The next morning, Li Yuntian left the capital under the escort of a group of cavalry and galloped in the direction of Tianjin Wei.

Before leaving, Li Yuntian had already received the news that last night, Ma Shun, the deputy envoy of the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, personally interrogated Liu Qiu in the Imperial Prison.

Although Li Manshan has stepped down from the post of Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi's town envoy, he has been operating in Beizhen Fusi for many years, and he can know whenever there is a wind and grass in Beizhen Fusi.

It is worth mentioning that even if Ma Shun went into battle in person, he still found nothing after tossing all night, and finally left the edict prison in a hurry, and Liu Qiu was already out of human form and was carried back to the prison by several jailers.

Li Yuntian was very surprised that Liu Qiu could bear the punishment in prison, and at the same time admired Liu Qiu very much, even people from the army rarely could withstand it, let alone a weak scholar like Liu Qiu.

Li Yuntian didn't know if Liu Qiu could survive his return from Tianjin Port, if Liu Qiu was lucky enough to survive his return to Beijing, then he would be able to find a way to save Liu Qiu's life at that time.

But if Liu Qiu's bad luck is bad and he dies in the edict before he returns to Beijing, then it can only be Liu Qiu's bad luck, and don't think about turning over this case in a short time.

Because it is too close to the capital, Tianjin Port is the most important port in the Ming Dynasty, with a pivotal strategic position, and is the object of Li Yuntian's key construction.

Today, Tianjin Port has become a large-scale port for both military and civilian use, with more than 20 sailor ships moored all year round, responsible for protecting the safety of the nearby waters.

Although Tianjin Port will not encounter an attack by the enemy from the sea at this stage, Li Yuntian naturally has a profound meaning in doing so, in addition to establishing a good maritime patrol system to protect the safety of the Beijing Division, he also wants to suppress the Korean state across the sea.

Obviously, if the Ming army was sent from the port of Tianjin, it would be able to strike into the hinterland of the Korean state, which would facilitate the transfer of troops and the transportation of supplies.

In Li Yuntian's eyes, the Korean state, like the Japanese state, has always been the confidant of the Ming Dynasty, so he has always secretly arranged matters to deal with the Korean state and the Japanese state, and Tianjin Port is the most important representative of them.

When Li Yuntian arrived at Tianjin Port, it was the busy season for freight transportation, and there were many cargo ships moored in the port to load and unload goods there, which was a busy scene.

Because the sea ban of the Ming Dynasty has not been completely relaxed, prohibiting the people from engaging in overseas trade, so the cargo ships entering and leaving Tianjin Port have been filed in the Yamen and obtained the exploration of going to sea.

Otherwise, it is forbidden to go to sea, and if it is encountered by the sailors and ships along the way, it will be a bad luck, and you will be imprisoned at least and sunk at sea.

Although Tianjin Port is very close to the capital, Li Yuntian has never been to Beijing since returning to Beijing last year, and he is entangled in the complicated daily affairs and cannot get out.

Li Yuntian's visit to Tianjin Port this time was not just to hide from Liu Qiu's case, to be precise, he only advanced the day of his inspection of Tianjin Port by a few days, and according to the plan, he should come to Tianjin Port next month.

Tianjin Wei was originally a coastal defense station, with the establishment of the naval division, it was included in the jurisdiction of the naval division like many coastal defense posts in the Ming Dynasty, and now it has become the military base of the naval division.

The people of the Tianjin Weishui Division did not know that Li Yuntian would come, and Li Yuntian would never notify the place he went to in advance to let him prepare, which made Zhao Liang, the chief soldier of the Tianjin Weishui Division, feel happy and nervous at the same time, for fear that Li Yuntian would see what he had not done well.

Zhao Liang is a graduate of the first phase of Jiangwutang, and he has excellent grades in the first batch of students, so he was sent by Li Yuntian to sit in Tianjin Wei.

Accompanied by Zhao Liang and others, Li Yuntian inspected the construction of Tianjin Port and the daily training of sailors and soldiers, and was very satisfied with everything he saw, which made Zhao Liang and others secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

At dusk, the noisy harbor gradually fell silent, and the sea was calm and full of golden glow.

Some of the fishing boats that had gone out to sea to fish returned to the port in twos and threes, and the fishermen on board sang cheerful fishing songs, and it seemed that the harvest was good.

In this peaceful and quiet atmosphere, the three-masted warship Ming Yang was quietly parked on the dock, it was Li Yuntian's ship, so wherever Li Yuntian went, it had to go to the nearest port to stay, in case of emergency.

Li Yuntian strolled along the pier in the sea breeze, followed by Lin Xin and Zhao Liang, who stopped in front of the Mingyang and watched intently at the sailors cleaning on the deck.

Lin Xin and Zhao Liang knew that Li Yuntian was thinking about something, so they stayed behind with bated breath so as not to disturb Li Yuntian's train of thought.

"Mr. Zhao, are you familiar with the route to Korea?" After a long time, Li Yuntian's eyes moved away from the Ming Yang and asked Zhao Liang quietly.

"Back to the prince, now we have to run to the waters of the Korean country several times a year, and now we can reach the Korean country with our eyes closed." Zhao Liang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he bowed down and replied.

Although Li Yuntian never talked about using force against the Korean State, the naval division of Tianjin Wei had to go to the waters of the Korean State every year for training, and he also sent people to the Korean State to survey the waters and terrain of the landing.

"North Korea has been in turmoil for a long time, if it can't be calmed down, our Ming can only intervene, General Zhao, you can't slack off!" Li Yuntian nodded, then looked at the North Korean country across the sea, and said meaningfully.

"The prince can rest assured, he will not dare to relax for a moment." Zhao Liang was suddenly overjoyed in his heart, Li Yuntian was hinting that he would use troops against the Korean State in the Ming Dynasty, and then his sailors would have a place to use.

Li Yuntian heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, a few days ago, the Korean country had sent people to Daming to ask for help, because the war caused the Korean country to have a poor grain harvest last year, so the Korean country hoped that the Ming Dynasty could help the Korean people to help the Korean people survive the famine.

This means that the situation in the DPRK is already relatively bad, and the strength of the DPRK will not be able to support a large-scale civil war for a long time, and it will not be able to replenish the material after consumption.

What is a little funny is that Li Yao and Li Jue both sent a request for help to Daming, but one used the prince of Daming, and the other was His Royal Highness the Great King.

Although Li Yao wrote to the orthodox emperor, asking the orthodox emperor to abolish the position of Li Jue's son and crown himself as the prince of Joseon, the orthodox emperor did not grant this matter, so Li Yao is still the monarch of Joseon, that is, the prince.

Regarding Li Yao and Li Jue's letter of help, Li Yuntian believed that the Ming Dynasty should assist them with relief food, no matter how to say that the Korean State is also a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and the relationship with the Ming Dynasty is very close, and the people who are facing famine should be saved.

The orthodox emperor also thought that the victims of the Korean state should be rescued, so he granted Li Yao and Li Jue's request for help, and ordered the treasury of the household department to allocate grain for relief, and the ship carrying the grain was from heaven

In Li Yuntian's view, judging from the domestic situation in North Korea, next year Daming will be able to intervene in the civil war in North Korea, when Li Jin and Li Jue will both lose, and Daming can just take advantage of the situation.

In addition to inspecting the affairs of Tianjin Wei, Li Yuntian's other purpose in coming to Tianjin Wei was to give himself a big vacation, and he had not rested much since he returned to the capital, so he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to recuperate and recuperate.

As for the situation in the capital, Li Yuntian is not interested in knowing, because if he knows, he will definitely have to work hard, it is better to be out of sight and out of mind.

In order to pass the time, Li Yuntian deliberately found a place to fish on the beach, and at the end of the day, he had a lot of harvest, and simply ate a whole fish feast in the evening.

By the time Li Yuntian returned to the capital, it was already five days later, and as soon as he entered the city, he heard the shocking news that Liu Qiu had committed suicide in fear of crime in prison, and left a letter of repentance admitting his collusion with Dong Fu.

This caused an uproar in the officialdom of the capital, and no one thought that Liu Qiu would die, let alone believe that Liu Qiu would collude with Dong Fu.

Liu Qiu's two sons once went to Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town to collect Liu Qiu's body, but they were rejected by Jinyiwei's people, and people like Liu Qiu who committed the crime of bullying the king could not die well, and their bodies had been thrown in the mass graves outside the city.

Although Liu Qiu's two sons later went to the mass grave to search, Liu Qiu's body was never found, and God knows where Liu Qiu's body was dumped.

"Alas!" After learning this result, Li Yuntian couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart, it seemed that Liu Qiu's bad luck could not wait for him to return to the capital.

As for how Liu Qiu died, whether he committed suicide or not, it didn't matter to Li Yuntian, because the people who died in the edict had no way to investigate the cause of death at all, unless the emperor ordered a thorough investigation.

But obviously, the orthodox emperor will not order Liu Qiu's death to investigate the cause of his death, after getting the evidence that Liu Qiu and Dong Phosphorus were guilty of adultery, Liu Qiu is a sinner of the Ming Dynasty, and if he dies, he will die, and he is fortunate not to implicate his family.

In the final analysis, Liu Qiu's death involved a power game between the orthodox emperor and the Wenchen group, and Wang Zhen was just a pawn, so it was difficult for Liu Qiu's case to be overturned in the orthodox dynasty, and Li Yuntian naturally could not be involved in this matter.

On the day Li Yuntian arrived in the capital, Ma Shun, the deputy envoy of the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, was promoted to the pacification envoy by the orthodox emperor because of his meritorious service in handling Liu Qiu's case, and officially took charge of the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town.

Ma Shun's promotion not only made Liu Qiu's case "conclusive", but also successfully led the anger and spearhead of the Wenchen group to Ma Shun and Wang Zhen, who secretly instructed Ma Shun.

In the view of the Wenchen group, Liu Qiu's case was carried out by Wang Zhen and Ma Shun behind the back of the orthodox emperor, and its purpose was to crack down on the power of the Wenchen group.

Moreover, according to the information obtained by the Wenchen group, Ma Shun's promotion was strongly recommended by Wang Zhen in front of the orthodox emperor, which can prove that Wang Zhen and Ma Shun are in cahoots.

Liu Qiu, as a waiter of the Hanlin Academy, a dignified official of the six-rank imperial court, said that it was gone, which not only made the Wenchen Group angry, but also had a huge shock to the Wenchen Group, realizing that Wang Zhen was terrible, which made many civil officials feel troubled.

It is worth mentioning that Dong Fu, who was in the same case as Liu Qiu, was released by the Orthodox Emperor on the second day of his death because of his meritorious service to Liu Qiu, coupled with his filial piety to serve his mother at home.

Originally, a group of angry Hanlin broke into Dong Phosphorus's house to find him trouble, but when they saw Dong Phosphorus lying on the bed covered in bruises and inhuman, those Hanlin didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Everyone, I'm sorry Lord Liu, if you have any grievances, just send them down, and there will be no complaints in the next place." Dong Phosphorus struggled out of bed, knelt in front of Zhong Hanlin with a sad expression, he already knew that Liu Qiu was dead, and he was shocked and scared in his heart: Wang Zhen and Ma Shun even dared to kill Liu Qiu, not to mention that he was a little calyx who had been revised!

"Dong Bianxiu, you say, did you suffer from torture to extract a confession in the Imperial Prison, and you couldn't bear it so that you were forced to provide false testimony?" Hearing this, a Han Lin standing in front of the crowd couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.

"If you are guilty, you deserve death, please don't pursue this case again." A look of pain appeared on Dong Phosphorus's face, and after kowtowing to everyone, he said sadly, Liu Qiu's case can be said to be over, where does he dare to say more now, otherwise wouldn't it be disrespectful to the orthodox emperor?

After experiencing the edict and prison, Dong Phosphorus was already disheartened at this time, and only wanted to leave the capital and return to his hometown with his family safely, and he really didn't want to get involved in the power game in the court anymore.

Seeing that Dong Phosphorus had made up his mind not to mention Liu Qiu, everyone knew that no matter how much they pressed them, it would be in vain, so they left the Dong family with a disappointed face, it seems that it is really difficult to overturn Liu Qiu's case.
