The next day, in the Eastern Palace.
Zhu Di was summoned by the Crown Prince early in the morning. He thought that something big had happened.
As soon as he stepped through the doors of the Eastern Palace, he heard the Crown Princess Consort, Lady Lu, roar,
"My father lost a tooth! The criminal actually dared to commit murder at Tian Zi's feet.”
"We must arrest him and punish him severely!”
She was furious.
The dignified Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, a relative of the royal family, was actually beaten up.
Zhu Yunwen's eyes were cold as she said,
"This is no ordinary criminal. He actually dared to kill the Imperial Army.”
"Such a person should be arrested and executed!”
Crown Prince Zhu Biao sat on a chair with a gloomy expression.
Zhu Di walked in and bowed to Zhu Biao.""My younger brother greets the Crown Prince."
Zhu Biao raised his hand." Fourth Brother, I called you here because something happened last night. On the way back, Minister Lu was beaten up by someone. That person even killed eight Imperial Army soldiers."”
Zhu Di was shocked.
Who was so bold?
Could it be that fellow? He was the only one in the entire capital who had the guts to do so.
"According to Tie Xuan, that person calls himself the Sovereign of the Eventide.”Zhu Biao frowned.
Zhu Di staggered.
Damn it, it really was him.
Why did he kill the Imperial Army? He was even beating up the Crown Prince's father-in-law. This matter had blown up.
"Your Highness, I will go and investigate.”Zhu Di bowed.
Zhu Yunwen frowned slightly." Fourth Uncle, this so-called King of the Eventide killed people in the middle of the night. Didn't the Jinyiwei notice?"”
Zhu Di's eyes fell on Zhu Yunwen and he sneered,
"Does the imperial grandson know what the Embroidered Uniform Guards are? The Brocade Guards were His Majesty's personal guards, and they were in charge of patrolling and arresting. What did anything that happened in the capital at night have to do with the Brocade Guards?”
"The Brocade Guard obeys His Majesty's orders. Do you want to be Lord Lu's bodyguard? Does he have the qualifications?"
Zhu Yunwen was speechless.
Zhu Biao also glared at Zhu Yunwen and said angrily,"You're rude to your fourth uncle. Go back and get three big slaps.”
Zhu Yunwen looked at Lady Lu in panic.
Lü wanted to say something but stopped.
Zhu Di turned around and left.
Zhu Yunwen's eyes darkened.
"Father, recently, Master has been saying that Fourth Uncle is a cruel official. He practices the path of Jie and Zhou. How can such an uncle help you govern the world?”
Pa!
Zhu Biao slapped him and shouted,"What do you know! Your fourth uncle was brought up by your father. What kind of person is he? Do you have the right to speak? You've been getting more and more impudent recently."
Lady Lu immediately knelt in front of the Crown Prince.”
Zhu Biao glared at him and left.
Madam Lu watched the Crown Prince leave and then stood up.
She waved her hand and dismissed the eunuchs and palace maids, leaving only one palace maid behind. She said in a low voice,"Send a message to BenGong to Qi Tai and the others. They must find out about that Sovereign of the Eventide. BenGong cannot swallow this.”
The palace maid accepted the order and left.
……
Zhu Di came out of the Eastern Palace and went straight to the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.
Zhu Yuanzhang was approving the memorial.
Zhu Di looked at the mountain-like memorial and then at his white-haired father.
He sighed in his heart. This emperor was really not made by a human.
"Your son greets Imperial Father." Zhu Di bowed.
"Fourth Brother, if you have something to say, say it quickly. There are too many memorials today. I don't know when I'll have to approve them.”Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.
Zhu Di pondered for a moment and said,"
"Uh, something happened. Last night, Minister of Official Personnel Affairs Lu Ben was beaten up and his teeth were knocked out.”
Zhu Yuanzhang stopped and looked up to ask,"
"Who did it? That sour old scholar, I wanted to beat him up several times. What has he taught my grandson? You're so weak."
Zhu Di was speechless.
Father, if you say that, I'm afraid big brother will be so angry that he will vomit blood.
"It was Zhu Ying! He even introduced himself as the Sovereign of the Eventide.”Zhu Di continued.
"It's that kid. Why is he fighting against Lu Ben?”Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but laugh." This kid was still merciful. He only knocked out his teeth. You haven't seen him fight. Damn it, just thinking about it makes my back go numb.”
Zhu Di's expression was strange as he said in a deep voice,"
"Zhu Ying killed eight Imperial Army soldiers this time. This matter is not easy to handle.”
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly raised his head and frowned.
"Although that kid is ruthless, he is not someone who kills innocents. Go and investigate.”
Zhu Di nodded and complained in his heart.
Investigate? How?
Should I ask him directly?
"Your Majesty, Duke Cao requests an audience." The eunuch came to report.
"Fourth Bro, go investigate and report back to us.”Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand." All of you, leave as well. Let Duke Cao in."”
Zhu Di walked out, feeling puzzled.
What did Imperial Father and Duke Cao want to discuss? Why did he send everyone away?
"Your Highness." Li Jinglong bowed to Zhu Di.
"Jiujiang, let's drink together tonight.”Zhu Di smiled.
"In a few days. I've been busy recently." Li Jinglong waved his hand and entered the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.
After he bowed, he said to Zhu Yuanzhang,
"Your Majesty, I went to see the salt well with Zhu Ying today. Your Majesty, we're rich this time. That refined salt, tsk tsk, it's snow-white. And those salt-making equipment are so advanced. Your Majesty, let's do it.”
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him.
"You are fully responsible for this matter. Don't tell anyone.”
Li Jinglong smiled and bowed." I understand. When the time comes, I will put the money directly into the palace treasury."”
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.
Is that what I mean? The more I look at you, the more you look like a corrupt official.
Writing in the middle of the night, I'm asking for a fresh flower, a review ticket, and a monthly ticket, everyone.
