Chapter 1426: King Jing is dead

Now the entire Ming Dynasty regards King Yu as the prince, but the prince was almost killed in the capital, and your cabinet is eating for nothing?

In fact, whether it is Emperor Jiajing or the cabinet, they all know very well in their hearts that there is only one person who has the motive to assassinate King Yu now, and that is King Jing.

No one else will do this!

The Japanese are gone, Zhang Daoyuan is also dead, the northern grassland strategy has moved to the Western Regions, and now it is friendly with the Ming Dynasty, Goryeo has been crippled, and it has been blocked by the border pass. If there is another force that has the ability to assassinate, it is the White Lotus Sect.

However, if it was the dead soldiers of the White Lotus Sect, they should have assassinated Luo Xin, not King Yu, right?

Only King Jing, as long as he kills King Yu, the throne of the Ming Emperor will fall under his ass.

However, there is no evidence.

In the absence of evidence, who would dare to move the king?

Even Emperor Jiajing couldn't kill King Jing casually, and this was a royal scandal.

If there is no evidence, then look for evidence.

It also prevented King Jing from jumping over the wall in a hurry, sending someone to assassinate King Yu again, or taking risks and rebelling.

Therefore, under the orders of Emperor Jiajing, a large number of Dongchang and Jinyi guards went to King Jing's fiefdom to monitor King Jing. And it was still open surveillance, so it almost surrounded King Jing's Mansion.

The cabinet also issued an order, and the local government and military have taken targeted surveillance of Jingwangfu. This simply gives people a sign that they are going to do something to King Jing.

A month has passed like this, and Xu Jie, the first assistant of the cabinet in the capital, is approving the concerta, but his hand is shaking, and his eyes are staring at the recital in his hand.

Seeing Xu Jie's strange appearance, Zhang Juzheng, who was helping, couldn't help but ask softly:

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

Xu Jie calmed down, closed the concerto, and looked up at Zhang Juzhengdao:

"His Royal Highness King Jing is here!"

The look on Zhang Juzheng's face changed, King Jing was just in his early thirties, and he died like this?

"Please come, Lord Gao!" Xu Jie said softly.

"Yes!"

Zhang Juzheng woke up from the shock, walked out quickly, and soon, Gao Gong pushed the door and walked in, Xu Jie handed the book to Gao Gong, Gao Gong took it, read it in a hurry, and was overjoyed. As long as King Jing died, King Yu's position as the prince was stable, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Is this true?"

Xu Jie glanced at Gao Gong and said, "Who dares to joke about this kind of thing?" ”

"Oh!" Gao Gong's face is red, and he is in the picture, it seems that this qi cultivation kung fu is still not at home!

Xu Jie stood up and said, "Let's go and report to the saint." ”

Gao Gong nodded, and walked towards Yuxi Palace with Xu Jie.

Yuxi Palace.

Emperor Jiajing's body had not yet recovered, and it was difficult to even sit, so he lay down in the palace. Xu Jie and Gao Gong came to Yuxi Palace, and Huang Jin greeted him and said:

"It's unfortunate that the two adults came, Your Majesty just fell asleep."

Xu Jie pondered for a moment, and handed the piece in his hand to Huang Jindao: "Huang Gonggong take a look." ”

Huang Jin opened the chapter, just glanced at it, his face changed, and hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, two adults, I will go to report to Your Majesty." ”

Xu Jie and Gao Gong stood outside silently, neither of them wanted to speak at this time, but their hearts were fluctuating. As soon as King Jing died, King Yu's position was stable, so the real struggle began, and before King Yu ascended the throne, gaining the trust of King Yu was the top priority.

The two people silently looked at each other's hearts, comparing each other's strength, what plan should they implement, time passed unconsciously, and a sound of footsteps came, and they saw Huang Jin hurriedly walking out and saying:

"Your Majesty, please come in."

Xu Jie glanced at Huang Jin and said in a low voice, "How is Your Majesty's mood?" ”

"Your Majesty...... Didn't say anything, the face was ugly. Huang Jin said softly.

Xu Jie nodded, took the lead, and Gao Gong followed. The three of them walked all the way to the dormitory, entered the dormitory, the eyes of the two people quickly swept over Jiajing who was lying on the bed, and sure enough, when they saw Jiajing's gloomy face, they immediately bowed down and said:

"Your Majesty's condolences, take care of the dragon's body!"

After the two men finished shouting, they knelt there and waited. But there was silence in the dormitory. The two of them waited for a while, and secretly raised their heads to look at Emperor Jiajing on the bed, but saw Emperor Jiajing looking at the two of them calmly, the two of them hurriedly lowered their eyes, their hearts pounded, Emperor Jiajing was still cold, and he couldn't hear any emotion's voice:

"Give the two elders a seat."

Huang Jin asked the two little eunuchs to bring two brocade stools to Xu Jie and Gao Gong, and the two little eunuchs put down the brocade stools, lowered their heads, and quietly retreated. After Xu Jie and Gao Gong thanked each other, they carefully sat on the brocade stool, and the two of them quietly glanced at each other, and Xu Jie, as the first assistant of the cabinet, took the lead in speaking:

"Your Majesty, the old minister was shocked to hear the bad news of His Royal Highness King Jing, and he was overwhelmed with grief, His Royal Highness King Jing died young, which is a loss for the Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Jiajing looked at Xu Jie calmly, and then looked at Gao Gong, who hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty's condolences!"

Gao Gong only said this, with his character, he really can't say that King Jing himself is sad like Xu Jie, and King Jing's death is a loss for the Ming Dynasty. In his opinion, King Jing should have died a long time ago, and his death was a blessing for the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Jiajing looked at Gao Gong calmly for a while, Gao Gong was wondering if he should praise King Jing a little more, like Xu Jie, is Emperor Jiajing angry? After all, King Jing is the son of Emperor Jiajing, and now that someone's son is dead, he said that he should not be a courtier. And at this time, Emperor Jiajing said lightly:

"Death is death, and there is nothing to mourn."

Xu Jie and Gao Gong couldn't understand what Emperor Jiajing meant for a while, Xu Jie pondered for a while and said:

"Your Majesty, King Jing is known as a virtuous person, and he is filial to His Majesty......"

Emperor Jiajing drooped his eyelids and said, "Are you blind, or are you trying to fool me?" ”

"This ......" Xu Jie's expression was stunned, he really couldn't understand Emperor Jiajing's mind at this time.

Emperor Jiajing's gaze swept over Xu Jie and Gao Gong and said: "You two don't have to pretend, don't you two know that the person who assassinated Luo Xin in the first place was King Jing?" The person who assassinated King Yu's son was King Jing at the beginning, and now the person who assassinated King Yu is King Jing? ”

Xu Jie and Gao Gong were shocked in their hearts, although there was no evidence of these things, but Xu Jie and Gao Gong also believed that King Jing had done it. And when King Jing sent someone to assassinate Luo Xin, he heard King Jing admit it with his own ears. However, it is one thing to know, and quite another to say it. Now that Emperor Jiajing said this royal secret to his face, what did he mean?

The two of them couldn't help but feel uneasy in their hearts.
