In order to avoid accidents, Jiang Fan immediately sent someone to secretly keep an eye on Guo Zhen, Ling Yunkai and Mr. Beizhai.
Jinyiwei has also made some adjustments.
The treasure ship case is very implicated. Guo Zhen and Hokusai are both witnesses, especially Hokusai, who can directly target Xinwang.
Lu Wenzhao will definitely find a way to kill people and silence them.
As for Ling Yunkai, it was the sword Lu Wenzhao used to deal with Beizhai.
After all, Hokusai was King Nobu's confidante. If Lu Wenzhao let his cronies take action, King Nobu would be angered, so it would be most appropriate for an eunuch to take action.
By silencing Ling Yunkai afterwards, Lu Wenzhao could not only get out of the incident, but also win the favor of King Xin.
I have to say that Lu Wenzhao is very smart and capable, and he is ruthless and decisive in doing things. He is a person who does big things.
It's a pity that he miscalculated people's hearts and treated others as pawns. He never thought that he was just a pawn in King Xin's hands that could be discarded easily.
From the beginning, Lu Wenzhao was doomed to tragedy.
Whether King Xin succeeds or fails, Lu Wenzhao cannot escape death.
Because he knows too much!
King Xin Zhu Youjian was extremely suspicious and would never let anyone who knew that he wanted to kill his brother and succeed to the throne exist in the world.
Putting down the "Minutes of the Supervision of the Construction of Treasure Ships" and having nothing to do, Jiang Fan read the "Zhong Zhong Zhi" brought by Shen Lian.
"Zi Zhong Zhi" has twenty-four volumes, describing in detail the palace deeds from the Wanli Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty to the seven years of Tianqi.
It includes the daily life of the emperor, concubines and chamberlains, palace rules, duties of chamberlains, diet, clothing, etc.
Shen Lian only brought one of the volumes.
However, what caught Jiang Fan's attention was the shocking case recorded above - the "Wang Gong Factory Explosion"!
Changes occurred suddenly and suddenly hit the capital.
So far, we have been talking about Tianqi and Wang Gongchang.
In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, it is the sixth day of the fifth lunar month.
A loud noise shook the world and plunged the entire capital into catastrophic chaos.
After investigation, the explosion originated near the Wang Gong Gunpowder Factory in the southwest area of Beijing.
The scope of the explosion was about 750 meters in diameter and covered an area of three square kilometers. Tens of thousands of houses and more than 20,000 people were reduced to pieces.
The corpses of the victims were piled up in layers, and the broken limbs fell like rain from the sky. The dazzling blood and the fishy smell made it feel like hell had descended on the world.
This incident had a huge and far-reaching impact on the capital and even the entire Ming Dynasty.
There are many doubts in it.
There are also many fantastic rumors among the people.
It is said that on the day of the explosion, the sky was bright and clear in the capital, and suddenly there was a loud bang in the Wanggong Factory located in the southwest corner of the capital. At the same time, the whole earth began to shake violently, and misty soil and ash steamed up, covering the sky and the sun.
A huge mushroom rose up, and then the sky collapsed.
In an instant it was dark as night, and all the houses were in ruins!
It stretches from Fuchengmen in the east to Xingbu Street in the west, and is three to four miles long. All the houses, residents, and domestic animals in the surrounding thirteen miles have been reduced to rubble.
What's even weirder is that all the deceased were naked.
Many people disappeared en masse.
Among the dead, there were thousands of people with names and thousands more whose names were unknown. Among the craftsmen working on the palace, they fell from high places due to the huge earthquake, and more than 2,000 people died.
From time to time, limbs and arms were broken off along Chang'an Street, along with stones, wood, and poultry falling from the sky. The scene was horrific!
Among the dead were many officials.
The censors He Qianshu and Pan Yunyi were shocked to death in the Qianqing Palace. All the eunuchs who served Emperor Tianqi for breakfast were killed and no one survived.
Although Tianqi Emperor Zhu Youxiao survived, the Crown Prince Zhu Cijiong, who was under one year old, was frightened and died in the explosion...
Many people in the capital are still frightened when they talk about the Wanggong Factory explosion.
After reading the "Big Explosion of Wang Gong Factory" recorded in "Zhuizhongzhi".
On a whim, Jiang Fan entered the interior scene to see if he could solve this unsolved mystery.
【I want to know the truth about the Apocalypse Big Bang.】
As soon as he thought, a golden fireball with a diameter of two meters appeared in front of Jiang Fan's eyes, and Jiang Fan immediately felt a burning sensation.
Slip away!
Unexpectedly, the cause and effect involved in the Apocalypse Explosion was so huge, Jiang Fan immediately gave up the idea of exploring the answer and exited the scene.
Judging from the situation just now, if he wants to know the answer through the inside scene, he will have to shorten his life by at least ten years.
"It's not worth it, but it's a good thing it's gone quickly!"
Exiting the interior scene, Jiang Fan put away "Zhong Zhong Zhi" and drank a cup of tea to calm down his shock.
At this moment, several more groups of people came to deliver invitations, wanting to invite Jiang Fan to the banquet.
Because of Zhu Youxiao's high regard, Jiang Fan suddenly became an upstart in the DPRK, and naturally became the target of many officials.
Regardless of whether these officials are sincere or fake, socializing is essential.
According to the rules, after Jiang Fan was promoted, he had to visit his boss, which was equivalent to visiting the dock, and then host a banquet to entertain some close people.
There are many unspoken rules in officialdom, and Jiang Fan never tires of them. If it weren't for completing the main mission, he would really want these people to get as far away as possible.
Just when Jiang Fan was thinking about whose banquet he should go to.
In the palace.
Zhu Youzheng is listening to Wei Zhongxian's investigation report on Jiang Fan.
"So, there is no problem with Jiang Fan's identity."
After listening to Wei Zhongxian's information, Zhu Youxiao knew that Jiang Fan was not a member of the Donglin Party and felt that Jiang Fan could be reused.
Then Zhu Youxiao's face darkened and he asked: "How is the investigation going on the treasure ship sinking into the lake?"
At this time, Zhu Youxiao looked quite majestic, and Wei Zhongxian knelt directly on the ground: "Reporting to your Majesty, my servant has not investigated any useful clues yet."
Zhu Youxiao heard this and said coldly: "Then do you think this shipwreck was an accident, or was it done deliberately?"
Wei Zhongxian thought for a moment and replied: "I don't dare to speak nonsense."
"Keep an eye on the Donglin Party, these people have become more and more restless recently." Zhu Youxiao had a murderous intent in his eyes.
Since he ascended the throne, he has been in danger more than once or twice.
The last time I was almost killed was when there was a big explosion in Wang Gong Factory.
Although he was lucky enough to survive, the prince did not. Every time he thinks about it, he feels like a knife.
This time I visited Xiyuan on a whim and almost drowned. How could there be so many coincidences in the world? I really thought that he was an emperor who didn't know how to kill people.
In fact, Zhu Youxiao was not stupid, but rather shrewd. Jiang Fan and many others fell into preconceptions from the beginning, thinking that Zhu Youxiao was a foolish man who had no knowledge and skills and only loved carpentry.
This is not the case.
In terms of political strategy, imperial skills and city government, Zhu Youxiao was far superior to Zhu Youjian.
Usually it seems that he only loves carpentry, ignores government affairs, and allows Wei Zhongxian to control the court. This is all an illusion.
Without the support of Zhu Youxiao, how could Wei Zhongxian, an eunuch, have overwhelmed the ministers and made the Donglin Party unable to hold its head high?
When Zhu Youxiao succeeded to the throne at a young age, the power in the court was controlled by Donglin Party, Chu Party and other parties. On the grounds that Emperor Tianqi was young, he was not allowed to take charge.
Zhu Youxiao's decisions that benefited the country were rejected by these ministers who relied on their elders and betrayed them.
Faced with this situation, Zhu Youxiao had no choice but to push Wei Zhongxian to the front and cultivate eunuchs to compete with him.
Now the Chu Party has completely disappeared.
The Donglin Party was suppressed.
It can be said that the eunuch party was able to develop to such an extent because of Zhu Youxiao's secret instructions and single-handed promotion.
What the emperor pays attention to is a way of balance.
But now the eunuch party is indeed in a strong position, and even the Jin Yiwei, who are directly under the emperor's jurisdiction, has attached itself to Dongchang, so Zhu Youxiao wanted to cultivate a confidant to check and balance Dongchang and Xichang.
This has nothing to do with whether you trust Wei Zhongxian or not, but is a routine operation as an emperor.
On the other hand, after Zhu Youxiao came to power, he vigorously eradicated the eunuch party and killed hundreds of officials, making the Donglin party the dominant family in the court.
Since its establishment, the Donglin Party team has only done one thing, and that is constant internal fighting.
No matter what he does, he is the number one in internal fighting. He is simply the flat-headed brother in the officialdom. He fights with eunuchs, ministers from other factions, and the emperor.
Internal fighting is good, external fighting is for nothing!
In fact, when the Donglin Party was founded, it had good intentions.
At that time, the officials in Donglin were indeed upright and upright, neither flattering nor corrupt. Most of them had a scholarly character and could be regarded as loyal ministers and virtuous officials.
But as time goes by, Donglin officials gradually become corrupt and degenerate.
The boy who slayed the dragon finally turned into an evil dragon!
