"Hey, have you heard, immediately the court said that it was going to use troops against the north!"

"With soldiers? You mean hit that Tatar, right? Is it so fast? ”

In the realm of Jingshi, in a teahouse, everyone was chatting with different tones.

"Is it okay if you're not happy?"

One of them took a sip of tea, looked excited, and said loudly:

"Those barbarians in the north, I heard that they are all about to enter our Daming! The border was full of wolves, and there were small Tatar troops everywhere, and it was said that the Tatar army was about to go south. ”

His words immediately caused everyone to exclaim:

"That's not good, the Tatars are very cruel, if they get in, our good days will come to an end."

"But no, it's no wonder that a while ago there was a lot of talk in the market that Tatar was coming, and I still didn't believe it, and now the imperial court is ready to send troops, so it doesn't seem that the situation is very good......"

There was a lot of talk and hatred for the Tatars, and they were at a loss for the coming war.

Although they are in the capital division, the Tatar invasion is heading south, and if the imperial army can't resist it, it will be terrible!

"What are you doing in a hurry?"

A somewhat wealthy middle-aged man in the teahouse took a sip of the teacup, and then said with a smile:

"This time, I heard that the crown prince personally led the troops to the battle, think about it, when did our Royal Highness the crown prince lose the battle?"

"When he was still a prince, he beat the Tatars and Warats on the grassland with Yongle Ye, and cut off the heads of other people's khans!"

"Later, he pacified Liaodong and conquered the Japanese Kingdom, which can be described as both wise and brave, invincible."

"This time the Tatars dare to make a comeback to invade our Ming Dynasty, I see, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be able to easily sweep them down if he comes out in person!"

Zhu Gaoxian's past achievements are indeed quite dazzling, both externally and internally, showing his super military ability, and he is not the kind of brainless martial artist.

Therefore, after the people were frightened by the rumors of the Tatar invasion at the beginning, the situation was quickly calmed down as Zhu Gaoxian ordered Jinyiwei to take action.

Without him, Jin Yiwei came forward and said, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fought in the east and west, when did he lose the battle? What is the way to be a mere Tatar?

Therefore, when everyone is talking about it now, the original fear has disappeared, and at most it is a worry about what to do if the Ming army fails to hold and the Tatars break through the defense line and plunder south.

"What Brother Liu said is very true, some time ago I heard that the imperial court bought good beef tendon wood and the like everywhere, most of them were preparing to build weapons."

While speaking, everyone suddenly heard a commotion outside the teahouse, and when they looked at the window, they found that it was a group of soldiers escorting dozens of people to the execution ground.

"Recently, the imperial court has been really strong in investigating and dealing with corruption, how many are this?"

Someone silently calculated for a while, and said with some uncertainty:

"It should be the eighth, right? Last time, it was said that it was a squire-sama. ”

"Cut, what about the squire? These corrupt officials deserve to die, if you want me to say, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done too right! ”

……

Bang!

In the house of the official Shangshu Wang Zhi, the ground is full of teacup fragments.

"I'm really angry with the old man!"

In the past, the officials who always put on a calm and composing appearance now seem a little angry.

There was no way, in just a dozen days, under Zhu Gaoxian's order, Jin Yiwei investigated and handled more than a dozen cases of corrupt officials in a row, and even a servant of his ministry was taken away and imprisoned in prison.

And the vast majority of these dozen officials are civilian henchmen of his department.

"Boss, this prince is really a bit excessive!"

"Lord Fei has always been upright, but he was even beaten into the ranks of corrupt officials, not only raided his home, but also beheaded Lord Fei to show the public!"

"Now the people in the DPRK are panicking, and they are afraid that they will be caught by those brocade guards, and many officials below have already thrown themselves to Xia Yuanji's side."

"Lord Tianguan, this matter really has to be managed, now Your Majesty is seriously ill and does not care, this prince is young and vigorous, let him continue to do nonsense like this, how can he get it!"

Everyone gathered around Wang Zhi, and they persuaded me every word, on the one hand, they were frightened by Zhu Gaoxian's ruthless methods, and on the other hand, they were also very dissatisfied with Zhu Gaoxian's current behavior.

Scholars, scholars, they are talking about these court officials, your prince casually found a reason to beat so many officials as corrupt, and beheaded and confiscated their homes at every turn, so that these people who are used to being pampered, how can they bear it?

Wang rubbed the teacup in his hand with an expressionless face, and after a long time, he said in a hoarse voice:

"Don't rush."

"Since the prince has decided to personally lead the troops to the battle, now is the time when the momentum is at its peak, and it is unreasonable to prepare military funds, so we will avoid the edge a little."

"After he goes on the expedition, there will be no time to take care of the affairs of the DPRK and China, and at that time, we will let him vomit as much as he eats!"

"Yang Rong and them, they are just dry bones in the grave, it is difficult to do anything, you don't have to be in a hurry to get angry, you will naturally see you in the future."

Seeing that the crowd seemed to be about to speak, Wang Zhi waved his hand and stopped them.

"The old man said, this prince's position is not so easy to do."

"Does he think that with a little military merit and the help of the cabinet, he can do whatever he wants?"

"Since ancient times, how can the struggle for the throne be so easy? Although the King of Han was exiled to the northwest by him, he also has a certain strength at present, and the rest of the princes are not without the power to compete. ”

"Does he really think that the crown prince under his ass is so secure? At such a time, it is not good to appease us and others, but they want to run out and fight with some Tatars. ”

"Hmph," Wang Zhi sneered and shook his head. "Wait and see, the best is yet to come."

Seeing that Wang Zhidu said this, everyone put their hearts back in their stomachs.

As the cronies of Wang Zhiyi's family, they also know that now is the most critical moment for the East Palace family.

Either the crown prince ascended to the throne by virtue of his military merits, succeeded him to the throne, and then began to slowly clean up these people.

Either they overthrew the crown prince and supported another prince to ascend to the throne, and from then on, the mountains and rivers will be long, and they will always enjoy wealth and glory.

After all, the crown prince has always behaved very dissatisfied, and they are very dissatisfied with these officials with a big family background and huge wealth.

It can be seen from the last time the prince went to Jiangnan that he seems to have a strong "malice" towards the scholars and doctors in the world and the big families.

Since this is the case, then they have to try their best to have a fight with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
