He left Jinling in October last year to go to the capital to escort the tribute silver, and now it has been half a year since he returned. Within half a year, thinking about the situation of half a year, I was a little embarrassed.

After Zhu Wuneng's restoration, the most widely affected were the capital and Jinling City. After the old emperor ascended the throne, Zhu Runze's forces were purged and blood-exchanged. As the saying goes, once a son of heaven and a courtier, the change of emperors in successive dynasties will be accompanied by a series of power changes.

During this period of time, the situation in the court has also changed considerably.

The first to bear the brunt is the fall of the Xie family.

Since Zhu Runze came to Jinling City last year and invited Xie Shiting to go out of the mountain to serve as the head of the household, in less than half a year, the Xie family has rapidly risen to become the leading family in Jinling City, leaving the Wang family far behind. However, Zhu Runze fell, Xie Shiting committed suicide to apologize, although Zhu Wuneng did not liquidate the Xie family, everyone knew that the Xie family would not be able to get up after falling this time.

The trees fell and scattered, and the walls fell and everyone pushed them.

Its rise is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden.

From the door to the door, it only took a year.

Originally, the power in Jinling City that was originally dependent on the Xie family changed their doors one after another, and took refuge in another family in the city, the Wang family.

There was also news from the capital, and the news came from the imperial court that the case was overturned for the former head of the household department, Shen Zhengdao. Zhu Wuneng is sympathetic to Shen Zhengdao's loyalty and bravery, loyal to the country, and posthumously awarded as a loyal and brave marquis.

Shen Zhengdao's youngest son, Shen Yantong, was less than five years old at the time of the empty seal case, and was assigned to Ningguta and escaped. It's just that Shen Qianling, who was sold into the palace by the official back then, will never be seen.

The third change is the change in Jinling officialdom. After moving the capital to Shuntianfu that year, Yingtianfu was the accompanying capital, retaining the functions of the six ministries, and the rank was also the same as that of the capital. After Zhu Wuneng came to power, in order to control the situation, the officials in the court were greatly adjusted, and thanks to this, several officials in the small six ministries became vacant and transferred to the capital. Even if it is a transfer at the same level, one is the Qingshui Yamen, and the other is the real power department, and the status is not the same. In Jinling City, a number of emerging family forces have emerged.

The imperial power has changed, the temples are turbulent, and the rivers and lakes are also surging.

Wudang, Shaolin and other two major factions have always maintained a neutral position, and I don't know if they have been pressured from the capital and have begun to speak out. The two major sects jointly published a signed article in "Xiaosheng Jianghu", congratulating Zhu Wuneng on regaining the treasure, and saying that they would always be loyal to the unwavering sect purpose of the imperial court for 300 years. At the same time, the two factions take maintaining the order and stability of the rivers and lakes and building a harmonious rivers and lakes as their own responsibility, and carry out the bull's ears for the world's martial arts to ensure the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

But in fact, this is not the case, unlike the major mainstream sects that are shrinking turtles, after the Heroes League helped Zhu Wuneng ascend the throne, his position in the rivers and lakes became more and more prominent, and he moved from behind the scenes to the foreground, and began to use the power of the imperial court to set off a pattern of unification of the rivers and lakes.

Jiangnan Martial Arts Alliance, Lingnan Martial Arts, Northwest Iron Blood Banner, Kwantung Blood Owl Hall, Shuzhong Southwest Martial Arts Alliance and other secondary power organizations have risen up one after another, responding to the leadership of the Hero League, and began to respect the Hero League as the leader. At the same time, they have also moved their business within their sphere of influence closer to the Hero Alliance, and the power of this Hero League is expanding day by day.

The Hero League is growing stronger and stronger, but the identity of the leader of the Hero League is still a mystery, they rely on the leadership of the Hero League, but they have never seen the leader of the Hero League appear in public.

I also discussed it with Zhang Youqian, and even thought that the controller behind this Hero League was Zhu Wuneng. However, this conclusion was quickly refuted. The League of Heroes is the spokesperson of the underworld in the world, although they ostensibly establish the unification of the Central Plains martial arts, but in fact they are anti-Qin Sanguan and prepare for the underworld to enter the Central Plains.

Zhu Wuneng regained the throne with the help of them, but he lured the wolf into the house and plunged the Central Plains martial arts into fire and water, which he didn't know, but he had to do so. From the fact that after he came to power, he forced Shaolin Wudang and other major orthodox sects to speak out, it can be seen that he also began to guard against the Hero League.

The south gate of Jinling City.

Last year, the people of Songjiang Prefecture besieged Jinling City, and even had several civil uprisings, a number of people were instigated, and there was an accident that stormed the Jinling City Gate, and although it was subsided, the Jinling City Gate was made to a tattered state.

Later, the imperial court allocated funds to rebuild the Jinling City Gate, and after more than a year of repair, the Jinling City Gate took on a new look.

Zhang Youqian and I were mixed in the middle of the journey, waiting in line to enter the city. We were six doors and could have entered the city through convenient procedures, but after discussion, we decided to enter the city quietly first to understand the situation in the city.

When it was our turn, we only handed over the road guide, not the official guide, thinking that we could enter the city in a fool's way, but soon we were invited to the side room of the city gate to drink tea.

For some time last year, our relationship with the Jinling garrison was very stiff. Especially the garrison general Bai Youcai, who used to make a lot of trouble, but this kind of person, if he can't be provoked, he hides, but he doesn't have much to do with him. Did they recognize us and want to take revenge?

Someone went to ventilate the news, and the garrison captain of the city gate drank tea in the side room. This person is the one who was detained and blackmailed by them when Xu Ruonan and I left Jinling that day.

The captain said, you are a big man from the capital, and the garrison instructs that if you want to see Su Ye and Zhang Ye enter the city, you must report it as soon as possible, so please drink tea here. We don't have good tea here, so please don't dislike it.

Tea is a bird's tongue, brewed with boiling water in an amber cup, floating in the cup, from the outside, the tea leaves stand upside down like a needle, like a bird's tongue, so it has this name.

Zhang Youqian took a sip of tea and said, this is the authentic Jintan Mingqian Tongue, the entire Nanzhili only produces 180 catties a year, and the captain is really a good mouthful!

The captain said that if Master Zhang likes it, I will send you two catties to try it tomorrow.

Zhang Youqian waved his hand, I can't afford to drink such expensive tea!

The lieutenant said, Master Zhang, don't count me down, for example, who doesn't know that you are the son of the richest man in the capital today, and you are about to ...... The captain knew that he was talkative, so he hurriedly changed his words, and he would have to rely on Zhang Ye to take care of him in Jinling City in the future!

I sighed in my heart, this superb golden altar tongue, a pound of dozens of taels of silver, even a businessman who does business, is reluctant to buy and drink. However, a city gate captain who guards the gate in Jinling City, only one or two taels of silver in January, can drink such expensive tea.

The seemingly inconspicuous position of the city gate official, each person entering the city has to pay taxes, as little as ten cents, as much as a few taels of silver, how much is handed over to the state treasury, and how much is embezzled and privately occupied?

I heard Lao Sun Tou say that these city gate officials also do some "road" business, some Jiangyang thieves, committed crimes in the city, chased all over the city, and when they escaped the limelight, they could find the city gate officials through the middleman, pay a lot of money to buy the road, and thus escape. It's true that cats have cat paths, and rats have rat paths!

I said, this general, do you remember me?

The lieutenant hurriedly bowed down, and said lightly, how dare he have a relationship with an adult?

I smiled, I heard that during the Japanese rebellion last year, there were Japanese robbers who infiltrated Jinling City, and you once took the money from that person to buy the road and help the other party escape?

The lieutenant's face changed dramatically in fright, my lord, I was wronged!

I said, that ronin leader seems to be called Wang Heng, and after escaping at that time, he also sealed you an official, called Lang's goods, and your name has entered the name of the Wakou, and you still say that you are wronged?

The lieutenant seemed to remember something, his knees were sore, he fell to his knees with a flutter, a handful of snot and tears, and began to cry.

Adult, the little one is really wronged, that widow, put the knife on my neck, forced me to collect money, and forcibly gave me a title, where do I dare to ask for it. The small ones are old, the ones are small, and there are three aunts, you can call the shots for me!

(There is a party in the evening, a chapter in advance, if you don't get drunk, you have to change it)
