"Someone poisoned?" Zhu Youxiao was shocked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, a palace maid sneaked into the back kitchen of Kunning Palace, was arrested, and found a bag of poison." Li Chaoqing replied, "If you don't find it in time, I'm afraid that the queen and the eldest prince will be poisoned." ”

"Check. Give me a strict check. "Zhu Youxiao is crazy, this can still be endured! After thinking about it carefully, I found that a huge conspiracy was coming.

These masterminds behind the scenes not only had to kill the emperor, but also the prince and the empress.

What happens if the emperor, empress, and prince all die?

Naturally, another emperor will be established, and who will be the emperor at that time?

When people die and politics die, reform will naturally be interrupted.

Of course, there are also two princes, but the two princes are still in infancy, and they may not be able to compete with those vassal kings.

There is no need to investigate, Zhu Youxiao already knows who is going to murder him, and it must be those groups with vested interests whose interests have been shaken by the reform.

Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao has been very cautious since he crossed over, never eating indiscriminately, and when he goes out, Luan is protected with steel plates.

After the birth of the eldest prince, Zhu Youxiao even arranged two trustworthy palace maids to serve him, and the back kitchen of Kunning Palace was also included in the scope of key monitoring.

For those masterminds behind the coup d'état, it is not enough to kill Zhu Youxiao now, but also to kill the prince and the empress.

The queen and the eldest prince will not die, and his reform line will continue. If you just kill the two fathers and sons, Zhu Youxiao and the eldest prince, it is still not enough. If the queen and the second prince are still alive, the second prince will ascend the throne, and the queen can listen to the government justifiably.

That is, for this palace coup to succeed. At least three of them have to be killed. And Zhu Youxiao was the first target to be killed, but unfortunately the conspiracy was foiled.

This assassination and poisoning can be said to have shocked Zhu Youxiao into a cold sweat. Zhu Youxiao hurriedly rushed to Kunning Palace, and ordered: "Summon Tian Ergeng and Wei Zhongxian to Kunning Palace to meet you." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao rushed to Kunning Palace and saw that the queen and the eldest prince were well. And he was relieved. After a while, Tian Ergeng and Wei Zhongxian also came, and when such a big event happened in the palace, they naturally entered the palace directly.

"Did you find anything?" Zhu You asked the two of them.

"Your Majesty, there are no clues for the time being, but the palace maid I just captured is the palace maid next to Concubine Zheng." Tian Ergeng reported.

"Concubine Zheng! Good, good. Keep looking. "Zhu Youxiao almost forgot about the poisonous snake in the palace, Concubine Zheng is also the old lady of King Fu, the most favored concubine of Emperor Wanli.

Thinking of King Fu's movements. Zhu Youxiao can basically be sure that Concubine Zheng must also be involved in this conspiracy.

"Wei Zhongxian."

"The slave is here."

"Immediately put Concubine Zheng into the cold palace to take care of her, and control all the palace maids around her, and review them one by one." Zhu Youxiao decisively ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Zhongxian looked at the emperor's burning gaze and trembled. It's going to die! Concubine Zheng jumped out at this time, and he Wei Zhongxian said that he would be implicated.

You must know that Wei Zhongxian has the background of Concubine Zheng, although Wei Zhongxian has controlled the East Factory over the years, he is not powerful in the palace. The emperor completely excluded him from the palace management system, and he lived a life of complete trepidation.

Wrath of the Son of Heaven. Millions of floating corpses and thousands of miles of blood. The anger of the cloth clothes, the five steps of bleeding, the world is vegetarian.

Zhu Youxiao was also angry, and Jinyiwei and Dongchang thoroughly investigated the assassination and poisoning case, and suddenly the entire Gyeonggi area was overturned.

The ruffians felt the most innocent. Suddenly, there was another strike-hard, this time with unprecedented intensity, as well as an unprecedented search intensity.

Some of the ruffians who escaped the last crackdown were not so lucky this time, and after being arrested one by one, they were dragged to cut off their heads after a casual interrogation.

As soon as the assassination broke out. Even more unfortunate were the powerful forces in the Gyeonggi area, where almost all the homes of the old powerful were searched.

As a result, some controlled instruments were found, and some acts of oppression of the people were discovered.

Those who cut their jobs cut their jobs, those who raid their homes are cut off their homes, and those who cut off their heads are cut off their heads.

This assassination also became a good excuse for Zhu Youxiao to take advantage of these powerful people, and for this reason, Zhu Youxiao made a big fuss about the assassination case, and "Daming Daily" also reported on it.

Everyone knows that the Son of Heaven is very angry, and with this reason, Zhu Youxiao searched the powerful everywhere, and he was very happy for a while.

The entrance of the vegetable market has simply become a slaughterhouse, and the heads of people fall to the ground, which is terrifying.

In the Yansheng Mansion in the Imperial City, the Jinyi Guard broke the door with a bang, and then rushed into the mansion like a wolf.

"What are you doing?" Kong Yinzhi rushed out in a panic and shouted angrily at the brocade guards in front of him.

"Kong Yinzhi, you colluded with the assassins with the intention of murdering the Holy Lord, and your sin is unforgivable." Tian Ergeng shouted at Kong Yinzhi and waved his hand: "Handcuff up." ”

The two Jinyi Guard captains stepped forward, grabbed Kong Yinzhi, and then put chains and shackles on them.

"Sin to be added, sin to be added! You're spewing blood...... Yes~! Kong Yinzhi struggled, but where could he struggle, and after a while, he was shackled and shackled.

"Whether it is a crime to be added or not, you will know after the trial. Someone came, and he was sent to the Zhenfu Division to await trial. Tian Ergeng sneered, this guy dared to unite with Jiangnan Shizi to oppose the reform, even if he did not participate in the assassination plan, he must have something to do with the mastermind behind the scenes.

Kong Yinzhi was arrested here, and on the Shandong side, Jinyiwei and Dongchang raided the Kong family's industry and controlled the personnel of the Kong family.

The Confucian family has been operating in Shandong for many years, and can operate tax-free, but the large land annexation can be described as the first large landowner in Shandong.

Imagine that the rise and fall of other landlord classes is affected by the results of the imperial examinations, and if a landlord family cannot cultivate a scholar who can be admitted to the examination, the family business will decline. However, the Kong family has no such troubles, and there are tax-exempt Yan Sheng Gong from generation to generation, whether it is to operate land or do business, it is very easy, not to mention that as Yan Sheng Gong, everyone in the world has to give them the face of the Kong family. is also very open in the officialdom, what is it to build tens of millions of acres of fertile land?

Of course, the Kong family has a large number of people and spends a lot, so although the accumulated wealth is there, it is actually not too much.

After all, for a long-lasting family, it is also very generous to spend money to enjoy. There is not so much sense of crisis, so these lands are the most valuable property of the Kong family.

The Kong family was given a pot by Zhu Youxiao, but the news was tightly sealed. Of course, it was impossible for Zhu Youxiao to kill the entire Kong family, so he quickly selected one from the side line of the Kong family, and then named Yan Shenggong.

After all, the Ming Dynasty was a political system that governed the country under the banner of Confucianism, and although Zhu Youxiao is now engaged in a new socialist model, the Confucian gadgets are still retained on the surface for the time being.

The poisoning case in the palace soon came to an end, and the mastermind behind it was Concubine Zheng. But when interrogating Concubine Zheng. She refused to say a word, and the factory guards had no way to torture her.

Zhu Youxiao, who knew that this was the result, was not surprised, and Concubine Zheng was also put into the cold palace by Zhu Youxiao to be closely guarded.

As Emperor Wanli's favorite woman, Zhu Youxiao naturally couldn't cut her down, so he could only let her spend her life in the cold palace. Under the guard, this woman can no longer set off any storms in the palace.

The poisonous snake in the palace was dealt with, and Zhu Youxiao's family was much safer.

At the same time as the large-scale raid of the house, Zhu Youxiao summoned all the ministers of the Han Imperial Party into the palace to hold a pre-imperial meeting. At this imperial meeting, Zhu Youxiao officially established the eldest prince as the crown prince.

If something happens to him, the crown prince will ascend the throne. The queen and the two concubines took care of the crown prince until adulthood. If something happens to the emperor and the crown prince, then the second prince will ascend the throne and succeed to the throne, and the queen and the two concubines will also be under the guardianship.

Anyway, there are multiple backup plans, and Zhu Youxiao now has two sons, both of whom can ascend the throne and succeed to the throne. Including him, in order to carry out a coup d'état, the father and son must be killed. As long as one of them is not dead. The coup d'état was declared a failure. At the same time, after Zhu Youxiao was hanged, there were three guardians in the harem, as long as the queen, the good concubine, and the pure concubine did not die, the coup also failed.

Whatever the alternative, the sole purpose is to ensure the continuation of reform. Avoid the death of people.

At this time, the Han Emperor Party was already tied to the same chariot by Zhu Youxiao, and if the Ming reform action was destroyed, then they would not end well.

With these contingencies in place, the plans of the old anti-reform interest groups to try to bring about a coup d'état by murdering the emperor were completely ruined.

However, there is no possibility of success in the military coup, and all the troops in the capital are captured by Zhu Youxiao, and they cannot be transferred at all without an order from the palace.

At this time, a piece of news came that King Fu was reversed.

As Zhu Youxiao expected, it was the Jiangnan scholars who tried to stage the coup d'état, they had deep pockets and had been involved in politics for many years, and the emperor was not mysterious or supreme in their eyes. The emperor is just a spokesman for their interests, and it is not the first time that the emperor has been killed.

They had long wanted to kill Zhu Youxiao, but they never had a chance. In the past, they had a lot of money, and they could smash the emperor to death if they threw money, and there were always eunuchs and palace maids in the palace who were greedy for money, and there were even ministers who were greedy for money, and they could poison the emperor to death by working together.

It's just that after Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he straightened out the palace as tightly as an iron bucket, and the emperor didn't sit in meditation and asked, let alone have any bad habits, and the imperial dining room was even more guarded, and they had no chance to poison the emperor at all. As for the assassination operation, it was also a strategy that came out when there was no chance, this set of them themselves is not very good, and the scene is too big, which is easy to cause great involvement.

As expected, the assassination failed.

And Concubine Zheng promised to be responsible for poisoning the eldest prince, but she also failed.

Seeing that the coup d'état was a complete failure, the assassins were in the mouth of the tiger, and Concubine Zheng was also sent to the cold palace, Gyeonggi also carried out a severe crackdown, collected all the controlled equipment, and carried out strict searches of business travelers. There is obviously no second chance for the assassination, and even if there is, the success rate is not great.

The military coup is even more helpless, they have no military power at all.

Since this is the case, if the soft one doesn't work, the hard one will come, and the Fu King will directly turn it back.

King Fu is an important flag planted by the Jiangnan Shi clan, when the Emperor of the Apocalypse was killed in history, these people pushed Chongzhen to the throne, King Fu saw that the emperor had no chance with him, he was given up by the Jiangnan Shi clan, and then he began to completely indulge in wine.

In history, after the city of Beijing was captured by Li Zicheng, the son of King Fu was put on the throne of the ****** of the Southern Ming Dynasty by the Jiangnan Shi clan.

Now the emperor has become a traverser, Zhu Youzhen was also sent overseas by Zhu Youxiao, and King Fu was suddenly pushed out of a secondary candidate, and King Fu was already excited.

The rebellion was very smooth, and the Luoyang guards were bought by the Jiangnan Shi clan, and they took control of Luoyang on the same day, cut down the Luoyang prefect directly, and then pushed King Fu to the throne of the leader of the rebels.

With the large amount of money given to him by the support of the Jiangnan Shi clan, King Fu quickly recruited troops and attacked everywhere, while spreading the list of Henan, counting more than a dozen charges of Zhu Youxiao.

When the news reached the capital, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing.

If you are not afraid that King Fu will be opposed, you are afraid that he will not rebel.

Immediately issued an order, the Supreme Command immediately transferred the army assembled at the junction of Henan and Beizhili to Henan to quell the rebellion.

Fu Wang's reversal, those landlords, merchants, and scholars in Henan responded when they saw the list and seized the city, and all parts of Henan were simply on the list.

At this time, Henan had just carried out administrative reforms, and there were no police and armed police forces in the local area, and the landlords, merchants, and scholars were panicked.

In seven days, King Fu's rebels attacked all the way east to Kaifeng. Along the way, through the soldiers of those landlords, merchants, and scholars, as well as the young and strong people who were coerced, the size of King Fu's rebel army quickly rose to more than 300,000.

At this time, King Fu's confidence swelled to the extreme.

"Haha, Zhu Youxiao, you, a faint king, have acted perversely after ascending the throne, such as today's angry resentment, as soon as my king and teacher arrive, all the people will greet each other. Now that you have lost the hearts of the people, when I invade the capital, I will break your body into pieces. King Fu looked at the 300,000 army he pulled out and laughed excitedly.

In King Fu's view, this rebellion was simply a win.

The landlords, scholars, and merchants along the way responded one after another, which gave him extremely strong confidence. The landlords had the population and grain in their hands, the merchants had the money and grain, workshops, chariots, horses and ships, and the scholars had talents. Of course, these nobles were basically landlords, and some were merchants.

And those merchants were basically landlords, and they were also in business.

Under the multiple identities, a class of interests is formed. Zhu Youxiao's reform shook the position of these interest classes.

Not only did King Fu think that the rebellion was in his hands, but also those interest classes who supported King Fu also thought that King Fu would win this time. Many scholars, merchants, and landlords sent their children to serve around King Fu to assist King Fu in crusading against Zhu Youxiao, a faint monarch. (To be continued.) )
