No one knows that what really angered Zhu Zhanji was the sentence in Zhang Ning's letter that Emperor Xuande is currently incompetent, and his suspicion of betrayal and distrust is not as effective as this sentence.
That sentence is indeed slandering, because of Taizong's preference and Zhu Zhanji can be regarded as an emperor with extensive knowledge and ability, but he is indeed a young emperor in his thirties, and he is used to being pampered and elegant, so he still has some youthful and arrogant mentality; so someone blatantly despises him, and the shame of failures has been pressed down on his heart, and it is inevitable that he will suddenly get angry, which is normal.
……
Of course, if I used this sentence to talk about Renzong Zhu Gaochi before, Zhu Gaochi would probably not care.
Because Zhu Gaochi was fat and dull during his lifetime, he was not favored by his elder brother for a long time, and was even more angry with the younger brother of the King of Han many times. He was used to being despised and a very calm person.
A few days later, Zhu Zhanji's anger was slightly slowed down, and then he recalled what happened to Yang Shiqi. As the former official of Renzong (Zhu Zhanji's father), Yang Shiqi was imprisoned several times for protecting Renzong, and had a deep relationship with the late emperor.
But the matter has been progressing to the present moment, and it is extremely difficult to recover when the bow is drawn without turning back; Zhu Zhanji's suspicion has not been lifted.
The emotional foundation of Yang Shiqi and Renzong was greatly reduced when they arrived in the Xuande Dynasty after a generation.
Things had to let this continue. Zhu Zhanji was preparing to follow the rules step by step. The court officials took the step toward the surgery with Yang Shiqi's son, and that was just beginning.
However, Zhu Zhanji kept this matter in his heart. He asked Wang Gou'er what Yang Shiqi was doing when he was working in the morning.
Wang Gou'er said that he went to the office of the Ministry of Rites in Yangzhou early in the morning.
Everything was normal. Before Yang Shiqi was suspended and investigated, he could only continue to pass, but there were people monitoring his movements at any time.
……
There are often signs before the incident begins, the most obvious one is like the impeachment memorials that came one after another before Yang Shiqi's fall; there are also very inconspicuous ones, the flowers that originally appeared on the wall suddenly disappeared one day, but it is almost impossible for such an irrelevant thing to attract people's attention.
Local officials in the Ming Dynasty usually only get promoted to the court once every three days, but officials in the capital have to go straight to the court every day, usually only take a break every ten days.
Yang Shiqi still went out the next day as usual. He stayed in the office all day and had to wait until he went out to take a sedan chair home.
The Peach Blossom Fairy has been preparing for a long time near the Hongyao Bridge, because the officials traveled south from the Beicheng River Palace and must cross this bridge.
They took a carriage to the riverside, and the followers around them pretended to be bored. Some were throwing stones into the river to play, and some were chatting with each other, as if waiting for someone.
This Red Medicine Bridge is also called the Twenty-four Bridge. It means that the salt merchants use the Tang Dynasty poem Twenty-four Bridges on the Moon Night. The buildings in the poem were rebuilt here, and the Twenty-four Bridges refer to the name of a bridge.
The peach blossom fairy in the carriage wore a round-necked robe, a bun, and a gauze hat to cover her face with a gauze, and from time to time she looked at the situation outside.A very ugly person sat opposite her, the eunuch Wang Zhen.
The Taohua Fairy said: If we ask the prince to order the stalker to withdraw, if something happens in the future, we will investigate it to the end. If the paper cannot cover the fire, it will eventually be dangerous. Or if you are discovered by the novel, and then ask you to force it down, it will still be suspicious.This method is really hard to do.So let Eunuch Wang come here in person and tell us in detail the arrangement of the factory guards. In this way, even if something happens, it is easy to find someone who takes responsibility. God knows you and I know.
Wang Zhen did not express his dissatisfaction. He had already received Wang Gou'er's approval before he came to do this.
As Peach Blossom Fairy said, Wang Gou'er and Wang Zhen both felt that it was not very risky to participate in secret affairs like this. They had no tail exposed, and Wang Gou'er's power would easily blame others for the consequences.
After crossing the bridge, there were seven people near the entire street.
Wang Zhen said calmly.
On the way, seven people followed Yang Shiqi, and they watched this for a long time. This was already a very high-level surveillance, and only big names like the Prime Minister are qualified to enjoy this treatment.
Did you see the pavilion in the middle of the river by the bridge? It is called Wan in the middle of the water. The man without a hat inside is a man. From the pavilion, you can see every move on the bridge and the two ends of the bridge.
Then there is the tallest teahouse on the east side of Sishui Street. There are only buildings here, and there is no window facing the street... Just count from the north, and there is someone from ours staring at it in the third window.Here, looking down at this section of the road from a high place can monitor the situation and momentum.
Another person was strolling and waiting under the archway at the entrance of the street. After a while, Yang Shiqi's sedan chair crossed the bridge and handed it over to the people here. The people under the archway would mingle in the crowd and follow each other, observing the situation on the street vertically.
The last group of people was arranged on the fork in the middle of Sishui Street. There were two groups of people, all on the west side of Sishui Street. You can see the movements on the teahouse on the east side.There are at most three people in the first group. If there is any situation, the people in the teahouse send signals from a high place, and a group of people here will send people to support it.
The Peach Blossom Fairy silently remembered in her heart that although there were seven people, there were five sentinels. As long as you remember the numbers, there would be no omissions.After hearing this, she asked Wang Zhen to say it again, and then she made sure.
She couldn't help but say a distracting sentence: Are you staring at me so hard that you are so decent? Did Eunuch Wang personally arrange these people?
Wang Zhen said a little embarrassedly: This morning, the emperor asked his godfather what Yang Shiqi was doing. The godfather must arrange things carefully if the emperor is concerned about, otherwise he would be careless. Who would take the responsibility if he was negligent?
What Eunuch Wang said is extremely true.The Taohua Fairy said, and she opened the curtain and ordered, "You drive the car slowly and walk from Sishui Street once more, and I will follow you on foot."
Then they walked away from Sishui Street in person, and the Taohua Fairy was already calculating.
It is said that the players were really staring at each secret whistle, and it is difficult to detect every secret whistle; but after they have mastered their detailed deployment, the situation is completely different. The enemy is open and we are secret, and six or seven people cannot truly achieve no blind spots on the street.
The Peach Blossom Fairy is used to walking in the world and has no habit of thinking carefully. She will do it if she sees it correctly.
……
Before You hour, Yang Shiqi's sedan chair appeared at the 24th Bridge as scheduled.
It's just that the normal straightness is not as important as formal travel, so there is no sign of "silent and avoidance"; except for one sedan chair, there are only eight people outside, four of them carrying the sedan chair, and two followers walking in front and back.
However, as long as it is a sedan chair, it is a symbol of status, and it can almost be concluded that it is an official; because merchants are not allowed to sit in a sedan chair in the law, and although some regulations have gradually become invalid, even if merchants want to sit in a sedan chair, they cannot be upright and open.
Yangzhou is prosperous and there are many pedestrians on the road.Everything seemed calm, just like countless peaceful nights, and no one could see the mystery on the market.
The sedan chair crossed the 24 bridges as usual, and pedestrians in the middle of the street avoided the sedan chairs with status, but occasionally they would encounter the same sedan chair, carriage or carriage of the vendors, so they should slow down and pass by carefully.
Sishui Street is not as straight as ink lines, and its shape is naturally curved.
The sedan chair had just turned a corner when suddenly a woman dressed in a man walked out from the west side of the street to stop the sedan chair.
The manager of the Yang family named Wang in front hurriedly said: Stop, stop sedan!
This point happens to be a blind spot.
The peach blossom fairy came out from the west side of the street. Although the teahouse on the west side was high, it was blocked by the pavilion building. The wide eaves just blocked the sedan chair. There was no fork in the road nearby, and it did not belong to the surveillance range of horizontally arranged eyeliner. In order not to be discovered and kept a distance, the spy followed behind temporarily left the line of sight after turning, but it must be fast, otherwise it would be seen if hesitated.
In order not to attract the attention of passers-by, the Peach Blossom Fairy showed clues, but did not run away, but walked quickly to the head of the sedan chair and said to the manager who was dressed in different ways in front: Miss Luo recognizes me.Don't stop, leave immediately.
After saying that, he lifted the curtain straight away and leaned over and crawled in.
The sedan was quickly carried back to marching.
At this time, the Peach Blossom Fairy discovered that in addition to Yang Shiqi and Luo Moniang, there was also a little boy who was five or six years old.
She didn't bother to ask the child what was going on, and quickly observed the situation outside through the crack behind.
In just a short while, she found the following eyeliner from the vast pedestrians...
Nothing happened, which proved that the careful work did not find any abnormality, otherwise the Peach Blossom Fairy would take action if she had no choice.
Yang Shiqi was looking at the Peach Blossom Fairy, and Luo Moniang said: Why did you come to meet on the street?There are fine arts made by hawks and dogs at any time.
Now is not the time to explain the reason, I will only tell you that I have not discovered it in detail just now.
The Peach Blossom Fairy's expression was slightly nervous, but it was not easy to show her agility and calmness, let alone a woman.
She immediately said: I'm going to wait for the arrangement, and you two want to listen to me, and you offend me if you are rude.When I ask you to get off the sedan chair, you can follow me and move quickly. Then follow me closely, and the sedan chair will continue to move forward... This child?
Luo Mo Niang said: It was agreed that the day after sending the signal, you will take action today and agreed to let me stay in my father's sedan chair.So we brought this child with us. He is the only son of Wang Yue, who is in charge of the affairs. If the affairs manager wants to stay and stabilize the aftermath, we may be implicated, so we entrust our only son to...
OK, take the kids with you.The Taohua Fairy interrupted her explanation and said to the child, "You can't cry or make a fuss, listen to Sister Luo's words."
The child was only a few years old, but his expression was different from that of ordinary people. He nodded with his eyes wide open and his sensible eyes.
The Peach Blossom Fairy took a deep breath, closed her eyes for a moment, then exhaled a long breath, and said: I hope I will be lucky and there will be no mistakes.
That sentence is indeed slandering, because of Taizong's preference and Zhu Zhanji can be regarded as an emperor with extensive knowledge and ability, but he is indeed a young emperor in his thirties, and he is used to being pampered and elegant, so he still has some youthful and arrogant mentality; so someone blatantly despises him, and the shame of failures has been pressed down on his heart, and it is inevitable that he will suddenly get angry, which is normal.
