Li Yu, who had realized that his deadline was approaching, looked at Yao Guangqi and begged: "Please take care of my daughter. I believe that King Yan will not make things difficult for a girl." After saying that, Li Yu suddenly burst into laughter, laughing heart-wrenchingly, and laughing without hesitation, and couldn't tell whether he was laughing or crying. He laughed so miserable and so sad. He pointed at everyone one by one: "Okay, okay. I've taken off the donkey, killed the bridge, crossing the river and demolished the bridge, and everyone pushed it. If I die, will you all be clean? The surname Zhao, you are..." Before Li Yu finished speaking, his head had already landed on the ground. The person who killed him was not someone else, but the man in black with the long sword.

The long swordsman turned around and smiled at the deputy sect leader: "You won't mind taking action rashly."

The deputy sect leader snorted coldly: "I haven't seen you how good your sword skills before, but today I still have some skills." After saying that, he didn't say hello to everyone, and he turned over the wall and disappeared into the night.

Yao Guangqi looked at the direction of the disappearance of the deputy sect leader, and glanced at Zhou Gongjin, the father and son of the Tang family and the swordsman. The scene tonight made him realize the subtlety and confusion of the relationship between all parties. He felt even more confused. Fortunately, the deaths of Li Yu and Jin Ruyi gave each party an acceptable result, and Peking can be calm for a while. Yao Guangqi shook his head and left.

Yao Guangqi did not return to the Yan Prince's Mansion, but went straight to the Censorate. He did not look for Chen Yueru, but went straight to Chen Shu's courtyard. For some reason, although the Censor was the yamen in charge of the criminal lawsuit prison, Yao Guangqi felt that the air here was refreshing and brighter than the Chief Secretary, and coming here was much easier and more pleasant than going to the Chief Secretary.

It was already dawn, and some servants in the mansion had already gotten up to work. Chen Shu also had the habit of getting up early and was walking in the yard. Yao Guangqi fell into the yard and coughed gently. Chen Shu turned around, frowned, and then smiled: "It seems that he hasn't been sleeping all night? Is there something important to come to me?"

Yao Guangqi nodded, "Please talk in the house."

"Li Yu is dead!" After coming in, Yao Guangqi told Chen Shu the first sentence.

"What? Dead? When did it happen? How did it die?" Chen Shu was so surprised that he couldn't stop talking.

"Just last night, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, the criminal Li Yu committed suicide because of his crime!" Yao Guangqi answered calmly.

Chen Shu was not stupid, and he immediately noticed something went wrong: "No, how did you know he was dead? How did you know that he committed suicide fearlessness?"

Yao Guangqi smiled: "Nothing is important. What is important is that Li Yu's death can give the court an explanation, which can temporarily settle the matter and let everyone be free."

"What do you mean? What does it mean to have a temporary settlement? Everyone is relieved, who are you?" Chen Shu felt that this matter was not simple.

Yao Guangqi closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair to sleep. He felt very tired and even more difficult to explain Chen Shu's problem clearly, so he simply stopped talking.

Seeing this, Chen Shu became more suspicious and then asked: "Is it involving a big shot? Is there anything that cannot be said? Is it the King of Yan?"

Yao Guangqi opened his eyes and looked at Chen Shu with a stern look he had never seen before: "There is no matter about the King of Yan, but if all this matter is revealed, it will not only cause waves in the court, but will definitely shake the world, cause uncontrollable major changes, and even arouse civil unrest."

Chen Shu stared at Yao Guangqi with incredible eyes: "Your will

Is there a bigger conspiracy behind this case?"

Yao Guangqi nodded: "I am not completely sure yet, but I have found clues, but only from the clues in front of me, once they are completely opened, I can't bear it, you can't bear it, and even the King of Yan can't bear it."

Chen Shu seemed to understand: "So I need to pretend to be confused and settle the case at this point, right?"

Yao Guangqi nodded: "Li Yu was corrupt and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a traitor in the country. He ended it and had an explanation to the court and the people."

Chen Shu walked to Yao Guangqi with a serious expression: "What I like about you is your integrity, not your timidity for certain goals. Since you are so cowardly, I will uncover this shocking case and give the people of the world an explanation."

Yao Guangqi stood up like lightning and held Chen Shu's hand tightly: "Sir, I don't advocate investigation, it's not because I'm afraid. The forces and background involved behind Li Yu are too huge. I rashly reveal it. You and I are small in personal wealth and life. If the other party really takes risks, how many innocent people will be different from each other's body and head, and how many innocent people will be put in a tragedy. For the sake of our plan, we are in a weak position, and we don't know the other party's power and purpose. If we can temporarily comfort them and avoid their sharp edges, we will definitely have the opportunity to bring these people to justice in the future. The current forbearance is for the future outbreak."

Yao Guangqi left and left without even calling him. He didn't want to force Chen Shu or argue with this upright elder. He understood Chen Shu. For a person who always takes the teachings of a saint as his code of conduct, and for a good person who is dedicated to benefiting the people, his words or strategies seem too dark.

Chen Shu sat quietly alone, his head was confused, he felt confused. The creeds and the teachings of the saints that he had always adhered to have had to surrender to power and the secular world. Will this be the beginning of his depravity?

For a whole day, Chen Shu had not yet entered the water, as if he had a serious illness. No matter whether it was the butler's advice or the comfort of his daughter, he could not pull him out of the quagmire of pain. The greatest loss of a person is the loss of faith.

At night, just when Chen Shu was still confused and unable to extricate himself, he came urgently to report: King Yan summoned him. Chen Shu smiled bitterly, and it was indeed here. I guess King Yan was just inspiring to express his righteousness with great enthusiasm, and then put the overall situation first and the world first and these words to comfort himself. In the end, he might give himself some benefits to comfort him.

Chen Shu didn't want to go. He didn't want to pretend to be wise and understand the righteousness against his will, and he didn't want to make himself a hypocritical person who made love. What's the difference between himself and a hypocrite? But he had to go. The King of Yan could not offend him anyway, so Chen Shu reluctantly came to the Prince Yan Mansion. However, as soon as he arrived at the Prince's Mansion, Chen Shu immediately felt something strange. There were obviously a guard in front of the Prince's Mansion. Looking out from outside the door, there were countless lanterns lit in the courtyard, and the whole courtyard was brightly lit. This was a bit unusual. Just to summon him, it was worth such a big battle?

When we arrived at the main hall of the royal palace, it was even more obvious that the governors and senators had already arrived. Seeing Chen Shu in, Zhu Di waved his hand and signaled that there was no need to salute. Then he said, "Mr. Chen is here. I will repeat it again. The governors in Peking are vacant and the court has not appointed them yet. However, the military situation is urgent. The king is in power and will be appointed by Lord. Chen will temporarily hold the position of governors in Peking.

All defenses, but if a Mongolian attacks the city, I should apologize for you, but I will cure your sins before apologizing.”

When Chen Shu heard this, he felt nervous. Could it be that the Mongolian army was coming? It was late summer and early autumn, and the Mongols had always gone south after autumn or winter. Moreover, they were just repelled by General Li Wenzhong last year, so why did they come again this year?

Zhu Di said loudly: "What is certain now is that the person who led the Mongolian army this time was the Grand Tutor Tamur. This man was a long-time general on the battlefield. He commanded 30,000 troops to go south in a large number of ways to avenge the defeat of last year. Before you come, I have written a memorial and asked the emperor to give me full authority to command the troops. I want to lead the troops to fight with this old man. Let him never dare to peek at the border of the Ming Dynasty again."

Speaking of this, Zhu Di turned his head and looked at a second-rank military officer and said, "You will order all the guards under the command of the Beiping Dushi immediately rectify their military equipment and send troops to resist the coming enemies at any time."

Chen Shu recognized the name of this second-rank military officer. This person was Zhang Jing, the commander of the capital of Peking. However, since this person was a military officer, Chen Shu rarely interacted with him on weekdays, so he did not know much. Zhang Jing bowed slightly and sat down. Then he said calmly: "Foreign enemies are invading, the prince is full of enthusiasm, and he is sincere in serving the country with a firm heart. But you have no talismans and no troops to be transferred at this moment. I forgive you for not obeying the order. Although you are directly under the Three Guards of Yanshan, you are not under the control of the Ministry of the People's Government, the generals must also advise the prince. It is best to wait until the imperial court's order to transfer troops to another action, otherwise the power of heaven will be unscrupulous, and the censor will be impeached without mercy."

Zhang Jing's words were clearly disobedient, but what he said was reasonable. People always said that they should follow the imperial court's military mobilization system. In fact, they used the imperial court to suppress Zhu Di. They were justified in resisting the imperial court's openness and justice. As a vassal king of the court, Zhu Di could not be against the court's rules.

Zhu Di naturally understood this truth, but how proud he was. As a vassal king, how could he allow someone to not obey his orders? What's more, if he could lead troops to fight independently this time, it was an excellent opportunity to show his talents to the emperor's father. He was determined to retreat to the enemy and make meritorious service, and you, a mere commander, dared to openly question his king's orders. Zhu Di's heart was picked up. He stood up, came to Zhang Jing, and said coldly: "Then are you not following my king's orders?"

Zhang Jing was a little uneasy. He heard Zhu Di's anger and felt Zhu Di's murderous aura even more. However, he was proud of the commander of the second-rank commander. He expected that Zhu Di would not dare to do anything to him, so he tried to calm himself down and said: "Don't be angry, the last general is not disobeying the order, but the court has a system, and the last general is under the control of the governor's office. Only the soldiers under the command of the Beiping Dushi can be dispatched only if the talismans of the court are combined."

Zhu Di grinned with a grim smile, and his right hand was tightly hilt, ready to draw his sword to kill Zhang Jing at any time. The room was filled with murderous aura. The officials around him also noticed Zhu Di's strangeness, and were nervously paying attention to the changes in the situation. Some even stood restless and twisted around the chair unconsciously.

Just as Zhu Di was about to draw his sword and the atmosphere in the room was extremely tense, the door suddenly opened, and a low-level officer ran to Zhu Di and whispered: "Prince, there is an emergency military report, please move."
