I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 659 The Temptation of the King of Han

After hearing what the two said, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly burst out laughing.

Those who laugh are leaning forward and back together, laughing so much that they almost burst into tears.

"You people, you really listened to the wind and rain, and checking the guards in the world is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. How did it get into your mouth, and it became a death talisman that you can't survive.

Where did you hear that the real purpose of checking the guards is to clean up Jianwen's old ministers. "

The two looked at each other, but chose silence at the same time.

It is impossible for them to believe Zhu Gaoxu's words just based on his words.

In contrast, they trusted them more, helped them arrange their identities, helped them enter the capital, and there was the mysterious man in the court who told them this secret.

This kind of thing that may expose the benefactor, they will not say it even if they are killed.

"I also ask His Highness the King of Han to forgive me. The grassroots cannot say the source of this news."

Zhu Gaoxu sighed slightly in his heart,
"Brother Huang has the foresight! It seems that it is really not that easy to get those guys with ulterior motives out of their mouths!"

But Zhu Gaoxu still asked unwillingly,

"Haven't you ever thought that the person who told you the news is actually using you to deliberately provoke the relationship between you and His Majesty?
You were being used as a gun at this time, don't you know it! "

Yang Suwen shook his head and said,

"Of course we thought about this possibility, but if we didn't have real evidence, how could we take such a big risk and sneak into the capital to find out the truth!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Gaoxu was a little surprised, and asked in a deep voice,

"What evidence do you have?"

Yang Suwen's eyes turned red, and he said in a tone of sadness and resentment,

"Since His Majesty ascended the throne half a year ago, it didn't take long for us family members of former officials to be hunted down by the court.

Although there were similar incidents before, it was not an unreasonable pursuit. The court only stopped after finding those who had threatened the court.

But this time is different, the imperial court seems to be determined this time, and it seems that they want to completely eliminate all of us. Anyone who can be related to the previous court is either arrested or directly killed when they resist. "

"In just a few months, thousands of people were killed and captured.

Almost all our bones and blood have been wiped out. If we hadn't been wandering outside all year round, I'm afraid we would have been murdered long ago. "

"Before, we didn't know what was going on."

"But one day, someone found us and told us the truth about the investigation of Tianxiawei. Only then did we learn that all this was actually caused by His Majesty's order to eliminate dissidents."

"So we came to the capital in spite of everything, in order to find out the truth and let His Majesty give us, the descendants of the former ministers, a way to survive."

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and veins began to appear on his face, obviously he was forcibly enduring the anger in patience.

Zhu Gaoxu was almost dumbfounded for a moment.

He really didn't expect that there were twists and turns hidden in it.

He knew about the investigation of the Tianxia Weisuo. As a prince, although the Weiss' affairs had something to do with him, it didn't have much to do with it, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

So it is not clear whether Li Tian really used this incident as a cover to hunt down Jianwen's old officials everywhere.

For a while, he also fell into a dilemma.

He didn't know whether he should trust Yang Su and ask the two of them.

But based on his understanding of Li Tian, ​​he knew that Li Tian was not the kind of person who behaves one way on the surface and another on the inside.

Although he admits that Li Tian is indeed a man with extraordinary schemes, he doesn't think that Li Tian will be made by all these people to do such a despicable act of persecuting the descendants of Jianwen's former officials.

But if Li Tian didn't do all of this, then who would it be who chased and killed Jianwen's old officials everywhere, and what was their real purpose for doing this.

After a simple analysis, Zhu Gaoxu came up with a tingling guess, that is, there is an invisible big hand in the court that is manipulating all this.

Yang Su asked that this group of former Jianwen ministers might just be a very important part of it.

And their current purpose should be more than that, there is likely to be a bigger conspiracy hidden in it.

This conspiracy may be more serious than killing an emperor.

After learning this, Zhu Gaoxu felt for the first time how dangerous and difficult it is to be an emperor.

He is very fortunate that he did not succeed in seizing power at the beginning, otherwise, he might be the one who is now being plotted against.

With my own brain, just catching a traitor would overturn the car. If I really let myself bear everything that Li Tian has endured, I might not be able to persist day by day.

In fear and shock, he took two steps back again and again, and then regained his footing with Wei Zhao's support.

Whisper a few words to Wei Zhao, and ask him to tell Li Tian the news he found here as soon as possible.

But he didn't leave directly, he still decided to continue acting according to the script Li Tian arranged for him.

After pondering for a long time, he opened his mouth and said,
"If what you said is true, I will definitely report to His Majesty to find out the matter and give you justice!"

"This king can assure you that the people who chased and killed you are definitely not His Majesty's people. If you don't believe me, I will not force you. I believe it will not take long before the truth of this matter will come to light."

The two were skeptical, they were in prison now, and they seemed to have no other choice but to believe Zhu Gaoxu's words.

But no matter how Zhu Gaoxu asked, they always said that they would never disclose any information about the mysterious person until the facts were found out.

This made Zhu Gaoxu very helpless.

In the end, Zhu Gaoxu still decided to use his last trump card.

After sorting out his mood for a while, he solemnly said to the two of them,

"You are old ministers of Jianwen, even if the truth of this matter is found out, you will just return to the previous state.

Haven't you thought about changing your way of life? "

What he said was so vague that both of them were very confused.

"I don't know what His Highness the King of Han means."

Zhu Gaoxu chuckled, and then said with a sinister smile,

"You probably also know the current situation of this king. The military power in his hand was taken away, and he accepted the Jinyiwei, but he was still reduced to the limit of rags.

This king has a desire for revenge, but he has no place to display it. "

"If you are willing to take refuge in this king and serve him, once he regains power in the future, this king will not only release you all, but also mediate among them to release all the 3 people in Saibei back. … "
