This memorial was presented by Meng Changde, asking the Emperor to favor his youngest brother and bestowed him a title.
The youngest brother he was referring to was naturally the Ninth Prince, Chu Jue.
A child who has not yet reached the age of two, why was he in such a hurry to ask for a title?
It seems that the title was fake, but the momentum was real!
Was he so afraid that civil and military officials will forget that the late emperor still has the youngest son?
The Meng family was no longer the Meng family in his memory.
Does Meng Nan know about this?
The fog that had gathered in front of his eyes was lifted layer by layer, and the truth hidden behind the fog revealed a clear outline little by little.
It turned out that the murderer who killed the Supreme Emperor, the mastermind behind the murder, the assassin who assassinated Imperial Doctor Xu, and the assassins who ambushed Zhou Awu, the people who manipulated these were the people around him.
Chu Yan looked up, put down the memorial in his hand, and only made a soft sound.
It could be heard in the ears of the two kneeling, but it pierced through their ears like a lightning strike.
“Speak!”
Deputy Chief Zhang’s eyes fell on Li Dao. Li Dao lowered his head, his face was ashen, and his eyes were only fixed on the ground in front of him as if he couldn’t see anything.
Deputy Chief Zhang failed to get any information from Li Dao and was very flustered. He didn’t know how to speak and didn’t know how much the Emperor knew.
“What? You need the Imperial Dragon Guard to pry your mouth before you are willing to open your mouth?” Chu Yan’s voice was light, but the majesty and indifference of the Imperial Family were like a cold blade, which was pressed against Deputy Chief Zhang’s neck over and over again.
Deputy Chief Zhang immediately kowtowed and said: “Your Majesty, this old slave has been in the palace for 25 years. His loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth. I beg His Majesty to investigate clearly.”
“Loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth? Whose heart are you loyal to? Is it our Chu family or their Meng family?”
Deputy Chief Zhang’s tall figure immediately froze seven points, his complexion was pale, and he was holding a trace of luck at first, but now it seems that it was over, it was all over.
“Emperor, Your Majesty, I don’t know what are you talking about, this old slave—”
Chu Yan was not in the mood to listen to his arguments. Looking at his appearance, he could guess all kinds of things. What else was there to argue about?
“Come in!”
Fu Zheng walked in.
“Take them down and interrogate well.”
Fu Zheng was full of anger and had nowhere to spread it, which was good, and it was delivered to his door.
Looking at Fu Zheng’s fierce eyes, Deputy Chief Zhang was almost paralyzed with fright. He felt aggrieved in his heart because he could imagine his future as soon as he leaves this place.
Li Dao was usually very clever, and he never makes mistakes in his work. Who would have thought that he would be caught on the first day he came to the Imperial Study Room today, and he would suffer as well?
This time, his life was over!
In less than an hour, Fu Zheng came back.
“Did they confess?” Chu Yan asked.
Fu Zheng looked excited: “Yes, all of them confessed.”
Fu Zheng sent a piece of confession paper with bloody fingerprints in front of Chu Yan. It clearly stated that Deputy Chief Zhang was a member of the Meng family when he entered the palace in the 25th year. His family members all work under the Meng Family. It can be said that the lives of all his family members were in the hands of Meng Changde.
When the Meng family pointed east, he dared not go to the west.
The Meng family asked him to poison the Emperor’s bowl, so he didn’t hesitate at all.
For Deputy Chief Zhang, Meng Changling and Meng Changde were his masters.
Li Dao was his single-handedly trained subordinate. There were many such subordinates in the palace, who were placed in various palaces.
Only in the Imperial Study Room, the Meng Family has no subordinates, so Meng Changling purposely mentioned Eunuch Hai in front of him to let the Meng family’s eyeliner enter.
