After sending the four people away, Huo Yi returned to the office and saw Li Ji reading Zhou Zaiheng's written information.

He couldn't help but ask: "Why do adults pay so much attention to Zhou Zaiheng, in the eyes of his humble position, he is just a little outstanding young man." Even if he is excellent, he has not yet entered the university, and he cannot be an official, so it is too early to pay attention. ”

Li Ji smiled: "You don't understand, this matter is very important, and I can't tell you without Your Majesty's permission." You just need to know that this Zhou Zaiheng is far more than what is revealed now, he is now in the emperor's heart, and he should be more important in the future. ”

"It's Your Majesty's attention!" Huo Yi was taken aback and felt that he couldn't understand it anymore.

At this time, the phone in the room rang, and Li Ji answered the phone, umped a few times, and hung up the phone. "Let's go, they brought back Qian Kun and Yuan Sheng, I'll go meet them."

The two were about to go out when there was a knock on the door and a civilian came in with a message. "My lord, Your Majesty has sent a telegram again, asking you to bring someone to respond to Tianfu first."

At this time, it was already midnight in Ying Tianfu, and Li Ji sighed and said, "Our majesty, your majesty, is too anxious. Leave him alone, I'll take care of things before I talk about it. ”

The civilian staff handed over the telegram and reported: "I'm still waiting for a reply over there!" ”

Li Ji said: "Check whether there are any flights to respond to Tianfu in addition to civil aviation in the past few days, and call me back later." ”

When the civilian personnel left, Li Ji said to Huo Yi: "Three telegrams a day, do you know how much Your Majesty attaches importance to this Zhou Zaiheng?" ”

Huo Yi couldn't help but ask, "My lord, what is he capable of?" ”

Li Ji smiled and said: "In my opinion, he has the ability of Ma Dian, the father of electricity, and now Pope Leonardo da Vinci, you don't need to know anything else." Just keep on good terms with him. ”

Huo Yi was shocked, the father of electricity, Ma Dian, invented the telephone, invented wireless telegraphy, and countless electric products.

Daming entered the era of electricity, almost all of which was due to him.

Although Leonardo da Vinci was a foreigner, he came to Daming at the age of twelve, was accepted as a righteous son by Princess Yongheng, and finally married his daughter to him and became a clan.

He showed unparalleled artistic talent at a young age, and his oil paintings were all priceless.

His greater contribution was to the study of inventions, which he continued to invent from the age of sixteen onwards, and has since invented more than 5,000 inventions.

Daming's biggest aircraft today is what he improved.

Originally, the speed of a plane was only more than 200 kilometers per hour, and there were only 20 people on board, and at most only 30 or 40 people.

However, after his repeated improvements, today's largest aircraft has reached a speed of 500 kilometers per hour and can carry more than 100 people.

In addition to airplanes, there are also trains, automobile technology, various construction machinery, etc., all of which have promoted the development of Daming.

Although his research is not as high-end as that of Horse Electric, it is more comprehensive in terms of daily applications.

Li Ji now compares Zhou Zaiheng with the two of them, thinking of the status of the two of them in Daming, Huo Yi understands a little.

If they are one type of person, then they are all people who have the ability to change the world.

And such a person will receive the greatest attention and respect in Daming.

Huo Yi understood and said, "In other words, Your Majesty already knows Zhou Zaiheng's ability, and my lord, you want to protect Zhou Zaiheng this time?" ”

Li Ji smiled and said, "Your Majesty is so anxious, I'm afraid I won't be able to delay for a few days, and I will take Zhou Zaiheng away." You have to stay in Dongzhou for me and continue to act according to the predetermined plan, not only to cover my whereabouts and not let people know my purpose, but also to solve Zhou Zaiheng's worries. ”

Huo Yi nodded and asked, "Do you have a strategy?" ”

Li Ji said with a smile: "I will take it away from the head of King Xue's mansion, and the Tang Wang's mansion will also take care of it." You stay in Dongzhou, protect the Zhou family and the Liu family, and don't let Xue Wangfu make a big mistake. His Majesty wants to protect Zhou Zaiheng, but he is unwilling to make a big deal about it. ”

"My subordinates understood."

Li Ji specially confessed: "Don't publicize Zhou Zaiheng's affairs, as a top secret." ”

"Understood."

In Jin Yiwei's interview room, Qian Kun and Yuan Sheng were arranged to go in.

The old god Qian Kun was there, but Yuan Sheng was restless.

Qian Kun belongs to the subordinate officials of the palace, and his fate has been linked to the Tang palace.

But Yuan Sheng is not, although he is subordinate to the palace guards, each prince's palace has 3,000 guards, and the imperial court is responsible for military salaries.

In terms of attribution, the palace guards also belong to the local army, and form a local guard force with the government soldiers.

If a mistake is made, not only the royal palace has the right to deal with it, but the imperial court has a more direct right to deal with it.

He also knew that the plan was not meticulous this time, because of the cross-border arrangement, there were many loopholes, and he could not afford to investigate.

And he didn't dare to pin his fate on Zhu Liqing.

Li Ji took Huo Yi to observe the two of them separately from the observation mirror, and first entered Yuan Sheng's room.

When Yuan Sheng was panicked, he saw the two of them coming in, and as soon as he saw Li Ji's red python robe, his heart was broken, he didn't dare to look directly, and knelt down on one knee. "I have seen the general Yuan Sheng."

Li Ji ignored him and walked straight to the back of the desk and sat down, Huo Yi stood behind him, their eyes blazing, staring at Yuan Sheng.

"Look up."

Yuan Sheng looked up and saw the appearance of the two clearly, and he was even more frightened. He couldn't have imagined that it was Li Ji, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who came in.

People in the army already worship the strong, and the photo of Li Ji, the great grandmaster, is widely circulated, and he naturally knows it.

Thinking that what he had done could be regarded as aiding and abetting, he had no heart to resist.

If you offend Tang Wangfu, you can still live in another place, and if you offend Jinyiwei, there is no place in the world.

Being stared at by the two, he trembled, although the other party hadn't asked a word, but he didn't have the heart to hide it.

"Do you know why you were detained?"

Yuan Sheng didn't dare to raise his head, and said in a trembling voice: "It's a crime to be despicable." ”

Huo Yi smiled, and let the other party speak so easily, saving a lot of trouble. "The commander made the lord here, and if he has committed any sin, he will be forgiven and he will be innocent."

"Yes!"

In just a quarter of an hour, Yuan Sheng made arrangements for that night, and he didn't dare to hide anything.

Subsequently, Li Ji and Huo Yi took Yuan Sheng into Qian Kun's room, and compared to Yuan Sheng, he knew more about current affairs.

The commander of the Jinyi guard came forward in person, what can't be found out?

Today, Jin Yiwei intervened, and he had an ominous premonition, and when he saw Li Ji, he knew that Zhu Liqing's arrangement was in vain.

Yuan Sheng's anti-water is a matter of course, no one can face Li Ji and dare to hide it, and he doesn't dare.

Both bowed their heads in front of Lee Ki, made the whole story of the night clear, and signed the record.

In King Xue's mansion, although the good old man Xue Wang Ye has been the prince for twenty-six years, this prince who was praised by Gao Zu as a person of duty is still an invisible person in Xuezhou.

Whether on the radio or on the news, this prince rarely appears, and lives in seclusion in the courtyard of Long Island all the year round, and his favorite thing to do is to play with his sailboat.

He is a fan of sailing, and when he was young, he participated in the Ming Games and won a silver medal, which is also the proudest thing in his life.

The Xuezhou County Guard has repeatedly used large-scale infrastructure to occupy Xuezhou's tax revenue, and even operated in deficits, in order not to give Xue Wangfu dividends.

A few years ago, he sued, but neither the Zongzheng Mansion nor the Governor's Mansion ignored him.

He also understood what was going on, so he died down and hid in the courtyard on Long Island, and did not enter the city at all.

This time, it was Jin Yiwei who commanded Li Ji to tour Dongzhou as a minister, and the first stop was Xuezhou, so he returned to the city.

He also knows a little about what his eldest daughter Zhu Lihua does, but he, a good old man, did not interfere.

For him, it is naturally better for his granddaughter to be a princess than to marry an outsider.

On this day, he knew that the trial in the morning was not going well, and he also comforted his daughter and asked her not to be too aggressive.

This daughter is his eldest daughter, and as the first person of the next generation, she has been acting generously since she was a child, taking care of her younger siblings.

Of course, because of his high birth, he inevitably acts a little domineering.

But in Xuezhou, everyone has to give her some face.

At lunchtime, she just said to the old prince that she dined alone with the people of Tang Wangfu in the side courtyard.

The old prince didn't care, he was just eating and waiting for death now, he had to get by when he was young, and he was about to go into the ground, and he wouldn't fight for anything.

Anyway, the ninety-nine princes' mansions are at ease, but there are no dividends, and the annuity is enough.

However, before lunch was over, Jinyiwei came to summon that Li Ji would visit after dinner.

This is not the right time, the weather in July has not yet begun and the noon is unbearable.

Even the imperial court yamen and factories are still resting at this time.

However, after receiving the summons, the whole Xue Wangfu immediately prepared to prevent the commander from feeling rude.

Zhu Lihua and others felt bad because Qian Kun and Yuan Sheng were taken away, and before they could discuss an agenda at noon, they received the news that Li Ji was coming to visit.

One by one, they changed into their dresses and gathered in the lobby of the palace, waiting for the guests to come to the door.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, when the scorching sun was shining, five cars drove into the gate of the palace.

Headed by Xue Wangye, the prince in the palace, the county king, and the county lord lined up in turn, and ushered in Li Ji, who got off in the first car.

At yesterday's banquet, Li Ji behaved very kindly, and in the eyes of everyone, he was a kind person who was no more than thirty years.

But when he visited today, when his momentum was released, everyone could feel the pressure of the momentum as soon as they saw him.

Zhu Lihua, who stood in fifth place, was oppressed, and through this oppression, she thought of the oppression of the royal family on the clan.

In the past, she always thought that they were all descendants of Gaozu, but the royal family didn't think so because they accounted for the eldest son and eldest grandson.

But now, she felt the gap.

Everyone saw the salute one by one, and was about to welcome Li Ji into the lobby, but they heard Li Ji say: "Lord Xue, I didn't want to be a villain when I visited today, but Ji was under the emperor's order, and I didn't want to see Xue Wangfu go further and further away, so I could only succumb to your hospitality." ”

Xue Wangye didn't realize it yet, but he saw Li Ji raise his right hand and bring down two people from the last car, it was Qian Kun and Yuan Sheng.
