Chapter 221: Jane in the Emperor's Heart

Probably because of his poor background, Zhu Yuanzhang has always distrusted civil and military officials, and just after ascending the throne as the emperor, he set up the Imperial Gongwei Division, and then changed several names, and later became the famous Jinyi Guard. After completing the Hu Weiyong case and the Lan Yu case, which involved countless cases, this successful and retired institution was abolished by Zhu Yuanzhang, and even the commander and the cool officials under him killed many of them, which can be regarded as an explanation to the hundred officials. However, after the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di ascended the throne, he immediately reopened the Jinyi Guard, and one of the commanders was the famous Ji Gang.

Ji Gang is dead, but Jinyiwei is still there, and the new Beizhen Fusi in the Yongle period is still there. Since the relocation of the capital to Beijing was a foregone conclusion, Jinyiwei got the emperor's decree early and chose a good place in the east of the Chengtian Gate of the West Palace as the place of affairs of the Fusi of Beizhen. Now the city of Beijing has not been repaired, and the imperial palace has only been built in a small way, but the dungeon of Fusi in Beizhen has long been neatly repaired, and the cells in it are complete, which is almost exactly the same as the terrible place in Nanjing.

The prisoners in the Fusi Edict Prison in Beizhen, Nanjing, have been safely transferred to Beijing through the canal, and they are locked up in their respective places, but they are not in any disorder. Although Jin Yiwei's various torture methods are unique, not everyone has treatment worthy of torture, and more people are thrown into that gloomy cell to let maggots die of old age, and no one has time to torture for fun. In the words of Yuan Fang, who has been the commander of Jinyiwei for more than two years, Jinyiwei will not spend his efforts on useless people.

Therefore, although two new people have recently been admitted to this Beizhen Fusi Imperial Prison, the treatment of the two is completely different. One was imprisoned in the gloomy black prison in the south, with three meals a day being delivered, and no one paid attention to his plans on weekdays; The other cell is spacious and clean, not to mention rats, not even lice may not be able to find one. But it was a daily trial.

For more than ten days in a row, he was interrogated every day to investigate whether the movements of the Han Wang's father and son had ulterior motives, whether they were instructed by others, whether they colluded with courtiers, and countless other questions. The interrogation chamber was full of all kinds of torture instruments, and although he had not tasted any of them, it was still very uncomfortable to be in them. After all, he wasn't sure he would be able to get out at the moment. I am not sure that people will never have to be punished.

"Someone, send Master Meng back."

After another day of interrogation as usual, Yuan Yi gave an order as usual. It wasn't until Meng Xian was put down and the thick iron door was closed tightly in front of him, that he lost the gloomy posture he had just sat upright, and leaned back on the Taishi chair without any pretension, and breathed a long sigh of relief. I asked these few questions all day long, and I had to report to the emperor every day. I'm afraid that a person will not be able to bear the torture for a long time, but he is not a mad dog that bites people indiscriminately.

The emperor was just venting his anger, why did he have to ask Meng Xian to confess that King Zhao? Having said that, after the Meng family was kicked out of the Yamen of Shandong Dusi, Zhang Yue actually took them in. Did this kid eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, or did real readers have this fearless temperament?

"Forget it, since he has taken a fancy to other people's girls, I have to think about it. Hengzhi is definitely an ironclad case, but even the British Duke is gone, and the Meng family still has a hard time...... Speaking of which, King Han is the most unlucky, it's not enough to meet a madman's son, but he actually set up a madman Zhixian, plus a Meng Xian who was made crazy by being named an official and making a wish! ”

After thinking about it in his heart, Yuan Shi Shiran stood up and turned his gaze around the torture room. For the effort that took after it was built. He was indescribably satisfied. Who would have thought that he had instructed a group of henchmen to make it out of the surrounding walls, with whips, boning knives and many famous gadgets hanging on the walls, bloodstained sticks on the floor, a soldering iron burning in the iron stove on the side, and dark red walls and floors that seemed to be soaked in human blood?

Everyone thinks that the Jinyi Guards are all scary and terrifying guys who eat people and don't spit out bones, but God is pitiful, those guys are certainly good hands on the court staff, and they also have a good ability to use torture with one hand. But there aren't many opportunities to show off your skills!

He walked slowly out of the torture chamber. Immediately two thousand families came up to do something, and he listened casually. Sometimes ask casually twice. He can be regarded as a sudden advance, and he has no foundation in the Jinyi Guard in the capital, but he has a large number of people in his hands, so he has placed a group of people lightly and skillfully, and now these two are confidants. In terms of seizing the opportunity, he thought to himself that he was already perfect, otherwise it was just the only opportunity when Zhu Di's northern tour passed through Kaifeng in the ninth year of Yongle, how could he rise so fast?

The so-called Jane is in the emperor's heart, which is easier said than done, but it is not enough for outsiders.

"By the way, there is one more thing that has to be reported to the adults, half a month ago, the magistrate of the black prison was still making a lot of noise, saying that he can't punish the doctor, and he can't be courteous, and he has been shouting to see the emperor, and he has said a lot of ugly things, and his subordinates think he is crazy?"

"Crazy?" Yuan Fang stopped at his feet, waved his hand indifferently, and said, "That's a madman who is bent on avenging an arrow and trying to climb up, if it's really crazy." Since he has the strength to shout, then you should send a message to starve him for three days, and see if he has the strength to do so! Punishment is not a doctor...... I haven't tortured him yet! Lord Yang Pu is still studying hard, don't let a madman disturb Qingjing! ”

Solving such an inconspicuous trivial matter like swatting flies, Yuan Yi took care of the scarlet tiger and leopard silk robe on his body, tidied up the golden lychee belt, and straightened his head on the ground, and then rushed to the warm hall. Because of his official position as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he was usually gloomy and unsmiling in front of people, so the civil and military officials on the road almost avoided walking around when they saw him, until they arrived at the warm hall to listen to the rumors, he never met anyone.

Although spring has arrived, even the spring thunder has hit twice, but the weather is still cold, so Zhu Di's living is still in the warm hall. When the little eunuch stepped forward to report that the commander of the Jinyi Guard had asked Yuan Fang to see him, he didn't even think about it and ordered him to see him. When Yuan Fang came in to attend the ceremony, and detailed the situation of the edict and the important reports from various places, he only listened unmoved. It was only when he heard that Zhang Xuan had arrived in Shandong and that the Meng family had moved out of the Dusi Yamen, that he frowned.

"What a cautious and cautious person Meng Shan was back then, he would have given birth to such a bold son as Meng Xian! Investigating the royal family is just for such a trivial matter, he thinks I am so easy to fool! You give me a good trial, I want to know who gave him such a bold son! ”

10,000 catties of salt is just a trivial matter, and Yuan Fang sneered in his heart when he heard it. The salt on the Shouguang Palace, not to mention, has 200,000 catties, and the first batch of luck is only 10,000 catties and was caught by Meng Xian and Sun Lianggan, I have to say that those two people are indeed ill-intentioned. But there are many people with worse intentions, but the emperor doesn't know it.

Of course, compared to the more than 4 million catties of salt that his predecessor encroached on the salt factory officials in various places, what is the two princes who occupy such a little bit?

However, there are some things that cannot be reported to the emperor to know, and there are some things that he must mention, and he bowed down and agreed, and said in a low voice: "The minister still has something to show the emperor." As soon as Master Zhang arrived, he drove the Meng family out of the Dusi Yamen, but Meng Xian's wife was seriously ill and dying, so Zhang Yue, the Tongzhi of Qingzhou Mansion, arranged a house for them and took them over. He also said to Liu Dushuai that when he was studying, Mr. Meng taught that people only want to be worthy of their hearts when they live in the world, and if they see widows and widows and lonely without sorrow, women and children in trouble and do not save them, when they see uneven roads and do not make noise, and when they see corruption and pervert the law and merge with each other, then they are not people. ”

Zhu Di frowned when he heard the first half, and when he heard the second half, his brows immediately stretched, and he immediately scolded with a smile: "This bold little guy is obviously a son of the martial arts, and he actually learned that set with Du Zhen, the cold-faced man!" It's just that there are many people who have sent charcoal in the snow at times of crisis, and it is rare for him to be like this, at least better than those who are not responsible! ”

Yuan Fang hurriedly agreed, but he knew in his heart that this emperor loved a person, even if there was a bad or a mistake, it could be brushed aside, if he met a disgusting person, he still had to pick a bone in the egg, and he would be dead if he encountered this kind of thing! This is the benefit of Jane in the emperor's heart, Zhang Yue is really blessed.

At that moment, he took advantage of the situation to talk about the progress of Shandong's reclamation of barren fields, but he did not praise or disparage.

Zhu Di has always been very satisfied with the second Jinyi Guard commander who was personally promoted by himself, but the most satisfying thing is this impartial attitude, at least, as far as he knows, whether it is the crown prince or the prince of Han, King Zhao, there is no connection with Yuan Fang, this is a commander of the Jinyi Guard who is completely loyal to him, and it is not in vain that he did not follow the qualifications but was promoted beyond the promotion.

"Let the Jinyi guards over there in Qingzhou stare at some, although Zhang Xuan is a British brother and is quite smart, but after all, he has never done such a big thing. It's just a matter of imprisoning Zhu Zhanqi, that's just a crazy little guy, but King Han can't be ignored, after all, he has been assassinated before. Thinking of the vague assassination, Zhu Di suddenly frowned again, and was a little helpless in his heart about the decision to cut the guards of the King of Han, but in the end he was ruthless, "Yuan Fang, the King of Han said before that he whipped the servants so that he blatantly assassinated him with hatred, what do you think about this?" ”

Even Yuan Fang is quite unable to answer such a question - even if the Jinyi guards in Qingzhou work hard, there is still no clue about this matter, since the King of Han has admitted it so much, what else can others say?
