Mingyue and Ji Gang are in charge of the intelligence of the Northeast, and the vassal king is naturally the object of their secret supervision...... However, because of Xu Miaoyi's relationship, the two opened one eye and closed one eye, and there was very little information that was unfavorable to the Yanwang Mansion to the capital. The admiration of the people of Yandi for King Yan, adding a little oil and vinegar is to buy people's hearts and plot against them.

Mingyue and Ji Gang were familiar with Jinyi Wei's routine of weaving crimes, and the two carefully avoided all possible pitfalls, making the emperor trust the Yan Wangfu and leaving the East Palace with nothing to do.

Mao Xiang closed his eyes and listened to Mingyue's evaluation of King Yan, just when Mingyue and the two thought he was asleep, Mao Xiang opened his eyes suddenly, "What benefits did King Yan's Mansion give you?" ”

Mingyue knelt down and said: "The words marked are true, if there is concealment, the mark is willing to die to atone for the crime!" However, it would be an exaggeration to say that Yandi only knew that there was a king of Yan, but did not know that there was an emperor. The world is so big, it is not the king's land, they all use the name of Hongwu to pay taxes to the court, what about the people of Yandi

I may not know the emperor. ”

Mao Xiang didn't look at her, his eyes fell on Ji Gang, "The people are like this, what about the army?" ”

Ji Gang trembled and said, "King Yan...... Yan Wangjun is strict in discipline, if he has to say that there are any shortcomings, it is that he adheres to principles too much and does not know how to be flexible. In the twenty-second year of Hongwu, Liu Tong, the Sigu of the Beiping Army, was greedy for the salary of the Mo army, and the King of Yan actually ordered Liu Tong to hold a knife and face the thirty soldiers who were detained, and saw Liu Tong being cut into □□ on the spot! ”

King Yan's face did not change, and he also said that if anyone dared to be greedy for the food and salary of the soldiers, it would be Liu Tong's fate. My lord, the state has national law, the family has family law, and the army has military law. King Yan is too harsh.

Ji Gang is clearly depreciating and secretly praised, Mao Xiang can actually hear it, but Yan Wang is strict with others, and the same is true for himself, every time there is a war, he must take the lead, if there is a reward, most of them are distributed to the soldiers, and he never hides his selfishness.

It's just that the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty. The better King Yan is, the more uneasy the East Palace becomes!

Mao Xiang has already seen through the world, and he sees all the calculations in the East Palace, but Emperor Hongwu is bent on favoring the East Palace, and Mao Xiang must also follow his blindness and pretend not to know. Lan Yu is going to die, so many generals of the Ming Dynasty will also die on the guillotine, as for King Yan - if it weren't for the only father-son relationship, he would have been removed by the East Palace on the charge of rebellion.

Leave King Yan behind, otherwise the good people will die.

Mao Xiao made a decision in his heart, turned out Lan Yu's file on the evaluation of Yan Wang and Yan Di, and threw it into the brazier and burned it in front of Mingyue and Ji Gang!

Mingyue and Ji Gang were both stunned.

Mao Xiao said: "If you two want to live, you must keep in mind that the responsibility of Jinyiwei is to act according to the emperor's wishes. It's not to find out the truth, what you present to the emperor must be what the emperor wants to see. What the emperor doesn't want to see - for example, this dossier that implies that King Yan has ill intentions and wants to compete with the imperial nephew for the throne, which may cause the royal family to kill each other, you have to destroy it, as if you don't know. ”

What is Master Mao talking about? Mingyue and Ji Gang were stunned.

Mao Xiang continued: "Because once it is rashly presented, the emperor does not say anything on the surface, and his heart is unpleasant, and gradually you lose your royal heart, no longer be reused, and are squeezed out of the Jinyi Guard. ”

Mao Xiang stepped down from his seat, stood between Mingyue and Ji Gang, patted them on the shoulder one by one, and said, "Because you are swords and swords." Those who could not resent the man who wielded the sword turned all their anger on the sword itself. The only value of the sword is to get the trust and reuse of the knife holder, once it is abandoned, it is the end of the sword, so the sword has no way back, only to fight all the way to the end of the sword. ”

Mingyue and Ji Gang's whole body stiffened: Mao Xiang said that the person with the knife is the emperor! Don't......

Mao Xiang didn't wait for the two of them to react, so he entered the palace with the heavy blue jade case file to meet the emperor.

Mao Xiang walked away, even the sound of the carriage disappeared, Mingyue looked around at no one, and said in a low voice: "Ji Gang, what Lord Mao means, it seems that after the Lanyu case, the emperor will push Lord Mao out to bear the guilt in order to calm the anger of the court." ”

Ji Gang just woke up from the shock, shook his head again and again and said, "Are we thinking too much?" Lord Mao is the emperor's righteous son, he has been loyal for so many years, how can the emperor be willing-"

"Is Lan Yuzhong faithful? Chang Shengzhong or not? And the veteran Song Guogong Feng Shengzhong, who is about to be raided, is disloyal? Mingyue interrupted Ji Gang's words with a serious expression, "It is impossible for Lord Mao to say these heart-to-heart words to us for no reason, it must be that he smelled something wrong, so he said such words like his last words." ”

Mao Xiang held the two of them with one hand, and they have always taken care of them, and the two of them also admired and relied on Mao Xiang very much, and it was not a simple relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Ji Gang slapped his head, "Yes, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, and the feelings between the Son of Heaven and us mortals are different. How did King Qin die? How did King Jin die? and Princess Yan was driven out of the capital three days after giving birth, and braved the wind and snow to go north to take up the domain, and the son born by the princess is also the emperor's own grandson, and the same is true for her own grandson, Master Mao is just a righteous son, not to mention it. ”

Mingyue pondered, "No, we can't watch Lord Mao sit still, we have to think of ways to save him." ”

Ji Gang asked, "How to save it?" You and I are Jinyiwei's people, once something happens to Lord Mao, Jinyiwei will definitely suffer, although I don't have much knowledge, but I also know that there is a reason to have eggs under the nest, what can we do? ”

Mingyue said: "Now it's the turn of the Yan Wangfu to return our favors......"

Ji Gang hesitated and said: "Yan Wangfu is far away in Beiping, and the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, will he really help us save Lord Mao?" ”

Yanwangfu can't do it, but the Ming Church! It's just that it's inconvenient to talk to Ji Gang about the relationship between Princess Yan and Xu Miaoyi and Mingjiao. So Mingyue said firmly: "Princess Yan can." ”

It is said that Mao Xiang presented the file of Lan Yu's confession to Emperor Hongwu. As he told Mingyue and Ji Gang, all the dossiers were what Emperor Hongwu was willing to see.

Emperor Hongwu glanced at it and said: "Give these to the cabinet, and ask them to write a "Record of Rebel Ministers" according to the confessions in the dossier, and all the henchmen of Lan Yu's rebellion will be copied in the book and announced to the world. ”

Emperor Hongwu was accustomed to writing everything on paper, such as dealing with the stubbornness of his sons, he created the "Imperial Records of Feilu", and now eradicated the "Blue Jade Party", and wrote a "Record of Imperial Rebels".

Mao Xiang responded: "Yes." ”

After struggling all the way in his heart, Mao Xiang still picked up a few words of Lan Yu's words and told Emperor Hongwu, "Your Majesty, Lan Yu pleaded with other generals, saying that military generals are the cornerstone of guarding the Ming Dynasty, if the cornerstone is broken, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will be in crisis, and I hope the emperor will think twice." ”

Emperor Hongwu said coldly: "My country, it is not his turn to worry about a rebellious person. There are my sons guarding the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, and the country will be forever! How? Do you sympathize with Lan Yu and think I'm wrong? ”

For the safety of the border passes, Emperor Hongwu pinned his hopes on his sons, not the generals.

Mao Xiang has served the monarch for many years, and he knew that Emperor Hongwu was angry, so he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Weichen doesn't dare!" ”

Emperor Hongwu said angrily: "Although you don't dare, you also sympathize with the Blue Party in your heart, right?" I heard that you treated these criminals with courtesy in the edict and did not torture them? ”

Mao Xiao lowered his head and said, "Lan Yu has confessed, there is no need to torture him." What's more, they have a merit to the Ming after all—"

"What about Li Shanchang?" Emperor Hongwu interrupted: "You can cut off Li Shanchang's tongue, why do you show mercy to Lan Yu's subordinates?" ”

Mao Xiang's heart sank: The emperor is suspicious of me! At this time, the argument undoubtedly adds fuel to the fire!

Mao Xiao said: "Weichen knows that he is wrong! ”

Emperor Hongwu said coldly: "It's good to know your mistakes." Remember your duty and show no mercy to anyone. I sentenced the blue jade to skin it as an example. You personally execute, peel off the blue jade human skin, and send it to the Shu Palace! ”

Even though Mao Xiang was used to seeing blood, he was shocked at this time: Princess Lan of Shu was Lan Yu's own daughter, and when she saw her father's human skin, wouldn't Princess Shu be scared to death......

The Lan Yu rebellion broke out, killing more than 20,000 people, and the capital was in a bloody storm.

Princess Shu fainted on the spot.

The executioners are killing people every day, and the blood in the execution ground has never been dried, and even the air in the capital smells of blood.

On the outskirts of the capital, in the Taoist temple where Changjin practiced, a distinguished guest was welcomed.

Zhu Yunwen, the grandson of the emperor, took a flat boat and stepped on a painting boat in the middle of the pond. In the painting boat, a thin and beautiful woman was looking at the remnants of the pond in a daze.

Zhu Yunwen breathlessed, slowly approached Chang Jin, and said, "You are finally willing to see me." ”

It's been sixteen years.

Chang Jin's hand holding the railing tightened, and the brown paint on the railing peeled off and was deeply embedded in his nails.

She took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and turned away.

The eyes are facing each other.

Zhu Yunwen looked at Chang Jin stupidly, "You...... It's still the same as before. ”

Chang Jin lowered his head, avoided Zhu Yunwen's fiery gaze, looked at his skirt, and said, "Please...... No, I beg you to save my second brother Chang Sheng, who was involved in the Lan Yu rebellion. But he is innocent, please save him. ”

Zhu Yunwen's gaze immediately fell from boiling to cold, "You are looking for me for this?" ”

Chang Jin said: "Yes, my second brother was wronged. Since the death of the Queen Mother, no one can persuade him to change his mind, but you can ...... You can take the position of the emperor's grandson from Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yunxi left Beijing at the age of thirteen to become a vassal, what else can't you do? ”

"Only you can save my second brother. As long as you save his life, it doesn't matter what the title is, as long as he lives, I'm willing to pay whatever it takes. ”

All the expected expectations and expectations were shattered by the cold deal.

Zhu Yunwen seemed to hear the voice of his heartbreak, and he heard his other self say coldly: "In that case, you should understand what I want." ”

Chang Jin was silent, then raised his head, looked directly into Zhu Yunwen's gaze, and slowly untied his belt.

Zhu Yunwen cried in his heart: Don't! Don't do that to yourself! As long as you say you love me! Willing to accompany me! I can give everything for you too!

But he saw another self approaching Chang Hibiscus, kissed her on the lips, tore off the wide robe with his right hand, and threw it away, and the robe fluttered in the autumn wind, covering the half-withered remnants. 166 Reading Network
