Chapter 512: Old Case
"As soon as the emperor saw these five mothers, he was shocked. Originally, she said that she was a show girl, but she was named a mother. "Zhu Liuye is really a storytelling material, even if he retires from Jinyiwei, he can achieve reemployment in the teahouse. But when he said this, his face became solemn and said: "The most outstanding and the most favored one among them is the virtuous concubine Quan Niangniang!" ”
"Oh." Wang Xian snorted lightly, he had obviously heard of this mother. That is Queen Xu, the emperor's favorite concubine, even the people in the countryside are unaware of it. Legend has it that when Zhu Di first saw her, he was attracted by her surprisingly beautiful and elegant. The emperor asked her what she was good at, she took out the jade flute she carried with her and played it, the sound of the flute was melodious and misty, and the emperor was fascinated by it, so he selected the concubine above the concubines, and soon named him a concubine, and ordered him to take charge of the harem.
No one doubts that if this concubine Quan Niangniang is a Han Chinese, she may be made the queen directly...... But she is also the queen, and she is just a golden book, since she entered the palace, it is really 3,000 harem beauties, 3,000 favors. Whenever the emperor finished his work and walked into the palace of the concubine with his tired body, her beautiful flute sound would always be like a spring breeze, blowing the emperor's fatigue without a trace. Zhu Di loved this supple, gentle, and wonderful Korean concubine so much that he even took her with him when he went to Mongolia.
However, in the eighth year of Yongle, the emperor made a northern expedition to Arutai, and returned to Beijing in triumph, and when he walked to Lincheng, Shandong, Concubine Quan suddenly fell seriously ill and died soon after at the age of 22......
"The emperor was in pain at that time, and he didn't slow down for many months, and when he saw Concubine Quan's family later, he was so sad that he burst into tears and couldn't speak for a while." Zhu Liuye said with a sad face: "Alas, the emperor is the most affectionate and sexual person, but God has let him lose his lover repeatedly, it's really cruel......"
Wang Xian couldn't imagine that under Zhu Liuye's rough face, he still had a slender and sensitive heart, but he really couldn't listen to it anymore, and couldn't help asking: "It's been more than four years since Concubine Quan died of illness, what does it have to do with today's fire?" ”
"Listen to me go on, it's about to get to the point. Young people need to be more patient. Zhu Liuye glanced at him dissatisfiedly and said, "Don't worry, you can't delay the business." ”
"That's what you said." Wang Xian hurriedly grabbed the words.
"Uh......" Zhu Liuye was a little dumbfounded, but in order to satisfy the **** storyteller, he couldn't take care of it so much, and continued: "At that time, everyone thought that Concubine Quan Niangniang was sick and died, so the emperor executed all the imperial doctors accompanying him, and it is said that this matter should be over." But three years later, a quarrel between the palace maids made the emperor angry and ordered a re-investigation of the cause of the death of the concubine! ”
"What quarrel?" Wang Xian has no way of knowing these things, and it seems that they should be investigated and handled secretly. However, the palace is forbidden to secret, he was in Zhejiang at the time, and it is normal that he has not heard of it.
"The two sides of the quarrel, one is the palace maid of the powerful concubine before her death, and the other is Lu Jieyu's palace maid. That Lu Jieyu is also one of the five Korean concubines, although she is also like a fairy, but she is not as favored as the powerful concubine. The content of the quarrel was that Lu Jieyu's palace maid scolded Concubine Quan's palace maid and her master that she should be poisoned by arsenic. Zhu Liuye said slowly: "The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional, but a Lu Meiren with the same surname Lu heard it and told the emperor the secret." ”
The emperor's reaction can be imagined, and he immediately ordered the governor of Ji to strictly investigate the case. At that time, Ji Dudu was jealous because of the competition with the Marquis of Yangwu, and he was impulsive, and he opened a scoop for him in the interior. Yangwu Marquis is a very favorite general of the emperor, although he did not punish Ji Dudu, but he was already dissatisfied with his arrogance. Zhu Liu continued: "Ji Dudu is also aware of this, and he is worried about how to make a great contribution and win the favor again." Now it's natural to work hard. ”
"Ji Du received the holy order, and arrested all the people in the Shuyu Palace, from Lu Jieyu to the eunuch palace maids, and interrogated them strictly, and soon found out the results. It turned out that Lu Jieyu and the powerful concubine entered the palace for a while, but the powerful concubine was favored by the pepper room, and was still in charge of the harem, becoming the actual queen. This made Lu Jieyu, who was jealous by nature, very dissatisfied, she thought that her appearance was no worse than that of Concubine Quan, but she just couldn't give a, and the situation of the two of them was heaven and earth. Lu Jieyu was very dissatisfied with this, and once insulted Concubine Quan to her face, saying, "The queen who has children and grandchildren is also dead." You've been in charge for months, so rude! Later, he colluded with the eunuchs in the palace to borrow arsenic from a silversmith's house, grind it into powder, put it in walnut tea and give it to Concubine Quan, who died. ”
"The result?" Wang Xian couldn't help but feel creepy, he could guess how the emperor who killed people when he was angry would pour out his anger.
"The result ......" Zhu Liu sighed and said: "The emperor was furious and executed hundreds of people in Shuyu Palace, as well as the silversmith. That Lu Jieyu was the worst sentence, and the emperor ordered someone to burn her with a soldering iron for a month before killing her. The emperor was particularly angry, and also ordered the king of North Korea to execute all Lu Jieyu's family members in North Korea. ”
"......" Wang Xian was speechless when he heard it, in his own life, he was also a happy and vengeful character, but he never had the idea of harming his family. This Zhu Di is engaged in strains at every turn, which is really outrageous. It took him a moment before he asked, "When did this happen?" ”
"The fall of the year before last." Zhu Liuye said.
"What does that have to do with yesterday's case?" Wang Xian couldn't wait to strangle this storyteller.
"Originally, everyone thought that the matter was over," Zhu Liuye said in a low voice: "But the North Korean envoy came to Beijing to celebrate the New Year a year ago, and there was a situation again. The Jinyi Wei secret agent discovered that someone in the mission was secretly investigating the case. After a pause, he said off-topic: "Brother will be very careful in what he says and acts in the future, Jinyiwei's secret agents are pervasive, I don't know when Lu Dao will be betrayed by anyone, maybe it's your most trusted subordinate, maybe it's the woman you share the bed with......" Wang Xian said creepy, and said with a dry laugh: "Get to the point." ”
"It is said that this is also normal, the poisoning between the concubines of the Korean state has a great impact on the country, and it is understandable that the king of the Joseon wants to find out the truth." Zhu Liudao: "But Governor Ji is very concerned and personally supervises this matter. ”
"Oh?" Wang Xian couldn't help laughing and said, "Such a small thing can also alarm Ji Dudu? ”
"Hey, hey." Zhu Liuye smiled proudly: "I didn't tell you that at the beginning, Lu Jieyu and the others couldn't survive the punishment and were beaten into tricks. Said with a sneer: "At that time, Lu Jieyu resolutely refused to admit that she was poisoned, and the palace maid also resolutely refused to admit it, she said something like that, she said that she was just a palace maid who scolded Concubine Quan, and she should die like her master, but she didn't say that Concubine Quan was poisoned." However, you will understand the torture of Jinyiwei in the future, and you can't stand it even if you are an iron man, let alone a few weak women...... The case was full of flaws, but unfortunately the emperor was angry, so he didn't think about it at all, so he killed the person. ”
"Oh......" Wang Xian said excitedly: "If the emperor comes to his senses, won't Ji Dudu be unlucky?" ”
"Bad luck is certain, I don't know how bad luck it is." Zhu Liuye obviously hated Ji Gang a lot, and gloated: "So he is very afraid that someone will investigate this case again, but the other party has the identity of an envoy, and he can't act rashly, so he can only monitor it strictly." Said with a smile: "Later, he found out that those people actually came out to watch the lanterns on the Yuan Festival, so he wanted to take the opportunity to take people, who knew that his group of disciples and grandchildren couldn't even do this little thing." When he took people, he was detonated by others, and the scene was chaotic, but he still took the opportunity to escape......"
"I see." Although Zhu Liuye said a lot of things, he finally let Wang Xian clearly understand the cause of last night's fire. And miscellaneous things also have the advantage of knowing even the deepest things. Zhu Liuye's help is indeed enough......
"That's all I know." Zhu Liuye said modestly: "I hope it can help my brother." ”
"It's really a lot of help." Wang Xian didn't want him to settle it out so quickly, so he said quietly: "What should I do with this case, please teach me the sixth master?" ”
"Find someone." Zhu Liuye said as a matter of course: "Those North Koreans did not die in the fire, and it is impossible for them to leave the capital, and if you find them, you will solve the case." ”
"I also know that I want to find someone......," Wang Xian said helplessly: "But in the capital, there are millions of people, how can I find those guys before Jinyiwei?" ”
"Don't be afraid of those idiots, they are sparse except for fighting in the nest." Zhu Liuye said slowly: "I can't help you, the Jinyi Wei secret agent has been in the hands of Ji Dudu from beginning to end, and none of us can touch it." After a pause, he said, "However, I have an idea, and I don't know if it's right." ”
"Please!" Wang Xian is used to this Zhu Liuye who will die if he doesn't sell Guanzi.
"I think the people from the North Korean mission must know, because it was under their protection that those guys came into the capital." Zhu Liuye said in a deep voice: "And I guess that those guys should be inseparable from the tragic death of Lu Jieyu, and it is very likely that they will be surnamed Lu." Otherwise, who would be so crazy? Last night's fire was revenge! ”
"Didn't you say that the Lu family had all been killed?" Wang Xian asked in surprise.
"That's what the North Koreans say, but there's no evidence!" After saying so many words, Zhu Liuye's mouth was dry, and he picked up the teapot and drank it: "And judging from their performance in the original beauty pageant, these guys can be blinded, but they can't be blinded before they come to the real thing." Saying that, he looked at Wang Xiandao: "What should I do if I know Lu Dao?" ”
"Hmm." Wang Xian nodded, if he didn't understand it again, it would really be an elm head.
"But I still have to remind my brother again," Zhu Liuye said with a straight face: "Walking in the rivers and lakes, safety first, don't touch things that shouldn't be checked, beware of broken bones." ”
"Be taught." Wang Xian is also right.
