Section 19 Sapphire is arrested

Not only did Zhu Yuanzhang stay awake all night this night, but so did Lan Yu.

The Liangguo Mansion is located on the bank of the Qinhuai River, facing the street on both sides, including the martial arts arena inside, and also includes the residence of more than 200 Lan Yu fake sons, today Lan Yu has just finished training them and let them go to rest.

Back in the study, Wang Xing was already waiting for him, Lan Yu said happily: "Mr. Wang, I just trained the sons, and now everyone's morale is very high, in two days, let them go to the manor outside the city, and when the time comes, they will fight back and forth with the avant-garde of the government army, and the big thing can be done." ”

Wang Xing looked a little worried: "General, I said a long time ago, don't train in the mansion, or get all these people to the manor outside the city, if you do this, let those who have a heart see it, they will be suspicious." ”

Lan Yu disagreed, sat down and took a sip of water: "Mr. Wang, no, it's always been like this in my house, and it's been a little more frequent recently, no one will doubt it." And if it changes suddenly, it will cause people to be suspicious. ”

Wang Xing looked at Lan Yu's complacent expression, and couldn't help but wonder if he had chosen the wrong master, Lan Yu was decisive in killing on the battlefield, invincible, and with an order, even the generals and important ministers bowed down in front of him to listen to the order. But how did it become so careless when it came to such a thing as rebellion? Since listening to his own analysis and deciding to rebel, he has not listened to himself very much, and he told him to keep it secret, but he made a fuss, frequently feasted in the mansion, went back to his hometown to greet his relatives, and also went to recruit civil officials, saying that major events require civil officials to stabilize the situation. These things are not important in Wang Xing's opinion, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang is killed, relatives and civil officials will naturally stand on the side of Lan Yu.

Wang Xing thought about it for a while, and decided to say: "General, it's better to be cautious, Jinyiwei is not a vegetarian, and I recently feel that there seems to be someone watching outside the mansion, and the manor outside the city has also reported that there are thieves, at this sensitive time, I wonder if there is a mistake?" ”

Lan Yu was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and said: "It shouldn't be, General Ben only told a few people about the specific time and place, and the others just mentioned it, no one should know the details, and I am sure that the few people who know will not leak it out." ”

Wang Xing couldn't help but stand up and said: "General, as long as there is suspicion of such a rebellion, the emperor will not wait for verification, and if he doesn't make a sudden move, maybe Jinyiwei is outside the mansion now?" ”

Lan Yu slapped the table with a "snap": "Mr. Wang, don't be alarmist, Lao Tzu has been through a hundred battles, can't he fight a sick old man and a milky little kid?" ”

Wang Xing couldn't help but sigh, pushed the door out, looked at the bright moonlight outside, and felt that he was really sick, a good life, but why should he get involved in such a thing as rebellion, but unfortunately there is no turning back now, I can only count on God's blessing.

Although Lan Yu is full of confidence, Wang Xing's words still have some impact, making him toss and turn at night, unable to sleep, he is really a little scared, the rebellion is to Ling Chi and destroy the Nine Clans, alas, but if he doesn't fight hard, there is no way out.

The next day, since today was a big court meeting, before dawn, Lan Yu got up, asked the maid to help her dress neatly, and went out. Lan Yu likes to ride horses, every time she goes out, maybe it's a psychological effect, I feel that today's beloved horse is a little restless. Lan Yu rode on a horse, his heart was heavy, he looked up at the sky, the sky was still hanging in the sky, and there was still an hour to brighten, this Zhu Yuanzhang set the court meeting so early, and when I became the emperor, I must let everyone sleep well and then go to the court, it is estimated that at that time everyone will say "My emperor is wise", I can't help laughing after thinking about it.

After passing by the Founding Mansion, he couldn't help but stop and look, he hadn't come over for a long time. Although he thinks that he is unparalleled, if he didn't have Chang Yuchun, he wouldn't have been promoted so smoothly. However, since his sister passed away and Chang Mao was exiled, he rarely came over, and Chang Sheng saw that he was also lukewarm, and he didn't know why. After riding a horse for a while, I saw a group of people in front of me, vaguely Xu Huizu and Chang Sheng walking side by side, since the emperor and grandson, the two of them have come closer, so they don't dare to tell them about their big things, and I vaguely feel that these two people don't seem to look down on these rising dukes, and they don't look down on them, but they just rely on their fathers. But I have to admit that they are much better than their sons Lan Haoer and Lan Taiping.

When Lan Yu arrived at Duanmen, there were already many court officials waiting, both civil and military, but everyone was very quiet. As soon as Lan Yu came over, a group of generals surrounded him, shouting "General" one by one, Lan Yu was very happy, he liked to get along with the generals, free and easy, during which he saw some people, but he only showed his eyes, and did not say much. Lan Yu had been waiting outside, he didn't like to wait in the courtroom, but Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, and Chang Sheng, the Founding Duke, had already entered the courtroom and rested and waited there.

Zhu Yunwen got up very early today, and when Zhu Yuanzhang finished freshening up, they had breakfast together, Zhu Yuanzhang talked and laughed like no one, and joked that Zhu Yunwen slept like a pig.

Zhu Yunwen wanted to speak and stopped, and said, "Grandpa Huang, are you planning to take down the blue jade today?" ”

"Yes."

"What if it's wrong? What if Lan Yu hadn't rebelled? ”

"If you make a mistake, you will be arrested, and if you secretly possess military horses and ordnance, you will be guilty of complicity and rebellion." Zhu Yuanzhang said murderously: "You can kill him with this alone, not to mention that he still wants to assassinate him." ”

"If, I mean, what if, if Jiang Zhen framed Liang Guogong?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "Yun Wei, you are still so generous, I will teach you something today." What would happen if Lan Yu killed me? At the same time, he waved his hand and let everyone go down.

"Grandpa Huang, Yun Wei didn't mean that."

"Hehe, it's nothing, grandpa doesn't care."

"If that's the case, Daming is in danger, Yun Wei has no prestige, most of the troops are Lan Yu's old department, it is very likely that he can control the capital, if Yun Wei is a puppet, then Da Ming may go to the big trend."

"Yes, can you take such a risk as the country changing hands? And your uncles will definitely not be convinced, and they will inevitably send troops to the king, so the soldiers will be in trouble and the lives will be ruined. The people have just lived a good life for a few years, and they are going to suffer again. ”

Zhu Yunwen was speechless, yes, the risk is too great, can he take such a big risk? If you are soft-handed, you are not only the sinners of the Ming royal family, but also the sinners of the Ming people. Could it be that this is the Emperor's Mind Technique? Is it necessary to do this for the sake of stability?

"Grandpa Huang, what if you catch Lan Yu, but later find out that you were wronged, or kill Lan Yu, and later find out that it was an unjust case?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "Yun Wei, you have to learn how to be the emperor, this matter was reported by Jiang Xuan, if it is true, Jiang Zheng will make meritorious contributions; If it is fake, it will be punished and executed, and then Lan Yu can be rehabilitated Zhaoxue, as long as you are the emperor, the courtiers will only say that the emperor is wise. ”

Zhu Yunwen suddenly sympathized with Jiang Xuan: "Isn't Jiang Xuan a little wronged in this way?" ”

"What is wrong with him, I put him in this position to do this, if he doesn't want to do it, some people want to do it. And I was very kind to him, and I let go of some of his lawlessness, so what else was he dissatisfied with? ”

"Grandpa Huang, a Jiang Xuan is insignificant, but if Liang Guogong is wronged, do you still want to kill him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment and said: "If you want to kill, as long as you are caught, you can't let it go, otherwise even if you are wronged this time, it will be true next time." ”

"But the Duke of Liangguo has worked hard and made great achievements, if he dies unjustly, won't people say that the emperor's grandfather intends to kill the hero, which will smear the emperor's face after thousands of years."

"Yun Wei," Zhu Yuanzhang knocked on the table with a little hatred and said: "The founding emperors of all dynasties have done these things, although there are some white jade flaws, but compared with the dynastic inheritance, it is nothing at all. Just like Yue Fei of the Southern Song Dynasty was unjustly killed, would the Southern Song Dynasty perish? ”

Zhu Yunwen was silent, and he didn't have the heart to eat, Zhu Yuanzhang saw it in his eyes, and understood in his heart what his grandson was thinking, alas, this grandson is good at everything, but he has not yet realized the cruelty of imperial power, if everything is dealt with when there is evidence, then there will be few long-lived dynasties. Zhu Yuanzhang likes Yun Wei's generosity very much, but he also hopes that he can be ruthless at the critical moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not sit on the dragon chariot, but let Yun Wei help him slowly walk to the Fengtian Palace, and the ancestors and grandchildren were silent. The sky was a little bright, but Miyagi was still dark, and the surrounding eunuchs were carrying lanterns and shining on their ancestors. All the people didn't make a sound, there was silence far and near, Zhu Yunwen glanced around, and couldn't help but feel a chill, is this the cruelty of imperial power? Or is the supreme glory of imperial power necessarily accompanied by such cruelty? Did the imperial grandfather do it wrong? I don't dare to think so......

As the morning drum sounded, the left and right doors of the noon gate opened, and the guards and honor guards entered the procession first; The ministers waited for a while, the bell rang, the civil officials went to the left door, the military generals took the right door, and the two sides of the court hall were lined up in turn, waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to come out to the court. Lan Yu stood in front of the generals, looked around, and felt that there seemed to be more guards today, and most of them were fresh faces, Lan Yu sighed in his heart, could something happen?

After a while, the eunuch chief Fu shouted loudly: "The emperor and the imperial grandson have arrived, and hundreds of officials knelt down to greet them." ”

The hundred officials knelt down, Zhu Yuanzhang walked up to the dragon chair with the support of Zhu Yunwen, and after sitting down, it may be that the weather is a little cold, and he couldn't help coughing a few times. Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand, and Changfu shouted: "Flat." The hundred officials stood up and lined up on both sides. At the same time, the noon gate, the left and right gates, and the left and right doors were closed at the same time, and the doors were full of guards. At the same time, outside the noon gate, which is not visible to hundreds of officials, it is also full of brocade guards. The hundred officials glanced back in the Fengtian Hall and exchanged glances with each other, but they didn't dare to say anything, but some of the timid courtiers even began to tremble. Lan Yu's heart sank, it was over, Zhu Yuanzhang made the first move, and the battle-hardened general couldn't help but be a little flustered, sighed lightly, closed his eyes, and opened them after a while.

The hundred officials played in order, Zhu Yuanzhang could deal with it in the hall, and those who could not be dealt with immediately stayed in the middle, so that the corresponding personnel went to the Qianqing Palace in the afternoon to wait for the order, and the music was processed one by one, Zhu Yuanzhang's old voice resounded in the Fengtian Palace, and everyone slowly forgot that there were many guards behind them. Suddenly, Jin Yiwei commanded Jiang Zhen to come out of the military general class and stand in the center of the main hall: "The minister has a book, and the Liangguo Gong Lanyu is plotting rebellion!" ”

Jiang Xuan's voice instantly spread throughout the hall, and the people in the hall couldn't help but shudder, plotting rebellion? Liang Guogong conspired against him? Really, fake? Everyone's eyes immediately looked at the forefront of the generals, the most powerful military general in the Ming Dynasty---- Liangguo Gong Lanyu. Zhu Yuanzhang was the same, his knife-like eyes stared at Lan Yu's expression, Lan Yu was shocked, and quickly ran out and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, Jiang Zhen slandered the last general, the last general was brave and loyal, threw his head for the Ming Dynasty, spilled blood, and fought on the battlefield, the emperor gave the last general the title of duke, the last general was already satisfied, and he had no intention of rebellion, please let the emperor know." ”

There was a deathly silence in the hall, and some people sensitively felt that a storm was about to sweep the Ming Dynasty, and the top general of the army rebelled, which could not help but make people doubt the loyalty of the army, and if Jin Yiwei did not get evidence or hints, he would not dare to report such a level of military generals. This can't help but remind people of the Hu Weiyong case, since the thirteenth year of Hongwu, it has been thirteen years now, and there are still new clues coming out, and everyone is in danger. So what about the Liangguo public conspiracy against the case? How does it end?

For a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the kneeling Lan Yu for a long time, and said faintly: "The Duke of Liangguo has great achievements, I know." Jiang Xuan, you reported Liangguo Gong for rebellion, do you have real evidence? ”

"The minister has written a recital, please see it."

Changfu took the fold and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang opened it, looked at it slowly from beginning to end, and then handed it to Zhu Yunwen.

"Come on, take down Lan Yu, put it in Jinyi Wei Prison, and interrogate it strictly, with the imperial grandson presiding over the trial, and the official department Shangshu Zhan Wei assisting."

Jin Yiwei rushed over and grabbed Lan Yu, Lan Yu didn't resist, just shouted "Wronged, wronged!" "I was quickly taken down.

Zhu Yuanzhang swept the ministers again, and then passed the order: "Jinyiwei commanded Jiang Zhen to lead Jinyiwei to search for evidence of rebellion in the Liangguo Mansion. ”

"Jin Yiwei commanded Song Zhong, the commander of the Yulin Left Guard, to raid the manor of Liang Guogong outside the city, and if there was resistance, he would be killed."

"The soldiers and horses of the five cities, immediately block the city gate, allow entry but not exit, and patrol the main roads in the city, if there are suspicious characters to take it down on the spot, if there is resistance, kill it."

"Xu Huizu and Chang Sheng listened to the order, sat in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, without my order, all the troops in the Beijing Division were not allowed to mobilize a single soldier, if there was a violation, they would be killed, and the emperor's grandson would accompany Song Xuan to assist."

"Retreat."

Everyone was awe-inspiring and went to their own errands, but some of the civil and military generals had very ugly faces, but at this time, everyone didn't care about others, and those who didn't have errands hurried home, and those who had errands hurried to do it.

For a while, the chickens and dogs in the capital jumped, but under the strong bullet pressure, soon there were no pedestrians on the street, and everyone stayed at home and did not dare to go out.

Jinyiwei commanded Tongzhi Song Zhong and the soldiers of Yulin Zuowei to quickly leave Zhengyang Gate and rush out of the city.

The five armies were all governors, Xu Huizu and Chang Sheng quickly sent people to carry the holy decree and read it to all the pro-army, not allowing the pro-army to go out of the barracks for half a step, and sent Song Xuan to lead the Jinyi guard to monitor the front guard of the government army. After everything was done, the two of them sat down in the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, speechless for a long time.

"Brother Xu, did you say that Liang Guogong really rebelled?"

"I don't know, what the emperor asked us to do, we just did it according to the order, as long as it didn't go wrong."

"Brother Xu, do you know? Jiang Zhen said that the Duke of Liangguo rebelled, my cold sweat came out, Lan Yu is my uncle, when the emperor called my name, I thought I was going to be arrested, so I didn't shout 'wronged'. ”

"At present, the emperor does not suspect you and me, but I am afraid that Lan Yu will bite us out, have you had any dealings with Lan Yu recently?"

"No, we didn't have much contact with each other, recently I helped the imperial grandson study military chess deduction, day and night, how can we have kung fu and Lan Yu."

"That's good, as long as we are not involved in rebellion, we are also His Royal Highness Taisun's people, I don't think the emperor will be difficult for us."

"I hope so, alas, I really didn't expect such a thing to happen."
