Seeing that Ye Dexing had finished drinking the tea, Zhang Shicheng also put down his tea cup and said, "It's really a bit hasty to ask General Ye to investigate a servant in such a short time!"

"Investigation...?" The man in black was startled and looked at Zhang Shicheng with wide eyes. His heart moved: "Could it be that my father sent General Ye to investigate Xiao San? This...?"

I only heard Ye Dexing say: "Your Majesty said something serious. As a minister, you should be loyal to the emperor. Don't say that your Majesty only allows you to investigate one person in a humble position. Even if you go to the mountain of knives or go to the sea of ​​fire, you will not hesitate to do so!"

Zhang Shicheng seemed to have great trust in Ye Dexing. He nodded and said: "General Ye's loyalty can be learned from the sun and the moon. How could I not know? Is there anything wrong with the person I asked the general to find out?"

Ye Dexing said: "Your Majesty, as soon as I received your Majesty's order, I immediately conveyed the news to the Wenzhou area. Secret spies hidden in Wenzhou, Ningbo, and Taizhou areas quickly launched an investigation. They dressed up as pirates, and tourists went around to inquire about the information?

After some investigation...?"

"Is there such a person?" Zhang Shicheng's heart tightened. The man in black beside him was also shocked, "Could it be that this Xiao San is not a servant? Yes, how can a servant know so much, and since last night he

Judging from his martial arts skills, it is obvious that he has been taught by famous teachers, and overall, his demeanor, knowledge, and literary talents are definitely not what a servant should have. Could it be...? "The man in black looked at Ye Dexing involuntarily.

After talking for a long time, Ye Dexing seemed to be really thirsty. At this moment, he didn't care about the polite way to drink. He grabbed a cup and slurped it a few times. A cup of Biluochun, a good cup, went into his stomach, and then he vomited.

He took a breath and said: "Reporting to your majesty, after a humble investigation, it was found that Xiao San was not found in Wenzhou area. Even the Fang family does not know who Xiao San's surname is?"

Zhang Shicheng frowned after listening for a while: "There is no such person. In this way, this person was taken in by Fang Taiping as a servant after arriving in Suzhou. A servant can have such literary talent, even General Bo Sheng

None of his sons is his opponent. What’s even more strange is his martial arts. I seem to have seen him somewhere? "

"What surprised me even more is that this person seems to have the ability to predict the future. He actually knew that Bao'er would sneak into Beiyuan tonight and made an ambush in advance. If I hadn't arrived in time, Bao'er's identity would have been leaked...?

People are not simple. General, never give up your vigilance?"

Ye Dexing nodded and said: "Your majesty, please rest assured that you will be easy to investigate in your humble position?"

Zhang Shicheng nodded, thought about it secretly, and said: "General Ye will pay more attention to the investigation. However, no matter how powerful this person is, he is just a housekeeper and will not be able to achieve anything. Besides, starting from today, the North

The garden is under my supervision, so I’m afraid he can’t make any trouble. Our goal is Fang Taiping. The date of the agreement should be sooner rather than later, and it must be implemented as soon as possible. Otherwise, I am afraid that the night will be long and the dream will be too much!"

"I understand your humble position!" Ye Dexing responded, turned around and left.

Zhang Shicheng glanced at the man in black and said: "Bao'er, you go too and be prepared. Wen Ding is my last magic weapon to defeat Zhu Yuanzhang, and there must be no room for error?"

"My dear, I understand!" The man in black bowed and nodded, turning to one side and ducking away.

In the Canglang Pavilion, Zhang Shicheng looked at the two figures gradually getting away, and his eyes suddenly shot out a killing blow. The elegance just now was completely gone. He put his hands behind his back, raised his head and looked at the bright starry sky, and murmured: "Zhu Yuanzhang is

Have you taken action?"

Eight years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang personally led his troops to attack "Jiqing" in three directions. It took him ten days to defeat "Jiqing" and changed Jiqing's name to "Yingtian". This ancient city was in his hands. After the brilliance came out, guests from all over the world gathered, including merchants and literati. They all came inexplicably, especially the palace of King Wu. After Zhu Yuanzhang occupied it, he began to build the palace. Originally, this place was surrounded by mountains and rivers in Tianfu, and there was not enough space to build a large-scale palace. The palace, but Zhu Yuanzhang is Zhu Yuanzhang, a commoner in Huaiyou. Originally there was nothing, and now there is nothing to be afraid of. He just ordered people to build this palace, with the Purple Mountain on its back, and the Yanque Lake. After several years of construction, , built a magnificent palace of King Wu.

However, this palace is huge after all. It took eight years to build. The scale of the palace is limited. There are only the outer court and inner court buildings in the middle road. No palaces were built in the open space on the east and west sides. The new palace is more than 200 feet wide from east to west and more than 200 feet long from north to south. Zhang, there are four gates, the Meridian Gate in the south, the Donghua Gate in the east, the Xihua Gate in the west, and the Xuanwu Gate in the north. Entering the Meridian Gate is Fengtian Gate, and the main hall is Fengtian Hall inside. In front of the hall are Wenlou and Wulou on the left and right. Behind the Fengtian Hall are the Huagai Hall and the Jinshen Hall. The inner court includes the Qianqing Palace, the Kunning Palace, and the Six East and West Palaces. Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Yingtian Palace was called Nanjing, Kaifeng was called Beijing, and the Zhongdu City was built in Fengyang the following year. .Since all manpower and material resources were concentrated on the construction of the Zhongdu City and Palace, the expansion work of Nanjing Palace was once again terminated.

In the following years, only necessary repairs were carried out on the existing palaces, but the scale was not large. It was not until the eighth year of Hongwu that Zhu Yuanzhang gave up the plan to build the Central Capital and concentrated on building Nanjing. In this construction, two towers on the left and right of the Meridian Gate were added. East and west corner gates were added to the left and right of Fengtian Gate, and buildings such as Wenhua Hall and Wuying Hall were built. In the 25th year of Hongwu (1392), another addition was made, and a palace wall was added outside the imperial city, and the imperial city was built within the new wall. , the original imperial city was renamed the Palace City. In front of the Palace City, Duanmen, Chengtianmen, and Jinshui Bridge were built, forming a "T" shaped square, going south to the Hongwu Gate built in 1373. On the east side of the square are Wubu (the Ministry of Punishment is in (Outside the Taiping Gate in the north of the imperial city), and on the west side is the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. The entire imperial palace was completed for the first time.
