"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Zhu Youyi liked this big cake very much. When he saw Zhu Xuan draw it like this, he wanted to eat it in one bite. He also said: "I will definitely help His Highness and keep an eye on my father. If there is any news that is beneficial to His Highness, first When time comes, if you are not in the capital, I will hand it over to Jin Yiwei."
He was able to betray Zhu Ru because he saw no benefit to himself in Zhu Ru. According to the current situation, even if Zhu Ru became emperor, he would not be the heir.
There is a possibility that he will be killed by his eldest brother Zhu Youdou in the future.
Even if they are brothers, brothers can turn against each other when it comes to issues such as interests and power. This is normal in the royal family.
In history, Zhu Youyi reported Zhu Ji's rebellion in order to seize power.
Zhu Youyi wanted to be the second and fifth son, an Infernal Affairsman, and there was no psychological pressure at all.
When he saw the pie painted by Zhu Xuan, he felt happy and felt that Zhu Xuan was loyal enough to help his brothers.
"Cousin Youju, you're welcome."
With a sincere look on his face, Zhu Xuan added, "I'll leave this matter entirely to my cousin."
Zhu Youyi patted his heart and promised: "Your Highness, please rest assured that I will do my best and will not let Your Highness down."
Then, he left.
You don’t even need to eat when you go back, because if you eat too much flatbread, you will feel full easily.
After letting Hou Xian send Zhu Youyi away, Zhu Xuan pondered for a moment. There was nothing to gain from Zhu Youyi. It just depends on when he can dig out the alliance's roster and defeat them one by one.
Without this list, nothing can be done.
"Pass the strict crown."
Zhu Xuan said.
Then I thought that Zhu Shu, whom Zhao Yunsheng mentioned last time, might be on the list, and wanted to see the results of Jin Yiwei's recent investigation.
"Greetings to Your Highness!"
Yan Guan came quickly and bowed.
Zhu Xuan asked: "Do you have any information about Uncle Qi?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Guan understood what Zhu Xuan wanted. He shook his head and said, "Since the last time His Highness King Qi mentioned the monk, our people couldn't find anything after hearing it. His Highness King Qi didn't I drank, and no longer talked casually. Recently, I stayed at the palace peacefully and did not go out, nor did I deliberately go to meet anyone with special status."
If Zhu Shu is the person on the list, then he is very tolerant and knows how to hide.
According to Yan Guan's description, nothing can be found. As long as they don't take the initiative to expose it, some things are still difficult to find out. Jin Yiwei is not omnipotent.
"Last evening, Sixth Uncle went to see Fifth Uncle. Is this the case?"
Zhu Xuan asked again.
Yan Guan said: "Yes, Zhao Qianhu just sent the information, and I was about to bring it to His Highness when Your Highness summoned him in."
He also raised a piece of information with both hands and waited for Hou Xian to take it before sending it to Zhu Xuan.
Zhu Xuan opened the information and read it for a while. The two imperial uncles did meet yesterday. The situation was almost exactly the same as what Zhu Youyao described, and there was no obvious difference.
Jin Yiwei's ability to monitor internal affairs is still very strong. Many things cannot escape Jin Yiwei's eyes, and Zhu Xuan is very satisfied with this.
After reading the information, Zhu Xuan waved his hand and said, "You go down first!"
Yan Guan bowed and bowed before retreating.
Hou Xian finally brought the tea leaves back and made tea for Zhu Xuan. Not long after drinking tea, he came in again and announced that Zhu Zhen was here.
Zhu Zhen feels uneasy now.
After Zhu Mengjiong returned, he told him to enter the East Palace immediately, where Zhu Xuan was waiting.
Zhu Zhen was already numb to the fact that this rebellious son often came to the palace to look for Zhu Xuan. He did not scold him when he came back today. However, when he learned that Zhu Xuan wanted to see him, he began to doubt and be jealous.
How is it possible that he was allowed to enter the palace for no reason?
Still when Zhu Mengjiong came out of the palace, he was immediately summoned, and it sounded like there was a problem.
"Did that traitor tell Zhu Yunxuan some of my secrets?"
As soon as this idea appeared in Zhu Zhen's mind, he was shocked and felt that it might be the case.
However, Zhu Youhuo's treacherous son may not know his secret.
If it's not feasible not to enter the palace, this is what Zhu Mengjiong came back to convey. If you don't go, the Jin Yiwei may come later.
At this moment, Zhu Zhen thought about running away, leaving the capital and returning to Wuchang to concentrate his troops to resist, but he hesitated in the end and gave up this idea.
What if he went back to raise an army instead of being unfriendly to him? Wouldn't it be a confirmation of the rebellion?
You must know that Lao Zhu is still alive. If he dares to rebel, the whole family will be wiped out.
Zhu Zhen didn't dare to take risks, so he gritted his teeth and entered the palace.
But before going out, he also told his princess that if she didn't come back at night, she would go and see Lao Zhu to see if Lao Zhu still valued family ties.
They are not only afraid of Lao Zhu, but also have to regard Lao Zhu as a life-saving straw.
After everything was arranged, Zhu Zhen entered the palace. He was uneasy, very afraid of death, and was frightened all the way, and finally came outside the East Palace.
"His Royal Highness King Chu, please come inside!"
Hou Xian saw him, went in to complete the communication, and came out to lead the way.
Zhu Zhen took a deep breath and thought to himself, I don't believe that the illegitimate child dared to kill him, so he held his head high and walked inside pretending to be calm.
There is a lot going on in his mind.
"Greetings to Your Highness!"
As a vassal king, Zhu Zhen still had to worship the crown prince.
Although he was very unconvinced and felt that Zhu Xuan was not worthy of being worshiped by him.
But you have to worship, this is the rule.
If Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he dared not to worship, the consequences would be very serious, and a beating would be a relatively light punishment.
Zhu Xuan said: "Uncle Six, please sit down!"
Zhu Zhen sat down and asked, "Your Highness asked me to enter the palace. Do you have anything to tell me?"
After saying that, he felt a little nervous again. He temporarily let go of his previous calmness and looked at Zhu Xuan nervously.
He was afraid that at the next moment, more than a dozen guards in uniform would rush out from both sides and tie him up and take him away.
Zhu Xuan sighed and said: "Sixth Uncle, can you be nicer to cousin Meng Jiong? Or give him more restraints so that he can't go out casually?"
Zhu Zhen thought he heard something wrong and asked instinctively: "What?"
The reason why he was brought into the palace was because of Zhu Mengjiong's affairs. Didn't he want to catch him?
Zhu Xuan really wanted to catch him, but now was not the time, so he said: "Uncle Six, let's put it this way, cousin Meng Jiong must lack care and attention in your family. This is not good. In addition, If he doesn't get attention or is scolded by you, the emperor, his first thought is to go to the palace to complain to me. Once or twice is okay, but he comes four or five times in a row, and I feel very annoyed!"
"Even government affairs can't be dealt with."
He spread his hands helplessly.
Zhu Zhen: "..."
Is it really just this?
Zhu Zhen was a little unable to react. It turned out that he was thinking too much and was guilty of being afraid of death. Not to mention that Zhu Xuan was annoyed, even when he scolded Zhu Mengjiong, he was a little annoyed.
So, I don’t want to curse anyone today.
