King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

"no!!"

"you……"

Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi's expression changed, he pointed at Zhu Gaoxu and shouted.

The words have not yet fallen.

Zhu Gaoxu picked up the wet letter as if nothing had happened and slowly opened it. The beeswax sealing the letter seemed to have lost its effect and had no effect on his ability to open the letter.

after that.

Under Zhu Gaochi's surprised eyes, he pulled out the wet letter from the envelope and looked at the contents with great interest.

As the content comes into view.

Zhu Gaoxu's expression changed involuntarily, and a hint of intriguing smile appeared on his face. He turned to look at the prince beside him, handed the letter in his hand to him, and said with a smile:

"Boss"

"Let's see!"

"The incident that made you anxious and angry and extremely upset has an answer."

"but."

“This answer is not perfect enough.”

"There is no way to solve your troubles all at once."

Zhu Gaochi was stunned when he heard this, with a hint of surprise and excitement on his face, and subconsciously asked:
"What do you mean?"

"Any news?"

"Really?"

"Hahaha"

"Okay! Okay! Great!"

"Come on, come on, let me see it. Let me see it."

"Where are these bastards hiding?"

Then, he came to his senses, snatched the letter from Zhu Gaoxu's hand, and carefully read the contents with a frown.

As the content came into view, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but frowned deeply.

"What the hell?"

"Only two people were found?"

"Where are the others hiding in the dark?"

"Second child"

"What's going on?"

"How could this happen?"

"What exactly does that mean?"

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him indifferently, nodded at him, and said:

"What's the point?"

"Didn't you read the contents of the letter?"

"That's what the letter says. What else could it mean?"

"but."

Having said this, he paused, his expression became solemn, and he suddenly changed the subject and continued:
"I have to admit it."

"The leader of the Japanese bandits this time is really an extremely difficult guy."

"Disperse all personnel and hide them in different places."

"It's impossible to be sure, to know exactly how many people there are."

"At the same time, even if some individuals are accidentally discovered or arrested."

"It will only cost one or two people. It won't have much impact on them, and there will be no so-called catching them all in one fell swoop."

"This makes it easier to hide, and also provides beneficial protection for each of them."

"It is indeed an extremely brilliant strategy, which is amazing!"

This statement.

Listening to Zhu Gaoxu's analysis.

Even the Crown Prince had to admit in his heart that the leader of the Japanese pirates' actions this time was indeed a very cautious person.

For manpower and layout.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with it, it is absolutely perfect.

However, while they were amazed and sighing, they also started to have a headache.

For a moment they didn't know how to start.

inside the room.

We fell into an eerie silence, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.

After a while.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was in silence, was the first to withdraw his gaze and asked with a half-smile:

"Boss"

"This matter involves my eldest nephew."

"Anyway, I have done my best. I have found two people for you."

“But how should we plan and do it specifically?”

"It's up to you to decide."

As he spoke, Zhu Gaoxu's words turned to teasing, and he continued:
"otherwise."

"It will save you from any uncontrollable problems or accidents that may occur."

"I am really afraid that some people will think that I am interfering and deliberately causing trouble."

"I am too small to bear such a huge blame and such a huge crime. I can't bear it."

"We catch it and pry its mouth open as much as possible."

"We should continue to monitor and lay out a long line to catch the big fish. We will wait for all the people to gather together before they take action, and then catch them all in one fell swoop."

"Think clearly"

Say it.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say another word. Instead, he leisurely picked up the teacup on the table, gently shook the lid to skim off the foam floating on the surface, drank the hot tea quietly, and looked at the prince with interest, waiting for his decision.

After hearing this.

The prince who was standing aside suddenly sat down, his facial expression changed greatly, he half-closed his eyes, frowned and fell into deep thought, his heavy and rapid breathing was accompanied by the ups and downs of his chest.

All of these show that Zhu Gaochi was feeling uneasy and conflicted at this moment.

A long time passed like this.

Zhu Gaochi's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, as if he had thought of something, and he turned and shouted angrily at the closed door:
"Here comes someone."

"Quickly, tell Ji Gang, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei, to come see me immediately."

For a moment.

Then, from outside the tightly closed door, a promising voice was heard: "Yes!!"

Not long after.

Da da da.
There was a burst of hurried and chaotic footsteps outside the tightly closed door, and then a dull knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Enter!!"

Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting upright on the armchair with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted towards the outside of the door.

crunch
Order received.

There was a harsh sound of wooden bolts rubbing against each other, and the tightly closed door was slowly pushed open. Ji Gang walked in from outside the door, bowed respectfully to the two of them, and said:
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, Your Majesty, the Prince of Han."

"I don't know why you called me here, but what important matter do you want me to tell you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochi waved his hand to indicate, then frowned and pondered for a long time, his expression becoming extremely solemn as he pondered, and said:

"Lord Ji"

"I have something to ask, and I hope Lord Ji can give me a definite answer."

"Rather than using official language."

"Do you understand?"

After hearing this, Ji Gang was stunned, and a trace of doubt flashed across his face. He couldn't help but think of the scene of being scolded just now, and the situation that he went to the interrogation cell after leaving this room but got nothing. His expression changed, and he was very unhappy with the prince's aggressive attitude, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.

After all, sleeping is one's duty. What can one do?
Who can you blame if you don’t get the results you want?

I can only blame myself for not doing my job well.

at the same time.

Ji Gang was filled with hatred for those Japanese bandits who kept saying "I don't know, I know nothing".

He secretly made up his mind that he would use more ruthless methods when he returned to the interrogation cell.

We must make those Japanese bandits speak out the information we want as quickly as possible.

otherwise.

After a while, he was called in for questioning again, but he still couldn't come up with any useful clues.

It is really embarrassing, and it is very likely that my superiors will doubt my ability because of this incident.

This situation was naturally not what he wanted to see.

At the same time, he secretly made up his mind to put more pressure on those scattered Jinyiwei and those bastard subordinates.

Let them try their best to find some useful clues.

So a two-pronged approach.

At least it allows him to speak and send back news.

He wouldn't be so embarrassed and passive.

Everyone's face could look better, right?
After a moment, he put away his wandering thoughts, sorted out his emotions briefly, and after calming down, he lowered his head slightly and quickly apologized:
"Your Highness the Crown Prince...Prince Han, please forgive me."

"Please give me a little more time."

"I will do my best to get clues from those Japanese bandits."

"Please..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochi immediately understood.

About it.

I'm afraid Ji Gang is thinking wrongly.

Thinking that I couldn’t wait any longer, I pressed for the results to come out quickly.

Then, he quickly waved his hand at him and shouted:

"okay!"

"That's not what I meant."

"I'm not asking you about the interrogation of the captured Japanese pirates."

"But I have something else to ask."

After hearing this.

Ji Gang glanced sideways slightly, and suddenly raised his lowered head, looking at Zhu Gaochi's position with a look of surprise and disbelief, then frowned and pondered for a moment. Even though he racked his brains and thought of countless possibilities in his mind, he still couldn't figure out what Zhu Gaochi meant by his sudden question, nor could he figure out what kind of medicine was in his gourd.

Then, he subconsciously asked:

"Your Highness...what do you mean?"

"I'm sorry I'm stupid, I don't understand what you mean."

"I beg Your Highness to make it clear."

In this regard.

Zhu Gaochi had no intention of beating around the bush on this matter. He calmed down and thought for a moment, then picked up the letter on the table that was slowly drying up, and handed it over casually, saying:
"Look at what's in the letter!"

"After you finish reading it, we'll talk about what's next."

"You will understand what I meant by what I said."

Looking at the letter handed to me.

With curiosity in his heart, Ji Gang looked at the contents of the letter intently.

Accompanied by the content that comes into view.

His originally stunned and solemn expression disappeared in an instant, replaced by a look of excitement and excitement. He read the contents of the letter in his hand over and over again to confirm it.

Just like that, a long time passed.

"call"

He let out a long breath, carefully placed the letter in his hand on the stone table, then frowned for a moment, his expression suddenly became extremely solemn, and asked in a deep voice:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"Excuse me for asking a question."

“I don’t know who wrote the contents of this letter.”

"And can the truth of the information conveyed above be confirmed? Is it really credible?"

About it.

It’s no wonder that Ji Gang asked this question so seriously.

After all, this matter involves Emperor Yongle's favorite grandson, who is also the biological son of the current Crown Prince.

He had no choice but to be serious.

Of course, there is the most important point.

Because of this incident, all the Jinyiwei in the entire Yingtian city were spread out like mung beans, secretly searching for clues throughout the city and checking suspicious persons one by one.

Moreover, the entire Yingtianfu City is the base camp of the Ming Dynasty’s Jinyiwei.

It has spread to so many people.

But no news came, and not even a single useful clue was found.

Under such circumstances.

Zhu Gaochi took out the information and clues he had prepared.

This forced him to be serious and doubt the authenticity of the contents of the letter. He even suspected that this might be a deliberate trap set by the Japanese pirates hiding in the dark.

Trying to achieve some unspeakable secret.

This statement came out.

We are all smart people.

Zhu Gaochi could naturally understand the caution and suspicion in Ji Gang's words.

After a brief moment of thought, Zhu Gaochi cast his gaze towards Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting with his legs crossed and drinking hot tea leisurely, as if he had nothing to do with the matter, and said in a deep voice:
"Second child"

"The news came from your subordinates."

"In response to Lord Ji's questions and doubts."

"You should answer this question!"

"So that the commander-in-chief can rest assured."

"Only by doing things this way can we achieve twice the result with half the effort!!"

Get accurate answers and know the sources of news and clues.

Ji Gang suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhu Gaoxu, a hint of surprise and uncertainty flashed across his face.

What the hell?
What is going on?
This news came from Prince Han, and was passed on by Prince Han's subordinates.

Not
Is it so powerful?

How did the people in Prince Han's hands do it, and what kind of shocking intelligence power do they have?
Even if all the Jinyiwei in Yingtian City were deployed, they would still be no match for the intelligence power in his hands.

How many people does the intelligence force in the hands of Han King Zhu Gaoxu have in Yingtianfu City? How many people do they cover? How many of his people are there?

Previously.

As for the Crown Prince, the King of Han and the King of Zhao, these three gentlemen all have hidden powers in their hands. As the head of the Jinyiwei, Ji Gang is the emperor's henchman who gathers all kinds of intelligence for the emperor, so he is naturally very clear about this matter.

He also reported this matter to Emperor Yongle and asked him to decide how to deal with it.

The evaluation he received was: unusable, self-righteous, and not worth paying attention to. These were the twelve words he was told.

after that.

He did not take this matter too seriously or pay too much attention to it. After all, Emperor Yongle had made such a statement, so what could he say?
But he really could not have dreamed that the intelligence force in Zhu Gaoxu's hands would be so powerful, even stronger than the intelligence force of the Jinyiwei in Yingtian Prefecture.

what does this mean?
What does it mean?
Ji Gang had a thousand thoughts in his mind, as if he had thought of something. His expression became serious and his face became unpredictable, but he suppressed all these thoughts and did not dwell on this matter too much. He put all other things aside and decided to solve the problem at hand first before discussing the issue of the intelligence power in Zhu Gaoxu's hands.

Of course, this is not just a theory.

To be precise, it was a report to Emperor Yongle.

Let them decide.

In a sense, this matter is also a family affair of the royal family. (End of this chapter)
