Chapter 616: Born in Sorrow and Died in Peace
Zhang Fu was right, only three days later, Zhu Di knew the news of the real dragon, and immediately became furious and called Hu Ye, Zhang Fu, Zhu Neng and others to the palace.
"You are all amazing, you all know the news before me, and I am the only one who is kept in the dark!"
Zhu Di threw the quilt in his hand on the ground, and said viciously to the large group of people below, Zheng San next to him was frightened, with his understanding of Zhu Di, this time he was really angry.
"Your Majesty, Weichen also learned about this news, and immediately thought about reporting to the emperor, and the folds have already been written." Jin Zhong immediately stood up, took out a letter in his arms, and said loudly.
"Are you a fool? Your ink on this is dry, will it be written today? Zhu Di threw the song away, and Jin Zhong immediately knelt down.
"This guy wants to exonerate himself, but he doesn't know how the emperor can be deceived by him." Zhu Neng muttered in a low voice, Jin Zhong used to be able to pinch and calculate, there were a lot of ghost ideas, that letter was written down immediately after he heard about the real dragon, he didn't show it to Zhu Di directly, but just presented it when Zhu Di found out.
If it was earlier, he might have been fooled by him, but this wait was ten days, but he miscalculated.
"Cheng Guogong, tell me, do you know about this matter." Zhu Di directly began to roll call.
"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know about this matter, because as soon as Weichen returns to the house, he is chatting with his wife, and the conversation is ten days and ten nights, so I don't know anything about the outside world."
Zhu Neng directly denied it, but this reason is too far-fetched, even if you haven't seen each other for a few years, you can't talk for ten days and ten nights, right? Didn't you see Zhu Di's face turned blue?
"Qiu Fu, you say!"
Zhu Di ordered Qiu Fu again. This is the most honest old general, it's impossible to lie, right?
"Your Majesty, Weichen has been dizzy recently, and he always feels weak, and he has been sick at home for more than half a month, so I really don't know about this matter, if the emperor doesn't believe it, he can summon Han Langzhong on Yunshui Street, and he can testify for Weichen." Faced with such a thing, even Qiu Fu, an honest man, had to pretend to be sick. Although it seems that he can still fight with a sword, with one against ten.
Zhu Di glanced at everyone and found that whoever his eyes fell on, whose eyes would deliberately avoid it, obviously afraid of looking at him.
"Wen Bi, you say!"
Zhu Di finally found Zhang Fu, if Zhang Fu lied, he thought that this group of people could be pulled to beheaded.
Zhang Fu knew that he couldn't escape after all, so he had to walk out tremblingly.
"Go back to the emperor. Wechen did hear rumors a few days ago. Zhang Fu muttered.
As soon as Zhang Fu answered, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and finally someone came to be the scapegoat, silently admiring Zhang Fu's courage.
"Since you know in advance. Why don't you report it to me? Zhu Di said viciously.
"Your Majesty, this matter was also mentioned by Weichen three days ago when he heard from the Marquis of Fanchang, and he wanted to report to the emperor at that time, but was stopped by the Marquis of Fanchang. He said that this matter was a bit strange and could not disturb the emperor. Zhang Fu sold Hu Ye without hesitation.
"What!"
When Hu Ye heard this, he hated to take a knife and slice Zhang Fu, and whether he could be a good brother. Don't talk about what you said earlier, why did the emperor sell us as soon as he asked?
Zhu Neng and the rest of the veterans looked at poor Hu Ye, originally they thought that it was Zhang Fu who was to blame, but they didn't expect Zhang Fu to turn his head and sell Hu Ye.
"Hu Ye!"
Zhu Di yelled, directly scared Hu Ye into weakness in his legs, and hurriedly said, "Weichen is here." ”
"You're so bold!"
Zhu Di slapped on the dragon chair, startling everyone.
"Wechen is as timid as a mouse, and he doesn't know what he has done."
Hu Ye knew that there was no escape, and among so many people, he was the smallest, so it was no wonder that he didn't push himself out to face the crime.
"Dare to quibble." Zhu Di roared.
"Your Majesty, this supervision of Taoist affairs in the world should be the business of the Heavenly Master, so Taoist affairs cannot blame the ministers. It is a matter for the criminal department to use this to collect money, and the so-called crime of negligence is not a crime for ministers. The emperor is a man of gold, and if he worries about this matter, it is the sins of the ministers. Hu Ye said loudly.
"You ......"
Seeing that Hu Ye had pushed the charges clean in two sentences, Zhu Di was speechless, and could only point his finger at Hu Ye's nose.
Zhang Fu secretly gave Hu Ye a thumbs up, it seemed that Hu Ye had already done his homework, and knew that he would be pushed out of the hall as a scapegoat today, so he had already prepared his speech.
"Are you saying it's a trivial matter for the real dragon to appear?" Zhu Di said coldly to Hu Ye, as an emperor, he naturally knew that there were no dragons in the world, if there were dragons, wouldn't he, the emperor, want to give way?
"Your Majesty, if the real dragon appears, it will naturally be a big deal, but if it is fake, bothering the emperor for this kind of thing, it will be a great crime for Weichen." Hu Ye said very strictly.
"You've been there?"
Zhu Di asked loudly.
"Emperor Qiqi, when Weichen heard about it, he had already gone to see it." Hu Ye replied truthfully.
"You're saying it's fake, huh?" Zhu Di asked.
"Your Majesty, it's hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood, so Wechen didn't dare to disturb the emperor, Wechen wanted to wait until he could distinguish the truth from the fake before reporting to the emperor." Hu Ye replied loudly, and instantly changed from a person who concealed and did not report to a person who thought about the emperor everywhere, even Zhu Neng had to admire Hu Ye, this sycophant kung fu, he couldn't learn it in his life.
"Hu Ye stays, and the rest of the people will get out of me!"
Zhu Di snorted coldly, and everyone cast a sympathetic look at Hu Ye, and then quickly left the palace, with no sympathy in his behavior.
"A bunch of white-eyed wolves."
Hu Ye cursed secretly, these old things usually cheat on food and drink, and they drop the chain at critical moments.
"Come with me."
Zhu Di stood up, said a word to Hu Ye, and then walked out.
"Gonggong Zheng, do you have any advice?" Hu Ye followed and asked Zheng San in a low voice.
Zheng San shook his head, although he often accompanies Zhu Di, but he is still a little confused about Zhu Di's temper, he was angry in the early years, but after meeting Hu Ye, he has restrained a lot. However, after ascending the throne, it seems that there is some trend in previous years.
Hu Ye cried with a sad face, it seemed that this wronged boss was decided.
"Marquis Fanchang, you go with the emperor."
After Zhu Di came to the Imperial Garden, Zheng San said to Hu Ye that he knew that the center of the Imperial Garden was a forbidden place, and no one could approach it without Zhu Di's permission, not even him.
"I'm tired." Hu Ye arched his hand and followed Zhu Di in.
It wasn't his first time here. I was brought here by Zhu Di last time, but I was given a task to find someone, and I don't know what trouble I will cause if I am brought here this time.
"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty."
Seeing that Zhu Di stopped, Hu Ye hurriedly said.
"Oh? Didn't you just say that you were not guilty? Why is it sinful again now? Coming to the original pavilion, Zhu Di turned around and said to Hu Ye.
"Weichen is not doing things effectively, and he also asks the emperor to surrender." Hu Ye said.
"Something was found."
Zhu Di asked casually.
"Your Majesty. Weichen just found out that Hua Rongying was not dead, but just disappeared, and disappeared with her. There is also a person named Chu Liang, and this Chu Liang is from Suzhou, so there is nothing else. Hu Ye muttered.
"What? Didn't you die? Are you running away from me? ”
When Zhu Di heard that Hua Rongying was not dead, his fists were clenched. "You continue to investigate this matter, and if there is any progress, notify me as soon as possible."
"Yes. Wechen obeyed. Hu Ye replied.
"Alright, you can go if it's okay." Zhu Di waved his hand so that Hu Ye could go.
"What...... What the? ”
Hu Ye thought that he had heard it wrong, and Zhu Di would let him go now? Didn't you call yourself here for the sake of some real dragon? Did he just ignore his son?
"What? Do you still have any doubts? Zhu Di saw that Hu Ye didn't leave, so he said casually.
"No, no doubts."
Hu Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead, Zhu Di didn't ask him if he was the best, what more mouths did he have, and left quickly. So Hu Ye didn't say a word, turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait." However, Hu Ye hadn't gone far before he heard Zhu Di stop him.
At this time, Hu Ye hated to shave his ears, why was he so cheap? When I can, I don't go, and I stupidly send it to the door by myself.
"I don't know what else is going on with the emperor?"
Hu Ye walked up with a smile and said to Zhu Di.
"When will you prove that the real dragon is fake?"
Zhu Di asked.
"The minister has already sent someone to Lingnan to investigate, if it is fast, it will be back in ten days, if it is slow, it will not be more than a month, and it should be able to do it before the eldest prince returns to Beijing." Hu Ye replied.
"Tomorrow, I will have someone send you a holy decree, and when you can distinguish the truth from the false, take the holy decree and copy it, and leave no one alive." Zhu Di said.
"Your Majesty ......" Hu Ye just wanted to say that he was not a person who loved to kill, so there were more than a dozen Taoist priests at ease, and killing them all would cause trouble, but before the words could be spoken, he was interrupted by Zhu Di.
"How can a true dragon be imprisoned by mortals? If you don't do it, I will let the tyrannical Zhao carry it out, and then it will be either a disaster of killing, or a raid on the family and extermination, and the disaster will affect the township. Zhu Di snorted coldly and forced back all the words Hu Ye had to say.
Hu Ye said that it is impossible for Zhu Di not to know about the matter, otherwise the secret guard will be raised in vain, it seems that this product still has the intention of using the Jinyi Guard, one bright and one dark, there is nothing he doesn't know in Nanjing City, and the reason why he only had a seizure today is to see if anyone jumped out to make a small report.
The result made him very satisfied, and he seemed to be doing his duty.
"Your Majesty, there is still something unknown about Weichen." Hu Ye said suddenly.
"Speak."
"Since the emperor has known about it for a long time, why didn't he stop it?" Hu Ye asked curiously.
"Taizong is the overlord, Gaozong is the king of peace, and Zhongzong is the ashamed army, born in sorrow and died in peace, not only for them, but also for us." Zhu Di said loudly. (To be continued......)
