What?! ”

Zhu Di almost didn't believe his ears and asked,

"Where is he? Yun Wei, where is he?! Show it to me! ”

"Your Highness, you come with your minions,"

Ning Sheng led him to the still smoking fire, and gestured,

"This is their remains."

"This ......"

Looking at the three bodies that were two large and one small because they were scorched and could not be distinguished, Zhu Di naturally couldn't believe it so easily, however, all the palace maids and eunuchs present agreed in unison that it was Emperor Jianwen's family of three, and Zhu Di had no choice but to acquiesce......

Zhu Yunwen's funeral was carried out under Zhu Di's instructions and with the gift of the Son of Heaven, although the doubts in his heart still made him uneasy, but he didn't have time to take care of it, because there was another funeral to be hosted by him personally, that is, Xu Zengshou's funeral.

Xu Zengshou's death was naturally the most painful thing for him, but after the funeral, Zhu Di's heart was filled with not only sadness, but also a large part of anger, because Xu Huizu, who was the eldest brother of Zengshou, did not even show his face from beginning to end, let alone come to mourn.

You can hate me, scold me, whatever you want, but Zengshou is your own brother, and you won't even do such a thing as sending him on his last journey-

Thinking of that person in his heart, Zhu Di's anger became bigger and bigger......

At this time, Xu Zengshou's family had already opened another mansion, and he did not live in the Wei Mansion, and his widow saw that the funeral was almost done, so she came to Zhu Di to give a salute and said,

"Your Highness, the concubine has something to ask for, I hope you can agree."

"Even if you have something to say, why be polite."

Zhu Di still said with a sad face.

The wife who has increased his longevity said,

"That's the case, Your Royal Highness probably also knows that the relationship between the deceased husband and the eldest brother has not been in contact since the stalemate three years ago, and the concubine wants to ask the eldest brother if he can allow his spiritual position to be placed in the ancestral hall of the Xu family."

"Leave this to me."

Zhu Di agreed without hesitation.

After appeasing Xu Zengshou's wife and children, Zhu Di didn't say a word, turned around and left, and Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu and others who came to worship on the side saw it and guessed where he was going, so they glanced at each other and followed closely behind him.

"Your Highness, are you going to the Duke of Wei's Mansion?"

Qiu Fu still couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Di walked in stride, and said a sullen "um", but after thinking about it, he looked at them again,

"What are you doing with me?"

"We ......"

After a little hesitation, Zhu Neng replied,

"Your Highness, if you go to see the Duke of Wei, you can't help but follow your subordinates."

"You ......"

Zhu Di stopped and glanced at these henchmen and generals, and said softly,

"Whatever you want."

Everyone is worried about themselves, Zhu Di naturally understands that in the three years of this "Battle of Jingjing", it can be said that Xu Huizu is their biggest obstacle, if it were not for the suspicion and distrust of Zhu Yunwen and those civil servants in the court, it is really hard to say whether he can enter the capital now. And Xu Huizu's hostility towards King Yan is obvious to all, and now that these two people are going to meet, these generals are of course not at ease.

Soon, he came to the Wei State Mansion, a place that was too familiar to Zhu Di, and the guards in front of the mansion knelt down when they saw him coming.

"I've seen His Royal Highness King Yan."

"Xu Huizu can be in the mansion?!"

Zhu Di asked coldly.

This is the first time that King Yan has heard Wei Guogong call him by his name, and the guards are so frightened that their voices tremble,

"Return, return to Your Highness, Grandpa Guo is in the ancestral hall of the former king......"

"The first king" refers to Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, Zhu Di, who knows everything about the house, naturally knows the location of the ancestral hall, so he doesn't need to be guided, and he came here with people.

When they arrived at the door of the ancestral hall, everyone couldn't help but be quiet, and they all automatically stood up in an orderly manner, because in the minds of every general, Xu Da's status was irreplaceable.

Of course, Zhu Di also had a solemn face, arranged his robe in front of the door, and gave a deep salute, and after all the generals followed behind him and saluted in unison, Zhu Di commanded,

"You are waiting here."

"Your Highness......"

Qiu Fu still cried out a little uneasily.

This time, Zhu Di didn't allow them to say more, so he repeated it categorically,

"You're all waiting outside, everyone!"

"Yes."

Among all of them, of course, Zheng He was also included, and everyone had to agree together.

The ancestral hall feels a little damp, and it is the height of summer in June, but it is cold inside. When Zhu Di walked in, he saw Xu Huizu kneeling on one side, as if thinking about something.

Step by step to the case enshrined in Xu Daling, Zhu Di knelt on his knees on the futon, kowtowed three times uprightly, and then lit three pillars of incense and knelt down in front of his father-in-law's spirit again.

"If Brother Hui wants to kill me, I have a knife here, and you can do it."

After a while, there was no response, Zhu Di turned his head and saw that the other party didn't even raise his eyelids, let alone look at himself.

Does he hate me so much-

Zhu Di couldn't help sighing, he was silent for a while, but he still couldn't hold back his words.

"I know, you hate me, in your eyes I am a rebel and a thief, disloyal and unfilial, I have nothing to argue with this, and I accept it all. But, no matter what, he is your own brother, you should know that he will do that, and you should have stopped him a long time ago, even if you didn't know beforehand, but at least you should have saved him, right? He's your closest relative, why don't you save him?! ”

"How can you let me save it?"

Xu Huizu, who thought he would remain silent all the time, actually spoke at this time, although his voice was so indifferent that he didn't have half a bit of emotion, but he still responded,

"Did you tie him up and lock him up in the house? He's an adult and has the power to do what he wants, so I haven't seen him for three years......"

"But, how can you watch him being killed by Yun Wei......"

Zhu Di's voice began to tremble, because of course he knew that the root cause of this tragedy was himself.

Xu Huizu finally raised his head and stared straight at his brother-in-law with a sharp gaze,

"What if you don't look at it? Did I take someone over and snatch him from the emperor when I learned that he had been captured? Or do you want to fight with the emperor with a sword and prevent him from being killed by the emperor? ”

"This ......"

Hearing that Xu Huizu's indifference was full of helplessness, Zhu Di, who had always been sharp-toothed, was speechless.

After staring at him for a while, Xu Huizu opened his mouth again,

"Do you think that when the emperor's sword is swung at him, he really can't dodge the longevity? Do you think that if he doesn't want to die, there really is no way? Do you think that in the chaotic situation at that time, he was not capable of escaping from the emperor? The reason why he didn't run away was because he wanted the whole world to know that as Xu Da's son, Xu Zengshou was willing to die for King Yan, that was his own choice, for you, he was willing to give his life, why should I stop him? ”

"Longevity ......"

Xu Huizu's every word was like a hammer hitting his heart, Zhu Di couldn't control himself anymore, and cried low on the futon.

After being quiet for a while, Xu Huizu stood up and came to his father's spiritual seat, stared at the handwriting on it, and said indifferently,

"If there is nothing else to do, Your Highness, please go back, it is enough for one of Xu Da's sons to be loyal to you, and my choice is to be loyal to the emperor, so you don't have to come to me again in the future, and I won't see you again." If you are not satisfied, you can kill me now, just like Zengshou chose to die for you, I, Xu Huizu, also chose to die for the emperor. ”

Listening to these words, as smart as Zhu Di, he immediately understood what he wanted to express, in this war, who wins and who loses, who is right and wrong is not clear, Xu Huizu This is after his younger brother supported King Yan without hesitation, he chose to support the emperor, so that at least no matter what the result is, the Xu family's bloodline will be preserved, and as Xu Da's eldest son, he can also leave a loyal impression in the hearts of the people of the world, in order to preserve the name of the Xu family......
