Chapter 580 Zhu Yunwen under house arrest
In the first half of the imperial city, there are usually some palaces with strong political nature, and there are also some yamen that often come into contact with the emperor, such as the Taimiao, which will be used as a prison. However, the Fengyang Imperial City is quite special. After the imperial city is built, it has never been used, so some reconstructions have been made in the front of the imperial city.
For example, in the southeast corner of the imperial city, it was originally the Taimiao of the Ming Dynasty, which enshrines the throne of the old Zhu and his son and others. Next to the Taimiao, a courtyard was built for people to live in, and Zhu Yunwen was placed under house arrest.
When Li Jie came outside the gate of this courtyard, an imperial guard immediately stepped forward to block it. All of these imperial guards were drawn from the imperial guards in the imperial city of Beijing. They were rotated every two years to prevent someone from being bribed. Their responsibilities were also very simple, which was to strictly prohibit anyone from contacting Zhu Yunwen.
Of course, Li Jie was not within the prohibition range. After all, Zhu Yunwen was captured by him personally, and even the imperial guards sent here were selected by Li Jie. After all, Zhu Yunyu rushed to the post and was not familiar with many things, so Li Jie also helped him handle many things.
The general who was in charge of guarding Zhu Yunwen was named Qin Wu. He knew Li Jie when he was in the capital, so he was very enthusiastic when he saw him and even accompanied Li Jie into the courtyard in person.
"What's wrong with King Huai's family coming to Fengyang?" Li Jie asked Qin Wu as he walked.
King Huai was the official title given to Zhu Yunwen by Zhu Yunwen. Although Zhu Yunwen intended to rebel, he had to deal with it in a low-key manner because it was inconvenient to announce it, and even gave him the corresponding title. However, the princes of the Ming Dynasty usually used local titles, such as King Yan, King Qin, etc. In comparison, the title of King Huai seemed a bit inappropriate.
However, Li Jie knew the origin of the title of King Huai. Because the so-called word "Huai" is actually a love of "willingness", and the pronunciation of "was similar to bad", so this title is very suitable for Zhu Yunwen. Of course, these are all Zhu Yunwen's little thoughts, and outsiders don't know it at all.
"Your husband, after the prince consort, after coming to Fengyang, the prince Huai family seemed very calm, and he usually enjoyed reading and writing. At the first and fifteenth day of every month, he would sacrifice to the direction of the Taimiao." Qin Wu replied immediately.
"I didn't expect that he still had the ability to be content with everything, and he did not disappoint Emperor Taizu's training." Li Jie couldn't help but smile when he heard this. After all, Zhu Yunwen was demoted to Fengyang for the second time. He should be able to adapt in a short period of time, but after a long time, only God knows.
"Have you heard about the things in the city?" Li Jie continued to ask again.
"I heard some of it. It is said that you were almost attacked at the city gate. Now this incident is spreading in the city, and I just heard some rumors." Qin Wu also looked at Li Jie with some confusion when he said this. He really couldn't figure out how anyone thought of attacking Li Jie? You know that this is the charge of extermination of the nine clans?
"Does King Huai know about this?" Li Jie asked again.
"I definitely don't know. When we came, Your Majesty had issued an order to seriously contact King Huai with the outside world, including us, we cannot disclose the outside world news to King Huai and the people around him, so King Huai should know nothing about the outside world's situation!"
Li Jie shook his head helplessly when he heard this. Although Zhu Yunyu failed to sue Zhu Yunwen, he had many small actions. Not only did he put him under house arrest in Fengyang, but he also prohibited him from receiving any external news. This was equivalent to completely isolating Zhu Yunwen's family from the outside world. It may not be anything in a short period of time, but over time, I am afraid that Zhu Yunwen's family will be out of touch with the entire society.
"Let's go, take me to see him!" Li Jie ordered again. Qin Wu agreed and immediately took Li Jie through the front yard and walked towards the inner house inside.
Although Zhu Yunwen was under house arrest, he was Zhu Yunwen's brother and one of the princes of the Ming Dynasty, so his treatment here is not bad. The entire courtyard is quite large. Although it is not as large as the royal palace, it is also quite large. There are also many slaves in the courtyard. In addition to the princess, Zhu Yunwen also has a concubine and several concubines.
Moreover, if Zhu Yunwen has any requirements, as long as he does not violate Zhu Yunwen's previous ban, Qin Wu and others will try their best to satisfy him. For example, if Zhu Yunwen wants to read a book, they will find a way to collect books and send them.
So if Zhu Yunwen completely gave up his ambition and was willing to live here and wait for death, he might be more comfortable than outside. Of course, the only thing that is not good is that he has no freedom.
Li Jie's arrival quickly alarmed Zhu Yunwen, so when Li Jie met the other party, Zhu Yunwen had already made tea. When he saw him, he pointed casually and said, "Sit up, was the second brother who sent you?"
Zhu Yunwen still did not recognize Zhu Yunwen's throne, so he did not have any respect in his words. However, Li Jie was lazy to pay attention to it. He sat across from Zhu Yunwen and said, "Your Majesty is not at ease to send me to see you. I'm just passing by Fengyang."
"Passing by? Are you going to Nanjing?" Zhu Yunwen asked curiously when he heard this. It seemed that he really knew nothing about the outside world, and he didn't even know that Li Jie made such a big noise in Nanjing.
"It's not that you want to go to Nanjing, but come back from Nanjing." Li Jie sat opposite Zhu Yunwen and corrected, then picked up the teacup and took it and took it. He was not worried that Zhu Yunwen would poison him. In fact, Zhu Yunwen could not find any poison here.
"What did you do in Nanjing?" Zhu Yunwen asked curiously after hearing this. After he was placed under house arrest in Fengyang, the information from the outside was completely isolated, and the imperial guards outside would not have any communication with him, so only through Li Jie can we find out some situations outside.
"I went to handle a big case. Du Zheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, stole millions of stones of food in Taicang, and this was just one of the cases they committed. Many of their crimes were found later, such as buying and selling official positions, embezzlement and bribery, etc., so this time I overturned the entire Jiangnan officialdom." Li Jie replied casually.
"You really dare to arrest people?" Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but ask in shock when he heard this. Those were hundreds of officials. Who would help the court manage the local area if they arrested them?
"What's there to dare? It's hard to find a toad with three legs. There are living people with two legs everywhere. There are no them in the yamen, and there are so many clerks. Isn't it enough to just promote a few?" Li Jie replied casually again.
When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he was shocked and pointed at Li Jie and asked in disbelief: "You... have you actually used the transfer of officials to the Ming Dynasty?"
