Chapter 111: Liquidation

An imperial trial came and went quickly, but no one expected the final result.

The ministers dispersed one after another, and King Ning Zhu Quan was in a daze. He still didn't understand why his emperor brother changed his face and turned the book faster than he could read? He no longer had the intention to ask the truth, but there was one thing he could confirm that he was in trouble.

Zhu Di had already left, and the officials also dispersed. But what they left for them were countless topics talked about and countless careful speculations.

The holy heart is unpredictable, and being with the king is like a tiger. This is a topic that has always been popular. Now, everyone has seen the cruelest side of Zhu Di. Even if you think about it afterwards, it makes people feel silent.

The ministers crossed the Jinshui Bridge in a mighty manner. Although they were in groups of three or three, no one whispered and full of thoughts. Many people had a premonition that what happened in the palace might just be the beginning. Once Your Majesty tear off the mask of hypocrisy, only geniuses will know what will happen next.

As for Hao Fenglou, it is even more puzzling. Why does this guy make His Majesty and King Ning turn against each other?

All kinds of questions surround my heart, like haze, oppressing everyone's hearts.

An eunuch rushed over and said loudly: "Mr. Xie Jin, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi, Hu Guang, Hu Yan, Jin Youzi, Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Fang Wenjing, the commander of the Five City Military and Ma Si, Shenji Camp... The Jinyiwei's 100 households in the Donghuamen, Hao Fenglou, stayed to see the emperor."

Except for Hao Fenglou, the eunuchs all pointed to, all civil and military officials who were not of high rank in the Yongle Dynasty but were closest to the center. However, there were also military officers in the Five Cities and some military officers, which was a bit thought-provoking. Those who did not find the name naturally did not dare to stay and left the palace obediently. The officials who found the name all left the team and followed the eunuchs to go back to the depths of the palace.

Everyone arrived at the warm room. Zhu Di in the warm room had already changed into clothes, but the Tongtianguan had not been removed. He leaned on the desk, holding a pen in his hand, and was writing something. When everyone came in, he just stretched out his hand and pointed it out. Everyone knew that His Majesty had something to do, so no one saluted, but stood silently and waited.

Time passed a little slowly, and Hao Fenglou seemed a little ahead of the crowd. It was obvious that he appeared here as a bit abruptly, but looking at this, the emperor seemed to have to make a very important decision.

Of course he knew that his victory was not without a price. His Majesty and King Ning had already turned against each other in person. The result of the turn against each other was that everyone would fall to the ground. If I don’t kill Boren, Boren would die for him. This made Hao Fenglou cruelly realize how cruel the environment he was in was. It seemed that there was no smoke of gunpowder, but people would bleed at all times.

Zhu Di suddenly raised his eyes, obviously his anger had faded, and he said with a smile: "Let everyone come here to discuss something." He tapped the desk with his fingers, squinted and said: "There is a urgent comment here, everyone can take a look."

A eunuch handed over a quick message to Jie Jin first, and then Xie Jin circulated it one by one.

Everyone who had seen the rushing sound immediately showed a sudden look of enlightenment. When it was passed on to Hao Fenglou, Hao Fenglou actually didn't have to read it, so he knew what the rushing sounded, but he pretended to look at it for a while before handing it to the next person.

Zhu Di's tone gradually became colder: "I want to hear your thoughts."

Xie Jin had already realized that something was wrong. Although he did not get too close to King Ning, he had a very similar position to King Ning during this imperial trial. This was a very dangerous signal. Xie Jin said without hesitation: "King Ning is brave and shameful to Your Majesty. I think that I should issue an order immediately to capture King Ning and depose him as a commoner."

Zhu Di looked at Jie Jin indifferently and showed a little disappointment at Jie Jin.

Xie Jin's attitude was not about solving the problem at all, but rather, it seemed like he was expressing his attitude and making a distinction with King Ning.

Sure enough, Yang Shiqi said: "Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate. Your Majesty treats the royal family well. Everyone knows that King Ning has a big mistake, but he deposed himself as a commoner and directly arrested him. This will inevitably cause uneasiness. I think that King Ning is a tiger, but the tiger does not need to be killed. It is enough to just pull out his teeth."

Xie Jin smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't know that Yang Shiqi was the best way, but with his current situation, he could only be so "reckless".

Zhu Dihe nodded and said lightly: "How to extract the teeth?"

Yang Shiqi said lightly: "Your Majesty... should be used slowly..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Di smiled, with contempt. He stood up and looked at Yang Shiqi: "Slowly plan it? Well, this method is indeed safe, but I don't like it, I just don't like it. I don't want that little fame, brothers are harmonious, and treat the royal family well. I don't like it. Did I care about this little fame when Emperor Taizu was there? I didn't kill King Ning because I was still caring about my family and relatives. What I want to decide is the foundation that will never be achieved in the ages. Emperor Taizong of Tang could kill his brother, but I didn't do this. It was not that I was greedy for anything, but that I was thinking about this last trace of old feelings. You literati are good at calculating, but some of the accounts are not clear."

He said confidently: "Ji Gang."

Ji Gang hurriedly said: "I am here."

Zhu Di said: "Jiang Cheng, the young minister of the Honglu Temple, Zhu Rong, the commander of the Ning Wangwei, and the chief minister and subordinate officials of the Ning Wang, go now and get the imperial prison immediately, and do not make any mistakes." He glanced at Ji Gang deeply and added: "Don't let any of them go out alive. I don't want confessions, I don't want them to slander King Ning for any rebellion. I don't want anything. I just want them to die."

Ji Gang fought a cold war. Jiang Cheng, the young minister of the Honglu Temple, was originally the former chief of King Ning, but later summoned him to the court to apply for it. Such an order was equivalent to being taken over. He hurriedly said, "I will do it now, and I will leave."

Zhu Di's face was full of murderous intent and continued, "Xie Jin is preparing to draft an imperial edict. Prince Ning ordered King Gao to follow his son Zhu Panye to King Linchuan, and his third son Zhu Panye was King Yichun. After the New Year, he immediately took the vassal, abolished the guards of King Ning, and changed the three guards to one guard. Tell him that if he is dissatisfied, he will come to me."

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he waved his hand: "Everything goes down, Hao Fenglou, you stay."

After Zhu Di finished his order, everyone dispersed and only one person was left.

Hao Fenglou could see that although Zhu Di's face had eased a lot, his anger had not subsided, but he didn't know what was his intention to leave behind. However, now, he finally saw the other face of this emperor. If such a person did not become an emperor, he would be suffocated to death. Such a domineering person would be insulted to be an emperor. It would be unreasonable not to be an emperor.

Zhu Di seemed a little tired and sat on the chair. After everyone left, he glanced at Hao Fenglou and said, "I have something to do, you can follow." After that, he glanced at the eunuch beside him: "Crown Prince, hasn't Han and Zhao come yet?"

The eunuch beside him bowed and said, "It's coming soon, please wait for your Majesty."

Zhu Di sighed and said, "Hao Fenglou, thank you for your hard work this time. How about you, you have suffered a lot? I have forgiven you for your prince Ning, but you must also remember that you must think twice before doing anything in the future. Of course..." He paused and said, "I said to think twice before doing it, but don't be afraid. There are not so many scary things in this world. A real man cannot do without courage in the world. What I like is your courage. For nothing. How can you young people be patient to listen to my words? It's useless to say it."

He seemed a little bit frivolous, squinting his eyes and looking like he was dozing off.

It won't take long before the crown prince, Han King, and Zhao King came.

The prince didn't expect Hao Fenglou to be here. After staying for a while, his face returned to normal. He stepped forward and bowed to Zhu Di: "My son has met his father."

However, King of Han Zhu Gaoxu and King of Zhao Zhu Gaosui were quite happy to see Hao Fenglou. Zhu Gaoxu also squeezed his eyes at Hao Fenglou, then looked like a filial son and grandson, and asked Zhu Di for peace.

Zhu Di raised his hand and said, "It's rare that you three brothers are here, so don't be too polite. I want to do something, you can follow me."

No one dared to make a sound.

Zhu Di set off, and everyone followed Zhu Di out of the warm pavilion. There were already eunuchs outside prepared horses, all five, all of which were quite majestic. Zhu Di did not have any rules in the palace that he was not allowed to ride horses, so he took the lead in turning on the horse. The prince also wanted to get on the horse, but unfortunately he was bloated and the horse seemed to refuse. He snorted and shook his front hooves, which scared the prince Zhu Gaochi backed down repeatedly.

When King Zhao Zhu Gaosui saw it, he couldn't help but sneer. King Han Zhu Gaoxu almost laughed out loud. However, Hao Fenglou poked Zhu Gaoxu and whispered: "The prince is his brother, and his prince should help the prince get on the horse."

The voice was very low, and Zhu Gaoxu seemed to realize something, so he quickly put away the ridicule on the corner of his mouth, and stepped forward to support the prince Zhu Gaochi in two steps.

Zhu Gaochi's face turned pale and he quietly went to see Zhu Di's face. Unfortunately, after getting on the horse, Zhu Di had already forgotten it and rushed towards Xihuamen. Zhu Gaochi then breathed a sigh of relief. After getting on the horse, he did not dare to ride fast and followed him slowly.

The rest of the people got on the horse and followed Zhu Di away.

Zhu Di suddenly rode out of the palace, and did not carry a escort, but only brought three princes and Hao Fenglou, which made people confused. I wonder what the emperor sold in the gourd. However, such an emperor is rare in the world.
