Officials of the Ming Dynasty went to court very early and were about to set off around the fourth hour. The time for the court was usually in the afternoon. After the Shen period of the afternoon, all officials began to go down court one after another to leave the imperial city. At this time, more than a dozen officials of the Jinyiwei who had changed their clothes also walked out of the bureau and joined the vast crowd of people in the court. Horse racing was not allowed in the imperial city. This was an iron rule set by Zhu Yuanzhang, so the officials walked down court and could only ride horses, sit in sedan chairs or carriages after walking out of Zhengyang Gate, and return home.

Jiang Yan's confidant Lu Siyuan also got off the court as usual. His family lived in Jiangning County and was traveling in a carriage. However, today he did not go home directly, but ordered the carriage to turn around. After making a big circle in the capital, the carriage turned north and drove towards the Imperial College. The Imperial College was the highest institution of the Ming Dynasty and the base camp for cultivating reserve officials. Here, great scholars gathered and famous scholars gathered. Many children of the royal family and powerful families also studied here. Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to his son's education. On the one hand, he invited famous scholars to educate his sons alone, and on the other hand, he would send his sons to the Imperial College to study every year. Now it is the end of June, which is the season for the princes and grandchildren to study in the Imperial College.

Just as Lu Siyuan advised Jiang Yan, he asked the King of Jin to convict himself, that is, he would secretly inform the King of Jin that he would commit a little sin, either minor or serious, and he would explain to the emperor based on this.

The King of Jin was fighting in the north of Mo at this time, and it was not convenient to notify him of the journey. However, according to Lu Siyuan's plan, the King of Jin could not directly inform him of this matter. Once the King of Jin was backfired, Jiang Yan could not bear the blame, so he had to find a roundabout way.

Lu Siyuan's eyes fell on Zhu Yuanzhang's other princes, and leaked the news to the prince who had a close relationship with the King of Jin, and asked him to inform him. Jiang Yan did not come forward, so Lu Siyuan would do it.

Of course, this is the plan planned by Lu Siyuan, and it is unknown whether there is selfishness in it.

Lu Siyuan was from Bashu. He was from a poor family since childhood. He studied hard. He passed the Juren fifteen years ago and was qualified to be an official. However, the Ming officials were really poor, and there was a risk of being beheaded and skinned. Lu Siyuan, who borrowed a lot of debts for studying, he hesitated in front of the official door. After a long time of pain, he finally embarked on another path and became an aide to the powerful. He first became an aide to the Chengdu prefect Ma Pi. In the eleventh year of Hongwu, King Zhu Chun of Shu founded his country in Chengdu, and Ma Pi recommended him to the King of Shu. However, the King of Shu valued a Confucian scholar who was proficient in scriptures and did not like his power-minded aides. He was always depressed and unsuccessful. By chance, Jiang Yan, who was the commander of the Jinyiwei, came to Chengdu to investigate the case. He took his talent and took him back to the capital and became his own aide.

Lu Siyuan was like a fish in the Jinyiwei, and he fully demonstrated his talents. He was thus attracted by Jiang Yan as a confidant. He planned countless major cases, including the empty seal case in the fifteenth year of Hongwu and the Guo Heng case in the eighteenth year of Hongwu. His personal wealth gradually accumulated in the cases where the houses were confiscated. When he no longer struggled for money, he would naturally consider his future. He knew that Jiang Yan would be slaughtered by Zhu Yuanzhang sooner or later, so he had to find a harder backer. Of course, this backer would be the next emperor.

In recent years, he has been observing Zhu Yuanzhang's successor. Although Zhu Biao was the crown prince, he was weak. Lu Siyuan was always a little doubtful. There have been rumors that the crown prince vomited blood recently. This incident greatly stimulated Lu Siyuan. If the crown prince could not succeed to the throne due to illness, then it would be*? Lu Siyuan then turned his eyes to Zhu Yuanzhang's second son, Zhu Ceng, King of Qin. If the crown prince is in misfortune, the Qin King will become the eldest son. According to Zhu Yuanzhang's principle of establishing a eldest son, he should be the throne.

Lu Siyuan was waiting for the opportunity until Jiang Yan told him that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to punish the King of Jin in the case of the letter-winning case. Lu Siyuan knew that his chance to approach the King of Qin had finally come.

Lu Siyuan's carriage was parked outside the special area where the Imperial College was dedicated to the children of powerful people. Lu Siyuan's biggest feature was that he liked to use fake hands and was unwilling to say anything by himself, including this time he approached the King of Qin.

It was already dark at this time. After a while, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, who were responsible for protecting the safety of the princes, ran forward to report, "Mr. Lu, the Seventeenth King is welcome, please follow me!"

Lu Siyuan nodded, he got off the carriage and followed the hundred households into this special area with strict security. There were more than 20 princes and grandchildren studying here, each with his own private courtyard, each with several eunuchs to serve, and the Jinyiwei was responsible for protecting their safety.

Zhu Yuanzhang's seventeen sons were named Zhu Quan, who later King Ning. However, he has not been named the king yet and is studying in the Imperial College. He has been very talented since childhood and has never forgotten his books. He is known as a genius. He is only twelve years old this year, but his words and deeds are no different from adults. He is the most beautiful and wise among Zhu Yuanzhang's sons. He is deeply loved by Zhu Yuanzhang and his brothers. He is generally called the Seventeen Kings. He has a good relationship with all his brothers, including the closest relationship with the second brother, King Qin and King Jin.

At this moment, the young Seventeen King was sitting in his room and staring at the famous post in front of him: Lu Siyuan, a lay Buddhist in Dongge, he has heard of who Lu Siyuan is. He is known as the Du Xiushi of the Jinyiwei and Jiang Yan's chief aide. He knew that it must be Jiang Yan who had something to look for him, but why?

Just when Zhu Quan was puzzled, one of his book boys came in and reported: "Mr. Lu is here and is looking for a meeting outside."

"Please come in!" Zhu Quan calmed down his thoughts and waited for the arrival of this uninvited guest.

After a moment, the door opened, and Lu Siyuan walked in under the guidance of a eunuch. He knelt down respectfully and bowed, "The grass-roots Lu Siyuan bowed to His Highness the Seventeenth King."

Zhu Quan sighed secretly. If he was also called Cao Min, there would be no ordinary people in the world who were more powerful than him. There were thousands or tens of thousands of ministers who died indirectly at his hands over the years.

"I don't have a title yet, so Mr. Lu doesn't have to be too polite." Zhu Quan waved his hand and said, "Mr. Lu, please sit down!"

Lu Siyuan sat down and smiled and said, "I was entrusted by Jiang's command to tell the prince a word."

Seeing that he was straight to the point, Zhu Quan shook his eyes at the eunuch who was serving him. The eunuch closed the door and stepped back.

"Mr. Lv, please speak frankly."

Seeing that he looked calm, no one was as panicked as anyone else when he heard that the Jinyiwei had something to do, he nodded secretly. It is said that this son is young and good at planning, talented and premature, and indeed has a good reputation.

He smiled and said, "Commander Jiang received a handwritten order from the emperor early this morning and ordered him to deal with the King of Jin."

Lu Siyuan said this matter lightly. Although Zhu Quan was calm, he was still shocked by the news. After a while, he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Lu, what's wrong here?"

"I don't know what the specific situation is. According to Commander Jiang, it seems to be related to a hundred households of Jinyiwei named Li Weizheng. It seems to involve a letter from the prince."

Lu Siyuan said half-exposed and half-hiddenly, and gradually lured Zhu Quan to ask. Zhu Quan didn't know about the letter. He silently read the name 'Li Weizheng' several times, and asked again: "This matter is related to the third brother, why did Commander Jiang come to me?"

"That's right, Commander Jiang felt very embarrassed, but he did not dare to contact King Jin directly. He knew that the Seventeenth King had a good relationship with King Jin, so he wanted to ask the Seventeenth King to tell King Jin that he would cooperate with the Jinyiwei's investigation."

Zhu Quan was talented and smart. He immediately understood what Lu Siyuan meant and nodded and said, "Please rest assured Mr. Lu. I will immediately inform my third brother that I will remember this favor as well."

"It's a secret matter, so I shouldn't keep it too long, so I'll say goodbye first!"

Lu Siyuan stood up and bowed his hand, then walked out, Zhu Quan sent him to the door and smiled and said, "I thank Mr. Lu for this favor."

But Lu Siyuan suddenly stopped and said to Zhu Quan meaningfully: "I just forgot something, it seems that the emperor also mentioned His Highness the King of Qin last night."

This is what he really wants to say tonight. He knew that if he threw down this bait, there would definitely be a big fish to bite the hook.

Lu Siyuan disappeared into the night, and Zhu Quan looked at his back and frowned.
