Hu Guang listened and was silent.

After a long while, he sighed, lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty's strange ...... of death"

Yang Rong stared at Hu Guang and said, "Some words, be cautious." ”

Hu Guangdao: "After all, we are courtiers, why are we still cautious at this time?" Now there are internal and external troubles, the government and the opposition are in an uproar, and the society has reached this point, I ......"

Hu Guang puffed out his cheeks and said: "This unprovoked death in Jiangxi, said that it was done by water thieves, when can the water thieves break through Jiujiang Mansion City?" This is too unclear, is it in the past? Jiangxi is a place where literati gather, how could such a thing happen? ”

Yang Rong said: "Since you said that it was not done by water thieves, then you can tell me, who did it?" ”

Hu Guangdao: "These days, I have also figured it out, behind this...... There must be someone who instructs someone to do such a thing, but someone who dares to instruct someone to do such a thing, and who can still profit from it...... I think...... Not ordinary people. ”

"You don't play dumb riddles."

Hu Guangdao: "Yang Gong, if you can collude with the water thieves, you can make the Jiangxi political envoys say in unison that the water thieves did it, and even ...... It is also possible to instruct the defenders in Jiujiang Mansion to open the door for the water thieves, and after the fact, they are not worried about being held accountable, how many people are there in the world? ”

Yang Rong said: "I don't know how many people there are, but I know that this must be Jiangyou's person." Hu Gong, this person can't be you, right? ”

Hu Guang's eyes widened suddenly, he was anxious, and said angrily: "Ridiculous, ridiculous, I, Hu Guang, have this heart, can I have this courage?" ”

Yang Rong said: "Okay, then tell me, who is this person?" ”

Hu Guang glanced left and right, and then lowered his voice and said, "In the past few days, haven't you noticed that Jin Gongcheng is negotiating with people every day?" I heard that he was the first to hear the news of His Majesty, so he hurriedly took someone to see His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Yang Rong glanced at Hu Guang lightly, and said meaningfully: "There are some things that can't be said nonsense. ”

Hu Guangdao: "He hides his ...... on weekdays"

Yang Rong smiled and said: "So, he looks like the master behind this scene?" ”

"You see, I got the news so early, and I was too close to so many people, and even more, I ......"

Yang Rong looked at him with blazing eyes and said, "If you say so, in fact, Hu Gong is also very suspicious. ”

Hu Guang: "......"

Yang Rong continued: "You are so concerned about Your Majesty's affairs, and rashly accuse this of having something to do with Jin Gong, it can be seen that you are a thief with a weak heart and want to cause trouble, not only that, you still look honest on weekdays, I can't say, this is your wisdom and foolishness, on the surface you are honest, but in fact it is unfathomable, and you have already secretly planned for the overall situation today." ”

Hu Guang suddenly glared at him angrily and scolded: "You ...... person"

Yang Rong sighed and said: "The reason why I say this is to tell you that the matter is inconclusive at the moment, and at this time, it is better not to think nonsense." ”

Hu Guang had no choice but to hang his head and say, "Okay, good, you can be good at arguing." ”

As he was talking, he was caught off guard, and someone outside coughed: "Yang Gong......"

Hearing this voice, Hu Guang snorted, this is Jin Youzi's voice.

Yang Rong said calmly: "Please come in." ”

Jin Youzi walked in and said with a smile: "Hu Gong is also here." ”

Hu Guang smiled dryly and said, "Is there something wrong with Gong Jin?" Then I'...... I happen to have some votes, farewells, farewells. ”

He was stunned, with a different color on his face, and hurried away.

Jin Youzi put his hands behind his back, his eyes were deep, and he watched Hu Guang leave, then he sat down slowly, looked at Yang Rong and said, "What did Hu Gong say?" ”

Yang Rong shook his head and said, "It's nothing, just some gossip." ”

"In this gossip, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with Jin."

Yang Rong only smiled and said nothing.

Jin Youzi didn't continue to dig deeper, but immediately said, "I found something today. ”

"Huh?" Yang Rong said: "Jin Gong, please speak." ”

"Jiang Chen, the left attendant of the military department...... He seemed to know something, and he had been testing me. ”

Yang Rong raised his eyes slightly and said, "This person is from Ruizhou Mansion, right?" ”

"Exactly." Jin Youzi said: "Eight years ago, he was recommended by Xie Jin and transferred from the prefect to the capital, and his career has been smooth since then. ”

Yang Rong pursed his lips, and then said: "A mere left squire of the military department should not be able to make such a big move." ”

"Nine times out of ten, this person is just an errand runner." Jin Youzi said: "He may know a lot of things, but he may not know a lot, I have talked to him, this person is frivolous, if I am the mastermind, I will not explain too much to him." ”

Yang Rong sighed: "At the beginning, I used the township party to enrich my wings, but all my fellow villagers were vigorously promoted, and all these disasters started from the dismissal of the public." ”

Jin Youzi was silent for a moment and said, "In addition, there are some people...... In the past two days, it seems to be jubilant, and there are many people involved......"

After saying that, he took out a roster from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Rong.

Yang Rong took it, only took a closer look, and then looked up: "I expected...... If Your Majesty dies, someone will inevitably come into contact with you. Although Hu Gong is also a person from Jiangyou, he has always acted secretly. I'm afraid that there are many people who put their hopes on you. ”

Jin Youzi said: "Over the years, my relatives in Xingan have always been taken care of, and there are many children in the township who have been taken care of. Are they such world-famous Confucians, do they really see that my idle nephews are really some kind of reading materials? I knew very well that I was just trying to use this to climb up to me. ”

Yang Rong smiled and said: "No wonder your official reputation is so good, everyone praises you, saying that you have a clean breeze on your sleeves, and you are a gentleman in Wenyuan Pavilion." ”

"Yang Gongxiu wants to make fun of it." Jin Youzi smiled reluctantly and said, "These false names are really not enough to worry about. ”

Yang Rong sighed again and said faintly: "Now Your Majesty...... What are your plans if something happens? ”

Jin Youzi said: "Youzi was just a scholar at the beginning, and the Hemeng saint will not forget it for a moment, how will the virtue of heaven and earth be repaid." Now, if Your Majesty is really in trouble, you should do everything you can to dig out these masterminds! In this way, Fang did not live up to his grace, and he did not read those poetry books in vain. ”

Yang Rong bowed his head: "You are from Jiangyou, sooner or later, someone will secretly contact you." It's just that...... When the truth is revealed, I am afraid that many of your township parties will be affected, and on the other day, they will spit on you for being ruthless. ”

Jin Youzi's face was calm, but he showed disdain: "Although they are fellow villagers, this kind of behavior is already despicable. What's more, when I was still a white body, I didn't make friends and led me to be a fellow villager. Today, thanks to His Majesty's love, I have this wealth, and this is the only way to get married, and everyone wants to marry me, and everyone says that they are fellow villagers, as if this distant relative and fellow townsman has become a great thing, and this kind of friendship is really ridiculous. ”

Yang Rong nodded and said, "Then continue to contact them, but you also have to be careful." ”

Jin Youzi smiled and said, "Yang Gong doesn't have to worry, don't you know my temperament?" Since I entered Wenyuan Pavilion, in Wenyuan Pavilion, how many people can think of a Jin Youzi in Wenyuan Pavilion? ”

Yang Rong laughed casually.

Although Jin Youzi is the least senior in Wenyuan Pavilion, he is indeed basically like a transparent person, rarely makes suggestions, and rarely shows up, and all departments will subconsciously look for Yang Rong and Hu Guang when they have something.

His taciturn character, and he seems to be missing in the Wenyuan Pavilion, is enough to see how deep his scheming is, such a person, whatever he does, he must be leakless.

While he was talking, suddenly, someone outside said in a panic: "Holy Driver...... Holy ......"

Yang Rong and Jin Youzi immediately got up, and the two glanced at each other.

"The holy driving is about to enter the palace, and the holy driving is about to enter the palace." But it was the voice of a scholar in the middle school, breaking the silence in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Yang Rong and Jin Youzi were shocked, but there was suspicion in their eyes.

Suddenly, Yang Rong laughed and said, "The Holy Driver entered the palace? Yes, this is the temperament of the saint, the saint is unpredictable, and never acts according to common sense, Jin Gong, Your Majesty is still here! ”

Jin Youzi immediately said: "Hurry up and catch the car." ”

Between the various ministries, everyone was silent, but at this juncture, almost everyone seemed to be extremely cautious, for fear that they would do the wrong thing and say the wrong thing.

But now, this news is like a big stone, falling directly into the ancient well that was originally waveless, and suddenly the waves rolled up.

Outside the Daming Gate, the ministers arrived in twos and threes.

The ministers were sad or happy, but even if they were sad and angry in their hearts, they also had a strong smile on their faces.

But Zhu Di seemed to be deliberately rubbing, and he didn't walk fast.

Therefore, outside the Ming Gate, there are already hundreds of officials.

After another moment, I saw Zhu Gaochi coming in a hurry.

He learned the news in Da Nei, Queen Xu heard the bad news, and immediately fainted, he didn't dare to slack off, he waited by the side, and didn't dare to leave.

And now...... After getting the news, Zhu Gaochi hurried over, and when he was out of breath, the holy car finally arrived.

The crown prince Zhu Gaochi led hundreds of officials to bow down and greet the holy driver.

Zhu Di rode a horse and came to the front of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi without hurrying or slow.

One turned over and dismounted, and he looked condescendingly at Zhu Gaochi, who was panting and his face was flushed with urgency.

At this time, it is estimated that the most embarrassing person is the prince.

When the old emperor reported the bad news that he might die, it was inevitable that some people would suspect that the prince was secretly happy behind his back.

But on the other hand, the prince should grieve when his father died.

"Father." Zhu Gaochi bowed and said.

Zhu Di smiled, glanced at him with complicated eyes, but he was silent and meaningful, and said slowly: "I heard that there are many people who are looking forward to my death, the prince and Qing, etc......... It seems that the ceremony for the enthronement of the new monarch is ready, right? ”

At this moment, the prince and all the officials changed color.

Zhu Di paced back and forth, looking at this piece of kneeling on the ground, and the people were pressing.

His eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile: "Isn't it...... Yang Qing's house? ”

This is to ask Yang Rong.

Yang Rong said calmly: "There are rumors from Jiangyou, the court and the central government have indeed been flustered for a while, and when they heard that His Majesty has changed, all the court and the central government are sad, especially His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

He replied with great certainty.

Zhu Di stared at him: "Really? ”

Zhu Di walked up to another person and said, "Hu Qing's family also sees it like this?" ”

Hu Guangdao: "What Yang Gong said is true. ”

Zhu Di came to Jin Youzi again: "Does Jin Qing think so too?" ”

Jin Youzi was silent.

After a while, he said calmly: "The minister is disposing of the ticket, and he doesn't dare to spy on His Royal Highness the Prince, so ...... I don't know. ”

Zhu Di laughed, but was noncommittal.

Almost everyone, in theory, gave the right answer.

Of course, any answer may not always be correct.

Because...... It depends on how His Majesty understands it.

His Majesty is the one who knows the art of power the most, or rather, this son of heaven who was born in Jingnan is the person who is the best at playing power tricks in the world.

After all, he has experienced too much and seen too much. Therefore, his understanding of things must be maverick.

Zhu Di suddenly came to Jin Zhong's face: "Jin Qing will also talk about it." ”

At this time, Jin Zhong looked at Zhu Di angrily and said: "Your Majesty is already a great blessing in the world to return to the palace safely, why do you return to the palace and don't ask if Sheji is stable and whether the people live and work in peace and contentment, but only ask about his son?" ”

He would go on.

Zhu Di waved his hand: "Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it." ”

Zhu Di paced a few more steps, and suddenly stopped in front of a person, he looked at this person deeply, and said, "Is Jiang Chen, the left attendant of the military department?" ”

The man kowtowed: "Jiang Chen, the left attendant of the Ministry of Ministers, has seen Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Di smiled and said: "You have always known soldiers, do you think so too?" ”

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment.

He said: "The minister is a mere servant, and he doesn't dare to discuss the affairs of the palace, the prince is sad and happy, and the minister has no way of knowing." ”

Zhu Di said: "What if you speculate? ”

"The minister does not dare to speculate." Jiang Chen said.

Zhu Di bowed his head, but suddenly said slowly: "But...... Since you have no way of knowing the joys and sorrows of the prince, but as far as I know, in the past few days, you have not only met the prince, but also met the prince twice. ”

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Chen's face suddenly changed.

He hurriedly said, "This ...... This is the first time ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Di interrupted: "The first time, you don't have to explain, the first time was when you met with Zhou Yan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, as for that Zhou Yan...... He has been imprisoned. Don't worry, he's going to die in it. Now, let's talk to me a second time. ”

Jiang Chen fell to the ground, his body began to tremble slightly, and then, he said in a hoarse voice: "The second time, I heard the bad news, and the ministers and the Jin Gongren waited...... Let's go to the East Palace to see His Royal Highness the Prince, hoping that at this time, His Royal Highness can preside over the overall situation. ”

Zhu Di nodded, his expression could not see joy and anger, and he only said: "It seems that your ears and eyes are quite well-informed." ”

The general tried to steady his voice and said, "Minister...... The minister also heard about it. ”

"Who's listening?"

"Rumors."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "After that, you also went to see Jin Youzi three times, Jin Zhong once, and Xia Yuanji twice, right?" ”

Jiang Chen hurriedly said: "This is just the courtesy of the minister. ”

Zhu Di said: "Your courtesy is a lot." ”

Jiang Chen's whole person trembled, and he was a little panicked.

At this time, everyone's eyes fell on him, but he became more and more cautious, and replied, "Minister...... Minister...... He is a minister...... ...... extraordinary times"

Zhu Di said: "In this way, it has worked hard for you, these days have been going back and forth, is this to help the building to fall, or to share worries for the country?" ”

"It's for the sake of the country." Jiang Chen said.

Zhu Di nodded, turned around abruptly, and looked back at the minister who was still kneeling on the ground.

Instead, his eyes glanced deeply at the crown prince Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi's whole person was tense, and he didn't dare to come out. To be honest, whoever has such a father has no heart.

Zhu Di seemed to take two steps.

Seeing Zhu Di's legs slowly leaving him, Jiang Chen's figure was stunned and he breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, Zhu Di reluctantly raised the horsewhip in his hand, and with a fierce blow, the horsewhip was thrown out quickly in the air, and it struck directly at this Jiang Chen.

This whip is like a spiritual snake, and with a snap, it tore the official clothes on Jiang Chen's body, and even the flesh and skin inside suddenly opened the flesh.

Jiang Chen was caught off guard and wailed.

But before he could continue to howl louder, another whip flew down.

The whip was even more ruthless, landing directly on his black gauze hat.

The black gauze hat was smashed in an instant, and Jiang Chenton felt that his head was not his own all of a sudden, so he was so busy holding his head with his hands in pain, wrinkling his face, and rolling up on the ground.

Zhu Di's boots quickly stepped on his sleeves again, making him unable to break free.

Zhu Di rolled the whip, and then the wooden handle of the whip turned into a short sword and stabbed him fiercely at the throat.

The whip handle is diamond-shaped, made of hardwood, and although the whip handle is not sharp, it is still under Zhu Di's extremely strong strength, and suddenly, it directly pierced Jiang Chen's throat.

Jiang Chen's body twitched, clutching his throat, he only felt that the cartilage of his Adam's apple was broken.

Immediately, he spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, his eyes opened openly, and the Tong hole shrank, as if he had seen a ghost, looking at Zhu Di in fear and pain.

His body squirmed, and with all his strength, he said a word: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... Don't kill me...... I...... I said......"

Zhu Di only smiled, lifted his foot, and then, the boot stepped on his face door fiercely, and this hard kick made his head in a strange posture, as if separated from his neck, directly crooked into a strange shape.

Jiang Chen's seven orifices were bleeding, and he was no longer breathing.

The air was eerily quiet, and everyone watched with trepidation.

Zhu Di took care of himself and stepped on Jiang Chen's corpse.

Seeing this, a eunuch hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down, and carefully wiped the blood stains on Zhu Di's boots with a silk silk.

Zhu Di didn't even bother to look at the person at his feet again, and said calmly: "Now I want to say, is it too late, some of your comrades want to say, not more than you." ”

Zhu Di said, his eyes like a shuttle, towards a person's face.

It's just that...... At this time, everyone was prostrate as much as possible, and no one dared to look into Zhu Di's eyes.

Only Zhang Anshi's heart was bleeding on the side, and he complained silently, now it's okay, Your Majesty, your force is pretending, pity my clue, and break it again.
