The prince was assassinated and the court was "shocked".
The prince thought it was funny. All the royal doctors in the palace were there last night. How could the courtiers not know.
The most basic thing about being around in the capital, especially in the court, is that you have sharp ears and eyes. Someone like my uncle, who is almost blind, is the only one who goes out to get around without any strength and relies entirely on God's will.
You know, even my uncle and his father know how to send servants from the palace to wander around the city when nothing happens.
"The assassination of noble Tianhuang happened just outside the capital. Before the dynasty was established, I would like to order Qianqiying to cooperate with the Criminal Department to investigate the matter."
After Chu Qing finished speaking, the officials thought it was quite funny.
One is because of what Chu Qing said. No, the assassination of Tianhuang Guizhou did not happen. It happened to Chu Qing. However, Chu Qing's identity had not been "exposed" at that time. It was two times. The first time, Li Sen, I died. It’s the second time. Feng Daoren is messing with you now.
It can be seen from this incident, if you can't beat it, then join, meow~~~
Secondly, Qianqiying is the auxiliary, and the Punishment Department is the main force, which is even more of a joke.
Even Zhai Xiu, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, had to admit that every time something like this happened and a serious case occurred in Beijing, their Ministry of Punishment was the breadwinner, with Qianqiying taking full control.
However, this face must still be given. Zhai Xiu came out and said: "I second the proposal."
Strictly speaking, Zhai Xiu was not considered a member of Chu Qing's gang, not even a friend, and certainly not a political enemy.
Most of the time, Zhai Xiu was very generous, not to mention that he now lacked a minister in the Ministry of Justice. Chu Qing went to the Ministry of Justice a few days ago. If he was really desperate, he would directly transfer Qiu Wanshan to the Ministry of Justice.
It's a fantasy to have a minister serve as a minister, but there are too many fantasy stories that happened to Chu Qing. How can Lao Zhai not be afraid?
Before the change, I would definitely ask other ministers what they meant, but now the courtiers are used to it.
Whose business is in charge, and the responsibilities are clearly divided, unless the leader of the six departments and nine temples goes to the Jingyi Hall for a small meeting.
Assassinations are within the scope of responsibilities of the Criminal Department and Qianqiying. The other six departments and nine temples have nothing to do with them.
This is also a situation that Chu Qing wants to see and is trying his best to improve. So far, initial results have been achieved.
However, other reasons cannot be ruled out. The courtiers do not want to get involved in this matter. As long as it is related to the prince, assassinating the prince is basically second only to treason. If you get involved, it will basically not end well, let alone participating, even if it is to eat It’s easy for me to eat the melon myself.
"The incident happened suddenly, but Qianqi Camp has already found out some clues."
Chu Qing looked at the prince. What he was about to say was not so much for the prince as for the courtiers.
"The incident took place outside Dapu Temple in the south of the city. There were no less than a hundred people present. There were three assassins with long knives, long swords, and hatchets. There were no survivors. His Royal Highness Prince You was recuperating in the Caomu Hall. The manager of the Caomu Hall was a famous doctor in Beijing. His surname was Chen, whose name is Chuming, His Highness Prince You has come to his senses. Chen Chuming, the manager of Caomu Hall, and his many disciples often go to Qianqi Camp to diagnose and treat the visiting horses, so they know the root cause."
As soon as these words came out, the courtiers looked a little strange.
Chu Qing continued: "After His Highness King You was attacked, he ordered his entourage to take him to Caomu Hall. Master Shangshan was also going with him. Master Shangshan was seriously injured and has not yet woken up, but he should be fine. The injury was from the sword, which passed through the abdomen and did not hurt any of the internal organs."
When they heard that His Highness Prince You took the initiative to go to the Caomu Hall, the courtiers looked even weirder.
Chu Qing smiled slightly: "Although King You does not live in the capital, he knows the reputation of Caomu Hall. I thought it was a misunderstanding and ordered people to ask dozens of people. King You... indeed wanted to go to Caomu Hall after being attacked."
The courtiers had different expressions, and they heard something overlying.
"Although there is no ironclad evidence, we have made preliminary guesses about the identity of the assassin. The one who uses the sword is from the Taoist sect, and the one who uses the knife is from the army. He should be a horse archer or a city guard archer. The long knife he uses is similar to that of Qianqi. Ying Tan Ma is in agreement, as for the third person, the hatchet used should be an ordinary commoner, coming from Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs, which is also the fiefdom of the minister."
As soon as the words fell, the whole room was shocked.
This time I wasn't pretending, but I was really shocked.
Everyone looked at Chu Qing with extremely complicated expressions, including the prince's face, which also showed a look of astonishment.
No one is a fool, looking at Chu Qing with suspicion.
Chu Qing has been to Nanguan for the troops of the border army.
A villager in the southern suburbs, the fiefdom of Chu Qing.
Among the Taoists of the Taoist sect, Chu Qing has a group of Taoists.
Chu Qing was still standing in the hall. After finishing speaking, he kept silent but did not retreat to the class.
He did not say that he was framed, nor did he say how wronged he was. He just stated this fact, nothing more.
Zaifu Nangongxi, the head of the civil service, looked deeply at Chu Qing and suddenly nodded slightly.
In fact, Nangong Xi's emotions about Chu Qing are quite complicated.
I would say they are friends, but not really. They are not friends. My nephew is still the student of the other party.
Even if we have this relationship, it doesn't mean how good our friendship is.
In fact, Chu Qing killed so many aristocratic families, and many of them followed Nangong Xi.
Not to mention Chu Qing's style of doing things, Nangong Xi has always been disgusted with it, but he just didn't say it.
But from the perspective of the Prime Minister, Nangong Xi had to admire Chu Qing, because the results showed that the country was constantly getting better, a prosperous era was expected, and foreign enemies were eliminated one by one, all directly or indirectly by Chu Qing. caused.
After Huang Laosi leaves Beijing, Nangong Xi will definitely assist the prince in supervising the country. This is an important task, much heavier than the burden of being a prime minister. Nangong Xi is also ready to dedicate his life to the two generations of the Chang family, and is even more grateful to Huang The fourth child can trust him so much.
Huang Laosi did not escape, but he was not an irresponsible person. If the prince was only sensible, Laosi would not have run away directly. He must have also considered Nangong Xi. Lao Nangong is trustworthy and more capable. It was only after considering this aspect that the fourth child dared to go out.
Nangong Xi was grateful and felt that the burden on her shoulders was much heavier.
It's just that Chu Qing came back suddenly. He didn't ask him to assist the government, but asked him to assist the prince.
This also involves another issue. If something happens to the prince and he needs to make a decision. In this case, Chu Qing and Nangong Xi have different political opinions. Who should the prince listen to?
When Nangong Xi thought about this, she felt quite awkward at first.
But he couldn't stand Chu Qing's emotional intelligence, so he told the prince directly that he didn't know much about the matters in the court, so he could only give one suggestion. For matters that really mattered to the dynasty, he had to ask Prime Minister Nangong Xi. Nangong Xi was a conservative person. , has doubts about many new things, but once he is convinced, the matter will definitely be done and done well.
In addition, Chu Qing emphasized that any reform, regarding the dynasty, if Chu Qing proposed it, it may not be right, but if Nangong Xi agrees with it, then this matter must be right. of.
The prince told Nangong Xi exactly what he said, and Nangong Xi's old face turned red, feeling guilty and proud at the same time.
In this life, Nangong Xi has been praised countless times, but Chu Qing's comments made Nangong Xi like a kindergarten kid who got a hundred little red flowers. He wished that everyone in the world knew how much Chu Qing treated him. evaluate.
Nangong Xi looked at Chu Qing and nodded to express his happiness. The reason why he was happy was because he felt that Chu Qing had really grown up. What he said and what he did was perfect.
He didn't say that he was framed, nor did he say that he was framed. He just discussed the matter as it happened and told the truth, which gave people a feeling of magnanimity.
Some nodded, and some shook their heads. Old Nangong nodded, but Old Zhai shook his head.
