Chapter 562: Finding the Sprouts
Tang Ming lived freely on Jeju Island, and Zhu Gaochi, who went back to Daming, was not so lucky. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info just returned to the palace and was jointly said by the ministers, saying that he, the emperor, sneaked out of the palace and ignored the political affairs of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Gaochi had bitterness in his heart but couldn't say it, and the matter of the Bright Sect couldn't be publicized, so he wouldn't tell those ministers. But there is no good explanation, so they can only say it.
Anyway, those ministers can only play tricks in the court now, and if they are tired of listening to it, they will not listen. Moreover, today's Ming Dynasty is too peaceful, and there are almost no major problems in political affairs.
Every day is a trivial matter, which can be seen in Zhu Gaochi's recent criticism. The biggest thing is that there was a murder in such and such a place, and a few people died.
The most bizarre thing is that Zhu Gaochi once saw that someone said that a few cows of a farmer were missing, and asked the emperor to send a messenger to investigate strictly.
A few cows needed to be reported to him, and Tian shamelessly asked Pai Qin to send him down, but Zhu Gaochi was angry and dismissed the officials.
This Ming Dynasty is peaceful, and there have been no major natural and man-made disasters in the past two years, which can be described as smooth wind and rain, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Originally, Zhu Gaochi and the ministers should have felt happy, but this change was too fast, so that the ministers and Zhu Gaochi had not adapted much.
When he first took over the throne, Zhu Gaochi was so busy that he was dizzy, and the ministers also followed him, and now that he has stabilized, the army has nothing to do. It seems that everything has been done in the past two years, and the current ministers are like a party in the early dynasty, and the Taiji Hall is about to become a teahouse hall.
Zhu Gaochi returned to the imperial study with a large stack of music folds just received, and faced with these twists and turns of folk trivial things every day, Zhu Gaochi seemed to have begun to gradually adapt.
He also got some pleasure from these twists and turns, and completely regarded them as folk tales. Whenever I see something interesting, I will order someone to copy it out, and looking at the posture should be the rhythm of preparing to publish the book.
When he arrived at the imperial study, when the eunuch had arranged everything, he drove everyone out, closed the door and hid alone. As soon as I picked up a copy, I opened it and was fascinated by its contents.
There was nothing important written in it, but the prefect of southern Fujian reported that many Western missionaries had recently come to Yuegang. The government under his rule hyped up his teachings, which had already had a lot of friction with Buddhism and Taoism, and the prefect himself did not know how to settle the matter, so Gu Shangzhu asked Zhu Gaochi to decide.
This Western paganism, he had heard Zheng He mention it before, and like the Ming Dynasty, it also divided good and evil. Zhu Gaochi was not very enthusiastic about whether the Western religions that came to Daming were right and evil, and what he was enthusiastic about was that these Western churches would not have anything to do with the mysterious Light Sect.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very possible, and then look at the time when these Western religions appeared in the Ming Dynasty, which happened to coincide with the assassins entering the palace to assassinate. Although there are many coincidences in the world, for the Bright Sect, Zhu Gaochi will never let go of any clues.
After thinking about it, he was called Ji Gang, and after Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, he restored Jinyiwei, and Ji Gang was naturally reinstated and became the commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei.
His power is now only bigger than when he was at his peak, and when he heard that the emperor summoned him, Ji Gang was still very confused and didn't know what was going on.
"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with calling Weichen?" Ji Gang spoke directly after seeing the ceremony.
Zhu Gaochi didn't say anything, but handed him the book he had just read, and then said: "There are many Western missionaries who have suddenly come to the Yuegang in southern Fujian, and I suspect that their identities may be related to the Illumination Sect, so you should immediately take someone to find out about this matter!" ”
"This, it's impossible, right?" The Compendium has been roughly swept away, but it is just some ordinary Western missionaries. If there's one thing about how they're different from usual, it's just that there are a few more people at the same time this time.
"Don't worry about it, it's useless, in short, let's find out about this matter, remember, you can't let go of any clues." Zhu Gaochi's face sank, and he seemed to be slightly dissatisfied with Ji Gang.
Seeing his expression, Ji Gang didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he left on his own with a confession. In the past, Ji Gang and Zhu Gaochi stayed together without any pressure. But recently, he found that the emperor is becoming more and more imposing, and even he, an old subordinate who has been following him for many years, will always feel pressure from him at this moment.
When Ji Gang was about to go out, Zhu Gaochi instructed him to investigate in secret, let alone publicize the matter. After Ji Gang left, Zhu Gaochi took the book and studied it repeatedly.
It's a pity that apart from the association he just made, he couldn't find any useful value, and when he was unwilling, he suddenly remembered Jianwen.
He used to be a member of the Illumination Sect, and he knew a lot of things, so maybe if you ask him, you might get some useful information.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaochi couldn't hold his breath anymore, and hurriedly took the book and went to find Jianwen. It's still the same small courtyard, but less than two months apart, this small courtyard has changed dramatically from before.
The small garden, which was originally only weeds, was planted with a lot of flowers and plants, and the whole small building was repainted and painted, which was refreshingly clean and tidy.
Zhu Gaochi looked up and saw that the security here was heavily guarded, and the open and secret sentinels almost covered the entire small courtyard. Jianwen's figure was on the balcony on the second floor, and Zhu Gaochi went up to the second floor as fast as he could.
With a smile, he said: "I don't know the bad situation now, you can still get used to it, if you still need something, just tell the housekeeper to get it, but don't wronged yourself." ”
Hearing Zhu Gaochi's voice, Jianwen slowly turned around, smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the old man in his old age could live such a life, there is nothing to ask for." But I saw that you were in a hurry, so why did you come to find the old man! ”
Zhu Gaochi was no longer polite, and showed Jianwen the fold of the recital, and said, "I just want to ask you if the Bright Sect is related to these so-called Western missionaries. ”
Although Zhu Gaochi's face was still very relaxed at the moment, he was actually already nervous in his heart. Now this Illuminati is a thorn in his heart, threatening his life at any time.
This made it difficult for him to sleep, especially after seeing the skills of these people on Jeju Island, Zhu Gaochi did not dare to relax in the slightest. (To be continued.) )
