Wang Xian said that the Yongle Emperor, who was rigid and self-serving, did not have much hope for the grandson...... He understands that Zhu Zhanji is now, His Royal Highness Taisun has pressed everything on the emperor, and it is impossible to risk annoying the emperor and make a blunt statement.

"it!" Erhei couldn't help but complain: "Just don't care, mess with the!" Anyway, we reminded you! ”

"That's it!" Deng Xiaoxian was also indignant, they hadn't been in five years, and they interrogated day and night, and the exact information they got was actually treated as waste paper by the emperor! It's really unbearable! "Your Excellency, you can't do it!"

"Shut the fuck!" Wang Xian was able to listen patiently to the complaints of his subordinates at first, but he couldn't suppress the fire when he listened to it, his eyes widened, and he reprimanded: "It's just a few complaints, it's endless!" Like an old lady, there is no appearance of a senior officer! ”

Erhei, Deng Xiaoxian and the others couldn't raise their heads when they were sprayed by Wang Xian, and while wiping the saliva on their faces, they secretly muttered: "It's not all learned from you......

"My lord," Fortunately, at this time, Zhou Yong came in to relieve the siege and said, "Lord Yin Li of Shuntian Mansion has arrived." ”

"I'll settle accounts with you later!" Wang Xian glared at a few of his subordinates, seeing that they were making grimaces and raising their hands to fight, his subordinates hurriedly bowed their heads and softened, Wang Xiancai snorted and went to the outer signing room to meet the newly appointed Shuntian Mansion Yin Li Pan.

Li Pan is in his 40s, shrewd and capable, and originally served as an envoy in Yunnan, where the people's situation was complicated. Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, and all kinds of people poured into Beijing, which inevitably mixed fish and dragons, and the people's feelings were complicated, in order to ensure the peace and stability of the new capital, Emperor Yongle specially transferred him from Yunnan.

According to the inspection envoy, it is the third product, and the Shuntianfu Yin is also the third product, but from the poor and remote Yunnan, he has become the Jingyin at the foot of the Son of Heaven, which is undoubtedly promoted. As long as you can survive smoothly for two years and nothing serious, you will inevitably be promoted, and when the time comes, you will either enter the sixth ministry as a scholar, or put the place as a political envoy, in short, the future is very good!

So as soon as he heard Wang Xian's explanation of the situation, Li Fuyin blew up: "Is this worth it?!" The White Lotus Demon dared to take advantage of the Shangyuan Festival to make trouble and destroy the stability and unity of my Ming Dynasty! What a sin deserves death! ”

"yes." Although Wang Xian felt that this Lord Fu Yin was a little too strong, but when he thought about it, he was in the eyes of others, why wasn't it so? At this time, what is needed is to use too much force, not to make a big thing small. Wang Xian cast an approving glance at Li Fu Yin and said: "Lord Fu Yin is really keen, please cooperate with Shuntian Mansion and Jinyi Wei, we must protect the peace of the people in the capital and thwart the conspiracy of the White Lotus Demon!" ”

"Definitely, definitely." Li Pan nodded heavily and said, "Uncle, please give an order." ”

"Good!" Wang Xian was not polite to him, and said in a deep voice: "Almost starting tomorrow, the teams of lanterns from all over the country will enter Beijing. It is necessary to do a good job of searching, and they must not be allowed to enter Beijing with any weapons. After a pause, he said: "When entering the city, after the inspection is completed, everyone must register and make a register, and the address and length of stay in the capital will be registered, and the government will come to the door every day to check, one is to check whether people are missing for no reason, and the other is to check whether there are contraband." All theater troupes must be connected to protect each other, if one person has an accident, everyone sits together! ”

"This ......," Li Panxin said, this is too much like a great enemy, right? It really does not conform to the Confucian officials' governing taste of 'loose on the outside and tight on the inside'.

However, before Li Pan could speak, he saw Wang Xian with a serious face and said: "Lord Li, the capital is too big and there are too many people, and when the time comes, the carnival will be too chaotic for days, even if it is overkill, it will be difficult for us to avoid chaos." Saying that, he sighed, and said with a thick worry on his face: "I'm just afraid that these methods can only get rid of our involvement at best, but they won't help the right thing......

"Yes......" Feeling the heaviness in Wang Xian's heart, Li Pan couldn't help but nod and swallowed back what he was about to say......

The joint action of Jinyiwei and Shuntianfu has sharply strengthened the defense of all gates of the capital, and every citizen who enters the city, every car that enters the city, and every car that enters the city is subject to an unprecedentedly strict search. This made those opera troupes and lantern festivals sent by local governments to the capital to offer lanterns miserable...... Since the Tang and Song dynasties, China has had the custom of watching lanterns on the Shangyuan Festival. In the peaceful and prosperous era, in order to curry favor with the government, the local government will spend a lot of money to make a large-scale, delicate and beautiful lamp mountain, send hundreds of people to the lantern festival into Beijing, and set up lanterns at the Shangyuan node to add luster to the capital, in order to please the heavenly family smile.

So far, this kind of official lantern has evolved into a synonym for comparing strength and extravagance, and a lamp mountain is often several zhang high, composed of thousands of lanterns, and its delicacy and fragility can be imagined...... Although the assembly work was completed after entering Beijing, the parts of Dengshan are extremely delicate and complex, and they are very easy to be damaged. Along the way, the craftsmen of the Lantern Festival were cautious, caring for a car of lamps like a baby, but now they looked at those wolf-like officials, turning over the boxes at will, and pulling out the lamps inside......

What's even worse is that all gunpowder, firecrackers, fireworks, and even ignition materials were confiscated as contraband, and all lantern festivals were gone! The beauty of Dengshan is three points in the shape and seven points in the light and shadow! Without pyrotechnic effects, what's so nice about just a flower shelf? After seeing the encounters of the first few lantern festivals, the bosses of the lantern festivals in the back totaled, and they got it! We're not going into town! Camp out of the city! See what they do?!

Knowing that the owners of the Lantern Festival refused to enter the city, Li Pan hurriedly found Wang Xian: "Uncle, this is not a solution, how can there be no fireworks on the Shangyuan Festival?" ”

"In my eyes, those are not fireworks, they are weapons!" Wang Xian stood at the head of Zhengyangmen City, looked at the hill-like fireworks and gunpowder found in the open space outside the city, and said with a dark face: "It's too dangerous to put these things into Beijing City!" ”

"Uncle is a little worried, right? It's just fireworks...... "After all, Li Pan is a civilian official and doesn't understand the power of firearms.

"It's good fireworks, but a little modification is a weapon for killing people and setting fires!" Wang Xian said quietly. No wonder he was so nervous, according to the report of the Jinyi Wei Sixth Division, using a series of materials to make Dengshan, plus iron nails, charcoal, saltpeter and the like that could be bought at will from the capital, he could make countless powerful gunpowder weapons in a very short time. At that time, the crowd watching the lanterns is dense like porridge, and there is no need to deliberately aim at it, just a few random shots can create great panic, and then cause a terrible stampede...... That terrifying scene made Wang Xian shudder, so he would rather be scolded as a dog by the people of the capital, and he would also prevent those deadly things from entering Beijing.

However, Wang Xian could withstand the pressure of the whole capital, but he couldn't resist the will of the Supreme......

The next day, Wang Xian was personally interrogating the blacksmith of the White Lotus Sect in the yamen. Suddenly, Long Wuye rushed in panting and shouted, "My lord, it's not good! Shuntianfu opened the city gate, put those lanterns and enter the city! ”

"What?!" Wang Xian's face changed drastically, and he said, "Who gave Li Pan such a big guts?!" ”

After saying three steps and two steps, he arrived in the courtyard and shouted: "Zhou Yong! Assemble your team! ”

Long Wuye gasped at this time, and whispered to Wang Xian: "King Zhao seems to be in Zhengyangmen......

"What?!" Wang Xian's face changed, he had calmed down from the shock when he first heard the news, and knew that with King Zhao's current style of shrinking his head as a turtle, he suddenly appeared at this time, I am afraid that he must have been ordered by order.

At this time, Zhou Yong had already urgently gathered hundreds of Jinyi guards on duty and reported loudly: "Please command!" ”

"Disbanded." Wang Xian's face was very ugly.

"Yes!" Zhou Yong's conditioned voice responded, turned to his subordinates and ordered: "All listen to the order, disband!" After speaking, the officers and soldiers of the Jinyi Guard were dumbfounded, and Zhou Yong was also dumbfounded, so he looked at Wang Xian in a daze, not knowing what the adults meant.

"Didn't you hear? Disband. Wang Xian waved his hand very angrily and said to Zhou Yong: "Prepare the horse, you accompany me to Zhengyangmen." ”

"Yes." Although Zhou Yong was still confused, it did not prevent him from carrying out the order, turned his head and scolded his subordinates who were stunned there: "Didn't you hear? Disband! ”。

After a cup of tea, Wang Xian rushed to Zhengyangmen, and sure enough, he saw that the lantern convoy that had been stationed outside the city for two days had already passed through the city gate like a long line, entered the capital, and then scattered in the streets and alleys of Beijing......

Looking at the piles of firecrackers and bundles of fireworks on the car, Wang Xian only felt that his hands and feet were weak and his eyes were black, and he was stunned for a long time, motionless, without saying a word.

"Isn't this a loyal uncle?" It was still the voice of King Zhao that called Wang Xian back to God.

Wang Xian followed the sound and saw that King Zhao, accompanied by Li Pan, was coming down from the Zhengyangmen Tower.

"Lord Wang." Wang Xian hastily clenched his fists and asked coldly, "This is your masterpiece?" ”

"Uncle Zhong Yong praised it falsely," King Zhao said with a smile: "This king is just an empty prince, how can he have such power as Uncle Zhongyong?" In one sentence, all the lanterns that entered Beijing on behalf of the provinces and governments to congratulate the emperor on the relocation of the capital were all stopped outside Beijing. ”

"......" Wang Xian ignored the irony in King Zhao's words, and shouted in a deep voice: "This official is for the sake of the safety of the capital!" ”

"I think you just want to block the emperor!" King Zhao sneered: "To help your master create an illusion that the emperor has betrayed his relatives!" ”

"You!" Before Wang Xian could speak, Erhei behind him was already angry and said, "You spew blood!" ”

"What are you?!" King Zhao snorted coldly: "You are also worthy of shouting in front of this king?!" ”

"You!" Erhei's one-eyed blood red, and he was about to say something more, but when he saw Wang Xian raise his hand, he had no choice but to shut up.

"Li Fuyin," Wang Xian stared at Li Pan coldly and said, "Close the city gate immediately!" ”

"Impossible!" The one who answered him was not Li Pan, but Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao.
