"I see."

After hearing Liu Ye's report, Zhu Hejian turned his head to look at Jia Lun with a smile, and Jia Lun was expressionless and his eyes were gloomy.

Of course, Zhu Hejian would not believe Liu Ye's one-sided words, but Liu Ye's statement is indeed reasonable to explain many things, such as why Li Ruan chose to write at that time, why he was extremely nervous after Jia Lun saw the flaws, and why he was reluctant to let Jia Lun read what he wrote......

Therefore, Zhu Hejian's suspicion of Li Ruan in his heart has been slightly alleviated - but only a little.

Zhu Hejian still can't rule out the possibility that all these explanations are aimed at blinding himself.

But in any case, Liu Ye's plan has been considered a success, just like Liu Ye speculated, what Zhu Hejian is worried about is not what Li Ruan wants to do, but only Li Ruan's uncertainty.

In fact, the most terrifying thing about the so-called word "suspicion" is not the word "suspicion", but the word "guess"!

The so-called "guessing" is to think wildly, that is, to scare yourself.

Take Zhu Hejian's suspicion of Li Ru'an as an example, because he is not sure whether Li Ru'an is secretly contacting other forces, and he can't find any real evidence, he can only guess and infer things in the worst possible direction, but human imagination is endless, so the more Zhu Hejian guesses, the more jealous he will be, and the more jealous he is, the more afraid he will be, and in the end he will inevitably completely lose his calm and patience, and use all means to snuff out all the bad things that may happen, and then it will be useless for Li Ruan to defend himself. Because Zhu Hejian's mind was already full of the terrible situation he had guessed at that time, he couldn't listen to anything anymore.

Therefore, Liu Ye took the initiative to perform a "whistleblower", so that Zhu Hejian could clearly see what Li Ruan was plotting, even if Zhu Hejian did not believe it all, it could effectively limit Zhu Hejian's imagination, so that things would not develop to the point that Zhu Hejian could no longer tolerate Li Ruan.

Moreover, Zhu Hejian really doesn't mind his followers competing with each other, and is even happy to see it.

As for the situation that Li Ruan may be reckless and out of control in the future, as long as he can put an eyeliner next to Li Ruan, it can be solved, and Liu Ye in front of him is also a suitable person.

In fact, Liu Ye also speculated that things would develop to this point, so he sent himself to Zhu Hejian.

With this whistleblower performance, Zhu Hejian will most likely let Liu Ye secretly spy on Li Ru'an, and then he will ride Zhu Hejian's line and smoothly enter the door of the Seventh Prince!

*

Just as Liu Ye had envisioned, after Zhu Hejian withdrew his gaze from Jia Lun, he turned his attention to Liu Ye, because Liu Ye's performance had successfully aroused his interest.

Then, Zhu Hejian shook his head lightly and said, "I see that since you entered this room, you have always called yourself 'Weichen', and I saw that you were talking about the key point, so I didn't correct it in time...... But you have to remember that I am not the crown prince at the moment, and once your self-claim spreads, it will inevitably cause a trouble, and I may not have anything to do at that time, but you will inevitably be questioned by the court. ”

Liu Ye hurriedly promised: "In the eyes of Wei and Xiaguan, Your Highness, you have already been the prince of the dynasty who is half a monarch and half a minister, and for a while you have thought and spoke, you have lost the rules, and I hope Your Highness will forgive me!" Moreover, regarding today's conversation, the lower official must have been silent and would never dare to mention it to others. ”

"You are very good and loyal, you took the initiative to inform me of these news, obviously a person who understands current affairs and knows how to advance and retreat, and I see that you speak in a clear manner, with a calm attitude, and good observation, which is a rare talent...... Why did a talent like you fall to Tianshui City to be a private school a few years ago? ”

Hearing Zhu Hejian's inquiry, Liu Ye smiled bitterly: "Xiaguan's road to the imperial examination has always been stumbling, and he has repeatedly lost his fame to Sun Shan. ”

Liu Ye's words are sincere, he has always been ambitious, and he thinks that he should not be an unknown person, but he has never found an opportunity.

Now, the opportunity has come.

Zhu Hejian also shook his head and sighed, and said: "This road to the imperial examination, although it provides many good talents for the imperial court, but it also blocks many talented but not skilled talents outside the door.

Since I met you today, I naturally won't let you stumble any further...... You're now the Jiupin Supervisor of Yuanma Temple, and you're in charge of those grooms on weekdays, right? This is almost the lowest level of my official position, with your ability and mind, it is really overkill, I can't let you continue to be wronged, in a few days I will say hello to Lord Qingqu of Yuanma Temple, let him focus on promoting you, and when your official rank is a little higher, I will also find an opportunity to transfer you to a more important position, which can be regarded as a reward for your loyalty today. ”

Zhu Hejian only promised Liu Ye benefits, but did not make it clear that Liu Ye would continue to monitor Li Ruan for him, because Zhu Hejian had already seen that Liu Ye was a smart person, and he didn't have to take the initiative to mention it himself, he would naturally know what he should do in the future.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhu Hejian's promise, Liu Ye immediately took the initiative to reassure: "Thank you for Your Highness's promotion and attention, Your Highness will definitely do your best to do things for Your Highness in the future, once Li Ru'an has new news, it will definitely be reported to Your Highness in time!" ”

Zhu Hejian nodded with satisfaction, and then didn't say anything more, according to Zhu Hejian's thoughts, this conversation was over, and Liu Ye should also take the initiative to leave.

However, after seeing that Zhu Hejian no longer spoke, Liu Ye did not take the initiative to say goodbye, but hesitated, as if he still had something to say.

Seeing Liu Ye like this, Zhu Hejian felt a little impatient in his heart, and his tone was a little colder, and asked, "What else do you have to do?" ”

Liu Ye hesitated for a moment, but he put on a determined look, and reported again: "Xiaguan has one more thing, I want to ask His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince for help." ”

It seemed that he also knew that his approach was a bit of an inch, Liu Ye's expression was a little flustered, and he quickly continued: "Your Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, you also know that in the original civil rebellion in Tianshui City, Xia Guan was coerced by the chaos and became the leader of the chaos people, but after Xia Guan became the leader of the chaos people, he did not burn and loot everywhere like several other chaos people, but restrained the behavior of his subordinates, took the initiative to protect the people of Tianshui City, and maintained order in the sphere of influence, and then waited until Manager Li rushed to Tianshui City to quell the chaos. Xiaguan also helped Manager Li exterminate several other groups of rebels and restore the pacification of Tianshui City, so the imperial court later pardoned the crimes of Xiaguan and the group of rebels under Xiaguan, and Xiaguan was even canonized as an official by the imperial court, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise......"

Seeing that Liu Ye was just saying something inconsequential, Zhu Hejian couldn't help but become more and more impatient, and frowned: "So what? ”

Liu Ye continued: "However, although the lower officials became court officials because of a blessing in disguise, but the group of chaotic people who followed the lower officials at the beginning are now mostly poor and unhappy, although they were pardoned by the imperial court for their crimes, but after all, they had personally participated in the civil rebellion, and when they assisted the government to exterminate several other chaotic forces, most of them killed people with their own hands, so they were quite suspicious of the officials of Tianshui City, and they were not accepted by the merchants and squires of Tianshui City. If you want to work long hours to support your family, you can't do it......"

Speaking of this, Liu Ye's expression was full of sadness and grief.

However, these words aroused Zhu Hejian's interest again, making him quickly restrain the impatience in his heart and ask, "Have these people come to the capital to seek refuge in you?" ”

Liu Ye nodded with a bitter face, and said: "That's right, they can't survive in Tianshui City, and they heard that Xiaguan has become a court official, so they rushed to the capital to take refuge in me, and now there are thirty-seven people, I am afraid that there will be more and more in the future, I want Xiaguan to help them find a way to live, but Xiaguan is just a nine-grade official, and it's okay to occasionally get an errand for one or two people, but where can I help so many people?" But they were under the full support of Tianshui City at the beginning, and the officials couldn't abandon them at will, so they were quite embarrassed in their hearts...... Xia Guan also asked Manager Li for help, but unfortunately Manager Li never took this matter to heart, and Xia Guan was forced to be helpless, and now he has to be cheeky to ask His Highness for help! ”

Hearing Liu Ye's words, Zhu Hejian couldn't help but be thoughtful.

Zhu Hejian once secretly cultivated a secret organization called "Mocking Wind".

According to legend, the dragon had nine sons, but none of these nine sons were dragons, and "Mocking Wind" was the third son of the dragon, who was dangerous and hopeful, which was very similar to Zhu Hejian's experience, Zhu Hejian's bloodline as the Deqing Emperor did not have the qualifications to inherit the throne, so he had to be far-sighted and risky in order to realize his ambitions.

Inside the "mocking wind" are not only businessmen who are responsible for making money, but also dead soldiers who are responsible for doing dirty work, and some eyeliner who are responsible for collecting news, although the scale is not large, but it is also fully functional.

However, just half a year ago, Zhu Hejian suddenly found some signs, it seemed that someone had noticed the existence of "mocking wind" and was secretly investigating.

At that time, it was the critical period for Zhu Hejian to ascend to the throne, Zhu Hejian could never tolerate the existence of "mocking wind" being discovered, plus Zhu Hejian wanted to completely wash his foundation before ascending to the throne and erase all the evidence of his past crimes, and "mocking wind" had done too many shady things for him, and he also knew too many secrets, it was easy to expose Zhu Hejian's ambitions, so Zhu Hejian took the opportunity to make a decision and personally destroyed the "mocking wind". Secretly killed all the relevant officials.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Hejian is certainly very powerful in the temple at present, and the "new princeling" he formed has been able to compete with the "Zhou Party" and "Zhao Party", but after all, the "new princeling" is only a collection of interests of court officials, and it can only play a role in the temple, so Zhu Hejian lacks an opposition force of his own in his hands, and he can continue to do some dirty work and wet work for him.

It's a pity that when Zhu Hejian wanted to reorganize the "mocking wind", he had already begun to gradually move to the front of the stage and received much attention.

In this way, Zhu Hejian often feels inconvenient when he does things.

But now, Liu Ye's words have made Zhu Hejian find an opportunity.

A group of destitute people who are not accepted by society, which means that they can easily be bought for their own use......

Most of these people have the experience of fighting the enemy with swords in hand, which means that they are all people with bold personalities......

Being able to rush all the way from Tianshui City to the capital means that they are all physically strong......

All of them are from Tianshui City, and Tianshui City is thousands of miles away from the capital, and it has just experienced a great chaos, and even the official residence has been burned a lot, which means that it is difficult for the imperial court to investigate their backgrounds......

These people are all former rebels, and if they do something shady and are found to be traceable, it is easy to confuse the direction of the imperial court's investigation, and then buy time to eliminate the evidence......

The most important thing is that these people are ready to use, and there is no need for Zhu Hejian to temporarily look for suitable candidates everywhere, and they will not be discovered.

If Zhu Hejian wants to reorganize the "mocking wind", this group of people is simply the best person to tailor.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hejian smiled slightly, and said to Liu Ye: "You have some kindness, of course I will help you, I will help you arrange a livelihood for these people!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

As he spoke, Liu Ye's expression was quite calm, but he was already ecstatic in his heart, he knew that he had made the right bet again, Zhu He Nut Ran wanted to secretly cultivate a force that only belonged to him, and he was currently short of manpower, and he also needed this group of men from the chaotic people!

Liu Ye didn't know about the "mocking wind", he just felt that how could a big man like Zhu Hejian not secretly raise dead soldiers?

In this way, he also achieved the biggest purpose of this trip, and successfully invested in Zhu Hejian's disciples, after he found a group of dead soldiers for Zhu Hejian, he is likely to become Zhu Hejian's henchmen, and from now on he will inevitably be on the rise, and the future is immeasurable!
