Zhu Wenkui, who was still on duty in the yamen, met an uninvited guest:

Zhu Wenqi.

The latter had an angry face, and as soon as he came out of the palace, he angrily came directly to Ying Tianfu to find his eldest brother.

Zhu Wenkui didn't pretend to be stupid, he knew what his younger brother came to him for.

Such a big event as An Dingbo being imprisoned was enough to spread throughout the upper circles of Nanjing in just one hour.

"Second brother."

"Don't call me brother!"

There was a sense of anger in the small body that was devouring people, and Zhu Wenqi swept all the small mountains of files on the table in front of Zhu Wenkui to the ground, pointed at Zhu Wenkui's nose and began to scold.

"You are so ruthless, you have such a poisonous strategy, you will pour dirty water on me all the way back. Yes, you are also a prince, and I can understand that you want to be the crown prince, but what can you do to rush at me, let my father drive me out of Nanjing, and frame my uncle. ”

"I'm going to say I didn't do it, do you believe it?"

Zhu Wenqi suddenly sneered: "Yes, it wasn't you who did it, but you instructed it, but in the whole of Nanjing, in addition to Jinyiwei, the only one who has the ability to do this is the Fifth Military Mansion, you instructed Wuding Marquis Guo Lan to do it."

When my uncle dies, when the third brother grows up in the future, you can also control the third brother with this matter, and no one will be able to snatch your crown prince's throne. ”

Picking up his thumb, Zhu Wenqi raised his hand and stroked: "You are a character, you are amazing!" ”

After being angry, Zhu Wenqi turned his head and ran out again, he had to find Zhu Yunwen to intercede for this matter.

It is futile to prove one's innocence now, and the most important thing is that there is no time.

How can there be any effort to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, a little later, in case the West Factory starts to be punished, it will be too late.

Waiting for Zhu Wenqi to leave, Yu Qian, who hid in the corner of the house and pretended to be an invisible person, dared to speak.

"It's over, it's all over."

There was no beginning or end to what he said, which annoyed Zhu Wenkui, who was already in a bad mood.

"What's over!"

"The brotherhood between His Highness and His Second Highness is over."

Yu Qian swallowed his saliva: "Now Your Highness, you can't wash this matter by jumping into the Yellow River, no matter who looks at it, you single-handedly planned and framed it, and when the Second Highness is older in the future, I'm afraid I will have to fight with you to the end." ”

"A little kid, I'm still afraid that he won't make it?"

said a hard word, but Zhu Wenkui still sighed dejectedly: "Second brother, I'm afraid I don't want to hate me to death in my heart now." ”

looked at each other silently, and they both saw the grievances in each other's eyes.

"Since the matter has come to this point, if you don't make a mistake, you can simply take this opportunity to do something absolutely nothing."

At this time, Yu Qian suddenly became ruthless, gritted his teeth and said: "Why don't Your Highness also go to Your Majesty, complain about your grievances, and hope that Your Majesty will deal with An Dingbo as soon as possible and administer justice for Your Highness." ”

Even if you pretend to be innocent now and plead for Zhu Wenqi, can people believe and accept your affection?

Since the possibility of being brothers and friends is gone, then we have to be enemies.

"That's just nonsense."

Zhu Wenkuiteng stood up and scolded Yu Qian: "That's the younger brother of the palace, he is young and ignorant, and it is difficult for the palace to be ignorant.

is so fraternal, and even more enemies, my father and emperor look at it, and I feel cold in my life. ”

After saying that, he raised his leg and walked out, and he also rushed to the palace to intercede.

Behind his back, Yu Qian sighed.

At this time in the palace, Zhu Yunwen had just come down from the small court meeting in the Jinshen Palace, and before he could walk back to the Qianqing Palace, he saw Zhu Wenqi already kneeling at the threshold.

"Son-in-law, see father."

"The second prince has been kneeling for nearly an hour."

Walking to Zhu Wenqi's side, Zhu Yunwen lowered his gaze and examined it, and was silent for two minutes before speaking.

"Get up, come in with me."

Crossing the threshold, behind him was Xiao Wenqi, who hurriedly got up.

As soon as he entered the hall, Zhu Wenqi knelt down again, and his little head was attached to the cold Beijing bricks.

"Father and Emperor Mingjian, the son's son and uncle must not do this act of trespassing, there must be strange grievances in it, and I hope that my father and the emperor will be forgiven.";

"Hmph."

Zhu Yunwen didn't run to the high royal couch, just stood in front of his son, snorting coldly.

"Forgiveness, how can I forgive him, he is bold and arrogant, I see that he is floating, I don't know what is high and high in the sky, and you still intercede for him.

When he was in charge of Jinyiwei in Quanzhou, he didn't think much about the affairs of the shipping department, and he took him as who he was, and repeatedly challenged my bottom line. ”

Under the anger, Zhu Wenqi trembled with fright, but when Zhu Yunwen's voice fell, he still insisted on pleading.

"Father, even if Erchen's uncle really has such arrogance, but Erchen's uncle is by no means an unwise person, how could it be, how could it be, leaving so many suspicious suspicions, Erchen begged his father to investigate carefully, someone must have framed him."

Zhu Yunwen stood quietly and did not speak, as if waiting for something, and there was silence in the Qianqing Palace.

Until, at the edge of the ear sound, there seems to be a slight sound, from far to near.

At this time, Zhu Yunwen spoke: "Frame, who can frame your uncle?" Who will frame him, after all, there is no wind and no waves. ”

Where would Zhu Wenqi think so much, when he saw that Zhu Yunwen seemed to have signs of loosening his breath, as if he saw the dawn of dawn, he was overjoyed, and shouted after walking a few steps on his knees and hugging Zhu Yunwen's thigh.

"Erchen's uncle sat on the trespass and died, and the unlucky one is naturally Erchen, so whoever can profit is the most suspicious."

The footsteps outside the temple stopped at this moment.

"Smack!"

Zhu Yunwen slapped down fiercely, and directly knocked Xiao Wenqi over, this slap was so strong that not only broke the latter's hair strands, but even the corners of his mouth were smashed, and the blood was dripping on the Beijing bricks.

"You're a bastard!"

Angrily pointing at Zhu Wenqi, who was so frightened that he even forgot to cry, Zhu Yunwen pointed to the outside of the hall: "Get out of here and kneel, get out!" ”

"Your Majesty, be careful of the dragon's body."

Shuangxi hurriedly stepped forward to stroke his chest and pat his back, and at the same time his eyes signaled, and several little eunuchs hurriedly stepped forward and dragged Zhu Wenqi to the outside of the hall.

It can be expected that on this day, Zhu Wenqi is afraid that he will have to spend it on his knees.

Zhu Wenqi, who was lost and depressed, was dragged out of the hall, dragged over the threshold, and saw Zhu Wenkui standing in the side direction with his godless eyes, and instantly didn't know where the strength and spirit came from, Zhu Wenqi suddenly straightened his spine, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, strode down the steps, and then turned around and knelt down against the robe of the Qianqing Palace.

The kneeling head is held high, and the kneeling is justifiable.

The two brothers looked at each other like this, and for a few minutes, Zhu Wenkui let out a long sigh, cleaned up his mood and walked into the Qianqing Palace.

"Son-in-law, see father."

"Why are you here too?"

Zhu Yunwen hadn't recovered from his anger at this time, and was sitting on the chairs on both sides of the hall panting, and Shuangxi on the side was busy waiting.

"The son is here to intercede for An Dingbo."

smashed down, Zhu Wenkui said solemnly: "In the case of the disclosure of the identity of the son, there are too many strange things, and the son-in-law does not believe that it was An Dingbo, but he is afraid that there are other people who are framed among them, so the son-in-law has the courage to implore his father that although he needs to interrogate An Dingbo, he must not be punished, so as not to be forced by the pain of punishment and confess his guilt in the heart of life and death."

If you are beaten into a trick, I am afraid that there will be a vain killing of the loyal and good. ”

"It's late."

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand tiredly: "As early as the early morning when I sent Gu Yu to prison, Xichang has already started to move, calculate the time, it is almost three hours now, I am guilty of denying, I am afraid that there will be a fixed number soon." ”

Zhu Wenkui suddenly became anxious.

"Father, under the great punishment, the criminal pleads guilty in order to die quickly, how can such testimony be true?"

Zhu Yunwen didn't answer Zhu Wenkui's eagerness, closed his eyes and was silent until a middle-aged eunuch hurriedly walked in.

"Your Majesty."

In the face of the whisper, Zhu Yunwen directly raised a hand.

"Be louder, no outsiders."

The eunuch knelt down in panic and bowed his head and said loudly.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the slave maid was ordered to try the case of An Dingbo, and there is no eyebrow yet.

Since the edict was imprisoned, although An Dingbo has served three hours in prison, he still refuses to admit his guilt, during which he fainted several times and still shouted injustice, and the slaves and maids are afraid that the continued torture will hurt An Dingbo's life, so he has come to ask for instructions on whether to continue. ”

The hall fell silent again.

Zhu Wenkui, who was kneeling not far away, only felt a tremor in his heart.

How did Gu Yu bear the three-hour punishment in the West Factory?

Don't talk about sinning, even those who haven't committed a crime should change their words and say that they are guilty.

After a long time, Zhu Yunwen opened his eyes.

"It seems that I blame him by mistake, and since my two sons have interceded for him, then I will give him a chance, and tomorrow I will try another day, whether it is life or death, depending on his own creation."
