After interpenetrating with Lord Hou, he became addicted to house fighting

The search for the residences of these officials did not go very smoothly. One official's residence was even set on fire. By the time the Dali Temple investigators rushed over, the fire was already in flames. After it was extinguished, not to mention the people in the house. All wasted.

Therefore, it is difficult to say whether those officials committed suicide out of fear of guilt or were silenced.

In order for the case to continue to be tried, Hu Qingshan announced that he had found nothing, but in fact he still got some clues.

In view of this, he no longer dared to investigate in a big way, and specifically asked Emperor Wenchang for instructions, and the trial of the case changed from open to cover.

The death cases of those officials were taken over by Feng Tianshu.

Chu Yin frowned lightly, "Are there any useful clues from the eldest princess?"

“Yes,” Ling Dong said, “it’s the news from General Yu, saying that there have been some changes in the Royal Court of Northern Qi recently. King Zhang Ping, who was originally secretive, suddenly launched a palace coup and took the throne.

"The first thing he did after taking office was to bloodbath the royal family. Except for his branch, all the royal family, including those who were still in their infancy, and... those who had not yet been born, were all killed."

Chu Yin felt a strong sense of discomfort in his heart. This method was too cruel!

Ling Dong also adjusted his mood before continuing: "These things were originally blocked by King Zhang Ping. It was not until he secured the throne that he announced that the royal court had encountered a plague and that all members of the royal family were not spared.

"Any official in the Northern Qi Dynasty who had any objections or dissatisfaction would either change his mind after being interviewed by him, or he would resign on his own initiative.

"So, the Northern Qi court has become the sole proprietor of King Zhang Ping.

"Because we have signed a peace treaty with Dazhou before, it is equivalent to our vassal state, so King Zhangping has not officially proclaimed himself emperor, and he has already planned to submit his credentials to Dazhou.

“But before that, both Donglin and Xirong had sent people to contact King Zhangping.

"Prince Zhangping was originally the half-brother of the old Northern Qi Emperor. Because he was jealous of the old emperor, he was banished to the most barren place.

"General Yu sent people to investigate and found out that iron ore was discovered in King Zhangping's fiefdom, and the mineral reserves are still very large."

If there is iron ore, there will be no need to worry about weapons.

With iron, you can exchange all the resources you want with others.

But King Zhangping must have had deep resentment towards the royal court, otherwise he would not have taken such extreme measures.

Liandong said: "After receiving the news, General Yu contacted the troops stationed in the border areas to strengthen patrols and reported to the court. On the other hand, he also secretly wrote a letter to the Marquis."

Afraid that Chu Yin would be overly concerned, she also added a special sentence: "General Yu always believed that he was the old subordinate of the Marquis, and the Marquis had rich experience in fighting against the Northern Qi Dynasty. She wanted to ask the Marquis whether the Northern Qi Dynasty would defeat the Zhou Dynasty again. Wage war."

Chu Yin smiled faintly, "I know. If King Zhang Ping was not a fool, he would not start a war in a short period of time.

"Although he killed all the members of the Northern Qi royal family and apparently controlled the Northern Qi court, this does not mean that he can really secure the throne.

"Furthermore, after the previous wars, Northern Qi's combat power was reduced to ten percent. For him to launch a war at this time is tantamount to self-destruction.

“The most likely possibility is that although he treated the royal family and court officials harshly, he would treat the people of Northern Qi with gentleness.

"Not only will he not launch a war against Da Zhou, but he will also make good friends with Da Zhou in order to give Northern Qi a chance to rest and recuperate."
