Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 1113

Amidst repeated cries of "Your subject seconds," Marquis Anping, gradually becoming flustered, stared wide-eyed at his surroundings.

The ministers who had previously echoed his sentiments now bowed their heads like bean sprouts, not daring to meet his gaze.

Most of the officials, led by Lai Mingcheng, glared sharply at this fellow.

"Somebody come!"

"Put Marquis Anping in the imperial prison."

"Order the Embroidered Uniform Guard to thoroughly investigate this matter."

'Hiss.'

Upon hearing this, many people couldn't help but gasp in shock.

Let the Embroidered Uniform Guard investigate the Marquis of Anping, who just plotted to assassinate Xu Shan in court.

What's the difference between this and directly convicting and sentencing him?

"This old minister refuses to accept!"

"This old minister is innocent!"

"This old minister possesses the late emperor's edict, which can prove his unwavering loyalty to the Ming Dynasty!"

No matter how much Marquis Anping struggled, the imperial guards who dragged him away did not indulge him at all.

It wasn't until he was pulled out of the Golden Palace that Marquis Anping discovered that Dao Junmo, the Grand Master of the Divine Mechanism, was waiting outside.

"Bring Marquis Anping into the Divine Machine Hub first."

"The Celestial Master is waiting for him there."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Anping widened his eyes and asked, "Heavens, what does the Celestial Master want with me?"

"You should know that very well."

"For Marquis Anping to offer such radical advice, openly embarrassing His Majesty..."

"It can't be Shi Qing, and it certainly can't be the King of Shu, right?"

"Take it with you."

Half an hour later, Yuan Tiangang, his hands stained with blood, walked out from the bottom of the Divine Mechanism Hub with a gloomy expression.

Behind him lay Marquis Anping, lying in a pool of blood, barely clinging to life.

The fact that the Grand Tutor of the Ming Dynasty would personally intervene was clearly no small matter.

Dao Junmo, who had been accompanying them the whole time, arranged for people to handle the scene and then jogged after them.

"If what Marquis Anping said is true, and he was instructed by someone sent by the late emperor... based on the information we have now..."

“The late emperor did not ascend to heaven.”

"Instead, they reached some kind of agreement with the Red Miao Witch Ancestor to refine the method of reincarnation."

According to the records in the Earth Book, this method requires another person to nurture a Gu infant during the tempering process. The closer the bloodline, the easier it is to absorb.

"Analyzing the timeline of the Shu King's enfeoffment to Shu Commandery... it seems to have occurred before the Witchcraft Rebellion!"

"If we follow this line of thought, then the former crown prince must have known about practicing the 'Crimson Gu Pill' in the southwestern city for a long time, and may even have secretly instructed him to do so."

"Your subordinate has even more doubts..."

'Clap. '

After Dao Junmo finished his analysis, Yuan Tiangang stopped and turned to look at him, saying, "What do you suspect? Do you suspect that the former crown prince was used by the former emperor to conceive the paralyzed infant?"

"Is he planning to use the body of the former crown prince to reincarnate?"

"However, in the end, he underestimated the former crown prince's ambition, and he did not expect that the angry Ji would directly destroy his Gu infant carrier."

"is it?"

"It was my recklessness that led me to speak so presumptuously about matters concerning the imperial family!"

After Dao Junmo finished speaking, Yuan Tianshi, who had been silent for a while, said coldly, "The imperial family?"

"The imperial family is the most ruthless!"

"Investigate according to the clues provided by Marquis Anping. Find the person who relayed the message to him and find the mastermind behind it all!"

"Yes!"

"Furthermore, Her Majesty has always been under my watchful eye, so it's impossible for her to conceive a Gu infant. Princess You Ning is also under the watchful eye of the Heavenly Daoist, so it's also impossible for her."

"Prince Ning is dead! Now, the only one closest to the late emperor by blood is..."

"King of Shu!" Dao Junmo blurted out, following Yuan Tiangang's train of thought.

"Only with this possibility would they urge the court to withdraw its troops."

After saying this, Yuan Tiangang remained silent for a moment with a cold expression, then said, "Regardless of whether he is the King of Shu or not, immediately notify Xu Shan."

"We must have the clues we're looking for in Shu County."

"Understood. Also, Celestial Master... if it is confirmed that the late Emperor has indeed been reincarnated and has already awakened."

"Then what should your subordinate and Lord Xu do?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang suddenly laughed.

“If it were Xu Shan, he wouldn’t ask such a stupid question.”

“Dead is dead. Even if he comes back to life, he is still an emperor emeritus who has been given a grand funeral.”

"He should be in the imperial mausoleum, not stirring up trouble for the Ming Dynasty for his own selfish desires!"

"understand!"

……

While Yuan Tiangang ordered a thorough investigation into the matter, Xu Shan, who had already arrived in Chengdu, immediately interrogated the badly injured He Zhishan.

"Once, when the King of Shu was drunk, he inadvertently said..."

"The former crown prince was a puppet whose ambitions did not match his abilities."

"And what else is there to say? The late emperor was already insane in his pursuit of immortality and reincarnation."

"The Red Miao of Coffin Mountain took advantage of this point and secretly reached some kind of agreement with the late emperor long ago."

"By the way, the one who acted as matchmaker was Empress Dowager Lin Ruoyun."

"Lin Ruopu was able to become the Grand Secretary and wield immense power in the court, thanks in part to the support of the late Emperor."

"They said that as long as they firmly control the government, no matter who wins the throne in the end, it will not affect their continuous supply of 'resources' to the late emperor."

"Only then can we collect the necessary elixirs, magical spirits, and fortune for their reincarnation across the entire country..."

Upon hearing He Zhishan's words, Xu Shan, whose worldview had been completely shattered, fell silent on the spot.

Wang Qinian, who was with him, didn't dare to breathe loudly!

If He Zhishan's statement is true...

The "Witchcraft Rebellion" of that year was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Ji Gang was impaled on the Soul-Locking Nail not only because he killed the former crown prince.

Behind the rise of the Donglin Party was a series of exchanges and transfers of benefits.

It was only thanks to the sudden emergence of their own master, coupled with the Celestial Master's years of strategic planning, that this predicament was broken.

Otherwise, the Donglin Party would still hold absolute power in the current government.

Shu County is still occupied by the Red Miao of Guanshan.

"The Red Miao Witch Ancestor has already collected all the witch spirits, fortune, and elixirs for reincarnation. Is the former emperor, who was working at the same time, about to finish as well?"

When Xu Shan suddenly uttered these words, Wang Qinian shuddered and didn't dare to reply.

"You mean you know something about Tianyi Dao and Tantric Buddhism?"

"Otherwise, why would they be so insistent on the Shu Prince's residence?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qinian awkwardly laughed and said, "Your subordinate thinks so too. However, the conditions for reincarnation are extremely harsh."

“Just that ‘Gu infant’ alone requires a blood relative to conceive it. The great shamans of the four surnames and ten clans in the Miao territory are, to put it bluntly, the reincarnation vessels carefully selected by the shaman ancestors of each clan.”

"Who conceived the 'Gu infant' for the late emperor?"

After Wang Qinian finished speaking, Xu Shan suddenly turned his head and glared at him.

Their eyes met, and the two, understanding each other perfectly, exclaimed in unison, "King of Shu?"

Upon hearing this, He Zhishan, as if suddenly remembering something, immediately added, "Very likely. The demon concubine Shi Qing forces the King of Shu to consume a [Blood Pill] every so often."

"And I've noticed that when people take the Blood Pill, there are always villages or border towns in western Sichuan that suddenly experience an epidemic."
