King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 198 Analysis temporarily eliminates suspicion

The atmosphere in the Imperial Study Room was strange.

The two people answered like this, which made everyone confused.

However, compared to Zhu Di's confusion, Xia Yuanji, Song Li, and Chen Ying had a hint of excitement in their eyes.

Although it seemed that the two of them had nothing nice to say for them, no words like opening up for them.

But considering the personalities of the King of Han and the King of Zhao, as well as the camps they stand on, it’s pretty good that they didn’t take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, get into trouble, or add insult to injury.

You know, just now, Emperor Yongle Zhu Di asked this question to the two kings of Han and Zhao.

But it really frightened them all so much that they broke into cold sweat, and their hearts became cold unconsciously.

Everyone is praying for these two people in their hearts, but they must not give them eye drops at this time, and don't stumble them at this time.

Otherwise, given the seriousness of the situation at hand, and Zhu Di's suspicious temperament as a superior, the three of them would have to shed a layer of skin for this matter even if they were not to die, and their life would never be easy anyway.

Afterwards, the three of them looked at Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, with a hint of gratitude flashing in their eyes.

Immediately, he slowly raised his head and looked around at the people in front of him with half-closed eyes. The expression on his face did not change at all and was extremely calm.

As the contents came into view, the expressions on everyone's faces became extremely exciting.

In this matter, in a certain sense, it can be regarded as accepting the love of these two masters.

After a brief daze, Zhu Di slowly walked down from the high platform with his hands behind his back, reached out to take the memorial, waved his hand at it, and said:

That's what I said.

If something like this happened to anyone, let alone them, it would be impossible not to be curious, right?

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhu Di, quietly waiting for this master's decision.

"I satisfy your curiosity."

crunch

The closed door was pushed open, and a young eunuch entered with his body lowered. Feeling the oppressive atmosphere in the hall, his body froze. A trace of panic flashed in his lowered eyes, and he hurriedly knelt down and worshiped. On the ground, a slightly trembling voice said:

"My servant pays homage to Your Majesty."

"stand up!"

"promise!"

Hearing this, Xia Yuanji and others no longer cared about etiquette or gestures. They quickly opened the memorial that was thrown over and read it carefully word for word, not daring to miss any detail.

With such an answer, Zhu Di couldn't help but stare at his second and third sons. He tugged at his scanty beard with a headache, and reached out to rub his slightly swollen temples.

Zhu Di waved his hand at him and said in a deep voice:

"Come in!"

"Your Majesty, please take a look!"

For a moment, everyone had different expressions on their faces, especially Song Li, Xia Yuanji, and Chen Ying. At this moment, their hearts were simply burning with anxiety and suffering, not to mention how sour and refreshing they were.

Seeing this, Zhu Di had a slight sneer at the corner of his slightly raised mouth and said:

I'm a little confused. Don't these two people usually have trouble with the civil service group?

Don’t you always want to find faults in others, stumbling upon each other, and making things worse for each other?

What?

Now, he had put the power to deal with each other into the hands of two people. As a result, the reaction and style of dealing with these two bastards really surprised him, leaving him speechless and helpless, which made him completely helpless. think.

On this matter, I directly started Tai Chi with him.

"Your Majesty, at the entrance of the palace, the guards in Jinyi came to hand over a memorial about what happened in Juxian Building today."

As he spoke, he bowed, stretched out his hands to hold the memorial, raised it high above his head, and knocked his head firmly on the ground, like an ostrich.

When their eyes met and looked at each other, everyone who originally looked at Zhu Di involuntarily withdrew their gazes, like children who had done something wrong, and hurriedly buried their heads deeply, as if there were people under their feet. It seemed like some rare treasure was attracting them.

"Don't back down!"

There is anger, doubt, fear, and uneasiness, and all kinds of emotions fill everyone's hearts.

"hehe."

"What's the matter?"

After the eunuch retreated and the door that had been pushed open was slowly closed again, Zhu Di slowly opened the memorial with half-squinted eyes and carefully studied the contents.

After hearing this, everyone looked solemn, and their eyes couldn't help but look at the memorial that the eunuch held high above his head.

"Please give me a good look at yours and tell me how to deal with the people recorded on it."

Just kidding?

Can you not be curious?

This is related to the wealth and lives of his family, his children, and even the nine clans.

Zhu Di sneered, frowned and was silent for a moment. He stretched out his hand and threw the memorials about the family members of Xia Yuanji, Chen Ying, and Song Li to their corresponding people one by one.

call.

I don't know how long it took, but after Zhu Di read the contents of the walking memorial one by one, he couldn't help but let out a long breath and felt the eyes on him.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di's face couldn't help but become extremely ugly, his anger was revealed in his words, and he was about to burst into anger.

dong dong dong.

Just at this moment, a dull knock on the door sounded. Standing on the high platform, Zhu Di was about to get angry. A trace of displeasure flashed across his face. The emotion that was about to break out in a deep voice was suppressed. shouted:

"You guys, it seems that you are all very curious about the content of the memorial submitted by Jin Yiwei?"

After they were familiar with the words in the memorial, several people knelt down and kowtowed:

"Your Majesty."

The eunuch suddenly felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He bowed his body and lowered his head, and left in a hurry with small steps. He only regretted that his parents had given him two fewer legs.

He hesitated and trembled, but before he could say the next words, he was directly interrupted by Zhu Di. He took the words, his voice became deeper, and he said in a deep voice:

"Don't explain"

However, although everyone thought so in their hearts, they did not dare to answer like this. They all lowered their heads honestly and did not dare to say a random word.

"I'll wait. I'll wait."

"I don't want to hear so much nonsense and words."

"You can just tell me directly how to deal with the people in the private room where these Jin Yiwei appear or stand directly in front of the window. They have even been staring at the private room where the second brother and the White Lotus Sect are meeting."

"I don't want to hear other nonsense, and I'm not in the mood to hear it."

After hearing this, everyone looked solemn and looked at each other. They also knew that this matter was very important, so naturally it was impossible and they did not dare to vouch for these people.

As the saying goes: Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

"Return to Your Majesty."

"We suggest that those who have doubts should be tortured!"

"Regardless of whether there is injustice or not, this is the only chance for people like them to prove their identity and innocence."

It’s not that they are hard-hearted.

The problem is that people are selfish.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

They protect themselves wisely, weigh the pros and cons, and punish others for themselves. These individuals are all human beings, and they make the best choice for themselves at the first opportunity.

Regarding this answer, Zhu Di narrowed his eyes, showed a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, and asked:

"Are you sure?"

"I sincerely request your Majesty's permission."

After receiving a positive answer, Zhu Di took a deep look at them, a trace of satisfaction flashed deep in his eyes, and at the same time, his doubts about these individuals were reduced a lot.

After that, he turned to look at Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui, the leader of the Jinyiwei who was standing in the audience, looking like a transparent person from beginning to end, and said in a deep voice:

"Lao San"

"Did you hear what the ministers just said?"

"Let's do this quickly."

"Tomorrow at the latest, I want to see the memorial about this incident placed on my desk." Zhu Gaosui, who was in a daze and watching the show, came back to his senses instantly, and without any hesitation, he hurriedly responded:

"Yes!!!"

Immediately, he strode out the door without stopping at all.

Seeing the figure disappearing at the door, Zhu Di came back to his senses, waved his hands towards the nervous Xia Yuanji, Song Li, and Chen Ying, and said:

"If you have nothing else to do, just step back!"

"Prince Han, please stay here for a while."

When everyone left, Zhu Di half-squinted his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, he retracted his distant thoughts, and then looked at Zhu Gaoxu, who was close at hand. His voice became deeper and he asked:

"Second child"

"This matter was all participated and led by you."

"I think you also saw the expressions, demeanor, and various reactions of the three people involved in the palace just now."

"Now there are only two of us, father and son, left in the palace. Let's say a few words behind closed doors."

"Do you think any of the three of them are really colluding with the White Lotus Sect, or are they a member of the White Lotus Sect?"

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but be startled. He frowned and pondered for a long time. From time to time, he recalled in his mind the reactions of several people when the old man spoke just now. He thought for a moment, briefly sorted out his thoughts, and shook his head without trace. , Youyou said:

"father"

"Actually, when you asked this question, didn't you already have the answer in your mind?"

Zhu Di pulled his beard and looked at him deeply, with a hint of sullenness flashing across his face, and scolded:

"Second dick!"

"You're playing Tai Chi with your dad here, right?"

"In this matter, are you asking me, or am I asking you?"

"We, father and son, will tell you honestly what we think and what we think."

"If you play tricks on me again, believe it or not, I'll take care of you?"

Zhu Gaoxu: "!!!!!!"

Your uncle!

numb!

Completely numb!

This old bastard is really screwed up.

If you have to let him say it, it's really enough.

But having said this, Zhu Gaoxu knew in his heart that he might not be able to avoid this matter, so he simply responded directly:

"father"

"This is just my son's humble opinion on this matter."

"I think there shouldn't be any problems with these three people. After all, their current positions are already considered worthy of being respected."

"The White Lotus Sect can't bring them much benefit. They have no shortage of power and have almost reached their peak."

"At most, it's just a bribe of money."

"But in their position, if they really want money and beauties, it's not their turn for people like the White Lotus Sect to give them money and beauties. Just a random word, a look, or a wave of their hands can lead to people rushing to give them money. Big pile.”

"There is absolutely no need to risk money and beauty from the White Lotus Sect."

"As for corruption and money matters."

"The last time the government cracked down on corruption, all their properties were inspected and cleared one by one by the Jin Yiwei."

“Almost all can match the numbers”

"Exclude these two points"

"I think we can directly rule them out as suspects."

"but."

Having said this, he paused, a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"Based on the White Lotus Sect's method of getting close to me this time, I'm afraid that the problem is not with the three of them, but most likely with someone in their house."

"Dad, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Zhu Di frowned and pondered for a moment, couldn't help but nodded, smiled with satisfaction, reached out and patted Zhu Gaoxu's shoulder heavily, and said in a deep voice:

"Not bad."

"Second brother! Second child!"

"You are really getting smarter and smarter, and you are seeing things more and more clearly."

"That's the answer. Dad is very satisfied."

"However, Jin Yiwei still needs to screen these people again."

"But you don't need to get involved in this matter anymore. I'll ask Ji Gang to arrange for someone to handle it, investigate it, and make a quick confirmation."

In response, Zhu Gaoxu smiled noncommittally and replied:

"Dad has taught me well during this period of time."

“I learned a lot”

Listening to the compliments, Zhu Di showed a gentle smile on his face and said:

"okay!"

"Stop flattering me. With your bastard personality, if you don't bother me a little bit, it's more practical and more effective than any compliment."

"You did a good job with the White Lotus Sect this time."

"What reward do you want?"

Yo ho?

And asked him what reward he wanted?

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him disdainfully, with a playful smile on his lips and said:

"father…"

"If you don't want me to go and get rid of Pan, expel me from the Ming Dynasty, or if that doesn't work, transfer the prison state to the boss, do you think so?"

Zhu Di: "......"

This statement immediately made him feel a little depressed, and he almost didn't mention it in one breath.

For a moment, he really wanted to tell his two big mouths that they had to ask even though he knew what kind of character this bastard was.

The second bastard really didn't need any praise. He just said something nice about him with the front foot, and then he hit him with the back foot like this.

If you don't leave the vassal state in a few words, if you leave the Ming Dynasty, you won't have the power to supervise the country.

It really disgusted him!

It made him very unhappy!

After a brief moment of silence, the smile on his face faded away, replaced by anger, and he shouted:

"Bastard thing."

"Get out of here quickly, I'm annoyed just by looking at you."

"If you don't agree, then you don't agree. Why do you keep getting angry?"

When Zhu Gaoxu saw the old man who was about to get angry, he muttered in a low voice, then rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and ran away quickly.
