As soon as Ye Feng walked out of the main hall of the Body's Palace, Zhu Di, who already looked very tired, suddenly disappeared from the tiredness on his face.

He sat up straight, as if in contemplation for a moment, and suddenly said, "Come in!"

As soon as the words fell, a door on the side of the main hall suddenly opened, and a person in a vermilion court dress came out from inside, who turned out to be the first assistant of the cabinet, the university scholar Xie Jin!

Xie Jin lowered his head, respectfully walked to Zhu Di and knelt on the ground, shouting three times.

Zhu Di didn't have the slightest intention of letting him get up, but looked at Xie Jin who was crawling on the ground, and asked leisurely: "I specially found someone to summon you to come, you heard it all on the side just now, what do you have to say about what Ye Feng said?"

Xie Jin replied cautiously: "Ye Gongzi is thoughtful, and his reasoning just now is rigorous, which makes the ministers admire, and he is really a rare talent." ”

Zhu Di sneered: "Admire it so much, I'm afraid you are proud, right?"

He suddenly threw out the secret letter that Ye Feng had presented just now in his hand, and the letter paper fluttered in front of Xie Jin.

Zhu Di asked sharply: "Aren't these things he found exactly what you want him to find? All of them are in your calculations, which is really clever!"

Xie Jin's whole body was shocked, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Zhu Di continued: "He is right, this letter was indeed forged by a person who is proficient in framing, but he doesn't know that your scholar Xie is not only proficient in calligraphy, but also a rare master of framing, and even some of the calligraphy and paintings in my collection are also handed over to you for mounting. If you want to rank the framing masters in the capital, you are definitely among the top three!"

Xie Jin still didn't dare to come out, but his hands lying on the ground were already trembling slightly.

Zhu Di was still angry and said: "This letter was forged by yourself at all, knowing that it is difficult for this letter to really hide from the eyes of people who are proficient in calligraphy, but you still did such a stupid thing, and there is only one result, that is, you have washed yourself." ”

"Do you think you can deceive me by doing this? This letter will appear on the body of the deceased Zhao Si, which in itself shows that you who forged this letter must have a deep relationship with the whole conspiracy. There are few people in the DPRK and China who can have such scheming, such precise calculations, and design such a complex conspiracy. ”

He stared at Xie Jin and said categorically: "So, the person who planned all this behind the scenes is actually you!"

Xie Jin shouted in a trembling voice at this time: "The minister is guilty!"

Zhu Di said such a long string angrily, looking a little tired, leaning on the dragon couch and gasping slightly.

After a while, he regained his strength a little, and suddenly asked, "Do you know when I started doubting you?"

Xie Jin lowered his head, his head covered with cold sweat: "The minister really doesn't know." ”

Zhu Di looked at Xie Jin, who was trembling on the ground, and scolded fiercely: "What is the world's first talent, really the first stupid! Planning to kill people can't even throw away the books, the first three people feel strange as soon as they die, how can it be so coincidental, the three people who died, Zhao Si, Qian Jia and Sun Dianchen, this Zhao Qiansun, is clearly sorted according to the surnames of the hundred families, it is really ridiculously pedantic!"

"Since then, I have secretly asked my spies to spy on some of the courtiers, and sure enough, I have found a clue. You are indeed very careful, and almost never interfere in the implementation of the plan, and it is all the crown prince of the East Palace, Yang Pu, who is in contact with him up and down. It's just that at that time, I hadn't connected these actions of yours to the case in Kyochu. ”

Xie Jin's heart trembled, he couldn't imagine that the emperor had already known about Yang Pu.

It's a pity that Yang Pu is young after all, and he panicked when he encountered some changes. After Ye Zhiqiu was imprisoned, Ye Feng came to investigate the case, which was completely out of your plan. Yang Pu wanted to see you several times, but unfortunately you avoided you, and in desperation, he decided to change his plan. ”

"According to your pedantic plan, Zhao Qian Sun Li, the fourth one to die should be surnamed Li, I guess it is Mrs. Ru Yun, right? So it must be Yang Pu's own idea to kill the Han Wang's mansion in Linggu Temple to kill the trap of the Han Wang's Mansion to blame the trouble?"

Xie Jin knelt on the ground and could only nod.

Zhu Di snorted coldly: "But it was this trap that went wrong that made Ye Feng discover the flaw, and also made me, who had always been suspicious of King Han, also suspicious." At this time, I felt the seriousness of the matter, so I asked Ye Zhiqiu in prison to use his network in the rivers and lakes to find the former chief arrester of the Criminal Department, Chang Mantian, to come back to help. ”

"With Chang Mantian's help, I thought I would be able to keep Ye Feng safe, but unfortunately he almost died at the hands of the killer you found. You know how important Ye Feng is to my plan, so you definitely don't dare to touch him, your original plan should be to deal with the King of Han, so this must be Yang Pu's private idea. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help but scolded hatefully: "Fortunately, Ye Fengfu has a big life, this Yang Pu really deserves to be broken into ten thousand pieces!"

Later, Sun Dianchen was not dead, but also tried to control the Beijing camp, and Li Feihu dared to lead the army of the patrol battalion to make a rebellion and attack the palace city, which was indeed greatly unexpected by me. If it weren't for King Han and Ye Feng, they would probably succeed today. ”

When Zhu Di said this, he was furious, grabbed the teacup in his hand and smashed it at Xie Jin: "This is all a good plan planned by you!"

The teacup didn't hit Xie Jin, but the tea in the cup splashed his head and face, startling him.

After Zhu Di threw the teacup, the anger in his chest decreased slightly, and he gasped for a few breaths and scolded with hatred: "If it weren't for your son still staying by Ye Feng's side, I would really want to cut you with a thousand knives!"

Xie Jin's face was full of tea, and he lay on the ground in embarrassment, and kept kowtowing: "The minister deserves to die, the minister deserves to die!"

Zhu Di stared at him for a long time, then suddenly slowed down his tone and said, "Okay, get up, I know that the culprit is not you." ”

Xie Jin was taken aback, got up, and stood with his head bowed in surprise and fear, not daring to look up at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di seemed to be angry, and his tone was no longer so harsh: "I know that the reason why you planned such a plan was actually forced by others. In fact, you also know that this plan will not succeed, so you will forge a secret letter, just in case the plan fails, in order to protect yourself. ”

Xie Jin's whole body was shocked again, looked up at Zhu Di, and blurted out: "Your Majesty, you know everything?"

Zhu Di sneered: "Of course I know, Ye Feng is right, in fact, the person who coerced you behind your back and forced you to plan this whole conspiracy, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, he will be the biggest beneficiary." ”

"If it fails, it will inevitably implicate the crown prince, and if the prince falls, he will have the opportunity to fight for this position. Even if you succeed and get rid of the King of Han, even if the mutinous prince ascends the throne tonight, as long as he makes the truth public, explaining that the new king is a traitor and usurping power, and then unites the old army of the King of Han to fight against him, he will become a righteous act. ”

He sneered: "It's really a vicious strategy!"

Zhu Di suddenly stared at Xie Jin with his eyes, and said hatefully: "Of course this person is the third child, King Zhao!"

Xie Jin sighed, his expression had already explained that Zhu Di was not wrong.

Zhu Di also sighed: "I can't imagine that among my three sons, the third one, who usually looks the most quiet and inconspicuous, is actually the most vicious!"

He raised his head and asked with some curiosity: "I just want to know now, you pedantic and somewhat dull scholar, what kind of tricks does the third child have to make you obediently plan such a conspiracy for him?"

Xie Jin hesitated, suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhu Di and said, "The minister can't say!"

His resolute attitude was a little unexpected by Zhu Di, he was stunned for a moment, and only after a moment did he speak: "If you don't want to say it, forget it, anyway, I will know sooner or later." ”

He didn't force Xie Jin to ask a little surprised, but he was also relieved, and he was silent for a while before he asked, "How is Your Majesty going to deal with Yang Pu?"

Zhu Di glanced at him with some surprise, does that mean that you are still concerned about the lives and deaths of others until now?

After thinking for a while, Zhu Di said: "I have already promised Ye Feng just now that I will not execute the people of the East Palace, how can I go back?"

Xie Jin nodded, and seemed to be very satisfied with this answer, Yang Pu actually didn't know about Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, he was just a foolish and loyal person who wanted to help the crown prince.

Then he asked, "What will Your Majesty do with His Royal Highness King Zhao?"

Zhu Di was silent for a long time before he replied: "What can I do with it without evidence? Not to mention that I have already arranged for a suitable person to meet him." ”

Xie Jin asked, "Who is it?"

Zhu Di said: "In addition to Jianyi, who else is more suitable?"

Xie Jin nodded again, indeed, this treacherous and cunning righteousness is the most suitable to deal with this matter.

In the end, Xie Jin finally asked: "So what is Your Majesty going to do with Weichen now?"

Zhu Di looked at him and asked, "What do you think I will do with you?"

Xie Jin didn't speak, just closed his eyes.

Ever since he agreed to the coercion of Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, and planned this earth-shattering conspiracy for him, he had already thought that he would die.

If the plan succeeds and King Zhao ascends the throne, he will definitely not be allowed to be killed, and he will definitely be killed, after all, such a conspiracy to seize the throne is not glorious.

If the plan fails, the emperor will definitely kill him, after all, he personally planned such a conspiracy.

In any case, he is dead.

But at this time, Zhu Di said faintly: "Don't worry, I won't kill you." ”

Xie Jin's closed eyes opened suddenly, and he couldn't believe that he had regained hope of life in a mortal situation.

But soon, he figured out that the reason why Zhu Di didn't kill him was not because he cherished his talent, but because of his son.

It is because his son is still by Ye Feng's side, and because his son is still in Zhu Di's plan, so he still has the value of using it.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was his son who saved him, and the corners of Xie Jin's mouth couldn't help but show a faint wry smile.
