Minghe Hall.

"I heard it from a young eunuch in the ceremonial department. Wei Chen felt it was strange, so he asked a few questions and found that he also heard it from other palace maids."

"In order to confirm the authenticity, Weichen originally wanted to trace the source and find out who saw it with his own eyes, but in the end he was unable to find out."

"Perhaps it's just those people who heard about it, and the minister is talking too much."

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Guo Ying explained while observing Zhu Yuanzhang's expression. When he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's face was getting more and more ugly, he hurriedly changed the subject.

In fact, he had no intention of telling Zhu Yuanzhang about this at first, because as the commander of Yulin Wei, he was not allowed to get involved in any affairs of the court. However, when he heard that Bao Zhao was sent to prison to avenge Liu Sanwu's personal revenge, he felt a little strange. Only then did he decide to report the matter to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"What hearsay! If someone didn't really see it, how could it be groundless?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly with a gloomy face, his eyes gradually becoming covered with a layer of cold murderous intent.

Guo Ying did not dare to say anything more and stood respectfully, not knowing whether what he did today was right or wrong.

"Okay, I understand, you can go down first."

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to signal Guo Ying to step back, and the anger on his face began to fade away.

Guo Ying agreed and slowly exited the hall with fear.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and leaned on the dragon couch. He no longer had the intention to read the book in his hand. He frowned slightly, thinking about how to make a decision.

He believed Guo Ying and knew that Guo Ying would not lie.

And once it is confirmed that what Guo Ying said is true, then Bao Zhao came last night not to avenge Liu Sanwu's private life, but to be instigated by others and take the opportunity to add insult to injury!

Huang Zicheng is from Jinxiu Palace, and the one who really instigated Bao Zhao is Jinxiu Palace!

After thinking about this, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression began to become more serious.

He was a little unsure whether the person behind the violence was the second grandson or his mother-in-law! If she is a princess, it doesn't matter. She can be thrown into the cold palace with an order!

But if it were the second grandson, it would be a blatant fight for the heir apparent! Once the matter is exposed, he can only punish severely!

Once this happens, the second grandson will probably no longer be a candidate for the grandson! But now he has not determined who is the best candidate for the position of crown prince! Once the two grandsons are unable to inherit the throne, the throne will be handed over to his sons!

When that time comes, those brothers will definitely fight to the death!

That was the last thing he wanted to see!

Thinking about this in his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang's brows gradually furrowed, and it was really difficult to come up with a perfect strategy for a while.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's frown, Wang Defa cautiously stepped forward to replace the hot tea without daring to disturb him.

"How do you think I should solve this matter?"

But at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly spoke and looked at Wang Defa seriously.

"what?!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. How dare you talk so freely about this matter? Please spare my life..."

Wang De was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly showed panic, he bowed and said.

"I just asked casually, and you said casually. I forgive you."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted lightly and said in a deep voice.

"this..."

"In my opinion, the most important thing is to stabilize the imperial court. Your Majesty can think about the rest later."

Wang Defa hesitated for a moment, bowed his hands, and answered cautiously.

Hearing Wang Defa's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was startled, something strange flashed in his eyes, and then a meaningful smile suddenly flashed across the corner of his mouth. Then he picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip. It seemed that in an instant It was suddenly enlightened.

"deliver an imperial order!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang put down the tea cup and said in a deep voice.

When Wang Defa heard the words, he hurriedly stood up and listened.

"The imperial censor of Zuodu is so outrageous that he avenges his personal vengeance and harbors evil intentions. His crime is unforgivable and he will not be pardoned immediately!"

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and said coldly, with murderous intent flashing through his eyes again.

"According to the order!"

Wang Defa replied respectfully without changing his expression.

He is worthy of being an old man who has served the emperor for many years. Although he is modest, he is indeed the person who best understands Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts! I know what Zhu Yuanzhang wants now!

"Also, since all the crimes committed by Cai Pingjin have been verified, those officials who shielded him will be killed if the circumstances are serious, and those who are less serious will be dismissed from their posts and sent to the army! To serve as a warning to others!"

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang looked gloomy and added another sentence.

"According to the order!"

When Wang Defa heard this, he couldn't help being surprised, but on the surface he was calm and calm, he respectfully agreed, and immediately went to draft the decree.

An hour later, Zuodu Yushi was exposed, and more than a dozen officials who had protected Cai Pingjin were beheaded in public at the same time!

Once the news spread, the whole Kyoto was shocked again!

No one would have thought that a jealous murder by a Jiaofang Si would involve so many lives overnight! Moreover, the DPRK and China lost two important ministers in a row in one day!

...

Wandering Palace.

In the study room in the back hall, Zhu Yunxi stood in front of the desk with great interest, holding a pen in his hand and swiping it on the paper. In order to make more money, he almost broke his head and wrote down all the good words he could think of in his memory. All the good sentences were written down.

After the Jiaofangsi incident, although he seemed to have committed murder, the business of Hongwu Bookstore and Mixue Bingge became more and more popular. In desperation, he had no choice but to sharpen his skills and save more copybooks.

Zi Ning stood by silently, grinding for Zhu Yunxi with a smile on her face. Counting the accounts and silver every day seemed to have become her happiest thing.

One time when she was excited, she suddenly said something to Zhu Yunxi, saying that she loved money, but was not greedy for money. The reason why she saw so much real gold and silver being transported to the Liang Palace was actually to make His Highness happy, and threatened to Save your money and help His Highness to open branches of Hongwu Bookstore and Mixue Bingge all over the world in the future.

Zhu Yunwen did not comment on this. Although he did not really do it to make money, he was very happy to see Zi Ning so happy now. After all, she had suffered a lot by "Zhu Yunxi"'s side in the past ten years.

"Your Highness, I see that your speed of publishing copybooks recently is not as smooth as before. You must be running out of words, right?"

"In that case, why don't you write poetry? With your literary talent, you can recite poetry and write poems."

Zi Ning looked at Zhu Yunxi who was holding the brush in his mouth and frowning in thought. Suddenly an idea came to him and he said curiously.

"That's a big move, and now is not the time to reveal it. If I ever start writing poetry, then all the scholars in the world will probably not dare to write poetry from now on!"

Zhu Yunxi curled his lips and smiled, and said confidently.

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's answer, Zi Ning was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile. In her heart, she just felt that His Highness was bragging, but she didn't care.

However, she didn't know that one day she would be extremely ashamed of her thoughts.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came, and Hong Yuan returned to the Liuli Palace and walked straight into the study.

Perhaps after hearing what Zhu Yunxi just said, he rolled his eyes involuntarily.

"Any news?"

Hearing the footsteps, Zhu Yunxi looked up, smiled and asked.

"Ah."

Hong Yuan glanced at Zi Ning who was standing aside, nodded slightly, and didn't say much.

"Okay, I've been writing for so long and my hands are numb. Let's take a rest. It just so happens that I can't think of any good words or sentences at the moment."

"Go and rest first. Come back later."

Zhu Yunxi put down his pen and smiled at Zi Ning.

Zi Ning agreed, said hello to Hong Yuan, turned and left the study.

She knew that His Highness was going to discuss business with Sister Hongyuan.

"How about it?"

Zhu Yunxi asked calmly as he sat down and picked up a cup of tea.

"Not long ago, the censor of Zuodu was exposed to violence and was beheaded by His Majesty's order. Also beheaded were more than a dozen officials, big and small, who had protected Cai Pingjin."

"His Highness wins this round again!"

Hong Yuan bowed her hands and said respectfully, with a hint of excitement in her eyes.

After hearing Hong Yuan's answer, Zhu Yunxi's face was as calm as water, as if he had already expected such an ending.

In fact, he has long known that the shocking incident alone cannot move Jinxiu Palace. He is just warning Jinxiu Palace through this incident, don't think that he is still the waste that he used to be!

The news that Guo Ying heard was deliberately revealed by Hongyuan's order from the palace's informants. It was just passed on one by one, and finally reached Guo Ying's ears on purpose, and the source could not be traced at all.

Therefore, no one will know that he spread this news...
