Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

"This is the Prince Consort's Mansion, don't you want to live?"

"I'm carrying out an errand, and anyone who dares to stop me will be killed without mercy!"

Wang Yu and Wang Shouren took the Holy Edict and forced their way into the Prince Consort's Mansion. When faced with the servants who wanted to stop them, they coldly stated their intentions.

It was okay to frighten the common people with the name Prince Consort, but in the end, they did not have the guts to forcibly stop the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate's Inspection Office who came with the imperial edict.

If they hadn't taken into account that the Princess of Chongqing and the Prince Consort were royal relatives, it would have been a piece of cake for them to force their way into the Prince Consort's Mansion.

Wang Shouren chose to accompany him. Because of his restless temperament, he seemed very excited about this kind of thing. After entering the Prince Consort's Mansion, he led several people to search for Yang Han's traces.

Bang...

Crackling...

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped……

…

In the process of checking, it is natural that some bumps and bumps will inevitably occur.

First, a vase broke into pieces, then there were weird whips, masks, candles, etc. in the princess's room. Finally, some experienced inspectors knocked on the brick wall.

It's just that professionals may not always be able to succeed, and the results of the search were very unsatisfactory. They never found Yang Han from the beginning to the end.

No!

Neither do I!

It seems like the person has run away!

…

The people in the inspection hall were divided into five teams and searched almost the entire Prince Consort's residence, but they were unable to find Yang Han.

Faced with a search that yielded nothing, Wang Yu and Wang Hua were suddenly dumbfounded.

If such a large-scale search of the Prince Consort's Mansion fails to find the person, not to mention that the case cannot be advanced, and there is no way to explain it to the emperor.

As soon as I thought about it, the excitement just now disappeared and was replaced by worry and fear.

"Who gave you the courage to search the Prince Consort's Mansion? Don't you even want to live?" Princess Chongqing came back after hearing the news and loudly accused Wang Yu and Wang Shouren.

this……

Wang Shouren and Wang Yu looked at each other, knowing that this time they seemed to be cheating.

At this time, a large group of Jinyi guards suddenly broke out, led by three Jinyi Qianhu who looked very similar, but they immediately surrounded Wang Shouren and Wang Yu.

Everyone in the inspection hall looked at each other in shock, realizing that they had really stirred up a hornet's nest this time, with so many Jin Yiwei coming.

"Zhou Xian, Zhou Zhong, Zhou Xiao, let them take a good look at the power of our Prince Consort's Mansion and beat them all out!" Princess Chongqing ordered immediately when she saw her three sons appearing.

Wang Shouren didn't expect Princess Chongqing to be so arrogant, so he immediately took out the token and said, "Who dares? This Qianhu is ordered to search the Prince Consort's Mansion, are you trying to rebel?"

this……

Zhou Xian, Zhou Zhong and Zhou Xiao saw the token in Wang Yu's hand and stopped in unison.

Although they are dignified Qianhu or deputy Qianhu, and they have the support of the princess mother behind them, they are still seeing an oracle from the emperor.

At this moment, a maid came in a hurry and whispered something into the princess's ear.

Princess Chongyang suddenly became furious. She pointed at Wang Yu and Wang Shouren and angrily ordered: "A group of robbers and bandits dare to break my master's vase. Come and beat them out. I will be responsible for everything!"

Although this approach is somewhat inappropriate, I am the emperor's aunt after all. Now that the searchers have made mistakes, I can naturally beat them out.

Zhou Xian, Zhou Zhong and Zhou Xiao were all middle-level members of Jinyiwei. Now Jinyiwei was also hostile to the newly established search office and immediately took advantage of the strength of their numbers to prepare for action.

Wang Shouren didn't expect this princess to be so arrogant and domineering, so he still held up the token in his hand and ordered: "Here is the token, everyone kneel down for me!"

this……

When Zhou Xian, Zhou Zhong and Zhou Xiao saw the lit up tokens, they immediately looked at each other, but they knew that they would bear great responsibility if they really disobeyed the holy will.

"Don't use tokens to scare me! You said that the Prince Consort's Mansion is harboring imperial convicts, but you have searched this house, but have you found any convicts?" Princess Chongyang asked seriously, believing that her identity was extraordinary.

this……

Wang Shouren and Wang Yu looked at each other. This was indeed a big problem.

Although they had climbed the wall earlier and saw Yang Han himself in this house, there had just been a movement of personnel in the Prince Consort's Mansion, so maybe Yang Han had already left here.

Once there is a major conflict and no one is caught on his side, the emperor may slap them both on the butt.

Wang Shouren's mind was spinning, and he suddenly realized something: "The more arrogant and domineering you are, the more it proves that you are guilty. Yang Han must still be hiding in this house! Come here, search it again, and if you dare to hurt you, we will make a plan." Countermeasures!" After a pause, he looked at the group of royal guards brought by the three Zhou brothers: "You are the emperor's personal guards, and now the emperor wants to search this house, do you want to stop it or help?"

"This is a humble position for your lord to dispatch!" Several Jin Yiwei exchanged glances and immediately expressed their opinions one after another.

you……

Zhou Xian, Zhou Zhong and Zhou Xiao were furious when they saw most of the Jin Yiwei defecting.

It's just that they all asked for it. Although the Jinyiwei has been occupied by various related households in the middle and upper-level positions, the Jinyiwei at the bottom have been passed down from generation to generation, so they still maintain a high degree of loyalty.

Wang Shouren was indeed a smart man, but he knew that these Jinyi guards could take advantage of him.

Princess Chongyang looked at the development of the situation and was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Originally, he wanted his son to bring Jin Yiwei to drive the people out, but his little idea was exposed, and now he has added more manpower for the other party.

ah?

Suddenly a screaming voice sounded from the east, and then a man covered in feces ran out of the hut. There were two maggots squirming on his face, and his whole face looked very ferocious.

"It's him, he's Yang Han!" A soldier pinched his nose and said when he saw the man running out.

Wow……

When Princess Chongyang saw this scene, her stomach suddenly turned upside down, she turned around and held on to the pillar and vomited out.

Yang Han found that the Maokeng was indeed a good hiding place, but Naihe overestimated his ability to endure, and did not expect that this group of people would be entangled for so long, so he waved the sharp weapon in his hand and threatened: "Get out of the way, otherwise you will be killed." I die!"

When everyone who searched saw that Yang Han was covered in feces and there were maggots squirming on his body, they all pinched their noses and chose to dodge.

Bang!

Yang Han waved the knife in his hand and thrust it forward, but his hand was too slippery and the knife suddenly flew out.

Wang Shouren and Wang Yu looked at each other, and then pounced on Yang Han in unison.

It’s over!

Princess Chongqing, who had just finished vomiting, saw Yang Han being arrested, her head suddenly buzzed, and she slumped to the ground helplessly, looking forward blankly.

Wang Shouren and Wang Yu captured Yang Han who was looking for him, but when they saw Yang Han tied up, they were not happy at all.

Inevitably, I got some feces on my body, and even I felt disgusted with myself.

As the news of Yang Han's capture here spread to the palace, Zhu Youtang immediately sent Wang Xiang to chase Zhu Ji back.

Since there was no basis at all before, he could only watch Zhu Ji leave. But now that Yang Han, who has been working with Zhu Jihang, has been caught, and Zhu Ji has serious suspicions, he can naturally manipulate Zhu Ji openly.

As night falls, the whole city of Beijing feels like it has exploded.

There was a lot of commotion about the Metropolitan Procuratorate's search of the Prince Consort's Mansion, and there were a large number of people from the Procuratorate and the Royal Guards to witness everything, so the whole thing had spread throughout the capital.

No one could have imagined that Yang Han, a member of the Imperial Guard who had been wanted by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was hiding in the capital, and moreover in the Prince Consort's Mansion.

Now that Yang Han has found it, the Prince Consort's Mansion cannot escape at least the label of harboring imperial criminals, so the Prince Consort's Mansion that everyone envied has become in danger.

But the thing that worries everyone the most is the progress of the entire case. After all, the target has always been pointed at corrupt officials. This time, it is rare to point at Jin Yiwei.

"I thought Zhu Ji was a good official, but in the end I couldn't help but investigate!"

"Jinyiwei really committed a crime. If His Majesty hadn't taken action, who would have dared to investigate Zhu Ji?"

"This time is not caused by corruption. It is said to be related to the formation of a party within the Jinyiwei system to frame the minister!"

"I have also heard about this. People within Jinyiwei want to create a fraud case in the examination to bring down Wang Yue, who has just returned to Beijing!"

"The dignified commander of the Jinyi Guards actually wants to frame an important official of the imperial court, and he is also a hero who has made military exploits for the Ming Dynasty. It is really not a pity to die!"

…

Although many things are secret to ordinary people, the current scholar group is very well-informed, so they also know a lot of inside information, and they have criticized Zhu Ji and others.

A waning moon hangs high, and the lights of Qianqing Palace are bright.

No matter how bustling the outside world is, it always seems very quiet here, and the layout of this unique courtyard house has a strong royal atmosphere.

After taking a bath and changing clothes, Zhu Youtang went to Dongnuang Pavilion as usual and looked through the information from the three systems of Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Guarding Eunuch to control the important developments of the thirteen provinces in the two capitals.

It's just that the piece of information placed at the top is special. This was after the palace gate was closed, but it was stuffed in through the crack of the palace door by the Jin Yiwei.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea!" Liu Jin said cautiously as he brought the tea over.

Zhu Youtang looked at the information in his hand and suddenly became angry and said: "I just left Beijing, but I couldn't catch up with you. These are just a bunch of losers!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down and don't get so angry!" Liu Jin didn't expect Jin Yiwei to stretch his hips like this, but he comforted her carefully.

Zhu Youtang put down the information in his hand and found that the most reliable one now was the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Before the Jinyiwei thoroughly cleaned a large number of them, they were just useless vases.

At this moment, he even regretted why he sent the Jin Yiwei to pursue him instead of choosing to let the search office of the Metropolitan Procuratorate handle the matter.

Zhu Youtang knew that Zhu Ji could not escape, so he immediately made a new plan and said: "Order the Jin Yiwei to assist the Metropolitan Procuratorate! I don't believe that Zhu Ji can still grow wings. We must capture him within half a month!" "

"According to the decree!" Liu Jin felt the emperor's courage, but knew that the matter was actually still under the control of the emperor, so he said it in a dignified manner.

Zhu Youtang flipped through other information, and there was some good news. For example, after Yang Han, a member of Jinyiwei, was arrested, he quickly admitted that he was under Zhu Ji's instigation.

However, the pursuit of Zhu Ji is very important, and purging the Jinyiwei is also an important step in revitalizing China, but a country cannot be limited to these rats.

The most important thing in the near future is the Chuanlu Ceremony, and then they have to go to Tianshou Mountain in person for the Spring Festival. Finally, Liaodong needs to mobilize troops and generals to conquer the Jianzhou Jurchens.

In fact, some important ministers did not understand the conquest of Jianzhou.

After all, the Jianzhou Jurchens have been beaten down, and there is no harassment in the border areas of Liaodong. Now they can share the blessing of peace with the Jianzhou Jurchens.

As for the tendons of 10,000 wild deer that Zhu Youtang wants, not to mention that they are not very good. If you really need them, you can slowly ask for them from Jianzhou Jurchens, or even buy them with a little money.

Zhu Youtang did not intend to take care of the emotions of the gang leaders and factions, and it was impossible to reveal his true intention of fighting. The defeat of the Jurchens in Jianzhou would be the ultimate goal of the Ming Dynasty this year.

On the seventh day of March, the morning light of the morning sun fell on this majestic palace complex, and the Fengtian Palace, the largest one in the center, shone with a different kind of bright light.

The Chuanlu Ceremony is destined to attract worldwide attention.

Six hundred and one new scholars put on the unified uniforms issued by the Ministry of Rites, including crowns, robes, belts, shoes, etc., and appeared neatly on the steps in front of Fengtian Hall.

In the morning he was a farmer, and in the evening he ascended to the Emperor's Hall!

They all started out as white-clothed men. After going through county examinations, government examinations, hospital examinations, township examinations, general examinations and palace examinations, they finally reached this stage that is coveted by scholars all over the world.

As Emperor Hongzhi arrived, an overwhelming "Long Live" came from the Fengtian Hall.

An official of Honglu Temple read a poem in the palace: "... In the second year of Hongzhi's reign, the imperial examination of Jiyou Branch has ended. His Majesty will test the world's tribute scholars and award the first-class Jinshi, the second-class Jinshi, and the third-class Jinshi together!"

The six hundred and one new scholars could not help but feel nervous as they listened to the voices inside.

Palace music suddenly started playing, and Xu Qiong, the Minister of Rites, came out holding a yellow book, and then said to the 601 tributes kneeling on the steps: "All tributes, listen to the announcement!"

When all the tributes heard this, they immediately raised their voices and looked extremely nervous.

Everyone hopes that they will be hit by the throne of number one, but there are six hundred people besides themselves, but there is not even a two-in-a-thousand chance.
