Jinyiwei Jigang followed Zhu Di and participated in the entire Jingnan campaign.
Regarding the two Jianwen warriors Sheng Yong and Ping An, he, Zhu Gaoxu, Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng and other Jingnan nobles all vented their anger through the same nostril.
I wish I could kill them both.
Therefore, Sheng Yanyi and Heping Yi belong to a special third party, carefully following the steps every day, walking on thin ice.
Dahe Guard and Huai'an Guard are actually basically controlled by the Qingzheng Church, and they are ranked second and third in the guard and have no decision-making power.
Seeing Sheng Yanyi and Ping Yidu with gloomy expressions, they naturally understood the reason why they took the risk to come to see him.
Sheng Yanyi was still comforting Ping Yi in a low voice:
"Don't worry, since Mr. Xu comes out to see us, he will definitely help us find a solution."
This was obviously meant for Xu Qin.
But no matter what, they should not meet in private on the territory of Mei Chen and other Jianwen Party members.
Unless there is something extremely urgent or something that can be made public, it needs to be reported to him face to face.
Xu Qin frowned and asked:
"Tell me, why are you so anxious to see this imperial envoy?"
Sheng Yong replied:
"Sir, last night both Dahe Guard and Huai'an Guard dispatched dozens of soldiers to Fuman Tower to perform special tasks."
"These so-called special tasks are aimed at you, Mr. Xu."
"These soldiers are our subordinates. Before setting off, the superior officers forced me to sign and sign. We had no choice but to do so."
"..."
The two of them talked a lot, but there was nothing new for Xu Qin.
He had already guessed this.
Sheng Yong and He Yi sneaked out to talk to Xu Qin alone, just to shirk their responsibilities in advance.
I was afraid that being too late would cause Xu Qin to misunderstand, or even cause accidental injury.
"You took the risk of sneaking out and calling me out again just to clear yourself?"
Xu Qin was obviously quite dissatisfied.
Faced with doubts, both of them lowered their heads and did not dare to answer.
If you dare not answer, you have already answered.
Ping Yi's hand retracted into his sleeve unconsciously.
In the secret pocket of his sleeve, he had a piece of evidence about Mei Chen's dispatch of the Guards Cavalry out of the city.
But he still dared not hand it over.
Xu Qin turned around and was about to return to the report hall, but was stopped by Sheng Yong.
"Master Xu!"
"what happened again?"
Xu Qin stopped and turned around to glare.
Obviously, he hasn't calmed down yet.
Sheng Chun looked solemn and reminded in a low voice:
"It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Please leave as soon as possible!"
After hearing this, Xu Qin was very disapproving and snorted coldly:
"Don't worry about these. Go back to the banquet hall first. I will be there later."
After saying that, he strode away without looking back.
The two stood there in shock, then shook their heads.
It was precisely because they were outmatched by their respective guards that they fully understood the dangers of officialdom.
But Xu Qin was an imperial envoy to the third-rank court official, and he was also a master of arts and a bold military god.
On behalf of the emperor, who was patrolling outside, his status was comparable to that of Li Shanchang in the early Hongwu period. He was aloof and had the power of life and death.
It's just that the Mei family has been in control of Huai'an Mansion for decades.
Starting from Mei Sizu and continuing to Mei Yin and Mei Chen, this place is deeply rooted.
The Fu Cheng, Tong Magistrate, etc. are all from Mei Chen.
Mei Yin had 200,000 Huai troops under his command. Last year, 150,000 to 60,000 troops were disbanded locally, and in the remaining five years they were transferred to Huainan, Runan and other places.
The three guards currently staying in Huai'an Prefecture are none other than Mei Yin's old tribe, and are truly the 'Mei Family Army'.
When Sheng Yanyi and Pingyi entered the Mei family army, they only had two or three kittens around them, and they couldn't compete with them at all.
Again, if Mei Chen intends to kill someone in Huai'an Mansion, there is no need to go to great lengths.
But Xu Qin knew it well.
Although Mei Chen is a member of the Jianwen Party and even an elder of the Qingzheng Church, this action is related to the safety of the Mei family.
Currently, the head of the Mei clan is still Mei Yin.
From historical records, we learned that Mei Yin did oppose Zhu Di's proclaimed emperor and did not support it, but he was a calm man and he did not dare to risk the annihilation of the nine tribes and raise an army to rebel.
Otherwise, there would be no need for him to go to Nanjing and bow his head during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year.
You know, he still had more than 200,000 troops at that time.
At least, he doesn't dare to kill Xu Qin now.
Of course, radicals like Mao Dafang are not excluded from jumping over the wall in a hurry.
But for a small group of enemies, Xu Qin was not afraid at all.
To be honest, he wished that these people would jump out and he would take the opportunity to eradicate them so as not to harm other people, even innocent people.
In the main banquet hall, all the officials from Huai'an Prefecture gathered together.
Mei Chen, Wu Qingfeng and other prominent figures in the government office were basically present.
At the wine table, people were changing glasses, talking and laughing, but in reality everyone was harboring evil intentions.
I don't know what the imperial envoy has in mind.
Someone went to take a look at the imperial minister's face, but saw that he looked calm and calm, as if nothing had happened, and he felt relieved.
"Come here, Mr. Xu. After three rounds of drinking, this is the wine that I would like to toast to you privately. Please show your respect."
Mei Chen raised a full glass of wine, but not even a drop of wine was spilled.
However, Xu Qin immediately sat still, which instantly cooled down the lively scene.
"Your Majesty, let me fill up the wine glass for Mr. Xu."
With a smile on his face, Wu Qingfeng picked up the wine bottle and stood up to fill Xu Qin's wine glass.
Xu Qin glanced over like a hawk.
When Wu Qingfeng glanced at him like this, his heart skipped a beat, and he spilled a lot of wine with a shake of his hand.
Maybe he was hiding something in his heart, which was in sharp contrast to Mei Chen who was calm and composed.
"Lord Mei, everyone!"
Xu Qin stood up and said in a deep voice:
"I just had three rounds of drinks with you, mainly to express His Majesty the current Emperor's heartfelt gratitude and full affirmation to all of you for your hard work."
"There are still many things to do next. I hope that everyone will actively respond to the court's new policy, mobilize and even persuade their clan elders, parents, brothers and sisters to take the overall situation into consideration and not to go against the court."
"But despite this, there are still some officials who think they can hide the truth and dare to hire assassins, kill court officials, assassinate imperial ministers, set fire to restaurants, and burn civilians to death on the spot."
Having said this, he glanced at Wu Qingfeng and said with a stern expression:
"Fellow ministers, please tell me what crime such an official deserves!"
As soon as he finished speaking, no one below dared to respond, and they all waited quietly for the next step.
By this time, if Wu Qingfeng hadn't reacted, then his decades in officialdom would have been in vain.
I saw Wu Qingfeng put the wine glass to his mouth, drank it by himself, and said:
"What the imperial envoy said tonight is very targeted. For such a crime, one should be cut into pieces to be avenged. May I ask Master Xu, who is this person?"
This move is undoubtedly extremely impolite, and at least it commits the following crimes.
This made the officials present change their expressions upon hearing this.
"Master Yang, please read it to everyone."
Xu Qin said indifferently.
"As commanded."
Yang Shiqi responded, took out a small stack of complaints from his arms, and began to read aloud.
