Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 368 Undercurrent (1)

The size of the Ming Dynasty is very large, which means that even if you want to accomplish certain things, there is bound to be a certain lag, which is caused by the system itself.

Zhu Youxiao did not want to be a king who maintained the status quo, let alone a king who subjugated his country. Zhu Youxiao wanted to make the Ming Dynasty great again, and he wanted to be a king who expanded the territory. Therefore, in many things, he had to forge ahead and dare to change. He had to prepare for a rainy day. Fortunately, he had the emperor's righteous blessing, which enabled him to do certain things without thinking too much about other things.

The only person who can restrain Zhu Youxiao's hands and feet is money and food.

Fortunately, since the beginning of Yuji's ascension to the throne, Zhu Youxiao has been actively raising funds and reducing expenditures, continuously checking for a number of scum, and building an industrial field dominated by Shaofu. Although it can be said that money is spent like water, but most of the time, But you can completely ignore the expressions of foreign civil servants.

This is confidence!

Therefore, when Zhu Youxiao decides what to do, the ad hoc government agencies with the imperial power as the main body will draft plans and promote implementation as quickly as possible. During this period, Zhu Youxiao should just play the role of decision-maker and supervisor. As for the rest, choose to believe in the group he selected!

Another day.

The morning sun rises in the east, and the capital city becomes lively again after a night of silence.

A tavern somewhere in the inner city.

"Brother Tian, ​​do you think the direction of our secret investigation is wrong?"

In the private room, Xu Xianchun, who was wearing a brocade robe, frowned and said to Tian Ergeng: "Even if you want to investigate the oral smuggling case in depth, you should go to Shanxi and other places. This investigation is like a headless fly in the capital. What can you find out like this?"

"I heard that Luo Sigong, an old fox, has not been on duty at the government office in recent days. I heard that something was found. What if we..."

"It can't be wrong."

Tian Ergeng lifted his robe sleeves and calmly picked up the tea cup at hand, "Don't worry about what Luo Sigong did. It's not what we need to pay attention to now. He did his thing and we checked ours. The two have nothing to do with each other. .”

"Think about it. When we were ordered to investigate the oral smuggling case, the traitors headed by the Fan family were able to bribe so many people with gold and silver. Then wouldn't their hidden power penetrate elsewhere? Li Ruolian Do you know people?”

"I know."

Xu Xianchun looked puzzled and said: "This person was originally from a hundred households, but because he found the Jianlu hidden pile and arrested all the thieves such as Wu Changchun, he gained His Majesty's trust. Now he is not only in Jinyiwei, but also in Dongchang and Xichang. I don't even dare to offend this person."

"Yes."

Tian Ergeng said with emotion: "He suddenly became the head of the Banner School Town Fusi, taking charge of factory guards and increasing his powers. The key is that he is still so low-key."

"What does our investigation have to do with him, Li Ruolian?"

Xu Xianchun became even more confused.

"How can it be all right?"

The corner of Tian Ergen's mouth turned up slightly and he said: "Li Ruolian arrested the Jianlu secret stake in the capital city. This is what we want to repeat. Except for Fan Yongdou who absconded, I always feel that the remaining members of the Eight Thieves have not been uncovered, let alone the previous Jianlu The captives lost in Liaozuo, do you think the captives will give up and give up?"

"and many more."

Xu Xianchun opened his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand and said to Tian Ergen: "Brother Tian means... Fan Yongdou may not have escaped, but..."

Tian Ergen smiled lightly and said: "If you were you, you were born in Daming, grew up in Daming, grew up in Daming, and are familiar with everything about Daming. Would you easily choose to escape from Daming?"

You really know how to compare.

Xu Xianchun complained secretly in his heart, but then said: "What does Brother Tian mean, is Jianlu unwilling to accept it, will he punish the hidden stake again like in the pass?"

"But Brother Tian, ​​have you ever thought about it? Xiong Tingbi and the others have not been idle in Liaodong. They have uncovered many Jianlu backstabbings in Liaodong, and even traitors who were secretly in contact with Jianlu."

"So what?" Tian Ergen leaned on his official hat chair and said, "Will this affect Jianlu's condemnation of hidden stakes?"

Xu Xianchun frowned.

indeed.

The Jianlu were very ambitious, especially the slave chief Nurhachi. He became arrogant and arrogant after conquering the three guards of Jianzhou, and completely broke up with the Ming Dynasty.

If he was frightened out of his wits because of a defeat, then when he was in Hetuala, Nurhaci would not dare to ignore the majesty of the Ming Dynasty and spread the so-called seven hates.

"So Brother Tian thinks... not only Fan Yongdou fled to the capital and Gyeonggi, but even the hidden stakes condemned by Jianlu went to the capital and Gyeonggi?"

Xu Xianchun gathered his thoughts, looked at Tian Ergeng and said, "And it is very possible that the two have colluded together in secret to do something?"

"Yes."

Tian Ergeng said with great confidence.

"What's the basis for Brother Tian?"

Xu Xianchun said worriedly: "What if they didn't do this, or were not even in the capital and Gyeonggi at all, then wouldn't all the efforts we have done be in vain?"

"intuition."

Tian Ergen smiled, pointed at himself and said: "I firmly believe that my intuition is correct. Since I choose to hunt, the most important thing a hunter should have is enough patience. Whether these prey can be caught, there must be enough clues." That’s right, if this vote is done, no matter what Luo Sigong and the others do behind our backs, we will never fall behind on His Majesty’s side.”

Just rely on intuition?

This is a bit too childish.

Xu Xianchun frowned slightly. Although he didn't say anything, he secretly said in his heart that if nothing was caught in the end, things would be difficult to handle.

However, even though he thought this, Xu Xianchun also knew that at the moment, he had no better way besides trusting Tian Ergeng's intuition. After all, they were advancing and retreating together.

He had thought about getting some information from Luo Sigong before, but the people he sent out didn't get anything, so Luo Sigong was very vigilant.

"Okay, don't talk about this anymore."

Tian Ergeng glanced at Xu Xianchun and kept smiling. He stood up and walked towards the wine table in front of him, "It's a rare occasion for us to come out. How about we have a couple of drinks?"

"Ah."

Xu Xianchun nodded and responded.

In fact, in the bottom of Tian Ergen's heart, compared with his vigilance towards Luo Sigong, the one he was most vigilant about was Li Ruolian, who was in charge of the Flag School Town and Fu Division.

Too low key.

Apart from being responsible for selecting and training flag schools, Li Ruolian did very little in Jinyiwei, but Tian Ergeng always felt that Li Ruolian was not simple.

He didn't know whether he could gain anything from what he was doing, but Tian Ergen knew that if he did nothing, his status in Jinyiwei would be greatly affected in the future.

So in front of Xu Xianchun, he had to be confident enough, even if he didn't have the confidence in his heart. But at this time, he had to be sure of one thing and trust his own judgment and intuition. What Tian Ergen was doing now It is undoubtedly a big gamble, it depends on whether you can win the cards!
