Chapter 3095
After listening to Cai Jue's words, Qu Rentian shook his head and said, "If your Excellency acts like this, a disaster will surely befall you. Not only will your official position be lost, but your wealth and life will also be ruined."
Cai Jue was frightened when he heard what Dian Rentian said. However, after all, he had been up and down in the officialdom for many years, so he remained calm and said, "Sir, I don't understand what you said. Since someone is pretending to be Emperor Jianwen, this
This is a major case, and we must send someone to arrest him immediately. Otherwise, I cannot afford to blame the imperial court. If this person is really Emperor Jianwen, I must send someone to arrest him immediately, otherwise
The emperor will never let me go. I am in a hurry to return to the governor's office and dispatch an official to catch the person quickly. What's wrong with that?"
After listening to Cai Jue's words, Qu Rentian smiled and said, "Sir, the student has a few words that he wants to say to you. But once these words are spoken, I'm afraid you won't let the student go."
Cai Jue didn't expect Qu Rentian to say such a sentence, and he became more and more puzzled. He glanced at Qu Rentian and said, "Where did you come from? What did you say? In recent years, I have regarded you as a bastard.
All matters, big or small, are left to your husband's disposal, and even some mundane matters in my family must be discussed with my husband. I am confident that I will confide in you and tell you nothing, so how can I get into trouble with you just because of a few words?"
Qu Rentian raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty is right. Ever since I became your guest, your Majesty has placed your trust in me, and I am very grateful. It is precisely because I am grateful that I have shown my sincerity to you, that I know you want to offend your Majesty, but you still have to deal with me."
Say these few words. After the student has finished speaking, if you want to kill the student, you can do it. But the student's old mother doesn't know about this, and I hope that after killing the student, you can leave a way for my mother to live."
Seeing Qu Rentian's solemn words, Cai Jue became more and more puzzled and a little uneasy. After thinking for a moment, he said to Qu Rentian: "Sir, don't worry. No matter what you say, I will never
I will not offend you, sir. If you violate this oath, God will bring disaster to me and I will not have a good death."
Qu Rentian listened to Cai Jue's oath, smiled slightly, and said: "My lord, you don't need to swear too hard. The student is just a commoner, life and death are insignificant. However, my lord is in charge of Guangdong, and as a feudal official, he has always been fair and strict, and his official reputation is excellent.
He is deeply loved by the people. The students are loyal to the adults, not only because the adults rely on the students so much that the students have to die in return, but also because the adults are an upright and good official who loves the people as his son. The students cannot bear to be like the adults.
Only when a good official is harmed by a traitor will he make suggestions for you."
The more Cai Jue listened, the more puzzled he became, and he said, "I am getting more and more confused when Sir speaks like this. What happened to make Sir speak so solemnly?"
Qu Rentian pondered for a moment and then said: "During the Battle of Jingnan in the past, the current emperor raised troops in Peiping to fight against Emperor Jianwen. Although the current emperor was granted the title of King Yan at that time, in terms of strength, he could not compete with the imperial court.
To fight against each other. Officials from all over the country, big and small, wrote to Emperor Jianwen one after another, denounced the King of Yan for his rebellion. He was a rebellious minister and had to be cut into pieces in order to deter those rebellious ministers and traitors who harbored evil intentions. For a while, the imperial court and the
Officials from all over the country were furious and wrote to the court, wishing they could eat King Yan's skin and blood in order to let Emperor Jianwen know their loyalty."
When Dian Rentian said this, he glanced at Cai Jue and did not continue to speak. The more Cai Jue listened, the more frightened he became. He laughed twice and said: "The King of Yan has been stationed in Peiping for a long time, defending the court against the Tatars, and has established an unparalleled policy."
Amazing achievements. But he was not in the center, the court and officials from various places did not know about his achievements, and he was deceived by Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and other treacherous villains. They wrote a letter to accuse King Yan, but it was not a big deal. After King Yan conquered Nanjing,
He burned all the letters found in the palace in front of all the officials to show that he would not kill the ministers. No one knew about this matter, no matter how big or small the officials were. In gratitude to King Yan for his kindness, no one was willing to serve as Emperor Jianwen anymore.
Serve your life. The safe accession of King Yan to the throne is closely related to this matter. Otherwise, although the Yan army captured Nanjing City, most states, prefectures and counties in the world still regard Emperor Jianwen as Zhengshuo. If they attack in groups,
King Yan may not be able to sit firmly on the throne. Even if he can finally suppress the rebellion in various places, his vitality will have to be severely damaged. By then, the Tatars will take the opportunity to go south, and the Ming Dynasty will be in danger."
When Cai Jue said this, he paused briefly, glanced at Qu Rentian, and then continued: "When Mr. Qu mentioned the past, I felt strange. I wonder what these old things have to do with me."
Qu Rentian chuckled and said: "This matter has a lot to do with your Majesty. At that time, your Majesty was the magistrate of Jeju Prefecture. When Geng Bingwen sent troops for the Northern Expedition, the magistrates and magistrates of twenty-seven prefectures in three provinces jointly submitted a letter to denounce Yan.
When the king made a rebellion and asked the imperial court to kill King Yan’s family, didn’t he also have your name in it? It’s just that at that time, my name was Cai Mi, but later it was changed to Cai Jue.”
What Cai Jue feared most in his life was this past incident. Although more than ten years had passed since the incident, and Zhu Di did not embarrass him after he ascended the throne, Cai Jue had trouble sleeping and eating every time he thought about it. He knew that Zhu Di
He was extremely cruel, and he was a man who was determined to retaliate. When he conquered the city of Nanjing, he searched the palace and found memorials written by officials from various places to express their loyalty to Emperor Jianwen. With his temperament, he was probably going crazy with anger. However, although the Yan army
Nanjing was conquered, but only a few cities including Peiping and Nanjing were captured. Tie Xuan and others guarded Jinan Prefecture. Peiping was surrounded by the southern army, and the prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River were not damaged at all. Once someone raised their arms and shouted,
, officers and soldiers from all over the country rose up to serve the king, and all his troops had to be killed. Therefore, he could only suppress his anger and burn those memorials and documents in front of all the officials, to show that he would not hold the various places accountable.
Officials use this to win people's hearts.
When Cai Jue heard in Jeju Prefecture that the Yan army had conquered Nanjing, he was so frightened that he almost fainted. Later, he heard that King Yan had burned memorials and documents outside the palace, and he felt relieved. But he was afraid that Zhu Di would fall out again after he secured the throne.
He changed his name to kill people, hoping to avoid trouble. In the following years, except for killing Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and other close officials of Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Di did not implicate other officials. Cai Jue thought that Zhu Di was not
He would look into the past events again, and then he felt relieved. When he heard Qu Rentian mention the matter again, he was stunned and stared at Qu Rentian with his eyes blankly, and said in a trembling voice: "You, who are you?
Why would you know this..."
