Zhu Yunwen did not know Pei Boxi, nor did Ming officials. As for whether he was a liar for political speculation, Zhu Yunwen did not want to delve into it.
The existence of this person is helpful for Ming Dynasty to take back Annan, and this is enough.
As for the authenticity of identity, sometimes it seems not that important.
Seeing how brave he is as a loyal minister, let him cultivate and wait in the capital. At least he ran away from Annan, so he knew some information about Annan, which was still valuable.
But some show is still needed. Zhu Yunqi was moved by Pei Boxi's words. He scolded the Annan Hu family in front of the civil and military officials of the court. He once again mentioned the Hu family's sending an army into the Siming Mansion of the Ming Dynasty and strictly ordered to investigate what the Hu family had done. He said that if it was true as Pei Boxi said, he would make Annan Hu look good.
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were all old oil fields, and they shared the same hatred and advocated severe punishment for the Annan Hu family. After the court, whether they should drink tea or drink tea, and whether they should drink wine or drink.
The Annan Hu family has little to do with me.
There was no movement from the Ministry of War, and Shangshu Tiexuan was busy wandering around the shipyards to supervise the construction of sea-going ships. Considering that the dredging of the Huitong River had already begun, a number of river ships needed to be built to transport grain.
The Ministry of Rites doesn't care about Annan's affairs. As long as Pei Boqi eats, drinks and has fun, there is nothing else to do.
As for the investigation of Annan, it was just a formality. The six ministers and the cabinet knew exactly what was going on inside Annan. However, the civilian officials did not want to launch a larger-scale war. Zhu Yunwen had been restrained because the time was not ripe. , formed a strange phenomenon, which can be described in one sentence:
I know that the Hu family in Annan has rebelled, but I don't plan to deal with the Hu family today, let's talk about it another day.
Not far from the gate of Xi'an, there is a high-walled courtyard. Four guards stand at the door, with embroidered spring knives hanging on their waists, looking majestic.
This is a stronghold of the Security Bureau in the capital.
Zhu Yunwen entered the compound accompanied by Gu Sanshen and Xiong Wucheng.
According to the regulations of the imperial court, the Security Bureau itself does not have the power to punish people, and naturally there is no so-called prison. However, considering some special circumstances, the Security Bureau had to break away from the Criminal Department and detain some people alone.
For example, the two swordsmen Guo Luan and Qu You.
For this reason, a medical center was set up within the Security Bureau, and Guo Luan and Qu You were transferred out of the Ministry of War prison in the name of "medical care and recuperation."
Bao Zhao, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, initially disagreed with the Security Bureau's nomination, but Hou Tai believed that Qu You and Guo Luan were closely related. If something unexpected happened in the Prison of the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War would be the unlucky one, and he might even be affected.
Considering that this is a huge whirlpool, there are not many opportunities to escape. Now that the Security Bureau has taken the initiative, the Criminal Department just takes this opportunity to extract it, which is much easier.
After all, whether a person leaves Xingbu whether he is alive or dead has nothing to do with Xingbu.
Qu You has been tortured to the point of being crippled, unconscious, and pretending to be stupid from time to time. The possibility of finding information from him is not high.
But Guo Luan is still alive and well. Although he mutilated himself, suffered a concussion, and pretended to have intermittent amnesia, Gu Sanshen didn't believe this at all. Although he didn't torture Guo Luan, it still restricted his freedom.
Zhu Yunwen walked into the courtyard where Guo Luan was imprisoned. At this time, Miss Xiaohan was washing clothes, and Guo Luan stood in the courtyard looking at the sky.
Clear sky, blue clouds.
When Xiaohan heard the footsteps, he looked up and suddenly showed a look of surprise. He stood up quickly, wiped his wet hands on his apron twice, and shouted hurriedly: "Who are you? Why don't you let my uncle leave?" here?"
Gu Sanshen
His eyes turned cold, and his hand lowered the handle of the knife.
Zhu Yunwen shook his head slightly and signaled to Gu Sanshen that there was no need to do this. He walked towards Xiaohan and said, "Your uncle is not in good health. It is a good thing for him to stay here to recuperate. If he leaves here, there is no chance that he will be killed. You said Right, Guo Luan?"
After speaking, Zhu Yunwen looked at Guo Luan.
Guo Luan's eyes froze slightly, and he glanced across the roof. Two guards were holding crossbows and staring at him. This murderous intention was so strong.
After three trials, you will become a powerful warrior!
These two people actually appeared at the same time. Who was the young man they were guarding?
Guo Luan's pupils were stern, and his heart trembled. He quickly took two steps forward, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Guo Luan has seen..."
"That's all, get up and talk."
Zhu Yunwen interrupted Guo Luan, walked to the side of the stone table, sat down, and asked: "You want a guarantee before you can say your name. Now that I'm here, do you think the guarantee is enough?"
Xiao Han helped Guo Luan up and said to Zhu Yunwen in confusion: "Why do you speak so incomprehensibly? Why can't I understand it? What guarantee? What name?"
Guo Luan quickly pulled Xiaohan aside and warned in a low voice: "Don't say anything, don't ask anything."
It was the first time Xiao Han saw Guo Luan being so serious, so he nodded nervously in agreement.
Guo Luan moved his eyes away from Zhu Yunwen and looked at Gu Sanshen and Xiong Wucheng inquiringly. Seeing the two men nodding, he knew that his guess was correct. The person in front of him was indeed the Ming Emperor Zhu Yunwen!
He, who is ninety-five years old, actually came to see me in person!
"I have several conditions!"
Guo Luan's heart skipped a beat and he spoke with great courage.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Guo Luan calmly and said coldly: "You are not qualified to negotiate terms. With what you have done and the blood on your hands, you are enough to be punished ten times. I only promise one thing, after you leave here, They won’t give you any trouble.”
Seeing that Zhu Yunwen was so strong, Guo Luan remembered his own experience and gritted his teeth and said: "I also fought on the battlefield for the Ming Dynasty. My military merits are at least a thousand households, but in the end, I got nothing!"
Zhu Yunwen stared at Guo Luan.
According to the investigation of the Fifth Army Governor's Office, Guo Luan fought bravely in the fishing sea, and his ability to kill enemies was enough to serve as a governor, the lowest among thousands of households.
However, officers are very corrupt and often regard the military achievements of their subordinates as their own. Although many of those officers were turned into withered bones following the "Blue Jade Case", the military merits of Tan Yu do exist in fact.
Guo Luan tore open his clothes and exposed his chest, revealing a series of frightening scars: "I was covered in many injuries and escaped death, but in the end I had nothing! Glory, money, power, nothing! On the contrary, those An officer who hides in the rear and does not personally kill the enemy is enjoying everything! Do you think this is fair? Is this appropriate?"
Zhu Yunwen let out a long sigh and said: "It's unfair and inappropriate. It has become a fact. Why, do you want compensation?"
Guo Luan straightened her clothes, sneered, and said: "If you have a life, you may not have a life flower. I just want to say that injustice will bring anger, and I am not the only one who is angry!"
Zhu Yunwen frowned and said in a deep voice: "So, there are countless Guo Luan outside?"
Trouble, things may be more serious than you think.
In the Battle of Yuerhai, Lan Yu led 150,000 soldiers. Later, more than 30,000 soldiers left the military camp due to injury, illness, old age and other reasons. And among these sergeants who left and stayed, how many were dissatisfied with the imperial court? They were a group of people who could not be unified.
calculated numbers.
Coupled with the purge and implication of the Lan Yu case, and the number of "dissatisfied" sergeants with the imperial court, this is another matter that cannot be investigated.
The dissatisfaction of sergeants mostly exists in their hearts and rarely turns into action.
But some exceptions are not excluded, such as having no worries, being desperate, or being induced and organized...
Guo Luan looked gloomy and said: "I can name a name, but I not only need you to ensure that she and I leave here safely, but you also need to give me permission!"
"What permission?"
Zhu Yunwen looked at Guo Luan and asked.
Guo Luan gritted his teeth and said, "Allow me to join the Security Bureau until I find Guo Xu!"
"Oh, you actually want to join the Security Bureau?"
Zhu Yunwen was a little surprised.
Guo Luan shook his head and said: "I don't want to join the Security Bureau, but I need the identity of the Security Bureau to investigate Guo Xu's whereabouts! Without a suitable identity, it is simply impossible to investigate and find a person."
Zhu Yunwen glanced at Gu Sanshen and said, "Since you surrendered, then he should be under your control."
Gu Sanshen nodded in agreement and assured Guo Luan: "With your ability, you are enough to securely control the Fusi, but in view of your past, I will give you the position of Qianhu for the time being. Of course, you do not have the real power of Qianhu, and mobilizing manpower is only Limited to five people.”
Guo Luan didn't care whether he had thousands of households or not, he only needed a badge from the Security Bureau. With this badge, he could freely enter and leave the nursing home and some yamen.
"There is a force hidden in the capital. I don't know who is at the top of them. I only know that this is an extremely secretive force. They have always been very careful in communicating and transmitting instructions, and most of them are single-line contacts."
Guo Luanchen said, with a hint of fear in his eyes, and said: "I once lost to a person. He, like me, had the same grief, anger and hatred for the imperial court. Under his recommendation, I joined a group of people. A force to serve him."
Gu Sanshen and Xiong Wucheng looked at each other and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The two of them knew Guo Luan's strength, and the person who could defeat Guo Luan was by no means an ordinary person. Is there such an unknown expert in this capital?
Zhu Yunwen gently knocked on the stone table and asked: "Who is he? What is the name of this force?"
Guo Luan shook his head and said: "He only has one nickname, Jingzhe. As for his power, he doesn't seem to have a name."
"Any more?"
Zhu Yunwen waited.
Guo Luan was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I know where Jingzhe is hiding, and I also know where he lives!"
"explain!"
Zhu Yunwen stood up and said sternly.
Guo Luan took a deep breath and said: "Zhong Shan, Supervisor of the Shrine!"
"What?!"
Zhu Yunwen's expression changed.
Gu Sanshen and Xiong Wucheng were also horrified.
The Shrine Supervisor is one of the twelve supervisors in the inner palace. Although its name is majestic and domineering, it is actually an inconspicuous official office. It is responsible for sweeping, incense lamps and other matters such as Taizu Temple and Xiaoling Mausoleum.
To put it bluntly, he is a grave sweeper.
Some people from the Shrine Supervisor are stationed at Xiaoling all year round and protect Xiaoling together with the Xiaoling Guards. Except for some festivals and festivals, they receive little attention and can be said to exist "free" from supervision.
Zhu Yunwen clenched his fists. He came into this world because of an accident in Xiaoling. Now the problem has appeared in Xiaoling. It seems that Lao Zhu's heroic spirit cannot protect him...
