The Xiaoling Guards were once an extremely elite unit under Zhu Yuanzhang. They could always entrust important tasks such as guarding the mausoleum to such an army. They were also given the largest land among all the guards, covering an area of nearly a quarter of the city of Nanjing.
, this is Zhu Yuanzhang's trust and favor towards them.
The ideal country in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind was the ancient pastoral life in which "we heard the sounds of chickens and dogs, and never interacted with each other until old age and death." He believed that giving land to these soldiers and guarding them forever was a person's greatest pursuit and pursuit.
Dreaming is the life they want most, but is this true?
Otherwise, just stay in the golden and prosperous place of the Six Dynasties, stay in the place where it is easiest to get rich and get promoted, and you are destined to be a gravekeeper and a farmer forever. The officers and soldiers of Xiaoling Guard are very disappointed. Everyone has it.
Desire, and they are no exception. Especially since the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 30 years, the soldiers of that time have long since become fathers, and some have even become grandfathers. What was once a person has become a large family.
At this time, land income alone could no longer satisfy their lives, so they quietly began to fend for themselves, letting Yu Ding of the family do business and transport, and then began to get involved in more political affairs.
It means they have military background, discipline, and martial arts skills. This industry makes it easier for them to make money.
Just like any country that advertises light, there is a special force that controls the power of darkness. Sometimes a power group wants to achieve a goal that cannot be achieved by normal and open means, and it also needs special forces. Especially the big ones in the military.
Man, they have to use their brains, and most of them will find solutions from within the army. And any guard station that suddenly loses a few people will attract attention. Only Xiaoling Guard——
After thirty years of evolution, the Xiaoling Guard is no longer an army in the true sense. They usually only need to send some soldiers to patrol Xiaoling and catch the common people who come to hunt pigweed at the base of the mountain. Other than that, they have nothing else to do, because
It is an open secret to make a living on one's own in Xiaoling Guard. No one will care if a family suddenly loses a member or leaves for some time, let alone ask questions. Therefore, some people in Xiaoling Guard will be replaced by others.
Among these people, the three assassins who died in Meiyuan, Hangzhou were included.
Xia Xun had already arranged for Qianlong to investigate the mastermind behind General Secretary Zhang Antai and others. Unfortunately, because their whereabouts were secretive and they took advantage of their official positions to mix some contacts and meetings into official contacts, it was difficult for them to be detected.
But Xia Xun did not give up. He knew that if there was any action, there would be flaws. As long as he investigated carefully, he would find out the truth sooner or later, so his investigation mission was never cancelled.
Gradually, Xia Xun's people discovered some clues. Especially after Xia Xun went to the prison, the vigilance of these people hiding in the sun was greatly reduced, and their actions began to be careless. So when they used the Xiaoling Guards
When the killers arrived at the layout in Hangzhou, they were already under the close surveillance of Xia Xun's people. As soon as Xia Xun landed, he received a secret report.
However, Qianlong's people still don't know who the top commander of these people is, so Xia Xun is determined to take advantage of the situation and deliberately let one of them go. In an emergency, the person who fails the mission is likely to give up the normal communication channels and directly contact the senior commander.
, it is a pity that Xia Xun's people tracked them all the way to the capital, until they entered Xiaoling Guards, and nothing more happened.
Only then did Xia Xun decide to let Jin Yiwei get involved. It was already obvious that this secret enemy was probably a senior general in the military system. The reason why Qianlong's people could never get closer was because this force was completely
His private power prevents him from using public weapons blatantly, but Jin Yiwei has no scruples in this regard.
Ji Gang had been inactive for a while and was feeling extremely bored when he suddenly got this opportunity. He was overjoyed and immediately sent Ji Younan, the most scheming of his eight kings, to take charge of the matter and lead people to investigate the suspects of Xiaolingwei.
Close surveillance.
The next morning, the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion came to Xiaoling Guard in person. He was shocked to hear that his younger sister and Yang Xu were about to get married.
Got in touch.
Xu Fu rushed to Xiaoling Guards and entered the house of a Fuqianhu. After half a day, he hurriedly said goodbye and left. Both parties immediately became the key surveillance targets of Jinyiwei. The news was sent to the Yamen of the Jinyiwei capital commander, Ji Gang.
Decide immediately: "Arrest people!"
The person following him has already figured out Xu Fu's identity. He refused to arrest him before because Ji Gang couldn't be sure whether the person he wanted to arrest knew the secrets of a higher level. If the trader caught some pawns, he would only be able to alert the snake, but Xu Fu...
The chief steward of Zhongshan Palace has much more power than the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister. If he doesn't know the real secret, then there is no chance of catching the mastermind behind it.
At the same time, Xu Fu also sent the news to the Fuguo Palace. After Xia Xun was notified, his first reaction was to arrest people immediately. When he learned that Ji Gang had taken action, Xia Xun nodded happily.
Xia Xun's heart became heavy as he sent away Yuan Jiang, the Jin Yiwei Qianhu who came to report the news. Xu Fu was involved in the case. Can Xu Huizu still be able to escape? Xia Xun ignored it, even he ignored it. He had never thought about that.
Xu Huizu, who has been banned from the government for a long time and has faded out of the sight of the government and the public, may actually be the real mastermind behind the scenes.
He is not worried about Xu Huizu, he is not Wu Song, but Xu Huizu is just a toothless tiger now. Once he discovers Xu Huizu's behavior, he will be nothing. What he is worried about is Ming'er, who is about to get married. At this time,
Something will happen to her brother. Although she has never forgiven her eldest brother for what he did because of what happened to her third brother, they are still close relatives after all. If they let her know about this on the occasion of their wedding, she...
Xia Xun paced in the hall worriedly.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Xu Fu is recruiting!
He was not afraid of death, really. When he was suddenly thrown to the ground by a few men in civilian clothes and quickly dragged into a boxcar passing by, so fast that he did not even attract the attention of a few passers-by, he was still a little dazed. Waiting
He entered Jinyiwei from the side door and realized that the situation was over. His first reaction was to commit suicide. The problem is that the people in Jinyiwei are not only good at killing people, but they also have the ability to prevent you from dying even if you want to.
Afterwards, he was sent to prison and his execution began.
He had only heard of it before, but he never knew that the pain of execution could drive people crazy. If a steel knife was put on his neck now and he threatened to kill him and his whole family, he would not tell a single word about his master.
, but his loyalty cannot make his nerves tough enough to ignore torture, the endless pain that can destroy almost everything.
When he endured the pain over and over again, after two hours, his will was finally destroyed. At this time, even if he was asked to admit that his mother had stolen someone, he was just a bastard, and he would agree without hesitation: "
No matter what, let me die first!"
Jin Yiwei's torture has such an effect that it can make a person with a strong sense of survival wish to die.
"Wei Guogong, Changxing Marquis..."
After receiving the confession, Zhu Tu, the leader of the Eight Great Vajras of the Jinyi Guards, didn't even have time to wash the blood on his hands, so he rushed to see Ji Gang excitedly. Ji Gang's eyes turned blue when he heard that, a father-in-law and a marquis, once these two people
After being arrested and implicated, how many officials will have to be found? Once this case is solved, his power and reputation will rise to the next level, and at the same time his personal pockets will also...
Ji Gang immediately snatched the blood-stained confession from Zhu Tu and put it in his sleeve. He ordered Zhu Tu to immediately send people to monitor the Zhongshan Palace and the Changxing Marquis Palace, and then he couldn't wait to enter the palace.
"The emperor is destined to carry the emperor, and he said: I have told Yang Xu to know that Miaojin, the princess of the Zhongshan Prince's Palace, the Xu family, has known you since childhood, and it is considered a destiny to marry. Miaojin is now an adult, with cicada temples and beautiful eyebrows. It is time to talk about it.
When it came time to get married, I saw that your appearance and character seemed to be a good match, so I betrothed Miao Brocade to you. May the two of you be a beautiful couple and have a deep love, just like mandarin ducks, flying together on your knees, sitting together with beautiful faces, and loving each other deeply.
Two bodies and one mind.
I would also like to inform the two ladies of the Yang family that Miao Jin has an excellent temperament, is smart, sensible, and kind-hearted. Since she is Yang Xu’s wife, she will never make things difficult for you. You should also respect her and do not do anything.
There should be no resentment, let alone hate each other. If a family is harmonious, everyone will be happy. If we turn against each other and have resentment, it is extremely unsightly. If I am a matchmaker, my face will be ugly. Now I will seal you two as first-class imperial edicts..."
After Mu En announced the decree, Yang Xu and his two wives kowtowed and thanked him. After receiving the decree, Xie Xie and Zi Qi had known that Yang Xu was in love with the little princess, but the emperor decreed the marriage. It was a bit unexpected, and when things came to a close, it was inevitable that there would be some confusion.
Uneasy. But the two of them were originally just first-class wives. Now the emperor has issued a decree, and they are the first-class wives appointed by the emperor. Although they are still first-class wives, they only add the word "gaoming". The difference is like a Jinshi and a fellow Jinshi. In the officialdom
The ladies' social statuses are very different. This is because the princess is taking advantage of them. It seems that the royal family does not want to bully them by relying on the power of the princess's natal family. This move is a great favor, and I don't know whether it is happiness or not.
I was worried. I glanced at Xia Xun quietly, and I was filled with thoughts that were hard to describe.
After Mu En announced the imperial edict, he handed his hands to Yang Xu, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "My lord, you have a beautiful wife, congratulations, congratulations!"
Xia Xun was worried about something, but it was hard for Mu En to see it, so he quickly cheered up, thanked him twice, and then invited him to sit down for tea. Mu En agreed with a smile, congratulated him without any hesitation, and said auspicious words.
Son, just as he sat down with his butt on the chair, Manager Xiao hurriedly ran in again and said to Xia Xun: "Master, someone has come from the palace to deliver the order again. Master Xuan will enter the palace immediately. I would like to see you in the palace!"
Xia Xun's heart skipped a beat. He knew that the emperor was going to ask for his opinion on Xu Huizu. How should decisions be made about national and family affairs, grudges and grudges? For a moment, Xia Xun was in a state of confusion...
p: It’s the 30th, and we’re counting down to the last two days of the month. Please vote if you have any votes, otherwise you’ll die in your hands. Please ***! Please recommend votes! Send a big red envelope to Yang Xu’s wedding!
Also: Xiaobei wishes Walker that all his wishes will come true in 2012. Has this book friend seen it? ^_^
Another note: When I was writing, I saw some interesting colloquial edicts, and I will recite a paragraph of each:
In the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an imperial edict: (the word "every" here means "people", and "zuojun" means "to surrender the army")
Tell the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs that the world is at peace now, and they don’t understand just the household registration! Teach the Zhongshu Province to prepare household registration records and household registration records for the whole country. You publish the list of each household and teach the officials who are in charge of them.
There should be common people, and they are all taught to attach their names to the officials, write down the number of people in their families, write it down accurately, and have the same household registration as the common people. Use a half seal to survey and collect all the people. My army will not go out now.
He taught them to go to various states and counties and go around the fields to conduct household comparisons. Those who were compared were considered to be good people. Those who were incomparable were used as soldiers. During the comparison, if there were any officials who had concealed something, they would be beheaded.
.Every time the people evade, they will collect the sins according to the law and use them as soldiers. I admire this.
Zhu Di’s imperial edict:
The Emperor of Fengtian carried the order and said:
To the west of the Han people's land, the leaders of the Western tribes in the grassland of Xishou are always close to me. Only Bili Abshu has come to pay tribute since my father, Emperor Taizu, Emperor Gao, captured the west. It means a lot.
Good. Now that I have ascended to the great position, I will not forget the kindness of my great ancestor, Emperor Gao, and know the way of heaven, so I send my nephew Abshu to the capital to pay tribute, which is very sincere. Seeing this good intention, I will
He was raised as a guard by thousands of households in Bili. The people in Zhongshushe carefully wrote down my words and edicts, and promoted him to the general of Mingwei. Biliwei commanded the general affairs, and his descendants did things for generations. The Xifan of my clan
Listen to the leader and lead him. If there is anyone who doesn't listen to the leader, he will be punished according to the law. Your soldiers will follow the order and don't be lazy.
On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in the first year of Yongle's reign, I issued the seal of fate."
Zhang Xianzhong's imperial edict is more straightforward^_^: "The Emperor of Heaven carries the edict: I told you not to go to Hanzhong, but you insisted on going to Hanzhong, and now you have lost many soldiers and horses. Donkey ball, **** your mother
