My Daming New Empire

Page 371

Zheng He sighed and said, "I will go with you."

Zheng He himself understands Dashi characters. Although he can't affect the investigation, he can also know whether Ha San is really plotting something wrong through these letters.

Entering the small courtyard of the Counseling Department, Sun Lin treated Zheng He very politely, and gave Zheng He his seat so that he could read these letters with peace of mind.

As long as he doesn't destroy these letters, Sun Lin won't stop him.At the same time, he immediately asked someone to contact the Secretary of General Administration, and asked them to send a few people who knew the Dashi script.

At the same time, Feng Xiaonian and the others sent three masters and servants of Ha San to the Ministry of Punishment, and then "invited" all those who had contact with Ha San to the residence of the Ministry of Punishment according to the list provided by the Counseling Department. .

Although this kind of arrest was not intense, but because too many people were arrested, and most of them were upper-class figures, it still caused panic among many people in the Old Port.

In this process, it is not that no one resisted.But if there are nobles who resist, the whole family will be arrested together, and if there is an imam who resists, all the people in the mosque will be arrested.

This kind of vigorous and resolute action without any scruples about the influence made all the people in old Hong Kong feel uneasy.

Shi Jinqing was still taking a nap when he got the news, and was awakened by the guards, and when he heard that the whole city was being arrested, he was so frightened that he lost sleepiness at all.

His Royal Highness is now in the old port, if anything goes wrong, it may be the result of the bloodbath of the old port by the Ming army.

"Then Ha San is really rebellious?"

"Even if he doesn't have a rebellious heart, he probably won't be clean. In the past few days, he has been wandering around various mosques, meeting many imams and tribal leaders privately."

At this time, Shi Jisun knelt down in fright. "Father, my boy has seen this Ha San once, and he and my boy's words are full of dissatisfaction with His Highness, thinking that His Highness's sinicization in Nanyang is to compete with the Green Sect for public opinion."

Shi Jinqing was furious, and when he came to Shi Jisun, he slapped him hard. "Bastard, since there is such a thing, why don't you tell me!"

Shi Jisun is a playboy, so he never thought that this matter would be so serious.Dazed by his father's slap, he leaned over and kowtowed: "The child he met with Bishop Said, the child always wants to show Bishop Said some face. Besides, the child has no intention of answering him."

"Confused! You can follow the wind to make things happen, but you should have your own opinions in your heart. You are so confused, how can you take on a great cause! Let's go and see His Highness..."

Coming out of the palace, Shi Jinqing found that the Habayashi guards of the brigade had already entered the city, patrolling the streets and setting up checkpoints in various places in the old port.

Although these soldiers did not have swords or spears, nor bright armor, they only had a horizontal knife at their waists.But the firecrackers in their hands terrified everyone who knew the power of firearms.

Their appearance added a bit of solemnity to the old port, and also made Shi Jinqing feel depressed.

He was magnanimous about this matter, but a stupid son made it complicated.

He is not familiar with this Highness, if this Highness is a small-minded person, he may not be able to escape.

When he came to the Royal Courtyard, he found that the atmosphere here was still peaceful.His Royal Highness, Yaxing and several concubines held an umbrella in the rain to swim in the garden.

The ministers were brought into the main hall, and the servants led Shi Jinqing and Shi Jisun into the garden.

Seeing the arrival of Shi Jinqing and his son, Zhu Zhanji sent Ma Xin and Shen Dai'er back to the backyard, and met them in the gazebo in the garden.

Shi Jinqing didn't have any arrogance at this time, as soon as he entered the gazebo, he knelt down and bowed down. "The guilty minister Shi Jinqing pays his respects to His Highness."

When Shi Jisun saw his father kneeling down, he was so frightened that he also knelt down immediately, not daring to raise his head.

Zhu Zhanji smiled and supported Shi Jinqing's arm and said: "Aiqing is not only my consolation envoy of the old Hong Kong from Sanpin, but also the king of the new Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom and one country, please hurry up."

Shi Jinqing stood up and kicked his son on the shoulder.There was no strength left in this kick, causing Shi Jisun to roll over and land on the grass outside the gazebo, covered in muddy water.

Shi Jisun didn't even dare to scream, he got up and knelt down on the grass again.

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Ai Qing doesn't have to be like this. I just know that General Wu De has nothing to do with this matter, but I just don't know people."

Shi Jinqing's heart relaxed, after hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, he knew that His Highness was not dissatisfied with his Shi family.

This matter can be big or small, since His Highness doesn't care about it, there will be no one to settle old accounts in the future.

Of course Zhu Zhanji would not care about Shi Jisun, not to mention that he was not deeply involved, even if he was the mastermind, Zhu Zhanji would temporarily let him go for the sake of the overall situation.

What he needs is stability in Nanyang, at least before Zhu Di goes west, it must be stable.

Although Shi Jinqing is self-reliant, he still has the ability. Now he has to deal with big cannibals, and he still needs Shi Jinqing to stabilize the overall situation.

If they are brought together, who will control the overall situation in the future!

Shi Jinqing saw Zhu Zhanji's gentle face and full of smiles, and asked, "Your Highness, does Ha San really have a rebellious heart?"

"Feng Chong, talk to the envoy in detail." Zhu Zhanji beckoned, and Feng Chong, who was waiting at the side of the gazebo, handed the oil-paper umbrella to Li Liang and entered the gazebo.

Zhu Zhanji invited Shi Jinqing to sit down in the pavilion, and sat down himself.Leaning on the railing, he took a piece of diced pineapple soaked in salt water and ate it.

Feng Chong was Sun Lin's assistant, and he knew the whole situation very well. He told the whole story from the beginning of suspecting Ha San to today's action, and then introduced the whole case.

"Ha San now knows that he will die, even if he tortures him to extract a confession, he will keep silent. But his two followers are not hard-headed, and it has been confirmed that Ha San is indeed plotting evil behind the scenes. He has colluded with big cannibals and people who believe in Green Cult, He secretly learned about the fleet organization, wanted to sneak into the fleet's firearms supply ship, hacked the ship and stole the guns, and made a total of major events. Although the entire case is still in the investigation stage, it has been confirmed that this person's rebellious heart."

"Your Highness, Ha San came from Daming, and the three million people in the Three Buddhas are all sincerely welcoming His Highness. However, His Highness is now acting so vigorously, which will only make the whole people panic and turn their backs. For a mere Ha San , the gains outweigh the losses!"

Shi Jinqing, as the lord of the old port, of course hoped that the border would be stable.So now I still hope that Zhu Zhanji can be magnanimous, don't make things too big, and don't involve too many people.

In fact, Zhu Zhanji realized his mistake very quickly, and now being reminded by Shi Jinqing, he said in agreement: "I was disturbed by Ha San's rebellious heart, but I didn't think of this verse. Zhao..."

Everyone immediately stood upright, and Xie Zhenqi and Xie Zhenliang listened attentively, for fear of missing something.

Zhu Zhanji pondered for a while and said: "Issuing and posting the edict of Anmin, revealing Ha San's rebellion. Separately, the ministries must not disturb the people."

The edicts of the imperial court have a fixed format, Zhu Zhanji only needs to say the content, and great literati like Xie Jin and the others will naturally write the edicts in a colorful way.

Following Zhu Zhanji's order, the Ministry of Rites, Habayashi Guard, including Shi Jinqing also sent local yamen servants to unite and post notices throughout the city.

But at this time, Zheng He couldn't help but feel a burst of fear.

He didn't expect that this Ha San would have such a wolfish ambition, that he would join forces with others, steal firearms, and then fight against Daming.

What made him even more embarrassed was that because Ha San had different beliefs from him, he treated him preferentially, which made Ha San take advantage of many loopholes.

Today the fleet has thousands of Hui and Green Sect members, and they are all recruited by the imperial court to sail to the West.And among these people, there are many who are closely related to Kazakhstan.

A supervisor who knows people unknown and cronyism has a great impact on his reputation.Fortunately, His Highness is aware of the details, otherwise, even he himself would be very suspicious.

And through the interrogation of more and more people by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, more details were exposed, and Zheng He couldn't help but began to worry again.

What he was worried about was not that these people would succeed in the rebellion, nor was it that His Highness doubted him, but that His Highness would kill him.

If it is really necessary to kill people according to the longer and longer list, there are thousands of big cannibals involved, as well as thousands of people from the Green Cult in Malaga and Old Port.

They are all upper-class figures in the Nanyang region. If all these people are killed, the whole Nanyang will be in chaos.

But his own suspicions have not been cleared. At this time, he doesn't know how to act.

Persuasion, or not persuasion, will make him very sad.

On one side are people of the same clan, on the other side are Daming and His Highness, and his ideals.
