I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 214 First Trial of the Hongwan Case

An outspoken, courageous and unassuming censor, Du Yushi, was used by the Hakka Baba to buy a batch of musk and other precious medicinal materials from outside the palace, and sent them to the palace as a step to advance...

Originally, this kind of trivial matter was simply inconspicuous, and no one paid much attention to it.

In the Ming Dynasty, that official had never given a gift to his superiors, so he was probably a big monster in the officialdom, so everyone has long been familiar with it.

Even Zhu Youjian, the idiot emperor, said that the courtesy of taking favors and recognizing relatives is not considered bribery...

Unexpectedly, following the censor's suicide, a court secret was revealed.

Even Wei Zhongxian was fooled to death.

Those batches of so-called "precious medicinal materials" were carefully prepared and boiled by the imperial physicians, and finally formed a medicine called "Lengxiang Yulu Pills", which became the favorite of the concubines in the harem.

Without him, the fragrance is dense in the ears.

This kind of pill called 'Lengxiang Yulu Pill', no matter the queen, noble concubine, concubine or court ladies, just swallow one pill, which can guarantee body fragrance for three to five days.

What is particularly amazing is that this kind of body fragrance accumulates over time and will eventually completely change a person's body odor. Even if you stop swallowing that thing, you can still smell a faint fragrance.

At the same time, it is said that there is also a fragrance in it, which can greatly stimulate the emperor's yang energy...

Even Zhu Youjian, the idiot emperor, liked the faint fragrance very much.

Unexpectedly, someone suddenly revealed that that thing is poisonous.

Moreover, it is very toxic.

Because, this 'Lengxiang Yulu Pill' is a secret recipe brought by Hakka Baba from the depths of the grassland, which increases the fragrance of the human body and at the same time makes the female uterus cold and infertile.

Even if she is pregnant, she will have a miscarriage inexplicably...

……

"So, is it a secret court recipe circulated in Persia? Can it cause the miscarriage of concubines in the harem?" Zhu Youjian was at a loss when he heard this for the first time.

Can you still play like this?

Immediately afterwards, his face darkened.

The elder brother of the first emperor, Zhu Youxiao, had eight concubines who were pregnant, but had inexplicable miscarriages, which made him, the idiot emperor, succeed to the throne.

For this matter, no one cares.

Even Zhu Youjian, the idiot emperor, thought that his brother, the carpenter emperor, was addicted to drinking and sex, and scrapped his waist early, which was really not worth the candle.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

Among them, the one who reacted the most was the emperor's sister-in-law Zhang Yan...

After all, she was one of the victims, and she was pregnant three times, hoping to give birth to a boy and a half girl for the first emperor to continue the royal blood.

However, every time you are pregnant for less than three months, you will...

"Long live, no, brother Huang, this matter must be investigated to the end!" As she spoke, the sister-in-law Huang got up gracefully, knelt down in front of Zhu Youjian, and burst into tears:

"During the Jingtai Dynasty, a Hongwan case caused a lot of trouble, but in the end it was settled.

Now, another Lengxiang Yulu pill came out...

The royal blood of the Ming Dynasty, is this going to be cut off?Brother Huang, You Jian, you have hundreds of concubines in the harem, it has been more than a year or two, but there has been no movement.

This matter is really outrageous.

Royal face, why not! "

Queen Zhou also fell to her knees, weeping in a low voice.

The empress empress has a gentle and pleasant temperament, and she has always been obedient to the emperor. Even when her father Zhou Kui was killed, she only cried a few times in silence, and did not break away from the emperor to make a fuss.

She also once thought that the emperor's neglect of her should have something to do with her disappointing belly.

Pregnant twice before and after, but miscarriage without exception.

For this reason, she could only complain about herself, hid in the backyard of the deep palace and cried a few more times, not daring to tell Zhu Youjian, for fear of completely annoying the emperor...

From this point of view, Hakka Baba's legacy is still spreading in this deep palace backyard!
If it weren't for this big investigation, no one would have known that the vicious behavior of the Northern Man princess towards Daming would have horrifying consequences!
"Emperor's sister-in-law, queen, please get up first."

Zhu Youjian stretched out his hand to support the emperor's sister-in-law Zhang Yan and Queen Zhou, took a bowl of wine, and drank slowly, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

In the cabin, the murderous look is overwhelming.

For a long time.

The idiot emperor suddenly laughed.

"Actually, it's pretty good, after all, it was discovered relatively early." He picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, "delivered an order to hand over all the people involved to Wei Zhongxian and Qian Qianyi.

In addition, the members of Jinyiwei should not participate in the trial of this case, as long as they are monitored at all times.

I want to see how the two of them handle this matter. "

"Go and tell Wei Zhongxian, and just say that I know about it."

When the Jin Yiwei went out, Zhu Youjian added another sentence: "Let the world know that I am going to be drafted among the people."

Jin Yiwei bowed and promised, and then went to deliver the decree.

"Sister-in-law, queen, continue to drink tea," Zhu Youjian looked indifferent, as if nothing had happened, "Everyone, please."

"Then play music, then dance!"

……

The idiot emperor Zhu Youjian said lightly "I know", but it was hard to break the traitor Wei Zhongxian.

Similarly, Qian Qianyi, the civil servant leader, also looked depressed.

Unexpectedly, such an earth-shattering "big and important case" was involved in a case of "collusion with anti-thieves", which is simply unprepared.

The minds of the two people are similar.

The emperor's reticence on face is actually the biggest statement.

Whether it's a mule or a horse, let's take it out for a walk.

To poison the concubines and concubines of the imperial harem, to plot against their descendants...

this matter!

It's too appalling!
That Hakka Baba is simply a poisonous snake that has been lurking for many years. It is trying to force the imperial family of Ming Dynasty to a dead end.

"Mr. Wei, this matter...cough!"

Qian Qianyi was about to speak just now, but suddenly, his heart was terrified, he couldn't help shivering, and shut up.

Not just cold balm.

There is also a 'Hongwan case' involved with the civil servants...

If the emperor was determined to cause trouble and wanted to investigate that case as well, not to mention Qian Qianyi, even the nearly [-] to [-] percent of the civil servants in the Ming Dynasty would be unable to eat and walk around.

Poisoning the emperor, if the matter is torn apart, it will be an unprecedented scandal!

How come!
"Master Qian, why do you hesitate to speak?" After drinking a bowl of tea, Wei Zhongxian's mood gradually calmed down, "Long Live God said that there is a private talent show, what do you think Master Qian will do?"

Qian Qianyi was still in a daze.

"Lord Qian, are you reminded of the Hongwan case that you civil servants and Qingliu made?" Wei Zhongxian said solemnly: "At the beginning, you were all focused on killing Emperor Jingtai, and designed such a mess.

Murdering the emperor, no matter how many crimes, finally fell on my head, Wei Zhongxian.

Mr. Qian, what a good way for you civil servants! "

Qian Qianyi remained silent, picked up the tea bowl and wanted to take a sip, only to find that it was already dry.

He slowly put down the tea bowl in his hand, took a deep breath, and said, "Can we not mention the Hongwan case?"

"Once it is uncovered, neither of us will be able to please anyone."

Wei Zhongxian shook his head slightly, as if looking at an idiot, he glanced at Qian Qianyi, and said coldly: "Master Qian, if you still have some luck in your heart, then you just wait for death.

The cooperation between the two of us ends here.

You will be your bullshit civil servant leader, and I will be my treacherous minister, great eunuch, and old eunuch!
In the final analysis, you and I are the emperor's minions, eagle dogs, don't think that you, Mr. Qian, read a few more sage books, so you think you are superior to others.

From our family's point of view, he's just a dog thief who can read a few words! "

Wei Zhongxian's words were very blunt.

He almost pointed at Qian Qianyi's nose and cursed.

"Do you think that the Hongwan case is flawless, and all the dirty water is poured on the eunuchs?" Wei Zhongxian continued to scold, "A self-righteous scholar is not shit!
An idiot who has more than enough success and more than failure!

Now that an accident is finally about to happen, you still want to lie?Do you think that the current emperor, as your civil servant Qingliu said, is a big idiot who is ignorant, idle, prostitution, greedy for money and lustful?
If you still think so, then, Mr. Qian, please go ahead.

Our family is going to handle the case. "

Qian Qianyi's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he hesitated for a while, before he said with a livid face: "Then according to Mr. Wei's intention..."

"Our family protects our dog's life, Mr. Qian can do whatever he wants."

Qian Qianyi let out a long sigh, and said: "Why don't I think so, but once the Hongwan case is involved, I... can't save my life at all."

What he said, to a large extent, may still be true.

After all, poisoning the emperor...

It's frightening to think about.

Although he, Qian Qianyi, had never personally participated in the 'Hongwan Case', as a core figure of the Donglin Party, he at least knew about it.

If you don't report what you know, follow the law of Ming Dynasty.

guilty with the perpetrator.

That is, the crime of destroying the nine races...

"Mr. Wei, please save me!" Qian Qianyi finally figured it out after thinking about it.

He knelt down on the ground with a 'plop', slammed his head on the ground, and said: "I, Qian Qianyi, as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, did not report the Hongwan case if I knew about it. .

Qian, I will definitely repay Wei Changgong's kindness and virtue! "

Wei Zhongxian looked at Qian Qianyi expressionlessly, and said coldly: "But, fundamentally speaking, the trust and grace that Emperor Jingtai had for you scholars was far greater than mine, Wei Zhongxian.

In the end, it wasn't just a red pill that killed him! "

Qian Qianyi kept silent, kowtowed a few times silently, and stood up.

"Forget it, our family is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and we can't protect ourselves," Wei Zhongxian finally let go, and said, "Your Excellency Qian also thinks clearly, if the planning of this matter is not thorough enough, if a word is leaked, I, Wei Zhongxian, don't care. Anyway, he was the biggest dog eunuch in the Ming Dynasty.

But, Mr. Qian, hehe! "

The implication is very clear.

Once those civil servants knew that it was Qian Qianyi who sold those people to Wei Zhongxian... No, if they were sold to the idiot emperor, Qian Qianyi's reputation would be completely ruined.

In the future, it is estimated that in the Ming Dynasty, there will be no place for him to stand.

"Mr. Wei, just talk about what to do next." Qian Qianyi said suddenly: "It's useless to talk more now, but it will only make people upset. Since you have to do it, let's do it thoroughly."

"What kind of thorough method?" Wei Zhongxian sneered, and said, "Could it be that you got another red pill and tricked the emperor into swallowing it?"

Qian Qianyi's expression changed drastically.

You can't take this joke!

"Mr. Wei Factory!"

Wei Zhongxian sneered a few times, and stopped joking.

"My lord Qian, from the looks of it now, it's one case, but in fact, in the emperor's heart, it's three or four cases!"

"The Hakka Baba used Lengxiang Yulu Pills to harm the harem, causing the late emperor to cut off the royal heirs. This is an open case, and no one can escape."

"This second case should be the case of the late emperor's untimely death. In this case, you civil servants and our eunuchs are inseparable from each other, and no one can escape."

"There is a third case, the Hongwan case... It seems that no one can escape."

"In this way, none of us can get away with it, so we can only find a way to sum up all the cases into one case, and save as many lives as we can. To be honest, our family I guess I can't keep my head!"

While talking, Wei Zhongxian filled up the tea for the two of them, took a sip, and couldn't help rubbing his old face: "Anyway, this time, it's extremely dangerous!"

Qian Qianyi didn't dare to say anything.

At this time, you can't play tricks.

"Master Qian, what else can you do to make the Emperor Longyan happy? If you can't find a way to say a few things, let's hold your life first?" Wei Zhongxian sighed quietly:

"Unfortunately, our family is too deeply involved, I'm afraid we can't escape death.

Otherwise, if you toss a few railways, coal mines, iron mines and so on, you won't be helpless when things come to an end..."

Qian Qianyi nodded slightly, and said calmly: "I can actually do something here, but unfortunately, I am afraid that the emperor will be dissatisfied, and it will be self-defeating instead."

So, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Know well.

This time, many people's heads will inevitably be cut off, but at least the heads of Qian Qianyi and Wei Zhongxian should be preserved for the time being no matter what.

"Mr. Wei, the emperor wants to run through the northern railway, and the most lacking thing at present is money and food, right?" Qian Qianyi asked.

"It's not just money and food," Wei Zhongxian said: "There are also those scholars who rush to the railway at every turn, so that the coal in Datong can't be transported to the capital. It's really hateful!"

"I can handle this matter." Qian Qianyi said.

"There are also those wealthy families along the way, academies and so on. They always say which mountains cannot be moved, which rivers cannot be filled, and that they affect the dragon veins of the Ming Dynasty. It is simply absurd!"

"I can handle this matter properly."

"As for those bastards colluding with Jiannu and Beiman, it is estimated that there will be various obstructions in the court hall and in the county government offices along the way."

"This matter can also be resolved."

"What makes Long Live the most angry is the lack of money and food, and the slow progress of the project. He wants to take the train to inspect the defense of the Great Wall on the northern line. It seems that he can only wait three to five years..."

"This matter, I... can also find a way to solve part of it!"

Wei Zhongxian's face finally relaxed, eyes drooping, looking at the teacup in his hand, and said in a low voice, "Then, let's try the Hongwan case first!"

"The red pill case?"

Qian Qianyi was taken aback for a moment, and then overjoyed, and exclaimed in a low voice: "Mr. Wei, you are brilliant!"
