The Reborn Wife is Farming

Qi Xiuyuan looked at the person standing below with a gloomy expression, and asked in a deep voice, "I can't find anything."

Minister of the Ministry of Punishments bowed his head a little ashamedly: "Yes, I am incompetent, I really can't find out."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice explained: "I checked the family of the servant. He is an orphan. He has no relatives outside. He entered the palace at the age of eight. Now ten years, he has no very good friends in the palace. I have interrogated the people around him. The inner eunuchs and maids all said that he was timid, hardworking but not smart enough, and many eunuchs who entered the palace later than him had a bright future, but he was the only one who followed his master in the clothes bureau. Zhaoyang Palace's uniforms are still due to the small number of young eunuchs in the palace, and the eunuchs in charge only use him when they see that he is still diligent in his work. Your Majesty, there were many coincidences that day. The king of Rong Jun received the meeting ceremony on a temporary basis, and the emperor wants to announce it. An Guogong also made a temporary decision, and the person behind him must not have the opportunity to arrange it in advance, so that person should be at the palace banquet. At least he saw the Rongjun King accepting the gift, but he could predict that the princess would be temporarily placed there because there were too many things. In the Palace of the First Prince."

Seeing the emperor bowed his head in deep thought, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice continued: "I wanted to investigate the source of the poison, but neither the guards guarding the palace gate nor the servants in the harem could find any clues. Miss Lichun said that they bumped into the poison in the Qianyuan Palace. To the servant, there is already some distance from Zhaoyang Hall, the queen asked him to go to the front hall to inform An Guogong, no matter how lost he is, he will not go to Qianyuan Hall."

"So he received the mission, or went to Qianyuan Hall to wait for Lichun and the others, or went to get the poison?"

"Or both," said the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice with a clear mind, "I have assumed two situations. The servant was ordered to go to the front hall to inform An Guogong, but he was stopped by the behind-the-scenes people before he entered the hall. The man gave him the poison, if he went to inform An Guogong, and then led An Guogong back to the apse, he would not have enough time to mix the poisonous jade ring into the package, so he went directly to the Qianyuan Hall to wait in ambush; But after he received the task, the poison was not on the person who connected with him, and he needed to go to another place to get it by himself, which was even more time-consuming. One more palace gate from the Yuan Palace is the Kunning Palace.

"If it is the first type, the poison probably flowed in from the palace gate that night, and the guards guarding the gate will not have any clues after asking the minister."

The eyes of the guards guarding the gate are very poisonous. Even if they can't remember all the accessories on their bodies, they can remember everything. Moreover, it is impossible to bring such a poison into the palace without revealing their whereabouts. Always in the palace..."

The minister of the Ministry of punishment did not finish his words, but Qi Xiuyuan understood.

He has very strict management over the palace, and Li Jinghua's management over the harem is equally strict. There are only three masters in the entire palace, and there are few people serving them. There are only so many people entering the palace every day. He wants to deliver the poison to the harem under the noses of everyone. It's too difficult, but it would be much easier if this poison had been hidden from the previous dynasty.

Chaos arose early in the front court and the harem, and it was much easier to pass things on.

But he can deduce these possibilities, but he can't find any clues, no evidence, and no object of suspicion. How can he solve the case?

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice considered that all forces and people did not think that anyone had to put the eldest prince to death at this time.

If the other party is targeting the emperor, then there is still doubt. After all, the emperor needs to be replaced after death. The eldest prince is still young, and everything is possible. Killing the eldest prince, the emperor is still young, and he can have many princes in the future, unless the other party's The target is the harem.

But the current harem of the emperor is only the empress. Even if it is too early to prepare for the future seizure of the throne, the other party has not yet sent people into the palace. Whether they can give birth to a prince and whether they will grow up are all problems. How can they get rid of it now? The eldest prince?

Therefore, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice felt that the emperor had offended someone, and it was impossible for the Minister of the Ministry of Justice to ask the emperor, "Who did you offend? Who would want to put you and your family to death?"

If Qi Xiuyuan can become emperor, he must offend many people, but who would want to put an emperor and his family to death? In other words, who has the courage and ability to implement it?

To be honest, among the founding emperors of all dynasties, Qi Xiuyuan offended very few people, and none of the heroes who followed him survived after the opening of the dynasty. Judging from the behavior and heart shown by the emperor now, the birds will be exhausted in the future. The possibility of running dogs cooking is also very small.

The officials left behind from the previous dynasty, except for the particularly corrupt officials and brutal treacherous officials, also survived. Taking Zhang Cheng as an example, he was once an official supported by Prime Minister Qin, but he was not liquidated. It is nothing more than that although he is corrupt, there is still a limit. Even Zhang Cheng survived and was able to continue to be an official in the court, which shows the emperor's kindness.

As for the aristocratic families that he has always hated, the emperor mostly surveyed their fields and investigated the situation of their hidden households. No one lost his life because of this. It is said that although the aristocratic family also hates or even hates the current emperor, this hatred is much lighter than that of the previous emperor Sejong.

He didn't think that the family would want to kill the eldest prince because of this.

The aristocratic family has been passed down for hundreds of years and thousands of years. Their actions are more insidious, but they are also more gentle, and they will not put people to death so brutally.

So the question goes back to the original point, who is going to kill the First Prince? What is the purpose?

Without someone to suspect, the Minister of Criminal Justice would not be able to investigate at all.

Qi Xiuyuan took a look at Rong Xuan, and could only wave his hand to make the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice to step down, let him investigate this matter in secret, and whenever there is any progress, he should tell him.

Qi Xiuyuan watched the back of Minister of Justice disappear, and asked, "Jinyu, what do you think?"

"Unless the Minister of the Ministry of Justice is lying, there is no better candidate for investigation than him." Rong Xuan said: "Our foundation in the capital is too shallow, and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice has served in the Ministry of Justice for eleven years in Jing Yan, no one is better than him. I understand the power of the capital and the palace."

Qi Xiuyuan nodded, "That's why I asked him to investigate this matter," Qi Xiuyuan sighed, "There are still too few people we can use."

Rong Xuan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it is already very good that we can achieve this in two years, so don't worry too much."

Qi Xiuyuan thought so too, and said: "This matter can only be shelved for the time being, but the safety of the eldest prince must be paid special attention to."

Rong Xuan thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate for the eldest prince to live in the Kunning Palace anymore. After being crowned prince, he can move to the East Palace. There will be more people coming and going to the Kunning Palace for the draft next year..."

Therefore, the Kunning Palace may not be as safe as the East Palace.

Qi Xiuyuan nodded slightly, and said to the empty imperial study after Rong Xuan left: "Baili, what happened to the secret guard I asked you to prepare for the First Prince?"

Baili appeared in front of a bookshelf, knelt down and said, "Go back to the emperor, I'm ready, and I can come to the eldest prince at any time."

Qi Xiuyuan nodded slightly, and said, "Send someone over tomorrow, I'll take a look for myself."
