Chapter 324: Thunder's Wrath
Zheng He's first half of the words are seeking truth from facts, but the second half is still to be discussed.
Who is the one in the palace who is not smooth? When it comes to judging words, he will never be inferior to civil officials. Although Zheng He is an "honest" person, he is never so pedantic that he can't help. Therefore, the second half of the words have obviously been artistically processed.
After hearing this, Zhu Di suddenly came to his senses.
He suddenly realized that there was another "sinner" still under trial in Dali Temple.
Now it seems that Hao Fenglou is not only worthy of sympathy, but has been truly wronged.
From Chen Qing's perspective, if Hao Fenglou did not kill Chen Tianping, the current situation in Annan would be truly deteriorated. This killing not only relieved Zhu Di's hatred, but more importantly, by mistake, it stabilized the situation in Annan and even gave the Ming Dynasty the opportunity to regain Annan.
This is a great achievement...what is wrong?
When Zhu Di heard Zheng He’s second half of the words, he was furious and said, “When did I tell Dali Temple that he was so cruel to my adopted son? They are so bold!”
Zhu Di continued to say to Zheng He: "You go to Dali Temple immediately, go to Dali Temple to invite people back, bring my oral instructions. Who dares to stop him? He will be killed without mercy!"
Zheng He was immediately overjoyed, kowtowed quickly, and said, "I obey the order."
After saying that, Zheng He got up and was about to leave, but Zhu Di suddenly thought of something and shouted loudly: "Let's go, forgot, I'm going to go in person, I'm going to inspect the people immediately, I'm going to leave the palace, and... I'll ask someone to report the message to the Qianning Palace and tell the queen that her son can't hurt a hair, and she will never hurt a hair."
After the words came to an end, Zhu Di followed the first step in the palace without caring about it.

These days, Empress Xu has really been unable to eat and eat.
My impression of Hao Fenglou comes from many places. I am grateful for his persuasion of Duke of Wei, and I appreciate his loyalty and courage for protecting myself that day.
In fact, Empress Xu doesn’t have much contact with this adopted son, but love is love, just like some people appear in front of you day and night, and not like it means not like it.
Hao Fenglou was convicted. For Empress Xu, she would not tell whether he was guilty, just like all women. What she considered was whether Hao Fenglou would suffer and whether he would suffer for it.
She had a nightmare last night, which was very scary. Hao Fenglou was covered in blood. He knelt at her feet and cried and said something. His memory was already blurred. The only thing she remembered was a sentence: "My mother saved me!"
So, the potentially deep maternal nature suddenly burst out, making Empress Xu restless. Early in the morning, she called a few confidant eunuchs and asked about this matter. These eunuchs didn't dare to say anything, but just said they would make a long-term plan. Lord Hao committed the matter, which shocked the government and the public. At this time, he came forward and inevitably attracted criticism from the world. Empress Xu had to sigh and was quite embarrassed. If she went directly to find the emperor, the emperor would probably be bothered by this and really didn't want to add more burden to him.
Someone came up with an idea and asked the Empress to summon the Prince to find a way.
When Empress Xu thought about it, she felt it was reasonable, so she taught people to go to the palace to invite the prince.
Zhu Gaochi came hurriedly and asked his mother for peace, looking cautious.
Empress Xu pretended to be calm and ate the tea. She gently tapped her hand on the edge of the teacup. Feng Danyun said: "There is such a thing. What happened to Hao Fenglou, why did everyone shout and beat him? I think it's not a big deal. King Annan is disobedient. I am a woman. I don't know what men outside have to do, but I also know that Fenglou is a hero after all. Such practice will inevitably make people feel disappointed."
When Zhu Gaochi heard Empress Xu talk to Hao Fenglou, he couldn't help feeling a little disgusted, but he didn't dare to refute it. He just smiled and said, "My mother, this matter is too complicated, and my son can't explain it clearly for a while."
Queen Xu sighed, "If you can't explain it clearly, there is no need to say it. I, the queen, don't understand it. However... Hao Fenglou is my adopted son after all, and he is half of your brother. You should talk to him."
Zhu Gaochi replied: "My son should be the one who deserves it."
After all, Zhu Gaochi was just perfunctory and did not dare to say anything in front of Empress Xu.
As he was speaking, an internal official came in and reported, "Empress, Your Majesty has a message."
Empress Xu did not avoid Zhu Gaochi and asked, "What's the message?"
The inner official said, "Your Majesty said, please do not worry, Hao Fenglou, Your Majesty will ensure that he is safe and will not hurt a hair."
When he heard the news suddenly, Empress Xu was overjoyed and said in surprise: "Why is this?"
The inner official said: "I don't know."
Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting aside, was shocked. It was hard for him to imagine why his father suddenly made such a great decision. It is important to know that there are many obstacles in this matter. If you really want to protect it, the ministers must be disappointed.
He thought in a mess, and didn't know what was the reason for it, so he wanted to go out to find out the news immediately.
But at this moment, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
Empress Xu was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "This is great. I just said, what can you do if you are so big? Even Hao Fenglou can't be saved. Why did you work hard to come to Nanjing from Peking for? It's said that the emperor has to be like a word of nine tripods. The prince, the queen mother is very happy..."
Zhu Gaochi forced a smile out of his lips, and he could only agree insincerely: "Yes...yes..." He was in a daze and wanted to withdraw, but he couldn't find any excuses.

In the Dali Temple Hall, the methods of the Dali Temple Minister Yan Heng were immediately revealed. He was indeed a master of punishment. He found various evidences and was informative. Then he called a few Annan merchants in Jinling to come in and ask questions. These Annan merchants were heartbroken and complained about Hao Fenglou's misdeeds.
The clerk has written a total of seven confessions, which are extremely detailed and cannot be argued.
Finally, Yan Heng sneered at Hao Fenglou and said, "What do you have to say now? I will tell you the truth today. Your evil deeds are known to everyone in the world. If you deny it again, you will never be able to escape the legal open!"
Hao Fenglou was still as calm as water, as if he had long expected Yan Heng's method, but he just replied: "The words of several merchants and Annan Guo's envoys were not trustworthy."
"What's going on?" Yan Heng almost burst into laughter.
I have seen people who don’t cry when they see the coffin, but I have never seen people who are so denied when they lie in the coffin.
In fact, it was enough to decide the case at this time. No matter how Hao Fenglou defended it, it would be useless. However, Yan Heng saw that Hao Fenglou would not repent, so he became teasing and taught Hao Fenglou a "class" to let him know the consequences of his denial.
Hao Fenglou said: "The imperial envoy has arrived in Annan. Why not wait for the imperial envoy to investigate in detail before making a decision?"
"You have made a good plan, but it's a pity that it's going to fail!" Yan Heng stared at Hao Fenglou contemptuously and continued: "Yang Xiong, the Right Censor, has already made detailed investigations. Do you know that he has repeatedly written letters. All he has written is your crime? Yes. How could you know about this? To tell you the truth, even if you deny it, you are just a bamboo basket in front of this person's evidence. I advise you to do it yourself and admit your guilt and submit to the law. Perhaps I will still be thinking about your youth and ignorance and plead for you."
Pleading is false, but Yan Heng urgently needs Hao Fenglou's surrender. In his opinion, his beautiful means and handling things so perfectly is actually the most brilliant move in his life. When he gets old in the future, it is also a past event worth bragging about. The only regret is that he did not impress Hao Fenglou, which made him sigh at the vastness of the sky and admire him.
This originally difficult thing ended up with such a perfect ending under my long-term dance. Looking back afterwards, it was indeed a matter worthy of writing.
Unexpectedly, Hao Fenglou said: "It is not a denial, but the matter is understandable. I hope the master will take a clear look so as not to make omissions and wrongly accuse good people."
What he said was really harsh to Yan Heng. Yan Heng almost jumped up, looked at Hao Fenglou with anger, gasping for breath, and said angrily: "You... you... you... will never repent, and you are still talking nonsense. You don't know the importance of the disaster. Good... OK... OK... OK, I will fulfill you now... wait... wait!"
At this time...
A burly figure appeared outside the lobby, with an iron tower-like body revealing its outline with the invisible pressure.
This man had a gloomy face and didn't say a word, but his eyes were like swords and murderous intent.
Zhu Di held his hands behind him, and behind him were several personal guards and officers. He was so arrogant that he dared not leave, neither dared to stop or report.
Time seemed to stagnate...
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
While waiting for the three words to be finished, Yan Heng noticed something strange, so he looked at it and was shocked. Who is the person in front of him who is not the current emperor?
No matter what, he would never have thought that the emperor would suddenly arrive at this small Dali Temple, and he would never have thought that he would have appeared here silently.
Originally, he grabbed the gavel and wanted to knock heavily, but his hand was stagnant in the air and hung in motion. His whole body seemed to be possessed by evil spirits, maintaining a very strange posture and unable to move.
Zhu Di's tiger eyes first glanced at Yan Heng, and then fell on Hao Fenglou's body. The sharp eyes as sharp as a knife became slightly warm.
