At this moment, Zhu Houcong is lying on the bed eating grapes. It has to be said that he will not have to worry about running out of money for a long time after this wave. Of course, the premise is to suppress this matter. If he does not suppress it, then
It's over, Barbie is Q, and I'm afraid it will be useless to ask for more money at that time.
But it should not be a big problem. As long as the regime is not overthrown, there should be no problem. He has more than 200,000 troops, and the training of the Twelve Guards and the Imperial City Guards has not stopped since he succeeded to the throne. He is definitely not as good as Qi Jingtong.
Although the army was well trained, it certainly had combat effectiveness. He did not believe that he could not defend the entire city of Beijing.
"Master, you seem to be very happy during this time." Huang Jin poured a cup of tea for Zhu Houcong on the side. During this time, His Majesty sometimes laughed inexplicably.
"How can I not be happy after making money? But I will be very busy next time. Where is Lu Fang? Aren't you busy yet?" A lot of things happened during this period. The people below are also busy, and the people above are also busy. Lu Fang
They all live in the cabinet together with Yang Tinghe. This is indeed not something that humans should do. Anyway, if Zhu Houcong is left to do it by himself, he will probably be too busy to do it.
"That's right, you will naturally be happy when you make money." Huang Jin didn't know the specific amount. He only knew that His Majesty made money, and it seemed to be quite a lot. He didn't care about it, as long as His Majesty was happy.
Huang Jin already handles relatively few political affairs, most of which are handled by Lu Fang and Chen Hong. Huang Jin's main task is to take care of the emperor's daily life, which can be regarded as a clear division of labor.
"Master, those businessmen who lost money have started to make trouble, and have also instigated many scholars. Now the government has been surrounded by water. There are many people, and they are all clamoring for repayment. It is quite fierce. Five
The people from the city's army and horse division have already passed, but there are many scholars among them, and they don't know what to do. Your Majesty, do you want to arrest them?"
This matter is not easy to handle. Scholars have certain privileges in this era. One or two are fine. After all, who dares to be arrogant at the foot of the imperial city? But once there are more people, it will be difficult to deal with. These people cannot be beaten or scolded.
No, I'm not in good health, so I'd be in trouble if I bumped into him.
Lu Fang didn't want to make too much of a fuss. He just wanted to minimize the big issue, but it mainly depends on His Majesty's wishes.
"Why are they just joining in the fun? What does this matter have to do with them?" Zhu Houcong rolled his eyes, good guy, why are there so many people? Why are you just making fun of them?
To be honest, Zhu Houcong actually had a headache. Indeed, these guys couldn't be beaten or scolded. Their weak bodies would be bad if they bumped into each other. As for scolding, can you scold them better than others?
Moreover, as a group of scholars, sometimes they are really united. If you hit one, a group of them will immediately pop up, and then they will really not stop.
Zhu Houcong was surprised. What are these guys doing here when they have nothing to do? I didn't cheat your money and just join in the fun.
Chen Hong looked strange, Your Majesty, what nonsense are you talking about? The scope of your operation is so wide that most of the wealthy families in the capital are implicated. Everything you hoarded will be lost. Those who bought and used it earlier will naturally feel that they have spent too much money.
It's no surprise that others don't trouble you. It can be said that he won't be surprised if anyone jumps out now.
"Ahem, how many people are there?" Zhu Houcong coughed lightly, okay, he knew he said the wrong thing. Scholars in this era generally have some money, so it is normal for them to be cheated.
"At least hundreds of people, and there are more and more." Chen Hong was also a little troubled. What should we do with these people? People from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division did not dare to take action, and he found it difficult to report them.
Zhu Houcong touched his chin, his face suddenly turned cold, and he said sternly: "Arrest, arrest the leader first. If there are still people making trouble, then continue to arrest them. If that doesn't work, I'll kill a few by mistake."
Zhu Houcong's face turned cold, with determination in his expression. He knew that he could not let these guys continue to make trouble like this, and he could not give any compensation or promises. There were many people involved in this matter. If he gave in here, someone would
If you continue to make trouble, if you encounter this kind of thing, just suppress it forcefully. If someone makes trouble, just suppress it. If you strike just right, I am worried about changing a batch.
"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with this?" Chen Hong twitched the corner of his mouth. He had known better than to ask. Your Majesty, if you act like this, there will be a falling out soon. By then, those scholars will not rebel.
"Isn't it appropriate? Do they think I will pamper them? Anyone who makes troubles will have their imperial examination qualifications revoked. If they make troubles, let them continue to make troubles." Zhu Houcong sneered, scholars are like this, if you have scruples in your heart, they will start to act unscrupulously, which is commonly known as
Give it some color and open a dyeing workshop, give it some sunshine and it will be bright.
Although some people resisted more and more the more they encountered this kind of oppression, but more people still sought advantages and avoided disadvantages. After ten years of studying hard and not being allowed to participate in the imperial examination, he didn't believe that so many people were just.
If you are so strong, there is a way to capture them all and send them to the front lines to fight. Some of them will scream with joy. Let's try it on the battlefield.
The reason for tolerating these scholars is that the emperor needs to rely on scholars to govern the world. But if he no longer relies on these people to govern the world, the role of these scholars will be greatly reduced.
If these guys don't seek death, Zhu Houcong will really have no choice for a while. After all, he can't suppress others without reason.
But if these guys are still so reckless, then it’s just because of Zhu Houcong’s will. I’m worried that I can’t find a chance. If you dare to jump, I can do whatever I want. Yan Song also has disciples, and neither does Yang Tinghe’s subordinates.
If you don't have one person, you really can't do it. Being a royal guard and a chamberlain supervisor is just free money. No matter what, the country will not stop functioning.
"Your Majesty is wise, I will do it now." Chen Hong's eyes lit up. This is a good idea. Isn't the purpose of studying hard for ten years just to get fame? If you keep making trouble, I won't let you take the exam. If you have the ability, just keep making trouble.
.
"Master, isn't this a bit extreme?" After Chen Hong left, Huang Jin hesitated. What if the operation was improper and caused a bigger backlash?
According to his idea, the main thing is to appease them and not to get too tense. You must know that these guys are famous for their unity. What should they do if the time comes to force them to go to the palace?
"Extreme? If I were extreme, I would have sent troops directly to suppress it now. If they don't know how to praise me, don't blame me for being ruthless. The Tatars just invaded our border and sent these guys to the battlefield. I want to take a look.
On the battlefield, can they still be so strong?"
Zhu Houcong sneered, extreme, now he is extreme, where was he just now?
To be honest, scholars just can't give too much good looks, because nowadays, when it comes to people who have no ability, they can talk about great principles, but when it comes to ability, they don't have much.
Most scholars are arrogant and arrogant, thinking that they can already govern the country. In fact, they are nothing. Anyway, Zhu Houcong does not intend to spoil them. If you dare to attack me, I will not stop it. If it makes a big fuss, I will stop it next time.
The imperial examination, and it seems that he has not held the imperial examination since he ascended the throne. I will not hold it anymore. It depends on what you do.
Anyway, Zhu Houcong is not going to compromise this time. There is no point. Compromising with this group of people is like making peace with a foreigner. It is disgusting anyway. He would rather not be the emperor than eat this shit. Besides, whoever loses will win.
Unknown, he really didn't believe that this group of people could be so strong. If they really had this kind of backbone, he admitted it. Even though he wouldn't forgive people with backbone who got into trouble, he still respected such people.
"Well, Your Majesty, please don't act on your own initiative. Although the Za family can't stand the arrogance of the scholars, the Gu family has to rely on the management of these people to run. If there is a quarrel, it may not end well." Huang Jin looked at it.
Your Majesty was a little confused and couldn't help but step forward to persuade. Your Majesty, please think clearly about what to do when everyone goes on strike.
This situation is not impossible. After all, this guy is famous for being united and protecting his shortcomings. Although he was taught a lesson by the late emperor, his temper should still not be restrained much.
"Strike? There is no reasonable reason. Let's give it a try." Zhu Houcong was not busy at all. If these guys made small moves and all of them acted against each other, there was really nothing he could do, but if anyone dared to directly
Do you really think that his imperial power is just a show-off if you come forward to be tough?
It’s not that he has no way to deal with those guys, he just doesn’t have a reasonable excuse. He has said from the beginning that he represents orthodoxy and is not afraid of any direct confrontation. He just doesn’t want the country to fall into dire straits. Choose
Just give in.
But now he has something in his hand, and reality does not allow him to be sluggish, so he plans to give it a try. Moreover, those wealthy squires have suffered such heavy losses, and they should be very worried. When he suppresses the officials who jumped out, those
The guy will naturally calm down for a while.
Seeing His Majesty's attitude, Huang Jin didn't know what to say, but he always felt that this was not good. After thinking for a long time, he decided to talk to Yang Tinghe and let him persuade His Majesty that there was no need to mess up the relationship with the ministers.
It's not good if it's so stiff and the fuss cannot be settled in the end.
After Chen Hong got the news, he quickly went to make preparations. He had long disliked those guys. Why don't you study for a while? He hasn't achieved any honors yet. There are also those ministers. His godfather is just too good to them. He doesn't show any respect for others.
None. If it weren't for his godfather, he would have taught those guys a lesson.
Chen Hong estimated that the people from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division might not be able to do this. After all, those guys are just a bunch of weaklings who bully the weak and fear the strong. They will tremble at the slightest sign of trouble. You can't count on them. This kind of thing can't be done.
He has to do it himself.
But he was quite busy. If he wasn't busy, he really wanted to take someone to serve these guys a pot. It was so annoying. What was there to be proud of? He would let them kneel on the ground and lick it.
Finally, I thought about it, I still have to ask Gu Dayong for this kind of thing. Isn't Dongchang in charge of these things? Although the power of Dongchang Capital seems to have dispersed, people should still have some strength.
Chen Hong directly handed over the order to Gu Dayong. Gu Dayong took a look and thought it was okay. However, he also complained a little to Yang Shen. It was agreed that this part of the capital would be under your control. Now those scholars are in trouble. You Yang Shen
What the hell is Shen doing?
But complaints are complaints, and what needs to be dealt with still needs to be dealt with. After all, we cannot rely on those scholars for this kind of dirty work. After all, we still rely on him. After all, this is the meaning of his existence, isn't it? From His Majesty's point of view, if not
If there is a shortage of such people, then why keep him? Why not use your own people? You are not looking for someone to take the blame.
He knew from the beginning, and Ye Le also knew the same. After all, value determines your future. A person without value will not be able to use it himself, let alone His Majesty.
Gu Dayong directly ordered all the men, without saying anything else, and directly arrested people. These guys who jumped out directly, whether they were bewitched or gave direct instructions, should be wiped out with thunderous force.
"What are you doing? It's such a mess. Do you want to go to my prison in Dongchang?" Gu Dayong came to the scene and frowned slightly. The situation was indeed a bit out of control. No wonder the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division couldn't control it.
There were more than a hundred people in the place, and Gu Dayong also saw someone's workman in the crowd. It would be strange if this could be suppressed.
Seeing that Gu Dayong came with Dongchang's fanzi, it seemed that he was not a good person. Those scholars were a little scared. After all, Gu Dayong was notorious, and Dongchang Prison was no joke. He was caught and went
Very few people came out alive. Although they were making trouble, they just hoped that His Majesty could give them an explanation and compensate them for some losses. In the end, they still did not dare to cause trouble.
Some people in the crowd lowered their heads when they saw this situation. Gu Dayong was here. This was no joke, but how could Gu Dayong satisfy them? He had already targeted these people and directly
Let people surround the crowd.
Zhu Houcong was wandering around the palace leisurely, planning to find Yang Tinghe and Nao Nacai. After all, this scene had to end, and the person who ended it must not be him, then it would be Yang Tinghe.
As for the people outside, he really doesn't worry too much. As long as he shows this attitude, those people will be looking for death if they dare to jump out. This is the capital, and there are 250,000 troops outside. Of course, now
No more. Just in case, he asked Qi Jingtong to dispatch five troops to the border half a month ago.
Mainly because Qi Jingtong moved quickly and the army's restructuring was completed early. He thought it was useless to stay here anyway. There was no need for so many people for the time being, so he asked half of his people to go to the border to keep an eye on them.
If a Tatar doesn't open his eyes, he won't be caught off guard, and he happens to be training his troops.
As for the remaining five armies, they are all in the capital for the time being. Zhu Houcong will also send them out after a while. As long as the domestic situation is not determined, there is no need to keep hundreds of thousands of troops around for fear of random thoughts.
Talking about Yang Tinghe, this old guy has been living in the cabinet for more than a month, and his life is quite comfortable. Zhu Houcong feels that this guy doesn't want to go home.
