Chapter 856 The Dangerous Situation

The general layout of the Shuntian government office is also the front hall and the back bed.The dividing line between the hall and the bedroom is the gate of the inner house after the third hall.

In front of the gate of the inner house, Geshha and maids and women stood full, which can be described as heavily guarded.

According to the rules, outsiders, especially men over the age of seven, are strictly prohibited from entering the inner house gates of government offices and the vertical flower gates of private houses.

Yuzhu handles official business in the signing room of the third hall, and Xiao Fupeng is reading and practicing calligraphy in the fourth hall behind Yuzhu.

The four halls are also called Shangfang, where the flowers and trees are luxuriant and the scenery is elegant.Within the four halls, it belongs to the category of the Nei Ya, and it is the place where successive governors and their families live and live.

According to the etiquette system, when the parents are present, the son and daughter-in-law must be nearby to wait on them.

Whether it is Xiuyun or Cao Chun, it is impossible to move to live in the Houya of Shuntian Mansion.

Therefore, the current back office of Shuntian Mansion has become the world of Xiao Fu Peng.

In a sense, this is roughly similar in nature to the old emperor reviewing papers in the Qianqing Palace and the princes studying in the upper study.

Normally, for cases that require Yu Zhu to appear in person, he will be asked in the Second Hall.

"Reporting to Dong Weng, due to the slow transportation of grain, the price of grain in Beijing has risen from a daily increase to a half-day increase in recent days. If the price of grain continues to rise, it may spark a civil uprising." Zhou Quan Noticing the huge change in grain prices, I hurried to find Yuzhu.

Yu Zhu is also considered an old Beijinger, so he naturally knows that every big fluctuation in grain prices, apart from being related to water transport, is almost always related to the hoarding of grain companies in the capital, trying to drive up grain prices in order to make huge profits .

To be honest, which of the big merchants who dare to open a grain store in the capital does not have a big backer behind them?
"Well, brother Zhusheng, ordered someone to take my name card and invite the top [-] major grain companies in Beijing to discuss this matter." Yuzhu smiled coldly and ordered, "Time It will be early tomorrow morning. Ask the people sent to tell them directly that the noble department will not wait when it is out of date."

"Come here, prepare your horse, and prepare to go to Changchun Garden to face the saint."

"Whoo."

The old emperor had already issued a strict order to mobilize the nine infantry within a hundred miles of the capital, and he had to ask for an order.

There is a jingle in the old capital city, nine inside, seven outside, and four in the imperial city.

This joke says that there are 24 gates in total in the capital city, among which Shuntian Mansion can only get the seven gates of the outer city.

Yuzhu, who is also the commander of the infantry, only wants to get twenty city gates.

As for the four gates of the imperial city, they are the territory of the old emperor, who would dare to take care of them?

In the past, whenever the price of grain in the capital fluctuated, Shuntian Mansion would ask the big grain merchants to "borrow grain".

Of course, borrowing food from the government is like Liu Bei borrowing Jingzhou, almost always borrowing but not repaying.

After a long time, the big grain merchants in the capital have all learned it well.They have set up grain storage warehouses on the border of Zhili, east of Tongzhou.

The governor of Zhili in the Kangxi Dynasty was nominally the immediate boss of Shuntian Fuyin.

In fact, in the decree of the imperial court, the two have always been juxtaposed together.

In the Qing Dynasty, as long as you can take care of it, I can take care of it, it's like everyone doesn't care.

As we all know, the three monks had no water to eat.

The boundary with the worst law and order is often the junction of two provinces, or the junction of three or four provinces.

Everyone can take care of it, which means that the rights and responsibilities are vague, and the gentlemen have a good excuse to shirk.

In the first year of Shunzhi, on the ground of Zhili, there were five great officials in the feudal territory, namely: Governor of Shuntian, Governor of Baoding, Governor of Xuanfu, Governor of Xuanda and Governor of Shanxi.

Later, these big officials in Xinjiang were abolished successively and merged into the governors of the three provinces of Zhili, Shandong and Henan.

In the eighth year of Kangxi, the old emperor dismissed the governors of the three provinces and changed the governor of Zhili to the governor of Zhili, which has continued to this day.

To the east of Tongzhou, Shuntian Mansion is out of control.

The governor of Zhili is not the first person responsible for stabilizing grain prices in the capital, so it is naturally impossible to actively assist Shuntian Mansion's errands.

Yuzhu is an old bureaucrat, and he knows it very well. Instead of going to Baoding to formally write a document and file a lawsuit with the governor of Zhili, it is better to go directly to the old emperor and ask for an order to dispatch troops.

For the Zhili area to the east of Tongzhou, Shuntian Mansion is indeed out of reach.

However, the jurisdiction of the infantry yamen covers within three hundred miles of the capital, so it can be managed.

When Yuzhu entered the garden, Zhao Min, the second-class guard with a knife in front of the team who led the team, secretly winked at Yuzhu.

Almost in an instant, Yuzhu understood that the old emperor was losing his temper.

Zhao Min, surnamed Aixinjueluo, was expelled from the ranks of the clan's yellow belts and demoted to the red belts Jueluo because of his great-grandfather Demahu, who was attached to the party by Dorgon.

Dema Hu, ranked eighth among his brothers, and his Ama is Bayara, the fifth son of the Great Qing Patriarch Takshi.

It's also interesting to say.

Although Bayara is the half-brother of the Taqing old slave, his status is extremely prominent.However, his nine sons were almost killed by Emperor Shunzhi because they were all attached to Dorgon.

Since ancient times, there have been winners and losers.Clinging to Dorgon, this is the original sin, there is no reason to say.

The origin of Yuzhu and Zhao Min can be traced back to ten years ago.

At that time, Zhao Min, who was participating in the selection of the guards in the palace, was crossed out by the first-class guard Norob, who just made an excuse.

Zhao Min's identity is extremely sensitive, if it wasn't for the old emperor's private instruction, Yu Zhu would not have greeted him secretly.

In any case, because Yu Zhu stepped forward and rescued Zhao Min from the predicament of poverty.

Therefore, Zhao Min is really grateful to Yu Zhu for that, and has always regarded himself as a lackey of the Yu family.

Of course, for some things, it is enough for each other to know each other well, and there is no need to make the relationship public.

In order to deceive others, Zhao Min had no relationship with Yuzhu in public.

In fact, Zhao Min was promoted to the second-class bodyguard with swords in front of the imperial court, thanks to Yu Zhu's secret guidance.

There is no way, Yuzhu has been studying the old emperor's temper with great care for so many years, how could he not have his own secret book?

When Yuzhu walked into Qingxi Bookstore, he heard the roar of the old emperor from a long distance away.

"It's the third prince Zhu again, hmph, since I came to the court, I have killed at least eight third prince Zhu."

Yuzhu couldn't help but smile slightly, the ambitious people these days, as long as they rebel against the Qing Dynasty, they will definitely carry out the name of the Third Prince Zhu.

The third prince Zhu, that is, Zhu Cijiong, the third son of Emperor Sizong of the late Ming Dynasty, was named King Ding.

When the Chuang army entered the capital, Ding Wang Zhu Cijiong wanted to escape, but was captured alive by the eunuch Cao Huachun's men, who offered him to Li Zicheng.

When Li Zicheng led his army to attack Wu Sangui, Ding Wang Zhu Cijiong was also in the team.

However, after Li Zi was defeated by a stone, the third prince Zhu has disappeared since then.

In fact, when the Qing army entered the customs, the third prince Zhu was already 12 years old.If he lived to this day, he would be almost 90 years old.

Isn't it absurd for a ninety-year-old man to secretly participate in a conspiracy and run around indefinitely?
However, in this era of extreme superstition, the third prince Zhu is a banner against the Qing Dynasty, which can be used by anyone, and there are actually many believers.

When Yuzhu continued to walk in, he heard the old emperor shout loudly: "The officials in Shandong are all full of wine bags and rice bags, and they let the so-called Third Prince Zhu and the White Lotus Sect get mixed up together. They are all thieves who harm the country and deserve to be killed. "

The third prince Zhu is actually not terrible, at most he is just hanging the banner of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty.

However, the White Lotus Sect, which rose again from Shandong, has always been regarded as a confidant of the old emperor.

Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, the history of the White Lotus Sect's rebellion against the imperial court can be said to have a long history.

Han Shantong, who led the Red Turban Uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, chanted the slogan "Maitreya is born, King Ming is born", and he used the White Lotus Sect, not the Ming Sect.

The former Ming Taizu Zhu Chongba secretly instructed Liao Yongzhong to cut through the bottom of the boat before he ascended the throne, and sent the titular lord Xiaoming Wang to the bottom of the river in Guazhou.

In this sense, in the first half of his life, Zhu Chongba was also a follower of the White Lotus.

After the Qing army entered the customs, they followed the Ming system and banned the White Lotus Sect.

Because he had supervised the "Ming History" for a period of time, Yuzhu knew very well that Zhu Zhongba established the country as Ming, not the Ming that inherited the Xiaoming King, but the successor to the Yuan Dynasty.

The name of the Yuan Dynasty in the Yuan Dynasty comes from the "Book of Changes Qian Gua Zhuan Biography": Great Qian Yuan, the beginning of all things, is the unification of heaven.

The name of Zhu Chongba's Ming Dynasty comes from the following passage: the end of the Ming Dynasty, the six people will be completed at the time, and the time will ride on the six dragons to control the sky.

Since the old emperor was furious inside, Yuzhu was not stupid, so he simply didn't go in.

It's just that people are not as good as heaven.

Zhang Hongxu, who was picking up the broken porcelain pieces inside, saw Yuzhu when he came out, and he hurriedly greeted him, "May Zhu be well."

All of a sudden, the old emperor was alarmed.

"Is it Yuzhu?" The old emperor asked inside.

Yuzhu glanced at Zhang Hongxu, and thought, sooner or later, he will chop off the head of this bastard.

To be honest, with the aging of the old emperor day by day, sooner or later there will be a new owner in the palace.

The great eunuchs all know the hard truth, once they are emperors, they are great eunuchs.

The eunuchs in the palace, because they know too much, they each have backers in the dark in order to save their lives.

It's just that Zhang Hongxu had disguised himself very well before, and Yuzhu hadn't figured out who the backer he was secretly looking for was.

Now, since Zhang Hongxu jumped out on his own initiative, he quietly wanted to cheat Yuzhu.

Yuzhu instantly understood that Zhang Hongxu must be the fourth child.

After entering the room, Yuzhu saluted like a ritual.

The old emperor glanced at Yuzhu, and said angrily, "Since you've come a long time ago, why didn't you come in?"

Yuzhu's heart is clear, and the subtext of the old emperor is: Could it be that he wants to eavesdrop on important military affairs?
Look, Zhang Hongxu's badness is here.

The eunuch in the palace wants to deceive people, the lowest method is to directly sue.

Zhang Hongxu, Wang Chaoqing and others, their common tricks are mainly to start from the side, in order to arouse the old emperor's bad feelings, to achieve the sinister intention of secretly punishing people.

The fourth child made a move secretly, how could Yuzhu answer the old emperor's question, so it was reasonable?
