Chapter 9: Inadvertent clues, clear the clouds
As soon as the empress dowager returned to the palace, she rushed to summon the imperial physician, which immediately caused speculation among the concubines in the harem.
The imperial physician examined Yang Shuang's body and reported to Empress Dowager Mingde: "Reported to the Empress Dowager, His Highness the Crown Prince was exhausted and he was not thinking about food and food, so he wasted his body. As long as he had a stable diet and took some peaceful tonics, he would be cured."
"Then go and boil the medicine quickly!" The empress dowager was relieved.
The imperial physician stepped down, and Yang Shuang said with a look of guilt, "I worry my grandmother."
The Empress Dowager sighed: "Hey, the Ai family saw you growing up and knew your character. Naturally, they didn't believe that you would do such a miserable thing. But what Your Majesty saw with his own eyes, and the evidence was confirmed by the Lord Wan for his death!"
"Also, why do you still form cliques for personal gain, even harm loyal and kind, and raise dead soldiers to assassinate the imperial officials?"
"Now Your Majesty is angry and punishes multiple crimes, not only to depose your position as crown prince, but may even demote you to a commoner! Over the years, how many wrong things have you done without hiding the emperor and the Ai family!"
In the end, the Empress Dowager regrets that she is not strong enough.
Yang Shuang coughed and almost choked.
Based on Yang Shuang's honest character before, he formed a gang and harmed the loyal and kind! Slandering is definitely a slander! A prince who is not slandered is not a qualified prince.
"Grandmother of the Emperor, why did you say this?" Yang Shuang pretended to be puzzled.
The Queen Mother pointed to the memorial on the table and said, "You can read it yourself."
Yang Shuang read a few books, and they were all written by the Censors. She said it was a scattered thing, but she was all about catching the wind and shadows. As long as she took out everything and studied it carefully, she would find that there was no reliable evidence.
However, people took advantage of your illness to kill you. When the emperor saw such an essay, he naturally became even more angry and did not identify the authenticity at all.
When you are fine, entertaining important civil and military officials is to have fun with them. When you have something to do, you will take it out and talk about it, which is to form a clique for personal gain.
This is the magic of words.
And when Yang Shuang looked through all the memorials, she suddenly discovered something unexpected.
There are a total of sixteen memorials, from sixteen officials.
Among these sixteen officials, eleven of them had some relationship with one prince, that is, King Qin Yang Jun.
Yang Shuang has six good brothers, King Yang Yong, King Yang Guang, King Yang Jun, King Qin, Yang Xiu, King Yue, Yang Liang, King Han, and Yang Chao, King Wei.
King Yang Jun of Qin was born by Concubine Yue. Since the death of the queen, Concubine Yue has temporarily taken care of the harem affairs and has been promoted to the position of Imperial Concubine. Concubine Yue came from the Wang family, and the Wang family of Langya was a large clan, so the Wang family has been building momentum, hoping to make Concubine Yue go further and become the mother of a country.
A mother is noble by her son. If Yang Jun becomes the crown prince, it will be a win-win situation, so Yang Jun can't wait to make herself deposed.
In other words, King Qin Yang Jun is the one who wants to defeat himself the most!
"King of Qin, King of Qin..."
Yang Jun's appearance appeared in Yang Shuang's mind, and then extended his network of relationships. This extension didn't matter, and she suddenly discovered an important clue.
Let Yang Shuang, who was puzzled, immediately sort out some doubts.
"Crown Prince, to be honest, have you offended Guru Wan? If you do it and take the initiative to admit your mistake to Your Majesty, the Ai family will do their best to protect you!" asked the Empress Dowager.
Yang Shuang came back to her senses and looked at Empress Dowager Mingde with a kind and kind look.
The old lady can also deceive others. Yang Shuang is not stupid. Once she admits that, even if the empress dowager loves her, she will not help her. Although she is her grandmother, she is also the empress dowager of the Sui Dynasty.
So Yang Shuang's tone was firm: "The grandson is innocent. If the emperor and grandmother still believe in the grandson, she will do her grandson a little favor and let Your Majesty not issue an order to depose it for the time being. It will only take five or six days. After five or six days, if the situation remains the same, the grandson will be willing to be punished."
Empress Dowager Mingde was stunned and looked surprised.
She knew the former "Yang Shuang". She was polite and sensible, and had a good temper. She was honest and honest, but she lacked the responsibility to do big things and was not a qualified candidate for the prince.
But at this time, Yang Shuang was calm and calm and determined, which made her look at her with admiration.
The Empress Dowager nodded, feeling a little relieved: "It seems that you have grown a lot after this. OK! The Ai family will help you! Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, the Ai family will buy you six days. But you also understand your father's temper. If you can't find evidence to prove your innocence, it will be difficult to convince your father."
Yang Shuang stood up and bowed and said, "Grandson thanked the emperor and grandmother."
Then Yang Shuang said goodbye and returned to the East Palace.
Just after walking out of Shoukang Palace, he actually met King Yang Jun of Qin.
Yang Jun was quite surprised when he saw Yang Shuang.
"The King of Qin is really filial. I am so anxious to pay my respects to the emperor's grandmother!" Yang Shuang said with a smile.
Yang Jun bowed and said, although he was reluctant, Yang Shuang was the crown prince one day, so he had to bow honestly: "Gourmet to the crown prince! How did the crown prince come out? These days in prison, the crown prince has looked much haggard. You must take care of yourself."
Yang Shuang reached out and patted Yang Jun on the arm, and replied, "Thank you for your concern, I will never have any trouble."
Speaking of this, Yang Shuang leaned slightly, pulled the two closer together, and said casually: "I can prove that I am innocent, haha..."
When Yang Jun heard this, his pupils shrank.
Then he watched Yang Shuang leave with a flash of ease, while he was stunned, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yang Shuang returned to the East Palace and immediately entered the study room of the East Palace to search for information.
After searching for a long time, he found a handwritten list of officials who recorded the various military governors in each year.
As my fingers streaked across the list, a name was quickly locked.
"From the third to eighth years of Kaiyuan, Wang Jingjiang was appointed as the governor of Pinglu."
Bang!
After suddenly closing the list, Yang Shuang showed surprise on her face: "Fortunately, I have a great memory and will not forget what I have seen, so it makes sense."
"But this is not enough. Is there any clues in Han Qinhu? Wei Zhongxian has been asked to inform Han Qinhu, and he will definitely come tonight."
Since the accident happened, Yang Shuang could not guess who wanted to harm her. Guan Guiren was just a chess piece. He went to Qingzhou to investigate Guan Guiren, in order to find out who was behind the scenes.
And now, an inadvertent clue made Yang Shuang clear away the clouds.
Next is waiting.
After midnight, Yang Shuang, who was sleepy, noticed someone entering the house and stood up to see that it was Han Qinhu.
"Your Highness, the humble position is here." Han Qinhu said respectfully.
Yang Shuang asked quickly: "I asked you to investigate Wang Cang, are there any clues?"
Han Qinhu nodded and said, "Bizhi has been following Wang Cang these days. Yesterday, he found out that he contacted a strange man. Later, he followed the man and found that the other party was the manager of Wang Jingjiang's mansion."
"Wang Cang's ancestors were branches of the Wang family of Langya, but their bloodlines were very distant. On the surface, Wang Cang and Wang Jingjiang had no connection, but they were of the same clan of the Wang family. Your Highness, could Wang Jingjiang be the one behind the scenes?"
After hearing this, Yang Shuang clapped her high-high with joy.
"As Gu expected, Wang Cang colluded with Cao Jin and attempted to poison Gu, which was Wang Jingjiang's plan. But Wang Jingjiang was just one of the masterminds, and there was someone behind him. This person was no one else, but my good brother, King Qin Yang Jun!" Yang Shuang sneered.
Han Qinhu was shocked and said, "Is it the King of Qin?"
Wang Jingjiang came from the Wang family and was cousin and sister to King Yang Jun of Qin. Now that he has served as the Minister of War, he naturally has to help his nephew take the position of crown prince, so he has to depose Yang Shuang first.
From the third to eighth years of Kaiyuan, Wang Jingjiang served as the governor of Pinglu, and the adoptive father of Guan Guiren Ding Wanquan was his general, so when Ding Wanquan adopted a Khitan baby girl, Wang Jingjiang was very likely to know.
Several years later, when Wang Jingjiang suddenly discovered that the nobleman Guan, who was favored by the emperor, was a Khitan baby girl, he felt that he could use it.
Once the news that Guan Guiren was a Khitan was revealed, the Ding family would be a serious crime to deceive the emperor and be punished by the three clans. Wang Jingjiang could use the lives of the Ding family to threaten Guan Guiren, allowing her to frame Yang Shuang with her innocence and life.
Guiren Wan is a person who is grateful and filial to repay kindness and naturally will not refuse, so she was forced to frame Yang Shuang.
Of course, these are Yang Shuang's speculations, but when all doubts become closed loops, it means that the speculation is true!
"Your Highness, if King Qin and Wang Jingjiang are the masterminds, how should we expose this matter?" Han Qinhu couldn't help asking.
Yang Shuang immediately had an idea, but he said, "Don't worry, rescue your family first and kidnap your family's gangsters must have been sent by Wang Jingjiang."
