The commander of the Jin Yiwei sent Jiang Wei away from the Sophora Tree Courtyard. His face was a little ambiguous when he left, but he was not indifferent to outsiders.
The remaining Tongzhi, Zhenfu, Qianhu and others in the Yamen also left. Only a group of Jinyi guards were left in the imperial prison. No matter how the cages in the prison were opened, or those incompetent disciples could really open the cages.
Now that there are people dead in the imperial prison, they are still hostile to the disciples. This makes the Jinyiwei Yamen no longer dare to take it lightly.
At least, it is no longer Jin Yiwei's decision to decide whether someone dies. The yamen is fair and impartial, and the reputation that has been publicized during these days cannot be ruined.
Sun Cheng also left, received the order from the commander, and entered the palace to report the news. The "remains" of Tang Keke, the son who was beaten to death, were kindly changed into a piece of white cloth by Sun Cheng's subordinates, carried out of the Yamen, put on a cart, and sent away outside the city.
If you are more careful, you will find that these good people are all the former Yulin Guard officers and soldiers who followed Deputy Sun Qianhu from the East Palace to serve as Jinyi Guards.
Things in the Jinyiwei Yamen were not covered up this time and could not be covered up. Soon, the news that Tang Keke, a scholar who supported Xinxue, was about to be released from prison, was beaten to death because more than a thousand Neo-Confucian students broke out of prison, quickly spread throughout the east city. In the ears of caring people in the heavenly city.
It smells like a storm is coming. However, tomorrow is Hongwu's twenty-fifth year Enke meeting, and it is better to suppress the case of the dead person first.
After the names are recorded on the gold list, they will probably break out together and fight with each other. Outside Yingtian City.
People who have never been to Jiangnan don’t know how abundant the water is in Jiangnan. The rivers and streams running through the streets and alleys in the city have been filled in due to the construction of the city.
Outside the city, there was nothing to worry about. No one would think of filling in the river. After all, it didn't matter whether the gentry or the farmers, they all needed water to irrigate their fields.
It is precisely because of the abundance of water that the prosperity of Jiangnan is created. There are many cemeteries at the eastern foot of Shenlie Mountain. On the mountain is Xiaoling Mausoleum, which no one dares to covet. It is the territory of the emperor's family. Now Empress Xiaoci is buried. I think it will become the Longling Tomb of His Majesty the Emperor in the future.
Even the rich and powerful would not dare to ruin the feng shui of Shenlie Mountain. But nearby, at the eastern foot of Shenlie Mountain, it is possible to take advantage of the feng shui of the emperor's family and bury the family's ancestors in the ground.
After all, the emperor was kind to everyone in the world. No matter the dignitaries or the common people, they could rest in peace at the eastern foot of Mount Shenlie.
This also led to the fact that at the eastern foot of Shenlie Mountain, many nobles and nobles were buried, and in places with bad feng shui, gentry and common people were mostly buried.
By the way, some places that were really not very good gradually turned into mass graves. At this time, the autumn grain has been put into the warehouse, and the surrounding fields of Yingtian City are completely deserted, with nothing to see in the fields.
There is a circle of trees growing around an unnamed small river. The evergreen branches and leaves all year round make this forest look inconspicuous.
However, it is more because this area is too dark. Across the river bank, there is a depression where no crops can be planted. It is crowded with messy withered grass. The black water is pushed away when you step on it, exuding an irritating stench and a strong smell like urine.
Among the withered grass, small earthen bags grew arrogantly and rudely. Blackbirds hovering in the sky swooped down, hoping to peck a few bugs from the small earthen bags.
The secret guard Tian Mai hid the horse in the forest and walked slowly to a patch of thatch under the river bank.
"Who!" A man who was already dressed similar to Tian Mai suddenly rushed out from the thatch on one side, holding a Yanling sword in his hand, with the handle already more than three inches out of the sheath.
Seeing that it was Tian Mai, the man nodded and put away the knife: "Has everything in the city been done?" Tian Mai hummed, "I guess it won't take long to send the person here." The man said again: "Look back. Make arrangements and send him across the river at night." Tian Mai nodded, but his eyes were looking toward the river bank behind the thatch and facing the water: "Where is the Third Master?" The man turned sideways and thrust his chin forward.
Tianmai bent down and got into the thatch. After a few steps, his eyes suddenly opened up, and the river flowed quietly in front of him.
On a protruding flat land on the shore, Zhu Yunxi, who was wearing a less conspicuous sash and a bamboo hat on his head, sat on a haystack, holding a bamboo pole in his hand and watching the floating boat attentively. Fish float on the water.
The fish float had already moved up and down a little, and Yutian, who had found his grandson, did not dare to say anything. He bent over and waited aside, staring at the water with the same intense gaze.
Whoosh. The fish float was completely submerged in the water. Not a big fish. Tian Mai sighed in his heart. Then Zhu Yunxi gently lifted his hand holding the fishing rod and caught the yellow pepper fish with a tail that was no longer than his hand.
The whole yellow pepper has a black back and a yellow belly, and its slippery tail sways constantly, making a clear sound.
Before Zhu Yunxi could take the fish. Tian Mai had already stepped forward, and with one move of his hand, he pinched the hard thorn on Huang Lading's back.
Another one came out of the other hand, and the fishhook slipped out of Huang Lading's mouth. The catch was put into a bamboo cage submerged in the water.
Tian Mai picked up the river water and washed away the slippery mucus on his hands. Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows and looked at Tianmai, who was coming from the city, and said softly: "Today we have caught yellow pepper diced and white strips. When we return to the palace tonight, we can cook a pot of miscellaneous fish, sprinkle with onions, ginger, garlic, vine peppers, Sichuan pepper is a special flavor. It would be best if we bring a few more crucian carps and stew them with tofu." Tian Mai coughed lightly: "Third Master, Tang Juren is dead." He doesn't like to eat fish, because river fish have many spines. , not as delicious as the rattan pepper white chicken, but the third master’s preference is his own preference.
Tian Mai stretched his head and looked at the bamboo cage again. It was full of yellow pepper diced and white strips. He felt that he should ask for a few more jars of Zhenjiang mature vinegar from the imperial chef today.
Zhu Yunxi put the fishing rod on the fishing rod holder inserted in the haystack, clapped his hands meaninglessly, then picked up the dead grass on the ground and rubbed it in his hands.
The fishy smell of Bayi Chinese website is very unpleasant, but after rubbing it, at least the palms are not so sticky.
Zhu Yunxi then turned to look at Tian Mai: "What's the situation in the city now?" Since he started to host court meetings alone three months ago, neither the old man nor his father seemed to be really willing to take care of the Ming Dynasty anymore. Everything was thrown to him.
As for his attitude towards the dispute over Confucian orthodoxy, he also made it clear three months ago that although he would be biased, he would not clearly help which side.
Due to dereliction of duty, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture caused thousands of people gathered in Dongcheng to be demoted to Hangzhou, and the magistrate of Shangyuan County also went there.
The few people who took the lead on the day from the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple were also taken advantage of by Zhan Hui, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, to initiate impeachment. Now it is unknown where they were arranged by the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhan Hui, to eat ashes.
As for Liu Sanwu, a member of Zhongshushe, after being reprimanded by the emperor's grandson, he stayed at home and devoted himself to learning all day long.
I just occasionally go to the Imperial College to give lectures. As a result, the court remained silent about the internal strife among Confucians.
Tian Maili clarified his thoughts and said in a low voice: "Today Liu Sanwu went to the Imperial College as usual and was still teaching Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. It seems that he wanted to make the Imperial College the young foundation of Neo-Confucianism." Since he can't fight in the court, it makes sense for Liu Sanwu to go to the Imperial College. Among them, there was no way to say this. Since Zhu Yunxi had made the attitude of the court ignoring the matter, he could not ban Liu Sanwu from going to the Imperial College.
The Ming Dynasty today is not the Ming Dynasty two hundred years later, and it is even less likely that Zhu Yunxi will rebel against himself. Butt!
With a sigh in his heart, Zhu Yunxi asked again: "But there are other things happening." Tian Mai thought for a while, automatically skipping those unimportant or boring things, and continued: "Ren Hengtai called the troupe to go home early in the morning. , it was said that the minister is going to have a show at home for three days." Zhu Yunxi immediately snorted: "He is really not in a hurry at all."
"There is nothing unusual in Ren Hengtai's family, and the Jin Yiwei also recorded the same." Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "Ren Hengtai has no objections, but our general civil servant leader, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the Censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, what did he do today? ?" Tian Mai thought about what Zhan Hui had done today, and whispered: "As usual, I go to the Yamen and act as an agent for the Ministry of Personnel and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. However... Zhan Hui seems to want to let the Ministry of Personnel take the merit examination. Move." The whole process was conducted by the Ministry of Officials of the Ming Dynasty to test the merits of the officials.
This is the department that controls the work evaluation and summary of officials across the country. Zhu Yunxi turned his eyes and said, "It's not unreasonable for the old man to trust him." He sighed.
Tian Mai didn't have a chance to think about Zhan Hui's intention in asking the examination director to make a move. Then I heard a movement not far away.
Tian Mai quickly turned around, exerted force on his feet, and reached the shore in three or two steps, then turned back quietly after a while.
"Third Master, they sent Tang Juren over, and Gao Yangzhi is also here." Zhu Yunxi did not speak, but stared at the undulating fish float, and suddenly put his hands on the support frame. Hold the fishing rod on the top and use a soft force.
Then I saw a crucian carp with a golden back emerging from the water. With a clang, the crucian carp with a tail as long as a chopstick was thrown into the bamboo cage by Zhu Yunxi.
The earthworms were still on the fishhook and were sent directly into the river. Only then did Zhu Yunxi whisper: "Go ahead. What you want to say can only be raised high, he knows." Tian Mai hesitantly glanced at the ripples on the river surface caused by the fishhook and float falling into the water, and nodded silently. , quietly went ashore.
When they arrived on the shore, Tian Mai saw Gao Yangzhi and two of Sun Cheng's men pulling the cart to the bottom of the forest.
Tian Mai glanced at the white cloth covering the cart and couldn't help but ask: "You haven't woken up yet?" He raised his head and raised his hands. Tian Mai was the commander of the secret guard, and he was just an ordinary member. After seeing the ceremony, he Then he said: "Maybe I put too much medicinal powder." After saying that, Gao Yangzhi turned his neck silently and looked around. He didn't see the person he wanted to see, but he felt a little disappointed in his eyes, but then he saw The thatched patch of grass under the bank made me feel nervous again.
Tian Mai glanced at the new member of the secret guard indifferently, walked into the forest and took out a kettle from the horse. When he got to the cart, he lifted up the white cloth. Without caring about anything else, he pulled out the stopper and poured a kettle of water on it. Tang Keke's face also had bruises on his cheeks.
The cart shook violently. Tang Keke, who seemed to have faked his corpse and came back to life, suddenly straightened up his back and sat upright on the cart.
His eyes widened, his face was bruised, his mouth widened, and he breathed deeply, as if he was really a resurrected person who had been spared by the Lord of Hell.
What caught Tang Keke's eyes were two Jinyi guards, and turning around was Gao Yangzhi who was standing beside him with his arms folded and a teasing smile on his face.
Tang Keke never exclaimed or was shocked. He just widened his eyes, opened his mouth silently, jumped out of the trolley, grabbed Gao Yangzhi's chest heavily with both hands, and actually lifted him up out of thin air.
Gao Yangzhi first signaled that Tian Mai and the two Jinyi guards were okay, then raised his hands and looked at Tang Keke with a smile: "You are not dead. The medicine just made your heart pulse unable to flow, and there were some reactions on your body due to the medicinal materials. ." Tang Keke seemed to be unable to hear, staring at Gao Yangzhi and breathing heavily through his mouth.
After a long time, his arms softened, and Gao Yangzhi accidentally fell to the ground. And Tang Keke also fell to the ground.
Tian Mai wanted to step forward and tell Tang Keke clearly what happened today, but Gao Yangzhi refused again.
"Are you a Jin Yiwei? No, you are not. You are from the secret guard!" Tang Keke finally spoke, never taking his eyes away from Gao Yangzhi.
Gao Yangzhi nodded and shook his head: "I am a member of the secret guard, but it was only taken over by my great-grandson this year after he came back from Zhejiang Road. My father was an old secret guard and died in Zhejiang Road last year, so I I took over the job." Tang Keke nodded and let the water on his face fall on his body drop by drop.
After a while, I probably smoothed my train of thought. Tang Keke then spoke again: "Does Grandson also want me to join the secret guard? I can't stay in Yingtian City any longer and can't show up. Where does Grandson want me to go?" Gao Yangzhi glanced at Tang Keke silently. Anyone who can pass the examination is not a fool just because he is tall and tall. He can react to the current situation so quickly.
Gao Yangzhi then said: "Go to Peking, and you will serve as a secret guard. Someone will arrange for you to join the Peking Capital Division. The rest will be up to you to go outside the Great Wall to gain military exploits." Tang Keke's pupils shrank sharply, and then slowly recovered. Taking a deep breath, he didn't ask why he went to Peking to be a secret guard or who the person he wanted to deal with was. He just asked: "Who can I trust?"
"Beiping Dusidu commanded the Qianshi Zhang Zhiyuan." Gao Yangzhi said a name silently. Tang Keke was slightly shocked.
Zhang Zhiyuan, the third-rank Peiping Dusi Dusi, is in charge of Qian Shi. This is an official position awarded by the imperial court for meritorious service when the kings came to Beijing this year.
However, he also has another identity, the commander of the escort department of Prince Yan's palace. Tang Keke looked at Gao Yangzhi who was watching him silently in front of him, and he nodded gently.
Immediately, he spoke again: "Then Yingtian City..." Gao Yangzhi immediately whispered: "The grandson is here in Yingtian!" Tang Keke stood up and looked around.
Suddenly he knelt down to the river bank not far away behind the thatch and said, "I thank you."... I'm alive!
