The letter left by Tie Wenxiong was a sharp blade, a sharp blade aimed at Zhao Run.

Fortunately, Empress Dowager Li and Zhao Zhen were not stupid, and they didn't believe that Zhao Run really molested Fang Meiren.

If any of them, mother and son, believed it, then Tie Wenxiong's letter would fall on Zhao Run.

The Wenchen and Tie Wenxiong are colleagues, Tie Wenxiong used his own life to fight, and some of the Wenchen will inevitably write to impeach Zhao Run.

As long as there are enough officials who impeach Zhao Run, people in the government and the opposition will take Zhao Run's flirtation of Fang Meiren as a real thing.

Destroying humanity is intolerable to heaven and earth.

Zhao Run's position as crown prince will inevitably be deposed, and Empress Cao will also be implicated.

The strategy to deal with Zhao Run and Queen Cao's mother and son can be said to be one ring after another.

Kou Ji is almost certain that nine out of ten of Fang Meiren has been used.

If she had the ability to let a promising Jixian Pavilion be restrained and die for her willingly, then she would not put herself in danger and die in Zhao Zhen's bedroom.

Kou Ji was also a master of setting up a game before, and he knew very well that a person who set up a game would never put himself in danger.

It is impossible to risk your own life.

Using other people's lives to achieve one's own goals is the means that a master of setting up a game should have.

I am afraid that there is not only one Fang Meiren and one Tiewen Xiong in the middle of this matter.

I'm afraid there are people behind it, and there is more than one.

A simple trap, so carefully laid out, and ring after ring.

The means of the mastermind behind the scenes are not low.

Although the more people who use it, the easier it is to leave traces.

But with such a layout, it is easier to erase your own traces and cut off the clues.

Kou Ji speculated at this, and glanced at Fang Meiren, who had been reduced to a corpse, with some pity.

Fang Meiren is afraid that until she dies, she doesn't know the whole picture of the matter, and she doesn't know who the person behind it is.

Kou Ji's eyes fell on Chen Lin and asked, "What about the people related to Fang Meiren?" ”

Chen Lin said bluntly: "There are three people of the same nationality and six relatives, and there are a lot of people who have met ......."

Kou Ji sighed, "The Manchu Dynasty has seen all the civil and military affairs, including me?" ”

Chen Lin nodded.

Kou Ji said: "First detain three people of the same nationality and six relatives. Send someone to check again, in the past year, whether Fang Meiren has been out of the palace, who has been in contact with, who the cronies in the palace have been in contact with, and who have been in contact with those officials in the house. ”

Chen Lin nodded again.

Kou Ji smiled, "Now the clue is broken, but the prince's flirtation with Fang Meiren has been clarified, and it is purely a false accusation." I'll go to the Ming official's house, Chen Lin, you send someone to the Criminal Law Department, tell the envoy Bao Zheng, and ask him to arrest all the three clans of the Fang family.

After I finish the case, I will be sent to the border at the same time. ”

Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, "Prime Minister...... Will the disposal be lighter? Framing the prince is a felony. ”

Kou Ji said indifferently: "I will be a Ming official, you don't need to worry about it." By the way, it was said that Fang Meiren was snubbed by the official family and suffered from heart disease, like a madman, mistaking the prince for an official, and destroying the clothes while pulling, and the palace people mistakenly thought that the prince wanted to do wrong, and sued the matter.

It has now been ascertained that the palace people who made false accusations have been killed with a cane.

Fang Meiren died of madness, which shocked the queen mother.

The official family was furious and sentenced his three clans to be allocated. ”

Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, bowed down and said, "Huh! ”

Chen Lin finally understood why Kou Ji would let go of the Fang clan.

Purely to cover the royal shame.

Chen Lin understands Zhao Zhen.

With Zhao Zhen's temperament, he will definitely approve of Kou Ji's approach.

After Kou Ji finished instructing Chen Lin, he smiled and said to the concubines in the dormitory: "You ladies must be silent, right?" After all, after the truth of this matter is spread, it will not only be bad for the reputation of the royal family, but also bad for your reputation. ”

When Fang Meiren 'confessed' before, the words 'I am empty, I am lonely' were very lethal.

Otherwise, Zhang Guifei would not have disregarded her manners and rushed up to slap her.

If it spreads, all the women in the palace will probably wear the hat of a resentful woman.

They are all noble, but they don't want to be called resentful women.

Zhang Guifei snorted and took the lead in speaking: "The palace and the others naturally know the severity, and they will never reveal half a point, let alone let the slaves and maids in the palace go out to chew their tongues." ”

Concubine Zhou Shufei gritted her teeth and said: "For the sake of the reputation of Bengong and others, I can only cheapen that slut's family." ”

Kou Ji smiled indifferently, arched his hand, and left the dormitory.

Chen Lin hurriedly followed.

The two of them walked to a place where there were few people.

Kou Ji beckoned to Chen Lin.

Chen Lin hurriedly stepped forward, and Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "Go check and see if that noble person has been to Fang Meiren Palace in the past year." ”

Chen Lin frowned and said, "Do you suspect that there are other nobles involved?" ”

Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin.

He didn't believe Chen Lin, an old ghost, and he couldn't see that there was anything greasy in it.

Seeing this, Chen Lin said dryly: "This matter is not easy to investigate......

Kou Ji said unexpectedly: "There are still people in the palace who you Chen Lin dare not investigate." ”

Chen Lin said faintly: "If our family told you that in the past year, the person who has been to Fang Meiren Palace the most times is Concubine Xian, what will you do?" ”

"Concubine Xian?"

Koji frowned.

Chen Lin nodded, "Concubine Xian is quiet, and so is Fang Meiren." Both nobles like to read and taste poetry, so they often taste poetry together. ”

Kou Ji groaned, "Concubine Xian...... There's no reason for that. ”

Concubine Zhang Xian has no prince, why did she wade into this troubled water?

Is it to help her sister Zhang Guifei?

But if she helps Concubine Zhang, she can't use this method.

She and Koji are in-laws.

In this way, it is easy to stuff Zhang Guifei's son into Kou Ji's mansion.

It is also easy to win over Kou Ji in this way.

There is no need to risk calculating Empress Cao and Zhao Run's mother and son.

Concubine Zhang Xian is not a stupid person, she decisively promised Princess Baoqing to Kou Tianci when Princess Baoqing was young.

It is enough to show that she saw that the Kou family was very wealthy.

In this case, she would not be unaware of Kou Ji's influence on the road to succession.

There will be no one who will leave the road to heaven and go to the cliffs, right?

Chen Lin nodded and said, "Our family also thinks that it is impossible to be a virtuous concubine." ”

Kou Ji asked: "Except for Concubine Xian, no other concubines have been to Fang Meiren's dormitory?" ”

Chen Lin said frankly: "There are three other nobles, but they are all bullying Fang Meiren. Fang Meiren couldn't believe them. ”

Kou Ji said: "It's better to check." ”

Chen Lin promised: "Our family will send someone to check when we turn back." ”

After Kou Ji and Chen Lin finished speaking, they rushed to see Zhao Zhen silently.

After arriving at the council hall, I learned that Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao went to the imperial hospital.

Kou Ji did not go to the imperial hospital, but waited in the council hall.

Chen Lin rushed to the imperial hospital to report.

After a long time, Zhao Zhen hurried back to the council hall from the imperial hospital.

As soon as he entered the door of the council hall, he asked, "Run'er was wronged?" ”

Kou Ji saw that Zhao Zhen didn't mean to let him give a gift, so he simply didn't give a gift.

He smiled and said, "Didn't you already know that the prince was wronged? ”

Zhao Zhen sighed: "If you know, you know, but it's impossible for me to say that Run'er is innocent without asking, right?" I am willing, neither are the women in the harem, nor are the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "So I need the minister to find out the truth and give everyone an answer." ”

Zhao Zhen sighed, "Everyone thinks that I, the emperor, can do whatever I want, but I don't know that everything I do must be convincing.

The question is, people have selfish intentions, how can they do everything convincingly? ”

After saying this, Zhao Zhen instructed Chen Lin to move the reclining chair, prepare refreshments, and then let Chen Lin withdraw from the meeting hall.

There were only two people left in the council hall, Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji.

The two were lying on a recliner.

Zhao Zhen no longer had the freedom just now, and said with a hideous face: "Someone wants to use this to remind me of the dirty things Liu Congmei did in the palace back then, and let me start killing."

It's best to lose your mind and give death to Queen Cao and Run'er. ”

Kou Ji sighed and said, "The past has passed, and the minister didn't even want to mention it, let alone think about it again." ”

Kou Ji knew that what Zhao Zhen said was right, this was also one of the killer moves of the people behind the layout.

Otherwise, there is no need for the people behind the scenes to use the women of the harem to set up a game.

There are too many ways to deal with the prince.

There is no particular reason for this, and there is no need for such a way that will attract everyone's attention.

Kou Ji didn't want to think about it in this regard, because he really didn't want to bring up the old matter again, which made Zhao Zhen unhappy.

After all, there are still people in the Liu family alive now, and they are in Bianjing City.

Zhao Zhen clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "But someone doesn't want us monarchs to forget this time." ”

Kou Ji let out a long sigh, "Then we, the monarchs, will try to make everyone forget about it." ”

After saying this, without waiting for Zhao Zhen to speak again, Kou Ji said again: "How does the official family view the matter of the minister's disposal of the Fang family. ”

Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "Chen Lin has already told me about this, and you also spared Fang's people in order to maintain the royal face."

When the queen mother learned about this, she sent someone to the imperial hospital to send a message to me, saying that you handled it well, and asked me to give it to you.

It can be seen that the queen mother is also unwilling to let the royal scandal leak. ”

Kou Ji said frankly: "In fact, the ministers treated Fang's people lightly, firstly, to maintain the royal face, and secondly, because Fang Meiren was not actually the mastermind, she was just being used."

I'm afraid that the people of the Fang clan don't know anything, and it is not appropriate to start killing. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji, stared straight at Kou Ji and said, "She has someone outside, right?" ”

Kou Ji asked, "Why did the official family say this?" ”

Zhao Zhen said coldly: "You threatened the lives of her whole family, but she refused to admit her guilt." When you wanted to find out who had a relationship with her, she confessed to the law and died in my bedroom, and there was no proof of her death.

It shows that she is protecting someone.

She doesn't even care about her family, but she can die headlong for someone other than her family.

That means that the person she wants to protect is more important in her heart than her family.

For a stupid woman, more important than her family, I'm afraid there is only a lover. ”

Kou Ji frowned, and said in a deep voice: "When she entered the palace, she was a virgin. Otherwise, you won't be able to pass the level of the Cai Nu Palace.

When Liu Congmei was evil, she was not implicated.

After Liu Congmei did evil, she didn't have a chance. ”

Since Liu Congmei messed with the harem, except for Zhao Zhen and a few princes, no other normal man can contact the women in the palace.

So it is impossible for Fang Meiren to be disloyal to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen said coldly: "If you are unfaithful in your heart, you are also unfaithful!" ”

Hearing this, Kou Ji sighed in his heart.

He felt that Zhao Zhen was a little self-deceived.

There are so many women in the palace, it is impossible for every one of them to fall in love with him.

Those women were not raised in the palace since childhood.

It's not surprising that they have one or two childhood sweethearts hidden in their hearts.

After all, Zhao Zhen has so many women, and he doesn't like rain and dew very much, so he favors those few.

When the other concubines are lonely, it's very common to think about childhood sweethearts.

But Kou Ji couldn't tell Zhao Zhen about this.

Emperors are all loners and only husbands.

His stuff definitely doesn't like to make anyone worry about it.

His things, even if he himself does not care, cannot give birth to disloyalty.

Kou Ji sighed: "Chen feels that she is more like being threatened. ”

Zhao Zhen didn't believe it and said: "She is not even afraid of death, but she is afraid of being threatened?" ”

Kou Ji said faintly: "There are some threats, which are more terrible than death. ”

Zhao Zhen sat up and stared at Kou Ji, "For example?" ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "For example, if someone threatens the ministers with the lives of Tianci and Hui'er, the ministers will immediately comply." ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head, "This is not a ......"

Kou Ji was silent for a moment, and said, "If someone can come up with a cure for the plague and force the minister to die, the minister will not hesitate. ”

Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "You mean, someone has a secret in his hand that is worthy of Fang Meiren's life?" ”

Koji nodded.

Zhao Zhen said decisively: "I don't believe it! You check it for me! After I find out and get the evidence, I can believe it! ”

Kou Ji hugged his fists and said: "The minister is naturally duty-bound. ”

Zhao Zhen continued: "By the way, help me dig out the mastermind behind it, and I want her to know the price of provoking me." ”

Kou Ji instigated: "As long as the official family cuts down all the concubines in the harem, they will definitely hack the real mastermind to death." ”

Zhao Zhen stood up, stared at Kou Ji and said angrily, "Do I seem to be sick?" ”

Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "It's not like that! ”

Zhao Zhen glared at Kou Ji and said, "Then I will do that kind of brainless thing?" ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "It's better to kill the wrong one than let it go." ”

Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes, "I've gone to the Imperial Hospital, and this matter will be left to you." ”

Kou Ji got up.

"Obey the order!"

Zhao Zhen flicked his sleeves and left the meeting hall.

The smile on Kou Ji's face slowly dissipated, and he let out a sigh.

Zhao Zhen was clearly full of murderous intent just now.

Fortunately, he made a gag to stir things up, so that Zhao Zhen temporarily extinguished his murderous intentions.

Kou Ji sighed: "I hope Fang Meiren is not disloyal, otherwise the people of the three clans of the Fang family will probably die." ”

Kou Ji walked out of the council hall with his hands behind his back, and saw Chen Lin waiting outside the council hall.

Kou Ji asked, "Didn't you go to the imperial hospital with the official family?" ”

Chen Lin said lightly: "The official family has asked our family to follow you in the past few days." ”

Kou Ji nodded and said to Chen Lin, "Can you not tell the official family everything." ”

Chen Lin shook his head, "Our family will not deceive the official family." ”

Kou Ji said bluntly: "But everything has not been ascertained, and just a little inference and speculation will hurt the official family." ”

Chen Lin sighed, stared at Kou Ji, and said seriously: "Do you think the official family will be pitiful if they guessed that Fang Meiren was unfaithful to him?"

Have you ever thought about it if our family doesn't tell the truth to the officials.

There is no one in this world who tells the truth to the officials.

At that time, the official family will be even more pitiful. ”

When Kou Ji heard Chen Lin's words, he couldn't say anything to refute it.

Kou Ji shook his head, didn't say anything more, and walked out of the palace with his hands behind his back.

Chen Lin trotted to keep up with Kou Ji.

Seeing Chen Lin coming up, Kou Ji frowned and said, "If you don't investigate, what are you going to do with me?" ”

Chen Lin said without being salty or indifferent: "What should be checked, naturally someone will check it." The official family asked our family to follow you, and our family naturally had to follow you. ”

Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin and said, "Then you go and try the people who have been arrested." ”

Chen Lin hesitated and asked, "Are you sure you want our family to interrogate?" ”

Kou Ji asked, "Got a problem?" ”

Chen Lin said lightly: "In addition to the six people of the Fang family who will be dismissed, the remaining three people of the same nationality may not necessarily be dismissed. ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "You won't do it?" ”

Chen Lin said confidently: "Our family has always been to achieve the goal, unscrupulous means. ”

Kou Ji glared at Chen Lin, obviously a villain's style, and he was stunned by Chen Lin's righteousness.

"Go check if those three guys have ever been to the Heavenly Saint Pavilion. Check again the Jinshi who are in the same department as Ouyang Xiu, Bao Zheng and others, and see if there are any close to the palace, or if they are related. ”

Kou Ji commanded.

Chen Lin frowned and said, "Those are all your protégés, and Ouyang Xiu is already ranked second-class, but he is an important minister." ”

"Is there a check for you to be open-minded. This matter is very involved, and no one can sleep until it is investigated. ”

Kou Ji sighed.

Chen Lin hesitated, but finally nodded.

For example, Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan and others are already ministers of the humerus in the court, and such important ministers cannot be easily investigated.

Once discovered, it is easy to hurt the feelings of the monarch and the minister.

It's also easy to force people to pick on them.

This matter needs to be presided over by Chen Lin in person, so as not to leave a trace.

So Chen Lin didn't follow Kou Ji anymore.

Kou Ji got into the carriage and left the palace, and saw Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu and others reconverging in front of Donghua Gate.

Seeing Koji's carriage, a crowd of people gathered up.

After the salute.

Fan Zhongyan, the eldest, spoke, "Sir, how is the situation in the palace?" ”

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "It has been ascertained that the prince was framed. Someone will inform you in the specific Huihui Palace. ”

Fan Zhongyan and the others glanced at each other.

Fan Zhongyan hesitated: "Is that really the case? ”

Kou Ji laughed, "Otherwise? Are you still looking forward to some scandal in the palace? ”

Fan Zhongyan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Mr. said that he was joking, as a minister, how could he expect a scandal from Renjun." It's just about the prince, so you have to be careful. ”

Kou Ji said frankly: "I won't hide it from you, the cause of this incident is related to the Great Food Book. Previously, when translating the Great Food Book, there was a medical book that recorded a prescription for treating fever.

Because there are big drawbacks, I didn't let people publicize them.

But Fang Meiren didn't know how to know this recipe.

After the slave maid in her palace had a fever, she also tried it.

Confirm that the recipe works.

The prince didn't know that the prescription was obtained from the big food books, and he knew that Fang Meiren had medicine to cure fever, so he wanted to ask for the prescription to benefit the people.

But Fang Meiren was worried and sick, and mistook the prince for an official.

Between pulling, the clothes were damaged.

The palace people mistakenly thought that the prince wanted to do wrong, so they took down the prince and handed it over to the official family for disposal.

After the official asked the reason, he planned to laugh it off.

Unexpectedly, Fang Meiren came to her senses at this time, and died in shame and anger.

This move disturbed the Queen Mother, the official family was furious, and the Fang family was afraid that they would be offended. ”

In the end, Kou Ji was full of pity.

After Fan Zhongyan and the others listened to Kou Ji's speech, they were stunned for a while.

The 'truth' that Koji spoke of was very different from what they had heard.

They couldn't react for a moment.

"The prince cares for the people, and we should drink and sing......"

Bao Zheng suddenly shouted loudly.

Fan Zhongyan and the others all looked at Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng said with a straight face: "Am I not right?" ”

Fan Zhongyan and the others reacted immediately and nodded in unison.

"The prince cares about the people, we should really celebrate......"

"The prince is benevolent, and he praises ...... when he writes"

"It should also be written to the official family, so that the official family can be ...... with rain and dew."

"Isn't it a little too ......much?"

"How can it be? The official family is wet with rain and dew, maybe there will be more princes and princesses......"

"It's a pity that the Fang family ......"

"How can it be a pity? collided with the official family, and we can still write a book to defend the Fang family, but I collided with the queen mother, how to defend it? As a human minister, do we want to trap the king for unfilial piety? ”

“……”

Fan Zhongyan and the others were talking one by one.

They are all smart people, and after Bao Zheng's reminder, they immediately understood the joints.

The set of rhetoric given by Kou Ji was in line with their wishes.

What's more, Kou Ji said this, which shows that the prince really doesn't want to do anything wrong and do something angry and resentful.

Otherwise, Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji will definitely not be able to bypass the prince.

Since the prince has no intention of doing wrong, then the world is fine.

Fang Meiren lives or dies, they don't care.

The Fang family is alive or dead, and they don't care.

The life and death of Fang Meiren and the Fang family can't shake the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, and they can't make any big waves in Bianjing.

The reaction of Fan Zhongyan and the others was expected by Kou Ji.

Although Kou Ji said a set of lies, the information that Fan Zhongyan and the others cared about, Kou Ji had already revealed to them.

Kou Ji said with a smile after Fan Zhongyan and the others lowered their voices: "The official family and the queen are now in the imperial hospital to debate the prescription of the Great Food, and want to see if they can use the pharmacology of Yin and Yang to eliminate the harm in the Great Food Prescription.

If it succeeds, the people of the Great Song Dynasty will never be bothered by fever again.

When the time comes, millions of Lebanese people will benefit from this.

Ladies and gentlemen, we should recommend the holy hand of the doctor as soon as possible to seek the blessings of the people. ”

Koji said in the end, impassionedly.

Fan Zhongyan and the others were also enthusiastic when they listened.

If you don't have blood, you can't do it, and the lethality of fever to the people of the Great Song Dynasty is too great.

If the fever can be solved, the survival rate of the people of the Great Song Dynasty will skyrocket.
