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 with shock.

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, your old man still agreed 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."
