In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhen sat on the brocade couch, and there were many recitals on the imperial case. Even if they no longer have to do everything themselves, and delegate the power to handle ordinary matters to the cabinet and the celebrant and the celebrant of ceremonies, there are still too many affairs every day, and it seems that the notes on the case can never be completed.

Most of the notes were piled aside, and there were only two letters left in front of them, from Lu Xiangsheng and Xu Xiancun.

The two people said the same thing in the recital, but the angle of the recital was completely different.

Regarding the process of quelling the rebellion of King Fu, Lu Xiangsheng only mentioned a few words lightly, focusing on what he saw along the way.

"In Gyeonggi, although the people are poor and the complexion is acceptable, the fields are cultivated and harvested in an orderly manner, south of the self-defense Hui Mansion, the people are all in rags, there are not a few teenage children naked in the fields, and the roadside homeless people are often encountered, 351 groups of dozens of people, their eyes are dull like walking corpses, begging along the way, although they are not afraid of encountering large armies. Many homeless people dared to attack the team in order to stutter, and they were bewitched by the people of Fuwangfu. In the Fuwang Mansion, carved railings and painted columns, brocade clothes and slaves, gold and silver like mountains, old grain decay, silk and bamboo sound, like heaven on earth, and a mansion apart, the people are like ...... hell"

Lu Xiangsheng didn't put forward any of his opinions, but all his feelings and thoughts were in a bland description, Zhu Youzhen looked at it several times, and sighed: "The end of the world!" ”

"Don't worry too much, Lord Lu may have exaggerated a little ......," Cao Huachun, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly comforted.

Zhu Youzhen ignored Cao Huachun's comfort, but put Xu Xiancun's recital in front of him again. Although he has never been out of the palace, let alone out of Beijing, Zhu Youzhen knows that what Lu Xiangsheng said is not exaggerated, and even the description is not the worst, because he has seen something even worse in the picture, which is countless times worse than what Lu Xiangsheng described in his music.

Xu Xiancun's style is completely different from Lu Xiangsheng's, and he talks about the process of counterinsurgency and his important performance in the counterinsurgency, focusing on the jade seal and dragon robe of King Fu that he searched King Fu's mansion to collect, as well as the confession that King Fu wanted to rebel obtained by interrogating everyone in King Fu's mansion. Finally, he mentioned the letters of contact between King Fu and other vassal kings found from King Fu's mansion, suspecting that King Lu of Zhou and King Lu were also involved in King Fu's rebellion, and applied to track down King Lu of Zhou and other vassal kings in Henan! At the end of the note, the amount of money obtained from the raid of the Fu Wang's Mansion was attached.

"You saw Xu Xiancun's recital, what do you want to say?" Gently tapping the song with his fingers, Zhu Youzhen said lightly.

"The old slave has seen it," Cao Huachun replied respectfully, "According to the report of the secret agent of the East Factory sent by the old slave, Xu Xiancun was quite careful in his work, and he did not stretch out his hand indiscriminately, plus Lu Xiangsheng sent people to supervise and restrain him, and there was not much greed for ink in the process of raiding the Fu Wangfu. ”

"But did you find less than two million taels of silver? How is this possible? Zhu Youzhen was a little unconvinced.

Cao Huachun smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the Dongchang secret agents also heard the words of Lu Xiangsheng and his subordinates, and may be able to relieve Your Majesty's suspicions." ”

Immediately said what Lu Xiangsheng and Li Yanzhi said as it was, Zhu You nodded slightly after listening to it, it seems that his appetite was amplified by the seizure of Wei Zhongxian, and it is also, a vassal king with no rights, just by looting and oppressing the people, he can get so much money, and I don't know how many people in Henan have been ruined by King Fu!

"Your Majesty, many officials in the court have already disagreed, saying that the review of the vassal king should be the responsibility of the Henan envoy, and the Jinyi guard should not overstep his authority." Cao Huachun said.

Zhu Youzhen smiled coldly: "That's an ordinary case, and now it involves rebellion, so naturally the factory guard will be used!" Wait for tomorrow to announce the ironclad evidence of King Fu's rebellion in the court, and they will have nothing to say. ”

These civil officials, don't think I don't know what you think? It's not that you covet the huge wealth left by King Fu! If you were to be in charge of investigating the case, it would be nice if 10% of this huge wealth could reach me!

"Your Majesty, Jinyiwei has repeatedly participated in major cases, and Xu Xiancun has trained those three hundred martial artists, and he has a deep relationship with the Praetorian Guard, is he more powerful? The old slave was afraid that he would not be able to lose his tail in the future. Cao Huachun reminded softly.

Zhu Youzhen turned his head and glanced at Cao Huachun slightly, knowing in his heart that Cao Huachun was jealous that Xu Xiancun was reused. Dongchang and Jinyiwei have always been either the east wind overwhelming the west wind, or the west wind overpowering the east wind, this is to see that Jinyiwei is in full swing, Cao Huachun, the commander of the East Factory, is a little unable to sit still.

"Do you know what happened to the previous commanders of Dongchang?" Zhu Youzhen asked lightly.

Cao Huachun's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty atoned for your sins, it was the old slave who talked too much." ”

Successive commanders of Dongchang, whether it is Wang Zhen, Wang Zhi, or Shang Ming, Liu Jin, or even Feng Bao, Wang An, Wei Zhongxian, there are few good ends!

"You are an old man from the Xindi, and the eunuch in this palace is the one I trust the most," Zhu Youzhen continued, "So I asked you to supervise Dongchang, in order to monitor the Jinyi Guard and the world for me, and Xu Xiancun is just a knife on the surface, and no matter how powerful he is, it is just a word from me."

So you don't have to compete with him for the limelight, you just need to keep an eye on him for me. Dongchang and Jinyiwei, there is no need to be on the bright side. I hope you can start and finish well, and don't follow Wei Zhongxian's old path. ”

"Your Majesty's words, the old slave remembers, the old slave doesn't dare to be delusional." Cao Huachun kowtowed and stood up.

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said no more. He is still very relieved about Cao Huachun, but no matter how relieved he is, he has to beat him from time to time.

"What do you think of Lu Xiangsheng and Xu Xiancun?" Zhu Youzhen asked.

Cao Huachun hesitated: "I'm afraid the old slave can't say it......"

"Say what you want!" Zhu Youjian didn't have a good airway.

"These two people are not very compatible, and their personalities and work styles are completely different."

Cao Huachun thought for a while and continued: "Lu Xiangsheng is like a strong pine on a cliff, with deep roots and straight and high, looking down on the earth, he is a person with great ambitions, he has people in his heart, and he should be a famous minister!" ”

And Xu Xiancun, like a vine born on the ground under the cliff, yearns to climb up, has no wind and no reputation, and wants to get ahead. This kind of person is unscrupulous and reckless in order to do things, and there is no good or evil in his heart! ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at Cao Huachun differently, but he didn't expect this guy's analysis to be quite profound. But think about Cao Huachun's small entry into the palace, studying in the inner study, and later entering the Xinwang Mansion, on reading and learning, I am afraid that he is not as good as the emperor, and it is conceivable that he can have such knowledge.

"What about yourself?" Zhu Youzhen asked with a smile.

"The old slave is a dog, loyal to His Majesty, His Majesty will let the old slave do whatever the old slave wants, and let the old slave bite whoever he wants." Cao Huachun said with a smile.
