Chapter 1226 Zhai Dongrang

After all, His Highness is His Majesty's son, how can His Majesty let Xu Jie find out His Highness?And His Majesty is most worried about Luo Xin.Your Majesty will not be naive to think that Luo Xin did not speculate that the person behind the assassination of him is Your Highness.Otherwise, Luo Xin would have asked His Majesty to investigate the matter.However, Luo Xin, the client, did not do this.

what does this mean?
This means that Luo Xin knew it was you, His Highness, so he endured it.

However, just because I endured it before, doesn't mean I will endure it now.Because Xu Jie had already stepped forward in this matter, even if His Highness was found out, it would be Xu Jie's fault.Therefore, His Majesty is afraid that in such a situation, if Luo Xin ascends to call out his grievances, or produce some evidence, then His Majesty will be in danger.

Therefore, His Royal Highness's promotion of Luo Xin is to block Luo Xin's mouth.Tell Luo Xin that His Majesty knows everything and will compensate Luo Xin.Your Highness, did you say that you and Xu Jie jointly promoted Luo Xin to the position of Minister of Rites? "

"I... old man Xu Jie is hateful!"

King Jing couldn't help cursing, in his mind, He Xinyin was right, but if it wasn't for Xu Jie's vigorous investigation, nothing would happen, so Xu Jie played the most important role in this matter.He looked at He Xinyin and said:

"Mr. He, Gu has been confirmed. Then Xu Jie must be a spy sent by King Yu. This old man is really abominable. He kills two birds with one stone. He will ruin Gu's reputation by passing this time, and at the same time, improve King Yu's reputation by passing this time." ...By the way, why did the father give Huang Yu Ruyu to King Yu?"

He Xinyin glanced at King Jing and said flatly, "That's His Majesty's warning to His Highness."

"Mr. He..." King Jing was stunned for a while, then suddenly jumped up and said, "What will happen in the future?"

"Alas..." He Xinyin sighed again: "Do nothing, keep a low profile, let's get over this storm first."

"But……"

"Your Highness, don't be afraid. Your Majesty gave Huang Yuruyu to King Yu, just to warn His Highness, but he didn't make King Yu the crown prince. This shows that His Highness still has hope. Now it is better to be still than to move. At this time, the wind is raging. Don’t be able to do the first thing.”

"Then Xu Jie?"

"Your Highness still has to pretend to trust him."

"Bang!" King Jing slapped the table hard.

Xu House.

study.

Xu Luqing looked at Xu Jie with a hint of hesitation on his face.

"Father, what should we do?"

Xu Jie's face was full of wry smiles, and he said in a low voice: "For my father, this is shooting myself in the foot. Now I can't really get King Jing out, and even if I want to, there is no evidence. How can I explain to His Majesty that such a vigorous scene is anticlimactic?

The most important thing is that not only did I fail to get King Jing's trust and dependence through this matter, but I also felt that King Jing was wary of me.well……"

"Then this case?"

"I can't continue the trial!"

"Then... are you going to close the case?"

"It won't work either."

"why?"

"It's hard to find a scapegoat!" Xu Jie sighed and said, "It's easy to find other scapegoats, but it's hard to find someone who can produce so much gunpowder."

"Then... what should I do?"

Xu Jie frowned and said in thought: "Now the minister of the Ministry of Industry and the dozen or so craftsmen are dead, that is to say, those who participated in making gunpowder are all dead, and this line has been completely broken.

As for the archer who shot and killed Luo Xin, he was just one person, and we didn't know his identity at all. To catch him is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack. The only hope is that those bandits in Taihang Mountain, see if they can Find a breakthrough here. "

"Father really wants to drag His Highness King Jing out?" Xu Luqing looked at Xu Jie unexpectedly.

Xu Jie shook his head and said: "Now, if I want to make King Jing trust and rely on me, I must first get his sore spot. Only by grabbing his handle, and then I will destroy the handle in front of him. The king will trust and rely on me, so the case must still be investigated, but it can't be done in a big way, but in secret."

King King's Mansion.

He Xinyin came out of King Jing's study and walked slowly in the garden, his heart gradually relaxed. By this time, the task Luo Xin entrusted to him was basically completed.Divided the relationship between Xu Jie and King Jing, stabilized the status of King Yu, and Luo Xin was promoted.He was wondering if he could leave?
He really didn't want to face that idiot King Jing every day.

"The opposite is Mr. He?"

A voice came from the opposite side, and He Xinyin looked up, but saw a middle-aged scribe saluting to him with a smile, and hurriedly returned the salute:
"It's He Xinyin, Your Excellency?"

"Here is Zhai Dongrang, an aide of His Royal Highness King Jing."

"I'm also an aide of His Royal Highness King Jing." He Xin said with a faint smile.

Afterwards, the two of them laughed loudly, and when the laughter died down, Zhai Dongrang said politely:
"Mr. He's reputation as a Confucianist has spread throughout the country. Today, I am lucky enough to meet you at Prince Jing's Mansion. Can you do me a favor and get drunk together?"

"It's not about rewarding face, it's fate that we met. Let's go, let's bother Mr. Zhai today."

Di Dongrang said with joy on his face, "Please!"

"Please!"

The two came to the single courtyard where Zhai Dongrang lived, and Zhai Dongrang immediately arranged for his servants to prepare food and drinks.The wine and dishes were also very simple, and the four dishes were served quickly. Zhai Dongrang first toasted He Xinyin with a glass of wine, and then said:
"I heard that Mr. He and Xu Jie are best friends?"

A trace of disappointment appeared on He Xinyin's face, then he nodded and said, "We were like this before, and we hope to be like this in the future."

"Oh?" Di Dongrang said with a trace of surprise on his face: "Mr. He entered King Jing's Mansion, isn't it recommended by Mr. Xu Ge?"

He Xinyin narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "No, Xu Jie still doesn't know that I have entered King Jing's Mansion."

Speaking of this, He Xinyin glanced at Zhai Dongrang and said: "Xu Jie wants to soar into the sky by assisting King Jing, and I also want to realize my ideal by assisting King Jing. I begged Xu Jie several times before to introduce me to enter the The mansion, but Xu Jie refused with various reasons, so I had no choice but to recommend myself. Fortunately, Corporal Jing Wang Lixian. Mister Zhai has been in Jing Wang's mansion?"

Zhai Dongrang blushed and said, "Although I assisted King Jing very early, I can't compare with Mr. He."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"I'm just a scholar, and I can compare to Mr. He." Zhai Dongrang's face showed a look of disappointment.

"Oh? Then how did Mr. Zhai enter the palace?"

The two of them ate for an hour. During the dinner, the two probed into each other's details and covered each other's words, but both of them were cunning people, and neither of them got much from the other.
