Chapter 149 Test each other
Zhu Ming nodded with his hands behind his back, went straight to the stone bench and sat down.

His expression was haughty, fully embodying the imposing manner and dignity that a vassal king should have.

After all, in this feudal era of imperial power, the whole world belongs to the Zhu family.

And these courtiers all belong to the Zhu family.

Even if it is a high-ranking Duke, his life belongs to Daming.

If the emperor wants to bestow death, he has to respectfully kneel down and thank him!

During these years of Lao Zhu's reign, he has exerted the dignity of the imperial power to the extreme!
And these vassal kings have received Lao Zhu's ideological education on imperial power since childhood, and they are naturally superior to the ministers from the bottom of their hearts.

Even in the face of the Duke, he was at best superficially polite.

The purpose is just to win the relationship.

But in the bottom of my heart, I still have a sense of superiority!
It's just that they need to be used now, so they will be polite and not even put on airs.

But once you have the greatest power, the situation is different.

The current Emperor Zhu is the best example.

Those old brothers who fought with him back then have been killed too much!
Even Li Shanchang, who used to be a gentleman and respected very much, was killed too?

No one who can sit in a high position is a fool.

Everyone is very clear in their hearts!

In fact, each of them is also pretending to be stupid, but compared with Zhu Ming's complete release, these ministers are selectively pretending to be stupid.

When it's time to be silly, even if the knife rest is on the neck, it's invisible.

But if you get shrewd, even the usefulness of a mosquito on the wall can be calculated clearly!

Zhang Kangnian is well aware of this, and he also knows that he should bow his head when facing a vassal king.

Not to mention facing a recognized fool lord!
If the other party is annoyed by saying the wrong thing, the loss outweighs the gain.

If the vassal king has no airs at all, it will make him feel uneasy.

There was a bit of arrogance in this kind of politeness now, but it made him feel at ease.

What's more, he had already made up his mind, and today he came to pretend to be confused.

Whatever the King of Han wants, give him!
Even if he wanted to snatch all the salt tax, he would offer it with both hands.

At worst, send a memorial to the capital backhandedly, and let the emperor at best!
As long as it doesn't delay the next time to pay the salt tax, it's fine.

With the temper of the old Emperor Zhu, if he knew that someone dared to steal the money from the court, even his own son would not give him face!

The lightest punishment is to get banned!

What Zhang Kangnian has to do now is to cooperate.

Even if you are angry, if you turn around and submit a memorial, you will be out of anger!
"Just be arrogant, the more arrogant you are now, the more miserable the ending will be in the future~!"

Zhang Kangnian lowered his head, a schadenfreude smile flashed in his eyes.

He heard the voice of sitting down.

A warm smile immediately appeared on his face.

First, I respectfully saluted and thanked him, and then I sat down slowly.

The fifth watch waited on the side and replaced the tea on the table.

For a moment, no one present spoke first.

Zhang Kangnian put his hands on his lap, and his eyes stayed on the action of making tea.

It's like studying carefully like a student.

I have made up my mind to keep the same in response to all changes, as long as the other party doesn't ask, I will resolutely not speak first.

In order not to make too many mistakes, it would be bad if that sentence angered the other party.

Let's deal with it in a proper manner!

He has no confidence that he can escape from the knife like Geng Bingwen.

The news that the King of Han led his guards to raid Duoyan Mountain has already spread to everyone.

Even the imperial court rewarded him as a Marquis.

This combat strength is not comparable to that of the King of Qin.

And he doesn't have the force like Geng Bingwen.

Therefore, once he made a move, he might not have a chance to leave the palace alive!

Gollum~
Zhang Kangnian swallowed his saliva lightly to relieve the tension in his heart.

After all, after entering the tiger's den and going to a Hongmen banquet, how could he not be nervous?

moment
Zhu Ming picked up his teacup and took a sip, then gave the middle-aged man next to him another high-level look.

It really is an old fox!
Seeing this, Yang Shiqi took the lead and said, "What happened yesterday has caused Mr. Zhang trouble!"

Zhang Kangnian hastily waved his hands and said: "The long history is serious, it is the eyes of Minister Weng's son-in-law who have offended His Highness the King of Han, and he really deserves to die!

That is to say, they are already dead, otherwise the subordinate officials will bring them to justice!

They must be reported to the imperial court for beheading, and use their heads to apologize to His Highness! "

Yang Shiqi looked calm, and said with a smile: "Master Zhang enforces the law impartially, I admire you!"

A simple sentence is considered a response.

Zhang Kangnian had a warm smile on his surface, but he was already scolding his mother in his heart.

"I have long heard that Shi Yang Shiqi, the head of the palace, is extremely intelligent and does everything without leaking water!
Seeing it now, it really lives up to its reputation!

My temptation was resolved in an understatement!

Is Chen Limu who was taken away dead or alive? "

For him, Chen Limu's life and death are extremely important.

Wang Dushi, who was in charge of delivering the silver, was dead.

If Chen Limu, who made money, is also killed, there will be no proof of his affairs.

At least in the future, if someone really reports him, he will have countless ways to deal with it!

Anyway, there is no proof of death, there are many ways!

Although there is still the risk of being questioned, the chances of being exonerated are always much greater than having witnesses.

At that time, get more fake news and muddy the water. When it is hard to tell the truth from the fake, it will be a chance to get rid of the crime.

After all, as long as the imperial power is not involved, even the corruption of ink must be based on evidence.

Otherwise, if you make a false accusation, you will be beheaded, and there will be no one in the court!

It's just that Chen Limu's life and death are unknown now, which makes him feel very uncertain.

but
A faint response came from the side, giving him the answer he wanted most.

Zhu Ming said lightly: "This person is imprisoned in the prison of the palace. He eats and drinks well every day. He is healed when he is sick. It is not a problem to live another ten or eight years!

In addition, there are a thousand guards guarding it, even if it has wings, it is difficult to fly! "

The implication is that this person will not die within a few years, even if someone wants to save him!

Zhang Kangnian asked cautiously: "Then what does His Royal Highness the King of Han plan to do with this person? Is he going to report to the imperial court and escort him to Beijing?"

At this moment, his heart was in his throat.

Once Chen Limu is sent to the emperor, he will be considered an official.

With Emperor Zhu's temper, even if he is not beheaded, if there is no evidence and someone is scapegoating, he may have to sue him and return home in advance!
Ju Ming leaned back slightly, but did not reply.

Instead, he looked across and asked, "Chang Shi, what do you think?"

Yang Shiqi hurriedly put down his teacup, after thinking for a while.

Respectfully said: "This subordinate thinks that although this person has confessed everything...!"

While speaking, he also looked at the opposite side meaningfully.

Continue to say: "So, we can try again, maybe we can dig out more secrets!"

Zhang Kangnian's heart was terrified by this look, and his heart trembled inexplicably!
