Emperor Zhu was furious. The little good impression he had of Zhu Rong disappeared again.
He pointed at Zhu Di and said,
"You unfilial son, tell me clearly. Who said I dug it up?”
"If you don't give me a satisfactory answer today, don't blame Zhen for being impolite!”
"I won't kill you, but if you play tricks on me, you'll stay in the high wall in the future and don't come out for the rest of your life!”
Behind Zhu Yuanzhang were Empress Ma, Noble Consort Sun, Xu Da, his daughter, and a group of officials.
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's roar, most people stopped and did not dare to go forward to watch the show.
Although Noble Consort Sun felt sorry for Zhu Rong, she knew what was right and wrong.
Although she and Empress Ma's faces were pale, they did not try to persuade the Emperor.
Everyone present thought that Zhu Xiong was courting death and was lawless.
Only Xu Miaoyun, who was hiding behind the crowd, was inexplicably confident in Zhu Rong.
Although they had only known each other for a few hours, she and Zhu Rong hit it off.
There was no reason for her to believe that her hand-picked husband was not stupid and would definitely not push her into the fire pit.
"This son-in-law of mine still dares to provoke His Majesty at a time like this!”
His daughter was not anxious, but his father-in-law, Xu Da, was very anxious.
Xu Miaoyun pulled her father and whispered,"
"Wu Wang has been a devil for more than ten years. Have you ever seen him suffer?”
"Father, don't be anxious. I believe he can handle it!”
As expected, Zhu Yuanzhang's roar from the depths of the imperial prison didn't make Zhu Rong afraid at all.
Zhu Rong replied,"
"You were the one who built the palace, so naturally, you were the one who dug those tunnels!”
"Imperial Father, you are a man of noble memory. Have you forgotten how many secret passages you left behind when you built the Imperial Palace?”
"I'm not the only one who has these secret passages. I reckon that big brother and the others have them too!”
"You…"
"Shut up!
Emperor Zhu was reminded by Zhu Rong and instantly remembered,
Seeing that Zhu Rong still wanted to speak, he immediately told him to shut up.
Zhu Xiong reminded. Old Zhu had already understood the origin of these tunnels. Zhu Xiong was right.
These tunnels were dug by him!
In his life, Emperor Zhu was most wary of his subjects.
He had made all the preparations that an emperor should make.
For the sake of his descendants, when he was building the Ming Palace, he had indeed secretly asked the craftsmen to leave many secret passages.
The most famous one was naturally the one where Zhu Yunwen escaped when Zhu Di entered the capital in the future.
However, apart from these, Emperor Zhu also left many ways for his descendants to escape.
However, because there were too many secret passages, unless he checked the construction map that only he knew where it was, he might not even remember many of them.
But now that the Ming Dynasty was flourishing, as the founding emperor, who would have the time to check the distribution of the tunnels in the palace?
Old Zhu finally understood why Zhu Xiong was so fearless. He didn't dig the tunnel, so he naturally had nothing to do with the rebellion.
"Come here!"
Across the cell, Emperor Zhu pulled Zhu Rong over and whispered into his ear,"
"Did you peek at my scroll?”
If Zhu Rong had peeked, Zhu Yuanzhang would have felt a thorn in his heart.
"Haha, Father, no!"
"Is there really a need to look?"
"You were probably too poor when you founded the country, so the craftsmen you hired were not good either!”
"Your son will know where the entrance to the tunnel is when I glance at it!”
"For example, I found the portrait in your royal study very suspicious!”
"Also, as for the Heaven Tribute Hall…"
"Lower your voice!"
Old Zhu was almost angered to death by this unfilial son. Why did he work so hard to dig those tunnels? Wasn't it to prevent an accident one day and leave a way out for his descendants?
The craftsman who designed these tunnels back then had accidentally " slipped " and sunk into the water.
He thought he had done it flawlessly.
However, he still could not escape the eyes of this unfilial son. No, he could not get himself involved.
He loved and hated Zhu Rong at the same time. This guy's behavior showed that he was definitely a pillar of his son.
However, with his personality, he would not do anything serious.
He was quite proficient in stealing.
"These secret passages are the Tian family's secrets!”
"Give their existence to your old man and swallow it into his stomach!”
"If any of these secrets are exposed, I will kill you!”
"I don't dare, I don't dare, I definitely don't dare!”
Zhu Rong said he didn't dare, but there was no fear on his face.
Of course, he wouldn't tell anyone.
The Zhu Clan's Demon King of Confusion, whose first goal was to survive, did not want to cause trouble for himself.
"Wait, what did you say was lacking in my tunnel?”
"That tunnel entrance was not opened professionally. Actually, as long as you walk in, you can feel the sound of an empty drum!”
"And the one in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute. He used a bookshelf as a secret door.”
"Also, where are you…"
When Zhu Rong was in the past, the system had given him a reward, which was the ability to seek the dragon's acupuncture point and explore the acupuncture point. As for the secret passage, he could see the flaw with a glance.
The more Emperor Zhu listened, the more he felt his hair stand on end.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was his biological son, Old Zhu would have sent him to see Han Lin 'er in the next second.
He suddenly understood why Zhu Xiong could come and go freely in the palace.
He had even dug out the most important secret of this palace. In his eyes, wasn't the palace just a leaking sieve?
Old Zhu looked at Zhu Rong with a complicated expression.
"Fifth brother, there are many secret passages here that even your big brother doesn't know about!”
"If you rebel in the future, I'll be worried for your brother!”
Emperor Zhu was hinting at something, but Zhu Xiong understood it in his heart, but he was not afraid.
The good thing about Zhu Yuanzhang was that he could kill all the ministers for some unwarranted threats.
However, he was really good to the Zhu family.
If it weren't for the little eunuch's surprise, he wouldn't have told them about the tunnel.
However, he already knew. If he didn't say it, it would only make him seem guilty.
With his father's intelligence, he would definitely be able to understand this attitude. He was upright and had no intention of rebelling.
Therefore, Zhu Rong couldn't sense any killing intent from Old Zhu.
"Imperial Father, if I had the intention to rebel, would I have said it out loud?“
"At least you're sensible!"
It was rare for Old Zhu to praise his unfilial son. He asked again,
"Since you have such ability, then I'll leave the transformation of our tunnel to you!”
"D * mn, you're really not polite!”
Zhu Rong was completely speechless. He instinctively wanted to throw a tantrum and roll around to reject Old Zhu.
However, when he thought of someone, he inexplicably said,
"Father, I have a condition as well!”
"That little eunuch called Xu Tong isn't dead yet, right?”
"Xu Tong?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. Xu Tong, Xu Da, Tong Da…
He immediately understood.
Zhu Rong was talking about Xu Miaoyun.
He held back his laughter and put on a sinister smile.
"He shouldn't be dead yet…"
"F * ck, luckily I said it in time!”
Zhu Xiong thought of that little eunuch and secretly rejoiced.
