"I didn't think so." Zhou Xin flatly denied it.

"Hey......" Hu Tong didn't care, just shook his head, and stopped dwelling on this issue. After looking at the candlelight for a while, he sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "Actually, if you don't say those words today, I will also ask that person for help, but I patted my chest to others to ensure Wang Xian's safety." ”

"Yes......" Zhou Xin's face was as usual, but he sighed in his heart, he really didn't guess wrong, Hu Tong valued Wang Xian so much, not only how powerful he was, there must be other reasons. Otherwise, no matter how good Wang Xian was at that time, he was just a small official, how could Hu Tong recognize him? "Who the hell is that?"

"It's Zheng He, Zheng Gonggong......" Hu Tong said in a low voice.

"Gonggong Zheng?" Zhou Xin said softly, if there is one of the last worthy people among the dead eunuchs, it must be Zheng He, but how could Zheng He have a relationship with Wang Xian?

"When Wang Xian arrived in Suzhou, Gonggong Zheng was also in Suzhou, and they met at that time." Hu Tong said lightly.

"I see, ......" suppressed the doubts in his heart, Zhou Xin said: "But internal officials are not allowed to be in politics, and Gonggong Zheng is not suitable, right?" ”

"Of course Gonggong Zheng is not suitable, and I didn't look for Gonggong Zheng." Hu Tong lowered his eyelids and said, "How can Gonggong Zheng look at Wang Xian in the right eye?" ”

"I also think that the wind and horses and cows are not related." Zhou Xin asked with a strange expression: "Then who else can there be?" Wan suddenly said: "You are ...... Taisun? He remembered that Nian Zheng's father-in-law was accompanying the emperor's grandson, on behalf of Emperor Yongle, to Hu Guanghuge's hometown to pay tribute......

"Yes, it's the grandson, this year, he asked people to ask Wang Xian about the situation from time to time, and asked me to help him find a way to get a background......" Hu Tong mentioned it now, and still said with an incredible face: "I really can't think of how they are good, but I heard that although the grandson is both civil and military, he also likes to play very much, especially like fighting crickets, maybe Wang Xian is relying on this, and he is the grandson of the emperor." I have to admit that Hu Qin's instincts are scary, and he even guessed at a glance, or he was well-informed to the point of subtlety.

"It turned out to be the grandson...... Zhou Xin's face flashed with joy, everyone knew that Emperor Yongle loved this grandson very much, and in the second year of the crown prince, he canonized Zhu Zhanji as the emperor's grandson.

Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, Emperor Yongle's favor for the grandson is absolutely true, and Zhou Xinyan said with joy: "That's easy to do...

"Not so optimistic." Hu Tong shook his head, "The grandson is not yet sixteen years old this year, and the emperor still treats him as a child. "A pure minister like Zhou Xin does not think about the subtle situation of the court, Hu Tong lives in the rivers and lakes, but he has a closer connection with the DPRK and China, and he can better grasp the court situation.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Xin lowered his voice and asked, "Prince?" ”

"It can only be the crown prince." Hu Tong said slowly: "The crown prince has been in the East Palace and has been in charge of the court for many years, if he is willing to help with this, the emperor will give him this face." ”

"Face?" Zhou Xin said harshly: "This is a state affair, what does it have to do with face?" ”

"Brother's words are a bit roundabout," Hu Tong shook his head and said: "Which Shangguan is surrounded by a few subordinates, isn't it who has a big face and who is good?" It's the same in front of the emperor. After a pause, he decided to be more clear: "Now in front of the emperor, there are five people with the biggest face"

"Which five?" Zhou Xin's heart couldn't help but pound, this kind of late-night closed-door talk about palace ban is really a bit exciting.

"The first one is naturally Yao Guangxiao, the black-clothed prime minister." Hu Tong whispered: "But in the past ten years, in addition to carefully teaching the emperor and grandson, he has concentrated on being his monk, and he has not mixed anything. ”

"Hmm." Zhou Xin nodded, this is easy to understand, when Yao Guangxiao was still a Daoyan monk, he wholeheartedly instigated Yongle to rebel, sent a white hat, and found Yuan Tianshi to tell Zhu Di a hexagram, yes, Zhu Di decided to rebel after the most reluctance, and he had to account for sixty percent of the factors. In the Battle of Jingjing, he was the number one adviser, Zhu Di consulted him about everything, and he knew everything that was not humane to outsiders. Basically, there is only one end for such a person, and that is to cook a rabbit and a dead dog.

But Zhu Di is a person with clear grievances, although he loves to kill, but he is not as indiscriminate as his father. Moreover, Yao Guangxiao knew how to advance and retreat, and helped Zhu Di win the world, but he never invited merit and reward, nor did he love power, and he had a great hidden posture in the court. This made Zhu Di very relieved, because for many years, the monarch and the minister have been harmonious, and they are more like a pair of friends, but if they want Yao Guangxiao to speak, no one can do it.

"The second is King Han." Hu Tong sighed and said, "It's not necessary......

"No need......" Zhou Xin nodded, the emperor's favorite grandson is Zhu Zhanji, but his favorite son is not his father Zhu Gaochi, but Zhu Gaochu, the king of Han. Zhu Gaoxu's bravery is incomparable, extremely similar to Zhu Di, he has repeatedly made military exploits in the Battle of Jingjing, and has saved Zhu Di's life several times, Zhu Di has also promised to pass on the throne to him in the future in front of all civil and military personnel.

Although the Empress Emperor was forced by the pressure of the courtiers to pass the throne to his eldest son, he was extremely fond of Zhu Gaoxu, and he was not allowed to be a vassal for a long time, and he was allowed to lead the troops when he went out to fight, and when he returned to Beijing, he was allowed to participate in the military aircraft, and all his status was the same as that of the prince, which made people have to reverie more...... Is the emperor looking for an opportunity and ready to change people at any time?

But this is not a topic that people and ministers should discuss, and King Han and Ji Gang are too fat to wear a pair of pants, so it's good not to make trouble, and you still expect him to help?

Zhou Xin silently recited a few 'sins' in his heart, and then asked, "What about the third one?" ”

"Gonggong Zheng, the chief official supervisor." Hu Tong said: "He is the emperor's most trusted person, but unfortunately the internal officials can't be in politics, although he has a big face, he can't talk nonsense." "In this era, the status of the celebrant is still very low, and the chief official supervisor is the chief of the internal administration.

"Of course." Zhou Xin nodded and said: "Gonggong Zheng's military exploits are world-renowned, Wen Taowu is strategic, if the emperor is not a eunuch, he will definitely be a marquis." But it is precisely because of this that the emperor will fully trust him. ”

"Yes, the year before last, when the grandson went south, the emperor didn't worry about anyone, so he let Gonggong Zheng accompany him, which is enough to clarify the problem." Hu Tong nodded.

"And what about the fourth?" Zhou Xinxin, it's the prince's turn, right?

"The fourth place is the commander of Jinyiwei...... Ji Gang" mentioned this name, Hu Tong's voice unconsciously became much quieter, as if he was afraid of being heard by the all-pervasive Jinyiwei.

"Alas......" Zhou Xin sighed, too, can the big spy leader not be trusted? It's just that he is in front of the prince, which is really depressing. "Could it be that the crown prince can only be ranked fifth?"

"In fact, the fifth is King Zhao" Emperor Yongle has a total of three sons, all of whom are from Empress Xu, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, is the eldest. The younger son will always get more favor from his parents, and Zhu Gaosui was born suave and suave, his writing is scorching, and when it comes to intelligence, the eldest brother and the second brother can't catch up, and the emperor's love for him is second only to the king of Han and far more than the crown prince......

Hu Tong sighed and said: "In fact, even Jian Tianguan and Xia Situ are more treated by the emperor than the prince, but with the status of the prince, the emperor is not too much." ”

"Can the prince still talk?" Although Zhou Xin had heard about the prince's situation, he really didn't expect it to be so bad.

"It is precisely because of the difficult situation" Hu Tong was silent for a while before he said softly: "That's why I have to speak." ”

"Makes sense, too." Zhou Xin nodded, and said with a worried face: "It's just this matter, will it be involved in the dispute between the prince and the king of Han?" ”

"That's no way...... Hu Tong smiled bitterly: "Unless you can invite Yao Guangxiao, who else in the world is not afraid of Ji Gang except the prince?" ”

"Alas......" Zhou Xin said with a gloomy expression: "Don't become a sinner through the ages, or don't think of other ways?" ”

"That's it, although the prince is not favored, but after all, he is the prince of four years and the prince of twelve years, with the support of hundreds of officials behind him, and the protection of his ancestors on his head, how can he be oppressed by the king of Han and Ji Gang? It will come out when it should be out, and the outcome is undecided" Hu Tong and Zhou Xin's attitude actually dropped, and now Zhou Xin began to hesitate, but Hu Tong was eager to try: "What's more, let's report this matter, do it or not, what to do, the decision is in the prince, if he feels that it is inappropriate, he can not do it"

"Yes." Zhou Xin nodded, since Emperor Yongle killed Jianwen's old ministers, the court law department has been useless, there are too few people in this world who dare to argue with Ji Gang, and it seems that turning to the prince for help is the only way......

After the two agreed, Zhou Xin wrote a thick note about the human tragedy that happened in Hangzhou overnight, and then solemnly signed his name

"Actually, you can leave it unsigned." Hu Tong said softly: "Just let the prince know the way." ”

"No, I have to sign it." Zhou Xin shook his head firmly and said: "Once something happens, my responsibility is mine." ”

"Ugh." Hu Tong sighed and stopped stopping. took the strip Chen and put it away closely, but smiled bitterly: "If you do this, I will have to find someone to take care of me." ”

"I'm sorry." Zhou Xin said apologetically.

"Who told me to be a friend like you? Who made me Raushzichencha? Hu Tong just said it, he had already made up his mind in his heart, he hugged his fist at Zhou Xin and said: "You wait for my news, if it doesn't work out, it will take five days at most, and I'll give you a reply."

"Please" Zhou Xin sighed deeply.

"I will not disgrace the mission" Hu Tong finished, turned around and got into the sedan chair, and left the Yamen of the Political Secretary, he should have entered Beijing to report to the emperor, and he came to Hangzhou by the way, so he left Hangzhou and rushed to the capital at night.

In the afternoon of the next day, he rushed to Jinling City, 600 miles away, under the city of Jinling. This is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, naturally it is the largest city in the world, the city wall is laid with a large stone strip, completely wrapped with blue bricks, up to five zhang, and the city wall is by the mountains and water, the land is advantageous, very solid. From south to north, according to the ridge of the city, like a cyan dragon lying horizontally, at this time there is no cloud, the red sun in the sky obliquely shines on the scales of this dragon, a piece of golden light shines, a good fortune of the great country weather

Under the gate of the capital, although it is heavily guarded, it is open to all people who enter and exit, and not ordinary people have to show the road seal...... Of course, Hu Tong didn't need to, with the apricot yellow flag representing Qincha in the guards, he went straight into the city, handed over the sign before the palace gate was locked, and then went home to rest.

Wonderful recommendation:
