Assassination of the Emperor, especially the success of the assassination, can be regarded as one of the most important events in the hundreds of years of history of a dynasty. This incident of Emperor Chengde's autumn hunting and back stabbing was almost inevitably written into the history of the Great Jin Dynasty by later generations.

If God doesn't speak, the emperor is God.

Now the sky is broken!

Emperor Chengde was still unconscious and no one made a decision on this matter. So the prime ministers from the three provinces and the officials from the six ministries gathered at the Shangshutai and began to make decisions on this matter.

If the emperor is removed from the court, these people can actually be regarded as "parliament" in a sense and can represent the highest power of the court.

Four of the six divisions were named by four princes, so these four princes were also invited to the Shangshutai.

The Shangshu Pushe of Shangshutai was named Zhang and named Qu Haoran. Because he was in charge of Shangshutai, he was the prime minister of the current dynasty, and he respectfully called him Haoran Gong.

This Haoran Gong is over 60 years old this year.

Because he was discussing affairs at the Shangshutai and Zhang Qu was the prime minister, he naturally deserved to speak first. At this time, Haoran Gong looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "The founding of the country for more than a hundred years, and after the Seven Emperors, there has never been such a horrifying thing. Now the Holy Emperor is in court, and he is grateful to the people and praising the people, but someone has done such horrifying things!"

Haoran said angrily: "No matter who is involved, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. Whenever this matter is involved, all three tribes will be copied to show that the country is strictly legal!"

When the Prime Minister spoke, the others naturally nodded one after another. Only the subordinate Huan Chu frowned slightly and said, "Haoran Gong, those dozen or so assassins have been sentenced to death. Where should we investigate this matter?"

"Let's start checking from the Yulin Guard!"

Zhang Qu's face was cold: "I have sent someone to investigate. According to the traces of that night, most of these people sneaked in from the area under the charge of the Yulin Guard's Right Camp, so they started to investigate from the Yulin Guard. They would check whoever they touched, and check which floor they touched, and find out all these national dynasty bandits who were hiding behind the scenes!"

Huan Chu glanced at Zhang Qu lightly and said, "Why are you going to investigate the general Li Xin from the right camp of Yulin Guard? "

Many people saw Li Xin’s brave protection that night.

To be honest, if it weren't for Li Xin and the other two that night, Emperor Chengde's body would be cold at this time!

If Li Xin had nothing to do with Yu Linwei, this time he would be the first meritorious person who has made contributions in protecting the emperor.

Zhang Haoran lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said, "Li Xin has made great contributions to protecting the emperor. He can be relieved of the suspicion for the time being, but no one else can be let go. This time these assassins do great evil. If they cannot uphold the prestige of the country and the laws of the country, what is the court's laws?"

Zhang Qu is the Minister of Shangshu Pushe, the Prime Minister, and now there is another word "Ru". Huan Chu couldn't resist him, so he could only shake his head and sigh: "I just feel that some Yulin Guards are not considered dead. If Haoran Gong cuts through this with one knife, there will inevitably be many unjust souls under the knife."

"I would rather kill the wrong one than let it go!"

Haoran's face was cold: "This kind of big crime is really wronged to them, and that's why they deserve to die. Besides, Zhou Da Nian was their comrades-in-law, and it's a crime to report it ineffectively."

His Highness King Wei, the Minister of Works, frowned and slowly spoke: "Haoran Gong, Xiao Wang means to investigate the line of Zhou Da Nian first. After all, this is the culprit and the culprit. As for the matter of Yulin Wei's constable, it will not be too late to make a decision after the line is found out."

Ji Huan, the Minister of War, looked at the Seventh Prince coldly and shouted: "The father is going to be killed by the Right Camp of the Yulin Guard. Lao Qi, you are still protecting them. Li Xin was the first to be present that day. Maybe even he has something to do with Zhou Dainian!"

His Highness the King of Wei stood up, closed his eyes and said, "Yulin Guard is led by the emperor, and his father's personal army. Now that the father has not spoken, do you have to kill his old man's personal army?"

"The bullshit personal army, how can there be the personal army that will bring the assassins in!"

At this time, the fourth prince no longer cared about his reserved demeanor. He stood up and said coldly: "According to my wishes, this matter should be handled according to the witchcraft case of Emperor Wu. If anyone involved, he would touch the vines and then pull out the melon seedlings, killing the generals layer by layer. One to give his father a breath, and the other to let the thieves know that my Ji family is not easy to bully!"

Emperor Wu, that is, during the reign of the late emperor, a concubine buried witchcraft in the palace in the harem, intending to nightmare Emperor Wu and imperial physicians. After that, the incident happened. Emperor Wu, who had just unified the world, was furious and ordered a prison to be brought on.

The person in charge of the case at that time was named Zhou Yuanli. This man was a cruel official, so he touched the vines all the way from this concubine. The vines were drawn out of the melon seedlings, and the melon seedlings pulled out the vines, and it continued over and over again, so that after three years, tens of thousands of people died in this witchcraft case!

This old story was later called "Melon Man Zhuan".

After Emperor Chengde ascended the throne, he was much more kind than the late emperor. There was no such prison in the entire Chengde Dynasty. Gradually, everyone left behind the witchcraft case for more than 20 years behind. At this time, the fourth prince suddenly mentioned the old story again.

Huan Chu, the attendant's servant, had his eyes trembled, and he looked at Ji Huan with a little displeasure.

If this person becomes emperor, he will probably be a tyrant in the future.

His Highness King Wei's face looked a little unfavorable. He lowered his head and said, "The Fourth Brother is going to start a melon man again?"

Ji Huan raised his head.

"What's wrong?"

His Highness the King of Wei shook his head, turned his head and bowed to Zhang Qu: "Haoran Gong, all matters in the court have always been decided by the father and the prime ministers. Now that the father is in good health, he cannot take matters. We younger generations have shallow knowledge and are not convenient to interfere in national affairs. Please make decisions by elders."

The seventh prince's words rejected all the rights of the four princes to participate.

At this moment, not only the seventh prince, but also the eldest prince Ji Ji and the third prince Ji Chong looked at Lao Qi with a little bad look.

Zhang Qu turned to look at the fourth prince Ji Huan, shook his head and said, "Your Highness, the old story of the melon mane was stained with the Qinhuai River for three years. Now the Holy Emperor governs the world with benevolence. It is better not to mention such a tragic old story again."

Ji Huan took a deep breath and did not persist in this matter.

He originally wanted to use this matter to please Emperor Chengde, but his father is still in Changle Palace and I don’t know what the situation is. If he offended several prime ministers because of this matter, it would be a bad idea.

What's more, he has no power to fight against several prime ministers.

Haoran Gong lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then discussed with the Secretary of the Central Committee Wu Dongyang, the Secretary of the Sect, Huan Chu and others, and finally said, "Everyone, now that Your Majesty is slightly ill, I dare to speak for the court once. This time, the bandits are in chaos, which is really a ruthless thing. Heaven and earth are not tolerant, so I asked the Three Laws to send people to lead the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, His Highness Zhao, to investigate the case. What do you think?"

The Ministry of Justice is also one of the three judicial departments. The third prince Ji Chong is both the prince and the Minister of Justice. It is perfect for him to be responsible for this matter.

After Zhang Qu spoke, these subordinates naturally did not dare to refute and nodded, "So as Haoran said."

The seventh prince stood up and hugged Zhang Qu.

"Zhang Xiang, the Tianmu Superintendent in the palace should be able to help with this matter. Xiao Wang went to find Eunuch Chen and asked him to send Tianmu Superintendent to help the third brother investigate the case."

Zhang Qu nodded slightly.

"Please trouble Your Highness, King of Wei."
