Zhu Cixiang glanced at Zhou Kui who was lying on the ground and said: "A few days ago, the abbot of the state came to the East Palace to find his son, hoping that he would help him hoard some food."
"The son felt that this move was not good for defending the city, so he politely persuaded him. At that time, Wu Renyi was on the side to persuade the son to agree to the matter. Afterwards, he sent the abbot away and came back after a long time."
"At that time, I didn't pay much attention to it. Now that I think about it, the emperor's handwriting may have been obtained that day, so as long as Wu Renyi is captured, the matter will be clarified."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "Wu Renyi is your confidant. After the other party suggested that Shi Min was guilty, even if Wu Renyi admitted the matter, he could not convince the people."
"What's more, the matter has reached this point. The truth is no longer important. The most important thing now is how to handle this matter in order to stabilize the people's hearts and protect our capital."
Hearing this, Zhu Cixi said with some reluctance: "If the culprit cannot be brought to justice, wouldn't it only encourage their arrogance?"
"Furthermore, the woman came prepared. I'm afraid that the evidence Mr. Li is looking for here will not only fail to expose the woman's lies, but will further confirm the crimes of Mr. Ni and Mr. Li. So what should we do then? good?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Don't worry, Li Ruolian won't come back if he can't find any favorable evidence."
Zhu Cixiang said with some worry: "Then if Mr. Li doesn't come back, how should we deal with this matter?"
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slightly when he saw the look of panic on Zhu Cixiang's face again.
He knew that although Zhu Cixiang received a good education, he lacked experience. He could maintain his grace even when nothing happened, but he would reveal his true colors once trouble came.
This couldn't help but remind him of Zhu Yunwen. If Zhu Biao hadn't passed away suddenly and he didn't have enough time to train the child, how could Zhu Yunwen end up in an uncertain situation in the end.
Thinking of this, he looked at Zhu Cixi kindly and said earnestly: "The emperor's art is about majesty, which is to make Mount Tai collapse in front of him without changing his appearance."
"Look at how many pairs of eyes are staring at our father and son right now. None of those who can enter the cabinet or the six ministries are not human beings."
"As long as there is something a little strange about you, they will notice it and try to figure out your thoughts. They will either flatter you or pretend to be righteous. How will you be able to tell the difference between loyalty and treachery?"
Hearing this, Zhu Cixiang immediately calmed down and said respectfully: "What my father taught me, and my sons and ministers also always remind themselves, they must restrain themselves and cultivate themselves, so that no one can notice their thoughts. It's just that I had to deal with this matter today, and I was confused for a moment. Please forgive me, father."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "You don't have to blame yourself. It's not your fault, it's because you have too little experience. From now on, you have to practice more, so that you have your own mind when encountering problems, and naturally you won't panic."
Zhu Cixiang said doubtfully: "There are so many things in the world, how can I, my son, be aware of everything he encounters?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Although there are many things in the world, they remain unchanged. For example, today's things seem complicated, but in fact the other party's purpose is very clear, which is to make the people alienate us and not defend the city with us."
Zhu Cixiang nodded and said: "I have figured this out, but I don't know how to solve it. Do you still want my father to give me some advice?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly: "Everything has two paths. If you now feel that the other party's trap is well-organized and cannot be broken for a while, you might as well go the other way. Don't break her, but let her break your attack."
"For example, if you can't find any flaws in the other party at this moment, then create problems for him, such as giving the other party a chance to assassinate you. This alone can kill her, so why bother thinking about any flaws in her."
Zhu Cixiang nodded as if he understood, and then asked doubtfully: "What if the other party refuses to assassinate?"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Cixiang and said: "You have to remember that as the king of a country, you must have the domineering power of a king. If you say he assassinates, he will assassinate. Even if there is no assassination, it is still an assassination!"
Hearing this, Zhu Cixi suddenly fell silent.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he stopped saying anything and looked at everyone present.
At this moment, because of the long wait, the people's voices of discussion gradually became louder.
Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully and found that most of them accused court officials of collaborating and deceiving the people.
Fortunately, although there was resentment among the people, it did not get out of control.
Then he glanced at the woman again, and found that although the woman had a sad look on her face, she was not panicked, and he couldn't help but admire her a little.
Then his eyes swept over Ni Yuanlu who was trembling slightly, Fan Jingwen who looked worried, Wei Dezao who was slightly flustered, and Ma Shiqi who was hesitant to speak...
"Your Majesty, I have captured a traitor!"
Suddenly, a shout came from a distance.
After hearing the words, everyone looked towards the place where the voice came from, and saw Zhu Chunchen walking quickly with a group of wolf-like and tiger-like soldiers.
After they got closer, everyone saw that the soldiers were dragging a girl covered in blood, and they couldn't help but be a little confused.
When Zhu Chunchen saw everyone's gazes, a look of pride flashed on his face.
Then he said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, I accidentally captured this person during my inspection just now. After careful investigation, I found that this person is actually an accomplice of this woman, so I brought him to your Majesty for judgment!"
A trace of doubt flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and then he nodded again: "Okay, since you arrested this person, let you handle it!"
Zhu Chunchen was overjoyed when he heard this and responded loudly.
Then he adjusted his crimson crane court clothes, pulled the girl and pushed her hard against the woman, and shouted loudly: "Ah, you evil woman, do you know her?"
The woman had already made plans when the girl arrived. When she saw him pushing the girl over, she let out a cry of surprise and immediately dodged hastily. At the same time, she looked at Zhu Chunchen with a look of fear on her face.
The woman's behavior aroused the sympathy of the people present.
In addition, Zhu Chunchen's reputation in Beijing was not good, which immediately attracted a lot of discussion, and some even directly told Zhu Chunchen to stop acting.
Zhu Chunchen was used to being domineering, how could he stand this kind of anger?
But the speaker was hiding in the crowd, and he didn't see who it was.
So he shouted loudly, and when he was about to ask the soldiers to get the person, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's cold voice saying: "Do business!"
Although the sound was not loud, it sent chills all over Zhu Chunchen's body.
Especially when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's familiar yet unfamiliar cold face, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
He responded respectfully, restrained his voice and shouted to the woman: "Do you know this woman?"
The woman glanced at the girl and said expressionlessly: "I don't know you!"
Zhu Chunchen seemed to have known that she would answer like this. He sneered and said, "You said you didn't know her, but she said she was ordered to burn down the granary. This is a bit strange."
Everyone present was in an uproar when they heard this.
Especially when some people heard about this, they looked at the woman with resentment in their eyes.
