There is a prince in Shandong who rebelled, not to mention that Wang Yuan didn't believe it, and even Zhu Houzhao didn't believe it, otherwise how could Wang Yuan be allowed to investigate?

Wang Yuan didn't dare to slack off, and went straight to Yanzhou overnight, and by the way, he also brought Xing Tai with him, who let this disciple who had just received hear something that he shouldn't have heard.

After riding through the silted river, everyone dismounted and boarded the boat, and Wang Yuan asked, "What's going on?" In detail. ”

The eunuch Wen Xiang replied: "Liang Gu, the head of the Ministry of Officials, received a secret report from fellow villagers Qu Ang and Xifengzhu, saying that Zhu Dangshu, the king of Guishan, intended to rebel. Director Liang reported the matter to Yang Yiqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Yang Shangshu forwarded the matter to the Ministry of War. Although the military department did not know whether it was true or not, in order to prevent accidents, it ordered the sergeants of each guard station to move to Jinan. ”

"That's it?" Wang Yuan said with a smile.

Wen Xiang said: "If it's just like this, no one will believe it." But after the army moved to Jinan, King Lu also reported to the court, saying that King Guishan intended to rebel. ”

King Lu is the father of King Guishan!

The father reported his son for rebellion, who dares not to believe it?

Wang Yuan didn't believe it, and neither did the emperor.

Zhu Houzhao not only did not believe it, but especially admired Zhu Dangshu, the king of Guishan.

Because Zhu Dangshu is not a wine bag and rice bag, he is a prince who is skilled in arching and horses.

Last year, the anti-thieves attacked Yanzhou, with more than 400 cavalry and thousands of foot soldiers. Zhu Dangshu led his attachés to climb the city tower, personally led the bow to shoot the thief, and without waiting for reinforcements from Jinan and Jining to come to the rescue, he himself beat the thief away.

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao was very happy, and ordered Zhu Dangshu to be rewarded at that time.

King Lu's family is relatively long-lived, and when it comes to the royal family, Zhu Dangshu is still the emperor's uncle!

Wang Yuan asked again, "What is Your Majesty's special will?" ”

Wen Xiang said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't believe it very much, and thinks that this matter is too ridiculous, so I asked Master Wang to find out the truth." ”

Wang Yuan said: "This is still Dali Temple, right?" ”

Wen Xiang replied: "Dali Temple Shaoqing Wang Chun and Jinyiwei command Han Duan, I am afraid that they have arrived in Jinan at this moment, and they plan to bring an army over. ”

"Nonsense!" Wang Yuan immediately ordered the speed of the ship to be accelerated.

Take a fast boat south to Jining, continue eastward, and arrive at Yanzhou Mansion in the afternoon of the same day.

Wang Yuan took a eunuch and more than a dozen brocade guards, and came directly to the door of the mansion and shouted, "Where is the Yanzhou prefect?" ”

Jin Yiwei's clothes are the signboard, and there is no need for Wang Yuan to show the documents, and Tong Xu, the prefect of Yanzhou, came out in a panic to greet him.

The prefect Tong Xu, who has been working in the household department before, naturally thinks that Wang Erlang is majestic. After seeing Wang Yuan, Tong Xu was surprised: "Master Wang, why did you come to Yanzhou?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "By Your Majesty's decree, investigate the rebellion of King Guishan. You also summon the officials to arrest quickly, cooperate with the Jinyi guards, and surround the Guishan Palace! ”

Tong Xu didn't dare to slack off, immediately gathered the officials of the palace city, and personally guided Wang Yuan to the palace.

Halfway through, Wang Yuan asked, "How does this Guishan King behave on weekdays?" ”

Tong Xu replied: "King Guishan is usually quite honest, and he doesn't oppress the people much, but he likes to dance with knives and sticks, and loves to make friends with folk warriors." ”

Wang Yuan asked again: "Do you think he will rebel?" ”

Tong Xu sorted out the wording and said: "This is really hard to say. Although he does not oppress the people, he may be accumulating fame and prestige, making friends with martial artists or soliciting guests. ”

Wang Yuan asked again: "What about King Lu?" This time he personally denounced his son. ”

Tong Xu suddenly became angry: "King Lu can't live in the depths, and it's rare to see each other in ordinary times." But his cronies are arrogant and domineering, making this Yanzhou Mansion restless! ”

The contemporary King Lu is very cowardly, since decades ago, the multi-person movement in the Lu Wangfu was reported, and the King of Lu has since stopped. He stayed in the palace all day and didn't go out, and he didn't know what he was doing. But the more he doesn't ask about the world, the more his henchmen are cared for, and he does a lot of messy things.

As for King Guishan, the youngest son of King Naru.

According to the Ming system, whether it is a prince, a county king, or a prince, they can only enjoy nominal fiefs. They could not govern the people of the fiefdom, nor were they allowed to own the fiefdom, after Zhu Dangshu was named the king of the county, he still lived in Yanzhou City, living on the age of 2,000 stone (the prince's year was 10,000 stones).

How did the land of the prince of the Ming Dynasty come from?

It's all rewarded by the emperor!

It's still the routine of asking Tian: Wow, Your Majesty, there is a large wasteland there, what a pity not to grow food. Please give me the wasteland, Your Majesty, and I will definitely send someone to cultivate it.

Historically, King Fu, who was caught by Li Zicheng in stewed soup, owned countless fields under his name. Most of these fields were given by Emperor Wanli, who wanted to pass on the throne to King Fu, so he gambled with the minister for decades and did not go to court. However, the primogeniture inheritance system could not be changed, so he gave King Fu various rewards, coupled with the encroachment of King Fu's family for generations, and finally became the same as at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

……

"Lord Wang, it's not good!"

A royal eunuch hurriedly rushed into the martial arts arena.

The eunuchs were very widespread in the Yuan Dynasty, and even the local heroes and powerful people raised eunuchs on a large scale. Most of them are from the palace, and they can't enter the palace to serve the emperor, so they take the initiative to take refuge in the local wealthy families.

Zhu Yuanzhang promulgated a ban on castration, one is to completely abolish the punishment of castration, and the other is to prohibit private castration as slaves.

But the noble class can have eunuchs, Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Qizhen, the brothers, also castrated the number of castrations available to the nobles.

However, only eunuchs in the palace and palace can be called eunuchs and eunuchs (at first, they could not be called eunuchs, and eunuchs were still honorific titles at that time).

The eunuch shouted as he rolled into the martial arts arena and lay down: "Lord Wang, it's not good, the Jinyi guard has surrounded the palace!" ”

"Why did the Jinyi Guard besiege the palace?" Zhu Dangshu put the knife into the sheath, and he didn't know that he was sold by his father.

The eunuch cried with a sad face: "I don't know! ”

Zhu Dangshu hurriedly took someone out to check the situation, and when he was halfway there, he met Wang Yuan.

Zhu Dangshu arched his hand and asked, "I don't know the name of Qinchazun?" ”

Wang Yuan also saluted: "Wang Yuan, a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy." ”

Zhu Dangshu was very happy: "It turned out to be Wang Erlang, who beheaded Liu Liu and Liu Qi, who had admired his name for a long time, and had long been looking forward to seeing him in person." Mr. Wang, please come in! ”

Wang Yuan said to Wen Xiang: "You can come on." ”

The eunuch immediately said: "King Guishan, I am waiting for this trip on the orders of His Majesty to investigate the prince's rebellion. ”

"Rebellion?"

Zhu Dangjun was confused, and then shocked: "You mean, I want to rebel?" It's ridiculous, I'm a county king, and I don't even have a palace guard, so what can I do to rebel? ”

Wen Xiang asked: "Then why do you save your reputation and prestige and save your customers?" ”

"Where am I going to store my fame?" Zhu Dangshu was so depressed that he couldn't do it, "Do I want to kill the people and fish and meat in the township, so that I don't count as raising hope?" This lieutenant, I am really not a good person, and I have also encroached on the people's land, but I don't occupy as much as your brothers. If you don't believe you can investigate, I will never be a virtuous king who is famous and famous. ”

Wang Yuan couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that being a virtuous king was also a sin.

Wen Xiang asked, "What about the private guest?" Where are Yuan Zhen and Zhao Yan? ”

Yuan Zhen and Zhao Yan are both martial artists, and they are also the guests of the palace who were reported in this rebellion.

Zhu Dangshu immediately called the two of them over and explained: "Zhao Yan is a subordinate official of the Guishan Palace, and Yuan Zhen is just an ordinary martial artist from a military family, what kind of guest are they?" Even if this is a doorman, should I take the two of them to rebel? ”

Wang Yuan and Wen Xiang glanced at each other, and they both felt that this rebellion was purely a false accusation.

Just like Zhu Dangshu himself said, he didn't even have palace guards, did he take his subordinates and domestic slaves to rebel?

This is still possible in remote areas, but in Shandong it is pure nonsense.

Shandong is rampant because of anti-thieves, and there are a large number of soldiers stationed in Jining, and there is also a deputy envoy of Shandong military garrison. Once Zhu Dangshu rebelled in Yanzhou, the deputy envoy of Shandong immediately transferred troops, and he took a boat to kill the city in half a day!

Wang Yuan sighed and said, "Lord Wang, the contemptible emperor is in his body, no matter what, he must search the palace." ”

Zhu Dangshu said helplessly: "You can search it." ”

Wang Yuan reminded: "If you have anything to do with the armor, you can hand it over yourself." ”

Zhu Dangshu's face turned pale instantly, and sweat broke out on his forehead and said, "This...... There are indeed six pairs of armor in my house, but they are not deliberately rebelling, but I love military affairs, and these armors are used for collection and entertainment. ”

"You're confused!" Wang Yuan reproached.

It's good to say that there are swords and weapons in the palace, even if it is a strong bow and crossbow, it doesn't matter, but the armor is a forbidden thing, and there are as many as six fucking pairs.

Wen Xiang reminded: "Search out the prohibited items first, and when Wang Shaoqing and Commander Han come, let's start trying the case." ”
