Ming Dynasty Strategy Notes [Transmigration Book]

The news that Mo Qingju had been copied to the bottom quickly reached King Yan's ears. Hearing that Jin Yiwei also intervened in the investigation of this matter, it shows that the emperor attaches great importance to it, and this matter seems to be a big trouble.In Yanwang Mansion——

Zhu Di patted the table and chairs, and said angrily: "Haoyue dared to betray this king! This king will never let him go!"

Zhang Yudao: "My lord, it's a pity that he has been protected by Dai Wang in an airtight way. At present, it seems that it is very difficult to move him."

This sentence undoubtedly poured another pot of boiling oil on King Yan, who was already on the verge of fury. King Yan immediately jumped into a rage, and shouted: "Also, Lan Qing, who is too good at success and failure, how dare he treat Eleven?" Brother to start? I really ate the courage of the ambitious leopard!"

Seeing that King Yan was so furious, Zhu Neng, who has always been grumpy, also stepped forward to persuade him: "Lan Qing is just a maidservant, who knows what is important, why should the prince care about him."

After Zhu Neng finished speaking, a slightly hoarse voice sounded——

"I don't think Lan Qing's attack was cruel enough. Why didn't he just poison the King of Shu to death? That way, he and Mo Qingju's death would be worth the King of Shu's life."

Zhu Di, Zhang Yu, and Zhu Neng all looked at the person who said the vicious words at the same time.Dao Yan, who was in his fifties, was sitting quietly on a sandalwood chair with a Buddhist bead in his hands, with a serene face and bright and wise eyes.On the face of it, Monk Daoyan looks like a benevolent, well-behaved monk who is indifferent to the world. It is a pity that Daoyan does not like Buddhism. He has two hobbies: one is yin and yang spells, and the other is molesting King Yan. rebel.He is truly a restless monk!

At this time, everyone in Zhu Di complained that Lan Qing was bold, but Dao Yan, who was outside the party, was more vicious than others.Dao Yan went on to say: "It is meaningless to discuss the previous mistakes now. The most urgent thing is to do two things to deal with the aftermath."

Zhu Di said: "Master, please clarify."

Dao Yan slowly said: "First, kill Lan Qing and the old bustard to silence; second, this matter involves the murder of the king of Shu by a young man in the Xianggu Pavilion. Since it is a matter of the royal family, the Dazong Zhengyuan has to intervene, my lord. I happen to be in the position of You Zongzheng, so I can apply to assist Jin Yiwei in investigating this matter, and our people will intervene, and the speed of handling the case will be accelerated, so we can quickly kill Mo Qingju and others, so that future troubles will be eliminated."

Zhu Di was used to Daoyan uttering such vicious words calmly and without wave, so he nodded and said, "Okay, just do as Master said."

In fact, apart from Lan Qing who was deeply trusted by him and knew some confidential things, the people in Mo Qingju were only used to spy on the news, except for the old bustard, the rest of the staff didn't even know who they were working for.

The most difficult thing was solved, Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt a little angry in his heart, and said: "It's a pity that we didn't notice this time, and the King of Shu took advantage of such a big loophole. Mo Qingju was destroyed, but it's really a young man. It was a big help!"

This Moqing residence is an elegant place in the middle of the capital. In addition to officials who have good friends with the King of Shu, officials who have good friends with other vassal kings also go in and out frequently. It is very convenient to collect various information. Good place, and not without reason.

Dao Yan smiled lightly, "When two tigers fight, how can they always gain the upper hand? It's more interesting when you come and go. The king of Shu is also strong, so I find it more interesting!"

Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng both trembled in their hearts when they saw the sparkle of interest in Dao Yan's eyes.Thinking that the two of them killed countless people on the battlefield, in terms of ruthlessness, compared with Master Daoyan, they are really far behind.

Dao Yan didn't have time to pay attention to what the two were thinking, so he reached out his hand to dip some tea in the teacup, wrote a few words on the table, and said to King Yan: "My lord, I have found evidence by someone, our next step is to You can take this guy down."

Zhu Di took a closer look, and said indifferently: "What's the point of taking this person down, he's just an inconspicuous little character."

Dao Yan said, "My lord, even a small person has the ability to make big waves. Besides, this person has a great talent, which has not been shown at this time, but it's just that the fire has not yet come."

Zhu Di nodded when he heard the words, "Then everything will be arranged according to the master. It shouldn't be difficult at all. Zhu Neng, you follow the master's orders and handle this matter well."

"Yes." Zhu Neng agreed.This time, the discussions in Prince Yan's mansion have come to an end.

The investigation into the murder of the King of Shu by Mo Qingju just started, and Qingyu, who was detained in the imperial prison, was flogged by Jin Yiwei for a while, and died that night.The caning punishment is considered the lightest among Jin Yiwei's punishments. Everyone just lamented that this is like a young man in a aunt's house. Although he is a man, he is really like a woman in a brothel, unable to withstand the slightest bit of wind and rain.As for Mo Qingju, the bustard, knowing that something serious happened, she hanged herself in fear of crime.After the death of these two people, the rest of Mo Qingju's Xiami Ren Jinyiwei couldn't find any useful information no matter how hard they searched.

In the end, Jin Yiwei only found out that the master behind Mo Qingju was a wealthy businessman in Huguang. As for why he was in the central part of Beijing to spy on the secrets of the princes and ministers, and who was the instigator behind it, they couldn't go any further.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Seeing that there was no progress in the further investigation, the Dazong Court, which cooperated with the investigation, requested that the owner of Mo Qingju, a group of young men and servants be executed as soon as possible, in order to imitate others, and to give the King of Shu an explanation.Ordinary people can be sentenced to a crime of "disrespect" if they don't kneel when they see the vassal king.

Emperor Hongwu was a man who killed people without blinking an eye. With a swipe of his pen, he agreed to the request of the Dazong Court and executed more than a hundred people.On the day of execution, another bloody storm erupted in the capital.

In the past month, Xia Ziling and Zhu Chun have not been idle, and naturally tried all kinds of means, but King Yan has a strong foundation and many party members, so it is absolutely impossible to drive him into the abyss once and for all.Simply being able to remove King Yan's important eyeliner in Beijing this time has already gained a lot.

Here, the battle with King Yan came to an end temporarily, but another unexpected incident happened.

After the pacification of Yunnan, Emperor Hongwu left Muying in Yunnan to guard due to constant small-scale disputes.A few days ago, bad news came from Yunnan——Mu Ying died of illness (1).Two family letters with the same content, one was delivered to Emperor Hongwu, and the other was delivered to Mu Sheng.

Mu Ying was the adopted son of Emperor Hongwu, and he had a good relationship with Empress Ma. When Empress Ma died of illness, Mu Ying, who was far away in Yunnan, coughed up blood due to excessive grief.Last year the crown prince Zhu Biao passed away, and Muying was depressed because of the complicated military affairs in Yunnan, so she couldn't come back to pay homage.

When Mu Sheng received a letter from his family a few months ago, he wanted to go to Yunnan to visit, but his father's letter also stated that the King of Shu's wedding was imminent, and he asked Mu Sheng to go to Yunnan after paying his respects on behalf of his father.And after the king of Shu got married, Haoyue came to vote, and the king of Shu arranged a plan to deal with the king of Yan. In order to help the king of Shu, Mu Sheng naturally couldn't leave.

After such a delay, I didn't even see my father for the last time.When Mu Sheng received the letter from his family, he felt so sad that the eight-foot man couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

As for Emperor Hongwu, when he heard the news of Mu Ying's death, he was also heartbroken, and immediately issued an imperial decree, ordering Mu Sheng to lead a ceremonial team to Yunnan to bring back Mu Ying's coffin and bury it in the capital.Later, Mu Ying was named King of Qianning and enjoyed the Taimiao.

When Xia Ziling got the news, he naturally went to Mu's mansion immediately. When his master passed away last year, Mu Sheng was by his side all the time. Now that a similar situation happened to Mu Sheng, he couldn't go to Yunnan with Mu Sheng. I feel ashamed.

A few days before Mu Sheng's departure, Xia Ziling went to Mu's residence every day to help, decorate the mourning hall, and prepare sacrificial objects, which can be regarded as a way of expressing his heart.

Until the day when Mu Sheng left Beijing, the King of Shu was unable to leave the mansion because of the previous impeachment, and Xia Ziling sent Mu Sheng out of Yingtian for another ten miles, and the two bid farewell.

Mu Sheng looked at Xia Ziling's unchanging gloomy appearance for the past few days, couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder, and said in relief: "Okay, don't look at me like that, as if we will never see each other again Same, I will come back after picking up my father."

"It will take at least two months to go to Yunnan. You and I will not see each other for half a year." In fact, Xia Ziling still has a faint worry in his heart. Mu Sheng welcomes Mu Ying's coffin, and naturally he will return to Beijing for burial Yes, but what about after the burial?If Mu Chun stayed in Yunnan alone, he might not be able to cope with the endless wars and small battles of the ethnic minorities. If Emperor Hongwu ordered Mu Sheng to stay in Yunnan with his elder brother, it would be very possible.

"Small half a year, but it's gone in a flash..." Mu Sheng paused, lowered his eyes, and said, "But if the emperor asks me to station in Yunnan from now on, what should I do?"

...Mu Sheng really wanted to go with him.

Xia Ziling thought for a moment before answering: "Jing Mao, the ethnic minorities in Yunnan are fierce, and there are elephant soldiers to help out. It is an excellent place to train the firearms army. If the emperor orders Jing Mao to station you in Yunnan, I hope you will do more. Diligence, I believe that you will be able to train the strongest firearms unit in Ming Dynasty."

Xia Ziling looked around and said that his answer made Mu Sheng feel faintly disappointed. This is the expected answer, isn't it?But...why still can't let it go in my heart, and still want to pursue it to the end?He has known Xia Ziling for nearly three years, and the two have had a life-threatening friendship. He firmly believes that Xia Ziling also regards him as a close friend, but it is far from what he wants...

"Bojia, do you still remember that you said that you would go to see the Three Pagodas of Dali with me?"

Xia Ziling looked at Mu Sheng's gentle eyes, and his heart beat suddenly twice. Did he think too much?Why did he feel that Mu Sheng's eyes were full of deep affection?It must be the messy relationship with Zhu Chun a few days ago that affected him. He Xia Ziling is not a hooker, how could he not attract women, but only attract men?

Mu Sheng still remembered a joke that day in Anning Hot Spring that day, and it still moved him a little.It's a pity... the current situation is imminent, and he is so busy that he has no time to appreciate the romance of Dali.I'm afraid that this sentence will be difficult to realize in the end.

"If one day the king of Shu becomes a vassal, the land of Bashu will not be far from Yunnan."

"..." Mu Sheng felt bitter in his heart. What Xia Ziling meant was that he had decided to follow Zhu Chun in this life. Even if the king of Shu went far away from the land of Shu, would he still follow him?
