In the early spring of the fifth year of Jingtai, Cao Jixiang, the eunuch of the Department of Supervision, was detained in imperial prison.
Beizhen Fusi first interrogation.
Before he was executed, this fourth-grade eunuch had already used all his moves. It didn't matter what he did, the whole government and the public became nervous.
Because Cao Jixiang recruited too many people!
In just a few days, dozens of people from the harem were implicated in the case of the prince in the East Palace falling into the water.
These people knew that they had been bitten by Cao Jixiang and would not be able to eat anything good after being imprisoned. They simply became dissatisfied and imitated Cao Jixiang. As long as they were officials who had interacted with them and did not have a good relationship, they even only heard their names.
Local officials and generals from the garrison who had never been seen before were also bitten.
Soon, the roster will be released.
In the Wenhua Hall, the air seemed to be stagnant, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly heavy.
Zhu Qiyu took the time to inspect the prince's studies.
As a result, Zhu Xiang hurried from the imperial prison and handed the list of suspects to Zhu Qiyu. Zhu Qiyu was very happy at first, thinking that Zhu Xiang was good at solving the case of the prince falling into the water so quickly.
Prove that he is a good emperor who appoints people according to their merits.
As a result, when I got the roster, I secretly thought it was a bit thick!
When I opened it again, I was confused.
There must be at least five to six hundred people, including nearly a hundred internal officials of the imperial palace, and as many as three to four hundred officials from the capital and localities, covering all factions in the government and the public.
Even the generals of Yu Qian's regiments and camps were listed.
How to check this?
Zhu Qiyu took the roster, stared at Zhu Xiang and said: "Is this the result of your investigation for a month or two?"
Are we going to launch a large-scale prison edict?
But I am not Taizong...
Zhu Xiang looked sad, "I didn't expect this result even in my humble position."
Censor Zhang Peng took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, I dare to say a few words. The case of Your Highness falling into the water has already alarmed the government and everyone in the capital. Especially the death of Chen Lie, the eunuch of the East Palace, has confirmed that there is a mastermind behind this matter. Beizhen Fusi
Following the clues, we tracked down Cao Jixiang, and ended up with such a huge roster. In fact, the truth has become clear, Cao Jixiang is not the real mastermind, and someone is giving him advice behind the scenes."
Zhu Qiyu nodded, "What the Qing family said makes sense."
It’s clear who this person is.
Unfortunately, there is no conclusive evidence.
As the emperor's master, Zhang Peng's status established his position and attitude. He continued: "The people behind the scenes must have believed that your majesty was kind and did not want to raise a large number of prisons, so they instructed Cao Jixiang and his followers to attack him in order to make this matter impossible.
Of."
Zhu Qiyu remained silent.
A bit unwilling.
Zhu Xiang asked weakly: "Your Majesty, are you still checking?"
Zhu Qiyu couldn't make up his mind for a moment. Looking at Zhu Jianji who was staring straight at him, his heart suddenly moved and he asked without thinking: "Jianji, do you think we should continue to investigate?"
Zhang Peng and Zhu Xiang were speechless.
On such an important matter, our great emperor actually consulted the five-year-old prince for his opinion.
Who will believe it if it is spread?
The two of them thought for a while that they had heard wrongly.
Zhu Qiyu also came to his senses. He was indeed at a loss. How could he be stupid enough to ask his son? Although his son was precocious and intelligent, he was only a five-year-old child after all.
What can be taken into consideration?
Unexpectedly, Zhu Jianji suddenly stood up and said, "I want to check, but not all of them!"
Zhu Jianji knew that there were Empress Dowager Sun in the harem, remnants of the eunuch Wang Zhen, and speculative groups like Shi Heng between the government and the public who supported Zhu Qizhen. If they were not careful, they would seize the throne.
I am still young and need the space and time to develop in a low-key manner by pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
While Zhu Qiyu is in great power, help him as much as you can.
Zhu Qiyu, who originally had no hope, suddenly brightened up and his expression became relaxed. He stretched out his hand to pull Zhu Jianji into his arms and asked, "Jianji, what do you mean by this?"
Zhu Jianji was very unhappy...
Even though several years have passed, I still feel awkward every time I am held in Zhu Qiyu's arms.
Having said that, when I was hugged by Queen Hang, I felt warm again.
Said: "Lao Zhu, don't you understand? Others are bullying you for being weak. If you don't respond, others will sit on our father and son's heads and piss on you every day.
If you are tired, you must know that a good person will be bullied by others, and a horse will be ridden by others if it is good."
Zhang Peng supported his forehead.
He didn't teach the prince to say shit or piss.
It's an insult to elegance, it's an insult to elegance.
Well, it must be the tutor's problem, not his responsibility as a teacher.
Zhu Qiyu didn't think there was anything wrong with the old Zhu family's tutoring. That was the temperament of the little bastard, so he asked: "Jianji, tell me, if you want to check, why don't you check everything?"
Zhu Jianji's eyes widened, "Old Zhu, are you stupid? As far as the thickness of this list is concerned, there must be hundreds of people at least. How could so many people be involved in a mere drowning case? Ninety percent of them are innocent people."
The one who bit him was someone deliberately setting up a smoke screen, so there is no need to fully investigate, so it is better to just keep an eye on Cao Jixiang."
Hearing what Zhu Jianji said, Zhu Qiyu was in a good mood, and my son was smart. He could clear up the clouds with just one word. No matter how much Cao Jixiang tried to bite him, it was inevitable that the case of the prince falling into the water was related to Cao Jixiang. Then I would just keep an eye on you, Cao Jixiang, to investigate.
!
Under torture in prison, I don’t believe you, Cao Jixiang, didn’t tell the truth.
Zhu Qiyu murmured thoughtfully: "If we only check Cao Jixiang, wouldn't it mean that the thunder is big and the rain is small?"
It can't have the effect of beating the Queen Mother Sun.
Zhu Xiang said weakly: "A little bit."
Zhang Peng suddenly said: "If I remember correctly, on the day when Chen Lie, the eunuch of the East Palace, died, His Highness Prince Yi also disappeared for the whole night. It seems that the Queen Mother even fainted."
This is to remind Zhu Qiyu that if he wants to beat the Queen Mother, he can start with His Highness King Yi.
Zhu Qiyu understood.
But he didn't say anything. He hugged Zhu Jianji into his arms, stood up with a smile and said, "Let's go to the school grounds. I'll see how your results are during these days of studying bow and horse with Zhu Yong."
Unexpectedly, his legs were weak and he staggered, falling to the ground together with Zhu Jianji.
Zhu Jianji got out of Zhu Qiyu's arms, straightened up, patted his butt, and said with a sad face, "Old Zhu, you don't look good on your face, and even your body and bones are not good. You have become a soft-legged shrimp at a young age. From now on,
How dare you go to see Taizu Taizong!"
Some worries.
Zhu Qiyu is only in his twenties, and he can't even hold himself.
Of course it's not that I'm fat.
This guy still doesn't take care of his three legs. As long as he has free time, he will ask the Jiaofangsi to send prostitutes to Qianqing Palace, and he will have a great time.
But there is nothing we can do.
In the whole world, no one can control Lao Zhu.
Xing'an hurriedly helped him, and Zhu Qiyu got up in embarrassment and found Zhang Peng lowering his head to clean up the desk. He didn't seem to notice his embarrassment, but Zhu Xiang looked on stupidly.
The Emperor of Heaven suddenly became angry and shouted at Zhu Xiang: "What are you doing here? Go back to the imperial prison and interrogate Cao Jixiang!"
Zhu Xiang looked innocent.
Did I offend you?
You fell down on your own! This chapter has been completed!
