Wandering the Heavens

"I need to think about it carefully, you go down first!" Zhu Di was silent for a long time before saying this.

"I'll take my leave." Yu Xian also left tactfully.

Zhu Di knew the prince's situation better than the prince himself. He did not have the courage or the need to gather together Jianwen's former subordinates and train them to use as weapons in the fight for power.

The only two left were Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, but no matter who was dug out, it was not something the emperor wanted to see.

Before Yu Xian walked out of the palace gate, he was stopped by a fat man, who stared at Yu Xian's face for a long time.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" It was really uncomfortable to be stared at by two grown men for the whole day.

"Commander Yu, don't take the third brother's words to heart. It's me, the eldest brother, who failed to take good care of him." Zhu Gaochi hurriedly tried to save face.

"Your Highness, I know that His Highness Prince Zhao spoke only after drinking, but I can't say the same about the others." Yu Xian didn't care about the argument with Zhu Gaosui since it wasn't him who was suffering the loss.

"In fact, let alone them, I was also skeptical. You seemed to have fallen from the sky. But with my father's temperament, he handed over the Jinyiwei to you without hesitation. It feels like a dream just thinking about it." Zhu Gaochi felt a little emotional at this time.

Isn't it just a dream? The son had been guilty of being a thief for many years. Suddenly, he dreamed of his father for several days in a row. He said some sympathetic words. Before waking up from the dream, he said that he had sent someone to see how he could use the person. Then Zhu Di woke up looking at the open portrait in his father Zhu Yuanzhang's hand.

So on the day of the assassination attempt, Zhu Di was in a bad mood. However, when the Jinyiwei handed over the portrait of the white young man who killed the assassin, he was overjoyed. This was why Yu Xian was brought into the palace to meet the emperor and was appointed as the commander of the Jinyiwei in a few words.

"Your Majesty is wise and brave, and he knows how to use people well." Yu Xian responded politely.

Zhu Gaochi was very dissatisfied with this. He was a wise and powerful man who knew how to use people well, so why did he suffer so much? Moreover, when the finances were so poor, he still wanted to go to the grassland to have fun...

"Let's talk business. I'm here to find out the details of that female assassin." Zhu Gaochi looked around and pulled Yu Xian aside.

"Your Highness, this is inappropriate!" Yu Xian was a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, I won't pry into the case. No one knows a son better than his father. My son has been very worried recently. I think it's because of that female assassin. Just tell me about her situation." Zhu Gaochi also knew his limits.

"She is the daughter of the former Imperial Censor Jing Qing." Yu Xian thought that he would have to rely on him in the future so he could only do him a favor.

"Thank you, Commander!" Zhu Gaochi had already gotten the answer and simply turned around and left.

After sending Zhu Gaochi away, Yu Xian was able to leave the palace smoothly and return to the Imperial Prison. He finally had time to clean up the claws of the Imperial Prison. He spent three days to identify all the names on the Imperial Prison list, and after investigating their backgrounds, he submitted the list to Zhu Di for processing. Zhu Di gritted his teeth and agreed, and even asked Yu Xian to publicly execute a few examples. His own Jinyiwei had been infiltrated by his sons like a sieve, and he had to vent his anger.

So, except for two deputies, six of the fourteen thousand households were transferred, and Yu Xian directly managed the imperial prison.

This really stirred up a hornet's nest. The drastic changes in the Jinyiwei made everyone from the crown prince to the ordinary court officials feel uneasy, especially Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui. All their spies in the Jinyiwei had been pulled out, and they had no idea how far the assassination case had progressed. When they wanted to see the emperor, they were told that the person had gone to Jiming Temple.

As for asking Yu Xian, they didn't dare to approach him at all. Last time, they were chatting happily but it was ruined by Zhu Gaosui's random recognition of relatives. Afterwards, he was dragged away by his biological father and beaten with a few boards. If it weren't for his eldest brother's plea, he would probably be paralyzed and lying on the bed for half a year.

Zhu Gaochi was very uneasy because of Sun Ruowei's identity. His position as the crown prince was already precarious because of Zhu Gaoxu's aggressiveness, and his son was involved with the daughter of Jianwen's old minister. In fact, Jianwen's old minister was nothing. What was more exciting was that this girl had a record of participating in the assassination of the emperor.

While everyone was daydreaming, Yu Xian was cleaning.

That's right, he personally took the lead in sweeping the floor in the prison, and bought a bunch of lime to spread in the prison. These days, not to mention prisoners, normal people have no human rights, but they can't lose their lives. If there is a plague, everyone will be doomed. It's so filthy and smelly inside, and these jailers can't really survive.

This operation is incomprehensible to everyone. Will the assassination case be dropped?

Zhu Di himself hadn't thought it through, so what was the point of doing anything? As for the stronghold that Zhu Zhanji used both soft and hard tactics and even risked his own life to find in the TV series, Yu Xian had already arranged people to keep an eye on it, and they were just waiting for Zhu Di's order.

"Old monk, what does it mean that my father sent such a person here? Not only does he have no respect for me and the imperial power, he is also so murderous that sometimes I am afraid of him." Zhu Di looked at Yao Guangxiao who was sitting opposite him with some helplessness.

"Your Majesty, this Taizu certainly has his deeper meaning. I also find that because of this person's arrival, the fate of the royal family seems to have changed a little bit." Yao Guangxiao was still muttering.

"What is the fate of my royal family like?" Zhu Di became interested.

"The royal family is killing each other." Yao Guangxiao said without blinking.

"What about now?" Zhu Di asked.

"At least it won't be like this anymore." Yao Guangxiao said a result that made Zhu Di feel more at ease.

"Then, how should I treat him?" Zhu Di was very concerned about this issue.

This is someone sent by my biological father to be taken care of, but I can't grasp his character. Members of the royal family will not kill each other, but is it because he died at the hands of Yu Xian that they won't kill each other?

"You are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. You have the final say on how to use it." Zhu Di didn't like what Yao Guangxiao said.

"You are trying to fool me with this sentence again, right?" Zhu Di no longer bothered about this matter.

Yu Xian also waited for the person he was waiting for.

"Report to the commander, another group of people has entered the city, and they are now gathering in that antique shop."

"Grasp!"

With just this one word, a large number of Tiqi and Wucheng Bingmasi surrounded the antique shop with great fanfare. They were still patiently waiting for Sun Yu but were surrounded and could not find any way out. Those brothers who went out of the secret passage were either dead or captured alive, so they could only withdraw to report the news.

Such a big commotion in Yingtian naturally attracted the attention of Zhu Gaochi and his brothers, and even Zhu Zhanji came.

"Commander Yu, what are you doing?" As the crown prince, Zhu Gaochi was qualified to ask.

"Your Highness, these are the accomplices in the last assassination attempt. They sneaked into the capital and wanted to contact Sun Yu and others, but they didn't know that I had already secretly arrested and interrogated Sun Yu. They thought it was safe here, so they hid here. Now they are trapped. I have sent someone to report the situation to the emperor and await his judgment." Yu Xian's words blocked Zhu Gaochi's plan.

I know you want to suppress this matter and make a big thing into a small one, but the emperor already knows about it now. Wait for him to speak. Before that, you have to hold it in.

Even Zhu Gaochi was like this, not to mention the other three.

Yu Xian was very dissatisfied with this crown prince. The last one who was confused was Fusu, the prince of Qin. The blood of the Jingnan Rebellion had not yet dried, and his father was still alive. Zhu Gaochi was eager to overturn the verdict of the old minister who was killed ten years ago. This was not how a crown prince should be.

It was fine for him to pardon those who were exiled to Nurgandusi, and he could just say a few good words to his father, but it was outrageous that he wanted to let go of these desperate people in front of him.

They want the lives of your father and your entire family!

While everyone was still standing there awkwardly, the Jinyiwei who had gone to ask for instructions finally came back.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Prince Han, and Prince Zhao. Commander, I have not seen the Emperor, but the Emperor's personal eunuch has passed on an oral order that he must be brought alive."

"The scene that is about to happen is a bit unsightly. Please ask the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince and the two princes to leave." Yu Xian ordered them to leave.

"Commander Yu, it's okay. My brothers and I, as well as my eldest nephew, have all been to the battlefield and have seen all kinds of scenes. Besides, we won't feel at ease until we see with our own eyes that the assassin's accomplices are caught." Zhu Gaoxu not only refused to leave but also pulled others to accompany him.

Everyone was there to watch the fun, especially the prince, who was squinting his eyes and nodding his head. His expression made me feel like I was dreaming of Di Renjie.

Since they were all the bosses, Yu Xian had no choice but to agree. After pretending to give a few instructions, he began to make the arrangements.

The Jinyiwei sent some special feather arrows to the archers, and Yu Xian also drew his bow and put an arrow on it, but others only had one feather arrow, while he had three. The Jinyiwei was very considerate and lit the fuse on the arrowhead. Then several whistling sounds were heard, and one feather arrow after another shot into the house through the window panes of the antique shop.

"Commander Yu, these feather arrows don't seem to be able to hurt people?" Zhu Gaoxu picked up a feather arrow and looked at it carefully. He didn't know what material the arrow was made of, but it gave off a strong pungent smell.

As soon as he finished speaking, bursts of coughing were heard in the antique shop, and some white smoke came out through the holes in the window panes.

"Your Highness Prince Han, this is a kind of incense specially made by me. It is bad for your health if you smell it too much." Yu Xian quickly snatched the feather arrow from his hand.

At this time, a burst of chaotic sounds came from the inn. These people were also tough. From beginning to end, they never thought of breaking out to fight the Jinyiwei.

After it became quiet inside, Yu Xian asked the Jinyiwei to cover their mouths and noses with wet cloths before going in and arresting all the unconscious people inside.

"This... is it over?" Zhu Gaochi was a little bit unbelieving.
