Jing Qing and Mu Sheng were not the only ones who received the murderous telegram.

Zheng Guangcheng, Mei Yin and others all received similar information. Except for those who were baiting bait to fish, others had to be ruthless in dealing with the White Lotus Sect. Those who were brainwashed by the White Lotus Sect had their brains basically ruined.

If such people are not killed, they will actually be a disaster if they are left alive.

"When you need to be ruthless, you must not be too saintly."

Zhu Xuan was sighing at this time. This was the first time he was cruel. He had no choice but to do so. Either they would die or the Ming Dynasty would be in chaos. It would be better for them to die.

Zhu Xuan thought about so many things and shook his head helplessly. When he was about to read the memorial, Hou Xian ran in.

"Your Highness!"

Hou Xian knelt down and said, "Your Highness, Prince Wei, have someone send something back to Your Highness by sea."

Zhu Yunhuan asked someone to send the token back urgently.

There is no railway in Pyongyang yet, so the fastest way is to arrange a ship and send it back at full speed to Zhu Xuan.

"What did my second brother give me?"

Zhu Xuan saw Hou Xian holding something wrapped in white cloth in his hands. He didn't know what it was, so he said, "Bring it up."

Hou Xian was brought to Zhu Xuan.

After opening it and taking a look, Zhu Xuan discovered that it was a token, which was sent back by Zhu Yunhuan. He couldn't help but think of the content in the telegram at that time, which included a description of a token.

“Pretty heavy-handed.”

Zhu Xuan picked up the token and weighed it for a while, then said with a smile, "I got your thoughts, second brother."

He could see that Zhu Yunhuan deliberately sent a token to him, which meant that Zhu Yunhuan believed in him and could not be the kind of person who would assassinate his brother.

Zhu Xuan never thought of doing anything to Zhu Yunhuan, and he naturally treated his second brother very well. While Zhu Yunhuan expressed his trust in him, he was also trying to gain Zhu Xuan's trust.

"My second brother has become more and more cautious."

Zhu Xuan sighed and put the token away.

There are a lot of these things in the East Palace, but a simple comparison will reveal that they are obviously fake. The workmanship is far inferior to that of the East Palace, and even the patterns are different.

Putting this thing aside for the time being, Zhu Xuan continued to read the memorial.

However, not long after reading, Hou Xian came in again and said, "Your Highness, we received a telegram from Prince Wei and another from the Jinyiwei in Goryeo."

I had just delivered the token and another telegram came back so quickly.

"I don't know what the current war situation in Goryeo is like."

Zhu Xuan thought, however, what can be concluded is that Zhu Yunhuan will definitely go back to find the traitor. After Zhu Quan arrives in Goryeo, Zhu Yunhuan will definitely hand over everything to Zhu Quan so that he can really atone for his sins.

With Zhu Quan's strength, it would be easy for him to destroy Li Bu.

Unless Zhu Quan did not want to destroy Li Chan and wanted to cooperate with Li Chan, that would be an uncertain factor. You must know that Zhu Quan had always wanted to rebel and embezzled military pay in order to rebel.

Even if he really conspired with Li Bu, Zhu Xuan was not surprised at all.

"Bring it up."

Zhu Xuan said.

Hou Xian quickly brought it to the table.

Zhu Xuan first opened the intelligence from the Jinyiwei, and saw that it said that the whole Goryeo was rumored to be cruel and ruthless, killing people indiscriminately. It was also said that local officials had also sent telegrams back to Beijing.

Many ministers in the court may have already known about Zhu Yunhuan's affairs.

This was to remind Zhu Xuan that if the ministers in the court knew that Zhu Yunhuan was killing people indiscriminately, they would definitely not miss the opportunity to criticize him.

"Why did my second brother kill people randomly?"

Zhu Xuan was a little confused. According to Zhu Yunhuan's kindness, he would not do such a thing. So he opened Zhu Yunhuan's telegram and suddenly realized it.

Zhu Yunhuan did kill people, and he killed everyone in the Prince Wei's Mansion, including eunuchs, palace maids and other slaves. Except for Prince Wei's core personnel, all the slaves and servants were killed.

The main reason is also very simple.

Zhu Yunhuan wrote clearly that there might be people who had sneaked into Prince Wei's mansion. Zhu Yunhuan and the Embroidered Uniform Guards didn't know how to investigate, so the only way was to kill them all and put an end to it all. Killing them all with a single knife was the safest approach.

"It's really cruel for Second Brother to do this."

Zhu Xuan talked to himself, but he did not think that Zhu Yunhuan had done anything wrong. If he were in his place, he might have done the same.

Since there is no way to find out who it is, a one-size-fits-all approach is indeed the safest approach. No one wants to have a huge threat around them.

"Hou Xian, arrange for a group of palace maids and eunuchs to go to Pyongyang for my second brother."

Zhu Xuan said, and warned: "All those who are arranged to go must go through the most rigorous inspection, at least check their three generations of ancestors, and don't let those with ulterior motives sneak in."

"Yes!"

Hou Xian actually knew why he did this.

However, as a eunuch, how could he dare to say so much? He just had to act according to Zhu Xuan's arrangements.

Previously, the Jinyiwei were arranged to conduct a thorough investigation of Pyongyang, but they were able to find out not much. The White Lotus Sect had always been hidden from the Jinyiwei's attention. As long as it involved the White Lotus Sect, it was usually difficult for the Jinyiwei to investigate.

"Lei Gang."

"My second sister-in-law, as well as my nephews and nieces, have all returned to Beijing, right?"

Zhu Xuan asked again.

Zhu Yunhuan was worried about the safety of his wife and children. Knowing that the Prince Wei's Mansion in Pyongyang was not safe, he sent them back to Beijing as soon as possible. He returned by boat and settled down in the Prince Wei's Mansion in Nanjing.

"came back."

Lei Gang must have received relevant information from the Jinyiwei.

It's good to be back!
Zhu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Hou Xian, make arrangements to send some silk and satin to Second Sister-in-law and the others, as well as toys for the children. Tell Second Sister-in-law to come and find me if she needs anything."

"Yes!"

Hou Xian responded.

Hurry down and work according to Zhu Xuan's arrangements.

"Officials in the court already know about my second brother's affairs, so we can no longer hide it."

Zhu Yun felt a headache when he thought about this again.

I think Zhu Yunhuan is in trouble.

What those officials hated most were cruel issues. In their view, the princes should be kind, perform their duties conscientiously, and defend the Ming Dynasty. It was actually okay that they knew nothing.

For example, officials were not very clear about the affairs of many vassal kings in the past, and at the same time they were afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang, fearing that they would be accused of instigating the imperial family, so they dared not say anything.

Now they not only knew about Zhu Yunhuan's affairs, but also that Zhu Xuan had punished the vassal kings before, which gave them hope. When faced with the crimes of the vassal kings, they would no longer be afraid to say anything.

Therefore, Zhu Yunhuan will definitely not be let off.

"I have a headache too!"

Zhu Xuan shook his head helplessly, but Zhu Yunhuan was in Pyongyang, and no matter how much the ministers in the court made trouble, they could not do anything to Zhu Yunhuan. The most they could do was impeach him.

Then let them impeach!

Zhu Xuan was too lazy to worry about it any more, so he asked people to bring back news from various border areas as soon as possible.

No matter how chaotic the border areas are, Zhu Xuan is not worried at all. After all, the strength of the Ming Dynasty is in front of him. (End of this chapter)
