Chapter 133 Xu Gouer
Although Ji Gang is in a confidential place. But there are some things that Ji Gang cannot know.
For example, Beijing has a hidden secret in Jinyiwei.
It can't even be said to be a hidden line.
The internal relationship between Nanjing and Beijing is inherently complicated.
When Zhu Yuanzhang was around, He Xi's use of Jinyiwei's information was almost the same as using his own family's information. Under such circumstances, how could He Xi not have any acquaintances among Jin Yiwei? After all, Jinyiwei is Zhu Yuanzhang's Jinyiwei. Even after Zhu Yunwen cleaned it, this attribute has been reduced a lot. But it still doesn't change this.
Even the more Zhu Yunwen cleaned up, the more dissatisfied some people in the Jin Yiwei were with him.
That would be fine if Zhu Yunwen remained strong.
After all, dissatisfaction is nothing more than a few complaints in private. But in the current situation, people like Jin Yiwei understand the collapse of Nanjing's situation better than others.
Therefore, they had other thoughts.
They don't believe in the young man Ji Gang, but they believe in the old acquaintance Yao Guangxiao.
Yao Guangxiao also confirmed this point again and again.
He believed that as long as these Jin Yiwei old men were brought over, everything he did in Nanjing city would be difficult for the Nanjing court to notice.
Even if it's dangerous, he still has to take the risk.
After all, Yao Guangxiao himself is not a person who is afraid of risks.
-------
Wangjiang Tower.
After Zhu Yuanzhang built Jinling City, he set up twenty-four main stores, including Wangjiang Tower. It is even said that Zhu Yuanzhang entertained princes here.
Although the world is in turmoil nowadays, Wangjiang Tower is still one of the most famous restaurants in Nanjing.
Yao Guangxiao was in the private room of Wangjiang Tower, overlooking the rolling Yangtze River. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old pushed the door open and entered. Even in disguise. But Yao Guangxiao could tell at a glance that this young man was a eunuch. He is a little eunuch.
Yao Guangxiao said: "Why doesn't Xu Baoer come to see me?"
Xu Baoer was the young eunuch who followed He Xi. After He Xi came out of the palace, he worked as a servant in He Mansion for a period of time. However, Xu Baoer's godfather was the eunuch Xu Zheng who was beside Zhu Yuanzhang. For eunuchs, they were still in the palace. more promising.
Therefore, Xu Baoer later returned to the palace and helped Xu Zheng.
After this separation, the relationship between the two parties faded.
The young eunuch whispered: "Mr. Yao, my servant Xu Gou'er, Xu Bao'er is my godfather. My godfather is no longer here."
Yao Guangxiao raised his eyebrows, feeling a sense of crisis in his heart. Xu Baoer is no longer here. So this time he comes, there will be some danger. Yao Guangxiao had already made preparations. He glanced out the window and saw a carriage outside. There is a ship on the Yangtze River.
Yao Guangxiao also made tricks on the window, so that he could directly pull the rope and land on the carriage, and then board the ship. After getting on the boat, it will be easy to escape on the Yangtze River.
Yao Guangxiao calmed down and said, "What's going on?"
Xu Gouer said: "My godfather and godfather died some time ago. The one in the palace suddenly summoned my godfather, and then killed my godfather and godfather. Many people in the palace who were related to them died. "
Yao Guangxiao only knew that Xu Zheng went to guard Zhu Yuanzhang's funeral after his death. I just never expected that I would end up like this.
The famous eunuch at that time, the leader of the eunuchs who had to show courtesy even to the prince, died so quietly.
In fact, this was all Zhu Yunwen's doubts about Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangements back then. But Xu Zheng couldn't give him the answer.
Zhu Yuanzhang can deceive everyone, but he may not be able to deceive the people around him like Xu Zheng.
But the question is, what if I tell Zhu Yunwen?
Can Zhu Yunwen spare him?
Xu Zheng understood one thing very well. After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, every day he lived was a day earned. Because he knows too much. He could only pray that no one had any idea what he knew.
Once no matter who has an idea. What awaited him was a dead end.
The only difference is how you die.
Xu Zheng had been mentally prepared for a long time.
And we cannot ignore Zhu Yuanzhang's personality charm. If Zhu Yuanzhang cannot make people willing to die, then he is not Zhu Yuanzhang. Whether he lives or dies.
For Xu Zheng, whether he betrays Zhu Yuanzhang or not, he will die. Why betray Zhu Yuanzhang? Make yourself unhappy inside.
Zhu Yunwen's purge of Xu Zheng. It's not so much a purge as it is a venting of anger. anger. Just like Zhu Yunwen's method of cutting down the vassal vassal in history, it was too cruel. It is difficult to say that it is purely a political purpose.
And for no other reason.
Yao Guangxiao asked: "Why are you fine?"
Xu Gouer said: "My godfather has long been worried that something will happen. So he gave me such a name and asked me not to show off. Even the people in the palace don't know about my relationship with my godfather."
Yao Guangxiao was silent for a moment. He didn't know whether he should believe Xu Gou'er.
Xu Gou'er said: "Please rest assured, sir, the one in the palace is acting against the will, and the Queen Mother is even more greedy. There are not just one or two people in the palace who don't like it. I don't represent myself. I only hope for the future of the imperial army. When the army approaches the city, give these poor people in the palace a way out."
A lot of what Xu Gouer said is true.
The Empress Dowager Lu in the palace is really unsuitable for many people in the palace.
Without him, Queen Ma was in the palace before, and the rules in the palace were strict, but only strict.
Zhu Yuanzhang was the most disciplined person. Whether in the military or in the palace, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhu Yuanzhang governed his family by military law. Empress Ma is a generous and open-minded person. With her in charge of the reception, she does not show favoritism. But I won’t deliberately make things difficult for others.
Empress Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang both came up from the bottom.
They can understand the hardships of the lower class.
Today's Queen Mother Lu is different.
Scholarly families, from the Song Dynasty to the present, are all famous families, and they also follow rules. But their rules are different from those formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang made rules because there would be no rule without rules. Moreover, there was a case of cuckolding Zhu Yuanzhang in Zhu Yuanzhang's palace. How could it not be strictly rectified? The behavior of Queen Mother Lu is completely different from that of Queen Ma.
If Empress Ma is right, then Empress Dowager Lu is right. In her hands, the rules in the palace are used to punish people she doesn't like. If you don't like it, I'll give you rules. As for the celebrities around the Queen Mother, there are no rules at all.
In fact, this is the normal state of feudal society. This is also the norm in Confucianism. In a word, the law is used to treat people, not me.
In the Hongwu Dynasty, the palace rules were strict, but the terms were laid down. As long as you didn't violate them, nothing would happen. However, in the Jianwen Dynasty, the punishments were unknown. The palace rules were still there, but whether to treat or not to be treated depended on the need. .
In this case, the people in the palace will naturally not be satisfied.
But if the current situation had not become increasingly difficult, these people in the palace were the most well-informed and had a glimpse of Nanjing's decline. Nor would I make such a choice.
Yao Guangxiao pondered for a moment and said, "I am deeply saddened by the death of my old friend. I won't talk about anything else today." Yao Guangxiao then poured a glass of wine on the ground and said, "I'll treat my old friend to a drink."
Xu Gouer said: "Don't worry, Mr. Yao, my godfather's connections have been left to me, and there are many uncles who secretly support me. I can do what Mr. Yao can do. Please give me a chance, Mr. Yao."
Yao Guangxiao said: "Okay. Then I will give you a chance. Within the next month, I will do a big thing in Nanjing. You ask Jin Yiwei to suppress it. No matter what reason you find, in short, you must suppress it."
Yao Guangxiao had already prepared for this matter.
In fact, he is not afraid that the Jin Yiwei will find out. After all, Wei Guogong and Cao Guogong will take the blame. Even if they are found out, it is just a stupid thing done by these two families to make money. Zhu Yunwen was determined not to uproot the two princes at this time.
Just some restrictions naturally
There are still some.
It is also difficult for Yao Guangxiao to use these two princes to do other things.
With Jin Yiwei blocking the way, it is very possible that these two chess pieces can be used in more critical positions. Let's also test whether Xu Gou'er can do things. Or maybe there was someone behind Xu Gouer.
Xu Gou'er didn't think too much and agreed immediately.
