King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 180 hits the nail on the head, suspicion of the White Lotus Sect

The roar of a sudden explosion filled the hall.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled noncommittally, without any change or timidity in his expression.

For a moment, the two looked at each other, and neither of them spoke.

"Hey"

After a long time, Zhu Di let out a long sigh and took the lead in retracting his gaze. He pointed at Zhu Gaoxu who was standing in the audience, shook his head and said:

"Second dick!"

"You bastard, you are good at everything, but your mouth is really enough. You are completely unreasonable and unforgiving."

"Nothing to see at all."

Faced with such words, Zhu Gaoxu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said:

"It's true that no boss is obedient."

"Everyone, sit down!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the chair prepared next to him and said in a deep voice:

"sit down!"

Zhu Di was slightly stunned when he said this. He was silent for a moment and then came to his senses. A trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he was unable to refute what Zhu Gaoxu said.

"You are the only one who is great. If you don't have any desires, you will be strong."

Zhu Di was speechless and helpless many times.

The tried-and-tested methods of making excuses and instigating others before, but now he doesn't even take a bite of them.

"Yesterday, the second son went to deal with the Japanese envoys. According to the timeline, I was in the imperial study room reporting to you about the weapons workshop."

"Stop talking nonsense here."

Zhu Gaoxu didn't show any pretense at all. He casually picked a chair and sat down. He picked up the hot tea that had been prepared on the wooden table and gently collected the tea leaves floating on the water with the lid of the cup. And bubbles, enjoy the light peck and drink lightly.

Ta-ta-ta.

Not long after, there was a rush of footsteps outside the imperial study room, and the sound of greetings from the servants.

At the same time, I have to sigh in my heart, the second child has really become a living spiky head and a hedgehog now!

"The incident involving the Japanese envoy, the old man's stall being temporarily changed yesterday, and a series of chain events that followed. Which of you was the one meddling in the situation and adding insult to injury?"

"I'm just a shield pushed up by you two. Why do I care so much?"

"I'd rather you get tired of it and drive me away from this devouring whirlpool."

After that, Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui explained alone, saying:

"Recruit me from the truth!"

A moment later, the Crown Prince and Prince Zhao walked in from the door together. Seeing Zhu Di leaning on the soft couch, they quickly bowed and saluted.

"I want to hear the truth, understand?"

"You can scold as much as you want, and arrange it as you want."

These four words are clearly reflected in Zhu Gaoxu's body and behavior today.

It's not easy to take advantage of him.

Listening to the two people's greetings, Zhu Di slowly closed the memorial in his hand, threw it aside casually, then pointed to the two people, the chairs prepared for them, and said:

"How about you try to drive me away."

"But who calls him the prince?"

Get approval.

"We'll get down to business when they all arrive."

"Dad has a great conscience!"

This statement came out.

Zhu Di, who was leaning on the soft couch, also sat up straight. He narrowed his eyes and stared back and forth at the three people's faces for a long time. His voice slowly became deeper and more solemn, and he said:

"Boss, Third"

After a while, they all shook their heads in unison and denied:

"Daddy."

"okay!"

"But I am different. If I don't have desires, I will be strong!"

"Wait a moment, if nothing else happens, the boss and the third child will be here soon."

It's just like a latrine where the rocks are smelly and hard. They look confident and have no control over them.

"But who knows, old man, you just won't do it!"

Without desire, one is strong.

"I care about the so-called position of the prince. I dare not speak out if I dare to be angry!"

Wait until everyone is seated.

The atmosphere in the field suddenly became weird. The two people who were asked what to say were both looking at me and looking at you.

"Regardless of whether I have that intention or not, even if I know it temporarily, it will be too late, right?"

"We have never had any involvement in this matter, let alone planning or adding insult to injury."

The prince sitting aside saw the third child who was anxious to explain. After he finished speaking, he hurriedly spoke out and said honestly:

"father"

"Although I was at the scene yesterday, I only arrived during tea time after the second brother arrived."

"The news is that the people below heard that something big happened with the Japanese envoy at the post station, and the second child was involved, so I hurried over in a hurry to see if there was anything I could do to help. At the same time, I planned to prevent anything unpredictable from happening. I want to tell my second brother the truth about the matter."

"As a result, when I arrived, the second brother had already appeased the public's anger."

"After that, I didn't come forward and let the second child deal with it on his own."

"As for the origin of the matter, I really had no involvement in the direction of the matter."

"I can guarantee this with the head on my head. Everything I say is true, and I don't hide anything."

"If you don't believe me, dad, I can ask the person responsible for reporting the information to come and hand it over to Jin Yiwei for review."

Zhu Di, who was sitting on the high platform, could not help but frown deeply as he listened to the two people's sincere and conclusive answers.

In his heart, he was somewhat convinced by the two people's answers.

Because these things were almost exactly the same as the information reported to him, without any deviation.

After a brief moment of silence, the three of them seemed to have thought of something. They suddenly turned their heads and looked at Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting beside him. He looked like he was nothing to do with anything. He was leisurely and contentedly sipping hot tea from time to time and watching a good show. Their eyes were It became deeper.

Feeling the eyes of everyone on him, Zhu Gaoxu was not a fool, and he could probably guess what the three people meant and what was going on in his little mind.

Immediately, he slowly put down the hot tea cup in his hand, squinted his eyes without any hint of timidity, looked back at the three people, and asked with a smile on his face:

"Old man, boss, third child"

"You three are not sick, are you?"

"Don't they all suspect that I am a thief and call to catch a thief? I was the one responsible for all the troubles, right?"

"I'm afraid I'm crazy."

"What am I trying to do? For what?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui stared at him with a half-smile and said jokingly:

"Second child"

"I heard that because of what happened yesterday, your reputation as King of Han has been widely spread throughout Yingtianfu City by the people who aroused public anger."

"It's so popular that it almost overshadowed the reputation of the boss."

The words were enough, although the rest of the words were not said.

But we are all smart people, not fools. Who can fail to understand the meaning behind Zhu Gaosui's words?

Following Zhu Gaojiu's embellished explanation, the prince and Emperor Yongle suddenly looked at Zhu Gaojiu, and their eyes couldn't help but become more meaningful.

Zhu Gaoxu: "."

ha?

I have a mother-in-law! What's the word?

But let’s not talk about it, it seems that what King Zhao said is really right.

As for what happened yesterday, it seems that his reputation has really spread among the people of Yingtian Mansion.

It seems that when he went to court today, many military generals even congratulated and congratulated him.

At that time, he really didn't think deeply about it, and thought it was just a simple spread of praises.

That's all.

Ok!

As a result, after Lao San’s analysis, it really looked like that.

If he didn't know clearly in his heart that he didn't make such a plan and play tricks on this matter, he would really believe his lies and analysis.

"Lao San"

"Shut up, you!"

"What is this all about?"

"Stop leaving me here and pouring dirty water on me."

"Based on what you said, I can still doubt what you did!"

"I know that the old man asked me to deal with the Japanese pirates, and then deliberately caused damage and shot myself in the foot. I solved it perfectly, and now you are jealous and angry and throwing dirty water on me."

"In other words, just to let me resolve it perfectly and make the old man and the boss suspicious of me, you will come out to add fuel to the fire, sit back and watch the tigers fight, and want to reap the benefits."

"Isn't this reasonable?"

"You really talk nonsense outside."

After speaking, Zhu Gaoxu turned to look at the two people who were staring directly at him, smiled noncommittally, shrugged and said:

"Anyway, if you say it wasn't me, it wasn't me."

"Whether you believe it or not, if you don't do it, you don't do it. If you do it, you do it."

"You also know my character"

"If you really want to think that way, I can't help it."

Listening to Zhu Gaoxu's explanation, the two people's deep gazes seemed to turn Zhu Gaoxu's heart over and over, from top to bottom, inside and out.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became weird and quiet.

The expressions on everyone's faces were different, and they all had their brows furrowed and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Zhu Di, who was sitting on the high platform, withdrew his direct gaze, his expression became extremely solemn, and he said in a deep voice:

"Second Brother, are you really not involved in this matter?"

"Do you know the consequences of lying to me?"

Dele.

Do you still have some doubts about him emotionally?

However, such doubts are understandable.

After all, when Zhu Di ordered him to deal with the Japanese envoys and meet with them.

At that time, in order to be on the safe side and to know ourselves and our enemies so that we could win a hundred battles, he sent someone to conduct a simple investigation and understanding of the Japanese envoys.

He also showed such a report to Song Li, Xia Yuanji, Yang Shiqi and others.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Gaoxu's expression condensed slightly, his eyes became extremely firm, he looked directly at him, nodded his head very solemnly, and responded:

"Indeed, I have never done this."

"I can guarantee this with my head, just like the boss."

"Maybe I have really done this myself. I would rather go to Fengyang's ancestral mausoleum, the ancestral land, and never step outside the Fengyang boundary."

So committed.

Such words cannot be said to be unimportant.

After hearing this, Zhu Di was slightly moved. He frowned and thought for a moment. His eyes towards Zhu Gaoxu also became softer, without the sharpness and strength before. Then he looked around at the three sons sitting in front of him. .

"Since no one has done it."

"Whose handiwork did the old man change his stall?"

"What exactly is its purpose?"

"Have you ever thought about this, or have any suspicions?"

"You must know that it is not something ordinary people can do to be able to use such means and be so well-informed."

"And the dignified Yingtian Mansion, the central city of the Ming Dynasty, has such a power hidden in the dark. Thinking about it makes people shudder, and makes people have to doubt its intentions, identity, and plans."

Say it.

He looked at Prince Zhu Gaochi and asked softly:

"Boss, you are the most well-informed person in the government and the public, and your trust is profound."

"Is there anyone who is suspicious of this, or who can be so unaware of it."

The prince whose name was called came out of his daze with a startled expression. He frowned subconsciously. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't help but shook his head and replied:

"father…"

"In this matter, I really don't know who to doubt or who has such ability."

"After all, this matter requires extremely precise control of time and planning in advance."

"No one up or down the court has the courage, let alone the ability."

"but……"

Having said this, he paused, his pupils shrank involuntarily, and his voice became extremely low, saying:

"As for Ying Tianfu, the center of the Ming Dynasty, only the two from Jiming Temple have this ability."

"But... Jiming Temple is not in the city, and it takes time to deliver the news!"

"It is unrealistic to calculate and compare the time before and after."

"so……"

The rest of the words were not said until everyone understood what they meant.

This answer coincides with Zhu Di's previous thoughts.

But just like what the prince said, he had also thought carefully before and excluded his sect, not thinking that it was the work of the two men from Jiming Temple.

"Fine!"

"I know…"

While Zhu Di was asking questions one by one, Zhu Gaoxu glanced at everyone, and from the looks on everyone's face, he was almost sure that none of the people present were causing trouble.

Before Zhu Di finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing aside, had a flash of inspiration in his mind. He seemed to have thought of something. His half-closed eyes suddenly opened, his expression became extremely solemn, and then he raised his head and said in a deep voice. :

"and many more…"

"Dad, eldest brother, third child... I seem to have found a suspect."

Hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but be slightly startled and looked at him in disbelief.

Feeling the eyes focused on him, Zhu Gaoxu concentrated his attention, his voice became extremely deep, and he quietly said:

"Is it possible that we have overlooked one thing? This kind of power does not necessarily come from the court, but from the people?"

"I wonder if you know that man with great supernatural powers, Emperor Taizu has communicated and cooperated with him when he was in trouble."

"It was also later that Emperor Taizu came to power and specifically ordered the eradication of the "White Lotus Sect", which has always been known as a cult."
