However, after discussing with several other people, Su Dongli realized that it was very unreliable to assassinate Yun Xi.
According to Yunxi's past travel practice, even when he was marching, he was guarded by 1,800 people. The closest people living in the palace must be those brought from the capital. Unless they can place their own people in the palace or go directly to the palace, Wei Zhong, otherwise it would be almost impossible to successfully assassinate him; and their intelligence network in the Ming Dynasty obviously could not do these two things.
In addition, it is not easy to transport people to the Ming Dynasty land other than the two municipal shipping companies. People in the Ming Dynasty must have a road guide when traveling. Even if merchants do not need permission to go out now, they must carry household registration certificates with them. Not to mention their subordinates Except for the semu people absorbed from the Ming Dynasty, they can't even speak Chinese well. They sound like foreigners. Even if people with oriental looks want to mix into Guangdong in large numbers, it is impossible.
They thought about it over and over and had to give up the idea of assassination. But Su Dongli was very unwilling and still planned the assassination of Yunxi in private. After the head of the Timur Khanate discovered that he was still acting in private, in order to In order to prevent his actions from being noticed by the Ming court and causing the entire intelligence network to be destroyed, he was temporarily sent to other countries. It was common for foreign merchants to suddenly leave the Shipping Department due to business, and it did not arouse anyone's suspicion.
He was sent to Champa. At this time, there were believers of Tianfang Sect, Brahmanism, and Buddhism in Champa. Among them, Brahmanism had a good relationship with Buddhism, but had a poor relationship with people from Tianfang Sect. Where both parties lived The distinction between Jing and Wei is clear.
In order to facilitate activities, Su Dongli always hid his beliefs in the Shibosi of the Ming Dynasty, but there was no need to do so in Champa; not to mention that it was really troublesome to hide his beliefs in Champa, so he disclosed his beliefs and lived in a gathering of Tianfang believers. district.
Here, he met the Ud wizard who had just been taken in by the intelligence agency of the Timur Khanate. Majapahit had been beaten up by the Ming Dynasty since the first year of Jianye and had to give up a large amount of overseas territory. Although on the surface, Majapahit He is very respectful, but all the knowledgeable people in the country are very resentful towards the Ming Dynasty. Although Ude is not a knowledgeable person, as a devout Tianfang believer, he also dislikes pagan countries like the Ming Dynasty.
However, Su Dongli did not think of using Ude's witchcraft to murder Yunxi at first, just because they both hated Daming very much, so they drank together in their free time and scolded Daming. Once they drank too much, Wu De mentioned that one of his apprentices was making a living in Guangzhou Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty. He mixed medicine for a very powerful local man in Guangzhou and killed many people of the Ming Dynasty. He felt very happy.
Su Dongli felt that he had vaguely thought of something at that time, and asked: "I used to be in Guangdong in the Ming Dynasty. Which family did your apprentice mix medicine for in Guangzhou? Maybe I know."
"It's someone with the surname Ming Guo, something high-ranking. I heard that someone in their family was the deputy of a department in the court of the Ming Dynasty, with a high position of authority." Ude said.
Su Dongli immediately realized: Isn't this the family of Gao Shunchen, who is the minister of the Ministry of Justice? Because Gao Shunchen was born, their family is now the first family in Guangzhou except for the hereditary generals of the Guard, and it is very powerful.
Su Dongli was so dizzy at the time that he didn't think much of anything. When he came back and sobered up, he thought: he could use witchcraft, the so-called witchcraft of the Ming Dynasty, to deal with Yunxi, or even kill him.
Su Dongli immediately found Ude and told him his thoughts; Ude was a little hesitant at first. After all, although he hated the Ming Dynasty, in his opinion, the Ming Dynasty was like a dragon's pool and a tiger's den that could not be easily accessed. His own life was very important and he could not easily get there.
Buried.
But he couldn't resist Su Dongli's persuasion, and since his apprentice who pretended to be a Taoist had indeed had no problems in the Ming Dynasty, he agreed.
Su Dongli immediately returned to Bao'an Shipping Department with Ude and told the head of the intelligence agency his idea. After repeated thinking, the person agreed to give it a try.
"..., Your Majesty, after that, Ude sneaked into Guangzhou City, and Su Dongli requested to be naturalized in the Ming Dynasty. The next thing was that they gathered people to collect and cut the raw materials, and used the 'objects' collected and cut to set up formations in an attempt to murder Your Majesty.
, destroying the destiny of Ming Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, do you still remember that when you went to inspect the Zhenhai Tower, you saw a flash of light while there was no big ship on the river? That was actually Su Dongli sitting in a small fishing boat with a clairvoyant to see if the Zhenhai Tower was easily destroyed. The clairvoyant glass
The lenses reflect the bright light of the sun. After discovering that his clairvoyance reflected sunlight, he immediately stopped his clairvoyance, so His Majesty never saw bright light again."
"A few days ago, when Concubine Hui was possessed by an evil spirit, Mingliang, the Taoist priest who came to the palace twice, was disguised as Ude. At that time, Ude cast spells on both His Majesty and Concubine Hui at the same time, but His Majesty did not
Concubine Hui was so troubled that she fell into a coma due to evil spirits. In order to use his last resort to murder His Majesty, Wu De took the risk to meet His Majesty with a little monkey in his arms, so that the little monkey could remember His Majesty's scent so that it could be with him at night.
He entered the palace with the help of his nose and attempted to murder His Majesty."
"Not only were the marks on the glass window left by the monkey, but the serum next to the window was also smeared by the monkey."
"Whether your Majesty asked you or not, you all said this: Although the Ude wizard has no conscience, he cherishes his own life very much. If he releases the monkey when he meets your majesty, there is a 50% chance that it will kill his majesty, but no matter what
There was no way he could survive, so he just took the little monkey into the palace to remember His Majesty's scent, instead of trying to murder His Majesty."
"They did not bribe the people His Majesty brought from the capital. They just used the Gao family to bribe a few servants working in the outer courtyard of the palace. They asked them to report to them if they felt anything was wrong in the palace or if His Majesty did not show up for a few days."
"..."
Qian Minglin had practiced this when he was preparing to report to Yunxi in person.
"There are actually those Yaxing involved in this? They helped the people of Timur Khanate send Ude and others into the city, and also helped Ude cast spells on Yang Buzheng and others." Yunxi's side
Chen Ji, a member of Zhongshushe, said in surprise: "Are these people deceived? Why would they do such a thing?"
Hu Yan, another member of Zhongshushe, knew why this happened. "Brother Chen, these Yaxings are living in poverty due to His Majesty's many decrees. They are quite dissatisfied with the imperial court and want to make a quarrel. However, Chief Ambassador Yang
Just ignore them. Then they want to make Chief Yang and others sick so that no one will carry out His Majesty's reforms and their livelihoods can be maintained for the time being."
"If my prediction is correct, after His Majesty came to Guangzhou and announced the suspension of other reforms, these Yaxings actually had the intention of retreating, but how could Ude and other people from the Timur Khanate allow them to retreat? They can only do the same as Gao Jingde
The road ends in darkness."
While they were talking, Wang Xi walked in and announced: "Your Majesty, Wudang sent Master Zhang to ask for an audience."
"Xuanzhao Zhenren has come to see you." Yunxi had said this, and immediately ordered Hu Yan: "You should draw up an edict now and send an order to the Bao'an City Shipping Department, the Shanghai Shipping Department, and Guangzhou Fucheng according to the people Su Dongli told us.
Search for these people within the territory; and arrest all those who may be sent by the Timur Khanate and those who defect to the Timur Khanate."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Hu Yan agreed and began to draft the decree.
While he was talking, Zhang Sanfeng had already walked in. After Yunxi finished answering his greetings, he asked: "Master Zhang, I have generally understood the truth of the whole matter through Qian Minglin's report, but there are a few things I still don't understand."
"First, I have heard that monkeys are similar to humans. If they can smell me when they are close to me, that's fine. But from outside the palace, they can smell my smell and find where I am? I don't quite believe it."
"Secondly, even if the monkey can find it, the monkey's fingers are not iron, so how can it make a 'prick' or 'prick' sound on the glass?"
"Third, why did Ude perform witchcraft on Concubine Hui?"
The rest of Yunxi's doubts were already clear with this report, but only these three doubts remained unsolved, so he asked Zhang Sanfeng.
"Your Majesty, very small monkeys are different from big monkeys. Instead, they are similar to cats and dogs. Their noses are very sharp. As long as they know the smell of a person, they can follow the smell to find that person."
"Secondly, the wizard Nawud made a very small ring of fine steel for the little monkey he brought with him, put it on the monkey's middle finger, and asked him to kill people with it. Your Majesty, this monkey of Ud is not a fool.
Pindao didn't know what kind of monkey he had expected before, and where he was born. He had only seen it once, and it was said to be a small monkey from somewhere in the West (Indian Ocean). Pindao heard that person say at that time,
When this kind of monkey feeds in the forest, it will use its middle finger to tap the bark of the tree to determine whether there are holes, and then dig out the bugs inside. The local wizards use this to train this monkey to kill people. Most of the Ude wizards do the same.
I want to murder Your Majesty like this. The ring the monkey wears is quenched with poison, making it very easy to kill."
"Thirdly, the Wu De wizard used sorcery to deal with Concubine Hui. He actually wanted to instruct Concubine Hui to murder Your Majesty. But although Concubine Hui was very light-hearted, she did not want to murder Your Majesty, so she fell into a coma." Zhang Sanfeng explained.
road.
"That's it, that's it. I said that the situation when Concubine Hui was unconscious was different from mine. I was also surprised that Ude used two kinds of spells to make people unconscious. It turned out that the spell used on Concubine Hui was another kind of spell.
"Yunxi said.
At this point, all Yunxi's doubts have been solved and he bowed his head in silence.
Everyone thought that Yunxi was thinking about how to deal with these people, so they sat quietly by the bed and waited for his instructions; but after a while, they heard Yunxi say: "It seems that Timur will definitely be like that back then.
The Mongols, even the Jin people, and the Liao people invaded the Central Plains."
