When Zhu Youxiao mentioned the Confucius family, he did not refer to Yan Shenggong's mansion.
Because Zhu Youxiao had no intention of respecting the Kong family and wanted to praise it as a noble family.
At the same time, he also expressed his attitude to Wei Zhongxian, letting Wei Zhongxian know what kind of news he, the emperor, wanted about the Kong family.
After all, Zhu Youxiao had already decided to find an opportunity to destroy the shameless Qufu Kong family in the future.
"Your Majesty wants me to collect evidence of the Kong family's crimes. If there is no evidence of the Kong family's crimes, I will have to make up some. But I guess it won't be so troublesome. It's impossible for these noble families to be guilty of beheadings! Really? If there is a strict investigation, there will be plenty of reasons to confiscate homes and exterminate clans.”
Wei Zhongxian started to curse.
"Ye Xianggao wrote a letter to Fang Congzhe, but it was able to reach the hands of the chief minister of the cabinet through the cabinet. It can be seen that although this man lives in the countryside, he still has great influence in the court. Recently, Dongchang can be found Has anything happened to him?"
At this time, Zhu Youxiao continued to ask about Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian became a little busy and nervous, and replied: "Returning to the emperor, I am incompetent. Dongchang has not found out what Ye Xianggao has done for a while. In my opinion, this Ye Xianggao is different from many people. After returning to his hometown, he never took the initiative to make friends with officials. Even if local Fujian officials wanted to see him, he would refuse. Only some scholars would take the initiative to visit him in the name of studying. However, he did not do anything wrong in the village and was quite restrained. clansman.”
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded and sneered: "I knew it! You Dongchang can't find out anything about him. People like him will not be easily caught, otherwise Fang Congzhe will The letter he wrote was not a greeting to the body, but a direct threat. For those who didn’t know, I thought Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe were close friends. It was only because Fang Congzhe took the initiative to show me the letter that I understood. Otherwise, If I had found out through you, I would have thought that Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe were secretly colluding."
"What the Emperor said is that Ye Xianggao is a seasoned man. He will not use conspiracy against others, but he can make those who love conspiracy listen to him. Although this servant did not find out anything about Ye Xianggao, but According to the report from Dongchang, the servant knows that in the entire Shilin, seven out of ten people in the pavilion think that Ye Xianggao is a good minister in the world, and the Ming Dynasty cannot be revived without him. Not only the Shilin, but also many military generals think so."
Wei Zhongxian started talking.
Zhu Youxiao frowned and asked again: "How did he react when he found out that I had killed Qian Qianyi and others, and that I had previously called for Fu Fu in Nanzhili?"
"Weeping loudly! And he knelt down and cried, saying that Your Majesty, you will cause chaos in the world. He looked very sad and heartbroken."
Wei Zhongxian came back.
Zhu Youxiao just nodded and said nothing.
Zhu Youxiao knew that the Ming Emperor was prone to falling into the water, and not just into the water. Anyway, accidents often occurred in the harem.
For example, during the Jiajing Dynasty, a palace maid almost strangled the emperor.
All these made Zhu Youxiao have to be more careful about the safety of the harem.
Because of Fang Congzhe's reminder, Zhu Youxiao also had some doubts about the layout of Ye Xianggao, a man who, although he was far away, could make people feel his influence all the time, was planning in his harem.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao now has to pay more attention to Ye Xianggao.
But now Zhu Youxiao can only bury this suspicion in his heart.
Because people who dare to take action in his harem now are definitely not that easy to deal with.
If you are too obvious, you will only make the other party more careful, making it more difficult to catch the other party's flaws.
Of course, Zhu Youxiao believes what Fang Congzhe said, even if there are some outside political influencers in his harem, his life will not be endangered at present.
First of all, it's simply too risky.
After all, the entire harem is now under very strict control by Zhu Youxiao. Neichang and Dongchang supervise each other, Yulinwei and Jinyiwei check and balance each other. All concubines are restricted to the area within the Qianqing Gate, and cannot go to Qianqing Palace at will. Come, so it is very difficult to assassinate yourself as the emperor.
Secondly, if you want to get rid of yourself, you must first find someone who can replace you as the emperor. Otherwise, the world will really be in chaos, which will be of no benefit to anyone.
And Zhu Youjian of Chongzhen has been disciplined by Zhu Youxiao himself. Others have no chance to attack again, and his prince has not yet appeared.
Therefore, if someone really wants to attack the people around Zhu Youxiao, they will not be able to choose a good opportunity for a while.
"I don't know what Ye Xianggao's reaction was after receiving Fang Congzhe's reply."
Zhu Youxiao murmured in his heart.
…
Ye Xianggao did receive Fang Congzhe's letter here.
"What kind of ecstasy soup did Fang Daxing get fed to him? He is so obsessed with it!"
Ye Xianggao directly tore up Fang Congzhe's reply to him, after reading Fang Congzhe's reply saying that he would continue to serve the court for twenty years.
Because Ye Xianggao understood that Fang Congzhe meant to continue to support the emperor's reforms and continue to use the knife against the powerful gentry.
Ye Xianggao couldn't tell the emperor directly, so he could only vent his anger on Fang Congzhe.
For a moment, Ye Xianggao became more and more angry as he thought about it, and actually spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Mr. Ge!"
Ye Chuchun hurriedly supported him.
Ye Xianggao waved his hand, and with the help of Ye Chuchun, he sat back on the chair, and then said: "Accept your fate!"
After hearing this, Ye Chuchun pursed his lips and said: "But if you accept it like this, when will it be the end? Now Bi Ziyan has come out. He and Wang Yingjiao and others want to rebuild the city of Tianjin, and also rebuild the official system, so that More than 300,000 refugees have survived and have to settle in the capital. As a result, the people of the south will have to support more people of the north!"
"In addition, the students have just received news that something happened recently. Kong Wenzheng, Huang Daozhou, and Zhan Jiasheng were executed by people from Dongchang because their slaves reported them for slandering the emperor! And this slave is The informants of Dongchang, now the people of Dongchang are really pervasive. Relying on the support of imperial power behind them, they use various means to bribe the slaves of wealthy families and recruit retired soldiers with huge sums of money. Now Dongchang also uses cannons and firearms to handle cases, and the West It’s the same as factory taxes. This is all because the internal funds are now flowing in a lot of money, which makes these emperor’s hawks and dogs become more powerful and more ferocious, and we people will be under the emperor’s surveillance all the time.”
Ye Chuchun whispered in Ye Xianggao's ear.
After hearing this, Ye Xianggao breathed rapidly and said sadly: "This, this!"
Then, Ye Xianggao suddenly slapped the back of the chair and sighed: "Forget it! This is all the sin you deserve, let's wait for the future!"
"What future is Mr. Ge talking about?"
Ye Chuchun asked.
"Don't say it! Don't say it!"
Ye Xianggao glanced at him, and after thinking about it, he finally chose not to tell Ye Xianggao what he had done.
Ye Chuchun was a little disappointed, but quickly covered it up.
At this time, Ye Chengxue, the son of Ye Xianggao, hurriedly ran in: "Master! Southwest is rebelling!"
"The Southwest is rebelling?!"
After hearing this, Ye Xianggao stood up quickly and asked.
Ye Chengxue nodded: "Sichuan Yongning Xuanfu Si She Chongming has launched troops to attack Chongqing, but Chongqing failed. Later he attacked Zunyi, Naxi, Changning, Yongchuan, Rongchang, Longchang, Bishan, captured Hezhou, Jiangjin, and Xingwen , Neijiang, Xindu, Anyue, threatening to take Chengdu directly."
"The world will be in chaos!"
Ye Chuchun said excitedly.
Ye Xianggao glanced at him and said nothing.
At this time, Ye Chengxue continued: "There are officials over there who have sent someone to send a message urgently. They want to ask you about countermeasures and whether it is necessary to secretly make the She Department more troublesome?"
Ye Xianggao shook his head: "No! Let them cooperate with the strategy sent by the imperial court to suppress the thieves, and don't act recklessly! They must have the country in mind, and cannot ignore the safety of the world just because they are dissatisfied with some treacherous ministers!"
"Then my son will let people reply like this."
Ye Chengxue replied.
However, Ye Xianggao continued to talk at this time: "In any case, something happened in the southwest this time, which can still explain a lot of problems. Some people in the DPRK acted against the will, so that the internal strife intensified and people's minds changed. This southwest uprising may It's just the beginning. Mongolia, Japanese pirates, even Westerners, Annan, etc. may also be dishonest. Maybe some vassal kings will also start to be dishonest. The Ming Dynasty will not be far away! I hope the court can rein in the situation in time and don't really have to wait for the situation. It’s getting out of hand, I have a hunch that this incident in the southwest will get bigger and bigger in the future!”
Ye Chengxue understood after hearing this.
Ye Chuchun thought for a while and said directly: "It's better to make a big fuss! The bigger the fuss, the more opportunities we have to make Thief Fang step down!"
…
"The Southwest is rebelling?!"
This morning, Zhu Youxiao learned the news from Wang Chengen.
