Chapter 27: The Death of Duke Wei (9)



"That was after I had a fight with Du Feng in Danling County, Sichuan, my wife saved me, I went back to the capital with Yun'er, and I saw you in Xiangyang, and I saw Dai Xingcheng's dead ghost in Julong Mountain, and followed him all the way to the capital, and saw him enter the Wei Mansion, from then on we began to suspect Xu Dabeard, and then I went to eavesdrop, only to hear that the Wei Mansion is indeed a person from the Tianyi League, and then I also figured out that the Qingcheng faction's 'Ruyi Divine Sword' Yu Shixiong is the leader of the Tianyi Alliance." Zhu Wenyu recalled.

"Exactly, Brother Zhu, it took us a lot of work and many twists and turns to find out that Wei Guogong might be related to the Tianyi Alliance, and this is because I have been dealing with the Tianyi Alliance. The emperor is in the deep palace, how many major events do you have to deal with every day? How could he know about these things between Wei Guogong and the Tianyi Alliance? ”

"How can the emperor do these things himself? As long as he says a word, how many people help him find out the news? What's not to know about this? "Iron beggar dragon" Zhou Yuan carried it.

"But no matter how many spies there are, they haven't fought face-to-face with the Tianyi Alliance like we do, and it's hard to get more detailed information than we know." The desert is slow.

"This ......" Zhou Yuan was also speechless for a while.

"And most importantly, the point." The desert is abrupt again.

"What?" Zhu Wenyu and the three of them asked in unison.

"Brother Zhu is the person who was ordered by the emperor to deal with the Tianyi League, and the emperor wants to deal with the Tianyi League, it is impossible not to tell Brother Zhu, either listen to Brother Zhu and tell him about the news of the Tianyi League, or tell Brother Zhu that he will deal with Wei Guogong directly, and Brother Zhu doesn't have to bother to investigate the matter of the Tianyi League. Even if the matter is urgent and not informed, but today's Wei Guogong's three sevens have passed, and it has been more than 20 days, so why should the emperor talk to Brother Zhu about this, but so far there is still no news at all. "The desert said coldly.

"Hey, I said eagle, you can just say what you mean, you say that my head is too big to say so much." Zhu Wenyu raised his hand with a bitter face.

"I want to say that even if the emperor wants to give death to the Duke of Wei, it can't be because of the Tianyi Alliance!" The desert cuts through the railway.

The three of them were shocked when they heard this. "So what?" Zhou Yuan couldn't help but speak.

"If the emperor did not give Xu Da death because of the matter between Wei Guogong and Tianyi Alliance, then two things can be certain. First: We still haven't figured out what the relationship between the Tianyi Alliance and Wei Guogong is, and without more circumstantial evidence from the emperor's side, we still only have the news we knew before, and we still can't conclude whether Wei Guogong and the Tianyi Alliance have anything to do with it. Second: Since the emperor did not kill Xu Da because of the Tianyi Alliance, and he did not even have two sons, and he would not implicate other people at will, I am afraid that the forces of the Tianyi Alliance such as Mr. You will still be rampant, and we must deal with it seriously......"

The desert was being analyzed one by one, and suddenly Xiao Gaozi hurriedly ran over: "Young master, young master......

"What's like fire burning your ass?" Zhu Wenyu said impatiently.

"Less...... Young Master, Jin ...... Commander of the Jinyi Guard...... The commander asked Lord He to see him. Xiao Gaozi stammered as he handed over a name sticker.

Zhu Wenyu lived in this mansion, except for the first time when the guards and friends came to gamble and eat and drink, and then it was the "Thunder Swordsman" Nangong Ling who set up a spirit in the mansion, and there were many officials who worshipped, and then Zhu Wenyu went out of Beijing to the Nangong family in Shandong, and then he was rarely at home, and the last time he returned to Beijing, he only stayed for less than a month, and there were very few guests in this mansion on weekdays. What's more, at this time, the sky has completely darkened, it is in the mansion of other officials, it stands to reason that there are very few guests coming to the door at this time, and today Zhu Wenyu just returned home, there were actually visitors who came to the door to ask to see, and he was also the top boss of the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he had only heard the name of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, He Wencan, who had never dealt with him? Zhu Wenyu Desert and the others looked at each other, and they couldn't understand for a while why this Lord He suddenly came to the door at this time, and what could Zhu Wenyu have to say to him?

After being stunned for a moment, Zhu Wenyu reacted and hurriedly shouted: "Please please, Xiao Gaozi, please, serve tea and tea." ”

"Let's get out of the way." Desert hurriedly got up. Because he didn't know what He Wencan meant, and he was a court official of Jinyiwei, the two Nangong Ling in the desert had no fame, and Zhou Yuan was an old man, so it was not convenient to be there.

"Well, you can get to the back room, it's fine." Zhu Wenyu raised his hand.

After a while, Xiao Gaozi really led a person in, only to see that the person was of medium height, dressed in an ordinary long robe, white and clean, at a glance he was an ordinary scribe, there was no peculiarity, it can be said that if he walked on the street during the day, no one would notice him, who would have thought that this is the current emperor Zhu Yuanzhang in front of the red man, following Zhu Yuanzhang for many years, specializing in probing news and collecting enemy information, in the court are the famous capital defense commander, Jinyi Guard Commander He Wencan He Lord?

"Master Zhu, He took the liberty to ask to see him, but it was really disturbing." I saw that He Wencan saw Zhu Wenyu and hugged his fists with a smile.

"Don't dare, Lord He, you are my top boss, it should be me who asks to see you, it's really a sin to let Lord He deign to come to my humble house, Amitabha, please come in." Zhu Wenyu said with a signature grin.

"Hahahaha, Master Zhu is really funny." He Wencan laughed and said: "Although He and Lord Zhu have never met, they have been friends for a long time. Lord Zhu has lived in the inner court for many years, and he is a very favored person in today's saints, how dare he call himself Lord Zhu's constitution? You and I are just working on errands in the same dynasty and doing a good job as the emperor's messenger together. ”

The two looked at each other and laughed, and Zhu Wenyu also felt that this person was bold, not as cold and silent as King Yan, and quite suitable for his own appetite.

The two sat down in the hall. "Lord Zhu just returned to Beijing today, right?" He Wencan said casually while brushing the tea foam in the bowl.

"Yes, how did Lord He know?" Zhu Wenyu was surprised.

"After that, I went to the Wei State Mansion?"

"Hehe, Lord He is powerful, and he can't hide his eyes from every move." Zhu Wenyu seemed to remember at this time that the ordinary-looking He Wencan in front of him was the commander of Jinyiwei, and one of the important responsibilities of Jinyiwei was to supervise the changes of the government and the opposition in the capital, but it can be said that there is nothing in the capital that can hide from him He Wencan, Zhu Wenyu, as the deputy commander, is also a celebrity around Zhu Yuanzhang, and his whereabouts are naturally what He Wencan cares about. Zhu Wenyu thought that someone was secretly spying on his every move, and a trace of discomfort surged in his heart.

"Hehe, I don't know what news Lord Zhu found out about the Duke of Wei's mansion?" He Wencan put down the tea bowl and looked at Zhu Wenyu.

"Ah...... What news do you want to see? Zhu Wenyu didn't react for a while.

"Hehe, Lord Zhu doesn't have to hide it, this time Lord Zhu went to the Wei State Mansion, there are two other things, one is that the original emperor handed over to Lord Zhu to investigate the matter of the Tianyi Alliance, I think this matter has nothing to do with Wei Guogong, then it can only be another thing, that is the cause of Wei Guogong's death, but I don't know if Lord Zhu has heard some news?"

"Hehe, Lord He knows it very well." Zhu Wenyu sneered.

"The emperor is also very concerned about the cause of Wei Guogong's death." He Wencan knew that this Zhu Wenyu was also a celebrity in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and with his decades of experience in following Zhu Yuanzhang, he naturally would not easily get into trouble with Zhu Wenyu, pretending not to hear the sarcasm in Zhu Wenyu's words, but continued to say to himself: "Originally, the emperor thought that Wei Guogong died due to a recurrence of back disease, but there were various rumors in the government and the public and the market, saying that Wei Guogong was given death by the emperor, and the emperor was very angry about this, so He Mou came to investigate the real cause of Wei Guogong's death, and secondly, to trace the source of the rumors. Strictly deal with those who spread rumors and cause trouble and disrupt the DPRK. Since we are like the eyes and ears of the emperor, it is our duty to make such a difference. As soon as Lord Zhu returned to Beijing today, he went to the Mansion of the Duke of Wei to worship the spirit, presumably he also had some doubts about the cause of the death of the Duke of Wei, and went in for nearly an hour, so he took the liberty to come to the door to ask for advice, and wanted to ask Lord Zhu what news he had heard, and hoped that Lord Zhu would not hesitate to give advice. ”

Zhu Wenyu heard He Wencan say the first few sentences, and thought that this was just the emperor's uncle in the palace who didn't want anyone to know about the death of Xu Da and pretended to investigate, but the more he heard about it, the more strange he became, listening to what He Wencan said, Zhu Yuanzhang really didn't know the cause of Xu Da's death, wasn't it a holy decree from him to give the death of the Duke of Wei? Zhu Wenyu couldn't help but ask: "The emperor ordered Lord He to carefully investigate the cause of Wei Guogong's death?" ”

"Exactly, it is also one thing to strictly investigate the people who spread rumors, but the emperor is obviously most concerned about how those rumors will appear, whether there is something strange about the cause of Wei Guogong's death, and strictly order He to investigate and deal with it as soon as possible."

The news of "Oh ......" was a big surprise, and Zhu Wenyu couldn't help but groan.

"He Mou served as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and most of the officials in Beijing knew that it was inconvenient for He Mou to come forward to investigate many things, and I am afraid that he would not be able to find out any useful news. Lord Zhu was very familiar with the Duke of Wei when he was in the inner court, and when he went to the Duke of Wei Mansion today, he would definitely get something, but I don't know if Lord Zhu would be convenient to tell He, or if he would enter the palace tomorrow and report directly to the emperor? He Wencan asked tentatively. If this is said to other officials, even if the other party is a first-class official in the DPRK and China, I am afraid that he will obediently tell the truth, after all, the power of Jinyiwei led by He Wencan has developed rapidly in recent years, and he has become a cronie among Zhu Yuanzhang's cronies. But in the face of Zhu Wenyu, firstly, although He Wencan had spent a little energy paying attention to him in the past, after all, he had never dealt with him, and he didn't know his temperament, and secondly, he had already known that he had a close relationship with the emperor, and he dared to call him "Uncle Emperor" in person, and he was only afraid that he was not under him, and he was definitely a character who could not be easily offended, so he begged for words, and he was not sure whether Zhu Wenyu would tell him.

How could Zhu Wenyu turn so many thoughts? Just thinking about the things in front of him, sure enough, after pondering for a while, Zhu Wenyu spoke: "Lord He, I really don't want to go, there are too many things involved in the matter of Wei Guogong, and I can't say it clearly for a while, so let's enter the palace tomorrow and report directly to the emperor's uncle." Why don't we enter the palace together tomorrow? Discuss this matter with the emperor's uncle? ”

He Wencan hurriedly stood up: "Don't dare, don't dare, He naturally entered the palace with Lord Zhu, but he must not deserve the word 'discussion', the emperor is wise and martial, we just need to listen to the orders of Lord Banzai." ”

"Hehe, what's this? There are some things I don't understand, but it's always better to have one more person, right? The emperor has taken care of so much, and I still have to ask Lord He for advice on many things. As soon as Zhu Wenyu said this, He Wencan felt that he was even more unfathomable, listening to him say that the emperor was really the same as talking about his own uncle, his tone was so relaxed, how did he know that this Zhu Wenyu had such a tone since he was born in his mother's womb? I thought it must be something to worry about, what is the relationship between Zhu Wenyu and the emperor? To what extent does the emperor favor him? He Wencan himself suddenly felt incomprehensible. Seeing that Zhu Wenyu was determined to talk about it until tomorrow, he was afraid that he would not be able to find out any news, and it would not be interesting to stay any longer, so he hugged his fist at Zhu Wenyu: "That is the case, I will wait for the two of you to enter the palace tomorrow and face the saint directly." Today, Lord Zhu has just returned to Beijing from afar, so He Mou will not disturb Lord Zhu to rest and leave. ”

"Why don't you sit down? Then Lord He is easy to go. Little Takako! Where did the death go? Come and send off Lord Ho. Zhu Wenyu was also eager to send He Wencan away, so that he could discuss with the desert and others, so he no longer stayed in vain, and hurriedly asked Xiao Gaozi to send off the guests.

When did He Wencan go in and out of other officials' mansions when was he not personally sent out by the owner? But his deputy, Lord Zhu, came to such a set, He Wencan not only did not get angry, but he was even more vigilant, and he couldn't figure out the details of Zhu Wenyu, and uncharacteristically turned around and hugged his fists, and even said, "Don't send it, don't send it." "Get out of the house.

"What's wrong?" As soon as He Wencan walked out of the mansion, Zhu Wenyu asked without looking back. This was naturally asked by Nangong Ling, Zhou Yuan and others in the desert next door.

"Listening to the tone of this Lord He, the emperor doesn't know how Wei Guogong died, is this just the emperor pretending to be a gesture of ignorance?" Nangong Ling said as he walked out.

"I think it means this, this kind of thief shouting to catch a thief has always been seen by Hanako, and it is not strange that the emperor Lao'er occasionally plays with this hand." Zhou Yuan grinned.

"Hey, hey, hey, the stinky old man is called Hanako, what's the matter with the emperor is also my uncle, is it okay to save some face and some morality? Uncle is a thief, what has become of me, young master? Isn't that scolding me for being a thief? Zhu Wenyu deliberately rolled his eyes and said.

"Hehe, stinky boy, it's cheaper to say that you are a thief, Tang Yun Maya's two big girls have stolen it for you, I think it's almost the same as a flower thief."

"Yes, you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, you are so poor that you can't please your wife, so you can say Master Ben, and Maya will be happy to follow me, what's wrong? Hungry for your stinky old man called Hanako! Ha ha. Zhu Wenyu couldn't help laughing as he spoke.

"By the way, when will Miss Tang and Miss Maya arrive in Beijing?" Nangong Ling asked.

"I don't know this, it will take three or five days, from Yueyang, they take the waterway, slowly."

"Didn't the Duke of Wei die from the emperor?" The desert didn't notice that Zhu and the two of them laughed at each other and dismantled the stage, and muttered.

When the desert was said, Zhu Erren suddenly quieted down. "How so? Sand Boy? Zhou Yuan asked.

"Before Lord He entered the mansion, Brother Zhu mentioned that in the words of Xu Ergongzi of the Duke of Wei, the so-called emperor gave death only because what was given was a steamed goose, and the emperor and the Duke of Wei were both from Haozhou, and Haozhou had this tradition. According to Lord Xu, the holy decree only said that the banquet was shared, and nothing else was mentioned. If this steamed goose is indeed given by the emperor himself, it must indeed mean death. But what if the emperor doesn't know what he gives? Isn't that the emperor didn't mean to give death to the Duke of Wei? ”

"Impossible! I have been in the palace for so long, what is to be given that was not personally designated by the emperor's uncle, how dare others order this for the uncle? What's more, it was given to Xu Dabeard? Of course, the uncle said that he would give whichever he wanted. Zhu Wenyu shook his head again and again.

"So the steamed goose was indeed given by the emperor? Then it is indeed the intention of death, this is strange, why does the emperor want any adult to inquire about the cause of Wei Guogong's death? "I can't figure it out about the desert.

"I said that it was a thief who shouted to catch a thief." Zhou Yuan interjected on the side.

"Stinky old called flowers, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!" Zhu Wenyu shook off angrily and fell into deep thought again.

"Could it be that the emperor was drunk and couldn't remember the tradition that he couldn't eat steamed food, so he inadvertently gave a steamed goose?" Desert asked softly, but no one answered.

For a while, everyone stopped talking, and the room suddenly fell silent.

After a long time, Zhu Wenyu shook his head vigorously, shook his hand, and said dejectedly: "Forget it, I can't think clearly, ask the emperor's uncle tomorrow." Sleep sleep! It's been a few days, and the young master can finally get some sleep, it's much better than sleeping in the barren mountains and wilderness, sleep, sleep! ”

The desert couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head helplessly, and said, "Let's rest, Brother Zhu and Uncle Zhu are also tired these days, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

At that moment, everyone went back to their rooms, Zhou Yuannai called the deputy leader of the Flower Gang, and slept a lot in the grass nest in the wild, and this brocade mattress embroidered quilt was also covered, which was no different from straw for him, and after a while, there was a snoring sound.

Rao is Zhu Wenyu's internal skills are pure, but he has been running non-stop for more than ten days and has traveled thousands of miles, after all, he can't stay up, leaning on the head of the bed, listening to Xiao Gaozi's report on the affairs of his family when he was not in the house, what officials came to visit, what subordinates violated the family law, when did the guards come to gamble and treat this as a casino, Xiao Gaozi 1510 said spittle, but Zhu Wenyu listened and fell asleep, Xiao Gaozi hurriedly stopped, served Zhu Wenyu to lie down, and fell asleep after a while.
