Chapter 404: Regret and the Second Plan

West Garden, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Zhu Youzhi summoned Wu Yu, the right attendant of the household department, and listened to the price of rice in the capital today, his face couldn't help but become heavy, and he was even faintly angry.

"According to Your Majesty's orders, the minister has recorded all the rice dealers who took the opportunity to raise the price of rice!"

Although Wu Yu was born in a wealthy family, he has always had compassion for the people in his heart, and now he is a glorious imperial party, and he seems to be murderous.

They thought that the royal rice bank had accumulated so much rice that the powerful people should stop it, but they dared to mobilize more funds to buy the royal rice store short.

Now that they have lost the restraint of royal rice, they have revealed their greedy nature, and even pushed the price of rice in the capital directly to the sky, so that the people in the capital have to eat high-priced rice.

Zhu Youzhu tapped on the handle of the dragon chair, but he thought that the time was not yet ripe: "You continue to investigate secretly, and you must investigate all illegal businessmen clearly!" ”

"Command!" Wu Yu knew that the emperor was far more stable than ordinary people, and immediately saluted in a proper manner.

Zhu Youzhu knew that the rice and grain matter had to be solved, so he seriously advised: "Now the time is almost up, you can contact Wei Jia today!" ”

"Command!" Wu Yu was secretly happy in his heart, and he saluted in a proper manner.

Zhu Youzhu picked up the teacup sent by Liu Jin, and threw a question to this capable general: "Wu Qing, when Li Shangshu left, he highly respected you, thinking that your talent was not below him!" If this is done, you will also be considered a great achievement, I wonder if you want to stay in the position of the left squire of the household department, or do you want to be the governor of the local area now? ”

He will not be stingy with rewards for those who have made meritorious contributions. It's just that the road to the promotion of the squire to the Shangshu was cut off by himself, and now the six squires want to reach the six Shangshu, and they still have to be appointed as the local governor for the transition.

Only the governor who can do a good job in the local area will have the opportunity to return to the capital to serve as the six scholars, or the next stop may be to the Nanjing nursing home.

"Sincerely loved by Your Majesty, the ministers are grateful! However, there are traitors hidden in the court today, and there are evil rumors about the king of Xing in Beijing, and the number of people gathering in the king's mansion is increasing day by day. The minister begged His Majesty to keep the minister in the court, although the minister was short-witted, but his loyalty could shine on the sun and the moon. And today, the sun is prosperous, only the monarch's father is unharmed, and China is prosperous forever! Wu Yu knew that the local governor was one step away from the six Shangshu, but he still showed that his heart was authentic.

Although he did not think that the conspirators were the opponents of the great emperor, those people did exist, and he would not be safe to leave.

What's more, there are advantages and disadvantages for the local governor and the left servant of the household department, and if you step too fast, it is not necessarily a good thing.

Now staying in the position of the left squire of the household department, he can not only accumulate his qualifications, but also deepen his financial management ability, and most importantly, get closer to this wise emperor.

Hey?

Liu Jin, who had just returned from delivering tea, couldn't help but glance at this chubby household servant, this should be a loyal minister.

Zhu Youzhu felt Wu Yu's loyalty, so he took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Those people can't set off the wind and waves!" It's just that it's better for you to stay in Beijing, and now the new currency implementation of the household department needs talents like you, so let's stay in the position of the left waiter of the household department for a year or two! As long as you can do a good job, I will not treat you badly! ”

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations!" Wu Yu knew that the emperor's rewards and punishments in front of him were clear, and he solemnly stated his position again.

Zhu Youzhu sent Wu Yu away, and finally set his eyes on the holy decree drawn up by the cabinet just now, so he grabbed the jade seal and used the seal on it himself: "Send it to the Criminal Department immediately!" ”

He knew that this decree meant that blood was about to be shed, and that his name as a tyrant seemed to be on the verge of being confirmed.

Zhu Youji's earliest plan was indeed to rob his relatives and cut off his beard and marry Jiang Yan to the palace, which could not only prevent the son of luck from appearing, but also make the son of luck call him his father.

In order to prevent the Jiang family from accepting King Xing's dowry, his original plan was to investigate the Jiang family's crimes, so as to threaten the Jiang family to side with him.

It's just that I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it.

In the early days of Camp S.H.I.E.L.D., he went to the barracks on a whim to inspect it, only to be stabbed on the school grounds.

At the beginning, thanks to Song Chengshun's touch, he finally found the head of Lin Guodong, the commander of the Guoyong Battalion, but Lin Guodong did not speak, and it became an unsolved case.

Zhu Youzhi knew that Lin Guodong was a pawn, and the people behind the scenes may have the intention of assassinating him, but it is more likely that he still wants to prevent himself from growing his strength.

Although Lin Guodong never confessed to the mastermind behind the scenes, he never gave up the investigation. Especially in secret, an investigation department for unsolved cases was secretly established, even if the case of Wynn being poisoned in the North Town Fusi was among them.

Originally, the case of Lin Guodong's assassination has been in a state of stagnation, but time can restore some truths, and some cases may be solved at some moment.

Qin Conggui's Dongchang appeared to be more capable, but when he thoroughly investigated the Jiang family, he found that Jiang Bin and Lin Guodong belonged to the same senior generals of the Guoyong Battalion, and Jiang Bin actually participated in the assassination back then.

Zhu Youzhu can tolerate a little petty evil, but he can't tolerate this kind of stabbing behavior at all.

On the day of King Xing's appointment, how could he not be able to restrain the powerless eldest princess, and he was even ready to threaten the eldest princess's sons.

It was only after learning of the Jiang family's crime that he finally chose to give up the first plan.

Since the Jiang family chose to stand with King Xing, and they themselves are core members of the anti-imperialist alliance, what reason do they have to be soft-hearted?

It is precisely in this kind of coincidence that the second set of solutions can only be used to deal with this matter, choosing to erase the eggs of the family.

Forbidden City, Qingning Palace.

King Xing's wedding, this is very exciting news.

Concubine Shao has applied to leave the palace to go to Xingwangfu, although the concubine is very sensitive to leaving the palace, but today is her son's big day, and there is indeed a reason to go out of the palace.

Empress Dowager Zhou is in a good mood today, but her identity is here, no matter how much she supports King Xing, it is inconvenient to go to King Xing's mansion.

"When the marriage is over, let them come in and greet the Queen Mother!"

Concubine Shao naturally knew that she could not move the Empress Dowager, but she also tried to win over the Empress Dowager Zhou for her son.

Now that Zhu Youzhu has broken with the Empress Dowager Zhou, as long as they maintain enough filial piety to the Empress Dowager Zhou, the Empress Dowager Zhou will definitely support the most obedient grandson.

"Something's wrong!"

Just as Concubine Shao was about to leave, a eunuch hurriedly came in.

Empress Dowager Zhou's eyes flashed with displeasure, and she looked very calm and picked up the teacup: "What happened?" ”

"Empress Dowager Qiyu, news has just come from outside the palace: Sun Mansion has been sealed by the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department, and the sedan chair can't come out!" The eunuch realized that he had been reckless, so he swallowed his saliva and said carefully.

Empress Dowager Zhou stopped the teacup brought to her mouth, and immediately glared at her eyes and scolded angrily: "Is Zhu Youzhu crazy? ”

This......

The palace people present looked at each other, and the Empress Dowager Zhou even shouted out the emperor's name.

"Why is the Emperor like this? Xingwang ...... King Xing's marriage contract with the Jiang family was in advance, and he ...... Isn't he afraid of the ridicule of the world when he does this? Concubine Shao was also panicked, and said in shock.

"I heard that it was the head of the Jiang family who assisted Lin Guodong in assassinating His Majesty, and the case has been jointly investigated by the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Shuntian Mansion!" The eunuch bitterly told the reason for the incident.

In fact, at first, he also thought that the emperor was crazy, but after learning the reason for the incident, he knew that the Jiang family was to blame for all this. What kind of crime is not good, it turned out to be the crime of the Zhujiu clan who assassinated the emperor.

Concubine Shao knew that once the case was confirmed, not only would the Jiang family suffer directly, but her son would also be negatively affected, so she immediately asked the Empress Dowager Zhou for help: "Empress Dowager, what is going on now?" ”

"Didn't you say that the Jiang family is a good family?" Empress Dowager Zhou didn't expect that the marriage contract she stood up to support would become a joke, and she also blamed Concubine Shao.

Although it is not as good as the emperor's election, the position of Princess Xing is also very attractive, and the marriageable women in the entire North Zhili can be said to be chosen at will.

For more than half a year, Concubine Shao has been comparing repeatedly, and as a result, one out of 100,000 miles can even pick out the Jiang family who participated in the assassination of the current emperor.

"I ......" Where did Concubine Shao know that the Jiang family was hiding such a great evil, and she immediately said in a speech.

The Empress Dowager Zhou knew that she had endured it for several years, but it was a dou who stood up to support her, and suddenly spit out a word in her original form: "Get out!" ”

Although she had already seen through Concubine Shao's careful thoughts, she wanted to fill the emptiness in her heart through filial piety, but she didn't need these things at all.

What really impressed him was that King Xing was able to replace Zhu Youji, but he completely overestimated King Xing, and it was more likely that Zhu Youzhu did not participate seriously at all.

Concubine Shao's face turned pale with fright, and she could only leave in a gloomy manner, but she didn't understand why the obviously good situation suddenly changed 180 degrees.

Jiang's Mansion is simply a double heaven of joy and sorrow.

Just now it was a very festive scene of sending a daughter to get married, but with the blockade of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and other personnel, it was suddenly like a funeral.

Jiang Bin has almost forgotten about this lawlessness, and now he is suddenly uncovered by several big people, but he knows that he can't escape a big reckoning after all.

"We are willing to marry a daughter, and please forgive us!"

"We chose the emperor, our Jiang family really knew that it was wrong!"

"Our women are chosen by the emperor, please spare your life!"

……

The Jiang clansmen, who were still calling the head of the family wise, saw the catastrophe coming, but at this moment they hated Jiang Bin in their hearts, and at the same time changed their attitudes.

Perhaps to prove the saying, only when you lose can you know how to cherish it.

If they let Jiang Yan enter the harem, even if they get a little favor from the emperor, they may also save the Jiang family from this catastrophe. It's just that they actually gave up the opportunity for Jiang Yan to become the imperial concubine, and chased Princess Qixing instead.

Now they have made a marriage contract with King Xing, but the price is that their nine Jiang clans are connected, and the lives of hundreds of their Jiang clan pay for this mistake.

"Zhen Liaobo, please! I really know it's wrong, I'm willing to send my daughter to the palace, and I ask Your Majesty to let us Jiang clan go! ”

Jiang Yi thought of his own life or the lives of other children, and immediately felt extremely remorseful, and immediately knelt and begged the Iron Elephant Mountain Road that had released kindness to them.

Song Cheng and the others turned their heads to look at Tiexiang Mountain, but they knew that Tiexiang Mountain had a certain weight in the emperor's heart.

Tie Xiangshan was still sitting on the horse, looking at the door of the Jiang Mansion, which once made him feel unattainable, and said: "Ben Bo is indeed from a puppet background, unlike your Jiang family's children who have been able to study since childhood and have learned the art of war. It's just that even if Ben Bo comes from a humble background, he also understands the greatest truth of the Great Emperor of Heaven and Earth! Today, it is not the emperor who wants to destroy your Jiang family, but your Jiang family is to blame. In the future, whoever dares to touch the emperor will be crushed even if my Tiexiang Mountain is shattered, and I will slaughter his entire family and clan! ”

In the end, there was a thick murderous intent exuded from his body.

In fact, many people think that they are loyal to the emperor because they have been knighted from the bottom of the ranks, but they don't know that they have been loyal to the emperor since they were children, and they decided to die when they saw the emperor for the first time.

What he felt most over the years was the emperor's attention to the soldiers, not only giving them good treatment, but also giving them the best weapons in the world.

His ability to make meritorious contributions is certainly the result of their undaunted death, but in fact, it is inseparable from the support of the emperor, and even more inseparable from the emperor's eloquence.

Although the ancestors of the Jiang family did care for his ancestors of the Tie family, his Tie family also repaid with his life, and now the Jiang family is guilty of rebellion, let alone intercede for them, and now he can't wait to slaughter the door with his own hands.

This......

Jiang Yi shuddered all over his body, but he looked at the killing god in front of him with great fear.

Liu Zhong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, appeared on horseback, and also unfolded the holy decree of Ming Huang to read out the crimes of the Jiang family: "At the will of Your Majesty, after the investigation of the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Shuntian Mansion, Jiang Bin confirmed that he assisted Lin Guodong in committing illegal things in the assassination of the emperor by Lin Guodong...... Jiang Bin Ling Chi is here today, and the nine clans are connected, and this is admired! ”

With the recitation of this holy decree, the execution of the nine clans of the family was carried out.

All the people related to Jiang Bin here can't come out again, and although Jiang Yan is about to marry and become Princess Xing, she is still Jiang Bin's niece after all.

Woo......

Jiang Yan didn't need to pinch her thigh meat at this moment, and finally cried in the sedan chair as she wanted.

What a wickedness!

Mother Jiang sat on the ground, hating her choice, beating her chest like a shrew.

When faced with the choice, she was also a member of the support for King Xing.

It was only at this moment that she realized how stupid she was. No matter how good King Xing's reputation is, it is only a prince, and no matter how bad the emperor's reputation is, he is a high son of heaven.

Fortunately, now they accepted King Xing's dowry wisely, but the price was that their entire Jiang clan was wiped out, and their daughter was beheaded.

For a while, the men and women in Jiang's house seemed to be in apocalypse, but they cried, causing people who didn't know the truth to mistakenly think that the Jiang family was haunted.

Wangfu Street, Xingwangfu.

The first thing to spread here was actually the bad news of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, after all, it was the closest, and Zhou Zhong of the Eldest Princess's Mansion was arrested by Jinyiwei.

Although the eldest princess felt the horror of the imperial power, she still came to King Xing with the last glimmer of hope and said: "King Xing save me, please save my son Zhou Zhong!" ”

This......

Xiangcheng Hou Li Jin and others already knew the ins and outs of the matter, but they looked at each other.

If it is other crimes, there may be room for maneuver, but Zhou Jing openly wanted to murder the imperial court officials, and he disobeyed the imperial court's decree first, which is already an ironclad fact.

At the beginning, the emperor did not go on a killing spree, but he really showed affection to the eldest princess, and he can be regarded as a benevolent monarch. It's just that the eldest princess has waded into this troubled water, and now the emperor wants to bring up the old things again, who can stop them?

If you really want to blame, you can only blame the eldest princess for not provoking the emperor, thus bringing a catastrophe to her son.

"This matter has to be considered in the long run!"

"Yes, you need to calm down in case of big things!"

"It's not appropriate for King Xing to come forward in this matter, let's wait until the end of the worship hall to discuss it!"

……

Xiangcheng Hou Li Jin and others naturally did not say what was in their hearts, but started Tai Chi one after another.

It's just that it's time to come after all, and a guard who has just returned from the Jiang family said: "His Royal Highness King Xing, the Jiang family has been raided!" Because Jiang Bin participated in Lin Guodong's assassination that year, the emperor ordered the nine clans! (End of chapter)
