Because of the memorial ceremony, Zhu Yuanzhang has not been in a good mood since returning from Xiaoling.
The whole person also looked very decadent.
In the past, there were government affairs to handle, but now there are almost no memorials for the Chinese New Year, and the few that are there are all handled by Da Sun.
In this case, it became even more sad.
In the past few days, Zhu Ying ignored most things and focused on staying with the old man.
Playing chess, reading, reviewing memorials, fishing, etc.
After enjoying such family happiness for a few days, Zhu Yuanzhang finally recovered, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
However, today, a report from Jiang Wei made Zhu Yuanzhang furious.
"You bastard, what do you want to do? You are plotting rebellion. Are these businessmen thinking that we are old and can no longer carry a knife? Are they going to bully our grandfather and grandson!!!"
In the Huagai Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang's roar echoed inside and outside.
Zhu Ying quickly went to get the file and checked it.
After watching it, I realized that it was no wonder the old man was so excited.
The news recorded above is from the area outside the capital, or outside Yingtian Mansion.
A lot of rumors began to spread.
There is a lot of rumored information. The first one is questioning the identity of Emperor Zhu Ying's eldest grandson.
It records in detail that in the fifteenth year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Xiongying died young due to congenital heart disease and useless medicine.
Hundreds of officials were buried on foot on Zhongshan Mountain in Xiaoling Mausoleum.
At the time of his death, it had been more than seven days.
Therefore, the current emperor's grandson is actually a fake.
The most cruel thing here is that Zhu Di is also involved.
It is said that Zhu Di colluded with outsiders to mix fake things with real ones in an attempt to seize the throne. What's more, even the death of Prince Zhu Biao seems to be inextricably related to Zhu Di.
How could such a happy prince go to Shaanxi and then die of illness when he came back? He still suffered from minor illnesses such as wind and cold.
It just so happened that Shaanxi was in rebellion, and the intelligence revealed that Zhu Di was secretly colluding with the rebels to plot against the prince.
Among them, what made Zhu Ying's eyes freeze was the background investigation of the entire Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
It is said that when the Qunying Chamber of Commerce was outside the territory, it was a gang of robbers and merchants, killing countless people, taking people's money and lives, and it was more hateful than foreigners.
Many merchant gangs from the Ming Dynasty died at the hands of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, and thousands of cavalry were on the evil side.
Even more so in autumn and winter, they invaded the Ming Dynasty’s borders.
Zhu Ying looked at it carefully and found that some of the background information about the Qunying Chamber of Commerce was half true and half false. It was obvious that the people behind the scenes had spent a lot of effort.
"Jiang Wei, find out who is behind this!"
Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed his anger and asked.
Jiang Wei trembled, knelt down on one knee and said: "I am incompetent. This file is the latest one to be sent. It has been launched in various places. The mastermind behind it has not yet been identified."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened and he said: "Check, check to death. Anyone involved will be punished by all nine clans!!!"
This time, he was really angry.
In today's Ming Dynasty, there are still people who dare to challenge the royal majesty like this. It is simply bold and reckless.
Zhu Ying frowned.
He knew in his heart that this incident, which could affect so many people at the same time, must have been prepared for a long time.
If he guessed correctly, they were the same people who prevented him from helping Yao Guangxiao unite various ministries last time.
Being able to investigate matters outside the territory, the energy behind the scenes should not be underestimated.
Logically speaking, in the current era of Ming Dynasty, there should not be a certain force with such great energy.
Regardless of the surrounding forces inside and outside the Ming Dynasty, the Qunying Chamber of Commerce has contacts and cooperation, and it is impossible to suddenly appear.
Then there is only one possibility.
That is, after he entered the palace, some top forces united with each other.
One name after another flashed through Zhu Ying's mind, and the fierceness that had not been seen for a long time was once again strong in Zhu Ying's eyes.
This time, I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go!
After Jiang Wei left, Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Dasun knows these people who are plotting secretly."
Zhu Ying nodded and said: "They are probably the merchant clans on the border. They themselves have colluded with the grassland tribes. The sudden rise of the rebels in Shaanxi probably has a lot to do with them."
"This matter must have been prepared for a long time. It happened to be the announcement of the black soil incident in Liaodong some time ago, which made them smell the opportunity."
"Japan, Liaodong, and Shaanxi, in their opinion, will involve most of my energy in the Ming Dynasty. If my grandson guesses wrong, many tribes in the grassland will also serve as soldiers at the moment."
"I want to take advantage of this opportunity to mess with my Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Ying frowned.
Now the whole thing is getting a little troublesome.
It is clear that after the beginning of spring, the situation in the entire Ming Dynasty will become turbulent.
The enemy missed such a good opportunity.
Ruling a big country is really not that easy.
Now the literati are opposed to the establishment of the school.
The business gang also took the opportunity to disrupt the situation.
There is the Japanese state outside, and Liaodong and Shaanxi inside.
Judging from the overall situation, Ming Dynasty seems to be in a difficult situation after the beginning of spring.
Most things, like an arrow on the string, have to be fired.
For example, the conquest of Japan involved Goryeo Doyeon.
There must be soldiers going to Liaodong, otherwise those Mongolian Jurchens will have their own evil intentions.
Shaanxi rebels must also be cleaned up quickly.
Including school matters, we must not compromise with the literati.
The business gang matters are related to the majesty of the royal family and can only be handled strictly.
"It seems that this year will be an eventful year."
Zhu Yuanzhang whispered softly.
The waist that was originally a little bent slowly straightened up.
When had Zhu Yuanzhang ever been afraid?
No matter how big the storm is, they have been overcome. At the beginning, Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, and even the remaining Mongols were in a more critical situation than now.
He came over in the same way.
Today, the Ming Dynasty has more than a million soldiers, and half of them are battlefield veterans.
When it is at its peak.
There is also no shortage of money and the treasury is full.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang held Da Sun's hand and said coldly: "We have to show them, our Ming Dynasty is not easy to mess with!"
Zhu Ying's eyes became fierce and she nodded heavily.
...
"Damn it! Bastards! These beasts, I will cut them into pieces!!!"
In Prince Yan's palace, Zhu Di made a shocking roar, and even the flames on the brazier were shaking.
Zhu Di took the intelligence he had just received.
This was specially sent by Jin Yiwei, and it was naturally under the instruction of his father.
When I first watched it, Zhu Di was secretly happy because of Zhu Ying's reputation for embarrassment.
When he saw that he had plotted to murder his eldest brother Zhu Biao, he was completely confused.
And later, it was said that he colluded with the Shaanxi rebels and used evil methods to murder his eldest brother, which made Zhu Di's whole body tremble.
It's fear, it's fear, it's fear.
If my father is really deceived by the words of these villains, will he have any chance of success in the future?
He has made great contributions, and his father has repeatedly expressed that he is like him.
But if his eldest brother Zhu Biao was involved, Zhu Di couldn't imagine how his father would treat him.
The position of a vassal king, the title of a prince, and overseas kingdoms are all a fantasy.
Being imprisoned in the capital for life is the best ending.
Thinking of this, Zhu Di's whole body trembled even more.
Seeing this, Xu Yihua next to her quickly took the file in Zhu Di's hand and began to read it at a glance.
While looking at it, the shock in his eyes was also clearly revealed.
After reading it quickly, Xu Yihua began to think about it quickly.
Not long after, Xu Yihua hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Your Majesty may not trust you in this matter."
"From my perspective, it is very likely that Your Majesty will not believe what is said in this file."
Zhu Di came back to his senses and asked, "How can I say this, my beloved concubine?"
Xu Yihua analyzed: "The most critical point in this file is not the prince, let alone the death of the prince due to typhoid fever. The main key is the grandson's highness."
"If my guess is correct, the matter concerning His Highness the Grand Sun is what these people behind the scenes want to target."
"The prince's side should just be implicated."
After hearing these words, Zhu Di also recovered from his panic.
Mainly this file was sent by Jin Yiwei.
Zhu Di is not afraid of anything, but the one he fears most is his father. This is a shadow that has been with him since he was a child. No matter how many times he wins on the battlefield, he cannot get rid of it.
So when it came to the death of his eldest brother, Zhu Di fell into a state of extreme nervousness and fear.
Now when I hear Xu Yihua say this, I immediately understand.
But there are still worries.
"With my father's temperament, even if it is groundless, he will probably find out. But how come my affairs are spread so clearly?"
Zhu Di was a little confused.
Many of the things mentioned above are of course fictitious, and colluding with the Shaanxi rebels is naturally impossible.
But there are secret things about himself and Zhu Ying, which are described in the file. Although it is not very clear, it is impossible for ordinary people to know such things.
The only one who knows is himself, and... Dao Yan.
It can't be Daoyan.
Zhu Di immediately denied it in his heart.
If it were Dao Yan, it would definitely be clearer, and it wouldn't feel so vague.
Besides, Daoyan now belongs to Taisun, and he is far away in Goryeo, commanding an army of 200,000, and preparing to conquer the Japanese, so he will not be involved.
Suddenly, Zhu Di thought of something in his mind.
At the beginning, Dao Yan's two apprentices were placed in the Western Regions.
Is it them?
Zhu Di felt it was very possible.
Only they would be so ignorant.
"You look down on me like this. You really don't take me seriously. Could it be that they feel that only their grandson is their biggest enemy?"
"I must let them know how much they will pay for provoking me."
These words almost jumped out from between Zhu Di's teeth.
Xu Yihua hesitated for a moment and said: "Now, perhaps the prince should remain unchanged in this matter to cope with the ever-changing situation. It is related to the prince's affairs, and your majesty will inevitably be suspicious. At this time, if the prince takes action again, maybe..."
Zhu Di waved his hand, interrupting what Xu Yihua wanted to say.
He said in a cold voice: "My beloved, I don't understand. At this time, the more we have to take action, the more violent it is."
"If I endure the slander even to this extent, it will only make my father more suspicious of me."
"Besides, my eldest brother has treated me very well since I was a child. I just went to Xiaoling Mausoleum to pay homage to my eldest brother a few days ago. If they dare to make this article about my eldest brother, I can't help but start killing them."
...
The incident about Zhu Ying quickly spread throughout the capital.
Of course, this is only limited to high-ranking officials and ministers, and the royal family.
Of course ordinary people had no way of knowing this news.
The reason why it was so fast in less than two days is indispensable because of Zhu Yuanzhang's deliberateness.
It is impossible to conceal it, it is better to unfold it directly and openly.
And in the capital, it is more convenient to investigate these matters. Some of the people involved who are hiding in the dark can be easily found out once they surface.
"Are they gone?"
"Reply to the master, they are all gone."
"They are really crazy people. At this juncture, they still dare to participate in this matter. Do they really think they don't live long enough?"
In a certain house, Liu Sanwu sighed to the housekeeper.
Not long ago, Zhang Xin and Bai Xintiao came to visit together.
Liu Sanwu naturally understood what was going on, so he immediately informed the housekeeper and refused to see the guests.
"If I asked you to bring it, did you bring it to them?"
Liu Sanwu asked immediately.
The butler nodded and said, "It's been brought here."
When Liu Sanwu heard this, he turned around and went back to the house.
Outside the hospital,
Zhang Xin and Bai Xintuan got on the carriage together.
A small brazier in the carriage dispels the chill.
"Mr. Bai, what does Mr. Sango mean when he tells us not to get into trouble?"
"Now is the best time. The grandson's identity is being questioned. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the school affairs are naturally not the first priority and should be postponed to a later date."
"Coupled with what was said in a previous letter from the clan, I think it will not be difficult to accomplish."
Zhang Xin said thoughtfully.
When Bai Xintuan heard this, he shook his head and said: "Zhang Hanlin only saw the opportunity, but forgot how much anger the grandson's matter will bring to His Majesty."
"Whether you believe it or not, His Majesty is absolutely furious. Mr. Sango understands that at this time, anything that happens will make His Majesty even more angry."
"The result of offending His Majesty will only be death in vain."
Hearing this, Zhang Xin shuddered.
This is almost like walking before the gate of hell.
At this moment, Zhang Xin suddenly realized the gap between himself, Liu Sanwu, and Bai Xintai.
Far from just because of knowledge.
East Palace.
Huang Zicheng and Zhu Yunwen sat opposite each other, silent.
Not long ago, Huang Zicheng told the story in detail about his grandson.
This made Zhu Yunwen fall silent for a moment.
And Huang Zicheng didn't know how to speak.
Faced with this matter, Zhu Yunwen's heart inevitably felt a glimmer of light inexplicably.
But this glimmer is indescribable.
Of course Huang Zicheng couldn't say anything, so the two of them remained silent.
After a long time, Huang Zicheng stood up and bowed: "Your Highness, I will retire."
Zhu Yunwen's throat moved, but he didn't speak. He finally nodded and watched Huang Zicheng leave.
When the door of the main hall was opened and closed, a gust of cold wind came in, which made Zhu Yunwen's somewhat confused mind sober up a little.
At this time, there was a noise behind the screen.
Zhu Yunwen turned around and saw his mother walking out.
"mother."
Zhu Yunwen called softly.
Mrs. Lu walked to Zhu Yunwen's side and said, "Just wait and see what happens."
