The Jin Yiwei all ended up like this, let alone civil servants like them?
If there is one, there are two, and if there are two, there are three. One after another, the civil servants surrendered to Jin Yiwei in a chain reaction like dominoes.
Lao Zhu has always said the same thing. If I say I won’t kill you, I won’t kill you.
Within three days, the courtiers who surrendered occupied almost half of the entire court, and the property they handed over was nearly ten million taels of silver.
Many of them were lucky and did not turn themselves in. However, three days later, Mao Xiang, Er Hu, and Jiang Yu personally came to visit them. The main thing was to create a grand spectacle, which at least did not humiliate these corrupt officials.
Zhu Houzhao looked at the filled treasury and almost smiled from ear to ear.
Only a small number were turned over; the majority were confiscated.
After this trip, including the surrender and the inspection, there was a total of 78 million taels of silver.
"What a bunch of fucking silverfish..." Lao Zhu looked up to the sky and sighed, how did you say this? He couldn't help but start to regret it now.
But once the words are said, there is no reason to take them back. In this regard, Lao Zhu is still relatively obedient.
Then Jin Yiti's cavalry came out from all directions, searching the world. Lao Zhu is risking his life anyway. Today, either a corrupt official will die or the Ming Dynasty will die. He wanted to see if the Ming Dynasty could function without these corrupt officials.
Of course, the reason why he is so confident is that Li Shimin promised to lend him some grassroots personnel to make up for the vacancies.
Well... It can be said that it is very appropriate for people from the Zhenguan Dynasty to bring troops to rule the Hongzhi Dynasty hundreds of years later.
This is no longer the principle of different places, this is the principle of different time and space.
Along with Jin Yi Tiqi, there are also various crimes related to Liu Daxia. Lao Zhu asked Jin Yiwei to go to every county and every village to let everyone know the true face of this person.
It can be said to be very heart-wrenching.
The Hongzhi Dynasty served as a pilot and launched Lao Zhu's vigorous reform.
He sent over some people whom the Hongwu Dynasty thought were more trustworthy. Li Shanchang was temporarily appointed as the first assistant of the cabinet, and Liu Bowen was temporarily appointed as the second assistant of the cabinet. He did this on purpose. He had always known that these two people would not deal with Lao Zhu in private. Lan Yu, Fu Youde, and Feng Sheng were temporarily stationed in Datong, Liaodong, and Xuanfu respectively to guard against the northern Tatar invasion; Mao Xiang and Jiang Yu stayed in the Hongzhi Dynasty, taking orders at any time, and the two tigers had to follow Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Houzhao, the little emperor, is now considered to have great power. Lao Zhu took advantage of the two months during the Zhengde Dynasty to catch Zhu Houzhao and instill the art of emperorship.
Zhu Houzhao was like a thirsty sponge, frantically absorbing the knowledge of the Emperor's Art.
After staying in Zhengde Dynasty for nearly two months, Lao Zhu planned to visit Jiajing Dynasty.
After returning to the Hongwu Dynasty and staying for two days, he decided to set off for the Jiajing Dynasty with Zhu Youqi from the Hongzhi Dynasty.
After Zhu Houzhao, who was in the 16th year of Zhengde, learned the news, he decided that he must go to Jiajing Dynasty to participate in beating Zhu Houcong.
No matter who is going to fight Zhu Houcong, Zhu Houzhao will go to help out!
…
In the twenty-first year of Jiajing reign, on the night of October 21st, Yikun Palace.
After a tiring day, Zhu Houcong was sleeping soundly in Concubine Cao Duan's Yikun Palace.
To be honest, he was indeed quite tired. At this time, Zhu Houcong was not as wholeheartedly advocating for Taoism as he was in the later period, but the intrigues with the courtiers and playing with balance were also very draining of brain cells.
Furthermore, there was a fire just the year before last. If Fa Xiao Lu Bing hadn't desperately carried him out, he might have been killed in the fire. This also made him increasingly suspicious and distrustful of anyone.
I originally wanted to see the turtle presented by Zhao Wenhua today, but I always felt irritable, so I didn't go and went to see Concubine Cao Duan instead.
But he didn't know that a conspiracy against him had quietly arrived.
The magical turtle he wanted to see today had already left Hexi the day before yesterday. The cause of death is also quite funny. The five colors on the back of the turtle were dyed. Once it entered the water, the turtle ate the dye and was poisoned to death.
But even if he knew about it, he obviously couldn't admit it. The only way to deal with it is to accept this dumb loss and turn the target of the attack on the palace maids who were assigned to raise turtles.
Naturally, the palace maids knew that they wanted to feed Xiangrui to death, and they would definitely not be able to eat and carry around. After all, Zhu Houcong was a bit poisoned by heavy metals after taking elixirs, and his temper was extremely irritable in the hot weather. This bastard was raised to death, and his death was a happy one, but he was afraid of being killed by a stick, which would not be pleasant.
Just when they were panicking and not knowing what to do, Wang Ningbin came to the door.
Wang Ningbin's words are very simple, that is, strike first to gain advantage, strike later and suffer disaster. Either way, he would die, so it would be better to be beheaded and pull the emperor down from his horse.
The frightened palace maids such as Yang Jinying naturally did not ask Wang Ningbin why she wanted to murder the emperor. They just regarded her as a fellow sufferer.
Of course, Wang Ningbin would not tell them her motives. Just thinking of the man's promise, coupled with the twisted resentment of not being favored in the palace for many years, made her agree to the matter without any hesitation.
It so happened that Zhu Houcong stayed at Concubine Cao Duan's palace tonight, and Concubine Cao Duan and Concubine Wang Ning had been grudges for a long time. Wang Ningbin’s idea is also very simple, what the hell GHG, I will let you know today that this H means hatred.
Speaking of the contradiction between the two, it is very simple. Although Wang Ningbi is not very beautiful, she is good at writing good Qingci. Qingci is a kind of memorial and blessing text used by Taoist priests when they go to heaven. The famous Yan Song and Xu Jie are the masters of it.
But Concubine Cao Duan was very beautiful, and Emperor Jiajing was also a man after all, so Zhu Houcong always stayed at Concubine Cao Duan's place whenever he came and went. Wang Ningbin was particularly jealous of this and always cursed the vixen more than once.
This matter was heard by a palace maid, so she went to tell Concubine Cao Duan in a more jealous manner. The palace maid’s reason is also very simple. Although you didn’t mention her by name, I’ve been in the palace for so many years. Don’t I still know who the vixen is?
Therefore, Concubine Cao Duan took advantage of the pillow wind and said to Zhu Houcong that Wang Ningbi not only said that she was a vixen, but also said that Your Majesty, you have acquired the smell of a fox in your concubine, and you will never become a fairy!
Of course Jiajing couldn't bear it. This was his most taboo, so in a rage, he ordered Wang Ningbin to be beaten up and sent to collect dew. This also gave her a chance to get to know Yang Jinying and others.
So the troubled sisters naturally hooked up together. If something like this happened now, how could Wang Ningbin let it go? The foreign minister's promise, her resentment towards Concubine Cao Duan, and her anger towards Zhu Houcong all added up, causing her to sharpen her sword against Houcong.
Of course, she also knew that she could not expose herself directly, so she controlled the situation from behind the scenes and ordered the palace ladies to take action.
At midnight, eighteen palace maids, including Yang Jinying, Guan Meixiu, Suchuan Yao, Yao Shucui, and Wang Xiulan, under the command of Wang Ningbin, untied a fine ceremonial flower rope and twisted it into a rope.
"Sisters! Kill the tyrant today!" Wang Ningbin's eyes were firm: "As long as we kill him, our death will be worth it!"
"Yes! It's worth it!" Yang Jinying immediately agreed. After she lowered her head and glanced at everyone, she called them to go to Yikun Palace.
They sneaked into the palace and threw themselves on the bed.
Several palace maids were responsible for holding Concubine Cao Duan down, and Concubine Cao Duan was immediately awakened. But her mouth had already been pressed down, and she could only make a whimpering sound.
"Don't move, I'll kill you if you do!" Yang Cuiying threatened viciously.
Concubine Cao Duan's eyes were horrified. She didn't know what was happening. Her intense fear made it impossible for her to listen to what the maids were saying. She could only kick her legs to try to wake Zhu Houcong up.
Of course the method works, but it's too late.
When Zhu Houcong opened his eyes, his neck had been strangled tightly.
Zhu Houcong was certainly not the kind of person to sit still and wait for death. He wanted to scream, but found that he could not make any sound because his mouth was tightly gagged. He wanted to struggle, but seven or eight women held him down, and Xing Cuilian pressed her chest. In front of him, Wang Huaixiang pressed his body, Suchuan Yao held his left hand, Guan Meixiu held his right hand, Liu Miaolian and Chen Juhua pressed their legs, and Yao Shugao and Guan Meixiu pulled the noose.
But in any case, Zhu Houcong was a man after all, and he was much stronger than these palace maids. In addition, the strong desire to survive burst out under the trapped beast, making him struggle violently.
Seeing Zhu Houcong struggling desperately, the palace maids tied the rope into a knot, but accidentally tied it into a dead knot. The harder they pulled, the tighter the knot became, and the less they could cause any substantial harm to Zhu Houcong.
"Stick him with a hairpin!" Someone yelled, and Yang Jinying immediately reacted. Together with several palace maids, they pulled out the hairpin from their heads and stabbed Zhu Houcong randomly.
Under the pain, Zhu Houcong struggled even more fiercely. Liu Miaolian and Chen Juhua couldn't hold them down at all, and they even got kicked a few times by him.
Zhang Jinlian, who was standing guard at the door, began to panic. So many people were holding down the emperor, but they couldn't kill him. This undoubtedly proved that Zhu Houcong had destiny. She weighed for a moment and decided to abandon these sisters and go straight to Kunning Palace, hoping to surrender to Queen Fang.
Queen Fang had already rested. When she heard the sound of stumbling outside, she couldn't help but asked unhappily: "Who is it?"
She had already made up her mind to repair this reckless thing.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Zhang Jinlian stammered and shouted, speaking quickly, he told the Queen about the conspiracy of more than ten maids in the palace.
When Empress Fang heard that a group of palace maids dared to commit such a treasonous act, her face changed. She immediately got up and asked people to find Huang Jin, and rushed to Yikun Palace with them.
She was worried about Zhu Houcong, so she went to Yikun Palace alone without waiting for Huang Jin to come.
As soon as she entered Yikun Palace, Queen Fang saw a group of palace maids riding on Zhu Houcong's body and strangulating her to death. In desperation, she immediately stopped her loudly: "What are you doing!"
Unexpectedly, the palace maids saw that she was alone and did not let go. The palace maid who was holding Concubine Cao Duan immediately rushed forward and punched Empress Fang twice in the face.
"You..." Queen Fang just shouted out and was pushed to the ground.
From the corner of his eye, Zhu Houcong saw Queen Fang being held down. His heart felt cold and his hands softened.
"Work harder! He's going to die!" Yang Jinying couldn't help but be overjoyed and loudly urged to take action quickly.
At this time, at the entrance of Yikun Palace, Lao Zhu stared at the "grand occasion" inside with his mouth open, looking at each other with everyone.
"Come on!" Zhu Xi saw the excitement and cheered outside without taking it too seriously.
It doesn't matter if he yells. Looking at the group of people outside, the maids instantly ran out of ideas.
As soon as his hand relaxed, Zhu Houcong immediately seized the opportunity. Regardless of the fact that he was still bleeding, Zhu Houcong rolled around on the bed crazily. As he rolled around like this, the rope came loose.
At this time, Huang Jin also led people to the scene. When he saw Lao Zhu and his party, he immediately ordered the locks to be taken away.
"Huang Jin! Don't be rude!" Zhu Youqian immediately stopped him.
Seeing Zhu Youqi, as an old man in Prince Xing's Mansion, Huang Jin immediately thought of the old Prince Xingxian.
He knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed three times.
"Why are you still standing there? Go and save people!" Zhu Youqi said with an unhappy expression.
Huang Jin did not dare to neglect and immediately led people in to rescue people.
Soon, Yang Jinying and others were all captured.
Looking at Zhu Houcong who was breathing out but not in, Li Qing curled his lips, took out a large pill and stuffed it into his mouth.
The pill melted in his mouth and turned into a warm current that spread into Zhu Houcong's limbs and bones, quickly repairing the scars on his body and restoring his little remaining physical strength.
If it weren't for the fact that this kid was quite capable, Li Qing wouldn't have bothered to save him.
This problem needs to be corrected for him.
Zhu Houcong gasped twice on the bed, and got up in an instant.
The first thing he did was not to find trouble with the palace maids, but to bow down to Li Qingna.
"Your Excellency, the Immortal Master, please pay me your kind respect!"
Zhu Houcong originally believed in Taoism and was superstitious about immortals. The pill he had taken before made him feel hot and uncomfortable after eating it. He almost choked to death every time he swallowed it. Just as he was in a trance, he felt that the pills given to him by the immortal master melted in his mouth, without the feeling of having to swallow hard at all. And it works very quickly after taking it. Apart from real elixirs, what else can have such miraculous effects?
Zhu Houcong was convinced of this. In his excitement, he thought that his usual belief in Taoism had come to fruition. He moved heaven and earth, and finally waited for the immortal.
In this critical moment, who can save me... save me from fire and water, besides the immortal! Zhu Houcong thought viciously.
Look, look, this is called sincerity, you don’t call yourself me in your heart.
"Hey, don't be in a hurry to worship me." Li Qing said immediately: "I didn't come by myself this time. Who is this?"
With that said, Li Qing stepped aside.
When Zhu Houcong raised his head, he saw his father glaring at him.
"Dad?" Zhu Houcong looked at the father he hadn't seen for more than 20 years with a strange expression, and it took him a long time to say: "Are you not dead?"
Zhu Di:......
You kid is trying to steal my copyright, right?
"It's not just your father and I, our Ming Emperor Taizu Emperor Gao, Emperor Taizong Wen, and your emperor brother have all seen your virtue just now." Zhu Youzhao's face was longer than Zhu Houzhao's donkey face: "You Look at you, why are you being pinned down on the bed and beaten by a group of palace maids? Don’t say you are my son when you go out next time..."
"Yes, let's sit at the children's table for dinner." Zhu Ping was watching the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal.
Zhu Houcong was shocked, why did such an incident happen today and all the ancestors came?
Queen Fang on the side also secretly said that it was a pity that she could not take this opportunity to kill the vixen Concubine Cao Duan. It was really uncomfortable!
It was worse than killing her.
"Huang Daban..." Zhu Houcong looked at Huang Jin aside.
"I'm here, old slave." Huang Jin wiped away his tears, God is pitiful, our prince has suffered so much injustice.
"Take these bitches down! Let's interrogate who ordered them!" Zhu Houcong cursed angrily.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. How could these damn palace maids have the guts to come over and strangle the emperor?
There must be forces outside the palace that intervened and bribed these palace ladies to plot evil.
Zhu Houcong's first target was Xia Yan, and his intuition told him that the dog he had raised already had its own consciousness.
Then, he looked at Concubine Cao Duan who was strangled half to death and Empress Fang who had a bruised nose and face, and sighed.
"Concubine Cao Duan is the noble concubine." Zhu Houcong ordered, then knelt down and asked Li Qing: "Master Immortal, can you give me two fairy medicines, Houcong these two..."
Li Qing didn't say anything and threw two pills to Zhu Houcong.
When he was just standing at the door, Zhu Houxun's complex and bizarre emotional value contributed almost one million to him in just a few minutes. For such a big fat sheep, why didn't Li Qing give up those hundreds of emotional values?
After appeasing the queen and Concubine Cao Duan, Zhu Houcong proposed to move to Qianqing Palace, where he could have a detailed chat with the immortal master and the ancestors.
Being smart, he almost immediately thought that it was the Immortal Master who brought these ancestors through time to the Jiajing Dynasty, rather than the ancestors acting spontaneously.
Thinking about it, if the ancestors could manifest themselves, they would have manifested themselves long ago. Why wait until now?
Who would have thought that as soon as they arrived at Qianqing Palace, they would see Zhu Houzhao standing up.
"Who are you?" Zhu Houcong asked subconsciously. The feudal lord has been living in Anlu, Huguang since the seventh year of Zhu Youzhi's reign, and Zhu Houcong was born in the second year of Zhengde. Although the two are nominally cousins, they have never met at all.
In addition, Zhu Houzhao inherited his mother's big donkey face, so Zhu Houzhao subconsciously didn't like him very much.
There was no way, Empress Dowager Zhang was so good at being a monster in the harem, she even used her power to suppress others. Not only did she always find fault with his biological mother, Empress Dowager Chiang, she also always colluded with the courtiers to suppress him.
If Zhu Houcong was also a time traveler, he would definitely use the word "little fairy" to describe Queen Mother Zhang.
"I'm your uncle!" Zhu Houcong said angrily while looking for trouble with the guy who took advantage of him.
Oh, it turns out to be my uncle...
"I've met Uncle Huang..." Zhu Houcong was quite honest and didn't think much about it.
In his opinion, Zhu Houzhao had a bad relationship with Empress Dowager Zhang, so he would definitely not stand up for her; and the only one who was deeply in love with Empress Dowager Zhang was Zhu Youtang, so he subconsciously thought that this long-faced man was his uncle Zhu Youtang.
"He is your imperial brother! What kind of imperial uncle!" Zhu Youqian went up and gave Zhu Houcong a slap in the face: "He is acting stupid, and you are also making fun of him?"
Zhu Houzhao picked up two chairs, threw one to Zhu Houcong, and stared at him angrily.
"Come on, come on, you take this chair, and I'll take a chair too, and we'll fight for three hundred rounds!"
