Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 526

"Yes!" Chang Baicheng clasped his fists, turned around and left, took a step and then turned around and said, "Then, Prince An?"

"Break into the Heavenly Prison and seal the Prince's Mansion of Anjun." The emperor said bitterly, then turned to ask Mr. He, "Have you let the clan's mansion come in?"

Eunuch He coughed lightly, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

The emperor understood now, and waved to Chang Baicheng: "Go to the prison first, then the concubine will be locked up separately, and the dragon robe, crown and witnesses will be sent to the palace first."

"I obey the order!" Chang Baicheng understood in his heart, and after bowing and saluting, he walked out with big strides.

After he left, Eunuch He closed the door, walked up to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, those eunuchs in the punishment palace have spoken."

The emperor's face sank, and he said, "Say!"

Although he already understood a little bit in his heart, although he hated Su Yue to become that kind of person, he wished he could just give those four people to...

However, if the eunuchs in the Xing Palace didn't speak up, some things would not be confirmed. After all, he still couldn't believe that all these things were instigated by Concubine Li.

But Eunuch He said earlier that the eunuch who specially wore iron boots was instigated by Concubine An Jun. When he was furious, he knew something about it, and he was afraid that the matter about Concubine Li was true.

A little girl like Concubine Anjun can be so cruel, why can't Concubine Li do it?
After all, anyone can lie to him, but Su Yue won't.

Eunuch He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you still remember that a group of assassins came to the palace 14 years ago?"

The emperor nodded and said: "Of course I remember, that time it was very dangerous. The assassins broke into the late emperor's palace. Fortunately, the fourth prince was there at that time and helped the late emperor block it."

Speaking of this, the emperor's expression changed: "I remember..."

When the assassination incident happened, he was still in the process of returning from Fujian to Beijing and was ordered by the late emperor to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors in the mansion. He didn't know the details, but he still clearly remembered that after that incident, the late emperor treated the fourth prince differently. stand up.

"At that time, those assassins revealed that they were sent by the late prince. Although there was no evidence, one of the two crimes used by the late emperor to kill the late prince was to secretly appoint assassins to assassinate the late emperor." Eunuch Ding continued softly. .

There is also a statement that the first prince, together with the Minister of the Household Department at the time, forged fake silver in private, intending to build his own private army.

If the two are added together, isn't it a serious crime of treason?
It's just that there is actually no solid evidence for these two items, but they are unwarranted (maybe) charges.

It's just that the first emperor poisoned the first prince to death at that time, and the East Palace was also destroyed. Naturally, no one will ask and pursue these two things.

The emperor was taken aback for a moment, and said, "How could it be the prince's brother!"

"It is indeed not the first prince, the person who hired those assassins is the fourth prince." Eunuch He said softly.

"What! You, you start from the beginning!" The emperor said tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, the eunuch who assassinated you was one of the gang of assassins 15 years ago." Eunuch He said in a low voice, "Back then, the fourth prince married a concubine who was born in the rivers and lakes, so the fourth prince hired a concubine through her." Criticize the masters of the rivers and lakes to assassinate the late emperor, but they didn’t intend to succeed at all, they just aimed to frame the late prince, so except for the two leaders who knew the truth, everyone else thought the money was paid by the late prince.”

Eunuch He's voice paused, he looked up at the emperor's expression, then lowered his head and said: "Those assassins are just because the martial arts of the first two are higher, and the fourth prince is well prepared. Then let the imperial guards who had been arranged in advance besiege and kill those people, and then let those imperial guards catch a few alive during the siege, and told them that they were ordered by the former prince, but the guards of the first emperor at that time were not I know, I have been chasing and killing the two leaders, one of them was killed, the other was seriously injured, and fled into the harem where the newly promoted maids lived."

Eunuch He's voice paused again, and he said in a low voice: "At that time, Concubine Li had just been summoned by * to be a singer in the palace, she lived in that place and saved that person."

The emperor's face turned pale, and he grasped the handrail tightly.

Eunuch Ding quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please drink some tea, don't be angry."

The emperor took a deep breath, drank the tea in one gulp, and said, "Go ahead."

"The concubine Li saved the man, but the concubine Li was just a newcomer at the time, and she couldn't find any suitable person to help, so she couldn't send the man out. After hiding for a while, she took her jewelry and bribed an old prisoner. Palace eunuch, made a half palace for that man." Eunuch He stopped his voice.

The emperor was a little puzzled and asked: "What is a half palace?"

Eunuch Ding also had a look of embarrassment on his face, and said in a low voice, "It's just like the old slaves, but they haven't been cleaned, so they are called Bangong."

That is to say, it looks like it is cut, it is a eunuch, but in fact it still retains some functions of castration.

The emperor turned his head around for a moment, and when he understood, his face became even paler, and he said, "Go on."

"It so happened that not long after, the old eunuch's apprentice fell ill and died, so the old eunuch simply asked that person to replace his apprentice's name and position, and stayed in the palace, becoming a criminal eunuch." Mr. He said: " This stay, stay until now."

Some of these things were explained by the man who couldn't bear it, and some of them were told to him by Wei Fu outside the queen's palace that day.

The old eunuch and Wei Fu were considered to be the same group of old people who entered the palace, and they had a good relationship with Wei Fu. Back then, they didn't tell Wei Fu about that person's background, but just told Wei Fu that he wanted a pensioner to end his life. He found someone from outside, afraid of trouble, so he simply named his apprentice.

Who is Wei Fu? At that time, he felt that there was something wrong with this person's background, but at that time, it had been a year since the assassination incident. He never thought that it was related to that incident. He thought it might be related to the old eunuch. The deep gangsters who had nowhere to go, couldn't stand the old eunuch's pleas, so they turned a blind eye and pretended they didn't see it.

I kept this matter in my heart all the time, and after the old eunuch passed away, and that man had been honestly messing around in the punishment palace, he gradually forgot about it.

It wasn't until Concubine Li went to find that person in private that Wei Fu realized something was wrong.

The Xinggong is a special existence in the imperial palace. In this imperial palace, as long as one enters the Xinggong, there is basically no one who can go out completely. Not to mention the eunuchs and maids in the imperial palace, even the concubines dislike the eunuchs of the Xinggong.

Therefore, although this punishment palace is a place that the emperors of all dynasties valued, anyone who has connections and kindness does not like to stay here. Those who are not old enough cannot stay in the punishment palace.

The Xinggong doesn't know when it started, it will pick some serious criminals and death row prisoners, such as Jiangyang robbers who are about to be executed, and let them enter the Xinggong after cutting off the roots of their descendants.

Therefore, the eunuchs of the Xinggong Palace can be said to be the most vicious and vicious people in the palace, and they are also the most dangerous group of people.

Although Xinggong is not liked by other people in the palace, it is indeed a sharp knife in the hands of the emperor, so Xinggong's treatment has always been good.

It's just that Wei Fu originally served the first prince's mother and queen, and took over the punishment palace after the queen passed away. It was given to Tong Guan's imperial guards to do it. Correspondingly, the treatment in Xinggong was also very different from before, and it was much worse.

Those people in the Xinggong Palace were not to be trifled with, and they began to complain when they were having a hard time.

Even the palace change of the first emperor, even if someone noticed something was wrong, they just watched from the sidelines, and no one made a sound.

After finally waiting for the new emperor to ascend the throne, I thought that the bad old emperor was dead, so the new emperor would have to use the punishment palace again, right?
Well, I don’t know if the new emperor’s harem is harmonious and nothing major happened, or if the new emperor is just a soft-hearted old man who can’t see the conspiracy behind everything. Since the day he ascended the throne, the new emperor has never thought of punishment. palace!

Even if He Cairen's child is gone, it's over after listening to the patrolling guards. Let those who took the guy prepare to carefully investigate the scene to find the person behind it (they are used to looking at the third floor behind the plot) to punish them. The palace eunuch is a disappointment!

The emperor didn't even think of it, and life in the Xinggong was naturally even more difficult.

If it weren't for Wei Fu's extra money, those criminal eunuchs who were born in the underworld would have been unable to bear it and wanted to do something.

However, Wei Fu never imagined that the ones he was most worried about didn't do anything, but the one who had always been honest was dispatched.

That man had been in the Xinggong for more than ten years, and he had always been silent and transparent. After Concubine Li found him, she suddenly became active and had a private conversation with several people, and then took advantage of Wei Fu's inattention. some other things.

When Wei Fu realized something was wrong, the matter of the Seventh and Eleventh Princes happened.

At this time, the emperor thought of the punishment palace.

Wei Fu also put away his suspicions about that person, and went to investigate the two princes first, but unexpectedly, he brought a few of his confidants to investigate, and he was still reporting the latest progress to the emperor. , Someone over there came to report to the emperor, saying that the empress had summoned Su Yue into the palace.

Wei Fu knows Su Yue, someone has repeatedly told him to protect Su Yue's safety no matter what.

The emperor hurried to the queen's palace, and he took the opportunity to follow.

When I went to the hall to see how the situation was connected, I thought it was not good at the time, so I deliberately stood between the emperor and the eunuch who attacked Su Yue, just because he was afraid that the eunuch would suddenly hurt the emperor and Su Yue.

But Wei Fu was on all possible precautions, he didn't expect that person to do it!

And as soon as the man showed his kung fu, Wei Fu figured out one thing.

Back then when the assassin assassinated the late Emperor, although Wei Fu was not present, there were other people present. Moreover, although the assassin was captured, the late Emperor did not let him take the Xing Gong to participate but handed it over to Tong Guan, but he also heard something.

Of the two assassins with the strongest martial arts, one used a meteor hammer, and the other actually used plum blossom thorns.

One is a long weapon and the other is a short weapon. People in the world are called black and white double evil.

Heisha who used the meteor hammer was killed on the spot, but Baisha disappeared without a trace.

It turned out that he had been hiding in the punishment palace all along!

Wei Fu originally wanted to get that person to interrogate first, but he didn't expect Eunuch He to come out so soon.

Eunuch He also raised 1 precautions against Wei Fu at that time, and when Wei Fu dragged him out and said that the man was secretly taken in by an old eunuch in the criminal palace, he had great doubts.

But after starting the interrogation, the two found that the result that the other party wanted seemed to be similar to what they wanted.

After meeting Xie Jue at night, Eunuch He understood, well, we are all in the same group.

That would be easy!
After hesitating for a while, Eunuch He lowered his head so that only the emperor's dragon boots could be seen, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the sixth prince is not a dragon son."
