The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits - Chapter 196

[Chapter 194]

The late emperor has passed away, and everything that happened in the past has dissipated. It is difficult to figure out this problem.

After all, no one is the emperor himself, so I don’t know what he thought.

Shang Junlin also knew that it was useless to think about this question, and quickly turned the topic back: “This Master Zeng, I have had contact with him, and he is a rare good official. The relationship between the monarch and the minister was harmonious, and later the emperor listened to the traitor, and the relationship between the two gradually became estranged.”

“I also remember that this Taifu Zeng has a good reputation among the people. After he was killed by the traitor, many people spontaneously worshiped him. , and even a great Confucian wrote an article saying that the last ray of light in the court has gone out.” This matter was widely discussed in Beijing, and even Shen Yu lived in the Hou’s residence, and heard one or two.

Later, Shen Yu had his own power in his hands, and he had a general understanding of the big and small things that happened in the DPRK, especially the memory of Mrs. Zeng.

Shang Junlin: “If he didn’t die at that time, then the authenticity of the murder needs to be investigated. The late emperor did kill a lot of people in the court for him at that time, including traitors and some innocent people.”

Shen Yu: ” Back then

What about the dossier? How is it recorded on it?”

Shang Junlin: “Fang Jun went to see the dossier as soon as he found out the identity of the person behind the scenes. The record is like I said before, Mr. Zeng is already a ‘Dead’.”

Shen Yu: “No wonder no one has been found before, a person who has ‘dead’ will naturally not be placed on the suspect list. When Mr. Zeng ‘died’, His Majesty was already in court. When he emerged, did the late emperor begin to doubt it since then? How did he know who would be the last to ascend the throne?”

Shang Junlin: “I spent more time at the border when I was young, and I don’t know much about the mind of the late emperor. The incident with Taifu Zeng happened. When I was at the border, I was far away from the border, and when I came back, the dust had settled. As for the backhands left by the late emperor, I didn’t know at first, but when I encountered an assassination, I slowly found out that the things left by the late emperor were far more I imagined more.”

Shen Yu: “According to this, if he wants to make King Yue the new king, he can give him the crown prince position in advance, but no, the previous emperor never let go of the crown prince from beginning to end.”

If another prince is established and Shang Junlin wants to succeed the throne, it will be a lot of trouble, but the previous emperor did not. As the only direct son of the previous emperor, Shang Junlin inherits the throne of Dahuan of course, not to mention that he also has great military exploits and holds Dahuan in his hand. Most of the military power, other princes have no power to fight against him.

Besides, Mr. Zeng, why don’t Mr. Tan and others know his true identity?

Why did he never show his true colors in front of his subordinates?

Because he can’t, a deceased person reappearing in the world is bound to cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

“How did Mr. Fang find out his true identity? Also, he should not use his original appearance, right?” Shen Yu asked, if he used his own appearance, he should have been recognized when he was first caught. That’s it.

Although it has been more than ten years, Mrs. Zeng has left a deep impression in the hearts of the world. When Mr. Fang first entered the court, Mr. Zeng was still active in the court. It is said that Mr. Fang once almost worshipped Mr. Zeng. Under the master.

“This incident is also a coincidence. It happened that Fang Jun’s interrogation had a doctor who came to the prison to test the medicine. He saw the traces of the potion used on Zeng’s face. After the appearance was restored, Fang Jun recognized it at a glance.

” Isn’t Master Fang startled?” Anyone who sees a person who should have been dead for many years appears alive in front of him, it is impossible to calm down.

“Yes, if it weren’t for this accident, the true identity of the person behind the scenes would not have been so easy to find out.”

After the true identity of the person behind the scenes was revealed, the court was shocked.

Those who entered the dynasty as officials more or less knew something about the period of the late emperor, not to mention the matter of Taifu Zeng who shocked the court and the opposition at that time.

Who is Mrs. Zeng?

It was a clear stream in the late period of the late emperor’s reign. He was a good official who was praised by countless scholars and writers. Now I tell them that Taifu Zeng stood behind the king of Yue to help him rebel. The first reaction of many people is that they don’t believe it. .

“Is there a misunderstanding here?”

“Tseng Taifu was clean and honest throughout his life. He worked hard for Da Huan. After being demoted, he was murdered by a traitor, but now he says he didn’t die?”

“Not only did he not die, but he also committed serious crimes such as assassination and treason.”

“I can’t figure it out, why?”

“Why are there so many reasons? You want to know if you can go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and ask yourself, maybe you can get him from him. I asked some useful information from my mouth.”

The ministers in the DPRK, including Fang Jun, had deep doubts in their hearts.

Unlike others, Fang Jun can ask himself face-to-face.

In the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, Mrs. Zeng was tied to a post, and Fang Jun sat opposite him, feeling complicated.

He once looked forward to the character of the other party, and imagined that if the other party was not harmed by the traitor, Da Huan’s turmoil would be reduced a bit.

Now this person really appeared in front of him again, but in this way.

“Why did Taifu do this?” Fang Jun continued to use the previous title.

“Taifu…” Zeng Taifu looked dazed for a moment, “It’s been a long time since no one called me that, why do you do this? It’s just to obey orders.”

“Whose orders?” Fang Jun frowned.

“Besides the late emperor, who else could there be?” Mrs. Zeng laughed in a low voice, his voice hoarse.

“It was the late emperor who asked you to overthrow Da Huan’s country? Why did he do this?” Fang Jun was puzzled.

“Who knows? He is the king and I am a minister, and I must obey his orders, right? Just like now, what Shang Junlin wants you to do, no matter how outrageous it is, no matter how unwilling you are in your heart, you can only do it. Do it.” Mrs. Zeng looked strange, seemed to be laughing, and seemed to be mocking something.

Fang Jun looked serious: “Your Majesty is Your Majesty, he will not do anything harmful to Da Huan. Now this official is interrogating you, don’t involve other places, what order did the late emperor give you?”

“You don’t know. What? To help the King of Yue ascend to the throne,” Mr. Zeng’s mouth sneered even more, “Why does Mr. Fang ask over and over again, if you don’t believe me if I tell you, then tell me, what crime does your emperor want to put on me? What am I confessing to?”

Fang Jun was not provoked, but his voice was still calm: “The He family is also yours?”

“You said it was the He family who was so stupid that he sent his entire family to prison?” Mrs. Zeng sneered, “It’s just a stupid dog. ” Why do you want to attack your noble lord?” Fang Jun gave him

a

dispassionate look, “Don’t say this was also ordered by the late emperor.

”

Interrogation seems to have asked a lot of information, but in fact very little is really useful.

After finishing the confession and interrogation process, Fang Jun sent it to the palace.

Royal study.

Fang Jun knelt on the ground, and Eunuch Meng took the confession from him and handed it to Shang Junlin with both hands.

Shang Junlin picked up the confession, unfolded it, and read it at a glance, his eyes sank slightly: “Make arrangements, I want to see him.”

“Your Majesty?” Fang Jun raised his head in amazement.

Shang Junlin rubbed the confession in his hand, and his voice did not contain the slightest emotion: “There are some things, I want to confirm it myself.”

Fang Jun knew that what Shang Junlin was determined to do would not be influenced by others, so he swallowed the words of dissuasion. He

went on: “The minister follows the order.” Fang Jun went to the Ministry of Punishment ahead of schedule, and the Minister of Punishment was walking beside him, quite incomprehensible: “Why does Your

Majesty

want to come suddenly?”

Beak?” Fang Jun continued to arrange without turning his head.

“No,” the Minister of Punishment’s tone of voice was eager, “this person is a single-handed planner to attempt a rebellion. In case, the lower official said that in case something happens to your majesty, can you and I afford it?”

“So we have to arrange it in advance. , to stifle all possible dangers in the bud.”

“Master Fang doesn’t think that if His Majesty does not come, you can stifle all dangers from the source?” The Minister of Punishment said quietly.

Fang Jun stopped: “Then you should persuade Your Majesty?”

“Forget it, let’s make arrangements.” The Minister of Punishment wiped his face and joined Fang Jun’s actions.

The Ministry of Punishment was busy for a while because the Holy Drive was to be ushered in soon.

“I always feel that this matter has been ignored, and I plan to meet Mr. Zeng in person.” In the Yuzhang Palace, Shang Junlin and Shen Yu explained their plans.

“King Yue is also imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment?” Shen Yu poured a cup of tea for Shang Junlin, “Your Majesty taste it, it’s the new tea you just sent.”

Shang Junlin took the tea cup and took a sip: “Yes, Ayu suddenly Ask him what to do?”

“The people behind the scenes caught him, should it be time for Your Majesty to deal with the King of Yue?”

“Yes, he was kept to draw out the people behind the scenes. Now that people have caught it, there is no need for Shang Junyue to keep him.” Shang Junlin didn’t have any favorable impression of King Yue.

After listening to Shang Junlin’s words, Shen Yu fell silent.

Noticing his strangeness, Shang Junlin put down the tea cup, raised Shen Yu’s chin, and his voice was dangerous: “Ayu is not happy?”

Shen Yu shook his head: “It always feels like things are going too smoothly.”

It took so long to catch it People, it’s impossible to say that it’s smooth, Shen Yu also knows this, he’s just a little uneasy.

“Don’t think about it so much, I will never let people escape again.” Shang Junlin let go of his hand and stood up, “I heard from the punishment department that Shang Junyue’s situation is not very good now, Ruo Ayu really cares, and I Let’s

go together.”

“When does Your Majesty plan to go?”

“Just these two days.”

Shen Yu stood up and walked to Shang Junlin’s side: “King Yue knows that the one who has been supporting him is Taifu Zeng?”

Shang Junlin: “I don’t seem to know, he only knows that the late emperor left him a lot of things, but so far, only a very small part of these things have come to him. According to his confession, this time Raising an army, he can be said to be ‘forced’, and among the annihilated troops, less than 10% listened to his orders.”

Shen Yu: “In this way, it is better to say that the king of Yue was behind the rebellion rather than the king of Yue. People are using his name to raise troops. If you say this, the real purpose of Zeng Taifu is still open to question. Did he really do all this just to send the King of Yue to the throne?”

“Definitely not,” said Shang Junlin from He would not easily believe what someone said, “Perhaps he used to simply obey the orders of the late emperor and take the opportunity to assist the King of Yue to ascend to the throne, but after so many years in his

power

, no one can guarantee that his thoughts have not changed.”

, is the thing that can change a person’s heart the most.
