Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 224 The secret in the list, the cause of death of the late emperor!

It turns out that since the Yongle Dynasty, the capital has had a tradition of raising ducks.

The ducks in the capital have pure white feathers and are called Baihe ducks or Pu ducks.

The Zhengtong Dynasty once raised white river ducks in Yuquan Mountain and invented a unique method of cramming ducks.

The so-called stuffing is a method of quickly fattening ducks by manually stuffing porridge-like feed into the duck's esophagus.

But in the Jingtai Dynasty, because the breeding price was high, it was dirty and smelly, and the original owner did not like to eat duck meat, so he stopped breeding it in Yuquan Mountain.

"Do you know about duck down?" Zhu Qiyu asked the farmer.

The farmer had never even seen the prefect in his life. When he saw the emperor for the first time, you can imagine how nervous he was:

"Hui, back to your lord, the most essence of duck feathers is duck down."

"For making clothes."

Zhu Qiyu was surprised. Did he already have down jackets?

"How to make clothes? You tell me, don't be afraid, just talk about homemaking." Zhu Qiyu comforted him.

He hesitated and couldn't understand.

Another farmer said: "Your Majesty, all the feathers are sold to wealthy families."

"I heard it is used to make clothes and quilts."

"My family is so poor that I can't afford it, and I don't know how to make clothes!"

But Feng Xiao knew that some noble people wore white feather coats made of duck feathers.

The duck down is picked out and made into a quilt or mattress.

Duck down mattresses are more common.

Zhu Qiyu had something in his mind.

He gave the two farmers one tael of silver as a reward and sent them out of the palace.

"Feng Xiao, go to the needlework bureau, pick out two skillful embroiderers, and send them over."

Zhu Qiyu said again: "By the way, let Shangshi Bureau pick out a few kilograms of duck down. I want to use it."

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Feng Xiao went to do it immediately.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Dong Ci and said, "It's getting dark. Please accompany me to have dinner before leaving the palace."

"My slave, thank you for your grace!" Dong Ci knelt down to express his gratitude.

"What do you think, let the Chinese people wear sweater-like shorts?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly asked.

"what?"

Dong Ci was surprised: "Your Majesty, although the sweater is short, the underwear is not exposed. If everyone wears short clothes, wouldn't they become barbarians?"

No wonder there were no down jackets in the Ming Dynasty.

If the down jacket is particularly long, the down will pile down and fall off after a few wears.

Moreover, the problem of drilling is particularly serious and difficult to solve.

"Actually, the sweater can be shorter and just cover the chest. If it is knitted for soldiers, it can be made without sleeves for easier training."

Zhu Qiyu's imagination was wide open.

"My lord, have you noticed that the sweater becomes very stiff and prickly after being worn for a few days?" Dong Ci whispered.

Because it cannot be softened.

Zhu Qiyu didn't feel it: "Feng Xiao, how many sweaters do I have?"

"Back to my lord, you have six pieces in total. One piece was damaged by washing and has been repaired."

Feng Xiao replied: "You change one piece every day, and the new one must be washed."

So Zhu Qiyu couldn't feel it.

"Eunuch Dong is right."

"The sweater will become knotted after two days of wearing it."

"You need to be careful when cleaning, otherwise it will get damaged."

"The sleeve of one of my slave's clothes broke after being washed."

"There was another one that was fine when I was wearing it, but when I was walking, it suddenly became untied, which made the slave a joke."

Feng Xiao said with a smile.

In other words, sweaters are consumables, so the cost of making them increases.

"Technology needs to improve. When will Ming Dynasty's sweaters be as popular as silk and sell well all over the world, it will prove that sweaters are successful!"

While talking, the Secretary of Shanggong Bureau led four female workers from the Needlework Bureau into the hall.

"I plan to make a down jacket filled with duck down. Can I do it?" Zhu Qiyu asked directly.

"Go back to your Majesty, I can do whatever I can." Ms. Liu, the manager, was born as a female worker, and she was clever and clever, and she climbed to the position of Shanggong Bureau step by step.

Most of the maids in the palace were let out, but she was specially kept because her needlework was extremely beautiful and unparalleled in the palace.

Zhu Qiyu walked to the case and drew a picture of clothes.

Short coat, close-fitting.

"Have you ever made this kind of down jacket before?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Go back to your Majesty, I saw my mother do this when I was a child."

"But this kind of clothing is not worn. If it moves a little, the threads will open or break, and the down will come out. It is very wasteful."

"It's not easy to clean. It's full of bulges and looks very unsightly."

"So, the people all sold it to earn some money to buy pieces of cloth to make clothes, so the slave mother stopped doing it."

Liu Sizhi did not dare to say that there was still a lingering smell of duck shit, and noble people would not wear it.

It was made into a mattress, and it was uncomfortable to lie on it.

It was like squatting in a duck pen, the smell was unbearable.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "The solution to the problem is that the duck can survive the winter because of its feathers. If its feathers can be used by humans, the winter will be easier for the people."

"Your Majesty's compassion for the people is a blessing to the common people of the country!"

Liu Sizhi was over fifty, and she had no home outside the palace. If she wanted to have a stable old age, she had to find a backer, and the best backer was the emperor.

"There is nothing much to do in the Qi Shang Gong Bureau."

"You will lead the weavers from the Needlework Bureau to make this down jacket."

"You solve the problem you mentioned."

"After it is completed, everyone will receive a big reward. Those with family members can be made officials. Those without family members will be made female officials!"

It’s getting colder and colder in the Ming Dynasty.

If you want to continue to explore the north, you need adequate warm-keeping measures.

Moreover, ducks are full of treasures. They eat insects, lay eggs, have delicious meat, and their feathers can be used to make clothes.

As long as down jackets can be made, let people raise ducks and geese at home, and in a few years they will all be able to wear cotton clothes.

"This slave serves the Emperor with all his heart and soul, and has no intention of repaying anything in return!" Liu Sizhi kowtowed.

Zhu Qiyu's face softened: "I remember that you were waiting in the palace when I first entered the palace. How many years have you been in the palace?"

"This slave entered the palace at the age of 12. It has been 42 years ago."

Liu Sizhi kowtowed.

"Do you have any relatives outside the palace?"

"Going back to your Majesty, I have a nephew in my hometown. In the past few years, he always asked for money from his slaves, and he didn't know how to show respect to his slaves. In recent years, he has lost contact with him, and he has no relatives to this day."

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "If you develop the down jacket, I will make you my wife, and I will support you in the palace until you die. No one will bully you."

This is what Liu Sizhi wants.

She kowtowed and said, "This slave must die for the Emperor!"

Send Liu Sizhi away.

Zhu Qiyu continued to deal with the memorial. The autumn harvest in many places this year was not ideal.

Hope no one dies of hunger this year.

"Your Majesty, urgent report from Guangdong!" A eunuch outside the door delivered a memorial.

Zhu Qiyu took it and saw that it was Ou Xin's letter for help.

"Go and bring Lu Gao Xuan."

It's time for Tiqi to leave the capital.

at the same time.

Cao Jixiang is interrogating Yuan Bin.

There are many people who are loyal to Zhu Qizhen, but the most loyal person is Yuan Bin.

But Zhu Qizhen felt sorry for everyone who had helped him, except Yuan Bin.

Maybe it's because Yuan Bin has seen his ugliest side.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen can give wealth to anyone, except Yuan Bin.

When he was a prisoner in Mobei, Yuan Bin stayed with Zhu Qizhen, taking care of him, enlightening him, and covering his feet.

When it comes to loyalty, Yuan Bin ranks first.

Nothing beats it.

At this moment, he was tied to the torture rack in a mess, but he had no external injuries, but was in a very bad state of mind.

Haven't slept in three days.

"Yuan Baihu, I have recently learned a good trick." Cao Jixiang smiled.

Yuan Bin opened his eyelids and sneered: "You won't let me sleep?"

Cao Jixiang was originally from the King of Mobei.

The results of it?
He betrayed King Mobei and became the emperor's dog.

This kind of person is something he, Yuan Bin, despises.

Cao Jixiang laughed strangely: "I want to invite Yuan Baihu's mother."

Yuan Bin's father, Yuan Zhong, was a Jinyi Guardsman. During the fourth year of orthodoxy, his father became seriously ill and resigned, and Yuan Bin took up the post.

An old woman was being escorted and slowly walked in.

Yuan Bin hadn't slept for three days. Suddenly he saw his mother coming in, and his eyes widened: "What are you going to do? Cao Jixiang, do you have to do such a despicable thing?"

"What did this governor do? Did Yuan Baihu think too much?" Cao Jixiang asked someone to bring in a wooden donkey.

"Cao Jixiang, you are still not human!"

If he saw his fifty-year-old mother sitting on a wooden donkey with his own eyes, how could he, Yuan Bin, survive?

Yuan Bin struggled for his life and kept shouting: "If you want to take revenge on me, come at me! If you want to kill or behead me, it's up to you. If I scream, I'll take your fucking surname of Cao Jixiang!"

The spit spray hit Cao Jixiang's face from a few feet away.

"This governor doesn't have a son as bad as you!"

Cao Jixiang smiled strangely: "It's just the beginning, your wife Wang hasn't come yet!"

Yuan Bin screamed loudly.

"Hahaha!"

Cao Jixiang laughed triumphantly.

"Old lady, please." Cao Jixiang pointed at the wooden donkey.

Yuan Bin's mother's face turned pale.

She is not afraid of being punished.

But facing this kind of punishment in front of her son, she really wanted to kill him.

"Don't think about death, think about your little grandson. Your old Yuan family is just a piece of incense. If you cut it off, you will lose your descendants."

Cao Jixiang clapped his hands.

A camper came in carrying a child.

"Ahhh!" Yuan Bin's mother cried heartbrokenly.

"Cao Jixiang, fuck your mother!" Yuan Bin's eyes were cracked and veins were gushing out.

"My governor's mother is dead, but your Yuan Bin's mother is here. If Yuan Baihu likes this, then my governor can satisfy you!"

Cao Jixiang smiled strangely.

He just loves to torture people.

"Ahhh!" Yuan Bin roared.

"Old lady, please don't let the governor's people do anything. They are all rotten people and they like all kinds of women."

Cao Jixiang looked at it: "Maybe they also like older people?"

Yuan Bin's mother threw herself to the ground: "Son, give them what they want and let them give us two a happy life!"

Yuan Bin stared blankly, his brain stopped.

The tears couldn't stop flowing out.

His loyalty is crumbling little by little.

"Mom, I'm kowtowing to you, mother, please!" The old woman doesn't know how to be loyal, and she doesn't want to be embarrassed.

If she died like this, she wouldn't be able to hold her head up even if she went over there.

Folks all know that what a person looks like when he dies is what he will look like when he goes to the underworld, and the memories before death will be replayed repeatedly.

"mother!"

Yuan Bin is really unjust.

He could withstand the most severe beatings, but he could not withstand Zhu Qizhen's stab in the back, nor could he withstand his mother's cries.

"I said!" Yuan Bin said.

Late at night, the list was sent to the palace.

Zhu Qiyu was sleeping in the Qianqing Palace, and Mao Xuan was accompanying him.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Mao Xuanshi opened his eyes.

"It's okay, you go to sleep."

Mao is Mao Sheng's granddaughter, she is well-behaved and sensible.

Then he got up and served the emperor to dress.

"You can continue to sleep, I will be here later."

Zhu Qiyu wore a regular robe over his obscene clothes.

Walking to the front hall, there was a charcoal fire burning in the main hall, which was very warm.

He Zhien knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the patrol camp."

He was cold and did not dare to bump into the emperor.

Feng Xiao came over to take away the secret memorial and sent it to Zhu Qiyu.

It’s the list!
Zhu Qiyu's pupils narrowed: "Why is there him?"

Shi Pu!

He turned out to be Emperor Xuanzong's spy buried in the court, and he was Emperor Xuanzong's man.

The most terrifying thing is that there are nails buried in every palace.

This caused the National Guard Army composed of various royal guards to become a sieve, and all news was leaked out!

If he had the list in hand, why would he bother to clean up the clan?
"So many people?"

Zhu Qiyu originally thought that Emperor Xuanzong had buried a few spies.

Unexpectedly, he buried so many people inside and outside the palace, as many as 300 people!
"No wonder I have been the emperor for eight years, and even if I say that I will be taken away from my family, I will be taken away from my family."

"This palace and this world have never been controlled by me!"

"King Mobei is hiding too deep."

Zhu Qiyu was extremely scared.

Fortunately, he was ruthless enough to clear the palace and drive everyone out of the palace, thus escaping the plot.

At that time, there were more than a hundred spies inside and outside the palace.

The entire palace is like a sieve.

There is only one dead end.

After he drove everyone out of the palace, the situation gradually came into his own hands.

"Feng Xiao, let Xu Gan be arrested according to the list, and all the palace officials who were released will be captured and interrogated strictly!"

Feng Xiao was frightened when he saw the densely packed names.

Fortunately, these people were basically released from the palace, the maids were married off, and the eunuchs were sent to Nanjing.

Even if there are stars in the palace, they are still dared to do rough work.

Emperor Xuanzong put nails in all the major departments.

Then use these nails to monitor the world.

This list was passed to Zhu Qizhen, so Zhu Qizhen could use this list to monitor the world in Nangong, looking for opportunities, and make a comeback in one fell swoop.

"That's not right, they are all from the government, not merchants."

Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Let Cao Jixiang review again, the list is incomplete."

"Invite the old master to come into the palace. I have a secret matter to discuss with you and will send Zhu Jia to pick him up."

He was no longer sleepy.

The list of more than 300 people is not complete yet.

Through these more than 300 people, I don’t know how many more will be dug out.

At this time, the eunuch Fu Yuan came to report: "Your Majesty, Mao Xuan asked you, when will you rest in peace?"

"Let her sleep first, I will go later."

Zhu Qiyu leaned back on his chair, closed his eyes and rested his mind: "Blow out the lamp, don't waste the candle."

"Go and get a set of Mingna gauze embroidered cloud pattern knee pads. The old lady's knees are uncomfortable. I'll give them to him when he leaves the palace."

Feng Xiao sent someone to get it.

At this time, after the fight came back, Hu Hui coughed at the door, entered the Qianqing Palace, knelt on the ground and saluted.

"I bother the old lady late at night because I really have something important to discuss."

Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes: "Old Master, get closer to the brazier. Don't get typhoid fever."

"Your Majesty, I came into the palace from the outside and my body is cold. I don't want to offend Your Majesty, so I can stay here."

Hu Xi said respectfully.

"Bring in another pot of coals to keep the old lady warm."

It is important to save what should be saved, and we cannot save what should not be saved.

"The old minister thanked His Majesty Long En."

Zhu Qiyu slowly closed his eyes again: "Light up the hall, and then everyone can go out."

The front hall of Qianqing Palace was once again brightly lit.

All the servants in the palace left.

Zhu Qiyu came over and handed the list to Hu Xi.

"Is this?" Hu Hui was shocked.

"This is the list of spies left by the late emperor."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Old Master, do you still remember the dispute between you and Shi Pu?"

"Of course I remember."

Hu Xi smiled bitterly: "At that time, the old minister and Shi Shangshu were appeasing the people outside the city. Shi Shangshu showed timidity in his words. After a little probing, the old minister found that something was wrong with him."

"However, the situation was urgent at the time, so we could only avoid the important and take the easy."

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly mention this matter?"

Hu Xi thought that Shi Pu had been punished by being driven out of Beijing.

There is no need to pursue it any further.

"Look who's on the list."

Hu Xi really didn't look carefully, but after looking closely, he saw Shi Pu's name.

"Is Shangshu Shi a member of the late emperor?"

Hu Ming understood.

The emperor became suspicious again, so he asked him to have a secret talk.

"I used to be a member of the late emperor, but now I am a member of King Mobei."

No wonder millions of people gather in the capital.

The Ministry of Industry didn’t even know.

Shi Pu was just pretending to be stupid and trying to get something out of the fire.

Fortunately, Zhu Qiyu was alert enough and he didn't succeed.

"I noticed that he was weird before. When I exposed him, he bit me back and muddied the water. He never mentioned it afterward. It's really a traitor but a loyal one."

in fact.

Hu Hui had already reviewed Shi Pu.

Shi Pu was elected in the ninth year of Yongle, and was re-appointed in the early years of orthodoxy.

During this period, while accumulating political experience, he was also looking for opportunities. Emperor Xuanzong was established as the grandson in the ninth year of Yongle.

It is very likely that this nail was left by Emperor Taizong to Emperor Xuanzong.

No wonder that after the restoration of Zhu Qizhen, Shi Pu gained the reputation of a "pure minister". It turned out that this was the problem.

"It's bad. If he goes to Zhejiang, Zhejiang's spies won't be able to find out!"

"There are no spies in Zhejiang, and there are no spies in the whole of Jiangnan." Zhu Qiyu said.

"impossible!"

Hu Xi said firmly: "Emperor Xuanzong once wanted to go to the West again, it's impossible..."

He stopped talking because Zhu Qiyu looked at him with twinkling eyes.

I just knew you old guy had a secret!

Hu Xi sighed: "Your Majesty, I am a minister, how dare you criticize the emperor!"

"This is just a private conversation between you and me."

"Heaven knows and earth knows, you know and I know."

"It's over now. I won't blame you."

Zhu Qiyu added another sentence: "The late emperor will not blame you."

Hu Xi sighed, knowing that it would be impossible not to say anything.

He took two steps back and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, in the ninth year of Xuande, Emperor Xuanzong wanted to sail to the West again!"

"Why is it not recorded in the actual records?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Just the thought."

“Firstly, the fleet needs to rest;”

"Secondly, Hong Bao and Wang Jinghong haven't come back yet."

"We need to wait for them to come back. It is expected that they will go to sea for the eighth time in the [-]th year of Xuande."

Hu Wei said.

The eighth voyage to the West?

"But something happened in the first month of the tenth year of Xuande, and the sky fell!"

Hu Xi choked up and said: "The matter was shelved and no one mentioned it again, and the actual records were not recorded."

"Even if the late emperor dies, the Zhengtong Dynasty can still sail to the West. Why not?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

This forces Hu Xi to make a choice.

"Can't get off!"

"Your Majesty, until the world is cleansed, I advise you to give up the idea of ​​going to sea!"

"Otherwise, I won't be able to protect you!"

Hu Hui made a real confession.

Sure enough, it has something to do with going to sea.

Is it simply because of money?
No.

Because going to sea harmed the interests of the gentry, even if the gentry followed the fleet to make money, they would firmly oppose the court going to sea.There are many reasons, but the bottom line is: class decline.

On the one hand, it led to the decline of the social status of the gentry, the improvement of the status of maritime merchants, and the loss of status.

Secondly, there was more money on the market and the money in the hands of the gentry depreciated.

Thirdly, the emperor on the voyages to the West lived alone and gradually escaped the control of the gentry. Moreover, the gentry would be replaced by the newly rising maritime merchant class and would be kicked out of the long river of history like a clan.

Fourthly, people's minds have changed. Once it is easier to make a living on the sea, the servants and maids serving in their homes will have other thoughts. Even the tenant farmers want to make a living on the sea.

five to...

There are too many reasons to list.

Therefore, Emperor Xuanzong, who was preparing for his eighth voyage to the West, died suddenly.

Emperor Xuanzong, who originally controlled the world, would not be like King Mobei, who caused trouble in Tumu Fort as soon as he mentioned his voyage to the West.

There is another important reason.

In September of the ninth year of Xuande.

Emperor Xuanzong returned to Beijing from a border patrol. He believed that private service in the world was very serious and wanted to completely reorganize the army.

This caused the nobles to be frightened and abandon Emperor Xuanzong.

The emperor even lost his base and died unjustly.

And when Emperor Xuanzong handed these spies to Zhu Qizhen, did it mean that he had guessed the outcome, so he hoped to use these nails to protect Zhu Qizhen.

Then what role did Emperor Xuanzong’s biological mother, Empress Dowager Zhang, play?

During her seven years in power, she never mentioned going to the West.

However, nobles quickly fell into decline, and private warfare became common;

The army's combat effectiveness declined rapidly;
Civil officials gradually came to power;

It all started when she came to power.

Did she realize Emperor Xuanzong's mistake and start to make up for it by letting go of private service?Are the benefits at sea also exchanged for compromises from civilian officials?

Or should I say, she is simply a bad person!

"I have a child, but I have a fatal weakness, right?"

Zhu Qiyu slowly retreated to the chair, his eyes deep.

"Your Majesty, you are so straightforward in what you do. Others don't need to guess, they know what you are thinking."

Hu Hui smiled bitterly: "Just because you are pure in mind does not mean that everyone in the world is pure."

If you want to be an emperor, you have to be smarter than everyone in the world;

More sinister than anyone else in the world;
A good emperor is the one who is worse than the people in the world.

"Hu Hu, I have been pretending for seven years, but I also want to be a steadfast king."

"I want to be a happy king."

"At least let me enjoy it for a few decades?"

"Zhao Gou has been enjoying happiness for decades, don't I deserve it?"

"The results of it?"

"I want to be a faint king, but they don't agree either!"

"I must die!"

"Then what choice do I have?"

Stop pretending, let’s show your cards!
Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "Since I will die no matter what I do, why not die vigorously?"

"Take them all to death!"

The death of Emperor Xuanzong made him understand the truth that he must catch one end and beat the other.

We must not offend both sides.

If he wanted to rectify the gentry, he had to capture Wu Xun's heart and at the same time, he had to compromise with the civil officials.

Make many friends and few enemies.

Words of wisdom.

"Your Majesty, you can't always say unlucky words."

"Wind horses and cloud chariots, wandering solemnly."

"Gods are everywhere. If you say more auspicious words, the gods will be angry when they hear them."

Hu Hui smiled bitterly and said: "As long as you don't open the sea, there is room for relaxation and it will not be in the way."

To put it bluntly, Xungui also accepted bribes from maritime merchants.

Once the emperor forced the sea to open.

You will be abandoned by your nobles in an instant.

All military elites will betray the emperor.

Zhu Qiyu became a loner.

It is also strange that the seven voyages to the West were done too well and did not provide any benefits to the courtiers and people. As a result, both the court and the people were opposed to the opening of the sea.

Even if Zhu Qiyu wants to promise, who will believe it?
You have to take your time.

"Even if you want to open the sea, you won't be able to do it within ten years."

Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "It's too early to say this."

Then you are still rectifying Jiangxi and Guangdong?

Isn't this a sign that the sea is about to open?
Hu Xi sighed, as long as there is no large-scale construction of ocean-going ships, there is room for relaxation, and there should be.

Once a sea ship is built, the gentry and the emperor will have to fight, and one of them will fall down.

"Old Master, you said that the late emperor buried so many nails, why did he still die?"

This is what Zhu Qiyu wants to ask most.

Emperor Xuanzong's factory guards were so strict, so why did he kill himself?

He also set up factory guards on a large scale.

Will it happen again?
Hu Hui kowtowed and replied: "Your Majesty, people's hearts are unpredictable."

Loyalty also has a degree.

That is to say, since he reuses Wu Xun, he must continue to transfer benefits to Wu Xun to satisfy Wu Xun, instead of killing as before.

"Isn't the family relationship trustworthy?" Zhu Qiyu asked, was Empress Dowager Zhang the one who assassinated the late emperor?
Emperor Xuanzong was not Zhu Qizhen.

He controls the world. Even if the gentry hates him extremely and rebels against him, it is impossible to defeat the enemy with one move.

There must be an internal agent in the palace. This internal agent is of a very high level and can make Emperor Xuanzong obedient.

There are really two people in this palace, one is the late Empress Dowager Zhang, and the other is the Empress Dowager Sheng.

The former is the one with the greatest profit.

Your Majesty, are you crazy?
Empress Dowager Zhang is the biological mother of Emperor Xuanzong, even though the tiger is poisonous and will not eat its children!
Hu Xi opened her mouth in shock and quickly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please don't think otherwise. The palace is peaceful and no one dares to harm the late emperor!"

"The weather was calm, but the late emperor suddenly died suddenly."

Zhu Qiyu was thinking about whether Hu Hui didn't know or didn't dare to tell.

But there was one person who could give him the answer.

"That's all, let's not talk about the late emperor."

Hu Hui wiped the sweat from her forehead and stopped coughing. The fenghan was healed.

"Old Master, do you think these nails can serve me?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"His Majesty."

"These people should have served His Majesty, but they were manipulated by King Mobei."

"As long as you find them, they will be happy to serve you."

Hu Xi asked for a trick.

This kind of person cannot be kept.

But he doesn't say it.

"But I'm not worried."

Zhu Qiyu said quietly: "That's all, since the old master begged for mercy, then after a strict trial, organize these people and send them as envoys to the Western Regions for me."

You are really ruthless. If you don't kill yourself, you will throw them to the Western Regions to work for you and exhaust them to death.

“How much do you think the list is missing?”

Hu Xin frowned: "I thought that the late Emperor Long Yu Bintian was here before."

"The first thing that is on my mind is opening up the sea, and the second is rectifying private affairs."

"So there must be nails among the merchants in southern Zhejiang, and there are also the nobles in the mansion."

It’s almost the same as Zhu Qiyu guessed.

Yuan Bin is smart enough to take out some useless people.

Leave the important parts behind.

And in the patrol camp.

Cao Jixiang's eyes turned red: "Go and bring Yuan Bin's mother out!"

Yuan Bin was also brought up: "Battle Superintendent, I have handed in the list and told you everything I know. What else do you want to do?"

He didn't sleep for three days, and when he was thrown back into the cell, he fell asleep.

When he saw that his mother had also been arrested, his whole body collapsed.

"What are you doing? Have fun with you!"

Cao Jixiang was reprimanded by the emperor again, and he felt an evil fire in his heart.

Yuan Bin's mother was stripped of her clothes.

Standing in front of Yuan Bin.

Yuan Bin closed his eyes and screamed miserably.

The old lady wanted to commit suicide by hitting the wall, but was caught by the campers and pinned on the wooden donkey.

"Open his eyes! Let him watch!" Cao Jixiang shouted.

"You're not a fucking human! You're not a human!" Yuan Bin's eyes were so bloodshot that they almost burst out of their sockets.

"My supervisor is a eunuch, so he is a bitch."

Cao Jixiang laughed strangely: "When your mother finishes her performance, it will be your wife's turn. Tsk tsk, your wife doesn't look very good, but my concubine is pretty good."

Yuan Bin screamed loudly.

What responded to him was his mother's screams and humiliating cries.

"I've handed over everything, why do you still treat me like this?"

Snapped!
As soon as Yuan Bin finished speaking, Cao Jixiang whipped him: "You still dare to talk nonsense? What did you pay?"

"The list!"

Snapped!
Cao Jixiang whipped him again: "How dare you fucking lie to me?"

clap clap clap!
He pumped desperately.

Yuan Bin is not afraid of torture at all.

"Pull out his wife!" Cao Jixiang was furious.

Yuan Bin was stunned: "No, it's impossible. It's in a box three feet under the floor of my house. There's a cabinet above it. Did you find it wrong? Did you find it wrong?"

"The governor searched your house all over, dug three feet into the ground, and found a box!"

cheated!
Yuan Bin's eyes widened, he was deceived!

He was deceived by King Mobei!

The list that King Mobei gave him contained some missing items.

It turned out that he had been used by King Mobei all along, but he didn't know it.

Yuan Bin smiled miserably: "I said, I only have this list, do you believe it?"

Cao Jixiang went crazy: "Pick a few dirty guys in and let them enjoy the wives of hundreds of adults!"

Bang!
But at this moment, Yuan Bin's mother took advantage of the camper's relaxation and slammed into the wall. Her head was broken and her blood flowed, and she died.

"Mother! Mother!" Yuan Bin screamed.

The whole person is crazy.

Then he broke down and cried.

Yuan Bin's father, Yuan Zhong, was the spy chosen by the late emperor.

From the moment he was born, Yuan Bin was destined to be loyal to the emperor, so King Mobei chose him as his bodyguard.

From the moment he was born, his parents taught him to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, and they continued to instill in him.

He did it.

He suffered a lot, but he didn't care.

Because he knows his mission.

But today, he was stabbed in the back for the second time!

The man to whom he was loyal deserted him for the second time.

He could understand abandoning him for the first time.

But King Mobei gave him an incomplete list and kicked him out as a scapegoat. He couldn't understand it at all.

Why?

During his one year in Mobei, he took great care of her;
Six years after returning to Beijing, he suffered humiliation;

What is he drawing?

On the night of seizing the door, he did not participate, so he escaped. However, he did one thrilling thing after another for King Mobei.

As a result, what did you get?
My mother was ravaged to death!
The wife was still screaming.

He is also about to die!

Is this his end?
"Hahaha!"

Yuan Bin smiled miserably: "Why? Why?"

But you can backstab me, you can betray me, but I can't be unfaithful!

He put his tongue under his teeth and pushed hard.

I will never be such a person in my next life...

Snapped!
Cao Jixiang slapped him in the face: "Want to die? It's not that easy!"

"Say! Where is the real list?"

Cao Jixiang did not beat him, but asked someone to bring his son in.

"I only have this list in my hand!" Yuan Bin cried.

The man did not cry easily because he did not reach the sad spot.

A little child saw his mother being...

Yuan Bin was tied up, watching this tragedy.

This is the cruelest thing in the world.

"really!"

Yuan Bin begged: "Master Camp Governor, please, don't let my son see it... It's too, too cruel!"

"Do you still know about cruelty?"

Cao Jixiang pointed at his son: "He will be the next one to die!"

Yuan Bin has a son and a daughter.

What he fears most is his daughter who is under ten years old.

Her smile was so innocent.

"Really, I only have one copy in my hand, nothing else!" Yuan Bin couldn't even think about dying, so he could only endure it all.

Anger built in his chest.

This feeling of helplessness that nothing could be done was about to ignite him.

And in Hubei, Xiaogan.

Nian Fu is inspecting the harvest situation here.

Both lakes were exempted from taxes.

But there are too few people, and a large number of people are needed to fill them.

The kings were forcibly conscripted into Beijing, which released a large number of people, but it was far from enough to fill Hubei.

The fleet escorting the silver needed to transport supplies along the way.

Nian Fu didn't have to do this himself.

But Nian Fu received Zhu Yi's letter and was very interested in the wolf soldiers.

The emperor's imperial edicts to the world were all received, and the Guangxi native soldiers were called wolf soldiers.

The fleet anchored at the port at the intersection of the Lun River and the Maxi River.

When Nianfu arrived on horseback, it was already dark.

Zhu Yi invited him to board the ship, and the two sides met with each other.

"Escort Yin Liang to the capital. It's inconvenient for me to get off the ship. Please don't be offended, Governor Nian," Zhu Yi said.

After exchanging pleasantries.

"Cheng Guogong, as much as Guangxi's population is, Hubei can eat it." The rich man has a big appetite.

Hubei has been hit by disasters and rebellions year after year, causing Hubei, which was once prosperous, to become desolate.

"Lord Governor, the wolf soldiers are not very good either."

Zhu Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Maybe when we get off the ship in Hubei, we will get cholera in Hubei."

"Don't be afraid. Our Hubei wife is beautiful, virtuous and capable. If you marry one, I'm sure they won't want their parents anymore."

Nianfu laughed.

Nian Fu has been comforting the refugees since he came to Hubei for half a year.

But there are many bandits in Hubei, and he does not have enough troops, so he can only suppress them bit by bit. He may not be able to finish them off in ten years.

So he is very envious of the wolf soldiers.

Zhu Yi couldn't help laughing: "Since your Majesty gave them the name Wolf Soldiers, you just want them to leave Guangxi and populate the provinces."

"Now that Guangxi is pacified, Governor Fang is also anxious to get rid of these hot potatoes."

"I see that the weather in Hubei is getting colder. If too many people are resettled, it will be a waste of money and food."

Nian Fu looked highly at Zhu Yi.

No wonder this man who was able to escape from the emperor's butcher's knife did have two brushes.

"What Duke Cheng Guo said is true."

"The governor will tell you straight, the Hubei Guardsmen are really rotten and it is difficult to fight."

"So the governor is short of soldiers, and wolf soldiers are the best choice. They are enough for me to pacify the numerous bandits."

It’s hard to be rich in old age.

Zhu Yi said, "Governor Nian, don't think too highly of the wolf soldiers. These soldiers are indeed capable of fighting, but when it comes to harming the common people, each one is more ruthless than the last."

"Once the center knows about it, I'm afraid you will also have to eat Gua Luo'er."

"We still need to have strong soldiers to suppress them. Those who don't obey will be killed directly until they are afraid."

"Otherwise, they are all thorny and can do anything. They are not human beings at all, they are all beasts."

Nianfu stroked his beard and smiled: "Xie Chengguo Gong reminds me."

Only then did Zhu Yi remember that the emperor's ability to hand over a province to Nian Fu meant that he was extremely talented. Wouldn't people understand this little thing?

"It's just that I'm very good at what I do."

"Hahaha, Duke Cheng Guo kindly reminds me, and I will certainly appreciate it."

Nianfu was in a good mood and suggested having a drink.

Zhu Yi was also greedy for wine. Drinking was not allowed in the army and he had not drank for a long time.

"It's extremely important to escort the silver. I don't dare to drink. Please forgive me, Governor Nian." Zhu Yi cupped her hands and said with a smile.

"Pity."

Nian Fu asked: "Are there 1 people on this ship?"

"some."

"When Duke Cheng returns, can most of these 1 people be left with Hubei? I will be grateful afterwards."

There is a real shortage of people who are rich in old age.

When I see someone, my eyes turn blue.

"I don't want to thank you very much. Please ask Governor Nian to write to your Majesty and your Majesty will agree." Zhu Yi was not worried that Nian Fu would not be able to control these natives.

"Mr. Cheng Guo is so happy!"

The old man was smiling happily, thinking that if he had seven or eight thousand wolf soldiers, he would then select the best from the guard soldiers to gather 1 people.

We can destroy the hills near the city first, and then the remote ones next year.

In two years at most, there will be no bandits in Hubei.

Turn these bandits into farmers, and Hubei will settle down.

We are chatting.

A messenger came in hurriedly: "Sir, there seems to be bandits on the river!"

Zhu Yi immediately frowned: "Can you see clearly?"

"It's dark, so I can't see clearly, but the sound is correct, but I don't know how many there are?"

Zhu Yi looked at Nian Fu.

"That's not right. All the river bandits around here have been wiped out. I, the governor, personally fought this battle."

Nian Fu immediately realized: "Could it be that you brought it from Jiangxi?"

These words reminded Zhu Yi.

Zhu Yi looked at the person brought by Nianfu with suspicion in her eyes.

"Don't worry, they are all from the governor, not spies." Nian Fu was very sure.

"Then they can really endure it. They dare to come here after traveling so far from Jiangxi?"

"I thought they had any special abilities, but it turned out they were just plundering!"

Judging from Zhu Yi's tone, it sounds like she has been prepared for it?

"Hahaha, don't hide your years from the governor."

Zhu Yi smiled and said: "Before leaving the port, I made an agreement with Admiral Jin. The silver on my ship is just bait to catch them."

Nian Fu felt that Zhu Yi underestimated the enemy.

"If you are a river bandit, you must be good at water fighting. Although the wolf soldiers are strong in combat, their legs are weak on the river. How can they fight?"

Nianfu was right.

The reason why the fleet was so slow was because some of the soldiers were severely seasick.

Although coming from Guangxi, it is also a boat trip.

But the soldiers were seasick.

If we really want to have a water war, ten soldiers can't defeat a water ghost.

"Isn't this the shore..."

Zhu Yi didn't finish his words.

A messenger came in hurriedly: "My lord, something's wrong, a ship has been scuttled!"

Zhu Yi's face changed slightly: "You just reported it, didn't you get close to the fleet?"

Nian Fu slapped his forehead.

Of course, in a water war, you first send water ghosts to chisel the ship. You don’t understand this bit of common sense?

This Zhu Yi is a idiot!

"Quick, summon the soldiers from Xiaogan Guard Station, quick!" Nian Fu remained calm in the face of danger, thinking about how to lure the enemy ashore and take advantage of the wolf soldiers.

But Zhu Yi looked stupid and seemed to be still enjoying herself.

This idiot...

Nian Fu doesn’t want to complain about him anymore.
