"In February this year, I personally conquered the outer world and returned to the court with victorious victory. When I passed Lincheng, Shandong, the fairy concubine... she died of illness...!" Ming Chengzu punched the jade railing heavily, showing that she was extremely painful.

Yang Qiuchi was speechless. Although the emperor ruled the world and had the supreme imperial power of life and death, he was also very helpless in the face of life and death.

Yang Qiuchi wanted to persuade people to say something like "I am sad and follow the changes" when I die, but when I say something, I feel it's redundant. Chengzu of Ming Dynasty's literary and martial arts and a hero of his generation, how could he talk more about his mother-in-law's comfort?

In fact, Yang Qiuchi felt like a mirror in his heart. When Emperor Chengzu of Ming mentioned this matter to him at this moment, he was definitely not asking for sympathy, nor did he find someone to express his longing for the dead concubine. There must be another reason.

Sure enough, Ming Chengzu had a gloomy face and slowly continued: "Originally, I also thought that Concubine Xian died of a violent disease, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. I called the imperial physicians who treated Concubine Xian at that time to ask carefully, and felt that there was something wrong here. However, I don't know where the problem lies. That's why I transferred you back."

Now Yang Qiuchi understood that Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty issued an imperial edict to rush back to the Lantern Festival. First, Emperor Jianwen, the big rabbit, ran overseas, and the little rabbit was almost caught, so he asked the hunting dog to come back to capture other rabbits and foxes in the capital. Second, he wanted to solve the case of the savage concubine's death and found a convincing answer. If it was a murder, then the eight generations of the ancestors of the real murderer would probably be in trouble.

Now that I know the true content of the imperial edict, it is not a rabbit and a dog. A stone in Yang Qiuchi's heart was completely lost. The unknown imperial edict made his family nervous. It was really funny to think about it.

Ming Chengzu turned around and stared at Yang Qiuchi: "Yang Aiqing, the first case I have handed you over is to find out the truth about the death of the Virtuous Concubine for me! No matter who I find, I must investigate it to the end and give me a clear explanation!"

Yang Qiuchi lifted his robe and kowtowed: "I obey the order, I will find out the truth about this case. Long live a satisfactory explanation."

Ming Chengzu nodded: "Let's flat."

"Long live thanks!" Yang Qiuchi stood up, thought for a while, and said again: "Long live, if you want to find out the cause of the death of Concubine Xian, I may need to open a coffin and examine the autopsy. Please consider it."

Ming Chengzu pondered slightly and nodded: "I am sure. You can do whatever you need to investigate the case. If there is any situation, you can report it directly to me. I will allow you to enter the palace at any time."

"Yes, I received the order." Yang Qiuchi bowed, "Can the emperor tell me the scene of the death of the concubine Xian? I will see if there are any clues."

"Well," Ming Chengzu thought for a while. "On the afternoon of July 13th, the team arrived in Lincheng, Shandong. The weather was very hot. I and Concubine Xian had not fallen asleep at the third update. Suddenly, an emergency military memorial was reported. I went to the study to review the memorial. Until dawn the next day, the palace maid came to report that Concubine Xian was seriously ill. I rushed there and saw that Concubine Xian was... gone." His words were choked.

Recalling the tragic death of a lover is always painful. Yang Qiuchi knew this well and hurriedly grabbed the key points and asked: "Emperor, I need to know the death of the Virtuous Concubine at that time and the people present at that time."

"Concubine Xian died suddenly. Before this, Concubine Xian did not have any symptoms of illness..." Ming Chengzu was really unwilling to recall the scene at that time, so he said: "The two imperial physicians Gaode and Ai Heng who were present to treat Concubine Xian at that time were Gaode and Ai Heng who went to war with me. For the specific situation, you ask the female official in the palace, Wang Sicai, and I ordered her to go all the way with Concubine Quan. She knew some of the situations. The first person who discovered that Concubine Xian died of illness was Concubine Xiandi's personal maid Lian'er. In other cases, you can find Jin Liang, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal of the accompanying Concubine Sili.

There were twenty-four internal affairs offices in the Ming Dynasty, including twelve supervisors, four supervisors, and eight bureaus, with a total of twenty-four supervisors. During the Ming Dynasty, the Sili Supervisor was far less powerful than later. It was just a management institution serving the emperor's daily life. The leader of the Sili Supervisor was called the "Ephesians in the Seals".

"I understand." After hearing the short words of Emperor Chengzu of Ming, a rough idea of ​​cracking was formed in Yang Qiuchi's mind.

"Okay, go and enjoy the lanterns!" Ming Chengzu walked back slowly with his hands on his back. Yang Qiuchi was still following the side.

With the emperor as the biggest backstage, this case will be convenient to investigate. Yang Qiuchi thought that it should not be difficult to investigate the cause of death. Putting aside the case of Jianwen’s remnants, this case is the first case handed over to him by the emperor, and it must be handled properly. It will also be of great benefit to his future.

Yang Qiuchi followed Ming Chengzu to the lantern and banquet. The banquet was set up in a plum blossom forest. Tens of millions of plum blossoms competed for beauty and bloomed. Under the plum trees, a sumptuous banquet was set up. Several screens were blocked at the wind at the banquet. Around the banquet, several large pots of burning red charcoal were burned.

The plum trees were covered with lanterns of various colors. At this moment, it was already late and the lanterns were lit, just like plum blossom fairies carrying colorful lanterns dancing around.

There was an open space in front of the banquet, with two rows of musicians sitting in the hatchback, filled with various musical instruments of sheng, qin and pi.

At the banquet, Yang's mother and Feng Xiaoxue were sitting in Miao costumes, sitting aside, talking to Yang's mother. Feng Xiaoxue looked here from time to time, looking both detained and worried. There were five other concubines at the banquet, all wearing phoenix crowns and robes of inner-life women, and were fat and thin, and beautiful.

Seeing Yang Qiuchi coming with Ming Chengzu, Feng Xiaoxue felt relieved and almost wanted to call her husband. But when she saw Ming Chengzu in front of her, she remembered what the Ministry of Rites said, "Long Live, you must not make noises in front of you, so she quickly shut up and stood up and kneeled to welcome the sage. Yang's mother and others and the concubines also hurriedly got up and knelt down.

Ming Chengzu walked to the table and sat down: "Let's flat!"

Everyone stood up and took their seats.

Ming Chengzu said: "Today is the Lantern Festival, let's enjoy the lanterns together, without being restricted." Then he made a brief introduction. The concubine Wang sitting next to Ming Chengzu was the concubine.

After the death of Empress Xu, Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty did not establish an empress again. After the Xian Concubine Quan entered the palace, Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty loved all his favors and asked the Xian Concubine to take charge of the harem, which was equivalent to the position of the empress. However, the Xian Concubine was not blessed and only two years after entering the palace, the fragrance was burned.

After that, Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty handed over the power of the harem to the imperial concubine Wang. Wang was the daughter of King Zhongwu, who was posthumously named He Jian, and was from Suzhou.

The other few people were all Korean concubines who entered the palace with the concubine Quan of Xian, namely Shun Concubine Ren, Zhaoyi Li, Jieyu Lu, and the beauty Lu. Because they entered the palace with the concubine Quan of Xian, love the house and the lanterns, the Emperor Chengzu of Ming specially called the five of them, but did not call them other concubines.

At this time, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded melodiously.

Yang Qiuchi and others raised their glasses to toast Ming Chengzu and told the emperor to live a long life, then they began to raise their glasses and drink.

After putting down the stone in my heart, the wine was drunk happily. Thinking of Liu Ruobing and Song Yuner outside, I didn’t know the situation, so I must be anxious. Seeing this, the banquet might not be over for a while.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Yang Qiuchi became more courageous and reported to Ming Chengzu: "Your Majesty, I have a heartless request, I don't know whether to say it or not." I was amused in my heart, and I also learned to speak in a literary way.

Ming Chengzu said: "Yang Aiqing says anything if you have anything to say. I have already said it, so there is no need to be restrained."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yang Qiuchi hesitated for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage and said, "Weichen's two concubines have also come with us. Weichen wants to..."

"I understand." Ming Chengzu waved his hand and turned to Eunuch Li beside him and said, "Old Li, go and bring Yang Aiqing's two concubines."

Eunuch Li responded and walked in a step with the whisk in his arms.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yang Qiuchi hurriedly bowed.

Ming Chengzu smiled: "Yang Aiqing, I can't tell you, you are quite passionate." He sighed slightly, "Your beauty is by your side, but I and the Virtuous Concubine... are already different paths... Alas!"

Before the Korean concubines paid tribute, they all conducted Chinese training in a concentrated manner. Moreover, during the Ming Dynasty, Chinese was popular in Korea and were proud to be able to speak fluent Chinese. Therefore, the Chinese language of these concubines was pretty good. After hearing the sadness of the virtuous concubine Quan, the five of them left their hometown together and came to the Ming Dynasty palace. They were like sisters. When they heard this, they kept covering their sleeves and burst into tears.

Concubine Wang also shed tears, picked up the glass of wine in front of Ming Chengzu, and slowly sprinkled it on the grass: "This glass of wine was given to Concubine Xian by the Lord. I hope that my sister will be safe and happy in the underworld..."

Ming Chengzu nodded and looked at Concubine Wang with relief.

Concubine Wang wiped away the tears, poured another glass of wine for Ming Chengzu, picked it up, smiled sweetly, like the spring breeze blowing on the willows: "Long live the emperor, I am happy now, we don't think about those sad things anymore. Come on, I wish you a cup."

Yunlu said: "Yes, Father, we don't want these things anymore. Yunlu also respects his father with a cup."

The other concubines also held back their tears and picked up their wine glasses.

Ming Chengzu took the wine glass and said, "Okay, I won't say it anymore. I won't say it anymore." He drank it all. Everyone drank the wine.

This is the first time Yang Qiuchi has seen the Korean Meiji. As expected, she is as gentle as water. Her sweet smile makes people feel like spring breeze. Especially the beauty sitting at the last place, Lu Shi, with a melon-shaped face, her eyebrows and eyes, and her eyes seem to be able to speak, which is extremely soft and charming.
