Zhu Di and Xu Da rode high-headed horses, refreshed, and walked at the forefront of the team returning to the palace.

Zhu Di looked up at the sky, the sky was incredibly blue, and it was suffocatingly blue.

"General," when wearing a battle robe, Zhu Di always called Xu Da 'general', "Why are you here too?" ”

"The emperor has the foresight and has already made arrangements, so where is Hu Weiyong his opponent?" Xu Da smiled slightly, and no one noticed the loneliness in his eyes.

Although Hu Weiyong has become a prisoner, he will never be able to truly take revenge.

As a courtier, this is his fate.

He is a member of the world, but his thoughts are imprisoned in traditional etiquette and religion, and he has no consciousness of resisting imperial power and safeguarding human rights.

When the stone told him that Mrs. Xie did not hang herself, there were only nine words in his mind - the king told the minister to die, and the minister had to die.

Zhu Yuanzhang once again sat in the supreme dragon chair of Fengtian Temple, and this time he felt very different from before.

He smiled as he remembered the ropes that had tied him to the dragon chair and kept him from moving.

He has calmly accepted the fact that Hu Weiyong is arrogant and arrogant and threatens the imperial power. For opponents who have been defeated by himself, Zhu Yuanzhang sometimes reciprocates with compassion.

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched his arms and stretched his waist. For more than ten years, he had never stretched his waist in the Fengtian Temple, and he had never been so comfortable and happy.

His throat itched slightly, and he spat out a mouthful of bloodshot phlegm.

Without the slightest panic, he grinned and cast a dismissive glance at the bloodshot - they were nothing, there was nothing he could do if he wanted to.

Zhu Di was ordered to enter the hall, radiant and radiant.

"Greetings to my father!"

"Flat! Di'er, Hu Weiyong's rebellion this time, there are a lot of people in Zhulian, I sent you to investigate them one by one, but everyone who has dealings with Hu Weiyong on weekdays must investigate. I want to punish the nine clans and let them know the fate of the rebellion! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's soft face gradually became stern.

In addition to Hu Weiyong and Mao Xiang, he will not let go of those who hide behind his back and think he can get away with it.

His supreme power cannot be challenged, and he wants to destroy not only those who plot rebellion, but also those who plot against it.

"Erchen takes orders!" Zhu Di's heart was overjoyed, he had never been entrusted with a heavy task by Zhu Yuanzhang, if this happened two years earlier, when he was most wronged, he might shed tears.

"Di'er, after you finish investigating Hu Weiyong's rebellion, go to Beiping to take up the domain. Both of your brothers have gone to the domain, and now it's your turn. I thought I'd wait for you to get older, but now it seems that you don't need to, you're much more capable than your brother. ”

"Yes, Father!" Zhu Di kowtowed and thanked him, and a profound gaze appeared in front of him.

The autumn breeze is bleak, the leaves are scattered, and the colorful colors turn into monotonous earth tones.

Ying Tianfu was shrouded in a thin layer of mist. The finches that used to sing in the streets and alleys have long since lost their leisure and are busy preparing for winter.

The ten lixiang is still full of friends, and there is no impermanence of the four seasons here. Laughter and laughter will not stop because of the change of dynasty, and conspiracy and treachery will not rest because of peace and prosperity.

There will always be only one owner of the private room in the southernmost room on the second floor.

"Lord, Hu Weiyong, this idiot has messed things up!" Li Chengyi was so angry that he looked as if he was the one who had suffered the most losses.

"Lin Xian's hundreds of Japanese elite soldiers have not arrived, the Northern Yuan army has not arrived, and even the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered by Lu Zhongheng and Fei Ju in Dai County are not ready, so they want to rebel by relying on Mao Xiang's hundreds of people and some rabble on the rivers and lakes? Is he too bold? ”

"On the contrary," the lord touched the sharp angle above his head and said unhurriedly, "Hu Weiyong's courage is too small, I really overestimate him." Zhu Yuanzhang received the piece of Liu Ji being killed by Hu Weiyong, and Hu Weiyong was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would use this matter to eradicate him, so he could only start the incident in advance. ”

"Didn't Zhu Yuanzhang want to kill Liu Ji?" Li Chengyi was puzzled.

"Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say it explicitly, this is called killing two birds with one stone, clever! not only destroyed Liu Ji, but also made Hu Weiyong appear. ”

"But this is the ...... of the Lord" Li Chengyi swallowed his saliva, he decided to take the failure on himself, "I asked Hu Weiyong to kill Liu Ji's ......"

"Liu Ji's death, if Hu Weiyong calms down, Zhu Yuanzhang can't do anything about him. My original intention was to intensify the progress of the matter, and Hu Weiyong, who killed Liu Ji, the leader of the Zhedong Group, would be even more invincible, and Zhu Yuanzhang also got more bargaining chips. I didn't expect ...... Hey, before the two armies went to war, one side was already in the air, useless, useless! ”

"I see, the Lord is wise!"

"I originally wanted to watch a big drama where Hu Weiyong and Zhu Yuanzhang both lost and lost, but I didn't expect it to end so hastily." Li Chengyi shook his fat head angrily.

"By the way, this kid really doesn't know what to do. Why did he stop Zhu Yuanzhang's Luan at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion? If it weren't for him, Zhu Yuanzhang would have entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I am afraid he would not have been able to come out again. ”

"Do you really think that Zhu Yuanzhang will enter the Prime Minister's Mansion?" The lord's eyes were cold, and his two slightly tired eyes stared motionlessly at the blue and white porcelain wine glass in his hand, "Hmph, you underestimate Zhu Yuanzhang too much." He's a lot tougher than we thought. ”

"No one is an opponent of the Lord." Li Chengcheng flattered.

The Lord sneered.

"Lord, do you want to dispose of the stone? He may be my brother's child, but we seem to be enemies. He never looked at me properly, and he suspected me of letting his father do bad things. I'm afraid he'll spoil our business one day. ”

Li Chengyi's eyes showed a fierce light, remembering the stone's contempt for him, and he wanted to divide his five horses.

"The stone is a talent, and it can't be killed." The Lord's cold gaze flashed with an imperceptible smile, "You have to be more careful not to show flaws." ”

Li Chengyi lowered his head, unwilling.

"What? You don't know how important he is. To tell you the truth, if he dies, we will not be able to fight this battle, and all the defeats and losses will be insignificant compared to him. If he wants to stop our plan, then we can stop him, and we must not kill him. ”

"Yes!" Li Chengyi didn't ask again, he knew what he should say and what he shouldn't say.

In the organization of the Jiuli Gang, only obedience can survive.

The red flowers are decaying, the green leaves are withering, and the original exquisite outlines of the pavilions and pavilions of the Li Mansion are full of shadows in the tears and sorrow.

Li Shanchang never left the study, Mrs. Li didn't think about tea and dinner, and knelt in front of the Bodhisattva day and night to pray for Li Shanchang.

Lu Zhongqian inadvertently showed a little tone, and the servants of the Li Mansion sighed stupidly, and prepared for the escape smartly.

After Li Shanchang thought about it, he felt that Hu Weiyong was not thoughtful before the case.

How could he be naïve enough to think that he could stay out of it? How could he, the person who had promoted Hu Weiyong, escape the involvement? Why didn't he report Hu Weiyong's rebellion to Zhu Yuanzhang earlier?

Why can't he be sure that Hu Weiyong will get today's fate, and he is as whimsical as Hu Weiyong? Why did he lack the slightest bit of determination? The most terrifying thing is, why did he think of these things after the crime?

The scheming Li Shanchang also made a mistake of miscalculation, maybe just like this, he will be finished.

Li Shanchang still went to the court as usual, and after the court meeting, he returned to the mansion, hid in the study, meditated, regretted, and finally could only wait and see.

He couldn't do anything for the time being.

If he took the initiative to ask Zhu Yuanzhang for guilt, then there would be no three hundred taels of silver here, and Zhu Yuanzhang would arrest him and put him in prison on the spot.

Li Shanchang didn't dare to go to Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who was in charge of the case, and Zhu Yuanzhang's Jinyi guard was monitoring his every move at any time.

Shi learned that the fourth prince Zhu Di was in charge of tracking down Hu Weiyong, and his hanging heart was slightly relaxed.

He was ignorant of the world and never considered that the reason why Zhu Di got this opportunity was entirely because of his ventilating news, he just felt that he had some friendship with Dao Yan, and Dao Yan was the person next to Zhu Di, and it was reasonable for their family to be taken care of.

Come to think of it, the stone is still like pins and needles at home.

He repeatedly went to the small temple opposite the Yanwang Mansion to find Dao Yan, and Dao Yan sincerely told him that he would do his best to help the Li family survive this crisis.

Zhu Di successively reported to Zhu Yuanzhang those who participated in the rebellion, including Lin Xian, Feng Ji, Lu Zhongheng, Fei Ju, Tu Jie, Chen Ning, etc.

Li Shanchang was not listed, and everyone in the Li Mansion breathed a sigh of relief, except for Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang has been with Zhu Yuanzhang for more than 20 years and knows that Zhu Yuanzhang is not a tolerant person.

Even if Zhu Di did not report to Zhu Yuanzhang the evidence of the conspiracy between Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang, Zhu Yuanzhang would not easily spare him.

Li Shanchang began to think about what he had to do as a last resort.

Li Shanchang called for the stone.

"Stone, why were you at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion that day?" Li Shanchang habitually kept a straight face.

"I ......" Shi didn't dare to look at Li Shanchang's eyes, he lowered his head.

From childhood to adulthood, as long as he hid what his father did, even if it was a good thing, when his father found out, it was like a bad thing.

"Stone, come, sit down. It's okay, you say it slowly, Dad won't be angry. Li Shanchang was unexpectedly gentle.

"I, I heard your conversation with your uncle." The stone did not drag Lu Zhongqian into the water.

"Oh?" Li Shanchang was a little embarrassed. Rebellion, especially after it is exposed, is not only unethical, but also disgraceful.

Li Shanchang interrupted the topic in a panic.

"Stone, our family is now likely to be at risk of being implicated......"

"Dad, hasn't the fourth prince already arrested all the people involved? We're fine! Stone comforted his father with trepidation, knowing that his father, who had been rolling in the court for decades, was naturally much more prescient than he was.

Li Shanchang shook his head: "It won't end so soon, and my father doesn't know what the emperor will do to the Li family, but we always have to prepare for the worst first." ”

"Hmm."

"In case something happens to my father......" Li Shanchang was silent for a moment, "You go to Queen Ma, she is the only person who can persuade the emperor to let the Li family go." ”
