The emperor's anger rose, and his left temple throbbed.
The head hurts, and the emperor becomes more and more irritable.
The emperor wanted to kill when he got angry.
His gaze swept over everyone's face.
Who are you going to kill
In other words, who deserves to die
It seemed that none of the people present deserved to die. In other words, these people are not yet ready to die.
Then the damned people must be those who kidnap and traffic people.
"Jinwuwei, Xiuyiwei, Shaofu Prisoner, I want you to investigate this case with all your strength, and you must not let a single person go. Even if he is a three-year-old child, you are not allowed to be lenient. I want their blood to be sacrificed on this day, This land, sacrifice to all peoples!"
The son of heaven was full of murderous intent, obviously wanting to kill.
Everyone's heart trembled, how many people will die this time.
Can hundreds of heads calm the anger of the emperor
Or say thousands of heads are needed.
At this moment, Liu Zhao came out.
A mere thousand heads is not enough.
He wants to send more heads to the emperor.
"Grandfather, grandson has something important to report. It's about the palace."
The emperor stared at Liu Zhao with bloodshot eyes.
Liu Zhao was not afraid, and his attitude was firm.
The emperor waved his hand, Jin Wuwei and others all exited the hall.
Liu Zhao released a big move.
Human trafficking, where is it going!
To wash the identities of the kidnapped people and send them to the palace is the most serious thing.
After a day and night of hard work, Liu Zhao finally caught the clue. Lan Xiang did not lie, Lan Xiang's judgment was right.
The Kidnap Group indeed secretly sent people to the palace.
There are palace maids and little yellow gates.
This is not something that has happened in recent years.
Tracing back to the source, I am afraid that it can be traced back to more than a hundred years ago, when the Great Zhou was founded.
It was a dark age, when the kings fought for hegemony and the people were in dire straits. It is also a feast for kidnappers.
A large number of people were bought and sold, some were slaves, and some were better off than dead. Among them, there are also outstanding people, smart people, who were sent to the palace.
How deep is the water in this matter? Liu Zhao didn't investigate deeply whether he might be involved with concubines in the harem.
The water was too deep, and his identity was sensitive, and it was already very suspicious when he touched the water surface. If the investigation continues, the consequences will be unpredictable.
Liu Zhao used super willpower, and his desire to survive suppressed his inner curiosity, and also suppressed King Ning's curiosity.
When he touched the end of the thread, he gave up decisively.
He handed over this matter to the emperor, and let the emperor decide whether to continue the investigation.
When his identity changes in the future and he no longer worries about the unimaginable consequences, maybe at that time he will restart the investigation.
One is to satisfy my curiosity, and the other is to give myself an explanation.
The Son of Heaven looked at the materials Liu Zhao handed over, made bold and wild guesses, his face was ashen.
The muscles on Tianzi's cheeks twitched one after another, and the pain in his head became more and more painful, making him miserable.
The emperor gritted his teeth, "Is this serious?"
"The grandson dare not lie to the emperor's grandfather."
boom!
The emperor slammed his fist on the desk.
Turning back abruptly, staring at Chen Dachang.
Chen Dachang's heart trembled. He didn't know the content of the materials Liu Zhao handed in, but he instinctively felt the danger.
Without any doubt, Cheng Dachang knelt on the ground.
Because he knelt down, the maid Xiaohuangmen who served in the hall also knelt down one after another.
No matter what is wrong or right, it is definitely right to kneel down and plead guilty.
The emperor's mind was spinning and turning, and various thoughts flashed one by one.
This matter cannot be let the servants investigate on their own, what if they unite to deceive.
This matter can only be investigated by the Jinwu Guard, no, the Shaofu Jialing and the Shaofu Prisoner.
The family order of the Shaofu, members of the clan, are trustworthy.
The Prisoner of the Shaofu, who was sent as a child, and accompanied by reading, of course he can be trusted.
The emperor had a decision in his heart.
He suppressed the fear, panic, anger, and killing intent in his heart, and calmly said to Liu Zhao: "I know about this matter, you step back."
Liu Zhao bowed and retreated.
He didn't mention the Li family or Concubine Li De at all.
The clues are there. Unless the Jinwuwei and Xiuyiwei are blind, they will definitely find out that the Li family has a seemingly indistinct connection with these kidnappers.
Dig deep, there will be surprises.
Doesn't the Jinwu Guard like to handle big cases the most? After killing the heads of relatives of the clan, all members of the Jinwu Guard screamed excitedly.
This time, he personally delivered the head of the Li family, and he did not believe that the Jinwu Guard would let the Li family go.
…
"Young master's edict!"
When Liu Zhao was about to reach the palace gate, someone called him from behind.
He turned his head and saw Li Shizhong walking towards him.
"It turned out to be Master Sizhong. If it's not Master Sizhong, what orders do you have?"
Liu Zhao spoke politely, but with a bit of indifference.
Li Shizhong didn't care.
He asked bluntly: "In order to retaliate against the Li family, your Prince Ning's Mansion set off big cases again and again, killing so many people, why don't you stop?"
Liu Zhao looked at Li Shizhong with a half-smile, "Master Shizhong is standing here, who is he speaking for?"
Li Shizhong smiled softly, "I don't speak for anyone, I only seek justice for those who died in vain."
"Death in vain?" Liu Zhao smiled contemptuously, "How many people died in vain? Even if they died in vain, the servant should not ask me for justice. You should go to the Li family who is the culprit.
If the Li family doesn't commit crimes, even if I want to uncover a big case, I won't be able to. Also, your stance is very problematic, Sir, are you asking me to cover up a crime? "
Li Shizhong frowned, "You clearly know that I never asked you to cover up a crime. I just remind you that there are different ways to deal with the same thing. Different methods lead to different results."
Liu Zhao smiled sarcastically, "I'm sorry, I didn't talk too much. If my lord servant has nothing else to do, I'm going back."
"Young Master Zhao, are you really going to offend everyone in Prince Ning's Mansion? What good will it do you?"
Liu Zhao looked back at Li Shizhong, "Master Shizhong's words are very problematic. How come I don't know that all civil and military officials are on the side of the Li family. When will the Li family be able to cover the sky with one hand?"
Li Shizhong narrowed his eyes slightly, "You know that I am not talking about the Li family."
Liu Zhao lowered his head and smiled, "Your servant wants to say something, you might as well say it clearly."
Li Shizhong took a deep look at Liu Zhao, "Go back and tell King Ning that it is best to stop as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be times when you regret it."
Liu Zhao jokingly smiled, "Thank you for your reminder, Sir, I will take my leave."
Liu Zhao never underestimated his opponents. What's more, he didn't dare to take lightly what a powerful person like Li Shizhong said.
Li Shizhong originally belonged to Empress Cui Ruizhen.
Empress Cui Ruizhen died, and Prince Renxuan also died, but Li Shizhong still sat firmly in the position of servant, he was still a close minister of the emperor, and he could express his feelings directly in front of the emperor.
It can be seen from this that this person is very good, not ordinary good, but very good.
He has today, even though he has the credit of Empress Cui Ruizhen, but the most important thing is that he has the foundation of his life.
Only a capable person can continue to gain a foothold in the court after the backer's death.
Not only can he please the deceased Ruizhen Empress Cui, but he can also please the emperor at the same time. Few people in the world can do such a person.
Is this kind of person awesome
Of course cattle!
Liu Zhao didn't dare to be careless, and went to see King Ning immediately after returning to the palace.
He told King Ning exactly what Li Shizhong said.
King Ning frowned after hearing this.
Immediately afterwards, he sighed, "This time we have poked a hornet's nest! Trouble!"
"Father refers to the palace?"
"Naturally the palace. The connection between the kidnapper and the palace was broken by us. I don't know how many people will die this time. Our father and son have become public enemies of the eunuchs in the palace. Do you think it's troublesome?"
Liu Zhao asked a key question, "Where is Chen Dachang standing?"
King Ning didn't even think about it, and said directly: "Chen Dachang's identity is innocent, he must not be a kidnapper?"
Liu Zhao didn't fully believe it, "Before the kidnapper sends someone into the palace, he will whitewash the child's identity and create a clean family background."
King Ning clicked his tongue, "Do you think anyone can serve by the old man's side? If the old man doesn't investigate Chen Dachang's ancestors for eight generations, let him serve him close? A kidnapper can make up his identity, but he can't make up eight generations of ancestors. However, You reminded me, there are quite a few old guys in the palace, and now that I think about it, their identities are indeed a bit suspicious."
After finishing speaking, King Ning looked at Chang En, "Have you seen Fang Shaojian's family?"
Chang En shook his head, "I've never seen it before. I heard that Fang Shaojian is an orphan and has no family."
King Ning was taken aback, and asked again: "Where's that old thing from Shangshan Supervisor? Is there any doubt about his identity?"
Chang En was familiar with the situation in the palace, "Shangshan Supervisor is a native of Gyeonggi, and I heard that there is a nephew who will take care of him until the end of his life."
King Ning mentioned a few more names, and Chang En answered them one by one.
Some have problems, some don't.
King Ning sighed, stroked his beard, and said: "Trouble! Based on such speculation, there are quite a few people in the palace who are related to the kidnapper.
This time we turned their backs on them, and when they get over this and recover, they should retaliate against us crazily.
Trouble, if this king is not careful, he will follow in the footsteps of Prince Renxuan and become a thorn in the side of the palace servants. "
King Ning made trouble at every bite, but he didn't regret it at all.
So what if they let go of their background
In this world, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
Now that King Ning is upset, he flipped the table and reshuffled the cards, so what.
Have the ability to kill him
He is not Prince Renxuan, he can't fight back when he is beaten or scolded.
Whoever dares to play dirty, he is a hundred times more vicious than the other party.
Attitude is such an attitude.
But be careful.
King Ning said: "From tomorrow onwards, I will ask for leave and will not go to the palace. Boss, you are on duty as usual and keep an eye on the movement in the palace.
Those bastards might jump over the wall in a hurry. When you go out, bring a few more people with you.
As for the Li family, the grasshoppers after Autumn are minor problems compared to the servants in the palace, so they don't need to spend any more energy on the Li family. "
King Ning's handling method is very safe and conservative.
Liu Zhao frowned, he felt that it was too cowardly to shrink back like this.
"It's better to take this opportunity and hit them seven inches directly."
King Ning sneered, and pointed at Liu Zhao, "You, you, were born in the palace and never lived in the palace, so you still take things for granted. Chang En, tell him what's going on in the palace."
Chang En bowed slightly, "My lord, there are more than 9,000 people from the Huangmen in the palace, distributed in the four divisions, six bureaus, twenty-four yamen, plus the Shaofu, the imperial mausoleum, and various Huangzhuang.
In addition, there are hundreds of people with official positions, from the insiders to the prison officials. Plus four thousand court ladies and hundreds of nuns.
Any inconspicuous person here may have a double identity. Killing is not enough. Maybe, Prince Ning's Mansion also has someone they put in.
Lord, this old slave suggests that we should conduct another clean-up and investigation of the servants of the palace. "
King Ning nodded, "I will leave this matter to you. If there are any problems, no matter how big or small they are, they will all be driven out. There must be no people with two hearts around me. Especially those actors, singers, dancers, Find out, the eight generations of ancestors will find out."
The more King Ning thought about it, the more frightened he felt.
Who organized this gang of kidnappers
The ambition is too great.
What's even more frightening is that they penetrate everywhere, and they can be found everywhere.
Who is leading these people behind the scenes
How can a mere Li family lead such a large force? The tentacles extend to the big and powerful families, and can they reach the palace
The Li family obviously didn't have this ability.
Continuing to think about it, is there a shadow of this group of people behind the more than 100-year history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the succession of the throne and the abolition of the establishment
Thinking of this, King Ning shuddered all over, his eyes filled with horror.
Apparently Liu Zhao thought of this problem earlier than King Ning, so he wanted to hit Qicun to completely wipe out this group of people.
Interfering in the succession of the throne, abolishing the establishment, can this be something that ordinary people can do
The Li family has a connection with the kidnapper.
So Concubine Li De entered the palace, accepted favors, gave birth to the little prince, and so many people at home and abroad to build up momentum for the little prince, was it also ordered by the person behind the kidnapper
Could Concubine Li De be their pawn
Is their purpose to help the little prince to the throne
Continue to associate.
Prince Renxuan was hated by the emperor, and no one around the emperor spoke for Prince Renxuan. In the past, they thought it was the result of their own efforts. Could it be that the people behind it deliberately led them to do so
Deliberately set up this game just to destroy the prince
Because the crown prince's root is Zheng Miaohong, his mother's family and his wife's family are all big families that have been passed down for hundreds of years.
To tell the truth, it is more difficult for the kidnapper to influence the inheritance of these big families than to influence the inheritance of the throne.
Why do you say that
Because the big family pays attention to the concubines.
The person who inherits the family business must be a descendant, the mother's family is noble, and the wife's family is equally noble.
But in the royal family, it is true to say that the royal family attaches great importance to concubines. It is also true to say that the royal family is the place that pays the least attention to concubines in the world.
The succession of the throne is basically for those who are capable.
This ability is not ability. But who can have the last laugh.
No distinction between concubine and concubine, as long as it is the prince.
Even if the prince's birth mother is of humble origin and is a dancing girl, as long as he can have the last laugh, he can still be the emperor.
But in the big family, the son of the dancer inherits the family business, let's dream.
He would rather adopt a direct-born child from the family, but it is impossible for the son of the dancer to lead the whole family.
Therefore, affecting the inheritance of the throne is difficult to say, but it is not as difficult as affecting the inheritance of the big family.
King Ning said in horror: "From Emperor Taizong down, none of the successors to the throne of this dynasty are descendants."
Liu Zhao added: "Xianzong's biological mother came from a humble background."
From a humble background, these are all polite words.
In fact, Xianzong's biological mother was originally a brothel sister and son, who was redeemed by others and went to various mansions. Finally, he arrived at the side of Emperor Gaozong who was still in the hidden residence.
Gaozong passed away, Xianzong succeeded to the throne, a brothel sister, suddenly became the queen mother.
The wives and wives who came from a wealthy family had to salute the queen dowager who came from a humble background.
Seek the psychological shadow area of the wealthy wife and wife in those years. The moment I bowed to salute, I don't know how heartbroken I was.
Fortunately, Xianzong has no children.
After Xianzong's death, he adopted a concubine from his brother.
Yes, the bastard.
This concubine is Emperor Zhongzong, the great-grandfather of Liu Zhao, the grandfather of King Ning, and the biological father of the Son of Heaven.
The Son of Heaven is also not a direct descendant.
He overthrew the noble prince and all his brothers, and climbed to the throne by stepping on the mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
But speaking of it, it is still a bit of a legend that the emperor can ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
The emperor's family background was not very high, and his biological mother was just a concubine in the harem, who died within a few years after giving birth to the emperor.
The son of heaven has no mother clan, or the mother clan is too weak, so it can be ignored.
A prince without a mother, without any advantages, but forcibly blazed a trail, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and passed on a legend.
Thinking back to the years before the emperor ascended the throne, there were several fatal rounds, but he successfully avoided them, how miraculous.
Liu Zhao then asked: "Father, did the emperor's grandfather know that this group of people existed in the palace?"
Could it be that the emperor's ascension to the throne was the result of planning by the person behind the kidnapper
King Ning's face turned pale, he didn't dare to think deeply, but couldn't help thinking deeply.
"Could it be that those people want to recreate an emperor?"
In the eyes of those people, the little prince born to Concubine Li De is the best heir to the throne.
As for the deceased Prince Renxuan, he was born in a noble family, and his mother's family and his wife's family were all wealthy. There is no need for a group of shady villains to help.
So Prince Renxuan must die.
Was Prince Renxuan forced to death by the emperor
Or was he forced to death by the boss behind the kidnapper
