Chapter 429; Full of doubts

"Your Majesty, do you think His Majesty will know what happened back then?"

Hearing this, King Jin's expression changed and he asked in shock, "Why do you say that?"

That incident was a huge secret at the time. There were definitely no more than one person in the world who knew about it, including Lu Yaoyao.

Although he didn't know why Lu Yaoyao knew.

But now Yan Yi said that Emperor Hongwen might know it, which made him dare not think about it at all.

If Emperor Hongwen knew about it, why not get rid of him?

But if he didn't know, why didn't he clearly reject Lu Yaoyao's marriage request when he knew that she was his daughter?

"I don't know exactly what to say, but for the princess, he handled it very strangely."

King Jin was silent.

"What about the princess?"

Yan Yi thought for a while and replied in an uncertain tone; "Could it be that she also arranged for people to go to Jiangdong, and then what her people investigated were the results of our and Huo Di's handling?"

"Um?"

It's possible, very possible.

The King of Jin is in a state of confusion. What is this?

"If it is according to what you said, the princess does not know the truth, and it seems that Your Majesty has no intention of telling her, at least not yet."

"That's not right. Then why didn't he clearly reject the princess' request and still let her consider it?"

After sorting it out, King Jin's head hurt even more.

"Is it possible that His Majesty is also considering it and would you like to explain?"

"What does he have to consider? He knows the princess' abilities best. Didn't he try every means to bring her into the royal family?"

"Now that there is such a good opportunity, would you consider it if it were you?"

King Jin knew the thoughts of Emperor Hongwen best.

He has always wanted Princess Wanfu to become a member of the royal family. Now that he has become a member of the royal family, it is a great thing for him, so why should he be secretive about it?

If it were him, why wouldn't he be so happy and beat gongs and drums to announce it to the world?

"Yes, then there is only one possibility. He must know what happened back then."

King Jin thought deeply and realized that this possibility was not impossible.

He knew it, and Lu Yaoyao also knew it, which shows that Zhen Guogong's original method was not so clean.

It was just Emperor Hongwen's attitude that left him a little confused.

I remember that not long after the incident happened, Emperor Hongwen and Duke Zhenguo began to cleanse the royal bloodline.

At that time, he felt that Emperor Hongwen must know what Duke Zhen Guo had done, but later, Emperor Hongwen suddenly stopped and could not move him.

The outside world thought that it was for the sake of the eldest princess, but actually he felt that Emperor Hongwen might have other motives for not moving him.

In the following years, he continued to develop investigations and found that Emperor Hongwen seemed not to know what happened at the beginning, and that the original proposals to King Fang were almost all led by the Queen and Duke Zhen.

Emperor Hongwen just cooperated.

Huo Di was his man, and he was also the person that Emperor Hongwen trusted the most. Later, he asked Huo Di to investigate carefully and tested him several times. Emperor Hongwen's reaction was that he didn't know anything.

Therefore, he began to change from that time, feeling that Emperor Hongwen must not know what happened in the past.

But today this made him confused again.

"How about we let Hodi investigate further?"

King Jin nodded.

"Go ahead and make arrangements. You must investigate clearly this time."

Yan Yi responded and stepped back.

Prince Jin was sitting alone in the study, his mind spinning rapidly.

One thing he couldn't figure out the most was that no matter whether Emperor Hongwen knew what happened at the beginning or not, he now knew that Lu Yaoyao was his daughter, so why did he still refuse her request with an unclear attitude?

This day, more than a month passed in a flash.

During this period of more than a month, Lu Yaoyao was very busy, and the construction of her mountainside villa had already started.

Other parts of the villa are also developing rapidly.

Nowadays, there are more than 7,000 people working in her villa every day.

She had originally agreed to go to Emperor Hongwen with King Jin to talk about the marriage, but now that she was busy, she couldn't get away. King Jin had been coming frequently in the past month or so, and even brought people from his palace.

People come to help.

As for the idea of ​​going to Emperor Hongwen together to talk about the marriage, he didn't push it.

I just told her to be busy first, and it wouldn’t be too late to do it when she has time.

She was not in a hurry. Anyway, the marriage was to be engaged first. Anyway, she had already made the decision and was not in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Hodi."

In Prince Jin's Mansion, as soon as Yan found Prince Jin, he immediately stood up as soon as he spoke.

"How did you say that?"

"Your Majesty may know, and it seems that he is planning to overthrow the Duke of Zhenguo again."

"Huh? What's going on? Tell me in detail."

This news made King Jin unable to believe it.

Emperor Hongwen and Duke Zhen Guo were on the same path, so how could the well-behaved Emperor Hongwen want to deal with Duke Zhen Guo?

"Hodi occasionally appeared in the imperial study during this period. From some conversations between His Majesty and Wang De, he discovered that Your Majesty must have known what happened back then."

"And a few days ago, he suddenly ordered Huo Di to clean up Jiangdong. It seems that he did not intend to reveal the identity of the princess."

"And from what he said when Wang De was talking in private, it seemed that he really wanted to grant a marriage to you and the princess."

King Jin was even more confused now. Since it was decided that he knew about it, Emperor Hongwen actually didn't do anything to him?

Also, didn’t he always want Lu Yaoyao to become a member of the royal family?

How could he not be keen on the opportunity once he had it, and still want to completely cover it up?

The most important point is that after knowing clearly what happened, he still wanted to give his daughter in marriage?

Regarding this wave of operations by Emperor Hongwen, he was so confused that his mother opened the door to him - he was completely confused.

"What's going on when he wants to deal with Duke Zhen?"

"Just ten days ago, Huo Di suddenly received a secret order from His Majesty to investigate the Ministry of War's embezzlement of military pay over the years, and the targets chosen for the investigation were all the most powerful right-hand men of the Duke of Zhen."

"I feel that there may be some big unknown secret between Your Majesty and the Duke of Zhenguo."

King Jin nodded, this suspicion was very reasonable.

Otherwise, why would Emperor Hongwen deal with Duke Zhen Guo like this? You must know that he came to power in the first place only because of Duke Zhen Guo's great help.

Now he is the emperor, Zhen Guogong's sister is the queen, and between them they have a son like Prince Ning.

Logically speaking, as long as King Ning is alive for one more day, it is impossible for Duke Zhen to rebel, so Duke Zhen will be his most solid support, and there is no need to cut off his own arms.

However, he did it, and there might be a big problem here.

"Let Hodi investigate it carefully."

"He has already investigated again, but he has no clue for the time being, and this matter is not easy to investigate."

"Well, I understand. Please step back first. I need to think about this matter quietly."
