"Your Majesty, the White Lotus Rebel is in the Eastern Palace and becomes His Highness's companion."

Xiao Jing was panting, not caring that Emperor Hongzhi was resting. After entering the Ganqing Palace, he came straight to the imperial bed.

No one can control His Highness the Crown Prince, except His Majesty.

Although the factory guards had been sent to the East Palace to arrest the companion named Wang Ziran.

But if the prince blocks it, it will be difficult to deal with.

So, he came to Ganqing Palace to report.

Emperor Hongzhi slept very lightly, and any abnormal noise would wake him up.

His body was frightened suddenly, and he sat up in a flash in his dream, his eyes rolled slightly, and he asked one after another: "Hidden in the East Palace? Did the prince hide it himself?"

Xiao Jing told the matter without missing a trace.

He was worried about this face,

All eunuchs in the palace are regulated by Sili.

As the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Silijian, the thief was sent to the Eastern Palace without knowing it.

Not to mention, he is also the factory owner of the East Factory, and his Majesty's eyes and ears.

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath,

Although the prince is not involved in the matter, even if he is not involved in the matter, he cannot bring his murdered enemy to the palace!

This is not stupid, this is a brain disease!

Today I will ask Wang Ji to give Zhu Houzhao this evil son, and look at his mind.

"It's also good to bring it back to the palace. It can find out the whereabouts of the remaining Bailian Party. The court has cleared it many times, but it will not be completely destroyed after all."

After all, Zhu Houzhao was born by me, so she can't be too belittled in front of outsiders.

Emperor Hongzhi had the idea of ​​thoroughly investigating the White Lotus Sect.

He lifted up his head and stood up, put on his crown robe, and walked quickly towards the East Palace.

"Summon the Cabinet and the Nine Ministers."

The little eunuch hurriedly went to report, notified the various yamen in the palace, and summoned the nine ministers to the East Palace.

Cabinet courtyard,

Going to the Eastern Palace must be related to the prince. Your Majesty will always avoid outsiders when he teaches the prince a lesson.

Liu Jianfu asked: "Why did you call the Nine Ministers this time to teach the prince a lesson?"

Little eunuch: "Your Highness has turned the remnants of Bai Lian into eunuch."

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang suddenly realized.

Your Majesty asked them to go, and he must have wanted the officials to work together to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of Bailian.

The white lotus was like a fish bone, choked on the throat of the court. If it didn't pull it out, it would feel uncomfortable all over. But there was no definite news and there was no way to start clearing it.

Now, it is a good thing for Bai Lian to assassinate the prince.

"Go away quickly, I'll go to the East Palace first."

Yan Chengjin received the summons from Emperor Hongzhi and walked towards the East Palace with steady steps.

Wang Shouren guessed well, but never expected that Zhu Houzhao would dare to make a eunuch and stay by his side.

When he arrived at the Eastern Palace, Emperor Hongzhi was already sitting on the imperial throne in the main hall.

The six ministers stood on both sides, and three other cabinet members did not come.

The Jinyiwei attacked him from left to right and captured an eunuch.

The eunuch's throat had a knot, and it was obviously not castrated since childhood.

Zhu Houzhao knelt at the feet of Emperor Hongzhi, and his clothes were rotten, like whip marks.

Obviously, His Majesty has already exercised.

"Have the cabinet not arrived yet?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the road of the golden bricks is slippery, and Mr. Liu is old and has walked a little slower." Xiao Jing reported in a low voice.

"It's okay, it's not too late to wait for Mr. Liu to come."

All the officials remained silent and did not dare to plead for Zhu Houzhao.

It has been more than ten days since the prince was attacked.

Li Dongyang and the other two came late, walked into the main hall, saluted Emperor Hongzhi, and stood aside.

Only Bai Lian can be asked to interrogate himself.

From the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the white lotus caused headaches for all emperors of the dynasty, just like cell division, with many branches, which continued until the Qing Dynasty.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, every emperor hated Bai Lian very much.

The most cruel one is Zhu Di, who killed many people in Shandong in order to clear the attack.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't care about teaching Zhu Houzhao a lesson.

He looked at Wang Ziran with a bright look: "Tell me where the thief leader is, and you can forgive your life."

When Wang Ziran saw that he was today and there were still all officials, he began to cry.

He was the only one in his family. Before he entered Beijing, he never thought of becoming a eunuch.

Before becoming the White Lotus Sect, he has been "fishing" in Poyang Lake.

"The lotus of the villain was just carved. Before entering Beijing, he was a lone lake thief. He had never seen the head of the white lotus thief."

White Lotus is very famous in the market and many people know it.

Of course, Wang Ziran also knew.

Qin Hong stood up and looked at the lotus in Wang Ziran's hand: "Your Majesty, it was not long before the scab was carved with a sharp weapon.

However, the number of lotus petals is wrong. The lotus of the white lotus should be three petals and looks like a flame."

When he was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi in Guangdong, he had seen people arresting white lotus.

All the officials had different expressions.

I'm afraid this person has been fooled, and he doesn't even know that he is a fake white lotus.

If it is fake, it means that there is someone else who wants to murder the prince.

Emperor Hongzhi began to worry.

"Who sent you?"

"The villain really doesn't know. The man said he would give him five thousand taels, and the villain took it."

The reason why Wang Ziran dared to take over was because after making a fortune, he could go out to sea to be a pirate and was not afraid of the court's pursuit.

Yan Chengjin kept his head down.

Zhu Houzhao beat up King Ning in Liangxiang. Could it be that King Ning wants to take revenge?

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin: "This matter will be investigated by the Censorate for me."

"I dare not..." Yan Chengjin thought carefully and said three words.

Li Dongyang and others showed contempt, and you were indeed shirked again.

Emperor Hongzhi had a stern face: "But is there any difficulties?"

"I'm not hiding this from Your Majesty. Since Wang Shouren told me that Your Highness brought the thief into the palace, I have been investigating, but no trace was found."

It is fake if there is no trace, but it is not convenient to thoroughly investigate it.

It was done by King Ning.

This is just his guess and there is no definite evidence.

Wang Ziran was deceived several times and couldn't ask anything.

Appointing a prince is different from impeaching a minister. If appointing a prince fails to rebel, it means slandering the royal family and beheading him.

He didn't have enough evidence at all, so he defeated King Ning.

After accepting this case, you will have to give your Majesty an explanation.

Emperor Hongzhi's tone was unquestionable: "Then you will investigate, and I will ask the factory guards to assist you."

Investigating Bailian is not something that can be done in one yamen.

When encountering major cases, the three courts and courts are usually jointly investigated and dealt with.

Emperor Hongzhi knew the inspection ability of Yan Chengjin when he saw Yan Chengjin's bulletin.

This guy was not sure enough to agree.

Yan Chengjin had a dark face. Since he asked the three yamen to join forces, he received the order.
