In the middle of the night, there seemed to be no sound in the entire Dongchang prison except for a burst of moaning. And outside the prison, only the fan in charge of patrols and the fan in charge of security are left.

"Who?" The man in charge of the guard saw someone walking towards the prison with a torch.

"Hypertremor. Are you the head of the Lee stall? The man with the torch said loudly.

"It's under it, it turned out to be the foreman Kang, it's so late, why did you come to prison?" Li said.

"On the orders of the Overseer, I came to inspect. Today's people are all prisoners, but there can't be a half-point difference. Kang Zhen said.

"But I haven't heard that the governor will send someone to inspect." Li asked suspiciously.

"What? Li Stalltou doesn't even believe in his own official, if you don't believe it, you can ask the overseer. Kang Zhen scolded.

"Foreman Kang, you misunderstood, lead the way for Foreman Kang." Li said with a smile. In the East Factory, the position of foreman already belongs to the middle and high-level level, which is not comparable to an ordinary stall at all.

"Lead the way." Kang Zhen said with satisfaction.

Li Stalltou came to the prison with a fan and Kang Zhen, "Foreman Kang, you see that a few people are all right, nothing is wrong." ”

"Well, indeed." As soon as Kang Zhen's words fell, the short sword hidden in his sleeve stabbed Li to death, and the accompanying fan was stabbed to death by Kang Zhen's sword again before he could react.

Everything came too suddenly, and Li Jietou and the accompanying fans didn't even have time to make a sound.

And Feng Yao and the others reacted instantly, and asked in surprise: "You are here to save us." ”

"I'm here to see you on your way." Kang Zhen said coldly.

"We didn't say anything." Several people said in unison.

"I know you didn't say anything, so your family is safe, I have a few pills here, do you use it yourself, or I will help you use it, you can do it." Kang Zhen said expressionlessly.

"From the moment I entered the East Factory, I knew that it would be impossible to go out again." Feng Yao said sadly.

For Feng Yao and the others, there is no choice, and dying comfortably is the best choice.

……

The East Factory was in a mess at the moment, and overnight, all the key personnel involved were killed.

Li Yongzhen is now anxious to become an ant on a hot pot, and the clues of the whole matter are all broken, and he has to enter the palace early in the morning to report to the emperor.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Yongzhen, who was kneeling on the ground, and said angrily: "Even the foreman of the East Factory is the other party's person, how can you trust the East Factory again?" ”

In terms of political struggle, even if Zhu Youxiao comes from hundreds of years later, he is just a rookie in this regard, he is not treacherous enough, he is not ruthless enough, he has never experienced it, Zhu Youxiao has a deep sense of frustration for the first time!

"The capital crime of the minister, the capital crime of the minister......" Li Yongzhen said desperately kowtowing.

"If killing you would have worked, I would have cut you down. Get up, for your sake of faithfulness today, I will give you another chance, and if you fail next time, you will go and guard the spirit of the emperor." Zhu Youxiao said loudly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing! Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing! Li Yongzhen said two words in a row and knocked her head three times before standing up.

"How long has it been since Kang Zhen came to the East Factory?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Kang Zhen entered the East Factory eleven years ago, and used to serve as a seater in Jiangnan, but he was transferred from Jiangnan to Beijing as a foreman last year." Li Yongzhen replied.

"It seems that things are more complicated than I thought." Zhu Youxiao said in a deep voice.

At this time, Wang Liqian hurriedly came, "Your Majesty, the merchant has gone out of business." ”

"Strike?" Zhu Youxiao was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that there would be a strike at this time, and that he would hear such a modern word.

"Your Majesty, the merchants are indeed out of the market, early this morning, nearly thirty percent of the merchants in Beijing are closed, and they all say that they will strike the market." Wang Liqian reported back.

"It's a lot of guts! Are they trying to rebel? Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

"Your Majesty, the minister immediately dispatched Dongchang to arrest all the merchants." Li Yongzhen scrambled to make meritorious contributions.

"Will arresting all the merchants solve the boycott?" Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

"This ......" Li Yongzhen was asked by Zhu Youxiao and didn't know how to answer for a while, he thought for a while and said, "The businessman values profit over righteousness, is profit-seeking, and is extremely desperate for his life. ”

Regarding this proposal, Zhu Youxiao did not refute it, "Kill who and make an example of whom?" There are at least 1,000 businessmen in the entire Beijing division who participate in the strike, and killing an insignificant person will not solve the problem at all. ”

"This time, the minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust and find out the leader." Li Yongzhen said.

"Tomorrow, I will invite all the hall owners who are imprisoned in Dongchang, as well as the big businessmen of Jingshi, to one place, and wait for me to meet them in person." Zhu Youxiao said calmly.

"No." Li Yongzhen said.

"And to find out why these merchants are boycotting? Remember not to mess up again. Zhu Youxiao advised.

"No." Li Yongzhen decided this time that even if she didn't sleep, she couldn't go any further.

……

Since Zhang Yan started to tidy up the harem last time, it took her a few days for Zhang Yan to reformulate a new set of rules according to the rules of the harem, and now it is being handed over to Zhu Youxiao for review.

"You made all these rules?" Zhu Youxiao asked suspiciously.

"No, most of them are according to the ancestral system, and the concubines are just reiterating the rules of these harems again." Zhang Yan replied.

"Do you have to change the rules of the bedchamber?" Zhu Youxiao said.

Zhang Yan arranged the seventy-nine concubines of Zhu Youxiao in order of status, and specified in detail who would be the turn to sleep every day of each month, counting the monthly rest time, it would take four and a half months to come down in one round.

"The emperor has no heirs, and the concubine, as the queen, is really worthy of the first emperor, if the emperor has no heirs, he is afraid of attracting criticism from the world, so even if it is for the concubine, this rule cannot be changed." Zhang Yan flatly refused.

"I'm only twenty years old, and I'm still young, so you don't have to worry about the heir." Zhu Youxiao said disapprehantly. In history, Zhu Youxiao gave birth to many children, but they all died young.

"This matter should not be delayed sooner rather than later, the emperor has no heirs, the hearts of the people in the world are unstable, and the emperor will give birth to a prince as soon as possible, which can not only appease the hearts of ministers, but also according to the hearts of the people in the world." Zhang Yan said.

It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, it was even stipulated how many days the emperor had to have sex with his concubines every month.

"Baozhu, you arrange it like this, aren't you jealous?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but ask. If this is released to future generations, if Zhu Youxiao has such an idea, he must be beaten to death by his wife.
