As soon as the news of Zhu Chuang being demoted to King Fusang came out, the entire court was in an uproar. Because Zhu Chuang's crimes had not been made public before, many ministers did not know what had happened? However, Lao Zhu was a person who wanted to save face and did not explain it afterwards. He just vaguely said that Zhu Chuang had committed the crime of disobedience. Although many ministers felt something was wrong, they did not dare to ask more questions.

That morning, Li Jie reported to Lao Zhu about the situation of the fleet. This fleet should be the last fleet to go to sea before the New Year. It was mainly because Zhu Di made a transaction with Yoshihiro Ouchi last time and agreed to support them with a batch of supplies. In addition, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and many merchants also wanted to take this opportunity to transport a batch of goods to Goryeo and Japan, so the fleet this time was also quite large.

As for Zhu Chuang and others going to sea, Li Jie also arranged it almost as soon as possible. The original Qin Wang Mansion had three guards, but Zhu Chuang would definitely not take them all away. In fact, the only one he could take away was only two thousand guards, and the rest had to stay in Xi'an. There were also some staff members and servants of the royal mansion. In the end, there were more than two thousand people, and a special fleet was needed to be arranged to transport them, which doubled the scale of the fleet that went to sea this time.

Old Zhu did not regret the fact that he demoted Zhu Ceng to Japan. In fact, he had been urging Li Jie to arrange the fleet quickly, so that Zhu Ceng could leave the capital as soon as possible, and he would be out of sight.

Only Zhu Biao was still extremely reluctant to leave Zhu Chuang. During this period, he often visited Zhu Chuang alone with wine and food. Every time he came back, he was in a bad mood. He even tried to persuade Lao Zhu to take back Cheng Sheng, but Lao Zhu scolded him again.

After Li Jie reported on the situation of the fleet, he said goodbye to Lao Zhu and left the warm-up hall. It was almost noon at this time, and Li Jie was also preparing to find Zhu Yunxiu, but at this moment, suddenly someone shouted behind him: "Brother Jinghai stayed!"

Li Jie turned his head to look when he heard this, but he saw an old man over 60 years old walking quickly. Li Jie knew him. The other party was named Zhan Hui, and he was appointed as the Minister of Personnel. He was one of Lao Zhu's most trusted ministers. Especially after Lao Zhu abandoned the prime minister, the Minister of the Six Ministry was more important than before. The Ministry of Personnel, which is known as the leader of the Six Ministry, was even more important. The ability of Zhan Hui to sit in this position also represents Lao Zhu's respect for him.

"It turned out to be Secretary Zhan. I wonder what's going on with him?" Li Jie immediately smiled and said with a smile, but he was a little wary. Zhan Hui was an old fox in the officialdom and was very slick, especially because he had a very accurate grasp of Lao Zhu's mind and put Lao Zhu first in everything. This is also the main reason why he was able to firmly hold the position of Minister of Personnel.

Zhan Hui came to Li Jie, stroked his beard and showed a bright smile and said, "Boy Jinghai is young and promising, and he is deeply trusted by His Majesty. I have long wanted to make friends with Boy Jinghai. If I am now, why should we find a restaurant to eat and chat?"

Seeing that Zhan Hui did not talk about the serious business, but wanted to invite himself to dinner, Li Jie became even more alert and smiled again and said, "Shangshu Zhan is so polite. I also want to have fun with the Shangshu, but I still have something to do when I go to the prince's place. If the Shangshu has something to do, it's better to just say it. As for drinking, let's have another day!"

Li Jie didn't want to have too much connection with a slutty like Zhan Hui. In fact, the reason why he was deeply trusted by Lao Zhu was not only his own ability, but Li Jie was a person who was out of the court and had no deep entanglement with the officials in the court. This was also Li Jie did it on purpose, because Li Shanchang was so powerful that he caused a murderous disaster. Li Jie didn't want to follow his old path.

Seeing Li Jie rejection, Zhan Hui was not angry at all. Instead, he showed a regretful expression and said again: "Since Jinghai Bo has something to do, I won't force it, but I have something I want to ask Jinghai Bo for inquiries!"

Zhan Hui deliberately paused when he said this, then looked around and asked in a low voice: "The King of Qin was demoted to King Fusang. This incident caused a great shock in the court. All civil and military officials were talking about it, but no one dared to ask His Majesty for the reason. You are deeply trusted by Your Majesty. I believe you should know the reason for the King of Qin being demoted?"

When Li Jie heard Zhan Hui ask about this, he looked at the Minister of Personnel with a smile, and then asked back: "Shangshu Zhan really want to know the reason?"

Zhan Hui is a personal talent. Lao Zhu did not announce the real reason why Zhu Ceng was demoted was that he did not want to lose face, nor did he want his ministers to inquire. Zhan Hui could become Lao Zhu's confidant, so of course he would not make such a low-level mistake.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Jie said, Zhan Hui immediately showed an awkward look, and then laughed dryly and said again: "Actually, I am not very interested in the reason why the King of Qin was demoted, but many officials below asked me, so I wanted to know about it."

"Shangshu Zhan, just tell me if you have anything!" Li Jie didn't want to be careless with Zhan Hui anymore, so he asked directly. He had already seen that Zhan Hui came to him not to ask about Zhu Chuang's affairs, but to have other things.

Zhan Hui was also a little embarrassed by Li Jie's words, but he quickly recovered and smiled again: "Jing Haibo is indeed extremely intelligent, so I said it straight!"

Zhan Hui suddenly stopped here, then pulled Li Jie to a corner, and then whispered again: "Two days ago, Your Majesty summoned us to discuss matters, and he actually proposed the matter of moving the capital, but Your Majesty did not say where to move to, but asked us to go back and think about it, and then each submitted a memorial to state the location and reasons for the capital he chose."

"Your Majesty didn't tell you where the capital was moved?" Li Jie also showed a look of surprise when he heard this. He thought that after he and Zhu Biao persuaded Lao Zhu to set the location of the capital in Peiping Prefecture last time, Lao Zhu would convene the ministers to discuss, but he did not expect that the discussion would be discussed, but Lao Zhu had a mystery to the ministers again.

"So, Uncle Jinghai, you know where Your Majesty wants to move the capital!" Zhan Hui was shocked when he heard Li Jie's replies, and immediately asked again. He came to Li Jie to inquire about this matter. If he could know the location of the capital chosen by His Majesty, he would be able to get ahead of the way to know Lao Zhu's idea and keep pace with Lao Zhu.

"This... I do know." Li Jie pondered for a moment and finally nodded.

"I wonder if Jing Haibo can tell me?" Zhan Hui asked anxiously again. When he reached his position, the most difficult thing was to grasp the emperor's thoughts. It can be said that as long as he could grasp Lao Zhu's thoughts, his position as Shangshu would be extremely stable, and no one would think of replacing him.

"Sorry, I can't say it!" Li Jie shook his head and refused. Although he didn't want to offend Zhan Hui, he didn't want to make Lao Zhu dislike it. After all, Lao Zhu's Jinyiwei was omnipresent. If he knew that he had leaked some secrets in a day, it would be troublesome.

Faced with Li Jie's rejection, Zhan Hui also narrowed his eyes. He was the Minister of Personnel. It can be said that after there was no prime minister, all officials were led by him, and few people dared to reject his request.

However, Zhan Hui also knew that Li Jie was not an ordinary person, and his identity did not put too much pressure on Li Jie, so he quickly smiled again: "Brother Jinghai, don't rush to refuse. I can exchange it with you with other news. And if Bo Jinghai has any needs in the future, I am willing to help you!"

"I'm not interested!" Li Jie refused more directly. After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. He didn't want to get too close to Zhan Hui, let alone make any deals with him.

"Wait a minute, don't you want to know what news I used to exchange for?" Zhan Hui saw that Li Jie was about to leave, and immediately stepped forward to stop him again and said.

"No matter what kind of news, I'm not interested!" Li Jie refused again. After saying that, he ignored Zhan Hui and took another step to leave.

But at this moment, Zhan Hui followed two steps to Li Jie and whispered: "Are you not interested in the news related to the Jinyiwei, Jing Hai Bo, either?"

"Embroidered Uniform Guard?" Li Jie finally stopped when he heard this, and at the same time turned his head to look at Zhan Hui. Embroidered Uniform Guard was Lao Zhu's eyes and ears. The news related to it must be no trivial matter, so Li Jie was of course interested.

Seeing that Li Jie finally stopped, Zhan Hui finally showed a proud smile and said again: "It seems that Jing Hai Bo is interested in my news. It is better to do this. Tell me the location of the capital to move, and I will tell you the news about the Jinyiwei. You must know that this matter is also a huge event for the Jinyiwei, and it will even cause many people to lose their heads!"

Li Jie didn't know what Zhan Hui was going to say, but when he heard the words "turning upside down" after him, Li Jie suddenly guessed what he was going to say, and immediately chuckled: "Is what Zhan Shangshu wants to say Mao Xiang's business, right?"

"You...how do you know?" Zhan Hui heard Li Jie say Mao Xiang's name and immediately said in shock. Only he should know about this. How could Li Jie know about it? Has Your Majesty already trusted him to such a level?

Li Jie was not sure at first, but seeing Zhan Hui's expression finally made him affirm his guess, which made him smile again and said: "The birds are gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys are cooked, Mao Xiang takes his own way, no one else's fault!"

After Li Jie said that, he didn't stop and left here, leaving Zhan Hui with a shocked look. After a long time, he finally breathed and said in shock: "He actually knows that it seems that I underestimated him too much before!"

Li Jie, who was walking away, also smiled at this time. When Jiang Yan was transferred back to the capital, he knew that Mao Xiang's good days were coming to an end. Now more than a year has passed, and Jiang Yan should have already touched the Jinyiwei up and down. As long as Mao Xiang died, he could take over the Jinyiwei at any time.
