How would ordinary people react if they accidentally peeked into a big secret?

Hype? Or do you hold it in your heart and don't say it?

The jailers in the prison of the Beijing Criminal Department did not want to choose any of them. He only wished that time could be turned back and return to the moment when he made his routine rounds with an iron ruler.

If his wish can be fulfilled, he will definitely bypass Xingningbo's cell far away and kill him without getting closer!

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, people have to be unlucky, and they can stuff their teeth when they drink water!

If you see it, you see it, and it's useless to poke yourself in the eye.

The jailer silently shed two lines of tears, he has an eighty-year-old mother, and a doll waiting to be fed, and his mother-in-law is a famous flower in ten miles and eight towns, so he ends a good life, he is unwilling!

Dingyuan Hou's cold gaze sent chills down the jailer's back, no miracle happened, he would never see the sun tomorrow.

Shen Xuan's gaze became colder and colder, and the jailer burst into tears, "Master Hou, I didn't see anything for the little one!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he immediately retreated to the wall, shaking his feet, hoping that the person in front of him would spare his life.

This distance is not necessarily safe. How Dingyuan Hou enters the cell, how can he get out. But staying away can always get some psychological comfort.

Shen Xuan didn't say anything, picked up another official document, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote it carefully.

Meng held his chin, looked at Shen Xuan, and then looked at the jailer who ran to the corner and trembled like nothing, it was rare to be kind.

Beckoning, "Don't be afraid, come here." ”

The jailer's head shook like a rattle, pass? How can there be a life! I can't go through it if I die!

Meng Yaya, "Can't get over?" ”

Shen Xuan raised his head and glanced at it.

The jailer burst into tears in an instant, he didn't hear that before killing the pig, let the second senior brother lie on the board by himself, this is inhumane!

Helplessly, the situation is stronger than people, even if you run, you may not be able to escape. Unless he dragged his family and his mouth to become a homeless person, otherwise, with the power of Dingyuan Marquis and Xingningbo, he could be crushed to death with just a finger.

Wiping away tears, the jailer rose sharply with a sense of sorrow.

Under Meng's smile and Shen Xuan's cold gaze, he took a step forward and moved to the cell step by step. Through the wooden fence, a trembling voice, "Master Hou, uncle, the little one really didn't see anything!" ”

Meng turned his head and looked at Shen Xuan, "Master Hou, what do you say you should do about this?" ”

Shen Xuan buried his head in the official document again, "Whatever you want." ”

Meng raised his eyebrows, "How can it be done?" ”

"Yes."

"Let him go?"

"Okay."

From beginning to end, except for the colder eyes, Shen Xuan's attitude has always been very calm, without the slightest embarrassment of the "secret" being broken and the consciousness of needing to kill people.

Handled by him?

Meng put his arms on his coiled knees, clasped his hands, and blew a strand of black hair that fell on his forehead.

After living in a cell for a long time, it will always become "free and uninhibited". is as neat as Marquis Shen, and his clothes are changed every day, which is completely different.

After thinking for a moment, Meng said to the jailer in the most kind tone: "From today onwards, the patrol work of this piece will be taken care of by one step, how about it?" ”

"What do you mean, uncle?"

"It is inevitable that there will be another accident and innocent people will be implicated." The corners of Meng's mouth curled, "Marquis Shen's mood won't be so good every day." So, let's work out a little bit. ”

The jailer was frightened, was this a tiring thing?

"Rest assured, the safety of your life is absolutely guaranteed."

The jailer is more and more frightened, and his life is guaranteed, that is to say, there is no other security? When Lord Shen is happy, will he remove one of his arms and legs?

"On the day Meng goes out, he will definitely prepare a generous gift as a thank you. However, Meng said, "If there are rumors, you should know what the consequences will be." ”

The jailer shook his lips, and finally could not control the fear in his heart, and burst into tears.

Leaning on the wooden fence, watching the jailer go all the way, Meng touched his nose, bullying people like this, it doesn't seem good?

"Master Hou is not worried?"

"What are you worried about?"

"It's just ......" Meng leaned over, his voice gradually lowered, and pecked the corner of Shen Xuan's mouth sideways, "Not worried at all?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a big hand pressed the back of his head.

Shen Xuan told Meng with practical actions that the so-called worry was purely superfluous.

When Shen Xuan let go, Meng licked-licked-the corners of his mouth and hissed. The lower lip must have been bitten.

Looking at Shen Xuan again, he is not much better than himself.

It's finally balanced.

In the next few days, the prison of the Ministry of Punishment remained peaceful.

No rumors spread, and the tearful jailer returned to work. It's just that when he patrols the prison again, every time he passes by the cell where Xingningbo is being held, he doesn't squint, takes three steps and makes two steps, and spends his trot. If you don't worry about hitting the wall, you'll be blindfolded.

There are more and more official documents sent to the prison, and I heard the experience of the military governor's mansion that the Marquis of Guangping is sick, and the sick note is handed to the Son of Heaven by Princess Yong'an herself.

Out of the psychology of compensation for his daughter, even if the number of days of leave was seriously exceeded, Zhu Di also approved the sick leave note of the concubine.

With the fake strip in hand, Guangping Hou's waist is no longer sore, his head is no longer painful, and he sings easily.

Dingyuanhou took the baton and struggled in the ocean of work.

For three consecutive days, Shen Xuan only slept less than two hours a day, and his face unconsciously showed a trace of exhaustion.

Meng was distressed and offered to help.

The official seal was accepted, and the title is still there. It should be fine to help with the screening and sorting work. When it comes to numbers, it can also be of great help.

Shen Xuan did not refuse.

It's just that Meng's lips hurt again.

With Meng's help, Shen Xuan's working speed soared at rocket speed.

With the same workload, Guangping Hou was tired and lay down, but Dingyuan Hou was calm and calm, and his daily working hours were compressed from eight hours to four hours, and the phenomenon of overtime basically no longer appeared.

was stimulated by Shen Xuan's fighting spirit, and after the march, the military governor's mansion erupted with greater enthusiasm for work. is like a bull with soaring hair, vowing not to give up until the goal is reached.

The officials of the Sixth Department of Beijing were stunned for a moment, and they had to look at the military attachés of the military capital after the march.

When you go to the battlefield, you can cut people, and when you enter the yamen, you still have first-class work efficiency. No wonder it can be valued by the Son of Heaven.

Only when there is contrast will there be competition, and where there is competition, there will be progress.

Under the stimulation of the military governor's mansion after the march, the officials of the six departments were not willing to lag behind, and the efficiency and standard of doing things were greatly improved in a short period of time. Write down an edict and send it to Nanjing.

Look at the work efficiency of Shuntianfu, and then look at Yingtianfu, compared with the newly formed department, can the Sixth Department of Nanjing still sit still?

Zhu Di is not afraid of being tired, as an ADHD patient who thinks of walking around the neighbor's house without having anything to do, his energy is very comparable. This is very similar to Daddy Zhu Yuanzhang. The more diligent the subordinates, the more they naturally value him.

Of course, it's okay to value it, and praise is temporarily exempt.

Countless facts have proved that being praised by the Son of Heaven is far more likely to cry than to laugh.

The edict was sent back to Nanjing, on the one hand, reminding the Sixth Department of Nanjing, don't think that you can be lazy if the Son of Heaven is not there, you must work hard for me! On the other hand, it is also to put pressure on the mastermind of the assassination. The emperor can care about the work of Yingtian's officials, does it prove that the assassination case has eyebrows? It's time for the skin to taut.

Along with the edict, there was also a secret order for Jinyiwei.

After receiving the order, Jin Yiwei commanded Yang Duo to immediately lead people to surround the mansion of Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo.

Yang Duo had a driver's post in his hand, but he didn't arrest anyone, he only sent people to guard the gate of Cao Guogong's mansion, and the entry and exit must be strictly investigated, and Li Jinglong himself could not be an exception.

After Li Jinglong, the mansion of Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, was also besieged, and Geng Bingwen's eldest son, Geng Xuan, the guest of honor, was invited to Fusi in Weibei Town, Jinyi to drink tea. This time, Geng Bingwen couldn't see the emperor even if he wanted to intercede.

Zuodu was safe, and Hou Shengyong of Licheng was not spared.

Jin Yiwei's movements were extremely fast, and overnight, the door of the mansion was blocked. Passers-by, seeing the brocade clothes and waist-embroidered spring knife of the Son of Heaven's army, all retreated. Especially the officials who have experienced the Hongwu Dynasty, seeing Jinyiwei acting like this, they can't help but worry, could it be that the Lanyu case is going to happen again?

It is not difficult to find that most of the people in the besieged mansion this time are former ministers of Jianwen, military generals, and they had a confrontation with the Son of Heaven during the Jingjing.

Li Jinglong stepped aside, Geng Bingwen, Sheng Yong, and Ping'an all made Zhu Di suffer.

Could it be that the Son of Heaven is going to clear up-forget it?

The generals were uneasy, and so were the ministers.

Xie Jin and the others in Wenyuan Pavilion were all worried in their hearts, and Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi couldn't continue to stay out of the matter.

Everyone is speculating about what the Son of Heaven wants to do.

Could it be that Li Jinglong and others were the masterminds of the assassination case?

There's no reason for that.

The Jianwen Dynasty has passed, Zhu Di has secured the throne, and at this time he is planning to assassinate, and his head is in the water? What's more, Emperor Jianwen entered the imperial mausoleum, and several of his younger brothers were also demoted to concubines and sent to Zhongdu to guard, what is the use of a successful assassination?

I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.

Perhaps thinking that the heads of the courtiers were not big enough, Zhu Di was very wide and released two thunderbolts.

The edict of the king was arrogant and rebellious, violated the ancestral teachings, abused the army and the people, had no king and no brother, and was rebellious, reforming his three guards, and only giving the captain 30 followers.

The king of the valley was greedy, cruel, cruel and tyrannical, good at building civil engineering, fatigued the army and the people, and imposed additional taxes, which made the people's grievances boil, and reformed his guards, which made the palace of the king think about it.

At the same time, it was strictly ordered that the officials should have divisions, and from now on, they had to be ordered, and the royal government was not allowed to serve an army or a person without permission, collect a single money and a thing, and violators would be severely punished.

disposed of the acting king and the king of the valley, and Zhu Di issued a decree to crown Zhu Panyan as the son of King Ning and reward him with silver and Lu. At the same time, the prince of Zhou and the prince of Min were canonized.

Beat a stick and give a sweet date. Beat a batch and pull a batch, Emperor Yongle used it quite skillfully.

At this point, the mastermind of the assassination case has not yet surfaced, but it is not difficult to see some clues from the repeated actions of the Son of Heaven.

Jianwen's former minister, vassal king, and relative.

If you think about it deeply, you can't help but be frightened.

Zhu Gaochi lived in the Wenhua Palace, closed doors, and even Xie Jin and the others were not seen. In addition to the invitation table for Zhu Di, he also did not ask about the government. Even if a courtier comes to the door, it will be sealed as soon as possible, and the table will be sent to Beiping with the truth.

The princess was detained in the Wenhua Palace for many days, and it was not until the will of Princess Shang Changning was issued with Mu Xin as the lieutenant of the concubine that she was summoned by Queen Xu to speak.

During this period, Geng Bingwen was sparse and asked to be removed. Ping An and Sheng Yong are also sparse begging bones.

Li Jinglong did not express his grievances, nor did he express his grievances, Cao Guogong was a tough guy in the end, and he went on a hunger strike.

When the news reached Beiping, Zhu Di was very surprised.

Ten days have passed, and when others thought that the Cao Guogong Mansion was going to prepare for a white affair, Li Jinglong was still alive and well, and continued to go on a hunger strike.

After receiving Jinyiwei's report, Zhu Di laughed angrily.

"Spread my will and let Yang Duo remove the people. also bring a message to Cao Guogong, don't starve if you don't die,"

"Yes."

Zheng He promised and retreated.

Zhu Di picked up the impeachment of Sheng Yong by Chen Ying, the imperial history of Houdu, pondered for a long time, and finally put it aside.

This assassination reminded Zhu Di that now is not the time to rest assured, he will never be able to sit back and relax if he can't get the final answer.

The Jinyi Guard was sent in order to dig out the Jianwen Yu Party hidden in Beijing, not to wipe out the military generals of the Jianwen Dynasty.

In August, Du Ping, who assassinated the Son of Heaven, was sentenced to Ling Chi and the three clans. Du Ping's family, the clansmen, were taken to prison according to the household registration register, to be executed after the autumn. was disposed of together, as well as more than a dozen people who were "very close" to Du Ping.

Jin Yiwei's ability to do things is extraordinary, and in less than a month, all the people who have been related to Du Ping have been dug up, including Meng Qinghai.

When the news of Meng being imprisoned by the Ministry of Punishment came back to Mengjiatun, the clansmen were worried. Even if Meng Hu and Meng Qingjiang inquired about the news, and Shen Xuan sent someone to talk, everyone couldn't rest assured.

Meng Wang's face washed his face with tears all day long, and Meng Chongjiu was so anxious that there was a circle of burning bubbles on his mouth.

After a long time, Meng was released, and the clansmen had some bad speculations in their hearts. Some are worried about Meng's life, and some complain that Meng is burdening others. Some people even said that it is better to take advantage of Meng's crime and remove him from the clan, and he can still save the lives of a clan.

The patriarch couldn't be suppressed, and the voice of complaining became louder and louder. Meng Chong and the ninth clan elder immediately made a decision, gathered the clansmen, and said sharply, who dares to move such a mind again, immediately open the ancestral hall and cross out his family from the family tree!

"Who is the Meng clan because it is today? Who are the sons and daughters able to study, join the army, and get ahead? ”

"A man must have a conscience! Grace will take revenge, and beasts are not as good! ”

"Twelve Lang is in trouble, as a clansman, he should help, and if he can't help, he shouldn't fall into the well!"

"Expelling the Twelve Lang clans, you can say it! Don't say that the current situation is unclear, that is, Twelve Lang is really in trouble, and the Meng family is also carrying it with him! ”

"If there is a benefit, you will rush up, and when you encounter a disaster, you will immediately clear it up, touch your conscience, and if you really do it, you will still be able to hold your head high and be a man in the future? It is rumored that who can still look down on the people of Mengjiatun?! ”

After saying a few words, the clansmen lowered their heads, and their faces showed shame.

Meng Wang and his two daughters-in-law wept silently, and several women stepped forward to comfort them and shed tears together.

Just when Meng Chongjiu and other clan elders appeased the people of the lower clan and continued to find out the news, a team of officials suddenly arrived at Mengjiatun and took Meng Qinghai and Meng Guangxiao away.

Only then did everyone know that it was Du Ping from the neighboring village who assassinated the Son of Heaven! The matter involving Meng Qinghai and the Du family was dug up, and he went to the court for questioning.

Meng Liu cried so hard that he fell to the ground, and was helped up, and everyone was a little stupid.

Unfortunately, there was no evidence to suggest that Meng Qinghai was involved in the assassination, and the father and son were quickly released.

However, due to the close relationship between Meng Qinghai and the Du family, during the Jingjing period, there was a suspicion of revealing to Du Ping about the defense of Beiping, and there was a confession from Du Ping's family, which was verified to be true.

Wanping County Order did not embarrass Meng Guangxiao and his son, and he didn't even hit the board. But the fame was revoked, which made the father and son more uncomfortable than playing the board.

Although he was squeezed out by the clansmen, there was a road to the imperial examination, at least there was a rush. Now there is nothing.

When he returned home in despair, Meng Qinghai was bedridden, and Meng Guangxiao was also seriously ill.

Meng Liu had to take care of the father and son, and he was so tired that he didn't have the strength to speak. At this time, there were long-tongued women and idle men chewing their tongues, saying that it was Meng Qinghai's idea to exclude the Meng family. It's okay just to gossip, but there are still witnesses.

"It's so bad that you deserve retribution!"

Hearing this, Meng Liu couldn't hold it anymore. When Meng Qingjiang went home, he took his hand and cried breathlessly.

Meng Qingjiang did not tell Meng Liu, because of Meng Qinghai's relationship, he was demoted from 100 households to the general banner.

My father and brother have fallen, and no matter how much depression there is in my heart, this family must be supported by him. In the past, my father and brother did wrong things, but now we can't be wrong again.

Meng Qingjiang was implicated, and so was Meng Hu. But with the help of his peers who were born in Yanshan as defenders, his situation was much better than Meng Qingjiang.

The military men all believe that the people of Xingning Boji will be fine. There is a deep affection for the Marquis of Dingyuan, and there are two princes to intercede, once the mastermind is identified, Xingningbo will definitely be released, and he only needs to wait for ten days.

But this is a full month.

In September, Du Ping was sent to the court.

Although the mastermind of the assassination has been identified, it has not been made public.

Emperor Yongle simply played a trick and directly buckled the black cauldron on the head of the tartar. According to the original words of the Son of Heaven, it is either Warat or Tatar, anyway, it is you, and there is no one else.

The Tatar envoys, who had been hanging for more than two months, fainted directly, not knowing whether they were frightened or angry. When he woke up, he cried and shouted to see the Son of Heaven. It must be explained clearly to the Great Tomorrow that this matter has nothing to do with Tatar, does it have anything to do with it!

Hearing the news released by the border army, Warat was also stunned. Following the opening of Daning, the border army of Datong and Gansu also began to assemble, and Mahamu could not sit still at all. Send envoys at once, and rush to the border quickly, this fact is too serious, and must be made clear!

Because the Warat envoy rushed a little more urgently, and did not hit the festival, he was directly shot by the rangers who were criminals of the Datong border army.

Mahamu swallowed the bitter water, and then sent envoys, no matter what, he had to see the Ming Dynasty Emperor. Before leaving, he told the envoys to be sure to put out the festival and flags. If a person dies, he can be sent again, and if the time is delayed, the trouble will be great.

After discussing with the leaders of Wuliangha, they felt that this was an opportunity to show their loyalty to Emperor Yongle, and they collectively dared to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor, and they must not let it go! Uliangha sincerely hopes to represent the Ming Dynasty and resolutely eliminate them!

In addition to the three parts of Mongolia, the savage Jurchens also made a lot of fun.

Due to the long distance and inconvenient transportation, the news has changed when it reaches the Jurchens.

The Ming Dynasty was assassinated, this is true.

The assassin of the Son of Heaven was a Han man, and this is not wrong.

The power of the killer's collusion is that the Tartar children really have it. That's a bit subtle.

The Jurchen leaders are not calm. There's no calmness. The Ming Dynasty drove the Northern Yuan Dynasty all over the grassland, wouldn't it be easier to clean up yourself?

After some deliberation, the Jurchen leaders decided to organize a team and go to Beiping to pay tribute. Things don't dare to be too late, it's too late, and the army of the Ming Dynasty is afraid that it will hit the doorstep.

In October of the first year of Yongle, the envoys and tributary teams of Tatar, Warat, Uliangha, and savage Jurchens arrived in Beiping successively.

In the same month, Meng Ye finally ended his prison life.

Walking out of the prison of the Criminal Department, the sunlight was a little dazzling.

Zhu Gaosui had already been sent to Kaiyuan, and Zhu Gaoxu was waiting outside the prison.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu, Meng Xing saluted and said, "I have seen Your Highness." ”

Looking at Meng, Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything for a long time.

Shouldn't Xingningbo be hungry for two meals before going to see the driver?

How does this look like he just got out of prison?

Glancing at Shen Xuan standing beside Meng, Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and decisively threw this thought into the corner.
