Jinyiwei.
Naturally, Zhu Yunwen also has people under his command.
After all, the predecessor of Jinyiwei was the Royal Guards Division beside Emperor Taizu Gao. Its main function was to "directly control the guards and patrol and arrest", that is, to engage in reconnaissance, arrests, interrogations and other activities, and then report to the emperor.
In other words, Jin Yiwei is a sharp knife in the emperor's hand!
It is a pity that during the Hongwu period, the Jinyiwei killed too many people, which caused anger and resentment among the people.
In order to quell the anger of the government and the public, Emperor Taizu Gao had no choice but to abolish the Jinyiwei, burn the Jinyiwei torture instruments, and transfer the prisoners to the Ministry of Punishment for trial; at the same time, he ordered that all internal and external prisons be submitted to the Sanfa Division for trial, and the Jinyiwei was completely abolished.
From then on, the popular Jin Yiwei was instantly knocked back to his original form and reduced to a pro-military guard with no real power.
But that's just the surface.
Although Zhu Yunwen inherited the benevolent virtues of his father Zhu Biao, and grew up under the guidance of great Confucian scholars such as Fang Xiaoru, he was inevitably deeply influenced by them, but this could not stop Zhu Yunwen's cold nature.
Moreover, before the death of Emperor Taizu Gao, he also taught Zhu Yunwen some imperial tricks, such as that power should not be left in the hands of others, not anyone!
For another example, Jin Yiwei is a good sword. Even if he is abolished on the surface, he is still monitoring the officials secretly.
After all, this is what the emperors of the past dynasties did. They trained a group of dead soldiers to supervise the officials and solve unnecessary troubles for the emperor in the dark. After this organization is expanded, it can also monitor the world and obtain intelligence about the enemy. Used by oneself.
The imperial censor of embroidered clothes in the Han Dynasty, the school affairs office of Cao and Wei in the Three Kingdoms, the signature of the Southern Qi Dynasty, the imperial city department of the former Song Dynasty, the Wanqitiqi of Li and Tang...
Which one of these is not doing these things?
Therefore, Zhu Yunwen was not exempt from vulgarity, especially since he was extremely wary of powerful vassal kings like Zhu Di, so he would naturally try every means to detect his every move, and Jin Yiwei was reused by Zhu Yunwen.
However, after experiencing the turmoil during the Hongwu period, Jinyiwei was no longer what it used to be, and its actions were hampered by many constraints, so they could only hide in the dark.
This actually gave the traitor Zhu Di an opportunity to rebel directly and openly!
When Zhu Yunwen thought of this, his teeth itched with hatred.
At this time, a young man with a sinister face walked out. It was Jiang Jackal, the Qianhu of the Jinyi Guards.
This Jiang Jackal was the son of Jiang Yu, the commander of the Jinyi Guards during the Hongwu period, and he was also Jiang Yu's only son.
Jiang Yu's greatest achievement in his life was to single-handedly concoct the bloody "Blue Jade Case"!
In February of the 26th year of Hongwu, the Jinyiwei commanded Jiang Yu to accuse Lan Yu of treason, which implicated the thirteen princes and the second uncle, and executed 15,000 people from the clan, almost killing all the generals who founded the Ming Dynasty and conquered the world. At this time, Taizu Emperor Gao also promulgated the "Records of Rebellious Ministers" and ordered the first Duke, the Thirteenth Marquis, and the Second Uncle to be executed!
As the initiator of this case, Jiang Yu's end was not much better. He was sentenced to death by Emperor Taizu Gao to appease public anger.
But Jiang Yu had merit after all, so Emperor Taizu Gao kept his son Jiang Jackal and secretly trained him into a thousand households of Jin Yiwei.
This Jiang Jackal was the confidant left to him by Emperor Taizu Gao, Zhu Yunwen, and the leader of the Jinyi Guards.
"I have seen your majesty!"
Jiang Jackal knelt down in fear and saluted.
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said, "I have one thing for you to do."
"Tie Xuan, who is involved in politics in Shandong, is suspected of colluding with Yan Ni. You rush to Shandong in person to verify this matter."
Hearing this, Jiang Jackal's heart skipped a beat.
"Your Majesty, if Tie Xuan really colludes with Yan Ni, then..."
"Temporarily imprison them and torture them all. Don't let anyone go!"
Zhu Yunwen said coldly.
He will not tolerate anyone who dares to collude with Yan Ni!
Even the Duke of Wei's Mansion was imprisoned by him, let alone a mere Tie Xuan!
After receiving His Majesty the Emperor's answer, Jiang Jacky knew what was going on, and then bowed and left.
Returning to the Zhenfusi Yamen, Jiang Jackal gathered all his confidants and went straight to Jinan, Shandong.
The administrative system of the Ming Dynasty was basically inherited from the Yuan Dynasty, and the local government established the Department of Administrative Envoys.
The Chief Envoy Department has one left and one Right Chief Executive, respectively, who are the top chief executives of the first-level administrative regions.
The criminal affairs and military affairs of a province are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Punishment and Prosecution and the Department of Capital Command and Envoy respectively.
The Chief Secretary, the Chief Secretary, and the Du Secretary are collectively called the "Three Secretaries". They are all the highest organs of provincial administrative regions. The heads of the three secretaries are of the same rank and rank and are of the second rank.
Participating in politics is the deputy of the chief envoy. He participates in politics on the left and right sides. From the third rank, he can also be regarded as a local official.
But if Tie Xuan really colluded with Yan Ni, let alone a mere political participant, even the chief envoy would be killed because of this!
When he thought of this, Jiang Jackal's eyes burst out with excitement, cruel and exciting!
After traveling day and night, Jin Yiwei and his party soon arrived in Jinan, Shandong Province, where the official office of the Shandong Chief Secretary is located.
Jiang Jackal swaggered into the Chief Secretary's Office and directly took control of all the people.
After inquiries, we successfully found the target of this trip, Shandong Zuo Shenzhen Tie Xuan.
I saw this Tie Xuan with a resolute and heroic face and a solemn expression without anger or authority. Ordinary people would be intimidated when they saw him.
This is a face that cares about the country and its people!
Jiang Jackal sighed secretly, but his whole body became more and more excited.
"Are you Tie Xuan, who participates in politics in Shandong?"
Tie Hyun looked at the people in front of him with a blank expression, not yet figuring out their identities.
Looking at their attire, they don’t look like officials from the Chasi Department!
Could it be...
"I am Tie Xuan, you are..."
"Come on, take it!" Jiang Jackal shouted, "Tie Xuan, something has happened to you, come with us!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Everyone looked at Tie Xuan in disbelief, wondering what crime this usually upright and strict political participant had committed.
After Tie Xuan was stunned, he laughed angrily and said: "I behave upright and stand upright. You can arrest me if you want, but you must at least tell me what I have committed, right?"
"You colluded with Yan Ni with evil intentions. This matter has already been heard by Heaven. How dare you make excuses here?"
What?
Colluding with Yan Ni?
At this moment, everyone panicked and subconsciously backed away, fearing that Tie Xuan would be implicated.
They knew that His Majesty the Emperor had always had zero tolerance for Yan Ni.
Regardless of the fact that Tie Xuan participated in politics from the third rank, it is of no use. Even big figures like Wei Guogong Xu Huizu were imprisoned because they were suspected of colluding with Yan Ni, let alone you, Tie Xuan, only participated in politics!
"absurd!"
"It's absolutely ridiculous!"
"I have never had any dealings with Yan Ni..."
Tie Xuan complained righteously, but before he could finish his words, a soldier in uniform rushed over, holding a secret letter in his hand.
"Sir, I found it. This is a secret letter written by the traitor Zhu Di!"
As soon as these words came out, it caused an uproar.
Jiang Jackal held the secret message in his hand and laughed loudly.
"Tie Xuan, Tie Xuan, what else do you have to say now?"
"This secret letter was found from a secret corner of your room. How dare you say that you didn't collude with Yan Ni?"
