Chapter 1426 King Jing is dead

Now the entire Ming Dynasty regards King Yu as the crown prince, but the crown prince is almost killed in the capital. Is your cabinet a useless meal?

In fact, whether it is Emperor Jiajing or the cabinet, they know very well that there is only one person who has the motivation to assassinate King Yu, that is King Jing.

Others won't do this!

The Japanese pirates were gone, Zhang Daoyuan was also dead, and the northern grasslands were strategically moved to the Western Regions. Now they have a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty, and Goryeo has been crippled and blocked by the border. If there is still a force that has the ability to assassinate, it is the White Lotus Sect.

However, if it were the dead soldiers of the White Lotus Sect, they should assassinate Luo Xin, not King Yu, right?

Only King Jing, as long as King Yu is killed, the throne of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will fall under his butt.

However, there is no evidence.

In the absence of evidence, who dares to touch King Jing?

Even Emperor Jiajing could not kill King Jing casually, and this was a royal scandal.

If there is no evidence, then find evidence.

It also prevents King Jing from rushing to jump over the wall and sending people to assassinate King Yu again, or taking risks and rebel.

Therefore, under the order of Emperor Jiajing, a large number of Dongchang and Jinyiwei went to King Jing's fiefdom to monitor King Jing. Moreover, it was publicly monitored, so he just surrounded King Jing's mansion.

The cabinet also issued an order, and the local government and army all took targeted surveillance of the King of Jing's Mansion. This simply gave people a sign of attacking King of Jing.

After a month like this, Xu Jie, the chief minister of the capital, was approving the memorial, but his hand shook and his eyes were staring at the memorial in his hand.

Seeing Xu Jie's strangeness, Zhang Juzheng, who was helping, couldn't help but ask softly:

"Mr., what's wrong?"

Xu Jie calmed down, closed the memorial, looked up at Zhang Juzhengdao:

"His Highness King Jing is dead!"

The expression on Zhang Juzheng's face changed. King Jing was just in his early thirties and died like this?

"Please come by Mr. Gao!" Xu Jie said softly.

"yes!"

Zhang Juzheng woke up from the shock and walked out quickly. Soon, Gao Gong pushed the door and walked in. Xu Jie handed the memorial to Gao Gong. Gao Gong took it and read it hurriedly, and was overjoyed. As long as King Jing died, King Yu's position as crown prince would be stable and he couldn't help asking:

"Is this true?"

Xu Jie looked at Gao Gong and said, "Who dares to joke about such a thing?"

"Oh!" Gao Gong's face turned red, he was obsessed with him. It seemed that the qi cultivation skills were still not good at home!

Xu Jie stood up and said, "Let's go and report to the Lord."

Gao Gong nodded and walked towards Yuxi Palace with Xu Jie.

Yuxi Palace.

Emperor Jiajing's body had not recovered yet and he even struggled to sit, so he lay in the bedroom. Xu Jie and Gao Gong came to Yuxi Palace, and Huang Jin came out and said:

"I was surprised by the two lords. His Majesty just fell asleep."

Xu Jie pondered for a moment, handed the memorial in his hand to Huang Jin and said, "Eunuch Huang, take a look."

Huang Jin opened the memorial and just glanced at it. His face changed and he hurriedly said, "Stop waiting, I'll report to Your Majesty now."

Xu Jie and Gao Gong stood outside silently. At this time, neither of them wanted to speak, but their hearts were ups and downs. As soon as King Jing died, King Yu's position was stable, and such a real struggle began. Before King Yu ascended the throne, gaining King Yu's trust was the top priority.

The two of them silently looked at their thoughts and compared their strength. What plans should they implement? Time passed without realizing it. A sound of footsteps came, and they saw Huang Jin hurried out and said:

"Two sirs, your Majesty invites you in."

Xu Jie glanced at Huang Jin and whispered: "How is Your Majesty's mood?"

"Your Majesty... said nothing, his face looked ugly." Huang Jin said softly.

Xu Jie nodded, took the lead, Gao Gong followed closely behind. The three of them walked towards the bedroom and entered the bedroom. The eyes of the two quickly swept over Jiajing who was lying on the bed. Sure enough, seeing Jiajing's gloomy face, he immediately bowed:

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body!"

After the two of them shouted, they knelt there and waited. But the bedroom was silent. The two of them waited for a while, secretly raised their heads to look at Emperor Jiajing on the bed, but saw Emperor Jiajing looking at them calmly. The two of them hurriedly lowered their eyes, their hearts were thumping. Emperor Jiajing was still cold, and they could not hear any emotional sounds:

"Give two cabinet masters a seat."

Huang Jin asked the two eunuchs to bring two brocade stools to Xu Jie and Gao Gong. The two eunuchs put down the brocade stools, lowered their heads and quietly retreated. After Xu Jie and Gao Gong thanked him, they sat on the brocade stool carefully. The two looked at each other quietly. Xu Jie, as the chief minister of the cabinet, spoke first:

"Your Majesty, the old minister was shocked to hear the bad news of Your Highness King Jing, and was deeply saddened. His Highness King Jing died young, which was a loss to the Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Jiajing looked at Xu Jie calmly, then looked at Gao Gong, who hurriedly said:

"My Majesty!"

Gao Gong only said this sentence. With his personality, he really couldn't say that King Jing was so sad like Xu Jie, that King Jing's death was a loss to the Ming Dynasty. In his opinion, King Jing should have died long ago, and his death was a blessing to the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Jiajing looked at Gao Gong calmly for a while, Gao Gong was wondering if he should praise King Jing for more. Like Xu Jie, did Emperor Jiajing get angry? After all, King Jing is the son of Emperor Jiajing. Now that the son is dead, he said without any pain, not to be a minister. At this moment, Emperor Jiajing said lightly:

"If you die, you will die, there is nothing sad."

Xu Jie and Gao Gong couldn't understand what Emperor Jiajing meant for a while, so Xu Jie pondered for a moment and said:

"Your Majesty, King Jing has always been famous and is filial to Your Majesty..."

Emperor Jiajing drooped his eyelids and said, "Are you blind or are you deliberately fooling me?"

"This..." Xu Jie's expression was stunned. He really couldn't understand what Emperor Jiajing was thinking at this time.

Emperor Jiajing glanced over Xu Jie and Gao Gong and said, "You two don't need to be hypocritical. Do you two know that the person who assassinated Luo Xin was King Jing? The person who assassinated King Yu's son was King Jing, and the person who assassinated King Yu now was King Jing?"

Xu Jie and Gao Gong were extremely shocked. Although there was no evidence for these things, Xu Jie and Gao Gong also believed in their hearts that it was King Jing's actions. Moreover, when King Jing sent someone to assassinate Luo Xin, he heard King Jing admit it with his own ears. However, knowing that it was one thing, but saying it was another. Now Emperor Jiajing said such a royal secret in person, what did he mean?

The two of them couldn't help but feel uneasy.
