And all the information shared between Wei Zaode and Emperor Chongzhen.
All the information reached Zhu Cixiang’s ears through Jin Yiwei.
Zhu Cixiang looked at the military camp in front of him that was being reorganized, and when he heard the voice of the Jin Yiwei in his ears, there was a cold look in his eyes.
"Haha! I originally thought of letting you go temporarily, Wei Zaode, Wei Zaode, didn't you just come to my door yourself?"
With that said, Zhu Cixiang said expressionlessly to the Jin Yiwei on the side: "Leave ten people to maintain order in the military camp, and the rest, follow me!"
Zhu Cixiang led dozens of imperial guards and quickly walked towards the chief minister's residence.
The Jin Yiwei opened the way, and Zhu Cixiang arrived at the door of Wei Zaode, the chief minister of the cabinet, very quickly.
At this time, Wei Zaode had just come out of the palace.
Seeing dozens of imperial guards, Wei Zaode's expression changed slightly.
"Which Qianhu's Jin Yiwei are you! What are you doing at my door??"
Wei Zaode drank towards Jin Yiwei next to him.
At this time, many Jinyi guards slowly dispersed, and Zhu Cihong appeared in front of Wei Zaode.
Wei Zaode naturally knew the prince.
Seeing Zhu Cihong, his expression changed slightly.
"Wei Chen, please see the crown prince!"
Wei Zaode saluted Zhu Cihong in front of him.
He hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and asked, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"
Zhu Cixiang was too lazy to talk nonsense to the guy in front of him.
"Search!"
Zhu Cixiang said to the surrounding Jin Yiwei.
Hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Wei Zaode's expression suddenly changed. He turned to Zhu Cixiang and said, "Your Highness, what do you mean???"
"What's the meaning?"
The corners of Zhu Cixiang's mouth were slightly raised, with a faint smile in his eyes as he looked at Wei Zaode in front of him.
"Wei Zaode, do you really not know, or are you just pretending not to know?"
After hearing Zhu Cihong's words, Wei Zaode's expression changed for a while.
He wanted to rush into the house, but looking at the dozens of uniformed guards around Zhu Cixiang, he suppressed the impulse in his heart.
His expression changed for a while, and at this moment he thought of the letters in his study that had not yet been sent out.
He secretly complained in his heart, hoping that his letters were well hidden and could not be found by the Jinyi guards.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a roaring sound coming from the mansion of the Chief Minister of the Cabinet.
"Your Highness, you don't have any evidence to search the house of the chief minister of the cabinet. Aren't you afraid of the world's criticism?"
Wei Zaode suppressed the anger in his tone and looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him with gloomy eyes.
"Criticism?"
Zhu Cixiang looked at Wei Zaode in front of him calmly and said slowly: "Wei Zaode, have you ever thought about why I would appear at the door of your residence with so many powerful officials in Beijing?"
Wei Zaode looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and was about to say something.
"found it!"
At this time, Jin Yiwei's voice came from the house.
With a smile on his face, Zhu Cixiang smiled lightly at Wei Zaode on the side and said: "It seems that I won this round!"
Sweat instantly flowed from Wei Zaode's forehead, and he knelt down in front of Zhu Cixiang with a plop.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! I, I just want to save my own life! I really don't have any second thoughts..."
At this time, Jin Yiwei had already handed several letters to Zhu Cixiang.
"This is called not having two minds?"
Zhu Cixi flipped through the letter and could see that the content inside was clearly a letter of surrender!
"Search the house!"
Zhu Cixiang ordered to the surrounding Jinyi guards.
"Publish this letter! Let the ministers and people of the Ming Dynasty, and let my father see it! The face of the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Cixi gave instructions to the Jinyi guards around him.
It’s over!
Wei Zaode was suddenly struck by five thunders, and his body immediately collapsed to the ground.
The royal guards rushed into the chief minister's home like wolves and tigers.
Search your home!
Let the Jin Yiwei next to him support Wei Zaode, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Cixi strode to the front of the hall and sat down at the head seat of the Eight Immortals Table.
He glanced at Wei Zaode who looked like a puddle of mud in the hall.
This chief minister of the Ming Dynasty was different from Duke Cheng.
The reason why Zhu Cixi was the first to kill Duke Cheng and ransack his house was not only because Duke Cheng was rich, but also the most important reason. In the original history, Duke Cheng opened the city gate to welcome Li Zicheng.
This top traitor must be eradicated first! Regardless of the consequences!
And the Wei Zaode in front of him.
Zhu Cixi gave him a somewhat contemptuous look.
After all, he was promoted by his father, so let his father deal with him!
While Zhu Cixiang was thinking for a moment, the Jin Yiwei next to him had already taken the data from the house raid.
A total of one hundred thousand taels of silver, two thousand taels of gold, a thousand hectares of land were obtained, and there were five or six shops in Beijing.
The total proceeds from the confiscation were worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
"not bad!"
Zhu Cixiang glanced at Wei Zaode in front of him with some sarcasm.
This guy has just turned 40, and at this time in the late Ming Dynasty, he was still able to make so much money. You must know that he has not been the chief minister of the cabinet for a long time.
But now it's all his own! Now Zhu Cixiang is extremely short of money, and the national treasury is running out of money. Now every penny is very important to him.
"Is there any other property? If you tell me now, it can alleviate some of your charges, otherwise..."
Zhu Cixiang looked calmly at Wei Zaode in front of him.
Just when Zhu Cihong was interrogating Wei Zaode, under Zhu Cihong's intentional walk, the news soon spread among the common people and gentry in most of the capital.
"Mr. Wei's house was ransacked??? What happened??"
"The house of the Chief Assistant was confiscated? What does the Crown Prince want to do???"
In an instant, everyone in the entire city of Beijing was a little confused. First, kill the Duke Cheng, and then kill the chief minister of the cabinet. Is there no one to stop His Highness the Crown Prince?
Ni Yuanlu was arranging city defense at Xizhimen. When she heard this rumor, her expression suddenly changed.
"What does His Highness the Crown Prince want to do??"
A trace of doubt flashed in Ni Yuanlu's eyes. He was one of the prince's teachers and he knew the prince quite well before.
But ever since I saw His Highness the Crown Prince killing everyone in the Chengguo Duke's Mansion, and there was a river of blood.
Ni Yuanlu found that the prince she was familiar with began to become unfamiliar.
After thinking for a moment, Ni Yuanlu shook his head slightly, although he didn't like the prince who seemed a bit cruel and extremely decisive.
But he is not a pedantic person. He knows very well that although the current Zhu Cihong is not the wise king that the civil servants want, it is impossible to defend the city of Beijing without this decisive courage.
