Chapter 403
After interrogation, Zhang Chai named the old eunuch in a state of panic, which seemed to be Pang Bao and Liu Cheng.

After investigation, Pang Bao and Liu Cheng were naturally eunuchs in the palace, but the status of eunuchs was low, and they alone could not have the courage to assassinate the prince.

Soon everyone found out that they were all servants of Concubine Zheng, so the court officials suspected that Concubine Zheng was instigating them behind the scenes and wanted to murder the prince in order to establish King Wu.

After the interrogation revealed the behind-the-scenes instigation, all the civil and military officials of the imperial court demanded that Emperor Wanli punish Concubine Zheng severely.

Concubine Zheng was terrified when she heard the result of the trial.

"Your Majesty, it's really not the concubine who did it. Pang Bao and Liu Cheng have long stopped working under the concubine's command. They are both working under Zhou Qingfeng's command now." In the Qianqing Palace, Concubine Zheng cried to Emperor Wanli.

"I also know that you did not do this, but now all the evidence points to you..." Emperor Wanli was also very distressed.

He had some doubts that this incident was a trick directed and performed by the prince himself, but the prince was also seriously injured. No one would think that the prince would take the risk of seriously injuring himself to direct and perform such a trick.

"This matter is very exciting, and it is inconvenient for me to relieve you, or you can ask the prince yourself." Emperor Wanli said to Concubine Zheng.

"This, can this work?" Concubine Zheng Guifei pear blossoms with rain, watching Emperor Wanli's heart ache.

"I will accompany you to beg the prince, I believe the prince will forgive you." Emperor Wanli said to Concubine Zheng.

In order to keep Concubine Zheng, he was ready to put down his body and beg his son.

Although Emperor Wanli is the Ninth Five-Year King, Zhang Qingfeng finally experienced the joy of being an emperor after more than ten years of struggle.

But at this moment, he realized that the emperor is not helpless because he can't do whatever he wants.

"Father, my son knows that this matter must have nothing to do with Concubine Zheng. This matter can be closed as long as Zhang Cha is responsible for it alone. Please order the Criminal Department to handle Zhang Cha quickly, so that no one else will be implicated." On the hospital bed, Zhu Changluo Said to Emperor Wanli.

Zhu Changluo was stabbed in his hand. Fortunately, he was treated by an imperial doctor and disinfected with alcohol, so the wound did not deteriorate, which is a blessing in misfortune.

Hearing his son Zhu Changluo's words, Emperor Wanli finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Crown Prince Zhu Changluo insisted on this matter, Concubine Zheng would definitely be punished.

Finally, Emperor Wanli ordered Zhang Chai to be executed for the crime of insane adulterer.

Zhang Cha died, but the civil and military officials were unwilling to expose the matter just like that.

Soon after Zhang Cha's death, the Sanfa Division conducted five joint trials of Pang Bao and Liu Cheng.

However, because of the witness Zhang Chai's death, Pang Bao and Liu Cheng denied involvement in the assassination of the prince, and the case has not been progressed.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Wanli could only secretly order some eunuchs to execute Pang Bao and Liu Cheng quietly.

After the death of Pang Bao and Liu Cheng, the whole case could not be investigated, and it was left alone.

However, after this incident happened, the voices of all civil and military officials asking Wu Wang Zhu Changxun to become a vassal became louder.

Emperor Wanli had no choice but to order Zhu Changxun to take over the feudal domain.

The final result of the whole case was that Wu Wang Zhu Changxun was forced to surrender.

This incident finally achieved what Zhang Qingfeng wanted to achieve.

In fact, from the beginning to the end, this case was planned by Zhang Qingfeng and Prince Zhu Changxun together.

Zhang Qingfeng asked someone to set up a trap to make Zhang Chai lose money, and then arranged for someone to take him to Beijing.

Even the names of Pang Bao and Liu Cheng were inadvertently revealed to Zhang Cha.

In the end, this matter was indeed as he had arranged, and it achieved his purpose.

As for the injury on the prince's arm, it was also arranged in advance.

Historically, the prince was only frightened, which made many people suspect that it was a trick directed and performed by the prince himself. Although Zhu Changxun finally became a vassal, he did not lose any good reputation.

This time it was different, this time the prince was really seriously injured, it seemed much more real than the historical attack on the shore.

As for Pang Bao and Liu Cheng, they naturally had nothing to do with this case, but as Concubine Zheng's servants, they naturally became Zhang Qingfeng's scapegoats.

Don't blame Zhang Qingfeng for being ruthless. In order to complete the mission, if he could kill Emperor Wanli, he would not hesitate.

This case was almost all secretly planned by Zhang Qingfeng.

However, on the surface, he has nothing to do with this case.

What he did the most was to comfort Concubine Zheng and Emperor Wanli, and won their favor for a round.

Zhu Changxun, king of Wu, took over the feudal domain, and Emperor Wanli did not treat him badly.

Twenty thousand Musketeers who defeated Lin Dan Khan on the grassland were given to his son Zhu Changxun as guards by Emperor Wanli.

In addition, a royal fleet was also sent to Zhu Changxun, including five Galen warships, more than 30 ordinary sea ships, and more than 2000 gunner crews.

In addition to the army and ships, Emperor Wanli also gave 500 million taels of silver to Zhu Changxun to take away, which was very generous.

Besides the people arranged by Emperor Wanli, beside Zhu Changxun, there were also many people arranged by Zhang Qingfeng.

Most of these people are students who graduated from Daming University of Technology.

These people will follow Zhu Changxun to Tiwan Island, and then help Zhu Changxun manage affairs on Tiwan Island.

Of course, now Tiwan has become the state of Wu, and they will be the subjects of the state of Wu in the future.

Wu Guo is actually a pawn secretly planned by Zhang Qingfeng.

He planned to use Tiwan as his base camp, and then encouraged Wu King Zhu Changxun to attack Nanyang.

Today's Nanyang has been occupied by Europeans, which Zhang Qingfeng absolutely does not allow.

He managed to travel through the Ming Dynasty once, and it was impossible to watch the Europeans continue to colonize Southeast Asia.

It’s fine if you don’t have the strength. Since you have the strength, why don’t you come by yourself?
With King Wu becoming a feudal clan, the prince's assassination case was finally revealed.

However, this incident once again hit Emperor Wanli's newly inflated self-confidence, and as a result, he returned to the deep palace again to ignore the government.

Although this incident dealt a severe blow to Emperor Wanli, Emperor Wanli asked Zhang Qingfeng to train [-] soldiers, but Zhang Qingfeng did not hesitate to implement it.

A few months later, Wu Wang Zhu Changxun finally arrived at Tiwan Island by boat.

He originally thought that Tiwan Island should be a very barren and wild place, but after arriving at Tiwan Island, he was very happy.

At this time, Tiwan Island, after several years of development, has already had more than one million immigrants on the island.

On the southeast plain of the most affluent island, Emperor Wanli has built a luxurious palace for him.

When he got here, he realized that there seemed to be no difference between here and Daming, but he was more free here.

The reason why there are so many immigrants on Tiwan Island is mainly because of the frequent natural disasters in recent years. Then Emperor Wanli used administrative power to immigrate to the island, which made the island develop so quickly.

If the people migrated spontaneously according to the history, it is estimated that it may not be able to reach such a scale in decades.

After Zhu Changxun took over the kingdom of Wu, he quickly formed his own administrative team.

Most of this administrative team are arranged by Zhang Qingfeng.

Emperor Wanli was very repulsive and disgusted with the civil servants of the court. For this reason, he had not been in court for decades, and it was impossible for him to arrange for Zhu Changxun's civil servants to come to Wu.

Therefore, some non-examination officials under Zhang Qingfeng were transferred by Emperor Wanli to form a set of administrative teams under Zhu Changxun, plus some people arranged by Zhang Qingfeng himself later, which led to Wu's administrative team. The proportion of Confucian scholars is very small.

In fact, in the eyes of many court ministers, Tiwan Island is a barren land, and it is better to be sent to Hainan to become an official there.

Many people think that they would not want to go to the place where the birds don't shit on the Tiewan Island.

However, it was cheaper for Zhang Qingfeng.
