Chapter 355: Examination (I)
"Why are you back?"
Early in the morning, Zhu Di, who had just arrived at the General Staff, was stunned as soon as he entered the office.
He actually saw Ma Dajun in the General Staff!
"You don't take care of your military affairs in the southwest, who allowed you to come back."
Zhu Di was a little angry, the frontier general entered Beijing without permission, this is eating the bear's heart and leopard's gall.
Seeing that Zhu Di was angry at the misunderstanding, Ma Dajun felt a warm feeling in his heart, not taking himself as a confidant, why should people care about the rights and wrongs of their actions.
"The last general has come back this time in a holy parable."
Taking two steps forward to take the cloak that Zhu Di had received, Ma Dajun explained: "Your Majesty's holy decree will return to Beijing at the end of the year to report to His Royal Highness King Yan on military affairs in the southwest.
Originally, the last general wanted to enter the palace directly to face the saint, but His Majesty has been busy with state affairs recently, so he sent the ministers away and asked the ministers to come to see King Yan first, but they didn't even meet last time. ”
Zhu Di's brows furrowed slightly.
No matter how busy the emperor is, it is impossible for him to be so busy that he doesn't even have the skills to meet people, especially when he sees a frontier general with outstanding military achievements like Ma Dajun.
Corporal Lixian and Enlightened and Generous have always been Zhu Yunwen's imperial charm, and there is no reason to play the horse army like this.
Thousands of miles away to call back but not see?
"Did you provoke some moths in the Southwest?"
Zhu Di keenly sensed that something was wrong, and if he didn't mention it, as soon as he said this, he saw Ma Dajun's face full of chagrin and remorse.
"King Yan Ming investigated, and the last time he returned to Beijing this time, he came to bear the guilt of Jing Plea."
As he spoke, he explained the reason and plate of his previous pilgrimage to the hibiscus powder, and Zhu Di was stunned when he heard it, and then pointed at Ma Dajun's nose trembling.
"You... You're looking for death! ”
Ma Dajun's sacrifice of poison, except for Zhu Yunwen and Shuangxi, Zhu Di was completely unaware.
He didn't even know that there was such a poison in the world, which could make people addicted and addictive, and it was difficult to extricate themselves.
A frontier general offered this kind of drug to the emperor, if it was not to harbor evil intentions, it would be unbelievable if Zhu Di was used to it.
What's more, a suspicious emperor.
After scolding twice, Zhu Di began to pace in place, and after the calmness of anger, he noticed a different meaning.
If the emperor has set the death penalty of Ma Dajun in his heart, a holy decree will come down, and Ma Dajun will not be separated from his body.
There is no reason to let the latter come to the General Staff first to find Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to report on the military situation in the southwest.
This shows that Zhu Yunwen's heart is also wavering now, and he plans to let Zhu Di understand a thing or two first, and then discuss this matter.
"The last general knows that the crime is extremely evil, and I specially invite His Royal Highness King Yan to bring the last general to face the saint."
Stopped, Zhu Di's eyes were slightly cold: "Do you want Gu to intercede for you?" ”
"By no means."
Subconsciously, Ma Dajun had already blurted out a denial, and then sighed lightly, lowered his head and said: "The last general deserves ten thousand deaths, where do you dare to ask King Yan to make a statement, I just hope that after King Yan knows the original situation, he can ask His Majesty for mercy and forgive the last general's family, so that they will not be exiled for thousands of miles." ”
Ma Dajun's loyalty, Zhu Di never doubted, knowing that returning to Nanjing was very likely to be a dead end, and if Ma Dajun harbored evil intentions, he would never dare to return to Beijing alone.
Big deal, secession in the southwestern state?
Although there is little success, it is not tied up after all.
Dare to come back and beg for death, it is enough to show that he is still reliable in terms of the temperament of being a minister.
Thinking of this, Zhu Di sighed faintly.
"Do your best, you, you are so bold to cause such a catastrophe."
hurriedly threw down the horse army, Zhu Di didn't care to go to Zhu Zhen to discuss the details of the military affairs in the northwest, and hurried to the palace.
When Zhu Di arrived, Zhu Yunwen seemed to have expected it and had already opened his mouth first.
"The fourth uncle came to see me in such a hurry, it was for the sake of Ma Dajun."
Before Zhu Di nodded in response, Zhu Yunwen had already spoken to himself.
"The fourth uncle is a pity, for so many years, I have never seen the fourth uncle so anxious about anyone."
Seeing that Zhu Yunwen still had the heart to make fun of himself, Zhu Di's heart hanging in his throat fell slightly, and he was a lot more steady.
"Your Majesty, the minister is indeed here for the seed, and Ma Dajun explained to the minister one or two, the original ......"
"I don't want to hear explanations."
Waving his hand, Zhu Yunwen interrupted mercilessly, and then smiled disdainfully.
"Fourth uncle, do you think you can believe this kind of thing?"
Zhu Di was stunned.
It's not an ordinary household triviality.
This is a major event involving an emperor and the stability of the country, and in the face of such a major state of affairs, explanation is the most powerless way, and its own truth is not even important.
The important thing is whether Zhu Yunwen, as the emperor, is willing to believe Ma Dajun in the end.
Kill or stay, Zhu Yunwen has to make his own decision.
Thinking about it, Zhu Di sighed gloomily and reluctantly gave up.
"Although Ma Dajun has made a big mistake this time, in the end, he has performed meritorious services and honors in the southwest, and His Majesty should also know something about this person.
This is a tiger general, and even a growing commander.
It's a pity to fold such a handsome person. ”
Zhu Di never mentioned the word loyalty.
Whether he is loyal or not, he doesn't count what he said, and Ma Dajun's self-defense doesn't count.
If Zhu Yunwen doesn't believe it, then Ma Dajun will be digging out his liver, and he will also be a chaotic minister and thief.
Not to mention his temperament, but only to talk about his military strength, Zhu Di can be regarded as grasping the weakness of Zhu Yunwen, the emperor.
As his eldest nephew, Zhu Di knows it well for so many years.
Talents who are useful to the country, even if there are some minor problems, Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, can tolerate them, if he can play the role of half of the country, then the emperor is full of praise, open-minded and benevolent.
"When the minister was blinded by lard, he was not angry with his father and the emperor before his death, and when his majesty ascended the throne, he told the ministers that the importance of the dynasty was to forgiveness."
The old thing was brought up again, and Zhu Di used this incident to excuse Ma Dajun.
"If this fang is really bold, there is no reason to return to Beijing alone to resign from his post, the southwest barrier, the Seven Nations Alliance, and the Ma army can be half of the wall, I hope Your Majesty will be cautious."
Zhu Yunwen didn't speak, because he couldn't remember what he said to Zhu Di back then.
If Zhu Di wants to rebel now, can he still spare Zhu Di?
Not necessarily.
He is Zhu Yunwen, not Zhu Yunwen.
It's the emperor, not the secretary!
"I promised him to be a high-ranking official, and made him a generalissimo with a strong army.
If you don't read the emperor's grace, if you don't repay the emperor, you still conspire, fourth uncle, you say, shouldn't you kill? ”
Saying that, Zhu Yunwen smashed the case angrily: "I raised a white-eyed wolf!" ”
Zhu Di's heart beat violently, and sweat oozed from his vest in an instant.
The prestige of his eldest nephew is becoming more and more prosperous.
Although he was nervous, Zhu Di still felt that his nephew had not made up his mind, so he chose to believe in his feelings.
Reply.
"The minister has the courage to intercede for Ma Dajun, and I hope Your Majesty will be cautious."
The atmosphere in the warm pavilion was solemn and depressing.
Zhu Yunwen, who was in the first place, took a long time before he spat out: "Since King Yan is a guarantee, then I will give him another chance." ”
If you don't call the fourth uncle to call King Yan, Zhu Di is already cold in his heart.
"Double happiness."
"The slave is here."
The shrill voice sounded, and Zhu Di heard Zhu Yunwen's cold instructions.
"Together with King Yan, you will take Ma Dajun to the edict for interrogation, and the chief officer of the Three Law Divisions will interrogate."
Inspecting an army of horses, the emperor sent a team that exceeded the standard.
The more this is the case, the more confused Zhu Di becomes.
In the end, does the emperor want to kill the army of horses?
