As soon as he stepped into the main hall of the palace with the inner eunuch, Ye Feng saw the emperor Zhu Di at first sight.

The palace was originally a place for the emperor to change his court clothes before the last dynasty, but after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he preferred to meet the ministers here alone, and he felt less restrained.

Therefore, there was no office desk in the main hall of the Jinshen Palace, and Zhu Di leaned at the moment, half lying on a soft couch carved with golden dragon patterns.

Ye Feng walked in with his head down, and secretly glanced at the emperor with squinted eyes.

Perhaps because of his perennial presence in the Northern Frontier Army in his early years, Zhu Di's complexion was dark, but his facial features were very majestic, and he also had a beautiful long beard.

In fact, this emperor, Ye Feng had also seen it when he was a child, at that time he had not been sent to follow his master to practice swords, and Zhu Di was still His Royal Highness the King of Yan in Beiping City.

At that time, his father Ye Zhiqiu was a confidant of King Yan, and King Yan often came to his home, and the two talked secretly behind closed doors. Ye Feng didn't know what they were talking about, but every time he saw him, Zhu Di always smiled kindly, looking very kind and kind.

Now that Zhu Di is already a high emperor, Ye Feng has never had a chance to see him since he left home to practice the knife, and at this moment, he suddenly saw Zhu Di half-lying on the dragon couch, and he had a strange feeling for a while.

Look left and right, there is no idiot in the main hall, Ye Feng secretly feels strange, where did this dead fat man go?

In front of the dragon couch, there was a man in gold armor standing respectfully and respectfully, he was Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han.

Seeing that he had returned safely, thinking that King Han's trip to the capital must have been a success, Ye Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Seeing him walk in, Zhu Gaoxu raised his eyes to look at him, nodded lightly imperceptibly, and said hello, Ye Feng also smiled back.

Emperor Zhu Di saw Ye Feng walk in, looked at him and raised his hand slightly, signaling him to stand aside first.

Following the inner eunuch who had led Ye Feng in just now, he bowed his head and retreated backwards and exited the main hall, Ye Feng realized that there were only three of them in this main hall, and there was not even a waiting inner eunuch.

It seems that the conversation here must be extremely confidential, but the emperor did not shy away from himself in the slightest, and I really don't know if I should be happy.

Zhu Di then waved his chin at Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and motioned for him to continue.

Zhu Gaoxu lowered his head and said: "Roughly this is the process of counterinsurgency, now Li Feihu has been killed by an arrow shot by the British Gong Zhang Fu in the imperial river, and the five thousand patrol battalion sergeants in front of the noon gate immediately surrendered when the Beijing camp troops entered the capital, and now the capital has been taken over by the forbidden army, and all the Beijing camp troops have returned to the station to standby, and the chaos has been pacified." ”

Zhu Di calmly grimaced and did not speak, and suddenly asked, "Where is Li Feihu's corpse?"

Zhu Gaoxu replied: "Zhang Guocheng is arranging the salvage, and I believe that it will be rewarded soon." ”

Zhu Di's face still didn't improve, and then asked, "What about the guards of the Xuanwu Gate?"

Zhu Gaoxu still lowered his head: "Jin Wuwei's left commander has been taken down by Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qi, and is now waiting for the emperor's will at the noon gate." ”

Zhu Di's face softened a little, and he said, "What are you waiting for, kill it." ”

He spoke of killing people as if it were a normal thing like eating and sleeping, and there was no fluctuation in his tone.

Zhu Gaoxu lowered his head and responded: "Yes, Erchen will go to deliver the decree immediately." ”

"Wait," Zhu Di stopped him, his face did not change at all, but what he said startled Ye Feng, "All, I said all." ”

Zhu Gaoxu was obviously taken aback, and raised his head and asked, "All, Father is talking about all the ...... of the patrol battalion participating in the rebellion?"

Ye Feng couldn't help but be taken aback in his heart, all?

There are 5,000 people outside the Guangwu Gate where the patrol battalion surrendered, and the Xuanwu Gate doesn't know how many troops have surrendered, not to mention a few thousand, which is nearly 10,000 lives!

But Zhu Di nodded lightly and said, "It's just that you can't be in the capital, and you can't cause panic." ”

Zhu Gaoxu immediately lowered his head and said, "Understood! Erchen will transfer them out of the capital first, and then execute them in secret." ”

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand.

Zhu Gaoxu said with relief: "Then the son-in-law will do it immediately, and the son-in-law will retire." ”

He bowed backwards and retreated to the outside of the hall, and when he passed in front of Ye Feng, Ye Feng clearly caught a glimpse of his forehead covered with dense beads of sweat!

Watching King Han withdraw from the main hall, Zhu Di set his eyes on Ye Feng.

He seemed to see through Ye Feng's thoughts, and asked, "What, do you think what I did just now was too cruel?"

Ye Feng was suddenly taken aback in his heart, and immediately fell to his knees with a puff, bowed his head and said, "Weichen doesn't dare!"

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, there is no one at the moment, there is no need for so many courtesies." ”

There was a sense of kindness and kindness in his tone, which made Ye Feng suddenly think of the Yan King Zhu Di who was always smiling when he saw him at home when he was a child.

But it is the emperor who is in front of him at this moment!

He stood up and bowed his head.

Zhu Di asked, "If it were you, what would you do with these people?"

Ye Feng hesitated for a moment, and muttered in a low voice: "Or, transfer them to the border pass and let them make meritorious contributions?"

Zhu Di sneered and shook his head: "Guilty of meritorious service? They have committed the capital crime of rebellion on their backs, and they really went to the battlefield, who dares to guarantee that they will not rebel again in order to protect themselves, and turn against the enemy? Such people dare to be sent to the border gate?"

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, Zhu Di's words did make sense, once disloyal, once not for a lifetime, how could such an army that had rebelled dare to entrust them with such a heavy responsibility as border defense?

But after all, it was thousands of living lives!

For a moment he didn't know how to answer, his mouth was open but he couldn't speak.

Zhu Di didn't seem to want to embarrass him, so he changed the topic and said: "Just now, King Han has already made it clear how you saved him, how you discussed countermeasures, and how you notified Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qi, to enter the palace to rescue him. You have been able to successfully quell the rebellion this time, and you really have a lot of credit. ”

Ye Feng bowed down and replied: "It's all up to His Royal Highness the King of Han to handle it properly, and Weichen has only done his best and doesn't dare to take credit." ”

Zhu Di seemed to be very satisfied with his attitude, nodded, and said, "I heard that you have solved the strange cases that have occurred in Beijing in recent days, and I am very interested in the details of this. You might as well listen to it. ”

Ye Feng responded: "Yes!"

So, he started from his own entry into Beijing, and told Zhu Di how to find out that the deceased was not Sun Dianchen through an autopsy, how to find out that the cook was missing in Zuixianlou, and how to find out that the deaths of Zhao Si and Qian Jia were all related to this, so as to determine that Sun Dianchen faked his death and someone framed King Han, and later the death of Tie Wuru and Mrs. Ru Yun, how he escaped from death, etc., all of which were told to Zhu Di one by one.

There was only one point, he concealed this little matter between Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Mrs. Ru Yun, and only said that he disobeyed the ban order and left the mansion without permission, saying that someone led him out of the mansion.

He didn't mean to shield King Han, but he felt that King Han was a victim in this conspiracy after all, and he lost his lover, so he didn't want to sprinkle another handful of salt on his wounds.

After all, in the abandoned house on the outskirts of Beijing, he and King Han can be regarded as having experienced a life and death together, not to mention that he also secretly admired King Han's courage to break into Beijing alone.

Zhu Di listened attentively to this twists and turns, and his eyebrows danced, especially when he heard the magical "ghost head copper flute" in the Miaoyin Gate, he couldn't help but exclaim: "The world is so big, it's really wonderful! I can't imagine that there are such wonderful things and such strange martial arts in the world!"

After Ye Feng finished speaking, Zhu Di's half-lying body had already sat up, silent, as if he was still reminiscing about the bizarre and strange experiences that Ye Feng had told just now, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

It took him a long time before he asked, "You just said that Sun Dianchen, Tie Wuru and Li Feihu are not the masterminds, and there is another person behind them who designed this whole conspiracy?"

Ye Feng lowered his head and said, "Exactly." ”

Zhu Di nodded: "Yes, these three people are all martial artists, how can they come up with such a complicated and cumbersome plan, but with sophisticated calculations? There must be other people behind them!"

He raised his head and looked at Ye Feng: "Is this person related to the secret letter you mentioned?

Ye Feng took out the secret letter from his arms and presented it respectfully with both hands.

Zhu Di stretched out his hand to take it, opened the letter and looked at it, his face changed: "I know this handwriting, this is the character of the scholar Xie Jin! Could it be that person?"

Ye Feng smiled and said: "Originally, according to this handwriting, Wei Chen also suspected that it was Master Xie, but Wei Chen's brother-in-law Zhang Zhi has studied calligraphy, but he saw a flaw. ”

Zhu Di was stunned: "Zhang idiot? is that little fat man from the British Gong Zhang Fu's family?" Of course he knew this person, but he had always heard that he was well-read and liked to read, but he didn't know that this person was also proficient in calligraphy.

He asked, "What flaws do you see?"

Ye Feng replied: "He saw that the handwriting in this letter was very incoherent, which greatly violated the artistic conception of cursive calligraphy. ”

Zhu Di carefully looked at the letter in his hand, and sure enough, asked, "Why is this?"

Ye Feng smiled and said: "Wei Chen was originally puzzled, but after careful observation, he saw the mystery in this. ”

He bowed to Zhu Di and said, "Beggar for a clear water." ”

Zhu Di looked around, picked up the teacup on the side, and asked, "Is it okay to have tea?"

Ye Feng bowed down and thanked him, stepped forward, dipped the tea with his fingers, sprinkled it evenly on the letterhead, and then held the letter with both hands, and said to the light of the lights in the hall: "Your Majesty, please look!"

Zhu Di looked at it intently, the moist letter paper was shining with the light of the lamp, and he actually saw that on this letter, there were two or three words, or four or five words, and there were tiny fine lines between the ranks!

Zhu Di couldn't help but be taken aback: "What the hell is going on?"
