Zhu Han wished he could find Zhu Yuanzhang now, point his nose at him and scold him.
"Brother! Can you please let me, my younger brother, worry less?"
"Now there are already a lot of things to do here in Datong Mansion, and now I have to serve you."
"We finally traveled through time so that we could become a decadent feudal noble and live a happy and depraved life every day."
"It's not just to contribute to our Ming Dynasty and work hard."
"What happens now? I work hard every day, working from dawn to dusk."
"You, the emperor, went out to have fun. This is too much, isn't it?"
"Besides, it's not a good time for you to come, so why do you come at this time?"
After complaining depressedly for a few words, he started reading the following content again.
"Your Majesty, I recently discovered that a group of remnants of the White Lotus Sect have sneaked into Yanjing City, and they seem to have an agenda."
"But please rest assured, Your Majesty, Xiaguan has already grasped their movements."
"The reason why I haven't taken action yet is because I just want to know who is colluding with the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, both internally and externally, with the intention of destroying the great situation of the imperial court."
"Everything is under control, Your Majesty, don't worry."
Zhu Han knew without thinking that these were definitely not words that Liu Song could say.
It is definitely written by Liu Ji.
"Liu Song is good at everything, but sometimes he is too upright."
At the end of the secret letter, Liu Song gave a simple explanation.
What he wrote was very brief, with only eight words, which probably meant that he was the only one who knew about the secret letter and had not told Liu Ji.
I just exchanged some opinions with the other party on the matter of the White Lotus Sect.
Zhu Han curled his lips, no wonder sometimes leaders like those who are less capable, but are troublesome when asked.
He was almost certain that Liu Ji must have known about the secret letter.
Even if you don't know the details, you can definitely make a rough guess.
Even though this secret letter was written by Liu Song himself, it is believed that there are hints of leaving opportunities to claim credit for himself, both inside and outside the letter.
After reading the secret letter, Zhu Han placed the letter on a candle and burned it.
"What about the White Lotus Sect? I didn't cause any trouble for you, but you actually came to our door yourself."
"And it's not a good time to come, but this is the time."
"And the same goes for you, brother. If you don't come early, you won't come late. But it just happened that the person who called me came during the day, and you came too."
"Do you think it would be better for me to look for you now or not to look for you?"
No matter how much you complain, you can't really ignore it.
Even if Lao Zhu’s current identity is not exposed, what if something happens and Zhu Yuanzhang is implicated?
If there is something wrong with Lao Zhu, especially if something goes wrong here in Datong Mansion.
He couldn't explain it clearly even if he had a thousand mouths.
At that time, whether Zhu Biao is willing or not, he must investigate the cause of Zhu Yuanzhang's death.
At this time, it is naturally convenient for those who have long been dissatisfied with him to interfere with him.
And Zhu Han is not the kind of person who just surrenders and will definitely fight back with his tentacles.
No matter what his purpose is, as long as he takes action against those people, it will inevitably deepen Zhu Biao's suspicion.
At that time, it will become a knot that cannot be untied.
And the final result...
Either Zhu Han didn't want the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty, and he would be far happier taking his family with him than living overseas in his own fiefdom.
Or Zhu Han could directly raise an army to rebel, pull his eldest nephew from that position, and become emperor himself.
No matter which choice is made, the great situation of Ming Dynasty will be ruined.
"I'm so angry, just wait for me, brother!" Zhu Han swore through gritted teeth.
But he can only talk about it. Is it possible that he can really do something to Zhu Yuanzhang?
Obviously he didn't dare to investigate this matter, so Zhu Han could only find a way to investigate it secretly.
But the efficiency of this is simply appallingly low.
In today's Datong Prefecture, the original people plus people who fled from various places are included.
There are already more than 300,000 people.
Finding someone who can hide his or her identity among so many people is definitely no easier than finding a needle in a haystack.
Then Zhu Han called Liu Shenhong over: "How many people from the White Lotus Sect have come in now?"
Liu Shenhong had no expression on his face, obviously he already knew about this.
He casually took out an account book, flipped through it a few times and then said: "Back to the prince, according to the report from Jin Yiwei, there are about seven thousand people who can be confirmed and suspected to be from the White Lotus Sect."
"There are so many people." Zhu Han was surprised by this number.
The White Lotus Sect has existed since the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Most of the people in this organization are poor people.
Because life can't go on, I can't help but look for some spiritual sustenance.
The White Lotus Sect took a fancy to this opportunity and used all kinds of empty promises to lure the people in.
Zhu Han originally thought that in the current Ming Dynasty, the size of the White Lotus Sect should not be very large.
After all, there are all kinds of high-yielding food crops he has created, as well as all kinds of new machines.
The common people's lives are not to say that they have no worries about food and clothing. At least as long as they are willing to work, there is absolutely no problem in earning a meal.
Under this situation, Zhu Han originally thought that organizations like the White Lotus Sect would have little chance of survival.
But he never expected that there would be more than 7,000 members of the White Lotus Sect in Datong Mansion alone.
Although these people from the White Lotus Sect are definitely not all citizens of Datong Prefecture, there should also be many from other surrounding prefectures.
But no matter what, there are more than 7,000 people in this place alone.
So looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, how many people are there in the White Lotus Sect?
And what Zhu Han couldn't understand was that when the dynasty was declining and the society was in turmoil, others wanted such an organization to have an active environment.
Not even at the end of the dynasty, even when the dynasty was at its peak, there were many people at the bottom who were hungry.
It is not unusual for the White Lotus Sect to appear.
But now the Ming Dynasty is prospering every day, and the people's lives are getting better and better.
At this time, the White Lotus Sect could actually easily recruit more than 7,000 people.
This made Zhu Han feel a little frustrated.
What did I fail to do to make so many people dissatisfied with the imperial court?
"Very good!" Zhu Han looked like he was gritting his teeth: "Now that you are here, don't even think about going back."
"Your Majesty..." Liu Shenhong hesitated, looking like he was hesitating to speak.
Zhu Han glared at him angrily: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Look at your useless look."
When he was in a bad mood, he didn't like anything he saw. Normally, Zhu Han would ask Liu Shenhong in detail why he was like this?
If you really have any questions, we will teach you carefully.
But now that he is in a bad mood, Liu Shenhong can only get scolded.
This is not the first time Liu Shenhong has experienced this kind of thing, and he is not depressed at all.
Instead, he said worriedly: "Your Majesty, although those people are bewitched by the White Lotus Sect, they are still the people of our Ming Dynasty after all. If you want to kill them all, I'm afraid it will cause verbal and written criticism in the court."
"I am definitely not questioning your decision, Your Majesty, but if you really do this, I am afraid it will be detrimental to Your Majesty, so I ask Your Majesty to think again."
Zhu Han did not fly into a rage as Liu Shenhong expected, but looked at him with interest: "Not bad, you have finally made some progress. You obviously want to persuade me to be noble and do less killing, and you can still pretend to be proud.
It’s for the king’s sake.”
Liu Shenhong's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly wanted to explain: "Wang..."
But before he could finish speaking, Zhu Han had already waved his hand: "No need to explain, you are right to do this."
"This way we can do things better, instead of being like that guy Liu Song."
"My temper is like a stone in the toilet, smelly and hard."
"I don't even understand how an idiot like him climbed to his current position?"
But Liu Shenhong understood, even though Zhu Han seemed to despise Liu Song.
But in fact, Zhu Han admired Liu Song very much.
Otherwise, how could it be possible to leave all matters in Yanjing to Liu Song.
Instead of handing it over to Liu Ji, who is more capable and more famous.
The reason why my prince is like this is probably because he didn't know when Liu Song got angry again.
It's not a big deal. In a few days, the prince will figure it out on his own.
Sure enough, after Liu Shenhong was silent for a while, Zhu Han pointed at his nose angrily and cursed: "You heartless thing, I was blind to promote you."
"Tell me, how long have you been with this king, and you still don't understand my temper?"
"It takes an incompetent person to take out the anger of the people."
"Of course I know that most of these people are just ordinary people who were bewitched by the names during the day."
"Only a small number of people are conspirators with ulterior motives."
"So why would this king be too harsh on these people?"
"If it were me, the king, if the court wanted me to starve, I would definitely..."
Liu Shenhong was afraid that his prince would say something treacherous again, and he didn't care whether he would be resented by his prince for doing so, so he quickly interrupted Zhu Han's words: "Your Majesty, since we can't hurt those people, what are we going to do?
What about dealing with the remnants of the White Lotus Sect?"
"We can't just be on guard against them all day long when they are in Datong Mansion, right?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Khan extended his index finger and shook it in front of Liu Shenhong.
"It's a waste that you are still an ordinary citizen. Have you lived your good life for so long that you don't even know how ordinary people live?"
"Tell me, why do these people follow the White Lotus Sect and do such treacherous and unethical things? Aren't they afraid of death?"
"Of course not!" Liu Shenhong replied without blinking.
He was also born into a poor family. If he had not been lucky enough to be taken in by Zhu Han, he would have died of hunger by now.
Of course Liu Shenhong could understand that the reason why those people followed the white people was just to have a bite of food to keep themselves or their families alive.
If you can fill your stomach and live a contented life.
Who would take the risk and do these treasonous things?
"Isn't this right?" Zhu Han looked at his hands and smiled very proudly: "Since those people joined Baiyin in the first place, it was just to have enough food."
"So now that they have arrived in our Datong Prefecture, they suddenly find that the people in our Datong Prefecture are not only well-fed but also warmly clothed."
"And as long as they work hard enough, they can even live a better life."
"Do you think they are still willing to rebel with those idiots who taught me during the day?"
Liu Shenhong's eyes suddenly emitted two rays of light: "Yes, why didn't I think of that?"
"If it were me, if I had the chance to live a stable life, of course I wouldn't continue to fool around with the White Lotus Sect."
Zhu Han sneered again and again: "No matter what the idiots of the White Lotus Sect have in mind, as long as they dare to come to Datong Mansion, I will accept every one of them."
"Immediately issue a notice to tell all the people in the city that recently it was discovered that remnants of the White Lotus Sect have sneaked into Datong Prefecture with the intention of burning down the granary, leaving the disaster-stricken people in Datong Prefecture without food to eat and having to rebel with them."
"All relevant personnel of the White Lotus Sect should immediately surrender to the government."
"Ordinary believers, let's forget the blame. The little leaders of the White Lotus Sect everywhere can truthfully explain the facts of their crimes and provide corresponding intelligence."
“Those with relatively minor circumstances will only be sentenced to work and rest, and will be treated as ordinary people upon release after serving their sentences.”
"If the circumstances are serious, they will be dealt with according to the "Da Ming Law", but the family members will not be implicated."
While Zhu Han was talking, Liu Shenhong wrote down everything he said.
But after waiting for a long time, it seemed that nothing more was heard.
He raised his head and looked at Zhu Han in confusion, as if asking Zhu Han what other measures he would take next.
Zhu Han was inexplicably embarrassed. Even he himself felt that this treatment seemed a bit too anticlimactic.
"What are you looking at? That's all!" Zhu Han said in a stiff tone.
Liu Shenhong was a little worried: "Your Majesty, is it too much for us to do this?"
"You know nothing." Zhu Han snorted coldly: "This is the effect I want. Of course, the senior officials of the White Lotus Sect will not take this kind of announcement to heart."
"They are just like you. Although they came from ordinary people, they have already forgotten what ordinary people are like."
"But it's hard to say whether ordinary people will have the same idea as them."
Liu Shenhong raised another doubt in his mind: "But Your Majesty, ordinary people may not believe what the imperial court says."
"Stupid!" Zhu Han scolded him, "I just finished praising you, why are you showing your true colors again?"
"Do you still need me to teach you this kind of thing personally? Haven't you heard of the principle of three people becoming a tiger?"
"Ordinary people have too many concerns and of course they cannot believe us so easily."
"But it's different if someone comes forward."
Liu Shenhong was even more depressed: "But my lord, when will we wait for someone who dares to come forward?"
Zhu Han smiled proudly: "No, you won't let him have it?"
