Chapter 281 Jing Hong's Attitude To Yu Yi
When Jing Hong ordered Jiang Qingyu, the heir of the King of the North, to be fully responsible for investigating the attack on the imperial guards, and gave the other party the right to kill first and then act later, the two eunuchs Yan Songyu and Hu Chenghe were shocked.

"As expected of His Majesty, this one-handed killing with a knife not only eliminated a group of officials who were sitting on vegetarian meals, but also completely offended and turned against all the officials in the capital."

"Going forward, we only need to wait until the group of literati who rejected the North Prince's son are all killed, and then we can follow the trend to promote the reduction of the feudal clan under the advice of all the officials."

Yan Songyu was filled with admiration in his heart.

Even though he has served Jing Hong for decades, it is not the first time he has seen him strategizing and scheming the world, but when he heard this plan today, his face still cannot hide his admiration!
"This is the emperor!"

"In the whole world, only His Majesty is qualified to rule the country!"

"Jiang Qiushui, Ke Tucha and others, martial arts talents are rare in a hundred years, but they have lost more than one step to His Majesty in terms of temperament and means! They just endured blindly, thinking that they could break the game by being promoted to the stars, but in the eyes of His Majesty, even if It is a star-struck existence that transcends imperial power in the eyes of ordinary people..."

"It's just a chess piece!"

Thinking of this, Yan Songyu said:

"Your Majesty is wise, this old servant will deal with it immediately."

"It's just that the old slave still doesn't know anything."

"That Zhaixing who claims to be Yu Yi's disciple exists, should we send someone to contact him again?"

Regarding the encounter with the masked man in white robe outside the post station, Yan Songyu reported it to Jing Hong as soon as he came back.

Another great eunuch Hu Chenghe frowned slightly and said:

"Your Majesty, this old slave remembered something. About [-] years ago, all the eyeliners we planted in the Jubei Palace were removed overnight, and several contact points in the palace were also wiped out one by one. No one escaped alive. , not even a summoned pigeon escaped!"

"Jiang Qiushui must have done this! Only he has the strength to kill anyone!"

"However, based on the old slave's understanding of Jiang Qiushui, this doesn't seem to be his style of behavior! This man's wife and eldest son are still in the capital as hostages. At this time, he suddenly cut off his eyeliner and broke up with us. Wouldn't it be that he trapped the two with his own hands? Is your loved one in danger?"

Jing Hong nodded slightly:

"I remember that you mentioned this to me not long ago, and I ordered you to investigate with full authority. Now more than half a month has passed, has anything been found?"

Hu Chenghe bowed his head and said:

"At present... there is no substantial progress."

"But the old slave planted a group of eyeliners in the Jubei Palace and the Palace. This time, Jiang Qiushui did not go on a killing spree again. Instead, he reduced his guard against these people and let them inquire about the news in the Palace."

"Obviously, Jiang Qiushui removed his eyeliner that day, not for the purpose of treason, but because of something else!"

Hu Chenghe still remembered that he had persuaded Jing Hong to chop off one hand or a few fingers of Jiang Qingshu and send them to the residence of the Prince of the North as a punishment. The fiefdom of the three states in the north.

But Jinghong said it was meaningless to do so.

For one thing, Jiang Qiushui will not rebel.

Secondly, both he and Crown Prince Jing Yuan appreciated Jiang Qingshu's talent very much, and didn't want to lose this piece of jade because of this incident.

"Do you think the hidden story has something to do with this disciple of Yu Yi?"

Jing Hong held the pen and wrote the word "read" on a memorial.

Hu Chenghe took the memorial with both hands, bowed his head and said:
"Regardless of whether it is related or not, we must beware of Master Yu Yi and Jiang Qiushui coming together!"

"Your Majesty, the old slave actually suggested that you take advantage of the opportunity of Yu Yi's entry into Beijing to get rid of him."

"This person has lived in the Jubei Palace for three years, and he was promoted to Zhaixing after borrowing the Tibetan scriptures in the Palace. He will probably support Jiang Qiushui when he rebels!"

"Originally, a newly-promoted star-seeker wouldn't be able to cause any trouble."

"But Yu Yi's talent in swordsmanship is too terrifying. In just ten years, he has already reached the peak of the mid-term star picking..."

Jing Hong interrupted coldly:
"No, it's the late stage of reaching the stars."

"Uncle Huang went to Jizhou to meet Yu Yi a few days ago, and found that he has made another breakthrough in his realm recently."

"After the emperor came back, he confessed to me frankly that he thought he was no match for him, and maybe Mr. Xun would be worthy of a fight!"

Hearing this news, Hu Chenghe couldn't help but gasped, and at the same time said with a look of astonishment:

"Ten years, from the beginning of reaching the stars to the late stages of reaching the stars... This is faster than many Haoyue Realm and even Fate Star Realm climbing speeds!"

"Your Majesty, then we should kill Yu Yi!"

"This person's talent in swordsmanship is simply unprecedented! Given another few decades, it may not be impossible to reach a higher level and threaten the stability of the imperial power!"

If Yu Yi was promoted to the fifth rank of Xiantian, and then supported the King of the North to rebel, it would undoubtedly be a huge trouble for the royal family!

Plus……

There have been rumors recently that Xing Yi, the pavilion master of the Meteor Pavilion, is retreating to break through the fifth innate level.

Once there are two more fifth-rank statues in the world, then the status of the founding emperor Jing Yang will no longer be above everyone!

Hu Chenghe also heard that Xingyi ordered people to spread everywhere that Jingyang used tens of thousands of Chu people to raise monsters, causing everyone in the world to feel insecure, and many Chu officials became suspicious.

It can be said that the current state of Chu looks like it has just conquered Beidi and added another state, and it is in full swing, but in fact it is already in danger!
Jing Hong nodded:

"That's right, there is already one Xingyi, and one more Yuyi, the ancestor may not be able to bear it."

"but……"

"The attitude towards Yu Yi is decided by the ancestor himself, and I have no right to interfere."

"But I agree with the old ancestor's decision."

"Currently, no matter whether it is the court or the Jianghu, there are more or less gaps between the high-level human race and the royal family. If we don't find an opportunity to mend it, then it is very likely that my Jing family will repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty!"

"More than 100 years ago, the Wu family of the Yue Kingdom was pulled down from the throne because they offended all the stars, and this made my Jing family's century-old dynasty come true!"

"I thought that after the ancestors entered the Dragon Raising Realm, they would be able to sit back and relax and would not follow the old path of the Wu family of the Yue Kingdom, but who would have thought that a monster born from a mutated corpse would be expected to enter the fifth rank of innate, He even joined hands with the Sixth Patriarch of Nanshan Temple to kill Gu Ming, which seriously injured the old ancestor!"

Jing Hong snorted coldly, and threw the pen aside:
"Even if Xing Yi is promoted to the fifth rank, he probably won't be the opponent of the ancestor, but if you add a group of old monsters who have lived for 200 years, then even the ancestor will find it difficult. !"

"Therefore, we must treat Yu Yi with courtesy, and take the opportunity to win over the world to win the stars, so as to ensure that our Jing family will not fall into the hands of others!"

"As for Yu Yi himself, even if his talent is terrifying, if he wants to advance to the fifth rank, at least he will have to practice for another 30 to [-] years!"

"By then, the ancestors had already dealt with Xingyi, so naturally they wouldn't let Yu Yi grow up!"

He paused and said again:

"In comparison, Jiang Qiushui and Jiang Qingyu, father and son, are insignificant."

"I know Jiang Qiushui well, as long as Lu Wan'er and Jiang Qingshu are firmly trapped in the capital, then this person will not turn against him!"

In front of Xing Yi who was expected to advance to the fifth rank of Xiantian and a group of other stars, Jiang Qiushui, who was stagnant at the peak of Yaori, was really nothing.

Even if he has something to hide.

Hu Chenghe smiled slightly:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old slave has arranged three hundred eagle dogs to monitor Lu Wan'er and Jiang Qingshu day and night, and two guards of one thousand people are stationed in the school grounds less than five miles away from their mother and son's residence. You can arrive there, so there is no need to worry about them leaving Beijing secretly."

"What's more, there is that person..."

"Even if they leave Beijing, they cannot escape our surveillance!"

On the side, Yan Songyu frowned.

that one?
Who?
Monitoring Lu Wan'er and Jiang Qingshu was not his responsibility, so he didn't know many of Jing Hong's arrangements, but according to his guess, it was probably one of the top ten eunuchs, or even one of the top six eunuchs!
Even though it seems overkill to let one Sunshine watch over two ordinary people, it is an eventful time now, and the prince and the sword master are entering the capital, plus the death of Gu Ming, that person's vitality has been seriously injured, making the capital a stormy atmosphere. Since it came, it made sense for Yao Ri to monitor and protect Lu Wan'er and Jiang Qingshu.

"correct."

Suddenly, Hu Chenghe glanced at Yan Songyu, and said:

"Your Majesty, this old servant almost forgot that today is the wedding day of Princess Jingli and Mr. Fan Yu, but..."

"The old slave just heard that Princess Jingli doesn't seem to want to get married, and she never forgets the son of the king who rejected the north, so he begged the little eunuch Yan Gao to take her out of the palace secretly, and went to the north gate to wait for the son to enter the capital."

"According to the time, the two of them should have been disguised now, and they will be at the North Gate!"

"Bullshit!"

As soon as this remark came out, Yan Songyu's face became gloomy.

It was his own arrangement for Yan Gao to monitor and protect Jing Li. He originally thought that this adoptive son was extremely talented and reliable in his work. He leaned a little on his resources, but he didn't want such a simple thing to go wrong!
And it became Hu Chenghe's excuse to criticize himself!

Yan Songyu gave Hu Chenghe a cold look.

This person was originally only in the late period of Yaori, ranking second only to the first eunuch Jing Rang and himself among the top ten eunuchs, but after reaching the peak of Yaori not long ago, he has always wanted to take away the second position from himself, so that Occupy more cultivation resources, trying to sprint to reach the stars in your lifetime!
I remember the last time I came back from the northern border, because my arm was cut off by the Emperor Yue, my strength regressed a lot, so this person took the opportunity to propose to take away part of his power in the eagle dog!
Of course, in order not to be so explicit, he used an excuse to increase Prince Jing Yuan's voice in the court.

After all, Hu Chenghe has always been the one in charge of protecting the prince among the top ten eunuchs.

In the future, Crown Prince Jing Yuan will become the emperor, and he will definitely trust and rely on him the most!

But Yan Songyu naturally refused to give way.

He is nearly eighty years old, and his lifespan is not long. If there is no support from the royal family's resources, then he will definitely miss the star in this life!
He was unwilling to live another 20 years!

So whatever you say has to occupy its place!
So, he bowed to Jing Hong and said:
"Your Majesty, the old slave is guilty, and the disciples have nothing to do!"

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment, this old slave will go and bring Yan Gao and Princess Jing Li back to the palace, and skin Yan Gao with his own hands!"

Obviously, for the sake of cultivation resources, Yan Songyu decided to give up his beloved adopted son cruelly.

Unexpectedly, Jing Hong said:

"No need."

"This is what I did on purpose. Without my consent, how can I take Jing Li out of the palace smoothly with only a strict attitude?"

"This……"

Yan Songyu was slightly taken aback, but couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said again:
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what about the marriage?"

At this time, Jing Hong had already annotated the last copy of the memorial, but when Hu Chenghe reached out to take the memorial, he lightly pressed this copy with his hand.

"No more."

He smiled and explained:
"I can see that Fan Yu is also very resistant to this marriage offer."

"resist?"

Yan Songyu didn't understand:

"Princess Jing Li is His Majesty's own daughter, not a righteous daughter. Her status is respected and she is beautiful. Why should he resist?"

Could it be that he is just like himself, not a real man?
"..."

Jing Hong remained silent, just staring at the memorial with complicated eyes, as if he was recalling something from the past.

After a long time, he came back to his senses, sighed softly, and said:
"Maybe it's because I don't like it."

"Not everyone is willing to marry a woman they don't like, even if that woman is beautiful and beautiful, she can bring him endless glory and wealth."

"Fan Yu is a genius with a free and easy personality, and he does things rashly. If he doesn't like Jing Li, he won't marry Jing Li."

"If I force him again and again, not only will I not gain the loyalty of this person, but it will arouse his resentment."

Yan Songyu frowned:
"But if we don't give him a marriage, how can we trust him completely?"

In the past, Jinghong used the method of bestowing marriages to attract talents who had epiphany and innate talent, and it was always beneficial.

For example, Cheng Zhe, Fan Yu's teacher, married Jing Hong's adoptive daughter. The husband and wife were extremely affectionate and envied by others, but they never had a son and a half.

Jing Hong smiled, and said confidently:
"In terms of martial arts talent, I may not be ranked among the top three in the world, but in terms of buying people's hearts, I claim to be number two in the world. Who would dare to admit that I am number one?"

"Fan Yu is a very pure scholar, unlike those literati who have been immersed in officialdom for many years, he has a whole body of pride, and regards glory and wealth as dung!"

"I personally think that he is not suitable for entering the officialdom, but more suitable for concentrating on studying in the academy."

"For this type of person, you have to do what you like in order to gain his trust and favor. If you make him owe a little debt of favor, then you can firmly tie her down."

"In contrast, Jiang Qingshu is quite different. He took the initiative to enter the officialdom, advised Yuan'er, plotted against all the veteran officials in the court, and used some despicable methods... Maybe it is because of this, Fan Yu will be the first to realize the innateness."

Yan Songyu asked curiously:

"Which one does His Majesty prefer?"

Jing Hong shook his head, smiled without saying a word.

At the same time, he threw the pressed memorial to Yan Songyu:

"Xue Mu sent a letter saying that the south is not peaceful. The army was infected with the plague. Within ten days, 3000 people fell ill and more than [-] people died. I hope that we will send the prince of the north to lead troops to support."
