The closer Hao Fenglou is to this real emperor, the more familiar he is to Zhu Di's nature...

It is precisely because of this that Hao Fenglou took the risk and made this inference.

Hao Fenglou also knew very well how much resentful the eunuchs who were alienated by Jianwen in the palace were to Jianwen. Many of these people acted as Zhu Di's eyes and ears.

Based on these two points, Hao Fenglou took great risks to confirm a headless case.

Is Zhu Yunwen really still alive?

It is absolutely impossible. Although the banner of Jingnan is to clear the king's side, its real intention is to replace it, and it is to usurp the throne. The banner of Jingnan is the bloody fact that uncles and nephews are killed.

In other words, if Zhu Di cannot enter Jinling, he will definitely die without a burial place. However, once he enters Beijing, he has no choice but to be the emperor.

On the one hand, it was due to Zhu Di's ambition. On the other hand, if Zhu Di still gave up his subordinates, would Emperor Jianwen be willing to let Zhu Di go? A Wang uncle said that he would be calm and that he would be able to lead his troops into the capital. He would be able to kill your ministers for a long time. If Jianwen continued to be the emperor, his only way was to deliberately kill his uncle Wang.

So Zhu Di had no choice. He could not be Duke Zhou, he could only be Wang Mang.

To be Wang Mang, Zhu Yunwen cannot be allowed to live, but another crucial problem arose again. Zhu Di is Zhu Yunwen's uncle and Zhu Yunwen is Zhu Di's monarch. From the perspective of bloodline, Zhu Di cannot kill Zhu Yunwen, and from the perspective of the relationship between the monarch and the ministers, Zhu Di cannot attack Zhu Yunwen.

If this is the case, it will be a devil for thousands of years. Then the so-called Jingnan will lose its legitimacy, and after a thousand years, Zhu Di will always be nailed to the pillar of shame. As long as Confucianism does not perish, as long as the principle of the ruler, the ministers and the ministers remains, Zhu Di will only be despised by thousands of people.

If Zhu Di wants to do great things, he must be a sage and wise ruler in civil and military affairs. He must develop a foundation for all generations and create great achievements for thousands of years. He must never bear this infamy. Therefore, Zhu Yunwen cannot die at the hands of Zhu Di.

When Zhu Di entered the palace, Zhu Yunwen could never live or die. If he died, he would be unable to explain it clearly. The palace where you led your troops into. The emperor was killed, and you had a thousand mouths and said that it had nothing to do with you. Does anyone believe it?

So Zhu Yunwen must die, but he must also live.

Hao Fenglou is almost certain that before entering the palace, there was a chaos in the palace. Those Zhu Di's gangsters who were hiding in the palace would definitely go to find Jianwen as soon as possible. Zhu Yunwen wanted to escape. Where could he escape? The secret passage in the palace? This is a joke. There were no secret passages in the Forbidden City in Nanjing. There were tens of thousands of rebels outside, but inside, there were countless Yan King's gangsters who were eager to make contributions. Some, who were still in the right direction, were eager to use Zhu Yunwen as a stepping stone. What could Zhu Yunwen escape?

He had nowhere to escape, and the only explanation was that he was killed. After the killing, a fire would annihilate all the evidence. The next thing he had to do was to create the illusion of Zhu Yunwen's escape, because Zhu Yunwen could not die, could not die in the palace, and even at this point in time. If he died here, he would not understand it. Even if Zhu Di jumped into the Yellow River, he could not wash away the name of the king. Even if he covered it up, he could not cover the lid.

So, Zhu Yunwen "escaped". In order to prove that he did escape, he not only wanted to deceive others, but also "little himself". So Zhu Di "secretly" sent someone to search for Jianwen's traces, so he went to the West and searched for rumors about Jianwen everywhere. Therefore, any slight news about Zhu Yunwen would be nervous in the palace.

All of this is a shameful look before and after people, but in fact, it is for people to see it. It is to tell the world that Jianwen is still alive. As long as he is alive, today, he is just a person who is in charge of Taizu's will. When the court gave birth to treacherous ministers, Fengtian Jingshen was in trouble and tried to support the world. However, because Jianwen disappeared, he had to ascend the throne as emperor under the severity of his ministers to persuade him.

Hao Fenglou believed deeply that this was the answer. He raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Di with a gloomy face. He had already tried his best and said, "So, since I think Jianwen is dead, then Zhu Yunwen must be a fake. Of course, Your Majesty also knew that this person was an impersonator. The reason why he "misconceived" him was because he had trouble saying that he knew that the other party was fake, but for a moment, he could not find enough convincing evidence to expose his identity. If he rashly exposed him, then the many previous concealments would be wasted. So before there was no ironclad evidence, Your Majesty knew that he was an impersonator, but he still had to pinch his nose and recognize him. I wonder if what I said was right or wrong?"

Zhu Di's eyes never left Hao Fenglou, his face flashed and dark, as if he was thinking about something. Finally, he nodded: "Yes, I knew he was pretending to be an impersonator, but although this person was an impersonator, there was no flaw. I could only make the mistake..."

Speaking of which, this is indeed ridiculous. If it weren't for Hao Fenglou, as long as Zhu Di could not find a convincing flaw, he would have to pinch the "Emperor's nephew" and accept it. Even if Zhu Di was angry, no matter how unhappy he was, he would have to swallow his breath.

Because he is no longer the King of Yan with the golden swords and iron horses, but the Emperor.

What Hao Fenglou helped him solve was not the true or false issue of Zhu Yunwen, but the true face of "Zhu Yunwen" was exposed in front of everyone. This alone is a great achievement.

But for Hao Fenglou, he would rather never expose this. If he had not wanted to destroy Ji Gang, Hao Fenglou would never do this. However, to destroy Ji Gang, he had to start with Zhu Yunwen. If he wanted to expose Zhu Yunwen, he would inevitably encounter a fatal problem.

The question is, what is your reason? Hao Fenglou has many reasons. Even when the emperor asked, Hao Fenglou could still choose a reason to be able to fool him.

But Hao Fenglou also knew very well that when today's Zi is definitely not a simple person, you can deceive him for a while, but you can't deceive him for a lifetime. When he knew that he had learned the truth but was clever and vaguely quibbling, what would the emperor think?

You know this huge secret, but you are still pretending to be confused. Do you treat me as a fool?

Therefore, Hao Fenglou decided to tell the truth. There will be risks in telling the truth, but at least it showed his honesty and loyalty.

In fact, ability may not be important between the king and the minister, and cleverness may not be important. The most important thing is loyalty.

This is the Ming Dynasty. In the mind of a modern person, what a bullshit emperor, why should I be loyal to you? But only in this era can Hao Fenglou understand that the so-called "the land of the world is the king, and the land of the king is the king's minister is not a joke. I want to gain a foothold in this world, to settle down, to gain glory, wealth, and loyalty to the king are never avoided.

Hao Fenglou told the truth, and now he had made it clear. Hao Fenglou said at the end: "I am dead and I will never mention the old things in Jingnan. However, I think that if there were no Jingnan, there would be no merit today. Without Your Majesty, I am afraid that I will still be in vain at the moment. Since there are some things that I have to be mentioned, I will never dare to deceive. The only thing I know is this, I beg Your Majesty to sage the holy dictator."

Hao Fenglou's words have two meanings. The first is that Your Majesty doesn't have to worry. I will never say this. After all, I am a hero of Jingnan. It was through Jingnan that I could have today. Therefore, my own interests are tied to the emperor. I also opposed Jianwen back then and looked forward to Jianwen being killed.

As for the second meaning, I am very honest. I know that there are many taboos in this matter, but as a minister, I dare not ignore it.

The first means to show your position, and the second means to show your loyalty.

Zhu Di looked at Hao Fenglou tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

The palace fell into silence again.

Terrible silence.

Zhao Zhong, who was standing beside him, kept smiling and also looked at Hao Fenglou.

Finally... Zhu Di sighed quietly and said, "You are not guilty. Not only are you innocent, but you have made merits. How can you even die? If it weren't for you to reveal the fact that the evil thief was crowned by the monkey, I'm afraid I'll entrust a wise man to become a clan prince. Not only that, Ji Gang's crimes are extremely evil. I used to be ambitious.

It is his talent. As long as he can feed him, he can do things for me well. But I was wrong, I was wrong. Many of my old brothers still know how to restrain themselves, but what about some? Some people encouraged the King of Han and instigated the prince for their own selfish interests, so that the power between me and their father and son is the same. This... it is not the fault of the King of Han and the Prince of Han, but my fault. Now I think about it, and finally understand that the fault of the King of Han is not others, but me!"

Zhu Di seemed to have grown old all of a sudden, saying word by word: "I have established the crown prince, but I am so determined. Why? That is because I am afraid of the crown prince, my son will be supported by too many people. Sooner or later, I will threaten me. I have to make plans for a hundred years, but I have to make plans for now. Now I will never allow the crown prince to be worshipped by others, but a hundred years later, he will succeed the throne. Therefore, I used the King of Han to use my son to threaten my other son, making him frightened, like walking on thin ice, and let him live in worries every day, and have no time to take care of him, just be his crown prince, and serve me wholeheartedly. As for the King of Han, I have given him hope again and again and again, and those followers' hopes. In fact, this is all due to my selfishness. Today, I suddenly understand, Hao Fenglou, you taught me something."
