Others don't know. As the commander of the Jinyi Guard, how can he not know what kind of situation Dao Yan is in?
It was you who forcefully forced away my most powerful military advisor.
Everyone had already taken refuge in Zhu Ying, so he was still worried about this. He was afraid that he might be connected with me, so he directly sent Dao Yan to Goryeo as a national advisor.
Now he is commanding an army of 200,000 people, living happily and carefree.
The momentum of the attack on the Japanese pirates was greater than that of the king and the king of Jin combined on the coast. Even the invading Japanese pirates rushed over to support them.
It is said that they are almost reaching the Japanese mainland.
Thousands of miles away, who among you doesn't suspect that Daoyan is colluding with me and manipulating this matter behind the scenes?
At this moment, Zhu Di had an impulse to pour the scalding hot tea that had just been brewed in front of him directly onto Jiang Yu's face.
After taking a deep breath, Zhu Di endured it.
He knew that his father was already suspicious, and now it was a critical moment to track down the person behind the scenes. When Zhu Ying was involved, his father was probably going to lose his mind.
It would be bad if he accidentally goes too far and gets his father's attention.
Furthermore, when it comes to Zhu Ying's identity, I am afraid that my father has already investigated it clearly. If I don't act on some ideas, it doesn't mean that my father doesn't know about it.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the personal bodyguard of the father, Jiang Yu, to come here directly on the day of the accident.
To put it bluntly, I am still an object of suspicion in my father's heart.
'Father, my son and I are so untrustworthy to you.'
Zhu Di suddenly felt a little aggrieved.
He has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and is unparalleled among all the princes. Zhu Ying is here, so why can't he even compare with Zhu Yunwen?
Didn't you keep saying it yourself, I am the most like you.
Why has it become like this now?
"Ahem"
After Jiang Wei finished speaking, he saw Zhu Di opening his mouth to speak, but then stopped, and then fell into deep thought, with ever-changing expressions.
All I can do is cough twice as a reminder.
Zhu Di came back from his contemplation, and then recalled for a moment, and then said: "Don't you Jinyi guards know best whether Master Daoyan has any contact with me? Why bother asking me about it?"
"Furthermore, I have been in Peiping for a long time and I am not very familiar with it in the capital. How can I be related to His Highness Taisun's affairs?"
"Commander Chiang, is it too far-fetched for you to ask this question?"
"The relationship between the king and his nephew is already relatively good. On the day of the canonization ceremony of the emperor's nephew, he personally thanked the king. Why did he come to you and start to doubt the relationship between the king and the emperor's nephew?"
At this point, Zhu Di's tone dropped and he shouted: "You must be trying to drive a wedge between me and my nephew!"
Smart people control their own pace during conversations.
When Jiang Wei mentioned Dao Yan, he actually wanted to disgust Zhu Di. After all, the relationship between him and Zhu Di was not good, and they had even collided many times.
It's just that Zhu Di is the king of Yan, and he is his majesty's personal bodyguard and commander of the Imperial Guard.
One is His Majesty's confidant, and the other is His Majesty's prince.
Neither of them can do anything to the other.
If I get the opportunity this time, it is His Majesty's will, so I will naturally force him to do so.
Obviously Zhu Di was not someone to be trifled with. These words immediately caused Jiang Wei's rhythm to become a little confused.
It is a very serious crime to alienate the Tian family.
The nine tribes will be exterminated in defecation, and the small words will be laughed off.
"What are you talking about, His Highness King Yan? The relationship between His Highness Taisun and His Highness King Yan is well known. Naturally, His Highness King Yan has misunderstood."
"I'm here today to talk. I don't want to ask any more questions, but I can't talk to your majesty. If your majesty asks me what I said to your highness, your highness will tell me how to answer."
Jiang Wei was not a light-hearted person, so he immediately avoided family matters and immediately transferred to His Majesty's side.
He knew very well that if he wanted to force King Zhu Di of Yan, he could only do so in the name of His Majesty.
When it came to his father, Zhu Di lost all his martial arts skills and immediately fell into a disadvantage.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Di immediately changed his heartbeat, then forced a smile and said: "Whatever Commander Chiang says will be answered by the Emperor Father as we say."
"My king is an innocent man. This is something that has nothing to do with me, and it is extremely abominable. The emperor's nephew is so kind, and he has made great contributions and immeasurable merits to the country, the country, and the people."
"Such a quasi-saint actually had a small plan to assassinate him. It is simply treacherous and unethical. He should be executed by nine tribes in succession, in order to alert the world to the mighty power of God."
"It's just that I haven't been out to contact others recently. I want to help investigate, but I am powerless."
When talking about the latter part, Zhu Di sighed, seeming to regret that he could not provide enough clues.
Jiang Wei was unmoved. After a short pause, he bowed and asked: "His Royal Highness, King Yan, will go on an expedition to Japan next year and establish a country overseas. I would like to congratulate you in advance."
Zhu Di waved his hand and said: "The Japanese country is thousands of miles away, and we still don't know what the situation is. Since the Yuan Dynasty, the army has been conquering the country, but it has failed twice in a row and suffered heavy losses. We can only know everything until next spring."
Although his words were modest, Zhu Di's tone was extremely confident.
In his view, the Mongols were nothing more than a group of barbaric soldiers who only knew how to use force and not plan.
You can make them surrender without spending a single soldier, and you can imagine how you can defeat the Japanese.
Among the so-called ronin warriors of Japan, Zhu Di also had more experience, but that was all.
Under interrogation, Zhu Di also learned that these Japanese people had a very high status in the Japanese country earlier, and it was just luck that they were not attacked by the Qianyuan Dynasty.
The small Japanese country was no more than a province in the Ming Dynasty. In Zhu Di's eyes, it had long been in his pocket.
When Jiang Wei heard this, he first praised him and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Yan's abilities are known to all the world. The Japanese country is not as good as a mantis's arm acting as a chariot."
"It's just that the Japanese country is easy to fight. It may be a bit troublesome to govern. The situation here is probably similar to that of Yunnan. The indigenous people are barbaric and uncivilized."
Zhu Di was also brought in after hearing this, and sighed: "Yes, it is easy to conquer, but it takes too much effort to govern. Unlike Yunnan, it is finally within the territory of the Ming Dynasty. It is much easier for some scholars to go there, and it can attract a steady stream of people."
The literati went forward."
"Compared to the fact that the Japanese country is far away and has traveled across the ocean, only a few people have gone there. Speaking of which, the emperor's nephew has set up an overseas recruiting center. It is indeed for those like me who want to join the vassal overseas. I have deep considerations.
."
Even Zhu Di had to admit that no matter how he guessed Zhu Ying, these behaviors and actions of Zhu Ying were indeed convincing.
The initial overseas feudal state actually felt like a place of bitter cold in the minds of Zhu Di and others.
Even so, it's pretty good.
When this method of recruiting talents came out, the change in everyone's hearts was obvious.
Providing talents, recruiting scholars, and even enjoying official positions, as well as saying that they can return to the Ming Dynasty, are all trying their best to recruit talents for the Ming Dynasty.
It is said that on the first day it opened, some people came in and were poached by the King of Jin.
Zhu Di didn't care about these two people. After all, everyone's target was not the scholars in the capital. Zhu Di, for example, focused more on his own vassal in Peiping.
The vassal territory has been running for many years, and even if we use some means, we still have to recruit a group of scholars.
At this time, Jiang Wei seemed to ask casually: "I heard that a few days ago, Duke Cao Guo wanted to go to Japan with His Highness to develop. Is there anything wrong if I don't eat?"
Zhu Di's eyes narrowed and his expression suddenly became solemn.
Zhu Di never told anyone that Li Jinglong wanted to go to Japan with him, and even his eldest son, Zhu Gaochi, never knew about it.
He believed that Li Jinglong's character would never be publicized to the outside world. This would be detrimental to himself, let alone letting Jin Yiwei know about it.
So where did Jiang Wei know this news?
Is it possible that Jiang Yu dares to spy on him?
Is this what the father meant?
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Di rejected this speculation.
He believed that it was impossible for his personal guards to be monitored for such a long time without being noticed.
Because of his envy of the Jinyiwei organization, although there are not many people here in Zhu Di, there is still a group of elite backbones who are good at gathering intelligence.
Those who can do this were among the top scouts in the army earlier.
Zhu Di's self-confidence is no worse than that of the elite Jin Yiwei. Perhaps there is only a gap in relationship intelligence.
It is absolutely impossible to not even know that you are being monitored.
Thinking of this, Zhu Di did not hesitate and asked directly: "Where did Commander Chiang hear this?"
Hearing this, a hint of understanding flashed in Jiang Wei's eyes and he said: "The Jin Yiwei side of Xianguan naturally has the path to the Jin Yiwei, so I won't bother Your Highness to worry about it."
Hearing this, Zhu Di secretly said something bad.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Wei was deceived.
Indeed, Jiang Wei actually did not know what Li Jinglong and Zhu Di talked about. Without His Majesty's decree, he did not have the power to monitor the royal heirs.
The information that can be controlled is that Li Jinglong has been to Prince Yan's house.
Li Jinglong's visits to Prince Yan's Mansion were not frequent. He came to the Overseas Recruitment Center when the new system of the vassal king was issued, so it was most likely related to this matter.
However, although he received a clear answer from King Yan Zhu Di, Jiang Wei was still a little shocked.
The relationship between Cao Guogong Li Jinglong and Yan King Zhu Di has actually reached this level.
As His Majesty's nephew, relative of the Emperor, and Duke of the Kingdom.
I would rather give up the endless glory and wealth and go to the Japanese country to help the King of Yan. It is really a righteousness that is astonishing.
Just when Zhu Di was about to say something, Jiang Yu suddenly stood up and bowed: "Your Highness, I am following your Majesty's orders and have other things to be busy with, so I won't bother Your Highness anymore and will take my leave first."
Zhu Di held back the word "good" between his teeth.
Then he watched Jiang Wei leave in a hurry.
Zhu Di knew very well that his relationship with Li Jinglong would be informed to his father, and even the place where Jiang Yu was about to go was Cao Guogong's Mansion.
Thinking of this, Zhu Di's gloomy face felt a little bitter.
It was really an unreasonable disaster. It would be fine if I had some involvement. How could I be involved when I obviously didn't know anything about it?
Thinking of his father's suspicious character, Zhu Di felt his scalp numb.
With my father, there is no need for any evidence. As long as there is a definite guess, I am afraid that I will not be able to get a favor.
Now we can only pray that nothing goes wrong with Li Jinglong.
I really want to report this to my father after being aggravated by Jiang Gu.
Thinking about the consequences, even for his father and his son, Zhu Di felt a little shuddering.
This kind of thing is not unique to Zhu Di. Even King Zhu Fan of Jin, King Zhu Cang of Qin, or other vassal kings had Jin Yiwei go to inquire and take notes.
This can be regarded as treating everyone equally, but when Jiang Yu came to Prince Yan's Mansion, it was obvious that Zhu Di was treated as a priority here.
At this moment, there is another person, deep in the palace, with a flushed face.
It is none other than the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen.
"Why are you asking like this? He is my eldest brother, my dear eldest brother. How could I have the idea of assassinating my eldest brother?"
"You are so bold that you dare to ruin the relationship between my brothers. I will definitely tell Grandpa Huang about it."
Obviously Zhu Yunwen's temperament is not as deep as Zhu Di's.
When Zhu Di was questioned by Jiang Wei, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Zhu Yunwen was also questioned by Liu He, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony.
Even if you pay enough attention to your word choice, you can't avoid it.
Zhu Yunwen felt the connection between this and suddenly exploded.
"Your Highness, please do not be impatient. It is Your Majesty's wish to ask Your Highnesses. This is to avoid suspicion among Your Highness brothers and to dispel Your Highness the Grandson's doubts."
"Although His Highness the Grand Sun has never had such thoughts, even if he did, he wouldn't say it out loud even if he thought about it."
"It is better for Your Majesty to tell the story in detail than to have a knot in your heart."
Liu He explained quickly.
He knew that if His Royal Highness Yunwen caused trouble, he would be the only one who would suffer in the end. Nothing good would ever come from participating in the royal family.
Having been in the palace for many years, Liu He was able to hold such a position and was quite experienced in dealing with people.
Only say good things and never talk behind people's backs. This is the way to be a human being, and it is also the way for Liu He to survive in the palace.
After Zhu Yunwen heard this, the anger in his heart subsided a bit.
Although I was still a little unhappy, I felt that there was some truth in it, so I continued what I said before and replied: "I have been in the palace during this period, and I have never been out, nor have I contacted anyone outside the palace."
"A few days ago, I followed the instructions of my eldest brother to revise the Ming Dynasty Law in Dali Temple. All the officials who interacted with me are from Dali Temple and others. You will know when you ask."
After listening to Zhu Yunwen's explanation, Liu He certainly had no need to argue.
But then he said: "I have something that I need to inform His Highness."
"In the files passed over from Jinyiwei, there is something about Mr. Huang Hanlin and Huang Zicheng. Before the assassination, there seemed to be a messenger delivering letters, and then he contacted friends from all sides, which is quite suspicious."
"These behaviors are not in line with Huang Hanlin's usual style. They seem to come out of the blue and discuss something with others."
"I wonder if your Highness knows anything about Huang Hanlin's situation."
When Zhu Yunwen heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and his expression suddenly changed.
