Chapter 23 Several conspiracy theories about Zhu Biao’s death!
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao listened carefully when they heard the conspiracy theory. They were angry that someone dared to use conspiracy theories on Zhu Biao.
If this argument is confirmed, it is estimated that the person who conspired is not just as simple as Xiao Xiaole of the Nine Clans, but also the graves of the eighteen generations of ancestors will probably be dug up.
So Zhu Biao couldn't believe such a conclusion.
Ling Han felt that this kind of thing should never happen.
Because once this kind of thing is confirmed, then tomorrow there will be another bloody purge.
Ling Han really didn't want to see that situation happen again.
"Teacher Chen, is this possible? I heard that Emperor Hongwu's imperial guards were so powerful that they could even eavesdrop on private conversations in ministers' homes. How could such a big thing not be paid attention to?"
Jiang Wei was also unconvinced.
Ever since the imperial guard was changed to the Jinyiwei, he had always been very proud to think that the Jinyiwei was now a sharp sword in the emperor's hand, capable of hitting wherever he pointed.
All officials in the capital can monitor anything.
Even if an official has a child with a concubine, he may not know when he was conceived, but they, the royal guards, will know.
So how could such a big conspiracy theory involving Zhu Biao be concealed?
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Jiang Yu, with obvious suspicion in his eyes.
Jiang Wei hurriedly shook his head, looked at Chen Han, and gave him a look, which meant that this kid was talking nonsense.
When Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, he was right. His Jin Yiwei had always been unfavorable in inquiring into the privacy of officials.
These years have been enough to prove that officials should have already learned how powerful the Jin Yiwei is. How could they tie the heads of the nine tribes to their belts to do such a thing.
Chen Han said slowly: "No matter how powerful the Jinyi Guards are, they can't find out everything. For example, they may not be able to know about poisoning."
Jiang Wei almost jumped up, this was impossible.
Moreover, in the palace, there were many eunuchs and maids who tested poison on Zhu Biao's food.
I have never heard of any eunuch or maid being poisoned to death.
Ling Han said: "Teacher Chen, please don't fool me. I heard that people in the royal family are very careful when eating. They will check whether it is poisonous or not. How could someone poison the prince?"
People say that poison can be detected with a silver needle. Poisonous things can be detected when the silver needle touches them. Even the most poisonous crane-crested red can be detected. "
After Chen Han heard what the village chief said, he laughed: "Why is it that in the 21st century, some people still believe that silver needles can detect any poison? Village chief, I must popularize scientific knowledge to red generally refers to red arsenic, which is actually arsenic. It is actually extracted from red letter stone.
The main component of red letter stone is arsenic trioxide, which becomes the famous arsenic after processing.
Arsenic can be divided into white arsenic and red arsenic. If the red arsenic is not pure, it will be red, like a red crown, so it is named Heding Red.
The reason why Heding Red can be detected by silver is because ancient technology is not good enough and it is difficult to absolutely purify it. Therefore, there are many sulfide impurities in Heding Red, and when silver encounters these sulfides, it will react and turn black.
Village Chief, I want to explain to you that not all poisons can be detected by silver needles. Only poisons containing sulfide can be detected.
But what if the poison is caused by the combination of food and food?
What about chronic poison? It's okay for others to eat it, but there are many people who will be poisoned among specific groups of people and specific genes.
Maybe someone would specifically target the prince's body to inject some chronic poison that requires long-term accumulation before it becomes toxic?
Ancient technology cannot be detected at all, right? "
After hearing this, Ling Han felt confused, but for some reason, he felt it made sense.
And Chen Han continued: "Let's not talk about poison, why are we talking about these, let's talk about conspiracy theories.
For example, in the first conspiracy theory, in the 24th year of Hongwu's reign, Prince Zhu Biao was ordered to go to Kaifeng, Luoyang, and Chang'an to investigate the matter of moving the capital.
Zhu Biao's health must have been fine before departure, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang would never have let Zhu Biao go, right? "
Ling Han nodded: "Yes, I agree with this."
"Okay, if you agree with this, let's talk about why Hongwu went out in August 24th and suddenly fell ill three months after he came back, since there was nothing wrong with his body.
Historical records indicate that he died of illness in April of the 25th year of Hongwu's reign due to wind and cold.
Logically speaking, wind-cold is not a serious illness. With Zhu Biao's body in the prime of life and such good medical conditions, how could he die suddenly?
Village chief, have you thought carefully about whether there is any conspiracy theory in this? "hiss……
Ling Han also gasped.
According to Chen Hanse's analysis and judging from the time, it seems that Zhu Biao was most likely to be poisoned and killed.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao and his son also looked at each other.
This possibility is not without.
But Ling Han soon expressed his denial: "The prince went to inspect various places, who dared to poison the road and inspect Chang'an? Could it be His Highness the King of Qin?"
Chen Han asked: "Village chief, why did you say that?"
Ling Han replied: "Obviously, if the prince dies, King Qin, as the legitimate second son of Queen Ma, has the right to inherit."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed.
Although he is a person who attaches great importance to family ties, if someone threatens the interests of Prince Zhu Biao, he can eradicate everything.
Zhu Biao subconsciously felt it was impossible.
After all, I am very good to my brothers below.
When his younger brothers made mistakes, he would always correct them.
Especially the King of Qin did a lot of things that were unpopular with the people in the fiefdom. Without Zhu Biao to mediate, King Qin might have been deposed, and there was no way the second son would harm himself.
After Ling Han expressed such a guess, Chen Han shook his head: "That's not right. According to historical records, when Zhu Biao was out on inspection, King Qin was recalled to the capital and imprisoned by Zhu Yuanzhang because he made a mistake.
One of the purposes of Zhu Biao's inspection in Chang'an was to investigate these matters of King Qin. "
Ling Han was surprised, "If it wasn't King Qin who assassinated the prince, then who was it?"
Chen Handao: "I just said this was a conspiracy theory and didn't say who it was. Anyway, history books record that Zhu Biao fell ill after returning from Shaanxi and died soon after. Who knows the specific circumstances."
After hearing this, Ling Han looked at each other with Zhu Yuanzhang and the others behind him.
In fact, they were happy when this information came out, because at least they knew one of the important reasons why Zhu Biao fell ill. It was possible that he fell ill due to acclimatization on the way to Shaanxi for inspection.
The solution is very simple, just don't let Zhu Biao inspect it.
Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his hands excitedly. This was good news for him, and it was great news.
If it really could save Zhu Biao's life, it would be okay not to move the capital.
And judging from his own personality, even if Zhu Biao finishes his inspection and says that Chang'an, Shaanxi Province can be used as the capital, he will definitely give it up because of Zhu Biao's death.
So just don’t go and investigate.
As long as people are fine, that's the best.
Zhu Yuanzhang also came to the conclusion based on what Chen Han said. Perhaps his prince fell ill and died because of long-term fatigue and great psychological pressure.
The solution is, first, don't let Zhu Biao go to investigate; second, let Zhu Biao stop being so tired and take care of his body quickly.
As for the conspiracy theories Chen Han mentioned, Zhu Yuanzhang found them unreasonable.
To be honest, he has never been happy from the time when Chen Hankai arrived in the Ming Dynasty, and everything he said was to poke his lungs. However, the reasons for Zhu Biao's death mentioned today can make him deduce in reverse, how To avoid these things from happening, from the current point of view, the feasibility is still very high.
So now Zhu Yuanzhang is more pleased with Chen Han. At least if Zhu Biao's death is really avoided, then there will be no problem for Zhu Yuanzhang to directly reward Chen Han as a marquis.
At this time, Zhu Biao felt that these conspiracy theories were irrelevant, because these things were simply impossible to happen.
As mentioned before, because Chen Han heard that an emperor like Zhu Qizhen appeared later in the Ming Dynasty, his desire to survive is very strong now. He thinks that he must live and never let such an emperor appear in the Ming Dynasty.
Of course I am willing to listen now that there is a solution.
Then Chen Han said again: "There is another conspiracy theory that is even more creepy, and I personally think it makes sense. This is a terrifying conclusion. Do you want to listen to it, village chief?"
……
The most important thing during the new book period is to read it, so I beg you to read it! !
