Jinyi Night Walk

If he could be attached to Jin Yiwei, it would be a bright way out for Xia Xun.

But as soon as Feng Zongqi opened his mouth, Xia Xun knew that he was lying. It didn't matter if he was lying. What mattered was how big a secret the lie was hiding. What will happen to those who participate in its secret?Let it go!

Before Jinyiwei, the only comparable organization was the edict prison of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At that time, there were 26 edict prisons, and hundreds of high-ranking officials such as county guards and Jiuqing were detained, affecting more than [-] people. , Everyone who sees it changes color.But this imperial edict did not run through the entire Han Dynasty, and few people in later generations knew about it, but Jin Yiwei was not. Even those who are not familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty, who has never heard of them.

Zhu Yuanzhang is a man of great wisdom. He knows why he has to use heavy punishments, and knows when to restrain severe punishments. General Sapphire, and even the powerful officials and relatives who he thought would pose a major threat to Zhu Ming's world, after killing all of them, he said: "When we are in troubled times, the punishment must be severe. For children and grandchildren who rule in peace, the punishment should be light." Since then, the tiger has been locked in a cage by him.

According to Feng Zongqi, Jinyiwei was not cut off from power, it was only the emperor who turned the light into darkness because of the uneasiness of the officials. Is this Zhu Yuanzhang's style?Not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang's going his own way and acting vigorously and resolutely, any emperor would use such a weak method when it comes to issues involving imperial power and rebellion, sending a few small fish and shrimps to secretly conduct reconnaissance, and even had to spend a lot of trouble How about recruiting a local gentry to get closer to the target?Only a real illiterate countryman would believe such absurd nonsense.

In the historical materials of later generations, from the 26th year of Hongwu when Zhu Yuanzhang seized the power of Jinyiwei until Emperor Yongle revived Jinyiwei, the records about Jinyiwei during this period are blank.If Jin Yiwei really turned light into darkness, they still possess great power and are still carrying out various activities in secret. Little bit of records.

Therefore, Xia Xun came to the conclusion that what Feng Jianxiao said about their origins was not true. Their activities in Qingzhou may not be legal, let alone follow the imperial order.

Immediately afterwards, on the way to unload the Shipeng village, Zhang Shisan lied to Xia Xun's heart that the case did not involve King Qi, and the reason why the emperor wanted to do it secretly was because Zhu Zi, the king of Tan, was involved in the rebellion of his brother-in-law. For fear of being implicated and punished, he committed suicide.The emperor was worried that Qi Wang Zhu Yu would follow in the footsteps of his eighth younger brother, so he ordered Jin Yiwei to do it secretly.

As a result, Xia Xun also had deep doubts about their purpose.Because by coincidence, he happened to know that Tan Wang's self-immolation was definitely not because of his brother-in-law's rebellion. Even if the whole world didn't know the real cause of Tan Wang's death, the kings might not know it, especially Zhu Yuanzhang. I will not believe the nonsense he announced himself.

Regarding Zhang Wang Zhu Zi's death, according to the official statement, it was because his elder brother Yu Hu was accused of being part of Prime Minister Hu Weiyong's party, so Tan Wang feared and committed suicide.There is another folk saying that Zhu Zi's mother is the current emperor's concubine Dingfei. She was originally Chen Youliang's empress Dalan. After Dalan became pregnant, she became Zhu Yuanzhang's concubine. Zhu Zi was actually Chen Youliang, the emperor of the Tianwan Empire. The posthumous son of Zhu Zi, Tan Wang knew his true life experience, so he wanted to rebel, the emperor sent troops to arrest him, Zhu Zi was unwilling to be defeated and humiliated, so he burned himself to death.

The whole story is well-written, even Concubine Da secretly enjoins her son to avenge her father, Zhu Zi accumulates salary and burns the palace, and how to scold in the fire when the fire broke out, the plot is vivid and lifelike.It's really hard for those people who believe that no one remembers how others know these details?

Zhu Yuanzhang's concubine Dalan is indeed Chen Youliang's empress. As early as in Zhu Yuanzhang's "Da Gao", he had personally admitted this to his subjects all over the world. In the 14 years of driving, I have never captured a woman in the army. Only after the capture of Wuchang, because I was angry with Chen Youliang and repeatedly attacked each other, I took his concubine and returned."

For this reason, this rumor is quite confusing. The common people do not know the exact ages of these princes and which imperial concubine they were born to. Many people believe it. Even if they don't believe it, they are willing to spread it.People have a curiosity-seeking mentality, and the more absurd something is, the more vitality it has, so the more unreliable rumors are spread.

In fact, Zhu Zi was born six or seven years after Chen Youliang's death. The time of birth did not match at all. What's more, he had a brother who was a compatriot with the same mother. If Chen Youliang really has a posthumous child, it should be his brother Qi Wang instead of Tan Tan.

It is precisely because there are two versions of the cause of death of King Tan, the official history and the unofficial version, that historians of later generations have conducted research on it.The research results are surprising: the rumor that Tan Wang is Chen Youliang's posthumous son is certainly not credible, and the official cause of death is also untenable!

Xia Xun is very interested in gossip and novelty news. He happened to read this analysis article back then, and remembered the main content of that scholar's research.

The scholar first listed his reasons in the article. According to the scholar, although Zhu Yuanzhang was ruthless, he was very protective and tolerant towards others, but he was very protective and tolerant towards his own son. It can be seen.

When Tan Wang's uncle was accused of being part of Hu Weiyong's party, Hu Weiyong and the main officials involved in the case had been dead for ten years. Years ago, when he was not related to Tan Wang, his official position was even smaller. Is such a small official qualified to participate in Hu Weiyong's rebellion?What major repercussions can there be if you participate?

Most importantly, will Zhu Yuanzhang's own son commit suicide because his brother-in-law is a traitor?Don't forget that Prime Minister Li Shanchang collapsed because of the Hu Weiyong case. Li Shanchang was listed as a heavy criminal of the Hu Party. Only four people survived in his family of more than 70 people. These four people are Li Shanchang's second son Li Qi, his wife and their two children. child.

The reason is that the daughter-in-law of the Li family is Zhu Yuanzhang's daughter, so Zhu Yuanzhang pardoned his uncle and two grandchildren.Uncle and his own father are rebels who rebel against the party. Uncle can be exonerated. His biological son, his elder brother, is a rebel. What can Zhu Yuanzhang do to his son?How could a prince be so frightened that he committed suicide in a panic?

This reason does not hold water at all.The scholar extensively collected a large number of Ming Dynasty official documents, local government annals and other historical materials. As a result, he discovered a major fact, that is, the self-immolation of Tan Wang took place on the first day of April in the 23rd year of Hongwu, and at that time he Yu Hu’s brother-in-law hadn’t been found guilty yet, that is to say, when Tan Wang Zhu Zi was afraid of self-immolation because his brother-in-law was a Hu Party member, his brother-in-law was still serving as a commander in Ningxia. Someone reported him.

This is strange, the eldest brother-in-law has not had an accident yet, why is his brother-in-law Tan Wang happily self-immolating?

This biggest flaw was ignored by people at that time because of the communication conditions and the efficiency of news dissemination.If the official does not inform you of the specific information, you will not be able to grasp the specific situation. In this way, when the official notified the two cases, the specific time of the two cases was intentionally vague. As a result, even most people at the time could not see question.

There are very few people who are qualified to grasp the intelligence materials before and after Tan Wang’s self-immolation, and among the very few people who are interested in combining these materials for analysis and seeing the strangeness in them, there are even fewer people. There are very few people, and the few people left are all officials serving in the center of the imperial court. Who would be impatient to live and make these doubts public?Therefore, the official account of Tan Wang's death not only deceived countless people, but also many officials and gentry believed it to be true.

However, the scholar discovered this unquestionable contradiction after consulting a large number of files and government records. Of course, the scholar did not verify the real cause of Tan Wang Zhu Zi's death. It can be buried in the history of Haohan for a long time, but his analysis from the two aspects of emotion and reason completely overturned the official answer of the Ming Dynasty. Xia Xun took the road of being a policeman. His analysis of the problem is more rational, so Firmly support this scholar's textual research.

In fact, in that scholar's textual research article, he also mentioned the strange identity of the person who reported Yu Hu's treason, and the confession was full of loopholes, but this was no longer within the scope of novelty hunting, and Xia Xun didn't pay attention to it.It's a pity that Zhang Shisan was dying, and Xia Xun didn't corroborate the problems he discovered one by one, otherwise, maybe he would have uncovered the eternal mystery from Zhang Shisan's mouth.

Because Zhang Shisan was one of the very few people who knew the real cause of Tan Wang's death. He was Luo Qian's confidant, and he had personally heard Mr. Luo mention it...

Yes, King Tan did not fear suicide because his uncle was involved in Hu Weiyong's rebellion case. The real reason for his suicide was to mess up the court.

Zhu Zi, the king of Tan, is gentle, handsome, proficient in poetry and poetry, and rarely acts domineering or disturbing the local area in the vassal state, so he has a very good reputation.As a feudal lord, it's okay to be fond of female sex. As long as he wants to, there are plenty of stunning beauties for him to take advantage of. The problem is that this flirtatious seed is so bold that he dares to hook up with women in the palace.

Tan Wang had forged a relationship with many court ladies before the feudal clan, and the love of the feudal queen still missed them, so he often used the opportunity of pilgrimage to go back to Beijing to hang out with them, because the confidentiality of the matter gradually leaked out The sound of the wind was detected by Jin Yiwei, and it was reported to the emperor in secret.Theoretically speaking, the court ladies are all the emperor's concubines. Such an act of rebellion is an unforgivable crime for Zhu Yuanzhang, who attaches great importance to the order of feudal etiquette. In anger, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Jin Yiwei to declare Zhu Zi to return to the capital. .

Zhu Zi is well aware of the crimes he has committed. He knows that once he goes to Beijing to testify, he will be indisputable. Even if he does not die at that time, he will be sent to Fengyang by his father and imprisoned in the high wall of Fengyang for the rest of his life. Within, in desperation, he died.

Jin Yiwei originally wanted to bring King Tan back to Beijing and be sent down by the emperor, but who knew that he committed suicide first, and died so violently that the whole world knew that a prince had set himself on fire.I have to give everyone a reason for this?And the scandal of the prince's co-education with the court lady really couldn't be brought to the table, so in desperation, Lord Luo who presided over the matter racked his brains to link Zhu Zi's death with the Hu Weiyong case.

That is to say, Yu Hu, the eldest uncle of King Tan, is a terribly unlucky guy who has been wronged. His so-called participation in the rebellion is simply a victim of Jin Yiwei's efforts to save the face of the royal family.It wasn't that he was suspected of treason and scared his brother-in-law Tan Wang to death, but his brother-in-law Tan Wang committed suicide, so he became Hu Weiyong's accomplice.

After the court arrested him, he immediately announced that he was a traitor, and concocted witnesses and confessions, but did not disclose the time of his crime, only saying that his death scared the king of Tan to death, and Yu Hu's reputation was too small When the imperial court said so, everyone believed it. No one studied whether the history and reasons of his accusation could stand up to scrutiny, and no one confirmed that when King Tan set himself on fire, this Commander Yu who was far away in Ningxia Has been arrested.The matter ended here, and there were very few insiders, and no one dared to express their doubts. No matter what, Zhang Shisan never thought that a blind man in the countryside of Huzhou would know the truth of the case.

The origins of the four of Feng Zongqi may not be legal, and their purpose is even less upright, and the fact that they forced Xia Xun to sign the murder confession was a big failure. It prompted Xia Xun to make up his mind: if he is not his puppet, he must be killed.

According to their own words, they are the majestic Jinyiwei, they came out of Beijing on a holy mission, and they investigated a major case of rebellion. For such a group of imperial envoys, if they want to control a person like Xia Xun, do they need to let him keep something?Using such low-level means can only show that their identities and behaviors are not visible, and it also shows that all their promises to Xia Xun are castles in the air.

This is clearly telling Xia Xun that no matter whether their plan is successful or not, Xia Xun has only one ending: to become the target of Jin Yiwei's silence like that girl Tingxiang who unfortunately knew that the real Yang Wenxuan was dead. Well, these Jinyiwei who regard human life as nothing, are not philanthropic, they will keep his life.

There is nothing more superfluous than this.

Therefore, Xia Xun's plan to kill and fight back has been planned since then.He knew that when a small employee who messed up an errand finally found a remedy, he would not tell the truth to his superiors. This is human nature.Moreover, in the later exchanges, Zhang Shisan and the others faintly revealed the idea of ​​coveting the Yang family's property. Since they had ulterior motives for the Yang family's property, they would not tell others about Xia Xun's true identity .

Therefore, as long as Xia Xun kills these four people, he will be able to survive, and it is very likely that he will replace Yang Wenxuan and get the most lucrative reward.

If he wanted to kill four people, he couldn't make them doubt him before killing them all. In this way, he needed ample freedom of movement, so Xia Xun chose to do it as soon as he was recognized by the Yang family. Get rid of Zhang Shisan who is like a gangrene.

He is an innocent gentry, he is a scholar with fame and fame, everyone in the pavilion outside can prove that he has never left this room, he is taking a bath, and there is no murder weapon on him.So the government will never suspect him.Feng Zongqi will not doubt him even more, because he has just arrived in Yang's mansion, and all the witnesses cannot be his accomplices. If Feng Zongqi is not too forgetful, he will think of the incident that happened in Yunhe Town not long ago. The murder..."

Zhang Shisan died. From the beginning to the end, he didn't understand how Xia Xun saw through their conspiracy. Like the Tingxiang girl, Shisanlang was destined to be a fool on Huangquan Road.

Xia Xun jumped up and began to arrange the scene calmly. Clothes boxes, hangers, the floor... everything was arranged in the shortest possible time. He checked it again with his professional eyes. After confirming that there were no flaws, Xia Xun grabbed the clothes hanger and put it on hand, took a long breath, and shouted loudly with a voice slightly inferior to that of Miss Xiaodi: "Help! Help..."

At this moment, Zhang Shisan only breathed out but not breathed in, his eyes were slack, and he was not dead yet...

Xia Xun waved the clothes hanger, like a panicked rabbit, jumping up and down to fight desperately with the invisible enemy in the air: "My adventure has begun!"

There are many dangers and murderous intentions at every step, but once he succeeds, he can become a superior person. This rich reward is worth his risk.

Now that the adventure has just begun, the excitement in Xia Xun's heart is no less than the first time he climbed into his girlfriend's bed...
