Chapter 525 Hypocritical Zhu Di
"Prince, since the fourth child has this heart, then we will hand him over to you."
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di beside him.
Feeling Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, Zhu Di became a little restrained.
He lowered his head, clearly longing in his heart but not daring to speak.
But how could his reaction be concealed from Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes?
"King Yan listens to the decree!"
Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately used Zhu Di's title instead of his rank.
Zhu Di naturally understood that this was Zhu Yuanzhang beating himself up, and immediately stepped forward seriously.
"My lord, Zhu Di listens to the order!"
Seeing Zhu Di like this, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood relaxed a lot. He nodded slightly and then said his instructions.
"We order Zhu Di, as the King of Yan, to assist the prince in thoroughly investigating the "130" Tianfu murder case."
When Zhu Di heard this, he quickly saluted.
He said respectfully: "My son will live up to his mission and will help his elder brother to investigate the murder case."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and turned his attention to Ye Xuan aside.
"Ye Xuan! Although you are only an assistant, you should also know that in the final analysis, it is up to you to investigate this kind of case.
After a slight pause, Zhu Yuanzhang's tone became solemn.
"Our son has been quite naughty and has a bad temper since he was a child, so we sent him into the army early. But I didn't expect that over the years, instead of smoothing his temper, he has become even more irritable and bad-tempered."
This Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be more like a father, and he even sighed halfway through the sentence.
His eyes returned to Zhu Di, and Zhu Di also looked ashamed at this time. He didn't know whether it was because he failed to frame Zhu Biao, or because he remembered something from the past.
"We have often heard that this kid in Goryeo is like a living hell. But he also has some merits, so we don't care about him. The leading and assisting in this investigation is just to cover up others' eyes and ears. ”
While speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhu Biao and then at Zhu Di.
"If there is any conflict between these two boys and you, please forgive me. But if they go on a rampage and refuse to obey your way of handling the case, you can just come to us!"
The meaning of this sentence is self-evident.
Although Ye Xuan was moved on the surface, he couldn't help but lament Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial intentions in his heart.
On the surface, these words were telling him not to worry, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that. They were also letting Zhu Di and Zhu Biao know what they were talking about.
Even though Zhu Yuanzhang had been fighting in the north and south for so many years, he had never participated in the investigation.
But he is not a fool. He naturally understands that this incident is probably related to Zhu Di.
If Zhu Di is not allowed to participate, he will also interfere with it, which will cause trouble for the prince and Ye Xuan.
And if the prince is not allowed to participate, Zhu Di's temperament and Ye Xuan's temper will inevitably conflict. No matter who he helps, Zhu Yuanzhang will not feel better.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang used two princes in his order, in fact it was just to gag people and provide checks and balances.
He has given Ye Xuan enough this year, and he does not want Ye Xuan's power and reputation to continue to expand.
Everything before was done within etiquette and law, but if Ye Xuan is allowed to take charge of the case this time, it will be equivalent to announcing to the world that Ye Xuan does not need to abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
Even though he knew that Ye Xuan would not do anything extraordinary because of this, he still did not want to add a stain to his reputation.
What's more, if he did what he did today, a hundred years later, if his successors follow suit, the Ming Dynasty will really be doomed.
When Ye Xuan was sighing in his heart, Zhu Biao had already figured it out. The key was that he looked at Zhu Di aside, his eyes still very complicated.
Zhu Di was frustrated and excited at the moment, and could only try to maintain calm for a while.
The three of them received the order in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. Ye Xuan was planning to leave. After all, this was Zhu Yuanzhang's family banquet. It was really inappropriate to stay and participate at this moment.
But before he could speak, Zhu Yuanzhang had already made a decision for him.
He greeted Zhu Biao and Zhu Di: "Yesterday, we adopted Shen Rong as our adopted daughter. She is not as old as you two, so after all, you should call Ye Xuan brother-in-law."
When the two heard this, they looked at each other and saw a trace of confusion in each other's eyes.
Although the Ming Dynasty was founded not long ago, the previous dynasties can also be used as a reference.
Often when an emperor accepts someone as his adopted son or daughter, it is because of his political stance and political intentions……
But Zhu Yuanzhang's acceptance of Shen Rong was obviously an exception. After all, even if he accepted Shen Rong as his adopted daughter, he could not use the Shen family's property casually. Otherwise, if word spread, it would only lead to a reputation of plundering.
As for Ye Xuan, he accepted Shen Rong because he loved Wujiwu. This may be due to certain factors, but it is more obvious that it has a deeper meaning.
Zhu Di was not present yesterday, but Zhu Biao was, and Zhu Yuanzhang also gave him some explanations afterwards.
But even so, Zhu Biao didn't feel that Zhu Yuanzhang would really treat Shen Rong as one of his own family members.
He also admitted that Shen Rong was a rare talent. Although she was a woman, she was no less talented and knowledgeable than a man.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's words, when he saw Shen Rong, he couldn't help but think of Queen Ma when he was young.
These do not seem to be the reasons for Ye Xuan to stay and attend the family banquet as the consort.
But Zhu Yuanzhang never promised Ye Xuan the identity of a consort. I don't know, but what he said just now is undoubtedly an admission of this.
After all, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, once you become a consort, you cannot hold any official position. If Zhu Yuanzhang really gave such a reward, it would be equivalent to ruining Ye Xuan's future.
Zhu Biao was thinking in his mind, and Zhu Di was also scheming.
Soon Zhu Di reacted first. He first looked Ye Xuan up and down, and then bowed to Ye Xuan.
This move really surprised everyone present, including Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to stop Zhu Di, and then spoke.
"What are you doing, Your Highness? You have embarrassed a humble minister!"
Zhu Di explained with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Ye Xuan is rich in knowledge and resourceful, so he might as well give in more than Liu Chengyi did at the beginning."
This Liu Chengyi refers to Liu Bowen, because he was granted the title of Uncle Chengyi, but he is still celebrating the New Year, so Zhu Di did not call Liu Bowen by his posthumous title.
However, everyone present was a core figure in the imperial court, so they naturally understood the reasoning behind this and also understood who Liu Chengyi was.
Hearing that Zhu Di promoted Ye Xuan so much, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but twitch.
He originally hoped that Zhu Biao would get closer to Ye Xuan, but now, Zhu Di obviously also wants to make friends with Ye Xuan. .
