Then play music and then dance

Afternoon.

Dark clouds over the city.

The thunderous sound of horse hooves trampled across the bluestone road, startling the feathered birds nesting among the broken tiles of the earthen walls, and flying into the sky.

The doors of every household in Nanjing are closed, and the mouths of young children are covered by their parents. Only the very brave dare to peek through the gaps in doors and windows.

When Jianwen was arrested a few months ago, the same cavalry came out, and then the fierce Yan soldiers broke in. Obviously, this left a deep shadow on the people in the city.

At the base of the palace wall, the newly created cabinet also received the news.

"What did you say? The loyal guards have been dispatched?"

When Yang Rong came out for some fresh air, he happened to meet the assistant officer sent by Yingtian Mansion. After hearing the report, he hesitated to make a judgment.

While the cabinet was on duty, several other bachelors also came to look at it.

Xie Jin is arrogant, but he is able to make up his mind at the critical moment: "Go and inform His Highness the First Prince!"

Jin Youzi is a military staff-type talent who is also good at criminal and prison litigation. He has strong professional ability and is very popular with Zhu Di.

However, Yang Rong expressed his objection in Hu Guang's shocked eyes.

On duty today are Xie Jin, Jin Youzi, Hu Guang and Yang Rong.

Since ancient times, there have been many factions in the imperial court, each with its own interests and demands.

Xie Jin was angry and jealous.

"Jiang Xinghuo! It must be Jiang Xinghuo!"

Among the bachelors and editors in the cabinet, apart from Xie Jin, the late bloomer Jin Youzi was the most promising to take the top position in the cabinet.

Xie Jin didn't like Jin Youzi, and Jin Youzi also thought Xie Jin was an eyesore - since you have such ambitions, why do you have to quarrel with others in everything?

The second prince is not the only one of the most important death row prisoners in the prison!

Hu Guang, the wallflower, didn't finish what he said, that is, if it was really the second prince who mutinied, and Emperor Yongle personally led the loyal guards to arrest and suppress it, and at this time they reported to the eldest prince in vain, would the eldest prince move at all? If he did, Yongle would be punished.

The emperor suspected that he would also seize power and usurp the throne. If he did not move, the collective status of the cabinet would be embarrassing. Is this the cabinet of Emperor Yongle or the cabinet of the eldest prince?

"If His Majesty has no arrangements, we will stay in the cabinet and cannot move!" Jin Youzi was categorical and also disagreed with the cabinet's arbitrary opinions.

"Yang Rong! You thief! Take my credit!"

Because Xie Jin not only has no experience in governing, but also lacks the courage and skills to monopolize power and integrate party members.

As for Jiang Xinghuo, something unexpected happened right now.

It wasn't for any other reason, but that no matter who the prince was, Jin Youzi only recognized Zhu Di.

Not to mention that Xie Jin had his teeth shattered and was blinded by jealousy; nor did Yang Rong, who trotted away, successfully came to the eldest prince Zhu Gaochi to express his loyalty. Zhu Gaochi planned to go to Emperor Yongle in person to see if he could see him.

The legendary Jiang Xinghuo.

Conflicts always exist, and enemies and ourselves are not divided into black and white positions. I support you on this matter and oppose you on that matter. This is also normal in the cabinet.

Emperor Yongle, loyal guard, prison edict, and death row prisoner.

Then he said to Jin Youzi: "Brother Tui'an, the country is in trouble. Even if you can't help the building to collapse, as a cabinet, you have to do things. You are the only one among us who knows the military. You are indispensable in the cabinet to coordinate the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army."

Governor's Mansion, just let me go."

After hearing this, Hu Guang was almost furious: "Go and inform the eldest prince? The eldest prince knows the news will not be later than us. Now we go to inform the eldest prince, what will your majesty think?"

"First ask what happened, and then report it to Your Majesty." Hu Guang, on the other hand, was worried.

Xie Jin believed that only people with both political integrity and talent like himself were qualified to be in charge of the cabinet.

Speaking of people, take Xie Jin for example. He was born in a high family, and he passed the imperial examination from Jiangxi Jieyuan. He was a first-class scholar. He became a Hanlin bachelor at a young age, and he thought very highly of himself.

When the four major factors are taken together, isn't it true that the second prince Zhu Gaoxu escaped from prison and planned a mutiny, and was discovered by Emperor Yongle and hunted down by the whole city?

Several people in the cabinet looked at each other.

Yang Rong turned around and just finished asking, he felt that his voice was drowned in the Jiangxi accent.

"Brother Mianren!" Hu Guang did not dare to say anything more, so he could only shout Yang Rong's words.

Although these thoughts were fleeting, Jin Youzi still turned his attention to Xie Jin and asked, "What do you think we should do, Xie Jin?"

Only then did Xie Jin remember why he and others had preemptively concluded that the second prince had evil intentions, and Emperor Yongle personally led his troops to search for him?

But when Yang Rong walked far away, Xie Jin suddenly became excited.

But although it is said that the soil and water support each person, it is true that everyone is different.

As for other members of the cabinet, most of them were compiled by Hanlin. Although there is not much difference between Qingpao and Greenpao, the official level is the higher level.

Jin Youzi had complicated eyes and finally nodded.

Yang Rong nodded slightly, and at the same time turned his head and said to Xie Jin: "Xie Jin, you are the oldest and highest-ranking person in the cabinet, so you should be in charge of the cabinet."

Not long after, news from all parties came together.

Emperor Yongle was not in the palace, but in the Zhongyi Guards. The Zhongyi Guards were sent out not because of a rebellion by the remnants of Jianwen, but to search the whole city for a death row prisoner who had escaped from the imperial edict.

But reality is often cruel.

The Loyalty Guards were dispatched, searching the city!

What he was jealous of was that that damn Jiang Xinghuo had such a high status in Emperor Yongle's heart.

Just looking for a Jiang Xinghuo!

Among the people currently in charge of the cabinet, Jin Youzi is a die-hard imperialist, Xie Jin and Yang Rong both support the eldest prince, and Hu Guangze is the one who wins.

Yang Rong shook off his green robe and walked towards the eldest prince's residence. No one saw the smile on his face that could not be hidden.

For example, they are both from Ji'an, Yang Shiqi is calm and good at planning, Xie Jinyin is proud of his talents, Hu Guangzhi cherishes his life, and Jin Youzi is a lonely minister with a unique character.

Jin Youzi frowned and said: "Those are His Majesty's trusted troops! Once dispatched, it will be no small matter!"

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there was a saying that "the Imperial Academy was rich in water, and the imperial officials were half from Jiangxi." This was especially true in the Yongle Cabinet. Among the seven people, there were five Jiangxi old cousins. In other words, except for Huang Huai from Zhejiang and Yang Rong from Fujian, all of them were from Jiangxi.

.

Therefore, he has always wanted to turn the cabinet into his own private sphere. He only needs to inform himself about anything.

"What do you think? Is there a rebellion against the party?"

And their personal characteristics are most vividly displayed at this time.

What makes me angry is that I have always been known for my quick thinking, but now I didn't react. I was inadvertently robbed by Yang Rong of showing my loyalty to the eldest prince at the critical moment.

"I will inform the eldest prince. If your Majesty asks you about it later, I will be responsible!"

Jiang Xinghuo fell into the water from a bridge in a drunken dream last night and floated all the way to the Qinhuai River, where he was fished out.

"Don't panic, Mr. Jiang. As long as I'm here, no one in Nanjing dares to touch you!"

On a huge painting boat, a handsome middle-aged man in a red robe held a wine glass and laughed, patted Jiang Xinghuo on the shoulder, and then said to the singer on the painting boat.

"Keep playing music, keep dancing!"
