This year's weather was hotter than usual, but in mid-June, I felt dry in my light shirt.

The doors and windows of the imperial study were wide open, and the eunuchs and palace ladies were standing outside the corridor.

In the wide room, except for Chu Yu and Wei Zhao who stood quietly, there was just a young man holding a fan.

Chu Yu's fingers stirred the thin piece of letter paper on the table, and said lazily in his voice: "What do you think about this?" ”

"The land south of the Yangtze River can no longer be let go." Wei Zhao lowered his head and said in a steady voice: "This matter is not aimed at the Lord of Rongning, nor Brother Han, but against you, the emperor." ”

"Oh?" Chu Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "How can you say it?" ”

"Your Majesty, this letter says that Brother Han arrived in Hangzhou on the sixth day of the first month, and then went to Yangzhou, and even ten days have not passed today, and your news has just arrived, and the excerpt that blames Brother Han for leaving the territory privately and threatening the officials in Jiangnan has come up." Wei Zhao smiled faintly and said, "These people don't want to kill Brother Han." ”

Chu Yu glanced at him sideways, and said with a deep look in his eyes: "However, Brother Han is indeed a bit too much this time, the general stationed in the border is not allowed to leave without an order, he is good, he ran from Ganzhou to Hangzhou, and he has no letter at all." ”

Wei Zhao raised his head and said with a smile: "Actually, the minister should congratulate the emperor." ”

"Oh?" Chu Yu asked with a smile.

"Brother Han is a person who values affection, the first Dingguo Gong only left such a little blood, and with this affection, Brother Han knew that he would be questioned and ran over to pursue the whereabouts of the county lord, and the emperor was so kind to Brother Han?" Wei Zhao's smile was shallow, his eyes were clear, and although his voice was light, there were many meanings inside.

Chu Yu's hand turned over the letter and paused for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "You mean to say that the Zuo family and that Qi Tianao have other thoughts?" ”

For the sake of Gu Hekui's love, Qin Mohan was so kind to Gu Xinyue, and he not only had the grace of supporting him, but also had the love of saving his life at the beginning, once something happened, no matter whether there was an edict or not, Qin Mohan would come to help regardless of a qiē.

However, there was no edict to mobilize troops, only palace chaos.

The prince is forcing the palace!

He has just ascended to the throne, and the emperor's addiction has not been enough, so he naturally can't tolerate any thoughts from the sons below, although the sons are old, they don't have the intention of letting them participate in politics at all, and they don't even agree to leave the palace to open the mansion.

It's just that although he thinks so, the courtiers below don't think so, even if he demotes the concubines to concubines, there is still an undercurrent in the capital.

At that time, Zuo Guangcheng built yì, it is not good to keep it locked up like this, it is better to let the princes go out, instead of letting the princes unite to deal with him, it is better to let those princes fight by themselves.

So when Chu Zheng offered the secret medicine he got from his mother's clan, which made him very happy, he agreed to let him go to Jiangnan, which can be regarded as an experience or two.

Just let it out, and it made such a big deal.

Moreover, Zuo Ming actually walked with him.

"Do you have any thoughts, the minister doesn't dare to say, the minister only knows that now, Ganzhou is still in chaos, those people will get Brother Han to Hangzhou at this time, and then use this matter to attack Brother Han, in order to make the emperor and Brother Han separate, and his heart can be punished!" Wei Zhao's face was slightly gloomy, and his voice was also low, and he said the last four words word by word.

Although the voice was not loud, it made the young man who hung his head slightly and shook his fan shiver.

Chu Yu glanced back at him, waved his hand to let him out, and waited for someone to leave before saying, "What you said, I naturally understand." ”

Wei Zhao smiled lightly and didn't make a sound, he only said in his heart, you understand very well, but in the bottom of his heart, he is just taboo against Qin Mohan.

Chu Yu looked down at the letter paper, and his heart turned.

There was no one to fan, the room was silent, and the heat came up again.

Chu Yu pulled the collar and let the placket spread out a little, feeling a little bored in his heart, thinking about why these people are so annoying, can't he be a quiet emperor who eats, drinks and has fun?

He didn't even want to care about the affairs of Jiangnan!

"By the way, then Wu Xingyu, what did you ask?" With a frown, Chu Yu raised his voice and asked.

A man in black came out of the shadows outside, bowed his head and said, "He has already admitted that those account books are true, the previous money was given to the Xu family, and the later part was given to Lord Qi, the governor of Jiangnan." ”

Chu Yu waved his hand, and the man retreated incognito.

"Your Majesty, the minister has one more thing to tell you about this." Wei Zhao didn't even look at the man in black, and said in a low voice.

"Say."

"The evidence and witnesses that Yan Xu brought back, the minister sent someone to investigate, then the He family is indeed smuggling smuggled salt, the amount is very considerable, I am afraid that there are more than 500,000 taels a year, and those involved are not only local salt political history and officials, but also people in the rivers and lakes, and those people in the rivers and lakes are using the ships of the East China Sea Division to evade supervision." Wei Zhao said in a deep voice.

He had asked to see Chu Yu alone for this matter today, okay, without saying anything serious, Chu Yu threw such a bomb at him.

You are a dead brother, when you leave Ganzhou, can't you give a letter?

"More than 500,000 taels!" Chu Yu's attention suddenly focused, and only after being surprised did he say, "East China Sea Master? Left Road? ”

"Yes." Wei Zhao nodded and said, "Judging from the current situation, it should have started six years ago." ”

"Six years ago?" Chu Yu's brows curled, and then his face darkened.

Six years ago, it was he who used his connections to get Zuo Dao out of Ganzhou and send him to Jiangnan to suppress bandits.

Before that, he got the news of the spies around the first emperor, saying that there was a secret shipyard in Ningbo, which the first emperor valued very much, and once inadvertently, he also said that there was something that could subvert the world, as long as the shipyard was completed, no one in the world could take it away.

The men he sent managed to get in, but it wasn't long before the shipyard was blown up.

His men only sent a drawing and a note, and they all died.

No one could read the drawing, and the note said that it was a weapon that could make an earth-shattering sound that could blow up a mountain.

In order to find that thing, he sent Zuo Dao to Tongzhou.

This bastard! I didn't find anything, but I smuggled the smuggled salt myself!

Damn, I made so much money, not to mention giving him a little, but also crying to him that he was poor, saying that there was no money for shipbuilding, and last year he asked the household department to allocate hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to him!

"Your Majesty." Feeling that the atmosphere in the room was not right, Chang Gonggong didn't enter the room with interest, just stood outside, and said in a low voice: "General Northwest, come here in private clothes, ask for a meeting outside." ”

Chu Yu's expression changed slightly, he glanced down at the letterhead, and said, "Xuan, come in from the secret passage, don't let people see it." ”
