Not to mention that the King of Han was sneaky and planned to lure the wolf into the house.
In the capital, rumors of the Tatar invasion had already spread. Even the ordinary people who occasionally came to the city to buy supplies began to become worried under the rumors.
After all, when the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty ruled the Central Plains decades ago, the people in the Central Plains had already suffered a lot due to their innate cruelty...
Now, although the Meng Yuan Dynasty has long been destroyed, the remaining Tatars can only show off their evil in the northern grasslands, but what if the court cannot resist these foreign tribes?
Will these Tatars be allowed to invade the Central Plains again and repeat the old events of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty?
For a time, not only rumors spread in the capital, but also the entire north was under a dark cloud, and the people were panicked and uneasy.
"boom!"
Along with a dull sound, Yang Rong, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty cabinet, shouted angrily:
"Cui, how did you become the governor of Shuntian Prefecture!"
"You can't even suppress the rumors in the capital market!"
The Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, who was scolded by Yang Rong, changed his expression slightly, but then he bent down to pick up the fold and said slowly:
"Master Chief Assistant, the lower officials are just discussing matters. Now, not only on the ground in the capital, but also within the jurisdiction of the entire Shuntian Prefecture, there are rumors that the Tatar troops are about to go south, and it is said with certainty."
"The law does not punish everyone. I can't just drag everyone back to jail. After all, it's hard to stop Youyou's mouth."
Seeing him looking so lazy, Yang Rong suddenly became furious!
"As the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, can't you even handle this little thing? Then what use does the court want from you!"
Wang Zhi, the Minister of Civil Service, frowned slightly, and a person behind him immediately stepped out and held his hand:
"Your Majesty, your words are wrong!"
"Cui Fuyin also said just now that the law does not punish the public. If we arrest ten today and twenty more tomorrow, can we stop the people's mouths and suspicions?"
"It is only right that we should confirm this matter quickly and then negotiate a solution!"
"What was agreed upon?"
Yang Rong glared angrily, "Don't think I don't know the little Jiujiu in your hearts!"
Do you want to take this opportunity to suppress the reputation of His Highness the Crown Prince?
Do you want to use the Tatar invasion to reduce the strength of His Highness the Crown Prince?
Don't even think about it!
"The Tatar invasion was just a secret report from the front, which was deliberately leaked by some people. The rumors were misleading and disturbing the people!"
"I think it's not the rumors that are scary, it's the people who deliberately cause trouble that are scary!"
Yang Rong looked around the audience with sharp eyes, an angry look on his face, and said angrily:
"If I find out who dares to do such a thing, I won't let you go easy!"
A group of officials in the meeting hall all had expressionless faces and did not respond.
Now that the situation is in front of us, it is useless for you as the chief minister to criticize. It is only right to see how you solve it.
"Haha." Yang Rong was about to continue to get angry, but was interrupted by Zhu Gaojie, who was in the middle, waving his hand.
"It's quite interesting to see this in isolation."
He narrowed his eyes and glanced around before saying calmly:
"Shen Qingyu."
Shen Qingyu immediately came out of the queue and responded loudly:
"The humble duty has arrived!"
Zhu Gaojie glanced at him and spoke slowly:
"Do you know why I asked you to take the position today?"
According to common sense, Shen Qingyu, as the commander of the Jinyi Guards, would not participate in such government affairs, but today was an exception.
Shen Qingyu was stunned for a moment. This was because he had been notified suddenly before, so he hurried over, and he suddenly felt a little confused.
Your Highness, you didn’t give me any instructions in advance...
However, he reacted very quickly and immediately said:
"I don't know what my humble position is, but please give me your orders, His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Zhu Gaojie nodded with satisfaction, but his expression did not change. Instead, he said lightly:
"Rumors are spreading all over the capital now, and the people are uneasy. Since Shuntian Fuyin says that he is beyond his capabilities, then you, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, go and help him."
"I don't care what the law is, and I don't care what you say. It doesn't matter what means you use. As long as you finish the matter within seven days, put an end to the rumors and stabilize the people's hearts."
"My Ming Dynasty has even driven away Meng Yuan. Are we still afraid of a Tatar who has lost his family?"
"Shen Qingyu, do you understand?"
Shen Qingyu suddenly became excited and said loudly:
"Reporting to Your Highness, I will definitely handle this matter!"
Zhu Gaojie nodded, looked at Xia Rong again, and signaled him to continue the discussion.
Everyone else in the hall was immediately dumbfounded.
This, this, His Highness the Crown Prince has untied the mad dog Jin Yiwei and released him!
As we all know, Jin Yiwei is not a good man and a believer, and his arrest and torture methods are countless times more brutal than those of Yamen arrests and others!
No matter what your life background is, as long as you fall into the hands of Jin Yiwei, you will probably not get any good results!
Cui Fuyin suddenly became anxious. He was not willing to let Jin Yiwei interfere in the capital market. If that happened, wouldn't his Shuntian Mansion be in trouble?
How can the government servants and police officers compare with the Jin Yiwei gang of wolf-like thugs?
If it happens to me at that time, do you still want this official uniform?
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I..."
"Okay," Zhu Gaojie waved his hand impatiently, interrupting his words, his face as dark as water:
"Didn't you say that you can't solve the rumors outside?"
"Then I'll send someone to help you!"
"Let this matter go, there is no need to mention it again!"
Seeing Zhu Gaojie's strong stance, Cui Fuyin was suddenly shocked. Could this be aimed at him and others?
He quietly looked towards Wang Zhi with his eyes, only to find that the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Personnel had no expression on his face, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart. His Highness, the Crown Prince, was very ruthless in his methods, so don't get burned yourself...
While he was thinking about how to get rid of the rumors, he suddenly heard Zhu Gaojie say:
"Nowadays, the Tatar invasion is spreading like wildfire. I heard that not only Shuntian Prefecture, but also Xuanfu, Baoding Prefecture, and even Hejian Prefecture know about it."
"What do you want to do?"
Zhu Gaojie looked at everyone in the hall, strengthened his tone, and said coldly:
"This is because you think the Ming Dynasty is living an uneasy life, and you want to put some eye drops on the Ming Dynasty and stage a good show of Tatar counterattacks in the Central Plains, right?"
He slapped the armrest of the chair hard, making a heavy muffled sound:
"I am very unhappy in my heart!"
"My father is seriously ill, and the south is not peaceful. We should have worked together to stabilize the situation in the north."
"It's good now. A mere Tatar has already caused turmoil in the entire north before they even attack!"
"Forget it, since you are so afraid of the Tatars, let's discuss how to go out and how to fight today!"
Zhu Gaojie looked around at everyone with firm eyes and a deep tone:
"I will destroy the Tatars and put an end to some people's desire to draw chestnuts from the fire!"
