Chapter 35: Jin Yiwei
"Someone has been eyeing you from the moment you walked out of Jingshi."
Zhang Fuzheng said, "He may have power in Jiaozhi, but the road guide and copywriting of the fake identity prepared before you came to Jiaozhi, even it is difficult for me to find you out in the document, but he did it." This can only show that he followed you here from Jingshi. And there is only one kind of person who has this ability. ”
Zhu Gaoxian said softly: "Jinyiwei." ”
Zhang Fu was silent, obviously acquiescing.
Jin Yiwei, a powerful spy organization in the Ming Dynasty.
Its predecessor was the "Gongwei Division" set up by Emperor Taizu Gao, and later renamed the "Pro-Army Governor's Mansion", which was responsible for the emperor's safety. and the guard of honor in charge of the emperor, the emperor attended various occasions, such as sacrifices, parades, etc., and it was the guards who served as the honor guard.
Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was a suspicious person, he abolished the pro-army Governor's Mansion and the Yiluan Division, and set up a Jinyi Guard to monitor the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Jin Yiwei was extremely powerful, responsible for reconnaissance and interrogation, and carried out the emperor's orders. As long as it is a case approved by the emperor, Jinyiwei can directly go to the trial, conduct a closed trial, or even sentence directly, without going through the three legal divisions. In the early Ming Dynasty, many of the bloody cases of slaughtering tens of thousands of people, such as the "Hu Lan Prison", "Guo Heng Case", and "Empty Seal Case", were ordered to be active in the period.
In the Hongwu Dynasty, Jin Yiwei did not know how many slaughter blood debts were created, perhaps because Emperor Gao found out on his conscience in his later years, or he felt that Jin Yiwei was deeply guilty, and finally revoked this bloody institution.
However, after Yongle ascended the throne, the Jinyi Guard was re-established.
Zhu Di, who won the country unjustly, needed the butcher's knife of Jinyiwei to slaughter all those who resisted him, and buried all those who still thought about Emperor Jianwen in their hearts into the grave.
Zhu Gaoxian didn't need to think too much, so he guessed that behind the assassination of himself, there was the shadow of Jinyiwei.
The only ones who have the ability to follow him from Jingshi to Jiaozhi are the wolf cubs like Jinyiwei.
"Ji Gang." Zhu Gaoxian said the name.
Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the spy leader of the Ming Dynasty.
He followed Zhu Di to fight when he was in trouble, and because he was agile and clever, he was promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard. Most importantly, he is the Han King's Party.
Zhu Gaoxian was at odds with the King of Han, and it was not an accident that the King of Han and Ji Gang assassinated him.
"It's interesting, it's getting more and more interesting." Zhu Gaoxian grinned, "This king originally wanted to live in seclusion outside the court, since they wanted me to die, then this king will play with them, and see who will live in the end, and how many people will die." ”
Zhang Fu sighed, knowing that this Prince Qi would no longer hide his edge, but chose to step into the whirlpool of power struggle and kill.
He is in the British Mansion, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out, and the Qi Wangfu has been pulled in, and how can the British Mansion that is married to the Qi Wangfu be left alone.
Zhang Fu suddenly smiled: "Since you can't get out, Prince Qi, then let's play with them?" ”
Zhu Gaoxian laughed: "Then play tricks!" ”
At this moment, King Qi's Mansion and the British Mansion hit it off and began to fight on stage in silence.
……
Jinling City, Imperial Palace
"Your Majesty, Holy Bow Jin'an." Ji Gang respectfully prostrate on the ground, not daring to move.
Zhu Di, who was sitting on the Jinluan chair, was wearing a black fox fur, his eyes were closed, his temples were white, and his face was wrinkled by the carving knife of the years. Under the majesty of the emperor, Ji Gang, the spy leader whose hands were stained with countless blood, did not even have the courage to look up.
"What kind of person do you think, King Qi is?" The Emperor spoke slowly, his voice steady.
Ji Gang said without thinking: "The minister's status is despicable, and he doesn't dare to talk about His Royal Highness King Qi." ”
Zhu Di said lightly: "I let you say it, and you can say it." ”
Ji Gang hesitated for a moment and said: "His Royal Highness King Qi has an approachable personality, docile and elegant, without the slightest anger. ”
There is no trace of derogation in his evaluation of King Qi, it seems to be all praise, but it is not. Ji Gang is the party of the Han king, and for him, except for the king of Han, the rest of the princes should not have the ability to compete for the throne. In the evaluation, he said that King Qi was a person who had no quarrel with the world, and such a prince should only be an idle prince, not an emperor.
"On the Fengtian Palace, in front of me, I killed the right capital of the Imperial Court of the Metropolitan Procuratorate with a sword. But you say that King Qi has an approachable personality, docile and elegant? Zhu Di's eyebrows raised slightly, "Or do you think I'm old and can't see people clearly?" ”
Ji Gang was taken aback, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The minister has no such intention, the emperor is in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, and my emperor has the same life as the sky, and he is a clumsy minister and ignorant of people's talents." ”
The corners of Zhu Di's mouth were smiling, but his eyes were extremely cold: "You are a commander of the Jinyi Guard, and you have no talent to know people, so who should control this Jinyi Guard?" ”
Where did Ji Gang dare to answer, if this sentence was not answered well, maybe his official position as the commander of the Jinyi Guard would fly!
"Well, I don't mean to embarrass you."
Zhu Di changed his words and said, "You have been praising King Qi just now, but in terms of actual behavior, I don't see you have a trace of respect." ”
Ji Gang's forehead was covered with fine sweat: "The minister is ignorant, please show the emperor." ”
"Do I need to remind you?" Zhu Di said with great interest, "King Han, Jiaozhi, King Qi, Yang Hong, Ruan Yuxiong, and assassination, have you been reminded so much, do you think of anything?" ”
The hint of the emperor could not be more obvious.
It was a bold assassination plan.
Ordered by the King of Han, Jin Yiwei commanded Ji Gang and Yang Hong, the general of the Southern Expeditionary Army, to carry it out, Ji Gang was responsible for the collection of information about King Qi, what Jin Yiwei was best at was this kind of thing, King Qi's disguised identity of "Zhu Shilang" was revealed by Ji Gang to Yang Hong, King of Han's henchman in the Southern Expeditionary Army.
Yang Hong betrayed the Ming military situation in the southwest, in exchange for the assassination of King Qi by the Ming enemy's Chen army's general Ruan Yuxiong.
Assassinate the king and kill the driver, and whoever is involved in the case will be killed by the three clans.
As the mastermind, King Han will certainly not be sentenced like this, he is the prince of the royal family, if he is the three clans, even Zhu Di will be sentenced to death, and even the prince, King Qi and others will be killed together. At most, he will be punished one or two, even if he goes to rebel and is captured alive, he will not die, even the emperor is unwilling to bear the charge of killing his relatives, except in the case of death.
But Ji Gang and Yang Hong, they are not royalty, after the crime of assassinating the prince is revealed, they will definitely die, and the emperor will inevitably kill the three clans in order to show everyone, and even if you have the hope of experiencing the one-stop package of the nine clans, the ashes will be thrown to the manure pond for you.
"The minister is ignorant, I don't know what the emperor means." Ji Gang said resolutely.
Can't recognize it!
Absolutely unrecognizable!
Even if the truth comes to the surface, and the emperor already knows all the evidence of the crime, he will not be able to admit it!
Admitting it is death, even if Ji Gang is pushed to the guillotine and will be beheaded by the executioner the next moment, it is impossible for him to admit that he did the thing!
