Qianqing Palace, side hall.
Xu Huizu was brought over by Qi Tai.
When Wei Guogong asked to meet the saint, not even Qitai could stop him.
Because he is the Duke of Wei in the Ming Dynasty and a descendant of Xu Da, King of Zhongshan. His status and power far exceed all the nobles, and he is the first among the nobles of the Ming Dynasty!
Xu Huizu walked into the side hall worriedly. As soon as he saw Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen, he immediately fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty clearly shows you!"
"My younger brother went to really settle the matter, but I really didn't know anything about it!"
"My Xu family is deeply favored by His Majesty, and we are loyal to His Majesty and the court. We will never do anything rebellious!"
After saying these words, Xu Huizu touched his head to the ground with an extremely low posture.
But based on his words alone, Zhu Yunwen naturally didn't believe it, or he couldn't believe it!
Because the traitor Zhu Di and the Xu family are related by marriage, Xu Huizu is Zhu Di's brother-in-law, and Xu Zengshou is Zhu Di's brother-in-law.
Now that Xu Zengshou suddenly fled to Zhending without saying a word, how can you expect me to trust your old Xu family?
Zhu Yunwen was silent for a long time, and finally just asked a question in a cold voice.
"Why did Xu Zengshou go to Zhending?"
It's true, this is a sensitive place.
Because everything north of Zhending City is now Yan Land!
When Xu Huizu heard this, he was suddenly shocked.
"Your Majesty, I really don't know anything about it!"
"I have been studying in Wenyuan Pavilion and rarely come back home..."
"That's enough!" Zhu Yunwen shouted angrily, "I don't want to hear your explanation anymore!"
"I don't care whether you really don't know or you are just pretending to be here. Before Xu Zengshou is arrested and brought back to the capital, no one in the Duke of Wei's mansion is allowed to leave the Duke's mansion, including you, Xu Huizu!"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Huizu felt like he was struck by lightning.
What does it mean?
Have everyone in the Duke of Wei been imprisoned?
Xu Huizu looked at Zhu Yunwen in disbelief, his face full of confusion and disappointment.
He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he said nothing, just sighed.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Huizu was escorted back to the Duke of Wei's Mansion by the Forbidden Army soldiers. However, these Forbidden Army soldiers did not leave, but stationed on the spot, surrounding the Duke of Wei's Mansion. No one was allowed to enter or leave without permission. As for the safety of everyone in the Duke of Wei, Food and clothing are provided regularly by dedicated personnel.
In other words, the Duke of Wei, who was at the height of his power in the past, is now completely reduced to a prisoner!
This sudden and shocking incident instantly spread throughout the entire Jinling Imperial Capital.
After all the civil and military officials heard the news, they were so frightened that their livers and gallbladders almost burst. They were extremely panicked!
After all, he was the Duke of Wei, a descendant of King Xu Da of Zhongshan!
After such a top-notch meritorious service, His Majesty the Emperor banned him as soon as he said he was going to be banned, without caring about old feelings. It’s hard not to feel chilling!
After Wang Dun, Zhang Hong and other veterans of the auxiliary government learned the news, they immediately mobilized all their forces and petitioned Zhu Yunwen to withdraw his orders.
After all, the three words "Wei Guogong" contain so much gold that even veterans like them have to take it seriously.
If this news reaches the frontline battlefields, Wang Shi's soldiers may even mutiny, not to mention continuing to fight the rebellion for the imperial court!
More than half of the fathers and ancestors of the generals in the Ming army came from Xu Da's sect. Almost most of them had followed General Xu Da in his campaigns in the north and south, and went out to sweep across the barbarians of the Northern Yuan Dynasty!
Now that you have suddenly touched the Duke of Wei indiscriminately, how can you let the soldiers of the three armies see it?
Isn’t this destroying the Great Wall?
For a time, the entire Jinling Imperial City was in turmoil and undercurrents were surging.
As the master of the suffering, Wei Guogong Xu Huizu was completely decadent.
At this moment, he was holding a wine bottle and hiding in the study, drinking freely. He had been drinking for several days.
Xu Huizu couldn't understand why Zhu Yunwen was still so afraid of him even though he had kept such a low profile!
At that time, Xu Huizu was highly valued and trusted by Emperor Taizu Gao, so he became a companion in the East Palace. He often accompanied the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen. The two studied the classics together, talked about the general trend of the world, and set up the great ambition to create a prosperous Ming Dynasty.
Everyone can see that he, Xu Huizu, is the humerus minister left to the emperor's grandson by Emperor Taizu Gao. As long as the emperor's grandson ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, Xu Huizu can officially enter the central court to take charge of the power and assist the new emperor in his efforts to govern. , create a prosperous Ming Dynasty!
But what about the result?
Zhu Yunwen indeed ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
But Xu Huizu was abandoned!
Just because Zhu Di rebelled, and just because Zhu Di and Xu Huizu were related by marriage, Xu Huizu was tabooed by the emperor and has not been reused to this day!
Zhu Yunwen seemed to be right. He was very kind and favored him. He also worshiped him as the crown prince and tutor, and his status was extremely respected. However, he changed hands and asked Xu Huizu to compile the "Records of Emperor Taizu Gao", completely depriving him of all the power in his hands!
Oh, repairing books?
This is what those bitter and rotten scholars do!
I, Xu Hui, was the son of a powerful general, and after Xu Da, the King of Zhongshan, you actually asked me to study books?
To be honest, when Xu Huizu received this job, he was really dissatisfied with Zhu Yunwen. However, he also understood that his identity was sensitive and that he was implicated in his in-law relationship with Zhu Di. Therefore, Xu Huizu had no choice but to obey orders honestly. act.
Even in order to avoid arousing more suspicion and fear from the emperor, Xu Huizu became more low-key and cautious in doing things. He stayed in Wenyuan Pavilion all day long to write books and did not even interfere with the government affairs. He hoped that the emperor would understand his loyalty and fulfill his original oath. Let him go where he really deserves to go.
Xu Huizu can wait, and he is full of confidence in Zhu Yunwen.
But he never expected that all his loyal efforts would end up being a huge joke!
Just because Xu Zengshou went to Zhending, Zhu Yunwen didn't miss his old feelings at all and directly imprisoned his entire Duke of Wei!
Haha, you are so wise!
"You don't know your subject!"
"I don't know you!"
"Hahaha……"
Xu Huizu laughed maniacally and smashed the wine pot into pieces!
"Bring me the wine!"
"Bring me some wine quickly!"
This scene was quickly reported to Zhu Yunwen.
After Zhu Yunwen learned the news, his face was terrifyingly gloomy!
"You don't know me?"
"I don't know you?"
"If you, Xu Huizu, really have no different intentions, why don't you argue?"
"Now you are blaming me? This is really unreasonable!"
Zhu Yunwen gritted his teeth and cursed for a while, then looked at Qitai.
"How long does it take for Xu Zengshou to arrive in Beijing?"
Qi Tai's face was very ugly when he heard this. After hesitating for a moment, he still told the truth.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Huang has sent news that Xu Zengshou...is dead."
"What did you say?" Zhu Yunwen was shocked when he heard this, "How did he die?"
Qitai sighed and said, "Master Huang said that when he led his troops to arrest Xu Zengshou, he knew that the matter was exposed, so he set himself on fire. After Master Huang and the others put out the fire, Xu Zengshou had been burned beyond recognition and was furious on the spot. Absolutely dead!"
"A bunch of trash!" Zhu Yunwen was furious and overturned everything on the desk to the ground.
Xu Zengshou died, which was indeed bad news for him.
Because of his death, Zhu Yunwen will be in trouble now.
No one can guarantee whether there is any problem in the Duke of Wei's mansion.
Originally they thought they could torture Xu Zengshou to confirm this, but now that the key witnesses are dead, how can they torture him?
Fang Xiaoru sighed and said bravely: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei..."
"Imprison him first!" Zhu Yunwen said bitterly, "After Yan Ni is defeated, I will settle matters with him!"
