Chapter 109 The Real Reason
"What good news? Tell me quickly!" Concubine Tang ordered impatiently.

The rest of the concubines also looked at the little eunuch expectantly.

Little eunuch: "Didn't the master tell the slaves to keep an eye on the movements of the Palace of Preservation, and to come and report immediately whenever there is something about His Highness?"

"Get to the point!" Concubine Tang urged anxiously.

The little eunuch immediately brought up the important point, "I have a little brother who works in the Palace of Preserving Harmony. I heard from him that during the court this morning, I faintly heard the Dali Temple Secretary and Wu Zuo mention the cause of Du Tianqing's death, saying that the result has already been settled."

Concubine Tang: "What is the result?"

"The slave immediately came to report the news to you young masters. I don't know the exact result, but one thing is certain, that is, Du Tianqing's death has nothing to do with His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Hearing this, all the concubines present were happy.

"That's good!" Concubine Tang rewarded the eunuch's money, and also ordered: "You take some more money to find your little brother, and if you have any specific news, come back and report it!"

"Yes." The little eunuch received the reward, and immediately went to work again.

Although it is said that concubines in the harem are not allowed to interfere in government affairs, let alone the concubines in the emperor's harem, they are still concubines in the Eastern Palace. Since they live in the palace, there is no such thing as non-interference in government affairs.

After all, throughout the ages, the front and back palaces have been inextricably linked, and very few people can really do this.

It is not easy for someone like Concubine Tang to inquire about the prince's favorable news.

I heard that those concubines of Emperor Jianyuan not only inquired about the emperor, but also wrote letters to her natal family, interfering in the government affairs!

After the little eunuch left, the concubines present changed from listless, and all of them were beaming.

Concubine Tang: "Since His Royal Highness is fine, I have a few more important things to say."

Jiang Shishi raised her head and glanced at Tang's side concubine, who changed her melancholy expression.

When he looked at the crowd, his eyes were no longer kind, and he looked a little like a palace fight.

**
In the Hall of Preserving Harmony, civil and military officials are attending court.

At this moment, the priest of Dali Temple is explaining the cause of Du Tianqing's death.

Wu Zuo: "Your Majesty, according to the findings of the ministers and others, the deceased Du Tianqing did not return to the mansion on the day of the incident, but has been hiding in the Ministry of Rites."

"As for Du Tianqing's study, there is a cabinet with a man's footprint in it. According to our inspection, it is Du Tianqing's footprint. From this, it can be inferred that the deceased was hiding in the cabinet that day."

Emperor Jianyuan looked at Wu Zuo and listened very intently.

Wu Zuo: "In addition, there were no strangulation marks, wounds, or any traces of fighting or struggling on the body of the deceased. According to Weichen's investigation, the deceased knew how to water when he was alive."

"Then, in the absence of any traces of the deceased's body and the fact that he was able to swim, but drowning occurred, we can rule out homicide and conclude that it was suicide."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall.

Immediately afterwards, Kang Wang questioned.

"Goddamn suicide!" King Kang said violently, "Your Dali Temple has been investigating for these days, and the result is that it is suicide? In this way, even if the murderer cannot be found, it can be dismissed, right?"

If the crown prince doesn't take charge of the Ministry of Rites, he intends to bribe his way through this imperial examination, so as to recruit more disciples to become officials in the imperial court, for his own convenience, and to strengthen the Kangwang party!

But if the imperial examination is still under the control of the prince, let alone the prince is upright and rigorous.

The key is that he and the prince are not in the same camp, the prince will only manage it more strictly!
"Our Dali Temple has always been fair and strict in handling cases. In the past few days, we have been investigating the case day and night. His Royal Highness Kang Wang has nothing to say. It is too deceiving to question us!" Dali Temple Minister Wei Changjian was not happy. .

"Just say that the deceased committed suicide, but this is the case that has not been investigated day and night? Is this still fair and strict? Tch!" King Kang sneered at this.

"You" would have jumped up and cursed if it wasn't for the fact that King Kang is a prince.

"Wei Aiqing handles the case, I have always trusted it!" Wei Changjian usually only listens to Emperor Jianyuan and does not attach to any party.

Since Wei Changjian said that Du Tianqing committed suicide, Emperor Jianyuan believed it, and he reprimanded Kang Wang with a straight face: "Second brother, hurry up and apologize to Mr. Wei!"

Being reprimanded by Emperor Jianyuan, Kang Wang suppressed his dissatisfaction, and bowed to Wei Changjian, "Master Wei, this king is too concerned about the lives of court officials, and was reckless for a while. I apologize to you here."

Hearing this, Wei Changjian bowed in response, "His Royal Highness Kang Wang's temperament is too reckless, it is better to change it in the future."

Kang Wang turned his head and ignored Wei Changjian.

This king gave you face because of your father's face, you really take yourself seriously, teaching me how to do things here?

Since Emperor Jianyuan and Wei Changjian both said that Du Tianqing committed suicide, everyone stopped discussing this and began to discuss why Du Tianqing committed suicide.

"Excellent, why did Du Tianqing commit suicide?"

"Who knows, I must have encountered something unsatisfactory and committed suicide because I couldn't figure it out for a while."

"I've heard that on the day Du Tianqing committed suicide, he was kicked out by the prince in public. He probably felt ashamed."

so and so
Fan Songkang: "You only heard that Du Tianqing was kicked out by His Royal Highness, but do you know why he was kicked out?"

Seeing the doubts on everyone's faces, Fan Songkang spoke for the crown prince, "That's because he deliberately targeted His Highness the crown prince over and over again when discussing matters in the Ministry of Rites."

Some officials questioned, "Are you sure it's a deliberate target? It's not a normal difference of opinion?"

Fan Songkang: "Every time His Highness the Crown Prince speaks, Du Tianqing will object. Even if he supported Lord Song Fu Song one moment, the next moment he hears that the Crown Prince agrees, he immediately turns his back and refute. Does this seem to be a difference of opinion?"

Seeing that no one raised any objections, Fan Songkang continued.

"Such a rude person, obviously he was at fault in the first place. If he committed suicide just because he was forked out, then his heart would be too fragile. Besides, it's not that Du Tianqing was reprimanded by Lord Shangshu and Lord Assistant Minister in the Ministry of Rites. There has never been a suicide.”

"There is one thing. Du Tianqing is a smooth and sophisticated person. He has never targeted the prince in public before, but that day he was uncharacteristically and frequently raised objections to the prince."

Speaking of this, he raised the board in his hand to Emperor Jianyuan, "Your Majesty, I suspect that Du Tianqing was ordered by someone, so he targeted the prince. As for the real reason for his suicide, it may be that he was forced to death by the person who ordered him behind the scenes." of!"

"." Hearing this, Emperor Jianyuan looked down at the civil and military ministers and princes at the head of the hall.

His sophisticated eyes swept sharply over the faces of King Kang and the others, King Mu and the others.

Facing such a pair of experienced eyes that can see through everything, everyone lowered their heads and lowered their eyes, not daring to look at them.

Especially King Huai, looking down at the ground, dripping with cold sweat.

After a few breaths, the thick and majestic voice of Emperor Jianyuan came from above.
