Chapter 733: Betrayal
Gu Wang Ye laughed at him: "What a lot of work is it to move the capital, do you think it's so easy?"
Zhu Changxi stiffened his body and put forward his immature suggestion: "We are also surnamed Zhu, I have long thought that we can move the capital back." Then Jinling changed to respond to Tianfu. In that case, we'll be lively again here. And the Tatars are also far away. In the area south of the Yangtze River, how pleasant, the province is threatened by Tartar soldiers in such a barren place as the north. β
Zhu Wangye smiled, pointed to the old men beside him, and said, "You can ask them if they agree." β
These words are obviously satirizing Zhu Changxi.
Again.
Zhu Changxi was not very happy and lowered his head.
When he was a child, he said something naΓ―ve, and his father would always wake him up in this way.
He stopped talking.
Zhu Wangye said: "We have gone through several lifetimes before we have established ourselves in Jiangnan. Now the Jiangsu area is our home and our own territory. If you move the capital, everything will be broken. Will we still sleep soundly? At that time, it will be easy for the Empress Dowager to kill us whenever she wants. β
Wu Qinghou waved his hand: "Why does Brother Zhu say things like this? Anyway, it's good that there is nothing to do in the capital now." A few of us are also worried about it. Since it's okay, shouldn't we just rest?"
It's those brocade guards in Jinling City, which are particularly annoying.
Wu Qinghou still mentioned the matter of Jinyiwei.
Zhu Wangye just nodded, I know, but I didn't say much.
After a few days, no one said anything more.
None of them came back.
The barracks are also training as always.
Zhu Changxi listened to his father's words, if his father didn't hand over the military power, he would naturally not hand it over.
Zhu Wangye heard that Marquis Wu Qinghou said about buying and selling officials, and specially made a discount to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager had a number in her heart, and found an opportunity to order an investigation.
It doesn't matter if you don't check, a lot of people will be found when you check it.
There are a lot of things going on in the military department alone in the six departments.
The military department is now Zhu Lequan's person.
Zhu Lequan sold his official position, this is to fight for his own status.
This matter came to Jinling, and Zhu Wangye couldn't sit still.
He's going to fight back no matter what.
Among the princes of the Ming Dynasty now, those who can mercenary self-respecting and have the strength to compete in the court are not only King Kang Mian, but also Zhu Lequan, which is the Zhu family in Jinling.
The rest of the people are either too far away from the capital and their minds are not in the court, or they are plain, with no name at all, and no power at all.
So then again, Prince Zhu still has to have a battle with Zhu Lequan.
It can't be avoided.
Yan Pingnan, the righteous son of Zhu Lequan's knees, has frequently provoked Zhu Changxi.
Zhu Changxi also took this opportunity to vent the anger in his heart, and joined forces with his father to go on the fold.
Moreover, Zhu Changxi named his surname and wanted to check the book of the military department.
This guy who took other people's money but didn't do things, Zhu Changxi hated it.
The key is the military department Shangshu or Zhu Lequan's person.
In this way, the sailor built by Zhu Changxi a few days ago was sent to the capital, and finally the military power fell into the hands of the military department.
Didn't this still fall into the hands of Zhu Lequan?
He was haunted by it.
Zhu Changxi also said that he wanted to gather the strength of the entire Ming Dynasty and get rid of Zhu Lequan.
The arrow is on the string and has to be sent.
Everything is so tense.
But at this time, the Japanese people came again.
However, the imperial court handed over the task of resisting the Japanese to Yan Pingnan.
This made Zhu Changxi very incomprehensible, whether this empress dowager was old and confused.
How close is Jinling to the coast, can you use Yanpingnan to fight against the Japanese?
Zhu Wangye asked Zishan to watch the changes quietly and not to act rashly.
Anyway, there are barracks in Jinling, and there are tens of thousands of horses there, so I am not afraid of them coming.
Yan Ping came south to the coast, that is, he beat the Japanese people, and then left.
It was very peaceful, not even making trouble.
It's really weird.
When Zhu Changxi discussed with the brothers below, he couldn't help but ask: "At the beginning, this Yan Pingnan would go to a village, and he would rob the army to grab food and women, but now he will be so quiet?
There was nothing wrong, and there was no anger among the local people.
The Japanese were beaten away, and Yan Pingnan left with his soldiers.
Wu Yicheng has been collecting news, and he told Brother Zishan: "We have spies on the coastal side. When the spies came back, they all said that Yan Pingnan had left after beating the Japanese away, and there was nothing wrong with him. β
Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Gusu ......
There's nothing going on in these places.
Zhu Changxi still remembers that Yan Pingnan set up arson and robbed in order to fight the Japanese people, which caused the people to complain.
It's so abnormal right now.
From the beginning when the Empress Dowager handed over the task of resisting the Japanese to Yan Pingnan, Zhu Changxi kept muttering in his heart.
However, his father asked him to stand still, and he had no choice.
I had to swallow the bitter fruit in my heart.
He waited and waited, and it was the past few days.
The time has entered autumn again, and the people have a good harvest.
The wealthy merchants in the Jiangnan area all made a fortune, and collectively donated tens of thousands of taels of silver and sent them to Jinling.
Jinling City is now a piece of fat.
Zhu Changxi used silver to buy some soldiers and horses, and also bought armor.
Moreover, the grain transported from the south of the Yangtze River was enough for all the people in Jinling City to eat for two years.
Jinling has become a land of abundance, and people in other places are naturally red-eyed.
Zhu Lequan was smart and did not come forward in person, but asked other officials to sue Jinling at the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager is in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, it's not good not to listen.
Besides, the officials are all holding pens and waiting, if there is anything wrong with the emperor, they will immediately criticize and write, and even put pressure on the emperor and the empress dowager with their own ambitions.
There was no way, the Empress Dowager had no choice but to make an edict to let Jinling City pay 50,000 taels of silver.
Hand it over to the imperial court.
With so much silver, Zhu Changxi had to transport it personally.
It's infuriating.
Zhu Changxi was angry, but Zhu Wangye was not moved at all.
Even the rich man Li in Jiangnan regretted it, why did he have to send all the silver and grain over at once? Such an obvious thing naturally aroused jealousy.
Zhu Wangye persuaded: "Zishan, you go to the capital to send silver taels, just do your own business, don't worry about the rest." Don't pay attention to what people say to you. β
Gu Zizhong understood what his father-in-law meant, now was not the time to make a fuss.
It seems that as soon as the emperor dies, the world must be in chaos.
King Kang Mian and Zhu Lequan are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Jinling has been forced to the edge of the cliff and has to make a fuss.
When she helped Brother Zishan tidy up his clothes, she was very worried about him.
