Chapter 133: Xu Gou'er
Chapter 133: Xu Gou'er
Although Ji Gang is in a confidential place. But there are some things that Ji Gang can't know.
For example, Beijing is in the dark line of Jinyiwei.
It can't even be said to be a dark line.
The internal relationship between Nanjing and Beijing is inherently complicated.
When Zhu Yuanzhang was there, He Xi used the information of Jinyiwei, which was almost no different from using the information of his own home. In this case, how could He Xi have no acquaintances among the Jinyi Guards. In the final analysis, Jinyiwei is Zhu Yuanzhang's Jinyiwei, even after Zhu Yunwen cleaned it, this attribute has been reduced a lot. But that doesn't change that.
Even the more Zhu Yunwen cleansed, the more dissatisfied some people in Jinyiwei were with him.
If Zhu Yunwen keeps being strong, it will be fine.
After all, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and it is nothing more than a few whining words in private. But in today's situation, Jin Yiwei and others understand the collapse of the Nanjing situation better than others.
So, they had other thoughts.
They don't believe in Ji Gang, a young man, they believe in Yao Guangxiao, an old acquaintance.
Yao Guangxiao has also repeatedly confirmed this.
He believed that as long as these old men in brocade clothes were brought over, everything he did in Nanjing City would be difficult for the Nanjing Imperial Court to detect.
Even if it's dangerous, he's going to take a risk.
After all, Yao Guangxiao himself is not a person who is afraid of risks.
-------
Wangjiang Tower.
After Zhu Yuanzhang built Jinling City, he set up 24 stores, among which he was expected to build Jianglou. It is even rumored that Zhu Yuanzhang had a banquet for the prince here.
Although the world is in turmoil, Wangjianglou is still one of the most famous restaurants in Nanjing.
Yao Guangxiao was in the private room of Wangjiang Tower, looking at the rolling Yangtze River. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and a young man of fifteen or sixteen pushed the door open. Although I made a disguise. But Yao Guangxiao could see at a glance that this young man was a eunuch. It's a little eunuch.
Yao Guangxiao said, "Why didn't Xu Bao'er come to see me?"
Xu Bao'er was the little eunuch who followed He Xi at the beginning, and with He Xi out of the palace, he worked as a subordinate in He Mansion for a period of time, but Xu Bao'er's godfather was Xu Zheng, the big eunuch next to Zhu Yuanzhang, and for eunuchs, it was still more promising in the palace.
So, Xu Baoer later returned to the palace and gave Xu Zheng a hand.
With this parting, the relationship between the two sides faded.
The little eunuch whispered, "Mr. Qiyu Yao, slave Xu Gou'er, Xu Bao'er is the little godfather. The godfather is gone."
Yao Guangxiao raised his eyebrows, and there was a sense of crisis in his heart. Xu Bao'er is no longer there. Then there is some danger when he comes over this time. Yao Guangxiao had already made preparations, and when he looked out the window, there was a carriage outside the window. There is a ship on the Yangtze River.
Yao Guangxiao also made a hand and foot on the window, and he could directly drag the rope to fall on the carriage and then board the boat. After waiting for the boat, it is easy to escape when you reach the Yangtze River.
Yao Guangxiao calmed down and said, "What's the matter?"
Xu Gou'er said, "Godfather and Godgrandfather both died some time ago. The one in the palace suddenly summoned the godfather, and then killed the godfather and the godfather. There are a lot of deaths in the palace that have a relationship with them."
Yao Guangxiao just knew that after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Xu Zheng went to guard Zhu Yuanzhang's spirit. It's just that I never thought that I would end up like this.
The famous eunuch back then, even the head of the eunuchs who had to give three points of courtesy, died so quietly.
In fact, this is all Zhu Yunwen's suspicion of Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement back then. But Xu Zheng couldn't give him an answer.
Zhu Yuanzhang can deceive everyone, but he may not be able to deceive Xu Zheng, the person around him.
But the question is, what about telling Zhu Yunwen?
Can Zhu Yunwen spare him?
Xu Zheng understands one thing very well, after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, every day he lives, this day is earned. Because he knows so much. He could only pray, and all had no idea what he knew.
Once whoever has an idea. What awaits him is nothing but a dead end.
The difference is just how to die.
Xu Zheng had already been mentally prepared.
And Zhu Yuanzhang's personality charm cannot be ignored, if Zhu Yuanzhang can't make people willing to die, then he is not Zhu Yuanzhang. It doesn't matter if he lives or dies.
For Xu Zheng, whether he betrays Zhu Yuanzhang or not, he will die. Why betray Zhu Yuanzhang. Let yourself not be happy inside.
Zhu Yunwen's purge of Xu Zheng. It's not so much a purge as it is a vent of anger. Angry. Just like Zhu Yunwen's methods of cutting the vassal kings in history, they were too ruthless. It can hardly be said to be a purely political purpose.
And for no other reason.
Yao Guangxiao asked, "Why are you okay?"
Xu Gou'er said, "Godfather has long been worried that something will happen. So he gave me such a name, and asked me not to be ostentatious, and the one in the palace did not know my relationship with my godfather."
Yao Guangxiao was silent for a moment, he didn't know whether to trust Xu Gou'er or not.
Xu Gou'er said, "Please rest assured, the one in the palace is perverse in the palace, and the queen mother is even more greedy. There are not one or two people in the palace who are not pleasing to the eye. I don't represent myself. I just hope that when the imperial army comes to the city in the future, I will give these poor people in the palace a way out."
A lot of what Xu Gou'er said is true.
The Empress Dowager Lu in the palace is really unsuitable for many people in the palace.
Without him, Queen Ma was in the palace before, and the rules in the palace were strict, but it was just strict.
Zhu Yuanzhang is the most important rule. Whether it is in the army or in the palace, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhu Yuanzhang is a military rule of law. And Queen Ma is generous and open-minded, with her presiding over the feed, she does not show favoritism. But it is not deliberately embarrassing.
Queen Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang both came up from the bottom.
It is able to understand the hardships of the lower classes.
Today's Empress Dowager Lu is different.
The scholarly family, from the Song Dynasty to the present, are all famous families, and they also talk about rules. But their rules are different from the rules formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang formulated rules, which is nothing more than no rules. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang's palace also cuckolded Zhu Yuanzhang, how could it not be strictly rectified. And Empress Dowager Lu's style of acting is completely different from that of Queen Ma.
If Queen Ma is right, then Empress Dowager Lu is right. In her hands, the rules in the palace are used to rectify people who don't like her. If you don't like it, I'll give you rules. And the celebrities around the Queen Mother, no rules are rules.
In fact, this is the norm of feudal society. It is also the norm of Confucianism. In a word, the law is used to govern people, not to govern me.
In the Hongwu Dynasty, the palace rules are strict, but the terms are so placed, as long as they are not violated, there will be no problems, but in the Jianwen Dynasty, it has become unknowable, and the palace rules are still there, but whether to treat or not depends on the need.
In this case, the people in the palace will naturally not be satisfied.
But if it weren't for the fact that the situation was becoming more and more difficult, these people were the most well-informed in the palace, and they had a glimpse of the decline in Nanjing. I wouldn't make that choice.
Yao Guangxiao pondered for a moment and said, "I am deeply saddened by the passing of the old man, and I will not talk about other things today." Yao Guangxiao then poured a glass of wine on the ground and said, "Just invite the old man to have a drink."
Xu Gou'er said: "Don't worry, Lord Yao, my godfather's connections have been left to me, and there are many uncles who secretly support me, and I can do what my father can do." Please also ask Lord Yao to give me a chance."
Yao Guangxiao said, "Okay. Then give you a chance. In the next month, I will do a big thing in Nanjing, you let Jinyiwei press down, no matter what reason you find, in short, you must press down."
Yao Guangxiao had been prepared for this matter for a long time.
In fact, he is not afraid that Jinyiwei will find out, after all, Wei Guogong and Cao Guogong are going to take the blame, even if they find out, it is just a foolish thing that these two families have done to make money. Zhu Yunwen decided not to uproot the two princes at this time.
Just some limitations naturally
There are still.
It is also difficult for Yao Guangxiao to use these two princes to do other things.
With the brocade guard to block it, it is very likely that these two chess pieces can be used in more critical positions. Let's also test whether Xu Gouer can do anything. Or maybe there is someone behind Xu Gou'er.
Xu Gou'er didn't think about it so much, and agreed to come down.
