Minghe Hall.

"Has it been confirmed that the other party is really Bei Yuan's spy?"

After hearing Xu Huizu's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Absolutely true!"

Xu Huizu nodded vigorously and answered without hesitation.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Yunwen thoughtfully.

"Since they can easily sneak into Kyoto and cause chaos, they must not be ordinary young people. Even if they escape, it is not your fault. Just confirm that they are Beiyuan spies."

"But we must be more vigilant in the future, and things like last night cannot happen again, otherwise I will never let you go leniently!"

Zhu Yuanzhang paused and said in a deep voice without blaming him.

Xu Huizu is one of his most trusted courtiers. Since Xu Huizu has confirmed that the Beiyuan spy really appeared in Kyoto, it must be true.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Xu Huizu nodded heavily and bowed gratefully.

"Be flat."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and continued.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xu Huizu agreed and stood up slowly.

From beginning to end, he never glanced at Zhu Yunxi.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson feels that the Beiyuan spies appeared in Kyoto at this time, perhaps to cooperate with the Beiyuan army's October operation, deliberately creating chaos in Kyoto, causing internal strife in our court, and providing an opportunity for the Beiyuan army to take advantage of. Opportunity."

At this time, Zhu Yunxi bowed his hands and said seriously.

"Oh? What do you mean by this?"

"Even if they sneak into Kyoto and kill a few people, how can they cause infighting within my government?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"When Sun Er was writing "The Chronicles of the Ming Dynasty", in order to enrich the content, he naturally asked many people about their anecdotes, from courtiers to princes and grandsons, to learn about the past and present."

"So my grandson accidentally inquired about something and found that Xie Linzhou seemed to be very close to the fourth uncle in private. Perhaps the Beiyuan spy also found out about this and thought that Xie Linzhou was the fourth uncle's man."

"So the grandson suspects that maybe they took advantage of this. When they knew that the second brother was secretly investigating Xie Linzhou, they pretended to be the fourth uncle and attacked the Lu family!"

"Xie Linzhou was arrested and Lu Wenbo was killed. It looks very much like a fight and revenge between the fourth uncle and the second brother! They are trying to sow discord and create the illusion of fighting for the heir apparent!"

"After seeing what happened, they wanted to evacuate Kyoto and get out of the incident. Unexpectedly, they were discovered by the Jinwu Guards and were exposed."

Zhu Yunxi paused for a moment and analyzed thoughtfully, speaking clearly and logically.

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and then nodded involuntarily.

To be honest, he had suspected that this was an open and covert fight between the second emperor's grandson and the fourth prince, but he least expected the truth to be like this.

And he didn't expect that his grandson would actually know that Xie Linzhou was from King Yan.

"So, the grandson feels that the second brother was just deceived and fell into the trap of the Beiyuan spy. That's why he became suspicious of the grandson and felt that everything last night was related to the grandson."

"But his grandson doesn't blame him. He also wanted to find out the truth of the matter and did not deliberately target his grandson."

"Please Grandpa Huang, please don't blame the second brother. He did this without any malice."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and continued.

Hearing that Zhu Yunxi actually started to plead for himself, Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Zhu Yunxi with complicated eyes. He didn't seem to appreciate it, but a trace of resentment flashed from the depths of his eyes.

Obviously, Grandpa Huang hasn’t blamed me yet, but you are the first to show mercy like a cat and a mouse! This is not asking for mercy, it is clearly forcing Grandpa Huang to punish me!

"Look at Yunxi! Look at you again!"

"That aggressive and suspicious look just now, how does it look like a brother?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Zhu Yunwen and reprimanded him.

Zhu Yunwen's face was filled with bitterness and he was speechless.

Although he didn't want to admit it, the fact was that he lost to Zhu Yunxi again.

"Yunxi also knew how to share my worries. He stayed up all night and not only found out the shocking secret of the Beiyuan army's intention to invade our border, but also made Xie Linzhou take the initiative to confess his crime. What about you?!"

"Besides giving him a hand, what else have you done?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunwen with a disappointed look on his face and continued.

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's scolding, Zhu Yunwen lowered his head deeply, his face full of decadence.

He had begun to regret that he should not have rushed to the Minghe Palace in a hurry today. If he had not been so impulsive at that time, perhaps he would not have been as badly defeated as he is now.

"That's all, I'm too lazy to say anything more. You should go back and think about right and wrong!"

"From now on, I am banned from the Jinxiu Palace. I am facing the wall and thinking about my faults. I am not allowed to step out of the Jinxiu Palace until I get the decree!"

"When will you know where you went wrong? When will you send someone to tell me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said helplessly, signaling Zhu Yunwen to retreat.

"Grandpa Huang, although my second brother made a mistake, wasn't the punishment too severe?"

Zhu Yunxi frowned, took a step forward slowly, and said with a grimace.

"Some things, if they are wrong, they are wrong! We have to let him remember it for a long time!"

"I have forgiven you enough!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, with no intention of changing his mind.

Zhu Yunwen saluted with a pale face, stood up and left without saying a word, his face full of frustration.

"Second brother, walk slowly, don't think too much, I will visit you another day."

Zhu Yunxi sighed, and said helplessly while watching Zhu Yunwen off.

But when Zhu Yunwen heard these words, he was heartbroken.

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, you can go back. You should pay more attention to the attack on the Lu family and find out who did it."

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Huizu again and said in a deep voice.

"The minister obeys the order."

Xu Huizu agreed respectfully, saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunxi respectively, and then slowly exited the hall.

From the sudden appearance to the final departure, there was no communication between him and Zhu Yunxi, and they didn't even make eye contact.

But the reason why he appeared was because he promised Zhu Yunxi to help Xiao Huan when he and Zhu Yunxi were walking under the moon.

However, when Hongyuan appeared at the Central Military Governor's Mansion and told him that Zhu Yunxi had been summoned to the Minghe Hall, he realized that the help Zhu Yunxi said at that time was not really to help Xiao Huan, but to help Zhu Yunxi himself.

The moment he walked into the Minghe Hall and saw the completely different expressions of Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunwen, he already understood everything.

When he recalled what Zhu Yunxi told him last night, "Don't ask, it won't do you any good", he was already convinced that everything last night might really be related to Zhu Yunxi as the Second Emperor Sun said!

Thinking of this, the shock in Xu Huizu's heart could not be described in words.

But apart from the shock, what was more felt was the feeling of shame and unspeakable admiration.

At this time, only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunxi, the grandfather and grandson, and Wang Defa, who worshiped Zhu Yunxi, were left in the Minghe Hall.

"Come for a walk with me."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Yunxi thoughtfully, turned around and walked out.

Zhu Yunxi agreed with a smile and followed him briskly.

Wang Defa and a group of young eunuchs followed him not far or near.

"Do you think other than Xie Linzhou, is there anyone in the court who has second thoughts?"

In the Imperial Garden, Zhu Yuanzhang stood by the lake, looking at the fish swimming in the lake, and asked meaningfully.

"My grandson doesn't know."

"But everyone has their own greed, and people are selfish. However, my grandson firmly believes that with Grandpa Huang here, anyone with double-minded intentions will not be able to escape your eyes!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said seriously.

"how about you?"

After hearing Zhu Yunxi's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked this question coldly.

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, his heart tightened and his scalp became numb.

"The same goes for my grandson, who is equally selfish, but he just wants to get rid of the shadow of the past where he accomplished nothing and was despised by everyone."

"My grandson wants to regain his own dignity, to be respected by others, to give the emperor a face, and to no longer look like a rat crossing the street."

"I hope that one day, when Grandpa Huang talks about his grandson to others, he will feel confident and his face will be full of glory!"

Zhu Yunxi thought for a moment, sighed, and said with great sincerity.

After listening to Zhu Yunxi's words, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and glanced at Zhu Yunxi thoughtfully, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then nodded happily.

"But have you ever thought that now that the traitor has been eliminated, the idea of ​​establishing a false grandson that you originally proposed may come to an end?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time, he asked again, with a complicated look between his eyebrows...
