"The desert scenery is really extraordinary, such a peaceful and peaceful scene, the Central Plains is rare."

"That's, that's, our young leader is in control, and the Quartet has come to vote, and now it's getting stronger and stronger. Come, messenger, please go this way, there is the great tent of the young chief. ”

The messenger nodded, and followed Matham's guard, Tutuha, slowly.

The curtain of the big tent was gently raised, and the envoy of the Ming Dynasty walked in slowly, looked at the head of Mahamu, and was a little surprised by Mahamu's youth, but did not show it, but bowed down and saluted: "Poor monk Fa Neng, I have seen the young leader." ”

Ma Hamu was a little surprised, and asked tentatively, "Master? Are you an emissary of the Ming Dynasty? ”

"Exactly." The messenger folded his hands together solemnly and said in a deep voice.

......

When the undercurrent in Beiping was surging, Zhu Yunwen was busy expanding martial arts, convening instructors, and he divided the class into primary class, intermediate class and advanced version, the primary class is mainly about to be promoted to 100 households, and after graduation, they will be promoted to deputy thousand households, 1000 households, etc.; The intermediate class is for thousands of households, and after graduation, they will be promoted to commanding servants, commanding fellow knowledge, or commanding envoys; The advanced version is for commanders, and after graduation, they will be promoted to all commanders, commanders, and commanders.

Zhu Yunwen stipulated that all officers to be promoted must go to martial arts for more than half a year to study and accept a variety of subjects, such as strategy, tactics, diplomacy, geography, marching, parade, firearms, cavalry, and so on. In the end, it took three months to complete the first draft.

In practice, Zhu Yunwen found that tactics, queues, marches, firearms, and cavalry were quickly completed, and these old generals were almost all exported, but they knew very little about diplomacy and geography, and very few people knew about the geography of remote areas.

After March, Wuxue began a new batch of enrollment, the first batch of students were all from the upper fifteen guards, two hundred people in the junior class, twenty people in the intermediate class, and only five people in the advanced version.

There was originally a group of students in Wuxue, and they still maintained the original teaching method, but they were allowed to audit the courses of the corresponding level, and it was expected that the teaching of the fifteenth guard would end in September. In this way, the next martial arts enrollment will start in September, and the school time of the future generations will gradually approach.

In the end, Zhu Yunwen appointed Zhuo Jing as the martial arts sacrificial wine, and promoted the martial arts sacrificial wine to the four products.

At the same time, Zhu Yunwen appointed Fang Xiaoru as the Guozi Priest Wine, and also promoted the Guozi Priest Wine from the fourth grade to the fourth grade. And added geography, economics and other courses in Guozijian, and at the same time asked Tan Bo, the household servant, to open a new arithmetic course in Guozijian to promote Arabic numerals, but Tan Bo and others did not like this name and called it "Jianwen Numbers", Zhu Yunwen couldn't think of a better name for a while, so he had to let it go.

On the third day of the fourth month, Qianqing Palace.

When Zhu Yunwen was dealing with the fold, Liu Sanwu walked up with a fold and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, please take a look at this first." ”

Well? Looking at Liu Sanwu's cautious and solemn eyes, Zhu Yunwen took it and looked at it, and after reading it, he closed the song and thought about it, and did not express his position, but called Liu Zhen to come over, and retired all the eunuchs and palace maids, and then let Wang Du, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, Xie Jin and others pass it on.

After the fold was transmitted, Zhu Yunwen put the fold on the table, and tapped the table with his right index finger, but did not speak. Because the emperor's attitude was unknown, everyone remained silent, and in the main hall, except for the sound of the emperor knocking on the table, there was only the heavy panting of some people.

After a long while, Huang Zicheng broke the silence, walked out, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the second son of King Zhou reported his father for rebellion, and the minister thought that he should not be neglected, and he should be questioned in time to prevent accidents." ”

"Well, what else?"

Liu Sanwu shook his head, walked up and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Huang's words are inappropriate, now that King Zhou is far away in Daning, how can he rebel?" The emperor must not dispose of the vassal king because of one-sided words, which hurts the emperor's benevolence and filial piety. ”

"Well, what else?"

For a while, everyone spoke a lot, Wang Du advocated prudence, Qi Tai advocated immediate action, and Xie Jin felt that he should check the truth before doing it.

Zhu Yunwen thought for a while, pointed at Qi Tai and said, "Qi Shangshu will give a detailed introduction to the situation of Zhou Fan, and then consider the next step when he understands it thoroughly." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qi Tai received the order, and then said: "King Zhou is the fifth son of the first emperor, now Chinese New Year's Eve seven years old, Hongwu fourteen years, that is, when he was twenty years old, he opened the domain. ”

"Her concubine is the eldest daughter of Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, who is the only living founding duke and now lives in Fengyang."

"In the twenty-second year of Hongwu, the king of Zhou left the fief without authorization and went to Fengyang to see the Duke of Song, and was ordered by the first emperor to move to Yunnan.

"During King Zhou's stay in Beijing, Kaifeng affairs were handled by the prince Zhu Youzhu."

"In the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu, because King Ning was moved to Yunnan, King Zhou was ordered by the first emperor to be stationed in Daning and command the Daning army."

"However, although the king of Zhou went north to Daning, because the imperial court did not order him to move the domain, the prince and the princess are still in Kaifeng, and Kaifeng still has his left guard, and the Kaifeng domain is still handled by the prince Zhu Youstew."

After listening to Qi Tai, everyone had an intuitive understanding of Zhou Fan's situation.

Zhu Yunwen raised his head and thought about it, he remembered that King Zhou was indeed the first to be dealt with, from the distance, he belonged to the vassal king who was relatively close to Nanjing, could it be that the method of cutting the feudal domain in his previous life was to blossom in all directions, from near to far? Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help laughing, looked at everyone and said, "If this Zhu Youjiao's accusation is true, how should the imperial court respond?" ”

Huang Zicheng bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court should order the King of Zhou to return to Kaifeng, and then order the Henan Metropolitan to command Qu Neng to arrest the King of Zhou at the crossing of the Yellow River and escort him to Beijing for interrogation." ”

"Well, what about other people's opinions?"

"You can order Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi to directly arrest King Zhou." "The emperor can directly order the king of Zhou to come to the court, and then dispose of it." "No, if King Zhou has a rebellion, he will startle the snake."

Looking at everyone's reactions, Zhu Yunwen asked the next question: "If what is told is true, in what way will King Zhou rebel?" Raising troops? Stabbing driver? Or something else? ”

This question made everyone stunned, yes, in what way would King Zhou rebel? Rebellion? Although the Henan army is also considered elite, the king of Zhou does not often lead the troops to fight, and his prestige in the army is not high, and now the commander is Qu Neng, the emperor's confidant, and it is unlikely that the king of Zhou will succeed in rebelling. Stabbing driver? It doesn't seem to work, the emperor is dead, and it won't be his turn to succeed to the throne.

When Zhu Yunwen asked, everyone felt that King Zhou did not seem to rebel.

"So, who knows about this Zhu Youjiao's situation?"

The crowd looked at each other and shook their heads.

Zhu Yunwen also shook his head when he saw everyone's reactions, and then said, "Since there are doubts about this matter, it will be put on hold for the time being, and it will be dealt with after verification." ”

"In addition, the commander of Henan, Qu Neng, should pay close attention to the situation of the Henan garrison, and adjust the officers at the command level, and the situation in Henan should be reported every ten days and reported to the military department and the governor's office of the five armies."

Xie Jin's pen was like flying, and he quickly drafted the holy decree, Zhu Yunwen looked at it, and ordered it to be sent.

Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said, "A few days ago, Ru Chang, the political envoy of Beiping, and Song Zhongyu, the capital secretary, told Uncle Yan that he was sick in bed, and Uncle Jin Wang has been sick for more than a year, and I plan to send someone to visit the two uncles, what do you think?" ”

"The emperor is merciful."

"Okay, it's decided, the Ministry of Rites sent people to Beiping and Taiyuan to visit the condition of the two uncles, and in addition, the two senior and highly skilled doctors from the Tai Hospital will carefully regulate the two uncles, and I hope that the two uncles can recover as soon as possible."

"In addition, I will send Qin to Datong to visit Uncle Daiwang, and give Daiwang some books and precious medicinal materials, hoping that he can take care of his body and read more."

"Then send Qin to Daning, visit King Zhou on behalf of me, ask about the border situation in the north and Uncle Wang's thoughts, and also consult the Marquis of Dingyuan, whether you still need Uncle Wang to guard the border, if not, let Uncle Wang go back to Kaifeng."

"I also want to send someone to Fengyang to see Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, and say that I miss him very much, and ask him to take good care of his body. In addition, the prefect of Fengyang was ordered to visit him day and night, and if Song Guogong had any requests, he must report to the court in time. ”

Several holy decrees were sent to the Ministry of Rites, and after the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War discussed, they immediately sent messengers to all directions.

After everyone left, Zhu Yunwen recalled it and felt a little strange, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng were very anxious, why? And what kind of person is this Zhu Youjiao? Zhu Yunwen summoned Liu Zhen and asked him to send someone to Jinyiwei to summon Fusi Zhenfu Feng Xingjian from Beizhen to Qianqing Palace.

After Jin Yiwei was transferred from Song Zhong, Zhu Yunwen did not set up a new commander, and Jin Yiwei currently has no acquaintances and affairs, and the highest leader is Feng Xingjian, the envoy of Beizhen.

After a short time, Feng Xingjian came and knelt down in front of Zhu Yunwen to salute, but Zhu Yunwen did not immediately let him get up, this was what Zhu Yuanzhang told him, and he had to be strict with these people in Jinyiwei, otherwise they would be easy to be pampered and arrogant.

After a while, the silent pressure made Feng Xingjian a little confused, and even trembled, Zhu Yunwen threw a piece of music in front of him and said, "Look at it, what kind of person is this Zhu Youjian?" ”

Feng Xingjian picked up the fold and looked at the contents, and couldn't help but feel a sudden in his heart, but he quickly reacted: "Your Majesty, this Zhu Youjian will know something, he bullies men and women in Kaifeng City on weekdays, steals chickens and dogs, and doesn't like to read, he is a standard gentleman, he once fought for women with other guests in a brothel, and killed people, but Zhou Wangfu lost some money and suppressed the matter." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Zhu Yunwen was furious: "There is such a thing, why didn't Jinyiwei report it?" Why didn't Henan's political envoys and envoys report it? ”

Feng Xingjian knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Jinyiwei only heard about this matter later, but at that time, the bitter master had already cremated the body, and the matter involved the Zhou Palace, the insider did not dare to say it, and Jinyiwei was helpless, so he had no choice but to do it." ”

Zhu Yunwen tapped his forehead with his fingers, pondered for a long time, and said: "Feng Xingjian, I order you to rush to Kaifeng in person to verify the situation of Zhu Youjiao's secret report, and also order the Kaifeng garrison to pay close attention to the situation of Zhou Wangfu." However, this matter is confidential and must not be divulged to anyone, and the conclusion is ultimately sent directly to me. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Feng Xingjian walked out of the palace, feeling cold all over, and when the wind blew, he couldn't help but shiver. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, wiped his face, and rode back to Beizhen Fusi. After arriving at his office, Feng Xingjian summoned his henchman Li Chuang, and said: "Select fifty subordinates who are shrewd and capable and good at keeping an eye on, and after half an hour, gather at the door and rush to Kaifeng, remember, all in civilian clothes." ”

"My lord, what's wrong?"

"Don't ask, Zhu Youjiao's secret report was sent to the emperor, but the emperor didn't believe it and asked me to go to Kaifeng to verify it."

"Check? That's all true, not false accusations. ”

"Don't talk about it, let's talk about it on the road."

"Okay, big brother, listen to you."
