Family ancestor Zhu Chongba: What happened to getting your daughter pregnant?
Chapter 154 Confrontation
Minghe Hall.
"Second brother, what do you mean by this? I don't understand, little brother..."
Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Zhu Yunxi pretended to be confused, turned to look at Zhu Yunwen with a smile, and asked slowly, still looking listless.
In the eyes of others, he seemed not to have heard the profound meaning behind Zhu Yuanzhang's words.
Wang Defa, who was standing aside, couldn't help but frown slightly, looking at the serious-looking Zhu Yunwen and the sleepy Zhu Yunxi, feeling vaguely worried in his heart.
To be honest, in his heart, he had always supported Zhu Yunwen in taking the position of grandson, because Zhu Yunwen was easy to talk to and was usually polite to servants like them.
But since the rise of Zhu Yunxi, his inner thoughts have undergone extreme changes, and he feels that Zhu Yunxi seems to be the more suitable candidate.
The master is tough, and only minions like them can be tough. If the future emperor is Zhu Yunwen, who has a weak personality, he really doesn't know if this new master can suppress those foreign vassal kings who are eyeing him.
"Do you dare to say that the people who attacked the Lu family were not ordered by you?!"
"And Xie Linzhou! Did you deliberately lead Cao Guogong to suspect that he was a traitor lurking in the court?! Otherwise, why did he recruit you as soon as you went to prison?!"
"What on earth did you say in his ear at that time, and why did he immediately admit that he was the traitor after hearing what you said?!"
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Yunxi coldly and asked with annoyance.
"Second brother! Where did you start talking about this?! Why did I send people to attack the Lu family?! I was also shocked when I heard that Lu Wenbo was the one who died. Moreover, Lu Wenbo and I have no grudges in the past and have no grudges in recent days. Why kill him?!"
"There is also Xie Linzhou. The reason why he refused to admit it was because he was worried that once he confessed, the whole Xie family would be implicated, so he was hesitant."
"My little brother just promised him that if he is willing to tell the truth, he can speak for him in front of Grandpa Huang to preserve the bloodline of the Xie family and prevent the whole family from being executed!"
After listening to Zhu Yunwen's words, Zhu Yunxi's face changed drastically. He glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise, and said to Zhu Yunwen with an innocent look on his face. His eyebrows were full of disappointment at the brothers killing each other.
"you are lying!"
"I'm sure you control everything secretly! Even if you can hide it from everyone, you can't hide it from me!"
Zhu Yunwen snorted coldly and said with an angry look.
"What do you mean? Even Grandpa Huang has no doubts about this. You believe me unconditionally. According to your words, does it mean that Grandpa Huang is stupid and can be deceived by others at will?!"
Zhu Yunxi frowned, looked at Zhu Yunqi dissatisfied and asked.
"Grandpa Huang, my grandson didn't say that, and he definitely didn't mean it!"
Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly bowed his hands to Zhu Yuanzhang and explained nervously.
"enough!"
"Don't involve me in the matter between you two brothers!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly with a straight face.
Obviously, he had no intention of getting involved in the debate between the two. Although he might not believe Zhu Yunxi's words, since he chose to summon Zhu Yunxi, he also wanted to see how Zhu Yunxi responded.
In fact, this is another test for Zhu Yunxi!
One is to test Zhu Yunxi's adaptability, and the other is to see if this grandson who suddenly became outstanding has any suspicion!
"That's not right, second brother, the place where Xie Linzhou was interrogated was in Jinyiwei Prison. Only Jinyiwei was present at that time. How did you know so detailedly?!"
"Do you even know what Xie Linzhou and I whispered?!"
However, at this moment, Zhu Yunxi suddenly showed doubts on his face, looked at Zhu Yunzhen in confusion, and asked thoughtfully.
Switch from defense to offense and focus on the enemy!
Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen was shocked. He glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, and his expression changed suddenly!
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon couch, also suddenly lost his expression!
"I also need an explanation."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunwen and said in a deep voice.
"Grandpa Huang, my grandson just heard that when Xie Linzhou was executed, someone discussed the matter, and my grandson also overheard some of it."
"Perhaps...perhaps the Jinyi guards who were present at the time mentioned the matter to others."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang nervously and explained slowly, with a hint of panic that could not be concealed between his eyebrows.
"It's only been a long time, and the second brother already knows everything?!"
"I really don't know if it's someone in Jinyiwei who talks too much, or whether it's because the second brother has great hands and eyes and knows everything!"
Zhu Yunxi sneered and said calmly.
"Third brother! Don't spit on others!"
"Grandpa Huang, there is absolutely no such thing! My grandson really overheard it!"
Zhu Yunwen scolded Zhu Yunxi angrily, and then explained to Zhu Yuanzhang in panic.
"That's enough! I don't want to hear you arguing about these gossipy things!"
"Yunxi has already responded to your suspicions, what else do you have to say?!"
"If not, then you can retreat!"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice, his eyes full of disappointment.
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and sneered in his heart.
He knew that although Zhu Yuanzhang was blaming him, in his heart he still wanted to protect Zhu Yunwen. Otherwise, just being suspected of forming a clique with the Jin Yiwei would be enough to depose Zhu Yunwen, the emperor's grandson!
"Grandson..."
"Grandson...no...grandson has one more thing to ask!"
Zhu Yunwen's face was full of panic, hesitating, and then his eyes suddenly lit up and he said loudly.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak, but raised his hand to signal Zhu Yunwen to continue speaking.
"Did Xiao Huan find out about Bei Yuan's secret agent appearing in Kyoto, or did you instigate him to say that?!"
"How is it possible that two groups of people suddenly attacked Jiaofangsi and the Lu family at the same time overnight?! If the person who attacked Jiaofangsi was a Beiyuan spy?! Then who was the person who attacked the Lu family?!"
"Is it true that the Beiyuan army intends to invade our border with the Ming Dynasty?!"
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Yunxi again and asked coldly, with an unprecedented hint of viciousness in his eyes.
This imperial grandson, who had always been reserved and weak-tempered, seemed to have suddenly changed.
"It seems that the second brother is really here for me? Why do you have to doubt everything I do? Are you so unwilling to expect anything from my younger brother?"
"Bei Yuan is ambitious and has always been evil for many years. How can I dare to talk about such a thing?! Ge Chengcheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, was nearby at the time. If you don't believe me, you can ask him!"
"But even if Ge Cheng tells the truth, the second brother may think that he was instigated by me. It doesn't matter. Grandpa Huang has sent an order to Peiping to ask the fourth uncle to find out the matter. By then, it will be up to the public to decide whether it is true or not!"
"As for who the person who attacked the Lu family was, and whether he was also a spy from Beiyuan, I'm sorry that I can't answer, because I was in the Criminal Department last night and didn't leave until dawn. What happened outside was only heard about later."
"Hasn't Mr. Cao Guo been investigating this matter with his cavalry guards? My second brother should ask him personally then!"
Zhu Yunxi sighed helplessly and said with an innocent face. At the end of the sentence, he shook his head, turned his head and looked away, showing disappointment again.
"You are so eloquent! Why didn't I realize you were so eloquent before?!"
"Grandpa Huang, my grandson is sure that the Beiyuan spy story is absolutely false!"
Zhu Yunwen gritted his teeth, turned around, bowed his hands to Zhu Yuanzhang, and said firmly.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen both fell into silence, because they both felt that there was no need to continue arguing.
Zhu Yunwen did not give any evidence from beginning to end, it was all speculation, and Zhu Yunxi was able to deal with every suspicion with ease and reason.
In this confrontation, even Wang Defa, who had been standing silently by the side, knew very well that Zhu Yunxi was the final winner!
"Your Majesty, Duke Wei is outside seeking an audience."
At this moment, a young eunuch appeared at the door, bowed respectfully and said.
"Xuan."
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly.
Soon, Wei Guogong Xu Huizu walked slowly into the hall.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"
After Xu Huizu entered the palace, he bowed respectfully without squinting his eyes and did not take a second glance at the two emperor's grandsons who were standing and kneeling next to them.
"What's the matter?"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Xu Huizu and asked in a deep voice.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have just received news that Jin Wuwei discovered the traces of Bei Yuan's secret agent when he was tracking him down, and took action."
"However, the other party was very skilled and cunning. They escaped from Kyoto. Although Wei Chen ordered Xiao Huan to personally lead people out of the city to pursue them! But this matter was ultimately the result of Wei Chen's failure to supervise the matter, so I came here to apologize to His Majesty!"
As Xu Huizu said this, he knelt on the ground, showing remorse on his face.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen, who was kneeling next to him, suddenly froze and collapsed on the ground in despair...
