Then Yunxi asked casually: "Did Cao Yu catch him?"
Unexpectedly, Guo Zhen said: "Your Highness, Cao Yu was found dead in his own courtyard. When we found the body, it was already August 16th and the body was already rotting."
Yunxi asked seriously: "Is it suicide or homicide?"
Guo Zhen said: "At that time, I personally led the team to arrest the person. When I opened the door, I saw the body lying not far from the door. According to the autopsy, a knife was inserted into the heart from behind, killing him directly."
Yunxi said: "Then he killed him."
Yunxi stood up and stamped his steps and said: "It must be the mastermind behind the scenes who saw something bad going on and killed him to prevent him from being exposed. What a courageous person."
Guo Zhen said: "His Majesty was very angry when he learned about it and asked Lord Tie to investigate it strictly."
Yunxi had calmed down at this time and said: "These days have passed, and it is not easy to find out. It is probably impossible to find out who is behind all this. The current investigation should be just a matter of personnel, listen.
It’s just destiny. Can you find out how much money was taken away by the mastermind behind it?”
Guo Zhen replied: "Your Highness, I remember that their accounts are very messy, and the most important thing is Cao Yu's account is nowhere to be seen. I guess it's difficult."
Yunxi said: "It's a pity that I can't get all the credit this time."
Guo Zhen said: "His Majesty has sent people to Liaodong and arranged for the prince to seal the vassal, but the prince has not inspected the vassal area to see if there is anything similar."
Yunxi said: "It's just to make up for it. But it's useful." Then Yunxi said: "Go down and rest." Guo Zhen withdrew.
Not long after, Lian Zining walked into the place where Yun Xi was staying, saluted and asked, "Where will your Highness go to check the guardhouse tomorrow?"
Yunxi said: "Go to Kaiping Youtun Guards."
Lian Zining replied: "Then I will go and make arrangements." He looked up and saw a look of perseverance on Yun Xi's face, and asked, "Why is Your Highness so angry? Is there anything lacking in the Shanhai Guards today?"
Yunxi replied: "It's not because of Shanhaiwei. You should have known when Guo Zhen came today. He told Gu that Cao Yu was killed, and I'm afraid the mastermind behind it will not be found."
Although Lian Zining was no longer in Yanzhou when he investigated the case, he still knew the circumstances of the case. Hearing this, he comforted him: "If you commit any injustice, you will be punished. Since this person has committed such a big case, he will be discovered one day."
Yun He knew in his heart that he was just comforting him, but he also felt relieved.
After that, Yunxi inspected the guard station near Shanhaiguan for three days. It was not until September 15th that Zhu Di, Zhu Zhi and Zhu Quan arrived at Shanhaiguan.
Zhu Di set out on September 10th and arrived at Shanhaiguan Pass at noon on the 15th. He thought he was the last one to arrive, but when he asked casually, the person sent by Shanhaiwei to greet him replied: "His Royal Highness the King of Yan, Liao Dynasty."
His Highness the King and His Highness Prince Ning have not arrived yet."
Zhu Di suddenly had the same doubts as Yun Xi: 'They are traveling a long way, how dare they not set off in advance, lest something happen on the way and delay the trip?'
When Yunxi came back in the evening, the guard who stayed at the place where he stayed said to Yunxi: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Yan arrived at Shanhaiguan at noon today, and His Royal Highnesses King Liao and King Ning have not arrived yet."
Yunxi was even more confused: 'Did something happen? Are there Mongols attacking the Northeast again?'
So Yunxi said to Lan Zhen: "Send soldiers to Daning and western Liaoning to find out whether Mongolia or other foreign countries are invading the border areas." Lan Zhen agreed and came down.
Yunxi continued walking, intending to meet his fourth uncle Zhu Di. But before he walked a few steps, Zhu Di seemed to appear suddenly, and then said to Yunxi with a smile on his face and very respectfully: "King Yan Zhu Di pays homage to the emperor's grandson
Your Highness." Then he bowed down.
Yunxi was unprepared for Zhu Di's behavior. He never expected that Emperor Yongle recorded in history books would salute in such a straightforward manner. By the time he realized it, Zhu Di had already finished his first bow and was about to start his second bow.
Yunxi knew that although he was the grandson of the emperor, as a junior, he could not accept Zhu Di's full courtesy, so he immediately bent down to help Zhu Di. But his strength was not comparable to that of Zhu Di, who had been a soldier for more than ten years! Zhu Di still finished the job
My own second bow.
Yunxi also immediately said: "My fourth uncle has really offended me. How can I salute my nephew?"
Zhu Di replied: "How can the prince be disrespected?"
Then he gave in for a while, and Yunxi said: "Fourth uncle, it doesn't matter if you and my uncle and nephew are standing here, why not go over there and sit down." Yunxi pointed to a place.
Zhu Di replied: "Everything depends on the prince."
Yunxi immediately said: "My fourth uncle is offended by what he said. Fourth uncle can just call me by my name. Why should I open my mouth and keep silent about the prince?" After another push, Zhu Di refused to call him prince.
The two walked over and sat down. Just as they were about to start talking, someone came to report: "Your Highnesses, His Royal Highnesses King Liao and King Ning have arrived at Shanhaiguan City."
Just after the announcement, Valley King Zhu Su walked in and said: "The fourth brother has arrived? What, haven't the fifteenth brother and the seventeenth brother arrived yet?"
Yunxi said: "No, it was just announced that the fifteenth uncle and the seventeenth uncle have just arrived at Shanhaiguan."
Zhu Su smiled and said: "Why did Brother Fifteen and Brother Seventeen arrive now? Yunxi, you must punish them when they arrive."
As he was talking, a voice came from outside the house: "Who said you want to punish me?"
Then Yunxi saw a big man in full armor walking in. It was Zhu Quan, King of Ning. Following him, Zhu Zhi, King of Liao, also walked in.
Zhu Quan and Zhu Zhi saluted Yunxi, and Yunxi returned the salute. Then Zhu Su said, "I said it, what do you think?"
Zhu Quan smiled and said: "I knew it was you as soon as I guessed it. Fourth brother and Yunxi would not be so frivolous."
The two chatted and laughed again, and Zhu Quan and Zhu Zhi also sat down.
Yunxi asked as gently as possible: "Are there any foreign invaders? The fifteenth uncle and the seventeenth uncle?"
Before Zhu Quan could speak, Zhu Zhi continued: "Yunxi, a few days ago a Mongolian tribe marched from Heilongjiang to the Mongolian headquarters. There are many of them, with six or seven thousand strong men. We are afraid that they will invade the border and have been keeping
We stayed in the fiefdom and didn't dare to move, so we just arrived today."
Yunxi felt relieved when he heard that this was the reason.
Yunxi looked at the four princes in front of him. He was familiar with Zhu Quan and Zhu Su. Zhu Zhi became a vassal in the year Zhu Biao died. Yunxi didn't have much contact with him. He needed to talk more. Look at this Liao Dynasty.
The king's weight.
But the most important thing is King Yan Zhu Di. Yunxi looked at Zhu Di with his peripheral vision.
Zhu Di took over Beiping City in the fifteenth year of Hongwu. At that time, Yun Xi was only five years old, so he had no impression at all. After that, Zhu Di returned to the capital several times and had little contact with him. There is no need to test Zhu Di's tricks. Looking back
The information he had read in his previous life would suffice; what Yunxi wanted to test was Zhu Di's thoughts.
Yunxi had read "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" many times, so he had a very deep memory. He remembered that Zhu Di had thought repeatedly, and only rebelled when Zhu Yunzhen abolished the vassal was imminent, then if he did not reduce the vassal
, will he still rebel?
Zhu Di was so respectful today, which not only did not make Yun Hei relax his vigilance, but made him even more nervous: when something goes wrong, there will be a monster. Who knows what Zhu Di is thinking.
Yunxi had been thinking about this issue almost throughout the evening's family gathering, and discussed the issue with Zhu Di from time to time, which made Zhu Di very confused: Could it be that Yunxi knew what I said casually at home, so he said
