Chapter 199: King Xing enters Beijing
Chang Feng's son fell and dislocated, causing the whole capital to fly and jump!
Chang Feng used the body of Jinyi Wei Zuo Tongzhi to mobilize the men and horses of the factory guard, Shuntianfu, Wucheng Soldiers and Horses, and even the 12th regiment battalion.
The streets were full of officials who were arresting people with portraits. The soldiers went from house to house and searched the houses of the people. The Jinyi guards searched the mansions of officials below the fourth rank.
As for officials above the fourth grade, they must always give some face, and they cannot search their homes. But it's not that I can't check it.
The man of the brocade guard stood at the door of the official's mansion. All the people who came in and out had to compare the portraits one by one.
Three hours later. Cabinet duty.
Shoufu Xu Pu has been on leave for a long time due to eye disease. It is said that I am going to deliver an old excerpt.
The three pavilion elders Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian sat opposite each other and discussed this city-wide manhunt.
Liu Jian said: "Chang Feng is a little too much. His son had his arm broken by a thief, and it was as if he was about to turn the whole capital upside down. ”
"The men and horses dispatched at the gates of each ya, I am afraid that there are 20,000 people in total!"
"Where is this movement? It's clearly a war! ”
Li Dongyang took a sip of tea: "Second assistant, do you know what the thieves stole in Changfu?" ”
Liu Jian asked, "What is it?" ”
Li Dongyang said quietly: "Chang Feng has already sent someone to pass a message to me. It is said that the thief stole two confessions. ”
Liu Jian asked, "What confession?" ”
Li Dongyang took a sip of tea and said, "Three years ago, I planted the confession of me and Brother Xie. ”
Liu Gongju, Li Gongmou, Xie Gongshan is eloquent. The three elders of the cabinet are all extremely intelligent people.
When Liu Jian heard this, he had no more opinions: "Oh, I see. It's time to hunt down the thieves. ”
Xie Qian laughed: "I remembered a joke. Say that a carp is fighting with a catfish. Compare yourself to each other. ”
"The carp said, 'What is so strange about you?' If I cross the dragon gate one day, I will be able to fly into the sky. As the saying goes, there are Venus in the eyes, there are golden scales on the body, and the peach blossoms are warm in spring, and you jump over the dragon gate. ”
"The catfish said, "Don't be presumptuous. Listen, I have no stars in my eyes and no scales on my body. A big wide mouth, often eat others! ”
When talking about "often eating others", Xie Qian accentuated his tone.
Liu Jian asked, "What does Brother Xie mean?" ”
Xie Qian restrained his smile: "In the past two years, Chang Feng has not been used much. There is a reason for our cabinet. ”
"He has been sent to Beijing many times to run errands, all of which were suggested by our cabinet."
"Heh, someone in the capital looked at Chang Feng and was free, so he bullied him to the door of his house."
"As everyone knows, Chang Feng is still the catfish that eats people! It's not that I'm obsessed with the imperial examination, I just want to try the carp that will try to pull out the Gongyue Dragon Gate! ”
"This time, I'm on Changfeng's side."
Li Dongyang said: "Let's give the Criminal Department and Dali Temple a next document." Let the Criminal Department and Dali Temple send out all the people who can be sent out to assist Chang Feng and participate in the search. ”
"The cabinet is going to help Jinyi Wei Changye's field this time!"
"Heh, I'm curious. Who was standing behind the thief? ”
Liu Gong is good at decisive. Liu Jian smiled: "Who is it, Brother Li should already know in his heart." ”
Inside the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.
Emperor Hongzhi is reviewing the recital. Li Guang stood aside and waited for the pen and ink.
Li Guangdao: "Your Majesty, Chang Feng mobilized more than 20,000 people to search for a domestic servant with unclean hands and feet in his house. Full flood. Even the nine gates are under martial law. ”
"In such a big battle, there was no purpose, and the factory guards, the law division, the Shuntian Mansion, the Soldiers and Horses Division, and even the regimental battalion soldiers were all mobilized by him alone. That doesn't seem right! ”
Emperor Hongzhi put down his pen: "What's wrong?" Chang Ponu is the son of the queen's sister, the nephew of my sister, and the prince's companion. ”
"His arm was broken by thieves. Shouldn't the whole city hunt for the murderer? ”
Li Guang hurriedly said: "What the emperor said is true. ”
Emperor Hongzhi said meaningfully: "However, Chang Feng made such a big move this time. In addition to catching thieves. There is another reason. ”
Li Guangdao: "Dare to ask the emperor, what is the reason?" ”
Emperor Hongzhi said: "I have been idle with him for the past two years. It is impossible for him to be without resentment in his heart. ”
"He's taking the opportunity to vent his grievances."
Emperor Hongzhi and Chang Feng really knew each other. Chang Feng did not shy away from suspicion and cover up this time, and mobilized the people and horses at various yamen, which did mean to vent his grievances.
Li Guangdao: "When the courtiers demonstrate to the emperor and vent their grievances. Chang Feng has no courtesy. ”
Emperor Hongzhi turned his head and glanced at Li Guang: "I don't care, why do you need to say more?" ”
Li Guang was immediately silenced.
Jiang An, who stole the confession, had been hidden by Li Guang in a hidden place. The confession has been burned by him.
Li Guang looked at this posture, and Jiang An would not be able to hide it sooner or later. He was murderous. Killing people is the best policy.
Changfu.
Chang Feng and Xu Fatzi sat opposite each other and drank tea, waiting for news of the search.
Xu Fatzi said: "Damn, it's a pity that Zhao Xiangfo's father and son died three years ago." Liu Ping was also nowhere to be found. ”
"Otherwise, with these three living confessions, Li Guang will be able to walk around at any time."
Zhao Xiangfo, the inner ghost of Jinyiwei, was placed by Chang Feng in the Datong border army. Their immediate supervisor was Jiang Bin, a well-known young talent in the border army.
In the winter of the eighth year of Hongzhi, Jiang Bin arranged for the Zhao family father and son to lead 50 scouts out of the Great Wall to reconnoiter the enemy. On the way, they were ambushed by the "Tatars".
It's weird. Fifty-two people went out, and only Zhao Xiangfo's father and son were killed in the battle. The remaining fifty scouts returned unharmed.
Chang Feng knew it well: that handsome young general Jiang Bin got on Li Guang's ship nine times out of ten. It must have been Li Guang who instructed him to secretly get rid of Zhao Xiangfo's father and son.
The death of two people at the border is no bigger than the death of two ants.
As for Liu Zhang's nephew Liu Ping, he directly evaporated from the world.
Chang Feng said: "I guess, we mobilized the whole city to search, and in the end we could only find Jiang An's body." ”
Xu Fatzi understood: "You mean, Li Guang will kill people and kill people?" ”
Chang Feng nodded slightly.
Xu Fatzi asked, "Then what else are we searching for?" ”
Chang Feng stood up and said with a straight face: "I mobilized 20,000 horses from several yamen to make the capital jump, in order to express an attitude to Li Guang. ”
Xu Fatzi asked, "What attitude?" ”
Chang Feng said domineeringly: "This attitude is - Jinyi Wei Chang Ye is not easy to mess with!" ”
"Today, Li Guangneng can bury a secret pile in my mansion, and tomorrow he will dare to kill me!"
"Li Guang, Li Guang, let's start today!"
As expected.
That night, a team of soldiers from the Terracotta Division found Jiang An's body in a land temple in the south of the city.
Looking at the scene, Jiang Annai committed suicide by hanging a beam.
A suicide note was also left in the temple, a thousand taels of silver tickets.
The suicide note said that Jiang An was interested in getting rich, and stole 1,000 taels of silver tickets from Chang Fu, and was bumped into by Chang Ponu. He had no choice but to wound the little master and escape.
After escaping from Changfu, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became. can only atone for his sins with death, and beg Chang Ye not to embarrass his family.
The suicide note never mentioned the two confessions.
This so-called "suicide note" is obviously a forgery.
Jiang An was dead, the confession was burned, the father and son of the Zhao family died at the hands of the "Tatars", and Liu Ping was missing.
The case of planting and blaming important ministers in the eighth year of Hongzhi is now dead and unproven.
Li Guang, who Chang Feng pinched in his hand, was gone. But the battle between Chang Feng and Li Guang has just begun.
Brocade clothes and guards make rooms.
Jiang An's body lay in a coffin made of willow wood.
Chang Feng and others gathered around the corpse.
Daoist Zhang said: "It should be done by experts." There was no sign of him being killed. It looks like suicide. ”
Chang Feng said: "The suicide note is also written with a nose and eyes. Oh, good means. ”
Fat Xu asked, "Master Chang, what should I do next?" ”
Chang Feng said: "Cold salad." If there is no evidence of death, it is useless to investigate it. ”
Xu Fatzi said angrily: "The eldest nephew's arm was broken in vain? ”
Chang Feng didn't speak, but walked out of the room silently, with a weird smile on his face.
He has been idle for two or three years, and he hasn't met an opponent for a long time. There was a hint of the excitement of a hunter fighting a wolf in his heart.
But sometimes, the hunter is also the prey in the eyes of the wolf.
Li Guangwai Mansion.
Li Guang is having a secret conversation with his henchman Gu Dayong.
Gu Dayong said: "Godfather, this time it's so dangerous!" Thankfully, we started early. If Jiang An was caught by Chang Feng, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”
Li Guangdao: "This time we won." At least Chang Feng has lost my handle. ”
"However, with Chang Feng's brain, I guessed that Jiang An was instructed by me."
Gu Dayong said: "In other words, you and Chang Feng have already torn their faces. That's a big deal! ”
"If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves. Remembered by the butcher, he may attack you one day. ”
Li Guang took a sip of tea and seemed to have made up his mind: "Strike first to be strong, and then to suffer." I have to think of a way to get rid of the wind completely. ”
Gu Dayong was a little worried: "I'm afraid it's not so easy to get rid of Changfeng." He has been on errands for the emperor for many years and has won the emperor's trust. The emperor is also a prince of leniency. Even if Chang Feng makes a mistake, at most he will be punished slightly. ”
Li Guang played with the jade ring in his hand and asked, "Do you know what the emperors of all dynasties can't tolerate the most?" ”
Gu Dayong blurted out: "Naturally, it is a rebellion." ”
Li Guang took off the jade ring: "If Chang Feng plots a rebellion, does he still have a life?" ”
Gu Dayong was confused: "Rebellion? ”
A sly smile appeared on Li Guang's face: "The emperor's fourth brother, King Xing, has set off from Anluzhou, a feudal territory, to pay tribute to Beijing. I'll be in Beijing next month."
A huge conspiracy shrouded in the sky of the capital.
Let's say that more than 20 days later, Chang Tian came out of confinement.
The Chang family moved out of the county lord's mansion and returned to their own home.
My father-in-law, Liu Bingyi, has been playing in Jiangnan for half a year. I just went back to Changfu.
On this trip to Jiangnan, he brought back a lot of local specialties in Jiangnan.
The table in the hall was full of gifts that Liu Bingyi brought to everyone.
Liu Bingyi patted the three pieces of silk happily: "This is the finest Suzhou-Hangzhou silk." Give Xiao Yan, Tang Tang, and Xiao Jiu a horse. ”
Chang Feng hurriedly instructed his subordinates: "Take one and send it to the county lord's mansion." ”
Liu Bingyi pointed to a large jar again: "This is West Lake lotus root powder." It's fragrant to drink, and it's strong. It is said that the young man drank Mao'er and grew up quickly! I can rush adult. ”
Chang Ponu smiled: "Thank you, grandfather." ”
Liu Bingyi patted a small porcelain jar: "This is the newly lowered Shifeng Longjing." Extremely difficult to get. I walked the way of the eunuch Jia Gonggong in Hangzhou, and I got two taels. ”
Shifeng Longjing is a tribute tea. There are eighteen tea trees in total. The annual output is only thirty-six catties.
These thirty-six catties, in addition to paying tribute to the palace, will also be distributed to the vassal kings.
Drinking this stuff is not only to satisfy the appetite of the tongue, but also a symbol of status.
Although Liu Bingyi is old. But the power of the son-in-law is there. When he went to Jiangnan, the eunuchs and eunuchs in all parts of Jiangnan had to give him a few thin noodles.
Chang Feng picked up the small porcelain jar containing tea: "This thing is too expensive." One tael of tea can be exchanged for thirty taels of gold. The key point is that money may not be able to buy it. Old Tarzan bothered. ”
Liu Bingyi smiled: "Father-in-law Jia also looks at your face. If you hadn't helped him speak well in front of Father-in-law Qian, he would have been able to release that big fat child in Hangzhou. ”
Chang Feng put down the small porcelain jar and asked, "Is the journey back to Beijing smooth for Lao Taishan?" ”
Liu Bingyi replied casually: "The back and forth is an official ship, which is naturally smooth." Oh yes, when I stopped at the Texas wharf, I also met the fleet of King Xing entering Beijing. ”
Although Liu Bingyi said goodbye to old age, Emperor Hongzhi looked at Chang Feng's face and allowed him to retain the treatment of a court official. Therefore, when he goes out of Beijing, he can take an official ship and live in a post station.
Chang Feng said: "Yesterday, Father-in-law Qian just gave me the errand to go to Tongzhou Wharf to meet King Xing. ”
"I'm an idler in the brocade guard now. You can also do things like greeting the feudal king. ”
Liu Bingyi comforted Chang Feng: "Virtuous son-in-law, it's rare to have half a day of leisure in your floating life." It's better for you to be a high-powered idler than to pin your head to your belt and do those dangerous errands. ”
above the canal.
A mighty fleet of ships is heading towards the destination Tongzhou wharf.
In the center of the flotilla is a huge building ship.
On the deck of the ship, stood the twenty-three-year-old Xingwang Zhu Youqi.
When he was twenty-two years old, he was only twelve years old. Wan Guifei and her henchmen tried in vain to abolish the crown prince Zhu Youzhu and appoint him as the prince.
That wasn't what he intended. At that time, he was just a young man at the mercy of others.
Therefore, after Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, he was not pursued. On the contrary, Emperor Hongzhi treated this younger brother very well. When he ascended the throne, he made him a prince. In the seventh year of Hongzhi, he issued an order to let him be in Luzhou.
King Xing had no ambitions. I just want to be a comfortable vassal king under the protection of my brother.
He hadn't been back to the capital for four years, and he hadn't seen his brother Emperor Hongzhi.
His mood was a little anxious.
King Xing turned his head and asked a handsome young man beside him: "Lu Song, how long will it take to get to Tongzhou Wharf?" ”
Lu Song replied: "Back to Your Highness, if you don't drop anchor tonight, you will be able to get to Tongzhou Wharf early tomorrow morning." ”
"The clippers of the military department have sent the roll-out order. It is explained that the morning brocade clothes and guards know that Changfeng will greet His Highness at the dock. ”
Lu Song, twenty years old, Xingwangfu Honor and Guard Division, from the fifth grade. To put it bluntly, he is the captain of the honor guard of Xingwangfu.
Lu Song entered Jinyiwei at the age of fifteen. A year later, King Xing was about to become a vassal domain.
Emperor Hongzhi issued an order to select dignified people from among the generals of Jinyiwei and Han, and went to Anlu Prefecture as the guard of honor with King Xing.
Chang Feng, who was in charge of this matter, elected Lu Song into the Xingwang Yiwei.
Lu Song is a very blessed person. He took his wife Fan in Anlu Prefecture. Fan was born as beautiful as a flower, not to mention, the hammer is also very big.
To be honest, the Lu family's fifty years of glory depend on Fan's sledgehammer.
Because ten years later, King Xing will give birth to a son, named Zhu Houxi.
Zhu Houxi's biological mother's daughter is not well watered. They had to choose nurses from among the married women in the palace.
Fan's was full of hammers and pipes, and he was honored to become the nurse of King Xing's son.
Oh yes, Fan gave birth to a son named Lu Song. Naturally, these are all afterthoughts.
(Note: Regarding "nature, these are all afterwords" and so on.) Please don't complain. This is not a spoiler, and it is not a digging hole. Rather, it narrates historical facts.
For example, here, without further apost, how does the reader know that Lu Song is the only father of the three dukes and the three lonely super fierce men in the Ming Dynasty?
This is true for most of the book's "Naturally, these are later words", which is just a narration of historical facts from God's perspective. )
King Xing stared at the splash of the building boat chopping waves, and his heart was like an arrow.
How did he know that he would be greeted by a shocking conspiracy.
And the real target of the person who planned the conspiracy was not him, but Jinyi Wei Changye.
