It has to be said that Duke Cao's government was quite good at amassing money. They confiscated 1.3 million yuan, more of which were rare and rare things. But now, most of the money has gone to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Xia Yuanji was happy. Now the navy only talked about money. Li Jian from the navy governor's office no longer sat in his office, but was transferred to the household department. Those who didn't know thought he was transferred to the household department.
With this 1.3 million guan as a base, the navy can support 560,000 guan.
Xia Yuanji didn't dare to ask how much was confiscated from Prince Jin's Mansion. After all, he was a member of the royal family, and some things were moved to the palace.
If a duke or a vassal king is destroyed, the impact will be huge.
Zhu Di, the Prince of Yan's palace, said something unknown, and asked for forgiveness to resign from his training position in the cavalry and artillery battalion, and asked to be sent to dig for oil in Western Xinjiang Province. Xu Huizu submitted a letter to resign from the post of the Governor of the Chinese Army and took matters into his own hands. He also resigned from his post as an official of Xu Yingxu, hoping that the emperor could be sent to Xiaoliuqiu Island to reclaim wasteland.
In addition to these two big shots, there are also a bunch of people asking for forgiveness, such as Mei Yin, Xu Kai, Zhu Gaosui, Liu Qixia, etc. It seems that they have met Li Fangying once, had a meal, and boasted once. Basically, they all wrote letters to apologize. .
The officials in the capital were panicking, but Emperor Jianwen suddenly stopped his efforts and did not expand the trend. He only issued an order, ordering Zhu Di to go to Peking to supervise the construction of a new capital.
The earth-shattering thing ended so simply.
Countless officials speculated that King Yan had lost the emperor's trust, and the so-called supervision of the construction of a new capital was just an excuse to send him out of the capital. After all, the construction of the new capital was very smooth. Yao Guangxiao and others had no problems supervising the construction there for several years, and there was no need for a vassal king to be in charge.
Xu Huizu continued to control the Central Military Governor's Mansion, but he acted more cautiously and did not see any visitors except for military affairs and policy matters.
Even though the situation seems to have calmed down, the Security Bureau has not calmed down.
The appearance of Li Liuzhi's Fuzi Order shows that the man in the curtain hat is in the capital, and may even be hiding in the Jin Palace.
Qining took a document and handed it to Liu Changge and Tang Buhe: "Goli has handed over an important piece of information, and the identity of the chess player is about to be revealed."
Liu Changge quickly took it and glanced at it with a solemn expression.
Tang Buping, Pang Huan, Huo Lin and others all fell silent after reading.
According to Ge Li's account, Li Fangying got a lot of information from the Buddha's mother, especially Sun Tianyou, and knew many secrets from ancient to modern times. Goli once asked the chess player’s identity and whether he would be caught by the Security Bureau. Li Fangying’s answer was:
"A fool from the Security Bureau deserves to catch the chess player? The entire Ming Dynasty was planned by the chess player's family. Without the chess player and his family, Zhu Yuanzhang would have been killed by Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng! The chess player bears a blood feud. It will never be hidden forever, just wait.”
Pang Huan said solemnly: "Such a matter should be reported to the emperor immediately."
Liu Changge clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "It's really a wave of trouble that keeps rising again and again!"
Tang Buping said in a deep voice: "We have been caught in ancient and modern times, and one chess player can no longer make a difference. Even if he has thousands of strategies, he can only be alone and unable to affect the overall situation."
Huo Lin shook his head: "Don't underestimate chess players. Once the power of strategy meets an ambitious person, trouble can arise in an instant. Now that you have a direction, you should report it immediately and ask for an order to arrest him."
"Enter the palace."
Liu Changge took the documents and asked to see him.
Zhu Yunwen was checking the map of North Korea and analyzing the Korean war. When he saw Liu Changge coming, he asked, "Any other clues?"
Liu Changge said solemnly: "There is news about the chess players."
"oh."
Zhu Yunwen was a little surprised. He took the document and looked at it. He couldn't help frowning: "The Ming Dynasty was all planned by chess players? So, the true identity of the chess players was the advisers during the founding period. But those people are no longer there, right? ?」
Liu Changge looked solemn: "Your Majesty, Li Fangying took over the White Lotus Order and ordered the White Lotus people and Yin soldiers, and these people initially obeyed the orders of the Buddha Mother."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Liu Changge and nodded slowly: "Looking at it this way, Li Fangying is the second generation of Buddha's mother. This chess player's
Identity: second generation or third generation? These people are really persistent. Decades later, they are still plotting something in the dark. "
Liu Changge hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, Li Fangying said that the Ming Dynasty was all planned by chess players, which is obviously an exaggeration. Taizu fought wildly with the world's heroes and was invincible, and finally became the world leader. It was Taizu's proper command and strategizing. A group of famous founding generals and thousands of soldiers fought in a bloody battle!"
Zhu Yunwen threw down the document, stood up and walked out: "Taizu conquered the world with one person's merit, one person's plan, and one person's courage. Li Fangying admires chess players so much, and there are only so many of them. Does the Security Bureau have any guesses? ?」
Liu Changge said solemnly: "The current guess is that it may be among the four gentlemen from East Zhejiang."
Zhu Yunwen put his hands behind his back.
The Four Gentlemen of East Zhejiang refer to Qingtian Liu Ji, Longquan Zhangyi, Lishui Yechen, and Pu** Lian.
Liu Ji is Liu Bowen, and his descendants have reason to hate Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, Hu Weiyong poisoned Lao Liu. Lao Liu even discussed the matter with Lao Zhu, saying that after taking the medicine, he felt like there was a stone in his stomach. Lao Zhu did not arrange for anyone to operate on Liu Bowen to break up the stones, but just let him go home indifferently. He died not long after. Also, Lao Hu killed Liu Lian, which was also a blood feud.
Although Zhang Yi was a Confucian official, his father and son worked for one side, and all the bandits were pacified, so the credit was not inferior to that of the other generals. This is Lao Zhu's affirmation, but the Zhang family has no reason to oppose Zhu. He died a good death.
Ye Chen had no reason to rebel against Zhu. He was killed by the Yuan generals who rebelled. After the founding of the country, Lao Zhu even granted the title of Marquis of Nanyang County and was enshrined in the Temple of Meritorious Officers. His family really had no reason to fight against the imperial court.
Song Lian, the guy who wrote the slogan "Drive out the barbarians and restore China" is a powerful person, but he is not a counselor in the true sense. What's more, his son and grandson all died unnaturally, and he has no strength to oppose.
In this way, among the four gentlemen in eastern Zhejiang, only Liu Bowen's eldest grandson Liu Lao is still alive. However, this person has always been under the surveillance of the Security Bureau. He is either reading or writing books. There is really nothing extraordinary. Even the visitors who come to the door all year round. Not many people said that he was a chess player, but Zhu Yunwen didn't believe it.
Zhu Yunwen thought about it, shook his head and said, "There should be others. The most famous counselors in the early Ming Dynasty were not only Liu Ji and others, but also Ye Dui and Zhu Sheng! These two were the most powerful chess players at that time. Hands, even in a sense, surpass Liu Ji!"
Liu Changge took a deep breath, how could he forget these two people!
Yes, they are truly extraordinary chess players.
Ye Dui once presented "One Outline of Military Affairs and Three Strategies of Military Affairs" to Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu State. He gave the strategic judgment that "China's fortunes are reviving and Hu's fortunes are over" and he proposed the "Longzhong Pair":
In the south, Zhang Shicheng's tyranny was conquered, and in the east, Fang Guozhen, the governor of the east, surrendered. He made Jiankang the capital and expanded the Yangtze River and Guangdong for self-financing. To advance is to cross the two Huaihe Rivers, to control the Central Plains and conquer the world; to retreat is to preserve one's own aspects and defend oneself...
Zhu Yuanzhang later conquered the world and conquered cities and territories. Many of the processes were highly consistent with what Ye Dui said. This person can be said to be Kong Ming in the early Ming Dynasty, who laid the foundation for Zhu Yuanzhang's strategic layout.
However, Ye Dui retired after his achievements and did not stay as an official in the court. Instead, he became Mr. Simei happily. He was also a man who died well. He knew how to advance and retreat and had no reason to hate the court.
Then there is only one person left:
Zhu Sheng!
Zhu Yunwen's heart was very heavy. If Liu Bowen was plotting and Ye Dui was plotting, then Zhu Sheng was terrifying. He was plotting the world.
What really gave Zhu Yuanzhang the capital to conquer the world were nine words:
Build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly.
And the person who came up with these nine words was Zhu Sheng!
In the chaotic world situation, this man helped Zhu Yuanzhang become king and emperor with nine words!
Zhu Sheng's identity is extremely extraordinary. He is also the fifth-generation disciple of Zhu Xi. He is not only a great scholar, but also has the strategy of "empowering kings and tyrants at the same time", ruling the world with "hegemony" and ruling the world with "kingly ways"!
Zhu Yunwen clenched his fist. Although Zhu Sheng had no grudge against the court and could be regarded as having a good death, Zhu Sheng's son Zhu Tong was killed because of the Lan Yu case!
"Check, check if Zhu Tong has any descendants or relatives!"
Zhu Yunwen's face was very ugly.
Liu Changge was horrified and quickly bowed and retreated.
If he is really a descendant of Zhu Sheng, then things will be troublesome. This chess player may have unusual methods! Not long after, Pang Huan personally led the people and galloped out of the capital, heading straight for Xiuning County.
The arrest of Yang Wushan and the fall of the White Lotus Order into the hands of the imperial court completely exposed the central power of the White Lotus Sect. Hundreds of White Lotus cultists and more than 200 Yin soldiers lurking in the capital were wiped out.
Liu Changge sat in his chair and breathed a long sigh of relief. After eleven years of open and covert fighting, Gu Jin, Yin Bing, and the White Lotus Sect were finally completely wiped out.
Although the identities and traces of Ding San and the chess players are unknown, Yang Wushan has been arrested, Gujin has been arrested, and the matter has come to an end.
From Dingyuan to Kaifeng, from Qingzhou City to Fengyang City, from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
A long struggle.
Bai Yiyi sat in the room, taking care of the injured Xiaoman. Xiaoman's eyes were wrapped with black cloth, and Goli's big hand pinched them out.
"Sister Bai, is it over?"
"It's over, Gu Jin was caught."
"Who is ancient and modern?"
"Jin Wang Zhu Jixi."
"It's him?"
"According to Li Fangying's confession, it was him."
Xiaoman raised his hand and fumbled.
Bai Yiyi quickly grabbed it and advised softly: "You need to rest."
Xiao Man sat up with all his strength and begged, "Tell Chu Yun that I have done what I promised her. I hope she will keep her promise and let me return to Suzhou and never get involved in the Yin soldiers again."
Bai Yiyi nodded slightly, looked at Xiao Man and said, "The Security Bureau will let you leave as agreed. However, Ding San and the chess players have not yet been arrested, and the Yin Bing incident is not completely over. If you leave the capital and are alone..."
"I have no use value anymore, so what if Ding San and the chess player send someone to find me."
"They will not let any betrayer go."
Xiaoman was silent.
"Stay in the capital." Gu Yun opened the door and stepped in: "Until the dust settles, no one can achieve true stability. Stay in the capital until the Yin soldiers are completely destroyed. Wherever you want to go, Can."
