Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king Chapter 61 Chen Xun is standing on the third floor! Damn merchant, how dare you deceive the king? Cut him into pieces! Until he says it!
Chapter 61 Chen Xun is standing on the third floor! Damn merchant, how dare you deceive the king? Cut him into pieces! Until he says it!
The library was stolen and the clues are very clear.
Ji Fu is responsible for delivering news inside and outside the palace, Lin Xiaojiu is responsible for providing oiled paper, Xu Xun is responsible for delivering the message, eunuch Jiang Mian is responsible for taking action, eunuch Ye Da is responsible for opening the water gate, and Zhou Shu is responsible for covering and transporting. The whole clue is complete. p>
However, anyone can steal Liku, except Zhu Qizhen!
Because what he wants is restoration, not emptying his family fortune!
He knew better that if Liku's treasures flowed into the public, it would cause political turmoil, which would be of no benefit to him.
The most important thing is that it is useless for him to get these treasures.
If not Zhu Qizhen, who else could it be?
Knowing all about Zhu Qizhen's secrets and forcing the Tian family brothers to kill each other, who will benefit from it?
Civil Service Group!
"Expose all the hidden clues of the Supreme Emperor and force me to slash the butcher knife at the Supreme Emperor!"
"They also pretended to be confused around me, and arranged for Wen En, Xiao Tao and other eunuchs and maids to make me full of doubts about the people around me and not trust anyone. They drove me crazy! They forced me to kill the Supreme Emperor!"
"What a plan!"
"You fishermen will benefit!"
"I pretended to be crazy and killed so many people, and all the benefits came to you! I didn't even get a hair! I also used my internal funds to invest in it! Damn it, sooner or later I will get you all on the list of traitors!"
Zhu Qiyu calmed down and sighed: "It seems that there is death around the Emperor! He knows every move of the Emperor, so this person must be deeply trusted by the Emperor. Who could it be?"
This is the person who issued the mission to Zheng.
Wait, Mrs. Zheng said everyone got all the contents of the mission? She was lying!
There are so many people in the palace during the whole plan, and the whole city is under martial law, it is impossible for everyone to have someone to deliver the message!
On the one hand, the time was not right, because the theft of internal funds was a temporary act, and there was no time to notify everyone individually.
On the other hand, there aren’t that many people. It’s impossible for the palace to be filled with civil servants’ spies. They don’t have that much magical power yet!
Mr. Zheng is lying to me!
"Shu Liang, give her some color to see!" Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and asked Wang Wen to wait.
"Ahhh!"
Mrs. Zheng let out a shrill scream, and Shu Liang beat her desperately, but she didn't speak.
"Your Majesty, if Mrs. Zheng doesn't spit, I'll drag her out and use some tricks on her. I'm afraid it will stain His Majesty's eyes." Shu Liang smiled evilly.
"Is there anything I don't want to see? Come on!"
"Please let me go get some silver needles."
Shu Liang asked Fanzi to tell her, and stared at the two seats: "Mrs. Zheng, you are the emperor's wife. I want to see if your place is different from the others."
"Ah!" Ms. Zheng screamed.
Because Shu Liang put a needle through it.
"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life! We have all been killed, and we have said everything. Your Majesty, please stop torturing her. You cannot avenge your private revenge!" Ji Fu cried beside her.
Mrs. Zheng's entire face turned pale: "I told you..."
"Calling myself a slave!" Shu Liang took another needle and stuck it in!
"Ah!"
Mrs. Zheng was shaking all over in pain.
"Tell me, who is the person who contacted you!"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Ms. Zheng, you said that everyone knows the full contents of the plan. This is simply impossible. Only you can pass on the contents of the plan. In other words, you are the commander of stealing Liku! So, you must have seen you.
If you are online, tell me! I will not torture you, I will give you and your wife a complete corpse!"
"My slave made a slip of the tongue, and a slip of the tongue!" Madam Zheng twisted in pain.
"This place may seem small, but compared with needles, it is also very big and can penetrate many needles." Shu Liang picked up another needle and smiled strangely.
"No, no! Ah!"
Mrs. Zheng almost fainted from the pain.
"Gag her mouth!"
Shu Liang inserted several needles, but Zheng still didn't spit out.
Shu Liang was a little angry and looked at Ji Fu: "Kill him too, let's try his head too! Is it hard or not?"
Ji Fu struggled and suddenly let out a shrill scream.
"Here we go! We'll go!" Ji Fu couldn't bear it any more, and all the needles went in!
It’s not just painful, it’s terrifying!
There's a needle stuck in there and it can't be pulled out!
"Say!"
Shu Liang wiped his hands with his clothes: "It's so damn dirty!"
Then he knelt down to apologize to the emperor.
"It's Zhang Bin! Zhang Bin!" Ji Fu cried.
"No way! It's not Zhang Bin!"
Zhu Qiyu didn't believe it, because Zhang Bin was Zhang Shi's son, and Zhang Shi was already punished. His son was also the son of a sinner, a man destined for death.
If it were really him, Ji Fu and his wife would not cover up for him.
After Zhang Min died, Zhu Qizhen's biggest supporter was Zhang Fu, so Zheng bit him to death and refused to spit. In the end, Ji Fu spat out Zhang Bin, the man who was destined to die, in order to protect the real murderer Zhang Jin. "Come here, catch Zhang Jin!" Zhu Qiyu was not excited at all. Even though he grabbed Zhang Fu's pigtails, the result made him a little frightened.
Because the nobles of the British public lineage are very likely to turn to the civil servants!
Zhu Qiyu couldn't figure it out, so he looked at Mrs. Zheng: "Ms. Zheng, I'll ask you again. If you lie to me again, I will first arrest your children and Lingchi in front of you! Then I will send you to the Jiaofang Department.
!It’s not Zhang Bin, right? It’s Zhang Jin? Right?”
"Yes!"
Zheng didn’t dare to hide it anymore.
She admitted that in the early morning of the 16th day of the first lunar month, Zhang Jinju visited them at night and informed them of the couple's plan to steal the money. It was up to her to wake up the people in the palace and prepare a way out.
"Where are you hiding the things you stole?" This is what Zhu Qiyu is most concerned about.
"I don't know, I really don't know! After leaving the palace, Zhang Jin was responsible for taking away the stolen goods and selling them. We didn't see any of the things. Really, we were only responsible for stealing. The plan to transport the treasures through culverts was all Zhang Jin's.
Tell this to the slave!"
Zheng guessed: "Maybe, maybe he went to the British government."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered, it seemed that the treasure in Liku could not be recovered.
He was a little disappointed, thinking that by catching the Zhengs and his wife, he could at least recover part of them, but the result was still disappointing.
"Why did you steal Riku?"
"Zhang Jin told the slaves that after the failure of the rebellion, the Supreme Emperor urgently needs money to stabilize people's hearts. Something happened in the palace and people are in chaos, so it is the best time to take action." Zheng said.
Zhu Qiyu didn’t believe it.
It was Zhang Jin who delivered the news, so it can be understood that the British public turned to the civil servants.
The nobles turned to the civil servants!
Zhang Fu would rather abandon the Supreme Emperor than join the ranks of civil servants.
This is the backlash caused by him killing too many people!
I was afraid of killing the nobles, so the nobles and civil servants began to merge. This is to bring me down!
Zhu Qiyu's eyes shot out a cold light.
The only person who has such influence in the court and can be convinced by Zhang Fu is probably Chen Xun.
No wonder Chen Xun took the lead in squeezing out my internal funds and blocking my channels for incoming money. It turns out that you stole the internal funds!
With so many treasures, where can you hide them?
"My slave, everything you say is true!" Ms. Zheng kowtowed, it hurt so much, but she didn't dare to take off the silver needle.
"Who stole the inner transport warehouse?"
"Not a slave! Not a slave! We really don't know. We are only responsible for stealing the inner warehouse, and the inner transport warehouse has nothing to do with us!"
The internal transportation warehouse is full of silver, so it is easy to sell stolen goods, and the possibility of recovery is zero.
440,000 taels of silver, who got it?
"Where's Jiang Mian?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Shu Liang.
"My slave is still interrogating, and the results will be announced soon." Shu Liang replied.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and asked someone to drag the Zhengs and his wife down: "Let them write out the list. Shu Liang, you personally led the people and ransacked his home!"
Mosquito legs are also meat.
"Invite Wang Wen in." Zhu Qiyu drank a cup of tea, closed his eyes and rested for a while.
Wang Wen walked in to meet him. He looked haggard and old. It seemed that he was worried about his son.
"I have come to ask for forgiveness from Your Majesty." Wang Wen knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
"Well, what's Mr. Ge's crime?" Zhu Qiyu remained calm.
Wang Wen's kneeling posture was very standard. He touched the ground with his forehead and cried: "I am loyal to Your Majesty and I will never change my mind."
Zhu Qiyuhan kept his face and said nothing.
Wang Wen didn't dare to speak, and the atmosphere was so stiff.
"Haha!"
Zhu Qiyu sneered and said, "Wang Wen, you did some good work when you killed Gao Gu. After that, look at yourself, what did you do?"
"Are you my person or Chen Xun's dog?"
"When I need your help to speak, stand back!"
"When I want to kill someone, you stop me!"
"Do you think I can't sit on the throne without you? Don't take yourself too seriously! Wang Wen!"
Zhu Qiyu was very angry.
This Wang Wen always wavered between the civil servants and the emperor from time to time. Now that Chen Xun disliked him, he came to lick the emperor like a pug.
When the emperor is a successor?
"I don't dare!" Wang Wen's heart was filled with despair. He really didn't expect that Chen Xun would give him a fatal blow.
In the cabinet, he had the best relationship with Chen Xun, and Chen Xun had the worst relationship with Lin Cong. Now it's just the other way around, all because he speaks to the emperor.
"Humph, now that something happened to my son, he is thinking of me! What do you think of me? You still don't dare? I think you are very brave! Even Liku dares to steal!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "Tell me, why does your pawn shop have Liku's treasure?"
"Ah?"
Wang Wen was immediately stunned and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to you and I will never dare to touch Liku! I have been an official for many years, how dare I touch Liku? That is a serious crime against the nine tribes, Your Majesty.
!"
"Tell him!" Zhu Qiyu nodded.
Shu Liang described the treasure he saw in the pawn shop. Wang Wen was even more confused. He asked the recruiter to check it out.
Zhu Qiyu frowned. If Shu Liang wasn't dazzled, someone was trying to sow discord between him and Wang Wen!
Suddenly, he figured it out!
Someone has set up a big trap.
Use my hands to kill my henchmen! Let’s see who dares to work for me in the future!
This situation started when the internal funds were stolen. At first, I thought it was forcing me to be short of money. In fact, this is the first level. The second level is forcing me to kill my own confidants and annihilate myself from the world!
Let’s go through it again. In the early morning of the 16th day of the first lunar month, the money was stolen and the roof was knocked on the edge. The two events happened one after the other.
Since then, I have been led by the nose.
I sent Dongchang to trace the suspected treasures and found out many spies from Zhu Qizhen. This is someone who is deliberately drawing my attention to the Supreme Emperor.
Then when Shu Liang was pawning the utensils of the Qianqing Palace, he took a quick glance at Wang Wen's shop and saw the Liku treasure, and his pursuit turned to Wang Wen.
My eyes returned to the court. The court asked the internal funds to share the military expenses and forced me to come up with money. They also pretended to raise funds and slapped me in the face! They blocked all my ways of getting money!
Then accuse Wang Lun of murder, forcing me to stand up and defend Wang Wen to the death.
In the court, it seems that I have protected Wang Wen.
But what if Dali Temple finds the inner treasure from Wang Wen’s home?
How can I protect him?
The hat that stole Liku's treasure fell on Wang Wen. No one can save Wang Wen! Not even me!
This is forcing me to cut off my arms and kill Wang Wen!
After I kill Wang Wen, who will listen to me in the future?
What a vicious method! What a big layout!
Using me to kill the Supreme Emperor is just the first level; the second level is using me to kill Wang Wen, kill Wang Wen, and then kill Fan Guang...
Will there be a third level?
Help the prince to ascend the throne?
The prince is only ten years old this year. Wouldn’t he be more controllable than me and the emperor?
Zhu Qiyu suddenly turned pale: "Chen Xun! What a clever method! If I play tricks with you, I don't even know how I will die!"
That's right, only Chen Xun could lay such a big picture, manipulate Zhang Fu and other nobles, and bribe eunuchs in the palace. Only Chen Xun had such great influence!
Chen Xun was known as Chen Banchao, and people joked that he had four great kings under his command, Du Ning, Jiang Yuan, Xiao Weizhen, and Xu Bin. But among these four people, there was Zhu Qizhen's loyal dog, Xu Bin!
Recommended by Chen Xun, countless people became officials in the dynasty.
More people have received his favor.
What annoyed Zhu Qiyu the most was that he had clearly seen through Chen Xun’s plan, but could not break it!
He looked at Wang Wen.
Wang Wen stared blankly at the carpet, his head confused, and murmured: "A trap, this is a trap! Someone is harming me, someone is harming me!"
"Your Majesty!"
He came back to his senses and said anxiously: "Please listen to my explanation. I am loyal to Your Majesty, and everything I have was given by Your Majesty. It is impossible for me to betray Your Majesty, let alone steal the treasure!"
This must be a frame-up of traitors!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Although Wang Wen has the attributes of a young man, he is a good sword and has power at hand. Using him to kill Chen Xun might have some effect.
"Chen Xun! It must be him!" Wang Wen gritted his teeth.
Wang Wen is capable, but he is petty and very vindictive. Especially when the fire of hatred is ignited, he does things without thinking.
"How are you sure?"
Zhu Qiyu seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "It shows how serious the chief assistant is about accepting donations for me, but you suspect that it was the chief assistant who stole Liku! Wang Wen, are you kidding? You also know about the crime of stealing Liku, but the first assistant doesn't.
Already?"
"Your Majesty, don't be deceived by Chen Xun! His family has millions of dollars, but he gave away one hundred taels of silver to Your Majesty..."
At this point, Wang Wen was stunned. He seemed to have just taken out fifty taels... His family is also very rich!
"What did you say?"
Zhu Qiyu stood up suddenly: "How much money do you think Chen Xun's family has?"
The emperor was already short of money and his eyes turned red whenever the word money was mentioned.
"Chen, Chen..."
Wang Wen knew he had said the wrong thing.
"The dignified chief minister actually has a fortune of millions. Great, great. I really didn't expect that there is a huge corrupt man hiding under my nose! He is actually the chief minister of the cabinet!"
Zhu Qiyu pretended to be angry: "Wang Wen, I'm giving you the advantage, do you dare to investigate him?"
Wang Wen's anger gradually subsided, and he finally realized that the emperor had set a trap for him and asked him to get inside.
"Don't dare?"
Zhu Qiyu provoked him: "If you don't dare, forget it. I won't embarrass you. Go back. Wang Wen, do you believe it or not? You won't survive the day when the army goes out without me taking action?"
Wang Wen's expression changed and he kowtowed slowly: "How dare you!"
See Wang Wen took the bait.
Zhu Qiyu immediately said: "Wang Wen! I will give you the right to do things for your own convenience. You can inspect the stolen treasures in the library. You can dispatch officials from the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate at will. You can torture and interrogate everyone. There is no need to report to me. You must investigate.
The theft case of Qingliku! Recover the treasure!"
Wang Wen gritted his teeth and was tricked by the emperor. The emperor not only used his sword to attack Chen Xun, but also used his sword to attack the entire civil servant group!
This is the price of completely surrendering to the emperor!
"I accept the decree!" Having said this, Wang Wen had no way out.
"Okay, Shu Liang, give all the clues you have to Wang Wen, and let Wang Wen continue the investigation!"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and personally helped Wang Wen up: "My dear, relax, as long as I support you, no one can touch you."
Wang Wen felt uncomfortable in his heart.
When he put the whole incident of Li Ku's disappearance together, he saw the second layer. Chen Xun wanted to force the emperor to cut off his arms and kill him, Wang Wen.
But the emperor wanted to use Wang Wen to kill Chen Xun.
But is Chen Xun so easy to deal with?
Seeing how he could quietly steal Liku's treasure from the palace, and even give the Supreme Emperor's secrets to the emperor, you can see that Chen Xun's control over the court is terrifying!
How to deal with such a person?
"There is no need for my beloved to worry about Wang Lun's affairs."
"I will leave it to Lu Gao to handle it. It is best to be framed. If not, give the victim more money. You are a dignified Shaobao and a great bachelor. Do you still have so little money? Things that can be settled with money.
It’s nothing, I’ll let Lu Gao wipe your butt.”
"As for you, just do the things I entrust you with."
Even the emperor Zhu Qiyu cannot be absolutely fair.
"I thank your Majesty for your kindness." Wang Wen felt unhappy.
"After Chen Xun leaves, you will be the chief minister of the cabinet." Zhu Qiyu promised him.
Wang Wen's eyes flickered, but he wanted to trouble the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing, I don't know whether I should talk about it or not."
"Speak!"
"I heard from people that Yu Shaofu's cronies had already heard about the rebellion, but they just pretended that they didn't know about it." Tu Jia, a writer and dramatist, recorded
Zhu Qiyu's pupils shrank: "What did you say?"
"Young Master Yu has already found out the inside story of the Supreme Emperor's rebellion, but he just pretends that he doesn't know about it." Wang Wen said boldly.
"Who said that?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold.
Yu Qian, are you loyal or traitorous?
Should you be a national hero or a traitor?
"There are rumors in the Beijing camp, and his confidant Chen Kui can prove it!" Wang Wendao.
The rumors in the capital camp were probably spread by Xungui.
As for Chen Kui, Li Shimian was elected. In the 12th year of Zhengtong, Li Shimian resigned and returned to his hometown. However, he once sent his grandson Li Ji to write to the court, hoping that Zhu Qiyu would welcome back the Supreme Emperor! And Li Ji's elected candidate
, but it’s Chen Xun!
That is to say, when Li Shimian left the court, he handed over all his connections to Chen Xun. Because he and Chen Xun were fellow townsmen, both from Ji'an, Jiangxi!
This makes sense. Chen Kui is Chen Xun’s man. By spreading rumors about Yu Qian, he is forcing me to kill Yu Qian!
What a vicious method!
Let’s not talk about whether Yu Qian actually heard about Zhu Qizhen’s rebellion conspiracy and spread the rumors with ulterior motives.
What is the form of the court today?
The internal funds were stolen, the tiles were banged on the border, the emperor was in a state of distress, and the military situation at the border was on fire.
Yu Qian took command again and went on an expedition. He was the core figure who stabilized the morale of the army, the spirit of the court, and the hearts of the people. But at this time, rumors about Yu Qian spread! It is really deplorable!
But Wang Wen, a fool, helped spread rumors in order to cause trouble for me!
Are you crazy?
If Yu Qian dies, the first one to be buried with him will be me! The second one will be you!
Do you think I am a fool?
Shi Heng led the border troops into the city and said that Yu Qian was not alert at all. Even a fool would not believe it!
Why didn’t I mention it?
Because I know very well that Yu Qian can still survive if he controls the capital camp, otherwise I would have chopped him up long ago! Can I keep him until today?
Even Shu Liang understands this truth, but you, the minister, cannot figure it out, you are stupid and stupid!
"Who else knows this news?" Zhu Qiyu stared at Wang Wen.
Wang Wen trembled all over and knelt on the ground in fright: "I am also making random guesses. There is no evidence and no one knows!"
Zhu Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief: "This is a rumor, don't let it spread anymore! You know, as long as you keep it in your belly, never say it out, do you understand?"
"I understand!"
Wang Wen's face was covered with sweat, and the emperor's eyes seemed to kill him!
Really, if it weren’t for the fact that Wang Wen was still barely available, Zhu Qiyu would have really wanted to kill him!
Stupid and stupid waste!
The biggest difficulty in Chen Xun's layout is not the first or second floor, but getting Yu Qian to leave Beijing!
As long as the Beijing camp is still in the capital and Yu Qian is still the Minister of War, no matter what I do, Chen Xun will have to endure it and he will not dare to move at all! No matter how powerful Chen Xun is, he can only do it secretly. He will only finish the first two floors.
, just put me in a cage!
But when Yu Qian leaves Beijing, he can be on the third floor at any time!
He can use his treasure to kill Wang Wen, he can also kill Fan Guang, and get the capital out of my hands. He doesn't directly depose the emperor, but he can poison me, bribe his personal officials to assassinate me, any method can be used
Use, kill me, kill the Supreme Emperor, and welcome the Crown Prince to the throne. Even if Yu Qian comes back, it will be too late for everything!
Although the third level is unlikely, as long as I obediently get into the cage and become a pig, I will not die, but I have completely lost my authority.
How to deal with it?
"I resign!" Wang Wen looked horrified.
He is also a smart man, and he also thought about the emperor's worries. Unexpectedly, Yu Qian became more important than before.
"Wait a minute, Wang Wen, how much do you know about the merchants in Beijing?" Zhu Qiyu sighed. He had to eat in one bite, so he had to find a way to make money first.
"I don't know much about it, but I know that people doing business in Beijing have backers behind them. I'm worried..."
Wang Wen didn't dare to say any more. If the emperor kicked the hard board and then retracted it, it would be more harm than good to gain more than he would lose if he took it out on him again.
"Where is the gambling house?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly thought that during the Zhengtong period, the Supreme Emperor cracked down on gambling and arrested many people.
Wang Wen hesitated, then gritted his teeth and said: "I advise your Majesty to finish the order!"
That is to say, behind the gambling houses are all officials from the capital, and each one has a bigger background than the other.
It’s okay to catch a few to set an example and gather some wool, but you can’t close all the gambling shops in the city, as that will hurt others and yourself.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes revealed a fierce light: "I will leave it to you, Shu Liang! If you seize it, you don't have to hand it over, just keep it in Dongchang!"
"My slave obeys the order!" Shu Liang smiled ferociously. The emperor was so anxious that he even cared about mosquito legs. Those rebellious officials and traitors should all be killed!
Wang Wen resigned, and Shu Liang accepted the order and left.
"Is Jin Zhong back? How was the discussion at Huangzhuang?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
"The price has not been negotiated yet, Eunuch Jin is still negotiating." Jin Zhong sent back a middle-aged eunuch who knelt down to report.
Zhu Qiyu saw that the middle-aged eunuch looked unfamiliar and asked him.
"Returning to your Majesty, I was originally working as a handyman in the Ministry of Supervision. I was promoted by Eunuch Jin and was lucky enough to see Tianyan." The middle-aged eunuch looked serious and knelt down to kowtow respectfully.
"What's it called?"
"I have forgotten my original name. After entering the palace, I will give you the name Huaien. If the emperor is not satisfied, please give me a name!" The middle-aged eunuch was very respectful.
Wynn?
This person has a good reputation in history, but he is a useful talent.
"When did you enter the palace?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
"The first year of Xuande."
Zhu Qiyu stared at him for a long time, and then slowly said: "Jin Zhong has good taste, so you can stay in front of the emperor and serve him."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Wynn's face was full of excitement. He was no longer young, in his thirties. He thought he would be a handyman for the rest of his life, but he didn't want to be lucky enough to be favored by Jin Zhong, who was waiting in front of the emperor.
Then he was valued by His Majesty the Emperor and rose to the top in one step.
Zhu Qiyu asked someone to send Wynn's files over. He wanted to see them.
This Huai'en is very capable. If he is innocent, he can be trained as a confidant and serve as the eunuch in charge of rituals and seals in the future.
"Let's start with sweeping." Zhu Qiyu also wanted to slowly sharpen Huaien's character.
"My slave obeys the order!" Wynn's face was respectful, showing no emotion or anger.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and let him go down: "Jin Zhong came back and told me to bring the memorial here, and I will read it on the roof."
"By the way, the female doctor Xuantan is here to see you."
He randomly selected a memorial and picked it up to read. After a few glances, he felt dizzy. It was all full of nonsense and nonsense!
He read it for a quarter of an hour, but he didn't understand what was written in the memorial.
It was not until the end of the memorial that Fuzhou Prefecture was famineed and asked the court for disaster relief.
Snap!
Zhu Qiyu threw the memorial to the ground and was furious: "I read it for a quarter of an hour! The result was a useful sentence! This Fuzhou prefect brought me to the capital! I asked him, why is there so much nonsense?"
"By the way, what is the name of the prefect of Fuzhou?"
"Fu Lin." Feng Xiao replied.
"He?"
Zhu Qiyu couldn't remember clearly: "He seems to have been recommended by Chen Xun, right?"
"Your Majesty has a good memory. Fu Lin was recommended by Chen Shoufu in the first year of Jingtai and was appointed magistrate of Jining. After an assessment of his political performance in the seventh year of Jingtai, he was promoted to magistrate of Fuzhou." The eunuchs serving in front of the emperor naturally knew all this.
"They are Chen Xun's people, don't arrest him yet."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed: "Reply him, he talks a lot of nonsense, change it!"
"Ah? That's how you reply?" Feng Xiao was surprised. Such a reply was really vulgar.
"Just reply like this! Let him submit the memorial again. I want to see if he knows he was wrong!" Zhu Qiyu was very angry.
I read it for a quarter of an hour, word by word, and the result was just nonsense, which wasted my time and wasted my pen and ink!
"Declaring to the cabinet, from now on, memorials cannot exceed 500 words. They only talk about things and are not allowed to express emotions throughout. I don't have time to read them!"
When Feng Xiao saw that the emperor was furious, he did not dare to persuade him.
Even if this kind of imperial decree reaches the cabinet, the cabinet will not accept it. The memorial has been written like this for thousands of years, and even Emperor Taizu tolerated it.
At most, the cabinet regarded this imperial edict as the emperor's complaint and laughed it off.
After reading a few more books, Zhu Qiyu threw them directly to Feng Xiao: "Send to the Supervisor of Ceremonies!"
"By the way, who is the Supervisor of Ceremonies approving red people?"
"Chen Ding, Ruan Jian, Chen Xiang, and Chen Jing drew lots to win the prize." Feng Xiao replied.
Zhu Qiyu rolled his eyes, taking national affairs as a joke!
"Pass the decree to let Chen Jing serve as the eunuch of the ceremonial department! Let Chen Jing come to see me!"
Although Zhu Qiyu was not sure whether Chen Jing was loyal or traitorous, Chen Ding and Ruan Jian must be from Zhu Qizhen anyway.
"This slave obeys your order."
At this time, a female doctor wearing a hat came up and entered the hall to salute.
Zhu Qiyu smelled the fragrance of the medicine: "Pingshen."
"Female doctor, after taking the medicine you prescribed, I feel better, have more strength, and have a great appetite. How about I appoint you as a judge of the Taiyuan Hospital?"
"My heart is not in Taiyuan Hospital."
Tan Yunxian declined: "Your Majesty, I have something to say. I don't know whether to say it or not."
"Say!" Zhu Qiyu was very curious about the face under Wei Wei's hat.
"Your Majesty has imprisoned all the doctors in the capital in the palace, doing nothing. However, people are getting old, sick and dying all the time in the capital, and there is an urgent need for doctors. I have the courage to ask your majesty to be kind and let the doctors go back." Tan Yunxian knelt on the ground. "Huh? You haven't gone back yet? Didn't I send an order yesterday for the doctor to leave the palace? Where is Shu Liang?" Zhu Qiyu was surprised.
"Back to your Majesty, Eunuch Shu may have been busy and forgot." Feng Xiao replied.
Zhu Qiyu sighed. His subordinates really had to work with ten people, and they didn't even have time to sleep. He really couldn't criticize them harshly.
"Release the doctors quickly, reward them with something, and send them out of the palace as gifts." Zhu Qiyu patted his head and forgot about it.
"Your Majesty." Feng Xiao called the doctor in a low voice.
Zhu Qiyu was stunned: "Go and do it."
Feng Xiao glanced at the emperor carefully and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I have no money, how can I reward him?"
Embarrassing!
Zhu Qiyu slapped his head: "Pick some objects from the palace, give some rewards, kidnap people in the middle of the night, and give me a doctor, you should give me some rewards. Also, go to the private sector to check, if there are people who died because of delay by the doctor,
I will give you some rewards."
"My slave obeys the order." Feng Xiao smiled bitterly, the emperor is very generous, what can I do if I don't have money?
"Make the female doctor Tan laugh."
Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand and asked for Tan Yunxian's pulse.
She frowned slightly: "Has Your Majesty moved your kidney energy?"
Zhu Qiyu blushed, shook his head and said no, he was clearly ready to make a move last night.
"Your Majesty must not disturb your kidney qi in the near future. The medicine prescribed by your Majesty is to replenish the kidneys and strengthen the energy. Your Majesty should focus on maintenance."
"I know." Zhu Qiyu responded in a muffled voice.
But lately I’m ready to make a move, how can I bear it?
He lowered his eyes and looked at Tan Yunxian's body. Although she was wearing a large robe, she could still see her exquisite figure, especially when she stood up and squatted down, which outlined her slim beauty.
Tsk tsk tsk.
As if noticing the blazing light, Tan Yunxian quickly stood up, lowered his head and took a few steps back.
Just as Zhu Qiyu was about to speak, Huaien came in and reported that Jin Zhong was back.
"Female doctor, please prepare medicine for me first. When I am free, I will discuss medical skills with you." Zhu Qiyu watched her leave. If she took off her hat, she would see a beautiful face, which would be perfect.
"Your Majesty!" Jin Zhong's face was full of resentment.
"What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, those are not merchants, they are simply robbers! Guess how much they lowered the price of Huangzhuang? I have been arguing with them for a long time, but they only raised a little money. I have found a few more merchants.
, are not willing to take over Huangzhuang!" Jin Zhong was furious.
But Zhu Qiyu is not angry. If Huangzhuang can be sold at a higher price, then there will be ghosts. Don't forget who did the money being stolen! The thief shouts, catch the thief!
"Okay, calm down, order the merchants to enter the palace, and I will talk to them." Zhu Qiyu stopped being unreasonable.
"You deserve to die, slave. You can't handle such a small thing." Jin Zhong knelt on the ground.
"Well, there are specialties in the art industry. With this experience, you will know how to deal with merchants next time."
Zhu Qiyu was in a good mood: "I'm here to tell you how I deal with merchants."
"By the way, where are the businessmen Chen Xun introduced?"
"From Shanxi."
Shanxi merchants?
This businessman group that relied on border smuggling actually got the support of the chief minister of the current government?
Soon.
Several merchants were brought into Xinuang Pavilion. After saluting, Zhu Qiyu did not let them stand up.
"Tell me, what's not good about my palace?" Zhu Qiyu was lying on his back, reading the memorial.
Several businessmen did not dare to speak.
They dared to bargain with Jin Zhong, but Chen Xun was backing them up. They had no confidence when they entered the palace to meet the emperor.
A businessman named Zhang Renxiao was the first to speak: "The common people dare not say bad things about Huangzhuang. They are just talking about business. After inspecting the situation of Huangzhuang, the price given by the common people is the fairest price on the market."<
/p>
"The price quoted by Huangzhuang in the western suburbs is 2,500 taels, is that fair?"
"Your Majesty, to be fair, it is true that the imperial estate has two thousand acres of fertile land, but it has lost tens of thousands of taels of silver. After the common people took over, they had to pay off the debt before they could operate it. It will take at least three years to recover the money." Zhang Renxiao replied.
.
Zhu Qiyu put down the memorial and looked at him: "What is your name?"
"The common people's name is Zhang Renxiao."
"Well, you are right, that Zhuangzi does have some debts."
Zhu Qiyu said: "I have a way. I will mortgage Huangzhuang to you. You will give me a sum of money. When it expires, I will return the money to you. During this period, all the benefits of Huangzhuang will belong to you. The debts owed by Huangzhuang before
You don’t have to pay the debt, what do you think?”
Zhang Renxiao's eyes lit up: "How much do you want to borrow, Your Majesty?"
"Twelve imperial estates, you bid 20,000 taels, I borrow 200,000 taels, I will pay back the money in twenty years, and all the benefits of the imperial estates within these twenty years will be yours, how about that?" p>
"Your Majesty, this is too much. Even ordinary people can't afford so much money." Zhang Renxiao shook his head.
"You can't eat it, but I know Shanxi merchants. In recent years, border trade has opened up, and you have made a lot of money. You can definitely get two hundred thousand taels."
"Besides, you should know very well that Huangzhuang loses money in my hands, but makes money in your hands."
"You won't lose money if you do business with me, isn't that true?"
Zhu Qiyu looked at them with a smile.
He was sure that these businessmen would not give him two hundred thousand taels.
"Your Majesty, the common people are so weak that they really can't afford the big business of 200,000 taels. How about you talk to other businessmen?" Zhang Renxiao refused.
"How about one hundred and fifty thousand taels? Okay! One hundred thousand taels, I want one hundred thousand taels in cash, and I will mortgage the Huangzhuang to you for twenty years. After twenty years, I will pay you back one hundred thousand taels, plus take back the Huangzhuang."
! Is it cheap enough?" Zhu Qiyu seemed like a gambler who lost his bet.

"This..."
Zhang Renxiao and several others looked at each other and were really moved.
However, they dare not eat it.
"Your Majesty, even a hundred thousand taels of grass-roots people can't come up with it." Zhang Renxiao refused.
Zhu Qiyu's face darkened.
He said nothing. Zhang Renxiao and others knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
A long time passed, but the emperor did not move. The atmosphere seemed to be frozen. Only their heartbeats could be heard in the Xinuan Pavilion.
"The Zhang family in Linfen, Pingyang, is a wealthy businessman in the world. People say that you can not know the emperor in Pingyang, but you can't help but worship the Zhang family's wharf! Such a wealthy businessman can't even afford a mere hundred thousand taels. Okay, my palace is worthless.
It’s worth it!”
Every word Zhu Qiyu said seemed to hit Zhang Renxiao's heart.
Don’t forget, the Ming Dynasty suppressed merchants, and merchants had extremely low social status. In order to face the saints, he even put on merchant robes.
"I am the emperor, I cannot be a robber, and I cannot force my head to be pressed without drinking water, right?"
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "That's it, twenty thousand taels is just twenty thousand taels, Huangzhuang is selling you."
Zhang Renxiao looked happy, I really didn’t expect that it happened.
Isn't the emperor as difficult to deal with as Chen Shoufu said? He is so reasonable and reasonable, he is definitely a wise emperor through the ages!
"The common people thank Your Majesty for your kindness." Zhang Renxiao shouted.
Jin Zhong saw this with surprise on his face. Didn't the emperor teach him how to negotiate? Why did he sell Huangzhuang to them so cheaply?
"Zhang Renxiao, I admire you very much, please stay for dinner."
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Jin Zhong: "Pass the meal."
"If you are flat, please give me a seat."
"When you entered the palace, you also saw that the palace is in tatters and has traces of war. I want to repair it."
"But now that the war is approaching, the treasury is empty and there is no money for repairs."
"So I want to leave the project of repairing the Forbidden City to you, how about it?"
Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Don't worry, after the war, I will pay you, even a penny will be given to you."
There is a precedent for contracting projects in the Ming Dynasty. The most recent one was the Zhengtong ten-year renovation of the city wall of Beijing, which was contracted out.
Zhang Renxiao is a little moved.
He and the other businessmen looked at each other and shook their heads: "The ordinary people are incompetent and cannot contract the Tianjia project."
Rejected again.
Zhu Qiyu stopped talking again, and the atmosphere in the hall was stagnant.
"That's all. If the cow doesn't drink water, I'll force it to have its head pressed. I'm a benevolent king through the ages. How can I do that kind of thing? If I don't contract, I won't contract, right?"
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Jin Zhong, where is the meal? Hurry up!"
"Zhang Renxiao."
He turned around and looked kindly at several merchants: "Do you know that Wala led 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack the border city?"
"The common people know that the Wala people are very hateful. They start border quarrels for no reason and humiliate no one in our Ming Dynasty!" Zhang Renxiao was filled with indignation.
"There are people with lofty ideals among the people! Good! Zhang Renxiao, you are very good!"
Zhu Qiyu praised: "The imperial court has organized its army and is ready to go. The prince's young master Yu Qian has personally taken command and led an army of 270,000 to march north to the Oara. We must not let the Oara people break Xuanzhen!"
Zhang Renxiao and others looked excited and praised the emperor for his wisdom and martial prowess.
"But."
Zhu Qiyu changed the topic: "The imperial court is in trouble. The household budget is low, the internal funds are all empty, and there is still a silver gap. I know that merchants are also patriotic, so I want you, Zhang Renxiao, to take the lead and donate some silver to the imperial court to solve the problem."
It’s urgent.”
After speaking, he looked at Zhang Renxiao with sincere eyes.
Zhang Renxiao's face froze: "This..."
"Although the ordinary people have family properties, they are fixed assets and they don't have much living money on hand. However, the country is facing a crisis, and the ordinary people are willing to donate five hundred taels of silver!" He gritted his teeth, as if he had donated five million taels. "The common people are also willing to donate five hundred taels of silver!"
Others followed suit.
"Five hundred taels?" Zhu Qiyu looked at him in surprise.
"This is all the grassroots can do, but the grassroots are still willing to donate a cart of rice. Please forgive me, your majesty, this is the limit of the grassroots." Zhang Renxiao smiled bitterly.
This time he became more courageous and complained to the emperor about how difficult it was for him to do business and that he really had no money for activities.
After all, he rejected the emperor twice, but the emperor just sighed and did not punish him, which shows that the emperor is weak and can be bullied.
"Are you guys too?" Zhu Qiyu looked at the other merchants with despairing eyes.
"The common people also donated a load of rice, which was too much for Your Majesty!"
These merchants kept talking about how difficult it was, and some actually said that they wouldn't have enough to eat when they got home, and they didn't even look at him, who weighed more than 200 pounds and was full of fat!
"All gone?" Zhu Qiyu looked dejected, as if he was about to cry.
"There is really no more Your Majesty!"
Zhang Renxiao swore and vowed: "If the ordinary people have one more tael of silver, they must donate it to the country! The soldiers are throwing their heads and blood in the front, and the ordinary people cannot go to the battlefield. Are they reluctant to part with even a little money? The ordinary people also know that only when there is a country, there is a family!"
”
"A country has a family, so well said! So well said!"
Zhu Qiyu's voice became cold: "Zhang Renxiao! And you! I have given you many opportunities! You don't know how to cherish them!"
"The country is in trouble, and I shamelessly asked you for donations, but you actually gave me five hundred taels of silver and sent them away to the beggars!"
"This is a slap in my face!"
"Come here!"
"Chop off one of his fingers!"
"I tell you! This world belongs to me! If I let you live, you can live! I let you die! Your whole family will not even think about living!"
"Chop!"
Zhang Renxiao was completely stunned.
He thought that the emperor would only cry, despair, and be decadent, but he didn't expect that the emperor would actually overturn the table!
"No, no, don't! Ah!"
Zhang Renxiao's eyes widened and he screamed: "Your Majesty, you can't chop off the hands of ordinary people just because they don't donate money! Ahhh!"
His whole face was twisted in pain, and he questioned the emperor like a demon.
"What do you call me? 'You'? Humph, even if you are the chief minister of the cabinet, you still have to call me 'you'. What kind of dog are you! How dare you despise the emperor! Chop again!" Zhu Qiyu was angry.
Zhang Renxiao wanted to hide, but Jin Zhong happened to come back. He saw the emperor was furious, but Zhang Renxiao was hiding, so he kicked him over: "Here comes the knife! Chop off your fingers, grind them, and delay the emperor's effort!"<
/p>
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
As he said that, he stepped on Zhang Renxiao's hand, and the knife hit it, and one of his fingers fell off.
"Ah!" Zhang Renxiao screamed with his mouth wide open.
"I have good intentions to discuss with you, but you treat me like a villain? Then chop it up!" Zhu Qiyu said with a cold face.
"Your Majesty, just chop off this dog's paws!" Jin Zhong was even more ruthless.
"Chop!"
Zhang Renxiao watched his hand leave his wrist. Jin Zhong chopped it but didn't chop it off. He chopped it three or four times before chopping it off.
Blood reddened the carpet, and Zhang Renxiao's screams tore through the Qianqing Palace.
"I allow you to rent it for twenty years, but I want you to pay one hundred thousand taels of silver. Isn't it unfair?"
"I want to contract the project of the Forbidden City to you. Isn't that kind enough?
"But how did you repay me?"
"You treat me like a beggar! I opened my mouth to you merchants, and you actually gave me five hundred taels of silver! Is my face, the face of the Tian family, and the face of Ming Dynasty worth five hundred taels of silver to you?"
"Deserve to kill! Deserve to kill!"
"Chop again!"
Zhu Qiyu was furious.
He wouldn't have been so angry originally.
The key is that he repeatedly tolerated it, Zhang Renxiao really pushed the envelope!
This is all his fault!
No wonder others!
Jin Zhong stepped on his other hand, swung the knife again, and chopped off a finger!
"I ask you, are my twelve imperial villages worth only twenty thousand taels of silver?" Zhu Qiyu stared at him.
"Value..."
Zhu Qiyu said "hmm", and Zhang Renxiao immediately changed his mind and said it wasn't worth it. The actual value must be higher.
"Then you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and should be punished by the nine tribes!"
Zhu Qiyu said fiercely: "Tell me, who ordered you to take over my imperial estate? Tell me!"
"Obviously..." Zhang Renxiao glanced at Jin Zhong, he is obviously the one you want to sell.
"Say!"
Zhang Renxiao didn’t dare to say any more.
"The decree is that Zhang Renxiao deceived the emperor and was very disrespectful to me. He should be punished!" Zhu Qiyu exhaled a filthy breath.
These damn merchants, you have made a lot of money from border trade. Now the court is fighting. If you are willing to donate a sum of money, even if you are Chen Xun's people, I will let you go. At least you have patriotism. My heart.
But you actually sent me away with five hundred taels of silver and slapped me in the face? Haha, you have really forgotten how Shen Wansan died! Shen Wansan in the wild history
"Your Majesty doesn't want it, Your Majesty doesn't want it!" Zhang Renxiao begged for mercy.
"Then tell me, why do you want to build my imperial palace?"
"Yes, yes..." Zhang Renxiao didn't dare to say, because if he said this name, he would die, but if he didn't say it, he would be punished by his clan...
"Drag it out and cut it open."
Zhu Qiyu lost his patience and looked at another businessman: "Say it!"
With a pop, the merchant fell softly to the ground, urinating incontinently.
"I said, I said!" Zhang Renxiao didn't understand what it meant to cut his heart out. Jin Zhong told him that it meant cutting out his heart. When he heard this punishment, he was so frightened that he confessed.
He was dragged back.
"Someone contacted the grassroots and asked the grassroots to take over His Majesty's Imperial Mansion at a low price." Zhang Renxiao cried hard. He betrayed the people behind him and lost his hand. It was so miserable.
This is the price of despising the emperor.
"Stop crying! Say someone's name!" Zhu Qiyu was looking forward to him saying Chen Xun's name.
"Wang Zhen."
Zhu Qiyu looked at Feng Xiao, and Feng Xiao whispered: "It was recommended by Chen Shoufu and Wang Zhen, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
"Go and arrest Wang Zhen!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed, and the opportunity to break the situation came!
"Go on, who else?"
"No more, no more!" Zhang Renxiao cried like a fool.
"Zhang Renxiao, do you really only have five hundred taels of silver at home?" What Zhu Qiyu is thinking about most is money.
Zhang Renxiao swallowed his saliva and did not dare to speak.
"I ransacked your house and you all know it. If you only have five hundred taels of silver, I will build a memorial arch for you. If you have more, it will be the crime of deceiving the emperor. You have to think carefully about it." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.<
Zhu Qiyu's eyes suddenly turned red. You are a businessman, but you are richer than me?
They deserve to be killed! They all deserve to be killed!
No wonder Taizu built Shen Wansan into the city wall! They all deserve to be killed!
"Your Majesty is in trouble!"
But at this moment, a eunuch came in crying and reported: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian's body is broken. She can't stand it any longer. There is no imperial doctor!"
Zhu Qiyu's pupils shrank, Concubine Li Xian?
She has been bedridden for the past two years. The imperial doctor said that there was no serious problem in her life and she could just nurse her back to health. Why did she say that she would not be able to survive anymore?
"Quickly spread the word about the female doctor, quick! I'll go right away!"
The original owner didn't have much affection for this virtuous concubine, but Zhu Qiyu found it strange. He said that it wouldn't work if it didn't work, so why should he just pay lip service to it?
How strange!
Why is it such a coincidence every time? Whatever I want to do, they know what I am doing?
He glanced at the people waiting in front of the emperor...
