Chapter 266: Ge Cheng informed
With the sound of firecrackers, Daming ushered in a new year, which is known as the "first year of Jianwen" in history.
The bell of the Wufeng Tower rings melodiously, and the princes and ministers in Beijing, the civil officials and military generals above the fourth grade, the meritorious princes, and the envoys of the Yi country gather in the Fengtian Hall to congratulate the Son of Heaven.
Jin Wuwei set up a flag outside the Mukden Gate. The guards set up troops outside the noon gate. Weiwei Temple in Fengtian Temple Gate and Dan Majesty, Dan Qi set up Huang Lu battle. The inner envoy is attached to the temple.
The civil and military officials have a beam crown, a leather belt, a ribbon, a white yarn in the single, a blue collar, white socks and black shoes, which is the etiquette of the New Year's Day of the Ming Dynasty in the 26th year of Hongwu.
Fengtian Temple bowed to the Son of Heaven, Zhu Yunwen issued an edict, changed the Yuan "Jianwen", this is the first year of Jianwen, and rewarded the promotion of the royal children and Hongwu old ministers, all given gold cloth, in order to show the kindness of the new emperor. The great Confucian Fang Xiaoru was officially activated, and he was appointed by Hanlin to lecture on bachelors, serve the emperor's side, answer the emperor's doubts, and presided over the revision of books such as "Taizu Shilu" and "Class Essentials".
Jiangdu and Thrush were promoted to Princess Jiangdu and Princess Changning, in this way, Xiao Fan's identity also rose with the tide, and was promoted to the captain of the horse, taking advantage of the opportunity of the big vassals, Zhu Yunwen sold his surname generously, and gave Zhang Hongqiao and Chen Yinger as the three grades of the Lady, the Ministry of Rites made a book and issued coupons, and the four daughters were overjoyed, so Zhang Hongqiao and Chen Yinger also appeared as Mrs. Decree in the courtroom ceremony of the ladies of the courtiers presided over by Queen Ma in the harem.
Queen Ma gave birth to Zhu Yunwen's wife, she understood Xiao Fan's weight, and did not dare to slack off on the four daughters, including the eldest sister-in-law Princess Jiangdu, after the ceremony, Queen Ma deliberately announced the narrative of the four daughters in the palace, and showed her closeness to the four daughters during the conversation, and did not put the queen on the shelf at all, and made Zhang Hongqiao and Chen Yinger, the two women from the dust and merchants, grateful.
In contact with the four daughters, Queen Ma was quite curious about Xiao Fan's wife, Princess Changning Thrush, seeing that the thrush was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but her behavior was very appropriate, the princess's dress was worn on her body to show grace and luxury, and her gestures were dignified and natural, it was rumored that when Xiao Fan was down, this woman depended on her and went to adversity together, no wonder Xiao Fan loved her so much, even the first emperor forced him to divorce his wife Xiao Fan was not moved at all, and even dared to offend Tianyan.
After the New Year's Day ceremony, Zhu Yunwen issued an edict, the new dynasty is about to begin, amnesty for prisoners in the world, in order to show the benevolence of the new monarch, the Ming Dynasty's official offices, command envoys, and vassal kings are all unchanged, according to the Hongwu Dynasty to do their own thing, do not slack off.
After New Year's Day, Xiao Fan felt more and more pressed for time, and the secret agents of Jinyiwei's Zhenfu Si Yamen were constantly being sent out, and all kinds of intelligence flew to Xiao Fan's desk like snowflakes, and a earth-shaking change was brewing in peace.
At the beginning of February of the first year of Jianwen, the troubled imperial court seized Prince Yan, and under the promise of Zhu Gaochi's three brothers who were forced to declare filial piety for three years, the voice of criticism against Xiao Fan gradually disappeared invisibly, and they were willing to keep filial piety for the first emperor for three years, who still has evidence to sue Xiao Fan for detaining Prince Yan?
Xiao Fan is safe, but the matter is not over, from the officials of the imperial court, to the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, everyone knows in their hearts that the first thing after the Ming Dynasty changed the Yuan Jianwen must be to cut the domain, this matter has been rumored as early as when Emperor Hongwu was still alive, and now the conditions in all aspects are ripe, and the arrow is on the bow, and it has to be sent.
At the end of February, Shi Gecheng, the governor of the Yan Palace, entered Beijing, and was ordered by the King of Yan to pay homage to the Son of Heaven, and explained to the Son of Heaven the mutiny of the Yan army at the end of the year on behalf of the King of Yan.
It was originally a tacit thing, whether the Yan army mutiny or not could not prove its loyalty to the imperial court, such as today, everyone knows that the king of Yan has different aspirations, and it is only a matter of time before he rebels, and the so-called explanation is only an official form, and before he officially tears his face with the imperial court, the inevitable form still has to be taken into account.
It's a pity that the envoy sent by Zhu Di this time chose the wrong person.
Shi Gecheng, the governor of Yanwang's mansion, is a person who pays great attention to orthodoxy, the king is the king, the emperor is the emperor, and he cannot be surpassed in the slightest, because this is the mandate of heaven, he is full of Confucianism, and his awe and love for the Son of Heaven is deep in the bone marrow and cannot be moved.
After Ge Cheng entered Beijing, Zhu Yunwen and Xiao Fan received him with grand etiquette.
Ge Cheng was moved, he was so high that he could only bow down, and he couldn't face the Son of Heaven, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard who was under one person and above 10,000 people personally met with a small palace chief, with such an amiable attitude, it was like a spring breeze, and there was a sense of comfort from the heart to the capillary blood pores, what does this mean? Explain the king, the saint and the sage! The situation is very good, and the Son of Heaven is the successor of orthodoxy, how can King Yan covet the throne and do that bad thing? This is simply a blasphemy against the Great Ming Holy Ancestor!
So after Ge Cheng entered Beijing, he thought and struggled all night in the official post, and finally made a decision that he thought was the most correct in his life.
- Sold King Yan!
Such an ambitious rebel with ill intentions, intent on rebellion, and vain desire to subvert the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty will be reported and exposed! He Ge Cheng has read poetry and books since he was a child, and he knows the truth of "monarchs and ministers", how can he be silent when he sees the rebels plotting behind the back of the Son of Heaven? Sold! Be sure to sell! Don't sell for nothing, don't sell for nothing!
Zhu Di, the king of Yan who has been wise all his life and has no last resort, never expected that he would have a time when he looked away, and even his first strategist Dao Yan did not expect that there was such an anti-bone boy hidden in the Yan Wangfu, and it was hidden very deeply...... Saints inevitably make mistakes, and of course Zhu Di can't avoid it, but the mistake he made this time was a bit fatal.
Maybe Zhu Di usually doesn't treat Ge Cheng as a person in the Yanwang Mansion, after Ge Cheng entered Beijing and was warmly entertained by the Son of Heaven and Xiao Fan, he actually had a noble sentiment of rebellion as a confidant, so the next day Ge Cheng disguised himself and entered the Jinyiwei Zhenfu Si Yamen alone, and secretly met Xiao Fan, the commander of Jinyiwei, under Xiao Fan's stunned gaze, Ge Cheng did not vomit and was unhappy with him, and exposed the dissatisfaction and hostility of King Yan against the court over the years, and even secretly plotted rebellion and other matters like a bamboo tube pouring beans. Until Xiao Fan interrupted him, his mouth was still foaming at the mouth, and his expression was very unfinished.
Xiao Fan has been staying for a long time, it is difficult to see such a sincere person these years, so sincere that even Xiao Fan is a little unbelievable, this guy has betrayed his master too thoroughly, right? Even what reactionary words Zhu Di said to his concubine when he was hee, he knew it clearly, as if his mission in Yanwang's Mansion was to listen to Zhu Di's wall every night, and the enemy hidden around him was the most terrifying, which was indeed true.
"Ge Changshi, you ...... Specially came to Beijing to expose King Yan's rebellion? King Yan sent you to expose him? Xiao Fan's expression was very weird.
Ge Cheng bravely straightened his chest and said righteously: "King Yan sent the lower official to help him say good things, but the lower officials felt that he was not a good person, so the lower officials didn't want to say good things about him." ”
Xiao Fan looked relieved, he was in Cao Ying, his heart was in Han, and he was such a good person who was loyal to the imperial court, what else could he say besides praising him?
So Xiao Fan gave him a thumbs up and said sincerely: "Ge Changshi...... True loyalty! ”
Ge Cheng was like hearing the sound of heaven, and the whole person seemed to float up: "This is what the lower officials should do, it's not worth mentioning, the minister has absolutely no ambition for the Son of Heaven, and the sky can learn from it!" ”
After being silent for a while, Xiao Fan suddenly said curiously: "King Yan and the concubine all say reactionary things when they are happy, but you heard it with your own ears?" ”
Ge Cheng swore to the sky: "If there is a lie, the sky will thunder and split, and you will not die well!" ”
"King Yan and the concubine are happy...... What posture is used? Xiao Fan suddenly started a flame of raging gossip, which can also be said to be a bad taste.
Ge Cheng was puzzled: "Does this have anything to do with King Yan's rebellion?" ”
"Of course it matters, you know, if a man has an incorrect posture during intercourse, and his body and mind are not happy enough, he will naturally have some big rebellions, just like the common people will scold their ancestors when they are unhappy in sex......
Ge Cheng obviously didn't have as deep a study of sexual affairs as Xiao Fan, and when he heard this, he looked straight at it and said, "Yes...... Is that so? ”
"Of course!" Xiao Fan nodded solemnly.
Ge Cheng glanced at Xiao Fan suspiciously, and said, "When King Yan has sex...... It's with your fingers. ”
Xiao Fan's eyes were full of stars: "Fingers? ”
"Yes, fingers!" Ge Cheng was categorical.
"Which finger?"
"Whichever one the princess likes, King Yan will use."
Gossip, super gossip!
It turned out that Zhu Di was an impotence patient, tsk...... Ge Cheng never came out after entering the Yamen of Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Division.
Obviously, Ge Cheng's abacus was also wrong.
What the imperial court needs now is not the evidence of King Yan's rebellion, but its own strength, and the evidence is no longer important when the two have come to this point, and the military strength that overwhelms the vassal king is the royal road.
Ge Cheng's loyal betrayal obviously did not achieve the expected effect.
After pouring the beans in the bamboo tube, the Jinyi guard commanded Xiao Fan to turn his face, this guy turned his face faster than turning a book, the face was smiling one moment, and the next moment it was as cold as ice, and he ordered the captain of Jinyi to take Ge Cheng down and put him in prison, and no one was allowed to approach.
found such an anti-bone boy to enter Beijing, Xiao Fan really felt sad for Zhu Di, this matter can't be publicized to the outside world, now the relationship between the court and the vassal king is very tense, and before the war is fully prepared, there is absolutely no room for any trouble, Ge Cheng's report and exposure is too inappropriate.
The prince sent people into Beijing to expose his crimes, and the incompatible Jinyi guard commander also tried every means to help the prince cover up, which was funny and absurd from beginning to end, but it was reasonable.
After detaining Ge Cheng, Xiao Fan hurriedly entered the palace to meet Zhu Yunwen and truthfully reported the matter, Zhu Yunwen's expression was also very strange when he heard the music, his face twitched for a long time, and finally he held back a smile and said: "Treat Ge Cheng well, don't neglect him, he is also a loyal minister." ”
Xiao Fan smiled and should be.
The two of them had a smile on their faces, but their hearts were very heavy, after Ge Cheng's incident, the war between the imperial court and the vassal king was now on the verge of breaking out, and even the superficial harmony could not be concealed.
Is King Yan ready?
Is the imperial court ready?
In the first year of Jianwen, the Beijing division was cloudy, and the mountain rain was coming.
The tour ended, returned to this familiar city, and rushed to catch a chapter out.
