Ping An Biography

As an eunuch behind his family, Wang Gou'er had been an eunuch for more than [-] years in a more legal court, and now he was in the position of palm seal, so it was easy to guess his mind, and I am afraid that he no longer wanted to be an undercover agent.

He couldn't get rid of Jianwen's control, and his biggest concern should be that Emperor Jianwen had countermeasures in his hands.Once the two sides fall out, it is very likely that Wang Gou'er's details will be made public here; because Wang Gou'er was originally selected from the Jianwen Palace, and there may be some real evidence in the hands of Jianwen people.Even if these evidences cannot accurately prove his identity because of too long time, Wang Gouer, as an important person around Emperor Xuande, even has a bearing on the personal safety of the emperor himself. Trust is an extremely important factor. Doubt, the end is also disastrous.

It can be seen that if a person's betrayal has no corresponding price and deterrence, the credibility will be very low.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Ning said in his usual clear but fast way of speaking: "Wang Gou'er is very valuable to us because of his status, but there are two difficulties in trying to win him over. The problem: First, it is not easy to contact him, assuming that a servant next to the concubine is someone else's espionage, in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is difficult for outsiders to have a way to see you..."

Yao Ji smiled and said, "I don't have people like Wang Gou'er by my side."

Just a hypothetical analogy.Zhang Ning continued: "Secondly, the reason why Wang Gou'er did not completely turn to Emperor Xuande is that people who are afraid of Jianwen Lord have his handle. Although we know his identity, we can't threaten him at all. Emperor Xuande is not fatuous yet. To the extent that he doubts the great eunuch who he has reused just by spreading rumors without any evidence; after all, Wang Gouer is still a well-known person in the upper class, and it is too easy to spread rumors against him."

Yao Ji looked at him noncommittally.Being able to speak of conspiracies in such an orderly and majestic way is mostly an effect that only men can show. This is a completely different feeling from the court conspiracy experienced by Yao Ji; Zhang Ning's expression and voice reminded her of something masculine Qi.Perhaps it was because she lacked the opposite sex around her for too long, so she was extremely sensitive to this different kind of breath.

Seeing that Yao Ji hadn't spoken, he said again: "The first difficulty is a little bit smaller. If you want to meet someone who is not easy to meet, it is still possible if you wait for the right opportunity. But how to make him work for me is very difficult." Difficult to do...but I remembered one thing, the death of Emperor Yong Le may have something to do with poisoning in secret, what is the truth? Was it really caused by Wang Gou'er being forced to poison Emperor Yong Le?"

Yao Ji shook her head lightly: "I'm not sure about this either. However, it is true that the ministers of Jianwen planned to assassinate the 'King Yan' several times back then. Many died. In the end, King Yan died suddenly during the Northern Expedition, but no one can explain the reason."

Zhang Ning said: "Maybe we can send someone to make a fuss about this matter, give it a try, and see if Wang Gou'er will be tricked."

Yao Ji quickly said: "Send Peach Blossom Fairy, she should be the most likely person to accomplish this."

Zhang Ning thought about it, Taohua Fairy is not only a person who knows a lot of inside information, but also knows Yang Shiqi's adopted daughter Luo Yaoniang, maybe she can get Luo Yaoniang's help after arriving in Yangzhou, if Luo Yaoniang is now in Yangzhou by Yang Shiqi's side .It's just that Zhang Ning is emotionally resistant to sending a woman, especially a woman he knows has affection for him, to do such a dangerous job.

However, Peach Blossom Fairy is a "woman" who is good at this kind of thing, and she has done things like assassin more than once; besides her, it is difficult to find suitable people, after all, some confidential inside information is not known by everyone You can't tell people at will, but those who don't know the inside story can handle it.

Zhang Ning no longer hesitated, and immediately agreed with Yao Ji.

For a matter that both Zhang Ning and Yao Ji have reached an agreement on, it can be implemented immediately after the decision is made.Yao Ji said: "When Peach Blossom Fairy is in the palace now, I will send someone to call her over."

When Peach Blossom Fairy was summoned to meet, Zhang Ning told her some things that might be useful for her business.Including the truth about the "Xiang Ash Case" back then, as well as some personal connections, Wang Zhen, Luo Yaoniang, another eunuch in power under Wang Gou'er, and others.

……

It is very easy to investigate Jiangxi through Lu Shangshu, the governor of Jinyiwei Nanzhen. Jinyiwei officers have privileges in local affairs, and they have the authority to investigate almost everything.So soon there was a secret report to Yangzhou.

Although the bureaucratic system of the Ming court was based on copywriting and decree procedures, which was relatively rigid, the existence of Jin Yiwei made the emperor's eyes, eyes, and tentacles more flexible, and the secrecy was also high... It's just the existence of the character Wang Gou'er There has been a huge loophole here.

The palm seal of the supervisor of ceremonies is currently the admiral of the East Factory at the same time.Dongchang and Jinyiwei are collectively called Changwei, and they are similar institutions. Dongchang can’t bypass the court secretary, and it is difficult for Jinyiwei to get rid of its influence; since the Yongle period, it has gone through the Yongle, Hongxi, and Xuande dynasties. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty realized the natural advantages of the eunuch group for the stability of the regime, and consciously gradually cultivated and strengthened the eunuch group. The eunuchs were favored by the emperor, and Jin Yiwei would therefore fall behind and be subject to the ceremonial supervisor.Therefore, it is almost impossible for Wang Gouer not to know about the factory guard's secrets.

The things that the retainers sent by Hu Ying found were personal and not enough to be used as evidence for the great government's strategy.In addition, a particularly important item sent by Nanzhen Fusi attracted the attention of Yang Rong and others.

A rebel decree drafted and promulgated by Song He himself.

The decree covers many aspects such as military, government, civilian, and public opinion, with more than a dozen items in it.Among them are the strict orders that the army disturbs the people who violate the same crime regardless of their status, appeases the people to live a normal life, exposes the crimes of local officials who abuse|violate|extort corruption and illegal fish and meat from the people, and selects noble scholars as officials.The decree is written in simple and straightforward words, without the diction of classical Chinese.

Of course, the content of this article is not the most important thing, but the person who wrote it, Song He.Who are Song He?A student of the Jinshi Emperor in the Jianwen Dynasty, he disappeared after the "Battle of Jingnan". It is rumored that he ran away with Jianwen and his son; he is one of the important targets of the court. [

Yang Rong said in front of Hu Ying, Yang Sihai and others: "The most important thing at present is to send people back to Beijing immediately to find Song He's handwriting in the cabinet warehouse and compare the authenticity. There must be archives in the Yuange warehouse (later Xiku), even if he should have found the imperial examination articles in the past." The stuff is also archived.Even the imperial edicts and decrees issued with seals during the Taizu period have copies stored.

Hu Ying thought it was right, and made suggestions: "Although Yang Gong is a cabinet minister and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, if he returns to Beijing in person, he has the right to check the files in the warehouse of Wenyuan Pavilion. But if you want to leave the palace, you must first meet the saints." Yes. We can report to the emperor first about what we are planning, but before it is completed, please ask the emperor to put it aside and not tell the court ministers..."

Yang Rong knew in his heart that the minister in Hu Ying's "don't tell the court ministers for the time being" mainly refers to Yang Shiqi.For the sake of confidentiality, Yang Shiqi has obviously been excluded by them from the circle of this matter; but even if everyone talks about it in private, they can only use hints and dare not directly "frame" Yang Shiqi.Because Yang Shiqi is still the chief assistant of the cabinet.

The cabinet was established during the reign of Taizu. At the beginning, it only acted as a political|advisor role, with low rank and real power.However, after Emperor Xuande ascended the throne, he determined to gradually reshape a more reasonable and perfect power structure. He was the first to set a precedent for a cabinet minister to concurrently serve as a minister. The power of the cabinet ministers has risen greatly since then; big……

The prime ministers of the past dynasties generally only had the decision-making power; however, the cabinet ministers of the Ming Dynasty not only participated in the decision-making of the country's major policies, but also directly had the executive power through controlling the six ministries. (According to the traditional system of three provinces and six ministries, Zhongshu Province makes decisions, and the six ministries below Shangshu Province implement them. In the early Ming Dynasty, there was also Zhongshu Sheng, which was equivalent to a prime minister.) What is the situation of a few people who both participate in decision-making and master the execution procedures?In a word, a few people discuss with the emperor how to deal with the affairs of the empire, and then they can go about their own affairs after the meeting is over, and almost no one can control them.This is also one of the important reasons why the Ming Dynasty has a reputation for centralization and strengthening.

Therefore, Yang Shiqi, as the chief assistant of Emperor Xuande's cabinet, has the status of an extremely human minister. As long as he is in the position for a day, how can any wormy bureaucrat dare to say that he is good or bad?

However, because Yang Shiqi had the misfortune to have a close friendship with the King of Hunan, the bandit of Huguang, it is obvious that his status in the hearts of the emperor and courtiers has declined.Just because there is no evidence to prove that Yang Shiqi and Zhang Ning are still related, Emperor Xuande Zhu Zhanji does not want to touch such an important person as Yang Shiqi for the time being.The stability of the members of the power center is one of the signs of a mature regime. Emperor Xuande knew how to do it well. He was not a foolish politician.Compared with this, the later Emperor Chongzhen changed more than 50 cabinet ministers in more than ten years, which shows how bad it is.

...Yang Rong and the others discussed and divided labor and cooperated.Yang Rong went to see the emperor in person, and then rushed back to the capital to check the files in the Wenyuan Pavilion warehouse to find evidence; Hu Ying stayed in Yangzhou "walking" Yamen and was responsible for keeping in touch with the Fusi of Jinyiwei South Town to grasp and plan the matter. Further development.

At this time, the young Yang Sihai once again put forward a bold and imaginative hypothesis: "Since the rebels in Jiangxi can have people like Song He at their side, it must be unusual. Jianwen is in Wuchang; it cannot be Zhang Ning's people. Then the rebels under the banner of Prince Jianwen are very likely to be true.

We believe that there is a gap between King Xiang's party and Jianwen and his prince. After Prince Jianwen failed to raise troops, the officials thought it was an excellent opportunity for King Xiang to eliminate hidden dangers.Where did Prince Jianwen go?Maybe he was murdered by King Xiang? "
