Chapter 190 Provocation, Layout
Few people knew about the meeting between Fang Xing and Ji Gang outside the Shenji Camp, and no one spread the word, so it quickly dissipated.
The weather was getting colder, and the Wacha people outside the pass also subsided a lot, but Zhu Di's mood did not subside at all with the easing of the situation, but became more excited.
"Waci is short of food?"
Zhu Di looked at Ji Gang who was kneeling on the ground, the corners of his mouth were tightened, and a flame was shining in his eyes.
I need to fight!
Daming needs to fight!
Ji Gang leaned forward and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Waja people had several skirmishes with Alutai this year. Although they won, the cattle and sheep did not grow well because of the excessive deployment of troops."
Nemesis!
Zhu Di was extremely happy in his heart, and then gave Ji Gang, who sent the good news, a gentle expression.
After seeing this expression, Ji Gang pretended to be hesitant and said, "Your Majesty, minister..."
Zhu Di hummed, and Ji Gang hurriedly said in panic: "Your Majesty, I have heard a rumor recently, and I am afraid that it may insult the Holy Spirit, so I don't know whether to say it or not."
What annoys Zhu Di the most is this attitude of holding the pipa and half covering his face. His wrist holding the vermilion pen is tense.
"Your Majesty, some people say that the House of Thousands of Households in Jubao Mountain is just outside the Jubao Gate, and it is not in the hands of reliable people. If something changes, the Imperial City may be..."
"roll!"
There was no emotion in Zhu Di's voice, Ji Gang hastily kowtowed, and then walked backwards.
The eunuch sneered secretly at the side: Do you Ji Gang think His Majesty is a fool?
Not to mention that the Shenji Battalion is just outside Zhengyang Gate not far from Jubao Mountain, the strength of the troops around the imperial city alone can prevent an enemy army with less than 10,000 people from making a surprise attack, which is a lot of trouble.
Moreover, what Ji Gang said just now was suspected of provoking the relationship between Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Di. If Zhu Di had no suspicion of Zhu Zhanji, it would not be a sentence to get out.
You must know that Zhu Di overthrew his nephew, so he managed the clan very strictly. The unfinished cutting of feudal clans in the hands of Emperor Jianwen was basically accomplished in his hands.
So the current Zhu Di would never have thought that the Zhu family would dare to plot against him.
The Ming Dynasty was different from the Tang Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were many powerful families, and people didn't look down on the so-called royal family at all. When compiling the family tree, the ranking of the Li family was pulled to the back.
So Li Longji, the emperor who stepped on the road cleared by Empress Wu, was very proud, and enjoyed the shade for a long time, but was awakened from the pear garden by An Lushan.
The aristocratic families before the Ming Dynasty had long been wiped out by the Mongols, leaving a relatively stable environment for the rulers.
Li Shimin killed his brother and put his father under house arrest, which made him a joke in the eyes of scholars at the time.
So the so-called Tang Zong didn't dare to show any violence at all, otherwise he would be a scumbag who murdered his brother and imprisoned his father in the history books, which also allowed Wei Zheng to be famous in history.
But Zhu Di was different. He was forced by his nephew to cut down the vassals, and he continued to attack the remnants of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties after he took office, providing a relatively stable environment for the future border of the Ming Dynasty.
I am guarding the gate of the country for Ming Dynasty!
This is where Zhu Di's confidence lies!
Ji Gang felt that he was not going well recently, so he went to the prison.
In prison, Xie Jin was still studying. Since the emperor had not decided his life and death, he was able to enjoy relatively stable conditions.
"Bachelor Xie is so elegant!"
After Xie Jin saw Ji Gang, he closed the book and sighed: "To disturb people's interest, it really means not reading!"
This is the third time Ji Gang has been humiliated today, and he gritted his teeth.
"You can do it yourself!"
"You can do it yourself!"
Leaving this sentence, Liu Kui felt a little thirsty, but he just didn't care to drink water, because the time for night ban was coming. So he hurriedly left the obsessed woman behind and walked out quickly.
As soon as he walked out of the gate, Liu Kui was bumped into his arms by a man running in a hurry.
"Bold!"
Liu Kui felt pain in his arm as if he had been pricked by a needle, and he couldn't help but want to catch this man who couldn't see his face clearly.
"I'm sorry, sir, the night ban is about to come, the villain is in a hurry to go home, offended."
The man put his hands behind his back, explained in panic, and then ran away before Liu Kui caught him.
"stop!"
Liu Kui wanted someone to catch the man, but when he thought about the "scenery" in the yard behind him, he stomped his feet bitterly, and then walked under the eaves towards the bullock cart at home.
At the same time, the Qinhuai River was full of lights, and as the time of night ban approached, many lanterns were gradually extinguished.
Those who should leave have already left, but those who dare not leave are still lingering on the painting boat.
"Let's go, wait for the people from Wucheng Bingmasi to catch him when it's late!"
In front of a painting boat that was still boldly lit with lanterns, two men were walking forward anxiously.
"What are you afraid of? Isn't this boat still lit?"
"You know what! That's because Zhao Guozhang is on top!"
"Zhao Guozhang? That Jinyiwei Qianhu?"
"The little concubine in his family ran away with someone in the afternoon. Does he still have the mind to play with women here? How broad-minded!"
The two men hurried away from the horses, causing a few low hisses. Jin Yiwei, who was guarding the boat, couldn't help losing his mind, and then laughed again.
"Are you kidding, who dares!"
Jin Yiwei has a great reputation, who would dare to abduct their woman!
But when a horse came galloping, and the knight ignored the Jin Yiwei and rushed onto the boat, something seemed wrong.
"What?"
After a while, the disheveled and angry Zhao Guozhang got off the boat, hurriedly got on the horse that was approached by the two men and rushed out.
The ox cart was moving slowly, Liu Kui felt a little excited in his body, and seemed to see the Buddha coming to pick him up.
Is this the benefit of my devotion to the Buddha?
Liu Kui was lying in the car laughing, his eyes were out of focus, and his face was full of madness.
"Is the time right?"
In the night wind, Fang Xing was standing in the shadow at the end of Cuiba Alley, beside Xin Laoqi and Fang Wu, and several servants were hiding at the entrance of the alley.
Seventh Xin said in a low voice: "Master, the timing should be just right, even if there is a deviation, we can still slow down one party's speed."
"very good!"
In the darkness, Fang Xing's eyes were vague.
"That concubine really ran away with her lover?"
Fang Wu replied: "Master, Zhao Guozhang snatched that concubine originally, but this time with our secret help, she is of course willing to escape. She must have gone far away from the city by now."
Fang Xing said with a smile: "They are all talents after all!"
Those who are keen on power and power are rarely bad for women.
And Zhao Guozhang and Liu Kui are obviously no exceptions, both of them are evil spirits, otherwise Fang Xing would not have thought of dragging Liu Kui in.
Suddenly a few lights flashed in the distance, and Lao Qi Xin said in a deep voice: "Master, they are here!" (To be continued.)
