Riku was stolen and the clues were very clear.
Ji Fu is responsible for delivering news inside and outside the palace, Lin Xiaojiu is responsible for providing oil paper, Xu Xun is responsible for delivering the news, 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.
However, anyone can steal Liku, except Zhu Qizhen!
Because what he wants is restoration, not emptying his family fortune!
He knows better that if Liku's treasure flows into the public, it will cause political turmoil, which will not be good for him.
The most important thing is that he got these treasures to no avail.
If not Zhu Qizhen, who else could it be?
Knowing all about Zhu Qizhen's hidden secrets, forcing the Tian family brothers to kill each other, who will benefit from it?
Civilian 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 distrust anyone. They drove me crazy! 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 have all of you 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, Zheng said everyone got the full content of the mission? She is lying!
There were so many people in the palace during the entire plan, and the whole city was under martial law. It was impossible for everyone to have someone to deliver the message!
On the one hand, the time was not right, because the theft of money 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, show her some color!" Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and asked Wang Wen to wait.
"Ahhh!"
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 smirked.
"Is there anything I don't want to see? Come on!"
"Please let me go get some silver needles."
Shu Liang asked Fanzi to stare at the two seats and said, "Mrs. Zheng, you are the emperor's wife. I want to see if your place is different from the others."
"Ah!" Zheng screamed.
Because Shu Liang put a needle through it.
"Your Majesty, have mercy on her! Your Majesty, have mercy on her! We have all been attacked, and we have said everything. Your Majesty, please stop torturing her. You cannot avenge your personal revenge!" Ji Fu cried beside her.
Mrs. Zheng's entire face turned pale: "I said it all..."
"Calling myself a slave!" Shu Liang took another needle and inserted it!
"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. That is to say, the commander of the theft of Liku is you! So, you must have seen you If you are online, tell me! I will not torture you, but I will give you and your wife a complete corpse!"
"My slave made a slip of the tongue for a moment, a slip of the tongue for a moment!" Mrs. Zheng twisted in pain.
"This place may seem small, but compared to needles, it's also very big. It 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 didn't spit.
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.
"I'm doing it! I'm doing it!" Ji Fu couldn't stand it any more, and all the needles went in!
Not only is it painful, it’s terrifying!
There's a needle stuck in there and it can't be pulled out!
"explain!"
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.
"Impossible! It's not Zhang Bin!"
Zhu Qiyu didn't believe it, because Zhang Bin was Zhang Shi's son, and Zhang Shi had been punished. His son was also the son of a sinner, and he was destined to die.
If it was really him, Ji Fu and his wife would not cover up for him.
"It's Zhang Jin, Zhang Fu's son, right?" Zhu Qiyu understood immediately.
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 mortal man, to protect the real murderer Zhang Jin.
"Come on, 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 British nobles are 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 arrest your children first and Ling Chi 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 a single thing. Really, we were only responsible for stealing. The plan to transport the treasures through the culvert 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 Li Kuli's treasure 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 Supreme Emperor's uprising, he urgently needed money to stabilize people's hearts. But something happened in the palace and people were in chaos, so it was 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 Duke turned to the civilian officials.
The nobles fell 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 killing too many people!
I was afraid of killing the honorable nobles, so the noble nobles and the 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 there will be a result 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. His face was haggard and he looked very old. It seems that he is 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, where did Mr. Ge's crime come from?" Zhu Qiyu remained calm.
Wang Wen knelt down in a very standard posture, tapping his forehead on the ground, crying: "I am loyal to Your Majesty, and I will never change my mind."
Zhu Qiyuhan kept a straight face and said nothing.
Wang Wen didn't dare to speak, and the atmosphere was so stiff.
"hehe!"
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, 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 was heartbroken. 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 was just the other way around, all because he spoke to the emperor.
"Humph, now that something happened to my son, I'm thinking of me! What do you think of me? You still don't dare? I think you are very brave! You even dare to steal Riku!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "Tell me, why is there Liku's treasure in your pawn shop?"
"ah?"
Wang Wen was immediately stunned, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to you, and I will never dare to touch Li Ku! I have been an official for many years, how dare I touch Li Ku? 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. Two things happened one after the other.
From then on, I was 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 interested in 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 the Liku treasure in Wang Wen's shop, and shifted his pursuit attention to Wang Wen.
My eyes returned to the court. The court asked internal funds to share the military expenses and forced me to come up with the money. They pretended to be fundraising again and slapped me in the face! Block all my ways of making money!
Then he accused Wang Lun of murder, forcing me to stand up and defend Wang Wen to the death.
In the court, it seemed that I had saved Wang Wen.
But what if Dali Temple finds the inner treasure from Wang Wen's home?
How can I protect him?
Stealing Liku's treasured hat fell on Wang Wen's head. No one could save Wang Wen! Neither can I!
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 only 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?
Support the crown 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 won't even know how I died!"
That's right, only Chen Xun could lay such a big plan, 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 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!
Countless people were recommended by him, Chen Xun, to serve as officials in the court.
Many more 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 looked at the carpet blankly, his head was confused, and he murmured: "A trap, this is a trap! Someone is harming me, someone is harming me!"
"His 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 library!" This must be a frame-up of traitors!"
"Who framed it?" Zhu Qiyu deliberately guided him.
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, please 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 was 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.
"My lord, my lord..."
Wang Wen knew that he had said the wrong thing.
"The dignified chief minister actually has a fortune of millions. Okay, 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 give you the right to take advantage of him, 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 you 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, without me taking action, you won't survive the day when the army goes out?"
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 give you the right to do things for your own convenience. You can investigate the stolen treasures in the library. You can dispatch officials from the Ministry of Punishment, 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. Clear the theft case of Liku! 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 level. Chen Xun wanted to force the emperor to cut off his arm 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 Li Ku's treasure from the palace, and even give the Supreme Emperor's secrets to the emperor, we can see that Chen Xun's control over the court is terrifying!
How to deal with such a person?
"There is no need for your 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 sufferer more money. Do you, the dignified Shaobao and the bachelor of Jinshen Palace, still have so little money? Things that can be settled with money, It’s nothing, I’ll ask Lu Gao to wipe your butt.”
"As for you, just do the things I entrust you with."
Even the emperor Zhu Qiyu could not 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 add trouble to 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 not to know about it." (Recorded by the writer and dramatist Tu Jia)
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 anything 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 crony Chen Kui can prove it!" Wang Wendao.
The rumors in the capital camp were most likely spread by Xungui.
As for Chen Kui, the leader was Li Shimian. In the twelfth year of the orthodoxy, 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 the emperor back! But Li Ji’s candidate was 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 are fellow villagers, 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 had 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 knocked on the border, the emperor was in a state of distress, and the military situation at the border was in turmoil.
Yu Qian took command and went on an expedition again. He was the core figure who stabilized the morale of the army, the government, and the people. But at this time, rumors about Yu Qian spread! It’s really heartbreaking!
But Wang Wen, this fool, helped spread rumors in order to cause trouble for me!
Are you crazy?
If Yu Qian dies, I will be the first to be buried with him! The second one is you!
Do you think I'm 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 say anything about it?
Because I know very well that Yu Qian can still survive if he controls the capital camp, otherwise I would have killed him long ago! Can you keep him till today?
Even Shu Liang understands this truth, but you, a dignified 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, stupid piece of trash!
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, Chen Xun will have to endure no matter what I do 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 and put me in a cage!
But when Yu Qian leaves Beijing, he can be on the third level at any time!
He can use his internal treasure to kill Wang Wen, and 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, and any method can be used. Yes, 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 was 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 those who do 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, then it would be more harm than good to take it out on him.
"Where is the gambling house?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly thought that during the Zhengtong years, 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 wait till the end of the order!"
In other words, behind the gambling houses are all officials from the capital, and each one has a bigger background than the last.
It’s okay to catch a few to set an example and collect 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 showed a fierce light: "I will leave it to you, Shu Liang! If you capture 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 driven that he even cared about mosquito legs. Those rebellious officials and traitors should all be killed!
Wang Wen resigned, and Shu Liang took 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 a middle-aged eunuch back to kneel down and report.
Zhu Qiyu saw that the middle-aged eunuch looked unfamiliar and asked him.
"Returning to your Majesty, this servant was originally working as a handyman in the Ministry of Prisons. She 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 is it call?"
"I have forgotten my original name. After entering the palace, I will give you the name Huai En. If the emperor is not satisfied, please give me the name!" The middle-aged eunuch was very respectful.
Wynn?
This person has a very good reputation in history and 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, 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 blessed by heaven and be valued by Jin Zhong, who was waiting in front of the emperor. Then he was valued by His Majesty the Emperor and reached the sky in one step.
Zhu Qiyu asked someone to send Wynn's files over, and 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 to 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 reading it for a few times, he felt dizzy. It was 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.
Snapped!
Zhu Qiyu threw the memorial to the ground and was furious: "I read it for a quarter of an hour! The result is a useful sentence! This Fuzhou prefect arrested me and brought him to the capital! Let me ask 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 flickered: "Reply him, he talks a lot of nonsense, change it!"
"Ah? Is this how you reply?" Feng Xiao was surprised. Such a reply was really too 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!
"Declaration 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!"
Feng Xiao saw that the emperor was furious and 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.
"My slave obeys the 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 the 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 in the capital are getting old, sick and dying all the time. Doctors are in urgent need. I dare you, your majesty, to 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 lord, Eunuch Shu may have been busy and forgot." Feng Xiao replied.
Zhu Qiyu sighed. His subordinates really had to work for ten people, and they didn't even have time to sleep. He really couldn't be harsh.
"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 is anyone who died due to delay by the doctor Everyone, give me some reward, I will give it to you."
"My slave obeys the order." Feng Xiao smiled bitterly. The emperor was very generous. What would he do if he had no money?
"Make the female doctor 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 maintaining your kidneys."
"I know." Zhu Qiyu responded in a muffled voice.
But lately, I'm ready to take action, but 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 slender beauty.
Tsk tsk tsk.
As if noticing the blazing light, Tan Yunxian stood up quickly, 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 reveal a beautiful face, which would be perfect.
"Your Majesty!" Jin Zhong's face was full of resentment.
"What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, what kind of merchants are they? They are simply robbers! Guess how much they lowered the price of Huangzhuang? I have been wrangling with them for a long time, but they only raised a little money. I 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, there will be ghosts. Don't forget who did the money theft! The thief shouts "Catch the thief!"
"Okay, calm down, order the merchants to enter the palace, and I will talk to them." Zhu Qiyu was 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: "Come here and see 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 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 merchants did not dare to speak.
They dared to bargain with Jin Zhong, but Chen Xun was supporting them. 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 they gave is the fairest price on the market."
"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 ordinary 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, and 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 money that Huangzhuang owed 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 belong to you, how about it?"
"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. With the opening of border trade in recent years, you have made a lot of money. You can definitely get 200,000 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 weak and cannot afford the big business of two hundred thousand 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 return you 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, and only their heartbeats could be heard in the Xinuan Pavilion.
"The Zhang family of Pingyang (Linfen) 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 imperial village It’s worthless!”
Every word Zhu Qiyu said seemed to hit Zhang Renxiao's heart.
Don't forget, the Ming Dynasty suppressed businessmen. The businessman's social status was extremely low. In order to face the saint, he even put on businessman's 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, he 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, and he is definitely an eternal wise man!
"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 you sell Huangzhuang to them so cheaply?
"Zhang Renxiao, I appreciate you very much. Please stay for dinner."
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Jin Zhong: "Pass the meal."
"Flat body, 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 coming, the treasury is empty and there is no money to repair it."
"So I want to leave the renovation project of 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 was 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 a cow doesn't drink water and you force it to be pressed on its head, I'm a benevolent king through the ages. How can I do that kind of thing? If you don't want to contract, then 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 provocations for no reason and humiliate no one in our Ming Dynasty!" Zhang Renxiao was filled with anger.
"There are people with lofty ideals among the people! Good! Zhang Renxiao, you are very good!"
Zhu Qiyu praised: "The army has been organized in the court and ready to go. The prince's young master Yu Qian personally took command and led an army of 270,000 to march north to Oara. We must not let the Oara people break Xuanzhen!"
Zhang Renxiao and others were excited and praised the emperor for his wisdom and martial prowess.
"but."
Zhu Qiyu changed the subject: "The imperial court is in trouble. The household budget is low, the internal funds are all emptied, and there is still a gap in silver. 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. Your Majesty, please forgive me, 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.
"You too?" Zhu Qiyu looked at the other merchants with desperate eyes.
"Caomin also donates a car and rice valley, so there is no Majesty!"
These businessmen's mouths are not easy, some actually said that they can't eat enough food when they go home, and don't look at the appearance of more than two hundred pounds of pounds, brain full of intestines!
"Nothing?" Zhu Qiyu looked suddenly, as if he was about to cry.
"There is no Majesty!"
Zhang Renxiao vowed: "If the Cao Min family has another one or two silver, they will also donate to the country! The soldiers throw their heads in front of them and can not go to the battlefield. Can they even be reluctant to even float? "
"There is a country with a country, so I say well! Say well!"
Zhu Qiyu's voice became cold: "Zhang Renxiao! And you! I gave you many opportunities! You don't know cherish it!"
"The country is in trouble, I give up my face and ask you to donate with you.
"This is my face!"
"Somebody come!"
"Chop him one finger!"
"I tell you! This world is me! I let you give birth, you can give birth! I let you die! Don't want to live!"
"chop!"
Zhang Renxiao is stupid.
He thought that the emperor would only cry, despair, and decadent, but did not expect that the emperor actually lifted the table!
"No, no, don't! Ah!"
Zhang Renxiao's eyes widened and screamed: "Your Majesty, you can't chop the grass people's hand because you don't donate silver without donating silver! Ahhhh!"
He was so painful that his entire face was distorted, and he questioned the emperor like a evil ghost.
"What are you called me? 'You'? Hum, even if it is the cabinet's first assistant, you have to call me 'you', what kind of dog you are! Actually dare to despise the emperor! Chop it!" Zhu Qiyu was angry.
Zhang Renxiao was going to hide. Just when Jin Zhong came back, when he saw the emperor's furious, Zhang Renxiao was hiding, and he rolled him directly: "Sword! Chop your fingers, grind, delay the kung fu of the emperor!"
Having said that he stepped on Zhang Renxiao's hand, the knife was everything, and his finger fell.
"Ah!" Zhang Renxiao screamed with a big mouth.
"I am good at discussing with you, do you think of me as Kaizi? Chop it again!" Zhu Qiyu's face was cold.
"Emperor, chop his dog's paw directly!" Jin Zhong was even more ruthless.
"chop!"
Zhang Renxiao looked at his hand and left his wrist. Jin Zhong chopped it for a moment, and did not chop it off. He repeatedly chopped three or four knives before chopping it.
The blood redly redd the carpet, and Zhang Renxiao's scream tearing the Qianqing Palace.
"I will be leased for twenty years, and you want you 100,000 silver. Is it not fair?"
"I want to contract the project of the Forbidden City to you, isn't it kind enough?
"But how did you repay me?"
"You treat me as a meal! I open my mouth with your businessmen, and give me five hundred or two silvers! My face, Tianjia's face, Daming's face, is it worth five or two silver?"
"Deserve to kill! Deserve to kill!"
"Chop it again!"
Zhu Qiyu was furious.
He was not so angry.
The key he has tolerate it again and again, Zhang Renxiao has to enter the foot!
He was all troubled by himself!
No wonder others!
Jin Zhong stepped on his other hand, waved his knife again, chopped a finger!
"I, the twelve Huangzhuang, is it worth 2,000 silver?" Zhu Qiyu stared at him.
"value……"
Zhu Qiyu "um", Zhang Renxiao immediately changed his mouth to say that it was worthless, and the actual value must be higher.
"Then you have committed the crime of bullying the king, the nine tribe!"
Zhu Qiyu said fiercely: "Tell me, who instructed you to accept the emperor Zhuangzhuang? Say!"
"Obviously ..." Zhang Renxiao glanced at Jin Zhong, obviously you were selling.
"explain!"
Zhang Renxiao didn't dare to say it.
"Drive, Zhang Renxiao deceives the king, he is very disrespectful to me, be the clan!" Zhu Qiyu spit out a turbid air.
This damn businessmen, you have made a lot of money by border trade. Now the battle of the court, if you are willing to donate a sum of money, even if you are Chen Xun, you will let you go, at least you have patriotism. Heart.
But do you actually use five hundred or two silvers to send me, hit your face? Hehe, you really forget how Shen Wanshan died! (Wild history Shen Wanan)
"Her Majesty, Her Majesty, don't!" Zhang Ren asked for mercy.
"Then you said, why do you want to be an emperor?"
"Yes, yes ..." Zhang Renxiao didn't dare to say, because when he said this name, he would die, but if he didn't say, he would be raised by the clan ...
"Drag it out, cut it."
Zhu Qiyu was not patient, and looked at another businessman: "You say!"
With a sound, the merchant fell softly on the ground, and his urination was incontinence.
"I said, I said!" Zhang Renxiao didn't understand what he meant first. Jin Zhong told him that he had cut out his heart. When he heard the punishment, he was scared to recognize.
He was dragged back.
"Someone contacted Caomin and asked Cao Min to collect His Majesty's Huangzhuang at a low price." Zhang Renxiao cried so much that he sold the people behind him and lost his hand. It was too miserable.
This is to despise the price of the emperor.
"Don't cry! Say people names!" Zhu Qiyu was looking forward to his name.
"Wang Yan."
Zhu Qiyu looked at Feng Xiao, and Feng Xiao whispered: "It was recommended by Chen Shifu.
"Go to catch Wang Yan!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered, and the opportunity to break the situation came!
"Then, who else?"
"No, no!" Zhang Renxiao cried like a fool.
"Zhang Renxiao, do you really have only 500 silver in your house?" Zhu Qiyu thought about it, or silver.
Zhang Renxiao swallowed and dared to speak.
"I know your home, and you will know. If there are only five hundred or two silver, I will give you a archway. If there are too many, it is the crime of bullying the monarch. You have to weigh clearly." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.
"His Majesty!" Zhang Renxiao cried: "The Chen was lying, lying!"
"How much silver do you have?"
"One hundred thousand!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes became red all of a sudden. You are a businessmen, but they are richer than 朕?
Should be killed! They all deserve to be killed!
No wonder Taizu built Shen Wanan into the wall! They all deserve to be killed!
"The emperor is not good!"
But at this time, some eunuchs cried and came in and reported: "The emperor, the concubine mother's bones are not used, and they can't stand it anymore, there is no medical!"
Zhu Qiyu's pupils shrink, Li Xianfei?
In the past two years, she has been sick in bed. The doctor said that there is no big life, and it is sufficient.
"Quickly talk about the female doctor, hurry up! I will go right away!"
The original owner didn't have much emotion to this concubine, but Zhu Qiyu felt strange.
It's strange!
Why is it so coincidentally? What do you want to do, they know what I am doing?
He stared at the person he was waiting for ...
There may be wrong words, the author will change it after posting!
