"The prince is supervising errands in Xi'an, has anyone assassinated him, or deliberately stumbled." Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was very calm, as if he was saying something very ordinary.

Jiang Xian knew that his next answer could determine the life and death of many people.

"Nope." Jiang Xian replied very firmly, and did not use words such as "said", probably and so on, which is what Zhu Yuanzhang values him most.

There are many talents in the Ming Dynasty, but there are not many people who dare to take responsibility like Jiang Xian.

He said no, that's about no.

Zhu Yuanzhang still trusts Jiang Xian.

"Apart from Ying Tianfu, who else knows the bad news of the prince."

"Duke of Liang, King of Qin, King of Jin...... King Yan. Jiang Xian knew what the emperor wanted to know, and took the initiative to say: "King Qin is not the first to know. ”

"It's Sappy." Zhu Yuanzhang understood.

Lan Yu is loyal to the prince, and he is the first person in the prince's army, and he is close to the East Palace, and the officials of the East Palace will naturally not hide from him if the prince is not good.

"It's not the Duke of Liangguo, it's the King of Yan." Jiang Xian lowered his head after speaking.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to confirm, "Zhu... Di? ”

"Back to the emperor, yes." Jiang Xian's voice is very calm, and this calmness means that there is evidence, so he is confident.

No one can deceive the emperor, including Jinyiwei.

Not only do the families of the lords have spies from the Jinyi Guard, but there are also Jinyi Guards, Jiang Xian doesn't know who is spying on him, but there must be someone.

"Huh." Zhu Yuanzhang let out an inexplicable laugh, no one knew what he would think after learning the truth at this moment.

"Zhu Di returned victoriously from the desert, and we are still glad that he does not work hard to mobilize the people, tiring the people, and knows how to respect and humility, it turns out that this is because of this."

Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then reopened his eyes and continued to ask, "What has happened in Yanwangfu recently?" ”

"King Qin Changshi went to Beiping privately and wanted King Yan to intercede for King Qin, but King Yan avoided it and didn't see him."

"King Yan had a very close conversation with a monk, but he didn't know his past."

"King Yan promoted a group of his cronies all over Beiping Mansion."

……

"Peiping Province is promoting industrial development, making new utensils called steam engines, as well as new coal stoves and honeycomb coal, which are very profitable."

"In the name of a merchant in the village of Northeast Tai, a workshop was built, named Zhonghua Heavy Industry, specializing in the manufacture of steam engines, and a large number of craftsmen were recruited."

……

"We thought he was low-key, but he did so many things unconsciously." If it was in normal times, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think there was anything.

Compared with the second and third children, the fourth child was satisfied with Zhu Yuanzhang, but when the prince was seriously ill, Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry.

Zhu Di doesn't care about brotherhood at all, how kind the prince treats their younger brothers.

"Industrial development is not promoted by King Yan, but by the eldest son of King Yan, when King Yan is still on the northern expedition, there is the eldest prince of King Yan to promote himself."

Jiang Xian is explaining to King Yan, but he is not explaining to King Yan, but telling the truth.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Jiang Xian suspiciously.

It seems to be a coincidence, as if Zhu Di didn't know, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe it. There are coincidences in the world, but when coincidences occur, they must not be coincidences.

"The steam engine, the coal stove, the honeycomb coal, and the workshop are all things that the eldest prince of Yan Wang did alone."

Jiang Xian knew that if he said this, it would cause the emperor to distrust him, but he would never hide it from the emperor because of his own gains and losses, so he could become a commander.

"You said that these things have nothing to do with King Yan, is that really the case?" Zhu Yuanzhang was angry and stubborn about Jiang Xian.

Jiang Xian hesitated for a moment, but then changed his words: "The eldest prince of King Yan has the power of King Yan's mansion, and it really can't be said that it is irrelevant. ”

All right.

This is not what Zhu Yuanzhang wants to hear.

"It seems that Zhu Di has a good son who can do so many things." Zhu Yuanzhang sneered. Since Jiang Xian spoke for Zhu Di like this, he had to go back and check on him.

"The eldest son of King Yan is quite familiar with miscellaneous studies, and everyone in Beiping Mansion knows it." Jiang Xian didn't know that the emperor wanted to investigate him, and even if he knew, he didn't care, because he had nothing to be checked.

"Zhu Gaochi."

Zhu Yuanzhang tried hard to recall the appearance and character of this grandson, and there were some fragments in the depths of his memory, but they were not deep, and he only remembered the name he took him.

How many sons and grandchildren he has, he can't even say the exact number himself, maybe he didn't take it to heart, and he doesn't even have the impression of many sons, let alone grandchildren.

"What was Zhu Di's reaction when he learned that the prince was seriously ill?" Giving up thinking about Zhu Gaochi's character, Zhu Yuanzhang finally asked what he wanted to know.

"King Yan was uneasy and wanted to pretend not to know, but because he was worried that King Qin was going to seek a famous doctor in Xi'an, he had no choice but to follow King Qin to find a famous doctor in Beiping Mansion."

Jiang Xian could even know King Yan's inner thoughts, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Jiang Xian deeply, this person is indeed capable, but some are too capable.

Over the years, Jiang Xian has prepared many things and cultivated many of his people, who are all over the country and go deep into each family.

Not only officials, but even vassal kings, who can play Zhu Di between applause, his son doesn't know yet.

"Keep an eye out there and don't miss a thing." Zhu Yuanzhang sent Jiang Xian away and sat lonely behind the desk.

When no one is around, Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts are scattered.

suddenly thought of his wife, and then thought of how excited he was for the birth of his eldest son when he was still King Wu.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang finally showed his old state.

The old face was full of sadness.

When I was young, the family members I valued left me one by one. became an emperor, and his beloved wife left him again.

Now, even the eldest son who cares the most has to leave him.

"Is this our fate?"

Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes in pain, and a tear passed through the corner of his eye, which dried up quickly, and he couldn't see the tears.

……

Peiping.

King Yan finally began to seek a famous doctor, and then the news of the prince spread, and the officials of Beiping City learned that the prince was sick.

Zhu Gaochi returned to the palace and was called by Zhu Di.

"It's been unusual lately, we won't stop you from what you're doing outside, but you have to remember not to make trouble."

The eldest son does things first, the eldest brother is sick later, and Zhu Di is unwilling to interrupt his son's work. He has a clear conscience about this matter, and he can answer it confidently if anyone asks.

Has it finally come to this day, Zhu Gaochi knew in his heart.

Isn't everything he did in Beiping to increase Zhu Di's strength?

What is strength?

Money, armaments, tools, soldiers, officials, people...... Popularity.

When Zhu Di's strength is stronger than in history, at least the war can be resolved as soon as possible, and the people's livelihood will be affected at the least.
