Stepping into the side hall of Fengtian Hall, a wave of heat immediately hit my face.
There are earth dragons laid under the ground of the main hall. When winter comes, the palace can still be as warm as spring.
Zhu Di was sitting on the dragon chair, holding a red pen, and was quickly reviewing the memorial.
Next to Zhu Di, there was a young official who was helping him. He was mainly responsible for delivering memorials to Zhu Di, and sorting out the memorials reviewed by Zhu Di and sending them back to the Sixth Department.
After Chen Kan entered, Zhu Di didn't even look at him, and Chen Kan didn't bother him.
After reviewing the pile of memorials, the official took down the reviewed memorials and placed the pile of unreviewed memorials on the desk.
Taking advantage of this gap, Zhu Di took a sip of water.
Then he turned his attention to Chen Kan.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
Seeing Zhu Di looking over, Chen Kan hurriedly raised his hands to greet him.
"Here you go, sit down."
Zhu Di pointed to the chair in front of the table. When Chen Kan sat down, he focused on two things. While reviewing the memorial, he asked Chen Kan: "Do you know why I called you here today?"
Chen Kan responded honestly: "I don't know, please let your Majesty make it clear."
Zhu Di said: "My eldest nephew is dead."
Chen Kan: "?"
Chen Kan frowned, it's none of my business if your eldest nephew dies.
Wait, which eldest nephew?
Couldn't it be Zhu Jixi?
"According to the Chief Envoy of Shanxi Province, he died of cold and starvation in the royal tomb during the early snowfall this year."
Zhu Di was still reviewing the excerpts, as if this matter was completely indifferent to him.
As soon as these words came out, Chen Kan immediately exclaimed in his heart: "What a great death~"
But on the surface, he still pretended to be shocked and said in surprise: "His Royal Highness, the deposed King of Jin, passed away?"
Zhu Di frowned and said in a deep voice, "Don't tell me, this matter has nothing to do with you."
"ah?"
Chen Kan was stunned, thinking that Zhu Di was doubting him.
He immediately became unhappy. Wasn't this an injustice to a good person?
"Your Majesty is aware that this matter has nothing to do with me at all."
"After I sent the deposed King of Jin to the royal mausoleum, I rushed back to the capital without stopping. How can this have anything to do with me?"
Chen Kan immediately called out to Chongtian Stubbornly.
Although it is possible, he was behind Zhu Jixi's death, but he was not the one who killed him. If you want to ask, you have to ask Zhu Jihuang.
Zhu Di said suspiciously: "It really has nothing to do with you?"
"No!"
Chen Kan answered decisively, with a look of great injustice on his face.
Watching Chen Kan's impromptu performance, Zhu Di put down the ink pen in his hand, and then sighed imperceptibly.
"That's all, if not, there won't be any."
Zhu Di revealed the matter lightly, which immediately attracted the surprised look of the young official.
He looked at Chen Kan with a rich expression on his face.
Chen Kan gave him a friendly smile. If he guessed correctly, this person should be the famous Yang Shiqi in history.
However, now he is still doing the job of Zhu Di's secretary.
Looking away from Yang Shiqi's face, Chen Kan silently waited for Zhu Di's next words.
He couldn't have called him here just to tell him about Zhu Jixi's death, right?
After a while, Zhu Di asked again: "You have been practicing in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division for so long. What have you gained now?"
Chen Kan's expression suddenly became serious. He knew that the erotic drama was about to come.
He responded: "Your Majesty, the administrative scope of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division has been expanded to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Huguang."
Chen Kan's statement was more euphemistic. Originally, he wanted to say that the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division could compete with the Jin Yiwei.
But after thinking about it for a while, he still felt that he should not be too arrogant and should be low-key.
When Zhu Di heard this, he said without raising his head: "Not bad."
"Well, the capital inspection is about to end recently. You have to find a way to control the security of the capital."
"yes!"
As soon as Chen Kan agreed, Zhu Di stopped and said, "Okay, please step back."
Chen Kan was startled. Are they going to drive people away now?
Aren't you going to talk about my marriage to a cute girl with big eyes?
However, Zhu Di was already busy again, and Chen Kan did not have the courage to ask questions.
After leaving the palace, Chen Kan pondered the meaning of Zhu Di's words as he walked.
What does it mean that the capital inspection is about to end? Let yourself take more control of the security of the capital. The implication is that there may be some big trouble in the capital recently?
It doesn't make sense.
Jingnan's orphans were all sent to Nuergandusi to herd sheep by Zhu Di, and the military power of the feudal princes was almost confiscated by Li Jinglong.
The rebellion of the King of Shu was also coming to an end, and only Zhu Chun and a group of defeated soldiers were left to guard the natural barrier of Kuimen.
Could it be that the Japanese pirates from Fujian are going to attack the capital?
These speculations were purely Chen Kan's wild imagination. In fact, he soon guessed Zhu Di's deep meaning.
Since the Beijing Procuratorate is over, it means that some people will be promoted, some will be dismissed, and some will be imprisoned and tried.
To sum up, Chen Kan came to a reasonable conclusion, that is, Jin Yiwei was going to take action, and Ji Gang was going to start implicate officials to consolidate his position.
In other words, Zhu Di needs Chen Kan's Five-City Military and Horse Division to formally confront the Jinyiwei.
Jin Yiwei is responsible for taking people, and Chen Kan is responsible for rescuing the good officials implicated by Jin Yiwei. The main focus is a balance, conveniently extending favor to those officials who have not committed crimes, and making them grateful to Zhu Di.
This is Zhu Di's imperial technique.
Simple and easy to use.
It's easy to save people from the Jinyiwei, but for the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, the real difficulty lies in how to judge whether the officials captured by the Jinyiwei are good officials or bad officials.
You can't just let Jin Yiwei capture someone, and Chen Kan can just lead someone to rescue someone.
It's okay to say that the person saved is a good person, but if it is a heinous villain, wouldn't it be great fun?
Chen Kan suddenly stopped.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Zhang San and Fang Xu immediately surrounded them as if they were facing a formidable enemy, looking around with vigilant expressions.
Chen Kan slapped him on the forehead: "Why are you panicking?"
"Go back to the imperial city and go to the official department."
Chen Kan gave an order, and everyone who had just left the palace turned back and walked towards the palace.
Outside the East Chang'an Gate, officials from the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Personnel saw Chen Kan approaching with a group of minions from a distance.
They had a tacit understanding and stopped what they were doing at the same time.
Then they each returned to the Yamen.
"Bang~"
The three government offices closed their heavy doors at the same time.
Chen Kan has a black streak on his head.
what happened?
When Chen Kan came to the entrance of the official department, he took down the sign "Chen Kan and dogs are not allowed" last time and threw it into the garbage.
But now, the sign was gone, and the closed windows and doors made him feel even more seriously insulted.
I am so handsome, but these officials don't welcome me. Are they blind?
