The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 58
After drinking with a few people and parting ways, Mu Xu went straight to the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, because when he mentioned Jia Zhen just now, he couldn't help but think of Qin Keqing.

He suddenly remembered that the Embroidered Guard was dismissed after the former crown prince committed a crime, so the Embroidered Guard should have records of what happened to his subordinates before he committed the crime.

When he came to the yamen, Mu Xu found Zhang Cheng, stared into his eyes, and asked seriously, "Is there any record in those documents, the information about the former prince and his confidants?"

Zhang Cheng thought about it and saw no one around.After hesitating for a long time, he finally nodded and said, "Yes, sir, do you want to see it?"

Seeing that Mu Xu nodded, Zhang Chengcheng was going to bring it over, but Mu Xu stopped him, "I'll go and see it with you, don't bother."

The two went all the way to the document room, Zhang Cheng took Mu Xu to a bookshelf hidden in the dark, pointed to a pile of documents, "Please look, my lord, they are all here."

Mu Xu looked at this pile of documents, thinking about Qin Keqing's age, and said to Zhang Chengdao, "You pick out all the files about the former prince's whereabouts eighteen years ago, and Qin Ye, who is now the secretary of the catering department, is eighteen years old. The dossier of the previous and subsequent years."

Zhang Cheng rummaged for a long time, found two old files and handed them to Mu Xu. Mu Xu took them in his hands, but didn't go out, and stood here looking through them.

Seeing Mu Xu like this, Zhang Cheng walked out quietly, and after a while, he put a chair beside Mu Xu.

Mu Xu nodded to him, sat on the chair and looked carefully, and found what he wanted in it. It was clearly recorded that the former crown prince had secretly entered and exited Piaoxiang Tower three times, and later he picked up a The prostitute lived in Tianshui Alley, and the woman died the next year, the cause of death is unknown.After that it was gone.

He opened Qin Ye's file again and checked it directly. It also recorded that Qin Ye adopted a baby girl from the Yangsheng Hall seventeen years ago. Mu Xu compared the time of the woman's death with the time Qin Ye raised the baby girl Look, the difference is less than two months.Looking back, a few years ago, the crown prince sent people to give rewards to Qin Ye almost every year, which lasted for seven or eight years until something happened to him.

After such a comparison, the result is clear at a glance, Qin Keqing is indeed the illegitimate daughter of the former prince, and was adopted by Qin Ye, the confidant of the former prince, only because her biological mother was of low status and later passed away for unknown reasons.

Mu Xu pointed to those places and showed them to Zhang Cheng. Zhang Cheng didn't realize it at first, but after thinking about it for a long time, he figured out the key points. He was sweating profusely, "My lord, this..."

Mu Xu motioned him not to talk too much, and asked him, "Did these files ever be presented to the Supreme Emperor?"

Zhang Cheng wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and explained, "No, because according to the rules, the embroidered clothes guards are not allowed to spy on the prince." After thinking for a while, he said, "Although I was only a hundred households back then, I am sure that Liao Chang, the former commander, must have sent someone to investigate it privately, and if he submits it, his head will definitely be lost."

"My lord, what should I do now, can I destroy it?"

Seeing him trembling with fright, Mu Xu stood up, patted his shoulder, and comforted him with a smile, "What are you afraid of? This is the responsibility of the former commander. It has nothing to do with you. Besides, don't you still have me?"

After speaking, he took the file and walked out, Zhang Cheng hurriedly followed up and asked, "Do you want it, my lord?"

Mu Xu nodded, "Of course, this matter must be handed over to the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor." Without waiting for Zhang Cheng to persuade him, he said firmly, "You don't need to worry about this matter, I have my own discretion."

After leaving Beizhen Fusi, Mu Xu went straight to the palace to see Emperor Jiading without delay.

Emperor Jiading was dealing with the memorial, and when he heard that Mu Xu was coming, he didn't care, so he was announced to come in.

After Mu Xu went in to greet Emperor Jiading, Emperor Jiading laughed and joked, "Didn't you just get reprimanded by the Supreme Emperor yesterday? Why did you come to see me again today? I can't decide this for you."

Mu Xu smiled wryly, "How dare you let His Majesty decide on this matter, it's really a big discovery, let's report it to His Majesty."

Only then did Emperor Jiading become serious, "Speak carefully." Mu Xu also ignored the impoliteness, got up and came to the imperial table, and pointed out the suspicious parts of the two files to Emperor Jiading one by one.

Emperor Jiading didn't understand what it meant at first, and then his eyes widened in surprise, "How did you find out?"

Mu Xu replied, "In the past few days, I have sent people to sort out the past files. I discovered it by accident. I dare not be self-reliant. As soon as I found out about it, I immediately reported it to Your Majesty."

Emperor Jiading frowned, "Who else knows about this?"

Mu Xu replied, "Only Weichen and Xiuyi Weichen Zhang Cheng." He understood Emperor Jiading's concerns in his heart, and this incident would be a huge royal scandal.

Upon hearing Mu Xu's words, Emperor Jiading heaved a sigh of relief, "Then tell me how to deal with this matter?"

Mu Xu understood that Emperor Jiading wanted to hide this matter, but since he exposed it, it was not for the purpose of concealing it, so he said immediately, "This matter may not be a bad thing for His Majesty. It’s just a woman, your majesty might as well make her a princess, this will not only show your majesty’s love for your niece, but also show your majesty’s magnanimity, some people must also know that your majesty has no heart to settle accounts after the autumn, and they will naturally know who to turn to in the future .”

Seeing that Emperor Jiading nodded slightly, he continued, "As for the identity of Qin's mother, it is said that her mother was a court lady who made a mistake and was kicked out of the palace. I didn't want her to be pregnant before she left the palace. Now Your Majesty knows Naturally, this matter cannot be ignored, and I don't think anyone would be so ignorant to explore the identity of her mother."

Emperor Jiading pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Do you think my nephew knows about this?"

Mu Xu said solemnly, "Your Majesty, let him pretend that he doesn't know. Presumably, he will be grateful to His Majesty for finding his long-lost sister for him."

Emperor Jiading laughed loudly, "That's right, I think he will be grateful to me." He stood up and walked out of the hall, "Come on, follow me to the Dragon Head Palace and tell Father about the happy event." Mu Xu and Wang An hurriedly followed.

The three of them came to Longshou Palace to make an announcement, and Dai Quan came out after a while. He first greeted Emperor Jiading, and then nodded to Mu Xu, "Your Majesty, son, the Supreme Emperor orders you to enter."

Mu Xu followed Emperor Jiading, followed Dai Quan into the Longshou Palace, passed by the Chuigong Hall, and walked through a corridor to a quiet room.The two were waiting outside, Dai Quan went in to report, and after a while, a fairy-like old man came out of the door, he gave the two of them a check, and left directly.Then Dai Quan came out, "The Supreme Emperor let His Majesty and His Royal Highness go in."

The two walked in, and saw that it was dark inside, the windows were closed, only a few candles were lit, and there was a smell of sandalwood from the incense burner in the center of the room. Meditate with your legs crossed.

Dai Quanqing stepped forward and lit the lamps on both sides, and the room was brightened up.Then Dai Quan lightly picked up a chair and sent it to Emperor Jiading. Emperor Jiading waved his hand, and Dai Quan stepped back with the chair.

Several people stood silently for a moment, the Supreme Emperor let out a long sigh of relief, and slowly recuperated.Then he opened his eyes and looked at the two of them, "Why are you here?"

The two saluted quickly, and waited for the Supreme Emperor to flatten the two of them, Emperor Jiading got up and stepped forward, pointed out the pages of the dossier to the Supreme Emperor, said a few words in a low voice, and then retreated.

The Supreme Emperor looked at it quietly for a while, and suddenly burst into anger, "This is useless thing. And Liao Chang, a bastard who deserves to die ten thousand times." He stood up, without shoes, and walked on the steps, After a long time, he cursed again, "Jia Jing and that Qin Ye deserve to die, for hiding such a big matter until now."

Emperor Jiading saw that the Supreme Emperor was so angry that his chest kept heaving, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, "Father, please calm down, your dragon body is the first."

Taishanghuang waited for his breath to calm down, and walked to the edge of the steps. Dai Quan hurried forward, knelt down and put the dragon boots on him.

After putting on the boots, the Supreme Emperor came to the two of them, calmed down, and asked lightly, "Emperor, tell me about this matter, how to deal with it."

　Some friends felt that if Qin Keqing was of royal blood, Jia Zhen would not dare to do that.In fact, many people have the illusion that a woman with royal blood must be very good.In fact, it is wrong, and it was indeed true in the Han Dynasty or Tang Dynasty.But after the Song Dynasty, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism emerged, and the high status of royal women did not mean good treatment.The princesses and clan women of the Ming Dynasty were cheated into marriages and became widows, oppressed by eunuchs and nuns, and many were forced to death.
