Jie Jin blinked, with an unpredictable smile on his face.

In the sweet potato field not far away, the supervisors who had worked hard for a long time kept praising the sweetness of the sweet potatoes.

When people are eating, all disputes will temporarily stop.

Zhu Yunxi stared at Jie Jin with some uncertainty: "Could it be true? Don't you know who else is in Fengyang?"

According to what Xie Jin said, the reason for going to Fengyang was to represent the imperial court and attend the funeral of Duke Xin.

but!

The crippled man is also in Fengyang.

Zhu Yunxi has not seen him for several years since he was demoted to a useless person and imprisoned in Fengyang.

Not long ago, he got married in Fengyang. Although it was handled according to the level of a county king, the court only sent an official from the Ministry of Rites to go there.

After many years of separation, Zhu Yunxi still clearly remembers the scene when he saw Zhu Yunwen off at Dongshuiguan Pier.

I just don’t know what the other party’s situation and appearance will be like now.

If he goes to Fengyang, he will definitely not miss Zhu Yunzhen.

Jie Jin looked at Zhu Yunxi, who was thinking in his eyes, and after pondering, he changed his words: "The negotiation between the imperial court and the Oara tribe's envoy Mahamu is about to end, and the terms of negotiation between the DPRK and the Oara tribe have been basically reached, although there are still some

There may be conflicts, but for now, the priority is to make good relations, and conflicts will be put aside for the time being.”

The Oara tribe sent envoys to respond to the sky this time, but in fact they only asked for a few points.

The military core of the Ming Dynasty outside the Great Wall still focused on the Mongolian Tatar tribe on the east side. The Ming Dynasty needed the forces outside the Great Wall to disperse and prevent them from uniting together. The Oara tribe also needed to develop silently, trying to capture the vast grasslands.

, to break into a new world.

Both sides know what the other side thinks, and all negotiations and conditions are plots on the table. It depends on who can win and have the last laugh.

The imperial court was almost ready to negotiate good terms with Mahamu.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes darkened slightly: "Are you not planning to let me stay in Yingtian for the New Year?"

"Why did your Highness say this?"

Xie Jin immediately looked shocked and stared at Zhu Yunxi with a somewhat sulky face in confusion.

"Hmph!" Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly and said quietly: "Attending the funeral of Duke Xin on behalf of the imperial court, I am afraid that the crippled man will also have to meet me.

After the incident in Fengyang is over, Mahamu will probably return to the grassland from Yingtian.

Let me think about it...which important minister the imperial court will send to accompany me out of the capital."

Xie Jin shook his head repeatedly: "The cabinet has not thought so, why does His Highness say so?"

This deputy minister of the cabinet looked innocent, with a look of confusion and surprise on his face.

Zhu Yunxi snorted repeatedly, with an unhappy expression on his face: "It must be Gao Chunfeng! If there is an important minister in the court, who can compare with Minister Wenyuan Pavilion today?"

Ren Hengtai is the chief minister and cannot leave the capital easily. You are the head of Xinxue and you need to pay close attention to the new policy. Wei Guogong is from the Governor's Office. It seems that he attended the funeral of Duke Xin and went to the grassland to negotiate with the Oara tribe.

It won't bother him to get married.

Gao Chunfeng is the youngest, so he is naturally the best candidate for such a long journey.

If this is really the case... After the visit to Fengyang, Gao Chunfeng, the cabinet minister in charge of the three law divisions, must be inspecting the River Governor's Mansion during the winter. If the court is to allocate so much money and food, it will have to ask the court

People inside can see the current results with their own eyes.

After we go outside the Great Wall and discuss matters with the Oara tribe, do we still need to patrol the border? After all, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Beijing until this time next year."

God knows why I have to do so many things!

With just one sentence from Xie Jin, Zhu Yunxi figured out his next plan in a short time.

Obviously, this matter has nothing to do with the cabinet at all, and can only be decided by the old man.

It's just that I clearly wanted to stay in Yingtian with peace of mind and supervise the affairs of the Meritorious Mausoleum. How could I be kicked out of Yingtian now and be involved in such a big circle outside?

This is what Zhu Yunxi cannot understand the most.

It doesn't make sense.

Xie Jin indeed showed a clumsy expression of realization, clapped his hands and said: "Your Highness is really quick-witted and brave. The cabinet is indeed discussing these matters, but it originally wanted officials to go out of the capital to deal with them.

But what His Highness said actually connected all these things together. Calculating it this way, it turned out to be the easiest way and the most reassuring way for the court.

I'm just afraid that it will be hard for Your Highness, having to travel thousands of miles and work by boat and carriage."

"Jie Dashen!"

Zhu Yunxi drank in a low voice and looked at Xie Jin, who had no acting talent, with cold eyes.

Xie Jin's face perked up, he cupped his hands and nodded, saying, "I'm here."

Why……

Zhu Yunxi sighed: "Tell me, how did you and my old man discuss it, and what was the purpose?"

Jie Jin blinked: "I have not discussed anything with His Majesty, let alone any purpose..."

While speaking, Xie Jin's eyes were secretly looking at Zhu Yunxi, carefully observing the changes in the expression on his face.

Zhu Yunxi glared and cursed: "If I don't say anything else, you, the Wenyuan Pavilion Cabinet Minister, will stay in Shanglinyuan Prison digging sweet potatoes for the rest of your life!"

stingy!

Jie Jin moved his mouth, shook his head, and whispered: "Your Majesty wants you to walk around more in the past two years to see what the scene is like in various places in the Ming Dynasty. Take a trip to Jiubian,

It’s not just for the sake of establishing a good relationship with the Oara tribe. There are hundreds of thousands of troops guarding the nine sides, and the clan kings are away all year round. Your Majesty’s intention..."

"Is the old man making arrangements for his death?"

Zhu Yunxi's eyes silently felt a little lonely, and his tone became calmer.

Xie Jin shook his head repeatedly: "I would never dare to think so."

I don’t dare to think about it, but that’s the fact.

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "This is a plan. Now that I can leave the capital at will, I made such an arrangement. Let's see what the various places are like, so that we won't be deceived by the local authorities in the future.

A trip to Jiubian also made me understand the true nature of those clan princes and uncles, and it also made me, the grandson of the emperor Xuanwei, a Jiubian frontier army."

Jie Jin blinked and said a long time ago that he was not suitable to do such a thing of cheating the emperor's grandson. However, Ren Hengtai, an old man with a righteous speech, was born as a courtesy official, let alone such a thing.

His beloved disciple Gao Chunfeng was also thin-skinned. When Wei Guogong encountered such things, he always pretended to be asleep.

After all the calculations, with such a large cabinet, such errands fell on me.

Xie Jin nodded: "Actually, this was the original plan for the Crown Prince to leave Beijing two years ago. However, something like that happened to the Crown Prince at that time, so this matter was temporarily stopped.

In the past two years, the imperial court will implement the New Deal. How it will fare in the local area can only be known by His Highness himself. With the spring breeze accompanying us, when Your Highness returns to Beijing, I and others in the cabinet will know the advantages and disadvantages of the New Deal."

Zhu Yunxi hummed twice again.

The prince and his father definitely don’t need ministers who care about their lives.

According to today's words, Jie Jin and the others are appointed by the old man to be his ministers to take care of their lives.

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but frown. Recently, the old man often lamented that he was old and no longer what he used to be.

This is not a very good sign.

But according to the original process, now in the 28th year of Hongwu, there will still be...

Zhu Yunxi shook his head, unwilling to think too much about this issue.

Suddenly he learned that he was about to be kicked out of Yingtian City, and he would have to wander outside for a whole year, travel thousands of miles, and make a big circle before he could respond to Tiancheng again.

Zhu Yunxi also stayed in the Shanglinyuan Prison to watch the gang of supervisors digging sweet potatoes.

After patting him, Zhu Yunxi glanced at Xie Jin.

" Mr. Xie is becoming more and more mature now. He seems to be incapable of pretending, but in fact he is the best at pretending.

Let’s go and go back to the palace to talk to my old man about this matter.”

Xie Jin, who was exposed, looked embarrassed.

He just nodded and cupped his hands.

"I respectfully send you off to Your Highness."

…

"I will see you, Your Highness."

In front of Huagai Hall, four people, Gao Yangzhi, Bai Yuxiu, Ma Hongqing and Niu Dafu, dressed in official robes of their respective ranks, stood beside the hall door and saluted Zhu Yunxi who had just returned from Shanglin Garden Prison.

Things are not that simple at all!

Zhu Yunxi thought about the old man's plan to drive him away from Yingtian City all the way to the Huagai Hall.

The shouts of Gao Yangzhi and the four people finally woke him up.

He raised his head and looked at the four people beside the palace door, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Did the old man start making arrangements so soon?
