"Because he is the prime minister, maybe he thinks you are too strange to appear here, so he came to question you because he has doubts about you."
Uncle Ningtang thought it over and found that this explanation was the most reasonable.
Kun Yuyang looked around, all the people on the mountain had left, only the husband and wife were left here.
She got down from her horse and looked for something in the circle that Emperor Ning and the others surrounded the wild boar just now.
No one cares about the wild boars on the ground, they have already run away, leaving only a mess.
Kun Yuyang bent over to find something on the ground, and Uncle Ning Tang got off his horse and stayed behind her, feeling that she was very abnormal today.
She is not like this on weekdays.
"Yu Yang, what exactly are you looking for?"
Kun Yuyang had no intention of talking to him, and kept his eyes on the ground, trying to find some evidence.
The two people whose conversation she overheard said that the second prince's arrows were special lotus flower arrows, once pierced into the human body, they would crush people's intestines.
Such a peculiar arrow must have a structure that other arrows do not have, and maybe some clues can be found.
Uncle Ningtang followed her step by step, and she finally saw a black iron lump in the grass, and quickly picked it up from the ground.
"What is this?"
Kun Yuyang asked back, "Haven't you seen it? Have you ever seen something similar on the second prince's arrow?"
When Uncle Ning Tang was asked this question, he really remembered, "When we went up the mountain, I was behind the Second Prince. His quiver was on his back, and the arrows inside seemed to be embedded with this thing. What is the use of this thing? "
He took the iron block from Kun Yuyang's hand, and looked at it carefully. It was a ring-shaped iron block, which was buckled in the middle of the arrow. It seems that there is no use except to increase the weight of the arrow.
Kun Yuyang put the iron block into his arms, and pulled Uncle Ning Tang to the depths of the forest, "I have something very important, I must tell you."
…
When Emperor Ning was sent to the big tent at the foot of the mountain, he had already stopped breathing.
All the accompanying imperial physicians were forced by the concubines and ministers to rescue His Majesty, but no one did it, not even a prescription.
Imperial Physician Sun was pushed out by all the imperial physicians, he had a good relationship with Yufu, and soon after Xunchi left, he became the judge of the imperial hospital, because he was the only one who dared to go to Guhou Mansion to ask Yufu for advice at any time.
He wondered: "Let's put it this way, my lord, my lords. Even if the God of Medicine is here, it is impossible to restore a heart that has been crushed into a pulp. The arrows in your Majesty's arrows are not ordinary arrows. There are hidden mechanisms inside. It broke His Majesty's heart, no medicine will work."
"There is a mechanism in the second prince's arrow? So, he intends to assassinate His Majesty on purpose?"
The ministers discussed, the sudden death of Emperor Ning caused panic, but the one who assassinated Emperor Ning was still the most popular candidate for the crown prince!
Now how to do
Concubine Xian threw herself in front of Emperor Ning's corpse, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, "Your Majesty treated the Second Prince so well, how could he be willing to assassinate His Majesty? He is so cruel!"
No one noticed that there were not many tears in her veil, but an unconcealable joy.
Emperor Ning is dead, the second prince has committed the crime, and they succeeded!
The throne will belong to the eldest prince, and she will become Dongling's most honorable empress dowager! This kind of excitement and ecstasy, so she can only use a veil to cover up, otherwise it will be revealed at any time.
The ministers were at a loss, "Don't cry, ma'am, the most important thing is to discuss a charter first. His Majesty passed away suddenly. How should we deal with the future?"
Concubine Xian glanced at Yin Shuo, "I am a harem woman, how do I know so much? Since the Prime Minister is here, I would like to ask the Prime Minister to give you an idea."
All the ministers looked at Yin Shuo, although Emperor Ning no longer trusted him before his death, he did not suppress him too much, and even married Princess Danyang to him, making him the royal son-in-law.
Speaking of which, he has always done a good job when he was in charge of the court, and it is most appropriate for him to take the lead at this moment.
Yin Shuo stepped forward at the right time, "The most important thing now is to help His Majesty return to the imperial capital. It's getting late now, all ministers and female family members will work hard tonight, pack your bags overnight, and return to the imperial capital early tomorrow morning. The second most important thing is the national You can’t be without a king for a day. Your Majesty passed away suddenly without leaving any will, who should be the new king?"
This sensitive topic made the people in the seat tense up.
Needless to say
The second prince has already been detained for assassinating His Majesty, apart from him, the most prestigious prince in the court is only the eldest prince.
Unless Emperor Ning's last edict before his death was to pass on the throne to the Second Prince, who would dare to mention him
The eldest prince pretty much thought it would be a matter of course, and he didn't want to be in the crowd, so Ji Daogong slowly stood up.
He has never liked to talk too much, if he stood up, he would have some great opinions to express, and all the officials looked in his direction instantly, expecting him to follow suit.
Yin Shuo frowned slightly, compared to his prestige in the court, he was naturally inferior to Ji Daogong. Not to mention him, even his father Yin Yan can't compare.
The only person who can be compared with Ji Daogong in terms of prestige is the general Hou Gu Huaijiang.
They were the ones who Emperor Ning trusted the most during his lifetime.
Ji Daogong stroked his beard and looked at the reactions of everyone above him.
The eldest prince was nervous, Yin Shuo was vigilant, and the concubine Xian was a little uneasy... Everyone's expressions fell into his old and hale and hearty eyes, and they didn't miss a single bit.
He slowly said: "Prime Minister Yin is right. The most urgent task is to help His Majesty's spirit return to the imperial capital and arrange the funeral ceremony. As for the matter of the new monarch, there is no need to worry. His Majesty died suddenly without leaving a message. It is unknown if there is a secret decree hidden in it. Besides, for the cabinet ministers staying in the imperial capital, and Gu Hou Ye who is far away in the frontier, maybe His Majesty has left them a secret decree."
"So the old man thought that His Majesty should be sent back to the imperial capital first. The matter of the new monarch should be discussed after the cabinet ministers have discussed it, and after Lord Gu returned from the frontier. The Imperial Forest Army immediately sent someone to the frontier to urge Lord Gu to hurry up. Come back quickly!"
"yes!"
Someone outside the big tent responded and immediately set about arranging relevant matters.
Yin Shuo's complexion was a bit ugly, they haven't approved Ji Daogong's words, but the Imperial Forest Army has already complied.
It seems that Meng Fei, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, is not on the same side as them.
All the ministers felt that Ji Daogong's words made sense, and they all agreed, Yin Shuo and the First Prince couldn't say anything more, and everyone was awake that night.
In the large tent of the royal clan, the lights were turned off early in one tent, and a young couple hugged each other tightly on the bed.
In the silence, Uncle Ning Tang said: "Should I order the servant girl to light a lamp?"
Kun Yuyang grabbed his arm, "No, don't light the lamp. I'm afraid, I'd rather hide in the dark."
Uncle Ning Tang comforted me, "Yu Yang, be more sensible. You have always been a smart girl in my heart. Everyone can't sleep tonight, and every tent is lit. Only our place is dark, isn't it even more frustrating?" Suspect?"
Kun Yuyang let go of his arm, the servant girl came in and put a lamp on the table, and quickly stepped back tactfully.
There was another silence, and both of them looked sad.
Kun Yuyang gritted his teeth, and said proactively, "Husband, I'm from Xikun, so I don't know much about your Dongling's political situation. I'm just talking about my opinion, please correct me if I'm wrong, okay?"
"good."
She lowered her voice, "The second prince's arrow was tampered with. After shooting the arrow, he was very flustered, and he had no room to defend himself. I can think that he must have been framed. Someone framed the second prince and then assassinated him." Your Majesty, the one who benefits is naturally the one who is most likely to become the crown prince. Originally, the second prince had a better chance of winning, but now that the second prince has been framed, that is... the eldest prince?"
"You suspect that this matter was planned by the First Prince?"
Uncle Ningtang shook his head, "But Prime Minister Yin's reaction is also very strange. If he and the First Prince planned it together, then it's wrong. He and the Second Prince are the real in-laws. Why did you help the First Prince to frame the Second Prince?"
Kun Yuyang said: "What in-laws? Princess Danyang? The relationship between Princess Danyang and Prime Minister Yin has always been bad. We all saw how Princess Danyang humiliated him in the Spring Harmony Garden, didn't we? Is it possible that Prime Minister Yin was unwilling to be humiliated, so Instead, they voted for the First Prince's camp?"
When Kun Yuyang said this, it was really possible.
Uncle Ningtang said: "As the Prime Minister, Yin Shuo's real power was taken away by His Majesty, and he wanted to take a noble and arrogant woman to humiliate him. If it is said that he is dissatisfied with Princess Danyang and His Majesty because of this, it is not impossible."
Kun Yuyang grabbed his hand eagerly, "Will you tell this matter? If it is true that the eldest prince killed his father and the king, and finally ascended to the throne, what is the reason?!"
Uncle Ning Tang comforted her while thinking of countermeasures.
"As a member of the royal family, since I know about this matter, of course I can't turn a deaf ear to it. But the most important issue right now is not this. Elder Ji has already said that we will discuss the matter of the new king after Gu Hou returns. The most important thing now The problem is—you."
"I?"
"Yes, it's you."
Uncle Ning Tang looked at her helplessly, "You have already been suspected by Yin Shuo of your reckless going up the mountain today. Although we hesitated on the mountain for a while, Yin Shuo may not be able to find a flaw when he thinks about it. If you think about it carefully Think, when you eavesdropped on those two people's conversation, did you really not see them?"
…
In the dead of night, taking advantage of the commotion in the paddock preparing to leave for the imperial capital, the eldest prince entered Yin Shuo's tent.
"what happened?"
The eldest prince hurriedly walked, his brows were tightly furrowed, "What do you mean your subordinates were overheard? Who overheard?"
"Eldest Prince, don't worry."
Yin Shuo was much calmer than him, "I have already taught those two men a lesson. They heard the noise and chased them away. They didn't see who it was. Although they didn't see the face clearly, they saw that it was a man. Wear dark green clothes."
The eldest prince sat down, held hot tea and covered his hands, "A man?"
"Yes, they are talking about a man, does the First Prince have any clues?"
When the first prince thought of Concubine Xian, Kun Yuyang was a little weird when he rushed into the forest, but it was a woman wearing a red dress and a green skirt, obviously not a man in dark green clothes.
He shook his head, "It's nothing, we must find this man in dark green clothes. Once he emerges and let Ji Daogong or Gu Huaijiang know the truth, we will be finished!"
The eldest prince was about to burst into tears, and stared at Yin Shuo with fierce and decisive eyes.
Emperor Ning is dead, he has no way out, success or benevolence!
Yin Shuo reassured him, "Eldest Prince, please sit down, don't worry. I have already ordered people to search for the existence of this man in the paddock. Even if all the men in dark green clothes are killed today, I will never let this man wear it." Things got out."
With Yin Shuo's assurance, the eldest prince felt much more at ease, "Since that's the case, I'll leave this matter to you. But I always feel uneasy, Ji Daogong has never talked much, if he doesn't speak up today, I'll be dead now." It's the new king!"
Yin Shuo laughed, "Elder Prince, don't think things are so easy. Even if Ji Daogong doesn't stand up today, without the cabinet ministers and Marquis Gu, which minister has the courage to elect His Highness as the new king? No one has the weight. "
The eldest prince also thought about it, "Then what should we do? When Gu Huaijiang comes back, will he prevent me from being enthroned? If he really knows about the poisoning back then, he will definitely not let me be enthroned!"
"Who will be enthroned if His Highness is not allowed to be enthroned? Let the second prince who assassinated His Majesty in public be enthroned?"
Yin Shuo smiled faintly, holding up the teacup confidently, "One poisoning, one assassination, who is more noble than the other? What's more, Gu Huaijiang didn't mention that matter at the beginning, so he may not say it now. And the second prince's crime is Everyone in the civil and military courts knows it, how did he prevent His Highness from ascending the throne?"
