Chapter 651: Jiang Xuan is in prison!
Lao Zhu is 10,000 willing to make Zhu Wengui the prince.
But he was afraid that the child was too young to bear such a big blessing, so he folded the child's lifespan.
Another point is that the queen has not yet given birth to a son, if the queen gives birth to a son, it will be the eldest son, and the eldest son will have been made the crown prince by then, so how can the eldest son be embarrassed?
When Lao Zhu thought of this, he couldn't wait to bring Zhu Yunxi back and beat him up.
If this turtle grandson is a snack in the harem, we won't be bothered by this!
"Let's discuss the matter of Lichu again, now our eldest grandson is just sick, and he is not dead, why are you in such a hurry to Lichu?"
When Gao Ming and the others heard this, they felt a little relieved.
After all, this came out of the mouth of the old emperor, Zhu Yunxi can hide it from the people of the world, so he can't even hide it from the old emperor, right?
Therefore, what the old emperor said must be true, Zhu Yunxi was just a little sick, and it was not as serious as rumored.
"Since Your Majesty has a plan in his heart, then Wei Chen and the others will leave......"
Lao Zhu looked at the three departing cabinet ministers, and there was another wave of slander in his heart.
What do we have to do!
Our special mother also lives one day at a time!
As soon as Lao Zhu sent away the three old things, he saw the second tiger running over with a roar.
"Emperor, it's not good!"
"What's the matter?"
"King Kanhito and King Heesung of Japan are running away!"
Lao Zhu scolded angrily when he heard this.
"What a big deal do we think, it's such a after a long time!"
"Isn't it over if you run away and catch it back, it's worth all the fuss you make?"
"Emperor, our fleet is now in the West and the Golden Continent, and there is no navy on the mainland......"
"Really?"
Lao Zhu hurriedly walked to the sea frontier sand table map, and saw that as the two tigers said, the Ming fleet was fighting a fierce battle in a place called the Mediterranean Sea in the west, cleaning up the disobedient small country over there.
In addition, there are many fleets that trade around Africa and catch local products.
A part of the fleet was stationed in the area of the Golden Continent Canal, supervising the construction of the Grand Canal by the local aborigines.
Looking at it this way, there is really no navy in the Ming Dynasty, and there are only some patrol ships that cannot go to the ocean and can only wander around in the offshore area.
"Then bring some back from the Golden Continent?"
Hearing this, Erhu's eyes darkened, revealing a tiger's head and a tiger's brain.
"Emperor, why don't you call Master Gao to come in and discuss?"
"Your Majesty said before leaving, once you encounter something about the navy, let you consult Master Gao."
"Clever ......"
Lao Zhu subconsciously showed a disgusted expression on his face, he had never looked down on this guy, if it weren't for the face of the eldest grandson, he would have let this dog go down to find his brother a long time ago.
"Okay!"
"You call him in and ask if the fleet over there in the Golden Continent can bring back a few ships."
"Okay!"
After a while, Gao Ming came in and looked at the sand table road.
"Your Majesty, there have been three riots over there in the Golden Continent in the past month. Once the fleet is drawn from there, the local natives will definitely break out into a bigger riot, and the delay in the construction period is small, if it delays His Majesty's plan to attack the Golden Continent, it will be worth the loss. ”
Lao Zhu immediately became a little impatient when he heard this.
"Then tell me, where can we still draw enough manpower to go to Japan to capture those two rebel kings!"
When Gao Ming heard this, his face showed a little worry.
"Those two rebel kings don't matter, what Wechen is most worried about now are the Ming merchants stranded in Japan, and the Ming defenders in the Iwami Silver Mine."
"In the past, the Japanese dragons were leaderless, and our Ming only needed a few thousand people to suppress all the local daimyo and guards."
"Now that the two rebel kings have run back, Japan is equivalent to having a backbone. Once they raise their arms and shout, and the daimyo guards all over Japan respond, then our garrison in Japan will be in danger. ”
"It is imperative now to urgently raise ships to bring them back so that they do not encounter any contingencies."
"Shipped back?"
Lao Zhu looked at the Ming fleet on the sand table and was far away from the mainland, and no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't tell which fleet could return to China in a short time.
"Now we don't even have a ship, what are we going to ship back to?"
Gao Ming said confidently when he heard this.
"The ship's business is easy to handle!"
"The Imperial Lady...... His Majesty had already consulted with his ministers and formulated a wartime ordinance that allowed the imperial court to requisition merchant ships for a fee. ”
"In recent years, the Daming maritime trade has been prosperous, and the four major maritime business groups have made a lot of money by taking advantage of the east wind of the Daming sea ban, and there are many large ships with more than 2,000 materials in their hands."
"With just five such big ships, all the Ming troops stationed in Japan can be transported back."
When Lao Zhu heard Gao Ming's words, even if he couldn't look down on 10,000 in his heart, he had to admit that this guy had a few brushes.
"It's just that the ship's affairs are easy to solve, but the manpower affairs are difficult to handle, and we don't have the navy to respond to it at the moment......"
As soon as Lao Zhu heard this, he hurriedly took over the topic.
"It's easy to handle manpower!"
"Isn't there 10,000 recruits on Li Qi's side, they have been training for a year, and they can't be counted on in the war, so there should be no problem in picking them up."
When Gao Ming heard this, he hurriedly gave Lao Zhu a rainbow fart.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
In fact, it is impossible for Gao Ming not to think of this. The reason why he said that it was difficult to do it was mainly because he wanted to give Lao Zhu a chance to perform.
Gao Ming has long known that Lao Zhu can't look down on himself, if he doesn't look down on him in normal times, he can't look down on him, you can still bite me to death. But now it is at the head of a national crisis, and once the monarch and the minister do not agree, it will inevitably cause a catastrophe.
Therefore, Gao Ming slapped Lao Zhu against his will, wanting to ease the relationship between Lao Zhu and himself.
Sure enough, after Lao Zhu listened to Gao Ming's sycophant, he was grinning to the back of his head with a big smile.
"We thought Master Gao was omnipotent, but I didn't expect that there would be times when the lights were dark, hahaha!"
Gao Ming slapped his ass against his will again when he heard this.
"After all, Weichen is a civil official, unlike His Majesty who was killed on the battlefield of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, sometimes thinking about problems is indeed limited."
Lao Zhu generously forgave Gao Ming's mistake and waved his hand at him.
"Go and raise the matter of requisitioning merchant ships."
"Let's write a note to Li Qi now, and ask him to send 2,000 people to operate a merchant ship to pick up people in Japan......"
"No!"
Gao Ming just wanted to step down, and suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, Your Majesty, those two rebel kings of Japan have been under the guard of the Jinyi Guard, why did they suddenly run away?"
When Lao Zhu heard this, he immediately looked coldly at the two tigers standing on the side, but he didn't blame the other party, but left a little thin face for the other party.
"We'll send someone to investigate this matter, you can go ahead with your business first!"
"No!"
After Gao Ming left, Lao Zhu said coldly.
"How do you explain this?"
When the second tiger heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground.
"Emperor, the capital crime ...... of despicable duty"
"I thought that these two rebel kings had always been very stable, so I transferred people to other places without permission, leaving only two small flags to take care of them."
"Who would have thought, these two small flags didn't look at it, and let people run away......"
When Lao Zhu heard Erhu's explanation, his eyes became deeper and deeper.
"Who knows about your staff?"
Erhu thought for a moment and said.
"Nobody knows...... If you have to say that someone knows, it is probably the inside of Jinyiwei, right? ”
Lao Zhu sneered when he heard this.
"You go back and check, I'm afraid your brocade guards are not clean."
"Huh?"
Erhu said with a puzzled face.
"No, the Jinyi guards are all old men, can they do such things like this?"
Lao Zhu saw that Erhu still naively believed in Jinyiwei, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This stupid tiger will have to help people pay if he is sold in the future!
"Let's let you check, you can check, what so much nonsense!"
"Forget it, let others check this matter, let your mallet check, there is a high probability that you won't find anything!"
When Erhu heard this, he couldn't help but think in his heart, if he didn't let himself check, who else could he let check, could it be difficult for the imperial historian to check?
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lao Zhu's voice fell, he called Qin Deshun over.
"Qin Deshun, this matter will be handed over to you to investigate, and we must check the inside and outside of the Jinyi Guard!"
"No!"
When Erhu saw that Lao Zhu handed over such an important matter to a eunuch, he was a little unhappy on the spot.
"Emperor, Father-in-law Qin stays in the palace all year round, how can he know how to investigate cases!"
"Besides, he doesn't have any manpower......
Lao Zhu was even more angry when he heard this, it has been a few years since he set up the East Factory, and this stupid tiger didn't hear any news at all?
"Shut up!"
"From now on, you are not allowed to leave the palace, just stay at our door!"
Lao Zhu said as he wrote down an edict and handed it to Qin Deshun.
"Qin Deshun, you teach this stupid tiger a good lesson, let him see how powerful you are in Dongchang!"
"Emperor, just take a look!"
Qin Deshun took the edict written by Lao Zhu, took two hundred eunuchs, and sealed the Beizhen Fusi on the spot.
"His Majesty the Emperor has a decree, Jinyiwei eats inside and outside, and we will check it out at the East Factory!"
When Jiang Xuan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, heard this, his face was full of disbelief.
When will there be an extra East Factory in Daming?
Didn't the emperor always trust Jinyiwei, how could he let others check Jinyiwei?
"Commander Jiang, do you want to resist the decree?"
"Don't dare!"
Jiang Xuan looked at Qin Deshun, and then looked at the holy decree in his hand, saying that he didn't dare, but his body was straight.
Seeing this, Qin Deshun could only hand the edict to Jiang Xuan, Jiang Xuan didn't even bother to excuse himself, took the holy decree to check it, and saw that it was really the handwriting of the old emperor, so he believed that what Qin Deshun said was true.
"Dare to ask Gonggong Qin, but what did the Jinyi Guards do to dissatisfy His Majesty the Emperor?"
Qin Deshun snorted coldly when he heard this.
"Of course!"
"The two rebel kings of Japan have run away, and you Jinyi guards can't get out of it!"
"Someone, please ask Commander Jiang to enter the Fusi Prison in Beizhen for questioning!"
"No!"
Although the eunuchs brought by Qin Deshun wanted to cheer up very much, after all, they were missing a string of things, whether it was strength or tone, they were too feminine.
So much so that when they shouted in unison, not only did they fail to scare the group of Jinyi Guards, but instead caused a group of ridicule.
"Hahaha, if the father-in-law can't shout, don't shout, quietly come forward, we don't dare to move!"
When Qin Deshun saw this scene, he was so angry that he raised his orchid fingers, pointed at the people who were laughing wildly, and shouted.
"Take it for us!"
This time, the eunuchs of Dongchang learned the lesson just now, and they really stopped shouting promises, and directly stepped forward with gloomy faces and put the chains on the people of Jinyiwei, and escorted them to the Fusi prison in Beizhen.
This is also a helpless thing, the headquarters of the East Factory is located in the palace, and there is no place to hold prisoners at all, so they can only borrow Jinyiwei's cell to keep Jinyiwei's people.
When Jinyiwei's thousands of households, commanding servants and others entered the prison, they immediately couldn't laugh.
This group of eggless fathers-in-law can't do anything else, it's really ruthless to torture people. In less than an hour, the legs of two people had been broken, and many more had fainted from torture.
"We are loyal to Your Majesty and the court, why do you want to humiliate us like this, we don't accept it...... Yes...... Ahhhh......h
Jiang Xuan was locked up in the Tianzi cell, listening to the miserable howls coming from outside, and couldn't help but roar at the eunuch who was guarding him.
"Are you interrogating or deliberately making things difficult?"
"Do you have to force us to admit rebellion before we are willing?"
Qin Deshun's number one cadre, Su Peisheng, smiled darkly when he heard this.
"Commander Jiang, it's not like you are going to rebel, but there are indeed a lot of people under your hands who are not clean, right?"
"Let's not talk about anything else, let's just say that you received 1,000 taels of gold from Yuan Daoyi on the 18th day of the lunar month last year, and 2,000 taels of gold from Ganren, the rebel king in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year."
"If you want to intercede with your subordinates, make these two things clear first!"
When Jiang Xuan heard this, he was like a deflated ball on the spot, and his old face was also flushed.
If the other party just said the amount of money, he could still deny it, saying that he had never confiscated the money.
But the other party not only accurately stated the amount of money, but even the date, he must have had conclusive evidence, and he had no chance to deny it.
"Guilty plea!"
Su Peisheng rolled his eyes disdainfully when he heard this.
"Commander Jiang, do you know how Da Ming Law sentences corruption and bribery?"
"According to the Da Ming law set by our emperor, you can pick up the skin and grass if you embezzle fifty taels of silver."
"You are greedy for three thousand taels of gold, let alone let you peel the skin and grass, even if you are condemned to be beheaded, right?"
When Qin Deshun heard this, he was immediately unconvinced.
"I have been working hard for so many years, and the whole family is still crowded in the courtyard of the two entrances, and I don't even have a carriage when I usually travel!"
"Those businessmen just rely on a few stinky money, they can wear gold and silver, live in a big mansion with five entrances, and have a carriage to pick them up, I am a dignified three-grade commander, why can't I have all this!"
"Besides, if it is still in accordance with the laws formulated by His Majesty the Emperor back then, I am afraid that eighty percent of the Ming officials will have to peel off the skin and grass!"
"Let's not talk about others, let's just talk about Feng Ji, who is in charge of the allocation of money and grain, when he first became the head of the household department, the whole family still rented a small courtyard. It's been less than two years now, and he's moved twice and lives in a big three-entry house. ”
"If you want to arrest corrupt officials, first go and arrest the civil officials in the court, and then finally arrest your own officials!"
"The official did take the money of the Japanese rebel king, but the official has never done anything for them, let alone reported to them!"
