When they arrived at the dock, Huang Gonggong was moved to a stretcher and carefully carried onto the boat. After everyone boarded the boat, the sky was already dark, and several boats slowly headed towards the exit of Quanzhou Bay.

After an hour, the fleet had sailed out of Quanzhou Bay. The sea is very hot in May, and even at night, the temperature is very high. Zhu Houwei in the cabin ran to the deck, blowing the cool sea breeze, looking at the calm sea, the moonlight reflected a silver light on the sea, and there were only ships moving around, breaking the roar of the sea, and his mood slowly calmed down.

Soon after, the fleet came to the place where it joined the land and water camps. Although Zhu Houwei's kerosene lamps have begun to be sold in Jiangnan, they are not used much on ships. However, the boats of the water and land battalion are equipped with a lot, and under the white moonlight, the yellow lights are not covered, but form a different kind of beauty.

After half an hour, Zhu Houwei and the others returned to the fleet of the land and water battalion, but Li Huamei did not follow. The flagships of the water and land battalions were less than 20 meters apart from the flagships of the Li family's fleet, and with the help of the lights, Zhu Houwei bowed his hand to Li Huamei, who was watching, "There will be a period later." ”

Li Huamei immediately returned the salute, and both fleets slowly moved, and soon after, the distance between the two sides became farther and farther away until they disappeared on the sea. Li Huamei touched a short hammer on her waist and was silent.

"Second Young Master, what happened in Quanzhou City, why did the Huang Gong Guild become like this." Zhu Yuan looked at Zhu Houwei on the deck and asked softly.

Zhu Houwei's originally calm face became a little angry, so he said the matter succinctly. Zhu Yuan was also very angry and afraid after hearing this, it was not the first time that Zhu Houwei was assassinated, although he had avoided it, but it would be in the future. As an old man from Zhu's mansion, Zhu Yuan understands very well that Zhu Houzhao is two brothers, one makes suggestions and the other makes decisions, and both are indispensable. If something happens to Zhu Houwei, the consequences are unimaginable. And the headache is that the enemy is hiding in the dark, it is difficult to catch out, and Zhu Houwei's entry into Quanzhou City this time can be said to be very sudden, but the enemy launched this almost successful assassination in less than half a day, which shows that the enemy's strength should not be underestimated.

Zhu Houwei looked at the indignant Zhu Yuan and asked, "How are things going?" Zhu Yuan immediately replied, "Not long after the second young master left, they set off. Zhu Houwei nodded, "Now is only the first step, the key is later." You keep an eye on it. "Yes."

When the water and land battalion came, there were seven boats, but now only three have gone north together, and several boats carrying supplies and personnel from Sanyang Village have disappeared.

The Ming Dynasty is still peaceful, but on some official roads, there are several groups of people and horses from the south to the north at a rapid pace, and time is especially precious at this time.

On May 20, it had been more than ten days since Zhu Houwei's assassination, and the weather in the capital was getting hotter and hotter, which only made people lose their spirits. However, this is not the case for everyone. Early this morning, the sifted folds were piled up on Hiroji's desk, which was a lot more than usual. Hongji got up early and casually opened the two books, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle.

At this time, the great eunuch He Ding walked up to Hongzhi and said softly, "Emperor, it's time to go to court." Hongji pressed his brow and stood up.

The Ming Dynasty was divided into the Great Dynasty, the Shuowang Dynasty and the Chang Dynasty. Among them, the pilgrimage held on the three days of the New Year's Day, the Winter Solstice and the Longevity Holy Day is the heaviest. On the first day of the first month (Shuo) and the fifteenth day (Wang), hundreds of officials pay salutes in official uniforms, which are Shuo and Wangchao. The above two dynasties are all royal halls (i.e., Fengtian Palace, later renamed Huangji Palace, now Taihe Palace), which is of a ceremonial nature, and stops the "gift of the court", does not introduce the performance, and deals with political affairs in the Chang Dynasty. The Chang Dynasty is divided into early and late dynasties. Due to the long abolition of the late dynasty, the Ming Dynasty generally refers to the early dynasty, also known as the Japanese dynasty.

Today's early dynasty was held in the Fengtian Temple, saying that the Fengtian Temple, which was built during the period of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, but only three months after it was built, it was burned down because of the fire caused by thunder and lightning. Zhu Di thought that it was a punishment for Jingjing to go to heaven, so he respected Nanjing as the capital and did not rebuild the Fengtian Temple. In the Orthodox period (around 1440 AD), the intention of moving south was extinguished, so the temple was rebuilt, which was different from before.

However, the current Fengtian Hall is different from the orthodox period, because on the top of the palace, a lightning rod is installed. When I wanted to pretend, it was the anger of the ministers, the left sentence violated the ancestral system, and the right sentence was inconsistent with etiquette, in short, it was to think twice before acting. Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houwei discussed, and asked the people of Chaoyang Yuan to do an experiment in a room in the palace, and on a thunderous and lightning night, the courtiers did not go back, but were invited to watch the experiment, and then the entire court was cleaned, and many ministers' homes were also equipped with these devices, which made Zhu Houwei and his two uncles' decoration companies make a lot of money. Zhu Houwei said that for these powerful figures, there is no pressure at all. As the saying goes, you always have to pay it back when you come out to mix.

Early this morning, before the summer sun came out, the ministers were already waiting in front of the Fengtian Temple, and many people greeted each other, and it could be seen that they were going to court today for the same dream. Zhu Hou took care of many ministers' heads and ears, his face was expressionless, and his eyes were closed, as if he was asleep. Anyway, these ministers just say hello to him, and they don't talk about anything, which is too taboo.

Soon, the pilgrimage began. Hongji was dressed in court clothes and sat upright on the dragon chair. The great eunuch He Ding lifted the dust, and his high-pitched voice sounded "Shang Chao". The ministers knelt down, and the mountain shouted long live.

"If there is something to do, it will be played early, and there will be nothing to retreat."

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do." A second-grade member walked out of the crowd. Hongzhi glanced at him, "Liu Aiqing, please speak." "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to participate in Rongxiang, the prefect of Qinzhou Mansion in Guangxi, and oppresses the surrounding Tusi, causing the Tusi to rebel against the government, causing dozens of deaths and countless losses." Koji said one word: "Check." ”

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty generally wore a crown of good wings, and the ministers could still see Hongji's expression when they looked up slightly. Although today's Hongji is the same as usual, it is a little different from the past, how to say, a little more evil.

Next, a few more people came out to play something. Hongji dealt with it simply and clearly, and soon, the Fengtian Hall quieted down. He Ding turned his head to look at Hongzhi, who nodded slightly. He Ding shouted again, "If there is something to do, play early, and retreat if there is nothing." "But in three seconds, there is one person in between, a cyan official robe, obviously a petty official, it should be a royal history. I saw him bow his head and say, "Your Majesty, someone saw His Royal Highness King Fu in Quanzhou, and he was recognized by Qin Siyuan, the prefect of Quanzhou. ”

As soon as the words fell, the ministers were "shaken", and the buzzing discussions were endless, and many people showed "shock" on their faces. In Zhu Houzhao's eyes, they were all really shocked, but it has been a few years since Hongzhi went to power, and he knows very well that it is impossible for these people to see anything from their faces. These are all actor-level characters, and if the actors don't act well, at most they will lose their jobs, but if their acting skills are not good, they are likely to lose their meals. Looking at the vivid expressions of these characters, Zhu Houzhao has a better understanding of people's hearts.

Hongji was on the dragon chair and asked, "Has it been verified?" "The imperial history has the right to hear about it, and these imperial histories are also a group of well-informed figures in the entire court. This imperial historian is wearing a cyan official uniform, and she is obviously not a chief in the Imperial Court, but she is also qualified to perform affairs.

There are hundreds of officials in the previous dynasty, large and small, and it is impossible for everyone to be in the emperor's heart, and this middle-aged imperial history is obviously not familiar to Hongzhi. After the courtiers calmed down, he said, "The Di newspaper has been sent to the capital today, and more than 20 copies have been sent from Fujian, all of which have this matter. ”

Hongji nodded, narrowing his eyes slightly, "What do you think?" ”

The prelude just now is just an introduction, and then it can be regarded as getting to the point. A three-rank official in a big red robe said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Fu is not yet in the country, and he should have been in the capital, but he suddenly appeared in Quanzhou, thousands of miles away, which violates the ancestral system, and please ask Your Majesty to learn from it." "This is polite, let Hongji do it himself.

A four-grade official came out, "As far as Weichen knows, His Royal Highness King Fu did not have an edict when he went out of Beijing, which is a big crime, and please punish His Majesty severely." Hongji was unmoved when he heard this, and just asked calmly, "What about the rest of the Qing family?" ”

Liu Daxia, who is also the secretary of the Ministry of War, came out, "Your Majesty, since Chengzu, the prince is a minor in Beijing, and the country of adulthood is already customized. And His Royal Highness King Fu went out of Beijing without a name, obviously with bad intentions, if he left it alone, he was afraid that the "Jingjing" thing would recur in the future. As soon as the words fell, the Fengtian Temple was quiet as if there was no one. Everyone's expressions were really shocked, even the calm Hongzhi widened his eyes, his angry eyes stared at Liu Daxia tightly, Zhu Houzhao's eyes looked at Liu Daxia's eyes sharpened, faintly murderous.

What is "Jing Nan", it can be said to be a taboo in the Ming Dynasty, it is called Jing Nan to put it bluntly, but to put it bluntly, Zhu Yunwen, the emperor's grandson, wants to cut the domain, but his uncle Zhu Di raised troops to seize his nephew's country, which is not glorious. Liu Daxia is just upright and not that is known to many people, but no one thought that he would be so bold to say this taboo in this court. It can be said that he is going to trample Zhu Houwei to death, and I don't know how much hatred there is at this time.

Fengtian Hall was silent, and the monarchs and ministers looked at each other like this, Liu Daxia looked calm, and some people knew that this was a will to die. Pavilion elder Li Mengyang came out to ease the atmosphere, "Your Majesty, there is still something strange about His Royal Highness King Fu's appearance in Quanzhou, it is better to wait for the investigation before making a calculation." ”

Koji slowly withdrew his gaze, opened the clenched fist in his sleeve, and said a little hoarsely, "Let him in." He Ding nodded: "Spread the blessing to the king." One by one, the eunuchs shouted outward. Not long after, Zhu Houwei, who was smiling, slowly walked into the gate of Fengtian Hall in many surprised eyes.
