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

Chapter 368: My grandson’s hands don’t want to be stained with the blood of his relatives
  Chapter 368

Since Wang Du refused to speak, Zhu Xuan wanted to force him to speak.

In fact, both Zhu Xuan and Zhu Yuanzhang could guess who asked Wang Du to do this. All they needed was Wang Du's words to confirm.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Xuan's question, his eyes became colder and colder, staring straight at Wang Du, as if he could cut Wang Du alive with his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you are wronged!"

Wang Du grabbed the ground with his head and said in a trembling voice: "I really just heard it from outside. It has nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect. I shouldn't use these rumors to frame His Highness. I deserve to die."

He still firmly defended Zhu Yunwen.

Even if he was imprisoned, he would not say certain things, but being labeled a member of the White Lotus Sect was a crime he could not bear.

"My dear grandson, do you have anything else to say?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Seeing that Wang Du refused to admit it, Zhu Xuan hesitated for a while. He probably couldn't get anything out of the questioning, so he stopped being aggressive and left the rest to Grandpa Huang to handle. He shook his head and said, "My grandson is gone. I can prove my innocence." That’s it.”

Zhu Yuanzhang hummed softly and said: "Jiang Wei, take him down and put him in the prison, and then control the Wang family. No one is allowed to leave until the truth is revealed."

"Yes!"

Jiang Wei glared hard and strode towards Wang Du.

If this guy dares to frame His Highness, he is seeking death. They Jin Yiwei will definitely entertain him well.

"Your Majesty, this is unjust... Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

Wang Du shouted loudly, but he was soon dragged out.

Xie Sheng and others dare not speak now, let alone save Wang Du.

This matter is related to the White Lotus Sect. If they dare to touch it, they may be sent to prison. The White Lotus Sect is a mortal existence in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the smallpox was brought by the White Lotus Sect. Whoever touches it will die.

Their civil servants could only watch Wang Du being taken away.

"Thank you, Grandpa Huang, for restoring my grandson's innocence." Zhu Xuan said appropriately.

After hearing this, Liu Chun bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly to them, looked at the civil servants, and asked: "You dare to frame our good grandson, how do you think we should punish you?"

When the civil servants heard this, they immediately became angry.

"Your Majesty, why do you need punishment?"

Chen Di asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "You framed my dear grandson and impeached him so readily. Now that my dear grandson is fine, you can just pat your butt and leave. Do you want our dear grandson to suffer in vain?"

They all dared not speak.

"Jiang Wei, check their names to see if they have any shops, etc., or any other income other than being an official."

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "If they are found out, they will all be sealed. In addition, their salaries will be deducted for three months. Retreat from the court!"

"Your Majesty, you are wronged!"

"Your Majesty, no!"

……

A wailing sound echoed among the civil servants.

Those who supported Zhu Yunwen were all dumbfounded.

Their salaries have been deducted for three months, and all their extra income has been blocked. What will they eat?
  But Zhu Yuanzhang strode away, too lazy to pay attention to them.

In the past, he had wielded a butcher's knife, but as he got older, he was no longer so cruel. Besides killing people, who would help him handle government affairs?

It can only be punished simply.

"Ha ha……"

Lan Yu laughed happily and said: "You have read too many books, have you even damaged your brain?"

If he hadn't been out of his mind, he wouldn't have been able to figure out why those civil servants dared to provoke Zhu Xuan without sufficient evidence.

Isn't this a proper search?

After listening to Lan Yu's words, those civil servants turned pale and were already scolding the old man in their hearts.

"Well done, little emperor!" Lan Yu said, leading a group of generals to leave first.

Qi Tai reassured: "I just said, no one can frame His Highness."

Zhu Xuan: "..."

After hearing what this guy said, he couldn't help but give this guy a roll of his eyes.

Why didn't you speak to me just now?
  But soon, they all left the hall, and the civil servants walked out one after another, feeling unprecedented despair. Even if Wang Du could hold on, they thought Zhu Yuanzhang must have guessed something.

Zhu Yunwen is probably going to die.

After they all left and Zhu Xuan was about to leave, Yun Qi came over and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty will let you pass."

Zhu Xuan was not surprised that Grandpa Huang was looking for him.

Not long after, Zhu Xuan came to Lao Zhu.

"Grandpa Huang, have you guessed who it is?"

Zhu Xuan asked first as soon as he walked in.

The person behind the civil servants' united opposition to Zhu Xuan must be Zhu Yunwen, but the news about the clothes definitely did not come from Zhu Yunwen, but most likely from the White Lotus Sect.

It can also be proved from the side that there are inextricable connections between the White Lotus Sect and Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Xuan could think of this, but it was impossible for Lao Zhu not to think of it. He felt very troubled by this matter, but Jin Yiwei could not find Zhu Yunwen's problem during the year he was in Fengyang.

Either it's really okay, or it's hidden very deeply.

Without evidence, Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to be cruel to Zhu Yunwen.

"My dear grandson thinks that relatives must kill each other for profit?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded slightly old.

Zhu Xuan then remembered that Grandpa Huang was already an old man in his seventies. After asking this question, he seemed even more old.

If Zhu Yunwen dared to do this twenty years ago, Jin Yiwei would have gone to the East Palace to catch people.

As I get older, I no longer want to stain my hands with the blood of my loved ones.

"maybe."

Zhu Xuan said: "For example, second brother and I, if second brother wants, I can give it to him. Second brother and I are also relatives."

The expression on Zhu Yuanzhang's face finally softened, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face: "It's better to be a good grandson."

Zhu Xuan sat next to him and asked again: "Did Grandpa Huang think of eldest brother?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed helplessly: "We never imagined that it would be like this."

He didn't really want to face it, let alone see this scene.

Zhu Xuan said: "Maybe it's just a misunderstanding or a coincidence. Brother may not be like that."

"impossible!"

Zhu Yuanzhang whispered: "If what Guaisun said is true and not many people know about the clothes, then it is not a coincidence."

After hearing this, Zhu Xuan could only remain silent.

"My dear grandson, if you were capable in the future, what would you do with your eldest brother?"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised this question again.

Zhu Xuan said: "Unless absolutely necessary, my grandson's hands do not want to be stained with the blood of his relatives. If the eldest brother has always been responsible, the grandson can always ignore him and be a free prince."

What Zhu Yuanzhang wanted was exactly this answer, and he said with satisfaction: "My dear grandson has done a good job, but we are far inferior to you."

Zhu Xuan said softly: "My grandson just doesn't want his relatives to kill each other, but he wants to go to the East Palace to see his elder brother, is that okay?"

"Go!"

Zhu Yuanzhang took his hand with joy and said: "Your brother, we will not deal with it. If this fails, he should be quiet and leave it to you to deal with in the future, but we will keep an eye on him!"

"Thank you, Grandpa Huang. My grandson will go now."

With Zhu Yuanzhang's consent, Zhu Xuan walked outside.
