Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 172 The movement of brocade clothes
As the throat of the capital, without knowing it, the British Duke Zhang Weixian commanded the Xunwei, Yongweiying, and Zhulingwei to take over the city defense of Tongzhou. When the situation in Tongzhou was effectively controlled, Cui Chengxiu, the right concubine of Zhan Shifu, made a clear inspection of the warehouse. On the occasion of the event, a group of mausoleum guards stationed in Wiyao Town, Hexi. At the same time, involving various matters in Tongzhou, Wang Tigansun, who was accompanied by the imperial edict, sent secret personnel to the three guards in Tianjin...

"Your Majesty! Tongzhou is the throat of the capital and the hub of water transportation between the country and the dynasty. Even if the warehouses are inspected, Tongzhou should not be sealed off. This move will not only panic people in the capital, but also affect the entire capital. .”

"What the First Assistant said is very good. Your Majesty, please think twice before you act. I know that Your Majesty is concerned about the people's livelihood in the capital, but this move will spread rumors among the people."

"I hope that your Majesty will keep in mind the foundation of the country and please issue an order to withdraw the Xunwei, Yongweiying and Zhulingwei who have taken over Tongzhou..."

Outside the Qianqing Palace, the cabinet's chief assistant Fang Congzhe, second assistant Liu Yishui, group assistants Han Xu, He Zongyan, Shen and Shi Jikai knelt on the ground and shouted into the palace with different expressions.

Tongzhou was taken over by Zhu Youxiao, and strict inspections of the warehouses began. This move spread to various places inside and outside the capital in a very short period of time. After all, such things rarely happened before, and they never even happened again. It happened before, but now not only has it happened, but Zhu Youxiao also wants to get to the bottom of it, which makes many people unable to sit still.

The various noises coming from outside the hall did not affect Zhu Youxiao.

"While the British Army is in Tongzhou, the three major camps must strictly implement the camp ban system."

Zhu Youxiao sat on the throne, looked at Sun Chengzong, the assistant commander of the Rongzheng in the capital camp, and said: "If anyone dares to leave his post without permission during this period, or leave the camp without authorization, he will be treated as a deserter during wartime.

I will keep all the gates and defenses in the inner and outer cities in place. After the strict inspection of the warehouses in Tongzhou is completed, and there is no problem in the streets inside and outside the capital, I will allocate three months of rewards from the internal funds. "

"The minister obeys the order!"

Sun Chengzong hurriedly bowed and responded.

"The investigation of Yousi's deficit does not need to be affected by the situation in Gyeonggi Province. It will be investigated when it needs to be investigated, and it will be tried when it needs to be tried. I still don't believe it. Evil can suppress good?!"

Zhu Youxiao looked at Bi Ziyan and Zhu Guozuo, and his words were a bit harsh, "This farce of grain prices in Gyeonggi being driven up by people with ulterior motives, trying to take this opportunity to influence the court situation is simply ridiculous in my eyes." Extremely.

None of them thought about it. The imperial palaces under the jurisdiction of the inner court were spread all over the northern Zhili territory. Before that, I had inspected the imperial palaces and shops and killed many scum.

Short of food?What a big joke!
I originally wanted to see who was behind it, but I didn't expect that the warehouse set up by the imperial court was the first to be found out. Okay, that's great! "

Faced with what the emperor said, Zhu Guozuo, Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong, Zhang Qingzhen, Wei Shitai and other civil and military officials standing in the hall all showed different expressions and had thousands of thoughts.

Everyone knew that the emperor was really angry this time.

Otherwise, an edict would not have been issued to send Xunwei, Yongweiying, and Zhulingwei to take over the defense of Tongzhou City.

Otherwise, the imperial city Miyagi would not be under full martial law.

"Uncle Hui'an, Uncle Xuancheng."

Zhu Youxiao's cold voice made Zhang Qingzhen and Wei Shitai startled. They bowed to the emperor and said, "I'm waiting."

"I will immediately go directly to the imperial guards and select thousands of elite soldiers."

Zhu Youxiao's eyes were sharp and he said: "Clearly clarify the subordinates at all levels, and assign them to various gates inside and outside the capital to be responsible for supervision and inspection. It is not the decree issued by me, and no one or officials have the right to dispatch them."

"The ministers obey the order."

The two of them suppressed their surprise and immediately bowed in response.

"Think twice, Your Majesty."

Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Household Affairs, stepped forward and said: "The situation in the capital is very serious now. If your Majesty, when you order the Xunwei, Yongweiying, and Zhulingwei to take over Tongzhou, strictly investigate everything in the warehouse, then..."

"The Qing family does not need to persuade you any more." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "I have my own reasons for doing this. It is precisely under such chaos that decisive measures need to be taken.

If chaos occurs in the capital, the country will be in chaos.

Okay, all the gentlemen, please go down and do your work. I have other things to deal with. This is such a special situation. I hope that you, gentlemen, can share my worries and worry about the country. "

The various arrangements made by Zhu Youxiao are actually a set of combination punches.

On the one hand, it must effectively act as a deterrent to prevent anyone from wanting to take advantage of the situation to provoke riots and then affect the stability of the capital. After all, the main forces of the Xishan and Fengtai camps have left the capital to aid Liaoning. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being careful and cautious.

On the one hand, it is necessary to create a tense atmosphere so that the lurking Jianlu hidden stakes will move accordingly. Even if the enemy is hiding and we are in the light, as long as there are traces left, something can be detected.

On the one hand, it is necessary to create a trend of closing the door and beating the dog...

"Your Majesty, Governor Ji Liao has an urgent report."

Just as Bi Ziyan and the others left, Liu Ruoyu walked into Dongnuang Pavilion with his head lowered, holding a secret memorial in his hand. Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

It became.

After seeing the urgent report from the king in Jin, Zhu Youxiao showed a smile. The military preparations under the jurisdiction of Governor Ji Liao, under the command of the military preparation officers, entered Changping, Shunyi, Liangxiang, Fangshan, Wuqing, In Sanhe and other important places in the capital, grain merchants who were found by Jinyiwei to deliberately drive up grain prices were seized...

"Draft a decree as soon as possible and send it to the Governor's Office of Jiliao."

Zhu Youxiao closed the urgent report and said with a faint smile: "The Qing family will be responsible for the investigation of grain merchants in Gyeonggi Province, and all the copies will be dispatched by the Jiliao Governor's Office to pay off the arrears of military pay. We need to appease the guards...but I don’t want any trouble to occur in various parts of Gyeonggi.”

Liu Ruoyu jotted it down in his mind.

"In addition, go to the Jinyi Guards Office to convey my instructions to Luo Sigong."

Zhu Youxiao continued: "Those grain merchants in various places inside and outside the capital, who have deliberately raised grain prices in the past, no matter who they are, no matter who is behind them, will be sealed up by me, and all those people will be arrested in Shuntian Mansion Prison .”

"The slaves obey the order."

Liu Ruoyu was startled and hurriedly bowed in response.

Either don’t do it, or if you want to do it, just do it.

Zhu Youxiao used his methods and means to cut through the farce of grain prices in Gyeonggi Province again and again, allowing Cui Chengxiu, Zhang Weixian, Chen Qiyu, Wang Zaijin, Luo Sigong, Sun Chuanting and others to focus on one issue respectively, and then achieve effective results. The political purpose of cutting off control.

In this way, even if there is a problem in one link, it will not affect other levels.

"Your Majesty~"

Not long after Liu Ruoyu left, Wei Liangqing walked into Dongnuan Pavilion with his head lowered. He leaned forward against Zhu Youxiao on the soft cushions and picked up the tea cup in his hand. "There are two things you need to do. One is to go find Li Ruolian. Tell him that when Luo Sigong sealed up the grain merchants in the capital, he spread the news that some grain merchants had an affair with Jianlu Hidden Zhuang. After the matter was settled, he secretly left the capital and rushed to Xuanfu Town to inform him of the situation in the capital. Wei Banban."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Wei Liangqing hurriedly bowed and responded.
