At the same time, in Zhu Yuanzhang's study, the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was on the main seat, stared coldly at Jiang Xuan, who was standing below, and his eyes erupted with strong dissatisfaction.

The study was extremely quiet, and the needle drop could be heard, and the attendants who were waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but shiver in such an atmosphere.

I don't know how long it took for Zhu Yuanzhang to speak, "Jiang Xuan! Do you want to rebel?"

Jiang Zhen respectfully saluted Zhu Yuanzhang, and then said, "Weichen is wronged."

Although his actions were extremely respectful, the smile on the corner of his mouth was extremely frivolous, which made Zhu Yuanzhang even more unhappy.

"Wronged? Where have I wronged you? Do you think I don't know about Zhang Lu and the Thousand Faces who went to rob the Dharma Field? I sent Jia Yuntong and Sun Qiyue, two masters, to suppress those two boys!"

Zhu Yuanzhang almost roared, and the attendants next to him didn't know how long it had been since they had seen such a gaffe emperor, so they were so frightened that they knelt directly on the ground.

Zhu Yuanzhang is somewhat out of shape, and he has laid a huge country with a bowl at the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang's life has surpassed Shuangwen, and even Shuangwen doesn't dare to write like that.

With such a Zhu Yuanzhang, there is naturally nothing to say about ability and wisdom.

In addition, he has been the emperor for so many years, and he is extremely confident in his ability and planning, he is used to the feeling of being wise in everything he does, but this time the robbery of the law field is obviously no longer under Zhu Yuanzhang's control, how can he not be angry?

But Zhu Yuanzhang's anger obviously did not frighten Jiang Xuan, he said slowly: "Your Majesty's insight, Zhang Lu and the Thousand Faces are still young, it is inevitable that they will do something wrong, and Wechen is also worried that they will go the wrong way, isn't this already a lesson for those two boys with Luo Kedi, Wechen is bold, I hope Your Majesty will spare them this time when they are young."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was directly laughed angrily, he was no longer angry, and his tone was extremely peaceful, only listening to him: "Jiang Xuan, I am indeed old, but I am not blind, and my ears are not deaf, why do you bother to show me?"

Jiang Zhen lowered his head and said, "Weichen doesn't understand what His Majesty means."

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and said, "Jiang Xuan, I will give you another chance, and I will talk about it after you think about it."

Jiang Zhen raised his head and said again, "Weichen doesn't understand what His Majesty means."

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned forward and stood up with his hand on the bookcase: "Jiang Xuan, opportunity, I have already given it to you, but you don't want it yourself." I ask you, where did all those black-clothed men who robbed the Dharma Farm come from?"

Hearing this, Jiang Zhen knelt on the ground on one knee, and he said, "Weichen is derelict in his duties, and the Jinyi Guards have been tracking down the identities of those black-clothed people, but so far, they have still not been able to find out the identities of those black-clothed people."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, and after a long time, he spoke again: "It's no fun for you to hide it like this, my patience is limited, you are the commander of the Jinyi Guard, will you not recognize Zhang Zhong, the Iron Crown Daoist? Will you not recognize those who are Mingjiao? As for who is blocking Jia Yuntong and Sun Qiyue, do you still need me to say it?"

Jiang Xuan opened his mouth and said, "Sure enough, everything can't escape His Majesty's discernment, that's right, it is me and Luo Kedi who are blocking Grandpa Jia and Grandma Sun."

….

got the answer he wanted, Zhu Yuanzhang did not deal with Jiang Zhen in a hurry, but asked again: "Why? Luo Kedi is an old man of Mingjiao and refuses to contribute to the imperial court, which I recognize, but what about you Jiang Xuan? You are my most trusted courtier, and I put the Jinyi Guard in your hands in the hope that you can play a good role, but this is how you repay my trust?"

The corners of Jiang Xuan's mouth turned up again, he didn't answer Zhu Yuanzhang's question, but said softly: "I remember that I was still a teenager that year, it was very cold that winter, there was no money to repair the air leakage in the house, and the family couldn't afford to burn charcoal for heating, and even food could not be guaranteed for the winter, my family died, I thought I was going to die too, I met Your Majesty at that time, I met Lord Mao Xiangmao, and it was you who saved me."

When people are old, they will naturally sigh about the past, and Zhu Yuanzhang is no exception, he leaned his back on the back of the chair and sighed, "Do you remember this?"

Jiang Zhen smiled, "That was the first full meal Wei Chen had since he could remember, how could he forget it? Later, Weichen has been following His Majesty and Lord Mao, and then the Ming Dynasty established the country, His Majesty became the existence admired by all the people, and Lord Mao also became the first commander of Jinyiwei. At that time, Daming was really good, everyone could eat well, but in this world, there are people who don't want to live a peaceful life, and Hu Weiyong actually wants to usurp the world of Daming......

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, suddenly raised his voice a few degrees, and said, "Enough! Jiang Xuan, do you think that recounting the old days with me here will spare you?"

But Jiang Zhen didn't hear it, he continued: "Fortunately, Your Majesty knocked Hu Weiyong into the dust, but at that time, people's hearts were unstable, too many people were involved, and Jinyiwei, as a knife in His Majesty's hands, killed too many people. In order to appease everyone's grievances, His Majesty ordered Lord Mao to be put to death......

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was raised again, and he said, "Jiang Xuan! Are you weird?"

Jiang Zhen looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang, nodded, shook his head again, and said: "It was strange at first, but I met Lord Mao in prison, Lord Mao has a very good mentality, he told me that this is his own choice, killing more people will make the people of a country afraid, this fear is easy to be stimulated, easy to be used, so, Lord Mao's death, in order to appease everyone's hearts, in order to make the people no longer feel afraid." When I left the cell, Master Mao gave me his saber, and he said, "Let me protect this country well."

Zhu Yuanzhang took a few breaths of air, and said in a cold voice, "So what? Have you been laying out? I can't understand a lot of things you've done over the years, and now that I've said that, I'd like to ask you, what do you really want to do?"

Jiang Zhen raised his head high, "Everything Weichen has done is for the sake of Daming!"

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally didn't believe this, he stared at Jiang Zhen with burning eyes, but he didn't find any clues on Jiang Zheng's face.

Jiang Xuan continued: "Killing people can block evil, but it can't stop resentment and fear, Da Ming, everyone should be full of smiles, not everyone is full of fear and resentment, so Wei Chen has been looking for someone who can let Da Ming out of the darkness, and someone who can let Jinyiwei out of the darkness."

Although he was still angry, Zhu Yuanzhang's words made Zhu Yuanzhang interested, and he asked, "Found it?"

Jiang Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, I found it, Weichen gave Zhang Zhen the knife left by Master Mao."

Night rivers and lakes.
