After a long time, Zhu Gaojie slowly opened his eyes and said: "Guoguo, I know that you are very smart. You and I are the same type of people. We are born to know how to control power and how to use power."
"But you have to know that power is a big flag. Even if you stand high, the wind coming in your face will be more fierce. Standing in this position, you will inevitably be exposed to countless open and covert arrows, and rain of swords, guns, and arrows."
"Can the two countries, with the bodies of young children, be able to withstand the wind coming from all directions?"
…
Zhu Gaojie walked out of the palace and saw Chi Rong waiting in front of the door.
He warned: "Songlu Guards will be recruited to lead the army. I will give you a name and a seal in the Wenhua Palace. You will have to go to the Ministry of War to get it stamped by the Minister of the Ministry of War. Don't worry, I will say hello in advance. You
Just take a trip."
"In different places of the capital's defense, everyone from the commander to the sergeant must belong to the team to which they belong. When they are on duty, the whole team must be on duty, and others are not allowed to take over. If there is a shortage of people in a team,
Then, the whole team must be replaced with another team, and the team must not be broken up to make up for the positions. Anyone who violates the regulations will be severely punished. Those who report illegal substitutions will be rewarded."
"All internal officials, envoys, servants, etc. must check the bronze talisman before passing through; if they are allowed to pass without the bronze talisman, the garrison sergeant will punish them with a serious crime."
"..."
He said a lot in succession, and Chirong nodded: "Prince, don't worry, I all understand."
After Zhu Gaojie finished his instructions, he turned around and walked in the direction of Wenhua Hall.
…
Fujian, Chief Envoy Si Yamen.
Xu Zheng walked slowly into Huangceku. He was thirty-five years old this year. He was an official in charge of the Yamen Council and was ranked fourth grade. Although the political councilors and councilors in the Yamen were informal departments, he also oversaw the tax collection of grain roads.
The Liang and Du Ce Dao are responsible for the Yellow Register and the Fish Scale Register, and the Branch Shougang Dao is responsible for the civil affairs of several prefectures. The oil, water and authority are still sufficient.
This year, the imperial court was keeping a close eye on Huang Ceku. Xu Zheng felt that he might still be able to take another step forward. He wanted to make progress so much.
After walking into Huangceku, Xu Zheng was dumbfounded.
The yellow book library of the Fujian Chief Envoy's Yamen was in a mess. The yellow books that the Yamen had worked so hard to collect were lying scattered on the ground, as if they had been gored by a dog, scratched here and there.
.
"Pfft~"
There was a suspected fart sound in the yellow book library. Two or three pages of yellow paper were rolled up. Someone crawled out of the yellow book library. He looked like a beggar. He was slovenly. His face was too miserable to look at, except for a pair of bright eyes.
Youshen flipped through one booklet after another. After reading it, he threw it aside and started reading the next one again.
Xu Zhengren was stunned: "How did you get in?"
Although the Huangceku of the Chief Envoy Si Yamen is not as patrolled by soldiers day and night as the Huangceku in the capital, it can be said to be heavily defended. This beggar-like... thing, how did he sneak in?
Is he misbehaving in Curry?
"Oh, are you talking about me?"
The man picked his nostrils and said unabashedly, "At three quarters in the afternoon, your Huang Ceku changed defenses. There was less than half a cup of tea left, so I climbed over the wall and slipped in."
Xu Zheng said quietly: "The wall of Huangceku is over two feet high."
The man chuckled: "It's okay. I'm used to climbing over walls. A wall more than two feet tall is nothing in front of me."
Before Xu Zheng could say anything else, the man's eyes suddenly became focused, like a prairie eagle locking its prey, sharp and fierce.
This momentum frightened Xu Zheng so much that he didn't even dare to take a breath.
The man said slowly: "Take a few people with you, come with me, and come with me to catch someone."
Xu Zheng was so disoriented.
What the hell!
There is a thief in your home, and the thief still feels confident?
"Ding Dong."
The man threw a gold medal over casually. Xu Zheng picked it up and looked at it, and immediately said: "I am willing to do my best for you!"
I saw a line of small words written on the waist tag:
Hu Xi, the Minister of Rites.
The imperial envoys were ordered to patrol various provinces.
This man is the imperial envoy who has been ordered by the emperor to investigate the actual situation in various provinces.
Even if the chief envoy comes, he still has to call out "Master Hu" respectfully.
…
In the wilderness, there is smoke from cooking, and a few private houses form a small village. It looks like a fairyland, isolated from the world.
Inside the house, the monks sat cross-legged on futons, chanting sutras and chanting Buddha's name.
Just separated by a wall, there were more than a dozen shadow attendants wearing armor and sabers, covering their faces, discussing something in a low voice.
One person asked: "That beast Hu Xi is chasing after you again. Why are you still hanging around here if you don't tell His Majesty to leave first?"
Another person said: "Why are we running? Who is Hu Hui? He is just a dog raised by Zhu Di. He has been chasing us for so many years like a dog. Let's kill him with one knife!"
The man who spoke just now was shocked and angry: "You are crazy. His Majesty said that we are not allowed to kill. You killed Hu Hui for a small thing. You resisted the order. Aren't you afraid of losing your head!"
The person who spoke before shrugged: "If you lose your head, it will be mine. Anyway, I don't want the dog Hu Hui to chase you anymore. If anything happens, I will carry it alone. It has nothing to do with you."
"If you really treat me as a brother, don't get involved in this matter and let me solve it alone. As for Hu Ming, I can twist his head off and use it as a Cuju kick with just one hand!"
The shadow attendants around him fell silent.
They also had enough of Hu Hui.
But it's not that they feel ashamed of being chased away by Hu Hui, but because His Majesty has been chased away by Hu Hui all the time. They, the ministers, really feel ashamed.
He was just a Hu Xi. If you wanted to kill him, you would have killed him long ago.
It's just that I haven't dared to take action because of His Majesty's will.
But now Hu Hui is chasing closer and closer, and they can't bear it anymore!
Hu Xi, you deserve to die!
…
In the Wenhua Hall, Zhu Gaojie picked up a piece of memorial and fell into deep thought.
Hu Ming.
This person is simply the most professional agent No. 1 under Zhu Di.
This man was from Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. He was neither a direct descendant of Jingnan nor a descendant of an important minister. He was in a humble position and had no backing. But because of his inconspicuousness, he was chosen by the old man to do the "secret job" of searching for the traces of Emperor Jianwen.
Work".
This is indeed a secret work that cannot be made public or disseminated.
Zhu Di could not publish a missing person notice in all provinces and counties: Nephew, I have been my uncle for a long time. There is still one thing that I can't forget before I die. I miss you very much. If you see the missing person notice and come to Beijing to see you quickly,
Ask uncle to take off your dog's head...
Emperor Jianwen has two arms? His first thought when he saw this missing person notice must be to crawl into the mountains and live in seclusion for the rest of his life!
In order to find Emperor Jianwen, Hu Hu traveled all over the country and worked tirelessly. The most important thing is that this man's dog nose is quite good. It seems that he can always smell the breath of Emperor Jianwen and find some vague shadows.
.
After Zhu Di fainted, Zhu Gaojie was put in charge of this person.
But he didn't have any expectations for Hu Hui at the beginning. He just used him as a spy who traveled among the people to hide secrets. But now Hu Hui suddenly reported that he had found traces of Emperor Jianwen in Fujian, and
The probability is as high as 70%.
Seventy percent.
With Hu Hui's character, he would definitely not cheat on such a crucial matter.
They must have found some significant evidence, otherwise the other party would not be so sure.
Zhu Gaojie thought for a long time, shook A Qi over, and warned: "Send a team of shadow attendants, leading three hundred cavalry, and quickly go to Fujian to cooperate with Hu Xi's arrest... Ahem, invite Emperor Jianwen back,
Remember, this should be done in a low-key manner."
A Qi frowned and asked: "The shadow attendants are all transferred to Fujian, what will you do?"
After Zhu Gaojie took command of the Wenhua Palace, he only had A Qi as a Shadow Attendant, which was obviously not enough. The mysterious man from the Qianqing Palace sent an additional team of Shadow Attendants to the Wenhua Palace to protect the crown prince.
Now that the storm is coming, Zhu Gaojie no longer cares about his own safety if he transfers the Shadow Attendant away?
"It's okay, it's just a small matter here at Wenhua Palace."
Zhu Gaojie shook his head, "Even if the other party takes action, they can't directly send assassins to assassinate me in the Wenhua Palace. The old man has no time. His last wish is to meet Emperor Jianwen. The uncle and nephew were sitting on the floor talking, I
I have to fulfill my father's wish. The film attendant will go to Fujian and come back as soon as possible. It won't take long."
A Qi couldn't resist the other party, so he could only shake his head and agree.
Emperor Jianwen?
Is this person really still alive?
…
"Sir, why did you bring us here?"
Xu Zheng looked at the shabby little village in front of him in confusion, "In this shabby place, not even a hair can be seen."
Hu Hui took out the yellow book tucked into his sleeve. After taking it out, he flipped through it and nodded: "Yes, it's here."
actually……
The things recorded in the yellow book have nothing to do with this small village.
Even if Emperor Jianwen registered in the pornographic book, he would not be able to actually register his true identity in the book. He would definitely make up a new identity. But Hu Hui never used any reason when looking for someone. He just played by intuition.
He feels that the other party should be here, and the other party must be here.
"Follow me in. If you see a monk with a shaved head, don't worry about anything else. Just knock the monk to the ground and take him away!"
"Why a monk?"
"Intuition, I guess he must be a monk now."
"???"
"Don't worry so much, just listen to me and be done with it!"
Xu Zheng felt that the imperial envoy in front of him might not be suffering from hysteria, but that he was crazy. However, since the other party had shown his imperial envoy badge, he could only obey his orders and handle the case.
Hu Hu led a few people, bent down and sneaked into the small village. One was the Zuo Shilang, a third-rank imperial envoy, and the other was a counselor from the fourth-rank Chief Envoy. They looked like thieves.
Xu Zheng, the counselor, has not yet realized a key issue:
Don't get close to Hu Hui.
will become unfortunate.
…
The monk was meditating on the futon. For some reason, he felt drowsy today, as if he was in chaos, with darkness all around him.
He felt inexplicably upset, so he simply stood up, held the rosary beads in his hands and pushed out the door, wanting to relax in the wilderness.
However, when he opened the door, he froze on the spot.
Outside the door, the shadow attendant stepped on Hu Hui, who was tied up with five flowers. He held a knife in one hand and put it on the other's neck, as if he was preparing to draw blood with the knife.
Hu Xi struggled and wanted to shout for help, but his mouth was sealed and he could not make a sound. He could only watch as the blade of the knife pressed against his neck.
Kill, kill, kill!
Who the hell is going to save Xiao Hu!
At this moment, the young monk walked out of the door, the shadow attendant's movements stopped abruptly, and Hu Hui also raised his head to look at the monk.
The six eyes faced each other, each confused.
Shadow Attendant: "Your Majesty, let me explain..."
Hu Bi: "Woo woo..."
Monk: "You'd better not explain."
Hu Hui's mind suddenly went blank. He looked at the monk's appearance and recalled something in his mind.
…
In the second year of Jianwen, Hu Zizhong passed the Jinshi examination with the title of second-class Jinshi. In that year, he met Emperor Jianwen for the first time during the imperial examination.
That was a young emperor.
Although it was more than ten years ago, Hu Hui still recognized the monk the first moment he saw him.
Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Yunwen.
The second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the grandson of Emperor Taizu Gao, and the son of Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao. Although he only reigned for a few years, he left a strong mark in history, which is known as the Jianwen New Deal.
However, "Jianwen New Deal" is a derogatory term.
Emperor Jianwen's political achievements had a strong retro flavor and unrealistic idealism. Some changes in official names, palace names, and family names had no practical significance and only added to the confusion.
Perhaps he was not suitable for politics in the first place. His ideas were too naive and his methods were too immature. He thought he was extremely smart, but in the end he was pushed down from the throne and fled.
Now, he has transformed into an unknown monk and wanders around the world.
…
Zhu Yunwen was a little angry: "I said that you are not allowed to kill people wantonly, why don't you let them go quickly!"
The Shadow Attendant was a little anxious: "Your Majesty, this person has already seen your appearance, so he must not let go!"
Hu Bi: "Woo woo..."
Shadow Attendant kicked Xiao Hu and angrily shouted: "Shut up, you have no right to speak here!"
Xiao Hu: "..."
I didn't say anything at all. You sealed my mouth and I just whined. Did I provoke you?
Zhu Yunwen said in shock and anger: "Why are you still beating people!"
The shadow attendant almost collapsed: "Your Majesty, this person was sent by Zhu Di. If you let him take you to Zhu Di..."
Zhu Yunwen retorted: "My uncle wants to meet my nephew, what else can he do to me?"
Shadow Attendant: "..."
With Zhu Di's character, if Hu Hui was really allowed to take Zhu Yunwen there, Emperor Yongle would not be thinking about the warmth of his uncle and nephew, but whether to put more cumin in the barbecue to make it more delicious or add more firewood to increase the heat.
While the two were arguing endlessly, the sound of hoofbeats suddenly came from the distance.
Hundreds of cavalry came across the plains and surrounded the small village.
Everyone's eyes were attracted, and Hu Hui's eyes widened: "Woo!"
My reinforcements are here!
The shadow attendant impatiently kicked Hu Hui: "Stop whining!"
Hu Xi glared at the other party: "Woo!"
Am I afraid of you?
Have you seen the reinforcements sent by my elder brother? I want to ask you if you are afraid!
