"This Zhang Chong is self-righteous and grasps the thoughts of the imperial court, which is quite accurate... Just send a bullshit envoy... Hey... It's a pity that Lone is not the former Cao Qichang..."

The prince, who was muttering in contemplation, turned his head and landed on Ji Yi with his eagle-like gaze.

Yuan Zhi said coldly:

"Ji Yi, as the general of the four-rank Yingyang, the commander of the Secret Guard Catcher Division, but you sent a message to a local gate valve to the East Palace, your behavior is really extremely disappointing to Lonely."

Ji Yi was frightened when he heard this.

His face was bloodless, and he hurriedly argued:

"Your Highness, please calm your anger, the last general is really wronged, I thought that His Royal Highness might be able to use the Dunhuang Zhang family, and he was also the official edict of the imperial court to confirm the marquis lordship, so he brought people up, and the last general has no two hearts, ask His Highness to learn clearly!"

"Of course Lone Mingjian, I don't think you have the guts, otherwise, can you still speak here?"

Yuan Zhi then roared:

"Go and tell the envoy of the Zhang family that he is too busy with state affairs to see him, a family that has made contributions during the founding of the country, and Taizu has also made a marquis in time to affirm it."

"I didn't expect them to use this as their capital, run rampant in Dunhuang, bully men and women, ignore the imperial court decrees, and fish the people, not only to assassinate Lord Shi in the state capital sent by Lonely, but also dare to enter Beijing to let the prince meet him, which is really unreasonable!"

"Even today's biggest gatekeeper, the Li clan in Longxi, would not dare to be so rampant, treat himself as a country or a prince, and negotiate terms with the imperial court? I really don't know how thick the sky is. ”

"Let this envoy go back to Dunhuang to dig the roots, and if you want to see the prince of this dynasty, you can! Let Zhang Chong come over by himself, follow the procedure outside the Suzaku Gate, hand a letter of worship to the Privy Council to explain the reason, and wait respectfully. ”

"The request of a second-class officer, whether Lone agrees to meet or not depends on the opinion of the Privy Council, and it is not something he can see if he wants to, it is simply putting the cart before the horse."

Hearing the prince's reprimand, Ji Yi's face was pale, his face was frightened, he didn't even dare to let go of a fart during the whole process, his head hit the ground, and he said in a loud voice:

"The last general understands, and the last general is stupid, please calm your highness's anger."

"Get out!"

With the roar of the crown prince, Ji Yi was like a lost dog, crawling on the ground and hurriedly fleeing.

Qiu Feng, who was consulting and excerpting in the Zizhi Tongjian, heard the prince's roar for the first time, and his nervous heart was twitching.

The prince roared like thunder, like a tiger descending from the mountain, which was indeed terrifying.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, which is probably what it means, turning his face ruthlessly.

Leaving the East Palace, Ji Yi was agitated by the cold wind outside, and then he realized that his body was very vain and trembling.

The whole person was as light as if he had just come back from the ghost gate, and he tried his best to be strong in his internal strength, and in front of the prince's aura, he was not useful at all.

The body soaked in cold sweat let the cold wind blow, and suddenly shivered.

Since he began to practice martial arts at the age of seven, and went to Tianmen Mountain at the age of twelve to learn the arts, even if he practiced shirtless in winter, he did not tremble.

But today I was scared.

It's just that Ji Yi didn't understand why the prince was so angry today?

I also have good intentions.

Ji Yi, who hadn't figured it out for a long time, strongly realized that this problem was not something he could solve.

But now that he has been involved, if he doesn't find out, he doesn't know how he might die.

So, he gritted his teeth and rode back to the headquarters of the Secret Guard next to the Imperial Prison.

After a while, Ji Hong put down the matter in his hand and met Ji Yi in the yamen side hall.

"What's going on? Let you go to the East Palace to tell the prince, the details of your trip to Dunhuang, you went? The crown prince is not in the East Palace, or..."

Ji Yi only returned to Beijing last night, and early this morning he went to his uncle and boss, Ji Hong, to prepare a report.

Ji Hong happened to have something to deal with on his hands, so he asked Ji Yi to go to the East Palace first, and after playing with the prince, it was not too late to come back and tell him.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yi returned to the yamen soon, still looking depressed.

"But what does Your Highness have to tell you to pass it on?"

Ji Hong sat on the couch at the top and wondered.

Seeing Ji Yi's face gloomy, he walked up to Ji Hong and bowed, and hummed in his mouth: "Please uncle save me." ”

Privately, they met each other with clan courtesy.

Ji Hong was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly helped Ji Yi up, and said in a deep voice:

"Don't panic, nephew, if there is anything difficult, come slowly, Uncle Wei will help you solve it."

Ji Yi looked depressed, and said with a sad face:

"Uncle, some time ago in Dunhuang, the younger generation encountered an incident, so he took matters into his own hands to deal with it, but now he is in trouble, and I ask my uncle for forgiveness."

Ji Hong was stunned for a moment, but still waved his hand with a smile, "It's okay, as long as it doesn't hurt the interests of the country, it's not a big deal, just say it." ”

Hearing Ji Hong's comfort, Ji Yi, who was originally impetuous, told everything that happened today in the main hall of the West Study of the East Palace, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

Ji Hong narrowed his eyes slightly and listened in detail.

After Ji Yi finished speaking, he almost had a number in his heart.

Although the current crown prince is young, his prestige in the Yuan royal family certainly does not have the supremacy of Emperor Jiye, nor does he have the city government and sleek political skills of Emperor Jiye.

But the prince is wise and intelligent, knows people well, kills decisively, can judge the situation, is good at layout, has the general trend in his chest, and also knows how to advance and retreat.

These skills, which are necessary to survive in today's era, have been mastered by the crown prince.

Ji Hong has been by the side of Emperor Jiye for a long time, and now he is the right-hand man of the prince of the prison state, and he knows what is the most taboo as a superior.

Ji Yi's mistakes, Ji Hong is simply clear and clear.

After thinking for a while, Ji Hong glanced at his nephew with an anxious expression, smiled slightly, and said, "You are indeed confused about this matter." ”

For the younger generations of his own clan, of course, Ji Hong could not sell Guanzi, he further explained:

"Dunhuang Zhang Chong asked you to bring people to Beijing and spread the word, this matter is not unusual, because he was afraid, not long after Cao Kesheng arrived, Cao Qichang then fell, and then Guo Wei's army pressed the border."

"Guo Wei was nominally to deal with the Western Turks, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a complete plan to kill two birds with one stone, and Zhang Chong began to fear that the imperial court would be angry and purge the entire Guazhou."

"At present, the imperial court is suffering from internal and external troubles, and the country is empty, but to deal with just one Guazhou, that is, the entire Hexi Corridor, and even the Western Regions, it is absolutely not a problem, and it is a big deal for the imperial court to tighten its belt for another year or two."

"The Guazhou gate lords led by the Zhang family were scared, but they didn't expect the Cao Mansion to fall, they lost the support of the imperial court, and they were ready to have a relationship with the crown prince."
