Chi Ning simply glanced at the timeline.

More than three years ago, Emperor Tianhe and his party mysteriously disappeared on the way to the south of the Yangtze River.

His master, eunuch Zhang, died, and Emperor Tianhe disappeared mysteriously, and went to a place where even Lord Yuan couldn't find it.

Today, Tianhedi is also dead.

[According to this timeline, is it possible that Emperor Tianhe escaped and returned to Beijing secretly? ] Chi Ning was talking to himself in his mind.

He finally understood what the underground secret passage of the waterside pavilion gave him. If Tianhe Emperor managed to return to the suburbs of Beijing, then this must be the best place for him to hide.Emperor Tianhe entered the Shuixie Xiaozhu through the secret passage, and then tried to contact the Empress Dowager or his old ministry from the Shuixie Xiaozhu.

Unfortunately, he died before he could be contacted.

No, no, the greater possibility should be that Tianhedi contacted his own people, but he still died.

There are ghosts.

This also confirms a conspiracy theory that has been widely circulated by Daqi for so many years-the disappearance of Tianhe Emperor was not an accident, but a man-made and deliberate man-made event.

When Tianhedi disappeared, there were actually two kinds of voices inside and outside the court: the doves believed that Tianhedi's disappearance was an accident, an accident that no one wanted to see, but it had already happened, no matter how they checked themselves It is impossible to find the so-called "black hand behind the scenes", which will only waste manpower and material resources, aggravate internal conflicts, and cause everyone to feel insecure; the hawks do not believe in coincidences, and they can talk about coincidences in other matters. In matters such as the disappearance of the emperor, How could it be foolish to believe in any coincidence?Anyone who insists on coincidence is either stupid or bad.

Jing Wang and Wang Yang tend to be more dovish. Their starting point may not be that they really think this is a coincidence, but they just want stability and don't want Daqi's political situation to continue to be turbulent.In private, King Jing never gave up looking for his younger brother.

And Empress Dowager Youqin is undoubtedly a hawk, her brains of fighting for many years, so she can only believe that things happen for a reason, and there are too many people who want to die.

The two factions were at loggerheads, and just when everyone thought the matter would continue to be deadlocked, Mrs. Youqin took a step back, because she would rather let Emperor Nianping ascend the throne temporarily than let her adopted son King Jing become emperor.

Chi Ning can understand the Queen Mother's thinking. She thinks that if Emperor Nianping ascends the throne, after her son Tianhe Emperor is found, it is possible to ascend the Great Treasure again. If King Jing ascends the throne, there is no possibility at all... But , understanding belongs to understanding, emotion belongs to emotion, this is the crux of Chi Ning's treatment of the Queen Mother. The problem they faced at that time was never a battle for the throne, but that people might disappear, so why talk about the throne?

Today's facts have also proved that Chi Ning is correct. If King Jing was enthroned in exchange for full support for the Hawks back then, maybe Tianhe Emperor is still alive and well, and he has been found back long ago.

Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything, Tianhedi was still delayed to death.

Chi Ning also became more determined that the death of Emperor Tianhe was man-made rather than accidental.It is precisely because there may be an internal problem among the supporters of Emperor Tianhe that it is such a coincidence that the emperor here has just disappeared, and the news has been overwhelmed there, and the queen mother is unable to return to heaven, so the officials are so quick to cover their ears This trend pushed Emperor Nianping to ascend the throne.

Is it possible that Emperor Nianping is behind the scenes?Although no matter how you look at him, he is a vested beneficiary in this matter, but, Shu Chi Ning said bluntly, Emperor Nian Ping did not have that IQ.

It would be even more amazing if Emperor Nianping had such an IQ, but was just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger all the time. What is he trying to do?To be despised by others, to be tricked by eunuchs, to be cuckolded by others?

This is not logical.

The normal logic can only be that Emperor Nianping is really stupid, and there are other masters hiding behind the death of Emperor Tianhe.

But another illogical place also arises.If the person behind the scenes is really that powerful, why didn't he become emperor himself instead of letting Emperor Nianping pick the peaches?Is it because the other party is not qualified to be the emperor, or is the other party actually not interested in the throne and just wants revenge?Who is he taking revenge on?Heaven and Emperor?There is Queen Mother Qin?Emperor Su? ...

To be honest, the old Wen family really produced a lot of weird things, did a lot of stupid things, and had a few crazy enemies, which is not surprising at all.

Chi Ning has a terrible headache. There are too many things in it that he can't figure out for the time being. He has clearly grasped the thread, but he still can't solve the whole mystery.

[Can you know who killed Tianhedi? ] Chi Ning can only wait for Yuan Jun's answer.

【have no idea. 】Yuan Jun is also very depressed, there is something he can't help Chi Ning.Logically speaking, he is the only true god in this world, and no power can hide from him.However, this accident happened.

He disappointed Chi Ning.

[It's okay, we will definitely find it. ] Chi Ning is not very disappointed. He has always relied more on himself. Yuan Jun can help him, and he is grateful. Even this method that can hide the truth from Yuan Jun may be a clue.

The power that can hide from Mr. Yuan must be very rare, but it will be very conspicuous.

Chi Ning has no loyalty to Emperor Tianhe. He just thinks that if he finds out who killed Emperor Tianhe, he might be able to find out the truth of the year so that he can avenge his master, Eunuch Zhang.That is his master!

【Will you help me? 】

【certainly. 】

After Chi Ning finished communicating with Yuan Jun, Emperor Nian Ping and the princes and princesses had already entered the topic.

The little prince nervously peeked into the hall in the secret passage, mainly to listen to what Emperor Nian Ping had to say.In fact, nothing major will happen today, at least no one died.The reason why the little prince was so nervous was because after he was reborn, he had repeatedly deliberated, and the only node he could find was this day - Emperor Nian Ping did not know what he did to make all the vassal kings stop supporting him, and he wholeheartedly took refuge in Emperor Nian Ping.

Wen Chen's journey from prince to emperor was not peaceful, many accidents happened, he was even deposed once, and Wen Chen felt that the historical root of Wen Chen's deposed happened today.

Obviously at the previous banquet, the vassal king was still using a clear banner to stand on the prince's side to disgust Emperor Ping.

It didn't make sense for them to realize it all at once, and collectively felt that it was time for Emperor Nian Ping and his stupid son to become emperors.

Wen Chen felt hungry. It must be that Emperor Nianping had mastered something or said something that could change the minds of all the feudal lords overnight.He must know what this thing is.Only in this way can he find a countermeasure so that he will not lose the support of the entire clan again later.To be honest, it was very uncomfortable immediately. All the people he regarded as clan members stood on the opposite side of him.

Seeing Wen Chen's nervous look, Chi Ning knew something would happen today, but what he understood was what kind of murder was going to happen here.

I can't blame Chi Ning for thinking this way. Similar things happened in the previous dynasty. An emperor went crazy and killed all his children on the spot.

The ancients are also human beings, not all of them have high IQs, and not all the struggles are bloody and elegant, there are also pure violence and occasional impulsiveness.It is precisely because of frequent accidents that make history confusing.When people today discuss the ancients, they always tend to go to two extremes. They either speculate that the ancients were so powerful that they destroyed the world, and the masts and oars were wiped out in smoke while talking and laughing, or they despise the ancients, thinking that they have nothing but ignorance and ignorance.

But whether it is an overly high guess or too low an imagination, they are actually playing hooligans, and they did not regard the ancients as a person at all.The real history is the present where anything can happen.

Taking Emperor Nianping's not-so-intelligent little head as an example, he could really do something like gather all the vassal kings together, and then poison them to death.

Chi Ning glanced at Yuan Jun's third child's clothes, and had to say that the preparation was too timely, and if any accident happened, he would arrange for Yuan Jun to rush out to save people.

Not all vassal kings and their families deserve to die, at least Prince Jing's son Wen Huaigu shouldn't have any accidents.

On this day, Jing Wang and Jing Wang's son also arrived. They had not participated in the incense fighting competition before.Originally, Wen Huaigu had agreed with Chi Ning that he would come, but for some reason, Wen Huaigu and Situ Wang did not come.That night, the three of them came together with each other.

In the past three years, King Jing used some tricks to never leave Yongji with his whole family, which was always a thorn in Emperor Nianping's heart.

Every summer, Jing Wang is reluctant to go out, because he is too fat, and no matter how cool he is dressed, he will sweat profusely, and the deep folds of his flesh are full of sweat. He really suffers.But Emperor Nianping issued an order, he had to come, and behind him was a woman who was suspected to be Princess Jing, quiet and beautiful, just like a beauty in a palace costume in a picture of a lady.

Wen Huaigu didn't seem to be in high spirits, and sat in the corner without any sense of presence, being comforted by Situ Wang.

Now that the greetings have already been finished, the perfumer surnamed Wang was brought in directly. He bowed and lit a stream of incense on the uniquely shaped incense burner. In an instant, a sweet and cloying scent wafted in the hall. The smell of extravagance.

Chi Ning is a little far away here, and hasn't smelled much yet.

The other people in the room frowned for the first time, as if they had thought of something terrible.Not only that, Chi Ning also noticed that people with such emotions are often the princes and concubines of the princes. Most of their young children don't know, and they all sit there with blank faces, as if asking, what's wrong with this incense? ?

"Now, can I talk to you alone?" Emperor Nian Ping said to his brothers and sisters.

The princes and princesses all nodded their faces like earth, and drove away their family members and children with an unprecedented attitude, including Prince Jing, who let Wen Huaigu and Situ Wang leave.

When only Prince Wen and the two princesses were left in the room, they all looked at Emperor Nian Ping, and Princess Chang took the lead and asked, "Where did you get this incense?"

Chi Ning finally smelled the scent after unremitting efforts. Although it was very faint, he finally remembered it.

This is Wei Guifei's favorite incense!

In other words, it used to belong to Concubine Wei alone, and it was the fragrance of nightmares that everyone will never forget.Concubine Wei likes to be unique in everything she uses, and the dominance of "only she can use it" has been implemented throughout this woman's life, and the same is true for incense.And wherever she goes, there is no one who is not afraid, because Concubine Wei is not a very good-tempered person, her mood is changeable, cloudy and sunny, and she often loses her temper suddenly for no reason.When the scent on her body is very close to you, it means that she is going to hit you.

This severe beating is often impossible to dodge, and being kicked and kicked is a common occurrence, even the sons and daughters of dragons and phoenixes cannot escape.In the Daqi Palace back then, almost no one was not afraid of this crazy woman.

Chi Ning had just entered the palace that year, and took a letter from an old man in the village to join Zhang Jingzhong's sect, but he hadn't officially become Zhang Jingzhong's apprentice. He first learned the palace rules from a rather strict old man.

Compared with other old eunuchs who have gone completely abnormal, the old man can already be regarded as a good one. At least he will not deliberately torture people, nor will he use different tricks to move his hands and feet.His only shortcoming is that he is too strict, firmly believes in the principle that a filial son is born under a stick, and loves to beat people very much. No matter how clever Chi Ning is, he has been beaten several times.

But there was a saying at the time: "If you feel that Eunuch Zheng beats others, it must be because you have never learned how powerful Concubine Wei is."

With the help of Shenmu, Chi Ning was lucky enough to escape Concubine Wei several times, but there were people around him who were not so lucky.

In Daqi law, it is not allowed to abuse servants.

But what good is that?

The law is the law, and Concubine Wei is Concubine Wei.Chi Ning was really too young back then, and he was still aggrieved. He asked for his dead companion what happened that day.But no one can say exactly what the dead servant did wrong. All he knows is that he seemed to be walking through the palace road normally, and was suddenly beaten when he was making way for Concubine Wei's sedan chair.

Such an unprepared shot is really terrifying.It's no wonder that the faces of the princes and princesses in the room all changed, presumably they must have been tortured by Concubine Wei like this back then.

"What on earth do you want to do?!" One of the princes couldn't sit still anymore, trying to hide his fear with a stern look.

Emperor Nian Ping just asked in an unhurried manner: "Do you know that this incense has other functions besides incense?"
