Zhu Di's appointment was caught off guard. Logically speaking, such a big matter as sending an imperial envoy to the feudal king's territory should be discussed in the court.
But Zhu Di appointed him without hesitation.
Chen Kan was stunned for a moment, but Li Jinglong on the side was overjoyed.
As soon as his knees softened, he knelt in front of Zhu Di and said excitedly: "My lord, Li Jinglong, accept the order!"
Zhu Di looked at Chen Kan again and said with a smile: "Then Guanzhong and Shuzhong..."
Before Zhu Di could finish speaking, Chen Kan shook his head and refused: "Your Majesty, I can't go. I plan to take part in the county examination held in Shangyuan County in August."
Zhu Di frowned, then relaxed.
"I was negligent. In that case, I'll let Xie Jin make a trip."
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Di came to Jinyiwei just to eavesdrop on the conversation between Chen Kan and Li Jinglong, and to give Li Jinglong a legal identity when he wanted to cut down his clan.
After a few words, the atmosphere in the cell became silent.
Zhu Di glanced at Li Jinglong, and Li Jinglong resigned.
Since you have decided to cut down the feudal vassal, the sooner the better.
Chen Kan felt a little melancholy at the thought of not being able to see Li Jinglong for at least several months.
If we get into trouble again now, there will be no one to take the blame.
As soon as Li Jinglong left, Chen Kan faced the two strong men Zhu Di and Dao Yan alone.
Chen Kan said that Yali Mountain is big!
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"Let's go and accompany me to see Prince Jin."
The two of them talked about their own things, but Chen Kan did not dare to insist on his opinion, so he had to follow Zhu Di towards the cell where Zhu Jixi was held.
"What's so good about Zhu Jixi?"
After grunting, Chen Kan obediently ordered the captain in Jinyi who was guarding the door to push open the heavy iron door.
After last night's interrogation, Zhu Jixi's condition was obviously much worse than yesterday.
His eye sockets had sunken deeply, and his face was ashen as if he hadn't seen the sun.
Hearing the rumble of the door, Zhu Jixi woke up from his deep sleep.
Seeing that the visitors were Chen Kan, Zhu Di and Dao Yan, they didn't go crazy like yesterday. They just looked at them coldly and then lowered their heads.
Chen Kan reluctantly brought two Hu stools to Zhu Di and Dao Yan.
Zhu Di sat down, looked at Zhu Jixi, and said slowly: "Eldest nephew, I have decided to completely eliminate the vassal. I believe that in a short time, there will be no more troubles with vassal kings in the world."
Zhu Jixi didn't seem to hear what Zhu Di was saying, and just sat there without speaking.
Zhu Di didn't mind, and said to himself: "Don't worry, I won't kill you. After all, you are the heir of the third brother. Considering that he once swept the grassland with me, I will also keep you alive." Life."
When Zhu Di said these words, a look of joy finally appeared on Zhu Jixi's face.
But it only took a moment before he returned to his lifeless look.
"Forget it, I will send someone to take you back to your hometown in Fengyang in a few days. There is not much popularity within the high wall. If you go there, it will be more lively."
After saying this, Zhu Di stood up and prepared to leave.
"Fourth uncle, I miss my father!"
Zhu Jixi's hoarse voice sounded, dry and emotionless, as if he was just stating a fact.
When Zhu Di heard this, he was stunned on the spot.
But Chen Kan was keenly aware that the corners of Zhu Di's eyes were actually a little sparkling.
Under what circumstances, will the great tyrant also have feelings?
"Then I will send you back to Taiyuan to guard the cemetery for my third brother."
"Thank you, Fourth Uncle."
Chen Kan stared blankly at this rare scene in the royal family, feeling extremely confused.
Zhu Di actually didn't kill Zhu Jixi, why didn't you kill him even if he rebelled?
If you don’t kill me, what if he takes revenge on me in the future?
Originally, Chen Kan thought Zhu Jixi was dead, but now it seems that he has to find a way to solve the troubles by himself.
After leaving the prison, Chen Kan followed Zhu Di all the way to the guard of honor.
Zhu Di looked at the absent-minded Chen Kan and ordered: "Chen Kan, in a few days Dali Temple will convict the King of Jin, and you will escort him back to Taiyuan. If anything goes wrong, I am the only one to ask."
"oh!"
"ah?"
Chen Kan came to his senses, a little unbelievable.
"Your Majesty, you know the grudge between me and His Highness the King of Jin. How dare I go to Taiyuan? Besides, I have to take an exam."
"You dare to frame the prince, and you dare to deceive me. Is there anything else in this world that you Chen Kan dare not do? As for the exam, cutting the feudal clan will delay your time. I believe that you also need one as a gift. Half a month?"
Zhu Di's expression suddenly changed, and the sweat on Chen Kan's forehead immediately flowed to the tip of his nose.
He quickly knelt down on one knee and apologized: "I am guilty, your majesty, please forgive me?"
"Excuse me, why don't you apologize?"
Listening to Zhu Di's cold words, Chen Kan panicked and asked for forgiveness. What if you really punish me?
Do you want to enter the palace three times?
pill!
"Your Majesty, I have no choice but to do this."
Kneeling on the ground, Chen Kan's clothes were already wet with sweat. What happened to the people in the old Zhu family? Everyone changed their faces so quickly?
"Do you think I will kill them all?"
"Do you think I am a tyrant who only kills his subjects?"
Chen Kan knelt on the ground and didn't dare to take a breath. His thoughts were spinning in his mind, thinking about ways to escape.
When Leng Buding heard Zhu Di say this, Chen Kan was immediately frightened to death.
There is no right answer to this kind of question.
"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of doing this."
Chen Kan secretly looked at Zhu Di's expressionless face, hoping to find some useful information from his face.
But he was disappointed. Zhu Di's expression was so dull that there was no fluctuation at all.
Chen Kan tilted his head, and a shiny round head came into view.
The old monk silently uttered the word "Taiyuan".
Chen Kan's thoughts suddenly became enlightened.
He quickly lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, I promise that I have no intention of harming His Highness Prince Jin. I promise that I will send His Highness Prince Jin to the mausoleum of the old prince safely. If anything goes wrong, I am willing to commit suicide on the spot. !”
"Humph, I hope you can keep your word!"
Zhu Di snorted coldly, got on the chariot and walked away.
Chen Kan knelt on the ground and watched Zhu Di's guard of honor go away.
After a while, he stood up slowly, and his heart beat returned to normal.
Zhu Di was dissatisfied with him.
Chen Kan became alert.
Why Zhu Di was dissatisfied with him, he already understood from Zhu Di's beating just now.
In the final analysis, the education that everyone is equal in later generations was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that Chen Kan did not have much respect for the imperial power.
In this era, the authority of the royal family cannot be violated, and the majesty of the emperor cannot be questioned.
From the time he refused to become an official, he has refused Zhu Di's orders one after another.
With Zhu Di's temperament, if he hadn't been useful to him, if anyone else had dared to bargain with him like this, the grass on the grave would have been three meters high.
I have to say that I am still alive and kicking. It must be said that there is a certain amount of luck.
After thinking about this, Chen Kan felt scared for no reason.
