The first navigator of the Ming Dynasty

"Is there any change over there

King Yan?" "Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guard of Beiping City has returned, and King Yan has no change for the time being.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Song Zhong again: "Is there a hidden

pile of Jinyiwei in the Yanwang Mansion?" "Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei hidden pile in the Yanwang Mansion died when he followed the Northern Expedition of the Yanwang, and there is no Jinyiwei hidden pile in the Yanwang Mansion at present. Song Zhong clasped his fists and saluted, and replied truthfully.

In the thirtieth year of Hongwu (1397), Song Zhong resumed the position of commander of Jinyiwei.

It is now March of the 31st year of Hongwu (1398), and the king of Jin, Zhu Yu, died of illness two days ago.

"Send a credible person to the Yan King's Mansion to keep an eye on me. "

Your Majesty, there are two of the ministers' subordinates who are very familiar with Beiping. Among them, Zheng Hai used to be a guard of the Yan Palace, why don't you send him

?" "What about the other person?" Zhu Yuanzhang touched his beard and thought.

Song Zhong replied: "There is another person named Ge Cheng, who was once the envoy of Beiping, and he was also the long history of the Qin Wangfu and the Hunan Wangfu. In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, he resigned and went home to keep filial piety, and it has been three years since then. "

Summoning Ge Cheng back, I want him to go to Beiping and become the governor of the Yan Palace. "

Yes, Your Majesty!"

Five days later, a new face was ushered in in the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town.

Zheng Hai walked into the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen, walked through the winding corridor, and entered the door of the Jinyi Guard's commanding envoy.

This room used to be Jiang Xuan's room, and it was the residence of every Jinyi Guard's commander. The decoration here follows the identity of the director, changing again and again.

Zheng Hai remembers that when he first walked into this room, the decoration was very simple, with only a few calligraphy and paintings and a few potted plants.

Later, the Lanyu case broke out, and Jiang Zhen revitalized the Jinyi Guard, which became extremely luxurious, with all kinds of treasures on display. It wasn't until Jiang Zhen was secretly executed by Zhu Yuanzhang that all kinds of rare treasures here were confiscated by the Inspectorate, and the previous simplicity was restored.

When he was acting as the commander, Zheng Hai did not change the style of decoration here, and now that Song Zhongguan has been reinstated, he has redecorated it to his own liking.

Song Zhong did not love calligraphy and painting, and the calligraphy and painting were taken down, and there were bows and arrows hanging on one wall, and deer antlers cut off during hunting on the other wall.

"Zheng Hai, you're here!" Song Zhong walked into the room and saw Zheng Hai looking around at the objects in the room, "I called you here today to introduce you to a secret person of our Jinyi Guard."

Zheng Hai turned to look at Song Zhong who walked in at the door, and Song Zhong walked in with an old man of about fifty years old, dressed in green cloth and straight, like a Confucian student.

"It's you!" Zheng

Hai and the old man said in unison, both staring at each other.

"You two know each other?" Song Zhong looked at Zheng Hai and the old man.

"Acquaintance!" Zheng

Hai and the old man said in unison again.

"His name is Ge Xin.

"His name is Zheng Hai, old man, and he is impressed

!" "Oh, I forgot, you guys have dealt with each other in Beiping!" Song Zhong smiled, remembering what happened to the two of them in Beiping.

"Commander Song, you are right! When the old man was appointed as the envoy of the inspector in Beiping, he was the first prisoner to be tried independently! He was the murderer Zheng Hai, but I didn't expect that he was also a Jinyi guard!" Ge

Cheng flicked his sleeves and sat down opposite Zheng Hai, his eyes fixed on Zheng Hai.

Zheng Hai smiled at Ge Cheng and did not speak.

He had read Ge Cheng's information, but when he saw Ge Cheng himself, he was still a little surprised.

It turned out that Ge Cheng was the Ge Xin who tried him in Beiping, Ge San's uncle, and the Jinyi Wei spy lurking in the Qin Palace.

There is another point, that is, this Ge Xin will also be the long history of Yanwangfu.

"My nephew Ge San, did you kill him?" Ge Cheng stared at Zheng Hai fiercely.

Zheng Hai's face was calm, he looked directly into Ge Cheng's eyes, and replied: "Ge Changshi, you misunderstood, I didn't kill Ge San." The man who killed your nephew was the guard Lu Xing.

"You're lying!" Ge

Cheng looked angry, his eyes staring at Zheng Hai's face, "I've inquired a long time ago. was arrested together among the guards of the Fusi of Beizhen, you are the only one alive, you must have killed my nephew!"

"I really didn't lie to you, your nephew Ge San was indeed killed by the guard Lu Xing." If you don't believe me, you can ask Commander Song, who was also in prison with Commander Jiang at that time.

Zheng Hai looked at Song Zhong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was sitting on the first seat.

Song Zhong nodded to Ge Cheng and said, "Zheng Hai is right, Ge San was indeed killed by Lu Xing.

Ge Cheng listened to Song Zhong's words and didn't say anything, just snorted coldly at Zheng Hai and stopped looking at Zheng Hai.

Zheng Hai looked at Ge Cheng's silent appearance and sighed secretly.

It seems that this black cauldron is set on his back, and he doesn't believe my words.

But so what

! Originally, if Lu Xing hadn't given Ge San a fatal knife in the back, then I would have killed Ge San, who told him to want to kill me!

Besides, Ge Cheng and I are not all the way, so why care about this...

"Lord Commander, the old man is reluctant to go to Beiping with this person, you better find someone else!" Ge Cheng didn't know why, he suddenly lost his temper and was unwilling to go to Beiping.

Song Zhong glared at Zheng Hai, turned his head to look at Ge Cheng, and said with a smile: "Ge Changshi, don't worry, the person who escorted you to Beiping, I will send someone else." Don't worry about this!"

As long as he is not with him, the old man is willing to go to Beiping.

After speaking, Ge Cheng glanced at Zheng Hai with an unhappy expression.

Song Zhong nodded, took out a letter from his sleeve, and said to Ge Cheng: "You went to the Yan Wang's Mansion to be the chief historian, and Your Majesty has a secret letter asking you to pass it on to the Yan King."

Ge Cheng respectfully accepted the secret letter, put it in his arms, and said with his fists clenched: "Please rest assured that Your Majesty and the commander will definitely transfer it to King Yan."

Zheng Hai glanced at the letter just now, but didn't see anything special.

Perhaps, this letter is an opportunity to change the fate of King Yan.

It seems that I have to think

of a way too, how can I go north and join the king of Yan? Oh, if there is no conflict with Gecheng, maybe I can go north with him, but it's a pity!

Zheng Hai missed the opportunity to go north with Shi Gecheng, the governor of the Yanwang Mansion, and stayed in Yingtianfu to continue to serve as a thousand households of Jinyiwei.

More than half a month later, in early April, Katsuragi arrived in Beiping.

He entered the palace of King Yan and handed over Zhu Yuanzhang's secret letter to Zhu Di, King of Yan.

"Lord, what did Your Majesty say in the letter?"

After seeing Changshi leave, Princess Xu asked Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

Yan Wang Zhu Di's face was slightly fat, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his expression was serious.

Zhu Di finished reading the letter and handed it to Princess Xu: "You help this king take a look, my father doesn't seem to be at ease with me." Could it be that there is really something wrong with the death of

the second brother and the third brother?" Princess Xu took the letter and found that it was an edict, which roughly meant:

"Among all my sons, you are very intelligent, and now your second brother King Qin and third brother King Jin have passed away.

You are the head of all the princes and kings, and it is up to you to defend against foreign enemies and stabilize the inner court.

You have to lead the princes and kings, act when the opportunity arises, and protect the frontier, so that you can live up to my hopes for you.

Princess Xu looked at this edict, looked at Zhu Di, and suggested: "Lord, the concubine thinks that you should find Master Daoyan." "

Hmm. Aifei, you are right!" Zhu Di's confused eyes regained their brilliance, and then said: "This king is going to Qingshou Temple..."

"

Why?" Zhu Di stopped and looked at Princess Xu.

"It should be quiet, not moving.

Zhu Di nodded.

Princess Xu looked at the eunuch on the side: "Ma He, you go and invite your master over!"

"Yes." "
