South of Jinling City, Changganli, Dabao'en Temple.
This building is very large, built in full accordance with the standards of the palace, whether it is the scale of the building or the construction materials and design, it is not inferior to the palace, of course, although the project is so huge, it will not take 19 years, the history of this large-scale temple took 19 years to finally complete, the project is huge on the one hand, on the other hand, it is also because there are not too many workers at once.
After all, the construction of Dabao'en Temple is not something that needs to be completed in a hurry, and it will hurt the vitality of the country if too many laborers are transferred at once and too much labor is occupied.
At this moment, the main building complex of Da Bao En Temple has become a scale, the main hall, the apse several main buildings have been completed, late at night, the construction site that is noisy during the day has been quiet, the construction site is scattered everywhere tomorrow morning to continue to use all kinds of semi-finished stones, wood, except for the night patrol personnel, there is no other visible trace on the construction site.
The workers live in the large courtyard on the periphery of the Bao'en Temple, and there will be a palace and pavilion built here in the future, because the building is expanded from the inside to the outside, and the buildings on the central axis are built first and then expanded to both sides, so here is still a flat land for the time being, and a large area of shacks has been erected, and the workers who have worked hard for a day have already slept, although there are so many people, it is still quiet.
A black shadow quietly sneaked into the Da Bao'en Temple, he didn't seem to be very familiar with this place, he stopped and stopped, looked around, and avoided the workers who patrolled the night from time to time.
This person is Chen Yunan, and Zhu Tu's idea is to create some more trouble for Yang Xu, prompting the wait-and-see officials to intervene as soon as possible and put Yang Xu to death.
Yang Xu's case is too sensitive, a national duke, but he has a relationship with the White Lotus Sect, and no one wants to mess with this kind of case.
The case has been handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to officially start handling, and during this period, even the crown prince Zhu Gaochi has to stay out of the matter.
Chen Ying is not his person, no matter what, he can't find Chen Ying to ask him to be accommodating, and if Yang Xu really can't be saved, he has to get rid of himself as soon as possible, and he must not let himself be implicated, this is the unanimous opinion of all officials of the entire princeling faction, this is a huge power group, it is impossible to bury the interests of the entire group because of any one person, and if necessary, it is an inevitable choice for a strong man to relieve his wrist.
And the second prince's faction, who regarded Yang Xu as a thorn in his side, did not take the opportunity to do anything.
Chen Ying is a veteran of Huan Hai, and his political skills are very clever, he not only has a very clear position on his questioning position, but also warned the second prince in advance not to come forward or mobilize his men to take the opportunity to attack.
As a lonely minister, the only thing he needs to figure out and understand is the emperor's temper and surname, he knows very well that Zhu Di's surname is a donkey, and if you want to push the wall down and attack it, it is likely to be counterproductive.
Moreover, the second prince has just been left in the capital, and he has already stated that he wants to be an idle prince, and the words are still in his ears, and he will immediately go into battle shirtless, what will happen to the emperor And if the emperor is worried about the repetition of the story of the two sons' struggle for succession, it is possible to take the means of harmony and mud to make the case a big deal, isn't it self-defeating, so Zhu Gaoxu is trying his best to play his new role, from time to time into the palace to say hello to his father, the queen and the queen mother, and then return to the house in a proper manner, and strive to repair the relationship with the father and the queen mother, so the faction of the second prince has been silent.
But this unusual calm was broken by Chen Yunan's actions tonight.
Chen Yunan and Zhu Tu are both martial artists, they have read some books and know some words, but they can't talk about any knowledge.
The simple and crude habits that have always done things make it difficult for them to think as far-reaching and comprehensive as these court officials.
Zhu Tu saw through Ji Gang's intentions, and also knew the reason why the civil and military officials remained silent, but he couldn't think of more complicated reasons, so he wanted to break this peace.
The main person in charge of the Dabao'en Temple project is Yang Xu, the Duke of Fuguo, and the initiative to recruit a large number of disaster-stricken people from eastern Zhejiang to replace the laborers from all over the country came from Yang Xu's mouth, and Zhu Tu wanted to use this incident to create a fire in the Dabao'en Temple.
In Zhu Tu's mind, the Dabao'en Temple was built by the emperor in order to show his filial piety to the first emperor, and if a fire was created in the places where the victims of the disaster in eastern Zhejiang were responsible, then Yang Xu would not be able to get rid of it.
At this time, there is no need for the emperor to put aside the case of the White Lotus Sect and ask Yang Xu what his crimes, as long as Yang Xu's standard treatment is lowered because of displeasure, and he is changed from Xianglin Temple to prison, in the emperor's opinion, it may just be a punishment for the fire in Dabao'en Temple, but for the hundred officials, it is an absolute signal This is Zhu Tu's thoughts, he didn't discuss with anyone, and he has no one to discuss, the Eight King Kongs have their own intentions, those good brothers have long wanted to arch him down, and he will be the head of the Eight King Kongs, and now Ji Gang intends to use him as a pawn, he is to save himself, so he has to make this decision, how can he ask Ji Gang The trapped beast is still fighting, of course he Zhu Tu is not willing to be killed, as long as there is a glimmer of opportunity, he has to struggle.
Chen Yunan's insight and strategy are not as good as Zhu Tu's, as soon as he heard him say, he felt that this was a clever plan, and he immediately rushed to accept it, he came here to set fire.
Although he had done some understanding in advance, during his personal stay, it was night, and Chen Yunan still took a lot of effort to find the location of the victims in eastern Zhejiang.
The shantytown of the victims in eastern Zhejiang is on the south side of the main building complex of Dabao'en Temple, behind it is a wall, this temple wall is the wall of the isolation building in the temple, it is not very high, but it is still wide, it is not finally completed at present, the glazed tiles on the eaves of the wall have not been put on, and it has not been painted, but it is just a wall blank that has been completed for most of the time.
The inside and outside of the wall are some leftovers from construction, which is not much, because it needs to be cleaned and transported out regularly, in addition to building materials such as rockfill and wood.
Because it is strictly forbidden to light fires at night, the shantytowns of the workers are black and oppressive, and there are stars and no moon today.
He finally touched the place, quietly hid under the wall, and after a while, the inside of the wall caught fire, and as soon as the fire started, Chen Yunan flew away and left the scene.
In order to avoid the workers who got up at night to find that the fire was extinguished in time, so that the success fell short, Chen Yunan was turned into the wall, lit from the inside, the ground can see that the fire is burning wood foam is not much, he brought a skin bag of oil, splashed on the corner wood to ignite the fire, the fire first ignited on the inner wall, the oil helped the fire, after leading the piles of purlin rattan, the fire was blazing, the flames were vacated, and ignited the cornices of a palace, the whole construction site was in chaos, exclaiming: "go water" and "fire fighting" The sound came and went, and the Great Bao'en Temple caught fire It is said that a pile of wood was burned, half of the temple.
It is said that the place where the fire started was the residence of migrant workers recruited from eastern Zhejiang.
The emperor did not agree to use migrant workers in eastern Zhejiang, because they were ordinary farmers and did not understand architecture, but Yang Xu, the assistant of the country, you know At first, the officials were still calm, and the rumors only circulated among the common people and the public and the small officials, who had rich imagination, and their understanding of the dignitaries was either too simple or too complicated.
Because of the disparity in each other's status, it is difficult for them to treat those high-ranking officials and nobles as normal people with flesh and blood, so the results of speculation and imagination are unlimited.
The undercurrent of the lower layers was turbulent, stirring their upper layers layer by layer, reaching the highest level, and the "surface of the ocean" was originally calm, but because of this fire, the wind and waves suddenly rose.
Contrary to Zhu Tu and Chen Yunan's expectations, the first to jump out were not those who wanted Yang Xu to die, but those who stood on Yang Xu's side.
University scholar Xie Jin was the first to jump out, he didn't believe that this fire was just accidental, he didn't believe that it was just that the migrant workers recruited from eastern Zhejiang did not pay attention to precautions, and lost the fire, he thought that this was someone deliberately creating an incident, in a vain attempt to blame Yang Xu, the prince of the auxiliary state, at the critical moment of the trial of the White Lotus Sect case, someone came up with such a trick, is it not a weak heart, is it afraid that the existing evidence will not be able to defeat Yang Xu?
No one knows that this big Bao'en Temple arson case is just a trick made by two pawns who crossed the river to protect themselves, and the big people at the top don't know it, so they are just as blind and blind as the people at the bottom, who is behind the scenes, what is the purpose of this move is different from the people, the people can only continue to add fuel and vinegar to spread rumors, satisfy the curiosity of the hunt, and they can make full use of this matter.
The princelings, who have always been weak-minded, decisively seized this opportunity and jumped out with a very fair and objective position.
Yang Xu's political enemies were naturally not to be outdone, they were also suspecting who was doing the ghost, as soon as Xie Jin jumped out, they immediately found the target: this is a thief shouting to catch a thief, trying to transfer the target and overturn the case for Yang Xu So, the people of the second prince's faction jumped out and fought back, saying that this was Yang Xu's henchmen who defiled themselves to save themselves, which proved that Yang Xu was weak and timid, so he took risks.
On the Golden Palace, Emperor Yongle's face sank like water, and he didn't say a word, allowing the two classes of civil servants to attack each other and quarrel endlessly.
When he arrived at the Scattered Dynasty, Zhu Di returned to the Jinshen Palace, where the big eunuch dog beside him was already waiting.
Zhu Di's side, there are several eunuchs who are extremely favored and capable, like Zheng He and Yishiha are one of them, this dog is no exception, he also has a very clever martial arts, when Jing was in trouble, he followed Zhu Di on the battlefield and fought bloodily, loyal.
"The Emperor" As soon as he saw Zhu Di, the dog immediately bowed humbly, Zhu Di walked past him in a gust of wind, sat on the royal chair, and asked coldly: "How?"
The dog turned around, still hooked his waist, and replied in a low voice: "The slave and maid have looked carefully, and the fire was first ignited from the inside of the temple wall, so it is more likely that someone deliberately set the fire."
Zhu Di sneered: "It's not possible, but it's certain" The dog snorted and did not make a sound, he was only responsible for stating the facts, which was not his right to make accurate judgments.
Zhu Di thought about it, and suddenly smiled again, he glanced at the dog and asked: "Dog, you said that this fire, did you want Yang Xu to die or someone who wanted Yang Xu to live?"
The dog said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, the slave doesn't know" Zhu Di muttered: "Good intentions, no matter what I do, I can be used by people with intentions."

He raised his eyebrows, and commanded the dog in a deep voice: "Passing the decree to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the case of the White Lotus Sect, since the witnesses have been arrested, we must try a result today."
Zhu Di took the case and sneered: "I am the Son of Heaven, how can I be at your mercy as you wish?"
