After sending Zhu Yuelan to the entrance of the palace, Chen Kan, who had skipped work for a long time, finally remembered that it was time to go to work.
Wandering to the entrance of Jinyiwei Yamen, I happened to bump into a sleepy Li Jinglong walking in the other direction.
"Hey, brother, what have you done? The new clothes you just wore are so dirty?"
Chen Kan smiled bitterly and said, "Well, it's a long story. To be honest with you, my subordinate almost died on the bank of the Qinhuai River today."
As soon as Chen Kan said this, the way Li Jinglong looked at him changed instantly.
Then he said with a vulgar look: "Well, I didn't expect you to be such a good boy. Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had told you earlier, I would have taken you with me."
Chen Kan's face darkened and he said, "This matter is a long story, let's talk about it after we go in."
"Okay, okay, you and I brothers can exchange experiences."
Li Jinglong showed an expression that all men understand, and urged: "Let's go, let's go."
...
"What?"
"You said you almost died on the Qinhuai River because you met an assassin?"
"Master, please lower your voice."
Chen Kan covered Li Jinglong's loud voice.
He turned around and looked around, making sure that no one heard their conversation, and then whispered: "Otherwise, what do you think?"
"I thought, hey, hey hey, good brother, don't blame me."
Looking at Li Jinglong's idiotic appearance, Chen Kan was speechless.
With such a pig teammate, he is really not optimistic about the prospect of reducing the feudal clan.
Li Jinglong also knew that he had misunderstood Chen Kan. After a chuckle, he changed his tone and said angrily: "I, the Jin Yiwei, have always been the only ones to make trouble for others. I didn't expect that today I would turn against Tiangang. Someone dared to assassinate an official of my Jin Yiwei. It's really boring." ”
Then he slapped his chest loudly and said: "Don't worry, dear brother, this matter is under my care. I will definitely find out the mastermind behind the scenes and cut him into pieces, so that you can breathe out this bad breath."
Chen Kan looked touched and said: "Thank you for your concern, sir. However, my subordinates already know who is behind the scenes. All I need to do is ask my uncle to cut him into pieces."
"oh?"
"Who dares to stroke the beard of our Jin Yiwei?"
"Zhu Jixi."
"How brave!"
Li Jinglong was furious: "Which Zhu Jixi?"
Chen Kan innocently said: "Of course it is the King of Jin Zhu Jixi. Is there another person in the capital who dares to call him Zhu Jixi?"
"Brother Wei suddenly remembered that I haven't paid for my nap in Nucuilou today. I'll see you later, dear brother."
Li Jinglong turned around to leave, but found that he could not move at all.
Looking back, Chen Kanzheng was holding on to his leather belt pitifully.
"well!"
Li Jinglong suddenly sighed.
He looked at Chen Kan and said, "Brother, come with me."
Li Jinglong took Chen Kan into a secret room. After closing the door of the secret room, he came to Chen Kan and asked with a serious face: "Is there a third person who knows about this?"
Chen Kan affirmed: "Yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jinglong's expression turned ugly.
"If Fang Xu, the commander-in-chief of Xing Fang of the Hundred Households, had not come to my rescue today, I am afraid that my worthy brother would have died before he left the army.
"But they didn't get any clues about the assassin. Naturally, I wouldn't be stupid enough to tell them my guess."
Hearing what Chen Kan said, Li Jinglong's face looked a little better.
He nodded slowly and said: "The matter of reducing the vassalage is of great importance. The fewer people who know about it, the better. This Fang Xu and the Jin Yiwei under his command cannot be kept."
Hearing this, Chen Kan couldn't help but frown.
No matter what, Fang Xu saved his life today when he was in the most critical moment.
Chen Kan asked himself that he was not a good person, but he could not repay kindness with hatred.
When Li Jinglong looked at Chen Kan's face, how could he not know what he was thinking.
He shook his head and said in a deep voice: "My dear brother, if you want to achieve great things, you must not have the kindness of a woman."
Chen Kan understands the truth. Until now, the issue of reducing vassal status is still a taboo topic that no one in the court dares to mention.
But Chen Kan couldn't do it to kill a few living lives for this reason.
Not to mention his own savior.
"My lord, didn't you say that I have a thousand households under my command at my disposal? Can you transfer this person to my command?"
Li Jinglong shook his head and said, "What if he leaks the secret?"
Chen Kan said: "Although the matter of reducing the vassal has not yet been brought to the table, everyone knows very well, what kind of secrets can he reveal? Besides, this matter itself is not their fault. If they want to kill, Zhu Jixi should also be killed. .”
"This matter will affect the whole body, so we can't take this risk."
Li Jinglong was still a little hesitant.
What everyone knows, risk your ass.
Chen Kan impatiently took out the memorial written in the morning from his sleeve and handed it to him: "Young master, don't worry, I have a perfect plan. You will know it as soon as you see it."
Li Jinglong took the memorial from Chen Kan with a suspicious look on his face.
I'm thinking that I've been doing this for so long without having a clue, and you have a perfect solution in just one day?
Make a fool of yourself!
He opened the memorial with suspicion, and the four "strategies to reduce the feudal vassal" came into Li Jinglong's eyes.
"Deprive him of his power, keep his title, and keep the kings in captivity."
Looking at the ten little words at the beginning, his expression became serious.
It's true that Li Jinglong is a fool, but that doesn't mean he can't tell the difference between good and bad.
Chen Kan's memorial directly clarified the future court's attitude towards the kings from the first sentence.
He patiently looked down, and the more he looked at Li Jinglong, the more frightened he became.
"Hiss~"
After reading the contents of the memorial, Li Jinglong couldn't help but sucked in a breath of air as if he was chewing his teeth.
Then he put the memorial directly on the candle and lit it.
It wasn't until he saw that the memorial was completely burned to ashes that he looked at Na Na and said, "Brother Xian, this is too cruel."
Chen Kan shook his head and said: "The harm of the vassal kings to the country can be seen from your Majesty's arrest this time. If you want the Ming Dynasty to be stable for a long time, it is not enough just to confiscate the military power of the kings. This is also for our benefit." Consider how many days future generations can live in peace."
Li Jinglong frowned and said: "But if we take away their military power and take away their feudal states, there is no guarantee that they will not directly rebel."
Chen Kan said: "This is what your Majesty needs to consider."
Li Jinglong rubbed his chin, and after a while, he still shook his head and said, "I have to ask His Majesty what he wants about this matter first."
"My subordinates think so too. In view of the fact that my subordinates are so quiet about this matter, I am afraid that I will have to trouble my father-in-law to go to the palace in person."
As soon as Chen Kan said this, Li Jinglong's eyes suddenly lit up.
Is Chen Kan's strategy feasible? It's very feasible.
And Chen Kan actually asked him to go to the palace to offer advice. Doesn't that mean he is willing to give up this credit?
Li Jinglong said coyly: "Brother Xian, logically speaking, this is your plan..."
"What's the difference between you and me as brothers? Anyway, it's all our brothers' credit for success. If it doesn't happen, we brothers will be beheaded together. If the father-in-law says so, we will be separated."
