As soon as Zhou Juren said this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly dropped to the freezing point.

In fact, Zhou Juren is not unaware that these words cannot be said.

Threatening the Imperial Court?

How many pounds and taels are you!

But for Zhou Juren, he is also desperate, because ...... Horizontal and vertical is a death, rather than die without a place to be buried, it is better to fight.

It's just that when this sentence was spoken, Zhou Juren actually knew that he had no way back.

Some of the gentry behind him, kneeling on the ground at this time, were also trembling, as if they realized that these words were serious.

But at the same time, I can't help but breed some hope in my heart.

They held their breath and waited for His Majesty's reaction.

Zhu Di did not respond immediately.

He got up and paced a few steps before he said, "The hearts of the people have been lost, and chaos is coming......

He groaned, and suddenly said, "Qiu Qing's family ......"

Among the hundreds of officials, some people paced out.

Today's Qiu Fu is already a little old, but when he stepped out of class at this time, he was extraordinarily energetic, although his physical strength was not good, but he said eloquently: "The minister is here." ”

Zhu Di said: "How many people are in the capital camp under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies? ”

Qiu Fu said: "Back to Your Majesty, the five military camps under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies have a total of 72 guards and a total of 350,000 soldiers. The 3,000 battalions were under the jurisdiction of 14,000 cavalrymen. The middle army, left and right sentry, left and right sentry posts, etc., totaled 39,000 people. ”

Zhu Di bowed.

Then he turned to ask Yishiha: "How many guards and horses have?" ”

Yi Yu Ha hurriedly said: "The pro-army has jurisdiction over the pro-army guards, and the 12 guards and pro-armies have a total of 130,000 people. There were also four guards under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Prison, totaling 70,000. ”

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "How many are there in the model camp?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, the model camp has the smallest number of people, only 18,000 people. ”

Zhu Di said: "Less is less." ”

As he spoke, he slowly paced in front of Zhou Juren, and said lightly: "Do I have many soldiers and horses? ”

Zhou Juren couldn't answer for a while, but he felt that the pressure was crushing towards him like a mountain, and he was drenched in cold sweat.

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Zhou Juren fixedly, and said, "I have been raising soldiers for a thousand days, and I spend countless amounts of money and food, horse materials, ordnance, and gunpowder every day, isn't this the moment?" If you want to rebel, then it's better to do the opposite, just give me a try of the knife, I have killed people for a lifetime, you might as well add some more. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Di's eyes flashed, like a sharp blade ready to strike. The voice was strangely steady, and he said: "As for you, deceiving the king and hoarding goods in the year of the catastrophe is a crime of ten thousand deaths." Come...... Take everyone down, don't let anyone go, and tomorrow at noon, go to the outskirts of the city to be executed and beheaded! ”

There are two or three thousand people inside and out.

Originally, Zhou Juren dared to say such stupid words, but in fact, he relied on his own strength and strength, thinking that it was not good, and the emperor should also pay attention to the impact.

Hearing the word beheading, he was shocked and almost fainted.

Suddenly, I felt that my eyes were dark.

Suddenly, the guards rushed up and held them down unceremoniously.

This week, more than a dozen people were shocked, and one by one shouted in horror: "Spare your life, spare your life!" ”

It's a pity that no one paid attention to it, and these embarrassed people were soon escorted and dragged out by a group of tigers and wolves.

But at this time, Zhu Di said: "Wait." ”

When Zhou Juren heard this, he lifted it in one breath, and there seemed to be a glimmer of hope in his heart.

He thought to himself that maybe it was just the emperor who scared him, and at this time the emperor came to his senses, or he could take it lightly, so he cried out: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"

Zhu Di frowned, but said slowly: "You have done evil and oppressed the people, and over the years, you have made a lot of profits, but I am afraid that your relatives will enjoy a lot." Tomorrow, kill you first, and then the factory guard will naturally go to take your family. But you had better hope that your wives and children, old and young, will be killed, and if you do not accept it, and dare to rebel as you say, then I will be punished with a thousand knives. ”

When Zhou Juren heard this, his heart was completely cold. Thinking that his life is gone, and now ...... It even affected the whole family, and suddenly felt chills in my heart, and I couldn't tell the sadness.

He wanted to say something, but the guard behind him covered his mouth and dragged him out again.

Outside the noon gate.

Two or three thousand people knelt down here, one by one, as if they were mourning, or let out a mournful cry.

But at this moment, suddenly a group of men and horses rushed in, some were factory guards and Ti Qi wearing fish suits, and some were guards under the command of the imperial horse supervisor wearing armor stomachs.

At that moment, someone shouted, "Who are you, do you know who we are?" ”

"Don't be presumptuous!"

"This is the henchmen of the eunuch and the Zhang thief."

Some people even shouted: "I am a scholar, I have fame!" ”

In the midst of the noise, the voices of many people converged, and the confusion became more and more chaotic.

The eunuchs and generals who were in charge of dispatching here sweated a handful, and they all felt that once these thousands of people really went crazy, they would make a big move, after all, this is the imperial city, and it is difficult to explain if they are not careful.

But soon, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Because although there is a lot of scolding here, once the wolf-like captain rushes in to take people, there is no resistance in the slightest, but even though they are held down, these people are still chattering, or scolding, or dragging some words.

Anyway, I didn't understand it very well, and soon, I took down all the people, and no one was missed.

There was no blood spilled.

Zhu Di returned to Wenlou.

Soon, a eunuch reported what had happened at the noon gate.

Zhu Di only bowed his head and said, "Got it." ”

Your Majesty's mood today can be described as happy and angry, and he is also by his side, carefully serving.

Fortunately, Zhang Anshi also came with the car, which made Yishuha feel more relaxed.

Zhu Di pondered for a moment and said: "The order is given to the personnel of the four provinces, let them be just in case, they must not be careless, and they must deal with the civil unrest at any time." ”

Zhang Anshi said calmly: "Your Majesty, the minister has already instructed you. ”

Zhu Di nodded, but remembered something, so he said: "In addition, when can this railway be built?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Now the roadbed has basically been formed, and now only sleepers and rails are laid, as long as the silver is enough, the major workshops will increase horsepower production, and time is not a problem." ”

To Zhang Anshi's surprise, Zhu Di actually said very generously: "Then don't cherish the silver, didn't you say that you earned a lot of silver this time?" I want to get the railway through the pass, the sooner the better. ”

Zhang Anshi was in a good mood and said busily: "Yes, the minister obeys the order." ”

Zhu Di's face softened a lot, but he said in a surprising voice: "Zhang Qing is really a countryman, hey...... If you are my son, I will teach you to conquer the great unification. ”

Zhang Anshi's heart jumped, his face changed, and he hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Zhu Di smiled and said: "At the beginning, Cao Cao, when he saw that Sun Quan, sent out the emotion that he should have a son like Sun Zhongmou, but I was just impromptu with emotion. ”

Zhang Anshi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard Zhu Di's words, he also came to his senses: "Then Sun Zhongmou is a bird, no, Your Majesty, the minister should not lose his honor in front of His Majesty, the minister just thinks that this Sun Quan is not a martial artist, but he is just an army of guards, and Cao Cao's sons ......"

Zhu Di waved his hand and interrupted him: "I am using a dictionary, you don't want to follow those pedants, always raise the bar." ”

Zhang Anshi opened his mouth, but he had no choice but to swallow back the words that had not yet been spoken, and said obediently: "Yes."

Zhu Di groaned and thought for a while: "Henan and Guanzhong are two places...... Now that it has reached such a point, it is time to implement a new policy. ”

As he spoke, he lowered his head and paced.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to implement the new policy is obviously the best result for Zhu Di.

But the question is how to implement it, how to structure it, and who should be appointed to preside over it.

Zhang Anshi was silent.

This kind of matter is very sensitive, as far as Zhang Anshi is concerned, he can't wait to immediately implement the new policy all over the world, and he can't get used to the Zhou Ju people in these places for a long time.

But Zhang Anshi also understands that the biggest problem in the new policies of various provinces is who will preside over and who will implement them.

The former hundred officials were obviously inappropriate, so the only person with this prestige but this experience was Zhang Anshi.

This undoubtedly greatly increased Zhang Anshi's authority.

But Zhang Anshi has already ruled Zhili, if he adds a few more provinces, it will be more ugly, even if His Majesty is willing, I am afraid that Zhang Anshi is also worried that someone will use this to attack him.

So Zhang Anshi simply pretended to be deaf and dumb.

At this moment, a eunuch suddenly came and said in a panic: "Your Majesty......"

Zhu Di looked up, but saw that it was just a eunuch from the General Administration Department, so he only said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, Henan and Guanzhong are in a hurry to play...... the eunuch said: "After the military department is still playing, I prayed for an audience and said that it was ...... Say yes...... Henan and Guanzhong...... Overnight, a large number of civil uprisings broke out, and a large number of thugs appeared in various prefectures and counties, attacking officials and soldiers...... These thieves...... Suddenly, the momentum was not small, and the military department was suspicious...... I'm afraid that the scale is not in the number of 100,000. ”

100,000 is actually just a drop in the ocean for Guanzhong and Henan, which have large populations.

But such a scale is still not to be underestimated for the Yongle Dynasty.

Even this scale is still the amount after Zhang Anshi has received a large amount of relief.

Zhu Di listened to it and sneered: "I didn't expect it, it's really here...... The soldiers will block, the water will come to cover the earth, Jin Zhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Education, does not have to come to see me, just a thief, teach him to transfer military horses with the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and immediately go to Henan and Guanzhong to quell the rebellion, where there are traitors, there will be no forgiveness! ”

Speaking of rebellion, no, speaking of Jingnan, Zhu Di is simply the ancestor of the rebels.

To put it mildly, that little trick, and dare to get an axe in front of the ancestor master, Zhu Di himself feels that these people are beyond their means.

When he had received the order, the eunuch hurried to go again.

But who knows, after a while, this eunuch went and returned.

The eunuch said, "Your Majesty, Jin Gong said...... Say...... This matter must be made clear to Your Majesty, please Your Majesty must not forget that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun, one is in Henan, and the other is in Guanzhong......"

Zhu Di's face changed slightly.

Zhang Anshi also immediately noticed the change in Zhu Di's expression, and just wanted to say something.

But when he saw Zhu Di, he sat on the throne slowly, and said lightly: "Isn't it good that they are here?" Traitors are rampant, the local army and civilians must be afraid, my children and grandchildren are here, enough to reassure the army and the people, to tell Jin Qing that these things do not need him to think about, the duty of the military department is to allocate people and horses to participate in counterinsurgency matters. ”

The eunuch bowed his head, and then withdrew.

Yishaha was on the side, already worried, and hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty...... This...... This ......"

Zhu Di sat upright, his hands on his knees, but his arms trembled slightly, but soon, he grabbed his knees with both hands, and the person was frozen.

He said: "When I was more than ten years old, I followed the king of Zhongshan to stay in Beiping, train soldiers, promote tuntian, repair city defenses, and consolidate border defenses. If it is longer, it will attack the desert. It's not a big deal. ”

Yishaha listened to Zhu Di's words, but knew in his heart that there was no one in the world who cared more about the safety of the crown prince and the imperial grandson than His Majesty.

After all, this is the crown prince, if it is in the Hongwu Dynasty, this is Zhu Biao, the crown prince of the Hongwu Emperor.

What is related is the issue of the continuation of the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention, this father-son and grandfather-grandson relationship.

It's just that Zhu Di said this, but he had no choice but to laugh dryly, and said calmly: "What Your Majesty said is that the crown prince and the imperial grandson are the sons and grandsons of the dragon, and they are the blood of Your Majesty, and they will be as bloody as Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Anshi frowned for a long time, and said busily: "Your Majesty...... Minister...... Minister......"

Zhu Di sighed and said: "The emperor's grandson has grown up a lot over the years, and in the past few years, he has been taught by Zhang Qing by words and deeds, hoping that he can make progress and not insult the prestige of Tianhuang's noble stomach." ”

Zhang Anshi opened his mouth, and finally had to nod.

Zhu Di said: "Okay, you step down, go and see your sister, if your sister hears about this, what about the woman's house...... It's always inevitable to panic. ”

Zhang Anshi had no choice but to say, "Yes, minister...... Retirement. ”

By the time Zhang Anshi retired, it was already a little late.

For dinner in the palace, Zhu Di only barely ate a few bites, and until late at night, he lost several urgings, but Zhu Di seemed to be preoccupied and refused to sleep.

Until Yizha said again: "The queen mother is in the big house, and I am afraid it will be difficult to sleep." ”

After hearing this, Zhu Di got up and returned to Da Nei.

The queen's harem was really brightly lit, and Queen Xu did not enter the dormitory to rest, but only taught people to light a lot of lanterns in the courtyard.

The eunuchs and the female officials stood one by one, not moving.

But there was an immature voice, saying: "Qin Shimingyue Han Shiguan, the Long March has not been returned, but the dragon city will fly in the ......"

In the distance, the voice of the eunuch was heard: "I have seen Your Majesty." ”

So this immature voice came to an abrupt end.

Zhu Di walked with his hands behind his back and with a big belly.

Looking sideways, the child standing here reciting poems was Zhang Changsheng.

As soon as Zhang Changsheng saw Zhu Di, he was immediately frightened and did not dare to come out.

Empress Xu stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, look at you, you always look like no one is close, which scares the child." ”

Zhu Di smiled reluctantly and said: "He is a bird child, he is eight or nine years old, this child is like his father, he is a rat, and he is afraid of everything." ”

Empress Xu only smiled.

Between husband and wife, they have each other's hearts, and Queen Xu also knows about the prince and the emperor's grandson, although she is very worried in her heart, but in front of Zhu Di, she will never show it.

And Zhu Di naturally knew her thoughts, but he tacitly never mentioned it.

Only Zhang Changsheng drooped his head, lowered his eyes slightly, and said nothing.

Zhu Di was looking at Zhang Changsheng at this time, beckoned to him and said, "Come, come to me." ”

Zhang Changsheng's legs seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and it took a lot of time to get in front of Zhu Di.

Zhu Di pinched his face, probably because he felt good, his face eased a lot, and then he smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Zhu Di said gently: "How many poems can you memorize?" ”

Zhang Changsheng said in a regular manner: "You can memorize it." ”

Zhu Di said: "Growing up so fast? ”

Empress Xu smiled and said, "This is a smart child. ”

Zhang Changsheng's mother is the Xu family, and Queen Xu is the aunt of the Xu family, so she is also a blood relative.

Zhu Di said suddenly: "I heard that you are very naughty outside the palace. ”

Zhang Changsheng actually said very honestly: "Yes." ”

Zhu Di still put on an easy-going appearance and said, "Why did you enter the palace and be studious?" ”

Zhang Changsheng said: "When I entered the inner hall, my father said that if I was disobedient, His Majesty would beat me to death, and I was a little afraid of death......"

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but say: "Zhang Qing is joking with you, I am your aunt, how can I kill you?" ”

Zhang Changsheng bowed his head and was silent.

Zhu Di smiled, touched his head, and said, "What a well-behaved child, why, don't speak again, am I so terrible?" ”

Zhang Changsheng glanced up at Zhu Di slightly, and then said, "I don't dare to say." ”

Zhu Di said: "Let's talk, let's talk about it......"

Empress Xu looked at the timid look on Zhang Changsheng's face from the side, and hurriedly said, "Okay, Changsheng is going to rest." ”

Zhu Di suddenly felt something different, but said, "I'm not busy, you said to listen...... I'm not surprised. ”

Zhang Changsheng hesitated for a moment, and finally said as if he had made a lot of determination: "My father said that the most terrible person in the world dares to eat dung, auntie...... Your Majesty, have you really eaten it? Is it delicious? ”

Zhu Di: "......"

Empress Xu pulled Zhang Changsheng and glanced at the eunuchs, and some eunuchs hugged Zhang Changsheng and left.

Empress Xu stroked Zhu Di's back and said: "Your Majesty, the child is unscrupulous, the child doesn't understand anything, this stupid child ......"

Zhu Di's green tendons on his forehead were exposed, he grinded his teeth, and only after a long time did he say: "Enter his mother!" ”

Empress Xu smiled dryly: "Your Majesty, it's not early, let's go to bed early, Your Majesty is old, it's not the time when you were young and strong, you must pay attention to your dragon body." ”

Zhu Di said: "Go back and let that kid from Changsheng come to me, I must teach him by word and deed, don't always learn from some people, teach him some crooked ways." ”

Queen Xu said: "Yes, yes, that kid is indeed too little knowledge, so he is like this." ”

Zhu Di's face twitched, and his mouth opened slightly, wanting to say something more, but he didn't know where to start.
