The British Duke took Zhao Xing and others to sit down. Zhang Zhi and his butt had just touched the chair, but the British Duke called out the little fat man: "Call a team of servants to the outside of the hall to watch, don't let people get close to him."

The little fat man agreed and asked to make arrangements.

Zhao Xing knew that what he wanted to say was a big deal, and it was about the matter of the Tian family in the court, so he should be so careful. So he whispered: "Last time, the assassin could know our location so quickly, without any delay, this matter--"

The British Duke stretched out his hand, stopped Zhao Xing's words, and turned to the fat man with a pale face, "Yes, ask your ten brothers to get up and stand outside the lobby, and don't let anyone get close."

Wang Dazhuang and ten other brothers have truly become the little fat man's confidants, so such a warning arrangement is reasonable.

Wang Dazhuang was loyal to Zhang Zhiji because of the prince's kindness. The prince did not sleep, and of course everyone did not sleep, and he arrived at the first cry. In a blink of an eye, ten men wearing imperial guards and general armor occupied four corners of the hall, facing outward, and being on guard.

The housekeeper extinguished the candles in other places, left a light at the northeast corner against the dead corner, and then went out through the back door, but did not go far, walking around the hall with his hands behind his back, driving away those who wanted to get close to him.

Zhao Xing looked around and found that it was really conspiring, which made people feel creepy.

Regardless of the others, the British Duke first drank a bowl of hot porridge, and then whispered to the three people on the table and the daughter sitting in the shadows: "It's not as simple as we imagine."

If one is not simple, it is enough to show that the matter is serious.

Seeing Zhao Xing bowing his head and just playing with the empty wine glass in front of him, the British Duke asked directly: "What do you think?"

Without saying what Zhao Xing expected about the big guys in the palace, he suddenly asked himself. Zhao Xing smiled calmly and said according to his own ideas: "I'm taking the liberty, when things start, I feel that things are not simple."

"Tell me." The British Duke picked up another bowl of hot porridge and drank it slowly, without even raising his eyes.

Looking at the Duke's surface calmness, Zhao Xing finally decided that because of his friendship with Zhang Zhi and the fat man, it was necessary and obliged to remind the British Duke of what he and Guo Guangsheng were inferred, and not let him fall into the trap of someone who was determined to fight with Donglin, which eventually led to the scene of being forced to death by Donglin when Huang Taiji invaded Jingjin for the first time.

After sorting out his thoughts, Zhao Xing, who became cautious, said slowly: "At the beginning, the prince revealed to the Xia that the Jinyiwei was lifted out of the sacking of the Jinyiwei."

The British Duke frowned and said casually: "Don't be on the bottom, this is not outside."

Zhao Xing immediately changed his words: "Boy, relying on his experience and intuition, felt that the abolition of the Dongchang Jinyiwei was not reliable. Although Donglin bullied the emperor young, the emperor was wise (actually not stupid). He had experienced it with the late emperor and was not so easy to fool, so he told the prince some of my views."

Zhao Xing's statement that Chongzhen and the late emperor's experience was not groundless.

A book called "The Governor of the Ming Dynasty" says that Tianqi was tired of the throne and had always had the idea of ​​giving way to his younger brother. Zhao Xing always believed that the author had drawn a very realistic conclusion through research.

Brothers Tianqi and Chongzhen lost their mothers since childhood and grew up in the deep palace with their unlucky father. Since he was a child, he felt the dark and sinister intrigue in the deep palace. With Tianqi's cowardly personality, he was absolutely afraid of this intrigue, so he developed the carpenter skills. This was just a way for him to relieve fear and anxiety, and it was also an escape.

But he was ruthlessly promoted to the throne by the British Duke, but did not feel the pleasure of the emperor's supreme, but was regarded as a tool for party struggle by the aggressive Donglin Party members. The three major cases have been used as excuses for party struggles over and over again. How could a child not be disgusted?

It is precisely this background that Tianqi supported Wei Zhongxian. On the one hand, he was tired of the government and found someone to take care of him, and on the other hand, he also supported a force to offset Donglin's restraint and improper fingers against him.

He never fell into the imperial lecture every day, but he always brought his younger brother Chongzhen. In principle, this is a behavior that is absolutely inconsistent with the rules.

The imperial lecture was a great scholar and important minister of the time. He explained the power of the emperor to the emperor. He must not be learned by outsiders, let alone a prince. You must know that the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, especially Donglin, had been strictly guarding against rebellion to the point of paranoidness. How could such a thing happen?

But Tianqi threatened to stop studying at the imperial examination, and eventually, his younger brother became an auditor.

At the same time, he firmly used various excuses to prevent his younger brother from making a fuss, which was also of great significance.

Since he has received education on the power and strategy of the emperor, and he is not as weak as Tianqi, he has a strong personality. He never respects Tianqi's last words and uses Wei Zhongxian to decisively defeat him. Chongzhen has certain opinions and is not willing to be easily influenced by Donglin.

Regarding Zhao Xing's statement, the British Duke continued to eat without comment. Although he was still chewing wax, he was really hungry and still ate a lot very quickly.

Hearing Zhao Xing paused, the British Duke urged: "Say, say, continue talking, I'm listening."

Zhao Xing continued, "Since the prince told the Duke about my inappropriate views, and the Duke reported to the emperor. At the same time, the emperor went out of the palace to visit me in a rare manner, that means one thing: the emperor was hesitant about the abolition of the Jinyiwei, the mortal enemy of the official, and then had a new idea. So he wanted to hear the thoughts of me, an outsider." Looking at the embarrassing British Duke, Zhao Xing carefully praised Chongzhen: "Although our emperor is young, he still has the courage and responsibility to listen to both sides. It is not accepted by anyone without principles."

To put it this way, it is to rescue the Duke of England, and it is also to remind the Duke of not being too self-righteous in front of the emperor.

Cui Yan, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly said: "According to your logic, the Donglin Party members fully advocated the abolition of the Dongchang Jinyiwei. My father said this and caused the emperor's private visit. This made the truth of the natural disasters and man-made disasters in Shanxi and Shaanxi, which made Donglin desperately jump over the wall to kill people to silence them?"

Zhao Xing smiled and shook his head gently: "I don't agree with the young lady's opinion."

After saying this, the British Duke was stunned and then put down his job. Then he turned to ask Guo Guangsheng: "Is the old man talking about the things in Shanxi true?"

Guo Guangsheng said sadly: "What I said is not true."

The British Duke nodded slightly and turned to Zhao Xing again: "If the old man said it is true and the emperor knows the real situation, then do you know how much shock the officialdom in Shanxi should be, and how many people should be? Especially, the new governor of Shanxi, but the new emperor ascended the throne the year before yesterday, Donglin fully recommended their party to be honest and famous. That position is where the Ming Dynasty is where half of the sky is where the strength of Donglin is where the strength of Donglin is. In Donglin, Geng Ruqi is not allowed."

The governor of Shanxi of the Ming Dynasty was the leader of the three major governors in the world. The full name was the Admiral Yanmen and other passes and the governor of Shanxi. He governed the Jining army preparation road, Yanping army preparation road, Kelan army preparation road, Hedong army preparation road, Lu'an army preparation road, Ningwu army preparation road, the six roads of Ningwu army preparation road, the four prefectures of Shanxi Administration, the four prefectures of Taiyuan, Pingyang, Lu'an, Fenzhou, Liao, Qin and Ze, and the three prefectures of Shanxi Dushi, the nine palaces, Qinzhou, Ninghua and other nine castles.

The position is higher than that of the Shandong Governor who has no jurisdiction, the Sichuan Governor who has jurisdiction over Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, and the area is as high as Liaodong. The Governor Denglai who defends Beijing and Tianjin can be said to have control of half of the Ming Dynasty. For this position, Donglin just returned to power and took him in his hands at all costs. Donglin would never let him fall.

Zhao Xing smiled: "I understood this way at the beginning. In order to cover up the truth, I did not hesitate to chase us into the Duke's Mansion. However, things seemed to be wrong."

After looking at Zhao Xing for a long time, the British Duke asked word by word: "Where is wrong?"

Zhao Xing looked at Guo Guangsheng because he had been repeatedly pondering this matter with Guo Guangsheng for several nights. At this time, Guo Guangsheng was the person involved and was from Shaanxi. It seemed that it was more convincing to tell him.

Guo Guangsheng understood what Zhao Xing meant and slowly said: "The natural disasters and man-made disasters in Shanxi can be called hell on earth. In fact, even if all officials want to deceive the superiors and conceal the superiors and subordinates, they will not be completely covered up."
