Zhao Ziliang watched the two accuse each other and splash dirty water, and there was a sneer in his heart, and he immediately shouted: "Lone will not wronged a loyal minister, but he will not let go of a traitor!" Come on, lock up the Zhu Zhu brothers and Huang Ziming first, and send someone to strictly guard them, what is the truth of the matter, just check it out! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liang Zhenwu clenched his fists and agreed, turned around and waved to the soldiers and ordered: "Go down and find two rooms to be strictly guarded, there must be no mistakes!" ”

Huang Ziming was stupid, he didn't expect Zhao Ziliang to lock him up, originally to publicize Zhu Jun's evil deeds and pull Zhu Jun's brothers off the horse, these two people are too good at drilling, so that he can not only get rid of the two scourges, but he can also be promoted and make a fortune, but he didn't expect that not only was not promoted to get rich, but he was in prison.

At this time, the sky outside was already white, and it was about to dawn, but fortunately, the crisis had been lifted and the matter had almost subsided, and Zhao Ziliang ordered the ministers to go to rest first and wait for the summons.

killed two concubines with one stab, and Zhao Ziliang couldn't put it down for the time being, even if his heart was hard, and he couldn't sleep. The bodies of the two have been carried to the room by the palace maids, and after some tidying up and makeup, they have all changed into new clothes, and Zhao Ziliang is guarding the corpse and no one is allowed to disturb it.

I don't know how long it took, Li Muchen walked in and said softly: "Your Majesty, the two princesses have passed away, and no matter how sad Your Majesty is, it will be useless!" Please also ask Your Majesty to mourn, the most important thing now is to arrange the funeral for the two princesses, whether to transport the two princesses back to Xinjing for burial or continue to take them to Chang'an for burial, and please show your Majesty! ”

Zhao Ziliang listened to this and barely cheered up to think about this matter, he went to Chang'an this time to inspect military and political affairs, deal with problems if there is a problem, and go to various places to inspect if there is no problem, but how can the huge Tang Dynasty not have a problem? Therefore, the purpose of his visit this time is to continue to guide the development of the Tang Dynasty, and to beat and beat some disobedient small vassal states to make them more honest.

Therefore, he will not return easily when he comes out of Xinjing this time, if the bodies of the two deceased princesses are sent back to Xinjing alone, and he does not go back together, what is it? In addition, after all, the two princesses are women in the world of motherhood, so naturally they can't be buried casually on the spot, so they can only go to Chang'an with their bodies, and then find a treasure of feng shui to be buried on an auspicious day.

Zhao Ziliang said: "Take it to Chang'an, and find someone to find a piece of feng shui treasure near the imperial tomb of the Li Tang royal family to bury!" ”

"Yes! Now that the weather is starting to get hot, in order to better preserve the remains of the two princesses, Wechen has ordered someone to vacate all the ice cubes for storing food, but a good coffin is difficult to find, and this is a wilderness, if you use ordinary coffins, you can't show the noble status of the two princesses······"

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "Then send someone to Jinchang County to find it!" In addition, the will of the orphan was passed on, and two thousand cavalry from the garrison army were dispatched to Jinchang County Day and Night to control the inside and outside of the county capital, and no one was allowed to escape! The preservation of the corpse can not last long with only ice cubes, and the ice cubes will melt quickly when exposed to high temperatures, and the materials used to make ice cubes will not take long, so it is best to think of other methods! ”

Li Muchen arched his hand and said, "Yes!" Regarding the method of preserving the bodies of the two princesses, Wei Chen doesn't know much, the imperial doctor is proficient in the principles of medicine, and he should know some methods, why don't you call Imperial Doctor Liang over and ask? ”

"Go ahead!"

"Yes"

There are several methods of Imperial Physician Liang, one is one of the oldest methods, which is to replace the blood in the corpse, inject mercury into the blood vessels, discharge the blood, and then pour mercury into the chest and abdominal cavity in the body, mercury can kill viruses and prevent embalming, and finally put the corpse in the coffin poured into the mercury to soak and seal, but this requires a large amount of mercury, and I am afraid that I will not find so much mercury in a short time.

"The second way, Weichen heard that after the death of the Buddhist monk, there are relics left in the world, and the relics of the monks have incredible power, and a relic can be put into any one of the seven orifices of the bodies of the two princesses to keep the corpses from decaying for thousands of years! Or maybe there are some treasures that can keep the body intact, but now I am afraid that His Majesty does not carry it with him."

Where can I get the relics of the monks in this wilderness? Even if an order was given to send people to Tibet to collect relics in an expedited manner of 800 li, it would not be possible to obtain them in a short period of time.

Zhao Ziliang asked, "Is there any other way?" ”

Imperial Physician Liang said: "Weichen heard that His Majesty brought some raw materials for ice making, I don't know how many are left?" If the amount is sufficient, in fact, there is no need to make ice to cool down and preserve the corpse, you can directly freeze the corpse in ice, which is better than the effect of cooling with ice, and it can also keep the bodies of the two mothers alive forever, you only need to add water to the ice surface regularly and then cool and freeze, maintain the thickness and temperature of the ice surface, and do not let the ice melt, and the used raw materials can be used continuously!"

Zhao Ziliang was stunned for a moment, and secretly scolded himself for forgetting this stubble? Immediately instructed Li Muchen: "Just use this method!" ”

"Yes!"

The deaths of Xinping and Wang Zhiyun hit Zhao Ziliang very hard, staying in the time that the post station had been waiting for the coffin to be transported from Jinchang County, he basically didn't care much anymore, and the whole person's spirit was not in a state, and he was often in a trance.

On March 26, Zhao Ziliang's royal car had stayed in Wufeng Station for ten days, and two good Nanmu coffins had been transported from Jinchang City, and the bodies of Xinping and Wang Zhiyun had been packed into the coffins.

Li Muchen came to report to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, all the matters here have been dealt with, and all the units of the Hexi Provincial Garrison have been ordered to return to the garrison one after another, and the imperial driver can leave for Chang'an tomorrow!" Please also ask Your Majesty to mourn, the deceased is gone, presumably the two mothers will be very sad to see Your Majesty so sad, and they will also be very sad in the spirit of heaven. In addition, Weichen has sent people to Chang'an, and the matter of finding a mausoleum for the two mothers over there will start soon! ”

Zhao Ziliang finally had a hint of reaction, his eyes reluctantly left from the two coffins, and when he turned around, there was a trace of agility in his eyes, and the whole person began to gradually return to normal, Li Muchen finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

"Li Muchen, Lone has already thought about it, the fourth and fifth children will not go to Chang'an for the time being, they are the princesses of my Western Qin Kingdom, and they must be buried in the royal tombs of the Western Qin Kingdom, leave them in the post station temporarily, place them in the basement, and regularly cool down and freeze! In addition, quickly sent people back to Xinjing, transported two crystal coffins, and replaced the Nanmu coffin with a crystal coffin! ”

Li Muchen immediately agreed: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

In ancient times, there were many ways to embalm corpses, but it was difficult to keep corpses as they were before death, and the use of ice can completely stop the decay of corpses and make the cells completely stop moving, so as to maintain the freshness of corpses. Ordinary people do not have such financial resources and ability, but the royal family with supreme royal power can do it, as long as the dynasty is not extinguished, the ice of the corpse can be carried out forever, or the corpse can be transported to the top of the snowy region, so that nature can freeze the corpse forever, the royal family also has such conditions, and even can build a mausoleum on the snow peak.

At night, the hall of the post station was brightly lit, and Zhao Ziliang leaned back in his chair to listen to Xuan Shiba's report on the progress of the investigation of the assassination case.

"Your Majesty, after our days of investigation, the clues obtained are really limited, and the progress is not great, Wang Jiahe and Jia Rong and others have never cooperated with the investigation, they insisted that the assassination was their mastermind, Jia Rong admitted that all the actions were planned by him, Wang Jiahe was responsible for execution, their subordinates were responsible for cooperating, Weichen has investigated and interrogated their henchmen, these people know extremely limited, they are just people who do things, they don't know anything about the real mastermind behind the scenes, when asked, They were even surprised and surprised, obviously they didn't expect that there were people behind Wang Jiahe and Jia Rong! ”

"The subordinates sent by the minister to Jinchang County have sent back the news, after investigation, Jinchang County Shou Guo Shouyi has a major suspicion, Guo Shouyi refused to confess during the interrogation, and the official in charge of the investigation is currently thinking of other ways, hoping to make a breakthrough! Weichen has sent someone to Chang'an quickly, asking the six doors of the Criminal Department to immediately investigate and prepare all the circumstances of the Qianji Building, and the West Factory will also make every effort to investigate, vowing to investigate the bottom of the Qianji Building in detail, and avenge the two mothers! ”

"These Tianchen and his subordinates conducted a detailed investigation and inquiry of the shopkeeper, the men and the business travelers staying in the inn next to them, and did not find anything abnormal, but ······"

Zhao Ziliang frowned and said: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't babble, even if you doubt it and there is no evidence, you can't say it, sometimes intuition is quite accurate!" ”

"Yes!" Xuan 18 agreed, "There is nothing wrong with the others, at least judging from the investigation of the ministers, except for Li Yu, the king of Chen, it is not that he has anything to doubt, it's just ······ He traveled as a vassal king with only one eunuch and two retinues, and according to what he said, he was going to Xinjing, and the distance from Chang'an to Xinjing was so far, although there were many post stations along the way, but it was not absolutely safe, and he only brought three powerless people with him to go to such a far place, which was a bit unreasonable, but he had nothing else to doubt! ”

Zhao Ziliang was silent for a while after listening to his report, "Continue to investigate!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Ziliang said to the ministers: "The matter here is almost over, Zhu Qing is ready, and he will set off for Chang'an tomorrow, but Gu decided not to bring the remains of the two concubines with him for the time being, and left them here and placed them in the basement, leaving some eunuchs and palace maids to take care of them here, and do a good job in the maintenance of the ice, so that there can be no accidents!" Where is Du Zongwu? ”

Du Zongwu walked out nervously and hugged his fists and said, "The minister is here!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said coldly: "The death of Lone's two concubines, you, the general in charge of security and escort affairs, have an unshirkable responsibility, and you will be punished if you make a mistake, you say, how will Lone deal with you?" ”

Du Zongwu was sweating profusely, but he also knew that he couldn't shirk his responsibility no matter what, and he couldn't shirk it, in that case, what else could he say? He immediately knelt down and prostrated on the ground, "Your Majesty, the minister knows that he has committed a capital crime, please give the minister a death and a martyr's funeral for the two mothers!" ”

"Humph!" Zhao Ziliang sneered, "Want to die? Which is so easy? From now on, you will be ordered to guard the mausoleum for the two concubines, and from you below, the descendants of all generations will have the position of hereditary guardian of the mausoleum, unless the Western Qin Kingdom is destroyed! If the mausoleum is stolen or damaged, you will be punished! ”

"Minister······ Obey! ”

The ministers were silent, they didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing for Du Zongwu.
