Chapter 33: Please fall into the trap (5)

No one asked Zhu Zhi to get up and have a meal. The person who woke him up was the guards he had been bringing from Liaodong. The guard whispered: "There is someone outside who took out the token of the Jinyiwei, and he said that he must see the imperial envoy."

Zhu Zhi said in a daze: "Where is Master Jie? Just ask him to deal with it."

The guard looked embarrassed: "Your Highness, Lord Xie is in a hurry to go out if you have something to do, so..." The Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei, was the Jinyiwei again. Zhu Zhi knew that this yamen was not a good man, so he had no choice but to wear clothes.

A simple-dressed man sat in the side hall, wearing a cloth clothes, was washed neatly. He was white and fat, and his appearance was very ordinary. No matter how he looked at Zhu Zhi, it was a world apart from his cool image of wearing a windbreaker and sunglasses.

Seeing Zhu Zhi wearing a prince's casual clothes walking into the door, the fat white man quickly stood up and knelt down and said, "Subordinate, Dong Bin, a hundred households of the Jinyiwei, meet His Highness, the King of Liao, thousands of years old."

Zhu Zhi lifted his robe, sat on Huanghuali's chair, and said, "Dong Baihu, get up." But he thought to himself, be good, what a great Jinyiwei, a small Baihu dared to directly ask for the imperial envoy.

Zhu Zhi suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and smiled and ordered his servants to send tea.

Dong Bin sat down and said, "I'm very sorry for disturbing Your Highness in his busy schedule. I just had to submit some secret comments to the imperial envoy."

Zhu Zhi suddenly became alert and secretly played? Could it be? Zhu Zhi said: "What secretly played?"

Dong Bin said: "When you go back to Your Highness, since you wrote a copy to say that King Xiang was illegal, the Jinyiwei ordered the collection of facts and evidence from relevant parties. These are the relevant materials collected by the Beishi in recent years. Please check it out.

"As he said that, he took out three memorial books from his clothes and handed them to Zhu Zhi.

Zhu Zhi asked before reading these memorials: "You mean, isn't your Jinyiwei the first person to write to King Xiang to do anything illegal?"

Dong Bin said: "It's not the Jinyiwei, but an experience in the Xiangwang Mansion."

Zhu Zhi nodded and turned his gaze thoughtfully to the memorial book. The first book was that King Xiang built a Jingyuan Pavilion on the edge of the east mountain of the city since the previous year, and recruited scholars who had no scholars on the ground of Huguang to study in the pavilion.

Occasionally, book review meetings will be held to exchange reading experiences. This kind of book review will become a place to criticize current problems and talk about national affairs.

For example, "In May of the 30th year of Hongwu, the King of Xiang and others judged the salt administration of the Song Dynasty. When they talked about our dynasty, everyone criticized the salt administration of our dynasty as a bad government, and the officials were expensive to obtain salt. It was difficult for the people to use it."

Zhu Zhi understood that Huguang neither produces sea salt nor well salt. All salt needs to be transported from Yunnan, Guizhou or Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the checkpoints along the way are exploited layer by layer.

Although the government stipulated the surplus price, for profit, salt merchants could only increase the price. On the other hand, if the government prohibited salt merchants from surplus price, the salt merchants would immediately give up selling salt in Huguang. This has caused high salt prices in areas such as Huguang and Sichuan that do not produce salt.

It is difficult for the people to eat salt. As a local gentry in Huguang, they naturally only saw the salt administration exploitation of Huguang.

For example, "In March of the 31st year of Hongwu, King Xiang and everyone judged the administration of our dynasty. Chen Mo said that the deterioration of the administration of the government was not afraid of torture, but because of the lack of wealth. King Xiang promised it."

Zhu Zhi was surprised that this scholar named Chen Mo could see the problem of low salary in the Ming Dynasty's official system. It was just that the administration of the Ming Dynasty was a comprehensive problem and could not be solved unilaterally. There was no shortage of salary for officials in the Song Dynasty.

But how about it? I still keep greedy for the land.

Zhu Zhi read the report on Jingyuan Pavilion's discussion from beginning to end. Although there were many extreme words, he never had any serious rebellious conversations.

This Jingyuan Pavilion is one of the evidence that Zhu Bo is ill-behaved. Zhu Zhi seems to be a group of scholars talking about nothing. Do those who want to rebel will discuss major events in such places? It is pure nonsense. If they have ill-behaved intentions like this, they will not be able to survive.

But what surprised Zhu Zhi was that the Jinyiwei actually recorded all the remarks of the Jingyuan Pavilion until now, such a powerful spy organization.

Zhu Zhi gradually felt cold sweat on his back, and he desperately recalled whether there were any rebellious words in Liaodong that would make him hold on to the handle.

The next book tells some of Zhu Bai's words and deeds in the army. Zhu Zhi took a rough look. Good guy, this twelfth brother is also a versatile person with civil and military talents. The report says that the King of Hunan is very good at talking about war. He is very capable. He is good at bowing, arrows, swords and spears, and he is like flying horses.

He often led his three guards into the mountains to suppress bandits. There were many barbarians in Huguang area. What about Guzhou barbarians and Yuezhou barbarians. In addition, there were many bandits in the places where the mountains were high and the emperor was far away. The King of Xiang would occasionally take his own guards to suppress them.

This was originally one of the vassal kings' responsibilities. The problem is that King Xiang often gave the titles of powerful generals and brave generals to those who were motivated and brave in his subordinates.

Abuse of changing the military system is an important evidence of rebellion, but these three guards have been moved to Wuchang last year, and many generals and officials have been replaced. If they hold on to this little braid, it is obviously a crime.

It seems that the King of Xiang is more ambitious, but his personality is a bit simple, and he often commits things that give people some help.

Zhu Zhi sighed lightly, and he already understood a little in his heart. King Xiang was only suspicious because he was both civil and military, not far from the capital. It seems that he would never be able to be a promising prince. Zhu Zhi felt quite angry about King Xiang.

The last memorial is about Zhu Bo’s daily interactions with others.

Zhu Zhi frowned more and more when he saw this memoir. Why did Zhu Bai like to do these things? The report said that Zhu Bai was very good at Taoist sayings and called himself Zixuzi. He often made friends with Taoist priests who traveled all over the world.

Among these Taoist priests, there are many people who crow and thieves, but there are also real people, such as Taoist priests in Wudang Mountain and real people in Longhu Mountain. These martial arts people gather together. Although there is no conclusive evidence, the melon field and plum trees are easily reminded of the practice of raising dead men.

The most deadly thing was a Taoist priest named Jingxuanzi who helped Zhu Bai disassemble the character "Zhu Bai" and said that Zhu Bai is the King of Xiang, and the character "Bai" is Mu Bai. Adding the character "Zhu Bai" means "Muhuang" and saying that Zhu Bai will become the emperor when he meets Mu.

For such a shameless Taoist priest, Zhu Bai did something that lacked political wisdom and only drove the man away.

Zhu Zhi remembered that his descendants had a Qing palace drama, and an ambitious prince was urged by a gangster to be "Eight Kings". He was tied up and sent to the palace and was punished by the emperor.

This will be great. He has urged Zhu Bo to rebel, but he just drove him away. Isn’t this a complete handle being caught?

Finally finished reading the three memoirs, Zhu Zhi looked up at Dong Bin and said, "What are the secret memoirs said in the truth?"

Dong Bin said: "Everything is true. These news have been obtained by humble officials in the five years through the arrangement of the royal palace. There is an order on it to send these to the imperial envoy for reference."

Zhu Zhi nodded and said, "Dong Baihu worked hard and made great contributions. It is really not easy to collect so much information over the years."

Dong Bin was praised by the imperial envoy and was immediately a little happy and said, "Your Highness is too much, but his subordinates are just completing the tasks assigned by the top peak.

But it was not because of his subordinates who boasted about what His Highness Xiang King did, his subordinates would never know more than the next day..." Just as he was so excited, he suddenly saw Zhu Zhi's face was a little gloomy, and then he suddenly remembered that Zhu Zhi was also a vassal king.

Dong Bin was so scared that his face looked like earth, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

Zhu Zhi sneered and said, "Hmph, do you have your colleagues around me? Which concubine I am happy with, your colleagues can know clearly without exceeding the next day."

Dong Bin knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, "I deserve to die, I really don't have this intention. Please forgive me." As he said that, he kowtowed one by one.

He secretly scolded himself for saying this too much. He thought that such detailed information was provided to the imperial envoy to make decisions, and he would definitely have credit. As long as Zhu Zhi went back and praised the commander of the Jinyiwei, he might be able to leave this place and return to Beijing for promotion.

Alas, everything will be ruined.

Seeing that he was so scared that he was silent, Zhu Zhi knew in his heart that these were just eyeliners. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen were assigned the task, otherwise he would not dare to monitor the prince if he gave him a water tank as a courage.

The disgust in his heart suddenly decreased a little, and he barely said to him: "Get up, I forgive you for not guilty. Actually, these things are not your fault. They are all orders from the top, and you are just following them.

The situation you provided is very good. When I return to the capital in the future, I will definitely mention your contribution to you Commander Lu. Don’t let others know about these things, okay, you go down." Dong Bin felt relieved and ran out quickly.

Zhu Zhi held these three items and was thinking about what to do. Now the initiative is all in the hands of the imperial envoy. With these evidences, it is not impossible to charge the King of Xiang with a crime of indiscriminate crime; but in Zhu Zhi's mind, it is very unfair to convict this brother indiscriminately.

Zhu Zhi remembered again when Yang Rong told him that when he was about to come, he should leave the matter and not disturb him. Could it be that he really watched this innocent Xiang King walk into a dead end?

Just as he was thinking, the person from there came to report that Xie Jin returned to his house. He was busy dealing with the Jinyiwei, but he didn't know why Xie Jin was going to Jingyuan Pavilion. When he asked, it turned out that Xie Jin had personally gone to Jingyuan Pavilion. Zhu Zhi couldn't help but admire the meticulousness of this person's work.

After a while, Xie Jin entered the room and saw Zhu Zhi sitting squarely and smiling, looking at him, confused by him. Zhu Zhi clapped the three in his hand and said: "It's rare that Lord Xie will experience it yourself, but what you want seems to be here.
