Chapter 353 Loyalty
Between Chengtian Gate and Hongwu Gate, most of the central government offices of the imperial court were in this area, and there were countless civil and military officials, officials, and servants. Standing at Chengtian Gate, it was not the eunuch who recited the imperial edict, but the new commander of the Jinyiwei Tan Qing.
Tan Qing was big and thick, and his voice was very loud. Many officials from the yamen near Chengtian Gate heard that they were all out.
After reading the imperial edict, Tan Qing called the Jinyiwei official army who came to the Wumen Gate and walked out of Chengtian Gate with two civil officials, and came to the various government offices, asking the officials and officials of the various halls to check the empress's handwriting and the seals one by one.
Whenever he arrived at a yamen, everyone cheered and scolded Ji Gang for being extremely guilty and could not forgive him for his death! He also claimed that the prince was benevolent and wise, and that he was blessed with billions of subjects.
Suddenly an official said, "Isn't Chen Ying Ji Gangtong|Party?"
As soon as someone came out to mention Chen Ying, the lobby was immediately in full swing. The officials immediately scolded Chen Ying, making a fuss and making a fuss. Some even started to make up anecdotes on the spot, telling the story of how Chen Ying and Ji Gang were good, and they always exchanged concubines to make fun of it.
However, many people know in their hearts that Ji Gang and Chen Ying are not in the same pot at all. Their errands are completely different, and they have no selfish relationships. But no one has pointed out this mistake now.
Chen Ying was responsible for impeachment, only speaking but not talking; Ji Gang usually only verifies and arrests, and will not openly impeach the ministers. Chen Ying himself was also an old minister of Jianwen, and was banned and beaten because of his excessive corruption. Ji Gang was born as a wild path and had no old grudges with most people in the court.
The civil and military officials in the court hated Chen Ying more than Ji Gang. It is difficult for all the officials in Beijing who are somewhat powerful to find an official who has not been impeached by Chen Ying. If Ji Gang is a bad dog, Chen Ying is a mad dog in everyone's heart!
Tan Qing said: "Okay, OK, I have to go to the next place. Let's talk about all of you later!"
Yang Shiqi, who was traveling with him, said: "You write a memorial to make sure that everything is true and that the prince can decide the case."
...In the Central Army Governor's Office, the left Governor Qiu Fu led all the military officials to check the imperial edict, but found no strangeness.
Qiu Fu received the order and sat back to the lobby seat, and suddenly said coldly: "Tan Qing, go back and report to the prince for me. Qiu Fu's advice is that it is probably not good for the country to cover up the major matters so much!"
All the ministers were shocked and did not dare to talk to each other.
Qiu Fu is already sixty-four years old, and his grandson Qiu Lu is already an adult and serves in the Central Army Governor's Office. Qiu Lu hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Grandfather is careful!"
Tan Qing said: "I will finally see the relationship between everyone fighting bloody battles together, please ask Duke Qi to take back that sentence."
"You are now the commander of the Jinyiwei." Qiu Fu sneered, "Come on, catch me?"
Tan Qing blushed and clasped his fists and said, "The last general will decide to report the words of Duke Qi, and report them to His Highness the Crown Prince." After that, he turned around and walked out of the lobby of the Central Army Governor's Office with Yang Shiqi and others.
As soon as the person who sent the order left, there was a lot of discussion in the lobby, and many military officers advised Qiu Fu to write a letter to apologize.
Qiu Fu was furious and said, "At that time, the emperor was framed by a traitor in the court. Fu followed the emperor and rose up in anger, swept the world, won the emperor's kindness and was given wealth and honor. In this life, blessing was only loyal to the emperor. Now that eunuchs closed the palace gate, rumors spread everywhere, some people did not allow ministers to meet, nor did they call the imperial physician for consultation. How would it be beneficial to the country to cover up?
I, Qiu Fu, am worried that the emperor is loyal, so why is there any sin?!
The King of Han was the grandson of Emperor Taizu and the legitimate son of the emperor. He fought for his father and made great contributions to the world. Qiu Fu, fortunately, was rescued by the King of Han and was not defeated. How could he be ungrateful? Now the King of Han hastily fled the palace, and no one in the palace explained it.
I, Qiu Fu, said something to the King of Han, is righteous, why is there any crime?!"
After saying that, Qiu Fu sneered: "If you want to die, die. I, Qiu Fu, have died a few times. I have made a profit after living for more years."
The subordinate whispered: "Duke Qi Guo is not thinking about himself, but also thinking about your grandson, right?"
Qiu Fu said: "Do you think I am Ji Gang? If the blood shed by the emperor and the merits I made are all fake, then why did I beg the Duke? My grandson of the Qiu family is not a coward!"
After hearing this, his grandson Qiu Lu turned red and lowered his head in shame.
Qiu Fu said, "You will follow me to Chengtian Gate and ask for an audience with the emperor!"
Everyone's eyes dodged, and no one said anything.
"He|mother|!" Qiu Fu slapped the case with a palm, which scared several people to tremble all over. Qiu Fu did not make things difficult for them, and stood up and headed to the left army governor's office.
Qiu Fu came to the lobby and asked where Wang Cong, the Marquis of Wucheng, was.
The official in the hall said, "Governor Wang is ill, so he has gone home after taking leave."
Qiu Fu walked around the five army governor's office and wanted to find a few brothers who were granted marquis all the way. But four of the dozen marquises in Beijing suddenly fell ill! The remaining few tried their best to persuade Qiu Fu and said a lot of words, meaning: You have already given a title to the Duke, and you have done so much, and you can live a good life with a generous salary and pass it on to your descendants. Wouldn't it be nice?
When Qiu Fu walked out of the lobby of the Governor's Office, he accidentally heard someone talking inside. Those people thought that Qiu Fu was old and his ears were not effective.
Someone said, "Duke Qi is brave and bold in wars and has great courage. I think he is the same as a human being. He relies on his great achievements as a priest and has an iron certificate for exemption from death. He believes that the prince dares not take him! But even if he wants to do something, he doesn't do that. Who dares to interfere with him?"
Another person said: "Who doesn't know that Duke Qi and King Han are in good terms. What can he do now if he doesn't do this? The Jinyiwei must have sent someone to stare at him. Everyone is not fools, neither has the prestige of Duke Qi, nor does he have to do that, so why do you follow him to make trouble?"
Qiu Fu was too lazy to tell them, thinking to himself: If Duke Lu (post-broken title) Zhang Wu had not died, he would definitely be willing to follow him today!
So Qiu Fu walked alone to Chengtian Gate, looked up at Ji Gang's bloody head. Ji Gang had only one head, but his eyes were still open. Qiu Fu shouted: "My minister Qiu Fu, please see the emperor!"
The officials standing up and down Chengtian Gate ignored him and did not stop him. After a while, an eunuch said, "Duke Qi, are you always trying to force the palace?"
Qiu Fu cursed: "Cao, you | Mom! Is it your turn to convict me?"
The eunuch shrank his neck and hid back. After a while, another eunuch said, "Duke Qi waited, let's report to the prince."
After a long time, the side door of Chengtian Gate was actually opened. Although the eunuch who opened the door bent over, he looked at Qiu Fu with a threatening sneer, as if saying: Are you not afraid of death when you enter alone?
