Like the King of Yan, the first thing that King Qin did when he returned to his mansion was to liquidate the failures in the two cases of the assassination of the prince and the Wuchang letter-winning case at the beginning of the year. King of Qin Zhu Chuang was about 34 or 35 years old, with fair skin and slender eyes, and a fearful severity in his eyes. He was vassalized in Xi'an in the eleventh year of Hongwu. The land of Guanzhong was an ideal place for Zhu Yuanzhang to establish his capital. He entrusted Guanzhong to his second son and expressed his importance to him.
A few months ago, Zhu Yuanzhang changed the Grand Principal Court to the Zongren Mansion. Because the King of Qin was the chief, he was appointed as the Zongren Mansion. King of Jin Zhu Gang and King of Yan Zhu Di were appointed as the left and right Zongzheng. This time, the three kings entered the capital, one was to celebrate the great victory for the Yan and the two kings of Jin defeated the Northern Yuan army, and the second was that the King of Qin and others officially took office as official positions in the Zongren Mansion.
At this moment, the gate of the Qin Palace was closed and no one came to receive him. In the courtyard of the Xinei House, there were a lot of people kneeling. The leader was Zhao Wuji, and behind were a group of guards including Zhao Da to Zhao Shier. Zhao Qi died in Yangluo Town. Zhao Shisan's life and death were unknown. Their team was the direct participants in the Dingyuan assassination case and the Wuchang case at the beginning of the year. The failure of these two cases was unforgivable.
Zhao Wuji knelt on the ground with a pale face, lowering his head and silently, as if a lamb to be slaughtered. He thought that the Qin King sent Shao Wenda to mean that the prince had pardoned his sins, but he did not expect that he could not escape his responsibility.
This is also a fault for thinking things too well. The King of Qin has always been harsh on his subordinates. When will those who make mistakes be spared? What's more, he made a promise at the beginning of the year that now both cases have failed, and Your Highness will not let him go easily.
But the assassination was planned by Shao Wenda, why was he irresponsible? Zhao Wuji's eyes swept angrily at Shao Wenda who was standing behind the King of Qin. Shao Wenda looked serious and his eyes were tilted to the sky, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Zhu Chuang sat on a wide rosewood chair, thinking about how to deal with these useless things, and suddenly felt that Zhao Wuji seemed to be glaring at him. Zhu Chuang couldn't help but be furious. He had made a mistake and admitted his guilt honestly, but he dared to be a bad attitude. He slapped the handrail hard and scolded, "Zhao Wuji, don't you know the crime?"
Zhao Wuji's head was hanging down and he didn't dare to say anything more. Shao Wenda sneered secretly, and then whispered to Zhu Xi: "No army can be formed without power. Your Highness will accomplish great things. You must be strict with your ruler. If you spare them this time, no one will be willing to do your best for you in the future."
Although his voice was small, Zhao Da, who was kneeling beside him, heard it. He was shocked and immediately said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, we are not willing to do our best. Wuchang has won the trust. All the people are in trouble. We are not the only one who returns in failure. If Your Highness wants to punish us for this, we have no complaints. However, the assassination was planned by Mr. Shao. We strictly follow Mr. Shao's deployment. We did it strictly according to Mr. Shao's deployment. It has not been distorted. If we fail, how can we blame us? Moreover, Mr. Zhao once proposed to use the mixed people in the martial arts world to do things, and it will be insufficient. The facts prove that it is indeed because of their assassination. If we want to punish, please punish Mr. Shao!"
Shao Wenda was furious and pointed at Zhao Da and cursed: "You dare to argue. The assassination failed because of your unfavorable deployment. My plan was approved by Your Highness. Do you still want to put the blame on Your Highness?"
Zhao Wuji next to him couldn't help but say, "Mr. Shao, this matter has nothing to do with Your Highness. Please don't pull Your Highness in."
"Okay! OK! OK! Your Highness holds you responsible, you turn the blame on me."
Shao Wenda knelt down and shed tears to Zhu Xi and said, "Your Highness, your subordinates are in great sins, which has caused your plan to fail. You deserve to die. Please give me a death!"
"Enough!" Zhu Cheng stood up suddenly. He had made a punishment decision just now. Zhao Wuji was still useful and would not punish him for the time being. Shao Wenda was his right-hand man, and he could not move. If he wanted to punish this matter, he could only make decisions from these guards. Zhao Da dared to refute his words just now. It was really hateful, so he attacked this person.
"Come!" He shouted angrily, and more than a dozen strong men came up next to him. Zhu Cheng pointed at Zhao Dada: "This man is the leader of the guard. He does not want to repent, but he repeatedly rudes the responsibility, and he is more guilty and pushes him out to me and beats him to death!"
More than a dozen strong men stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Da and dragged him outward. Zhao Da said to Zhao Wuji urgently: "Chief! I, Zhao Da, are loyal to the prince and do my best to do my best. You have to plead for me!"
Zhao Wuji's face was pale, his lips moved, and finally he lowered his head weakly and did not dare to speak. At this time, Zhao Da had been dragged to the door. Seeing that everyone was silent, he couldn't help but feel sad and angry, and shouted to the sky: "God, I, Zhao Da, have blinded my eyes and mistakenly committed mediocre talent, which led to the disaster today. Damn it!"
Zhu Chuang was furious and threw the spear at Zhao Da, "Bastard, you dare to insult me, just beat him to death here!"
More than a dozen strong men held Zhao Da tightly, first strangled his mouth with a rope, and then covered his head with a black pocket. Zhao Da struggled desperately, but he was powerless. The rough rope tied his hands and feet to death, and even the muscles and bones on his shoulders were broken. Then more than a dozen big sticks hit him in the face. Zhao Da rolled around and screamed. After a while, he gradually stopped moving, and blood soaked his whole body. Zhao Er and Zhao San watched their elder brother be beaten to death, all lowered their heads, with tears in their eyes.
Zhu Ren glanced coldly at everyone, and did not dare to say anything more when he saw anyone. He nodded with satisfaction, and pointed to the dead body of Zhao Da and said, "I ordered all the guards to come and see. Whoever dares to do anything excuses him will be a role model!"
He glanced at Zhao Wuji again and said, "Zhao Wuji, please write me another detailed report to show your sincerity in admitting your mistakes."
"Yes!" Zhao Wuji agreed in a low voice.
"Okay, you all go back. I will spare you this time if I fail. If I lose again next time, don't blame my subordinates for being unwilling."
Zhu Ren glanced at Zhao Da's body in disgust, swayed his sleeves, and walked quickly. Shao Wenda also followed and said with a flattering smile: "Your Highness, I have another happy event to tell you."

"You mean that the poisonous scholar Lu Siyuan is going to join me?" Zhu Ren was surprised and stood up suddenly.
Getting Lu Siyuan is equivalent to getting half of the Jinyiwei. He never expected such good things to fall from the sky. He also knew the importance of the Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei was the eyes and ears of his father, so he also cultivated his minions in the Jinyiwei. However, that man was not good enough and could not even get along with a thousand households, so he had no effect at all. Lu Siyuan was different. If he really got this person, he would no longer have to worry about those things in the future.
"When will I bring him to see me?" Zhu Ren suddenly became impatient to see Lu Siyuan. He must win over Lu Siyuan at all costs.
"Your Highness, please don't worry. I believe that Lu Siyuan decided after careful consideration. In a few days, I will arrange for him to see Your Highness."
Shao Wenda made a point, and Zhu Chui gradually put Lu Siyuan down. He suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly: "How is the goods in Guangzhou? This batch of silver is very important to me, and there must be no mistakes."
"There is no news yet, but please rest assured that the two families have been working for You for four or five years and are familiar with the road. There will be no problems. I estimate that Japan's silver will arrive at the sea surface in Guangzhou from next month."
Zhu Ren nodded, "This time you have to keep a close eye on it. The number is huge, so don't make any trouble."
"I will definitely keep an eye on this matter. When there is any news, I will report it immediately."

The first day after the three kings entered Beijing, various conflicts gradually ended. When night fell, the streets and alleys of the capital gradually became quiet again. Passers-by hurried home, and the hustle and bustle of the day was covered by the heavy night.
At this time, the side door of the Qin King's Mansion opened, and Shao Wenda quickly walked out of the mansion. A carriage specially picked him up and dropped him off at the door. He got on the carriage, and the carriage started and soon disappeared into the night.
Shao Wenda had a house in Jiangning County. The carriage sent him outside the house and then returned to the Qin Palace. When the carriage walked away, Shao Wenda quietly looked out from the door. He confirmed that the carriage had gone far, so he recruited another carriage and returned to Shangyuan County. The carriage was parked next to the Yan Palace on Hubu Street. Shao Wenda looked around and quickly got out of the carriage and walked towards the back door of the Yan Palace.
He showed a jade sign to the doorman, and the doorman immediately opened the door. Shao Wenda flashed and entered the Yan Prince's Mansion.
King Yan Zhu Di was reading a book in the study at this time. The lights were soft. He was focused and very devoted. At this time, one of them walked in and whispered to report: "Your Highness, Mr. Shao is here."
"Please come in quickly!"
Zhu Di put down the book and happily welcomed out of the door. Shao Wenda, who was hurriedly walking towards him, saw the King of Yan coming to greet him in person. He quickly knelt down, "I am not good at ease to meet His Highness, the King of Yan!"
Zhu Di helped him up and complained: "I have said it many times. Mr. Shao doesn't have to kneel down, why don't he listen?"
"As soon as I saw Your Highness, I couldn't help but kneel down."
Zhu Di laughed loudly, "Mr. Shao is really interesting, come! Please come in quickly."
Zhu Di pulled Shao Wenda into the study, asked him to sit down, poured him a cup of tea with his own hands, and smiled and said, "This is the ginseng tea that Goryeo has just presented. Do you want to taste it? Are you used to drinking it?"
Shao Wenda was flattered with a teacup and said, "Your Highness, don't be so polite, you will kill the humble position."
"Okay, I want to thank you for the assassination at the beginning of the year, and I also want to thank you for notifying me in time."
When Shao Wenda mentioned the letter, he felt guilty and said regretfully: "That letter, Hu Zi, promised to hand it over to Your Highness personally. It was a humble and incompetent person and could not be done. Hu Zi, came to apologize to Your Highness."
Zhu Di waved his hand indifferently and said, "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. If you lose, you will lose. I don't care about it. But I have something else to confirm with Mr. Shao."
"Please speak with your throne!"
"I heard that the emperor suddenly punished King Jin for the letter. I was a little surprised. It should not be the turn of King Jin for this matter. Could it be that your prince did something that made the emperor change his decision to punish him?"
Zhu Di also heard some rumors about the King of Qin, but those were just rumors, and he could not confirm that he wanted to hear the exact news from Shao Wenda today.
Shao Wenda sighed and said, "Your Highness, I have two things to report to you in person today. One is this matter, and the other is about the Jinyiwei..."
"Talk about the Jinyiwei first." Zhu Di interrupted him, and the Jinyiwei was also very interested.
"Yes! I want to say that the poisonous scholar Lu Siyuan of the Jinyiwei has defected to His Highness the King of Qin."
"Oh! There is such a thing?" Zhu Di was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the extremely valuable Lu Siyuan would surrender to the King of Qin. After thinking for a moment, he realized that Lu Siyuan was also gambled! He sneered secretly. People who couldn't see the general trend could not accomplish anything. It seemed that Lu Siyuan was also famous and not worth worrying. Thinking of this, Zhu Di asked again: "Did he provide any valuable information?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, he said that the emperor punished King Jin to warn the king, especially the King of Qin, but I know that the actual situation is not the case."
Zhu Di sneered, is this Lu Siyuan just a little bit of vision? He asked again without saying a word: "Then tell me, what's going on in the actual situation? You are not allowed to hide it at all."
Shao Wenda pondered for a moment and said, "My prince is doing something shameful. He smuggled a large amount of silver from Japan to expand his army privately. He was preparing for the possible reduction of the vassal after the prince came to power. He sent someone else to carry out this matter in secret. I am not very familiar with it. I suspect that the emperor had already smelled a little bit of the wind, so in the case of the letter, the emperor only punished King Jin and let the King of Qin go because he was afraid of alarming the enemy."
Zhu Di didn't say anything for a long time. It was indeed a plot, but he didn't know about the smuggling of silver. It seemed that my second brother hid it very deeply! Since there was a suspected smuggling, I'm afraid that my father was really afraid of alerting the enemy. Fortunately, Shao Wenda told him.
"You're good to tell me this, and you'll do something for me."
Shao Wenda immediately replied in fear and fear: "Please give me the order."
Zhu Di walked a few steps in the room with his hands behind his back. A sinister smile suddenly flashed across his eyes, and he said to Shao Wenda: "I hope you can persuade the King of Qin to be more courageous and to show the courage of the King of Chang."
