Chapter 105 Hitting Lao Tzu with a Son, When Can I Pay Back the Money I Owe?Xuanzhen lost again!

Zhang Yong knelt in the Hall of Qinzheng.

"How's the integration going?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"I want to report to the emperor, the slaves and servants have already straightened out the supervisor, and now the eunuchs in the supervisor are obedient to the emperor."

Zhang Yong said some beautiful words: "Your servant invites the emperor, Jin Liangfang is the eunuch who holds the pen, you eliminate the ability of the servant, the servant does not study much about the scriptures, and has only a half-knowledge of some memorials, so I need Liang Fang's help."

"Liang Fang's qualifications, as a eunuch holding a pen, how can he convince the public?"

Zhu Qiyu said: "Let him be your secretary. It takes a little bit of qualifications to convince the public. He recognizes you as a godfather, but he can't give him all the good things. Dogs can't be fed, understand?"

Zhang Yong was taken aback, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

What the emperor meant was that the way to control the donkey is to hang a carrot in front of the donkey so that it can see it but not eat it.

"Has the admiral and eunuch from the factory come?" Zhu Qiyu asked Feng Xiao.

"Go back to the emperor and wait outside the door."

The Jingchang is on the side of the moat, and it is closer to the Qianqing Palace than the Priest, but the Prison is moving, and some important items are being transported into the palace, so Zhang Yong came faster.

"Come in!"

Soon, two eunuchs walked in tremblingly.

"Greetings to the emperor!" Lu Tian respectfully kowtowed.

"Is this a book printed by the factory?" Zhu Qiyu threw it on the ground.

As soon as the wind blowing from the booklet, Lu Tian knew that it was an authoritative copy when he saw the blurred ink marks, he tremblingly said yes.

"Is the factory short of ink? Or is it short of engraving?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.

Lu Tian was so frightened that he shivered, and even said no.

"Then why is it printed like this?"

Seeing that Lu Tian kept pleading guilty, Zhu Qiyu suddenly shouted: "Answer!"

"Q-Qi report to the emperor, yes, it is the negligence of the people below." Lu Tian shirked responsibility.

"The people below are negligent? I think it's your negligence!"

Zhu Qiyu suddenly became angry: "Come here, drag him out and beat him! Beat him until he tells the truth!"

Lu Tian begged for mercy, but was gagged by the eunuch Wan Gong and dragged on.

Hearing Lu Tian's screams, Tong Yin trembled endlessly.

"You said, why?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.

Tong Yin didn't hear it, Zhang Yong came over and slapped him across the face.

Only then did Tong Yin come back to his senses: "Reply, if you go back to the emperor, it's because the servants and maidservants are not well supervised, please punish the emperor!"

Be honest.

"Is it poor supervision, or is it rich in private pockets?"

Zhu Qiyu took out the books published by the Longyou Merchant Gang, reluctant to throw them on the ground: "Look, the books of the Longyou Merchants are made of excellent materials and the ink is clear, but the price is only half of the factory version! It is hard to find a copy in the market! "

"Tong Yin, tell me, where did the money from the factory go?"

"Why do you print such a bad book! I'm ashamed to call it a book!"

Tong Yin trembled all over, and heard Lu Tian's screams in his ears, and said in horror: "I was reported by this servant, and I was corrupted by Eunuch Lu!"

He was smart enough to put the blame on Lu Tian.

"I don't think Lu Tian was greedy for ink, but the whole economic factory was greedy for ink!"

Zhu Qiyu suddenly yelled: "You are not a good person either! You also have a share!"

"Decree, the eunuch above the management of the economic factory, hand over 50 taels of silver within three days, and hand it over to the supervisor of ceremonies. The corruption of ink will be stopped. If you can't pay it, I will start killing you, Tong Yin! Kill the entire economic factory !"

"Did you hear that?"

Tong Yin's body trembled again, and he kowtowed in horror: "Your maid obeys the order."

"From now on, the factory will be shut down, and the craftsmen will disperse and enter the Chaoyang Publishing Factory."

Zhu Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Tong Yin, you are the admiral for the time being."

Tong Yin was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that he would get a blessing in disguise.

"Don't be too happy, 50 taels of silver is not less than a copper plate!"

"Also, let me print this book, if the cost is higher than that of Longyou Bookseller, or if it is not as exquisite as their books, I will take your dog's head off!"

"Did you hear that?"

After being yelled at by Zhu Qiyu, Tong Yin trembled and kowtowed to say he understood.

"Three days later, I will send new craftsmen to the scripture factory, and I will take care of it. If any eunuch bullies the newcomer and reports to me, I will also pick off your dog's head!"

"My servant understands, my servant understands!" Tong Yin trembled.

But at this moment, Wan Gong came in and reported: "My lord, I'm out of breath."

Wan Gong, also one of the eight bearers, is Zhu Qiyu's trusted eunuch.

It was about Lu Tian, ​​the eunuch who was the admiral of the factory.

"Throw it away at the mass grave, don't dirty the good land, and confiscate the house in Dongchang."

Zhu Qiyu told Tong Yin to go away, and then looked at Zhang Yong: "I will give you three days, this supervisor of ceremonies must be used by me, do you hear me?"

Zhang Yong was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and repeatedly said he knew.

The emperor is killing chickens and monkeys.

He lied, and was seen through by the emperor. He didn't completely rectify the ceremonial supervisor at all, he just said nice words to coax the emperor.

The emperor knew that he didn't take him under the knife, he killed the eunuch of the factory, and he was warning him, do things obediently, and report honestly, if there is a next time, you Zhang Yong will be executed with a stick.

"Go down." Zhu Qiyu was very dissatisfied with Zhang Yong's speed.

"return!"

When Zhang Yong walked to the door, Zhu Qiyu said again: "The silver is not for Dongchang, after the counting, send it back to the palace."

"Slaves understand." Zhang Yong twitched the corners of his mouth, the current emperor seems to be looking for money, and he knows money and money.

"Wan Gong, I plan to send you to the Military Weapons Bureau, may you be in charge?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.

Wan Gong's eyes lit up, the emperor was finally willing to let him out!
In fact, he has served the emperor for more than three years, and he made a contribution on the night of seizing the door, so the emperor trusted him and asked him to be a bearer to personally protect the emperor.

"The servants will definitely take care of the military department for the emperor!" Wan Gong understood the emperor's thoughts.

"Well, although the Military Weapons Bureau no longer produces firearms, it is still an important place for military weapons, armor and artifacts, and the Military Weapons Bureau still needs to work hard."

"I won't go into details about how important the Weapons Bureau is, you should be very clear about it."

Zhu Qiyu exhorted: "Now, the Armament Bureau has been cleaned by me, and it is just a blank sheet of paper. You choose a few eunuchs from the Qianqing Palace to be your helpers, and you promote capable people from the craftsmen to take up official positions, and fight with soldiers. It's the same as the bureau, I have great use."

"Wan Gong, I entrust the Weapons Bureau to you, I hope you will not accept my expectations!"

"Slaves must follow the emperor's instructions, treat craftsmen with craftsmen, develop equipment, and live up to the emperor's kindness!" Wan Gong made it clear.

His biggest weakness is illiteracy, but he is cautious and lacks development.

"Set up the shelf first, and in a few days, I will personally order to see the craftsmen, and if there is an important matter, I will give the opportunity face-to-face."

"Slave obeys the order!" Wan Gong first went to Qianqing Palace to pick people, and then brought the craftsmen to the New Weapons Bureau, and then started to rectify.

After sending away all the merits, Zhu Qiyu began to review the memorial.

In today's post, there are commas and periods.

The corners of Zhu Qiyu's mouth curled up: "Not bad."

……

A few days passed by.

Hu Wei thanked the guests behind closed doors, feeling worried every day, that the money handed over by all the officials in Beijing was not much.

Some even handed in cloth, pepper and other items.

He really has a headache, and he can't say more, otherwise he will be regarded as the emperor's running dog by all officials, how can he be a pillar of the minister?

"Father, if you were a son, just kill a few, and the others will naturally pay the price obediently."

Hu Bin sneered, laughing at his father's indecision.

That day, after hearing the imperial decree from the palace, His Majesty ordered the sons of the ministers to enter the palace. He was overjoyed, but was stopped by his timid father who did not allow him to leave the palace.

Take Zhu Kai as an example, Zhu Kai lost an arm, and Shuntian Mansion has ignored him until now.

"Is my son an idiot like Zhu Kai?"

Hu Bin was full of disdain: "Your Majesty intends to be a sage. He is simple and frugal, and he can listen to advice. Isn't this the rare sage in the book coming to court? Why is father and those idiots fighting against His Majesty? "

"You don't understand." Hu Yan rolled his eyes, you have never experienced the Yongle Dynasty, you are an old minister who has experienced the Yongle Dynasty, let's see who is willing to let His Majesty become Emperor Taizong!
"It's not that my son doesn't understand, it's just a fight for power and profit, it's human nature."

Hu Bin dismissively said: "The son advises the father, don't seek business with those idiots. In the eyes of the son, Yu Shaofu and his father cook wine and talk about heroes. The others are all idiots! Short-sighted , not worth mentioning!"

The ministers are right, the shadow of Taizu and Taizong on civil and military officials is too great.

Everyone was worried that if the two emperors reappeared, there would be such a one again, so the officials were terrified.

Hu Wei said he didn't understand.

"Then please let the son understand, father, that the son is willing to enter the palace to serve the monarch, as a matter for the country and the people. If the son makes a mistake, the son is willing to kill him if he is willing to kill him. Asking death is what the son wants!" Kneeling Hu on the ground.

"Not allowed!" Hu Min's face darkened, and in front of his old father, he said, "Damn it, do you want to piss off your father?"
When he was young, he was traveling around, neglecting his good wife at home.Old people have sons, especially this youngest son, who was born only in his fifties. He is actually a concubine, but he raises him as his legitimate son, so he naturally regards it as a treasure.

"Then how does father deal with His Majesty?"

Hu Bin raised his head and looked at his father: "Your Majesty also said, let the concubine of the family enter the palace, and His Majesty will personally train him, but the son will not be able to inherit the family business, and he will have a headache reading the books of sages and sages. Idlers?"

"Are you not ranked in the imperial examination? After that day, can you take a look at the books of sages? Those who have entered the palace with all their hearts, my son, the palace is deep and deep, and Yu'er has already entered the palace. I heard that you are serving in the Qianqing Palace. Do I have to worry about you as a father?" Hu Wei sighed.

"Father, when my son enters the palace, he happens to take care of Yu'er."

Hu Bin smiled and said: "Think about it, Your Majesty ordered the daughters of all the officials in the world to enter the palace. Yu'er is simple and will be bullied in the palace; besides, these daughters of thousands of gold were originally alone in the palace, but now brothers in the family enter the palace. With care, only Yu'er doesn't have it, wouldn't you be more worried?"

Hu Yi's face turned dark, a granddaughter is not as important as a son!
Moreover, this son is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He is afraid that Hu Bin will become His Majesty's knife and cut at civil servants!

When the time comes, what kind of face should Hu Wei be the leader of the civil servants?

But this kid has no intention of going, I'm afraid he really can't stop him.

"Father, the son will come to pay his respects tomorrow and ask the father if he agrees with his son's entry into the palace?" Hu Bin persisted.

"Ugh!"

Hu Wei sighed, took the memorial he was writing from the case, and handed it to his son.

"Gyeonggi has been suffering from disasters and injuries for many years, and there are many taxes and services, which are more than those in other counties. For example, Chaifu, the secretary who cherishes salary, has a lot of work. The compradors of Guanglu Temple have not paid the prices for a long time. The local people also hope to reduce the husband's labor and save the compradors."

"The people of Beijing are exhausted. Is it necessary to pick and transport husbands and other counties in Zhenbao?"

Hu Bin finished reading quickly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Father wants to use his husband's labor to squeeze out his money? It's too child's play."

"How do you say?" Hu Yan remained calm.

"Your Majesty will definitely scold Hu Min for being incompetent after reading it. Do you still need to report to the Holy Majesty for such a trivial matter?"

Hu Bin sneered: "If the son is the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, the Chai Fu service will be abolished directly, and he will be bought with money."

"Where did the money come from?" Hu Wei asked him.

Hu Bin laughed, very cruelly.

Hu Wei trembled all over, this devil king of chaos!
"Son, if Daddy lets you out, you will surely die, and your stink will last forever!" Hu Wei burst into tears.

"It's not bad for a man to have a bad smell for thousands of years!"

Hu Bin showed an evil smile: "The son will distribute the gentry's money to the peasant households; the gentry's fields will be divided equally among the world!"

Pfft!
Hu Wei sat on the ground and wailed loudly: "The old man has prepared the coffin for you, waiting to collect the body for you, go, you enter the palace!"

"Hahaha, son is joking with dad!"

Hu Bin laughed triumphantly, and helped his father up: "The son is not a fool, a gentleman is a gentleman, and the son is a gentleman. How can he distribute his land to the poor? Isn't that self-destruction?"

"People's hearts will never be satisfied, and there will never be justice in this world."

"Everything is doomed from birth. Of course, my son will not dig his own roots. He is not a fool."

"If your son is the Governor of Shuntian, and he knows how to perform military service and buy a double-doing strategy, the money will of course come from the inside. Anyway, His Majesty has money, so don't spend it in vain."

"Abolish part of the husband's labor, let Chai Fu hand in a fixed firewood every day, and spend money to buy the excess cut, so as to balance people's hearts."

After hearing what Hu Bin finished speaking, Hu Wei nodded slightly, which seemed like a human saying.

"If you say this, the old man will feel at ease. Go, enter the palace, serve the monarch, and take care of Yu'er. There is no need to worry about the family. The old man is in good health. Your brother is honest and responsible, and will not cause trouble. You can rest in the palace with peace of mind." Serve."

Hu Wei gave some instructions and sent his son away.

Hu Bin enters the palace.

The one who entered the palace with him was Li Xian's second son Li Jie.

"I heard that your sister married Sheng Shenggong?" Zhu Qiyu asked Li Jie.

Li Jie's youngest sister, who is ten years old this year, is married to Kong Hongxu, the No.60 generation Yansheng Gong who is also ten years old this year.

"Your Majesty, please appease your anger. This marriage was engaged years ago and has not yet been reported to the palace." Li Jie said cautiously.

"Is it because you have no time to repay your luck, or do you not look down on the emperor?" Zhu Qiyu said in a low tone.

"Wan Sheng would never dare, and the Li family would not even dare! Wan Sheng's father is loyal to His Majesty, please learn from His Majesty!"

Li Jie kowtowed: "I beg Your Majesty to bestow the younger sister in the marriage family. If Your Majesty is dissatisfied with Yan Shenggong, you can choose another marriage. Everything is up to Your Majesty! The Li family has no objection!"

Before Li Jie entered the palace, his father, Li Xian, told him that everything should go smoothly, His Majesty, if there is any disobedience, his father will prepare a coffin for him.

Li Xian wanted to kill his son to serve the sage, and he made Li Jie cry. In your heart, his son seems to be inferior to a dog.

"Forget it, it's all settled, why should I be such a villain?"

Zhu Qiyu was quite satisfied with Li Jie's attitude: "Where is Kong Hongxu?"

"Not in Beijing."

"When Najib is waiting, I will also order him to enter the palace, and I will tune, teach, tune, and teach him." Zhu Qiyu said lightly.

Li Jie didn't dare to say anything, because Gein was His Majesty on the one hand and Lord Sheng Sheng on the other, he couldn't afford to offend him.

"Duke Shengsheng was able to meet His Majesty's teaching. This is the legacy of a sage!"

Hu Bin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

Zhu Qiyu had heard about this Qilin son of the Hu family a long time ago, but Hu Min protected him tightly and did not allow him to serve in the palace.

"Hu Bin, aren't you afraid of literati's spitting stars?" Zhu Qiyu was surprised.

"The literati's spitting stars can't kill people, but your majesty's sword can kill people. The late students know the seriousness." Hu Bin admitted frankly that he was flattering.

It made Zhu Qiyu laugh out loud, and chatted a few more words.

Zhu Qiyu is very satisfied with Hu Bin, this son is aggressive, ruthless, and good at pandering, suitable for making a knife.

But Li Jie is not even a star and a half short, without Li Xian's knowledge, let alone Hu Bin's quick brain, he is really a mediocre talent.

Li Xian's eldest son, Li Zhang, is also doing nothing. I really don't know why Li Xian is competing with me.

"It's almost here, right?"

Zhu Qiyu stood up: "Go, follow me to have a look."

Outside Fengtian Hall, there were hundreds of people bustling and bustling, most of them were sons and daughters of powerful families. Although they were dressed like dogs, they were all full of makeup.

But there are also some who are dressed in plain clothes. These are the branches of the powerful family, and they can't get much credit at ordinary times. They must be there when the clan is punished.

Logically speaking, these unlucky ones have no chance to succeed.

Zhu Qiyu made a special point to let them enter the palace as guards, in fact, he valued the dedication of these people.

He does not hesitate to title, what he wants is talent.

At a glance.

Zhu Zhen, Liu Chengkuan and others were impressively included.

Wang Fu, Zhan Zhong, Lei Tong and others were also ordered into the palace.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the banner guards have been rectified!" Guo Jing knelt on the ground, neither sad nor happy.

Today Zhu Qiyu ordered Chen Shao and Guo Jing to escort them.

Guo Jing is Guo Deng's cousin, and his grandfather is Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding. He has been guarding the palace for many years. There are more than a dozen people in the Guo family guarding the palace.

But Guo Jing is not bad, Zhu Qiyu has more than two months to go to school, capable and willing to be a green leaf, he is a usable talent.

Therefore, he was promoted to be the commander of the standard guard.

"That's right. From now on, the standard-bearer guard will be on duty in the palace with the other four guards."

For the other guards, Zhu Qiyu is still not at ease.

Standing on the steps, Zhu Qiyu said loudly: "My lords, your fathers and ancestors are all in the court, serving me! Serving Da Ming!"

"You are also heroes, you shouldn't be doing nothing at home!"

"I made an exception to show mercy and let you enter the palace for rotation."

"Firstly, temper your abilities and use them for the country as soon as possible; secondly, there are many wars in Xuanzhen, and the results of the battle are not good. I need you to serve the country in advance!"

"But don't worry, you can also take part in the imperial examination if you take up a military position. I don't set any restrictions!"

"I want to put the imperial guards in your hands, let you practice your hands, let you familiarize yourself with the army! One day, I will gallop across Mobei for me!"

Zhu Qiyu said loudly.

Hundreds of people in the square knelt down to give thanks.

"Not counting the six guards including Jin Yiwei, there are a total of twenty guards. The original commanders are all mediocre and incompetent. I will dismiss them all."

"I plan to let you and others temporarily act as commanders, temporarily act as thousands of households, temporarily act as hundreds of households, all temporarily, the able will live in it, and the weak will be eliminated!"

"Those who want to be commanders, take a step forward!"

There are also newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, such as Chen Hu, Liu Chengqing, Liang Chuan, Fang Yi and others have stepped forward.

Aren't they all his people?

They are still the sons of the first wife, which shows that Liang Ping and Fang Ying are completely devoted to their service.

Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied.

But Liu Pu is a bit reckless, he is obviously Zhu Qizhen's diehard loyalist, why did he blatantly fall for me?Are you worthy of the emperor?
Sending all five sons of the family into the palace, as well as the daughter of the family, is really cruel.

"Okay, those who stand up, in groups of two and two, serve as commanders on the left and right!"

"I'll give you one month. After one month, there will be a competition among twenty guards. The winner will continue to serve as the commander, and the loser will abdicate to let the virtuous!"

"But it's not a one-off decision!"

"I will give you a total of three months. The winner who wins all three times will be the commander. Don't underestimate this commander. I plan to bring the guards to the battlefield!"

"The 26 guards in Shangzhi are all disciples of the emperor, and they are all my confidantes!"

"It's an honor to serve as a commander!"

Zhu Qiyu was worried that they didn't understand military affairs, and when they went to the guards to command blindly, they would ruin a major event.

So set up left and right commanders to check each other.

"Others who didn't stand up, I don't think you are cowards!"

"I'm here to read the name, if you read it, stand up!"

Zhu Qiyu read the names according to the list.

Direct appointment, the sons of these courtiers, starting from the command envoy, and then appointed and dismissed to temporarily act as Qianhu.

In order to increase the difficulty, he downgraded the commander of the original guard to a hundred households, a thousand households to a general banner, and a hundred households to a small banner.

Look at these sons of courtiers, who has the ability to integrate the guards!

"Three months later, I want to see the actual results. The combat effectiveness of the guard is the first!"

"The capable go up, the weak go down!"

"Those commanders who have been kicked down also have the opportunity to come back up. I only look at the ability, not other things!"

"Three months later, the Commanders of the Twenty Guards, Qianhu, Baihu, etc. will be fully appointed!"

"After the appointment, I will give you time to practice, weed out soldiers, and replace armaments. I have agreed in advance. I want to see your abilities!"

"Can it be done?"

Zhu Qiyu burst out drinking.

"Weichen (late student) complies with the order." The voice was scattered and there was no fighting spirit at all.

Zhu Qiyu talked a little more tamely before sending him away.

Lead by Guo Jing, let them familiarize themselves with the guards first, and then go to the guards to practice.

It was quiet for several days.

Zhu Qiyu was in the Military Aircraft Department every day, reviewing memorials, and getting in touch with the officials of the Military Aircraft Department.

On this day, early morning.

The cabinet presented a memorial to the great victory in the lake, and the Fengtian Hall rejoiced.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Li Zhen's memorabilia, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Huguang is well settled, I planned to resettle the refugees in Huguang with the wealth of the slum."

"In the end, Jin Yiwei copied Lonely and found nothing."

"I have issued an order to let Li Zhen integrate the guards of the palace, why didn't it be mentioned in the memorial?"

As soon as these words came out, the originally warm atmosphere froze immediately.

"Your Majesty, the veteran thinks that General Li's report of good news but not bad news should be due to poor integration. Those guards are mostly in-laws. How can they be willing to be controlled by the Beijing camp?" Lin Cong said bluntly.

The crowd in the court was excited, and they spoke one after another, asking Li Zhen to practice the method of thunderbolt.

"It's not good to rectify!"

Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand, Feng Xiao presented a memorial from the box, and Zhu Qiyu passed it on.

Zhou Yiqing made another memorial, suing Ningfan for illegality.

What really made Zhu Qiyu jealous was that Zhu Mianpei had a close relationship with Longhushan.

"Has the imperial decree to go to Longhu Mountain arrived yet?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"If you go back to the emperor, based on the distance, you should have arrived."

"Why hasn't Zhang Yuanji, the celestial master, entered the capital yet?"

Zhu Qiyu's eyes turned cold: "Decree, Li Zhen and Chen You don't need to lead the army into Beijing, but enter Nanchang, Jiangxi, integrate Nanchang Wei, and listen to my imperial decree at any time!"

He is going to attack Ning Fan!

After forbearance for more than half a month, the chaos in Huguang Miao was settled down, and the next one is the vassal king!

"Your Majesty, it is difficult to accuse Ning Fan of this crime on Zhou Yiqing. The veteran thought that he should be cited but not released, and just sit and watch Ning Fan's arrogance and domineering. When he is crazy, he will kill him with one blow!" Fans were uprooted.

Zhu Qiyu tapped lightly with his fingertips, Jiangxi is too far away, beyond reach.

"The old minister agrees with Li Ge's words."

Hu Wei said softly: "Ning Fan is domineering, and he will not be willing to be lonely. The center will bear it."

Lin Cong and Wang Hong also agreed.

"Then will you bear it for a while?"

Zhu Qiyu didn't want to let go of this golden opportunity: "Then Li Zhen and Chen You led the army back to Beijing?"

"As it should be, with such a large army by the side of the couch, Ning Fan will naturally restrain himself a lot. As long as the large army returns to Beijing, the opening will naturally come!"

Hu Wei is cunning and scheming.

After all, the cutting of the feudal clan was unanimously approved by the court.

"Then according to what the old lady Fu said, I will order Li Zhen and Chen You to return to Beijing. I just bought some grain in Huguang, and Li Zhen will lead the army to drive the grain to Beijing." Zhu Qiyu was about to say something.

"Eight hundred miles from Xuan Town, hurry up!"

An urgent report came from outside the hall, and a eunuch ran in with a military report.

The hearts of the officials sank to the bottom of the valley inexplicably.

Sure enough, as soon as the military report was read, Hu Wei's eyes went dark.

Lost, lost again!

Lost for the third time!
"How could it be defeated? Xuanzhen gathered great Ming generals like a cloud and fought on their own land. How could they lose three times in a row?"

Wang Wen snatched the military newspaper impatiently, glanced at it, and knelt down on the ground with a thud: "Your Majesty, there are ghosts in Xuanzhen!"

When the army report is over.

The officials prostrated themselves on the ground.

And Zhu Qiyu, as if he had expected it long ago, sighed: "If there is a fourth battle, we will still lose."

"Impossible, Your Majesty..." Lin Cong was disappointed.

"How is it impossible? The fifth battle will still be defeated, believe it or not? If you continue to fight, the failure of the civil fortress will be in sight!"

Zhu Qiyu stood up: "As long as you fight in Xuanzhen, you will definitely lose!"

"Look at the date of this military report, it's the third day of the killing night!"

"And it will take three days to transmit the news from Beijing to Xuanzhen!"

"You say, is it a coincidence?"

Hu Yan was shocked and looked at Li Xian.

Li Xian was stunned.

A merchant is just a fat sheep. Chen Xun slaughtered fat sheep like this; when it comes to him, he also slaughters like this. Can fat sheep bite people?
But Xuanzhen lost three battles and three defeats. How to explain it?
Moreover, His Majesty concluded ten days ago that Xuanzhen would lose again.

"Your Majesty, do you suspect that merchants are retaliating against the court?" Hu Wei asked tremblingly.

"Yes!"

Zhu Qiyu said bluntly: "I killed all the big merchants in the capital, so Xuanzhen will be defeated. This is revenge against me! A provocation against the court!"

"Before I said, you don't believe me, do you believe me this time?"

Hu Wei still didn't believe it, and all the officials found it incredible.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Feng Xiao.

Feng Xiao took out a secret book from the box.

Circulate to all officials.

"This is the information from the Dongchang Fanzi, which was sent back to me!"

Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "I arrived last night, I knew Xuanzhen was defeated last night! It was a day earlier than the military newspaper, do you know why?"

"It's also the post!"

"For the same [-] li rush, it takes three days for the court to receive the information, but it only takes two days for the merchants to go through Daming's post, which is one day faster than the court!"

"Do you know what the outcome of this will be?"

The ministers were terrified, and the post office was dead. The court officials just opened their eyes and closed their eyes, whitewashing the peace.

"The merchants will receive the military report one day earlier than the court."

"In the same way, any decision made by the court will be sent to the Wala people first!"

"Instead, Yu Chambiwa received it one day later!"

"Have you seen the secret performance of Dongchang fanzi? Wala knows the deployment of Xuanzhen very well. As long as Yu Qian moves, he will fall into the trap. If he sticks to it, the rear will be short of food and water. You can't concentrate on fighting."

"Dongchang's secret performance coincides with Yu Qian's military report. Yu Qian killed many people in Xuanzhen, but he still couldn't catch the ghost."

"Do you know why?"

"The inner ghost is not in the army, but among the people!"

"The merchants bribed the common people, and the common people tipped off the enemy!"

"So, any arrangement by Yu Qian is futile!"

"I became blind and deaf, but the enemy army seems to be clairvoyant. Can Yu Qian be undefeated? Even if Yue Wumu is reborn, there is no way!"

That's right, this secret performance came from Mengzhou.

It seems that Mengzhou is still available.

Hu Wei's face was full of shock, when did His Majesty's hand reach Xuanzhen?
He even knew that Yu Qian had killed people!

Dongchang has developed to this point?

He also knows that the East Factory has sufficient money and food recently, and has recruited a large number of people from the capital and refugees.

Even Jinyiwei, Tiqi, and Jiumen Admiral's Mansion are recruiting soldiers wantonly.

With money and food in one hand, and people in the other, the imperial power is expanding rapidly.

Jin Yiwei paid Qing.lou, and Qinglou also fell into the hands of the emperor. It is not yet known how and in what way it will be opened.

He suddenly felt a little fear, the era of Taizong monitoring the world seemed to be coming again!

"I have a list in my hand, the truth is unknown."

Zhu Qiyu asked Feng Xiao to spread it out, only to show it to the ministers of the cabinet, and after reading it, he took it up.

"I plan to pass on the starry night to Yu Qian, and let Yu Qian rectify the Xuanfu. If the interior is not balanced, how can we repel Oirat? Let Oirat take advantage of Daming, how much will my soldiers in the Beijing camp lose? How much food will it cost?"

Zhu Qiyu was very helpless: "It was also said in the military newspaper that more than half of the mountain of grain in the Xuan Mansion was burned by the fire. How did the fire start? I can't trace it, and I can't find out. We can only transfer grain from other places."

Hu Yan glanced at the list, and immediately understood that the emperor was cheating.

Because what they see is a blank sheet of paper.

The emperor deliberately let the wind go, waiting for the merchants to make a move on the list, and when the time comes, follow the clues, won't they be caught?
"Your Majesty, there is not enough food in Gyeonggi, and it is still difficult to maintain the lives of the people in Gyeonggi. How to transfer food to Xuanfu?" Hu Wei frowned.

"Let's urge the water transport again, the battle in Xuanzhen will not be over for a while, the soldiers can't fight hungry!" Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered.

Damn fire, does Xuan Town have that much food?

Isn't all the food in Beijing!

Could it be that the ones that Tiqi seized were stones?
All the officials dare not say anything, they all know it well.

The fire is so strange, the number of burns is checked with the inspection in Beijing, and the details are consistent, sophistry is useless.

"I heard that only 7 taels of silver were collected from the internal funds. How long has it been? More than ten days?" Zhu Qiyu's voice was cold.

Sure enough!

The ministers were shocked.

The emperor said that the fire in Xuanzhen was just to ask for money for embezzlement!

You are so wise, why don't you return the captured food to the people?These are all exploited.

"Why did you only receive this little money? Are you waiting for the breeze?"

Zhu Qiyu suddenly shouted: "Li Xian, you speak first!"

Li Xian who was named was stunned, unable to speak: "Your Majesty, the old minister has already sent the embezzlement proceeds to the internal treasury."

How can dignified scholar-bureaucrats be corrupt?They are all gentlemen of high moral character.

"How much did you pay?"

"2 taels, the veteran only got 2 taels! Absolutely not much!" Li Xian quickly argued.

"Where is Li Jie? Slap your mouth!"

Zhu Qiyu called out, and Li Jie, who was dressed as a guard at the gate of the hall, trembled all over. He thought it was a slap on the mouth.

But Fei Chong pointed to his father.

Only then did Li Jie understand that the emperor asked Li Jie to slap Li Xian?
Son beating his father?

Wouldn't it hurt God?

"Li Jie, are you deaf?" Zhu Qiyu shouted sharply.

Li Jie scrambled and crawled into the hall, and stood in front of Li Xian. Li Xian was still kneeling, but he, the son, was standing.

Snapped!
A slap across the face of Li Xian.

Li Xian's whole face was flushed red, but he was going to be slapped in public by his son!

Where is the face of his prime minister?

He couldn't help crying, he missed Chen Xun, even if the emperor could kneel down at that time, now, woo woo... just want to cry.

"Didn't you eat? No energy at all?" Zhu Qiyu's voice was cold.

Snapped!
Li Jie didn't dare to keep his hand, swung his arms round, and slapped his own father Li Xian hard on the face.

Li Xian screamed, half of his face became red and swollen, and he subconsciously moved his body.

"You still dare to hide?"

Zhu Qiyu drank heavily: "I let Li Jie beat you, and Li Jie represents me. It's not your son Li Jie, but my bodyguard Li Jie. If I beat you, how dare you hide? Li Xian, the sage book will teach you like this Reasonable? Huh?"

"The old minister dare not, the old minister dare not." Li Xian held back tears.

"Fight! I didn't say stop, so don't stop!"

Snapped!
Then Li Jie slapped hard again, his forehead was covered with sweat, the person who slapped him was his own father.

But it was the emperor who asked him to slap his own father.

Loyalty and filial piety are hard to have both, old man.

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were as cold as ice: "You are a majestic prime minister, you do some small things, and you don't collect more than this little money. If you are greedy from the state treasury, can you just do this?"

"I'm giving you a chance to take the initiative to hand it in. Don't know what's good or bad. When I give you the punishment of the Nine Clans, it's useless for you to cry and forgive!"

Accompanied by the sound of slaps, Zhu Qiyu's voice was cold.

"Small ministers! Micro ministers!" Li Xian's face was red and swollen, and his speech was slurred. This brat is really fighting.

"How much have you been greedy for?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

Li Xian was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

"Oh, it seems that there is no count. I will set a number for you? One million taels, I don't want too much. This money is not for my use, but for the benefit of all people." Zhu Qiyu said in a high-sounding manner , In fact, it's all internal money, what to do is not based on his mood?

"Ah?" Li Xian exclaimed, where did he get so much money!

"Say less? Then return 200 million taels!"

"No, no, it's just 100 million taels. I'm going to sell everything, and I'll give 100 million taels to His Majesty!" Li Xian cried like a fool.

"Hit!" Zhu Qiyu was furious.

Snapped!
Li Jie slapped Li Xian hard on the face with a big slap.

Li Xian was beaten up, why did he still beat him?
"Did you pick it up for me? You were the one who got it! From the treasury!" Zhu Qiyu was furious.

"Yes, yes, it was the old minister who was greedy!" Li Xian kept crying.

He couldn't pretend to be a moral gentleman anymore, the key point was that the brat didn't hold back, the beating was so painful that the corners of his mouth were bleeding.

"What? Are you still wronged? Are you resentful?" Zhu Qiyu questioned him.

"Don't dare, don't dare. The old minister has absolutely no resentment. What His Majesty punishes is that the old minister is the head of the cabinet. He should put the world first and the people first. His Majesty is right! The old minister is grateful to His Majesty before it is too late!"

Li Xian kowtowed again and again.

Zhu Qiyu's expression was a little dizzy, asking you to cling to Yan Shenggong, did I allow you to marry a daughter?

If you want to be Yan Shenggong's father-in-law, you have to suffer such humiliation!
When I kill Yan Shenggong, I will let you do it yourself!

"Zhang Yi, how much have you been greedy for?" Zhu Qiyu called again.

Zhang Yi is the son-in-law of Zhou Wang Zhu Huan and the husband of Xingyang Princess. He does not have a high official position in the court, but he is the hub of the vassal kings in Beijing.

His father, Zhang Fu, was originally a Jinyiwei Qianhu, who was sent by Emperor Taizong to monitor King Zhou. As a result, Zhang Fu was bribed, and King Zhou married his daughter to Zhang Yi, which made Emperor Taizong very angry.

This Zhang Yi, who is not conspicuous among the nobles, has a very high status in the lineage of the nobles.

Zhang Yi trembled all over: "Wei, Weichen corrupted 5000 taels."

"Drag out and fight!"

What about fooling the ghost?

Your father-in-law, the king of Zhou, is so rich, and you are the hub of Beijing and China, so you are so greedy?
"Your Majesty, the minister's family is poor, and they all rely on Xingyang's meager salary for support. Therefore, the minister has no status in the family, and all the courtiers can testify for the minister. The old minister is absolutely free from corruption!"

Zhang Yi was wronged, he wanted to embezzle the state treasury, but he had no chance.

He took out 5000 taels to save money and disaster.

Who would have thought that the emperor would never die in killing him.

But Zhu Qiyu ignored whether he was wronged or not.

Two guards drove Zhang Yi out of the hall, and the board was swung down, leaving only Zhang Yi's screams.

The guards who are currently on duty in the palace are all raw, and there is no seriousness in their strikes. After a few blows, Zhang Yi died.

Seeing that Zhang Yi was beaten to death, Li Xian was extremely grateful.

"Corrupt and pervert the law. If I catch you and don't confess, you deserve to be beaten to death!"

Zhu Qiyu said indifferently: "In addition to the title of the lord of Xingyang County, the title will be taken away, and the Dongchang will be sent to search the house. The proceeds of the search will be supplemented with internal funds!"

Zhang Yi's home is not in Beijing, so he probably won't be able to copy anything.

But the emperor is killing chickens and monkeys!

Use Zhang Yi's death to beat the dishonest relatives, and if you don't obediently pay the money, your family will be ruined, and I will kill your relatives, let alone you?
"The ministers will go home immediately, and return the embezzlement money immediately!" Lin Cong kowtowed immediately.

The officials followed suit and shouted.

"Ten days, what have you been thinking about these ten days?"

"I just killed someone, and I was told to stop, can I feel at ease?"

"Isn't it, Xiao Weizhen!"

Zhu Qiyu suddenly looked at Xiao Weizhen, this Xiao Weizhen, who is not clear with the Jin merchants, I have given you a high hand to forgive you twice, and you are not honest and obedient?

"Your Majesty, the old minister has already donated all his family property, and the minister and Zhuo Jing stayed at his wife's and brother's house. It's really gone!" Xiao Weizhen cried.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Mei.

Hu Wei said that Xiao Weizhen handed over both the land deed and the house deed.

He glared at Feng Xiao, why didn't he report back in advance.

Feng Xiao was also wronged, who knew that you would take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents, Xiao Weizhen is quite obedient, let him go.

"Cough cough!"

Having made an oolong, Zhu Qiyu coughed: "I will give you three more days to take out all your illegal gains!"

It has changed again, illegal income, including gift money!
Nowadays, among the officials in Beijing, gifts such as Bing Jing, Tan Jing, Bie Jing, Water Salute, and Tuan Pai are all the rage.

The ice respect is the money for buying ice to cool off in summer; the carbon respect is the money for burning charcoal in winter; the farewell respect is the breakup fee when parting from the capital; money.

Even today's Luming Banquet and Qionglin Banquet have become opportunities to receive gifts blatantly.

In order to show the elegance of the scholars, the actual number is not written, but code words are written, such as eight rhymes of plum poems, forty strong and official, one axis of Baishou picture, one crossing of Mengjin, one famous scripture of thousand Buddhas, etc.

This is just a gift money for ordinary exchanges.

Special services are also clearly marked with a price. What is the price for what to do?

Now, the emperor asked them to take them all out.

How cool it is when you collect it, how painful it is when you take it out!

Who dares to disobey the emperor!

Look at Li Xian, look at Zhang Yi, the emperor, why do you need so much money!
