Chapter 80: The Calm Before the Storm
In the next two or three days, there was nothing else to do every day, and after returning home, the disciples followed Mr. Shi to study the Ten Thousand Ghosts Exorcism Array, and with the proficiency of the formation, everyone was also full of confidence, Mr. Shi also ordered everyone to study and practice hard, and the belief that they wanted to fight to the death with Wara, along with the grief and indignation of the same vein who were killed, the small fear of ghosts and witches and words in the hearts of the disciples also disappeared at this moment, and only the firm duel was left in the heart.
After retiring from the court on August 19, Qin Rufeng and Qu Xiangtian never showed up, staying in the barracks or inspecting the city defense every day, or going to the military department for a meeting, and their prestige in the army became higher and higher, and everyone in the army knew Qu and Qin.
However, there is someone among the people who has become a household name overnight, and he has never participated in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Exorcism Array since then, and this person is Fang Qingze. At the moment, the people in the capital were panicking, and many people moved south to escape the scourge of war, so not only did the number of people gradually decrease, but the economy also plummeted. Fang Qingze returned to Beijing after the next day to buy four sets of mansions, which caused a sensation in the capital overnight. In fact, at this moment, when the war is in chaos, the real estate is extremely cheap, and many large families are even worried that the title deed and the house deed cannot be sold, so Fang Qingze saw the opportunity and bought it.
After the caravan sent by Diao Shanshe arrived on the second day, Fang Qingze smiled with satisfaction, he didn't bring much cash with him on the road before, and he mostly used the treasure money of the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately the treasure money has depreciated, so the large package of treasure money brought by Fang Qingze is only enough to buy four houses. Before the business in Timur has achieved scale, has become an important trading place in the Western Regions of the Northwest Region, before leaving, Fang Qingze arranged Diao Shanshe to build six new commercial streets, not for their own store but free rental, only charge two percent of the income of the merchants, for a time many merchants flocked to it, plus Timur through the post station transport is extremely advanced, so the south to the Middle East, north to the West are willing to go to Timur's capital Samarkand to do business, naturally choose free shops to settle in, but in fact, the biggest beneficiary is Fang Qingze.
Under the guidance of Fang Qingze, the business is getting bigger and bigger, Fang Qingze left an order to collect the real money and silver after three days of his own journey, and the strange goods were sent to Beijing, and a large number of Timurid guards were hired on the road.
At this moment, as soon as the east and west arrived in the capital, Fang Qingze immediately took out thirty percent of the money to fund the production needs of the military department, and took out fifty percent to build the city wall for the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry directly appointed Fang Qingze to repair the city as an agent. Fang Qingze firmly believes that he can be able to communicate with his gods, and the Hubu Shangshu, who is naturally in charge of money, has not been less benefited, and since then, it has been very convenient, and suddenly Fang Qingze has taken down several big restaurants, big inns, gold banks, etc., and suddenly became the most famous businessman in the capital.
The military of the capital was greatly boosted by the wind of Qu Xiangtian and Qin, the economy stabilized under the encouragement of Fang Qingze, and the businessmen no longer moved south but did business in a down-to-earth manner.
The capital can be said to be blessed with clouds, and there is a peaceful atmosphere everywhere, which is much better than the security and economy before the war.
However, in this peaceful atmosphere, the wind and water rose inside the Forbidden City, and the tranquility outside the Forbidden City was like the calm before the storm, heralding the arrival of the bloody wind above the main hall.
On August 23, the absurd scene finally broke out. Mr. Shi, Lu Yunzhi and other people in the Zhongzheng lineage had already reached the occurrence of this scene, but they still went to the morning court quietly, and stood on the side of the hall, looking at the scene in front of them that was about to happen.
I saw a minister come out and say, "The minister has something to do." Zhu Jianwen smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "I didn't figure out who spoke first, it turned out to be Lord Chen Yi, the imperial envoy of the right capital of the Inspectorate." Gao Huai pounded Zhu Jianwen and said with a smile: "It's okay, guess it is him, and there are few people with such a straight temper." ”
Zhu Qiyu saw Chen Yi standing up, nodded and said, "Quasi-play." Chen Yi raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Wang Zhen has done a lot of evil, framed Zhongliang, and brought disaster to the country and the people, and it is necessary to destroy his nine clans and eradicate the party to make the world peaceful, and it is not enough to destroy the people's hearts, Your Highness." After speaking, he cried bitterly, and suddenly all the ministers remembered Wang Zhen's various evil deeds and his colleagues who died in the Battle of Tumubao, as well as the grief of the country's lost soldiers and generals, and the crying on the hall shook the sky, this is the second time that Zhu Qiyu has encountered a full house of pain since he presided over the government.
Zhu Qiyu was at a loss, not knowing what to say, the more the ministers cried, the more they forgot about the ancient etiquette, so they cried and stood up one after another to accuse Wang Zhen and his comrades of evil deeds. Zhu Qiyu was extremely embarrassed, looking at these ministers who were already crazy with embarrassment, and suddenly the ministers stopped crying and just looked at Zhu Qiyu coldly, and then fell to their knees in unison, shouting in unison: "Destroy his whole clan and eradicate his henchmen!" ”
Zhu Qiyu was even more flustered, he had just been in power for only six days, where had he seen this formation, and hurriedly said: "Retreat to the dynasty first, I will deal with it later after a little thought." As soon as the words fell, everyone in the Zhongzheng vein was happy, and even Mr. Shi smiled slightly, everyone knew that this was the fuse of this farce, Xie Li said: "This prison country is really good." Xie Qi hurriedly patted Xie Li: "Shut up, talk less, and you have to watch the show." ”
Unlike Zhongzheng's calm and composed, the ministers opened their mouths in surprise, they didn't expect that under their own crying, in front of Wang Zhen's accusations, Zhu Qiyu still said something to deal with later. So the ministers looked at Zhu Qiyu silently, although no one dared to come forward to confront him, but he did not listen to Jin Ying's urging over and over again, and he refused to retreat from the court.
After five or six times of the decree, the ministers still did not leave, and once again began to cry on the spot. This was a loud shout, and I saw that the man was wearing a big red python robe, wearing a black gauze hat, and he was wearing the court clothes of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and this person was Ma Shun, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
I only heard Ma Shun say: "Don't you hurry down and don't you hear the imperial decree of the prison country?!" Ma Shun is Wang Zhen's fellow party, and he is still powerful at the moment, standing there and looking around at the ministers whether they are majestic or not.
At this time, a person walked out of the group of ministers, ran to Ma Shun and grabbed his hair with his left hand, picked up Chao Wat with his right hand and slapped Ma Shun's face several times, scolding while beating: "At this moment, you dare to be powerful and lucky, watch me kill you!" For a moment, there was chaos in the hall.
