Outside Lezhizhai, the sea of ​​flowers blooms in the scorching autumn sun.

The scattered light and shadows in the hall seemed a bit cold, and the timed crystal on the imperial desk leaked and flowed silently.

This crystal carving has taken the prototype of a modern clock. There are two puppets in the crystal. Every hour the two puppets will beat drums in them to announce the time.

In the first year of Hongwu, a craftsman who served the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty gave the old man a crystal like this, but it was smashed directly by the old man. The reason is very simple. If you don’t eat or drink, isn’t you crazy about spending money to make this thing?

The old man not only disliked these flashy things, but also disliked some bad habits and entertainment activities that could make people addicted to it in his early years.

Among the Beijing officers, if someone sings an opera, he will cut his tongue.

If someone plays horse and hangs cards, they will just buy it.

Cuju, remove your feet.

Those who do business will be exiled and confiscated their property.

If you believe in the White Lotus Sect, then... no matter who you kill is, you will be merciless!

With a creaking sound, the exquisite small door of the crystal carved leak opened, and two painted puppets inside began to turn around and beat the drums, making cheerful sounds.

Although the old man smashed one, the manufacturing method was passed down.

This one was a gift jointly presented by Si Tianjian and the Ministry of Works after Zhu Yunyu ascended the throne.

Amid the cheerful drums, slight steps came from behind Zhu Yunxiu.

"My minister Mao Xiang bowed to the emperor!"

Zhu Yunxi's eyes fell on the crystal carvings, and he bent down slightly to look at the exquisitely painted gilded, "Take a pier and sit down, I have something to say to you!"

"There is no seat for ministers in front of the emperor!" Mao Xiang said.

Zhu Yunxiu straightened his waist, picked up the teacup on the table and sipped it gently, and said slowly, "You go to Shaanxi!"

Mao Xiang didn't say anything, lowered his head and was very humble.

He never asked why or how to do it. Instead, he found a way to do what the emperor asked him to do.

"The White Lotus Sect is in trouble in Shaanxi!"

Upon hearing this, Mao Xiang finally had some fluctuations in his eyes, and he seemed to hesitate for a moment, "I have captured many White Lotus Sect bandits when I was in charge of the commander of the Jinyiwei." As he said that, he paused, "The White Lotus Sect either does not arrest it, but it will be a nest of people if you catch it."

"I asked you to go because of this!" Zhu Yunxiu put down the teacup and sighed slightly, "The White Lotus Sect is everywhere, and the poor farmers and tenants, landlords and gentry, and even the people in the government may be their believers."

"Whether it is the Ministry of Justice or the Jinyiwei, they are all on the surface. I think your manpower should be able to achieve great achievements when dealing with such demon bandits!"

"Don't worry, my elders, I will kill them all!" Mao Xiang said, pondering again, "Today, the emperor will not ask me to come, I will also come to see the emperor!"

Zhu Yunxiu sat on the throne and rubbed his temples twice, "What's wrong?"

"Daning, King Ning!" Mao Xiang's voice was emotional and very cold. "There were two Tartar tribes who led the young and strong to join him. King Ning did not report to the court and privately allocated it to the grassland pastures. The young and middle-aged herders were incorporated into the Ning Wang's personal army!"

Zhu Yunxiu's hand rubbing his forehead stopped slightly, "Is there any?"

"King of Chu!" Mao Xiang continued, "There is a report. The King of Chu was drunk last month and said after drinking. He suspected me! He also had frequent letters with the King of Zhou. I was incompetent and did not know the content."

In an instant, Zhu Yunxiu's mouth sneered.

He never dared to relax his vigilance against the vassals. A few years ago, whenever he thought of Zhu Yunwen in history, he still felt that Zhu Yunwen was too incompetent. After years of experience, he gradually realized something else.

Zhu Di's rebellion in history was the result of the struggle between the Ming royal family and Zhu Yunwen, the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty and the nobles of Huaixi.

These vassal kings seemed to be respectful but actually had their own little thoughts. Now that they are all hard, the old man is getting older, and their little thoughts can no longer be controlled.

Their little thoughts may not be rebellion, and they do not have the courage to rebel. In the fiefdom, they are all local emperors, and they follow the rules with one word. They have a little unusual behavior on weekdays, and no one can do anything to them. They just feel uncomfortable.

But the King of Chu suspected me, but it angered Zhu Yunxi's rebellious scales.

Next, it is him Zhu Yunsheng.

Why did the King of Chu say this, probably Zhu Yunqi could guess.

At the beginning of this year, the King of Chu wrote a letter to continue to strengthen and build the Wuchang city wall on the grounds that the river water surged this year, and asked that his personal guards be increased from 6,500 to 8,000.

In Zhu Yunyu's opinion, this was completely disgusting his memorial.

Why do the inland vassal kings want so many personal guards? The court under his command did not strictly investigate the number, and the personal guards were going to make trouble again?

As for the construction of Wuchang City, it is even more joke. The Chu Palace occupied most of the Wuchang City. Should it be repaired or built?

Deep in Zhu Yunyu's heart, he had no good impression of the Chu vassal who was in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and could threaten the capital at any time. Therefore, it was absolutely impossible to agree to these requests.

Therefore, the King of Chu said after drinking, "I doubt me!"

OK, since you want to do it, then continue to do it!

Zhu Yunxiu sneered in his heart and said, "These things, time, place and people are all carefully in their notebooks."

"Abide by the order!"

Don’t you do it? Don’t you think that no one can move you in the fiefdom? Then you just wait.

You guys are all waiting.

"There is also the King of Zhou!" When Zhu Yunxiu thought of this person, he felt disgusted.

A few years ago, the shadow of King Zhou was behind the events of King Yan Zhu Di. The black materials in Zhu Yunxuan's hands were the most common.

This person is just a smelly and dirty shit stick!

"Do they think I have to forget them all!"

"Do you think I don't know at all?"

Zhu Yunqi sneered again in his heart, and suddenly he had a different mind.

"Come here!" Zhu Yunxiu said to Mao Xiang.

The latter slowly stepped forward and knelt at his feet.

The light and shadow in the hall were staggered, making it look a little dark. Zhu Yunqi leaned over on the throne, while Mao Xiang listened silently.

"If I ask you to investigate the White Lotus Sect, you must find out the root of it. These bandits are deserters in the army. If they can hide their names for so many years and not be discovered, there must be hidden behind it!"

"Are they small or big figures of the White Lotus Sect? You have to identify them. What I want is that you follow the clues and catch them all in one go. Do you understand?"

"Don't hurt innocent people's lives, but when you investigate, you can be a little biased!" As he said, Zhu Yunxiu sneered, "Try to lean on certain places."

"I understand!" Mao Xiang said seriously.

Mao Xiang has never said much, but every word can be said in the joke.

Zhu Yunxi nodded with satisfaction, "You go! Let's leave Beijing now."

However, something unexpected was that Mao Xiang did not act immediately.

Instead, he turned out to be abnormal and took the initiative to speak, "The Taoist Xi beside the old emperor has a deep connection with the White Lotus Sect!"

"Ha, Mao Xiang's words became vague!" Zhu Yunxiong smiled, "What's the origin? That old man used to be from the White Lotus Sect!"

As he said that, he seemed to understand the other party's meaning, "What do you mean?"

"The emperor wants to catch them all in one go, and I always have a reference in my heart. So, before I want to leave the capital, please visit that person!"
