As Xu Hao was about to set off for Shanxi, he heard that more than 100,000 Hu people in Shanxi suddenly turned around and the whole clan fled into the grassland. This incident shocked the capital. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when he heard the news and ordered the Ministry of War to send an imperial envoy to Shanxi to investigate the cause.

In the Ganqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said, "As Xu Hao said, the hearts of those who are not of our race will be different."

Zhu Yunwen whispered: "This is caused by the construction of a city. Seeing that the road was about to be sealed, Uncle Yan happened to be ordered to patrol Shanxi. He was full of heavy troops in the territory. The Hu people must be worried that their lives would be lost, so they rushed out in a hurry. With Xu Hao's temperament, fortunately, others had not arrived yet, otherwise they would not be able to start a massacre. In the future, no Hu people dared to surrender, and there would be no peace in the border."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "He did show such a tendency, but without my will, how dare he act rashly?"

Zhu Yunwen said softly: "He dares not, but Uncle Yan Wang is hard to say."

"Yes." Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said, "Then I'll order Xu Hao to go to Shanxi. Your fourth uncle misunderstood my intentions and was urged by Xu Hao to kill all the Hu people in anger."

Zhu Yunwen suddenly said, "Uncle San is stranded in the capital for many months, why don't he let him return to his fiefdom? If he hadn't stayed away from the King of Jin's mansion, those Hu people might not have rebelled against the court, so Uncle Yan would have returned to the defense of Peking."

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while and found that over the past period, he suspected that King Jin had murdered his second brother, King Qin, and wanted to replace him and compete for the position of crown prince. Therefore, he ordered him to quickly enter the capital and send the King of Yan to Shanxi to shock him, for fear that a general would raise troops to rebel.

Fortunately, there were no clues that proved that it was the King of Jin's evil move, and the generals in Shanxi had no intention of rebelling. Unexpectedly, more than 100,000 Hu people ran away because of this. Those leaders were personally surrendered by the King of Jin in the past, which was ridiculous. He had never complained about King of Jin Zhu Fen, who was banned in the clan's mansion, and he did not see his sons wrongly.

In the past, the King of Qin had occasionally made a small mistake and almost eliminated the throne in anger. In fact, what Zhu Yuanzhang had always relied on the two legitimate sons of King Jin. The two princes had never let down the emperor's favor, and had outstanding power and were much stronger than his younger brothers. Later, although the fourth son Zhu Di won many times and gained fame, Zhu Yuanzhang's trust in the two legitimate sons remained unabashed at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself admitted that Zhu Qi, the King of Jin, is the most qualified candidate to inherit the throne. The third son of the emperor has been sensible since childhood, good at riding and shooting, is good at riding and shooting, is not arrogant or impatient in dealing with people, and is generous and polite to the officials under his jurisdiction. He does not like to live a luxurious life and is sympathetic to the people. The dead generals such as Feng Sheng and Fu Youde have been controlled by him. They sent troops several times to build passes outside the border, and have made great contributions and are the highest prestige among the princes.

Even the King of Qin who passed away was as good as that of Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhu Shangbing or the eldest son of King Jin, had far inferior to that of the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen. He was too arrogant and short-sighted, and could not teach him. This disappointed him very much. Even Zhu Gaochi, who was very literary and kind, had a strong appearance, was too unworthy to be the king of a country.

Although the sons are still young, their eldest son cannot be as satisfactory as possible and cannot trust the country with confidence.

Besides, Zhu Yuanzhang was too stubborn. His whole life was spent to overcome all obstacles for the eldest son. When his eldest son passed away, all hope was naturally poured on Zhu Yunwen.

In addition, compared to Zhu Yunwen's handsomeness and wiseness since childhood, his third brother Zhu Yunsheng, who was born in the law, has been very mediocre since childhood. He has no appearance and no mediocre qualifications. Zhu Yuanzhang lost interest in the prototype of the third prince Zhu who later became famous in the morning.

Zhu Yunwen's biological mother, Lu, was honored by her son. Although she had not been formally enthroned by the court, she already regarded herself as the crown prince's mother. The original Crown Princess Chang, also known as Chang Yuchun's sister, was nominally the legitimate mother. Since Lan Yu's death, she had to retreat and moved to a side hall in a deserted manner. Fortunately, her biological son Zhu Yunyu often came to her knees.

In addition, Zhu Shangbing and Zhu Jiying were both very kind and Zhu Yunwen, and the three of them had a deep relationship. They could be said to be close to each other. Because Zhu Yunwen was indeed talented, the two princes admired him and respected him everywhere and recognized Zhu Yunwen's identity as the crown prince early. Even Zhu Gaochi said that his literary talent was not as good as the crown prince, which undoubtedly made Zhu Yuanzhang feel more and more firm in his beliefs.

One of the original intentions of Zhu Yuanzhang to set up the Grand Principal Hall was to let the emperor's grandsons live together for a few years and establish Zhu Yunwen's prestige among his brothers in advance, so that the brothers will work together to assist the new emperor in governing the world. Now it seems that the effect is very significant. Except for Zhu Gaoxu, the rebellious Zhu Gaoxu of the four families, few emperors expressed dissatisfaction with the steady and kind Zhu Yunwen.

The grandparents and grandsons talked intimately for a long time. Zhu Yunwen said goodbye and saw Xu Hao standing outside the hall, who had been waiting for a long time, wearing a sixth-rank civil servant costume.

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and ordered the eunuchs to retreat, and said with a smile: "You can still enter the palace to meet the saint if you become a temple minister. Lord Xu, you are really extraordinary."

Xu Hao bowed slightly and smiled and said, "Your Majesty is favored by you, and I have always been flattered."

Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "The wise man doesn't say secret words. I heard that you are secretly investigating the King of Qin. I hope you will do your best to find out the truth as soon as possible."

Xu Hao felt a stern in his heart. It was obvious that Zhu Yunwen was talking about the official slander. The meaning of doing his best to do things is to be careless and too plain, right? He actually threatened himself not to meddle in other people's business in person.

It is personal that the emperor is already old and cannot afford to offend the crown prince who is about to inherit the throne, otherwise he will have to face the settlement of the future.

Xu Hao immediately understood the gods and said in a deep voice: "I must do my best to do my best and never let down Your Highness's instructions."

"Okay!" Zhu Yunwen smiled with satisfaction, "When you have time, come to my East Palace, there is a shortage of thousands of miles of horses in the stable, which makes people look through the autumn eyes, haha."

When Zhu Yunwen and his group left in a sedan chair, Xu Hao smiled silently: "I'm sorry, I'm just involved in the officialdom and I can't understand your highness's voice-over."

At this moment, Xu Hao understood the direction of the case and confirmed that it had something to do with Zhu Yunwen. He was just suspicious and speculating before.

In the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "You don't need to go to Shanxi anymore. Stay in the capital and continue to monitor civil and military officials. Go."

Xu Hao nodded and retreated, thought for a while, and took the people back to his house, and hit the side door and entered a remote courtyard.

Half an hour later, Mu Xi came in full swing, sat on the side of the kang and picked up the tea and drank it in one breath.

"The relationship between the prince of Qin and the prince of Qin is very tense. I led someone to secretly arrest a small eunuch around Zhu Shangbing, and tortured the confession and asked them to see each other's father and son, unless necessary. Last year, for Xiao Yuying, the father and son became enemies. According to rumors, the prince once scolded the prince for being worse than beasts and was robbed."

Xu Hao pondered and said, "Why is this? It's impossible to make Xiao Yuying. It seems that there has been a rift between the King of Qin and his son."

Mu Xi whispered: "I personally checked the secret memorials of the Jinyiwei, and found out from many sources from the palace that the King of Qin had made a mistake. Several of them were secretly instructed by the prince. This matter was not a secret. The King of Qin had already found out and informed the former prince and the King of Yan that the prince Yan could rescue him in time. For this reason, the King of Qin had ordered the prince to live in seclusion, but he did not expect that the emperor summoned the princes to study together in Beijing. This is the cause of the father-son rift."

Xu Hao said movedly: "So that's it. I said why the emperor knew about it? The two commanders of the Jinyiwei did not report this matter. Although the fault was small, it was from the prince's mouth. No wonder Your Majesty was so angry and threatened to demote the King of Qin to a commoner."

Mu Xi couldn't help but say, "The prince just returned to the palace, and the King of Qin died suddenly. It's up to the palace. Please don't follow up and be careful of being silenced afterwards."

Xu Hao nodded slowly. He had no intention of being wronged for the King of Qin. The King of Qin was very likely to be killed by his own son. Zhu Shangbing stood behind Zhu Yunwen. How to check? How can Comrade Zhu not silence him?

Although this matter can be used to slander Zhu Yunwen, the problem is that Zhu Di will never expose the matter from the Zhu family's standpoint, so he pretended to be Bao Qingtian.

"You will continue to investigate this case slowly without any pain. When the year expires, the case will be closed without any progress." Xu Hao made a quick decision.

Mu Xi suddenly said with lingering fear: "The prince died of illness at the age of 37, and was in his prime; the Qin King died suddenly at the age of 38, and every one lived past forty years. Now His Highness, King Jin, is 37, and His Highness, King Yan, is 35, what if there is another accident?"

Xu Hao sneered: "Princes have been practicing martial arts for many years since childhood. They are both civil and military, and they will die of illness for no reason? Obviously there is a lot of articles here. It's a pity that this kind of thing is as you said. Never cause trouble, otherwise the world is big, but there is no place for you and my brothers to stay in it. Let's wait and see what happens."

Mu Xi whispered: "Does it be time to send someone to warn His Highness Yan to pay attention to his own safety?"

Xu Hao said calmly: "You will naturally send someone to your ideas."

Mu Xi smiled bitterly and said, "You are my future brother-in-law. We are a family. Can't you trust me?"

Xu Hao said innocently: "This is amazing! Your Mu family has always been intimate with the Yan Prince's Mansion, what can I trust?"

"Okay, stop talking about anything. You are not old but an old fox. I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Mu Xi finished speaking in anger and stood up and left.

Xu Hao laughed and said, "Your Mu family has only a nest of foxes, except for my Ningxue."

After saying that, Xu Hao fell silent. He didn't know what year King Jin died in history. If it was as he had guessed that King Qin died at the hands of his eldest son, what about the crown prince? Did he also die at the hands of Zhu Yunwen?

If King Zhu Qi of Jin died suddenly in recent years and had not lived past forty years, it would be terrifying. As expected, the royal family is a circle of right and wrong, and they will be far away from each other in the future. Life is the most important.
