Kyoto City Gate.

Under the dark night sky, a huge team is speeding towards this direction.

The guards at the city gate were alarmed, and angry shouts rang out, "Kyoto, the city gate has been closed, retreat quickly!" ”

"The three princes are coming, quickly open the city gate!"

A loud voice replied.

That's right!

This group of people came in a hurry from Ezhou, led by Zhu Tai, and behind him, there were many businessmen such as Wen Xu.

"I've seen the Three Princes!"

The general of the city gate personally went down to the city to greet him, the dignified son, how dare he slack off.

Zhu Tai nodded, looking at the soldiers behind the city gate general, obviously feeling that something was wrong.

Although the capital of Kyoto is heavily guarded, if nothing major happens, it will be like that, after all, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who dares to make trouble.

It can be seen that the number of guards at the city gate at this moment is obviously a lot more than usual.

Immediately, he asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

The general of the city gate said: "Back to Your Highness, I don't know the specific general, Lord Dong instructed to guard the city gate strictly to prevent anyone from breaking through the city." ”

Hearing this, Wen Xu and the others' faces suddenly became extremely ugly.

This is to prepare for the arrest, in case the dog jumps off the wall.

If it's all ordinary people, forget it.

But this time is obviously different, among those big families who fled, there are many court executives, and some may be in important positions, and the court obviously has to be fully prepared for such a large-scale arrest.

Zhu Tai's face also changed slightly.

Really!

I was really said by the fourth!

"Third Highness, without further ado!"

The merchants were a little panicked and looked at Zhu Tai one after another.

Zhu Tai gritted his teeth and said, "Do what you plan, you go to find those big families, and this prince will go to see his father." ”

"Yes!"

The merchants hurriedly retreated.

Zhu Tai also quickly walked towards the direction of the palace, and on the way, from time to time, he could see a team of brightly armored soldiers hurrying by, it seemed that everything was almost ready, just waiting for an order.

Zhu Tai didn't dare to delay and left quickly.

The Imperial Study.

At this moment, the atmosphere was a little depressing, and the ministers were silent.

Zhu Tianzheng's face was neither happy nor sad, and he looked at everyone: "Let's tell me your opinions!" ”

Several people glanced at each other.

Jiang Huaishui, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, took the lead and said: "Your Majesty is wise, these people are heinous and heinous in vain, and they must be severely punished." ”

Zheng Qingwen, the head of the household department, also said: "The minister seconded the proposal, but when the country was in trouble, he only thought about taking care of himself, and he must be strict." ”

Several people are like mirrors in their hearts.

At this juncture, if you don't deal with these people, you can't solve the problem at all, not to mention that Your Majesty has already planned to ask them, and asking them is just symbolic.

Or, it's looking for someone to blame, in case something happens in the future......

Since Yan Zhenlin's resignation, no one has taken the initiative to take the blame.

Zhu Tianzheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and finally fell on Fan Renli's body, "Fan Aiqing, this case will be handed over to you, before tomorrow morning, I will know the result." ”

The corners of Fan Renli's mouth twitched, but he still said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Because he knows that this pot belongs to him.

The third prince competed with the second prince, Qin Zhengyang was condemned, and he could only carry this pot.

But at this moment, a soldier came in a hurry.

With a hint of displeasure on his face, Zhu Tianzheng asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The soldier hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, Lord Dong asked the humble official to come and tell you that the person from the Snow Yang Palace was blocking tonight's action. ”

Snow Yang Palace?

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, isn't that where the queen lives?

What is the one in the Snow Yang Palace? Empress? What is this called?

Everyone was inexplicable.

Don't talk about them, the soldiers who reported were also trembling, and Dong Qianjun, the commander of the forbidden army, asked him to report like this, and he didn't know why, he was really afraid that His Majesty would behead him in anger.

Fortunately, what I imagined did not happen.

Compared with everyone's doubts, Fan Renli is one of the few insiders who knows that what the other party is talking about is the Seventh Princess.

If it is the queen, the other party will directly say the queen, it is impossible to say that the one in the Snow Yang Palace, I am really not afraid of losing my head!

It's just, why did the other party stop tonight's action?

At the moment, I am afraid there is no better way than this way!

"How can it be!"

Zhu Tianzheng naturally understood, and his face suddenly sank, "What is Dong Qianjun doing to eat, can anyone come and stop it?" Let him arrest the culprit immediately. ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers were preparing to retreat.

At this time, another little eunuch hurriedly came, "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness asks to see you!" ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Zhu Tianzheng was stunned, but Fan Renli was also stunned, and blurted out: "Who are you talking about?" Three Highnesses? ”

The little eunuch hurriedly said: "Exactly! His Royal Highness is asking to see him outside the palace. ”

Fan Renli was completely confused, why did Zhu Tai come back in a good way? He didn't even know it.

Soon! Under the leadership of the eunuch, Zhu Tai came to the imperial study.

"The son has seen his father and the emperor, as well as all the adults."

Zhu Tai saluted respectfully.

Zhu Tian was expressionless, but his eyes were a little deep, and he asked, "Didn't you stay in Ezhou well, why did you come back suddenly?" And in the middle of the night, the third watch asked to see, couldn't it be that something happened in Ezhou? ”

Fan Renli was also a little worried, and suddenly came back in the middle of the night and didn't receive any news at all.

Fortunately, Zhu Tai looked quite calm, and he was also relieved.

"Back to my father, everything is fine in Ezhou, all projects have been fully resumed, and the people are grateful to my father for severely punishing corrupt officials and resuming the construction of the new city, and all the people praise ......"

Listening to these beautiful words, Zhu Tianzheng's face softened a lot.

I couldn't help asking, "Then why did you come back suddenly?" ”

Zhu Tai said: "Back to my father, my son heard that there was a problem with the exchange, so I made a special trip back to take a look, my father had issued an order to let my son strictly investigate all corruption in the Ministry of Commerce, and there was such a big thing in the exchange, and it was my son's responsibility to do so." ”

"Therefore, Erchen has come to ask for an order, hoping that his father will hand over the matter of the exchange to Erchen."

What?

Everyone was stunned, and their eyes looked at Zhu Tai in unison.

It is no wonder that the exchange is a big trouble, a big hole, outsiders can't avoid it, especially this juncture, this hole has been opened, and it can't be filled at all.

But Zhu Tai was good, and he took the initiative to ask for this matter.

Isn't this crazy?

The ministers all widened their eyes, and the corners of Fan Renli's mouth twitched, looking at his nephew incredibly, as if he knew him for the first time, and he subconsciously wanted to remind him, but his lips opened, and he didn't say anything when he got to his mouth.

He knows too well what kind of virtue his nephew has, and it is impossible to pick up such a big burden, and it is impossible to pick it.

And now that he has done so, he has come from Ezhou on purpose.

So much of it has to do with the Southwest.

The corners of Zhu Tianzheng's eyes also jumped, looked directly at Zhu Tai, and asked, "Are you sure?" ”
