I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 496 I am Zhai Shan! Not an undercover agent!

Suddenly heard this.

Zhu Di's expression suddenly changed! He quickly stood up and yelled: "Shut up!"

"Second brother, I see you are becoming more and more lawless!"

"Remember, in today's Ming Dynasty, there is and can only be one person who can inherit the throne! That is His Highness the Grand Sun!"

"No one is allowed to have evil intentions!"

"Otherwise, you will have trouble with me, Zhu Di! Even if it is my son, I will never forgive him lightly!"

This statement was not intended to guard against spies who might monitor their conversation at any time.

The palace of Prince Yan was almost built like an iron barrel by Zhu Di.

Ordinary spies would not be able to enter Prince Yan's Mansion, let alone hear their conversation.

These words came from King Yan’s heart!

Because during these years, he had long understood deeply that only Zhu Yunxu could save the Ming Dynasty!

Otherwise, no matter who sits on the throne of the emperor.

After all, the Ming Dynasty only lasted a hundred or two hundred years!

Even, it may not last more than a few decades!

After all, if Zhu Yunxuan dies, who will Ming Dynasty rely on to control today's Ming Dynasty? Who else can grasp today’s Ming Dynasty?

No one can!

Therefore, King Yan Zhu Di understood deeply and clearly that the Ming Dynasty could not live without Zhu Yunzhen!

However, not everyone in the world understands this truth.

When the second eldest brother Zhu Gaoxu heard this, an unhappy look appeared on his face.

He directly contradicted him and said: "You are a loyal minister! Yes, that's right! You are the biggest loyal minister!"

"But haven't you ever thought that after Zhu Yunzhen ascends the throne, you will suddenly feel unhappy one day?"

"You can destroy Prince Yan's Mansion with just one sentence?!"

"When the time comes, you, a loyal minister, will be very powerful!"

"You want to be a loyal minister, but in the eyes of others, you are not a loyal minister! The lives of our family, as well as the lives of many brothers below, are all in your hands!"

"Oh, you want to be a loyal minister."

"Do you have to risk all our lives?"

"I tell you!"

"We can't afford to bet! There are more than tens of thousands of lives in Prince Yan's palace! Do you have to accompany you to bet that Zhu Yunxuan will never have the intention to kill him for the rest of his life?!"

"I, Zhu Gaoxu, absolutely can't do it!"

Zhu Gaoxu has a reckless temper. When he loses his temper, he dares to scold even his own father!

The words were full of dissatisfaction with Zhu Di!

When the eldest brother Zhu Gaochi saw the second child like this, he quickly pulled him down and sat down.

He comforted: "Don't say that."

"His Royal Highness Taisun is generous and kind and will not do anything to us."

"Otherwise, His Majesty the Grand Sun would not be able to entrust our father with important responsibilities."

"Furthermore, our father and His Royal Highness have both sworn an oath to the old man. There is no way this can be false, right?"

"What you say may not happen."

But Zhu Gaoxu, the second oldest, was still dissatisfied. He also knew that Zhu Yunzhen would not attack Prince Yan's palace.

But the problem is.

Zhu Yunzhen is only more than ten years old!

Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: "Boss, I think your brain has been kicked by a donkey too!"

"How old is Zhu Yunzhen? How long does he have to live?"

"At least a few decades!"

"In the past few decades, he has been like a big mountain, pressing on our heads in Prince Yan's Mansion, making us unable to breathe!"

"And what about us?"

"In these decades, everything must be done right! There can be no mistakes!"

"Otherwise, it will give him an excuse to get rid of us!"

"And don't you pride yourself on reading a lot? Then don't you know that kings have always been jealous since ancient times!"

"The example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is there! The example of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty is also there!"

"And to say something unpleasant! Our old man's examples are all there!"

When Zhu Di heard that Zhu Gaoxu was speaking indiscriminately, his expression suddenly changed.

He immediately stood up, walked over, and kicked Zhu Gaoxu to the ground!

"Rebel!"

"Look at your sharp mouth and monkey cheeks!"

"Only you dare to talk about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and the old man?"

"I think you just don't have a brain!"

Zhu Di was furious.

But it was not that he didn't listen to Zhu Gaoxu's words... In fact, what Zhu Gaoxu said was very correct!

Since ancient times, kings have mostly been heroes when they were young!

There are unparalleled talents!

It is even more tolerant!

But when you get older... things will change 180 degrees! When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was old, when Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was old, and when Lao Zhu was old, these examples all vividly illustrate one thing!

When a person is young, he is not the same person as when he is old!

Especially the emperor!

The promises made when you were young actually don’t count at all when you get older!

Because when people are young, they are as vigorous as the rising sun.

Naturally, the sea is big enough to accommodate all rivers.

Talents in the world will only be too few, not too many! Even if there are one or two arrogant and domineering people inside, they can still be accommodated!

Because at this time, these kings with extraordinary talents can suppress these people!

We need these people to make contributions to themselves!

But by the time we get old, we are already declining, and we can only go downhill.

But at this time, the person who he once thought could help him make great achievements suddenly became a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh!

after all.

He himself is not afraid, but his children and grandchildren may not be afraid!

Just like Lao Zhu.

He can control some people, but will he be able to control his children and grandchildren?

In the original trajectory, wasn't the Blue Jade Case just a purge operation carried out by Lao Zhu because he was afraid that Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen would not be able to control these Huaixi nobles?

And this kind of thing.

This is not an exception in history! But everywhere!

Some people were able to be used by the previous emperor because of his extraordinary ability and because he could suppress them!

Just like Zhu Di, Zhu Yunzhen will naturally not be afraid of him.

Never possible!

But what if Zhu Yunzhen's descendants are ordinary people like Zhu Yunzhen?

What if no one among his descendants has such great talent and strategy?

For the sake of the stability of one's own rights and the stability of the rights of one's descendants, it seems to be common sense to find a reason to remove Prince Yan's Mansion!

This is so unusual!

It’s too likely to happen!

Even though King Yan Zhu Di seemed indifferent on the surface, he punished Zhu Gaoxu severely.

But actually.

These words really hit home!

There are some things... that he cannot tolerate not considering!

However, even so, King Yan Zhu Di did not show any signs of it.

Instead, he said: "Third brother, take someone to lock up your second brother and never allow him to go out!"

"Boss, please take someone to find out where the recent rumors originated."

"By the way, let's check why the troops I commanded have been mobilized so frequently recently. I don't believe it. This is really a coincidence!"

"You have to check it out for me, clearly!"

……

And just when Zhu Di was worried.

Capital.

Go to Haisi Yamen.

Zhai Shanzheng was sitting leisurely in his seat drinking tea.

Now, the overall situation has been decided.

His Highness Taisun is about to choose a day to ascend the throne.

He has made so many great contributions to His Highness Taisun. Even if he has no merit, he still has a lot of hard work.

This way.

Originally, he was worried that his position as head of the overseas shipping department would not last long.

But look at it now.

This problem no longer exists.

As long as His Highness Taisun is here, Zhai Shan will definitely have a place in the Ming Dynasty. After all, he can be described in four words - Jane is in the heart of the emperor!

His Highness Taisun will never forget him!

But just when Zhai Shan was steadily advancing the affairs of the Overseas Division, a group of uninvited guests suddenly showed up uninvited. Sneaked into the Izumi Division quietly.

"Master Zhai, you are really leisurely!"

"When such a big thing happened, I was still able to remain indifferent. I really admire you!"

in the corner.

A man in black robe came out.

Behind him, there were several men in black.

They all hold sharp knives.

Obviously, it’s someone who comes with bad intentions!

Zhai Shan was shocked. Hearing this voice, he was no different from the person behind the scenes! Could it be possible...that the person behind the scenes wasn't arrested?

But on the surface, Zhai Shan still remained calm.

Said: "Guys, you are joking."

"I'm just enjoying myself in misery."

"After all, I don't know when my head will move."

"If you don't enjoy it anymore."

"There's really no chance!"

The men in black clothes and masks opposite didn't speak, but just walked forward.

Pull out the long knife in your hand.

Putting it on Zhai Shan's neck, he asked coldly: "Tell me! Why does Zhu Yunzhen know our plan!"

"Why would Zhu Yunzhen send people to sneak attack our stronghold!"

"Are you snitching?"

"Have you been an undercover agent from the beginning! You have colluded with Zhu Yunzhen to deceive me!"

The knife was held to his neck.

There was no panic on Zhai Shan's face.

Instead, he said angrily: "Humph! I still want to ask you about this?!"

"Didn't you agree that you can control the emperor's life and death?"

"But what's going on now! Not only did the emperor not die, but Zhu Yunzhen also got the news in advance!"

"Now you are blaming me!"

"It's simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!"

"I, Zhai Shan, am an undercover agent? Haha! If I, Zhai Shan, were an undercover agent, you don't know how long you have been dead!"

"Do you think you'll have any chance?!"

Not only was Zhai Shan not afraid, but he kept asking questions.

For a while.

He actually made the other party unable to deal with it.

All he could do was laugh.

Put down the knife.

He said: "Master Zhai, don't be surprised. It's really what happened last time. Zhu Yunxu found out about it and had to guard against it."

"I apologize to Mr. Zhai."

At this time, the person's voice suddenly changed and returned to normal.

Obviously, this person is not the real person behind the scenes.

It was the substitute that Zhai Shan had seen earlier!

Zhai Shan frowned and seemed to finally react, saying, "That's it! You are actually that person's substitute!"

"Then where is the other party now?"

"He can't bear it any longer and has confessed everything, right?"

"If that's true."

"Then Zhai will have to wait here until someone from Dongchang comes looking for him."

"I have suffered an unreasonable disaster with you this time!"

"It's really not enough to succeed, but more than enough to fail!"

Zhai Shan was very angry, and seemed to be really angry that he could not kill Zhu Yunxu.

This further dispelled the other party's doubts.

After all, Zhai Shan's suspicion was not high, Lao Zhu was not dead, and Zhu Yunxuan knew that there was an ambush on the road. Obviously, the person most likely to inform the whistleblower must be Zhou Wangle.

In addition, there are currently three guards on the inner and outer floors of Prince Zhou's mansion.

And Zhai Shan, who has no one around him.

Of course it is already clear who the mole is!

"Don't worry."

"My lord will naturally not leak the information about Lord Zhai."

"Besides, our great cause has not completely failed!"

"This time, I am here to invite Mr. Zhai to a place!"

Zhai Shan frowned.

Asked: "Where?"

But the other party didn't answer.

Obviously, this place is top secret!

But Zhai Shan also understood in his heart.

This place should be where the person behind the scenes is now!

"it is good!"

"I go!"

"Anyway, I've already boarded your pirate ship, and now I can't even think about getting off!"

"I don't want to be like those people who had their homes confiscated and their families exterminated recently."

"There are no bones left! The whole family was buried with him!"

Said by Zhai Shanyi.

These men in black couldn't help but tremble. Recently, there were really a lot of people in the capital!

I don’t know how many people were arrested and beheaded!

And if these people are discovered and caught, they will naturally not be able to escape the fate of having their homes confiscated and their entire clan exterminated!

"Okay! Mr. Zhai, please wait a moment. We will pick up Mr. Zhai at midnight tonight!"

"When the time comes, let's go together."

"Let's discuss the plan together!"

Zhai Shan nodded, but he didn't care. It's already this time, what big plan are we discussing together?

What other plans can there be!

The three melons and two dates in their hands could no longer pose any threat to His Highness the Grand Sun!

And soon, His Highness the Grand Sun will ascend the throne!

By the time.

His Highness Taisun will be able to grasp the movements of these people more easily! After all, there are some differences between the positions of the crown prince and the emperor!

Wait for a few people to leave.

After Zhai Shan made sure there was no one around.

Start writing immediately.

Write today's events in detail in the letter, then seal it well and throw it into a secret passage in the Chuhai Si Yamen.

And this letter.

It was also passed to the hands of the people in Dongchang through a secret passage.

Like flying, it was quickly delivered to the palace!

The palace!

Zhu Yunxuan opened the letter written by Zhai Shan and learned what had just happened.

really.

Your choice is correct!

These people did doubt Zhai Shan, but because of the existence of King Zhou, they were just guessing about Zhai Shan!

Now the other party's eyes are all on King Zhou!

Indeed, the mere fact that Lao Zhu did not die was enough to conclude that the betrayer must be King Zhou!

Zhu Yunxuan looked at the letter.

I couldn't help but smile in my heart. Compared to King Zhou, Zhai Shan was undoubtedly much more important.

It doesn’t matter if King Zhou dies!

Of course, the guards have already been arranged for King Zhou.

As for whether he can survive this crisis, it depends on his luck!

"Perhaps this time... we can see the true face of the person behind the scenes!"

"Is it as I thought?"

Zhu Yunzhen didn't know.

But compared to this matter, Zhu Yunxuan was more concerned about another matter.

The second half of the roster of interest groups behind the scenes!

This time, Zhai Shan must be investigated thoroughly! So that we can catch them all in one go!
