The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 401 Zhu Yunwen with an Online IQ
Thinking of this, he sighed and turned to leave. After he left, Huang Zicheng, Lian Zining, and the others arrived. Huang Zicheng looked at Zhu Yunwen in front of him and said with a smile.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince did a good job in this matter. It's not like they're trying to curry favor with us for ulterior motives. Their arrival in this place probably isn't all good news!"

"No matter what, we absolutely cannot fall into this trap. Zhu Xiong Ying's power in the capital is extremely strong now, and with the assistance of the Emperor and the Crown Prince, he is even more terrifying. Now is not the time to confront him!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen's eyes were filled with resentment. He couldn't understand why they were both imperial grandsons.

Why are these people always trying to help Zhu Xiong Ying? Is it just because Zhu Xiong Ying is the son of the Chang family? Just then, Qi Tai walked in from outside and said excitedly.

"I have investigated and found out what happened. The reason these people did this is because of the assassination attempt at Desheng Gate!"

"It turns out the assassination attempt at Deshengmen was closely related to them. Zhu Xiong Ying must have discovered their involvement, and that's why they wanted to join forces with us to protect themselves!"

Hearing these words, one couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"Just as I thought, they wouldn't come here without a reason. Their appearance was really too strange. Now it seems that something has definitely happened!"

"It seems these people are planning something. I don't know if this is good or bad for us. Do you think we should get involved?"

Qi Tai said nervously upon hearing this.

"It seems best if we don't get involved. These people have committed serious crimes. If we get involved, we might not find a solution and could only get ourselves into more trouble!"

At this moment, Huang Zicheng shook his head and said.

"It's not that we can't get involved, but this time our opponent probably can't be the Crown Prince Zhu Xiong Ying. The best way now is to help him fight against this enemy!"

Everyone was shocked to hear this news, and they looked at Huang Zicheng in front of them with puzzled expressions.

Even Zhu Yunwen, who was standing to the side, felt somewhat dissatisfied.

"Master Huang, what do you mean by this? That man is our enemy. Do you intend to help our enemy?!"

Huang Zicheng shook his head after hearing this.

"The reason I did this is not to help them, but because in this matter, the rebels are our biggest enemy. Although we also want to take down Zhu Xiong Ying, it is impossible for them to do so with their strength. In the end, the result will be that their forces will be swallowed up by Zhu Xiong Ying!"

"No matter what role we play in this matter, it will be disadvantageous for us. Therefore, the most appropriate way is for us to get involved in this matter, and even to act before Zhu Xiong Ying makes the first move, as long as we wipe out all these people!"

"At that time, not only them, but also the wealth they obtain through smuggling will fall into our hands!"

"Our power will definitely be immense by then?"

Zhu Yunwen was extremely unwilling to accept this.

"But these things were originally Zhu Xiong Ying's doing. Getting rid of these people would be quite beneficial to Zhu Xiong Ying, since these people don't have a good relationship with Zhu Xiong Ying!"

Lian Zining shook her head in rebuttal.

"If you want to take something, you must first give it. This applies to everything. Although Zhu Xiong Ying did many despicable things, it must be said that he still wielded considerable power!"

"These people won't pose much of a threat to Zhu Xiong Ying, so there's no point in keeping them around. On the contrary, we might as well use them as stepping stones for us!"

Having heard this, they exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with smugness. Zhu Yunwen nodded, completely accepting this idea in his heart.

Faced with sufficient benefits, anything can be given up. Moreover, if Zhu Xiong Ying does not gain any advantage this time, it would be equivalent to breaking his plan.

This gives him a significant advantage.

Sure enough, at the court assembly the next day, just as Zhu Xiong Ying was about to report on this matter, Zhu Yun Wen stood up and spoke.

"Your Majesty, I have learned that among the group that dealt with my elder brother were men of Marquis Chen Yong of Linjiang, and that they have even been involved in smuggling. I beg you, Grandfather, to take charge!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked at Zhu Yunwen with disbelief.

It's worth noting that his relationship with Zhu Xiong Ying has never been good. It would be quite unusual if he didn't kick Zhu Xiong Ying when he was down. Why would he suddenly speak up for Zhu Xiong Ying at this time? Even Zhu Xiong Ying, who was standing to the side, was very shocked.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunwen in front of him with disbelief in his eyes.

How did you find out about this?

At this moment, Zhu Yunwen spoke.

“Yesterday, people from the Marquis of Linjiang’s residence came to me, saying they wanted to join forces with me to support me in seizing that position. But I felt there was something fishy about this, so I sent my men to investigate and found out what had happened!”

"Later, I intended to take the people from the Marquis of Linjiang's residence away, but I didn't expect that Duke Lan Yu of Liang would arrive there first and capture them. At the time, I thought that since these people had been captured, my brother must be safe, so I was relieved. It's only now that I'm bringing this up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very surprised to hear this, and then looked at Zhu Xiong Ying and Lan Yu. At this moment, Lan Yu came out and took out all the letters.

"That's true!"

Although he was very surprised by Zhu Yunwen's words, he still took out the evidence. Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely angry when he saw the evidence in front of him.

"How could Chen De have fathered such a son? Truly a tiger father and a dog son!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very grateful to Chen De, as he was one of the few generals under his command who was extremely loyal to him.

So even after his death, he gave this position to his son.

Who would have thought that the newly appointed Marquis of Linjiang, Chen Yong, would be like this?

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered Erhu to go and capture the group of criminals.

Then he looked at Zhu Yunwen with a curious gaze.

"I remember your relationship with U.A. has never been very good. Why are you suddenly speaking up for U.A. this time?"

After all, that's what Zhu Yunwen said at this moment.

"It's true that my relationship with my brother isn't very good, because he's always suspected that I have designs on that position. But I know very well in my heart that I will not take that position!"
