The reason why Tang Fan was impeached was because someone saw him go into and out of Wang Zhi’s house in Beijing, and that night, Wang Zhi went to the East Palace to visit the prince.
Cabinet ministers and eunuchs are very close, which is taboo.
Regardless of whether there is a direct relationship between the two, the coincidence in time is enough for people with ulterior motives to connect it, so the name of the impeachment of Tang Fanfan is also very clear, that is to peep at Gong Wei and be skeptical.
According to the process, Tang Fan had to think behind closed doors at home. He could no longer go to the cabinet office, and then talked about himself.
But I don’t know what went wrong in the middle. His play was not able to reach the emperor, and the matter was delayed indefinitely, and Tang Fan didn’t get the emperor’s reply, so he had to stay at home for a long time.
This is really a ridiculous thing. Liu Jian and Xu Pu did n’t go to Shoufu Wanan. He asked him to come forward and help Tang Fan to intervene. Wanan agreed on the surface. In fact, did he go to the emperor? No one knows. Anyway, the emperor did not speak for a day, and Tang Fan could not return to the cabinet for a day.
Liu Jian, Xu Pu and others apparently saw Wanan’s perfunctory and went directly to the emperor. He wanted to ask a clear question in person, but he was told that the emperor’s dragon body was unhealthy, and no one was there.
So far, Tang Fan didn’t know where his own actions had been stared in secret.
As a last resort, in order to avoid suspicion, his connection with Wang Zhi was forced to break.
Wang Zhiyuan also hoped that Tang Fan would help him solve his doubts, but unexpectedly Wan Wan first started to be strong, and directly cut off his foreign aid.
In order to avoid suspicion, Tang Fan was unable to contact him for the time being. Of course, it was not necessary to contact him. However, it was undoubtedly easy to teach others to take Tang Fan into danger completely.
Although Wang Zhi is not a sage who complains with virtue, he can’t do anything that will hurt his friends.
Now he can only rely on himself.
The days of Shang Baojian are far more leisurely than serving around the emperor, but Wang Zhi can’t frequently go to the East Palace to visit the prince. You have to know that his duties are not related to the East Palace now. In the eyes of interested people, it caused trouble.
He needs to find a breakthrough from elsewhere.
Wang Zhi hoped that the news that Tang Fan passed on to him was wrong, and the prince was no exception.
But in this way, what Wan Wan did would seem strange.
Because letting the crown prince emperor pray for blessings is Wan Guifei ’s idea, but now the commander is impeached to impeach Tang Fan, and the shadow of Wan Dang is hidden behind him.
If there is no conspiracy, why should Tencent Party spend so much time doing so many things?
Let’s talk about conspiracy. Is it possible that the heavy rain will affect the prince’s gonorrhea?
If they are brave enough to replace the prince, where is the opportunity?
He still remembers that in order to prevent unexpected incidents during the prince’s journey to sacrifice and blessings, he and Tang Fan and others had speculated in advance what might happen to the prince.
They finally discovered that the most dangerous possibility was the time when the crown prince entered the Chongzhen Longevity Palace.
Because only the prince would stay in the quiet room alone. If someone was already lurking inside and took the opportunity to carry out the assassination, no one could be prepared.
In view of this, on the eve of the prince’s trip, Suizhou had already conducted a search of the inside and outside of the quiet room with people, confirming that there was no possibility of Tibetans and that there was no organ dark room.
In addition, the prince was accompanied by someone throughout the whole process. Under the eyes of everyone, it would be impossible to change the prince.
When Wang Zhi thought of this place, he recalled what Tang Fanping said everyday.
There will never be perfect people or things in this world. The so-called perfection is probably just that we have not carefully paid attention to its flaws.
Wang Zhi tried to imitate Tang Fan’s ideas to restore what happened that day.
Then he thought of a key point.
A key that is likely to be ignored by everyone.
carriage.
Yes, carriage.
When everyone’s attention is focused on the most likely dangers and flaws, the other danger is ignored.
After the prince left the palace, in addition to being in the quiet room, the only chance to be alone was in the carriage, which was even longer than his time in Gongguan.
The convoy is so mighty that the movement is not too small. If something happens in the carriage and the sound can be controlled, it is very likely that it will not be discovered.
More importantly, the carriage was adjusted to imitate the emperor’s car on the eve of the prince’s exit from the palace, and was specially rushed out. Until then, there was no carriage designed specifically for the prince to leave the palace.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhi couldn’t sit still. He directly found his cronies. The other party was a small chief of Zhidian, who was doing all sorts of chores.
“You go to the chief supervisor and try to find the car that the prince used to leave the palace that day to see if there are any abnormalities,” he said to the other party.
“What do the ancestors want to check?” The man was unclear. “The prince’s car was used for a long time, and I don’t know when the prince will leave the palace next time. According to the apprentice, I am afraid that the carriage will be dismantled.”
Wang Zhi didn’t expect this, but he heard it for a moment. “Can we still find the parts?”
The man said with a smile: “It may be possible, but those wheels and carriages must have been included in the warehouse of the supervisor. The old ancestor wants to check which one. You tell the apprentice, so that the apprentice has a heart.”
Wang Zhi sideways said: “You go to see if the carriage can hide people or some organs.”
The man was dumbfounded: “Ah?”
Wang Zhi said: “It’s a big thing, don’t talk outside, or you and I won’t be able to get away, understand?”
The man nodded again and again and led away.
Today is the ninth day of the first month, a very common day.
The Yellow Calendar reads: Everything is inappropriate.
This is the fourth day of Tang Fan’s impeachment. He is at home, and Wang Zhi knows him. This person is estimated to be happy to take the opportunity to be lazy at home.
The crown prince’s condition is still intermittent, not much bad, and not yet fully recovered. The doctor’s speech is still vague, which is their consistent style.
Since the official leave system of Daming is different from that of the previous dynasty, official holidays do not go directly from the Spring Festival to after the Lantern Festival, and they have to come back on duty in the middle, so today is also the day of the Yamen office.
Since the emperor has been sick for many days, all affairs are decided by the cabinet. At this time, the cabinet ministers should be busy reviewing the official letters sent from various places in their duty rooms.
Of course, they may also be in a meeting, but Liu Jian and Peng Hua Yin Zhi will always have disputes because of disagreement. Without Tang Fan’s presence, Liu Jian and they will become more and more disadvantaged. Liu Mianhua and Liu Cifu still swing their positions on both sides.
This seems to be no different from other days, perhaps because the taste of the year has not completely dissipated, the joy of the palace people’s faces has not faded, even the clothes seem to be much brighter than usual, and the hair tie is brand new, The breath of spring is everywhere.
The cronies who helped him go to the supervisory office to check the news haven’t paid off yet, but somehow Wang Zhi always felt a little uneasy.
This anxiety comes from his years of indulgence and indulgence in Gong Wei.
As if something is about to happen.
Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
Wang Zhi looked up at the sky.
The sky is blue and boundless, the clouds are rolling, the winter cold gradually passes, and even the geese swarm begins to appear.
Although he was only in his twenties, it was only a few years since he returned to the palace, but he felt that his days of indifference were like those of his previous life.
Growing up in the palace from an early age, he was not used to it. Even though the palace here is magnificent and magnificent, in Wang Zhi’s eyes, it is not as pleasant as the scenery outside.
If he could choose, he would not be willing to come back.
Wang Zhizheng was walking along the long palace road, followed by two small yellow doors.
This is the direction to Renshou Palace. He is going to meet the Queen Mother in order to find someone to meet the Prince.
Because of the slight uneasiness in his heart, he quickened his pace, and the two small yellow doors behind him almost couldn’t keep up, and they were all sweaty and sweaty.
Suddenly, a few palace figures ran out from the front corner. They ran pale to Wang Zhi’s face, their feet were fast, and they watched Wang Zhi and other people passing by, but turned a blind eye to him.
Wang Zhi recognized them. These people are the court ladies and inner eunuchs of Zhaode Palace, who are responsible for serving Wan Guifei.
It can undoubtedly cause them to panic. There is no doubt that something big happened.
He grabbed a maiden who ran past him and asked, “What happened?”
The maid seemed to notice Wang Zhi just now, and she all seemed to be crying: “Wang, Father Wang …”
“What happened, why panic?” Wang Zhi was more impatient than her.
The companion of the court lady had already rushed far away, and she didn’t notice the fall. She gasped: “Concubine, the concubine has an accident …”
“What happened?” Wang Zhi was shocked in his heart, but his face remained silent.
The maid stammered: “Previously, your majesty had luckily received a maid from the Zhaode Palace. The lady found her furious and called the lady to scold her. The lady said furiously. The lady was furious and beat her personally. Suddenly he fainted … “
This is indeed something that Wan Guifei would do.
Wang Zhi stayed with her for several years, and no one knew more about what Wan Guifei was like than him.
Half of her tyrannical temperament was born, and the other half was spoiled by the emperor.
Although Wan Guifei no longer prohibits the harem woman from giving birth to Long Si, but if she is discovered, the other party will inevitably be blamed and blamed, not to mention that the court lady also talked to her face, with the personality of Wan Guifei, how can it not be a sudden Anger?
If Wan Guifei collapsed because of her anxiety, it would be easy to understand.
Previously, her body was not very good. She occasionally suffered from heart disease and sometimes dizziness, but she didn’t need to be bedridden like the emperor on weekdays, so it looked better.
If Tang Fan is here, he will definitely care about the fate of the court lady who angered the concubine, but Wang Zhi has seen too much of this kind of thing, so that after listening to it, he will not care at all. He is more concerned about Another thing.
Does the concubine really matter?
Thinking about this, he let go of the maiden and allowed her to ran to tears to chase her companion-she was of course not worrying about Concubine Wan, but worrying about her destiny.
Wang Zhi stopped and did not continue to move forward. He asked the small yellow door next to him to go directly to Zhaode Palace to find out the news, but he turned into the palace next to the pile of debris.
“You’re not curious why I brought you here?” Wang Zhi asked another small yellow door that was beside him.
The other party was named Wen Sheng, who had been in the palace for many years and was a few years younger than Wang Zhi.
Wen Sheng was silent for a moment: “Wang Gong always has a reason to do things.”
His reticence is actually awkward, but the most taboo and talkative to survive in the palace, what Wang frankly sees is his reticence and loyalty.
Wang Zhibai gave him a glance and was thinking of teaching something. The little Huangmen Wenyuan, who had been sent to Zhaode Palace to search for news, had returned.
After going back and forth, the other party’s face became very ugly, and it was almost comparable to those of Fang Cai.
Seeing his expression, Wang Zhixin sank, and immediately tossed the words of Wen Sheng out of Jiu Xiaoyun.
“how is it?”
“Concubine, concubine …” The other party’s tongue even knotted, and it took a long time to shun it. “Concubine!”
Wen Sheng’s face changed greatly, and he could not help but glance at Wang Zhi.
Looking at it from the past, Wen Sheng immediately admired it.
Because Wang Zhi not only did not change his face, but even his voice was calm: “Are you sure?”
In fact, after hearing the news, Wang Zhi had already expected and prepared for it, so he should not be too surprised.
Wen Yuan said quickly: “It should be correct! Now there is a cry in the Zhaode Palace. The small one dare not step forward, afraid of attracting eyes, and can only secretly find a few people to inquire about the news.
Wang Zhi: “Did the doctor pass?”
Wen Yuan: “Not yet, but it’s been so long …”
He didn’t go on, but the meaning was obvious. It has been so long. Even if the doctor rushed over, it is estimated that the rescue will not come back.
Wang Zhi listened to Shen Rushui without saying a word.
Wen Yuan and Wen Sheng glanced at each other, and did not dare to disturb his thoughts.
As far as Wang Zhi is concerned, Wan Guifei was shocked by the sudden death of the other party due to his knowledge and experience. If he was shocked, if there was no sadness at all, it would be false.
But sadness is fleeting, and what Wang Zhi has to face is more and more serious.
In the harem, the death of a concubine is very common, if she is not the queen, it will not make any waves.
Although Wan Guifei was not a queen, she was better than the queen. She did not directly intervene in the government, but the influence of Wandang was everywhere.
Although the Wandang Party has the power to oppose, they do not have the ability and conditions to rebel. Since the Ming Dynasty, there has been no rebellion by the Minister.
They were domineering from the connivance of the emperor.
The reason why Tianzi indulged them, in the final analysis, was to love the house and Wuwu, and look at Wan Guifei’s face.
Although Tatsuya indulged them, in the final analysis, Wan’s reliance only came from Wan Guifei.
Without Wan Guifei, their arrogant capital will no longer exist, just like a palace built in ice and snow, the sunrise will melt away.
It is conceivable that with the death of Wan Guifei, many people who were previously oppressed by Wandang and dared to speak out will take advantage of the opportunity. It will soon fall apart.
But Wandang people are not stupid. Who wants to give up the power already in their hands, and who wants to sit still?
They are bound to fight back, and even start to be strong first.
Once the news of Wan Guifei’s death spreads, it will surely cause internal and external unrest, and all parties are eager to move.
This day is about to change.
After hearing this news, Wang Zhi did not stay for a moment, and immediately went to the opposite direction of Zhaode Palace.
“Wang Gong, where are we going now?” Wen Yuan asked.
“Donggong!” Wang Zhi didn’t look back.
After Tang Pan was impeached before, Wang Zhi felt that it would be easier to fight the snake when he went to the East Palace, but now he has changed his mind.
Once Wan Guifei died, Wandang must be in a hurry. If the prince is abnormal, this is the best time to reveal the truth!
The East Palace didn’t even know the news of Wan Guifei’s death. The prince was too ill and hadn’t asked the master to come and give lectures for several days.
Because of the Lord’s illness, people in the small palace did not dare to laugh loudly, for fear of disturbing the prince who was sick.
The arrival of Wang Zhifeng and Huohuohuo caught everyone by surprise.
Cui Yong, who was next to the prince, heard the news and hurriedly greeted him: “Wang Gong is safe, are you …?”
Wang Zhi didn’t have time to talk to him, and immediately asked, “How about His Royal Highness?”
Xu was too aggressive, and Cui Yong did not dare to hide: “His Royal Highness is resting in it, I will give you first …”
Before he finished speaking, Wang Zhi had pushed him away and rushed in.
Cui Yong was so shocked that he saw Wang Diai strode to the Prince’s couch and said to the Prince who was lying in bed reading: “His Royal Highness, it’s rude!”
He grabbed his left wrist with a surprised look and looked down.
Through the bright light coming from outside the hall, Wang Zhi was able to clearly see the skin texture on the left palm of the crown prince, including the very pale trace on his little finger that could not be found without looking closely.
The scars are there!
Wang Zhi couldn’t say whether he should be relieved, or Tang Fan’s unreliable.
At this point, Cui Yong had robbed him, and he pushed away Wang Zhi, protecting the prince with a protective gesture: “Wang Zhi, how brave you are!”
Wang Zhi naturally did not let him push, when Cui Yong started, he took the initiative to avoid it.
“Your Highness, please forgive my outrageous sins.” Wang Zhigong said, before the prince asked, he told Tang Fan to ask him to check again.
The crown prince was not angry when he heard it, but it was funny: “Don’t Tangge suspect that I’ve been left out?”
Cui Yong’s expression also relaxed: “Duke Wang’s joke is too big this time. I follow my highness all day long. Is it true that my highness is not being noticed?”
Wang Zhi shook his head with a dignified expression: “I would rather be kidding, but Tang Ubiquitin was a person who can entrust important things. He would say that, there must be some evidence. If this happens, the consequences will be unimaginable. , So I would risk the death of redemption to find the truth. “
Having said that, his eyes were still fixed on the other party, and he didn’t seem to give up the idea of finding flaws.
The prince looked calm and did not show any panic because of Wang Zhi’s words. Instead, he proactively said: “In this case, Father Wang may wish to test me. You and I have known each other for several years, and there are some words that only the other party knows. It ’s definitely impossible to learn about them one by one. “
Wang Zhi also made sense when he heard it, and asked, “Wayne said something when he recommended his ministers to His Highness that day. Can His Highness remember?”
The prince thought for a while and said, “I can’t remember them one by one, but Huain’s intention is to say that your martial arts are strong, and you have a reason with Wan Guifei. If I accidentally offend Wan Guifei, I can ask Father Gong Turn around. “
Wang Zhi was undecided, and asked, “Wayne once evaluated Tang Fan’s humanity in one sentence. Can His Highness remember?”
This time the prince didn’t need to think about it, he opened his mouth and said: “Although he is a literary minister, he has the loyalty of the liver and the courage to stand on his shoulders, and he can be a good man for the world!”
Now Wang Zhi no longer doubts.
Because when Wyan said these words, only the prince was present with him. Even if someone pretended to be the prince and pretended to be the best, it would never be possible to learn these words one by one.
Wang Zhi let out a sigh of relief: “Thank you, Your Highness, for your recklessness, please forgive your sins.”
Prince Edward said: “You and Tangge Lao both worked hard for me. I am grateful and unsatisfactory. How can I blame? It’s just that I am lingering on the sick bed today and I just heard Cui Yong say that Tangge Lao was expelled home Things, can there be this? What can I do to help him, to plead with the emperor? “
Wang Zhi said: “I’m afraid that your majesty is not free to see you now.”
The prince froze: “Why?”
Wang Zhi said slowly: “Because just now, Wan Guifei was gone.”
The prince and Cui Yong both stunned.
Before they could react, some people from the East Palace came to report the death of Wan Guifei.
This incident came too suddenly, not to mention the prince, even Wan Wan Party, it is estimated that there is no psychological preparation.
In everyone’s assumption, if someone would die prematurely, that person must be the emperor who is always ill, not the Wan Guifei who looks healthier.
The reason why Wan Guifei tried to abandon the crown prince was that after the emperor had been a hundred years old, she could become a queen mother, and she had to wind and rain.
As a result, the emperor was still alive and well, and the prince was still alive and well. The man who always wanted to get everything in his hands took a step first.
The impermanence of the world is nothing more than this.
At this time, the palace must be an eventful event. Wang Zhi did not have time to care about the prince’s reaction. After confirming that the prince was not fake, he hurriedly left the East Palace and returned to Shang Baojian.
Xiao Huangmen, who went to the chief supervisor to investigate the news after his order, also came back. He told Wang Zhi a very important message: the car that the prince was taking to Chongzhen Wanshou Palace was indeed problematic.
The problem is that a four or five-foot square bottom groove is built under the car, enough to accommodate the next person curled up inside.
Wang Zhi, who originally thought Tang Fan was okay to find something, didn’t have time to let go of the big stone, and he was horrified by the news.
