Concubine

Chapter 469

Yang Qiuchi bowed and said: "After I found out that the second prince's privately recruited soldiers were training in Xingziao's secret camp outside the city, I immediately sent spies in disguise to investigate. I found out that the second prince came out of the camp and went to Ji Gang's mansion. I suspected that Ji Gang had something to do with this Regarding the matter, we sent the concubine Liu Shi to infiltrate the Ji Mansion to investigate, and found a huge warehouse in the back garden of Ji Gang, which was full of weapons, bows and arrows, etc., enough to equip 2 people."

Ming Chengzu already knew that Yang Qiuchi's concubine, Liu's family, had superb martial arts. The information she heard must be correct, and his face was very ugly. He has been a soldier all his life, and he knows military operations well. After hearing Yang Qiuchi's words, he immediately understood , said to himself: "Ji Gang's mansion is not far from the imperial city, and a large number of weapons are hidden in his house. Tens of thousands of people in Xingzi'ao scattered into the city, equipped with weapons at Ji Gang's house, and they can act. There are more than 3 Tiance Guards, and tens of thousands of Jinyi Guards under Ji Gang, a total of nearly [-] people. If you act quickly, it is enough to control the entire imperial city. Humph!"

Yang Qiuchi advances by retreating: "Originally, I supported the crown prince and supported the emperor's appointment as the grandson of the emperor. However, after I found out about this matter, I was worried that the two princes would compete for the crown prince, which would lead to a change in the Xuanwu Gate. The second prince will threaten the emperor to abdicate. At the same time, if the emperor appoints the emperor's grandson, even if the second prince does not act now, there is no guarantee that a new battle of Jingnan will be launched in the future to seize the country from the emperor's grandson. Therefore, for the sake of the country and the country Considering this, I have no choice but to agree to change the second prince to be the crown prince."

It is absolutely impossible for Ming Chengzu's hero to be coerced by others. Now that he knows that the second prince is backed by force, he tries to usurp the crown prince and even force himself to abdicate. With his character, he will never submit to coercion.

Therefore, what Yang Qiuchi said made Ming Chengzu finally make up his mind. If the second prince and Ji Gang really want to rebel and force him to take the throne, they must be resolutely suppressed. However, these are just Yang Qiuchi's one-sided words, so Ming Chengzu can't make a decision yet.

Yang Qiuchi saw this, bowed and said: "Long live, I have a plan to expose the conspiracy of the second prince and Ji Gang, and the emperor will know that what I said is true."

"What plan?"

Yang Qiuchi said in detail, Ming Chengzu frowned, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I will send Old Li tou and you to check the matter first, if it is true, I will act according to your plan. If it is found out that they really want to rebel, I will give you an official promotion, otherwise, I will punish you for deceiving the emperor!"

"Weichen understands!" Yang Qiuchi thought for a while, and now that this matter has been said, the matter of Xiunv was also said, and he said: "Your Majesty, there is another matter about Ji Gang, which I have already known, but I just don't know it." Dare to report."

"Tell me!" Once the fact that Ji Gang and the second prince Zhu Gaoxu conspired against each other is confirmed, of course all his crimes must be investigated.

"For this selection of beautiful women, the beautiful women selected from all over the country were sent to him for him to make the final decision. Ji Gang used his power for personal gain, and arbitrarily selected seven of the most beautiful women, and kept them for his own use."

"What?" Ming Chengzu was furious, and slapped the armrest of the couch heavily.

If Ji Gang's rebellion was just a political struggle, just a matter of being vigilant and severely cracked down on, but Ji Gang kept Ming Chengzu's women for his own use.For this kind of thing, as long as it is a man, there is no one who does not fly into a rage, not to mention that he is the emperor who rules the world and holds the power of life and death.

Yang Qiuchi said: "This is what Weichen's concubine, Liu Shi, infiltrated into the Ji Mansion to investigate. Two of them are beautiful women selected by Weichen Ying Tianfu. Yu Weichen's two beautiful concubines were unexpectedly detained by Ji Gang."

Ming Chengzu heard Yang Qiuchi say that these two women were more beautiful than Hong Ling and Liu Ruobing, but such a beautiful woman was detained by Ji Gang, and his face turned green with anger.However, he was not a reckless person, and decided to conduct a preliminary verification before making a decision.

The ancestors of Ming Cheng sent Eunuch Li to follow Yang Qiuchi and others to Xingziao to verify the secret camp of the second prince, and then took the roster of Yingtianfu's beautiful girls, and went back to the palace to check with the female officer in charge of the selection of beautiful girls to enter the palace. Sure enough, there were no two stunning beauties selected by Yang Qiuchi Yingtianfu.After reporting to Ming Chengzu, Ming Chengzu confirmed that what Yang Qiuchi said was true.Decided to follow Yang Qiuchi's plan.

That afternoon, Ming Chengzu brought Yang Qiuchi, Liu Ruobing, and Song Yun'er, surrounded by eunuchs and court ladies, and suddenly arrived at Ji Gang's mansion.

When Ji Gang saw the emperor coming suddenly with Yang Qiuchi, he couldn't help but turn pale with fright, and cried out inwardly.He hurriedly took his nephew out of the door and welcomed the emperor into the living room.

Ming Chengzu said coldly: "Ji Aiqing, I heard that you have adopted seven new beauties, all of them are as beautiful as flowers, can you let me see them?"

Ji Gang broke out in cold sweat immediately, and Ming Chengzu explained seven points directly. Obviously, he knew the matter well. Can't hide it.

Ji Gang reacted quickly, and immediately thought of a countermeasure, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said: "My minister complies with the order, these seven women are my minister..., this minister selected from among the eliminated beautiful girls to be maids in the house, Without the permission of the emperor, I ask the emperor to punish me."

According to the rules of the draft, Ji Gangyao will eliminate a group of girls selected from all over the country according to a certain ratio, and then send the selected girls to the palace.Therefore, Ji Gang said that he chose the most beautiful ones and kept them for himself, saying that he chose some of the eliminated beautiful women and kept them for his own use.

Ming Chengzu smiled coldly: "Oh? Unselected show girls? That's good, call them out and let me have a look."

Ji Gang agreed, winked at his nephew Ji Piao, and ordered Ji Piao to bring someone.

After a while, the seven girls came, although they were very juicy, but they were not beautiful, let alone beautiful.Yang Qiuchi looked at Liu Ruobing, only to see that she shook her head slightly, Yang Qiuchi immediately understood that Ji Gang had come up with a move by Li Daitao to stiffen.

Yang Qiuchi then shook his head slightly to Ming Chengzu.

Ming Chengzu snorted heavily: "Ji Aiqing, what kind of trick are you playing, are these seven girls really beautiful girls?"

"It is true that they are undrafted girls. The emperor can check their selection files."

Seeing that Ji Gang's face didn't change color, Yang Qiuchi immediately understood that Ji Gang had already guarded against this move. He not only detained the seven stunning beauties, but also selected some of the eliminated beautiful women to keep people's eyes and ears. Sly.

Ming Chengzu glanced at Yang Qiuchi.Yang Qiuchi came forward and reported: "Long live, in this draft of Weichen Yingtianfu, two stunning beauties were sent to Commander Ji's mansion for candidates, but Weichen checked the files of the women who were selected and sent to Gongxiu, and there was no such thing. There are two of them, and there are no such two among the outstanding girls who were rejected and returned. I also ask Commander Ji to explain, otherwise, I don’t know how to explain to his family.”

Ji Gang said angrily: "Master Yang, are you investigating me? Do you know that the emperor strictly forbids you and me to fight in the nest, and you are resisting and not obeying the order!"

Yang Qiuchi said lightly: "This is the official's duty to the Tianfu. They handed over the girl to me. I can't lose it, right? I will send the person to you, and you will neither send it to the palace nor return it. There must be an explanation for returning the family to the official, I am afraid this is not an investigation of you!"

Ming Chengzu nodded: "That doesn't count, Ji Aiqing, where did these two go?"

Ji Gang was caught and hurt his feet. It is impossible not to admit it. When Dong Fucheng of Yingtian Mansion sent people here, he handed over them. The roster was clear, and the people who were sent to the palace were clearly those. People, these two people disappeared in his house, and they couldn't be blamed if they wanted to.

Ji Gang rolled his eyes, and hurriedly reported to Ming Chengzu: "Wei Chen also left some undrafted girls, maybe these two are among them."

Ming Chengzu snorted and said coldly: "Ji Aiqing, I want you to call all the beautiful girls you left behind. I want to have a look at them one by one!"

Ji Gang agreed, and was about to leave when Yang Qiuchi added behind him: "Master Ji, how many beautiful girls you have left behind, you can find out the rosters that were selected from various places, the rosters that were selected into the palace, and the rosters that were returned. Don't miss it!"

Ji Gang paused, turned around slowly, smiled and said to Yang Qiuchi: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for reminding me! I will remember it!" Then, he turned and went out the door.

After a while, Ji Gang led more than 30 women into the living room and stood in several rows. Ming Chengzu got up and walked slowly in a square step, examining each one carefully. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he saw two stunning beauties. Sure enough, the beauty of the country, the beauty of the country, the beauty of the city, is not much inferior to Liu Ruobing and Hong Ling.Unable to be overjoyed, he pulled out one by one with each hand, looked around non-stop, and asked softly.The two women knew that the person in front of them was the emperor, and it was their greatest wish to be favored by the emperor.Shyly answered the emperor's question.

After Ming Chengzu had a conversation with the two beauties, he turned to Ji Gang and said, "Ji Aiqing, is this the unselected beauty you mentioned?"

Ji Gang looked terrified, knelt down and kowtowed: "I have poor eyesight, I don't know that these two girls can be loved by the emperor, I deserve death."

Ming Chengzu snorted heavily: "Since Ji Aiqing was rejected because of her mediocre appearance, Ji Aiqing stayed for her own use, hmph! Sure enough, her eyesight is really stupid!"

Ji Gang kowtowed again and again: "This humble official deserves to die! Please the emperor give me the punishment."

Ming Chengzu ignored him, and continued to look at the beauties behind him, and soon found five other beauties, and they were also selected, and then he sneered at Ji Gang: "Ji Aiqing, I want to bring these seven women into the palace Go, what do you think?"

Ji Gang heard that Ming Chengzu was suppressing his anger, and he couldn't help being even more frightened, knocking his head on the floor with a loud bang.

Ming Chengzu's face was ashen, and he was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly found Yang Qiuchi staring straight at the seven women, a little displeased, and said, "Yang Aiqing, what are you looking at?" Here you go, my woman, you've lost your mind, what are you doing!
Only then did Yang Qiuchi come back to his senses, and said: "Long live, I'm looking at the ribbons on their clothes, I wonder if I can show them."

It was only then that Ming Chengzu realized that Yang Qiuchi didn't move his women's mind, but found something strange about the ribbons on these women, so he hummed.

Yang Qiuchi asked Song Yuner to untie a ribbon, held it in her hand, looked at it repeatedly for a while, and asked, "Master Ji, how did this ribbon come from?"

Ming Chengzu came over to take a look, and said: "This is a tribute from North Korea, which is only available in the imperial palace. Last time Ji Aiqing made a great contribution, and I rewarded him some."

Yang Qiuchi pondered for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, can this ribbon be given to this humble minister?"

"Okay, if Yang Aiqing likes it, I will give you some bundles."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Leaving Ji's mansion, Ming Chengzu was about to get on the huagai sedan chair to bring seven beauties back to the palace, Yang Qiuchi bowed and said: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the emperor's dragon body and health, I have something to report."

When Ming Chengzu saw these seven beauties, his heart was already itchy. Hearing that Yang Qiuchi was still so wordy, he was a little impatient: "What's the matter? Tell me."

"The emperor can't let the seven maids sleep tonight."

"Why?" Ming Chengzu frowned.

Yang Qiuchi bowed and said: "If this minister guessed correctly, these seven girls should have already contracted the disease!"

"Ah!" Ming Chengzu was shocked, and asked sullenly, "Where did Aiqing start with this statement?"

Yang Qiuchi took out the ribbon just now, and said: "I found that the silk thread of this ribbon is the same as the silk thread wrapped around the handle of the dagger on the corpse of Xue Dudu's concubine! In the capital, there are only the imperial palace and Ji Gang's mansion. There is such a ribbon on it."

Ming Chengzu's expression was still ugly: "Do you suspect that the murderer is someone from the Ji family?"

"This official suspects that the murderer is Ji Gang's nephew Ji Mi!"

Ming Chengzu snorted: "Only with this ribbon?"

"Not only that, when Wei Chen was investigating the scene where Xue Dudu's concubine was killed, he found that there were traces of Hualiu disease in the semen spots left behind at the scene. It is suspected that the murderer suffered from Hualiu disease. These beauties were kept by Uncle Ji Gang for so many days. I'm afraid it has been defiled by the two, if Ji Piao is really the murderer, then Ji Piao must have a willow disease, and thus infected several beauties."

Ming Chengzu frowned, and luckily said: "Perhaps, he has already been cured."

"It's possible, but it's also possible that it hasn't been cured. For the sake of the emperor's dragon body, it's better to ask the imperial physician to make a diagnosis first."

"What if it's infected?"

"These seven women who were selected for the draft have all been tested by Wen Po. They are virgins and have no diseases, and they are not likely to have the disease. If the seven women are infected, there is only one possibility, that is, they contracted it in Jifu. It proves that Ji Mi is suffering from Hualiu, thus confirming that Ji Mi is the real murderer of Xue Dudu's concubine. In addition, there are two circumstantial evidences to support it."

"What circumstantial evidence?"

"First, Weichen found the fingerprints of the policeman who participated in the scene investigation on the dagger, but did not find the fingerprints of the murderer. Weichen suspected that the murderer was wearing gloves. Last time in the execution ground, Ji Mi once Wearing a pair of gloves that can protect against swords, I fought against Song Shi, my concubine, and based on today's discovery, Wei Chen is convinced that Ji Mi was wearing gloves and killed Dudu Xue's concubine, so he didn't leave any fingerprints."

Ming Chengzu nodded. He originally wanted to ask how he found out that it was the handprint of the policeman, but now he has no doubts about Yang Qiuchi's ability to solve the case. asked.

Yang Qiuchi then continued: "The second thing... is that I need to verify that the semen spot left on the scene is Ji Piao's." Yang Qiuchi thought, in fact, it should be expressed as checking the semen Is Madara's blood type the same as Ji Mi's?However, this blood type is too modern to explain.

Ming Chengzu didn't bother to ask Yang Qiuchi how to verify, anyway, he believed that he had a way, frowned and said: "So, Ji Piao is the real murderer?"

"If the imperial physician finds that these seven beauties are infected with willow disease, and Weichen verifies that the semen spot on the spot is Ji Mi's, then it can be confirmed."

"Okay, you follow me into the palace, and immediately ask the imperial physician to examine them! You also immediately conduct the examination."

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly asked Song Yuner whether the willow leaf dart that Liu Ruobing shot at Ji Yu in Beizhen Fusi that day was still there, Song Yuner said that Liu Ruobing told her to throw it away, and she had already thrown it in the trash.

Yang Qiuchi told Ming Chengzu that he would go back first, and Ming Chengzu asked him to enter the palace immediately after finishing his work.Then he drove back to the palace.

Yang Qiuchi hurried back with his guards to look for it. Fortunately, within a few days, the trash hadn't been emptied yet, so he found it smoothly.Yang Qiuchi extracted the bloodstains on the flying knife, and after inspection, it was indeed type A, which was the same blood type as the blood spot on the scene.The conjecture has been verified, so let's look at the test of the seven beauties.

Yang Qiuchi entered the palace with his entourage, and the imperial doctor had already conducted an examination. Sure enough, five of the seven beauties were infected with the willow disease, only the two most beautiful women sent by Yingtianfu by Yang Qiuchi were not infected.

Apparently, Ji Gang gave those five to Ji Piao, and kept the two most beautiful ones for himself, and didn't give them to Ji Piao, so he escaped by luck.Even so, Ming Chengzu was so angry that he was about to send someone to arrest Ji Mio and execute him immediately, but Yang Qiuchi stopped him, and reported that in order to prevent surprise, he should live for a few more days.

Ming Chengzu ordered the imperial physician to treat the seven beauties, and then passed the news that Xue Lu, the governor of the five armies' governor's mansion, entered the palace to discuss matters.

After discussing the countermeasures, Yang Qiuchi told the story of how Dudu Xue's concubine was murdered. When Xue Lu heard that it was Ji Gang's nephew Ji Piao who raped and killed his concubine, he was even more indignant.He almost raised his knife to kill Ji Mi.

But there is one thing that Yang Qiuchi still hasn't figured out, that is, whether Ji Piao was the murderer who hacked to death the two maids, it is still uncertain, and it is also unknown where the murder weapon with the gap is.Only when Ji Piao is captured and interrogated can he find out.

In the early morning of the next day, Ming Chengzu informed the prince Zhu Gaochi, the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji, the second prince Zhu Gaoxu and the stunned third prince Zhu Gaosui all participated, and he wanted to make a decision on the matter of opposing the reserve.

In the court, Ming Chengzu publicly announced that Zhu Zhanji, the son of the prince Zhu Gaochi, would be the grandson of the emperor, as the second prince.

This news immediately shocked the government and the public. Naturally, a group of civil servants were overjoyed and rejoiced. A group of military generals were disappointed that the second prince was not changed to be the crown prince, but they had nothing to say.

Of course, the second prince Zhu Gaoxu was very unhappy with Ji Gang and his cronies.

After the court was over, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Ji Gang with a livid face, and the two left the palace one after the other, and came directly to Ji Gang's mansion.

Ji Gang welcomed the second prince Zhu Gaoxu to the living room and sat down, ordered the living room door to be closed, and then said: "My lord, what should we do about this matter?"

Zhu Gaoxu slapped heavily on the table: "Father established the emperor's grandson today, which means that all hopes of this king's accession to the throne have been cut off. Now that things have come to an end, we have to do it!"

Ji Gang nodded: "I found out that Yang Qiuchi's Jinyiwei activities are very frequent today, and there are eyeliners around the prince's mansion and the mansion. I am worried that Yang will find out about our plan sooner or later. Today, the emperor's grandson is established again, so we will I can only do it."

"Well, fortunately, we are almost ready. We will do it in the early morning tomorrow. At that time, hundreds of officials will gather, and we will take it in one fell swoop!"

Ji Gang bowed and said, "Okay! I'm humbled to obey the orders of the lord."

"Immediately order your Jinyiwei to get ready. Tomorrow Yinshi will be concentrated in Beizhen Fusi. When Maoshi arrives, one will control the Dudu's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the other will immediately seize the Meridian Gate, enter the imperial palace from the Meridian Gate, and control the south of the outer court. .”

"Follow your orders!"

"One of my King's Tiance Guards will attack the imperial palace at Maoshi tomorrow and control the inner court of the harem. The other will capture the Prince's Mansion, kill Zhu Gaochi and his son Zhu Zhanji who has been the emperor's grandson for a day, and occupy the Prince's Mansion. Now I will go to Xingziao to mobilize the [-] soldiers and horses, disperse them into the capital, enter your mansion from the backyard, and equip armored weapons. Tomorrow Maoshi, I will personally lead them to rush into the palace, surround the Jinshen Palace in the early court, and force the emperor to surrender. bit!"

"Great! Tomorrow morning, this world will belong to you, the emperor!" Ji Gang has now changed his name to Zhu Gaoxu as the emperor, making him laugh out loud.

Ji Gang thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the two beautiful concubines of Yang Qiuchi..."

Zhu Gaoxu didn't have much interest in women, so he waved his hand: "After the matter is done, I will give it to you. The surname Yang and other family members, regardless of men, women, old or young, will be executed immediately!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

At Maoshi on the second day, the second prince Zhu Gaoxu came to the back door of Ji Gang Mansion with his personal guards. Immediately, the back door opened wide, and groups of soldiers with short knives and light armor came out from the back door, lined up neatly, a total of [-] people.

With a wave of his hand, Zhu Gaoxu led the 1 people straight to the imperial city.
