I am the king of the dead

Chapter 12 Hanging!
Empress Dowager Sun's angry face changed, such a bold dog slave, how dare to say such a thing!

She was about to let someone take Xing'an, but was pulled by Qian's arm. Empress Dowager Sun was panting, but she did not order to take Xing'an.

On the Golden Brick Square, all the Jinyiwei are standing, and these Jinyiwei are obviously listening to Xing'an's orders.

The commander of Jinyiwei, Ma Shun, was killed by the Dangdian, and the current commander, Lu Zhong, chose to stand in line and stood on the side of King Yu.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, Queen, the ministers checked the inside and outside of the palace overnight. At present, only the Cining Palace and Kunning Palace have not been checked. I also ask the Queen Mother and Queen to forgive their sins." Xing'an bowed his head again, and his etiquette could not be faulted, but he did thing, but it's really cruel.

Looking through the Queen Mother's palace, what kind of absurdity is this?
But Xing'an received an order to clean the palace, and the queen dowager and the queen's bedroom were naturally within the scope of the palace.

"You!" Empress Dowager Sun's face changed suddenly, she was furious to the extreme, flicked her sleeves violently, and left Fengtian Palace.

Zhu Qiyu learned through Cheng Jing, the eunuch of the internal official supervisor, that it turned out that the early court of the Ming Dynasty did not go to court every day.

To be precise, in the period of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, there were not only morning dynasties, but also noon dynasties and evening dynasties every day.

When Zhu Gaochi was the Renzong Dynasty, the noon and evening dynasties were cancelled, and then when the famous "cricket" emperor Zhu Zhanji, that is, the first emperor, the early dynasties became three-day dynasties.

In Zhu Qizhen's time, he didn't go to court every five days or even a month, and when he went to court completely depended on Zhu Qizhen's mood.

Zhu Qiyu didn't go to the palace. He regarded the study of Prince Yu's mansion as a place to deal with official documents.

"His Royal Highness, the minister is back." Xing'an's eyes were bloodshot, and he handed over the ledger to his Highness King Yu.

There have long been rumors that Guo Jing and the eunuchs who went to various towns to guard the eunuchs smuggled to the Oirat and the Yuan descendants, but where did the money go for such a big deal and profit?
The majority belonged to Zhu Qizhen.

When Zhu Qiyu looked at the ledger, his scalp felt numb, and his whole body felt agitated.

Smuggling and selling firearms and steel feathers will eventually turn into arrows and firearms aimed at Daming!

How can the king of a country take the lead in such a thing as a foreign country!
He has exhausted his imagination to imagine Zhu Qizhen's lower limit, but this person is still far beyond Zhu Qiyu's expectations.

It is not uncommon for monarchs and ministers to conspire to make money. For example, Qianlong and Heshen jointly developed a method of negotiating crime and blackmailing courtiers from time to time.

The courtiers were blackmailed, and naturally they were apportioned layer by layer, which accelerated the corruption of officials in the Qing court, and eventually led to corruption in the Qing court since Qianlong, and it will never end.

Zhu Qizhen loves money, but you can go on a fleet sailing!Isn't it fragrant to buy low and sell high at both ends?Do you have to pick up this money?
Zhu Qiyu closed the ledger with a bang, his head hurting with anger.

Tiqi went out of Beijing to catch Qi very quickly. One of the people on the list that Yu Qian pulled out was thrown into the Beizhen Fusi within five days.

There are 16 people, including eunuchs, generals, civil servants, and relatives.

As the case progressed, a group of Minggongs were also added to the list, totaling about 53 people, and thousands of people were exiled in Qiongzhou, Lingnan.

Zhu Qiyu fulfilled his promise and personally imprisoned. He sat on the top of the Meridian Gate and looked at the execution ground in front of the Meridian Gate.

The matter of today's beheading was spread by the yamen of Shuntian Prefecture yesterday, and there were many people surrounding the execution ground at this time.

Zhu Qiyu was very sure that those were ordinary people, because most of them were worn out, and their shoes were mainly straw sandals.

"Where's Yu Qian?" Zhu Qiyu looked at the sun, and before three o'clock noon, he turned his head and asked Xing'an, Yu Qian was not there on such an important occasion.

Xing'an bowed his head and said, "Yu Shangshu went to Tongzhou to transport grain, and he personally monitored it, but Yu Shangshu offended many people."

Zhu Qiyu frowned, why did he offend people when the food arrived in Beijing?
Aren't those grains all the taxes of the imperial court?
From Tongzhou to the capital, the distance of fifty miles is full, and is it still used for Qian to go out in person?
"Jin Shangshu." Zhu Qiyu turned his head and asked Jin Lian, the minister of households, who asked his inner doubts.

Jin Lian's face was filled with embarrassment, and he briefly explained the doorway.

He organized the language, bowed his head and said, "This Grand Canal runs from south to north and ends at Tongzhou. There should have been a river called Tonghui River from Tongzhou to the capital, but this river is blocked."

"Yu Shangshu led people to dredge the river. When the Tonghui River is connected, the grain will enter Beijing. If the Tonghui River is blocked, the 800 million shi of grain is not as simple as burning it to the fire as the old minister said."

Zhu Qiyu also understood a bit after hearing it. The reason behind the blockage of the Tonghui River is heartwarming!
He felt a little dry, turned his head and said, "Xing'an, you sent someone to quickly tell Yu Shangshu that you must ensure that food is brought into Beijing. Anyone who obstructs it, no matter who it is, will not be forgiven."

The more he thought about it, the more fire in his heart, what was the price of rice in the capital?One stone of grain costs four taels of silver. How ridiculous is this price?One cent of silver is about eighteen copper plates, which can cut a pound of pork.

One tael of silver is equal to ten cents equal to one hundred percent of silver. You can buy [-] catties of pork, and forty taels of silver can buy [-] catties of pork.

One stone of grain is about 180 jin in Tiehu Pingman.

Pork is far from enough to eat, there is no doubt, only Mi Liang can make Daming fight this battle to defend the capital.

The price of grain in Tongzhou is six cents per stone.

Such a big price difference in the middle is business, and it is obvious that someone controls this business.

There was only less than ten days' worth of food left in the capital, and the Tongzhou warehouse was urgently needed to enter the capital, but someone prevented Yu Qian from transporting the food, and it seemed that more than one person was offended.

"This... Your Highness, I am afraid..." Xing'an's words flickered and whispered, "Your Highness, Huangzhuang also has a share in this business."

Xing'an just turned the palace into a mess, and naturally found some accounts. He picked some key points and reported them.

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were round, and the industry directly operated by the royal family was called Huangzhuang.

That is to say, today's Jingtong grain price difference is profitable. Huangzhuang takes the lead, Xunqi follows, and uses the giants as white gloves for purposeful economic activities.

But the money, most of the money, was not taken away by Huangzhuang, but by honorable relatives, Duke Ming, and giants.

The typical squire's money is returned in full, and the common people's money is divided into three and seven business!
"Among them, the three palaces of Cining, Kunning, and Qianqing, and Gongzhuang took the lead. The people of the capital all knew about this, and they complained that Yu Shangshu's trip would be a failure." Xing'an sighed.

This one of the things, more than a complex?
"Then is there any other way for Yu Shangshu? The capital has to transport food." Zhu Qiyu looked at the 52 people kneeling on the execution ground, after much deliberation, there were still fewer beheads.

Destruction in the physical sense is the real destruction.

The way of a loving father is always effective at critical moments.

Seeing that King Yun finally understood the key, Jin Lian bowed his head and said, "Yu Shangshu is trying to dredge the Hui River."

"If you can't get through, let them go to Tongzhou to get food on their own after the military and Japanese troops enter Beijing."

"Although there will be looting, it is helpless."

Jin Lian is not a fool. He said that burning the grain in the Tongzhou warehouse was because he was afraid of looting and turning the soldiers into bandits. It was just a matter of military orders.

By then, Tongzhou would be in complete chaos.

It's okay to let the military and Japanese troops work hard, but you have to let people eat, and then work hard?
Zhu Qiyu finally understood why Yu Qian was so important, but he was in Tonghui River, and he wanted to send food to the capital through a method that was more beneficial to Jiangshan and Jiji.

But Jin Lian and Xing'an always believed that Yu Qian was bound to fail.

Can Yu Qian dredge the Hui River?
The answer is no, he can't.

"Xing'an." Zhu Qiyu thought about it seriously and said, "Be sure to keep food coming to Beijing. Anyone who obstructs it, no matter who it is, will be executed."

"You ask the Ministry of Industry to find some thick wooden poles, five or six feet high. After beheading, hang the corpse on both sides of the Tonghui River as an example!"

"Let Lu Zhong of Jinyiwei go with Tiqi, but if someone obstructs it, once it is investigated to the end, it will not be tolerated. After all the obstructers are cut off, they will all be hanged!"

Xing'an shivered and asked in a low voice, "If...then Huangzhuang's head is found, will he be hanged too?"

"Hang!"

Yu Qian could not dredge the Hui River, but Zhu Qiyu could.

Yu Qian did not have the kind of power to investigate and punish Huangzhuang's business.

Yu Qian can't, Zhu Qiyu can, he is the supervisor of the country and the future emperor.
