Since the restoration of the dynasty, Zhu Youxiao has gradually become idle.

From the forty-seventh year of Wanli to the third year of the Apocalypse, in the past four years, Zhu Youxiao has never been as leisurely as now.

Although the right to review all the recitals was withdrawn from Wei Zhongxian in the first month, with the increase in the number of court meetings, the recitals became fewer and fewer.

The officials were excited for several days just because of the restoration of the dynasty, and until now, rumors of praise for the emperor's holy wisdom can still be heard among the people.

As soon as he was happy, the court officials did a lot of government affairs, and Zhu Youxiao also knew that what could be discussed at the court meeting would not be delayed.

Therefore, compared with the past, Zhu Youxiao now has a lot more leisure time on weekdays.

Of course, these leisure times do not mean that they just play and mix up, and there will never be a stable life in the true sense of being an emperor.

Zhu Youxiao returned to Kunning Palace early that day and slept with Zhang Yan.

In the dead of night, the palace ladies gradually turned off the lights, Zhu Youxiao went through a hard battle, whether it was to put out the fire or enjoy it, anyway, he finally fell asleep with Zhang Yan in his arms.

Zhang Yan, who had experienced the rain and dew, was even more dazzling and tempting at this time, and she was powerless to move again.

After a few breaths, I don't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, Zhang Yan let out a whisper.

"Hold me tight..."

The two hugged each other tightly like in the past, and at this time, a rush of footsteps came to the outside of the palace.

"Your Majesty, the factory minister is here, saying that there is something to do, and 100,000 are in a hurry."

Zhang Yan was the first to wake up, she looked at the emperor who was still asleep, put on her clothes and walked out of the palace gate, frowned and asked the little eunuch who sent the message:

"Can't we discuss anything tomorrow?"

"Your Majesty is tired for a day today, so it's easy to rest..."

The little eunuch could hear that the queen was unhappy, and she was also embarrassed, and hesitated for a while before she replied with a deflated stomach:

"Niangniang forgives the sin, there is no way for the small one, the factory minister said that this matter is urgent, like... The implementation of the new salt law by the imperial court went into chaos. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said:

"You wait here, I'll wake up Your Majesty."

......

About half an hour later, Zhu Youxiao, who had a black face, was still sitting in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace.

Listening to Wei Zhongxian's words, Zhu Youxiao frowned even more.

I had expected that it would not be so easy to implement the new salt law, but I did not expect that it would be the people who would cause trouble, and they should be happy that the imperial court finally managed the loose salt administration, instead of opposing it as it is now.

"Your Majesty, there must be traitors in this, but the old minister's ability is limited, and I don't know who is spreading these rumors."

Wei Zhongxian sighed and said:

"The old minister woke up His Majesty, it was really a helpless move, the new salt law is struggling in various places, a day of hard work, the place may change, the court continues to come up with a new way..."

"Okay——!"

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, interrupted Wei Zhongxian's words, and said:

"It's not that you're angry that you woke me up, it's nothing, now I'm concerned about why the coastal people are opposed to the new salt law."

"About the Haiyang Salt Farm, I just read the book, and I asked you, who is the prefect of Dengzhou Mansion?"

Wei Zhongxian thought for a moment, and then said:

"This person's name is Zhang Daqi, and he has been an official in Dengzhou Mansion for more than ten years, does Your Majesty suspect that he is connected with local heroes and powerful people to induce small people?"

Zhu Youxiao leaned back in his chair, looked at the dim night sky outside the warm pavilion, nodded and said:

"If the content of the new salt law of the imperial court is truthfully known to the people, it is impossible for the people to oppose it, and some corrupt officials must be obstructing it."

"This Zhang Daqi, this kind of chaos in his jurisdiction is the biggest, and his suspicion is also the heaviest!"

"The old minister knows, and when he goes back, he will arrange for people to go to Dengzhou Mansion to investigate in detail." Wei Zhongxian nodded and said:

"However, the old minister thinks that it is still necessary to pass on the content of the new salt law of the imperial court to the small people, and to do it by Dongchang without going through the local government, so as to fundamentally solve the current problem."

Zhu Youxiao naturally knew Wei Zhongxian's thoughts, and said with a smile:

"If this kind of thing happens, I'm afraid that the people won't listen to Dongchang's words, so they still have to let people they trust to do it."

Wei Zhongxian was taken aback.

"Your Majesty means..."

"Shandong General Soldier Yang Zhaoji has a good reputation, and in the second year of the Apocalypse, he assisted Wen Tiren to solve the chaos caused by the Shandong earthquake, and I think it is best to leave this matter to the two of them."

Wei Zhongxian didn't speak, as if thoughtful.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at him sideways and asked lightly, "The factory minister won't have any objections to this matter, right?" ”

Wei Zhongxian was excited, and said busily: "The old minister just remembered some things and was distracted, the old minister has no objection, Your Majesty is wise!" ”

Zhu Youxiao didn't ask anything, as if he hadn't heard it at all, and said directly:

"Sent an edict to Yang Zhaoji, the chief soldier of Shandong, overnight, and told him to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters from the rate and move to Denglai Erfu, but if there is a civil unrest, it can be directly suppressed."

If this kind of thing really happens, no matter why these coastal people embarked on this road, Zhu Youxiao will not be able to get used to it.

No one is innocent in such matters.

"Dongchang continues to investigate the salt farms in various places, but don't interfere in the affairs of Denglai Erfu, Dongchang will let Beizhen Fusi do it later."

As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said:

"Let's go back first, since the second mansion of Denglai is the most happy, I also want to set an example for the world, so I will start to investigate from Denglai."

"No matter how hard you try to check, how much you find out, report it to me, and I will deal with it myself!"

Since the emperor issued an order to expel guests, Wei Zhongxian couldn't stay any longer, so he had to bow down and say, "Your Majesty pay attention to your body, and the old minister will retire." ”

"Well, I'll report something back to me."

Watching Wei Zhongxian leave, Zhu Youxiao said: "Wang Chaofu, you will personally go to Wen Tiren's house later, and ask Xu Xianchun to come to Xinuan Pavilion." ”

......

Wen Tiren doesn't have any so-called mansion now, his official position is not big or small, he is the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and he doesn't have many people, and the place where he lives is just a slightly larger courtyard.

Late that night, Wen Tiren was still asleep, but someone knocked on his door.

Zhengxiang, who was sleeping with Wen Tiren, was reluctant to open the door at all.

He rolled around on the couch, but after a while, he heard that there was still a noise outside the door, so he scolded and got off the bed.

As soon as he opened the door, Wen Tiren was shocked and opened his mouth wide, and the words he just said that he wanted to give these people a good look were suddenly thrown out of the clouds.

"Lord Wen, why are you indifferent when you see our family?" Wang Chaofu was followed by several lieutenants and eunuchs, standing at the door with a smile.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law, please!"

Wen Tiren naturally recognized the steward of the Qianqing Palace in the Great Inner Palace, and the prince of the prince, one of the five most powerful eunuchs in the inner court.

Wang Chaofu is also the closest to the emperor among the five old eunuchs, and this power is only under Wei Zhongxian and the Imperial Horse Supervisor Wang Tiqian.

With such an important person in this posture, he came to him in the middle of the night, and a fool could guess that it must be the emperor's will.

Generally speaking, once the emperor has a special decree against someone, he will either be in a catastrophe or will be entrusted with a heavy task.

The last time he was in Shandong to deal with the earthquake, Wen Tiren received the holy decree temporarily, and now it is the same.

After inviting Wang Chaofu and his party, he seemed a little excited, his hands holding the light tea were a little trembling, and he spilled some tea on the table.
