As soon as Zhu Youzhen returned to the Qianqing Palace, a eunuch came to report, saying that the elders of the cabinet asked to see him.

Zhu Youzhen deliberately refused to see him, but after thinking about it, he still ordered them to come in. At this kind of moment, in order not to cause a shock in the court, it is necessary to meet to show that he is okay.

"Your Majesty." Under the leadership of Huang Liji, the five pavilion elders knelt down and saluted at the same time, crying with joy.

The emperor, the king of a country, if something goes wrong, it will be a disaster for the Ming Society!

"Everyone, please be even, give me a seat." Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, and several little eunuchs carried Jindun over and placed them behind a few scholars.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shoufu Huang Liji sat down tremblingly, and said: "I heard that Your Majesty was assassinated, and the old minister was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, fortunately with the blessing of the ancestors and ancestors, Your Majesty is safe, and it is really a blessing for the community." ”

Several other scholars also expressed their worries and condolences over Zhu Youzhen's assassination, but by the time Sun Chengzong arrived, his speech was not so good.

"Your Majesty, as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, is responsible for the Ming Society, please don't be so reckless in the future, is it the Ming Jun who goes out of the palace at will in the white dragon fish suit? Don't do it again in the future. ”

Zhu Youzhen frowned slightly: "Can't I go out of the palace and walk?" ”

"If Your Majesty is an ordinary person, he can naturally do it. But Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and is responsible for the society, so naturally he can't act rashly! Sun Chengzong Ling Ran said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, don't go out of the palace in the future." Xu Guangqi sighed and persuaded as well. In the past year, Xu Guangqi's health has been very poor, except for going to the Royal Academy of Sciences, he has rarely joined the cabinet, and many times he has asked Zhishi to stay with Zhu Youzhen.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to put the community first." Zhou Yanru Wen Tiren also followed.

In other matters, Wen Tiren will agree with the emperor unprincipledly, but this kind of thing is rare to express his position.

Looking at the unanimous appearance of the elders of the pavilion, Zhu Youzhen sighed: "Okay, I know." ”

If you go out of the palace at will, you will encounter an assassination, and you don't need to be told by others, you have to be careful in the future.

On this day, the storm in Beijing was surging, and the brocade guards poured out of the nest and arrested everywhere in Beijing, and the people in the court were panicked, and they all had a premonition that a big change was coming.

In the harem, the queen and Concubine Yuan came to the Qianqing Palace one after another, and Zhu Youzhen comforted them and asked them to return to the palace.

"Your Majesty, it has been interrogated, one of the two assassins arrested in the store is called Fan Wusi, who is the son of Fan Yongdou, a Jin merchant, and the other is called Yuan Feng, who is a slave of the Fan family, and the other dead in the store are all Fan Yongdou's adopted sons or domestic slaves."

In the evening, Tian Ergeng entered the palace and reported the results of the interrogation to Zhu Youzhen.

"Fan Yongdou's family, didn't I order Fan Yongdou's family to be sent out, why are there so many family members outside?" Zhu Youzhen wondered.

"According to Weichen's interrogation, when Zhangjiakou changed, Fan Wusi and others were not in Zhangjiakou, but went to the south to buy goods. Tian Er plough road.

"How can the remnants of the Fan family have the ability to hide in the city of Beijing, how can they know my whereabouts and assassinate me, and can the people behind them be tried?" Zhu Youzhen asked.

Tian Ergeng shook his head: "I didn't ask for the time being, according to Fan Wusi and others, the person who contacted them and was responsible for sending them to the Beijing Division was a person called Fu Shopkeeper, but no one knew the background of Fu Shopkeeper, and he didn't catch Fu Shopkeeper at the scene." ”

"Then check, turn Beijing City upside down, so many assassins entered the city, and they all rushed to my side, but they couldn't find out, what's the use of asking you Jinyiwei?" Zhu Youzhen said angrily.

"Wechen is incompetent." Tian Ergeng hurriedly pleaded, "Your Majesty, that Fan Wusi can do such a thing, can know your whereabouts and ambush in advance, someone must report the news, I am afraid that there are eyes and ears of the other party around Your Majesty or in the West Garden, please ask Your Majesty to make a will, and Xu Chen will act cheaply." ”

Zhu Youzhen was silent for a moment: "Xiyuan can let you investigate, there are only so many people who know my whereabouts." As for the people in the palace, let Cao Huachun go and check. ”

In the inner palace, naturally you can't let Jinyiwei investigate, it's impossible.

"We're in command." Tian Ergeng received the order, his purpose is Xiyuan. Xiyuan is also a part of the palace, but it is outside the Forbidden City, and now there are Xiyuan guards stationed in Xiyuan, as well as some eunuchs and palace people, and some Jinyi guards on duty, and there are no concubines.

Soon, Qianqing Palace and Xiyuan moved at the same time.

All the people involved in this micro-service out of the palace were arrested, even the eunuchs and palace maids waiting beside Zhu Youzhen were no exception.

The palace has been cleaned up last time, the eunuchs who were in power in the eunuch era, the palace guards and the Han generals who were in charge of the palace guards were all cleared out of the palace, and they were replaced by eunuchs from the Xinwang Mansion.

Wait, noble son? Zhu Youzhen immediately frowned.

Because the nobles and the royal family are naturally one, although they did not trust the ability of the nobles' children, Zhu Youzhen still gave them some opportunities, and recruited a large number of Xungui's descendants to Xiyuan for training, trying to rely on the nobles to check and balance the civil officials.

After training, some of the Xungui children who really couldn't get on the stage were driven out of Xiyuan, a small number of Xungui children were included in the Praetorian Guard to lead the troops, and the remaining Xungui children served as instructors in Xiyuan. Some of them are Han generals, responsible for the honor guard work, their leader is Liu Wenbing, the son of the Marquis of Xinle, Liu Wenbing is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Liu of Xiaochun, Zhu Youzhen's cousin, committed suicide and martyrdom when the city of Beijing broke in the previous life, and Zhu Youzhen naturally did not doubt his loyalty.

But what about the other noble children?

In particular, the establishment of the tax department this time has touched the interests of too many nobles, who knows that no one is angry and takes risks?

Generally speaking, for these nobles, they can't be guilty of stabbing for a little profit, after all, this is a crime of beheading. But people's hearts are separated from their bellies, who knows if someone will, such as Hou Wu Weixian, who is obedient, will take risks?

If you set up your own tax department and tax all your noble properties, will anyone think that you are going to do something to them? And then in series? After all, he had previously taken down King Fu in the name of rebellion for the sake of silver, and in the eyes of a discerning person, King Fu naturally could not rebel. Even his uncle can move, so naturally he won't take those nobles to heart, I'm afraid that many nobles are very worried that they will be killed like King Fu, so they can do such a thing.

At this moment, Zhu Youzhen's heart fluctuated, and various thoughts swirled in his mind.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and looked resolute.

If you don't do it, use this opportunity to have a thorough cleansing!
