Zhu Gaoxu did not say it explicitly, but the meaning in his words was undoubtedly directed at Zhu Gaochi and the princelings.
When Zhu Di proposed the northern expedition, they were the ones who opposed it the most.
Zhu Gaochi even quarreled with Zhu Di time and time again because of this.
Zhu Gaoxu's words immediately set the two parties against each other, and the atmosphere in the court instantly became tense.
A minister from the Han King's faction chimed in," What His Highness the Han King said makes sense. In terms of suspicion, the people who oppose the Northern Expedition are undoubtedly the most suspicious.”
"This subject deeply agrees. If we fail to increase the business tax, the ones who will benefit the most will be those who oppose the northern expedition.”
"Nonsense!"
With such an obvious target, the officials who opposed the Northern Expedition naturally would not sit still and wait for death, especially the Crown Prince's party.
"The Fifth Imperial Sun is in charge of the business tax. Back then, His Highness the Crown Prince also opposed the Northern Expedition.”
"You're slandering me! The Han King never said that!”
"Humph! Although he didn't say it explicitly, wasn't the meaning behind it obvious?”
"However, you have indeed benefited the most from this matter. This old man is right, right?”
"We oppose the northern expedition because it is a waste of manpower and money! Once a war breaks out, the people will suffer. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty is in a year of disaster. We are doing this for the people. How can we instigate the people to cause trouble and kill people?!”
"Who knows? If it wasn't for you guys, who else would be adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes?”
"This will depend on who was the most vehement in opposing the increase of the business tax in the beginning. Rather than saying that we were against the Northern Expedition, so we couldn't see the increase of the business tax so successfully, it would be better to say that those who opposed the increase of the business tax couldn't see it succeed.”
"That's right! It would be obvious who was the most vehement at that time.”
"Who would have thought that raising the business tax would have such an effect when it was first proposed? Moreover, increasing the business tax did raise the status of merchants. Was there anything wrong with that? My Ming Dynasty has always suppressed commerce. To suddenly change the rules of Taizu and raise the status of merchants is a matter of national importance. Isn't it normal to have objections?”
"Could it be that the matter of the northern expedition is not related to the country of my Great Ming? There are many implications, and the disadvantages outweigh the benefits. What's the problem with us opposing it!”
"His Highness the Crown Prince has never said who might have done it. You guys are so eager to accuse him.”
"Nonsense!"
……
The officials in the court were all people who were familiar with the books of the sages and governed the Ming Dynasty. Now, it was like a woman quarreling in a folk market!
The originally solemn court became more and more chaotic, like a bustling city.
Zhu Di's brows furrowed more and more tightly, and his eyes turned cold. He slapped the armrest of the dragon throne fiercely." Quiet!”
In an instant.
As the Emperor's cold and angry voice rang out, all the courtiers did not dare to make a sound.
"What a racket!"
Zhu Di's voice was extremely cold.
The ministers immediately lifted their clothes and knelt down." Your Majesty, please forgive me!”
Zhu Di coldly swept his gaze across the courtiers and finally looked at Zhu Zhanxin.
"Zhanchen, what did you mean by what you said just now?”
Zhu Zhan looked at Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, then said to Zhu Di,""Royal grandfather, please lend me some people. Give me three days. I will definitely investigate this matter!”
" Three days? Can you guarantee that?" Zhu Di stared at Zhu Zhanxin.
Zhu Zhan Xin was not afraid at all and said firmly,""Sure!"
"Good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Di handed a waist token to Shou Quan.
Shou Quan, who was serving beside Zhu Di, immediately understood. He took the waist token and walked down the stairs with his eyes lowered, handing it to Zhu Zhanxin.
Zhu Zhanxin took the token and saw the golden token: "Ruzhen in person."
"This waist token can mobilize the Embroidered Uniform Guards. If I come personally, you can mobilize the Embroidered Uniform Guards to investigate this matter.”Zhu Di explained.
As soon as he said that.
The courtiers were shocked and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
This Fifth Imperial Sun probably had to be reconsidered. His Majesty had actually given him the Brocade Guard to investigate this matter.
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui's expressions changed and became serious.
After the court session ended, Zhu Zhanyu used the waist token given by Zhu Di to go to the Jinyiwei to ask for someone.
"Fifth Imperial Sun? I don't know why the Fifth Emperor's grandson came to the Royal Guards.”Qin Xia, the Deputy Thousand Households of the Brocade Guard, stopped Zhu Zhanyu.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards monitored the capital. Even though Zhu Zhanyu was not famous before, they still recognized the Fifth Imperial Sun. Moreover, Zhu Gaosui had asked them to investigate not long ago.
And because the Embroidered Uniform Guards were controlled by Zhu Gaosui, and Zhu Gaosui was in opposition to the Crown Prince's faction, Qin Xia's tone when facing Zhu Zhanshi did not have the slightest bit of respect for the imperial grandson.
Zhu Zhanmo took out the waist token of Regal Arrival.
Qin Xia's expression changed, and he hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
Zhu Zhanshi's expression was calm and he was not moved by Qin Xia's actions at all." His Majesty asked me to directly transfer the Brocade Guard to investigate the matter of the Department of Public Affairs. Deputy Thousand Households Qin, transfer the people."”
"Yes." Qin Xia's expression changed several times, but he still agreed in the end.
Zhu Zhanxin was waiting in the hall of the Jinyiwei.
About the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Qin Xia brought the people over.
Zhu Zhanmo sized up the dozen or so Embroidered Uniform Guards that had been transferred over, and his eyes darkened slightly.
Some of these Embroidered Uniform Guards were indignant, some were contemptuous, and some were impetuous.
There was a clear difference between them and the Brocade Guard Zhu Zhanxin saw when he walked in.
It was very obvious that Qin Xia deliberately found a group of weaker Embroidered Uniform Guards for him.
Zhu Zhanxin glanced at Qin Xia.
At that moment, Qin Xia felt a chill run down his spine after he merged with the Killing God Bai Qi template.
Qin Xia's heart jumped. This Fifth Imperial Sun was definitely not a mortal!
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble everyone.”
After saying that.
Zhu Zhanxin lifted his feet and walked out.
He did not mind Qin Xia's tricks, or rather, he had long expected it.
However, this was not necessarily a bad thing.
The dozen or so Brocade Guards looked at each other. Whether they were willing or not, they had to follow.
After Zhu Zhanxin and the others left, a man walked out from inside.
"Lord Qianhu, everything is done." Qin Xia said in a low voice.
That night.
Within the Han King's Residence.
"Zhu Zhan Xin went to mobilize the Embroidered Uniform Guards?"
Zhu Gaosui smiled maliciously and said,""They went right after the court session, but they were the worst batch of Jinyiwei.”
"However, investigating this matter isn't that complicated.”
"I'll help Gai Gai. Don't do this for the next two days.”
However, Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said,"If we don't continue now, won't we be admitting to the old master that one of us must be controlling it?”
Zhu Gaosui clicked his tongue." But even though they are the worst batch of Jinyiwei, they are still powerful. If we continue to do this, we will inevitably give ourselves away."”
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes flashed with a hint of sternness." Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with the two of us."”
Hearing this, Zhu Gaosui's eyes narrowed.
He had long suspected that Zhu Gaoxu might have secretly trained people he did not know about.
Now Zhu Gaoxu's words seemed to make it clear!
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaosui's expression became even more complicated. He nodded slightly and did not say anything else.
