Chapter 174 Who else besides him!?
As a group of people looked at each other, Cao Yi still took the first role to speak: "Let's analyze it one by one... Who is responsible? Let's talk about the things in His Highness De's house first."
Ke You stood up.
He was among the senior officials of these embroidered wards guards who had almost no contact with Liu Mingqi, so he went to search Liu Mingqi's home.
Otherwise, if you send an acquaintance like Du Wentao, it will be difficult to keep anything hidden.
After bowing, he said, "Bi Jie and others went to the Dewang Mansion, and searched every room, including the rooms of Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Li, but there was nothing special about them.
Especially in the laboratory and study where His Highness De often stays, we have almost searched all the places we can find, ensuring that there are no secret passages, secret rooms, etc.
In total, I found these things that he locked in the three-story cabinet. By the way, the map was on the big wall of his study and it was not hidden."
Emperor Jinghe looked at Liao Shicong.
Liao Shicong said: "These maps Your Highness once talked to the ministers. It was probably the map of the world we are in when His Highness saw what the gods said in his dream... Please read..."
While speaking, the Minister of War also walked to the map, asked the two eunuchs to display the map, and pointed at it: "Your Highness said we can not want other places, but in this Nanyang, Japan, Yizhou and other areas within the Strait of Malacca, we must firmly grasp it in our hands. Only in this way can we not be threatened by foreign enemies."
Emperor Jinghe and a group of ministers looked at the pictures he drew and nodded slightly.
Ge Songdao also asked: "Why is this continent so big in the east, which is larger than our Dakang area, but still has the words "primitive tribe" written on it? Are they very backward natives?"
"right!"
Liao Shicong said: "According to Your Highness, they were the defeated survivors of ancient dynasties. From our north, that is, Shiwei, to the north, through here... Another continent that was covered with ice and snow, came to the Bering Strait, but later due to various geological changes, this place had become an ocean, and the two continents were completely separated!
The continent has extremely rich natural resources and people can survive no matter what, so their development speed is very slow, almost equivalent to what we were like a thousand years ago.”
"ah?!"
Liu Renhuai also said in surprise: "What are their natural resources rich?"
"Almost two-thirds of the land is comparable to our top fertile land, and water and forest resources are particularly rich, including gold, silver, iron, copper, etc.." Liao Shicong said the more he said, "Especially in the south, there are countless gold mines and countless silver mines, and copper mines are simply a hundred times that of us! Your Highness calls this place the most loved by God! He said that we can drive a boat directly to grab it in the future!"
"Oh, it's impossible to grab it!"
Liu Renhuai said directly: "But our caravan can go and see it. Copper mines are good things! Wait until Mrs. Chen..."
He was about to plan further when he suddenly saw that Jing Hedi's face looked ugly, so he quickly stopped.
Others also reacted.
Now we are pursuing the murderer who killed the two princes. How can we negotiate business?
Seeing that everyone stopped, Jing Hedi coughed lightly: "Okay, put away Mingqi's things and put them back... By the way, whoever dares to reveal those draft drawings, will you be punished severely? Do you know?"
"yes!"
Ke You retreated with relief.
He knew that Emperor Jinghe said this, which meant that King De had passed the test.
Then he has no pressure to handle the wrong case.
...
The second one is Dongyasheng, who is responsible for the search of King Wu Liu Mingjing.
Dongyasheng's mood was even more relaxed.
He pointed to the thing in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, you sir, there are many messy things in His Royal Highness's house, but the most are these weapons and armor... Of course, the number is not large, it is just the equipment of dozens of people.
What you can pay a little attention to is the map of the surrounding countries, which shows that His Highness Wu still has the intention to make achievements for the country! He should not be satisfied with going to Yunnan this time to help train mountain special forces.”
Liu Mingjing went to Sichuan to train special forces, but to the outside world he just told him that he was going to assist.
In addition to the emperor and prime ministers, there was also the Minister of War Liao Shicong. No one knew that Liu Mingjing would participate in the battle to conquer Nanzhao.
This is not only what Liu Mingqi strongly won for him, but also a reward for Liu Mingjing's previous battles in Jiangnan and Jinzhou City.
Hearing Dongyasheng's words, Jing Hedi snorted coldly: "This kid will never stop all day long... When he comes back, he will be locked up for a month before he will talk about it! How is this a prince who will go to war on behalf of the court?"
“That’s true.”
Cao Yi nodded, "Okay, these two high men have confirmed that there is no problem, so... Du Wentao, just come out and say!"
Du Wentao's face has been depressed since he returned to the palace.
When he went to search the houses of the three princes, he didn't know that the most important thing was King Ning's mansion. Even the emperor and the ministers did not tell the clues about Zhou Ming's letter, but just let him play freely.
As a result, after searching out these things in the Ning Prince's Mansion, Du Wentao was stunned.
His heart and hands were trembling directly, feeling that he was too unlucky.
But at this time the Prime Minister asked, he must have no choice but to answer.
In fact, the most important thing is not the prime minister, but the emperor whose vision has become cold.
Du Wentao had never seen Emperor Jing like this, and he was a little scared.
He gritted his teeth and coughed lightly, saying, "Your Majesty, sirs... After some search, we found these things mainly in King Ning's study and bedroom.
The small box containing daggers and bottles was found in the underground lattice of his bedroom. Those disrespectful things were found in the compartment under the study desk."
"snort!"
Jing Hedi snorted coldly, his tone was extremely cold.
"But there is something that makes me care more about." Du Wentao said, "It seems that no one has moved these two places for a long time. At least in the past one or two months, there has been no trace of Ning Wang moving."
"How can he do it? As long as he kills my prince and kills me, he can become the emperor openly!" Jing Hedi said gloomyly.
Ge Songdao frowned and said, "No, if this poison was taken out by King Ning, it shouldn't have been moved recently! There should be traces of movement these days!"
"He only has this place to hide things?" Jing Hedi became angry, "Hong Lian! All the evidence is conclusive! Can he still wrongly accuse him? Do you think this was done by Mingqi or Mingjing, and then frame him Liu Mingguan after he finishes it!?"
"No, no, no, I don't mean that the two princes blamed Prince Ning." Ge Songdao shook his head: "But I think this is very strange and a little strange."
"Um……"
When Cao Yi saw that Emperor Jinghe was about to get angry again, he asked Du Wentao: "You have caught the Li Zhuzhen you asked you to catch?"
"Catched." Du Wentao said: "According to your instructions, he would stuff his mouth as soon as he was caught, and he did not have the chance to commit suicide."
"good."
Cao Yi said: "You send someone who is proficient in punishment to interrogate him, take the poison bottle and ask him what's going on! You are not allowed to tell the people who are punished about this, nor are you involved in anyone, just let him say it yourself, do you know??"
"I understand!"
The three of them said in unison.
...
When these embroidered guards left, Jing Hedi vented his anger again: "What are you doing? Why do you want to argue for him? Is it because Liu Mingguan is the candidate for the future emperor who you all are optimistic about? Ah?!"
His speech was so unrestrained that everyone was stunned.
This is the first time they have seen the emperor lose his composure.
"presumptuous!"
As a result, someone immediately scolded the emperor.
This is an old voice.
Everyone turned around and found an old lady standing at the door.
Everyone hurriedly saluted her: "See Mother (Empress Dowager)!"
The Empress Dowager also walked into the hall with a cold face, but she refused Bai Qian's support.
Even when the emperor wanted to help her, she pushed her away: "Your Majesty, what did you say just now? Everyone is helping you find out the truth, so that the murderer will not be in vain, but it will not be wronged. Isn't this a normal case to handle the case? Why do you have to do things according to your happiness and anger? And you still slander your subordinates like this? Do you have the appearance of an emperor?"
Emperor Jing He was sad, but he couldn't argue with the Empress Dowager. If he dared to talk back, the problem would be big.
Dakang puts filial piety first.
Even the emperor cannot be unfilial.
Tomorrow, the Chief Censor Wang Zhigeng dares to kneel down and ask him to apologize. If he doesn't apologize, Wang Zhigeng dares to directly hit the pillar and die.
So Emperor Jing He could only squeeze out a smile, "Mother, I don't mean that... But look, I finally had two princes, but they... but... they... I'm not willing to give up! My son hated me!!"
As he spoke, his eyes turned red and his voice choked.
The Empress Dowager was originally angry, but she felt soft-hearted when she saw this.
After all, this is his eldest son and the master of the world.
Now that he has suffered such a great grievance, it is not too strange that he gets angry or something, it is completely understandable.
If ordinary families were probably going out with a knife, the emperor would be very restrained.
So the queen mother's tone softened, "Your Majesty, I'm not making trouble, but I want you to be more sober and deal with this matter... What the Prime Ministers said is true. What if it's not Mingguan, what you should do in the future if you kill him by mistake?"
Hearing this, the emperor gritted his teeth and said, "My mother! I am not wronged for no reason. Now the evidence is conclusive, and he has the most obvious motive. Who else isn't he?"
...
