After sending off the cabinet chief assistant Wen dialect and his party, Emperor Tianyou returned to the upper study, not only did he not feel tired after a night's hard work, but on the contrary, his spirit was much better than before, so that Emperor Tianyou decided that his previous illness was due to witchcraft.

Emperor Tianyou sat behind the imperial eucalyptus, repeatedly flipped through a fold in front of him, this is the Jinyi Guard's command Ma Shun sent yesterday about the Liang Palace's secret fold, which describes in detail the Liang King Zhu Wucheng's every move in the past few days, especially mentioning his changes in the past two days, like himself, his mental outlook has changed a lot.

Closing the fold, I couldn't help but think of Zhu Wuxiang, the king of Shu, aside from the factors of civil officials, Emperor Tianyou admired this son very much, but it was only appreciation, and there was still a deep fear in his heart, yes, jealousy!

If it weren't for the conclusive evidence of Nanzhen Fusi, he didn't believe that this gentle son would do such a thing, he actually sent someone to assassinate his own brother, he could be ruthless to assassinate his younger brother, wouldn't he have taken action against himself, the emperor?

There is no father and son in front of the imperial power!

This is also the reason why he attaches so much importance to Jia Jue, Jia Jue gave him the opportunity to choose.

In fact, yesterday before Jia Jue entered the palace, Emperor Tianyou received a secret report, and he was also suspicious of Jia Jue's abnormal behavior at that time, but Emperor Tianyou finally chose to believe Jia Jue, and even rewarded him with the property found out from the Xue family's pawnshop.

The secret agent lurking in the Tatar in Dongchang sent an urgent report the day before yesterday, Zhu Houze actually took advantage of the snowstorm to attack the 30,000 households of the Tatar left wing on the bank of the Aruhun River, plundered a large number of people and animals, the most important thing is that Zhu Houze got a group of craftsmen, which will greatly improve the ability of the Warat people to build weapons, Emperor Tianyou has ordered Jizhou to Xuanfu to strictly investigate the smuggling of iron weapons, once it is found, the goods are seized, and the caravan leader is beheaded on the spot.

As long as Wang Bin sends news, Emperor Tianyou will issue an order to completely block the Great Wall Pass, not allowing anyone or any caravan to leave the pass, he wants to completely trap the steppe people, of course, when the time is right, he can consider helping the Tatars, after all, Zhu Houze is more harmful.

Thinking of this, Emperor Tianyou got up and strode back and forth, through the matter of witches, he forced Da Zongzheng to death, replaced by Zhu Xunkun, the king of Huainan, and took back the right to speak in the clan, when Emperor Shengzu was in order to win the support of several other vassal kings, he had to hand over the Zongren Mansion to the hands of Taizong, originally he planned to take the opportunity to deal with the Zhongshun Palace, but he received Zhu Houjiong's recital, saying that he could help him split the civil official group and create trouble within them, Zhu Houjiong's statement made Emperor Tianyou hesitate for a while.

The rise of Zhu Houze has made him murderous to the Taizong lineage, but he can't kill a clan prince for no reason, or the clan prince of the sensitive Taizong lineage, which will make other clan princes fearful, especially those feudal kings, you must know that there is a tiger eyeing Zhu Houze outside the gate, and he can't lose people's hearts at this time.

The wind and rain set off by Song Qianyi made Emperor Tianyou realize that this matter was not so simple, but he failed to use this matter to hit the civil official group, as for the word 'Zhou' that the woman said before she died, she couldn't count it, but fortunately, Jia Jue destroyed Zhu Houze's intelligence network buried in Shenjing by mistake, and even found the account book, otherwise once Zhu Houze led his troops south to detain the pass in the future, Yulin, which had been infiltrated into a sieve, would be broken in an instant, no, the city gate would be opened to welcome Zhu Houze's army into the customs without attacking.

With the rise of the Xungui military, Emperor Tianyou decided to purge the civil official group that was not bad, controlled the government, and threatened the imperial power, not only that, but he also had to purge the Jiangnan gentry group, for which he drew up a list after careful consideration, a total of thirteen people, Zhang Fu, Wu Shichang, Zhou Yang, Bai Jingxuan, Han Xudong......

"Green Sword Fairy"

Among them, Bai Jingxuan is the governor of Henan, Han Xudong is the governor of Shandong, especially Bai Jingxuan, he stayed in Henan for fifteen years, successively served as the inspector, the political envoy, and finally the governor of Henan, according to the system, the post of governor can only serve for three years, but with the cooperation of Zhang Fu and others, Bai Jingxuan stayed for five years, and it was the sixth year after the New Year.

In order not to startle the snake, Emperor Tianyou plans to replace the guards of Tongguan first, and then increase the number of defenders of Tongguan in the name of armament, so that the Henan patrol battalion can be suppressed, so that they dare not make any changes.

Even if it causes local turmoil, it will not hesitate to even destroy Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Zhu Houze's rise and his recent performances made Zhu Qinde, the Emperor of Heavenly Blessing, feel a threat, a threat to his throne.

Emperor Tianyou took out the list from his sleeve and looked at it carefully, he pondered for a long time, and finally turned around and came to the imperial eucalyptus pen to add the name of Zhu Wuxiang, the king of Shu, to the list, but added a line of small words after the name: degraded to a concubine, encircled and banned the Fengyang Emperor's Mausoleum.

Half an hour later, a group of forbidden cavalry galloped out of Dong'anmen on horseback, galloping straight towards Chaoyang Street in Dongcheng, and soon arrived at the front of the house of Yang Zongwei, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and shouted for the head of the forbidden army officer: "On the order of Your Majesty, please take a trip to Yang Shilang." ”

The little guy in the Yang Mansion was so frightened that he hurriedly opened the door, and dozens of forbidden soldiers rushed into the Yang Mansion together and rushed towards the inner house.

At dusk, in the study of Chen Ruiwen, the Duke of Qi Guo, Chen Ruiwen stood in front of the book, slowly turned around, and looked at Jia Jue.

Jia Jue sat quietly on a chair under the window, there was neither tea nor snacks on the coffee table next to him, and there was silence in the study.

"You're so reckless!"

Chen Ruiwen sighed and said, "I mean the matter of witch Gu, at least you should ask Jia Jing's opinion." ”

“....”

Jia Jue was stunned.

"Your Majesty... Hey, how to say it, he is an extremely conceited and ruthless person, don't look at his kind eyes on weekdays, it just so happens that you have smashed the intelligence network of the Warat people in Beijing, and dug out the traitors lurking in the court, today's matter is just the beginning, it is estimated that except for the King of Shu, none of the Shu King Party will have a good result. ”

Jia Jue pondered for a moment and asked, "Aren't you afraid of the civil officials backlash?" ”

Chen Ruiwen turned around and poured a bowl of tea for Jia Jue, and then said: "Your Majesty has already laid a secret hand, but it has been suffering from the lack of substantial evidence, plus the Shu Wang Party is dominant, and Your Majesty is a rat bogey." Now with the help of Wu Gu, he first forced Da Zongzheng to death, got rid of the backer of the King of Shu in the clan, and Chen Hai, a scholar, was also forced to become a scholar, so that half of the power of the King of Shu was defeated, and His Majesty would definitely deal with the King of Shu Party before making a move against the Jiangnan gentry group. ”

Speaking of this, he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, "The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Jiangnan camp will go to Suzhou and Hangzhou and other places after the New Year." ”

Jia Jue nodded, "Then you say, how serious will this turmoil be?" ”

"It's very tragic!"

Chen Ruiwen sighed and said: "It is very likely that there will be an overlord in the grassland, or the blood of the Zhu Ming royal family, which has threatened the current throne, in order to concentrate on dealing with that person, today will definitely deal with all the unstable factors quickly and seriously, those account books you sent to the palace gave him the best excuse, except for him, no one knows which people are collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, so what he said is Chrysostom and Yuyan, which is the truth." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Ruiwen looked at Jia Jue deeply, and his face showed infinite emotion, "Before you entered the door, Xuan'er came with the news that Yang Zongwei, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, had committed suicide in the prison of the forbidden army. ”

"What's going on?"

Jia Jue was shocked that Yang Zongwei was dead.

"Half an hour ago, the forbidden army brought Yang Zongwei from the palace into the palace, and then he was put in prison by the forbidden army, and I heard that he accepted bribes. Scold.... Yang Zongwei was honest all his life, how could he take bribes, to put it bluntly, the emperor began to clean up the Shu Wang Party, and he was unwilling to admit his guilt, so he was put in prison and finally hanged himself. ”

Jia Jue secretly said, at this moment, the housekeeper's voice came from outside the door, "Master, something happened." ”

Chen Ruiwen's face changed, he walked to the door and opened the door, and the old housekeeper said: "Pingliang Hou Mansion and Xuanning Bo Mansion have been surrounded by the forbidden army, and they are accused of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and they have begun to raid their homes. In addition, Chen Yiming, the left of the Imperial Palace, was killed with a cane and the noon gate, and the family scroll has been sent to prison. ”

Speaking of this, he swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "The Shu Wangfu has been surrounded by the forbidden army. ”
