Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Zhu Yunhuan certainly knew that the content of Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict was ultimately to help himself.

Even if he was to be caned thirty times, a real beating, he didn't care. He could let them beat him as they pleased. He wouldn't die after that anyway.

"Your Highness, I am sorry for the offense."

The eunuch from the Xingren Department had no choice but to speak.

The two Jinyiwei immediately stepped forward, picked up two big sticks, waved them, and then looked at Zhu Yunhuan.

At this time, Chang Lin had already moved out a bench, and Zhu Yunhuan lay directly on it.

"Your Highness, minister..."

Chang Lin didn't want Zhu Yunhuan to be beaten, and was about to speak, but Zhu Yunhuan interrupted him, "Come on! I gave the order to kill. If I'm not beaten, the Emperor and His Highness won't be able to give an explanation to the people below."

Hearing this, Chang Lin had no choice but to give up, but he also believed that the Jinyiwei would not hit him too hard.

"Your Highness, offended!"

The two Jinyiwei men had no choice but to take action. They swung their big sticks and hit him. It seemed that they were hitting him very hard, but when the sticks landed on Zhu Yunhuan's buttocks, 90% of the force was reduced, making it seem like a light hit.

Zhu Yunhuan had known this would happen and was not surprised at all.

Not long after, the thirty beatings were over, and Zhu Yunhuan was fine. He just patted his butt and got up.

"Nephew, what's wrong with you?"

“And I got beaten!”

Zhu Quan had just returned to Pyongyang. As soon as he walked into Prince Wei's Mansion, he saw Zhu Yunhuan being beaten and asked in surprise.

Zhu Yunhuan raised the imperial edict and said helplessly: "I was ordered to be beaten. Grandfather Emperor said that I killed too many people."

Nothing happened after the fight. Zhu Quan knew it was just a formality and nothing serious. He asked, "I heard you killed all the people in the palace?"

After he finished speaking, he was thinking in his heart, this nephew is also a ruthless person. He killed so many people just because of a disagreement. If he were in his place, could he do the same?

He couldn’t say whether it was possible or not, but he thought Zhu Yunhuan was a bit cruel.

"I don't know who the spy is in the palace. Since I can't find out, I might as well stop investigating and kill them all. If I don't kill them, they will kill me." Zhu Yunhuan explained with a smile.

This sentence was said in a simple way, but it also made Zhu Quan re-examine Zhu Yunhuan. He thought that this nephew could be really cruel sometimes!
"In fact, there are not many people in my eldest brother's lineage who are not ruthless." Zhu Quan muttered to himself.

The eunuch from the Xingren Division saw this and stepped forward, bowed and said, "Your Highnesses, I have finished delivering your orders and will not disturb you any more. I am now preparing to return to the capital."

Zhu Yunhuan stuffed a piece of gold into the eunuch's pocket and said, "You have worked hard, take a rest for a night before going back. Chang Lin will arrange for someone to prepare a place for you to stay."

"Yes!"

Chang Lin took the eunuch away, and the front yard of Prince Wei's Mansion temporarily returned to peace.

Zhu Quan saw all of Zhu Yunhuan's little moves, and thought that they were all people who understood the ways of the world, so he said, "Yunhuan is really generous!"

Zhu Yunhuan shook his head and said, "What a generosity! Grandfather Emperor has already deducted my salary. This is the last time I will be generous."

After a brief pause, he looked at Zhu Quan and asked, "Why is Uncle Seventeen back? Is the fight over?"

Zhu Quan walked into the living room and sat down without being polite with Zhu Yunhuan. He said, "The battle against Goryeo should have been won long ago! If Yunhuan hadn't wanted me to atone for my sins, the battle would have been won long ago. Someone bring up Li Bu's body."

The body with half of its head blown off was carried up, and it was so unrecognizable that it was impossible to tell whose body it belonged to.

Although the body had been simply processed using some antiseptic methods, the stench was still very noticeable.

Plus with half of its head missing, it still looks pretty scary.

"Uncle Seventeen, this body is not right, right?"

Zhu Yunhuan had seen Li Bu before. When he saw the body with half of its face missing being carried up, he went over to take a look without fear. His first impression was that it didn't look like Li Bu at all. Upon hearing this, Zhu Quan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that his nephew's senses were so sharp that he could even tell whether it was Li Bu. Of course, he couldn't admit that there was a problem. He said, "It was blown up like this and rotted like this. How can Yunhuan tell whether it is Li Bu? What's more, I captured several of Li Bu's subordinates and they all said it was Li Bu."

This seems to be true. He was not there at the time and didn't know how Li Chen was killed in the explosion. Perhaps this person was Li Chen.

However, Zhu Yunhuan still felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Anyway, it was very strange.

"I killed Li Bu and destroyed the Li Dynasty. If you don't have any other questions, I will go back."

Zhu Quan said again.

Zhu Yunhuan thought about it and asked again: "Seventeenth Uncle, where are the people under Li Bu's command?"

Zhu Quan knew that Zhu Yunhuan would ask about this, and said, "Either they were killed by my bombs, or they ran away. As for those who ran away, I also sent people to hunt them down, and most of them were killed."

After getting this result, Zhu Yunhuan thought about it for a moment, nodded slightly, and thought that this was probably it. He didn't dwell on it too much and said, "Thank you, Uncle Seventeen, for helping me quell the rebellion."

Zhu Quan laughed and said, "I am here to atone for my sins. Actually, I want to thank you so much that I can keep this credit."

They talked to each other and were polite to each other for a while.

Zhu Quan left, and Zhu Yunhuan asked him to stay and rest for two days, but he declined as he was in a hurry to go back.

When leaving, Zhu Quan took Li Chen's body away on the pretext of disposing of the corpse. He found a place and burned it directly, completely destroying all traces so that no one could suspect him anymore.

Everything went smoothly.

He was in a hurry to go back because he wanted to make use of Li Chen to help him accomplish many things.

"Immediately, go back to Daning."

Zhu Quan said loudly.

As for Yi Bu and Park Chang, they mixed in with Zhu Quan's army and no one could find them.

Inside Prince Wei’s Palace.

"Strange."

Zhu Yunhuan always felt that there was something wrong with Li Bu's body, which had just been blown beyond recognition and rotted.

As for what was wrong, he couldn't tell for a moment.

"I hope there are no other problems!"

Zhu Yunhuan thought that he might be thinking too much and put this worry behind him for the time being.

The unrest in Goryeo was completely quelled, but the matter of Zhu Yunhuan had not been completely resolved. Only the people in the Prince Wei's Mansion were killed, but it was impossible to kill all the people in the three guards as well.

If he dares to do so, what he will face will not be as simple as suspension of salary and caning.

"Your Highness."

Chang Ting came in and said, "Lord Lu from the Jinyiwei is here!"

"Please!"

Zhu Yunxi said.

Usually when Lu Guangsheng comes to see someone, the investigation should be almost complete and there should be some definite results.

"Your Highness, we have locked on to several people."

This was the first thing Lu Guangsheng said when he walked into the palace.

We have targeted several people who have infiltrated the army. (End of this chapter)
