Chapter 32: Uncle Fuwang, I've wronged you
Xu Xian's errand of being in Xiyuan to guard the new army has come to an end, in fact, the main task assigned to him by Zhu Youzhen is to train those noble sons and warriors, and to shock them with the cruelty of the leader of the brocade guard.
Now whether it is the children of Xungui or Wu Jinshi, they have all been trained to be what Zhu Youzhen wants, and they also grit their teeth with hatred towards Xu Xian, since Lu Xiangsheng, who is in charge of military training, has returned to Beijing, Xu Xiancun can be regarded as a successful retirement.
As for the Praetorian New Army, Zhu Youzhen will not let Xu Xiancun get his hands on it again.
Xu Xiancun did a very good job, and trained those noble children very obediently, Zhu Youzhen expressed his satisfaction, and gave him the post of commander of the Jinyi Guard as promised. Now, Xu Xiancun is the number one person in Jinyiwei.
Zhu Youzhen summoned Xu Xiancun to assign him a new task.
At this moment, in the Qianqing Palace, the eunuchs and palace maids were all driven out, and only Wang Chengen was left alone by Zhu Youzhen's side.
"I called you here today because I have something important for you to do." Zhu Youzhen said lightly.
"Your Majesty, please!" Xu Xiancun hurriedly pricked up his ears.
"I heard that Uncle Fu Wang is a little dishonest, you sent a secret agent to check for me to see what he is doing and whether he has any intention of rebellion?" Zhu Youzhen said lightly.
"Fu Wang? Conspiracy? Xu Xiancun's mouth grew in shock, and he couldn't believe his ears.
Fu Wang Zhu Changxun, the third son of Emperor Wanli and Emperor Wanli's favorite son, the current emperor's own uncle, how could he rebel?
"Your Majesty, you, how did you find out?" Xu Xiancun's voice trembled, if King Fu really rebelled, this would definitely be a big dereliction of duty on the part of Jinyiwei.
Zhu Youzhen sneered: "You are the commander of the Jinyi Guard, so you asked me?" ”
"Don't dare!" Xu Xiancun's heart suddenly sudden, and he quickly knelt down to ask for guilt.
Inspector Zhu You sighed, turned his back to Xu Xiancun, "Uncle Fuwang, I was dissatisfied with my father as the crown prince back then, and I desperately asked the court for this and that, just the emperor's grandfather gave him 20,000 hectares of fertile land, and almost half of Henan's fields became his family's, not only that, but also the miscellaneous taxes of the states along the Yangtze River from Jiangdu to Taiping, and the tea tax of Yanjing in Sichuan, the emperor's grandfather gave it to him, I heard that the silver in his palace is more than my inner treasury, and he is still insufficient, in an attempt to expand the royal guard. ”
"What the hell is he going to do?" Zhu Youzhen turned around, his eyes were full of anger, "Does he still want to snatch the throne from me?" ”
The emperor's anger made Xu Xiancun extremely frightened, he closed his mouth tightly, and he didn't dare to respond at all, the royal water was too deep, even if he was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he couldn't figure it out.
"So, you go to find out what King Fu is going to do for me, and find the 'real evidence' of the rebellion!" Zhu Youzhen said coldly, aggravating his tone on the four words of real evidence.
"Wechen is going to check, go check it in person!" Xu Xiancun kowtowed heavily. can stand out from the Jinyi guards who are full of masters, Xu Xiancun is naturally not a fool, and he understands what the emperor means.
"If you want to investigate secretly, you must find out the real evidence of the rebellion, I don't want people in the world to say that I don't miss my flesh and blood!"
"Weichen understands that he will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust." Xu Xiancun agreed repeatedly, he knew that the emperor had made up his mind and must cut off the Fuwang Domain.
Zhu Youzhen said: "You can do this matter yourself." In addition, there is one more thing that you Jinyiwei have to do, send people to the front line of the Great Wall of Xuanda Jizhou to check whether there are any merchants who have smuggled grain and iron tools to the Mongols and Jiannu privately? I, the Ming Dynasty, imposed a strict blockade on the outside of the customs, prohibiting the smuggling of any iron grain out of the customs, but why did Jiannu still have enough ability to attack Liaoxi every year? Is it that the businessmen in Shanxi defied the ban of the imperial court and smuggled the material resources of the military state?
If you send a secret agent to investigate, you must find out the profiteers who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, but do not alarm them and do not leak the news. If they don't do well, the relevant people will be executed, and their families will be exiled to Qiongzhou Island! ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will handle this matter well." Xu Xiancun hurriedly agreed. There was a faint look of excitement in his heart, Jin Yiwei, the emperor's lackey, Eagle Dog, if he was idle all the time, he would be incompetent. Handle cases, handle big cases, and the bigger the case, the more it can reflect the value of Jinyiwei!
It's not enough to win a vassal king, but also to do something to the Jin merchants in Shanxi, Xu Xiancun feels excited when he thinks about it! Jin Shang, that's an incomparably powerful existence! Of course, only a few Jin merchants smuggled with Mongolian Jiannu, and the really rich Jin merchants did not do this kind of thing a long time ago, but went to Yangzhou to become a big salt merchant, but the Jin merchants were the most grouped, who knows if there is a connection between them?
If you get the smuggling businessman, maybe it will be a series, and maybe even many bigwigs in the DPRK will be involved! It's exciting to think about. But Xu Xiancun has some regrets that his people can't do it directly, but can only investigate secretly, which will undoubtedly be tied.
Xu Xiancun retreated and left, and Zhu Youzhen stood quietly in the hall, half loud, and sighed deeply.
The Jin merchants are just a bunch of profiteers who only care about making money and collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, Zhu Youzhen doesn't care. What he really cares about is King Fu, that's his own uncle!
Zhu Youzhen is not a cold-blooded and ruthless person, on the contrary, he cares about family affection very much. In the previous life, knowing that the vassal kings were all rich and rivaling the country, he never hit them with his idea. On the contrary, for the sake of fame, he fulfilled many unreasonable demands of King Fu.
However, I don't want to die again! I don't want to force the queen to hang myself one day, I don't want to kill my daughter with my own hands, and I think about the situation before I was martyred in my previous life, Zhu Youzhen is extremely heartbroken. Now Zhu Youzhen can still recall how frightened they were when he slashed his two daughters with his own sword, and how painful he was.
Uncle Fuwang, I know that you didn't rebel and won't rebel, but I'm helpless! Uncle Fu Wang, if you want to blame you for occupying too much wealth, if I don't take your wealth, sooner or later it will be cheaper and the thief! If you want to blame it, Taizu is too kind to his children and grandchildren, and raised you into a bunch of waste, and raised a parasite that drinks blood and sucks the marrow on the people of the world! If you want to blame the Ming Dynasty, the situation is getting more and more difficult, if I don't do it again, this Ming Dynasty will really be over, and then all your clans will be beheaded by Jiannu!
Most of those civil servants should be damned, I will do something to them sooner or later, but now is not the time. What's more, it is not one or two civil officials who are at fault, but the entire civil service class, and the entire imperial examination system has gone wrong. Those civil officials still need them, so, Uncle Fuwang, I can only wronged you first.
