Father can be an enemy to the country

Eunuch Wu led his servants to guard outside Wuying Palace, and there were people with swords on guard outside to prevent anyone from eavesdropping on the empire's top secrets in the Golden Palace.

Inside Wuying Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a long time, and suddenly said in alarm: "Damn you brat, you almost took me to the ditch! What are we talking about? How can it involve the country for thousands of years?"

"Isn't everything my father has done serving this purpose?" Zhu Zhen asked with a smile: "Everything must serve this overall situation, right?"

"So you have to let go of small things, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.

"That's what I mean." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "You are really wiser than your father."

"Get out of here." Zhu Yuanzhang spat: "Okay, you can just kill the leader and not ask about the subordinates."

Just when Zhu Zhen was about to express his gratitude happily, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and said: "But there is a problem, that is, those who are coercing us behind the scenes are the culprits! We are not going to spare any of them!"

When it comes to the rest, Boss Zhu is already full of murderous intent and still refuses to accept any grievance.

"And these culprits are bound to the fourth brother." Zhu Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly: "So we must not only ensure that the fourth brother is fine, but also take their lives in a fair and open manner."

"Yes, they are all marquis, and they must die clearly." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Otherwise, the consequences will be endless."

"I understand." Zhu Zhen nodded.

"Then I will give you full responsibility for this case." Zhu Yuanzhang took up his pen and wrote a note, saying: "Use the people in the Criminal Trial Department if you can, and kick them away if you don't want to use them."

"They still have to be used." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "After all, they are good at torture."

"I think you want them to take the blame?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"How does your father know?" Zhu Zhen pretended to make a fuss: "Could it be that Xen also thinks so?"

"This is like father, like son." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily, then he stretched and said with relief: "Finally, I have let go of a big worry."

"..." Zhu Zhen suddenly had a hint of enlightenment and said: "Father, did you guess that my son would come?"

"Of course, who told us to be your father?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a proud smile: "We don't know you yet? As long as I say that I want to kill the fourth child, I can definitely fish you out."

"No, that's your biological son." Zhu Zhen was speechless. He co-authored the bullet and published it in the newspaper, just to show it to himself.

"I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf." Zhu Yuanzhang raised his belt high, feeling that he was so awesome.

"I blame you..." Zhu Zhen almost said a curse word.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"I mean to always support my father." Zhu Zhen said with a smile on his face.

After coming out of Wuying Hall, Zhu Zhen asked the eunuch to go to the imperial prison to deliver the order, but he did not go there immediately.

You have to give people a chance to clean up and wipe their butts, otherwise everyone will be embarrassed.

He then went to Kunning Palace to visit his mother, had a meal with her and Sister Hong, and took a nap before sitting and carrying his father, wandering to the imperial prison.

Apart from his eldest brother, he was the only one who was treated like sitting in a sedan in the Forbidden City. It’s just a pain for those Jingjun who carried the sedan chair...

When they arrived at the gate of the imperial prison, they saw that Mao Xiang had been waiting for him for a long time.

Zhu Zhen got off the carriage, pointed at the four bearers who were sweating profusely and had trembling legs, and said, "Let's take a look."

Ma Sanbao rewarded each of them with a golden bean. The four Jingjun soldiers immediately no longer had pain in their waists and legs, and they felt like they could carry the prince up to the eighth floor in one breath.

"Kowtow to the prince!" Mao Xiang kowtowed and said happily: "I finally hope that the prince will take action. Now I feel at ease."

"I believe you think so, but I don't think others may." Zhu Zhen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, how do you know that the people named Wu are so arrogant that I am first and they are second?" Mao Xiang said decisively: "I heard that Your Majesty is coming to take charge. On the surface, they dare not make irresponsible remarks. But I’m definitely not happy about it.”

"These people are crazy about their ideas." He lowered his voice and said, "I have cooperated with them twice in my humble position. I am always on tenterhooks. Sooner or later, I will be killed by them."

"It's good to be motivated, but the key is how to guide it." Zhu Zhen said with a nonchalant smile.

As he was talking, he entered the prison hall and saw a group of civil and military officials already standing in the hall. Jin Yiwei stands on the left, and the Judgment Department stands on the right.

"Meet the prince!"

After they kowtowed, Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "Let's all get along. Everyone in the Jinyi Guard should know me, and I also know you."

A group of Jin Yiwei officials happily greeted the prince.

"As for the members of the Interrogation Department, this is my first time contacting you." Zhu Zhen looked to the other side and said, "Which one is Wu Yong?"

"My lord, this is a humble position!" an official in his early thirties, wearing a green robe and a patchwork of egrets, bowed to him as he left his shift.

Zhu Zhen looked at Wu Yong and saw that he was born with wolf-like eyebrows and hawk-like eyes, which made people feel frightened. Then he smiled and said: "I have admired this famous name for a long time. Today I finally met Wu Shenxing, who made all the officials tremble with fear."

"Your Majesty, you deserve the award! Your Majesty is the one who is truly famous, and the one who really makes all the civil and military officials tremble with fear!" Wu Yong hurriedly said, cupping his fists.

His words sounded strange, but the way he looked at Zhu Zhen was very enthusiastic, just like a fan seeing his idol.

This kind of person is either an old silver coin who is used to being weird, or he really thinks so...

Zhu Zhen couldn't tell which one he was, so he continued, "You should have received the imperial edict, right? Father ordered me to take full responsibility for this case. From now on, you only need to report to me, and don't bother Father anymore."

The hearts of all the people in the Criminal Court sank. All the officials, whether low-ranking or powerful, could not do without the fact that they could report to the emperor. Once they could not report to the emperor, their power would be greatly reduced.

They all looked at Wu Yong, hoping that the leader could resist, but Wu Yong only looked at Zhu Zhen fanatically, without any intention of objecting.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, this is an imperial case, and it must be reported to the emperor!" Du Yan, the right judge, had to bite the bullet and said.

Zhu Zhen frowned slightly and said, "Don't interrupt when I am not asking questions. Such a basic rule, didn't anyone teach you?"

"Yes, I don't know the rules. Now I know." Du Yan blushed.

"I will report it myself. Do you understand?" Zhu Zhen looked around at the people in the Criminal Court and said.

"Yes." The people in the Criminal Court replied dejectedly. Only Wu Yong still had stars in his eyes and agreed very straightforwardly.

"Yes!"

"..." Seeing this, Mao Xiang was almost depressed to death. He thought, aren't you quite unruly? Didn't you say that you don't listen to anyone except the emperor? Why did you change your nature when the prince came?

It doesn't matter if you change your nature, the cannon I ordered is not only mute, but also stinky. In the eyes of the prince, am I a villain who tells lies with open eyes?
