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

Chapter 463 Rumors are flying everywhere

At this moment, Crown Prince Zhu Biao thought carefully for a moment and then spoke.

"The one who tied the knot must untie it. Our most urgent task now is to find out who spread these rumors!"

"Think about it carefully, although these versions of the rumors are different, they are all arranged in a very convincing way, and they all talk about the same thing!"

"These things seem a bit strange, unless someone is doing it on purpose!"

"Otherwise, there would be no reason for these things to circulate among the common people."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

"But what use are these things that circulate among the people? Or do they have any meaning to someone?"

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have thought of something and said something.

"Do you think this was done by Xiong Ying? It seems he doesn't intend to let the Khmer Empire go. Through this incident, he can smoothly push the Khmer princess away from him and instead give her to Yunwen!"

"That way, he won't have to worry about this matter, and no one will say anything if he wants to deal with the Khmer Empire!"

Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Zhu Biao frowned, then shook his head and said...

"I believe U.A. would never do such a thing. He has always been decisive and would never resort to such despicable means!"

"Moreover, even if he were to do that, he would never target Yunwen!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded after hearing this, then sighed.

"What's done is done, we need to find a way to resolve this!"

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his crown prince Zhu Biao beside him and said.

"Since this matter is related to U.A. High School."

"Then why don't we just bring U.A. here and ask them?"

Crown Prince Zhu Biao nodded. It seemed that this was the only option now, as the entire Western Depot and Embroidered Uniform Guard of the Ming Empire were now under the control of Zhu Xiong Ying.

When it comes to intelligence, no one has as much as Zhu Xiong Ying, so you can't go wrong asking him about these issues.

Soon Zhu Xiong Ying arrived at the palace. Zhu Yuanzhang and Crown Prince Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Xiong Ying and said...

Have you heard those folk tales circulating among the people lately?

Zhu Xiong Ying smiled and nodded after hearing this.

"Of course, I also went to the teahouse to take a look. I have to say, the person who wrote this story is really talented. He was able to write something like this. I even want to open a teahouse and have him tell stories for me to make money!"

Zhu Yuanzhang heard this.

Then he immediately looked annoyed.

"Alright, stop joking around. What do you think about this?"

"This matter concerns the princess of the Khmer Empire. If it is not handled properly, it will definitely have a huge impact!"

Zhu Xiong Ying seemed to have known about this matter all along. He took out several pieces of paper from his pocket and handed them to Zhu Yuanzhang and Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

"This is intelligence passed down from my men."

Not long ago, Huang Zicheng went to the post station and talked with the princess of the Khmer Empire for a long time! "As for the content of their conversation, my men didn't hear it, but the Khmer princess also gave Huang Zicheng a chest of gold treasure!"

"After Huang Zicheng returned, he worked through the night to write these stories and then distributed them to people in the city. Although he did it secretly, my men still saw it!"

Upon hearing this, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Crown Prince Zhu Biao were extremely shocked. It turned out that this whole affair was arranged by Huang Zicheng, who was extremely loyal to Zhu Yunwen. In other words, this whole thing was orchestrated by Zhu Yunwen himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when he heard this.

"What on earth is Zhu Yunwen up to? Why does he have to do something so embarrassing? What will outsiders think of us?"

Zhu Xiong Ying's eyes were full of disdain.

"What is he thinking? It's simple, he just wants to take this opportunity to contact the Khmer Empire and then use its power to fight against me!"

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

"No, Zhu Yunwen absolutely cannot stay in Yingtian Prefecture any longer, otherwise he will definitely cause trouble."

At this moment, Zhu Xiong Ying said with a smile.

“I have already made a plan. No matter what, this man is still my younger brother. Although he is only a son of a concubine, it is still good to make him a king. He has just acquired a lot of territory in the south. Since he wants to become the son-in-law of the Khmer Empire, then let's settle his fiefdom near the Khmer Empire!”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and that was the only way to leave it at that.

After the group had finalized these plans, Zhu Yuanzhang and Crown Prince Zhu Biao summoned Zhu Yunwen, who was fully aware of the situation.

The reason he was summoned to this place was simply to ask about the princess. He had already prepared his answer, and upon arriving, he hurriedly bowed to Crown Prince Zhu Biao and Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your son, Zhu Yunwen, greets His Majesty the Emperor and Father!"

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a forced smile.

"You've probably heard the rumors circulating in the streets, right? What's your opinion on this matter?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly replied.

"We leave everything to Grandfather and Father to decide. We don't know where this came from, but this matter has a huge impact on our Great Ming Dynasty. We absolutely cannot allow such rumors to continue to spread!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately snorted coldly.

"These things have already spread everywhere, and you can't stop them no matter what you do. The question is, how should we resolve this issue now? What do you think should be done?"

After hearing this, the grandson of the emperor, Zhu Yunwen, pretended to be troubled and considered it for a moment before speaking.

"Grandpa, since this matter has already been spread, we might as well just make it a reality!"

"Although the princess of the Khmer Empire was sent from a barbarian land, she still needs to be given a title."

Since her reputation has already been ruined because of this incident, if she were to marry His Highness the Crown Prince, it wouldn't be good for his reputation either. Therefore, I am willing to share my brother's burdens!

Zhu Yuanzhang almost burst out laughing when he heard this. If he hadn't known the truth, he might have actually been fooled. Thinking of this, he said with a smile.

"Alright, I already know the outcome of this matter. You can leave now!"

Zhu Yunwen was bewildered upon hearing this. Why was he suddenly being asked to leave? Was the matter already a done deal? He immediately gathered all his advisors and shared his guesses. Everyone frowned upon hearing this.
