Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

After listening to what Zhu Di, King of Yan, had just said, Xu Da suddenly became silent, stood aside respectfully, and stopped arguing with Prince Zhu Biao.

"Are you here to plead for Hu Fei?"

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment, sat on the couch again, looked at Zhu Di, and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to my father, I didn't plead for anyone. I just felt strange after hearing about this incident, so I decided to go to the palace to see if it was really the case."

"Now it seems that the rumors are indeed true. If Hu Fei dares to have the intention of rebellion, Erchen will be the first to let him go. However, as far as I know, Hu Fei has become bolder these days, and has become more courageous.

He didn’t do anything too outrageous, and he didn’t seem like a person with evil intentions.”

"The case of Chen Ning, the rat infestation in Changzhou, the annual pay of the frontier troops, the shortcomings of empty seals, family planning, Wanming Ice Spring, and the annual banquet at Hongbin Tower. Although the children and ministers have not seen all these things with their own eyes, even if they are heard from hearsay,

I can't help but admire Hu Fei."

"If even he has second thoughts about the court and his father, I really can't believe that there is anyone in the court who is loyal to his father."

"Back then, outside the capital city, Erchen was besieged by hundreds of Beiyuan assassins. If it weren't for Hu Fei, Erchen would have died on the way back to the capital. If he was really disloyal to the imperial court, why did he risk his life to save him?

?”

"So, I feel that there may be a hidden meaning in this matter. I am bold and ask my father to think twice and give Hu Fei a chance to defend himself. If he really dares to be disloyal to my father, I will kill him with my own hands."

he!"

Zhu Di bowed his hands in a salute, with a respectful face, and spoke loudly, with sonorous words.

After listening to Zhu Di's words, Zhu Biao couldn't help showing a look of approval. He was so anxious just now that he didn't even think of listing the things that Hu Fei had done that were of great significance to the court.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the couch, his face became more and more solemn, and his brows wrinkled slightly.

It was a good thing he didn't mention it. When he mentioned it, he couldn't help but think about all the things in the past. Only then did he realize that Hu Fei had done so many things for the imperial court without knowing it.

Xu Da lowered his head and couldn't help gritting his teeth, thinking about how to deal with it. He knew that His Majesty had been persuaded by King Yan, but now that things had happened, he didn't want to give up just like that.

"What His Highness Prince Yan said is true. Hu Fei has indeed done a lot for the court in the past, but merit does not mean no fault. If he is wrong, he is wrong. Even if he has made great contributions, they cannot offset each other, let alone

When it comes to rebellion, we must be very careful, otherwise it will cause serious trouble in the future!"

After Xu Da hesitated for a moment, he raised his hand again and said.

It seems that he will not give up until Hu Fei's crime of rebellion is proven.

Or maybe, he had already understood Zhu Yuanzhang's intention.

At this moment, the young eunuch who had come in twice in a row quickly walked into the hall again.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Li Shanchang of South Korea is outside seeking an audience."

The little eunuch bowed and said respectfully.

After hearing what the little eunuch said, Zhu Biao's eyes lit up and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But Xu Da's face became increasingly uglier, knowing that if Hu Fei was not convicted as soon as possible, more and more people would come to plead for mercy.

"Your Majesty, if the minister's guess is correct, Mr. Han must also be here for Hu Fei. I didn't expect that Hu Fei would gain the trust of so many people so quickly. Not only did he alarm His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Hell, he even ignored the court.

The Korean father-in-law also came to intercede for him."

Xu Da cupped his hands and said in a stoic tone.

After hearing Xu Da's words, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

He also guessed the purpose of Mr. Han's visit, and he also knew the relationship between the Li family and the Hu family. However, as a founding veteran, it would probably not be justified if he refused to meet him.

"Xuan."

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and said impatiently.

The little eunuch agreed and immediately left.

Soon, Korean Duke Li Shanchang walked quickly into the hall.

"The humble minister Li Shanchang is here to see His Majesty!"

Li Shanchang walked closer, bowed respectfully, and said slowly.

"Get flat."

"Are you also here to plead for Hu Fei?"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, looked at Li Shanchang, and asked loudly.

"Back to Your Majesty, I am not here for anyone, but I suddenly heard that Hu Fei was plotting a rebellion. I was so frightened that I went to the palace to seek confirmation from Your Majesty. If Hu Fei really had this intention, I am willing to kill my relatives and clear out all the traitors for Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!"

Li Shanchang shook his head and said indignantly, his face full of seriousness.

"Aren't you afraid of offending the Hu family by doing this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively.

"Wei Chen is only loyal to His Majesty, so what does it matter if he offends the Hu family? Whoever is an enemy of Your Majesty is an enemy of Wei Chen. Although Wei Chen is old, he will never tolerate anyone being disadvantageous to Your Majesty!"

Li Shanchang raised his head, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said decisively.

"Okay! I trust you so much in vain!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he shouted "OK" and said with satisfaction.

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty."

"By the way, Your Majesty, when Wei Chen entered the palace just now, he met Lu Li, the invigilator of the Wenxian Pavilion in charge of this spring exam, outside the palace gate. He brought an examination paper and said that he wanted to enter the palace to see Your Majesty. Wei Chen stopped by and gave it to you.

Brought in."

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Li Shanchang smiled and bowed his hands, then took out a test paper from his sleeve and said doubtfully.

After listening to Li Shanchang's words, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a trace of doubt, and then motioned to Pang Yuhai to take it and presented it in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang opened the examination paper, looked down, and then couldn't help but frown.

I saw that the examination papers were full of good strategies for governing the country. They were densely packed and full of papers. Many of them spoke to his heart, which made some difficult questions about governing the country that had always troubled him suddenly suddenly clear up.

Looking at the rules of governing the country, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded frequently, and couldn't help showing a hint of surprise on his face. For a moment, he forgot that there were still important matters that had not been dealt with.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to the signature. When he saw the signature, he couldn't help but froze on the spot and frowned.

A name is scrawled on the signature, Hu Fei!

Seeing Hu Fei's name, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel a little confused and confused.

"I would like to inform my father that this examination paper was answered by Hu Fei during the third examination in Spring. It was specially sent to us by the Wenxian Hall. Unexpectedly, Mr. Han met him and brought it into the palace.

"

When Zhu Yuanzhang was confused, Prince Zhu Biao took a step forward and said respectfully.

But in fact, he had arranged this a long time ago. Before arriving at Yangxin Palace, he sent someone to report to Li Shanchang, and at the same time, he notified Wenxian Palace and rushed to the palace with Hu Fei's new answer sheet for the third exam.

Waiting at the door, hand the new answer sheet to Li Shanchang and take it into the Yangxin Hall.

After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Xu Da's face changed drastically and he hurriedly looked up, but he couldn't see anything clearly except some dense handwriting on the examination paper.

But Zhu Di and Li Shanchang next to them were not surprised by this. Instead, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Isn't Hu Fei's third exam paper there? Why did another one come out?"

"what happened?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the three examination papers of Hu Fei on the desk, hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhu Biao, and asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to my father, there is indeed Hu Fei's third examination paper, and the one in your hand is the one I asked Hu Fei to make up later."

Zhu Biao raised his hands and said seriously.

"What's the matter?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a stern face and doubts.

"Father, in fact, I have already seen Hu Fei's poem. Not long after the third exam ended, someone found me with the exam paper."

"After my son read it, he was very angry, so he asked Hu Fei about it. Then he learned that Hu Fei had composed the poem out of carelessness and had no intention of being disloyal to his father."

"But I am worried that my father will be angry when he finds out. For the sake of my father's dragon body, I have no choice but to order Hu Fei to give another serious answer. The one in your hand is the one."

"But I didn't expect that my father would find out in the end. I didn't tell my father about this in advance, and there was a misunderstanding. I know my mistake, and I hope my father will punish me."

Zhu Biao sighed and said with a look of self-blame. After he finished speaking, he knelt on the ground, heartbroken.

After listening to Zhu Biao's words and looking at Zhu Biao's appearance at this time, Xu Da's face looked ugly, with a look of unwillingness between his eyebrows...
