"And this unknown force has not appeared since the ambush and framed the Maitreya Society, I believe that they should have no real life-and-death enmity with CITIC or even the Ming family, in this case, after it is ruled out, there will be the Maitreya Society left!" Liu Daxia continued.

At this time, Lu Mingyuan didn't add anything more, but lowered his head and pondered, as if some questions had not been thought out clearly.

Even so, their analysis is really creepy! Ming Youren's cold hair stood up when he heard this.

Correspondingly, he felt deeply hurt, after all, he didn't feel anything when he got along with each other on weekdays, and now through this analysis, these scheming demons were able to calculate people's hearts so deeply, in contrast, how could he gain a foothold in this Jingshi?

Of course, these are just thoughts in his heart, and he will never say them!

Ming Zhongxin nodded slowly and agreed with Liu Daxia's statement.

But Lu Mingyuan was still pondering, and he didn't answer the conversation, or even as if he hadn't heard it at all.

"By the way, who is the person who is on an equal footing with Li Shishi?" Ming Youren asked.

As soon as these words were asked, in an instant, the atmosphere was condensed, yes, who is this person, who can hold such a high position in the Maitreya Society, and is also on an equal footing with Li Shishi, a second-class member, how high is this person's identity in the Maitreya Society? And how important? This question chilled their hearts.

Ming Zhongxin, Liu Daxia, and Fu Bo all kept silent and fell into deep thought.

They don't dare to open their mouths! After all, this matter is very important, and everyone can't help but turn their attention to Shi Wenyi.

"Everyone," Shi Wenyi smiled bitterly and clenched his fists, "Don't look at me like this, even Li Shishi is not sure that I can find out the clues, let alone the high-level of this Maitreya Society!" ”

However, at the moment when he spoke, a trace of essence flashed in Ming Zhongxin's eyes.

"What? CITIC: Have you found something? Shi Wenyi happened to see the glint in Ming Zhongxin's eyes, and hurriedly asked.

For a moment, everyone looked at Ming Zhongxin, hoping that he would have something insightful.

Even Lu Mingyuan looked up at Ming Zhongxin.

"This?" Ming Zhongxin pondered for a moment and said slowly, "I suspect that this Li Shishi has something to do with the remnants who escaped before the Maitreya Society. ”

As he spoke, he glanced around at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, I think this may have something to do with the thieves who disappeared in the Xiao Mansion!" ”

What the? Everyone is stunned, this sentence is a big one. If this Li Shishi is related to the Maitreya thieves who were engaged in wind and rain in Beijing before, then I am afraid that this matter is really going to break the sky! How do we deal with it?

"CITIC, from today onwards, you are afraid that you really have to be careful at any time!" Lu Mingyuan spoke.

"Mr. Lu's advice!" Ming Zhongxin hurriedly bowed and said.

"CITIC!" Lu Mingyuan glanced at him deeply, "Now that the situation is in danger, you have already touched the bottom line of the Maitreya Society!" ”

Ming Zhongxin was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of realization flashed in his eyes, and he said thoughtfully, "Are you saying that those evidences were originally ironclad evidence that Maitreya would target me and put me to death?" ”

Lu Mingyuan smiled bitterly, "Yes, if it was simply that thief who assassinated you, I wouldn't be very worried!" However, now that the power in the court has been used against you, it means that you have truly become a thorn in their side and a thorn in the flesh. Now, I'm in trouble! ”

"Mr. Lu is too worried, if it was when there was no intention to expose it before, CITIC might still be worried, but now that they have exposed their purpose, then CITIC is really not afraid!" Ming Zhongxin smiled and said in a deep voice.

Lu Mingyuan frowned, but looked at Ming Zhongxin, who was full of confidence, and didn't say anything anymore.

"CITIC, don't be careless, you don't know, if the court forces are launched, I'm afraid that they are really not comparable to those assassinations!" Liu Daxia said a little eagerly.

"yes!" Ming Youren looked at Ming Zhongxin worriedly, "What Lord Liu said is that you are a white official after all, and you have no experience at all, as the saying goes, it is easy to dodge with an open gun, but it is difficult to defend against a hidden arrow!" ”

Seeing that everyone was so worried, Ming Zhongxin restrained his smile and arched his hand, "Elders, although CITIC is stupid, it is also self-aware, but now you also know that CITIC is actually terminally ill, so why be afraid!" It's a big deal, the fish is dead and the net is broken! ”

At this time, Lu Mingyuan also frowned, looking at Mingzhong in surprise The weirdness in his confidence was extremely strange, could it be that he had made a mistake in his judgment? Is this Ming Zhongxin really terminally ill?

He was still a gamble in his heart before, after all, in his opinion, Ming Zhongxin simply took this reason as a coward and refused to marry Lan Xin'er, in fact, there was another reason, but according to what he said now, there was something wrong!

But he didn't say anything, but instead kept his eyes on Ming Zhongxin, hoping to get clues from his words and deeds to verify what he had guessed.

Liu Daxia didn't care about this, and said in a deep voice, "CITIC, this is no longer to be said, you must know that your life is a matter of life and death for countless people, although you feel that you have a serious illness, but before you get the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, it is better not to say anything!" ”

"Yes, things can't be seen that way! You can't break the can, after all, even if you have a serious illness, aren't there so many doctors in the world? Is there no one who can cure you? Ming Youren persuaded him.

"Young master, is there still Mrs. Ming at home? You just can't bear to let her old man worry about you? Fauber assisted.

Ming Zhongxin looked at everyone helplessly, so he could only shut up.

If I continue to talk about it, I am afraid that I will really become a sinner for the ages! What else to say!

"Alright, let's get back to business!" Lu Mingyuan coughed lightly.

For a moment, everyone looked at him.

"Have you ever thought about it, is Li Shishi a member of the Maitreya Society, or does he belong to another force?" Lu Mingyuan asked in a deep voice.

Yes! This question surprised everyone, didn't it have been concluded before, that Li Shishi was actually a member of the Maitreya Society? How so?

"Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever thought about why Li Shishi is a member of the Maitreya Society, why did he do this? Such recklessness? Wouldn't it be strange that such important evidence was thrown out like this? Lu Mingyuan looked at everyone, and asked one question after another.

"What do you mean?" Shi Wenyi asked first, after all, this news is too exciting, even more exciting than Li Shishi is a member of the Maitreya Society! As a spy leader, he must be vigilant, after all, the Maitreya Society is enough to give them a headache, plus a force, wouldn't they be busy to death!

"I mean, in fact, Li Shishi simply belongs to another force, and it is a force that shares the same qi as Maitreya, otherwise, these speculations will not be valid." Lu Mingyuan didn't hide it, and said.

What do you mean by that? Everyone asked in unison.

"Master Shi, you say, are there any new forces in the Jingshi now?" Lu Mingyuan didn't continue, but asked Shi Wenyi.

Yes! Shi Wenyi didn't expect Lu Mingyuan to intercept the conversation and ask him at this juncture, and he was a little sluggish for a while.

"Brother Shi, tell me, is there a new force in the Jingshi now?" Ming Zhongxin added.

Shi Wenyi came to his senses, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "These days, the Beijing division is indeed lively, in addition to you and Lord Wang returning to Beijing, in fact, southern Xinjiang has also frequently sent envoys, or some representatives of people who spy on the tone of the imperial court and are worried about being implicated. ”

"What's more, some of the kings of southern Xinjiang have also entered Beijing and made some requests to His Majesty, of course, their reason is to help the imperial court quell the chaos, and in the future, they will help the imperial court stabilize southern Xinjiang."

"Then there are those officials who have made meritorious contributions to quelling the chaos to send good news to the imperial court, and it can also be said that they have come to ask for merit and reward. Apart from these categories, there is no power! Shi Wenyi concluded.

"That's it!" Lu Mingyuan said slowly, but his eyes were confused.

Fu Bo and Liu Daxia, who were familiar with his habits, looked at him in unison, waiting for his next instructions.

Ming Zhongxin had other thoughts, and he was completely off the sidelines and didn't care about these.

Ming Youren only cares about Ming Zhongxin, and the others don't mean anything to him.

"Lord Shi, what do you say, what are the requirements of the King of Fan?" Suddenly, Lu Mingyuan spoke.

Shi Wenyi hurriedly replied, "Mr. Hui Lu, in addition to asking for some military power, those King Fan also asked for some material supplies, and even more, they also asked for the restoration of the old establishment and the restoration of the guards!" ”

Guardian restoration? As soon as these words came out, Liu Daxia gasped, his eyes flashed with a light of inexplicability, and he looked at Lu Mingyuan.

Lu Mingyuan frowned and looked at Shi Wenyi, "Lord Shi, who mentioned this matter of resuming the guard?" ”

"King Ning!" Shi Wenyi replied.

King Ning? Lu Mingyuan instantly returned to his contemplative state.

Liu Daxia, who was next to him, changed his face suddenly, but he no longer spoke.

Shi Wenyi thought about it, oh, understood, these people thought of the previous thing, that is, the matter of the first Ning King.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the power of the vassal king was very great, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, feudalized his sons in the border town, which was a fence for the country. The first generation of Ning King Zhu Quansan's guards were 100,000 with armor, as well as elite Mongolian mercenaries, and they were one of the main forces of Chengzu Jingnan. As for the reduction of the feudal domain, it really started when Emperor Jianwen was established, because the vassal kings were very strong, and Emperor Jianwen began to cut the feudal domain under the planning of Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others, and finally led to the difficulty of Chengzu raising troops and appeasement. After Chengzu ascended the throne, he continued to implement Emperor Jianwen's policy of cutting feudal domains, moving the powerful kings of Biansai to the interior and reducing the guards. For example, King Ning's fief was moved from Daning to Jiangxi, and only 3,000 people were left in Yiwei.

Starting from Gaozu Zhu Quan, there were many contradictions between King Ning and the imperial court in successive dynasties. When Zhu Di, the king of Yan, launched the Battle of Jingjing, in order to seek the help of the Daning armies, he used a plan to coerce Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, so that the Daning border army obeyed his command, and Zhu Di also coaxed Zhu Quan: "If it is done, the world will be divided." After King Yan became the emperor, King Ning asked to change the title of Suzhou, Qiantang and other southern places, but Zhu Di refused, and the contradiction between King Ning and the emperor arose. After Zhu Quan's death, his grandson Zhu Dianpei's heir, because of "the addition of the palace and the sending of Sui Lu in Jinfu County, to invite the east and west lakes in Nanchang City", was resisted by Cui Gong, who was then the political envoy of Zuobu, and resented, "So he impeached (Cui) Gong for lawlessness, and Gong and Yuan Jie, the envoy of the inspection, also played Dian Pei privately offered the people of the second palace to Hui, and forced the internal official Xiong Bi to commit suicide." According to the truth, he seized the guard". The removal of King Ning's guard and the change to the Nanchang Left Guard further aggravated the contradictions between Zhu Quan and the imperial court.

Of course, in this generation, Zhu Chenhao, King of Ning, is the fifth grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang's seventeenth son, Zhu Quan, King Ning. At first, he was crowned the king of the high. In the tenth year of Hongzhi (1497), he was enthroned in Nanchang, and in the twelfth year of Hongzhi (1499), he was enthroned as King Ning.

"King Ning has arrived in Jingshi?" Liu Daxia was surprised, "In what name did he come to Beijing?" Did Your Majesty grant it? ”

You must know that the king of this era is not allowed to leave the territory without permission, if you want to leave, one is to follow the order, and the other is to encounter irresistible natural disasters.

That's right, an act of God! Liu Daxia was stunned.

But, no! King Ning was sealed in Nanchang, Jiangxi, where there were no natural disasters.

That's right, man-made disaster! Liu Daxia had a flash of inspiration, thief! You must know that there are frequent rebellions in the entire southern Xinjiang, and the encirclement and suppression in various places are chaotic, if this King Ning uses this as an excuse, he can also get through the tricks, but it would be good for him to go to Nanjing, why did he come to Beijing? Is it for this restoration of the guard?

Liu Daxia was shocked.

"Has Your Majesty given permission?" Lu Mingyuan asked slowly.

"Not really?"

"Hmm!" Lu Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "In what name did he start to restore the guard?" ”

"What else, he just used the thieves everywhere and the officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress the ineffective as the excuse, and reviewed the prestige of King Ning's ancestors' guards, the wording was sincere, righteous words, and then in the name of the safety of King Ning's family and his family, which was not guaranteed, and damaged the prestige of the heavenly family, he asked to restore the old guards, surround the west of the arch, and help the officers and soldiers to quell the chaos in their spare time!" A trace of disdain appeared on Shi Wenyi's face.

"Presumably, Your Majesty should have seen the intention of this guy to take advantage of the fire to rob, so he didn't allow it!" Liu Daxia sneered and concluded on the side.

"Yes, it should be!" Fauber nodded.

"No!" Lu Mingyuan shook his head.

"What is Mr. Lu's opinion?" Liu Daxia didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked.

Even Shi Wenyi looked at him, wanting to know what Lu Mingyuan had in mind.

"I'm afraid that King Ning didn't come here for this guard!" Lu Mingyuan said categorically.

No? Liu Daxia, Fu Bo, and Shi Wenyi were stunned, obviously yes! Otherwise, why did King Ning come all the way to the Jingshi Institute?

"Lord Shi, you still have to check whether this King Ning has been in frequent contact with ministers or wealthy businessmen since he came to Jingshi!" Lu Mingyuan looked at Shi Wenyi with deep meaning and said slowly.

Shi Wenyi understood for the first time, his face turned pale in an instant, and he bowed to salute, "Mr. Xie Lu mention!" ”
