In Kunning Palace, Queen Ma always felt uneasy, but she couldn't explain why.
Perhaps it was because the New Year was approaching and Zhu Yuanzhang had not come back yet.
She always felt like something big was going to happen recently.
The night was getting darker, and the lights in the East Palace were always on.
Lu's death really made him a little sad.
He thought about everything he had with Lu, and he felt very regretful.
How stupid Lu was, she didn't even think about who caused her to be like this.
He actually colluded with Laosi's people. If he gets rid of himself, Zhu Ing-wen can become the emperor?
Don't forget, there is Zhu Yingxi below, and his father attaches great importance to the order of eldest son.
One is a concubine and the other is a legitimate son.
In other words, she not only had to get rid of herself, but also Zhu Yingxiong and Zhu Yingxi to pave the way for his son.
He was in great pain inside, but he kept holding on and wouldn't let himself fall.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not around, and Zhu Jun was not around either. He was suffering physically and mentally.
It feels like boiling in hot oil.
He felt it was too hard to hold on.
But right now, he had to hold on.
The great cause is now at a critical moment, and the national strength is growing day by day. If everyone is united, if something happens to oneself, it will inevitably curb the rising momentum of the great cause.
However, he must solve the internal hidden dangers.
The night was getting deeper, Zhu Yu was lying on the chair with his eyes closed, but he did not fall asleep.
"Your Highness, we have solved them all. This time, we captured a total of more than 170 people and killed more than 200 people on the spot."
A man in black walked carefully to Zhu Yu's side and said softly.
Zhu Yu opened his red eyes and asked, "What time is it?"
"It's almost time." The man in black said.
"All these people will be sent to prison, interrogated, and all the people behind them will be questioned. It is better to kill them by mistake than to let them go." Zhu Yu said.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"Also, the floor in the palace needs to be washed. It's been too dry these days. If the blood seeps into the soil, the smell of blood won't be able to dissipate for several days.
It's Chinese New Year, and my father will be back soon. If my father knows about this, he will definitely be unhappy. " Zhu Yu reminded.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the minister has been dealt with." The man in black was none other than Xu Jinda's eldest son, Xu Xianzhong.
Xu Xianzhong was loyal to Zhu Yu and dealt with these matters for Zhu Yu wholeheartedly.
Looking at Xu Xianzhong, Zhu Yu stopped him, "Lao Liu said that the previous ancestral tomb case of the Xu family was related to Lao Si, but he mentioned one less person. Do you know who it is?"
Xu Xianzhong was stunned for a moment, with a trace of struggle and panic on his face. Finally, he knelt on the ground and said, "Wei Chen confesses to His Highness on behalf of the fourth son!"
Zhu Yu nodded with satisfaction, "Lao Liu didn't say it, but I guessed it. When Lao Liu got up from the ancestral grave of your Xu family, he only remembered that he went to the Xu family's casino.
As for the Xu family, only Xu Tianshou had the best relationship with him. If Xu Tianshou hadn't beaten Lao Liu to death first, Lao Liu would never have gone there.
At worst, this is hurting the prince, but at worst, this is a serious crime of rebellion. "
Zhu Yuba raised his voice, "Lao Liu seemed to be his brother, but he was like this. Later, when Lao Liu found out about the case, he did not confess Xu Tianshou, which shows how much he was suffering in his heart.
One is to worry about your father, but the other is to worry about Miaojin, do you understand? "
Xu Xianzhong said with a bitter face: "The sinner understands that this bastard did such a sinful thing... It is because of the sinner's lack of advice!"
"It has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with Duke Xin. I know that both of you, father and son, are devoted to the country, the court, and the king. They are extremely loyal.
Xu Tianshou is not equal to you, and you don't need to take all his sins on yourself. "
Xu Xianzhong's mouth was full of bitterness, "The guilty minister made a mistake of not reporting what he knew, so please punish him severely!"
"If I wanted to punish you severely, I would have punished you long ago, so why do I need to say this today." Zhu Yu said, "Get up, I have something to tell you!"
Xu Xianzhong hesitated for a while and then stood up. He thought to himself that His Highness might want him to deal with Xu Tianshou.
That daring evildoer should be dealt with as well, just not to affect the whole family.
"Don't worry, I won't let you deal with Xu Tianshou or Lao Si. I'm not afraid to tell you that my father may have guessed something about this matter, but he just has no evidence." Zhu Yu said: "I hope you can take good care of yourself. Serve for my sixth brother."
When Xu Xianzhong heard this, he hurriedly said: "Wei Chen will only be loyal to His Highness in this life. If His Highness is no longer here, Wei Chen will go with His Highness!"
Zhu Yu was not worried at all about Xu Xianzhong's loyalty.
"Listen to me, my body can't support it for much longer, I feel like it will be a year or two at most.
At that time, I hope you can support Lao Liu.
He is more suitable than me and is a wise man. You have been with me the longest, so you should understand what I mean. "
Xu Xianzhong was filled with sadness, "Your Highness, you will get better, you will."
"If you want to get better, you will get better a long time ago, and you won't live like a waste." Zhu Yu said: "You and your father are the pillars of the country. I hope you can support Lao Liu.
I will convince my father at that time, and I hope you will support Lao Liu together, so that you will be considered loyal to me. "
"Your Highness, I am a minister, I am a minister..." Xu Xianzhong was already crying.
When he thought that Zhu Yu had become like this and had an inseparable relationship with his younger brother, he felt extremely self-blame and hatred in his heart.
"If something happens to Your Highness, I will definitely kill those who hurt Your Highness, and then go to accompany Your Highness!"
"I will do this on my own, but you must keep yourself useful.
Duke Xinguo is old, but you are still in your prime, and Duke Xinguo's government still wants you to continue it.
In the future, the world will be unified and I will still need you to take care of me.
You must remember what I said today.
If you don't listen to me, I won't be able to rest in peace after I die. Do you understand? " Zhu Yu said.
Xu Xianzhong burst into tears. How could he not understand Zhu Yu's suffering conscience.
He did not tell the emperor, but told himself that he wanted to protect the Duke Xinguo's mansion.
If the emperor learns of this, not to mention Xu Tianshou, the entire Xinguo Palace will suffer.
His Royal Highness is so gentle and kind-hearted.
Such a sage and wise monarch became like this because of those two evil obstacles. It is really a great misfortune for the great cause.
He wanted to catch those two ungrateful white-eyed wolves and make them kneel in front of Zhu Yu to confess their mistakes.
But now Zhu Yu was staring at him, his eyes pleading, and Xu Xianzhong had no choice but to comply.
He knelt on the ground again, "I respectfully obey your orders. I will be loyal to His Highness King Weihai in the future, just like meeting His Highness!"
