"How's it going?" Xu Jingchang said in a tired voice.

Zhu Gaosui grinned, "It's good, it's not good." ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's okay to be Xie Jin, but the other civil officials are very bad!" Zhu Gaosui thought he was humorous.

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids and snorted coldly: "Can you be sure that Xie Jin was an accident?" ”

"Can't!" Zhu Gaosui said: "According to the report, he had abdominal pain after eating breakfast, he drank a liter of garlic juice by himself, and then vomited and diarrhea. Cheng Guogong also tortured all Xie Jin's subordinates, and found nothing suspicious. At present, Xie Jin is still intact and has begun to revise the book. ”

Xu Jingchang listened to it for a long time, and said angrily: "Isn't this just nonsense? Is there anyone trying to assassinate him? ”

Zhu Gaosui grinned bitterly, "What are you yelling at me?" What he did was so hated, the people who wanted to kill him were probably fewer than you, and for a while, they would definitely not be able to find out! ”

Xu Jingchang only felt that his head was buzzing, he really couldn't understand, he had always been harmless to humans and animals, kept to himself, was honest, and devoted himself to public service...... There is no fault at all, how did the assassins target him?

"Let's break it down a little bit...... Who might do it? Xu Jingchang asked.

Zhu Gaosui thought for a while, "This is naturally a civil official, but I am a little puzzled, like Jian Shangshu and Xia Shangshu, they will definitely not be mixed, and it is difficult for others to say." What if it is which one cares more about Confucius...... By the way, the minions of Beikong, they got the news and took action. ”

Xu Jingchang snorted: "Beikong is in Shandong, and Yan Shenggong is only three years old this year, even if he eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, he can't attack Xie Jin so quickly, right?" ”

"That's the second possibility, maybe Xie Jin did it himself."

"Did it yourself?" Xu Jingchang wondered.

"Yes, he knew that it would not end well with you, so he drugged himself first and made a disturbance, so that his father could send someone to protect him." Zhu Gaosui said: "That's right, it must be like this, Xie Jin is not a good thing!" ”

Xu Jingchang thought about it seriously, "Can you be sure?" ”

Zhu Gaosui thought about it again, "It's hard to say...... Now the military generals of Wenchen are like this...... Do you think it was my father who did it? ”

After Zhu Gaosui finished speaking, he was also taken aback.

Would Zhu Di do this kind of thing?

It doesn't seem to be easy to say, the Golden Palace has the upper hand, but the next thing is to promote various affairs, and the civil officials need to do things, and it makes sense to take Xie Jin to continue to beat them.

No problem!

"But my father is the Holy Lord of Yingrui, and I don't like this kind of thing very much, it shouldn't be him." Zhu Gaosui went back to make up for it.

Xu Jingchang smiled bitterly: "Then you say, who else?" ”

"And? There are many of them, such as the remnants of the former Yuan Dynasty, the Jianwen Yu Party, and perhaps the enemies who were offended by Xie Jin in the past, and now they are just confusing the public. ”

Zhu Gaosui said a lot in a row, it is indeed possible, but he can't say for sure.

"Actually, you've forgotten someone." Xu Jingchang said quietly.

"Who?" Zhu Gaosui asked in surprise.

"It's you! His Royal Highness King Zhao, Zhu Gaosui! ”

Hearing Xu Jingchang's words, Zhu Gaosui jumped up suddenly, "Don't talk nonsense!" Your grandfather is my grandfather, and we are relatives, and I have always been waving the flag to you. I heard that someone was going to assassinate you, and I didn't shy away from the danger and came to give you a tip-off. To be a man is to speak of conscience, Xu Jingchang, if you don't make things clear, I'm not done with you! ”

Xu Jingchang didn't care about his threat, and said: "Of course you have a reason, don't forget that you are in charge of the Di Bao now, and what you lack the most is news, and it is the kind of movement that is particularly loud...... The mysterious Nishan Hongru Society, assassinated important ministers of the imperial court, extralegal fanatics, and affected the overall situation of the imperial court. Loyalty, Righteousness, Nation, Assassin...... This is something that can be put on the stage. ”

Zhu Gaosui was stunned, it seemed to make sense!

His own mansion is really saved.

"Brother Xian, how can I doubt now that there is really a Nishan Hongru Society!"

It has to be said that conspiracy theories are indeed the best answer to explain all the puzzles...... It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, at least you can convince yourself.

Xie Jin's poisoning incident, it can be said that as long as he is panting, he is suspicious.

Xu Jingchang thought for a while, and sighed: "Let's not talk about him, and I won't say who did it, do you know the usual assassination methods?" ”

Zhu Gaosui came to his senses, "I'm familiar with this, and I have inquired with Ji Gang about it...... He said that the usual method, there is medicine, which is Xie Jin. And the crossbow...... For example, in the section of the road you passed, people ambushed in advance, and when you rode a tall horse over, they would shoot you, in order to ensure that one blow would kill, and it would quench poison, and the kind that sealed your throat with blood, and an arrow could kill you. ”

Xu Jingchang gave him a roll of his eyes, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Yes, it's assassination...... When you go to bed at night, someone sneaks in, comes to your bedside, and then takes a sharp knife and stabs you in the body, stabbing you into a hornet's nest and bleeding to death. ”

Xu Jingchang shuddered, and couldn't help but say, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Something else? That's more...... For example, if you like fishing, people design it so that you fall overboard, like being dragged into a river by a big fish. Also, if you like to listen to music, people will buy the girls who sing and teach them all kinds of skills, first charm you with your skills, and then burst out and kill people. ”

Zhu Gaosui said: "I knew that there was a county order, that is, I liked to watch dramas, and I invited a drama troupe, among which there was a big martial artist, who was good at playing and kung fu, and the county order was happy to see it, so I wanted to talk to him...... Who knew that after singing a play, he suddenly flew over, he played Zhao Zilong, holding a bright silver gun, stabbing into the neck, blood like an arrow, and then he burst out, staring at two eyes, dead and blind! ”

The more Xu Jingchang listened, the more frightened he became, and the hairs on his body stood up.

"Don't say it, we have to find a way."

"We?" Zhu Gaosui said in a sullen voice: "Brother Xian, I'm not on the list, don't be afraid, right?" ”

"Fart! If they dare to assassinate me, they will dare to assassinate you, and even Your Majesty may not be safe...... I am now sincerely afraid, uneasy, the huge Ming Dynasty, there is almost no foot of pure land, an inch of rest. I have to wrap myself in a small quilt when I sleep now. ”

Xu Jingchang, the prince of Dingguo, who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, is really cowardly today.

He stopped fishing and didn't eat good food.

Xu Fu added double guards and bought more than a dozen dogs and put them in the backyard.

If there is anything to eat and drink, give it to the dog first, and then he will eat it.

"Father, my cousin is all left as a dog, it's so pitiful!" Zhu Gaosui went to cry to Zhu Di again.

It's just that there is always a little bit of schadenfreude in his words.

At this time, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and the Han king Zhu Gaochu were all black-faced and angry.

"Father, if they dare to assassinate their cousin today, what will they do tomorrow, I can't imagine it, they must be thoroughly investigated to the end, and they will all be arrested." Zhu Gaochi suggested.

Zhu Di stiffened his face and snorted: "How can I not know! It's just a dog's audacity, my courtiers, how can they move? ”

While they were talking, Empress Xu pulled Zhu Zhanji over.

Far away, Zhu Zhanji cried wow.

"Grandpa Huang, don't let your cousin die, save your cousin!"

The little guy cried so sadly, although his cousin was not very reliable, but he gave himself a lot of fun and helped himself earn gold beans, in case he died, what could he do?

Seeing his son crying like this, Zhu Gaochi was excited, if your father died, you could be so sad.

Zhu Di hurriedly stretched out his hand and hugged his good grandson in his arms.

"Don't cry, don't cry. Don't worry, there is a grandfather here! It's going to be fine. ”

Zhu Di had just coaxed his eldest grandson, and Queen Xu's eyes were also red.

"Your Majesty, the fourth brother is dead, and he is like this...... If there is a mistake, I'm afraid I'm sorry for the fourth brother! ”

Queen Xu's crying made Zhu Gaochi and them sad.

At present, the Xu family can get his hands on Xu Jingchang.

It's just that he is young, he has not yet married, and he has no offspring.

If this is assassinated, the Xu family will really collapse.

"Now the news is chaotic, and I have let people investigate thoroughly, although thieves are rampant, but in the end they can only be sneaky, so there is nothing to worry about." Zhu Di tried his best to comfort Empress Xu.

But Empress Xu frowned, "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, there are a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent a thief." These gentry and Confucian scholars are too rampant for His Majesty to indulge them. ”

Even Empress Xu decided that it was the literati who made it.

In the past, I always felt that the literati were powerless, not like the martial arts, so the emperor inevitably favored the Wenchen.

But now it seems that these Wenchen not only have sinister intentions, but also have bold intentions, and their attacks are even more insidious and vicious, which is simply hateful!

Zhu Di frowned, "I really can't spare them...... It's just that people are panicking right now, I heard that Xu Jingchang is scared enough, how to make a move? ”

Empress Xu was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Your Majesty, why did you forget, my nephew is the most clever, this time it is aimed at him, eighty percent of this kid already has an idea, or you go and ask." ”

Zhu Di was quite tempted, and was about to go to see Xu Jingchang, but Zhu Gaochi said: "Father, if someone wants to assassinate the virtuous brother, there may be someone in ambush outside his mansion." It may not be appropriate for my father to go suddenly. Why don't I ask him, and if he has any good ideas, I'll come back and tell my father. ”

Zhu Di thought for a while, nodded and said, "You also have to be more careful." ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded, "The child knows." ”

Zhu Dazhuang came to Xu's house.

"I said Brother Xian, this time it's about your life, what is the bezoar dog treasure, take it out quickly, how can you save your life?"

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyes, "Why do I think you're quite happy?" ”

Zhu Gaochi said: "It's not that I'm happy, it's really that since the news came out, now in the court, the six yamen, the inspectorate, the Kedao, and the Hanlin Academy, are all honest, and they are all doing things one by one, and no one shirks their responsibilities anymore." ”’

Xu Jingchang also couldn't cry or laugh, "It's just a bunch of cheap bones...... Okay, tell Your Majesty that we are going to build a yamen to prevent assassination. It is best to be able to lead the Jinyi Guard, Your Majesty is completely assured, and there will be no collusion with Hongru. Then, by the way, the establishment of Jinyi Wei was also expanded, and a few more thousand households were added, both inside and outside the palace, all of which had to be protected. Hundreds of officials in the imperial court, there must be someone to keep an eye on! ”

Xu Jingchang smiled lightly: "Let's do this for their good, can we avoid suspicion?" ”

Zhu Dapang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood something...... If you want to say that you have a deep mind and grasp the timing, you kid is definitely this one!

"Okay, I'll go and say it now, this time there is another sharp sword on the head of the hundred officials!"
