Zhu Gaochi was surprised.
He turned around and saw that Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were about to leave. He quickly called out to them," Second Brother, Third Brother, wait a moment. Father has summoned us."”
Previously, they had asked to see Zhu Di twice in a row, but they could not. Now that Zhu Di summoned them, the two of them were stunned.
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui looked at each other nervously.
However, no matter what they were thinking, they had to go now that Zhu Di had summoned them.
When the few of them gathered and rushed to the Monk Record Temple.
Only then did Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui realize that Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanyan were going too!
When Zhu Zhanxin saw Zhu Gaoxu, his expression was the same as usual, with a faint smile on his face.
Originally, Zhu Gaoxu had wanted to see something from Zhu Zhanxin's expression, but he had no choice but to give up.
The group of people hurried and soon arrived at the Monk Record Temple.
"His Majesty has summoned the Crown Prince, the Great Imperial Grandsons, and the Fifth Imperial Grandsons.”
Zhu Gaoxu frowned and asked,""Then what about this king and third brother?"
The person who came out to call for him was a young monk. When he heard Zhu Gaoxu's words, he put his palms together and said," Amitabha. I'm not sure. His Majesty only said that he summoned the Crown Prince, the Great Imperial Sun, and the Fifth Imperial Sun.”
Zhu Gaoxu felt suffocated, but there was nothing he could do. The Temple of Monk Records had an extraordinary status, and Zhu Di was still inside. If he were to lose his temper here, he would really be as stupid as a pig.
Zhu Gaochi also couldn't figure it out. He clearly asked them to come over, but why didn't he want to see Second and Third after arriving at the Monk Record Temple?
Zhu Zhanyu secretly glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and vaguely understood what was going on.
As expected.
They followed the young monk to a room in the backyard of the Monk Record Temple. As soon as they entered, they saw Zhu Di's angry face.
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji were dumbfounded.
What happened?
"Imperial Father, is there something wrong? Why are you so angry?”
Zhu Zhan Xin stood at the side, waiting to hear what Zhu Di had to say. Suddenly, he felt a gaze.
He followed his gaze and saw that it was Zhu Zhanji.
Immediately after, Zhu Zhanxin heard Zhu Di's voice that was suppressing his anger.
"Zhan Jue, tell them what happened!”
Instantly, everyone in the room looked at Zhu Zhanxin.
Zhu Zhan then told him everything that happened last night.
"Yesterday, the Embroidered Uniform Guards secretly investigated the whereabouts of a group of people and captured them back to the Northern Garrison.”
"Then these people are unwilling to explain, but according to the investigation of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, they are definitely not ordinary people.”
"Thus, I asked the Embroidered Uniform Guards to interrogate him.”
Speaking up to this point, Zhu Gaochi's face clearly showed some disapproval of Zhu Zhanxin's approach.
Zhu Zhanxin saw it and paused for a moment before continuing,""During the interrogation, Second Uncle suddenly came over.”
"Then, he asked me to let these people go."
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji both knew that Zhu Zhanji was investigating the matter of the commoners causing trouble because of the business tax.
Then, Zhu Di also said coldly,"After Zhan Shi left last night, Second Brother came to see me."”
Hearing this.
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji were shocked.
What did Zhu Gaoxu's sudden intervention mean?
This matter was most likely related to Zhu Gaoxu!
Hearing Zhu Di's words, Zhu Zhanyu was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhu Gaoxu to go to Zhu Di last night.
Originally, his sudden intervention during the interrogation had already made him unable to clear his suspicion. It was even obvious that he was related to this matter.
Later on, he actually went to see Zhu Di at this time, which made him even more suspicious. It could even be said that it was a done deal.
It seemed that Zhu Gaoxu was really anxious, Zhu Zhanxin sighed in his heart.
Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Di and then at Zhu Zhanshi. He stuttered and could not say a word.
On one side was father and son, and on the other side was brother.
What could he say?
It could be said that no matter what, neither side was human. Just like when Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Di argued about the northern expedition, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanyu were sandwiched in the middle.
"Imperial Grandfather, I feel that even if this matter is really related to Second Uncle, we should still investigate it."”
"Moreover, we must investigate in detail.”
"What if this matter has nothing to do with Second Uncle? If we investigate clearly, we can also prove Second Uncle's innocence.”
At this point, Zhu Zhanji himself felt a little lacking in confidence and continued,""If it's related…"
"After all, the business tax is related to the foundation of the country and cannot be ignored.”
" Other things can be forgiven, but if Zhu Gaoxu still can't think straight on this issue, then..."
Before Zhu Zhanji could finish, Zhu Gaochi shouted," Zhanji, don't talk nonsense! That's your second uncle."
Zhu Zhanji didn't say anything. Instead, he glanced at Zhu Zhanyi.
Facing Zhu Zhanji's gaze, Zhu Zhanyi's expression did not change. Instead, when he heard Zhu Gaochi's words, he had a bad feeling.
As expected.
Zhu Gaochi's voice sounded again.
"Imperial Father, this matter shouldn't be investigated any further!”
"If we continue to investigate this matter, no matter if it's true or not, there's no benefit!”
"Now that we can confirm that someone is pushing the people to cause trouble, it's enough!”
"Imperial Father, please stop investigating this matter!”
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi almost immediately and flew into a rage." Stop investigating?”
He paused for a moment. Zhu Di's voice rose a few notches." This matter concerns the Ming Dynasty. Why shouldn't we investigate?!"”
"Imperial Father, what should we do if we find out that it's really Second Brother?”Zhu Gaochi was frightened by Zhu Di's angry voice, but he still insisted,""At that time, how will second brother deal with himself? How will Imperial Father deal with Second Brother?"
"What do the people of the world think?"
"Father! My Zhu family has already lost enough face!”
Hearing the two of them quarreling again, Zhu Zhan Xin could not help but have a headache. Why did these two people quarrel every time they met in private?
Zhu Zhanji's expression was also somewhat helpless.
Zhu Gaochi was a little arrogant, but he still wanted to argue with him here.
Zhu Di was also enraged and pulled out his sword from the side.
"Clang!"
The sound of a sharp sword being unsheathed stunned the three of them. Zhu Gaochi was even more afraid.
Zhu Zhanxin's expression was a little tense. He was prepared to rush up and stop Zhu Di at any time.
At the same time, Zhu Zhan Xin recalled the incident of Zhu Di killing three thousand palace maids in the palace, and his heart trembled.
Zhu Di didn't look at them and walked out with his sword.
The three of them hurriedly followed, afraid that something would happen.
After Zhu Zhanxin walked out, he realized that Zhu Di was not slashing people with his sword. Instead, he was chopping trees.
The Emperor's sword was naturally extremely sharp. The tree outside the door was of an unknown species, and there were sharp thorns on its branches.
Zhu Zhanxin and the other two stood nervously behind Zhu Di, afraid that he would really kill them in a fit of rage.
Zhu Di directly swung his sword and chopped off a branch.
The tree branch was about as thick as an adult man's wrist, and it was covered with sharp thorns.
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi angrily." Didn't you want to plead for Second Brother? Take it!"
