Zhu Di spoke again at this time: "Although I won't kill you, you can't stay in Beijing." ”

Xie Jin nodded, he knew in his heart that after this incident, the Han Wang party would definitely take the opportunity to carry out a crazy counterattack against the prince's family.

Even if he has that secret letter to clear his involvement, he will inevitably bear the brunt of the attack of the Han King and his party.

At that time, even if Zhu Di has the heart to defend himself, I am afraid that there will be many constraints, it is better to transfer himself out of the capital now, away from the court, this is a place of right and wrong, which is called derogatory, but it is actually protection.

Zhu Di saw that he understood his intentions, so he continued: "In a few days, there will be a royal history to participate in your unfair reading of the papers during the previous abbot examination, and I will take the opportunity to demote you to the Guangxi Political Department as a senator." ”

Xie Jin was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "This Guangxi political secretary is the hardcore of the Han King, I'm afraid it ......."

Zhu Di glanced at him coldly: "What, now that I know that I am afraid, why were you so bold at the beginning? If I am not like this, how can I make the King of Han and them believe that you have really been belittled?"

Xie Jin stood with his head bowed and did not dare to speak.

Zhu Di snorted and continued: "Of course, I still have arrangements. Before you leave, I will ask Li Zhigang to participate in the performance of the Ministry of Rites again, and you will complain and be dissatisfied with the court. Li Zhigang has always had a grudge against you, and he will definitely do the same. ”

"So I will once again belittle you to go to Jiaozhi, and be responsible for going to the state governor's salary. The sky is high and the earth is far away, and the power of the Han King is beyond their reach, so you can squat there for a few years, and think carefully about your sins if you have nothing to do. ”

Xie Jin knelt on the ground, shouted three times, and was grateful, and he was really grateful.

He didn't expect that the emperor not only easily saw through his little tricks, but also knew everything he had done. But instead of killing him, the emperor tried his best to protect him, and he was really grateful.

Although, he knew very well that the real purpose of the emperor doing this was for his son, for the plan that had been planned in the emperor's heart for many years.

Zhu Di waved his hand at him: "You go back, everything will be arranged." But you go back and release your son first, it's not okay to be under house arrest like this. ”

Xie Jin replied respectfully: "Yes!" and withdrew from the main hall with his head down.

As soon as the cool breeze outside the hall blew, he felt cold sweat all over his body.

He took a long, deep breath, still terrified in his heart. How did the emperor know that he was putting Xie Zhenliang under house arrest?

In fact, it is not difficult to explain that it is not uncommon for emperors of previous dynasties to install eyeliner undercover agents in the mansions of important ministers. Now it seems that his house may have already had the eyes of the emperor, and his every move has long been under the control of the emperor.

That's right, who said that he not only knew, but also participated in the emperor's plan that had been planned for many years? The biggest secret in the emperor's heart.

How could he be at ease with himself? It was already normal to send someone to spy on something, after all, at a critical moment, he would still protect Xie Jin, or rather, protect the deepest secret in his heart.

What surprised Xie Jin the most was that the emperor just said that he had sent Jian Yi to deal with King Zhao.

Jian Yi was summoned to the palace with him in his own palace, and the emperor saw him first, and then he left. And he has been waiting for the emperor's summons in the room on the side of the main hall, and he doesn't know what Jian Yi is going to do.

At that time, the rebels had not yet attacked Xuanwu Gate, and Qiu Fu and Ye Feng, the princes of Qiguo, had not yet come to ask for help. As for the conversation between Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Ye Feng and the emperor, it was even later.

If it was said that the emperor at that time ordered Jian Yi to deal with King Zhao, at that time, how did the emperor know that the real manipulator behind the scenes was Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao?

Thinking of this, Xie Jin couldn't help but gasp, could it be that the emperor actually knew the truth of everything at that time? Then his later conversation with Ye Feng and his own conversation were all just performances?

Xie Jin felt a chill in his heart, it seemed that in the fog shrouded in the capital these days, the emperor was the most sober person with bright eyes and a bright heart.

And all of them, even including Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao who thinks he is smart, is the one who really spins back and forth in the fog without knowing it!

Xie Jin looked up at the dawn in the sky and sighed, this long and difficult night has finally passed.

When Xie Jin was looking at the dawn of the sky, on a hill on the outskirts of Beijing, there was also a person looking at the capital from afar.

This hill is several miles away from the capital, the mountain is not high, there is a small pavilion on the top of the mountain, from here you can overlook the scene of the capital from afar, this person is standing in the pavilion, carrying his hands, looking at the capital.

He wore a scarlet robe with a golden coiled dragon embroidered on the front and back and on both shoulders, which was the prince's garment.

This person is none other than Zhu Gaosui, the third prince who was named King of Zhao and had left Beijing for Beiping to take up the domain!

According to the time, he has been away from Beijing for some time, and he should have arrived in the Beiping fiefdom, how could he still be here?

At this moment, Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, looked at the fires in the capital from a distance, and the mountain wind hunted, blowing his vermilion robe to puff up, and he felt full of ambition in his heart.

It seems that for the people in the capital, this night must be a sleepless night.

Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, also had no sleep all night, but because he was excited, he was waiting, waiting for the news brought by the person who reported the news in Beijing. Once successful, he will immediately lead the guards under the mountain into the capital.

He had already discussed with some courtiers and generals before, if there was a change in the court, they would support him and support him to fight for what he deserved, everything!

Look at the dawn of the day, why haven't the people in the capital come to report yet? Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, became a little anxious in his heart.

Just then, he heard the sound of someone climbing up the stairs on the mountain road behind him.

Sure enough, it came!

He Huo Ran turned around to look, but he was stunned.

It was not the person he left in the capital to report the news, but a short-bearded scribe in his forties with a kind face, of course this person Zhu Gaosui knew, he was a trusted official of his father, and he was righteous!

Jian Yi walked slowly along the stone steps to the top of the mountain, and slowly walked towards Zhu Gaosui.

Before coming to the pavilion, he stopped, and did not salute Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao inside, but nodded with a smile and said, "Your Highness is good?"

His appearance made Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, wonder in his heart, how could this old fox come here? After hesitating for a moment, he still asked, "How did Lord Jian know that this king is here?"

Jian Yi smiled: "Of course I won't know, but His Highness's 1,000 guards at the foot of the mountain are too conspicuous, so the old minister came up to try his luck, but I didn't expect His Highness to be here." ”

Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, was unconsciously shocked, he had a thousand personal guards at the foot of the mountain, all of them were strong and loyal. This old guy was able to walk straight up with such a swagger, and it seemed that he definitely didn't come alone.

After pondering for a moment, he asked, "I don't know why Lord Jian came to find this king?"

Jian Yi said lightly: "There is nothing special about it, but now that the forbidden army has blocked the capital, I am afraid that the person who His Highness left in the capital to report the news will not have time to go out of the city to inform His Highness, and I am afraid that His Highness will be anxious to wait, so I have come to inform him." ”

The forbidden army blocked the capital?

Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui's heart chuckled, so they still failed. It seems that even the strategy set up by the scholar Xie Jinjie, who is known as the smartest in the world, failed to fight his father in the end.

I just don't know if their failures are related to me.

Jian Yi looked at his expression, smiled slightly, and said: "The old minister is here, and he also asks His Royal Highness King Zhao two questions on behalf of the emperor." ”

Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui's heart suddenly cooled, it seems that his father's question still knows.

It's all over.

What I was worried about just now was really good, Jian Yi, the old fox, must have come to Xingshi for his father to ask for his guilt this time, and the thousand guards under his mountain should have been controlled by the people brought by Jian Yi, but I don't know how many people he brought, how to deal with himself?

Thinking of his father Zhu Di's stern and cold angry face, Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui's heart suddenly felt trembling, and his original ambition and courage all disappeared in an instant, leaving only fear and despair as cold as deep into the bone marrow.

Jian Yi looked at his depressed face, coughed, and asked, "The emperor's first question, why are you still staying here and not going to Beiping quickly?"

Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui's face was like ashes, didn't he ask knowingly? But he couldn't answer that he was waiting for the opportunity here to enter Beijing to compete for the throne, right?

He hesitantly replied: "Erchen, Erchen learned that there was a change in Beijing, and he was afraid that his father and father would be in danger, so he took his guards here and watched here, thinking about whether to go back to Beijing to protect King Qin." ”

Jian Yi frowned, this excuse is full of loopholes, it is simply nonsense.

Since you have been away from Beijing for a few days, how do you know that there has been a change in Beijing? In the past 10 days, you should have been in Beiping a long time ago, so how could you suddenly appear here? A mere 1,000 guards is tantamount to a drop in the bucket in the face of a rebel army that even tens of thousands of forbidden troops cannot deal with? Since you are said to be the king of guards, why do you stop here and wait and see and stagnate?

A few casual sentences of righteousness can dismiss him to the point that he is incomplete, full of holes.

But Jian Yi didn't ask, he didn't want to expose the lies of Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, because King Zhao's answer on this question was not important to him, oh no, it was for the emperor.

The important thing is the second question.

Jian Yi's eyes looked directly into the eyes of Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, and said word by word: "Here is the emperor's second question, you must and can only tell the truth, understand?"

Zhu Gaosui nodded, although he didn't know what the second problem was, but a bad premonition made a trace of panic flash in his eyes.

Jian Yi took a deep breath and slowly asked the most important question: "The emperor asks you, who instructed you to do this?"
