"I know about this matter, wait for me to think about it, and talk about it tomorrow morning."

Zhu Houzhao said very perfunctorily, it was impossible to let Jiao Fang go, he wanted to let the old guy farm in Liaodong until he died.

"The old minister retired."

Li Dongyang can't guess all of Zhu Houzhao's thoughts, and he can also predict seven or eight points, this is an emperor who will never accept any compromise, and what he doesn't give, others can't take the initiative to ask for it.

Jiao Fang's matter is probably not successful, but he doesn't want to say anything, just bring the words, he is already a person who has half a foot in the coffin, there is no need to contradict Zhu Houzhao again.

"Liu Jin, send the elder on my behalf."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and instructed Liu Jin.

"Please, sir."

Liu Jin sent Li Dongyang away, and returned to the leopard room after a short time, and Zhu Houzhao also had a dragon pattern embroidered spring knife in his hand, which was sharp and cold, and it was a rare treasure knife.

Zhu Houzhao waved the knife twice, and his cynical face suddenly became gloomy: "Liu Jin, you said, did they really think of Jiao Fang's talent when they let Jiao Fang come back, or did they have other plans." ”

As a young emperor, the most unbearable thing for him is that someone provokes his authority, Jiao Fang's matter has long been determined, and now someone intends to mediate for him, which is openly slapping him in the face.

"Emperor, Jiao Fang is just a dog with a broken spine, how can he talk about great talent, from the perspective of slaves and maids, it is likely that those people intend to use Jiao Fang's matter to attack the emperor."

Liu Jin pointed to the guide, the meaning is self-evident, Zhu Houzhao has not done anything for a long time, and the Southern Gentry Group feels that he is doing it again, and wants to wrestle with Zhu Houzhao.

Jiao Fang is just an excuse.

"Back then, I was able to suppress their crooked tendencies, and now they have what capital do they have to fight with me."

smiled coldly, extremely disdainful, the tricks of the southern gentry group, in exchange for the beginning of his ascension, may be able to create some trouble for him, and now, he can throw all the gentry in Jiangnan to Liaodong to farm.

"A group of maggots also dare to go against the emperor, they don't know whether they are alive or dead."

Liu Jin also sneered disdainfully, as Zhu Houzhao's number one dog, he has helped Zhu Houzhao do a lot of big things, he knows Zhu Houzhao's methods better than anyone else, Jiangnan Gentry Group, give them hundreds of brains and don't think about playing with Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne at a young age, and he can be said to have a shallow foundation in the court, with the queen mother controlling the harem, and the cabinet triumvirate Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang controlling the government, and few people take Zhu Houzhao seriously at all.

At that time, Zhu Houzhao could be said to be a mascot sitting on the Fengtian Hall as a symbol of the Ming Dynasty.

However, it was in such a difficult situation that Zhu Houzhao rose up at an incredible speed, grasped a few knives in the hands of the Ming Emperor, and actively appointed Jinyiwei, the East and West Factories, and regained the rights that belonged to him from the Queen Mother and the three giants of the cabinet.

Later, Zhu Houzhao went all the way, expelled Liu Jian, Xie Qian, boldly appointed Wang Shouren, carried out reforms, controlled the nine-sided army, developed the land of Liaodong, suppressed the Jiangnan Shi clan, pacified the coastal wars, captured Fusang State, defeated the little Mongolian prince, and ended the nearly 200-year dispute between the Ming Dynasty and the grassland.

Zhu Houzhao's exploits are obvious to all, and he has never killed a hero, whether it is an important minister of the imperial court, a gentry or a nobleman, but anyone who commits a crime is only assigned to Liaodong to farm, and Zhu Houzhao has never killed a person.

It was Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, who rebelled under the instigation of the Jiangnan Shi clan, Zhu Houzhao did not kill him, and now he is still working hard to farm in Liaodong, and he is provided with three delicious meals a day.

From the emperor's point of view, Zhu Houzhao is indeed a very promising monarch, from the perspective of clans, nobles, and gentry, Zhu Houzhao is an out-and-out tyrant.

Cutting the royal family, depriving the vassal king of the land at will, and letting the noble gentry and nobles go to Liaodong to farm the land, which emperor has ever done this throughout the ages?

Under the rendering of the gentry and nobles, Zhu Houzhao's reputation has never been good, and what kind of eunuchs, tyrannical and unreasonable, mean-spirited, and even ridiculous hats that like men are buttoned on Zhu Houzhao's head.

But no matter what, Liu Jin's fear of Zhu Houzhao is extremely strong, and at the beginning of Zhu Houzhao's ascension, he even thought about being the second Wang Zhen and tasting what it was like to be nine thousand years old.

However, after seeing Zhu Houzhao's methods, he dispelled all his thoughts, honestly served Zhu Houzhao, acted as Zhu Houzhao's loyal dog, and did not dare to have the slightest bad thoughts.

His treacherous and cunning Liu Jin is still like this, not to mention that the group of Jiangnan scholars who seem to be very educated, but are actually stupid, want to fight with Zhu Houzhao, they are just killing themselves.

"Let Dongchang check it, I want to see what flowers they can play this time!"

Zhu Houzhao said lightly, he didn't take the Jiangnan Shi clan in his eyes at all, his current goal is not limited to unifying the world in his lifetime, he wants to fight outside the world.

The appearance of the mysterious space gave him hope, lifespan, space, time, and latitude are no longer the key factors that bind him, and he doesn't need to continue to play with the nobles of the clan who hinder him, and the sooner he unifies this world, he can start a new journey as soon as possible.

"Yes."

Liu Jin responded, and then thought about something, and said: "Your Majesty, yesterday the Queen Mother sent someone to pass the word, saying that there was something important to discuss with Your Majesty. ”

"The Queen Mother?"

Zhu Houzhao frowned slightly, his relationship with the Queen Mother was not very good, what did he suddenly want to do with him?

In order to establish his authority, he sent his two uncles to Liaodong to farm, which led to tension between mother and son, and he hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Forget it, let's go meet it!"

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and decided to meet Empress Dowager Zhang, after all, no matter what, she was the only wife of his father Emperor Hongzhi, his wife.

Inserting the dragon embroidered spring knife into the scabbard and hanging it on his waist, Zhu Houzhao immediately took Liu Jin to Kunning Palace, Zhu Houzhao did not set up a queen, and this Kunning Palace has always been where Empress Dowager Zhang lived.

Along the way, Zhu Houzhao's hand has never left the hilt, he has experienced many times over the years, he is used to this action, once he encounters an assassin's assassination, he can also draw a knife at any time to deal with it.

His martial arts are also excellent, pacifying the first battle of the Northern Yuan, but also personally beheaded the fierce and brave little prince of the Northern Yuan, with what he did, he can live to this day, his martial arts can be said to be indispensable.

Kunning Palace, as the residence of the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty, is magnificent and extraordinary, but Zhu Houzhao has no intention of appreciating it, how many years have he been in the Forbidden City, and he is tired of seeing the beautiful scenery, so he took Liu Jin straight to the main hall of Kunning Palace.
