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

Chapter 366 Confrontation with the Court
  "Are you sure you really want this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xie Sheng and others and asked coldly.

Xie Sheng and the others lowered their heads, not daring to make eye contact with Zhu Yuanzhang, but their intention was clear. If they really wanted to do this, this would be their chance to help Zhu Yunwen.

After a while, Xie Sheng said again: "Your Majesty, please send word that His Highness the Young Emperor and Vice-President Liu are here to inquire. This matter is very important and is related to the innocence of His Highness the Young Emperor."

Hearing the question of his grandson's innocence, Zhu Yuanzhang agreed: "Okay, then we will rely on you. If it is found out that it is not the case, what will happen to you?"

They don't speak.

If it’s not, it’s not, what else can it be?

Even if it's not, they don't think they did it wrong, they just have normal doubts.

"Yunqi, send our good grandson and Liu Chun over here."

Although Zhu Yuanzhang's voice is old, it is still loud and powerful.

Today he will give his good grandson another chance to show off and see who else dares to cause trouble for his good grandson in the future.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang could tell that there was something wrong behind this incident. Why did people outside spread the rumor for no reason that the good grandson brought the virus back?
  He even spread rumors and slandered Guaisun to make money from smallpox and cowpox.

Zhu Yuanzhang might have been deceived by these rumors if Guaisun hadn't said that he wanted to hand over all the proceeds from the sale of cowpox to the state treasury and selflessly invest money and food during the prevention and control period.

The person behind this rumor has sinister intentions and can be punished!

This is to obliterate Zhu Xuan’s achievements and contributions in fighting the epidemic. Who benefits from this, and who is behind it?
  Zhu Yuanzhang already had a candidate in mind, but he couldn't believe that this person could do such a thing that ignored family ties.

It made him feel helpless and disappointed.

Sometimes I am still too kind and attach too much importance to family ties.

When Wang Du and others heard that Zhu Yuanzhang agreed, they felt a little uneasy. If the news about Zhu Yunwen was not kept true later, they might have no problem, but Zhu Yunwen probably had no hope at all.

When they first agreed to Zhu Yunwen's offer, Wang Du and the others were hot-headed and thought it was OK and didn't want to miss the opportunity.

However, when they reached this level, they thought deeply and thought that there was no need for Zhu Xuan to do such a thing that would harm the country and the people and bring about his own destruction.

If Zhu Yunwen really has no hope, and Zhu Xuan really comes to power in the future, will officials like them who strongly impeach him still have a good life?

For a time, everyone present had various thoughts.

Waited not long.

Zhu Xuan, who lives in the palace, walked into the main hall first.

Because he arrived in a hurry, Yunqi didn't have time to tell him what happened.

"My grandson pays homage to Grandpa Huang."

After Zhu Xuan came in, he bowed and saluted first, and then asked: "Excuse me, Grandpa Huang, do you have anything to do with your grandson?"

He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang blankly.

He could also feel that the eyes of the civil servants around him were somewhat hostile to him, as if something important had happened.

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng winked at him quietly, but after blinking and making gestures, Zhu Xuan could not understand anything from their actions.

"My dear grandson, someone just said that you brought back the smallpox virus and used the virus to sell cowpox to make money. Is this true?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhu Xuan: "..."

What smallpox did I bring back?
  Could it be that they knew about the incident at the hospital?

But even if they knew, Zhu Xuan didn't think it was a big deal. They did it openly and with a clear conscience. So many people could survive and the epidemic prevention could go smoothly, all because of the smallpox patient's clothes.

And did nothing wrong.

"Who said that?"

Zhu Xuan asked curiously, and then said: "How much money can you make by selling cowpox? My grandson originally planned to vaccinate all the people in Yingtian Mansion for free, but those people outside insisted on opposing it, so my grandson was angry and only charged a fee. . The ministers present have all been vaccinated against cowpox for their grandchildren. According to them, don’t they have to pay this amount of money?” “Wang Du, what do you say?”

Zhu Yuanzhang asked coldly.

Zhu Xuan looked at the minister kneeling on the ground in front of him.

It turned out to be this guy who said it.

"Mr. Wang and I have no grievances or enmities. Why does Mr. Wang want to frame me?"

Zhu Xuan asked.

Wang Du said: "Your Highness asked, is there any?"

Now that things have come to this, he has no choice but to go all out and stick to his point of view.

"Of course not. Lord Jiang of Jinyiwei knows this best."

Zhu Xuan said.

Zhu Yuanzhang has not announced anything about the White Lotus Sect.

He planned to announce the ins and outs of smallpox and what the White Lotus Sect had done today, but before he had time to speak, Wang Du took the lead in causing trouble.

"Jiang Wei, please tell me."

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.

After saying this, he secretly thought in his heart that even if Wang Du did not die, he would not want to stay in the capital anymore, and he had already thought about the area where he would be exiled.

Jiang Wei had been standing in the main hall, and he had long been unhappy with the civil servants. After listening to Lao Zhu's words, he bowed and said, "In Yingtian Mansion, I captured more than two hundred people who were inserted by the White Lotus Sect. After many After being severely tortured, half of them are still alive and are in the imperial prison. According to their confessions, smallpox was brought by the White Lotus Sect and has nothing to do with His Highness the Little Emperor."

Wang Du trembled as he listened.

Why did the Jin Yiwei capture people from the White Lotus Sect?
  He doesn't know about this!
  If you knew, you would never dare to do this.

"really?"

Wang Du asked worriedly.

Jiang Wei hummed and said: "If Mr. Wang doesn't believe it, I would like to take Mr. Wang to the imperial prison to have a look. I can also hand him over to Mr. Wang for interrogation."

"No, no, no!"

Wang Du was worried, so he went to Jinyiwei Prison and could never get out.

At this time, there were beads of sweat on the tip of his nose and forehead, and he added: "But...but this is what is said outside. By the way, there is also the clothes of a smallpox patient. Someone saw it with his own eyes, and it belonged to His Highness in the hospital. How can Your Highness explain this when people are brought into the city?"

He grasped this and asked again.

Zhu Xuan asked him back, saying: "Master Wang said that someone saw it with his own eyes. Who saw it? I would rather tell Grandpa Huang to hear it. Jiang Wei may be able to find that person."

"This one……"

Wang Du didn't know who the person he saw was. Zhu Yunwen told him this.

But what Zhu Yunwen said did not stand up to scrutiny. He also felt that he had been tricked by Zhu Yunwen.

The other civil servants around him wanted to help him, but they didn't know how to do so at this moment.

The person who has been dealing with Zhu Yunwen on this matter is Wang Du, and they don't know much about the inside story.

"who is it?"

Zhu Xuan asked again.

"Yes……"

Wang Du was thinking, who should I say?
  Zhu Yunwen couldn't be told, otherwise it would be better not to say anything. He was almost dying of anxiety, more and more beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his psychological defense was about to collapse.
