Because of the Jinyi Wei who accompanied the court to hear the trial, the Yamen of the Criminal Department naturally did not dare to show mercy to Yan Fang and other officials in the interrogation of the officials, and soon sent a cadre of criminals to Yunnan, Guizhou, Southwest and other bitter cold places according to the size of the crime, as for their family property, it was completely confiscated by the imperial court, and even the immediate family members were implicated.

After seeing these officials who were not low in status in the past fall one by one, the officials in the capital were vigilant and also had a new understanding of Jinyiwei. I thought that the silence of the past few years had made it difficult for Jinyiwei to recover, but now I know that the power of Jinyiwei has always been there, but it is just missing a chance. It seems that the next day will be very difficult for everyone.

From this case, a deeply disturbing conclusion is fully reflected, it turns out that there have been Jinyi secret agents around him all the time watching, and what they thought they had done unconsciously in the past may have been recorded by them long ago, just waiting for an appropriate moment to suddenly give themselves a fatal blow.

This feeling was too terrible for the courtiers, especially the officials who had done something unconscionable. This is completely like a man's back, it seems that there are always a pair of ill-intentioned eyes staring at him on the top of his head, and he may be condemned for a trivial matter at any time.

So, in the following period, many officials either directly Chen Chen, or side knocks to the Son of Heaven, hoping that he can distinguish between right and wrong, and do not reuse an institution full of villains like Jinyiwei, otherwise it will only make the people panic, and it will only be the Ming court that will suffer.

In fact, in addition to selfishness, their remarks are also reasonable. After all, the rule of spies only makes people uneasy and frightened, but it does not necessarily make people reform. In particular, there are many unscrupulous people within the Jinyi Guard, and if they are allowed to have too much power, their harm will only be worse than that of those corrupt officials.

Even Lu Jin, the big leader of Jinyiwei, also agrees with this statement. So when someone at the bottom learned about the matter and reported it to him and wanted to fight back, he refused. Because in his opinion, Jinyiwei is just a deterrent, but he can't really be involved in court disputes as before.

However, at this time, no matter what the courtiers' attitude towards Jinyiwei was, and how many times they played this matter, the emperor had no intention of dealing with it. Because the prince's condition is getting more and more serious, the national hand of Mantai Hospital can't make his condition better, so that the Son of Heaven can't take care of other things.

It's a tragedy. Zhu Jianji was just named the crown prince this year, but he didn't expect that in less than half a year, he would be difficult to get up, and it was even very likely that he would die on this occasion, which really made the Son of Heaven worry and panic.

Because Zhu Qiyu's heirs are difficult, he has such a son until now. If he really has a case, the position of the crown prince will be vacant again, and the courtiers will inevitably put forward a proposal to re-establish Zhu Jianshen as the prince, which is something that the emperor cannot accept.

In addition, Zhu Qiyu is also worried that there will be more unfavorable statements outside. For example, it is believed that Zhu Jianji suddenly became seriously ill because he did not have the imperial personality, but he was forced to be the crown prince. Since he couldn't bear such a valuable identity, his fate was naturally premature.

Even sometimes the emperor himself will unconsciously give birth to such a thought, for the sake of his son's safety, he has thought about whether he should set up another crown prince. But the thought was only for a moment, and it was quickly removed from his mind. If he really did this, where was his prestige as the Son of Heaven, and didn't he take advantage of the will of some people?

Of course, in Lu Jin's view, Zhu Jianji's illness actually has a scientific explanation - he was originally weak, and after being canonized as the crown prince, because the emperor had high hopes for him, the daily schoolwork was much heavier than before. Under the pressure of such a period of time, the young prince was naturally overwhelmed and finally fell ill.

It's a pity that this kind of scientific explanation of later generations does not have much market in this era, even if Lu Zhen also told the Son of Heaven, the other party did not take it to heart. What he could do was to continue to let the medical officers of the Tai Hospital use medicine, and on the other hand, he began to pray to God and Buddha, hoping that the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty and the gods and Buddhas in the sky could bless his son through this catastrophe.

I don't know if his actions really touched the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and by the end of October, the prince's condition had finally improved. Although people can't get out of bed yet, their minds are finally clearer.

In view of this, in order to express his gratitude to the heavens, the Son of Heaven decided to go to Tanzhe Temple in November to make incense and make vows. When the news came out, although the officials had some discussions, they did not object, after all, this was a family matter of the Son of Heaven, and it was not something that these courtiers could put their beaks at will.

It's just that in this way, it has suffered the major security agencies in Beijing, from Shuntianfu to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and even Jinyiwei, all began to strictly control the security of the capital after receiving this will, and it is necessary to ensure the peace of Beijing during this period of time, and not let the Son of Heaven leave the palace even the slightest mistake.

On the Jinyi guard's side, after knowing this, he stopped his daily exercises, and then sent Ti cavalry to patrol the city for twelve hours every day. As long as there is any suspicious person, he will take him down on the spot, and there is no interrogation at all.

In just four or five days, no less than 100 suspicious people have been arrested and put in prison, and they will not be released for the time being.

At night, the Jinyiwei sent a team of more than 100 people to patrol the main streets, as long as anyone who did not wear the relevant waist badge or certificate was wandering outside, then no matter what their identity was, they would be directly taken down by the Jinyiwei and sent to the imperial prison for strict interrogation.

In fact, not only Jinyiwei here, but also several other yamen are generally nervous and solemn, for fear of making a little omission, so as to make themselves a big deal.

As a result, in November, the city of Beijing, which was still quite lively, suddenly became deserted, especially after the night curfew began, and there were almost no people on the streets except for those patrolling the streets. This also greatly affected the business of related entertainment venues such as the Jiaofang Division, but under this general trend, these people did not dare to object, so they had to endure it, hoping that such days would pass as soon as possible, and the Son of Heaven would be able to enter the incense earlier.

@@@@@

On the third day of the first day of November, the time of the child. Beijing Nancheng.

It's winter in the city of Beijing, especially in the middle of the night, even if there is no rain or snow, the weather is so cold that people shiver, just want to hide in the home with a stove or ondol.

However, in officialdom, there are many things that cannot be done as people want, even in this weather, such a late night, the errand that should be done still has to be done, and the night patrol cannot be stopped.

A group of more than a dozen brocade guards lit torches and lanterns and walked slowly through the silent streets, vigilantly observing the surroundings to see if there were any transgressors such as carriages hiding in the dark.

Just two days ago, they found a carriage hidden in an alley in the east of the city, and as a result, they arrested several gentlemen who had come out to seek pleasure, which was a great achievement.

Today's leader is Zhao Jie, he is not too afraid of the cold, he still looks around with his chest up, but he has been patrolling for almost an hour, and there is no figure in sight, which makes people feel a little bored.

At this time, a subordinate couldn't help but open his mouth: "Zhao Baihu, do you think that there will be that blind guy in the capital who dares to violate the curfew now?" In the past few days, many people have been arrested by us because of this. Even if it doesn't fall into our hands, it will be taken by the people of Shuntianfu and the Terracotta Division, and there will be no good fruit to eat. ”

"Yes, Zhao Baihu, in fact, the little ones thought that those people were already obedient now, so how could they violate the curfew again? Let's go back sooner, it's a cold day, and the brothers can't stand it anymore. Another subordinate chimed in.

Zhao Jie frowned slightly, and reproached: "Since we have a destiny and should do our best, how can we be lazy?" Even if no one in the capital dares to break the ban anymore, we should do our errands well, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, it is always not wrong to be careful. ”

Seeing that his face sank, the few guys who wanted to hide had to shut up stupidly. There's no way, now the orders in the brocade guard are much stricter than before, if people really find out that they are lazy, the end will be very bad, and it is possible to lose the errand.

As they spoke, several people had turned a street corner, and then everyone was stunned - they saw a figure staggering forward on the street ahead, as if they were drunk.

This is too rare, they have not met a single person on patrol tonight, except for two groups of night patrol teams from other yamen. After being stunned for a moment, a few people shouted: "What person? Dare to violate the curfew, but is there a night waist card? As he spoke, he rushed up.

According to the general situation, if someone violates the curfew and is found out by the brocade guard, he will either run away with a weak heart, or he will be arrested, but the reaction of this person is completely different, he actually continued to stagger forward as if he didn't notice anyone in front of him and didn't hear the shouting.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Jie's brows furrowed, could it be that this guy was so drunk, or was there something else?

Just as he was about to open his mouth to tell his men to be careful, the man suddenly paused, let out a terrible scream in his throat, and rushed over.

This time, it really surprised everyone, and several brocade guards drew their sabers with their backhands, wanting to fight. But before the person arrived, an even more shocking scene appeared, the person's body suddenly burned, and the whole person became a fireball, screaming and pounced on the brocade guards who had already froze......
