Father can be an enemy to the country

The furnishings in the main hall of Jinyiwei remain the same, and there is no slight change compared to when Zhu Zhen was there. On the high-hanging plaque, the four characters "loyalty to the king and protection of the country" were originally written by his fourth brother...

After hearing the news, Mao Xiang walked in quickly and saw His Royal Highness King Chu with his legs on the big case, leaning on the back of the chair, his hands behind his head, as if he was just looking for trouble.

He hurriedly said with an apologetic smile: "Oh, why did the magpies in the backyard keep chirping this morning? It turns out that the prince is thinking of us old brothers."

"Don't do this." Zhu Zhen sneered: "If you really treat me as a brother, you won't stop communicating with me at all!"

"Oh, where did the prince start talking about this?" Mao Xiang immediately called out to Chongtian Qu and said, "Why do you dare to hide something from the prince in your humble position?"

"You dare to hide so many things!" Zhu Zhen slapped the table, sat up straight and said, "I ask you, how could you not have discovered those people who came to Beijing to take the exam and had so many little tricks in private?"

"Oh, this is what the prince said..." Mao Xiang immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, Prince Qi, is personally responsible for this matter. He can't get involved in his humble position, so he doesn't know anything."

With a bang, Zhu Zhen slapped the case hard, stared at Mao Xiang coldly and said: "You are dishonest again! Don't forget who built Jinyiwei?! How good is the old man? He is responsible for the things he is personally responsible for. Does it require your people to do something different? Can I hide it from you? "

"Yes, yes, without the prince, there would be no royal guards," Mao Xiang nodded hurriedly, and said sarcastically: "Didn't our Taoist practices all come from the teachings of His Royal Highnesses, King Xehe Jin and King Yan?"

"So you still plan to keep hiding this from me?" Zhu Zhen looked at him expressionlessly.

"Don't dare..." Mao Xiang saw murderous intent in the eyes of the Sixth Prince and knew that he was truly angry, so he immediately gave up. It was precisely because he knew so much that he understood how terrifying this prince was...

After a while, Tan Wang Zhu Zi also hurried back and walked into the main hall with a smile on his face.

"Sixth brother, what's the matter? I can't help but ask my brother to come over? Do you have to come to the door in person?"

"I just happened to be passing by, so I came in to see you and the original group of brothers." Zhu Zhen still maintained his original sitting posture, flipping through a book in his hand, and said with a smile: "Old eight, six Brother, let me ask you again, before the general examination, was there any change in the exam candidates?"

"No, not really..." Zhu Zi smiled guiltily.

"Huh? You can think it through before you talk!" Zhu Zhen stared at him coldly and said.

"Oh, remember, I can't remember clearly..." Zhu Zi suddenly felt a fear of being targeted by a tiger, and quickly wiped away his sweat and said, "I have to check the records at that time before I can answer Brother Six..."

"Go check it now!" Zhu Zhen said in a louder voice.

"Sixth brother, isn't it difficult for you to do this to your younger brother?" Zhu Zi smiled bitterly and said: "You have also been in charge of Jin Yiwei, how could you not know that all the information that Jin Yiwei has heard is confidential and cannot be disclosed to anyone without the order of the emperor. "

"Stop doing this!" Zhu Zhen sneered, sat up straight and said: "There are so many rules in the world, how many of them are strictly enforced?!"

As he said that, he threw the book in his hand at Lao Bamiang's door and said, "I really love you in vain!"

Lao Ba was caught off guard. The bridge of his nose was so painful that he almost shed tears. But he ignored his nose and hurriedly took the familiar book with both hands. When he opened it, he saw that it was the daily intelligence summary of the Jinyiwei spies a few days before the imperial examination.

He immediately looked at Mao Xiang, who was standing next to Lao Liu, as if he wanted to eat someone.

Mao Xiang had a wry smile on his face, as if he was saying that he had nothing to do. How could His Highness, King Chu, hide the things he really wanted to know from him?

"Stop blowing your beard and staring." Zhu Zhen looked at the old man with a disappointed face and said: "I tell you, I consulted with my elder brother before I came here, and he has authorized me to access all Jinyiwei's files!"

"Really?" Lao Ba asked with a pale face.

"So what if it's fake?!" Zhu Zhen sneered and said, "I'm going to send someone to find Big Brother now. Do you think he won't authorize me?"

"I will definitely authorize it..." Lao Ba shook his head sadly. He knew too well the importance of Brother Six in his heart. As long as Sixth Brother opens his mouth, the eldest brother will never refute his face.

"So, you idiot, you are worse than Mao Xiang! At least he understands this truth and doesn't have to humiliate himself." Zhu Zhen slammed the table and said:

"Tell me, where are the torn pages in this book?!"

"No, I don't know..." Lao Ba was sweating on his forehead and shook his head with a pale face.

"Don't I know if you don't tell me? I set the rules of Jinyiwei!" Zhu Zhen said coldly: "The secret agent in charge that day will fill out the report form and submit it. Even if you destroy the report form together, as long as you Call those spies and ask them carefully face to face, and you can still find out what secrets you are hiding?!"

As he spoke, he looked at Lao Ba with cold eyes and said: "If you have the ability, you can also silence the spies. That just means you have hidden a huge secret! I can still arrest the surveillance target for interrogation, and you can't hide it at all. of!"

"Brother Six..." How could an inexperienced young man like Lao Ba do things so cleanly? He didn't even silence the spy, and was completely panicked when he heard this. He knelt down in front of Lao Liu and said with fear on his face:

"Brother Six, I'm sorry for you. It was Brother Seven who didn't let me meddle in this business..."

"You actually listened to Lao Qi..." Zhu Zhen looked at Lao Ba even more disappointedly and said, "I have treated you as a brother since I was a child, and I care about you with all my heart. I didn't expect that you still don't have a sibling in your heart. Look. Being born from a father is not as good as being born from a mother."

"Brother Six, that's not the case! In my heart, you are much closer than that bitch Lao Qi!" Lao Ba burst into tears and shook his head desperately: "It's just that he has something to do with me, so I have to listen. his……"

"What's the handle?!" Zhu Zhen asked in a deep voice.

"I really can't say it. If I say it, I'll be dead..." Lao Ba was already frightened into a pool of snot, but he still didn't dare to let go.

"What could make the prince die?" Zhu Zhen raised his eyebrows and looked up and down at the tearful Lao Ba.

"Really. Even if you kill me, I can't say..." Lao Ba refused to let go. The fear on his face was definitely not fake. It was obvious that Lao Qi had really caught his sore leg.

"You are so disappointing..." Zhu Zhen did not ask any more questions, but the look in Lao Ba's eyes was already indifferent.

He turned to Mao Xiang and said, "I want to take over Jinyiwei temporarily. Do you want to wait until my elder brother's authorization arrives, or do you listen to me now?"

"Of course, I will listen to the prince now." Mao Xiang is not as ignorant as Lao Ba. Before he became the commander of the Imperial Guard, he had worked in the Imperial Guard's Mansion for more than ten years, and he knew the weight of this heavyweight prince very well. .

Let's put it this way, the emperor listens to the prince, and the prince listens to the sixth prince. Therefore, the scope of authority of the Crown Prince is the scope of authority of the Sixth Prince...

The power of the crown prince, the executive deputy emperor, is almost unlimited. It is absolutely no problem for Lao Liu to at least temporarily take over the Jinyiwei, and he will never refute his face.

So Mao Xiang obediently ordered the spies to be summoned back to the Yamen for questioning by the Sixth Prince.

Those spies naturally knew everything and reported the information concealed by Lao Ba to His Highness the King of Chu.
