Ji Gang never thought that he would also go to prison.
A few days ago, he was the high-ranking commander of the Royal Guards, with countless court hawks, dogs, jackals, tigers and leopards under his command. He never imagined that within a few days, he would suddenly be labeled as a rebel and thrown into prison with his life and death uncertain. .
"Master Ji, I'm here to visit you."
In the dark prison, a bright flame suddenly appeared, and a man holding a candlestick slowly walked over.
Ji Gang gritted his teeth: "Luo Xiu, what a skill!"
The man in front of him is named Luo Xiu, and he is the commander of the Jinyi Guards.
This person was originally just a pawn under Ji Gang, but this pawn, who was not taken seriously by Ji Gang, took advantage of the thick darkness of night to lead people into Ji Gang's house, fabricated "evidence of rebellion" that was false, and... More than 40 important officials of the imperial court were imprisoned and became the top leaders of Jin Yiwei overnight.
Ji Gang stared at the person in front of him: "Are you from the King of Han?"
Luo Xiu chuckled and said, "My allegiance has always been to Prince Han."
Ji Gang took a deep breath, knowing that he had failed.
The King of Han, who seemed not to be good at using his brain, had already planted chess pieces around Ji Gang.
But Luo Xiu, an inconspicuous chess piece, accurately locked Ji Gang's throat!
"Master Ji, don't blame the younger one for doing everything right. It's the path you chose."
Luo Xiu said with a smile, "Jinyiwei's job is so offending. You said that if you don't find a good backer, you might suddenly die suddenly one day. In the end, Prince Han and you are helping each other, and you can help When Prince Han works, Prince Han protects you. Isn’t that good? But how do you repay Prince Han?”
Ji Gang said coldly: "I have never betrayed the King of Han!"
"I know, and Prince Han also knows it." Luo Xiu said nonchalantly, "But in your heart, are you really loyal to Prince Han?"
Ji Gang was speechless for a moment.
It is true that not only the King of Han distrusted Ji Gang, but Ji Gang was also dissatisfied with the King of Han.
Ji Gang knew very well that in the Jinyiwei profession, there had never been any commanders who died well.
The first commander, Mao Xiang, could not be said to be indifferent to Emperor Taizu Gao. He was the executor of Hu Weiyong's bloody plan. However, because of the extensive involvement in this case, he naturally became a victim of the royal family's attempt to stabilize power and was eliminated. Emperor Gao Zhu Yuanzhang executed him to quell public outrage.
The second commander, Jiang Yu, Mao Xiang's successor, exposed Lan Yu's rebellion in the 26th year of Hongwu. He was a direct participant and executor of this rebellion, implicating tens of thousands of people. Jiang Yu was killing Emperor Taizu Gao After becoming a human being, he also loses the value of his existence and is given a glass of poisonous wine.
[A book-chasing book recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, @
We went forward and backward, but once a grudge arose in the King of Han's heart, he would eradicate me without hesitation. This is King Han. Do you think you will be the next me? "
"Master Ji is really articulate. Even though he was sent to prison, he still has such a tough mouth." Luo Xiu felt a pain point in his heart and said with a sinister smile.
He is indeed a little scared now.
If the King of Han could eradicate Ji Gang, his old minister, with such fierce force, wouldn't he use the same method to get rid of him, Luo Xiu?
Ji Gang said quietly: "The thing that I, Ji Gang, regret most in my life is getting involved in the mess of seizing the legitimate son. Once you fall into this quagmire, you will never be able to escape no matter how hard you struggle."
Luo Xiu asked indifferently: "Is Master Ji saying his last words?"
"Last words? That's right, but..." Ji Gang suddenly smiled ferociously, "These last words are for you!"
Luo Xiu frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"
"Idiot, an incurable idiot!" Ji Gang laughed, "I, Ji Gang, fell into the hands of an idiot like you, hahaha!"
Luo Xiu felt uneasy inexplicably, and became angry and got up and kicked Ji Gang in the chest!
The black iron shackles made a clanking sound, and Ji Gang fell to the ground. His chest felt heavy and painful, but he still couldn't help but laugh wildly.
"Damn thing, you don't know when you are about to die!" Luo Xiu cursed angrily, spat on Ji Gang's face, and turned around angrily and left.
"Hahaha...ahem..."
The prison was once again plunged into darkness, but the corners of Ji Gang's mouth couldn't stop twitching as he sneered and murmured, "It's you who are about to die, Luo Xiu."
"Who do you think you are fighting against? King Qi, the Crown Prince, any one of them can make you die inexplicably. Do you really think the King of Han can protect you?"
"Why am I disappointed with King Han?"
"It's because the King of Han is not a fool, but his opponent is too powerful. King Qi and the Crown Prince are terrifying figures that you and other ants can only dream of. They can turn clouds and rain with their hands, and they are masters of conspiracy and calculation. King Han, will Those who were played to death by them don’t even know how they died.”
"It seems that King Qi and the Crown Prince are at a disadvantage, but do you really think they have lost?"
Ji Gang's silent eyes gradually closed, and only his echo remained in the darkness.
"Not long after, when the King of Han discovers that he has been defeated miserably, Luo Xiu, you will be the next me. You will become the scapegoat of the King of Han's party and be crushed to pieces by King Qi and the Crown Prince."
….
"Luo Xiu, I, Ji Gang, am waiting for you on the Huangquan Road."
…
Zhu Gaojie, who returned to the palace from the royal study, threw the secret letter in his hand into the candlelight, and the pages were burned into flying ashes.
Zhu Gaojie said to himself calmly: "The one who knows me is the prince."
"What do you mean?" A Qi asked doubtfully, "You want to trick the prince?"
"It's not the prince this time... huh?" Zhu Gaojie raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean by this? Is this the image I have in your mind?"
A Qi curled his lips and said, "No, you are too dirty. If I were to dig out your heart from your chest, it would be as black as an ingot."
"Aqi, I remember when we were in Jiaozhi, your mouth was not so broken." Zhu Gaoxi held his forehead.
If you ask who is the best "Qi Hei" in the world, it must be A Qi!
The corners of A Qi's mouth slightly raised under his mask: "I've been with you for a long time, and I feel dirty when I'm close to you."
"Oh, really?" Zhu Gaojie said with a bad smile, "Let me see if something is unclean!"
"No, Your Majesty!"
"Obey, let me see!"
"don't want!"
Aqi always felt that something was not right, but he couldn't put it into words, as if he was already in "Jie" and couldn't escape.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's get down to business now."
Zhu Gaojie threw a seal to A Qi, "Go to the Three Thousand Battalion and ask Chi Rong, the admiral of the Three Thousand Battalion, to lead two hundred knights into the city. I will let him pass in the name of supervising the country."
A Qi took the seal and saw that it was a large seal of the capital's customs defense. With this seal, one could lead troops into the city.
"King Qi, do you want to rebel?" A Qi suddenly asked.
"***Would you like to listen to what you are saying?" Zhu Gaojie almost fell over after hearing this.
"Then why did you let three thousand battalions enter the city?" A Qi was puzzled.
"Can two hundred cavalry still turn the world upside down?" Zhu Gaojie said tiredly, "Do you really think the emperor is not wary of me at all? Although I have the power to supervise the country, I can nominally mobilize the three major battalions in the capital and all over the country. Guard station, but in fact, this big seal in my hand can only mobilize 200 people at most. If it weren’t for the good relationship between me and the admiral of the 3000 Battalion, even these 200 people would not be able to be mobilized.”
There is a big difference between "nominally" and "actually".
It is true that Zhu Gaojie is now the "Acting Emperor of the Ming Dynasty" and the "Executive Deputy Emperor of the Ming Dynasty". He can nominally mobilize all the troops in the Ming Dynasty, including hundreds of thousands of border troops in the nine-border towns.
But this is only in name. Zhu Gaojie is eligible for transfer, but he doesn't have the tiger talisman!
Who would listen to you if you don’t have a tiger talisman?
It’s okay to bully and bully civil servants in the name of the Supervisory State. Without the tiger talisman, you, the Supervisory State, will not care about the military.
When Zhu Di went to Jiming Temple, he did not forget to take the tiger talisman with him, so he left Zhu Gaojie this security seal that could only allow 200 people to pass. This security seal was symbolic.
The Guan Fang Seal is different from the Tiger Talisman. The function of the Tiger Talisman is to "mobilize troops", while the function of the Guan Fang Seal is to "pass".
If you go to the general to mobilize troops with the Guan Fang Seal, the general will only look at you like a fool.
"Now that Luo Xiu is in charge of the Jinyi Guards, and Lu Chaoyang is still in prison, Beizhen Fusi has been locked up." Zhu Gaojie said slowly, "Just take a look at the ceremonial guards of Prince Qi's Mansion. It’s all just showy, and I don’t have many people I can use. If Chirong, the admiral of the Three Thousand Battalion, doesn’t give him face and refuses to mobilize troops, I have no choice but to admit defeat.”
A Qi laughed disdainfully upon hearing this.
The words that came out of King Qi's mouth were no different from farts. He was either lying or preparing to lie!
If King Qi looks like he is helpless, don’t hesitate, he is definitely trying to trick you into the hole he dug long ago!
King Qi said, "Chirong may not necessarily obey my orders." When it reached A Qi's ears, it was automatically converted into "Chirong will definitely obey my orders!"
Only people who don't understand King Qi will hesitate. Nine out of ten people who know King Qi have grass on their tombs that is already two feet high.
Poor Atu
