Six hundred and thirtieth eight chapters reward and punishment endgame
If Emperor Hongzhi, who had only one son, could be considered to have a difficult heir, then the direct lineage of Prince Ning, which had been passed down for two generations, was even more bizarre. Zhu Chenhao was not a direct descendant, and his biological mother, Feng, was born in a prostitute. He was an only son, even if
He was not named the crown prince. After his father passed away, he was granted the title of Prince Ning by the title of King Gao. Counting further up, his father Zhu Jinjun was also an only son. His grandfather Zhu Mianpei did have several brothers, but his brother Zhu Mianpei, King of Yiyang,
There was a quarrel, and in the end Zhu Dianxi committed suicide because of his mother's crime. However, another brother, King Ruichang, and his family had always had some contacts with the palace. In addition, King Yichun, who was vassalized by Prince Ning's palace, was the heir of Zhu Quan, the first king of Ning at that time.
Maybe it's because he wants to spread his branches, maybe because he has a romantic personality and good fertility. Zhu Chenhao is better than his father in terms of the fate of his children. In addition to the eldest son, he has four sons. The eldest son who has been granted the title of crown prince is only ten years old.
Years old, not to mention the younger sons. However, the fact that he has always been complacent about surpassing his grandfather and father has now become a joke.
Once he plots rebellion, even if he is a prince, how can any of his heirs survive?
Walking in Prince Ning's Mansion, which I led my men to attack yesterday, I thought of Prince Ning's Concubine Lou who took the crown prince into a trap and committed suicide. I also heard that Concubine Lou had repeatedly advised Zhu Chenhao but refused to listen. This Concubine Lou was from a famous Neo-Confucian scholar.
It can be said that he came from a scholarly family, and his father even had a teacher-student relationship with Wang Shouren. Xu Xun couldn't help but sigh. Therefore, when faced with the person who came to ask for instructions whether Zhu Chenhao and Concubine Lou should be buried in the same room.
, he shook his head: "I will bury Concubine Lou and the Crown Prince together, and separate them from Zhu Chenhao. I will wait until I report to the capital and comply with the emperor's order before we deal with them."
Starting yesterday, he transferred Zhou Yi, the Chief Secretary Yamen's Experience Department, Yan Shun, the former Dianbao of Prince Ning's Palace, and Chen Xuan and Liu Liang, the internal official, to take charge of cleaning up the property and various documents in Prince Ning's Palace. These four were
Faced with a riot that came and went quickly, those who were entrusted with important tasks were all deeply grateful, and naturally worked very hard in their work. Although only a small part was cleared, the stack of detailed notebooks still impressed
Xu Xun, who was browsing casually, was greatly surprised. After thinking for a moment, he casually drew out the two boxes of gold and silver from above.
"Yesterday's reward for killing the enemy in Nanchang's vanguard and accompanying retinue will be distributed first in the name of the emperor!"
Liu Fang, the commanding officer following behind, immediately said cautiously: "Master Marquis, the reward will have to wait for the imperial court to verify the merit..."
"Submit to authority when the matter is urgent. Since we promised a heavy reward at the beginning, we should not delay now. Do it immediately as I say. Also, if I know who dares to deduct the reward of a meritorious soldier, don't blame me for being ruthless when he turns around!"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
When Liu Fang retreated, Xu Xun saw that Zhou Yi was commanding several scribes to go around, and Yan Shun and others had no time to be distracted. He walked out of the circular hall, which has now become the inventory center of Prince Ning's Mansion. He came out with one kick.
He saw Gu Da walking up quickly in three steps and then two steps. Then he reached out and handed something over.
"The man in the iron mask that you asked me to check was only found on the street when the corpses were being collected. Because there were too many dead people and many of them had injuries to their heads and faces, it was difficult to find. In order to prevent the outbreak of epidemics,
The dead body must be sent to the incarnation field as soon as possible. If we want to continue to search, I'm afraid we will have to send more manpower..."
"No need." Xu Xun held the mask he had seen once, pondered for a moment and then asked Gu Dayong, "What can Prince Ning say about this person?"
"The people in Prince Ning's palace seem to be respectful and fearful of him. It is said that he is Prince Ning's right-hand man, and he is in charge of the money bag. The other Roddick who went to the capital is the think tank, and most of the ideas for killing people and stealing goods are his. Yes.
Well, there is another rumor, saying that after Old Liu assassinated King Ning, he was also in the elephant carriage and it was he who made the noise. Later, news came out that after King Ning died, he disappeared again." said
At this point, Gu Dayong paused, and then continued, "It shouldn't be a big deal on our side, because we are afraid of the capital..."...
"It's okay. Before I took action, I had already asked Babaili to rush the letter to the capital. Shenying should know what to do."
Zhang Caigeng knows what to do!
Xu Xun took a deep breath and decided to let go of Xu Bian's matter completely. No matter what happened in the elephant train yesterday, in short, Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao died and was assassinated by Liu Jin. This has already spread throughout the streets and alleys.
, acquiescence is the only way. No matter what role Xu Bian played in it, whether he is dead or has escaped, the truth may have been lost in the chaos.
Since that person had no intention of recognizing him back, he had no time to do unnecessary things. Just looking at what he did, it would be more appropriate to say that it harmed King Ning rather than helping him. If he didn't have that voice,
How could King Ning's guards be defeated like a mountain?
Just as he was thinking about the situation in the capital, a sergeant suddenly came over in a hurry, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Master Hou, Eunuch Gu, Nanchang Prefecture Magistrate Li Mengyang has just been found locked in an empty room, tied up tightly.
Yan Shishi. The young man was supposed to be untied, but he couldn't help but curse. According to outsiders, it was him who cursed Zhu Chenhao outside the palace yesterday. He was supposed to report it to Prince Ning, but he was ordered by the big shopkeeper to kidnap Guan Kong.
The house will be hungry for a few days, and we will deal with it after we return home in triumph."
This Li Mengyang is really... he was deceived by the false name of Corporal Ning Lixian earlier, and became a guest in Prince Ning's palace. When people rebelled, he ignored him and came to the door to curse him. This is really a first-class idiot!
Xu Xun thought for a while, but was too lazy to go there to see people to make fun of him. He immediately ordered: "Go and tell him that King Ning is dead. Most of the soldiers and horses guarding King Ning have been killed or captured. The rest of them have been killed."
The murderer is being hunted down with all his strength. Now I am in charge of Prince Ning’s Mansion. There is a mountain of things to do. If he doesn’t want to die, he can just go home and stay there. I don’t have time to pay attention to him!"
As someone who once beat Shouning Hou Zhang Heling in the street, as someone who once instigated Han Wenfu, the Minister of Household Affairs, to ask for the execution of the Eight Tigers, despite suffering heavy setbacks, he was first demoted to Shanxi and then transferred to Jiangxi, Li Mengyang was naturally not afraid of death. Therefore, when
Someone took off the rag that was gagging him. Even though he had not used dripping grains of rice all day and night, he still opened his mouth and cursed with great anger. All the scriptures cited were to accuse King Ning of being rebellious. Those who rebel will definitely end badly.
, even if people said that King Ning was dead, he didn't listen at all. It wasn't until the sergeant who started to report to Xu Xun came back and relayed Xu Xun's words loudly that he gradually stopped.
Has it subsided just like that? Just one day and one night after he was locked in this room, has it completely subsided?
Although someone else had mentioned this news just now, he didn't believe it at all at that time, but now facing the tone of the report, he still couldn't help but ask: "It has only been one day and one night, has Pingbei Marquis really been pacified?"
The rebellion of King Ning?"
"What a day and night, everything was calmed down during the day yesterday. Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao was killed by Eunuch Liu. Unfortunately, Eunuch Liu did not survive, and they both died together. As for the Marquis, he led the Nanchang vanguard to outflank him.
In Prince Ning's Mansion, the guard of Prince Ning in front was in chaos because of Prince Ning's death. They were rushed to pieces by the entourage brought by Marquis Pingbei and several father-in-laws, and they were completely cleared up without much effort!"
It was an understatement, but Li Mengyang slowly walked out of Prince Ning's Mansion with heavy steps, and when he faced the blood stains on the street that had not yet been washed away, he felt deeply depressed and depressed.
This was not the first time that he had misunderstood people. If he had not listened to the advice of his master Li Dongyang and instigated Han Wen Fukue, the Minister of Household Affairs, Han Wen would not have been almost killed by Liu Jin, and many people had stepped down; if it had not been
Attracted by the sincerity and generosity of Prince Ning's good writing, he would not be a guest at Prince Ning's palace. After hearing that people were causing trouble, he went to the gate of the palace with indescribable emotions and cursed. In the final analysis, it was a waste of money.
Moreover, it was He Jingming, Kang Hai and others who he had befriended in the capital in the past. How long had it been since he had written letters to anyone? Also, Zhu Chenhao was actually stabbed to death by Liu Jin. This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!
….
"Is it true that he is a useless scholar?"
While Nanchang Mansion was in a state of disaster, the capital city was also immersed in an indescribable depression. Emperor Zhengde claimed to have chickenpox and did not discuss politics in the Wenhua Palace for two full months. Although Li Dongyang and
Cabinet ministers such as Liu Yu, Cao Yuan, Zhang Cai, Zhang Fuhua, Lin Jun and other ministers were all summoned to the Qianqing Palace. They heard the little emperor say a few words and deal with several government affairs, but this did not
It cannot quell the panic that is gradually spreading between the government and the opposition.
I just got married today, and now I still have no heirs!
That evening, when Zhang Cai returned home from the official department, he was full of exhaustion. He had more than one or two leverage against Liu Yu and Cao Yuan. As long as he had the right opportunity, he could defeat them forever.
Turn over, but the problem is that now in the court, whether it is Xu Dang or Liu Dang, or Li Dongyang and those Qingliu, they are more concerned about what is going on with the emperor's illness and whether there will be any serious danger! And he
What's even more irritating is that Xu Xun has not been contacted again since he left!
Most people in the Liu Party are eager to recruit him. After all, he is now the most popular person in front of Liu Jin, and Liu Yu and Cao Yuan have gradually stepped aside. Does he really want to capture Liu Yu or Cao Yuan first?
Test reaction?
"Master, Miss Fengxian wants to see you."
Just as he was deep in thought, there was a sudden sound from outside the study. Hearing the faint voice of a concubine in the yard, Zhang Cai frowned tightly. Even though he never refused women sent by others.
, and even hinted that people would send beautiful concubines with their hands, but it did not mean that he would let these women of unknown origin affect the business. Therefore, he immediately made a gesture to the book boy standing next to him, and waited until someone
After going out, he thought that no one would disturb him, but after a while, he saw the book boy coming back quickly, came to his side and bowed deeply: "Master, Miss Fengxian said that it is an urgent matter."
Urgent?
Although there were still some doubts in his heart, Zhang Cai finally thought about it and left the study. When he saw the charming woman bowing Yingying, she took out a letter from her arms and presented it pitifully. He looked at it and
He took the letter and entered the study without reading it. After opening the seal and taking out the letter, he took a look. His expression immediately changed and he quickly returned to the desk.
It turned out to be Xu Xun’s left hand handwriting!
