Chapter 505: Rewards and Reentry

Chapter 505: Rewards and Reentry

As for Zhu Yuanzhang, he actually knew a lot of things.

Earlier, he had already decided on his fat son Zhu Biao to be the crown prince.

On the one hand, it is because my fat son is good enough and his talent is amazing enough.

But on the other hand, he also wanted to use the system of primogeniture to settle the succession of imperial power as soon as possible.

He was truly worried that his family had worked so hard to build such a foundation, but in the end it would lead to tragedies such as brothers fighting each other or killing each other.

Judging from previous situations, things seemed to have always been under his control.

His fat son's position as crown prince is as stable as a rock.

My own eldest grandson is rarely rivaled by his peers.

In other words, at least for him, the succession of three generations of emperors of the Ming Dynasty has been confirmed.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, as long as the inheritance of these three generations was determined, there would be no problems afterwards.

Of course, if something really went wrong, it would be beyond his control.

He has done his best within the scope of his ability.

Why was he so scared when Zhu Xiongying got into trouble this time?

On the one hand, he was worried about and doted on his beloved grandson, but on the other hand, he was still worried that there would be problems with the succession of imperial power that he had designed.

Once something happened to Zhu Xiongying, the inheritance after Zhu Biao would inevitably be in trouble.

At least Master Hu has to be involved.

Moreover, the Eastern Palace has not only the Crown Princess Hu Xinyue, but also a variety of other concubines.

If this gets out of control, it will be a big deal.

Therefore, even if the matter had barely passed, Zhu Yuanzhang still had to investigate it.

Even though he didn't think the Hu family would get involved in this at all.

But... he has to be on guard!
Even if there is only a one in a million possibility, he must eliminate it. He wants peace of mind!
And obviously, Mao Xiang is quite reliable when it comes to doing this kind of thing.

Holding Zhu Yuanzhang's handwritten letter, he could move freely in the palace.

You can ask anyone you want and check any record you want.

The palace has its own rules, and all kinds of things are recorded here.

Eating, sleeping, traveling, talking, all of that is recorded.

This brought a lot of convenience to Mao Xiang.

Soon, he came to Zhu Yuanzhang with a lot of things.

"Your Majesty, I have completed my investigation and I have come to report to you!"

"Oh, you found out so quickly? Then tell me about it, we're listening!"

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed nonchalant, but in fact, he was so absorbed in dealing with memorials that the red pen in his hand had not moved for a long time.

Mao Xiang didn't dare to look Zhu Yuanzhang directly, so he didn't notice anything unusual about Zhu Yuanzhang at all.

He did not dare to keep Zhu Yuanzhang in suspense, so he first stated the overall conclusion after the investigation.

"Your Majesty, after careful investigation, the emperor's grandson's illness was purely accidental, and there was no interference from anyone else!"

As the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Mao Xiang had accepted the task and was naturally responsible for the results of his investigation.

After he finished talking about the results of the investigation, he turned and handed a bunch of things in his arms to Song Li.

"Your Majesty, please look here. Here are the people and events that the Emperor's grandson has come into contact with in the past two months that I have verified."

"Not only are there various records in the palace as evidence, but there are also confessions from palace maids and eunuchs to ensure that there is nothing wrong!"

"After repeated comparisons, this matter has nothing to do with others!"

Song Li quietly placed a thick stack of records next to Zhu Yuanzhang and let Zhu Yuanzhang read it.

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang simply stopped hiding it. He picked up the record and began to read it carefully.

After a long while, Zhu Yuanzhang heaved a long sigh, looked at Mao Xiang who had been standing obediently in the hall, and spoke in a rare gentle tone.

"Well, Mao Xiang, you did a good job!"

"I am very pleased!" "Go down!"

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty! I'll take my leave now!"

When Mao Xiang heard this, he was instantly excited and almost broke his voice when he answered.

Mao Xiangke was so happy.

I am very pleased!
These four words are more valuable than any reward like promotion or bounty.

To put it bluntly, Mao Xiong is nothing more than the royal henchman and the emperor's minion.

All titles and official positions are nothing but passing clouds.

From beginning to end, there is only one thing that truly determines whether he can live well and whether he can make further progress.

That is the trust of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

It's better now.

The words "I am very pleased" are definitely better than a promotion!
No wonder Mao Xiang was so happy.

However, Mao Xiang was happy, and Lao Zhu himself was also very happy.

Although he had always thought that Master Hu was not involved in these things.

But after all, there is still a little worry.

It’s better now!

The last trace of worry was gone.

Mr. Hu was indeed as outstanding as he expected.

And Hu Xinyue, the Crown Princess and daughter-in-law, is just as outstanding as everyone had imagined.

This made him happier than any other news!
Thinking of this, Old Zhu got excited and waved his hand.

"Song Li, go to the Queen, pick up the Ruyi that we like, and then give it to Wei Yong."

"Tell him that it is our intention, and I will be very relieved!"

"Go!"

Upon hearing this, Song Li hurriedly bowed and accepted the order, then turned around and left.

Song Li naturally understood what was going on, but when Master Hu received this sudden reward, he was completely stunned.

"Old Song, what do you mean?"

"It's impossible that the emperor's grandson would fall ill again and recover again in just one day, right?"

Song Li waved his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"My Lord Hu, what are you talking about?"

"You have made so many contributions, this is a reward from the Emperor, so why don't you just accept it?"

"Besides, just talking about the Emperor's grandson, even if you are rewarded again, what's the big deal?"

After hearing this, Mr. Hu did not investigate further.

But looking at the jade ruyi that was handed to me, I actually felt a little embarrassed.

As Lao Zhu's old brother, he knew it.

This jade ruyi doesn't look like a valuable item.

But in fact, this thing is Lao Zhu's favorite, and he always likes to play with it in his hands.

As a result, now that these things have been delivered, it’s a bit embarrassing.

I just helped him save Zhu Xiongying's life by chance. It's a bit too much to reward him over and over again.

When he thought of Zhu Xiongying, Mr. Hu was suddenly stunned.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered another thing.

If I remember correctly, in history, it seems that not long after Zhu Xiongying's accident, Empress Ma also disappeared!
This is a huge matter.

It seems that I have to go to the palace!
