The dark and damp prison is full of clamps, brain hoops, horse stoppers, nail fingers...... and countless torture instruments, mottled with blood, hideous and making people's scalps tingle, wondering whether this is the underworld or the world.

When he woke up, he felt only pain all over his body, he was tied to a wooden frame, his limbs and neck were bound by cold iron chains, and his body was covered in sores and blood. Master Fu had been tortured so miserably that his spirit was almost broken.

He shouted: "You brute, you dare to treat me like this, you are dead, you are dead!" Do you dare to give your name, I will let your whole family bury you for this stupid act! ”

He roared with all his might, but all he could did was a cold stare from the commander of the guard on the other side.

The man replied calmly, "Down, Saihazhi." ”

Saihazhi ...... How do you feel so familiar......"

Fu Bo'an's face suddenly changed greatly, "You are the seventh grandson of the Yuan Xianyang King Saidianchi?!" ”

Saihazhi bowed slightly: "It's exactly below." ”

His face turned pale and bloodless, and he finally knew what he had offended.

Saihazhi, a native of Yuan, his ancestor was appointed by Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, as the political affairs of Pingzhang in Yunnan, and controlled the power of a province in Yunnan for six years, and was posthumously crowned as the king, and was honored as the "ancestor of Yunnan" by later generations.

In the Ming Dynasty, the day changed, and Saihazhi's family pledged allegiance to Emperor Taizu Gao as pilgrims. Saihazhi's identity as a descendant of the Saidianchi family, who once guarded Yunnan for several generations, attracted the attention of Lao Zhu and entrusted him with an important task.

And it doesn't matter, the most important thing is that Saihazhi is on an envoy to Waifan, and he was named the Marquis of Xianning, and the hereditary Jinyi Guard commanded the envoy. Although he has a lot of water in this title, he is also a marquis. As for the hereditary commander of the Jinyi Guard...... It is true that it has this name, but it has no real power.

However, this is indeed a man who does dirty work, with blood on his hands.

Fu Boan was a little worried, but he was still stiff-mouthed: "Even if you are a marquis, you are a marquis who has not even been replaced, and you dare to be my enemy, do you know, who is the person standing behind me?" ”

Saihazhi asked curiously, "Please give me advice." ”

"Behind me is ...... Do you want to talk to me? ”

Fu Boan reacted quickly and said vigilantly, "I advise you not to be delusional, the person standing behind me is a big man you can't afford to mess with, and he crushes you to death, as simple as crushing an ant." Saihazhi, although you are a Yuan person, you know the way of being an official better than the Han people, I think you won't understand the deep meaning of this, right? ”

"You can't take anything useful out of my mouth, you underestimate me too much, I'm a person with a bottom line!"

Saihazhi nodded: "Lord Fu is really hard-mouthed, he is a hard bone, and he admires it." ”

He raised his hand and signaled, "Someone, go to punishment!" ”

When Fu Bo'an saw that this Yuan man was about to move seriously, he remembered the torture he had just encountered, and couldn't help but shudder: "What do you want to know, I'll tell you!" ”

Sai Hazhi asked suspiciously: "Didn't Lord Fu just say that you are a person with a bottom line?" ”

Fu Boan said embarrassedly: "I have a flexible bottom line. ”

Saihazhi couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Those who know the times are Junjie, I think Master Fu is Junjie among Junjie, don't talk nonsense, let's be honest with each other, you just give me a name, I'll keep you safe." ”

Fu Boan hesitated: "Are you sure?" ”

Saihazhi nodded: "We Yuanren have always been trustworthy, if I lie to you, then I will be reincarnated as a lost wild dog in the next life." ”

Seeing Saihazhi's sworn appearance, Fu Bo'an's heart became entangled.

He struggled for a long time, and finally chose to believe this damn meta-man.

Fu Boan said slowly: "Prince of Gan, Zhu Zhanji." ”

"It turned out to be him, and sure enough, the imperial grandson, who was known as the third generation of Kewang, was still unwilling to be silent in the fall."

Saihazhi got the answer he wanted, stood up and stretched his shoulders, "Yes, Lord Fu is so knowledgeable, I can't continue to be rude to you." ”

"Come on, give Lord Fu a good time!"

Hearing Saihazhi's words, Fu Bo'an became anxious: "Bastard, you just said that you won't kill me!" You have just sworn that if you lie to me, you will be reincarnated as a lost wild dog in the next life! ”

However, the butcher knife slowly approached him, and in his desperate gaze, he saw Saihazhi grinning, revealing his white teeth.

Saihazhi looked at Lord Fu with sincere eyes: "Wang, Wang, Wang." ”

The butcher's knife fell, and the head of the Vober fell to the ground, and blood flowed profusely.

Saihazhi shook his head: "Lord Fu, there is a flexible bottom line, it's useless." You are in the wrong position, and your life has been taken away by Lord Yama as early as when you stepped into Annan Province. ”

……

In the city of Beijing, the snow is getting thicker.

Under the eaves of the pavilion of the East Palace, Zhu Gaoxian sat by the stove, wrapped tightly in the snow-white fox fur he was wearing, he picked up the blue and white wine bottle, sniffed the mouth of the bottle, the aroma of wine and plum fragrance were mixed together, which was intoxicating.

The best plum wine soaked in plums is always pleasant to drink every winter.

His biggest preference is drinking, as a superior person, even if he is not good at drinking in his life, he must learn to drink, every time he feasts, he should be majestic and massive, in order to serve the public.

Zhu Gaoxian took a sip of this warm green plum wine to get rid of the cold.

The snow is still falling.

Ah Qi walked quickly, he had a layer of frost white on his body, but he didn't rush to sweep away the snow on his shoulders, but took out a secret letter and handed it to Zhu Gaoxian: "Saihazhi sent you a letter from Annan. ”

Zhu Gaoxian took the letter and opened it, and there were only four words written on it.

- Prince of Gan.

Well, it's you.

People in Jiangxi are in Beijing, and after they became vassals, they became more sophisticated than before. If Zhu Zhanji was a little wolf dog before, then now he has grown into a hidden tiger, and even the boss can't guard against this kid.

Zhu Gaoxian was not surprised by this, he had long known that his nephew had his own team hidden in Beijing, but he had never found out who it was. I didn't expect that now I accidentally hit and blew up the big fish of Fu Boan.

Who would have thought that he would set up a special inspector guard for the sake of the Academy. The inspector has no other task, which is to catch the students of the Academy of Literature and stare them to death.

"Another one died."

Zhu Gaoxian took out a list from under the big box and raised his hand to signal.

Ah Qi comprehended, took a wolf hair dipped in cinnabar, and handed it over.

Zhu Gaoxian unfolded the list and crossed out a name.

The list was densely packed with fine letters, and Vobean's name was just one of them. He had already held the evidence of the crimes among the students of the Academy of Literature, and after scrutiny, it was clear which people's mistakes were harmless, and which people's mistakes should be questioned.

Before letting these students out, there were actually inspectors and guards watching behind their butts, which was a chance to atone for these students who made mistakes. He has already made it very clear that if he is willing to do something, even if he makes some minor mistakes, it will not hurt, but if he doesn't do it, then the inspector and guard can do it directly.

The ultimate goal of this rectification of the Yellow Book Library is to sieve out who can use it and who cannot. If it can be used, Zhu Gaoxian will turn a blind eye, but if he doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, like Fu Bo'an, he has to be sent to the west sky.

"Saihazhi has done a good job, although this person is a descendant of the Yuan people, he can also use one or two. Although he is not as good as Shen Qingyu and Zhang Muzhi, he is still good at doing some shady things. ”

Zhu Gaoxian put the list away, and the content on this list was too terrifying. It was jointly investigated by the Tax Supervision Institute and Jinyiwei, and if it is exposed, I really don't know what kind of bloody storm it will cause.

"Whether it is a Han person or a Yuan person, if they are all as loyal as Saihazhi, then they are all Ming people."

He said with emotion, "The wind and frost in Beijing are really biting, I am not a person who is easy to kill, but the weather is so cold, if you don't see blood, I am afraid that there are many people hiding in the wind and frost, and regard the imperial power as a fluttering snowflake." ”

Ah Qi was silent for a while, and asked, "Is power really that tempting?" ”

He didn't understand.

Why is it that after everyone has been exposed to power, it seems that they have changed people, even the most innocent teenagers, they will go crazy after tasting the pleasure brought by power.

When he first saw Zhu Gaoxian in King Qi's mansion, he thought that this was just an ignorant boy.

But now, the other party's scheming and ruthlessness made him only feel strange and afraid.

A shadow servant like Ah Qi, licking blood with a knife, wiped the knife and did nothing after killing someone, and countless undead were followed behind him. But he's not really a killing machine, and he has moments of fear.

And now Zhu Gaoxian is the kind of person he fears the most.

They sat under the eaves, looked at the snow in the courtyard, drank the best green plum wine, and with a few fluttering words, countless people's lives were cut off with the cold wind, and blood splashed three feet.

"Where there is power, there will inevitably be responsibility, in fact, power and responsibility are corresponding to each other, how much power should be done."

Zhu Gaoxian sighed, "But everyone is only willing to use power, but not to fulfill their due responsibilities." Everybody can do that, but I can't, because the power in my hands is the power of the whole country. ”

"In the same way, I also need to carry the national fortune of the entire Ming Dynasty. For me, this is actually a heavy burden, and I have lost so much for the sake of the national fortunes of this empire. ”

"When my wife was nine months pregnant, I was still fighting in the Northeast. After the birth of the child, I went to the south to fight. When the children were a little older, I worked government affairs again, and I spent more time in the Wenhua Hall than in the East Palace. ”

"When I took over the power from the old man, I lost too much."

Ah Qi said in a low voice: "In this case, why did you have to fight at the beginning? ”

Zhu Gaoxian chuckled: "I never thought of fighting, they forced me to embark on this road that is destined to overcome thorns." Do you remember the assassination that happened to you and me when we were in Annan? If I don't fight, I have no power, no power, how can I survive in this crisis? ”

Ah Qi sighed, his voice full of sadness.

He was feeling sorry for the other party.

The prince who seems to have infinite scenery, once upon a time, was also a young man with idle clouds and wild cranes.

The person who knows Zhu Gaoxian best is not Zhu Di, nor is it Zhang Yingzhen.

Zhu Di only understands his ability and potential, and Zhang Yingzhen only understands his size. Only Ah Qi has followed Zhu Gaoxian all the way, and has been silently following him after many disasters, knowing how many heavy emotions are hidden in the heart of this man who controls the world.

No one knows him better than his shadow.

Zhu Gaoxian suddenly smiled and said, "It's a pity that you are a man, otherwise I would have taken you as a concubine." ”

Ah Qi paused for a moment and said, "It's a pity that you are not a woman, otherwise I would have to marry you." ”

Zhu Gaoxian laughed heartily.

……

Zhu Di asked wonderingly: "I'm afraid that this kid is not crazy, even if Sai Hazhi killed a river of blood there, and it snowed so heavily in Beijing, he didn't stop his murderous intent?" ”

Tang Cheng respectfully presented a list to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is the list submitted by the crown prince. ”

"What a list, a ...... that makes a mess of the hell"

Zhu Di took the list, his face gradually became heavy, he turned page after page, trembling with anger, and finally couldn't help but slam the list on the ground, and scolded angrily, "Damn it! It's all fucking corrupt officials! ”

"That's how the prosperity of my Ming Dynasty came about? The corrupt officials and corrupt officials investigated by the fourth child are afraid that they will include half of my Ming Dynasty! ”

"Kill! Kill them all, and not a single one will be left! ”

Zhu Di now understands why the fourth child has such a big murderous intent, his current murderous intent is heavier than Zhu Gaoxian!

This list nakedly records the most authentic side of the Yongle Dynasty, and every word is heart-wrenching.

"Your Majesty is angry!"

Tang Cheng hurriedly comforted, "The crown prince is already working on this matter, and Sai Hazhi and the newly established inspector guard have already reviewed them one by one according to the list, and then liquidated them." ”

"Tell the fourth child that he doesn't have to scruple and slaughter all these dog things!"

Zhu Di supported his waist with one hand and scolded angrily, "I am still very relieved that he is doing things." I'm afraid that he will be soft-hearted, and I am afraid that if I kill too much, it will cause criticism. You tell him that if something happens, I will bear it for him, and I can do it boldly and with confidence! ”

Tang Chengxin said: Your Majesty, don't worry about this, you are still worried that the prince is soft-hearted, isn't this a big joke!

The four sons of your family, killing people like slaughtering dogs, drinking blood like drinking wine, this is a killing embryo that eats people without spitting out bones, in terms of ruthlessness, he is more ruthless than you!

But His Majesty the Emperor is angry, of course Tang Cheng can't lose the face of the old man, just on the side, "Ah, yes, yes, what you said to Your Majesty is too right"......

Tang Cheng brought a cup of herbal tea and offered it to the emperor with both hands. Zhu Di took the tea and took a sip, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the emperor had calmed down, Tang Cheng dared to continue: "Your Majesty, in fact, it's not just that list, the crown prince also brought another letter. ”
