Daming: The self-explosion is a false eunuch, and the Empress Dowager is crazy

Chapter 095

Lu Yu sat on the desk in the study.

The bandage tied around his arm has also been removed.

Fortunately, after the reinforcement of the Overlord template, that bullet did not hurt the bone.

Luo Yangli sat opposite Lu Yu.

“How much do you know about Cui Yingyuan, and those black industries behind him?”

Lu Yu asked while drinking tea while looking at Luo Yangzhi.

Luo Yangli has been in Jinyiwei for many years, and he is also Luo Sigong’s son, so he is naturally a little clearer about the inside story of Jinyiwei.

This point is incomparable to Lu Jian and others.

So Lu Yu found Luo Yangli at the first time.

At this time, Luo Yangli already knew that he had taken up Cui Yingyuan’s Jinyiwei command position.

For Lu Yu, he is even more respectful and grateful.

“Sir, Cui Yingyuan is Wei Zhongxian’s third person in Jinyiwei.”

“The main thing is to Ti Wei Zhongxian to control all the black industries in the capital.”

“These industries include, green buildings, gambling houses, transportation, and smuggling, several relatively large industries.”

“Cui Yingyuan has two brothers.”

“One is called Cui Yinghu and the other is Cui Yingxiong, and the two are in charge of the green building and the gambling house in the capital.”

“As for Caoyun, it is in the hands of a Cao gang, and it is not clear what the specific leader of the Cao Gang is called.”

“I only know that the transportation in the capital is all monopolized by the Caogang.”

“In addition to the green building, the gambling house, the transportation and smuggling.”

“Private salt, iron ore, tea, porcelain, all of these things.”

“These are some of the larger ones, and some of them are relatively small.”

“Such as human teeth, counterfeit medicines, and so on.”

“And as far as his subordinates know, Wei Zhongxian also has a smuggling fleet in Nanjing.”

Luo Yangli said.

Lu Yu noted while listening, and then asked, “Wei Zhongxian, how many silver taels will these black incomes have in a year?” ”

Luo Yangzhi shook his head and said: “How many there are, I’m afraid only Wei Zhongxian and Cui Yingyuan know.”

“But according to the estimates and extrapolations of subordinates, at least millions of taels of silver a year.”

Luo nurturing several ways.

Millions of taels?

Lu Yu’s eyes widened immediately.

Millions of taels of silver! What is this concept?

The tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty was only more than 30 million taels of silver a year.

This is still a lot of times.

Now the annual tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty is estimated to not even have 20 million silver.

The money is completely beyond your means.

Liaodong, the military expenses on the coast, provide for the sect office, suppress the rebellion and bandits.

No wonder the Emperor of the Apocalypse gave Wei Zhongxian power to make money, this Wei Zhongxian is really a money bag.

But then again, the Ming Dynasty was indeed poor.

But only the Ming Dynasty was poor.

The wealth of the Ming Dynasty was not in the people, not in the state, but all in the hands of officials and royalty.

Li Zicheng broke through the capital, and in just three days, he abruptly used a stick to clamp out 80 million taels of silver, which is more than three years of tax revenue for Daming.

In addition, Chongzhen’s private treasury alone had 20 million taels of silver and 37 million taels of gold.

Chongzhen is not poor, the ministers of the dynasty are not poor, and none of those royal relatives and state relatives are poor.

Only the state is poor.

After Houjin entered the customs, he swept hundreds of millions of dollars from the hands of Nanfang Shidafu with a butcher’s knife.

Is Daming really poor?

Actually, not poor.

“You return to Jinyiwei today, and tomorrow you will investigate all of Cui Yingyuan’s industries, and within three days, this official will want Cui Yingyuan to control all the industries.”

Lu Yu looked at Luo Yangli and said.

Luo Yangzhi nodded: “Oh, the subordinates guarantee to complete.”

……

Lu Yu’s front foot just sent Luo Yangli away.

The hind-footed green dragon will come to the want.

“My lord, the woman who was being detained said that there was something important to do with the adult.”

Qinglong said.

“Oh?”

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows, it seems that Ding Baiying has figured it out.

“Got it.”

“Go ahead, bring Ding Baiying.”

Lu Yu instructed.

Qinglong said yes and then led the way.

It didn’t take long for Ding Baiying to be taken to Lu Yu’s study.

The maid brought the freshly brewed tea leaves and placed them in front of Ding Baiying.

“Figured it out?”

Lu Yu looked at Ding Baiying and asked.

Ding Baiying nodded: “It’s not like figuring it out, but I agree with it.”

Lu Yu smiled.

“Well, in that case, what the official wants to know, I think you also know.”

LU Yudao.

Ding Baiying nodded again.

“I’ll tell you what I know, but don’t keep any hope for it, because my relationship with the White Lotus Sect is only a cooperative relationship, and I don’t know much.”

“And there are some things I don’t know.”

“That Chen Hui you saw in the palace is fake, her identity is the Holy Daughter of the White Lotus Sect, named Tang Yuer.”

Ding Baiying said.

Tang Yuer?

“What about really Chen Hui?”

“Who sent this Holy Daughter of the White Lotus Sect to the palace?”

“With your abilities, you don’t have that ability.”

Lu Yu asked one after another.

Ding Baiying nodded and said: “You are right, we do not have this ability, if there were, the emperor would not live today.”

“But who this person you are talking about, I don’t know, maybe only the people of the White Lotus Sect know.”

“The reason why I cooperated with the people of the White Lotus Sect was because someone found me and said that they could change the world today.”

“Later I learned that I wanted to cooperate with the White Lotus Sect, but I didn’t care if they were a cult or what, I just wanted to do what I did.”

Ding Baiying said.

Lu Yu frowned.

Ding Baiying also didn’t know who was behind the scenes?

“Then have you ever seen the person who matched your cooperation with the White Lotus Sect, or rather, have you ever guessed who the other party is?”

Lu Yu asked.

“Never seen, guessed.”

Ding Baiying said: “This person should be a sect and has an extremely high status, this person has a group of extremely loyal subordinates, ministers of the dynasty, and even military generals in charge of the army.”

“And this person’s information is extremely accurate and well-informed, and he can know everything in the wind.”

“On the night that Tang Yuer was exposed in the palace, we received news of the extinction of the Chen family.”

“And you found Tang Cai’er’s traces, and then we got the news before we could ambush you.”

“The dragon boat was sent by that person, and the assassins on the dragon boat were also arranged by this person.”

“And Tang Yuer can replace Chen Hui into the palace, all arranged by this person.”

The more Ding Baiying said, the tighter Lu Yu’s brows became.

A person’s name had already appeared in Lu Yu’s mind.

“Do you suspect that it is King Xin?”

Lu Yu looked at Ding Baiying and asked.

Ding Baiying nodded: “What you said before, I didn’t think about it, if the emperor dies, the most likely person to succeed to the throne is King Xin Zhu Youzhen.”

“So I suspect it’s him, but can’t be sure.”

It was not for nothing that Ding Baiying suspected that King Zhu Youzhen was in doubt.

Because Lu Yu knew very well that once Zhu Youxiao died, the successor to the throne must be Zhu Youzhen, the king of Xin.

Zhu Youzhen also has a reason, a motive, and the ability to manipulate all this.

Is it really him?

“That Holy Daughter of the White Lotus Sect you mentioned, Tang Yuer, knows who is behind the scenes?”

Lu Yu asked.

……

Ding Baiying shook her head: “I’m just guessing, but I’m not sure.”

“Tang Yu’er is a descendant of Tang Saier, because she was born with a lotus mark on her chest, she was pushed to the position of the Holy Daughter of the White Lotus Sect, and she and Xu Hongru are both leaders of the White Lotus Sect.”

“Oh yes, Xu Hongru is not actually dead.”

“Yang Zhaoji didn’t kill Xu Hongru himself, I heard about it.”

“What you saw in the market that day was very similar to Tang Yu’er was not Tang Yuer, but Tang Yuer’s sister, Tang Caier.”

The amount of information about Ding Baiying’s words was a bit large, which made Lu Yu digest it for a while.

The first is Tang Saier, one of the leaders of the White Lotus Sect, who led the White Lotus Sect uprising during the Yongle period.

Wife of Tang Saier Lin San.

After Lin San’s death, it is said that Tang occasionally obtained a stone box with a sword and soldier book inside, and Tang learned the magic and art of war after studying, and gathered thousands of people in the name of spreading the White Lotus Sect.

Yu Yongle started an incident in February of the eighteenth year in Yidu.

Tang Sai’er was not taken seriously at the beginning of the uprising, until Tang Saier completely annihilated the army that came to besiege and killed Gao Feng, the commander of Qingzhou.

The death of the commander of Qingzhou Capital made Tang Saier’s reputation suddenly reach its peak.

……

Then people everywhere responded.

At that time, Zhu Di knew that the elite troops of the Jing Division were led by Liu Sheng, the commander-in-chief of An Yuanhou, and Liu Zhong, the commander of Du.

Liu was born in Liu Zhong, and the two fought with many powerful people and surrounded the Tang Saier cottage.

But Tang Saier pretended to surrender and took the opportunity to attack the officials and troops at night.

The Ming army was in chaos, and Liu Zhong was killed in battle.

Tang Saier broke through.

Tang’s troops captured Juzhou, Jimo and other places, and then surrounded Anqiu, which was simply turned upside down.

However, there is no doubt about Zhu Di’s force during the Yongle period, as long as Zhu Di is really serious, any uprising will definitely be suppressed.

Tang Saier is no exception.

Tang Saier’s department was finally defeated and eliminated by Wei Qing, the commander of Shandong Capital.

But what made Zhu Di angry was that Tang Saier, as well as leaders such as Bin Hong and Dong Yangao, fled safely and disappeared.

Zhu Di was furious, sent Liu Sheng, the Marquis of Anyuan, to prison, and executed all Shandong political envoys, councilors, deputy envoys, deputy envoys, and county officials who had revolted on the charge of conniving at thieves.

For a while, it was also a river of blood to kill.

Unexpectedly, Tang Saier not only did not die, but also left descendants.

And also inherited her “great business.”

“You said it was the fake Chen Hui’s sister who was on the street that day?”

“She also has a sister?”

Lu Yu was shocked, it turned out that the one that day was not Tang Yuer, but Tang Yuer’s sister.

“If what you said is true, that Tang Yu’er is still in the palace?”

Lu Yu looked at Ding Baiying.

“Yes, she is most likely still in the palace, but I don’t know where she is hiding.”

“This is only for you to find yourself.”

Ding Baiying said: “But I reckon, you will be difficult to find.”

Lu Yu knew what Ding Baiying meant.
