Chapter 446 Chen Yuntai’s Choice

Besides, Zhu Jinghong left Muniyuan, and he took Hou Jing and his party to continue playing.

Finally they walked around to Shanglin Garden, where the eunuchs from the imperial kitchen were already waiting, preparing food and drink for them.

Everyone toasted and drank together, chatting about some interesting things from the past, which made the atmosphere more harmonious.

After the meal, everyone dispersed, and Zhu Jinghong also returned to the palace at this time.

As soon as he got off his horse, a eunuch reported to him that there was a royal guard from hundreds of households who wanted to see him, and he was waiting in the ear room.

At this time, Zhu Jinghong remembered that he called Chen Yuntai over to give instructions.

Taking off the sword from his waist and handing it to the eunuch, Zhu Jinghong ordered another eunuch, "Let him come to see me"

"Yes"

Zhu Jinghong arrived Sitting quietly in Cunxin Hall, Chen Yuntai walked in after a while and saluted Zhu Jinghong with great respect.

At this time, he was still dressed as a commoner. It was obvious that he came to the palace to wait for him as soon as possible. Two or three hours had passed by now.

"Have you had lunch?" Zhu Jinghong asked proactively.

"Go back to the prince, I have already used it in the prince's palace. The food sent by the father-in-law in the palace"

After signaling the eunuch in the palace to go out, Zhu Jinghong asked, "Over there in the Muni Courtyard, is it "What's going on?"

I knew Zhu Jinghong was going to ask, so Chen Yuntai introduced it in detail.

The White Lotus Sect has the deepest "achievements" among the thousands of households in Nancheng. They have mastered many clues. By chance, a line that Chen Yuntai dug deeply intersected with Miaoyu's line.

So the moment master and apprentice Miaoyu arrived in Beijing to meet, the two of them were actually exposed.

"So her master is really dead"

"He died of illness. The night before the body was cremated, I personally went to check it out," Chen Yuntai said firmly.

"Do you still remember what I said this morning?"

"Remember, the prince said that you should put a long line to catch big fish," Chen Yuntai replied.

"So you don't have to report this matter to the police," Zhu Jinghong said calmly.

"Yes"

Chen Yuntai replied calmly. He was not surprised by the result. At this moment, he was struggling with another matter.

"It's been a hard trip. I went to the house to pay two hundred taels of silver and went back to buy wine for my subordinates."

Although this was a courtesy, it also told Chen Yuntai what he should do. Gone.

However, Chen Yuntai was not willing to leave directly. Objectively speaking, it was not easy to meet Zhu Jinghong. For him, this was an opportunity.

It may be possible to get promoted for meritorious service, but it is too slow for Chen Yuntai, and it is very possible that he may not even be promoted for meritorious service.

If you want to walk fast and steadily, the best way is to hug your thighs, and Zhu Jinghong undoubtedly has very thick thighs.

Zhang Qian, who is currently one of the commanders of the Northern Division, was promoted to his current position quickly because of his relationship with Prince Rui. He, Chen YunTai can definitely become the next Zhang Qian.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuntai made a decision in his heart.

When Zhu Jinghong was about to get up and prepare to leave, he heard Chen Yuntai say, "Your Majesty, there are still some situations that I don't know whether to talk about or not."

"Just say what you have to say." Zhu Jinghong calmly said replied.

"Those nuns in Muni Yuan are now in contact with the Jia family and seem to want to cling to them."

Although Zhu Jinghong was not familiar with the Red Mansion, he also knew that Miaoyu had entered the Grand View Garden. , it is not surprising that she is now in contact with the Jia family.

What puzzled him was the purpose of Miaoyu's contact with the Jia family.

However, the next moment, Chen Yuntai continued, "And I suddenly remembered that the people from the Qianhu Office in Xicheng also I have already set my sights on the nun named Miaoyu."

"Didn't you say that no one found her except you?" Zhu Jinghong looked sulky.

Seeing that Zhu Jinghong wanted to question him, Chen Yuntai immediately knelt down and said, "I came out of Muni Yuan today and met a few people on the road. I didn't take it seriously at the time."

"Come back Later, when I thought about it, I found that their behavior was abnormal. After thinking about it carefully, I remembered that those people were from the Qianhu Office in Xicheng."

Chen Yuntai's words meant that he had just discovered this situation. Zhu Jinghong It’s not easy to ask too many questions.

When he was thinking about how to deal with the Thousand Households in Xicheng, he heard Chen Yuntai continue to say, "Looking at their whereabouts, I am afraid they will find this place earlier than I and others."

Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong finally understood that Chen Yuntai's Si is not simply stating the facts, but wants to say something.

"So this is abnormal" Zhu Jinghong replied. At this moment, he was not impatient and waited for Chen Yuntai to continue.

"It is precisely the person who is leading the team today. I remember that he is Zhang Wanan, a member of the Qianhu Office in Xicheng. As far as I know, he is the commander and the confidant of Zhang Qian."

Zhu Jinghong also knew that Zhang Qian was a confidant of his good brother.

The people of Lao Liu discovered that the White Lotus Sect had not caught him and were suspected of allowing him to contact the Jia family, and the Jia family was the prince's in-law family, so things were very serious.

The White Lotus Sect is the number one rebel, and is the target of more than a dozen emperors of this dynasty to eliminate them. If it is reported that the prince colludes with the rebels, the prince's reputation will be really bad.

For Zhu Jinghong, there is indeed an opportunity here that he can take advantage of. Perhaps it is not impossible to take the opportunity to bring down his two brothers.

Of course, in order to take advantage of this matter, he must first deal with the person in front of him.

With calm eyes, Zhu Jinghong said slowly, "So what do you think we should do about this matter?"

In Chen Yuntai's view, there are two ways to deal with this matter, either to help the prince clarify it Muniyuan is a rebel, or he is helping King Rui to frame the prince.

No matter which one you choose, you will gain favors for Zhu Jing.There are benefits to Hongdu.

Chen Yuntai himself prefers the latter, because the prince is already the prince, so helping him is actually the icing on the cake.

As for helping Prince Rui become the crown prince or even the emperor, it would be like giving someone timely help, and the benefits would be huge.

"I think we can wait and see what happens and make a decision based on the actual situation," Chen Yuntai replied extremely cautiously.

The so-called wait and see changes is actually letting the sixth man design the prince, and it will be too late to make a decision by then.

Zhu Jinghong did not comment, but stared coldly at Chen Yuntai who was kneeling in front of the case.

Originally, Chen Yuntai was still complacent, but Zhu Jinghong's cold gaze made him feel cold all over, and he immediately kowtowed.

He suddenly realized that the Thirteenth Master and Prince Rui were brothers, so how could he let the two brothers fight to the death?

The bad idea I came up with was not to alienate the blood relatives of the Tian family, which was a serious crime against the clan.

Chen Yuntai, Chen Yuntai, you claim to be prudent, are you asking for your own death today?

"You should report this matter to Nanqianhu Office and Beizhen Fusi. It's up to your superior to decide how to deal with it, why should I make the decision?"

Yes, why? You can't say that you are trying to flatter yourself. At this moment, Chen Yuntai tried hard to think of reasons for himself.

Since you have decided to join the Thirteenth Master, it is better to go all the way to the dark side. Anyway, now that there is no way out, Chen Yuntai has made up his mind again.

And at this moment, Chen Yuntai also realized that this might be Zhu Jinghong testing himself.

After all, if this man really loved his brother and had killed himself with a knife earlier because of his temper, why would he ask these unimportant matters.

After thinking about this, Chen Yuntai raised his head and said solemnly, "Your Majesty is very kind to me. From Jinling to the capital, I have been promoted by your Majesty many times. I am grateful for your kindness with all my heart."

"This is a big matter, and the prince is involved. In order to let the prince escape unscathed, I must first report it to the prince."

What Chen Yuntai said is actually true. Makes sense.

Zhu Jinghong entered the Muni Courtyard and obstructed the Jinyi Guards from investigating the case. This situation will soon reach the ears of King Rui, so he is indeed involved.

After Chen Yuntai's explanation, he has fully expressed his intention. Next, it depends on how Zhu Jinghong handles it.

"Can I believe you?" Zhu Jinghong asked again.

"I am an ant that the prince can destroy with just a raise of his hand. How dare I deceive the prince?"

Every word of kindness is fake, so Chen Yuntai pointed out the key situations, so that he can Make Zhu Jinghong really feel at ease.

As he said, he is just an insignificant person. Zhu Jinghong can kill him with just one word, so he cannot and dare not betray.

"Then follow your wishes and wait and see what happens," Zhu Jinghong said calmly.

"Yes"

"Muniyuan, you should send someone to watch, and at the same time keep an eye on those in the Qianhu Institute in XichengYou, please report all situations to me only.”

Hearing this, Chen Yuntai could finally be sure that he was already King Xiang’s man.

At the same time, he had to sigh. , Sure enough, the Tianjia brotherhood is all fake. In order to maximize his own interests, the Thirteenth Master chose to let Prince Rui frame the prince.

This is also the best interest for Chen Yuntai. Choice, he would also have a share of the credit when Prince Rui became emperor in the future.

When Chen Yuntai felt at ease, he never thought that Zhu Jinghong was not helping Lao Liu harm the prince at all, but wanted to take advantage of the opportunity. Destroy these two people.

Whether it is the prince colluding with the rebels, or Prince Rui using the rebels to frame the prince, it will be enough to make these two people irrecoverable.

"So what do you do? Explain to your subordinates that I have interfered with your investigation. You must understand that I don’t know these people are traitors.”

Chen Yuntai may be able to trust him for the time being, but there are so many Jin Yiwei involved today. There must be an explanation if we continue to investigate.

"I don't dare to talk nonsense." In fact, Chen Yuntai already has an idea.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. I believe you." , you should believe that I am the one."

"The woman named Miaoyu in Muniyuan is beautiful. The prince only interfered because of her beauty and didn't know anything about the rest," Chen Yuntai said with fear.

In response, Zhu Jinghong nodded and said, "Anyway, you go down and make the arrangements. No one else should know about our affairs."

"I understand."

Hearing this question, Chen Yuntai immediately became excited, so he replied, "It was the hundred households that the prince mentioned last spring."

Zhu Jinghong said with a smile, "I think based on your ability, you can be a member of a thousand households or even command the general affairs. A hundred households is really too humiliating."

"The prince has really promoted me, sir. It’s already difficult to make a household of 100 households with such a low level of ability. Now I just want to ensure that the prince’s important mission is not missed, so I feel that I am very lucky.”

“Hahaha, that’s well said”

"That's it for today. I'll go to the palace later to collect the five hundred taels of silver. Just say it's the tea money I gave and ask them to take care of it."

"I understand, I'm resigning." Chen Yuntai said again He saluted and left the hall.

Watching Chen Yuntai leave, Zhu Jinghong was already thinking about how to counterattack if Chen Yuntai betrayed him.

But he smiled after thinking about it for a moment. Because this matter is indeed too easy.

As long as a person of his level does not lose the emperor's trust, no one can bring him down unless someone of the same level takes action.

If Chen Yuntai betrays him, it may cause him trouble, but Zhu Jinghong can easily kill him.

"I hope you don't seek death," Zhu Jinghong murmured in a low voice. .

As for Chen Yuntai, he received five hundred taels of silver before leaving the palace, and when he returned home, he summoned a total of twenty-three people.

,The ordinary school captain received ten taels, the two small flag officers received twenty taels each, and the chief flag officer received thirty taels.

"Everyone, although that woman is a traitor to the White Lotus Sect, she was attracted by the prince after all, and he will raise his hand to her in the future."

"Now I accept the prince's "Yinzi, if we don't know what to do and take the person away, I'm afraid that we have done something in vain, and you all understand the seriousness of it"

It is both tempting and threatening, so everyone will no longer be entangled in this matter. , after all, the reward for getting one more female rebel is not as large as the reward given by His Highness Prince Xiang at once.

Seeing that everyone understood the truth, Chen Yuntai invited them to a restaurant for a meal before letting them go home with their money.

There are two more important things for Chen Yuntai when it comes to cooking. One is to send people to continue to keep an eye on Miaoyu, and the other is to keep an eye on the people at Qianhu Station in Xicheng.

The first thing is easy to say, but the second thing has to be done by someone trustworthy. How to arrange Chen Yuntai must be carefully considered.

Of course this matter is not urgent, he can also plan it slowly.

In the afternoon, King Rui Zhu Jingyuan returned to the mansion. It seemed that he was in a good mood.

In the courtyard of Tongxin Hall of the Royal Palace, Chen Zhi, who was holding a cat and basking in the sun, saw him and couldn't help but said, "It's rare to see you so happy."

"This is natural. Of the six people I recommended to work in Jinling, four old men have agreed to take up actual positions."

"You didn't say you were lucky if you could arrange one or two, why are there so many of them?"

" p>

Sitting opposite Chen Zhi, Zhu Jingyuan said, "As for Zhao Yushan, he wanted to replace him. It seems that the old man still can't trust him, so he allowed us to mix some sand in it."

" "We" Chen Zhi grasped the key.

Zhu Jingyuan replied, "The fourth man also arranged for two people, one of whom is still responsible for the inspection of Si Qian"

"The governor of Jinling is not all his people, now he is asked to Arrange manpower." Chen Zhi was very puzzled.

"Liang Qian will resign within this month and return to the Inspectorate to be his deputy governor."

According to the current system, officials such as governors are not permanent and only serve in Directors are temporarily appointed when necessary, and when the matter is over, they are dismissed and returned to their original posts.

“I think Zhao Yushan’s intention is to have Zheng Xianlin be given the title of Vice Minister, and then serve as Chief Envoy and concurrently as the Governor.”

“If we really want to accomplish this in Jinling, We still need to establish a governor," Zhu Jingyuan said with emotion.

"It seems that Mr. Zhao Ge has great trust in the chief envoy," Chen Zhi said with a smile.

Picking up the teacup, Zhu Jingyuan took a sip and said, "It's not about trust, it's about Zheng Xianlin, He Gujin, who offended everyone last year, and now they can only follow Zhao Yushan."

"So that's it. I remember that these two people offended you, but I didn't expect that their officialdom got bigger and bigger." Chen Zhi suddenly remembered what happened two years ago.

"There are huge waves in Jinling, and I can no longer take action at will."

The two of them chatted for a while.A eunuch came to report that he should report something to Qiu.

So Zhu Jingyuan went to Cunxin Hall and listened to Ying Qiu's account of what happened outside the west gate today.

"Old Thirteen entered Muniyuan and drove away the people from Nanqianhusuo." Zhu Jingyuan was very surprised.

Just as Chen Yuntai discovered the people in Qianhu Station in Xicheng, they also discovered Chen Yuntai when he showed up.

"Why did he get involved?"

"The Thirteenth Master took people on an outing and went in when they met Muni Yuan. It must have been an accident," Ying Qiu replied.

However, the next move was the key to Zhu Jingyuan's defeat of the prince, so he had no choice but to be careless.

So he ordered, "Find out what happened, whether you went there randomly or deliberately, and then check the reaction of Nancheng Qianhu Office, don't let them ruin the plan."

"The Thirteenth Master has already taken care of the Nancheng Qianhu Office. I don't think they will investigate further."

"You didn't mean that he went there inadvertently, so why did he obstruct the Nancheng Qianhu Office from investigating the case?" Zhu Jingyuan asked rhetorically.

"I asked secretly in Xicheng. It is said that the Thirteenth Master has fallen in love with a nun from Muniyuan, so the people from the Qianhu Office in Nancheng do not need to investigate further."

Zhu Jingyuan He nodded and then asked, "Have Zhang Wanan and those people been discovered by Nancheng Qianhu?"

Ying Qiu replied, "Probably not. There is very little contact between Nancheng and Xicheng, and Zhang Wanan has only returned recently." "Jing"

Zhu Jingyuan finally felt at ease, and after asking Ying Qiu a few more questions, he waved him off.

Although Zhu Jinghong was involved because of lust, he was colluding with the rebels after all. Taking the opportunity for the prince to fight with him was a good thing for Zhu Jingyuan to kill two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jingyuan felt better.
