The king of Han's successive requests had already made Zhu Di suspicious.

Although he did not force Han Wang to go to Qingzhou, he summoned two people that night.

Yang Shiqi and Jian Yi, who had gone to prison before and were pardoned.

The prince is soft-hearted towards the King of Han because the King of Han is his younger brother born of his own mother.

The King of Han is not the younger brother of Yang Shiqi and Jian Yi.

When Heidan heard who the emperor had summoned, he smiled wryly and said, "Master Yang looks like a refined scholar, so it must be good to be a swordsman. If he doesn't make a move, he will surely hit. Let's just wait."

Sure enough, a decree came out from the palace the next day: the domain of the King of Han was set in Le'an, Shandong, and no further changes were allowed.

It is said that Yang Shiqi only used one sentence to bring down the King of Han: The King of Han was granted the feudal title twice, but he did not take up the vassal, and now His Majesty has expressed his intention to move the capital to Beijing, but he wants to stay in Jinling and refuses to leave. I hope Your Majesty will think twice.

There can be a thousand explanations for the same event, and Master Yang chose the one that would kill the King of Han the most.

Combined with the fact that the King of Han was stalking and needing to add guards earlier, Zhu Di estimated that he was about to break out in a cold sweat: Is this kid trying to follow the path of Lao Tzu and rebel against Lao Tzu!

The imperial edict has come down, and the overall situation has been decided.The king of Han also accepted the decree, but he did not move.

The saying goes: "Poor people have to clean up the pots and pans when they move. After all, the son is a prince named by his father and the emperor. The family has a big business, so it will take some time to clean up."

This is an excuse, but I don't know whether Zhu Di really believed it or softened his heart, so he didn't kick him out.

It's also understandable.In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and it took years and months to see each other for this separation.After all, he is the son who has been raised by his side for more than 30 years, and he has always been the favorite, doubts are doubts, and Zhu Di's heart is also long, and he is reluctant to send him away like this.The king of Han had to wait for a while, so Zhu Di let him continue to "pack his luggage" without haste.

Although the king of Han has not yet established the feudal domain, the imperial decree has made known the matter to the world, which shows that the emperor has made up his mind.

In the Ming Dynasty, who was the crown prince and who was the feudal lord finally had a clear explanation in front of the people of the world, and the courtiers in charge of the grandson's marriage could finally feel at ease in making drafts.

"According to me, who doesn't know that I will definitely choose you in the end, why go through this formality. Anyway, the maids are all from innocent families, so just pick an honest and stable deputy from the palace. Let's get married earlier and save money." It's a waste of money." Heidan said.

"Marriage is such a big deal, how can it be child's play." I said.

Drafts in the Ming Dynasty were generally concentrated in the capital and nearby areas in order to reduce harassment to the public.The crown prince is kind and caring for the people, and he specially told the officials that if the people don't want to send their daughters into the palace, they should not force them.

However, at the end of the year, many censors teamed up to participate in the East Palace, and used the draft to rob women, even pregnant women, causing many tragedies of one dead and two dead.

This incident ruined the family, and even damaged the reputation of the emperor's grandson among the people.Zhu Di was furious, he couldn't help but cursed the prince, and ordered the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, the Third Division of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Jin Yiwei to conduct a strict investigation.

The prince is innocent and confused.

These women who reported being robbed had never been seen in the East Palace. At best, they could only be charged with ineffective control, but they took the blame for others and were used by the emperor as a punching bag.

It must be someone who raped and plundered women in the name of Donggong draft.

The crown prince and Heidan came back from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The crown prince had a dejected face: "According to reports from various local governments, there are real people who have proved that their family members were robbed, and the case is true. The officials who went to investigate the case all saw the corpse of the pregnant woman. Several women are missing."

Heidan also said: "The officials in charge of the draft have all been tortured, but they still can't tell the whereabouts of the relevant women. I'm afraid it's not them who committed the crime this time, but someone else."

If the real culprit can't be found, Donggong will always carry the blame.Although for the sake of the royal face, the emperor will probably execute the selection officer as a scapegoat in the end, but it will eventually damage the impression of the East Palace in his mind.You must know that the big plus points of the East Palace are compassion for the common people and benevolent governance.

But how difficult is it to find out the real culprit?

When the common people reported the case, they only said that there was an "official family" who took away their family members, but who, which yamen, what grade, whether it was an official or an official, how could the common people know?Even if you can draw a portrait based on the description of appearance and offer a reward for arrest, looking for a few people in a vast crowd is worse than finding a needle in a haystack.

Just when Donggong was at a loss, the real murderer showed his feet.
