Fang Zhongjin and Ji Changan both thought that they would monitor the residence of the Ministry of Officials and Xia Yuanji for a long time.

But they didn't expect that an edict from the emperor would interrupt the step-by-step plan so quickly.

This day was originally the day of the early dynasty, and it is said that Jinyiwei did not need to go to the court.

But the emperor ordered someone to immediately recruit Fang Zhongjin and Ji Changan to the court.

Under the urgency of the edict, Fang Zhongjin and Ji Changan could only put down everything they were doing, and immediately sorted out their court clothes and rushed to the palace.

When they arrived at Taihemen, they saw that the civil and military officials were already in chaos.

Master Ji Gangji is tall and strong, and he is quite eye-catching among everyone.

What's more, he seems to be arguing with someone at the moment, his eyebrows are raised, and his face is pale.

Around him, there was a circle of civil officials, all pointing at Ji Gang and scolding.

Fang Zhongjin and Ji Changan didn't expect to encounter such a scene, so they hurriedly quickened their pace and ran towards the inner hall.

As the emperor, Zhu Di is holding the armrest of the dragon chair with his hands, and he is tired of holding his forehead.

This kind of appearance is completely different from the capable and confident Zhu Di that Fang Zhongjin saw in the past. It was as if he had a splitting headache disturbed by the shouting and scolding among the courtiers.

After Fang and Ji finished saluting Zhu Di as courtiers, Zhu Di asked them to get up. And Ji Gang and those civil servants also stopped the dispute for the time being.

Then Zhu Di, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, asked Ji Changan: "When you canonized the queen of the Ryukyus, you and Zheng He were the ones who pulled the strings?"

Ji Changan didn't expect the emperor to summon him, and he actually asked about it.

After he glanced at Fang Zhongjin, he said to Zhu Di respectfully: "Your Royal Highness, it is indeed the minister who was entrusted by the queen of the Ryukyu Kingdom to bring the queen's watch back to the capital. ”

Zhu Di said again: "Now Zheng He is not allowed to come back overseas. I just ask you, is the one who lives in Yangxue Courtyard now really the queen?"

As soon as Ji Changan heard this, he opened his mouth and stammered.

He did hear about Jiang Dai coming and escorting two of his men into Beijing.

But what a noble position the queen is, as a male courtier, he is naturally not allowed to ask for an audience without being summoned.

Besides, Ji Changan also knew that the relationship between Jiang Dai and Fang Zhongjin was a little ambiguous, and he wouldn't provoke this commotion.

Ji Changan replied honestly: "The minister has not yet had the honor to meet Her Royal Highness the Queen, and it is impossible to say whether it is true or not. ”

His words made Ji Gang, who was standing on the sidelines, slightly satisfied, and he said bluntly: "The minister's subordinates have gone to invite the queen, and after the queen goes to the palace, all the authenticities will be clear." ”

As soon as he said this, it was like a thunderclap among the courtiers who surrounded him.

The ministers were all arguing in such excitement that they could not hear what they were arguing about.

At this moment, Zhu Di, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, although his face was still calm, anyone could see that he seemed to be suppressing his anger.

It was the old minister Xie Jin who was the first to shout: "Be quiet!"

As soon as the other ministers heard his words, they really quieted down.

At this time, Xie Jin looked directly at Ji Gang and said: "The private seal worn by the queen is personally granted by His Majesty, and Master Ji has no evidence, how can he insist that the queen's identity is doubtful." ”

Ji Gang also ignored Xie Jin, and only said loudly to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, the minister has conclusive evidence in hand! But there are some treacherous villains in the court who are ready to move, and the minister is afraid that once he shows evidence, the other party will find an opportunity to escape."

If it weren't for the queen's personal arrival, the minister would never have taken it out easily! I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness!"

Xie Jin sneered and said, "Now the emperor has not yet made a decision. But you are also bold, and you don't wait for the emperor's will to ask the queen to come. Do you still have the word Chaogang in your eyes?"

Ji Gang still snorted coldly and ignored Xie Jin.

Fortunately, Xie Jin himself is a temperament that can't be spilled with oil and can't be burned.

Although Ji Gang didn't give him a good face, Xie Jin still said: "This tribute itself is a major matter, and it is related to the national system.

You said that the queen was fake, so you caught people indiscriminately. If it turns out later that the queen is true and correct, will you be responsible for this?"

Ji Gang finally seemed to notice Xie Jin, and snorted coldly: "The one who lives in Yangxue Courtyard now has a charming appearance, and people say that he has the style of praise and self-esteem. He is also frivolous and debauched.

As long as it is a man, no matter how old he is, he is tempted by her.

Now it seems that this statement is true. Although Master Xie has a wife and a concubine in his family, he still spares no effort to speak for the one in Yangxue Courtyard. This is already evident. ”

Xie Jin smiled, as the head of Wenchen, the last thing he was afraid of was fighting with people.

I saw that his face returned to a mocking look, and said, "Where are my wives and concubines worth mentioning in the court?"

However, Master Ji misses his deceased wife and will not marry for life, which makes people respect.

I didn't have the opportunity to see the Queen's face, but I was always vigilant that I couldn't lose the face of the Celestial Empire.

Where is like Lord Ji, the women of the world are no longer in their eyes. Naturally, I won't be bewitched by any praise and Daji. ”

After saying this, he sneered at Ji Gang with frowns. I don't know what he's hinting at.

Somehow, Ji Gang seemed to have been stabbed in a hornet's nest, and his face suddenly showed anger.

He even took a step forward, his hands clenched into fists, almost as if he was about to choke Xie Jin's neck.

At this time, Zhu Di finally spoke: "Stop a little! What do you think of this place?"

Ji Gang and Xie Jin both found that they had gone too far.

Xie Jin accepted the hippie smile and bowed towards Zhu Di.

Ji Gang no longer looked at Xie Jin, but his fists were still clenched tightly.

Zhu Di said again: "Ji Gang, what are you sure about, just say it now!"

Ji Gang was silent for a while, and finally said: "I'm afraid that even if this queen is real, she came to the territory of the Ming Dynasty for evil intentions. ”

These words really moved Zhu Di, and he said "oh" and said, "Come carefully!"

Ji Gang said: "According to the minister's inquiry, the one from Yangxue Courtyard is not just coming to Mingtu, she has been here for more than a year.

She also went to the conference in Huashan that year. ”

The major event of the rebellion on Huashan was not known to everyone in the palace.

Many people couldn't help but whisper when they heard his endless words.

When Zhu Di heard his words, he leaned back in his chair and said: "I said a long time ago about Huashan, and all the heroes were blinded and left.

It's over, and I'm not to blame for it. ”

Ji Gang didn't relent: "This queen arrived in Mingtu early, and she didn't report to the court, but wandered around. Is it just for the sake of sightseeing?"

At this time, Zhu Di glanced at Fang Zhongjin who was standing on the side with a smile, and asked, "Then according to Aiqing's eyes, what is this queen doing this for?"

Ji Gang said with a look of ambition on his face: "That's to be a spy for Dongying Kingdom!"
