Chapter 34

"Welcome to the emperor."

Empress Zhou, with a look of sadness on her brow, led the palace crowd to welcome Li Yunze.

"You don't need to be too polite." Li Yunze kindly stepped forward to help him up, "During this period of time, I will trouble you with everything in the palace."

"It's all part of the job."

After some pleasantries, it was the banquet.

Zhang Yan was already waiting in the hall, and it was another exchange of greetings and politeness.

After the banquet was over and everyone was settled properly, Li Yunze who returned to the imperial study called Cao Huachun, "Is there any change in the palace these days when I've been down to the south of the Yangtze River?"

"Going back to the emperor, many people have arranged for the palace." Cao Huachun's small eyes were full of shrewdness. "What's more, courtiers from various parties often come and go in Jiading Bo's mansion, and they have entered the palace many times to see the empress."

"List."

Cao Huachun hastily took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve and handed them over.

Looking at the names above, how to arrange how many people to enter the palace, and when to enter Jiadingbo's mansion for banquet records.

Li Yunze, who was not at all surprised, put away the list, "Everyone who enters the palace must be stared at to death, waiting for orders to dispose of them all. As for Jiading Bo"

He turned and went to the safe, opened it and took out a box of devices.

"Come here and teach you how to use this thing."

"Give this camera to the hidden pile buried in Jiadingbo's mansion by Dongchang. Find a suitable angle in the banquet hall and bury it properly. It is best to place it on the girder facing the banquet hall. How to use it is correct. I'll teach you about accurate angles."

"My lord."

Cao Huachun, who looked embarrassed, replied in a low voice, "Dongchang has no hidden stake in Jiadingbo's mansion, and Jinyiwei must have one."

"If there are no hidden stakes, then arrange people. How can I teach you this? As for Jin Yiwei, I can't trust Luo Yangxing."

Li Yunze looked at Cao Huachun approvingly, "Compared to Jin Yiwei, I trust you Dongchang more."

After saying this, Cao Huachun's tears fell.

He choked with sobs and saluted, "This servant is willing to go through fire and water for the emperor, and I will die!"

After a long time, Li Yunze's experience has also increased rapidly. For him, this level of skill is already at his fingertips.

"This is a receiver, use it like this"

After instructing how to install and use, Li Yunze asked Cao Huachun to handle the matter quickly.

"I wanted to have a stable year."

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Yunze couldn't help complaining, "It's true that I don't understand anything."

The officials in Beijing and China are inextricably linked with the localities, and many of them were even born in the south of the Yangtze River.

Li Yunze made such a big commotion in the south of the Yangtze River, it is impossible for these senior officials in the capital not to respond.

Collect business taxes, clear acres of land, and control maritime trade.

Not only did they cut off all kinds of filial piety and routines, but they even dug up their roots.

Cutting people's fortunes is like killing their parents
In this case, let alone the emperor, even if Impermanence came, he would still have to get a few slaps on his ears first, and then go to the side to kick for a few hours.

In order to protect their own financial resources and property, they can do anything.

The simplest and most effective way is to kill the king.

As long as Li Yunze is killed, everything will return to their familiar environment, and they may even get more.

There are many ways to kill the king, the most direct way is to raise troops.

There are many soldiers and horses around the capital.

Not to mention the three major battalions, each health center is also the most concentrated area in the entire Ming Dynasty.

The problem is that others don't know, but these big officials are very clear.Among the army of more than 20 and [-], at least half of them are empty.

The remaining ones were either guard soldiers carrying hoes, or the Beijing camp that had long since been raised and abolished.

It is better to hope that the gods will open their eyes and strike the emperor to death with thunder from the heavens, instead of hoping that these bastards can succeed.

Now the only ones near the capital that are truly capable of fighting are the Huben New Army and the Longxiang Army that Li Yunze brought back from Jiangnan.

On Long Xiang's side, with the blood alliance case caused by Cao Bianjiao, no one dared to make a decision.

Here at Huben Army, Zhao Ledjiao and Lu Xiangsheng have been flooded with visitors these days.

Especially Lu Xiangsheng, not only was born as an authentic literati and Jinshi, he was even a member of Donglin.

To some, this is simply being born with oneself.

However, Lu Xiangsheng's attitude was very firm. When these people showed the slightest sign, Lu Xiangsheng simply closed the door and thanked the guests without seeing anyone.

With his attitude, many people were angry and cursed, saying that he used the prestige of the Donglin Party to get up, but now he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone.

As for Zhao Ratejiao, he did not thank the guests behind closed doors, but wrote a secret report to the emperor who came, what gifts he gave, and what he wanted him to do.

Li Yunze's reply letter was very simple, "The gift is received, but things are procrastinating." '

If there is no way to use swords, the only way to do it is to bribe the palace.

This is why there are many people entering the palace, and the reason why Jiading Bo's side is so busy.

"Zhou Shi."

Thinking of Empress Zhou's unconcealable sorrow, Li Yunze said in a low voice, "See what you do."

For the next few days, Li Yunze did not go to court.And various memorials flew towards him like snowflakes.

The main focus is impeachment, from Wen Tiren to Cao Bianjiao, from Luo Yangxing to Wang Chengen.

But anyone who followed Li Yunze to the south of the Yangtze River was impeached.

As for directly impeaching the emperor, there is no one.

Not wanting, but not dare.

Li Yunze didn't value face at all, impeaching him would really mean being dragged into prison.

Regarding these, Li Yunze chose to 'remain in China' and treat them as if they did not receive them.

This is the counterattack of civil servants, and this is just the beginning.

A few days later, hundreds of Tai students were mobilized and came clamoring outside the Meridian Gate to ask for His Majesty's audience.

This is the traditional routine of civil servants to incite public opinion.

The status of the students is very high.

Wang Chengen went out to warn him, received a letter and sent it to Li Yunze.

The letter was impassioned, accusing the emperor of a series of actions that harmed the country and the people, and said that the emperor must correct it.

To this, Li Yunze's response was very simple, "Tell them, come to the Huangji Hall on the first night of the twelfth lunar month, and I will give everyone an explanation."

The civil servants' offensive was like a wave, and a few days later, the third wave of offensive came again.

Reports came from all over the nine borders, either because the soldiers were short of food and wages, or because foreign aggression was constantly in danger, as if the Tartar army was about to break through the border and enter in the next moment.

Regarding these, Li Yunze could not see them at all.

He's not one to be intimidated.

It's not good to be passive all the time, Li Yunze also made a move.

The ground dragon burning in the palace is vigorous, the cold wind is howling outside, but the inside is as warm as spring.

After rinsing her mouth, Empress Zhou snuggled into Li Yunze's arms, "Long live, the imperial doctor said that the next few days are most suitable for conceiving a dragon species, so don't waste it."

Li Yunze, who had been in love with each other just now, frowned and asked, "Zi Tong, I have something serious to ask you."

"Huh?" Queen Zhou raised her head in doubt.

"Chen Renxi, the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, Xiang Yu, the attendant of the Imperial Academy, Zheng Yan, the official of the Imperial Academy, Zhou Yanru, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, and others, do you know?"

Empress Zhou's body trembled visibly.

"Don't lie." Li Yunze's face was as serious as water, "Jin Yiwei and Dongchang have already investigated the matter clearly. I came to you today to give you a chance."

Empress Zhou immediately got up and cried, "The concubine didn't agree to anything."

If the civil servants want to kill the emperor, they must join forces with the people in the palace.

Since the past dynasties, it is common for people in the palace to murder the emperor.

For example, Emperor Xiaowu of Jin Dynasty was smothered to death by his concubine with a pillow after falling asleep.

If Queen Zhou made a move, it would be very difficult for Li Yunze to ensure that he would not be caught.

Even if she smeared the poison and then what, it would be impossible to guard against.

"I said before, tell your father to be honest. I didn't expect him to jump up and down. This time, he even did the assassination of the king."

Faced with Li Yunze's threats, Empress Zhou's face paled from fright, and she quickly knelt down and saluted, "My father didn't agree, he didn't agree."

Feeling that the time is almost here, Li Yunze said slowly, "If he had directly agreed, Jiadingbo Mansion would have been razed to the ground long ago. But since he helped to spread the message, the accomplice would not be able to escape."

"Long live, please forgive me~~"

"Call Jia Ding Bo into the palace tomorrow, I want to see him." Li Yunze got up and packed up, and walked towards the gate of the palace, "Give him a chance to be a tainted witness, you should think about it carefully!"

In the afternoon of the second day, Jia Dingbo returned to the mansion from the palace, his complexion was pale and he staggered when he walked.

After staying in the study for more than half an hour, Uncle Jia Ding called the housekeeper, "You go and deliver the invitation, and invite all adults to come to the house for a banquet tonight."

The housekeeper looked embarrassed, "Master, please post today, it's against the rules."

Inviting someone to be a guest is to make a greeting post in advance, and make an appointment to come to the door on a good time.

There is no rule that if you call someone today, you will get it today.

"Just say that there is news from the palace! They will definitely come."

That night, the sedan chairs of a group of civil servants filled the alley outside Jiadingbo's mansion.

Everyone was sitting in the living room, and Chen Renxi, who was famous for successfully instigating the students of the imperial court, asked with a smile, "What good news is there for the emperor to invite me to come?"

Uncle Jia Ding, with a strange expression, looked down at the note hidden under the table, coughed and said, "Everyone, there is news that you asked the empress to help murder the emperor."

"Master, keep quiet." Zhou Yanru, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, frowned and raised his hand in a stop sign, "Be careful that the walls have ears."

Jia Dingbo, who forced a smile on his face, waved his hands, "It's okay, I have ordered my family to stay away from here, and no one will hear."

Zheng Yan over there couldn't wait to ask, "How about it, the empress agreed?"

"How could the empress do such a thing!" Jia Dingbo slapped the table angrily.

Chen Renxi frowned, "Since you don't agree, then what are you calling me to do?"

Jia Dingbo coughed, and looked down at the words on the note again, "I mean, there are many Jiangnan women who have come to the palace recently, and you can start with them. Just give them enough benefits."

"It's natural." Xiang Yu held up the wine glass with a smile, "As long as it can send His Majesty to heaven, I will give you whatever you want. You can have as much money as you want. Beauty in a beautiful house, you don't need beauty."

When everyone heard the words, they all burst into laughter.

Zhou Yanru tapped on the table lightly, "After the matter is completed, we will naturally not treat the empress empress badly. Find a baby in the clan to inherit the throne, and the empress empress will raise and manage the government."

"Yes, that's right."

Everyone echoed, "As long as the emperor ascends to heaven, we can get back our fields. The filial piety and income that were cut off will also be returned."

"The previous seniors also got rid of many disobedient emperors. We are just Cao Sui and Xiao Gui."

"Exactly, the emperor's disobedience has cut off our money. How can he be tolerated!"

"Naturally, the benefits of the head of the state are also indispensable." Zheng Yan joked, "After I take control of the government, the title of the head of the state must at least be promoted to the Duke of the state."

Jia Dingbo smiled awkwardly, so he had no choice but to hold up his wine glass to cover up, "Everyone, let's have a drink."

Everyone laughed and feasted, and the atmosphere was very warm.

On the beam facing the living room, a camera is running silently, faithfully recording all the crimes in front of it.
