"Wu Gao! Wu Gao..." Emperor Zhu Gaochi turned his back to several ministers and muttered a few heartbrokenly to the map on the wall.

Xu Huizu was bent down and stood below. He felt that being too tall was not necessarily a good thing; when he was unwilling to be noticed, he was still very eye-catching because he was too tall. Yuan Gong, Tan Qing, and former officials of the Eastern Palace all looked at Xu Huizu sideways.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi turned around and frowned. His face had a lot of flesh, which made him look big, and now he seemed to have a twisted facial features.

Xu Huizu understands the emperor’s recent mood! The rebellion of the King of Han swept across the southwest like a flood and beast. After more than a year, not only did it not subside, but it became more and more intense, which really made people worry.

Xu Huizu thorned his head and said with a fist: "The emperor doesn't have to worry too much. Wu Gao's defeat is not the key, and the battle between Huguang is at stake."

Zhu Gaochi was a little out of control and asked hurriedly: "Can Zhang Fu block Gao Xu's rebels?"

Xu Huizu said: "It is certainly possible to return to the emperor's words! The British Duke has the advantage, and there is no reason for his defeat at this moment."

The other ministers around him seemed very silent today.

Xu Huizu's words seemed to have given the emperor a little comfort. Zhu Gaochi gradually calmed down and waved his hand gently. Seeing this, everyone bowed: "I am waiting for you to thank you for your gratitude." At this time, Zhu Gaochi suddenly said: "Duke Wei to stay."

Xu Huizu had no choice but to bend down and stand there.

Zhu Gaochi picked up a memorial on the imperial desk. He held the memorial with his right hand, hitting the left palm again and again, and repeatedly hitting it several times. Xu Huizu originally thought that the emperor would show him the memorial, but the emperor did not do that after all.

"He Fu is recommended by Duke Wei, there is no problem?" Zhu Gaochi suddenly asked.

Xu Huizu was stunned for a moment, clasped his fists and said, "I am stupid and do not understand the holy intentions. What problem can Ningyuan Hou have..."

Zhu Gaochi ignored Xu Huizu's rebellious question. He nodded slightly and put the memorial in his hand into his sleeve. This is a rare thing.

Xu Huizu immediately guessed that the thing might not have been secretly memorialized by the Tongzheng Office... If that thing was really a secret memorial sent by Zhang Fu to a special person, the content was to criticize Wu Gao and He Fu; then the emperor suddenly asked He Fu about it just now, and there was nothing strange about it, and it was easy to be understood.

Zhu Gaochi picked up another memorial and threw it on the imperial case, "I asked Tan Qing to go to the imperial prison of the Beizhenfushi and interrogate Chen Ying again. Duke Wei took a look at his confession."

Xu Huizu walked to the imperial case and went to get things by himself. At this time, there were no slaves in the warm room, and no one did the trivial matters of passing on things.

Chen Ying has been imprisoned in the imperial prison for more than a year, but she is not dead yet, so Tan Qing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, has the opportunity to interrogate the trial. Xu Huizu roughly read the content of the confession first, saying that it was a case in which Chen Ying impeached He Fu.

He Fu's younger brother He Lu appeared in the capital at the beginning of the 35th year of Hongwu (the fourth year of Jianwen). However, after the Jingnan Army entered the city, He Lu seemed to have disappeared from the world and never appeared again!

Chen Ying seized this incident at the beginning of Yongle and impeached He Fu many times, intending to bring him down! But in the end, the case was left unresolved because there was no evidence. The more important reason was that after a series of arrangements at that time, the late emperor seemed to have accepted He Fu and had no intention of eliminating He Fu.

Chen Ying's previous words were very vague, and the impeachment memorial was just a shadow; because the official conclusion of the Yongle Dynasty was that Emperor Jianwen had long passed away. So Chen Ying couldn't just say the charge... He Lu followed Emperor Jianwen!

But Chen Ying has already made the matter very straightforward with his confession.

Xu Huizu continued to read the following content. Tan Qing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, also reported something: the princess who was divorced by King Zhao, Xu Zhang's daughter, disappeared from He Fu's house not long ago, leaving a letter of becoming a monk. However, neither the Jinyiwei nor the Monk Lusi could find out whereabouts of Mrs. Xu.

"Duke of Wei?" Zhu Gaochi said in his voice.

After seeing these things, Xu Huizu muttered in his heart, and suddenly felt that these things seemed to be a little strange. But before the evidence was conclusive, Xu Huizu could not easily sell He Fu because of a little suspicion!

He immediately clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Master, should the Duke of England be worried about these things?"

Zhu Gaochi pondered for a while, he glanced at Xu Huizu and finally nodded quietly.

Xu Huizu only asked this question, but then he did not defend himself. He bowed and stood there without saying a word. Apart from this sentence, perhaps saying something else was just unnecessary nonsense!

Sure enough, Zhu Gaochi seemed to have figured out something and waved his hand straight: "Duke of Wei will be busy when he goes back."

Xu Huizu bowed and said, "I thank the priest for your kindness, please give up."

He walked out of the Qianqing Gate and caught up with Yuan Gong, the minister of Taichang Temple, on the spacious brick floor between the three halls. Xu Huizu looked solemn, stepped forward and asked directly, "What's going on with He Lu?"

"Duke Wei doesn't know?" Yuan Gong suddenly slapped his head, "You have been in the mansion and never left the house at that time, and you are almost isolated from the world. I almost forgot! Duke Wei also read Tan Qing's memorial? That's it."

Xu Huizu pondered and said nothing.

Yuan Gong said in a deep voice again: "The Marquis of Ningyuan (He Fu) is definitely fine! Emperor Taizong lost many old Jianwen generals, why didn't he touch He Fu? If He Fu had something, he would have been unlucky long ago. Can he wait until today?"

Xu Huizu nodded and asked in a low voice: "The matter of Emperor Jianwen..."

Yuan Gong suddenly looked embarrassed and said nothing. Obviously, it was a secret matter in the palace, so he didn't dare to talk about it easily.

Xu Huizu said confidently: "I have decided to be loyal to the emperor, and of course I will not do anything that would damage the emperor's reputation. I will never tell you about this."

Yuan Gong frowned and said, "Duke of Wei asked what he did?"

Xu Huizu said: "Why don't we guess and assume first? If He Lu really follows Emperor Jianwen like Chen Ying impeached, and then He Lu reveals his identity and is caught... He Fu, the Marquis of Ningyuan, will he be threatened because of this?"

Yuan Gong looked surprised: "Why did Duke Wei make such a reason for this??"

Xu Huizu said: "It's just an assumption, without any evidence, but such speculation can make all those things make sense. For example, the whereabouts of Xu Zhang's daughter cannot be found even the Jinyiwei. The reason is that there is a force to arrange it; and that force is the one who uses He Lu to threaten the Marquis of Ningyuan..."

Yuan Gong thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's really unbelievable. Duke Wei's idea is really strange!"

"Some things in the world are so strange!" Xu Huizu frowned.

Yuan Gong looked back and said carefully: "General He is ours."

Xu Huizu said seriously: "We are all the priests!"

This statement made Yuan Gong a little embarrassed.

Yuan Gong said again: "It is obvious that the British Duke is making trouble. No matter what, we recommend He Fu. If we don't help him at this time, we will suspect him, will it hit others' thoughts?"

Xu Huizu glanced at Yuan Gong and said nothing more.

At this time, Yuan Gong finally let out a word and said, "Hu Yi, the Minister of Rites, may know something." After hearing this, Xu Huizu hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Yuan Siqing, for the reminder."

The Ministry of Rites is located on the east side of Qianbulang. After Xu Huizu returned to the Governor's Office of the Five Army, he passed through Qianbulang and went to the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Rites. This was the time to go, and the Minister of Rites should be in the yamen.

As expected, Hu Yi walked to the lobby within a while. He came up to greet Xu Huizu and politely said, "Duke of Wei is such a rare guest, please invite him inside!"

"Mr. Hu, I'm upset." Xu Huizu replied. He was indeed a rare guest. The Governor's Office of the Five Army and the Lobby of the Ministry of Rites are two yamen that almost does not need to be communicated with. There is really nothing to do with.

The janitors in the yamen served tea and two green robe officials accompanied him. Xu Huizu said without hesitation: "Can you borrow a step to speak?"

Hu Yi immediately understood the meaning and then stepped back.

Xu Huizu is now a popular figure in front of the emperor and often shows up in front of the emperor; when he comes here to talk, no one needs to monitor him. If there is any problem, Xu Huizu can just explain it clearly in front of the emperor.

Xu Huizu knew very little about Emperor Jianwen. But he would not admit this in front of Hu Yi, and he speculated in his heart: Since Hu Yi could be found to mention this matter, Hu Yi must think that I am the one who knows the inside story.

Xu Huizu thought for a moment, then suddenly said deceivingly: "At that time in the Yongle Dynasty, did Mr. Hu meet He Lu by Emperor Jianwen's side?"

"He Lu?" Hu Yi was stunned for a while, frowned and shook his head, "I have never seen him! The Yongle Dynasty... the officials have never seen Emperor Jianwen."

Xu Huizu was a little confused all of a sudden and could not determine whether Hu Yi was lying... He was | Mother |, Yuan Gong didn't explain it clearly. What's the use of coming to find Hu Yi?

Xu Huizu carefully observed Hu Yi's eyes, and saw that he looked calm and could not see anything strange. Xu Huizu said, "Since that's the case, I'll disturb you. If Mr. Hu remembered something, he could just report to the emperor."

He would not admit that he knew nothing about the inside story; otherwise, Hu Yi might have reacted the same way as Yuan Gong and would not have easily told the secret.

Xu Huizu stood up and Hu Yi sent him out. He said to Hu Yi one after another, "Please stay, Mr. Hu stay." When he walked to the door of the study, he still reminded him a little worriedly, "If Mr. Hu remembered, he had seen some suspicious people... If you don't want to tell me, you must remember to write a letter to the emperor."

Hu Yi said directly: "It's really nothing. I wonder why Duke Wei felt that the lower officials could see He Lu?"

Xu Huizu got nothing this time, but he felt relieved and felt a little better. He was so conflicted now!
