Ming Dynasty: The Jingnan Rebellion has just been successful, and Zhu Yuanzhang has been resurrected

Chapter 22 Duke Wei's Mansion
"Relax?"

"Passing by by chance?"

When Xu Huizu heard Zhu Yunwen's explanation, he was stunned. Instead of relaxing, he became alert.

Although he is not very smart, he is not stupid.

There was nothing wrong with Zhu Yunwen going out of the palace to relax, but when he passed by the Duke of Wei's mansion and walked straight in, there was something wrong.

This is the first time Zhu Yunwen has visited in so many years.

His sister once told him that when things are not normal, there must be something wrong.

Now, he felt that Zhu Yunwen's sudden visit was very abnormal.

Xu Huizu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "If Your Majesty has any instructions, please feel free to tell me. I will do my best to complete them and help Your Majesty."

Zhu Yunwen was stunned. He looked Xu Huizu up and down with a playful look in his eyes. "Duke Wei, I really didn't realize that you look so big and strong, but you are actually quite thoughtful."

When Xu Huizu heard what Zhu Yunwen said, his eyes were startled: "Your Majesty came to visit today, he really has something important to do."

Zhu Yunwen exhaled and said, "Duke Wei, can you tell me how you saw through my thoughts?"

He was a little curious about where he had been exposed.

Xu Huizu hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I don't have the ability to see through your thoughts. It's mainly because of something the Princess of Yan once said to me."

"Fourth Aunt?" Zhu Yunwen was stunned when he heard this, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Thinking of Xu Miaoyun, who was once known as the top female student in Yingtian Prefecture, he couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "What did Fourth Aunt say to you?"

Xu Huizu said, "The Princess of Yan said that when things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on."

"There must be something wrong when things are abnormal?" Zhu Yunwen looked stunned and turned to look at Xu Huizu with a puzzled look on his face.

Xu Huizu said, "Your Majesty, this is your first time at the Duke of Wei's mansion."

Zhu Yunwen blinked his eyes and smiled bitterly: "So that's how it is. I was scared by you."

Since it was his first time here, it naturally aroused some suspicion from Xu Huizu. Then, Xu Huizu casually blew it up, and he directly revealed his cards.

"It's because of this." Zhu Yunwen shook his head.

Xu Huizu stood aside, quietly waiting for Zhu Yunwen's instructions.

Zhu Yunwen said, "Now that things have come to this, I will not hide it any more. Duke Wei, I have received news that Zengshou and Fourth Uncle have a very good relationship."

Xu Huizu's expression changed, and he said, "Your Majesty, this is a rumor!"

"Haha, Duke of Wei, are you sure it's a rumor?" Zhu Yunhuan looked at me with a half-smile in his eyes.

"I" Xu Huizu looked hesitant and a little uncertain.

Xu Zengshou did have a good relationship with Zhu Di in the past, and he knew this.

However, now that Zhu Di has gone to Beiping, are the two still in private contact?

Looking at Zhu Yunwen's appearance, he didn't dare to speak carelessly, let alone defend Xu Zengshou. Zhu Yunwen came to his door, and it was obvious that he must have some evidence in his hands.

Now if he defends Xu Zengshou, not only will he fail to save Xu Zengshou, he might even bring trouble to the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

The Princess of Yan is his elder sister.

This led to a natural connection between Zhu Di and the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

Now, the entire Yingtian Prefecture knows that Zhu Yunwen is going to take action against Zhu Di. In this situation, how can we not be on guard against the Duke of Wei's Mansion?
The Duke of Wei's Mansion had made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, so Zhu Yunwen could not take direct action. However, if it was discovered that the Duke of Wei's Mansion had any connection with Zhu Di, Zhu Yunwen would definitely not be vague.

"Plop!" Xu Huizu fell to his knees and said, "Your Majesty, please give me some time. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If Zengshou has truly committed acts of rebellion, I will not protect him."

Zhu Yunhuan looked at Xu Huizu with a faint smile on his face and nodded: "Okay, since you said so, Duke of Wei, I will give you this opportunity. I hope you will not let me down."

After saying that, he stood up and walked away.

Before coming to the Duke of Wei's mansion, he asked the Imperial Guard to investigate. According to the information they found, Xu Huizu was very loyal to the court.

Now he wanted to verify it.

If Xu Huizu was truly loyal to him, he might become a surprise weapon for him to use against Zhu Di in the future.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. The Duke of Wei's Mansion will never commit any act of rebellion."

Xu Huizu spoke loudly to Zhu Yunwen's back.

Zhu Yunwen waved to Xu Huizu with his back to him.

"Huh" When Zhu Yunwen's figure disappeared, Xu Huizu took a deep breath, stood up from the ground, his face gloomy.

After a moment, he shouted outside: "Someone come!"

A servant came over and said, "Master, what are your orders?"

Xu Huizu said, "Go, ask the Third Master to come to the study to see me."

After saying that, he walked towards the study with a gloomy face.

He never expected that the issue of reducing the power of the feudal lords could actually involve the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

At this moment, he felt both angry and uneasy.

Zhu Yunwen has already come to his door, which means that if he cannot handle the matter properly, the Jinyiwei will step in next, and then the problem will be serious.

study!

Xu Zengshou pushed open the door and walked in: "Brother, are you looking for me?"

Xu Huizu cursed, "You bastard, get over here and kneel down!"

Xu Zengshou was stunned and a little confused. He said, "Brother, what are you doing for no reason?"

"I told you to kneel down, didn't you hear me?" Xu Huizu growled with a gloomy face.

Xu Zengshou looked at Xu Huizu with a slightly hesitant expression. He knelt down with a plop and said, "Brother, can you tell me what happened?"

Xu Huizu snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, you still have the nerve to ask me, let me ask you, what exactly is going on between you and the King of Yan?"

"Prince of Yan?" Xu Zengshou was stunned, his expression becoming somewhat unnatural. He said, "Brother, what relationship do I have with the Prince of Yan? Did you misunderstand?"

"What a misunderstanding!"

"Did you know that His Majesty just came to visit?"

Xu Huizu's face was filled with anger.

Xu Zengshou was startled and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty is visiting? What does this have to do with the Prince of Yan?"

"boom!"

Xu Huizu could no longer tolerate this and stepped forward to kick Xu Zengshou down, saying, "Xu Zengshou, how long are you going to play dumb with me?"

Xu Zengshou said, "Brother, I really don't know what you are talking about."

Xu Huizu stared at Xu Zengshou with a cold gaze: "Someone told your majesty that you had a private relationship with the Prince of Yan."

Xu Zengshou was shocked and shook his head quickly: "Brother, this is a rumor, I didn't..."

The entire Yingtian Prefecture knew that Zhu Yunwen's actions against the King of Zhou, the King of Qi, the King of Xiang and others were all preparations for taking action against the King of Yan.

In this case, if it is confirmed that he has a secret connection with Zhu Di, how can he end up well?

Before Xu Zengshou could finish his words, Xu Huizu interrupted with a sneer, saying, "Put away your little tricks! Do you think His Majesty would come to the palace alone if it were just a rumor?"
