Ji Gang actually knew that something was wrong.

At this time, His Majesty asked.

He constantly pushes himself to calm down.

He knew that if he answered the wrong sentence right now, he would die without a place to be buried.

It's just that...... Can he say that this is His Majesty's hint that the ministers must take down King Ning?

This sentence can't be said even if you die, after all, if you don't say it, you may only lose one head.

If you say that, you're going to lose your head.

But how can it be explained?

His heart was sorrowful.

If it was in the past, without Zhang Anshi, what if King Ning was wronged?

His Majesty has suspected him of rebellion, and this King Ning will definitely die.

But where did he think that Zhang Anshi came out directly to reverse the matter.

Thinking of this, Ji Gang couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Now I can only do everything I can to protect myself.

Ji Gang said: "Minister...... The sin of ten thousand deaths. ”

Zhu Di turned around: "Ten thousand deaths?" How many times have you said these words? ”

Zhu Di's face was expressionless.

In fact, Zhu Di did not blame Ji Gang for forcing King Ning.

After all, although he did not make an order, he also hinted at it.

Ji Gang dared to do this, and even had merit.

But the problem is that this guy is so stupid, the commander of the dignified brocade guard, and he is really lost face by being played around.

If this person is a little bit as rigorous and intelligent as Zhang Anshi, why did he come to such a point?

Ji Gang wanted to cry without tears: "Minister...... Minister...... I know what to do. ”

He said it suddenly.

It made Zhu Di's face sink slightly, and then he glanced at him meaningfully: "Really?" ”

Ji Gang calmed down slightly: "Minister...... I must give an explanation to His Royal Highness King Ning! ”

Zhu Di put his hands behind his back, as if smiling, and then looked at Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, and said, "Seventeenth brother, what do you think?" ”

Zhu Quan only said: "Brother wait and see." ”

Zhu Di said: "Very good. ”

He said lightly: "Get out." ”

These three words, unspeakable disgust.

Ji Gang kowtowed, but he didn't feel relaxed at all at this time, he knew very well that he had to pay a heavy price, very heavy.

He is the emperor's eagle dog, and he has made great achievements, and this time he has committed such a thing, there must be a result.

But obviously, as a meritorious dog, he can't let His Majesty fall into injustice, and he can't let people say that His Majesty slaughtered meritorious heroes.

So...... There are some things that he has to decide on his own.

So he said with a grim face: "Your Majesty...... Minister...... Leave. ”

With that, he stood up in despair, and then walked away slowly.

From the corner of Zhu Di's eyes, he only glanced at Ji Gang's back.

Soon, he withdrew his gaze, as if he didn't take Ji Gang to heart.

His eyes fell on Zhu Quan's body again, and he smiled reluctantly: "The seventeenth brother finally came to the capital, he should stay for a while, our brothers haven't talked about the old for a long time, when the emperor ordered you and me to guard the border town, we attacked Mobei together, at that time...... How intimate it is, and now ...... On the contrary, it looks rusty. ”

As he spoke, he said: "The traitors are in turmoil, separating you and my brother, I am very uneasy about this, and I hope that the seventeenth brother will not take it to heart, if the seventeenth brother is still dissatisfied, I will say that it is okay, I will change it." ”

His attitude was humble.

Zhu Di treats his relatives with one attitude, as long as you don't rebel, it's easy to say anything, after all, I, Zhu Di, were martyred back then, but under the banner of avenging the suffering clansmen.

What's more, he is really sorry for others.

Zhu Quan sighed and said: "Hey, the family members were frightened, and now they are very uneasy, the younger brother entered the palace, they are only afraid that they are also anxious, so let the younger brother go to the Honglu Temple first, settle the family, and then think about other things in the long run." ”

Zhu Di smiled: "That's very good." ”

Then he looked at Yishuha: "Spread the message to Honglu Temple, if the hospitality is not good, I will not spare it." ”

Yisha hurriedly said: "The slave obeys the order." ”

Zhu Quan immediately said goodbye, and when he was leaving, he glanced at Zhang Anshi, his face softened, and he said with a smile: "This time, if it weren't for the rescue of An Nanhou, I am afraid that this king will already be in a different place, and I will not thank you." ”

Zhang Anshi nodded at him: "Your Highness is polite, the lower officials are just loyal to their own affairs." ”

Zhu Quan nodded, and then took his leave.

Seeing Zhu Quan leave, Zhu Di put his hands behind his back, as if he had been suppressed for a long time, and suddenly exploded, his face was full of anger, and he scolded and scolded in his mouth: "If you enter his mother, I will become a faint king." These people ...... It's so hateful, I'm going to tear them to pieces...... That Chen Ying, it seems that he can't ask anything anymore, so he will be beheaded all over the house, and the businessmen who colluded with this Chen Ying will also be killed. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Yes." ”

Zhu Di said again: "As for the seventeenth brother...... Damn, I've really lost my face this time, Jinyiwei...... Incompetence to such a point, what use do you want them? ”

Zhang Anshi only smiled and did not say anything.

Zhu Di looked at him and said, "What do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has no opinion." Zhang Anshi said: "Jinyiwei is not useless, but the way of doing things is a little rough." Ultimately...... Almost all of the Jinyi guards are not so much trying to arrest the rebels as they are trying to figure out the holy will......"

Zhu Di nodded subconsciously, he agreed with this.

Whether it is guilty or not, in fact, Jinyiwei doesn't care, what they care about is ...... Your Majesty hopes that there will be no ......

Or...... It is better to plant more stolen goods and make the case bigger, and the bigger the trouble, the more you will show your ability and merit.

Zhu Di said: "Inner thousand households, money and food should be increased, and personnel can also be increased, how many people do you need, report to me, deputy thousand households, hundreds of households, general flags, small banners, military attachés, do not need to report to me, you can directly come to identify, and afterwards, you can report to me." ”

After that, Zhu Di thought about it, and then said: "What is the origin of the person behind the scenes?" These people are really unpredictable! At first, I thought it was a thief, but then I realized that it was a thief, but later I found that it was becoming more and more difficult. If these people are not cut off for a day, it is really difficult to sleep and eat for a day. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister is still investigating, and there are still some key places that need to be sorted out." Please rest assured, Your Majesty, give the minister some more time, and the minister and the inner thousand households will definitely try their best to find out. ”

Zhu Di said: "If it can be thoroughly investigated, it will be a great achievement." ”

Saying that, Zhu Di sat down and said: "I do have a place where I can't live with King Ning, this time, I'm afraid that he will have more complaints about me in his heart." ”

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

"What do you mean by that?" Zhu Di glared at Zhang Anshi and said angrily.

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty's meaning is the meaning of the minister." ”

Zhu Di sneered: "You don't know what I mean, how do you know that what I mean is what you mean?" ”

Zhang Anshi: "......"

Zhu Di said: "You don't think that I will make a mistake and simply take this opportunity to eradicate King Ning, right?" ”

Zhang Anshi: "......"

Zhu Di shook his head and said: "You can't do this, I am the Son of Heaven, although sometimes, I have to do something that goes against my conscience." But this kind of thing is absolutely impossible to do, otherwise, what is the difference between me and Jianwen's cutting of the domain? ”

Saying that, Zhu Di smiled coldly: "King Ning has no objection, it is already very gratifying to me, after all, he is still the brother who swept the desert together." Of course, I did fear him, in other words, he was jealous of me, and it was also his blessing. ”

Zhang Anshi saw Zhu Di babbling about this and that, and knew that Zhu Di's mood was very entangled.

So Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "Dare to ask Your Majesty what are your next plans?"

Zhu Di sighed and said, "Naturally, let him go back to Nanchang Mansion." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty is not afraid of letting the tiger return to the mountain?" Even if King Ning doesn't rebel, sooner or later, it will ...... In the future, his children and grandchildren may not be willing to swallow this breath......"

Zhu Di's eyes flickered, and he raised his eyes and said, "Do you have an idea?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "There are so many vassal kings in the world, Your Majesty, Emperor Taizu Gao is benevolent and kind to his relatives, and he is reluctant to let his children and grandchildren suffer, so the conditions given to the clan are too generous." Minister...... Settle an account. ”

Zhu Di was silent.

Zhang Anshi continued: "You see Emperor Taizu Gao, gave birth to twenty-six sons, and there were nearly twenty people who survived, and they spread out again, the eldest son inherited the title of prince, and the second son inherited the king of the county, to the second generation, the third generation, and then all kinds of Fengguo generals and auxiliary generals, the minister thought that if it went on like this, within ten generations, there would be nearly 100,000 people in the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"In the Han Dynasty, there was a man named King Jing of Zhongshan, who only lived to be more than 50 years old, but he gave birth to more than 120 sons. If this continues, there are only tens of millions of households in the world, and the clan relatives to feed are hundreds of thousands of princes, county kings, county lords, and generals. According to the Yulu set by Emperor Taizu Gao, as well as the gift of the grange, even if the entire treasury is given to them, it is far from enough. ”

After a pause, Zhang Anshi continued: "With such a large number of people, if there are people with different aspirations, the imperial court will need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to monitor them. But if you don't have great ambitions, but you get drunk and dream of death all day long, eat fine clothes and food every day, marry wives and concubines, just like the walking dead. Don't...... Are these what His Majesty expects? ”

"Now many princes are still there, when Emperor Taizu Gao raised them, they still have some skills, such as King Ning, even if it is the king of that generation, Zhu Gui, is also skilled in bows and horses. The reason why they have different intentions is nothing more than that they have empty skills and have nowhere to show them, but once they are allowed to display their skills, the court will inevitably be uneasy. It's just that the minister still thinks that the national policy of the clan relatives cannot last long, and sooner or later it will bring a heavy burden to the imperial court. ”

After Zhu Di patiently listened to Zhang Anshi's long words, he nodded faintly and said, "How can I not understand? It's just that I must not be a clan relative. ”

His attitude is very clear, others can do this, but he Zhu Di can't do this.

Zhang Anshi knew Zhu Di, so he was not surprised by his answer, so he said: "Then why doesn't Your Majesty let them display their talents?" ”

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows puzzled and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Does Your Majesty remember King Han?" He is now in Annan, and every day he only thinks about expanding the territory for our firm, and he feels that every day is very fulfilling! You see, now he doesn't just have the opportunity to show his talents. And it can also earn a steady stream of money and food for His Majesty. And that's not all...... It can also open up territory for my Ming Dynasty. ”

In the past, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a stumbling block in the minds of the King of Han, and he always felt that if there was no Prince, he would be able to succeed to the throne. But now, he is dependent on His Royal Highness the Prince, because in that distant place, he must rely on His Majesty, the Prince, and the merchants' support for him to fulfill his long-cherished wish. This...... In fact, it is similar to the division of the Zhou Dynasty......"

"At the beginning, the Zhou Dynasty divided a large number of clansmen into various parts of the world, and now I am the Ming Dynasty, isn't it the same? This pass is the original Guanzhong, and today's extraterritorial world is the land of Kyushu at the beginning, and the princes are assigned to give them military power, so that they can become the real lords of the country, the governor's side, and so on...... There is only good for me Daming, and there is no harm. ”

Zhu Di frowned and said, "But this Zhou Dynasty, after all, is also dead." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Zhou has the world for 800 years, and all dynasties and dynasties, who can match it?" ”

After a pause, Zhang Anshi said again: "What's more, if all the princes in the world are the descendants of Emperor Taizu Gao, especially in the future, His Majesty's sons, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren will also be divided one by one, even if there are changes in the world in the future, if there is really chaos, then ...... Eight hundred years later, nine times out of ten, those who win the world are still the descendants of Emperor Taizu Gao or His Majesty. ”

Zhu Di was moved.

In fact, Zhang Anshi said these words to any emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but he was afraid that the other party would also think that he was an idiot.

Only Zhu Di, the emperor who pioneered the Western Ocean, conquered Annan, swept Mobei, and created countless predecessors and descendants did not do it, seems to have some interest in this.

Zhu Di hesitated and said, "I can't force them to go to that wild place." ”

"It's easy, set an example first. For example, His Royal Highness King Ning, return all the guards of His Royal Highness King Ning, let him regain military power, take people out of the town, and let other vassal kings see, instead of being here and doing so, it is better to go out and fight a piece of the world by himself. ”

Zhu Di's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but stand up: "What do you mean......"

Zhang Anshi said: "I have to let everyone see the sweetness, when the time comes, Your Majesty doesn't need to speak, and those vassal kings are afraid that they will also have their hearts." The sons of Emperor Taizu Gao have few cowardices. But if it drags on......"

This is a stop here, but the meaning is clear.

If it drags on, the children and grandchildren of these people may really be raised as pigs.

Zhu Di thought for a while, and said: "Since it is a model, how can you give him sweetness?" ”

Zhang Anshi said eloquently: "Like the King of Han, the military and civil affairs are handed over to them, and they are still in the mode of a commercial house. On the side of the vassal king and governor, let them expand their territory and give them business dividends! Not only that, but the cronies and henchmen who are willing to serve them are also allowed to take them, in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, they are vassal kings, and out of the Ming Dynasty, they are no different from the king of Korea and the king of Annam. ”

Zhu Di said: "How can I restrain them? ”

"Two hands to prepare, one hand is the patriarchy, of course, the patriarchal law is only the blood of family affection, although it is useful, but it is useless. The second is the trading house, just like the king of the Han Dynasty, they are outside the territory, and most of the people on all sides are natives, and most of the people who can rely on them are the guards around them and the families who have migrated. On the one hand, the matter of marrying the maid of the East Palace can be extended to all military attaches outside the territory. On the other hand, their greatest advantage over the natives was firearms and ordnance, which had to be supplied through the merchants, otherwise they would ...... The natives are ten times as many as them, how can they win? Finally, it's the fleet......"

"Fleet?" Zhu Di stared at Zhang Anshi.

"The fleet of treasure ships will bring back the specialties of all parts of the world wherever they pass in the future, and the necessities of all places will be brought over, so that they will become dependent on the fleet, and so on...... They have ambitions, but their enemies ...... From his own clan brothers, he has become countless local natives, which is called transferring contradictions, and when the contradictions are transferred, the relationship between brothers is close. ”

"In the final analysis, even if they stay in Daming, Your Majesty will become a stumbling block for them to show their ambitions. But once they go to sea, Your Majesty will become their biggest support for expanding their territory, if there is no support from Your Majesty, tens of thousands of guards and hundreds of thousands of dependents, it will be a lone army, and they will not be able to support it at all. ”

Zhu Di listened, his eyes brightened a little invisibly, and he said, "King Ning...... Then start with King Ning, if you take the King of Han, the King of Han is the son of me, others may not be convinced. It's just that...... I'm afraid that King Ning will refuse, and I can't demolish his palace in Nanchang. ”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm going to deceive ...... The ministers went and persuaded him. ”

Zhu Di looked at him cautiously and said, "This matter ...... The stakes are high, don't go wrong. ”

Zhu Di is a person, once he has an idea, he is very courageous, that is, he is only allowed to succeed, not to fail.

Zhang Anshi said: "That minister will visit him tomorrow, just learn more from him." ”

"Be respectful." Zhu Di didn't forget to advise: "He still has resentment in his stomach now." ”

"Yes."

Zhang Anshi was in a very happy mood, if so, then the problem of clan relatives might be solved.

Of course, the most important thing is that for Zhang Anshi, once this head is opened, then the national policy of going to the West, I am afraid that no one will dare to oppose it in later generations, after all, the emperor of later generations, who would dare to kill and bury it? Abandoned his clan relatives thousands of miles away, and then ...... Sheets are not allowed to go into the sea.

His own nephew, the future foundation can be a little stronger.

In addition to this, there are also comptoirs...... I'm afraid this business house is also about to usher in a boom.

Of course, those vassal kings are all chicken thieves, and they are not so easily deceived, after all, who doesn't want to enjoy Qingfu?

So...... It takes some means to make it happen.

…………

"Master."

A man in armor hurried into a large tent.

What he wore was a mountain armor, which was usually worn by generals in border towns.

Outside this armor, covered with a red robe, the Ming Dynasty is still vermilion, whether it is the court or the military generals, mostly decorated with vermilion.

On the top of this person's head, he wore a flying saucer hat, which was also a common decoration for officers and soldiers in border towns.

The flying saucer hat obscured the person's face, and he gave a military salute to one of the people in the big tent before saying, "The news came from the express shop just now......"

"Huh?" Sitting behind the case was a man who looked like a weak scholar, he raised his head lazily, stared at the military attache and said, "Is King Ning dead?" ”

"Not dead."

“……”

"It's strange to say, originally...... I thought that King Ning would definitely die, but who knew ......"

"It seems...... It's that Zhang Anshi again. ”

"How can the master see it? Maybe it's the Ji Gang......"

The weak scholar seemed to be impetuous, he couldn't help coughing, and finally said with a wry smile: "You don't understand Ji Gang...... Ji Gang just wants to get credit, he doesn't care who rebels, he just hopes that things are as big as possible, Ji Gang is a very smart person, but his desire is too heavy, no desire is rigid, and once a person is dissatisfied, then ...... You will lose your judgment of things. The only one who can see through this situation is Zhang Anshi. ”

"This man is hateful!"

Wen Weak Scholar said: "If it goes on like this, it will be troublesome, they will continue to investigate, in this world, the most feared thing is one thing, that is, to track it to the end, as long as anything is done, there will definitely be traces, hey...... Why is there such a variable, and how can this Annperia guess ......"

"What's next?"

"Patience."

"But ......"

"Bear with me." The weak scholar became more and more impetuous, and he was obviously annoyed that the things he had worked so hard to arrange were recognized.

He coughed desperately again, took a silk scarf to cover his mouth, and said after a long time: "Stare Qi Xia to death, every move must be reported......"

"Otherwise, the master will go to the desert to take refuge."

The man shook his head: "Things haven't gotten so bad yet...... Zhang Anshi...... doesn't have such a ability, if it really comes to the point where you want to go to Monan to hide...... It's too unbearable, so let's prepare the car...... Spare car ......"

"Where is the master going?"

"Go to the capital."

"Ah......h

"The most dangerous place, the safest." The man said lightly: "What's more, there are so many of us in the capital...... At this time, some of them must have begun to get restless, and if I were there, they would have calmed down, and now the most important thing is to stabilize people's hearts. Once people's hearts are shaken, they will lose everything. Let's go get ready for the car......"

The military attache hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Yes." ”

"Ahem, cough, cough, ......"

In the big tent, there was a series of coughs......

………………

Ji Gang sat silently in the public room for forty-eight hours.

For forty-eight hours, he did not move at all.

He just stared straight into the void and didn't say a word.

Occasionally, he smiled wryly.

At this time, the scribe crept in and brought him some food.

Ji Gang barely ate a few bites, and then, pushing the food aside, he suddenly said to the scribe: "Have you ever encountered a situation, that is...... No matter how hard you try, you will eventually find that you are just a lackey who can be abandoned at any time......"

The scribe said with sincere fear: "Student...... Student ......"

Ji Gang stared at him, and the scrivener's body bowed lower: "The student is also the dog...... of the governor"

Ji Gang closed his eyes, sighed, and then said, "Hey...... I'm unwilling, I'm unwilling, so many years...... How can I waste my hard work? Clear...... I'm where I am today...... If I had known this, I should have been content, and if I had been content, I would not have ...... to this day."

The scribe was relieved: "The governor does not have to ......"

Ji Gang shook his head: "Hey...... It's useless to say more. ”

With that, he took out a dagger from his waist, and slowly placed the dagger on the candlestick, allowing the candle to burn.

The scribe was shocked and trembled: "If the student makes any mistakes, please ......supervise you."

At this moment, suddenly...... The dagger was clenched tightly in Ji Gang's left hand. Then, the dagger stabbed hard at his right wrist.

"Ah......h

The dagger pierced his right wrist.

Blood arrows splattered in his face.

He was hideous, his eyes bloodshot and red, but he still refused to give up. Continuing to hold the dagger, he began to slowly cut through his wrist.

The wound on his wrist grew bigger and bigger, perhaps touching the bones of his hand, so that no matter how hard he tried to cut his left hand, his face began to twist, and his face was covered with blood and cold sweat.

The scribe exclaimed.

"Governor, Governor...... You're ......"

"Whoever breaks the rules must give it up."

"Governor...... Or please...... Come, Governor, ......."

Ji Gang almost passed out.

He continued to exert force with his left hand, slowly cutting his right wrist and watching ...... The flesh, fascia, and bone bloodlines were exposed, and he gritted his teeth...... Sen Sen said: "In this world, who dares to hurt me a single hair? Only I, Ji Gang, can ...... Can ......"

Cluck......

The blade of the dagger has long since rolled up......

But the hand bones that had been cut were broken violently.

Ji Gang laughed...... Looking at the palm with only the flesh attached and the bloody wrist incision......

"Go and get a doctor...... Come to bandage, please...... Doctor! ”

He was weak.

Blood was flowing everywhere.

At his feet, a puddle of blood even formed.

But he didn't faint, but he was like a wounded beast, at this moment, in addition to the pain in his eyes, there was also a monstrous hatred brought by pain.

"No one...... Can you teach me a discipline...... Dead ......"

…………

Outside of public housing.

In this northern town Fusi, everyone heard the screams.

So many people were alarmed, and one by one they hid outside, listening to the howls coming from within.

This terrible roar is terrifying, these brocade guards have been in the guard for a long time, and I don't know how many people have been tortured.

But I had never heard such a scream.

What's more, this is still issued by Ji Dudu.

Thereupon...... Many people looked at each other, as if they were on their backs, and there was an indescribable fear.

…………

"Big brother, big brother...... Stuff got out, ...... Come and see ......."

At the same time, in this Qixia, I heard the cheerful voice of Qiu Song.

Maybe after a month, Qiu Song's words are not as many as they are today.

He slapped his belly excitedly, banging, and screamed outside Zhang Anshi's door: "Big brother...... Come out, if you don't come out, I'll take the lead. ”

"Don't, don't...... Here it comes...... Here ......" Zhang Anshi was disheveled, his shoes flew out, and he didn't have time to tie his belt, so that his breeches were loose, revealing half of his skin, and he said: "My dearest and beloved Brother Qiu Songxian...... I'm coming. ”

…………

It's fifteen thousand again, the tiger is almost fifteen thousand words a day, don't always scold Kavin, because it's really written every day until more than twelve o'clock, the tiger is old, and the number of words per day has reached the limit, and it can only be written to about fifteen thousand, thank you for your understanding.
