"Read!" When Emperor Xuande heard that Jian Yi had written a recital for himself before he died, he felt inexplicably lonely for a while, and slowly closed his eyes and said.

In just one day, the Ming Dynasty lost Jian Yi and Li Yuntian, two important ministers who were enough to affect the court situation, which caught Emperor Xuande off guard, and at the same time was extremely sad, especially Li Yuntian's death made him feel mixed in his heart and secretly annoyed.

After all, Li Yuntian served Emperor Xuande for ten years, fought in the south and the north, governed the place, even if there was no merit, there was hard work, Li Yuntian's death immediately evoked many memories of his past events, and also resolved the suspicion in his heart.

After receiving the imperial order of Emperor Xuande, Jin Ying opened the righteous recital and read it in a frustrated manner, and Emperor Xuande couldn't help but feel more bitter in his heart when he listened to it.

Jianyi, who was seriously ill and bedridden, could no longer afford to carry a pen, he first summarized his life's merits and demerits in front of the chapter, and then Yufeng turned to talk about the arquebus case of the Bafang Warehouse.

Jian Yi Laocheng was steady, so naturally he would not comment too much on the case of the Bafang Warehouse in the concerto, but implicitly pointed out that Li Yuntian had said in the court trial that the parts of the arquebus were made by a number of workshops, and the workshop of the Xiaowu Army camp outside the city was only responsible for assembly.

Therefore, if you want to find out the origin of the batch of arquebuses in the Bafang Warehouse, you can go to the workshops that produce the parts to check the records, then you can know how the guns were made, because the strict rules and regulations implemented by the Jiangwutang workshop, the batch of arquebuses will definitely leave clues.

Although Jian Yi did not say it explicitly in the recital, Emperor Xuande knew very well that Jian Yi was euphemistically telling him that Li Yuntian actually had the opportunity to fight back during the court trial, that is, to ask Chen Tai to check the accounts of the arquebus production workshop in Wutang, and Chen Tai could not refuse, so there would be a 180-degree turning point in the arquebus case.

The reason for this is very simple, because the workshops that produce arquebuses are too far away from the capital, and the links and processes of manufacturing arquebuses are complex, involving multiple departments, such as procurement, auditing, etc., so it is impossible to increase the production of those arquebuses without knowing it.

Jian Yi didn't believe that Li Yuntian would increase the production of arquebuses in private, so he could conclude that the arquebuses in the Bafang Warehouse were related to Emperor Xuande, because apart from Li Yuntian, Emperor Xuande was the only person who could avoid Li Yuntian from mobilizing so many firearms.

Therefore, Jian Yi can be sure that the arquebus that appeared in the Bafang Warehouse was transferred by Emperor Xuande from the arquebus workshop of the Xiaowu Army camp outside the city, and it was newly called, otherwise the matter would be exposed once the lecture martial arts carried out the verification in accordance with the regulations.

Although Emperor Xuande can let people fake in the arquebus workshop of the Xiaowu army camp outside the city, he can't go to the workshop that produces arquebus parts in other places to make fraud, because it is easy to leak the news and will also leave a handle, according to the rules and regulations of the martial arts hall, everything related to the arquebus must be recorded accordingly.

In fact, as Jian Yi guessed, the batch of arquebuses in the Bafang Warehouse was transferred by Emperor Xuande by order from the arquebus workshop in the Xiaowu Army camp outside the city, just a few days before the arquebus case in the Bafang Warehouse.

Although Emperor Xuande was able to quietly transfer the batch of arquebuses from the arquebus workshop of the Xiaowu Army camp outside the city, he could not prevent the routine audit of the lecture hall, which involved many factors that could not be implemented without alarming Li Yuntian.

It is worth mentioning that the outside world does not know the process of arquebus production, and does not know that the parts of the arquebus are produced in other places, and the arquebus workshop of the Xiaowu Army camp outside the city is only responsible for assembly, and it is thought that the arquebus is made there.

Therefore, Ah Qiu and Fang Liang, who masterminded the arquebus case of the Bafang Warehouse, did not know the secret story of arquebus manufacturing, so they did not think about how to deal with those out-of-town workshops that made parts.

Moreover, even if the two of them knew the manufacturing process of the arquebus, they could not do anything about those workshops in other places, and the strict rules that Li Yuntian had set for the lecture hall prevented them from wanting to hide from the world.

It is worth mentioning that the person who used Emperor Xuande's edict to transfer the arquebuses from the arquebus workshop in the Xiaowu army camp outside the city was Liang Shaojie, Marquis of Wuping, Liang Shaojie is the third senior general of the Xiaowu Army, and his status in the Xiaowu Army is second only to Li Yuntian and Wang Jian, the prince of Xiaoguo, and his use of those arquebuses will not arouse the suspicion of the workshop master.

Jianyi's recital is to persuade Emperor Xuande to let Li Yuntian have a way to live, because Li Yuntian still maintains the authority of Emperor Xuande even at the moment of life and death.

If Li Yuntian proposes to check the accounts of the workshops related to the manufacture of arquebuses in other places, then a very embarrassing thing will happen at that time, that is, the accounts confiscated by Jinyiwei from the arquebus workshops in the Xiaowu Army camp outside the city do not match the accounts of those workshops in other places, and this will become a big farce for the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, Jianyi can be sure that it is difficult for Emperor Xuande to falsify the accounts of the Naxi workshop, because the Jiangwutang and Xiaowu Army will definitely desperately protect those accounts that can prove Li Yuntian's innocence, and if they don't do it, an armed conflict will break out, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Li Yuntian was obviously aware of this, so he did not ask the arquebus parts manufacturing workshop to check the accounts in the lobby of the Gyeonggi Governor's Palace, but put on a posture of resignation, ready to bear the responsibility for the theft of those arquebuses.

If even Jian Yi could guess that the person who could transfer the arquebuses from the arquebus workshop in the Xiaowu army camp outside the city, which was heavily guarded and strictly regulated, was Emperor Xuande, then Li Yuntian could naturally think of it, so this explains why he did not question how those arquebuses were left from the workshop in the lobby of the Gyeonggi Governor's Palace, but directly assumed the blame.

When Jin Ying finished reading the content of the Jianyi recital, Emperor Xuande's mood had sunk to the bottom.

The so-called authorities were obsessed with bystanders, and Jian Yi's words were like a slap in the face to him, which made him realize that his previous attitude towards Li Yuntian was too extreme, and he convicted Li Yuntian only on the basis of speculation, which in turn caused Li Yuntian to lose his life in the fire of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion.

Although Emperor Xuande is the Son of Heaven and has the power of life and death over the subjects of the Ming Dynasty, Li Yuntian is very special among the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, not only experienced life and death with Emperor Xuande, but also risked his life to fight in the south and the north.

Now, Li Yuntian was suspected by Emperor Xuande without the slightest transgression, and he paid the price of his life for it.

Jin Ying saw Emperor Xuande lying on the bed silent, so he waved his hand at the imperial doctors in the room, and the imperial doctors bowed down and retreated to avoid disturbing Li Yuntian's rest.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!" Soon after several imperial doctors left, Empress Dowager Zhang's Luan drove into the courtyard of the Qianqing Palace, and Empress Dowager Zhang walked into the Dongnuan Pavilion with a cold expression under the support of a eunuch, and the attendant on duty at the door hurriedly shouted at a sharp voice.

"Queen Mother!" Emperor Xuande, who was in deep thought, heard the voice and quickly opened his eyes, struggling to get up and salute Empress Dowager Zhang.

"Your Majesty, you should lie down if you are sick." Empress Dowager Zhang hurriedly walked a few steps to the warm couch, and pressed Emperor Xuande on the bed with a concerned expression, compared with yesterday, Emperor Xuande's complexion was much worse.

"Queen Mother, it seems that I won't be able to delay for a few days, and the prince will ask the queen mother to teach more in the future." A smile appeared on Emperor Xuande's face, and he coughed and said to Empress Dowager Zhang.

"The emperor is the true son of heaven, and he will definitely be able to turn danger into a disaster and live a long life." The look on Empress Dowager Zhang's face darkened, and she opened her mouth to comfort.

"Queen Mother, I know that the Queen Mother blames me for driving my third brother to the domain, and now the situation in the capital is complicated, I have to guard against it." After Emperor Xuande coughed for a while, he looked at Empress Dowager Zhang unapologetically, and the third brother in his mouth naturally referred to King Yue.

"Your Majesty, the mourning family understands the emperor's difficulties, and King Yue is indeed not suitable to stay in the capital." Empress Dowager Zhang smiled disappreciatively when she heard this.

Emperor Xuande knew that Empress Dowager Zhang was comforting him, he was busy with court affairs, and it was usually King Yue who accompanied Empress Dowager Zhang, how could Empress Dowager Zhang be willing to let King Yue go so far away?

"Queen Mother, is the matter of Zhenguo Gong already in the city now?" However, now is not the time to dwell on the affairs of King Yue, Emperor Xuande then remembered one thing, and asked a little bitterly, although Empress Dowager Zhang has lived in the deep palace for a long time, she is very well-informed because of her close relationship with the families of the powerful people in the capital.

"Your Majesty, what's going on with the fire in the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion?" Empress Dowager Zhang bowed slightly when she heard this, even if she denied Emperor Xuande, she would not believe it, and then asked solemnly.

"I don't know who instructed the celebrant to do it, and I'm still investigating." A wry smile flashed at the corner of Emperor Xuande's mouth, I am afraid that now the outside world will definitely think that Li Yuntian was sent by him to get rid of him, which is bound to cause a series of chain reactions in the martial arts hall and the Xiaowu army, which is the scene he is most unwilling to see.

"Does the emperor remember this painting?" Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, she also believed that Emperor Xuande would not do such a stupid thing, and after a while, she asked the two eunuchs to show the peony picture brought by Zhou Yuting in front of Emperor Xuande.

"This is the Zhenguo Duke I gave to before I left the capital for Nanjing, and at that time he was just a superintendent of the imperial history." Emperor Xuande glanced at the peony picture carefully, and looked at the Empress Dowager Zhang with some surprise, "Behind the scenes, how can this painting be here with you?" ”

"It was sent by the county lord Yingrui, and this painting has been hung in the bedroom by the town prince." Empress Dowager Zhang looked at the peony picture and said quietly, "The county lord of Yingrui asks the mourning family to be the master, and he will return the innocence of the Zhenguo Gong in the case of the musket in the Bafang Warehouse, so that he can smile at Jiuquan." ”

"Yes, it's time to return the innocence of the town!" Emperor Xuande's face darkened, and he muttered to himself, this peony picture evoked his memories of the past.

"Your Majesty, the mourning family doesn't believe that Zhenguo Gong has the intention of rebellion, if he has bad intentions, the emperor will not leave the main force of the Xiaowu army by the emperor's side when he drives the northern expedition, and only rushes to Liaodong with 10,000 Xiaowu troops." Empress Dowager Zhang hesitated when she heard this, and slowly said to Emperor Xuande, it was obvious that that would be more conducive to Li Yuntian, who was in military power, to control the situation, but Li Yuntian left the main force of the Xiaowu Army to Emperor Xuande.

In fact, it was precisely because Li Yuntian left the main force of the Xiaowu Army that Emperor Xuande was lucky enough to escape back to the capital, otherwise he would have become a prisoner of Arutai.

Emperor Xuande was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed with a look of annoyance, such a simple truth was ignored by him, if he had thought of this earlier, it would have been great.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Zhang secretly shook her head in her heart, with Emperor Xuande's previous situation, no matter what Li Yuntian did, it would be considered as a bad intention, and there was a plan.

In Empress Dowager Zhang's view, the top priority now is to restore Li Yuntian's innocence as much as possible, and try her best to calm down the impact of this matter, so as not to be used by people with ulterior motives, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
