The night gradually sank, and the small courtyard where Fang Zhongjin was living calmed down.

At least on the surface, it seems to have calmed down.

There were three rooms in total, and now there are no candles.

Wan Hongfu and they were all asleep, and their breathing was long and heavy. Occasionally, the sound of barking dogs pierced the silence at the mouth of the alley.

Fang Zhongjin sat alone in his room, and did not light a candle, but just sat motionless in his chair.

If it weren't for the fact that his eyes were clear and resolute in the dark room, someone might have thought he was asleep.

Fang Zhongjin sat alone in this darkness, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

He had waited from the hour to the present, and finally at three o'clock in the hour, he heard a "squeak" from the courtyard.

Originally, the gate of the courtyard was not bolted, but it was just concealed.

Apparently someone pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.

In Wan Hongfu's room, the sound of long breathing paused, but then the sound of smooth breathing that had not been hindered just now was restored.

Fang Zhongjin still didn't get up.

Until the sound of footsteps in the courtyard reached the door of his house, and then the door was pushed open.

Through the moonlight, Fang Zhongjin saw that the person standing at the door was the current emperor - Zhu Di!

In the middle of the night, no one was alarmed and left the palace alone. Unexpectedly, he really came to the courtyard where Fang Zhongjin lived.

Zhu Di's country is from horseback, and his martial arts are not much worse than some heroes in the rivers and lakes.

If it was the weak emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty, let alone not alarming the guards to climb out of the palace wall. Even if you want to leave your dormitory in the middle of the night, you have to disturb a bunch of yellow doors and palace maids.

Although Zhu Di came to Fang Zhongjin's house, his face was full of anger.

When he saw Fang Zhongjin, the first thing he said was: "Okay, I really want me to come to see you! You had better have some reason, otherwise I will never spare you!"

Fang Zhongjin didn't take too much, stood up and saluted Zhu Di as a courtier, and invited Zhu Di to take a seat.

Zhu Di naturally wouldn't be polite, and went directly to the top and said, "Say it." Why do you want to cut off Ji Gang's right arm? Ji Aiqing is my right-hand man. If you break his arm, you will unload my arm!"

Fang Zhongjin said unhurriedly: "The minister is guilty." It was an emergency. If the minister doesn't make a move, the loss will not only be an arm of Lord Ki, but the life of the Queen of the Ryukyus!

If the Queen of the Ryukyus really makes a mistake, then the Ryukyus can be regarded as having a grudge with my Ming Dynasty. Although the Ryukyus were a small country at the time, if they fell to the east, then the Japanese of the east would have a springboard.

When the time comes, they will invade our territory again, and they will not worry about the lack of supplies, nor will they worry about having nowhere to hide. From now on, the coastal rebellion will no longer be difficult to control!"

Zhu Di was silent for a while before he said coldly: "Count your kid as being able to speak!"

He paused for a moment and then added: "But you can face the death penalty, and the living sin cannot be escaped!"

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, anyone who heard the emperor's words would be shocked and his legs trembled and he knelt on the ground with a plop.

But Fang Zhongjin still looked calm and calm, and asked, "I don't know what the minister is guilty of?"

Zhu Di smiled angrily and said: "First my son Gao Xu's kid, and then Ji Gang, you have said in front of me that you are not during this time."

This morning, Ji Gang accused the Ryukyu Queen Jiang Dai of harboring Zhu Yunwen in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces. I speculate that he will not be just for the girl of Jiang Dai.

Otherwise, he would not have been emboldened, and he would have taken it upon himself to send Pu Jinnian to Yangxue Garden without waiting for my order. He's in such a hurry, probably for you!"

Saying that, Zhu Di glanced at Fang Zhongjin with deep meaning in his eyes, and continued: "I have a debt to your mother, and I appreciate your father's personality even more. So although you kid has repeatedly done things that disobey me, I always don't punish you on the grounds that you haven't exceeded my bottom line. DID YOU KNOW?"

Hearing these words in Fang Zhongjin's ears, he was indeed a little shocked.

He has always regarded Zhu Di as one of the enemies who killed his mother, and while secretly accumulating strength, he has also been thinking about whether he can protect the safety of the people around him if he takes revenge at this moment.

It wasn't until I saw Zhu Di for the first time in the palace that I knew that this "mother-killing enemy" was actually the big man who let him go.

Even at that time, Fang Zhongjin didn't have many thoughts about changing.

If it weren't for hearing Zhu Di say in person today that he was full of regret for his mother's death, Fang Zhongjin really didn't think about why Zhu Di let him go several times.

At this time, Zhu Di's voice was sharp, and he said with anger in his eyes: "But Zhu Yunwen's matter has already exceeded my bottom line! I know that Ji Gang has been going around the court for a long time before, and in the end, he is trying to lead the matter to you." If it weren't for the sudden news of Park Jinnian's death, he would definitely tell the relationship between Jiang Dai's girl and you in the future, yes and no!"

Fang Zhongjin was silent.

Zhu Di continued: "To put it bluntly, what happened on Huashan back then. I know you play an important role in this. And Zhu Yunwen was also present that time! You dare to say that there was no transaction between him and you!"

When Fang Zhongjin arrived, he greeted Zhu Di's anger, and suddenly said: "The minister does have a deal with Zhu Yunwen and uses it. ”

Zhu Di didn't expect Fang Zhongjin to admit it so boldly, and he didn't know how to attack for a while.

Fang Zhongjin then said: "After the minister left Jimingpo, the emperor wanted to know a thing or two about all the circumstances, but not all of them. I wonder if Your Majesty would like to listen to the ministers?"

In fact, Zhu Di has always been curious about how Fang Zhongjin changed from a scholar to a master of martial arts in a few years.

So he took the teapot from the table, poured himself a cup of cold tea, and said, "Say it." ”

Such an act of pouring himself a drink, Zhu Di is afraid that he has not done it for decades. Now he doesn't put up a shelf in Fang Zhongjin's house, but seems to be a person who listens to stories.

And Fang Zhongjin knew that now Zhu Di and him were on the line. If it is really because of Zhu Yunwen's matter, it is a trivial matter for him to get out, but it is difficult for those people behind him to ensure safety. What's more, the four sons of Wudang, who are far away in Xiangyang, will also be implicated by themselves.

Fang Zhongjin took a deep breath and said something important about what happened after the rooster crank, and even more detailed some things on Huashan. It's just about the three iron boxes, but he hid it and didn't say much.

After Zhu Di heard such a complicated and bizarre story, he put down the cold teacup and sighed: "The twists and turns of your life are not under me." ”

Fang Zhongjin said again: "The minister told the story of his life, in fact, to let His Majesty understand. His Majesty's enemy is not Zhu Yunwen who is bent on leaving. Since he fled to the Ryukyus, he just wanted to survive.

If you are peaceful today, the hearts of the people will be attached. Why can't the emperor spare a useless person who has fled to the edge of the sky?"

Zhu Di didn't answer when he heard this, but played with the ordinary white porcelain cup and didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, Fang Zhongjin continued: "And Your Majesty's real enemy, the hidden danger on the side of the couch. Doesn't the emperor care?"
