Chapter 102 Hu Hui, you decide whether Zhu Zhen lives or dies! We will recruit a hundred thousand troops!
Snap!
Lu Zhong slapped Xiao Weizhen on the face: "You are going to kill me!"
Xiao Weizhen looked bitter and kept saying no.
"Your Majesty hates deception the most. If I dare to lie to Your Majesty, my head will be at risk! The nine tribes will die!"
Lu Zhong suddenly grabbed Xiao Weizhen's neck: "I'm warning you again, I am His Majesty's dog. If Your Majesty asks me to bark, I will bark! Do you hear me?"
In fact, at that moment, Lu Zhong also hesitated.
He also wanted to be less involved, but this case was so big and so revealing that he didn't dare to hide it.
"I know, I know!" Xiao Weizhen cried. He had to inform Li Xian so that Li Xian could make preparations and cut the deal with Shanxi merchants.
He also had to take it out because he didn't want to die.
Why are these damn Shanxi merchants selling stolen goods!
If you sell the stolen goods, then sell the stolen goods. Why didn't you say it in advance?
Wang Shichen is like this, Wu Zheng is still like this!
They don't regard Li Xian as their master at all, they are just taking advantage of Li Xian's power!
Li Xian, this idiot, got himself involved!
"Come here, notify Dongchang and Jinyiwei immediately! Hurry!"
Lu Zhong ordered people to guard the cellar and not allow anyone to enter.
Using the dim light of the fire seal, he wrote quickly and reported what he saw and heard to His Majesty.
at the same time.
Shu Liang also conducted self-examination within Dongchang.
Mengzhou received a bronze talisman, and Shu Liang told him that His Majesty the Emperor would receive him at the court meeting on February 15th, and announce the reward of the bronze talisman at the meeting.
But he was not at all excited, and even couldn't sleep all night long.
As long as you close your eyes, you can see the scene of Jin Yiwei coming to catch him!
As an honest man, I really can't stand the inner torture.
He wanted to confess to the factory boss several times, but Zhou Cheng told him that if he confessed at this time, what would happen to the money he spent? Is it still necessary? Will the factory boss let us go?
That's right, on that day, as someone else had done, he divided the money, land deeds, and salt in his hands among his brothers.
Once you tell a lie, you need countless lies to come back.
In the past few days, Mengzhou had lost a lot of weight. He even dreamed that when the Jin Yiwei captured him, he actually smiled happily.
Shu Liang received the emperor's reprimand and began to investigate himself.
Mengzhou knew that something had happened to him!
However, the first person to be taken away turned out to be Zhang Yongnian!
Zhang Yongnian was taken away by Jinyiwei for accepting bribes from Wu Zheng and many other merchants.
The Dongchang fans that Zhang Yongnian took away that day were also imprisoned in the Jinyiwei Prison and suffered disaster.
He knows that he is next!
Zhou Cheng found him in a panic and told him to run away, but Meng Zhou grabbed Zhou Cheng's neck and said, "You damn thing still want to harm me? Run away? I'm a great scout, why are you treating me like a fugitive?"
"
"Lord Captain, it's too late if you don't run away!"
Zhou Cheng's face was full of horror: "Just now, there was a man named Shi Chong who came out of the patrol camp. I saw him. On the way to Qunfang Pavilion last night, I saw him. He has been following us. He must know
Come on, run, take Xinrou with you!"
"What did you say?"
Mengzhou asked him and asked him to say it again.
"The kid said, that Xiaoqi named Shi Chong recognizes us! If we don't run away, the factory boss will send someone to arrest us... You, why are you laughing? What are you laughing at? Mr. Colonel!"
Zhou Cheng was very puzzled, Mengzhou was laughing.
"Well done, I can finally die in a dignified manner!"
Zhou Cheng looked at him blankly: "Death? Crazy? Are you crazy? Why die? Don't you want to think about your family? If you are caught by the factory boss, it will be a serious crime to kill the clan..."
Snap!
But Meng Zhou slapped him hard on the face: "It was you who caused me, an innocent person, to be dragged into the shithole by you! I can't make any more mistakes! Do you understand?"
"Zhou Cheng, I helped you carry it out once. This time, I'm going to help you do it again!"
"When I get in front of the factory boss, I will say that I killed Zhao Rong and put all the blame on me!"
"I will die for you!"
"Did you hear that?"
Zhou Cheng nodded stupidly.
"Zhou Cheng, if you can survive, burn incense sticks and some paper money for me during the holidays. If you don't remember my kindness, forget it." Meng Zhou smiled at him and patted his shoulder.
.
But Zhou Cheng wanted to call him a fool for not running when he should. How could he be a hero?
You were willing to act like a hero last time, and you're going to do it this time, damn it!
But Mengzhou didn't say anything and dragged Zhou Cheng towards the main hall of Dongchang.
Feel relaxed.
Shu Liang frowned when he heard Shi Chong's words.
He was extremely angry because these guys caused me to lose the trust of the emperor and be reprimanded by him!
Where should I put my face?
Now even Cao Jixiang from the patrol camp dares to slap me in the face? I have become a joke!
Shu Liang lowered his head and took a sip of tea to hide his anger.
Seeing Shu Liang's demeanor, Shi Chong was unhappy. If he made it clear that he didn't believe him or wanted to protect the people in Dongchang, I should go directly to the palace and sue the emperor.
But at this moment, Mengzhou entered the palace and knelt on the ground.
Shi Chong suddenly shrank his pupils, pointed at him, and said decisively: "It's him! It's him!"
Shu Liang was stunned: "What is him?"
"The man who went to Qunfang Pavilion that day was him! The man Xiaocui confessed to, who was wearing white boots and had never touched her, was him!"
Shu Liang stood up slowly and looked at Meng Zhou.
Mengzhou was someone he admired, and he also strongly recommended it to the emperor. Such a person had a bright future, so how could he destroy his own future? Isn't this Shi Chong wronged?
Zhao Rong, that is the third-grade Zuo Shilang. Even if he wants to move, he has to think carefully.
How dare he kill Mengzhou?
Didn't Zhao Rong reveal his official identity?
Seeing Shu Liang's shocked expression, Mengzhou felt extremely ashamed. He took out the bronze talisman from his waist, held it in both hands, and knelt on the ground: "It was Zhao Rong who was killed by the bidder. Afterwards, he destroyed the body and destroyed the traces, divided the stolen money, and begged the factory owner to take it back."
The bronze talisman marks death!"
"What?"
Shu Liang's eyes widened and he looked at him in disbelief: "Why? Did you think there were too few points that night? Why did you kill Zhao Rong? Is it because you don't know Zhao Rong's identity?"
He was looking for someone to help Mengzhou. It would be understandable if Zhao Rong didn't reveal his official identity.
"I know, yes, it was manslaughter!"
Meng Zhou shouldered the responsibility: "Because I accidentally killed Mr. Zhao, I was so panicked that I wanted to use the money I got to bribe the brothers so that they wouldn't tell anyone. Then I separated the parts and destroyed the body."
"Please kill me, Mr. Mengzhou, and spare the other brothers. Those brothers are all implicated! It has nothing to do with them!"
With a flick of his hand, Shu Liang took away the bronze talisman.
Then, Shu Liang kicked him over with a bang: "Come here, arrest everyone from the Mengzhou team that night!"
"Mr. Factory, Mr. Factory, this is all my fault and has nothing to do with anyone else!" Meng Zhou got up and kowtowed.
"Then why didn't they report you?"
Shu Liang shouted sharply: "There is no rule without rules. This is the East Factory, not the Jianghu! This is not a place to show loyalty! If the chief commits a crime, and the followers do not report it, they will all be punished!"
"Mengzhou, do you know who you are?"
"You are not a hero, but an official of the imperial court!"
"Mengzhou, you have failed to live up to my expectations of you, and you have failed to live up to His Majesty's expectations of you!"
"Someone, arrest him!"
"Severe torture, I want to know the truth about that night!"
Shu Liang felt that he was blind, how could he recommend such a thing to the emperor?
First there was Zhang Yongnian, and then there was Mengzhou.
He Shu Liang is a waste!
After this lesson, he could not just listen to others and arrest everyone and torture them. He wanted to know everything that happened that night.
Shu Liang's face suddenly turned gloomy. From today on, I won't believe anyone!
"Factor boss, does a humble position serve as meritorious service?" Shi Chong bowed his hand in a dignified manner.
Shu Liang glanced at him with disgust: "What you have done, we will truthfully write it down in the memorial and submit it to the Holy One!"
"Thank you to the factory boss for your humble position!" Shi Chong grinned broadly and then resigned.
When Meng Zhou, Zhou Cheng and others were being tortured, Shu Liang received the Tiqi information and stood up suddenly: "Gather the troops and follow me!"
"Mr. Factory, Meng Zhou and others are still interrogating..." Gong Hui whispered.
"Keep some people to continue the interrogation, and leave the others with me! When I come back, I want to see all the truth about that night!"
Compared with interrogating Mengzhou, food is the top priority.
…
Jinyiwei, imperial edict.
"You are so smart!"
Jin Zhong admired Liu Chengkuan very much: "If you have anything to say, please tell me?"
Liu Chengkuan knelt on the ground: "Junior, report with your real name! Report Zhu Zhen, and the Zhu family will have food!"
"Speak carefully and don't beat around the bush!" Jin Zhong felt that he was lucky.
Liu Chengkuan said.
Bada Hutong buys food for women from the refugees, all of which comes from the Zhu family.
Moreover, Zhu Zhen had several large warehouses by the Liangma River, which were filled with grain. The grain would pass through the Liangma River and go to the north.
The Liang Ma Gang is responsible for picking up and transporting the goods, but due to the recent severe weather conditions in Beijing, the warehouse has been sealed off and no one dares to transport them.
"What did you say?"
Jin Zhong stood up: "Where are you going?"
"Junior dare not say it!" Liu Chengkuan kowtowed.
"Is your family involved?"
Liu Chengkuan didn’t dare to say it yet!
Just participate.
So, if we transport it to the north, where will there be a shortage of food?
Isn’t it clear at a glance where the luck has gone?
"What else do you want to say, we don't dare to listen;"
"If you want to join us, we won't accept you;"
"Only if the emperor nods, our family can accept you!"
"Do you understand?"
"Our family takes you to the palace overnight. Whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on you!"
Jin Zhong didn't dare to inquire anymore.
The inside story that Liu Chengkuan knows must be a big deal that breaks the news.
Even the emperor may not dare to take care of it.
Don't forget, the Beijing camp is in Xuanzhen. Once there is a rebellion... the consequences will be disastrous.
The reason Liu Chengkuan sold Zhu Zhen was because he wanted to join the emperor, but after hearing what Jin Zhong said, he felt a little regretful.
Once the emperor dares not take on such a big thing, he will probably be found guilty and killed.
Anyuanhou Mansion will also suffer the same fate.
"Come here, invite Zhu Zhen over!"
Jin Zhonggang issued the order, then turned around and called back: "Don't invite Jin Yiwei, invite him into the palace, yes, into the palace! Invite Mrs. Pingyin too!"
Seeing Jin Zhong's panic-stricken look, Liu Chengkuan knew that something was wrong.
But at this moment, Tiqi came to retaliate.
I talked about Shanxi merchants’ grain storage.
When Jin Zhong heard this, his face turned pale, it was over, he couldn't hide it anymore!
He immediately sent people to support Tiqi and sent his most trusted Tang Xu to find food. He took Liu Chengkuan and entered the palace in person!
The sky is dew and the fish belly is white, it has just arrived at Yin Shi.
Jin Zhong hurriedly entered the palace.
Zhu Qiyu was sleeping soundly when Feng Xiao woke him up.
"What happened again?" Zhu Qiyu was very dissatisfied. It was not time to go to court yet.
He has been feeling tired these past few days.
Without the big mountain of Chen Xun, he felt even more tired. He didn't know why.
"Your Majesty, Lu Zhong has sent a memorial, but Eunuch Jin is waiting outside the palace, very anxious. Just when he is calling you, I have received another memorial from Eunuch Shu!"
Memorials were sent from Tiqi, Jinyiwei and Dongchang.
Something big must have happened.
"Send it up and ask Jin Zhong to wait for me at the Qinzheng Hall." Zhu Qiyu drank some water, stood up and rejuvenated, lit the candle, and Zhu Qiyu read the memorial.
Snap!
After just one glance, he immediately closed the memorial.
It’s broken, I can’t hold it down anymore!
He was fully aware of the corruption in the capital camp, but he had been hiding it before, and even warned Fan Guang to keep it all rotten in his stomach and not to mention it again.
But he never expected that he would actually dig out this major case with his own hands.
"When I meet Jin Zhong, you go out of the palace to convey the decree, cancel the morning court, and announce that Hu Hu, Li Xian and other cabinet ministers will wait for me at the military aircraft office!"
Zhu Qiyu originally wanted to go to the Qinzheng Palace, but the court officials tabooed the Qinzheng Palace, so he might as well go to the Military Aircraft Department.
From now on, if we distinguish it, since the Qinzheng Hall is the Devil's Hall, let it become the real Devil's Hall.
Enter Qinzheng Hall.
Jin Zhong hurriedly knelt down, and Liu Chengkuan was led by him.
He gave an introduction, and Liu Chengkuan said the rest.
"Where is Zhu Zhen?" Zhu Qiyu looked gloomy. He could not blame Jin Zhong for being ignorant. He could only say that he discovered this matter at the wrong time.
"Mrs. Pingyin and Zhu Zhen are waiting outside the palace."
"Xuan come in! Come and wait at the door!"
Zhu Qiyu exhaled a breath and stared at Liu Chengkuan: "What do you want?"
Liu Chengkuan was stunned. He didn't expect His Majesty to be so straightforward.
"I want to accompany you to the palace as a late-born child!"
Zhu Qiyu was slightly startled by Liu Chengkuan's suggestion. This was because Liu Pu wanted to take refuge with me.
But Liu Pu is from Zhu Qizhen, can he use it?
The original owner sent Liu Pu to Guangxi because he didn't trust him.
"That's right."
Zhu Qiyu planned to promote Yu Mian, Yu Kang, Guo Jing and others to be commanders of the imperial guards, and Chen Zhi, Song Cheng, Song Rang, Song Zi and others to join the military aircraft department.
"Come on lunch duty today. Let Guo Jing take you to get a set of clothes and become a sword-wielding guard in the palace."
Zhu Qiyu sent Liu Chengkuan away and asked Jin Zhong: "What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, this case is too big. I'm afraid it involves all the ministers and half of the court! We can't lift the lid!"
Jin Zhong knelt on the ground: "I think that by killing a few merchants, the big thing will be reduced to a trivial matter. Just stop it and that's it!"
Zhu Qiyu frowned and showed him the memorial presented by Lu Zhong.
After Jin Zhong read it, his whole face turned pale: "It's over, so much food has been found, we must give the world an explanation!"
What a difficult problem.
Once the lid is lifted, the corruption in the army has been like this since the Renxuan period. Corruption was rampant during the Xuanzong period. Otherwise, how could Tumubao be defeated?
Even if there are 300,000 pigs, they won't be killed by Wala, right?
As a result, all 300,000 people were gone.
Are they real people or just a number? Some people who never existed, those who were paid empty wages, are all counted on Tumubao's account?
Anyway, this is a confusing account that even Zhu Qiyu didn't dare to check.
Unexpectedly, he personally dug up this confusing account!
The most terrifying thing is that all the honorable ministers in the court are in Xuanzang.
If we really want to investigate, will these people rebel and cause chaos? Do we still need Xuazhen?
What if they follow Shi Jingtang's example and invite the Wala army to go south and offer the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun as an emperor? What will he, the Ming Emperor, do?
To put it bluntly, what good would it do to him as an emperor to lift the lid?
Can all the stolen money be traced back?
If I catch it back, will there be a life flower?
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered non-stop, but he thought a little deeper. Is there someone behind this reminding him that this is the end?
This incident was so weird that he had never dared to investigate corruption in the military.
However, the pie fell out of the sky for no apparent reason.
But who has so much energy?
Chen Xun is dead.
Something's wrong, this thing is too weird.
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Pingyin and Zhu Zhen are here to see you." Feng Xiao came to report.
"Xuan come in."
Mrs. Pingyin is the legitimate daughter of Hu Xi and the wife of Zhu Yi. Zhu Zhen is her second son.
After the ceremony.
Zhu Qiyu gave him a seat.
You don’t have to give face to Zhu Yi, but you have to give face to Hu Hui.
"Mrs. Pingyin, do you know why I ordered you to enter the palace?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold.
His expression in the candlelight was hard to see clearly.
Mrs. Pingyin looked carefully and knelt on the ground:
"I report to Your Majesty that it was a child who ran amok and opened a nursing home. It was my concubine who did not discipline me properly. Please forgive me!"
Zhu Qiyu didn't say anything, he was giving her a chance, don't be shameless!
After waiting for a long time, there was no response from the emperor.
Mrs. Pingyin's heart sank. She hadn't exercised for a long time. She knelt with her butt sticking out. She was very tired after a long time, but the emperor wouldn't let her get up, so she didn't dare to move.
"I have food at home!" Mrs. Pingyin looked desperate, so just say it!
"What kind of food?"
Mrs. Pingyin heard about it, and the emperor wanted to know about it.
really!
The unreliable Anyuanhou betrayed Duke Chengguo!
"It's the filial piety of the military. I lived a careful life and couldn't bear to sell it, so I kept it in the warehouse at home." Mrs. Pingyin gritted her teeth.
Zhu Qiyu slowly stood up and walked in front of Mrs. Pingyin: "Ms. Hu, are I talking about my wife? I will give you one last chance. You and your son, choose one and carry it out!"
Mrs. Pingyin trembled all over.
Suddenly I remembered that this Qinzheng Hall is the Devil’s Hall, and you could really die here!
"It is indeed filial piety in the military!"
"Every general has one, and the family used to entrust the merchants to sell it and bring it back with money."
"But in recent times, I feel that it is too much of a loss to exchange money, and all the profits have been lost to merchants."
"So I just sold it slowly by myself."
"It's all true, Your Majesty. I'm not lying at all. I beg Your Majesty to let my son go!"
Mrs. Pingyin kowtows.
"How many kilograms of grain are there in your warehouse? How much was harvested last time? On what day was it harvested? Tell the truth!" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
Mrs. Pingyin didn't dare to say.
Because there are too many people to collect it, when it is shipped out from the household department, it is reserved for everyone in advance.
She didn't know the total number!
But the share of the Chengguo Duke's government should be slightly lower than that of the British government, but not much less.
"Drag Zhu Zhen down and kill him!" Zhu Qiyu said coldly.
"Five thousand stones!"
Mrs. Pingyin was extremely desperate.
"How much did you say?" Zhu Qiyu was shocked by this number.
Lu Zhong's memorial said that the Wu family had tens of thousands of shi of grain. He thought that the Wu family had accumulated the largest amount by selling stolen goods many times.
But I didn't expect that there was indeed a greedy person standing in the court.
Definitely more than one!
Among the nobles, only the Duke of Chengguo received five thousand shi of grain. What about the British Duke? What about the other princes and uncles?
A total of only 400,000 stone!
Is there even one tenth of it that is actually sent to the front line and eaten by the soldiers?
How do you ask your soldiers to fight? Are you going to die of hunger?
"Do you have any family or country in your heart?"
“There’s a war going on in Xuanzhen!”
"Already lost twice!"
"Can't you just let the soldiers have a full stomach before going to the battlefield? Can't you just die with a full belly?"
"How exactly am I sorry for you!"
"How could Daming be so sorry to you!"
"Say it and I will change it!"
"I will give you fine clothes and fine food. I have turned a blind eye when you wantonly occupied fertile land and occupied shops in Gyeonggi and my hometown! I pretended not to have seen it!"
"You want titles and world certificates, and I will give them to you!"
"What else do you want?"
"Mrs. Pingyin, tell me!"
"This is a war! The Ora troops are about to march into the Central Plains, and the battle to defend Beijing is unfolding before our eyes!"
"Okay! I won't tell you what happens to the people at the border, because in your hearts, you are the only one, and you have no family or country!"
"Just talk about yourselves! Are you really not afraid that the Walas will attack Beijing City? Will I push your family to the battlefield?"
"Or are you already ready?"
"Once you enter the battlefield, will you surrender to Wala?"
"ah!"
Zhu Qiyu grabbed Mrs. Pingyin, strangled her by the neck, and shook her as hard as she could: "Your father is Hu Ming! Your father-in-law is Zhu Yong! They are all loyal to the country! How come they have become fucking moths when they come to you?"
It’s over! Tell me!”
Mrs. Pingyin rolled her eyes.
Bang!
Zhu Qiyu kicked Zhu Zhen again: "And you little brat! You are the legitimate son of the Duke of the country, and you will serve the country in the future! Why do you open a brothel and use grain to buy good girls from good families to prosper? You
Does he have any conscience at all! Ah!"
He couldn't strangle Mrs. Pingyin to death, not only for Zhu Yi, but also for Hu Hui's face.
But Zhu Zhen can be beaten to death!
"Come here, drag him out and beat him! As long as you don't beat him to death, you can beat him to disability! Zhu Yi doesn't know how to educate his son, I will educate him for him!"
Zhu Qiyu exploded with anger: "Your great-grandfather Zhu Neng, what a hero! Your grandfather Zhu Yong also died for the country!"
"No matter how useless your father is, he is still someone who can go to the battlefield!"
"Why did I give birth to such a bastard like you!"
"I remember when you were a child, all the officials in the court praised you as a child prodigy."
"I also gave you the longevity lock. I hope that one day you will serve me, serve the Ming Dynasty Jingzhong, and do something for the people!"
"What the hell are you?"
"Your father is greedy for food, and your mother knows how to make a living by reselling it. You are even better, and sell the food directly to Wala!"
"The Wala people eat the food grown in the Ming Dynasty, play with the women of the Ming Dynasty, and beat the men of the Ming Dynasty! They invade the land of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Damn it, I wonder why the Wala people can conquer Xuanzang so many times!"
"I wonder why Xuanzang can't stop the Wala people!"
"It's just you bunch of morons!"
"It's your fault! It's your fault!"
"I should kill you!"
"Come here, beat him to death!"
Zhu Qiyu went crazy.
Mrs. Pingyin knelt on the ground and kowtowed to plead for her son.
Zhu Qiyu kicked her: "Ms. Hu, how can you open your mouth to beg for mercy! Ah? You are Hu Hui's daughter. Is this how Hu Hui disciplines his children?"
"Okay, Hu Hui will be here soon. I will ask him whether his grandson should be killed!"
"If he says he shouldn't be killed, fine, I'll let Zhu Zhen go!"
Zhu Qiyu sat on the soft couch.
"Your Majesty, please spare the child..." Mrs. Pingyin was still kowtowing.
"Throw her out and let her kneel outside. I don't want to see her!"
Zhu Qiyu, who was angry, suddenly laughed.
Jin Zhong has done a good job and has given Hu Hui’s handle to me.
I want to see how you, Hu, choose!
At this time.
Hu Xi and other important officials came to the military aircraft.
But I heard screams in the courtyard of Qianqing Palace.
Why does it sound familiar to Hu Hui? There seems to be the sound of a woman crying. After taking a closer look, she sees that this is not his daughter!
Suddenly, his body became inexplicably weak.
"Taifu Hu, the emperor has issued a decree, announcing that all the ministers should come to the Qinzheng Hall to pay homage!" Fu Gang's gloomy and pitiful voice sounded.
Lin Cong, Li Xian and others' scalps were numb.
Is someone going to die again today?
Entering the Qinzheng Hall, all the ministers greeted him.
Zhu Qiyu had a cold face and said nothing, and did not let them get up. Everyone felt a thump in their hearts.
"Ms. Hu, come in here and tell your father!" After a long time, Zhu Qiyu said coldly.
Mrs. Pingyin, who was kneeling at the door, struggled to stand up, walked into the hall, threw herself at her father's feet, and cried and begged him to save Zhu Zhen.
"Speak clearly!"
Hu Hui was an old man, and he knew how to use canes in the palace. As long as the emperor did not let Zhu Zhen die, he would not die even if he was given a thousand canes.
Although Zhu Zhen screamed terribly, it was actually a skin injury.
His mind flashed, and he understood the emperor's meaning in an instant.
But after he heard what his daughter said, he immediately opened his mouth and looked at the emperor angrily: This is the time. You can't ignore the safety of your family and country just to deal with an old minister, can you?
Snap!
Zhu Qiyu threw the memorial on the ground: "Read it for yourselves."
When Hu Hui saw it, he knew something was wrong.
"Your Majesty, these are deceptive words! You must not believe them. The morale of the army must not be disturbed!" Hu Hui said urgently.
"What the old master means is that Zhu Zhen shouldn't die?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes were burning.
Hu Xi closed her eyes in despair.
He stood at the crossroads again.
The first time he was asked to make a choice in his life was when Emperor Taizong entered Beijing. He took refuge with Emperor Taizong. To show his loyalty, he traveled across mountains and rivers to find Emperor Jianwen.
That correct choice earned him a position of supreme authority for half his life.
Now, the current emperor has given him a second choice.
If he makes the right choice, he will continue to be an extremely popular minister; if he makes the wrong choice, his family will be buried with him.
Hu Hui slowly knocked his head on the ground: "It is entirely up to Your Majesty to make the decision. I have no objection at all!"
Mrs. Pingyin's eyes widened. Father, did he really not care about her?
In her peripheral vision, she saw her father's hint.
It was immediately clear that the emperor would not kill Zhu Zhen. What the emperor wanted was for Hu Hui to compromise.
The ball was kicked back.
Zhu Qiyu was dissatisfied with the old cunning Hu Hui: "I'll give you death."
Mrs. Pingyin exclaimed.
"I know that the old master cannot bear to kill his own grandson. I will do this evil man!"
"The state has national laws, and every family has its own rules!"
"I cannot tolerate smuggling and selling grain to Wala, and the law cannot tolerate it!"
"If you die, this matter ends here. I will not pursue you and your wife for the crime of lax discipline!"
Zhu Qiyu failed to fulfill Hu Hui's wish.
But Hu Xi remained silent.
Mrs. Pingyin first begged the emperor and then Hu Hui, both of whom remained silent.
Finally, she cried loudly: "Your Majesty, you have given me the death of my son, and I dare not complain! But please, Your Majesty, please give me death together with me, it is better than letting me suffer this heartbreaking pain!"
Just mention digging your heart out.
Zhu Qiyu raised his eyelids: "Zhu Zhen is unfilial by letting Mrs. Pingyin suffer such heart-breaking pains. Then let Zhu Zhen have his heart cut open. Drag him in and do the dissection, and let Mrs. Pingyin see how this unfilial son is dismembered.
It makes her feel happy!"
Mrs. Pingyin’s eyes widened, the emperor wanted me to be happy or to die? That’s my biological son!
Hu Xi remained silent.
He was in a stalemate with the emperor to see who could have the last laugh.
Zhu Zhen was dragged in. His lower body was covered in blood and he kept screaming. When he saw Hu Hui, he begged again and again.
Hu Hui was a master of medicine. As soon as he heard Zhu Zhen's energetic voice, he knew that no bones and muscles were injured. The emperor was indeed negotiating with him on the basis of Mrs. Pingyin and her son.
He even suspected that the person who uncovered corruption in the army was the emperor himself.
The thief is shouting to catch the thief.
"Be quick." Zhu Qiyu said.
Feng Xiao tore Zhu Zhen's clothes apart and said with a strange smile, "It's your honor to be dismembered by our family. Be obedient and it won't hurt!"
As he spoke, the knife was about to poke in.
"Father!"
Mrs. Pingyin grabbed Hu Hui and screamed in a distorted voice: "If Zhu Zhen dies and my daughter doesn't live, you will pretend that you don't have me as your daughter in this life! Father!"
Seeing her decisive words, Hu Bi knew that he had lost today.
"His Majesty!"
Hu Xi kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please give me some time, so that I can confront Your Majesty alone!"
Coming!
Zhu Qiyu put on a show before scolding everyone to leave.
"Your Majesty, what do you want?"
"box!"
Have you forgotten the box you used to threaten me?
How long are you going to hold on to my handle? What do you want to do, Hu Hu? Do you want to be Yang Jian?
Zhu Qiyu's tone was cold: "I won't beat around the bush with you anymore. The lives of your daughter and grandson are in your hands."
"Your Majesty, the top priority is how to cover up this case!" Hu Hui looked at the emperor with disappointment in his eyes.
"But I want to secure the throne! Old Master!" Zhu Qiyu had no need to hide it.
Without the throne, whose world will I take care of?
"this……"
Hu Xi sighed: "I will return the original jade of the box to Zhao!"
"Go and get it yourself, I'll wait for you here." Zhu Qiyu didn't trust anyone else.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment!"
Hu Xi kowtowed and slowly stood up. Because he had been kneeling for a long time, his legs were numb and he was stumbling, but no one was there to help him.
The sky was misty and bright, and the room was a little brighter.
Just like Zhu Qiyu's mood.
When Hu Hui returns, he will return the complete box to Zhao.
Zhu Qiyu placed the box in the inner hall.
Then he ordered everyone to come in.
"Mrs. Pingyin, Zhu Zhen, the war in Xuanzhen is still going on. I will wait for you for now, but I won't do it again next time!"
As for insider trading.
Zhu Qiyu did not hide it, and obviously told the ministers that Hu Hui was on my side, so you can decide what to do.
"Zhu Yi is quite a useful talent."
"Let this case end here. I don't intend to pursue it anymore."
"However, since I came to the throne, how much has your family been greedy for? You can't do anything and send it to the internal funds."
"Not only the Chengguo Duke's Palace, but also all the nobles will be returned to the internal funds!"
"There are also corrupt courtiers. Hu Hu, you can take care of it. How much has been stolen from the Ministry of Household Affairs in the past eight years? Give me back what I can't move!"
"I won't pursue it, and I won't ask your name!"
"This matter ends here!"
"Don't force me to use the knife!"
Zhu Qiyu took the opportunity to make money!
He really didn't dare to break the news.
Anyway, using money to solve things is not a big deal, and it also gives the courtiers a chance to take a step back.
The world must not be in chaos!
Wait until the Wala people retreat!
but.
Lin Cong and others complained endlessly. I am afraid that all the money they made that night must be sent back to His Majesty. This is not enough, and most of the money they have been greedy for many years must be returned.
Of course, no one will return everything honestly, that's fine.
"By the way, I don't want treasures, I want silver!"
Zhu Qiyu was worried that the courtiers would fool him with treasure money, which was just paper for wiping his ass.
Lin Cong and others rolled their eyes, when you give out salary, why do you give out treasure notes?
"Did you hear that clearly? Li Xian!"
Zhu Qiyu wanted to chop Li Xian into pieces.
Li Xian trembled all over and knelt on the ground: "Wei Chen will definitely assist Hu Taifu and make up for all the vacancies in the household department! If it is even worse, your Majesty, please chop off my head!"
Pretty good.
"I heard that you are the backend of Shanxi merchants!"
"Absolutely not!"
Li Xian was about to cry. What a backstage person. Wang Shichen was disobedient and killed Zhao Rong. Wu Zheng was even more disobedient and sold stolen food without telling him.
"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. When Chen Xun was around, Shanxi merchants would obey Chen Xun's orders."
"Later, Chen Lard was fooled, and he and Wang Zhi wanted to form the King Li Party. Now I realize how ridiculous I am!"
"If you want to form a clique, you need money. At this time, Wu Zheng found me and said that he represented Shanxi merchants and was willing to support me."
"We hit it off like this, and Wu Zheng and other so-called Shanxi merchants began to support me!"
"Wei Chen knows he was wrong!"
"Wei Chen immediately disbands his clique and concentrates on being His Majesty's lackey!"
Li Xian kowtowed.
Zhu Qiyu was stunned. I haven't killed the chicken to scare the monkey. Why did the monkey fall down on its own?
"Mr. Li Ge, there are too many people who want to be my dog, are you qualified?" Zhu Qiyu sneered.
"Not qualified, not qualified, but I am willing to work hard and become His Majesty's lackey!" Li Xian kowtowed desperately.
He also worked hard for his official career.
In the case of Shanxi merchants, the embezzlement of grain was a minor matter. The main thing was that they went to Liangma River and sold the grain to the north. This was a big deal.
Now that the emperor has relented, what signal is being sent?
Let the courtiers obey your orders!
If you still don’t understand, Li Xian might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes!
"Where's Wang Zhi?"
Wang Zhi actually crawled over like a dog: "Woof woof woof! Weichen is your Majesty's dog! Woof woof woof! Weichen will bite whomever Your Majesty tells us to bite!"
Wang Zhi was really tortured.
The fact that he survived was definitely thanks to Lu Zhong's discovery, otherwise the emperor would have had him operated on.
Nowadays, there is a government official who can block the sword.
On the contrary, he escaped with his life.
Nowadays, besides seeking refuge with the emperor, is there any other way out?
Why did the emperor target Wang Zhi everywhere? Isn’t it because of the troubles caused by Wang Zhi’s party?
Actually, look at Xue Xuan.
I found myself quite happy. Xue Xuan and Xiao Tan were not even qualified to be dogs.
The corpse is just sitting there, waiting to be replaced.
When Lin Cong saw Wang Zhi barking like a dog, he thought of himself inexplicably. Looking back now, he felt so lucky.
"Wang Zhi, please assist Hu Bi and Li Xian to recover the money owed to the Ministry of Household Affairs by the courtiers over the past eight years!"
“Remember, don’t miss a single point!”
"If you don't pay for whoever is missing, the nine tribes will be killed!"
"Do you understand?"
Zhu Qiyu spoke coldly.
Wang Zhi exhaled a breath and kowtowed three times respectfully.
"This matter has come to an end and no further investigation is allowed!"
Zhu Qiyu also broke out in a cold sweat. If this matter is not handled properly, the world will really be in chaos.
Let's wait until the world is at peace and then investigate further.
but!
This smuggling line must be investigated!
"Yue Zheng, I will leave this smuggling line to you to investigate. I will give you expediency and give you the Emperor's Sword. Anyone on this line can be killed!"
Zhu Qiyu is ready to promote Yue Zheng.
"O minister, I will obey the imperial edict!" Yue Zheng knew that he had succeeded.
With his qualifications, he is not qualified to join the Imperial Party.
If the emperor promotes him, he will naturally do a good job.
"Lu Zhong just sent the message and estimated that he could get 100,000 shi of grain back. Isn't it enough to support the transportation of grain to Beijing this time?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I plan to ask Fang Ying to recruit a hundred thousand troops from refugees and good families."
Hu Hui's face changed sharply: "Your Majesty, although we have food, we can't waste it like this!"
Is conscription a waste of food?
It seems that Hu Xi still has full confidence in Xuanzhen.
Just wait and see, even the nobles in the capital dare to resell grain to Wala, let alone the local merchants?
As for how many weapons there are besides food.
Zhu Qiyu didn’t even dare to investigate!
When Fang Ying forms an army, see how I can find you all and kill them one by one!
If I don’t kill you, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!
"Old Master, Xuanzhen will be defeated, and the capital camp may not survive even one out of ten!"
Zhu Qiyu was not worried about the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.
But if there is no food, if the soldiers go to war hungry, how many of them will come back alive?
The military sucks!
This time I peeled off a layer of skin, they are not allowed to make up for it from other places?
Naturally, the people who are receiving empty pay will be crossed out to earn a pension, and then new recruits will be recruited to continue sucking blood from the soldiers.
And those military supplies, these poor and crazy nobles, shouldn't they all be sold to Wala?
These damn moths!
Will they become even more frenzied and lead Wala to attack Beijing?
Force me to spend more on military spending?
Zhu Qiyu didn’t even dare to think about it!
The Duke of Chengguo ignored the famine in the capital and resold grain to Wala. What about the Duke of England? What about the other dukes and uncles? Where are the ministers in the court?
He also discovered a strange thing. Yu Qian kept his word in Beijing, but when he arrived in Xuanzang, he seemed to have become a transparent person. It didn't work anymore!
I'm afraid Yu Qian can't suppress these military leaders who want to make money!
Damn, the military absolutely sucks!
Must be demolished and rebuilt!
There is a good opportunity right in front of you.
However, he couldn't trust Fang Ying, so he had to send more people to put him in.
"I have given up my will!"
Zhu Qiyu saw Hu Hui's unhappy expression and gave in: "Let's recruit 60,000 people and four regiments and camps first, and then organize them. The military resources will come from internal funds, so we don't have to worry about the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Household Affairs still has some money left, so I can contribute some of it!" Zhang Feng refused to budge.
The emperor wanted to control 60,000 people, and the civil servants also wanted to mix it in.
In fact, the civil servants were more worried. Zhu Qiyu removed the civil servants and used military generals and eunuchs to control the army.
Little do they know that with three-party checks and balances, the army will not rebel!
Although military generals, civil servants and eunuchs will bite dogs, resulting in weakened combat effectiveness, at least they are safe.
When I completely control the new army and kick you all out, I can appoint whomever I want.
"No need. The Ministry of Household Affairs will fund and recruit another group. Each will recruit their own. If there is really no war, we can disband on the spot. They are all refugees anyway, so it is convenient to disband."
Zhu Qiyu added it deliberately.
"I obey the order!"
The proud Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied.
I deleted too much today and haven’t finished changing it yet. I will post it first and then change it.
