Chapter 6 White Bone Mystery Case 6

Qin Tai's words were even more powerful than thousands of troops, and the leader of the forbidden army was already so frightened that he couldn't speak. Especially in the last few sentences, every word is pressed down like a big stone. Treason is a capital crime, and the whole family will be beheaded together, and they will be hunted down by the court for generations. If you want to be an emperor, it is even more fatal, that is, if you rebel, not only to destroy the nine clans, but also to record the annals of history and leave a lasting infamy. These two choices, even if you are a fool, do not do it.

Seeing that he had frightened the leader, Qin Tai said to the forbidden army behind him, "Who are you?" Is it the Praetorian Army defending the Crown? Is it the Emperor's Guard? You have heard, your sir, no, I should say the words of the former chief. He said that he was a prisoner, and that he was a prisoner who was going to die immediately. Then he is either a traitor or a great rebel who is quite an emperor. Are you complicit? Want to be traitors or rebels together? If you don't want to, why don't you take down this sinner for the emperor? According to the Ming Law, those who harbor or connive at criminals are regarded as accomplices in this case and are accomplices. The one who wants to be beheaded with this criminal is going to be involved in harming the whole family. ”

The forbidden army was dumbfounded, didn't they want to arrest Qin Tai and the two of them? How did they become the commander who wanted to help Qin Tai catch himself?

The leader of the forbidden army was in a hurry and said, "Don't listen to this person's gossip to confuse the public. You also heard that it was Xiao Meng's father-in-law who asked him to do this. It's not my own decision. I'm not a traitor or a rebel. Brothers, on. Take them and take them to Gonggong Meng to receive their reward. ”

Qin Tai saw that the forbidden army was moving again, so he said again: "Have you thought it through? Did the so-called little Father-in-law Meng do this on the orders of Father-in-law Meng? Or is it Xiao Meng's own meaning? Besides, did little Father-in-law Meng give you a written order? When the time comes, don't say that Xiao Meng's father-in-law doesn't admit it, even if he admits it, is there any evidence? Again, this official is an official of the imperial court, not a person in the inner palace, and even if Gonggong Meng is ********, he cannot convict this official. If he dares, he is a traitor or a rebel. You are accomplices, accomplices of criminals. You didn't know it before, but now the official has said it. If you are messing with these people and doing this kind of thing, you are knowingly committing a crime. Not only does the sin increase to the first degree, but it also involves the whole family, and even the whole clan. Do you have to think clearly, do it or don't do it? This is only one chance, and it's too late to miss anything. ”

Zhan Xiaoxiao saw that the forbidden army was a little hesitant, so he said, "Who are you?" It is a forbidden army, not a slave of a eunuch. Without the emperor's order, without a military order, why should you be afraid of these eunuchs. Why do they command you? This in itself is a transgression, an act of committing a capital offense. Although I am not a Ming soldier, I am also a warrior. We are here to serve the country, not to be slaves to eunuchs. I am not only the wife of this lord, but also his assistant. The reason why I am willing to follow adults is because I can do things for the people of the world. You may have heard of the name of my family, he is Qin Tai. My name is Zhan Xiaoxiao, and I am an adult's bodyguard. I once went to the battlefield and killed a few Japanese robbers. ”

After the forbidden army listened to Zhanxiao's words, almost all of them put away their weapons. Even the leader of the Praetorian Army put his saber back in its scabbard. It can be seen that Zhan's small words have already made this group of soldiers figure it out and believe in Qin Tai and his wife.

A forbidden army came out and said in Hokkien dialect: "It turned out to be Lord Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxia." If you don't say it earlier, it's fine. My name is Lin Cong, my home is in Fujian, and my family now lives in Quanzhou. You are the ones who saved my family, our reborn parents. Since you left, our family has written to us, all the soldiers, officials, and businessmen, asking about your whereabouts. The family has spoken, you and your family are our eternal benefactors. Your business is the business of our people in Fujian, not only to help you, but also to protect you. ”

For the first time, Qin Tai knew that the villagers in Fujian had made such a decision, which was tantamount to announcing that everyone fully supported and supported Qin Tai, forcing the imperial court and everyone not to dare to do anything to Qin Tai and his party.

Lin Cong, a soldier of the forbidden army, turned around and said to his own people: "Han Lu, you are also from Fujian, didn't you also receive such a letter?" Tang Chu, although you are not from Fujian, but your wife is from Fujian, right? Can we do it to our benefactors? Can you watch your benefactor go to death? Xiao Wu, Lao Ding, we are brothers in life and death, Lord Qin Tai is my benefactor, our great benefactor in Fujian, and a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, what do you do? ”

At this time, the leader said, "Okay, don't talk about it. Lord Qin Tai, let's go. Although I am not from Fujian, my parents died at the hands of the Japanese and my home was destroyed at the hands of the Japanese invaders. Just because you and your wife have done, I will do it to you. I and my men will protect you from the way. Lin Cong, take Han Lu and a few adults out. I and the others left behind the people who delayed Gonggong Meng. As long as he left the palace, Lord Qin Tai would not know what to say. We're going to kill all the people who know about it, and no one will know about it. ”

Qin Tai shook his head and said, "You can't do this. When he came in, he not only signed, but also left evidence. These things should be in the other party's hands now, and I can't rely on them. But you can rest assured, I won't have anything to do. And this official, I want to rectify the inner palace and make these arrogant eunuchs obedient. ”

The forbidden army didn't believe it, and even Zhan Xiaoxiao was a little worried. But Qin Tai is very sure, which reassures everyone.

Qin Tai said: "Captain, do you know that there is a place to worship the emperors of the past dynasties? Whether it's a spiritual position, or a portrait. Not only quickly, but also immediately. ”

The captain understood what Qin Tai meant, and everyone went to a place together. At this time, Zhan Xiaoxiao secretly said a few words to Lin Cong, and Lin Cong left everyone alone. Not long after, just as everyone arrived at a palace that was not too big, Lin Cong arrived with some things. It turned out that he took Zhan Xiaoxiao's soft sword back, which was also Zhan Xiaoxiao's order. With this soft sword in hand, Zhan Xiaoxiao is not afraid of anyone. Even if there are big internal masters, Zhan Xiaoxiao can deal with one or two masters.

Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao walked into this hall, and the forbidden army did not dare to enter. Because it enshrines the portraits and spiritual seats of the previous emperors, it is the place where Emperor Jiajing worships his ancestors on the fifteenth day of the first month. However, Emperor Jiajing was not too enthusiastic, because he believed in Taoism and practiced the art of immortality. Generally speaking, it is very sloppy to support the ancestors, either not to come or to let the eunuchs do it for them. People outside even said that Emperor Jiajing was unwilling to worship the two first emperors, so he didn't go to worship his ancestors.

Anyone who knows the history of the Ming Dynasty knows that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were all very problematic. The founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang obviously worked as a monk and a beggar, but he didn't let everyone talk about it. At one time, Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Hongwu, was very taboo about monks and beggars and related things, which caused a ** and harmed many scholars. Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously ugly, but he did not allow the painter to scandalize him, and painted a standard painting that did not look like his own for the world to see.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son, the crown prince Zhu Biao, died early, the matter of the heir to the throne was hesitant many times, and finally Zhu Yuanzhang decided to make his eldest grandson Zhu Yunwen the next emperor. Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen is not good enough, nor is he a faint monarch, but he has two drawbacks. First, he has a group of uncles who are both ambitious and powerful, and they are eyeing their throne. Second, he overly believed in and relied on the literati around him. Literati are sometimes prone to impulsiveness and radicalism, and they have empty thoughts and ideas, but they do not know how to deal with them in accordance with the actual situation. They constantly instigated Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen to attack his uncles, not only forced these already restless vassal kings, but also gave Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen a wrong analysis. Because he despised the strength of the other party and overestimated his own strength, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, led a large army to capture the capital of Nanjing at that time. Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen had no choice but to go away and become a fallen emperor.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, seized the country of his nephew Zhu Yunwen and proclaimed himself Emperor Yongle of Ming Chengzu. There are many comments on Zhu Di, some people say that he is cruel and unkind, some people say that he does not recognize his six relatives, and some people say that he is a generation of commanders, and only in this way can he inherit Zhu Yuanzhang's career. But Ming Chengzu Zhu Di also did a lot of good things, first of all, he sent Zheng He to the West, although he secretly found and executed Zhu Yunwen, but also opened up the navigation and overseas business of the Daimyo. Second, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di rectified the inner palace and made many decisions that affected future generations, nipped some future troubles in the bud. Third, he established the centralization of imperial power for future generations of emperors, so as not to influence the decisions of the central government and the emperor by the vassal kings. Fourth, the capital was moved to Beijing, a magnificent imperial city was established, and the situation in the north was stabilized. Fifth, the revision of the "Yongle Canon" left an important book for posterity.

Renzong Zhu Gaochi is the eldest son of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, who is humble and filial piety, and is a good emperor who speaks widely. Although he has only been the emperor for one year, he has played a big role. He not only eased the contradictions between civilian and military officials, but also made up for almost all the losses caused by years of war. But the literati had a way out, and the generals were willing to defend the border with peace of mind, and there was a scene of peace in the world. It's a pity that this Renzong Zhu Gaochi is not in good health, and he has been the prince for nearly 20 years, although he can accept government affairs smoothly, but he does not have a good body. Legend has it that Zhu Gaochi loves sweets and has long had a chronic disease called thirst quenching disease. When Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was there, he often reprimanded this son for food. But after Zhu Di's death, no one could restrain Zhu Gaochi's diet, and his condition worsened and he died in less than a year.
