Chapter 198; Will you be mad to death?

The attack on the crown prince of Zhenguo spread quickly in the capital.

Everyone who heard the news was shocked. He was the prince of Zhenguo.

He was actually attacked in the capital, and the news that the Duke of Zhenguo's right leg was crippled gradually spread.

For five days, everywhere in the capital was filled with government officials, imperial guards and people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.

Imperial Palace Study Room.

While Emperor Hongwen was reading the memorial, he asked Wang De again and again.

"No news yet?"

"Your Majesty, no."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen slowly raised his head, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Who do you think in this capital has such ability?"

"Old slave thinks that there are many people with this ability. The main reason is to see if they have the motivation to do so."

The most powerful person in Zhen Guo Gong's mansion was Zhen Guo Gong. No one in the capital dared to touch it, not even Emperor Hongwen.

As for the prince, that really means nothing.

There are many people in Beijing who have the ability to deal with him, but there are definitely no less than two hands.

The main thing depends on the motive. If there is no deep hatred, who will take action?

As for those people in the capital who have this ability at present, they are either on the same line as Zhen Guogong, or they are in harmony with each other. There are really few people who have such motivation to act cruelly.

Emperor Hongwen said no more, lowered his head and continued to review the memorial.

He already felt threatened by the power of the Zhenguo Palace, especially as the eldest prince came of age, the threat became more and more intense.

But he couldn't take the initiative.

This time the prince of Zhenguo was deposed, and his opponent was both capable and courageous. This was a good thing for him.

He knew how much effort Duke Zhen Guo had put into Wang Yu over the years.

It's a pity that Wang Yu has some cleverness, but sometimes such cleverness doesn't work at all.

However, even so, he still gave Emperor Hongwen some headaches. After all, he was the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo. With this status, there were many people below who would be happy to do it for him.

"Trash, it's all trash!"

"It's been five days, and you haven't found any news at all. What's the use of the town government raising trash like you?"

In the main hall of the main courtyard of Zhenguo Gong's Mansion, tea cups and porcelain were smashed to pieces on the floor.

On the throne, Duke Zhenguo had a gloomy face, and his eyes were full of cold murderous intent.

The men in black kneeling in front of him were trembling all over, with fear in their hearts and eyes.

"Three days. My Lord will give you another three days. If we still can't find out any information, I will hand over your heads."

This time, Duke Zhen was furious not only because Wang Yu was deposed, but also because of this incident, which really made him feel unprecedented humiliation.

Think of him as the majestic Duke of the country, a being who is worth less than ten thousand people in Dongzhou, and holds more than 70% of the military power of the dynasty in his hands.

Even Emperor Hongwen didn't dare to be too rude in front of him, but now someone openly attacked his son under his nose and even disabled one of his sons' legs.

This is undoubtedly a slap in his face.

It's like someone pointed at his nose and mocked him, so what if you're awesome? I'm not going to waste your son if I want to.

"Miss, the officials in the capital seem to be going crazy now, arresting people everywhere."

On the farm, Lu Yaoyao just went to see the first deep well dug and tried it out. The water pressure device she tinkered with worked very well.

I just returned to the yard and was enjoying a bowl of shaved ice.

Hearing Qiu Yu's words, she raised her head in surprise.

"Arrest someone, arrest whom?"

"It's those people who met Prince Zhenguo that day. It seems they want to find clues from them."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao curled his lips.

"Then let them arrest you. What does it have to do with us?"

"It has nothing to do with us, but I feel very happy when I see them running around like headless flies."

She knew that what the prince did to her young lady behind her back, she was extremely angry.

It also made her not have a good impression of the Zhenguo Palace at all.

There is a lot of excitement at the Zhenguo Palace now, and she is naturally happy to see it.

"You think, if they knew that the person they were thanking so much a few days ago was the person they were looking for, would they be mad to death?"

"Who knows?"

Lu Yaoyao lowered his head and took a bite of shaved ice, then continued, "But they really should thank me."

"That Wang Yu is just a pig-headed person, and he likes to play around so much. If the Duke's Mansion is handed over to him, it will definitely not last long."

"It's good to be deposed now. At least they can cultivate a new heir. Maybe he will be better than this Wang Yu, but not necessarily."

It is impossible for a lame person to inherit a title, especially a title such as Zhen Guogong, which is obtained through military merit.

If Wang Yu had profound military exploits, or if he had an evil talent, he might still have a chance, but Wang Yu is typically just a second-generation ancestor who relies on his family.

Even if this title is given to him, those who depend on them for survival will not be convinced.

It’s not like Duke Zhenguo doesn’t have any other sons, so how could he hand over everything the family owns to a lame idiot?

"That's true, but if you want to find a better one, I'm sure it won't work for me."

"Oh? How do you know?"

Lu Yaoyao looked at Qiu Yu with a smile.

"In the past few days, I have carefully investigated the situation of the Duke's mansion in this town."

"The Duke of Zhen Guo has many sons, including three legitimate sons. Wang Yu also has two younger brothers."

"One of them spends the day and night, often sleeping in Goulan tiled houses at night. People in the capital say this guy is a loser."

"The other one is only five years old now, but I heard that his qualifications are mediocre and he is likely to learn from his two elder brothers."

"What's the use of having two legitimate sons like this?"

This actually surprised Lu Yaoyao. Why did he say that Lord Zhen Guo was also a very capable person?

In the beginning, he was able to support Emperor Hongwen to fight his way out of the competition among the kings and ascend to the throne. He was also able to use thunderous means to clear the court and help Emperor Hongwen secure his throne.

This ability should not be underestimated. Why are all the legitimate sons so incompetent?

Is this just good bamboo growing bad bamboo shoots?

"Aren't there still concubines?"

"There are two concubines. I heard they are quite capable, but this title is a big deal. The Guild of Guo Guo will hand it over to the concubine?"

"Can he agree to it and can his wife agree to it?"

Lu Yaoyao nodded.

There is a distinction between concubines and concubines, and this is very standard in Dongzhou.

Moreover, in the past one or two years since his inception, the Duke of Zhenguo has repeatedly submitted memorials to request the establishment of a crown prince, using the method of establishing a direct descendant.

If he gave the title of Crown Prince to his concubine, it would be like a slap in the face.

He won't do this, but since the legitimate son is incompetent and the concubine is outstanding, the Duke's mansion will definitely be very lively in the future.
