Family ancestor Zhu Chongba: What happened to getting your daughter pregnant?
Chapter 97 The target of public criticism
On the road.
"My lord, I wonder how your majesty is feeling at the moment?"
Zhu Yunxi looked at Wang Defa, who looked solemn next to him, and asked casually.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for talking too much. Such a big thing has happened. Do you think His Majesty will be in a good mood? Once the news spreads, I'm afraid those courtiers who are dissatisfied with you will definitely attack you!"
"You'd better think about how to deal with it later."
Wang Defa sighed and reminded with some worry.
After hearing Wang Defa's reminder, Zhu Yunxi curled his lips and let out a chuckle, still looking calm and at ease, as if he didn't take it to heart at all.
"You're not worried at all?"
Wang De was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhu Yunxi in confusion and asked.
"If worrying is useful, then I will definitely be like an ant on a hot pot."
"However, I would like to thank you, Eunuch Wang, for your kind reminder. I will never forget this friendship."
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said nonchalantly.
After hearing Zhu Yunxi's answer, Wang Defa shook his head helplessly and stopped talking.
After such a big thing happened, it seemed that Wang Defa, an unrelated person, cared more about his own safety than Zhu Yunxi himself.
...
Minghe Hall.
After a long time, Zhu Yunxi finally followed Wang Defa into the hall.
As soon as he walked in, Zhu Yunxi found Zhu Yuanzhang sitting on the dragon couch with a majestic expression, and Li Jinglong standing not far away, pretending to be solemn.
"My grandson has met Grandpa Huang."
Zhu Yunxi came closer, smiled and bowed respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang.
At the same time, Li Jinglong also bowed to him respectfully.
"Do you know your guilt?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Li Jinglong, looked at Zhu Yunxi coldly, and asked in a deep voice.
"Reporting to Grandpa Huang, my grandson is stupid. I wonder what happened to piss off Grandpa Huang?"
Zhu Yunxi looked confused, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in confusion, and asked innocently.
"Have you been to Jiaofangsi today?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked coldly with a stern face.
"Yes."
Zhu Yunxi nodded.
"I heard that someone from the Jiaofang Division died?"
"Indeed."
"The person who died is the son of Cai Yuanpei, the Minister of Punishment?!"
"probably."
"Did you kill him?!"
"No."
Hearing Zhu Yunxi's last answer, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly froze, with a hint of joy between his eyebrows, and subconsciously glanced at Li Jinglong who was standing aside.
Li Jinglong couldn't help but pause after hearing Zhu Yunxi's denial. He looked up at Zhu Yunxi in surprise, as if he didn't expect that Zhu Yunxi dared to deny it in front of His Majesty.
"The person was killed by the grandson's guards, but it was indeed the grandson who gave the order."
Zhu Yunxi smiled and explained slowly.
Hearing this, Li Jinglong raised his eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that you have admitted it, half of the matter is done!
However, Zhu Yuanzhang's face became even more ugly. He originally thought that things had turned around, but Zhu Yunxi's subsequent explanation made him speechless.
"You are so brave!"
"You actually dare to allow your subordinates to kill the son of the minister of the dynasty at will in public?! Do you still have the law in your eyes?! You can still laugh?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunxi with hatred, and asked sternly.
"My grandson has never been a person who cares about human life. He killed Cai Yuanpei's son not out of impulse, but because he deserved to die!"
Zhu Yunxi bowed his hands, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang seriously and said.
"How did he offend you?!"
"Before you kill him, can you know his identity?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang had a stern face and continued to ask. After speaking, he seemed to wink at Zhu Yunxi vaguely.
"know."
But Zhu Yunxi nodded without hesitation and said truthfully.
"you..."
Upon hearing Zhu Yunxi's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and sighed in his heart.
He didn't expect Zhu Yunxi to be so honest and unable to lie.
"Your Majesty, according to Wei Chen's investigation, His Highness Taisun had a quarrel with Cai Pingjin, son of Cai Yuanpei, for a dancing prostitute. In the end, the conflict escalated and Cai Pingjin died."
"However, despite the current result, I believe that His Highness Taisun did not do it intentionally. There must be extenuating circumstances. I hope Your Majesty will deal with it as appropriate."
Li Jinglong on the side suddenly took a step forward, bowed respectfully, and began to defend Zhu Yunxi with sincerity.
However, these words sounded like pleading for Zhu Yunxi, but the key reason for the murder mentioned in the words was to fight for a maiko, but it was more like adding fuel to the fire!
"So it was all about a maiko?!"
"Where is that man now?!"
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he looked at Zhu Yunxi with a disappointed look on his face and asked in a deep voice.
"The cause is indeed because of a maiko, but the grandson is not jealous of Cai Pingjin, but has another reason."
"This girl has been brought back to the Wandering Palace by her grandson."
Zhu Yunxi glanced at Li Jinglong and answered slowly.
"This witch has evil intentions and seduces the great grandson. She deserves the death penalty!"
"Mr. Cao Guo! Go to Liuli Palace quickly and capture that witch!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said sternly with a stern face.
"According to the order!"
Li Jinglong agreed and immediately prepared to go.
However, at this moment, Wang Defa, who had left the hall at some unknown time, hurriedly walked in from outside the hall, his face full of panic.
"Your Highness, what's wrong, there are many courtiers outside. They all came here after hearing that His Highness Taisun killed someone in Jiaofangsi."
Wang Defa saluted and said solemnly. After speaking, he glanced at Zhu Yunxi worriedly.
After hearing Wang Defa's words, Li Jinglong, who was about to leave, also hesitated and stopped and listened.
"How did the news leak out so quickly?!"
"What do they want to do?! Come to plead for mercy?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice with a gloomy face.
"There are indeed people who intercede on behalf of His Highness the Grand Sun, but they are rare. Most of them are begging Your Majesty to severely punish His Highness the Grand Sun..."
"The leader is Tong Wenjie, the Minister of Revenue, who speaks fiercely and insists on meeting His Majesty..."
Wang Defa shook his head helplessly and said cautiously.
Hearing that half of the courtiers had arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that someone wanted to plead for his grandson, but in the end almost all of them came to add insult to injury and beg for severe punishment. He could not help frowning again.
In fact, he should have expected such a situation. As his grandson, he had no good reputation to begin with, and he had no contact with hundreds of officials in the court. Who would intercede on his behalf?
Faced with this situation, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what to do.
The grandson did indeed make a big mistake by killing the son of the current Minister of Punishment. In addition to his many misdeeds in the past, he will definitely become the target of public criticism. If he does not give an explanation today, those outside will definitely not let it go.
But he finally found a grandson who was good at both civil and military skills. How could he bear to be reprimanded?
"What are you still waiting for?!"
"Why don't you go quickly?!"
"By the way, take down the guard who killed Cai Pingjin for me!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated, he saw that Li Jinglong was still stunned, and he couldn't help but scolded him in a deep voice.
He suddenly thought that since his grandson did not do it himself, he might be able to calm down some public anger by killing the guards who did it.
Li Jinglong hurriedly agreed, turned around and left quickly.
"stop!"
"If you dare to step out of this door today! I will never let you go!"
Just when Li Jinglong was about to step out of the palace gate, Zhu Yunxi suddenly turned around, stared at Li Jinglong's back, and shouted sternly.
After hearing Zhu Yunxi's words, Li Jinglong's right foot that he stepped out couldn't help but stop in mid-air. For a moment, he didn't know whether to take it back or step out.
"Evil! What do you want to do?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhu Yunxi dissatisfied, and asked in a deep voice.
He originally hoped to reduce Zhu Yunxi's guilt by severely punishing the guards who took action, and at the same time, it could delay him for a while so that he could think of a perfect strategy. However, he did not expect that Zhu Yunxi directly threatened Li Jinglong.
"Grandpa Huang, my grandson can prove that Cai Pingjin is indeed worthy of his death!"
"This matter has nothing to do with the maiko and my grandson's guard. If the emperor still feels that he is at fault after listening to his explanation, he is willing to bear all the blame!"
Zhu Yunxi turned around, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang seriously, and said decisively.
"How do you prove that?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and looked at Zhu Yunxi hesitantly to ask.
"Your Majesty! I have something to report!"
"Please summon your Majesty!"
At this time, a familiar voice came from outside the hall, it was the voice of Tong Wenjie, the Minister of Household Affairs.
Hearing Tong Wenjie's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's face became solemn, and a hint of boredom flashed between his brows.
"Grandpa Huang, since Tong Shangshu is in such a hurry, you might as well let him come in and listen. It just so happens that what my grandson said needs multiple witnesses."
Zhu Yunxi raised his hands and said respectfully.
Hearing Zhu Yunxi's words, Li Jinglong, who was standing aside, frowned unconsciously and his heart tightened because he couldn't figure out why Zhu Yunxi was suddenly so confident...
