[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

Although the smallpox epidemic occurred in the outer cities this year, it was eradicated in time and did not spread to the capital.And the coincidence of this matter has to make people suspicious.Zhu Youtang strictly ordered Jin Yiwei to investigate the prince and the second prince's illness.Jin Yiwei is still in charge of Mou Bin now, only because He Ming's confession found out about Liu's house, and there is no other news. He was so anxious that within two days, there was a ring of blisters on his mouth.

Chen Yun was first demoted and punished because of Ma Ji's incident, and later because of covering up officials' business affairs, he went straight to the end, but he was very skillful in torture, so Mou Bin temporarily asked him to come in to help investigate the case.Chen Yun knew that this was probably his only chance to recover, so he worked extremely hard.

Chen Yun arrested Xia Chunlin's family and interrogated them for a long time. They all said that Xia Chunlin had been practicing medicine outside the home.Chen Yun asked Xia Chunlin if he had any money from unknown sources on weekdays.Mrs. Xia said that the money Xia Chunlin took home was considerable, whether it was a monthly salary, or the traveling expenses for dignitaries and dignitaries, and gifts from various prefectures every year, and there was no difference.

Flies don't bite seamless eggs, Chen Yun doesn't believe that Xia Chunlin is not wrong at all, so he just asked Mrs. Xia to silently write out Xia Chunlin's daily expenses account book.Xia Chunlin's property and money are still sealed. This matter is related to the royal family. No one dares to reach out, and they are still intact.Chen Yun led the members of Jin Yiwei to dig Xia's house three feet, and finally found a hidden compartment under a bluestone floor under the wooden table in Xia Chunlin's study, in which there were thousands of taels of silver and dozens of gold bars in a large wooden box. .

Everyone knew that there was something tricky in it, and showed Madam Xia all these things, but Madam Xia still said she didn't know.Chen Yun was so annoyed that he wanted to hit him again. Xia Chunlin's son said that the night his father hanged himself, he couldn't sleep and went out to walk around. Tianmenfang also said that no outsiders came to visit, so he thought he was wrong.

Since there is such a thing, there is a lot of reason why the prince contracted smallpox.The people who went to investigate the source of the pox also had news.People who contracted smallpox in the outer city were quarantined, and all dead bodies were burned in the isolated place. Xia Chunlin had never been to the outer city, so how could he get the pox? Someone must have brought it out.Starting from here, the people of Jinyiwei found a government servant who was in charge of burning corpses in the epidemic area, and said that someone bought a corpse at a high price, and it should be the pox that was taken from that corpse.The artist drew a portrait of that man again, and posted it on the list of most wanted people in the city.

From this, this matter has a general direction.In the beginning, in order to murder his stepson, Mrs. Zhang smeared the chickenpox seed on the clothes he made, and then tried to bribe Xia Chunlin to prescribe medicine for him indiscriminately, trying to put him to death.Because Liu Dong was called into the palace, Xia Chunlin sent another letter to He Ming.When He Ming got the letter, he prescribed chickenpox medicine to Zhu Houzhao, who had symptoms first. He didn't expect Xia Chunlin to put smallpox in the medicine he applied to Zhu Houzhao's mosquito bites. Zhu Houzhao didn't suffer from chickenpox but smallpox.

But later, someone should have known about this, bought Xia Chunlin with a lot of money, asked him to put something in Zhu Houzhao's place, and asked him to put smallpox in Liu Dong's place, and it was Xiao Zhang who planted the wrong seed in order to harm his stepson. The pox hurt the prince's illusion.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven. Xue Ji is very good at acne. He also went to see the disease in the outer city. He just entered the imperial hospital and saw at a glance that Zhu Houzhao was not chickenpox but smallpox. It broke the people behind the scenes Good trick.Before Xia Chunlin had time to play tricks in Liu's mansion, he was discovered by the people in the palace. In order not to involve himself, the people behind the scenes sent someone to force Xia Chunlin to death, so all the clues were cut off here.The most urgent task is to find out who is behind the scenes.

Chen Yun always suspected that Concubine Shao did it.She has motives and has an old relationship with Xia Chunlin.It's just that Concubine Shao is blind and her health is not good. She is lying on the bed and can't move. Normally speaking, it shouldn't be her.Aunt Shao in front of Concubine Shao also said that Xia Chunlin was always rewarded with official silver made in the palace, and more or less nearly 500 taels of official silver in the palace were also found in Xia Chunlin's house, which is still correct on this point. Up.Without evidence, even the emperor can't do anything to this concubine, let alone Mou Bin and Chen Yun.

Everyone was in a mess, but the Empress Dowager Zhou felt that the opportunity had come.At that time, Zhu Youtang strictly investigated the officials and his relatives' business affairs. Zhang Heling cleverly submitted the pleading papers first, and then broke his arms and handed over some unsightly properties. However, Zhu Youtang stayed overnight and reprimanded him.However, the Zhou family's vitality was seriously injured. Most of the nephews and nephews in the family were implicated and demoted, and the coveted properties of the family had to be taken away.The wall ladder built by Shao's now is not just a chance for the Zhou family's children in Jinyiwei to be promoted.The Shaw Brothers fell, and the vacant spaces in the palace could be taken up by their own radishes.

The Empress Dowager Zhou was always confused about political struggles, but she was very skilled in palace battles.For example, she knew that supporting Concubine Wan Gui was not as rewarding as supporting Zhu Youtang, so she decided to support Zhu Youtang decisively.She knew that Shao shi would definitely have something wrong, so she had been paying attention to her all the time, but now she took advantage of her shortcomings.

Zhou Yao is a small hundred household in Beizhen Fusi. Beizhen Fusi specializes in cases appointed by the emperor. Now, for such a big case as the murder of the prince, the whole department is naturally dispatched.Zhou Yao accepted the letter from his family, and also asked his boss for a patrol job, waiting for the opportunity to catch the hidden clues of King Xingxian in Beijing.The Zhou family has followed this place for several years, and if they don't pick it out, others will pick it up.

Mrs. Zhang was about to give birth, and the imperial doctor said that she was thinking too much about the child she was carrying, and she was afraid that it would be difficult to give birth.She was afraid that something would happen, and now she was lying on the bed, taking good care of her, not daring to move at all.Only then did I know that the two brothers Zhu Houzhao were better, and I was happier, and I also learned from Zhu Youtang that the person who killed his sons was actually someone under his nose.I was so angry that I started it on the spot.

Zhang Shihuai's day was full of disasters and disasters. First of all, because of Zhang Heling and Zhou Yu, kneeling for so long hurt her vitality.He also worried about the illness of Zhu Houzhao's two brothers, and he didn't think about food and drink for more than a month.Zhu Youtang was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and Mrs. Jin, Mrs. Zhang's mother, was also called into the palace.After two days of trouble, a thin princess was born when the strength was exhausted, but the imperial doctor said that she was afraid that it would be difficult to conceive again.

The little princess was born, and because she was really thin and frail, she was afraid of difficulties in feeding her, so she took the nickname of wormwood.Wormwood is lowly and ubiquitous, it is really easy to feed, and it is favored by the god of medicine, so it should be easy to raise.After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao joked to Du Ruo who was on the hospital bed, "This is a good match for you." An angry Du Ruo scratched his itch, but Zhu Houzhao was afraid of his rash, so he didn't dare to fight with him, so he could only beg for mercy. .

Zhou Yao took over all the hidden information about King Xingxian in that tavern, not even a single one of the staff account books was spared.The person who bought the corpse was also found. He had already had smallpox before going there, and the corpse was still in the house in the suburbs of Beijing before being buried in time.The people from Jinyiwei pressed the yamen servant to look at it, and verified that it was the person he handed over to him that day.

Handing over the captured people to Chen Yun, Zhou Yao happily escaped, leaving the matter of offending those officials who had an affair with King Xingxian to others.

Chen Yun has no schools or factions, and Mou Bin is only loyal to the emperor. Naturally, he doesn't care about those who come to intercede, and uses his majesty to suppress them, and has revealed the bottom of these people.It was only then that Zhu Youtang realized how much this brother had added to himself, and how many tricks this Concubine Shao, who didn't care about everything, had done behind her back.

Now Zhu Houzhao and his brothers are still recuperating in the Ciqing Palace. The little princess has just been born, so it’s not good to do more crimes, so I just want to arrest a group of people and wait for them to be sent to Jinyiwei’s prison. Let's do the theory again, and it will not be too late to exile or beheaded.Concubine Shao's Qingyou Palace was also heavily guarded, and the people in the first palace were temporarily imprisoned.

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao handed over the things that Shao had put away in the past as evidence.Du Ruo saw that he dug out some glazed chariots and horses, bright utensils made of lead, various miscellaneous books, and various rare potted plants. It’s musk, crane crimson and the like, and it’s fake. Now I’ve learned a lot.”

Zhu Houzhao also smiled and said: "She is considered smart, and she does these things inconspicuously. If I wasn't what I am now, I might have really been harmed by her."

When the things were brought in front of Zhu Youtang, Zhu Houzhao was afraid that he would not understand, so he wrote explanations one by one.Zhu Youtang couldn't be any more angry, and asked Jiang Cong to take these pickled things away on the spot.That night, Jin Yiwei's team rode Juechen to King Xingxian's fiefdom.

Two days later, news spread from the palace that Concubine Shao had passed away, but neither her posthumous title nor her burial in the imperial tomb was mentioned.Combined with the recent turmoil in the officialdom, everyone knew that Concubine Shao might be doing something bad.All the clans that were originally related to King Xingxian also became uneasy.

On the contrary, Zhou Yao got a compliment for doing business well, and was promoted to a thousand households.It was inconvenient for the Zhang family to take care of things just after giving birth, and now the Empress Dowager Zhou is in charge, and she took up six points of the vacancies of those from the Shao family.Zhou's cronies also made a lot of money in the turbulent officialdom, so they were happy.

In Xingwang's mansion in Anluzhou, Huguang, Zhu Youzhu also sent the doctor away.Turning around and sitting by Jiang's bed, seeing her tearful eyes, I felt a little guilty. "This king is sorry for you. After this matter is over, you will definitely have children."

When Jiang was newly married, she felt that she was married into the royal family, and that the wealth and honor were so dignified. The envious eyes of her sisters seemed to be in heaven.It was only later that I realized how powerful the royal family was. For example, now she had to sacrifice her five-month-old child because of the trumped-up charge of mutilating the emperor's heir.Now that there is no child, I just feel that everything is indifferent and lifeless.

Seeing her blank face, Zhu Youzhu didn't answer, and felt very boring.After comforting me a few times indiscriminately, I told my good mother-in-law and maid to pay attention, and it was over.Pushing the door open, I saw Eunuch Lu and two doormen waiting at the door.
