120 Yan Wang's scheming

King King Jin of Chengenbo has the appearance of Zhang Fei, but he hides the heart of a Zhuge military advisor.

The trip to Fengyang, along the way with a full earl's guard of honor, the gong opened the way, the pomp and circumstance, swaggering forward, along the road Yichen county officials have set up a banquet to entertain and welcome, Wang Jingang happily went to the banquet, rarely pushed, and did not hurry.

Wang Jingang feasted on Emperor Hongwu's various praises, although many people behind him despised him as a subordinate, but they also had to admire the earl's kung fu with a lotus tongue, no wonder Emperor Hongwu would be so fond of him.

Wang Jingang moved forward unhurriedly, without the slightest suspicion, even Zhu Di was deceived, and he did not suspect that he had bought Liba Thorn and Xu Miaoyi along the way.

Wang Jingang is still like this, and no one suspects Deng Ming and Deng Ling, the initiators! Who would have thought that Deng Ming would hold a grudge because of Xu Miaoyi's insistence on refusing to give birth to her, and come up with a way to drug Miaoyi to insult Miaoyi, so as to ruin her life!

Deng Ling even had the audacity to borrow the hand of the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to provoke the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty, treating human life and peace as dung, just to force the princess of Qin and Wang Yinnu to abdicate and satisfy the selfish desires of the two brothers and sisters.

The two secret murderers were so hidden that they didn't play their cards according to common sense, and the result was, of course, that everyone in Jinling could break their legs and find nothing.

The prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty disappeared, the envoys sprinkled dignitaries in the Siyi Pavilion, the thieves shouted to catch the thieves, Zhu Di ordered people to leak the water around the Siyi Pavilion, and the entire mission was detained.

The two countries are at war and do not come to the envoy, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan are currently in a state of truce. The envoys can't beat, scold, or kill, Zhu Di ordered people to serve them with good food and drink, and the envoys' generous treatment remained unchanged - only they were not allowed to sleep!

On average, five Yanwang Mansion soldiers "serve" an envoy, as long as the other party closes his eyes for more than a tea time, he will immediately forcibly wake up, all kinds of refreshing tea and even precious ice cubes are enough, the attitude of the soldiers is also very respectful, when the envoy is sleepy, take turns to help chat and solve the difficulty, from how you feel today, what you want to eat, to your mother's health and so on. Just after a few topics, I immediately routinely ask the usual questions:

"What is the real purpose of your coming to Daming?"

"Who are the supporters behind this?"

"Where is the prince of the Northern Yuan?"

……

Regardless of whether the other party responded or not, the soldiers of the Yanwang Mansion took the trouble to ask, and so repeated the cycle, at first the envoys of the Northern Yuan Dynasty thought it was child's play and scoffed. But on the third day, there were already envoys who couldn't stand the mental devastation and began to tell the truth, and all kinds of black materials from the court and the opposition of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were endless:

"Emperor Xuanguang was not in good health after succeeding to the throne and had been sick several times. The prince has not returned for a long time, the storage position is uncertain, and the Empress Dowager Qi is worried that there will be no successor, so for the sake of the heir, she chooses a woman who is easy to look like to enter the palace. Empress Quan was worried that after having other princes, the prince who was a hostage in the Ming Dynasty would become an abandoned son, and she was dissatisfied with the queen mother's draft, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a gap, and the secret fight continued, and the bloody ...... of the Dayuan court"

"I am under the secret order of the Queen Mother to test the prince's loyalty to the motherland and the golden family, if the prince has succumbed to the power of the Ming Dynasty and become a vassal, he should take into account the overall situation and break his arm to survive......"

is worthy of being a strange woman who controlled the government in the last years of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and in order to continue her control over the imperial power, she did not hesitate to sacrifice her own grandson.

"The woman selected by the Queen Mother from the Mongolian Oirat tribe has given birth to a prince and has been crowned a concubine. Mahamu, the leader of the Oirat tribe, gave me 200 head of cattle and a pasture, suggesting that I would come to Daming to get rid of the son...... No, no! Not me! I don't have the ability to do it to the world, and I don't have the guts, it's just for show. ”

is related to military affairs, Zhu Di gave these back to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and said: "Even a small delegation has its own ghosts, and it is not of the same heart and mind, it can be seen that the people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are disheartened, and the golden family is exhausted. ”

Zhu Di said: "On the spot, some envoys defected and surrendered, saying that they would go back and take their families and relatives and friends to join the Ming Dynasty, and they came out with all kinds of confidential information of the Northern Yuan, which shows that the father's strategy of surrendering to the Northern Yuan Huairou this year is indeed effective." They have already begun to mess up from within, not only the Golden Family, but also the entire Northern Yuan, including the Mongol tribes, will soon fall apart. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, slightly relieved, "You did a good job, this information is very important to Daming." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang seized the position of the right sect order of Zhu Dizong's mansion and gave it to the third prince, and seeing that the fourth son had nothing to do, he temporarily investigated the disappearance of the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty with the newly established Jinyiwei.

It's just that now when he heard his father's praise, Zhu Di had no sense of accomplishment in his heart, he was worried about Xu Miaoyi's safety, but it was not good to show it in front of his father, so he had to say politely:

"The prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty designed to kidnap the fifth brother as a hostage last year, so as to escape from the Ming Dynasty, but fortunately, with the help of the eldest lady of the Xu family, the fifth brother was safe and sound. Now that Miss Xu and the prince of Beiyuan have disappeared at the same time, it is likely that they were kidnapped by the prince, first, with the intention of revenge, and secondly, to use this as a handle to threaten the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "It's still too early to make a conclusion, and the eight thorns I bought are not such reckless and simple people." In fact, if the prince kidnapped Xu Miaoyi, it would be good to say, we blocked the border pass, and searched strictly along the way, and we would always find clues to find it. ”

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't mention Xu Miaoyi's safety, and his attention was all on the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Di secretly felt a little cold: Miaoyi saved her fifth brother and still protected the city wall - even if it was for the sake of Wei Guogong's face, she shouldn't ignore Miaoyi......

Thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Wei Guogong is the first hero of the Ming Dynasty, you have to appease well, don't slack off, Xu Miaoyi can save it, if you really can't-"

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and said: "No matter the state or family affairs, we must focus on the overall situation and not show favoritism. I have always taken this as a warning, and Wei Guogong is a loyal minister, and he knows how to choose. ”

The implication is that the main task is to keep the eight thorns that I bought, and Xu Miaoyi's safety is not important. Zhu Di was shocked in his heart, and secretly thought that if the Liba Thorn he bought last year successfully kidnapped his younger brother, I am afraid that his father would also choose to sacrifice Zhu Hu......

Zhu Di only felt cold in his heart, and said: "Wei Guogong sent people to Yanwangfu and Jinyiwei several times a day to ask for news, Xu Zengshou simply lived in Yanwangfu and refused to leave, the father and son of the Xu family were very concerned about Xu Miaoyi, if something really happened to her, the Xu family was afraid that it would not be easy to appease, and Erchen felt that the safety of Miss Xu was also very important——"

Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted: "This Xu Miaoyi does have some ability, but she is stubborn, stubborn, and insists on interfering in Xie Zaixing's case. I see that she has been in the market for many years, and she no longer knows what the rules are and what a woman's duty is. I hope that this time she can eat a trench and grow wise, and don't add chaos to the family and the country again. ”

Xu Miaoyi bought the eight thorns in the restaurant at a private meeting, which Mao Xiang told Zhu Yuanzhang. No matter what the purpose of the two people meeting, it is disgraceful for a lonely man and a widow to meet in the middle of the night.

Zhu Di couldn't help but explain to Xu Miaoyi: "The prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is very cunning, he will take advantage of Miss Xu's eagerness to find the weakness of Xie Zaixing's case and lure her out of the house. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said dissatisfiedly: "The woman is not married to her father, she is the daughter of the Xu family, why is she always entangled with the past of the Xie family?" Although Xie Zaixing's case was full of fog, after Xie Zaixing's rebellion, he personally brought Zhang Shicheng's army to attack us! Everyone on the battlefield has seen it, can this be fake? ”

"No matter how many doubts there are about the death of Luan Feng and her husband, including the clues that someone secretly intercepted her to investigate the case, and even set fire to her, the person behind it is indeed hateful, I have already ordered Jinyi Wei to keep an eye on it, and I will never give up. But can these change the fact that Xie Zaixing is plotting rebellion? I trusted Xie Zaixing so much back then, and married him as a family of children. also arranged the marriage between his daughter and Wei Guogong, and treated the Xie family well, but it was Xie Zaixing who betrayed me, and the Xie family died innocently! ”

said that in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously angry, he remembered the embattled difficulties of the year, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "When I and Chen Youliang fought to the death, Xie Zaixing stabbed him in the back. You were only eight years old at the time, and I was afraid that you would not be able to escape death. It's only been a few years of stable life, and you have forgotten the hardships of the year? ”

Zhu Di hurriedly said: "Erchen dare not forget, Erchen will always remember the years when the queen mother took us to flee and migrate, the fifth brother was sick on the road, his body was as hot as coals, and he couldn't find medicine at that time, and the fifth brother almost didn't survive, at that time Erchen swore that he would quickly become stronger, help his father calm the country, and never live that kind of turbulent life again." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "In that case, why are you still helping Xu Miaoyi investigate Xie Zaixing's case?" ”

At this time, of course, Zhu Di couldn't tell the truth, he explained: "Because Erchen thinks that Xu Miaoyi is a person who values love and righteousness." Back then, she followed Hua Mulan's example to join the army for her brother and served as a military doctor in the Northern Expeditionary Army, in order to reunite her brother's family. After returning to the Xu family, she learned of the tragic death of her grandfather and mother, she felt that she could not enjoy wealth in vain, so she decided to find out the old case ten years ago. ”

Unknowingly, Zhu Di, who was absolutely obedient to his father, had already begun to lie.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Jinyiwei is already investigating, do you think my henchmen army can't compare to a Xu Miaoyi?" ”

"Jin Yiwei is the elite selected by his father, of course, he is much stronger than Xu Miaoyi, but in the Xie Zaixing case, Jin Yiwei does not have an advantage." Zhu Di replied fluently and said:

"My father often taught his sons to look more at the facts than at people's words. And the current fact is that almost all the key clues in Xie Zaixing's case were found by Xu Miaoyi, and Jinyiwei had little effect. The son's help to her is actually a kind of supervision, and she secretly tells Jinyiwei and her father the news she knows at any time. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "How can this be reasonable, the shore of the land is not the king's minister, is Xu Miaoyi going to insist on hiding it from me." ”

Zhu Di said: "This girl has experienced great changes in her childhood, and her personality is suspicious and paranoid, but she does have extraordinary talent and has made a lot of contributions. ”

Listening to his son's words seemed to make sense, Zhu Yuanzhang changed his words and said: "Okay, on the premise of protecting the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, try to protect Xu Miaoyi's safety." Keeping her alive can reveal the real culprit behind the scenes. When I think that these people have the ability to do these things under my nose, I can't sleep and eat, these people are members of the DPRK, who are they? I've got to get him out! ”

Zhu Di returned to Yanwang's Mansion from the palace, his mansion was actually not completed, only half built, originally wanted to find a suitable opportunity to show Xu Miaoyi the style of the drawings, such as the house, pond, and landscape of the inner house, and asked her to personally choose what she liked, so as to confess her heart again, thinking that she must be happy, but she was gone......

Xu Zengshou had already stayed in Yanwang's Mansion and refused to leave, and when he saw Zhu Di coming back, he hurriedly ran over and asked, "How is it?" Any news? Where is my sister......"

Zhu Di turned a deaf ear, he recalled today's Q&A with his father in the imperial study, and unconsciously realized that the frank dialogue between father and son had already used the strategy of figuring out the contingency of the monarch and minister, but for Xu Miaoyi's safety, it was all worth it. 166 Reading Network
