Chapter 471: Zhu Gaoxian: The Ming Dynasty is my world!
Hearing Kong Yanjin's words, Kong Chengwu was suddenly shocked in his heart.
As the person who handled it before, of course he knew what those big families were secretly plotting, and although the Kong family was also involved before, it was at most a fairly minor crime.
But if you still contact those families now, it is equivalent to being deeply involved in them, which is a great crime of rebellion!
Under the new emperor's bad attitude towards the Confucian Mansion, if he participates in this rebellious crime of beheading and robbing the family, once the defeat is revealed, won't the Confucian Mansion be completely finished?
How unwise is this the head of the house?
He just wanted to speak, but as soon as he raised his head, he found that Kong Yanjin in front of him had blood-red eyes and a fierce face, which was very different from his usual appearance, and he was suddenly awe-inspired, knowing that he was already extremely angry as the head of the family.
Now is definitely not a good time to advise, Kong Chengwu had no choice but to respond, and turned around to gather people, while turning his mind:
"Even the prefect of Yanzhou can see it clearly, how can the head of his own family be so unwise?"
"Those big families rebelled, and the Confucian Mansion could have watched from the wall, and there was no need to defile their hands in person, but if they contacted that family now, it would be difficult to say anything in the future......"
He had seen the majesty and strength of the elite soldiers of the three major battalions, and he was very touched by this, and he did not think that these great families in the north could really shake the rule of the new emperor.
"No, I have to think of a way, otherwise if the Confucian Mansion falls in the future, I will definitely be implicated, isn't it a dead end?"
……
When he received the news from Jinyiwei, Zhu Gaoxian was in the imperial study, discussing with Yang Rong, Xia Yuanji, Su Wu and others about the next disposal plan for the Mobei grassland.
Because the immigration rule plan costs an extremely large amount of money, although Zhu Gaoxian is extremely sure, he has always been very cautious, and after discussing with Xia Yuanji and others for a long time, he is almost word-for-word in agreeing on his views.
And at this moment, Shen Qingyu came with the news, which made Zhu Gaoxian come back to his senses a little and relax a little.
After he read the secret fold, he handed it to Yang Rong, and then said to Xia Yuanji with a smile:
"Xia Qing, said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, aren't you worried that there is not enough money and food in the treasury, isn't this someone personally sent to the door."
Xia Yuanji took the secret fold from Yang Rong's hand, and after squinting his eyes and reading it, he opened his mouth to admonish:
"Your Majesty, now that you have ascended the throne, you should act with dignity and integrity, and you should not design your courtiers like this......"
Xia Yuanji, as his confidant and dean of the Academy of Literature, although he is loyal to Zhu Gaoxian, he still hopes in his bones that Zhu Gaoxian can be a domineering and benevolent emperor, acting in a royal way, and it is best not to deviate from the yin and selfish aspects.
For example, in his opinion, this matter is inevitably a little unatmospheric, how can you, Zhu Gaoxian, as an emperor who has made a difference, always think about the family property of the courtiers below......
Zhu Gaoxian also guessed his thoughts, and immediately laughed:
"Xia Qing is too worried."
"How could I do such a dirty thing?"
"As long as they abide by the law, abide by the laws of the imperial court, and take care of their families with peace of mind, how can I do anything to them?"
"If you want to blame, you can only blame them for their own bad intentions!"
At this time, Yang Rong also smiled and said:
"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, has the court treated them harshly? It's not that these people are not greedy enough and try to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, but they are just seeking their own death. ”
"They also chose to destroy their own families, and they can't complain about others."
Su Wu, as the commander of the capital and the general in the army, has never been involved in this kind of thing, so he just listened silently and did not say a word.
However, he is also secretly thinking in his heart, these big families in the north, I heard that they are all very rich, as for the Qufu Kong family, it is a famous big landlord and big family in the north and even in the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is rich and rivals the country after more than ten generations of savings.
If you can copy the old background of these people this time, then the imperial court will really gain a lot for a while, and there will be a lot of work on hand......
Zhu Gaoxian thought for a while, and then asked Shen Qingyu:
"It is said that those big families are hiding soldiers in Wu Fort, and there are countless weapons and money, how is the situation of the investigation?"
Shen Qingyu replied respectfully:
"Your Majesty, in the area of Baoding, Hejian, and Cangzhou, out of the Fucheng, there are indeed crowds in the countryside, but there is no Wu Fort, at most it can only be regarded as a waizi, and then go to the northwest and south, Dongchang, Daimyo, and Zezhou, according to the reports of the spies, it is true."
"The 10,000 soldiers and horses transferred from Jizhou and Yongping have arrived in Hejian, just waiting for Your Majesty's order."
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxian stood up with a calm face:
"Since ancient times, the Lord cannot be angry and raise a division, and he will not be discouraged and cause war."
"Move in line with the profit, stop if it is not in the interest."
"Now that those major families have begun to launch, and the Kong family has also taken action, then I will directly issue an order, dignified, so that they have nothing to say."
He paced around the imperial study for a few laps, thought for a long time, and then resolutely ordered:
"Su Wu!"
"The minister is here!"
"You lead five military camps and one guard, rush to the river, personally command, and be sure to wipe out these traitors and bulldoze them in one fell swoop!"
"Obey the order!"
Then Zhu Gaoxian turned his head to look at Shen Qingyu:
"You also set off with Su Wu and go all out to launch the Jinyi Guard, on the one hand, you must suppress the Northland, avoid rumors, and stabilize the people's hearts, on the other hand, if you encounter uncooperative officials, or those who secretly obstruct you, you Jinyi Wei will come forward and take them down!"
"I understand! Your Majesty, please rest assured! ”
After instructing the two of them, Zhu Gaoxian turned to Yang Rong and Xia Yuanji:
"The affairs of the government and politics are going to trouble the two of you."
"In the six departments, five temples, two halls and thirteen divisions, it is necessary to pacify and stabilize the situation in the court."
"At the same time, the local government was ordered to cooperate with the army to begin to clear these thieves and confiscate their family property."
"Xia Shangshu, your household department has to work harder, and together with the criminal department, send people to come forward to do a good job of sealing and inventory, and the army and Jinyi Wei will cooperate with you."
"This kind of thing, only this once, there will be no next time, and there must be no mistakes in it......"
The two of them immediately understood, it was rare to seize a good opportunity to make a fortune by taking a good fortune, and the court happened to be extremely short of money, so it was no wonder that His Majesty would act so decisively.
In the future, it will definitely be impossible to raid homes on a large scale like this time, otherwise, who is not afraid between the government and the opposition?
Only this time, it happened that these companies fell into the net, which can be regarded as extremely lucky......
Zhu Gaoxian didn't care what they were thinking, but said lightly:
"My meaning is very clear, today's Ming Dynasty is my world!"
"Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish!" (End of chapter)
