152 Woe to the East

Since the establishment of Jinyiwei, there are almost no cases unsolved, but as long as the cases related to Xu Miaoyi, whether it is the real cause of death of Luan Feng and his wife, or the Taihu arson case, or the murder and fire case of the restaurant, the masterminds behind the scenes have all wiped the clues cleanly, and Mao Xiang has almost nothing.

With intuition, Mao Xiang felt that Xu Miaoyi was innocent in the assassination of Lord Nian, but the human and material evidence were all there, which was very unfavorable to Xu Miaoyi, especially when Lord Nian's family went to Yingtianfu Yamen to beat the drum and voice grievances, suing the son of the Xu family, the Duke of Wei, for being unscrupulous and killing the members of the Erpin Imperial Court, and the entire Jinling City was immediately rumored.

How to deal with Xu Miaoyi, only Emperor Hongwu can decide.

Jinling City, Baicaotang.

Song Xiu'er came with the smell of rouge powder, and the goose feathers on her shoulders and heavy snow had not yet melted, "Zhu Wulang! Why are you still in the pharmacy? Come into the palace and plead for Miaoyi! ”

Zhou Wang Zhu Hu had a medicinal fragrance on his body, and invited Song Xiu'er to the room to speak, "The fourth brother said that this matter is quite strange, if you rashly intercede with Miaoyi, I am afraid it will backfire." ”

Song Xiu'er hurriedly said: "Oh, I know every word of what you people say, but I don't understand it when I put it together, can I save Miaoyi without pleading?" Did I hear me right? ”

Zhu Hu said: "I don't understand, anyway, from childhood to adulthood, listening to the fourth brother is right, the fourth brother said don't move, I won't move, the fourth brother said that I want to charge into battle, I will rest assured to rush in." Xiu'er is not in a hurry, the fourth brother said that Miaoyi is okay for the time being, and she must be fine. ”

Song Xiu'er is a simple woman, caring is chaotic, and she is so anxious that she stomps her feet, "You know that the fourth brother is long and the fourth brother is short, you yourself won't think about what to do for Miaoyi, she is half of your master, and you are ruthless!" ”

Song Xiu'er has a knife mouth, sarcastically and mercilessly. Zhu Hu didn't have much of a prince's stand, and when he was pointed at and scolded for being ruthless, he didn't refute it, but said again and again: "The fourth brother said don't act rashly, let's not move around, so as not to help." Don't worry, as long as the fourth brother speaks, I will kneel down and break through the Fengxian Palace, and I will save Miaoyi. ”

Song Xiu'er stood up and was anxious in the room, "What should I do, I saw that the Nian family set up a mourning hall in the Yamen of Yingtianfu on a snowy day, saying that Miaoyi killed his master, and he wanted to pay for his life." There was a lot of rumors on the street, saying that the emperor had always been jealous and hateful, and would never shield the murderer, and would □□ Miaoyi on the spot. Zhu Wulang, are you going to the palace to ask for mercy? ”

Zhu Hu said: "The fourth brother said, to intercede at this time is equivalent to confirming Miaoyi's murder charge, and the mastermind behind the scenes is looking forward to us pleading, what we have to do is not to plead, but to clear up the grievances and give her innocence." Don't panic, the fourth brother has already entered the palace to see his father with some evidence......"

Imperial City, Fengxian Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his son expressionlessly, "You want to intercede for Xu Miaoyi?" ”

Zhu Di said: "Xu Miaoyi is guilty and innocent, she has her own Jinyi Wei to find out the truth, and her son, as a prince, is inconvenient to interfere in the criminal case." Xu Miaoyi was convicted if she was guilty, and murder paid for her life, which was justified; If he is found innocent, he should be released on the spot to show his loyalty. ”

Zhu Di's impassivity is deeply rooted in his father's true biography, at this moment, both father and son are paralyzed, and neither of them can see through each other's expressions. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know that Zhu Di and Miaoyi were in love, but he only knew that Xu Miaoyi had done things for her son as a female doctor and made a lot of contributions, and Zhu Di entered the palace to be a lobbyist for her.

Who knew that Zhu Di denied it, but there was a momentum of putting aside Xu Miaoyi's always troublesome burden, Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled, and asked tentatively: "Oh, according to you, is Xu Miaoyi guilty or innocent?" ”

Zhu Di said: "Although Xu Miaoyi was born in a famous family, she has been in the people for ten years, and she has been contaminated with some righteousness and gangsterism. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang felt even more strange, his son was going to put Xu Miaoyi to death?

Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "Do you think Xu Miaoyi is guilty?" ”

The more Zhu Di encounters major events, the calmer he becomes, and he rarely quarrels and debates with others. He knew his father's temper well - suspicious, cold.

So if you want your father to accept your own point of view, you must first understand your father's position and opinions. But did the father listen to the words of the imperial history? No way.

So Zhu Di probed his father's details and said: "My son thinks that Xu Miaoyi is very likely to kill people in anger, what does my father think?" ”

The son did not plead as expected, or argued with some doubts and argued with himself, Zhu Yuanzhang relaxed and said: "Your analysis is very correct, I also think that Xu Miaoyi may be angry and murderous, this girl's temper is too short-tempered, there is no trace of the gentleness and grace of everyone's ladies, I have already handed over Xie Zaixing's case to Jinyiwei, she just wants to intervene sideways, isn't this a big deal?" I heard that she and her brother had a trick, and the tricks were ruthless and ruthless, but fortunately, Xu Zengshou was a clever person, otherwise he would have been seriously injured under her sword. ”

Zhu Di nodded yes and said: "Xu Miaoyi is not only skilled, but also proficient in medical skills, smart and changeable, and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats. Most of the people who have the ability to act in a high-profile manner, have no one in their eyes, and do not take into account the opinions of others. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily, Xu Miaoyi's father Xu Da of Wei is a stable person, he is the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and has made countless contributions, but he has never been arrogant, the top ten heroes of the founding of the country, he acts the most modest and calm." Alas, I just gave birth to such a disobedient daughter, which is really a good bamboo shoot. ”

Zhu Di was unhappy when his sweetheart was demoted to "bad bamboo shoots", but his face was still calm, and he said: "Erchen also feels strange, Xu Miaoyi's personality and temper are not like his father Xu Da, but similar to the temper of Kaiping King Chang Yuchun. ”

When it comes to Chang Yuchun, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes obviously have a trace of unbearable melancholy, Chang Yuchun is a famous killer, he will slaughter the city at every turn, his reputation is not good among the people and officialdom, far inferior to Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, but all of this cannot shake the weight of Chang Yuchun in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, and he will always be his favorite general.

Zhu Yuanzhang wrote a memorial to Chang Yuchun, saying, "When the general is there, I rely on it; The general has been in the past, who will he conspire with? "After the fall of the stars of Chang Yuchun, the death of no general or Wenchen can make him express his deep affection.

Zhu Di compared Chang Yuchun and Xu Miaoyi, Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the two of them are really a bit similar in their skills, temper, recklessness, bravery, and stubbornness. Chang Yuchun died of a random arrow at the most glorious time, and Xu Miaoyi fell into a murder case when she was a little restrained, and even the ups and downs of life are similar.

Bringing these two together, Zhu Yuanzhang was much less unhappy with Xu Miaoyi. Zhu Di observed his father's expression and knew that the opportunity had come, he

Present the file in your hand.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened it and looked at it, blowing his beard angrily and glaring, "What are you doing with Xie Zaixing's file?" ”

Zhu Di said unhurriedly: "After Erchen learned about Xu Miaoyi's murder of Lord Nian, the first thing that came to his mind was that Xu Miaoyi killed people in anger, after all, her fiery temper was known to everyone in Jinling City. If Xu Miaoyi is really guilty, I believe that Wei Guogong understands the righteousness and determines the righteousness of the daughter. It's just that Erchen thinks that Xu Miaoyi is the hero's beloved daughter after all, as long as there is a little doubt in this case that has not been clarified, he can't be hastily convicted, otherwise it won't chill the hero's heart? ”

The source of this case is still the Xie Zaixing case, the young man scolded Xie Zaixing as a traitor, Xu Miaoyi felt that her grandfather was innocent, and the two had a dispute and killed people in anger. Erchen found out the file of that year, compared it repeatedly, and found that the rebellion case ten years ago was very similar to yesterday's murder case, both of which were full of human and material evidence, and the parties could not defend themselves, and they were all dead without evidence, this method was too skillful, and Erchen thought of the second possibility, that is, the person behind the two cases may be the same person. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a cold face, "The same person?" Do you think Xie Zaixing and Xu Miaoyi's ancestors are innocent? ”

Zhu Di immediately said: "The evidence is ironclad, Xie Zaixing is guilty, this is a fact that cannot be changed." But after Xu Miaoyi's appearance, the old case was reopened, and too many strange things happened, and Xu Miaoyi was killed to prevent her from overturning the case. Erchen was worried that there were ministers of the DPRK and Xie Zaixing conspiring to do it, and after the incident, all the matter was pushed to Xie Zaixing's head, destroying all traces, thinking that the accomplice was still at large, and he was still an official in the court, Erchen couldn't help but worry about the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Di guessed his father's secret mind this time, Zhu Yuanzhang has always been disgusted with Xu Miaoyi's meddling in Xie Zaixing's case, and the root cause is because he is convinced of Xie Zaixing's rebellion, and even Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong refused to persuade him to surrender.

Zhu Yuanzhang hated the people who betrayed him, and Xie Zaixing's case exposed all kinds of doubts ten years later, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think that Xie Zaixing was innocent, but that Xie Zaixing conspired against him and had a party, and this party may be one of his founding fathers, and the formation of Jinyiwei was to monitor these people.

Zhu Di understands that blindly pleading with Xu Miaoyi is counterproductive, it may anger his father and severely punish Miaoyi, for the sake of the face of Wei Guogong, Xu Miaoyi's death penalty can be avoided, but a woman who is charged with killing ministers generally ends up with the remnants of the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, and there will never be a day to turn over, let alone be his princess Yan, and her future will be ruined.

So what Zhu Di wants to do is to follow his father's wishes, make his father feel that he is in line with his position, first talk about Xu Miaoyi's doubts and flaws, and then turn his father's disgust with Xu Miaoyi to his hatred for the murderer behind the scenes, and to his concern for Daming Jiangshan Sheji.

Although it can't immediately clear Xu Miaoyi's murder suspicion, it can at least ease the situation, calm his father's anger at Xu Miaoyi, and transfer the contradictions.

Zhu Di's move had an immediate effect, Zhu Yuanzhang let down his vigilance against his son and allowed him to investigate the murder case with Jin Yiwei, and Zhu Di had the opportunity to go to the edict to see Xu Miaoyi herself.

Xu Miaoyi seemed to be very satisfied with her prison life, eating and sleeping, when Zhu Di went to visit the Imperial Prison, Xu Miaoyi was taking a nap, she opened her eyes, and she was still in the mood to joke, "Yo, His Royal Highness King Yan has come to the prison to see me for the second time, and this is this time, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to take me out." ”

The first time was in the Jiming Mountain Heavenly Prison.

With Mao Xiang here, Zhu Di didn't make any concerned moves, and said lightly: "There is good news, Lord Liu's family has entered Beijing and is alive." ”

Xu Miaoyi sighed in disappointment, "This is bad news." Lord Liu's family is safe and sound, if he has never been hunted down, this means that Lord Liu knows nothing about the events of the year, and he has no value. Then all the people who knew it back then became dead. 166 Reading Network
