The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Although there is not much to say, who is that person and what is his name, but the direction has been pointed so clearly. Chengdu is not far from Mount Qingcheng, and there happens to be such a prince living there, and Mount Qingcheng Within a radius of a hundred miles, there is no second prince anymore, so the person referred to here can only be that one, the Shuduan king of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xuanqi, don't think of being a second person.

Moreover, what surprised the ministers present was not only these things, but also other things.

"Queen Mother, my lords, what's the matter?" Zhang Fan pretended not to know anything, looked at the frowning faces of the people in front of him, and asked pretendingly, " This... Nothing has been found out yet, and Weichen also knows what the words of Weichen mean, but the queen mother and several adults will not be so arbitrary, maybe... maybe there is someone just to divert From our point of view, this is the intention to find an assassin from the Sichuan border to assassinate His Majesty, maybe."

"This matter... Mr. Zhang probably doesn't know yet," Lu Tiaoyang explained to Zhang Fan with a very embarrassed expression, "It's not surprising, after all, this matter only took three to five days. At that time, Mr. Zhang was still with His Majesty in the suburbs of Beijing, and what happened last night, it is reasonable for Mr. Zhang not to know, "

"This...Master Lu, what happened here?" Zhang Fan showed an even more confused expression, looked at the people in front of him, and asked, "Which adult can tell me about it?" ,What exactly happened here,"

"Hmph, what can't be said about this?" Seeing those people who still refused to speak, Queen Mother Li snorted coldly and said, "Now that things have come to such a point, this kind of thing is still hidden." Is it useful?"

"Master Zhang, that's the case." It's still Lu Tiaoyang. Anyway, the Empress Dowager Li has already spoken now. Zhang Fan's Jin Yiwei can know this kind of thing immediately, so it's better to say it out quickly, "Go up One month later, Lord Zhang must have known about Zhu Fengquan’s coming to Beijing, the son of King Shuduan.” Although Zhu Fengquan is the eldest son of Zhu Xuanqi, he has not been conferred the title of prince after all, so we can only call him here For the son.

"That's natural," Zhang Fan nodded, and said, "I went to see the young master that day, but please forgive Zhang Fan for being stupid, what does this matter have to do with the assassination of His Majesty now? No way,"

"Thinking about it, Mr. Zhang didn't pay much attention to this matter afterwards," Lu Tiaoyang continued, "Actually, since Zhu Fengquan came to Beijing, he has been living in the palace and has not left."

"Then Zhu Fengquan has been living in Beijing for almost two months," Queen Mother Li said in a cold tone, "it was when he first came, the emperor saw him once, but the emperor saw him as a child. At such a young age, he was so indifferent, so he didn't like it, and then he didn't see each other again. He came to Ai's family a few times, but Ai's family didn't like him very much, so he seldom talked, "

"In this way..." Zhang Fan said slowly with a look of uncertainty, "This Mr. Zhu Fengquan is still living in the capital."

"No," Lu Tiaoyang took over the conversation and continued, "Didn't you just say that this matter happened five days ago. At that time, Mr. Zhang was not in the court, so he didn't know. A few days ago, Zhu Fengquan had already come to the palace to bid farewell to the Queen Mother, and on the same day, he set off to go back, "

"This..." Although Zhang Fan has known this news for a long time, but now Zhang Fan wants to pretend that he doesn't know anything, it is naturally impossible to know this news, so now, Zhang Fan heard this news After that, he was completely surprised, "Zhu Fengquan has gone back, and...and it was just five days ago," and then, he was surprised and suddenly realized.

Now, even if these people still had any doubts about Zhang Fan's connection with this incident, now when they saw Zhang Fan's appearance, they all dispelled their doubts. Of course, It's not completely eliminated. After all, they will also consider that maybe all of this was planned by Zhang Fan and Queen Mother Li, but this kind of completely correct has become a very possibility in the hearts of these people. up.

What's more, even Zhang Juzheng, who was very skeptical about this matter from the beginning, has begun to shake in his heart after seeing Zhang Fan's expression at this moment, but at this moment Zhang Juzheng, who was in the middle of the night, could only be described as chaotic, his mind was in a mess because of the complicated situation in front of him, and he didn't know which one he should stick to.

In short, after this, the play between Zhang Fan and Queen Mother Li can be regarded as a success. First, they achieved their goal, and all these ministers planted a possibility in their hearts. It is possible that Zhu Xuanqi, the king of Shuduan, instigated and sent people to do it behind the scenes. Even if Zhu Xuanqi didn't order people to assassinate Zhu Yijun, his Duanwangfu is absolutely inseparable from this matter.

Secondly, it is to completely disregard the relationship between Zhang Fan and Queen Mother Li and this matter. Although both of them understand it in their hearts, even if these people know about this matter, they will definitely not accept it. It will be stuffy in the heart, and it is absolutely impossible to say it, but this kind of thing is always a burden. If the person who can do it is not aware of it, it will be even better, right?

Today, both of these are considered accomplished.

Now, everything, a situation that is essentially false, but looks extremely real, appeared in front of everyone.

Just imagine, the prince of Shuduan King over there just left, and the emperor was assassinated in less than five days. Moreover, the identity of this assassin, although it is not clear who he is, but through a group of big The confirmation of the inner guards and Wang Meng is already certain. The sword technique he used in the assassination is the well-known Songfeng sword technique in Jianghu, and this Songfeng sword technique is the Dumen extinct sword technique of Qingcheng School. , and, where is the Qingcheng sect? It's on Qingcheng Mountain in Shudi, and the one around Qingcheng Mountain that can be related to this matter again is the Shuduan Palace.

In this way, all the relationships are connected in series, and the things involved in it become clearer.

"Why, you can't think of it, or you don't dare to think about it," Empress Dowager Li looked at the ministers below, all with expressions of not knowing what to say, and snorted again, and said, "Now, although There is no evidence to prove that Zhu Xuanqi did this thing, but this connection is also on the surface, and no one can change it. Even if Zhu Xuanqi didn't do it, it is absolutely inseparable from this matter.

"Besides, is this kind of thing rare throughout the ages? Let alone him, Zhu Xuanqi, a prince who hasn't been in contact with the court for many years, so what if he is a brother." It seems to be for sure, anyway. The queen mother once again emphasized the possibility of this matter.

And the words of Empress Dowager Li also made those ministers who wanted to refute all shut their mouths. It would be good if Empress Dowager Li hadn’t said those words just now. It may be impossible to be able to talk, but in short, it is not possible to be completely cold here and ask if it is right, but after Queen Mother Li said what she said later, none of these ministers dared to speak again.

What did Queen Mother Li say at the end? It was simply to say that this kind of mutual killing between the same clan is a common thing in the special group of the royal family. Moreover, what did Queen Mother Li say about this matter? It's not bad at all, what kind of family relationship, what should a brother be, as long as you can get those status, who cares whether you are a brother or not, even if you are your biological parents.

Moreover, this kind of thing is indeed too common. It happens in every dynasty, and it is even unavoidable in any dynasty. Although, everyone can't think of it for a while, even if this This matter is really what Zhu Xuanqi said, but they don't know why Zhu Xuanqi did this kind of thing. They can't see any benefits that Zhu Xuanqi can get through this matter. Well, the assassin really succeeded in the assassination, but so what? The throne belongs to Zhu Zaihou’s son. After all, Zhu Yijun still has a brother, so it’s definitely not Zhu Xuanqi’s turn. Moreover, even if the assassination is successful , because Zhu Yijun still has a younger brother, so it is absolutely impossible for this world to be chaotic.

But even if all the people present understood that these were suspicious places, they were speechless. The reason was that what Queen Mother Li said at the end blocked their mouths. He said, but how could they, who are ministers, talk about the imperial affairs indiscriminately, and it is such a deadly matter, no matter what their status is, these ministers must never get involved.

It can be said that the words of Queen Mother Li completely blocked the mouths of these people, so that they would never speak out even if they had any thoughts. Sit down.

"Zhang Aiqing," Empress Dowager Li instructed Zhang Fan when no one spoke, "The Ai family has said about this matter before, and I will leave it to you to take full responsibility. Now, you will ask Jin Yiwei to investigate for the Ai family and take care of it." Check, just check what Zhu Fengquan has done in the capital in the past two months, don't let go of any details, the Ai family will give you three days, and you will submit it to the Ai family when you are done."

"Weichen... Zunzhi," Zhang Fan said with a look of extreme helplessness, and it was a curtain call for the scene.
