Jiangxi, Nanchang

In King Ning's mansion, Zhu Quan was covered with black clouds, looking at Zhu Panyan who was standing in front of him, his fists clenched with a click.

Zhu Panyan knew that he was in trouble, and he didn't dare to raise his head in the face of Zhu Quan's gaze.

"Zhilu Dao is scared?"

The door was closed, and there were henchmen guarding the door, but Zhu Quan still lowered his voice, but the anger in his voice couldn't be suppressed no matter what.

Joining forces with others to assassinate the emperor is eating the gall of an ambitious leopard? It also involves Jianwenyu - the party, which is really bold!

Once the matter is leaked, even if it is not the mastermind, it is also a crime of beheading.

What about brothers, and what about nephews?

What kind of character is Zhu Di and how dark he is, Zhu Quan knows better than anyone else!

"Say, who else knows about this?"

"A few guards around my son." After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Panxuan finally didn't dare to hide it, "There is also the acting king." ”

"Who?"

"Acting King."

For a long time, Zhu Quan didn't say anything more.

Zhu Panyan raised his head boldly, and when he saw Zhu Quan's appearance, his legs instantly weakened.

Daddy was smoking, and his anger was off the charts.

"Rebel!" Zhu Quan was so angry that he couldn't shoot Zhu Panyan to death.

Hiding from him so much, but letting the acting king catch the handle, how stupid is it, can you tell the distance of relatives? !

Extremely angry, Zhu Quan kicked over the stool, neatly removed a stool leg, and beckoned to Zhu Panyan.

The fine tradition left by Emperor Hongwu, the people of the old Zhu family taught their sons that they often had to use weapons.

Zhu Di is good at using whips, and Zhu Quan loves to use sticks.

It's all about dancing.

There are no weapons at hand, and stool legs are also a good choice.

was beaten twice, and Zhu Panyan couldn't bear it.

In the past, Zhu Quan made the family law, not to mention lifting it high and falling gently, and there was also a sense of proportion under his hands. Today's beating is definitely a beating to death. Anyway, he is also the grandson of the king raised by Jin Zun and Yugui, and no matter how hard his body is, he can't hold it.

Zhu Panxuan is not as thick as Zhu Gaochi's meat, nor is it as good as Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui, who have been trained for a long time, jumped up at the moment, and begged for mercy while running. If you don't beg for mercy, you can't do it, and you were killed by your father's righteousness, and you have nowhere to reason at all.

Princess Ning heard the movement and hurried over.

The palace attendants who served the princess followed and ran quickly, and they were all startled when they saw the scene in front of them.

"Lord Wang, what's the matter?"

On a June day, his clothes were thin, and there were already three or four more bloody purlins on Zhu Panyan's back. Blood seeped through the blue robe, and it was scary to look at.

Princess Ning's inquiry, Zhu Quan turned a deaf ear.

Holding the stick, he continued to hit Zhu Panyan's back and legs. Avoid the key points, but the strength is not lacking at all.

"Lord Wang!" Princess Ning hurriedly stepped forward, blocked in front of Zhu Panxuan, and persuaded, "Lord Wang, Panyan is at fault, and he shouldn't be so heavy." ”

Seeing that Zhu Quan didn't listen to persuasion at all, and his hand was about to fall, Princess Ning was anxious, and as soon as she grabbed the leg of the stool in his hand, she glared, "What, the prince even wants to beat his concubine?" What a majesty! ”

It must be admitted that Zhu Yuanzhang has a great vision for choosing his in-laws.

The princesses' maiden families are either the founding heroes or noble generals.

Zhu Biao's crown princess is from the Chang family of Kaiping Wang, and Zhu Di's wife, Empress Xu, is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Wei.

Zhu Quan's princess is also from Jiangmen, with beautiful appearance, proud figure, and also unusual skills.

On weekdays, Zhu Quan comes first in everything. Once the bottom line is touched, King Ning's husband will always be shaken twice.

In this matter, Zhu Quan and Zhu Di both have a deep understanding.

What does it mean to be painful and happy?

What does it mean to have a good wife?

Empress Xu and Princess Ning, Gai is like this.

The "murderous weapon" was firmly caught, Zhu Quan was not good at really working with his wife, the outcome was unpredictable, and the two of them staged an all-martial arts for the education of their children, and it was really not good to hear it.

"Alas!"

With a sigh, Zhu Quan let go of his hand, "It's not that I'm lonely and unreasonable, it's really that I have caused a big disaster." ”

Seeing that Princess Ning was puzzled, Zhu Quan asked Zhu Panyan to pick him up and send him to the compartment to use medicine. closed the door and told Zhu Panyan about his participation in the assassination of Zhu Di.

Although he was not the mastermind, Du Ping's household registration was helped by the nails left in Daning by Ning Wangfu. Following the investigation to the lower part of the road, Daning commanded that several hidden piles buried in the division would be pulled out.

"The Son of Heaven has always wanted to uproot and pull out the power of Gu from Daning, and Pan Yan sent the knife to him." King Ning paced with his hands in his hands, his face was calm, "The strength is gone, and Lone also admits it." When it is decided today, it is determined that he will not be able to go back to Daning. But Pan Yan is involved in the stabbing matter, but it will kill our family. The Son of Heaven will not be soft, even if he doesn't do it now, sooner or later, he will ......"

Zhu Quan told the matter, and Princess Ning's face changed suddenly.

No wonder the prince has such a heavy hand!

"The prince said, does the king know about this?"

"Yes." Zhu Quan nodded, "If this is not the case, there is always a way to hide the matter, and it is a big deal to give up a few more hidden stakes." He knew that this thing could never be good. In order to get rid of himself, I am afraid that he will immediately push the pan out to take the blame, and when the time comes, our family will fall into it. ”

Princess Ning stopped talking, experienced the martyrdom, and was relocated to Nanchang, she knew the methods of the Son of Heaven as well as King Ning.

The acting princess is the queen's own sister, and the matter is leaked, and the acting king can really push the pan out to take the blame. In terms of the distance of relatives and the degree of jealousy of the Son of Heaven, their own family will be the first to be disposed of.

"Lord Wang," said Princess Ning, gritting her teeth, "why don't you take the initiative to ask the Son of Heaven for guilt." ”

"What?"

"While the Son of Heaven has not yet fallen, take the initiative to ask the Son of Heaven for sin." Princess Ning has a resolute personality and is decisive in case of trouble, otherwise, she would not have accompanied Zhu Quan to live in Daning for ten years, "Pan Yang was young, and he was bewitched by the strong people, so he made such a big mistake, and he has sincerely repented, and he is willing to listen to the Son of Heaven." After a pause, Princess Ning lowered her voice, "The concubine has heard that after the acting king returned to Datong Mansion, he was greedy and cruel, the people were very hard, the tax burden was extremely heavy, and he was dissatisfied with the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven is jealous of the prince, and may not let the king go. ”

Zhu Quan pondered and said, "You have to think about it." ”

Princess Ning didn't continue, stood up, saluted Zhu Quan, and went to the compartment to see the injured Zhu Panyan.

This unlucky child, he is angry with the Son of Heaven, why doesn't his father have it? I don't want to think about the consequences of doing things, the knife is handed directly to the Son of Heaven, if one is not good, the whole family will suffer, and if you don't die, you will end up with a life-imprisonment-imprisonment-, you really should let the prince beat him.

I read all the books on weekdays in vain, guard against arrogance and rashness, and forget all the principles of planning and acting.

Zhu Panyan was lying on the collapse, his shirt had been removed, revealing the purlins on his back, which were all red and swollen.

The royal doctor is applying ointment to the wound.

Seeing Princess Ning coming in, Zhu Panyan struggled to move and called "Mother Princess".

Tongliang Doctor asked about her son's injury, Princess Ning waved everyone away, picked up a cloth towel and wiped Zhu Panyan's forehead, and said, "Do you know that the road is wrong?" ”

"Mother," Zhu Panyan said with frustration in his voice, "My son is wrong. ”

Recklessness and indiscretion led the whole family into a trap. King Ning struck a stick and completely woke up Zhu Panyan.

Princess Ning put down the cloth towel and stroked Zhu Panyan's hair, "Don't blame your father for being ruthless, if you don't beat you, how can you save your life." “

"Mother?"

"The mother should have told you these words a long time ago. Maybe we can save ourselves from today's woe. A touch of complexity flashed in Princess Ning's eyes, and she hardened her heart, "Although your father is a vassal king, he is no longer the military general who shocked the northern frontier and commanded the three guards of Duoyan in the past. From this day forward, you have to keep in mind! ”

"Mother, I'm not reconciled."

"What if you're unwilling?" Princess Ning combed Zhu Panyan's hair and said, "People are swords, I am fish and meat, and I have to endure it if I can't bear it." Besides, your father can endure it, why can't you? ”

Zhu Panyan buried his head and stopped talking.

King Ning walked in and saw Zhu Panxuan like this, but his heart softened. But what should be said must still be said, and the son cannot be allowed to continue to be wrong.

"Daning's dark pile, there won't be much left after this time. Duoyan Sanwei, don't send anyone to contact you again. ”

Zhu Panyan raised his head violently.

"The matter of the king, my father will think of a solution." Zhu Quan softened his tone, "Recently, you have been recuperating from your injuries. If there is no way to delay, your father will accompany you to Beijing. ”

"Father?"

"Everything has a father."

Zhu Quan was ruthless to his son, which does not mean that he will abandon Zhu Panyan.

The people of the old Zhu family are all short-handed, Zhu Di is like this, and Zhu Quan is the same.

Zhu Panyan's lips moved, his eyes were red, and when he saw that Zhu Quan was about to turn his back and leave, he hurriedly said: "Father, the Zhang family is also involved in this matter!" ”

"Zhang's family?"

"Daning is the commander of the servant, Zhang Gui is a distant relative of the princess." Zhu Panyan stood up strongly, "Before Xingning Bo arrived in Daning, the affairs of the Daning Capital Division were all in the hands of this person. ”

"He's also involved in this?"

Zhu Quan was stunned, if this is the case, is it the meaning of the princess or the prince? Could it be that the Son of Heaven has not established the crown prince for a long time, and Zhu Gaochi can't wait? If this is the case, Zhu Gaochi can endure it better than his old man, and he can pretend. Not only him, but also himself.

Zhu Panyan shook his head, "I can't be sure, I just know that Zhang Gui has received a lot of filial piety." Du Ping is by no means the only one who replaces the household registration. I really want to check, Daning, Beiping, and Xuanfu can't run. ”

Zhu Laosi's family started infighting, and Zhu Quan should have been happy.

Thinking of the possible consequences, he hoped that this matter had nothing to do with Zhu Gaochi. Otherwise, more and more people will be involved like a snowball, and the matter will not end well, and maybe the Tartars will take advantage of the chaos.

It's contradictory.

This just shows that Zhu Yuanzhang sent Zhu Quan and Zhu Di to fight in the northern Xinjiang together, and handed over the fierce Duoyan Sanwei to him, and he didn't look away. But Zhu Di will not use him anymore, Zhu Quan understands better than anyone else.

After beating his son, Zhu Quan returned to the study and considered how to write the table for Zhu Di.

Is it the ether-ancestral law as the starting point, or is it to play the emotional card? Or sue the king directly? Should the matter of the Zhang family be mentioned, does the Son of Heaven already know the Tao?

Zhu Quan picked up the pen, wrote two lines, frowned, crumpled the paper into a ball, and threw it at his feet.

Just as he couldn't make up his mind, there was a sudden knock on the door, "Lord Wang, the slave has something important to report." ”

Zhu Quan put down his pen and said, "Come in." ”

The waiter dressed as a guard pushed open the door, closed it carefully, and after bowing, he came to Zhu Quan and whispered something in front of him.

Zhu Quan's face changed suddenly, and the ink dripped onto the paper unconsciously.

"Jin Yiwei? Did you read that right? ”

"Back to the prince, the slave is absolutely right." The chamberlain said, "In the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping, the slave maid has seen one of them. ”

Zhu Quan used force in his hand, and the pen was broken by him.

After a long time, Zhu Quan threw away the brush that was broken into two, picked up one again, took a deep breath, dipped it in ink, and fell heavily on the paper: "The Son of Heaven is good, and the minister Zhu Quan knocks on the ......."

Peiping

Dingyuan Hou insisted on moving into the prison of the Beiping Criminal Department, locked himself up, and the Criminal Department had no choice.

I can't beat it, and the reason doesn't make sense, so I reported it to the Son of Heaven, and I haven't seen the Son of Heaven take action so far.

The jailers can only be asked to strengthen patrols every day, and Dingyuan Marquis must not be allowed to make any further alterations to the cell.

The funds from above and below are limited, and after Dingyuanhou tossed it like this, the maintenance costs of the cell rose gradually, and from the Shangshu of the Criminal Department to the experience of taking care of it, after pulling the abacus, looking at the various expenses, his heart was bleeding.

The cost is overrun, and the household department Shangshu Yuxin is an old pick, and he will definitely not make up for it.

Looking for a distant marquis to ask for an account? I'm afraid my life will be in danger.

Looking for the Son of Heaven? More unlikely.

The only way to do this is to increase the intensity of the work of the jailers.

Marquis Dingyuan was unreasonable, and Xingningbo, who provoked him into the prison cell, was still reasonable...... Right?

In short, the emperor didn't speak, and no one dared to get him out if Shen Xuan wanted to live in the prison of the Criminal Department.

The criminal department Shangshu could only weep while chasing after the household department Shangshu with the account book. No one could be found in the yamen, so they went directly to the door of the house.

Calculate Yu Xin's working time, squat at a fixed point before dawn, enter and exit together, and rub the sedan chair.

In a word, the Criminal Department has no money, and in order to repair the work, they all pay for it. Now the hole is too big for even the officials to fill it. So, Yu Situ will help.

The head of the household is still in the book, and he can't avoid it in a sedan chair, so he simply changes it to horseback riding. Shang Shumao of the Criminal Department was squatting at the door of the house, and he sneaked out of the door in the middle of the day.

Under the leadership of Master Situ, the check-in time of the household department has been continuously advanced. The boss lights a candle to work, and the subordinate sleeps at home, waiting to be laid off?

Seeing that the household department was so enthusiastic about its work, other departments also began to smear work and take the initiative to work overtime.

Beijing's six ministries are all newly formed government work departments, and most of the Tianguan palm prints are descendants of the Son of Heaven, and it is the time when the new officials take office with three fires and want to perform well. I held my breath from top to bottom, for fear of being compared to other departments.

Overtime is not counted, on the way to work, it is a waste of time to sit in a sedan chair, except for the elderly osteoporosis, the officials of the six departments all ride horses to work, and the generals are amazed.

Before dawn, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the city.

Changsui and the guards ran behind, and within ten days, they all practiced a strong physique that did not lose to the border army.

Running in the morning behind Sijo every day, speed and endurance are tests, and it is difficult not to become a sports sunshine man.

The officials worked diligently and dedicatedly, and Zhu Di was very happy.

Work hard!

After being happy, Zhu Di soon found that his workload had also increased exponentially.

I fought at night and stayed up for two days, and the sloppiness on the case did not decrease.

Zhu Di finally figured it out, Beiping is not as good as Nanjing, the work of various departments is still in the run-in stage, there is no general political envoy and Wenyuan Pavilion to help do the sealing and screening work, the work enthusiasm of the six departments is high, and it is certain that the Son of Heaven will work overtime.

Not only was the Son of Heaven tired, but Yuan Rong, the Marquis of Guangping, who was temporarily in charge of the affairs of the military capital after the military capital was left behind in Beijing, was also dazzled.

The Eight Prefectures of Shuntian and the Guards under the jurisdiction of the Daning Metropolitan Division are all subordinate to the Houjun Governor's Office. All matters related to military training, tuntian, and garrison must be summarized and reported to Yuan Rong.

Shen Xuan ran to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to hide, and Yuan Rong couldn't hide, so he could only pick up the work of two people on one shoulder.

The intensity of the work is too high, and Yuan is not a superman, so he is so tired that the soles of his feet are shaking after a few days, and he looks at people's shadows.

finally returned home, and when I saw my wife, tears flowed down my eyes.

It's a miracle to be able to make it home alive!

Without saying a word, Yuan Rong closed his eyes and fell to the ground, so frightened that the princess's face turned pale, and she hurriedly called someone to ask for a doctor.

The doctor has seen it, in a word, tired.

Looking at the colt lying on the collapse, with two black circles under her eyes, and her anger like a gossamer, Princess Yongan was furious.

Is this bullying honest people or what?

Dingyuanhou went to the prison of the Criminal Department and did not work, and he also got a good reputation for sticking a knife in the ribs for his friend. Now when it comes to Dingyuan Hou, who doesn't give a thumbs up, good man! What a hero! Righteousness!

His own horse was so tired that he almost died of overwork, but no one knew.

This must be said!

As the eldest daughter of Zhu Di and Empress Xu, Princess Yongan has completely inherited the character of Empress Xu and can be called a model of a royal princess. But she was anxious, so she still picked up the weapon and turned into a heroine among women.

Hearing that his daughter came to the door, Emperor Yongle had a headache.

It's absolutely impossible to hide and not see, and if you do, you can't solve it.

As soon as the news of Meng being imprisoned came out, Jin Yiwei immediately reported that someone wanted his life.

If the assassination of the Son of Heaven fails, a mastermind must always be handed over.

Xingningbo's suicide in fear of sin is a ready-made excuse.

Meng was born from the grassroots, did not have a strong background, and offended the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and was definitely the best substitute for the dead.

This is also an important reason why the mastermind chose to do it in Daning, rather than Beiping.

An earl without a backstage, dead is dead. Even if Zhu Di understands what is going on and tries his best to investigate, there is no proof of it.

Replace it with the Marquis of Dingyuan and the Marquis of Guangping, and you have to weigh it carefully.

Shen Xuan is Zhu Di's righteous son, Yuan Rong is Zhu Di's son-in-law, both of them have made great contributions in Jingnan, and Jane is in the emperor's heart. Let these two people take the blame? It's pure pipe dreaming.

Shen Xuan was imprisoned in the Criminal Department, and he couldn't get out, so Zhu Di was so angry that he wanted to whip him.

Calm down and think about it, it is not difficult to understand his true intentions.

No matter how strict the defense is, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will take advantage of the loophole. But with the Marquis of Dingyuan on his side, who can attack Xingningbo? Who would dare to attack Xingningbo?

There is a prison of Dingyuan Hou, 100% Longtan Tiger's Den. If you don't have the awareness of losing your arms and legs, it's better not to enter.

Saving Meng's life will make it difficult for the mastermind to sleep, and if he is uneasy, he will definitely leak flaws.

So, Zhu Di acquiesced to Shen Xuan's "righteous anger". Knowing that there were rumors, I sighed in my heart that for my sake, I had to be wronged again. When the truth comes out, Xingningbo will also add more rewards.

Zhu Di thought well, but he didn't expect that the wind of diligence suddenly blew in Beiping, and everyone strived to be upstream.

The six departments worked overtime, and the military governor's mansion was also enthusiastic about work.

The intensity of work continues to increase, Zhu Di himself can still insist, but Zhu Di's son-in-law can't hold on.

The consequence is that the girl directly asks her father for an explanation.

Seeing Zhu Di, Princess Yongan didn't say a word, knelt on the ground to wipe her tears, and resolutely asked her father to arrest Dingyuan Hou out of prison. Otherwise, the horse will be tired, and the life will not be able to live.

"Yong'an, my father also has difficulties......"

"Father," Princess Yong'an wiped her tears, "Can't you really arrest Marquis Dingyuan?" ”

Zhu Di shook his head.

"Can't you come out during the day and go back at night?"

Zhu Di continued to shake his head.

Princess Yongan gritted her teeth, "This can't be done, then it's not done, then send official business to prison!" In short, the colt needs to rest. ”

Zhu Di touched his short mustache, groaned for a long time, and nodded.

This way you can.

The silent one became Princess Yong'an. She just said casually, and her father really agreed?

The doubt was only instantaneous, and it was quickly put aside by Princess Yong'an.

No matter what, the pony can rest.

During the reign of Emperor Tai-Zugao, officials who brought wooden flails to the court abounded, and there was no need to make a fuss about handling official business in the prison of the Criminal Department.

Princess Yong'an returned home satisfied and informed the horse of the good news.

The Marquis of Guangping said that Princess Neng Shang is a blessing that he has cultivated for several lifetimes!

The husband and wife held hands and looked at each other, and everything was silent.

The mountain-like official business was moved into the prison of the Criminal Department, Meng sat cross-legged, supported his chin, and smacked his lips, "Master Hou, it's not a matter to handle official business in the cell, so it's better for you to go out." ”

Shen Xuan's answer was to put down the pen, grab it with a big hand, bow his head, and gagged.

Meng was speechless.

The only thought is that he has been washing his face and brushing his teeth for a while now.

With a dull sound, Shen Xuan and Meng turned their heads at the same time.

Outside the cell, the jailer's iron ruler fell to the ground, already petrified.
