Taking advantage of the cover of night, Ye Chen and others set out on the road again, but this time they were not sneaky. They transformed into twenty riders in bright clothes and armor and rode the official road.

At three o'clock in the morning, Ye Chen ordered everyone to dismount and rest where they were. This decision puzzled Li Miaoxi's personal guards.

"Ye Baihu, we were attacked by unknown forces last night. Now we are resting here so openly. Isn't it too ostentatious?" the guard was saying.

Ye Chen turned around and looked at the guards standing behind him. He was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "I haven't thanked the general for his rescue last night. I don't know what to call him?"

"General Jin Zhenghua, the little things last night are not worth mentioning." Jin Zhenghua said.

Ye Chen stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, General Jin."

"Young Master Ye, you don't have to be like this. All the brothers in the army call me Hua Zi. You can just call me Hua Zi, Mr. Ye, or you can just call me Jin Zhenghua."

"I'd better call him Kim Captain." Seeing this, Kim Zhenghua didn't force himself.

Ye Chen continued: "When it comes to leading troops in battles, I am definitely not as good as those veterans who have been in the military for many years as a rookie, but when it comes to small strategies, I think I still have a little bit of knowledge."

"Please also Mr. Ye, please tell me clearly."

Ye Chen walked in front of Jin Zhenghua and whispered: "Last night's assassination must have been planned for a long time. Captain Jin has also seen the strength of that group of people. It's not that I destroy my own prestige and increase the ambition of others. These few

How many times can ten soldiers withstand assassinations? It is easy to block open arrows, but difficult to prevent hidden arrows. The more we create this scene of wide-open doors at this time, the less those who act in secret will dare to do anything without permission."

Jin Zhenghua: "It's an empty city plan, but if the person behind the scenes is that stupid person, wouldn't it be self-defeating?"

Ye Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry!"

Seeing that Ye Chen was so confident, Jin Zhenghua found it difficult to ask further questions. Moreover, before leaving last night, Li Miaoxi specifically told him that he would do everything as ordered.

In the grass on the side of the official road not far from Ye Chen and others, two people were lying in the grass and staring closely at Ye Chen. One of them said: "They are so blatant, could it be a trap?"

"The status of the envoy is so noble, but they don't dare to commit fraud, so there must be fraud here. You continue to watch here, I will go back and tell Mr. Li."

At this time, Ye Chen felt uncomfortable all over. He always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark, so he winked at Xiao, who then quietly left the official road.

In the imperial city of Gyeonggi Province, Lai Si, who has become the chief minister of the cabinet, stands in the military aircraft pavilion with a sad face, while the emperor Zhu Chengyuan in front of him seems to be in an unusually good mood.

"Your Majesty, this is the first reward I have received since becoming the chief minister of the cabinet. You can't just take it back."

"Lai Si, I wonder if you can be of some use! The majestic chief minister of the cabinet, the leader of the world's most powerful ministers, actually spent the whole morning with me for a mere one hundred taels of silver."

"Your Majesty, you are clearly aware that you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Every penny I have has to be handed over to the tigress at home. Besides, I don't know which year my current salary is deducted. Even this one hundred taels

If all my rewards are withheld from you, then you will never be able to enter my house."

Zhu Chengyuan still stood with his hands behind his hands, as if he hadn't heard Lai Si's words at all. The large sand table in front of him clearly marked the mountains, rivers, official roads, and small roads in Annan Province and Gyeonggi Province.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at the sand table and thought for a moment and then said: "Lai Si, do you think he will take action halfway?"

Lai Si put away his mean look, straightened his back, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, do you want to hear the truth or be obedient?"

"When did you learn this trick? Come on, tell me." His Majesty the Emperor said impatiently, obviously paying great attention to this doubt in his heart.

Lai Si analyzed: "Your Majesty, if it were me, I would not do this. It will not be of any benefit to the country. If a country is not stable, how can we ensure the integrity of this country's territory and ensure that its subjects enjoy peace and prosperity?"

!But based on my understanding of King Jingwen, he will try his best to organize the envoys from Shijiu and Lier Kingdoms to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit."

Emperor Zhu Chengyuan frowned slightly. He knew his fourth brother better than anyone else. Ever since he ascended the throne that year, the two brothers had become strangers. Even when they went to Beijing to report their duties once a year, the two brothers had no words.

Although Zhu Chengyuan knew that Jingwen King Zhu Chengcan had different intentions and had a lot of evidence in his hands, he still couldn't let go of his half-brother.

Hand. To this day, he still remembers the scene when Concubine Yao entrusted her son Zhu Chengcan to him before she died.

His Majesty the Emperor: "Lai Si, this fourth brother of mine has been petty-minded since he was a child and could not tolerate anyone better than him. I still remember that when I was young, my father always liked to scrutinize the lessons of our brothers. Then

When my mother and concubine were away, I devoted all my time to military affairs and country governance. Regarding those Confucian classics and Taoist teachings,

I know it very well. Therefore, among the princes, I am always the most outstanding. At that time, I was deeply loved by my father. It is precisely because of this that my fourth brother and I have been at odds with each other since we were young. At that time, my mother

The concubine left early, and if it hadn’t been for the care given to me by Concubine Yao, it’s unclear whether I could have survived within this palace wall.”

Lai Si: "So even if Your Majesty knows that King Jingwen has done something illegal, he will not punish him easily."

Emperor Zhu Chengyuan: "Even if brothers from ordinary families turn against each other, as time goes by and their temperament settles, no matter how big the conflict is, how can it be greater than the love of blood? But my fourth brother is this special one.

, every year when I go to Beijing to report on my work, I really hope that he can take the initiative to say a word to me, even if

Just high-sounding greetings will do, and I will happily accept them, but he is just a stinky stone in that pit, and it can't stink any more! At that time, when Concubine Harrier was still alive, she would often hold our hands and say that we are

Brothers, we must take care of each other when we grow up. Chengchan always throws away his hands and runs away. To be honest, I don’t blame him at all, I can even understand him.

Understand him. For no reason, there was an extra person sharing the love of his mother and concubine with him, even more than what he got himself. Who wouldn't be angry? Besides, he was still a child at that time! Later, I became the emperor.

Chengcan became more aggressive, as if he knew that I would not do anything to him. Later, I also placed a few people around him,

They tried to use their extraordinary talents to help my fourth brother, but none of them survived, not because they were found to be the people I sent, but because their preaching to Chengcan angered him, but

I do not blame him for this, as long as he does not harm the country of China and does not harm my people, I can let him go."

Lai Si listened with rapt attention and thought even more deeply.
