Ten years of cold window, 34-year-old Gao Fuming became the Nanjing county magistrate of Hongwu for 25 years.

No, Nanjing, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty at this time, is not called a county order, but is called Shuntianfu Yin, Zheng Sanpin.

His responsibilities are also a little different from the general county order, and he is mainly responsible for the security and government affairs of the Jingshi generation.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to be an official under the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it is especially difficult under the feet of Emperor Hongwu, because everything you do is in the eyes of the emperor. If Gao Fuming is given another chance, I believe he will definitely try his best to avoid his current position.

If he had a yellow calendar of his life, there must be a page on that yellow calendar that must be written like this: On the fourth day of the ninth month of the 25th year of Hongwu, Li Shanchang, the Duke of Korea, and his younger brother Li Cunyi will die in the palace of King Yan. Advisable: hanging, taking poison, cutting your wrists, and other methods to commit suicide;

"Micro... Weichen Gao Fuming knocked on the emperor's "In the imperial study, Gao Fuming trembled and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Get up" With an understatement of his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke.

"Xie, Your Majesty" Gao Fuming stood up and stammered a little when he spoke.

It's Shen time, which is between three and five o'clock in the afternoon. The sun hasn't set yet.

About an hour ago, Huang Zicheng, an attendant in the East Palace, and Qi Tai, the left attendant of the military department, entered the palace and asked to see Zhu Yunwen, the emperor's eldest grandson.

At that time, Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yuanzhang were talking in the Wuying Palace. Hearing that Huang Zicheng was coming, Zhu Yuanzhang also let Zhu Yunwen go.

"Don't mention that Xu Ruyi to anyone" This is Zhu Yuanzhang's instruction to Zhu Yunwen, "Don't see that Xu Ruyi recently, I have other arrangements for him." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy and calculation, the way of nature. Although what Xu Ruyi did this time was hidden, there were still some clues after all, and he couldn't hide it from those who had a heart, especially those who had the ability, such as... Zhu Di.

"Lao Zhang, clean up the people who know the inside story, you can control it yourself, and do your best not to let the news spread out randomly" This is Zhu Yuanzhang's order to Lao Zhang after Zhu Yunwen left.

"Come on, move the imperial study, and recruit Yin Gaofu of the Shun Tianfu Mansion to enter the palace to see me" This is Zhu Yuanzhang's last sentence in the Wuying Palace before, after all, the Wuying Palace has been smashed by him, and it is not suitable to meet with foreign ministers.

Time comes back to the present.

Zhu Yuanzhang squinted at Gao Fuming in front of him, and opened his mouth, "Gao Fuming~"

"The Minister"

"I heard that there was a big case in the capital today."

"Back to the emperor, around today, the Duke of Han and his brother died in the palace of King Yan... The minister has been sent... ”

"Hmph" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and interrupted Gao Fuming's words, "Such a big case involves the prince of the dynasty and the vassal king, but you didn't come early to report to me, do you have to wait until tomorrow morning to talk about it? Isn't it too late?"

The officials of Shuntian Mansion Yin live in the third grade, and the officials above the fifth rank in Beijing have the right to go to the court.

"The minister is guilty" Gao Fuming quickly knelt down. "The minister just wants to investigate clearly, and then report to His Majesty. ”

"Well... Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Then how did you check?"

"Back to the emperor, the minister found out that the Han Gong and his brother seemed to have a misunderstanding, so they went to the Yan Wangfu, and later seemed to have died... Died by... ”

"Go on!"

"Died by suicide. And shortly after the death of the two, a fire broke out in the South Korean government, and the South Korean government turned into a white ground, possibly killing and injuring more than 400 people, and their identities are currently being verified. After a lot of effort, Gao Fuming finally finished what he had found.

"It seems, like, maybe" Zhu Yuanzhang seemed not satisfied with Gao Fuming's words, "Except for finding out that the two Han Gong died by suicide, everything else is uncertain, when will you find evidence and make sure that everything will be reported to me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was dissatisfied, but Gao Fuming's heart was put down, he had already heard what the emperor meant, and his intention was clear, and things would be easy to do.

"Back to the emperor," Gao Fuming said calmly, "Within seven days, Weichen will definitely find out the truth, find out the evidence, and give you an explanation"

"Three days ... ”

"Three. . . Three days is enough, and Weichen will live up to the emperor's expectations. Gao Fuming kowtowed again.

"Hmmm... Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "I will also help you, Li Shanchang's son Li Fei escaped from the fire, and now he is in the pro-army governor's mansion, you can go and get it." ”

The pro-army Governor's Mansion is actually the predecessor of the famous Jinyi Guard. Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the pro-army Governor's Mansion in the fifteenth year of Hongwu and established Jinyiwei on its basis. Later, due to the pressure of the courtiers and the bad reputation of Jinyiwei, it was only in the 20th year of Hongwu that Jinyiwei was revoked and the torture instruments were burned. Although Jin Yiwei has been eliminated on the surface, such an effective tool and such a powerful intelligence ability are fascinating. Zhu Yuanzhang Mingli dismissed the Jinyi Guard, but secretly changed it back to the pro-army Governor's Mansion. In general, it only changed its name, and its powers of arrest and torture were revoked.

Zhu Yuanzhang took this step back, and the courtiers naturally accepted it when they saw it, and the pro-army governor's mansion was retained, and this was also the foundation for Zhu Di to quickly rebuild Jinyiwei after he ascended the throne.

"Yes, Wechen will do it, Wechen will retire" respectfully responded to the errand, and Gao Fuming slowly withdrew from the imperial study.

Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning Gao Fuming heard it very clearly: Li Shanchang and Li Cunyi committed suicide, and they must also commit suicide and die, he just needs to find evidence. Gao Fuming said that the seven-day time limit was to find evidence, and the three-day time limit given by Zhu Yuanzhang was to tell him to close the case as soon as possible and to do evidence if there was no evidence.

Dao Yan is right, Zhu Yuanzhang thinks about it, after all, he still has to protect his fourth son Zhu Di. Father-son friendship aside, the biggest problem was that he had no way to fill the power vacuum created by the removal of the vassal queen.

'Alas, I can only take one step at a time'

In the East Palace, in Zhu Yunwen's study,

Zhu Yunwen sat quietly, looking at his two most loyal henchmen in front of him, and the future humerus ministers left by the emperor's grandfather, dancing in front of his eyes, impassioned.

"Your Royal Highness the eldest grandson, the vassal king's strategy will do more harm than good, I have already reached a consensus with Brother Zicheng on this matter, and I believe that His Royal Highness the eldest grandson has already known it in his heart. Today, the two Korean brothers died in the palace of King Yan, which is a godsend, and I believe that King Yan has lost his holy family at this moment. We should seize the opportunity and unite people with lofty ideals to go to the Yan King and take down the Yan King in one fell swoop. A man in a plain robe with a serious face had an expression of asking for the people's life.

A Hanlin official next to him was dressed up, and the man with a big face in the square also echoed again and again, "What Brother Shang Li said is exactly what Zicheng wants to say." It is recorded in the "Historical Records" that Fan Li once said: Tianyu does not take it, but suffers the blame. A few days ago, King Yan had just bullied His Royal Highness, and it was a good time for new and old grudges to come together to report it. ”

"Uh," Zhu Yunwen asked, "then where to start?"

"Zicheng thought that he should start with the rude incident of King Yan in the imperial garden before, after all... Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted.

"The difference between what Brother Zicheng said, the faux pas is a small section after all, and it is not enough to make His Majesty withdraw the domain. Or should I die from the Korean public... ”

"How can a faux pas be a small section?! The son said: The monarch and the minister, the father and the son. This is a natural principle and cannot be violated. King Yan's disrespect is a big crime. ”

"The death of Han Gong is the crime!"

"The death of Han Gong is known to anyone with a discerning eye, so how can it be a crime。。。。。 ”

。。。

。。。

"Uh... Zhu Yunwen didn't expect that his small problem would make the two Confucians who were still on the same front turn against each other.

If Xu Ruyi was here, he would definitely spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground to express his contempt, and then scold a rotten Confucian.

Of course, this is only if. If you really put him here, he must be honest and not say a word, because the man with a serious face is Qi Tai Qi Shangli, and the one with a square face is Huang Zicheng and Huang Xiang.

Rotten is not an insult, but a fact

"Hmph, you and I will go our separate ways!" Huang Zicheng finally said.

"That's what I want," Qi Tai was not to be outdone.

"Hmph"

"Hmph"

The two of them each snorted coldly, and both walked out of the palace, leaving Zhu Yunwen stunned.

(No, no, the time for the palace gate to be locked is approaching.) ）

According to the regulations, the palace is locked from time to time, and the palace door is closed to isolate the inside and outside.

The guards closed the palace door on time. The closure of the door represents the end of today, and it also means that Xu Ruyi, who has not woken up yet, missed the meal.
