Xiong Tingbi's sudden Virgin Mary disrupted Wei Zhongxian's plan to further purge the Donglin Party, and as a last resort, Dongchang had to take Li Ruoxing, the governor of Hexi, out of anger.

Wang Wenyan, who should have died, continued to linger in the Dongchang prison because of this incident, which also made Zhu Youxiao breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the Donglin Party should not exist, the eunuch party is powerful, and it is not beneficial to himself, the emperor.

At present, the two of them just check and balance each other, and let the eunuch party continue to grow, I am afraid that the "nine thousand years old" in history will come in advance.

Zhu Youxiao didn't want to be forced, so he slashed Wei Zhongxian with one sword.

After all, it is still of great use to keep him now, rebuilding the three major halls, increasing tariffs, and re-spreading the mining tax in the Gyeonggi area, all of which need to be taken care of by a competent person.

Wang Tiqian is too tender, and he still doesn't dare to openly argue with Wei Zhongxian, except for Wei Zhongxian, there is really no one to do things, which can reassure Zhu Youxiao.

However, Wei Zhongxian never stopped, and as soon as he took his eyes off his old rival Donglin Party, he set his sights on the next target.

That is, the brocade guard under the leadership of Xu Xianchun!

At the beginning of the second year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao thought of the so-called "Xu Hongru Uprising" that occurred in Shandong that year in history, and sent Xu Xianchun to personally go down to the Shandong Supervision Department to investigate thoroughly.

In order to destroy it and nip it in the bud.

But everything has consequences, Xu Xianchun went down, and after a few months of hard work, the leaders of the White Lotus Sect who were supposed to "revolt" in history were all subdued in advance.

There is only one Xu Hongru left, who was deliberately left in Shandong by Jinyiwei and has not done it.

As a result of these events, the real power of the superintendent at the local level has become more and more powerful, and it is not the same as when the tariffs along the river were increased just two years ago.

The growth of Jinyiwei inevitably attracted the attention of Dongchang Fanzi.

Wei Zhongxian quickly noticed Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who had a completely different style from Liu Qiao's previous style.

Liu Qiao has a cowardly personality, acts cautiously and carefully, and does not dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi, even if there is a major matter, unless Zhu Youxiao has a strict order, he dares to lead the team to take people.

Wei Zhongxian was not worried about this person at all.

Xu Xianchun is different, this person is ruthless and good at speculating on the holy will

Xu Xianchun has only been in charge of Jinyiwei for a long time, and the local superintendents of Jinyiwei are almost about to compete with the various branches of the East Factory.

And the Emperor of the Apocalypse actually handed over such a major matter as the purging of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong to the Superintendent Division, which made Wei Zhongxian suspicious.

He knew he couldn't go on like this...

Why did Xu Xianchun keep Xu Hongru for a long time to clean up, others may not know, Wei Zhongxian sneered when he heard it.

"The Governor still doesn't understand his little ninety-nine."

"This Xu Xianchun wants to use this to curry favor with the civil officials and military generals in Shandong, eat people with short mouths and short hands!"

"That's... How do we respond? Fu Yingxing also sensed the crisis, and said in a deep voice: "You can't look at your former grandchildren and ride on your head step by step, right?" ”

"Heh-" Wei Zhongxian chuckled disdainfully, and snorted coldly: "Don't worry, with this governor here, Xu Xianchun can only be the one below!" ”

"You go to Shandong first and meet him, so as not to be too drifting with this surnamed Xu!"

"Since my uncle said so, my nephew will rest assured, so I will find a few competent stalls and go to Shandong in person."

After Fu Yingxing finished speaking, he turned around and left.

After he left, Wei Zhongxian hid his body in a dark corner, and as the lights suddenly went out, there was a creepy laugh.

......

During the Qingming Festival, the palace people remitted money from various palaces and bureaus to the internal supervision yamen to receive spare clothes, as well as welfare subsidies such as rice and noodles issued by the imperial court during the Qingming Festival.

The female official of Kunning Palace, Xu, was holding her own things and was happily walking back.

Since the palace ladies and eunuchs from various palaces have come, along the way, they have also heard a lot of rumors recently.

A maid in charge of the lantern of Kunning Palace pulled her from behind and said:

"Sister, do you know, what are you talking about us outside?"

"What are you talking about-" Xu Shi weighed the newly haired beautiful clothes, and didn't even look back, still walking in small steps under his feet.

Before the maid in charge of the lantern could speak, she was walking past a row of palace people, and the direction she came from should be the West Sixth Palace.

After taking them a little farther away, the maid holding the lamp lowered her voice and said:

"They have always said that the emperor has always favored the middle palace, the concubine of the middle palace, and said that we are chickens and dogs ascending to heaven!"

Xu Shi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled:

"That's true, aren't you and I just chickens and dogs?"

The maid holding the lamp was a little unconvinced, her eyes rolled in her sockets, and then she asked:

"We are chickens and dogs, what is Niangniang, and what is Your Majesty?"

Xu naturally heard the meaning of the war in her words, so he turned his head and said unhappily:

"Hurry up and say a few words, less publicity, the prince has just come into the world, don't cause trouble for the mother at this juncture."

......

What the maid in charge of the lamp said involved two major events in the inner palace and outside the court.

In the first year of the Apocalypse, the Emperor of the Apocalypse personally conquered the southwest, and when he arrived in Luoyang, he issued a holy decree to implement the law of restricting the clan, strictly restricting the children of the clan from asking the court for money under the pretext of "creating people".

At that time, because the emperor was going with soldiers.

When the new law was promulgated, no clan said a word, and when the sensation caused by the southwest victory gradually dissipated, the clans began to make trouble.

A year has passed, the dissatisfaction of the children of the clan has become more and more high, just half a month ago, led by Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, there was a drama in Luoyang that robbed the treasury silver for money.

There are still a lot of clans involved in this matter, and it is not enough to cut them all in one go or forcibly suppress them, recently, Zhu Youzhen is worried about this.

Coincidentally, Yuan Chonghuan won a great victory in Shenyang, and it is said that he also wounded Nurhachi with one shot.

Originally, Shenyang was beaten back and forth by Jiannu several times, and He Shixian and several other generals were killed in battle, which has become the focus of the tug-of-war between the Ming and Jin sides.

Every time, Houjin waits for you to see that it is going to be repaired, and then attacks in a big way to sabotage it, loot and leave.

In order to ensure the safety of Liaoyang and further defend the Liaoshen Plain in Guangrou, Xiong Tingbi could not give up Shenyang.

In this way, Shenyang, which was originally a military town, has become a hot potato, and no one wants to go.

Zhu Youxiao threw Yuan Chonghuan over, also with the intention of keeping it and making steady profits, and if he couldn't keep it, he wouldn't lose it.

I didn't expect this kid to be so thick-skinned.

Let's not talk about whether it is true to injure Nurhachi, Yuan Chonghuan took this as a credit and asked for Ning Yuanjun's reward on the song, but it is a fact that has already happened.

By the way, he brought up the "Ningjin Defense Line" that was rejected by the imperial court last year.

Zhu Youxiao is really convinced, if he doesn't pit himself millions of taels of silver every year, Yuan Chonghuan won't give up?

But right now, except for Yuan Chonghuan who died in Shenyang and Zhu Youxiao didn't feel distressed, whoever else was sent to die in battle would be a loss to the imperial court.

For Yuan Chonghuan, although Zhu Youxiao is annoying, he really has to bear it for the time being.

As for the blessed king Zhu Changxun, it is not easy to move.

Zhu Changxun is equivalent to the Heshen raised by Emperor Wanli's grandfather, and he has to be slaughtered slowly, and if he is short of money, he will slaughter a wave.

Directly take it out and kill it to eat meat, maybe the meat can't be eaten, but it provokes pigs all day to rebel.
