Several Hanlin people have entered the palace, but Hao Fenglou and others have not arrived yet.

Zhu Di held a few memorials that were not very prominent in the past. All the impeachments were all irrelevant things, such as Ji Gang's invasion of half a foot of his neighbor's land when he built his house, such as Wang Ning's slaves who were rampant in Nanjing City, and Qiu Fu and Qiu Fu's affairs were a little more important, so he impeached him to appoint his confidants.

In fact, these crimes are simply not worth mentioning compared to these people.

But now, these "old stories" have come to Zhu Di's hands. He squinted his eyes, looked at Jie Jin, and said, "Xie Jin, do you know the inside story of today's impeachment memorial?"

Xie Jin did not dare to neglect and quickly told the whole story.

Zhu Di said slowly: "What do you mean is this the one that Hao Fenglou picked?"

Xie Jin said calmly: "Who is taking the lead? I dare not make a judgment. I think that a small Jinyiwei Qianhu dare not dare to resist the order so blatantly, and he will definitely not argue with the Hanlin editor. As for the facts, it is still His Majesty's Holy Punishment."

Xie Jin's target was obviously not Hao Fenglou, and he was very clear about the words. Why did the small thousand households resist the orders? To put it bluntly, it was just someone behind the scenes to instigate him.

A trace of understanding flashed through Zhu Di's deep gaze. He glanced at the Hanlins and smiled bitterly: "According to your opinion, what should I do?"

The other Hanlins did not speak without permission. Xie Jin thought for a while and said, "Catch it to the end?"

Zhu Di smiled faintly and said, "Is that true?" He was obviously not satisfied with Xie Jin's opinion, so he turned his eyes on Yang Shiqi: "What do you think of Yang Qing?"

Yang Shiqi is actually considered a princeling. He strongly supports the prince as the crown prince, but he is different from Xie Jin. Yang Shiqi supports the court and does business in public, and is not as close as Xie Jin to have a deep personal relationship with Zhu Gaochi. In fact, although the prince did not seek him to discuss this matter, Yang Shiqi quickly understood the key point. If this matter goes well, the position of the prince can be established. Not only that, it can also give the King of Han a fatal blow. But what will Your Majesty deal with it? Yang Shiqi has been trying to figure out Zhu Di's thoughts for a long time and pondered for a long time, saying, "Your Majesty, there is no need to pursue this matter."

"Oh?" Zhu Di became interested in Yang Shiqi and said lightly: "You continue talking."

Yang Shiqi said: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be thoroughly investigated. The more you follow the root of the matter, it will cause harm to the court but not benefit. As for... how to punish it, you still have to set off another way."

His words were very obscure, but Zhu Di deeply agreed that this matter could not be thoroughly investigated, which means that the more you investigate, the more you will eventually lead to the prince's scandal, the princes' struggle for power and profit, and indulge the confrontation of the people below. This is not a decent and glamorous matter. Therefore, if you want to deal with this matter, you should find other solutions. You must never make a fuss about this matter.

Zhu Di really planned to do this, otherwise he would never have found other memorials. Even if he wanted to punish people, he could not do it in this name.

Zhu Di smiled slightly and said, "I understand."

Xie Jin's face was a little gloomy. He glanced at Yang Shiqi sideways, revealing a little dissatisfaction.

A moment later, an eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and Qianhu Hao Fenglou arrived."

Zhu Di raised his hand and said, "Call in and speak."

Ji Gang entered the place uneasyly with Hao Fenglou. He looked around and saw many close ministers present. He knew that today's matter was not simple, but now he had no way out. He bowed obediently and said, "My minister Ji Gang, I have seen Your Majesty."

Hao Fenglou also said: "My minister Hao Fenglou has met Your Majesty."

Zhu Di's face was gloomy and he smiled coldly, "Ji Gang, do you know your guilt?"

Ji Gang hurriedly bowed: "I am guilty of death."

Zhu Di looked cold and picked up a memorial and said, "Last month, an envoy impeached you for committing illegal acts, accepting bribes, and bullying the people. Are there any of these things?"

Ji Gang's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. Of course he knew that whether these things were catching up or not, whether they were real, since Your Majesty said it in front of so many people, then being innocent would become guilty. In other words, it doesn't matter whether you are guilty or not. What is important is how Your Majesty thinks.

And now, Ji Gang had a premonition that he was doomed because His Majesty decided to attack him.

"say!"

Ji Gang held his face and said aloofly: "I have died."

Zhu Di seemed very dissatisfied with Ji Gang's answer, and a trace of murderous intent flashed through his eyes: "Ten Thousand Death? Do you know Ten Thousand Death? You really deserve to die!"

He seemed to have thought of something, stood up, looked left and right, and said to Xie Jin and others: "You retreat!"

Xie Jin and others hurriedly quit.

In the entire hall, only Duke of Wei, Xu Huizu, Ji Gang and Hao Fenglou were left.

Zhu Di smiled even colder at this time and said, "Ji Gang, I treat you well every day. Of course, you do things for me on weekdays, and you have no credit and hard work. But I have some words, so I just open the skylight and say something. You deserve to die! Do you know? If you shouldn't die, why should you implicate the King of Han? I have to endure it again and again, and now it will be a final decision. What do you have to say now?"

Ji Gang's head buzzed, and he knew in his heart that the worst result had finally appeared. When people were desperate, they couldn't help but choke up. Ji Gang forced the despair in his heart and kowtowed hard: "The people who die in the empress dare not have any inappropriate thoughts. I just want Your Majesty to punish me, but I have nothing to say!"

Zhu Di said viciously: "Of course I have to give it a crime, but I still remember my old feelings. You don't have to do it. I will issue an order to remove your official position. You go back to your hometown. Being a rich man may not be a good thing. But you must understand that you, a rich man, cannot do it for too long. I can protect your life for a while, but you can't protect it for a lifetime. You can do it yourself."

Ji Gang's face was as beautiful as earth, and he knew in his heart that he was completely finished.

Deep in the back garden.

Queen Xu was upset and always felt that something big happened today, but she was still idle and didn't care much about external affairs.

At this time, the eunuch who was attending the service suddenly came to report, saying, "Empress, His Highness the King of Han is asking for a visit."

"The King of Han is here..." A trace of joy flashed through Queen Xu's phoenix eyes. After all, it was his own flesh and blood. There was no fun in the palace, so it was great if someone was accompanying him. But then, Queen Xu's expression became dark again. Of course, he knew what his second son was doing here. Recently, King of Han walked here every few days, just to come here in the name of greetings. He hoped that he could stay in Nanjing.

When she came and went, she was always reluctant to leave her father and mother. These words had originally made Empress Xu a little moved, but she knew in her heart that staying in the capital would only cause brotherly discord, and her palms and backs were full of flesh. She had to bite her and refused to give up, and she would not give any hope to the King of Han.

Today, when the King of Han came, most of the matter was about this. Empress Xu was a little irritated and had no choice but to say, "Please come in."

Zhu Gaoxu's face looked very bad. He knew that something was wrong, so he rushed into the palace and forced a little smile and said, "My son wishes my mother a good health. Is the mother's body better? Since I was frightened in Zijin Mountain last time, my mother has become much thinner than before."

Empress Xu smiled and said, "It's much better. If you have time, you are worried. Come and sit down and talk. Fu'er, go get some refreshments."

The maid Fu Fu, who was beside him, went in severity.

Seeing that there was no one in the hall, Zhu Gaoxu said depressedly: "Mother, I am here to say goodbye. My son is tossing and turning to bed these days and I have been thinking about the matter of being a vassal. Oh... I used to be a ignorant minister, but now I think about it. It is useless to stay in the capital. My son is already old and cannot always enjoy the father and mother's knees, so I have ordered someone to pack up and write a letter tomorrow to ask for the vassal. My mother is in the capital. If I am in the capital, I can send more letters. Fortunately, the prince can take care of my mother at any time in the capital, and my son is still more at ease."

After hearing these words, Empress Xu was slightly stunned. She never thought that Zhu Gaoxu finally figured it out. No matter how he persuaded him, he always refused. He didn't expect that now he would have no time to get it.

Empress Xu was happy at first, but then she felt a little reluctant. After all, it was her own flesh and blood. Although she knew that this was fate, she would be even more harmful to keeping people. However, the mother still couldn't help but she cried with relief and sadness: "It's better to be a vassal, and she'd be your vassal king. The vassal territory is not as good as Nanjing. If you get there, you will be a wise king. In fact, the mother is reluctant to leave, but when the child grows up, she can't keep it."

Zhu Gaoxu sighed and said, "What the mother taught me is that my son must follow my mother's teachings. This time, in addition to coming in to say goodbye, I also had a reluctant request to ask my mother to give me some medicine so that I can teach my son to follow the vassal."

"Drug?" Queen Xu said: "What do you want the medicine to do?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I asked a little. Yunnan is very bitter and cold. Not only can it be compared with Nanjing, but it is not even as good as Peking. I heard that the mosquitoes there are big thumbs, lack of doctors and medicines, and the local people are arrogant and are most likely to get malaria. Once they get sick, they will be in danger. My son... My son..." Zhu Gaoxu choked and said: "I really don't know what to do. King Ning was granted Nanchang, and my son was the son of the father's father's relatives, but I was granted to Yunnan to go to such a sparsely populated and poor place. My son had made contributions to my father's father during the Jingnan period. I didn't expect that I would end up like this now."
