Zhu Yunxuan was very relieved at first.

Because based on his observation of Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu has already made a judgment.

But later on, Lao Zhu agreed to the request of Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi and asked the outer guards to change defenses, which immediately made Zhu Yunxi's heart skip a beat.

He couldn't understand Lao Zhu's intention of doing this.

Until he was "escorted" into the Palace of Purity, and the door behind him slowly closed.

Zhu Yunxuan finally couldn't help it and shouted: "Grandpa Huang!"

The clear voice echoed in the hall.

Lao Zhu suddenly stopped and slowly turned around.

At this time, hundreds of candles were lit in the hall, illuminating the entire hall.

He could clearly see that Lao Zhu's old face was already full of tears.

"Biao'er, I'm sorry for you as a father!"

The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who was so prolific in murdering people and could be called a king of iron and stone, looked so haggard and sad.

Zhu Yunzhen was stunned for a moment and looked at Lao Zhu blankly.

"Xi'er, come here!"

Lao Zhu waved his hand and signaled the guards who were escorting him to step back.

"Grandpa Huang, please stop crying!"

Zhu Yunxuan walked over step by step.

"Can an emperor cry?" He looked at Lao Zhu and said.

Lao Zhu showed a wry smile and took his hand.

"You are right, the emperor cannot cry."

"As an emperor, you have to face the betrayal of your relatives and friends, and the separation of family ties."

"All the emotions in the world will only trap you and constrain you."

"You must always be cold and ruthless, no matter who you face."

"Only in this way can you face everything calmly."

The guards around him were stunned.

His Majesty the Emperor's attitude outside was clearly to let them bring the grandson in to "question the crime."

So much so that they all thought that Taisun was really doomed this time.

did not expect.

Close the door.

In the Qingjing Palace, the conversation between the two was another scene.

How can His Majesty the Emperor have any intention of blaming you?

Are you teaching him instead?

The guard didn't understand.

But none of them would interrupt.

They are like statues, and they just want to seal their ears so as not to hear these words.

"Grandpa Huang, I remember."

Zhu Yunxuan asked again: "Grandpa Huang, why did you ask them to change their defenses? Once the outer guards are changed, I'm afraid they will mutiny."

This is what he is most worried about at the moment.

The accusations against Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxian appear to be "irrefutable evidence" on the surface.

But in fact, the personal and material evidence concocted in this way cannot withstand strict investigation.

Doesn't it mean that as long as those witnesses are scrutinized strictly, problems will most likely be discovered.

This should be the reason why they dare not bring people to Lao Zhu.

A Luqian pig farmer may be a master of acting, and he may be able to withstand severe torture.

But it is impossible for every one of the forty or so people to be like this.

In addition, even if they forge their own handwritten letters, the details will be found out.

It's easy for the handwriting to be similar, and at first glance it can be mistaken for someone else.

However, if you really want to seriously identify it, that is another matter.

The technological level of the Ming Dynasty was far inferior to that of later generations.

But in the art of calligraphy, it can only be said that there are many masters, and they are even better than those of later generations.

After all, for scholars in this era, practicing good calligraphy is the most basic skill.

If you have high achievement in calligraphy, your ability in handwriting identification will naturally be strong.

Almost all civil servants in the court are good at this.

There are no two identical eggs in the world, and there are no identical handwritings.

The handwriting written by different people can be imitated, but it can never be exactly the same.

As long as you identify carefully, it is not difficult to find the subtle differences.

It is almost impossible for a signature to be forged to such an extent that it cannot be authenticated.

Not to mention letters with more words.

As Zhu Yunzhen's grandson, if we want to convict him, careful identification of his handwriting is essential.

At that time, you will naturally discover that the letters were written by others under false pretenses.

Then his charges will be overturned.

No matter how stupid Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi are, they are still the emperor's grandsons. They have received strict education and they will not lack this bit of common sense.

But they used this method.

That only shows that what they want is just a time difference.

First "convict" Zhu Yunxuan, and then kill the matter before finding any flaw in the evidence!

Replacing the peripheral guards may be their real purpose.

Then what they have to do next...

"We just want them to do it." Lao Zhu's voice was firm.

There was an imperial domineering tone in his stern tone, which had wiped away the previous sadness.

"That's good!" Zhu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Has Grandpa Huang been ready?"

"No!" Lao Zhu shook his head: "We haven't made any preparations."

Well……

Zhu Yunzhen almost stopped breathing at these words.

Without making any preparations, do you still agree to their request to change the perimeter guard?

this……

Grandpa Huang, you shouldn’t be such a person!

The idea just came up.

I heard Lao Zhu's voice in my ear: "We believe you must be prepared. Next, we will see how you deal with it."

"Grandson..." Zhu Yunzhen was startled when he heard this, but he stopped talking as his thoughts raced in his mind.

"My grandson didn't expect that the two brothers would do such a thing."

He considered it carefully and said: "However, the Japanese pirates escaped before, and my grandson was afraid that Grandpa Huang would be in trouble here, so he was indeed prepared for contingency."

"My grandson has concluded that there are still people in the court who are colluding with the Japanese pirates. If something is going to happen, it will probably happen when my grandson comes to see the emperor this time."

Lao Zhu's words were clearly meant to be a test.

Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi did not care about their family ties and designed to frame him.

And he has made "preparations", which means that he is also "preparing"!

Of course Zhu Yunxuan had to explain, and Lao Zhu could not be allowed to have a "misunderstanding".

Our character is much higher than the two of them!

"You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others."

Lao Zhu said: "As the crown prince, if you don't have the slightest intention of guarding against others, we would not dare to entrust the Ming Dynasty to you."

"You did a good job, and we don't mean to blame you."

"We just want to see what those two rebellious beasts want to do?"

"Let's just pretend that we don't have these two grandsons. There are no such descendants in Lao Zhu's family!"

At this point, Lao Zhu's mood has obviously become excited and he can't control himself.

Even though he was an emperor, the first rebel in the ages, and his firmness of mind was far beyond the reach of ordinary people, he still couldn't help but feel sad when faced with the betrayal of his closest relatives.

This was the first time Zhu Yunxuan heard Lao Zhu say such cruel words.

You know, Lao Zhu has always loved his offspring very much.

Especially he treats Zhu Yunwen as his treasure.

Although he is his grandson, Lao Zhu loves him far more than many of his own sons.

To be able to make Lao Zhu say such words shows how deeply disappointed he is.

But no matter how bastard they are, they are still your descendants.

Calling them beasts seems...

"I still hope that my brothers can find their way back."

Zhu Yunxuan sighed.

At this time, he did not dare to add insult to injury and affect his glorious image in Lao Zhu's heart.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Emperor, my grandson will definitely protect you and your family."

Zhu Yunzhen no longer hides his clumsiness.

…

…

…

Clean outside the palace.

Zhu Yunxi had brought new troops and horses, and ordered the surrounding guards to immediately move their camps and change defenses.

Zhu Yunwen was holding a teapot and standing beside him, taking a swig of tea regardless of his usual appearance to calm down the tension and excitement just now.

"Third brother, don't worry. If I ascend to the throne one day, I will definitely not forget your kindness today. I am willing to share the great Ming Dynasty with you."

"What are you talking about, second brother?" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile: "We brothers grew up together. If I don't help you, who else can I help?"

brother?

If the love between brothers is so strong, how could we deal with Zhu Yunzhen like this?

Zhu Yunwen suddenly felt that Zhu Yunxi's smile was fake, and he felt disgusting.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the military generals were close to Zhu Yunxi, he would not care about such people.

but.

Zhu Yunwen also decided long ago that he would just use it.

If he really ascends the throne as emperor, he must not let Zhu Yunxi take over the power.

When necessary, he will even dethrone him.

Just as I was thinking about it, Zhu Yunxi's voice came to my ears.

"Second brother, you don't think this is okay now, do you?"

Zhu Yunwen was startled and said: "Grandpa Huang agreed with us to change the guards, which means that Grandpa Huang has lost trust in that boy."

"If we make his "collusion" with the Japanese pirates public again, the government and the public will definitely be in an uproar, and the emperor will definitely abolish the throne."

He seemed confident.

"No!" Zhu Yunxi shook his head and sneered: "Second brother, our tricks can only deceive Grandpa Huang for a while, but not for long."

"If you don't deal with that kid early, you will suffer the consequences instead."

Zhu Yunwen was shocked and said: "No way, as long as he deposes the crown prince, he will be a toothless tiger and there is nothing to worry about."

"Besides, what else can we do now? Grandpa Huang has already taken him to Qingjing Palace."

Zhu Yunxi looked towards Qingjing Palace.

"Second brother, those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters."

"Now that all the outer guards have changed their defenses, if there are Japanese pirates who enter the Qingjing Palace at this time and attack the Holy Master and the grandson."

"You fought bloody battles and tried your best to protect me, but the bandits were too ruthless and you were temporarily defeated, causing Grandpa Huang and his fourth brother to suffer misfortune..."

boom!

The teacup in Zhu Yunwen's hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces!
