Chapter 187 This has nothing to do with me
With so many lists reported, His Majesty must be an iron-fisted method, but with so many people, the focus is also different, and the power of the clan is more complex and too scattered, I'm afraid that a group will be released in the end, so the main force this time should be against those people from the clan.
"So this list can't be submitted like this, Gonggong Lu should submit two lists, put the key people in care on one on one, and put some dispensable people on the other list, what if you let go of one horse first, and then have time to trouble them." Yan Song still maintained this smiling appearance, and killed the leading tiger first, and the rest were naturally not to be afraid.
"Thank you Lord Yan for mentioning it, otherwise it will ruin Your Majesty's big business." Lu Fang hurriedly expressed his gratitude, there was nothing wrong with him being punished, but if it ruined His Majesty's big business, it wouldn't work.
"That's not as serious as Gonggong Lu said, even if you miss it this time, then there will be next time, can you still think that these people can escape the palm of His Majesty's hand? Dream, sooner or later, what we have to do is nothing more than to let Your Majesty worry a little. Yan Song saw it very thoroughly, who His Majesty wanted to do was not a matter of one sentence, and he didn't even need an excuse.
However, those of them who are courtiers naturally can't let His Majesty bear this infamy, and a slight change will have another result, so why not do it.
"Lord Yan taught me a lesson."
"Haha, no hindrance, we are officials in the same dynasty, naturally I hope that Your Majesty, I hope that Daming will get better and better, if there is any negligence in Yan's work, I hope that Gonggong Lu will definitely point it out."
"Lord Yan is serious, then I will draw up a new list and send it to Your Majesty." Lu Fang didn't have a lake, so he hurriedly reformulated, if the target was only a member of the clan, it might be much more convenient, and those who escaped the catastrophe, at this time, there was only one way for Mingzhe to protect himself in front of them.
When Zhu Houxi saw the list, he couldn't help but be surprised, this Zhu Yanyuan is a talent, we don't know if this is true or not, anyway, it looks like it's a thing, these people on the list can really be caught if they want to be caught, talent, which saves him a lot of worry.
"Is that all there is to them?" Zhu Houxi took a closer look, in fact, there are quite a few, but he is still a little dissatisfied, this may be because the people's hearts are not enough.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Lord Yan means to single out the people of the clan separately, and this time they will be the main target." Lu Fang nodded slightly, he naturally wouldn't take the credit that shouldn't have been him, it was completely unnecessary, His Majesty's favor to him was enough, there was no need to make Lord Yan feel uncomfortable for this little thing, there was no impermeable wall in the world.
"Eh, if you have a heart, then even if they are lucky with the rest of these people, let's catch the above batch first, you don't want to get involved, just let Zhu Yanyuan take Jinyiwei's people to go, just let him interrogate, I'm too lazy to care about this." It just so happens that there is a shortage of people now, and there is such a talent as Zhu Yanyuan, so there is no need to use it in vain, and it is not easy to say whether there will be thunder or something in it, let him flow a wave first.
"No." Lu Fang nodded slightly, he was actually not very good at this aspect, he had a specialization in the art industry, and his personality determined that he basically had no way to do these things.
And his position is here, to be sleek and tolerant, if he is arrogant, it is easy to be disgusting, and there have been a lot of things recently, and he really can't get away.
People are in good spirits when they are happy, and those who know the times are Junjie, I have to say that Zhu Yanyuan is still very knowledgeable about current affairs, but those princes will drag one or two into the water at most this time.
But it doesn't matter, his main purpose this time is to reduce the welfare of the clan, as for the idle prince, you can keep it, the problem is not very big, it is just a title, and if you keep it, you will keep it, this thing is not up to him to recognize it, if he really doesn't want to recognize it another day, just change it to another title, then it doesn't mean anything for you to keep a so-called prince title.
It is estimated that they will also recognize the reality at that time, and there is no need for Zhu Houxi to think of some new systems.
Zhu Houxi was thinking about it, and the little eunuch below came to report that the Queen Mother was here.
Zhu Houxi was still quite surprised to hear the news, Empress Dowager Zhang, what is she doing?
After coming in, I saw her only a handful of times, since he became the master, the status of this Empress Dowager Zhang is still very embarrassing, after all, she is not Zhu Houxi's mother, and the two don't see each other much, but fortunately, Zhu Houyu is still good to her, although she doesn't go much, but the supply of good food and drink continues, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace have not decreased.
The attitude of the emperor also determines the attitude of the people below, the palace is a very realistic place, the warmth and coldness of people are realistic, Zhu Houxi's attitude is here, the life of the Empress Dowager Zhang is still very good, she should be content every day to appreciate the flowers and embroidery.
In addition, Zhu Houyu didn't have a concubine or anything, the harem was very empty, she could run as she could, and the two sides could be regarded as well water and not river water, so Zhu Houxi wondered what this Mrs. Zhang was doing, there should be no intersection between the two sides, right?
But although he thinks so, when people come, they always want to meet, and Zhu Houxi is still quite curious.
In fact, I don't know how to face her, and this Empress Dowager Zhang is not the same, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding between the two parties.
"Your Majesty is well." As soon as Empress Dowager Zhang came in, she gave Zhu Houxi a slight salute, which was considered to have given Zhu Houxi enough face and told Zhu Houxi that she knew her position very well.
In fact, this is unreasonable, but Zhu Houxi doesn't care, what he cares about is that he looks like this as soon as he comes up, and he probably has something to do with him, so he said, he has nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, and he hasn't seen it a few times a year, so this sudden visit must be a bit of a problem.
"What is the Queen Mother doing, I can't stand it, come here, take a seat." Zhu Houyu didn't hold the shelf, although it was, but people were really very cooperative with him, when Zhu Houxi first became the master, this Empress Dowager Zhang didn't do anything except help coordinate, and she was very cooperative to send this country to Zhu Houxi's hands, so he should be grateful to this queen mother.
But although he said that, Zhu Houxi didn't let the strange woman do the idea of her own bed, just find a bench to sit on, just see what is going on, and look at the time should be the most recent thing.
Women, their hearts are soft, especially the lack of love in the harem, it is estimated that someone in her mother's family has committed an accident, knowing that she is anxious about herself, she still comes over hard, why bother.
And when she comes up, she salutes, and the two sides don't meet, no matter how she is, she is Zhu Houxi's nominal mother, at least in the eyes of the world, why bother.
Zhu Houxi asked people to serve some tea and pastries, because he didn't eat these things, and he didn't usually prepare them here.
Empress Dowager Zhang sat down, Zhu Houyu didn't speak, the embarrassing atmosphere spread between the two sides, the main thing was that there was really no intersection, Zhu Houyu didn't know what to say, just waited for Empress Dowager Zhang to speak.
Empress Dowager Zhang sat a little cramped, feeling a little uncomfortable, and hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking: "The mourning family came this time, and there is indeed something to do......
"It's been almost a year and a half since I became the master of the Forbidden City." Zhu Houxi didn't let her continue, and opened his mouth directly.
Empress Dowager Zhang was stunned for a moment, but then picked up the conversation and responded softly: "Yes, it's been almost a year and a half." ”
Although she has lived in the deep palace for a long time, because of Zhu Houxi's attitude, in fact, she is also doing well, and it is not a long time, but a lot of things have happened outside, and many people have come to her to complain, but what can she do, she is just a woman who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, but after a series of things later, she does not feel that the emperor has done anything wrong.
Since Zhu Houxi became the master, there has never been a shortage of silver taels in the palace, and there are all kinds of strange gadgets, there is no shortage of fun in her, this generosity is different from before.
"Speaking of entering the Forbidden City, I would like to thank the Queen Mother for her help, if it weren't for the Queen Mother's help, I'm afraid I wouldn't have come in so easily, and the Queen Mother has never intervened in the government after becoming the owner, I thank you here."
Zhu Houxi directly put things on the bright side, indeed, without the help of Empress Dowager Zhang, it would be difficult for him in the early stage, and Empress Dowager Zhang's failure to block it was the greatest help to him, otherwise he would not be able to display it even if he had great ambitions.
"No, the mourning family didn't help much, it was all the emperor's own credit, all the mourning family could do was not to add to the chaos, after all, this is the world of your Zhu family, and the mourning family just handed over this world to the hands of the Zhu family."
Empress Dowager Zhang shook her head, she didn't take credit, this world originally belonged to the Zhu family, it was already very good that she could get this treatment, and she didn't ask for anything, but her mother's side, there was really no way, she had already come to her several times, even her old mother came to force her to die, what could she do.
"The Queen Mother is modest, she has no desire for power, and how many people can do it, and now it has been more than a year since the death of the imperial brother."
Zhu Houxi changed his words and directly mentioned Zhu Houzhao.
"yes." Speaking of Zhu Houzhao, Empress Dowager Zhang's expression was a little dark, her son left at a young age, as a mother, she knew the grief, and she almost didn't ease up and followed at that time.
"How does the Queen Mother think the imperial brother died?" Zhu Houxi smiled and looked at the Empress Dowager Zhang, for Zhu Houxi's death, these guys can't escape the involvement, anyway, it's not a normal death.
"Isn't it a cold?" Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhu Houxi with some doubts, this was a long time ago, she had already accepted it, and she didn't know what the emperor proposed to do.
"Cold? Do you believe it yourself, you must know that the imperial brother can fight the tiger and leopard, but it's just a falling into the water, a cold, how can you just leave like this, do you believe it yourself, the queen mother? Zhu Houxi looked at the Empress Dowager Zhang with a smile, these people are really ruthless, Zhu Houzhao's last time must be desperate.
I heard that he finally wanted to change the imperial doctor, but unfortunately they didn't let him change at all, and he gave you death.
But to be honest, that guy also deserves it, you don't know anything, and you dare to move the tax aspect, you don't have enough strength, that is Tie Hanhan, Zhu Houxi is not moving now, it's not that he doesn't dare now, it's just that the time hasn't come yet, on the other hand, he is not short of this money for the time being, so he didn't move.
But when was Zhu Houzhao at that time, there were few of his own people around him, and the Eight Tigers he cultivated were almost beaten, not to mention bringing it up, he shouldn't have this thought, he was really bold, no, it was very reasonable to die.
"You mean, you mean that the prince of the mourning family was killed by a traitor? Who is it, who is it exactly? Empress Dowager Zhang stood up reluctantly, her fists clenched, a mouthful of silver teeth were about to be crushed, she always thought that her child died accidentally, but listening to the emperor say this, she knows something inside, if she knows who it is, she will eat its flesh, dismantle its bones, and solve the hatred in her heart.
"Well, I didn't check it, and there must not be any clues left in such a big matter, but the death of the imperial brother must be a little strange, it can only be said that he is not careful enough, and he also has a mind that he shouldn't have, even if I have such a big advantage now, I didn't say that I want to change the tax, the imperial brother's courage is still too big."
In fact, it can't be said that Zhu Houzhao is bold, who would have thought about it, Zhu Houzhao really hasn't investigated this matter, after all, the biggest beneficiary of Zhu Houzhao's death is him, he has nothing to do to investigate, it's just those people, and when the time comes, they will do it together, but he didn't think about helping Zhu Houzhao take revenge.
Of course, if you really want to investigate, it's not that there are no clues at all, not to mention anything else, Yang Tinghe still doesn't know anything about it, but it's completely unnecessary, if you say it, Empress Dowager Zhang will definitely go to Yang Tinghe for trouble, isn't it uncomfortable to find.
"What does the emperor mean by this, does Wu'er deserve to die?" For no reason, Empress Dowager Zhang's face also showed a trace of coldness, and Zhu Houxi's gaze was also a little unkind, after all, after the emperor's death, this is the biggest beneficiary.
"Eh, don't look at me, the Queen Mother, at that time I was still cultivating on Wudang Mountain, and I didn't know that I was a prince, but if I think about it, there must be a problem, although I don't know who it is, and if I don't want to check, there is no need to check, but I know that it was probably done by those people, and such a big thing must not be done by one or two people."
Zhu Houxi raised his eyebrows and hurriedly took himself out, don't carry this pot yourself.
Empress Dowager Zhang thought about it, it was also the same reason, Zhu Houxi didn't know anything at the time, and even if the emperor died, how could he know that the throne would definitely be given to him, thinking of this, his expression eased slightly.
"Who is it?" Empress Dowager Zhang's voice was a little hoarse, and it was not easy to accept the fact that her son died, but now she was told that her son's death was not an accident, how could she stand it.
"It's all the people who have passed the cake, he wants to raise taxes, he wants to go to Jiangnan, whose interests are this harming?"
Zhu Houyu didn't say it thoroughly, but the reason is such a reason, of course, there are not many things that Empress Dowager Zhang can do, what can a woman in the deep palace do, of course, what can't be done Zhu Houyu doesn't want to make a fuss, what should be said is still to be said, lest this guy think too much.
