Chapter 53 Elimination
Princess Yongchang has never done anything good. Her domineering reputation spread throughout the capital when she was young, but everyone knows that the late emperor loves her as much as his life, so no one can control her.
When Emperor Jiaping ascended the throne, Emperor Jiaping also wanted to be a good person. Although he was not close to Princess Yongchang, he also gave her all the honor he deserved.
So she ran wildly on the road to death.
After she got married, she became arrogant. Although she valued the prince-consort, she looked down on the family of Qi and even asked the husband and aunt to kneel down every time, let alone the rest of the tribe.
Later, Prince Qi couldn't survive with her and took a concubine. Who knew that Princess Yongchang actually beat the concubine to death.
This incident was also noisy at the time.
Later, many censors wrote to impeach Princess Yongchang too domineering and vain their lives.
But the concubine itself is a slave, and Princess Yongchang deliberately talks about the escaped slave and accuses the concubine of being the escaped slave in the mansion, so the matter is left unresolved.
Since then, Prince Qi has had a more terrible quarrel with Princess Yongchang.
The relationship between Princess Yongchang and Princess Qi has been described as being in harmony with each other over the years. It is simply disgusting to see each other. Two years ago, there was a quarrel between the incident involving Qi Huanji at the Wei family. Princess Yongchang also stabbed Princess Qi with scissors.
Everyone thought that Princess Yongchang had no feelings for Prince Qi.
After all, if there is feelings, how could he teach a father-killing son?
But I really didn’t expect that Princess Yongchang actually committed suicide because Prince Qi died!
Everyone was talking about this.
Of course, there is another thing that is more worthy of discussion - Princess Yongchang left a suicide note before her death.
This suicide note was seen by many eunuchs and historians of the Qi family and Princess's Mansion before the people from the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple were present, and the content could not be kept confidential.
Everyone soon knew that Princess Yongchang accused the Crown Princess Zhu Yuan of being afraid of Qi Huanji's concubine in the suicide note because she almost became a concubine for Qi Huanji, and was afraid that the Qi Huanji would spread the scandal, so she deliberately framed Qi Huanji.
She said that the reason why Qi Huanji killed his father was that he was framed by Zhu Yuan.
She showed her ambitions by her death and asked the court to give her an explanation.
The court was full of controversy.
The new head of the Eastern Palace almost turned gray with worries. He touched his beard and followed Chu Tingchuan angrily: "Your Highness! The saints say that you should cultivate yourself, manage your family, govern the country and pacify the world. You have to take care of your family first! Otherwise, there will be endless disasters!"
He was so worried!
People say that the good man is helping the good man, and His Highness is already a very wise man, otherwise he would not have been able to quell the rebellion of the Zhejiang Governor General at a young age.
He came to the Eastern Palace to be the chief minister, and he was also looking for the unlimited future.
But who knows that there is an uneasy princess in the East Palace? 1
How long has it been since the marriage been? Look at how many troubles she has caused?!
Yes, Princess Yongchang is arrogant and confused, but why should you fight against her head with such a person? Look, something is wrong now, right? The main thing is that something is wrong, and it will not end up falling on Your Highness!
Seeing that he was so anxious, Chu Tingchuan paused slightly and turned to look at him: "The Changshi's words are reasonable, so please rest assured. The Crown Princess is broad-minded and very sensible. She will not really think that she has done something wrong because of this incident. It was just a frame-up by a villain."
Ying Changshi suddenly felt like a thorn in his throat.
That's not what he meant!
He clearly wanted Zhu Yuan to be more at ease and not cause so many troubles!
He wanted to say something else, but Li Rong, the Minister of Justice, had already brought the Minister of Justice Zhou Yuan'an, so he had to stop talking and salute Lord Li and Lord Zhou.
Lord Li also greeted Chu Tingchuan.
Chu Tingchuan reached out and shouted, "Have you confirmed the handwriting?"
Lord Li nodded and said seriously: "The Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College mastered the handwritten priests have compared the handwritten handwritten by the former eldest princess, and it can be confirmed that it was written by the eldest princess."
Ying Changshi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The suicide note is true, and there will be waves even without wind.
Chu Tingchuan nodded, still his face was normal, and walked in front first and asked Lord Li: "Have the chief eunuchs and maids who served on the day the eldest princess committed suicide? Have you ever been interrogated?"
This matter involves the eldest princess. Lord Li personally participated in the trial, of course he had to do his best. He knew all the cases well and nodded and said, "They have been arrested and interrogated. The eldest princess deliberately used the excuse to send them away that day, and was not allowed to stay and serve them. She burned charcoal in the house to commit suicide."
Burn charcoal.
Chu Tingchuan nodded: "It is beyond doubt that committing suicide is beyond doubt, so we will have to re-examine Qi Huanji."
Since he killed the prince-consort of Qi, Qi Huanji has been detained in the Ministry of Justice. Originally, Dali Temple wanted to get someone over, but was rejected by the Ministry of Justice.
Chu Tingchuan said he wanted to be tried, and the person was quickly pulled out of the prison.
After being detained in the prison of the Ministry of Justice for several days, Qi Huanji was depressed and haggard, with a beard that was unshaven and looked thin and thin.
Ying Changshi couldn't help frowning when he looked up.----This man was born as an aristocratic person, but he was so embarrassed and even killed his father and mother. It was a disaster in the world.
The yamen runner knelt down while suppressing Qi Huanji. Chu Tingkawa looked at him for a while and asked him in a deep voice: "Do you still recognize me?"
His voice was loud and powerful, and Qi Huanji was shocked when he heard it. He looked up and saw his face clearly, then shook his body and stopped talking.
Lord Li also told Chu Tingchuan: "I have never used torture before. He refused to take action or speak. However, that day, many servants and officials in the mansion watched him commit the crime with their own eyes. The evidence and confession can be confirmed by each other, so he did not suffer much."
Chu Tingchuan looked at him for a long time and asked again in a deep voice: "Why did you kill someone?"
Qi Huanji gritted his teeth, and didn't know whether they were afraid or what. He stared at Chu Tingchuan and suddenly smiled maliciously: "I didn't kill anyone! I was killed by someone! I was drugged by someone! That's why I lost my mind! Someone hurt me!"
Here comes!
Lord Li and Lord Zhou looked at each other, and their spirits became even more concentrated.
This rumor involves the Crown Princess.
if.....
Chu Tingchuan said with anger and asked lightly: "You said someone had given you medicine, why didn't you speak before?"
Qi Huanji's eyes were red and she glared at Chu Tingchuan and laughed twice: "I didn't dare to say it before, I'm afraid that I'll die faster if I say it! Now my cousin comes to ask me in person, I can say it..."
