Zhang Jiang said respectfully: "Thank you to the Empress Hong Fu, the old minister has lived a good life in the past few years."

He is obviously a very reserved person. Perhaps because he has been working in Mingjingsi for the rest of his life, every sentence and even every word is carefully considered without any loopholes.

The Empress Dowager nodded at him with satisfaction before continuing: "After saying that, what happened more than ten years ago."

Zhang Jiang said: "The old minister was kind to the late emperor and took charge of Mingjingsi, and he was still conscientious in his duties. Just over ten years ago, the old minister remembered it very clearly. It was the year of Xinchou, which was the second year after His Majesty ascended the throne. At that time, Mingjingsi found some clues. There seemed to be remnants of the philosophers hidden in the palace. They entered the palace as palace servants, and they didn't know what they were plotting. After learning about this, the old minister made a quick decision and wanted to report to Your Majesty and investigate the matter to the end."

"But when I found a palace servant, I hesitated."

"Why hesitate?" The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows lightly, looking puzzled.

Zhang Jiang sighed: "Because this palace man is pregnant and has a dragon seed. Moreover, I only found out through investigation that this palace man may be related to the remnants of the sons, but there is no ironclad evidence. The palace man was soon named Chengpin because of this. In order to be cautious, the old minister had to order people to continue to investigate secretly and search for evidence. When there are enough evidence, he will report to His Majesty."

"The Empress must know that the crimes of the rebels and the remnants of the sects are the most difficult to determine, because they are involved in the sins of unforgivable. Once they are discovered, they will die without a place to bury them. Therefore, these people are particularly cunning and careful. Whenever Mingjingshi finds anyone suspected, they will take him to interrogate and find out the truth."

He said, as if he recalled the situation at that time, his eyes were a little erratic.

"It's just because it was involved with Concubine Cheng, so I could only have someone to secretly visit it, but it was so easy. At that time, I even wondered if I had found out that it was wrong. Concubine Cheng was not a remnant of all the philosophers. It was just because he entered the palace by chance. But I never expected that after Concubine Cheng gave birth to a prince, I remember that only two or three days later, the late emperor suddenly summoned me to the palace. The late emperor was young and energetic at that time, and was working hard to govern. But that day, when I saw the emperor, I was shocked, but saw that the late emperor was withered and depressed. When I saw him, I suddenly asked me, who was Cheng?"

"I was stunned and suddenly realized something. I hurriedly said that this person was suspected to be a remnant of the sons. The late emperor laughed wildly and said, "Assumably, it was true." He even said many things, then sat down and suddenly said to me that the crown prince was missing. He also said that the crown prince was missing. Not only that, even the prince born to the crown prince was missing. The two babies disappeared at the same time."

"I was frightened and was hurried to apologize. Your Majesty only waved his hand and said, "It's not your fault, I'm just blaming me, I'm too careless and careless, and the person next to me... The late emperor couldn't continue to say anything later. He suddenly said sternly that he must find the crown prince, must find it, and to mobilize all the strength. I hurried to agree. The old minister still remembers that the old minister told the late emperor that the old minister would definitely fulfill his mission and find the two princes."

"The late emperor sneered and said tiredly, "Let's find the crown prince. I asked, "What about Chengpin and others?" The late emperor said coldly that a remnant of the sons gave birth to a prince for me. If this matter is reported, if the ancestors and ancestors know about it, they may be uneasy. For the country and the country, this news must not be revealed."

"The old minister understood at that time. Since he understood the meaning of Your Majesty, he began to check all those who knew about this matter overnight. All the palace servants who knew this secret were sent to guard the tomb in the ancestral tomb. They were never allowed to contact outsiders, let alone go out. As for the others who knew little, they didn't care, but released news that there was a saying that there was a Chengpin in the palace who did give birth. Unfortunately, he encountered misfortune during the delivery process and did not survive. Not only that, I also went to the Imperial Hospital and modified the records of the Imperial Hospital. The relevant jade plates and silver plates in the ancestral mansion were also modified. All the information about Chengpin will be erased."

Zhang Jiang paused for a moment, and he seemed to hesitate, but he still said: "In the Mingjing Division, the lieutenant who has investigated Chengpin's affairs, has also dealt with it completely."

What he said was very plain, but even so, it still made many people's hair stand up.

Because everyone knows what the word "clean" means, naturally they will never be able to speak and hide this secret.

Mingjingsi was only loyal to the palace. They were both responsible for pursuing the rebellion. To some extent, they were also responsible for keeping secrets. In order to investigate or keep secrets, they did not mind using all means. These means were only in Zhang Jiang's mouth today, and they were coldly revealing the tip of the iceberg, but they could also feel this horror.

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes and said seriously: "In this way, Governor Zhang also determined that there were two princes, right?"

"Yes." Zhang Jiang kowtowed: "The former emperor treated me and had the kindness of knowing me. The old minister was always unhappy with Your Majesty. Because of this, if it were not forbidden to be the one who had no choice, the old minister would definitely not dare to tell the truth. The old minister dared to use the head as a guarantee. It was true that there were two princes."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she smiled and said, "So, how to prove it? The Ai family did not mean that Governor Zhang could not believe in it. It was just that it would be better to have some proof."

Zhang Jiang said: "There is something."

"What?" The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes, smiling.

Zhang Jiang said seriously: "Yu Die!"

When everyone heard the jade plate, they started to whisper.

Any clan of the clan will have a jade plate. After they are born, they will be recorded and then hidden in the clan's mansion. This is equivalent to a birth certificate.

And this thing is almost impossible to forge, and this evidence is more reliable than Eunuch Yang's oral statements.

The Empress Dowager was obviously afraid that people would not believe it, so she smiled faintly and said, "Where did the jade plate come from?"

"I was ordered to erase everything about Chengpin and the prince. Since it was claimed to be that Chengpin died of labor, then there should naturally be no other prince in this world. So... I was ordered to destroy the jade plate of Chengpin's son. However... Although the old minister searched the jade plate from Zongling's Mansion at that time, it still kept it. After all, this was related to the life experience of a prince, and the old minister always..."

He didn't continue to say what happened later.

The governor of the Mingjingsi, of course, you must be very cautious when doing anything. Keeping this in your hands can prevent it before it happens.

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly and said with a serious expression: "If what Eunuch Yang said is right, now this jade plate..." The Empress Dowager paused and continued: "This jade plate should be the jade plate of the real crown prince."

At this time, the civil and military officials all looked sallow in their faces. Everything has been proved, proving that there are two princes, proving that the prince has lost his bag, and His Majesty is still in court today because of his identity as the crown prince. How to prove that he is the crown prince? It is because of the jade plate of Zongling Mansion. The narration of the crown prince in Zongling Mansion is that there are three moles on his waist, age, and many life experiences are consistent. But now... the jade plate of Zongling Mansion has proved that His Majesty is not the real crown prince at all, but just the son of Chengpin.

This means that His Majesty now has little orthodoxy.

If he was just an ordinary prince and had ascended the throne, even if the real crown prince came out, it would be a coincidence. Everyone would still continue to shout long live Chen Wuji, who was born in an ordinary prince. But Chen Wuji is different. Your Majesty now... After all, it has something to do with the remnants of the sects.

Who are these remnants? They are like the rioters. They will never admit the princes born to such people, let alone become emperors. That's not even thinking about it.

And now... when Zhang Jiang carefully took out the jade plate and handed it to the little eunuch, the little eunuch presented it to the empress dowager, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

Because they knew very well that this jade plate was the proof of the real crown prince. The person recorded on the jade plate was the most legal master of the Great Chen Dynasty and the real destiny of the emperor, and Chen Wuji was a sinister seed.

The Empress Dowager took the jade plate and put it in her hand. After looking at it, she couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect that there would be such twists and turns."

Her feelings made Chen Kaizhi feel disgusted. This woman is so good at acting. She did this, but it doesn't matter. Let's see what else she can do.

The Empress Dowager sighed deeply before saying, "This jade plate proves something..." She raised her eyes and looked around everyone, and then slowly said, "It proves that Eunuch Yang is right, come and read it out."

After hearing the order, an eunuch took the jade plate and sang loudly: "The second son of the emperor, Chen Wuhen, was born on the 8th day of the seventh month of the year of Xinchou in Yongkang, weighed seven kilograms and three liang, and had a birthmark between his legs, shaped like a long snake..."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she had taken the graphics drawn by Eunuch Yang: "Look at it all, see what the birthmark of Eunuch Yang is like. If you see it, it is also like a long snake. The Crown Prince is the one with a long snake birthmark between his legs. This person is the crown prince of my Dachen, the close relative of the late emperor. He should have moved into the Eastern Palace, inherited the great throne, and was the master of my Dachen Jiangshan, and would have inherited the orders of his ancestors and governed the world."

Suddenly, the Empress Dowager's eyes became sharp and shouted at Chen Kaizhi: "Chen Kaizhi, don't you still know the crime?"

She looked angry, as if she had an irreconcilable hatred with Chen Kaizhi. She said shrillly: "It's you, you killed the crown prince, you, you killed the queen grandson of the Ai family. Now, the Ai family should calculate the accounts with you, and pay the blood debts and blood!"
