When Wala's 80,000-strong army came to the city, the emperor didn't even frown.
But now, the emperor was so angry that he cried. When the ministers saw this, they were all frightened and knelt down to apologize.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hands angrily: "You are not guilty. I am the sinner who brought disaster to the country and the people. Go ahead and summon the princes, princes, and princes in Beijing to the Fengtian Palace for a meeting."
Should the crown prince succeed to the throne and King Xiang supervise the country? Or should the country's chief minister support King Xiang to ascend the throne? Or should everyone have any better ideas? Let's discuss it together and then go back to the Queen Mother and ask the Queen Mother to issue an edict. New king.
In the future, I will take my whole family back to Qi and join the vassal state. In just a few days, you will be able to support the new king and ascend the throne, and it will be convenient for you to use the new reign name. "
When the ministers heard this, they were so moved that they shed tears. While they kowtowed heavily, they resolutely advised the emperor to take back his orders.
Among the ministers present, there were only three exceptions. He Yi pulled Huang Pu, then stood up and walked out. Huang Pu was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up and followed.
Wang Wen also stood up and motioned for Chen Xun to follow him.
Chen Xun was confused. It would be fine if the servants could not persuade the emperor, but why are you running away? Do you really want to summon the royal family members to discuss the establishment of a new emperor?
Wang Wen saw that Chen Xun didn't think about it for a moment, so he had to forcefully drag Chen Xun out of the palace.
When the other ministers saw that the first assistant and the second assistant had run away, they could only follow behind, and they all went back to arrange for the court meeting.
It didn't take long for officers to come out from all over to invite the princes, princes, and princes in Beijing.
After seeing off the minister, Zhu Qiyu ordered Liu Chang: "Are the Jinyi Guards here? Let them in."
Liu Chang quickly went out and called the people in. Those in the front row were the emperor's heads of state and uncles from the Guo family, the Hu family, and the Wu family.
Zhu Qiyu shook his head. The role of these people was to look after the Jin Yiwei for him, but when it came time to question and interrogate, he had to let professionals come.
So Zhu Qiyu asked the people in the back row: "Which one of you is good at interrogation?"
Menda stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, the last general, Qianhu Menda, the Jinyi Guard, is responsible for the trial of the Zhenfu Division Prison."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Go ahead and interrogate them one by one. I will give you one day, and I will come back at this time tomorrow."
I hope that by then, you will be able to find out everything that needs to be found out about who poisoned me, how and what kind of poison was poisoned.
I don’t know how you try cases, and I don’t want to know how you try cases. In short, I don’t ask about the process, only the results.
I found out, you were promoted to Jin Yiwei and commanded the general affairs, and your subordinates were also promoted to a higher level. If you can't find out, you and your subordinates will all go home and take care of your children. "
Menda was a professional in torture, and he could pry off any tough talk. He wasn't too worried about the time limit set by the emperor, but because of the relationship between Prince Tan's palace and the emperor, he didn't dare to let go, so he looked quite embarrassed.
Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu asked: "What, what difficulties do you have? Just tell me. If you are afraid that you are not talented enough, you can tell it as soon as possible, and I will find someone else to investigate."
Menda hurriedly replied: "The errands assigned by your Majesty will be completed even after Wan Shi died. It's just who can and cannot be investigated in Prince Xin's palace, and what extent of torture methods can be used, please let your Majesty make it clear." "
Zhu Qiyu replied categorically: "Everyone in Prince Xin's palace, including Prince Xin and his concubine, must be investigated. You can use any means. I just want to know the truth about Prince Xin's poisoning."
After receiving the emperor's explicit authorization, Menda felt confident and immediately resigned and summoned his men to investigate the case.
Zhu Qiyu gave another stern warning to the imperial doctors present, and then angrily returned to his own Prince Qi's Mansion.
This time, Zhao Xuan took a thousand personal guards to protect the emperor and returned to Prince Qi's Mansion. Liu Chang, with two thousand personal guards, stayed behind to deal with the aftermath.
Not long after Zhu Qiyu left, a large number of royal guards stationed in Prince Yi's palace and interrogated the maids, eunuchs, and concubines one by one when the emperor was still King Yi.
Even the Wang family was invited to the main hall, and Menda personally led people for questioning.
When Mrs. Wang was really invited into the main hall, Menda began to feel a little numb on the scalp: just find any humble official in the capital who knows that Mrs. Wang is a member of the Empress Dowager Sun. These are all obvious things. .
Menda himself felt that the most reasonable explanation for the matter was that Wang's family, the concubine of King Xi, had a disagreement with Hang's family and was jealous of her giving birth to her eldest son. Now that the Hang family was also canonized by the emperor as the concubine of the King of Xi, she regarded her son Zhu Jianji, the king of Xi, as his legitimate son.
I think the mother is more valuable than the Wang family. The Wang family became resentful, so they secretly used poisonous measures to harm Zhu Jianji, the king of Xi.
Menda guessed this, but he didn't know what kind of result the emperor wanted.
Moreover, a royal guard interrogating a prince and concubine, how should he proceed?
In desperation, Menda had no choice but to drag his confidant out of the main hall, find a secluded place, and quietly asked: "Brother, tell me, what should we do? What kind of results should we find out?" What about the business trip?"
Lu Gao replied: "Let's check them one by one. Whatever we find out will be what we find, and the princess must also be subject to strict scrutiny."
"The Queen Dowager is the one who goes to the Holy Queen Mother, so won't we offend the Queen Mother to death?"
Lu Gao spread his hands helplessly: "Anyway, there are three ways before you: the first is to offend the Queen Mother, the second is to offend the emperor, and the third is to offend no one, just go home and take care of the child. You make your own choice."
After being stunned for a long time, Lu Gao could only sigh helplessly. It was impossible to hold a child. Based on the current consensus among the government and the public, it is unlikely that the emperor will abdicate, it is almost impossible for the emperor to be restored to his throne, and the empress dowager will inevitably lose power.
So everyone can tell whether he should offend the emperor or the queen mother.
Finally, Menda's heart changed and he ordered Lugao to lead people to start interrogating Wang's personal maids and eunuchs. Use all means, no more scruples.
But when Zhu Qiyu returned to the house, as soon as he stepped into the door, all the beloved concubines surrounded him.
Before the concubines could ask, Zhu Qiyu smiled and comforted: "Don't be nervous, things are already like this, and there is no other way. I can only use force to suppress all parties.
So there will be a lot of uproar in the city these days. You all stay at home and don’t go anywhere. "
Lin Xiangyu asked with concern: "How about King Tan?"
Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "The imperial doctor said that if you can survive the first month, you will get better."
Lin Xiangyu breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing this: "That's okay, there is finally hope."
Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly: "What else can we do? You don't know how bad these imperial doctors are. The saying 'you will get better after you survive the first month', in human terms: Zhu Jianji will not survive the first month."
It might be half a month, it might be ten days, it might be five or six days, it might even be tomorrow morning. "
The faces of all the beloved concubines changed when they heard this.
Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu comforted him: "Don't worry too much, it won't affect you. I will use thunderous means to completely solve the problem within three to five days.
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, we set off on time and moved to Yuquan Mountain to stay away from this ghost place.
Okay, I'm tired. The princess will stay and talk to me. You can all leave. "
