my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 70

"Father..." Zheng Neng was also frightened, and said anxiously, "What should I do then?"

Zheng Heng closed his eyes: "There is no more money, the family has no money at all, except for this house, everything that should be sold has been sold."

Speaking of this, hot tears rolled down from Zheng Heng's eyes, Zheng Heng continued: "Those old brothers in the past, seeing me like this, now avoid me like snakes and scorpions, and they speak ill of me one by one, wanting to cut off their robes and judge their righteousness." .Hey...at this point, there is only one way."

Zheng Neng said: "What way."

Zheng Heng opened his eyes and said solemnly: "Father has to be sick, he has to be called a serious illness. Starting today, I will thank guests behind closed doors and tell the outside world that my old illness has relapsed. Now... I can't get up anymore. My son... at home... , it's up to you."

Zheng Neng suddenly realized: "My son understands."

The father and son made an agreement, but Zheng Heng fell to the ground without saying a word.

Zheng Neng picked up Zheng Heng and yelled: "Father, dad... what's the matter with you, what's the matter with you... my father..."

…………

At the same time, Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu, who heard the news, was already anxious.

The emperor suddenly wanted to exile Zhu Yong and others, but Zhu Gaoxu did not say a word.

After all, he is aware of his father's stubborn temperament, he is his father's good son, so he can't sing against his father at this time.

But how did he know that his imperial brother actually ran to plead for mercy, and the father agreed.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu regretted it.

This is such a good opportunity to buy people's hearts, but now his brother has taken it first.

Thinking of the intimacy his father showed to Zhang Anshi that day, and hearing that his father had gone to the East Palace, he was full of praise for his grandson Zhu Zhanji.

Thinking about father and emperor starting to obey the emperor's brother today.

Zhu Gaoxu felt that the balance of the emperor's father began to tilt towards the prince.

If you don't do something...

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help shivering.

He hurried into the palace to see him.

At this time, Zhu Di had just rested, and the prince and Yao Guangxiao had already resigned.Hearing Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu begging to see him, Zhu Di still cheered up and said, "Call me in."

"Royal father." Zhu Gaoxu said in an affectionate tone as soon as he entered the palace.

Zhu Di smiled. After all, he still likes Zhu Gaoxu. After all, this child really looks like him when he was young.

Zhu Di said: "Why did you enter the palace again today, have you seen your mother?"

"Let's go later." Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "Although the minister is outside, he always misses the emperor and the queen in his heart. It is a pity that the minister cannot live in the palace. If not, he can accompany the emperor day and night Queen Mother's side."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "When you grow up, there is no reason to live with your parents, let alone we are the royal family. Come, sit down and talk."

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head: "I don't like to sit, I always feel that I can't stretch when I sit. Father...I heard something outside."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Tell me, what's the matter."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I heard that...the three murderers in the capital used to do business there near the Confucius Temple wharf, and they made a lot of money. I also heard that...it seems that Zhang Anshi...was also involved..."

Zhu Gaoxu said while carefully observing Zhu Di's reaction.

Seeing Zhu Di's serious expression, he felt confident.

Indeed, many people knew about this transaction, and he thought that his father might have also noticed it, because Marquis Wu An was involved in this transaction.However, I think the emperor probably doesn't know who the other people involved are.

Zhu Gaoxu continued: "Father, what have our relatives and relatives of Ming Dynasty become like now? One by one, they competed with the people for profit, and did not hesitate to harm the people in order to earn ignorant money. My son heard that... at the pier, there are many Good people have been suffering for a long time, this matter... I think it is of great importance, so I must investigate it."

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes, showing an extremely vigilant look.

Zhu Gaoxu is very familiar with this kind of vigilance, and it is usually a sign of his father's anger.

"That's why I think that, for the sake of the country and the country, and for the sake of long-term stability, it is better to ruthlessly kill the current trend. Father should let Jin Yiwei investigate thoroughly. As for the people involved... also need to be clarified. "

Zhu Di raised his head: "Who did you listen to these things?"

Zhu Gaoxu was taken aback, thought for a while and said, "There are rumors everywhere."

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu vigilantly: "If that's the case, what do you want to do?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Search, those involved, those who should be punished should be punished, and those who should be punished should be punished."

Zhu Di said lightly: "Okay, then you can just order and do it."

Zhu Gaoxu was overjoyed when he first heard his father say yes, but then he asked him to make an order, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.

So he quickly laughed and said: "Why did the father say such a joke? The son is not the father, how can he make an order?"

After saying this, Zhu Di suddenly flew into a rage and said, "You also know that you can't make an order? But you still dare to idle around all day long, meddling in other things? What are you? You are the King of Han, you are a vassal, you should have gone Go back to your own mansion, this capital city is not a place for you to stay. I think of the love of father and son, so I let you stay in the capital, but you only know the side of things all day long! What, is this Daming country yours?"

Zhu Gaoxu only felt that there was a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and that he was just talking gossip, why was his father so angry?

He was anxious: "Father, this son is your son after all, son... son..."

But Zhu Di pointed at the palace door: "Get out, get out!"

Zhu Gaoxu still wanted to continue playing tricks: "What is the crime of my son?"

Zhu Di seemed to be even angrier, staring at him, copied the memorial from the royal case, and threw it at Zhu Gaoxu: "Get out!"

Zhu Gaoxu was hit by the memorial, although he was not injured, he was still in pain. Seeing his father's fury, he ran away without daring to talk.

Zhu Di's voice came from behind: "Your mother, why did I give birth to such a bastard like you!"

Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu's heart was pierced by a knife, he couldn't figure out what the problem was anyway.

He was terrified like a bereaved dog, he ran all the way for a long time, and when he arrived at the Meridian Gate, he finally calmed down a little.

But at this time, a person came towards him, and this person was obviously preparing to enter the palace.

It's Ji Gang.

Ji Gang was wearing a flying fish uniform bestowed by the emperor, with an iron plaque hanging from his waist, and an embroidered spring knife.

Zhu Gaoxu and Ji Gang had a fateful friendship. Although Ji Gang never expressed his position in the battle for the crown prince and rarely dealt with Zhu Gaoxu, there was a tacit understanding between them.

When Ji Gang saw Zhu Gaoxu leaving the palace in a state of embarrassment, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

But he didn't say much, just stepped forward lightly: "I have seen the King of Han."

Zhu Gaoxu collected himself, forced a smile and said, "Is Commander Ji going to see you?"

Ji Gang said neither humble nor overbearing: "Yes."

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly lowered his voice: "Father seems to have complained about this king recently, it must be my brother who said something bad."

Ji Gang frowned slightly, he seemed to feel that he should be more cautious on this occasion, and shouldn't whisper with Zhu Gaoxu here.

But it was obvious that King Han was in a hurry, and Ji Gang had no choice but to respond softly: "What's the reason?"

"I just don't know why." Zhu Gaoxu looked anxious, thought for a while and said, "I have thought about it, but I still need to find someone my father can trust..."

Ji Gang had no expression on his face.

"Do you have any impression of Guo Degan?"

"I know this person."

"This person is deeply loved by the royal family, and the emperor never hides his compliments. Brother Ji, you have to find a way to find out this person... Guo Degan."

Ji Gang frowned even deeper.

"Why, why didn't Brother Ji say anything?"

Ji Gang paused for a moment and said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has issued repeated orders not to investigate Guo Degan's identity."

Zhu Gaoxu looked displeased: "My brother, you can just investigate quietly."

Ji Gang took a deep look at Zhu Gaoxu, but said: "Your Highness... Jin Yiwei must not intervene in matters that His Majesty strictly prohibits visits. This is an iron law, and I think it is for His Highness's benefit."

He paused, seemed to think that Zhu Gaoxu might still not be able to understand, and then said: "Jinyiwei is a sharp blade. When Emperor Gaozu was here, he was wary of Jinyiwei and once abolished Jinyiwei. It is precisely because Jinyiwei once lost control , The backlash is huge. The emperor is so wise, how can he not understand this truth?"

"That's why I think that there must be a lot of scouts that His Majesty has sprinkled into Jinyiwei in this Jinyiwei. These people... are always watching Humble's every move. In three days, someone will report to His Majesty, and at that time, I am afraid that both Your Highness and Your Majesty will be in great trouble."

With a sullen face, Zhu Gaoxu finally sighed and said, "Okay, okay."

After all, he passed by Ji Gang.

He went straight back to his palace, but kept moaning and sighing, as if he still felt unwilling.

So after thinking about it, he recruited a guard: "I have something for you."

"Your Highness, please give me instructions." All of Hanwang Wei's people are the confidantes of Hanwang, and they all fought against Zhu Gaoxu's dead body in the sea of ​​blood.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "There is a person, we have to investigate carefully on our own, but...but we must not make a statement, we must not leak any information."

"who is it?"

"One is Guo Degan." Zhu Gaoxu said slowly: "He is a doctor, he doesn't seem to be very old, he should be just a young man, about twenty years old, and my father likes young people who look like me the most, so, When I think about it carefully, this person must be quite tall and powerful."

The guard was silent for a moment, and then said: "It's really hard to find based on these alone."

"This person must be in Nanjing City."

The guard thought for a while and said, "You are humble, so I will secretly lead someone to turn this Nanjing city upside down, and I will also find this person."

Zhu Gaoxu took a deep look at the guard: "Don't startle the snake, remember... this matter must not be publicized, and the personnel selected must be trustworthy. In short, if you dig three feet, you can't find Guo Degan, so come and see him. "

The guard shuddered.

"Here!"
