Cheng Zhifei clasped his fist towards Zhu Houzhao and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Wei Chen will definitely work hard to cultivate and live up to the Emperor's trust."

  Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and said: "I know that you want to be a high official and not be bullied. As long as you work hard, I will definitely seal you a bigger official in the future and make you a superior person. I hope you will not let me down. "

  In the original play, many martial arts successes and failures were learned in one go, and the talent was so good that it seemed like it was going to fail, but Zhu Houzhao didn't mind cultivating him.

  "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will." Cheng Zheng heard the words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he spoke respectfully towards Zhu Houzhao again.

  Zhu Houzhao said, "That's it, go down with Eunuch Sun and let Eunuch Sun arrange accommodation for you."

  "Yes, Wei Chen retire." Cheng Cheng heard the words, bowed down to Zhu Houzhao again, and said respectfully.

  Of course, these etiquettes were taught to him by Duke Sun before he came.

  "The slave retire."

  Eunuch Sun also bowed to Zhu Houzhao and left with Cheng Zhifei and Cheng Huan.

  Zhu Houzhao looked at the backs of several people leaving, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he started to practice directly in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

  Time flows like water.

  Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

  During these three days, because of Zhu Houzhao's orders, Xichang, Shenhou Mansion, and Hulong Villa acted simultaneously to investigate the person behind the assassination of the emperor.

  The whole capital was full of turmoil.

  Cao Zhengchun of the East Factory, after hearing the news, secretly said that he had the opportunity to atone for his sins, and then the entire East Factory also moved.

  What made Cao Zhengchun excited was that he really found useful clues, and he couldn't wait to come to Zhu Houzhao to ask for credit. .

Chapter 19

  "Slave Cao Zhengchun, see the emperor!"

  After Cao Zhengchun entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he quickly bowed to Zhu Houzhao respectfully.

  Originally, not long after Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, Cao Zhengchun did not pay much attention to Zhu Houzhao, but after these few days, Cao Zhengchun did not dare to be disrespectful to Zhu Houzhao any more.

  In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair, glanced at Cao Zhengchun calmly, and said lightly, "Be flat, you came to see me, what's the matter?"

  "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

  Cao Zhengchun thanked Zhu Houzhao, straightened up, and continued: "If you go back to the emperor, the servants came this time to report to the emperor about Princess Lixiu's assassination of the emperor behind the scenes."

  "Oh? Did Dongchang find out about the instigator behind the scenes?" Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised when he heard Cao Zhengchun's words.

  In the past three days, Xichang, Shenhou Mansion, and Hulong Villa were all in action, but no useful information was found. Unexpectedly, Cao Zhengchun's Dongchang found out first.

  It seems that Cao Zhengchun and Dongchang are still somewhat capable.

  Cao Zhengchun said with a smile: "It's all thanks to the saint, Hongfu. During the investigation process, the Dongchang factory guard inadvertently learned from a Honglu temple guard that he went to relieve the queen on the night when the queen mother was taken captive. When I was there, I accidentally caught a glimpse of a meeting between Karasuma and a young man."

  "The servant looked for someone. According to the description of the guard, he drew the face of the young man. Then, through the comparison of the pictures, he searched the capital and finally found the young man who met Karasuma. The emperor knows who the young man is. ?"

  Speaking of the latter, Cao Zhengchun seemed to be a little carried away, and even sold off Zhu Houzhao.

  Zhu Houzhao glanced at Cao Zhengchun and said coldly, "What nonsense? Who is that young man?"

  Seeing Zhu Houzhao's face, Cao Zhengchun was slightly startled, and quickly said: "If you go back to the emperor, the young man turned out to be a prince from the side of the royal family of the Dayuan Empire, whose name is Huo Du."

  "You said Huo Du?" Hearing Cao Zhengchun's words, Zhu Houzhao raised his brows slightly and asked back.

  Before Zhu Houzhao traveled to the world of comprehensive martial arts, he had seen many movies and TV series, but he had a deep impression of Huo Du, but they were all bad impressions.

  Cao Zhengchun respectfully said: "Yes, the emperor, it is Huo Du, have you heard of him?"

  Zhu Houzhao said lightly: "I heard a little. Did someone bring it?"

  Cao Zhengchun said respectfully: "It has been brought, and it is being held outside the hall."

  Zhu Houzhao said coldly: "Bring it here, I want to see if this Huo Du has eaten the courage of an ambitious leopard!"

  "Yes", Cao Zhengchun responded respectfully to Zhu Houzhao, then went outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation and brought Huo Du, who was being held by a pair of guards in the East Factory, into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

  Although Huo Du was escorted by Cao Zhengchun into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, there was no fear on his face, and his eyes still looked at Zhu Houzhao on the dragon chair with some presumptuousness.

  "Presumptuous, I didn't kneel down when I saw the emperor, and even dared to be rude to the emperor!"

  Seeing this scene, Cao Zhengchun snorted coldly and kicked Huo Du's leg at the same time.

  "thump!"

  Huo Du's strength was far from that of Cao Zhengchun, but now he was restrained. Cao Zhengchun kicked him off guard and immediately fell to his knees on the ground.

  "Bastard! How dare you treat this prince like this, this prince will not let you go!"

  Huo Du scolded Cao Zhengchun while struggling to stand up.

  Cao Zhengchun, however, ignored him at all, and put his hand directly on Huo Du's shoulder, making him unable to stand up.

  "Damn it, let me go!"

  Feeling the pressure from Cao Zhengchun's hands, Huo Du suddenly felt his body stiff and could barely move, and scolded Cao Zhengchun again.

  Huo Du saw that Cao Zhengchun was ignoring him, so he turned to Zhu Houzhao and shouted loudly: "Emperor Ming, I am the prince of the Dayuan Empire, how can you treat me like this? Do you want to provoke the relationship between Dayuan and Daming? war?"

  Zhu Houzhao sneered when he heard the words: "I have no fear of war! I, I have no fear! If the Dayuan Empire really wants to fight, then fight it! What's more, if the two countries really start a war, the culprit will be It's just you!"

  Huo Du saw that Zhu Houzhao was young and knew that Zhu Houzhao had just ascended the throne, thinking in his heart that he could use war as a threat to scare Zhu Houzhao.

  However, I never thought that Zhu Houzhao's attitude would be so tough!

  After a brief pause, Huo Du argued strongly: "This prince doesn't understand what Emperor Ming means, I just came to visit you in Daming, but you arrested me for no reason, and the person who caused the war became my prince. ?"

  Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "Is it really just for fun? The Izumo envoys first kidnapped the queen mother, and then assassinated me, but you have a close relationship with the Izumo envoys. How should you explain this?"

  Huo Du defended: "I just met the minister of the Izumo Kingdom as a prince of the Dayuan Empire. It's not wrong, right? How do I know that the envoys will be fake?"

  Hearing Huo Du's words, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help showing a sarcastic expression, and said lightly, "Who told you that the Izumo envoy is a fake?"

  Huo Du heard the words, and his heart suddenly jumped. He was quick in his mouth just now, but he missed it.

  "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Tiedan, Marquis Zhuge, and the Governor of Xichang Yu, ask to see you outside the hall."

  At this moment, the respectful voice of the eunuch on duty sounded at the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. .

Chapter 20

  Zhu Houzhao said lightly, "Let them in."

  Hearing Zhu Houzhao's voice, the eunuch on duty hurriedly went out and summoned Zhu to ignore the three.

  After a while, Zhu Shishi, Zhuge Zhengga and Yu Huatian had already entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

  "Chen Zhu ignores it."

  "My minister Zhuge is right with me."

  "Chen Yu Huatian."

  "See the emperor!"

  After the three of them entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, they bowed down to Zhu Houzhao at the same time, and said respectfully.

  Zhu Houzhao said lightly: "Pings."

  "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

  Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, the three of them thanked Zhu Houzhao and stood up at the same time.

  Zhu Houzhao looked at the three of them and asked aloud, "Why did you come to me? Have you ever found out who was behind the abduction of the Queen Mother and the assassination of me?"

  The three looked at each other, and in the end Zhu ignored him and took a step forward and said respectfully, "Reporting to the emperor, we just heard that Director Cao of the East Factory has a clue, so we want to ask the Director Cao for some evidence, and then we will find out what's behind the scenes together. The real murderer."

  Hearing this, Cao Zhengchun smiled and said, "Since this matter is a clue found by our East Factory, we will naturally be responsible for it to the end, and we won't be able to confine Uncle Huang, Marquis Zhuge and Governor Yu. Moreover, the miscellaneous family has already found it. The man behind the abduction of the Queen Mother and the assassination of the Emperor."

  Hearing Cao Zhengchun's words, Zhu ignored the three people's eyes and blinked slightly.

  After a pause, Zhuge Zheng and I asked Cao Zhengchun, "I don't know who the Governor Cao found, who is the person behind the scenes?"

  Cao Zhengchun held the orchid finger, pointed at Huo Du next to him, and said with a smile, "Hey, this is the Prince Huo Du of the Dayuan Empire."

  When the three of Yu Huatian heard the words, they all looked at Huo Du.

  Huo Du immediately retorted: "Nonsense, there is no such thing at all, this prince sees that you are simply asking for credit, so you have arrested this prince as a scapegoat? Are you not afraid, it caused the conflict between the Dayuan Empire and the Daming Empire? When the time comes, will the Emperor Ming ask you to be a scapegoat?"

  When Huo Du was questioned by Zhu Houzhao before, he didn't think of how to answer for a while.

  However, Zhu ignored the arrival of the three and the dialogue between them and Cao Zhengchun, but it made Huo Du think of a way to deal with it, and immediately argued loudly.

  When Cao Zhengchun heard Huo Du's words, he hurriedly bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the servants will never dare to arbitrarily find someone to take the blame for the sake of taking credit. Please ask the Emperor to investigate."

  Zhu Houzhao said lightly: "Get up, I will naturally investigate."

  "Thank you, Your Majesty," Cao Zhengchun heard Zhu Houzhao's words, thanked Zhu Houzhao, and then stood up again and stood aside.

  Zhu Houzhao said: "Director Cao, tell your uncle, Zhuge Shenhou, and Governor Yu about the situation you have found in your East Factory, and let them three refer to it as well."

  "Yes", although Cao Zhengchun was reluctant in his heart, he had no choice at this time. He agreed, and then told the three of Zhu Ignoring the situation of the Dongchang investigation.

  After Cao Zhengchun finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhu and ignored the three, and said lightly, "Uncle Huang, Marquis of God, and Governor of Rain, what do you think?"

  Zhu ignored it and said, "Although the evidence from Governor Cao can prove that Prince Huodu has indeed had contact with Karasuma, it cannot fully prove that Prince Huodu is the man behind the scenes. We still need to investigate carefully."

  When Cao Zhengchun heard Zhu's ignoring words, his face changed slightly, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he held back and did not say anything.

  Huo Du's eyes showed a bit of pride.

  Zhu Houzhao heard the words noncommittal, looked at Zhu Zhuge and asked me, "What do you think?"

  Zhuge Zheng I pondered for a moment and said: "Uncle Huang is right, but Prince Huodu has a lot of suspicion. May I ask Prince Huodu, since he is visiting the envoys of other countries normally, why should he go there secretly at night, and Are you deliberately avoiding other people's sights?"

  Huo Du's eyes flashed slightly, and he defended in his mouth: "This prince has no intention of sleeping and happened to pass by, so I went to visit. As for avoiding others, there is no such thing. If this prince deliberately avoided others, how could he be caught? Anyone see?"

  Zhuge Zheng I shook his head slightly and said, "Prince Huo Du's words seem reasonable, but after careful scrutiny they are completely untenable."

  Huo Du was about to continue arguing about something, but Zhu Houzhao interrupted by waving his hand, then looked at Yu Huatian, and said lightly, "What do you think, Director Yu?"

  Yu Huatian said coldly: "It's better to be in vain! Since Huo is suspected, we should investigate him. As long as the person is handed over to our West Factory, within a day, the minister promises to investigate the matter!"
