Nalan Jinxiu could feel that Ji Hongxuan's feelings for her were still not pure. He is a long-term person, and since he is moved, it is impossible to forget it easily. All she could do for him was distance himself so that he could dispel the idea.

Ji Hongxuan and the Ninth Princess are of the right age, as long as the Ninth Princess can restrain her temperament and no longer be as willful and reckless as before, this should also be a relatively happy marriage.

Although their relationship is not very good now, Ji Hongxuan has a good nature, and he wants to wait for the child to be born, thinking of this affection, he will also treat the ninth princess well.

I hope he can let go of this hopeless relationship as soon as possible, I hope he will no longer be despised because of his background, I hope he and the Ninth Princess can finally let go of their previous suspicions, and I hope that the rest of his life will be smooth......

In the past two days, there has really been no peace in Jinling City, and even ordinary people can feel the crisis.

The streets are usually patrolled by only patrol battalions, but recently the number of patrols has been three times as high. And there are often actions to clear the road, and there are daily door-to-door checks.

The people didn't know what the officials were looking for, or if they were looking for someone, but they knew that a large number of troops were moving through the streets every day.

They are fierce and vicious, and their attitudes are very bad, if they are slightly unhappy, they will start beating people, and the people live in fear.

There are even more excessive, when you go in to look for something, you see a good thing and take it away from others. The people dared not speak out, and one or two of the more daring ones sued the yamen.

The people in the yamen did not dare to take care of these people, so everyone in Jinling City was in danger. Many people are afraid to go out anymore, for fear that disaster will come from heaven.

Ji Hongye came out of the Criminal Department and took a carriage to enter the palace, but the atmosphere was unusually quiet all the way. When I walked into the usually bustling street, there was still no sound of hawkers.

He reached out and opened the curtain of the car, and saw that the whole street was empty, and occasionally he could see one or two pedestrians, who were also walking with their heads down, as if they wanted to hurry home.

"What's going on in this city lately?" asked Ji Hongye.

It was still Ye Bing who was driving the car, but there was still Long Yi sitting next to him. Long Yi listened to Ji Hongye's question and replied: "There are people in the city who are searching every day, which makes people panic. ”

"What are you looking for?"

"My subordinates don't know. Long Yi replied truthfully.

"How long has this been the case?"

The saint's body has become more and more useless, and in the past few days, he has almost always been resting in bed, and his mind is also confused, sometimes clear, sometimes not clear.

A lot of heavy burdens were put on the cabinet at once, and as the head of the cabinet, he basically had no free time. What's even more tricky is that there are many people in the DPRK who are ready to move.

The saint has never announced the candidate for the prince, which was discussed with Ji Hongye before. Only when the holy limit is approaching, can the edict be taken out, so that those who have different intentions can be caught off guard.

If the candidate for the prince is determined in advance, I am afraid that he will be killed. When the saint dies, the new monarch can naturally succeed to the throne, so many pairs of eyes in the entire Daning are staring, and those people want to do it, but it is not easy to be afraid.

It is precisely because of this consideration that the canonization decree has been delayed for a long time. This makes it difficult for those princes who are expected to inherit to settle down like ants on a hot pot.

Although they have ideas in their hearts, no one wants to carry the eternal infamy of killing their father and killing the king, so they are still waiting for the end. I hope that the Holy Lord can take a fancy to them, so that they can inherit the throne justifiably.

These days are the busiest times since Ji Hongye joined the company. Busy with official affairs, every time it is two points and one line, naturally there is no time to take into account these changes in the people.

"Let people find out, and I will find out tonight who is causing trouble in the city. ”

Ji Hongye is a native of Jinling, and he knows best what kind of prosperous scene Jinling should be. Now that the streets are so depressed, you don't have to think that someone must be doing it.

"The subordinates ordered someone to investigate. Long Yi's attitude was very respectful, and he felt that the third master seemed to be unhappy.

Sure enough, Ji Hongye said again after he finished speaking: "Although I am busy during this time, I know that you are all tired and lack skills. However, at this time, we must be in good spirits and must not be negligent. I think you're well aware of what's at stake, but if you're not careful, you're likely to be doomed. ”

The things that Long Yi and Ye Bing had to take care of were all ordered by the third master, and they were not considered people in the power struggle. But because he was by the side of the third master, he also deeply felt the blood, danger and killing of the prince.

Anything that happens at this time will not be trivial. As long as one party doesn't pay attention, it will really be a catastrophe, and the third master is not scaring them, but cheering them up.

"It's the negligence of the subordinates, and the subordinates let people investigate. Long Yi felt that this was his responsibility, and he didn't even know who was making trouble in the city. has the trust of the third master.

"I know you've been busy lately, you should learn to delegate power, and those you have promoted yourself should be trustworthy. ”

Long Yi's attitude was very calm, of course he wanted to share some of the things he was doing with others, so that he could have more efficiency. But the things he handled were extremely critical and important, and he was afraid that he would not handle it well, and he was afraid that he would drag the third master back.

Ji Hongye could have come to see people, let alone the people who followed him. He said lightly: "When I choose this path, and you are willing to follow me, we will be one."

We have a common goal, which is to achieve what we want, and this is not something that I can do alone, it is the result of everyone's joint efforts, and I hope you can all recognize this fact. ”

Although they are nominally master and servant, the feeling that the third master gives them is indeed in the same boat. This is also why, they can follow the third master without regrets.

They are not from a family of clothed clothes, they have more chivalrous spirit, wandering the rivers and lakes, and walking with wine should be their place. But they just feel that their chivalrous heart should do more for more people and do more.

Long Yi nodded. Ye Bing said on the side: "The third master sit tight, there is someone blocking the road in front of you again." ”

Only then did Ji Hongye see the people opposite, they were all dressed in neat armor and riding on horseback, looking majestic. Just a casual glance, Ji Hongye was sure that there were more than forty people coming, and the leader was the red-clothed young general in front.

"Why are you blocking the way?" asked Long Yi.

"We're just taking a temporary break on this road, how can you say it's a roadblock? Could it be that this official road is open for your family?"

The young man in red looks very perverse, and his voice is slightly thin when he speaks, giving people a feeling of neither male nor female, but he is not quite the same as the eunuch in the palace.

Long Yi has been by Ji Hongye's side for so many years, it can be said that he has seen everyone, he is very indifferent to the other party's rudeness, and he doesn't look angry at all, only said: "Do you know who is sitting in this car?"

"No matter who it is, even if the king of heaven is here, the master wants to rest here, and he can't care about it!" The attitude of the young man in red was very arrogant.

"I see that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin!" Ye Bing has been by the third master's side for many years, and almost everyone is respectful to the third master.

Now when he heard someone say disrespectful words, he couldn't suppress his anger, so he wanted to beat that kid hard and let him know what the king of heaven was.

The young man in red still looked at them with provocative eyes, and his tone was even more-for-tat: "I think you want to fight, I can tell you, I have never been afraid of anyone!"

Of course, Ye Bing couldn't bear it, and when he was about to make a move, he was stopped by Long Yi reaching out. Long Yi still has the usual appearance that is not salty or light, in Ye Bing's eyes, his current appearance is almost the true inheritance of the third master.

"It's about fighting, and it's about finding out the identity of the other party, and I'll tell you right now who the person in this carriage is, but listen well. ”

"Who is sitting in your car, what's the matter with Master Guan!"

Long Yi ignored him, and only said lightly: "The person sitting in this car is my cabinet chief assistant of Daning. ”

When the red-clothed general heard this, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and asked with some uncertainty: "What did you just say? Who is sitting in this car?"

"I'm the head of the cabinet of the Daning Dynasty. "Long Yi's words are sonorous.

This time, the red-clothed young man did not sit firmly from the horse, and almost fell down when he dismounted, he stood respectfully, saluted the carriage, and even stammered when he spoke: "My grandfather asked me to stop a person here, but I didn't expect to stop the wrong vehicle, and I hope that Ji Shoufu will forgive the crime." ”

Ji Hongye still didn't speak. He didn't know who the other party was, so naturally he wouldn't speak out at will. Looking at the whole Daning, the people who can talk to him are like very rare, and it is impossible for him to surrender his identity.

"Who is your grandfather?"

"Peng Jing. The red-clothed young general originally wanted to talk about Peng Hou, but he thought that the person sitting in the carriage was the head of the cabinet, so he didn't care about offending the master, so he called him by his name.

Of course, he usually calls this his own master, and that's what he usually calls it. He never called him Hou Ye like others, and only when he was acting in front of outsiders.

"Peng Hou has always done things safely, and never let his subordinates disturb the people, but you lead a large number of people like this, riding horses and knives openly appear on the street, what is the difference between you and a murderer?"

"Aren't we usually like this?" the red-clothed general was not happy when he looked at Long Yi.

Long Yi looked at him the same, and he said coldly: "I'm embarrassed to say that I am Peng Hou's person, aren't you embarrassing Peng Hou, or are you just borrowing Peng Hou's name?"

When Long Yi said this, the speed of speech was always unhurried, which made people feel a pressure invisibly. Of course, this pressure also contains awe for the head of the cabinet.
