The old emperor was suspicious, but he was also very conceited. Although the confidant eunuch betrayed him before, the confidant eunuch would rather die than leave with Jing Yan in the end, which proves that he has a good way to control him, although his subordinates betrayed him, their hearts are still towards him......

After all, not everyone will owe Prince Zhaoren a life like his henchman eunuch, and his henchman eunuch will definitely not betray him if he does not owe Prince Zhaoren a life.

The old emperor's self-confidence stems from the obedience of hundreds of civil and military officials over the years, as well as the loyalty of his confidants, except for the confidant eunuch who owes Prince Zhaoren a life, no second person betrays him.

Therefore, when Qin Xiaoyan initially proposed that Jiangnan was different, but could not produce enough evidence, the old emperor did not agree with Qin Xiaoyan's inference, he still believed that he was single-handed, but ......

When Qin Xiaoyan arrived in Jiangnan and told the old emperor that Jiangnan was different, the old emperor could no longer trust his henchmen.

"Situ, what's going on?" The old emperor threw the fold in his hand onto the table, and his right hand, which was already trembling, trembled even more at this time.

Situ Gonggong stepped forward with the same expression, picked up the fold, and read it carefully......

The excerpt was sent into the city by Qin Shanyan day and night, talking about the situation in Jiangnan, although this time there was no empirical evidence attached, but what was written on it was seen by Qin Shanyan himself.

Although his own grandson may not be trustworthy, the old emperor will not lie to him if he knows this kind of thing, because this kind of thing will not be deceived for long, and Qin Xiaoyan will not be stupid enough to lie about this kind of thing.

Danger, what Qin Xiaoyan said on the excerpt is all the truth, the feudal officials of Jiangnan, the henchmen of the old emperor, betrayed him, fell to Jing Yan and helped Jing Yan to deceive the superiors and subordinates, and occupied Jiangnan to do whatever he wanted.

Situ Gonggong watched it very seriously, and he also watched it very slowly, and it took a long time for Situ Gonggong to finish reading Qin Xiaoyan's excerpts, "Shengshang, Jiangnan is in danger, please send a large army to Shengshang quickly." ”

"I know that Jiangnan is in danger, I don't need you to say more, you just need to tell me, why can't you find out about the situation in Jiangnan for a long time?" The old emperor looked at Situ Gonggong's eyes with judgment and suspicion......

The betrayal of the confidant eunuch still made the old emperor feel very uncomfortable, and he might not feel anything at all, but once there was an abnormality, the old emperor would be the first to think that the people around him might betray him again.

"Saint, the people in the hands of the minions only operate in the capital, and there are no minions in the south of the Yangtze River." Situ Gonggong lowered his head and said, although he didn't dare to look directly at the old emperor, he didn't mean to dodge.

He just returned to the capital, and only then did he arrange the people in his hands, and he didn't even finish arranging the capital, so how could he have the time and energy to insert people into Jiangnan and spread the news under layers of iron nets?

The old emperor frowned, as if he remembered that he did not let Situ Gonggong go to check the news of Jiangnan, and the person who was keeping an eye on all kinds of news was Jinyiwei.

"Someone, the leader of Xuanjin Yiwei has entered the palace." The situation in Jiangnan was too strict, so that the old emperor could not sit tall.

Although the sky is high and the emperor is far away, there are many things that the emperor can't control, but Jiangnan has always been a place where the imperial court is focused on, but he doesn't know anything about such a thing, which really shouldn't be.

The leader of Jinyiwei soon entered the palace, obviously he heard the wind in advance, and without waiting for the old emperor to ask, he presented the news of Jinyiwei during this time to the old emperor one by one.

According to the order of the Ming Dynasty, the earliest was half a year ago, and the latest was seven days ago, all the news is lined up, whether it was before or now, the news from Jiangnan News is safe, and there is no abnormality at all.

"Sending this to prove that you are not derelict in your duties?" The old emperor read them one by one, but he was even more angry.

If there is no major event, the news from Jiangnan is sent once every seven days, and there has been no major event recently, the news from Jiangnan is all sent once every seven days, and the news is very normal, without a trace of abnormality.

The leader of the Jinyi Guard said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The Holy God forgives the sin, and there is a crime of dereliction of duty, please deal with it by the Holy One." ”

"Just a dereliction of duty?" If the old emperor didn't doubt his henchmen before, then now he doesn't believe any henchmen, especially the leader of the Jinyi Guard.

The people in Jinyiwei are not betrayed for the first time, but as the leader, they don't know anything about it, is this appropriate?

The leader of Jinyiwei only didn't understand, and said: "The lowly duty is negligent, please give the lowly post a chance to atone for his sins, and allow the lowly to go to Jiangnan to investigate this matter personally." ”

"To Gangnam? The situation in Jiangnan is unknown, what can you do when you go to Jiangnan? The old emperor's face was gloomy, and he looked at the eyes of the leader of the Jinyi Guard, as if he was looking at a dead man.

If it weren't for the lack of a suitable candidate, the leader of the Jinyi Guard would have died.

"Go to Jiangnan and catch Jing Yan with your own hands." When the leader of Jinyiwei said the word "Jing Yan", it was rare to show disgust and murderous intent.

"He's been in the capital for so long, and you haven't found out about him, are you sure you can capture people alive?" The old emperor's eyes were half-narrowed, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"The lowly duty is guaranteed with his life, and Jing Yan is not captured alive, and the lowly duty is to die to apologize." The leader of the Jinyi Guard said loudly.

The moment he entered the palace, he was ready to die.

Some "loyalty" needs to be proved with his life, and he will never give the old emperor the opportunity to suspect him and probe him.

"Very well, I give you a chance, come on...... Go and take his family into the palace. The old emperor gave an indifferent order, and the fact that he said this was enough to prove that he did not trust the leader of the Jinyi Guard, and wanted to blackmail him with his family.

When the leader of the Jinyi Guard heard this, he didn't even refute it, as if the person who was threatened was not him, which made the old emperor slightly satisfied.

"Capture Jing Yan alive, I remember your great achievements." The old emperor was full of promises, as for not being captured alive?

There is no need to talk about the consequences.

"Obedience!" The leader of the Jinyi Guard got up without hesitation, and resolutely turned around and walked out.

The news of Jiangnan couldn't be hidden, and the old emperor didn't plan to hide it, after the leader of Jinyiwei left the palace, the old emperor summoned Lord Feng, Lord Jiao and General Feng to discuss matters.

The three adults met at the gate of the palace, Lord Feng and General Feng vaguely guessed something, their faces were solemn, and Lord Jiao also had a guess in his heart, but he was not sure, the three of them looked at each other at the door, said nothing, and hurriedly entered the palace.

As the three of them expected, the old emperor said that it was really news from Jiangnan, Lord Feng's face was even more ugly when he heard it, and Lord Jiao was even worse than him, and he opened his mouth to ask something, but in the end he didn't dare to ask.

With national affairs in front of him, how dare he care about the life and death of his son.

The expressions of Lord Feng and Lord Jiao are normal, and the old emperor doesn't feel anything when he sees it, but when General Feng Lao heard the news, he was like being struck by lightning, and the whole person froze in place, his eyes bulging, so it was terrifying......
