The study was quiet.

Xu Jian didn't continue to say the previous sentence after speaking, and only left time for the saint and Gonggong Cao to think.

After a long time, the saint who had thought a lot said in a deep voice: "According to what you said, Zhu Zhan can't even look down on Li Jun, who can he fancy on?" ”

Father-in-law Cao's hand holding the teapot trembled slightly.

Just now, Fu Guogong didn't break it, and now the saint asks rhetorically, but the meaning inside, Cao Gonggong heard it anyway.

Who else can make Zhu Zhan, the person who pays attention to interests and power, more powerful than the one in Yongji Palace?

Isn't it just the former princes and grandsons who are not restricted?

King Jin and King Xian who go to court every day?

Prince Taira, who has about half a month in the previous dynasty in January?

The other princes and old princes who don't go to the court at all, and are so idle that they don't see people at the palace banquet?

Father-in-law Cao couldn't help but have a toothache.

Xu Jian glanced at Gonggong Cao, then at the saint, and finally withdrew his gaze, looking like he was careful about the choice of words.

As a courtier trusted by the Holy Lord, he has his advantages.

In the past two years, he has even done a lot of things by taking advantage of the darkness under the lamp.

But there are also things about him that he must be careful about.

The first is that without a clear clue, he can't talk rhetorically in front of the emperor and point the blade clearly at a certain royal prince.

It was so sharp, even if the sharp blade was outward, but the silver sword body reflected the eyes of the saint, and then if you wanted to make it black under the lamp, it would never be black again.

What's more, what Xu Jian suspected most was that one was the King of Jin, the elder brother of the Holy Lord.

"The minister doesn't know," he said very calmly, "the minister doesn't have an accurate suspicion target, but he just thinks that the one in Yongji Palace is not enough to make Zhu Chong die, and the whole family is with him without revealing a word." ”

The saint motioned to Gonggong Cao to add tea, took a sip, and said, "Yes, the case of the Zhu family was handled by you and Shan Shen together." You know more, and then talk to me about it. ”

Xu Jian said: "Zhu Zhan acted arbitrarily and acted alone, and he was an old friend with Wang Liuliu.

He handed over this line to Zhu Cheng, Zhu Cheng obeyed orders, and other children and grandchildren, even Zhu Chi, the son he had asked for, kept it in the dark.

At that time, the minister tried to provoke the relationship between Zhu Chi and Zhu Zhan and Zhu Cheng, and it could be seen that Zhu Chi was very angry about being excluded and being affected by his father and younger brother.

Chen heard that until the beheading, Zhu Chi was asking Zhu Zhan who he was working for, and wanted to be a 'ghost who he understood'.

With him being betrayed like that, from the prince of the country to the soul of the sword in half a month, if he really knew the inside story, he would not die honestly.

It is better to exchange the man's name with you, and spare his young son's life, even if it is with the exiled woman, than to behead him.

Even if you really don't know the name, as long as you have the slightest clue in your hand that can be used in exchange, he will shout to negotiate terms with you. ”

The saint laughed.

It's not pleasant, but it's listening.

He is not familiar with that Zhu Cheng, but he is familiar with Zhu Zhan, and he has also summoned Zhu Chi, the son of the world, a few times, and still has a grasp of the temperament of these two people.

Zhu Chi seems to be honest and listens to Zhu Zhan's words, but in fact, he has his audacity and self-inheritance.

Xu Jian was right.

Zhu Chi would use any clue to change his young son's life.

Zhu Cheng only knew about the king for six years, and then didn't know anything else, and the only person who really shut up was Zhu Zhan.

Li Jun, who has been imprisoned in Yongji Palace by the first emperor for more than ten years, now has the "dedication" of Zhu Zhan's whole family to smash into it, which is indeed not very similar.

But there are other possible candidates......

The saint's brow furrowed again.

"And there are people who don't die, right?" He asked, his voice low.

It's not like asking Xu Jian or Cao Gonggong, it's more like asking yourself.

"Holy Lord," Xu Jian said, "the minister wants to go to Yongji Palace." ”

The saint was slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked at him in surprise.

Xu Jianyuan had plans to see Li Jun, so naturally he would not let go of such a good opportunity.

"Everything pays attention to evidence, although the minister thinks that the black hand is not Li Jun, but Wang Gouzi's line all points to Yongji Palace," Xu Jian said seriously, "So the minister thinks that it is necessary to ask Li Jun in person." ”

"Third brother ......," the saint hesitated, "you haven't dealt with him, his mouth, I'm afraid it's not easy for you to dig out the news from his mouth." ”

"The minister knows that his experience is still shallow, and he has no experience in fighting him," Xu Jian got up and bowed his hand, "But he is in Yongji Palace, even if he has the heart to make waves, he probably doesn't have the strength to make waves."

Come to think of it, even if the minister loses the upper hand, and instead of finding clues from him, he is tricked by him, and he has no use.

On the contrary, if he really uses this as a game, he is convicted of instigating Wang Liuliu and others, and even if he participates in and plots the conspiracy of Dingguo Temple and Baoping Town, you can also deal with him justifiably. ”

After hearing this, there was a long silence.

After a while, he said: "What you said is that everything pays attention to evidence. It doesn't hurt if you try it. ”

Xu Jian crossed the bright road and was ordered to withdraw from the imperial study.

Father-in-law Cao sent him.

After walking a few more steps today, and when he walked to a place where there was no one on the left and right, Gonggong Cao said in a suppressed voice: "Since that person is so thorough, he didn't let us dig into him along the Wang Gouzi, and we made so many precautions in advance." And where Feng tasted? Grandpa Guo, the miscellaneous family thought, isn't it something that can be found out on Feng Wei's body......"

"Not necessarily," Xu Jian said his thoughts seriously, "Feng Wei is different from Wang Gouzi, who is obviously 'dangerous', he is a dark chess.

If it weren't for his eagerness for quick success and being seen by Guo Gonggong, he wouldn't have revealed his identity in the future.

Besides, his experience in the palace before he was transferred to His Highness was also clean, and he couldn't find a clear fault with it.

Those who can see through him and pick out his thorns are all thanks to Grandpa Cao. ”

Father-in-law Cao's old face turned red.

There should be some merit, but he doesn't love it, and he is not good at it, and he is a little embarrassed to be praised by Fuguo Gong like this.

"Miscellaneous family," Grandpa Cao sighed, "The miscellaneous family has been in the palace for a long time, and there are more people who know ......."

"So I think that person wants to put someone next to His Highness, maybe it's himself, maybe it's the people around him, and he can't see through Feng Wei's whitewashed experience at a glance that there is anything wrong," Xu Jian said again, "It happened that he hit his father-in-law's hand." ”

"Hearing what Grandpa Guo said, the miscellaneous family is much more relieved," Grandpa Cao had a smile on his face, "I was really given a headache by the number of people connected to the dog, and the cup bow snake shadowed." ”

After settling down, the two continued to exchange and sort out the clues in a suppressed voice.

After finishing speaking, Xu Jian breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down the dull atmosphere, and quipped: "Father-in-law is not afraid that the wall has ears?" ”

Gonggong Cao subconsciously turned his head to look left and right, but there was no one in his field of vision.

He reacted and said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo doesn't want to tease the miscellaneous family, with your ear power, if someone really eavesdropped nearby, you would have discovered it long ago." ”

Gonggong Cao sent Xu Jian away and returned to the imperial front.

The saint leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, and there were a few deep wrinkles in the middle of his brows, which showed his state of mind at the moment.

"I don't have a bottom in my heart," he said, "it's not that I don't believe that there are still people who don't die, but that I want to be worthy of the first emperor." ”

Gonggong Cao bowed his head and listened.

The saint no longer had the desire to talk, only a long sigh.

He has personally experienced and seen the ferocity and cruelty of the struggle for imperial power.

Many years ago, there must have been countless undercurrents under the water, and at that time he did not participate, and he threw off the prince, and his experience was not so profound.

From the night when he was dragged into the water in Dingguo Temple to the day he finally put on the dragon robe, it was only a year younger, and his brother died, was banned, and degraded.

There are more tragic ones in history, but the words are not so touched by the heart as they are after all.

That year, it was really anxious.

And the ban and demotion of the father also drew an end to the struggle for the throne.

Back then, death row prisoners and disaster victims were used as thieves to resist the credit, not only Li Mi and Li Jun?

Li Cang, the king of Ding, was aggressive, and it was not only the two of them who were biting and not letting go, but in the end, they were the only ones who were severely punished by the emperor.

For others, there are admonitions, groundings, and punishments, and the degree and time are different.

The meaning of the first emperor is very clear, after the punishment, the matter will pass, and he will not let him, the new monarch, go through the old accounts at every turn in the years to come.

The reason for this was slowly figured out by the saint in the next few years.

First, for the first emperor, he was always his own son, and under the serious illness, his love was even heavier.

Second, it is also for the sake of his successor.

He came after him with "benevolence", so he could not cut off his arm and lose the name of benevolence.

The persecution of his own brothers is too much, not to mention whether the imperial historians are satisfied or dissatisfied, these brothers are very likely to have another incident in order to protect themselves.

In the later years of the first emperor, due to the continuous natural disasters and the poverty of the people, there were indeed many situations in which the grass fell into the grass, and the first emperor hoped to recuperate more than the new monarch and his brothers fighting for their own authority and safety.

Not to mention creating a prosperous era, at least the people must be able to live with peace of mind.

It is precisely because of the understanding of the first emperor's idea of stability that for more than ten years, the saint and his brothers have reached a good balance.

At least, on the surface, it's good.

If you want to be idle, you can be idle, and if you want to listen to politics, you can listen to politics.

Now, it's here, and it's almost fun to go up and down.

On the other hand, Xu Jian entered Yongji Palace.

The waiter guarding the door had sharp eyes: "Why are you here?" Grandpa Guo, do you have a holy edict? If not, the small ones won't let you in. ”

"Can't get in without the Holy Decree?" Xu Jian asked knowingly.

"That's how the rules are set," the chamberlain smiled, "don't be embarrassed." ”

"As far as I know, the main hall has come down twice and entered, and he has no holy edict." Xu Jiandao.

"Those two times were not small errands," said the waiter hurriedly, "and afterwards the errand was punished by the father-in-law in charge......"

Xu Jian laughed.

He didn't believe this, didn't he "before" not come to Yongji Palace to find trouble and go crazy?

However, Xu Jian didn't catch a eunuch and couldn't get by, so he only took out the holy oracle from his sleeve: "There is a red mark on it, take a closer look." ”

The waiter took it and looked at it, and after confirming that it was correct, he led the way with Xu Jian.

After the transmission, Xu Jian was invited all the way into the inner hall by Li Jun's people.

Li Jun was wearing a robe, with a half-open neckline, and the belt around his waist was not loose or tight, and he did not look upright at all.

He didn't care about his demeanor at all, and only looked Xu Jian up and down: "Xu Mang's grandson? How old were you when I last saw you? Is it as tall as this table? ”

Xu Jian saluted and replied, "When you last saw you, I should have been taller than this table." ”

Li Jun laughed and asked again: "Tell me, what did my sixth brother let you do?" ”

Xu Jian glanced at the waiter standing aside.

Seeing this, Li Jun sighed: "I'm not afraid of them listening, are you afraid?" ”

"I'm afraid." Xu Jiandao.

is so simple and clear, but it is a word that shows weakness, which makes Li Jun wonder.

In particular, Xu Jian's words are weak, but his tone is not weak at all, it can be said that he does not give in half a step, and the contradiction makes Li Jun both muttered and angry.

Then he lifted his chin at the attendant.

The hall was filled with mermaids.

Li Jun took a sip of tea and said, "Everyone has retreated, wait until you want to eat tea, you can do it yourself." ”

Xu Jian stepped forward, took the teapot and gave it to Li Jun first, and then said: "Once I was bitten by a snake, I was afraid of the well rope for ten years."

The king beside Li Mi has been eating inside and out for more than ten years, and he didn't know that Wang Liuliu was not his own person until Li Mi died.

Who knows if there are such characters around you in Yongji Palace? ”

Li Jun raised his head, crossed the dense water vapor, and looked at Xu Jian deeply.

"The Holy One asked me to come to Yongji Palace because I wanted to talk to you about Baoping Town and Dingguo Temple." Xu Jian got straight to the point.

Li Jun's slender eyes narrowed, and he was happy: "He hasn't given up yet?" This sixth brother is also really persistent, the sixth brother and sister have been dead for so many years, and he will never forget it.

Speaking of which, have you ever seen my six siblings before? The appearance is good, but there are no other beauties in Jingzhong.

Your biological mother and mother-in-law were not married back then.

But the sixth brother has a soft spot for the sixth brother and sister. ”

Xu Jianxinming.

Li Jun is accustomed to pulling things around, and he takes the initiative in his hands.

Xu Jian has no shortage of topics to "attract" the other party today, and he will not let Li Jun lead him by the nose.

"Yes, you have seen a lot of people in and outside the palace back then," Xu Jian answered, and then the conversation changed, "I don't know if you have ever seen a monkey-faced eunuch?" ”

Li Jun raised his eyebrows: "Monkey-faced eunuch? Such a clear statement, but what important thing is that person involved in? ”

"This is the person who set the fire in Dingguo Temple." Xu Jian said in a deep voice.

A sharp light flashed in Li Jun's eyes, and he stared at Xu Jian for a moment.

Is this true, or is Xu Jian coming to trick him?

If it's true, where did this clue come from after more than ten years?

Li Jun was unsure for a while, so he simply asked directly.

"Mother-in-law and Naiko have dreams." Xu Jiandao.

Li Jun sneered: "You might as well say that Li Shao's waste remembers, I may still believe it." ”

"You don't believe it?" Xu Jian nodded thoughtfully, "That's it, not long ago, Qianfu was struck by lightning, and the first queen couldn't see the chaos of His Highness, so as to remind him to be a good person and do things, and also ordered His Highness to be well-informed, which reminded him of the events of that night."

That night His Highness got up at night......"
