Seiwa

Uncle Xingning was arrogant and domineering, even though his subordinates committed murder in the street.The Yin of Yingtian Mansion is just upright, he locks Uncle Xingning and his subordinates to the government office, resolutely safeguards the fairness of the law, and implements the highest purpose of "the prince who breaks the law is the same as the common people".

All of a sudden, Ying Tianfu became synonymous with justice and won the praise of the people in the capital.

Surrounded by flowers and applause, Ying Tianfu should have been full of spirits and ambitions. He clenched his fists and expressed that he would fight to the end with evil forces like Xing Ningbo.

The fact is, from Fu Yin down, including Fu Cheng, Zhizhong, Tongju, and pushing officials, there is no dissatisfaction, and his face is wrinkled as if he swallowed a few catties of coptis.

It is true that Xing Ningbo ordered his own soldiers to commit murder in the street, but who were the murderers?

Unidentified spies and Jin Yiwei!

Is Jin Yiwei tied his hands?The identities of the four spies are even more difficult!

With the great help of Jin Yiwei, Ying Tianfu's subordinate experience department quickly found out who these four spies were, where they were from, and how their work and social relations were.

With the report of the Experience Department in front of him, the governor of Yingtian Fu took a breath, "Gu King's guard?!"

Close your eyes, inhale, exhale, open your eyes.

The four big characters are impressively in sight and have never disappeared.

Finding out the identities of these four people is even more troublesome than keeping in the dark.

Fu Yin clenched his fist, and he wondered why Jin Yiwei was so kind, waiting for him here!

In Jingnan, the Yan army attacked Nanjing, and it was King Gu and Li Jinglong who opened the Jinchuan Gate and helped Zhu Di ascend to the throne.

Today, the king of Gu never fails to reward those who have meritorious service.In addition to changing the title of Changsha from northern Xinjiang, the rewards that King Gu received were comparable to those of the emperor's mother and brother.

Even if there was an envoy from Changsha who accused King Gu of "seizing people's fields, embezzling public taxes, and killing innocent people indiscriminately", the emperor only issued a symbolic decree to persuade him, and he was not like King Qi.

It can be seen how strong Gu Wang's status is.

Since the fourth year of Yongle, the feudal lords either actively or forcedly reduced their guards one after another.King Zhou failed to be special, and King Gu was no exception.

The reduced guards of the royal palace either served as local guards or were transferred to the capital division and incorporated into the capital defenders.There are also a considerable number of officers and soldiers who were disarmed and returned to their hometowns due to old age and injury.

Meng Qing and the four spies of Qin Wei Tong Bian, originally from Fujian, were disarmed due to old battlefield diseases, but did not return to their hometowns, and sneaked into the capital under the name of others, with unknown intentions.If there is no problem with the guide you hold, the government offices you pass along the way, as well as the guards at the city gates, will all get into trouble!

Hot potato!

This is four hot potatoes!

The duty of the Fu Yin is not to throw out troubles like pushing officials.I can only tell the Experience Department, Jin Yiwei to come to the door again, be sure to ask clearly, Beizhen Fusi's attitude towards this matter.

The Fu Cheng who was also in the second hall thought deeply about his intentions, and couldn't help worrying, "I'm afraid that Qingliu will criticize me."

Being so close to Jin Yiwei, if the news got out, everyone in the government office would be spit on.

Fu Yin smiled wryly, so far, how can he care about these things.

"If this is not the case, I am afraid that the official position will not be guaranteed."

"This……"

Fu Cheng's complexion changed suddenly, but Tong San didn't take it seriously, thinking that Fu Yin was scaremongering.

"Wang Tong's sentence, don't think that this official is afraid of things." Fu Yin said in a deep voice, "Although Mr. Xing Ning's actions are often criticized by the courtiers, he has never violated the criminal law. Why is Jin Yiwei involved in this murder in the street? inside?"

"What does the prefect mean?"

"Recently, some soldiers from the capital committed suicide and were persecuted by court officials before their death. Rumors in the capital are rampant, but the Qing officials in the court have not talked about this matter. Don't you find it strange?"

Now, not only Fu Cheng Zhizhong, but also the general judge's expression finally changed.

"Although the father and brother who committed suicide Xiaoqi served under the command of two generations of Wei Guogong, he was only a guard of the city, but his reputation was not obvious. Why did the rumors spread immediately after his death, and the scope is so bright? Have you never thought about it?"

Speaking of this, Fu Yin paused for a moment, as if he felt that the topic was getting too far, but remembering Uncle Xing Ning who had kidnapped the servants and entered Yingtian Mansion, and refused to leave, even if it was just speculation, he had to say what he had to say.

Ever since Uncle Xing Ning entered Yingtian Mansion, everyone in the mansion has been stuck in the net, they must die together and live together.No one wants to be alone, even the official who is sick at home is the same.

"Everyone, just listen to my words. This matter is no small matter. Uncle Xingning's murder in the street is no longer important. Why did King Gu's guards stay in the capital under false pretences, and why did they stare at Uncle Xingning's mansion so as to attract the attention of Jin Yiwei? .”

Rumors in the middle of the capital, Duke Wei's mansion, Uncle Xingning's mansion, King Gu's guards, Jin Yiwei...

Now that Jin Yiwei has targeted him, does it mean that the emperor also knows about it?

For some reason, Fu Yin suddenly thought of Empress Xu and Concubine Xu who had been seriously ill successively, his expression froze, and he shivered violently.

"Everyone," the governor settled down and raised his voice, "You must treat Uncle Xingning with courtesy. The identities of the four people imprisoned in the government office must be kept secret, and they must not reveal a word to the public. Without the emperor's order, this The four cannot be taken away, not even the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Criminal Justice!"

"What if Jin Yiwei came to pick him up?"

Fu Yin shook his head, "According to Commander Yang's actions, I didn't mention it before, but I wanted to keep these four people in Yingtian Mansion. I just ordered the yamen servants to watch them carefully, there is no need to interrogate them, let alone let these four people die."

Everyone was puzzled, but Fu Yin didn't want to say more.

If he is not mistaken, these four people are likely to be bait.If you want to catch bigger fish, Ying Tianfu is naturally easier to catch than Beizhen Fusi.

Uncle Xingning insisted on not leaving. Could it be that he also wanted to fish?

Isn't he afraid that the wind will capsize the boat and he will fall into the water?

Fu Yin's worries were not groundless. Meng Qinghe, who was invited to the third hall of Yingtian Mansion, where he ate, drank and slept soundly, had already thought of this.

However, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

With the personal guards of the uncle's mansion and the guards left by Shen Xuan, as long as the other party does not intend to raise the flag to rebel in the capital, he will be "imprisoned" in Yingtian mansion, which is safer than Xingning uncle's mansion.

After eating a plate of snacks, he wiped his hands and signaled the guards who were imprisoned with him not to worry.

"You can eat and drink here, and you can also chat with the yamen servants. What's wrong?"

"Humble and worried about my uncle's safety."

"Worry is easy to grow old."

"..."

"Be happy, life is beautiful."

"..." He seemed to be able to understand why the civil servants in the court would change their faces in three seconds when they met the uncle.

After sending away the guards, Meng Qinghe threw off his boots, leaned on the couch, and yawned lazily.

There are personal guards and guards, and Jin Yiwei must be ambushing inside and outside the government office.

When Han Wang and Zhao Wang arrived in the capital, his safety was more assured.

Furthermore, if he was imprisoned voluntarily and continued to pour dirty water on him, the effect would be greatly reduced.

Chasing wind and shadows, touching lips with lips, saying whatever you want.

What Yamen pays attention to is evidence.

It is said that he killed Xiaoqi at the gate of the city and was so arrogant and domineering that he didn't take Wei Guogong's mansion seriously. Is there any evidence?

He was indeed arrogant, but the target of his arrogance was Jin Yiwei, an unidentified spy.According to the judgment standard of Qingliu, the official in the court, it should be regarded as a standard model of "struggling against evil forces".

Trying to avoid fame, and relying on the arrogant notoriety, just to disrupt the rhythm of the mastermind behind the scenes, and if you are lucky, you can even lure the snake out of the hole.

Yang Duo shouldn't care about how many punches and kicks his subordinates received.

After all, his notoriety spread throughout the entire capital, and even the people in the prefectures and counties under his jurisdiction heard about it, and he wouldn't believe it without Jin Yiwei's hands and feet, fueling the flames, and killing him.

Of course, it won't be Yang Duo who will do it, but it will definitely be his subordinates.Find a few stalkers and beat them up, which can be regarded as getting back some interest.

Touching his chin, Meng Qinghe yawned again.

He has been in the army for several years, has fought with real knives and guns on the battlefield, and faced Duke Dingguo day and night. What Uncle Meng believes in is not to repay grievances with virtue, but to repay grievances with revenge.

If there is a chance, we must find the venue, otherwise, there will be no such shop after passing this village!

"The palace should have heard the news." Meng Qinghe narrowed his eyes. With Daoyan as a cheap master, he believed that he would never suffer.As for the person who planned all this behind the scenes, if he dares to treat him as a persimmon, he must have the courage to bear the consequences!

Just as he was thinking, there were a few light bangs outside the window.

Meng Qinghe got up immediately, walked to the window in a few strides, a bamboo tube as thick as a thumb was suddenly thrown in through the crack of the window, fell on the ground, and rolled twice.

There is no identity mark on the bamboo tube, only a whistle pattern is engraved on the top near the cork.

Picking up the bamboo tube and weighing it, Meng Qinghe first frowned, then was overjoyed.

Pulling out the cork, an inch-long roll of paper fell into the palm of my hand.

Unfolding the scroll, the few words are shocking.

"Ping Wangfu, Gu Wang, Cao Guogong, the remnants of the previous dynasty."

Meng Qinghe held the scroll and stared at it for a moment, almost engraving the twelve characters on the paper into his mind.

After a while, he heard a sound coming from outside the door, and immediately moved the paper to the candle.

The white paper and black ink turned to ashes in the orange flames. Meng Qinghe clutched the bamboo tube tightly. It seemed that King Han and King Zhao would not be safe to return to Beijing. He had to stay in Yingtian Mansion for a while, and it would be best to wait until Master Dingguo came back. towards.

After making up his mind and running over a few ashes that fell on the ground, Uncle Meng closed the window, lay down on the couch, and continued to meet Duke Zhou in his dream.

Let go of half of my heart that has been hanging for a few days, and I should be able to have a good dream tonight.

Imperial Palace, West Nuan Pavilion of Fengtian Hall

Yang Duo knelt on the ground, and presented the statement and clues compiled by Fusi Beizhen to the emperor.

"Are they all here?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, according to the history of Prince Ping's residence and the confession of the middle officials, this matter was indeed done by Princess Ping. However, the palace people who participated in the conspiracy were arranged by King Gu."

Zhu Di opened his confession and snorted coldly, "I underestimated him. What's the matter with these spies? Is it related to the ones locked in Yingtian Mansion?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the four people arrested by Beizhen Fusi were also detained in Yingtian Mansion Yamen, all of whom were the guards of King Qiangu. The four people were detained in Yingtian Mansion because Uncle Xingning was arrested. Captured outside Duke Cao's mansion."

"Duke Cao?"

"Yes."

Yang Duo took out a booklet, which was the confession of the two spies.

After seeing the above clearly, Zhu Di sneered again and again, "Okay, that's really good! He's really my good subject, my good brother!"

It turned out that the chief eunuch of the Kunning Palace had been favored by Concubine Guo Hui in the early years. On the surface, he had a relationship with Prince Ping's mansion, but in fact it was King Gu's internal response, and Princess Ping colluded with the palace because of King Gu's promise to support King Ping's ascension to the throne. He moved his hands and feet.

Cao Guogong Li Jinglong has been in secret contact with King Gu, not only accepting people secretly sent by King Gu to Beijing, but also using the relationship between Beijing and China to deliver news for Prince Ping and Prince Gu.

King Gu took the initiative to reduce the guards, seemingly loyal to Zhu Di, but actually recruited troops in the fiefdom, and followed the example of Emperor Yongle Jingnan in the past, secretly forging bows, crossbows, knives and guns in the palace.If it weren't for skilled craftsmen, even artillery would have been made.

There are Jianwen remnants under Wei Guogong's command, including the defender Xiaoqi who committed suicide and Zhang Chengdu who was killed by Xu Huizu!

Every sentence in the confession was like a slap on Zhu Di's face, again and again, making him furious.

"It's all hidden from me, and I'm blind and deaf!"

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

"Quiet your anger?" Zhu Di clenched his confession, his voice was as cold as counting nine winters, "No, I'm not angry, I should be happy."

Yang Duo knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

Hou Xian, who was standing by the side, couldn't stand anymore, and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Your Majesty!"

"Get up, get up."

"Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty take care of the dragon body!"

"I said, I'm not angry, I'm happy."

His good brother, good son, good daughter-in-law, good courtier!

To kill the Queen first, and then to cause discord between Duke Wei's mansion and Uncle Xingning, even if it was to appease Xu Huizu and his relatives, Uncle Xingning must be dealt with.

After Xingning Bo, he was Ding Guogong.

Both of them were labeled treacherous and rebellious, and Gao Xu and Gao Sui were bound to be implicated, even Zhu Di would be penalized heavily by the history secretary.

Favoring a traitor, not knowing people clearly, fooling the king!

Zhu Di was not surprised that King Gu would have such thoughts.His throne was snatched from his nephew, and his brothers were not happy with their fate.

It is not surprising that Li Jinglong will be involved.

The old officials of Jianwen and the heroes of Jingnan both disdain to be with him.In the second year of Yongle, he was taken into custody to raise criminals, and in the third year of Yongle, he was deprived of office, leaving only the title of duke of the state and eating Lumi at home.Zhu Di expected that he would be unwilling, complain about the court, and even have two hearts.

But Zhu Di never expected that Li Jiujiang would have the courage to join forces with King Gu to help King Gu plot against his son and murder the palace!

There is also Prince Ping's Mansion.

"This time it's the queen, next time, will it be me?"

Emperor Yong Le was born in the flames of war, everything he had was obtained from the battlefield, and was obtained through fighting again and again.

He is not afraid of confrontation with sharp swords and sharp guns.

He is also not afraid of the conspiracy behind it.

What made him feel cold was that among those who betrayed him was his son!

Prince Ping really doesn't know what Princess Ping did?

Even though he didn't like the eldest son Zhu Gaochi that much, and wanted to make his second son the crown prince, Zhu Di never thought of knocking Zhu Gaochi into the dust.Keeping Zhu Gaochi in Beijing seems to be worried about him, so why not save him in another way?

However, Zhu Gaochi disappointed him, once again.

Turning to the last page of the confession, Zhu Di did not move for a long time.

"Yang Duo."

"The minister is here."

"Is someone from the Hanlin Academy involved?"

"Yes." Yang Duo's expression was calm, and his voice was extremely steady, "According to investigations, Xie Jin, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, had secretly sent a message to Prince Ping's mansion. The Changshi of King Ping held a letter written by Xie Jin in his hand, which can be proved. Huaiyang Rong was also involved, but without evidence, I dare not say so."

"Xie Jin, what a Xie Jin!" Zhu Di's hand behind his back slowly clenched, then loosened, and then clenched again, "Can Duke Wei get involved in this matter?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, according to Shuntian's report, Wei Guogong has nothing to do with this matter. It's just that Zhang Cheng, a hundred households under his command, is a remnant of the previous dynasty, and has secretly taken refuge in King Gu. Xuanfu also has a nail left by King Gu, and even the King of Han didn't notice it."

"So, this matter was all planned by King Gu?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I dare not say anything."

Yang Duo bowed his head, even if he had an answer in his heart, he couldn't say it.

Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Yunwen.

In front of Emperor Yong Le, this was a taboo.

It's the same whether you're dead or alive.

After a long time, Zhu Di finally said: "It is my will that Cao Guogong Li Jinglong disregarded the law. I have forgiven him many times, but I still don't want to repent. I take in the murderer, do illegal things, take his title, and send him to prison."

"Gu Wangsui was greedy and cruel, extorted violently, refused to listen to the blunt words, and ignored the court. I cared about the love of my relatives, persuaded me many times, but still refused to change after repeated admonitions. The officials of the royal family can't persuade the emperor, and they help the emperor to abuse him, and he will be handed over to the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment for accountability."

"King Ping..." At this point, Zhu Di paused, and his voice became deeper and deeper, "King Ping changed the title to Southwest Pu'an Prefecture, gave two hundred school lieutenants, and paid eight thousand shi. Under the order, set off immediately to become a vassal, without edict You are not allowed to enter Beijing. Concubine Ping is ill, and the concubine and concubine are given to accompany her to the feudal domain. Prince Ping's son is smart and eager to learn, so he stays in Beijing to study."

"Even though Uncle Xing Ning did something wrong, there was a reason for the incident, and his feelings can be avoided. He will be punished for three months."

Compared with the treatment of King Gu, Cao Guogong and King Pingping, Meng Qinghe was only fined for three months, which is even more drizzle than drizzle.

In his father's rage, Zhu Gaochi was sent to Guizhou to be an orangutan, and Meng Twelve Lang committed crimes in the street, and the rumors were rife, but he handled it lightly, not to mention Yang Duo, even Hou Xian felt inconceivable.

The depth of Xingning Bo's favor is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people.

"Also," Zhu Di changed the subject, "I heard recently that there are soldiers and civilians who serve the Buddha before the ancestors, and are simpler than the sacrifices but stricter than the Buddha sacrifices. This is because the enlightenment is unclear. I only pay homage to the Fengxian Hall every day, even if there are I am slightly ill, but I dare not be contemptuous. The people of the world do their best to deal with the Buddha and neglect their ancestors, which is ignorant of the root. When the world is ordered, the Emperor Taizu Gao's imperial edict is the law, and his actions are correct."

To sum it up, worshiping Buddha cannot be higher than worshiping ancestors. It is the right way to read less Buddhist scriptures and read more imperial edicts.

As soon as the words fell, the Commander of Jin Yiwei, who was able to face the collapse of Mount Tai without changing his face, finally turned into petrification and his expression cracked.

Eunuch Hou, who was more manly than a man, also stared round his eyes, and even forgot to say the word "obedience".

Is the emperor still protecting his shortcomings?

It is clear that your child is bullying others, so you have to wave the whip and go forward to give him a couple of whips, right?
