People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 447 You are my brother, a big game of chess

Chen Ke's legs were a little weak, but he was fully prepared along the way.

He thought about who he would meet.

Go to prison, or see the master of Jinyiwei?
Chen Ke was mentally prepared, but he never thought that the person he met was actually the son of the Holy Emperor, His Highness the King of Qin.

"Shopkeeper Chen, look at your potential!"

Zhang Yi knew him well, so he could afford to make good-natured jokes.

Chen Ke didn't care about being embarrassed. He had never seen such a big person before.

Although these people also made friends with some Yingtian Mansion officials because of the auction house.

But he can't reach the top officials above the third rank either.

Zhu Ming was someone he never dreamed of meeting.

"His Royal Highness Qin?"

Chen Ke asked in a trembling voice.

"That's right! Let's go, Pindao is not from Jinyiwei. If you hadn't insisted on dragging Pindao into trouble, I wouldn't have had much interaction with you!
Therefore, if you ask for a chance of survival, you should not ask for it on the head of a poor man. Your Highness, the King of Qin, is the one you should surrender to..."

Surrender to the King of Qin?

Chen Ke's heart beat violently.

Damn it, is this such a good thing?

He was confused and followed Zhang Yi forward. After a while, someone came to search Chen Ke up and down.

After passing through the complex and exquisite corridors, the two finally entered the hall where Zhu Xi received guests.

Because he was meeting outsiders, Zhu Xi did not meet Zhang Yi at the usual place, but chose a more formal occasion.

Chen Ke looked at the Jin Yiwei around him like a mouse looking at a cat, feeling guilty.

Not long after, he saw another Jinyiwei. He was not wearing an ordinary flying fish suit, but a python suit. This kind of clothing represents the prosperity of the holy family. At a glance, he knew that the other person was a senior official of the Jinyiwei.

But these high-ranking officials were just waiting on one side.

"Zhenzhen Zhang, His Highness has been waiting inside for a long time!"

"Commander Mao, thank you!"

Zhang Yi revealed the other party's identity with just one sentence.

Currently, the commander's seat in Jinyiwei is vacant.

Although Zhu Ping took charge of the Jinyi Guards, he was not officially named the commander.

Although the emperor wanted to send him into a big dye vat to be dyed black, he would not really allow his son to sit on a seat with a brazier underneath.

Since the commander of Jinyiwei is vacant, the so-called Mao Tongzhi is Mao Xiang, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei!

Such a person who can stop children crying at night, is so respectful to Zhang Yi?

The legend about Zhang Yi is famous in the capital.

But there are not many people who really understand Zhang Yi!
Chen Ke had been in the capital for so long and even thought about getting to know Zhang Yi, but she had not seen him in person in these years.

From this we can see his mystery.

"go in!"

Mao Xiang personally searched Chen Ke again before letting him in.

Chen Ke followed Zhang Yi and entered the hall.

He saw a richly dressed young man, walking quickly like a dragon or a tiger.

"See you..."

Chen Ke recognized the other person at a glance. Although he had never met Zhu Ping, his clothes and his temperament were enough to let him know Zhu Ping's identity.

But just as he was about to bow down, Zhu Ping ignored him.
The other party walked directly in front of Zhang Yi and patted Zhang Yi on the shoulder.

"Are you putting yourself in danger again?

How many times have I told you that I would rather this action fail than nothing would happen to you! "

When Fatty Chen heard this, he was inexplicably horrified. He suddenly raised his head and stared at Zhang Yi and Zhu Xi.

For the prince to say such words, Zhang Yi's position in Zhu Ping's heart is self-evident.

Chen Ke had been estimating Zhang Yi's own value along the way, but he found that he couldn't estimate it at all.

This little real person, at least in the heart of a prince, is very important.

"Your Highness, Shopkeeper Chen is an old friend and will not harm me!"

Zhang Yi was also a little moved by Zhu Xi's performance.

He changed the subject without leaving any trace.

Only after this incident did Zhu Xi's eyes fall on Chen Ke.

Chen Ke felt that there was scrutiny and sharpness in this gaze.

Chen Ke secretly complained, if he had known this, why did he threaten Zhang Yi?
"Caomin, pay your respects to His Highness the King of Qin!"

When Chen Ke saw Zhu Xi finally looking at him, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"You are Shopkeeper Chen!"

Zhu Ming's voice was neither yin nor yang, and Chen Ke's heart immediately became tangled.

This King of Qin treated Zhang Zhenren and treated him as if they were in the same heaven and on earth.

Chen Ke also knew that he was not allowed to save face here. He did not dare to raise his head and just replied:
"Your Highness, little Chen Ke..."

"Okay, no need to introduce yourself. I have heard a lot about you recently. Come in!"

When Zhu Ping treats outsiders, he shows his inner dandy to the fullest.

His moody attitude is quite a bit like that of Zhu Yuanzhang. Although he is immature, it is more than enough to serve as his subordinates in line with his status.

Chen Ke was easily manipulated by Zhu Ming, and his rhythm was completely taken away.

Zhang Yi shook his head and smiled.

In an era of distinct classes, even a lawless and pretentious person like Chen Ke will be affected by a person's identity.

The three of them entered the drawing room, and the servants brought tea.

Zhu Xi said:
"Wu Shan, don't worry, Jin Yiwei is also watching, this world belongs to the Ming Dynasty, not to those mice!
I will help you ensure their safety! "

Zhu Xi got straight to the point and directly brought up what Chen Ke was most concerned about.

Chen Ke didn't expect that His Highness the King of Qin would be so cheerful?

He was not a fool. Knowing that Zhang Yi had lured him here, he must have wanted to recruit him.

Chen Ke has never dreamed of such a thing as recruitment.

And he is also thinking about how to sell himself at a good price.

Businessmen, there is no shame in driving up prices.

The most important condition for Chen Ke is to protect Wu Shan and others.

But before he opened his mouth, Zhu Xi helped him solve it.

"As for being an official, your son's ability is not as good as one-tenth of yours. If you just let him take the imperial examination, he will stop being a scholar in this life!

If you perform well, I will recommend him to my father!

I cannot guarantee this as a high-ranking official. This must be done based on his ability!

But in the capital, I am [-]% sure that my father will allow me to be a leisurely official..."

Ah!
Zhu Ping's conditions far exceeded Chen Ke's expectations.

No matter how good he thought, he never thought that Zhu Ping would give his son a future?
If someone in the family seeks fame, it can be regarded as a matter of honoring one's ancestors.

Chen Ke had mixed feelings. Even though he had all kinds of calculations in his mind, he was still not as generous as the Zhu family.

If he hadn't been aware of current affairs, he would have spent so many years in the world in vain.

"My subordinates will be so cruel to His Majesty the King of Qin that I will not hesitate to die!"

Zhu Xi glanced at Zhang Yi and saw him nodding and smiling.

He said to Chen Ke:
"Okay, I feel your sincerity, but remember one thing, you are working for His Majesty, not for me..."

After this period of training, he is no longer the young man who lacked political sensitivity before.

To stop an incident that might lead to false accusations, Zhu Ping said:
"Since you are satisfied with my conditions, the imperial court will also have its requirements, Chen Ke..." "Young man is here!"

The dead fat man no longer looked lifeless at the beginning, and his face turned rosy.

"I want you to cooperate with Master Zhang and help Guanyin Nu leave Yingtian Mansion..."

Even though Chen Ke was somewhat prepared, he was still surprised when he heard this.

"Small compliance!"

Zhang Yi saw that this fat man was really shameless.

"If you do this well, maybe everything you expect will come true. The operator of this matter is Your Majesty!"

Zhang Yi said a word and gave Chen Ke another shot of chicken blood.

Your Majesty is the person behind this matter?

This is a big deal!

"Yes, this incident was set up by my father. If you can do it well, why worry about not achieving fame?

Fatty, I know that you are ambitious, but whether your ability is worthy of your ambition depends on you..."

Chen Ke quickly said:
"Young one, I will do my best to share your Majesty's worries!"

"Okay, go down!
Waiting outside, I have a few words with Zhang Yi! "

Zhu Ming asked Chen Ke to go down, and Jin Yiwei came over quickly and asked him to leave.

After the other party left, Zhu Mingcai sighed:

"It's better that you know him well. With just these few words, you won't have to waste any time to defeat him!"

Zhang Yi smiled and said nothing. Chen Ke was a smart person, but his character strengths and weaknesses were very clear. Zhang Yi didn't find it difficult to manipulate the other person.

However, taking care of it now does not mean that it will be fine later.

A person can do many embarrassing things because of his vision.

But when his horizons increased, it was another matter.

The same is probably true for Fatty Chen. He can bow down for power now, but he cannot ignore his own abilities because of this.

"After Chen Ke's matter is resolved, someone will cooperate with us to complete the fishing work!

But how to let go of the Guanyin slave smoothly still needs to be thought about!
When, with what excuse, and..."

Zhu Xi started to discuss the details with Zhang Yi. There was no problem with the general direction. The next step was the details.

Mr. Luo is a very suspicious person. If something goes wrong, he will definitely stop the action.

"Your Highness, are you getting married this year?"

Zhang Yi suddenly mentioned this matter.

Among the sons of the Zhu family, Zhu Fang is considered an older young man.

He was supposed to get married in the fourth year of Hongwu, but because of his interference, he still hasn't gotten married in the sixth year of Hongwu.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the prince was required to join the vassal when he came of age. Although in history, Zhu Xi also delayed for many years before leaving.

But no matter what, whether he goes to Xi'an or Japan, he should accomplish a major event in his life.

After reaching a compromise with Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Pang honestly accepted Lao Zhu's arrangement.

Considering that Zhu Di and others are going to get married in about a year or two, Zhu Xi, the second oldest, must get married this year.

In fact, the emperor had already decided on a date, but he had not yet announced it to the outside world.

Hearing this, Zhu Xi nodded silently.

As long as it's not that Guanyinu woman, he has no objection to who he wants to marry!

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang had somewhat consulted his opinion on the marriage arranged for him this time.

"You mean to use my wedding to create conditions for them to escape?"

"To be precise, it is to create conditions where they believe they can escape...

Your Highness is getting married. It should be reasonable and reasonable for Jinyiwei to allocate manpower to attend to your own affairs and please the superior officer, right?
This is a more convincing reason to reduce the manpower of Jin Yiwei guards!

Mr. Luo has a delicate mind. If we rashly reduce the manpower of Jinyiwei, he will definitely be suspicious!

With Fatty Chen cooperating with us, everything will become reasonable. "

Zhu Xi thought about it and found that this idea was really good!

Using his wedding to transfer Jin Yiwei away in a fair and just way was what those people thought was an opportunity.

As everyone knows, the so-called opportunity is just a network carefully compiled by the court for these people.

"Your Highness, is my information effective in the north?"

Zhang Yi remembered another thing and asked Zhu Ping in a low voice.

Zhu Feng chuckled:
"Father has already expressed his anger with General Xu, and General Xu is fully cooperating!
No matter how Wang Baobao probes, we will cooperate with him on what he wants to verify...

He will see whatever he wants to see! "

Zhang Yi sighed after hearing this.

He himself had boasted about it to Xu Da.Let Xu Daneng defeat Wang Baobao once in his lifetime, wash away the humiliation of the Lingbei Battle, and restore the Ming Dynasty's dissipated morale.

Under normal circumstances, it would be almost impossible for Xu Da to succeed.

After the Battle of Lingbei, his status in the court declined. Both Zhu Yuanzhang and the ministers would have concerns about the Northern Expedition that went deep into Mobei.

On the other side, Beiyuan does not have the strength to move south on a large scale for the time being. The decisive battle between the Ming army and the Yuan army will not happen within the next two years.

Two years later, after Wang Baobao died, this matter was destined to be Xu Da's heartache.

And Zhang Yi is trying to use the remaining two years of Wang Baobao to give him a miracle!
I did everything I had to do, and I just left everything to fate!
The two discussed for a while, and Zhang Yi said goodbye and left.

Returning to the backyard of Prince Qin's Mansion, Chen Ke was waiting here respectfully.

"Master Chen!"

Zhang Yi saw Chen Ke in a daze and said hello to him. ,

Chen Ke's fat face suddenly blossomed:

"Master Zhang, just call me Xiao Chen..."

Zhang Yi: ...

Chen Ke is not old, about forty years old. If he were in his previous life, he would probably be a middle-aged man.

But in this current time and space, a 40-year-old can even become a grandfather.

He actually let himself call him Xiao Chen?

It's really shameless.

"Shopkeeper, isn't this good?"

"Why is it bad? From today on, you are my brother..."

Chen Ke's smile almost reached his ears.

Zhang Yi took a step back calmly.

"The real person knows me. I am bent on moving forward and want to make some achievements in this prosperous and peaceful new dynasty!
Just because of my previous identity, I was limited everywhere!
Now that I have said it, I have completely let go of the stone that I have weighed down for decades!

So coming here today is an opportunity given by the real person, and it is also the blessing that Xiao Chen and I have accumulated over the years by doing good deeds and building bridges and paving roads!

Thinking of the past few days, to be honest with you, I wanted to die!
Especially when Chen Man was tortured like this today, I don’t know what to say?
Although that child is not my son, he has been with me longer than my son!

If it weren’t for real people, we both would have to answer today! "

Chen Ke knelt on the ground and kowtowed nine times towards Zhang Yisan.

Zhang Yi smiled and said nothing. He just listened to half of what Fatty Chen said.

This guy was moved, but speculation was really speculation.

"Shopkeeper Chen, let's stop playing those little tricks. We are all old acquaintances. Come up here!"

Zhang Yi took the initiative to get in the car, and Chen Ke quickly followed him.

"Go back and follow me to meet someone!"

Seeing someone again, Chen Ke seemed to have guessed who Zhang Yi asked him to meet, and his face darkened.
