Chapter 240: Clues and Closures
The capital, the Jinyi Guard Yamen. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Qin Song pulled his head out of the manuscripts on the table, then stood up again, asked the guards to bring a basin of water, and washed his face.
Jinyiwei's work is really hard to do. In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang carried out a large-scale dismissal of Jinyiwei, and a considerable number of people were executed; After Hongwu got rid of Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and others in the 29th year, Zhu Yuanzhang reduced the personnel of Jinyiwei for the second time.
Zhu Yuanzhang's behavior of 'the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook' prevents the Jinyiwei from expanding into an organization similar to the Cheka, and the purge and exchange of commanders also avoids the emergence of people like Beria. Yun Xi can succeed to the throne and smoothly let his people take over the Jinyi Guard.
But this also caused a serious reduction in the strength of Jinyiwei. After Yun Xi ascended the throne, Qin Song began to expand the Jinyi Guard again, but Yun Xi told him that he must not recruit a bunch of scum to come in, and the sergeants of the general guard station were not willing to come to the Jinyi Guard, resulting in a slow expansion.
Not only is there a small number of people, but Jinyiwei now has no power to arrest people, and Yun Xi asked to pay attention to concealment and not expose it to the eyes of hundreds of officials and people, which makes the work very slow.
Qin Song rested for a while, sighed, and could only continue to work.
At this time, a Qin Song who was transferred from Jinwu's right guard to serve as a thousand households named Jili walked in and said, "Commander, Lord Envoy." ”
Qin Song raised his head and said, "Ji Li, has you explored the origin of the son of Zheng Guogong in the Zheng Guogong Mansion?" "He was the man he had sent to investigate the matter.
He Li presented the document and said, "Yes, my lord, I have eyebrows." ”
"We did trace them back to Anqing at the beginning. But when our people came to Anqing Mansion to continue their investigation, and contacted the local Jinyi Wei who was lurking in the area, they found that they came from Chizhou Mansion opposite Anqing. ”
"We chased them to Chizhou Mansion again and found that they were coming from the east. I asked Zhou Wei to take someone to continue the investigation, and I returned to the capital to report first. ”
Qin Song asked Jili to sit down, and then said, "Since this is the case, then is the Zheng Guo Mansion lying?" Blindly made up a descendant of the former Zheng Guogong? ”
"But if this is true, how good is this for the Zheng Guo Mansion? If you want to find someone to sacrifice to the first Zheng Guogong, wouldn't it be good to have a child under the name of the first Zheng Guogong? Doesn't make sense? Qin Song, who didn't know the truth, couldn't deduce a reasonable explanation at all.
Ji Li said: "My lord, in my opinion, most of the Zheng Guogong Mansion was deceived. ”
Qin Song thought about it for a while, and also felt that Ji Li's words made sense, and said: "Then investigate it carefully, and I will report to Your Majesty when I have some real talents." Anyway, since it is in the east of Chizhou Mansion, it is in the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so it is easy to check. ”
Jili said, "Yes, my lord." ”
After listening to Jili's words, Qin Song was already ready to deal with other things, but when he saw that Jili hadn't left, he asked, "What else do you have to do?" ”
Ji Li said: "My lord, when I was investigating the affairs of Zheng Guogong's mansion, I found out a little other thing by the way, and now I want to report it to my lord." ”
Qin Song said, "What's the matter?" ”
Ji Li said: "I found out that in the place where the officials in the southeast of the capital are all there, Pan Ren in the Ministry of Officials Examination Gong Lang has a mansion in addition to the mansion where he and his wife live now. ”
Qin Song knew that if it was an ordinary outer house, Ji Li would not say anything to him, so he quietly waited for his next step.
Ji Li continued: "I checked this mansion by the way, and it turned out that there was no outer room of Pan Ren in the house, and he did not have an outer room. ”
Qin Song said suspiciously: "Oh, then what did he do with such a mansion?" ”
Ji Li continued: "Because I mainly investigated the affairs of the Zheng Guo Mansion, I didn't investigate carefully. However, I found out that Liu Chuan, the imperial historian who wrote to His Majesty a few days ago to ask for the reduction and exemption of the Tianfu of the five prefectures of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, lives nearby, and Pan Ren is also from Suzhou, and the two of them also had some friendship before. ”
"I also investigated and learned that someone had seen someone coming out of Liu Chuan's mansion, and it seemed that they had entered Pan Ren's mansion."
Qin Song understood what Ji Li was going to say: "He is saying that Pan Ren is the one who instigated Liu Chuan to write a book. ’
Qin Song immediately paid attention to this matter. The mere fact that Liu Chuan wrote is nothing, but if someone else instructed it, the nature would be different.
If the speculation is true, then in addition to Liu Chuan, who has been demoted to the sandbank, and Pan Ren, who has been discovered, maybe there are other people involved, and now all the officials of the five provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the DPRK and China are suspected, and maybe there are other places.
Qin Song said solemnly: "You go down, I'll go back and arrange for someone to investigate this matter." Seeing that Qin Song had taken this matter seriously, he retreated.
Qin Song immediately called in a guard and ordered, "Please come over to Cui Mingjun, a thousand households!" ”
After a while, Cui Mingjun came in and said, "My lord called me? ”
Qin Song said: "Cui Qianhu, there is something to be handed over to you now. Check the person Pan Ren in the examination of the Ministry of Officials. ”
Cui Mingjun's father was a sergeant of Jinyiwei; After his father's death, his son inherited his father's business and entered the Jinyi Guard.
Cui Mingjun is very good at handling cases, he was still young when he investigated Li Shanchang, but he lived alone and made great contributions, and even Zhu Yuanzhang praised him after hearing about it.
Perhaps because Zhu Yuanzhang praised him, he was not purged. Now, when most of the Jinyiwei who had rich experience in investigating cases were executed, he is one of the few people in Jinyiwei who knows how to investigate.
Cui Mingjun didn't ask anything, and said directly: "Yes, my lord." ”
Qin Song instructed again: "No matter what is about this Pan Ren, you must carefully investigate it, and report it all to me, so as not to miss a single thing." ”
Cui Mingjun still said the same as just now: "Yes, my lord." Then he saw that Qin Song had no other instructions, and turned around and retreated.
Qin Song sat on the chair and thought for a moment, feeling that the matter of the Zheng Guogong Mansion could be concealed for the time being, anyway, since the Chang family had officially included Chang Jifeng in the family tree and informed the imperial court in the form of a formal letter, the impact of this matter had already been caused, so it was no big difference if he knew it early or knew it later.
But things are different about Pan Ren. If Yun-hee doesn't know, he may make some wrong decisions.
Qin Song, who had already thought about it, said that he would do it, and immediately set off to the palace.
===================================================
In the Qianqing Palace, the four auxiliary officials and Zhuo Jing were dealing with the excerpts, and the people in the middle school were dealing with some other things at any time. But Yun Xi didn't deal with the excerpts, he was looking at the "Three Character Classic", or rather, he was preparing for class.
Yun Xi in this life doesn't like to study much, and he memorized the "Three Character Classic" at that time, but now he has long forgotten most of its content.
As for Yunxi in the previous life, although he memorized his favorite ancient texts such as "The Teacher's Table", he didn't remember most of the content of the "Three Character Classic".
Therefore, before Yun Xi taught the four children the "Three Character Classic", he had to review it first, and at the same time spend time preparing for the lesson, and then he could teach the four little ones.
At this time, Xie Jin walked into the Qianqing Palace and said a few words to Chen Xingshan. Chen Xingshan listened to Xie Jin's words, stood up, and walked in front of Yun Xi with Xie Jin.
Yun Xi was still muttering at the "Three Character Classic", not noticing that someone had walked only one step away from him.
Xie Jin was very curious about what Yun Xi was looking at, and wanted to take a few glances before talking to Yun Xi about things; But Chen Xingshan said directly: "Your Majesty." ”
Yun Xi subconsciously put together the "Three Character Sutra". After all, it's a bit embarrassing to be seen reviewing the "Three Character Classic".
Yun Xi asked, "What is the matter with you?" ”
Chen Xingshan said: "Your Majesty, now Xie Zhongshu is presiding over the compilation of the "Taizu Record", and there are some things to talk to Your Majesty. ”
Yun Xi said, "What's the matter? If you need any information, you don't have to tell me, just go to the History Museum or Hanlin Academy to get it. "The book that records the most confidential things, the book that Zhu Yuanzhang secretly wrote down was hidden by Yunxi in his own bedroom in the Qianqing Palace, and they couldn't find it. In addition, all the records about Zhu Yuanzhang can be shown to them casually.
At this time, Yun Xi suddenly thought of something and said, "Could it be ......?"
Xie Jin said: "Your Majesty should have guessed that it is the conclusion of Li Shanchang. ”
Li Shanchang, one of the six founding dukes of the Ming Dynasty and one of the most important heroes of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang once personally compared him to Xiao He.
But the environment in the early Han Dynasty was completely different from that in the early Ming Dynasty, and Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestors of the Han Dynasty, were also completely different, so Li Shanchang was not able to get a good death, and the whole family was killed except for Han Qi, the second son of the princess, who married the princess.
Chen Xingshan had already asked Han Shantong, Liu Futong, Chen Youliang, and Zhang Shicheng how to write comments before. At that time, Yun Xi thought about it for a long time, and finally decided: 'For Han Shantong, Liu Futong, and Chen Youliang, whatever Emperor Taizu said before his death, he will write it and not revise it. ’
But Zhang Shicheng is slightly different. Yun Xi knew that many of Zhang Shicheng's old troops were working as pirates, and Yun Xi wanted to recruit them, so he embellished Zhang Shicheng's comments.
But this time it was different for Li Shanchang. Hu Weiyong should be damned, most of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty agree with this; But most people think that Li Shanchang's sin is not to death, although they dare not say it.
Not only Li Shanchang, but also Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, Wang Bi, and some ministers with less influence, their posthumous comments are very important, and they must also think about it.
Yun Xi rubbed his head and thought: Why is there always such an annoying thing, could it be that God can't let him rest for a while?
