188. Go to the Ministry of Punishment and stay
"This letter is indeed written to me, but this content only asks me how to crack the Japanese Kou, and there is nothing else to say, besides, this letter has not been received yet, and it was intercepted by Commander Ji."
Cheng Yuan looked at Ji Gang, you fucking Ji Gang intercepted me privately......
"Zhen Guogong, have you been involved in the fake good news?"
"Nope!"
Chen Ying: "Then why did I send you the letter?" ”
Ji Gang said: "You have an explanation. ”
"I'll just explain to Your Majesty."
Chen Ying said: "There is no evidence to show that Your Majesty has to take the Duke of Zhenguo into the palace for questioning." ”
Cheng Yuan smiled: "Do you need to hold it?" ”
Liu Yidao: "The national prince is not guilty, and there is no need to detain him." ”
After Ji Gang and Chen Ying went out, Liu Yi hurriedly said: "Guogong, your letter was seized by Commander Ji privately, and the matter is urgent, so it's too late to tell you." ”
"Thank you, I don't know about this, so why am I afraid." Cheng Yuan shook his head and followed the three of them towards the gate of the mansion.
"Where are you going, colt?" An Cheng stood at the door, looking like he was asking Cheng Yuan, but he was actually asking Chen Ying and Ji Gang.
Chen Ying immediately got out of the car and arched her hand: "I have seen His Royal Highness An Cheng, Your Majesty has something to ask the Duke of Zhenguo, and sent me to invite the Duke of Guo into the palace to inquire." ”
"What's the matter?" An Cheng said: "The horse was taken away, and the palace must know the reason." ”
Liu Yi bowed forward, "The slave has seen His Royal Highness, I didn't receive a letter to the Duke of Guo from Zhedong, and I suspect that the Duke of Zhenguo is suspected of concealing the false good news, so I ......"
"What is a fake good news? The palace and the horse Dragon Boat Festival are in the house these days, where do you know about the fake good news. ”
"Your Highness, the minister is also acting according to orders." Chen Ying said, "Please understand, Your Highness." ”
"Hongu understands." An Cheng then said: "This palace wants to enter the palace today to see the queen mother, can you enter the palace with a few adults." ”
Liu Yi said: "Naturally, princess, please." ”
Zhu Di was angry because of the false good news, and Ji Gang intercepted the letter from Zhedong asking for strategy, although Zhu Di did not take Chengyuan to prison, but the news spread like flying.
Xie Jin and they don't understand what kind of faction Zhenguo Gong is, and how it has anything to do with the fake good news in eastern Zhejiang.
Even Zhu Bai, who believed in Cheng Yuan very much, didn't know whether to enter the palace at this time.
………………
In the palace, Zhu Di is reviewing the recital, being an emperor is too much of a bad thing, it is better to be a prince and be at ease.
Cheng Yuan was brought by Liu Yi from the side hall.
"Minister, Cheng Yuan, I have seen Your Majesty."
As soon as Cheng Yuan saw Zhu Di, he immediately stepped forward, knelt on the ground and said, "Weichen Cheng Yuan, knock to see Your Majesty." ”
Zhu Di saw that Cheng Yuan was lying on the ground like that, and he didn't get angry, he "snapped" and put the music on the table not far away, and snorted heavily: "Cheng Yuan, since you know my temper, why do you still do this." ”
Zhu Di walked in front of Cheng Yuan in two or three steps: "I am not the former Yan King Zhu Di, I am now the emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
Do you know what the false good news will bring to the people, and it will delay the imperial court to send troops, don't tell me that you are not involved.
You are not involved, can Zhedong write to you and ask how to turn defeat into victory? The law of the country is ruthless, the crime of bullying the king, the only thing I can do after a strict investigation is to let your family be safe and worry-free. ”
Cheng Yuan did not defend himself, nor did he shout injustice, but deliberately kept silent, so that Zhu Di had a preconceived misunderstanding.
Zhu Di thought that Cheng Yuan wanted to see him, he must have wanted to justify and intercede, and he was very disappointed and sad for a while, his most beloved son and the most trusted prince of the country were ganged up to deceive him as a fool.
His grandmother's, who said that silence is golden, this is the end of the calf, pretending to be pitiful.
"Your Majesty, the minister asked to see Your Majesty today, not to cry out for injustice, but for other things."
"Didn't you ask me to pardon you?" Zhu Di was a little surprised, and asked hurriedly: "Then why did Qiu Fu and Gao Xu write to you, what does it mean to turn defeat into victory?" You dare say you don't know anything about it. ”
Cheng Yuan said: "Your Majesty, the ministers ......"
Zhu Di glanced at the palace maids in the hall, and then said, "Say it." ”
"The minister has always kept in mind His Majesty's words and will not let the crown prince and the king of Han be in danger. But he won't wade into troubled waters, and he did.
The minister didn't know about the fake good news, and he didn't know why the king of Han would write to ask the minister.
But the minister felt that even if he asked, it didn't mean that the minister knew about the fake good news.
His Majesty also knew that the minister was too busy to take care of the locust plague in Shandong, and the minister did not dare to get too close to the King of Han. ”
"Why?"
"The king of Han treats his ministers very well, he always goes to the palace to find ministers, he likes to run around, and the ministers are afraid that the king of Han will find out the secret of Jianwen, so he has always kept a distance from everyone in the court.
I'm afraid that they will find out the secret, so how could the minister run to join the matter of Zhedong.
The minister also hid it from His Royal Highness, causing her to think that the minister had hidden a woman in the study, and the minister was even more frightened, there was still a matter of white lotus in the house, where would he be so thoughtful to deceive His Majesty. ”
Zhu Di had eyes, he really noticed that Cheng Yuan and the minister rarely fought hotly, and they were not far away. He understands Jianwen's affairs, and it is always inconvenient for time to go by.
But it can't be known to more people.
Zhu Di said: "Don't worry, when Gao Xu comes back, the two of you will confront each other, but you have to go to the Criminal Department for a few days first."
When the time comes, if it is true, I will forgive you from sin. ”
"Minister, obey the order."
………………
When Zhu Di heard Zhu Gaochi, Xianning, and An Chengyuan pleading, he was angry, and waved directly to a few children: "Okay, public is public, private is private, do you understand."
His credit, I have already used the first duke to pay him back, if he participated in the anti-Japanese war in eastern Zhejiang, deceived me, I can't spare him, the crime of bullying the king. ”
An Cheng said: "Father, the son has never begged his father for anything, no matter what the result is, please ask my father to forgive the horse." ”
Zhu Gaochi said: "Father, the matter of the false good news, the son also learned about it from it, but it is certain that it has nothing to do with the Duke of Zhenguo." ”
"All down! Independent? How could the letter reach him? How to explain. ”
Zhu Di pointed at Ji Gang and said: "Immediately, give a few more wills and let Zhu Gaoxu return to Beijing to confront him."
ordered Qiu Fu to fight against the Japanese in eastern Zhejiang, if he was spreading false good news, the new account and the old account would be counted together. ”
Zhu Di hates people for deceiving him, but he will not easily cure Chengyuan's crimes.
He is not a man who will take revenge, but he must also convince others.
"You all go down." Zhu Di ordered.
………………
Kunning Palace.
Zhu Gaochi brought his two younger sisters over to greet Queen Xu.
Queen Xu said: "The sun has come out of the west today, why did the three of you come together." ”
"The queen mother, the sons are for the affairs of the prince of the town."
Empress Xu said solemnly: "An Cheng, Xianning, you are also here, the queen mother is not afraid of offending you, if Cheng Yuan really deceived your father and the emperor and collaborated with Gao Xu to spread the false good news, the queen mother advises you not to intercede." ”
"An Cheng, you should take good care of the child in your womb.
And you Gao Chi, everything is not clear at this time, you are begging for mercy in vain, I am afraid that even you will be implicated.
If Cheng Yuan confirms the matter of Gao Xu's false good news, what else can the queen mother say. ”
Zhu Gaochi said: "Queen Mother, how can Cheng Yuan be wronged with just one letter, the son is worried that his father is angry and will do impulsive things."
The sons and mothers have both received his favors, how can the sons and daughters stand by and watch, and the queen mother must sit idly by, so what should An Cheng do. ”
Empress Xu said: "A few of you, but this kind of thing is not allowed to interfere in politics, and you can't talk about it with your father."
Gao Xu is also the son of the queen mother, how could the queen mother not save him, it is really that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the queen mother can't embarrass your father, and she can only wronged you children. ”
