I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 587
After leaving Liu Gang's place, Li Tian did not go directly back to the bedroom to rest, but came to the imperial study room again.

At this time, Dongchang Changgong Huang Yan was already waiting for him here.

As soon as Li Tian came out, Huang Yan knelt on one knee and said,
"After Fanzi's investigation, Your Majesty has found out that the person who intercepted and killed Governor Zhou Chen is very likely to be a member of the former Nanzhen Fusi!"

"How can I see that!"

Huang Yan shook his hands and took out a detailed investigation report from his sleeve.

On it was the inspection report of the wounds on the dead guards and Zhou Chen's servants by the people of Dongchang.

According to the analysis of the people in Dongchang, whether it was the way these people died or the stab wounds and arrow wounds on their bodies, there were very obvious traces.

They were [-]% sure that it was the people from Nanzhen Fusi who did it.

Hearing this, Li Tian frowned slightly.

He agreed to Liu Gang's words to use these people again, but at this moment he heard that they were actually used to assassinate the court officials.

He couldn't help sneering,

"These guys really have milk and mothers. As long as they can afford it, they can commit suicide!"

Huang Yan didn't quite understand what Li Tian was referring to, and thought he was blaming himself for not doing things well.

Hastily knelt down and said,
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The old slave has ordered people to follow this clue to investigate. I believe news will come soon."

Li Tian snorted coldly and said,

"Hmph, there are nearly 1 Jinyiwei who have been abolished by Nanzhen Fusi. It is not easy to find a mere dozen of them from the 1 people!"

Huang Yan actually knew that even if the perpetrator was confirmed, he would not be able to find the perpetrator in a short time.

Hearing what Li Tian said, he had no way to argue, so he could only bow his head and say,

"Your Majesty's lesson is that the old servant has failed His Majesty's trust and is willing to be punished!"

Li Tian waved his hand helplessly and said,

"Forget it, I can't blame you for this matter, you don't have to worry about investigating the murderer for the time being, I ordered someone to investigate.

Your top priority now is to protect Zhou Chen's safety and help him gain a firm foothold in Nanjing. "

"Even if I don't tell you, you should know that their assassination of Zhou Chen is just the beginning, and they will never stop until they achieve their goal!

Their eagerness to jump over the wall also shows that my move has hit their sore spot, and they have no choice but to take a risk.

So at present, ensuring Zhou Chen's safety is more important than anything else, can you understand this! "

Huang Yan repeatedly nodded and said,
"Your Majesty's lesson is that this old servant will arrange more manpower to protect Master Zhou's safety!"

But Li Tian finally shook his head,
"At this time, Zhou Chen already has more than 20 Jinyiwei guards around him, and I also gave him the right to deploy troops. In terms of manpower, it is already enough.

What I am worried about is their safety after they reach the border of Nanjing.

After all, it is impossible for the guards to protect him twelve hours a day.

And Nanjing is the territory of those nobles. I am worried that they will do anything to kill Zhou Chen in order not to be caught. If this is the case, no matter how many people are sent to protect him, it will not be enough. "

Huang Yan didn't recruit anymore. The scope of activities of the East Factory was limited to the capital, and their total number was only 300. If they were to go to Nanjing to protect people, not only were they not enough in number, but they would also be beyond their reach in terms of distance.

Just when he was worried, Li Tian continued,

"That's why I plan to appoint you as Nanjing's garrison eunuch to take over Nanjing's defense tasks. With your assistance, I believe that the safety of Zhou Chen, the governor, will be greatly guaranteed."

Huang Yan was stunned at this moment. The eunuchs defending Nanjing sounded like they were indeed much more powerful than the Duke of Dongchang. His subordinates were in charge of more than [-] troops.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that although the garrison is one of the highest officials of the Nanjing army in name, in fact the rights are divided very seriously by those nobles, and there is not much real power at all.

With his current status as the Duke of Dongchang, that is the same as the sky and the earth.

This is almost equivalent to demoting him in disguise.

He immediately knelt down and said to Li Tian with a bitter face,

"But Your Majesty, if this old slave goes to Nanjing, what should I do in this huge East Factory!"

Li Tian is also quite troubled by this matter, there are only so many people around him who can be used.

In Nanjing, a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, it would be difficult to arrange for someone who could truly be trusted by him.

Although Huang Yan was not very quick in handling things, he was still loyal to himself, and he was quite easy to order around him. If he really went to Nanjing, he might not be used to it.

In fact, according to the original history, the most suitable person to coordinate things in Nanjing at this time should be Zheng He.

With his ability and qualifications, he is much more suitable than Huang Yan.

And with him sitting in Nanjing, Li Tian can relax more than half of his heart. Based on the few nobles in Nanjing, it is estimated that there will be no trouble in Zheng He's hands.

But at this time Zheng He was not only in charge of six or seven battalions in the capital, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the new army was also under his command, and he was also responsible for the construction of the Western Fleet and steam ships.

He really couldn't get away.

Apart from Zheng He, I am afraid that there are only two big managers left, Jiang Bao and Wang Fu.

But the two of them not only have to help themselves take care of various businesses in the capital, but they also have the duties of the horse supervisor and the supervisor of the Yinsui supervisor, so they can't get away from it.

After thinking about it, Li Tian always felt that Huang Yan, who is not very capable of handling affairs, is the most suitable owner of Dongchang.

But no matter how useless Dongchang is, it is still indispensable. Dongchang lost Huang Yan, and I am afraid that the ability to handle affairs will be even worse in the future.

What's more, now that we are at a critical moment, Li Tian also has some disgraceful things that need to be done by people from Dongchang. If he doesn't have a trustworthy person to help him look after Dongchang, it won't work.

Seeing Li Tian hesitated, Huang Yan rolled his eyes and immediately suggested,
"Actually, Your Majesty, there is another person who is more suitable to go to Nanjing than this old slave!"

Li Tian said suspiciously,

"Who, if you can really recommend a suitable candidate, I will let you go..."

Huang Yan hesitated for a moment, then said,
"This person is He Lin He Da, the chief inspector of the horse inspector of the late emperor!"

Hearing this name suddenly, Li Tian was a little dazed for a while, and couldn't remember who this person was.

"Who is this He Lin? Why haven't I heard of this person?"

Huang Yan tidied up his clothes, moved a little closer and said,

"Your Majesty does not know, this He Lin was an old man who entered the palace with Director Zheng Da to serve the late Emperor."

"In the 18th year of Yongle, there was a banditry in Shandong. Chief He Lin recommended An Yuanhou as the chief officer. Unexpectedly, An Yuanhou not only failed to defeat the rebels, but also lost his life.

The first emperor was furious at that time, and even Director He was also implicated, and was sent to the Jingong Prison to provide for the elderly! "
