Zhou Miaoxuan, who had been chatting with Zhou Miaotong all night, found Jiang Fan who had finished his morning training.
"I have thought about it. I can tell you everything I know, but you have to ensure Miaotong's safety."
Now Zhou Miaoxuan is struggling with both his love and career, and he has a death wish in his heart. The only person he can't worry about is his younger sister.
"There is no problem with this. As long as you tell the truth, not only Miaotong, but I can also keep you alive. After the matter is over, you can choose to stay in the capital or go to where you want to go."
Jiang Fan decided to focus on his career and practice martial arts, and women would only affect his speed in completing the main mission.
Zhou Miaoxuan didn't really believe Jiang Fan's verbal promise, but she had no choice.
If you don’t believe it, you will die.
If you believe it, there may be a glimmer of hope!
That night, Jiang Fan disguised Zhou Miaoxuan as a Jin Yiwei and went to Fusi, Beizhen. After meeting with Lu Wenzhao, the imperial edict transferred Guo Zhen and asked both of them to pretend to be ordinary Jin Yiwei and go to the palace in the name of inspection.
Along the way, Jiang Fan keenly noticed that someone was watching his group.
Jiang Fan didn't take action personally, so naturally someone would deal with these monitors.
...
Lei Bin, who was hiding in the dark, flew up to the roof, looked at the man in black who was watching in the corner, raised his hand and shot a flying needle, killing the man watching on the spot.
During this period, in addition to making noodles and accompanying his wife and raising children at home, Lei Bin spent the rest of his time practicing "Rama's Internal Skills". His strength has improved greatly and is no longer weaker than the original Wheel-turning King.
With the blessing of internal strength, the lethality of his flying needles became stronger.
There may be a gap between him and the top masters in the world, but against ordinary warriors, he can kill them instantly.
Even with the rope, Ye Xianqing's progress is also not small.
Especially Ye Chanqing. Although she is a dissolute person, her martial arts talent is the highest among the three, and she has the potential to catch up from behind.
This woman just isn't restless, and lately she's often thinking about how to sleep with Jiang Fan.
Lian Sheng took over the Blackstone Killer Organization. Recently, Wei Zhongxian has not arranged any assassination missions for him. He mainly just collects some intelligence.
Among them are Jiang Fan and Xin Wang, both of whom Wei Zhongxian focuses on.
But Wei Zhongxian didn't know that Lian Sheng had surrendered to Jiang Fan a long time ago, and the collected information would be in Jiang Fan's hands immediately. The information Wei Zhongxian saw was only what Jiang Fan wanted him to see.
After obtaining "Rama's Internal Strength" and practicing diligently and hard, the old injuries on my body have healed to some extent, and I no longer need to be injured or tortured.
Thanks to Jiang Fan's kindness, Lian Sheng is considered the most loyal among the Black Stone killers.
...
There is a Blackstone Killer secretly escorting you.
The group of people arrived at the palace gate safely. After Jiang Fan showed the gold medal, the eunuch who had been waiting here opened the door and led the way for Jiang Fan and others.
After wandering around, they came to a heavily guarded side hall. Jiang Fan asked the accompanying Qinglong and others to wait outside, and took Guo Zhen, Zhou Miaoxuan and Lu Wenzhao into the hall.
Zhu Youxiao looked good today. When he saw Jiang Fan leading people into the palace, he said, "Jiang Aiqing, they are the witnesses you found."
"Reporting to Your Majesty, that's exactly it."
"Eunuch Guo Zhen of Dongchang needs no introduction. The person next to him is Lu Wenzhao of Jin Yiwei Qianhu. He once participated in the Battle of Saarhu with Guo Zhen, and later joined King Xin to work for him."
"Now that he has found his way back, I hope that he will be able to make meritorious service, and that your majesty will devote himself to his work."
"This is Zhou Miaoxuan, the daughter of the former imperial servant Shaoqing Zhou Chaorui."
"In the Wang Wenyan case, his father was arrested together with Yang Lian and five others, thrown into prison, and eventually tortured to death."
"After the Zhou family was confiscated, Zhou Miaoxuan was sent to the south of the Yangtze River to be a thin horse. On the way, he wanted to commit suicide and threw himself into the river. By chance, he was rescued by King Xin and became his confidant."
"After that, she followed King Xin and became King Xin's representative outside the country. She helped King Xin contact people from all sides who were inconvenient to meet in person."
"This is their testimony and the list of people involved in the case."
"All three of them are related to the treasure ship case. If your Majesty has any questions, you can ask them for confirmation."
Jiang Fan submitted the testimony to Wei Zhongxian, and then waited for Zhu Youxiao's disposal.
"Zhou Chaorui's daughter!"
After taking a look at Zhou Miaoxuan, Zhu Youxiao seemed to sigh.
He still had an impression of Zhou Chaorui, one of the Six Gentlemen of Donglin.
In fact, there have always been two factions within the Donglin Party.
One of the factions is the more moderate reformist faction.
The other faction is the radical power-seeking faction.
The moderates advocate coexistence with other factions and win their support to reform the social problems of the Ming Dynasty. They feel that they should try to be as official as possible and avoid fierce party disputes.
The other faction believes that the other factions are powerful groups with very serious interests and cannot easily give up power and will definitely continue to practice favoritism. Therefore, if the Donglin Party wants to reform the Ming Dynasty, it must drive them out of the court and seize their power.
Zhou Chaorui was on the moderate side. After Ming Guangzong succeeded to the throne, he was promoted to Shi Ke Shizhong, appointed benevolent and capable people, promoted the emperor's favor, and requested that the gold and silver donated by various places be left to help build the army.
Later, because of his outspoken advice, Ming Guangzong was displeased and demoted from his official position.
After Zhu Youxiao succeeded to the throne, he issued an edict to restore his official position and accepted Zhou Chaorui's suggestions many times.
In the second year of Tianqi, Zhou Chaorui and Xu Dahua slandered each other, were defeated in the party struggle, and died unjustly in prison.
Zhu Youxiao actually knew that Zhou Chaorui was a capable minister, but it was a pity that he was on the wrong team.
In the court, there are no absolute good guys and bad guys. The most important thing is that you have to stand in line.
Standing on the wind, even a pig can fly.
Otherwise, even the famous minister Yu Qian would end up with his head and body in a different place!
After receiving the testimony handed over by Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youxiao frowned more and more as he looked at it, his heart heaved violently, and he was obviously very angry.
He did not expect that there would be so many people looking forward to his death, including his own brother, which was the most unacceptable to him.
He has been disliked since he was a child, but he takes great care of his younger brother.
He had been in danger several times before and his own heir was killed. He had never doubted his younger brother Zhu Youjian. He even wanted to suppress the Donglin Party and expel the Jiannu. When the world was at peace, he would pass the throne to him and live a leisurely life.
The carpenter prince.
As a result, this younger brother wanted him dead, and even participated in the case of killing the prince.
From the beginning, Zhu Youxiao actually didn't want to be an emperor. He really liked carpentry. If he hadn't grown up in an imperial family, he would definitely be an outstanding craftsman.
But being born into the royal family, he had no choice.
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, at the beginning of his succession, the court was riddled with holes, Liaodong was invaded by the Later Jin Dynasty, and civil unrest broke out all over the territory.
In the imperial court, there were constant party disputes, which prevented Zhu Youxiao from flexing his muscles and had to push Wei Zhongxian to the front, which allowed the eunuch party to develop and grow, and then gradually stabilized the situation.
In order to stabilize the country, he defied all opinions and appointed Mao Wenlong to guard Liaodong. He worked hard to gradually calm down the chaos in Liaodong, giving Ming Dynasty a chance to breathe.
Later, agricultural taxes were reduced and industrial and commercial taxes were increased, so that there was enough money to expand the army, stabilize the Ming Dynasty's borders, and reduce civil unrest.
Everything he has done, endured hardships, and silently endured the name of a faint king, is not because he wants to hand over a peaceful and prosperous age to his younger brother.
Seven years, do you know how I lived these seven years?
A former illiterate carpenter who loves art has to do carpentry while stabilizing the overall situation in a complicated situation. Why don't you understand the bitterness and difficulties involved?
