「公公，我們到了。」轎外的隨侍太監說道。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4Q1dNuuM7

汪直掀起轎簾抬頭仰望門額，紅底金字的「中山武寧王府」，據說是從太祖御書摹勒而來。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKAgQY1x7g
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmZZ11kmV0
中山王徐達隨太祖朱元璋起義，一路南征北討，為大明朝開國功臣，只可惜朱元璋心胸容不下將才，洪武十七年，藉口天星卦象為「太陰數犯上將」不祥，命人除之。而徐達的長子徐輝祖也在靖難之變後，因反對朱棣篡位被削去爵位，禁錮家中，永樂五年猝逝。現在這座府第的主人乃是徐達的四世孫魏國庄靖公徐俌。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLFTaEDlcV

他的目光轉向身後的秦淮河，精緻奢華的樓館屋宇相連，朱扉綠窗上絲帳輕拂，珠簾搖曳，形容姣好的女子在珠簾後憑欄遠眺，姿影相映水中。燈火燦爛，連綿十里的臨水樓閣俗稱「舊院」，或「曲中」，是金陵城中最繁華綺豔的煙花之地。此時又是最熱鬧的時節，夜夜笙歌，不絕於耳。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcMxdyeILh

「大考結束了嗎？」汪直問道。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGKZamIfHh
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu9CZxDk36
「是的，今年的應天鄉試定在八月初一至八月初三。今日是初七，應考的秀才們剛考完。」隨侍太監回答。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIuBN8zqXX
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVABa8lwfLM
「學子一考完試，就忙著趕赴妓樓尋歡？」汪直說道。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y7hZsIbWT
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6Ri5t4I1R
金陵的繁華全挾秦淮河勢而行，北側以夫子廟為中心，四周連接著南京貢院、國子監、以及應天府學；與之隔川相望的南側，則是群芳爭艷的曲中，以及連街的茶館酒樓。每逢三年一度的鄉試，各地的秀才賢士集聚江南，自然少不了上花街尋花問柳，流連忘返。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjP317yzAv
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSff7sEMl3
也好，這計劃就是越多人知道越好。汪直心想。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG0spwXelS

「公公，諸位大人好像已經到了，我們進去吧？」轎外的隨侍問著，眼望府前空地停放的數輛馬車。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtv2GvEDeq
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSLxKOZqhG
「不，這回我們從後門進。」汪直回答。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBNEr2K3vd
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqQQ8NGIBv
汪直座轎避開中山王府前的大道，繞進小巷，座轎停在僕役行走的後門前，由隨侍攙扶他下轎，走進王府。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCtprWe10G
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoWdnz9C4g
現在的他作尋常商賈打扮，來此之前，他沿途換裝，又在幾個暗樁停留，這裡除了王府僕役，外人應該認不出他來。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdH2xSAXdF
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR7WIGRJcs
汪直在王府僕從的引領下，進入一處偏房。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG40HB52S1I
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDNBmWk9K1
「督公稍事歇息，國公正在議事，很快就會過來。」僕從說。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGPRATl0rl
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU58W1JJ1Qp
在離偏房有些距離的正廳，議事早已開始。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoQB526bTK
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIzsO5UxXY
廳中七張座椅有六人落座，坐在首座的是徐府之主，魏國庄靖公徐俌，下首是幾名儒生模樣的男子，右側是齊子紓，建文朝兵部尚書齊泰的後人；在他身旁的是方克復與黃綸，分別是建文朝翰林學士方孝孺的玄侄孫和太常寺卿黃子澄的後人，三人的先祖都是建文朝舊臣因拒絕向永樂帝臣服，齊、黃兩人被挫骨揚灰，誅三族；方遭凌遲，滅十族。齊、方、黃族後裔在仁宗皇帝時被赦免，沒有政治實力，卻是南朝著名的文人，也是忠於太祖一脈的正統表徵。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMTDlmDh3u
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBeaKXgURG
另外兩人分別是大理寺少卿謝瑺，南京禮部侍郎鄭時銓。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhjBhT62Kd
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9HafaZ99J
廳中主桌上攤開一本陳舊的卷本，卷名為《南京太常寺志》。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHkO0e2r6Q
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfut9cxAEcp
太常寺主掌禮樂郊廟社稷之事，凡冊立、祭祀、冠婚、征討，都由太常寺卿依禮俗祖制行之，由太常寺典簿明文記載。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ865DMeIc2z
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xT3cwuJuo
徐俌立於桌旁侃侃說道：「按理，太常寺志應收藏於文淵閣，然而記錄洪武、建文、永樂三朝的南京太常寺志全無蹤影，如同遭人刻意銷毀，老夫在費盡心力，訊問過無數太常寺官員後，終於找到了我手上這僅存的一本。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZQ6GGtnr6
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIROmRtmMk
他將書冊翻到末尾，向眾人點出一條關於孝陵神位的記載：「左一位淑妃李氏生懿文太子、秦愍王、晉恭王，右一位碽妃生成祖文皇帝，是皆享于陵殿，掌于祠官。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn69lB5dzRa
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh8b0yhv25

「竟有此事？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIN41Ai9gP
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkehhnDgEYy
在座者無不議論紛紛。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGsJq0CVKL
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFsRkJQqOg
「根據《永樂實錄》記載，成祖朱棣乃是太祖正宮馬皇后所生。」南京禮部侍郎鄭時銓言道。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1ppsxGNNK
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLux8BSgjGG
「那是朱棣後來偽造的。」大理寺少卿謝瑺起身發言，「朱棣非馬皇后嫡出，為登上大位，偽造自己的出身，實為碽妃所出，其生母乃是高麗人。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07GQ15JjQo
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsleOI8Jbg9
多數人向謝瑺投以懷疑的眼光。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFR1txpBXz
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxlNqsR7mg
徐俌高舉右手，示意所有人注意。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn7q0IflJa
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICLRa2YCV0
「大報恩寺前有座《禦制大報恩寺左碑》，碑文由永樂皇帝親自擬就，文中有這一段：『……輝煥一新，重造浮圖，高壯堅麗，度越前代，更名為『大報恩寺』，所以祇靈迎貺，上資福于皇妣……』碑文昭告天下，大報恩寺乃是永樂帝為報其母妃生養之恩所建。碑文中未提朱棣的生母是誰，但是依照祭儀，興建佛塔時，必須將興塔的原由，刻於鐵碑，並將鐵碑埋於地基。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mJcRFOYi2
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MqcPMpJKR
徐俌揮了揮手，便有五名家丁抬來一大塊鐵碑，鐵碑上有鏽蝕的痕跡，還沾有泥土，似乎是從地底挖出來的。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZnwfEPPtL
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcik1DHpfCm
「原以為這碑深埋於大報恩寺的地基之中，誰知先帝在『廣西僧人，詭稱建文皇帝』一案後，命人挖了出來，藏於某處，足見他心中有愧。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuple1JEWSs
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq35dbxhSb
眾人聚攏一看，鐵碑上果然寫著建塔的由來：303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CDK6aH2xi
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicr9SQOFgp
永樂十年，北遷，欲報碽母妃深恩，于六月十五日午時起工。敕工部侍郎黃立恭依大內圖式，造九級五色琉璃寶塔一座，曰第一塔，以揚母妃之德。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuIoAQJ5Ce
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneCp0uDMvF
「燕王朱棣果然不是馬皇后所生。」方孝儒玄侄孫方克復嘆道。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4UwJ7TvDA
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTDJFYhtEl
連稱呼都改了。不稱成祖，改稱舊時封號燕王。
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr8D5uGO1t
徐俌點了點頭。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8rKJLNIhQ
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsafwAFgJ3
為了這塊碑拓，可費了好一番功夫。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjXVw1gt0V
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYdLQHnmq5
是汪直帶領西廠先抄了江寧織造局，又封死曲府，逼死曲家滿門。派出五城兵馬司使役四處查抄，最後才在曲府夾層密室裡找到這塊鐵碑。他早有耳聞，先帝當年將琉璃塔中的石碑，交由信任的曲名海掩藏。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbHJhThn2L
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBowfQAOevG
這一切都是為了成就大業。

齊泰后人齊子紓說道：「多年以來，朝廷和坊間皆盛傳，燕王朱棣的身世大為可疑，卻一直無人深究。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PftMrRFod
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagVoJ6EWAV
「這碽妃究竟是誰，為何朱棣會竄改其生母為馬皇后？」方克復再問。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWOo1iF9pI
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXhADjhdf1
「下官曾由內監手中，獲得太祖后宮的宮正司典記。」大理寺少卿謝瑺翻開手中卷冊，展示碽妃的記錄，以供眾人傳閱。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5tBRboGaq
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sOEYpW6KD
碽妃私通生子，受鐵裙之刑。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkcOEYk0JA
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1qQI0ov9B
鐵裙之刑向來是施於對帝王不忠、與人私通的妃嬪。 303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3iL27qvpQ
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBdL9bCLj1
謝瑺續道：「碽妃是高麗以結盟的名義，獻與太祖為妃，但無人知曉碽妃在離開高麗時已與人私通。她被納入太祖後宮七個月，便產下足月的燕王朱棣。當時陳友諒攻陷太平路，建國稱帝，太祖在外出兵征討，未發現此子出身可疑。回宮之後，太祖大怒，以鐵裙之刑處死碽妃。原本還命令侍從摔死還是嬰兒的朱棣，是心慈的馬皇后堅持留下孩子，親自養育。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiKo14uXoi

廳內像是沸油淋水一般，頓時炸開了，在座者無不紛紛議論。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxhWWalIdR
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYDYe5Sn4A
「朱棣之後，是仁宗朱高熾、宣宗朱瞻基、英宗朱祁鎮，加上當今皇帝，他們非但不是太祖血脈，甚至不是漢人，而是高麗人的子孫。」黃綸說。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0rmp5Mx9z
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWCpb6LsDl
「原來我朝一直任由血統不正之人竊居帝位。」方克復也說。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokX1PHfY8A
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj8X2N73o1
鄭時銓點了點頭，說：「馬皇后當年的一念之慈，竟使外族後裔魚目混珠，篡奪大明朝的江山。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFlw55eOXJ
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8SleH3sAc
這真是諷刺啊！徐俌忍不住在內心竊笑。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjdcL57tq2
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIfEtQlbbL
太祖皇帝的子嗣中，就屬朱棣最像他，兩人一般的猜忌寡恩、倒行逆施，誰知這個兒子，竟是他人骨血。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJerNKznh5g
