Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

Some people actually said that King Cheng's death was caused by someone, and this person was the popular man in front of the emperor, Li Yancheng, who held the capital camp.

Regardless of how Li Yancheng, who was currently busy with military affairs, could be thousands of miles away and sent people to kill a vassal king who had nothing to do with him and had no grievances.

However, the rumors among the people continued and even spread to other vassals, which made Jiang Yi's brothers feel frightened, and they wrote to Zhezi one after another to request a strict investigation into the matter.

Jiang Yi originally planned to strictly investigate the cause of King Cheng's death. With such strong public opinion and the fact that he had to worry about other vassal kings, he specifically mentioned this matter to him this morning.

"My dear friends, who can take charge of the vassal territory, find out the cause of King Cheng's death, and apprehend the murderer?"

Jiang Yidian sat on the high throne, throwing the memorials of the kings of Han and Chu on the purple wood table with auspicious dragons carved on the four corners.

He looked around at His Highness's ministers with a cold light in his eyes. Now he had a more calm and confident aura.

The reason why he raised this matter in the morning meeting was, on the one hand, to prepare the courtiers, and on the other hand, to test the attitude of the courtiers.

Jiang Yi saw at a glance the most deadly and sharp-edged part of those rumors - the person who assassinated Cheng Wen.

This person could be an lord of the court who had a disagreement, or someone from another vassal that King Cheng had offended. Even if it was Jiang Yi himself, there was still logic to rely on in all of this.

But all the rumors about the assassination of King Cheng in the countryside of the government and the public pointed directly at Li Yancheng as the murderer.

This made Jiang Yi feel frightened and frightened.

The people behind this are really vicious.

With this move, he was not trying to sow discord between Jiang Yi and his brothers, but to cut off Jiang Yi's hands.

Everyone knows that Li Yancheng is now the commander of the Beijing camp and is one of Jiang Yi's most trusted people.Moreover, he is also one of the few people in the army that Jiang Yi can trust.

Everyone can see that Li Yancheng will never be the murderer of Cheng Wang's case.

But public opinion is boiling, and all public opinions are pointing at Li Yancheng.This not only forces Jiang Yi to make a choice, but it probably also has a back-up that he has to guard against, right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yi's face became even more ugly. He clenched his hands into fists and covered them under his long sleeves.

The courtiers were talking quietly to His Highness, whispering to each other, and discussing.

Even though His Majesty has already opened his mouth, originally, they should share His Majesty's worries.

But this is really a hot potato. This matter is not only a national matter, but also involves the royal family.

In the past, even adults who were eager for success and profit now had to weigh their own weight.

There was a lot of discussion in the court for a while, but no one took the initiative to ask for help, and most people avoided it for fear of getting angry.

It is said that the assassin who attacked King Cheng had already committed suicide by taking poison after the incident, leaving no clues behind.

Princess Cheng is pregnant, and now she is so frightened that she almost can't help but become the only selfish one.Fortunately, the doctor in the mansion was able to rejuvenate her.

But what if something goes wrong with Princess Cheng again, or in other words, His Majesty sees that the situation is not good and uses her as the scapegoat?
No matter how you look at it, going to Chengzhou to investigate the case is not a good job.

Among the ministers, only officials from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple were the most worried.

Because generally, such cases will inevitably have to go through three sessions of trial in the end.Moreover, investigating such cases has always been the main responsibility of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.

Although His Majesty has not decided on the final candidate for this matter, if no one is willing to take on this hard job, it is very likely that this hot potato will be placed in their hands.The ministers were trembling with fear. You looked at me and I looked at you, for fear of being named by His Majesty to deal with this difficult matter.

Jiang Yi held his head with one hand, feeling that his head was becoming dizzy because of this incident, his whole mind was disturbed, and his anger was rising.

Seeing such a situation, he couldn't help but frown, feeling extremely dissatisfied and panicked in his heart.

"No one is willing to recommend themselves?"

Jiang Yi's tone was a bit harsher and colder, because he was usually very kind and kind to others, and even to those ministers who had ulterior motives, he was always comforting and very popular.

Now that he was really upset by this incident, his performance also made His Highness's ministers feel trembling, and their fear of imperial power could not help but deepen.

However, all the officials in the palace were prostrate on the ground, but still no one dared to recommend themselves in front of the palace to deal with this matter.

Jiang Yi rubbed his brows, his face was slightly cold, but now he looked quite majestic in front of everyone.

"Since the ministers are lazy..."

Jiang Yi said this very seriously, with a strong emphasis on his words, and a look of worry on his face.

"Then let's leave this matter to Dali Temple and send people to the feudal territory for the time being..."

Seeing that the final hard work still fell to Dali Temple, the minister of Dali Temple had no choice but to walk through the crowd into the hall with a grimace to pay homage and receive the decree.The old Dali Temple Minister's face was pale, and tears could not help but leak from his forehead. He staggered and knelt down and said: "I accept the order."

One thing in front of him has been settled. Jiang Yi had no intention of being in the court because of his brother's death, so he immediately withdrew from the court.This was one of the rare times when Jiang Yi would lose face to these ministers.

Jiang Yi has a very deep relationship with his brothers.

The late emperor only had seven princes and three princesses in total, and only ten heirs in total.

Now that King Wen had entered the fiefdom early, he had no correspondence with Jiang Yi at all. As for the monthly memorials, Jiang Yi knew at a glance that someone had ghostwritten them.King Wen's handwriting was extremely erratic. Jiang Yi spent a lot of time in the study in front of the late emperor, courtiers, and princes and masters, comparing himself with King Wen.

How is King Wen's handwriting?Jiang Yi can tell the truth at a glance.

He knew in his heart that King Wen resented him and his father.He also knew that what King Wen wanted to get was the throne that he could never let go...

Even though King Wen was his elder brother, for many years, they were more like rivals, or birds being compared.

After the news about becoming a king came out, Jiang Yi wrote a handwritten letter to each of his brothers.But when he wrote to King Wen, Jiang Yi didn't know what to say.

After all, he knew King Wen. If he didn't take this opportunity to cause some trouble, he would not be the proud King Wen.

Except for King Wen, there are not many princes and princesses.

Princess Anhe, his second sister passed away a year ago.

As for the seventh prince, he died in his hands.

Under such circumstances, I am afraid that after the assassination of King Cheng, the princes of the clan will be trembling and unable to relax.

This is also the situation that Jiang Yi is most worried about.
