Jinan Mansion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because Zhu Changluo lived in Li Zhi's outer house prepared in Jinan City, Li Zhi simply lived in the government of Jinan City, and the original prefect could only run outside to live pitifully, but fortunately, the prefect was not unprepared, and his own outer house was also very comfortable.

However, at this moment, there are a few more mysterious and mysterious characters in the government, and in the study originally used by the prefect's office, if people see this scene clearly, they will be surprised.

Because this dignified governor of Liaodong, Lord Li Zhi, actually sat at the bottom, with a humble look on his face, and above the main seat, there was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, and next to the boy were four or five tall and middle-aged men.

But the amazing thing is not this, but the fact that all the hair on the heads of these people has been shaved off, leaving only a small circle on the back of the head, and the finger-thick braids hang down the back of the head, which is in stark contrast to Li Zhi, who has long hair and a crown!

Jurchens!

But anyone with a little insight knows that only Jurchen barbarians can have such vulgar habits!

But at this moment, the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy had a gentle demeanor and said.

"Lord Li, with what you see today, how is the eldest son of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and what is his attitude towards my Jianzhou Nuzhen? How's the news of the Fan family? ”

"Lord Chu Ying, today is the first time we have met, I'm afraid it's hard to say, but Fan Yongdou was indeed arrested by Jinyiwei, and the old man got the news, this highness may have played a big role in it, as for his attitude towards the Jurchen, it remains to be ...... to be tested."

Li Zhi immediately got up, arched his hand, and said in a humble voice.

However, his words obviously could not satisfy the young man named Chu Ying, the young man's brows were slightly twisted, and a middle-aged man beside him took two steps forward and said.

"Old thing, you don't fight with us haha, the Fan family has been arrested for so long, but so far, you don't even have a way, are you playing us like monkeys? Don't forget, we can make you sit firmly in the position of governor of Liaodong, and we can also let you fall off this position in an instant! ”

Li Zhi's face suddenly froze, and the green tendons on his forehead collapsed, but he didn't dare to say more.

Because he knew that the people in front of him were not joking, they could indeed let themselves lose everything overnight......

However, Chu Ying frowned, looked at the middle-aged man reproachfully, and said.

"Uncle, don't be rude!"

After saying that, he turned to Li Zhi and said warmly.

"Master Li, my uncle is also in a hurry, so he is offended, please don't care!"

Looking at Chu Ying's sincere gaze, Li Zhi's face softened slightly, but when he saw Chu Ying's face was slightly stern, he said.

"But then again, Fan Yongdou has always been the most loyal friend of my clan, and now that he is in prison, it is understandable that we are anxious, but after so many days, Lord Li still can't get useful news, and Daming's attitude towards my Jurchen is getting worse and worse, which really makes me anxious!"

"Lord Chu Ying rest assured, today's His Royal Highness, he is from the capital, and he also participated in the arrest of Fan Yongdou by Jinyiwei, and the old man has already sent a message to invite him to the banquet, I believe that he will be able to get the news out of his mouth!"

A trace of cold sweat broke out on Li Zhi's head and said hurriedly.

However, there was a burst of sadness in his heart, it turned out that in the eyes of these people, he was not as good as a mere businessman, and he knew that even if he didn't want the position of governor of Liaodong at the beginning, it was better than being controlled by others like now......

"Oh? I heard that this His Royal Highness was fifteen years old, and he was able to open a mansion, and he is also the future prince of the Ming Dynasty, Lord Li, in your opinion, what kind of person is His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor? ”

A hint of differentness flashed in Chu Ying's eyes, and he asked with interest, with a faint hint of competitiveness in his words.

Li Zhi is also a human spirit, so he naturally heard the meaning and hurriedly said.

"Lord Chu Ying is right, this Royal Highness is indeed only fifteen years old, two years younger than Lord Chu Ying, according to what the old man saw today, this Royal Highness is a young man, arrogant, happy and angry, he is really not a great talent, I am afraid that it is by virtue of the identity of the eldest son of the emperor that he has the title of the future prince, compared with Lord Chu Ying, it is naturally much inferior......

"Master Li laughed, I, Chu Ying, am just the son of a small clan, how can I compare with the future prince of the Ming Dynasty! But if what you said is true, you can try to communicate with this highness and gain his favor, maybe in this way, you can rescue Fan Yongdou? ”

Chu Ying was slightly proud, but still said with a straight face.

Li Zhi hurriedly responded, and then retreated.

In the study, only Chu Ying and the people he brought were left, but as soon as Li Zhi left, Chu Ying's face immediately changed, his smile disappeared, and he immediately became solemn, and at the same time, the middle-aged man next to him sat down unceremoniously and said.

"Chu Ying, what did you mean just now? Do you want to change your plans? ”

"Uncle, don't worry, listen to the little nephew slowly!"

A trace of impatience flashed in Chu Ying's eyes, but he still said patiently.

"According to the little nephew, although this Fan Yongdou is important to our clan, the most important thing is the account book in his hand, and the trade routes he controls are secondary, yes, our original plan should be to kidnap His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty, to blackmail the Ming Court, so that the Ming Court will not dare to use troops against our clan without authorization! But Li Zhi said just now, this His Royal Highness is ambitious and talented, arrogant, and must not be a scheming person, as long as we can serve properly and gain his favor, maybe we can become the greatest harvest of the Great Khan over the years! ”

"What do you mean......"

The middle-aged man frowned and said.

"Uncle, think about it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, if we get his friendship, then what else in the Ming Court can't be solved? Isn't a royal highness the crown prince who has good intentions towards our clan more useful than a captured prince of the Ming court? Uncle, don't forget, the old things of the tile spurs, the corrupt Confucians in the Ming Court, what kind of integrity do they pay attention to, it is not easy to persuade them to compromise! ”

Chu Ying smiled slightly and continued to follow the good path.

The old thing he said was naturally the matter of Emperor Yingzong's northern hunting.

After listening to this, the middle-aged man fell into deep thought, indeed, the people in the Ming Court, the emperor can be replaced if he is arrested, not to mention that the current prince is not the prince, in case the Ming Court turns its face at that time, won't the gains outweigh the losses?

But if you can befriend him, it will indeed be of greater benefit.

However, the middle-aged man glanced at Chu Ying deeply, but the corners of his mouth inexplicably hooked up a smile, and said lightly.

"In that case, Chu Ying, you will do it, but uncle, I still think it is safer to arrest him......"

"Then thank you uncle for your understanding......"

Chu Ying said as if he hadn't heard the second half of the sentence of the middle-aged man.
