Text 124. The Great Case of Peking (21)
After reading the letter, Zhu Di's swelling was red, and he was about to tear it when he reached out, but fortunately, Li Yu stopped it quickly, "The prince can't," and took the letter with his hand, "If the prince tears it up, if the commander Jiang asks me for a letter in the future, I can't say clearly." ”
Zhu Di's eyes were red, his chest rose and fell violently, and he said with a cruel smile: "The rat generation is really not small, and he dares to spy on the vassal king without authorization. ”
"Unauthorized?" Li Yu smiled: "Lord Wang, please think about it, don't the lower officials know that this kind of thing of spying on the vassal king will lose their heads?" He doesn't know that the commander of the Jinyi Guard will know? No matter how bold we are, dare to call the shots? ”
Zhu Di had already thought of who was behind the scenes: "When did you start communicating, and how often did you communicate with each other?" Zhu Di gritted his teeth and asked.
Li Yu replied: "There were no such things before you came to Beiping, and soon after you came to Beiping, the secret letter to me also arrived. All the secret letters to me were from Jiang Huan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who asked for a letter once a month to report all your situation, and the Mongols had already called at that time, although the military situation was urgent at that time, I still wrote on time in those two months, presumably other vassal kings were similar. ”
Zhu Di was silent for a long time, Li Yu's words made him fall into deep thought, Jin Yiwei and the political envoy monitored him, was it his father's order, or was he secretly playing ghosts over there? If Li Yu's words are true, then this person is indeed too useful to himself, so should he do it according to the original plan?
Although Li Yu didn't know what Zhu Di was thinking at this time, when he saw Zhu Di hesitating, he knew that what he said had an effect. Regarding this meeting, Li Yu is confident, because he knows that his chips are enough to make Zhu Di tempted, otherwise he would not take the initiative to defect. He also knows that there is no need to urge Zhu Di now, let Zhu Di figure out the powerful relationship inside, which is more beneficial to himself. So Li Yu slowly picked up the tea on the table and began to taste the tea leisurely.
Zhu Di was very entangled, the letter and retelling that Li Yu took out at the moment were not only unexpected, but also moved him, behind this matter, whether it meant an opportunity or a greater danger was completely in his own thoughts.
The room was surprisingly quiet, both of them were silent, the difference was that Li Yu actively chose to be silent, while Zhu Di was passive silent who couldn't make a choice.
A voice outside the house broke the silence inside, "Please give me a respect, and the lower official Chen Shu will meet the prince." ”
Before the servant outside the door entered the house, Zhu Di's voice came out: "Please come in, Lord Chen." ”
Chen Shu came in, and Zhu Di and Li Yu were sitting in place, as if nothing had happened.
Chen Shu confessed: "The little girl has made trouble for the prince, and the trivial matter has delayed the prince's business, forgive the sin." Let the prince wait for a long time, now the lower official will start to report the case. ”
Zhu Di nodded. Chen Shu began to speak.
Coming out of King Yan's mansion, Chen Shu was very confused, King Yan was obviously a little absent-minded when he listened to his report on the case, and he was distracted many times, what was even more strange was that after he finished reporting, Zhu Di actually said several good things in a row, and encouraged himself to continue to work hard, but there was no progress in the case at all, and King Yan praised him like this, which sounded like a sarcasm for his inaction. Coupled with the fact that the princess rewarded her daughter with such a valuable thing for no reason, did King Yan really intend to win him over? Or because Yao Guangqi is a disciple of King Yan, King Yan believes that Yao Guangqi has a close relationship with his daughter and wants to subdue himself through this relationship?
Chen Shu was pondering, and suddenly saw Li Yu in front of him turn around: "Old Chen, I can't see it, it turns out that you are so close to King Yan, go, go to my house to sit, you are busy with official business on weekdays, it is rare to get together, how about taking this opportunity to drink tea with me today?" ”
Li Yu warmly invited, Chen Shu hesitated for a moment, and returned with a smile: "It should have been an adult, how can there be a reason for an adult to invite an official." ”
Li Yu took Chen Shu's hand: "It's always so polite, let's go, I have new tea, let's go." ”
Wang Chen and the others went to drink tea without mentioning it, in the palace at this time, in the room where Zhu Di and Li Yu had just met, Zhu Di and Yao Guangqi were arguing fiercely.
"How do you know that Li Yu is not lying to you, he made up those words just to make you accept him and use your name as King Yan to protect himself!" Yao Guangqi was emotional, and his words were also intense.
Zhu Di replied confidently: "Bargaining and taking the initiative to show favor will inevitably be weak, how could Li Yu not understand this truth?" If he is not absolutely sure, how can he take the initiative to show goodwill, he only dares to take the initiative to take refuge because he knows the weight of his chips. Besides, I don't look at people anymore, and if he lies, he will never be so self-conscious
Letters, intermittent conversations will not be so calm. ”
Yao Guangqi immediately retorted: "The reason why he is confident is because we can't expose his lies at all, he communicates with Jiang Huan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who do we check with?" Jiang Huan? No one can confirm it! The cleverness of his lie is here, we can't verify it, we can't prove that he lied, what he says is what it is. Yao Guangqi couldn't control his emotions at the moment, and his tone became higher and higher.
Although Zhu Di felt that Yao Guangqi's words had some truth, he still firmly believed in his intuition, and he believed that what Li Yu said was the truth. In addition, Zhu Di has a more important but unclear reason, he doesn't want to risk this matter, in case what Li Yu said is true, once he misses this opportunity to subdue Li Yu, then I am afraid it will be difficult to have it again. There is another point that Zhu Di just thought, it is easy to kill Li Yu, but the new political envoy will definitely receive the instructions of Jinyiwei, and he will definitely become the eyes and ears of the imperial court, and he has become the former political envoy, and the successor political envoy will not dare to deal with him.
With these three layers of thought, Zhu Di would rather believe the truth than believe Yao Guangqi's doubts.
Of course, Zhu Di couldn't say those ulterior thoughts, so he could only defend himself: "Don't you also say that Li Yu is not the biggest fish, and there may be a bigger and more mysterious organization hidden behind it?" ”
Although Yao Guangqi didn't guess Zhu Di's thoughts, he knew that Zhu Di was really moved: "Li Yu is corrupt and perverts the law, looting the people's fat and ointment, he is a moth of the country, a rat of the court, such an official, he must not be taken in, take a step back, this person is mercenary, even if he is sincere at the moment, he will betray you for interests in the future and bite you back." Besides, the organization behind him is too large for us to openly oppose it at this time. ”
Yao Guangqi's analysis hit Zhu Di's pain point, and Zhu Di sighed: "What you said also makes sense, let me think about it first." ”
At the end of July, Hangzhou, Iron Buddha Temple.
The seventh month of the lunar calendar is the hottest season in Hangzhou, and noon is the hottest time of the day, the tourists on the West Lake are sparsely scattered, so hot that there are not many good men and women who burn incense and worship the Buddha in the temple, and the monks who meditate are dozing off, except for the faint snoring of a few monks in the whole temple, it is difficult to hear other sounds.
