Chapter 343 King of Jin's entanglement Wang Ge and Chen Wang and fifty elite guards had actually arrived in Taiyuan secretly yesterday, but after Wang Ge settled Chen Wang and those elite guards, he did not immediately contact Zhu Jixi, the king of Jin, but first put on the appearance of "Wang Ping'an" and asked Xing Kun to contact Zhu Jiye, the younger brother of the king of Jin.Last year, Zhu Li, the king of Jin, was seriously ill, and the imperial court sent Xue Gonggong to visit, and also brought the imperial doctor and the emperor's medicine.But King Jin's illness has not yet recovered, but Gonggong Xue suddenly disappeared, and he disappeared with the old man in the palace and the strong martial arts Gonggong Qin!
The entire Jin Wangfu was in a hurry because of this matter, and it was already troublesome enough for the King of Jin to get sick and serious, and there was such a thing.At that time, Zhu Jiye asked for orders to take over the task of finding the two fathers-in-law, found the famous head catcher in Taiyuan Chengli, and used his tracking dog to find it.In the end, the body of one of the father-in-law was found in the yamen of Taiyuan Dusi, which made this matter completely bigger.The body of Gonggong Qin of the Jin Palace's Mansion was found in a dry well in the Yamen of the Dusi, and Gonggong Xue, who came from the capital and disappeared with Gonggong Qin, has not been found.And naturally, Zhu Jiye, who forcibly broke into the Yamen of the capital at that time and caused conflicts between the Jin Palace, Taiyuan and Shanxi officialdom, would not get any good evaluation from Zhu Jixi, who was still the prince at the time, and was scolded and blamed.But for Zhu Jiye, the palace dispatched so many people but failed to find the two fathers-in-law and their entourage, as soon as he got out of the horse, he found the body of Gonggong Qin, there is no merit at all, why should a capable person be reprimanded?
However, not long after, the king of Jin Zhu Li fell ill, Zhu Jixi attacked the domain, Zhu Jiye became more and more marginalized in the palace, but the title of the king of the county has not come down, and he is full of resentment every day, often causing some trouble.And this period of time was when Emperor Jianwen was cutting the domain, and Zhu Jixi, who had just attacked the domain, was like a frightened bird, for fear that their Jin Palaces would attract the attention of the imperial court, so Zhu Jiye would be reprimanded, grounded, and even whipped directly when he caused trouble outside.The weight of Zhu Jiye's resentment can be imagined.Since he was a child, he didn't think much of this brother and always wanted to replace him.I took the initiative to find the two fathers-in-law before, just to prove to my seriously ill father that he was the most capable person.But he didn't expect that although he found the body of Gonggong Qin, his father fell ill so quickly.Zhu Jiye naturally wouldn't have thought that most of his current situation was actually deliberately designed and arranged by Wang Ge, and what he wanted was his resentment that had nowhere to vent.Wang Ge did not go to see Zhu Jiye in person, but let the two decent Jinyi guards Qian You and Li Chengwei, who had been controlled by him before, contact him privately, and directly told him that the imperial court had decided to cut the Jin domain, and many officials and nobles in Shanxi had written to the imperial court, and gave His Majesty a secret recital, clarifying the crimes committed by Zhu Jixi, the king of Jin.If he can also kill his relatives in righteousness and truthfully give up, he may be favored, otherwise, the previous vassal kings who were cut down will be a lesson from the past.Zhu Jiye naturally knew that if he reported Zhu Jixi and brought down Zhu Jixi, he would be able to attack the king of Jin, and if the emperor wanted to cut the Jin domain, the king of Jin would be gone in the future.But if he doesn't do anything, when the Jin domain is cut, he will also not be able to avoid being implicated, and when the time comes, I am afraid that he will not even have to do the king of the county, and he will have to be arrested and put under house arrest in the capital together, or like the sons of King Zhou, he will be migrated to some remote and wild places.Therefore, Zhu Jiye did not hesitate much, so he wrote down the secret recital to Emperor Jianwen, and also took the initiative to say what he knew about the jade seal of the former dynasty that had been privately hidden and not disposed of, and was willing to take it out as evidence and present it to the capital, and did his best to put Zhu Jixi to death.And the secret letter was naturally handed over to Zhu Jixi by Wang Ge.With Emperor Jianwen fiercely cutting down the feudal domain and forcing the two vassal kings to death, and this secret letter written by Zhu Jiye himself, and Wang Ge's alarmist words behind, it is natural that Zhu Jixi is not frightened."
Lord Wang, do you know why we came to Taiyuan at this time?"
Wang Ge took advantage of Zhu Jixi's mind to be shaken by the letter, and continued to say while the iron was hot: "Jianwen has already ordered to take action against the remaining eight Sai kings, not only you, Lord Wang!"
The other kings, including King Yan, King Ning, King Gu, and King Su, must all be cut down at once, or directly find a reason to abolish the number, put the Jingshi under house arrest, or migrate to the barbaric land, be controlled, and deprived of the guards!
What does the prince think will happen to you on your 'crime'?
”The so-called "King of Sai" is that Zhu Yuanzhang arranged his nine sons in important places on the border to guard the Ming frontier and guard against Meng Yuan and other foreign tribes.From east to west, they are the nine kings of Liao, Ning, Yan, Gu, Dai, Jin, Qin, Qing, and Su.According to Zhu Yuanzhang's vision: "These nine kings, all of whom are the kings, are not in danger, control the fortress, accompanied by the generals of Yuan Rong, the power to control the life, the power to raise the army, clear the desert, and look at each other." ”These nine vassal kings have the greatest effect on Gongwei Daming, and their power is also great, such as King Yan, King Jin, and King Ning, not only the number of personal guards under their command is the largest among the kings, but also in case of emergency, they can also directly control the soldiers and horses within the territory, and civil and military officials must obey orders.Of course, after Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, if he wanted to implement the policy of cutting the feudal domain, the power of the vassal kings had been greatly restricted, such as the acting king, one of the Sai kings, was directly cut.The other eight Sai kings with military power were undoubtedly the main targets of Emperor Jianwen to cut the domain.Emperor Jianwen naturally couldn't do it to the eight Sai kings at one time, and no matter how brain-dead he was, he wouldn't be so reckless, but at this time, how did Zhu Jixi, who was already like a frightened bird, know that after seeing Zhu Jiye's handwritten letter, he really thought that Emperor Jianwen was already going to attack the Jin Domain."
You mean......
Your Majesty, did you also do it to the Four Emperor Uncles?
”It took Zhu Jixi a while to react to Wang Ge's words and asked in surprise.Wang Ge replied: "It's not a secret, before coming here, several dog officials were ordered by the imperial court to kill His Royal Highness King Yan, and they were killed on the spot.King Yan will personally go to Beijing to seek justice, and kill the traitorous ministers who have slandered and caused the royal family to kill each other, and specially ordered us to come and ask, can the King of Jin go with him?
”Zhu Jixi was stunned when he heard it, although Wang Ge's words were quite tactful, he could still hear the direct meaning - Emperor Jianwen wanted to cut King Yan, and King Yan had already reversed?
!
Wang Ge observed the expression of King Jin, seeing that he seemed to be hesitant, knowing that this guy has always been timid and likes to act prudently, and he is probably still thinking about acting in the direction of the court, so he said: "Before I entered the palace, I heard that the second prince had already gone to the Yamen of the Dusi ......."
