It really took a long time for him to recover. It took him a long time to raise his head and saw his son. Zhu Youtang asked with a little hesitation: "Is that so?"

"Back to my father, this is exactly what happened. This was discovered by the subordinates of the son and Mou Bin of Jinyiwei. He is still being held in the prison of Jinyiwei. Although there has not been a detailed interrogation, the confession in the preliminary trial has been Brought it over."

"Show it to me." Zhu Youtang said.

Zhu Houzhao directly handed over the confession, then stood aside and waited for his father to finish reading it.

There were not many words in this confession, but Zhu Youtang still read it for a long time.

After a long time, he put down the confession in his hand, and Zhu Youtang said with some disbelief: "This is actually the case."

Looking up at his son, Zhu Youtang asked directly: "Have you discovered it a long time ago?"

"Back to my father, I just found out today." Zhu Houzhao said.

"Then why are you paying attention to this matter?" Zhu Youtang stared at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Is it possible that you can predict the future?"

He said this with a bit of embarrassment and anger, although he felt that he had lost face in front of his son, which was a bit unbearable.

Zhu Houzhao was not angry, but felt that his father was particularly interesting at this time.

"At that time, I just thought that there was a ghost in Qing Yezi, but I didn't believe him. Everything he said and did was to deceive his father. Throughout the dynasties, there were endless incidents of Taoist and alchemists deceiving the emperor. They use all kinds of methods to do whatever they can. I don’t believe them."

"So ever since the Taoist priest entered the palace, Erchen has been staring at him. Until he said that we father and son cannot meet, Erchen knew that there was indeed something wrong with him. This was to alienate the relationship between him and his father. Originally, I wanted to find an opportunity to give advice to my father, but who would have thought that he would die like that? This should be God's blessing."

Glancing at his son, Zhu Youtang felt helpless. He suddenly felt like he was too old to be like his mother. The other was a sense of frustration. His son had really grown up, and he actually felt that he was better than his parents. .

Originally this should be a good thing and something that parents all over the world look forward to, but it is different in the royal family.

Because my son is destined to do one thing, and that is to take over his job. Now that I am in the prime of life and have not done enough, my son is already ready to take over. What should I do?

He was not willing to retire directly and put pressure on his son, but his son was not willing to give in either, and conflicts arose.

This is what Zhu Youtang feels now, but this emotion is fleeting. After looking at his son, Zhu Youtang said: "Now that the matter has come to this, do you have any thoughts? What should we do about this matter?" "

As for the real cause of Ao Ye's death, they will naturally not investigate it, and Zhu Youtang will not even mention it.

I don't know about this now. I already understood before that it was my son who did it. I had already sent He Neng to him, so there was nothing I didn't understand.

If there was any resentment in my heart before, it is gone now.

Previously, his son killed his favorite Taoist priest. Fortunately, his son did not hide it from him and secretly investigate him. Otherwise, he would have easily become dissatisfied.

I have to say that these people are very good at sowing dissension.

Now that the matter has been investigated clearly, and I know what they are going to do, why would I still fall for this trick?

"I think this matter should not be made public." Zhu Houzhao said expressionlessly.

I still have to say this myself, because my father also loves face. If things get heated up, my father's face will naturally not be on the line, and he may not be able to do anything by then, so I'd better stop messing around.

"Why do you say that?" Zhu Youtang asked.

"Now they are in secret. Even if they pursue them with great fanfare, it will not be of much use. It is better to let Jin Yiwei and Erchen's men investigate slowly and follow the clues to find them. Once the news is made public, things will inevitably turn out. Making a fuss will only give them an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Zhu Houzhao did not speak from his father's direction, but directly intervened in the case itself, acting businesslike. Obviously, this also saved his father's face.

Glancing at his son, Zhu Youtang nodded, really feeling a sense of comfort.

"Okay, let's do what you said!" Although he said that, he still felt a little aggrieved. Looking at his obedient son standing there, Zhu Youtang's face suddenly turned ugly.

"I have something to tell you." Zhu Youtang said again.

"Father, please tell me." Zhu Houzhao said.

"Some things need to be purchased in the palace. The harem has not added anything for many years. Many places in the palace are dilapidated. Some palaces are even about to collapse. So I want to buy some things for the palace and other things. It is convenient to repair the palace. Your strange house spreads all over the country, so it is convenient for you to do these things, so I leave this matter to you!"

Zhu Youhang said.

After listening to his father's words, Zhu Houzhao understood instantly.

Dad was feeling uncomfortable and took the opportunity to blackmail himself. He probably had this idea in mind.

But for me now, these are just small amounts of money.

"Yes, I will leave this matter to you," Zhu Houzhao said quickly.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao didn't care much about his father trying to rip him off.

Because in Zhu Houzhao's view, his father actually didn't have much money. Fortunately, there were few women in the harem, otherwise the expenses would have been even greater.

My father is not the kind of extravagant emperor. He can barely maintain the operation of the palace with the income from the inner treasury, and he has to allocate some to the national treasury from time to time.

Historically, my father was diligent, frugal and virtuous, which many emperors could not compare with.

He was really frugal, and even though his conditions were better now, he had no intention of living a luxurious life. In the past two years, he had not clamored to build a palace, nor had he built a garden like the Qing Dynasty.

However, Zhu Houzhao didn't think so. Building a garden for the emperor could actually be regarded as a way to stimulate domestic demand.

Find an opportunity to build a garden, build a royal garden, and build a resort in the western suburbs. Then let the dignitaries in the capital follow suit and build the garden and spend all their money.

Suppliers who provide goods and migrant workers who work can all make money, which is much better than leaving the money in their homes.

As for the court’s money, it’s better to invest in infrastructure!

"If nothing happens, I will resign." Zhu Houzhao bowed and said.
