Chapter 550 The Confused King Yan

Mao Xiang tried hard to control the expression on his face, trying not to reveal any traces of himself.

At this moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart. He had to admit that compared to his ability to play tricks, he was indeed not as good as Ye Xuan.

In the memorial just now, Ye Xuan actually suggested that Zhu Yuanzhang let King Zhu Di of Yan investigate the assassins.

When he first saw the memorial, he thought Ye Xuan was joking, or that Ye Xuan did not know the inside story of the assassination.

Just after a second thought, he understood that Zhu Yuanzhang and Ye Xuan had already reached an agreement, and Ye Xuan's performance at the time was enough to prove that it was impossible for Ye Xuan not to know the true nature of the matter.

In this case, there is only one explanation, that is, Ye Xuan wanted to use the investigation to defeat King Zhu Di of Yan.

After all, although this assassin was not sent by Zhu Di, there is absolutely no clue about "623".

When the time comes, a charge of poor investigation will inevitably be pinned on his head, and Zhu Yuanzhang can naturally use this as an excuse to punish him.

In this way, Zhu Di's actions against Tianfu will be repaid, and his coveting of the position of prince will also be restrained.

What's more important is that in this way, others can't find any flaws, and even if you do it right, you can't refute it.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang asked him for his opinion at this moment, but he couldn't answer.

After all, this is the royal family's own business. Once involved, there will be no good results.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang's words clearly indicate that he is optimistic about Ye Xuan's method, but he just needs someone to agree and affirm.

If he were to answer easily at this moment, it would inevitably arouse Zhu Yuanzhang's dissatisfaction.

Pretending to think for a while can prove that you really think carefully, and if something goes wrong in the future, you can also say that you didn't think well and leave yourself a way out.

"Back to Your Majesty, I think this method is feasible, but it seems that I have aggrieved King Yan a little."

Finally, a foreshadowing was left, and Mao Xiang finally felt relieved.

With his words, even if something happens in the future and Zhu Di takes over, he doesn't have to worry that there is no room for explanation.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew Mao Xiang's plan, but he was too lazy to expose it at all times.

"Someone has to be wronged, and it doesn't matter whether there are storms or storms. If you have worries that stir up storms, you have to be able to bear them!"

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang stepped out and Mao Xiang hurried to follow him.

"Pass the decree to announce that King Yan will enter the palace."

After shouting, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped directly outside the hall, enjoying the rare leisure.

After a while, Zhu Di came over with a suspicious look on his face.

Seeing that Mao Xiang was there, Zhu Di's face looked even weirder, and his heart was even more uneasy.

Mao Xiang already had a vicious reputation, and many people secretly called him a vicious dog, which shows how ferocious he is.

But even though he was Zhu Yuanzhang's confidant, Zhu Yuanzhang did not always have him by his side on weekdays.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Yuanzhang actually called him over, which meant that something big had probably happened.

Thinking of this assassination again, Zhu Di felt even more frightened, but he could only pretend to be calm.

He bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang with a humble attitude, trying to maintain his normal appearance.

But all this seemed very ridiculous to Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, he already knew everything. Looking at Zhu Di at this moment was like watching a performance.

"Fourth brother, you were also present at that assassination. Now Ye Xuan is injured and your elder brother is busy with important matters. After thinking about it, we always feel that there is something fishy about this assassination. But no matter who is sent to investigate, we still feel Unreliable!"

Before he finished speaking, the meaning could not have been expressed more clearly.

As long as Zhu Di is not stupid, he will naturally understand what Zhu Yuanzhang is thinking.

At this moment, he can continue to act stupid, but the problem is that doing so is tantamount to completely offending Zhu Yuanzhang.

Whether he can return to the fiefdom by then is a trivial matter. It's hard to say whether he can even save his life.

After weighing the pros and cons repeatedly in his mind, Zhu Di hurriedly asked for help.

"Father, I know clearly that these thieves are really hateful! I also feel that their crimes are extremely heinous and we really cannot let them go unchecked!"

After hearing these words, Zhu Yuanzhang finally smiled on his face.

He put his hands behind his hands and looked Zhu Di up and down, as if he was really taking a test.

Zhu Di didn't dare to move, but he was so panicked that he could only lower his head and try not to let his panic and confusion be exposed.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again, but the target was not Zhu Di but Mao Xiang.

"Mao Xiang, please select a group of experts from Jin Yiwei and give them to him to investigate the case!"

After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang took out a gold medal from his arms and threw it directly to Zhu Di...

"Fourth Brother, I really have to leave this matter to you to investigate. Can you tell me how long it will take before I can be found guilty?"

Seeing the gold medal coming towards him, Zhu Di didn't dare to let it fall to the ground and quickly caught it.

As soon as this action was completed, Zhu Di was completely confused.

Accepting the gold medal is undoubtedly equivalent to accepting the decree. Now Zhu Di has no choice but to regret it.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang's intention was clearly to ask him to solve the case within a time limit.

Thinking about what Dao Yan said before, Zhu Di had mixed feelings in his heart, and in the end he could only reluctantly stretch out his huge finger.

"Are you saying three days is too little?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di with amusement on his face.

Zhu Di didn't know what to say for a moment. The meaning of his three fingers was that he wanted three or four days.

But Zhu Yuanzhang only had three days left. He knew that this case could not be investigated at all, and he would be punished in the end.

But now that the words have reached this point, if he refuses or bargains, the punishment may be more severe.

After a brief silence, Zhu Di finally made a decision.

"That's right, three days!"

After saying this, Zhu Di felt that all his strength had been drained away.

At this moment, he even felt a little regretful that he didn't get hurt at all.

Otherwise, it would not be his turn to investigate this kind of case, and a lot of trouble would be gone.

However, we can only think about this kind of thing. After all, 2.7 is irreversible. Things have already happened. No matter how much we think about it, it will be in vain.

Sighing secretly, Zhu Di waited, and Zhu Yuanzhang's final order was issued.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have changed his mind at this moment. He stared at Zhu Di and suddenly spoke after a long time.

"Three days is still too short, so I'll give you ten days; but this is government affairs, and there is no room for sloppiness or any human kindness! You and I are father and son, as well as monarchs and ministers. As a father, I can give you more time. But as an emperor, if you can't do it, you have to punish it. "

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Di's thoughts became a little complicated. He couldn't figure out what his father wanted to do.

However, after listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he could only accept the order respectfully, without any extra nonsense. .
