Chapter 872: The Joy of Great Birthday
Chapter 872: The Joy of Great Birthday.
A few days after Zhu Di returned from the expedition, it was Ji Gang's birthday.
Ye Xing still clearly remembered that when he first came to Jinling, he accompanied Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, to congratulate Ji Gang on his birthday, and on the big birthday, at the moment when there were many beautiful women dancing in neon clothes, he saw Di Mengniang again.
The situation at that time was so dangerous, but fortunately, Xu Huizu covered for the two of them.
Now five or six years have passed, Ye Xing and they have been walking all over the world in the land of the Ming Dynasty, dealing with all kinds of cases, and even accompanying Zheng He to the West.
I don't know if anyone will think about assassinating Ji Gang on Ji Gang's birthday this time, when Ye Xing and Hua Zhimeng expected this, the two of them couldn't help but want to laugh.
It wasn't funny at the time, but it was a good memory for the two of them, and since it was a good memory, why not laugh?
The birthday of the commander of Jinyiwei must not be ambiguous, there are still many princes and ministers who go to Ji Gang to celebrate his birthday this year, but there are not so many people in the rivers and lakes.
The rivers and lakes are still the same rivers and lakes, people come and go, things change, but today's rivers and lakes will no longer go to the Ji Gang, although the Ji Gang is still in power, but now Ye Xing is against him, and Ye Xing's status in the rivers and lakes is definitely not to be underestimated, so who will go to the Ji Gang?
It's not good to offend anyone, but it's still not okay to offend anyone.
Ye Xing, as the king of the Ming Dynasty, it is necessary to go to Ji Gang to celebrate his birthday, although the two of them have not been very eye-to-eye, but the rules of the court are so unbreakable that Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, did not come at the beginning.
The weather that day was not very good, gloomy and gloomy, but this did not affect the liveliness of Jifu, in such a gloomy weather, the liveliness seemed to be a little out of time, but who cares about him, as long as everyone is lively, as long as everyone is tied to the Jinyi Guard Commander Ji Gang, they don't care about the rest at all.
At the beginning of autumn, the weather in the morning and the weather at noon are two very different things.
When the feast began, everyone was already feeling the heat, and it was stuffy, like the moment when a midsummer storm came.
Ye Xing and Hua Zhimeng wanted to leave after giving gifts and complimenting them, but just as they were about to leave, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and the Han king Zhu Gaoxi led people over, and both of them prepared gifts and prepared to stay here to eat.
Seeing this situation, Ye Xing secretly worried about the prince Zhu Gaochi, Ye Xing understood the purpose of the prince Zhu Gaochi very well, since the last time Ye Xing helped him subdue the minister's heart, this Zhu Gaochi found that it was actually easy to buy people's hearts, and after buying people's hearts, he found that he was also handy in doing things, so he wantonly bought people's hearts.
And among these people, what he wants to buy the most is, of course, the hearts of the Jinyi Guard's commander Ji Gang.
Jin Yiwei has a high status in the official system of the Ming Dynasty, and Jin Yiwei is equivalent to the emperor's pro-army, and he is very loyal to His Majesty the emperor, Zhu Gaochi understands very well that if he can't buy Ji Gang's heart, then he must find a way to get rid of him, otherwise it will be a disaster to keep him.
But it is not easy to get rid of Ji Gang, so Zhu Gaochi wants to try to buy people's hearts.
As long as Ji Gang is brought under his command, then he will be more stable in the position of the prince in the future.
Seeing Zhu Gaochi like this, Ye Xing, who wanted to leave, had no choice but to stay, Zhu Gaochi was still too benevolent, fighting with Zhu Gaoxi, the king of Han, and Ji Gang, the commander of Jinyiwei, the prince was not an opponent at all, so Zhu Gaochi wanted to win over Ji Gang, I am afraid it would be difficult.
Moreover, co-opting Ji Gang is equivalent to raising a tiger for trouble, no matter what you do, it is not worth it.
The gifts prepared by Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxi were very good, the two of them seemed to be competing, and the commander of the brocade guard Ji Gang didn't seem to take it to heart at all, and treated these two princes equally, this person Ye Xing faintly sensed the danger.
Ji Gang and Han King Zhu Gaoxi are in the same group, he has known this for a long time, and now Ji Gang treats everyone equally, it is obvious that he is confusing the prince, but at this time, Ye Xing can't help at all.
People came one after another, and they were seated, the wine and food came up, and under the orders of the housekeeper of the Ji Mansion, the ministers also opened the banquet.
Just thinking of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, Ye Xing and they didn't have the appetite to eat, they just kept looking at the prince, and at this time, Ye Xing suddenly found that in the entire Ji Mansion, there were a few people who were very sneaky, they not only monitored the prince Zhu Gaoxi, but even monitored Ye Xing and them.
This made Ye Xing very angry, but this was Ji Fu, what could he do?
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, as if it is going to rain, but the sky is dense and rainy, which makes people very embarrassed.
At this time, a thunderclap sounded, and everyone was shocked, and at this time, an exclamation came from a table not far away, everyone was startled, and then looked to that place, only to see that table, a minister with a wine glass, a look of horror, and in front of the minister, a person was lying there diagonally, foaming at the mouth, and his body was no longer moving, he died.
I don't know who said that he was dead, and then the entire Ji Mansion suddenly became chaotic, and the guests who came here got up and wanted to leave, but at this time, Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, suddenly stood up and said: "No one is allowed to move, no one is allowed to move until the matter is clarified." ”
The words of the commander of the Jinyi Guard still carried a lot of weight, and after these words, no one dared to move, and they all stood motionless in their original places, for fear that others would suspect that they were murderers.
Ji Gang accompanied the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and the Han king Zhu Gaoxi to the corpse, wanting to investigate, and at this time, Ye Xing and they had already rushed over, others were not allowed to move, but they were not useful to Ye Xing, they were the king of the world, they wanted to go there, and the commander of the Jinyi guard did not move them if they didn't let them move?
Prince Zhu Gaochi's face was ugly, he recognized the minister lying on the ground, he was Li Shicheng who joined the army, and he once followed him to resist the army of Emperor Jianwen in Beiping, this Li Shicheng can be regarded as a talent, but how could he die here?
The crown prince Zhu Gaochi couldn't figure it out, so he looked at Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was inspecting the corpse, and asked, "How did he die?" ”
Jin Yiwei was originally responsible for investigating all kinds of murders, so they still have some ways to conduct autopsies, and after Ji Gang got up, he replied: "Poisoned and died." ”
When everyone heard this, they were shocked, a three-grade soldier died in the mansion of Ji Gang, the commander of Jinyiwei, this is simply incredible!
