Chapter 59 Playing in the water! Your Majesty, your hand... my last copper has been squeezed dry!
"In the list Lin Xiaojiu told me, there is a person named Yuan Bishou!" Shu Liang said.
It turns out he is from Zhu Qizhen, no wonder!
Cao Jixiang confirmed that Lin Xiaojiu was a Jinyiwei secret agent developed by Liu Jing and was lurking in Guanglu Temple.
"Drag her down for trial! I want to know all her secrets!" Zhu Qiyu pointed at Xiaotao.
Before Xiaotao could cry, Dongchang Fanzi dragged her down.
"Tell me, how many people did Lin Xiaojiu tell us?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold.
Zhu Qizhen's ability to control the outside in Nangong relies on these tentacles. All these tentacles must be cut off!
"There are four craftsmen from Daxing County, including Qian Min and Zhang Jian, seven craftsmen from Wanping County, including Zhu Xiang and Yuan Bishou, and many from the capital. He has seen ten of them. The slave girl has sent someone to
We were caught, not many escaped, this Yuan Bishou is on his way back!"
"Okay! Catch them all!"
Zhu Qiyu sat down: "Especially this Yuan Bishou, who will be interrogated with Xiaotao after being captured, and that Wen En Shuliang, leave it to you, you have to dig out all the secrets in their stomachs!"
"My slave obeys the order." Shu Liang accepted the order.
"Is Wang Wen here?"
"Should be on the way here." Shu Liang replied.
"I'm tired, tell him to go back and come back tomorrow morning."
Concubine Tang must have prepared the bath water. It's time to take a rest. She hasn't stopped since she opened her eyes. It's time to relax.
"What about Zheng and Ji Fu?"
"Let them stand outside the palace gate. One is a mother and son, and the other is a guard in royal robes. They are all people who love the Supreme Emperor. If they stand all night, no one will die."
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and asked him to step back: "You should have a rest. All the treasures recovered by Li Ku are placed with you. All that can be pawned are pawned to reorganize the East Factory. If there are not enough people, just recruit people. They will not be used."
Just give some rewards and send them out. Remember, you need to cultivate your confidants a lot, and your confidants can’t be fully trusted. You have to supervise each other and don’t be deceived by them. Do you understand?”
"I thank you for your teachings. I understand." Shu Liang knelt on the ground.
"Okay, step back."
Zhu Qiyu stood up, stretched his waist, and took a shower.
The corner room was full of water vapor. Concubine Tang held a flower basket and carefully sprinkled roses into the water. The light floral fragrance and pleasant fragrance came from the water vapor.
Zhu Qiyu hissed, tiptoed behind Tang Guifei, and gave her a gentle hug.
"Huh?" Concubine Tang was startled and the flower basket fell into the water.
Looking back, he saw the emperor, his face flushed with embarrassment, and he said softly: "Your Majesty, did you scare this concubine? Let me go quickly. Are the daughters of the palace watching? How unbecoming are you?"
"Haha, I'm hugging my beloved concubine, what's so inappropriate about it?"
Zhu Qiyu hugged her generously and rubbed her belly: "Tell me, have I behaved inappropriately?"
"The servants dare not say anything to His Majesty!" The maids were very sensible and left with blushing faces.
"Oh, Your Majesty, where can I put my face?" Tang Guifei was so charming that her steamy face made her even more charming.
He tried to push Zhu Qiyu away several times, but he held her tightly and could not break away. He blushed and said, "Your Majesty, let me pick up the flower basket."
"I like this fragrance." Zhu Qiyu made a pun.
Take a sip.
Concubine Tang felt itchy all over, she shrank her shoulders, and her body shook unnaturally.
He said angrily: "If your Majesty doesn't let me go, I will never be able to see anyone again!"
"Hahaha, my dear, don't be angry. My dear, please wait for me to undress." Zhu Qiyu rubbed his belly hard before reluctantly letting go.
Tang Guifei's whole face is as red as an apple. Although they have been married for many years, they respect each other as if they were guests. This is why Zhu Qiyu prefers Li Xier.
"Your Majesty, please let your daughter and eunuch undress you." Concubine Tang was about to run away.
But Zhu Qiyu held her back: "The palace daughter is clumsy, how can my beloved concubine be so careful? I promise not to do anything, promise!"
He raised his hands.
Concubine Tang was even more embarrassed and complained as she undressed: "Your Majesty's hands, why can't you be more restless?"
"The main thing is that I love my concubine as much as silk. Don't worry about my concubine. I am praising you."
"Ah!" Tang Guifei snorted: "Don't, don't...ah!"
"I didn't!" Zhu Qiyu looked innocent.
Concubine Tang moved quickly and pushed him away: "Your Majesty, please wash it quickly."
"My beloved, please rub my back."
Zhu Qiyu had a serious look on his face, got into the bathtub, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said in a dull tone: "It's so comfortable. I've been tired for a few days. I haven't slept since I grabbed the door. I'm so tired."
Concubine Tang Guifei walked to the door, her heart softened, and she came back with a blushing face and said: "Then your Majesty, please be calm!"
"Of course, as husband and wife, I will never lie to my beloved concubine." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.
"Humph!"
Tang Guifei snorted, sat behind him, and said quietly: "Your Majesty, does he know that when you were about to depose me just now, my heart was broken? Although I knew it was an act, the thought of never seeing your majesty again
, my concubine’s heart..."
As she talked, she shed tears.
"I understand."
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Unless we dig out the spies lurking in Qianqing Palace, I will have trouble sleeping and eating."
"I never expected that Xiao Tao was actually a spy... Ah! Your Majesty, your hand!" Tang Guifei stood up suddenly, with anger on her pretty face.
"My beloved concubine, I really...can't help myself, I can't help myself."
"Put your hands in the water! Don't move!" Tang Guifei's face turned red with embarrassment. She had never experienced this before.
"I listen to my beloved concubine, please wipe your back quickly."
Concubine Tang didn't know what to say. She was talking nicely, but the emperor died, which made her upset.
"My beloved, this bathtub is very spacious. How about you come too?" Zhu Qiyu turned to look at her.
"I don't want it!" Tang Guifei quickly refused.
That kind of service is something that only concubines do. Although she is not from a famous family, she is still a decent lady and would not do such a thing.
If it were Li Xi'er, she would have definitely gotten in long ago. No wonder the original owner likes her.
However, what’s the point of building goods in Yaoyan? It’s fun to train a good family to build goods in Yaoyan!
"Your Majesty, I am talking to you, please be more serious!" Tang Guifei said angrily.
"I am very serious."
"Then your hand... oh, take it away quickly!"
Tang Guifei stood up again, feigning anger and said: "If your Majesty continues to disobey, I will stop serving you!"
"No, no, no, no, my concubine is the most comfortable to rub your back, far beyond what others can do. How about you, my concubine, also try my technique?"
Concubine Tang exclaimed.
"Hahaha, my beloved concubine, please stay and sleep with me."
"Female doctor Tan said that your majesty should focus on nursing care now." Tang Guifei did not dare to go into details.
"Don't worry, I'm just sleeping with my beloved concubine in my arms. It's cold in the middle of the night and I'm too lazy to sleep alone. Bai Juyi knows how lonely it is at night, let alone me. My beloved concubine, please stay with me." Zhu Qiyu looked back at her.
"Then, your Majesty promises to put the dragon body first?" Tang Guifei felt a little distressed.
"Of course, I have always cherished my body the most."
When Zhu Qiyu saw her promise, he smiled and said: "My dear concubine, come in quickly and I will wipe your back!"
Tang Guifei smiled coquettishly and pushed him away, grabbing the door and leaving.
Zhu Qiyu called for people to come in and wait on him. After finishing dressing, he walked into the bedroom.
The hibiscus tent is warm, and the beauty is like jade.
"My dear concubine, I like your clothes."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Tang Guifei smiled sweetly.
"Huh? It seems to be broken here? Let me show you, it's really broken here!" Zhu Qiyu pointed to the back of his collar.
"Yeah?" Tang Guifei lifted her long hair and turned to look.
"My dear concubine, you can't see it. I'll help you take a look and recruit a palace maid to come in and make up for it for you."
Tang Guifei did not doubt that he was there: "No need? I will make up for it myself when I get up tomorrow morning."
"I like this dress. It would be a pity if it breaks. Come, I will help you..."
"Yeah!"
Concubine Tang exclaimed: "Your Majesty, how could you?"
"What's wrong with me? Look, is this dress torn? I didn't lie to you, did I? Leave it here for now, and you can mend it by yourself tomorrow morning. I like this dress."
I saw it! It’s big!
"Your Majesty, please turn around. Concubine, I'm going to change one." Tang Guifei's pretty face turned red with embarrassment.
"There's no need to change, the lights are all out, and I can't see anything. My beloved, you and I are an old couple, and I'm not an impatient person! Sleeping, my dragon body is important." p>
Concubine Tang was slightly relieved.
But a hand seems to come from nowhere...
"Your Majesty, you, you, you..."
Tang Guifei was about to cry: "Your Majesty's dragon body is important. Wait, when your Majesty's dragon body is well, I will naturally not reject you. Please let me go!"
"Yes." Zhu Qiyu agreed.
"Your Majesty, I am in a hurry!" Concubine Tang gritted her teeth.
"Let the palace maid bring in a pail? How about I serve you personally?" Zhu Qiyu looked at her with a wicked smile.
Concubine Tang simply retracted her head into the quilt and refused to get out no matter what Zhu Qiyu said.
As for that bad hand, I will bite you to death!
"Ah!" Zhu Qiyu screamed: "Murder your husband!"
……
In the morning, the imperial concubine of the Tang Dynasty served Zhu Qiyu to put on court clothes.
"Why is my concubine's complexion so bad?" Zhu Qiyu felt refreshed and slept comfortably.
Concubine Tang rolled her eyes, isn't it all your fault?
"Haha, I'm going to the morning court, so you can rest and have breakfast together when I come back." Zhu Qiyu walked out of Xinuang Pavilion.
Take the royal chariot to Fengtian Palace.
At the gate of Qianqing Palace, there stood a shivering couple. They had been standing there all night, and the emperor had no time to pay attention to them.
Because Wala was knocking on the edge and the expedition was about to begin, the morning court was held.
In fact, the morning dynasty has ceased to exist in name only. Only the emperor is tossing it back and forth, and fewer and fewer ministers come to participate. There is even a folk joke that "when the morning bell rings, more than ten thousand crows fly".
After the officials saw the ceremony, they went straight to the topic.
The Ministry of War and the Cabinet discussed the date of the expedition. Ye Sheng, the Minister of Household Affairs, had not yet arrived in the capital, and Zhang Feng was still acting as his agent.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Household Affairs is short of money and food. The troops are sent out too quickly, and the Ministry of Household Affairs may not be able to spend enough. I would like to borrow part of it from the internal funds, and then return it to the internal funds after taxes from various places are collected this autumn." Zhang Fengqi reported.
Coming!
The consequences of money being stolen are here!
When Ola was knocking on the border, the Beijing camp was on an expedition, and the treasury was short of money and food. It made perfect sense to borrow part of it from internal funds. The emperor had no reason to refuse.
"How many real numbers are missing?" Zhu Qiyu said calmly.
Zhang Feng presented a memorial and said loudly: "We are still short of 440,000 taels of money, and we are short of grain..."
The internal transportation warehouse only has 440,000 taels of silver!
This is the amount quoted based on the domestic shipping inventory!
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold: "This money..."
"Your Majesty, the Beijing camp is about to go on an expedition, and money and food cannot be delayed. I know that Your Majesty is in trouble, but the war is knocking on the border, the town is in emergency, and the military situation is like a fire!"
Chen Xun was the first to kneel down: "Your Majesty, please put state affairs first! Just as Zhang Shangshu said, when the taxes are collected after the autumn harvest, the internal money will be returned. If Your Majesty is still unwilling, you can also count the interest!" p>
Can I conjure money for you?
Zhu Qiyu remained silent.
"Your Majesty!"
Lin Cong walked a little awkwardly and slowly knelt down: "I know that the inner transport warehouse has been stolen, and I also know that your Majesty is in trouble. But what the chief assistant said is true. No matter how difficult it is for the court, it is not as difficult as the border. When the soldiers of the Beijing camp go out to fight, they will always
Can’t we leave on an empty stomach?”
"I have an idea, please adopt it."
Lin Cong changed his gender? He actually helped him figure it out?
Zhu Qiyu asked him to speak.
"I thought we could hold a fundraiser. His Majesty took the lead and asked the ministers to donate a sum of money to collect enough military resources." Lin Cong said calmly.
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in Fengtian Hall.
Voices of dissatisfaction are rising.
"Your Majesty, what Mr. Lin Ge said is true. The national crisis is at hand, and I am willing to fight with your Majesty in the national crisis! I will take the lead in donating one month's salary!" Chen Xun took the lead.
With the chief minister taking the lead, all cabinet ministers donated one month's salary.
Many officials donated money one after another, but the amount donated was disgusting to the beggars.
According to this donation method, if all the officials in the capital were to collect the money and food, they would not be able to collect more than one thousand taels of silver! What the heck is it?
Indeed, the salary in the Ming Dynasty was the lowest in history!
But there’s no such way to donate, right?
Haha, Lin Cong is not offering advice, but burying me!
All you have to do is point your nose at me and call me a poor guy!
"I am deeply comforted by the patriotism of my chief minister."
Zhu Qiyu gritted his teeth and said: "I have also seen your patriotism."
"But fundraising is not the same thing. I thought I might as well sell all my titles to raise a lot of money!"
"Your Majesty, no! Don't grant official titles lightly. This is the ancestral teaching of Taizu! Your Majesty, please take back the order and don't think too much!" Chen Xun immediately advised.
All civil and military officials knelt down to admonish.
Even if he really sells his official position, can he do it?
Look, I said casually, and the officials knelt down to admonish me, as if I was a foolish king. Without them, the world would have perished long ago!
I need a knife! A knife that can kill everyone in the world!
He glanced at Yu Qian. Yu Qian seemed to be in a trance and didn't care about the disputes in the court.
Now we can no longer let his son Yu Mian accompany him. We have to wait until he returns victorious and then use Yu Mian as a sword to hack to death these damn civil and military officials!
"My lords, get up. I was just in a hurry and just said nonsense. Don't be surprised, lords, I was also too anxious for money."
Zhu Qiyu apologized.
I bowed to the officials for the second time!
"Your Majesty speaks of the Tianxian. He is the real Dragon Emperor. Don't talk nonsense. Money matters can be discussed in the long term, but you can't trust nonsense." Chen Xun stood up and slowly advised, as if an elder was comforting his descendants. p>
"What the Chief Minister said is very true, I was wrong."
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "I will figure out a way to deal with the money."
"I have ordered Tang Xing and Hang Yu to raise fifty thousand taels each, making a total of one hundred thousand taels, and give them all to Zhang Shangshu."
"Concubine Tang's dowry and some of my personal belongings should also be pawned. Let's put it together."
"Your Majesty, no!"
Chen Xun also advised: "The things your Majesty uses are royal objects, how can they be allowed to flow into the people? Now that the country is in crisis, your Majesty has set an example, and all civil and military officials should follow suit. I am willing to donate another one hundred taels of silver, and I can collect it when I go home.
Try to take out more."
"First Assistant, you are truly a virtuous minister of the country and my humerus. I wrongly blamed you before. You are really a loyal minister!"
Zhu Qiyu felt sick in his heart. One hundred taels of silver, your family spends more than this on a meal!
Just use one hundred taels of silver to win people's hearts and make your name go down in history. What a plan!
How could civil and military officials miss a good opportunity to sell their reputation and sell their integrity? They donated money as if they were risking their lives.
"I can see your hearts! You are all virtuous ministers! I am so relieved!"
Zhu Qiyu looked excited and stood up: "I don't want your money in vain. In this way, I will transfer the imperial village to you!"
"My imperial estate is one of the best fields in the world. It produces countless silver every year. I will not treat you badly. I will transfer 80% of the market price to you!"
The civil and military officials who had been trying to be honest for the sake of fame suddenly lost their temper.
Huangzhuang is a tricky thing!
The imperial estates developed during the Taizong Dynasty were almost completely turned into a burden in the hands of Zhu Qiyu, and some imperial estates even added money to them every year.
The key is yet to be investigated. Huangzhuang has been a bad debt from the beginning to the end. The more we investigate, the more chaotic it becomes. If we really investigate, we will kill all the eunuchs and still not be able to find out clearly.
It’s best to simply get rid of the burden.
There is also a deeper political reason, which is land annexation.
Huangzhuang is a symbol of the emperor taking the lead in land annexation. If the emperor takes care of Huangzhuang, his butt will be wiped clean.
If one day, the emperor gets mad and wants to investigate the land annexation, it will be difficult for the civil and military officials to explain. Although this situation is one in ten thousand, the possibility is slim.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Manor is your Majesty's livelihood. Selling it to ministers and others may not be in line with etiquette." Chen Xun was also undecided.
Huangzhuang loses money in the hands of the emperor, but if it is in their hands, it will become a golden coin that lays eggs.
"I can see the heart of the chief minister and all the officials. Their salary and salary are enough to help our country go to disaster, so I reciprocate the favor and plan to sell half of the imperial manor and half to give it to them to reassure my ministers." p>
Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "Now that the inner transport warehouse has been stolen, only nine of the ten warehouses are left, and the inner warehouse is also empty. I am suffering from no money and have no other choice but to sell my ancestral property."
"How much does Your Majesty ask for?"
As soon as Chen Xung finished asking, the censor Yang Xuan stood up and said loudly: "Sir Chen, this is a court meeting, not a vegetable market! Won't it damage the dignity of the country to be as fussy as a businessman?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty cares for me, and my heart is warm. I also ask your Majesty to give top priority to the important events of the expedition, and leave the affairs of the imperial village and other merchant affairs to the eunuchs. Such dirty things should not be dirty.
His Majesty's hand!"
What he said was so high-sounding that it actually attracted a round of applause.
During the reign of Emperor Taizu, merchants were beaten into dust, and merchants were at the bottom of society.
However, among these guys standing in the court who talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and talk about businessmen as dogs, who doesn’t have a few businessmen as lackeys behind them? Which industry does not have their tentacles?
Huh, don't let me get involved in business affairs. It's so sweet of you to talk behind my back. I dare to use the methods of my ancestors only for me!
"What Yang Yushi said is very true. Let Yang Yushi handle the auction of the imperial village!" Zhu Qiyu said lightly.
Yang Xuan was stunned for a moment, but it was as if he had eaten a fly. He hated merchants the most, so he advised his majesty to stay away from merchants, but your majesty wanted to turn him into a merchant.
"Your Majesty..."
Zhu Qiyu interrupted him and said sternly: "Okay! Fengtian Palace is not a place for you to sell your reputation!"
"Morning morning and early morning meeting is the meeting to solve problems!"
"The army is going on an expedition and is in urgent need of military expenses. I won't sell the imperial village, so you can pay for the army!"
"You don't have money, how can you stop Wala Kebian with your mouth?"
"Brainless thing!"
"Get out and get ten sticks!"
"And you all are procurators! Next time you give me advice, pay attention to the occasion! Keep your priorities straight!"
"Taizu gave you the right to speak, not just to talk shit and delay business!"
"If someone jumps out again and says that there is nothing, I will go on a killing spree!"
"Taizu can give you the right to speak!"
"I can take it back too!"
Zhu Qiyu was angry.
"I am guilty! Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Chen Xun took the lead and knelt down to apologize.
Sooner or later, I will take back the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to spew shit!
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed: "Get up and continue talking!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
It is best to finalize the matter of Huangzhuang directly.
He got rid of the burden of Huangzhuang and had an excuse to investigate and annex land in the future.
"Your Majesty, I and I are very gentle. Even if Your Majesty sells the Imperial Manor at a low price, I will not be able to take it over. Why not let the Ministry of Household Affairs contact the merchants and sell the Imperial Manor to them. What do you think, Your Majesty?" Chen Xun thought of a compromise.
.
Chen Xun is not an old man, he will do things according to the emperor's wishes.
"The words of the first assistant are reasonable, let's leave it to the Ministry of Accounts. Jin Zhong, you come and contact Zhang Shangshu. The higher the price, the better. Once the money is obtained, send it directly to the Ministry of Accounts."
Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "Gentlemen, is there any way to raise money?"
Seeing the emperor scratching his head, Chen Xun wanted to laugh. This is the emperor who is obedient. The emperor should squat in the cage and wait for others to feed him. Only if he feeds you can you eat. If he doesn't feed you, you will be hungry.<
/p>
Chen Xun shook his head, but no one offered any advice.
If you don't speak, you are forcing the emperor.
If you still have money, take it out and stop pretending.
"That's all. Everything copied by the traitors, spies and others who participated in the rebellion does not need to be sent to the internal funds, but all is sent to the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "First Assistant, what do you think?"
These bastards are trying to squeeze every last drop of my blood out of me!
They don't allow me to leave a little money and do anything!
Not to mention forming the Tiqi, Dongchang doesn’t even have enough money to reorganize the Jinyiwei this time!
How cruel!
"Your Majesty is indeed a virtuous king, long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!" Chen Xun took the lead in kowtowing, and all the civil and military officials shouted long live.
I am not a virtuous king! I am a king who has subjugated my country!
Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath to calm down his anger. But something suddenly occurred to him. Will they take the opportunity to protect the families of Wang Ao, Jiang Yuan and others?
Are you even trying to stop me from digging out Xu Youzhen?
Kill several birds with one stone.
Originally, he planned to search the whole city for Xu Youzhen in the name of ransacking his house.
Now that all the furniture confiscated from the house has been sent to the Ministry of Household Affairs, doesn’t it have nothing to do with Dongchang? In what other name did Dongchang arrest Xu Youzhen?
What a profound calculation!
I pretended to be mad and killed so many people, but I ended up making wedding clothes for you!
I killed the man, and the official position was occupied by your people; even the belongings obtained by ransacking the house fell into your pockets?
I got nothing!
It has become a knife in your hands!
No wonder they are not worried that Fan Guang has obtained the command of the 50,000-yuan Beijing Camp, because I have no money!
If you don't have money, you can't win over the soldiers in the capital, and the soldiers won't work for Fan Guang. It's like saying that I caught a lonely person.
A hole that had been torn open through so much hard work has finally been closed!
I have no money and a headache!
"Get back together." Zhu Qiyu was helpless.
It’s really uncomfortable to be played by someone and have to count their money obediently.
Yang Xuan came in after receiving the imperial stick, and his expression was actually a bit joyful. As a censor, he is a true censor after being beaten with a imperial rod.
After another discussion, the morning court gradually came to an end.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to play!" Censor Wei Han stood up and said loudly.
"Speak."
"I am reporting that Wang Lun, the son of the cabinet minister Wang Wen, is arrogant and domineering in his hometown and commits violence and murders!"
Wei Han knelt on the ground and presented a memorial.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Wang Wen suddenly, and Wang Wen was also confused. Why did the censor Wei Han bite him?
In the cabinet, although Gao Gu was one of Wang Wen's picks, Wang Wen and Gao Gu had a bad relationship, so when the emperor wanted to have Gao Gu dissected, he made sarcastic remarks.
But he has a very good relationship with Chen Xun, the first assistant. Wei Han is Chen Xun’s party member, so why did he come out to bite him?
Bang!
Zhu Qiyu slammed the memorial on the imperial case and shouted: "Wang Wen! Give me an explanation!"
Jin Zhong took down the memorial and showed it to Wang Wen.
Wang Wen's expression changed, and he glanced at Chen Xun subconsciously. Chen Xun remained unmoved, and his heart slowly sank.
This is Chen Xun's revenge for being the emperor's lackey.
But what about the emperor? Was he dissatisfied with his swing between the emperor and the civil servants, so he took the opportunity to beat him?
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I was not aware of the above accusations!"
Wang Wen stabilized his mind and said loudly: "The memorial submitted by Wei Yushi said that Wang Lun was jealous during the tea siege and beat Zhao Yuanwai to death."
"Wang Lun is indeed studying in his hometown, but I neglect to discipline him."
"I also ask your Majesty to issue an order to arrest a group of people. There is no need to consider the minister's face. If the minister kills someone, let the minister pay for his life. I will have no complaints. If the minister is wronged, please ask the Holy Spirit to avenge the minister!"
Chen Xun and others frowned, Wang Wen was determined to become the emperor's lackey.
Zhu Qiyu was slightly satisfied with what he said: "Then according to Wang Qing's words, we will arrest Wang Lun and others and hand them over to the Ministry of Punishment for trial."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Wang Wen was confused.
He only had one son, and he worked very hard for his son's career. During the provincial examination, he ignored the examiners and opened a back door for his son.
He was impeached by the court for this, but the emperor finally suppressed him.
Now Chen Xun brought up the old matter again and slapped him seven inches.
Wang Wen gritted his teeth and remained silent.
Zhu Qiyu's face didn't look good either, and Chen Xun's revenge was too violent.
All the officials who took refuge in him met with a bad end!
First, Fan Guang's family was disturbed, and then Wang Wen's son, Wang Lun, was accused of murder...
As if to warn everyone, those who take refuge in the emperor will not end well!
If this problem cannot be solved, he will become a polished commander again!
How to break the situation?
"I asked the chief assistant to introduce merchants, and Jin Zhong went to contact them. He sold all the imperial houses and sent all the proceeds to the Ministry of Household Affairs. All the proceeds from the house confiscation were also sent to the Ministry of Household Affairs. I then asked Tang Xing and Hangzhou
Yu also sent the money, the valuable objects in my palace and the dowry of Tang Guifei to the Ministry of Household Affairs to be used as military supplies."
Zhu Qiyu is really frustrated.
He said he was borrowing the money, but in the autumn, the Ministry of Household Affairs refused because the taxes were insufficient. What could he do?
In fact, it’s a gift!
Chen Xungang was about to kneel down and shout long live, but Li Xian shouted: "How can the things used by the emperor flow into the people?"
"Do you dare to use the things used by the First Assistant, the Emperor, and the Imperial Concubine?"
"Your Majesty, if anyone dares to use imperial objects, I ask your Majesty to kill the nine clans of them!"
Li Xianyi’s serious words.
Chen Xun's expression changed. He didn't expect that the emperor had secretly dug a hole.
The emperor is really insidious. He dug a hole for him to jump into. Fortunately, Li Xian was smart, otherwise he would have fallen into it.
"Your Majesty's royal objects must never be given away to others. Your Majesty is the true Dragon Emperor, and I don't dare to accept it! If anyone touches the dragon objects, they will be punished by heaven and die! Please have mercy on the common people.
Don't let the royal objects flow into the people!" Chen Xun kowtowed.
Damn Li Xian!
If you didn't remind me, Chen Xun would have fallen into a trap. Look how I cut him open!
"The chief assistant is serious, that's all. If the chief assistant doesn't agree, then he won't be used as military personnel."
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "By the way, the Imperial College has started compiling the records of traitorous ministers. I will inform the chief minister."
Chen Xun's pupils shrank: "Your Majesty, when will the repairs start?"
"It started yesterday. I will major in the Imperial College and assist in the Imperial Academy. Okay, let's retire from the court." Zhu Qiyu glanced at him and will let you be on the list sooner or later!
It would be a good idea to change the name of "The Record of Traitors" to "The List of Traitors", and put all of you on the list!
Go live in infamy!
Chen Xun looked worried and glanced at Lin Cong.
Lin Cong gritted his teeth and stood up: "Your Majesty, wait a moment, listen to what I have to say!"
"I'm tired, let's talk tomorrow." Zhu Qiyu just walked away. Are you going to refute me? The list of traitorous ministers must be decided, and you will be on the list sooner or later, so don't worry!
After boarding the royal chariot, Zhu Qiyu was full of anger.
He asked Wang Wenxuan to come over again, but he still had something to ask clearly.
After returning to the Qianqing Palace, I had breakfast with Concubine Tang, and the cabinet sent over a mountain of memorials.
"A penny can't help a heroic man!" Zhu Qiyu let out a long sigh as he put down the bowl and chopsticks.
"Your Majesty, are you worried about money?" Concubine Tang also put down her bowl and chopsticks and asked.
"Yes, the previous government drained the last copper from my hand and blocked all the ways to get money. This is trying to trap me to death!"
Zhu Qiyu grabbed Concubine Tang's hand and said, "My dear concubine, I can only suffer for Tang Xing for a while. I will take the fifty thousand taels as a loan to him and return it to him when I have the money. How about that?"
Tang Guifei lowered her head and said nothing, struggling with her expression, and whispered: "I listen to your majesty."
"I really don't have much money, so I can't bear to touch your dowry. I'm a man. I won't touch your dowry unless it's absolutely necessary." Zhu Qiyu took her hand and wanted her to sit on his lap, but Tang Guifei Coy and unwilling.
"Your Majesty, please don't say that. Those who are concubines are your Majesty's."
"Really?"
Zhu Qiyu looked at her with a smile.
Concubine Tang's face turned red with embarrassment and she slapped him: "I'm talking to you about business!"
"What I said is business. When I have a daughter with you, your dowry will be given to her as a dowry."
Zhu Qiyu pulled up Tang Guifei and said: "The weather is good today, just suitable for giving birth to a daughter!"
"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense! How can you do it in the daytime..."
Concubine Tang couldn't say anything, but her pretty face suddenly turned red, like a red cloth: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your hands..."
"What happened to my hand?" Zhu Qiyu looked innocent.
If you feel angry in court, you will feel better if you come back and squeeze it.
"I have returned to the palace!" Concubine Tang carefully looked at the eunuchs and maids serving her, and found that everyone had their heads lowered, and no one dared to look.
No one will see it, because Zhu Qiyu is blocking it with his body.
But that sense of shame has always been lingering in my heart, and I can't get rid of it.
"My concubine is too thin-skinned." Zhu Qiyu sighed, money, money, where can I get money?
"Your Majesty, Mr. and Mrs. Zheng are still standing outside." Feng Xiao said while waiting for him to take medicine.
"Forgot about them!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up. Didn't someone send money? He smiled and said: "Xuan, come in."
Soon, a couple walked in. They limped and stood all night. The weather was cold and their legs were almost useless. They reluctantly knelt down and saluted, their voices trembling.
"Ji Fu, do you know Lin Xiaojiu?" Zhu Qiyu said with a straight face.
"Go back to Your Majesty and let's get to know each other."
Zhu Qiyu was stunned, actually admitted it?
"How did we meet?"
"Lin Xiaojiu is the cook of Guanglu Temple and he likes gambling... I opened a gambling house outside. Lin Xiaojiu is a frequent visitor to the family. He lost a lot of money. He paid off his wife and children, so I know him.
."
Ji Fu trembled and said: "I am guilty. I should not open a gambling house. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
You can push it cleanly.
"Mr. Zheng, are you the mother-son of the Supreme Emperor?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Ms. Zheng.
Mrs. Zheng was obviously taken aback. The mother and son were using curse words from rude people. How could the emperor say such vulgar words?
"Yes." She admitted obediently.
"You and your wife worked together to steal the library. Let's drag them out and chop them up." After hearing Ji Fu's explanation, Zhu Qiyu knew that there was no way to get a breakthrough from them, so he simply killed them.
"Your Majesty is wronged!"
Zheng took two steps on her knees and shouted: "I am indeed the Emperor's wet nurse, but there is no record of her entering the palace after the first year of Jingtai. You said that I and my wife stole the treasury, but I and my wife have never entered the palace."
How to steal Liku in the palace?"
"Are you questioning me?" Zhu Qiyu stared at her.
"I don't dare, but there must be a word 'reason' in the world. You are the co-owner of the world, and you should be the most reasonable person in the world. If you have evidence, you can kill our couple. We have nothing to do with each other, but
If there is no evidence, they will unjustly kill me and my wife. I am not convinced! I am not convinced!"
I really didn’t expect that Ms. Zheng was actually a sharp-tongued person, otherwise she wouldn’t have been chosen as Zhu Qizhen’s wet nurse.
"Do you have to provide me with evidence?" Zhu Qiyu looked at him with a half-smile.
"Yes!" Ms. Zheng thought she was invulnerable.
Ji Fu has already explained Lin Xiaojiu. Even if Lin Xiaojiu is brought to confront him, I am afraid that as Ji Fu said, Lin Xiaojiu is a gambler who has lost his wife and children.
"You don't cry when you see the coffin?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Ji Fu.
"I will not surrender!"
Ji Fu is a member of the Jinyiwei Hundred Household, so he is a minister.
"Pull Cao Jixiang over here!"
The strange thing is that Zheng's expression does not change at all.
Cao Jixiang knelt down when he came in. He recognized Zheng at a glance and immediately said: "Your Majesty, she is from Nangong!"
"Fart! What do you call a person from Nangong? I am the mother and son of the Supreme Emperor! Everyone in the world knows it! You damn eunuch, how dare you bite me at will? No one can put a shit basin on my head for something I haven't done!
"Ms. Zheng acted recklessly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Cao Jixiang became angry and stopped talking. He really had no evidence.
Zhu Qiyu frowned. Lin Xiaojiu was definitely not wrong. Ji Fu must have been the one who sent the oil paper into the palace, but who was there to meet him at the palace gate?
If Zheng and his wife are released this time, it will be difficult to catch them again.
Zhu Qiyu hesitated.
"Slave, please see your Majesty!"
But at this moment, Shu Liangfenghuohuo came to visit him. He glanced at Mrs. Zheng and said, "I interrogated the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital and made a new discovery!"
Suddenly, Zheng's face turned pale.
Ji Fu's body was shaking uncontrollably.
"In the early morning of the 16th day of the first lunar month, one of the imperial doctors responsible for treating the injuries of the ministers was named Xu Xun, who served as the warder of the imperial hospital."
Shu Liang said: "This person confessed!"
Plop!
Ji Furuan fell to the ground, exposed! Everything was exposed!
"Xu Xun? Xu Biao's son?" Zhu Qiyu frowned.
There were so many loopholes that day that Xu Biao's son was actually allowed to enter and exit Fengtian Hall. Fortunately, he was protected by Fan Guang at the time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
"Your Majesty has a good memory, so Xu Biao's son, Xu Xun, serves as the head of the imperial hospital!"
Shu Liang boasted: "He confessed. It was he who received the oil paper from Ji Fu that day and gave it to an eunuch named Jiang Mian!"
"Jiang Mian?" Zhu Qiyu was surprised again.
Jiang Mian is a royal eunuch, and the original owner promoted his younger brother Jiang Cheng to the Imperial Guard, but he didn't expect that Jiang Mian was also from Zhu Qizhen?
It’s really hard to guard against!
"Yes, it's Jiang Mian. I have sent people to capture Jiang Mian, but his brother Jiang Cheng is missing. I have sent people to arrest him," Shu Liang said.
Zheng's vision went dark and she almost fainted.
"Come here, splash her awake!" How could Zhu Qiyu let go of this God-given opportunity?
"Your Majesty, carpets are precious. It's not worth waking up a bitch because she soiled the carpet." Shu Liang is good at this.
Bang bang bang!
Holding the scabbard, he chopped Zheng's head wildly.
Ms. Zheng screamed repeatedly, her head was covered with big bumps, and her cheeks were bruised and bloody.
"You still dare to scream? Shut up! If the emperor tells you to scream, you can scream again! If the emperor doesn't let you scream, just shut up!"
Shu Liang raised the scabbard high and hit Mr. Zheng hard on the forehead.
A stream of blood flowed from his forehead.
Mrs. Zheng swayed and was about to faint again.
"You dare to faint?" Shu Liang pretended to strike again.
"No, no, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore!"
Mrs. Zheng endured the discomfort, her face full of panic.
"Kneel down." Shu Liang shouted coldly.
Mrs. Zheng, kneel down properly.
Look, she should have been cleaned up like this a long time ago.
"I ask you, do you know Xu Xun?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold.
Just as Zheng was about to quibble, Shu Liang picked up the scabbard.
"Know!" Mrs. Zheng closed her eyes in despair.
"Tell me, how did you steal Riku?"
"I did not participate..."
Snap!
Shu Liang hit her hard on the head with the scabbard and snorted coldly: "Are you worthy of being called my concubine? Slave! You cheap maid!"
With another backhand slap, Zheng was knocked to the ground.
She struggled to get up again, crying and calling her a maidservant.
"Who do you think you are? They are the mother and son of the Supreme Emperor, do you know? They are the Supreme Emperor!" Shu Liang said fiercely.
"Know!"
Mrs. Zheng shrank her head: "My slave, I didn't participate and I don't know anything."
When I saw Shu Liang, I wanted to beat her again.
She didn't dare to hide it anymore, so she told everything: "We are responsible for delivering the oil paper to Xu Xun. We don't know what happened next! We really don't know!"
"Who contacted you?" Zhu Qiyu did not go into details.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Zheng confessed them all.
They had a secret code to contact the Supreme Emperor. In the early morning of the 16th day of the first lunar month, someone used this secret code to contact them, and they acted according to the plan.
"Who is your upline?"
"It's the Supreme Emperor. Because the Supreme Emperor is in Nangong, we all communicate by code."
Zheng said: "We only recognize codes, not people."
Password?
In other words, Zhu Qizhen in Nangong was in direct contact with the Zheng family.
According to what she said, there haven’t been many contacts in the past eight years. We only contacted twice this year, one was for the uprising, and the second was this time.
"Lin Xiaojiu was also contacted by you?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Yes! Lin Xiaojiu is just a cook from Guanglu Temple. He likes gambling and often comes to our gambling house, so we developed him."
"In the early morning of the 16th day of the first lunar month, we received all the plan contents."
"I contacted Lin Xiaojiu and asked him to prepare oil paper. After Ji Fu took the oil paper, he sent it to the gate of the palace and handed it to Xu Xun. We really don't know what happened next."
"We are fully executing according to the plan. Each of us only knows the content, but does not know who will execute it."
"So we really don't know where Riku's baby is!"
Zheng answered tremblingly.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered, Zheng must not have lied.
But this is so strange.
Why did Zhu Qizhen want to steal Liku? He didn't hesitate to put all the secret moves on the bright side. Didn't he know that doing so would put all the secret moves in danger of overthrowing?
Why did he do this?
Are there any benefits?
Zhu Qiyu couldn't figure it out. The library was stolen. The more he investigated, the more confused he became, although all the clues pointed to Zhu Qizhen.
But the more he thought about it, the less it had to do with Zhu Qizhen.
It is very possible that someone is using Zhu Qizhen's hand to attack Zhu Qiyu.
He is also using Zhu Qiyu’s hand to attack Zhu Qizhen.
Provoking a fight between brothers in the Tian family.
Who will benefit from it?
The more Zhu Qiyu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wang is asking to see you. He is very anxious and wants to see you as soon as possible." Feng Xiao came in a hurry.
