I am the king of the dead

Chapter 837 It's like a cat's paw scratching in my heart

Li Wen said respectfully: "I always carry one with me, and I am always alert."

After Li Wen finished speaking, he took out a red cloth-wrapped head card from the upper lap, showed it to His Majesty, and carefully put it away as if he was afraid of being snatched away.

Zhu Qiyu almost laughed at this, this is the Juxian Pavilion of the Daming Lecture Hall, he is a majestic Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how can he still grab your brand?
This is his last time!

Li Wen's action was completely subconscious. This was the first merit card he obtained after he caught the spies in the Shaanxi Xingdusi, and it had a different meaning to him.

At that time, Li Wen still felt that His Majesty's establishment of this set of reward plates was just for show. Who would care about such a plate made of gold, silver and copper?
With a powerful family background, how many of these lottery-style brands should there be?

But later Li Wen slowly discovered that he could avoid evil spirits with this merit card on his body.

Why are there so few lives under the frontier officials and frontier generals?As he grows older, it may be the fear of death that makes Li Wen occasionally dream about those enemies he killed, chasing after his soul and life. This kind of nightmare has troubled Li Wen for a long time.

Later, after Li Wen got the top card, he was surprised to find that he had never had such a nightmare of evil spirits taking his life again.

Think about it for a while, after all, His Majesty is the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu, and the magic weapon bestowed by him has the effect of calming the mind, isn't it reasonable?
Li Wen has kept it very well since then, and kept it close to his body.

In fact, Li Wen knows that those nightmares are mental illnesses. How many people believe in Buddhism or Daoism and believe in Nestorianism. In fact, the letter is just for peace of mind. Wearing this reward card on his body is peace of mind. He knows what he is doing for. Fighting, untied this knot.

Later, Li Wen gradually discovered the preciousness of merit cards. Minggongs in the court can count those with extraordinary merit cards in one hand, and those with top merit cards are only three digits, which is a symbol of status.

Now, Li Wen discovered that this reward card can not only avoid evil spirits, not only identity, but also a life-saving thing. It turns out that holding the card can really save your life with His Majesty.

"That's good, put it away. In the future, if your descendants are unfilial, you can sell it for some money." Zhu Qiyu explained with a smile: "After all, it is a gift from the emperor, and it has some value among the people."

"Your Majesty... I dare not." Li Wen hurriedly bowed his head and said.

The merit card was still useful during the Jingtai period, but what about in the future?

After His Majesty's Dragon Yu is the guest, will the owners of these reward cards become a thorn in the side of the new emperor, a thorn in his flesh?The new emperor thought he was taking credit for his arrogance, and his courtiers had no heart of obedience, using merit to restrain the imperial power?

After these medals have witnessed a period of history, they will slowly settle in the long river of history, quietly telling the story of that extraordinary period.

Maybe an unworthy descendant will really sell it off.

Li Wenhe told His Majesty what he had seen and heard about Xingdusi in Shaanxi. The Hexi Corridor was the fortress in the northwest of Ming Dynasty, and the importance of Jiayuguan was self-evident.

Chatting and chatting, Zhu Qiyu found all the cognitive differences between himself and Li Wen.

From Zhu Qiyu's point of view, the Western Regions must be the four corners of the Ming Dynasty, but Li Wen didn't think so.

In Li Wen's view, the land in the Western Regions is a mess. The land is barren and the people are not happy. There is neither fertile nor fertile land. The Ming Dynasty occupied Jiayuguan, but the northwest was safe. With such a large piece of land, there is depth, but in terms of defense , also increased many, many pressures.

Li Wen's point of view is not a minority, or even a majority, in the imperial court and in Daming.

The DPRK and China support the transformation of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division to Gansu, support His Majesty's reopening of the Western Regions, and support the Ming Dynasty to increase its influence on the ground in the Western Regions. However, when the Western Regions were to be incorporated into the four directions of the Ming Dynasty, when the Western Region Xingdu Division was established, there was a lot of opposition from the DPRK and China. .

In short, negative equity.

The Western Regions are not the Hetao, the land of the Hetao is fertile, and Xu Youzhen has managed the water conservancy of the Hetao, the Hetao has become a pearl on the plug.

But what about the Western Regions?
Even a hundred Xu Youzhen can't handle the natural conditions of the Western Regions.

Zhu Qiyu chatted with Li Wen for a long time before letting Li Wen leave for the official residence. Li Wen's Gaoyangbo Mansion had already been cleaned up in Yongfang when he was young.

After Li Wen left, Zhu Qiyu fell into deep thought, thinking about who the ghost was.

The Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty was to reopen the Western Regions, and He Lin held such a force as the Ara Zhiyuan. Even if Daming got the Western Regions, he would not be able to hold it. most of the area.

Regardless of the strategic vision of the benevolent father Stalin, the vision of the Soviet General Staff, which has experienced World War II, is definitely not wrong.

"Who gave Ara Zhiyuan the guts?" Zhu Qiyu kept knocking on the table. Lu Zhong and Li Yongchang made a lot of progress, but they were all faint clues.

"Your Majesty, Ye Bu received the pond newspaper. Ye Bu received some news from Helin Tan." Xing'an put a pond newspaper on the table, which was just sent by Jin Yiwei.

Daming's pier Yuanhou is still active, and has not slackened any slack because of Walaxi. Like Daming's armaments, this is one of the confidence of Daming's Northern Expedition. To some extent, these people who went deep into the camp to inquire about news The piers are far away, and they are more important than armaments. They can bring the most important chips and information on the battlefield.

Zhu Qiyu opened the pond newspaper, and after reading it, he said silently: "Go find Master Hu, I'm a little confused."

"It's Young Master Hu?" Xing'an turned pale with shock, his face was distorted in shock.

Zhu Qiyu immediately denied it and said: "A retired old man, what are you thinking! No, I'm not sure, let Master Hu serve as a staff officer. This method is what Master Hu is best at."

"Ah, that's good, that's good." Xing'an just took a look at the Tang newspaper. Judging from the description of the Tang newspaper, there is someone in China who communicated with the Ara Zhiyuan, no matter from which angle he looked at it. , have nothing to do with Hu Wei.

Hu Wei has already retired, and now the prince's young master is teaching the prince to read, and he can't promise anything.

When Hu Wei heard that the eunuch was looking for him, he looked at his attic and mansion, and he knew more or less that His Majesty didn't let him move, so that he could be there on call.

After all, Xiao Xun and Yao Kui's partners are not as experienced as Mr. Hu's father, and the two of them are somewhat powerless in this kind of court game.

When Hu Wei came to Juxian Pavilion, he saw the stairs again. Before that, His Majesty was on the second floor. He took a rest at the corner, and later His Majesty moved to the first floor.

Whether it is a means of buying people's hearts, or if His Majesty really cares about his ministers, it is worth Hu Wei's continued service for Daming until his death.

Zhu Qiyu himself forgot about this.

There were many veterans in the court, Zhu Qiyu sat on the second floor all day long, and it was inconvenient for the courtiers to come and go. Xing'an said that it was difficult for Hu Min to go upstairs, so Zhu Qiyu moved down. Anyway, in Juxian Pavilion, no one dared to blame him. .

He didn't know that a very inconspicuous action of his had brought such a big benefit.

"See Your Majesty, is Your Majesty's congratulations?" Hu Yan greeted respectfully, his age has already passed the seventies, and according to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, he has long been qualified to enter the court, that is, not to be polite. But Hu Yi has never relied on the old to sell the old.

Hu Yi has always been submissive, regardless of who is sitting on the throne.

"Zhen'an, sit down, how is Young Master Hu?" Zhu Qiyu asked about Hu's body, Hu's body is still very strong.

Zhu Qiyu and Hu Yan chatted a few words about Zhu Jiancheng's academic problems, and then Zhu Qiyu handed over the Tang newspaper to Hu Yan, and asked Hu Yan to weigh it.

"Your Majesty, after reading this subject, I still say the same thing. If I am a subject, I will do nothing. It will be more convenient to wait for the sun to set before doing anything. If I jump out at this time, it will be the spring snow. When the sun clears, it will melt." .” After reading the memorial, Hu Wei scolded the trickster for being stupid.

Acting according to the trend, going against the trend is doomed to failure. At this time when His Majesty is in full swing, if you do these deeds, isn't that courting death?

"Hurry up, how can they not be in a hurry, they are anxious like a cat's paw scratching in their hearts, they are itchy and impatient." Zhu Qiyu said with a sneer: "Master Hu still remembers that there was a highly respected Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy, who wanted to Want to bury nails in Tai'an Palace, what is unclear with the palace servants?"

"Remember." Hu Wei said suspiciously, "Does Your Majesty doubt Master Wang?"

What Hu Wei was talking about was the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Zhi, the current prince's young teacher, and Hu Wei, who lived in the capital and listened to His Majesty's orders at any time.

Wang Zhi has recently been addicted to fishing and cannot extricate himself.

Wang Zhi was originally the head of the hundred officials, but because he had no idea after the civil engineering change, the position of the head of the hundred officials was handed over to Yu Qian. To this day, Yu Qian still sits firmly in this position, as stable as Mount Tai.

Then Wang Zhi handed over the power of the official department to Wang Ao, completely withdrew from the political arena, and became a teacher with peace of mind. Fishing, it touches on the scenery, which is enviable.

Wang Zhi was born in the Wang family of Langya, this is an out-and-out thousand-year-old family, but later because the court wanted to open the sea, in order to avoid any objection with His Majesty in the maritime trade matter, Wang Zhi simply cut off contact with the family, Anyway, he was originally a side branch, and he was recognized as his ancestor only after he became a Jinshi. He planned to be buried in Jinshan Cemetery after his death, instead of returning to his hometown.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said, "Wang Zhi doesn't have the guts."

If Wang Zhi had the guts, the court would not be where it is today.

"Your Majesty sees it clearly." Hu Wei agreed with His Majesty's words. This Wang Zhi is not as courageous as Hu Wei. At least Hu Wei dared to wash the ground for His Majesty and presided over the court discussion to abolish Zhu Jianshen as the crown prince, but Wang Zhi did not dare to make decisions in the court meeting. The signature was still signed by Chen Xun pressing Wang Zhi's hand.

"Actually, I probably guessed who it was." Hu Wei put down the pond newspaper and said.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "I actually guessed it too, Master Hu wrote it down, let's take a look and touch it?"

"The minister has already written it." Hu Yan shook his hands, and took out the folded note from his sleeve, which obviously had a word written on it.

After all, Hu Wei was getting old, and writing began to feel a little awkward. He asked Hu Changxiang to write this at home, and he also specifically told Hu Changxiang not to go out and talk nonsense.

Hu Changxiang also had something to say, except for a few people, who knew that the imperial physician Hu Changxiang was Hu Min's son?

Even Lu Zicai, the judge of the Imperial Hospital, did not expect that the son of a dignified official from the Ministry of Etiquette would become an imperial doctor in the Imperial Hospital with a lowly career.

Even if Hu Changxiang goes out and talks nonsense, someone has to believe him, right?

Besides, Hu Changxiang just wanted to talk nonsense, how could he know what the word he wrote meant.

"Oh, I don't even know what to say." Zhu Qiyu wrote down a name and handed it to Hu Mui, and then opened Hu Mui's note.

Hu Wei's note has a Zheng character on it, while Zhu Qiyu's note has three characters, Zhu Zhanxi.

Together they are King Zheng and Zhu Zhanxuan.

The contents of the pond newspaper and various clues from the capital all point to this violent personality.

Last time, Zhu Qiyu also sneaked out King Zheng to see if it could be used.

They were all emperor uncles, some emperor uncles became the Zhide princes of Ming Dynasty, and some emperor uncles happily killed themselves while they were still alive.

"I remember that Zhou Ying, the censor of the Anti-Corruption Department, once served as the long history of King Zheng, and also took care of Prince Zheng's mansion many times. Wouldn't it be good to be a prince?" Zhu Qiyu put away the note and gave it to Xing'an, letting Xing'an deal with it .

Hu Wei said helplessly: "The three censors, Zhou Ying, Lian Gang and Zuo Ding, are all in Nan Ya to investigate the fraud in the imperial court during the Zhengtong period. Zhou Ying left Beijing last year, and now no one is protecting Prince Zheng's mansion. "

"Your Majesty, in fact, it may not be His Royal Highness Zheng Wang, but he just took a breath in his heart and happened to be used by some people."

Zhu Qiyu said angrily: "What anger is he holding in his heart? He still has anger? The majestic King Zheng, who is supported by all the people, spends his days looking for flowers and asking Liu to have fun. He doesn't look like a clan member. He insisted on being the first bird, and when I was not in the capital, he went to embarrass the uncle of the emperor, what kind of anger does he have!"

Hu Wei said succinctly: "At the beginning, His Royal Highness King Xiang supervised the country, but he imprisoned His Royal Highness King Zheng for more than a year. Everyone is a prince. Why did you keep Prince Xiang behind King Zheng for so long?"

Hearing what Hu Min said, Zhu Qiyu said angrily, "If you don't mention this, I'll forget about it, and he's angry with the emperor and me because of this? Is he taking national affairs as a trifle? ?!"

"King Xiang locked him up at that time to protect him! If you don't lock him up and let him make trouble, I can only come back and chop off his head. I don't understand anything, just mess around!"

"idiot!"

Hu Yan held his words in his throat, and finally swallowed them down.

Hu Wei actually wanted to say that an idiot like King Zheng, who is full of wine and food, is the common state of the clan. It is God's kindness to pick a King Xiang and a King Ji from the clan.

Those who could not survive were deviant, seeing that His Royal Highness King Xiang knew the destiny, devoted himself to his devotion, and traveled all over the world for the sake of tomorrow, but ignored a basic fact, that is, so far only His Royal Highness King Xiang has the miraculous merit card, while the others have even There are no reward cards.

"Your Majesty, King Zheng is violent, but he can't make such a big game. The person who pushed King Zheng is the culprit." Hu Wei reminded His Majesty that King Zheng was just the one on the table, and there must be someone pointing him behind. The insidiousness and viciousness of this trick is not something that King Zheng can do.

Zhu Qiyu naturally knew that King Zheng was the one who was pushed out, but Zhu Qiyu was angry with this one, and he said with a bit of anger: "I know, I am angry that he is stupid, and he is used by others without knowing it. The water in the court is so turbulent, the emperor can go to Daningwei to drink the northwest wind, isn't he in the capital?"

"But if you catch the vine, can't you touch the melon?"

　Let me repeat again, King Zheng was used by others. The original long history Zhou Ying left the capital and could no longer protect Prince Zheng's mansion. Everyone still remembers that the original long history of King Xiang's mansion was sent back by King Xiang because he persuaded King Xiang to seek a big position. Did you leave the capital?Because of Yao Guangxiao, the Ming Dynasty wanted to be Yao Guangxiao's long history, there are countless.Ask for a monthly ticket, woohoo! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
