Chapter 393: Liquidation

When Liu Guan saw Zhu Di, he bowed his head and howled: "If it weren't for Your Majesty's personal visit, the minister's life would almost be saved." ”

After that, he cried and cried.

His crying was so sincere that he almost made Zhang Anshi think that he was going to convulse.

Seeing Zhu Di's indifferent face.

Liu Guan didn't feel embarrassed: "The minister is in Jiangxi, and he noticed the strangeness of these chaotic ministers and thieves, so he was busy reporting it." But they found out, and they took the ministers into custody. Minister...... He is really incompetent, and he cannot worry about the king, but let the thief take advantage of it. If it weren't for His Majesty to bring troops, the ministers would definitely be broken into pieces by these chaotic ministers and thieves. ”

Zhu Di only said calmly: "Why didn't you notice it beforehand?" ”

"These rebellious ministers and thieves are treacherous, and they are ...... Although I felt strange, I had no evidence, and I didn't dare to impeach indiscriminately, but when I noticed it, it was too late. ”

Zhu Di looked at him coldly: "I still remember that you praised Xu Qiren and others a lot at the beginning. ”

Liu Guan was so frightened that he wanted to turn his back on him, and wailed: "Your Majesty, the ministers have been wronged for thousands of years! The minister's praise at the beginning was really caused by their deception, if Your Majesty does not believe it, but it can be thoroughly investigated. Your Majesty knows the minister, and the minister is a person...... Love...... Love ......"

Liu Guan twisted a little, but still said: "Love to take advantage of some small advantages, this is a thing that everyone knows about the whole court." But since he came here, the minister has no advantage of embezzling a penny here. At this point, I ask Your Majesty to order the factory guard to investigate the minister thoroughly, and if the minister gets half of the benefit, he will be punished with death. ”

Seeing that Zhu Di's face softened slightly, Liu Guan continued to make persistent efforts and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why the minister does not dare to be greedy is because the railway is related to the country, and the minister knows the importance. The second is that the minister noticed that the atmosphere in this place in Jiangxi was treacherous, as if there were dark clouds shrouded in it. ”

So the ministers were vigilant, and did not dare to get too close to them, and were wary of them. Sure enough, these damned rebels and thieves dared to do such a thing. After the minister found out, he scolded Xu Qi, who expected that Xu Qi was so mad that he dared to take the minister under house arrest. ”

Saying that, Liu Guan cried again: "The minister's subordinates were also injured by them for this, and one of them also lost an arm. At that time, the minister was in despair, and with his determination to stick to the minister's festival, he planned to set himself on fire and die at the place where he was in charge, but he was unexpectedly rescued by the people who guarded the minister. The minister only hated that he had no power to tie the chicken, that he had no way to live, that he could not die, that he could not share his worries for His Majesty, and that it was really a crime of death. ”

And when he had said that, he prostrated his head and did not stop.

Zhu Di glanced at him obliquely, silently, and said: "Since you already know the situation in Jiangxi, according to Qing, how should you deal with it?" ”

Liu Guan listened to the action of kowtowing, raised his head slightly and said: "This up and down has long been rotten, and the minister thinks that it must not be connived at again!" I don't know how many such rebellious ministers and thieves there are, and what has been caught so far is only one hundred. The minister thinks that the troubled times should be re-enacted. After His Majesty ascended to the pole, although the world was peaceful, it was also time to purge fiercely, and he must not be merciful. ”

Liu Guan looked very resentful, and gritted his teeth.

Zhu Di's eyes narrowed: "Really?" In addition, you have already heard about the Wu clan of Jiangyou, right? ”

Liu Guan said: "This Wu clan is a remnant of the Tartar Party, Taizu and His Majesty Kuanren, they have not yet settled accounts with them, but they have given them favor everywhere, not only do they not know the retribution, but they dare to do this, within the four seas, people and gods are angry!" I thought it was ...... The Wu clan should be eradicated as well, especially their protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials, and they should also be severely cracked down, so ...... Only then can the world be at peace. ”

Zhu Di put his hands behind his back and said, "That's ......."

As he spoke, Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and said: "Eradicate the matter of the rest of the Wu family's party, let Liu Guan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, preside over it, Zhang Qing, your Jinyiwei, as well as the East Factory, and the model battalion temporarily stationed here, are temporarily subject to Liu Guan's control." ”

Zhang Anshi had no objection, but said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Liu Guan was very moved, crying tears, and said: "Your Majesty is so trusted...... Minister...... The minister's body is broken, and it is difficult to report it. ”

Zhu Di waved his hand: "Stand down." ”

Liu Guan cried again, stood up slightly trembling, and turned to leave with tears.

At this time, Zhang Anshi frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I look at this Liu Guan ......"

Before Zhang Anshi's words were finished, Zhu Di said: "When the water is clear, there are no fish, I have seen too many people like Xu Qi, don't you think that even Liu Guan is a beautiful man?" ”

"Ah...... This ......" Zhang Anshi opened his mouth for a long time, but he was speechless for a while.

Zhu Di said: "Liu Guan has deep qualifications, he is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and it is best to let him be responsible for raiding his house and killing people here." Jin Yiwei is called helping, but he doesn't have to ask him for everything, whose head he wants to kill, and if he has enough money, he will report it to him, and let him sign and draw a token to sign it. He will bear the name of murder, and the factory guard can do it with my silver and the matter of cutting off people's heads. ”

Zhang Anshi opened his eyes slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the minister understands." ”

Zhu Di said: "People like Liu Guan should be used like this, this old thing ......"

Zhu Di snorted coldly, showing displeasure, and continued: "If not, according to this person's behavior, I would have killed him a hundred times." But although this person has a bad record, he has the same benefit. ”

Zhang Anshi was curious, so he said, "I don't know what the benefit is?" ”

Zhu Di said lightly: "He can see the direction of the wind, but he is not the kind of person who is stubborn." ”

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In this world, how many people can see the general trend clearly?" This person can do this, but it is admirable enough. ”

Zhu Di said: "Tonight, you have to work harder, and immediately settle the matter here." ”

Zhang Anshi was a little strange.

Zhu Di continued to look at Zhang Anshi and said, "Tomorrow morning, you will drive with me and return to Beijing immediately." ”

Zhang Anshi was surprised: "Your Majesty, so urgent? ”

Zhu Di said: "One day in the sky, one year in the world, my affairs in Jiangxi have been leaked. In this capital, I don't know how many people live like a year, and I don't know how many things will happen! You must know that what happens anywhere in the world will cause changes in the capital at any time. Just as a slight change in the capital will also lead to a change in the state capital. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Di narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a gloomy face: "Jiangyou Wu Clan, the influence is too great, I don't believe that this Wu Clan is not laid out in the capital, the enemy here is terrible, but in the capital, the enemy lurking around me is even more terrifying." ”

Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "The minister understands, and the minister will make the delivery." ”

Zhu Di said again: "Leave some reliable people to recover the stolen goods for me, but I am ...... Here, he was deceived of five million taels of silver. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, it's not two and a half million ......."

Having said this, I saw that Zhu Di was not angry.

Zhang Anshi suddenly understood something, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the people under the ministers will dig three feet into the ground, and they will also get back His Majesty's five million taels of silver." ”

Zhu Di was quite satisfied with Zhang Anshi's answer, so he said: "You are busy, this place was originally the fief of King Ning, and I am still here for the first time, I want to take a look." ”

The rope tower in the city of Nanchang Mansion is known as both water and fire, and it is said that it sits in Jiangcheng.

In that year, Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang fought in Nanchang, and the Shengjin Pagoda was destroyed in the fire, and the local government began to rebuild in the first year of Hongwu.

Therefore, at this time, the rope tower, the rubble is as new, and it is the most prosperous and lively place in Nanchang City.

By this time the city had returned to peace, and there had been a great gathering of the people.

But the government really set up a shed and began to distribute eggs here.

Whoever can memorize the notice written by Zhang Anshi can receive the eggs and distribute them for one day until they run out.

There are more than a dozen egg sheds set up in the city, and all of a sudden, there are thousands of empty alleys in the city, and long queues are lined up in many places.

It's noisy and full of people.

Zhu Di walked with his hands behind his back, at this time, he was wearing an ordinary brocade robe, Qiu Song behind him with dozens of guards, and there were hidden piles, quietly arming in the nearby streets and alleys.

Zhu Di stood on the rope tower, looking at the long dragon under the tower, his eyes were gloomy, for a long time, and suddenly said sadly: "My egg! ”

Qiu Song touched his nose, still like a stake.

Zhu Di turned his head, glanced at Qiu Song, and said, "What do you seem to want to say?" ”

Qiu Song said: "The eldest brother said, tell me to talk less." ”

Zhu Di looked at the son of the Duke of Qi with a pleasant face, and said with a slight smile: "It's okay to say anything, don't always be the eldest brother, the eldest brother." ”

Qiu Song thought for a while and said, "The minister is thinking, if a 3,000-pound bomb is thrown down from here, I am afraid that tens of thousands of people will be crushed to pieces." ”

Zhu Di: "......"

When Zhu Di was speechless, he saw Qiu Song continue: "But bomb throwing is a problem, three thousand catties is too heavy, I don't know if the flying ball can solve this problem." ”

Zhu Di couldn't help but say angrily: "Listen to your eldest brother and shut up." ”

Qiu Song glared at Zhu Di, as if he remembered something again, and suddenly calmed down and lowered his arrogant head.

…………

At dawn the next day, as soon as the morning light fell on the earth, Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi had already set off.

Liu Guante, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came to see him off.

He knelt at the gate of the city and cried out long live.

Zhu Di hit the horse and went straight.

However, when Zhang Anshi walked through the doorway behind him, he saw that Liu Guan was still kneeling here, and couldn't help but stop his horse and say, "Liu Gong, Your Majesty has gone far away." ”

Liu Guan raised his head and smiled: "The courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished, although it is far away, but it is in the heart of the courtier." ”

Zhang Anshi was amazed, he really wanted to get off the horse and receive more advice. To tell the truth, Liu Guan, Nanzhen Fusi, all kinds of case files about him are at least three feet tall, this guy can be described as a bad record, and there is no pattern, but this guy can always be added to the official rank, after the cruel Hongwu year, and in the atmosphere of the so-called 'Junzi Ying Dynasty' in the Jianwen Dynasty, he did not suffer too much exclusion and blows, and when Zhu Di ascended the throne, there were several major cases, and he was not there.

This guy ...... It's also a talent.

Zhang Anshi said: "The matter here, please ask Liu Gong." ”

Liu Guan said solemnly: "Your Majesty and Zhang Dudu can rest assured, I, Liu Guan, will eradicate this traitor and leave no one behind." ”

Zhang Anshi smiled dryly: "Haha, when Duke Liu returns to Beijing, I will ask Duke Liu to teach me." ”

Liu Guan said: "Don't dare to teach." ”

Zhang Anshi then rode his horse and chased Zhu Di.

It wasn't until all the people went far away that Liu Guanfang stood up.

There were people accompanying him on the side to support him, and Liu Guan had a murderous face: "I, Liu Guan, don't share the sky with the rebellious ministers and thieves, and today I will teach them to see the old man's methods, return to Xingyuan, and send the old man Wu and Xu Qiren to trial." ”

"Whoa."

…………

Capital.

Wenyuan Pavilion.

When the news began to circulate in the capital that His Majesty had actually visited Jiangxi privately, several scholars in Wenyuan Pavilion were dumbfounded.

Hu Yan and Jin Youzi are from Jiangxi, because they were even more shocked by the news that they didn't have beforehand.

Hu Yan found Yang Rong as soon as possible.

"Yang Gong, what's going on, why didn't Your Majesty even say hello...... This...... This ......"

Yang Rong glanced up at Hu Yan and said, "I warned you before, have you ever done what I said?" ”

"Do...... Do what? ”

"Tell your relatives not to stir up."

Hu Yan stammered: "I have repaired the book, what's the matter, Yang Gong thinks it's ......"

Yang Rong frowned and said, "There may be something wrong." ”

Hu Yan said: "No, maybe Your Majesty is just ...... Railway...... So ......"

Yang Rong interrupted him and said: "If you are concerned about the railway, there is a railway in Zhili, so why do you need to go far and near?" Unless there is a big problem with the railway in Jiangxi, His Majesty has to pay a private visit. ”

Hu Yan said movingly: "What big problems can there be with this railway?" ”

Yang Rong said: "Yes, what big problems can there be when you build a railway?" ”

He smiled slightly, with a sneering look in his eyes: "Whether there will be a problem, let's not say for the time being, but right now, it may not be peaceful." ”

Hu Yanhu said suspiciously: "Isn't it peaceful? ”

Yang Rong groaned, but stopped talking.

But two days passed.

In a mansion in Beijing, someone Pegasus sent a letter.

"Zeng Gong." The person who came took the letterhead and said, "There is a letter, and it has been sent urgently." ”

This person, who was called Zeng Gong, had obviously just been on duty, and his expression was solemn.

Such a letter was still sent urgently, not to mention that it was rumored that His Majesty was not in the capital, and after thinking about it, he must have gone to Jiangxi.

This Zeng Gong took the letter, and he couldn't wait to cut it open and take a look, and his face suddenly changed.

Zeng Gong...... You're ......"

This person who is known as Zeng Gong, his body is shaky, and he can't help but say: "How did things come to this point, how did it come to this point!" They were too bold, too bold. This is a great sin for the three clans......"

"Zeng Gong ......"

Soon, the person known as Zeng Gong slowly regained his composure, and after taking a deep breath, he said, "The water thieves of Jiujiang have surrounded Jiujiang City, Your Majesty...... Life and death are uncertain, and the city should have been breached by water thieves. ”

"Ah...... Zeng Gong means ......"

"Your Majesty is very likely to die."

"This ...... This ......" the man tried to show his grief.

This person surnamed Zeng couldn't help but show a painful look, and wept: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... Ah......h

Zeng Gong...... Is the message credible? ”

The man surnamed Zeng looked at him deeply: "It couldn't be more credible." ”

"So ......"

"Messengers, let them respond quickly."

"Swift response?"

"Quick, let people prepare a sedan chair, this matter, we have to discuss with the princes, now is not the time to sit here and wait to die, Your Majesty died in Jiujiang Mansion, and the time will ...... It is necessary to get to the bottom of it. ”

"Didn't you say that this was done by water thieves?"

The person surnamed Zeng glanced deeply at the visitor again before he said, "Everything...... It will all need to be said after the new monarch ascends the throne. Oh, by the way, nine times out of ten, Zhang Anshi is also dead. ”

As soon as these words came out, the person who came showed a look of shock and couldn't help it: "Dead? If so...... Yes...... Wedding. ”

The surname Zeng said: "Right now, who can succeed Zhang Anshi in charge of the Right Governor's Mansion and Nanzhen Fusi...... That's what matters. ”

The person who came lowered his head and was silent, and after half a sound, he raised his head slightly and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince...... Who is the most trusting ......?"

The man surnamed Zeng paced back and forth, his face cloudy.

He knew very well that the reason why someone was in a hurry to send this news was because the news was too critical.

In many cases, whoever preempts important information before others means ...... A great fortune.

The new monarch is about to ascend the throne, the world will change hands, and once the son of heaven and a courtier, at this time, it is the most suitable time to take this opportunity to cut off the opponent and make himself soar.

So, the man surnamed Zeng took a deep breath and said, "This matter still needs to be discussed with the princes, and this matter must be neat, if not...... Once the Nanzhen Fusi and the Right Capital Governor's Mansion fell into the hands of Zhang Anshi's old subordinates, such as Na Gao Xiang and Chen Li...... and in the future, it will be against us. ”

The person who came couldn't help but say, "What qualifications do these two have?" ”

The person surnamed Zeng shook his head and said, "It depends on the attitude of His Royal Highness the Prince." So this time...... Whoever can support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne quickly and stabilize the government and the opposition will be trusted. ”

The person surnamed Zeng immediately said categorically: "Let's go, immediately agree on this matter, and come up with a strategy." ”

The person surnamed Zeng, with a gloomy gaze, continued: "The wind and clouds will meet, it's time...... It's time to use those people. ”

The person who came couldn't help but raise his thick eyebrows suddenly, and said tremblingly: "Zeng Gong means ......"

The person surnamed Zeng pursed his lips and smiled: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while!" ”

He said it in no uncertain terms.

The visitor shuddered.

…………

East Palace.

Zhu Gaochi reviewed the recital, and it was late at night.

The emperor's private visits, he has long been accustomed to.

He knew very well that his father was an idle man, not like the Son of Heaven, but more like a general.

But recently, he has started all kinds of business, and now he is more like a big businessman.

All in all, in Zhu Gaochi's mind, his father does not look like an emperor at all.

At least in Zhu Gaochi's opinion, the emperor can't be idle.

After reviewing the notes, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but shake his head and said: "An Shi, this guy, is also with his father and emperor all day long, this guy ...... It's also an active person......"

At this time, a eunuch came in small steps and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Prince, someone has come to see you." ”

Zhu Di couldn't help frowning and said, "In the middle of the night, who is it?" ”
