MTL - Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty-Chapter 177 Dilemma
The next morning.
The Meridian Gate opened, and the Emperor Luan drove into the Forbidden City.
The director of the East Factory, Cao Zhengchun, was carefully accompanying Zhu Houzhao and serving him carefully.
Entering the imperial study, Xiao Fangzi, the **** who was serving in the eunuch, carefully brought the tea bowl and bowed to the side.
Zhu Houzhao took a sip from the tea bowl, and Cao Zhengchun placed a stack of memorials on the dragon case in front of him.
"Your Majesty, I have already found out that Shangguan Haitang was inseparably related to the poisoning incident in the imperial dining room, and the murder of Liu Meiren was inextricably related to her. Now, Shangguan Haitang has fled in fear of the crime. traced."
Zhu Houzhao opened the secret folder and read it carefully. It was all evidence collected by Cao Zhengchun, and part of it was Cao Zhengchun's inference of the case.
However, the most certain answer I got so far is that Shangguan Haitang has disappeared without a trace, and even Jinyiwei, who was placed in the Dongchang factory, doesn't know where he disappeared?
Zhu Houzhao was shocked when he heard the news.
At first, he thought it was Cao Zhengchun's inference, but finally saw that Haitang had indeed disappeared, which made his heart stunned.
He put the memorial aside, if Zhu Houzhao didn't know what Shangguan Haitang would do in the future, he would definitely not doubt Haitang.
However, Haitang was ultimately a brave man. If she really knew that he rebelled, she would be embarrassed to face this situation in the future.
Duan Tianya and Gui Hai Yidao also tried their best to protect the Marquis of Iron Courage, but after all, they were the courtiers of Daming and the spies of Hulong Villa. In the face of their final life and death, they still chose to swear allegiance to His Majesty today.
However, why did this Shangguan Haitang disappear for no reason?
"Your Majesty, Shangguan Haitang left all the clothes of the Dragon Protector Order and the internal guards behind, and left the Dragon Protector Villa without taking anything with them..."
"It was supposed to be a hasty escape with nothing."
"Furthermore, in Yichen's opinion, this Shangguan Haitang might have some mysterious evidence, and he must have fled in fear of the crime."
"She must know a lot, otherwise why doesn't she even wear the clothes of the spy in the big inner circle bestowed by His Majesty?"
Cao Zhengchun said the truth, and Zhu Houzhao listened without saying a word.
"Then, is there another possibility that the uncle sent her to do something else? She has a new task, so I'm not sure." Zhu Houzhao kept listening to Cao Zhengchun, Cao Zhengchun insisted on the palace The murderer who poisoned it was Shangguan Haitang.
"By the way, didn't your reply to me last time say that Shou Ningbo has huge doubts? You don't even have any evidence. You have doubts inside and out. Which one did you make me believe is true?"
"Go back to your majesty, it's not impossible for Shou Ningbo. The minister did search for evidence from him before. However, although there is evidence, the purpose of his crime is not pure, just to make his daughter a queen."
"However, the purpose of this Shangguan Haitang is very pure, and the evidence is solid, and the analysis of this minister is correct."
Zhu Houzhao's face darkened.
Cao Zhengchun followed his own hands to eliminate dissidents, and he would definitely do whatever he could.
However, Zhu Houzhao can't just kill this person. He and Yu Huatian are his right-hand man. If he can easily remove his right-hand man, who will he use in the future?
"Go and bring Yuhua Tianxuan to see me!"
"According to the order!"
Xiao Fangzi trotted out of the imperial study quickly, Cao Zhengchun hesitated, but seeing that Zhu Houzhao was busy again, he stood aside.
He believed that Shangguan Haitang's disappearance was true, and it was impossible for him to be dispatched by the Marquis of Iron Courage.
If it is confirmed that Shangguan Haitang was poisoned, then the nine clans will be involved. At that time, will his uncle, Zhu Ignore, be in trouble?
There have always been incidents in the imperial court where the whole body is affected. If Shangguan Haitang is convicted of the crime this time, he will completely overthrow the prince of iron courage.
For Cao Zhengchun, Hulong Villa is more difficult to deal with than the old foxes in the cabinet.
In less than a stick of incense, Yu Huatian entered the temple to meet the emperor.
Zhu Houzhao put down the imperial pen in his hand and said to Yu Huatian, "Just now, Cao Zhengchun told me that Shangguan Haitang is suspected of poisoning. Based on your investigation for a while, what are your results?"
"In response to His Majesty's words, I think that there are still many suspicions about this matter. The poisoned **** is dead, and the forces behind him have not surfaced. Last time, Eunuch Cao said that this matter was done by Shou Ninghou, but again Without sufficient evidence, Dongchang wants to blame the White Lotus Sect, but things are far from that simple."
"What I'm asking you is, do you think Shangguan Haitang did it?"
"When I go back to your majesty, I think there is absolutely nothing, because the last poisonous seven-step heartbreaking poison has basically nothing to do with Hulong Villa, and according to the minister's understanding, the last time Shangguan Haitang entered the palace, it was only to accept the canonization of the inner guard. , and there are so many palace royal guards around her, there is no chance to start."
"As far as I know, she has never stepped into the harem, and the imperial dining room is in the harem. Based on this, it is inferred that there is basically no possibility of Shangguan Haitang poisoning."
After Yu Huatian finished speaking, Cao Zhengchun's face was a little embarrassed, and even the cold sweat on his back began to seep out.
The rod given by Xichang was enough to make him lose half a year's salary.
When I met this Yuhuatian, I really felt miserable!
While thinking about it, Zhu Houzhao shouted loudly, "Cao Zhengchun!"
Cao Zhengchun was so frightened that he fell to his knees and said, "The servant is here!"
"What Yu Huatian said is the truth?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, what Eunuch Yu said, every sentence is true, but the old slave's eyes are clumsy, please forgive me!"
Zhu Houzhao looked at Cao Zhengchun and sighed, then waved his hand and said, "You all go down!"
In this regard, he still learned from his father, Emperor Hongzhi.
At this time, only Zhu Houzhao was sitting there alone in the imperial study, thinking a little.
Shangguan Haitang left Hulong Villa, where is she going?
What is she going to do?
Could it be that she is really pregnant as stated in the secret performance? Could it be that he really traveled far away to hide his name?
There are strict rules in the palace~www.novelbuddy.com~ She just came to see me and explain the real situation, but it is difficult to gain a foothold in the palace. If this matter spreads out, I am afraid it will become a joke to the outside world.
Has she been sent by Zhu Ignore to do eyeliner elsewhere?
However, Zhu Houzhao quickly dismissed this idea, because only he himself knew that the uncle's ambitions and shrewdness were just for Shangguan Haitang, and the Marquis of Tie Bing Shen was always her master and could never rebel.
However, after all, a couple in one day are blessed for a hundred days. Although the two did not have the name of husband and wife, but they were husband and wife. The romantic and happy night was in exchange for people going to the building.
Now, with the prince in the middle, it's a dilemma.
In fact, in Zhu Houzhao's mind, Shangguan Haitang is still very obedient. As long as she is willing to put down her face and enter the palace, she will definitely protect her at that time.
However, she now chooses to play and disappear, and even I can't help her.
Just when Zhu Houzhao was still thinking about it, Ouyang Jing came over quietly.
She came in and didn't say anything. She just filled Zhu Houzhao with tea and was about to leave.
