7days ago Historical fiction 7
That night, three people were sent from Shanhaiguan and rushed to outside Kaiping City overnight. They entered the city with a hanging basket.

At this moment, Hou Hai, who was guarding the North Office of the State Council, was still interrogating the criminals under the order. When he heard the news, he immediately met the person!

The three, two of them were accomplices of the traitors under the Dai Wang's army. Seeing that the situation was wrong, they fled to the water and reported the news; the other was a Ming army military householder, who followed the Korean envoys to Shanhaiguan after being attacked.

Faced with the traitors that appeared inside and the exposure of his identity, a leader named Yang Pu among the criminals was finally willing to confess!

Name?Hou Hai picked up the brush and dipped it in the inkstone for a few quick times.

The person locked in chains and sitting on the stool opposite the table said: Yang Pu.

Hou Hai asked again: Why are you so brave and committing such a sin that you are unforgivable?

Yang Pu pondered for a while and sighed: This matter has nothing to do with the prince (Zhu Gui, the King of Dai), because we persuaded him many times.Yang had no fame and fortune, but fortunately he was appreciated and treated well by the prince, so he went to the Dai Palace to become a counselor.If you want to kill or cut, you will be able to listen to the emperor, but the prince is indeed killed by us!I'm sorry, the prince!

Hou Hai sneered: You are quite loyal.

Yang Pu said: But people's hearts are not the same as before, and there are too many people who speak right and wrong, and are greedy for life and fear of death!

We all swear to the sky and make an alliance with blood, but we didn’t expect that when things happened, there would always be someone who would be scattered!The most ridiculous thing is that the people we choose are all guards who have long supported the prince's uprising.When they talked in the palace, they were more anxious than anyone else to do big things; when they really did something, they were immediately scared to death, hum!

Hou Hai couldn't help but talk: You guys do big things, aren't it just for the sake of dying?The Lord will not believe those nonsense!Keep saying, don't just sigh.

Yang Pu still sighed again: During the Battle of Crime, I and some generals of the escort army persuaded King Dai more than once: Take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the court's inability to look north and seize the opportunity to plan major events!However, the King of Dai never let go.

Maybe because the original royal palace was not in danger.The Dai King was reduced to the vassal state by the court at the beginning of Jianwen, and the vassal state was restored during Yongle. During the "slaughter of crimes", the Hongxi court issued several orders to comfort the kings.The King of Dai has no stranger...

You fart!Hou Hai cursed.

Hou Hai was about to say that during the Battle of Crime, the secret reports of several major vassal kings in the north who wanted to form an alliance and raise an army were all kept in the palace!

I didn't do it later, but the princes had differences and didn't talk about it together.

Otherwise, why would the King of Valley in Changsha be arrested by Zhang Fu into the capital?

However, when Hou Hai thought of what Zhu Gaoxu said, he could not expand the matter for the time being.Hou Hai then held back and didn't say what he thought.

Yang Pu was stunned for a moment and said: That's because other vassal kings wanted to instigate the Dai king!After the "Battle of Crime" ended, the kings secretly sent envoys to persuade King Dai. King Dai once said: It only took half an hour for the emperor to defeat the 700,000 official army, and the chances of victory were not high.

Hou Hai hurriedly said: Don’t bite randomly, let’s make the truth.The important criminals locked up here are not from anyone else, they are all from the King of Dai!

Yang Pu was silent for a moment and said: Because we have conspired to persuade King Dai to raise an army many times, we understood that sooner or later, the old accounts will be settled by the court!The King of Dai may be able to protect his wealth, but those of us must be in danger.

Then, today, the first major event was to conquer Mongolia in the north and transfer the guards from the palaces of the northern princes; the signs that the court would continue to reduce the vassals were already very obvious!The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable.The deposed prince's family died, which made people feel that the emperor's decisive and ruthless...

Hou Hai couldn't help but interrupt him and said: I told you, don't bite it randomly!The deposed prince has nothing to do with the emperor.

Yang Pu lowered his head and frowned: In short, all the signs have made us panic.The imperial court gathered hundreds of thousands of troops on the ground of the governor-in-chief of Peking!When you attack Tatars in the north, you must go to Aikou Pass (Zhangjiakou); when the army leaves Juyong Pass, you can suddenly reach the city of Datong Prefecture!In this situation, should the emperor go to the north to fight against Mongolia or to eliminate the vassal kings?

The Dai King has been impeached and reported secretly by officials many times, and it is easy for the court to inflict crimes.The court's army is here, and the situation is becoming increasingly obvious. The Dai Prince's Mansion is probably the first vassal state to be defeated and will be removed soon!

Hou Haidao: This official is by the side of the emperor and is involved in planning all matters in the Northern Expedition.I have never heard of it. The emperor is preparing to attack the vassal kings by force; it is all you guessed.

Yang Pu seemed to not believe it, and he continued: Once the Dai Prince's Mansion is cut off, we will be killed!I also have selfish intentions, so I persuaded the King Dai to explain the pros and cons.The King of Dai finally recognized my knowledge and felt that disaster was near!However, the King of Dai knew that the emperor could fight well and could not have any rivals in the world, so he was still very afraid.

At that time, Huang Yan, the Zhao Palace, sent a secret envoy to inform the beauty sent by the North Korean country that he would go to the Peking Provincial Administration recently. There happened to be a slave in our palace who was a North Korean, who could disguise himself as an envoy of the North Korean country and teach my adopted daughter some Korean language.

I took the opportunity to offer a plan to the King of Dai!

It is planned to intercept the envoys of North Korea halfway, take away their seal letters and clothes, and use our people to replace the envoys of North Korea.Then I disguised myself as a North Korean beauty as my adopted daughter, and was able to approach the emperor in the Peking Administrative Office.The emperor loves beauty and has a reputation. This time, I happened to meet the beauty of the North Korean people passing by here, and I should be able to recruit them to sleep...

Hou Haidao: He has a bold idea, he is simply brave!

Yang Pu said: We are also forced to do so.

At that time, the officers and soldiers who were guarding the envoys should be unknown people, and no one knew the envoys and beauties of the North Korean country.

Only the censor Li Qi cannot appear; so I improved my plan and asked Li Qi to write a memorial in person to tell him about his illness.

Although the plan is bold, I think it's all right!

As long as the assassination of the priest can eliminate the fear of the Dai King.

The civil and military officials of the court would also try to return to the capital first and support the emperor again; the situation was turbulent, and the chances of the King of Dai would increase!

The King of Dai was very hesitant at first.I advised King Dai again that if he does not resist at this time, he will definitely die; rather than sit and wait for death, it is better to fight for it!King Dai finally nodded and reluctantly agreed to the plan during a secret conversation.

Hou Hai raised his head and said: Since it is not leaking, why is it leaking everywhere?You mingled in the escort army of the Daiwang Guards and entered the Beiping Administration and the governors' office. You had just left the army and were noticed by Ping'an, the left deputy general of the Northern Expedition before you even took action.

Then, as soon as you intercepted and killed the envoys and their teams, two traitors came out of your own people to inform them; and they also let the officers and soldiers guarding the North Korean envoys escape... Even if there was no mistake in advance, can you really deceive the emperor when you arrived in Kaiping City? Yang Pu, do you know why this situation is like this?

Yang Pu was distracted and said nothing.Hou Hai glanced at him and continued to write quickly.

Rush sha... In the quiet room, the sound of pen tips on paper can be heard.

After a long time, Hou Hai picked up the recorded confession and walked up to Yang Pu to inspect and sign and seal it.

After Hou Hai finished the matter, he walked out of the room, and it was probably early morning.He planned to take a nap first and wait for the morning before seeing the saint.

...Before dawn, horns sounded inside and outside the city.At this time, Kaiping City was much noisy than usual.

Hou Hai entered the palace and was taken to a dining room and saw Zhu Gaoxu still having breakfast.

After Hou Hai bowed, he placed a stack of paper on the round table.

Zhu Gaoxu asked him if he had eaten, and he nodded and said: I have eaten it.

Zhu Gaoxu held the chopsticks in his right hand and looked through the files with his left hand for a while.He took out an envelope from under the file and asked: What is this?

Hou Hai clasped his fists and said: When he returned to the emperor's words, Li Qi was caught by a traitor and wrote a memorial under coercion.

The envelope was not removed and there were painted prints.Zhu Gaoxu is not very convenient now, so he said: Take it apart and read it to me.

I obey the order.Hou Hai bowed and picked up the thing.

Hou Hai pulled out the memorial and started reading it as he did.

The general content in the memorial is similar to what Yang Pu confessed.

Li Qi said that he was not accustomed to the local conditions and had to return to North Korea for treatment. After recovering from his illness, he returned to North Korea to report his life as soon as possible.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly smiled while chewing things in his mouth.

He swallowed the food and said: This Li Qi is quite anxious.Tell him to prepare and don’t go back to the capital for the time being. Recently, I will follow me and follow the north to the north.

The minister receives the order!Hou Haidao.

Hou Hai felt something was strange and hurriedly read the memorial carefully.

Only then did he realize that Li Qi wrote a detail in the article: Before the throne of the emperor, I had never met the emperor; but now I am deeply trusted and entrusted with important tasks...

Hou Hai suddenly realized and remembered that Li Qi had been to Yunnan a few years ago!

On the eve of the Ming army's battle to conquer Annan, Li Qi passed by Yunnan and was ordered to ask the King of Han about his views on Annan affairs. How could he have never met the emperor?

Jingshi Li was just a little afraid of death.Hou Hai said.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Hou Hai: It's already very good.Hou Zuo's envoy and other former officials of the Han Dynasty's palace were loyal and selfless, but after all, there were not many people.

Hou Hai said happily: I am loyal to the emperor and I am unwilling to say anything!

Zhu Gaoxu nodded with no expression. There are too many people who show their loyalty to the emperor, and it is normal for the emperor to not care about it.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu had breakfast.Then he picked up the confession file and started to read it.

Huang Yan also participated?Zhu Gaoxu suddenly looked up and asked.

Hou Hai hurriedly clasped his fists and said: I have reminded Yang Pu not to bite randomly, nor did he use torture. This is Yang Pu’s confession in person!

Zhu Gaoxu stood up and paced around the room.

Hou Hai said in a deep voice: I am making a statement, and it is not advisable to go to Beiping City first!

Be calm and don't be impatient.Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand, frowned and made a gesture.
