Zhu Yunwen reorganized Jinyiwei, separated its investigation and investigation functions, and set up an intelligence department and an investigation department. This incident did have a certain blow to the morale of Jinyiwei, but the courtiers celebrated with their crowns and called the emperor Shengming. Of course, the courtiers still have some regrets, thinking that there is no need for the Intelligence Department and the Investigation Department to exist, and they feel that the corruption problem of officials only needs to pass through the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Imperial History, but on this point, Zhu Yunwen is very insistent and does not make concessions.

On the night when the news of Wang Bi's army reached Beiping, Zhu Di, who had been up day and night, summoned his son Zhu Gaochi and Monk Daoyan to discuss the matter together in front of the bed.

Zhu Di first said: "Gao Chi, master, can you know the reason why Wang Bi raised the army?" ”

"I don't know." "My son doesn't know."

"This Wang Bi is simply looking for death, not to mention the army in advance, and sending out such a message, which is incompatible with my Zhu family, why is he so stupid!" Zhu Di was a little distressed, patted the pillow on the bed with his hand, and scolded in a low voice.

Dao Yan thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, according to your understanding of King Zhou, it is Wang Bi who is the main one at this time?" Or is it the king of Zhou? ”

"This? It's hard to say. Zhu Di said with some uncertainty: "My fifth brother should still have the ability to control Wang Bi, but the text they sent gives people the impression that Wang Bi's ideas are the majority." ”

"Father, I don't think Wang Bi has anything to worry about, as long as it is blocked north of the Great Wall, we can arrange it calmly, they have no food, and sooner or later they need to surrender to us and use it for us."

"Shizi, although Wang Bi is not worried, but he gave the court an excuse for the incident, and Lao Wei estimates that he will inevitably transfer troops to Beiping today, so we don't have much time. Once Beiping is controlled by the military of the imperial court, we are finished. ”

Zhu Di listened to Daoyan's words, pondered for a while, and said: "As long as Zhu Yunwen is not a fool, he will definitely send Geng Bingwen to the north. Once he arrives in Beiping, it will inevitably cause great trouble to our uprising, so this king agrees with the master that he needs to do things in advance. ”

Speaking of which, Zhu Di asked Zhu Gaochi and said, "Gao Chi, how are Ru Yu and Chen Ying in contact?" ”

Zhu Gaochi thought for a while, and said: "Father, more than ten days ago, Ru Yu went to the mansion to deliver the decree, and there seemed to be some complaints about the present during the banquet, and finally pointed out our intention to raise chickens and ducks. But he didn't lose weight, and even said that he couldn't come over often, so he asked Erchen to send someone over. ”

After reporting to his father and the queen, the son decided to take the risk and send Nai Heng, a young official of the political envoy, to contact Ru Yu, according to Naiheng, who was not surprised when he saw the letter from his son, but comforted him with kind words. From that day on, Ru Yu would give some documents to Naiheng from time to time for Naiheng to sort out, and Naiheng copied them and sent them to the palace through the shadows. Erchen thought that Ru Yu could be trusted, and he had already set his heart on his father. ”

"Well," Zhu Di didn't answer, and said, "What about Chen Ying?" ”

Zhu Gaochi thought about this question for a long time, and finally said: "Father, this Chen Ying, the son thinks that he is a man who forgets his righteousness for profit, and he is a man who is very strong, and at present, the son of the minister buys him with a lot of money, and he promises not to report to the court that it is not good for the palace, but the son thinks that once the court soldiers press the border, he will inevitably bite back immediately." Of course, if our army wins, he will never be loyal to the court. ”

"Hmm," Zhu Di pondered for a while and looked at Dao Yan: "Master, what do you think?" ”

Dao Yan also thought for a long time this time, and said: "This Chen Ying, the minister has been in contact, and he can only use it, but he can't trust it." But this Ru Yu turned out to be anti-water, which surprised Lao Ge. According to the description of the prince, Ru Yu should be iron-hearted, and the old man suggested that the shadow be sent to take his family out of the capital and then hide, which can calm his heart on the one hand, and strengthen his will on the other hand. ”

"Lao Wei estimates that it will take at least a month for the imperial court to go north from making a decision to sending troops north, and we must do it within twenty days, otherwise the general trend will go away."

"Lao Wei has an idea, let Ru Yu help us, so........ So ......"

Dao Yan's voice slowly lowered and gradually became inaudible, while Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi nodded frequently.

In the next few days, Nai Heng kept delivering news to both sides, and Ru Yu began to hesitate, but after several repetitions, he gradually settled down.

Song Zhong keenly felt that the Yan Wangfu was planning something, so he increased the monitoring of the Yan Wangfu, but after all, the number of Jinyiwei was limited, and it was impossible to track everyone who entered and exited the palace, and the imperial court did not have an edict, so he could not directly do anything to the Yan Wangfu, so there was no valuable information, which made him a little anxious.

Wang Bi attacked Kaiping, and the Kaiping defenders fled into the pass, and then Yang Wen placed them near Beiping to rest, which made the wind around Beiping loud, and rumors spread at the same time, the army and the people were afraid that Wang Bi would break into the pass, burn, kill and loot. At this time, the soldiers and civilians of Beiping naturally remembered the invincible King Yan, and even had some hostility towards Song Zhong and other foreign officers.

All commanded the yamen.

Song Zhong had just sent Yang Wen away, and Yang Wen, as the chief soldier of Beiping, was going to inspect the Beiping Pass, so he handed over the defense around Beiping to Song Zhong. Song Zhong was discussing with Xie Gui that he wanted to move the Kaiping army away from Beiping, he felt that these soldiers were a threat, and Xie Gui also held the same opinion and actively cooperated.

At this moment, the guards came to report that Ru Yu, the political envoy, sent someone to invite Song Zhong to discuss the matter, which was said to be to open up the rout of the army and disturb the people.

Song Zhong felt that someone sent a pillow to him who was sleepy, and he was very happy, so he asked Xie Gui to continue to make a plan and go to the political envoy Si Yamen to discuss with Ru Yu.

These days, Liu Qingyin, Lin He, and Peng Ziyun are also immersed in excitement, and when the news of Wang Bi's army came, the three of them jumped up and celebrated each other. These people of the White Lotus Sect are different from Jin Zhong, they keep an eye on Dao Yan, send people to Qingshou Temple every day to offer incense, and people are also sent around the temple to make up for petty business, and monitor day and night.

Soon they found Jin Zhong, but they didn't know who Jin Zhong was, so they could only follow him. It's a pity that Jin Zhong is very alert, in order to prevent him from being suspicious, Peng Ziyun pretended to be a scholar, Liu Qingyin pretended to be **, and Lin He pretended to be a guard to track Jin Zhong, this plan made Lin He very dissatisfied, but the appearance of five big and three rough was really not suitable for pretending to be a scholar, but he didn't let him play a guard, and he refused, because he didn't know what his senior sister and this little white face were doing, and finally had to agree hatefully. He looked at Peng Ziyun and Liu Qingyin every day and laughed, his heart was like a knife, and he said to himself vigorously: "This is fake, this is fake, just to track." ”

Therefore, although the people of the White Lotus Sect are not as professional as Jinyiwei, they are superior in number and live at the bottom, and they act in their true colors, but they do not arouse the suspicion of the Shadow, of course, this is also the reason why the Shadow pays too much attention to the Jinyiwei and ignores them.

But from their point of view, unless they killed Song Zhong and Xie Gui, King Yan had no chance of winning, but these two people never appeared in the same place, which greatly increased the difficulty of getting rid of them. Liu Qingyin and others are also secretly anxious for King Yan, ready to help at any time.
