Jian Yi looked like a hippie smile: "It's chaotic outside, it's martial law, and it's a sergeant all over the street, it looks like it's going to be a big mess, and the two of us are going to Brother Jie's house to avoid trouble." ”

Xie Jin looked up at Hu Guang, he lowered his head and said nothing, looking reluctant, and at a glance he could tell that he was dragged by Jian Yisheng.

Xie Jin asked, "Where are the two of you at the moment?"

Jian Yi said: "The wife and children of the family, together with the servants and the family, were all sent to the British government, and he unified the dispatch and was relatively safe. ”

The British Gong Zhang Fu, the father of Zhang Idiot Zhang Fatzi, is a military family with great military achievements, and there are government soldiers in the house to escort him, and his family members are indeed safer in his house.

Xie Jin frowned and asked, "Then why don't you two go together?" You must know that in the next scholar, there are only a few family members in the house, how can you keep the safety of the two adults?"

Jian Yi smiled, his face was full of cunning, and he said meaningfully: "Once the capital is really in chaos, I'm afraid there is no place safer than Lord Xie's mansion, right?"

Xie Jin was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood the meaning of Jian Yi's words.

It seems that this old fox is also suspicious of himself. No wonder he wanted to send Hu Guang's family members to Zhang Fu's mansion and dragged him to his place.

He looked at Hu Guang, who was a little depressed, this is a rare smart person in the court, and it seems that he still hasn't been able to fight the old fox Jianyi.

Hu Guang and Xie Jin have been fellow villagers since childhood, Xie Jin is one year older than him, and the two have been classmates since childhood, but Xie Jin has been famous since he was a child, as early as the twenty-first year of Hongwu, he participated in the court examination and won the Jinshi, and was favored by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and stayed by his side.

It's a pity that Xie Jin was young and vigorous back then, arrogant and arrogant, offended many officials in the DPRK and China, and was falsely accused. Emperor Taizu thought that he still lacked self-cultivation and needed to be tempered, otherwise he would easily become the target of the ministers' attacks.

So Taizu summoned Xie Jin's father into the palace and asked him to take Xie Jin back to his hometown, study behind closed doors, and cultivate his self-cultivation. I studied this book for eight years.

It was not until Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne that Xie Jin was reactivated and sent to Hezhou, until the end of the fourth year of Jianwen's Jingjing Battle was transferred to the capital, entered the cabinet, and became the first assistant.

In comparison, Hu Guang only won the list in the Jinling Palace Examination in the second year of Jianwen, but he was immediately reused by Emperor Jianwen, which can be said to be smooth sailing.

During the period when Xie Jin was relegated to go home to study, Hu Guang, who had a good relationship, did not visit him once and avoided it. It wasn't until Xie Jin returned to Beijing to take up his post that he moved around frequently again as a fellow countryman and old friend, and the two families re-friended.

Pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages, Hu Guang's cleverness can be seen from this.

Later, before the siege of Nanjing by the army of King Yan was about to break the city, Hu Guang, Xie Jin and Wang Gen Wang Jingzhi, who were also fellow villagers in Jiangxi, gathered together at the house of Wu Pu, Hu Guang's neighbor.

The four Jiangxi talents, who were also valued by Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen, spoke generously together and expressed their loyalty. Hu Guang was even more in tears, claiming that once King Yan broke the city, he would die for the country to repay the emperor's kindness.

Among the four, only Wang Jingzhi didn't say a word, and he cried silently.

After they left, Wu Pu's son thought that Hu Guang was very loyal, but Wu Pu smiled bitterly and said that Hu Guang would never die, and only Wang Jingzhi would die.

Before the words fell, I heard Hu Guang in the yard next door shouting loudly to his family: "It's a mess outside, take care of the pigs at home, don't run away!"

Wu Pu sighed to his son: "He can't even give up a pig, how can he give up his life?"

Later, as he said, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, broke the city, and Xie Jin and Hu Guang immediately threw themselves into the new emperor, and only Wang Jingzhi committed suicide and martyrdom.

After this incident came out, the whole court knew Hu Guang's character, but he didn't care about it, and it was human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

It seems that Jian Yi saw through Hu Guang's weakness, sent his family members to Zhang Fu's mansion as hostages, and dragged him to find Xie Jin.

Since the emperor gave Xie Zhenliang and Hu Guang's daughter a finger for marriage, the Manchu dynasty thought that the two families were one.

Actually, they were wrong.

Since being involved in the dispute between the crown prince and the king of Han, as Xie Jin gradually fell out of favor in front of the emperor, Hu Guang also began to reconcile with the mansion to maintain a distance.

Jian Yi took him to distinguish that he was to balance himself, but this time, this old fox may have miscalculated.

Xie Jin looked at Jian Yi with a smug look on his face and asked, "What does Brother Yizhi mean by this?"

Jian Yi smiled and did not answer positively, but said: "Even Brother Jie's own son is suspicious, I'm afraid I can't blame other people for thinking like this, right?

Xie Jin smiled bitterly, the meaning of Jian Yi was obvious, if it was really Xie Jin who designed all this conspiracy and led to the chaos in the capital today, then the rebels would naturally not come to harass him, the mansion of the person who was behind the scenes.

He shook his head and said to Jian Yi: "But Brother Yizhi, the letter that my son just said was indeed not written by me, and I really don't know anything about what is happening in Beijing now. ”

Jian Yi looked into his eyes, and the expression in those eyes was frank and open, and it didn't look like he was lying.

Jian Yi's face changed slightly: "What you said is true?"

Xie Jin replied categorically: "It's true!"

Jian Yi looked a little disappointed and full of confusion, and muttered: "Apart from you, who else in Beijing can devise such an ingenious and complicated conspiracy to frame the King of Han? Who has such a deep scheming and such great ability?"

Xie Jin sighed: "Brother Yizhi, as the crown prince Zhan Shi, you often meet with the prince, and you don't even know about it, how do we know about it?"

Jian Yi's expression froze, and he said: "Yes, this person must be someone from the prince's side, so that he can grasp the whereabouts of the prince and arrange the whole thing well." Why didn't I think of that?"

Xie Jin nodded, it seems that Jian Yi, the old fox, has figured it out, the prince entered the palace that day to face the saint suddenly, if it wasn't for the people around the prince, how could he know when he entered the palace and when he returned to the palace, so as to arrange the killer to ambush him halfway and pretend to assassinate?

So this person must be someone close to the prince, or, or maybe the prince himself?

Jian Yi shook his head, no way, this idea is too terrible.

The prince has been benevolent and filial since he was a child, so most of the officials will support him, and he will never do such an insidious and vicious thing that murders his siblings.

Never!

The smug look on Jian Yi's face just now is all gone, replaced by deep fear and trepidation, he has been trying his best to support the prince, in order to stabilize the court, for the stability of the country, the prince's temperament and character are the best choice.

However, do you really know this His Royal Highness the Prince?

He felt a cold sweat on his forehead, and looked up at Xie Jin.

Xie Jin seemed to be able to guess what he was thinking at the moment, and nodded to him calmly.

There was silence in the study for a moment, and there was no sound.

After a long time, Jian Yi suddenly shook his head and said, "That's not right." ”

Xie Jin asked, "What's wrong?"

Jian Yi pondered and said slowly: "Brother Jie, you originally spoke up for righteousness in order to establish the crown prince, so you offended the Han King and his party. For more than a year, you have participated in the Han Dynasty several times and lived in the capital for a long time, and if you did not go to the domain, it violated the system, which caused the emperor to be displeased, and your favor was decreasing. The Manchu Dynasty knows that you are a good minister who is dedicated to protecting the crown prince. ”

Xie Jin nodded, indicating that he was right.

Jian Yi frowned: "Since you have nothing to do with the current conspiracy to frame King Han, in this case, the secret letter mentioned by Ling Gongzi just now is definitely not the hand of Brother Jie, naturally someone painstakingly forged it to blame Brother Jie?"

Xie Jin still nodded: "That's right." ”

Jian Yi's eyes were full of doubts and he said: "If the person who planned to frame the conspiracy of the King of Han is for the crown prince, how could he forge this secret letter to frame you, the brother who is also defending the prince?"

Xie Jin seemed to have been asked, shaking his head with a blank expression.

Hu Guang, who had not spoken, looked up at this time and said, "Is it because of personal grudges?"

You must know that Xie Jin is arrogant and arrogant, and often participates in the mistakes of others, offending many courtiers in the court. It is not impossible to say that someone set up this plan to retaliate against Xie Jin because of personal grudges.

Xie Jin smiled, and thought to himself, of course I am not as smart as your brother Hu Guang.

This Hu Guang is usually cautious and meticulous, and he never participates in the performance of others in front of everyone in front of the palace, and always waits until he disperses the court to see the emperor in private, so for many years, no one in the court knows what he said to the emperor.

Perhaps, this fellow villager and classmate Hu Guang has also participated in me a lot behind my back, Xie Jin couldn't help but think so.

But Jian Yi thought about it and shook his head, since the person who was hiding behind the conspiracy had exhausted his efforts to plan such a complex and sophisticated plan, just to stabilize the prince's position, how could he inexplicably frame Xie Jin, who helped the prince, because of personal grudges?

This is tantamount to cutting off one of the prince's arms in the court, which is really unreasonable.

After thinking about it, I couldn't figure it out, and then Xie Jin suddenly said faintly: "Maybe we all thought wrong." ”

Jian Yi raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did you think wrong?"

Xie Jin sighed and said, "We all thought that if it wasn't the Han King's faction that set up the poison plan and did this series of shocking cases, it must be the prince's party." ”

He looked up at Jian Yi and said slowly, "What if we all guessed wrong?"

Jian Yi was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "You mean that behind these conspiracies, there is actually a third force?"

Hu Guang on the side was full of surprise, and blurted out: "What you said, Mo Fei, Mo Fei, is Zhao ......"

Xie Jin and Jian Yi looked at him at the same time, he knew that he was speechless, covered his mouth, and swallowed back the words that followed.

Jian Yi sighed: "No matter what the truth is, the chaos in the capital is far beyond the power of you and me to stop, let's protect ourselves first and wait and see what happens!"

Xie Jin smiled slightly at this time, and said lightly: "Maybe we don't have to worry too much, the emperor is still the emperor after all." ”

His words sounded a little clueless, but Jian Yi's eyes gradually changed when he looked at him, and he could feel that Xie Jin's words were only very meaningful.
