Father can be an enemy to the country

In prison.

After pouring a basin of cold water on his head, Boyan slowly woke up. After focusing his eyes for a long time, he saw the thin middle-aged official with a falcon-like face sitting behind the desk opposite.

"What's your name?!" the official asked in a deep voice.

"..." Boyan stared at him with a blank look on his face, as if he couldn't understand Chinese.

Another Mongolian wearing Ming Dynasty official uniform asked again in Mongolian.

"Bo Yan." He replied.

"You don't understand Chinese?" the Mongolian asked in a deep voice.

"I don't understand." Boyan shook his head.

"Then someone called Feng Ji's name behind you, why did you turn around?" the Han official asked through the Mongolian.

"I turned back when I heard some noise." Boyan replied.

"Then why are you running?" the official asked coldly.

"When I saw they were trying to arrest me, I was so scared that I ran away." Boyan said plausibly.

"Haha, do you think your cover-up was perfect? ​​There's nothing we can do to you?" The official smiled sarcastically and said, "But I'm sorry, your master has betrayed you. Do you know who identified you?"

"..." Boyan froze for a long time, then asked with some difficulty: "Who?"

"Togu Si Timur." The official said one word at a time.

"Ah?!" Boyan felt like he was struck by lightning.

"Do you need him to testify against you on the spot?" the officer asked.

"No need." Boyan spoke in Chinese this time, and it was standard Mandarin.

"It seems you know what happened." The official said calmly.

"Yes, Lord Yuan sold me. I have been hiding for seven years, but I still can't hide anymore." Boyan nodded dejectedly.

"Then let's get acquainted again." The official showed a cold smile and said: "My officer, Wu Yong, is on the left of the Interrogation Division."

"Interrogation Department? Never heard of it. Is it a newly established yamen?" Boyan exhaled a long breath and said: "My name is Feng Ji. I was originally a Mongolian. Later, my army was defeated by the Jinshang Rebel Army. After being defeated, he surrendered and later became the guard of Qianhu in the residence of Prime Minister Hu Weiyong."

"Then why did you go to the Royal Court of Beiyuan again and hide your name?" Wu Yong asked in a deep voice.

"It was the thirteenth year of Hongwu. I had a good relationship with Chunxiang, the maid of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I was caught in the middle of a tryst and brought before Prime Minister Hu. Prime Minister Hu then said, 'You deserve to die now. If you go to the north, you will die.' I will spare you and make Chunxiang your concubine."

"Prime Minister Hu then sent an envoy to take me to the Geng Command in Ningxia. Commander Geng sent Qianhu Zhang Lin and Zhenfu Zhang Hu to transfer me to the Yiji Nai ground, and then I was sent to the Harazhang Manzi by the Tatars. Ask them to forward the letter to the Yuan Lord and tell him in detail the news about Prime Minister Hu."

"What are you talking about?" Wu Yong asked again.

"The prime minister said, 'Please ask the Yuan Lord to send troops to harass the border. I'll tell you to send out the troops and horses from the capital, so that I can do things inside. After the matter is completed, we will use the Yellow River as the boundary and share the world.'" Feng Ji replied: "The result is that the Yuan Lord has not yet I agreed, and the news came that Hu Xiang was exposed, so I stayed there, hiding my name, and thought about the rest of my life. "

He said with a self-deprecating smile: "Who knew that Skynet would not miss anything, but it would still be impossible to escape this day."

Wu Yong was not in the mood to accompany him with his emotion, and said coldly: "Write down all the people mentioned in the letter, the Ming officers who helped you go to the grassland, and Hu Weiyong's accomplices you know. No one is allowed." Omission."

He paused and said, "Otherwise, we will inevitably suffer physical pain!"

"It's been too long, I can't remember some of them..." Feng Ji wrote down a few names, but couldn't continue. Those names were too scary, and he was afraid that something might happen to his relatives in Ming Dynasty because of them.

"It's really itchy." Wu Yong laughed ferociously, waved his hand and said, "Torture!"

The officer then picked up the water-soaked leather whip and began to whip it violently.

At the same time, there was a lot of traffic outside the gate of Dingyuan Hou Mansion, and there were lanterns and colorful decorations inside the gate, and there were so many guests, it was all joyful.

Today is the big day when the national railway coupons are officially awarded. Naturally, the princes, nobles, high-ranking civil and military officials in Beijing will come to congratulate. Although the iron certificates of Liang Guogong and Ying Guogong were also awarded at the same time, diverting many guests, the largest number of guests came here. A total of eighty tables were set up.

The reason is very simple. Not only Zhu Zhen's family, but also the King of Qin, King Jin, King Zhou, King Zhou, King Shu and King Xiang all came to Dingyuan Hou Mansion to watch the ceremony. Now many distinguished officials could only send a generous gift to each of the other two places, and then come to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to congratulate them.

As soon as the chen hour arrived, Eunuch Wu arrived at Dingyuan Hou Mansion on time with the iron coupon.

Wang Bi quickly asked Eunuch Wu to come to the incense table that had been set up long ago, and then led the whole family to kneel down to receive the iron coupons.

After a series of lengthy ceremonies, Eunuch Wu was seen holding out an iron coupon one foot high, one foot six inches wide and shaped like a tile from a jade box. This is also the largest iron coupon. It is filled with gold characters and passed down from generation to generation, so it is also called the Golden Book World Certificate.

Then I heard Eunuch Wu reciting the golden words on the iron certificate loudly:

"The imperial edict says: To bring peace and tranquility to the people, Zhao Xi and Long Xing will be assisted; to be rewarded with honors and titles, and to be granted the title of Mansion; and to worship him. You will be sent to Wang Bi, the marquis of Yuan Dynasty, to cross the river with his own staff, and to be the deputy commander. He is the most heroic warrior among all the people. Clear out the lakes, Hunan, Fujian and Zhejiang; loyalty is inherently impersonal, flatten the quiet Henan, Yan and Qin; conquer the south of Yunnan, first open the dragon's tail pass; the Han River declares its power and sweeps away the sea of ​​fish."

"Today has been decided, and the people of Li are in peace. We will reward you for your merits, hold a grand ceremony, and grant you the title of Duke of Ding. You will be granted the title of Duke of Ding, with a salary of four thousand stones, and will be hereditary as the Marquis of Dingyuan. If you commit a crime, you will be exempted from two deaths, and your son will be exempted from one death. In return for your merits, I wish you peace with the country. I will always be a treasure to you, and I will abide by the solid foundation of Jintang. I will continue to write this for you."

"Your Majesty, Wang Bi, is afraid to accept the coupon!" Wang Bi burst into tears, took the iron coupon with both hands, and shouted towards the incense table: "The emperor's grace is as great as the sky! I have been torn to pieces for the Ming Dynasty for generations, but I can't repay it!"

"Congratulations to Duke Dingguo, please get up quickly." Eunuch Wu helped Wang Bi up with a smile on his face and said jokingly: "My family congratulates you."

Eunuch Wu even prepared a gift list. When did you see the eunuch giving people money when delivering the edict? He really made me cry to death...

Although the reward given by Wang Bi must be many times more than his.

"Oh, father-in-law, I can't do it. Father-in-law, please come and take a seat." Wang Bi quickly placed the iron coupon on the incense table, and then took Eunuch Wu to the table.

"Then I'll shamelessly ask you for a drink." Eunuch Wu smiled and greeted all the princes, then took his seat happily.

"Come," Zhu Zhen raised his wine glass with a smile and said to the guests, "Let's toast Duke Ding first!"

"Congratulations to Duke Dingguo!" All the guests toasted to Wang Bi together.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you all!" Wang Bi drank the wine with tears in his eyes.

Amidst the crackling firecrackers, the servant carefully removed the plaque of 'Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion' and replaced it with a larger and more imposing plaque - 'Dingguo Mansion'!
