Chapter 118 Go dark, Yu Qian! If Duke Cheng is dishonest, change him to Duke Cheng!
"Zhu Yi has contacted the official." Li Xian said cautiously.
"Are you crazy?"
Hu Hui's face changed sharply: "Whose person is that, don't you know? Do you also want to abolish it?"
Li Xian shook his head wildly and almost choked with tears: "I would never dare to lower my rank!"
"Then you still contact Zhu Yi?"
Hu Xi pointed at the door: "Go out and die by yourself, don't drag others with you!"
"I didn't contact Zhu Yi, but Zhu Yi took the initiative to contact me!"
Li Xian cried: "When the Shanxi merchants are taken away, your majesty will not let me go! Old master, do you know why your majesty is so eager to attack Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"
Because Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the richest, Hu Xi thought.
"Open the sea!"
"Your Majesty wants to open the sea!"
"You know very well how much money Zheng He made from his seven voyages to the West. Your Majesty wants to learn from Taizong and open up the sea!" Li Xian said urgently.
Hu Hui stumbled a few times and fell down on the chair.
Open the sea?
That means making enemies of the entire gentry in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangzhou!
And behind the gentry from Jiangsu and Zhejiang are standing in the court!
Hu Hui, Yu Qian, Lin Cong, etc., there are too many, they are all from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangzhou!
How many businessmen along the coast rely on the sea for their meals?
And this money will continuously enter the accounts of high-ranking officials in the DPRK, and the officials will take the lion's share.
The entire Ming Dynasty, except the emperor, got a share of this pie!
What will the emperor do when he knows the truth?
Kill them all?
Hu Xi couldn't think anymore: "Why would your Majesty suddenly want to open the sea? Li Xian, are you kidding me?"
"Old Master, you said that His Majesty is investigating Jiangsu and Zhejiang, what is the purpose?"
"With your Majesty's ambition, you don't care about the lives of the people at all!"
"If he wants money, he can just send the imperial army to Jiangsu and Zhejiang for forced conquest. Who dares to resist in Jiangsu and Zhejiang? Even the officials in the capital are subdued by his rule. The gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are nothing. As long as His Majesty wants it, he must obey it.
Give."
"But he wants to investigate, for what?"
What Hu Hui wants to say is to rebuild the Lijia system.
Soon, I felt ridiculous again, and the armor system was just a rhetoric.
Since ancient times, the bottom class has been controlled by the gentry and noble families, and the court supports the people, just to suck blood and collect taxes.
Rather than spending money to support officials and collect taxes, it is better to let the gentry collect taxes.
It is enough for the central government to obtain taxes from the gentry. If we control the gentry well, we will control the grassroots. Why do we have to build a Lijia system? It is totally worth the loss.
Emperor Taizong understood this problem, so he only asked the gentry for money. Although the gentry hated Emperor Taizong, compared with Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizong was definitely a good emperor.
"Open the sea, he really wants to open the sea!" A chill ran down Hu Hui's spine.
When His Majesty discovered that all the businesses along the coast were monopolized and huge amounts of money were being made, important ministers, honorable ministers, literati, and military generals all enjoyed the benefits, but the emperor did not get a share.
Even when he knew that the Japanese pirates were just watchdogs raised by maritime merchants, the court spent a huge amount of money to raise them and prepare them for the Japanese army.
And behind Hai Hai, stood the important officials of the court...
Will the emperor's butcher knife fall?
How many people will be killed? Will he still be alive?
He didn't dare to think about it.
"Can he open the sea?" Hu Hu looked at Zhang Feng with some horror.
Zhang Feng nodded: "The money will eventually be spent. The Yongle Dynasty was not long ago, and how much money Zheng He earned from his voyages to the West is recorded in the palace. Moreover, His Majesty advocates business and has repeatedly issued decrees to let the market go."
The shipping company and Xifan trade must be trying to make money from the sea."
Hu Xi closed her eyes in despair.
Li Xian convinced him!
"Whose hands do you want the capital to be in?" Hu Hui asked him.
Li Xian's eyes lit up, knowing that he had convinced Hu Hui.
"Keep it as it is!" Li Xian knew that no matter who he put in charge of the capital, Hu Hu would not agree, so he simply retreated to advance.
"Your Majesty has more than 100,000 soldiers in his hands. You must weigh it carefully. You must not have any thoughts that you shouldn't have!"
Hu Bi was worried that Li Xian was in trouble. If he was instigated by Zhu Yi and others to abolish Li Xian, the excitement would be great.
He always felt uneasy. Li Xian was forced to go to jail, and if he got away with it, he would suffer miserably.
We must wait until our son-in-law Zhu Yi comes to the house, and the two of them can discuss it carefully.
It's definitely too much and not enough. Don't do anything if you can. The current emperor is not easy to mess with.
"The official knows!"
Li Xian got up and nodded repeatedly: "As a Taibao, you are the only one who can be the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Ming Dynasty!"
"With your support, half of this is done!"
Seeing Li Xian's vow, Hu Hui felt that Li Xian was hiding something from him.
"Old Master, this is nothing new. His Majesty sent Wang Cheng to be the eunuch in charge of the capital camp. While consolidating the power of the capital camp, he also had to check the vacancies."
"This is just stirring up a hornet's nest."
"The lower-level officers below all support us. With their support, Wang Cheng will not be able to control the Beijing camp."
"I was shocked by Yu Qian before, and no one dared to refuse."
"Unexpectedly, Yu Qian is seriously ill and His Majesty cannot control the Beijing camp."
Li Xian bowed deeply: "I don't dare to have any wrong thoughts. I just want to maintain the status quo in the capital and let your majesty treat me with dignity."
"You sent someone to find out what is Yu Qian's disease?" Hu Hui always felt uneasy.
Open the sea! Open the sea!
After sending Li Xian and others away, Hu Xi felt completely in bad shape.
If we open the sea, the implications are too great. It is best to persuade Your Majesty to give up this idea. If His Majesty insists on going his own way, I am afraid there will be trouble again.
…
Zhu Qiyu is in Yu Qian's house.
"How do you take care of Taibao?"
Zhu Qiyu got angry at Yu Mian, Yu Kang, and Yu Xuying: "Who brought in the news from outside?"
"I don't know what I said to Your Majesty!" Yu Mian answered with tears.
Yu Qian was on the hospital bed, his face was like gold paper, there were still tears in the corners of his eyes, and he was dying.
Bang!
Zhu Qiyu kicked Yu Mian over: "You don't know anything! How did you become this son?"
"The humble minister is unfilial! The humble minister is unfilial!" Yu Mian burst into tears.
"If there is something wrong with the Taibao, I will bury all your servants in the Yu family to the Taibao! Let them spread bad news to the Taibao's ears and kill my Taibao!" Zhu Qiyu was furious.
How will he reorganize the capital camp without Yu Qian?
How to conduct an in-depth investigation of the gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?
How to open the sea?
After receiving the news that Yu Qian was seriously ill, he immediately ordered Wang Cheng to stop rectifying the Beijing camp and just accept the Beijing camp as normal.
He really didn't expect that Yu Qian could last so long.
"Imperial physician, can Yu Taibao still be cured?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed and he looked at the kneeling imperial physician.
The imperial doctor was trembling and didn't know what to say.
"to be honest."
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is Taibao's heart ailment. The heart ailment still needs to be treated with heart medicine. It cannot be cured by medicine or stone." The imperial doctor told the truth.
Heart disease!
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Everyone go out, I will say a few words to the Taibao."
Xuanying's body trembled. Could it be that the emperor wanted to kill his father?
"The Taibao is like this, can I kill him?" Zhu Qiyu glared at her.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I dare not speculate on Tian's heart." Huangying led the people and exited the room.
Zhu Qiyu sighed when he saw Yu Qian on the hospital bed.
"Taobao, how could you and I meet in such a situation one day?" Zhu Qiyu sat beside the bed.
To be honest, Yu Qian's death now would do him more good than harm.
Without Yu Qian, no one could suppress the imperial power.
However, no one can suppress the Jiangnan gentry. Even if they want to open the sea, it is still far away. It is difficult for me to go forward alone.
There is also a deeper meaning: he needs someone in the court to check him.
He was afraid that he was really crazy, and when the time came, he would play Daming to death, and he would just dissolve in water. He was afraid that he would take Daming with him to death.
With the recent surge in power, he really can't control himself. He is about to become a servant of power.
"Taobao, can you hear my voice?"
"I really don't want you to die."
"You single-handedly helped me ascend to the throne. Over the years, you and I have been jealous, jealous, suspicious, and tested each other."
"You are tired, and I am tired too."
"I have ambitions. I want to conquer Mobei, restore the territory of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, open up the sea, and want the people of the Ming Dynasty to live a good life."
"I need you!"
"Taobao, if you want to be a saint, I can make you a saint. If you want to be an immortal, I can make you an immortal."
"Why bother with yourself?"
"Those people in Xuan Town just have bad luck. I have asked the factory guards to build an ancestral hall and let future generations pay incense and offerings to them. That's enough."
"Why don't you think about it? How many people will suffer if the Wala soldiers march in?"
"Forgot? Eight years ago, from Tumubao to Beijing City, there was no human habitation for thousands of miles, and millions of people died!"
"This time, hundreds of thousands of people were sacrificed and even more people were saved."
"Speaking of the battle to defend Beijing, it was you who stood up and saved the Ming Dynasty!"
"Twice, you saved the Ming Dynasty twice. You are a great contributor to the Ming Dynasty!"
"Taobao, come over."
Yu Qian moved his fingertips, but still half-squinted his eyes.
No words were spoken.
Zhu Qiyu grabbed his hand: "I still remember when I forced you in Fengtian Square. At that time, besides pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, what else could I do?"
"Why do I dare to kill people so boldly? Because I know that you are a saint and you will not seek to usurp the throne. You will definitely protect me!"
"As expected, I forced you into a desperate situation, and you lowered your eyebrows and accepted it."
"At that time, I was grateful to you in my heart."
"To this day, I am grateful to you in my heart. Although you always have trouble with me, I can forget this."
"Taobao, things are different now."
"I have taken back the imperial power, and I have ruled the world!"
"Why can't you join hands with me to build the Ming Dynasty? Be my Xu Da, be my Chang Yuchun, I will also make you the Duke of the country, and I will even split the earth and divide the king!"
"Taobao, sometimes I will be willful, pretend to be crazy, and be violent. I know that it hurts others and hurts myself. So I need you. You can help me to protect myself, so that I can have the confidence to pretend to be crazy!"
"If one day, all the old ministers are gone, I may go from pretending to be crazy to really crazy, and I won't be able to control myself."
"When the time comes, can this great country be passed on to others?"
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Get well, for the sake of Ming Dynasty and for me, get better, and I won't be suspicious of you in the future, okay?"
A tear slipped from the corner of Yu Qian's eyes.
But after all, he didn't want to say a word.
Zhu Qiyu stood up slowly: "Taobao, get well, Ming Dynasty needs you, and I need you too."
"Your Majesty, there is a secret message coming!"
Just as he was talking, Wynn's voice came from outside the door.
Wang Cheng sent a secret memorial.
Zhu Qiyu opened the door, and Yu Mian cautiously peeked inside, fearing that the emperor would take the opportunity to kill Yu Qian.
Squeak!
After receiving the secret message, the door was closed.
Zhu Qiyu returned to Yu Qian's side, sat on the edge of the bed, started playing secretly, and frowned: "Look, you just got the news that you are seriously ill, and the Beijing camp won't listen to me anymore!"
"Haha! My lord, my lord, do you think my sword is bad for you?"
"What if we send people to kill everyone in the capital camp?"
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's eyebrows twitched, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
His eyes moved down: "It would be great if you could get better. Even if you live for another half a year, I can use your power to organize the capital camp, force merchants from all over the world to come to Beijing, and then organize Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I will personally sit in Nanjing and kill Jiangsu and Zhejiang."
A river of blood!"
"Following the trend of opening up the sea, Zheng He made seven voyages to the Western Ocean during the reign of Emperor Taizong and brought back countless rare treasures!"
"The sea is full of treasures, but I won't be allowed to get a piece of it!"
"My great cause is now on the right track."
"What a pity, you fell too quickly!"
"I was caught off guard."
"Taobao, if you stand up and hold on for half a year, and then die after half a year, you can help me and help Ming, okay?"
Yu Qian did not respond.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed with cold light: "Taobao, why do you always go against me? Even if it means death, you won't let me feel comfortable."
"If you die, I will ennoble Yu Mian and make him an honorable minister!"
"Originally, Zhu Ji could have been granted a title based on your merits, but if you disobey, I will not grant you the title."
"If you abandon me, you won't see what happens next."
"Your posthumous name and the future wealth of the Yu family are all in my hands."
"Are you really not worried at all? If you die, I will torture your son someday when I think of it. Do you feel bad? I will let Yu Mian and Yu Kang kill each other!"
"If you want to compete with me, just sit up and hold on, don't die!"
"I don't dare to do anything to your Yu family even if you are alive."
"Yu Qian, go and be bad, you are not a saint!"
"Be a treacherous minister, be a treacherous minister through the ages!"
"I'll give you whatever you want! Get up! Okay?"
However, Yu Qian was crying but didn't speak.
"If you insist on abandoning me, just go. You don't even want your children. How can you still care about my kindness? Go, I will give you the glory after death, so be it."
When Zhu Qiyu stood up, he wiped the tears from his eyes.
The patron saint of the Ming Dynasty finally fell.
Zhu Qiyu opened the door: "You go and serve him well. When he dies, I will not come. All the Yu family members except you three will be buried and go down to serve the Taibao."
"You can't cure the Taibao's disease. There's no point keeping it. Go underground and serve the Taibao."
"The Taibao loves soldiers all his life, so he selected two thousand people from the Beijing camp and went there to defend the Taibao."
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Go back to the palace."
"I thank your Majesty for your kindness!" Yu Mian burst into tears.
On the way back to the palace, Zhu Qiyu's eyes were as sharp as a knife: "Why can't I last for half a year? I don't know when I will find another chance!"
"Without Yu Qian, how could I have opened the sea by myself? How many people's interests are involved? If I go and kill myself, I will definitely become a tyrant and eventually dissolve in water. Yu Qian, Yu Qian, you are mine
The best knife ever.”
"There is no threat to Yu Qian who wants to be a saint. I don't dare to use you like before. I dare to use you. Not to mention your superiority, even if I give you all the soldiers in the capital, I dare to believe it."
!”
"Pity."
"Give the factory guard an order to speed up the process in Shanxi!"
"Lai Wang, are you coming to the capital soon?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"If I go back to your Majesty, Wang Lai has already entered the capital."
"Xuan goes to the Qinzheng Hall."
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Life is 90% unsatisfactory. Even though I am the emperor, I can't resist destiny."
No one dared to agree.
After entering Qinzheng Hall, Wang Lai was waiting outside the door.
"Old Minister, after all these years, are you in good health?" Zhu Qiyu smiled.
"I dare not worry about Your Majesty. I am in good health, but I didn't expect that I would one day enter the capital!"
Wang Lai lamented that he was already sixty-two years old this year.
It is rare in ancient times for people to live seventy years, and he is already a long-lived person.
"Yes, I don't want to work for you until you grow old. However, the reconstruction of Xuan Town is complicated. If you don't get out of the mountain, I don't have any confidence in my heart."
Zhu Qiyu always complimented Wang Lai, and the people who had been serving him all year round were surprised.
You keep shouting one after another, and even Hu Ming is not treated like this.
Because Zhu Qiyu wanted to confer a title to the king, but he was afraid that the old man would not agree.
"In major affairs of the country, veterans are of use, and it is their duty to go through fire and water for veterans!" Wang Lai was a militant. In the past, peace was the main focus in the court, so he was kicked to Nanjing.
Now that it has been activated, you know that the central policy has changed.
He heard about the emperor's recent actions along the way, and he vaguely guessed that the emperor wanted to take back the lost territory.
It was just the time for him to make great achievements.
"good!"
Zhu Qiyu gave him a seat and got straight to the point: "The reconstruction of Xuan Town is different from the past."
"I plan to rebuild the Lijia system. The officials of the Lijia system will be appointed by the central government and will no longer be held by gentry."
"In other words, I want to know whatever I want to know about the situation of a common people at the lowest level."
Wang Lai was slightly startled: "Your Majesty, I said something offensive."
"you say."
Wang Lai sorted out his words and said seriously: "Your Majesty, rebuilding the Lijia system is too heavy a burden for the central government."
"You can control one day, two days, one year or two. When the central government is empty and there is not enough salary to pay to the officials, these officials will naturally move closer to the gentry and slowly become the lackeys of the gentry."
"Now Xuanzhen is a blank slate. The officials you appoint will become new gentry."
"The central government cannot keep an eye on one village and two villages every day."
"The central government has no idea what they are doing."
"Your Majesty, the so-called Lijia system is nothing more than a tight curse placed on the heads of the gentry. It is nothing more than an extra layer of exploitation."
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "That is to say, the Lijia system is useless at all? Then change the system!"
"Your Majesty, it is useless to change any system. As long as the central government wants to collect taxes from the grassroots, it must support the gentry. Unless the central government does not want taxes from the common people, the gentry will become rootless people! They will naturally be submerged in history!"
"You use Li Jia to replace the gentry. It's just a change of name. It's still the Tu Emperor! There is no change!"
Wang Lai said bluntly: "In the time of Taizu, he knew this principle, so he established the grain chief system, and the grain chief was directly held by the gentry."
"To put it bluntly, whoever can pay taxes to the central government will be given power by the central government! If you want the people at the bottom to live like individuals, it will never be possible unless the agricultural tax is abolished."
Zhu Qiyu was fascinated by this: "You mean, as long as taxes are collected, the gentry will exist?"
"That's right, if you become a new system, they will exist in a new form, unless you don't collect taxes." Wang said very clearly.
"So, if I want to rebuild the Lijia system, it is nothing more than creating a new group of gentry?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
Wang Lai nodded: "Your Majesty, your heart is good, but you don't understand the people at the bottom!"
It is not easy to doodle on a new piece of white paper.
However, choosing a king to be the governor is indeed the right thing to do.
I saw the emperor deep in thought.
Wang Lai took out a breath.
There is a reason why he dares to speak so boldly.
Fang Ying, Liang Yue, Chen You, Mao Sheng and others who had a close relationship with him were all members of the imperial party, so he naturally became the emperor's man.
This is also the reason why the emperor transferred him from Nanjing to Xuanzhen.
"It seems that I think people are simple."
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Your Majesty, I want the people at the bottom to know the central government's policies. Is there any way?"
This stumped Wang Lai.
"Your Majesty, the people at the bottom are illiterate, how can we let them know the central policy?"
Zhu Qiyu said: "I can have someone read it out."
Wang Lai was puzzled, what kind of benefits did the emperor want to provide to the people at the bottom?
etc!
If the emperor wants to rebuild the Lijia system, doesn't he just want to control the bottom class?
Your Majesty is too controlling. Like Taizu, he wants to be clean from top to bottom and know whatever he wants.
Later, Taizu also realized that this idea was a joke and finally gave up.
"Replying to your majesty, I think I can send a report to your residence." Wang Lai perfunctory the emperor.
Yes!
Newspaper, why didn’t I think of that?
The more Zhu Qiyu looked at Wang Lai, the more he liked him.
"I will file the report myself!"
"Your Majesty, don't rush to run the newspaper. If you want the people at the bottom to see the newspaper, you have to build a post station first. Now the post station can only connect to the city, and there are not many inns. We need to add more."
Not to mention the inns, Zhu Qiyu also forgot that the inns from Gyeonggi to Xuanzhen were all penetrated into a sieve!
You should always check it out.
"Yes, it should be repaired."
"Your Majesty, it would cost a lot to repair the inn, and it would cost even more to maintain it all year round." Wang Lai wanted to persuade the emperor to give up this idea.
But Zhu Qiyu knew something in his mind: "I know it in my heart. It just so happens that the central government plans to reduce the husband's service, and I also want to do something for the people."
"By the way, I have one more thing to tell you."
"Xuanzhen is poor. I plan to let the soldiers and civilians raise livestock. By the end of the year, my trading company will come to buy it."
Yes, Zhu Qiyu plans to engage in animal husbandry.
The rapid prosperity of Xuanzhen will give the newly relocated population a sense of belonging.
The king came and kowtowed respectfully: "Your Majesty cares about all the people, and I would like to thank you for your kindness on behalf of all the people."
Wang Lai thought so too.
If Xuanzhen wants to restore the population as soon as possible and develop agriculture, it must also develop animal husbandry.
After Wala was destroyed, the large tracts of pasture outside the Great Wall could be enclosed by Xuanzang, where refugees could be recruited and livestock such as sheep, cattle, and pigs raised.
He was also worried about sales. After all, the common people were not rich, and those who could afford mutton were high-ranking officials.
Shipping to Beijing is another expense.
"If you dare to raise chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, I will take them all!"
"Your Majesty, you can never eat cows!" Wang Lai quickly added.
"I know, I bought cattle, domesticated them, and then sold them to farmers at low prices to save labor," Zhu Qiyu said.
However, the beef is really delicious.
The two hit it off immediately and chatted for a while.
Zhu Qiyu stayed with him and ate.
"Here comes the king, I want to ask you to help me."
Upon hearing this, the king immediately knelt on the ground and said some words of loyalty.
"I want to give you a title!"
Wang Lai suddenly changed his expression. Who is a good scholar who wants to enter the cesspit of an honorable minister?
He is capable, and his son is also ambitious. Taking the imperial examination is the right path. With the hard work of father and son, future generations will not have to worry, and they can basically become Jinshi.
But if the emperor kicks him into the shithole, I will be anxious too.
"this……"
"Your Majesty, I know you are not willing to let a high-ranking Jinshi become a distinguished minister. It is indeed a disgrace to the Jinshi family."
Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly and said: "But now, the honorable ministers and I are not of the same mind. What they are thinking about is to welcome the Supreme Emperor. No, just after Yu Taibao became seriously ill, their minds became active and they wanted to dominate the capital camp and counterattack me.
It’s hard for me, the emperor, to do this!”
"ah?"
Wang Lai was shocked, and he knelt down tremblingly: "Please give me the Emperor's Sword, Your Majesty. I am willing to kill the evil spirits for Your Majesty!"
"It can't be killed because there are not enough honorable ministers. Once Zhu Yi and Zhu Yong are killed, the imbalance between civil and military affairs will become even more serious!"
Zhu Qiyu performed a drama of bitter love.
Wang Lai gritted his teeth and said: "I am willing to relieve your majesty's worries!"
"good!"
Zhu Qiyu immediately said excitedly: "When you complete the reconstruction of Xuan Town, I will give you a count!"
The good title of Ming Dynasty was in the hands of Zhu Qiyu, and he couldn't even give it away.
Grant a few more veterans to let them develop their foundation.
Then, the British Duke's Palace and the Chengguo Duke's Palace will have no value in existing!
Send away the king.
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Which veteran minister, Yun Wen Yun Wu, is willing to be a distinguished minister?"
"My relatives are all trash!"
"None of them work!"
"If Zhang Fu is willing to surrender to me now, what if I promise him Changde? But this guy would rather pretend to be dead than work for the Supreme Emperor!"
"Okay, you guys stop me and don't let me take over the capital camp!"
"Then I will let you all suffer!"
"You really don't know who is calling the shots in Gyeonggi Province? Even if Yu Qian gets up from bed, he has to lie down for me!"
"Come here, bring Zhu Jian and Zhu Zhen."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were as bright as a knife.
soon.
Zhu Jian and Zhu Zhen entered the palace.
"Serve me by my side." Zhu Qiyu asked the two of them to serve him personally.
The two of them were confused.
Did the emperor reconcile with their father?
Zhu Jian was the third son of Zhu Yong. The eldest son Zhu Hui entered the Jinyi Guards. The second son Zhu Kai was disabled and was recuperating at home, so he could only send the fourteen-year-old Zhu Jian to the palace.
Zhu Zhen is the son of Zhu Yi and the grandson of Hu Hu. He was afraid when he saw the emperor. He almost lost his life last time.
For several days, Zhu Qiyu spent his time writing complicated memorials.
There's a lot of commotion outside.
After Yu Qian became seriously ill, the Beijing camp refused to accept reorganization, leaving Wang Cheng at his wits' end.
I went to the palace many times to ask for help, but the emperor seemed nowhere to be seen.
Seeing that the emperor made no move, the Beijing camp became even more noisy and openly resisted Wang Cheng's adaptation.
April 18th, morning.
"Is there any news from Shandong?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Reply to Your Majesty, not yet!" Li Shi replied cautiously. The Metropolitan Procuratorate was purged, and now the court was in a strange state, and he didn't know how to stand in line.
"No news has come about Zhang Peng? Was he killed?" Zhu Qiyu was worried about Shandong.
"Your Majesty, I have sent the censor to go..."
"That's all, you don't have to worry about it. Continue to recruit censors from the Hanlin Academy. If there are suitable candidates in the local area, they will also be added."
Zhu Qiyu asked again: "Has the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate left the capital?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, you have already left the capital."
"good."
This confused Hu Hui. After Yu Qian died, Jiangsu and Zhejiang could not move at all.
The emperor's top priority was to seize the capital camp.
But the emperor doesn't seem to be in a hurry. Now that there is a lot of commotion in the capital, the emperor is still enjoying himself. What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
Hu Xi was a little confused.
"How is Yu Taibao's health?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
"Your Majesty, Yu Taibao's health is not improving." Wang Wei said in a low voice.
"The Secretary of the Ministry of War has left it to him, maybe he will be fine one day."
There was silence in Fengtian Hall.
Ever since Yu Qian became seriously ill, the atmosphere has always been so weird.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at it and raised the corners of his mouth, "That's it, I won't play with you anymore."
Open the secret memorial presented by Wang Cheng and have it passed on.
"I didn't plan to say it in court!"
"But Wang Cheng is really a waste!"
"I can't even figure out such a small thing!"
"Six or seven days have passed, and there has been no progress. Instead, it bothers me. Do you think this useless eunuch should be killed?"
Zhu Qiyu asked the officials.
The secret memorial was circulated, and no one who read it dared to speak.
Hu Bi and Li Xian looked at each other, here they come!
The emperor couldn't hold back his anger!
"Where's Zhu Yi? Let me ask you, does the capital camp belong to you or mine?" Zhu Qiyu asked straightforwardly.
Zhu Yi was so frightened that she knelt on the ground: "The world belongs to your Majesty, how can a humble minister dare to overstep his bounds?"
"Then why don't you listen to Wang Cheng?"
"How could Wei Chen not listen? It was obviously the prince and his father-in-law who arrested some generals in the name of free money. Those people started making noise. Wei Chen has been suppressing them. If you don't believe me, you can ask the prince and his father-in-law. Wei Chen
I always support the prince!"
Zhu Yi picked herself clean.
"Do I want to hear the reason?" Zhu Qiyu smiled lightly.
Slowly stood up, walked over, and stood on Dan.
"I know that Yu Taibao is seriously ill, and some people want to see my jokes!"
"But can you see it?"
"According to the decree, Fang Ying and Liang Yue will lead their troops to the capital camp. Within three days, the capital camp will be divided. Anyone who does not obey the order will be punished!"
"Zhu Yi, Zhu Yong, Wu Jin, Liu An, Li Wen, Wei Ying, and Xue Cong will be punished with thirty sticks for being disrespectful in court!"
"Are you satisfied?"
Zhu Qiyu said in a gloomy tone: "Yu Taibao fell, but I am still here!"
"I am sitting here in the Fengtian Palace, watching Wang Cheng take over the capital camp. If he doesn't obey his orders, I will send people to kill him!"
"I want to see who dares to rebel?"
"Drag him out and beat him!"
Zhu Qiyu's voice was not loud, but all civil and military officials in the court were prostrate on the ground, and no one dared to move.
"ah?"
Li Wen's face was full of injustice: "Your Majesty, it has nothing to do with me. Please listen to my explanation..."
"If I don't listen, I'll beat you!"
Zhu Qiyu's tone was cold: "These days, you are not in the capital, so you are lucky! I don't know how I deal with the courtiers! I will let you go through it today!"
"You want to violate my imperial decree just by relying on a little luck?"
"You think that by provoking low-level officers, you can resist my imperial edict?"
"Do you think that with your ancestors' meager contributions, you can be a legacy for three generations?"
"I really think too much!"
"I have been silent these past few days to give you a chance!"
"If you insist on jumping out and trying to see if my knife is sharp, I will give you this chance!"
"Come on, who of you wants to intercede for them? Stand up and say it!"
The entire Fengtian Hall was trembling.
The eerie atmosphere before was instantly broken.
No one thought that the emperor would use this method to solve the problem!
To defeat ten guilds with one force is the emperor's confidence.
"there is none left?"
"Didn't you accept it privately before and wanted to keep the capital in order to resist me?"
"Why is it that no one stands up to speak for you when the blame falls on you?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes moved downward: "Really, Li Xian?"
Li Xian trembled all over.
Who leaked their secret conversation?
He subconsciously looked at Hu Hui, who was also dumbfounded.
Are the factory guards so pervasive?
"I will never dare to have any wrong thoughts. Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning!" Li Xian said quickly.
"You don't have any wrong ideas? Then you and the old lady are quite close!"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "What are you talking about in secret? Isn't it convenient for me to know?"
hiss!
The officials took a deep breath, the factory guards were really pervasive!
Although the emperor did not know the contents of the secret talks between Hu Hui and Li Xian, he did know that the two met frequently.
Gulu!
Li Xian swallowed his saliva and did not dare to speak.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Mr. Li Ge has been feeling unwell recently. Knowing that I know some medical skills, I asked him to help me find out what's wrong." Hu Hui's expression did not change.
"What's wrong with you? I'll ask the imperial doctor to take a look!"
Zhu Qiyu said: "If anyone comes, let everyone from Taiyuan Hospital come and take care of you."
Hu Ming's expression remained unchanged, as if he was upright and not afraid of slanting shadows.
"Why don't you fight?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed: "Zhu Jian, Zhu Zhen, come and execute me!"
"Ah?" Zhu Yong's expressions changed.
The emperor asked their sons to kill them all and beat them!
A son who beats his father is a treasonous person!
"Let's fight in the Fengtian Palace. Eight, let's fight!"
Zhu Qiyu said calmly: "Don't be afraid, I will support you. When you get home, if they dare to raise a finger to you, I will break their finger! I will avenge you!"
Zhu Jian, Zhu Zhen seems to be dead?
Is that called revenge?
They are our biological fathers, okay?
He asked his son to beat his father and threatened his father not to retaliate.
The emperor's heart is so cruel!
They summoned all seven of their sons, who were serving as bodyguards in the palace, and started beating them in the Fengtian Palace.
By the way, their daughters who were serving in the palace were also ordered to the entrance of Fengtian Palace to watch.
"Your Majesty, we are not wrong!" Zhu Yi burst into tears.
The dignified Duke of the country is about to be punished. In full view of the public, he is beaten by his own son. How can he lose his face if word spreads about it?
"I'm going to beat you, and if you defend yourself, it's wrong!"
Has Zhu Qiyu found the reason?
unnecessary!
He will tell you bluntly, I have the final say in Gyeonggi!
I will kill whoever I want to kill!
"Fifty big board!"
Twenty boards added!
hiss!
Zhu Yi and the others took a deep breath, looking at the courtiers who were kneeling but saying nothing, their hearts filled with regret.
It's only been more than two months, how could the emperor be so terrible?
Is it really impossible to control it?
Yes, Yu Qian is lying on the bed!
Snapped!
When the first board fell, the face and dignity of Zhu Yi and others were trampled under their feet.
"I will tell you."
"Even if you are in the capital camp, I will issue an imperial edict to kill you!"
"You don't dare to rebel!"
"Believe it or not?"
"You can't even bring out a single soldier, believe it or not?"
Zhu Qiyu stepped down from Danbi: "I hit you to forgive you!"
"If it weren't for your ancestors' meager contributions, you would be just corpses by now!"
"In your family, there are so many descendants of the main clan who want to inherit the title!"
"In this Ming Dynasty, there are so many people who dream of being knighted!"
"I give you a title so that you can enjoy glory and wealth. This is the virtue accumulated by your ancestors!"
"Don't think you have any abilities!"
"Believe it or not, I will beat you to death in Fengtian Hall today. Your family will have to beat gongs, drums, set off firecrackers, and shout for my sage!"
"I made you human, and you will be human!"
"I said you are dogs, you are dogs!"
"This world belongs to me!"
"I will kill whoever I want! No reason is needed!"
"This world was conquered by Taizu and passed on to his descendants. This Ming Dynasty belongs to me! The territory, population, and money are all my private property!"
"I can do whatever I want!"
"Did you hear that?"
Zhu Qiyu asked them.
"I am guilty!" Zhu Yi had tears in her eyes.
"It's really indecent to tell me that you are guilty with your bare buttocks naked."
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Do you still want to enjoy the title?"
"Think, think, Weichen thinks!"
Li Wen grinned and said: "Your Majesty beats the minister, that's because you love the minister, and the minister loves it! The minister is your majesty's dog. If you want the minister to laugh, the minister will laugh; if you want the minister to cry, the minister will smile.
The minister will cry! The humble minister is so happy!"
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Qiyu laughed proudly and suddenly stopped smiling: "Then why do you not agree when Wang Cheng goes to restrain the capital camp?"
"There is absolutely no such thing as Wei Chen!" Li Wen's expression changed instantly, and he understood in the blink of an eye that the emperor asked him to bite Zhu Yi!
If you become the Duke of the country and are dishonest, let someone else become the Duke of the country!
This is what the emperor means!
Before Li Wen could speak, Liu An became anxious, pointed at Zhu Yi and cursed: "It's him. He wants to dominate the capital, so he doesn't allow the ministers to listen to the orders of the prince! It's all him!"
With Liu An taking the lead, Wu Jin, Li Wen, and Wei Ying all tried to bite Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi was completely stunned.
"Your Majesty, Zhu Yi not only wanted to dominate the capital, but also contacted Li Xian!" Zhu Yong was even more ruthless and sold Zhu Yi directly.
Zhu Yi has finally seen what it means to be a dog biting a dog!
The emperor just wants to create a rift between us, why don't you understand?
This is the emperor’s plan!
In order to keep your title, you can bite me, but when the emperor takes complete control of the capital, will the emperor let you go?
It’s just the difference between dying early and dying late!
Stupid!
"Li Xian?" Zhu Qiyu turned around and looked at Li Xian, who was kneeling.
Li Xian's mind went blank.
What about the blueprint drawn by Zhu Yi? What about the promise to be rich together?
Why did you sell me out so quickly?
"Wei Chen doesn't have it, Wei Chen doesn't have it!" Li Xian shook his head crazily.
"That's the idea he gave Wei Chen!" Zhu Yi also took the risk and bit Li Xian to death.
"It's him, the minister he contacted!"
Li Xian also bit Zhu Yi: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for Wei Chen. Wei Chen has absolutely no disloyal intentions!"
Bang bang bang!
Zhu Qiyu applauded: "Wonderful, what a dog-eat-dog show!"
"My humerus bones are biting each other, okay!"
"One is Duke Cheng, and the other is the Prime Minister of the Cabinet."
"They are all my right-hand men."
"But no one is willing to help me, everyone is plotting against me!"
"What are you going to do?"
"You've had enough of a title, you've had enough of being a prime minister. Do you want to sit on it and give it a try?"
Zhu Qiyu squatted on the ground: "It just so happens that your surname is Zhu!"
Zhu Yi's entire face turned pale.
His surname Zhu was a given surname. His ancestor Zhu Liang was just a soldier under Emperor Taizu. He had no name. He took the surname of his master and adopted the surname Zhu.
How does he deserve the surname Zhu?
"Your Majesty, please grant me the death penalty! How dare I have any arrogance? Your Majesty, please grant me the death penalty! To prove my innocence!"
Zhu Yi is smart.
In order to keep the duke Cheng Guogong, he sacrificed his life to save the family.
The key is, will he die?
Zhu Zhen, who was making decisions, immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Don't forget, Zhu Yi's father-in-law is Hu Hu.
When Zhu Yi asked for death, the situation immediately reversed, and Zhu Qiyu could not go on any longer.
If you really want to kill someone, you have to think carefully about it.
Zhu Qiyu stood up: "Li Xian, when the old lady was treating you, didn't you say anything to the old lady?"
If you want to kill Zhu Yi, you have to get Hu Hui to nod.
Between life and death, Li Xian's mind was spinning. He could not drag Hu Xi into the water at this time, and Hu Xi could only save him on the shore.
"Your Majesty, I pledged my life to you and said nothing!" Li Xian said firmly.
"No matter what you say, you won't tell me the truth. I know who you are. Li Jie, come in and slap him!"
Li Jie was used to beating his father.
Snapped!
A slap on Li Xian's face made Li Xian's heart sink into his stomach.
The emperor will not kill him.
Zhu Yi’s sentence of begging for death was a good one!
"Zhu Yong, you did a good job."
Zhu Qiyu walked up to Danbi and sat on the dragon chair: "Spare Zhu Yong, Li Wen, and Liu An from being beaten, and the others will continue."
"Change to the eunuch!"
Beat him to death!
What do you think Hu Hui said?
