Chapter 41: Nothing is as fast as robbing money
In order to ensure that the group of people did not jump over the wall in a hurry, Zhu Houzhao could only stay in the capital to appease the minister. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although he later found a way to get a stand-in in addition to the capital, the Zhengde Emperor of the Ming Dynasty should still be in the capital in name.
It is impossible for him to look for Yu Mingxiao in a big way, and he will not even let out a little rumor to find it quietly, this is the best, which can not only ensure Yu Mingxiao's safety, but also blind the eyes of the cabinet ministers and the empress dowager of the harem.
You must know that the empress dowager, who has been in the harem all her life, can be solved by a house arrest order, as long as the old woman does not die, she will always be able to reach out of the palace. The Ming Dynasty has never had an iron-blooded rule that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!
Even after trying his best to get out of the capital, the situation did not improve.
Yu Mingxiao's whereabouts are still a mystery. In the 21st century, when the world is full of cameras, it is still so difficult to find a person who has been hidden by others, let alone in an era where the fastest communication depends on pigeons and the fastest movement relies on horses.
Step by step, it was found out that Yu Mingxiao was sent to Jiangnan, which was already because of Zhu Houzhao's power, and it was even more fortunate to determine the target to Jiaxing Mansion.
An emperor who has no choice but to hide his identity and search for his wife for thousands of miles can't immediately mobilize the army to cover up the past after getting the news.
For the safety of Yu Mingxiao, Zhu Houzhao could only take steps forward, use all the resources at hand to narrow and narrow the scope, and finally exposed Yu Mingxiao's existence, and only at this moment did he use thunder to find Yu Mingxiao.
It can even be said that if he hadn't been attacked and killed by Mao Feng, the goal was obviously to rob the little queen mother, Zhu Houzhao would not have immediately come up with such a plan that might endanger Yuming Xiao's safety and expose his location.
After all, Yu Mingxiao's safety has always been of paramount importance in his heart.
Both the country and the beauty want to be a test for everyone who holds great power, the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, this beauty pass is definitely not just a beauty, but also the trouble caused by the pursuit of beauty!
"Ahh Yu Mingxiao let out a light sigh that he didn't know whether to be surprised or happy, and found the existence of the person who was familiar with the morning and evening thoughts in the firelight.
Zhu Houzhao hugged Yu Mingxiao tightly in his arms, only to feel that the person in his arms was trembling slightly, although it was through a layer of armor, he still felt the warmth that gradually overflowed from his chest.
Yu Mingxiao cried. The strong girl who had never cried in so many days of shock and fear could no longer control her emotions after seeing the backbone of the Lord, and cried in Zhu Houzhao's arms.
The powder fist rained down on Zhu Houzhao's breastplate, and a pain that he couldn't feel the pain spread in Zhu Houzhao's heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Why does it take so long? Why...... It took so long to find me? Yuming Xiao choked up, and his voice was extremely low.
But in Zhu Houzhao's ears, it was the thunder of nine days, and the distress for Yu Mingxiao and the powerful self-blame for himself were intertwined in Zhu Houzhao's heart, and soon transformed into an indescribable anger.
I am the emperor, why do I have to go through such twists and turns to save my beloved woman? Why did anyone dare to take Yu Mingxiao thousands of miles away? Why do some people dare to rob private money so arrogantly? Why did the entire Ming Dynasty have its own loudest voice, but now it has fallen to the point where it can't speak?
Zhu Houzhao asked himself what he was afraid of, what he was worried about, what was it that restrained his hands and feet and the arrogance he was when he was a child!
Zhu Houzhao remembered the long conversation in the prison that night, the words of Emperor Hongzhi that were rabbled until Tianming and the tears that also flowed on Zhu Houzhao's clothes when he was a child.
A dragon chair, a dragon robe. Is it really as heavy as the first emperor said?
If the youth is strong, the country will be strong, and if the youth is ruthless, the country will be ruthless, Zhu Houzhao's mentality has undergone a strong change at this moment, like a landslide and tsunami.
He picked up Yu Mingxiao's little face stained with tears, kissed it gently, looking at her slightly haggard but still as bright as the stars, Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Xiao Xiao, can I punish them for you?" ”
Without waiting for Yu Mingxiao to understand the meaning of his words, Zhu Houzhao had already issued a clear order in a cold voice: "Zhang Cheng, this person in the Zhuangzi, not a single one will be left!" ”
Zhang Cheng was slightly stunned, but he still quickly carried out Zhu Houzhao's order, and his Jinyi guards shot crossbows at the crowd.
Mao Feng is full of heart and gall, he has never seen such a person who does not abide by the rules of officialdom at all: "What crime did Mao commit?" ”
Zhu Houzhao sneered, and soon a bunch of Ming standard bow and crossbow muskets were thrown in front of Mao Feng, and he gently spit out two words: "Rebellion!" ”
"Mao's annual tax is enough to cover the taxes of Zhejiang Province! Wouldn't it be chilling to kill rich businessmen at will? Mao Feng was still trying to die.
But Zhu Houzhao doesn't care anymore, Yu Mingxiao needs comfort now, and he really needs to be safe.
Before leaving, Zhu Houzhao still did not forget to raise his hand and shoot a crossbow arrow into Mao Feng's head.
――――――
――――
Some people don't blink to death, and some people are terrified.
Two days later, Mo Yanei, who was still cowering in his heart, trembled and came to Zhu Houzhao.
"Big ...... My lord? Mo Yanei called Zhu Houzhao very uncertainly, and he was not sure what the identity of the person in front of him was.
A small garrison can actually order a Jinyi guard with at least a thousand household titles, which has subverted the worldview of Mo Yanei.
Zhu Houzhao didn't care about Mo Yanei's title, and after glancing at him, he said, "If the Mo family is handed over to you to take care of, can you do better than your Lao Tzu?" ”
Mo Yanei was a little confused, although he often thought about this, but if he really wanted him to do it, I am afraid that it was not as deep-rooted as his own Lao Tzu.
Zhu Houzhao frowned and glanced at Mo Yanei, who had become cowering, and sighed, this is the mud that has to help him up to the wall.
The old shipowner's side destroyed Mao Feng because of the thunder of the imperial court, and it was impossible to talk about it anymore, and within two days, Jinyiwei went around to pull out all the forces of the old shipowner's side in the eleventh mansion of the Zhejiang Buzheng Division, and went straight down the vine to touch the melons, and there was no chance for these people to react at all.
Now only the people who can cooperate with Zhu Houzhao are the people of the Mo family in Huizhou, and from the actual situation, Zhu Houzhao would rather use the Mo Yanei to control the Mo family's power in the inland than use the ink wind and thunder.
Zhu Houzhao doesn't care, as long as he can be controlled by himself, with the emperor's backing, even if he is a gentleman, he can make do with being an elite.
Secretly take down the inland Mo family, and then contact the overseas forces of the Mo family.
The imperial court now has no naval army, and it is beyond the reach of the South China Sea, so Zhu Houzhao can only appoint pirates for the sake of gold and silver on the sea.
Expedient, expedient! Zhu Houzhao has been secretly telling himself in his heart, especially after Zhang Cheng came in with the account book after the extermination of Mao Feng, Zhu Houzhao is even more so.
"My lord, after exterminating Mao Feng and others, a total of 369,715 taels of gold and more than 17,510,000 taels of silver were obtained, and the rest of the jewelry and jade were being counted, and there was enough food for the northern border army to eat for a year......"
Sure enough, it's not as fast as robbing to get money!
