The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Chapter 739: Innocence and Lightness

Huimin Pharmacy, I am sick.

Until Wang Ji finished treating the wound, Zhu Gongqiao was half awake and half confused.

Zhang Bailing's old eyes were dim, who could have imagined that Yan Chengjin would disrupt all plans?

"This is a great opportunity. Duke Zhang will immediately interrogate Yan Chengjin on behalf of my father, and then inform the prince that Yan Chengjin framed me.

Yan Chengjin changed his system and made many enemies. The princes would not let him go, and the Crown Prince would alienate him.

You can send a secret letter to my father to explain this matter and let him take the opportunity to ask for the guards. Your Majesty will definitely agree out of guilt. "Zhu Gongqiao finished speaking in one breath, as if he had lost all his strength.

Zhang Bailing did not dare to delay, and hurriedly went to Guanglu Temple to meet the Holy Emperor in the name of Prince Ning.

Fengtian Temple.

After Emperor Hongzhi listened to Jin Yiwei's report, three wrinkles appeared on his forehead, and his voice was as calm as anger: "Yan Chengjin took the crown prince to Yuquan Mountain and injured Prince Ning?"

The power of gunpowder is enough to open the city gate and blow it up on people, leaving their bodies unprotected.

The princes looked horrified.

Li Dongyang asked first: "How is Prince Ning doing?"

If Yan Chengjin is charged with murdering the prince, how will the princes who oppose the reform give up?

The matter was of great importance, so Ye Zhun came to report it in person, with a somewhat frightened voice: "The prince is seriously injured and his life is in danger..."

Emperor Hongzhi looked solemn and speechless.

Yan Chengjin took the crown prince to Yuquan Mountain and brought gunpowder with him. Thinking about it, he felt suspicious.

This kid has always been cautious and careful in his actions. How could something like this happen?

The minister of Guanglu Temple bowed and said: "On behalf of Prince Ning, the official of the royal palace asked Yan Chengjin about the crime. This matter should be sent to Yan Chengjin's jail for questioning."

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

Among the ministers, some bowed to ask permission, while others stood still.

"Where is Yan Chengjin? Summon him to see me!" Emperor Hongzhi sighed heavily.

At this time, the East Palace.

After hearing Zhang Bailing's report, Zhu Houzhao looked at Yan Chengjin and said suspiciously: "I treat him as a companion, but he won't treat me as a brother, right?"

In my heart, the only one worthy of being a brother is Lao Gao.

Zhang Bailing's face was as pale as pig's liver. It turned out that the prince had been tricked. The dog prince had never taken the prince as his confidant. The prince was just being sentimental.

Yan Chengjin shook his head and said: "Your Highness and the Crown Prince are brothers."

According to seniority, Zhu Houzhao should be called Zhu Gongqiao...

He didn't know either, anyway, they were one family a hundred years ago.

Zhu Houzhao said, "But I only regard you as my brother, and Zhu Gongqiao is just my companion."

Just, just a companion? Zhang Bailing froze in place, as if petrified.

This is Zhu Houzhao.

At this moment, the young eunuch hurriedly walked in: "Master Yan, Your Majesty summons you to come over."

Yan Chengjin came to Fengtian Hall, and the princes looked at him with questioning eyes. Prince Ning was the only son of Prince Ning.

If he died in the capital, how would the court give an explanation to King Ning?

Emperor Hongzhi said solemnly: "Why did the Yan Qing family take the crown prince to Yuquan Mountain?"

"The chamber of commerce and the merchant houses have no money, so my solution to the situation is to take the Yuquan mountain water and trade it to the gentry.

Yuquan Mountain is a forbidden area for the royal family and can only be entered by the royal family's children.

Not daring to violate the ancestral system, I had no choice but to take the prince there. "

At this moment, Li Ke asked Xu Bolin, "But why does gunpowder burn so quickly?"

"I need to ask Wang Gongchang and Shenjiying. I don't know anything about gunpowder."

Soon, Dong Wenrui from the Thousand Households of Shenji Camp came to the main hall and bowed: "The amount of sand mixed in saltpeter and sulfur is different, and the ignition speed will be different.

People are often injured in Shenji Camp. This incident often happens unexpectedly and is uncontrollable. "

Gunpowder is extremely dangerous.

Therefore, the Shenji camp has the highest military salary, with nine points of silver per day.

Liu Jian frowned: "Who prepared the gunpowder?"

"This is the chief secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Xie Pi."

Xie Qian hurriedly stood up and said: "Quinzi has no enmity with the prince. He would not intentionally cause harm. It must be a coincidence."

Um.

In the main hall, the princes nodded, and there were often accidental injuries in the Shenji Camp.

Xie Pi had just returned to Beijing from Yangzhou Mansion and had never met Prince Ning, so how could he harm him?

The minister of Guanglu Temple asked, "How should I explain to Prince Ning?"

King Ning is the vassal king with a strong foundation among the vassal kings, and all the vassal kings are watching how the court handles it.

Emperor Hongzhi was in trouble with the princes.

At this time, Yan Chengjin said: "I will go and persuade the prince. Your Majesty and the princes do not need to worry."

How could he give up so easily after blowing up someone like this?

Emperor Hongzhi and the princes looked disbelieving.

"I don't know if Yuquan's mountains and waters can be sold for money. Now that the prince has entered the capital and this happened again, how can we ask the vassal king to raise pigs?"

The ministers murmured.

Huimin Pharmacy, in the ward.

Zhu Gongqiao frowned slightly and gritted his teeth. In Zhu Houzhao's heart, am I just a eunuch?

Zhang Bailing said with relief: "Your Majesty and the ministers have already questioned Yan Chengjin. As long as the palace and the Crown Prince don't let go, the court will definitely question him."

"Conspiracy to murder the royal family is punishable by death penalty and exile according to the law. How could I miss this opportunity? Yan Chengjin must have never thought that I would survive."

Zhu Gongqiao could conclude that Yan Chengjin wanted to kill him. As long as he asked Xingbu to investigate, there would be clues.

At this time, Hu Cong lightly knocked on the door and opened a gap: "Your Majesty, Master Yan is here."

Zhang Bailing said: "He must be here to seek peace. The prince must not let go."

Yan Chengjin walked in and motioned for everyone to get out.

Zheng Qian closed the door. In order to prevent patients from being disturbed, the door of Huimin Pharmacy was as thick as a house door, and the walls were stuffed with cotton wool, which provided excellent sound insulation.

Zhu Gongqiao looked at Yan Chengjin: "You don't want me to let it go. I have asked my father to go to the court to find out your crime and murder the prince. Even if you are a bachelor, you are as guilty as the common people."

Yan Chengjin stood in front of him and said, "I know that you and your son want to rebel."

Zhu Gongqiao was stunned.

"I know that your father recruited the bandits from Poyang Lake as rebels. The leaders of the thieves, Ling Shisan and Min Twenty-four, are the canines raised by your palace. They are hidden in Poyang Lake. Their number is 34,761. There are twenty warships and a monthly ration of three thousand dan."

Zhu Gongqiao's pupils shrank and he opened his mouth slightly.

"I also know that there are seven rebel advisers in the palace. In addition to Zhang Bailing who came to Beijing, there are also Wang Lun, Liu Yangzheng, Li Shishi, Wang Ru, Yang Qing, and Lu Wan. There are also wolf soldiers in Guangxi and Fujian. "

Zhu Gongqiao looked at Yan Chengjin in disbelief as if he had seen a ghost.

"You think you are lucky, but no, I am just keeping you alive."

Yan Chengjin stood there with a normal expression.

Zhu Gongqiao's whole body was as cold as a corpse, and he suspected that Yan Chengjin was involved in the whole conspiracy.

Everything is in the palm of his hand!

Even when he entered the capital and got close to the prince, it was all done by Yan Chengjin.

King Anhua rebelled, causing trouble for Yang Shousui, who felt strange.

Now he is sure that Yan Chengjin must have done it, and it was perfect!

How could the palace's counselor defeat such a terrifying person?

Zhu Gongqiao burst into tears of shock, and Yan Chengjin had already walked out of the hospital room.

Zhang Bailing hurriedly walked in and saw Zhu Gongqiao motionless, and panicked: "Prince?"

The days during the Chinese New Year should be busy. I’m wondering if I can still make 10,000 yuan today. I’m afraid of delays due to unexpected events later. Finally, please vote and subscribe~
