Jinyi Night Walk

Xia Xun suddenly remembered something. In his fragmented memory, there seemed to be a touching story. He remembered who did it. Individuals are Zhuo Jing, Jing Qing, and Lian Zining.These few should have been locked in prison, but now that Jing Qing has been released, could it be...

"what happened?"

Although Ming'er held her head up proudly, trying not to squint her eyes, she could see the changes in Xia Xun's expression. She knew that Xia Xun must be thinking about something when she showed this expression, and she wanted to be reserved at first. One hand, but after all, it is a girl's heart, so she couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.

Xia Xun pondered for a while and said, "Let's stop by the Jinyiwei and have something to explain."

"Okay!" Ming'er nodded meekly.

She would not argue with Xia Xun when he was doing serious business. Although Ming'er was still young, she was a child of a noble family, a girl raised by a wealthy family, and she still had a good view of the big picture.

Xia Xun smiled, turned to the guards and said, "Go to Jinyiwei!"

If it was Jing Qing, would the assassination still happen?

Will do!

There are some things that he cannot change, such as a person's character, a person's life value orientation, which Xia Xun cannot affect.He didn't want to get involved in the political purge that Zhu Di would inevitably use after he ascended the throne, but he couldn't be sure that if he ignored it, whether the assassination that had never been successful in history would not succeed this time.

Because, although he can't affect people's character and orientation towards the value of life, he can't control the behavior of some people, but through his role and influence, some specific and subtle historical events will undergo slight changes, time changes, If the location changed and some objective conditions at the time of the incident changed, the success or failure of the whole incident might change, so he had to remind Ji Gang.

If Ji Gang could find out the problem before Jing Qing entered the palace, find out the weapons, and minimize the impact of the assassination, then this disturbance could be minimized.

Ji Gang is busy in Jinyiwei. Last night he didn't go back to his residence at all. He regarded this Jinyiwei as his home. He selected a group of people from Yu Ding, a military household who signed up to join Jinyiwei, and called them early this morning. Come on, after another interview and verification, I will be on duty immediately and arrange an appointment.

He originally wanted to use newcomers for all the people, because such people are more adjustable, more malleable, and can guarantee their absolute obedience to him.However, in order to meet the emergency, he had to select another group of people from the Tianwei generals transferred from the palace, and these people could be used immediately.Fortunately, the news that Liu Yujue's two guard commanders were incapacitated and imprisoned has spread among Jinyiwei, which served as an example to others.

Although Ji Gang is busy, he is in a good mood. Every time he makes an order, a group of people will immediately do it. One of his decisions can arrange the fate and future of others. Comfortable.

Ji Gang was busy with his head, when suddenly someone came in and announced: "Report to Commander-in-Chief, Duke Fu is here."

"Oh?"

When Ji Gang heard this, he quickly got up in his clothes, and walked out quickly to welcome him. Xia Xun was walking in with a smile. Seeing Jin Yiwei who was in a hurry, he said to Ji Gang with a smile: "It is said that the new official takes office three fires, Your fire is burning really well."

Ji Gang rushed forward to meet him, and said with a smile, "I don't know anything about the humble job, I'm just busy, but the Duke of Jiaoguo laughed at me."

Before he bowed down, Xia Xun took a step forward and supported him, and said with a smile, "I'm not an outsider, so I don't need to do such a great gift."

Ji Gang smiled, then stood up, and stepped sideways to say: "Please come in, my lord, come in, let's have tea!"

He let Xia Xun into the study, served tea, sat down at ease, and said with a smile: "The humble job just took over Jinyiwei, and I have never been an official before. I don't have a clue about many things. I planned to figure it out , go to visit the Duke again, why don’t you come here, if there is anything, you just need to be summoned, and I will go to the Duke to listen to the instructions.”

Xia Xun quickly waved his hands and said, "Hey, you and I have an unusual relationship, so don't bring out the red tape in the officialdom. Let's talk happily as usual."

As he said that, he turned solemn, leaned slightly, and asked Ji Gang: "Brother Ji, how much do you know about the current situation of the people in the 'Traitor List'?"

Ji Gang was startled, not knowing why he was asking this question, but it was inconvenient for him to ask, he just thought for a while and said: "There are a total of 29 people on the list of traitors, some of them have not been caught yet, like Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai; Some have committed suicide, such as Wang Shuying and Huang Guan; some have given extrajudicial favors, only dismissed from official positions, and have not been imprisoned, such as Changxing Marquis Geng Bingwen, only 14 people and some of their family members were actually imprisoned."

Xia Xun was a little surprised, and couldn't help but glance at Ji Gang attentively. Although he asked, it was just a topic, and he didn't expect Ji Gang to understand it so clearly.You know, it is not Ji Gang's responsibility to arrest and detain these people. Ji Gang has just taken over the Jinyiwei, and he has not even deployed his manpower. Make these inquiries clear.No wonder this person can be reused, this ability is really extraordinary, he does not rely on the credit for leading the horse and falling stirrups for King Yan back then, but because he really has the ability.

Ji Gang finished speaking: "Why did the Duke suddenly ask about them?"

Xia Xun said: "Then, do you know that some of these 14 people have already been released?"

Ji Gang didn't know why Xia Xun came here, and he was a little nervous at first, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Oh, so it was for this matter. Hehe, I know that among the 14 people, a total of six were released."

Ji Gang had never served in the court before, and he was not familiar with the officials in Beijing and China, but he was so familiar with him, he answered very fluently: "These six people are Jing Qing, Feng Wanshun, Shi Yunchang, Xu An, Zhao Qing, and Zhou Xu. As a memorial to their crimes, Master Chen Ying of the Metropolitan Procuratorate requested an order to pardon them, and they were just released from the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice today."

Xia Xun really looked at him with admiration. Regardless of whether Ji Gang has a good or bad reputation in history, he is definitely a capable official, not a mediocre idiot. I feel more at ease.

Xia Xun nodded and said: "What I want to tell you is about them. Palace guards, imperial guards, court guards, these are the duties of Jin Yiwei. Therefore, you are in charge of the imperial guards now. ?”

Ji Gang said: "Yes, the arrangement and adjustment of the guards in the palace are all in the charge of the humble staff. The rules in the palace cannot be easily changed. Although the guards have been replaced by the elite of Yanshan's three guards, everything still follows the old rules. Taking over, he just followed the steps and did not dare to change."

Xia Xun said: "Yes!"

Ji Gang couldn't help asking: "Duke, is there anything wrong with these aspects?"

Xia Xun thought to himself: "In order to appease Jianwen's old ministers, the emperor did not commit mass killings after he ascended the throne. It is very different from the folklore. This is a good thing. For the sake of the "Battle of Jingnan", everyone except Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru, and Qi Tai These three people deserve to die, and they have to die if they don't deserve to die. Even if other officials refuse to plead guilty and surrender, the emperor will not easily become murderous. It is estimated that they will end up in prison, exile, or even just dismissed from office and sent back to their hometown. But if someone Pretending to surrender, but secretly stabbing him with a sharp blade, I'm afraid it will arouse the emperor's murderous intent, this matter must be stopped!"

Seeing Xia Xun groaning silently, Ji Gang couldn't help asking, "Duke?"

"Oh!"

Xia Xun came to his senses and reminded solemnly: "Brother Ji, I came here today because I suddenly thought of something. These people were all hardliners who advocated the destruction of the feudal clan. Now they are asking the emperor to surrender, maybe they are sincerely surrendering. However, it cannot be ruled out that some of them harbor evil intentions and pretend to surrender, but they are actually looking for an opportunity to assassinate the emperor. Now that you are in charge of the palace guards, you must be vigilant against these surrenders who have just been released from prison."

Ji Gang was stunned and said, "Is the Duke worrying too much? If they are willing to plead guilty, they will turn their backs again? Jianwen has already set himself on fire, so who do they pledge allegiance to? Don't they think about their parents?"

Xia Xun said: "I'm not afraid of [-], just in case, but this is always my worry. It's groundless and unfounded. It's not easy to tell the emperor. You are in charge of the palace guards. If someone really has ulterior motives and hurts the emperor , you can hardly shirk the blame, you and I are friends in times of need, remembering this incident, I come to remind you."

Ji Gang thought for a while, and felt that the emperor's safety was of great importance. Although this kind of thing is a bit absurd, it would be a big deal if he had to be on guard just because of Yang Xu's idea. He nodded cautiously, but after thinking about it, he felt a little embarrassed, and said: "Duke, there is no reason for a body search for all officials to go to court. If some of them really have ulterior motives, even a lowly official can't guard against it."

Xia Xun said: "The first one, of course, is to ensure that His Majesty is safe, so, for the general standing in the hall and the four guards with swords in front of the imperial steps, you should choose guards who are vigilant and skilled in martial arts, and specially remind you, so that you can Guarantee His Majesty's safety to the greatest extent. As long as His Majesty is safe, there will be no serious problems.

One more thing, these people are all civil servants, if they carry a sharp knife in their arms, and they do such a big thing as assassination, no matter their behavior or demeanor, they must be a little different from usual. You can arrange the responsibility of discipline... No!Go in person and observe how these officials go to court. If there is something wrong, search your body immediately. "

Ji Gang nodded again and again: "That's right, what the Duke said is reasonable, and the humble official will do as he pleases!"

Xia Xun smiled and said: "They are all civil servants, there are warriors guarding the palace, and the officials are a certain distance away from the imperial case. They want to assassinate the emperor? It is rare for Jing Ke to get close to the head with a map like Jingke. Not to mention them, but if there is a disturbance in the Golden Palace, it will damage the face of the emperor after all. Therefore, if you can stop this matter in advance, the emperor will definitely praise you for your ability. If this is what I worry about Well, there's nothing to lose, it's just that you, Brother Ji, have to get up early for a few days, so you won't be able to sleep well, hehe..."

Ji Gang became excited when he thought about being able to show himself capable in front of the emperor, rubbed his hands together, and said with a smile: "Yes, I know about this matter, I will start to deal with it immediately."

Xia Xun stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, seeing that you are very busy now, I won't bother you. Please take this matter to heart!"

"The humble official understands! Duke, don't rush to leave. No matter how busy things are, when the Duke comes, those things are nothing to worry about. The humble official will accompany the Duke to have a few drinks, but we will not meet for some days."

Xia Xun said with a smile: "No, no, I still have something to do. I have to go to the Prince's Concubine's Mansion. Let's meet again some other day."

After hearing this, Ji Gang didn't want to keep him anymore, so he sent him all the way out of the Yamen.

Xia Xun is indeed busy with his own affairs these days, but he also deliberately doesn't want to mess with the emperor's purge of the old ministers, but now that he thinks of this matter, whether it's for Emperor Yongle or for those Jianwen old ministers, he wants to put this Things stop, let it disappear into the invisible.

If it was really Jing Qing who wanted to assassinate him and was caught before entering the court, the emperor would not lose face or face, and he would only kill Jing Qing alone, so he would not be angry.It is always good to do less crimes.Ji Gang is very shrewd. Looking at it today, he is far more than shrewd, he is simply a shrewd ghost. Since this incident has reminded him, with Ji Gang's shrewdness, he should be able to do it very satisfactorily.

The matter had already been explained, and after witnessing Ji Gang's shrewdness, Xia Xun felt relieved. The two walked out of the Jinyiwei Yamen talking and laughing. When they arrived at the door, Ji Gang was startled. The princess is waiting there.

Ji Gang had met Ming'er in the small village at the foot of Cigrand Mountain back then. When he saw the little princess riding on a horse, he quickly looked serious, walked up to him, bowed to his head, and said respectfully, "My lord, Ji Gang, see you!" Pass the princess."

"Master Ji, no courtesy!"

Ming'er responded lightly, lifted the whip lightly, and it was regarded as a gift, Ji Gang didn't dare to say more, Wei Wei twice, and stepped aside.

Xia Xun said: "Okay, brother Ji, you are busy with business, so I will send you off without trouble." Then he turned on his horse and bowed his hands to Ji Gang.Ji Gang immediately took a step forward, and a long bow almost reached the ground.

"Duke, let's go!"

Ming'er said something softly to Xia Xun, and the two left with their attendants.

Ji Gang straightened up slowly, looking at the backs of the two with mixed expressions.He was very familiar with Xia Xun. He was just a scholar in Putai County and Jinan City.Later, even though he was Xia Xun's subordinate in Feilong Secret Spy, he didn't have much awe.

That's why Xia Xun just said that there is no need to see him, so he followed the good example, except that he still called Xia Xun the Duke of the Kingdom, and it was inconvenient to call him by his name, but his attitude and demeanor were as calm and at ease as before. Okay, I didn't follow the official rules to stand behind half a step.

Now he respectfully salutes the Princess, who sits on the horse without moving, but lightly raises the whip, which is regarded as being polite to him.But according to their status, it's not considered rude.But for Xia Xun, she was very respectful!

Besides, Xia Xun, when he came to the yamen to discuss matters, the emperor's sister-in-law had to wait for him outside, what a style!

Comparing the two, Ji Gang began to realize the difference in status between the two. On the one hand, he was more envious of Xia Xun's success. I don’t know what’s good or bad, but if you call him brother and brother, that’s the Duke of the state, how can you compare?”
