He guessed that one of the purposes of the princess's hurried return to her natal Xu Mansion was to persuade Xu Huizu, a stubborn person.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that as long as Xu Huizu can show his face at the enthronement ceremony, it is best to kneel down and surrender to Zhu Di.
Then the whole enthronement scene is very different.
The situation in the world will also become better.
"What about him?"
Regarding Zhu Di's inquiry, Xu Miaoyun understood it in another meaning.
She was still hurt, and her heart trembled.
"Of course it's the result of your persuasion. What happened?"
He didn't expect that his random question would cause such a big reaction from the princess, and he was surprised.
"He said that a true man will always be loyal to the king and serve the country. He will swear to be loyal to the Zhu family's orthodoxy to the death. He said that these were my father's last words and he could not violate them."
In fact, deep down in Xu Miaoyun's heart, she agrees with these brother's views.
On the eve of the crisis, she urged Zhu Di not to rebel.
But later, Zhu Yunwen's trend of reducing the vassal status made it impossible for her family's safety to be guaranteed.
He had no choice but to fight to the death.
"What? The eldest sister is a mother, and he didn't even listen to your personal advice..."
"Humph, is he going to cause trouble? This bastard, when I come to the throne and issue the first imperial edict, he will be executed."
After hearing this, Zhu Di became furious and his face suddenly became very ugly.
After entering Nanjing, he was most afraid of being accused of being unorthodox.
This is the reverse scale and cannot be touched.
"No, Your Highness cannot kill him. He has a death-free ticket personally signed by Emperor Taizu Gao."
Zhu Di, who was determined to retaliate, became even more furious when he saw that Xu Miaoyun was still protecting him. He gritted his teeth and said:
"What about the iron ticket to avoid death? Disobedience, rebellion and disrespect are not exempt from death." "Xu Yungong dares to despise this king, the future new king of the Ming Dynasty. This is a serious crime that will destroy the three clans."
Hearing the words "It's a grave crime to kill three tribes" made Xu Miaoyun angry.
Her pretty face turned livid, she stood up and said coldly:
"His Highness is so cruel. He doesn't care about our old friendship at all. If he wants to kill the three Xu clans, then you should kill me first."
Seeing this, Zhu Di knew that he had said the wrong thing and quickly explained:
"Oh, Princess, what I say is all angry and crazy, how can I take it seriously? Don't worry, I won't kill you."
He had no choice but to give in.
"I heard that after you ascended the throne, the first commendation order to be issued, the first person who contributed to Fengtian's peace, was actually this capricious idiot Li Jinglong?"
Xu Miaoyun began to fight back.
"What's wrong with Li Jinglong?"
"It was he who took the lead in opening the Jinchuan Gate to welcome the king into the city, led the defenders to surrender, and avoided a tragic siege battle, thus protecting the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers."
"Shouldn't this be remembered as a top achievement?"
"Although Li Jinglong says he is a fool when it comes to fighting, it is still better than someone pursuing and fighting his own brother-in-law."
Zhu Di retorted with sarcasm and insinuations.
"I really didn't expect that His Highness King Yan, who always boasts of being brave and loyal, would actually set up a capricious villain who betrayed the monarch as a role model for the new dynasty?!"
Xu Miaoyun showed no signs of weakness.
"you…"
Zhu Di was speechless.
"I heard that you came out of the Xu Mansion and immediately went to the Prison of the Criminal Department. Why is this?"
He immediately changed the subject and used offense as defense.
"Did you know that arresting Xu Yungong and imprisoning him was the first order issued by this king after entering the city. It was intended to warn those remnants of Jianwen."
Xu Miaoyun became even more angry after hearing this.
Her face was frosty and she asked loudly:
"Hmph! That's a good beating! But it broke Yungong's hamstrings and hand tendons. Can your Highness explain clearly?"
"What?"
Zhu Di was also shocked when he heard this.
He sat up straight and said solemnly:
"This kind of thing still happens. Have you found out who did it?"
From the looks of it, it really doesn't look like he's acting.
"During the interrogation, Ji Gang came over to convey your instructions, saying that I should return to the palace immediately to discuss important matters."
Xu Miaoyun glanced at Zhu Di and said angrily:
"I hurried to Wuying Palace and saw you surrounded by a large group of ministers. I stopped waiting and returned to Xinyue Palace first."
Zhu Di was stunned for a long time, recalling Ji Gang's rush in the morning, and suddenly thought of something.
"You wouldn't think it was me, the king, who secretly instigated Ji Gang to do it, right?"
Xu Miaoyun didn't even raise her head when she heard this, and sighed:
"I have never doubted that His Highness would instigate people to do such despicable things."
"Forget it, I broke into the prison and got angry. Please don't mention it again. What will happen if you find out?"
Suddenly, she seemed to have found the answer.
Zhu Di, who also guessed who was behind the scenes, quickly picked up the topic and continued:
"Okay, Princess, let's end the Yungong matter here. Let him think about his mistakes in front of the wall in Xu's ancestral hall, and no one of us is allowed to mention it, okay?"
"Next, let's have a meal first, and then I will discuss with you the selection of the heir apparent. How about that?"
"Yeah." Xu Miaoyun nodded in agreement.
She wished for this and put Xu Yungong in Xu's ancestral hall. This was the best protection for him.
After a while, the palace maids and eunuchs served dinner, and the couple began to eat and chat again.
The two people were arguing with red faces just now, but now it has disappeared as if it never happened.
Xu Miaoyun has long been confident about the candidate for the crown prince.
The magic weapon to persuade Zhu Di, her nephew Xu Qin has already given her a trick.
She told it like it was.
…
Let’s talk about Xu Qin.
After saying goodbye to his aunt Xu Miaoyun at the gate of the Tianlu of the Ministry of Punishment, he took Xu Fu, Xu Sheng and other family generals and rode back to Wei Guogong's mansion.
He kept thinking that Ji Gang was like a ghost, appearing in the prison at the critical moment without any bias.
The movements are also quick enough.
Jinyiwei is indeed worthy of his reputation.
You should be more careful in the future.
"Uncle Fu, my aunt has a very bad temper. This time it can be regarded as a fight for our Xu family. Not bad!"
Xu Qin couldn't help but praise Xu Miaoyun.
Xu Fu nodded and smiled when he heard this:
"My aunt's temper has not changed at all in more than twenty years. She speaks and acts vigorously and no one can stop her when she gets angry."
"Really, was it like this before?" Xu Qin asked curiously.
"I think a few days before she was going to get married, the master was very naughty in his early tenth year and accidentally broke the palace crown she was going to wear on the wedding day. The eldest aunt was so angry that she chased the master all over the house with a sword in hand. , making a big fuss in the mansion.”
"Later, Empress Xiaocigao heard about it and sent someone to send a new one, and the matter was settled."
Xu Qin was stunned when he heard this.
It turns out that Xu Miaoyun has done such violent things before.
It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.
Xu Miaoyun looked very ladylike. Fortunately, Zhu Di was also a ruthless person and could keep her calm.
If she marries someone else, the man may not be able to handle her temper.
"Young Master, my aunt is returning to Nanjing this time, and the second prince is vying for the position of the East Palace. Isn't it possible that he will succeed?"
Xu Fu couldn't help but ask.
