The two were surprised. This incident was not recorded in Jin Yiwei's archives, or even in any history books. This was the first time even Wang Jingzhi heard that Emperor Taiqian molested his sister-in-law. Perhaps only those of that year Only the survivors' oral accounts can reveal some truth, and Quartet's oral accounts undoubtedly surprised the two of them about that period of history. In particular, was Emperor Taigan's character really so inferior?
"You don't know about this?" Zhang Xiaowu asked.
"How did I know?" Wang Jingzhi said, "I was just a golden-clad guard at that time, and I was responsible for collecting intelligence from Fan Bang."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "If this thing is true, it would be too shameful. Such a drunken behavior would be a bit too dissolute, or could it be drugged?"
Wang Jingzhi said: "It doesn't matter if it's someone else. The emperor's wine, meat and food must be tested by the guards, and the emperor can only take three bites of each dish. After three bites, the dish must be changed."
Sifang said: "You don't need to make blind guesses. That's just too much. The old dog just drank too much. He usually drinks very little, but after watching Miss Jia's Jinghong Fairy Dance, he drank too much unconsciously, and then he drank too much." To do such a scandalous thing.”
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Prince Ning asked his concubine to perform a dance, I'm afraid he didn't have any good intentions."
Sifang said: "Prince Ning, of course he is not a good guy, but how dare he stop the person the emperor wants?" Then Sifang laughed arrogantly and said angrily: "The Emperor Taigan who is revered by everyone is actually an emperor. Is it hard for you to accept such a scum? Yushuai, you have always been loyal to Emperor Taigan, whom you have always admired. For a drunken gaffe, you framed Prince Ning, saying that he had an affair with a beauties in the harem, and finally sent troops to destroy him. Prince Ning's Mansion. Moreover, he also killed everyone who attended the banquet that day, including Miss Jia, who was insulted by him. Such a person is worse than an animal! I killed his son, and I let his son kill his son. Is it wrong? ?”
Zhang Xiaowu and Wang Jingzhi looked at each other and smiled bitterly. As the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Sima Sifang was indeed a gentleman who had endured for many years, but they did not expect that his revenge actually came from a woman.
Wang Jingzhi said: "The Dade Emperor is different from the Taigan Emperor. He has not done anything to let you down."
Sifang said: "Yes, but in order to get the antidote, I have to do this."
Wang Jingzhi said: "I will find the antidote for you. Since Protector Yun is in Lingnan, I will go deep into Lingnan to find him."
Sifang shook his head and said: "No need, I'm tired after searching for so many years and I don't want to look anymore."
"Then do you know where King Jin is?" Zhang Xiaowu asked.
Sifang smiled faintly and said: "I said, I won't say what I don't want to say. I can only tell you that he is not in Longdu City. I don't want to say the rest, so just leave it like that."
Wang Jingzhi said: "If you tell me the whereabouts of Prince Jin, I can plead with His Majesty and spare your life."
Sifang said: "My life is a kind of torture, but it would be better if I died. Do you know why I surrendered and waited at home?"
Wang Jingzhi said: "Why?"
Sifang said: "I'm not afraid of the Silver Guards. Even if they catch me, they will eventually let me go. And the reason why I stay in my hometown is because I'm waiting for you, and I'm waiting to say sorry to you. Yushuai , after years of cultivation, I really feel guilty for you, I’m sorry, Yushuai."
Zhang Xiaowu asked curiously: "I don't understand, where do you get your confidence from? Did Liang Jingru give you the courage?"
Sifang asked: "Who is Liang Jingru?"
"A singer."
"I don't know." Sifang leaned back and adjusted his sitting position, "When you go home tomorrow, you will know why I said that."
"What do you mean?"
"You can wait. I said, if I don't want to say it, I will never say it."
Zhang Xiaowu was furious and was about to step forward to question him, but was stopped by Wang Jingzhi. He said that Sifang was indeed very careful and calculated, and would never talk empty words, let alone big words. You'd better go home and take a look.
Did he arrest your family and threaten you? Zhang Xiaowu also went home immediately and sent people to protect the Hejian Hou Mansion. There was no incident until the morning. He couldn't help but suspect that Sima Sifang was really cheating.
"Master Shaobao, Master Shaobao, it's not good." Suddenly Wei Yuan, the lieutenant general of the Royal Forest Army, came to the Hejian Marquis Mansion in person and said urgently: "Prince, Prince, he slept well last night, but he won't sleep well today.
Wake up, the imperial doctor has rushed over, you can go and have a look too."
Zhang Xiaowu rushed to the palace immediately. At this time, Tang Guifei was anxiously guarding the child. No matter how she called, Chenghua could not wake up. Several imperial doctors on the side were also helpless. Zhang Xiaowu thought of the warnings from all directions and ordered the imperial doctors to continue thinking.
There is no way to treat him, but the emperor is still awake, the prince is in a coma, and both of them are lying in bed in a vegetative state. Moreover, the crown prince's canonization ceremony is in two days, so this matter must not be delayed and changed.
"Master Shaobao, what should we do now?" Tang Guifei said with tears.
"Don't alarm anyone." Zhang Xiaowu ordered, and then said to Wang Jingzhi: "Shuai Yu, can you restore the Golden Guards? Can you guarantee the loyalty of the Golden Guards?"
Wang Jingzhi asked with a half-smile: "Who should I be loyal to?"
This was a very bold question, but Zhang Xiaowu replied bluntly: "I am loyal to your majesty and loyal to the prince. Your majesty has no other children, so naturally there is no issue of competition for the heirloom. Jin Yiwei does not need to think too much about his position."
Wang Jingzhi understood Zhang Xiaowu's intentions. Zhang Xiaowu did not want to be a rebellious minister. Of course, it was not ruled out that he wanted to monopolize power. Now that the emperor was in a coma and the crown prince was young, having a young and promising powerful official like Zhang Xiaowu was not a bad idea.
A way. He realized that he had underestimated Zhang Xiaowu before. He had always thought that Zhang Xiaowu
Xiaowu was a reckless military general, and even a frontier poet with a hint of romanticism. But now it seems that Zhang Xiaowu definitely knows how to seize the opportunity better than anyone else when he encounters an unexpected situation. He sighed and smiled.
He said: "Since you have made the choice for me, I have nothing to say. Jin Yiwei will never betray the king."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Okay, Xia Ming, take Commander Wang to the Jinyiwei Yamen and announce that the Jinyiwei will be unblocked today. Commander Wang wants you Jinyiwei to investigate the case thoroughly and be sure to find the person who murdered the prince."
Wang Jingzhi frowned and said: "Commander?"
"Yes, the Commander of the Jinyiwei should be called the Commander of the Jinyiwei. In fact, the name has been changed, but the official position and functions have not changed." Lu Boting explained with a smile.
Wang Jingzhi said: "It doesn't matter, leave this case to us. In an hour, I will personally bring twenty gold-clad guards into the palace. I will also ask the concubine to give her a gold medal for entering the palace."
Tang Guifei said: "As long as the murderer of my son can be found, these twenty gold medals mean nothing."
