The words in it are sufficient to prove that the poisoning of the Queen Mother was a plan that King Xiang had already agreed upon with King Dongwu before he came to Beijing...
This move was intended to completely break the seemingly peaceful relationship between him and the emperor, so that King Xiang and Dongwu could reap the benefits!
King Yan was in a very angry mood at this time.
He was not so naive as to think that there would be no conflicts of interest between brothers, but King Xiang actually planned to kill his mother's life in order to succeed. It was really too unscrupulous...
For a country, this move is undoubtedly equivalent to inviting a wolf into the house, seeking skin from a tiger, and ignoring the people of Daqing!
At this moment, King Yan did not feel any hesitation in his heart.
After growing up for so many years, it was not that he couldn't see through the fourth brother's dislike of him, as well as the other's overt and covert thoughts - it was just that in his opinion, these little things were not worth paying attention to, and because he was the elder brother,
Therefore, I never really cared about the other party.
But in the current moment of great right and wrong, some things must not be tolerated in the slightest!
"This letter is enough to be used as evidence." Wu Chao said, "Just give it to the emperor."
Regarding the dragon chair under him, I am not afraid that the emperor will not investigate deeply.
Therefore, they no longer need to worry about the rest of the matter.
Xu Mingyi nodded and said: "Of course it has to be handed over to the emperor, but it is not appropriate for the prince to present it, otherwise it will definitely arouse suspicion. And if we talk about the origin of this letter, I am afraid that the King of Xiang will bite him back and cause trouble again.
Necessary storms and troubles.”
"That's right, Miss Xu is thoughtful." King Yan looked at the letter in his hand and said slowly: "In order to prevent the emperor from dealing with King Xiang privately, we need to expose this matter in front of others..."
If he does not do this, Minister Ji will still not be able to be cleared of his crime.
After Wu Chao thought for a moment, he asked: "Your Majesty is in the capital, is there anyone trustworthy who can come forward to promote this matter?"
King Yan nodded slightly: "I did think of an old friend..."
Although they could not be said to be good friends, and they had never exchanged letters over the years, he could trust the other party's loyalty and character, and considering his current status, he was also the most suitable person for this matter.
Tonight, he would go and see this old friend.
…
At the court meeting the next morning, all the ministers looked at it and saw that His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting on the dragon throne, seemed to look better than the previous two days, and they could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Since the emperor can still hold on, they can rest assured.
As a result, many people reported what happened in the past two days.
There were many unresolved local political affairs, as well as the current public discussion about the Queen Mother's near-poisoning. An elderly minister was talking and recited two limericks he heard in public.
The young official on the side had a complicated look on his face.
This limerick is obviously directed at the emperor. Why is this old fool reciting it in public? He is not afraid that the emperor and everyone will be embarrassed?
And despite my age, my memory is not bad, and I can still read two songs at once!
But this also shows how smooth this limerick is...
There are also those catchy nursery rhymes, which look quite similar to what they are like...
With such literary talent, wouldn't it be a good idea to get the top prize in the exam? Why bother to join the Purple Star Sect and do such a life-threatening job?
Emperor Qingming, who listened to two limericks in a row, maintained a peaceful and magnanimous look on his face and said: "What's wrong with the common people? It's just that they were temporarily deceived by the Purple Star Cult. When the case of Concubine Sun's attempt to poison his mother is settled, everything will be done."
Now that the truth is out in front of people, I expect these rumors will be put to rest——"
As he said that, he looked at the left and right censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who were among the civil servants, and asked: "Is there any progress in this case? Do Concubine Sun and Ji Xiu have any new testimony?"
This case was investigated and tried by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Dali Temple together with the Jishiwei. Regarding the progress of the case, the left and right imperial censors know best.
Fang Shen, the censor of the right capital, slightly raised his sleeves and was about to step out of the queue, when he saw the censor of the left capital next to him and stood up quickly.
Fang Shen was slightly startled - he... didn't seem to have revealed anything to the other party beforehand, right? Could it be that the other party was also secretly informed by the interrogator?
But how could this stubborn donkey act according to the arrangements of the police officer?
Fang Shen was puzzled when he saw Ming Xiaozhang salute and said in a solemn voice: "Your Majesty, there has been great progress in this case!"
Hearing this tone, Fang Shen's eyebrows jumped a few times - according to his understanding of this stubborn donkey, such a posture must cause big trouble!
Emperor Qingming nodded and signaled Mingxiao to continue.
Fang Shen opened his mouth in fear - Your Majesty, this is not one of ours at all, he has not read the manuscript!
And the next moment, his bad intuition was completely confirmed...
"Your Majesty, I believe that the mastermind behind Concubine Sun's attempt to poison the Queen Mother is King Xiang! Concubine Sun slandered the Minister of Ji, and she was actually exonerating her son!" The Ming Yushi's voice was loud and clear in the hall.
spread.
who?
King of Xiang?
Emperor Qingming's eyes froze, and he suddenly felt that he was not feeling well - what kind of mess is this? Who asked them to check the King of Xiang? Didn't the plan have been conveyed to Han Yan? He had written the script and followed it to the show.
No way?!
"..." Fang Shen didn't dare to raise his head to look at the emperor's eyes.
The "evidence" that Commander Han gave him that could prove Ji Xiu's crimes was all in his sleeve at this time, but who knew that this bald guy who couldn't figure out the situation would get the better of him!
Why did this bald guy get involved with King Xiang?
Still looking determined!
Fang Shen calmed down his thoughts and said at the right time: "Is there any evidence for what the Ming Yushi said? This case is clearly tried by me and the Ming Yushi together. How come I don't know that His Highness King Xiang is actually involved in this case?"
Speaking of evidence, what he had in his sleeve was enough to convict Ji Xiu. Today he had to make this stubborn donkey look good to him who was always against him.
Feeling the heavy sleeve bag, Fang Yushi calmed down.
However, this state of guaranteed victory could not last long——
Ming Xiaozhi didn't even look at the colleague who asked the question, as if he didn't even notice.
He took out a piece of bamboo tube from his sleeve, held it in his hand, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this is a secret message from Prince Xiang's palace. From what is written in it, we can see that Prince Xiang has been planning to murder the Queen Mother for a long time.
!And this letter appears to be from home.
The book is actually a secret letter exchanged with King Dongwu - King Xiang's murder of the Queen Mother was not out of personal grudges, but in collusion with Dongwu, in order to provoke a conflict between His Majesty and His Highness King Yan, so as to make things worse for us.
Internal troubles in Daqing will disrupt the foundation of our royal family in Daqing!"
When he first listened to the first half of the song, Emperor Qing Ming only felt a headache and irritation, as the Ming surname was really getting in the way and adding to the trouble. But when he actually heard the second part, his heart suddenly stirred up a huge storm.
The palace suddenly became noisy, and all the officials' expressions changed.
