But is the emperor talking about the concubine in the palace?
Obviously not.
They were Zhang Fu's three daughters from another marriage.
The eldest daughter married Mu Bin, the Duke of Guizhou. Mu Bin had passed away, and his son Mu Cong succeeded him. Mu Cong was only eight years old this year. The Duke of Guizhou's mansion was in charge of Mu Cong's cousin Mu Lin.
Zhang was still the wife of a first-class Duke. She did not give birth to any children. She was only Mu Cong's legitimate mother.
The third daughter married Wu Ying, the uncle of Qingping. Wu Ying was dead. In the second year of Jingtai, his son Wu Xi took the title. However, in the sixth year of Jingtai, Wu Xi was deprived of the title because of corruption and lived idle.
The fourth daughter married Zhu Yong as his stepmother.
The most difficult ones to deal with are not Uncle Qingping and Uncle Funing.
With a decree, Zhang will be given death.
The most difficult thing to deal with is the Mu family, Duke of Guizhou.
If the Mu family is disturbed, it will be difficult to maintain stability in Yunnan.
Not moving, the emperor couldn't relieve the feeling in his heart.
As for the two concubines in the palace, they could go down to serve the late emperor quietly.
It's so easy.
"Please give your Majesty a secret order to Wang Wen, so that Wang Wen can personally visit the Mu Mansion and order the Duke and Mrs. Qian to commit suicide in order to save face." Hu Ming said helplessly.
"Old Master, isn't it too inhumane for you to do this?"
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "After all, Zhang Fu has made great contributions to the country. He can be regarded as a famous general, and he is also a prince. How can he kill all his descendants?"
"I can't bear it."
Come on, you have to pretend to be a good person again.
Hu Bi gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty is soft-hearted, but have you thought about the voices of those who died in the Tumu Fort battle? There are more than 500,000 people, how innocent they are!"
"It was all destroyed by Zhang Fu alone!"
Wasn’t it destroyed by Wang Zhen’s hands before? This time it was Zhang Fu, and there was no sense of disobedience.
The mouth of a civil servant.
Zhu Qiyu said nothing.
"Your Majesty, please eliminate all traces of Zhang Fu's existence so that the face of King Mobei can be preserved!" Wang Hong was even more ruthless.
Simply hide Zhang Fu.
"What Mr. Wangge said is very true."
"Your Majesty cares about Zhang Fu's posthumous name, but has he ever thought about the reputation of King Mobei?"
"King Mobei is related to the royal family and must not be affected."
The courtiers spoke in unison.
The British government has completely collapsed.
Who would hold a worthless person and offend the current emperor?
The fall is already unstoppable.
"What you said makes sense."
"King Mobei's face really needs to be maintained."
"We can't let it be recorded in the history books. The word "Stupid" is written on King Mobei's forehead. He acts even more stupidly and is a brainless fool!"
"Let today's people laugh at you and future generations will laugh at you."
"He is shameless, but I still want shame!"
"The late emperor still wants to be shameless!"
"Let me help him smooth things over. It's not just once or twice. We can't let future generations read the actual records of the Zhengtong Dynasty. It's full of stupid comments, right?"
"Oh, Zhang Fu is the only one who has suffered. For the sake of King Mobei, please suffer."
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "Send the message to Wang Wen and ask him to find a way to go to Mu Mansion to deliver the message to the Zhang family and maintain stability in Yunnan."
"Wu Xi's lineage will grant death to the Zhang family, never give them a title, and exile them to Rehe."
"As for Zhu Yong, he has many sons. It doesn't matter how many of them die. Those who are relevant will be given death and the title of Earl of Funing will be taken back."
"A shameful thing is nothing but clinging to a relationship!"
"The concubine in the palace, please find an excuse to go down and serve me."
Zhu Qiyu stood up slowly: "Historical books only record Zhang Fu's contribution, not others. The king's worship remains as usual, and must not be neglected."
"When biographies of famous generals are compiled in the future, they will be compiled as usual and will not be affected."
If you put Zhang Fu's tombstone there, it would make people poke his spine.
You even compiled the biography of famous generals, but you even ranked him with Yu Jin, treating him like a shitty famous general.
It's better to just seize the title and smash the tombstone, clean and tidy.
But at this moment, Feng Xiao knelt down on the ground excitedly: "My congratulations to the emperor and to the world! The good news came from the selected servants in Jingyang Palace. The imperial doctor has confirmed again and again that she is indeed pregnant!"
Feng Xiao's voice was loud.
The noisy Fengtian Hall suddenly became silent.
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Qiyu laughed loudly: "Rewards, all the servants in Jingyang Palace will be rewarded!"
"Lin's meritorious service makes her a concubine."
"Send someone to tell Lin Cong the good news! Everyone is happy!"
really.
As long as no one in the palace makes any tricks, giving birth to a child is a matter of course.
He is in good health, and after only three months, all four concubines have begun to stir up trouble.
He used to work hard every day to no avail.
Look how many heirs Emperor Taizu had?
If King Mobei hadn't gone to Nangong, how could he have given birth to so many children?
"Although the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, everyone must not have had enough mooncakes."
"Order Guanglu Temple to rush to make moon cakes. All the courtiers will receive two kilograms of moon cakes as my reward."
"Everyone serving in the palace will be given half a catty."
“The whole world celebrates!”
Zhu Qiyu beamed with joy: "This year's autumn tax will be reduced or exempted as appropriate, nationwide, to celebrate the birth of my four children!"
"In the future, the general amnesty will be replaced by tax reductions and exemptions, so that people all over the world can benefit. This will truly lead to universal celebration."
Zhu Qiyu laughed and said: "The report from the residence clearly shows the world, and the whole world celebrates."
However, the courtier could not laugh out loud.
When good news spreads in the harem, the emperor can reward him generously and make the whole world celebrate.
Once a child in the harem was in danger, the emperor would take action on the courtiers.
Everyone has seen through it.
The emperor frequently wielded his sword because he was worried that someone would harm his heirs!
"I congratulate Your Majesty and the Ming Dynasty!" The courtiers knelt on the ground.
I can't tell which one is human and which one is ghost.
Zhu Qiyu looked down at the ministers with a gloomy look: "Where is Luo Jun?"
Luo Jun, who was outside the door, heard the imperial edict and walked into the Fengtian Hall. He took out the memorial from his sleeve and bowed before offering it to him.
After Zhou Xuan's investigation, it was found that the money in the pigsty did not belong to Luo Jun.
But someone bribed Luo Jun's servant and buried the money in the pig pen.
Who is still checking.
But there were also clues found on the silver.
It's all official silver.
"Zhou Xuan, tell me!" Zhu Qiyu threw the memorial on the imperial case. Feng Xiao picked it up and handed it to the courtiers for circulation.
Zhou Xuan entered the palace, kowtowed and saluted, and then said: "Your Majesty, I don't know who buried the silver, but I can be sure that the silver is official silver and was pulled out of the treasury."
"So much money, flaunting it on the market, without anyone noticing."
"There are only two possibilities. One is to use the government's silver car; the other is to use the bank to escort it."
"Wei Chen has checked everything."
"The second possibility has been ruled out."
The second knife fell!
Kill the civil servants!
Geng Jiuchou immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I can guarantee with my life that the official's silver cart has not left the government office."
"Don't be impatient, Geng Shangshu. Listen to what I have to say."
Zhou Xuan said: "My bank's banknote system is not like before, where everything needs to be transported by silver car."
"With the development of the ticket office, the bank's bank transport vehicles could no longer be operated, so the bank bank's bank transport vehicles were outsourced to the escort agency."
"There are three escort agencies in Beijing that contract to transport silver trucks."
"So, these three escort agencies should have money transport vehicles."
"But after Weichen visited the site, he discovered an interesting phenomenon. The money transport vehicle of the Escort Agency does not belong to the Escort Agency. To put it simply, the Escort Agency rents a bank transport vehicle."
"Because the bank's business is limited, the cost of building a bank car is too high."
"So the escort agency chose to rent."
"And the object of the lease is precisely the Ministry of Household Affairs!"
"It is said to be a rental, but in fact it is a private use of public equipment, which is a crime!"
Zhou Xuan took out the voucher and handed it over: "This is a confession. Because it was a private transaction, there was no written evidence."
Zhu Qiyu looked at Geng Jiuchou: "Is this possible?"
"I don't know!" Geng Jiuchou looked shocked. The people below actually lent the silver car out?
"go on."
Zhou Xuan kowtowed: "I obey the order."
"This company is called Changfeng Escort Agency."
"It was his family who temporarily borrowed a silver truck from the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"The money was transported to Luo Jun's home without anyone noticing."
Bai Gui suddenly frowned: "Changfeng Escort Agency? But that smuggling agency? Why does it still exist?"
Zhou Xuan was interrupted and said with a wry smile: "I don't know this."
"The backstage of the escort agency is too big, I can't do anything with it."
Zhu Qiyu spoke slowly: "Go on, don't interrupt."
The courtiers were stunned. Who was the person the emperor could not afford to offend?
Everyone looked at Hu Hui and Yu Qian.
The two of them were also speechless. Are we short of that little money?
That is the property of King Lu.
The emperor confiscated the net and waited for Pinglu Fan to use it.
"The silver is official silver, and the money transport vehicle is used by the Ministry of Revenue."
"It was escorted by Changfeng Escort Bureau."
"It can be confirmed that the silver was also shipped from the treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"As for how it works, Wei Chen is still investigating."
"The person who hired Changfeng Escort Agency is a middle-aged man with a Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent."
"But Wei Chen went to investigate this person, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea."
"Currently, Wei Chen has only found these."
After Zhou Xuan finished speaking, he kowtowed.
"Geng Jiuchou, how long has it been since the Ministry of Household Affairs was rectified?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, after the minister took office, everything has been as usual without any rectification." Geng Jiuchou said with cold sweat on his face.
"Hmph, a delicious dish will go rancid after being stored for a day. If it has been stored for a hundred years, can it still be eaten?"
"Yu Qian also said that very little of the grain transferred out by the Ministry of Revenue reaches the destination."
"This kind of thing doesn't happen in a day or two anymore."
"Let's just start from the household department."
Zhu Qiyu looked down at the ministers and said: "It is decreed that from now on, the six departments will conduct self-inspections. Kill those who deserve to be killed and arrest those who deserve to be arrested. No mercy."
"Clean up the six departments for me!"
"Next time, if something bad comes out, if it comes from the six departments, the six ministers will have to touch their own heads. It's not certain where they will be thrown after being chopped off."
"Don't even think about deceiving me, I am not the King of Mobei!"
"My eyes are sharp. If anyone dares to lie to me, I will kick his nine clan heads like a ball!"
"Did you hear that?"
Zhu Qiyu suddenly roared.
The courtiers all knelt on the ground and kowtowed in apology.
The knife that slashed the civil servant fell.
It's not cruel at all, but it's enough to break Wen Chen's muscles and bones.
As for the self-examination, it will naturally cause a stir so that these civil servants cannot get together. I will wait until my child is born, release a group of people, and appease a group of people before giving up.
We also discussed some government affairs.
It was already noon when we went to court.
"Xing Guogong and the old master stay." Zhu Qiyu left these two people behind.
Outside the palace.
Fan Qing didn't sleep all night.
He also interrogated Old Qin and Tian Qing.
This morning, he also interrogated Zhang Zhong and the housekeeper again.
It's basically certain.
The basement discovered in Du Ying's mansion was modeled after the Zhang family's basement and was almost identical.
He was also looking for the Zhang Ketao mentioned by the housekeeper.
"Bai Qian, what do you think?" Fan Qing asked Lu Gao after coming out of the patrol camp.
Bai Qian is the Chinese character for Lu Gao, and the two of them became familiar with each other.
"It hurts to watch."
Lu Gao rolled his eyes and pointed to his wound: "Brother, can you be more anxious? Your Majesty doesn't have much time for us!"
"What's the use of being anxious? Can being anxious find the truth?"
Fan Qing supported Lu Gao: "Bai Qian, the basement of Du Ying's mansion should have been built in the early years of Jingtai. The specific time should be after the Battle of Beijing."
"At that time, there were two basements in Beijing responsible for subcontracting ordnance."
"According to what the housekeeper of the Zhang family said, this small business is nothing more than sesame and mung beans to his family."
Fan Qing analysis.
Lu Gao frowned: "The British government is so powerful that it naturally looks down upon this small amount of money."
"But not necessarily others."
"There may be other courtiers who are interested in this business and want a piece of the pie."
“So this basement was built.”
Lugao analysis.
Fan Qing shook his head: "Have you ever thought that the ordnance contracted by the British government are all high-quality ordnance, but these good things must have flowed into the private sector?"
"What's the meaning?"
Lu Gao raised his eyebrows: "Brother, please hold me up, it hurts!"
Fan Qing was entranced and let go of Lu Gao.
He immediately supported him and said with an apologetic smile: "Have you ever calculated how many years have the British government been subcontracting ordnance?"
"They are all high-quality ordnance. It stands to reason that the civilian population should have been flooded with them long ago."
"Why hasn't it happened until now?"
Fan Qing asked.
Lu Gao replied: "Sell it to Mobei."
"Then why is Mobei still short of iron and weapons?" Fan Qing asked.
This is indeed a paradox.
According to the transfer quota, there is no shortage of arms in the world.
Why is it still missing?
"You mean, the high-quality ordnance out of the subcontract will be resold after being dismantled into junk ordnance?"
Fan Qing snapped his fingers: "My opponent, this explains the existence of the basement under Du Ying's mansion."
"You also said that the basement was built in the early years of Jingtai. Where are the ordnance from before?" Lu Gao asked.
"Not in Beijing."
Fan Qing boldly assumed: "I have sent people to investigate, and there will be news soon."
"I believe that there must be similar basements near Gyeonggi."
"It used to be there, but for some unknown reason, it was moved to the capital."
Fan Qing was also guessing.
"Sure?"
Lu Gao thought this idea was too ridiculous.
Dismantle the good ordnance, turn two crossbows into three, and then sell them?
Or in order to be unique, limit sales, hoard rare items, and slowly bulk them up to avoid plummeting prices of ordnance.
"I hope my thinking is too complicated."
Fan Qing did not elaborate.
But he had come up with an outline.
At this time, an imperial edict came from the palace to arrest all the servants of the British government, including those who left.
Because something happened to Gong Hui.
Although Fan Qing is still deputy commander, his promotion to commander is just around the corner.
He led the team to arrest people.
Many servants of the Zhang Mansion took the opportunity to steal the deeds, take away the British Duke's treasures, and escape.
But most of them still stay in Beijing.
Factory guards and patrol battalions all took action, and most of them were quickly captured.
"Keep your hands and feet clean!"
Cao Jixiang was very dissatisfied after entering the West Factory once.
He is following up on Old Man Qin's clues.
Already have a clue.
This old man Qin also has another identity in Beijing, that of an information broker.
He collects information and resells information.
I saw that there were a large number of civilians in Beijing who had spare money, but they looked skin and bones.
He is very smart and knows that poor people like to eat sweets. If they have a little money, they will spend a little bit to buy some sweets to satisfy their cravings. When they are sick, they will not take medicine and buy sweets.
So he ran a sugar shack and made a fortune.
Then he collected all kinds of information from the mouths of civilians, distributed it, and made money from the information.
At night, Fan Qing came to interrogate Old Qin again.
The patrol battalion did not dare to stop him.
Because Fan Qing carries an imperial edict.
Old Man Qin was tortured over and over again every day. He was completely disabled and there was no useful place on his body.
"I've said it all, don't torture me anymore..." Old Man Qin was really scared.
But what he confessed was really not much.
"Brother, I won't hit you today."
Fan Qing sighed and pointed at the blood-stained torture instrument: "Actually, I am quite disgusted with these. The problem is that for people like you, the skin is too tight and you have to use it."
Old Man Qin sneered twice: "Are you praising a villain?"
"nature."
"I have seen very few people who can survive the torture devices of the patrol camp."
"I admire you for being able to get through this."
When Old Man Qin opened his eyelids, he felt pain everywhere in his body, even when he opened his eyelids,
He couldn't figure out Fan Qing's routine.
"The villain has already told you what you asked. I really don't know the rest..."
Fan Qing glanced at all the torture instruments and laughed twice: "Do you know Tian Qing?"
"do not know."
"I'm from your hometown, both from Zhejiang."
Fan Qing smiled and said: "He has a tough mouth like you, and they are from the same place."
"Brother, are the people there very smart? Are they particularly good at business?"
"The ordnance transferred out of the contract can still scrape off a layer of oil and water, right?"
Old Qin's pupils narrowed.
Fan Qing said to himself that he had entered a blind spot in handling the case.
I hit a wall and can't get out for the time being.
"You are not simple. You bribed more than seventy civilians and tried to incite rebellion."
"If it weren't for His Majesty's wisdom, you would have succeeded."
"I really don't know why you want to make trouble?"
"Even your name is fake."
"I can't find your family in your place of residence."
"Brother, you are so clean. It seems like you were born to do this."
"Cao Ying supervised your interrogation for two days and two nights, but you still didn't confess. It seems that my efforts were in vain."
"I'm not asking for trouble."
Fan Qing asked and answered himself, beckoning to come in for a chat.
"If you don't let him sleep, then he will sleep again when he confesses." Fan Qing said lightly.
Na Fanzi was confused: "What's the use of not sleeping? Sir, why don't you continue to be tortured?"
"What kind of punishment? He's already like this, how many times can he survive the punishment?" Fan Qing scolded.
Don't let me sleep?
Old man Qin is happy himself, what kind of punishment is this?
Fan Qing walked out of the interrogation room and entered the government office.
Cao Jixiang was drinking tea, his face was gloomy, and he was obviously in a bad mood.
Fan Qing went over to see him.
Cao Jixiang didn't pay much attention to him.
"I would like to ask the camp commander, can I give my subordinates a copy of the details of the Zhang family members arrested today?"
"Go find Liu Yu."
Cao Jixiang was too lazy to pay attention to him, feeling depressed and drinking tea one after another.
No drinking during office hours, otherwise he would drink to drown his sorrows.
If Fan Qing didn't have an imperial edict, he would have ignored him.
Fan Qing walked through several courtyards and found Liu Yu. He asked for the list. After reading it, he found that there was someone named Zhang Tao.
"Brother, where is this Zhang Tao being held?" Fan Qing suspected that this Zhang Tao was the missing Zhang Ketao.
Liu Yu asked someone to take Fan Qing to see him.
Looking at Fan Qing's back, Liu Yu was filled with jealousy. This man was really lucky to be so valued by the emperor.
Fan Qing interrogated and found that Zhang Tao was Zhang Ketao.
"Are you sure it's Zhang Ketao?" Fan Qing couldn't believe it.
"Sir, can you spare this villain?" Zhang Ketao heard that the slaves of the Zhang family wanted to kill the clan.
He shrank and looked very frightened.
"As long as you cooperate with me, I will personally go to the palace to report to His Majesty and protect your life." Fan Qing's eyes were burning.
The Zhang family's servants are all very bloody. Why is this Zhang Ketao so soft?
Zhang Ketao didn't dare to hide it.
He said that the basement under Du Ying's mansion was actually built by a businessman from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
The businessman didn't dare touch the British prince's beard, but he still wanted to take advantage of the dividends. Simply buy the ordnance at a high price, dismantle it a second time in the basement, and then put it on the market.
He was very rich. Every time the British government shipped goods, he would buy them at a high price and form a monopoly.
"Your story is not exciting at all."
Fan Qing picked up Zhang Ketao and said, "If you are so good at making up stories, why don't you sing in an opera?"
Push him down next to the brazier.
The flames crackled and Zhang Ketao's head was very close to the brazier.
You can be pushed into the brazier at any time.
"I don't like to use torture instruments, but if you are a lowly person, you have to go through it all again!" Fan Qing threatened him.
But Zhang Ketao's eyes were calm, and the panic in his eyes was all fake.
As expected, none of the servants of the Zhang family are weak.
Zhang Ketao was anxious: "Sir, everything the villain said is the truth!"
"I don't believe it!"
Fan Qing ordered people to torture him.
Zhang Ketao heard a shrill scream, but he still kept his words.
Liu Yu heard that Fan Qing had discovered the big fish and had come over to hear the trial. He asked, "Master Fan, what's wrong?"
Fan Qing greeted him: "Master Liu."
"Think about it, what is the crime of reselling arms?"
"What businessman without a backing would dare to do this in Beijing?"
"Do you really think the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and factory guards are vegetarians?"
The implication is that there are big figures behind these transactions, so the government does not investigate.
Fan Qing sneered: "What really makes me overturn everything he said is: he said that a businessman monopolized all the ordnance produced by the British government."
"Do you think that's possible?"
"The British Duke's Palace, that is the first Duke's Palace in the Ming Dynasty."
"Who can monopolize? Who dares to monopolize?"
"One more thing, this Zhang Ketao is Zhang Fu's godson. How come he knows so much about that businessman?"
"Don't you think it's weird?"
Liu Yu suddenly realized that this statement was full of loopholes.
Zhang Ketao is still arrogant.
Fan Qing suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where is the person who arrested him? Call him over. I have something to ask."
Soon, a camper came in and knelt down.
He recounted the arrest process.
"You said he lives alone in his house?" Fan Qing asked.
The camper nodded.
"No, Zhang Fu's godson is a wealthy master. How can he live without a wife and children?"
Fan Qing chewed over and over again: "A person living alone means that there are other people hiding in his home."
"And his family should have been sent away. Where were they sent to?"
He turned his head, walked over quickly, and grabbed Zhang Ketao's hair: "Tell me, who are you protecting!"
"Who are you trying to protect by exposing your identity?"
Fan Qing's eyes were red. He hadn't slept in three days. He was so tired that he could only sleep for an hour or two. He was very tired.
Pooh!
Zhang Ketao sprayed blood on Fan Qing's face and laughed strangely.
"Hit him!" Liu Yu was furious and quickly handed over a silk handkerchief.
Fan Qing waved his hand to prevent him from being punished: "He was told by my officer that he was protecting another person. He used his own life to protect one person."
"Who is that person?"
A terrifying thought appeared in Fan Qing's mind.
Zhang Fu!
But Zhang Fu was already late.
But Zhang Fu had the experience of faking his own death, so it was difficult to guarantee that he would be the one who was languished.
Liu Yu also thought of it.
"Master Fan, do you think it's possible?" Liu Yu thinks it's impossible.
Arrests must be recorded.
Not one person, but many people were arrested together and then recorded.
There is also a process of discrimination.
The process is rigorous.
After Ling Chi, the identity of the person must also be verified, and the case must be completely closed after repeated verification by the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.
Zhang Fu is dead.
It is impossible to come back from the dead.
Who is Zhang Ketao protecting?
"stop fighting!"
Fan Qing waved Fanzi to stop: "He won't tell. Find a few people to watch him. Don't let him sleep. As long as he closes his eyes, we will stab him with an awl."
He had to figure out who Zhang Ketao was protecting and how much he knew.
After Zhou Xuan left the palace.
Arrive at Prince Qing’s Mansion.
The emperor ordered him to find out the cause of Mrs. Tang's death.
Prince Qing's family was in a miserable state. Both Prince Qing and his son were seriously injured in bed. Princess Qing didn't seem too smart and kept putting suspicion on Princess Anhua.
After just a few words of conversation, Zhou Xuan already knew what was going on.
The inspection results are made.
Wu Zuo did not dare to offend the concubine. He only made a cursory observation of her shape, but still concluded that Concubine Tang died abnormally.
But it is difficult for Dali Temple to intervene in this kind of royal case, and it is difficult to investigate.
He wrote a rough analysis into a memorial and sent it to the palace to ask the emperor for help.
"Are you bothering me with this little thing?"
Zhu Qiyu is having a secret conversation with Yu Qian and Hu Xi.
After taking a look, he was about to put it down when he discovered that Zhou Xuan was an interesting person. He actually said that the murder of Princess Tang could bring down Qing Fan.
"Let Cao Jixiang go."
Send Feng Xiao away and close the palace door again.
There was darkness in the newly built Yangxin Hall, and Zhu Qiyu said seriously: "Yu Qian, Hu Hui, can my child be born?"
Yu Qian and Hu Xi immediately knelt on the ground: "I would rather die than let Long Zi suffer!"
"Four children, there must be a boy."
"I have a wife."
"I don't want him to inherit the throne, I just hope that he will be born safely, grow up healthy, and give me Zhu Qiyu's lineage to flourish."
The emperor wanted a guarantee.
"Eight years ago, a humble minister helped His Majesty ascend to the throne!"
"Eight years later, I am willing to support His Majesty Long Zi in the crown prince position!"
"Yu Qian, a humble minister, swears to be loyal to His Majesty to the death!"
"Until death do us part!"
Yu Qian kowtowed to the ground.
If it were Yu Qian in the past, he would not have said such disgusting words.
"Although I am old, I will protect the Dragon King for as long as I am alive. If I am still alive, I will help the Dragon King to ascend to the throne of the crown prince. In the future, I will help the Prince to ascend the throne and inherit the throne!"
Hu Bin bowed and bowed.
"real?"
A smile appeared on Zhu Qiyu's face: "Can you really think so?"
"I have killed many people. There are many more people who hate me than those who are grateful to me."
"It's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows."
"I'm very worried that some people will do things that are outrageous in the world."
"Kill Longzi and make me extinct!"
"My children are not allowed to inherit the throne!"
"I don't dare to sleep!"
The emperor is revealing his heart.
But Hu Hui and Yu Qian didn't want to hear it.
This is holding them hostage.
Once Long Zi is in trouble, Yu Qian and Hu Hui have to come to see him with their heads raised.
"We are willing to stand in front of His Majesty forever!" Yu Qian kowtowed.
"As long as I live, I will stand by His Majesty's side. I will never let anyone with intentions get close to Your Majesty! Harm Long Zi!" Hu Hui expressed his loyalty.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "If I want to take back my honorary minister's certificate, will they rebel?"
Do you know if you still charge it?
The generals who participated in the Tumu Fort survival are now the mainstays of the court, such as Ren Li, Cao Yi, etc.
The dead heirs are also people you value, and they have all been released to guard the place.
If you take back the world certificate, who would be willing to do so?
"Weichen will collect it personally!"
Yu Qian gritted his teeth and said: "Whoever dares to rebel will be destroyed overnight!"
"Tell them that if they make great contributions, they will naturally be given the World Voucher." Zhu Qiyu received the World Voucher, which was a shock.
This kind of intimidation cannot be defeated yet.
It is difficult to control this degree.
Zhu Qiyu was not sure, so he asked Yu Qian to control this degree.
To put it simply, let Yu Qian collect it. If the minister Xun makes a big fuss and forces Zhu Qiyu into a corner, he will push Yu Qian out and kill him.
Of course, not all honorary ministers’ certificates have been recovered.
Just enough shock.
"I obey the decree!" Could Yu Qian not know the emperor's thoughts?
The emperor had to light a fire to feel at ease.
"Hu Ming!"
Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Hui: "If I ask the six ministries to self-examine, will it paralyze the government and make it impossible for me to end it?"
Of course!
Do you think that with the imperial power in hand, you can do whatever you want?
Even Emperor Taizu couldn't do it.
However, Hu Hui knew that the emperor did not really want to abandon civil servants, but wanted to intimidate and make people obey.
"I promise that the government will not be disrupted!"
What else could Hu Ming do? Just hold him down and comfort him.
He'll take the blame.
"good!"
"With your two guarantees, I can rest easy!"
A smile appeared on Zhu Qiyu's face: "Everyone, get up."
He glanced outside the hall.
Feng Xiao personally came in holding a tray with two paintings.
"I found it from the merchant's home and gave it to you. Go back home and watch it."
Yu Qiangang was about to refuse.
"I have made a small fortune. I can afford some rewards, so just keep them." What Zhu Qiyu made was not a small fortune.
It's been a day and a night, and the eunuch hasn't finished counting the money.
There are just too many.
Merchants from all over the world are concentrated in the capital.
After robbing for a day and a night, how much can we robbing?
"You are also a father."
"I plan for my child, so it is inevitable."
"You should understand me."
Zhu Qiyu revealed his heart.
Yu Qian and Hu Chong kowtowed to the ground: "Your Majesty's kindness is felt by all of you!"
"My dear friends, go back and rest. You are all exhausted. Go ahead." Zhu Qiyu smiled.
Send Yu Qian away.
"Go to Jingyang Palace, I'll go see Mrs. Lin, oh, Concubine Jing."
The weather outside was nice, so Zhu Qiyu went for a walk.
When Yu Qian leaves the palace, he is going to take back his world certificate.
Let’s go to Zhu Yi’s house first.
Pick the big ones to kill first.
Prince Qing's Mansion.
Cao Jixiang arrived late.
He was depressed, and the palace had not yet issued an imperial edict to reward him, which showed that the emperor was very dissatisfied with the patrol camp.
He also had a hard time saying that when he first set up the patrol camp, all the people he recruited were ruffians, and there were no good people. Today, it was inevitable that most of them would be arrested by the West Factory.
It wasn't just the emperor who put pressure on him.
The people below also have strong opinions, thinking that the palace is too mean.
Hearing the rumors, he immediately killed several people and hung their heads at the door of the government office to shock people.
Is the emperor worthy of your discussion? Don’t even want to live?
But the opinions below were very strong, and he knew it well.
Thunder, rain and dew are all your grace.
Entered Prince Qing's Mansion.
Cao Jixiang looked calm. Zhou Xuan saluted him, but he did not return the salute. After entering the house, he sat on the main seat.
Liu was afraid of the patrol camp.
"Where is the prince?" Cao Jixiang asked coldly.
"Hui, Hui, sir, the prince is ill..." Mrs. Liu unconsciously became a head shorter, which was evident from her title.
And the arrogance when facing Zhou Xuan is simply the same as the sky and the earth.
"Call out." Cao Jixiang said.
"Sir, the prince is seriously injured and is bedridden. He cannot see you in person." Mr. Liu stammered and spoke with difficulty.
"Can't you hear what I'm saying? Call me out!" Cao Jixiang emphasized.
Liu was scared and didn't speak.
When Zhou Xuan saw Cao Jixiang's behavior, he was dissatisfied and hesitated to speak.
"Go and bring Prince Qing out." Cao Jixiang said to Shi Chong.
Tang Xu was sent to Xichang Prison.
The Tang family can no longer be trusted for the time being.
He simply promoted Shi Chong.
Mrs. Liu immediately blocked Shi Chong's steps, but Shi Chong was a fool and reached out to touch Ms. Liu, who was so shocked that Ms. Liu retreated in fear.
Shi Chong laughed loudly and slapped Mr. Liu on the buttocks.
"How dare you! How dare you insult the princess!" Ms. Liu looked horrified.
Shi Chong turned around and grinned: "I am a traitor. Your Majesty has not killed me for a day, but I act like this. What can you do?"
Mrs. Liu was stunned and looked at Cao Jixiang: "He, he dares to insult the princess, don't you care?"
Cao Jixiang didn't bother to look at her.
Mrs. Liu cried to Zhou Xuan, but Zhou Xuan had no choice but to say that he would handle the matter impartially.
While crying, Shi Chong had already entered the inner courtyard.
Prince Qing's Mansion is very small.
There were servants who blocked him on the way, but Shi Chong dealt with him with three punches and two kicks, and he successfully entered the inner courtyard.
Pushing open the door, he saw Prince Qing lying on the cave, very miserable.
He turned around and went to another room and saw Zhu Suokan.
Zhu Suokan was dying.
But Shi Chong roughly dragged Zhu Suokan out of bed and directly into the front hall.
Mrs. Liu rushed over and beat Shi Chong to protect her son.
But Shi Chong only took advantage of her.
"Nonsense, don't let go!"
Zhou Xuan really couldn't bear it anymore.
This patrolling camp is so lawless that even the princess dares to blaspheme?
"Sir, why don't you come first? I won't mind if you use it." Shi Chong smiled strangely at him.
"roll!"
Zhou Xuan scolded him for being an insult to gentlemen, and yelled at Cao Jixiang: "Director Cao Ying, are you going to control your subordinates like this? I will definitely go to the palace and file a complaint against you!"
Cao Jixiang didn't look at him and waved his hand, asking Shi Chong to step back.
Shi Chong's thoughts were still unfinished.
Mrs. Liu threw herself on the ground and cried non-stop.
"Don't cry!" Cao Jixiang said coldly.
Mrs. Liu actually shuddered and really closed her mouth, not daring to cry.
"I ask you, how did Mrs. Tang die?" Cao Jixiang asked directly.
"It was that bitch who killed me..." Ms. Liu told the story of the fabrication.
But he was interrupted by Cao Jixiang: "I have no time to listen to lies, tell the truth."
"This is the truth!" Mrs. Liu was anxious.
Cao Jixiang gave Shi Chong a look.
Shi Chong kissed Liu in the air.
Mrs. Liu was so frightened that she backed away and kept retreating on the ground: "Don't come over. If you dare to come over, I will go to the palace to sue you!"
"A villain's life is cheap and worthless."
"I can enjoy the princess once, and it's worth it even if the villain dies!"
Shi Chong walked forward step by step: "The villain is a prisoner on death row. He has rebelled. If he can have sex with the princess before his death, he will reach the pinnacle of his life!"
"No, no!" Ms. Liu screamed, her voice distorted.
"Resist, the more you resist, the more excited I will be!"
Shi Chong laughed.
"Cao Jixiang, if you dare to let me humiliate you, His Majesty will definitely kill you!"
Mrs. Liu kept retreating, but she leaned against the wall and had no way to retreat.
Cao Jixiang smiled: "If Princess Zhonglie commits suicide after this incident, there will be no investigation."
"What's more, even if His Majesty asks for an investigation, he will ask the factory guards to investigate."
"If we examine ourselves, what can we find?"
Liu's color changed.
I can only turn to Zhou Xuan for help: "Master Zhou, save me, save me!"
Zhou Xuan shook her head and sighed, how else could she call this woman stupid.
Shi Chong is sick. Is he crazy if he offends you, the imperial concubine of Prince Qing?
If you are a beautiful person, Shi Chong is willing to act impulsively and sacrifice his life for once, that's fine. The problem is that you are average-looking and over fifty years old, who will do anything to you!
Can you use your brain?
"As long as you tell the truth, I will keep you safe."
Zhou Xuan cooperates with the acting, and he knows his purpose very well.
"I said, I said...ah? I won't say, I won't say!"
Mrs. Liu seemed to be crazy, swaying from side to side.
"Ah!" Suddenly, Zhu Suokan screamed.
Because Shi Chong stepped on him.
Although he clearly heard Zhu Suokan's screams, Shi Chong stepped over him as if nothing happened.
"Son!" Ms. Liu wanted to protect her son.
But he was afraid of Shi Chong and didn't dare to go there.
The whole person is about to collapse.
"Tell the truth, I will keep your whole family safe." Zhou Xuan came sideways and blocked Shi Chong.
As expected, Shi Chong didn't move forward.
"Can you really protect my whole family?" Ms. Liu cried.
"Of course I can." Zhou Xuan felt a little pity for this fool.
"If I kill my mother-in-law, can you keep my family?"
Mrs. Liu blew herself up. She didn’t know that she was asking Zhou Xuan.
"Tell me the truth about how you murdered Mrs. Tang." Zhou Xuan's tone became cold and her expression changed.
"What murder? What does it have to do with me?" Ms. Liu immediately recanted her confession.
But Zhou Xuan stepped aside and let Shi Chong out, and Shi Chong walked forward.
Kneel down in front of her.
That dirty hand is here!
"I said!"
Mrs. Liu cried loudly: "I killed my mother-in-law!"
"But it's not my fault. It was the father-in-law in the palace who signaled me."
"Let me kill my mother-in-law so that I can save my prince."
She told the whole story why Xu Bin hinted at her.
"Nonsense!"
Cao Jixiang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted and walked over quickly.
"It's true, it's all true. That father-in-law's name is..."
Snapped!
Shi Chong slapped her loudly, swollen Mrs. Liu's face.
Another backhand hit Liu's whole face into a pig's head.
"Say it again?" Cao Jixiang came over and looked down at Ms. Liu.
Liu collapsed and cried.
This was a trap, and she still doesn't understand it.
Xu Bin hinted at you, but you can't do it!
Even more so if you do it, you can’t spit Xu Bin out!
Zhou Xuan feels a little sorry for this idiot, and she still doesn't know.
Cao Jixiang looked at Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan bowed to express his understanding.
Mrs. Liu told everything, including the process of poisoning Mrs. Tang.
Cao Jixiang did not stop, walked out of the door, and suddenly said: "Master Zhou, you should know how to deal with it."
The patrol battalion came and it was solved simply.
This is something Dali Temple cannot do.
Zhou Xuan bowed and said, "Excuse me, the camp governor, I'm thinking of you. I understand."
Cao Jixiang led his people out of Prince Qing's Mansion.
Looking back, Qing Fan soon ceased to exist.
Poisoning your mother-in-law is a great act of unfilial piety!
Zhu Qiyu was still in Jingyang Palace and heard Zhou Xuan's memorial: "Huh, this Liu family is quite sinister."
"Go, send this chapter to Zongren's Mansion, and let the kings discuss, how to punish it."
"Emperor, this?" Feng Xiao wondered why the emperor did not go directly.
"Get it."
Why dirty your hand?
The kings will naturally help cut off Qingfan.
He looked outside the palace, and Yu Qian should start.
Eight years have passed, is the truth of civil fortress, is it still important?
As long as you can use it, then it is right. You can't use it for me.
Should you learn to stand in line?
Yu Qian, I am helping you.
Help you gather people's hearts and become the mountains of the honorary ministers.
