Zhu Zhanji walked along the dark and remote alley, and under the mottled stone wall, stood a mysterious man wearing a black iron mask, unable to distinguish between male and female, as cold as a shadow on the ground.

"At this time, I said that you would not contact me again." Zhu Zhanji frowned slightly, "My third uncle was deceived by you to assassinate the emperor, and the lessons of the past are vivid, I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past." ”

There was a seeping laughter from under the black iron mask, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I'm here to get down to business this time, it's very important to your East Palace, are you sure you don't want to hear it?" ”

"What do you mean?" Zhu Zhanji had an ominous premonition.

"The emperor said that he wants to abolish the crown prince and establish the king of Qi!" The masked man speaks clearly.

Zhu Zhanji immediately became furious: "Let your mother's fart, where did you hear the rumors, do you think that I will easily fall into the trap you set, you are delusional!" ”

"Rumors? In Jiming Temple, what the emperor said to the black-clothed monk himself, do you think this is also a rumor? The Masked Man sneered, "Believe it or not, I'm just telling you." ”

"I beheaded you thief!"

Zhu Zhanji was furious, drew a knife and pointed it at the masked man's forehead, his arm was trembling at the moment, and he wanted to split this bastard from his head with a knife!

He's really murderous!

This thief who once tricked King Zhao to assassinate the emperor actually used evil words to bewitch him at this moment! What made His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson even more uneasy was that he had a faint feeling that what the other party said was true!

The emperor really had the idea of abolishing the crown prince and establishing King Qi!

This time, King Qi conquest of Nu'er Gandusi, and the tacit understanding between him and the emperor, as if the two had reached some shady deal a long time ago, while the princelings were kept in the dark from beginning to end, passive everywhere, and were played around by the old man and King Qi's mansion.

Why!

His father Zhu Gaochi is the eldest son! Only virtuous and virtuous, after so many years of hard work for the Ming Dynasty, why should you abolish the prince and establish the king of Qi!

If King Qi became the prince, then where was he, the imperial grandson, placed? It is clear that he, Zhu Zhanji, is the future heir of the empire!

How unjust!

"Come, kill me."

The masked man stepped forward, put the blade in front of his neck, and said calmly, "Kill me, and nothing will happen?" Kill me, and your father will be able to keep the crown prince? Kill me, and you'll be emperor! ”

His last sentence was almost roared, and his voice was loud, which made Zhu Zhanji calm down in an instant.

Killing this thief can relieve his anger for a while, but it is useless to himself.

Zhu Zhanji's brain was running rapidly, staring at the mysterious masked man in front of him, and asked, "Who are you!" ”

This masked man is definitely not a person. Behind him, there is an invisible huge intelligence network organization, and this intelligence network has even infiltrated Jiming Temple!

What kind of place is that in Jiming Temple!

If you want to install people in the Jiming Temple, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, and the King of Han has been manipulating the Jinyi Guard to install a hidden pile in the Jiming Temple, but he lost his wife and broke the army, and finally he could only give up in disgrace. What even King Han and Jin Yiwei didn't do, this group of people did it!

What a terrible energy it is!

They are definitely not ordinary anti-thieves, tricking a Ming vassal king to assassinate the emperor, this is what a normal anti-thief can think of? If you can think of it, forget it, they are really bewitched!

Zhu Zhanji has nothing to surprise about this, his third uncle, Zhao Wangye, does not do good things on weekdays, he looks shrewd, but in fact, he makes a mistake when he encounters a big event.

"Does it matter who I am?" The masked man smiled, "For you, for me, or for us, identity is the most useless thing, the important thing is value, what value I can bring to you, and what value you can bring to me." ”

Zhu Zhanji snorted coldly, didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

The masked man looked at the back of the grandson of the Ming Emperor and shook his head: "I'm still young, my fire is so strong, it's far worse than his old man, and it needs to be sharpened." ”

"Being young is not an excuse to make mistakes." A faint voice came from behind the masked man, "Thirteen, you will be in charge of Zhu Zhanji's line in the future, and he will come to you." ”

……

"Fang Shangshu."

Fang Bin, the secretary of the military department, who was working hard to write, heard a familiar voice, and looked up to see a young man with a spring breeze smile and handsome facial features.

It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson.

"Is there something wrong with the grandson looking for the old minister?" Fang Bin hurriedly got up and saluted, but he was a little suspicious in his heart.

It's true that he is a princeling, but this imperial grandson came directly to the military department, which is inevitably too unsophisticated, this attracts people's attention, and it will not sound good if it reaches the Lord of Long Live Lord.

"It's my presumptuousness to bother suddenly." Zhu Zhanji also knew what Fang Bin was estimating in his heart, and said slightly apologetically.

Fang Bin waved his hand: "Taisun is too polite, you came to find the old minister, is there something wrong?" ”

"Can Lord Shangshu take a step to speak?" Zhu Zhanji asked.

Fang Bin nodded: "Good." ”

Of course, I have to take a step to speak, how can the military department Shangshu and the imperial grandson hook up together to discuss things, how can it be shown on the surface, unless Fang Bin doesn't want to be the official of this second grade.

The two moved to the corridor in the backyard of the yamen, Fang Bin looked around, and after confirming that there was no one, he looked at Zhu Zhanji: "Taisun, if there is anything, just say it directly, the old minister still has official business, and he can't delay it for too long." ”

"What Fang Shangshu said is a business matter, but it is a matter of allocating and supervising the transportation of 30,000 grain and grass for the Northern Expeditionary Army?" Zhu Zhanji asked.

Fang Bin didn't have any surprise at the emperor's grandson, and said: "Who in Jinling City now doesn't know that this errand of transferring and supervising the transportation of grain and grass is spread on the head of my military department, but fortunately, there is no ink in the household department, and he is afraid that he will make a mistake, so he will pull out the grain and grass cleanly, which also saves me a lot of trouble." ”

Zhu Zhanji said with concern: "Fang Shangshu, don't be tired, you are too old, if you delay the transportation of grain and grass, it is not worth it to exhaust your body." ”

"My old life is worth a few dollars, and the grain and grass are very important, how can I ......delay it" Fang Bin's face suddenly turned solemn, "Taisun, what you said is not right." ”

With Fang Bin in the officialdom for so many years, he went through hardships from a lang to sit in the position of the secretary of the military department, and repeatedly obeyed the emperor's northern tour and northern expedition, relying on his personality vigilance and being able to get his intentions.

How could he not hear that Zhu Zhanji's words were tingling, and when he heard it, he was an old yin and yang man!

"Fang Shangshu is an understanding person, so I'll just say it." Zhu Zhanji's eyes were deep, "Please Fang Shangshu, send this grain and grass to the King of Qi in Shuntian Mansion, and drag it on the road for ten days and a half months." ”

"No way!" Fang Bin was shocked, "Taisun, you want my head!" ”

What are you kidding, delaying for ten days and a half months, and when King Qi arrives at Shuntian Mansion and finds that the food has not been delivered, I am afraid that I will have the heart to kill all his troops!

What's even more terrifying is that when the 30,000 Northern Expeditionary Army ran out of food because of lack of food, it caused a mutiny, which was almost 100 percent! Not to mention that the Northern Expeditionary Army is the elite from the Beijing camp, the elite will starve to death, and they will mutini if they don't have enough to eat!

This is not as simple as letting Fang Bin lose his official hat, this is to let him die!

The emperor will definitely kill him to appease the anger of the people, and when the time comes, there will be no relatives to come to the banquet, all of them will be in the list of the three tribes, and they will have a reunion dinner in the underworld!

"Fang Shangshu don't panic." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile, "This grain and grass is on the waterway. It's not once or twice that the Grand Canal is in trouble, and it's normal to sink a few ships. If the trip is delayed because of the change in the weather, the emperor has no reason to blame you, and the East Palace has introduced a few scapegoats, and the matter will pass. ”

"Taisun, I advise you to give up this idea." Fang Bin did not hesitate to reject the proposal of the imperial grandson.

Let go of your mother's fart, the matter reveals that you Zhu Zhanji and the emperor are a family, and you can't die of a crime. But my Fang Bin and you are not a family, the matter will definitely be destroyed by the three clans, let Lao Tzu take the three clans to play with you, why do you think it is so beautiful?

"Lord Fang, you don't have to do things." Zhu Zhanji said calmly, "You only need to turn a blind eye, and I will find someone to get things done and clear the relationship between you and this matter." ”

"Taisun, this matter will not be mentioned again in the future!" Fang Bin did not waver in the slightest.

He is now a second-grade scholar, and he has come to the end of his career, and he chose to join the princelings, just to find a backer for himself to seek stability.

But now that this backer wants to pull him to the fire pit, Fang Bin would rather tear his face with the East Palace than participate in it. and the East Palace tore his face, then he took refuge in King Qi, it was really not a big deal to be a lonely minister, but if he fell into this fire pit, it would really be a catastrophe.

Zhu Zhanji said unhurriedly: "Fang Shangshu, don't you want to become the first person to serve as two Shangshu since the founding of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Fang Bin's heart was almost about to go into arrest: "What did Taisun say just now?" ”

"My father is not in good health, the emperor is also old, I am on the throne, that is, it is not a few years, as long as Fang Shangshu is willing to help me with this......" Zhu Zhanji is also open-minded, and he dares to say anything rebellious, "When I ascend the throne, Fang Shangshu is the first person to serve as the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
