My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 84
Zhu Zhanhe had a different expression in the Hall of Martial Arts. He could fool Zhu Di, but he couldn't fool Yao Guangxiao.

"This one……"

Zhu Zhanhe hesitated for a moment, thinking that it would be good to discuss with Yao Guangxiao.

So Zhu Zhanhe asked with a solemn expression, "Master, can you tell me about Ji Gang?"

"Ji Gang?"

Yao Guangxiao raised his eyebrows, and looked at Zhu Zhanhe in surprise, as if he had guessed something?
However, Yao Guangxiao was not in a hurry to ask, but replied: "Ji Gang is quite courageous. When His Majesty just raised his army, he ran to seek refuge and became His Majesty's confidant. He has been in charge of Jinyiwei these years and has also helped His Majesty do a lot. Nothing."

"Since Ji Gang was able to become the favorite of the emperor's grandfather from a mere commoner, he is definitely not a mediocre person, but why did Jin Yiwei make so many mistakes during this period, and even allowed the rebels to sneak into the palace?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked meaningfully.

"Are you suspicious of Ji Gang?"

Yao Guangxiao immediately understood what Zhu Zhanhe meant, and frowned when he spoke.

"It's not that I doubt him, but his behavior is really suspicious. For example, just after Hui Hai died today, he anxiously identified Hui Hai as the real murderer behind the scenes. He never thought that there might be someone behind Hui Hai. Isn't this a bit of a cover-up? "

Zhu Zhanhe expressed the suspicion in his heart.

Yao Guangxiao also showed a pensive expression after hearing this, and after a while, he raised his head and said: "Ji Gang's performance in the past two years is indeed not satisfactory. I thought he was slack before, but now that I think about it carefully, it seems a little strange."

"The young master also thinks that he is behaving strangely, so should we report it to Grandpa Huang?"

Zhu Zhanhe's eyes lit up, he himself is weak, but if Yao Guangxiao is added, it will definitely attract Zhu Di's attention.

"Don't worry, I'll ask someone to investigate Ji Gang secretly, and it won't be too late to report to His Majesty after the investigation is clear."

Yao Guangxiao shook his head and said.

"Are you going to investigate Ji Gang? He is the commander of Jin Yiwei?"

Zhu Zhanhe was very surprised, he had only heard that Jin Yiwei went to investigate other people, and this was the first time he heard that Jin Yiwei was going to be investigated, and he was also the leader of Jin Yiwei.

"Hehe, son, you don't think that only Jin Yiwei in our Ming Dynasty has the power to detect and investigate officials?"

Yao Guangxiao smiled proudly.

"Could it be that in your hands, Young Master..."

Zhu Zhanhe's eyes widened in shock, it was the first time he knew such a secret.

"That's right. I also have a team of spies in my hands, but they are mainly used to collect military information from the outside world. But if the matter is urgent, it is not difficult to investigate a certain official internally."

Yao Guangxiao nodded and admitted.

"That's great. If you have any results from your investigation, Young Master, don't forget to let me know!"

Zhu Zhanhe clapped his hands excitedly.

With Yao Guangxiao's intervention, Zhu Zhanhe felt more at ease.

Saying goodbye to Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Zhanhe suddenly thought of something on the way back. Because Ji Gang's death was too strange in history, there are many speculations in later generations. One of them said that Ji Gang was killed by Zhu Di because of his collusion with Zhu Gaoxu. execute.

In addition, there is the death of Xie Jin. It is said that Ji Gang was also bribed by Zhu Gaoxu, so he got Xie Jin drunk and buried him in the snow to freeze to death.

"Oops, in case Father and Ji Gang really colluded, it would be really embarrassing if the young master finds out about it!"

Zhu Zhanhe let out a cry, and immediately sped up his speed.

After returning home, Zhu Zhanhe immediately went to find Zhu Gaoxu.

In the martial arts arena in front of the main hall of the palace, Zhu Gaoxu, who was still a little thin, whirled a big iron spear as thick as a duck egg. Gao Guang and other eunuchs all hid far away, for fear that the prince would accidentally smash him to death. them.

This iron gun weighs about seventy to eighty catties, but this weapon is not used for actual combat, but for building strength, which is similar to the dumbbells of later generations.

Zhu Gaoxu's dance was not fast, but after practicing a set of marksmanship, he was still sweating from exhaustion, so he took the towel handed by Gao Guang and wiped off his sweat.

Just at this time, Zhu Zhanhe walked over quickly, seeing Zhu Gaoxu immediately stepped forward and grabbed his arm, saying: "Father, let's go to the study, I have something important to discuss with you!"

"Don't go to the study room, I feel uncomfortable hearing the word 'book' now, let's talk in the hall!"

After Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, he took Zhu Zhanhe to the main hall, and made Gao Guang and others retreat.

"Father, there is something I want to ask you. Let's talk about it first. You have to tell me the truth."

Zhu Zhanhe said with a serious face.

"What's so serious?"

Zhu Gaoxu was also very surprised. Judging by his son's appearance, it should not be a trivial matter.

"There are rumors from the outside world that Xie Jin's death at the beginning of the year was that you bribed Ji Gang to do it. Is this true?"

Zhu Zhanhe stopped making rounds and asked directly.

"What nonsense!"

Zhu Gaoxu slapped the case and said angrily.

"I, Zhu Gaoxu, kill people. Why do I need someone else's hand? What's more, a villain like Ji Gang is insidious, has a vicious personality, and is rampant when he succeeds. How can I get involved with someone like him?"

Zhu Gaoxu said angrily again.

"So father, you really have nothing to do with Ji Gang?"

Zhu Zhanhe finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Of course not. Ji Gang is a dog raised by the emperor's grandfather. I don't like him at all. As for Xie Jin, he deserves to die. Your emperor's grandfather has tolerated him for so many years, and he has treated him well!"

When Zhu Gaoxu finally mentioned Xie Jin, his face showed a bit of disdain.

Zhu Zhanhe nodded in agreement when he heard the words. Xie Jin is indeed a great talent. He has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child, but he is judged by later generations as having more than IQ but not enough EQ.

For example, when it came to Li Chu, no one else dared to intervene, but Xie Jin jumped up and down to support Zhu Gaochi, and finally helped Zhu Gaochi win the crown prince with the words "good grandson".

Of course, Jin Zhong also expressed his support for Zhu Gaochi, but don't you look at his qualifications?That's the origin of the history of Yan Wangfu, and Zhu Di's logistics chief during the Jingnan period. How can Xie Jin, a small cabinet bachelor, be compared?

Zhu Gaochi became the prince, and Xie Jin worked hard to build a good relationship with him. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xie Jin wanted to bet on the prince in advance so that Zhu Gaochi would be reused after he ascended the throne in the future.

Zhu Gaochi also knew Xie Jin's thoughts, but he was worried that Zhu Di was jealous, so he deliberately kept a distance from Xie Jin, but Xie Jin didn't know it. Instead, after being demoted, he ran to see Zhu Gaochi while Zhu Di was marching north , simply because he was afraid that he would not die fast enough.

In the end, Zhu Di couldn't bear it anymore. After all, he was not dead yet, so Xie Jin began to curry favor with his son.

So one day, Zhu Di casually asked Ji Gang, "Is Xie Jin still alive?"

Ji Gang immediately understood what Zhu Di meant, and finally Xie Jin was frozen to death.

It can be said that Xie Jin and Zhu Gaoxu are almost on par with each other in terms of killing.

"It's fine if you don't, I'm finally relieved!"

Zhu Zhanhe also let out a sigh of relief at this time, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

"What's the matter, why did you suddenly ask Ji Gang, is there any problem with him?"

Zhu Gaoxu was not stupid, so he asked Zhu Zhanhe immediately.

"This one……"

Zhu Zhanhe hesitated for a moment, then suddenly slapped his hands to change the subject.

"By the way, the person who leaked father that you can't eat shrimp has been found!"

"Really! Who is he?"

As expected, Zhu Gaoxu's attention was diverted, and he asked immediately, gnashing his teeth.

"The other party's name is Hui Hai, and he is a monk next to the young master. His family members died in Jingnan, so he harbored hatred for his father, so he colluded with the imperial chef to poison your father."

Zhu Zhanhe didn't go into too much detail, after all, there is no right or wrong in this kind of thing.

"I see!"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, not surprised, after all, there were too many people killed by himself during Jing Nan, and there were naturally more people who wanted to seek revenge from him.

"By the way, you haven't told me if there is something wrong with Ji Gang?"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaoxu was not easy to be fooled, and asked again. It seems that the time in Wenhua Palace also made his rusty mind more flexible.

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that when Ji Gang accompanied us to arrest people today, I felt that he was unworthy of character, and the previous commanders of Jinyiwei did not end well. Therefore, Ji Gang will definitely have bad luck in the future. I'm afraid of you, father. be implicated by him."

Zhu Zhanhe lied again.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Zhu Gaoxu, but that Zhu Gaoxu had a hot temper. If he knew that Ji Gang was behind his poisoning, he might have taken a knife and chopped him down right away.

"So it's like this. You're thinking too much. Not only do I look down on Ji Gang, but even your uncle and third uncle look down on him."

Zhu Gaoxu laughed when he heard the words, and did not doubt the truth of Zhu Zhanhe's words.

Two days later, Yao Guangxiao sent someone to invite Zhu Zhanhe to Tianjie Temple.

In the Buddhist hall of Jingshe, Zhu Zhanhe and Yao Guangxiao sat facing each other. On the table in front of them, there were three pieces of information.

"Look at this one first!"

Yao Guangxiao pushed the information on the far right to Zhu Zhanhe.

Zhu Zhanhe picked it up and opened it, and found that it was a piece of information about Ji Gang's crimes.

For example, Ji Gang and Xue Lu, Marquis of Yangwu, were jealous of a female Taoist priest. In the end, they even broke Xue Lu's head with an iron melon, and Xue Lu almost died because of it. This bad breath.

The second thing is that Zhou Xin, the procuratorate of Zhejiang Province, arrested a hundred Jinyiwei households because of the lawlessness of the Jinyiwei in the local area. As a result, Ji Gang collected evidence and framed him for treason, which led to Zhou Xin's unjust death.

In addition, Ji Gang was accused of embezzlement, soliciting bribes, enriching his own pockets, etc., all of which seemed shocking.

"What a Ji Gang, I only heard that Jin Yiwei was powerful before, but I didn't expect him to use the power in his hands to commit so many serious crimes!"

After reading the information in his hands, Zhu Zhanhe gritted his teeth with hatred. He finally knew why the people in the capital feared Jinyiwei like a tiger. Just a Ji Gang, what he did was more terrifying than a tiger or a wolf.

"Although these Ji Gang's crimes are hateful, he is a vicious dog raised by His Majesty. It was originally used to bite people, so it is not enough to explain anything. The most important thing is these two!"

As Yao Guangxiao said, he pushed the information from the middle and the left to Zhu Zhanhe.
