People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 443: Waiting for him to despair, the person the emperor trusts most
“From the moment you step into this industry, you shouldn’t have any illusions that you can one day escape!”

Smiling to himself, he slowly walked into Runyu Hall.

"Stop all your movements..."

He looked so weak, which made Chen Man feel very distressed.

Chen Ke is Chen Man's master and his idol.

Although this damn fat man may not be an extraordinary person, he has always had the courage to refuse to admit defeat.

However, the other party shattered everything about Chen Ke.

All hope still has a way out.

"Shopkeeper, do you want me to go..."

"You won't be able to make any difference, so let's wait for Mr. Luo to bring someone over to negotiate terms..."

Chen Ke said:
"I'm willing to admit defeat, what we did was not authentic to begin with!
Now that you have become a mouse, is it not that easy to clear your name?
The only way out now is to cooperate fully and beg the old man to let my child live...

Don't worry, these people need me, so I won't make things difficult for them!

At worst, I'll be a dog for them, it's not like I've never been one before! "

After Chen Ke finished speaking, he closed the door and there was no more sound.

……

"So, can we recruit that fat man now?"

In Prince Qin's Mansion, Zhang Yi, who had just witnessed Chen Ke's collapse, felt a little depressed.

It's not that he sympathizes with Chen Ke. His relationship with Chen Ke is compatible, but more of a conspiracy against each other.

Chen Ke plotted against himself, and there was nothing wrong with him plotting against him.

But after witnessing a person's collapse, no one else would be in a good mood.

Zhang Yi is not a god, he was just an ordinary person in his previous life.

Hearing Zhu Xi's question, Zhang Yi raised his head.

At this time, Zhu Xi was in his "home", having climbed over the wall from next door.

“The mother and daughter of Chashan were killed, these people are very cruel!

We also checked the old man named Mr. Luo, and his identity is quite interesting! "

"How to say?
"He is a eunuch...

Strictly speaking, they were eunuchs who left the palace in the previous dynasty and were the most pitiful people!
Who would have thought that after being a slave for too long, I really feel like I am a member of the previous dynasty. People like them are more loyal than ordinary Mongolians.

This is probably what you mean, the fanaticism of converts..."

Zhu Ping continued:
"Chen Ke has two bloodlines...

One of them is on his face, representing his identity as his wife, children, and children...

These people were with him.

The other one is the lineage of Wu Shan that he secretly left behind!
He probably also knows that he is likely to die and his family will be implicated!

So in a way, with this bloodline on the surface, he was already prepared to die with him!
However, he devoted too much effort to Wu Shan.

In order to prevent people from suspecting their involvement, Chen Ke rarely helped each other. A few pieces of meat and a few taels of silver were the compensation that his father gave to his children...

However, he has higher expectations for Wu Shan. He would rather not recognize each other than let the other party live!

So when Old Man Luo caught him, he completely collapsed! "

What people fear most is not being prepared...

Zhang Yi very much agrees with Zhu Xi's analysis. It's also the death of a relative. If a person suffers from a terminal illness for several years, when you have a psychological expectation of his death, although he will be sad when he dies, it is relatively a little better.

But if a loved one dies suddenly, it's a different story.

Chen Ke did not expect that Wu Shan would be discovered, so when Mr. Luo appeared, his entire psychological defense collapsed.

Zhang Yi was still frightened.

This world is far more dangerous than he imagined. He has been assassinated before and has experienced the dangers of this world.

But this experience of becoming a ghost made Zhang Yi realize that the world is not easy.

Being dragged into the trap by Chen Ke was an interesting experience.

"Zhang Yi, tell me, if we try to win over Chen Ke now, will Chen Ke...? Submit?"

"Actually, anytime His Highness tries to win over Chen Ke, this fat man is just asking for it. He has two minds and it's not just a day or two!

If there is a chance to join the imperial court, this fat man will laugh out of his dreams.
But this man is cunning. He will not be loyal to Ming Dynasty or Bei Yuan. What he is loyal to is only his own desire!
So it's okay to win over him, but it's best to make him desperate enough...

If a proud person like him is not suppressed severely, who knows how many evil thoughts he has? "

Zhang Yi has been in contact with Chen Ke for several years and knows this person quite well.

"What's more, to suppress him and make him despair, the target is not him, but the old man!
He was suspicious and knew that Fatty had different intentions. If Fatty Chen didn't have something in his hands, how could he use Fatty Chen with confidence? "

Zhu Xi was stunned when he heard this and could not calm down for a long time.

Zhang Yi was confused:

"Your Highness, did Pindao say something wrong?"

"No, after listening to your analysis, I think it makes sense. Zhang Yi, thank you for your hard work on this matter..."

"I can't say it's hard work, but I was dragged into the water. I have to make them pay some price no matter what...

Especially knowing that these people are the ones who assassinated me three years ago..."

"what?"

Zhu Xi took a sip of water and was stunned.

He felt a little guilty. How could Zhang Yi bring up the assassination three years ago?

"Have you ever been assassinated?"

Zhu Ping decided to play dumb.

"It's a small thing, it's over now!"

Zhang Yi only touched on this topic, but did not continue to ask.

"Your Highness, I'm going back to Qingxin Temple for that poor Taoist!"

Zhang Yi is out a lot these days and rarely has time to clear his mind.

But over at Qingxin Temple, Guanyin Nu had already taken the notes passed by Zhang Yi several times. Both Mr. Luo and Guanyin Nu were tricked by Zhang Yi, the second dealer in the news.

"Okay, I'll find someone to take you there. You go to the backyard, there's a carriage waiting for you there!"

Zhu Fang called one of his men and asked him to send Zhang Yi to the backyard!

Wherever there would be a carriage, it would take him directly to any place.

Zhang Yigang left!

The door to the room behind Zhu Xi opened and two people walked out.

If Zhang Yi were here, he would definitely be shocked.

"Father!"

Zhu Xi turned around and saluted the two of them.

The expressions on Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's faces at this time were very complicated.

"We haven't seen each other for three years. The little brat back then already looks a bit like a young man!"

Lao Zhu couldn't help but sigh.

It has been several months since Zhang Yi returned to Yingtian.

Zhu Yuanzhang kept suppressing it and did not go to see him.

It's just that today, on a whim, he left the palace specially and came to Prince Qin's Mansion!

Knowing that Zhang Yi was coming, Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao hid in Zhu Cang's study and secretly observed Zhang Yi.

The look of nostalgia on his father's face made Zhu Xi secretly frightened.

Emotionally speaking, these sons are naturally Lao Zhu's favorites, needless to say.

But for people other than relatives, even Zhu Yuanzhang's son Li Wenzhong, or his son Li Jinglong.

Lao Zhu never showed much emotion.

Zhang Yi's status in his father's mind seems to be more than just his value... "Indeed, in just three years, he has reached the age where he can get engaged!"

Like Zhu Yuanzhang, there is Zhu Biao.

Compared to Lao Zhu, he is even closer to Zhang Yi:
"If it hadn't been for what happened three years ago, my father would have confessed everything to him...

Now we can’t wait to see each other and not recognize each other! "

"You can't hide it from him for much longer. You didn't look at him and you were already testing your dick just now?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked complicated, and Zhu Fang and Zhu Biao were slightly surprised when they heard this.

“With the Zhang family’s younger brother’s scheming attitude, it’s only common for him to discover!
The reason why he could hide this matter for so long is that he rarely goes out and doesn't know what's going on outside!
Secondly, because of Zhang Zhenren’s endorsement, he never thought that his father would help others deceive him..."

After Zhu Biao reacted, he agreed with Lao Zhu's judgment.

Zhang Yi is not a fool, he is just dark under the lamp.

Although the emperor never confirmed the assassination that year, no one mentioned it as time passed.

But not many people will forget the killings three years ago.

Blood will always remain fresh in people’s memories!

"Don't mention this!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand. The matter of recognition was his heartache.

"Second brother, what do you think of him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Xi, and Zhu Xi thought for a while and said:
"The Zhang family's brother's treatment of Chen Ke is exactly the same as what his father said!
The sons and ministers would have been shocked just now, if they didn't know that their father and the younger brothers of the Zhang family had never met each other.I thought it was you, Father, who told him..."

Zhu Xi was really envious. Zhang Yi had one thing that all their brothers envied, that is, his ideas were extremely in tune with the emperor.

The so-called king's heart is unpredictable. Whether it is a minister or a father and son, who doesn't want to have this ability?
“You don’t have to doubt this kid’s ability, he might even be hiding it!
Okay, I'm back in the palace, you fully cooperate with his actions!

When necessary, control Chen Ke! "

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he left the Prince of Qin's Mansion under Zhu Xi's personal farewell.

"Rather than coming to see me, my father came specifically to see the younger brother of the Zhang family..."

Zhu Fang turned around and went back home, preparing to ask people to find Mao Xiang. ,
"Your Highness, the commander asked Zhiling to see you!"

Zhu Chong was stunned. He hadn't heard Ling say this name for a long time.

From the time he took charge of Jinyiwei, Ling Shuo's presence was very low.

Although he was also the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, Zhu Yuanzhang did not lose his authority.

But Ling said that the current limelight cannot overshadow Mao Xiang.

The origin of all this was also due to the assassination three years ago.

Gao Jianxian and Ling said that as the guards of that incident, they were derelict in their duties.

Gao Jianxian had already gone to find the Lord of Hell under Zhu Yuanzhang's thunderous wrath.

Mao Xiang had a low status at that time and did not have to shoulder responsibilities.

And Ling said that although Lao Zhu still asked him to be responsible for arresting officials and supervising officials, he looked majestic.

The intelligence work that Mao Xiang was responsible for seemed less eye-catching.

But Zhu Fang knew that in the competition between Mao Xiang and Ling Shuo, Mao Xiang had already secured the victory.

Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding of Jin Yiwei.

The Jin Yiwei is divided into two parts, one is to supervise the officials, and it is the knife!

One is the part with the naval department as the core, which collects intelligence and guides public opinion. It is the eyes and ears!

You can hide a knife when it is dull, but you cannot be without eyes and ears.

If he hadn't stepped in, Mao Xiang should have become the commander of the Jinyi Guards long ago.

But Zhu Yuanzhang placed himself as the commander of the Jinyiwei, probably because he had to wait for Mao Xiang.

"Let him in!"

Although Zhu Xi didn't like Ling, he was still his subordinate after all.

"Your Highness!"

Ling Shuo came over with a stack of memorials and handed them to Zhu Xi:
"These are the lists of officials we found who may be involved in corruption. Some of them have been sent to prison, and some of them have backers...

Your Highness needs to make a decision! "

Zhu Xi picked out these lists and looked at them, with a look of displeasure on his face.

Let him make the decision. The person who can make you hesitate must have someone behind you.

This kind of matter is not left to Zhu Yuanzhang, but directly to himself.

Let's not talk about whether it is compliant or not. Even this evil person is not easy to deal with.

When he took over Jin Yiwei's job, it was tantamount to shouldering a blood debt.

Every decision he made would offend a large number of civil servants.

This is not just a matter of severing his desire for the throne. Even if Zhu Ping has no intention of taking the throne and will become a vassal in the future, these people will inevitably hinder him behind his back. ,

Although Zhu Yuanzhang expressly prohibited officials from impeaching or prosecuting the prince.

But if these people want to harass people, they will definitely have various methods.

After Zhu Fang realized this, he tried his best to reject many matters related to arresting officials.

But this guy still wants people to come to him?
"Let it go, I will handle it myself!

But in the future, His Majesty should make a decision on such matters! "

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin said that he will definitely follow the instructions after he is dismissed from the official position, um...

Isn't His Majesty here? "

Zhu Yuanzhang left through the back door, and the responsible Jin Yiwei was not under Ling's control.

Zhu Xi seemed to know why Ling Shuo came here specially with the memorial?
They came here to show Zhu Yuanzhang.

It's a pity that he was in vain. When the emperor stepped forward, he came back.

Nowadays, it is a matter of selling laughter to the blind.

Zhu Feng was angry and said coldly:
"Ling Tongzhi, you can walk the way to the palace by yourself, there is no need to come to this king to show off!
Get these things yourself! "

He took the opportunity to throw the memorial in front of Ling Shuo.

Ling said that he was beheaded for his little thought, and his face turned red. He did not dare to look at Zhu Ping, so he could only pick up the memorial on the ground in frustration.

He confessed and left.

When I went out, I happened to meet Mao Xiang.

Three years later, the young boy who didn't need to be looked at at the beginning has become the biggest enemy of his own progress.

Ling Shuo and Mao Xiang's eyes met, and they were smiling.

When Mao Xiang went in, Ling said "tui" and spat out a mouthful of phlegm on the ground.

"Sir, you have offended His Highness the King of Qin today, and the future will be even more difficult!"

Ling Shuo's confidant came over, worried.

Ling said that he was agitated by what he said.

In the past three years, he has gradually felt that the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guards is getting further and further away from him.

Ling said he also knew there was something wrong with him and hated Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, he was unwilling to let him be suppressed by Mao Xiang.

"What can I do? Your Majesty has always had a strong opinion of me!
Even if I want to break the situation, I can’t!

Over the years, I think I have been working hard, but in the end, I can only watch myself being suppressed?

I thought that His Majesty could not do this, so I could please the King of Qin by clicking below and asking him to put in a nice word for me!

But His Highness the King of Qin, too, can’t get enough oil and salt! "

"Yes, the problem now, sir, is that there is no one whom Your Majesty can trust to speak good words for you!"

Believe it?
Ling said he was reminded by his subordinate's unintentional words, and the figure of a little Taoist priest appeared in his mind.
