admiration

Emperor Hongzhi naturally understood the secrets, but seeing Mo Yichi's expression of complete trust, he had no choice but to nod, "Yes."

Xiao Zhijin held his hands in awe and said without hesitation: "Now the master is Mr. Mo, if General Wei Ling really belongs to the royal family, then Mr. Mo's identity is beyond doubt."

For some reason, Emperor Hongzhi didn't heave a sigh of relief, he stared at Xiao Zhijin, always feeling that something was wrong.

Zhu Qiming signaled Jiang Wan to come forward, but Jiang Wan kept her head down and couldn't see his hint at all, so he had to speak out by himself, "It's too hasty to determine his identity based on General Wei Ling alone. ? And that day in the hall, that person kept calling Xiao Qing 'Master'."

"To be honest, I'm also a member of General Wei Ling, usually in charge of one side of power, it's not an exaggeration for that person to call me 'Master'." "Xiao Zhi said without changing his face.

Zhu Qiming seized the loophole, and said: "Master Xiao, General Wei Ling's power should not be underestimated. You are in charge of this power, and now you have entered the palace as an official. You say it has no purpose, I'm afraid no one will trust you."

When Xiao Zhi heard the words, the corner of his mouth twitched, and without waiting for Zhu Qiming to stop him, he said: "Naturally, he is loyal to the master and to the king."

There was nothing wrong with what he said, even Zhu Qiming didn't dare to say who was the master and who was the king, otherwise he would be the one who had trouble.

The hearts of the people at the scene were like a bright mirror. Zhu Qiming's words were definitely not about blood. After thinking about it, everyone sighed silently. Extremely, relying on General Wei Ling alone is indeed a bit hasty, and besides, he misidentified him at the beginning..."

He didn't dare to continue, but just gave Xiao Zhi a complicated look.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "The matter of Xiao Qing... I am sorry for Xiao Qing. I learned that Xiao Qing's parents were deceived by the remnants of the previous dynasty, so they went to Beijing to make trouble. Once they came out, I used my plan and thought of taking advantage of it. Opportunity to remove those people, do not want to still get nothing."

The person in the previous dynasty has always been Emperor Hongzhi, and even the heart disease of the entire Min Dynasty. The death of the former empress was also inseparable from the previous dynasty. Once these words came out, those officials were completely speechless.

On the contrary, Zhu Qiming's face suddenly turned pale. That was done by Mr. Yin. Now that he mentioned the previous court, could it be that that person is the remnant of the previous court?

The original anger was suddenly replaced by fear. If it was exposed, not to mention the throne, even the prince would not be able to keep it. And that person was recommended by Concubine Jing. Zhu Qiming is not stupid. When he understood, Concubine Jing would It's that meticulous work.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was on Mo Yichi, and no one noticed the pale face under Zhu Qiming's hanging head.

The faces of all the officials changed when they heard the words. Everyone knew what happened 18 years ago. Even if they had never experienced it, they could still imagine the bloody scene through hearsay.

The officials talked a lot and did not dare to draw conclusions.

Xiao Zhijin remained silent, waiting for them to finish digesting Emperor Hongzhi's words, and said again: "Your Majesty, the only ones whose identities are doubtful are the minister and His Highness, the minister has the courage to call the minister's parents into the palace, and confess their relatives with blood. , so that doubts can be resolved."

Emperor Hongzhi glanced sideways at Eunuch Li, and Eunuch Li understood, and withdrew to the Zhuangyuan Mansion to pick him up.

Zhu Qiming forced himself to calm down, and then he came back to his senses. Hearing Xiao Zhijin's request, suddenly a ridiculous idea flashed through his mind.

If it was someone else, he must do everything possible to prove that he is the prince, and if he allows it in the future, he can still control the world and order all the officials.But Xiao Zhijin didn't have this ambition. He did his best for Mo Yichi. The two were friends when they were young, so it's understandable to support him like this. However, Xiao Zhijin's various actions completely exceeded this scope. Status can be discarded.

Zhu Qiming had an idea, so he stared at the two of them, the more he paid attention, the more frightened he became.

The matter of the second prince dragged on for 15 years, and he was not in a hurry. Emperor Hongzhi asked the palace servants to prepare a tool for confessing his relatives by dripping blood, and waited for Eunuch Li to return.

Unexpectedly, someone from the palace would move the table, so Eunuch Li ran in, with a flustered expression, but he couldn't hide his joy.

Before he even had time to salute, he rushed to Emperor Hongzhi and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the virtuous king...His Royal Highness the virtuous king..."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand to ask the palace servants to support him, and said displeasedly: "I'm not going to find Xiao Qing's parents, why do you want to ask King Xian?"

After all, Eunuch Li is getting old. After running for a while, he was almost out of breath. He patted his chest to breathe, and before he knelt down, a voice full of regret came from outside the door: "Emotional brother is very good!" They won't mention me, alas, let's go."

Emperor Hongzhi got up suddenly and rushed out. Eunuch Li quickly got up and followed behind him. What he just wanted to say was His Royal Highness Xian Wang, who has returned.

The palace door was not closed, Emperor Hongzhi ran two steps, and saw someone standing by the door with his back turned to him, looking up as if he was looking at the scenery in the palace.

"Brother Su..." Emperor Hongzhi called out.

The man turned his head, grinned and said, "Brother Huang, I'm back." As he spoke, he walked over to hug Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi endured it, and when he approached him, he still couldn't help but slapped his head hard, almost knocking his head, and said angrily: "You have grown up, you've been away for 18 years! "

Ming Shu got slapped, not only didn't get angry, but smiled even more. Emperor Hongzhi was very qualified as an elder brother. He took good care of Ming Shu since he was a child, and he was tolerant in every way when he entered the court. The dark tide is surging.This slap broke up the unfamiliarity of more than ten years.

"Didn't my brother come back?" Ming Shu nodded silently, even though he was not young, in front of Emperor Hongzhi, he would always be that coquettish and playful younger brother.

Mo Yanchi has played tricks on Ming Shu since he was a child, every time he sees him he always has a straight face and no smile, but seeing him now is full of strangeness.

He whispered in Xiao Zhijin's ear, "Mr. is like this?"

"You didn't look like this before." Xiao Zhijin said.

Mo Yanchi glared at him, seeing Ming Shu's gaze, he quickly withdrew his gaze and hung his head guiltily.

But Ming Shu didn't intend to let him go, and after a few officials, he shouted: "It turns out that my nephew is also here, so I can find it easier for the king."

Xiao Zhijin and Mo Yichi stood together, the officials couldn't tell who he was talking about, so they made way for the King Xian to walk by.

Xiao Zhijin, who was being watched, was extremely hesitant, and bowed his hands, "Sir, long time no see."

Ming Shu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well done."

It is not only to praise Xiao Zhi's hard work in the past three years, but also to praise him for not forgetting his original intention, helping Mo Yichi wholeheartedly, and never being confused by fame and fortune.

Xiao Zhi smiled and relaxed inexplicably.

Xu Shi has always remembered Ming Shu's persuasion, and regarded him as a kind of reliance in his heart. The moment he saw him, Xiao Zhijin suddenly felt relieved.

The two were talking, but Emperor Hongzhi frowned, walked over and asked, "Nephew?"

His Royal Highness the Xian Wang glanced at him, thinking that he was the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and it would be too bad to embarrass him in front of all the officials, so he held back and did not make a move, "Brother Huang, can't you even recognize your own flesh and blood?"

Emperor Hongzhi choked for a moment, and retorted: "Of course I recognize him, look, how much he looks like your emperor's wife."

Ming Shu was noncommittal, and did not expose Emperor Hongzhi's fleeting guilt. He came here not to embarrass Emperor Hongzhi, but to prove Mo Yichi's identity.

After all, they have been brothers for many years, Emperor Hongzhi immediately reacted and asked, "Why did you suddenly return to the palace?"

"I heard that someone bullied this king's nephew, so I came here to have a look, otherwise I won't come back." His Highness Xian Wang curled his lips, not sure if it was because of his dislike for the palace or the person in front of him.

The ministers looked at each other, and they all chose to remain silent and wait and see what happened.

After all, Ming Shu is also a prince, and he has a thorough understanding of the thoughts of these officials. He glanced at everyone, put away his smile, and said seriously: "Brother, when I heard that the prince was missing, I kept investigating and found Mo Jiao. In the end, people will be staring at him closely, my younger brother can be my guarantee, Chi'er is indeed the second prince."

"Then why are those keepsakes on Xiao Qing's body, and you haven't replied to the letter for more than ten years?" Emperor Hongzhi said.

"Brother Huang, you also know that Xiao Qing was seriously ill once. The Xiao family's parents thought he was gone, so they buried him. It turned out that it happened to be a rainy night, and the dirt on his body was brushed away. When Mo Jiao found out, they buried him. The clothes were changed, and the second prince was raised by himself." Ming Shu paused, and said with a guilty conscience: "As for why you didn't tell you, you can't even protect the emperor's wife, how can you protect him?"

This is true, Ming Shu knew that the former empress had passed away, and was so angry that he almost rushed into the palace. After finding Mo Yanchi, his anger was still there, so he simply refused to let anyone pass on the letter, and went to Wangxiang Terrace by himself, and became a teacher , seeing Mo Yichi doing things under his nose every day.

Mo Yichi deserves to be a member of the royal family, and his mischievous appearance when he was young is exactly the same as that of him and Emperor Hongzhi. Ming Shu remembered that he was of his own blood, so he didn't break his leg.

When he was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, he was extremely glad that he didn't deal with Mo Jiao. It was much better for Wei Ling to keep an eye on Mo Jiao and not let her hurt Mo Yanchi than to be so angry that he took him by his side.

"That's better than being displaced outside!" Emperor Hongzhi said angrily, his father and son could not be reunited for more than ten years, and his younger brother was also involved.

"That's not necessarily the case. Now, my younger brother would not be too happy to let him come back." Ming Shu said something.

Emperor Hongzhi was suddenly vigilant, and said: "How do you treat, if you dare to do it again, I will break your leg."

Ming Shu smiled, and grabbed Mo Yichi's hand, "Brother Huang, I want to take someone away, but Brother Huang can't stop me. Why don't you make a decree to make my nephew the crown prince? No matter how bold I am, I dare not make fun of the future prince."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone in the hall changed.Ming Shu's move means that it is too late to openly support Mo Yan. If Emperor Hongzhi is ruthless, he will be punished for colluding with the prince and seeking power to usurp the throne. If he is not ruthless, the result will be different.

"Presumptuous!" Emperor Hongzhi knew the importance of it, "How can the matter of the crown prince be so rash."

Ming Shu didn't care too much, "Brother Huang slowly decided, I'm going to catch up with my virtuous nephew and my good apprentice first." After finishing speaking, he dragged people and started to leave.

Emperor Hongzhi hurriedly asked someone to stop him, jokingly, he was taken away later, wondering if he would be able to see him tomorrow.

"Li Su, set up a reception banquet."

Eunuch Li nodded, and trotted out to order someone to hold a banquet.

Ming Shu stopped in his tracks, "Then there will be Brother Lao Huang."
