Chapter 432
"What's the matter, Your Majesty, you are doing it so mysteriously." Liu Hongjian stood up and poured Chongzhen a glass of water.

Chongzhen withdrew his gaze, waved his hand to indicate that he was not thirsty, and Liu Hongjian was not polite and took a few sips.

"Cao Huachun from the East Police Department sent me a memorial a few days ago. During the period of the Northern Expedition, some courtiers secretly sent people to Dingwangfu!" Chongzhen said with deep eyes and cold eyes.

It's not that Chongzhen has any opinion on King Ding, but that Daming has always been very concerned about clan relatives making courtiers.

According to the ancestral system, clan relatives are enfeoffed as princes and queens of the county, and they are not allowed to marry courtiers, meet courtiers without business, enter the palace without edicts, and not leave the fiefdom without orders!

According to modern sayings, four words, pig pens raise pigs!
That is to say, but the Zhu family treats this group of pigs who can only eat, drink and give birth very preferentially. As long as you don’t make the above mistakes, you can basically eat pig food for a lifetime, oh no, you can enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth.

Now that Chongzhen is on the way to the Northern Expedition, and the crown prince Zhu Cihong is in charge of the country, it is a critical period for the Ming Dynasty. The courtiers and many clansmen should be more cautious and abide by the ancestral system.

But some courtiers dared to do this while he was not in the palace!

"What do you think this is? I already knew about it!" Liu Hongjian said surprisingly.

He really knew it a long time ago, after all, it is Jin Yiwei who is in charge. Although Jin Yiwei's main business is now in the foreign domain, but the old man from before is left there!
Liu Hongjian had always disliked matters related to the old Zhu's family.

To raise so many pigs, how much pig feed do you need to eat? Why is your treasury so poor? Do you have no idea?
There is also Zhu Cijiong, the king of Ding, a 14-year-old brat whose eyes are gloomy all day like a mentally handicapped one!

Zhu Cihong has long been the prince of Ming Dynasty, what can you do with a child who has no soldiers, no power and no prestige?

The most speechless thing is that there are really a group of courtiers who are extremely dissatisfied or even disappointed with Chongzhen and the government to make trouble!

Jin Yiwei has the responsibility of supervising the Dongjiji Factory, plus the director of the Dongjiji Factory, oh no, it is Cao Huachun, the factory supervisor, who was recommended by Liu Hongjian.

As the commander of the Jinyiwei, Liu Hongjian knew all kinds of dirty things about the officials in the capital, whether it was Jinyiwei's internal news or the East Police Factory's external news.

As for why not all of them were imprisoned, the reason is very simple, few of the courtiers have clean asses!
The imperial court's salaries for hundreds of officials were appallingly low. A county official had a monthly salary of seven shi, and had to support a large number of subordinates such as masters and yamen servants who had no rank and establishment.

Who hasn't clicked on the means to make money?
Since he has been busy fighting wars, Liu Hongjian has no time to deal with these courtiers who can still do some practical things.

"Liu Qing already knew about it? Why didn't you tell me?" Chongzhen was stunned. In Chongzhen's mind, clan relatives and courtiers were no less important than fighting against foreign enemies.

This is the ancestral system handed down from generation to generation by the old Zhu family. What is the plan for the clan to make friends with the officials?
They have no shortage of money, women, or status, the only thing they lack is power!

Although the prince has a very high status, he has no real power, and if he wants to get real power, he has to find a way to rise to power.

Ding Wang Zhu Cijiong was still young, and Chongzhen thought that this matter was the instigation and instigation of those courtiers, plus the prince Zhu Cihong's temper...

After Chongzhen categorically did not allow himself to die, Daming once again staged what happened a hundred years ago that King Ning rebelled against the court.

"Your Majesty, I think it's just a child's trick. If you have to report these trivial matters to you, wouldn't you be busy all day long?" Liu Hongjian still felt that Chongzhen was making a fuss out of a molehill.

"Liu Qing is confused, I am here, they must not dare to act recklessly, if I die, there will be chaos in the palace, this matter must not be ignored!" Chongzhen did not reprimand, but just explained his interests to Liu Hongjian softly.

Although Liu Hongjian has unique insights most of the time, in terms of government affairs, it has to be said that compared with Chongzhen, who has been emperor for 18 years, he is still far behind.

Zhu Cihong's temperament is similar to that of Chongzhen, and he has always followed Chongzhen as an example. After 18 years, some courtiers naturally did not want to welcome the new emperor who is still such a "good guy".

He could almost imagine that if he died outside the pass, these courtiers would not only run to Prince Ding's Mansion, but they would probably be in the Beijing Camp as well.

The success of Chongzhen and Liu Hongjian's Northern Expedition is of course a great achievement, but that is Chongzhen, not Zhu Cihong!

And even if you, Liu Hongjian, are the son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty, you will not have the blood of the Zhu family after all.

What courtiers are best at, Chongzhen has the most say, what these guys are best at is demagoguery!
If it is really a few generals who are persuaded by him, plus there are internal supporters in the palace, everything is unknown, is this a trivial matter?
"Eh... I listen to the emperor." After being scolded by Chongzhen, Liu Hongjian also felt that he was too hasty.

According to the previous thinking, the courtiers Xungui just came to visit, and they made a fuss. If these guys are really too much, they can be arrested and beheaded.

If they really make a fuss, bloody suppression is enough, isn't it just sudden and sudden?Isn't it just copying?I'm the best at this.

But now it seems that things are not that simple, what if someone plays tricks on you?
For example, trying to kill Zhu Cihong!

Since he was not by Zhu Cihong's side, who knows how capable these ministers are, he only knows that at least two emperors of Ming Dynasty died for no apparent reason, and they all fell into the water!

God is so pitiful, if you fall into the water, you will die, so why don't the imperial doctors go home and eat shit!
If the emperor is like this, what about the prince?

"In this way, send people back to the capital to send a message, and report to the imperial court that I am critically ill. Let Jin Yiwei enter the city secretly to protect the prince, and Cao Huachun closely monitor the officials. Even in Shenyang City, there is no need to hide it. Let's do it!"

Liang Yang, the commander of Jinyiwei, and Cao Huachun, the director of the Dongji Police Factory, are well versed in this. Needless to say, they will also know the importance of the matter and what Chongzhen wants them to do.

The Dongchang fanzi who went back and forth a few days ago had already passed the news of Chongzhen's unwell to the court, and now that he is critically ill, the courtiers would not be suspicious.

Fortunately, Liu Qing was there, otherwise, this time it would not be a fake critical illness, but a real one!
It's good to try it out, there are not many such opportunities, Chongzhen secretly thought.

Drowsy for the past few days, coma and sickness, after talking so much, Chongzhen felt deeply exhausted, so he waved his hand to signal him to rest.

Liu Hongjian saluted and left, but was taken aback as soon as he left the door.

Left and right outside the door, Huang He, Cao Wentai, Qi Mingyin, Lu Haibo, Wu Binghao and several other guards all had strange expressions.

"What did you hear just now?" The corners of Liu Hongjian's mouth rose slightly. Although these were Chongzhen and his confidantes, there were still some things to remind them.

"Our family didn't hear anything." Huang He hurriedly separated the relationship with his male duck voice.

"Me too." Lu Haibo and Wu Binghao quickly agreed.

"The lower official's ears are not good, and he can't hear it five steps away." Qi Mingyin clasped his hands and explained.

"Me too." Lu Haibo and Wu Binghao stared at each other with serious expressions.
