If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 250
After leaving the villa where the emperor was, Ji Gang quickly found a clean silk handkerchief to cover the wound on his head, his face so cold that he could scrape off a layer of frost.

He found his men and said viciously to everyone: "Someone in the capital is tampering with the court's news in order to incite public opinion and force the palace. Therefore, the emperor has an order to arrest the mastermind behind the spread of rumors and false news within three days and bring them out of the capital." Those involved in this matter!
If no one is caught within three days, my head will have to be moved, and your heads will not be safe either!Get everyone moving!No matter what means I use, I want to see the person within three days! "

A group of Jinyi guards did not dare to neglect, and immediately dispersed and began to arrest people in Qufu City.

The Jin Yiwei of the Yongle Dynasty did not monitor the ministers as closely as the Hongwu Dynasty. Someone even drew pictures of who the ministers saw and did and presented them to the emperor. However, the Jin Yiwei of the Yongle Dynasty did not lose their ability to eat.

In particular, Ji Gang has always dreamed of setting off a major case like the Hongwu Dynasty, so that the Jinyiwei's prestige would be the same as before, so that the courtiers would change their expressions upon hearing this, and even have to write a suicide note before they dare to go to court.

How could this skill of collecting information and making a living be thrown away?

Even if it is not as powerful as the Hongwu Dynasty, the nearly all-pervasive Jinyiwei intelligence network in the legend of later generations is not a decoration.

So after Ji Gang gave the order to use whatever means necessary, the information he needed was quickly gathered into his hands, and then there was another big search across the city.

I have to say that Qufu has been very unlucky during this period. The emperor was assassinated and the whole city had already been searched once. Now, just two days after it stopped, the Jin Yiwei came to search the whole city again. How can there be a saint in the entire Qufu City? What does the hometown look like?

There was a trembling sound everywhere in the city, and even the shops on the street were closed. A gust of wind blew, and not a single dog was seen from the street to the end of the street.

The only living creatures that can be seen in Qufu City now are either soldiers wearing armor with nervous expressions on their faces, or guards in brocade clothes with sinister faces and embroidered spring knives to arrest people.

However, for Zhu Zhanquan, no matter how bad the atmosphere in Qufu City was, it would not affect him, so he still had time to take Lan Qier and Hu Shanxiang out of the city to ride horses and relax.

However, Zhu Zhanyu had this leisurely intention, but Lan Qier, who knew what had happened, was a little worried and tried to dissuade Zhu Zhanyu: "Your Majesty, such a big thing happened in the city, and you still came out to ride a horse. Isn't that right? Is there something not so good?"

Although she was not very clear about the rules and customs of the Han people, Lan Qier could guess how big of a deal it was for the emperor to be assassinated.

At this time, Zhu Zhanquan did not arrest the assassins in the city, but instead took him out to ride horses. It was a bit inappropriate no matter how you put it.

However, Zhu Zhanjun said indifferently: "The people below will naturally do the things in the city. If I, the prince, have to do everything, why should I support them?"

After saying that, Zhu Zhanqun whipped his whip, and the horse immediately started running.

Seeing this, Lan Qier quickly urged her mount to follow. "Your Majesty, I heard that someone in the capital is spreading rumors to harm you. Why aren't you worried at all?" Lan Qier followed Zhu Zhanyu and asked him with concern.

Although they haven't married yet, Lan Qier is also the future concubine of Prince Zheng. Naturally, she already regards herself as a member of Prince Zheng's palace and is very concerned about Zhu Zhancheng's affairs.

Although the Ming Dynasty, like the previous dynasties, did not allow the harem to interfere in politics, that was the custom and rule of the Han people. For the Mongols, women could actually enjoy a high status in the tribe and even become the leader or leader of the tribe. of.

So Lan Qier didn't think there was anything wrong with her caring about this matter, and even according to the Han family's custom, it was reasonable for the prince and concubine to care about these things.

"This matter is just some scheming people who want to harm the country. The imperial court has sent Jin Yiwei to search for them. As long as they are caught, I naturally don't need to worry too much about this matter." Zhu Zhanqi expressed his indifference. Feng Qing, in fact, he is not worried about this matter: "The emperor is here in Qufu, and my eldest brother, the emperor's grandson, is here. Under the command of Jin Yiwei, in addition to unjust, false and wrong cases, there will be unjust and false cases. Even with nine heads, he didn't dare to let go of a relevant person.

In other words, for him, being able to catch more people can prove that his dog is still useful to the royal family and will not be slaughtered for meat.

As for the capital, my father is the prince who oversees the country. Which one in the court, from the six ministers to the cabinet bachelor, is not from his prince's family?It would be fine if the incident in Beijing didn't alarm him, but if it alarmed my father, it wouldn't make any waves at all. "

Zhu Zhanquan was very worried about his chubby prince father.

During the Yongle Dynasty, Zhu Di made five northern expeditions. In which of them did Zhu Gaochi not use his position as prince to supervise the country and stabilize the rear?
Don't you think that there were no troubles in the Yongle Dynasty? When Zhu Di went to the north, all the civil and military officials in the dynasty were united and worked together to fight the war of overthrowing the country, right?
If the prince hadn't been able to keep things under control, would Zhu Di have gone on five expeditions to the north?It would be nice to have the same Great Wall defense battle as Xuande.

It was precisely because there was someone at home who would not cause trouble that Zhu Di dared to go on a personal expedition as the emperor. Otherwise, even if he wanted to go, the ministers would not dare to let him go easily!

This is a war, not a joke, and Zhu Di is a real leader who can lead the charge personally. If he is killed on the battlefield, the Ming Dynasty will have to go through the turmoil of the Tumu Fort Incident in advance.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince? Your Majesty, are you saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can solve this matter? But I heard that rumors are flying all over the capital. Everyone says that it was your arrogance and domineering oppression of the Kong family and your instigation to the emperor to abolish the title of Holy Duke Yan of the Kong family that caused this. There are righteous people who couldn't stand it and want to assassinate you, but they were led to assassinate the emperor because of your confusion and suspicion!" Lan Qier didn't just stay in the room during this period, waiting to marry and become Prince Zheng's concubine. , she naturally has her own means and can get a lot of information.

It's just a pity that the news she heard has been passed down through countless hands, and it has almost changed beyond recognition: "Some people even say that the assassin who assassinated the emperor was a soldier trained by you, the prince, in order to assassinate the king and kill him. Peiping himself has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and there will be another Jingnan..."

"What nonsense is this? Don't listen to such boring rumors. Just stay calm. I dare to bet you that this matter will be solved in a short time." Zhu Zhanchen did not put those boring and boring rumors at all. Taking the outrageous rumors to heart, if he really wanted to rebel and become emperor, there would be too many opportunities.

And even if he really wanted to be the emperor, could his eldest brother and his father still be able to compete with him?
