Jinyi Night Walk

When Xia Xun heard that Emperor Jianwen was going to see him, he felt rather strange. This Emperor Jianwen had just sat on the dragon chair and was busy with everything, so how could he have time to think of such a small man?It was true that the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind kept blowing, but the tree was a little smaller and the wind was a little bit stronger. Xia Xun didn't dare to neglect, and hurried back to the inner house. With the help of a few women, he dressed neatly and led the horse out. Come, follow Liu Yujue out of the house.

Asked along the way, Liu Yujue didn't know the details, but felt that it was an extremely honorable thing to be summoned by the emperor. He envied Xia Xun and was also happy for him.Xia Xun rushed to Jinling City like a gourd, and Liu Yujue had other things to do, so Xia Xun went straight to the Commander Si Yamen of Jinyiwei.

Luo Kedi was dressed in a formal official uniform, with a heroic air in his chic, and when he saw him coming, he smiled slightly and said: "I know your wounds are not healed, but the emperor's summoning is a big matter, and you can't be neglected. Let's go, let's go." I'm going to the palace."

After thinking for a while, he said worriedly: "When you meet the emperor, you can answer any questions you have. Just be sincere and respectful. There is no need to be too panic. The emperor wants to use you to do things. This is also the reason for the rise of Jin Yiwei." At first, you just have to do well."

Xia Xun still didn't understand why, but he couldn't ask Mr. Qian Shi about it, so he agreed and followed him to the palace on foot.

If Xia Xun aroused Emperor Jianwen's interest, it was because of Li Jinglong's memorial.

On the first day of Xia Xun's leave, Huang Zicheng, the emperor's master, invited Zhuo Jing, the servant of the household department, to come over to the mansion for a talk, to drink tea and chat.

Zhuo Jing was a Jinshi in the 21st year of Hongwu, No.2 in the palace examination, second place, erudite and talented, and a famous talent, while Huang Zicheng was the third in the 18th year of Hongwu's entrance examination, third in the palace examination, Tanhua, also a man of erudition and talent, the two of them are friends Always deep.

During the conversation, Huang Zicheng said to Zhuo Jing: "The feudal vassals are in control, which is really a worry in the heart of the imperial court. Although the emperor has reduced their military power, they have led the army for many years, and many generals in the army are soldiers they have led for a long time. , this is very wrong.”

Zhuo Jing and him are good friends, they usually exchange views on government affairs, and they have already reached a consensus that the feudal vassals are strong and will become the source of disasters. Hearing this, he said: "What brother Xing said is true, among the vassals, if In terms of leading troops for a long time, only Yan Fan is the only one, and Prince Yiwen, King Qin, and King Jin have passed away one after another. Leaving Peiping, drawing from the bottom of the pot, can make up for the disaster."

Huang Zicheng said happily: "However respectful words are justified. Today, I am benevolent and filial. I know that the imperial court is in deep trouble, but it is hard to be ruthless because of my close relatives. As a courtier, I should share my worries for you. Brother, I have long been interested in it." The emperor suggested, but why is my brother the emperor's teacher, if I come forward for my brother, it is inevitable that people will misunderstand that it is the emperor's instruction, but can you speak bluntly?"

Huang Zicheng is the teacher of the current emperor, Zhuo Jing understood what he said, and immediately agreed.

Early the next morning, the day Xia Xun returned home on leave, the Tongzheng Envoy's Yamen received a memorial from Zhuo Jing, the servant of the household department. Make a registration, and send it to Da Nei as an urgent document. The eunuch in Da Nei's study room knew that the matter was serious, so he hurriedly registered it in the register, copied a copy, and then sent this memorandum to several important documents that the emperor had no time to deal with. The memorial was submitted to the imperial court together.

Because Jianwen has just ascended the throne, there are too many things to do in order to organize the funeral and establish a new policy, and many memorials will not be approved in the future. Well, the memorandum, which was originally placed at the top, was placed in the middle. As a result, the first thing Zhu Yunqi saw was not this memorandum.

Zhu Yunwen was reviewing the memorabilia, and when he saw the victory report of his cousin Li Jinglong, he deliberately opened it and looked at it carefully. He saw that Yang Xu was mentioned in it, and he felt that this person was very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered the family affairs of the Yang clan back then. When he went to the imperial court, he was the one who said something kind to Yang Xu in front of the emperor's grandfather, and then he was relieved of the siege.

Only later did he realize that his master was on the side of the Yang clan, and he regretted his slip of the tongue at that time, but now it seems that this man is loyal to the country, and he was not wronged if he favored him.Now that the late emperor has passed away, it is inappropriate to praise him wildly, but Yang Xu is dead, and if the court does not express anything, it will inevitably make people feel that the emperor is unkind. For households, one hundred banknotes are rewarded, and ten pieces of silk are rewarded.

Putting down this memorandum, and approving a few more copies, he saw Zhuo Jing's plan to cut the vassal: "...Yan Wang is extremely wise and thoughtful, with great talents, and a cool emperor. Beiping is a resort, and the soldiers and horses are strong. It is the place where the Jin Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty rose. Now it is appropriate to move to Nanchang as the king of Yan. If there is a change, it is easy to control... It is rare for a husband to be young but not to move. It is also possible to measure the time and be right. The power is not strong. It cannot be broken, it is almost impossible to detect..."

Looking at this memorandum, Zhu Yunxuan couldn't sit still. He had just ascended the throne. Although he was looking forward to getting rid of this thorn in his flesh and eyes day and night, he was afraid that he could not wait to mention this matter, making the courtiers feel that the emperor was cold by nature. Now there are courtiers Suggestions in advance, that's all right. I was very happy, and suddenly thought that Zhuo Jing's memorandum was promoted through regular channels. I don't know how many people have read it from the Secretary of General Administration and the Office of Documents. In case someone else has eyes and ears... …

Zhu Yunwen hesitated for a while, and ordered Zhuo Jing, the servant of the household department, to be sent to see Zhuo Jing, and when he saw Zhuo Jing, Zhu Yunwen took the case and reprimanded him: "King Yan is my close relative, how can you make such a suggestion, alienate the royal family, and hurt the feelings of my uncle and nephew? "

Zhuo Jing kowtowed and said: "The Son of Heaven has no family affairs, every move, every word and deed, has nothing to do with the world. The minister's Chen Zuo's advice is the world's best plan. May Your Majesty carefully observe and act."

Zhu Yunwen said angrily: "Nonsense! If the emperor's grandfather saw you alienating the emperor and making such rebellious remarks, you would be beheaded. I think you are wholeheartedly planning for the court, and your loyalty is commendable. Don’t pursue it this time, step down! This memorandum will not be published!”

After drinking away Zhuo Jing, Zhu Yunqi put up the memorial, turned around and went to find Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai's two confidantes.

Move the King of Yan to Nanchang?Then what?

That's too slow!With such a step-by-step process, when will the uncles be cut off?

Zhu Yunwen is a master who has been fighting for the day and night for 1 years. He can't resist the trick of step by step and step by step.Now that Zhuo Jing is gone, he has an upright reason to bring up the matter with his confidants and discuss countermeasures.

After seeing the two close associates of Tai Fu Huang Zicheng and Minister of War Qi Tai, Zhu Yunqi took out Zhuo Jing's memorabilia and said: "You two gentlemen, Zhuo Jing, the servant of the household department, has proposed to cut down the feudal clan and proposed countermeasures. For hesitation, I wonder what the two gentlemen think?"

The two of them read the memorandum, and Huang Zicheng said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the reduction of the feudal clan is imperative, but Zhuo Jing's strategy of relocating the feudal clan is just the opinion of scholars, so it should not be used. I think it is for my Ming Dynasty. The country, the country, and the country will be considered for thousands of years, and it should be done once and for all, so as to eliminate future troubles forever."

Zhu Yunwen happily said: "If you have any advice, sir, please tell me in detail."

Huang Zicheng said confidently: "Now the feudal vassals have obediently handed over their military power, but they are still powerful as they sit in the vassal state. Now that the imperial court is strong, it is natural that there is no danger. If the imperial court becomes weak one day, how do you know that the feudal vassals will not be dissatisfied? Transfer from east to west , Transferring from the south to the north is just an expedient measure. If you want to get it done once and for all, you can cut down on the feudal vassals to the end. Without the body of a king, you will have no capital to rebel."

Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed, but unexpectedly, when asked about the specific strategy of cutting down the vassal, the two confidants held their own opinions and were not the same.

Qi Tai believed that although the feudal vassals had complied with the matter of preventing the vassals from going to Beijing for the funeral and confiscating the military power of the vassals, it was inevitable that the vassals would be somewhat suspicious of the emperor's two actions. A little action will let the vassals understand the real intention of the emperor, and it is inevitable that some people will jump the wall in a hurry.

Among the vassals, Yan Wang Zhu Di is the oldest and most prestigious, and has lived in Beiping for a long time. Although he has been deprived of his military power now, there are still many of his old troops in the army. It has become a great disaster, so if you want to cut down the feudal clan, you should start with King Yan first, and take the lead in solving this biggest threat with lightning speed.As long as the King of Yan is cut off, the rest of the vassals will be in trouble.

Huang Zicheng believed that because King Yan had lived in Beiping for a long time, and there were many subordinates in the army, if he was taken lightly, the risk would be even greater. It is better to appease King Yan first, and at the same time cut off his wings, start with other kings and wait for them The king's capital was cut off, and in the end only King Yan was left alone. He could not fight alone, and the court could capture him without any effort.

Although Qi Tai is also a literati, he was in charge of the army after all, and he knows a little about military affairs. Hearing the foolish opinion of his old friend, he said: "When shooting people, shoot horses first, and when capturing thieves, first capture the king. The king of Yan is the king of all. He is the leader and the most powerful, if Yan Fan is removed, the rest of the kings will surely be discouraged, how dare they regenerate their hearts of disobedience? This is a decisive move!"

Huang Zicheng said eloquently: "The King of Yan has always been respectful, and he has done nothing illegal. It is so difficult to find fault with him; besides, the King of Yan has made military exploits in his two trips to the fortress. Now that he has been cut without guilt, how can he convince the public? The court rewards and punishes him." All should be done in the right way, and punished without fault, is it the work of the Holy Son of Heaven? Although King Yan is strong, he has not seen any signs of rebellion so far, so cutting him rashly will be hard to stop the mouth of the world."

Qi Tai said: "If you force him against you, what can you do?"

Huang Zicheng smiled treacherously, and said: "First cut off the left and right wings of King Yan. At that time, he will be surrounded by imperial soldiers and horses. What kind of troubles can he cause? If he really turned his back then, wouldn't he It just happens to give the facts? Dayi is on the side of the court, and we are famous as teachers, so why not just get rid of him!"

Qi Tai just wanted to be successful in cutting down the feudal clan, but Huang Zicheng thought too much about it. He wanted to cut down the feudal clan in a way that was justifiable and confident, without damaging the reputation of the emperor. To put it bluntly, this is called perfection, having both the fish and the bear's paw. , at worst, this is like being a bitch and setting up a torii.

The two held their own opinions and couldn't settle down. Zhu Yunxuan had no idea. He only listened to what the public said was right, and what the mother-in-law said was right.After arguing like this for several days, the two scholars quoted scriptures and talked endlessly. They looked like rebellious scholars, and they had the virtue of arguing for three years. An angry little daughter-in-law couldn't come up with an accurate idea after all.

At this time, a great Confucian who was admired by Zhu Yunxuan came, and this person was Fang Xiaoru.

Fang Xiaoru studied under Song Lian, a Hanlin scholar who was "the head of the founding officials of the Ming Dynasty", and has been working as a professor in Hanzhong Prefecture, Shaanxi Province since then. He is a ninth-rank official, but his moral knowledge is famous all over the world. After Jianwen proclaimed himself emperor, he was summoned immediately Entering Beijing, at this moment he has just arrived in the capital.

Fang Xiaoru was in his early forties, and described Qing Qu as bookish.Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed when he saw it, and immediately promoted him to three ranks, and appointed him as a lecturer in the Imperial Academy. He has the qualifications to enter and leave the palace, to pay homage to the emperor, and to have a seat in the palace. The sense of knowing each other.

Zhu Yunwen trusted Fang Xiaoru, a great Confucian, and when he saw him coming, he immediately told him what he had discussed with Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, and asked for his opinion. Although Fang Xiaoru was a famous Confucian, after all, his official position was too high Xiao, this is the first time to have a secret discussion in front of the king, so he is a little nervous and panicky. He calmed down, carefully considered the words of Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, and said: "The emperor cultivates Confucianism, cultivates literature, and promotes Wenzhi. The weather is very different from that of the first emperor. Everyone in the world praises it. If we talk about the way of Wenzhi, it is nothing more than the word "li". Yan Fan is strong, but he has no reason to do so. If King Yan is cut off rashly, he will definitely be criticized by others and damage His Majesty's reputation."

He paused, and seeing Emperor Jianwen listening attentively, he nodded slightly. He obviously agreed with the famous words of the teacher, and he was determined, so he continued following this train of thought: "The matter of cutting down the vassals is the most important thing. First get rid of the kings, then It is step by step, easy first and then difficult. Once the feudal vassals bow their heads, no matter how strong the King of Yan is, it will be difficult to win alone! At that time, the emperor will only give a slight hint, and the King of Yan will probably take the initiative to ask for the removal of the vassal. If he really dares to rebel, it will be just as As Master Huang said, what kind of disturbance can be stirred up by leaving a handle on the court?"

Three sets of carriages, two horses to the left, one horse to the left, Zhu Yunwen was a master of the people, and immediately stood on the side of the crowd, nodded repeatedly: "Mr. From whom should the plan begin?"

Fang Xiaoru was away from the center for a long time, and he was only thinking about studying books in Shaanxi. He couldn't help but hesitate for a while when he came up with any suggestions, and looked at Huang Zicheng. , you can cut down the Zhou Fan first. Zhou Fan is the head of the inland vassals, and the country is located in the Central Plains. , King Zhou is the brother of King Yan's mother, and the relationship between the two kings is the closest, if Zhou Fan is removed, King Yan's arm will be cut off, and the power will be further weakened."

Hearing Longyan's great joy, Zhu Yunwen quickly asked: "A wonderful plan, a wonderful plan, I have the help of Mr. Xiaozhi, Mr. Yixing, and Mr. Shangli, so why worry about the big thing not being done."

The plan has been decided, and it is time to deal with the king of Zhou, but although the king of Zhou is not as cautious as the king of Yan, it is not easy to find out some crimes against his king, but the king of Zhou went to Fengyang privately during the Hongwu period. This is a major crime that can be regarded as treason, but Emperor Hongwu was still there at that time. Although he severely reprimanded his son, he didn't go into details. How can we bring up the old matter now?

Zhu Yunwen thought of Jin Yiwei.Luo Kedi couldn't help being overjoyed to be summoned by Emperor Jianwen. He had known that the new emperor would cut down the feudal clan after he ascended the throne, and he would definitely use Jinyiwei at that time, but he didn't expect the emperor to be so impatient. He was ready to do it less than a month after he ascended the throne.

Zhu Yunqi immediately sent Luo Kedi, and immediately asked him to investigate the crimes committed by King Zhou, and Luo Kedi readily agreed.Zhu Yunqi was still not at ease, and said again: "This matter is very important. You are the current head of Jinyiwei, and you can't leave the center easily. Who will you send to handle this matter?"

Luo Kedi said: "The subordinates of the minister have a general banner, surnamed Yang and Mingxu, with a calm personality, experienced in handling things, and can be a great leader."

"Yang Xu?"

Zhu Yunwen suddenly thought of the memorial he had seen two days ago, and wondered: "Didn't Yang Xu die in the battle on Shuangyu Island, and there is another Yang Xu in your Jinyiwei?"

Luo Kedi quickly said: "Your Majesty, there is only Yang Xu in Jinyiwei. At that time, the court navy really thought that he had died for the country. Who knew that he was so lucky that he was seriously injured and survived. He fell into the water and drifted, but was rescued by a fisherman." Since then, he will be raised for many days, but he has recovered his life.

Zhu Yunwen said in his heart: "Yang Xu, a survivor of Jiujiang, joined the gang of bandits in Shuangyu as an internal response. He was able to act among the bandits without showing his feet. Competent." He nodded joyfully and agreed.

Then he thought that he had just been enthroned, and the popularity of the people was not enough. For such an important event, he should meet this Yang Xu.At the beginning, Yang Xu had a conflict with his family and was almost imprisoned, but he rescued him with a single word. If he was called here and encouraged by himself, wouldn't Yang Xu be grateful?Naturally smashed to pieces to repay the king's kindness.Having made up his mind, Zhu Yunqi finally stated his intention to ask Luo Kedi to bring Yang Xu to face Jun.

In this way, Xia Xun had Long En, the holy family member who entered the palace to face the saint.

Xia Xun returned to the palace this time, but the owner has changed here. Looking at the halls, pillars, plants and trees in the palace, Xia Xun felt sad in his heart.

The emperor who makes people tremble at the first glance, the kind and peaceful old man in front of his young daughter and grandson, no matter whether others slander him or praise him, fear him or respect him, his distinctive personality charm is amazing. Unforgettable, I just went to Hangzhou once, and when I came back, that mighty man had turned into a piece of loess, walking in the palace, things are right but people are different, it really makes people feel that life is impermanent .

When Xia Xun followed Luo Kedi down the corridor in the palace, Zhu Yunqi was discussing politics in the Jinshen Hall.

In all honesty, Zhu Yunqi really wanted to do a great cause that would be beneficial to the country and the people, and to achieve the great cause of a generation of emperors, but his new policies were not completely useless, but no matter it was compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's old-fashioned wisdom , or compared with Zhu Yuanzhang’s experience of coming from the people and being familiar with the people’s conditions, he is far behind, so many policies either lack foresight, or are deceived by the civil servants, selling some private goods to the emperor, but he does not know the truth .

For example, at this moment, after agitating the emperor to abolish a large number of salt and tea tax bureaus and criminal examination yamen, the officials of the DPRK and China, mainly officials from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, started to propose land tax.

Several officials from Jiangsu and Zhejiang surrounded Zhu Yunwen, and first flattered and praised how the new policy after Jianwen proclaimed himself emperor was a new look, like nectar, how the people all over the world rejoiced. The nonsense made Zhu Yunwen smile and really think that he is a sage in the world Now, the topic turned to Jiangnan taxes.

The taxes in Suzhou, Songjiang, Huzhou, and Jiaxing in the south of the Yangtze River are higher than those in other places, because these areas are the most affluent. Of course, some people say that Zhu Yuanzhang set the taxes in these four places particularly high because they are here. It used to be Zhang Shicheng's territory. Zhu Yuanzhang regretted that the people in the south of the Yangtze River supported Zhang Shicheng, so he punished him after the founding of the country.

However, when Zhu Yuanzhang had only one corner of the land, the world was divided into fragments and each had its own master. According to this statement, almost every force, every rebel army, including the Northern Yuan Dynasty, had their bases at that time, and Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to punish them. , To be punished with heavy taxes, it seems that except for the piece of land he owned at the beginning, heavy taxes should be collected everywhere.

Moreover, the tax rate in the Ming Dynasty was extremely low. Whether it was land tax or commercial tax, it was [-] per cent. The heavy taxes in wealthy areas such as Suzhou and Songjiang were relative to this general tax rate. The above four areas have always been Jiangnan and even The wealthiest regions in the entire world, it may not be necessary to say that this "heavy tax" is so heavy that these regions cannot bear it and hinder the development of local economies.

It is precisely because these areas are rich that people have money to send their children to study. There are the most scholars here, and the corresponding number of officials in the court is also the most. Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang was still alive, he made a rule: officials from Suzhou, Songjiang and other Jiangnan areas It is forbidden to serve as an official in the Ministry of Households, because in several major anti-corruption cases of the imperial court, "The subordinate officials of the Ministry of Households are all the big traitors in eastern Zhejiang, and in the caves, they move up and down, and use their hands. And they are good at calculating, and they regard the chief Like puppets", Zhu Yuanzhang worried that they would control the finances and favor their hometown, thus sacrificing the interests of the court.

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang is dead, Zhu Yuanzhang Hongwu, Zhu Yunwen Jianwen, it can be seen from the year name that he wants to do the opposite and create a great cause that is different from Naizu. These officials are ready to move and talk in front of Zhu Yunwen The heavy taxation in the south of the Yangtze River has caused the people to suffer unspeakably, and the people are in dire straits. They ask the emperor for mercy and reduce the taxes in the south of the Yangtze River.

You must know that there is a difference in heavy taxes in the south of the Yangtze River. The tax on the civilian land there is not high, and the high tax is on the official land. This is also in line with the rules since ancient times. Gao, after the calculation, the vital interests of their family are extremely important.Zhu Yuanzhang knew the details, so no one dared to ask him to reduce or exempt the Jiangnan tax, but Zhu Yunqi didn't know these things. Hearing what the officials said was reasonable, he couldn't help nodding.

The little Fuzi who was serving Emperor Jianwen was pouring tea for the emperor. Hearing these officials say that the situation was so miserable, it was a bit too exaggerated. , but it is fair to pay grain taxes like Sichuan, Shaanxi, Yunnan and Guizhou? If the people in Songjiang, Suzhou are so miserable, wouldn’t the people in Sichuan, Shaanxi, Yunnan and Guizhou starve to death long ago?”

An imperial envoy was furious when he heard the words, and sternly reprimanded: "Bold, an eunuch, dare to discuss government affairs indiscriminately? When the first emperor was alive, who would dare to do this? Are you bullying my emperor's weakness?"

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, his face turned red, and he patted the table and said: "You bastard, who asked you to interrupt!"

Xiao Fuzi is an eleven or twelve-year-old child. First he was scolded by the minister, and then he saw the emperor getting angry. In a panic, he knocked over the teacup, and the hot water flowed out onto Zhu Yunwen's thigh, making him jump up. When he got up, Xiao Fuzi turned pale with fright, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground, kowtowing again and again: "The emperor spares my life, the emperor spares my life, slaves talk too much, slaves talk too much." As he spoke, he slapped himself hard.

Zhu Yunxuan was cut off by his words. He was already furious, but when he was scalded by boiling water, he became even more furious. He shouted sharply: "Pull it down, pull it down, and pull down this eunuch who talked about government affairs and broke the rules. Beat to death!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life!" Xiao Fuzi was frightened out of his wits, two warriors rushed into the door, and dragged him out without any explanation.

A speech officer said contemptuously: "The body is hair and skin, and the mother who received it, these eunuchs self-mutilate their bodies, are unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent, unrighteous, limbs are incomplete, and hearts are incomplete. How can there be a good thing?"

Another person said: "If a little servant says something casually, the crime may not lead to death, but the emperor can prevent eunuchs from interfering in politics and prevent eunuchs from poisoning. This will be of great benefit to our great Ming Dynasty."

At this time, he was flattering, and there were already sound of blowing sticks and Xiao Fuzi screaming in pain, Zhu Yunwen shouted angrily: "Pull away and fight!"

He brushed off his robes, sat down again, took a few breaths, and then said: "My dear friends, please continue."

Zhu Yunwen was taught by his master since he was a child, and he hated eunuchs for doing harm since the Han and Tang Dynasties. He had a kind of discrimination and contempt for eunuchs from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't treat them as human beings.It is said that Jianwen is benevolent, but his benevolence is divided into targets. When Zhu Yunwen issued an edict to implement lenient government and provincial prisons, he also issued an edict to the local area. Send the capital to be severely punished.

After his decree, many officials who committed crimes were changed from capital crimes to felonies, felonies to misdemeanors, and misdemeanors to acquittals.But at the same time, his discipline of eunuchs was more severe than that of Zhu Yuanzhang. Benevolent government also has different standards for different objects, but the pen is in the hands of civil servants, and civil officials all say that he is benevolent, and if they say it a thousand times, he will become a living Bodhisattva that benefits everyone.

When Xia Xun and Luo Kedi walked outside Jinshen Hall, they saw two guards, one holding his ankle and the other pulling his hair, nonchalantly walking out with a bloody corpse. Yes, a distorted and pale face hangs outwards, Xia Xun glanced at it, suddenly shook his body, stopped abruptly, and said in a voiceless voice: "Little Fuzi! Two brothers, this... what's going on? "

Xia Xun has not been on duty in the palace for a long time, and the two guards on duty today didn't recognize him, but seeing that he was wearing a flying fish robe, he was Jin Yiwei's brother, so he politely replied: "Who knows that this little eunuch because of What offended the emperor, if the emperor ordered to kill him, then kill him."

"Your Majesty..., Xiao Fuzi..." Xia Xun's throat was choked up, and he couldn't speak a word.The two guards nodded politely to him, and dragged the corpse out. Xia Xun turned his head and looked far away.

"Yang Xu!"

Someone called him from the front, Xia Xun turned his head and saw Luo Kedi standing still, looking at him sternly, with a very displeased expression, so he gritted his teeth and followed with his head down.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Well, according to the opinions of all the ministers, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the only ones to pay attention to, and it is advisable to learn and reduce them. The mother must not exceed one fight, so it is decided."

Zhu Yunwen's coffin was concluded, and all the officials quickly complimented and praised him. The purpose was achieved, and then he retreated according to the etiquette, and then a servant reported tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Luo Kedi and Yang Xu are waiting outside the hall."

After hearing this, Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "Tell them to come in!"

Luo Kedi and Xia Xun entered the Jinshen Hall one after the other, and bowed to the young emperor. Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "Aiqing is flat."

He looked at Yang Xu and said, "I met you before the late emperor. At that time, you were on duty in the palace?"

Xia Xun's face turned slightly pale, and he bowed expressionlessly and said, "Yes, the emperor has a good memory. The minister was just a guard in front of the palace at that time, but the emperor remembered it in his heart."

Zhu Yunwen saw that his face was pale, his expression was solemn, and his voice was a little stiff. He also thought that he was a little nervous when he saw him, and he was very proud of himself, so he laughed and said: "The late emperor is much more serious than me. I really don't know that you are in front of the late emperor. , how did you survive? Don’t be so terrified. You and I have long been destined. Remember, you had a conflict with the Yang clan because of your parents. Spoken words of justice for you."

Xia Xun leaned back and said: "The emperor's benevolence, I will remember it in my heart."

Zhu Yunxuan looked serious, and said: "You can fight against the coercion of the family because of the grievances suffered by your parents. I have recommended you to me to do a major event for me that is related to the well-being of the country and the people of the world, are you willing?"

Xia Xun pouted her buttocks upright, and said firmly: "The emperor orders, and the minister will serve wholeheartedly!"

Inside the Huagai Hall, Qi Tai said to Huang Zicheng: "Brother Yi Xing, I heard that the emperor used Jin Yiwei to investigate King Zhou?"

Huang Zicheng flipped through an official letter, without raising his head, he said: "Make the best use of everything, and make the best use of people's talents, aren't they... just suitable for these things?"

Qi Tai frowned and said: "But Jin Yiwei..., this group of vicious eagles and vicious dogs, once they are used, it is inevitable... I also heard that the person who was sent to preside over the matter was the student who tricked you , that Yang Xu who greatly humiliated you in court?"

Huang Zicheng raised his eyebrows, slowly closed the file, raised his head, stroked his beard lightly, and said slowly: "Shang Li, have you forgotten how Mao Xiang and Jiang Yu died? Is it the eagle dog? The cunning rabbit is not dead, what about the eagle dog, let it be arrogant for a while, so what!"! ~!
