As soon as these words came out, countless information came to the face in an instant, and there was a faint smell of conspiracy.

If Dongfang Dao's celestial prediction is accurate, as long as Zhu Youzhi abolishes the queen Chang Yourong and canonizes Zhang Yujiao, then he will be able to continue for a lifetime.

It's just that now that Zhang Yujiao is killed, then the possibility of Zhu Youji's continuation will be cut off, and King Xing will become the well-deserved heir to the first throne.

It is precisely because of this that when the news of Zhang Yujiao's death came, King Xing naturally became the first suspect, and Zhu Youji's situation would become worse.

Zhu Youzhu suddenly felt anger surging in his heart, and said coldly: "Is this still my palace?" ”

Because it is not dealing with the civilian clique, and now it is also cleaning up the Wuxun clique, and even the interests of noble groups such as relatives are touched, so they all pay great attention to personal safety.

Although he did not act rashly in the early days in order to play the role of a stupid prince, he has already cleaned the entire palace over and over again in recent years.

Even the Empress Dowager Zhou was only able to use a few henchmen and palace maids, and the rest of the personnel had already become one of her own controls.

It's just that now the death of Concubine Zhang Yujiao is not only an accident for her own dignified concubine, but also this palace doesn't seem to be as solid as she imagined.

"Your Majesty, the dragon body is important, please stop your anger!" Liu Jin and the others felt Zhu Youji's anger, and knelt down in unison.

Zhu Youzhi knew that incompetent rage could not solve any problems, so he calmed down: "Qin Conggui, what is going on in this matter, tell me in detail!" ”

Although Han Youying knew that the former crown princess had fallen out of favor, she also looked at Qin Conggui curiously when she learned that the dignified concubine had died inexplicably.

Zhang Yujiao asked to go to celebrate her birthday today because of her father Zhang Luan's birthday, so she went to Zhang's mansion early in the morning, but when she returned to Chengxi Palace, she suddenly died of eating.

Suddenly, there was a shocking case in the Imperial Palace, and the city of Beijing was also artificially panicked.

"According to the grapevine, the imperial court is going to stop the Tongzhou granary from delivering grain to the capital!"

"The Tongzhou granary is related to the stability of the country, so the royal rice store is not allowed to transport grain from the Tongzhou warehouse!"

"Only when you have food at home can you not panic! Don't be stunned, hurry up to the royal rice shop to grab food! ”

……

As the news spread that the imperial court had stopped the delivery of grain from Tongzhou Cang to Beijing, a large number of people flocked to the Royal Rice Shop, which put the Royal Rice Store under great pressure.

Fortunately, the rice mill of the Royal Rice House has recruited enough personnel, and now it is frantic in rice milling, but it has not been shocked and collapsed by this buying tide all at once.

"Everyone put a hundred hearts, the rice and grain of the royal rice store are enough, and the imperial court has not stopped the Tongzhou warehouse! If the rice grain at home can still be eaten for half a month, the shopkeeper suggests that it is better to come back later, this rice grain is easy to get insects if it is left at home for a long time! In the face of the people who were bewitched and came to grab rice, the money shopkeeper also seriously dissuaded.

Zhang Ying happened to come to deliver the cloth, and he also stood up to appease: "When did the royal rice store break its promise, now the rice grain has been sent from Tongzhou Cang, and it has not stopped until now. Even if a traitor stands up to stop it, our emperor is a rare emperor in a hundred years, he even resettles millions of victims in Henan, we are the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can we bear to let us eat rice that is more than ten times more expensive? ”

Maybe the money shopkeeper and Zhang Ying compared their hearts, maybe they had slowly calmed down, or maybe they trusted Emperor Hongzhi, and in the end, the vast majority of the people left silently.

As the pressure of sales subsided, the royal rice store was slowly back on track, and there was no longer a long queue at the door, so that the people in real need could eat affordable rice for the first time.

Of course, there is a hidden concern here, once the people of the capital can't eat Tongzhou rice, then they will indeed have to face the rice of the Xiangcheng Hou group that is more than ten times higher.

The panic outside was eased, but a tense atmosphere was permeating the palace.

"Your Majesty, the minister has verified that the pastries eaten by Concubine Shu have arsenic, and Concubine Shu died of arsenic poisoning!" After Li Fan's inspection, he gave a very positive answer.

Guo Yong is regarded as the existence of the general manager of the inner house, and when he saw the box of pastries, he said firmly: "Your Majesty, this box of pastries is not a palace thing, this is brought back from outside the palace!" ”

When Zhu Youzhu learned of the whole story, he immediately said with a cold face: "No matter who is found, I will never tolerate it, and I will conduct a thorough investigation!" ”

Although he doesn't love Concubine Shu at all, Concubine Shu is his concubine after all, and she is a woman who can clearly pass on future generations for herself.

Now that Concubine Shu was suddenly poisoned, whether it was for her own face or to punish this person who wanted to cut off her offspring, she had enough reasons to let him go to hell.

"Slave obeys!" Qin Conggui received Zhu Youji's instructions, and he also solemnly stated.

The night is deep, and the movement of the Qianqing Palace tonight is relatively large.

Zhu Youzhi originally planned to turn over the queen's brand tonight, but when he was having dinner, he still reached out and chose the brand of Fanjin.

Although he didn't believe that Empress Chang was the mastermind behind the scenes, and Empress Chang's earlier attitude should not be a temptation for herself, Empress Chang was still a potential beneficiary after all.

Zhu Youzhu knew that he should not suspect the well-informed Empress Chang, but as the supreme ruler of this empire, he was destined to keep an extra eye on everything.

After all, an emperor who keeps an eye on it usually lives longer and may be more nourished.

"Your Majesty, you're so powerful tonight!"

The golden bell on the bare feet of the golden bell was already bigger, so it was accompanied by a crisp sound every time, which inspired Zhu Youji's stronger desire to conquer.

Zhu Youzhu originally had a little selfishness, hoping that Empress Chang would give birth to her eldest son, so as to avoid potential disputes for the throne, but now it doesn't matter.

Now that Jiajing no longer exists, and Zhengde will no longer appear, Daming's luck has been completely changed by himself. Fan Jinling, Qingyue, Han Youying, Su Yun'er, Lin Qiqi, Yang Zisu, Yi Kexi and other women can only give birth to an heir.

In the end, in a sense of great pleasure, he gave all his hope to Fan Jinling.

Fan Jinling is well aware of her mission, but her temperament is relatively simple, and she does not have as many extravagant expectations as others.

As a palace maid, now that she has been canonized as a concubine, she has been extremely satisfied, so she has never deliberately thought about her son.

She was extremely happy at the moment, knowing that she had successfully stimulated Zhu Youji's madness again. Although she had already collapsed, she soon crawled towards Zhu Youzhi and happily snuggled up to Zhu Youji's side.

It seemed to be a roundworm in Zhu Youji's stomach, but he said softly: "Your Majesty, Sister Queen is not that kind of person, she hopes that Your Majesty will have a queen more than her concubines!" ”

"Don't guess! I believe her, but this matter is coming for me, and I need to face this matter calmly now! Zhu Youzhu gently hugged this considerate beauty, and also said what he thought in his heart.

Fan Jinling nodded lightly, and then said slyly: "Qingyue's monthly letter is here, so the concubine called you a new partner tonight, so you can relax!" ”

Zhu Youzhu didn't remember the date of Qingyue's monthly letter at all, but he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw a slender beauty walking in from outside the beaded curtain.

It's just that it seems to be reasonable, among so many concubines, although Fan Jinling is the one who can play tricks the most, but the northern concubine Yikexi is the real wild horse in Mongolia.

The next day, every eight mornings.

When Zhu Youzhu sat on the dragon chariot, he clearly felt the comfort of his legs, and found that some things had to be restrained, no matter how tempting they were at the time.

Just reminiscing about last night's scene, I found that the cooperation between Fan Jinling and Beifei Yikexi is really interesting, and Yikexi seems to like this kind of game.

"The ministers knock on Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Since it is now an early dynasty three times a month, almost no civil and military officials will be absent, and they came to the square in front of Fengtianmen on time, and bowed down in front of Zhu Youji.

Zhu Youzhu sat on the dragon chair, looking down on his courtiers condescendingly, and now he was not disgusted with the early dynasty.

Although the early dynasties were still mere formality meetings, their occasional appearance in front of civil and military officials was conducive to stimulating the loyalty factor in their bodies.

People are like this, although they are full of respect for the invisible emperor, they will have a stronger sense of intimacy with the visible emperor, and it will also inspire their loyalty from the bones.

The various yamen have been doing things one after another, but the early dynasty is also the most important way for some people to stir up trouble, and the time has finally come.

Hu Kedu gave Lin Yuanfu a list in the matter, and directly pointed the finger at Zhu Youji: "Your Majesty, Tongzhou Cang is the foundation of the stability of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the basis for the soldiers of the Nine Sides to eat rice!" Today, His Majesty has allocated rice grain from Tongzhou Cang due to the shortage of rice in the royal rice store...... Such a distinction between public and private will make a big mistake, and chaos in the north will lead to chaos in the world, so I implore Your Majesty to immediately stop the emperor's private transfer to Tongzhou Cang! ”

Due to the support of the Tongzhou granary, the Royal Rice Store has once again become the most important channel for the people in the capital to eat rice, and other rice stores in the capital cannot sell rice at all.

After eating a meal, Xiangcheng Hou Li Jin's gang is like a year, and they only hope that everything is a dream when they open their eyes every day.

Now they are not only facing the pressure of bankruptcy, but also have to bear the cost of storing rice, and they will really not be able to bear it if there is no turnaround.

It was because of this that they needed to stop the royal rice store from transferring grain from Tongzhou Cang, so that they could reverse the defeat.

Hey?

Li Yu and the others saw that this household department had jumped out of the matter, and they couldn't help but look up and down at this branch official who obviously had other purposes.

Lin Yuanfu is a native of Putian, Fujian, a talented person outstanding place, in Chenghua eleven years of high school jinshi, because of the admonition of Wang Zhi and Wang Yue to rise and famous, now tired of moving to the household branch to give things.

It's just that I never expected that this well-known Kedao official would eventually be driven by interest groups.

"I implore Your Majesty to immediately stop the imperial store's private transfer to Tongzhou Cang!" As soon as Lin Yuanfu's words fell, several more officials immediately echoed him.

Li Jin, Marquis of Xiangcheng, stood in the ranks of Wu Xun, very satisfied with everything he had directed, and looked at Zhu Youji in front of Fengtian Gate with a smile.

Although Zhu Youji's use of Tongzhou Cang can indeed instantly appease the panic of the people in the city, Tongzhou Cang is the stable northern granary of the Ming Dynasty after all, and it cannot be "used privately" by you Zhu Youzhu at will.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhu Youzhu had killed too many officials and magnates over the years, and the current Qingliu was all soft eggs, this obviously unruly approach would have been strongly opposed by civil and military officials.

Now that Lin Yuanfu has poked this matter out, you have to give everyone a reasonable explanation, otherwise the opposition will definitely get louder and louder, and the Wuxun group led by him will also stand up against it.

"Lin Yuanfu, do you know how much grain is stored in Tongzhou City?" Although Zhu Youzhu had already guessed that this would be the case this morning, he still asked with great disappointment.

Lin Yuanfu had actually just been transferred from Likedu to Zhongping, but he still did some homework and said: "When the first emperor died, the grain stored in the granary of Tongzhou was about 22 million stones!" ”

Jia Jun and other officials of the Ministry of Industry suddenly thought of Emperor Chenghua, and they couldn't help but nod secretly.

Although Xianzong's exclusive favor of Wan Guifei was criticized, and the opening of the West Factory made the civil official group grit their teeth with hatred, it did leave a lot of wealth to Zhu Youji.

"I ask you how much grain is stored in the Tongzhou granary now!" Zhu Youzhu stared at this middle-aged man from Fujian, and emphasized.

Lin Yuanfu looked left and right as if asking for help, and finally had to bite the bullet and say: "The amount of grain stored in the Tongzhou granary now should be about the same as when the first emperor died!" ”

Hey?

Jia Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and other officials suddenly found that they did not know about it, so they turned their heads to look at the team of household officials, looking for Wu Yu, the right attendant of the household department, who was in charge of Tongzhou Cang.

Wu Yu was like an old monk in a fixed place, but he didn't pay attention to the eyes around him.

"Wu Yu!" Zhu Youji's body leaned back, and he said lightly.

Wu Yu, the right attendant of the household department, immediately stood up respectfully, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly and reported: "Back to Your Majesty, there are a total of 37 million stones of grain stored in the granary of Tongzhou today!" ”

"Huh? How much? ”

"Three...... 37 million stones? ”

"This ...... How is it possible to have so much food in stock? ”

……

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Lin Yuanfu and the others who provoked trouble, even neutral officials looked at Wu Yu in shock.

Although many officials knew that the financial revenue of the imperial court had increased, so the grain in the granary of Tongzhou had also increased, but they did not expect that it would increase so much.

Lin Yuanfu's mouth opened wide, and then questioned: "Wu Shilang, this matter is not child's play, don't want to falsely report the number here!" ”

It's no wonder that he was suspicious, after all, this number has exceeded the understanding of everyone present.

"Section Chief Lin, in front of Your Majesty, who dares to deceive Your Majesty by killing your head? The withdrawal account book of Tongzhou granary is here, if you don't believe it, you can go forward and turn it over! Wu Yu glanced at Lin Yuanfu, and then took out the account book from his sleeve.

He really didn't falsely report the number, but the real grain in Tongzhou City.

The granary of Tongzhou City was originally laid a good foundation by Emperor Chenghua, and after Zhu Youzhu ascended the throne, he not only continued to improve the financial situation, but also paid great attention to food security in the north.

After the resumption of the opening of China and France, the grain shortage in Jiubian has been effectively alleviated, and the granary of Jiubian no longer depends on the granary of Tongzhou, but has obtained enough grain through the way of medium salt.

In addition, the relations between Jiubian and Mongolia have improved, and the fighting between the two sides has decreased significantly. As a result of the large amount of mutton obtained from trade, the burden of grain became smaller and smaller, and now the soldiers and soldiers of the Nine Sides were now paid with cloth tickets, which were especially popular with the Mongols.

In terms of grain tax in the Ming Dynasty, although it was only Huguang who tried to clear the acres of land at the beginning, many good families in various places have also begun to take the initiative to pay taxes to the imperial court in full.

With the implementation of the national clearing of fields and acres this year, the grain tax of Daming has increased rapidly, and grain from all over the country has been transported to the Tongzhou General Warehouse.

In particular, the Diao Min's register has played a very effective deterrent effect, and many large families do not want to cut off the future of their children and grandchildren because of tax avoidance, so they have cooperated and paid back the grain tax.

In addition, the year before last, the imperial court introduced extravagant taxes, and the Ming Dynasty taxed a large number of wealthy groups, and the rich paid silver taels, but there were also many Beijing magnates who paid grain, and the grain paid by these Beijing magnates was sent to the Tongzhou granary.

In terms of the expenditure of Tongzhou granary, although a number of Tongzhou granaries need to be mobilized for disaster relief due to the locust plague in Shandong, there are fewer and fewer places that need to be spent.

For example, in Shanxi, because the grain tax collected by the government is becoming more and more sufficient, not only does it not need to rely on the Tongzhou granary, but there is even enough tax grain to allocate to Jiubian.

It is precisely like this, the granary of Tongzhou has been in more and less out of the granary over the years, and under the fixed thinking that everyone thinks that the granary of Tongzhou cannot be moved lightly, they do not know that the grain storage of the granary in Tongzhou has reached an astonishing 37 million stones.

The reason why there is such a big gap in the price of rice in Beijing is not due to the fact that a large amount of grain in the capital has flowed into Tongzhou Cang through the luxury tax and other forms, which has led to a decrease in food in the society.

Xiangcheng Hou Li Jin and others simply saw that the rice and grain in the capital were tight, but they didn't know the real reason at all, so they went bankrupt to raise funds to hoard rice for profit.

If the 22 million grain stocks during the Chenghua Emperor period could stabilize the north, then now there are 15 million more stone grains to be stored, and how can it endanger the life and death of the Ming Dynasty if they take out a little bit to allocate to the royal rice bank?

Now the grain storage in the granary of Tongzhou is not to mention supplying the small capital, even if it is supplied to the entire northern region, it already has enough confidence.

"So we're so rich?"

"We've been getting rid of moths all these years!"

"Not only to remove moths, but we are also a blessing to the people, and how much less tax has the people paid!"

"Now there is so much grain in the granary of Tongzhou, and now someone wants to hoard Juqi, and this official is the first to refuse!"

……

When Jia Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and other officials learned the truth, they seemed to be aware of the fact that they had no objection to the supply of rice and grain to the royal rice store by the Tongzhou granary.

Everyone knows that if the food shortage in the granary of Tongzhou is indeed not suitable for mobilization, but now it is not used to resolve the food shortage in the capital and wait for mold?

Zhu Youzhu knew that it was time to give some people hardships, so he turned his eyes to Lin Yuanfu, who was the initiator, and said, "Section Chief Lin, what do you say now?" (End of chapter)
