The businessman who came from Xingxian County, Taiyuan Prefecture, and spent half of his family property to find an official position for his children. The merchant whose family took over the supply of grain and grass from Kaizhong, a border guard station, knelt on the trestle trembling with fear.
Fu Xuesheng could not have imagined that his trip from Xing County to Taiyuan City was supposed to be to seek official positions for the clan's children and to gain opportunities for the family to participate in the opening-up system to supply food and grass for the frontier army.
Now, it has become an interrogation facing the emperor's grandson.
His two buttocks were trembling, he was frightened, his forehead was sweating, and his back was numb.
The civil and military officials of the Northern Expedition who were sitting in various places on the trestle looked curiously at Fu Xuesheng who was kneeling behind Taisun.
Based on Taisun's past deeds, they quickly reached a unified conclusion in a tacit understanding.
This man is going to be in trouble.
Zhu Yunxi was staring at the water.
He seemed to be a little unlucky today. Even Cao Zhen, a big boss, could bring in four or five fish, but he hadn't caught any yet.
Lifting the fishing rod, the original bait on the straight hook disappeared as before.
Zhu Yunxi Shanshan smiled, retracted the hook, hung the bait, threw it into the water, and fixed it on the wooden frame.
After that, he turned his head slightly and looked sideways.
"What is your name."
Fu Xuesheng trembled all over and fell to the ground, sweat falling like rain on his face.
"The villain, Fu Xuesheng, pays homage to His Royal Highness, the Emperor Taisun."
"It's a good name." Zhu Yunxi said casually, looking at the sky where snowflakes started to fly again, squinting slightly: "Yesterday, you also came to Fenshui. There was no snowfall yesterday, but there is no snow in Fenshui. Extremely cold?"
Fu Xuesheng looked horrified.
I paid half of my family wealth in exchange for the big fish that yesterday I jumped into the Fen River downstream, south of Taiyuan City, to catch the big fish for Guo Yuchuang, a left-wing politician in Shanxi Province. Here comes the coming prosperity and wealth of the Fu family.
Zhu Yunxi hummed: "That's interesting. Tell me, did you eat all the fish yesterday?"
It turns out that this person was in Taiyuan yesterday.
It turns out that the person who jumped into Fenshui to catch fish yesterday was the person in front of me.
The civil and military officials accompanying them on the trestle had ambiguous looks in their eyes.
Fu Xuesheng became increasingly frightened and uneasy.
On the trestle.
The banging and banging sounds of worship also began to sound.
Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly: "Stop it. Look at you, no one asked you to fish in the water yesterday, but you insisted on jumping into Fenshui. Today, no one asked you to kowtow like this, but your head is covered with blood. . If there are people who don’t know, would they still think that this is caused by loneliness and violence?”
The skin on his forehead was bruised and his head was covered in blood. Fu Xuesheng was startled and stopped.
He knelt on the ground, raised his head carefully, and only exposed his eyes, looking at the back in front of him with fear.
"The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare."
"I see you are quite courageous." Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly and said gloomily: "When did I, the imperial official of the Ming Dynasty, become someone you and I can exchange privately with each other?"
Fu Xuesheng's eyes began to show fear, and he lost his voice: "The villain doesn't know... they... they said..."
"What did they say? That all this is in compliance with the rules of the Ming Dynasty and does not violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Yunxi sneered: "Let me ask you, those people who are trading with you. Did you know that they are going to rebel?"
rebel?
Grandpa God.
If it weren't for the pain on his forehead that kept irritating him, Fu Xuesheng would have almost fainted from the shock of these words.
He kept explaining: "The villain doesn't know! The villain really doesn't know! The villain doesn't know that they are going to... do these things."
With a sneer on his face, Zhu Yunxi looked sideways at Gao Yangzhi: "In the Ming Dynasty law, what is the crime for treason?"
Gao Yangzhi's expression condensed.
He stood up slowly, bowed and clasped his fists, and glanced sideways at Fu Xuesheng.
"Report to Your Highness, in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
For those who commit the crime of treason and treason, their grandfathers, fathers, sons, brothers, and people living together, regardless of their surnames; and the sons of uncles and brothers, regardless of their nationality, who are sixteen or older years of age, regardless of whether they are seriously ill or disabled, will be executed!
Committing treason and treason, but those who are complicit in the conspiracy will be killed regardless of their leader!
Anyone who conspires to commit treason and hides his knowledge will be killed! "
All three were chopped off, and when they reached Fu Xuesheng's ears, they made him feel dizzy.
From Gao Yangzhi's answer, as long as you are involved in rebellion or treason, you are within the scope of being questioned and executed by the court, even if you have done nothing.
Wang Xinling, who should have won first place in this fishing event without any jackpot if he made no mistakes today, looked at Fu Xuesheng's fearful and uneasy look.
A hint of cunning appeared on Wang Xinling's face, and he said quietly: "Well, Fu Xuesheng, if you have had transactions with those people, you will be counted as a participant, and all nine tribes will be killed based on the crime."
boom.
Fu Xuesheng collapsed on the ground.
How could he have thought that he just came to Taiyuan City and almost squandered all his family wealth, just so that the descendants of the family who have achieved fame can get an official position, and the Fu family can get a share of the profit. .
How could he be guilty of treason and killing nine clans in one day?
The trestle bridge on Fenshui River made a low and sad whimpering sound.
Fu Xuesheng could not utter a single word. He just felt that the entire Fu family was going to be doomed this time.
Gao Yangzhi and others looked at Zhu Yunxi quietly. Based on their understanding of the emperor's grandson, it was impossible that he was just trying to kill Fu Xuesheng from the Nine Clan.
So, today's Fenshui fishing, and then Tianmai brought Fu Xuesheng, he had other plans.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi fell silent, looking thoughtful.
He sat on the edge of the trestle and stretched one hand out of the umbrella above his head.
Outside, the falling snowflakes slowly fell on his palm.
Pieces of snowflakes, crystal clear.
When it first fell into the palm of my hand, the shape of the snowflake and the lines on it were clearly visible. Just with the body temperature, the snowflakes melted into a drop of snow water at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Feel the coolness of the melting snow in the palm of your hand.
Zhu Yunxi whispered: "Do you want to live?"
Fu Xuesheng raised his head sharply, his eyes full of tears, and his whole face was covered with snot and tears.
He sobbed a few times and nodded heavily.
"The villain wants... to live!"
"Your Highness can do anything you want me to do. As long as you can forgive me a way to live, I can go up mountains of swords and seas of fire!"
Zhu Yunxi finally turned around, put his hands behind his back, and stood in front of Fu Xuesheng, so that he could only see his boots-clad feet.
He lowered his head and looked down at Fu Xuesheng, who was kneeling at his feet, with a smile of control on his face.
"really?"
Fu Xuesheng was stunned, and in an extremely qualified posture, he prostrated at Zhu Yunxi's feet: "From now on, Your Highness will be the villain's reborn parent!"
Zhu Yunxi sneered: "That would give you an advantage."
Fu Xuesheng was stunned and quickly explained: "The villain doesn't dare, it's because the villain is confused."
"Actually, there's nothing difficult for you to do."
Zhu Yunxi spoke softly, and his attitudes were completely different.
Fu Xuesheng, who was kneeling in front of his feet, raised his head, his eyes shining brightly.
"On the night of Prince Jin's birthday in four days, you will have the opportunity to enter Prince Jin's palace. At that time, you can listen to Gu's signal and lead a rebellion."
"The villain will definitely work hard and die! Die...die..."
Fu Xuesheng's face was full of a smile that escaped death, but suddenly his whole body stiffened and his face became frozen.
He smiled wryly, raised his head and looked at the aloof Emperor Taisun, and hesitated: "Rebellion...rebellion...?"
"Yes! It's a rebellion!" Zhu Yunxi's eyes flashed, he squatted down, reached out and patted Fu Xuesheng on the shoulder.
There was a snap.
Fu Xuesheng, who had just raised his head, fell to the ground again.
Zhu Yunxi glared and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, it was Gu who asked you to rebel. No one in the world knows better than Gu when it comes to how to rebel. When the time comes, you just have to do what Gu said, I'll keep you safe."
Gao Yangzhi, who originally didn't know why the emperor's grandson suddenly brought Fu Xuesheng here today, finally showed a hint of understanding on his face.
Fu Xuesheng swore that his mind was spinning the fastest in his life now.
After a long, long time.
Now that I have thought about it clearly, if I don't agree, I will die now. If I agree, even if I still have to be convicted, my death will be delayed by a few days.
With this idea in mind, Fu Xuesheng raised his chest and held his head high.
"The villain does it!"
A smile appeared on Zhu Yunxi's face: "Those who listen to advice will always have good luck. Come here and I will teach you how to rebel."
Fu Xuesheng was completely ruined at this time.
Anyway, one will die, and one more day to live is one day.
He nodded very simply.
There was a period of silence on the Fenshui trestle.
After a long time, Fu Xuesheng was taken away again under the supervision of Tian Mai.
Under the large umbrellas on the trestle, civil and military officials were patrolling the north, silently watching Fu Xuesheng, whose figure was obscured by the increasing wind and snow, disappear from sight.
"Your Highness's script has been written now."
As the snow falls, the temperature begins to drop again.
Gao Yangzhi huddled his hands in his sleeves and asked in a low voice.
Zhu Yunxi squinted his eyes and looked at Taiyuan City hidden behind the wind and snow.
He whispered: "It's not that there are people from the Tatar tribe who have entered Taiyuan City, but this place has not been laid out yet."
"Tatar tribe?" Gao Yangzhi frowned.
In his imagination, the Tatar thieves who sneaked into Taiyuan City were just part of the purge of Shanxi Road this time.
A few Tatars who secretly sneaked into Taiyuan City can still survive any big storms.
Zhu Yunxi glanced at Gao Yangzhi: "I forgot in the spring breeze. This time we are going to patrol the north of Beijing, but we still have an errand to inspect the border."
Gao Yangzhi's pupils shrank and he whispered: "Your Highness wants to personally use troops on the grassland?"
"We, the descendants of the old Zhu family, should set foot on the grassland in person. Not to mention sealing the wolf as a cub, we should also drive the Yuan thieves thousands of miles away."
On the bank of Fenshui in the wind and snow, a heroic look appeared on the face of the imperial grandson.
Wow.
In the Fenshui, there was the sound of rushing water and splashing water.
"Taishun! The fish is hooked!"
I don't know who shouted, Zhu Yunxi's eyes widened, he suddenly turned around, picked up the fishing rod fixed on the shelf with both hands, and used both arms hard.
The fishing rod was instantly stretched by the big fish that took the bait underwater.
"drink!"
Zhu Yunxi let out a low shout, and moved his hands quickly, defending and lifting the pole.
Not long.
A big fish as long as a calf jumped out of the water.
In the wind and snow, water splashed everywhere, breaking through the snowflakes.
There was a pop.
The big fish was lifted onto the trestle, and the fat fish kept hitting the wooden board with its tail forcefully.
After a few movements, the straight hook slipped out of the fish's mouth.
It's just that this big fish will never return to the water.
…
It also snowed in Yingtian.
In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, it was the first snow in early winter.
After noon, the dark clouds that had accumulated since last night finally couldn't hold it back any longer, and sparse snowflakes fell.
There is no wind, and small snowflakes are floating in the air and falling.
When it reaches the ground, it melts immediately.
If you want to see the snow scene in Yingtian, with this kind of snowfall, I'm afraid you have to wait until tomorrow.
The imperial city entrenched to the east of Yingtian City is majestic and silent. Against the backdrop of Zhongshan Mountain, it looks even more solemn and inviolable.
The crimson palace walls were wetted by melted snow, making the red color even deeper.
Bright glazed tiles built palaces one after another.
No matter which angle you look at from Yingtian City, the Imperial City looks like a towering mountain with overlapping peaks, and you can't see the edge.
Because of the snowfall, there were fewer people walking around the palace.
His Majesty the Emperor is kind most of the time. For example, at this time, he will stop unnecessary things so that the maids and chamberlains can stay in the house to keep warm.
Qianqing Palace.
Outside the palace gate there are falling snowflakes, but inside the palace gate it is warm and pleasant.
If it had been in the past, it would have been impossible for the emperor to hurriedly ask people to use heating stoves on snowy days like this in early winter.
The thrifty emperor would have to wait until the coldest winter to use the stove, but that was only to give him a little warmth so that he could continue to deal with the military affairs that would never be finished.
It's just that this year is different.
Those two little people in the Palace of Qianqing are very important to His Majesty the Emperor, and also to the entire Ming Dynasty.
The emperor gave almost everything he could to those two little people.
A figure outside the palace walked to the palace gate with slow steps.
The man stood in front of the palace gate, shook his shoulders, and reached out to pat the snow on his body.
"Please tell me, Your Majesty, that there is news about your grandson."
The chamberlain guarding the palace gate glanced at the other party, nodded and then turned around and entered the palace.
Not long after, the chamberlain appeared in front of the palace gate again: "Go in, don't go in too deep, you will bring the cold air in."
The man nodded.
Arrived in the palace.
The man raised his head quickly, and then lowered his head quickly.
I saw the emperor holding the daughter of Taisun's family, standing in the side hall and spinning around, muttering something in his mouth.
The crown prince sat behind a desk, holding a red pen, handling the empire's military and political affairs.
Zhu Yuanzhang stopped, holding Zhu Fuling in his arms, frowning and looking at the people outside.
"whats the matter?"
The man immediately made a snap and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun has recently led the Northern Patrol Team and two guards and horses under Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, to enter Shanxi Road. I think that by this time, His Highness has arrived at Taiyuan City."
