The Ming Dynasty started with caution

"Is there a spy from Tang and Song in the court?"

The retired emperor Hongzhi's eyes tightened, and his thoughtful expression was full of doubt, as if he didn't believe his ears.

The gentlemen were still immersed in surprise and doubt, with a little solemnity on their faces.

"This person knows a lot of court affairs, and I think he has a high status in the court."

Hong Yuan glanced at the retired emperor Hongzhi, and then lowered his head slightly.

Yan Chengjin glanced at Zhu Houzhao, and saw that his body was stiff.

He knew that it was this guy who sent the message.

The next moment, Zhu Houzhao was a little angry.

The first time he sent a message to the fool, he was discovered. How did Lao Gao usually send messages to the fool?

Being caught by the court was a small matter, and delaying his business was a big deal.

He taught Wang Shouren how to fight the Turks, but he was caught before he reached Tang and Song. These three people are really good-for-nothings, not as good as my Liu Daban at all.

Delayed military affairs!

"Father and I hate spies the most. How did you find out? Do you have any evidence?"

The saint said it well, correct mistakes as soon as you know them.

"The goose-feather knife is worn by officials and guards in the court. I intercepted one."

On the official road between Tang and Song and Annan Provincial Administration Commissioner, he saw three warriors in rough clothes, but they were wearing the goose-feather knives of the palace guards, unlike ordinary people.

There are many bandits in the southwest, and there are also guards in the accompanying carriage. I want to stop them and ask them.

But the three people were shocked, first they moved their knives, and then they grabbed them.

"Does the emperor want to present it?"

Hong Yu cast an inquiring look at the emperor Hongzhi, who nodded in understanding, and then the eunuch walked in with a knife.

It is really the goose-feather knife in the palace.

The next moment, Zhu Houzhao turned his head as if nothing had happened and looked at Jiang Mian, "Master Jiang, did you send someone there?"

"New Emperor, don't talk nonsense!"

Jiang Mian's neck turned red with anger. This was a crime of treason and would also be a disgrace to his reputation.

"Master Cui?"

"Why did I send someone to Tang and Song?"

Cui Yan wanted to slap Zhu Houzhao to death. This matter was absolutely not a joke, but this guy mentioned his name, and all the officials looked over.

Yan Chengjin looked sideways at the goose-feather knife.

The knife was intercepted, and the person should have been arrested. Hong Yuan was obviously a calculating person. He dared to conclude that it was a high-ranking official in the court, and there must be other evidence.

But he didn't say it in the court, only showing a goose-feather knife.

I don't know how much evidence Hong Yuan has, nor what Zhu Houzhao wrote to Wang Shouren.

He couldn't speak rashly.

If the emperor and the officials knew that Wang Shouren was in Tang and Song, it would be a bit troublesome.

Liu Yu, the Minister of Justice, stood up and said, "How can we determine that this person holds a high position in the palace just by looking at a goose-feather knife?"

The gentlemen nodded. Although goose-feather knives are worn by court officials.

But the gentry in the streets like to imitate and secretly cast some to show off, especially in places like Annan, which are beyond the control of the court.

Hong Yuan pondered for a moment and couldn't help saying, "Emperor, why don't you... withdraw from the court first?"

Yan Chengjin's heart moved slightly. Sure enough, there was other evidence. He wanted to meet the emperor privately.

…

Eastern Palace,

"Lao Gao, I sent a letter to the fool, but was caught by Hong Yuan. Why don't you impeach that bastard and let him retire! I'm so angry."

It would take at least three months to send a letter to Tang and Song.

It was so hard to get halfway, but it was wasted like this.

More importantly, the letter was written by him after thinking hard and reading many military books for several days and nights, and he pinned his hopes on defeating the Turks.

How can the fool defeat the Turks without his strategy?

It's hard to write the same thing again.

"???" Yan Chengjin.

When I was a spy, I wanted to arrest others. It's really cool to be an emperor.

"Isn't it that I'm exposing my identity if I write a letter at this time? Why didn't the new emperor tell me when he wrote the letter and what he wrote?"

Zhu Houzhao smiled casually and his complacent voice sounded.

"It's a strategy to deal with the Turks. I read the Six Strategies and found a strategy to deal with the Turks. The military strategy of the fool is always not as good as mine."

After saying that, he smiled complacently again.

"..." Yan Chengjin.

If you say that you are 50-50 with Wang Shouren, I will reluctantly believe it.

"I'm afraid that Lord Hong has intercepted the secret letter."

"What are you afraid of? Anyway, I won't be suspected of treason. It's impossible that I am a traitor, right? Even if my father finds out, I will be beaten up. I won't implicate you."

Zhu Houzhao looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. Instead, he picked up the bold pen and wrote another letter immediately.

Yan Chengjin glanced at him. Is this guy going to commit a crime against the wind?

…

Fengtian Hall,

Xiao Jing clearly felt that the atmosphere in the hall was a bit depressing. For a long time, no one spoke.

"If I tell you, please don't blame the emperor."

"I don't blame you, just say it."

"I suspect that the person who wrote to Tang Song is the new emperor."

Dong!

The sound of the plaque falling to the ground sounded.

Dong! Dongdongdong!

The plaques in the hands of Li Dongyang and Jiang Mian fell from their hands one after another in shock, suppressing the shock in their hearts.

How could it be the new emperor?

He is the dignified emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

The emperor Hongzhi wanted to open his mouth several times, but found that he couldn't speak.

Hong Yuan raised his eyes slightly and looked at the horrified eyes of the gentlemen. When he deduced this result, he didn't believe it at all.

"Did Hong Qing's family catch the person coming?"

The emperor Hongzhi believed it inexplicably. What can't this rebellious son do?

"Originally, one person was captured, but three days later, two people came back to save him. All three of them were highly skilled in martial arts, and they all escaped."

"Then how can the Hong Qing family dare to assert that?"

"Your Majesty, let's see. If there is no evidence, I dare not make random identifications."

Hong Yuan took out a letter from his sleeve. The Emperor's expression was solemn and he couldn't believe it. It was hard to tell whose handwriting it belonged to.

But the whole article has the flavor of an imperial edict.

As the emperor, he looked down upon the world. As time went by, he naturally did not know how to use humble and humble words.

Moreover, the armament and location of the three-sided and northwest guard posts were discussed.

Ordinary officials have no idea where the border guard station is, let alone the military preparations.

All I have to do is sign the letter, I am Zhu Houzhao.

"What do you masters think?"

"Uh, cough, cough... cough..."

Li Dongyang took the lead and coughed a few times. Although he didn't answer, he obviously thought that he was the new emperor.

"I think we should invite the new emperor to ask."

After Jiang Mian finished saying this, the other people nodded, obviously thinking the same thing.

…

East Palace,

Zhu Houzhao was still writing the second letter, but Yan Chengjin did not stop him. When he was out of the palace, he would write the third letter.

Outside the hall, there was a rush of footsteps.

Zhu Houzhao calmly put away his pen.

"Sir, the Supreme Emperor and the princes have summoned you to Fengtian Palace and asked you to go there immediately." The gate supervisor of Fengtian Palace said.

"What do you want me to do? Tell Father that I have nothing to do."

The little eunuch said with a stiff smile: "S-I said you are a craftsman and I want you to ask..."

He was almost scared to death, but he saw Zhu Houzhao turning a deaf ear.

A moment later, Zhu Houzhao appeared in Fengtian Hall, looking at everyone as if nothing happened.

"This letter was written by you!"

"It was written by my son."

At this moment, all the princes just felt like the world was spinning, and their minds went blank.
