"The Left Behind Department has sealed off the nine gates and eighteen water passes of Fengyang City. It is impossible to make such a decision without authorization."
"Especially when His Highness the Grand Sun is in the city."
"So this matter must be His Highness's order."
"..."
"If that's the case, what is your highness doing? To kill? Who to kill?"
"Both Eunuch Zhang and Eunuch Wu were killed in the Imperial City of Zhongdu. How many other people in the Imperial City were implicated and killed?"
In the palace of Duke Xinguo, which was full of silk clothes, in the side hall in front of the funeral, Mrs. Hu of Xinguo was sitting on the upper hand. Tang Xie, Tang Li and the male concubines of the palace were all present.
The news in Fengyang City was very scattered, and news from all places were sent back together. This made everyone in the Tang family unavoidably need to peel off the cocoons and sort out everything clearly.
Tang Li glanced at Xinguo's wife Hu above, and then at Tang Xie.
Finally, I looked outside the door and saw no one coming back to deliver the letter.
He said in a deep voice: "The Imperial City of Zhongdu is surrounded by emotions, which will inevitably last for a long time. His Highness must have discovered something when he entered the Imperial City today, so he severely punished the eunuchs and servants.
In this case, they will naturally ask all the bureaus in Zhongdu to blockade Fengyang City and track down the Xiaoxiao people hiding everywhere.
If the kid's guess is correct, His Highness will send someone to tell us and others to stay calm and not be nervous. Everything is enforced by the court impartially. "
Tang Li has been in Yingtian for a long time, and now he is the governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. He is deeply trusted by the royal family and is in charge of the Beijing army together with many meritorious officials in the court.
Although he is only a concubine of the Tang family and has no chance to ascend to the throne, he has already had a place in the Tang family.
Mrs. Xinguo, Mrs. Hu, looked over but said nothing.
Tang Xie sat on Tang Li's upper hand and immediately said, "In this case, Duke Xin's government doesn't need to do anything?"
Tang Li nodded, then shook his head.
Under the instruction of Tang Xie's puzzled and eager eyes.
He said: "According to His Highness's character, we and others can just stay still. But ministers must be loyal. We are the heirs of martial arts. After hearing about this matter, we can act according to our instincts." "
Tang Li didn't say what to do, but looked at Tang Xie.
Mrs. Hu looked out the door.
I saw the steward of Tangfu outside rushing back.
Some of the stewards of the Tang family had followed Tang He into battle to kill the enemy in the early years, but when they got old, they stayed in the house and took up stewardship.
This steward thinks so too.
Rushing back from outside the mansion, he went straight into the side hall: "Old Madam."
Mrs. Xinguo, Mrs. Hu, nodded: "What is the situation outside?"
The manager did not delay or show off, and told what had happened previously in order in a concise and concise manner.
Everyone in the hall couldn't help but be silent for a moment.
Tang Li was right.
Madam Xinguo Hu looked at Tang Li with a smile on her face: "Lao Wu, tell me what our family should do now."
Tang Li declined and said, "I think Fourth Brother has a plan, so why not ask Fourth Brother to talk about it."
After pushing Tang Xie forward, Tang Li stopped talking.
Fengyang Tang and Yingtian Tang may still have to be distinguished in the future.
Mrs. Xinguo was a little hesitant, but still looked at Tang Xie obediently: "Fourth, what have you decided on what to do?"
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
If there were any injuries or no place to go, they would all end up in the Duke of Xinguo's Mansion.
This is how the generals who made great achievements in the Ming Dynasty came to be.
Tang Li nodded silently at Tang Xie's move. This was what he thought, what the Tang family should do at this moment.
No matter what happens in Fengyang City today, every family in Huaiyou's meritorious service should stand up clearly and stand by the side of the emperor's grandson.
Even if this is a useless move.
Mrs. Xinguo's eyes were somewhat solemn as she looked at the Tang family members present.
Finally, Mr. Hu turned his attention to Tang Xie and Tang Li.
"Go ahead."
"Don't lose the face of Duke Xinguo."
Regardless of whether we agree or not, with the passing of Tang He, the Xinguo Duke's family has now reached the second generation, and the people who speak should be the sons of the second generation.
Tang Xie and Tang Li stood up immediately and looked at their adult brothers in the hall.
Tang Xie's eyes signaled Tang Li to speak.
Tang Li didn't refuse at this time. He looked at the brothers present and said in a deep voice: "Those who are above fourteen will follow me and my fourth brother out of the house. The rest will stay at home."
After Tang Li finished speaking, Tang Xie said: "Let's go!"
In a short time, nearly a hundred servants armed with swords and guns had gathered outside Duke Xinguo's mansion.
The imperial court banned weapons, but swords and guns were never included in this list.
When the sword and gun were held in hands, the expressions of the servants in Duke Xinguo's mansion who used to be kind to everyone changed drastically, showing a coldness and aloofness that would keep strangers away.
Tang Xie and Tang Li, along with their brothers who were over fourteen years old, bowed their hands to the old soldiers who had followed Tang He all their lives, and then led the entire team to rush outside the Imperial City of Zhongdu.
And at the same time.
The meritorious families of Huaiyou who were still standing in Fengyang City also sent out troops one after another.
Dozens of people, hundreds of people.
Almost every family mobilized in full force and headed for the imperial city under the leadership of the male leader.
In the city, the suppression and fighting led by the Jinyi Guards and Secret Guards continued.
Thanks to the training of Zhang Hui, a member of Jinyiwei's prison camp, Jinyiwei now has a team that has mastered the most mature torture techniques.
Whenever a hidden pile is knocked up in Fengyang City, these people can pull out the people involved in the shortest possible time, and spread out like vines, causing the hidden people in Fengyang City to rise. There is no way for the rats to escape.
Everyone in the various bureaucracies in the city marveled at the efficiency of the Jin Yiwei, and they were even more frightened by the fact that there were so many Shuoshu gangsters lurking in Zhongdu City.
Fortunately today, it was His Highness Taisun who discovered this matter, and that was how the thunderous sweep of the Central Capital was carried out. If it goes on like this without being picked up, no one knows what kind of turmoil will happen in Fengyang City, the central capital in the future.
The inspections and killings in the imperial city have gradually stopped.
In the square in front of the palace behind Youshun Gate, Qiu Fengzhen, the prefect of Fengyang, was already sweating profusely even though the autumn weather was clear and crisp.
The group of royal guards did not say anything about their crimes. After checking the identities of the captured Imperial City servants, they stabbed them in the neck and spilled their blood on the spot.
There are more and more corpses in the square, and fewer and fewer people are alive.
Qiu Fengzhen was covered in cold sweat and trembling with fear.
finally.
Someone brought tables and chairs and put up a cover for the grandson.
Zhu Yunxi sat down, turning the white jade finger on his thumb, looking blankly at Fengyang Magistrate who was kneeling on the ground.
"Prefect Qiu, do you know what these people did wrong?"
Qiu Fengzhen shook her head, moved her hands on the ground and turned her head towards the grandson: "Wei Chen... Wei Chen..."
Zhu Yunxi sneered: "Prefect Qiu has served in Fengyang for many years. As a local official, he can let the imperial city of Zhongdu be encroached on by thieves. Do we still have to wait for those people to evacuate the ancestral home of my Zhu family?"
"Wei Chen doesn't dare!"
Qiu Fengzhen fell to the ground, no one dared to excuse herself.
In the distance, an officer and soldier waved the embroidered spring knife in his hand and sent away the last identified imperial servant.
Zhu Yunxi sighed, leaned back on the chair, and looked down at Qiu Fengzhen with his eyes downcast: "There is something I just got today, but I haven't opened it yet. I wonder if Magistrate Qiu can do it for me and take a look at those things." What?"
After he finished speaking, Sun Cheng had already asked someone to carry the wooden box that he had brought from Can Can Man's place, and it landed in front of Qiu Fengzhen.
The box dropped with a clang.
Qiu Fengzhen's shoulders shook again.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the red-painted wooden box in front of him, as if he was looking at an abyss that could swallow a person, his eyes full of fear.
Qiu Fengzhen raised her head and looked at Zhu Yunxi, who was sitting on the chair, and then at Mr. Gao Ge and the young Chief Bai beside him.
Zhu Yunxi didn't speak, he was just waiting quietly for the Fengyang magistrate's choice.
But Bai Yuxiu was a little curious. He also wanted to know what secrets were hidden in the box that the crippled man took out.
Gao Yangzhi coughed slightly and his eyelids sank: "Prefect Qiu, why is your grandson hesitant now?"
The youngest cabinet minister in the empire also spoke.
Qiu Fengzhen became increasingly frightened.
"I accept your order!"
He let out a low breath, slowly puffed out his chest, stretched out his hands tremblingly, and approached the wooden box that contained the big secret.
The lock on the box has long been opened, but the box has never been opened.
Qiu Fengzhen's hands were already on the upper edge of the wooden box.
He took a deep breath and held the lid of the wooden box high with his arms.
A creak.
The wooden box was finally opened.
Bai Yuxiu on the side immediately stretched her neck silently, stood on tiptoe and looked into the box.
The eyes of everyone around him were also directed at the box.
Qiu Fengzhen was in the middle. Her knees on the ground moved forward a few times. She reached the edge of the box and lowered her head to look into the box.
What caught the eye was an ingot of gold bricks, and what appeared to be priceless jewelry.
However, on top of these piles of treasures, there are stacks of complex patterns with clear markings. The lowest ones are green ink papers with a thousand taels of silver.
After just a cursory glance, Qiu Fengzhen estimated that this stack of paper was worth far more than one hundred thousand taels of silver.
However, these were not what surprised him the most.
On the top of these things, there was a small wooden box, which attracted Qiu Fengzhen's attention.
He raised his head and looked around, seeing no one speaking, he swallowed carefully and opened the wooden box with his hands.
Letters one after another were immediately exposed to everyone.
Respect to the king of Guangling County in the Ming Dynasty!
Qiu Fengzhen's hands trembled and she hurriedly spread out the letters.
The letters were all titled Prince Guangling.
These are letters to a useless person!
In an instant, Qiu Fengzhen finally understood why there was such turmoil in Fengyang City today.
But, how is the cripple now?
A suspicion flashed through Qiu Fengzhen's mind, but she quickly suppressed it.
"Prefect Qiu can review these letters for us."
Zhu Yunxi, who had never spoken before, spoke indifferently, staring at the letters with faint eyes.
The white jade finger ring has been quietly hidden in his sleeve.
Regarding the origin of the name of the Ming Dynasty, there have been different controversies among the people over the years.
In terms of the court’s public statements.
The name of the country of Ming Dynasty naturally comes from the "Book of Changes".
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, six people came into being, riding on six dragons to control the sky.
This is the Chinese version of the Qian hexagram in the "Book of Changes", which corresponds to the name of the Yuan Dynasty. It is also the "Da Zai Qian Yuan" in the Qian hexagram, which means that the Ming Dynasty replaced it.
On this basis, there is also a poem taken from "The mountains and rivers are about to reach the land of China, and the sun and the moon are shining again in the Song Dynasty."
"The meaning of it shows that the Ming Dynasty is the orthodox bloodline of the Central Plains.
In addition to this official explanation, there is another dramatic, more eye-catching and hotly discussed statement.
Mingjiao.
Mingjiao came from outside the region and was forced to turn into an underground religious society after the Tang Dynasty. Later, it merged with the underground religious societies in the Central Plains over a long period of time and became the source of long-term local uprisings and rebellions.
In the early years of the country, there were atrocities in the Yuan Dynasty and the world was in chaos.
Everyone knows that Emperor Hongwu, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, defected to the Red Scarf Army under the name of Guo Zixing in his early years.
And where did the Red Turban Army come from?
There is a record: Kill the white horse and the black cow, swear to heaven and earth, and plan to raise an army, using the red scarf as the name.
This is the origin of the Red Scarf Army, and it is about Han Lin'er.
And where did the soldiers and horses under Han Lin'er come from?
You must know that Han Lin'er comes from a rebellious family, and his family is engaged in rebellion.
Han Lin'er's father, Han Shantong, worked as a farmer while spreading rumors in Henan and Jianghuai areas that "the world is in chaos, Maitreya Buddha is born, and King Ming is born."
At that time, the Yuan Dynasty was corrupt, the court was in turmoil, and the people were in dire straits. The rumors released by Han Shantong were naturally welcomed by the people.
Later, Liu Futong, Luo Wensu and others gathered around Han Shantong, waiting for an opportunity to plan an uprising. For a time, rebel armies from all over the country responded.
People such as Xu Shouhui, Guo Zixing, Sun Deya, Zhang Shicheng and others all emerged at that time.
However, many rebel armies took the birth of King Ming as a great cause and gathered the people to form armies and horses to fight against the Yuan Dynasty.
In a sense, Mingjiao has created a mass base to a certain extent.
Therefore, the people are more willing to believe that the Ming Dynasty was able to conquer the Central Plains and establish a new dynasty with the support of the Mingjiao.
But after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it seemed that the imperial court had tried to burn bridges against the Ming Jiao, its former financial backer.
In the early years of Hongwu, the imperial court issued an edict banning all underground religious societies.
Especially the White Lotus Sect, Daming Sect, and Maitreya Sect under the Ming Sect, they are even determined in the form of legal prohibitions.
In the past few years, the imperial court promulgated many laws such as the "Da Ming Law·Etiquette", the "Regulations of the Zhao Dynasty King's Chapter", and the "Invoke the Cardinal to Determine the Punishment of Masters for the Crime of Witchcraft" to combat the prohibition of the Ming Cult and its related underground societies. exist.
In short, no one can explain clearly how the Ming Dynasty got its name and what is the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Mingjiao. Except the emperor himself can explain it.
But what cannot be changed now is the court's severe crackdown on the White Lotus Sect and other entities.
Qiu Fengzhen opened letters one after another and kept reading the contents. Sweat dripped from her forehead like rain.
After a while, Qiu Fengzhen felt that her mouth was dry and her throat seemed to be on fire.
He raised his head in fear and looked at the emperor's grandson who had an incomprehensible expression.
"Your Highness..."
"These...these...are all written by White Lotus Sect thieves!"
"No!"
"Not a traitor to the White Lotus Sect!"
