Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin felt extremely sleepy, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When he opened his eyes again, the sky had already brightened, and His Royal Highness Wei Wang, whose face was full of tiredness, sat beside his bed.

Li Xin's spirit suddenly cheered up, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "His... Your Highness, how is your Majesty?"

"do not know."

The seventh prince shook his head, and said with a complex expression: "After returning to the palace from Beishan, the imperial physician has been entering and leaving Weiyang Palace. The three imperial brothers and I knelt at the gate of Weiyang Palace. It was not until this morning that Chen Ju drove us out and called We will wait for the news when we return home."

Li Xin hesitated for a moment, finally gritted his teeth and asked, "Your Highness..."

Before Li Xin could say these words, His Royal Highness King Wei shook his head: "The eight hundred Habayashi men in the right battalion of the Habayashi Guards were all taken into the prison to be punished. , did not enter the prison, but was also confined to the Habayashi Guard camp, waiting to be released."

The Seventh Prince heaved a long sigh: "Even Ye Lin and Hou Jingde have been implicated, I was able to send brother Xin to Xiaojiu... I have already taken responsibility."

His Royal Highness the King of Wei glanced at Li Xin with a helpless tone.

"Brother Xin has to understand me."

Li Xin nodded silently: "Your Highness is right."

The Holy Son of Heaven is the Ninth Five-Year Sovereign. Now because of Habayashi Wei Youying's dereliction of duty, he put his father in danger. If it weren't for the meritorious service of Li Xin and the other three escorts, the heads of these [-] people would probably have fallen to the ground at this time!

Zhou Dainian and the others deserved to die, and even Zhou Dainian's family members couldn't escape the guilt, but the rest of Habayashi Wei were innocent.

To exonerate them, the Emperor Chengde must speak in person.

Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, this assassination...could it be..."

The Seventh Prince's expression changed, he shook his head and said: "The crown prince has not been decided yet, and the emperor brothers would not do such a stupid thing, even if they... succeed, the throne will not fall into their hands!"

Li Xin frowned.

If it wasn't the princes who did it, then who on earth would have the guts to attack the emperor?

The Seventh Prince patted Li Xin on the shoulder, shook his head and said, "Brother Xin, you should try to recuperate here as much as possible during this time, and I will try my best to help you keep Habayashi Guard from the imperial court. If there is any news, I will send it to you at any time." Come to Xiaojiu."

Speaking of this, the Seventh Prince stood up and rubbed his forehead: "I haven't slept for a day and a night, I'm going to sleep for a while, and when I wake up, I have to go to the palace to visit my father."

Li Xin half-lyed on the bed and let out a slow breath.

"Your Highness, Habayashi Wei Youying won't be implicated in Wei Wangfu..."

"Habayashi Wei Youying made a big mistake this time, so it will naturally implicate Wei Wangfu."

His Royal Highness King Wei stopped in his tracks, shook his head and said, "So I can't keep them, but Brother Xin can't. Last night you almost saved the life of your father by yourself. This is a fact that many people have seen with their own eyes. , no matter who wants to touch you, I will not agree."

After all, the Seventh Prince forced a smile: "You should cultivate here for a while, and we will talk about it after you recover from your injury."

Li Xin was silent for a while, and finally said in a shy voice: "Your Highness, if there is any bad news in the palace, you will be ready to seize the throne..."

The Seventh Prince was silent for a while, and finally nodded his head imperceptibly, and walked away.

Li Xin squinted his eyes, lying on the bed wondering what he was thinking.

Chapter 226

The assassination of the emperor, especially the near success of the assassination, can be regarded as one of the most important events in the hundreds of years of history of a dynasty. In the history of the country.

God does not speak, the emperor is the sky.

Now the sky is broken!

Emperor Chengde was still unconscious, and no one made a judgment on this matter, so the ministers of the three provinces and the officials of the six ministries gathered at Shangshutai and began to make a judgment on this matter.

If the emperor is removed from the imperial court, these people can actually be regarded as a "parliament" in a certain sense, and they can represent the highest power of the imperial court.

Four of the six volumes were named by four princes, so these four princes were also invited to Shangshutai.

Shangshu Pushe of Shangshutai, his surname is Zhang and his name is Qu, and his style name is Haoran. Because he is in charge of Shangshutai, he is the prime minister of the current dynasty, and everyone in the court and the public respect him as Duke Haoran.

This Lord Haoran is already over sixty years old this year.

Because it was discussed at Shangshutai, and Zhang Qu was the prime minister, it was natural for him to speak first. At this moment, Duke Haoran said in a solemn voice, "The Kingdom has been in existence for more than a hundred years, and has experienced seven emperors. There has never been such a shocking story. What happened, today the Holy Son of Heaven is in the court, the people are blessed, and the people are gracious, but someone does such a heinous thing!"

Duke Haoran said angrily: "This matter, no matter who is involved, must be thoroughly investigated to the end, but anyone who is involved in this matter will be exiled and copied from all three tribes to show that the country's laws are strict!"

The prime minister spoke, and the others naturally nodded. Only Huan Chu frowned slightly, and said, "Mr. Haoran, the dozen or so assassins have all been punished. Where should we start the investigation?"

"Let's start with Habayashi guard!"

Zhang Qu's face was cold: "I have already sent people to investigate. According to the traces that night, most of these people sneaked in from the area in charge of Yubayashi Youying. Investigate whoever is involved, investigate whichever level is involved, and find out all these imperial bandits hiding behind the scenes!"

Huan Chu glanced at Zhang Qu indifferently, and said, "The general Li Xin of Yubayashi Youying, Mr. Zhang, do you think you want to investigate?"

Many people saw Li Xin's heroic escort that night.

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the three of Li Xin that night, the bones of Emperor Chengde would have been cold by now!

If Li Xin has nothing to do with Habayashi Wei, this time he is the number one hero who has contributed to the escort.

Zhang Haoran lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said: "Li Xin has meritorious service in escorting, so he can be cleared of suspicion for the time being, but none of the others should be let go. Where is the law of the country, the law of the court?"

Zhang Qu is the official minister and the prime minister. Huan Chu couldn't resist him, so he could only shake his head and sigh: "The old man just thinks that there are always some guards of the Habayashi who shouldn't be killed. Duke Haoran If it is cut like this, there will inevitably be many innocent souls under the knife."

"Better kill the wrong one than let it go!"

Mr. Haoran's expression was cold: "They are really wronged in such a big case, and they deserve to die. Besides, that Zhou Danian is their colleague after all, so it's also a crime for them to report ineffectively."

His Royal Highness King Wei frowned, and said slowly, "Mr. Haoran, what Xiao Wang means is to start with Zhou Danian. After all, this is the culprit and the culprit. As for Yu Regarding Lin Weilian's sitting, it will not be too late to make a decision after this line is found out."

Ji Huan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, glanced at the seventh prince coldly, and said in a low voice, "Father is about to be killed by Habayashi Youying, you are still protecting them, old seven, that Li Xin was the first one to arrive for no reason at that time, Maybe even he has hooked up with Zhou Dainian!"

His Royal Highness King Wei stood up, closed his eyes and said, "The Habayashi Guard is led by the Son of Heaven, the Royal Father's personal army, and now that the Father has not spoken, you are going to kill the old man's personal army?"

"Fucking pro-army, how can there be a pro-army that brings assassins in!"

At this time, the fourth prince could no longer care about his reserved demeanor, he stood up, and said coldly: "According to this king, this matter should be handled according to the witchcraft case of Emperor Wu, and whoever is involved will follow along." Touch the vines, then pull out the melon seedlings, and kill them layer by layer, firstly, to annoy the emperor, and secondly, to let those rebels know that our Ji family is not easy to bully!"

Emperor Wu, that is, the period of the first emperor, a concubine in the harem buried witchcraft in the palace, intending to suppress Emperor Wu and the crown prince. Afterwards, the Emperor Wu, who had just ruled the world at that time, was furious and ordered a big prison to be set off.

The person in charge of the case at that time was Zhou Yuanli, a cruel official, so he touched the concubine all the way down the vines, and the vines sprouted melon seedlings, and the melon seedlings pulled out the vines, and the cycle went on and on, so that before and after this incident After three years, tens of thousands of people died because of this witchcraft case!

This old event was called "Gua Manchao" by later generations.

After Emperor Chengde succeeded to the throne, he was much more benevolent than the previous emperor. There was no such a big prison in the entire Chengde Dynasty. Gradually, everyone put the witchcraft case of more than 20 years behind them. At this time, the fourth prince, Suddenly the old thing was brought up again.

Huan Chu, the servant under the door, trembled his eyelids, and looked at Ji Huan with some displeasure.
