Chapter 219: Suspicion (Three Watches)

At night, in the private room of a restaurant in Beijing, Cui Hui frowned, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and the expression on his face was extremely strict. The fastest and most stable update is to see the latest chapter of Perfect World. Read the website

"Cui Yushi, why are you in such a hurry to find me?" With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Lu Tianxing walked in quickly, asking a little suspiciously.

"Little grandfather, something may have happened to the emperor." Cui Hui walked over and closed the door, and said to Lu Tianxing in a low voice.

"Something's wrong?" Lu Tianxing was slightly stunned, and he didn't understand what Cui Hui meant for a while.

"Little grandfather, do you think this thing is strange?" Cui Hui told Lu Tianxing about the two chamberlain's private discussions about the changes in Emperor Hongxi's food tastes, and then asked in a deep voice.

"If the situation is true, the emperor is very likely to be seriously ill, and the so-called blessing is just to cover up." Lu Tianxing groaned for a moment, he had already reacted at this time, and looked up at Cui Hui.

"Perhaps, this is the emperor's plan to capture and indulge, deliberately leaking the news, as long as the king of Han has a storm, then he will be hit hard by thunder." Cui Hui's eyebrows tightened, and he said another possibility.

Lu Tianxing couldn't help but nod when he heard this, the soldiers were treacherous, what tricks Emperor Hong Xi was playing was probably only known to Emperor Hong Xi himself.

"Little grandfather, I really can't figure it out, why would the emperor do this if he wants to deal with King Han? The emperor has many methods at his disposal, and there is no need to go to such great lengths to fast. After being silent for a long time, Cui Hui spoke again, looking at Lu Tianxing with a solemn expression.

"What do you mean......" Lu Tianxing's eyes flashed with surprise, and his face was full of shock.

"If the emperor's taste has really changed, then the biggest possibility is that the person in the Qin'an Palace is not the emperor, and the reason why the emperor did this is probably to delay time and wait for the prince to enter Beijing." Cui Hui nodded, affirmed Lu Tianxing's guess, and said expressionlessly.

"No wonder the emperor fasted for 49 days for no reason, it turned out that he wanted to hide from the world. Seventy-seven forty-nine days! After Cui Hui's little push, Lu Tianxing finally reacted and muttered to himself.

"Little grandfather, if this is the case, the emperor's illness must be very serious." Cui Hui's face was cloudy for a while, and he said gloomily, "Or maybe the emperor is already in the sky, since the fast, no adult has seen the emperor except Lord Yang, and Lord Yang is the emperor's confidant, so naturally he will not betray the emperor." ”

Lu Tianxing looked at Cui Hui with a shocked face when he heard this, Cui Hui's assumption was too bold, but it was not unreasonable if he thought about it.

"Little grandfather, as long as people check the emperor's meal arrangements these days, as well as the status of the hospital's visits, you can know whether the person in the Qin'an Palace is the emperor and whether the emperor is seriously ill. The fastest and most stable update" Cui Hui thought about it and lost no time in proposing a proposal.

He was sure that King Han must have planted eyeliner in the palace, although those eyeliners were not enough to contact the true situation of Emperor Hongxi's fasting this time, but it was still a piece of cake to check Emperor Hongxi's meals and Tai Hospital.

"I'll arrange it." Lu Tianxing came back to his senses, nodded at Cui Hui, and left in a hurry, this matter was very important, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

"The surname Li, as long as you find out why the emperor is fasting, then this world is the king of Han." After Lu Tian walked, Cui Hui's face showed a hideous smile and said viciously.

Li Yuntian never imagined that there would be a problem with Emperor Hong Xi's meal, and as a result, it would bring a big trouble.

As he said before, there is no perfect crime in the world, and there is no complete plan, which is called a hundred secrets and one omission.

When Li Yuntian and Lei Ting arrived in Yangzhou City, it was already dusk, so they had to live in Yangzhou City now and rush to Nanjing City early the next morning.

At noon, the majestic city of Nanjing appeared in front of the convoy, and Li Yuntian lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at this Ming escort capital with great interest, which was even more magnificent than the city of Beijing.

For example, the difference between the city of Nanjing and the city of Beijing can be known from the scale alone, and the city of Beijing is divided into three parts, from the inside to the outside, the palace city, the imperial city, and the capital city.

The city of Nanjing is divided into four parts, from the inside to the outside, the palace city, the imperial city, the capital city and the outer Guo city.

It can be seen that the scale of Nanjing City is extremely grand, and it has reached the extreme of the capital of all dynasties.

The soldiers at the city gate knew Lei Ting's convoy, so they didn't check it at all, and directly let the convoy enter the city.

Although it is no longer the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the prosperity in Nanjing is still there:

The street is lively and noisy, the pedestrians are bustling, and there are even a lot of exotic people in fancy costumes, and the shops on both sides are even more rowed, and the shelves are full of items, which is worthy of being the richest place in the Ming Dynasty.

The convoy stopped in front of a large family's house, and the housekeeper who guarded the door saw Lei Ting coming, and hurriedly went in to report that this was Lei Ting's grandmother's house.

Lei Ting's mother died when she was one year old, she grew up in her grandmother's house when she was a child, and her relationship with her grandmother's family was extremely deep.

Li Yuntian followed Lei Ting's entourage to the residence where the subordinates rested, and divided a separate bedroom, he did not stay for long, and soon went out on the pretext of shopping, walked around the street, found that no one was following him, and then turned into a small alley.

At the end of last year, Li Yuntian had inspected the layout plans of several important cities in Nanzhili, including Nanjing, at the Ministry of Industry, so although he was visiting for the first time, he already knew the structure of the city by heart.

The reason why Li Yuntian pays attention to Nanzhili is because Nanzhili has a pivotal position in the Ming Dynasty, contributing half of the Ming Dynasty's taxes, and will definitely have to deal with Nanzhili in the future, so he took precautions and planned early, first starting to understand from several important cities in Nanzhili, and now it has come in handy.

When Li Yuntian reappeared, he was already outside the yamen of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, and compared with the yamen of the Beijing Dedu Procuratorate, the scale of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate was larger and grander, and the momentum was majestic.

It's just that because the staffing of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate has shrunk a lot, it looks a little deserted, and there are only two sergeants with waist knives standing there lazily chatting at the huge gate.

"Master Jun, I don't know if Yu Qian Yu Yushi can be in there now?" Li Yuntian stepped forward, took out a piece of broken silver and stuffed it into the hand of a tall sergeant, and asked with a smile.

"Yu Yushi went to the palace on an errand, if you have anything to do, come back tomorrow." The tall sergeant reached out and tossed the silver into his waist, and replied.

"I am a friend of Yu Yushi, and I hope that the military master can pass this letter to Yu Yushi's family." Li Yuntian had already guessed that Yu Qian was not there, so he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the tall sergeant.

Although Yu Qian often enters the palace to run errands, but he lives in the yamen of the Duchayuan, since the Yongle Emperor moved the capital to Beijing, the yamen of the major ministries and institutes in Nanjing has been idle, and many officials belonging to the ministries and institutes live in it, so that it is also convenient to work.

The tall sergeant took the letter and entered the courtyard on the part of the broken silver, and a smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, as long as Yu Qian read the letter, he would definitely go to the dinner tomorrow at noon.

The content of the letter is very ordinary, that is, an ordinary greeting, inviting him to go to a restaurant at noon tomorrow to have dinner and catch up, signed "Zimu".

Speaking of which, since leaving the capital to take office in Hukou County, Li Yuntian and Yu Qian have never seen each other again, but the two often contact each other by letter, and Li Yuntian believes that Yu Qian can recognize his words.

Moreover, Li Yuntian also reminded in his heart that "Zimu" together is "Li", and with Yu Qian's intelligence, he must have guessed that the person who wrote the letter was him.

In Li Yuntian's opinion, letting Yu Qian deliver the news to the prince is the most convenient way, and at the same time, it will not arouse the suspicion of outsiders.

Since he handed over the letter to Yu Qian's family, Li Yuntian had no choice but to wait, he finally came to Nanjing City, so he naturally wanted to walk around the city and buy some things to go back to the business.

Li Yuntian had long heard of the extravagance of the Qinhuai River in the ten miles of Nanjing, and when he arrived at the bank of the Qinhuai River, he saw that the bank was full of all kinds of painting boats, although there were only a few boats cruising on the river, and it seemed a little quiet, but he could imagine the magnificent scene of noisy and prosperous at night, and a hundred boats competing for beauty.

It is no wonder that many ministers in the capital are eager to move the capital to Nanjing, and I am afraid that luxury enjoyment is also one of the important factors.

At noon the next day, Li Yuntian went to a restaurant on the bank of the Qinhuai River, where he booked a private room yesterday, and sat in front of the window while enjoying the beautiful scenery on the Qinhuai River, while waiting for Yu Qian's arrival.

Half an hour later, the door of the private room opened, and a sturdy man in casual clothes, medium stature, and bright eyes pushed the door and walked in.

"Resurrection, is it really you?" The sturdy man glanced up and down at Li Yuntian, who had a beard sticking to his face, and said with a look of surprise.

"Four years ago, when the capital was farewell, Brother Tingyi's demeanor is still the same." Li Yuntian smiled and arched his hand to the sturdy man, the sturdy man is Yu Qian, the word Tingyi, Li Yuntian is the same year as him, and the two are almost the same age, so they naturally call each other.

"You didn't fast and pray for blessings with the emperor in the capital, why did you come to Nanjing?" Yu Qian's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly closed the door and asked in a low voice, his expression was extremely surprised, it was obvious that Li Yuntian's appearance here was inappropriate,

"Brother Tingyi, the younger brother has the emperor's order, and he needs to see the prince, and I hope that Brother Tingyi can help the younger brother." Li Yuntian arched his hand at Yu Qian and said solemnly.

It's not that he can't believe Yu Qian, but the news of Emperor Hong Xi's death is very important, and he can't sue anyone except Lei Ting, a helper, without the permission of the prince.

Hearing this, Yu Qian's face suddenly changed greatly, and he immediately realized that something big had happened in the capital, otherwise Li Yuntian would have come to Nanjing City quietly, and he would have asked him to see the prince?

Feeling that the situation was urgent, Yu Qian didn't even eat lunch, and after discussing it with Li Yuntian, he left in a hurry and went to arrange for Li Yuntian and the prince to meet.

After nightfall, the Qinhuai River is brightly lit and lively, and the colorful painting boats shuttle on the riverside, and the sound of singing, dancing and laughter is endless.

In a painting boat parked on the shore, in the cabin, Li Yuntian and Lei Ting, who was dressed in men's clothes, sat by the window, looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the shore with a stern expression.

According to Li Yuntian and Yu Qian's plan, Yu Qian will bring the prince to see him in the painting boat, as long as he meets the prince, then half of his task this time will be completed.

Suddenly, Li Yuntian's eyes lit up, and seven or eight people on the shore walked quickly towards the painting boat, and by the light on the road, they could clearly see that the leader was Yu Qian, and the man in civilian clothes who followed Yu Qian with a cold expression was the crown prince Zhu Zhanji.

Seeing this situation, Li Yuntian hurriedly led Lei Ting off the boat to greet him. One
