Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 414 Confession
If it was still the same as before, Zhu Houzhao would not give them this chance.

Now Daming doesn't need to appease them anymore, if he is not convinced, he can come and fight, but Zhu Houzhao reckons they dare not.

Today, whether it is in the northwest or in Liaodong, Daming is in a state of expansion, and several new cities are also under construction.After the construction of these new cities was completed, Daming became a pincer attack on the Central Grassland.

Once this situation is formed, Dayan Khan's living range will become smaller.No matter whether it is going west or east, there is no room for expansion, unless he chooses to go north.

Looking up at Zhang Jun in front of him, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Just finish the matter in front of you."

Zhang Jun also nodded, but he still asked a question with some hesitation.

He looked at His Royal Highness in front of him and said, "Your Highness, how is the progress of the Royal Academy?"

In fact, this matter is not something a courtier should ask, because this matter has nothing to do with Zhang Jun.

But in private, both Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Jun knew that this matter had something to do with Zhang Jun.

Because Zhu Houzhao agreed to let him go to the Royal Academy once the negotiation is completed.

Zhu Houzhao didn't think about changing his mind about this matter, but he knew what Zhang Jun was worried about.

The location of the Royal Academy is now being watched by many people.

Because the previous Martial Academy has set a good example for everyone, if you can enter the Royal Academy, you will become the confidant of His Royal Highness.

The most critical point is that this is the place to teach officials, so that you can train your own team here in the future.

Many people want to put their hands into it, and this is also human nature.Even the three grand maesters of the cabinet have already taken an interest.

Zhang Jun is the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, so it is no problem to get a position with his qualifications.But he wants more, wants better, and there is a problem with that.So he wanted to curry favor with His Highness the Prince.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, nodded and said with a smile: "Things are progressing very smoothly. When the negotiations with Horqin are completed, I will advise my father to let Aiqing participate in this matter. I have always I was searching for a suitable candidate, but after searching around, I found that Aiqing was the most suitable."

It's not that Zhu Houzhao gave Zhang Jun some reassurance, but that he really thought so.

Regardless of his background or experience as an official, Zhang Jun is the most suitable candidate, so Zhu Houzhao is going to use him.

It is not easy to find such a person.Because I also have to consider what my father thinks.I have already reached out to the military, but I have never touched the civilian side.

This time, although the name is called the Royal Academy, it is actually a school for training officials. If you still use your confidants to do this, it will be difficult for the father to explain.

This Zhang Jun is the old man's confidant, so his past words will naturally save a lot of trouble.

Hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, Zhang Jun breathed a sigh of relief.

Since I got the promise from His Highness the Crown Prince, naturally there is no big problem.It is impossible for His Royal Highness to break his word, even if he can't do it in the future, the compensation for himself will not be less.The point is that for such a long time, everyone has known that His Royal Highness is keeping his word.

When Zhu Houzhao was about to say something more, Liu Jin came to Zhu Houzhao's side, his hands and feet were very light, and he put his head next to Zhu Houzhao's ear and said, "Your Highness, Yang Lian and Mou Bin are here."

Zhu Houzhao was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect the two of them to come together.It seems that this time it has paid off.

Originally, I wanted to continue communicating with Zhang Jun about the teaching ideas of the Royal Academy, but now it seems that I have no such opportunity.But this matter is not in a hurry, and it is not a big deal to talk about it later.

Glancing at Zhang Jun, Zhu Houzhao said, "I still have some things to do here, so Aiqing should go get busy first."

Ever since Zhang Jun saw Liu Jin coming in, he knew that something might have happened, because His Royal Highness's expression changed.

So Zhang Jun also stood up, saluted Zhu Houzhao respectfully, and then said, "I will leave."

After Zhang Jun left, Zhu Houzhao told Liu Jin who was beside him, "Okay, let the two of them come in."

Not long after, Yang Lian and Mou Bin walked in from the outside.

Both of them had very serious expressions. After seeing Zhu Houzhao, they knelt on the ground together and said, "I (servant), see Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, and said in a casual tone: "Okay, there are no other people here, so there is no need to be so polite. Let's talk about something!"

After both of them stood up, Zhu Houzhao asked, "Is there any clue to what I asked you to investigate?"

Yang Lian took a step forward and said respectfully: "Returning to Your Highness, we have indeed found something. We have arrested some people and traced some clues. Although we haven't continued to dig deeper, we have actually found some things. Something. The matter is very involved, and the servants dare not make decisions, so they came here to report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Then let's talk!" Zhu Houzhao leaned on the couch expressionlessly, waiting for the two people to answer him.

Yang Lian glanced at Mou Bin next to her, and then said: "Master Mou, this is what you Jinyiwei judged, why don't you tell me, Master Mou!"

Mou Bin glanced at Yang Lian, shook his head and said, "Eunuch Yang is in charge of the whole thing, and Jin Yiwei didn't contribute much, so let Eunuch Yang do the talking, after all, you control the overall situation."

"Okay, Yang Lian, tell me." Zhu Houzhao interrupted the conversation between the two, with some impatience in his tone.

Naturally, the two of them didn't dare to delay any longer, and Yang Lian quickly told the whole story.From arresting Zhang Sheng by himself, to the two of them going to Qin Yong's house together, to returning to the casino by himself, and arresting Wei San and the others, he told everything one by one.

After saying all this, Yang Lian finally said: "That Wei San, the servant has not had time to interrogate, because Jin Yiwei interrogated something with Qin Yong's housekeeper. The matter is of great importance, and the servant and Master Mou dare not preside over it."

"Okay, let's talk about it!" Zhu Houzhao sat up straight, and said in a deep voice: "I just want to hear what you dare not be good at. An eunuch with palm prints from the Huanyi Bureau, and a commander of the Jinyiwei, I The palace wants to hear it."

"Go back to His Royal Highness, here is the confession of the steward Qin Yong." At this time, Mu Bin stood up and presented a confession with both hands.

Liu Jin hurriedly presented the confession to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao took the confession and took a quick look.
