Chapter 1001: Undercurrents are surging
Thousands of people pointed out, and died without a problem.
Under the gaze of the people of the whole capital, Feng Zhou personally led the yamen to the door, and even the arrogant and arrogant people could only obediently bow their heads, pinch their noses and admit that those usury were fake, and destroy those vouchers on the spot.
But even so, they didn't fall well!
Almost every "white glove" who lends usury was taken to the yamen by a sealed boat and sent to a prison to be cleaned up.
If you don't pay a "release fee" of thousands to 10,000 taels, don't think about going out.
In addition to the money and wealth sealed as a reward for his subordinates, the rest was sent to the palace. Therefore, whether it is the emperor or the queen mother, the empress, and even the crown prince in the palace, they are very supportive.
This is a justifiable snatch of money from the hands of the powerful, but no official can say "competing with the people for profit", because if he says it, he will definitely be associated with the "assassination of the court officials" and will be sent into a place of no return.
As the crackdown on the sealing of the boat continues to increase, more and more money has fallen in the hands of the palace and the officials, and more and more people can't sit still!
Taiping Palace, study.
The first Taiping King was the only non-Zhu royal family in the Ming Dynasty, but the sworn brother of the Yongle Emperor, and now it is only passed down to the third generation.
Although the Taiping King is no longer in charge of the army, he naturally does a lot of business, so he has always made a lot of money.
But during this period of time, the Taiping King suffered heavy losses, and he was ridiculed when he participated in the banquet of the powerful, so he was very angry with Feng Zhou's move, and at this time he was nervously discussing with his henchmen and staff about how to deal with it.
"Feng Zhou, this guy really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, he dares to go against this king, this king wants him to die without a place to be buried!"
The Taiping King's face was full of gloom.
Although he is not in charge of the military and does not have the surname Zhu, he is ambitious.
However, he himself knows his own family affairs, and with his own talents, he can only die if he acts rashly!
So he pinned his hopes on the next generation.
So after he heard the most secret news on the rivers and lakes, he secretly sent his son to that secret place under the pseudonym Gong Jiu to practice peerless magic skills in order to make a big plan.
He has such ambitions, and naturally knows the importance of money, so he hates what Feng Zhou has done.
What's even more terrifying is that Feng Zhou directly said that there are top masters in their mansion and the southeast palace, and even said his son's pseudonym, which is an eye medicine for the emperor!
For the Taiping Palace, once it is noticed by the royal family, it is such a terrible and terrifying thing!
Since that day, after the small court meeting, the Taiping King clearly felt Zhu Qizhen's vigilance and precaution against him.
That's not a good sign!
"The prince is angry, and if he can't bear it, he will make a big plan!"
His confidant Mr. Wu, with a calm face, said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has already taken precautions against the prince, and it is very unwise to act rashly at this time!"
"Of course the king understands this truth, but he really can't swallow this breath in his heart!"
How could the King of Taiping not know the secret? But his heart was really tight, and he was so dignified that the prince with a foreign surname was actually holding back on a small four-grade petty official, which was really ridiculous and generous.
"The prince doesn't need to be angry, naturally someone will take this breath for the prince!"
Mr. Wu smiled slightly, with a face of wisdom beads in his hand, if he sat in a wheelchair, he could be the emperor.
However, in the heart of King Taiping, if Mr. Wu holds an extra goose feather fan in his hand, he can sing "Liang's Father's Yin"!
"Oh, what did the gentleman teach me?"
So when he heard Mr. Wu's words, King Taiping's eyes lit up, and he couldn't bear the impatience in his heart.
"Feng Zhou is not the only one who has offended the prince!"
Mr. Wu gestured indifferently, seeing that the Taiping King was still frowning, he sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to continue pretending, and said directly: "It's okay for others, the King of Southeast is not a good-tempered person!"
"King of the Southeast?"
King Taiping's eyes lit up at first, and then he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Sir doesn't know, Your Majesty gave Fengzhou the sword of Shang Fang, and has the right to make decisions on the spot, although the king of the southeast is domineering, but his base camp is in Huacheng, and now although he is in the capital, he does not dare to confront Shang Fang's sword after all! That is a big crime to offend the holy face!"
Since the Taiping King is deep in mind and ambitious, he naturally understands the real power faction in the government and the opposition.
As a rare real power faction in the royal family, the king of the southeast sits in Huacheng, and the officials of the southeast sea trade are not ordinary figures, so the king of Taiping is naturally quite familiar with the king of the southeast, the princes of Tiannan.
The temper of the king of the southeast is true, but he is not a fool, otherwise he would not have gone to such a high position as the princes of the southeast, so naturally he would not have stiffened his neck with Zhu Qizhen.
Now is not the time for the founding of the country and the Jingnan and the Tumubao Change, the prestige of the princes and kings cannot penetrate into the civil system of the court, and there is a tendency to be further suppressed.
"Have you forgotten the assassins who were killed on the spot by Feng Zhou?"
Mr. Wu smiled lightly and continued to nod.
"The reckless people in the rivers and lakes, the arrangements of the Chengguo family, this king only knows a little bit about it, what did Mr. Wu mention him for?"
It seems that the Chengguo Mansion is in decline, and a good guard leader can't even beat a small four-grade official, so it can be seen what kind of talent they are wooing.
But he deliberately ignored the fact that Feng Zhou defeated Wei Ziyun, the former guard of the imperial guard, in one move on the Qinzheng Palace, and still regarded Feng Zhou as an ordinary civil official with inherent thinking.
Mr. Wu smiled bitterly, you can deliberately ignore the force of Feng Zhou, he can't be careless as a strategist, Feng Zhou's strength is indeed unexpected, whether it is a master invited by the Guogong Mansion or a master of the imperial guard, it seems that they were all dropped by a move, right?
"The prince may not know something, according to the news from Shuntian Mansion, those assassins who were killed were good at the White Lotus Sect!"
Mr. Wu said: "The king of the southeast can be a turtle with a shrunken head, but the bold guys of the White Lotus Sect may not necessarily buy the account of the imperial court!"
King Taiping's eyes lit up, nodded heavily, and sneered: "What Mr. said is that it would be better if he could use this opportunity to connect with the top level of the White Lotus Sect!"
What a fart!
Mr. Wu was speechless for a while, speechless at the political vision of the Taiping King.
The White Lotus Sect is known as helping millions of people, and has both appeal in the north, and more than thirty years ago, it launched the Tang Sai'er Uprising, and after the failure of the uprising, the sect leader Tang Sai'er disappeared without a trace, and the imperial court couldn't find her with all its efforts. It is enough to see the influence of the White Lotus Sect among the people at the bottom, and its strength is quite terrifying.
Since then, the imperial court has also beaten and pulled the White Lotus Sect, not only sending people to divide the relevant sects, but also paying close attention to the top level of the White Lotus Sect, so the top leaders of the White Lotus Sect at this time are all bent on making a fortune, and they don't dare to have the slightest delusion, otherwise what awaits them is the thunderous blow of the court.
The high-level of the White Lotus Sect is also smart, and in order to survive, they have never intersected with the magnates in the capital, which made the imperial court relax its vigilance a little, but once it is involved with them, the fun will really be great.
The dignified king surnamed Vassal King outside the capital actually hooked up with the White Lotus Sect, and it was self-evident what he wanted to do.
Even if the Taiping Mansion and a certain hidden force on the rivers and lakes colluded with each other, it was easy for the imperial court to deal with them.
King Taiping is not a fool, as soon as he said it, he knew that Meng Lang was there, and it was very far-fetched to change the topic: "Even if you contact the good hand of the White Lotus Sect, it will take a long time!"
He hated Feng Zhou to the core, but he couldn't wait that long.
"Don't worry, Lord Wang, it's not just us who have offended this guy!"
Mr. Wu smiled, with a gloomy smile on his face, and said coldly: "Those guys whose interests have been damaged, how can they watch this guy still live a chic and comfortable life?"
"No, the wind is so tight, do those guys have the courage to commit crimes against the wind?"
Taken aback, his eyes became more solemn than ever.
"Lord Wang, don't you know, some guys' birthdays have been too long, and I really think that His Majesty is a kind mud bodhisattva. ”、
Mr. Wu's eyes were deep, and he sneered faintly......
