.South of Jinling City, Changqianli, Dabaoen Temple.
This building is very large, and it was built entirely in accordance with the standards of the imperial palace. It is not inferior to the imperial palace in terms of building scale, construction materials and design. Of course, even though the project is so huge, it will not take more than nineteen years. Historically,
This large-scale temple took nineteen years to finally be completed. On the one hand, the project was huge, and on the other hand, it was also because not too many laborers were mobilized at once. After all, the construction of the Great Baoen Temple is not something that needs to be completed in a hurry.
, allocating too many workers at once and taking up too much labor will harm the vitality of the country.
At this moment, the main building complex of the Great Baoen Temple has grown to a large scale. The main hall and the back hall have been completed. It is late at night, and the construction site that was noisy during the day has quieted down. There are scattered everywhere on the construction site, which will be continued in the morning.
A variety of semi-finished stones and wood were used, and apart from the night watchmen, there were no other visible human traces on the construction site.
The workers live in the large courtyard outside Baoen Temple. In the future, temples and pavilions will be built here. Since the building is expanded from the inside out, the buildings on the central axis are built first and then expanded to both sides, so this place is temporarily
There is still a piece of flat land, with large stilts erected. The workers who have worked hard all day have gone to bed. Even though there are so many people living there, it is still quiet.
A dark shadow quietly sneaked into the Great Baoen Temple. He didn't seem to be very familiar with this place. He stopped and walked, looked around, and occasionally avoided the night watch workers.
This person was Chen Yunan. Zhu Tu's idea was to create more trouble for Yang Xu, prompting the waiting officials to intervene as soon as possible and put Yang Xu to death. Yang Xu's case was too sensitive, but a prince of the country was involved with him.
The White Lotus Sect has connections. The nature of this case means that no one is willing to get involved casually. The case has been handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for formal processing. During this period, even the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi had to stay out of the matter.
Chen Ying is not his person. In any case, he can't ask Chen Ying to ask him to be accommodating. And if Yang Xu really can't be saved, he must distance himself as soon as possible and never let himself be implicated. This is the case for all officials of the entire prince faction.
The unanimous opinion is that this is a huge power group, and it is impossible to ruin the interests of the entire group because of any one person. When necessary, it is an inevitable choice for a strong man to intervene.
The second prince's group, who regarded Yang Xuru as a thorn in his side, did not take the opportunity to do anything. Chen Ying was a veteran in officialdom and had very good political skills. Not only did he clearly position his stance on the case, but he also warned the second prince in advance not to come forward.
Or use his men to take advantage of the opportunity to attack.
As a lonely minister, the only thing he needed to figure out was the emperor's temperament. He knew very well that Zhu Di's temperament was that of a donkey. If you want to push others away and criticize him, it may have the opposite effect. Moreover, the second prince has just
Being left in the capital, he had already declared that he wanted to be a leisurely prince, but the words were still ringing in his ears, and he immediately went into battle shirtless. What would happen to the emperor?
And if the emperor is worried about the recurrence of the story of two sons fighting for the heir, he may resort to conciliatory means to minimize the case. Isn’t that self-defeating? Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu is trying his best to play his new role, and enters the palace from time to time to express his gratitude to his father.
The Queen Mother said hello, and then returned home in a polite manner, trying to repair the relationship with her father and Queen Mother, so the Second Prince's faction also remained silent.
But this unusual calm was going to be broken because of Chen Yunan's actions tonight.
Chen Yunan and Zhu Tu were both warriors. They had read some books and knew some words, but they still had no knowledge. Their simple and rough habits made it difficult for them to think as far-reaching and comprehensively as these court officials.
.Zhu Tu saw through Ji Gang's intentions and knew the reasons why civil and military officials remained silent, but he could not figure out a more complicated reason, so he wanted to break this calm.
The main person in charge of the Dabaoen Temple project was Yang Xu, the Fuguo Gong. The initiative to recruit a large number of disaster-stricken people from eastern Zhejiang to replace laborers from various places came from Yang Xu. Zhu Tu wanted to use this incident to cause a fire in the Dabaoen Temple. In
Zhu Tu thought that the Great Baoen Temple was built by the emperor to show his filial piety to the late emperor. If a fire was caused in a place where the victims of the disaster in eastern Zhejiang were responsible, Yang Xu would be involved.
At this time, there is no need for the emperor to put aside the White Lotus Sect case and ask what crime Yang Xu is guilty of. As long as he lowers Yang Xu's standard treatment out of dissatisfaction and transfers him from Xianglin Temple to prison. From the emperor's point of view, maybe it is just for him.
The fire at Da Baoen Temple is a kind of punishment, but to all officials, it is an absolute signal!
This is Zhu Tu's idea. He didn't discuss it with anyone, and he had no one to discuss it with. Each of the eight Vajras had their own agendas. Those good brothers had long wanted to push him down and ascend to the top of the Eight Vajras themselves. Now
Ji Gang also intended to use him as a pawn. He was trying to save himself and had no choice but to make this move. How could he ask Ji Gang for instructions?
The trapped beast is still fighting. Of course, Zhu Tu is not willing to just sit back and die. As long as there is still a chance, he will have to struggle.
Chen Yunan's knowledge and strategy were not as good as those of Zhu Tu. When he heard what he said, he thought it was a clever plan and immediately agreed to it. He was just here to set a fire. Although he had some understanding in advance, but when he was there in person, it was...
At night, it still took Chen Yunan a lot of effort to find the area where the victims of the disaster in eastern Zhejiang were located.
The shanty towns of East Zhejiang victims are on the south side of the main building complex of Dabaoen Temple. Behind them is a wall. This temple wall is the wall that isolates the buildings in the temple. It is not very high, but it is still broad and thick. It has not yet been completed. The eaves of the wall
The glazed tiles on the wall have not been put on yet, nor have they been painted. It is just a mostly completed wall. On the inside and outside of the wall, there are some scraps left over from the construction. It is not much, because it needs to be cleaned and shipped out regularly. In addition, there are
Building materials such as rock and timber.
Because it is strictly forbidden to light fires at night, the workers' shanty town is very dark. There are no stars but no moon today. Even though Chen Yunan has very good eyesight, he still stumbles when walking. He finally found the place and quietly hid under the wall. After a while
, a fire broke out inside the wall. As soon as the fire started, Chen Yunan flew away and left the scene.
In order to prevent the workers who got up at night from discovering the fire and extinguishing it in time, Chen Yunan climbed over the wall and lit it from the inside. There was not much shavings and wood foam on the ground that could catch fire, so he took a bag of oil with him and poured it on the ground.
The fire ignited on the corner wood first ignited on the inner wall, and the oil helped the fire. After attracting piles of purlins and rattan, the fire started burning fiercely. The flames soared into the sky and ignited another hall.
The cornices of the pavilion, the whole construction site was in chaos, people exclaimed: "Water is leaking!" The voices of "fire fighting" came and went...
※The newest
The Great Baoen Temple is on fire!
It is said that a pile of wood and half of the temple were burned.
It is said that the place where the fire broke out was the residence of migrant workers recruited from eastern Zhejiang.
The emperor initially did not agree to use migrant workers from eastern Zhejiang because they were ordinary farmers and did not understand construction. They could assist the Duke Yang Xu... you understand!
There were a lot of rumors in Beijing, and the more they spread, the worse they became. At first, the officials kept their composure. The rumors were only spread among the common people, officials, and petty officials. They had rich imaginations and understanding of the dignitaries.
, either too simple or too complex. Because of the huge disparity in status between them, it is difficult for them to treat those dignitaries as normal people of flesh and blood, so they speculate and imagine the results as they want.
The undercurrent in the lower levels was turbulent, stirring their upper levels layer by layer, all the way to the highest level. The "surface of the ocean" was originally calm, but due to this fire, the storm suddenly arose. To Zhu Tu and Chen Yunan's expectation, they were the first to jump out
It turned out that the people who were there were not those who wished for Yang Xu's death, but those who stood by Yang Xu's side.
Bachelor Xie Jin was the first to jump out. He didn't believe that the fire was just an accident. He didn't believe that it was just migrant workers recruited from eastern Zhejiang who didn't pay attention to precautions and lost the fire. He thought that this was someone deliberately causing trouble in an attempt to incriminate others.
At the critical moment of the trial of the White Lotus Sect case, Yu Fu Guogong Yang Xu, someone pulled out such a trick. Is he feeling guilty? Is he afraid that the existing evidence will not defeat Yang Xu? Can this prove that,
Is the case of the White Lotus Sect currently being investigated also a ploy to attack political opponents?
No one knew that the arson case at Baoen Temple was just a trick played by two pawns crossing the river to protect themselves. The big shots at the top didn't know either, so they just made blind suspicions like the people at the bottom.
Who is the mastermind behind this? What is the purpose of this move? Unlike the common people, the common people can only continue to spread rumors and satisfy their curiosity, but they can make full use of this matter.
The princely faction officials, who had always been powerless, decisively seized this opportunity and jumped out with a very fair and objective stance. Naturally, Yang Xu's political opponents were not to be outdone. They were also suspicious of who was behind the scenes. Jie Jin jumped.
When they came out, they immediately found their target: this was a thief shouting to catch a thief, trying to change the target and reverse the case for Yang Xu!
As a result, people from the Second Prince's faction jumped out to fight back, saying that this was Yang Xu's gang members who committed suicide to save themselves. This proved that Yang Xu was guilty and cowardly, and he took the risk.
In the Golden Palace, Emperor Yongle's face was as dark as water, and he said nothing, allowing the two groups of civil servants to criticize each other and quarrel endlessly. When the dynasty was over, Zhu Di returned to the Jinshen Palace, where the eunuch Gouer beside him was already waiting.
Around Zhu Di, there were several highly trusted and capable eunuchs, such as Zheng He and Yi Shiha, and this dog was no exception.
He followed Zhu Di in a bloody battle and was loyal.
"emperor!"
As soon as he saw Zhu Di, the dog immediately bowed down humbly. Zhu Di walked past him in a gust of wind, sat down on the imperial chair, and asked coldly: "How is it?"
The dog turned around, still hunched over his waist, and replied in a low voice: "I have looked carefully. The fire started from the inside of the temple wall. Therefore... it is more likely that someone deliberately set the fire..."
Zhu Di sneered: "It's not possible, but it's certain!"
The dog bowed and said nothing. He was only responsible for stating the facts. This was not his right to make an accurate judgment.
Zhu Di thought for a while and suddenly smiled again. He glanced at Gou'er and asked: "Gou'er, do you think this fire... was set by people who wanted Yang Xu dead, or by people who wanted Yang Xu alive?
of?"
The dog said respectfully: "Go back to the emperor, I don't know!"
Zhu Di murmured: "What a scheming plan. No matter what my reaction is, it can be used by someone who is interested..."
He raised his eyebrows and commanded the dog in a deep voice: "Inform the Metropolitan Procuratorate that in the case of the White Lotus Sect, all the witnesses have been arrested, and the results must be obtained today!"
Zhu Di stood up, slapped the table, and sneered: "As the emperor, how can I be at the mercy of you as you wish!"
