In the Nanjing City Jinyi Guardhouse.

The commander of the Jinyi guard made Jiang Xuan so anxious that he was walking around like an ant on a hot pot.

The two deputies and the five thousand households stood aside with their heads bowed, and they didn't dare to gasp.

However, a hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the Egret Pavilion standing at the end.

He had a secret letter in his sleeve, and the secrecy on it was very important.

If used correctly, this secret letter could even bring down a prince, and he could use it to go further.

It's just that he knows that this kind of thing is not that simple at all.

Not to mention that even the most unpopular vassal kings of the emperor did not dare to provoke them easily, except for the emperor, no one dared to convict them easily.

Of course, more importantly, Jin Yiwei was also facing heavy pressure at this time, and Jiang Xuankao at this time was afraid that he was anxious about this matter.

After a long time, Jiang Zhen finally stopped in front of the Egret Pavilion.

"Say, who told you to intercept and kill the acting king?"

Jiang Xuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he knew that if the investigation handed over to him by the emperor could not be completed, it would be a trivial matter to lose his official position, and he was afraid that his head would fall to the ground at that time.

But now there is no progress in his investigation at all, and the only living person who has some involvement with the acting king at the moment is this Qianhu who has just returned from Datong Mansion.

Bai Luting's face showed a look of surprise, his cuffs tightened slightly, and then said: "When the subordinates left Nanjing, they didn't catch up with the investigation order of the adults, so they ......."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Xuan.

"This is not what this official wants to listen to, but the instructions given to you."

Jiang Xuan said more and more irritablely.

In addition to him, there are only two adjutants of Jinyi Wei who can mobilize a thousand households.

However, both of them had a very close personal relationship with him, and they had been in the brocade guard longer than him, so he didn't dare or wanted to offend anyone arbitrarily.

Egret Pavilion looked embarrassed, and then out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the adjutant in the command room standing in front of him to the left.

Seeing this, the adjutant knew that the matter was broken, so he immediately pulled out and slashed straight towards the Egret Pavilion, apparently intending to kill people and kill them.

"Presumptuous, you dare to do it in front of your own officials."

Jiang Xuan was furious, his right arm shook, and he actually shook the adjutant several meters away.

Then he turned around, a relieved expression on his face, but the momentum spread out and enveloped the room.

"Tell me, who commanded you?" Jiang Zhen asked lightly.

Jinyiwei is a privileged organization that only belongs to the current emperor, and he really can't figure out who has the ability to reach into the interior of Jinyiwei, and even collude with an adjutant of Jinyiwei.

The adjutant wiped the bloodstains, his face turned pale, and he laughed miserably: "My lord, each is his own master, why should he be so aggressive? It's just that his subordinates didn't expect that Jinyiwei was so downtrodden, and he couldn't even solve a little prince. ”

With that, the adjutant frowned, and suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Several brocade guards next to him immediately ran over, and one of them probed the adjutant's snort with his hand, then turned around and bowed his head to Jiang Zhen and said, "My lord, that fang is dead." ”

Jinyiwei has training to prevent being captured and tortured alive by the enemy, in which poison in the mouth is a common method, as the adjutant of Jinyiwei, he naturally knows the torture methods inside Jinyiwei, so he understands himself.

Jiang Zhen sighed and said: "Carry it down and bury it, after all, there is a colleague, but I haven't investigated the person behind the scenes, I don't know if the emperor will blame it." ”

At this time, Bailuting took a step forward and said: "My lord, the person who can have such a means must have a very good background, and this person also wants to murder the acting king, I am afraid that he is a stakeholder, and he is suspicious ......."

Before the Egret Pavilion could finish speaking, it was interrupted by Jiang Xuan.

"Okay, that's the end of this matter, Jin Yiwei does things for the emperor, you can't wronged a good person without conclusive evidence, Bai Qianhu, you can't get out of this matter, punish you for a year, go down."

Jiang Xuan said lightly.

"Yes."

The five thousand households including the White Egret Pavilion walked out of the room in turn, and they breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and left in different directions.

Only Bai Luting stayed at the door for the longest time, but he didn't want to eavesdrop on the conversation between Jiang Zhen and the adjutant, but was thinking about something.

After a while, he finally made his decision, and flew away.

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Royal Palace Garden.

The vassal kings and princes had been waiting here for a long time, and these people were clearly divided into two groups.

Among them, the princes and vassal kings who surrounded Zhu Di, the king of Yan, were the most, and the other group only had three people, led by Zhu Di, the king of Jin.

It's just that Zhu Di looked at Zhu Di and the others with three points of smugness and coldness in his eyes.

In his left sleeve, the pistol was tied with a silk rope.

And in his opinion, this private banquet is obviously the most suitable time.

If he can grasp this opportunity, he will be able to eradicate all the princes who threaten him to become the crown prince, and repeat the changes in Xuanwumen in history.

That's right, Zhu Gui and Liu Jing thought of the changes in Xuanwumen, and Zhu Di also thought of it.

Originally, he really didn't have any idea about the position of the crown prince, but this pistol gave him this idea, and coupled with the 'lessons from the past' in history, he decided to take a big gamble.

Finally, after a stick of incense, Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Yunwen and a group of eunuchs into the imperial garden.

The princes and princes saluted one after another.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face has returned to normal.

After sitting down, he first glanced at Zhu Di, the king of Jin, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and then his eyes fell on Zhu Yunwen, and finally said: "I summoned you here in private today, just for one thing." ”

"That is to prevent the battle between your brothers for the crown prince will affect my Daming."

Although the vassal kings and princes had expected this for a long time, they still had complicated expressions on their faces.

Only Yan King Zhu Di behaved as usual, while the corners of Jin King Zhu Di's mouth curled.

"Now you can speak freely, I will consider your thoughts, and I hope that after today, you will not have any more disputes."

Zhu Yuanzhang flicked his sleeves and motioned for Zhu Di to speak first.

Zhu Di walked up to Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Father, Erchen stayed in Datong Mansion for a few days, and what he heard and saw made Erchen feel that the acting king is a talent of knowledge, if he can become the prince, Erchen is willing to do his best to assist." ”

As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table and said with an angry face: "I am asking you to promote the prince, not joking." What is Zhu Gui's character, don't I know? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with an angry face.

The others looked terrified.

But Zhu Di said unhurriedly: "Erchen knows that his father has an opinion on the acting king, but he has changed, the battle between Ganzhou and the Mongols is also because of the addition of the acting king's army to turn defeat into victory, King Su, right?" ”
