The next day, Zhao Xi still woke up just after Yinshi.I was a little sleepy, but I woke up despite fighting back my drowsiness.

As usual, let Wang Zhongzheng walk around the inner garden shouting 'one two one', and then went to school.

When passing by Xu Cairen's palace, Wang Zhongzheng glanced at the prince several times, but saw that the prince seemed to be fine at all.

The prince is the prince. He thought that when he saw a murderer for the first time, he couldn't even move his legs.

……

"Who is it?"

Early in the morning, Chen Lin reported to Zhao Zhen the people who died under the palace wall.

"Go back to the official's house, I haven't found out!"

"Then investigate! Order the inspector to investigate!"

"Going back to the official's house, it seems that when this person fled from Xu Cairen, he was injured by an iron nail in the courtyard, and died of a brain attack under the palace wall."

"Brain disease?"

"Going back to the official's house, the Secretary of the Imperial City made the judgment. There was a wound on the right leg. I found a bloody iron nail in the corridor leading to Xu Cairen's palace. The judge should be injured by this iron nail."

"There is bleeding deep in the mouth and nose, and there are wounds that have not been investigated. It should be caused by a rupture in the brain."

Zhao Zhen always wanted to avoid Xu Cairen mentioned by Chen Lin, but Chen Lin mentioned it again.

Every time he mentioned it, it was like being slapped in the face, crisp and hot.

He's not stupid and understands what's going on.Although it is only speculation, it should not be too far from the truth.

"Have you informed the saint?"

"Going back to the official's house, I haven't talked to the empress yet."

"Tell the saint..."

After all, the queen is the head of the six palaces, how to deal with it is up to her to decide.

Empress Cao never thought that there would be such a scandal in the inner garden...

"Who else knows about this?"

"Back to your mother, only the Imperial City Secretary is on duty, the old slave has already warned."

The officials let me deal with it... It is indeed an internal matter in the palace, and it can be handed over to the Imperial City Secretary.Alas, just the temperament of the official family!

"Then someone brought Xu Cairen, and at the same time called Xie Xi, who was judged in the palace, to the Ciming Palace."

If this matter is confirmed, the only way is to be executed, and the inner garden cannot tolerate such dirty things.

……

"My lord, Xu Cairen hanged himself."

Every day after school, Zhao Xi would go back in a hurry, instead of yelling one by one to leave.

At this time, there are always people coming and going in the palace, and they will stop to salute from time to time.

Wang Zhongzheng didn't stay in Zishantang at all all day, he kept thinking about the dead man.I reported this to Zhao Xi right after school.

"Imperial City Secretary found the iron nail, and concluded that the man died of a sudden brain attack. Then Xu Cairen was called by his mother, and hanged himself while changing clothes."

Wang Zhongzheng said it casually, but he couldn't figure it out in his heart.How that person died, he knew very well, but why did Zuo decide that it was a sudden brain disease?

Chapter 40

The Huangcheng Division has been a little ferocious these past few days. They took away seven or eight people from the front of the palace and the inner division of the division one after another, and never released them back.

The officials also ordered the Privy Council to rotate the squadrons in the inner hall.

Ouchi has no secrets.Mr. Zhengshitang also heard about what happened in Neiyuan.The officials didn't hurt the killer, and they killed the entire inner hall team, which was considered kind.

Every day these days, concubines go to the Ciming Palace to undergo a physical examination.Then... Empress Cao killed three pregnant concubines one after another.

Empress Cao was so ruthless, but no one said a word in the Zhengshitang, and even Yushitai, who loved to shout the most, no one handed me a book.

Zhao Zhen knew that he was afraid that such a bad thing about himself would already be a storm in the city.

There was no morning court recently, and Zhao Zhen didn't even go to Wende Palace.As Ciming Palace expanded the scope of the trial, things made him worse and worse, and he didn't even have the face to see the husbands.

"Mr. Zhang, do you know the consequences of pleading for Mrs. Chen?"

Empress Cao has been annoying enough these past few days. The Zhang family, relying on the favor of the officials, even pointed fingers at the dirty things in Neiyuan.

Now, he dared to intercede for a ruined court lady!

"Eldest sister, Mrs. Chen has never been favored by the officials, nor has she had any rank. She is just a handyman. The guards are good friends with her, and it is not a disaster for the court. It is just a matter of time. Mrs. Chen will get married after she leaves the palace."

"The government has always been tolerant. Now that the chaos of the palace curtains has made the inner garden as silent as a cicada, the court may also look on coldly. Eldest sister, let Chen's family go, it may not be a good story for all the ministers, and even the people of the capital. It can also relieve the elder sister's recent days. Depressed."

Zhao Xi has also been paying attention to the chaos in the inner garden these days.

To be honest, he couldn't accept the method of stick killing.

It's not that he thinks he shouldn't deal with it, nor is it that he feels pity for those damned concubines, it's just that maids like Chen... Anyway, my father doesn't like it, and it's a waste to put it in the palace. If it's true as Zhang said, letting go may not be wrong good thing.

He also knew that the current courtiers were probably holding back, waiting for the situation to develop, and maybe the wind was not right, and they would start submitting papers one by one.Although he wouldn't say bluntly that his father occupied the latrine and didn't shit, he would find fault with his eggs and find some unimportant things to blame.

It is said to correct the behavior of the emperor, to rectify the gains and losses of the emperor, but in fact it is to vent the imbalance in the heart.

They are all human beings, the so-called sons of heaven, for scholars like them, the emperor is just a person who bears the title of His Majesty.

Judging from several exchanges between the ministers and the father, Zhao Xi did not see the kind of respect that the courtiers had for the emperor, but was more picky and fault-finding.

Even the successors of his own empire, when they met scholars in Zishantang, they were only polite in etiquette and did not appear to be in awe.

As if they were the opposite.

Scholars, as the elites of this era, have read through historical changes, so how can they not understand the meaning of imperial power granted by heaven.

Zhao Xi was studying books after school, but some words in the main hall always caught his ears and heart.

For the first time, he discovered that Zhang's family is not a vase that is favored by skins, at least the two sentences just now made him want to praise him.

The so-called turning strange things into good things, or turning good things into bad things, is all because of needs, and it is also a way to divert topics and conflicts.

Regarding the chaos in Neiyuan, whether it is good to kill chickens to make an example to monkeys, or to make an example of others, it must not continue like this.
