"Absurd, when the crown prince leaves Beijing, someone intends to assassinate him? It's extremely absurd!" Zhao Ji roared angrily.

After Dong Kuai committed suicide, Zhao Huan spent a whole day interrogating the relevant criminals, and only on the third day did he let the local government report to the higher authorities.

Knowing that someone was plotting to assassinate the prince, all bureaucrats, such as Zhizhou and Tongjuan, were frightened away.

Hearing the news in the morning, he flew to the imperial court in the afternoon.

Zhao Ji was furious!

Someone assassinated the prince today, will someone murder the emperor tomorrow?

This world, or the Zhao family's world?

Therefore, he immediately sent an imperial edict to the important officials in the court.

Seeing that Zhao Ji was in a state of desperation, Luo Congyan came out and said, "Your Majesty, Dong Kuai is only a town inspector, but he dared to assassinate the prince and kill the county magistrate without authorization. The root cause was Gao Qiu's instigation."

"Hugh is so bloody!" Gao Qiu said, "Your Majesty, because of an old relationship, I did ask Dong Kuai to do an inspection tour of Fengyang Town in return.

However, I never expected that Li Zi would do such a frenzied thing. "

"If it wasn't for your order, how could Qiu Yue and Zhou Ang follow Dong Kuai's command!" Luo Congyan retorted.

"Because of selfishness, I ordered Qiu Yue and Zhou Ang to go to Dengzhou for business, and take care of the dog along the way. They were captured because they were unable to reach the enemy, and were released later.

Before the Dianqian Division found out the reason, the two relied on force to kill the prison guards and escaped from the prison regardless of their family members.

In a rage, the minister captured the whereabouts of his family's young torturer. Because his subordinates did not handle their affairs properly, they only cared about torture, resulting in the death of the two family members.

I am willing to be punished for my lack of strict supervision, resulting in this failure. "

"Nonsense!" Luo Congyan yelled, "The Commander's Mansion is heavily guarded, how can there be any reason why two criminals can't be detained?

If the soldiers in Dian Shuai's mansion were so tired and useless, the Forbidden Army under the Dian Qian Division would definitely be useless as well.

In this way, what's the benefit of keeping the commander in front of the palace? "

"Your Majesty!" Luo Congyan bowed to Zhao Ji and said, "Furthermore, Zhou Ang and Qiu Yue are both Gao Qiu's confidantes, which can be seen from the fact that he assigned them to escort Gao Qiu.

Dong Kuai inspected Fengyang Town and was also promoted by Gao Qiu, and Dong Kuai donated more than [-] yuan to Gao Qiu every year, which shows the close relationship between them.

The three of them assassinated the prince, how did Gao Qiu get away with it?

I ask your Majesty to decree that Gao Qiu should be removed from all positions to prepare for the inspection by the chief inspector! "

"Your Majesty, it is true that Dong Kuai has a very close relationship with me, but I don't know the details of his plot to assassinate the Eastern Palace.

As for the reason, the minister knows a thing or two. Gao Qiu paused for a moment, and continued: "Back then, I lived in Dong's house and witnessed Dong Kuai's affair with his sister-in-law.

Because this is a family scandal, the minister was afraid of losing face during the period, so he never exposed it.

Later, I heard that his sister-in-law gave birth to a son, named Dong Zhan, who was the son of Dong Yue, the commander of the deputy capital of the Qiandian Qiansi.

Last month, Dong Kuai went to Beijing, and asked his ministers to redeem Dong Zhan's head for burial. The minister guessed that Dong Zhan was Dong Kuai's son.

Because of the old love, the minister helped.

Thinking about it now, this Dong Zhan must be the son of Dong Kuai, and he wanted to assassinate Dong Gong because he had revenge for killing his son.

As for Zhou Angqiuyue, he must have joined the bandits of Liangshan and wanted to use the East Palace as his name, so he joined forces with Dong Kuai. "

Seeing that Zhao Ji was deep in thought, Luo Congyan said, "Your Majesty, Dong Kuianian offered 20 coins to Gao Qiu, and there is no room for sophistry. How can we make this relationship clear?"

"Your Majesty." Tong Guan came out and said, "The prince's assassination shocked the world, and the world will not be safe without a thorough investigation.

Of course, it is inappropriate to dismiss an important official of the court on the basis of suspicion. Unless the prince's guests come up with strong evidence, Gao Qiu should not be dismissed, only to order a thorough investigation.

If Gao Qiu is really involved, it won't be too late to deal with it.

Furthermore, if a mere inspection can achieve 20 guan, please make an order from your majesty to send the minister to become a rich and small official there. "

"Your Majesty!" Gao Qiu also bowed, "I am willing to resign to show my innocence."

Deng Xunwu came out and said, "What Jing Guogong said is true. If a mere patrol inspection can make so much money, I am willing to do that patrol inspection."

Zhao Ji slightly lowered his head and said: "What you said is reasonable, but the assassination of the East Palace will definitely be thoroughly investigated. Do you have anything to say?"

Looking at his appearance, he was actually persuaded by Gao Qiu and the others.

The assassination of Donggong must be thoroughly investigated.

This matter is related to the safety of the throne, even if it involves many people and harms innocent people, it will not hesitate.

However, Zhao Ji actually believed the defense of Gao Qiu and others!

It's really ridiculous.

Don't say that Gao Lian has a deep relationship with the three of them, even if there is only suspicion, they should be investigated.

"I have to play." Wang Fu came out and said: "Your Majesty, there are thieves who are plotting to assassinate the East Palace, and there is indeed a secretary to be responsible.

However, leaving the capital of the East Palace also gave the thief a chance. This time, by luck, the prince found out in advance, so he was safe.

If they hadn't been found out during the next trip, the thieves would make a violent attack, and Dong Gong might be killed.

For the sake of the safety of the East Palace and the stability of the country and society, I request you to return the prince immediately. "

"It's just that I was negligent." Zhao Huan nodded slightly, and was about to agree.

Luo Congyan was in a hurry, and said first: "Your Majesty, if you are in such a hurry to return to the East Palace, does it mean that the dignified royal nobles are actually afraid of that mere thieves? If so, they will be the laughing stock of the world."

"The guest's remarks are inappropriate." Wang Fu said: "The East Palace is amazingly talented and capable, and can indeed handle disaster relief well.

However, it is extremely stupid to place the East Palace in a dangerous place with a false name. I also ask your Majesty to issue an order to return to the East Palace immediately. "

After finally going out, how can I come back like this?

Therefore, Zhao Huan not only sent someone to send a letter to Donggong, but also sent a letter to Teng He, just to prevent such a situation.

Seeing that Zhao Ji wanted to order the prince back, Teng He came out and said: "Your Majesty, the prince has great ambitions and has always taken it as his mission to help the people and stabilize the country. Presumably he is not willing to turn back because of the small night.

I would like to send a special envoy to set off immediately to thoroughly investigate the assassination of the East Palace before asking the prince's opinion.

If you want to go back, it will not be too late to issue an order. If you don't want to go back, send more elite soldiers and good generals to protect you.

Thinking about it, with the soldiers of the country and the dynasty, the soldiers should be brave and protect the safety of the East Palace. "

"That's reasonable." Tan Zhen came out and said, "Your Majesty, I request that the Imperial City Division select elites to protect the East Palace and go south, and then thoroughly investigate this matter."
