40. Wise self-preservation

85_85279 I knew that the best possible thing was this, but I was still shocked to learn the truth. If King Yan really bought these gunpowders, it means that he has something to do with the Jiaozhi Kingdom, and he will definitely not be able to escape the responsibility of this envoy's visit.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Yue Longcheng smiled slightly, "You're not someone who hasn't seen the world, so this scares you?" ”

"King Yan himself is the prince, the emperor must be the most relieved to hand over the military power to him, he can't do it himself in order to strengthen the army, right?" I said with a weak heart.

"You're right, King Yan really didn't buy gunpowder for any selfish motives, the gunpowder he bought was just used in King Yan's Shenji Battalion to deal with the Mongolian deserters. Besides, he's just a very small buyer, a really big buyer, and someone else. ”

"What?" I was getting more and more confused, "Say it quickly, don't sell it!" ”

Yang Ying saw that he had made a fortune here in Yanwang, and his heart was ambitious, and he wanted to make more money, so he waited for an opportunity to find a bigger buyer. That's why he made friends with officialdom everywhere. ”

My eyes lit up, "You mean, this bigger buyer is General Blue!" ”

Yue Longcheng looked at me appreciatively, "Yes, the buyer is General Lanyu, but there is also a matchmaker in the middle, because Yang Ying can't touch Lanyu at all." This matchmaker is our commander-in-chief. ”

Now I was really shocked and my jaw dropped.

Jiang Xuan, that is, our current commander-in-chief, is recorded in history as the whistleblower of the Lanyu case and the main manpower in handling the case, it is he who will behead more than 10,000 people in a row in the next year. And he himself was finally cut down by Zhu Yuanzhang to relieve the anger of the people.

Could it be that these later events are all related to what happened now, but history has not recorded them?

"But...... But the commander-in-chief, who is in charge of so many brocade guards and has access to so many confidential matters, is valued by the emperor himself, why should he do this? ”

Yue Longcheng sneered a few times, "People die for money, and birds die for food." Even if he became the commander-in-chief, he was just a military attache of the third grade. Moreover, since Hu Weiyong's case ended three years ago, the emperor announced that he had removed Jinyiwei in order to hide people's eyes, and we have been secretly handling cases in the past few years. Except for the emperor who knows our position, no one knows. Where can I compare to those officials with bright scenery? You look at General Lan Yu, relying on his identity as the founding father, the mansion is about to catch up with the palace, and the furnishings inside are said to be really more luxurious than the palace. Once a person is famous and profitable, he must change and think about things that he should not think. ”

I know what Yue Longcheng means, in Lan Yu's mind, these things that shouldn't be thought about are: I am also a person who fights the country, I am also holding military power now, and I am also a rich country, why can you Zhu Yuanzhang be the emperor, I can't?

Therefore, he used his power for personal gain, slowly collected gunpowder, and wanted to strengthen his army, and when a certain time came, he could ......

"You say, what are we going to do? Do you want to report it to the emperor? "Yue Long Cheng interrupted my thoughts.

"If you report to the emperor, even if the emperor is grateful for our whistleblowing, he will still miscalculate it on the head of our Jinyiwei, who called Jiang Zheng our leader? It's really hard to do. "I don't dare to assert myself.

Yue Longcheng listened to my words, and his brows were even more twisted, "I just said that no one can make up their minds." Hey, forget it, let's secretly investigate this matter, figure out the ins and outs, and then act on the opportunity. You taught me to protect myself. ”

I twisted his arm, "You're selling this good guy now." Let's go back, it's almost dawn. If there is anything, find a chance to discuss it again. Don't expose it, let the commander know that we know his secret, and we're both dead. ”。
