History of Yongwu

In the flower hall, Kong Guo was sitting on a chair, holding a teacup, but he was obviously not in the mood to drink.Yang Jingyi walked back and forth underground, as if he was thinking hard about countermeasures.

"Master Yushi, tell me something, His Majesty wants to track down the people who handled the case back then, and you and I are among them."

Kong Guopei frowned. He was taken aback today, so he hastily objected. Now that he thinks about it, he must have fallen into the trap of His Majesty and King Jin.

"Master Yang, please don't worry. Since His Majesty wants to investigate, let him investigate. It is not yet known who will die."

"It was my lord's idea that Guan Wenbo and others were able to escape back then. I erased the list in order to survive. Now that your majesty is bringing up the old matter again, it's probably because of your lord's intention."

"Only me, my lord, and you knew about the matter back then, and then there are the officials who worked under me. What was the name of the chief official who managed the memorials in the prime minister's mansion back then, and where is he now? Do you know?" Kong Guopei asked calmly.

"I remember that at that time, it seemed that he was a chief official named Meng, and he should be in Dongjun now." Yang Jingyi said after thinking for a while.

"Find this person immediately and make him disappear!" Kong Guopei said harshly.

Yang Jingyi also calmed down, turned around and asked, "What if His Majesty suspects it?"

Kong Guopei smiled, and said confidently, "The matter has just begun, and His Majesty has no evidence for his suspicions. Once this person is eliminated, it will be difficult for them to pursue them." If His Majesty can kill him, there will be no need to find so many excuses.

Yang Jingyi also figured out the key point, got up and saluted and said, "I'll do it right now, my subordinate"

Yang Mansion

Yang Jingyi had just entered the door, and before he had time to deal with Chief Official Meng's affairs, his son Yang Pingfeng and daughter-in-law Guan Feiyan came to look for him. Guan Feiyan had a full stomach, and Yang Pingfeng carefully supported her, and walked slowly towards him. .

"Meet the Father"

"Meet the father-in-law"

Yang Jing waved his hands and said nothing, and ordered the servant to help Guan Feiyan to sit down. After Guan Feiyan sat down, he asked, "Feiyan, Feng'er, what can I do for my father?"

"Father-in-law, I heard that today's father's case has been judged, saying that my father is a spy of the King of Liang. Father-in-law, this is a serious crime against the nine clans. How could my father do it?" Guan Feiyan said eagerly.

"Feiyan, don't get excited." Yang Jing said with a sigh, "Your Majesty has made an order on this matter, and it is impossible to change it. I'm afraid I can't save Doctor Guan."

Guan Wenbo was his old friend for many years and his in-laws, now he had to abandon him in order to protect himself, Yang Jingyi felt ashamed in his heart, he didn't dare to look at Guan Feiyan, and covered his past vaguely.

Guan Feiyan was sad and didn't notice the abnormality of her father-in-law. Hearing what he said, she was in despair and she cried secretly in Yang Pingfeng's arms.

"Father" Yang Pingfeng couldn't bear it, he gently embraced his wife and asked, "Is there no way? The teacher must be innocent."

"Pingfeng, why are you so ignorant! It doesn't matter if you are innocent in this matter. If you can save Doctor Guan, will you not save him as a father? King Jin's beating of ministers is nothing more than trying to make things worse and make Doctor Guan Put to death" Yang Jing was full of guilt, and felt even more irritable when Yang Pingfeng said it, his tone became cold and hard.

"But alas..." Yang Pingfeng's expression changed slightly, he sighed and dared not say any more.

When Yang Jing saw this, he couldn't bear it, and said helplessly, "It's very dangerous to be a father now."

"Father, King Jin is so rude, doesn't His Majesty care about it? Besides, we have no grudges against him, why do you want to hurt us like this?" Yang Pingfeng has always been upright, and he is not resentful that King Jin is oppressing others.

His Majesty?His Majesty wished that they would all fall from power. The rivalry in the court was never due to grievances!

As soon as Yang Jing looked at him, he couldn't bear it, waved his hands and said wearily, "Feng'er don't ask any more questions, you should take Feiyan back, so that she can be comforted."

After Yang Pingfeng left, Yang Jingyi called his confidant and told him to go to Dongjun to find the chief official Meng and get rid of him. After the man left, it was already late at night.

Outside the window was covered with dark clouds and no light could be seen. Yang Jingyi stood at the window and sighed silently towards the dark courtyard.Guan old friend, I'm sorry, I can't save you, if I save you, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect myself, you can go at ease!I will treat Feiyan well.

in the room

"Brother Feng, what should I do?" Guan Feiyan leaned into Yang Pingfeng's arms and asked.

Yang Pingfeng didn't know how to answer, he hesitated and said, "Nowadays there is a lot of rumors outside, saying that the teacher is a spy of Liang Wangxi."

"My father is not!" Guan Feiyan said excitedly.

"I know, but His Majesty..." Yang Pingfeng looked at his wife and didn't have the heart to continue.

Guan Feiyan looked at her husband's expression, and she knew in her heart that His Majesty's official conviction cannot be changed, but it was his father!What can she do when her father, who is nearly fifty years old, encounters such a catastrophe? Does she really want to watch her father die tragically on the execution ground?

There was a cramping pain in her chest, Guan Feiyan grabbed Yang Pingfeng's arm tightly, a tear fell from the corner of her eye, and then passed out.

"Feiyan! Feiyan!" Yang Pingfeng turned pale with shock, and hurriedly shouted outside, "Come on, call the doctor quickly, call the doctor quickly!"

In the 14th year of Fude, the Marquis of Diancheng was charged with despising the emperor's favor and deceiving the emperor and his superiors. He was ordered by the Ming Emperor to exterminate the nine clans.

The Qing Party and the Southern Party have been fighting each other since the time of Qin Yu's grandfather, Emperor Jing, and it intensified in the later period, involving the abolition of the crown prince. The Southern Party supported Emperor Ming, while the Qing Party supported King Liang.At that time, the Qing Party was stronger than the Southern Party. In order to win the high position, Emperor Ming agreed to marry the daughter of the Qing Party veteran Lin Taishi as the queen, and eventually inherit the general rule.

However, after Emperor Ming ascended the throne, he did not trust the Qing Party, even hated the Qing Party, and secretly supported the Southern Party, which led to more intense struggles between the two factions.In the 14th year of Ford, the imperial court argued over the establishment of the first son and the eldest son. The Qing Party supported the establishment of the first son Qin Hao, and the Southern Party supported the establishment of the eldest son Qin Zheng. The massacre of Hou Mu Zhengfeng in Diancheng.

Most of the important officials of the Qing Party were purged, and Taishi Lin was forced to resign from the position of prime minister.

In the 18th year of Fude, Emperor Ming wanted to choose a concubine for Qin Zheng, and then set up the East Palace. Rong Xuan's ambitions swelled. Fearing that the Southern Party was too powerful at that time, it did not severely punish it.

In the same year, Emperor Ming fell ill and was bedridden for several months, and Rong Xuan took over the government. Emperor Ming was afraid that if he died, Qin Zheng would be threatened by the Southern Party after he ascended the throne, so he contacted Taishi Lin and the Qing Party to jointly deal with the Southern Party.

Taishi Lin used this to rehabilitate Mu Zhengfeng, the marquis of Diancheng, and accused the Southern Party of intentionally slandering Zhongliang.

So far, the power of the Southern Party and the Qing Party has been greatly discounted. After experiencing the struggle between the two factions, Emperor Ming was afraid to support either faction, which also led to Qin Zheng and Qin Hao fighting for the throne for many years without result.

However, in order to ensure that Qin Zheng could successfully succeed to the throne, Emperor Ming still secretly helped. When Mu Zhengfeng overturned the case, Rong Xuan was supposed to be in charge of the case. The mastermind behind the scenes, Rong Xuan had no choice but to ask to avoid suspicion.

So Emperor Ming took advantage of the situation and assigned Qin Zheng to be in charge of the case, hoping to let Qin Zheng win over some of the Southern Party's hearts, and also to put the Southern Party at ease, so as to prevent the Qing Party from becoming dominant. There is no reason to be vindicated.

It was Ting Wei Mansion who was in charge of the specific investigation back then, and Kong Guopei was the Ting Wei at that time. After Rong Xuan's crime was exposed, although he dared not name Emperor Ming, all his party members were found out.After reading the list, Kong Guopei did not submit it directly to Emperor Ming, but instead approached Qin Zheng. Qin Zheng asked for a way to save a few people in order to win people's hearts.

So Kong Guopei suggested that Tingwei's Mansion has already kept records, and it cannot be erased from him. It is better to submit it to the Prime Minister's Mansion. The reasoning should be the same. Transfer to the memorial to save these people.

So Qin Zheng secretly ordered to follow him since he was a child. His former companion and now the prime minister's governor, Shi Yang Jingyi, revised the list. Emperor Ming knew it well, so he just finished the matter hastily, and it is even more impossible to track down Qin Zheng after he ascended the throne.

In order for Emperor Xuan to succeed to the throne, he had to win over the various factions. Moreover, due to Emperor Ming's suppression back then, Emperor Xuan was not very clear about these matters, so Kong Guopei, Yang Jingyi and others would be negligent.

The reason why Qin Yu is so clear is that Mu Shaoyun stopped his carriage in the street and claimed that he was Mu Zhengfeng's posthumous son, but knowing the identity of the young master, he wondered why such an important matter, how could he rely on himself alone? Children's words are just a hasty conclusion.

Now it seems that this matter was carefully planned, and the timing of Mu Shaoyun's appearance was exactly when the Qing Party was suppressing the Southern Party. What could be more convincing than the orphan of a loyal minister, and more conducive to continuing the struggle with the Southern Party!

Originally after the investigation, Qin Yu wanted to tell Emperor Xuan so that His Majesty could follow the vines and get rid of these people one by one, but since he was investigating privately, and if Emperor Xuan asked him why he was investigating, he would inevitably mention Shaoyun's matter, which was unavoidable He was suspicious of himself, so he didn't say anything.

Qin Yu didn't think of using this matter to bring down Kong Guopei's party until Emperor Xuan asked him about his strategy after entering Beijing.

King Jin's Mansion

"Little Fuzi, has Wang Meng set off yet?" His Royal Highness King Jin asked.

"Go back to the prince, we have already set off"

Qin Yu moved his body, adjusted to a more comfortable position to lie down, and said, "Well, that's good, I'll report back as soon as I get any news." After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

What he did back then will now have to pay the price, and no one can escape.

In Tingwei's mansion, Gu Lei checked all the people involved in the case, including the interrogators, and found no cover-up behavior, so he found out the files from that year. Surprisingly, there were records about the criminals in the files. In charge of Wenbo, he was startled and vaguely felt that this matter might not be that simple.

"come"

"What's the matter, my lord"

"Go and find out who was the Tingwei in Ford from 14 to 18"

"Yes" the boy agreed and went to look for the files.After a while, he came back and said, "Answer my lord, it was Lord Kong Guopei who served as Tingwei back then."

"Kong Guopei" Gu Lei frowned and muttered.

In the main hall, Kong Guopei tried his best to stop the investigation. Could it be that he is the one who really protects Wen Bo? No, the case was full of uproar back then, even if Ting Wei got the result, he had to report it to His Majesty. How could a Ting Wei be able to make the decision.

"Come and follow me into the palace"

Gu Lei lowered his brows and left the government office quickly. All the submitted memorials were archived in the Shangshu Bureau. He wanted to look for them to find out where the problem was.

King Jin's Mansion

"My lord, General Wang is back." Xiao Fuzi hurried in from the Chuihua Gate to report.

"Yeah, let him come here"

Wang Meng followed Xiao Fuzi into the yard.

"See the lord, what are you doing, lord, what are you doing?" Wang Meng looked at the scene in front of him in shock, and immediately threw what he had just said halfway to the back of his mind.

Under the rockery, six people, each naked, wrestled in pairs under the scorching sun. His Royal Highness King Jin stood in the distance, watching with interest.

"The last general will see the prince." Wang Mengqiang raised his voice.

Seeing him, Qin Yu waved the people below to disperse, "You're back, let's talk in the study."

"How about it, did you bring it back?"

"Return to the prince, I received it, and now I am living in a secret residence in the east of the city"

"Well, take a good look, don't make any mistakes, Mr. Gu will look for him soon." He sat down and took a sip of tea and continued to ask, "Who did you meet on the way back?"

"When I met a group of people, I also went to Meng Changli's house. It seems that the visitors are not friendly." When Wang Meng left, he sent someone to watch Meng Changli's house. Kill people.

"It should be the person sent by Yang Jingyi." Qin Yu said indifferently, and then continued to order, "Since you are back, continue to pay attention to Tingwei's Mansion. Once Lord Yushi goes there, report to me immediately."

"Yes" Wang Meng took the order and retreated.

Outside the door, the little Fuzi sent Wang Meng out all the way, Wang Meng looked at the little Fuzi beside him and pondered for a while and asked, "Eunuch Fu, what was the prince doing before?"

Xiao Fuzi looked at him and said with a smile, "My lord said it's boring to watch dancing all the time."

"" So you just watch people wrestling without clothes on?Wang Meng was speechless for a while, regretting that he had to ask.

Inside the Shangshu Bureau, Gu Lei was holding a file and was thinking about something, until the people next to him called him back to his senses.

"Thank you, father-in-law, I will take my leave"

"Master Gu, walk slowly"

Gu Lei hastily left the palace and returned to Tingwei Yamen, now the matter is clear, the former emperor did not intentionally spare Guan Wenbo and others, but someone tampered with the memorial, so the Tingwei Kong Guopei was the most suspect up.

Back at the yamen, Gu Lei immediately sent someone to Yushi's mansion to spread the word, saying that he had something to invite Mr. Yushi to come here.His Royal Highness King Jin came with Kong Guopei. When Gu Lei came out to greet him, he wondered why King Jin came.

"I don't know the prince is here, so I'm far away to welcome you," Gu Lei said respectfully.

"It doesn't matter, Your Majesty sent this king to see how the investigation of Guan Wenbo's case is going. I don't want to meet Lord Yushi at the door." Qin Yu said with a smile, "What? Lord Yushi is also concerned about Guan Wenbo's case."

"My lord is really good at timing." Kong Guopei sneered and did not answer Qin Yu's question.

"The lower officials invited Lord Yushi to come here, and I have to ask him about some things." Gu Lei was afraid that the two of them would quarrel like the palace again, and if King Jin beat someone here, he would not be able to stop him.

Qin Yu and Kong Guopei followed Gu Lei into the inner office, and as soon as they sat down, Kong Guopei said, "I don't know why Mr. Gu is here to ask me?"

Gu Lei leaned forward and said, "If you dare to ask your lord, do you remember the rehabilitative case of Ford's Mu family in 18 years?"

Kong Guopei frowned, and said angrily, "Everyone knows about this, why do you only ask me?"

Hearing this, Qin Yu gave him a sideways glance, and sneered unabashedly. Sure enough, this sneer attracted Gu Lei and Kong Guopei's sideways glances.

"My lord Yushi, he was serving as a court lieutenant back then, so he must know more details than others."

"Oh? It turns out that Lord Yushi presided over the case back then, no wonder His Majesty didn't let His Majesty investigate that day." Qin Yu teased Chong Gulei and rolled his eyes, insisting that others pay attention to him.

"My lord, please don't slander the officials." Kong Guopei ignored Qin Yu's provocation, and said calmly, "Although the officials presided over the trial, everything was recorded and reported to His Majesty."

Seeing that the King of Jin was not forgiving, Gu Lei was afraid of causing trouble, so he hurriedly asked Kong Guopei, "Your Majesty wants to know, but Lord Yu Shi himself wrote the booklet for His Majesty."

"I can't remember clearly." Kong Guopei paused for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "Is there something wrong?"

"The lower officials found out that the papers presented to the first emperor did not match the list of files written by your lord."

Kong Guopei didn't panic at all, and slowly said while holding a teacup, "Master Gu thinks I am the one who revised the memorial?"

"Don't dare, it's just strange, my lord should explain to the subordinate, why is this so?"

Gu Lei's words were humble but he didn't give in at all. Qin Yu felt that Gu Lei was like a rock of Mount Tai, and his honesty made people feel uncomfortable.

Kong Guopei frowned, lowered his head and thought for a while, then said to Gu Lei suddenly, "I remembered, I sent the book to the prime minister's residence, and the prime minister's residence will pass it on to the late emperor."

"Master Kong's memory is amazing, remember when you should remember, and forget when you should forget," Qin Yu sneered at the right time.

"you"

Anyone who is always being ridiculed will be angry. Kong Guopei wanted to distinguish at first, but then he thought he couldn't talk to the King of Jin, so he snorted and ignored it, as if he didn't want to be with the King of Jin.

"My lord, the late emperor must pay attention to such a big case, why didn't my lord report it directly to the late emperor?" As a court lieutenant, Gu Lei naturally knew the key point.

"What do you mean by Mr. Gu?" Kong Guopei's face turned cold, and he leaned towards him and said, "According to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is in charge of this matter, so there is nothing wrong with me sending the zhezi to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"There's nothing wrong with it." Sitting aside, Qin Yu shook his head while holding a tea cup and said, "It's just that Prime Minister Rong Xuan had already been imprisoned at that time. Master Kong has always been cautious in his affairs, and this move is really a secret."

"In this way, someone in the prime minister's mansion revised the memorial." Gu Lei lowered his head and thought for a while, then muttered, "I don't know if the person who managed the memorial in the prime minister's mansion back then can still be found?"

Kong Guopei looked at Gu Lei, smiled imperceptibly, picked up his teacup, took a sip and did not speak.

"The person who was in charge of the memorial was named Meng, and now he is at my king's place. Why don't the king take your lord to see him tomorrow?" Qin Yu said suddenly.

"what?"

"what!"

Kong Guopei and Gu Lei stood up together, Qin Yu finally showed the most normal smile from just now, he looked at Kong Guopei and said kindly, "That's right, my lord will be able to see him tomorrow."

Kong Guopei's face twitched invisibly, he turned his head to Gu Lei and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Mr. Gu, since I'm fine, I'll go back first."

"My lord, go slowly." Gu Lei bowed behind and saluted, then turned to ask King Jin, "Is what the lord just said true?"

Qin Yu said with an exaggeratedly serious expression, "Of course, I can still tease you."

"I don't know my lord, how did you find this person?" Gu Lei wondered, he just learned about this matter, how did King Jin find all of them.

"Well, it just so happens that we'll talk about it another day."

Gu Lei thought that he was going to continue talking, but unexpectedly he changed the topic, which made his heart still not sinking when he raised it.

His Royal Highness King Jin looked up at the time, and said with his hands behind his back, "I have been here for a while, and this king is going to enter the palace to reply to His Majesty. Let me take my leave, Lord Tingwei."

outside the house

"My lord, Kong Guopei has gone to Yang Jing's family," Wang Meng whispered into his ear.

Qin Yu nodded and smiled at the direction Kong Guopei left, and ordered, "Go to the palace."
