The night is quiet, and now the curfew has been lifted in the capital of Daming, and after the night comes, the market is still very lively.

On both sides of Zhengdongfang Street are a number of wealthy mansions, dozens of hundreds of mansions were built here in the Ming Dynasty for rewarding nobles, among which the Hou Mansion of the Marquis of Funing is located here.

This is not to say that all the nobles will have a house in the capital, this depends on the actual situation, after all, the nobles also have a place to serve, such as serving as a commander or something, these nobles have been in the place for a long time, and they can't get the emperor's trust, so even if the capital has a house, it will be taken back.

The last time he immigrated, hundreds of clans and nobles were migrated to Western Europe, and those mansions in the capital that migrated away were naturally nationalized by Zhu Houwei.

The Marquis of Funing was not in the first batch of migration, and Zhu Yong, the grandfather of Zhu Qi, the Marquis of Funing, was originally only a Bo of Funing, but because of his outstanding merits, he was promoted to the Marquis of Funing after suppressing the rebellion of the Jingxiang exiles in the early years of Chenghua, and in the fifteenth year of Chenghua, he led his troops to the east to conquer the Jurchens of Jianzhou, and his military exploits were brilliant and he was directly promoted to become the Duke of Baoguo.

After Zhu Yong's death, he chased the king of Xuanping, which shows how much the royal family loves Zhu Yong, after Zhu Yong's death, his son Zhu Hui became the Duke of Baoguo, and was blessed by the shadow of his son, and he was the Duke of Baoguo until his death.

Don't think this is very strange, you must know that this itself is unusual, because Zhu Yong was promoted from the earl to the marquis by virtue of his military merits, but his earl is hereditary, the marquis is not, but in the third year of Chenghua, Zhu Yong led the army to resist the invasion of the Mongolian Maoli child and A Luo, and the merits were good, so the title of the Marquis of Funing was hereditary, but then he was promoted to the Duke of Baoguo, and the title of the Duke of this country was not hereditary, that is to say, after Zhu Yong died, Zhu Hui could only attack the title of Marquis of Funing, not the Duke of Baoguo.

But the royal love, don't say it, but after Zhu Hui died, in the seventh year of Zhengde, Zhu Qi attacked the lord, and Zhu Houwei, who was in charge of the country at the time, directly deprived the Duke of Baoguo and let Zhu Qi attack the Marquis of Funing.

But since Zhu Qi attacked the marquis, he has been dissatisfied with Zhu Houwei, but he has nowhere to vent.

At this time, in the secret passage of the Funing Marquis Mansion, there was a middle-aged man sitting opposite Zhu Qi with a sad face, and the man was also a nobleman, it was Jiang Rong, the Marquis of Dingxi.

Jiang Rong and Zhu Qi's situation is actually similar, Jiang Ei's grandfather Jiang Wan, is a Pingqiang general, garrisoning Nanjing, managing the military capital of the Governor's Mansion, the prince Taibao is also the prince, and he died to chase the Duke of Liangguo, and he is also a prominent mess, and he is a noble figure who is more respected by the royal family among the nobles of the Ming Dynasty.

After Jiang Wan's death, his son Jiang Ji attacked the Marquis of Dingxi, and Jiang Ji died in the fourth year of Zhengde, and Jiang Rong attacked the lord, which is a normal progression, that is to say, Jiang Rong did not have any resentment towards the royal family.

But Jiang Rong and Zhu Qi have a very good relationship, they belong to the old friends who grew up together in the capital since childhood, and Jiang Rong has little head, so he got on Zhu Qi's thief ship!

Yes, the assassination of Emperor Jiajing was the handiwork of Zhu Qi, Marquis of Funing, and Jiang Rong, Marquis of Dingxi.

Zhu Qi is the mastermind, Jiang Rong is an accomplice, the reason why Zhu Qi wants to assassinate Zhu Houwei is also very simple, first of all, he is dissatisfied that he did not inherit the title of Duke of Baoguo, and secondly, he is in crisis!

Emperor Jiajing moved Xungui overseas, which is equivalent to single-handedly ruining Xungui's foundation in the Ming Dynasty, and in the face of the extremely powerful Jiajing Emperor, even the founding heroes of Wei Guogong and Chengguo Gong can only accept it obediently, they are a fart.

But it doesn't count, if you don't accept it, Zhu Qi is not reconciled, so she decided to take a risk!

As a nobleman, raising a family is not a matter at all in Daming, as for the dead, which family has no loyal dead!

In Zhu Qi's view, this assassination using dead soldiers, suicide attacks with dead soldiers and explosives packs, is almost completely sure and without a little surprise.

At that time, as soon as Emperor Jiajing died, it didn't matter if the Ming Dynasty was chaotic or not, the main thing was that the new policy after Emperor Jiajing succeeded to the throne would inevitably die, and naturally, they would not have to cross the ocean to go overseas.

In the final analysis, Zhu Qi didn't believe Zhu Houwei's rhetoric at all, what overseas is full of gold and silver, what slaves are too many to count, how can he deceive a three-year-old child?

However, the assassination of the emperor is a major event, Zhu Qi has this idea and this courage, but in the final analysis, he still has some lack of confidence, so he pulled Jiang Rong into the gang, the two have been good brothers since childhood, Jiang Rong also admires his brother, so he was also indignant after being fooled, and found three loyal soldiers from the Dingxi Hou Mansion to serve as dead soldiers among the families raised in the countryside and joined the operation.

The two felt that it was impossible to have an accident, after all, they were dead soldiers, and even if Jiajing escaped by a suicide attack, where to find a few dead corpses in the vast sea of people, they were all hidden households, and there was no place to check.

But people are not as good as heaven, the accident still happened after all, Emperor Jiajing's special carriage directly blocked the explosion of the explosive package, so Emperor Jiajing was unscathed, and the seven dead soldiers were mistaken, and there was even one alive!

Such a result was something that Zhu Qi and Jiang Rong never dreamed of, but now that the emperor is not dead, the dead man has been imprisoned......

The two of them only felt that the sky had fallen, and they were in constant fear every day, just hoping that the dead soldier who was captured alive would grit his teeth and survive the torture of the edict.

The two were frightened and ready to run away at any time, and even planned to expect the emperor to send another batch of nobles to sea after Gu Hou returned, however, Gu Hou went to sea again without bringing the clan or nobles......

In this way, several months have passed, and there has been no movement, but the two are also afraid that the emperor is trying to lure the snake out of the hole, so they have not dared to ask, there has been no news for a few months, and the two of them only died in the edict as dead soldiers, and a long-hanging heart slowly fell.

What about assassinating the emperor, even if Jiajing is sure that this matter must have been done by the clan or the nobles, what about the evidence? Without evidence, could it be that Jiajing dared to kill all the nobles and clans of the entire Ming Dynasty?

The headless public case is just ......

But soon......

To tell the truth, Jiang Ei is still a conscientious person, and promised the dead soldiers that as long as they go to assassinate the emperor, whether they succeed or not, he will treat their families well, and although Zhu Qi also promised, he still planned to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and later gave up at Jiang Ei's insistence.

It's not that Zhu Qi is benevolent, but I think what Jiang Ei said is reasonable, Jiang Ei means that the emperor's ears and eyes are all over the world, at this time, if you destroy the seven dead soldiers, I'm afraid you can't escape the emperor's heavenly eye, in case the emperor takes this as a clue and touches the melon, maybe he can find the clue!

It can be seen from this that Jiang Rong is definitely not a stupid person, he asks everything to be as usual, if it weren't for the psychological defense of the dead man, then this case may really become a headless public case!
