I am the king of the dead

To be king.

When he became an emperor, he had to defeat the invaders of the Oara army, and he had to kill the previous emperor Zhu Qizhen.

Which of these things is not accompanied by a bloody storm?What happens when the family gets involved in these disputes?

"My concubine understands." Wang Meilin frowned slightly, but nodded in response.

Hang Xian hesitated, she wanted to speak, but Princess Yun was here, so she didn't know how to speak.

Zhu Qiyu thought of Zhu Jianshen, the two-year-old prince in the palace, and then looked at Zhu Jianji, his one-year-old son, and slowly began to care about it.

As Zhu Qizhen's child, Zhu Jianshen must be abolished, so Zhu Jianji is the replacement.

He smiled and asked: "Concubine Hang can say anything if she has something to say. They are all family members. If you have something to say, it doesn't matter."

Hang Xian glanced at Princess Yun, and then said timidly, "Your Highness, my concubine just wanted to ask, Your Highness, Your Highness, I haven't eaten dinner today, is it warm?"

Zhu Qiyu blinked, a little stunned, then nodded and said, "warm it up, princess, go to sleep first."

This arrangement made Wang Meilin's brows wrinkle even deeper. She glanced at Hang Xian and left the study with her daughter in her arms.

After Wang Meilin walked away, Zhu Qiyu said very seriously: "From tomorrow onwards, all of Ji'er's meals must be tasted before they are fed. You will ask Xing'an for a luxury member tomorrow and change them regularly, have you heard?"

The extravagant members are eunuchs who specialize in tasting dishes for the royal family. They are all served by people trusted by the palace. For example, Zhu Qiyu's extravagant member is Xing'an.

Hang Xian's little face was full of confusion. She didn't quite understand why her husband urged this matter so solemnly.

But her face became paler and paler. From Zhu Qiyu's words, she knew that someone might attack her child.

"His Royal Highness." Hang Xian's hand trembled and grabbed Zhu Qiyu's hand. She was very frightened. The only person she could rely on was Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Qiyu said with relief: "It's not so dangerous for the time being."

Chapter 11 Who gave you the guts

Zhu Qiyu looked at Hang Xian's worried expression and showed a reassuring smile. He motioned to Hang Xian to warm up the evening meal, while he sat in the study and watched the rainy courtyard.

Since he wants to be an emperor, he must be prepared to put all the chips on it. History has also proved that his caution is not wrong.

After the Ming Dynasty in history, after turning the tide, the Mingjun for eight years replaced the prince from Zhu Jianshen to his own son Zhu Jianji.

Zhu Jianji died the following year.

Ming Dynasty Zong himself was in his prime but suffered from a serious illness. After the change of the door, Zhu Qizhen became emperor again. Ming Dynasty Zong died in the palace within a month.

And her own daughter, Princess Gu'an, the little girl held in Wang Meilin's arms, was also downgraded to the county master.

Princess Yun, the future queen Wang Meilin, after the restoration of Zhu Qizhen, because he brought a few pieces of jade out of the palace, Zhu Qizhen directly copied the palace of Yun Wang.

After Zhu Jianji's death, Hang Xian was unhappy, grief-stricken, unable to afford a long illness, and finally passed away. After Zhu Qizhen's restoration, Hang Xian's tomb was destroyed, leaving no bones.

What a tragic ending is this?

He is not the kind Zhu Qiyu, but a person who came from later generations, and naturally he will not be bound by this feudal etiquette.

The heavy rain poured down, knocking down slightly yellow leaves, raindrops fell on the courtyard, the sound of rubbing filled the entire courtyard, and gusts of cool wind swirled in the courtyard.

At this time, Xing'an had already obtained the waist card for lifting the palace ban, but this waist card was in the hands of Jin Yiwei. He did not pass it, but let the general and commander of Jin Yiwei carry this waist card.

Xing'an is more cautious than Yu Qian imagined.

Highlight a cautious.

When it comes to expediency, he wants to carry out His Highness King Yu's order to clean the palace, and naturally he has to rely on Jin Yiwei, but Jin Yiwei is the emperor's own army, if he touches that waist card, he is courting death.

Even if His Highness trusted him, the courtiers would not allow him to live.

But Jin Yiwei holds the waist card and shows it everywhere, so it will not be implemented.

Hello, me, everyone, how to carry out His Highness's orders thoroughly without causing trouble for himself is his duty as a valet.

Xing'an summoned all the palace servants and gathered in the square outside Fengtian Palace. Everyone knelt in the rain, including the eunuch Jin Ying, the prefect of the Lijian.

Jin Ying knelt on the ground and shrunk, afraid of being seen by Xing An.

The Han general of Jinyiwei pulled up batches of palace eunuchs from the ground with weapons and pulled them out of the Meridian Gate.

"The empress dowager has made a decree. Everyone who wants to come will know it. We don't need to go into details. Now there is something. Datong guards the eunuch Guo Jing."

"At the end of November of the tenth year of the orthodoxy, a large number of armor and weapons, bows, arrows, and cannons were found among the items accompanying the envoys of Oara."

"In September of the 12th year of Zhengtong, the Oala envoy bribed Guo Jing with a thousand horses."

"July of the 13th year of Orthodoxy..."

He eloquently said a lot of things, all of which were the case of Guo Jing's close contact with Oara and the sale of firearms and steel feathers.

"Someone is involved, stand up now, our family can spare your life, and if someone knows about it, we can give you a reward if you say it at this time. If someone is lucky, the torture tools of Beizhen Fusi will not lie. people."

Xing'an's voice was not loud, and in the sound of the rain, it was even more ambiguous, but all the palace officials present pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

Guo Jing, the eunuch guarding Datong, was one of the war criminals on the list of yin-knot prisoners that Yu Qian pulled out. After the sudden change in Tumu Fort, this person was trembling in Datong, and the Jinyi Wei Tiqi had already left the capital to arrest Guo Jing.

And Guo Jing's disciples and grandchildren in the palace are also the targets of censorship, and Xing'an is taking advantage of it.

Some people kept standing up from the rain, some crawled away to Jin Yiwei, waiting for the trial, some roared and wanted to rush to the platform, trying to kill Xing'an, and some grabbed the ground with their heads, crying loudly. .

Xing An looked at Jin Ying who was kneeling on the ground motionless, and asked with a smile, "Jin Dajian, what's wrong?"

鏰, is a kind of crown ornament, and the big 鏰 is often used to describe various eunuchs in power.

Jin Ying still did not speak, kneeling on the ground without saying a word.

"The prince has already been killed in Tumu Fort by General Fan Zhong's staff. Jin Dajian is preparing to wait for the prince to return to his soul and continue to protect you?" Xing'an stood up, walked in front of Jin Ying, lowered his head and asked. road.

Wang Gonggong is Wang Zhen, the ancestor of the previous palace.

Wang Zhen died, and the most promising person in the palace to be the ancestor was Jin Ying, but the emperor in the palace was never based on seniority, but based on his proximity to the emperor.

Jin Ying raised his head, bloodshot eyes in his eyes, and he said with a hideous face: "Xing'an! What you did today, I will tell the Empress Dowager truthfully, and when the emperor returns to the court, it will be your death in Xing'an."

Xing An Yile, motioned Jin Yiwei to take Jin Ying away, Guo Jing embezzled so much money and smuggled arms, and Jin Ying should know exactly where the money went.

When Jin Ying was dragged away, he shouted and struggled, "Xing'an, you are a villain! You can't die easily."

"I tell you! When the emperor returns to the dynasty, you will surely die. Our family will let the emperor slash you with thousands of swords, and destroy your nine clans! Fang Jie's heart is full of hatred!"

Nine clans?Xing'an was stunned for a while, he was an orphan since he was a child, where did the nine clans come from?

The cleaning of the house in Xing'an is not a simple matter of involving Jin Yiwei. There are also various provisions on mutual accusations, thoroughly implementing His Royal Highness's spirit of pulling a group and fighting a group, and carefully cleaning the inside and outside of the palace.

He didn't rest all day, searched the entire palace inside and out, dug three feet into the ground, and uncovered the tiles on the house.Of course, Xing'an did not dare to forget about finding a place to bury Jin Ying.

Many palace servants brought items from the palace to sell out of the palace. These items could not be taken out of the palace for a while and were searched out.

Similar to it, there are all kinds of medicines and stones. The imperial physicians of the Taiyuan Hospital have identified them individually, among which there are many medicines of tigers and wolves.

Not only that, Xing'an also found a lot of secret letter wax pills, witch villains and so on.

These things were piled up on the small square, and the palace people were wailing, and Xing'an did not pay attention.

The interrogation continued until the sky was slightly brighter.

Xing'an looked at the shivering palace eunuchs, and said loudly: "The sky is about to dawn, you still have masters to serve, and I will not waste your time."

"Those who know the clues can go to the Inner Officials' Supervisor to find me. There will be many rewards. Let's go."

"Thank you old ancestor." I don't know who took the lead and shouted, the palace eunuchs first kowtowed, then slowly stood up and went to the palaces.

Xing'an is really serious about cleaning.

Such a big movement naturally also alarmed the empress dowager and queen who had just woken up.

Before Empress Dowager Sun and Qian Shi came to Fengtian Temple together, they looked at Xing'an on the platform with extreme anger.

Xing'an hurried off the platform to salute.

"Xing'an, who gave you the courage, how dare you do this!" Empress Dowager Sun reprimanded loudly.

Xing'an said neither humble nor arrogant: "Guo Jingli has access to foreign countries, and I have been ordered by His Royal Highness King Yu to cooperate with all ministries to thoroughly investigate this case."

"It was His Royal Highness King Yu who gave this minister such courage."

Right now, Daming needs an emperor, and His Royal Highness King Yu is a suitable candidate. The courtiers are together, the emperor and the courtier. Since they have agreed to King Yu's ascension to the throne, they can only turn a blind eye to the cleaning.

Xing'an held a ledger in his hand, and his face was quite solemn.

Guo Jing's money was given to Wang Zhen, and Wang Zhen's money...was given to Zhu Qizhen.

Chapter 12 hang!

Empress Dowager Sun's angry face changed, such a bold dog slave, how dare to say such a thing!

She was about to let someone take Xing'an, but was pulled by Qian's arm. Empress Dowager Sun was panting, but she did not order to take Xing'an.

On the Golden Brick Square, all the Jinyiwei are standing, and these Jinyiwei are obviously listening to Xing'an's orders.

The commander of Jinyiwei, Ma Shun, was killed by the Dangdian, and the current commander, Lu Zhong, chose to stand in line and stood on the side of King Yu.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, Queen, the ministers checked the inside and outside of the palace overnight. At present, only the Cining Palace and Kunning Palace have not been checked. I also ask the Queen Mother and Queen to forgive their sins." Xing'an bowed his head again, and his etiquette could not be faulted, but he did thing, but it's really cruel.

Looking through the Queen Mother's palace, what kind of absurdity is this?

But Xing'an received an order to clean the palace, and the queen dowager and the queen's bedroom were naturally within the scope of the palace.

"You!" Empress Dowager Sun's face changed suddenly, she was furious to the extreme, flicked her sleeves violently, and left Fengtian Palace.

Zhu Qiyu learned through Cheng Jing, the eunuch of the internal official supervisor, that it turned out that the early court of the Ming Dynasty did not go to court every day.

To be precise, in the period of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, there were not only morning dynasties, but also noon dynasties and evening dynasties every day.

When Zhu Gaochi was the Renzong Dynasty, the noon and evening dynasties were cancelled, and then when the famous "cricket" emperor Zhu Zhanji, that is, the first emperor, the early dynasties became three-day dynasties.

In Zhu Qizhen's time, he didn't go to court every five days or even a month, and when he went to court completely depended on Zhu Qizhen's mood.

Zhu Qiyu didn't go to the palace. He regarded the study of Prince Yu's mansion as a place to deal with official documents.

"His Royal Highness, the minister is back." Xing'an's eyes were bloodshot, and he handed over the ledger to his Highness King Yu.

There have long been rumors that Guo Jing and the eunuchs who went to various towns to guard the eunuchs smuggled to the Oirat and the Yuan descendants, but where did the money go for such a big deal and profit?

The majority belonged to Zhu Qizhen.

When Zhu Qiyu looked at the ledger, his scalp felt numb, and his whole body felt agitated.

Smuggling and selling firearms and steel feathers will eventually turn into arrows and firearms aimed at Daming!

How can the king of a country take the lead in such a thing as a foreign country!

He has exhausted his imagination to imagine Zhu Qizhen's lower limit, but this person is still far beyond Zhu Qiyu's expectations.

It is not uncommon for monarchs and ministers to conspire to make money. For example, Qianlong and Heshen jointly developed a method of negotiating crime and blackmailing courtiers from time to time.

The courtiers were blackmailed, and naturally they were apportioned layer by layer, which accelerated the corruption of officials in the Qing court, and eventually led to corruption in the Qing court since Qianlong, and it will never end.

Zhu Qizhen loves money, but you can go on a fleet sailing!Isn't it fragrant to buy low and sell high at both ends?Do you have to pick up this money?

Zhu Qiyu closed the ledger with a bang, his head hurting with anger.

Tiqi went out of Beijing to catch Qi very quickly. One of the people on the list that Yu Qian pulled out was thrown into the Beizhen Fusi within five days.

There are 16 people, including eunuchs, generals, civil servants, and relatives.

As the case progressed, a group of Minggongs were also added to the list, totaling about 53 people, and thousands of people were exiled in Qiongzhou, Lingnan.

Zhu Qiyu fulfilled his promise and personally imprisoned. He sat on the top of the Meridian Gate and looked at the execution ground in front of the Meridian Gate.

The matter of today's beheading was spread by the yamen of Shuntian Prefecture yesterday, and there were many people surrounding the execution ground at this time.

Zhu Qiyu was very sure that those were ordinary people, because most of them were worn out, and their shoes were mainly straw sandals.

"Where's Yu Qian?" Zhu Qiyu looked at the sun, and before three o'clock noon, he turned his head and asked Xing'an, Yu Qian was not there on such an important occasion.

Xing'an bowed his head and said, "Yu Shangshu went to Tongzhou to transport grain, and he personally monitored it, but Yu Shangshu offended many people."

Zhu Qiyu frowned, why did he offend people when the food arrived in Beijing?

Aren't those grains all the taxes of the imperial court?

From Tongzhou to the capital, the distance of fifty miles is full, and is it still used for Qian to go out in person?

"Jin Shangshu." Zhu Qiyu turned his head and asked Jin Lian, the minister of households, who asked his inner doubts.

Jin Lian's face was filled with embarrassment, and he briefly explained the doorway.
