Daming: From the end of Hongwu

However, Zhen Wu and others rushed into Fengtian Hall immediately.

But under the desolation everywhere, there is no one alive.

Zhen Wu walked out of Fengtian Hall disheartened, and asked his subordinates to sort out the remains of Fengtian Hall. After a while, bodies that had been burned into charcoal and whose faces were indistinguishable were carried out.

Zhang Yu sighed, and went to find some old people in the palace and asked them to come forward and identify them.

After the old people in the palace recognized it for a while.

In the end, a person whose figure was very similar to Zhu Yunqi was selected, suspected to be the current emperor.

Zhen Wu and the others looked at the corpse and remained silent for a long time.

At this moment, there was a rush of horseshoes from the Inner Wulong Bridge. Zhen Wu and others looked back, and it turned out that it was Zhu Di who found Huo Qi and rushed here.

When Zhu Di came close, he got off his horse and looked at Zhen Wu and the others.

Zhen Wu and the others knelt down at Zhu Di with a heavy face, and Zhen Wu said in a mournful voice: "The crime of a humble position deserves death. There is a fire in the palace, and the lowly position and others will not be able to save him. It will harm the emperor... The emperor is trapped in the sea of ​​fire and has no life left."

Zhu Di was shocked, with a sad face.

He asked in a deep voice, "Why is there a fire in the palace?"

"Still investigating, can't make a conclusion, but..."

Zhen Wu raised his head and glanced at Zhu Di, and said, "However, it is possible that the palace accidentally caught fire because of the dry weather."

"fart."

Zhu Di coldly reprimanded: "Go to hell, check it out for me, this matter must be checked for me to get to the bottom of it."

"Yes." Zhen Wu took the order.

Only then did Zhu Di look at the charred corpse, he suddenly howled twice, threw himself on the corpse in three or two steps, and said sadly: "My dear nephew, why don't you wait for fourth uncle? Uncle has come to save you, Uncle Fourth has come, get up and look at Uncle Fourth."

Many people in the field listened to Zhu Di's crying, and felt a little sad for some reason.

Zhen Wu couldn't help but secretly looked at the sky.

He knew that Zhu Di's words had completely defined the matter.

Even if some people try their best to clear the fog and find out the truth, will the truth they get be true?Presumably the truly secret things will only exist in the hearts of some people forever, and will not be revealed for thousands of years.

After Zhu Di cried for a while, he was persuaded by Zhen Wu and others.

At this time, Zhu Di no longer said anything that he would not enter the city for fear of disturbing the emperor, and went straight out of the palace, and found a post station as a palace to live in.

But the whole capital was in chaos.

Zhu Yunwen died.

This confused many people who still had loyalty to Zhu Yunqi.

But at the moment, in a house, several civil servants are sighing here and there. This group of people do not seem to have high official positions. What are they all for? Little talented people.

Counting carefully, there are seven people in total.

These seven people were named: Yang Shiqi, Xie Jin, Hu Guang, Jin Youzi, Huang Huai, Hu Yan, and Zhou Shixiu.

These few people are discussing righteousness and loyalty intensely.

The only person was silent.

It took a long time before Zhou Shixiu understood what the other people meant. He chuckled and said, "I probably understand what you said. Can I understand that before you and I all agreed to die together?" Let go of the words of going to the country together?"

Yang Shiqi and the others looked a little ugly for a while.

Xie Jin said: "It's not easy for me to study hard. Now that the emperor has passed away, why should you and I say loyalty again? What's more, King Yan is also a child of the royal family. We should show our ambitions for the sake of all people in the world, so as to live up to this goal." You can learn by yourself."

Zhou Shixiu didn't speak, but just looked straight at Xie Jin.

Seeing Xie Jin embarrassed all the time, Yang Shiqi had to come out to smooth things over, and Zhou Shixiu took his eyes back.

It's just that Zhou Shixiu didn't say a word after that, even when the group of friends were about to leave and made an appointment to see King Yan tomorrow, Zhou Shixiu still didn't speak.

Yang Shiqi and the others were in turmoil, and no one noticed it, or even if they noticed, no one wanted to point out Zhou Shixiu's strangeness.

Then they dispersed and went home.

After Zhou Shixiu returned home, he thought for a long time and wrote a letter to his friend. Then he dressed neatly and went to Yingtianfu to study. Ge hanged himself.

He felt that there were some things to hold on to.

And his persistence.

He can also spur his group of treacherous friends to make them work hard to be good ministers in the days to come, even for their conscience, and to do their best for all the people in the world.

If you ask for a good minister, you will not become a good minister.

Unlike him, if you seek loyalty, you will get loyalty.

As time passed, the sun was setting, and the warm yellow orange sunset shone through the window in the Zunjing Pavilion, and Zhou Youxiu's reflection fell on the scriptures, reflecting each other.

On this day, various stories were staged in the capital. Some were secretly excited and regarded today as a turning point in life, while others were deeply saddened and regarded today as the end of the world.

But no matter what, when the sun set, the first day of Yan Jun's entry into the city finally came to an end.

On the second day, Zhen Wu had been busy for most of the night. He felt that he had just fallen asleep, so Zhu Di sent someone to call him. Zhen Wu rubbed his eyes speechlessly, washed his face soberly, and hurried to Zhu Di's room. and go.

After seeing Zhu Di, Zhen Wu was a little surprised. Zhu Di's dark circles were thick and dark, and he didn't need to guess to know that Zhu Di must have stayed up all night.

Zhu Di rubbed his eyebrows and said: "Finally, I have time for us to chat, please tell me what happened in the palace yesterday."

Zhen Wu nodded, and then told Zhu Di in detail what he heard, saw, and did after he arrived at the palace yesterday.

After Zhu Di digested it for a long time, he smiled and said: "No wonder someone came to see me last night, and secretly reported to me that Jianwen disguised himself as a monk, set fire to take advantage of the chaos, and came out of the ghost gate."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di saw that Zhen Wu was a little puzzled, and explained: "It's Zheng Ci. They discussed escape with Jianwen in Fengtian Palace yesterday, and watched Jianwen go to the harem after he was shaved, so how could he believe that Fengtian Palace found him?" The dead body belonged to Jianwen, and according to what he said, this group of people who care about Jianwen intends to communicate secretly."

Zheng Ci is also one of the treacherous ministers that Zhu Di flaunts.

Zhen Wu suddenly understood that this person definitely didn't want to go all the way with Jianwen, so he surrendered to Zhu Di at night, but Zheng Ci was a blind cat who met a dead mouse, he didn't know that Zhu Yunqi was really dead, If you are still loyal to Zhu Yunqi, you will have nowhere to go.

Zhu Di rubbed his eyebrows again and said: "At first I was still a little worried, but hearing you say that made me completely relaxed, but you don't want to mention this matter in the future, and you know the seriousness if you think about it, as for what you said That Cao Cheng you mentioned, give it to me, I will train it for a few years before I give it to you, I don’t worry about your little way of training people.”

Zhen Wu naturally had no objection to this, so he nodded directly.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Tell me your opinion."

Zhu Di raised his head and looked at Zhen Wudao: "Since we know about Jianwen pretending to be a monk, you said we are going to announce it directly to the public to stop those people from thinking that Jianwen is still alive, or let them spread it in private?"

Zhen Wu thought for a while, and then said: "If you let me say it, it's better to make mistakes and make mistakes. Let's not say whether it is true or false. It is the most charming. Not only can it avoid the stigma of killing relatives in the history books of later generations, but we can also use this Clean up Jianwen's old ministers, and this incident is enough to test whether those who surrendered to His Highness are really sincere."

Zhu Di thought for a while and nodded, "That's not bad, but what if they use Jianwen's name to make trouble?"

Zhen Wu smiled confidently: "Your Highness is here, I'm waiting, so it doesn't matter what happens, not to mention that even if they use the name of Jianwen, His Highness knows well that no real Jianwen will stand up and call on the world. In this case, Why are you afraid, Your Highness?"

"well said."

Zhu Di was straightened out by Zhen Wu's two or three sentences, and smiled and said: "A fake Jianwen can not only deceive real talented people, but also can't make people gather from all over the world. It is really nothing to be afraid of. , so it is most suitable to sharpen a knife and test its authenticity."

Zhen Wu also smiled.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do, you go down, I guess I have to meet some people." Zhu Di waved his hand.

Zhen Wu nodded and retreated.

After Zhen Wu went out, Yang Jing came out from behind the screen.

He knelt in front of Zhu Di and said, "There is nothing hidden about what the right general said. It was exactly what the right general said at the time. However, after seeing that the right general took over, he secretly set fire to the Fengtian hall to cooperate with the right general. Otherwise, the Fengtian hall would not be able to rise." Such a big fire, but this will always destroy Fengtian Palace, I hope His Highness will not blame the humble post for making his own decisions."

Zhu Di nodded and waved his hand.

A Fengtian Temple?

hum.

Compared with the world, it is not worth mentioning.

And Zhen Wu had already come outside at this time.

He had just arrived here when he saw a group of scholars and guards arguing about something, Zhen Wu frowned and asked, "What are you arguing about?"

When the guard saw that it was Zhen Wu, he straightened up quickly, and facing Zhen Wu, he said solemnly, "General You, this group of people insists on going in to see His Highness, but His Highness has been up all night, so our Qianhu asked us to stop him." The people who are visiting, let them come back in the afternoon, but they don't listen, insisting on letting me go to report."

As soon as the words fell, the group of scholars became unhappy: "But I just saw that you informed Xia Shilang of the household department, why didn't you inform us."

The guard glanced at them, and said angrily: "What is the official position of Xia Shilang, what is your official position?"

The man was speechless immediately.

Zhen Wu became interested, and said with a smile, "Tell me about your official position?"

The man twitched for a long time, and choked out a sentence: "I was once awarded the position of 'Deputy Trial Officer of the Wu Mansion'."

Zhen Wu was stunned.

What kind of bullshit official position is this.

He has been in Daming for a long time, and he has never heard of it.

Afterwards, Zhen Wu waved his hand, wanting to leave with less interest, but just when he turned around and was about to leave, he heard one of the group call out to him: "Brother Shi Qi, there is no need to be sad. The official voice is not obvious, but who dares to say that he will not enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister in the future."

Ok?

Regardless of other people's reactions, Zhen Wu immediately turned around and asked, "What's your name?"

The man looked at Zhen Wu, he didn't understand why Zhen Wu was interested in his name, but he also knew that Zhen Wu's status was good, so he said in detail: "My name is Yang Yu, and my name is Shiqi, from Ji'an Mansion..."

"Wait, that's enough." Zhen Wu interrupted him, looking at Yang Shiqi with interest.

But I couldn't help thinking about it in my heart.

So this is Yang Shiqi.

……

Chapter 317 - Persuasion, Cleansing, New Emperor

Yang Shiqi's appearance is not outstanding, not only does he not look like a capable minister of later generations, but his body is slightly thin, which makes people feel unusable.

In comparison, there are a few people behind him with extraordinary looks, and people feel that they are very reliable when they take a look at them.

Zhen Wu found this very interesting.

This world really is not human.

No matter how a person looks, it will not affect his exploration and learning of the world.

"Want to go in?" Zhen Wu asked.

Yang Shiqi was a little surprised, he didn't understand why Zhen Wu wanted to help when he heard his name, but the next moment his heart still couldn't help but get hot.

Who doesn't know that King Yan is currently employing people, the sooner he sees King Yan, the greater the reward will be, which will naturally double the attraction to Yang Shiqi and others who have not made a fortune.

Especially now is the time when the situation is changing, if he can get the help of a noble person, how can Yang Shiqi refuse such a beautiful thing.

He nodded repeatedly, expressing to Zhen Wu his wish to go in.

At this time, a person behind Yang Shiqi suddenly said in surprise: "I remembered, you... you are Zhen Junma?!"

Zhen Wu turned his head with interest and asked, "Do you know me?"

The man shook his head like a rattle, and smiled flatteringly: "Although I don't know him, everyone in the world knows that Zhenjun Ma is unparalleled in courage, invincible, and the number one ever-victorious general under King Yan."

This made Zhen Wu laugh out loud.

"What's your name again?"

"Xie Jin." The man said.

Zhen Wu was taken aback again, he didn't expect this to be a celebrity too!He took a careful look, then took a look at the group of people, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll take you in to meet His Highness, but whether His Highness values ​​you all depends on you. You can learn from the real talent, you can understand this.”

Xie Jin said proudly: "Jun Junma only needs to take us in. If we talk about real talents and learning, I think I will be no worse than anyone else."

Yang Shiqi and the others had expressions of approval.

People who think of themselves as extraordinary are such bad virtues.

Zhen Wu was not surprised, and then he didn't say anything more, and led the people inside.

But when Zhen Wu had just walked a few steps, he heard Xie Jin taunting him in a low voice behind him. The guard who stopped him just now said, "Hey, dogs look down on people, so we're going in."

The guard's face turned red, but fortunately, he was of excellent quality, and gave way without any excuse.

Zhen Wu frowned slightly.
