Seiwa

Emperor Yong Le is determined to deal with someone, and he will never be relentless.

Shangshu impeached Daning Dusi, pointed at Xingningbo's Minister of Rites, and soon received Jin Yiwei's driving letter. He was still in doubt, the black yarn had been removed, and the chains were added to his body.

After the Minister of Rites, the two editors of the Imperial Academy and the right secretary of the Military Division were invited to drink tea in Fusi, North Town of Jinyiwei.

The gate of the Imperial Prison was opened, and Yang Duo, the commanding officer of Jinyiwei, dressed in a bright red brocade robe and a black gauze head, was sitting in the Fusi lobby of Beizhen. A little ferocious.

The two commanders in the hall, the four commanders, and the several school lieutenants outside the hall were chilled at the same time.

Those who were invited today are probably going to be in bad luck.

If you don't pick your skin and cramps, you will become a long-term resident of the imperial prison.

There was a neighing of horses outside the hall, followed by a burst of cursing, followed by the sound of a scabbard slapping on a person's back and leg.

A school lieutenant reported in front of the hall, and the prisoner brought him.

"arrive?"

Yang Duo put down the teacup and stood up, "It's rare for Li Zongbo to come to prison, and I will personally greet him."

Captain Jinyi took the order, the sound of the scabbard became harsher, and the cursing gradually stopped.

Seven or eight times out of ten times when Fusi of Beizhen invites people, he wants to make a fuss in front of the door.

Swearing and scolding are commonplace.

Yang Duo didn't argue with him, just one word, hit.

It's not Jin Yiwei's style to play lip service.

Entering vertically and exiting horizontally, the evidence is conclusive, and interrogation is the highest purpose of Jin Yiwei's case handling.

Consort Duwei Mei Yin was murdered by the governor Tan Shen and the commander of Jin Yiwei, Zhao Xi. Jin Yiwei got involved in a lawsuit. It was found out that it was a personal enmity, and the case should have been closed.Some people were not afraid of death, and involved the matter with the emperor.

During Jing Nan, Mei Yin stood on the side of Emperor Jianwen, reprimanded Zhu Di, and fought against the Yan army.After Jing Nan, he was summoned by the emperor, and he looked like he couldn't get in the oily smoke. He was also impeached by the censor for "raising desperadoes", which left a very bad impression on Zhu Di.

Jin Yiwei is the emperor's pro-army, venting his anger for the emperor, and it is entirely possible to hand over Mei Yin as a scapegoat after the end.

There were not a few courtiers who believed this statement, but none of them satirized and remonstrated with the emperor, and unanimously aimed their firepower at the Jinyiwei, and even the commander of the Jinyiwei, Yang Duo.

Jin Yiwei cannot be abolished, and Yang Duo can be pulled down.

Since the restoration of the Jinyiwei in the Yongle Dynasty, the courtiers have thoroughly experienced Yang Duo's power.

Meticulous and rigorous.

Unpredictable personality, only loyal to the emperor, turning his face and arresting people without showing affection.

One moment he laughed like rain, and the next moment he can trample people under his feet.

All the officials who have dealt with Yang Duo and have been to Fusi in Beizhen will wake up from their dreams when they hear Yang Duo's name.

"Brought to you by the prisoner, the humble post is fortunate enough to live up to your name."

Commander Ji Shi Ji Gang clasped his fists and stepped aside, Minister of Rites and the other four were beaten to the ground, their faces were pale, covered with sweat and dust, and their spine seemed to be broken.

Yang Duo squinted and said nothing.

Ji Gang explained: "Li Zongbo doesn't understand our rules, so I dare to explain it to him in a humble position."

"En." Yang Duo walked in front of Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites, with powder-soled soap boots and clothes embroidered with silver thread, his condescending gaze fell on the eyes of the four people, which was ridicule and insult.

"How is Li Zongbo?" Yang Duo put one hand behind his back and said with a smile, "I'm sorry for the poor greeting."

"Dog thief!" Li Zhigang braced himself up, glared at Yang Duo and the others, and cursed, "It's a joke for a treacherous and sycophant who helps evildoers to abuse others, turns black and white, and acts like an eagle and dog. He dares to call himself a courtier!"

"Bold!"

The scabbard was raised, and with a snap, Li Zhigang fell back to the ground again.

"I advise Li Zongbo to think before he speaks." Yang Duo was still laughing, "Yang has been blessed by the Holy Grace, and he is in charge of Jinyiwei Nanbei Town Fusi, who is in charge of punishment and prison. Is the official dissatisfied or has something else to say?"

"Little man! Treacherous!"

Just a few words of cursing and cursing, not to mention Yang Duo and Ji Gang, even the wrestlers in Fusi of Beizhen could hear cocoons in their ears.

"Invite the four of you in." Yang Duo put away his smile, "For some things, it's better to talk to them in private."

The two Hanlin editors were still yelling at him, but Li Zhigang couldn't even walk steadily, and was dragged into the imperial prison by the strong men.Bing Ke, who was captured together, was shaking non-stop during the incident and might faint at any time.

"Commander, do you see?"

"Put it on hold first, don't be in a hurry to interrogate." Yang Duo called Ji Gang closer, and whispered a few words, "Do you understand?"

"Understandable."

"Go."

Ji Gang was ordered to leave, Yang Duo glanced at the stone platform still stained with blood, narrowed his eyes slightly, and another small line appeared around his mouth.

Libu Shangshu and others who were taken to Beizhen Fusi were detained in different cells.Yang Duo didn't order the torture, but let the jailer Lishi entertain the four of them with delicious food and drink.

The aroma of food wafted in the air, and the old residents in the cell gnawed hard steamed buns, looking at the four people who opened the small stove, their eyes were full of pity.

Only when you are fattened can you use a knife.

The oldest and most experienced old residents also made a bet that the small stove of these four people would last for a few days.

"The longer the days, the more suffering."

Living a dark life, the spirit has become numb, life or death is no longer important.Every time a newcomer starts a small stove, the old qualifications will gamble on it. The gambling money must be zero, but it is just for fun.

The Xiaozao in Bingke ended five days later, and the two Hanlin editors were earlier than him, and the rice and hot dishes turned into hard steamed buns. Let's talk about the ideal of life and the philosophy of doing things.

At first, it was going out and dragging back.

Later, it was dragged out and carried back.

Later, it became carried out, and then carried back.

Of the four newcomers who came in together, three of them had already vented more than breathed in, only Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites still had rice and hot dishes every day, and it had been a long time since he was invited to the torture room.

For more than ten days in a row, it almost broke the highest record in the Imperial Prison.

His colleagues in prison looked at him differently.

"This man must have committed a serious crime."

"rebellion?"

"Deceive the king and ignore it?"

"No, it must be greedy for ink, tax, silver and military pay."

With all kinds of speculation surrounding him, Li Zhigang could only smile wryly.

After half a month in the Imperial Prison, Li Shangshu's small stove finally stopped, and what was delivered to him was no longer rice, but a steamed bun mixed with sand that was so hard that it hurt his teeth.

Unexpectedly, he was relieved.It seemed that the huge boulder hanging above his head had finally fallen, and what was supposed to come had finally come.

Li Shangshu broke open the steamed bun, soaked it in cold water, and swallowed it mouthful.

The jailer and two warriors walked to his cell, and the iron lock was unlocked, "Li Shangshu, please."

Li Zhigang stood up, straightened his back, and stepped over the iron railing.

In the execution room, it was Yang Duo who was waiting for him.

"Li Zongbo, how are you doing these days?"

Li Zhigang snorted coldly, stood upright with a face full of righteousness.

Yang Duo smiled, and said gently: "I have something to ask Li Zongbo for advice."

"But this official impeached Daning?" Li Zhigang snorted again, "There is no need to talk about it!" Huang Xin, the right deputy capital of the procuratorate, leaked the prison affairs, violated the Ming Code, and the six departments concealed the corruption of ink and military supplies. Can Li Fangbo sue me?"

"How can I know!"

"Why, Li Zongbo can't remember? You may wish to remind Zongbo. Li Zongbo broke the law on Mount Tai without a report from the secretary. How did Li Zongbo know in advance and plead with His Majesty? There are 90 catties of yellow rice in the old school yard Teng, why did the Ministry of Industry ask Yumin again? The materials needed for the expansion of the hall have been prepared, why did they increase it three times?" After a pause, Yang Duo said coldly, "Send Shandong labor, how can the new food for the servants be replaced? Chenmi? Wild cocoons in Shandong, Ruimai in Shanxi, diverted people to open up wasteland, why did the people in the fields leave their homes, and the rich families broke their fortunes and homes? Li Zongbo didn’t know anything about this?”

"I don't know!"

Yang Duo closed the file, lowered his eyes, and said, "I heard that before Li Zongbo became an official, his family was poor, but now he has thousands of acres of fertile land and countless wealth. Last month, Li Zongbo just built an ancestral hall in his hometown and expanded the house, right?" ?”

"you……"

Yang Duo did not give Li Zhigang a chance to defend himself, and continued: "In Hongwuzhong, Li Zongbo was appointed as a doctor of the Ministry of Rites. The decree is called back, and the minister of the Ministry of Rites is awarded, and he is treated as a close minister. Dare I ask Uncle Zong, is there any mistake or omission in what the lower official said?"

Li Zhigang turned his head, seemingly disdainful, but the hand behind his back trembled faintly.

"With the official salaries set by Emperor Taizu Gao, where did Li Zongbo's fertile land come from?" Yang Duo sneered, "Why is the Li family so rich? In Yurou Township, they occupied the people's land and oppressed goodness. Li, is the so-called farming and studying family, the surname of a heavenly official?"

"Stop spitting blood and slandering this official!"

"The evidence is convincing, how can there be slander?" Yang Duo said, "As far as I know, Li Zongbo has an old relationship with Zheng Situ, and has a good relationship with Zhao and Liu. Li Zongbo really didn't know?"

"I don't know! Commander Yang said, I don't know anything! If you want to commit a crime, there is no excuse!"

"It's true that Li Zongbo doesn't eat toast?" Yang Duo picked up another file, which was much thicker than the first one, "Remind Zongbo, Beizhen Fusi's fine wine is not so delicious."

Seeing that Li Zhigang remained silent, Yang Duo sneered, "Ji Gang."

"I'm humble."

"I will go to the palace tomorrow to face the saint."

"Commander Yang, don't worry, I will definitely get things done today."

"kindness."

Yang Duo got up and left the torture room without looking at Li Zhigang again.

Ji Gang picked up the dossier that Yang Duo left behind, and opened it, "Li Zongbo, you will be offended by your humble position."

Coal fires blazed in copper basins.

The iron gate was closed, and the inside and outside of the gate suddenly became two worlds.

Walking out of the imperial prison, Yang Duo was thinking all the way, how to write the note to the emperor.

Impeach Daning's guards for corruption, breaking the law, deceiving the emperor, and plotting wrongdoing?

It's a joke.

Yang Duo pinched the spear cocoon in the tiger's mouth and sneered, did he think the emperor was the grandson?

There is no need to attack Daning's impeachment memorial. If the mastermind behind this incident is found out, there will naturally be a way to prevent him from turning over forever.The princes in the court tried to scratch their faces, but none of them were clean.The annual ice respect and carbon respect alone are enough for the six films to pass through the sieve.

There is no room for sand in the eyes of the emperor with the comparison of the six ministries in the northern and southern capitals.What's more, this grain of sand is really not small.

After serving as an official for more than ten years, there are countless fertile fields, and mountains of copper coins. During the reign of Emperor Gao of Taizu, he was peeled and filled with grass.

Just as I was about to have a few incidents today, to scare the chickens and monkeys, the ladder was handed up.

Stretching his neck and screaming twice, he thought he was proud of himself, but he didn't know that the knife was already on his neck.

Sigh, it seems to be pity, really can't do it if you don't want to.

The emperor intends to set up a chief envoy in Daning to take charge of civil affairs. Recently, more and more court officials are eyeing Daning.Uncle Xingning will have a long time to suffer from headaches.

Should I be reminded?

Yang Duo rested on the Xiuchun knife with one hand, stroked the handle, shook his head, there was no need to do anything redundant with Duke Ding.

Daning City

Monk Meng Qing didn't know the turmoil caused by him in Nanjing. After sending the blueprint of the bird gun to the Bingzhan Bureau, he devoted himself all day to improving iron smelting technology and firearm research and development.

"Liu's familiar hands will do what they say. If you are short of money or people, just open your mouth. I only have one request, and I must do this well. At that time, I will ask the court for your credit."

Words of encouragement cannot be spared, and the actual benefits must be put on the bright side.

After the craftsmen from Zunhua arrived in Daning, Meng Qinghe visited Bai Gonggong again. Bai Gonggong was indeed a good talker, so he sent three internal managers and several talented civil servants directly from the Military Bureau to fill in the miscellaneous work in Daning. Office vacancies.

The ambassador and deputy envoy of the Daning Miscellaneous Bureau did not show it on the face, but they were somewhat uneasy in their hearts.

The important people from the military bureau, is the uncle dissatisfied with their work?

"You two don't have to worry, the people in the military battle bureau are only temporarily seconded." Some words can't be said too clearly, but they can't chill the hearts of the people under him. There are more places to employ people in the workshop, do the two families have children of the right age?"

The words are only half spoken, but the meaning is very clear.

A new workshop requires a lot of manpower. As long as the ability is qualified, according to the status of the two people in the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau, it is more than enough to arrange to be a steward and supervisor.

"Humble Uncle Xie!"

The workplace and the officialdom seem to be two different fields, but some principles are the same.

As far as the rules are concerned, favors cannot really be left behind.As long as it does not violate the general principle, opening the back door is nothing.

After arranging the affairs of the Miscellaneous Bureau, Meng Qinghe sent the memorial to the emperor to Daning immediately.

The blueprint of the bird blunderbuss was given to Bingzhan Bureau, and Bai Yanhui would definitely speak up for him. Jin Yiwei did not make any changes, which meant that the emperor did not plan to deal with him.

The letter with Shen Xuan continued, and I learned that he was stationed in the Wanquanwei area of ​​Kaiping, and encountered two groups of Tatar rangers, and the main force of Guilichi was still far away from the frontier.

"After the beginning of spring, will the Tartars go south to thresh corn?"

"Not necessarily, Qiu Sui didn't come."

"Before there was Ding Guogong guarding the northern border, and now there is Wei Guogong. If you come, you will die!"

Such conversations are not uncommon in the frontier army.

The Folang machine gun made by Daning roared at the border, Shen Xuan and Zhu Gaoxu led thousands of soldiers to patrol the border, and the enthusiasm of the neighbors on the grassland for threshing grain dropped by several percentage points in an instant.In contrast, the business of the Wuliangha tribe is not doing well.

Zhu Di chose to turn a blind eye to this.It is only stipulated that the trading of ironware, gunpowder, etc. is strictly prohibited, and tea and salt must be limited.

Meng Qinghe firmly supported the emperor's decision, and invited the big and small leaders of Wuliangha to hold a lively forum on border trade.

"Scarcity is the most expensive thing, and only a small quantity can be sold at a high price, so as to obtain greater benefits."

Uncle Xing Ning was frothing and waving his fists. The strong men listened intently, fascinated.

It turns out that this is what business does.

It turned out that their prices were set so low.

original……

In short, after the meeting, all the big and small leaders in Wuliangha beat their chests and stamped their feet, hoping to get back the sold grain and tea.

"Maybe you trade with the Tatars, but this officer took the risk. This officer treats you as relatives and friends, as your own people. If you were someone else, you would not allow a grain of grain to go out of the fortress."

Monopoly business, how long will you wait if you don't take the opportunity to raise the price?Since we took the risk together, shouldn't the benefits be shared?

The price is too high, worried that the other party will come hard?

It doesn't matter, draw—on the knife!This official supports you, the emperor supports you, and Daming supports you!

The strong men had an epiphany, and returned to the tribe full of joy, and raised the price of the goods sold to the grassland several times that day.

Not buying?Never mind, the price will be higher tomorrow.

The business of Tatar and Oala is completely a seller's market, knowing that the price is unreasonable, buyers can only pinch their noses to recognize it.

Really XXXX is not a thing!

From the fourth year of Yongle to the eighth year of Yongle, Wuliangha and the Tatar Wala have been maintaining transactions, and there has been constant friction. The number of times the three parties swung knives at each other far exceeded the number of fights with frontier soldiers.

It was not until the eighth year of Yongle that the situation changed.

Without him, Emperor Yong Le brought a seriously excessive army to the grassland to visit his neighbors.

It was less than four years before the tiger went down the mountain and Emperor Yong Le broke out of the frontier.This means that the happy days of Mahamu and Guilichi can count down from the back to the front.With the addition of Meng Qing and this variable, one can imagine how colorful the lives of the neighbors on the grassland will be.

Before that, Meng Qinghe had to find a way to further improve the manufacturing process of the firecracker.Daming's new firecracker artillery also needs to test its power on other battlefields.

It was Annan who was lucky enough to be selected as the test site.
