Chapter 273: The Situation Expands
East Palace.
Zhu Yunwen was a little panicked, and hurriedly found Qi Tai and said.
"Sir, please help me through this difficult time!"
Qi Tai didn't know exactly what was going on, so he hurriedly asked.
"Your Highness, what happened to be so flustered?"
Zhu Yunwen turned pale and told Qi Tai everything one by one.
When Qi Tai heard that Lu Ping was also involved in the Taicang incident, he knew that things were in trouble.
Lu Ping, as the uncle of the grandson, is so closely related to this case, I am afraid that the Lu family will also be involved, and Wang Bi may have been forced to death by the Lu family.
Countless thoughts flashed in Qi Tai's heart, and he said coldly.
"I'm afraid Your Highness still has to go directly to Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to be merciful in order to solve it!"
Zhu Yunwen hesitated, but shook his head and refused.
"Lone still plans to meet He Qiu first and ask him to postpone the audit! How can we say that we also have a half-teacher friendship! β
See He Qiu?
Qi Tai almost wanted to die laughing, why was Taisun so naΓ―ve?
Let's not mention that He Qiu is the son-in-law of King Yan, if you want to talk about the relationship, you must be closer to King Yan, and anyone can see Zhu Yunwen's targeting of King Yan during this time.
What's more, since this matter has already reached the inner library, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely not know about it, even if He Qiu is really willing to listen to Zhu Yunwen's persuasion, does he really dare not investigate?
He Qiu is in charge of Jinyiwei, this is the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, but because of the words of the grandson, He Qiu will not investigate, so what will Zhu Yuanzhang think of him? Can you still trust the news uploaded by Jinyiwei in the future?
Why did He Qiu put his net worth and life in the hands of his grandson, who had a bad relationship?
Qi Tai immediately persuaded.
"Your Highness, this matter was provoked by He Qiu, if you go to him, isn't that a self-defeating trap?"
In a hurry, Qi Tai didn't care if he slandered He Qiu, anyway, he buttoned his hat first.
"There will always be a solution to the matter, if His Highness is unwilling to ask His Majesty, we can discuss it and find another way."
Zhu Yunwen lowered his head and sighed.
"What else can be done? Lu Ping is Gu's uncle, he resold military rations for personal gain during his lifetime, in the eyes of others, how could he have a relationship with Gudu? β
"What's more, the death of Marquis Dingyuan, there are already many people who suspect that he was forced to die by Lone, and now the Queen Mother may also be involved, how can Lone explain it to others!"
Zhu Yunwen faintly cried, lamenting here, Qi Tai saw pity for him, and he couldn't imagine how things could deteriorate so quickly.
Originally, Zhu Yunwen's position as the grandson was already very stable, and he Qi Tai would be a scholar in the new emperor's dynasty.
But now this mess makes Qi Tai's heart very anxious.
If it was really because of this incident that Zhu Yunwen was disgusted by Zhu Yuanzhang and replaced by someone else to ascend the throne, would he still have a way out?
Qi Tai said in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, don't mess with yourself at this time, everything is safe, even if you are desperate to ask Your Majesty for guilt, you can't admit defeat."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid that the DPRK and China will really change the sky."
In Qi Tai's opinion, as long as Zhu Yunwen admits his mistake and has a good attitude, Zhu Yuanzhang should not do anything to him, in the final analysis, this matter has little to do with Zhu Yunwen himself, it is his maternal family that has a problem.
What's more, judging from his thoughts on Zhu Yuanzhang, he should not plan to change his savings again.
Qi Tai still has talent and intelligence, and his means are quite strong, otherwise he would not have been appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang.
It's just that Zhu Yunwen in history didn't listen to him much, and trusted Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru left by the prince Zhu Biao.
Therefore, Qi Tai could only watch Zhu Yunwen go to perdition step by step through a series of riotous operations.
Now, Fang Xiaoru is disgusted by Zhu Yuanzhang and stays in his hometown to teach, and there is no hope of getting ahead in this life.
Huang Zicheng felt guilty because of the death of the prince, and invited himself to be sent to the place, not in the East Palace, Zhu Yunwen was the only one by his side, and he was the only outstanding mastermind.
Seeing that Zhu Yunwen trusted him more than in history, Qi Tai felt that everything was not satisfactory.
Qi Tai already has some understanding of Zhu Yunwen's nature, which can not be described by just four words of meanness and unkindness.
The legacy left by the crown prince Zhu Biao has been quickly squandered by Zhu Yunwen, and the Lu family, as Zhu Yunwen's mother, always makes mistakes, which makes Qi Tai busy putting out fires everywhere.
At present, the matter of Taicang, if the Lu family is really deeply involved in it, then the grandson will really be finished.
Do you really want to let the grandson go and ask Your Majesty? But if this is the case, I'm afraid that the position of the prince of the grandson will not be kept!
Suddenly, Qi Tai thought of an idea and said to Zhu Yunwen seriously.
"Your Highness, you remember! This matter has nothing to do with your queen mother, it is Lu Pinghu who is pretending to be a tiger, pretending to be the crown princess, swaggering and deceiving outside, and joining forces with several eunuchs in the palace to resell military rations! β
"These eunuchs are greedy for money, Your Highness just threw out a few people casually, and just fooled the past, anyway, there have been many eunuchs in history who have misled the country, and they also have this motive."
"In this way, Your Majesty may reprimand His Highness, but he should not be easily moved."
Hearing Qi Tai's words, Zhu Yunwen's face slowly regained a bit of blood, and he asked rhetorically.
"Is that really going to be the case? Just eunuchs can calm the anger of the emperor's grandfather? Can you shut the mouths of the ministers? β
Qi Tai nodded affirmatively, and kept cheering Zhu Yunwen up.
"Your Highness, you must know that you are Your Majesty's grandson, and your Majesty is connected by blood, and Your Majesty will definitely not do anything to you."
"If Your Majesty really abolishes you, it will force you to death, for the sake of the former prince, Your Majesty will not easily change the reserve."
"What's more, Your Majesty is now old, and he won't toss easily, otherwise it will really arouse the careful thinking of the vassal kings everywhere, and it will be a big mess in the world."
Zhu Yunwen was thoughtful, what Qi Tai said seemed to be very reasonable, do you really want to do what he said?
"Okay, I'll listen to Mr., I'll go see the emperor's grandfather!"
Zhu Yunwen had the intention of becoming a benevolent person if he didn't succeed, and ran to see Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the throne, dealing with the twists and turns, and when he saw Zhu Yunwen coming, he said lightly.
"You're here, come and see, Jinyiwei reported that Ma Meiyin seems to be a little involved in the resale of military rations, at least deeply involved with the five grain stores that sell military rations."
Zhu Yunwen's heart immediately chuckled, Mei Yin is one of his strong supporters, and he has won Zhu Yuanzhang's trust, and now Jin Yiwei said that he is also involved in the resale of military rations, and the matter may not be so easy to solve.
Zhu Yunwen now also understands that the Lu family used the proceeds from the resale of military rations to weave a big net for him, and now it seems that Mei Yin is probably another key person in this net.
After all, Mei Yin's identity is special, he is quite powerful in Beijing, and he is a member of the clan, and his influence is very wide, if the Lu family finds him and helps him wave his flag, it is very possible.
But if Mei Yin fell into the hands of Jinyiwei, Zhu Yunwen didn't believe that Mei Yin would hide the truth for his mother, the Empress Lu, so that Qi Tai's strategy would not work.
