Chapter 567: The Goddaughter of Conne!
In the second year of Fuli, Cui Hun's life was significantly changed.
Because this year, when he was still ignorant, he lost his qualification to be a man.
Although it was Da Ming who took the initiative to ask for eunuchs from North Korea to enrich the harem, he did not hate Da Ming, and even felt a little grateful to Da Ming.
Because the Ming people not only gave him the right to choose, but also clearly informed him of what he would lose.
And after learning that his parents had not been fully compensated, the Ming officials who were responsible for recruiting eunuchs also personally entered the palace to question the king and helped his family get the compensation they deserved.
In addition, he met a noble man in Daming, who not only took good care of him, but even ordered someone to take his parents to Daming, so that they could live a good life completely.
If you have to say sorry for anyone, it is estimated that you are only sorry for Wang De, the head of Beigong.
Wang Deyi's father is also good to himself, and once said that he would focus on cultivating himself and making himself literate in reading.
It's just that the love of the father-in-law came too late, and he had already dedicated his loyalty to another nobleman.
"Then let's extinguish!"
When Cui Hun heard this, a strange smile appeared on his face.
He did it!
He not only avenged himself, but also repaid the kindness of the nobles!
Your Majesty!
It was you who were unkind first, and I was unjust, and I Choi Hun didn't feel sorry for North Korea, it was you who were sorry for North Korea!
When Cui Hun was doing psychological construction, Lao Zhu was a little surprised.
Because now that the Ming Dynasty is fighting against the Northern Yuan, it may not be able to draw enough troops to conquer Korea.
Although the Daming Navy Division is invincible, no matter how invincible the ships at sea are, they will eventually have to land and fight.
Li Fangyuan of the Northern Dynasty was not only a good hand at fighting, but also a good manager of civil affairs.
It is said that under his rule, there was even a Zhongxing atmosphere in the Northern Dynasties, which attracted many people with lofty ideals from the Southern Dynasties and Goryeo to join the army.
Of course, more people choose to be pro-Ming and send their descendants to study in Daming.
After all, Da Ming is more powerful and can provide them with more opportunities.
"Eldest grandson, we don't object to your use of troops abroad, but you have to know. Although the country is large, it is a truth that if you are warlike, you will perish. ”
Zhu Yunxi nodded when he heard this.
"The grandson remembers the teachings of the imperial grandfather, but please rest assured that the grandson is not hot-headed and made this decision on a whim."
"By dividing North Korea into three, Sun Er intends to make it endlessly strife. When they are almost killing each other, the people of the Ming Dynasty can naturally migrate over, occupy the familiar land there, and turn it into the county of the Ming Dynasty. ”
"But Li Fangyuan has gone too far in recent years, and it is just a matter of faintly opposing the Ming Dynasty, and he has even played foreign policy with the Southern Dynasty and Goryeo, trying to ease relations with the other two countries, so as to slowly conquer peacefully and steadily."
"This is contrary to my vision, how can I let him continue to grow?"
Lao Zhu also expressed his understanding when he heard this, but he threw out another worry.
"What you say is not unreasonable, but where are the troops drawn from?"
"Conquest and occupation are not the same, to conquer the Northern Dynasty, your navy alone is enough. However, if you want to occupy the Northern Dynasty and completely incorporate it into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, you can't rely on the navy alone, you must have enough troops on the ground, and you can be stationed for a long time to prevent the enemy from rebelling. ”
"We fought Yunnan back then, and we didn't talk about it for several years, and we threw Mu Ying over there to guard ......"
"Let's not talk about the candidates for the town guard now, just the army of the Daming Guard has been almost transferred by you, where are you going to transfer the troops from?"
This stumped Zhu Yunxi, and he didn't know where to transfer troops for a while.
Now that the battle of the Northern Yuan Dynasty has reached a critical period, it is difficult to come at any time with good news of victory from the front.
Once the troops are withdrawn at this time, not only will the efforts of several years be wasted, but they may even miss the best opportunity to destroy the yuan.
"Think about it again, anyway, it's going to be the New Year soon, and it's okay to clean up the Northern Dynasty after the New Year."
"Now let's clean up this guy first, this guy is so bold that he dares to attack my unborn child, and not dismantling it is not enough to vent the hatred in my heart!"
"This guy ......"
Lao Zhu had a different idea, and said to the Jinyi guard on the side.
"Take it down for interrogation, and if there is no other mastermind, kill it!"
When Jin Yiwei heard this, he immediately promised, and then took Cui Hun to torture him.
Not long after, there was a sound of ghosts crying and wolf howls outside the door, which frightened the palace maids and eunuchs in Mu Yao's dormitory.
This is also the effect that Jinyiwei wants to achieve, they just want to make the people inside feel scared and frightened.
However, the wailing did not last long before the crying stopped abruptly.
Jinyi Wei Jiang Zhen took Cui Hun's corpse and came to Lao Zhu to restore his life.
"Your Majesty, this person must have been instructed by his lord Li Fangyuan, and said that he didn't know that the princess Mu was pregnant, but just buried musk under the tree in each palace according to the plan!"
Zhu Yunxi frowned when he heard this, feeling that it was too cheap for this eunuch, but Lao Zhu was very satisfied, and immediately ended the case.
"Good!"
"Send someone to question Li Fangyuan, the lord of the Northern Dynasty, and ask him to give an explanation to Daming!"
"At the same time, none of the people in this palace can stay, all of them will be sent to the imperial tomb to sweep the tomb!"
"No!"
Lao Zhu hurriedly finished handling the case, and then went back to the palace to sleep under the pretext of being sleepy. Zhu Yunxi wanted to send him off, but he flatly refused.
"You hurry back to the palace to do business, we don't want you to send it!"
"Alas......"
"Grandpa Huang, are you dealing with this matter too quickly?"
"Sun Er thinks that this matter must not be so simple, Li Fangyuan is not stupid, and he will not do such a stupid thing. Second, after the Korean eunuchs entered the palace, they came into contact with too many people, and they were inevitably bribed by others to do something against their ancestors. ”
"Really?"
Old Zhu asked in surprise, and then yawned and left, leaving Zhu Yunxi standing in place.
Zhu Yunxi is sure that Lao Zhu can also think of this. But he still cut the line with a quick knife, probably to protect some people.
In fact, Lao Zhu did have suspicions, but he was not protecting anyone, but he was afraid of over-interrogation and interrogation of some things that should not be said.
For example, the little eunuch couldn't stand the punishment and began to bite indiscriminately.
No matter who he bites out, he will leave a nail in the eldest grandson's heart.
If they bite out a certain rebel son, or a rebel grandson, then their old Zhu family will not be able to live?
Therefore, he simply didn't give the other party a chance to talk nonsense, and ordered someone to kill him under casual interrogation, so as to put an end to the possibility of this kind of separation between the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Family.
After Lao Zhu took the concubine Mu to the Forbidden City and executed a small eunuch in the North Palace, the officialdom of the entire capital was slightly shocked.
The emperor's grandson has a queen, this is great news!
Whether it is a military commander or a civil servant, they all feel happy for the Ming Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts.
If it was placed in the past, they would definitely be more inclined to Zhu Yunwen. But when Zhu Yunxi accepted the daughter of the Kong family as a concubine, all the ministers set their eyes on Zhu Yunxi.
After all, Yan Shenggong's vision will not be bad, and he can take the initiative to marry his granddaughter to the imperial grandson, so he must have seen Zhu Yunxi's ability.
In fact, Zhu Yunxi is indeed very capable, after his North Palace began to operate, there has never been a matter of arrears in arrears of Ming officials, or taking salted fish, spices and other groceries to pay for it.
Even the treasure banknotes were scrapped and replaced with more trustworthy and more purchasing power of gold, silver, and bronze tickets.
Although these gold, silver and bronze bills are the same as the Daming treasure banknotes, they are all paper products. But these gold, silver and bronze bills are much stronger than treasure notes, and as many copper coins or silver dollars as they are printed on them, they can be exchanged from the bank.
In addition, when merchants and ordinary people pay taxes, they can also use gold, silver and bronze tickets, and the government may not refuse to accept them.
In addition, gold, silver and bronze tickets are still not discounted after being defaced, depreciated, and faded, and they can be exchanged for the same amount of metal currency at any bank, or exchanged for a brand new ticket.
Under Zhu Yunxi's drastic reform, Ming officials were not afraid of receiving paper money, but were willing to accept paper money.
After all, compared to the weight of metal money, paper money is much lighter. As long as you put it in your sleeve, it is light and fluttering as if there is no weight.
Of course, if someone asks them for an errand, it is also more convenient to give them gifts......
Although they were very excited about the empress of the emperor's grandson, they were shocked when they heard about the old emperor's disposition.
Because this is not out of the old emperor's style of doing things at all, murdering the emperor's heir, this is a big crime of the Jiu clan, even Ling Chi is not surprising, the old emperor slaughtered the first evil so easily?
Wenchen was stunned, and the generals were stunned.
But the best of the Wenchen and the generals quietly made their own choices.
Tang He terminated all the contacts with the prince's son-in-law, his family had a big business, many children, not only married a royal daughter-in-law, but also married many daughters to the royal family.
In the past, he had a very close relationship with his sons-in-law, but after Lao Zhu so hastily dealt with the murderer of the emperor's heir, he realized that something was wrong.
If it weren't for the fact that this matter might involve people in the royal family, with the personality of Zhu Butcher, how could he let it go so easily?
It's just that he doesn't know which rebel in the royal family did it now, so for the sake of safety, he simply came to a one-size-fits-all approach, so as not to collapse after the incident in the future.
When Yan Shenggong heard about this, he also hurried into the palace to ask for a meeting.
However, after a few words with the imperial grandson, he went straight to the point to meet his granddaughter.
Of course, Zhu Yunxi couldn't stop him, but he couldn't let him go to his harem, so he could only order someone to call Kong over and let Lao Kong meet him in the front hall.
Originally, Zhu Yunxi didn't want to leave, and wanted to entertain the old Kong Tou with the Kong family.
But Lao Kongtou unceremoniously gave him an expulsion order.
"Imperial grandson, you are busy with affairs, so you don't need to accompany me, an old man!"
"Uh......"
Zhu Yunxi was stunned when he heard this, but he couldn't rely on it, so he could only say awkwardly.
"Yan Shenggong, don't be in a hurry to leave, Gu has already ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and I must entertain you with Concubine Taisun today!"
Old Kongtou said with a smile when he heard this.
"If you dare to be affectionate, the old man will be respectful and obey his fate!"
After Zhu Yunxi left, the grandson concubine Kong Yanshu immediately saluted her grandfather.
Kong Ne didn't wait for her to finish the worship, so he scolded her.
"You're so confused!"
Kong Yanshu asked puzzled.
"Grandfather, why is my granddaughter confused?"
"Since the granddaughter entered the palace, it can be said that she is careful everywhere and cautious, for fear of making a mistake."
Hearing this, Kong Ne snorted coldly.
"Recently, Your Majesty has disposed of a eunuch, and has also distributed all the palace maids and eunuchs in Concubine Mu's palace?"
"yes!"
"Do you know why?"
Kong Yanshu shook her head when she heard this.
"My granddaughter doesn't know!"
"But the granddaughter heard that all that person was recruited, saying that he was instructed by Li Fangyuan, the lord of the Northern Dynasty, and His Majesty ordered someone to kill him when he was angry!"
Hearing this, Kong Ne sneered again.
"That's where you are foolish, and this kind of talk is just a deception to an ignorant woman like you."
"If what the eunuch said is true, His Majesty will never kill him, and he will definitely be taken as a hostage and taken to the Northern Dynasty to question Li Fangyuan, so that he can give Daming an explanation."
"If what the eunuch said is false, His Majesty will not be able to kill him, because once he is killed, no one will know the truth."
Kong Yanshu was also confused when she heard this, and asked with a puzzled face.
"Then why did Your Majesty ......?"
Hearing this, Conne exclaimed sincerely.
"This is the genius of Your Majesty, whether this person kills or not, it is a trouble."
"If you let it bite, you may not know who will pull it out. Moreover, there is often no evidence for such things, and it is all based on the confessions of the eunuchs. ”
"It is difficult for those who have been wronged to prove their innocence, and it is difficult for Jinyiwei to collect evidence."
"Moreover, there are too many people who are suspicious, not to mention the emperor and grandson Zhu Yunwen, just those vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, all of them are suspicious."
"After all, as long as the imperial grandson has no heirs, his grandson's position will inevitably be unstable. Even if the old emperor loves the imperial grandson and is unwilling to abandon his position as the imperial grandson, he will choose a suitable person from among the children of the clan to succeed him. ”
"Huh?"
Kong Yanshu was stunned when she heard this, she couldn't have imagined that a small case would involve so many things.
However, Kong Ne's words were not finished, and the next words directly made Kong Yanshu's heart sink to the bottom.
"There is also a possibility that it is protecting you and giving you some face for this genuine princess."
"Me?"
"What does this have to do with my granddaughter, my granddaughter never knew that Mu was pregnant!"
Kong Yanshu said this, with a little anger on her face.
This incident made her very aggrieved, she was the real princess, and it was already a shame to be preempted by a concubine.
Now the Mu family has made such a show again, concealing her pregnancy, so that outsiders can look at her as a concubine?
If it weren't for the fact that she, the concubine, was too arrogant and domineering to tolerate people, how could she let a side concubine be so forbearant and so careful?
"Grandfather, granddaughter is wronged, ......"
When Kong Ne saw his daughter crying, he couldn't bear it for a while.
"Alas!"
"You can't be blamed for this, but since you are sitting in this position, you must bear the blame."
"I ......"
"Please grandfather, what should my granddaughter do next?"
"Spread your hair and take off the hairpin ring. Plain clothes, enter the palace to ask for sin! ”
When Kong Yanshu heard this, she blew up on the spot.
"What's wrong with my granddaughter, it's clear that she is that slut, who lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and deliberately frames me!"
When Conne heard this, he raised his hand to strike. But after struggling for a long time, I was not willing to fight after all.
"That's why I scolded you for being confused!"
"Whether it has anything to do with you or not, you can't shirk this responsibility!"
"You have to be humble enough to admit that you didn't take good care of yourself, and if you failed to protect the Mu family, you almost caused a catastrophe......
"At the same time, you also have to fight to bring the Mu family back and take care of her diet and daily life in person, until she is safe and has the imperial heir."
"Only in this way can the world dispel suspicions about you, and at the same time prove to the world that you have the mind and bearing of a mother!"
