After listening to Liu Bowen's analysis, Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and said: "In this way, everything we have done is in vain, Shen Mao is useless, he can't mobilize the business power behind the Shen family at all, so what use do we want him to do." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Your Majesty is not the time to be angry, but how to calm the anger of the people."

"Immediately send someone to send 100,000 troops to Chang'an to suppress it, and at the same time, we must capture Shen Cong alive and break him into thousands of pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart." As soon as he remembered that Shen Cong had sabotaged his plan several times, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, this time Shen Cong actually had the audacity to raise the price of commodities, which led the anger of the people to the imperial court, and put the imperial court in a passive state.

Liu Bowen hurriedly shook his head: "Your Majesty, the people have not done anything wrong, they are just guided by others, if you rashly send a large army forward, I am afraid it will cause panic among the people of Chang'an, which is not good for the people of Chang'an, and Your Majesty, the officials in Chang'an are left behind in the Yuan Dynasty, why don't we take this opportunity to completely eliminate the old ministers of the Yuan Dynasty?" The officials of Chang'an were cleared and our people were sent at the same time, so that the anger of the people would disappear, and secondly, Shen Cong's every move would also be under our surveillance. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little better after hearing this: "The anger of the people has subsided, but the price of the Shen family's goods will not be reduced, the people's lives are still a problem, and they will still be chaotic when the time comes, so what will happen after solving the temporary chaos?" This time, the power of thunder must be used to completely solve Shen Cong. ”

Song Lian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, if the Shen family is completely wiped out now, then the supply and trading of commodities across the country will be affected, and the lives of the people will also be affected, and the financial revenue of the imperial court will also be affected." It seems that we can't strangle the Shen family at all this time, before we attack the Shen family, the power of the Shen family has been handed over to Shen Cong, and it has completely retained its strength, so it seems that the Shen family's qi is not exhausted, our time is not ripe, it is better to leave them to live for a few more years. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, what Lord Song said is very true, now Shen Cong is the holder of the power of the Shen family, then the opponent we will face in the future is Shen Cong, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other, invincible, we don't know Shen Cong's routine at all, why don't we deal with Shen Cong according to the foolish opinion of the minister, and then let Shen Wansan go back to continue to be in power, and finally we will wait for the opportunity to make a move against the Shen family." Liu Bowen hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the two lords are very reasonable, the Ming Dynasty has just been founded and cannot withstand the turmoil, the domestic economy is scattered, the people are living in poverty, and there are Yuan Dynasty nobles in Mobei, it is really not suitable to use troops." Other ministers also suggested to the emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in annoyance, as his courtiers said, it is indeed easy to deal with Shen Cong, but in order to deal with Shen Cong, he wasted too much energy so that it would be worth the loss to be taken advantage of by others, which one to choose, Zhu Yuanzhang knows better than anyone else.

suppressed his temperament and made the decision he was most unwilling to make: "Come to pass the decree, Shenyang immediately ask for beheading, Shen Wansan put it back, Suzhou will increase monitoring efforts, investigate the movements of the Shen family, and at the same time send someone to Chang'an to carefully watch Shen Cong's movements, Liu Bowen and Song Lian, the two of you will go to Chang'an this time, and tell Shen Cong to let him immediately restore the Shen family's shop to its original price, and stop harming the people." ”

"Your Majesty, we can't go empty-handed when we go to see Shen Cong." Liu Bowen listened to the angry voice and smiled bitterly and said, this time Shen Cong has the upper hand, we have a request for others, and we can't order others arrogantly.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "I know that I will give you a gold medal for avoiding death, you take it, if Shen Cong still doesn't agree, give up a gold mine in the imperial court to the Shen family, anyway, you must let him push the price of goods back." ”

When the ministers below heard this, they hurriedly shook their heads: "Your Majesty, salt, iron, metal and other industries are related to the fate of the country, and the Shen family is already operating salt, if they are given gold mines again, won't it help the abuse?" ”

"But if you don't do this at present, then the economy of the whole country will continue to be chaotic, and you have also seen that the prices of commodities in various places are rising, and the people are miserable, so there will be such chaos, so this must be done, and you have to say more." Zhu Yuanzhang was already in a bad mood, and when the courtiers said this again, his temper became even more irritable, and he wanted to kill people immediately.

Liu Bowen and Song Lian received the order: "Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers will definitely do their best to exchange the least loss for the most satisfactory effect." ”

God knows, Zhu Yuanzhang made these decisions and had a lot of fire in his heart, so as soon as he got to the court, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately went straight to the harem and came to the place where Concubine Shen lived, gritted his teeth and beat her hard, so he felt comfortable, it seemed that he was not beating Concubine Shen, but Shen Cong who was a thorn in his eye.

In Chang'an, when Shen Cong got the news, he also smiled slightly, but he didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang, a person who didn't want to eat at all, to endure it like this.

"Young master, don't you know, Gonggong Li said that His Majesty the Emperor went to the harem immediately after the next dynasty and beat Concubine Shen violently." The eyebrows of the subordinates fluttered and danced to Shen Cong.

"Father-in-law Li worked hard this time, and prepared a few boxes of thousand-year-old ginseng as soon as possible to send him over, apologize to him, and this time he was also frightened."

Shen Cong laughed and continued: "Concubine Shen is also a member of the Shen family after all, hit the Shen family to breathe, otherwise Your Majesty will be suffocated, but this woman really deserves to be beaten, if it weren't for her repeated troubles, the Shen family would not have this result." ”

"Young master, don't worry, the master has been released, and now that the master has returned to Suzhou, presumably the eldest prince and they can't eat and walk around, should we go back to Suzhou immediately."

Shen Cong shook his head and said: "No need, Suzhou people have a lot of eyes, sooner or later there will be trouble, as for Shen Mao, what can the emperor do to him, at most it is just to blame, after all, he has to keep him to disperse the Shen family, as for my father, it is estimated that the emperor will put him back in power, and then the emperor can put pressure on my father again, and the Shen family will have to be led by the emperor again." ”

The subordinate nodded slightly: "The lord still respects His Majesty the Emperor, but after this incident, I think the lord should also know in his heart, Shen Jia's family has a great cause, and His Majesty the Emperor can't help us, we are fully capable of arguing with His Majesty the Emperor, there is no need to swallow our anger anymore." ”

Shen Cong smiled bitterly: "Where, I created chaos this time, presumably it will not be long before the world knows that the Shen family is the manipulator behind it, the emperor will not let us be comfortable, we are not the emperor's opponent at present, this time the emperor compromised because his country has not yet stabilized, so he can't make extraneous branches, otherwise it will be easy to destroy us." ”
