Minghe Hall.

"Let him in."

After a slight hesitation, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly opened his eyes and said softly, his eyebrows still filled with solemnity.

The state affairs had exhausted him physically and mentally. In addition, so many things had happened one after another recently, as well as the final candidate for the grandson, which made him worried.

Soon, as footsteps sounded again, Xu Huizu followed Wang Defa and walked in quickly.

"The humble minister Xu Huizu comes to see His Majesty!"

Xu Huizu bowed respectfully.

"Yungong, why are you here?"

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly sat up and asked softly.

Yungong was Xu Huizu's original name, but because it had the same name as Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson, he changed it to Huizu.

However, as Xu Da's son, Xu Huizu's status in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was not low, and he had been favored by Zhu Yuanzhang since he was a child.

"Your Majesty works hard day and night and serves the people diligently. I am impressed by this, but I still hope that your Majesty will take good care of your dragon body."

"The humble minister is incompetent and unable to share His Majesty's worries. I feel deeply guilty."

Xu Huizu noticed the fatigue on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, bowed and said reproachfully.

"I'm serious. Among all the civil and military officials in this dynasty, you are the most worry-free one for me. You have already done enough to stand out."

"My concerns have nothing to do with you."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, waved his hand, and said slowly.

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty!"

Xu Huizu bowed his hands and said gratefully, but he always felt a little ashamed in his heart.

"Why did you come here this time?"

Zhu Yuanzhang paused and asked slowly.

"Your Majesty is troubled. I shouldn't have disturbed you, but after thinking about something, I finally felt that I should tell your Majesty."

Xu Huizu hesitated for a moment and replied respectfully.

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked while taking the teacup handed to him by Wang Defa.

"As far as Wei Chen knows, Xiaoqi Wei has placed an informant in the Jin Wu Guard..."

Xu Huizu looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang and said cautiously.

Hearing Xu Huizu's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly paused with the teacup in his mouth. Then his face suddenly changed, and he threw the teacup in his hand to the ground in anger!

As the sound of the tea cup breaking came, Xu Huizu and Wang Defa knelt directly on the ground, looking terrified.

On the surface, the Xiaoqiwei's spying in the Jinwu Guards doesn't seem like anything. It's just a struggle for power between the yamen. But if you think about it carefully, you can understand that there is still no escape from the four words "fighting for the heirloom and fighting for the heir apparent!"

Because the commander of the Cavalry Guard is Li Jinglong, and Li Jinglong is Zhu Yunwen’s man!

"Your Majesty, please calm down. We have sent people to conduct a detailed investigation. Once the investigation is complete, we will immediately leave it to Your Majesty to make a decision!"

Xu Huizu lowered his head and said nervously.

"They are getting more and more ridiculous! How dare they do these little tricks under my nose! It's simply unreasonable!"

"After you find out, there is no need to report it to me anymore. It will be dealt with directly by military law!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said coldly, his eyes full of anger.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Xu Huizu hurriedly bowed his hands and replied respectfully.

"Get up."

After Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time, he took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, raised his hand to Xu Huizu and said.

Xu Huizu agreed and stood up slowly, tremblingly.

"Yungong, what do you think of Yunxi?"

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly looked at Xu Huizu and asked abruptly.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Xu Huizu's heart tightened, and a flash of shock flashed between his eyebrows.

"His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Third Emperor is very knowledgeable and talented. Not only is he known as the most talented person in Kyoto, he is also known as a chess master. Now he can actually see some talent in business, which is really unexpected."

"But as Wei Chen said, no one expected it. Wei Chen was naturally a little surprised, because Wei Chen has never had much contact with the princes and grandsons, so he doesn't know His Highness the Third Emperor and Grandson. It's hard to say."

Xu Huizu smiled bitterly and said embarrassedly.

Hearing Xu Huizu's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head at first, but soon smiled and did not continue to ask further questions. After a few words of greeting, he asked Xu Huizu to step aside.

Xu Huizu couldn't wait to say goodbye and left Minghe Hall.

Because he knew in his heart that the words His Majesty asked just now must be related to the position of grandson. If he said too much, he might be in trouble, so he could only hide.

Not long after Xu Huizu left, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong was also summoned to the Minghe Hall, but was scolded by Zhu Yuanzhang and given a few tactful warnings.

On that day, several members of the Jinwu Guards suddenly left the Jinwu Guards for various reasons. They either reported long-term illness or were dismissed from the military due to mistakes. In short, they never appeared in Kyoto again.

Zhu Yunxi's murder of the son of the Minister of Punishment has finally come to an end.

And Zhu Yunxi also became the biggest winner. He seemed to have escaped the sanction of murder by luck, but he was the one who secretly benefited the most, perfectly interpreting the word "sitting and profiting"!

...

Jiaofang Division.

In the backyard room, Cao Yan was lying listlessly on the table, clutching a wine bottle with blurred eyes, and his whole face had turned red from excessive drinking.

Just as Zhu Yunxi had promised him at the beginning, the entire Jiaofang Division was not implicated at all. Originally, he had tried every means to distance himself from the relationship. He even thought that Zhu Yunxi was going to be in trouble this time.

But he didn't expect that Zhu Yunxi not only kept his position as grandson, but also made a great contribution in disguise, eradicating a scum who brought harm to the people, and uncovered a lot of corrupt officials!

This result completely exceeded all his expectations.

Now he has begun to regret not saying more good things to excuse Zhu Yunxi. At least he should have said that Cai Pingjin's death was his own fault.

What worried him even more was the fact that he was King Yan's spy in Kyoto. He didn't know how Zhu Yunxi would deal with him in the future.

Now, he is really in a dilemma. How to choose in the future has become his biggest worry.

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a subordinate rushed into the side room quickly, looking panicked.

"What are you doing in such a panic?!"

"Aren't you allowed to disturb me?!"

Cao Yan was startled, and while scolding, he threw the wine bottle in his hand directly towards the men at the door.

His men were also taken aback and hurriedly moved aside subconsciously, but he forgot that there were two people following him!

Seeing the wine bottle rolling in the air and hitting a young man with a chuckle who was about to step in!

At this moment, a red figure passed over the young man like lightning, and slapped the flying wine bottle away with one palm, hitting the ground heavily. There was a loud cracking sound, and the wine in the bottle splashed everywhere. !

Cao Yan hesitated for a moment and looked intently. Then he couldn't help but look frightened. He stood up and knelt on the ground with a precarious plop!

"This official deserves to die!"

"I didn't know that when His Highness arrived, he was not welcomed from afar!"

Cao Yan knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully, his face full of self-reproach, and the trace of drunkenness disappeared in an instant, and he was frightened!

The visitors were none other than Zhu Yunxi and Hong Yuan!

"Master Cao is so elegant that he hides here alone to drink secretly."

As Zhu Yunxi spoke, he slowly walked into the door, went straight to the table where Cao Yan was sitting just now, and took a seat. He looked at the jug of wine and the slightly messy dishes on the table, and shook his head with a smile.

"His Royal Highness was joking, your Majesty was just...just..."

"I didn't know His Highness was outside the door just now, so I bumped into His Highness. Please forgive me..."

Cao Yan's face was full of panic and he spoke incoherently.

"Don't be nervous. I'm just passing by Jiaofangsi. I heard that Mr. Cao has been frightened recently and even stopped doing business with Jiaofangsi, so I came here to see you."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said slowly.

Since Cai Pingjin's case has been settled, the Jiaofang Division has also lifted the ban. However, Cao Yan was upset and did not choose to open the business immediately.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness..."

Cao Yan's face was slightly pale, and he said hesitantly, his face was full of tension, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.

"Any more wine?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled, raised his hand to signal Cao Yan to stand up, and then asked lightly.

"Yes! Yes..."

Cao Yan nodded hurriedly in reply, and immediately ordered his men to clean up the messy table, then prepared a new table of food and wine, and waited respectfully aside, with his head lowered and at a loss.

Zhu Yunxi's sudden visit was completely unexpected, and he could not guess Zhu Yunxi's purpose...
