As the sun sets, the sun shines like broken gold in the city of Beijing.

In the southeast corner of the splendid Forbidden City is Xiao Yongfang, a well-known and wealthy area in Beijing, where people who can live are either rich or expensive.

It's just that today it is particularly lively here, first there is a boy who does not know the height of the sky and the height of the earth with a house slave to make trouble, and then they were called back by their elders.

Wanfu, the largest courtyard.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

A leather whip hunted in mid-air, and when it was thrown on the middle-aged man lying on the bench, the white skin immediately left a shocking whip mark.

The elderly Wan An sat on the Taishi's chair to personally supervise, and when he saw that his second son's back was scarred, he was holding on to crutches and said with a calm face: "Fight again!" ”

Syllable!

The butler raised the leather whip in his hand and slammed it down on the bloodstained back, causing the scales lying on the bench to scream.

"Dad, why don't you forget it?" Wan Yi saw his younger brother in such a miserable situation, and stepped forward and couldn't bear to plead.

The anger on Wan An's face did not decrease, but he hated and pounded his crutches and said, "Count? This muddy boy actually wants to openly disobey the emperor's will, this is to bring disaster to the Wanjia family, and then fight! ”

Because he has been an official in the capital for decades, the protégés below always like to honor themselves, so they have a little "savings" in the capital.

After having money and silver, it is natural that he still wants to "make money with money", so most of the money and silver in the family are taken care of by the second son, and the second son naturally inevitably enters the most profitable lending business.

It's just that today he learned that the shop run by their 10,000 families was raided by the people of the Shuntian Mansion, and his second son didn't understand the whole story at all, so he gathered all the family members to prepare to teach the Shuntian Mansion officials who seized the shop a lesson.

Fortunately, he came back in time today, if his second son really beat the government of Shuntian Mansion, then this second son would definitely bring a monstrous disaster to the family.

"Dad, I don't dare, I don't dare anymore, I thought it was done by Shuntianfu, who knows that it was the emperor's will, you will spare the child this time!" After taking another whip, Wan Liang continued to beg for mercy while crying.

A similar situation occurred in other official residences, where the important ministers were teaching their own unscrupulous children and grandchildren with their own hands.

"Hit!"

Li Yu, the secretary of the ministry, thought that it had nothing to do with his family, but the situation was not like this at all, and his son had already partnered with others, so he immediately gritted his teeth viciously.

"Hit!"

He Qiaoxin realized that if he didn't change, then the position of the secretary of the criminal department would come to an end, and he decided to do it to his son.

Perhaps in the entire elite circle in the capital, other forces want to prevent Zhu Youzhi from rectifying finance, but the civil official group headed by Wan An has already chosen to support it.

Not to mention that Zhu Youji's approach is not inappropriate, if he goes against the emperor's will for this profit, then he will lose his position!

The trees want to be quiet, and the wind does not stop.

A total of 100 shops in Beijing City have been closed down, and the people involved are already in all aspects, and most of the powerful people are directly or indirectly related to the pawnshops and money houses that have been seized.

Although Zhu Youji's original intention was only to investigate and control, after all, there was no explicit posting, and no one could guarantee that Zhu Youzhu would suddenly change his mind and embezzle their money.

In the evening, a few people who liked to wear black robes gathered in that secret house.

"The emperor is really floating, dare to do this kind of thing!"

"It's not just floating, it's just killing yourself, how many people have you offended?"

"Huh...... Let's add another fire to him, only chaos is the best chance! ”

……

Ma Wensheng and other old men gathered in the living room, after the defeat of the case of the Marquis of Huichang and the defeat of Zhu Ji, this time was actually not easy, but now it finally ushered in the dawn.

Private lending lasted for 2,000 years, the Yuan Dynasty pushed to the peak, and now the Ming Dynasty has created a new way to play Beijing debt, which can be said to be involved in most of the elites.

The emperor suddenly seized the 100 largest pawnshops and money houses, although he pinched everyone's biggest economic lifeline in one fell swoop, but also offended all the magnates.

"Brother Ma, who are we going to trouble now?" The old man knew that Ma Wensheng had already made up his mind, so he asked curiously.

Ma Wensheng took a sip of the teacup, and said with Zhizhu in his hand: "We are not sending anyone to make trouble, but to encourage someone to make trouble, this matter can't be committed by us personally charging into battle!" ”

There are too many people implicated this time, and now Zhu Youji's seizure has aroused the righteous indignation of the entire elite circle, and now they only need to fan the flames.

"Great goodness!" Several other old men saw that Ma Wensheng was in his hands, and when they knew that there was no need to worry about this kind of thing, they immediately showed a gloating smile and said.

In fact, they are the biggest victims, because they have always been rooted in Beijing, so they have become one of the largest lenders of private lending. Now that Zhu Youzhu has suddenly sealed it, it is simply a blow to them.

It's just that fortunately, Zhu Youzhu didn't come at them, but slashed the butcher's knife at the entire elite class.

If they handle it properly this time, not only will they not cause any losses, but they can also take the opportunity to cause a big problem for this emperor.

As night falls, a semicircular moon hangs in the night sky.

The Qianqing Palace is already brightly lit, and this wide courtyard shows the royal atmosphere, and the eunuchs and small palace maids who walk through it seem to walk in a regular manner.

There are not many people here, but it is surprisingly quiet.

After taking a bath, Zhu Youzhu came to the Dongnuan Pavilion as usual, sat at the large desk and flipped through the information from the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and learned about the dynamics in all parts of the country.

In particular, Liu Zhong just sent a letter of guilt, the reason is that his subordinates received money and actually made hands and feet in the measuring tool, which caused the measurement of the entire county to be deviated, but it was necessary to overturn it and start over.

Although the affairs of the capital need to be taken care of, the affairs of the whole country should not be taken lightly, and it is not easy to be a responsible emperor.

Ahh......h

Zhu Youji's nostrils were slightly itchy, and he sneezed loudly, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

After all, he was still affected by today's events, and the whole person was a little uneasy, and even had a strong uneasiness.

He knew that today's steps were a bit big, and if he touched the biggest cake of the entire elite class at once, he would definitely become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of some people.

It's just that whether it is for the sake of the entire Chinese nation, or for the thousands of desperate and simple people like Yu Ming, he has the obligation to cut the knife to the private loans.

As for whether he will completely stand on the opposite side of the elite class, it depends on how the elite class chooses, whether it obeys its own financial control or is an enemy of itself everywhere.

After all, he is the tyrant Hongzhi who wants to really do things for China, not the Mingjun Hongzhi who shares the blessings of peace with the scholars.

No matter how many powerful people finally jump out, he always firmly believes in evil and not in righteousness, and Huaxia needs to hold up a banner of justice to move forward.

Before you know it, the night is getting deeper.

Empress Chang came with several beautiful palace maids, and the whole person became more and more rich and feminine, and the most rare thing was her noble queen temperament.

Niu Mengmeng is guarding the lights, holding the flower cat here tonight, and seeing the queen who came in, she will greet her.

"Your Majesty, do you have something on your mind today?" When Empress Chang saw Zhu Youzhi's frowning appearance, she stepped forward to ask very gently.

Zhu Youzhu looked up and saw Empress Chang with outstanding temperament, and since the affairs had been dealt with, he patted the position next to him: "Sit down next to me!" ”

Queen Chang was a little unable to wipe off her face at the beginning, but compared to maintaining the queen's reserve, she was more willing to be a loving couple with Zhu Youji.

Zhu Youzhu smelled the familiar milk fragrance of Empress Chang, looked at the more majestic woman in front of her, and once suspected that she had secretly arrived in South Korea, so now she also hopes to draw this woman to sleep.

The greatest benefit of the emperor is probably this, the beauties selected from all over the country, each of them is a first-class beauty, but each of the great beauties has its own characteristics.

"Your Majesty, this is a ginseng soup made by a concubine, which is quite beneficial to the body!" Empress Chang came prepared tonight and gave the accompanying palace maid a look.

The emperor naturally has a poison test link when he eats food, even if it is something sent by the empress.

A palace maid beside Zhu Youzhi specially tested poison, and an older palace maid served a bowl of ginseng soup, and then scooped up a small bowl with slag for the palace maid to try.

Niu Mengmeng watched from the sidelines, and just now his nose smelled the aroma of ginseng soup, and he swallowed and foamed cutely. In fact, she also wanted to be a palace maid for drug testing, but the emperor didn't allow it.

"Your Majesty, enjoy!" Empress Chang personally sent the ginseng soup over, which seemed to be attentive and authentic.

Zhu Youzhi knew that the ginseng of this era was a real wild ginseng of hundreds of years, and the effect was many times stronger than the medicines of later generations, and he knew that tonight was destined to be a night of great strength.

Empress Chang got a trick from Pan Jinling, and when Zhu Youji's eyes looked over, she immediately made a big red face.

Zhu Youzhu soon began to taste the ginseng soup, and found that the taste of this ginseng soup was very unique, and there was a feeling that the more he drank it, the more addictive he became. It's just that these are hundreds of years of ginseng, and if it weren't for the emperor, it really wouldn't be able to enjoy it often.

When Queen Chang had just boiled it, she tried some of them herself, and her body was a little hot at the moment.

Zhu Youzhu knew that it would take a process for the ginseng soup to warm up the body, but he suddenly reminded seriously: "Queen, I'm afraid we will have to pay more attention to what we eat in the future!" ”

"Why is that?" Empress Chang couldn't care less about being shy, and suddenly asked puzzled.

Zhu Youzhu looked at the information about today's magnates on the table, and couldn't help but say bitterly: "If I do this today, there will be more and more rats in the house!" ”

Although he is the sacrosanct emperor of this era, this identity can deter the honest people, but those fierce magnates don't believe in this set at all.

Niu Mengmeng was about to leave with the little flower cat in her arms, and when she heard this, she stopped and said seriously: "Your Majesty, Xiaohua has just given birth to seven little babies, and when the kitten is older, she can help catch mice!" ”

"Don't interject, it's just a bull's head and a horse's mouth!" Zhu Youzhu didn't bother to explain, so he waved his hand and sent Niu Mengmeng away.

Niu Meng stuck out his tongue, although he didn't know what was wrong with him, so he hugged the cat and prepared to leave quickly.

"Wait!" A flash of light suddenly flashed in Zhu Youji's mind, and he called Niu Mengmeng.

"Your Majesty, the slave should not have stuck out her tongue just now, and please forgive the slave!" Niu Mengmeng realized that he had made a mistake, and immediately knelt down nervously.

The current emperor is already an emperor with both grace and power, although he was beaten in the mouth when he defended the emperor's imperial authority, but it is far from his own favored and proud capital.

In addition, this emperor is becoming more and more domineering, no matter which lady sleeps, he will be helped to leave the next day, and he still says something that the emperor is so powerful that people can't understand it.

Zhu Youzhu didn't expect the other party to stick out his tongue, but said lightly: "You pick the strongest kitten and raise it and name it Xiaohu!" Now there are indeed more mice in the house, and I want to raise a cat myself! ”

"Slave obeys!" Niu Mengmeng sighed secretly, and immediately behaved properly.

Since it was already dark outside, the lights of the East Warm Pavilion appeared even brighter, and it was as bright as day, and at the same time, this light added a charm.

"The concubine will pay more attention to her diet in the future!" Empress Chang is a smart woman who has known the thrills of the palace since she was a child, so she nodded seriously.

Zhu Youzhu found that under the illumination of this orange light, Empress Chang's skin looked more tempting, but he touched her delicate face: "I will leave for Tianshou Mountain tomorrow, and the harem will be under your care!" ”

"The concubines will take care of the harem, and they will definitely not let Your Majesty share their worries!" A hint of loss flashed in Empress Chang's eyes, and she seemed to be seriously reassured.

Since she has no heirs now, she can't go to the spring festival this time, so she can only blame herself for not being strong enough.

Zhu Youzhu also had a headache in the face of the problem of the heir, and when the heat wave began to surge in the lower abdomen, he said impatiently: "Let's rest early tonight!" ”

"Your Majesty......"

"Huh?"

"I heard from the master, here is the Yi Shenglong species, and it will be here tonight, right?"

……

Liu Jin is a very discerning person, and sent the palace maid and eunuch away as soon as possible, and only Zhu Youzhu and Empress Chang were left in the brightly lit Dongnuan Pavilion.

Under this pale yellow light, Empress Chang's skin appeared more radiant.

Whoa......

The utensils and notes on the desk were all swept away by brute force, as if they were the catchy notes of the prelude.

Empress Chang knows what her biggest advantage is, but her reserve as a woman makes her ashamed.

Zhu Youji's passion was completely ignited by the old ginseng, and he no longer thought about the matter of the heir at the moment, and Queen Chang also stared at Zhu Youji.

The female official at the palace gate squatted in the corner of the wall and wrote down carefully: "The emperor will sacrifice tomorrow's spring, and then ask for joy in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and the emperor and queen are all sweating, not only seeking heirs, but also Luan Feng and Ming." ”

Happiness is always short-lived, and emperors also have moments when they can't help themselves.

Compared to autumn festivals, spring festivals are almost indispensable. Unless the land of Gyeonggi becomes unsafe, the emperor will have to go to Cheonju Mountain to worship in a proper manner.

As usual last year, a mighty procession came out of the Fucheng Gate of the West Gate, and a team of nearly 10,000 people surrounded a Jinlu Palace car and headed towards Tianshou Mountain.

It's just that Zhu Youzhi just left the capital with his front foot, and things are out of control.

The seized shop was not a weak shop that could deceive the people, but a shop of the entire elite class. Everyone here is amazing, many of them have a great ancestor, and they even have a certain amount of military power.

Zhou Jing, the concubine, was already holding his stomach and led a group of people to his shop: "Come on, take out the kiln silver from the store!" If anyone dares to stop it, they will beat the horse hard, and the horse will be responsible for the accident! ”
