Ping An Biography

An article written by Zheng Qia actually arrived at the Yangzhou Palace after being copied by hand.In the article, Emperor Xuande scolded Emperor Xuande for using insidious means to kill and separate the same family members. Haiku is often used in the diction, which is quite literary, and it can be read easily.

Zhu Zhanji took this article and embarrassed Yang Rong and Hu Ying who came to face the saint.This seems to have shown that the divorce plan they planned has failed.Zheng Qia is a well-documented Jinshi of the Jianwen Dynasty and an important member of the Jianwen remnants. Public articles written by such people are enough to prove that Emperor Jianwen did not believe the rumors.

There is also an even more explicit abuse by another civil servant Cheng Ji. Yang Rong and other ministers did not dare to bring it in front of Zhu Zhanji... because Cheng Ji scolded Xuande for using treacherous schemes, and Renzong was poisoned by his own son at the beginning. , and listed more than a dozen items.This remark has been used by the King of Han before (Zhang Ning made a plan), but mentioning it again in front of Xuande will also arouse holy wrath. After all, it is about patricide, which is simply outrageous!Not to mention the emperor who pays special attention to the way of heaven, even ordinary people will be furious when they are said so.

If that's all, it hasn't reached the point where the plan has completely failed.The Jianwen Party doesn't believe it, so they can continue to try to make them believe it.But there is another thing: the story of King Xiang's encounter with an assassin is known all over the world.

"Of course the assassin was not sent by us, and no minister would do so." Yang Rong firmly affirmed. [

He was right. The officials in the court are well-behaved officials. They are all well-educated people with status, status and future. Who has the ability to do such a thing?For the reward of the Marquis, it is impossible for anyone to do it quietly without knowing, at least to say hello to his colleagues.And if the imperial bureaucrats really did it, it should have been planned carefully and successfully. How could it have turned into a farce-like result, leaving traces of framing the Jianwen Party on the scene?

Hu Ying also commented: "If it's one of ours, there's no need to frame Jianwen by extravagance; naturally, it won't be Jianwen Yuchen himself who harms himself. I think it's very likely that it's a play performed by the King of Xiang... But the problem is that we only found out about Prince Jianwen not long ago, yet the King of Xiang seems to know all the secrets of the imperial court like the palm of his hand, and he handled it perfectly, which is really weird."

Without Hu Ying's reminder, Xuande has long suspected that there are spies in his family.He had this feeling before, and then the eunuch Zheng He was questioned because Zheng He was away for a long time; and the factory guard also found out that the firearm technology of the Huguang rebels was imported, so the suspicion was even greater... But this time it was definitely not Zheng He. And, this eunuch is still far away in the port, and there is no way to participate in court secrets.

Wang Gouer?Xuande also thought about this eunuch, mainly because the former eunuch Haitao attacked him; but this person has gone through three dynasties, he has been in the palace since he was a teenager, and for the time being, there is no sign that he has any doubts.The point is that Xuande believes that Wang Gou'er was questioned because of the internal fighting between Haitao and Haitao three years ago. The two dogs would bite each other and hurt each other when they fought.After the battle between Wang Gou'er and Hai Tao ended, if Emperor Xuande really doubted Wang Gou'er, he would not let him be the chief inspector of ceremonies. The position in the inner palace is just a matter of the emperor's words.

As soon as he thought of Wang Gou'er, Wang Gou'er looked outside.After Zhu Zhanji found out, he raised his arm and made a gesture. The respectful and loyal Wang Gou'er bent over and walked in carefully with small steps.

Wang Gou'er turned his head to look at the ministers present, and walked to Xuande's side without saying a word. After getting permission, he put his mouth close to the emperor's ear, and said a few words in a very low voice.The people below couldn't hear anything, they could only see Wang Gou'er's throat moving.

Xuande said: "That's all for today, everyone go down first."

Yang Rong and others had no choice but to kowtow and leave.Then Emperor Xuande greeted all the eunuchs and maids around him.

Wang Gou'er continued to whisper: "Your Majesty, we have already checked. The spy was sent by Zhang Ning, King of Hunan, and the Yang family has never broken contact with him... Dongchang Shi sent people to question many people, the adopted daughter of Yang Shiqi. When Luo Yaoniang learned that Yu Qian's wife, Mrs. Dong, had returned to the capital from Huguang, she made a special trip to the capital to inquire about Zhang Ning's recent situation. Naturally, this matter was not enough to alarm them, but it made the servants pay more attention.

Then not long ago, Luo Yaoniang met a stranger privately in a shop in Yangzhou, and they separated after only touching one side.Our military follower followed carefully to the inn where the stranger who met Luo Yaoniang was located; the military follower came back and reported to the slave Qian Gang, who asked the servant for instructions, and the servant ordered the fan to go out and search the inn.It's a pity that they missed the opportunity this time and told them to run away.The servants did not dare to arrest and make too much noise in the whole city without authorization, so they had to stop for a while, trying to get caught.

Sure enough, within a few days, the snake came out of the hole!

This time their collusion was even more secretive. First, Xi Zuo put down a cheap thing in an antique shop and sold it at a high price, and when the people in Yang's mansion bought the cheap antique at a high price, they sent out a signal.Then the two parties will meet at the agreed place at an appropriate time.The slaves have already ordered people to seal up the shop. This is the account book for the sale of antiques, and the price of the items sold has been described and recorded in advance; the people in the shop have also been arrested and interrogated. Young woman... Wang Zhen, the eunuch under the servant, also saw Luo Yaoniang buy this thing with his own eyes. "

Wang Gou'er gently placed the account book and statement in front of Zhu Zhanji.Then he said: "Wang Zhen noticed that they were in collusion, so he closely monitored the Yang family, and paid extra attention to Luo Yaoniang's whereabouts.

But this time Luo Yaoniang was also more cautious, she didn't show up, but sent a maid to deliver the letter at the agreed place.At that time, in order not to be discovered, Wang Zhen had few people around him, but he was afraid that he would miss the opportunity this time like last time, so without asking the servants for instructions, he immediately broke into the place where the maids delivered letters to take people... We didn't touch the maids of Yang's house, one is Since this servant belongs to the Yang family, she can't run away, because Wang Zhen has no manpower..."

Wang Gouer swallowed dryly and paused for a while, but because of the vivid description, Xuande seemed a little anxious, and urged: "Continue talking, has anyone got it?"

Wang Gou'er said: "According to what Wang Zhen said, there were two people in the room who immediately resisted with weapons. One of the two was killed by Wang Zhen's army, and then the army was also stabbed to death; the remaining one Jumped and fled. Although he didn't catch his life, he managed to find two letters from the killed Xi Zuo. One was written by Luo Yaoniang, presumably the letter that the maid had just sent; the other was from Zhang Ning The hand is going to be given to Yang Shiqi."

After he finished speaking, he took out two blood-stained letters.

Wang Gou'er said again: "Zhang Ning's handwriting is easy to handle. Send someone to find out the memorials when he was an official from the library of Wenhua Palace, or the old office files of the Ministry of Rites. Luo Yaoniang's letter, as long as Don't let her run away, just catch her and interrogate her."

Zhu Zhanji was reading a letter. Luo Yaoniang's letter did not have an envelope, but only one page, but the rest was not seen. It was just a well-preserved piece of paper with no defects except blood stains on it.The above is mainly to explain that the rumors are very tight, people are often followed, it is inconvenient to meet, etc., and the other party (careful work) should report to Zhang Ning as soon as possible after finishing the work, and do not stay too much in Yangzhou... The words Zhang Ning and Yangzhou mentioned in it is extremely important information. [

Zhu Zhanji put down the letter and took out another copy from the envelope, which was written by Zhang Ning to Yang Shiqi.Just now Zhu Zhanji was able to maintain his composure, but now his face changed immediately... Among them, he thanked Yang Shiqi for providing the news, but he was unclear about the news.He also said that the emperor of the "false dynasty" had no ability, and it was right to lose his throne to pay off his grandfather's debts. I have long admired Yang Gong's learning to be rich and rich, and you have no way out with Emperor Xuande, and he has long since distrusted you. I come here, as soon as I come, I will make you the first assistant and marry Luo Yaoniang as my wife; of course, this king does not force it, Yang Gong can wait first, and we should leave an extra way for this king. I completely understand...that's probably what the letter meant.

"Crack!" Zhu Zhanji slapped the letter paper on the table in a rage, his eyes widened.

Wang Gou'er hurriedly knelt down on the ground: "The emperor calm down, the dragon body is important! As long as you give an order, this servant will go and arrest Luo Yaoniang for interrogation, and then arrest Yang Shiqi to quell the hatred in the heart of the emperor!"

"Wait." Zhu Zhanji gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, "Don't touch Luo Yaoniang for now, she is the flesh of Yang Shiqi's heart, and it's not yet time. I order you to do two things first. You have to give a verbal order not to go overboard. First, send additional factory guards to keep an eye on Yang’s residence; second, get Luo Yaoniang’s handwriting and interrogate the maid who delivered the letter.”

Wang Gou'er hurriedly asked: "Please show me, the emperor, how should the servants take personal and physical evidence and send people directly into Yang's mansion to search?"

Zhu Zhanji's face turned cold, and he nodded, "That's the way to do it. Yang Shiqi's residence was blatantly entered by factory guards, so that everyone in the court could watch, and then I can see clearly who are Yang Shiqi's henchmen!"

Wang Gou'er said: "The emperor is wise. If the ministers in the court smell the smell, there must be many people who stand up to impeach Yang Shiqi for the emperor, especially those who usually have close contacts with Yang Shiqi. They dare not do this. "

This is exactly what Xuande thinks, he doesn't need to personally arrest a minister, he just needs to wait and see what happens, and it is better to ask someone to do it for him, and it will not affect his reputation.But Wang Gou'er seems to be too clever today, to say such things in front of the emperor... Is the Sacred Heart something you, a dog eunuch, can guess at will!

Wang Gouer inadvertently caught Zhu Zhanji's menacing gaze, his legs softened immediately, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "My servant is guilty, my servant is guilty, and if the emperor's decree is issued, my servant will never dare to act rashly."

Xuande's momentary unhappiness was relieved, and then he realized that Wang Gou'er's talent and mind are actually a good thing, which can be used, and said: "You just need to understand what should be done and what should not be done."
