The family has a throne to inherit
Chapter 49
It was also a coincidence. As the crown prince, Situ Yu had almost no chance to leave the palace. However, this day was the birthday of the Empress Yuan. Thinking of the decline of the Empress Yuan's mother clan, Situ Yu was inevitably a little depressed.Before Kang Guogong’s mansion was convicted and the Guogong’s mansion was confiscated, the Holy Majesty thought about the relationship between husband and wife back then, thinking that the former residence of the Empress Yuan was still in the Kang Guogong’s mansion (Kang Guogong’s mansion was not an additional mansion given by the Holy Majesty, but was originally the house of the Empress Yuan’s natal family. As the center, he asked people to move the nearby houses, which were later expanded), and simply gave the Kang Guogong Mansion to the prince.
Situ Yu thought about the Empress Yuan, so she begged the Holy Majesty to go out of the palace to worship at the former residence of the Empress Yuan. This was originally filial piety, and the Holy Majesty naturally agreed.However, Situ Yu, a crown prince, would be too ostentatious if he wanted to leave the palace blatantly. Therefore, only some people were asked to follow, while others secretly protected Situ Yu from leaving the palace.
Situ Yu paid homage in the boudoir of Empress Yuan before she left the pavilion, and was not in a hurry to return to the palace. She decided to take a walk outside, but in a restaurant, she met a man.
This person looks talented, and looks like a young talent.Most people are visual creatures, don't say that a good-looking skin is worthless. In fact, a good-looking skin can make people willing to listen to your interesting soul. Therefore, because of his handsome appearance, that young man is very It easily caught Situ Yu's attention.
In addition to his outstanding appearance, this young man is well-spoken and elegant. It can be seen that he has experienced a good education, and his bearing is quite dignified.As the crown prince, Situ Yu has met almost most of the young talents in Beijing. If there are such outstanding people, then he will definitely have an impression, but since he has no such impression, this person should naturally come from another place.
This young man claimed his surname was Xu, and his first name was Ziwei. Situ Yu had a very pleasant conversation with him. Hearing that he is currently traveling around the world and plans to take part in the next exam, he was even more impressed. He even thought about it. James Mansion has reserved a place for this Xu Ziwei.
Situ Yu didn't reveal his identity, Xu Ziwei expressed that he and Situ Yu hit it off right away, he took off a folding fan from his waist and gave it to Situ Yu, and Situ Yu simply gave back the folding fan he was carrying with him to Xu Ziwei, and then returned to the palace .
After returning to the palace, Situ Yu untied the fan cover and took out the folding fan.The folding fan looks very exquisite. Although the fan is not painted by any famous artist, it looks quite tricky. After enjoying it for a while, Situ Yu looked at the seal on the fan. He couldn't help being a little funny, but he quickly realized the weirdness. He read Xu Ziwei's name again, but it was Wei Zixu who turned out to be Wei Zixu.
Situ Yu immediately felt that he had been fooled, but he quickly realized that he looked at the folding fan carefully, but he couldn't see anything for a while, he hesitated, and he looked at the sky , Directly ordered: "Go, invite Enhou to enter the palace!"
In Jia She's life, in the Four Books and Five Classics, he is only one step away from being ignorant, but when it comes to appreciating gold, stone and antiques, he is no worse than those who have been immersed for many years. There is no way, he came into contact with Whether it is at home or in the palace, there are too many good things to see.
Therefore, when Situ Yu wanted to find out the problem with the folding fan, the first thing he thought of was Jia Amnesty.Jia She came over impatiently, and asked as soon as he entered the door: "Your Highness, what is the urgent call?" The eunuch who passed the message in the past only said that the prince summoned him, but didn't say what it was. Jia She still didn't know what happened. As for the matter, he simply rode directly to the palace gate and walked in quickly.
Situ Yu handed over the folding fan and said, "Enhou, look at this!"
Jia She's eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled: "Your Highness knows me, so you think of me all the time! Uh, Your Highness, you must have been deceived!" As soon as Jia She opened it, he found that it was nothing. The ancient fan, the paper used for the fan is Goryeo paper, the paper is old, and the ink is also good ink, Jia She heard it, and sighed: "The ink is thick and thick, and it is also mixed with gold powder and ice flakes. It smells like it should have been made during the Guanghua period of the previous dynasty, which is very rare!"
Situ Yu narrowed his eyes, and then asked: "Enhou, can you see what articles are hidden in this folding fan?"
When Jia She heard it, he immediately understood Situ Yu's meaning. Immediately, he went to the window with the folding fan, opened the window, and began to check it against the sunlight. , and then said: "I feel that there are some problems with the bones of this folding fan, and the weight seems to be inconsistent with the other bones!"
Situ Yu snorted coldly and said, "Open it and have a look!"
Since it's not an ancient fan, although the painting skills are not bad, Jia Shen doesn't have much pressure to destroy it.However, out of his consistent emphasis on these kinds of playthings, he still asked the palace servants of the East Palace to prepare some materials, then fetched water to clean his hands, and carefully lifted the fan surface from the fan bones as a whole, and then discovered the problem Jia She said. On some of the fan bones, some handwriting was engraved with a fine needle. Jia Amnesty and Situ Yu saw it and immediately knew that this matter was a big deal.
"Oh, the remnants of the previous dynasty?" The Holy Majesty looked at the thin lines of handwriting on the fan bone, and suddenly sneered.How many years have passed since the previous dynasty died, and there are still remnants?
Back then, when the Taizu established the empire, the last emperor of the previous dynasty brought a group of concubines and children to hold fire against him. In the end, the imperial court selected an honest and obedient one from the clan of the previous dynasty, adopted him to the last emperor, and then made him a marquis. , hereditary, has been guarding the imperial mausoleum of the former dynasty, of course, has been under the surveillance of the imperial court, and has no real power except for the title of Marquis.
Now a group of people claiming to be descendants of the former prince suddenly appeared, which is interesting.
The fan bone is narrow, and I can't write a few words. It is probably not convenient for that person to write more. Therefore, I just wrote a few short keywords, which is enough to alert people. These people have been lurking until now, why are they showing up now coming?
? "Go and investigate!" The Holy Majesty ordered swiftly and resolutely.
That Xu Ziwei obviously didn't intend to hide his whereabouts, he almost showed his face openly, and then the people from the Imperial City Department entered the palace as quickly as possible, because he said that he was only willing to treat the emperor and the emperor. said the prince.
When he arrived at the Imperial Study Room, Xu Ziwei tidied up his clothes and saluted calmly: "Xiaomin Liang Xueyan pays homage to His Majesty, His Majesty has a long life, and pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness Jin'an!"
"Not Xu Ziwei anymore?" The Holy One said flatly.
Liang Xueyan said calmly: "Xiaomin's surname is Liang, and he was originally from Jinan, Shandong. Xiaomin was taken away when he was four years old. They said that Xiaomin is the descendant of the former prince!" With a mocking look on his face, he said, "They said swearingly that I was picked up from the side of the road after my parents' son died. At first, Xiaomin believed it, and I was very angry about it! Until I saw that A true former crown prince!"
Liang Xueyan showed a cold expression: "I am five points similar to that right master. If I modify it a little bit, I will be eight points similar. No wonder I was found out!"
Situ Yu said coldly: "How do you prove that you are a substitute and not the real master?"
Liang Xueyan said directly: "Of course I can know that the direct descendants of the Wei family are born different. They will have a bright red birthmark on their bodies, which usually appears on the chest. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be able to determine my identity!"
The Holy Majesty is not clear about this. After all, such secrets of the previous dynasty are generally circulated within the royal family and will not be clearly recorded in the history books. However, if you want to know, you can still trace it out. There will be clues in the records of the Emperor's Mansion. As for asking about the Marquis of Shun'an who has been keeping watch for the former royal family, he was originally picked from a side branch, and they probably don't know the inside story.
Therefore, the Holy Majesty did not fully believe it, but just nodded, signaling Liang Xueyan to continue.
Liang Xueyan also knew that it was impossible for him to be trusted with empty words, but he continued: "After learning about this, Xiaomin began to trace his own background. Although Xiaomin was young when he was taken away, but There is still a little memory left, and through this memory, Xiaomin found out his hometown, even found the family tree, and knew Xiaomin's name!"
As Liang Xueyan said, the expression on his face became more and more gloomy: "They took me away, and then created a big fire, killing my family members, including my parents, my grandmother who lived with my parents, my sister-in-law, and A sister who is five years older than me!"
There were already tears in Liang Xueyan's eyes: "It's fine if they ruined me, they also ruined my family. My family is completely gone. So, what worries do I have?"
The Holy One knocked on the table, and said, "Tell me, what do you know!"
Liang Xueyan licked his lips, with a morbid blush on his face, and said, "They want to restore the former dynasty! In fact, it may not be the Wei family who want to do this, but a group of veterans from the former dynasty!" Liang Xueyan As he spoke, the expression on his face twisted, and he continued: "Xiaomin's nominal father was also forced to death by those people, and he didn't want to be restored at all! When the former dynasty fell, the prince was rescued by his confidants. Gong, he has property and household registration, and found a remote place where he can comfortably become a rich man, so why would he want to restore the country? Not to mention, the prince’s status was also very embarrassing back then!"
The people present all knew a little bit that the last emperor of the previous dynasty was a mediocre person. In fact, at the end of the dynasty, the emperor's aptitude often could not change the problem. The first emperor was Emperor Tianshun, who had only two sons, but never had a grandson. Later, he directly stated that whoever had a grandson first among the two sons would be the prince.
The last emperor took advantage of this light and became the prince, and his son was the prince who escaped death.
The Last Emperor is not a person with profound wisdom and outstanding talents. If it was a peaceful and prosperous age, he would have no problem being a conservative lord with his temperament. But when the world is in chaos, the courtiers have their own ideas. Many things are also indifferent, or in other words, he feels powerless, so he just let it go.
There were loyal ministers in the previous dynasty who came to remonstrate, and the last emperor directly said: "The world is not dead, and I am happy. If the world is dead, I will die for the country, and it is not a loss anyway!" He said so, so naturally made.
When the last emperor was still a prince, he had a concubine who was obedient to him, but this concubine never had a son, and the last emperor had only one son until he ascended the throne. Queen.
However, after a few years, the concubine who had been canonized as a noble concubine became pregnant, and the imperial doctor diagnosed her as a son, so the noble concubine became unwilling.This noble concubine was not of high birth, and she had little knowledge, and she didn't understand many things at all. Therefore, she thought that since the emperor doted on her, then, if she had a son, she should hand over the throne to her son, and she didn't Satisfied with being a noble concubine, she also wants to be a queen. After all, no matter how majestic the noble concubine sounds, she is just a concubine who can only be buried in the concubine's mausoleum in the future, but the queen, as the official wife, can be buried in the imperial mausoleum with the emperor middle.
Therefore, relying on the piece of meat in her stomach, she brazenly led a group of people to the Le'an Palace where the queen lived at that time, and directly strangled the queen to death with a white silk!
Such things can be said to be outrageous. After all, as a concubine, killing the Queen of the Palace is not much different from being a regicide.However, Emperor Mo doted on her and covered up the matter, only saying that the queen died of a sudden illness.
This kind of thing had to be concealed from people who didn't know the truth. There were ministers in the court who expressed that they wanted to declare the official punishment, but they were directly thrown into the prison by the last emperor, and they died that night. They are very pessimistic about the future of the imperial court, and now they are even more reluctant to say anything.
But this matter can make others shut up, but the prince can't explain it.The last emperor wanted to take advantage of the trend to abolish the crown prince, but the problem was that he had no other sons, so he couldn't abolish the crown prince and pass the throne to his nephew, so he decided to wait until the imperial concubine gave birth to a son, and then directly abolish the crown prince and let the imperial concubine do it. The queen, and then canonized the younger son as the prince.
People are not as good as heaven, but the imperial concubine gave birth to a princess, so in the end, the matter of abolishing the prince can only be dragged on.That imperial concubine was still canonized as a queen. Anyway, she could give birth to the first one, and she could also give birth to the second one. Therefore, she didn't like the prince no matter what, and wished she could kill him soon.
No matter how frantic the last emperor was, he could not kill his only son. However, he also felt that because of the death of the former empress, his son had thoughts in his mind. Imprisoned in the East Palace, waiting for the new queen to give birth to a son, he is useless.
The new empress did give birth to a son, but it was a pity that he was a little weak, and he might die in a short time. Therefore, just to be on the safe side, the position of the eldest son, the prince, had to continue to be occupied. This occupation was the end of the previous dynasty. when.
At the beginning, the last emperor said that he would die for the country immediately after the country was destroyed. He was also a man of his word, so he quickly called all the members of the royal family together, asked his confidantes to lock the door, and set himself on fire. The whole family went neatly.
However, that prince was not a fool. He felt that he had never enjoyed the benefits of being a prince. Why should he be buried with this dynasty? However, I packed a lot of gold and silver from the East Palace, and then pretended to be a court lady, and ran away directly while the war was in turmoil.
This is a person who is aware of current affairs. He pretended to be someone else's household registration, and then found a relatively remote place to settle down. From the beginning to the end, he had no intention of restoring the country, and even his descendants did not know his own background.
It stands to reason that this kind of thing is over, and there are still some old ministers from the previous dynasty.The previous dynasty was corrupt, even if these people sold the previous dynasty in a package, they would not be able to sell it for a good price, and their interests were seriously damaged after the establishment of the new dynasty. Many people in their families died during the dynasty change, so , Some people have the idea of restoring the country, among other things, under such a banner, there are many things they can do.
However, if you want to restore the country, you must have a benchmark. The Marquis of Shun'an conferred by the imperial court is obviously not good.
They have already integrated into the local area, and they are even considered to be some well-known big families in the local area. When the world is peaceful, a fool will listen to the words of these so-called loyal ministers and do some tricks to restore the country.
How could this group of people be so easy to give up, so they just kept doing nothing and got people away.
In the end, that person was also stubborn, and he wanted to report to the officials. After all, he also thought clearly that the previous dynasty had been destroyed for so long, and the world had settled down. They belonged to the former royal family who were rich and wealthy, so their family really wouldn't suffer much damage, at most it was just like the adopted clan, being watched.
When the gang of conspirators heard this, they actually killed people, leaving only the youngest one, and then instilled in him the saying that their fathers and grandparents were determined to restore the country, and were discovered and killed by the court, and then they thought about children It was easy to die young, and he was afraid that it would not be safe, so he simply brought Liang Xueyan over again.
When Liang Xueyan said this, he sneered: "These people are talking about loyalty, but they are using the restoration of the country as a cover to achieve their own interests. Maybe, if they really succeed in the restoration of the country, they will still play A trick of abdication, and replace it by myself!"
The Holy Majesty also heard it inconceivable, these people are too courageous, on what basis do they think they can restore the country, just because of their method of killing people without blinking an eye, and this trick of substitute?
Liang Xueyan said bluntly: "No, they have been cultivating dead soldiers secretly, and they have colluded with many officials. They should also have a strong armed force in their hands. However, Xiaomin was originally a substitute they trained, so I don't know the specific situation, and Xiaomin thinks that even the righteous master probably doesn't know!"
"Sad warriors?" His Majesty immediately had an association when he heard it, and then asked, "Then do you know how they train dead warriors?"
Liang Xueyan hesitated and said: "It seems that they have made a kind of poison, which needs to be taken regularly. If there is no antidote, the other party will scratch their hearts and lungs, run down their noses, and lose their minds. I have seen them punish a person once. The dead soldier who failed to complete the task and tried to escape, the one who couldn't survive in the end, just couldn't die, lying there like a dead dog, begging for an antidote!"
The Holy Majesty immediately understood that it was opium. He immediately connected these clues. Before, he felt that those people had far-reaching plans, but now combined with Liang Xueyan's statement, they actually want to use such unappealable means to restore the country?
Situ Yu suddenly asked, "Have you ever taken that kind of opium?"
Liang Xueyan shook his head and said, "No, they always thought that Xiaomin didn't know anything. In name, Xiaomin was their lord. How could they give Xiaomin some opium!"
The Holy Majesty said meaningfully: "Not necessarily, I should tell you that the so-called poison is actually not a poison, but opium. A small amount of opium can cure diseases, but more will lead to addiction. If you can't satisfy your addiction , it will happen!"
Liang Xueyan's complexion changed suddenly, he was not sure, but the Holy Majesty laughed, and directly sent someone to call the imperial physician, and said: "You don't have to worry, I know far more than you think, I have been working with you before Investigate □□ There is also the matter of the dead man you mentioned, but I didn’t know the origin and purpose of the person behind the scenes before, but now I understand, and I know where to go to investigate! You don’t have to worry I don't care if your surname is Liang or Wei, since you think you are a citizen of Jin, then I will trust you and protect you!"
Liang Xueyan quickly kowtowed his thanks, the Holy Majesty looked at him, and really felt that he was destined by destiny, otherwise why did this side fall into a stalemate, and someone came to inform him over there!
Soon, the imperial doctor came, and the emperor asked the imperial doctor to give Liang Xueyan a diagnosis. The diagnosis made Liang Xueyan startled: "This young man should have eaten some food cooked with poppy shells. Opium comes from poppy fruit. After adding poppy husks to the food, it can add umami taste, but it can also be addictive. Fortunately, this young man does not take too much, and the time is not too long. Go back and take care of it , don’t touch poppy products in the future, there won’t be any problems!”
Liang Xueyan's complexion became even more difficult to look at. He really thought highly of those people's integrity, and the resentment in his heart was even stronger now. He was brought up by those people, so he was naturally affected a lot. He said that he is an egoist. Although he resented that his family was killed, he was still young when he was taken away, and he didn't have too deep feelings for his family. He really wanted to resist because he knew One is a counterfeit, and now, the other party obviously doesn't want to let him go, trying to use opium to control himself, Liang Xueyan can't bear it even more.
He didn't suspect that the imperial physician lied to him, it was unnecessary at all, and according to the imperial physician, he had already discovered the abnormality. In the place where he lived, the food he ate felt very delicious in the mouth, and the food he ate in other places , but he didn’t feel this way, instead it made him feel dull. He used to think it was a matter of cooking skills. After all, the cook on his side was definitely not an ordinary cook, but now he knows that it is completely poppy shell He has been eating this kind of food for more than a year, and Liang Xueyan can't help but shudder when he thinks of the dead man who blew his head so badly that he is almost out of shape. He shuddered, if one day he fell to this point, he might as well die.
Situ Yu couldn't help but sympathize with Liang Xueyan. He was really unlucky. Hearing his name, one could tell that he was also from a scholarly family. But because of his appearance, he was stolen, and now he is even more so. He was so poisoned, he thought for a while, looked at the sage, and said, "Father, since this is the case, we must also prevent those remnants of the previous dynasty from jumping over the wall and killing people to silence them. How should Mr. Liang be arranged?"
Naturally, the Holy Majesty can't do anything to Liang Xueyan. After all, he took the risk to inform you. You must have a certain reward, otherwise, who will do this in the future?Therefore, the Holy Majesty pondered for a while and said, "Liang Xueyan, you should also know that your contribution this time is actually not very easy to show clearly!"
Liang Xueyan nodded, and said, "Your Majesty is wise, Xiaomin doesn't want to bear this name, and there will be no peace in the future!"
The Holy Majesty said directly: "Forget it, I will create a false impression later, making those people think that your whereabouts have been leaked, and the people serving you there will directly kill people to silence the secrets in order to prevent leaks! And you, you can't show up for the time being. After that, if you don't If you are willing to change your name and surname, I can also let you return to your own family. There will be no problem for you to become an official in the imperial examination in the future! If you don’t want to return to the family, I can also give you a new identity, as long as you have enough talents , I don't mind using you, understand?"
Liang Xueyan thought about it silently in his heart. It seems that the Holy Majesty did not give a clear reward, but this is a good thing. It means that he has a name with the Holy Majesty, and he will definitely run faster than those who stand on the same starting line in the future .He pondered for a while, and immediately hesitated about returning to the Liang family in Jinan. In the final analysis, the reason why his parents passed away was because he looked quite similar to the real former prince. After he returned, Without immediate relatives such as parents, would the family really accept him?Will you be willing to train him?These are all problems.
Liang Xueyan had carefully inquired about the situation of the Liang family. The Liang family was indeed a rich family in the local area. Liang Xueyan's father was a scholar back then, and the family also had a lot of land. After their deaths, these fields were taken back by the clan, and most of them ended up falling apart. In the hands of those big families in the clan.And the Liang family has produced one Juren and four scholars over the years, and they are also very influential in the local area. The resources in the family have almost been divided by that Juren and several other scholars. Even if Liang Xueyan is conceited about his talents, he Following those people in the previous dynasty, although they read a lot of books, they didn't learn anything about the imperial examination. Therefore, without the support of the family, would he be a rich man for the rest of his life?He is not reconciled to this.
Therefore, after some hesitation, Liang Xueyan directly chose the second path.
The Holy Majesty was obviously not surprised by his choice. His Majesty knew Liang Xueyan's character after he said a few words before, and he was not the kind of person willing to be mediocre. I will arrange a parentage for you, just wait for a few days!"
Situ Yu asked, "Father, what about during this time?"
Seeing Situ Yu's appearance, the Holy Majesty couldn't help laughing. He had discovered before that Situ Yu obviously admired Liang Xueyan, and Liang Xueyan was not incompetent. If he was willing to help Situ Yu, he should be able to bring a lot to the East Palace. The Holy Majesty is happy to see the results, after all, if a person like Liang Xueyan is not under his nose, who knows what he can do.
The Holy Majesty said directly: "Isn't your seventh brother's palace under construction? Tell him to stay with your seventh brother for a few days first, and I will make arrangements later!"
Liang Xueyan felt relieved, and immediately kowtowed and thanked Situ Yu again. Seeing the way the Holy Majesty looked, it was indeed not in the posture of killing someone to silence him.
Situ Jin didn't know at all that there was an extra person in the palace that he hadn't built yet. After all, there was an order from the sage and the order from the prince. Anyway, this person just lived in a room in the corner for a few days. Entering the main courtyard and the main courtyard, what is there to say, usually, many people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs live in those places!
The Holy Majesty acted resolutely. On the same day, the small courtyard where Liang Xueyan lived caught fire. Those people like to make things like water leakage. up.
After the fire was extinguished, according to the traces deliberately left by the people of the Imperial City Division, those people could easily make a wrong judgment.That is, Liang Xueyan met the prince during the daytime, and the prince wanted to recruit him, and then someone came forward to investigate, probably sent by the sage, they were guilty of thieves, thinking they had been discovered, and the servants in the yard wanted to take Liang Xueyan to escape, but It was too late, so he didn't do anything at all, and killed Liang Xueyan directly, and then committed suicide. Before committing suicide, he set a fire and burned all the remaining clues.
Those people also revealed the dead body made by the government from the government. It is suspected that the fatal wound on Liang Xueyan's body was a knife in the chest, which directly pierced the heart. The others had already taken poison before, and the fire had not had time Died, and inhaled a lot of smoke.
In the end, the government came to the conclusion that the acquaintance committed the crime. Someone first poisoned the food, but one of them found something wrong before he could eat it. The whole house was set on fire, and the drug addiction started to kick in at this time, and some people wanted to escape but it was too late.
The judgment made by the government on the bright side also seems to be very logical. Looking at the number of corpses, it is not a big problem, after all, there is not a single one missing.It's just that, for these remnants of the previous dynasty, they can't just regret the death of a double at this time, they must be prepared to be found abnormal.I don't know what the problem was discovered by the people who found this yard before, so that the people in the yard had to commit suicide in order not to be taken away, but obviously, the other party should have discovered some abnormalities, and even found some sensitive things. Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a mess.After this incident becomes serious, even if the government will only pursue the murderer and arsonist on the surface, in fact, they will definitely trace the origin of this courtyard secretly.
Therefore, this group of people is now in a state of desperation, and they have hibernated their original routes in the capital, hoping to hide for a while, and resume their actions when the other party's pursuit is not so strong.
It is a pity that they underestimated the court's ability to respond.In the past, the court was in the light and they were in the dark. Therefore, the court has never found anything wrong. Now that the court has grasped the clues, it is very difficult to continue to hide in secret, especially when there is Liang Xueyan here.Although Liang Xueyan looked like a puppet to them, he actually knew a lot of things. Therefore, before these people had time to clean up their tails, the Imperial City Secretary and Jin Yiwei jointly dispatched to pull out their stronghold in Beijing. For the most part, Liang Xueyan didn't know the rest.
Now, no matter how stupid they are, they know that someone has leaked the secret.They didn't think of Liang Xueyan, after all, they always thought that Liang Xueyan was a puppet, thinking that Liang Xueyan didn't know much, but in fact, Liang Xueyan knew more than they thought, and even some of them The top management may not know more than Liang Xueyan.
This group of people was originally connected by interests. In fact, for them, the restoration of the country is just a relatively distant goal. Many of them are now actually relying on this so-called restoration of the country. The way of organization is to seek benefits for oneself.
For example, the dead men they planted in the backyards of officials and dignitaries can always pass on some key news, and they can easily profit from it. They bring enough benefits.
They can use less effort to obtain more benefits. They have a foundation overseas and have sufficient strength to protect their own interests at sea. Therefore, it is good if they can restore the country. If not, use this banner , can also seek enough benefits for their own family. Under such circumstances, if there is anything else to say, let’s continue. Maybe, they will really be able to change the throne and change the dynasty in the future!
Now that we have encountered setbacks, it is obvious that some things have leaked out, many strongholds have been breached, and the people inside have become captives. Maybe someone here knows the secret of the so-called opium. It is very difficult for people to keep secrets.Anyone who has seen the power of opium knows that when they are addicted, even if they just give them a little hope, they would like to betray their eighteen generations of ancestors, let alone them.
As a result, many of these people became flustered. Their own family members knew about their own affairs and had been in business for many years, so they could only make small fuss in secret.
They have seen the changes in the world in the past few years. Even if there is any drought or flood, the court has never experienced famine. On the contrary, it is now in a situation of excess food production, and there is so much food It can be used to make spirits. Under such circumstances, it is completely unrealistic to expect the people to rebel. I am afraid that as soon as their banner is raised, a group of people will jump out first and want to arrest them. The government is gone.
This is not a joke, just like the White Lotus Sect that has existed since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, this religious organization has always had a lot of latent power among the people. Every dynasty is trying to crack down on the White Lotus Sect, but this organization has been thriving. It can even be said to be thriving.
But in the past few years, the White Lotus Sect has obviously failed. The common people have enough to eat and warm clothes. Even if they are sick, they still have money to see a doctor. The advanced farming methods from Shennongzhuang also emphasize intensive farming. , and the abundant crops also make these farmers not rest much throughout the year. What's more, the imperial court wants to make soil and chemical fertilizers, and has been buying raw materials from the people at a low price. When various workshops appear in the future, even if there is slack time, everyone will be busy working. Who has the time to pay homage to Our Lady of the White Lotus? Imagine a vacuum hometown?
Therefore, when the White Lotus Sect wanted to cause trouble before, they were immediately informed. A incense master of the White Lotus Sect shouted "The Virgin of the White Lotus, Home of the Vacuum", and was immediately picked up by someone with a hoe, smashed his head, and turned him away. Arrived at the Yamen.The White Lotus Sect was severely hit because of this, and the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus was arrested and sentenced by Ming Zhengdian.
Such a deep-rooted organization as the White Lotus Sect is like this, let alone people like them, who don't know who they are!After the dignified prince, he said that he was unwilling to rebel and wanted to inform him, so he killed him directly. If they wanted to say that they were loyal to the previous dynasty, that would be complete bullshit. They were loyal to themselves and their family. The king dominates, who is willing to ruin the wonderful life now?
Therefore, after something happened, everyone became panicked. Some who did not reveal their identities in reality were calm, but some who had shown their faces became anxious
Situ Yu thought about the Empress Yuan, so she begged the Holy Majesty to go out of the palace to worship at the former residence of the Empress Yuan. This was originally filial piety, and the Holy Majesty naturally agreed.However, Situ Yu, a crown prince, would be too ostentatious if he wanted to leave the palace blatantly. Therefore, only some people were asked to follow, while others secretly protected Situ Yu from leaving the palace.
Situ Yu paid homage in the boudoir of Empress Yuan before she left the pavilion, and was not in a hurry to return to the palace. She decided to take a walk outside, but in a restaurant, she met a man.
This person looks talented, and looks like a young talent.Most people are visual creatures, don't say that a good-looking skin is worthless. In fact, a good-looking skin can make people willing to listen to your interesting soul. Therefore, because of his handsome appearance, that young man is very It easily caught Situ Yu's attention.
In addition to his outstanding appearance, this young man is well-spoken and elegant. It can be seen that he has experienced a good education, and his bearing is quite dignified.As the crown prince, Situ Yu has met almost most of the young talents in Beijing. If there are such outstanding people, then he will definitely have an impression, but since he has no such impression, this person should naturally come from another place.
This young man claimed his surname was Xu, and his first name was Ziwei. Situ Yu had a very pleasant conversation with him. Hearing that he is currently traveling around the world and plans to take part in the next exam, he was even more impressed. He even thought about it. James Mansion has reserved a place for this Xu Ziwei.
Situ Yu didn't reveal his identity, Xu Ziwei expressed that he and Situ Yu hit it off right away, he took off a folding fan from his waist and gave it to Situ Yu, and Situ Yu simply gave back the folding fan he was carrying with him to Xu Ziwei, and then returned to the palace .
After returning to the palace, Situ Yu untied the fan cover and took out the folding fan.The folding fan looks very exquisite. Although the fan is not painted by any famous artist, it looks quite tricky. After enjoying it for a while, Situ Yu looked at the seal on the fan. He couldn't help being a little funny, but he quickly realized the weirdness. He read Xu Ziwei's name again, but it was Wei Zixu who turned out to be Wei Zixu.
Situ Yu immediately felt that he had been fooled, but he quickly realized that he looked at the folding fan carefully, but he couldn't see anything for a while, he hesitated, and he looked at the sky , Directly ordered: "Go, invite Enhou to enter the palace!"
In Jia She's life, in the Four Books and Five Classics, he is only one step away from being ignorant, but when it comes to appreciating gold, stone and antiques, he is no worse than those who have been immersed for many years. There is no way, he came into contact with Whether it is at home or in the palace, there are too many good things to see.
Therefore, when Situ Yu wanted to find out the problem with the folding fan, the first thing he thought of was Jia Amnesty.Jia She came over impatiently, and asked as soon as he entered the door: "Your Highness, what is the urgent call?" The eunuch who passed the message in the past only said that the prince summoned him, but didn't say what it was. Jia She still didn't know what happened. As for the matter, he simply rode directly to the palace gate and walked in quickly.
Situ Yu handed over the folding fan and said, "Enhou, look at this!"
Jia She's eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled: "Your Highness knows me, so you think of me all the time! Uh, Your Highness, you must have been deceived!" As soon as Jia She opened it, he found that it was nothing. The ancient fan, the paper used for the fan is Goryeo paper, the paper is old, and the ink is also good ink, Jia She heard it, and sighed: "The ink is thick and thick, and it is also mixed with gold powder and ice flakes. It smells like it should have been made during the Guanghua period of the previous dynasty, which is very rare!"
Situ Yu narrowed his eyes, and then asked: "Enhou, can you see what articles are hidden in this folding fan?"
When Jia She heard it, he immediately understood Situ Yu's meaning. Immediately, he went to the window with the folding fan, opened the window, and began to check it against the sunlight. , and then said: "I feel that there are some problems with the bones of this folding fan, and the weight seems to be inconsistent with the other bones!"
Situ Yu snorted coldly and said, "Open it and have a look!"
Since it's not an ancient fan, although the painting skills are not bad, Jia Shen doesn't have much pressure to destroy it.However, out of his consistent emphasis on these kinds of playthings, he still asked the palace servants of the East Palace to prepare some materials, then fetched water to clean his hands, and carefully lifted the fan surface from the fan bones as a whole, and then discovered the problem Jia She said. On some of the fan bones, some handwriting was engraved with a fine needle. Jia Amnesty and Situ Yu saw it and immediately knew that this matter was a big deal.
"Oh, the remnants of the previous dynasty?" The Holy Majesty looked at the thin lines of handwriting on the fan bone, and suddenly sneered.How many years have passed since the previous dynasty died, and there are still remnants?
Back then, when the Taizu established the empire, the last emperor of the previous dynasty brought a group of concubines and children to hold fire against him. In the end, the imperial court selected an honest and obedient one from the clan of the previous dynasty, adopted him to the last emperor, and then made him a marquis. , hereditary, has been guarding the imperial mausoleum of the former dynasty, of course, has been under the surveillance of the imperial court, and has no real power except for the title of Marquis.
Now a group of people claiming to be descendants of the former prince suddenly appeared, which is interesting.
The fan bone is narrow, and I can't write a few words. It is probably not convenient for that person to write more. Therefore, I just wrote a few short keywords, which is enough to alert people. These people have been lurking until now, why are they showing up now coming?
? "Go and investigate!" The Holy Majesty ordered swiftly and resolutely.
That Xu Ziwei obviously didn't intend to hide his whereabouts, he almost showed his face openly, and then the people from the Imperial City Department entered the palace as quickly as possible, because he said that he was only willing to treat the emperor and the emperor. said the prince.
When he arrived at the Imperial Study Room, Xu Ziwei tidied up his clothes and saluted calmly: "Xiaomin Liang Xueyan pays homage to His Majesty, His Majesty has a long life, and pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness Jin'an!"
"Not Xu Ziwei anymore?" The Holy One said flatly.
Liang Xueyan said calmly: "Xiaomin's surname is Liang, and he was originally from Jinan, Shandong. Xiaomin was taken away when he was four years old. They said that Xiaomin is the descendant of the former prince!" With a mocking look on his face, he said, "They said swearingly that I was picked up from the side of the road after my parents' son died. At first, Xiaomin believed it, and I was very angry about it! Until I saw that A true former crown prince!"
Liang Xueyan showed a cold expression: "I am five points similar to that right master. If I modify it a little bit, I will be eight points similar. No wonder I was found out!"
Situ Yu said coldly: "How do you prove that you are a substitute and not the real master?"
Liang Xueyan said directly: "Of course I can know that the direct descendants of the Wei family are born different. They will have a bright red birthmark on their bodies, which usually appears on the chest. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be able to determine my identity!"
The Holy Majesty is not clear about this. After all, such secrets of the previous dynasty are generally circulated within the royal family and will not be clearly recorded in the history books. However, if you want to know, you can still trace it out. There will be clues in the records of the Emperor's Mansion. As for asking about the Marquis of Shun'an who has been keeping watch for the former royal family, he was originally picked from a side branch, and they probably don't know the inside story.
Therefore, the Holy Majesty did not fully believe it, but just nodded, signaling Liang Xueyan to continue.
Liang Xueyan also knew that it was impossible for him to be trusted with empty words, but he continued: "After learning about this, Xiaomin began to trace his own background. Although Xiaomin was young when he was taken away, but There is still a little memory left, and through this memory, Xiaomin found out his hometown, even found the family tree, and knew Xiaomin's name!"
As Liang Xueyan said, the expression on his face became more and more gloomy: "They took me away, and then created a big fire, killing my family members, including my parents, my grandmother who lived with my parents, my sister-in-law, and A sister who is five years older than me!"
There were already tears in Liang Xueyan's eyes: "It's fine if they ruined me, they also ruined my family. My family is completely gone. So, what worries do I have?"
The Holy One knocked on the table, and said, "Tell me, what do you know!"
Liang Xueyan licked his lips, with a morbid blush on his face, and said, "They want to restore the former dynasty! In fact, it may not be the Wei family who want to do this, but a group of veterans from the former dynasty!" Liang Xueyan As he spoke, the expression on his face twisted, and he continued: "Xiaomin's nominal father was also forced to death by those people, and he didn't want to be restored at all! When the former dynasty fell, the prince was rescued by his confidants. Gong, he has property and household registration, and found a remote place where he can comfortably become a rich man, so why would he want to restore the country? Not to mention, the prince’s status was also very embarrassing back then!"
The people present all knew a little bit that the last emperor of the previous dynasty was a mediocre person. In fact, at the end of the dynasty, the emperor's aptitude often could not change the problem. The first emperor was Emperor Tianshun, who had only two sons, but never had a grandson. Later, he directly stated that whoever had a grandson first among the two sons would be the prince.
The last emperor took advantage of this light and became the prince, and his son was the prince who escaped death.
The Last Emperor is not a person with profound wisdom and outstanding talents. If it was a peaceful and prosperous age, he would have no problem being a conservative lord with his temperament. But when the world is in chaos, the courtiers have their own ideas. Many things are also indifferent, or in other words, he feels powerless, so he just let it go.
There were loyal ministers in the previous dynasty who came to remonstrate, and the last emperor directly said: "The world is not dead, and I am happy. If the world is dead, I will die for the country, and it is not a loss anyway!" He said so, so naturally made.
When the last emperor was still a prince, he had a concubine who was obedient to him, but this concubine never had a son, and the last emperor had only one son until he ascended the throne. Queen.
However, after a few years, the concubine who had been canonized as a noble concubine became pregnant, and the imperial doctor diagnosed her as a son, so the noble concubine became unwilling.This noble concubine was not of high birth, and she had little knowledge, and she didn't understand many things at all. Therefore, she thought that since the emperor doted on her, then, if she had a son, she should hand over the throne to her son, and she didn't Satisfied with being a noble concubine, she also wants to be a queen. After all, no matter how majestic the noble concubine sounds, she is just a concubine who can only be buried in the concubine's mausoleum in the future, but the queen, as the official wife, can be buried in the imperial mausoleum with the emperor middle.
Therefore, relying on the piece of meat in her stomach, she brazenly led a group of people to the Le'an Palace where the queen lived at that time, and directly strangled the queen to death with a white silk!
Such things can be said to be outrageous. After all, as a concubine, killing the Queen of the Palace is not much different from being a regicide.However, Emperor Mo doted on her and covered up the matter, only saying that the queen died of a sudden illness.
This kind of thing had to be concealed from people who didn't know the truth. There were ministers in the court who expressed that they wanted to declare the official punishment, but they were directly thrown into the prison by the last emperor, and they died that night. They are very pessimistic about the future of the imperial court, and now they are even more reluctant to say anything.
But this matter can make others shut up, but the prince can't explain it.The last emperor wanted to take advantage of the trend to abolish the crown prince, but the problem was that he had no other sons, so he couldn't abolish the crown prince and pass the throne to his nephew, so he decided to wait until the imperial concubine gave birth to a son, and then directly abolish the crown prince and let the imperial concubine do it. The queen, and then canonized the younger son as the prince.
People are not as good as heaven, but the imperial concubine gave birth to a princess, so in the end, the matter of abolishing the prince can only be dragged on.That imperial concubine was still canonized as a queen. Anyway, she could give birth to the first one, and she could also give birth to the second one. Therefore, she didn't like the prince no matter what, and wished she could kill him soon.
No matter how frantic the last emperor was, he could not kill his only son. However, he also felt that because of the death of the former empress, his son had thoughts in his mind. Imprisoned in the East Palace, waiting for the new queen to give birth to a son, he is useless.
The new empress did give birth to a son, but it was a pity that he was a little weak, and he might die in a short time. Therefore, just to be on the safe side, the position of the eldest son, the prince, had to continue to be occupied. This occupation was the end of the previous dynasty. when.
At the beginning, the last emperor said that he would die for the country immediately after the country was destroyed. He was also a man of his word, so he quickly called all the members of the royal family together, asked his confidantes to lock the door, and set himself on fire. The whole family went neatly.
However, that prince was not a fool. He felt that he had never enjoyed the benefits of being a prince. Why should he be buried with this dynasty? However, I packed a lot of gold and silver from the East Palace, and then pretended to be a court lady, and ran away directly while the war was in turmoil.
This is a person who is aware of current affairs. He pretended to be someone else's household registration, and then found a relatively remote place to settle down. From the beginning to the end, he had no intention of restoring the country, and even his descendants did not know his own background.
It stands to reason that this kind of thing is over, and there are still some old ministers from the previous dynasty.The previous dynasty was corrupt, even if these people sold the previous dynasty in a package, they would not be able to sell it for a good price, and their interests were seriously damaged after the establishment of the new dynasty. Many people in their families died during the dynasty change, so , Some people have the idea of restoring the country, among other things, under such a banner, there are many things they can do.
However, if you want to restore the country, you must have a benchmark. The Marquis of Shun'an conferred by the imperial court is obviously not good.
They have already integrated into the local area, and they are even considered to be some well-known big families in the local area. When the world is peaceful, a fool will listen to the words of these so-called loyal ministers and do some tricks to restore the country.
How could this group of people be so easy to give up, so they just kept doing nothing and got people away.
In the end, that person was also stubborn, and he wanted to report to the officials. After all, he also thought clearly that the previous dynasty had been destroyed for so long, and the world had settled down. They belonged to the former royal family who were rich and wealthy, so their family really wouldn't suffer much damage, at most it was just like the adopted clan, being watched.
When the gang of conspirators heard this, they actually killed people, leaving only the youngest one, and then instilled in him the saying that their fathers and grandparents were determined to restore the country, and were discovered and killed by the court, and then they thought about children It was easy to die young, and he was afraid that it would not be safe, so he simply brought Liang Xueyan over again.
When Liang Xueyan said this, he sneered: "These people are talking about loyalty, but they are using the restoration of the country as a cover to achieve their own interests. Maybe, if they really succeed in the restoration of the country, they will still play A trick of abdication, and replace it by myself!"
The Holy Majesty also heard it inconceivable, these people are too courageous, on what basis do they think they can restore the country, just because of their method of killing people without blinking an eye, and this trick of substitute?
Liang Xueyan said bluntly: "No, they have been cultivating dead soldiers secretly, and they have colluded with many officials. They should also have a strong armed force in their hands. However, Xiaomin was originally a substitute they trained, so I don't know the specific situation, and Xiaomin thinks that even the righteous master probably doesn't know!"
"Sad warriors?" His Majesty immediately had an association when he heard it, and then asked, "Then do you know how they train dead warriors?"
Liang Xueyan hesitated and said: "It seems that they have made a kind of poison, which needs to be taken regularly. If there is no antidote, the other party will scratch their hearts and lungs, run down their noses, and lose their minds. I have seen them punish a person once. The dead soldier who failed to complete the task and tried to escape, the one who couldn't survive in the end, just couldn't die, lying there like a dead dog, begging for an antidote!"
The Holy Majesty immediately understood that it was opium. He immediately connected these clues. Before, he felt that those people had far-reaching plans, but now combined with Liang Xueyan's statement, they actually want to use such unappealable means to restore the country?
Situ Yu suddenly asked, "Have you ever taken that kind of opium?"
Liang Xueyan shook his head and said, "No, they always thought that Xiaomin didn't know anything. In name, Xiaomin was their lord. How could they give Xiaomin some opium!"
The Holy Majesty said meaningfully: "Not necessarily, I should tell you that the so-called poison is actually not a poison, but opium. A small amount of opium can cure diseases, but more will lead to addiction. If you can't satisfy your addiction , it will happen!"
Liang Xueyan's complexion changed suddenly, he was not sure, but the Holy Majesty laughed, and directly sent someone to call the imperial physician, and said: "You don't have to worry, I know far more than you think, I have been working with you before Investigate □□ There is also the matter of the dead man you mentioned, but I didn’t know the origin and purpose of the person behind the scenes before, but now I understand, and I know where to go to investigate! You don’t have to worry I don't care if your surname is Liang or Wei, since you think you are a citizen of Jin, then I will trust you and protect you!"
Liang Xueyan quickly kowtowed his thanks, the Holy Majesty looked at him, and really felt that he was destined by destiny, otherwise why did this side fall into a stalemate, and someone came to inform him over there!
Soon, the imperial doctor came, and the emperor asked the imperial doctor to give Liang Xueyan a diagnosis. The diagnosis made Liang Xueyan startled: "This young man should have eaten some food cooked with poppy shells. Opium comes from poppy fruit. After adding poppy husks to the food, it can add umami taste, but it can also be addictive. Fortunately, this young man does not take too much, and the time is not too long. Go back and take care of it , don’t touch poppy products in the future, there won’t be any problems!”
Liang Xueyan's complexion became even more difficult to look at. He really thought highly of those people's integrity, and the resentment in his heart was even stronger now. He was brought up by those people, so he was naturally affected a lot. He said that he is an egoist. Although he resented that his family was killed, he was still young when he was taken away, and he didn't have too deep feelings for his family. He really wanted to resist because he knew One is a counterfeit, and now, the other party obviously doesn't want to let him go, trying to use opium to control himself, Liang Xueyan can't bear it even more.
He didn't suspect that the imperial physician lied to him, it was unnecessary at all, and according to the imperial physician, he had already discovered the abnormality. In the place where he lived, the food he ate felt very delicious in the mouth, and the food he ate in other places , but he didn’t feel this way, instead it made him feel dull. He used to think it was a matter of cooking skills. After all, the cook on his side was definitely not an ordinary cook, but now he knows that it is completely poppy shell He has been eating this kind of food for more than a year, and Liang Xueyan can't help but shudder when he thinks of the dead man who blew his head so badly that he is almost out of shape. He shuddered, if one day he fell to this point, he might as well die.
Situ Yu couldn't help but sympathize with Liang Xueyan. He was really unlucky. Hearing his name, one could tell that he was also from a scholarly family. But because of his appearance, he was stolen, and now he is even more so. He was so poisoned, he thought for a while, looked at the sage, and said, "Father, since this is the case, we must also prevent those remnants of the previous dynasty from jumping over the wall and killing people to silence them. How should Mr. Liang be arranged?"
Naturally, the Holy Majesty can't do anything to Liang Xueyan. After all, he took the risk to inform you. You must have a certain reward, otherwise, who will do this in the future?Therefore, the Holy Majesty pondered for a while and said, "Liang Xueyan, you should also know that your contribution this time is actually not very easy to show clearly!"
Liang Xueyan nodded, and said, "Your Majesty is wise, Xiaomin doesn't want to bear this name, and there will be no peace in the future!"
The Holy Majesty said directly: "Forget it, I will create a false impression later, making those people think that your whereabouts have been leaked, and the people serving you there will directly kill people to silence the secrets in order to prevent leaks! And you, you can't show up for the time being. After that, if you don't If you are willing to change your name and surname, I can also let you return to your own family. There will be no problem for you to become an official in the imperial examination in the future! If you don’t want to return to the family, I can also give you a new identity, as long as you have enough talents , I don't mind using you, understand?"
Liang Xueyan thought about it silently in his heart. It seems that the Holy Majesty did not give a clear reward, but this is a good thing. It means that he has a name with the Holy Majesty, and he will definitely run faster than those who stand on the same starting line in the future .He pondered for a while, and immediately hesitated about returning to the Liang family in Jinan. In the final analysis, the reason why his parents passed away was because he looked quite similar to the real former prince. After he returned, Without immediate relatives such as parents, would the family really accept him?Will you be willing to train him?These are all problems.
Liang Xueyan had carefully inquired about the situation of the Liang family. The Liang family was indeed a rich family in the local area. Liang Xueyan's father was a scholar back then, and the family also had a lot of land. After their deaths, these fields were taken back by the clan, and most of them ended up falling apart. In the hands of those big families in the clan.And the Liang family has produced one Juren and four scholars over the years, and they are also very influential in the local area. The resources in the family have almost been divided by that Juren and several other scholars. Even if Liang Xueyan is conceited about his talents, he Following those people in the previous dynasty, although they read a lot of books, they didn't learn anything about the imperial examination. Therefore, without the support of the family, would he be a rich man for the rest of his life?He is not reconciled to this.
Therefore, after some hesitation, Liang Xueyan directly chose the second path.
The Holy Majesty was obviously not surprised by his choice. His Majesty knew Liang Xueyan's character after he said a few words before, and he was not the kind of person willing to be mediocre. I will arrange a parentage for you, just wait for a few days!"
Situ Yu asked, "Father, what about during this time?"
Seeing Situ Yu's appearance, the Holy Majesty couldn't help laughing. He had discovered before that Situ Yu obviously admired Liang Xueyan, and Liang Xueyan was not incompetent. If he was willing to help Situ Yu, he should be able to bring a lot to the East Palace. The Holy Majesty is happy to see the results, after all, if a person like Liang Xueyan is not under his nose, who knows what he can do.
The Holy Majesty said directly: "Isn't your seventh brother's palace under construction? Tell him to stay with your seventh brother for a few days first, and I will make arrangements later!"
Liang Xueyan felt relieved, and immediately kowtowed and thanked Situ Yu again. Seeing the way the Holy Majesty looked, it was indeed not in the posture of killing someone to silence him.
Situ Jin didn't know at all that there was an extra person in the palace that he hadn't built yet. After all, there was an order from the sage and the order from the prince. Anyway, this person just lived in a room in the corner for a few days. Entering the main courtyard and the main courtyard, what is there to say, usually, many people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs live in those places!
The Holy Majesty acted resolutely. On the same day, the small courtyard where Liang Xueyan lived caught fire. Those people like to make things like water leakage. up.
After the fire was extinguished, according to the traces deliberately left by the people of the Imperial City Division, those people could easily make a wrong judgment.That is, Liang Xueyan met the prince during the daytime, and the prince wanted to recruit him, and then someone came forward to investigate, probably sent by the sage, they were guilty of thieves, thinking they had been discovered, and the servants in the yard wanted to take Liang Xueyan to escape, but It was too late, so he didn't do anything at all, and killed Liang Xueyan directly, and then committed suicide. Before committing suicide, he set a fire and burned all the remaining clues.
Those people also revealed the dead body made by the government from the government. It is suspected that the fatal wound on Liang Xueyan's body was a knife in the chest, which directly pierced the heart. The others had already taken poison before, and the fire had not had time Died, and inhaled a lot of smoke.
In the end, the government came to the conclusion that the acquaintance committed the crime. Someone first poisoned the food, but one of them found something wrong before he could eat it. The whole house was set on fire, and the drug addiction started to kick in at this time, and some people wanted to escape but it was too late.
The judgment made by the government on the bright side also seems to be very logical. Looking at the number of corpses, it is not a big problem, after all, there is not a single one missing.It's just that, for these remnants of the previous dynasty, they can't just regret the death of a double at this time, they must be prepared to be found abnormal.I don't know what the problem was discovered by the people who found this yard before, so that the people in the yard had to commit suicide in order not to be taken away, but obviously, the other party should have discovered some abnormalities, and even found some sensitive things. Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a mess.After this incident becomes serious, even if the government will only pursue the murderer and arsonist on the surface, in fact, they will definitely trace the origin of this courtyard secretly.
Therefore, this group of people is now in a state of desperation, and they have hibernated their original routes in the capital, hoping to hide for a while, and resume their actions when the other party's pursuit is not so strong.
It is a pity that they underestimated the court's ability to respond.In the past, the court was in the light and they were in the dark. Therefore, the court has never found anything wrong. Now that the court has grasped the clues, it is very difficult to continue to hide in secret, especially when there is Liang Xueyan here.Although Liang Xueyan looked like a puppet to them, he actually knew a lot of things. Therefore, before these people had time to clean up their tails, the Imperial City Secretary and Jin Yiwei jointly dispatched to pull out their stronghold in Beijing. For the most part, Liang Xueyan didn't know the rest.
Now, no matter how stupid they are, they know that someone has leaked the secret.They didn't think of Liang Xueyan, after all, they always thought that Liang Xueyan was a puppet, thinking that Liang Xueyan didn't know much, but in fact, Liang Xueyan knew more than they thought, and even some of them The top management may not know more than Liang Xueyan.
This group of people was originally connected by interests. In fact, for them, the restoration of the country is just a relatively distant goal. Many of them are now actually relying on this so-called restoration of the country. The way of organization is to seek benefits for oneself.
For example, the dead men they planted in the backyards of officials and dignitaries can always pass on some key news, and they can easily profit from it. They bring enough benefits.
They can use less effort to obtain more benefits. They have a foundation overseas and have sufficient strength to protect their own interests at sea. Therefore, it is good if they can restore the country. If not, use this banner , can also seek enough benefits for their own family. Under such circumstances, if there is anything else to say, let’s continue. Maybe, they will really be able to change the throne and change the dynasty in the future!
Now that we have encountered setbacks, it is obvious that some things have leaked out, many strongholds have been breached, and the people inside have become captives. Maybe someone here knows the secret of the so-called opium. It is very difficult for people to keep secrets.Anyone who has seen the power of opium knows that when they are addicted, even if they just give them a little hope, they would like to betray their eighteen generations of ancestors, let alone them.
As a result, many of these people became flustered. Their own family members knew about their own affairs and had been in business for many years, so they could only make small fuss in secret.
They have seen the changes in the world in the past few years. Even if there is any drought or flood, the court has never experienced famine. On the contrary, it is now in a situation of excess food production, and there is so much food It can be used to make spirits. Under such circumstances, it is completely unrealistic to expect the people to rebel. I am afraid that as soon as their banner is raised, a group of people will jump out first and want to arrest them. The government is gone.
This is not a joke, just like the White Lotus Sect that has existed since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, this religious organization has always had a lot of latent power among the people. Every dynasty is trying to crack down on the White Lotus Sect, but this organization has been thriving. It can even be said to be thriving.
But in the past few years, the White Lotus Sect has obviously failed. The common people have enough to eat and warm clothes. Even if they are sick, they still have money to see a doctor. The advanced farming methods from Shennongzhuang also emphasize intensive farming. , and the abundant crops also make these farmers not rest much throughout the year. What's more, the imperial court wants to make soil and chemical fertilizers, and has been buying raw materials from the people at a low price. When various workshops appear in the future, even if there is slack time, everyone will be busy working. Who has the time to pay homage to Our Lady of the White Lotus? Imagine a vacuum hometown?
Therefore, when the White Lotus Sect wanted to cause trouble before, they were immediately informed. A incense master of the White Lotus Sect shouted "The Virgin of the White Lotus, Home of the Vacuum", and was immediately picked up by someone with a hoe, smashed his head, and turned him away. Arrived at the Yamen.The White Lotus Sect was severely hit because of this, and the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus was arrested and sentenced by Ming Zhengdian.
Such a deep-rooted organization as the White Lotus Sect is like this, let alone people like them, who don't know who they are!After the dignified prince, he said that he was unwilling to rebel and wanted to inform him, so he killed him directly. If they wanted to say that they were loyal to the previous dynasty, that would be complete bullshit. They were loyal to themselves and their family. The king dominates, who is willing to ruin the wonderful life now?
Therefore, after something happened, everyone became panicked. Some who did not reveal their identities in reality were calm, but some who had shown their faces became anxious
