Chapter 71
Zhu Yunwen was supported by the eunuch and returned to the East Palace. He was lying on the bed, sweating uncontrollably, trembling all over his body, and his eyes were full of horror.

He hardly dared to close his eyes. As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw those people struggling in the fire and howling, but they lost their breath after a while.

A burnt and unpleasant smell came out, making people sick.

The miserable scene in the fire was something he had never seen in his life.

The maid hurriedly wiped the cold sweat off his head, and fed him ginseng soup to supplement his consumption.

Seeing that her precious son was frightened into such a state, Mrs. Lu was heartbroken, and thinking about it made her even angrier.

He said with a livid face: "He himself is not afraid of taboos, and he acts unscrupulously. Doesn't he consider influencing others? He is simply lawless, and he contradicts in public. Does he still have brotherhood in his eyes?"

With angry eyebrows, he said to the maid: "Go! Call him here!"

"Mother..." Zhu Yunwen shouted, with complicated eyes.

Seeing his son like this, Mrs. Lu understood that it was because of his self-esteem, and he didn't want to lose face in front of others, especially in front of his younger brother who had been neglected by him.

In order to take into account the dignity of her son, Mrs. Lu had no choice but to hold back her anger and said to the maid: "Forget it, we are all one family, and people should not think that I am a concubine mother and concubine who treats the youngest son harshly!"

Mrs. Lu understood that Zhu Yunxuan would compete with him for the position of grandson in the future, and there would definitely be many confrontations. At this time, even the slightest disadvantage cannot be lost!

If you lose the wind, you will lose your confidence!
At this time, a palace lady reported: "Report to the Crown Princess, Mr. Huang, the companion of the East Palace, has come to teach His Highness, and is already waiting in the Benren Hall."

Lu frowned slightly, and rubbed the silk handkerchief in her palm. She knew that Huang Zicheng must have something important to discuss when he came here at this time.

But looking at his son's mental weakness, he couldn't bear to tire him, but he couldn't go by himself. After all, he had to abide by the etiquette and not let people spread any gossip, otherwise it would have a devastating impact on his son!
She seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked, "Where is the Third Highness, what is he doing now? Is your body well?".

The maid replied: "Report to the Crown Princess, Your Highness the Third Highness is listening to Mr. Qi's lectures in the Jiyi Hall."

Lu's eyes opened, and he held the handkerchief tightly and said firmly: "Go and tell Mr. Huang that His Highness is taking a bath and changing clothes, and he will go later, please wait a moment."

My son must not lose to him!
"Yes! The maid obeys the order!" The palace maid followed the order and retreated.

Mrs. Lu ordered everyone: "Change clothes for Your Highness." Thinking that he was so angry that his words might be inappropriate, so he stared at them and threatened: "If you spread a word about what happened today, you will be killed immediately!"

The palace maid and eunuch was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty, saying that she didn't dare, Lu nodded in satisfaction.

Under the service of the court lady, Zhu Yunwen washed up and changed into brand-new clothes of the king of the county, and he looked quite energetic.

After arriving at the Benren Hall, he sent away the maids and eunuchs under the pretext of not disturbing His Highness's study, and kept them away.

Huang Zicheng immediately said excitedly: "Your Highness, Crown Princess, this is a good opportunity!"

Without waiting for them to ask, he said: "This time, His Highness the Third Highness committed suicide without trial by the Ministry of Punishment, and more than a dozen lives were burned alive in front of the Dudu's Mansion. You will lose your mind!"

Zhu Yunwen held back the anger in his chest, saluted and asked: "Sir, you mean general..."

Huang Zicheng waved his hand and said: "The generals are not the key. Although His Highness the Third Prince killed their people, he has a close relationship with them after all. This will not be shaken for a while, but the Xungui Group is definitely not feeling well."

Huang Zicheng's eyes almost glowed with excitement, "Your Highness, what I'm talking about is the civil servant group of the six ministries of the imperial court! They will surely share the same hatred!"

Mrs. Lu was puzzled and said: "The civil servants should be happy after killing the general. Why did they react like this?"

With a smile on his face, Huang Zicheng didn't reply directly, but asked, "I heard that His Highness the Third Highness personally killed an eunuch in the East Palace some time ago?"

"That's true."

When Lu thought of this, she felt aggrieved, her confidant was gone like this, and she didn't even have an explanation!

Huang Zicheng showed a deceitful smile on his face and said: "The third highness has murdered one after another, so viciously, it is not much worse than the current emperor, how can all the officials expect the successor to be the one who kills?!"

"Exactly that!"

It was only then that Lu and Zhu Yunwen suddenly realized that Zhu Yuanzhang's methods were brutal and he was notorious for his cruelty to all officials. Any official who is not fearful and trembling.

Most of the reason why they support and love the prince Zhu Biao in their hearts is because of Zhu Biao's kindness.

Being a courtier under a benevolent king, you don't have to be nervous, you don't have to be cautious, and you don't have to worry about being dismissed from office for a small mistake and hurting your wife and children.

This is also human nature, who doesn't want their leader to be tolerant, it is best not to ask anything, that is a good leader and a good boss!
Huang Zicheng continued to explain: "The Third Highness is so tough, and this matter has left a handle, as long as you guide the officials a little bit, they will definitely attack together!"

Lu's eyes also showed brilliance: "Mr. Huang means..."

Huang Zicheng nodded, and said firmly: "It's possible! But even if His Majesty doesn't express his attitude immediately, it's okay, you can win all the officials to our side,
And we are also following the trend, not intending to win over, no one can say anything, when the time comes, with the support of the civil servant group, it will be enough to compete with the Xungui Group! "

Both Lu's and Zhu Yunwen's faces flushed when they heard this, and they were obviously in a good mood. Originally, Lu's natal family belonged to civil servants, and they were incomparable with the Xungui Group.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang has repeatedly cleaned up civil servants, killing batch after batch, and none of the civil servants would dare to group together to provoke taboos. Therefore, the civil servants at this time belong to the situation of personal self-sweeping, not caring about others, and each taking care of himself. .

Therefore, the influence and voice of civil servants appear to be very weak.

In addition, Zhu Yunqi was born as a concubine, so he did not have the advantage of righteousness, and he was weak in etiquette.

If it weren't for the support of Lu's family, who would somewhat recover from the disadvantages, coupled with the favor of the prince and the concern of Zhu Yuanzhang, there would be qualified competition there.

But it's all right now!

If he can quietly win over the civil servants to his side, then he will be a great backer!
Huang Zicheng said in a seductive manner: "As long as the news is released, let the officials know how His Highness the Third Highness is rampant in the East Palace and how to kill people recklessly, the officials will certainly be on pins and needles, and the court meeting in the future will be full of enthusiasm!"

Huang Zicheng said again affirmatively: "Warning the country depends on military generals, and governing the world depends on civil officials, so the opinions of civil officials are more important to His Majesty at this time! Your Highness Wanwang, don't miss this opportunity!"

Mrs. Lu thanked him and said, "Thank you Mr. Huang, I will not disappoint you..."

After sending Huang Zicheng away, Lu ordered someone to hear Cui Wen, the eunuch of the Pharmacy Bureau, who was recovering from his injuries. He beat and reprimanded him severely, and then sent him out of the palace after ordering some words that should not be treated by outsiders...
