king of unspoken rules

This night was extremely impressive to everyone in Jinling City, from the empress and the general down to the ordinary people and even the rogues.Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was assassinated in the palace, and the murderer was never found. This deeply hurt the hearts of many people, and made many people almost crazy.

Whether it is the generals who are sincerely loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang or the guards who are worried about being held accountable, even if they have known through the previous assassination that the murderer has the ability to control birds and beasts, they may have drifted away, but even if there is a glimmer of hope And absolutely unwilling to give up.Many lives are at stake.

The imperial city was completely blocked and inspected, expelling many rats and cockroaches. Birds were better, but not much better. Birds with night vision could escape, but the rest were also captured by the imperial guards. They shot down directly, and many imperial guards, together with the masters of the inner circle, almost gnashed their teeth and devoted themselves to the great cause of exterminating rats and cockroaches, which also made the smell in many places in the palace very strange. Still able to breathe.

Just looking at the energetic appearance of the imperial guards, one can tell that the imperial city will probably become a forbidden place for small animals such as mice from now on.In order to prevent the murderer from coming again, many high-ranking experts guarded the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi and the concubines. At the same time, after Zhu Yunqi learned of the incident, he was already anxious for the ministers to enter the palace. At the same time, he ordered the army to block Jinling City and strictly searched the city. Murderer, these are all the meanings in the title.

Although everyone knows that the murderer is probably far away at this time, such a search will make the city even more chaotic, and it is inevitable that some messy things will happen during the search, but this kind of search still has to continue. A way for Zhu Yuanzhang to see him off.

In the Dezheng Hall that has been cleaned up, there are no corpses of rats, cockroaches or blood stains, but the atmosphere here is extremely dignified, and many ministers are also gathered here.Originally, it was unavoidably uncomfortable to be woken up late at night, but at this time, no one cared about it.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang's body was placed on the couch, many people felt cold sweat when they thought of Zhu Yuanzhang's ruthlessness. At the same time, they also felt inexplicably relaxed. Zhu Yuanzhang can be said to be a big mountain on the heads of officials. , so that many people are trembling, and now the mountain has completely disappeared.

But no matter how they feel in their hearts, the people at this time are all mourning the death of their relatives. The general Lan Yu, the queen and the concubine are also here, and the faint sobs can be heard endlessly.As for how real the crying is, others don't know.It is obvious that such an atmosphere cannot continue.

Finally, some sober people who can make decisions came forward and began to discuss many matters. Although Zhu Yuanzhang's assassination caught people off guard, for some people, the absence of Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be a good thing, so at this time, we need to consider There are many problems.

Whether the orthodox heir, the grandson of the emperor, Zhu Yunqi can succeed in the throne, Zhu Yunqi is not without opponents, at least Zhu Di has always been unwilling to hand over the throne to Zhu Yunqi.So some people began to suggest whether it is better to keep secret first and clean up the opponents.So that Zhu Yunqi can take the position smoothly? !Regardless of whether they support Zhu Yunqi or not, everyone agrees to block the news first. After all, this matter is too embarrassing to spread.It's likely to be a bit of a hassle.

This night must have been a sleepless night for many ministers, and it was also a sleepless night for the Imperial Guards and many caring people. Many people were thinking about what Zhu Yuanzhang's assassination and death would bring to the Central Plains. What an opportunity.The dark connection is also going on.

For the residents of Jinling City.It was also a sleepless night, when the army entered the city, the thunderous sound of horseshoes resounded in all directions.How to make people fall asleep, the rogues on the street are completely unlucky, they are directly taken away and sent to prison, everyone knows that they cannot be the murderer, but they still do, no matter whether they need a scapegoat or not, everyone agrees to be prepared in advance.In addition, the prosperous scene of singing and dancing of birds and swallows on the Qinhuai River was completely destroyed.

The officials and the army of Yingtian Mansion thoroughly mopped up, and one could imagine how many programs would happen amidst the screams. Naturally, neither the officials nor the army had any scruples. In ancient society, there were always people who had Privileges, even inspections, are polite.

Ordinary residents endured the vicious soldiers breaking into their houses and searching around, and they had to throw away some things. Fortunately, the military discipline of the troops deployed around Jinling City was not bad, and nothing too much happened, but even so, for ordinary people Humanly speaking, this night was also extremely difficult.

On the hillside of a hill outside Jinling City, this is a separate courtyard of Shuangyi Xiufu. It is exquisite and elegant, with excellent scenery. Now Tang Shu and others are here.Tang Shu had changed back into comfortable clothes, and stood on the observation deck of the small building looking towards the direction of Jinling City. Although the distance was far away, Tang Shu and others could still see the messy lights of Jinling City. The human hands and birds and beasts in the city can also be seen clearly.

"It's quite lively tonight." Young Master Tang said with a look of compassion, as if he had completely forgotten that he himself was the culprit.For tonight's action, Young Master Tang is undoubtedly very satisfied. Although Tang Shu's special ability is of great help, there is no doubt about the credit of Tang Shu and his subordinates.After a successful blow, Tang Shu and his men left Jinling City directly on the giant eagle and came to this other courtyard.

This was also prepared in advance, although the potential power of the Double 1 Xiu Mansion is also good, but there is no need to stay in the city to be disturbed, so two days in advance, Gu Zixian and others have come to the other courtyard.Now Gu Zixian and Lian Xiuxiu are beside Tang Shu, holding Tang Shu's arm tightly, their expressions are a little strange, Tang Shu did not hide their actions, so the two women were worried about Tang Shu's safety before. After Tang Shu returned safely, looking at the movement in Jinling City, he probably understood some compassion. They are all intelligent women, and they naturally understand the form.

So they knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's death was likely to bring great turmoil to the Central Plains, and it was not a day or two since the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen and the prince Zhu Di were at odds.One can imagine what would happen without Zhu Yuanzhang's suppression.Although kind, Gu Zixian and Lian Xiuxiu are very clear about their position, so they can only let go of some pity in their hearts.Listening to Tang Shu's exclamation, Gu Zixian smiled wryly. "It is estimated that the residents of the city must have a hard time tonight."

"There is no way around this." Tang Shu embraced Gu Zixian and Lian Xiuxiu, and said with a righteous face, "I know that the people in the city are suffering, and some tragic things may even happen. It is said that I provoked it, but If you study it in depth, you will find that this matter has long been doomed. Since Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to completely suppress Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang himself will not live for a few years, and it will definitely be Zhu Di and Zhu Yunqi who will fight. It is not just the people of Jinling City , as well as the people of the Central Plains, must accept this crime. Although the world has not been peaceful for a long time and the people are very pitiful, it is inevitable."

Undoubtedly, Young Master Tang was trying to find a reason for himself. If it was only Young Master Tang himself, then naturally there was no need to lie, but since Gu Zixian and Lian Xiuxiu couldn't bear it, these words were necessary.Anyway, it's not a big deal, there are many reasons.Young Master Tang will naturally not be stingy.

"What I can do is to quell this chaos as soon as possible. Even if I have participated, it may make the war last longer and cause more damage to the people. But I will compensate them in the future, I believe. As the emperor, I am more than Anyone is strong, and living under my rule will be very happy."

"Well, I believe you. I've heard people talk about the situation in Nanyang. They say that the people there are living a good life." Lian Xiuxiu said softly. After all, women at this time regard their husbands as their gods. , even if it is somewhat different from the idea in my heart.But more women still change their ideas.For most women, what kind of war country has nothing to do with them. What they care about is their family.Relatively speaking, Gu Zixian should pay more attention to these.

But the problem is that Gu Zixian is not considered a Han Chinese, she is from a country like no other in the world, and she doesn't have much sense of belonging to Ming Dynasty. "What to do next?"

Hearing Gu Zixian's question, Tang Shu pondered for a moment, "What's next, don't be in a hurry, let's see the effect first, although after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, the form will definitely develop in the expected direction, but the speed of development depends on Look, let's stay here for a while. It is conceivable that there is no need for Daqin's army to appear in a short time. For the time being, we will continue to attack the countries in Dongpu and Nanyang. At the same time, we are also promoting here..."

For Daming, Young Master Tang is undoubtedly a vicious and shameless enemy, which can be seen from his plan, but it is a pity that today's Daming knows that they still have Tang Shu as an enemy. Too little, it can even be said that even if you know it, you can't take care of it.

After all, neither Zhu Yunqi nor Zhu Di will give up their rights. There are inevitable reasons for the so-called drinking poison to quench thirst so many times.Even if they knew about Daqin's hostility and danger, they might still want to deal with the inside first. In the eyes of many people, internal enemies are much more important than external ones.What's more, today's Daqin and Tangshu are completely invisible to Daming, and they can enjoy it to their heart's content.

"And the public has the right to know. It is very necessary for me to let everyone in the Central Plains know what happened!" Young Master Tang said shamelessly. He can be sure that Jinling will block the news. Any country would do this In this way, Tang Shuming knew this, but he made trouble and added fuel to the flames by the way.

"Okay, Jinling definitely won't be able to rest tonight, but we don't have to pay attention to it, let's go, seeing other people want to sleep, don't you think we can sleep freely and try to be happy? Many times, in many In people's hearts, happiness comes from comparison!" Young Master Tang had a strange smile on his face, and before Gu Zixian and Lian Xiuxiu could react, he had already embraced them and walked towards the bedroom.

It is conceivable that in the next period of time, Young Master Tang can watch the play here very leisurely, all he needs to do is to join in the fun by applauding.And the entire Central Plains will be noisy and lively, and in the next period of time, Jinling City will undoubtedly become a whirlpool, attracting countless people to come.

With the passage of time, things seemed to be carried out in the imagination of Young Master Tang. Jinling City completely blocked the news, but the strange thing is that the news still spread, even faster than the imperial post, just three or two days At that time, this incident was already known to almost everyone in the entire Central Plains.

This result undoubtedly made many nobles in Jinling City dissatisfied. Naturally, someone will be punished, but this will not solve anything.Even if the notorious Jin Yiwei went all out, there were too many people who brought the news along.Even Jin Yiwei was a little helpless and could only control the localities. On the surface, no one discussed this matter, but it was still rumored in private.Faced with this situation, some people had no choice but to change their policy and countermeasures.

After all, after the news is spread, those who need to be on guard must be mentally prepared, and there is no way to win it in one fell swoop.Then we can only consider other ways. In this respect, Jinling City still has the upper hand. After all, Zhu Yunqi is the rightful grandson of the emperor, the heir in law.

It's just that the news about Zhu Yuanzhang's death has spread tricks.The news that Zhu Yuanzhang was assassinated to death is not new, but now there are many speculations about the murderer in the Central Plains. The murderer is Zhu Di, the king of Yan. Zhu Di was dissatisfied that he did not become a prince and wanted to seize power, so he killed his father.

Another thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang was dissatisfied with the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi, which caused Zhu Yunqi to directly fight to death.There is also a saying that God sent a crime, many birds and beasts besieged Zhu Yuanzhang, and other monsters of the rivers and lakes assassinated him.Even the unhealthy news that Zhu Yuanzhang died on the body of his favorite concubine was widely circulated.

Now, the Central Plains is completely lively, ordinary people can just chat casually, and more importantly, the officials and generals in the garrison are the most troublesome.After all, now they are also facing a choice, a choice that is related to their wealth and life, which makes them not cautious, and it is also a kind of torment.

Not just officials, generals and gentry.Even the Jianghu was stimulated by the news of Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden death. Originally, the magician's palace forces led by Fang Yeyu and the masters from outside the territory were fighting with the righteous masters and the members of the Angry Jiao Gang, but Zhu Yuanzhang died. The news came.Suddenly calmed down.

Fang Yeyu and the others originally held the idea of ​​restoring the country, so they were naturally very concerned about the government of the Central Plains. Fang Yeyu was very talented and knew very well that the current situation was a huge turning point for Daming, so he couldn't miss this Opportunity, if you compare it, you can only put aside the grievances with Zhengdao and the Nujiao Gang for the time being. Fang Yeyu and others are still thinking about how to act under the current situation, but no one cares about how Zhu Yuanzhang died.

After all, the important thing is the result. Only when the result has appeared can further actions be taken. Pang Ban, who is a leisurely submerged cultivator, seems to have gained something after receiving the news. After all, there are not many people who would do such a thing. Considering the issue of ability, There are even fewer candidates.However, Pang Ban didn't take it seriously. After getting the original Dao Heart Seed Demon handed to him by Tang Shu, Pang Ban was also further adjusting his skills and spirit.

After all, what Pang Ban cared about was the ultimate in martial arts. Relatively speaking, the secular imperial power was not important to him at all, so he just threw it aside and ignored it.

And it is natural for the Zhengdao sect to stop. Many people in the Zhengdao sect are receiving a salary from the imperial court. Now that something like this happened to the imperial court, they also need to continue to deal with it. Facing the choice, naturally there is no motivation to fight and kill at this time.

After all, the so-called Zhengdao sect was greatly influenced by the imperial court. Everyone has a family and a business. It is impossible for them to drill into the deep mountains and old forests to practice like demons and heretics. They can't bear that kind of hardship.At the same time, the masters of the righteous way also have a sense of responsibility. They consciously want to help the court clear up the demon atmosphere. You must know that many officials in the court and even the officials in Dongchang are very suspicious of evil spirits and heretics in their eyes. The sense of mission of struggle.

There is another thing worth mentioning about the Zhengdao sect, that is, the Zhengdao sect has lost face recently. Regarding the murder case in the Han family, the real culprit has been found out by Qin Mengyao, but he is a scum of the Zhengdao sect. It's a disgraceful feeling. Of course, in their mouths, this is the courage to self-examine and eliminate the wicked. Relatively speaking, people in the orthodox sect occupy the right to speak, so naturally they can say whatever they want. They are right.Of course, not all righteous sects are so shameless.There are scum in any sect, it's just that the orthodox sect has better face.

With the actions during this period, Qin Mengyao's demeanor, wisdom and martial arts have also impressed many people, no matter what the other party's position is.The celestial Qin Mengyao has attracted the attention of many men, but unfortunately, no one seems to be able to attract Qin Mengyao.

This sudden incident in Jinling City caught the Zhengdao sect by surprise, and even Qin Mengyao felt a little headache.The rivers and lakes have never been independent of the world, and even the relationship between the rivers and lakes and the world is extremely close, which is also related to the vital interests of many people.

Qin Mengyao is also very aware of this.So even though she felt that this form was very troublesome, she could only go forward bravely. After all, Qin Mengyao understood Fang Yeyu's and others' thinking. Whether as a righteous person or as a Han, she could not allow the Mongols to restore.So Qin Mengyao is also acting.

But what Qin Mengyao didn't know was that if it wasn't for this sudden incident, Qin Mengyao would probably have suffered a catastrophe. One of the three great masters outside the territory, the Red Sun Dharma King and Cihang Jingzhai are mortal enemies, and they always have to PK when they meet of.Although Qin Mengyao's skills are extraordinary, the opponent is also impressive.

In the original book, Qin Mengyao was seriously injured and almost died. If it wasn't for Lang Fanyun's rescue and Han Bai's double rest, Qin Mengyao would have passed away.Now there is no Han Bai in this world, if Qin Mengyao suffers that kind of injury again, it will be troublesome.Of course, Young Master Tang is probably very willing to sacrifice himself to save the beauty.But I don't know Qin Mengyao's reaction. It is estimated that if he wants to be rescued, he will need to be rescued by Young Master Tang, which will make people speechless.

Fortunately, none of this happened.Because of the sudden incident in Jinling City, it is conceivable that the decisive battle between Qin Mengyao and King Hongri will take place in Jinling City.

The Angry Jiao Gang is not very interested in the changes in the court, even though the first generation of Nu Jiao Gang's helper was once a general under Zhu Yuanzhang's command.But the first generation of the gang leader has passed away, so this little affection is pitiful.Moreover, it can be said that the relationship between the Nu Jiao Gang and the imperial court is not harmonious, and the imperial court is also secretly rectifying the Nu Jiao Gang.

But in its current form it is.The Angry Dragon Gang is not interested in the imperial court, and may even gloat over the misfortune, but they can't miss this incident. The current hatred between the Magician's Palace and the Nu Jiao Gang cannot be resolved. Someone must fail on both sides. There are endless means, and the Nu Jiao Gang is not at ease to let the Magician Palace act at will. Although they don't like the court, the Nu Jiao Gang also knows the power of the court.

If during this accident, the enemy and the imperial court have a relationship, and such a tragic incident happens in the future when the imperial army encircles and suppresses the Nu Jiao Gang, the Nu Jiao Gang will not accept it. Even though the Nu Jiao Gang is famous, there are still smart people in it Yes, knowing that the Nujiao Gang really wants to fight against the imperial army, there is no hope. In the past, the Nujiao Gang developed smoothly, and the relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and the previous generation of gang leaders also played a big role, making the Nujiao Gang official face The upper echelon has not been suppressed too much, and the upper echelons of the Nu Jiao Gang are well aware of this, so they can't miss it this time.

The Destiny Sect hidden behind Zhu Yunqi was also looming at this time. Although they were also caught off guard, this incident was a rare opportunity for them. After all, the conspiracy laid by the Destiny Sect was looking forward to this moment. Now the opportunity It's coming, so naturally you can't let it go.

When many sects in the rivers and lakes and even ghosts and snakes were heading towards Jinling City, and when many officials and generals in the Central Plains were receiving various greetings in private, Jinling City began to release news, announcing Zhu Yuanzhang's death, without explaining Whatever the cause of death, everything else is the standard of the emperor.

The most interesting part of this edict is at the end, calling all the feudal lords to Beijing to participate in the funeral.This is the meaning of the question, but at this moment, it made many people start to think about it. Everyone knows that Yan Wang Zhu Di has some opinions about the throne. Of course, other vassal kings also have some opinions about the throne. It's very eye-catching, but other people don't have that strength, so the current form is Yanwang Zhu Di fighting against the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi.

This ordinary edict seems to have a lot of meaning. Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was fief in Beiping. In order to deal with the remnants of the Mongolian army, Zhu Di controlled many troops. These troops were also Zhu Di's confidence and an important reason for his unwillingness.These troops are Zhu Di's minions.If he left these troops, Zhu Di would be no different from other princes.Attending Zhu Yuanzhang's funeral and going to Beijing, it is obvious that Zhu Di has no way to bring the army.

In this way, Zhu Di's danger is also natural, and many people are even guessing that if Zhu Di goes to Beijing, he will die suddenly because of mental exhaustion and grief, and go underground to follow Zhu Yuanzhang. While being sad, he praised Zhu Di's filial piety. Of course, Zhu Yunqi naturally accepted Zhu Di's army with a smile. Although it was rumored that Zhu Yunqi was kind-hearted, but when facing the supreme throne, kindness is nothing.

Even if Zhu Yunqi couldn't bear it, there was always someone who could.Zhu Yunqi also has many supporters. These supporters dare not do anything in order to climb the dragon and become the phoenix. Not to mention that there are traces of the Destiny Sect hidden behind, but there is no doubt that the Destiny Sect is cruel.

In short, everyone feels that if Zhu Di enters Beijing, it must be more or less auspicious, but as it is, Zhu Yuanzhang's funeral, it is only natural for vassal princes from all over the country to go. This is also a ritual system. The impact of your reputation is great.

Naturally, many smart people also know that Zhu Di can pretend to be sick or even pretend to be dead, but people with a discerning eye will know that this kind of thing has a great impact on Zhu Di's reputation, and the court can completely reprimand Zhu Di by famously Even if Zhu Di was directly labeled as rebellious, people's hearts were against him. Even if Zhu Di was powerful, it would be hard to say what the result would be.So the ending determines the merits and demerits, but Zhu Di still faces many troubles.

Many people are guessing how Zhu Di will act, and most of the smart people think that Zhu Di will pretend to be sick. At the same time, Jinling's move to deploy troops in various places also makes people shudder. You can see the direction of the transfer of troops and the generals. Now that Zhu Di was targeted, he mainly refused, and it is estimated that the imperial court's rebellion order will be issued.

So during this period of time, the people of the Northland are also trembling, but they have no choice but to wait for the fate to decide.

Zhu Di in Beiping City is also very anxious. Now that the situation has reached, Zhu Di doesn't know how to choose, but he is very aware of the danger of going to the capital, but if he directly launches the army, the reason is easy to find. Why is Zhu Yuanzhang dead? .But the point is that Zhu Di is not ready yet.

It is common sense that the army is not moved, and the food and grass go first.The northern land was originally poorer than the hinterland of the Central Plains, and Zhu Di had been fighting all these years, which consumed a huge amount of food, grass, and military equipment. Although he had been consciously accumulating and collecting, but because of Zhu Yuanzhang's vigilance, all this was going on very slowly. As far as the court is concerned, the advantage of the imperial court in this aspect is huge. If today's food, grass and military equipment cannot decide the winner in a short time, Zhu Di will die in an ugly way.

But that was really not easy.Even if Zhu Yunqi is not good at commanding troops, there are plenty of generals in the court.So at this time Zhu Di was in great torment and hadn't rested for a long time, and his generals and counselors were all arguing and thinking.But I can't find the best way at all... (to be continued...)
