Chapter 400: The Third Prince Zhu

It stabilized the hearts of the people, and in addition to strengthening the protection, it was naturally sent to search Ding Si. Three hours later, the sky gradually darkened, and the rays of light in the sky shone brightly, illuminating the glazed tiles on the temporary palace where Zhu Jun lived, and the entire courtyard was hazy with a faint golden yellow. Gan Hui, who was standing at the door, stood in front of the hall with no movement, and the rays of light shone brightly on his bronze face.

It was time for dinner, but Liu Guoxuan came, and his military boots stomped on the long bricks. Gan Hui recognized Liu Guoxuan. In the Zheng Navy, Liu Guoxuan was still a humble general under Gan Hui. Liu Guoxuan approached Gan Hui and met Gan Hui. Gan Hui nodded, turned around and returned to the hall, and reported to Zhu Jun.

"The last general meets the emperor, the emperor, and several assassins have caught him. The last general avoids suspicion and asks the emperor to interrogate himself." Liu Guoxuan saluted Zhu Jun, with a strange glory on his face. Although the emperor trusted him, he did not suspect that he was the mastermind behind the scenes, but being able to capture the murderer and keep himself innocent is the biggest stone in Liu Guoxuan's heart. Now he really has his eyes. If Liu Guoxuan said that he was not excited, it would be fake.

Zhu Jun just got up from his nap, and today he was thrilling. A shell exploded within 100 meters of his own. Fortunately, the artillery is not sharp now. Except for some new yellow gunpowder cannons hidden privately by the Ming Dynasty, the popular artillery now only stuffs a certain amount of gunpowder into the muzzle, plus an iron ball and some steel nails. Their power is not enough to damage targets thirty meters away.

Zhu Jun took a sip of tea and rinsed his mouth, raised his hand and said, "Bring it in."

In a moment, four or five young men covered in bruises were brought in. They were powerlessly pinched the back of their necks by Mingbing behind them, forcing them to kneel down. Zhu Jun observed the young men with a solemn look on their faces. Seeing that their faces were still childish and had an unyielding expression on their faces, Zhu Jun, who was originally planning to find out the mastermind, suddenly sank. Needless to say, these people are naturally cannon fodder-level figures. Even if they have to ask, they can't ask anything. How could the mastermind easily surface with such a careful plan?

"Who are you? Who is instructed by anyone? How dare you assassinate my emperor?" The head of Zhu Jun was the Minister of Justice who had just been summoned. Of course, the Emperor could not ask questions in person. The Minister of Justice was already familiar with it.

Four young men who were beaten and covered in bruises lowered their heads and did not speak.

This made the Minister of Justice look bad on his face. After all, he was the first time to try the case in front of his leader. Unexpectedly, the murderer ignored him and would not have the chance to be promoted in the future. The Minister of Justice became angry and whispered: "Bold, why don't you speak?"

If this were in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, if Zhu Jun hadn't been by his side, the Minister of the Assistant would have dragged these people down and beat the board.

A young man raised his head and spitted on the ground in a mouthful of water. He glared at the minister.

Zhu Jun had already understood the result of the trial. He waved his hand and said, "Take it down. Ask it carefully."

Waiting for the soldiers to take the criminals away, the minister was already blushing and apologizing. This time, the old face was a big loss. The minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the second-in-command of the system of criminal law in the Ming Dynasty, tried the case for the first time in front of the emperor. Even a fart was not found. What's more, this was a big case of the world. The biggest leader of the Ming Dynasty sat on the top and listened to the case. Isn't this seriously affecting the career of the officialdom?

Zhu Jun shook his head: "It's not your business." Zhu Jun curled his lips: "Go.~ beat them. After it gets dark, relax your guard and let someone out."

"Let me go?" The minister murmured first, then his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "My emperor is wise. I will make arrangements now."

This is the last chance to show in front of the leader. If you don’t grasp it, even if the emperor blames it, the minister of the minister will have no shame to stay in the central circle. In the Ming Dynasty, where the reputation is higher than life, you can’t afford to lose this person.

The Minister of the Inspector cheered up and said goodbye.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Qiongzhou Port is connected with Qiongzhou Prefecture in the northern part of Qiongzhou. Since its restoration, due to the Ming Dynasty's opening-up policy, the number of merchant ships traveled and moved to and from time to time, the small city of original prosperity suddenly became prosperous. The newly built merchant ports and merchant ships also attracted the people of Qiongzhou Prefecture to settle down. In just two years, the entire Qiongzhou Prefecture was expanded several times.

This place is tropical, so the houses are still built with cement. The wealthy families are reluctant to abandon the old customs, so they set up stilt bamboo sheds in the courtyard for summer to cool off.

A large mansion located on Mingyuan Avenue occupies several acres of land. The silence of the house is very pleasant. In the middle of the courtyard is a front hall. Five or six figures in the hall are sitting in different guest rooms. A middle-aged man is wearing a yellow robe and a jade belt on the top. He looks extremely handsome. He has a small strand of short beard under his jaw and a smile on the corner of his mouth, making people unable to see through his joys and anger.

The few on both sides were wearing short shirts and breeches

The middle-aged man with a jade belt tied his hand on a few knives and kept slapping his knuckles. At this time, a loud footsteps came from outside the door. A staggering young man broke in and saw the young man in the upper head knelt down, raised his face, covered in blood and tears: "The third prince, brothers discovered it, Wang Liu and the others were unknown, and only the villain escaped in the chaos."

The third prince nodded, as if he had already expected the ending: "Is Yongli dead?"

"The villain didn't know. After the cannons were fired, the brothers immediately evacuated. They only saw the crowds of people on the long street. Then Ming soldiers rushed towards our mountain. The villain and Wang Er and others hurried down the mountain and just happened to bump into Ming soldiers at the foot of the mountain..."

"Okay, you go down and rest." The third prince waved his hand, and he was full of momentum when he raised his hand.

After the man stepped down, the men on the throne chairs on both sides had already started to discuss, and a bearded man stood up: "His Royal Highness, have you sent some brothers out to explore the wind?"

The third prince shook his head: "No, Yongli is alive or dead, how can he easily spy on it? Even if Yongli is really dead, I am afraid that those close ministers will hide the news in case of an accident.



The man seemed a little impatient: "Now some of us have fallen into their hands. If we cannot confirm whether Yongli is really dead, how should our plan be realized?"

The third prince said, "I can't stay here anymore. If a few people confessed to us, the Ming army would arrive day and night and surrounded the yard in one hour. Find a place to stay first, Mr. Li, what do you think?"

Mr. Li, who was sitting on the right side of the third prince, suddenly stood up, pondered for a moment, and said, "No, the Ming army may have blocked the four gates, and the streets are covered with soldiers and patrols. Check the people at any time. If we go out now, the danger is too great."

Everyone in the room looked at Mr. Li. Mr. Li was obviously very prestige. He slowly walked in the hall with his hands behind his back and said leisurely: "No, there are many capable people around Yongli. This time, he brought officials from the Ministry of Justice to come with him. Some of us fell into their hands. If they found clues, they would probably suffer. It doesn't matter if we die. However, His Highness the Third Crown Prince is the bloodline of the late emperor. Since the Jiashen Incident, the thief has captured Beijing and the late emperor died.

After that, in order to hide his identity for fifteen years, the prince traveled around the country: he worked hard to restore the Ming Dynasty. Now Zhu Youlang claims to be the new generation and succeeded the throne with the branch of the King of Gui. His Highness finally set up this time to replace it. As long as Zhu Youlang dies, his son Zhu Ciyan is still young and the descendants of the Zhu family have died. Once the third prince surfaces, he will have the opportunity to follow the world created by Zhu Youlang, and then he will lead the Northern Expedition..."

Mr. Li continued with a pleasant look: "So, Your Highness the Crown Prince must not be in danger. If you want to die, we will die."

Everyone in the hall nodded, but Prince Zhu San frowned: "I am not the kind of person who is greedy for life and fears death, and I cannot let you die for me."

Mr. Li said: "Whether the Ming army can find out that we are still an abnormality, and even if we find out, not all brothers will die. No matter what, the third prince must ensure that there is no danger." Mr. Li's eyes certainly fell on Prince Zhu's third prince: "Li has already made a plan to escape from the shell, and it is also to prevent it."

"What does Mr. Li say, how do we do it?" The bearded man stood up with his fists waving his fists.

"Yes, the safety of His Highness the Crown Prince is important."

Prince Zhu San looked at the tribes on both sides silently, and looked at the faces of each tribe quietly. Mr. Li had already made a remark to Prince Zhu San: "Everything here is arranged by Mr. Li. Please go to the courtyard of the Houyuan first."

Prince Zhu pretended to hesitate for a while, then stood up and hugged everyone, and returned to the backyard under the protection of several black-clothed escorts.

Mr. Li watched Prince Zhu leave, and looked at the strong men in the hall with a burning look: "Lord Wang, Lord Zhao, you go to the back hall, Lord Li and his brothers lurk in the east courtyard. If something is wrong, set the fire immediately. There are still a few people lurking outside, ready to set the fire at any time. Master Yang Xiang is a local, and he will be guarding the front door. If someone answers the door, what time can he delay it."

Several strong men stood up together and bowed to Mr. Li supremely.

Mr. Li nodded, with a look of Xiao Ran on his face: "Everyone should act according to their own orders."

Prince Zhu San appeared. It was a book friend who gave his brother an opinion. Many people helped his brother find information. They worked tirelessly. I was very moved. I had too many words of thanks, so I won’t say much nonsense.
