The first navigator of the Ming Dynasty

At the end of March of the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu (1395 AD), news came from Xi'an, Shaanxi: King Zhu 樉 (shuǎng) 薨 (hōnɡ).

When he heard the news of King Qin's death, Zheng Hai was on duty in Fusi, Beizhen.

Although he is only a hundred households, he is equivalent to the existence of the Zhenfu envoy in the Beizhen Fusi, and almost all the confidential information about Jinyiwei was presented to Zhu Yuanzhang through his hand.

After Jiang Zheng's death, Song Zhong served as the commander of the Jinyi Guard. And after Song Zhong was impeached by the imperial history and transferred to the command of Fengyang Zhongwei, the position of commander of Jinyi Wei was vacant.

There was no pacification envoy in the Northern Town, and Zheng Hai, who was a hundred households, had higher authority than the other thousand households, and actually acted as an acting commander.

There are two reasons for this: first, Zheng Hai is trusted by the two commanders, and more importantly, he is trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang; second, no one in the Jinyi Guards is willing to act as this temporary acting commander.

There are many reasons why the thousands of households are reluctant to act as acting commanders, and the main reason is to shoot the first bird.

After the Lanyu case, the former commander Jiang Zhen was given to death.

Under the pressure of civil and military officials, Song Zhongdu, who was connected to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was forced to transfer out of Yingtianfu.

Thousands of households are all old fritters, and in this limelight, they naturally won't act as this substitute ghost.

If someone can be a shield, everyone is happy.

In this way, the thousands of households sent the hundred households Zheng Hai up.

"Brother Zheng, have you come to check the information again?" Feng

Zhiyuan, the general banner of Jinyi Wei, saw Zheng Hai coming, greeted him, and said hello.

Feng Zhiyuan is usually responsible for guarding the secret file building, reading books when he has nothing to do, and his task is to secretly spy on some important people.

Zheng Hai hugged his fists and said, "Brother Feng, I'm going to bother you again."

"Brother Zheng is so polite! Your current status is much higher than mine, and it is my business. Please!"

Zheng Hai walked into Jinyiwei's secret file building.

General Banner Feng Zhiyuan helped him get a secret file, which was the secret information collected by Jinyiwei about Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin: Zhu

Fan was the emperor's second son, born to Empress Ma.

Born in November of the sixteenth year of Yuan Zhizheng (1356), he was crowned King of Qin in the third year of Hongwu (1370).

On the fourth day of the fifth month of the eleventh year of Hongwu (1378), Zhu Fan became a vassal of Xi'an.

In the twenty-second year of Hongwu (1389), Zhu Fan served as the commander of the sect.

In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu (1391), Zhu Fan was called back to Tianfu by the emperor because of too many mistakes.

In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu (1392), the crown prince Zhu Biaoxu and Zhu Fan returned to the fiefdom. Changshi Gecheng and Zhu Fan returned to Xi'an Mansion together...

"Gecheng

?" Looking at the archival information recorded in the booklet in his hand, Zheng Hai couldn't help but mutter: "Where do you seem to have heard of this name?"

After pondering for a moment, Zheng Hai suddenly remembered

: "The Battle of Jingjing, the long history of the Yan Wangfu, Gecheng!" Looking at this information again, Zheng Hai felt a little more confused in his heart: "Isn't this Gecheng the long history of the Yan Wangfu? Why, he used to be the long history of the Qin Wangfu? This guy doesn't seem to be simple!".

Zheng Hai continued to read backwards, and there was a lot of information about Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, most of which told about Zhu Zhang's crimes.

Zhu Fan is burly, but he does many evil things and is extravagant, and has been admonished by Zhu Yuanzhang many times. In the past, if it wasn't for the protection of the crown prince Zhu Biao, maybe Lao Zhu would have abolished this King of Qin.

Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, committed many crimes, including oppressing the people in the domain, building a large number of buildings, building palaces in violation of regulations, and torturing and abusing palace people in his palace.

He married two concubines. The main concubine is the sister of Wang Baobao, the king of Yuanqi, and is the slave of Wang Guanyin, and the second concubine is the daughter of Deng Yu, the king of Ninghe County, and the Deng family.

The second concubine was reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang for jealousy and hanged herself, but Zhu Fan did not listen to Zhu Yuanzhang's reprimand, imprisoned the concubine, and often committed adultery with her subordinates in the palace, abusing and killing palace people.

Zheng Hai turned to the end of the secret file, which recorded that in the first month of the 28th year of Hongwu, Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, was ordered to lead an army to conquer the rebellious barbarians in Gansu.

Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, gained a lot from this expedition, and the rebellious barbarians finally surrendered, so he received a large number of rewards from Zhu Yuanzhang.

These materials are all the information about Zhu Fan obtained by Zheng Hai by checking the secret files of Jinyi Wei, as for the death of Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, only the news of his death from the outside world came from the outside world.

This news is also reflected in Jinyiwei's secret file, which says: Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, rebelled against the rebellion of Tao (táo), and while marching and camping in the wilderness, he fell ill with miasma.

About a month ago, Zhu Yuanzhang received a secret spy report from Xi'an Prefecture.

Less than a month later, Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, died.

Zheng Hai expressed doubts about the cause of death: "Death of illness? This is a bit too coincidental!"

Although Zheng Hai did not see the spy report, he believed that it must be about the King of Qin. Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would not be so angry.

Zheng Hai suspected that the death of the King of Qin was related to Lao Zhu.

However, he was not sure, after all, Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, was Lao Zhu's biological son.

Even if Lao Zhu is a ruthless person, he is not so ruthless, right?

Zheng Hai couldn't believe it.

Therefore, he came to the Jinyi Wei Secret File Building to find the answer.

Zheng Hai looked at Feng Zhiyuan, the general banner not far away, and ordered: "Feng Zhiyuan, you can find me another secret file." "

Yes! Zheng Baihu. Feng Zhiyuan saw that Zheng Hai's expression and tone were different from the usual, and he also changed his usual lazy attitude: "Excuse me, which person does Zheng Baihu need..."

Zheng Hai thought for a while, and then added: "Shi Gecheng, the head of the Qin Palace."

Feng Zhiyuan walked back and forth between the file shelves in the secret file building, and he didn't find it for a long time.

In the end, Feng Zhiyuan made a bitter face, walked to Zheng Hai's side and said, "Zheng Baihu, my subordinates have not found any information about Gecheng.

Zheng Hai was also very surprised: "Aren't you specialized in managing archives? Why can't you even find it?" Feng

Zhiyuan replied with a bitter face: "My subordinates have checked all the information files related to the long history, but they haven't found this person!" Zheng

Hai couldn't believe it, there were still officials who Jinyiwei couldn't investigate?

Wang Mansion Changshi was an official of Zhengwupin, and it stands to reason that Jinyiwei should not have no relevant information.

At the beginning, Zheng Hai entered the Jinyi Wei Secret File Building for the first time, and at that time he was a small flag official from the seventh grade. He can find his own data file, and it is impossible for Jin Yiwei to miss the data file of an official of the fifth grade.

Just as Zheng Hai was pondering, Feng Zhiyuan on the side slapped his thigh and shouted, "I know! There is another possibility, that is, his file belongs to the secret of Jinyiwei and is placed on another shelf."

Zheng Hai glanced at Feng Zhiyuan, and Feng Zhiyuan had an excited look on his face.

"Brother Zheng, you can't blame me for this, if it was a secret that he belonged to Jinyiwei, then it wouldn't be placed on an ordinary shelf..."Feng

Zhiyuan looked at Zheng Hai and frowned: "This kind of file is not authorized by ordinary people to extract..."

, "Can't I read it either?" Zheng Hai looked at Feng Zhiyuan.

"This... This, logically speaking, you are now theoretically the head of Jinyiwei," Feng Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and said: "I think, you should be able to read it! I'll get it for you!" After

a while, Feng Zhiyuan walked to Zheng Hai's side with a booklet in both hands, and said excitedly: "Sure enough! This person actually belongs to Jinyiwei's secrets, no wonder I can't find it!" Zheng Hai opened Jinyiwei's booklet

, and on the first page, he saw a shocking news:

" Gecheng, formerly known as Xin, the word Chengzhi, a native of Renshou Township, a secret agent of Jinyi Wei..."
