As for Concubine Zhang... Although it sounds aggrieved, Du Xueqing is trying to eliminate the weak competitors, but the logic is irrefutable. Du Xueqing wants to eliminate his competitors, but he should not let the fifty-nine princes go, and the person who killed you, Concubine Zhang, then
Aren't you out of your mind?
The most likely possibility is that Concubine Zhang saw Du Xueqing's amazing potential and took the initiative to plot a plot to eliminate her son's rivals. However, the assassination failed and Du Xueqing counterattacked in revenge.
This is logical and consistent with what Concubine Yun said.
So you, Concubine Zhang and Concubine Yun, are seeking your own death and suffering. As a result, after being retaliated by others, you came to the emperor to complain, and you want to get us to support you.
Phew! What a beautiful thought.
We don't have a good relationship with Du Xueqing, but that doesn't mean we have to side with you and go against Eighty-Six.
You and Du Xueqing should resolve the grievances between you and Du Xueqing on your own, don't drag us into the water.
This is what everyone thought, but Concubine Zhang and Concubine Yun both had powerful bosses, and each had their own power, especially Concubine Zhang, who had always been strong, so everyone was unwilling to refuse in person, so they had no choice but to say nothing.
Concubine Zhang and Concubine Yun's faces turned cold.
They are not stupid. Although everyone is silent, they can't understand why no one is willing to support them. It's just because of their appearance that they can't oppose it.
Emperor Xuanqing said: "What do you mean if you don't speak?
Chang Chang, forty-five years old, you are an old man, please give me your opinion."
He pointed to a middle-aged man in his fifties standing in front of the sequence.
This royal family has three long characters and is two generations older than Emperor Xuanqing, but is much younger than Emperor Xuanqing.
Chang Chang Chang Forty-Five did not expect that the emperor would call his name, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go out: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that what Zhang Fei and Yun Fei said are very reasonable, and Wei Chen agrees with them personally.
But according to Dasheng law, evidence is needed to judge a case, and the murderer can only be determined with reasonable evidence, and Concubine Zhang and Concubine Yun have both said before that they have no evidence."
He stopped talking at this point, but the meaning is very obvious. Without evidence, it will be useless no matter how extravagant your words are.
Emperor Xuanqing said: "You mean that there is no evidence to support the testimony of Concubine Zhang and Concubine Yun?"
Long Changchang Forty-Five said slyly: "Your Majesty, I support Concubine Zhang and Concubine Yun in terms of personal emotions, but the iron rule of Dasheng is that you can't just talk about personal emotions."
Everyone misses this old cunning guy, but no one can offend him.
Concubine Zhang and Concubine Yun gave each other a long and forty-five look and said nothing.
Emperor Xuanqing nodded and asked several elders of the royal family by name. These people all learned to be long and forty-five, expressing their emotional understanding of Concubine Zhang and Concubine Yun. However, the national law is ruthless and you cannot talk about emotions. You must have evidence.
.
"Concubine Zhang, Concubine Yun, you all heard it, right?"
Emperor Xuanqing said: "At least so far, there is no evidence to prove that Eighty-six committed the murder. Of course, I am not judging that Eighty-six is not the murderer. Instead, I have ordered the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to jointly conduct a detailed investigation. After the investigation, we will
Look at the results. If the evidence is conclusive, no matter who the murderer is, I will not let it go. I will punish you according to the law and give you justice."
Concubine Zhang and Concubine Yun looked at each other, showing no signs of surprise or resentment at being rejected.
They knew that they couldn't do anything to Du Xueqing without evidence, and it was even more impossible for the emperor to deal with Du Xueqing without evidence.
If the emperor acts emotionally, he cannot become an emperor.
Even if the emperor has a personal bias, he will not show it, because once the emperor is biased and issues policy orders based on personal emotions, it will cause new injustice. This is something that damages the foundation of Dasheng. Other senior royal families will never allow it.
The emperor is indeed the greatest, but he cannot do whatever he wants.
In other words, it was not the emperor who ruled Dasheng, but the Du family represented by the emperor.
When an emperor falls, the Du family will support another spokesperson to come to power.
"Your Majesty said it, and I must obey it."
Concubine Zhang said: "But I am bold. After my inference and analysis, as well as what Concubine Yun and other royal family said, I can believe that Du Xueqing is the murderer, but there is no evidence and I can't prove her."
Her purpose was to make Du Xueqing a confirmed murderer. As for revenge, she would come back later.
However, Emperor Xuanqing couldn't hear the trap in her words. Of course he would not be fooled. He said calmly: "Concubine Zhang, you know that I will not express my position before there is evidence. You want to force me to do so."
Me?"
These words were not harsh, but to Concubine Zhang, they were like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I dare not, but I said something offensive. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Concubine Zhang immediately knelt down and said in panic, her heart pounding.
Although she is a powerful person in the combined stage, she is still very insignificant in front of the emperor.
When everyone saw this, they were all awe-struck.
Emperor Xuanqing naturally did not have the same understanding as her, so he waved his hand and said: "You and Concubine Yun should step aside. I will let someone inform you about this matter after the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple have the investigation results."
"yes."
Concubine Zhang and Concubine Yun both claimed that they were and were about to retreat.
Suddenly, the small door of Tianji Palace opened, and the young attendant walked in quickly: "Your Majesty, the 236th Prince, please see me."
Everyone's expressions changed.
Prince Chang 236 was the father of Prince Chang 97. He was the same person who competed for the throne with Emperor Xuanqing.
Of course, he never competed.
Although he has never competed with Emperor Xuanqing, Changchang Ersanliu has done well. Not only is he a powerful person in the combined stage, but his achievements are also quite eye-catching. He was named a prince, and he also raised Changjiuqiu, who is better than his master.
Yu Lan's son can also be regarded as a winner in life.
With his sudden arrival, could it be that there is some new news about the death of the ninety-seventh prince?
Emperor Xuanqing's expression changed: "Oh, please come in quickly."
The young entourage went out, and soon a middle-aged man with a majestic look came in.
The middle-aged man's eyes were full of gloom, and there was a hint of evil in the corners of his eyes.
As soon as he came in, he saw Concubine Zhang and Concubine Yun about to exit the main hall, and he saluted: "Two ladies, wait a minute. You are here because of the death of the monks in the harem and the 152nd Prince."
Concubine Zhang and Concubine Yun nodded.
Prince Chang 236 said: "Please wait a moment, ladies and gentlemen. What I am reporting to Your Majesty is also related to what you have experienced."
Concubine Zhang and Concubine Yun were surprised.
Could it be that Prince Changchang Ersanliu came here specifically to support them?
How can this be?
Not to mention that Prince Chang 236 was in the pain of losing his son when Prince Chang 97 was killed. Even if he hadn't, he had never interacted with them and was like a stranger. How could he suddenly come to help them.
Suddenly, Concubine Zhang thought of something and looked extremely shocked.
