Jinling, Jinyi Wei Zhao Prison.

Pei Xi, who was still dressed in a moon-white uniform, walked out of the prison gate and arched his hand to Qi Tai, who looked down and couldn't see his expression clearly: "My lord, it's all over." ”

"Hmm...," Qi Tai still didn't move, "what happened?" ”

"It's still those, it's not much different from the news from Beiping," Pei Xi shook his head, "King Yan pretended to be crazy, and he seemed to have the opposite intentions." ”

Qi Tai squeezed out a cold snort in his nose: "What is the difference between sending someone casually and the Jinyi guard?" ”

The Taoist uniform on Pei Xi's body seemed to be still for a moment, he straightened up, and seemed to smile: "Jinyiwei's torture is actually not good at making people confess what they know or have done, but they are better at making people admit that they have not done it." ”

It seems to be remembering the torture process that I watched from the sidelines when I came to Zhao Prison last time... Qi Tai's face was ugly, and he didn't say anything more.

Pei Xi's meaning is very clear, they can even recognize what they haven't done, probably really only know this.

"The three batches of envoys, the things that came out of the trial are not much different from Ge Cheng's secret letter, it seems that King Yan really has a different heart," Qi Tai said coldly, "Is the Jinyi Guard in Beiping a little derelict in his duties?" ”

"Cutting the five kings in a row, there are only so many Jinyi guards in the declining mountains, and there are really no more people sent to Beiping," Pei Xi shook his head, "Speaking of which... What about what the adults promised when they assassinated the third son of King Yan? ”

"Are you bargaining with the official?"

"No, the lower official just wants to get what he should take."

"The third son of King Yan is not dead! And it's so big, you still have the face to ask for it? ”

Pei Xi didn't speak again, and after thirty years, his handsome face became expressionless.

Even His Majesty didn't dare to rashly restart the Jinyi Guard, let alone Qi Tai, who was only one of the three powerful ministers? What they promised at the beginning, Pei Xi never planned to get.

Why is it that in their mouths, Jinyiwei is like a dog, throwing a bone when he can use it, no matter how much the dog has done and how many worries he has shared, once he finds that there is no need to exist, he will lock the dog in the house and not even let his head appear...

Why?

Bringing Jinyiwei back to the top has become an obsession of Pei Xi, it has been very hard for so many years, but now it seems that everything should be worth it.

The imperial court is becoming more and more wary of King Yan... Three batches of envoys from the Yan Wangfu who came to Jinling to perform affairs were all sent to Zhao Prison indiscriminately, and the evidence against the Yan Wangfu was tried with the appalling punishment of Jinyiwei, and the court acted so unscrupulously, even if Pei Xi could not melt into the circle of those three people and His Majesty, he could guess what the court planned to do next.

Will King Yan be the one who sits and waits? It doesn't look like so.

Qi Tai's footsteps were far away, and the screams in Zhao Prison behind him had stopped, thinking that this messenger couldn't hold on like the previous ones, but I don't know if the old spies in the Jinyi Guard Torture Division were excited about the peeled human skin again...

Pei Xi looked to the north, and his eyes were full of the young man who was very much like himself.

Gu Huai... Don't let this officer down.

……

When Qi Tai arrived at the imperial study, the dispute between Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng had entered a white-hot stage.

Although they are both auxiliary ministers, the two have different political views, and it is normal to have arguments, seeing Qi Tai coming, Huang Zicheng's face was faintly happy, just a look, he understood each other's meaning.

In the matter of cutting the domain, Fang Xiaoru's consistent proposition is to moisten things silently, Your Majesty is young, spend a few years to dismiss the king's guards, and then borrow some things to cut the lord and properly settle it, isn't this a thing? When the time comes, Zhou Li will implement the world, and the internal worries will be solved, which can be described as the same in the world, why be so anxious and make such an ugly scene?

On the contrary, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai's handwriting is much more intense, Your Majesty is indeed young, but do you really have to wait a few years and watch the kings become bigger? The throne is passed down from generation to generation, and it is easy to have branches, and what does he rely on for his two superiors? It's the east wind that cuts the feudal domain! If you really want to do it slowly and steadily, it will take a few years, what will be the reputation of the two of them in the imperial court?

Completely different styles of doing things and completely opposite political concepts make Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng look down on each other, but when it comes to the relationship with His Majesty, even if they are both emperors, Fang Xiaoru is much closer than Huang Zicheng, fortunately, both of them are now Qing noble officials, and the only one of the three who is in a high position in the military department Shangshu Qi Tai is a staunch Huang Zicheng party, which makes the argument in the imperial study not one-sided.

Zhu Yunwen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, frowned, watching his two cronies arguing, and also felt that both of them had their own reasons, and it was difficult to make a decision on who to support for a while.

On weekdays, the imperial study is quite kind... The young emperor and the three cronies of the ministers enjoyed themselves, studied the Zhou Rite Correction Chapter, talked freely about the beautiful future between gestures, and imagined the situation of the world after the success of the feudal reduction, but with the struggle of the Yan King in Beiping, this harmony was gradually broken by irritability.

Seeing that Qi Tai joined Huang Zicheng's camp, exhausted Zhu Di's dissent, and told the consequences of the delay in cutting the domain, the balance in Zhu Yunwen's heart finally tilted towards ending King Yan within this year... Qi Tai is the secretary of the military department, and he still has to consider his opinion when he mobilizes troops to forcibly suppress the feudal domain, since he can't say that the imperial court in March can achieve a complete suppression of Beiping and bring Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to justice, Zhu Yunwen can still accept this result.

As for the worst consequences of cutting the feudal domain... It's not that a few people in the imperial study haven't thought about it, but no one will think that Zhu Di can make big waves, at most, it will damage the face of the court and add some trouble to the north, after all, the court is the court, where can a vassal king shake it?

The atmosphere is here, as the lord of the world, it is not good to be silent anymore, Zhu Yunwen nodded to appease the three of them, brewed his emotions, and was about to get up and criticize Zhu Di sternly, reiterating the importance of cutting the domain, and then using the evidence brought by Qi Tai to make a conclusion that he would not do it in the future... A little eunuch knelt outside the imperial study.

This kneeling interrupted Zhu Yunwen's accumulation, he was stunned, and shouted angrily: "What's the matter?!" ”

Probably influenced by the emperor's grandfather's strict order that eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in politics, Zhu Yunwen, as the orthodox heir, enshrined this sentence as a golden rule, for these lowly eunuchs, Zhu Yunwen has never regarded them as people, and now the eunuchs on duty in the palace's imperial study and dormitory are all extremely tired and have a very low status, and they are often beaten and scolded.

It's like a young eunuch who was killed with a rod just for saying too much...

The eunuch kneeling outside the door trembled, knowing that he had provoked the displeasure of the Son of Heaven, and the fate of those eunuchs before was still vivid, he hurriedly threw himself to the ground, and his voice became more and more sharp: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei asks to see you!" ”

This sentence successfully diverted Zhu Yunwen's attention, after all, he was still discussing with his cronies how to clean up his brother-in-law... For Xu Huizu, Zhu Yunwen was a little wary at first, after all, the Zhongshan Mansion is extremely prominent, Princess Yan and Princess Zhou... But it's all his sister.

But after the incident of King Zhou, Zhu Yunwen completely let down his guard against him, and was convinced that he was the kind of loyal minister who could share his worries.

Because of the fact that King Zhou's family was demoted to concubines, there was the shadow of Xu Huizu.

After looking at the three ministers, Zhu Yunwen leaned back in his chair: "Xuan! ”

His gaze swept over the eunuch who had been pardoned, and the deep disgust in his heart surged up again: "Go to another person." ”

"Drag him down to me, fifty rods!"
