high official

Chapter 821
"Then... who should I talk to?" Everyone asked in unison.

"This is the difficult part," Wang Xian said with a wry smile, "This person must have a detached status and have enough weight in the emperor's heart. Originally, my master monk was the most suitable, but he is gone..."

"What about Master Xu?" Shuai Hui asked stupidly.

"Shut up!" Before the words fell to the ground, everyone looked at him blamingly, and Shuai Hui quickly shrank his neck: "Just pretend I didn't say it, pretend I didn't say it..."

"It seems," Yan Qing said softly, "Only the grandson is barely suitable."

"No wonder my lord went to ask my grandson," Shuai Hui was stunned, and sighed after speaking, "But that black servant seems to have made up his mind not to wade into this muddy water."

"Yes," Wang Xian nodded: "The grandson has scruples. On the one hand, he has too close a relationship with me, which doesn't quite meet the first requirement; on the other hand, he doesn't want to offend Zhao Ying."

"It's simple," Erhei said with a smile, "I'm going to sow discord! Guaranteed to make him hate Zhao Ying to death!"

.

In Qianqing Palace, Zhu Zhanji was walking with Zhu Di supported.The weather has been cold and humid for a while, and Zhu Di's rheumatism has not improved. Today is finally sunny, and Emperor Yongle of Ming Dynasty, like an ordinary old man, came out to bask in the sun with the support of his grandson.

"It's a crime!" Zhu Di snorted and said, "Living in the south of the Yangtze River feels like a year, and I'm counting on my fingers when I can return to Beijing."

"It's cold this year, almost," Zhu Zhanji thought about it, and said softly, "The canal will be able to thaw by the end of February."

"I can't wait any longer," Zhu Di felt agitated when he heard that there were still nearly two months left, and said in a deep voice, "Decree that the government in Shandong and Hebei will recruit civilians to dig the canal!"

"This..." Zhu Zhanji said in his heart. The common people were afraid that they would scold him again, but seeing Zhu Di's gloomy face, he wouldn't touch a tiger's butt, so he changed his words and said, "It's also an idea."

"Well," Zhu Di nodded, and said with a sigh of relief, "Open the canal as soon as possible, so we can go back to Beijing."

"The grandson is going too?" Zhu Zhanji was slightly surprised.

"What?" Zhu Di glanced at him and said, "You don't want to go?"

"How is it possible?" Zhu Zhanji said with an unnatural smile: "Why is my grandson willing to leave Grandpa Huang?"

"Hahaha!" Zhu Di laughed loudly, glanced at Zhu Zhanji and said, "I think you are reluctant to part with that girl named Yinling, right?!"

"Ah!" Zhu Zhanji was startled and ashamed when he heard the words, and stammered, "Does the emperor know her?"

"I not only know her, but also know that you are chasing her for nothing," Zhu Di laughed at Zhu Zhanji: "I heard that once, in order to surprise her, you went to someone's yard to make a snowman in the middle of the night. It’s hard for you, where does the snow come from in Nanjing?”

"Hey..." Zhu Zhanji said awkwardly: "How can there be any snow? The grandson used cotton wool, but when the wind blew, hey..."

"Hahaha!" Zhu Di laughed loudly, half joking and half serious: "It's useless, my grandson of Zhu Di, it's her blessing to like which woman she likes, a will is enough, how can she be humble?"

"Grandpa said so." Zhu Zhanji laughed dryly, and the expression on his face became more and more unnatural.

.

Guarding Zhu Di's face, Zhu Zhanji still wanted to pretend to be his good grandson, but as soon as he left the palace, his face was pulled down.

"Master, shall we go back?" Chen Wu didn't know what happened to his grandson, so he bit the bullet and leaned forward.

"Go away!" Zhu Zhanji gave him an angry look, and walked away without getting into the carriage.

Chen Wu and the guards hurriedly followed, and they were relieved when they saw His Royal Highness enter the Jinyiwei Yamen.

In the signing room, Wang Xianzheng was discussing matters with several brothers. Hearing that His Royal Highness Taisun had arrived, he had to put aside the matter at hand and come out to meet Zhu Zhanji.

"What's the matter, who messed with you?" Seeing Zhu Zhanji's expression of being cheated out of eight hundred yuan, Wang Xian asked with a smile, "Come here to report the crime?"

"I really want to report the case, but it's not that someone cheated me of money," Zhu Zhanji said with a dark face, "It's someone who cheated me of my trust and told my grandpa the emperor!"

"What's the matter?" Wang Xian motioned the grandson to sit down and said slowly, Zhu Zhanji then told Wang Xian the conversation at the emperor's grandfather.

"Haha..." Wang Xian couldn't help laughing, and said nonchalantly, "What am I doing, it's just a few homely things, why is it so serious?"

"It's not a trivial matter!" Zhu Zhanji said with a dark face: "It's fine for Grandpa Huang to know about my date with Yinling. After all, there are many people in the capital with mixed eyes, so maybe it will reach his ears somehow. gone."

Wang Xian nodded and listened to Zhu Zhanji.

"However, except for the people close to me, how would outsiders know about the fact that I made a snowman for Yinling?!" Zhu Zhanji said with an increasingly gloomy expression, "It must have been revealed by these people! If one day I If you say something inappropriate, it will definitely reach the ears of Grandpa Huang!"

"Oh, it's true." Wang Xian also became serious, nodded and said, "It's really uncomfortable to have a spy around here." He looked at Zhu Zhanji and said, "Then what are you doing here? Hurry back and investigate thoroughly!"

"I can't find out!" Zhu Zhanji rubbed his face vigorously angrily, and sighed, "How about I hold back my anger like this?"

"Why can't we check?" Wang Xian looked puzzled.

"I'll go back and check, and the spy will definitely report to my grandpa." Zhu Zhanji said with a depressed face: "My grandpa will definitely ask, what does this kid mean? Is there really something shameful, you want to hide it from me?" He said suddenly: "That's what you say if you have a mouth and can't tell!"

"Hmm." Wang Xian nodded and said, "That's indeed the case. Then what should we do?"

"Check it out for me in private, don't startle the snake." Zhu Zhanji whispered to Wang Xiandao: "With Jin Yiwei's ability, this is not difficult to do, right?"

"It's not difficult," Wang Xian said a little bit incredulously: "But I made a rule as soon as I took office, and the Jin Yiwei will not ask about the affairs of the East Palace."

"I asked you to check!" Zhu Zhanji said decisively: "Besides, I only check people around me, and it has nothing to do with my father."

"Then..." Wang Xian nodded with pain in his face, "Okay."

"I'll give you three days!" Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "I'm going to find Yinling."

"I owed you in my previous life..." Wang Xian rolled his eyes.

"Okay, I owe you a favor." Zhu Zhanji smiled and walked away shamelessly.

Looking at his back, the one-eyed Erhei standing behind Wang Xian smiled strangely and said in a low voice: "If the grandson knows that we betrayed him, what will happen!"

"So you have to keep your mouth tight." Wang Xian said lightly.

"How does your lord know that he will definitely ask you to investigate?" Er Hei has never understood this point.Their plan is very simple, that is, someone will deliberately leak information about Taisun to the people in Dongchang.Yidongchang is now in a state of desperation, hunger and thirst, and it is bound to be reported to Emperor Yongle as if it were a treasure.

"Because," Wang Xian said in a low voice without a smile on his face, "His Royal Highness and his grandfather are becoming more and more similar..."

"Suspicious?" Erhei looked at Wang Xian.

Wang Xian nodded slowly, and said softly: "Not only..."

.

Jin Yiwei's efficiency is not overshadowed. Within three days, Wang Xian found Taisun and told him that it was found out.

"What's the situation?" Zhu Zhanji gritted his teeth, looking like he was going to eat the two or five children around him alive.

"Who told me that I cut him alive?!" Zhu Zhanji growled.

"There are people from Dongchang beside you." Wang Xian said indifferently: "To be precise, there are Zhao Ying's apprentices. Now that the master has become the admiral of Dongchang, the apprentices will naturally have to follow the example of dogs."

"Uh..." Hearing the names of Dongchang and Zhao Ying, Zhu Zhanji was like a goose being strangled by the neck, and his anger was suppressed. He didn't even ask who the spy was.He just sighed dejectedly: "Why do they even monitor me..."

"Dongchang has so much power that no one can restrain it. Why don't you want to do it?" Wang Xian said indifferently: "If this goes on for decades, it is possible to monitor the emperor, let alone the grandson."

"..." Wang Xian said the same words many times, but only this time it reached His Highness Grandson's heart.In Zhu Zhanji's view, it will take decades for him, the second heir to the throne, to become emperor.Those Dongchang guys dare to spy on themselves now.If there are no restrictions, I am afraid that it is not impossible to perform the Great Ming version of the Change of Manna in a few decades.

"I know that you are worried about Zhao Ying," Wang Xian said coldly, "The reason is nothing more than that he can whisper bad things about you in the emperor's ear, and the emperor will probably believe it."

Zhu Zhanji nodded, and listened to Wang Xian's words: "But what did you get in exchange for blindly showing favor? He planted spies by your side! Unceremoniously watching you! If you still hold back, I will..." Pause He paused and said, "Anyway, if it's me, I can't bear it."

"..." Zhu Zhanji remained silent with a gloomy face.

"If it were me, I would make a big fuss with him. I am the emperor's grandson, the prince's son, and the great grandson of Ming Dynasty. I am afraid that I will be an old dog!" Muttering, if Zhao Ying is an old dog, then what is I?Youth dog?In short, you can't think about it.

"You don't know how terrible he is," Zhu Zhanji sighed, "Even my second uncle dare not offend him!"

"That's because he was afraid that the old eunuch would help your father and speak ill of him!" Wang Xian said in a deep voice, "Now that the King of Han is gone, King Zhao is also under suspicion. His old eunuch speaks ill of you, and you What's there to be afraid of?"

.

When Wang Xian left Zhu Zhanji's place, Erhei came up to meet him, and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Are you done?"

"Basically." Wang Xian sighed softly, sowing dissension has always been too much.He can only click to the end. As for the effect, he can only wait for the follow-up...

Two days later, Erhei came to report that the grandson had locked himself in the house for two days, and when he went out, he asked someone to prepare a car and wanted to go to the palace to meet the emperor.Wang Xian laughed and said, "It's done."
