Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 265

"The king of Yan is so insidious, it must be the king of Yan who set fire to the palace, but wanted to accuse His Majesty of his injustice!"

Huang Zicheng was so angry that his beard flew up. As soon as the morning was over, before Emperor Jianwen called, he chased after Emperor Jianwen into Zhengxin Hall, and roared angrily as soon as he entered the hall.

Qi Tai, Lian Zining, and Jing Qing were a little guilty, and the three of them looked at each other without speaking.

Today's morning court was really lively. More than a dozen royal relatives, princes and ministers lay down on the ground and complained to the emperor that the flood in Yanwang's mansion had affected their own mansion, how heavy their losses were, and how many casualties were in the family. Please ask the emperor Hold Yan Wangfu accountable.

Among them, Huang Zhen and Huang Yushi were the saddest. Huang Yushi was full of grief and indignation. When he talked about the pain, he fainted several times. Later, Zhu Yunwen couldn't stand it anymore. When he fainted for the third time, he quickly ordered the pumpkin warrior He got off the shelf and dragged to Tai Hospital to feed Yao.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Di, King of Yan, came to the court to file a complaint. Zhu Di told Zhu Yunqi in detail about the assassination of the palace last night and the assassin's burning of the mansion, and asked His Majesty to uphold justice for him.This time, he even brought the injured guards, the seized crossbow blower and other personal evidence outside the Meridian Gate, waiting for the emperor to test it.

This time, Zhu Di was neither arrogant nor arrogant, and had a sincere and calm attitude. He just narrated the matter in detail, and his tone was very calm. As soon as it was said that he was assassinated in the palace yesterday, everyone looked at the emperor with something wrong.

The yellow mud stuck in his crotch, it was either feces or feces, this time Zhu Yunqi had tasted something hard to say, he walked down the throne with a blushing neck, helped the fourth uncle with his own hands, and swore that he would hunt down the murderer and ensure that For his safety, he severely reprimanded the officials of Yingtianfu, Wucheng Bingmasi, and the Ministry of Punishment, and finally calmed Zhu Di down.

Zhu Yunxuan immediately personally arranged to move King Yan to Prince An's mansion temporarily, and be with King An as a companion, and sent heavy troops to protect him.At the same time, he also personally promised that the imperial court would be responsible for rebuilding the Palace of the King of Yan. As for the other disaster-stricken relatives of the emperor and ministers of civil and military affairs who were honored by the King of Yan, they also gave certain compensations.

When all these arrangements were made, more than half of the time for the court meeting had been spent, and Zhu Yunwen was no longer in the mood to listen to the officials, so he gave a disgruntled order to "dismiss the court", then flung his sleeves and returned to the Zhengxin Hall.

"Your Majesty, according to my opinion, I should send King Yan back to Beiping as soon as possible!"

Fang Xiaoru said solemnly: "There is a high probability that King Yan did it himself, but as long as King Yan is in Beijing, no matter what happens to him, all the spearheads will be pointed at His Majesty, and His Majesty will be hard to argue. If this continues, I don't know what kind of tricks King Yan will come up with, since we can't attack in Jinling, we should beat him and leave as soon as possible, as long as King Yan leaves Jinling safely, then all unfavorable suspicions against His Majesty between the government and the public will naturally be resolved."

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand dejectedly and said: "Send him away, send him away, send him away quickly, I don't want to see him again for a moment."

Qi Tai was very frustrated. He originally expected Jin Yiwei to get rid of King Yan, but he didn't expect Jin Yiwei to make such a big commotion, but King Yan was not hurt. Instead, the emperor couldn't wait to drive King Yan away. With this walk, the dragon will return to the sea, and the tiger will return to the mountain. It will not be easy to deal with him.

Thinking of this, Qi Tai hastily made amends, and suggested: "Your Majesty, I also agree with Lord Fang's opinion, and we should send King Yan back to Beiping as soon as possible. However, King Yan destroyed the palace by himself, pretended to be assassinated, and various measures. It can be seen that Yan Wang Fenming was extremely wary of the imperial court.

Although the imperial court's decision is to stabilize the King of Yan first, cut off his wings, and finally attack the King of Yan, but we have to be on guard against the foolish behavior of the King of Yan after he returns to Beiping.The minister believes that in terms of military strength and military equipment, it is necessary to strengthen the control of Beiping, and we have to prevent the king of Yan from jumping over the wall in a hurry to fight first. "

Zhu Yunwen said: "As the Minister of the Ministry of War, Aiqing should be in charge of dispatching troops, deploying generals, and preparing military defenses. I wonder if Aiqing has any suggestions?"

Qi Taidao: "Xie Gui is now in charge of the Beiping capital, but most of the generals and schools under the Beiping capital are the old troops of the King of Yan. Xie Gui may not be able to do it alone. I think that the governor Song Zhong can lead [-] troops to garrison in the name of preparing for the border. In Kaiping, the governor Xu Kai led [-] troops to Linqing, and the governor Geng Yu led [-] troops to Shanhaiguan. The two guards of Beiping and Yongqing have followed King Yan many times to sweep the north, and he brought out the generals People, it is too late to change them one by one, so all the officers and soldiers of the two guards can be transferred away and moved to Zhangde and Shunde. In this way, even if King Yan returns to Beiping, he will still be His Majesty's caged swallow, weak in strength."

Zhu Yunwen said happily: "In this way, it can be guaranteed that nothing will go wrong. Very good, I will draw up the decree according to your wishes."

He wanted to kill him by means of assassination, but it turned out to be self-defeating, and King Yan was self-defeating. Jing Qing felt ashamed and ashamed. Hearing Qi Tai's advice, he also stood up and said to Zhu Yunwen: "The king of Yan is insidious and cunning. I am afraid that Zhang Rui and Xie Gui will not know the true face of King Yan, and it will be difficult to guard against King Yan's tricks, so please go to Beiping to assist the two lords, hoping that the imperial court will issue an order to capture King Yan on the spot!"

"Okay!" Zhu Yunwen praised: "I'm thinking about the officials in Peking, and they were misled by the false image of King Yan. Jing Aiqing went to Peking in person, so I can rest assured. Then I will appoint you as the chief secretary of Beiping, so I will keep an eye on it." King Yan!"

Fang Xiaoru cupped his hands and said: "I have another suggestion. The emperor can select some officials who are loyal to the country and entrust them with the duties of interview envoys. Let them patrol the world, ask the people about their sufferings, inspect the officials, and denounce corruption. Your Majesty Just ascended the throne, with these ears and eyes can understand the people's sentiments in the world, and at the same time... they can also secretly investigate the illegal activities of the kings. If there is conclusive evidence, the court's cutting down the vassals will not be like cutting down the Kings of Zhou, King Qi, He was so passive when he was acting as king."

Zhu Yunwen said with deep emotion: "Mr. Xiaozhi is right. With such a multi-pronged approach, why worry about Yan Fan being immortal! Just as Mr. said, we will send virtuous people to interview the world. As for the candidates for the interview, please ask Mr. Xiaozhi and the master to help you." I intend to choose!"

Within a few days after King Yan arrived in Beijing, there were many disturbances one after another. Zhu Yunqi couldn't bear it anymore, and he was perfunctory for a few days, and then beat him away like a plague god.

King Yan left Jinling safely, and he couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, but at the same time he fell into deep disappointment. His real purpose in going to Beijing this time was to use the power of public opinion and the affection of his uncle and nephew to impress the emperor and make him Dispel the idea of ​​exterminating the feudal lords.

But this goal was obviously not achieved, Zhu Yunqi has been perfunctory him, avoiding the matter of the three kings being demoted.Not to mention that Jinling failed to dispel the emperor's idea of ​​cutting the vassal, if Yang Xu hadn't passed on the news secretly, he would have almost died under the assassination of a hidden arrow.The dignified Son of Heaven used such a low-handed method. It seems that the Emperor is not only determined to kill the kings, but also unscrupulous.

Zhu Di finally began to consider the possibility of rebellion, which was the only way he could go besides restraining himself.However, with no soldiers and no power, what would you use to fight the emperor?Although Zhu Di has fought countless battles, he has never fought a battle with such disparity in power and such a dangerous situation. On the way back to the north, Zhu Di fell into deep contemplation.

At the same time when King Yan returned to the north, Song Zhong, Xu Kai, Geng Yu and other governors had already received the imperial decree and led their troops to Kaiping, Linqing, and Shanhaiguan. After receiving the order from the Ministry of War to relocate Zhangde and Shunde, the whole guard officers and soldiers collectively relocated.

A few days later, Jing Qing, the imperial envoy of the capital, was appointed as the counselor of Beiping's chief envoy, and took office immediately.The imperial envoy was more than a head taller than the chief envoy of the chief envoy, and Jing Qing was the emperor's confidant, and he had never heard of any fault with him, but he was demoted and moved to another place, and the place he went to was Beiping?

This most obvious signal made the court, Chinese and Wu all understand one thing: King Yan's adventure to go south to have a showdown with Emperor Jianwen had already been a complete failure.The emperor's heart to cut the feudal clan has never wavered at all, and the imperial court will continue to go down the road of cutting the feudal clan.

After another half a month, Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng carefully selected a list of 24 people and submitted it to Emperor Jianwen. Zhu Yunwen immediately issued an edict announcing the dispatch of 24 people including Shangshu Baozhao of the Ministry of Punishment, Shiro Xia Yuanji of the Household Department, and Xu Simian in the matter. Acting as an interview envoy of the imperial court, he patrolled the world on behalf of the emperor, asked about the suffering of the people, inspected officials, and denounced corruption.

These actions were all in Xia Xun's eyes, and he was also secretly preparing: once he had clearly defected to King Yan, how would he ensure the safety of his family; if King Yan entrusted his three sons to him, how would he ensure that they would return north safely?It is actually not easy to make some moves under the noses of others.

In the afternoon of this day, Xia Xun was on duty at the Yamen, when suddenly an edict came from his inner servant ordering him to see him.Xia Xun's official rank is not high, but he took over Luo Kedi, and now he is in charge of arranging the palace guards and ceremonial guards on duty. He is not a big official, but he is a close minister of the emperor, and he has the opportunity to see the emperor at any time Yes, this point is indeed beyond the reach of many court officials.

As soon as the emperor summoned her, Xia Xun didn't know the reason, so she immediately followed the lady into the palace, and made inquires on the road, but the lady didn't know whether she didn't know the reason for the emperor's summons, or whether Fuzi's death frightened them He didn't dare to say much at all. Seeing that he couldn't find out anything, Xia Xun had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

Walking along the imperial road, I suddenly saw a civil servant walking towards me, muttering something, and I don't know what he was muttering. Xia Xun saw it and recognized Huang Zhen, the imperial envoy. He was ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang to go to Jinan to inspect the arrest of the Bailian sect bandit, so he was an old acquaintance. Xia Xun hurriedly informed the inner servant, and asked him to wait, then went up to Huang Zhen and greeted Huang Zhen with his fists clasped: " Master Huang, it's been a long time."
