Prince Li's Mansion, Xiao Cheng went to find Prince Li immediately after returning, and explained the attitude of Duke Zhen.

"Hmph, this king already knows that this bastard will not obediently hand over things."

"Since he wants to die, let him die."

Prince Li has kept a low profile for so many years, how could he be threatened by Duke Zhen?

His idea is that, at worst, he will manage the North Land honestly, and the evidence is slowly being drawn.

Find it slowly, as long as you don't make mistakes on your side, even if Emperor Hongwen wants to deal with them, it will not be an easy matter.

Indeed, he is the highest seniority among the royal family members, and he has been Zong Zheng for so many years, so he has a very high prestige among the royal family members.

Without making a big mistake, Emperor Hongwen really couldn't move him.

However, although he is not afraid of being threatened, nor is he afraid of holding back for a while longer, Xiao Cheng, a young man, doesn't think much of it.

He is the second son of Prince Li's mansion. Although he is also the heir of Prince Li, he will not be able to inherit the royal title in the future, and according to Dongzhou's rules, the eldest son can get the title and at the same time share [-]% of the family's property.

He had to share the remaining [-]% ​​with his father's concubine sons.

It was so pitifully rare that he didn't want to be lost in the crowd.

Therefore, since he learned that Emperor Hongwen might not be the biological son of the first emperor, and his father had an idea to replace him, he has made great efforts.

Firstly, he wanted to show off more, so that if they succeeded, even if he could not inherit the position in the future, then his elder brother would remember his current achievements and give him a good arrangement.

It is a life of wealth and glory.

At this time, when he heard that his father actually planned to continue to endure, he immediately became a little unhappy.

"Father, we have already reached this point. Even if we are holding back, Emperor Hongwen will not let us go as he did before."

"It's not a good thing for us to be missed by an emperor."

"My son thinks that even if we help Duke Zhen, it's not a bad thing for us. Even if we don't get what he has in his hand, if he is alive, he can help us attract Emperor Hongwen's attention and create opportunities for us. "

Hearing this, Prince Li took a deep look at his second son, why didn't Prince Li know what he was thinking?
Of course, he wouldn't blame him, after all, he was fighting for his own future, and he didn't do anything to endanger Prince Li's mansion.

And what he said at this time is quite reasonable.

Although he can continue to endure, but as Xiao Cheng said, being missed by an emperor will not make life easy after that.

And help Zhen Guogong?
He really doesn't have the confidence to get that thing from Zhen Guogong.

Even according to Lord Zhen, if he had to be sent to the Northland, then they would have little chance of containing Lord Zhen.

"The matter has come to this point, and we have no way to retreat. Instead of waiting to die slowly, it is better to take a gamble."

"Father, do you really want our family to endure like this forever?"

Prince Li remained silent, Xiao Cheng didn't say anything more when he saw this.

He is very clear that some things cannot be said too much, the more you say, the less effective it will be.

After a while, Prince Li sighed heavily, as if he had made up his mind.

"As a father, it was because of the lack of hard work back then that you have lived with the wretches for so many years."

"You're right, it's better to fight than wait for death slowly."

"Go to the Duke of Zhen's mansion tomorrow and say that the king has agreed to his terms and escorted him to leave the capital for the Northland."

Xiao Cheng hurriedly asked after hearing the words; "Then the person we secretly arranged should be on the way."

He didn't say what happened later, but Prince Li knew it very well.

According to their plan, they were to get Lord Zhen Guo out of the capital, keep him alive, and then arrange for someone to secretly detain him and torture him.

"He's not a fool, and don't underestimate his hidden strength."

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng fell silent. I have to say, he was also very surprised by this.

Back then, Lord Zhen Guo was brought back to the capital and put under house arrest. Everyone in the capital thought that Lord Zhen Guo was completely finished.

They were no exception, but then Lord Zhen Guo suddenly arranged for someone to contact them.

To be honest, they were a little shocked at the time.

Shocked that Lord Zhen Guo could arrange for someone to contact them under such strict surveillance by Emperor Hongwen.

Afterwards, they were able to enter and leave the town government's mansion without being discovered, which shocked them even more.

"But if you let him go to the Northland like this, I'm worried about the big brother."

"Don't worry, even if Duke Zhen goes to the Northland, he won't dare to stand up for a while."

Just kidding, even if Duke Zhen went to Beidi, would he dare to stand up?
Not all the troops in the North belonged to him, there were also those from the imperial court. If he appeared, the imperial court would immediately suppress him.

Conspiracy and rebellion will be confirmed. If there is no certainty, Duke Zhen will never do this.

At most, relying on Beidi's own foundation, hiding there to be a local emperor.

And now the army in charge of the Northland is Prince Li's Mansion, so as long as there is enough time, it is not impossible to eat away the power of Duke Zhen little by little.

Of course, the most important thing is to get solid evidence from him, so that even if Emperor Hongwen attacks later, they can be the first to attack.

At that time, relying on his prestige among the royal clan, what would Emperor Hongwen dare to do to him?
Of course, all of these will only appear under unavoidable circumstances, and he will never reveal the secret until the last step is reached.

After all, one of the late emperor's sons was still alive, and he didn't want to make wedding dresses for others.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Cheng has gone to Zhen Guogong's mansion again, and there is one person left behind. It seems that they are planning to do something."

Wang De got the news from Tian Ziwei and immediately reported it to Emperor Hongwen.

"It seems that Prince Li still doesn't give up. If that's the case, let them go."

Emperor Hongwen waved his hand and continued, "You go and inform King Jin, just let him watch the play, don't bother."

Hearing this, Wang De responded, but he was a little puzzled in his heart. Seeing the emperor like this, is he planning to let Duke Zhen leave the capital like this?

Didn't he know that after Zhen Guogong left, he would undoubtedly let the tiger go back to the mountain?
However, he was just a slave after all, and since the master had already given a clear arrangement, it was not easy for him to ask too much.

Not long after, Wang De appeared at the Prince Jin's residence.

At this time, the King of Jin had also received the news that Xiao Cheng had gone to the Duke of Zhen's mansion again, and he had arranged for someone to destroy the Duke of Zhen's plan.

This is the person he managed to catch back, and it is impossible to let the tiger go back to the mountain.

But Wang De brought the words of Emperor Hongwen, and King Jin was silent.

Frowning and pondering for a long time, he nodded slowly; "Since the emperor has already made arrangements, this king will not worry about it."
