Qing Jialu

In the spring of the third year of Qingjia, a major event happened in the harem.Xiao Mingrui, the legitimate son of the deposed emperor, had a persistent high fever due to an occasional cold.The imperial doctor tried his best to save the child's life, but in the end he couldn't save the child's life.Xiao Mingrui passed away on March [-]th.

It is said that the death of a three-year-old child cannot overcome any big waves.It's a pity that this child has a special status, and his death is very strange.Winter has just passed, and spring is warm and flowers are blooming. Why do you suddenly have a cold?

On March [-]th, a group of Yongwen veterans headed by Wu Gelao asked His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the cause of death.Sitting on the high dragon chair, Xiao Yi couldn't help sneering at their righteous faces.He knew that the conflict that had been buried for three years was finally about to explode.

This gang of Yongwen old ministers did not want to investigate the cause of Xiao Mingrui's death, they concluded that His Majesty the Emperor had murdered the son of Emperor Yongwen, and they were attacking the Emperor.

The battle between the old and the new dignitaries has finally come.

After hearing this, Shen Jia's first reaction was also to feel strange.My colleague Mr. Li stroked his beard in an inscrutable manner, "Isn't it a coincidence, why did he leave suddenly? The imperial doctor's pulse record is vague, and he is using wind and cold to fool people."

"What do you mean?" Shen Jia asked.

Lord Li lowered his voice, and whispered in his ear: "Master Shen, you are a sincere person, so I will tell you straight. I am afraid that the one above couldn't understand his nephew, so he poisoned him to death."

"Impossible." Shen Jia didn't believe that Xiao Yi was such a person. He denied, "Even if it was done by the superiors, it should have been done more covertly. Besides, since Xiao Mingrui died, Wu Shang and others would have an excuse to report to His Majesty Are you in trouble?"

"There is some truth in what you said." Lord Li was a little confused, "But why didn't His Majesty let the Ministry of Punishment conduct a thorough investigation, but instead handed it over to Jin Yiwei? Everyone knows that Jin Yiwei is His Majesty's minion."

Indeed, since Xiao Yi didn't make it, why use Jin Yiwei?Shen Jia stroked her chin, frowning in thought.Xiao Weiming, Xiao Weiming, what exactly do you want to do?

At this time, a man over half a hundred years old, wearing a python suit given by the emperor, wearing a jade belt and an embroidered spring knife, came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation under the leadership of Eunuch Chen.He fixed his eyes on Xiao Yi who was on the throne, knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and cupped his hands, and said, "Commander Jiang Ji of Jin Yiwei, please greet Your Majesty."

Xiao Yi looked at the kneeling man and said with a half-smile, "Your Majesty Jiang is on an errand, it's been hard work. No courtesy, but a seat."

Eunuch Chen had asked someone to prepare a scorpion for the commander to sit down.Then the emperor waved his hand, and Eunuch Chen led all the eunuchs and maids of Yangxin Hall winkingly out of the hall.

The emperor just got up and walked towards Jiang Ji with a smile, "Master, long time no see."

Jiang Ji sat without getting up, looked up at Xiao Yi, "Your Majesty called me back to Beijing, I'm afraid there is something urgent."

"There is a tricky matter." Xiao Yi said, "Master, you have heard, Rui'er has gone."

"Your Majesty wants the minister to investigate this matter?" Jiang Ji asked directly.

"Yes, you take Jin Yiwei with you, from the palace servants who serve Rui'er, the servants, and the nanny, and the people in the imperial dining room who are in charge of Rui'er's diet, to the imperial doctors who see Rui'er, all of them must be strictly investigated. .”

"It seems that His Majesty did not do it." Jiang Ji actually made it clear.

Xiao Yi was almost laughed out of anger, "Master thinks of me like that?"

"I don't think His Majesty is such a careless person. This kind of method is too obvious." Jiang Ji smiled, "Since he is not His Majesty, he is probably His Majesty's good brother."

Xiao Yi glanced at Jiang Ji coldly, "So, master, please investigate secretly. No matter what you find, the results of the investigation must not be known to the courtiers."

"I understand." Jiang Ji got up, "If there is nothing else, I will leave."

Xiao Yi looked at Jiang Ji with his hands behind his back, "It seems that the master doesn't want to catch up with me at all."

Jiang Ji sneered in his heart, he still had self-knowledge.If it wasn't for the secret of the royal family, how could the emperor call him back to Beijing.Talking about the old days is just a temptation.There is nothing to talk about between them.

"You are the emperor now, what else is there to worry about?" Jiang Ji swore to His Majesty, "Jin Yiwei will always be loyal to the imperial power."

Looking at the back of Jiang Ji leaving, Xiao Yi found that his back was slightly bent after not seeing him for a long time.Time is indeed a sharpening knife.

The relationship between Jiang Ji and Xiao Yi is not like a normal monarch and courtiers, nor a master and apprentice.Before them, it was actually the relationship between the monitor and the monitored.

Xiao Yi's grandfather, Emperor Hongwu, sent Jiang Ji, who was still a captain of Jinyiwei at that time, to Xiao Yi's side very early on.Not only Xiao Yi, but every prince and grandson has Jinyiwei spies sent by his grandfather.

At that time, Xiao Yi didn't know the existence of Jiang Ji.It wasn't until he was rescued by Jiang Ji when he was in danger when he was serving in the army in the northwest that he learned that there were monitors around him.

Xiao Yi thought about killing Jiang Ji and releasing himself from surveillance.But Jiang Ji's martial arts are so strong that he cannot beat him as a teenager.Jiang Ji dodged his stab in the back, and said coldly to Xiao Yi, don't waste your efforts in vain.Even if he died, Emperor Hongwu would send other Jin Yiwei to watch over him.

He couldn't fight him, so he worshiped him as his teacher.Jiang Ji looked at the emperor's grandson in astonishment, shook his head and said, "Jin Yiwei will always be loyal to the imperial power."

"I know." Xiao Yi was not afraid of tigers when he was a young boy, and he insisted on challenging the imperial power. "I just want to ask you for martial arts. Isn't Captain Jiang not willing?"

Jiang Ji finally agreed, and Xiao Yi slowly pulled him away from his grandfather and into his camp.In the end, at the time of the rebellion, Jiang Ji used Jin Yiwei's information to help Xiao Yi a lot.

Now Jiang Ji is the leader of Jinyiwei, and Xiao Yi is the emperor.Although Xiao Yi didn't like Jiang Ji, he gave him power and superficial favor.Jiang Ji also knows that His Majesty is dissatisfied with him today, so he always leaves Beijing for business affairs and does not live in Beijing for a long time.
