As soon as he left the Tenth Prince's Mansion, Luo Yangxing walked up to Zhu Youjian: "Your Majesty, do you want me to be a minister..."
"No need!" Zhu Youjian said solemnly: "Just keep an eye on his whereabouts, don't do anything else!"
When the group returned to the palace, even Luo Yangxing was sent away by Zhu Youjian, Xu Yingyuan stayed.
"Don't change the layout of the palace for the time being!" Zhu Youjian ordered calmly: "After Xu Yongzhen returns, he will pass on my decree that because Liaodong's affairs are not going well, he will be punished to stay in seclusion for a month!"
"Your Majesty, could it be that Jiang Wan found out that he couldn't get out of the city, so he risked his life to come to see your Majesty?"
Xu Yingyuan asked with some confusion: "Now that we know Jiang Wan's whereabouts, give me half an hour and I can arrest Jiang Wan and his entire group and leave them to your Majesty's disposal!"
"Then what?" Zhu Youjian looked at Xu Yingyuan strangely.
"Jiang Wan has resisted and disobeyed orders several times, so he should be severely punished!" Xu Yingyuan said matter-of-factly: "Kill one to serve as a warning to others!"
"You bastard!" Zhu Youjian suddenly became furious and slammed a paperweight in his hand towards Xu Yingyuan, hitting Xu Yingyuan's forehead.
Blood gurgled down from Xu Yingyuan's forehead. Xu Yingyuan was so frightened by the emperor's rage that he didn't even dare to wipe it.
"Severe punishment will not be given, severe punishment will not be given!" Zhu Youjian said angrily: "I tell my ministers in the court every day that civil servants should not be greedy for money, not to form cliques, not to practice favoritism and malpractice, and generals should not be afraid of death.
I dared to fight for the imperial court, but some of my ministers acted according to my words!"
"According to what you said, all civil and military officials in this dynasty will be severely punished!"
"Let's not talk about whether Jiang Wan was someone close to me in the past. Let's just say that I am a civil and military man in the dynasty. If I punish you severely and kill as many as I want, I'm afraid they won't be able to change the world. But Jiang Wan is now
The Overseas Zhenfu Division has 100,000 soldiers and strong horses. These soldiers and horses are fighting hard for the imperial court and the Tartars in Liaodong. When I killed Jiang Wan, did I want these soldiers to rebel on the spot or directly surrender to the Tartars? Do you think I
Are you as stupid as that traitor Yuan Chonghuan? If he hadn't killed Mao Wenlong and lost military morale, how could the situation in Liaodong have become so chaotic now?"
"You bastard, you don't understand anything, get out of here!"
Xu Yingyuan rolled out of the Qianqing Palace while crawling. Zhu Youjian was still angry. At this time, Wang Chengen handed over a cup of ginseng tea at the right moment.
"Your Majesty, calm down, Xu Yingyuan is still loyal and available!"
"Humph!" Zhu Youjian snorted heavily, took a sip of ginseng tea, and then let out a long sigh: "Loyalty is loyalty, but it may not be usable. If you really understand my thoughts, you still
My dear, now I really understand why the emperor tolerated Wei Zhongxian's misbehavior when he was in power!"
"This servant dare not be Wei Zhongxian!"
These words frightened Wang Chengen, and he knelt down with a snap.
"Get up, I didn't talk about you, you're so scared!" Zhu Youjian shook his head: "I'm talking about Jiang Wan!"
"Oh!" Wang Chengen stood up with relief: "But Jiang Wan is not from the palace. Why does Your Majesty have such thoughts?"
"You said that Wei Zhongxian was doing bad things inside and outside the palace that day. Did the emperor really not know about it?" Zhu Youjian seemed to be talking to him, but also seemed to be talking to himself: "No, with the emperor's intelligence
Being wise, it is impossible not to know Wei Zhongxian's behavior, but he not only tolerated Wei Zhongxian's evil deeds, but even left Wei Zhongxian to me before he died, saying that Wei Zhongxian was a useful person and could be reused!"
"Wei Zhongxian, this bitch, although he is in all sorts of undesirable ways, he still has some skills and means. Otherwise, it would be impossible for one person to dominate the entire court. At that time, although our Ming Dynasty was still unstoppable everywhere, we were all
It can still be maintained. No matter where trouble occurs, it can be suppressed immediately. But why, after I ascended the throne and got rid of Wei Zhongxian, our Ming Dynasty was in a state of uncontrollable everywhere. Even the Tartars almost invaded.
Are you coming to Beijing?"
Wang Chengen didn't dare to answer. He didn't even dare to speak on this topic.
"But no matter what Wei Zhongxian does, he has always been loyal to the emperor!" Zhu Youjian nodded slowly: "Jiang Wan is also a capable person. I want his ability and means, but also his loyalty.
Therefore, if he does something a little random, I should learn from the emperor and tolerate it even if I know about it!"
“Your Majesty’s mind is unparalleled!”
Wang Chengen said something hastily, and he finally found the opportunity to speak.
"He is a commoner, and I appreciate and use him. That's why he is what he is today. If he rebels and makes himself a king or something, I don't believe it!" Zhu Youjian said slowly: "So, even if you have to be careful, it is the emperor's responsibility.
The ministers were wary, but after receiving the news, I still chose to go to the Tenth Prince’s Mansion to see him, not even afraid that he would be unfavorable to me. My dear, do you know why?"
"Why is this, Your Majesty, you are in danger!"
"No, no, no, Jiang Wan thinks carefully and always makes decisions before taking action. Since he showed up to see me, he must have made his own preparations!"
Zhu Youjian smiled slightly: "If he says that he is dizzy and suddenly wants to throw himself into a trap, then he underestimates me. No matter what his backhand is, it is definitely not a good thing for me. I even
I don’t want to guess, but if he enters the palace tomorrow, you can ask him privately!"
Wang Chengen nodded.
"So, this is just a question that Jiang Wan gave me!" Zhu Youjian said proudly: "If it was not me who appeared outside the Tenth Prince's Mansion at that time, but the soldiers and horses I sent, Jiang Wan would not care.
Whether it's about being captured or absconding, I'm almost certain that after the Overseas Pressure Division gets the news, they will massacre the officials I sent as soon as possible, and then, if the Overseas Pressure Division doesn't rebel, it will really rebel!"
"Is it that serious?" Wang Chengen was shocked.
"It's so serious. What's even more serious is that the Liaodong soldiers and horses are now the most powerful in the Overseas Pressure Division. Even if they don't resist, they just sit back and watch the Tartars attack our Ming Dynasty. The consequences are still something I don't want to see!"
"I think your Majesty's thinking is too exaggerated. No matter what, this Overseas Control Division is our army of the Ming Dynasty. How could it be possible that the commander would rebel just because the emperor asked him about it?"
"What they eat is Jiang Wan's money and food!" Zhu Youjian shook his head: "How loyal can they be to the court? They are only loyal to Jiang Wan!"
Zhu Youjian breathed a long sigh of relief, with a smile on his face: "Fortunately, I got the question he asked right. Not only did I not attack him, I even went to see him in person, and I gave him
When he had the opportunity to explain, I also explained my difficulties to him, and now it seems that both I and him are very satisfied with the result!"
He said proudly: "Brother Emperor can tolerate that piece of shit Wei Zhongxian. I have to do better than Brother Emperor. If I can forgive my ministers' small disobedience, I can get their loyal service. This kind of thing, I can't wait to do it every day."
