In addition to the Shen family, a businessman who had funded Zhu Gaoxu in Yunnan, a number of civil and military officials who had worked in the Han Dynasty had just entered Beijing one after another at this time.

So Zhu Gaoxu prepared to seal the military ministers first, and then the harem. He summoned "Mr. Li", Hou Hai, and Qian Xun in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace to discuss the matter. How to knight has not been talked about yet, a few have talked about the name first.

"Mr. Li" believes that if he wants to be awarded the title of duke and earl, according to the ancestral system, he must have great merit to the court and be justified.

Therefore, the imperial court should call those knighted Xuanli military ministers "Fengtian Crime Push"; It is clear to the world and future generations that the merits of the military ministers come from the war of rebellion. Otherwise, they will have neither the founding of the country nor the merit of opening up the border, and their name will not be justified.

Qian Xun and Hou Hai both seconded.

Although the Ming Dynasty was founded forty years ago, there was the founding of the country, the auxiliary movement of the Cheng, Fengtianjing is difficult to push the sincerity, and now the Fengtian crime is added, which is a bit unstable; But Qi Tai also has a point, there must always be a reputation that can be put on the table and can be said out loud.

So Zhu Gaoxu agreed to this proposal.

After the resignation of several civil officials, Zhu Gaoxu continued to review the recitals. Greeting watches from farther away have been being sent to Beijing recently. He looked at the congratulatory watch for a while, and suddenly found a fresh recital: the recital of Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly looked at it with great interest.

Wu Gao said in the recital that his family was favored by Emperor Taizu and was determined to defend the Ming court; However, I didn't know that Donggong Yin was plotting before, aiding and abetting, and I knew that I was guilty. Holy punishment, no complaints. However, his son-in-law Geng Hao, who was young and ignorant, was used by the chaotic party Yuan Hui and was implicated and imprisoned. The criminal minister (Wu Gao) didn't want to pay attention to Geng Hao, but the little girl learned etiquette and didn't want to be a second husband; The sinner had no choice but to ask the saint to be gracious and forgive Geng Hao.

After Zhu Gaoxu finished reading the recital, a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He suddenly became a little interested in Wu Gao's family affairs...... Although Geng Hao is a small person, Zhu Gaoxu personally dealt with him when he was in Yunnan, and Mu Zhen also had a marriage contract with that Geng Hao.

Zhu Gaoxu thought about it, people like Xu Huizu, Wu Gao, Zhang Fu and others have recently been the key surveillance targets of Jinyiwei. Zhu Gaoxu took out a large stack of Jinyiwei's secret reports and rummaged through them to find the reports about the Hou family in Jiangyin.

Unexpectedly, Jin Yiwei really reported the matter of Wu Gao's family, and it was written in great detail!

In Jin Yiwei's recital, there is a slight discrepancy with Wu Gao's recital. Wu Gao's daughter was born with a weak mind, and she didn't understand the etiquette of "two husbands" at all; I'm afraid it's not his daughter who cares, but he himself? However, the Wu family is making noise every day in the mansion to see Geng Hao, which is a fact.

The Jinyi Guard Yamen also played, and the servants of the Geng family did go to Wu Gao's house to intercede, and they were all clearly detected by the Jinyi guards guarding the Wu family.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at Hou Xian, the eunuch who was paying attention to him, and said casually: "The Marquis of Jiangyin fights, it is quite stable. ”

Hou Xian hurriedly agreed: "The emperor has a good eye for people. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said that, then picked up the Zhu pen and wrote a word on Wu Gao's recital: Accurate.

…… There is a mass grave by the river, and the dilapidated grass hut on one of the hillsides adds to the desolation of the place.

There was not the slightest sign of inhabitation in the hut, but there was a man inside. It was a black-skinned offspring, dressed in a linen coat.

From time to time, he raised his head and looked out through the hole in the mud; Then he took a few stones and played with himself. He threw a stone in his hand upward, then quickly grabbed a few scattered stones from the ground, and finally caught the stone falling from the air.

Staying in this uninhabited place is really boring. However, the latter was glad that he did not keep vigil, and it was a bold old man who was on duty at night; The surrounding area is full of chaotic graves, and it is really brave that people dare to spend the night here.

The sun had already set, and the sky was getting darker. Hou Sheng suddenly felt that the wind around him was miserable, so he collected the stones and waited for the old man to come over.

He looked out again with some impatience, and suddenly saw a man in a robe coming with a wooden box! The man in the robe went to a tomb, crouched down, and began to lay things out; From a distance, the man seemed to be very young.

Hou Sheng was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't believe it, and looked at it again to determine the location of the tomb...... Because he has been keeping watch for so many days, he has never waited for the one who came to the grave! Later life has long thought in his heart that no one will come to this place.

His heart was immediately nervous and excited: If you catch someone, you will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan!

Hou Sheng hurriedly climbed out from behind the hut, and then slid from the back of the hill to the halfway point of the mountain, and he pulled out a white flag from his bosom and waved it vigorously towards the boat by the river.

The big ship anchored to the shore soon rushed out a group of stubborn soldiers. They led their horses up the hillside, their hooves wrapped in cloth and their beaks wrapped in sleeves, and they were swift and careful!

Dozens of people rushed to the hillside, and one of the generals asked, "See people?" ”

Housheng hurriedly nodded vigorously.

The military general handed the reins to the descendant and ordered: "Lead the horse, go around the woods on the north side, and call the brothers on the east side, and outflank them!" ”

The latter hugged his fists and said: "Order!" ”

The general asked in a deep voice, "Did he ride a horse?" ”

Hou Sheng said: "I came on foot, carrying a box." ”

The military general sneered and waved his hand: "Let's go!" ”

A large group of people led the horses and struggled to climb up the hill from a gentle place. Everyone knew where the tomb of "Yao Wang's" was, so they got on their horses and rushed over there. The military commander took the lead, kicking the horse's belly and leaping up from the wild grass.

In front of the mound, incense candles, paper money, and a few plates of tribute fruits were already lit. Standing next to him was an elegant young man in a robe, looking at the rushing cavalry with a panicked expression. He stood there, as if he had no intention of escaping, and the whole person was completely stunned!

The military general who took the lead took the lead in rushing to the shizi, waved his hand and threw a fishing net, which suddenly covered the shizi's body. The horse was still rushing forward, and with the speed of the horse, the man screamed, and the man was pulled down, and dragged on the ground for a long distance, and he cried out in pain.

The general reined in his horse, and a large group of cavalry also caught up, and everyone jumped off their horses and pressed down on the soldier.

"What are you doing......" The scholar shouted in horror, and before he could finish his sentence, a ball of cloth was immediately stuffed into his mouth. Then the sergeants were very skillful in tying him up with ropes.

A military man scolded: "It turns out that he is such a powerless person, there are so many of us, it is useless!" ”

Regardless of the interrogation, the group first gagged and forbade the scholar to speak, and then was taken away. The military general also ordered: "Clean up the neighborhood and don't leave any traces!" ”

Not long after, dozens of soldiers who were ambushed in a house in the east also arrived. So they took out a wagon from the house, stuffed the man into a sack of hemp, and put it in the wagon, and the army protected the wagon from side to side, and went to the city.

The gate of the capital has been closed, but a group of people have a letter signed by the Han King to guard the Beisi of the Imperial Mansion and the commander of the Jinyi Guard. The two generals went up in the hanging basket first, and checked the official documents of the seal letter for the guards and others; The city gate was temporarily opened, and the army rushed into the capital with the carriages.

…… Gao Xianning had already gone home from duty, he got the news, immediately changed his clothes, and followed the Beisi soldiers out on horseback.

They came to the old mansion of King Han, and when Gao Xianning entered the door, they saw Zhang Sheng, the commander of Jinyiwei, Du Erlang, the envoy of Beizhen, and Yao Fang, the chief banner, who arrived one step earlier. Gao Xianning asked, "Are people still there?" ”

Zhang Sheng said: "It's tied up in the inner house, it's good." ”

Gao Xianning said: "Irrelevant people, all go outside to guard." The four of us entered. ”

Several men hurried into the inner house, and they entered a side room and ordered the sergeant on guard to go out. I saw a young man who seemed to be less than twenty years old, sitting on a chair tightly strapped, and the young man still had a ball of cloth stuffed in his mouth!

Gao Xianning's brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately understood that this person must not be "Ma Gong"; That "Ma Gong" was responsible for the traitorous spy of Jianwen's henchmen in Beiping at least ten years ago, and now it can't be this age!

Yao Fang stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull out the thing in the young man's mouth.

"Who the are you?" Yao Fang asked first.

The young man's face turned pale and he looked at Yao Fang with wide eyes. After a while, Gao Xianning suddenly smelled an unpleasant smell, and Zhang Sheng and the others also smelled it, and several people frowned.

But I saw that the light gray robe of the young man who was tied became darker, and a puddle of water appeared on the brick floor of the ground.

The four people in the room looked at each other! I also saw that the young man was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, fine skin and tender flesh, and at first glance he was a man who lived a comfortable life, and he did not look like a villain who did sinister things at all!

For a while, Gao Xianning couldn't help muttering in his heart: You won't catch the wrong person?

Everyone was silent for a moment, and Zhang Sheng's voice said: "The last general asked General Chen (the military general in charge of arresting people), and I saw this person worship in front of Wang's grave, and put a lot of things. ”

The young man finally spoke and said in a trembling voice, "What Wang? He is under the hair of Xiao, surnamed Li. ”

Gao Xianning listened, and suddenly felt a little lost in his heart. Yao Fang was about to speak, but Gao Xianning stretched out his hand and stopped Yao Fang. Gao Xianning asked, "Then what is your name and where do you live?" ”

The young man was silent for a while before he spoke: "My name is Xiao Wencai, a person from Jiangxi, who is currently living in Jingshi, waiting for the Holy Lord to open Enke." ”

Gao Xianning said: "We are the people of Jinyiwei, you can't lie, deceive the generals of the Holy Guard, that's a big crime!" What are the methods of Jinyiwei, do you know? ”

The self-proclaimed Xiao Wencai is humanitarian: "I have a reputation under it, and I can find it." ”

The room fell silent again, and the spring night seemed very quiet.
