Chapter 189: It's time for a mule or a horse

Zhu Di stood up and was about to speak, when Zheng He came in carefully and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, Your Highness Ning is asking for a meeting."

A few days ago, Zhu Neng was still complaining, but now all officials are dissatisfied. Who would have thought that King Ning Zhu Quan had another quarrel at this time?

This is what it means to fear that the world will not be in chaos.

Zhu Di couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't have much patience for such complicated things, but he understood that he could only be patient at the moment. He was no longer the King of Yan, but the Emperor of Ming.

Zhu Di said lightly: "Please come in and speak."

Not long after, Zhu Quan entered the Western Warehouse and saluted Zhu Di directly.

"I have seen Your Majesty." During these days, Zhu Quan has been much lowered. It is precisely because of these low-key things that Zhu Di's attitude towards him has also eased a little. Zhu Di stepped forward and smiled and said, "Please get up quickly."

Zhu Quan still knelt down and said, "I have something to do."

Refusing to get up is an attitude, and what I will start later is probably not that simple.

In fact, the reason why Zhu Quan chose to appear at this critical moment was deliberately. He knew in his heart that Hao Fenglou was angry with the public, but this person was quite favored. Even if he was angry with the public, even if he was calm, most of the emperor's board would be raised high and gently fell down. Then, he might as well add the last straw to the board and beat Hao Fenglou to death directly.

The grudge between Zhu Quan and Hao Fenglou is really about to be discussed, maybe it was just because of an inconspicuous quarrel, but later it became more and more intense, and the situation of never stopping is actually inevitable. On that day, Hao Fenglou scolded Zhu Quan in front of His Majesty. In a sense, it actually means that the imperial power made Zhu Quan bow down. Zhu Quan refused to bow, which made today come true.

Zhu Di frowned and glanced at this not-so-simple minister. His face was a little unhappy. With Zhu Di's intelligence, he could naturally feel something. Zhu Di's eyes were slightly darker and he said, "I don't know what my minister has reported?"

Zhu Quan said: "Hao Fenglou bullied the royal family and his crimes are unforgivable. Although the humble minister is a prince, he is threatened by his. He suffers so much that he dares to be angry but not speak. Today, he learns his mistakes and asks His Majesty to make the decision."

No charges.

The so-called lawsuit is a bit weak, but this does not affect Zhu Quan's confidence. He may not have any reason to take action, but at least his timing is absolutely correct. At this time, he will be infuriated and will not be afraid that his emperor brother will not submit.

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes. He first glanced at Zhu Neng and others. Zhu Neng and others fell silent. In fact, Lu Zheng and Qiu Fu wanted to say a word or two for Hao Fenglou. It was just that Zhu Neng was not good to come forward without permission.

Xie Jin was determined to win, and on the surface he allowed His Majesty to sever his duties, but in fact he forced Zhu Di to make a choice with the intention of an official.

If Zhu Di remained indifferent, people would be in panic. If Hao Fenglou was punished, it would be just the right way to achieve Xie Jin's goal.

Not to mention Zhu Quan, Zhu Di never looked down on King Ning because he knew in his heart that King Ning represents the interests of the royal family to some extent. During the Jingnan Campaign, King Ning made great contributions, which could be considered as fighting with Zhu Di. So now the royal family is watching and watching the emperor's attitude towards the meritorious prince. If the emperor cannot even be compatible with King Ning, it will inevitably make people uneasy.

The targets of these people are directly aimed at Hao Fenglou, which makes Zhu Di's mind sway.

He suddenly laughed, smiling a little coldly, and then said, "It's interesting. My brothers and civil and military ministers seem to want to kill a small thousand households. Zhu Neng, what do you say?"

Zhu Di suddenly asked Zhu Neng, which made people feel a little strange.

However, Zhu Neng said seriously: "I have no prejudice against Hao Fenglou. A few days ago, I did have quite a few words to him, but it was just a matter of things and people. Therefore, I thought that Hao Fenglou had the merits of peace after all, but if Your Majesty said that he had no faults, it might not be possible. But if you say that he was unpardoned, I would not agree."

This sentence is very appropriate. After all, Zhu Neng and Hao Fenglou have no friendship, but on the contrary, there is still some friction. It is fair to be able to say this.

Seeing this, Qiu Fu hurriedly said, "Although Hao Qianhu is unscrupulous and does not consider his daily work, His Majesty is arbitrary based on his one-sided words. As for Hao Fenglou's cannon attack the envoy, it seems to be a false statement. I beg His Majesty for the Holy Prison."

Lu Zheng said slowly: "Hao Qianhu has some connection with Weichen. He should have avoided suspicion, but Weichen also thought that this matter was a bit over."

Several governors from the Governor's Office of the Five Army expressed their opinions that Zhu Neng's attitude was impartial, but the other two clearly meant to be safe.

This time, he hit Zhu Di's worries. Zhu Di said, "Okay, anyway, it's the man who says it's right now, and the mother who says it's right. Since what everyone says makes sense, then you might as well invite our master to come and see what he says. Come, send an order, send a message to Hao Fenglou, and those people outside the Meridian Gate come in, and what it looks like when kneeling wherever you are. Are you not afraid of laughing at me?"

Zheng He was always worried that as the junior brother of Hao Fenglou, this Eunuch Zheng was actually a little conscientious person. When he heard that Hao Fenglou was about to suffer, his face changed. However, he had always been calm and would never speak rashly. Besides, as an internal official, he was not suitable for talking on this occasion. So Zheng He was always worried and listened quietly. Seeing that His Majesty was going to entrust Hao Fenglou to the palace, he volunteered: "I obey the order, I will go now." After that, he left hurriedly.

The hall fell into silence, and everyone had their own thoughts. When the officials came in, Zhu Di also took off and moved to Chongwen Hall. After the officials followed the emperor, some were worried and some were determined to win. Those scheming and scheming people were silent and followed them step by step, but a shiny light seemed to pass through their eyes.

Zheng He rushed to Zijin Mountain almost without stopping. He was familiar with the road here. When he saw Hao Fenglou, he said to himself: "Your Majesty summons you to the palace. Don't ask anything now. Hurry up, you must not delay any delay. There may be any changes in the palace."

Zheng He's word "change" is by no means a joke. Although His Majesty made up his mind to "distinguish right from wrong", the things in the palace are hard to explain after all. Now that all officials have entered the palace, delaying a little more may cause the situation to reverse in the worst direction.

Hao Fenglou was prepared and said straightforwardly: "My junior brother, please lead the way."

The two of them rode directly on horseback, and didn't say anything along the way. Until they arrived at the Meridian Gate and dismounted and walked, Zheng He briefly said the matter and finally said: "This matter seems to be done deliberately. Brother, don't take it seriously. Your Majesty is the emperor. Although the emperor has a personal relationship, once the matter is serious, there is no sympathy to talk about it. The officials are now making trouble. Your Majesty wants to appease them, and the royal family seems to be provoked. Our family has some knowledge. People like them, once they are determined to turn against each other, they will never leave room for anything, so you must be careful. You must read it in your mind before you speak, and any mistakes may be doomed."

Hao Fenglou looked at Zheng He gratefully and said, "Don't worry, I know that this matter has been revealed before, so I am also prepared. Now that they are attacking, they have to see the real chapter now."

The calmness and composure that Hao Fenglou showed made Zheng He a little admired. It was impossible for His Majesty to be trusted by his young age. Zheng He nodded and said, "Let's go."

In Chongwen Hall, the ministers had already stood in squads, and everyone pursed their lips and did not say a word.

Zhu Di sat high on the imperial chair, and no one could tell the emperor's happiness and anger at this moment, but one thing seemed to be certain that today was afraid that no one would be kind. Since the matter had just been torn apart, he would definitely have to make a living to the death. So although Yang Kai felt that he was sure to win, he was still a little nervous.

Immediately afterwards, an eunuch came to report: "The Qianhu Qianhu of Jinyiwei met with Hao Fenglou."

Hao Fenglou came in across the threshold and saluted solemnly: "My minister Hao Fenglou, I have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

Countless eyes fell on Hao Fenglou. It can be said that Hao Fenglou's current image is really a bit shabby. Although he was wearing a fish suit, he didn't know which field ridge he crawled out. He was covered in dust and had mud on his sleeves. As for his face, his face was a little darker and his body was covered in sweat.

But no one laughed at him. Everyone pretended to turn a blind eye to Hao Fenglou's "lost manners". No matter how stupid people are, they know that once they make a fuss about it and criticize Hao Fenglou for not paying attention to appearance, they are likely to be counterattacked by Hao Fenglou in the name of being diligent in the king's order and working tirelessly.

When Zhu Di saw Hao Fenglou, he nodded secretly to Hao Fenglou's image. Obviously, he is a pragmatic person, and glamor may not be able to get his favor. Just looking at this guy's posture, you know that Hao Fenglou has suffered a lot for the Shenwuwei affairs.

Therefore, Zhu Di showed a little smile and said lightly: "Get up, here today, I will hold a unique court discussion. What are the court discussions? I am afraid it will be a joke. What I am talking about is my right-hand man and how these ministers of the humeral bones get along with each other. I heard that Hao Fenglou, a thousand households, is there any such thing? Hao Fenglou, don't look around, you are asking."

Hao Fenglou was indeed looking around, and he smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I am wronged!"
