Seeing Qiu Fu disappear at the end of the street, Xia Yuanji turned around and walked to the other end of the long street. Turn the corner and his carriage stops here.

After Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established the dynasty, he felt the experience of the previous dynasty's corruption and collapse of the country, and ordered officials to not use sedan chairs when traveling to the court, and could only ride horses. In the year of Yongle, there is a little relaxation, and the prince and the officials of the first product can take a sedan chair. However, Xia Yuanji agrees with the ancient sages that the sedan chair is used instead of animal power by manpower, which is really inhumane, and he has always advocated frugality, so the entry and exit have always been horse-drawn carriages, and sedan chairs are not used.

The little guy who was driving the carriage saw Xia Yuanji approaching, and quickly lifted the curtain of the carriage, and as soon as he got into the carriage, he saw two people who had also been waiting for him for a long time looking at him with a smile. A man in his forties, with a kind face, a scribe dressed as the official of the current court, and the tall figure next to him was the newly sealed British Gong Zhang Fu.

As soon as Xia Yuanji sat down, Jian Yi asked him with a smile, "How is it?"

Xia Yuanji glared at him angrily: "You're right again." But strange, how do you know he's going to come here today to help me and not you?"

Zhang Fu sighed: "Qiu Fu thinks very highly of himself, in the Battle of Jingjing, he and his father listened to the order in front of the holy tent together, and sat on an equal footing, I am just a nephew in his eyes, and now I have never dealt with him in the army, how can he come to me for help." ”

Jian Yi stroked his palms and smiled: "As for me, I have just been named the crown prince Zhan Shi, and I am responsible for the errand and communication between the saint and the prince, so close to the minister, how can he ask me for help? ”

Xia Yuanji snorted: "You old fox, how do you know that he must come here to find me today?"

Jian Yi spread his hands: "Who in the court doesn't know that you are a busy man? A few days ago, I have been running around in western Zhejiang and busy controlling the water, and I have just arrived in Beijing to face the saint, and I am not sure that I will rush to other places tomorrow, where can I be more sure to see you than at the gate of the palace today?"

Xia Yuanji shook his head: "People say that Xie Jin is accurate, I think you are not worse than him." ”

Jian Yi shook his head: "No, no, no, it's a yin and yang calculation, I'm just reasoning, it's completely different." ”

His face turned pale, and he said, "Getting back to the point, how is going on Qiu Fu's side?"

Xia Yuanji said: "As we expected before, he really came to seek a plan for the King of Han, and it seems that the King of Han is in chaos at the moment." ”

Jian Yi smiled: "Grasshopper after autumn, see how many days he can jump." ”

Xia Yuanji continued: "I told him exactly what we had discussed, and he was convinced that it should soon reach the ears of the King of Han. ”

Zhang Fu looked at Jian Yi and asked, "You said that King Han would really do what we said?"

Jian Yi nodded: "It will be." Yuan Ji has always had nothing to do with the prince on the surface, and we analyze it again, plus the king of Han is dissatisfied with Yuanfeng Yunnan, which is in his arms, with his character, he will definitely believe it. As long as he refuses to go to the vassal country and stays in the capital, how can there be so many suspicious people in the saint who are suspicious? As long as he has the slightest disturbance in the future, he will suffer a great disaster, and the prince will be stable from now on. ”

He turned his head to Zhang Fu and said: "The henchmen of the Han King in the army, such as Qiu Fu, we will gradually lobby and divide them, in the future, you must strengthen surveillance, and if there is any change, immediately cut them off." ”

Zhang Fu patted his chest: "Don't worry, it's on me." ”

Xia Yuanji let out a long breath: "What do you think King Han will find a reason to stay in the capital and refuse to go to Yunnan?"

Jian Yi smiled: "You and I both know that with his character, there is no need to find a reason at all, just write on the fold: I didn't commit a crime, why did I send the frontier? ”

Zhang Fu was stunned: "That's it?"

Xia Yuanji said: "That's enough." And if you do this, it will be the best for King Han. ”

Zhang Fu was puzzled, and Jian Yi took it and explained: "With the Shengshang's understanding of his son, the Han King's domineering character, if he deliberately finds an excuse to stay in the capital and does not go to the domain, it will cause him to be suspicious. ”

He turned his head and asked Zhang Fu: "I heard that the saint was defeated and surrounded by the southern army in Puzikou back then, and the king of Han led the rescue army to arrive, and the saint stroked his back and said: Work hard, the son of the world is sick." Therefore, the king of Han bravely moved forward and broke the southern army. ”

Zhang Fu nodded, this story is widely circulated in the army, of course, someone may have deliberately let it spread.

Jian Yi sighed: "This is almost equivalent to promising the throne of the prince to the King of Han, but later the prince was calm and commanded properly with the assistance of Yao Guangxiao, and held Beiping with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, repelled the sneak attack of Li Jinglong's 500,000 army, and made miraculous achievements." You must know that the king has no jokes, so when he wants to establish the prince now, the saint has to borrow the mouth of Xie Jin, so as not to fall into the name of breaking his word. It's a pity that our talented man has become a thorn in the side of the Han Dynasty and his party, and he will want to get rid of it as soon as possible. ”

Xia Yuanji nodded: "So, as long as the King of Han has no signs of rebellion, no matter how he is sloppy, the Holy Lord will tolerate it, the more arrogant he is, the more it shows that he has no other plans at the moment, and the more relieved the Holy One is." ”

The carriage moved and began to move slowly.

Jian Yi glanced at the sullen Xia Yuanji, and suddenly asked why the saint was in a hurry to summon Xia Yuanji, Xia Yuanji told the conversation in the palace as it was, Jian Yi was silent for a while, and said: "Do you still insist on moving the capital? It seems that the saint has been preparing for this for a long time." ”

Xia Yuanji said: "It's no secret that the matter of moving the capital has been in a uproar in the DPRK and China for a long time, I just don't understand, why does the Holy Lord have to move the capital at any cost? Is it really for the mystery of the whereabouts of Jianwen in folklore?"

"Maybe. Jian Yi muttered in a low voice, no more.

There are many legends about Jianwen's life and death, but it has always been taboo to talk about it publicly. The saint did not recognize Zhu Yunwen's throne at all, and even ordered the historian to cancel the era name of Jianwen, and extended the era name of Emperor Taizu from the 32nd year of Hongwu to the 35th year of Hongwu. These officials only dare to mention it in private among trusted friends.

He squinted at Zhang Fu, it was said that when Jianwen set himself on fire, the troops guarding the saint to enter the palace were led by Zhang Fu, would he know what the situation was? However, he has been silent about this matter, and he is not good to ask too much.

Zhang Fu knew that Jian Yi was looking at him, so he pretended not to know and turned his head to look at the moving street scene outside the car window. He did see some secrets back then, but some things can only rot in his stomach, and he must not say anything, not only for himself, but also for the safety of these friends. Sometimes, the less he knows, the safer he is, and it is not easy for him to keep secrets from his friends, and many times he even wishes he had never known them.

He couldn't help but think of the wise saying: Ignorance is bliss.
