Zhao Ziliang watched the two of them blaming and throwing dirty water at each other, and sneered in his heart, and immediately shouted: "I will not wrong a loyal minister, but I will not let a traitor go, so I will lock up brothers Zhu Si and Huang Ziming first.
Send someone to keep a close watch on the matter.
We will find out the truth of the matter once we investigate.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Liang Zhenwu agreed with clasped fists.
He turned around and waved to the soldiers and ordered: "Go down and find two rooms and keep them under strict guard.
There will be no mistakes."
Huang Ziming was stupid.
He didn't expect that Zhao Ziliang would also lock him up.
He was originally going to expose Zhu Si's evil deeds and bring down the Zhu Si brothers.
These two people were so good at running camps, so he could not only get rid of the two Disaster, he could be promoted and make a fortune because of this, but he didn't expect that instead of being promoted and making a fortune, he was actually imprisoned.
At this time, the sky outside has turned white, and it will be dawn soon.
Fortunately, the crisis has been resolved, and things have almost calmed down.
Zhao Ziliang ordered the ministers to rest first and wait for the summons.
Two concubines were killed in one assassination.
No matter how hard-hearted Zhao Ziliang was, he couldn't let go for the time being and couldn't sleep.
The bodies of the two men had been carried to the room by the palace maids.
They had been tidied up and put on makeup, and they had both changed into new clothes.
Zhao Ziliang stayed beside the bodies and no one was allowed to disturb them.
I don't know how long it took, but Li Muchen walked in and said softly: "Your Majesty, the two princesses have passed away.
It will not help your majesty to grieve.
Please forgive me.
The most important thing now is to arrange the funeral arrangements for the two princesses.
Yes.
Your Majesty, please tell me whether you should transport the two princesses back to Xinjing for burial or continue to take them to Chang'an for burial."
After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang reluctantly cheered up and considered the matter.
He went to Chang'an this time to inspect military and political affairs.
If there were problems, he would deal with them.
If there were no problems, he would go to various places to inspect.
But how could the huge Tang Dynasty not have any problems?
So The purpose of his visit this time is to continue to guide the development of the Tang Dynasty, and to beat some disobedient small vassal states to make them more honest.
Therefore, he will not return easily after coming out of Xinjing this time.
If the bodies of the two deceased princesses are sent back to Xinjing alone without him going back together, it will not matter.
In addition, the two princesses are mothers in the world after all.
Naturally, a woman cannot be buried casually on the spot, so she can only go to Chang'an with her body, and then find a geomantic treasure land to choose an auspicious day for burial.
Zhao Ziliang said: "Take it to Chang'an and find someone to find a geomantic treasure land for burial near the royal mausoleum of the Li Tang royal family."
"The weather is getting hot now.
In order to better preserve the remains of the two princesses, Wei Chen has ordered people to clear out the ice cubes used to store food.
But good coffins are hard to find, and this is a wilderness.
If An ordinary coffin cannot express the noble status of the two princesses.”
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "Then send someone to Jinchang County to find the other person.
According to Gu's decree, two thousand cavalry are mobilized from the garrison to rush to Jinchang County day and night.
They control the inside and outside of the county and strictly prohibit anyone from escaping the preservation of the body.
Just using ice cubes won’t last long.
Ice cubes will melt quickly when exposed to high temperatures.

The materials used to make ice cubes won’t last long.
It’s best to find other ways.”
Li Muchen cupped his hands and said: "It's about the method of preserving the bodies of the two princesses.
I don't know much about it.
The imperial doctor is proficient in medicine and should know some methods.
Why don't you call Imperial Doctor Liang over and ask?"
"Go ahead" "yes" There are several methods used by Imperial Physician Liang.
One is one of the oldest methods, which is to replace the blood in the corpse, inject mercury into the blood vessels, drain the blood, and then inject mercury into the chest and abdominal cavities of the body.
The mercury can After disinfection and antisepsis, the body was finally soaked and sealed in a coffin filled with mercury, but this required a large amount of mercury, and I was afraid that we would not be able to find so much mercury in a short period of time.
"The second method is to put a relic in any of the seven orifices of the corpses of the two princesses after I heard that after the enlightened Buddhist monk passed away, his body was burned and his relics remained in the world.
The relics of the enlightened monk have incredible power.
It can keep the body from decaying for thousands of years, or there may be some treasures that can keep the body from decaying, but I'm afraid that your Majesty doesn't have it with you right now."
Where can we get the relics of a great monk in this wilderness?
Even if we send someone 800 miles to Tibet to retrieve the relics, it will not be possible in a short time.
Zhao Ziliang asked: "Is there any other way?"
Dr.
Liang said: "I heard that Your Majesty brought some ice-making raw materials with him.
I don't know how much is left.
If the amount is enough, there is no need to make additional ice to cool down and preserve the body.
You can directly freeze the body in ice.
This is better than other methods."
Use ice to cool down The effect is better, and the corpses of the two empresses can be kept lifelike forever.
You only need to regularly add water to the ice surface, then cool it down and freeze it to maintain the thickness and temperature of the ice surface and prevent the ice from melting.
Moreover, the used raw materials can be continuously use" Zhao Ziliang was stunned and secretly cursed himself for forgetting this problem.
He immediately told Li Muchen: "Just use this method."
"yes" The deaths of Xinping and Wang Zhiyun were a great blow to Zhao Ziliang.
While he was staying at the inn and waiting for the coffin to be transported from Jinchang County, he basically stopped taking care of things.
His whole person was mentally out of shape and often in a trance.
Trance.
On March 26, Zhao Ziliang's chariot had stayed at Wufengyi for ten days.
Two fine nanmu coffins had been transported from Jinchang City, and the frozen bodies of Xinping and Wang Zhiyun had been put into the coffins.
Li Muchen came to report to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, all matters here have been dealt with.
All units of the Hexi Province garrison have been ordered to return to their bases one after another.
Your Majesty can leave for Chang'an tomorrow.
Please express your condolences." , passed away, I think the two empresses will be very sad when they see your majesty so sad.
In addition, Wei Chen has sent people to Chang'an, where the search for the tombs of the two empresses will soon begin."
Zhao Ziliang finally had a reaction, and his eyes reluctantly left the two coffins.
When he turned around, there was a hint of intelligence in his eyes, and his whole body gradually returned to normal.
Li Muchen finally relaxed secretly when he saw this.
One breath.
"Li Muchen, I have already considered it.
The fourth and fifth sons will not go to Chang'an for the time being.
They are the princesses of our Western Qin Kingdom.
They must be buried in the royal tomb of the Western Qin Kingdom.
Let them stay at the inn for the time being. , placed in the basement, cooled and frozen regularly.

In addition, people were quickly sent back to Xinjing to transport two crystal coffins and replace the nanmu coffin with a crystal coffin."
Li Muchen immediately agreed: "I obey the decree."
In ancient times, there were many methods of corpse embalming, but it was difficult to keep the corpse as lifelike as it was before death.
The use of ice can completely stop the decay of the corpse and stop the cell activity completely, so that the corpse can be preserved of freshness.
Ordinary people do not have such financial resources and abilities, but the royal family with supreme royal power can do it.
As long as the dynasty lasts, the body can be frozen forever, or the body can be transported to the top of the snowy area to let nature The royal family also has the conditions to freeze the corpse forever, and can even build a mausoleum on the snowy peak.
At night, the lobby of the inn was brightly lit, and Zhao Ziliang leaned back on his chair and listened to Xuan Shiba's progress report on the assassination case.
"Your Majesty, after our investigations over the past few days, we have obtained limited clues and made little progress.
Wang Jiahe, Jia Rong and others have never cooperated with the investigation.
They insisted that they were the ones responsible for the assassination.
Jia Rong admitted All actions were planned by him, and Wang Jiahe was responsible for executing them.
The subordinates are responsible for cooperating.
Wei Chen has already investigated and interrogated their subordinates.
These people have extremely limited knowledge.
They are just people who do things and have no idea about the real mastermind behind the scenes.
When asked, they were even surprised and confused.
Surprised, obviously I didn’t expect there were people behind Wang Jiahe and Jia Rong.”
"The subordinates I sent to Jinchang County have received news.
After investigation, Jinchang County Governor Guo Shouyi has serious suspicions.
Guo Shouyi refused to confess during the interrogation.
The officials responsible for the investigation are currently thinking of other methods, hoping to make a breakthrough.
Wei Chen has sent people to Chang'an as quickly as possible, asking the six gates of the Ministry of Justice to immediately investigate and prepare all the situations of Qianji Tower.
In addition, the West Factory will also conduct an investigation with all their strength, vowing to find out the details of Qianji Tower and bring them to justice.
The two empresses seek revenge.”
"Tianchen and his men conducted detailed investigations and inquiries on the shopkeepers, clerks and business travelers staying at the nearby inn, and found nothing unusual.
However," Zhao Ziliang frowned and said: "If you have something to say, just say it.
Don't hesitate.
Even if you have doubts and no evidence, you can't talk about it.
Sometimes intuition is quite accurate."
"Yes."
He only brought one eunuch and two attendants, and according to what he said, Going to Xinjing is such a long distance from Chang'an to Xinjing.
Although there are many inns along the way, it is not absolutely safe.
He, a vassal king, only has three weak people with him when he goes to such a far place. , This is a bit unreasonable, but there is nothing else suspicious about him."
Zhao Ziliang was silent for a while after listening to his report, "Let's continue investigating."
"yes" Zhao Ziliang said to the ministers: "The matter here is almost over.
Please make preparations and set off for Chang'an tomorrow.
However, I decided not to take the bodies of the two beloved concubines with me for the time being.
Instead, I will leave them here and place them in the basement."
Some eunuchs and maids will take care of it here and do a good job in maintaining the ice.
No accidents can occur.
Where is Du Zongwu?"
Du Zongwu came out uneasily, clasping his fists and saying, "I'm here."
Zhao Ziliang said coldly: "For the death of Gu's two beloved concubines, you, the general in charge of security protection, have an unshirkable responsibility.
If you make a mistake, you will be punished.
Tell me what I want to do with you."

Du Zongwu was suddenly sweating profusely, but he also knew that he could not shirk his responsibility in any way, and he could not shirk it.
In this case, what else could he say?
He immediately knelt down and prostrated on the ground, "Your Majesty, I know that I have committed a capital crime. , please Your Majesty grant me a death and bury the two empresses."
"Hmph."
Zhao Ziliang sneered, "It's so easy to die.
From now on, I will order you to guard the mausoleum for your two beloved concubines.
From you on, the descendants of all generations will inherit the position of guardian of the mausoleum, unless the Western Qin Kingdom is destroyed and the mausoleum happens.
If it's stolen or damaged, your nine clans will be punished."
"I obey the decree" The ministers were silent, wondering whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for Du Zongwu
