Chapter 220: The Bloody Court
Returning to the capital, Jiang Zhen was imprisoned after only three days of rest, and his previous feeling was not wrong.
This technique of coming forward to scuttle the ship was indeed done by an acquaintance, and it was none other than Wu Hua, the commander of his subordinates.
The angry Zhu Yuanzhang roared at him at that time.
"You don't want to be a brocade guard? So that's how you take care of Jinyiwei? ”
Jiang Xuan's heart was cold, he couldn't say what it meant to be bitter, this was it.
But there was a traitor under his subordinates, and although Jiang Zhen was not involved in it, he couldn't escape from a crime of lax royal authority.
What's more, this matter involves the death of the prince, and Jiang Zhen has no choice but to wait for death in prison.
If at the beginning, it was a little strange for Jiang Zhen to learn that Wu Hua was involved in the case, but after a few days in prison, Jiang Zhen figured out everything.
An organization like Jinyiwei was originally doing black work for the king, and there were countless big cases in their hands, and how many people died?
Such an organization needs the trust of the superior the most, but the prince's attitude towards Jinyiwei is obvious and disgusted.
It is foreseeable that if the crown prince ascends to the throne, Jinyiwei will either be abolished directly, or it will decline into a yamen that cares nothing.
In such a situation, Jiang Zhen himself planned to retreat bravely and jump out of the circle of Jinyiwei, while Wu Hua and the others wanted to change to a prince who was close to Jinyiwei.
It's normal to make this fact.
Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, was sick, irritable, and his life was not long, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang was not blind, he would not choose the king of Qin as the prince.
And Zhu Li, the king of Jin, appeared in front of Wu Hua in this way, except for the three guards and horses, Zhu Li basically had no other supporters around him, even his in-law Ying Guogong also supported the prince.
At this time, if Jinyiwei defects to the past, abolish the prince, and replace him with Zhu Li, Jinyiwei will inevitably be of great use in the future.
What's more, Zhu Li is narrow-minded, if he is on the throne, he will have to raise a big prison, and at that time, Jinyiwei may be more important than now.
It's a pity that Wu Hua counted the beginning, not the end, although they colluded with King Jin to successfully assassinate the prince, but in the end it was not King Jin's turn to become the prince.
On the contrary, he was caught by Zhu Yuanzhang, who calmed down, he thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was just for the sake of face, and it was not easy to investigate the private matter in the death of the prince, but he didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to be more ruthless than he thought!
Subsequently, the entire Jinyi Wei system was bloodily purged by Zhu Yuanzhang, and anyone who was somewhat involved with Wu Hua was imprisoned and awaited disposal.
Zhu Yuanzhang checked the letters searched from the King of Jin again, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not let go of any of the civil and military nobles who had dealings with the King of Jin.
Jinyiwei was disabled, and no one helped arrest people? It's not a big deal, Zhao Mian transferred to the Ministry of Shangshu, and Yang Jing was promoted to the imperial history of the left capital.
One is responsible for arresting people, and the other is responsible for arranging substitutes to perfectly cooperate with Zhu Yuanzhang's actions, and for a while, the entire court became extremely bloody.
He Qiu can be regarded as having gained knowledge, he has not experienced the previous Hu Weiyong case, the empty seal case, etc., but when he was studying before, he knew that these cases were widely implicated.
Wu Hua's case this time? Or what is it called another case, the Jinyiwei system alone has arrested thousands of people, and there are only a few Jinyiwei left in the capital.
Mancheng Xungui was arrested by Zhu Yuanzhang No less than ten top marquis, and Wenchen was imprisoned as many as hundreds, you must know that this is just the beginning!
He Qiu was really convinced, the first time he saw officials from all walks of life killed as pigs, no wonder Zhu Yuanzhang's image was so bad later.
Even the widely circulated portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang has that virtue, and it is difficult to say whether there are any careful thoughts of these literati to smear Zhu Yuanzhang.
He Qiu can only say that he is glad that he has not yet become an official, and the name of Teacher Taisun who is now hanging is not a serious official.
He Qiu was eating melons with relish on the side, but suddenly someone wanted to escape.
Lan Yu looked at He Qiu in front of him and said very tiredly.
"You kid help me find a way, I want to resign, I'm worried that Your Majesty won't approve it now."
He Qiu was very curious, Lan Yu definitely didn't have this experience in history, how could he think of retiring?
So He Qiu hurriedly asked.
"Huh? Why are you planning to resign? ”
Lan Yu glanced at him, and said in a very complicated tone.
"I was originally a supporter of the prince, but now that the prince is dead, in the final analysis, it can be regarded as my lack of protection. And I'm afraid my grandson won't need my support, so it's better to go home early and be a rich man! ”
Although Lan Yu said it was more vague, He Qiu still understood that he did have the meaning of mourning more than death, and the prince's revenge was taken, and his heart was empty.
And the grandson Zhu Yunwen, after He Qiu's prompting, he himself may have tried it a few times, and understood that this person would definitely not deal with his own family.
Now this is the situation in the court, as a prince of the country, it is naturally difficult for the top people in the Xungui to do, and someone will always ask for him.
If Lan Yu hadn't thought about it before, he would have helped cover it up, but now that the prince is dead, Lan Yu has no confidence to help others.
What's more, Lan Yu may still have some complaints about these people, when the prince died, there was naturally a problem, and after the matter spread vaguely, these people remained silent, and in the end, they had to rely on their nephews to break all this.
The prince helped protect so many of them before, which one of them stood up and spoke out when the prince's death was unknown?
What's the use of protecting them? Even if you have a dog, you know how to help when something happens to your owner.
They were fine, they all clamped their tails, kept silent, and waited until the first shot was fired, and then they began to bark wildly, and they didn't want to think about whether they needed to be called so at this time?
He Qiu understood part of Lan Yu's thoughts, and thought about it in his heart, I'm afraid this is also because of the relationship between Ying Guogong who died in front of him, right?
If Lan Yu became the first to die, then there would definitely be no such things, but Ying Guogong died like this with such a large number of nobles, and it should have touched Lan Yu a lot.
It also made his stinky temper a lot more restrained, if he dared to show it off, Ying Guogong's fate would be his example.
He Qiu figured it out, so he said it directly to Lan Yu.
"Alas, I think I'm missing something now!"
Lan Yu is a little strange, why did you talk about this, didn't you give me a way?
But I still asked cooperatively, what is it?
"The Book of War!"
"King Kaiping and King Zhongshan have fought for a lifetime, but unfortunately there is no military book left, if this drags on, it may become a pity."
Lan Yu's eyes lit up, yes! I can use the excuse of going home and studying behind closed doors!
And He Qiu's statement really moved Lan Yu, his brother-in-law Hero I, if he didn't have a military book, he couldn't say it.
It would be great if he could break away from the current whirlpool of the imperial court in this name, and even Zhu Yuanzhang had no reason to stop it.
Lan Yu happily patted He Qiu's shoulder, "Good boy, I accept your favor!" ”
Then he couldn't wait to leave Yanwang's Mansion, and it seemed that he was going to find Zhu Yuanzhang.
