[Comprehensive martial arts] I fall into the city

Those in power in the past dynasties have paid attention to linking celestial phenomena with the Son of Heaven. Favorable weather means that the Son of Heaven is wise, natural disasters such as drought and floods mean that the Son of Heaven is immoral, comets come to the world because of traitors, and earthquakes and thunder are warnings from heaven.

A few years ago when Comet came, the civil and military sentiments of the Manchu Dynasty were so excited that they almost forced him to abolish Concubine Wan. Now, the thunder is hitting Anxi Palace again. The Emperor Chenghua can already imagine the scene of the Great Dynasty tomorrow.

Concubine Wan Gui was still sobbing, she had always been a strong woman, and almost never showed such a weak appearance in front of him, which made Emperor Chenghua feel like a knife piercing his heart.

The Imperial Army quickly arrived, but the Emperor Chenghua refused to leave. He hugged Concubine Wan in his arms, looked up at the sky, and said loudly: "If there is a spirit in the sky, just smash me."

Stuttering usually makes it hard to speak loudly. After Chenghua Tianzi finished speaking, he couldn't help coughing a few times. At this moment, Thunder suddenly paused, and then turned away, looking directly at the imperial concubine under the protection of the imperial guards. The two split off.

It was falling at the feet of the two of them.

Concubine Wan Gui was so frightened that her legs were weak, because she had to serve the emperor before, she still had makeup on her face, and now she was crying, she cried and said: "Everyone fears concubines like a tiger, and now even the sky wants to accept me! What heinous thing did you do? There are countless people in the world who are more virtuous than me, why should I be the only one?"

Concubine Wan Gui cried sincerely, Emperor Chenghua hugged her tightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Today, you and I will live and die together."

He said so, but Concubine Wan Gui refused to ask him to do it. She didn't know where the strength came from, and pushed Chenghua Emperor away, and sat on the ground herself. Scattered and not neatly dressed, she doesn't look like a noble concubine who is over ten thousand people, but like a shrew in the village.

Emperor Chenghua wanted to step forward, but Concubine Wan Gui shouted: "You are the son of Shengtian, and I am a lowly old woman. If you want to kill me today, why do you come again?"

She said and cried.

Emperor Chenghua also shed tears and cried, "Sister Zhen'er!"

The two cried in front of each other. Not long after, the Empress Dowager Zhou arrived, she just caught up with Tianlei's tail, and heard three thunderclaps, striking beside the two emperors and concubines.

Li Ning was a little sleepy, she was too far away, she wasn't quite sure where the lightning struck, but she could faintly sense that no one had been struck, so she rubbed her eyes and went to sleep peacefully.

Although she feels sorry for the emperor here, Li Ning doesn't feel too guilty. After all, she has heard from Daiyu that in her opinion, the emperor here is not a good emperor.

Li Ning had no dreams all night, the palace was brightly lit, the cabinet ministers entered the palace at night, but they couldn't come up with any regulations.

The emperor of Chenghua knew very well that what happened tonight could not be concealed, but he must not allow everyone to attribute the warning of the sky thunder to the noble concubine. After a while, the emperor's eyes fell on Wan'an who was kneeling at the bottom.

Strictly speaking, Wan An is not considered the elder brother of Concubine Wan. His family is at best a relative, but he was hired by the Concubine after the Concubine was registered. Up to now the chief assistant of the cabinet.

Chenghua emperor is not stupid, he is just incompetent, he still knows what kind of guy Wan An is, but he reluctantly appoints him because of the favor of the imperial concubine. To slaughter, he has raised Wan An for these years, and it's time to use it.

After Wan An returned home, he felt flustered for some reason.

He only stays in the cabinet for half a day during the day, and at night is usually the time when he does some shady affairs and concubines. When he comes back from the palace, he thinks about the emperor's deep affection for the concubine, and obviously he has no intention of abolishing the concubine. The astronomical matter was drawn on the heads of the political opponents, but it was far-fetched. After pondering for a while, he opened the letter he received recently and saw that it was a letter from a branch of Jinling, saying that several of his cousins ​​and two uncles were sent by the newly appointed Jinling prefect. He was arrested, and one was beaten to death during the trial, and the rest of the cases have been closed, so he begged him to press down on the matter.

It wasn't a big deal, but the prefect of Jinling literally slapped him in the face, Wan An was in a bad mood, so he kept the matter in mind and prepared to deal with it directly in the morning.

However, he didn't have time to do it.

The emperor of Chenghua strictly ordered the palace to unify the caliber. The eunuch Liang Fang testified that when the thunder fell last night, he was about to shelve the case of Wan An, but the thunder warned the emperor not to be rash. Sure enough, many evil deeds of Wan An were found out.

The ministers didn't know whether they believed it or not, anyway, they just watched the emperor stammering and making up with cold eyes.

The emperor of Chenghua said again: "And when I fell asleep last night, a fairy fell into a dream and told me that Wan and Wan'an are Cai Jing from the former court. They were reincarnated and are really evildoers."

In fact, the emperor didn't sleep at all during the second half of the night, just listening to the quarrel between Concubine Wan Gui and his mother, the Queen Mother Zhou.

The people who had experienced the comet case had given up hope that the Emperor Chenghua would deal with Concubine Wan Gui. Seeing that the Emperor intended to exchange Wan An, they whispered to each other, and a few people came out and reported the names of several members of the Wan clan. Immediately made a shocked look, saying that they would investigate together.

So come and go.

As soon as the upper echelons of the Manchu Wan Clan's party members went, more than half of them went.

All the civil and military officials were satisfied, and so was the Emperor Chenghua. To him, Concubine Wan Gui was ranked first. As long as Concubine Wan Gui was not involved, those Wan Clan members who could not be defeated would count as one. It doesn't matter if they're all dead.

Then that night, thunder resounded through the Forbidden City again, but this time it was replaced by the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The next day, the officials and the emperor looked at each other.

The civil and military leaders of the Manchu Dynasty were all strong, and they were all transferred away one by one after the Comet case, and those who stayed were basically cowardly. At this moment, no one dared to point the finger at Concubine Wan Gui. After all, it was Taihe who was struck by lightning. Dian, if you say that the Son of Heaven is unvirtuous, isn't that also saying that the courtiers are incompetent?

Emperor Chenghua pondered all night and couldn't come up with an excuse, nor did the officials below come up with a regulation.

After all, the people of Wan'an are already in jail, and one of the members of the Wan clan has been arrested and everyone who committed the crime has been arrested. Who should be responsible for this thunderstorm?

At this moment, the cabinet minister Liu Jue pondered for a while and said: "Two days ago, the prefect of Jinling sent 270 three volumes of dossiers, claiming that they were cases accumulated over the years in the eight counties of Jinling, most of which were unjust cases. There were too many files, so the cabinet shelved them, and on the night of the warning from heaven, Wan An sent someone to take away a few files."

Even Emperor Chenghua was taken aback by the number of dossiers.

Another cabinet minister, Liu Ji, has always been at odds with Liu Jue, and now he also echoed: "The ministers have read some of the case files, and most of them are the old nobles in Jinling who oppressed the local good people. Over the years, there have been countless bloody cases. The prefect of Jinling He handled the case impartially, without fear of the powerful, but was suppressed by Wan An's orders and was not allowed to submit to the court."

Emperor Chenghua quickly asked for the case files to be fetched.

The file was brought up.

The court-style case file generally requires the government government statement, the plaintiff’s pleadings, and the defendant’s confession to be copied. A case file has three sheets of paper, each of which is printed into a book, sealed with a thick roll, rolled into a roll, and fully loaded. There were several large boxes, but what was finally carried up was a blood book written by the people of Jinling.

Maybe more than ten thousand people.

The heavy white silk was spread out on the ground of the palace, and the large and small writings were all red, black and bloody. Those who could not read could press their fingerprints, palm prints, and the last handwriting on the white silk was flying, and it was signed by Li Che, the prefect of Jinling.

The people who were originally making excuses for Lei Ting couldn't tell for a moment whether they were relieved or more heavy.

Chenghua Emperor said in a low voice, "How come, so."

At this time Liu Jue said again: "I also heard that the prefect Li ordered people to go to Beijing to arrest a son of an eunuch who committed a murder case. As a result, the arrester who was carrying the official documents of the court could not even enter the gate. In desperation Just have to go back."

Emperor Chenghua was startled and said, "Is there anything else?"

Liu Jue nodded and said: "It's absolutely true, this person is Ziweishe's descendant Xue Gong, who was related to Rong Guogong Jia's family. After he went to Beijing, he lived in Rong Guogong's mansion. Shut it out, most of the neighbors know about it.”

Ziwei Sheren has now changed his name, and when Jia's family is mentioned again, Emperor Chenghua immediately knows that this "Ziwei Sheren" is the Ziwei Sheren of the ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, and he can't help saying angrily: "One, after the old minister, dare to do so furious!"

After the court, it was noon.

Now is the autumn season, which is a good time for nourishment. Xue Pan just came to the capital a few days ago. He killed someone in Jinling, but he didn't take it to heart. He didn't come to the capital to escape the case, but It is to send a younger sister to be selected, the emperor only loves Concubine Wan Gui, and he has not been selected several times in the draft. Naturally, it is not for the emperor to choose, but for the princess to accompany the princess.

It's a big deal to get involved with the emperor in everything. Although the Xue family is rich, it is not as good as before. If his younger sister can go to the palace for a while, it will be a good idea to marry in the future, so he these days besides buying for his younger sister Things, I didn't have time to get busy with anything else.

After finally resting, Xue Pan thought about it again, ate the mutton pot, looked at Xiang Ling who was serving at the side, and thought about how to get rid of the little hoof later.

It has been almost a year since Xue's family came to the capital. Xue Pan originally planned to repair his own house and live there, but he did not expect to stay in Jia's mansion for a while, but he became like-minded with the Jia family's dudes, and he did not plan to leave for a while.

Halfway through eating the mutton pot, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

It is said to be knocking on the door, but in fact it is no different from smashing the door.

Xue Pan was a little strange, but also a little annoyed. Xue's family lived in the old man's courtyard where Duke Rong used to live. On weekdays, no one came. It was his mother who went to talk to the second wife.

However, before he could ask someone to check the situation, the door over there had already been smashed open, and a flying fish suit walked in first.

Xue Pan has only seen him on the street a few times, but this outfit is familiar to everyone.

Flying fish suit, embroidered spring knife.

Daming Jinyiwei!
