It was already late at night, and Li Jie sat alone in the study. There were a few side dishes on the table in front of him. However, although he was the only one, he had two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, which seemed like someone was waiting for a banquet?

Just after the second update, when someone knocked on the door gently, Li Jie smiled and stood up and opened the door himself. When he opened the door, he saw Jiang Yan standing outside, which made Li Jie laugh again and said, "Brother Jiang, please come in!"

"Brother Li, you are polite. I should have visited you long ago, but you also know my current identity, so I hope Brother Li will forgive me!" Jiang Yan bowed to Li Jie at this time and said with a smile. Although he had not seen each other for many days, the two still maintained their original titles.

Jiang Yan has been back to the capital for more than a year, but in the past year, he and Li Jie have basically not moved at all. Even if they meet occasionally, they nodded and did not have any conversation.

This is not because the relationship between the two has broken down, but because they are both smart people and know their location. For example, Jiang Yan is now a senior executive of the Jinyiwei, while Li Jie is Lao Zhu's confidant. If they are too close, let alone what others will think. It will be difficult for the suspicious Lao Zhu to pass the level.

"Brother Jiang doesn't need to explain. You and I know the current situation!" Li Jie smiled and then asked the other party to come into the room and sit down. He personally poured wine for the other party, "Brother Jiang, you have been back for more than a year. I wonder how you feel in the Jinyiwei?"

When he mentioned the Jinyiwei, Jiang Yan immediately sighed, reached out to drink the wine and said, "I'm not hiding it from Brother Li, I've been very cowardly this year. Commander Mao disliked me and always deliberately asked me for trouble. But I can't afford to offend him. I can only swallow my anger and live a life of silence. I regret coming back from Goryeo now!"

"Brother Jiang, you didn't tell the truth. Are you just a scattered life this year?" Li Jie smiled again when he heard this. With his understanding of Jiang Yan, the other party was definitely not a scattered life. Moreover, with his ability, even with Mao Xiang's suppression, it would be difficult to hide Jiang Yan's light.

Sure enough, Jiang Yan smiled again when he heard Li Jie's words and said, "Of course I have not been idle this year. On the surface, Mao Xiang covered the sky in the Jinyiwei. No one except His Majesty can control him. But he is a domineering person and has offended many people. Even in the Jinyiwei, there are some people who oppose him. So I have also secretly contacted these people this year, and now I have finally achieved some results."

"Brother Jiang is indeed amazing. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and Brother Jiang is the one who is prepared!" Li Jie couldn't help but exclaim when he heard this. No wonder Jiang Yan was able to replace Mao Xiang as the commander of the Jinyiwei in history. This person does have a few tricks.

Jiang Qi's eyes lit up when he heard Li Jie's words, because he had already heard Li Jie's implication, and immediately asked again: "Brother Li, have you heard any wind from His Majesty?"

"It's almost the same. Actually, when you first came back, I felt that Your Majesty was going to attack the Jinyiwei, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to be so patient and never attacked until now." Li Jie smiled again.

Lao Zhu's usual temper is very irritable, which also gives outsiders an illusion that he thinks Lao Zhu is an impatient person, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that Lao Zhu has always been very patient in major matters, otherwise he would not accept the suggestion of "responsible as king, accumulate grain, and build high walls". People who are not patient will definitely not be able to do this.

"So, I finally have a day to make a comeback!" Jiang Yan sat upright and said with surprise when he heard this. Although Li Jie had mentioned to him that Mao Xiang's position might be unstable, he had just been back for so long and had not endured it. Sometimes he even doubted whether he had to endure it all the time?

"Brother Jiang, your day of success is not far away, but I still want to remind Brother Jiang that you must learn from Mao Xiang's lessons in the future and never follow his old path!" Li Jie reminded him solemnly at this time.

The power of the Jinyiwei is too great. If the people in power are not restrained, it may arouse the vigilance of those in power. For example, Mao Xiang and Lao Zhu are now ready to give up. Later, the Jinyiwei is divided into two north and south garrisons. In addition, the establishment of the East Factory and even the West Factory is essentially to restrain the Jinyiwei and prevent the Jinyiwei from becoming the only one in power, thus threatening the imperial power.

"I understand, thank you Brother Li for your reminder!" Jiang Yan thanked Li Jie again after hearing this. He was a smart person, and of course he also understood what Li Jie meant. If he didn't want to follow Mao Xiang's old path, he would have to be more restrained in the future and be low-key in his behavior. It would be best if people would not notice his existence.

"Haha, Brother Jiang is a smart person. I won't mention anything else. I'll give you a glass first!" Li Jie immediately raised his glass and said.

"Thank you Brother Li's Ji's words!" Jiang Yan also raised his glass with a smile. The two of them touched each other before drinking it all.

Then Li Jie asked Jiang Yan to eat food, and the two of them also talked while eating. Because they hadn't been walking around for so long, Li Jie also wanted to ask Jiang Yan about the movements in the palace. Li Jie also asked Li Jie about the movements in the palace. Li Jie picked some things that could be said, but they didn't mention them even if they couldn't say anything. Jiang Yan was a smart person, and of course he knew that some things would be best not to know, even if Li Jie dared to say it, he wouldn't dare to listen.

"By the way, Hu Jiang, the Jinyiwei Qianhu, seems to have a complicated relationship with Brother Li?" At this time, Jiang Yan suddenly stopped the chopsticks and smiled at Li Jie again.

"Why did Brother Jiang suddenly mention Uncle Hu?" Li Jie was stunned when he heard this, and then looked up at him and asked. With Jiang Yan's identity, he must have known the complex relationship between him and Hu Jiang.

"Hehe, it's nothing, but Hu Jiang is a very sloppy person. He said he was Mao Xiang's man, but he didn't look like him. I once tried to recruit him, but he didn't say anything. This made me a little worried. If Mao Xiang falls down in the future, I'm afraid he..."

Jiang Yan didn't say anything more in the end. Hu Jiang did not stand on the side. On the surface, it seemed that neither side offended, but in fact he was a fence-ridden faction. Sometimes such people were the most dangerous, because no matter which faction was in power in the future, they might clean up these fence-ridden people. Jiang Yan knew that Li Jie and Hu Jiang had a complicated relationship, so he kindly reminded him.

Li Jie also showed a meditative expression when he heard this. His relationship with Hu Jiang was indeed very complicated. Although the other party was a very snobbish person, he could try his best to take care of the Li family at critical moments. Later, Li Jie also reminded Hu Jiang to keep a distance from Mao Xiang and not be implicated by Mao Xiang. Now it seems that although Hu Jiang has listened, his approach is still problematic.

"This... I'll find a chance to have some fun with him!" Li Jie finally spoke, because he suddenly thought about the last time he saw the lady of the Hu family. Although the two were not destined to be together, he couldn't bear to see the Hu family unlucky.

"Brother Li is really a person who values ​​love and friendship!" Jiang Yan couldn't help but joking and half-serious when he heard this. Hu Jiang was so polite to Li Jie, but Li Jie didn't care at all. Jiang Yan asked himself that he couldn't do it, but the more Li Jie was like this, the more he felt that Li Jie was a friend.

"Oh, the relationship between our two families is far more complicated than what you know about Brother Jiang. Sometimes, if you can help me, just help me!" Li Jie also smiled again.

Li Jie and Jiang Qi talked until the end of the third day, and Jiang Qi said goodbye and left. This time he came to see Li Jie avoided everyone. Li Jie also sent the servants at home to prevent others from knowing about their meeting.

Finally, Li Jie personally sent Jiang Yan away. After watching the other party's figure disappear into the night, Li Jie returned to the room with his hands behind his back. Mao Xiang was finally about to fall, and the Jinyiwei was about to change the world. However, with Lao Zhu's temperament, it is estimated that the authority of the Jinyiwei will be weakened again in the future. Because after several major cases, the Jinyiwei's power expanded too quickly, which has caused dissatisfaction among the ministers. If the Jinyiwei is not rectified, it may cause greater chaos.

The next morning, Li Jie entered the palace as usual. He had not planned to see Lao Zhu, but was suddenly called to Dongnuan Pavilion by Lao Zhu. After entering, he saw Zhu Biao with a frustrated face and Lao Zhu who was sitting behind the desk with anger. It seemed that there was another quarrel between the father and son.

Li Jie has long been used to this situation. The father-son relationship between Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao is very deep, but the deep relationship does not prevent them from quarreling. This is like some couples, and they are usually noisy. In fact, the relationship may be better than some couples who do not quarrel. Noisy is more like the way they get along with each other. This is also the case between Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao and his son.

"See Your Majesty!" Li Jie quickly stepped forward and saluted Lao Zhu.

"No need to be polite. Didn't you say that the fleet is ready and can set off at any time?" Old Zhu waved his hand and asked again.

"Yes, the fleet is ready, and the King of Qin and others can board the ship at any time!" Li Jie also replied immediately, and at the same time he immediately guessed the reason for the quarrel between Zhu Biao and Lao Zhu, probably because of Zhu Ceng's trip to Japan.

"Very good, I'll order you to take Zhu Chuang on the ship immediately and escort him to sea!" Old Zhu gritted his teeth and ordered again, staring at Zhu Biao angrily as he spoke.

"Ah? I'm going too?" Li Jie was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that Old Zhu actually asked him to escort Zhu Chuang himself.

"You don't have to go out to sea. Just escort him to the sea port and then you can come back. But before that, you have to keep an eye on Zhu Ci. No matter what request he makes, you will not agree at all!" Old Zhu ordered again.

"I... obey the order!" Li Jie looked at Zhu Biao next to him as he spoke, and finally nodded.
