Chapter 182: It's a little difficult
(Thank you for your support, ask for collection, ask for recommendation.) )
It is said that the capital movement of this night is very big, even the palace gate in the middle of the night is opened, then there must be something big happening, many ministers were woken up by the butler's fire henchmen in the middle of the night, and the concubine's quilt got up angrily, and then heard the palace door open in the middle of the night, and the Fuwang Mansion was full of fire, shouting and killing, and suddenly a spirit was completely awake. Then it's time to dress up and be ready for an urgent summons in the palace.
In the hall of the leisurely residence, the Hongzhi family gathered together, and Empress Zhang hugged Zhu Houwei with tears in her eyes, looking up and down to see if she had been harmed. Zhu Houwei came urgently, he was still wearing guard clothes, and there was black dirt on his face, Empress Zhang was wiping it carefully, and Zhu Houwei was patiently comforting Empress Zhang.
Hongji looked at his two sons, and then said in a deep voice, "Follow me." After speaking, he turned his head and walked to the study on the second floor, and the two brothers said hello to Queen Zhang and hurriedly followed.
When they arrived at the study, Hongzhi first asked the two to sit down, and then asked Zhu Houwei to talk in detail. Zhu Houwei said things like this, like this. After listening, Hongzhi's face sank like water, and Zhu Houzhao's eyes were about to burst into flames.
After a while, Koji asked the two of them, "Do you have eyebrows?" Who is that Liu Xuan? Zhu Houwei calmly analyzed, "A few days ago, the child asked Jinyiwei to check. Liu Xuan is twenty-three years old, a native of Hangzhou, and is famous for his talents. has a good reputation in Jiangnan, and among the people, Shilin has a good impression of him. He is the grandson of the head of the Liu family, and the Hangzhou Liu family is known as one of the four families in Suzhou and Hangzhou. As for the rest, Jinyiwei couldn't find out. Zhu Houzhao waited for Zhu Houwei to finish speaking, and then said, "This time, let the food first, there is also a little effort, although the situation in the south of the Yangtze River can't be inquired, but some of the situation in the north is still known." The Liu family not only has a cloth village and a grain and rice store in Shandong and Henan, but also has their share in two salt merchants. Because the Liu family paved roads and bridges around their hometown and helped poor students, they can be regarded as a big family with a good reputation in Jiangnan. However, they would take orphans everywhere, and the children guessed that they were using them to train the dead. ”
Hongji nodded, and before he could say anything, he heard someone knocking on the study door, and Hongji said, "Come in." "As soon as I opened the door, it turned out to be He Ding, the big eunuch beside Hongzhi." What's up? "Back to the emperor's words, there is news outside the city, saying that the person has been caught, and now it is being closed in the thousand households of the Jinyi guard outside the city, and it will be sent in after the city gate is opened."
Hongzhi frowned and said, "Let them send people to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, and pass the word to Zhao Zhiying, don't make any moths." "Yes, the old slave is retired." After saying that, close the door when you go out.
Zhu Houwei in the house breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the person caught it, he was afraid that it would take a lot of effort to escape. Zhu Houzhao asked, "Daddy, this case will be handed over to Shuntianfu for trial?" Hongji nodded, "You two go and listen too, but don't say more, come back and tell me something." By the way, Hou Wei will live here during this time, and go back when your palace is rebuilt. Zhu Houwei nodded, and then asked, "Daddy, this Liu Xuan has been caught, but what about the Liu family in Hangzhou, do you want to send someone to Hangzhou to seal their property first?" Hongji shook his head, "It's not okay yet, you have to wait until the case is a little eyebrow-raising." Otherwise, the ministers below will have something to say. ”
Zhu Houwei said a little anxiously: "Then what if they run away?" Hongji sneered, "Run?" Where can they run in this world? Once the charges are confirmed, even if there are fish that slip through the net, what waves can they afford. Zhu Houwei knew that although the Ming Dynasty in this era knew about other countries other than the Ming Dynasty, in their eyes, these places were all wild places, diseases were rampant, and even if they didn't die in the hands of nature in a hurry, they would be killed by the barbarians. Zhu Houwei can't change this concept all at once, not to mention anything else, if the Liu family runs to the South Seas, the Ming Dynasty is really beyond their reach, but in the future, the navy will be formed, even if they run to the ends of the earth, these people will not be able to escape Zhu Houwei's palm. Zhu Houwei will not repay grievances with virtue, the kindness of a woman.
The father and son talked for a while, although the sky was not yet bright, but today's time for the court was coming, and Hongzhi had to talk to the courtiers about these big things. Why can three or five hundred extremely vicious people be ambushed in the capital unconsciously, and why are there even guards who turn against each other when the palace is attacked? There are such spies in the palace, so whether there are other places, this must be investigated. Zhu Houwei hurriedly went to take a shower and change clothes, this image is too bad.
How Hongzhi regulates the army, the officialdom will not talk about it first, let's talk about Liu Xuan's case first.
In the daytime, as soon as the city gates opened, the entire capital woke up and became lively again. The attack on the palace was like a hurricane, which blew through the entire capital in an instant. It is hard to believe that in the Ming Dynasty, where there was no Internet, mobile phones and other media means, how could news spread so quickly. Many people even deliberately ran to the vicinity of the palace to look into the distance to see what was going on. Although martial law has been imposed here, the corpses on the carriage are still seen by the people, hundreds one after another, and the first reaction of most of the people who see them is not fear, but excitement and worry. I am excited that there has been no such a big case in the capital for a long time, and now I can talk about it for a year, and I am worried that the palace was attacked, which is a big case to quarrel and exterminate the clan, and I hope that my relatives and friends are not involved, otherwise I will be miserable.
Shuncheonfu Yin is very conflicted today, because the ups and downs of life are too exciting. Last night, hundreds of people with knives, guns and even bows and crossbows entered the Fuwang Mansion, which had a lot to do with his Shuntian Mansion, Zhao Zhiying's crime of negligence could be big or small, but Hongzhi did not put him in it, but let him make meritorious service and try the case. If this case is tried well, it will be a political achievement, a lot of points, and promotion is expected, if it is not done well, the two crimes will be punished together, and the black yarn hat will definitely be lost, and maybe even his life will be gone. Zhao Zhiying swore in her heart that she must bring this Liu Xuan out of trial.
Sitting in the lobby, the two classes of officials had already stood up, and they were about to shout, but there was a voice at the door, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, and His Royal Highness King Fu has arrived." Zhao Zhiying's already brewing emotions fell to the bottom, and she quickly stood up and walked out quickly, ready to meet the two dragons.
Today, the two of them are dressed very formally, with a vermilion python robe and a cicada wing crown on their heads, which is a court dress. Zhu Houzhao stood at the front, and Zhu Houwei was slightly behind. Zhao Zhiying hurriedly knelt down and said, "Weichen Zhao Zhiying knocks on His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Fu King." Followed by the master who came out, the officials and others also knelt down and bowed. Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houwei both have calm faces, of course, it is understandable that Zhu Houwei encountered such a thing. After nearly ten seconds, Zhu Houzhao said lightly, "No courtesy." ”
Zhao Zhiying took the opportunity to get up, waved his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, he knew that this was beating him. After all, Shuntianfu's dereliction of duty will give the gangsters a chance.
Zhao Fuyin smiled and asked, "I don't know if the two highnesses are coming?" Zhu Houwei spoke, "I heard that Zhao Fuyin is going to interrogate Liu Xuan, let's take a look." It should be okay for me, the sufferer, and my family to come and listen to it. Zhao Fuyin was a little embarrassed and said, "The prince is serious. It is reasonable for the two Highnesses to come. The two highnesses came just in time, and Weichen was about to interrogate the prisoner. Please," he said, reaching out and pulling in. The two of them walked inside, and the people who had just come out followed followed behind one after another.
Entering the lobby, Zhu Houwei said to Zhao Zhiying: "Zhao Fuyin, my brothers can just watch from the sidelines." Zhao Fuyin hurriedly said, "Yes." He turned his head to the master and said, "Quickly move two chairs for the two highnesses to sit on." ”
After a lot of hustle and bustle, the lobby calmed down. Zhao Fu Yin, who is usually fierce and mighty, immediately became a humble gentleman, and even the strength of the slap was a lot softer, and he said smoothly, "Shengtang." The two classes of officials sang a voice, "Wei ~~Wu ~~." "Take the prisoner Liu Xuan."
After a while, Liu Xuan Shi Ran walked up to the lobby, followed by two officials. The clothes on his body are neat, and he doesn't have shackles, he looks calm, and he has two servants to accompany him, like a son who takes his family shopping. Seeing Zhu Houwei in the hall, he smiled slightly and nodded his head. The two brothers have a new impression of this Liu Xuan, and looking at his calm and relaxed appearance, I am afraid that this case is not so easy to judge.
