"Will Cui Wensheng be sent to Nanjing, and Li Kezhuo will be sent to the army?"

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhen, who had come to have lunch now, heard the words of the good imperial brother, and his first reaction was that it was too light.

"Yes......" Seeing Zhu Youzhen's appearance, Zhu Youxiao nodded and said:

"The imperial history Wang Anshun was the first to go to the sparse, and the imperial history Zheng Zongzhou, Guo Ruchu, Feng Sanyuan, Jiao Yuanpu, Wei Yingjia, Hui Shiyang, Taichangqing Cao Juan, Guanglu Shaoqing Gao Panlong, and the director Lu Weiqi and others successively asked Cui and Li to be investigated."

"The Criminal Department designated the eucalyptus as red pill eucalyptus, discussed it for a month, and handed in such a note, I also think it seems that it is okay to do so."

Zhu Youxiao is still a little kind-hearted, you must know that Cui Wensheng in Red Pill is Zheng Guifei's chamberlain.

In the eucalyptus of red pills, there are many traces of Zheng Guifei's shot.

In such a way, the eucalyptus who killed the emperor of the dynasty, Cui Wensheng, as the mastermind, actually ended up in Nanjing?

Zhu Youzhen suddenly had a toothache, that Cui Wensheng has been by Concubine Zheng's side for so many years, and it is estimated that he has made a lot of money.

Send this guy to Nanjing, are you sure you want to send him to enjoy happiness?

Thinking about it this way, Zhu Youzhen tentatively asked the good imperial brother:

"Brother Huang, have you forgotten how Concubine Zheng Guifei bullied you and the emperor for the exam?"

"I haven't forgotten it, but she is the emperor's grandfather's favorite concubine after all." Zhu Youxiao sighed, but he still couldn't do anything to Concubine Zheng.

And judging from the court situation, the courtiers will not let him attack Concubine Zheng and Concubine Li Kang.

"Concubine Zheng naturally wants to keep it, but Cui Wensheng can't!" Zhu Youzhen frowned at this moment, making Zhu Youxiao a little puzzled:

"Why?"

"If you don't punish this guy, it is inevitable that he will stir up trouble in Jiangnan." Zhu Youzhen understands how moisturized Cui Wensheng is in Jiangnan in history.

As soon as Wei Zhongxian took the throne, he sent Cui Wensheng an errand for the governor Caoyun, and the result was that this guy was fishing in Caoyun.

If you don't kill this guy, maybe your people will be exploited by this guy after they go to Jiangnan.

Thinking so, Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youxiao hesitated and said:

"I just killed him, I'm afraid Concubine Zheng doesn't like it."

"Brother, you are now the emperor, what are you afraid of her doing as an old woman?" Zhu Youzhen never forgot to remind the identity of the good imperial brother.

In his opinion, it is a good thing that the good imperial brother has a good attitude towards the relatives around him, but it is okay for enemies like Concubine Li Kang and Concubine Zheng Guifei, which is somewhat weak.

It was precisely because of his connivance that King Fu wantonly encroached on people's land in Luoyang, causing Luoyang's land to plummet by half in just ten years.

Even from this point of view, Zhu Youzhen thinks that he should suppress Cui Wensheng, either to win him over as his own person, or to exterminate his family, so as to deter Zheng Guifei and King Fu.

But this was his idea after all, and Zhu Youxiao still hesitated:

"If you do this, I'm afraid the Third Emperor Uncle will not like it."

"Brother, don't worry, Uncle Sanhuang doesn't have that guts!" Zhu Youzhen scoffed.

Zhu Changxun himself is a mediocre talent who has been spoiled too much by Concubine Zheng Guifei, even if he doesn't like it, what can he do?

Rebellion? Don't be funny.

At present, Qin Liangyu has entered Jingzhou Mansion, and Sun Chuanting is still in Nanyang Mansion.

In such a situation, Zhu Youzhen wished that Zhu Changxun would rebel.

If he dared to rebel, Zhu Youzhen dared to pacify him and depose King Fu as a concubine.

Maybe you can make a million taels of silver to feed the army.

If the rebellion of the vassal king is put down, even if it is killed, no other vassal king will have an opinion.

The Ming Dynasty was tolerant of the clan, but there was a limit to tolerance.

As long as you dare to rebel in three suits, the main culprit is a dead word.

The representative figures are King Ning and King Anhua.

The rebellion within the three suits is basically abolished as a commoner and imprisoned within the high walls of Fengyang.

The representative figure is Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, as long as Zhu Changxun dares to rebel and is subsequently pacified, it will only waste hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for the Ming Dynasty, but it will be a return of millions of taels.

Not to mention that if Zhu Changxun rebelled for a eunuch, then everyone in the world would spit on him, and no one would pity him.

So in the face of Zhu Youxiao's hesitation, Zhu Youzhen rarely showed a decisive side and said:

"My brother handed over Cui Wensheng to Lu Wenzhao, so I begged you."

"Alas......" Listening to Zhu Youzhen's words, Zhu Youxiao only thought that the other party was angry to help him.

can think about it, he does hate Concubine Zheng and Concubine Li Kang to the core, but because of moral requirements, he can't retaliate against them.

Killing a eunuch doesn't seem to matter......

"In that case, give Cui Wensheng to Lu Wenzhao."

"Brother Xie Huang!" Hearing that Cui Wen had risen to his hand, Zhu Youzhen was happy in his heart.

This old eunuch has worked under Zheng Guifei for more than 20 years, and it is a lie to say that there is no silver.

Give it to Lu Wenzhao, maybe you can hammer out a military budget.

Anyway, it was the eunuch who died, and there would be no civil official to stand up for him.

Thinking about it like this, Zhu Youzhen had a good meal with Zhu Youxiao with excitement, and then returned to the palace after Zhu Youxiao's lunch break.

"Call Lu Wenzhao!"

As soon as he entered the Qinqin Palace, Zhu Youzhen greeted Wang Chengen, and when Wang Chengen saw this, he called Jinyiwei to summon Lu Wenzhao.

When they were summoned, Lu Wenzhao had just sent Lu Jianxing and them out of the capital, and he didn't know what was going on.

After entering the palace in a daze, Zhu Youzhen first asked:

"Lu Jianxing, how are they? Did you go south? ”

"Back to His Highness, Lu Jianxing and the others have already gone south, and the lowly has sent people to follow them to protect them as they go south."

The protection in Lu Wenzhao's mouth is actually just surveillance, and Zhu Youzhen can understand it, but in his opinion, Lu Jianxing is very ambitious and a proper official fan.

He is more obsessed with power than silver, so he will definitely not run away with silver.

So he didn't care about this, but said to Lu Wenzhao:

"Cui Wensheng, who is detained by the Criminal Department, I asked the imperial brother to come."

"You bring someone to bring him out, and interrogate him properly, this old fellow has hidden a lot of silver."

"When I was young, he often brought people to the East Palace to show off his might, and this fell into my hands, you can take someone to rectify him."

"As long as he spits out the silver, he can give him a way to survive and let him go back to his hometown."

"Yes! Humble duty understood! Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, Lu Wenzhao was also interested.

Since he took charge of the Nanzhen Fu Division, he has not used torture on people again.

This time, Zhu Youzhen nodded, and the other party was still a eunuch who had offended the son of today and the only prince, which meant that he could take a good step to rectify it.

"Let's see if we can win over, if you can't, don't kill people too quickly, you can't get over your face......"

Zhu Youzhen looked at Lu Wenzhao's appearance and knew that he was interested, so he mentioned it.

"Your Highness rest assured, you know how to do it, and you won't make it difficult for Your Highness." When Lu Wenzhao heard this, he led people to retreat after saluting.

Zhu You looked at his back, and there was also a sense of revenge in his heart.

Although Zhu Youzhen's experience was not something he had experienced, that memory appeared in his mind from time to time, so it was rare to show his fierce side.

I just don't know, in Lu Wenzhao's hands, how long Cui Wensheng can last.

Thinking so, Zhu Youzhen showed a playful expression on his face......

——————

"Flowing ......"

The icy water poured over his head, and the biting chill of the cold winter water woke Cui Wensheng from his coma.

The swollen slit of the eye、He saw the two lumps of light in the mold lake, which were the candlesticks of the prison。

A day ago, Cui Wensheng was taken out of the prison of the Criminal Department, and then he was put on a black cloth bag hood and imprisoned here by the Jinyi guard.

He originally thought that the place he was being held in was an edict, but when he opened his eyes, he realized that it was not.

But even so, in his eyes at the moment, this is a place that is even more terrifying than the Beizhen Fusi Prison.

Behind the candle flame, a man dressed in crimson trolling had a calm face, and said in a cold voice:

"Rack him up!"

"What are you going to do...... I'm Zheng Niangniang's person! What do you want to do......"

Syllable!

"Shut up!"

Under the frightened gaze, a brocade guard gave Cui Wensheng a whip.

When the whip hit his body, it was painful at first, and then the thick salt water stained on the whip began to irritate Choi Moon-seung's wounds.

What kind of pain is that? It was as if there was a flame attached to the wound, and the flame turned into countless jagged spikes with edges, tearing through Cui Wensheng's skin, and there were still shredded flesh hanging on the spikes, which drilled into Cui Wensheng's body fiercely.

The skin around the wound twitched like water waves, and Cui Wensheng lowered his head and watched his flesh being frantically whipped through his torn coat.

The severe pain interfered with Cui Wensheng's nerves, and the muscles in his whole body twitched and looked very weird.

Cui Wensheng couldn't feel its pain at this moment, but it drove Cui Wensheng's shoulders and abdominal muscles to twitch together, like a crazy parasite drilled into the flesh.

But soon, the burning caused by the severe pain turned into a warm current, and Cui Wensheng actually felt a warm feeling.

"Look up!"

Suddenly, the whipping stopped, and Cui Wensheng also raised his head with difficulty and looked at the man sitting behind the candle flame.

The man sat on a chair in the prison and drank a little wine with braised vegetables, and did not seem to be in a hurry.

Cui Wensheng stared at him, and he didn't care.

When the plate of braised vegetables was finished, the man got up and said:

"That's it for today, and it's going to continue tomorrow."

After speaking, the man walked out of the dark room with the brocade guard, blew out the candle flame, and the whole room could not see five fingers, no light could be seen.

Cui Wensheng began to be frightened, scared, and even shouted like crazy towards the door:

"What the hell do you want?! Tell me! Silver? I have a lot of them! I can give it to you! Let me out! ”

"Let me out......"

Howls of pain rang out of the room, spreading through the dark corridors, but no one responded.

At this moment, Cui Wensheng was desperate, such a dark feeling, as if he was the only one in the world.

In such a space, time seems to have become a useless existence.

Cui Wensheng didn't know how long it had been, but he felt that his throat had dried up, and it hurt like fire.

The flesh and skin of his body were unconscious, and only when he moved his body, he felt pain, reminding him that he was injured.

"Squeak......

Suddenly, the wooden door where he was imprisoned opened, and Cui Wensheng, who saw the light and the living person again, wanted to move excitedly, but was restrained by a rope.

The consequence of the indiscriminate movement was a burning and severe pain, and his psychological defense had been broken, and he said madly:

"Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you, just let me out!"

"Don't worry...... the man from yesterday reappeared, he looked at Cui Wensheng with a sneer on his face, and then gestured to a brocade guard.

The brocade guard understood the meaning, and immediately splashed the water in his hand on Cui Wensheng.

"Ahh

！ ”

When the water splashed on Cui Wensheng's body, he let out a scream of pain that only hell could hear.

In his perception, the water poured on him was like a bucket of magma, burning pain.

This is not ordinary water, this is salt water......

Cui Wensheng had just noticed it, and the next second he felt that the light in front of him was extremely dazzling.

"Tell me, how much is your whole net worth, and where is the money......

Against the hot stinging sensation, Cui Wensheng barely opened his eyes.

When he looked in front of him, he saw that the menorah was lit all around, and the man in charge sat behind the menorah, leaning back in his chair with a flat expression, looking at him like an animal.

It's horrible......

Cui Wensheng, who had never experienced this, had been defeated, and when he heard the other party's inquiry, he immediately spoke:

"The sixth house on the left hand of the third lane behind the Longfu Temple of Renshoufang, there is a dark room under the floor in the study, in which all my silver, 160,000 taels of silver."

"What else?" The man continued to ask, and when Cui Wensheng saw this, he had to say in despair:

"And among all the vases in the third row of the bookshelf on the left side of the study, there are a total of thirteen vases, and if they are smashed, you can get all my mansions and land deeds."

"Tongzhou and Jiangnan have a total of 6,300 acres of dry land, 3,200 acres of paddy fields, and six houses."

"There is also a water pavilion behind Qinhuai Street in Nanjing, and there are 30,000 taels of silver under the floor tiles of the study in the water pavilion......"

"Gone?" The smile on the man's face became thicker, and he immediately got up and said:

"Let's talk about it, what Concubine Zheng Guifei instructed you to do, and what the correspondence between King Fu and Concubine Zheng has recorded."

......Hearing this question, Cui Wensheng didn't dare to speak again, and his actions also caused the man to be dissatisfied.

"Do it!" With a gloomy face, he commanded Jinyiwei to make a move, and Cui Wensheng was immediately frightened and screamed like a frightened bird.

"What are you going to do? This is not an edict, who ordered you to do this?! ”

"What are you going to do?! What are you doing! ”

Cui Wensheng was still roaring filial piety, but he saw two brocade guards walking up and stretched out their hands under his frightened expression.

He instinctively wanted to close his eyes, but Jin Yiwei stretched his eyelids open and firmly stabbed Cui Wensheng's eye sockets with a sharp iron hook, and the blood molded Cui Wensheng's child's hole

He was in pain, upset, and fear......

Just when he thought that the Jinyiwei was going to blow out the candles and leave, the Jinyiwei filled the prison with candles again, and then closed the wooden door and left the prison.

Cui Wensheng thought he was rescued, but with the movement of his eyes that could not be closed, he discovered for the first time that the light could actually go straight to the brain like a dagger.

The brain, which was originally dormant, was directly hit by light after being forcibly awakened, and Cui Wensheng felt a hand reach into his brain, stirring without hesitation, nausea and sharp pain came.

His consciousness began to mooze, torn between wakefulness and lethargy.

Suddenly, the light in front of him dimmed, and it was pitch black all around, and marks appeared in front of Cui Wensheng's eyes, and Tong Kong stopped shrinking frantically and slowly enlarged......

But before Tong Kong could relax, the bright light broke out again, and Cui Wensheng felt that the hand in his head grabbed a certain nerve of Cui Wensheng and jerked hard!

Vomit –

In the prison, the abdomen was hit hard, the empty stomach contracted wildly, and a mouthful of sour water spurted out of Cui Wensheng's mouth and nose, and refluxed into the trachea, bringing hot and sour stimulation, and he began to cough violently.

"The First Evolution"

But then, a wet cloth soaked in water covered Cui Wensheng's mouth and nose.

Cui Wensheng struggled and wanted to breathe, but at the same time, the trachea was still stimulated by stomach acid to urge Cui Wensheng to cough.

Cui Wensheng's breath was held in his trachea and esophagus, mixed with stomach acid, like a ball of angry gunpowder about to explode through his body.

After a period of struggle, Cui Wensheng's consciousness began to drift away, and everything became quiet.

But suddenly, Cui Wensheng felt his body shake, he was hung upside down, and the wet cloth on his mouth and nose was also taken away.

Stomach acid filled the nasal cavity, Cui Wensheng's cough made them splash his face, and the stomach acid stimulated Cui Wensheng's eyes, and the skin and flesh around the eyes were forcibly outlined by the iron hook at this time, so that the eyes could not be closed.

The candle flame lit again, and he felt as if he had adjusted a little.

But after a while, the candle flame dimmed, Cui Wensheng's eyes were also released, a black cloth covered his eyes, and his body was straightened, there was no pain, and he slowly fell asleep.

When Cui Wensheng was sleeping soundly, Cui Wensheng was woken up by severe pain and repeated the above process again.

Cui Wensheng didn't know if it was night or day, and the only thing Cui Wensheng could see when he opened his eyes was the strong candlelight

Finally, after being awakened and tormented and repeated for an unknown number of times, Cui Wensheng's consciousness began to dissipate, and countless memories came to his heart.

At this time, he felt that someone was saying this, and he also felt that his mouth was opening and making a sound.

But at present, he can no longer form a complete consciousness in his heart, and can only see the iron hook on his cheek being removed, opening and closing his chin like a toy, and spitting out words one by one.

When the other party stopped asking questions, his body finally got a moment of rest, and the man who got the information also walked out of the dark prison with Jinyiwei.

After passing through the dark and narrow corridor, the sun shone on them, and the man in the lead was Lu Wenzhao, the same acquaintance of Nanzhen Fusi.

He looked at the strong sunlight, covered his eyes with his hands, and said to his side:

"Take Cui Wensheng down to rest, and then put him back in the imperial city after he recovers from his injury."

"You don't have to kill him, keep him by Concubine Zheng Guifei's side, just treat him as eyes and ears, I'll go back and tell him Your Highness."

"You take someone to take back all Cui Wensheng's silver, acres of land, and mansion."

"Yes!" Hearing this, the Jinyi Wei Baihu next to him nodded, and Lu Wenzhao also led people out of here when he saw this.

They got into the carriage, and half an hour later came to the Donghua Gate of the palace, dismounted and walked into the palace, and shuttled through the outer court, and finally came to the back left gate, and saw the two brothers Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen who were riding horses and archery.

Seeing Lu Wenzhao's arrival, Zhu Youzhen said to Zhu Youxiao:

"Brother Huang, Lu Wenzhao is here, I think there should be something to come, I'll go over."

"Let's go together, I'm just a little tired, and by the way, I can deal with it." When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he glanced at Lu Wenzhao's direction, and then rode over with Zhu Youzhen.

"Minister Lu Wenzhao, see Long live, Your Highness."

Lu Wenzhao saluted, and Zhu Youxiao nodded:

"Flat."

"Thank you, thank you......" After Lu Wenzhao returned the salute, he got up and took out a document that had been written early from his arms and said:

"Your Highness, this is the dirty silver and fields that Cui Wensheng spit out, the mansion."

"Let's show the imperial brother first." Zhu Youzhen glanced at the document and said absently, and Lu Wenzhao handed it to Zhu Youxiao when he heard the words.

Zhu Youxiao looked puzzled, not knowing what his good brother was selling, so he took the document and opened it with doubts.

"......" There was no scolding or other words, Zhu Youxiao only frowned slightly, and then handed it to Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen took the paperwork and looked at it before saying:

"The silver in the capital was transported to the interior, the acres of the house were handed over to the Huangdian and the Huangzhuang, and the silver from the south of the Yangtze River was transported to Changping."

"Commanded by humility." Lu Wenzhao honestly accepted the order, and after he received the order, Zhu Youxiao spoke:

"There are a lot of places where you need to use silver over there, so you can keep the silver."

"Where's my brother?" Zhu Youzhen said with a smile:

"There is a lot of silver for the imperial horse superintendent, but there are not many places for silver for the inner money?"

"This 160,000 taels of silver, my brother can accept it with peace of mind, after all, I only took 300,000 taels of silver from my brother a few days ago."

"Huh...... You......" Zhu Youxiao didn't know what to say about Zhu Youzhen, but Zhu Youzhen was selling good to Zhu Youxiao, and asked Lu Wenzhao by the way:

"How's the number of people in Changping? Five days have passed, and there should be a lot of people, right? ”

In a blink of an eye, Zhu Youzhen stayed in the capital for five days, and the north had already made a fuss because of the high military salary notice of the imperial horse supervisor.

Many people in Beizhili and the capital area who attached to the conditions braved the winter snow with their families to prepare to join the army, and Zhu Youzhen also understood the situation before he dared to ask Lu Wenzhao.

Lu Wenzhao also returned the salute and said happily:

"At noon, the Imperial Horse Supervisor just returned with a message, and since yesterday, a large number of people have gone to Changping, either to reclaim wasteland at the foot of Changping Yan Mountain, or to join the army directly."

"Yesterday alone, 1,238 people were qualified to join the army, and if you want to come and continue like this, you will be able to supplement the establishment of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Yulin Three Guards in about three months."

"Well, tell Man Gui and Sun Yingyuan that they will train them, and when the imperial brother needs them, they must do their best for the imperial brother!" Zhu Youzhen said righteously, provoking Zhu Youxiao to give him a blank look.

However, after rolling his eyes, Zhu Youxiao still became interested and said:

"If they can really be as brave as my brother said, then the rebellion of Jianzhou may be cut off in just three or two years."

"Uh...... This ......" Zhu Youzhen listened to the words of the good imperial brother and hesitated:

"Brother, the war is not so simple, the terrain of Liaodong is rugged, full of mountains, and the old slave has built hundreds of wooden forts, if you want to attack the old slave, it is difficult to exert strength between the crowded army and the mountain road."

"The most important thing is the war horse, at present, there are only thousands of war horses in the Imperial Horse Prison, and the old slave has subdued the Tatars of Inner Khalkha, almost every horse."

"At the current rate of captivity of the Imperial Horse Supervisor's war horses, I'm afraid it will take another three or four years before the army can advance and break through Hetuala."

"That's a fast time, too." Zhu Youxiao listened to Zhu Youzhen's words, from frowning at the beginning to stretching his brows, and his mood was much better.

Seeing this, Zhu Youzhen also took the opportunity to say:

"By the way, brother, my brother has been in the capital for five days, and it is estimated that he will return to Changping in five days, that is, on the 25th."

"But brother, don't worry, at most on the fifth day of the next month, I will rush back to the capital."

"Hmm......" Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, Zhu Youxiao also nodded, knowing that Zhu Youzhen had stayed in the capital for so long because of himself.

The two brothers exchanged pleasantries, and then dealt with a few notes sent by the celebrant supervisor, and then continued to ride horses and shoot arrows, so that they could live happily......
