Chapter 832: Confrontation between Monarchs and Ministers (I)

"It turns out that you know He Yifan......" Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have other plans, and couldn't help but smile. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Lu Jing seemed to understand, the moment she ran into the camp tent and saw He Yifan's body, she seemed to have figured everything out - all the unknown secrets were solved...... But noticing Zhu Yuanzhang's inexplicable "smiling face", Lu Jing felt uneasy, knowing Zhu Yuanzhang's style of acting, Lu Jing took a few steps forward, stood in front of the three people, and made an inexplicable gesture to the three behind him - that was to signal the three of them not to continue talking.

Tang Zhan, Xiao Tian and Su Jia also glanced at it, understood Lu Jing's gestures, and understood that everything would be handed over to Lu Jing next, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask, and he and the others stopped talking casually......

"I don't know why the emperor learned about this person?" Lu Jing asked this time.

Looking at Lu Jing's staring eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to realize something, and turned to ask: "Then why did the army division and others know?"

Lu Jing seemed to be mentally prepared, and said without hesitation: "This person is He Yifan, a disciple of the Kongtong faction, who was here at the Bianliang Kendo Conference two years ago and is here today...... After the end of the Bianliang War, the last general and others were ordered to guard the city, and learned of He Yifan's whereabouts for no reason, and suspected that he was acting wrongly, so he secretly traced his whereabouts and found it...... But now that he is dead in the emperor's camp, it seems that he is indeed an uninvited guest, and the emperor immediately broke ......"

"That'...... The army division thinks that He Yifan is so wrong?" Zhu Yuanzhang twitched the corners of his mouth and continued to ask tentatively.

"The emperor hasn't answered the general's question yet-" Who knew this time, but Lu Jing "boldly" retorted, "Why does the emperor know Kongtong's disciples?"

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Lu Jing was slightly "provocative", and his eyes must be ......

"Bold, dare to act like this to the emperor!" Hearing Lu Jing's "unceremoniousness" in front of the emperor, the general on the side drew his sword and threatened.

Lu Jing seemed to have prepared for the event, and immediately decided: "The last general dares to ask the emperor, why do you know this person?" -- Since He Yifan is an uninvited guest, breaking into the camp, the last general and others are too late to rescue him, and he is almost unable to escort him, this is a dereliction of duty of the last general;

"Presumptuous, dare to speak to the emperor like this!-" The general couldn't stand Lu Jing's rebelliousness on the side, and raised his sword to threaten - it was already tolerant for breaking into the camp and not pursuing it, but now Lu Jing is speaking disrespectfully in front of the emperor, and it stands to reason that it is a low-level crime.

"Sister Jing......" Xiao Tian, Su Jia and others saw Lu Jing's "amazing words and deeds" behind their backs, and they were worried in their hearts, not knowing what Lu Jing meant, or seeing He Yifan die for no reason, they were carried away by knowing the truth...... But since Lu Jing signaled herself and the others not to speak, it means that there must be calculations in their hearts, and everyone can only hope in suspense now, and the hope of liberation from the "camp" scene is all pinned on Lu Jing......

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand at the general beside him, signaling him to put down his long sword, but he had another calculation in his heart...... "What the army division said is extremely true, if I don't tell He Yifan the truth, I may be in danger repeatedly......" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly, and explained, "I said just now, before you broke into the camp, there was indeed a danger - He Yifan is a disciple of Kongtong, in order to save the people of Bianliang, infiltrated the enemy camp, and repeatedly provided our army with enemy intelligence, and my army benefited a lot...... However, I don't know that He Yifan is the enemy's meticulous work and colludes with the Mengyuan court. Although our army captured Bianliang, He Yifan held a grudge against me, and took advantage of the end of the war to relax his vigilance...... Fortunately, I waited for the guards to save each other desperately, and I foiled He Yifan's conspiracy, and I also learned the truth today, and He Yifan's true face ......"

Lu Jing's eyes froze, as if she had already guessed this answer......

"In this way, General Tang and the army division broke into the camp, it is really ...... To protect ...... Your Majesty?" the generals who rushed to escort listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, and believed the letter, and couldn't help but be embarrassed, "Then just now we were making things difficult for General Tang and others, isn't it...... almost killed the emperor...... The last general was negligent in his duties, please forgive the emperor!" Immediately, the general knelt down beside Zhu Yuanzhang and asked for sin.

The soldiers and soldiers who followed all the soldiers also knelt down with the generals, in order to ask for Zhu Yuanzhang's "forgiveness".

"Those who don't know are not guilty, get up......" Zhu Yuanzhang just replied softly.

"Emperor Xie—" All the soldiers said in unison and got up one after another.

Lu Jing seemed to be expected, and she was sure in her heart, and then she responded: "That's right, the last general and others suspect that He Yifan is Meng Yuan's meticulous work, seeing that he is close to the main army camp, and wants to mistreat the emperor, he can't rest assured, so he came to escort him...... The escort came late, but he saw that the emperor took his life first, the dragon body was worry-free, and the ministers were at ease......"

"Jing'er, why are you ......" Hearing Lu Jing suddenly say that He Yifan was "meticulous", which was completely different from his previous speculation, Tang Zhan couldn't help but cast a surprised gaze - but thinking about Lu Jing signaling himself and the others not to speak just now, Tang Zhan still believed in Lu Jing and didn't doubt it......

"Impossible...... That's impossible...... Brother He is an upright man, and he will not be the work of the enemy...... This is definitely not true...... Xiao Tian, who learned the "truth", looked at the corpse of He Yifan who fell to the ground, his eyes were frightened, and his heart was anxious.

Su Jia seemed to see something, but cast an inexplicable look at Zhu Yuanzhang......

And Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were always fixed on Lu Jing - looking at Lu Jing's unpredictable serious expression, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to think of something, and changed the topic: "By the way, it's just right for Qing to come back, I have set a strategy for Luoyang in the past two days, and the needs are discussed...... Army Division, there are a lot of idle people here, Qing and I went to his camp to secretly explain one or two, I don't know if it's okay?"

Lu Jing seemed to understand what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, and silently agreed: "The last general will obey ...... order."

A storm stopped, and finally ended hastily with "He Yifan's death". However, it seems that the matter does not end there, at least in the eyes of Lu Jing, Su Jia and others, things are far more simple than that......

After cleaning up the scene briefly, Lu Jing instructed Tang Zhan and them to go back to the pioneer camp first, while he and Zhu Yuanzhang went to the secluded camp alone to discuss the Luoyang strategy as planned......

The light and shadow of the secluded camp were dark, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Lu Jing entered the camp alone. However, people don't feel suspicious, Zhu Yuanzhang actually let Lu Jing enter the camp first, and as the emperor, he went in later - there were only two people in the camp, Lu Jing had her back to Zhu Yuanzhang, and there was not even a single guard guarding the door outside the door......

"Right here, only Qing and I are left...... Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly changed his tone, and said in a cold tone.

Lu Jing seemed to have guessed it a long time ago, and she didn't sell it, so she said bluntly: "The emperor suddenly asked the last general to come here alone, I'm afraid it's not for Luoyang's strategy......"

"You are really smart...... Zhu Yuanzhang smiled coldly and said slowly, "Since they are all smart people, there is no need to hide it...... I believe that with your wisdom, Miss Lu, you should know why I called you to ......."

"Is He Yifan's business?" Lu Jing didn't turn around, and continued to turn her back to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Yes......" Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "You said that you suspected that He Yifan was a meticulous work of the enemy army, and wanted to do wrongs against me, so you came to escort you...... Do you think I will believe this sudden fabrication?" Zhu Yuanzhang saw through Lu Jing's "lie" at a glance and went straight to the ground.

And Lu Jing's side seems to have a good chance to let ...... more, "Your Majesty, you said that He Yifan was Meng Yuan's meticulous work, and the city of Bianliang was broken, and today he took the military opportunity to tell him about it, and he came to take revenge and assassinate the emperor...... Your Majesty, will you believe this kind of sudden remark, will the last general and others believe it?" Here, Lu Jing asked the same rhetorically, breaking Zhu Yuanzhang's "lie" in one sentence.

"What do you want to say?" Zhu Yuanzhang felt an inexplicable cold sweat in his heart, and couldn't help asking.

"The emperor is a smart man, what the last general thinks in his heart, the emperor knows best, isn't it......" Lu Jing's face was expressionless, but his eyes were very firm, and he said in a low tone, "Is it necessary for the emperor to beware of the last general again and again......?"

"You said I was wary of you......" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.

"Otherwise, why would the emperor lie to the last general and others......" Lu Jing immediately answered, but there was shallow sadness in her eyes.

"Lie, it seems that you really know the truth......" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes changed, as if the most feared thing was still happening, so he simply continued to probe, "In this case, the army division, you can tell me the truth of all these things to see if it is accurate...... "Zhu Yuanzhang touched the saber behind his waist.

Lu Jing seemed to notice, turned around slightly, and said disheartenedly: "Is it necessary...... Even if the truth is told, nothing can be changed - the king lets the minister die, the minister has to die, and the last person will be the emperor, and whether he lives or dies will be in the hands of the emperor, isn't it...... If the truth is told today, the emperor will let me die here, and I will end up the same as He Yifan, rather than this, it is better to bury all this, and I can still settle down in my heart......"

"That's not necessarily ......" Zhu Yuanzhang then smiled, "I appreciate your wisdom, and I hope to hear the 'truth' from your mouth, so that I can feel at ease...... And, as you said, maybe this time to tell the truth will be your last reasoning as a strategist......" After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly pulled out the saber behind his back, revealing a slightly sharp cold glow.

Lu Jing saw the "cold light" behind Zhu Yuanzhang, and seemed to have guessed this, silently closed her eyes for a while, and finally made a decision...... "Since this is the case, finally tell the truth, leave no regrets, and it is not impossible to ......" Lu Jing thought about it, and then said, "Everything has to start with the kendo conference two years ago - two years ago, the Mengyuan Imperial Court funded the summoning of the four major sects in the rivers and lakes, Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Kongtong, and the Nangong family." The Heavenly Demon Divine Skill was recorded as a temptation, gathering Bianliang to try it, but I don't know, but it was to deal with the emperor who was still the king of Wu at that time......"

"Deal with me?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "pretendingly".

"The martial arts sect is hostile to the imperial court, but Meng Yuan took every possible risk to gather the four major sects in Bianliang and hold a sword meeting - this reason has always been suspected by the people of the world, that is, the mystery of the 'kendo conference'......" Lu Jing slowly recounted.

"Listen to what you mean, you seem to already know, everyone in the world wants to know but can't know, the secret of the kendo conference ......" Zhu Yuanzhang asked instead.

"That's right—" Lu Jing said unequivocally and firmly in a low voice, "Two years ago, the last general's friend once broke into the Bianliang Prime Minister's Mansion alone, and accidentally learned the secret of the kendo conference in the library, but for some reason he never made it public...... It wasn't until Bianliang broke through two days ago that the last general accidentally learned that the secret was told to me, and the secret of the kendo conference finally knew ......" The "friend" in Lu Jing's mouth is naturally Su Jia, who broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion alone at night two years ago.

"What was the secret of the kendo conference two years ago?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.

"It's a military secret-" Lu Jing cut the railway, "It's the secret of the Mengyuan Imperial Court in order to deal with the King of Wu at that time, the emperor's military division!"

"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang said in surprise.

"Two years ago, the emperor had not yet proclaimed himself emperor, and led his troops to crusade against warlords such as Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, and his power was strong, shocking the Mengyuan court - but the court learned that the emperor could have such a feat back then, because he used the hands of martial arts forces to gallop through the Central Plains and win a hundred battles, such as the Tang family invited the Red Turban Army, and the disciples of the Xiao family helped him crusade against Zhang Shicheng............" Lu Jing said only one word, "The emperor was born in Mingjiao, and he knows that the martial arts forces control the world;

"How do you return the body?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask knowingly.

"That's the Kendo Conference!" Lu Jing said firmly, "Using the Nangong family's 'Heavenly Demon Divine Skill' as a lure to gather the four major martial arts sects in the city, ostensibly to improve the reputation of the imperial court, but in fact to blind the eyes of the emperor back then - with the emperor's power two years ago, it was enough to compete with the Mengyuan court, if you use the martial arts power again, the Mengyuan court will not be able to protect itself; The kendo conference is an appearance, but in fact, it makes the emperor mistakenly think that the relationship between the martial arts forces and the Mengyuan court is good, so that the emperor can be wary of the people in the martial arts sect, and no longer rely on the power of martial arts, and the Mengyuan court will have to survive; if the luck is good, it will also instigate the emperor to be hostile to the martial arts, intensify the infighting, and lose both, so that the Mengyuan court can benefit from it and sit down and do ......."

"And then ......," Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.

"So at the end of that year, the general friend, who broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion at night, unintentionally learned the truth, and did not make the truth public to the ......world," Lu Jing revealed the secret of the kendo conference, and continued, "Because the four major martial arts factions were all in the city at that time, if this secret is leaked, the Mengyuan Imperial Court will be wiped out, and the four major martial arts factions will be 'closed' in Bianliang, and no one will want to leave alive ......"

Lu Jing's words unintentionally explained the reason why Su Jia kept the "secret of the kendo conference" two years ago.

"But what you said about so many kendo conferences, what does it have to do with me, and what does it have to do with He Yifan?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile, "That's right, the Mengyuan court used this 'internal strife' strategy to deal with me, who was still the king of Wu back then, and I deeply admire it...... But after all, nothing happened to me, after all, the kendo tournament two years ago still didn't end, didn't it......"

"Because of this matter, the emperor knew about it back then......" Lu Jing suddenly lowered her body and said.

"I already knew?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked knowingly.

"That's right, the Mengyuan Imperial Court set up a plan for the 'Kendo Conference', the purpose of which was to deal with the emperor who was still the king of Wu back then......" Lu Jing said, his tone changed, and his eyes were resolute, "But it was the emperor who used this plan in turn - conform to this plan, the emperor, you came to a 'plan to plan' back then!"

Zhu Yuanzhang heard Lu Jing's sudden tone, and his eyes froze...... (To be continued.) )
