Yang Qiuchi even claimed to be so, but he thought in his heart, you are an old eunuch, you don't think about women, of course you think that you are in trouble, I am only in my twenties, and it is the age of thinking about women.

But what the old eunuch said also makes sense, think about how much credit he saved the emperor's most beloved woman this time, to a certain extent, this credit may be greater than saving the emperor himself, what a great credit it is, as a result, because he couldn't escape this love word, he took the credit and didn't catch anything, it was really more wronged than Du E's injustice! ”

The emperor forgave himself for the first time, and said that he would not take the next example, this was not an example from the emperor's mouth, and it was definitely not a threat or a cliché, if he dared to commit it again, one hundred and two percent of the people would die. It seems that I can't make low-level mistakes in my life style anymore, otherwise I can't even save my life, let alone my future.

Gonggong Li said again: "By the way, has the concubine that Lord Yang was robbed of last time been found?" ”

At the mention of Qin Zhihui, Yang Qiuchi's heart was sour, and he shook his head gloomily. Yang Qiuchi often dreamed of Qin Zhihui, and every time he woke up from a dream, he was always sad and couldn't sleep for a long time.

Qin Zhihui's room has been empty, Yang Qiuchi believes that one day she will come back, but it has been a long time, and Jin Yiwei even sent a sea fishing document to look for it, but Qin Zhihui has no news at all. I can't even find the powerful Jinyi Guard, I'm afraid that no one in this world can find her.

Seeing that Yang Qiuchi was sad, Gonggong Li sighed and said, "Lord Yang doesn't have to worry too much, she is auspicious and will definitely come back." After a pause, he said, "In this way, after I go back, I will talk to Master Ji Gangji, and ask them to send more people to try their best to find it." ”

Yang Qiuchi bowed down and thanked him, but he also understood in his heart that the whole country had used sea fishing and searching, and what trick could be more effective than this? Intensify the search, I'm afraid this is only a consolation.

Gonggong Li diverted the topic and said, "Lord Yang, the old slave has another task when he comes this time. After a pause, he said, "This time, the virtuous concubine Niangniang had to get rid of the big disaster, and the emperor was overjoyed, and decided to celebrate the emperor's birthday on December 5th. ”

Yang Qiuchi looked at Gonggong Li in a daze, and he didn't understand what this Kaienke meant.

Gonggong Li seemed to know very well how much ink was in Yang Qiuchi's stomach, and explained: "Lord Yang, our Ming Dynasty implemented the imperial examination to enter the official, but all those who are officials are produced by the imperial examination, according to the convention, this imperial examination township examination is once every three years, and next year is not the year of the township examination, but the emperor in order to celebrate the safety and safety of the concubine, the emperor allowed the opening of the big examination, on the one hand, the whole world celebrates the auspicious stars of the concubine, and on the other hand, recruits talents for the country." That's why it's called Enko. ”

At this moment, Yang Qiuchi understood that this Enke was an additional imperial examination that the emperor had specially added in addition to the regular imperial examination time. But what's the matter with me?

Gonggong Li walked to Yang Qiuchi's side and said in a low voice: "According to the confession of Jianwen's henchman Wang Yue, who was captured by Lord Yang last time, this Jianwen and his important leaders are currently hidden in the southwest, but the specific location is not clear. The emperor assigned you to be an official in the southwest, and you will know the specific location when the time comes. You have to take the opportunity to secretly find Jianwen's traces, in order to completely eradicate the remnants of Jianwen. ”

"This time, the emperor opened Enke, firstly, to celebrate the virtuous concubine, and secondly, to let you use this Enke Township test to become an official in the southwest, so that you can visit without a trace."

"Huh?" Yang Qiuchi was taken aback and asked, "Let me participate in the imperial examination?" I don't know anything, I will never pass the test. ”

Gonggong Li smiled: "Lord Yang, you only need to go to the Tribute Academy to take the exam, don't worry about the rest, even if you don't write a word, you can still raise people in high school." ”

Haha, Yang Qiuchi is happy, it turns out that he also has a day of shit luck like Zhang Haogu in the middle school text "Three Levels in a Row", hahaha, lifting people, you don't need to write a word, Lao Tzu is still lifting people, haha.

Yang Qiuchi grinned happily for a while, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Father-in-law, I heard people say that it seems that to participate in the imperial examination, I must go through some children's examination and obtain the qualification of Xiucai, don't I have to participate in the children's examination?" If you don't have the qualifications to show talent, won't people doubt it? ”

Gonggong Li smiled and said: "We will donate money in your name to let you enter the national prison and become a prisoner, which is called a regular prison." With this qualification, you can take the December 5th Enke Township Exam. ”

Ha, and this said, Yang Qiuchi is happy, he doesn't even have to donate money for admission by himself, Guozijian? It seems to be the highest university in the Ming Dynasty, equivalent to Peking University and Tsinghua University, at least it is also the Central Party School. I didn't expect to become a student of Guozijian. Terrible!

Gonggong Li waited for Yang Qiuchi to be beautiful enough before continuing: "After Lord Yang is raised in high school, we will arrange things like this election, you don't have to worry about it, just appoint it at home." ”

That's good, don't care about anything, wait to be an official, who said that the world won't drop pies? Isn't this dropped? Even the braised pig's feet fell together! Ha ha. Yang Qiuchi smiled and nodded.

Gonggong Li said: "Lord Yang, you have cracked the Hao family's rebellion case this time, and according to the provisions of our Ming law, the emperor will reward you with all the property of the anti-thief Hao family." He took out a stack of paper coupons from his arms and handed them to Yang Qiuchi, "These are the Hao family's property deeds, sales and other related deeds." Lord Yang, please order it. It's still the old rule, in order to hide people's eyes and ears and facilitate the adults to further investigate the case, they all say to the outside world that you Yang paid for the purchase. You just need to find the Yamen of the Governor of Ningguo Mansion, who temporarily manages the Hao family's property, to handle the handover. ”

Yang Qiuchi was surprised and delighted, it seems that he has made a meritorious service this time, and he has not lost his family, and the emperor also gave a consolation prize, and gave himself all the property and trading of the Hao family, this Hao family is one of the largest households in Ningguo Mansion, this money is a lot, and it can be regarded as a little compensation.

After Yang Qiuchi bowed and gave a salute, he carefully took it, a thick stack, and thanked him.

With the precedent of the He family's rebellion last time, Yang Qiuchi knew that the Hao family was probably wiped out by the Nine Clans this time, so he still asked casually: "Gonggong Li, how are the people of the Hao family?" ”

Gonggong Li waved his hand: "Conspiracy against the felony, heinous, exterminate the nine clans, I will be executed for a long time, and other relatives will be executed." After a pause, he said, "This time the rebellion was actually the internal guard Beijing camp soldiers around the emperor, the emperor was furious, and ordered all the generals and soldiers of the Beijing camp soldiers who participated in the rebellion to be executed together, and their relatives who lived together were executed. ”

Yang Qiuchi was taken aback, and remembered Bai Qianzong's family, the army that rebelled this time had his Beijing battalion soldiers, could this Bai Qianzong also be connected? Hurriedly asked: "Gonggong Li, this Bai Qianhu who conspired against the Qianhu of the Beijing Battalion Soldiers, can he be affected?" ”

Gonggong Li glanced at Yang Qiuchi: "Bai Qian's generals and other generals are not strict, and they sit back and watch their subordinates rebel, which is no different from their own rebellion, so the guard commander of the fourth guard of the Beijing camp to which Bai Qian belongs makes all the following generals and people from the same family sit down, and they are executed by Ling Chi, and the other cohabitants are executed. ”

Yang Qiuchi was stunned, this Ming Chengzu's ruthlessness was really to the extreme.

According to Yang Qiuchi's understanding, this Bai Qianzong's subordinates rebelled, and Bai Qianzong and others did not know and did not participate, even if they were at fault, at most they were not strict in discipline, and at most they would be blamed and resigned.

Ming Chengzu's execution of the Jingying soldiers was obviously an extrajudicial punishment beyond the provisions of the criminal law: Originally, according to the Ming law, the crime of treason would be exterminated by the nine clans, but the children under the fifteenth of the nine clans, mothers, daughters, wives, concubines, sisters and other relatives with female surnames were not executed, but were given to the families of meritorious heroes as slaves.

However, this time it was the rebellion of the Beijing camp soldiers, and the rebellion of the guards around the emperor, which of course made him feel extremely dangerous, and at the same time he was extremely angry, in order to kill an example, set an example, and ensure his safety to the greatest extent, so he was extrajudicially tortured and executed all the people who lived together, including the relatives of the female surname who should not have been executed by chance.

In fact, this kind of extrajudicial punishment by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di is not the first time for him. The other party's filial piety and extermination of the ten clans was the most cruel case of extrajudicial punishment at the beginning of his reign.

Fang Xiaoru is the emperor of Emperor Jianwen, a generation of Confucianism, and the idol of the world's scholars. After Emperor Jianwen was overthrown and his whereabouts were unknown, Fang Xiaoru was still filial and loyal, and swore not to obey Zhu Di. Zhu Di was annoyed and asked him: "You are not afraid of death, are you not afraid of being exterminated by the Nine Clans?" Fang Xiaoru replied: "What can the Ten Clans do to me!"

Zhu Di was furious, not only arrested Fang Xiaoru's nine clans, but also listed Fang Xiaoru's friends, students, and even all people related to Fang Xiaoru as a separate clan, and together with the nine clans, they were collectively called the "Ten Clans", a total of 873 people, and in front of Fang Xiaoru, all of them were killed (cut into pieces) in the city. Fang Xiaoru was the last to be tortured and died tragically on the street.

Bai Qian was arrested, so what happened to Bai Sumei? She has become a nun, has she also been arrested? Yang Qiuchi asked urgently: "Gonggong Li, what about Bai Qianzong's family?" Is it also connected? ”

"Of course, as I just said, cohabitation is a decision. Of course, this is also the case with Mr. Bai Qian, Mr. Bai Qian himself was executed by Ling Chi, and his wife and daughter were decided. ”

"But her daughter has already become a monk!"

"Monks?" Gonggong Li sneered, "This fate sits no matter whether it is a disease or a dead disease, and a monk cannot be spared." ”

Thinking that the weak Bai Sumei was about to be beheaded, Yang Qiuchi felt very uncomfortable. Yang Qiuchi remembered that Bai Qian always asked him to divorce his wife and marry his daughter Bai Sumei, if he was weak-willed at that time and divorced his wife and married Bai Sumei, then he might not be able to escape, and he would be beheaded by Zhu Lian this time.

In fact, Yang Qiuchi is too worried about this issue, because according to the provisions of the "Da Ming Law", in the fate of the felony of rebellion, "if the woman is allowed to marry and belong to her husband, the children and grandchildren have sex with others, and the wife who has not yet married, will not be chased." In other words, even if the mother's family commits a felony of rebellion and wants to be punished, as long as the daughter is married, the daughter and the son-in-law's family are not within the scope of the punishment and will not be affected.

Therefore, if Bai Sumei married Yang Qiuchi, Bai Qianzong and them would have rebelled, and Yang Qiuchi and Bai Sumei would not have been affected. Of course, this time the situation is very special, it is the rebellion of the Central Army of Ming Chengzu, and he has extrajudicial punishment of everyone in the same guard who did not participate in the rebellion, so it is entirely possible to expand it to include the daughter and son-in-law of the rebel.

Although Yang Qiuchi was still a little suspicious of Bai Qian's ridicule of himself when he was ashamed and angry, he thought that people also wanted to marry their daughters to him, no matter what, he was kind, and after he categorically refused, Bai Sumei became a nun in despair, and the family of three had to lose their heads, Yang Qiuchi felt very uncomfortable, thinking of Bai Sumei's sad and desperate eyes, there was a feeling of pain in his heart.

If you want to intercede for them, what reason can you find? Could it be that he once wanted to marry his daughter to me? Say he's not a traitor to the party and loyal? Thinking of this, Yang Qiuchi's heart moved, bowed to Gonggong Li, and said: "Father-in-law, about Bai Qian's rebellion, I'm afraid there are other grievances, and I have something to report to my father-in-law." ”

Gonggong Li frowned: "Lord Yang, please speak." ”

"The last time he fought a decisive battle with Jianwen Yu Party in Yunya Mountain, he saw with his own eyes that Jianwen Yu Party used Bai Qianzong and his wife and children to coerce Bai Qianzong to rebel, but Bai Qianzong categorically refused, which shows that Bai Qianzong is loyal to the emperor."

Gonggong Li stared at Yang Qiuchi, as if to see if what he said was true or false, and as if he was looking at what Yang Qiuchi meant by this, and Yang Qiuchi was a little hairy. After a while, Gonggong Li asked, "Lord Yang, is there really such a thing?" ”

"The lowly will never dare to lie and deceive the father-in-law! At that time, in addition to the humble position, there were also a number of Jinyi Wei brothers who were also present, and they also saw this scene. Please check with your father-in-law. ”

Gonggong Li pondered for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Even if this is true, can it offset Bai Qianzong's sin this time?" ”

"I think that Bai Qian is always loyal to the emperor, this time his subordinates rebelled, he does have unshirkable responsibility, but for the sake of his loyalty to the emperor, I really don't know if his subordinates can rebel and open the net."

Gonggong Li snorted and looked Yang Qiuchi up and down: "Lord Yang, are you interceding for them?" ”

When it comes to this, if you want to cover it up, I am afraid that it will backfire, so I can only stubbornly say: "Yes, considering the humble position, Bai Qian is always heartfelt, this time there is indeed a reason for it, if you kill such a loyal minister because of this, I am afraid that the world will have a complaint." ”

"Will the world have a whisper? I'm afraid that Lord Yang has a complaint, right? Gonggong Li sneered, "Lord Yang thinks I don't know?" This Bai Qian always planned to marry his daughter to you, but because of the divorce of his wife, he fell out, and you came forward to intercede for him, I'm afraid that the drunkard is not in the bar? ”

This dead eunuch is really powerful! He knew all about this matter clearly, and Yang Qiuchi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. It seems that his every move is under the monitoring of others, and he will have to be more careful in the future. raised his head slightly and secretly looked at Gonggong Li, and saw him looking at him, his face was full of joy and anger. I can't help but wonder.

Gonggong Li sighed and said, "Lord Yang, I can't be the master of this matter, but after I go back, I will definitely tell the emperor what Lord Yang said, and everything will be decided by the emperor." After a pause, he continued, "If what Lord Yang just said is true, the emperor will consider it at his discretion." ”

"There is Father-in-law!" Yang Qiuchi bowed.
