Chapter 569: Bear's Paws Are Unripe
"Who's the killer?"
Sima You's handsome face distorted, great grief and bitter hatred snatched his soul, anger burned in his eyes, and it was conceivable that if he knew who had murdered Sima Zhao, he might have torn that person alive.
Liu Yin was still as calm as ever, and said: "The surroundings of the palace are heavily guarded, and outsiders have no possibility of approaching, the only people who may be poisoned are the people around King Jin, as long as the prince summons them over, he will know as soon as he asks." ”
Sima You restrained the urge to kill, and ordered the palace officials who had served Sima Zhao in the dormitory and the imperial doctors who had treated Sima Zhao to be summoned.
Because Sima Yan drove them away from the dormitory, and replaced the guards of the Shizi Mansion around the dormitory, so these palace people and the imperial physician did not know that Sima Zhao was dead, and today the killing sound inside and outside the Jin Palace, which frightened them early, heard the summons of the Marquis of Wuyang, and couldn't help but come tremblingly, as soon as they entered the dormitory, they found that Sima Zhao was already lying stiffly on the couch, and he was already dead, and he couldn't help but be distraught.
Sima You's eyes were like lightning, he glanced at these people one by one, and said in a deep voice: "How did King Jin die, you give me the truth one by one, if there is half a lie, don't blame Benhou for being ruthless!" ”
The palace people and the imperial physician were so frightened that they bowed to the ground and kowtowed, their faces were as pale as paper, Sima Zhao was dead, no less than the sky had fallen, whether they were responsible or not, they were all to blame.
"Marquis Wuyang forgives the sin, the villains really don't know that His Royal Highness the King of Jin has returned to heaven."
"Didn't you serve by your father's side, and you didn't even know that your father had died, so what use do you want?" Sima You was completely in a state of rage. Although Sima You has always left a good impression on these subordinates. Gentle. Approachable, but at this moment, Sima You is like an active volcano that can erupt at any time, furious and violent.
"Wuyang Marquis forgives the sin, after the arrival of the prince yesterday, he ordered the villains to withdraw from the dormitory, when the king of Jin was seriously ill, but he still had a breath. As for when King Jin died, the villains really don't know. "The palace doctors kowtowed again and again, begging for mercy.
Liu Yin asked in a deep voice: "Then after you left yesterday, who else was in the palace?" ”
"In addition to the prince, there are also Lord Jia and Master Pei of the Middle Protector Army."
Liu Yin said to Sima You: "It seems that the matter is already very clear, when the King of Jin died, only Sima Yan, Jia Chong, and Pei Xiu were present, and the death of the King of Jin must be inseparable from the three of them, as for these palace doctors." Even if they borrowed ten of their courage, they didn't dare to murder the king of Jin. Why should the prince be angry with them, just let them go. ”
Sima You nodded, he has a pure nature, naturally he is not the kind of person who kills innocents indiscriminately, since it has been confirmed that Sima Zhao's death has nothing to do with these palace people, Sima You has no intention of harming, waved his hand, and said, "You guys retreat." ”
As if they had been pardoned, the palace doctors thanked them again and again and retreated.
Sima You's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I have always respected him, and my father is also very kind to him, I didn't expect him to do such a rebellious thing, it is really intolerable!" ”
Liu Yin sighed softly and said: "Power makes people lose their hearts, and under the desire for profit, what else can't be done, it's hard to get acquainted with bear paws!" ”
The bear's paw is difficult to acknowledge is an allusion, and there are many people who kill their fathers and seize the throne in history, among which the originator is the king of Chumu and the merchants. Shang Chen was originally the crown prince of Chu State, behaved perversely, framed the minister, and was jealous of King Chu Cheng. Shangchen also learned the news, panicked, but he didn't know whether it was true or not, so the prince and the prince Pan Chong made a plan and asked Shangchen to invite Jiang Mi to a banquet, deliberately complimenting him and angering Jiang Mi. It is not true to say that women mislead the country, and Jiang Mi, who was angry, scolded angrily: "Unworthy son, speak wildly, no wonder the king wants to abolish you and establish a prince." ”
After Shang Chen learned the truth, he decided to strike first, led his troops to attack the palace, killed King Chu Cheng, Jiang Mi and Wang Zi, and established himself as the king of Chu. Among them, when killing King Chu Cheng, there was a period of rank matter, King Chu Cheng was fond of food, liked to eat bear paws, and before he died, he asked Shang Chen to let him eat bear paws and then die, Shang Chen was unmoved, Pan Chong said: "The bear paw is difficult to cook, is the king ready to delay time and wait for reinforcements?" The king can wait, we can't wait, the king please take care of yourself, don't ask for hardship. In the end, King Chu Cheng died by suicide and failed to eat the stewed bear paws, so the bear paws were difficult to cook, which was synonymous with killing his father and seizing the throne.
Sima You is familiar with the classics, and naturally knows this allusion, Sima Zhao's death is so similar to King Chu Cheng, for the throne, blood stained the palace, Sima Zhao will die in the hands of his own son Sima Yan.
But why Sima Zhao died has become a mystery, even if Sima Yan is brought in and interrogated carefully, he may not be able to know the details, and Sima Yan will definitely deny it, and he will never bear a charge of killing his father, Sima You, who is eager to know the truth, can't help but fall into contemplation.
Liu Yin offered a plan: "The prince doesn't have to rush to summon the prince to confront him, since there are Jia Chong and Pei Xiu in the palace, they must have insight into the truth, although Jia Pei and Pei are Sima Yan's sworn friends, but there are always flaws to follow, the prince might as well find a breakthrough from the two, and you can get a glimpse of the truth." ”
Sima You thought so and immediately ordered Jia Chong and Pei Xiu to be escorted. After conquering the Jin Palace, Jia Chong, Pei Xiu and a cadre of the Yan Party were reduced to prisoners.
"No!" Liu Yin stopped, "Jia Chong is treacherous and cunning, and he is the father-in-law of the prince, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get something valuable from him, so it is better to take Pei Xiu up first and judge the truth." ”
Sima You nodded, he really didn't want to see Jia Chong's face, no matter what, Jia Chong was also his elder, and if he couldn't be tried, he would have to be punished, Sima You was afraid that it would be really difficult to do it.
Soon, Pei Xiu was escorted to the dormitory.
As soon as Pei Xiu entered the dormitory, he immediately felt a cold and cold feeling, and he also knew Sima You's intention to escort him up, so he broke out in a cold sweat and entered the dormitory hard.
"Pei Xiu has seen Wuyang Hou." Pei Xiu's eyes didn't dare to look at Sima Zhao on the couch at all, but just saluted Sima You.
Sima You's eyes were shining, and his voice was extremely indifferent. "Pei Xiu, are you guilty?"
Pei Xiu's heart was shocked, he didn't dare to look at Sima You's eyes, and lowered his head and said: "Forgive me for being humble and stupid, I don't know what the crime is?" (To be continued.) )
