After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Chapter 319 Another murder (page 12)

On the night of the prince's wedding, another death occurred in the palace.

It was only the next day that Yingshu heard that during the wedding night of the prince and Wansu, Pan Chi, who was still serving his sentence in the criminal prison, fell asleep, and a young eunuch in the criminal prison hanged himself inexplicably. This young eunuch was witnessed by many people. , when Pan Chi "went to sleep", he and Pan Chi whispered to each other.

The prince requested an order and asked Imperial Physician Liu and other medical officials to conduct a consultation to verify whether Pan Chi was poisoned.

Then Imperial Physician Liu was unable to determine whether Pan Chi was poisoned, because Pan Chi had not yet died and still had a breath left. Whether the intracranium was damaged by poison could only be determined after a craniotomy, but Imperial Physician Liu could not cut a living person with a knife. If Pan Chi's head was cut open, it would be a direct killing.

It was just that the little eunuch who hanged himself was judged to have been strangled to death first and then hung on the crooked tree in the prison.

The young eunuch was not a sin slave, but was responsible for guarding the sin slaves. He moved relatively freely. After the key was issued, he could also move around inside the prison. It was late at night when he was killed, and there were no witnesses. It was difficult to arrest the murderer for a while, but this happened Ying Shu sensitively realized that she needed to respond to Sikong Yuehu's plan as soon as possible.

On this day, Ying Shu went to Shenyuan Hall.

Shenyuan Palace was also very concerned about this murder case. Seeing Yingshu coming, he quickly pulled her to sit down and said, "On this great day, I didn't expect that such an evil thing would happen again in the palace. I heard Zi Ling say that there seemed to be a certain person in the past. The Yin Cai people also died of inexplicable coma. In that case, it might be a strange and difficult disease, but now there is another case... We have never heard of such a strange disease, and Pan Chi... just died of it not long ago He caused a commotion, which is really strange."

Yingshu felt that it was better not to let Lord Dian know about this case.

Then he said vaguely: "It's difficult for the medical officers to determine the truth, and I don't know the truth either. Your Majesty, I'm here today because of another important matter."

"Say it quickly."

Seeing that there were no other people waiting around, Ying Shu explained the matter as carefully as possible. As soon as she finished explaining the importance of capturing Hanzhong, the emperor agreed without hesitation: "Since this matter is related to the rise and fall of the country, there is nothing to worry about. Yes, I am willing to go to Chang'an and cooperate with Mr. Xinsu in his plan."

"Your Majesty, the risk is huge when you go here..."

"A Shu, our Xuan clan has captured the Han Dynasty. How powerful the Han Dynasty is. Now all the people of China are Han people, and the tribes other than the Han people are all Di Yi. Although the Han Dynasty is dead, the country can be said to have thousands of names. Thousands of people share the same surname. When the Xuan family seized the throne of the Han Dynasty, why did all the people in the world surrender and recognize it as their destiny? It was simply because the Xuan family was a descendant of the ancient emperor's surname, so they had the honor of their ancestor's surname.

The Daji established by the Xuan family also died due to the incompetence of the emperor like the Han Dynasty. However, the people of China are still willing to respect the descendants of the Xuan family. This is simply because they do not forget that when the Daji was strong, the rule of Haiyan and Heqing allowed them to live and work in peace and contentment. Fortunately, I am the only descendant of the Xuan family. Thanks to the blessings of my ancestors, I can now enjoy the honor.

But I never dare to forget that since I have received the blessing, I cannot bring shame to my ancestors, and I cannot fail to honor the respect given to the Shenzong clan by my ministers and people. I emulate wise men and good ministers, loyal to the court and admonish them for good governance. Now I know that I still have some role to play in helping our court to win important towns and ensure the peace of the region. I am relieved and ecstatic. My life and death are not important. If I die, I can In exchange for the surname Xuan being respected by the Chinese people forever, I will die in a worthy place and live up to my ancestors and the world. I have no regrets anymore. "

Lord Shenyuandian completely forgot about this bizarre incident that happened in Jiankang Palace. She really hated the endless turmoil and turmoil that happened in the palace for the sake of power. Now her mind was filled with Bashu, which she had never been to. , Hanzhong and Chang'an, these places were once the territory of the Daji Dynasty. Daji's palace is in Chang'an, and her ancestors are buried on the plateau in Weibei. The glory of Daji may never be restored, but Lord Xinsu Taking the old capital of Daji, a chess game of rejuvenation is being planned, and she is proud to be a chess piece on the chess board!

Ying Shu looked into Dian Jun's eyes, which were completely lit up.

There is no more sorrow and sorrow, as if she has never witnessed misery and sorrow in her eyes. Only the brilliance of the sun, moon and stars can temper such a pair of bright eyes. Yingshu even feels ashamed. How could she think that the emperor will hesitate? And are you sad and angry that you will once again be a pawn of the Dayu royal family?

"A Shu doesn't have to take risks with me. The responsibility I shoulder should not be shared by anyone."

"Of course I will accompany you." Yingshu looked into his eyes and smiled: "Unless you don't regard me as a confidant and think that I am not worthy of walking side by side with you."

Lord Shenyuandian was still not good at social talk, and suddenly became anxious: "How could I have such thoughts? But you are different from me, A-Shu. You have parents who cherish you like the apple of their eye. Your grandfather, Linyi Gong thought sheji You have devoted yourself to safety and security, and with your wisdom, you can help the country implement more good governance in the future, so that more people can avoid hunger, despair, and war. Unlike me, you are nothing but this surname."

"I don't want to die with Dianjun." Yingshu straightened her shoulders and raised her cheeks slightly: "Xinsujun's plan is not to exchange the lives of our two women for the important town pass. We have to cooperate with his plan, and also If you want to return to Jiankang safely, no matter what, it is impossible for Mr. Dian to go to the Northern Han Dynasty alone. I am going with Mr. Dian just to reduce risks and ensure success."

Sikong Yuehu's plan had actually impressed Ying Shu. She understood the importance of Longyou, Bashu, Jingxiang and other places to the Great Yu Dynasty. Although Northern Zhao was not good at water warfare, they had never given up on the southern expedition. They had While building warships and training naval forces, Northern Zhao not only besieged Xiangyang once, because as long as they captured Xiangyang, they could build warships and gather naval forces along the Han River, enter the river through the Han River, and approach Jiankang!

Capturing Hanzhong can at least add another barrier to Bashu, preventing the Northern Zhao and Northern Han coalition forces from attacking through the waterway from Jiangzhou, causing Yu to lose sight of one thing. Moreover, if Sikong Yuehu can take this opportunity to simply regain the Guanzhong area, he can even It directly poses a threat to Luoyang and restricts Northern Zhao.

In the previous life, there was no such God-given opportunity. Yizhou had to deploy heavy troops to prevent Di Yi from opening a gap from the southwest and advancing eastward. Therefore, it was impossible to directly eradicate the huge hidden danger of the He clan in Jiangdong. The army led by He Zhi was stationed in Yizhou. The state has been in power for many years and cannot be transferred. Otherwise, if Bashu is lost, Jingxiang will not be protected.

Sikong Yuehu's plan to seize Hanzhong wisely is related to the overall situation, but has nothing to do with usurping power.

Maybe in the previous life, Sikong Yuehu did commit regicide and usurp the throne, but Ying Shu at least believed that he would not value power more than the country, so she could trust Sikong Yuehu this time.

Sikong Yuehu finally received a timely reply from Ying Shu, and he immediately summoned Qi Xiu, a secret advisor. Qi Xiu is currently training in the Chinese Army, and he can be regarded as a subordinate of Lord Xinsu. An occasional visit to Xinsu Mansion will not cause much attention. , but that day, Qi Xiu had just turned from the corridor of the outer courtyard to the corridor of the east road when he saw a woman walking gracefully. He saluted her and said, "Happy blessings." Qi Xiu saw that this woman was not like a maid or a concubine. He was stunned, and then heard the little maid behind the woman say: "This is Mrs. Tian." Qi Xiu felt even more confused. He didn't hear that there was a concubine in Xinsu Mansion, but this one had no status. Concubine, if you don't stay in the house and serve me, why are you walking in the front yard?

Tian met Qi Xiu "by chance", but she admired Qi Langjun's courage very much.

Yong'an Qi is from a famous and high-ranking family. Mr. Qi married the daughter of the Zhang family in Jiangdong, but Zhang Shaojun is also a domineering person. He dared to slap Princess Qinghe! Although Mrs. Zhang has not been divorced yet, it won't be long before Qi Langjun finally makes up his mind to divorce Mrs. Zhang. It is said that the woman Qi Langjun likes is a female actress, but such a humble status can win Qi Lang's wife. Jun's love was so great that he did not hesitate to abandon his wife for her, and Qi Langjun was a person appreciated by His Highness the Fourth Highness.
