Chapter Thirty-Six: Seeking Wealth and Risk
Hao Fenglou observed Zhu Di motionlessly, his heart beating like a deer. It would be too late to show any more. What should I do?
At this moment, someone sneered.
At this time, I suddenly sneered, which was really disharmonious. It happened that there were Qiu Ba here, who specialized in treating all kinds of disharmonies. This shows that this person was really bold and obviously planned to hit the gun.
Zhu Di's face was calm, but he still had no expression. It seemed that he was waiting for someone to jump out.
The minister who made the sound was wearing a big red official robe and smiled coldly: "It's ridiculous, it's a pity!"
Zhu Di looked over and said lightly: "Who are you?"
The man said proudly: "The weak minister Jian Yi."
Jian Yi...
Everyone frowned.
Jian Yi was one of the auxiliary ministers designated by Emperor Taizu and ranked high as the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel. This person was a very influential person. His qualifications did not come from the Minister of Personnel, but from his "reporting the imperial edict and speaking honestly, Taizu liked his sincerity and changed his name to him."
In other words, he was not originally called Jian Yi, but because Emperor Taizu thought he was a honest person, he changed his name to him and praised him very much. He often told people that Jian Yi was a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty and that the one who assisted the Taisun in the future would be this.
This is why Zhu Di's face looked ugly. He was under the banner of Jingnan, to clear the ruling ruthless ministers and kill the treacherous ministers around the emperor. For this reason, he specially drafted a list of treacherous ministers and asked someone to search and punish them. However, Jian Yi was not included in the list. The reason was very simple. You Jingnan was to eliminate treacherous ministers, and to restore the ancestral system according to Taizu's orders. However, Jian Yi was a loyal minister who was personally "delegated" by Taizu. At this time, if you characterize him as a traitor, it would be a big deal to slap his ancestors in the face.
But the problem arises again. What should you do if you don’t cure his sins and let him talk nonsense, and if you say some ruthless or even alarmist words?
If you let him go, others will definitely be inspired. At that time, what should I do if all officials attack him?
Zhu Di's face changed, but at this time, he forced a smile and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Jian. I have heard of Mr. Jian's name for him for a long time."
Jian Yi said righteously: "I dare not!" He did not call himself a humble minister, but called himself an official, and his attitude was obvious.
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't have an attack again.
Some officials who dared not speak seemed to see hope, were inspired, and were a little ready to move.
Jian Yi continued: "Since your highness is in Jingnan, why did you lead troops into the palace? Since you are the pursuing emperor, you should be the treacherous ministers who will kill them, but why did you surround the emperor's residence?"
Zhu Di's old face turned red: "The emperor was killed by a treacherous minister."
He dared not claim that the emperor was not dead yet, so he could only make excuses.
Jian Yidayi said with sternness: "Then you should establish the son of the emperor, and Your Highness can be Huo Guang."
Zhu Di felt embarrassed and said, "The country is the eldest son."
Jian Yi laughed: "The emperor also has a younger brother."
Zhu Di was a little angry, but he couldn't do it again. He was obviously in a dilemma and wanted to cut Jian Yi into several sections and come to Nanjing from Peking from all over the world. Of course, Zhu Di was not here to travel. He no longer had the patience to answer such questions.
Seeing this, the guards in Yanshan became murderous, but no one dared to act rashly without the order of the King of Yan.
At this moment, Hao Fenglou suddenly moved.
Hao Fenglou realized the opportunity, and it would be too late to stop taking action at this time.
Without hesitation, he reached out to the hilt of the knife at the waist of a guard beside him. Just as everyone's attention was on Jian Yi, Hao Fenglou drew his sword, then grabbed Jian Yi's neck and pulled him back. Jian Yi lost his balance and tilted towards Hao Fenglou, and then fell into Hao Fenglou's arms. Hao Fenglou put the knife across and directly held Jian Yi's neck.
“…”
silence……
Then everyone was speechless.
Looking at Hao Fenglou who had "kidnapped" Jian Yi, countless people had strange thoughts. Is this guy... crazy?
People are debating with His Highness King Yan, why are you joining in the fun? If you hurt him a little bit, this person is a loyal minister praised by Emperor Taizu. His Highness King Yan urgently needs the fig leaf of Emperor Taizu, so it would be strange if you don’t kill him. Besides, what’s the use of kidnapping him?
Someone shouted: "Who are you and what do you want to do?"
Hao Fenglou was calm and said, "No one is allowed to go forward, all retreat, otherwise I have to kill Lord Jian first, and then show my ambitions by death!"
The King of Yan's face was gloomy and calm. He waved his hand. The guards who were about to draw the sword had to continue to hold back. They took a few steps, but they were just pairs of murderous eyes, but they were still staring at Hao Fenglou. Several personal guards were already blocking the King of Yan.
Zhu Di said lightly: "Hao Fenglou, what do you want to do?"
Hao Fenglou... Everyone paid attention to Hao Fenglou again, because neither Yanshan Guard nor the officials seemed to have heard of this name. Who is this person, and why does His Highness the King of Yan recognize him?
Hao Fenglou said with a high voice: "Your Highness, King Yan has offended many people, and the students have to do it. I have something to say, but I wonder if Your Highness is willing to listen?"
Zhu Di was about to step forward, and Hao Fenglou immediately became nervous, holding the long blade in his hand tighter, and shouted: "Your Highness, so many soldiers fought bloody battles, and I don't know how many people have become white bones for His Highness. What are they doing? They are doing peace in the world and evil politics can be corrected. As far as I know, in Nanjing, there are righteous men in Nanjing who would rather let Yingtian Mansion to torture severely in order to persuade the King of Gu to surrender, and they would grit their teeth.
He knelt in front of the yamen with dozens of kilograms of heavy shackles, just to force His Highness the King of Gu to make His Highness make His Highness determined. The reason why His Highness was able to arrive in the capital was because of the thousands of righteous men who sacrificed their lives for justice. Now that the son is dead today, the hearts of the world are floating. If His Highness King of Yan does not come out to take charge of the overall situation, then the students dare to ask, what is the people in the world, and how unfortunate are the soldiers who are bleeding?"
“…”
Hao Fenglou continued: "Please ascend the throne immediately to calm everyone's hearts. Otherwise, the students will have to kill Lord Jian!"
“…”
Shocking...
People with simple thinking may be thinking, is this person stupid? Your Highness, King Yan, hopes that you will kill Jian Yi, and you will die, and you will never be able to ask for it.
But those who were more thoughtful all looked nervous.
Wang Wei was speechless, and Zhu Neng was even more speechless.
What are everyone crying and making trouble? Isn’t it just to show off and give the King of Yan a deep impression and make a contribution to persuade him to advance? That’s good. Now, Cheng Yaojin has appeared halfway through the road, shining brightly for a moment, wasted all the hard work of everyone.
This trick is brilliant.
Even the King of Yan's eyes emitted light at this moment.
