After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, all the officials in the hall were worried. They must have been very scared.

The relationships in official circles are complicated and intricate, with countless branches and roots. And given Zhu's character, sometimes when he investigates one person, he can pull out all the branches that may have implicated a group of people.

No matter whether you are right or wrong, I will kill you first. I would rather kill you by mistake than let you go.

The people who are most afraid now are the officials in the Ministry of Personnel.

Zhang Yao was the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. If everything was really investigated, it was impossible to estimate how many people in the Ministry of Personnel would die. The officials present even felt that they were about to die.

"Your Highness, I will find out everything."

Zhang Xun was very panicked, worried that he would be implicated as well, and wanted to make amends for the Ministry of Personnel.

"We will investigate. There is no need for your Ministry of Personnel to investigate on your own."

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, "What can you find out if you investigate yourselves? In the end, you just pick two people to take the blame and give us a result that you think is very good. You want to get away with it, right?"

There was a hint of coldness in the tone of these words.

Zhang Xun was so cold that he trembled all over. They didn't know how to respond when questioned by Lao Zhu.

"I dare not!"

Zhang Xun said in a trembling voice.

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "If you really don't dare, this won't happen, hum..."

Zhang Xun trembled again, and all the officials present trembled as well.

"We will arrange for the Royal Guards to investigate and get to the bottom of it. If anything goes wrong, none of you will be able to escape."

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily.

When they heard that there would really be a retrospective investigation, they felt sad and kept praying in their hearts that this matter would have nothing to do with them.

"Grandpa Huang!"

Seeing this, Zhu Xuan could not help but remind him, "We should investigate, but when arresting people, we must have evidence and proof. We cannot just knock them all down. I believe that many officials may be implicated without knowing it. As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime. In fact, they don't want to do that."

Hearing this, the officials nodded secretly.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still the best!
Your Highness can be very fierce at times, but can also be very kind at times, unlike Your Majesty, who just wants to kill everyone.

"It's not good to not care about anything and just kill them all with one knife."

Zhu Xuan added: "Grandson begs Grandfather Emperor to thoroughly investigate. If there are people who were implicated without knowing, they should be punished appropriately. Killing people recklessly is not appropriate."

"My dear grandson is still kind!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, but he thought it was a good thing to be merciful at this time. He also wanted to make those officials obey his good grandson. One played the bad guy and the other played the good guy. He snorted and said, "If it weren't for my good grandson begging for you, I would have killed you now."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhang Xun knelt down and shouted.

Then, all the other officials knelt down and shouted that they must express gratitude, otherwise they might all be killed.

Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly: "Okay, we will confirm this matter by tracing back. Do you have anything else to say? Just speak up! By the way, this was done by the White Lotus Sect, and those evil people have infiltrated again. We will investigate the White Lotus Sect again, and you all should cooperate with us honestly."

"My lord, take your orders!"

The ministers said in unison.

When they heard that it was another masterpiece of the White Lotus Sect, they did not doubt it at all. After all, everyone knew that the White Lotus Sect loved to do these things.

It's not surprising that it was done by the White Lotus Sect.

Zhu Xuan did a perfect job in putting the blame on the White Lotus Sect, but the Emperor is now going to investigate the White Lotus Sect. Will it affect his own plan?
However, the blame has been passed on. If the emperor is not investigated, I am afraid that Zhu Zhen’s affairs will be known to the emperor, which will make him angry, which is not good.

"Forget it, let's investigate!" "Jiang Li and the others should know what to do. We can't let the emperor know about Sixth Uncle's affairs."

Zhu Xuan was thinking.

Zhu Yuanzhang personally attended court today. The atmosphere in the court was very depressing, far from being as relaxed as Zhu Xuan sitting here. Even if the officials had things to report, they had to be very cautious, for fear of the emperor's anger.

However, they were still relieved to have escaped death.

After the court was dismissed, the officials returned to their respective posts in a panic. The imperial examination was still going on and they were needed to work.

Zhu Xuan supported Zhu Yuanzhang and went to the Jinshen Hall next door.

Wen Gui had come here at some point and had seen the court scene. He came over excitedly and said, "Grandpa was so majestic just now. He frightened everyone so much that they dared not speak. They are all very afraid of him!"

"Ha ha……"

After hearing what his great-grandson said, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "I am already an old man. How can I be majestic or not? Your father is the majestic one."

Wen Gui hugged Lao Zhu's hand and said happily: "Daddy is far less powerful than Grandpa Huang. Great Grandpa is still the best."

"Okay, we're the best."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

Zhu Xuan felt that he was falling out of favor more and more.

The Emperor now likes that clever little boy more and more. They are not only related to each other through one generation, but through two generations.

"Daddy won't be angry, right?"

Wen Gui looked at Zhu Xuan again.

This brat even knew to ask such a question.

Zhu Xuan tapped Wen Gui's forehead and said, "How could Dad be angry with you? Stay here with Grandpa Huang. I have other things to do."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Go ahead, Wen Gui will accompany you. You have to deal with state affairs. The affairs of the entire Ming Dynasty are waiting for you to handle them."

Zhu Xuan said, "My third brother said yesterday that he was going to Japan to take up his fiefdom today, and I have to go and see him off."

"Alright!"

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the brothers were doing well, and said with satisfaction: "It's ok to see them off, and tell Yun to be careful. However, Japan is not far from our Ming Dynasty, and it's very fast to travel there by boat."

In fact, he was still worried because of the relationship with the Lu family and the fact that Zhu Yunwen had often bullied Zhu Xuan in the past, and now Zhu Xuan wanted to take revenge on Zhu Yunwen's brothers.

As of now, this has not been done.

Sending Zhu Yunwen to Japan was not a revenge. You have to know that Zhu Yuanzhang had also read a lot of information about Japan and knew that there were silver mines, copper mines, etc. there, and that they could also trade. Sending Zhu Yunwen to Japan was almost like giving Zhu Yunwen a piece of fat meat to eat.

It's a shabby place, but it's also a good place.

"My grandson understands."

After Zhu Xuan finished speaking, he left Jinshen Hall.

After calculating the time again, it was almost time to see Zhu Yunwen off.

After watching his grandson leave, Zhu Yuanzhang picked up his little great-grandson and said happily, "Wengui, let's go back to the Qianqing Palace and continue farming."

Wen Gui said, "Grandpa Emperor, please put your grandson down. He has become heavier now, and it is tiring for you to hold him."

"Ha ha……"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed again after hearing this.

Little great-grandson, please don't be too sensible! (End of this chapter)
