Jinyi Night Walk

Liu Yujue was not in the city when Xia Xun was arrested.

Because the firearms craftsman was not safe, he set it up in a mountain valley far away from the city. When he heard the news that Xia Xun had been arrested and sent to prison, he was so anxious that he immediately returned to the city and rushed to Jinyiwei like flying.

In Liu Yujue's mind, anyone who enters the imperial prison, no matter whether you are a general or a minister, will be tortured. If Ji Gang doesn't miss the old love, I'm afraid Xia Xun has suffered enough by now, so he rushed in to have a look. Xia Xun was drinking some wine and playing chess, looking at ease, so he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Ji Gang smiled and said: "You guys chat first, I'll go out for a while!"

Ji Gang turned around and left, Liu Yujue hurriedly grabbed Xia Xun to ask questions.

After hearing what happened in detail, Liu Yujue couldn't help scratching her head.He frowned and thought for a long time, and said, "Master, the other party has evidence and physical evidence, and even detained a boat full of people and goods. This matter is really tricky. But since the emperor has not yet tried the case, let You can do something in advance to keep the country as public as possible. There is a son here in the humble position, I don’t know if it’s feasible.”

What Liu Yujue said was actually similar to Zhu Gaochi's idea, and it was a trick commonly used by high-ranking officials: Gecko Docked Tail!

From Liu Yujue's point of view, the other party has evidence, physical evidence, and even detained a whole boatload of people. It is almost impossible to reverse the case.

He also didn't know if there was someone around Xia Xun who had suffered for the Lord, or someone who could pass all the responsibility to the past and make the other party indisputable. He even told Xia Xun that if there was really no suitable candidate, he would be willing to serve as the Duke Take the blame.Just tell him what he should know, so as not to let him know.

Liu Yujue revealed his true feelings, and Xia Xun was very moved when he saw it. In his opinion, although Ji Gang took good care of him, some of it may not be out of old affection, but Liu Yujue is the one who does not care about any interests and wholeheartedly for him. A good brother who intends to.However, he had already made arrangements for this matter, and there was no need for Liu Yujue to be involved.

Xia Xun said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I have already arranged for someone to do it. You see, I have not suffered any crimes here, so there is no need to worry. I am the Duke of the state, and I will not be punished without teaching. If you interrogate me, you will have a chance to reveal the truth, hehe, these few days, you should just cultivate yourself here!"

Liu Yujue was dubious, but seeing that Xia Xun was not panicked and calm, he had no choice but to listen to it.

The two chatted for a while, Ji Gang turned back in a hurry and said, "Duke, there are people from the palace, and I am announcing you to the palace for an audience."

When Ji Gang went out, he sent his confidants to send out the news that Xia Xun had decided to support His Royal Highness. He didn't want to bump into the person sent by the palace, so he quickly steadied the person who came, saying that he came to the prison to pick him up in person, and then drove away return.

Xia Xun frowned slightly and said, "So fast?" As he spoke, he walked forward.

Ji Gang said with a low smile: "Presumably His Royal Highness has persuaded the Empress to persuade the Emperor to change his mind. Duke, you are right about being humble. No matter how you choose, Your Highness will help you."

Xia Xun said: "It must be, then... I will go to the palace now."

He paused, looked at Ji Gang again, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, please report back for me. Right now, Yang Xu is the target of everyone's criticism. It is not appropriate to go to see him. We can wait for this matter to be settled, when the weather is calm..."

Ji Gang understood, nodded and said: "I understand!"

Xia Xun is a duke of the state, a courtier of the emperor, and his relationship with the prince is relatively detached. Now that he has agreed to support the eldest son of the emperor, he is like Zhu Gaochi's servant, so he should naturally show due respect.

When Liu Yujue heard that the emperor called Xia Xun into the palace, she was very nervous at first, but when she saw the two whispering, although she couldn't hear the content clearly, the two looked peaceful and not nervous, presumably there was no danger, so she calmed down.Stepping forward, he said, "Duke, please be careful, I'm here waiting for news from the duke!"

Ji Gang said: "Okay, you go and sit in my yamen, I will send the Duke into the palace!"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Xia Xun entered the palace, wearing a crumpled and buried prison uniform, with disheveled hair and a few straws in her bun. She looked so down and out, so pitiful.It took less than a quarter of an hour for the prison boss to dress him up.

Most of the guards in the palace knew this Lord Fuguo, who was from the Jinyiwei system and had been in charge of the imperial palace. Seeing him like this, they all looked at him with sympathy. Companion to the king is like a tiger!Suddenly, they were no longer envious of others' success.It's just that people go to high places, and I don't know if their awareness can last until tomorrow morning when all the officials gather.

In the hall, Zhu Di was reviewing the memorial.

Every day, he would spend most of the day in the morning, and spend the afternoon in the Jinshen Hall until he finished handling the high-level memorials on his case.Although this throne is a throne that countless people yearn for, if one wants to be a capable emperor, it is actually not as easy as an idle prince.

"Your Majesty, bring it here with Yang Xu!"

Mu En stood at the door and reported, Zhu Di raised his head and ordered: "Bring him in!"

Mu En responded, and after a while, Xia Xun led Xia Xun into the hall. Xia Xun stepped on the threshold, his lips trembled, and when he looked up and saw Zhu Di, he immediately took three steps forward, lifted his robe, and cried on the ground: "My humble minister Yang Xu, kowtow to the emperor!"

When Zhu Di saw Xia Xun's tearful and choking wimpy look, he couldn't get angry. He put the pen on the pen holder with a click, and snorted heavily: "You also know that you are afraid? Knowing today If it is wrong, why should it be wrong at that time?"

He slapped the imperial case and said sadly: "I was in the Golden Palace back then, and I sincerely told Jingnan ministers not to be arrogant, let alone arrogant! Did you hear that? I hope to be with you The monarch and his ministers are in harmony, I hope that your glory and wealth can rest with the country, but what have you done?"

Zhu Di stood up abruptly, and said sharply: "Do you still remember that I said that the monarch responds to things on behalf of the heavens, and once he sits in the country, he is not only the monarch of his subjects, but the monarch of the whole world, and everyone in the world belongs to the monarch." People, you can't be biased. Do you have to be severely punished if you commit crimes? If you come to see me, if you just want to beg me to forgive you, then there is no need to say it!"

He glanced at Xia Xun again, slowly raised his head, and said sadly: "The country is ruthless, and the ghosts of tens of thousands of people in Xiangshan County are watching from the sky. I can't forgive you. The only thing I can do is to keep your family safe." Worry-free, you...you can rest assured!"

Xia Xun came in without calling for grievances, and deliberately showed a tearful virtue. Zhu Di, who was already preconceived, misunderstood him, thinking that as expected, Xia Xun did everything possible to see him. It is sad.

Xia Xun thought to himself when he heard this: "His grandma's acting is too much!"

He quickly wiped away the tears that he had smothered, and said in amazement: "How can I be guilty? I asked to see the emperor today, but I didn't want to beg the emperor to forgive my sins. I... Since entering the palace, I have called myself a humble minister, not a self-proclaimed Criminal!"

"Ok?"

Zhu Di suddenly turned his head to look at Yang Xu: "You...don't you beg me to forgive you?"

Xia Xun kowtowed and shouted loudly: "I am not guilty, I am wronged!"

Zhu Di's eyes flashed, and he asked anxiously: "Then the Luzon businessman said he was protected by you and trafficked in private goods, isn't there such a thing?"

Just as Xia Xun was about to speak, he suddenly showed a vigilant look, and glanced left and right at Zhu Di. Zhu Di understood, and waved his hand, and the maids and maids waiting in the palace retreated. Song merchants are indeed under the protection of my ministers!"

"Ok?"

"Your Majesty, not only the Luzon merchants, but Korea, Japan, Ryukyu, Annan, and Manlaga all have several merchant ships under the protection of my ministers!"

When he said this, Zhu Di stopped being angry. Obviously, there must be a limit to his feelings.He looked Xia Xun up and down, walked back to the imperial case and sat down, and ordered: "Get up, and tell me the reason!"

"Yes!"

Xia Xun stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have commanded the flying dragon by imperial decree, and have been in charge of detecting Jianwen's whereabouts."

Zhu Di's eyes flickered for a moment, but he didn't speak. He was not afraid of Zhu Yunqi, but Zhu Yunqi was indeed a heart disease of his. The power of this heart disease was not Zhu Yunqi, a trash, but the orthodoxy he represented.Thousands of people point out that there is no problem, even in modern times, there is no ruler who doesn't care about talking about right and wrong, let alone that era.

Xia Xun said: "For Jianwen's business, I went to Qiongbi and fell to Huangquan. I searched all over the world and found many news about his whereabouts. However, I confirmed them one by one, and they were all lost. Later, I found a clue that someone once Not long after His Majesty ascended the throne, he took a boat out to sea from Fuzhou, Fujian Province. Those people were rich, including frail scholars, and old and beardless people. Their physical characteristics were very similar to the people I pursued. Therefore, I need to confirm whether he escaped or not. Overseas!"

"overseas?"

Zhu Di's eyes flickered, and he nodded slowly: "Yes, I won the world, and I can only escape my pursuit by fleeing to the sea. In the Tang Dynasty, the bearded man failed in the hegemony, and went overseas to kill Fu Yu. Self-reliance, could it be..."

Xia Xun said: "But even if it's only in my Ming Dynasty, with Feilong's current power, the emperor's eyes and ears can't be seen anywhere far away, let alone overseas foreign lands. The ministers can't reach them, even if they can send a few people to foreign lands A foreign country is no different from working needles in a sea, but it will be different if there are local people to help.

It is much easier to let them help to find out a few foreigners who suddenly settled there.But to let them be used by the emperor, it is necessary to grant them some benefits. The emperor also knows that there are some smuggling businesses on Shuangyu Island, the roads are barren, and more than [-] people depend on it for their livelihood.The minister just gave ready-made foreign businessmen a promise to coax them to work for the court! "

It is impossible to find a few smugglers from the smugglers who were originally fixed in Shuangyu for their own use, without some competitive products.Guochao is an official-based society. Even now, if you want to take a stake in some big company, outsiders don't need to know, and ordinary employees don't need to know. Can the chairman of those companies not know whose child he is?

However, the Luzon businessman was unexpectedly robbed and revealed his identity. This was indeed beyond his expectation, so Lu Mingzhi was indeed showing off a bit.

But since it happened, let's solve this problem once and for all, that's why Xia Xun said the above.

Although he had the purpose of seeking personal gain, but when he searched for the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen, he did have clues that Zhu Yunqi might have fled overseas, and Feilong's people had indeed inquired about foreign businessmen who were related to him, and asked them to take care of him. News about people who moved to the Ming Dynasty.These two things were being done at the same time, and the search for Zhu Yunqi was recorded in the files, so the emperor would not be afraid to investigate.

Zhu Di really didn't expect to get such an answer. No wonder Xia Xun would rather go to jail in front of Chen Ying, Ji Gang, and Mu En than tell the real reason. Unless he met himself, it turned out that he was actually for... …

For a while, Zhu Di didn't know what it was like. After a while, he regained his composure and asked, "Then, Xu Hu of Shuangyu Island once gave you a gift and made friends with you. Is there such a thing?"

Xia Xun said: "There is a gift, if the few fresh fish and two lobsters he gave to the minister are considered important gifts. Ah! No, there is indeed an important gift!"

Xia Xun patted his forehead, as if remembering something, and said: "If you want to talk about a great gift, there is one, Xu Hu gave me a three-foot-high coral! However, although this coral is a treasure to the inlanders, Rare things are really nothing to people who have lived on the island for a long time, if it is a gift, then this is the only thing I have ever received!"

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and asked slowly: "You remember correctly? The account books found by the Taicang guards are more than that!"

Xia Xun smiled wryly and said: "This is the first time I heard that a group of big bosses who were born in pirates have the habit of keeping accounts. I am a real gold and not afraid of fire. If this account book is true, it is Xu Hu's forgery; if This account book is fake, so..."

Zhu Di immediately heard his subtext, and suddenly thought of more far-reaching issues. He suddenly realized that under the thick fog of this public case, he did not know how many scandals were hidden.

After a while, Zhu Di asked, "What do you think about Shuangyu Guard's collusion with Japanese pirates?"

Xia Xun immediately said: "I don't know, the people of Shuangyu Guard are recruited by me, and they have a closer relationship with me. But I really have no reason to care about what Shuangyu Guard is doing all day long. However, Yichen is right The Shuangyu Guards understand that because of the emperor's kindness, they allow the merchant ships of the Shuangyu Guards to come and go, so that their families have no worries about food and clothing. Even if they receive some disrespectful treatment in terms of armaments, they will not oppose it!"

Zhu Di's complexion changed, and he glanced at Xia Xun again, and said slowly: "Going in, you need a name; coming out, you also need a name. You have to suffer some grievances, and stay in the prison for another two days. After two days , the Third Division and the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion are trying this case, I... let Gao Chi and Gao Xu supervise the trial on my behalf, and when it's time, I will return your innocence."

"Sir, obey the order!"

Xia Xun bowed to the ground, and when he looked up again, Zhu Di's expression seemed to have dimmed a lot.

Coming out of the palace, Ji Gang, who was waiting outside the palace gate, couldn't wait to greet him: "Duke, how are you?"

Xia Xun said: "Two days later, there will be a public trial by the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Third Division, and the two princes will supervise the trial. Hehe, I have to disturb you for two days."

After hearing Xia Xun's teasing words, Ji Gang smiled and said: "That's okay, I just happen to be close to the Duke, but I still have to bend the Duke."

As he said, he accompanied Xia Xun to the prison car, and asked a little worriedly: "There will be a public trial in two days. Is the Duke ready, are you sure?"

Xia Xun smiled and said: "To a gentleman, treat him like a gentleman; to a villain, treat him like a villain. They come all over the place, and I can't do anything? Don't worry, this battle , don’t let his entire army be annihilated, but also let his vitality be severely injured!”
