Chapter 439: Persuade the King of Han to retreat from confusing the king's heart
Although the city wall of Le'an Prefecture is not as high as the imperial city, it is also higher than that of the general state capital, and there is a new arrow tower on it.
Except that there is no moat, it is already quite majestic.
Hu Yanjin entered the city in a carriage, and in the city, the Han Palace's Mansion accounted for sixty percent, which was also the standard configuration of the Domain's Palace.
Haiming had been to Le'an a few times, and he took Hu Yanjin to an inn with him. This inn is on the west side of the Han Palace, but unfortunately the wall of the Han Mansion is high, even if you stand on the second floor, you can only see the blue tile roof scattered in the wall.
"King Han was killed by Emperor Taizong, he could have been a rich prince......"
Hu Yanjin walked back to the table from the window, picked up a soft cloth, and wiped his three-edged whip like his father. This three-edged whip has long been sheathed and can be hung around the waist like a sword.
"The head of the family, the Le'an Han Mansion is almost exactly the same as his Nanjing Palace, this is the drawing, you take a look at the route first...... Master, if not, I'll go in and see King Han......"
"No, you wait for me outside, I'm sure I can walk out."
Hu Yanjin glanced at the topographic map, and his eyes lingered at the east gate for a moment. That time, he went in with Xiao Gao, and Xiao Gao was shot with an arrow. Hemming's martial arts are not as good as Xiao Gao, and he doesn't want history to repeat itself.
What's more, he didn't go to inquire about the news this time, he wanted to meet with King Han.
"That's fine. When I see you come out, I'll shoot a rocket in. ”
Heming also came prepared, and the rocket he brought was called "Two Tigers Chasing Sheep".
This single-engine rocket, with two propelled gunpowder canisters and a fire-breathing gunpowder cartridge in front, has been improved by the pottery owner, its size is more carryable, but the flight distance is longer, and it is a sharp weapon for arson.
Haiming hid it in a hollow chariot, which was the configuration of the Ming army, and the people forbade it to hold, if it was used, it was easy for the Han King to think that it was done by the imperial court.
At night, waiting for the lights under the corridor of the palace, the second layer was darkened, and Huyan Jinfei went up to the wall of the palace.
Hu Yanjin used flying stones on the roof to solve the two guards by the moon gate, and then the two at the door of the study. Obviously, King Han felt that Le'an was safer than in Beijing, and there were many fewer guards.
"His Royal Highness the King of Han...... You're only reading the military book now, isn't it too late? ”
Hu Yanjin closed the door with his hand, leaned against the door, and said unhurriedly. King Han was idle, and he couldn't see anything else, so he took a book of war and flipped through it.
Hearing Hu Yanjin's voice, he raised his head suddenly, only to see a tall man in a mask quietly appear in his study.
He was about to shout "Someone" when he suddenly saw a small arrow suddenly appear on the man's left arm held up to him.
"Clever. The arrow is so small, it must have been fed with poison. But I'm not here to kill you, I'm here to ...... Save you. In Hu Yanjin's voice, there is a firmness that is difficult to refuse.
"You...... Who is it? This king is in his own domain, why do you want to save it? ”
Hu Yanjin raised his right hand and flew the copied secret letter to King Han's desk. King Han opened it and saw that someone had secretly accused him of swallowing seventy percent of the stolen money from salt transportation.
He snorted: "This is nothing new, and the emperor doesn't dare to do anything to this king." ”
"Your Highness, have you forgotten what Emperor Yongle did with Li Qing back then to make Tan Qing and Zhu Chong's meritorious generals fall, right? You are a person who wants to take advantage of Emperor Yongle's unfulfilled promise to ascend the throne, how can you do something contrary to the ancestral teachings? ”
"Who the hell are you?! How dare you say such a rebellious statement! ”
The king of Han is martial and irascible, but he is not useless. He has been with Emperor Yongle for many years, and Emperor Yongle has been familiar with him, and he is also a person who is arrogant and thinks highly of himself.
Hu Yanjin's mask flashed in the candlelight, and he came to the front of King Han.
"If you dare to do it, why don't I dare to say it. Since the 19th of this month, how many weapons and armor have been looted and snatched back from the surrounding state capitals, and in which warehouse are they stored, do you need me to report the number? ”
King Han was dumbfounded.
"Your escort army, by means of substitution, will change the old and weak soldiers to the military and recruit young and middle-aged civilians to fill them. This...... Your men didn't do it behind your back, did they? ”
King Han took a deep breath, but calmed down a lot, and he asked calmly, "What do you want?" ”
Since this silver-faced guest knew what he had done, he did not go to the court to sue him for rebellion, but went to the Han Wang's mansion to chat with him, he must have a plan.
"As I said, I'm here to help you. As for myself, I just looked at the one on the throne who was not pleasing to the eye, he almost killed my inner man with an arrow, and I must avenge this revenge. ”
King Han's mind quickly turned: I haven't heard which woman Zhu Zhanji is going to shoot to death, is it a love feud? That kid is young and vigorous, but there is a possibility.
His tone softened a lot, and he asked, "Then Your Excellency is here for this whistle-blowing letter?" ”
"Isn't that enough? You are not fully prepared, but you give the emperor an excuse to copy your palace, do you think that you have a private collection of weapons and armor, does the emperor not know? ”
King Han has completely calmed down now, and he also feels that Hu Yanjin's words are reasonable, but he has been greedy for several years since he was not greedy for salt transportation, and he raised horses and recruited soldiers, which all cost money.
"This ...... I don't know if you have any suggestions? ”
"The emperor is still in a dilemma at this time, and above the main hall, there is a war of words every day, and this whistleblower letter may prompt the emperor to make up his mind. I can stop you once, but I can't stop you every time. ”
Hu Yanjin's smiling lips made King Han feel a little familiar.
"Therefore, you should return part of the salt money as soon as possible to give the emperor a step, and don't care about those officials who are caught in this case, their lives are not worth exchanging for your future."
"So...... Okay? What if the emperor is too little and refuses to give up? ”
Hu Yanjin looked a little impatient, and said, "You won't be generous and come up with a number that makes him not too small?" If you fall, I can still go to King Zhao, you ...... But there was no chance to do it all over again. ”
He saw that the king of Han was silent, and knew that he had already moved his heart, and then took advantage of the victory to pursue and said:
"While you return the salt payment, you can put forward a few suggestions for the people's livelihood that benefit the country and the people, and your requirements, if the emperor agrees to them all, it means that the emperor has dispelled his doubts about you. You'll also have more time to prepare. ”
This time, King Han finally nodded and said:
"Yes, that's a good idea. The king will dispose of it at his discretion. Since Your Excellency has the heart to help this king, why don't you help this king under the account of this king? ”
Hu Yanjin laughed and said: "It's all from your internal strength, how can you resist the combination of inside and outside, and come more accurately?" Your Royal Highness King Han, rest assured, I will appear when you need it. You see, what's that? ”
King Han followed Hu Yanjin's hand and looked at the bookshelf on the right, but he didn't see anything, only heard a soft knock on the door, and the silver-faced man had already left.
Zhu Gaoxu breathed a deep sigh of relief, picked up the whistleblower letter on the table again, and was convinced that what had just happened was true.
I can't help but sigh: It's really a master in the folk!
