Chapter 68: A beating from Zhu Di
Zhu Di's appointment came unexpectedly, and it stands to reason that such a big matter as sending a Qin cha to the domain of the vassal king should be discussed in the court.
But Zhu Di was appointed without hesitation.
Chen Kan was stunned for a moment, but Li Jinglong on the side was overjoyed.
As soon as his knees were weak, he knelt in front of Zhu Di and said excitedly: "Minister, Li Jinglong, lead the order!" ”
Zhu Di looked at Chen Kan again, and said with a smile: "That Guanzhong and Shuzhong ......"
Without waiting for Zhu Di to finish speaking, Chen Kan shook his head and refused: "Your Majesty, the minister can't go, and the minister plans to participate in the county test held in Shangyuan County in August." ”
Zhu Di frowned, and then soothed.
"It's my negligence, in that case, I'll let Xie Jin run."
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your understanding!"
Zhu Di came to Jinyiwei, it seems that he just wanted to eavesdrop on the conversation between Chen Kan and Li Jinglong, and by the way, he released a legal identity for Li Jinglong.
After a few words, the atmosphere in the cell fell silent.
Zhu Di glanced at Li Jinglong, and Li Jinglong retired with interest.
Since you have decided to cut the feudal domain, the sooner the better.
Thinking that he would not be able to see Li Jinglong for at least several months, Chen Kan was a little melancholy.
If you get into trouble again, there will be no one to take the blame.
As soon as Li Jinglong left, Chen Kan became the two strong men facing Zhu Di and Dao Yan alone.
Chen Kan said that Yali Mountain is big!
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing to do, the minister will retire first."
"Let's go, accompany me to see King Jin."
The two of them had their own words, but Chen Kan didn't dare to insist on his opinion, so he had to follow Zhu Di towards the cell where Zhu Jixi was held.
"What's so good about Zhu Jixi?"
Muttering, Chen Kan obediently ordered the Jinyi captain guarding the door to push open the heavy iron door.
After last night's interrogation, Zhu Jixi's state is obviously much worse than yesterday.
His eyes were sunken deeply, and his face was pale without seeing sunlight.
Hearing the rumbling sound of pushing the door, Zhu Jixi woke up from his deep sleep.
Seeing that the people who came were Chen Kan, Zhu Di and Dao Yan, they didn't go crazy like yesterday, but after glancing at the two of them coldly, they lowered their heads.
Chen Kan was very dogged and brought two stools to Zhu Di and Daoyan.
Zhu Di sat down, looked at Zhu Jixi, and said slowly: "Eldest nephew, I have decided to comprehensively reduce the feudal domain, and I believe that in the near future, there will be no more disasters of feudal kings in the world." ”
Zhu Jixi didn't seem to hear what Zhu Di was saying, so he sat there and didn't talk.
Zhu Di didn't mind, and said to himself: "Don't worry, I won't kill you, after all, you are the heir of the third brother, for the sake of him sweeping the grassland with me back then, I will also spare your life." ”
When Zhu Di said this, a look finally appeared on Zhu Jixi's face.
But it was only for a moment, and he regained his lifeless appearance.
"Well, in a few days, I will send someone to send you back to Fengyang's hometown, within the high walls, there is no popularity, if you go, it can be more lively."
After saying this, Zhu Di stood up and prepared to leave.
"Fourth uncle, I miss my father!"
Zhu Jixi's hoarse voice sounded, dry and without a trace of emotion, as if he was just stating a fact.
When Zhu Di heard this, he was stunned on the spot.
But Chen Kan was keenly aware that the corners of Zhu Di's eyes were actually a little crystalline.
Under what circumstances, will the great tyrant also have feelings?
"Then I will let someone send you back to Taiyuan to guard the cemetery for the third brother."
"Thank you, Fourth Uncle."
Chen Kan looked at this rare scene in the royal family in a daze, and his heart was extremely entangled.
Zhu Di didn't kill Zhu Jixi, didn't you kill you if you rebelled?
If you don't kill, what if he retaliates against me in the future?
Originally, Chen Kan thought that Zhu Jixi was dead, but now it seems that he has to find a way to solve the troubles by himself.
came out of the edict, Chen Kan accompanied him all the way to Zhu Di's honor guard.
Zhu Di looked at the absent-minded Chen Kan and ordered: "Chen Kan, in a few days, Dali Temple will convict the King of Jin, and you will escort him back to Taiyuan. ”
"Oh!"
"Huh?"
Chen Kan came back to his senses, a little incredulous.
"Your Majesty, you know the grievances between the minister and His Royal Highness the King of Jin, where does the minister dare to go to Taiyuan, besides, the minister has to take the exam."
"Even the prince you dare to frame, even I dare to coax you, what else in this world you Chen Kan dare not do? As for the exam, cutting the feudal domain will delay your time, I believe, and it will take you a month and a half to send someone? ”
Zhu Di's face changed suddenly, and the sweat on Chen Kan's forehead flowed to the tip of his nose.
Hurriedly knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty: "The minister is guilty, please forgive your majesty?" ”
"Forgiveness, why don't you ask for sin?"
Listening to Zhu Di's cold words, Chen Kan was very panicked, please be guilty, what if you really punish me?
Do you want to enter the palace three times?
Pill!
"Your Majesty, the minister has a last resort."
Kneeling on the ground, Chen Kan's clothes were already wet with sweat, what happened to the people of the old Zhu family, all of them changed their faces so quickly?
"Do you think I'll kill them all?"
"Could it be that in your heart, I am a tyrant who can only use a butcher's knife against his courtiers?"
Chen Kan knelt on the ground and didn't dare to take a breath, and his thoughts turned back and forth in his mind, thinking about how to get out.
When Leng Buding heard Zhu Di say this, Chen Kan was suddenly frightened.
This kind of question cannot be answered correctly.
"Your Majesty, the minister has no such intentions."
Chen Kan secretly looked at Zhu Di's expressionless face, and wanted to find a trace of useful information from his face.
But he was disappointed, Zhu Di's expression was so flat that there was no trace of fluctuation.
Chen Kan tilted his head, and a shiny round head came into view.
The old monk silently spit out the word "Taiyuan" in his mouth.
Chen Kan's thoughts suddenly brightened.
Hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the minister promises that there is absolutely no intention of harming His Royal Highness the King of Jin." The minister promised that His Royal Highness the King of Jin would be sent to the old prince's mausoleum safely. If it is out of the half-point pool, the minister is willing to kill himself on the spot! ”
"Hmph, I hope you can do what you say!"
Zhu Di snorted coldly, and after getting on the chariot, he walked away.
Chen Kan knelt on the ground and watched Zhu Di's guard of honor go away.
After a while, I slowly got up, and the speed of my heart beat returned to normal.
Zhu Di is dissatisfied with him.
Chen Kan's heart became vigilant.
Why Zhu Di is dissatisfied with him, from Zhu Di's beating, he has already understood.
In the final analysis, it was the equal education of everyone in later generations that was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that Chen Kan did not have much reverence for imperial power.
And in this era, the authority of the royal family is inviolable, and the majesty of the Son of Heaven is unquestionable.
From refusing to be an official, to now, he has rejected Zhu Di's orders one after another.
With Zhu Di's temperament, if it weren't for the fact that he was still useful to him, if someone else dared to bargain with him like this, I was afraid that the grave grass would already be three meters high.
I can still be alive and kicking, I have to say, there is a certain element of luck.
Thinking about this, Chen Kan was afraid for no reason.
