Chapter 1077 Convocation

King Shanyang died unjustly, and it seemed to be an accident.

It is said that after he left the palace of Suning County Prince, he took the prince of Shu as his companion because he was in a bad mood, ran to a restaurant near Shichahai, and booked a private room on the second floor facing the water to drink and relieve his boredom.

During this period, they called for a little singer, but it didn't last long, and they were sent out within half an hour.

According to what the singer told the government officials afterwards, at that time King Shanyang was drinking glass after glass of wine and talking to the Prince of Shu about his difficult life in recent years. He almost cried when he talked about it, and then started scolding him again.

Several officials in charge of the clan's mansion also scolded the elders of the clan who had been good friends with him in the past. They felt that they had changed their faces in recent years and refused to take care of him anymore. They were too ruthless and unjust. Perhaps it was because the words of King Shanyang had already touched upon the issue.

It was a relatively sensitive topic, so Prince Shu sent Xiao Chang away at that time and gave her an extra two taels of silver to ask her not to tell anyone what she heard.

Then, it was almost the second watch. King Shanyang was already drunk and went crazy. He ran to the window, opened it, and yelled for Chu Zhengfang, the newly appointed deputy commander of the city guard, saying that he would know about it later.

He asked the latter to be careful. At this time, Chu Zhengfang happened to be walking nearby with a group of soldiers. When he saw King Shanyang going crazy with alcohol, he frowned and sent someone to ask what was going on. King Shanyang

I don't know if he was scared or something, but he just rolled out of the window and fell into Shichahai.

At this time, the first lunar month had just passed, and the weather was quite cold, and the ice on the surface of Shicha Lake had not yet completely melted. King Shanyang fell in like this, and he was so drunk that he immediately lost his voice. When he brought his entourage, the city

When the guards' soldiers and the restaurant's waiters worked together to pull him out of the water, he was already frozen. The restaurant owner invited a doctor to come and see him, saying that he was dead and could not be saved.

After the body was returned to Prince Shanyang's Mansion, Princess Shanyang burst into tears, but she couldn't save her, so she vented her anger on her entourage. The shopkeeper of the restaurant, the Crown Prince of Shu who was traveling with him, and the prince who was rumored to be

Zhao Mo, the king of Suning County, who was regarded as the source of King Shanyang's bad mood today, was cried and scolded by her.

Of course, with Zhao Mo's current status, Princess Shanyang only cried and cursed a few words in front of her family, and did not dare to really make too much trouble in front of the public. The people she really regarded as a weakling and scolded people were those in restaurants and

The two sides of the prince of Shu.

Who said that the shopkeepers and waiters of the restaurant were ordinary people, while the prince of Shu was a descendant of the clan who had lost power?

However, when someone from the restaurant later sent word that the owner behind them was also a respectable nobleman, the only person Princess Shanyang was scolding was the Prince of Shu.

Zhao Mo listened to the news at home all night and felt baffled.

Why is he the source of King Shanyang's bad mood? The first time King Shanyang came to his house, he broke his things for no reason. He even apologized for gifts and things, but he didn't even give them to Shanyang.

The king rolled his eyes, but still politely gave away the gifts and accepted them all. Why should King Shanyang be in a bad mood because of him? If it was for the gift, hadn't it been planned by the other party a long time ago?

Want to give it to him? The gift he originally prepared for his fiancée was thrown by the other party, and he was not angry. The other party behaved like a rebellious sinner, and he was kind enough to help investigate the truth so that the other party would not be wronged. How could he just stay in the dark?

It’s so unreasonable to be splashed with such sewage!

The next day Zhao Mo entered the palace early in the morning to look for the prince. On the day they discovered that King Shanyang was acting suspiciously, King Shanyang died in a daze. This couldn't be a coincidence! They had to figure it out.

Understand what is going on.

The expression on the prince's face was also full of words: "This morning, when the report came up, I thought it was a mistake. Yesterday, I was depressed and left your house without taking care of it. After returning to the palace,

The more I thought about it, the more something was wrong. I felt that King Shanyang did not seem to be the culprit. I was discussing with my father to call him into the palace and question him carefully. Who knew he died? The people below said it was an accident.

, but I don’t believe it. How can there be so many accidents in the world?!"

Zhao Mo said: "My nephew thinks so too, but what I can hear at home is the news that can be inquired from outside. I can only go into the palace and ask His Highness what is going on?"

The prince said: "Gu Zheng is going to his father's place, so you might as well come together. Your father, the emperor, summoned the prince of Shu, Chu Zhengfang and others, as well as the restaurant clerks brought by Shuntian Prefecture and Shanyang Prince's House

Let’s go over the details of the attendant’s testimony together.”

Zhao Mo originally wanted to ask the prince if he had heard about the letter sent back from Yuan Tongzhi, but he swallowed it again. There was no need for him to be anxious. Yuan Tongzhi must have given the real information to the emperor before informing him.

That's where it went. Whether the prince knows it or not, he will know it sooner or later.

There were quite a lot of people at the emperor's place. It was obvious that the emperor was also very interested in this matter. He also invited the Queen Mother, several chief officials of the clan's mansion, King Xiuning and several other virtuous elders in the clan to come over.

As a witness, Princess Shanyang stood in plain clothes beside the Queen Mother, without even a seat. Behind her, there was a nun waiting beside the Queen Mother, holding for her the young and only son of Prince Shanyang - the emperor to this day.

It hasn't been mentioned yet whether the child can inherit his late father's title.

Zhao Mo came with the prince, and when he saw this scene, he immediately restrained his momentum and made sure to act like a low-key junior, showing his innocence at all times.

The emperor took control of the situation and started asking questions one by one.

Let me first ask the prince, why did King Shanyang and the Crown Prince of Shu go with him to the palace of Suning County? When did they go? When did they leave? Did anything unpleasant happen during the period? Crown Prince, Prince of Suning County

Zhao Mo and the Crown Prince of Shu were both present and clearly explained the situation at that time. In fact, King Shanyang could not say that he had suffered any grievances. After hearing this, Princess Shanyang understood what was going on and naturally did not dare to complain openly or secretly about Zhao.

No matter what, he glanced a few more times in the direction of the Prince of Shu.

King Shanyang was in a bad mood after coming out of Suning County Prince's Mansion. This was told by the Prince of Shu. Even if she misunderstood Suning County Prince, it was still his fault! She was a womanly woman, and her husband had just died.

The child is still young, how can other people have the nerve to care about her?

No one cares about her. Zhao Mo only needs to explain his part clearly. As long as no one pours dirty water on his head, this matter has nothing to do with him.

The emperor asked the prince of Shu: "You told people that King Shanyang was in a bad mood after leaving the Guanglu family. What is going on?"

The prince of Shu actually did not expect that the emperor would summon all the people from all parties to interrogate and confront those who confronted him in this way. This made it impossible for him to continue to confuse individual people in front of everyone, but he could not change his confession, so he could only vaguely

He said: "Uncle Wang never made it clear, he just complained vaguely that the things he originally planned could not be done. My nephew originally thought that Uncle Wang was saying that he broke something belonging to Prince Suning, and was afraid that Prince Suning

The king was angry and refused to agree to his request, so he comforted Uncle Wang and said that Prince Suning was not that kind of person. He was treating him kindly today and asked him to just relax. Uncle Wang said that my nephew did not understand at all.

What was he worried about? His nephew asked him, but he refused to say it clearly. He just kept drinking to drown his sorrows. Uncle Wang had never been like this before going to Suning County Prince's Mansion, so his nephew thought that he was in Suning.

What kind of setbacks have been encountered in the prince's palace, so he is in a bad mood..."

To some people who know the "inside story", the words of the Prince of Shu may make them suspect that King Shanyang actually dropped the machine box and found that there were no forged letters inside, plus three Beirong soldiers.

The spy is dead or captured, and the plan is thwarted, so he will be in a bad mood, right?

Zhao Mo secretly stared at the Prince of Shu for a few times, and then looked at the expressions of the emperor and the prince. The emperor's face was calm, with no idea. The prince was a little surprised, but other than that, there was nothing strange.

.I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince believes what the Prince of Shu said?

While Zhao Mo was secretly observing, the prince of Shu also mentioned how he and King Shanyang went to a restaurant to have a drink: "Uncle Wang wanted to find a place to drink, saying he would drink at home, and Aunt Wang would control him, but he didn't want to

Letting his family know that he was in a bad mood, he asked my nephew if he knew any good places. How could my nephew dare to take Uncle Wang to those messy places? There is a restaurant that he often goes to. The food is clean and the waiters know the rules.

My nephew invited Uncle Wang to go with him. Originally, he wanted to go to a private room that my nephew would always book, but Uncle Wang insisted that he wanted to go to a place where he could climb up and enjoy the view. The water of Haizi was open, and he looked at it.

Jing'er drank and felt better. My nephew didn't have much to say to Uncle Wang, so he asked the waiter to lead the way to the private room on the second floor..."

Later, there was the matter of their uncle and nephew having a drink together. In addition to the testimony of the Crown Prince of Shu, this part also included what Princess Shanyang asked from her own servants, as well as what the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture found out from interrogating many witnesses.

The confession was quite detailed.

The prince of Shu did not let the waiters wait in front of him. After the wine and food were served, he sent them out and asked the two attendants to pour the wine. After King Shanyang had finished a few glasses of wine and got excited, the prince of Shu

He asked his entourage to bring the other party's entourage to a separate table downstairs. He said it was his treat and personally held the pot to persuade Uncle Wang to drink. He was so hospitable. How could King Shanyang, who was in good spirits at that time, not accept it?

Later, when King Yang's followers saw him calling Xiao Chang, they thought that the two masters were going to do some unsightly thing in the private room. They didn't want the servants to be an eyesore in front of them, so they thought they were smart and went to eat and drink.

The Palace of Prince Yang was in a bad situation, and they, the servants, did not have many opportunities to eat and drink. It was rare to meet a rich man like the Prince of Shu, who would not take advantage of him.

What happened next was basically clear with the testimony of the little singer. The elders of the clan and the officials of the clan mansion knew that King Shanyang cursed them after getting drunk, and their expressions were not very good. Princess Shanyang saw this.

, also cowed, lowered his head and wiped his tears without saying a word, but secretly complained to his husband in his heart: No matter how many troubles there are, why don't you go home and drink if you want to drink? It has made me lose my life now.

If you offend a circle of people, how will they live as orphans and widowers in the future?!

After Shuntian Prefecture Yin finished reading Xiao Chang's testimony, he reported it to the emperor. Until King Shanyang became drunk and fell into the water from the second floor window sill, no relevant witnesses could provide any testimony. Because during this period of time, it was known that

What King Shanyang did was only the Crown Prince of Shu who was in the same private room with him.

And the only one who watched helplessly as King Shanyang got drunker and drunker, but failed to stop him in time, was the Crown Prince of Shu.

Everyone's eyes were focused on his face, with different expressions. The Prince of Shu couldn't help but feel trembling when he saw this.
