Chapter 769: Discussing Things in Zuihua Pavilion
"Your Highness, he has indeed been going to Zuihua Pavilion more often these days. After all, he is having a great time there. I will take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince there now."

He Fengyu dared not be negligent in any way.

Zhu Han was respectful to Zhu Biao. As his disciples, they naturally had oxygenated blood samples. Zhu Biao nodded slightly and said nothing more.

The carriage then arrived at Zuihua Pavilion.

At this time, Zhu Han was in the elegant pavilion, discussing things with Yueru.

All the information that Zhu Han had asked Yueru to investigate before had already been fully investigated. What Zhu Han had not expected was that the private situation of the officials in Yingtian Prefecture was indeed not optimistic.

In particular, a few officials even thought of arranging their families to Yingtian Prefecture to find them good jobs.

This was because he was thinking of using his official position to gain a firm foothold in Yingtian Prefecture.

"After these officials came to Zuihua Pavilion and drank a few glasses of wine, they became arrogant and said anything they wanted. It's really sad."

"But don't worry, Your Majesty. We have kept all this extremely secret and will not let anyone know."

As for the previous situations, Yueru had actually been prepared from the very beginning.

The girls he trained were all skilled in chess, and they could perform well even when drinking and having fun with those dignitaries.

It is natural that I can get some information from them with ease.

When Zhu Han heard Yueru's words, he curled his lips into a faint smile.

He picked up the wine glass beside him and took a sip.

In fact, for Yueru, it is a very difficult thing to achieve success in Yingtian Prefecture.

Today, his Zuihua Pavilion can gain a foothold in Yingtian Prefecture, all thanks to Zhu Han's help in gathering some information for Zhu Han, which is also within his ability.

Zhu Han actually didn't have much hope for these officials in the court, but he didn't expect that they would dare to be so outspoken in private.

"You have to be careful with these people in Zuihua Pavilion. If any news is leaked out, I'm afraid that you and I will be affected."

Zhu Han has always been cautious in doing things.

Although he trusted the women in Zuihua Pavilion, he was inevitably affected by them.

Women are most easily seduced by love.

Yue Ru had already seen clearly what Zhu Han said. He listened to Zhu Han and nodded quickly. He had already made full preparations for these women in Zuihua Pavilion.

Therefore, even if someone wanted to redeem them at a high price, they would eventually be stopped by Yueru.

What they value is not money, but a place to live.

Zhu Han is the person who can truly provide them with these, in order to find out a lot of information for Zhu Han as soon as possible.

Yueru really put in a lot of effort.

"What should the prince do next? After all, the rumors in Yingtian Prefecture have begun to spread slowly."

"The support for the Prince of Yan and the Crown Prince among these officials seems to be getting stronger and stronger, and some of them have already begun to defect."

Ru naturally devoted herself to Zhu Han, but now she can't stand other people's meddling in Zhu Han's affairs.

Zhu Han smiled as he heard Yueru's words.

He gently picked up the wine glass beside him and took a sip of the still good Zuihua Wine.

The mellow taste of Zuihua Niang can be felt from the tip of your tongue all the way to your taste buds, and you can feel the mellow experience brought by the wine.

Zhu Han no longer cared about the current concerns in Yingtian Prefecture.

Even if he was an official, no matter how important it was, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he still occupied a certain position.

In fact, the struggle between Zhu Biao and Zhu Di had already been obvious in the court.

Zhu Han usually turns a blind eye to them, simply because he wants to wait for the critical moment to come so that they can show their talents.

"You don't need to worry about this kind of thing anymore. Keep gathering information if any problems arise."

"Find out about those officials and get some key clues. They will help me get rid of them in the future."

Yueru nodded repeatedly.

Just then, there was a knock on the door and Yueru quickly got up.

He looked at Zhu Han in surprise, as this was the place Zhu Han visited most often.

Yueru will also stay with Zhu Han.

Zhu Han probably thinks that all the people in this elegant pavilion are his friends. Zhu Han nodded slightly at Yue Ru.

Yueru then walked to the door, opened it and saw He Fengyu and Zhu Biao. Yueru bowed quickly and was very humble.

"Please come in, my lords."

Yueru is extremely beautiful, and her every frown and smile can be captivating.

Zhu Biao paused for a moment, then followed He Fengyu into the elegant pavilion.

Yueru closed the door considerately and left in a hurry. Zhu Biao sat next to Zhu Han.

"I never thought that the emperor's uncle would be so leisurely and elegant. It seems that he has developed feelings for the girl in Zuihua Pavilion."

Since Zhu Han returned to Yingtian Prefecture, he has often been alone and has no interest in the nobles and ladies in Yingtian Prefecture.

Normally, Zhu Yuanzhang always wanted to take a concubine for Zhu Han, but was always rejected by Zhu Han.

The main way officials interacted with each other was by giving each other wives and concubines, but Zhu Han was not very interested in this, leaving those officials at a loss as to where to start.

"Your Highness, you are joking. I only want to devote myself to the Ming Dynasty. I never care about these personal affairs. Your Highness, please stop joking."

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Han with interest, and was relieved to see that he really had no feelings for Yueru.

He just saw that Yue Ru's eyes were full of charm, and he was worried that Zhu Han would be bound by the love of a woman.

Now seeing Zhu Han's determination, everyone couldn't help but admire him. Most men really couldn't resist the temptation of this woman.

"Uncle, you are really different from ordinary people, but how come you have time to come to Zuihua Pavilion today? I heard that you are really ordinary these days."

"Could it be that he wants to build good relations with the ministers in the court? I heard that Zuihua Pavilion is the place where officials in Yingtian Prefecture come and go most frequently."

Zhu Han took a look and Zhu Biao shook his head slightly.

He and Zhu Yuanzhang had already discussed the affairs of the court, and as for Zuihua Pavilion, he simply said that he came there to have fun.

Zhu Han recommended the Zuihua Niang he had to Zhu Biao.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you may not know that the Zuihua Wine in Zuihua Pavilion has a mellow taste and is even better than the daughter's red wine that was produced four or five years ago. I am just greedy for it." Zhu Han said and asked He Fengyu to pour a glass for Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao gently picked up the glass and tasted it for a moment. Sure enough, his eyes lit up.

"It is extraordinary that the emperor's uncle really knows how to enjoy this Drunken Flower Wine. However, I came to see the emperor's uncle today because I have something important to do. Is this Drunken Flower Pavilion safe?"

Zhu Biao said this and glanced at the door.

He Fengyu quickly stood up and walked out, and began to stand guard at the door conscientiously.

Zhu Han looked at Zhu Biao with a smile on his face. Zhu Biao had been trained to be so vigilant by him that Zhu Han had some expectations for him.

Everyone in Yingtian Prefecture knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has grown a lot in a short period of time. Even if other officials want to curry favor with him, they will give up halfway.

This was not only because Zhu Han had a good education, but more importantly, Zhu Biao kept himself out of trouble and had no private dealings with these officials.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang investigated him later, he would remain clean.

"Your Highness, speak boldly. No one here will hear you."

Zhu Han spoke generously and poured a glass of wine for Zhu Biao, and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation.

Zhu Biao also told Zhu Han about his meeting with Empress Ma without reservation. Now Empress Ma will definitely suppress Zhu Di.

Even though there were no problems in the account books at the Ministry of Revenue, Zhu Han still planned to investigate the money thoroughly.

"My mother told me that no matter what happens in the court, there will still be people who are against me, but as long as I think about the people of the world, I can put these things aside. He will definitely clear the obstacles for me."

Zhu Han nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

Empress Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang had supported each other for so many years, and she understood Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts best.

No one can match Zhu Biao's position in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

Empress Ma also had a lot of praise for Zhu Biao, the crown prince.

Officials in the court were even more aware of Empress Ma's thoughts, but they were all on Zhu Biao, even if they wanted to impeach Zhu Biao.

Queen Ma was naturally the first person to rush out and seek justice for Zhu Biao.

This time, Zhu Di had almost made Zhu Biao lose face. No matter when this happened, it would be impossible for him to have a good beginning and a good end.

As Zhu Biao spoke, his expression became more complicated.

"I didn't expect that many officials in the court have come to Queen Mother to speak well of my fourth brother. They are doing this just to get Queen Mother to support my fourth brother."

"But if these fathers knew, it would be a capital crime, and they really are not afraid of being implicated."

The many years of affection between Empress Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang would naturally not be neglected by anyone, but they could not withstand the eloquence of those people.

If something was really said in front of Empress Ma, it would definitely have a significant impact on Empress Ma and Zhu Biao.

Fortunately, Empress Ma was also a sensible person. She knew better what the Ming Dynasty needed. Even though Zhu Di did have some strength, he was just a prince who had just begun to show his potential.

In Empress Ma's heart, Zhu Biao had always been trained by Zhu Yuanzhang as the next emperor.

No matter what, no one can replace this matter.

That's why Zhu Han could rest assured, but Zhu Biao's words also made Zhu Han alert.

"Since this has happened, Your Highness the Crown Prince must be more cautious in the future. If any officials continue to disrupt our plans, they must be severely punished."

"Let them know that it is not their turn to point fingers at the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty will make the arrangements for the princes."

Zhu Han's words were powerful and gave Zhu Biao a lot of confidence. He listened to Zhu Han's words, nodded repeatedly, and his heart was full of emotion.

"What the emperor's uncle said is indeed correct. Fortunately, my father doesn't take these things too seriously now, otherwise I would have made a lot of jokes in front of him."

"No matter how much the officials in the court want to control him, it is impossible. But my fourth brother did pay the full amount of money on the military order this time. Father favors him so much. I wonder if he has any special regard for him..."

Zhu Biao's eyes became more and more complicated, and he saw the officials' little thoughts.

He had actually seen it clearly a long time ago.

But I didn't expect that when they set their sights on me, they had such serious plans in mind.

He couldn't even imagine that if he was not careful, he might lose his position as the crown prince. Zhu Han didn't take it seriously.

He looked at Zhu Biao seriously.

"Your Highness, just follow what I say and try your best to improve your status in the court. You don't have to care about other people's ideas."

Zhu Biao listened to Zhu Han's words and nodded repeatedly. He understood it very well.

Zhu Han paid so much for him along the way, and even at the most critical moment, Zhu Han never gave up on him.

Now he teaches him many things diligently.

No matter how much the officials in the court tried to sow discord, they could not change this fact.

"Your Highness, please rest assured. Although the money from the Prince of Yan has been deposited into the account book, if the money cannot be found in the treasury, it will be a crime of deceiving the king."

As soon as Zhu Han finished speaking, Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Han in shock. It seemed that an answer was about to come out in his mind, and there was a bit more fear in his eyes.

"Could it be that this is actually a scam?"

When Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Han, he urgently needed an answer, but Zhu Han just shook his head gently, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

The mellow aroma of the Drunken Flower Wine seemed to have concealed a lot of the hostility in him.

"Many things in the court have already been unexpected, but this one is really a crime of deceiving the emperor."

"Begin an investigation. His Majesty will naturally have some clues. The Royal Guards have already been dispatched, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should know what His Majesty means."

Zhu Han's words had already made everything clear, and Zhu Biao's face turned pale as expected.

He never expected that there were so many things he didn't know. Zhu Di's money was sent to the Ministry of Revenue, but no signature was obtained.

Instead, he deliberately said in the court that he had already sent the money to the Ministry of Revenue, and that those officials had already stood on Zhu Di's side.

How could this not arouse Zhu Yuanzhang's fear and suspicion?

"I never thought that my uncle would be the winner in this court battle. I can't imagine what a powerful opponent you would be if you didn't stand on my side."

Zhu Biao was still in shock, and every move made by Zhu Han made him tremble in his heart.

Zhu Han smiled faintly, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

When looking at Zhu Biao, his eyes were full of sincerity.

He raised his hand and gently patted Zhu Biao's shoulder, giving him the same instruction he had done in his childhood.

"I watched you grow up, kid. Your father and I both know how good you are. How could we let you lose everything?"
