Chapter 393 The Secret of Regicide
Although Song Yi didn't describe much about himself, Shen Zhezi could also imagine that a bright master who wanted to rejuvenate was framed in this way for a while, and then trapped in the garden. Not only his physical condition was worrying, but his spirit was also extremely bad.Without the meticulous care of Song Ji, she might not have been able to survive such a long time until the princess got married before passing away.

No matter how ambitious a person is in his life, what he thinks of when he is dying is only blood and family.Even Shi Le, the kind of murderous man, hoped that Shi Hu, the jackal, would help his children and grandchildren wholeheartedly before he died, but unfortunately, his children and grandchildren followed him one after another.

For the late emperor, Shen Zhezi did have deep feelings, and he was very honored to be able to choose Tuogu in his eyes.Without this appreciation, it would be difficult for me to achieve today's achievements in this world.From this point of view, he not only had to be grateful to the late emperor, but also to Song Ji for taking care of the late emperor. If the late emperor passed away prematurely, he might not be able to hold hands with the princess.

In fact, from Shen Zhezi's heart, it was considered lucky that the late emperor had such a gentle and considerate woman as Song Yi to accompany him on his deathbed.Although the meeting was short, Shen Zhezi could feel that Song Yi had a calm and serene temperament, which could calm too many distracting thoughts in people's hearts.

This woman can indeed be called a beautiful woman, but she is not so beautiful that she can make people feel amazing at first glance.Although there is age, but in terms of appearance alone, she is no more beautiful than her little maid, Guaer, and even slightly inferior to the empress dowager.But it is precisely because of the charm accumulated over the years, which is accumulated in his heart and then emitted, that he becomes a unique scenery in the world.

In comparison, my authentic mother-in-law is beautiful, but she lacks a soul.If it's just ignorance, it's fine, his personality is somewhat similar to Yu Liang's, both are a bit willful, extreme and unrestrained.Such a character may be called a personality in later generations, but it is not a good thing around the emperor.In addition, Yu Liang did have the matter of imprisoning the late emperor at that time, so the alienation and disgust of the late emperor towards the empress dowager in the last days is understandable.

Of course, these thoughts are disrespectful to the elders, and now the empress dowager treats him with kindness and trust, but to be honest, if he really wants to live at home, Shen Zhezi is willing to choose a woman with Song Ji's temperament.

Fortunately, the princess entered his family early, otherwise she would grow up under the influence of the empress dowager, and in the future she would definitely have that weird personality that is difficult to get close to, and it would be impossible for her to be as docile and pleasant as she is now.Of course, the tenderness at the moment is only for his own family, and there is still no shortage of fierceness and strength for the outside world.

Listening to the process of the father's illness from illness to death again, the princess couldn't cry again. Seeing this, Shen Zhezi asked someone to help the princess down.He didn't want to bother Song Yi for a long time, so he got up and said: "Thank you, Mrs. Song, for telling me about the secret, please stay here for the time being, Mrs. Song. If there is a place you like in the future, just speak out, and I will definitely give it to you."

"The concubine is so dusty, how dare you expect too much, it is a great fortune to have a safe place to live."

Song Yi got up to see her off, and she also knew that Shen Zhezi was only being polite when she said this. After she told the princess this secret, she knew that she would never be free for the rest of her life. It is unknown whether it will be good or be killed.Now that Shen Zhezi didn't show any killing intent towards her, she was relieved.

Hearing this cautious answer, Shen Zhezi sighed in his heart, this woman is also considered poor, maybe she can save her life because of her beauty, but she is tossing and turning for a plaything and cannot be stable all her life.But in today's world, there are many poor people, and there is no need to pity only one person.

This Song Yi was considered to have helped her. After pondering for a while, Shen Zhezi comforted her again: "Ms. Song was forbidden to enter and leave the garden in the early years. She has acquainted many people. It is really inconvenient to send it out now. If Mrs. Song has nothing to worry about here, I will I would like to send my wife to live in a good place in my Wuxing Township, but I wonder if my wife would like to?"

Hearing Shen Zhezi's specific arrangement for her, Song Yi knew that her life was completely out of danger. As for where would she like to go?She tossed and turned for half her life, and all she saw were tall walls and vast buildings, and she didn't know where to go?
After walking out of the small building where Song Yi lived, Shen Zhezi felt a little ups and downs.Song Yi made it very clear that the first emperor took the cold food powder sent by King Nandun, and gradually accumulated poison and ruined his body.When she left Yuancheng, she brought some Sanxun people's appraisals that the late emperor had accepted, and there were indeed some elements that should not be there.So the first emperor was poisoned chronically, and eventually died.

In fact, there are many speculations about the untimely death of the first emperor, but Song Ji is the most suspected one.Some people said that Song Ji was an undercover agent sent to the garden by Wang Dun, with the aim of making the late emperor addicted to female sex, and eventually indulged in sex and died.In fact, this kind of unofficial history records, which loves fragrance, is no different from the experience of peasant women in the field guessing that there is a jar of brown sugar on the bedside of the queen in the palace to eat sugar day and night.

It is true that food and sex are also sexual, but the actions of the first emperor for several years after he ascended the throne are indeed a promising master.Of course, there is no conflict between lust and action, but even if the Wang Dun Rebellion was quelled, Haiyan and Heqing could not be said at that time.The arrangement of the current situation after the destruction of Wang Dun showed the late emperor's political wisdom.It is hard to imagine that such an emperor would indulge in lust and die under the circumstances of internal and external troubles.

The matter has come to this point, in fact, it has nothing to do with the Langya Wang family.Even if it was poisoning, it was also done by King Nanton.The princess persevered in her pursuit, and finally made a new discovery.But even if Shen Zhezi didn't investigate, he felt that it was impossible for King Nandun to do it alone.

In the situation at that time, King Nanton really had no motive to poison the late emperor, and it was impossible for him to usurp the throne, and the late emperor generally took good care of their clans.So there must be something else going on in this matter. Either King Nanton conspired with others, or he was also used as a gunman.

As a result of the princess's investigation, another big fish was caught.

Shen Zhezi walked around the manor for a while, and was led to a dungeon by Liu Chang soon after.The dungeon was dimly lit and the atmosphere was turbid. Shen Zhezi didn't go down, but asked someone to lift the detainees out, while he walked to a bamboo pavilion under the rockery.

As soon as he sat down, he heard the old man's mournful howling from the dungeon: "Young people should die, Xiaomin should die... The one who should be recruited has already been recruited, I just want to die quickly..."

Two strong servants carried an old crooked body under their ribs and walked to the outside of the bamboo pavilion. Before they got close, there was an unbearable stench.Shen Zhezi waved his hand and asked someone to throw it outside the bamboo pavilion, and then looked carefully, and saw that the figure on the ground was an old man, with gray beard and messy hair covering his face, and there were marks of whipping all over his body, some of which had already knotted Some of the scabs were still oozing blood, which looked horrible.

Shen Zhezi would not be sympathetic because of people's age. Some people are older but their virtues are worse, and they are still old.The old man groaned incessantly, and Shen Zhezi was not in a hurry to interrogate him, but just looked at the things Liu Chang handed over from the old man.

The old man's name is Yan Mu, and he is also from Nandu. He lived in Zhongshan earlier, and fled to Jingkou because Liyang broke the city.The old man himself is not from an old surname, nor is he a nobleman, but he is well-known and has an extremely exquisite skill in making powder. Nowadays, he is no different from a superstar in the sky. He is sought after wherever he goes, so although Fleeing to Jingkou, it is also very popular.

The cold food powder that King Nandun offered to the garden came from this person.After the princess knew that there was something wrong with the powder served by the late emperor, she searched along this line, and soon found Yan Mu who was revered in a Taoist altar in Jingkou.Then Liu Chang arranged for people to raid the Taoist altar at night to capture him. After some interrogation, the result was shocking.

Nowadays, there are quite a lot of people in the dignitaries who are obedient, and this old man has this skill, so he is naturally very popular.King Nandun wanted to enter the offering garden to invite his favor, so he naturally found the old man.King Zong had a request and promised a lot of money. The old man did not dare to be sloppy, and devoted himself to disbanding for King Nandun.There were no surprises at first, but not long after, another person approached the old man, coercing and luring the old man to add some ingredients to the powder that King Nanton asked for.

And that person is Wang Shu!

At this point, things can be said to have a result.Did Wang Shu have the motive to kill the king?Of course there is!He did not hesitate to betray his clan and betray Wang Dun in order to survive, but he was ruthlessly deprived of his position as governor of Jingzhou afterwards and left idle!Does Wang Shu have the guts to kill the king?Among the Wang family's Nandu brothers, he is the most decisive and the most ruthless!

As for whether King Nanton colluded with Wang Shu, or whether Yu Liang, Wang Dao and others knew about it, it is not important now.

The result was unexpected, but it made sense after careful consideration.Being too good is a sin, especially in Jiangdong nowadays, the last thing he needs is a talented king!

In fact, before coming here, Shen Zhezi had already learned everything from the princess.Right now, inquire again personally, in addition to confirming again, I am also quite curious about this old man named Yan Mu.

After learning the name from the princess, he felt vaguely familiar, and it took him a long time to recall that the first time he heard the old man's name was from Yu Tiao's mouth.At that time, he entered the capital to prepare for the emperor's son-in-law, and Yu Tiao still had great ambitions for the great cause of dismantling, but later he was busy with many things, and gradually put this matter behind him.

This old man was really unlucky, and unexpectedly he went around and fell into his hands again.

"Head up."

Shen Zhezi put down the file and pointed to the old man outside the bamboo pavilion.The old man was still groaning and groaning, but he didn't hear Shen Zhezi's words. After being kicked by someone, he struggled to kneel up and kowtowed: "Xiaomin is guilty, Xiaomin is guilty..."

"It is certain that you are guilty, but I heard that you had a discussion with He Shangshu in the previous dynasty. I don't know what the style of He Shangshu is?"

Shen Zhezi looked at the old man and asked with a smile, does he believe that people nowadays can live for two years? The lifespan has not broken a hundred.

The old man was slightly taken aback when he heard this, then raised his old face and looked at Shen Zhezi, his eyes seemed to be shining with hope.During this period of time, he was captured and tortured here every day. It can be said that life would be worse than death. The young man who appeared in front of him seemed to be from a family, and he was very interested in him, which made him see a trace of life. possible.

Just when the old man was racking his brains to organize deceptive speeches, he received a heavy kick in the back. Immediately, Liu Chang stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mr. More than ten, the gray beard and hair are all dyed with medicine, but it's just a family of medicine farmers in the Northland. When they fled south, they often walked with the old family in the Northland and heard about the deeds of the previous dynasty. They came across the river to deceive others. Many methods are too absurd , so it is not recorded."

When Shen Zhezi heard the reason, he couldn't help being amused. He didn't expect that this old man was still a talent. He deceived everyone in the world based on hearsay. Others had a difficult life after crossing the river, but this man turned around brilliantly.For that alone, it's remarkable.

Just looking at the dossier, Shen Zhezi's face darkened again, and he said in a concentrated voice: "I have recorded all your deeds since you crossed the river. If there is any omission, your life will be worse than death!"

Not to mention the fact that the old man killed the king, Shen Zhezi couldn't use it to overthrow Wang Shu even if the evidence was convincing.The relationship is too important to control, and a little carelessness may set off a protracted struggle in the court, and even develop into a war.Therefore, if an official has reached a certain level, even if he falls, the apparent crimes are often irrelevant to the actual crimes.

But after learning about this matter, it is not all fruitless. This matter cannot be used as a crime, but it can also become a huge loophole for Wang Shu, or it can induce him to continue to make mistakes.Even if the old man didn't know that Hanshi San was poisoning the emperor, poisoning the Zongwang was also a serious crime. 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 learn more to find more flaws.

He decided to kill Wang Shu, not so much to avenge the late emperor, but to establish prestige.
