Zhu Hongyi heard that there was a second letter, so he hurriedly took it from Wang Xian's hand and watched it in detail.

The cover of the letter is written "Wuchang County Wang Taijian", and the following inscription is written "Jingzhou Shanren Dong Yuan", seeing the name Dong Yuan, Zhu Hongyi knows who wrote this letter, it turned out to be Tong Yangjia's old thing.

Dong Yuan was originally obtained by Tong Yangjia, and he and his nephew Tong Tuchang hid in Wuchang to avoid trouble, and at the same time they were unwilling to sink like this. So Tong Yangjia contacted a local rebel army and wanted to go north to vote for Li Zicheng, but he didn't think that he was killed by Zhu Hongsan by mistake, and Tong Yangjia's uncle and nephew were also caught by Zhu Hongsan. Under Zhu Hongsan's coercion and temptation, Tong Yangjia had no choice but to join Zhu Hongsan's small group and become his advisor.

At that time, Zhu Hongyi was by Zhu Hongsan's side, so he naturally knew the pseudonym of Tong Yangjia. Now when I see this name, I can't help but smile slightly, "I didn't expect Old Man Tong to be so careful!" ”

Wang Xian didn't know how depressed Tong Yangjia was back then, but he saw Zhu Hongyi's face getting heavier and heavier after opening the letter. After a long time, Zhu Hongyi stood up and lit Tong Yangjia's two letter letters, then turned back to Wang Xian and said, "Okay, you go back, I promise you to save Qian Lide!" When Wang Xian heard that Zhu Hongyi agreed to make a move, he was happy in his heart, and quickly retreated.

Seeing Wang Xian retreat, Zhu Hongyi sighed in his heart, Tong Yangjia is really the same as His Majesty the Emperor said, he is really a wise and profound person, and all the benefits are taken by him.

It turns out that what Tong Yangjia said in the letter is very simple, Zhu Hongyi, you have entered the battle for succession, do you still want to step on two boats? Now that the King of Qin is ready to come out to compete for the crown prince, and your son Zhu Bao has offended the King of Qin, this is not something that you can calm down by stepping on two boats, it is better for you and me to join forces and eradicate him together while King Qin's power is not bigger.

Tong Yangjia's abacus is very fine, King Qin is Ma Jiyuan's grandson, and Ma Jiyuan is the boss of the Ma family, he has long been dissatisfied with his second brother Ma Mingyuan, Ma Mingyuan prevented Ma Jiyuan from entering the cabinet for his own interests. Although Ma Jiyuan did not explicitly support King Qin's struggle for the crown prince, some of his subordinates thought so. Half of the civil officials of the Huguang faction under Zhu Hongsan came from the Ma family, and the Ma family was a vast scholar clan in Hu, so when the war in the north was in turmoil, many intellectuals came to Guangdong and attached themselves to the Ma family.

Although Ma Mingyuan, the second eldest of the Ma family, has a higher reputation and is still the first in the second class in Chongzhen's ten years, Ma Mingyuan's middle school time is still short, and he has just entered the officialdom in the same year. But Ma Jiyuan is different, Ma Boss is a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, and there have been many big celebrities in this subject, and the current Prime Minister Fu Wenlong is the same year as Ma Jiyuan, and some other classmates, such as Zhang Guowei, Ni Yuanlu, Hu Chengmo, Wang Duo and others, are all governors and governors in various places. Therefore, in the officialdom, Ma Jiyuan's influence is still higher than that of Ma Mingyuan, the first vice prime minister.

If Ma Jiyuan made it clear that the chariot and horse wanted to support the king of Qin, he would immediately divide half of the prince's power, so Tong Yangjia grasped the key point of Zhu Hongyi, if he really considered the prince, he must cooperate with himself to get rid of the king of Qin before the king of Qin became bigger, so as to avoid the division of the Ma family.

Zhu Hongyi looked at the candle flame and was silent, and sighed in his heart that Tong Yangjia was very calculating, no matter what the result was, he Tong Yangjia was the final winner. If he helps him get rid of King Qin, he will greatly hurt the vitality of the Ma family, and make the crown prince and the imperial concubine turn against each other. If he doesn't help him, King Qin will inevitably divide the power of the Ma family, so that the Ma family will be divided, and he Tong Yangjia will be able to profit more from it, no matter what, in the end, it will be he Tong Yangjia who takes advantage.

Zhu Hongyi stood for a long time, and he didn't think of a good solution, it seems that he can only temporarily unite with Tong Yangjia.

After thinking clearly, Zhu Hongyi put on his clothes, walked out of his tent to see Zhu Hongsan, and said good things for Qian Lide.

Zhu Hongsan's pro-army guards are divided into two kinds, one is the Jinyi Guards wearing bright yellow flying fish suits, these people are different from ordinary Jinyi Guards, they are not under the command of Qian Lide, the commander, but directly under the jurisdiction of Zhu Hongyi, the Minister of the Guard. They were also dressed differently from ordinary brocade guards, and instead of wearing black uniforms, they wore bright yellow flying fish suits given by the emperor.

In addition to these brocade guards with embroidered spring knives, Zhu Hongsan's guards also have the Praetorian Guard Division with muskets, these people are veterans transferred from various field units, and they can go out to serve as company and platoon grassroots officers after serving in the Praetorian Guard Division for one year, so these guys are extremely loyal to Zhu Hongsan, of course, these people must also be under Zhu Hongyi's command.

Zhu Hongyi came to the door of the big tent, and the Jinyi guard guarding the door didn't dare to slack off when he saw his direct boss coming, and bowed down one by one.

"Is Your Majesty awake?" Zhu Hongsan drank a little too much just now, and he fell asleep when he came back, but now more than an hour has passed, and he should be almost awake.

"Lord Hui, Your Majesty has just woken up and is talking to Gonggong Cao inside!"

I didn't expect Cao Fang to come back, didn't he go to interrogate Qian Lide? Is there a result over there?

Zhu Hongyi waved his hand to let Jinyiwei go back to stand guard, and he came to Zhu Hong's third tent and shouted loudly: "Minister Zhu Hongyi asks for an audience!" ”

After a while, a little eunuch came out and said, "Your Majesty, please let the prince in!" ”

Zhu Hongyi entered the big tent and saw Zhu Hongsan sitting crookedly on the bed, and Cao Fang kneeling on the ground crying bitterly. It turned out that Cao Fang had just been given the name by Zhu Hongsan just now, and he was thanking here, and Zhu Hongyi came in before he had time to report on Qian Lide.

Zhu Hongsan saw Zhu Hongyi come in, and asked in a harmonious voice, "Big brother is here, is there anything wrong?" ”

Zhu Hongyi knew that Zhu Hongsan didn't like people to go around in circles with him, so he said directly: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that Qian Lide was arrested by Dongchang, and the minister wants to ask why?" ”

"It turned out to be this matter, but I didn't expect this little thing to alarm the eldest brother, Cao Fang, no, Li Chengen, tell me how Qian Lide's case is going now?"

Li Chengen knew that it was not good when he saw Zhu Hongyi enter the house, and he had a hunch that Zhu Hongyi would not come to see the emperor in the middle of the night for no reason. When Zhu Hongyi opened his mouth, he knew that Qian Lide had escaped today. Needless to say, Zhu Hongyi's weight in the emperor's heart is needless to say, but in the past, Zhu Hongyi always had a look of rejection thousands of miles away, and I don't know why he came to intercede for Qian Lide today.

Li Chengen heard the emperor ask about Qian Lide's case, he didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly replied: "Emperor, the minister was ordered to interrogate Qian Lide, but was interrupted by Jinyi Wei Tongzhi Wang Xian, Wang Tongzhi thought that the emperor had a will not to punish officials above the fourth rank on the grounds that he had a will, and he had to have the exclusive will that he could be punished, so the old slave came back to ask for a decree!" ”

Zhu Hongsan heard that Jinyiwei dared to stop Dongchang's case, and said angrily: "Nonsense, is this Wang Xian taking himself too seriously?" Lee Seung-eun, you go and pass the decree. ”

Zhu Hongsan didn't finish speaking, Zhu Hongyi hurriedly stepped forward, Wang Xian was his student, if he didn't hear it, it would be fine, and now he is in front of him and doesn't speak anymore.

"Your Majesty, Wang Xian's recklessness is also to rescue Shangguan, Your Majesty will punish him for the sake of rescuing Princess Yuyang!"

Zhu Hongsan originally wanted to cut Wang Xian to the people, but after hearing Zhu Hongyi say this, he thought that Wang Xian had saved his baby daughter after all, and he was seriously injured in many places, Zhu Hongsan also personally saw the wound, a knife wound was in the abdomen, and a little more serious was a big disembowelment.

Zhu Hongsan also changed his mind, it is really not good for people to cut their jobs for the people as soon as they saved your daughter.

"Okay, for the sake of the eldest brother's face, Li Chengen, you go and pass the decree, Wang Xianguan will be demoted by one level, and the flying fish suit given by the emperor will be recovered, and tell him that there will be a severe punishment next time!"

Li Chengen found that Zhu Hongyi was still strong, and with a slight sentence, Wang Xian was only demoted to a first-level official, and it seems that he should not offend Zhu Hongyi. But Qian Lide's side can't do it, he has already offended Qian Lide, if he doesn't take advantage of this time to kill him, there will be endless trouble!

"Emperor, can Lord Qian be tortured over there? Please make a decree from the emperor, and the old slave will go on an errand! Li Chengen was afraid that Zhu Hongsan would be persuaded by Zhu Hongyi, so he made up his mind that as long as the emperor ordered the punishment, he would immediately go directly to Qian Lide to wash up, kill this guy, and then report Qian Lide to the punishment.

Knowing that the emperor hadn't spoken yet, Zhu Hongyi spoke first on the side.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to intercede for Qian Lide, Qian Lide has followed His Majesty for more than 20 years, Your Majesty knows that he is the kind of person with a big mouth and a long tongue, he just boasts to outsiders that he has followed His Majesty for a long time and is old, and he has absolutely no other meaning, please spare him for the sake of Qian Lide's many rescues!"

Zhu Hongsan heard Zhu Hongyi mention the past, and said with a smile: "Hehe, can the fat man still save the car?" He's just a greedy man who is afraid of death! ”

As soon as Li Chengen heard Zhu Hongsan's words, he knew that Qian Lide couldn't die today, and things were just as he thought. Zhu Hongsan lowered his head and thought for a while, and said to Li Chengen: "Lao Li, you go out and wait for a while, I have something to discuss with my eldest brother!" ”

Li Chengen felt a sense of frustration in his heart when he heard the emperor say this, he wanted to kill Qian Lide this time because he wanted to fire at the old department of Huguang next to the emperor. It stands to reason that he is the emperor's domestic slave is the emperor's own family, but now Emperor Zhu Hongsan is surrounded by a large number of old Huguang departments, such as Wang Xian, such as Qian Lide, and Zhu Hongyi in front of him, if these people don't kill themselves, they will never be able to become the emperor's absolute henchmen.

Originally, Li Chengen wanted to take this opportunity to first defeat a less important person in the old department of Huguang and see how others reacted, but he didn't expect that Zhu Hongyi would come out in the end, it seems that the time has not yet come!

Li Chengen couldn't help it when he heard the emperor say this, he looked at the scenery, as the governor of Dongchang Factory, he was in power, but all his rights came from Zhu Hongsan, and he was not a fart without Zhu Hongsan's holy decree. All Li Chengen can do now is go out and stand at the gate, waiting for Emperor Zhu Hongsan's order.
