Chapter 1349: Seeing blood in person(2/2)
"Since you don't want to train my troops properly, then don't train!"
Immediately, he issued an order and asked people to go to the cavalry camp outside Stone City with their own edicts and reprimand Zhu Ju in public.
Then he was asked to enter the palace immediately and asked him face to face whose rumor he had listened to, saying that he wanted to depose the prince.
Zhu Ju naturally couldn't tell Lu Yin, but he kowtowed repeatedly and said that the prince had not been seen in front of everyone for a long time, and anyone who was worried about the country would be worried.
Now there are rumors outside that your Majesty favors King Lu and underestimates the prince, and in the long run King Lu will be established.
I was worried, so I came to Shu...
How could Sun Quan easily believe Zhu Ju's words?
Seeing that Zhu Ju refused to speak out, he became even more angry. He did not let him return to the military camp, but asked him to return to his house to reflect.
Then he summoned Yang Zhu into the palace and asked Yang Zhu sternly if he had leaked the secret talks about deposing the prince.
Yang Zhu was so frightened on the spot that his face turned pale. He knelt down and pointed to the sky and swore that he had never leaked a word.
The words of Zhu Ju and Yang Zhu did not dispel Sun Quan's suspicion, but made him more suspicious.
He threw Zhu Ju's memorial in front of Yang Zhu and shouted:
"You and I were the only ones present at that time, but even the military camp outside the city knew about this matter. How do you explain it?"
When Yang Zhu heard this, he immediately sweated all over his back, kowtowed repeatedly, and said that he was wronged.
"Then you go and investigate!" Seeing that Yang Zhu still didn't admit it, Sun Quan ordered with a gloomy face, "Go and investigate for me and see how the news was leaked!"
As he spoke, he emphasized his tone every word: "Find out for me who told Zhu Zifan the news!"
"If not, then you must have leaked it!"
When Yang Zhu heard this, he knew that this was his only way to survive, so he did not dare to neglect and quickly agreed.
As a well-known talent in Jiangdong, although Yang Zhu's character is not very good, his mind changes very quickly.
Especially after Sun Quan pointed out Zhu Zhi.
"Zhu Zifan has always been in the military camp outside the city. If he can get the news, someone must have gone to the camp to report the news. Just check who has gone to look for him outside the city in recent days."
After figuring this out, Yang Zhu immediately went to ask King Lu.
It would definitely take a lot of effort to find out this on your own.
But if we can rely on the power of King Lu, it will be different.
Moreover, when Yang Zhu swore in front of Sun Quan, he actually lied to Sun Quan.
Because he wanted to claim credit in front of King Lu, he once mentioned it to King Sun Ba of Lu in private, even detailing it word for word.
When King Lu heard that it was related to this matter, how could he not do anything?
Immediately send someone to investigate.
Lu Yin's whereabouts were easily discovered.
When Yang Zhu was rewarded, as if he had obtained a treasure, he did not dare to delay for a moment. He immediately requested an audience with Sun Quan and reported the result to Sun Quan. He also insisted that it was Lu Yin who must have told Zhu Ju.
Even before Lu Yin went to see Zhu Zhi, he went to the general's house and informed Sun Quan.
First, to enhance credibility, and more importantly, he wanted to involve Lu Xun, the most important figure in the prince's party, through Lu Yin.
Obviously, Yang Zhu's goal was achieved.
When Sun Quan heard that Lu Xun might be involved, he immediately became furious:
"Okay, okay! I'm not dead yet, you all want the power of the dragon, right?"
His body had just improved, but as the blood rushed to his forehead, Sun Quan felt that his temples were pulsing, and even his eyes seemed to bulge out.
Stars flashed in front of his eyes. Sun Quan fell back on the couch and lay down weakly. He closed his eyes and rested for a while, then opened his eyes again:
"Someone is coming!"
"His Majesty?"
"According to my decree, Lu Yin boldly inquired about the palace confinement. He had evil intentions and asked Yousi to imprison him immediately and set a day for interrogation."
"Here!"
Sun Quan's eyes fell on Yang Zhu again, and he said coldly:
"As for you, you should also be put in prison. I want to see between the two of you, whether it was you who leaked the matter about the palace ban, or whether he was spreading the matter about the palace ban!"
Now that things have happened, Sun Quan, who personally provoked the dispute between the crown prince and King Lu, can guess it with his eyes closed:
These two people, and even the respective forces behind them, cannot be clean.
But Sun Quan must find out who leaked this matter.
This is not only an issue related to the privacy and security of the palace, but also an issue related to the majesty of the emperor.
If something like this happens and cannot be strictly investigated, then in the future, in the forbidden areas of the palace, will everyone want to investigate?
Who is still afraid of imperial power?
Where else can he put his emperor's face?
Who would take him as the emperor seriously?
Sun Quan's eyes were flashing with overwhelming anger.
After suffering such a serious illness, he suddenly realized that the development of things seemed to be a bit beyond his control.
So he needed an opportunity to use thunderous means to scare the officials.
It also announced the emperor's return.
After recuperating for a long time, all the ministers in the court were forming cliques for personal gain. Everyone wanted to follow the dragon's achievements, and they seemed to have forgotten who was the emperor of Wu.
Under Sun Quan's instruction, Yousi did not follow the procedures at all when dealing with Lu Yin and Yang Zhu in prison.
Instead, they were directly executed in order to pry the truth out of the two of them as soon as possible.
There is no such thing as the Eight Discussions or the punishment that cannot go to the doctor.
The news that the two men were being tortured in prison quickly spread to many people's ears due to the spread of the news.
Zhu Ju, who had just finished his self-reflection in his mansion, was immediately anxious after hearing the news.
Because he knew very well that the conversation between His Majesty and Yang Zhu, that is, the news of changing the crown prince and establishing King Lu, was told to him by Lu Yin himself.
