Although he was immersed in joy, Wang Xian did not dare to forget about business. After having a delicious breakfast with his wife and asking her to rest in peace, Wang Xian went to the palace to deliver the mission with the memorial he wrote in the hotel last night.
Today is the 20th day of the first lunar month, the last day of the Lantern Festival holiday. There is no Chang Dynasty, and the emperor is not in the Forbidden City, but fasting in Beiyuan. Wang Xian asked outside the Meridian Gate and rode to Beiyuan. Along the
Following the long imperial city roots to the north, passing the old monk's Qingshou Temple, he saw a closed white jade door hidden in the bamboo forest in the morning light. Wang Xiancai suddenly realized that he had arrived outside Tianxiang Temple, thinking that the greenery inside
He just got angry. This damn girl hid in there and never showed up again. He really should have rushed in, caught her out, and given her a good spanking. It was a pity that the girl inside should only exist in the sky, how could a mortal dare?
After kissing Fangze's Xu Miaojin, he was helplessly discouraged...
Afraid of attracting the attention of interested people, Wang Xian did not dare to stay here for too long, so he rode away angrily. Unconsciously, he passed a colorful square with several large yellow gauze palace lanterns hanging, and heard that there was a colorful square.
The Ouchi guard who came down shouted loudly: "In front of you is the holy cavalry stationed in the forbidden area. Except for those who are given horseback riding in the palace, they will all enter on foot."
Wang Xian and all the guards quickly dismounted, walked to the palace gate, handed the memorial to the eunuch on duty, and waited at the palace gate. However, they felt that the leader of the guards was always looking at him, and then they realized that he was an acquaintance, Wang Xian.
He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Master Jiu, long time no see?"
It turned out to be Zhu Jiuye, the Jinyiwei Qianhu who had a dispute in Zhejiang. The Jinyiwei Zhang directly drove the guards to patrol and arrest. Zhu Jiu was responsible for the first one, so Xu Yingxian said that Zhu Jiuhe was the 'gatekeeper'.
Wang Xian didn't have much hatred, but when he saw him at this moment, he was still quite embarrassed. His old face turned red, he groaned and clasped his fists and said: "I am on duty as an official, so I cannot be polite. Please forgive me, Master Zhenfu." Back then, Master Zhu Jiu was here.
When he was an imperial envoy in Zhejiang, Wang Xian was just a lowly official. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Zhu Jiuye was still the same guard with thousands of households. The lowly official back then suddenly turned into his boss... This feeling is bitter and difficult.
Word.
Wang Xian, however, was not arrogant at all and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, Mr. Jiu? You are a highly respected official who contributed to the Jingnan War. I should salute you at all times."
Zhu Jiuye was most worried about the embarrassing scene of being bullied. He immediately made up his mind and said with a forced smile: "You can't mess up your dignity."
"Where are you? I'll treat Master Jiu to a drink after I'm on duty." Wang Xian warmly held his arms with him and said, "I'm rushing into the palace to deliver my order. I'll go back and wait for me on duty for a while."
"Yes." Everyone wants to save face. Wang Xian gave Zhu Jiu enough face, so of course he would not refuse to agree.
The two chatted for a while, then saw the eunuch coming out and said to Wang Xian: "The emperor has summoned me."
"My lord, please." Zhu Jiuye said sideways.
"See you later." Wang Xian nodded, straightened his collar and entered Beiyuan solemnly. Beiyuan is a royal garden, which naturally has a unique scenery. Passing through the corridor with scattered flowers and trees, you will reach the graceful Xuanwu Lake, but you can see the lakeside pavilion.
The terrace is unique, with twists and turns of verandahs. After walking along the veranda by the lake for a long time, I saw a five-coupled high house with yellow tiles covering the roof. The imperial hall came into view, covered with pines and bamboos, facing the lake in the wind.
What a quiet and elegant way to go
I saw more than a hundred imperial guards, standing guard outside the palace every three steps and five steps. They were all motionless and silent. Wang Xian had experienced the majesty of the emperor and would no longer be shocked by the sight. He followed the eunuch.
After entering, I saw the three powerful characters "Yitian Palace" written on the vertical plaque with blue background and gold characters. Wang Xian had a good eye and saw the five small characters "Chen Jie Jin Jin" in the lower right corner. He couldn't help but be surprised.
The emperor has not changed his inscription yet, and it seems that an old love is still there.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," came to the entrance of the palace. Wang Xian quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Come in" for a long time before hearing Zhu Di's instructions from inside, but his tone was unkind. Wang Xian hurriedly got up and entered the palace. Just as he was about to salute, he heard the emperor say in a deep voice: "No, Wang Qing's family came just in time, you let this person
You guys, please take a good look."
Wang Xianxin asked me what I was looking for. I didn’t have any flowers on my face. When I looked up, I realized that I was an acquaintance again... I saw two Mongolian nobles wearing gold brocade hats, uniforms and leather boots standing there.
, was looking at him dumbfounded.
It was Grand Master Wala's younger brother Taiping who was having an affair with his son. Even though Wang Xian was thick-skinned, he immediately wanted to find a hole in the ground to burrow into. He had also vaguely heard that the Wala tribe sent envoys to the capital to surrender, so he knew that they would see through his trick.
. But I didn’t expect to meet him here.
"Wang, Wang Qing's family?" Tuohuan said with wide eyes, "Aren't you the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Yeah, why did they become Wang Qing's family again?" Taiping was also dumbfounded. They came to the Ming Dynasty to seek peace, and their biggest reliance was to return the favor of the grandson. They also married the Mongolian princess to the grandson. How could this happen?
It can be considered a marriage. Therefore, without the consciousness of a loser, he made many unreasonable demands, which almost made the emperor furious. Even if Wang Xian didn't come, Zhu Di would send him over, leaving the two of them blindly recognizing each other.
Once they find out, who are they capturing?
In the Yitian Hall, Wang Xian cupped his fists towards the two Mongolian Taijis and said with a smile: "The two Taijis are well and well. I am the Jinyi Guard of the Ming Dynasty, and I am not Your Highness Taisun."
"You?" Tuohuan immediately felt that he had been betrayed, and that he had worshiped him so much in vain, "Are you really not His Highness the Grandson?"
"There is no joke before you." Wang Xian shook his head and said with a smile: "At that time in Jiulongkou, you recognized the wrong person. I was just an officer in front of Taisun. The real His Highness Taisun has escaped from his shell long ago and is safe and sound."
"Then you kept pretending to be the grandson," Taiping already understood that all of them were treated like monkeys by this kid. At that moment, anger arose in his heart, and he grew evil and wanted to drag Wang Xian into the water:
"You married our princess in the name of your great grandson?" He saluted Zhu Di and said, "May I ask, Your Majesty the Ming Emperor, how to settle this account?"
"At that time, the two armies were hostile. It is said that soldiers never tire of deceit. The worse Wang Qing's family deceives you, the happier I will be." Zhu Di burst out laughing: "As for the farewell girl, I have made her a princess and given her rich water and grass."
Land. If she is willing to marry Wang Xian, she can cancel her princess title and live her small life in the capital. If she is not willing, she can be her Princess of the Ming Dynasty in Hetao." After that, she looked at Wang Xian and smiled narrowly: "Of course.
If she has the ability, I would have no objection to recruiting my beloved as her wife."
The emperor's words made all the ministers present laugh. The two Wala nobles looked pale and lost all their arrogance. The emperor also lost his temper when he saw this. As the emperor of hundreds of millions of people, Zhu Di naturally would not act on his own initiative. He also needed to
The Oara people came to check and balance the Tatars, so it was enough to beat them up. Finally, the emperor accepted the Oara people's apology, allowed them to continue to pay tribute as before, and let them retreat.
The accompanying officials from the Ministry of Rites also resigned, leaving only Wang Xian alone in the palace. Wang Xian hurriedly knelt down and apologized: "I am a young man, and I ask the emperor to punish me."
"I didn't know that you were doing something like this in Wala." Zhu Di turned his face and sneered: "It's just a matter of pretending to be the grandson. You also pretended to be an imperial envoy and married a Mongolian princess."
He couldn't help but laugh out loud and said: "It's really... ridiculous and extremely bold."
Wang Xian glanced at the emperor secretly, and he didn't seem to be too angry. Then he thought about it, even if the emperor was angry, he would not punish himself for this reason. After all, he fell into trouble in order to save his grandson. Feng Lao said honestly:
"At that time, the Wala people regarded me as their grandson and pressed forward step by step. I had no choice but to resort to tricks. As for the mission, it was pretended by a few of my subordinates. If Mahamuji is willing to believe me, what can I do? Also,
Baoyinqiqige was the condition for them to let me go back to the country. I felt that this matter was embarrassing to the Mongols, so I let them go.
"If it weren't for the fact that you suffered for the great grandson," Zhu Di snorted, "I would have cut off your dog's head long ago." He warned him in a deep voice, "If you dare to act like this again in the future, I will kill you."
I will never spare you again.”
Wang Xian naturally thanked him profusely, and Zhu Di then asked: "I gave you three days to solve the case of the fire in front of the Meridian Gate. Today is the third day, but there is a result."
"Yes." Wang Xian hurriedly presented the memorial with both hands. Huang, the eunuch in charge of Yitian Palace, hurriedly stepped forward to take it and presented it to the emperor with a bow.
Zhu Di took it and planned to take a quick look at it, because it was just a small test, even for Wang Xian, the new Beizhen Fusi, to establish his authority. But when he saw half of it, his face sank, because
According to the confessions of the two criminals, this was actually an assassination against the emperor. It was only because of God's blessing that the assassination failed and turned into a fire... And the criminal's motive was actually to investigate the Lu Jieyu case to no avail.
Later, he took revenge on the emperor
Zhu Di's face turned livid, his eyes dimmed, and after being silent for a long time, Fang slowly asked: "The evidence in Lu Jieyu's case is conclusive and beyond doubt."
"Yes." Wang Xian hurriedly responded. He was not surprised that the emperor would say this, because Lu Jieyu had been burned to death by a cannon. The emperor could only uphold the original verdict. Only then could torture have some legitimacy. If it were overturned
In the original verdict, the emperor became a fool who killed innocent people indiscriminately. This was unacceptable to an emperor like Zhu Di who was obsessed with face.
"As for the two criminals, although Jin Yingze was deceived and had no intention of doing evil and had brotherly feelings, after all, he killed so many people, so he should be sentenced to hanging..." Zhu Di said slowly: "As for the Lu family member
, The crime really deserves death. I should have copied his nine clans, but because his sister has served me for so many years, I will be beheaded."
"Yes." Wang Xian was not surprised by the emperor's kindness, because not long ago, Zhu Di had just pardoned Liu Zijin and all the White Lotus believers below Yu Gui. I don't know if it was because tigers are old and don't bite people, or because Lu Jieyu was tortured.
Later he regretted it. In short, Emperor Yongle during this period did show kindness that was not self-indulgent.
