Chapter 63 Don’t force us
For human nature,

If you have never seen hope before, you still don't feel that the darkness is unacceptable, but after seeing hope, the darkness comes again, it is not acceptable at all!
The same is true for Lu Shi and Zhu Yunqi.

After the death of Prince Zhu Biao, among the members of the entire royal family, Zhu Yunqi is the most likely to be established as the heir apparent by Zhu Yuanzhang!

Even Zhu Di, the most powerful among the vassal kings, would not be able to compete with Zhu Yunwen without the support of a large number of ministers in the court!
But how could the ministers in the court support Zhu Di?

Support a prince who is most like Zhu Yuanzhang?
If one had to choose between Zhu Yunqi and Zhu Di to inherit the throne, no matter from which point of view, Zhu Yunqi was the suitable candidate.

Therefore, Lu and Zhu Yunwen knew clearly that King Zhu Di of Yan was not a big threat to them.

However, Zhu Xiongying is different...

His identity is too orthodox, he is the real grandson of the emperor, the eldest son of the crown prince, and because of the identity of his biological mother, Chang, there is a large circle of nobles from Huaixi who follow him wholeheartedly.

As long as Zhu Xiongying is willing to fight for the throne, Zhu Yunqi has no chance of winning at all!

This is extremely terrifying for Zhu Yunwen's mother and son!

This situation must be broken!

The question is now, how to break this situation?

There is only one best way to break the situation, which is to make the emperor's grandson who suddenly reappeared after ten years disappear completely!

However... this matter must not be done, or there must be no future troubles!
Otherwise, no one can bear the fury of Zhu Yuanzhang's thunder!

Dao Yan once had this idea when he met Cao Ying for the first time and was emotionally excited, but Zhu Di strongly rejected it!

Thinking back afterwards, Dao Yan was also in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Zhu Di held him back, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!

Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson, the emperor's grandson, who had been away for ten years, finally returned to his side, and he must cherish it very much!

At this juncture, if Cao Ying has three advantages and two disadvantages, it is unknown what kind of crazy behavior Zhu Yuanzhang will do!

Dao Yan had thought about a variety of covert methods to get rid of Cao Ying, and there was a high probability that he and King Yan would not be found.

But it was only later that he realized that this road would not work at all!
Because doing so... the old man who offended him was too terrifying!

No matter how many schemes he has, in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's absolute strength, he will be like a piece of window paper, which can be broken with a poke!
After realizing this point, Dao Yan also knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, so he simply diverted the news from Cao Ying to Zhu Yunqi and Lu's mother and son.

It is to tell them clearly that if they want to be the crown prince, they must find a way to deal with Cao Ying's threat. As for how to deal with it, it depends on their methods.

Zhu Yunqi and the Lu family, just as Dao Yan had speculated, walked into the prison he gave step by step!

They learned that Cao Ying was still alive, but encountered the same predicament as Dao Yan—they had nothing to do with Cao Ying!
Even if you think about it with your buttocks, you know that Cao Ying must be surrounded by human guards assigned by Zhu Yuanzhang at this time. The Lu family spies may have alerted the snake before, so how could they dare to cause trouble at this time?

Although there is a saying that goes, how can you find tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den.

But...Zhu Yuanzhang's tiger's lair makes people unable to summon up the slightest courage!
Without him,

Once Zhu Yuanzhang gets real, he will really be bloody and his head will roll!

"This...does God really want to betray our mother and son?" Lu slumped on the chair and murmured, her eyes gone.

"How about... why not call Mr. Huang over and let's discuss it with him?" Zhu Yunwen suddenly said.

Apart from his mother Lu's family, Huang Zicheng, the Minister of Taichang Temple, is his most trusted person.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu nodded, then shook her head again.

"It would be too conspicuous to ask him to come here at this time. Let him come to lecture you after tomorrow's court."

"it is good."

After a few words, the mother and son fell into silence. At this moment, they only felt exhausted physically and mentally...

at the same time.

Also in the imperial city,

Royal study.

Jin Yiwei Hao Han has reported everything that happened in Zhengkan Village today to Zhu Yuanzhang.

As Jinyiwei spies placed in Zhengkan Village, the most important duty of Hao Han and others is to protect Cao Ying's safety.

Especially after Hao Han learned the identity of Emperor Cao Ying's grandson, he dared not neglect it. It can be said that even if a fly entered the village, Hao Han and the others had to figure out whether the fly was male or female.

Today, two spies from the Lu family entered Zhengkan Village. Their out-of-place clothes naturally attracted the attention of Hao Han and others. However, they did not alert the enemy and only observed in secret.

When two spies from the Lu family knocked on the door of Cao Wei's house, Hao Han was behind the wall at the corner. If the two spies made any big moves, he would step forward without hesitation with a knife!

But the two spies left in a hurry after seeing Cao Ying, without giving Hao Han a chance to act.

They are protected secretly and cannot act rashly unless necessary.

But Hao Han was Jin Yiwei after all, he saw that something was wrong with the two of them, so he followed him until the two spies walked around the street a few times and entered Lu's residence.

Normally, the work process of Hao Han and the others is to report to Zhu Yuanzhang what happened in Zhengkan Village the previous day on the second day.

But the identities of the two people who came this time were obviously not ordinary people. Hao Han did not dare to delay and turned directly into the imperial city to meet Zhu Yuanzhang.

After reporting everything truthfully, Hao Han felt the faint coercion emanating from the person in front of him!
Obviously the expression on Zhu Yuanzhang's face did not change, but Hao Han still felt a sense of suffocation as if the mountain rain was about to come and the wind filled the building!
"You can see clearly, are you right? They entered the Lu Mansion?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden voice was very deep, which made Hao Han's heart jump.

"The humble job is definitely not wrong! Although those two people walked around the street a few times, their figures are very recognizable. They have indeed entered Lu's residence." Hao Han said these two words, his forehead was oozing sweat.

"Okay, we got it. You didn't expose yourself, and you did a good job." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't intend to tell Hao Hand more, and after saying a word, he waved his hand to signal him to go down.

Hao Han lowered his head and bowed, "Resign from the humble position!"

……

Only Zhu Yuanzhang and the chief eunuch were left in the imperial study, and the air seemed to freeze.

Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyelids, his face looked like an ancient well, and his thick fingers gently patted the crook of his legs.

"The Lu family?"

"...Don't go too far...you guys... force our old man to kill him again..."

His words seemed to be talking to himself, or to the Lu family in his mouth, but at this time, no one could hear except the chief eunuch, and no one could feel the bone-chilling chill in Zhu Yuanzhang's words...
