0397 The Secret of the King's Killer
Although Song Yi didn't describe himself much, Shen Zhezi could also imagine that a master with ambition to prosper was framed like this for a while, and then he was trapped in the garden, not only his physical condition was worrying, but his spirit was also extremely bad. If there is no meticulous care from this Song Ji, she may not be able to survive for so long, and she will not die until the princess gets married.
What kind of ambition and ambition a person has in his life, when he is dying, he only thinks about blood and family. Even Shi Le's murderous generation, before he died, hoped that Shi Hu's jackal generation could carefully assist his children and grandchildren, but unfortunately after all, his children and grandchildren followed him one after another.
For the first emperor, Shen Zhezi really has a deep feeling, and he is also very honored to be able to choose to be a tuogu in his eyes. If you don't have this appreciation, it would be difficult for you to achieve what you are today. From this point of view, he is not only grateful to the first emperor, but also to Song Ji for taking care of the first emperor, if the first emperor dies prematurely, he may not be able to hold hands with the princess.
In fact, from Shen Zhezi's heart, he felt that when the first emperor was dying, he was lucky to have a supple and considerate woman like Song Yi to accompany him. Although the meeting was very short, Shen Zhezi could feel that this Song Yi had a tranquil and serene temperament, which could soothe too many distracting thoughts in people's hearts.
This woman can indeed be called a beauty, but she is not so beautiful that she can be admired at first glance. Although there is age reasons, if you look alone, she is not as beautiful as her little maid Gua'er, and even slightly inferior to the queen mother. But it is precisely because of the charm accumulated over the years that it has accumulated from its heart and then emanated, it has become a unique scenery in the world.
In comparison, his genuine mother-in-law is beautiful, but she lacks a soul. If it's just ignorance, his personality is somewhat similar to Yu Liang, and he is a little willful, extreme and doesn't know how to converge. Such a character may be called a personality in later generations, but it is not a good thing to be around the emperor. In addition, Yu Liang did have a seclusion of the first emperor at that time, and the first emperor's alienation and disgust with the queen mother in the last years can be understood.
Of course, these thoughts are disrespectful to the elders, and now the queen mother treats him with affection and trust, but to be honest, if he really wants to live at home, Shen Zhezi is also willing to choose a woman with a temperament like Song Ji.
Fortunately, the princess entered his house early, otherwise she would have grown up under the influence of the queen mother, and the future would have been that strange character that was difficult to approach, and it was impossible to be as docile and lovely as she is now. Of course, the current gentleness is only for his own family, and there is still no lack of fierceness and strength to the outside world.
Listening to the process of her father from illness to death again, the princess couldn't cry again, and Shen Zhezi asked the princess to help her down. He didn't want to bother Song Yi for a long time, so he got up and said: "Thank you Song Niangzi for telling me the secret, please Song Niangzi live here temporarily, if you have a favorite place to go in the future, even if you say it bluntly, you will give it a gift." ”
"The concubine is in the dust, how dare you expect too much, it is a great fortune to have a place to live."
Song Yi got up to send it off, she also knew that Shen Zhezi was just polite when she said this, when she told the princess this secret, she knew that she could no longer be free for the rest of her life, if she was lucky, she could be raised, and if she was unlucky, she was killed. Now that Shen Zhezi did not show murderous intent to her, she was relieved.
Hearing this cautious answer, Shen Zhezi sighed in his heart, this woman is also pitiful, or she can save her life because of her beauty, but she can't be stable all her life as a plaything. But in this world, the poor do not know how many people there are, and there is no need to pity one person alone.
This Song Yi can also be regarded as helping herself, and after a little muttering, Shen Zhezi comforted her again: "Song Niangzi was forbidden to enter and leave the garden in her early years, and there were many acquaintances, and it is really inconvenient to send it out now." If Song Niangzi has no concern here, I would like to send my lady to live in a good place in my Wuxing Township, I don't know if the lady is willing? ”
Hearing Shen Zhezi explain the specific arrangements for her, Song Yi knew that her life was completely out of danger, as for where she was willing to go? She has been tossing and turning for half her life, all she sees are high walls and mansions, and she knows where to go?
After walking out of the small building where Song Yi lived, Shen Zhezi's heart fluctuated a little. Song Yi made it very clear that the first emperor took the cold food sent by the king of Nanton, and gradually accumulated poison and ruined his body. When she left Yuancheng, she brought with her some of the scattered people that the emperor had served, and there were indeed some ingredients that should not be there. Therefore, the first emperor was chronically poisoned and eventually died.
In fact, there are many speculations about the untimely death of the first emperor, and the biggest suspicion is this Song Ji. Some people say that Song Ji was sent by Wang Dun to the undercover agent in the garden, aiming to make the first emperor obsessed with women, and eventually indulge in longevity. In fact, this kind of wild history records that love fragrant and glamorous are no different from the peasant women in the field guessing that there is a jar of brown sugar at the head of the queen in the palace and eating sugar day and night.
It is true that the appetite is also sexual, but what the first emperor did in the first year of his reign is indeed a promising master. Of course, there is no conflict between lust and deeds, but even if the Wang Dun Rebellion was quelled, it could not be said that Haiyan Heqing was clear at that time. The arrangement of the current situation after the pacification of Wang Dun showed the political wisdom of the first emperor. It is hard for such an emperor to imagine that he would indulge in lust and die in the face of internal and external troubles.
Things have come to this point, but they actually have nothing to do with the Langya Wang family. Even if it was poisoned, it was done by King Nanton. The princess persevered in her pursuit and eventually made a new discovery. But even if Shen Zhezi didn't investigate, he felt that this matter could not be done by King Nanton alone.
At that time, King Nanton really had no motive to poison the first emperor, and it was impossible for him to usurp the throne, and the first emperor generally took good care of their clans. So there must have been something else going on in this matter, either the king of Nanton conspired with others, or he was also used as a gunman.
The result of the princess's investigation was that she found another big fish.
Shen Zhezi walked around the manor for a while, and was soon led to a dungeon by Liu Chang. The dungeon was dimly lit and the breath was turbid, and Shen Zhezi didn't go down, but just asked people to lift the prisoners inside, and he walked to a bamboo pavilion under the rockery.
As soon as he sat down, he heard an old and mournful howl from the dungeon: "The little people should die, the little people should die...... The trick has already been recruited, just want to die quickly......"
The two strong servants clamped the body of an old man and walked down to the outside of the bamboo pavilion, and before they got close, there was a fishy smell that permeated. Shen Zhezi waved his hand and asked people to throw it outside the bamboo pavilion, and then looked carefully, only to see that the figure on the ground was an old man, with gray hair covering his face, and there were traces of whipping everywhere on his body, some of which had scabbed, and some were still oozing blood, which was miserable to look at.
Shen Zhezi will not be sympathetic because of people's age, some people are older but the lower their virtue is, they are still old and immortal. The old man groaned on the ground, and Shen Zhezi was not in a hurry to interrogate him, but just looked at the things that Liu Chang handed over to the old man.
The old man's name is Yan Mu, and he is also a person from Nandu, who lived in Zhongshan earlier, and fled to Jingkou because of the broken city of Liyang. This old man himself is not an old surname, nor is he a nobleman, but his fame is not small, and he has an extremely exquisite dispersion technique, which is tantamount to an emperor superstar nowadays, and there is no shortage of people who seek after him wherever he goes, so although he fled to Beijing, he is also very popular.
The cold food powder that King Nanton offered into the garden was from this person. After the princess knew that there was a problem with the dispersion of the first emperor, she followed this line to investigate, and soon found Yan Mu, who was respected in a Heavenly Master Dao altar in Jingkou. Then Liu Chang arranged for people to attack the Taoist altar at night and kidnap people, and after some interrogation, the result was surprising.
Nowadays, there are many people who are disobedient, and this old man has this skill, so he is naturally very popular. King Nanton wanted to enter the garden of dedication to invite his favor, so he naturally found the old man. The king of the sect has a request, and it is a heavy promise, and the old man does not dare to be sloppy, and he is dedicated to the dispersal of the king of Nanton. At first, there was no surprise, but soon after, another man approached the old man and coerced and lured him to add some ingredients to the dispersal that King Nanton had requested.
And that person is Wang Shu!
At this point, things can be said to have come to an end. Did Wang Shu have a motive to kill the king? Of course! He did not hesitate to turn his back on his clan and betray Wang Dun in order to survive himself, but afterwards he was mercilessly taken away from the position of Jingzhou Assassin and left idle! Did Wang Shu have the guts to kill the king? The brothers of the Wang family Nandu are the most decisive and ruthless of him!
As for whether King Nanton colluded with Wang Shu, or whether Yu Liang, Wang Dao and others knew about it, it doesn't matter now.
The result was unexpected, but when you think about it, it makes sense. It's a sin to be too good, especially in the current Jiangdong, the last thing you need is a king with great talent!
In fact, before coming, Shen Zhezi had already known everything from the princess. Now I asked in person, in addition to confirming again, I was also quite curious about this old man named Yan Mu.
After learning the name from the princess, he vaguely felt a little familiar, and remembered it for a long time before he remembered that the first time he heard the old man's name was in Yu Tiao's mouth. At that time, he entered the capital as an alternate emperor's son-in-law, and Yu Tiaoshang was ambitious about the great cause of dispersion, but later many things were busy, and gradually this matter was left behind.
This old man was really unlucky, and he actually went around and fell into his own hands.
"Look up."
Shen Zhezi put down the file and pointed to the old man outside the bamboo pavilion. The old man was still humming and moaning, but he didn't hear Shen Zhezi's words, and only when he was kicked did he struggle to kneel, kowtowed, and said: "Xiaomin is guilty, Xiaomin is guilty......"
"You are guilty, for sure, I heard that you once sat and talked with He Shangshu of the previous dynasty, I don't know what is the style of He Shangshu?"
Shen Zhezi looked at the old man and asked with a smile, he didn't believe that people in the world could live for two Jiazi for a long time, and the longevity of the two great masters of the Heavenly Master Dao in the north and south of the Heavenly Master Dao in later generations was recorded, and even Ge Hong, the little immortal master, had not broken a hundred.
The old man was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then raised his old face to look at Shen Zhezi, his eyes seemed to flash with hope. During this time, he was captured here and tortured every day, which can be described as worse than death, and the new young man in front of him looked like a son of a family, and he was quite interested in him, so that he saw a glimmer of the possibility of survival.
Just when the old man was hollowing out his mind and wanted to organize a demagogic rhetoric, he was hit hard in the back, and then Liu Chang stepped forward and said with a smile: "Why should Lang Jun listen to this old man's nonsense, he has already explained it clearly, and now his life span is only more than fifty, and the white beard and hair are dyed with medicine, but a medicine farmer in the north, when he fled south, he heard some deeds of the previous dynasty with the old surname in the north, and crossed the river to deceive others. Many of the methods are so absurd that they are not recorded. ”
Shen Zhezi couldn't help but be happy when he heard this reason, he didn't expect that this old thing was still a talent, and he deceived everyone at the time just by hearsay. That's pretty big for that alone.
Just looking at the file, Shen Zhezi's face sank again, and he said in a condensed voice: "Since crossing the river, you have done a lot of things, all of which have been recorded for me, if there is a little omission, it will make your life worse than death!" ”
Killing the king, not to mention that it is just the old man's words, even if the evidence is conclusive, Shen Zhezi can't use it to overthrow Wang Shu. The stakes are too important to control, and the slightest carelessness may set off a protracted struggle in the court, and even develop into a war against each other. Therefore, if the official really reaches a certain level, even if he falls, the superficial charges often have nothing to do with the actual crimes.
But after learning about this incident, it is not all without gain, this incident cannot be used as a crime, and it can also become a huge loophole for Wang Shu, or it can induce him to continue to make mistakes. Even if this old man didn't know that Han Shisan was poisoning the emperor, but poisoning the king of the sect was also a big crime, and Wang Shu planned such a big event through him, and the contact between them could not be limited to this. Therefore, Shen Zhezi needs to know more about it in order to find more flaws.
He decided to kill Wang Shu, not so much to avenge the first emperor as to Liwei.
