My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 181 Dispel suspicion

Zhu Di held a banquet in the Hall of Martial Ying, and personally greeted the king of Shu, with Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanhe sitting beside him.

At the banquet, no one mentioned Zhu Yuexiu's matter again, as if the previous conversation never happened at all.

When the banquet was over, Zhu Chun bid farewell and left, but Zhu Di winked at Zhu Zhanhe.

Zhu Zhanhe immediately understood, and immediately ran after him.

Zhu Chun drank some wine and was supported by the eunuch when he left, so he didn't walk quickly.

Soon Zhu Zhanhe caught up with the King of Shu, stepped forward to salute with a smile, and said, "King of Shu, stay a step, I have something to talk to you alone!"

"Oh? What do you want to say, Shizi?"

Hearing this, Zhu Chun also stood up straight, waved his hand to let the eunuch who was supporting him step back and asked.

"It's like this. Recently, I have had a lot of contacts with the Chongyang County King, and he also told me something about the Shu Palace."

Zhu Zhanhe seemed a little embarrassed when he said this.

"What did he say?"

The King of Shu's face darkened when he heard the words, as if he had already guessed something?
"Actually, it's nothing. The king of Chongyang County said that he was framed by others. He was so drunk that day that he couldn't have broken into the inner house of the palace!"

Zhu Zhanhe also stopped playing riddles, and directly raised the topic.

"Hmph, this unworthy son, he has the face to speak out about such scandals!"

The Prince of Shu's face turned livid. Although he was just a concubine, it would be embarrassing to say such a thing.

"Don't be angry, king of Shu. After investigation by Jin Yiwei and I, the king of Chongyang County may really be wronged!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhanhe suddenly said again.

Last time he promised Zhu Yuexiu that he would help him investigate the matter of him being framed, and now there are some clues.

"Jin Yiwei is also investigating this matter?"

The king of Shu frowned even more when he heard this. The more people who knew about it, the more dull his old face would be. Therefore, if possible, he really didn't want any outsiders to know about the family scandal.

"Jin Yiwei's participation in this matter also hopes to investigate clearly, so as to return Chongyang County King innocent, and according to the information they investigated, after Chongyang County King got drunk that day, he was actually taken away by Huayang County King, and Afterwards, the few people who drank with the King of Chongyang received a generous reward, and some even moved to live in other places."

Zhu Zhanhe directly told what Jin Yiwei had investigated.

The King of Huayang County is Zhu Yueyao's second elder brother Zhu Yueyao. That day after Zhu Yuexiu got drunk, Zhu Yueyao, who had always been at odds with him, suddenly appeared and took him away. The next day Zhu Yuexiu appeared in the concubine's room of the King of Shu. The process can be guessed even if you don't say it.

"This matter is serious, did Jin Yiwei really find out about this?"

The king of Shu was also taken aback when he heard the words. Although he was skeptical, he already believed it in his heart.

"The people who drank with the king of Chongyang County that day have been found by Jin Yiwei. They have confessed, and the confession is in Fusi, Beizhen. If the king of Shu doesn't believe it, you can go and check it at any time!"

Zhu Zhanhe paused at this point, and then said again.

"In addition, the people around that concubine in your house must have serious problems. If you are willing to let Jin Yiwei enter the house to investigate the case, I believe more things will be found!"

"No need, these are enough for now!"

The King of Shu waved his hands weakly, for him, knowing these things was enough, as for the other truths, they were actually not important anymore.

"It seems that the king was wrong about this matter, thank you son for finding out the truth for Yuexiu!"

Zhu Chun saluted Zhu Zhanhe as he spoke.

"You are too polite. I hit it off with Chongyang County King, and I should help him."

Zhu Zhanhe smiled and said politely.

After seeing off the King of Shu, Zhu Zhanhe turned back to the Wuying Hall, only to see Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi were also waiting for him.

"What did the King of Shu say?"

Zhu Gaochi asked eagerly.

"Father and son both said the same thing, Chongyang County King was indeed framed by Huayang County King, so he had to flee to King Gu!"

Zhu Zhanhe reported immediately.

Both Zhu Zhanhe and Zhu Di were somewhat skeptical about Zhu Yuexiu's reason for going to the King of Gu. Therefore, when the King of Shu entered the capital, before their father and son met, Zhu Zhanhe stopped the King of Shu. As a result, what the father and son said was completely different This also proves that Zhu Yuexiu did not lie before.

"It seems that we really misunderstood the King of Chongyang County. Neither he nor the King of Shu lied, and it is true that he has nothing to do with Emperor Jianwen!"

Zhu Gaochi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words.

Unlike Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanhe, he was more inclined to believe in Zhu Yuexiu, and the results now confirmed his guess.

"I didn't expect Old Eleven's house to be a mess!"

Zhu Di also sighed at this time, and glanced at Zhu Gaochi as he spoke, which made Zhu Gaochi bow his head in shame.

The sons of the king of Shu had conflicts because of the battle for the throne, and Zhu Gaochi's three brothers were more troubled than them. Now Zhu Gaoxu has gone overseas, and Zhu Gaosui was imprisoned for poisoning Zhu Gaochi.

In contrast, the conflicts between Zhu Yuexiu's brothers were nothing but petty fights.

"Grandfather, since the king of Chongyang County has nothing to do with Emperor Jianwen, and his appearance is just a coincidence, let him go back!"

At this time, Zhu Zhanhe also dispelled his doubts about Zhu Yuexiu, and immediately asked Zhu Di.

"Don't worry, Emperor Taizu's sacrifice day is coming soon, let him accompany the King of Shu to participate in the sacrifice, and after the sacrifice, it will not be too late for their father and son to go back together."

Zhu Di waved his hand.

Letting Zhu Yuexiu participate in the sacrifice is actually a kind of compensation for him. After all, not everyone is qualified to participate even if he is a vassal king. Zhu Yuexiu being able to accompany the king of Shu to sacrifice is equivalent to Zhu Di's affirmation of him. The seat of Wang Shizi will also fall on his head.

"Grandpa Huang is wise!"

Zhu Zhanhe also said happily when he heard the words.

After getting along for this period of time, he also felt that Zhu Yuexiu was a good person and a friend worth making. If he could become the prince of Shu, at least he would be better than his second brother who was unscrupulous.

Dispelling his doubts about Zhu Yuexiu, Zhu Zhanhe also felt as if a big stone had fallen from his heart. It seemed that in his subconscious mind, he did not want Zhu Yuexiu to have anything to do with Emperor Jianwen.

The tenth day of May is the memorial day for Zhu Yuanzhang. Every year on this day, as long as Zhu Di is in the capital, he will go to Xiaoling in person to offer sacrifices. This year, he invited the king of Zhou and the king of Shu to Beijing together. Now that the king of Shu has arrived, the road to the king of Zhou is far away, so it will be later It will take a few days to arrive.

This morning, as usual, Zhu Zhanhe came to Dongchang to listen to Cao Lei and others report some important information, and deal with the affairs of Dongchang by the way.

But today, there was a long-awaited news from Zhu Zhanhe, Li Li and other officials who came to the capital from Jiaozhi for a pilgrimage, finally arrived in the capital.

Zhu Zhanhe was also very excited when he heard the news. These guys planned to go to Beijing to sue Zhu Gaoxu for impeachment. Unfortunately, they didn't know that as long as they come to the capital, they don't want to go back!
