My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 95: Empress Xu's Helplessness ( more chapters, please subscribe)

Zhu Gaosui was very depressed, there was nothing he could do, it was all because of his own negligence!
At this moment, the centurion who had just been on duty came over and bowed to Zhu Gaosui and said, "Your Highness, Prince Zhao, the centurion who was on duty yesterday is dead. He hanged himself at home!"

"What did you say?" Zhu Gaosui stood up and stared at the centurion, while Zhu Gaochi narrowed his eyes.

He originally thought it was just a misunderstanding, just because the handover was unclear, but now it seems that it is not the case!

Xu Qin also noticed something was wrong at this moment and looked at the centurion.

"We just went to his house to notify him to come over, and found that he was dead in his study!" the centurion said to Zhu Gaosui.

Zhu Gaochi stared at Zhu Gaosui at this moment and said coldly: "Third brother, Jinyiwei has such a thing, you have to find out the truth."

"I know!" Zhu Gaosui said gritting his teeth. Even a fool would know that there is a conspiracy here.

"You go and investigate! Investigate it immediately. You are so brave!" Zhu Gaochi said with a cold face.

"Okay, Sakyabao, did you see that? I didn't mean to harm you." Zhu Gaosui said to Xu Qin, and then left in a hurry. This matter was no small matter. The imperial prison was under the jurisdiction of the Northern Pacification Office, and the Northern Pacification Office was under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Depot. However, the Eastern Depot did not have so many people. Those guarding here were all members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. In other words, the Embroidered Uniform Guard had been infiltrated.

Zhu Gaosui supervised the Northern Pacification Division, the Imperial Guards and the Five Cities Military Division. The defense of the capital was all in the hands of Zhu Gaosui. What did the Imperial Guards do? They supervised all officials, and now they have been infiltrated!

Zhu Di would definitely inquire about this matter, and Ji Gang would also be held accountable. Ji Gang was the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and all the affairs of the Embroidered Uniform Guard were related to Ji Gang.

Ji Gang happened to rush to the imperial prison at this moment and met King Zhao with a gloomy face.

Ji Gang came over quickly, bowed to the King of Zhao, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, I really told that centurion to tell you that whatever Xu Qin needs, he should be provided! After all, I need to be with His Majesty, so I left the city, but I didn't expect something like this to happen."

Zhu Gaosui stared at Ji Gang gloomily and said, "That centurion is dead!"

"What, what, what? Dead? When did it happen?" Ji Gang didn't react at first, and when he did, he looked at Zhu Gaosui in horror.

"What happened just now!" Zhu Gaosui said and walked outside.

Ji Gang's forehead was already covered with sweat, and he immediately followed Zhu Gaosui. This was very serious. He couldn't explain the matter of Xu Qin clearly, and now, another serious matter had happened.

If this matter is not investigated thoroughly, His Majesty will take action, not just the Queen.

Outside, there were more and more impeachment memorials, all of which wanted Xu Qin to bear the responsibility and alienate the relationship between Xu Qin and the royal family. In this way, the Weaving Bureau would not be able to go out to sea for trade in the future, but the civil officials could.

The three forces had the same goal. The eunuchs and ladies in the palace wanted to get rid of Sakyabao from the weaving bureau so that they wouldn't be delayed in making money. The princesses wanted revenge on the queen and also wanted to drive Xu Qin out of the weaving bureau. Then they would cooperate with Sakyabao to make money. Of course, it would be fine if they could kill Sakyabao.

The civil officials represented the merchants behind the scenes. They hoped that the Weaving Bureau would stop going out to sea. If they wanted to go out to sea, they should let the merchants do it themselves. The Weaving Bureau should not make the money! As long as Xu Qin was in the Weaving Bureau, the Weaving Bureau would continue to go out to sea. By then, they would definitely not be able to deal with the court. Therefore, they wanted to get rid of Xu Qin. If possible, they also wanted to cooperate with Xu Qin. If they couldn't cooperate, they would kill him!

Of course, there is another force, that is the King of Han. The King of Han is just taking advantage of the situation, and his goal is to kill Sakya Bao.

At this moment, Zhu Gaochi was still in the cell trying to persuade Xu Qin and give him some snacks, but Xu Qin said he was not hungry and refused to eat.

Zhu Gaochi had no choice, as he still had many things to deal with. He could only tell the two eunuchs in the Eastern Palace to stay and serve Xu Qin while he went back to the palace to report to his mother, who was already very anxious.

Soon, Zhu Gaochi arrived at Kunning Palace. When Empress Xu saw him come back, she stared at him.

"Mother, we have figured out what happened. I think Shakyabao was framed in the imperial prison. Ji Gang may have told the captain on duty yesterday, but the captain did not tell the third brother, so the third brother does not know about it.

However, Shakyabao and the third brother mentioned that they wanted some daily necessities, but the third brother did not take it seriously. After all, the third brother had not received any news, so he did not dare to do so and left. "After Zhu Gaochi came in, he bowed to Empress Xu and said.

Empress Xu just stared at Zhu Gaochi.

"Mother, it's true. The third brother didn't know. Now he has gone to investigate that centurion. That centurion committed suicide!" Zhu Gaochi said to Empress Xu again.

"Dead?" Empress Xu frowned.

"Yes, he is dead. Someone wants to alienate the relationship between Sakyabao and his mother. All of this is probably aimed at the weaving bureau, or more precisely, at the overseas trade. There may be great benefits in this, so!" Zhu Gaochi said with a bow. Empress Xu nodded and then asked, "How is Sakyabao now?"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi smiled bitterly and could only answer honestly: "He didn't want the things we sent over. He also asked me to go to his house and tell my grandmother that I should be buried next to my grandfather after my death. He also said that I couldn't be filial to my grandmother. He also said that he didn't want to go to the weaving bureau, but you insisted that he go. He went and got the job done.

Now that something has happened, the responsibility has become his, so I am a little angry. "

Zhu Gaochi could only be said to be a little angry, but in fact he was very angry.

"Ah!" Empress Xu sighed when she heard this, and knew in her heart that it would be difficult to ask Shakyabao to do something in the future.

Then he thought of the matter of the centurion, so he stared at Zhu Gaochi and said with gritted teeth: "Investigate it for me, you must find out, no matter who is involved, you must find out!"

"Yes, mother, the third brother and the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Ji Gang, will definitely get to the bottom of it." Zhu Gaochi immediately bowed and said.

"Hmph! Ji Gang!" Empress Xu sneered.

Then he turned to look at the Crown Princess and said, "Go prepare some fruits, quilts, clothes, etc., as long as it is something that Shakyabao can use, prepare it all and send someone to deliver it to the cell. Also, um, eh, send someone to the Imperial College to ask Jingchang to come over."

"Yes, mother!" Zhang bowed and said immediately.

Zhu Gaochi felt much more relieved. It was obvious that I asked Xu Jingchang to come here to pass on a message. Xu Qin might not listen to other people's words, or even ignore them, but Xu Jingchang was different. Xu Jingchang was Xu Qin's younger brother, and Xu Qin doted on his younger brother very much. Now Empress Xu wanted Xu Jingchang to act as a buffer, and Empress Xu did not dare to tell other people in the Xu family!

There was no way. Xu Qin was indeed wronged. He managed the weaving bureau for the queen and promoted the weaving bureau's overseas trade. He offended the corrupt eunuchs and maids in the palace. At the same time, the ministers saw the possible benefits, so the rumors appeared!

But when rumors spread, the higher-ups did not investigate the rumors, but instead arrested Xu Qin and put him in jail. No matter what the reason was, Xu Qin was put in jail anyway. How could Xu Qin not feel aggrieved?

But the cause of all this was to help the Queen and His Majesty and make the Weaving Bureau make money!
There was no benefit at all and he even went to jail. How could Xu Qin not be angry?
Soon, Xu Jingchang was brought over. When he arrived at Empress Xu's warm room, Xu Jingchang immediately saluted Empress Xu and said, "Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen!"

"Jingchang, get up quickly!" Empress Xu waved at Xu Jingchang and gestured for him to get up. Although she smiled, Xu Jingchang found that it was indeed a forced smile.

"Aunt, what's wrong?" Xu Jingchang immediately walked over and asked Empress Xu. This question made Empress Xu feel warmed. This was her own nephew, and he could see that she was unhappy.

"Come, sit next to your aunt!" Empress Xu waved to Xu Jingchang. Xu Jingchang walked over and sat down next to her. He didn't feel hesitant or afraid at all, because this was his aunt.

Empress Xu then began to talk to Xu Jingchang about what happened to Xu Qin in the prison.

After hearing this, Xu Jingchang frowned.

"Jingchang, you will take some things over later and persuade Baoer by saying that your aunt is sorry for him and that you have your own reasons. Now you cannot go to see him because many people are watching this matter and you have other things to do. When you are done, you will go to pick him up in person, okay? Tell him not to be angry with your aunt, okay?" Empress Xu held Xu Jingchang's hand and said to him.

"Okay, but can I enter the imperial prison?" Xu Jingchang sat there and nodded, then asked.

"If anyone dares not to let you in, you will beat him to death. Also, you don't have to go to school before the New Year. You won't learn anything anyway. You will go to the imperial prison to accompany your brother every day. Go and see what your brother needs every day!" Empress Xu said to Xu Jingchang.

When Xu Jingchang heard that he didn't have to go to school, he immediately nodded happily and said, "Okay, Auntie, leave it to me."

"Also, you are not allowed to tell your grandmother and your mother about what your aunt just told you. Your uncle and the others said that you can't tell anyone. When they ask you how Bao'er is doing in there, just say yes. Do you hear me? Otherwise, your grandmother will definitely come to the palace to scold your aunt." Empress Xu continued to instruct Xu Jingchang. "

"Okay! Don't worry, aunt!" Xu Jingchang nodded immediately.

"Well, Baoer may not want his aunt's things. You have to find a way to get Baoer to take them. Tell him that my aunt will definitely look into the matter and give him an explanation." Queen Xu was still worried that Sakya Bao would throw the things out again.

"It's okay. My eldest brother likes me the most. If it doesn't work, I will hold his legs and he will have no choice." Xu Jingchang said proudly, patting his chest.

When Empress Xu heard this, she laughed, then stroked Xu Jingchang's head and said, "In normal times, you should listen to your brother and don't always cause trouble for him."

"Yes!" Xu Jingchang nodded, and then asked, "Can my brother come out before the New Year?"
