Chapter 708: The crime should be punished

Hao Fenglou seemed very tired. After entering Beijing, he did not rush to the Forbidden City, but took the lead in going to the Beizhen Fushi. After giving the order, he ordered people to investigate quickly. However, the Jinyiwei had already dispatched personnel to go to Yishui Bridge. In addition, the Beijing camp had already controlled the nine gates, and the troops of various units began to search for the assassins from door to door. (23w[x]

Even fools know that if these so-called assassins are ready, they will never be able to sit in the capital and wait for death. The personal army and the capital camp can get it, there are probably only a group of low-ranking thieves and market ruffians.

However, no matter which yamen it was, even though they knew they could not hold people, they still worked extremely hard. After checking around, they even grabbed hundreds of "suspicious" rebels. The Jinyiwei was naturally not willing to fall behind. In fact, half of these hundreds of people were held by the Jinyiwei.

Hao Fenglou was too lazy to interrogate those guys, because he knew that he must have gained nothing. After roughly understanding some of the situation, he knew in his heart that his mentor had already started organizing this matter, and his plan was extremely appropriate, without showing any flaws. As for whom those "assassins" were, even Hao Fenglou was confused. Thinking of this, Hao Fenglou could only laugh and cry. He had no intention of rebellion. The mentor had already prepared for the future. The emperor was really anxious to death. He was fine. Anyway, the matter had been done, and he was worthy of the title of rebellion that would never repent. He had to face this storm.

Of course... As my teacher said, this is an opportunity. If you are good at grasping, you will get great benefits from it. Among these benefits, if you are lucky, you will have unexpected gains.

This is to take the chestnut from the fire.

What my mentor said is actually nothing wrong. A peaceful and prosperous era is not a good sign for me. The more peaceful it is, the greater the chance of the prince. And my only hope of victory is that I am afraid that I can only win the fire, and this life is destined to be the traitor of a chaotic era.

He didn't think much about it. After taking care of everything, he rushed to the Forbidden City without stopping and now entered the warm pavilion. Seeing these familiar faces, Hao Fenglou fell to the ground and said, "Mr. Hao Fenglou, I have seen Your Majesty."

Zhu Di's face was still ashen. Obviously, his anger towards this matter has not yet dissipated. No matter what, he is trying to create a peaceful and prosperous era, but even he himself cannot save it. It seems a bit ridiculous.

Zhu Di said slowly: "What's wrong with Mr. Yao?"

Hao Fenglou said seriously: "My teacher's condition has not yet been relieved. However, after Lan Ruo Temple heard about the incident, his master immediately ordered his minister to return to the capital to share his worries. He... was afraid that he would not be able to hold on for much time."

Zhu Di couldn't help but feel moved, but said, "Have you been to the Beizhen Fushi?"

Hao Fenglou nodded and said, "Yes, Weichen has been to the Beizhen Fushi."

Zhu Di said: "It's rare that you do your best. How about it? Things are so obvious. What are you getting from the Jinyiwei?"

Everyone looked at Hao Fenglou.

In fact, everyone understands that this matter will not be rewarded. These assassins have no trace in their techniques or other aspects. They must have planned for a long time and had already thought of the time, place, or even a way out. In other words, it is impossible to find out if they don’t spend enough energy and have a protracted time.

Everyone is waiting, let’s see what Hao Fenglou said. In fact, the truth is naturally to be investigated, but the consequences caused by this incident are clearly political issues. Every word from Hao Fenglou is of great importance and is very likely to change the situation of the government and the opposition. This matter is too big after all. At present, no one is taking this matter to make a fuss.

Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi stared at Hao Fenglou, his whole body leaned forward slightly, maybe he didn't even realize it himself. When he was paying close attention to Hao Fenglou, there was a pair of eyes that kept paying attention to him.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Hao Fenglou took a deep breath, and he was not in a hurry to answer. Although he had already prepared the draft before, he still stayed for a while when he was really going to answer. After a long time, Hao Fenglou said: "Your Majesty, the empress is dead. Although the Jinyiwei investigates and investigates many times, he has no eyes. At present, the guards are all over the place, and the cavalry are already thinking of ways to capture the rioters..."

Next, Hao Fenglou continued: "However, from this point of view, these treacherous thieves were arranged very well, and even in the palace, they had their own spies. They could get a lot of gunpowder. Weichen had ordered the warehouse in the Craft Bureau to check, and there was no omission. After the gunpowder was made, most of them were supplied with various military horses. It seems that the border towns and the camps in the capital should see if there was any gunpowder leaking out. I am the commander of the Jinyiwei. Your Majesty encountered such a thing and was inseparable from me. I must identify which thieves were doing. I dare not make a conclusion for the time being, but it is very likely that it is the remnant of Jianwen. Therefore, Weichen has ordered the Jinyiwei to start from this point and to find out the treacherous thieves in any case. In this way, I can set an example for the sake of others."

The remnants of Jianwen...

Originally, everyone expected that Hao Fenglou might cling to the prince. After all, the prince is not completely suspicious. As long as the matter in this world is willing to be far-fetched, many clues can be found. However, Hao Fenglou's answer is the remnant of Jianwen, which is very different.

At this time, everyone, including Zhu Gaochi, suddenly realized.

No.

Perhaps it was because the matter was too big and it messed up everyone's hands and feet. At this time, everyone began to subconsciously protect themselves. The way to protect themselves was to bite others, so that even smart people like the Prince and Xie Jin could not be spared.

But now, when they calmed down, they suddenly realized that they had done something stupid, and they had no advantage in jumping into Hao Fenglou, because no one can come up with real evidence at the moment. With Hao Fenglou's identity, it would be a false thing to decide his life and death. There is no problem in jumping into the prince, Hao Fenglou. By the same token, Hao Fenglou did not have real evidence, so what can he do if the emperor became suspicious of the prince? There is no evidence, and it is meaningless to say a thousand and ten thousand ways.

On the contrary, the remnants of Jianwen are the best answer to the palace. Does the palace like to tell everyone that this assassination was done by the prince, that the son wanted to kill his father, or Hao Fenglou's arrangement, that this one favorite minister in the world would kill his monarch.

If this is the case, it would be a joke to the world. The assassination itself has already alarmed the world. If the government and the people still attack each other, isn’t this obvious, and it will make more jokes and be used as topics for discussion in the market?

What is the emperor and what is imperial power? The emperor is in accordance with the will of heaven and the imperial power is majesty. Therefore, the most important thing for the emperor is to create a sense of mystery and show his authority. However, once he is used as a topic of conversation every day, everyone will find that the person sitting in the Forbidden City is also an ordinary person, just like everyone else, he eats scallion pancakes. Then, such a result is even more terrifying than an assassination.

Framed the matter on the head of the evil spirit of Jianwen, at least before the matter is clear, show the cruelty of the Jianwen party, show their courage, and tell the people of the world how rebellious they are. Wouldn't that be just right?

Sure enough, Zhu Di's face approached to ease, and he said slowly: "Oh, Hao Fenglou, do you have any evidence?"

Hao Fenglou said: "Of course this is just my own guess. However, before this, the Jinyiwei did find some murderers with ill-conspiracy. In the past two years, I have also taken some of them. I think this matter has something to do with them."

Zhu Dihe nodded: "It seems that this is definitely the case. The Jinyiwei must continue to investigate this matter and must not be slackened. What I am so sad is that there are also rioters in this palace. Is there a traitor around me? It's terrible, so terrible. If I pass the order, I will immediately replace the imperial guards in the palace and order the Shenjiying to be on duty to prevent the silence. All the palace servants in the palace must be interrogated. Any suspicious things will never be ruthless. If I have no choice, I will retreat. Hao Fenglou, stay and arrange the precautions for the palace ban."

Everyone, look at me, and look at you, especially Zhu Gaochi, his face turned a little green. His father asked the Shenjiying to prevent and prohibit the palace, and his intention was already very obvious. Then he trusted King Zhao and Hao Fenglou very much. His words just now had only the opposite effect.

But at this time, he didn't dare to say anything more, so he quickly said goodbye with the ministers.

Here, only Hao Fenglou stayed.

Zhu Di stood up, walked a few steps in the empty warm pavilion, and then stopped. Suddenly, he said with fun: "Hao Fenglou, in your opinion, is this really what Jianwen's remnant did?"

Hao Fenglou hurriedly said, "This...is very likely. Weichen, of course he is not sure!"

Zhu Di sneered, and suddenly, he slapped the case hard and shouted angrily: "Nothing is nonsense, Hao Fenglou, you are a traitor, and your crime should be punished!"

His loud shout was like a thunderclap, which scared Hao Fenglou. Hao Fenglou said in a conscious mind: "I have no choice but to die!"
