"No!" Hearing that Zhu Yunxi was going to issue an order to send someone to check Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts, Li Jie hurriedly spoke to stop him.

"Why?" Zhu Yunxiu was stunned when he heard this. If he didn't catch Zhu Yunwen in time now, and waited until the other party really escaped from the capital, and then made any rumors, it would be terrible.

"How can Your Majesty be confused? The late emperor has just passed away, and the death of Emperor Taizu has only been more than a month. The entire Ming Dynasty is in panic. If Your Majesty issued an order to send someone to investigate the whereabouts of his brother, even if he could catch him in time, some bad rumors would probably spread, which would only be even more unfavorable to Your Majesty!" Li Jie explained patiently.

Zhu Yunyu finally woke up after hearing this. Indeed, Zhu Yunwen hasn't done anything yet, and he is not sure whether he is missing. So if he sends people to arrest Zhu Yunwen with great fanfare, it will only make things worse and it will be even more difficult to deal with.

"What should I do? You can't just watch him escape, right?" Zhu Yunxi asked anxiously again.

"The most important thing now is to determine where Zhu Yunwen is going, and the fewer people know about this, the better. Fortunately, General Lan blocked the imperial city before, so I will discuss it with him first to see if there are any suspicious people leaving the palace. Of course, Your Majesty is better to send a confidant to search in the palace to see if Zhu Yunwen is still in the palace." Li Jie thought for a moment and finally made a decision.

"Okay, then I'll check the palace. I'll trouble you brother-in-law if you have the rest!" Zhu Yunsheng nodded immediately and said, "This is all I can do now.

The discussion was decided, and Li Jie immediately left the mourning hall. Before leaving, hello to Zhu Yuning, persuaded her to pay attention to her health, and then left in a hurry.

After attending Zhu Yunyu's ascension ceremony, Lan Yu personally led his troops to guard the Hongwu Gate in the imperial city. Although he was entrusted by Zhu Biao, he was a military general, and guarding the safety of the capital was what he should do. As for the government affairs in the city, there were naturally ministers such as Li Jie to help Zhu Yunyu handle it.

"Why are you here?" Lan Yu asked in surprise when he saw Li Jie, because in his opinion, Li Jie should be busy in the palace now. After all, there are too many things that Li Jie needs to help Zhu Yunxiu deal with, and he should never come to Hongwu Gate to meet him.

"Please ask the general to retreat. I have important things to discuss with you!" Li Jie said with a serious expression.

Lan Yu was also shocked and immediately asked the others to retreat. Li Jie then stepped forward and told Zhu Yunwen's suspected disappearance, which made Lan Yu frown. After a while, he said, "Are you sure he is no longer in the palace? Could it be that he found a place to stay alone for a while because he was too sad?"

"There is also a possibility, but I have sent someone to search for it, but I have not even found anyone in his residence, and he has not been to guard the last emperor. This is completely unreasonable, so I have asked Your Majesty to send someone to search the palace again, and we cannot relax!" Li Jie said with a serious expression. Zhu Yunwen's influence was too great. If he was allowed to escape, the most serious consequences might even cause the division of the Ming Dynasty.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Lan Yu thought for a moment and finally recognized Li Jie's analysis, and asked again immediately.

"I want the general to check it out and see who have been in and out of the imperial city since the throne ceremony, and maybe I can find some clues." Li Jie immediately spoke.

"This is a problem. Although I led my troops to block the imperial city before, after His Majesty's death, I needed to send someone to notify the ministers in the city. Then these ministers rushed to the palace to participate in the throne ceremony. After the ceremony, someone kept entering and leaving the imperial city. There was no way to block it anymore, so I had to let go of the blockade." Lan Yu frowned when he heard this.

"What about the blockade of the capital?" Li Jie asked again. In fact, when he came, he considered that the blockade of the imperial city might have been unlocked, but there was a capital outside the imperial city. As long as Zhu Yunwen did not leave the capital, everything would not be too bad.

"The blockade of the capital has not been lifted, but I'm afraid it won't last long. After all, the capital is so big, it cannot be blocked forever and not allowed to enter and exit." Lan Yu finally showed a helpless look. The blockade was just a temporary move and it will be lifted in at most three or five days, otherwise the city will be in chaos.

"How many days can the city be locked down at most?" Li Jie immediately asked, he had to know a exact time.

"Two days, after all, Your Majesty has ascended the throne, and the army has no reason to block the entire city. If Your Majesty issued an order, it would be OK, but it is suspicious, so I can only use my own way to delay you for two days." Lan Yu thought for a while before answering.

After hearing this, Li Jie also showed a meditative look. The two days were indeed a little short, but as Lan Yu said, the biggest trouble in finding Zhu Yunwen was that he could not do it publicly, especially Zhu Yunhe must not make any public actions. Everything can only be allowed to take action in private, otherwise it will cause some turmoil.

"Okay! Two days are only two days. Please ask the general to find all the records of entering and leaving the imperial city. I want to check it myself!" Li Jie finally gritted his teeth and said. He could not have checked the capital in just two days, but he could focus on checking those who had close contact with Zhu Yunwen, and maybe he could find out something.

Lan Yu knew that the matter was urgent, so he personally ordered that the records of entry and exit of each gate of the imperial city were quickly transferred over. The first one to be delivered was of course the Hongwu Gate at their feet. This is the south gate of the imperial city. Generally speaking, ministers will pass by here when entering and leaving the imperial city.

So Li Jie also read the records of entering and leaving Hongwu Gate in detail, especially some ministers who were closer to Zhu Yunwen, such as Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others, but found that they were all in the records of entering and leaving the imperial city.

In fact, this is normal. After all, ministers who are very close to Zhu Yunwen are generally not too low-ranking. For example, Huang Zicheng, although he was demoted to Songjiang Prefecture before, he was indeed quite capable. He was soon transferred to the capital again with his political achievements. He is now the Minister of Personnel. Qi Tai is the Left Minister of the Ministry of War, and is the same as Huang Zicheng. The other officials are also of a high-ranking qualification, so he is naturally qualified to participate in Zhu Yunsheng's throne ceremony.

"General, Huang Zicheng and other ministers should have their followers when they enter and exit the imperial city. Have the soldiers guarding the city carefully checked these people?" Li Jie looked up at Lan Yu and asked. If Zhu Yunwen was going to leave the imperial city, the best way was to pretend to be the follower of Huang Zicheng and others to go out of the city.
