"Of course, it's rude to come back without reciprocating, what do you think?"
Yao Guangxiao kicked the ball back.
Xu Qin was so surprised that he was stunned for a moment.
The demon monk has a close relationship with Zhu Di throughout his life. Their demands are highly consistent and they are honest with each other and do not hide anything.
He must have obtained Zhu Di's permission before coming, and then he dared to lift the veil.
"Master, so your Majesty wants to use the hands of the younger generation to continue to attack the arrogance of the new elites in Jingnan?"
Xu Qin was straightforward and opened the window to speak frankly.
"clever."
Yao Guangxiao nodded in agreement, "Now, the Jingnan upstarts are preparing to settle accounts with the Jianwen generals. This is undoubtedly a bad sign for the first year of Yongle."
"Whether they are Jianwen's old ministers or surrendered generals, behind them are the burning eyes of Jianghuai scholars, who pay close attention to every move of the new dynasty."
"Settling old scores after the fall is a sign of the court's loss of credibility. It shows that today's society is not open to all rivers."
"Once this impression becomes reality, the only remaining hope of the scholars will be lost, and the world will be in chaos."
"Therefore, this tendency must be resolutely suppressed."
Xu Qin didn't need to think carefully, Yao Guangxiao had already made it clear enough.
"Master, do you want the younger generation to start from this conflict between Jiang Fangjun and Ulliangha, and slowly uncover the fig leaf to appease the new rich?"
"Exactly."
Yao Guangxiao nodded and said:
"While cracking down on the upstarts, Sheng Yong and others can be quietly brought to the prince's side."
It can be heard that this is killing two birds with one stone by the demon monk.
It's just that the other bird was added by the demon monk himself.
This was not Zhu Di's original intention.
The palace struggle is a game between you and me, and you among me.
"Master, these juniors can do it, but His Majesty sometimes has unclear rewards and punishments. He just deducted half a year's salary for no reason. I really can't live this life anymore."
He stopped pretending.
This kid is interesting, not only can he play rogue, but he is also a money addict.
Before Yao Guangxiao could answer, Xu Qin lay straight back on the bed and hummed:
"Junior is dying. Now I am even more seriously ill. Please ask the master to go back and revive me."
Yao Guangxiao heard and saw all this and was so angry that his nose was crooked.
"Mr. Xu, it's not like you don't know the tricks of the poor monk. I would like to advise you, you must know how to do things in a proper way. Don't toast or drink as a penalty."
Hearing the demon monk's threat for the first time, Xu Qin shuddered slightly.
But he soon calmed down.
"Reporting to Master, you must be kind and kind. This junior is now being pushed forward by Your Majesty and you."
"First of all, we wanted to appease the minds of scholars all over the world. We thought of carrying out educational reforms and establishing Taixuetang, Daxuetang, Military Hall, etc."
"Then, let me deal with the matter of King Ning's fiefdom and the return of the three damn Wuliangha guards to Daning."
"A few days ago, I was also in charge of the General Affairs Department, and now I'm asking the juniors to come forward to fight against the upstarts headed by Qiu Fu."
"These tasks are all offensive! They are no less than charging in front of the battle line, going through life and death."
"But instead of giving me a reward, His Majesty fined me half a year's salary. It's too much!"
After hearing this, Yao Guangxiao looked stern and retorted, "Your Majesty did this for Qiu Fu and the others."
"Today I will confiscate half a year's salary of you. Maybe in a few days His Majesty will reward you with gold and silver of one year's salary or several years' salary. I don't know for sure."
"In short, as a minister, you cannot resist His Majesty."
"What else do you want now? Are you planning to collude with the remnants of Jianwen and rebel?"
These words frightened Xu Qin so much that he jumped up from the bed again and shouted:
"Master! Why did you say this? You can't talk nonsense?"
"Talking nonsense? Monks don't lie."
Yao Guangxiao lowered his face and continued:
"I'm here to ask you, were the twenty assassins at the Liuhe Ancient Road Station really intercepted and killed by you and your servants?"
"No third party to help?"
"Why do you hide it from His Majesty? Don't you understand that this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
"No, why do you want me to hide the truth? I didn't do anything shameful!"
Xu Qin had a plan for this. He was calm and composed, and his expression did not change.
"It's okay to tell you the truth. During the autopsy, Jin Yiwei found that the knife blades on the deceased were different. They were not killed by two types of sharp blades, but at least five or six types."
"Furthermore, the sword techniques are different, which shows that not all people were killed by your master and servant."
"The emperor is worried that you have been deceived, or led astray, and have some connection with the Jianwen Party members."
Yao Guangxiao didn't want to hide anything anymore and came clean.
Xu Qin is the only one who can help realize his dream and reverse the decline of the Ming Dynasty in the decades after Zhu Di.
Of course he didn't want Xu Qin to be executed by Zhu Di now.
Xu Qin couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said in a deep voice:
"Master, it's normal to have five or six kinds of sharp blades on site."
"My Chixia Sword is not with me. When the assassin came in, I only had a wrist-removing knife in my hand."
"First, I used the wrist-removing knife to deal with two of them, took the assassin's simple knife, and killed the two assassins at the door."
"Then, he defeated the enemies who attacked from the door and window, and then rushed out and used his sword and Yanling knife to shoot left and right."
"My servant Xu Sheng rushed in from outside. He also grabbed a sword to kill the enemy, or used his own weapon."
"As for the techniques, different weapons will naturally lead to different killing methods. This is understandable."
Xu Qin spoke eloquently, and Zhu Di had a basis for his inference.
Although Yao Guangxiao is not a martial arts master, he is knowledgeable and knowledgeable about martial arts weapons.
He understood the basic truth of what Xu Qin described.
"Okay, let me and the emperor explain this matter clearly."
"Let's get down to business. What else do you think we need to do our best for the Emperor?"
Yao Guangxiao did not digress, he stuck to the theme.
"I want a helper, someone who can take responsibility and carry things with me."
Yao Guangxiao couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Master Xu, if you look at the civil and military forces of the dynasty, who has a harder and stronger foundation than you?"
"Say who can carry it with you, I will agree to it immediately."
Xu Qin smiled cunningly and said:
"Master can carry it, but don't worry, the junior's temple is too small, so I don't dare to ask the seniors to help."
I haven’t been helping you all the time. How else do you want to help?
What a heartless little scoundrel!
Yao Guangxiao was thinking so in his heart, but he remained silent on the surface, "Then... who else can it be?"
"Of course it's my eldest cousin."
"Crown Prince?!"
Yao Guangxiao was stunned when he heard this.
When Queen Xu met him a few days ago, she mentioned that he should be the chief master of Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi, that is, the crown prince's grand master.
To put it bluntly, he just wanted to use Yao Guangxiao's ability to protect Zhu Gaochi.
She also realized that Big Fatty was kind but weak in strength.
But he was already the prince's young master, and he didn't want to interfere too much and take all the affairs of the prince's residence into his own hands.
This goes against his free-spirited way of life.
