Chapter 82: I Am the Emperor! Subdue Hu Hu! Behind the catastrophe, Wang Yue was assassinated!
Wan Zhen'er was graceful and knelt on the ground.
Zhu Jianshen noticed the emperor's eyes, which were the eyes of a man looking at a woman, if he didn't kill people, the emperor would definitely leave Wan Zhen'er to sleep!
"Give the knife to the prince!" Zhu Qiyu found out something, when Zhu Jianshen was in a hurry, he didn't have a runny nose, and said that he wasn't pretending?
Niu Yu, Zhang Min, and Wang Lun were lying on the ground trembling.
I have heard that the Qinzheng Hall is the Devil's Palace.
It's really worthy of the name, the Devil's Hall can't be sacrificed for a day, but I didn't expect that it would be their turn today.
The most wronged is Wang Lun, I didn't betray the prince, nor did I offend the emperor? Why should they be killed?
"Your Highness spares your life!" Wang Lun kowtowed like pounding garlic.
Zhu Jianshen really didn't want to do anything wrong, and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, Wang Lun is not wrong in serving his son, can you spare his life?" ”
"Whatever the prince says, it's what it is, the maid of the Ten Thousand Palaces will stay and serve me tonight."
Really!
The emperor threatened him with Wan Zhen'er!
"Your Majesty doesn't want it!" Zhu Jianshen knelt on the ground, tears flowing.
"No runny nose?" Zhu Qiyu asked in a strange way.
Nasal mucus!
Zhu Jianshen snorted after realizing it, and his expression was frightened.
Zhu Qiyu laughed: "Don't pretend, it's not the first time you've deceived me, I don't blame you, let's do it." ”
"Your Majesty spares your life!" Wang Lun cried.
"He's the noisiest, cut him first!" Zhu Qiyu pointed at Wang Lun.
Wang Lun is stupid, and it is wrong to beg for mercy?
Squeak!
Feng Xiao pushed the door of the Qinzheng Palace open, the cool breeze poured in, and the palace people who were waiting in the Qianqing Palace knelt at the door, watching the prince dissect his heart.
Zhu Jianshen's hand shook, the emperor is murderous!
His reputation must have been ruined!
In the future, you can only hug the emperor's thigh and be a mascot, otherwise, when the emperor sits firmly on the throne, he can be replaced as the prince in the name of violence!
This is the price of his collusion with Chen Xun!
Seeing that Zhu Jianshen was slow to move, Zhu Qiyu hooked her finger at Wan Zhen'er and asked her to come over and serve.
"Ahh
Zhu Jianshen stabbed into it, and Wang Lun screamed endlessly.
Blood splashed Zhu Jianshen's face!
The key is that the knife is in the wrong place, pierced in the chest, quite far from the heart.
"Your Highness, can you give the slave and maid a good time!" Wang Lun wept bitterly, he was pressed by two eunuchs, unable to move.
This knife is not fatal, it just hurts!
In addition, watching the white knife go in and the red knife out with his own eyes, the feeling of fear is even more terrifying.
"Don't speak! Hongu is also afraid! Zhu Jianshen's hands trembled, and he didn't want to kill him, but the emperor asked him to choose between Wan Zhen'er and Wang Lun.
Burst!
Zhu Jianshen grabbed it with a knife, and the blood made him a hand.
His hand was weak and he couldn't pierce it, probably to the bone.
Feng Xiao instructed him on the side, it was time to turn the knife, and with a slight stir, he could tear the skin open, and he could see the heart.
"Don't scream, the more you call me, the more your hands tremble, don't scream." Zhu Jianshen cried and begged Wang Lun, stop screaming.
Wang Lunri is a dog, you cut my heart and don't let me scream? Is there a Heavenly Principle King Law?
"His Royal Highness the Prince, go this way, the palace people waiting outside can't see it." Feng Xiao reminded Zhu Jianshen not to block the audience's view.
Zhu Jianshen cried even more, trembling and stirring the knife.
Wang Lun's scream was even more poignant.
"You can take it." Feng Xiao guided the whole process.
Zhu Jianshen put his hand into the cavity, and it was boiling hot.
Wang Lun couldn't scream anymore, he was dying, he was about to die, and before he died, his eyes shot out of bitter hatred, and he opened his mouth to bite Zhu Jianshen's arm!
Zhu Jianshen reacted quickly, took out his heart, and quickly retreated, dripping blood all over the ground.
"Look, I'm going to say your slave is unfaithful, right? I will take revenge on you before I die, prince, thank me! Zhu Qiyu said cool words on the side.
Zhu Jianshen's tears flowed down, and the name of the prince of the heart would definitely not be able to escape.
"Prince, aren't you grateful?" Feng Xiao said in a low voice.
"Son, thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" Zhu Jianshen was lying on the ground, still holding a heart in his hand, not knowing where to throw it.
"What a pity to throw it away, give it to Niu Yu to eat!" Zhu Qiyu said lightly.
Niu Yu's eyes widened and he shook his head: "Don't, don't!" ”
"Humph!"
"Niu Yu, you colluded with the Emperor Taishang and betrayed the prince, do you know what the crime is?"
"I only cut your heart, and I've already been extrajudicially gracious!"
Zhu Qiyu stood up and walked to Niu Yu's side: "The will of the East Palace has been issued, you are not lonely on the Huangquan Road, your nine clans will follow you!" Reincarnated as a dog in the next life, don't be a human, at least the dog knows loyalty! ”
"Huh?" Niu Yu exclaimed.
"Do it!" Zhu Qiyu's tone was cold.
Now is not a good time to deal with the emperor, his top priority is to seize the power of the court, so for the prince, it is also a point to stop.
You can't let Niu Yu come out and bite the emperor, that will put the Tianjia family in danger, the government is unstable, and you can't add to the chaos for the time being.
"Your Majesty! The slave can help you deal with the Emperor! The slave knows a lot of the emperor's ......"
Boom!
Zhu Qiyu kicked him fiercely: "Dog eunuch, dare to provoke the affection of the heavenly family?" I and the Emperor are blood brothers! How can they kill each other? It's all you bullshit villains, causing me and the Emperor Taishang to kill each other! ”
"Heavenly family affection, there is no one in ten! It's all provoked by you and other traitors! ”
"Feed him!"
The court must be stable!
I can't stimulate Hu Hu anymore!
Not to mention Yu Qian, who can't take charge of an army of 270,000, the court needs stability! Heaven still needs this fig leaf!
The most important thing is that Zhu Qiyu is not ready.
This Niu Yu seems to be smart, but in fact, he has committed a big taboo, the emperor is teaching the prince a lesson, not abolishing the prince.
The reason why the people of the Qianqing Palace are allowed to watch it is to tell the world that the prince is still the prince! I will punish him, but I will not abolish him!
Zhu Jianshen was also furious, this Niu Yu was really untrustworthy, he spared him a few times, turned his head and took refuge in the emperor again, wasting his trust for many years! Damn it!
He stuffed his heart into Niu Yu's mouth!
"Don't spit it out!" Zhu Jianshen roared viciously.
Niu Yu was about to vomit, he held Niu Yu's head with one hand and his mouth with the other hand, and let him chew and swallow it!
What he hated most was betrayal.
Niu Yu has betrayed him for the second time, so, he deserves to die!
This time, Zhu Jianshen moved neatly and directly took out a heart.
Then he looked at Zhang Min coldly.
Without the emperor's order before, Zhu Jianshen didn't dare to kill Zhang Min, but now it's different, he can kill Zhang Min to take revenge!
He wanted to stuff Niu Yu's heart into Zhang Min's mouth and force Zhang Min to eat it!
"Wait, give this heart to Xu Gan." Zhu Qiyu will not be too cheap to be too emperor, he must be taught a lesson and let him be honest.
When I put the court in order, it's time for you and my brother to want to see each other!
Zhu Jianshen was stunned and knelt on the ground: "The son obeys the order!" ”
"The emperor spares his life, the emperor, the slave and maid are your people!" Zhang Min crawled over and cried non-stop.
Zhu Jianshen held him down, and what he killed was the emperor's dog!
"You dog eunuch, you are unfaithful to this palace, this palace makes your death more painful!" Zhu Jianshen is actually a little addicted, and his heart is really refreshing, and he doesn't even stumble when he speaks.
Zhang Min screamed non-stop, and the smell of blood in the entire Qinzheng Hall was in his nose.
The palace people kneeling at the door had already vomited.
It's Zhu Jianshen, with a little excitement in his expression, which is really similar to the brutal Zhu Qiyu.
And at this time, Hu Hu came in slowly with a cane, and the palace people automatically got out of the way, Hu Hu just happened to see Zhu Jianshen's heart, his face was full of excitement, and his face turned black directly!
"Stop!"
Hu Hu roared angrily, dignified prince, how could he do such a cruel and tyrannical thing? Don't you want your reputation? How can you look exactly like the current emperor?
Wait, did the emperor force you?
Burst!
Just now, Zhu Jianshen took out his heart, and just happened to hear Hu Hu's roar, his hands shook in fright, and Zhang Min's heart fell to the ground.
Zhang Min looked down and looked at his still beating heart: You just don't take my heart seriously? Do you just throw it on the ground?
Spit!
In the next life, our family must not be a eunuch, just like your Zhu Jianshen's son, I will be angry with you!
Zhang Min stared at Zhu Jianshen resentfully, and then slowly closed his eyes......
Zhu Jianshen knelt on the ground like a quail, and it just so happened that his knees squeezed his heart and cried non-stop.
At a glance, you can see that it must have been forced by His Majesty!
Zhu Qiyu was also stunned: "Taifu entered the palace, why did no one report it?" ”
Feng Xiao was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and looked at Huai En with disgust.
Huaien kowtowed, and everyone in the Qianqing Palace was called to watch the prince's heart, and there was no one outside the palace.
"The Sixth Ministry and the Cabinet have discussed disaster relief measures, and the old minister has come to send a chapter to His Majesty."
Hu Hu was aggressive: "Hmph, if it weren't for the old minister's own eyes, how could he see the scene of the tiger poisoning and eating the child?" Your Majesty, what is the Crown Prince doing? What are you asking him to do! ”
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Zhu Jianshen, he really knows how to act.
"It's all withdrawn, I and Taifu have something to say."
Zhu Qiyu asked people to drag the dead down and give a seat to Hu Hu.
But after Hu Hu entered the hall, he insisted on kneeling in the center of the hall and refused to sit down.
He originally wanted to have a good talk with the emperor, hoping to peacefully transition the days after Chen Xun's death and maintain the stability of the court.
But I never expected to see such a cruel scene.
Zhu Jianshen cried pitifully, and Hu Hu was distressed.
"Old lady, I have a deep relationship with the prince's father and son, I just taught him some means of self-preservation." Zhu Qiyu was secretly annoyed, Zhu Jianshen was too good at acting.
"Your Majesty, is this called father-son love? How old is the prince this year, and you let him kill people? Still dissecting and killing? With such a prince, how will he govern the country in the future? ”
Hu Hu's words frightened Zhu Jianshen into tears, and knelt on the ground in horror: "Taifu, this palace knows that it is wrong!" ”
"Don't be afraid, the prince is here." Hu Hui appeased Zhu Jianshen and glared at the emperor angrily.
"Haha, it's just killing? At what age did Taizong kill someone? Didn't Emperor Renzong and Emperor Xuanzong kill anyone? Didn't I kill anyone? How old were you when you killed someone? Okay, the prince is frightened, go back to the East Palace. ”
Zhu Qiyu wants to make a big deal small, he wants to ease relations with Hu Hui, so he should bow his head, anyway, he didn't plan to really deal with the prince.
"Son's resignation!" Zhu Jianshen cried and kowtowed, playing pity to the extreme, and even Zhu Qiyu couldn't bear to see it.
"Go, the prince is frightened, let Xiang Sibao go over to serve you, this ten thousand palace maids are loyal or traitorous, you still need to discern, stay in the Qianqing Palace for the time being, I will help you watch." Zhu Qiyu sneered, I can't cure you anymore.
Zhu Jianshen trembled, the emperor was taking revenge on him!
He fell to his knees, his heart trembling.
Hu Huren was old and refined, and sighed: "Your Majesty, become the crown prince." ”
"Old lady, aren't you angry?" Zhu Qiyu raised his eyes, he didn't take the opportunity to attack, he wanted to repair the relationship with Hu Hui.
"The old minister begs Your Majesty, the prince must not be allowed to do such a violent thing in the future, today's matter, the old minister helped the prince cover it up, this matter ends here, and it cannot be passed on."
Of course, Hu Hu saw through the emperor's strategy, you stink, you want to pull the prince into the pit.
Have you asked the courtiers?
We need to support a wise emperor like Renzong, not a tyrannical king like you!
"Anyway, the prince's reputation is important, and tomorrow I will say that the three eunuchs in the East Palace hit the blade and died."
Hu Hu rolled his eyes, the emperor was going to make a deal with him!
"Please return to the palace." Hu Hu said slowly.
"Prince, quickly help the old lady up." Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed.
Hu Hu glanced at it, the prince's hands were full of blood, let him help him, wouldn't he get himself?
Alas, the emperor's careful thoughts!
Zhu Jianshen's hand had nowhere to put it, and he didn't dare to disobey the emperor's order, so he could only look at Hu Hu pitifully.
"The prince will take a hand." Hu Hu sighed.
"Master Xie of this palace!" Zhu Jianshen carefully helped Hu Hu up and played the qi bag to the fullest.
was succeeded by Zhu Jian again!
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cloudy, I can't take off the hat of this bad guy.
That's it, let Xiang Sibao serve you well!
Send away the prince and Wan Zhen'er.
Zhu Qiyu asked people to close the door and let all the eunuchs withdraw.
"The old lady entered the palace, what happened?" Zhu Qiyu's tone was calm.
The emperor's careful eyes are really in the same vein, and the statue of Emperor Taizong, and the statue of Emperor Xuanzong, alas.
Hu Hu looked at the blood stains on his body and sighed.
"Your Majesty, the Cabinet has drawn up a disaster relief item, please take a look at it."
Hu Hui presented the recital.
Zhu Qiyu has ten lines at a glance, these disaster relief strategies are commonplace, but they are all effective strategies.
"Exactly."
"Your Majesty, it's just that the household is empty, and there is no money and food for disaster relief." Hu Hu smiled bitterly.
"First adjust the food emergency that is often closed, and then think of a way for the central court."
"We can't let the victims go hungry, they will rebel when they are hungry, and we can't turn Shandong into Huguang."
"Two capitals and thirteen provinces, there are fewer and fewer provinces that can provide taxes to the court, and the world is already overwhelmed, Taifu."
Zhu Qiyu sighed.
The number of disasters in the Great Tomorrow is the largest in history.
The peaceful and prosperous era is nothing more than whitewashing, that is, because there are not enough rebellions and the finances have not completely collapsed, they are preached by the civil officials as a so-called prosperous era, but in fact, the people are not hungry, and there are white bones everywhere.
I didn't take this home well.
"Your Majesty is right to be worried."
Hu Hu hesitated: "When the old minister was young, he traveled all over the world, and it was still the Yongle Dynasty at that time, and Chang Ping was no longer worthy of the name. Time has passed, I am afraid that it will be even more corrupt, and the old minister is worried that His Majesty will close the position to provide disaster relief, and I am afraid that he will force the displaced people to die. ”
As he spoke, he knelt on the ground, worried that the emperor would not be able to hear the truth.
is also ready for the emperor to be furious, but if he doesn't want Shandong to smoke everywhere, he can't use Changping to provide relief, which is forcing the victims to rebel.
"The old lady, please, what the old lady said, why don't I know? In the past two years, there was a big flood in Jiangxi, and I used Changping to provide relief, and countless people died, and even now, Jiangxi is not stable. ”
Zhu Qiyu personally helped Hu Hu up: "The old lady and I said this confidant words, and I am very relieved. ”
"However, there is no surplus grain in Jingcang."
He looked at Hu Hu earnestly with his eyes: "Does the old lady have a clever plan to teach me?" ”
"If there is no Varat knocking on the border, you can still transfer food from the center for relief, but now...... I'm afraid there is only one way, I can only buy grain from the merchants. ”
"Will the grain merchant sell the grain to me?" Zhu Qiyu didn't believe it.
These grain merchants are eager for natural disasters and famines, so how can they sell their grain to the center? They will use the least amount of grain to squeeze out the last copper plate of the victims, as for whether the people will die or not, what can the merchants do?
Moreover, there are also local wealthy and powerful households, who naturally take advantage of the fire to rob and collect the displaced people as tenants.
Whenever there is a famine, the court racks its brains and scratches its head for relief, but these people carry out gluttonous feasts and carnivals.
The local officials are not clean, and the three parties work together, and the unlucky ones are the poor people.
"Your Majesty, if the court goes to buy it directly, it will naturally not be sold, but it can be traded in the name of the merchant, but the price is a little more expensive, at least there are fewer deaths." Hu Hu said cautiously.
"What if I kill chickens and take eggs?" Zhu Qiyu's voice was cold.
Wouldn't it be over if these damn grain merchants were directly raided and exterminated?
"Your Majesty must not, now that the town is in an emergency, the Shandong disaster, if Your Majesty uses thunderbolt means to treat the disaster again, I am afraid that the disaster will be endless!"
Hu Hu didn't say it thoroughly, but in fact, he said: If the emperor kills Shang Jia, the whole of Shandong will rebel, and when the time comes, the situation will be even worse.
"I, the emperor, still have to be angry with the merchants?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes were as bright as knives.
"Your Majesty, bear with me for the time being, and settle accounts afterwards!" Hu Hu gritted his teeth and said thoughtfully.
"Can you really settle the score?" Zhu Qiyu is also testing the relationship between Hu Hu and Shang Jia, if Shang Jia is standing behind Hu Hu, he will dispel his thoughts as soon as possible.
"Yes!"
Hu Hui is categorical.
He was also thinking about how to establish a new relationship with the emperor.
Now it's different from the past, the emperor is grasping the imperial power, and he can't blindly block it like before, absolutely not.
Now we must treat the emperor as the emperor, establish a correct way of cooperation with the emperor, and give him the imperial power, but we can't let the emperor enjoy the imperial power exclusively, and we must always give half to the courtiers.
Hu Hu is not Chen Xun, he is never radical and strong, and he will choose to back down when it is time to back down.
Zhu Qiyu's fingertips tapped, thinking about Hu Hu's words.
That is to say, he has nothing to do with businessmen, so who are these businessmen's backers in the court?
Zhu Qiyu thought of Zhang Renxiao, and when Dongchang finished copying Chen Xun's home, he would know.
"It's also good to have fewer homeless deaths."
Zhu Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Old lady, even if the court can't completely relieve the disaster, it must give hope to the victims, and with hope, there will be no rebellion." ”
As for being captured by the powerful gentry as a tenant, it is better than a person dying, and there is at least hope for a person to live, and the emperor is also very helpless.
Hu Hui bowed his head, the top priority is disaster relief, and everything else must be postponed.
"Your Majesty, but the household department has no money." Hu Hu said again.
"How much do you estimate the cost of this disaster relief?"
Zhu Qiyu added another lower limit: "Just stabilize Shandong, Shandong can't be chaotic!" ”
"At least 300,000 taels, not counting the cost of repairing the Yellow River embankment."
Zhu Qiyu was a little desperate, he really couldn't wait for this money.
"Your Majesty, 100,000 taels is fine, but I'm afraid that Shandong's vitality will be greatly damaged, and it won't be able to recover in thirty years." Hu Hu smiled bitterly.
"The silver should be spent, I don't want a thousand miles of uninhabited Shandong!"
This place in Shandong is very evil, Taizu and Taizong hate this place in Shandong, and Shandong has the heaviest taxes and the heaviest forced labor in recent years. Even, there is a second emperor sitting on the head of Shandong, the Kong family! said that the Confucian family was the true emperor of Shandong, and no one believed it.
"But the money?" Hu Hui spread his hands with a helpless expression.
"What can Taifu do?"
"The old minister thinks that the tax can be raised appropriately......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Qiyu interrupted directly: "Absolutely not!" ”
"Old lady, the people of the Ming Dynasty are too poor, it is already difficult for them to live, if taxes are increased, I am afraid that the whole country will be full of smoke, and I am afraid that the emperor will really make an edict against himself!"
"There must be no more taxes, not a single copper plate! I, the emperor, can't reduce taxes for the people, and I'm not doing as well as my ancestors. ”
Zhu Qiyu looked sad, I am not qualified as an emperor.
"But it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice." Hu Hu smiled bitterly.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed: "If I have a way, it depends on whether the old lady is willing to cooperate?" ”
"Your Majesty wants to levy a commercial tax?"
Hu Hu immediately saw through the emperor's thoughts, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty wants to levy business taxes, and you have no choice." ”
"However, there are two biggest problems: first, what is the entry? Can the collection be regulated? ”
"Second, the DPRK and the Central Committee are not enough, and the Ministry of Households will put down all the accounts, and at most it can be expropriated within the Gyeonggi area, and no more will be enough."
"This has created many problems: if only Gyeonggi is collected, merchants will inevitably leave Gyeonggi, leading to a commercial depression in Gyeonggi and affecting the livelihood of the people."
"Also, most of them are unvirtuous and talentless people who don't read the books of sages, how can we ensure that they are not greedy or possessive?"
Zhu Qiyu frowned, what Hu Hu said was a practical problem.
"The most difficult thing is that even if the tax is levied, it is not a day's work, the disaster situation in Shandong is in front of us, and the money is urgently needed, and it can't be delayed for a moment." Hu Hu looked helpless.
"Taifu, I only ask you, do you agree?" Zhu Qiyu is going to take the opportunity to do something.
"As long as the money can be collected, the old minister will agree!" Hu Hui also let go, but he was very pessimistic, believing that the emperor could not collect commercial taxes.
Daming is not without commercial taxes, but very few are collected.
Needless to say, the reason for this is that it can't be collected anyway.
"The old minister wants to know, how does His Majesty collect taxes?" Hu Hu asked.
"This matter still needs to be kept secret, I want to catch the businessman off guard!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed: "Since the old lady supports, then I want to hold a public auction and invite all the businessmen in Beijing to participate. ”
Hu Hu was shocked and looked at the emperor in surprise.
Tooth shop and collapsed house are royal stores, all over the country, and they are monopoly industries.
Before, when Emperor Renzong was there, the court advised Emperor Renzong countless times not to compete with the people for profit, give up the imperial store, and give up the monopoly.
However, the benevolent and virtuous Emperor Renzong resolutely opposed it and refused to let go, and the silver from the imperial store went into the house every year.
Compared with Huangzhuang, Huangdian is the main source of internal silver.
But I don't want to, this current emperor, who was judged by the ministers to be a violent king, is willing to give up the imperial store for disaster relief!
"The old minister is grateful for the victims of the Shandong disaster, Your Majesty Longen!"
Hu Hu knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
"Rise up, don't the victims of the disaster be my children? Money is something outside the body after all, and I can't bear to let my children suffer. ”
Zhu Qiyu begged in a begging tone: "But please also ask Taifu, I hope that all the courtiers will participate, and sell the imperial store at a high price, whether Shandong is chaotic or not, it depends on how much silver can be sold!" ”
"The old minister must personally supervise and never let the imperial store fall into the hands of unscrupulous traders!" Hu Hu kowtowed.
Zhu Qiyu helped him up.
In fact, the Huangdian has long existed in name only, being squeezed out by private businessmen, and being greedy by the eunuchs guarding the town, and only 780,000 taels of silver are recorded every year.
For tens of thousands of taels of silver, it is really not worth it to bear the infamy, it is better to throw it out for a good reputation.
He is now going to get the imperial power, what he wants is the stability of the court, after Chen Xun's death, he, the emperor, will personally be a pastemaker, so that the court can restore stability, so that he can successfully get back the imperial power.
As for the money, it's all in Daming's pot, will it fly?
When the imperial power is in hand, will there still be a shortage of money?
The eunuchs of Huangzhuang and Huangdian are greedy, and if they kill them, won't the money come back?
If you don't have the right account, you will continue to look for it until you find it all!
With the imperial power in hand, who dares to say no?
Now, be stable!
He also urgently needs a good reputation, in exchange for Hu Hui's support, in exchange for the stability of the court.
Don't mess around.
"Taifu, you can help me calculate again, what else can I sell? Sold together! ”
Hu Hu can see that the emperor has the world in mind.
It's really gone this time.
Everything that can be sold has been sold, and most of the income from the internal money is gone.
"Taifu, the matter of auctioning the imperial store will be handled by Jin Zhong and you, and the money will not go through the internal treasury or the hands of the household department, and will be directly escorted to Shandong."
Zhu Qiyu grabbed Hu Hu's arm and said emotionally: "Taifu, these are the life-saving money of the victims, the victims are stable, Shandong is here, the courtiers must not stretch out their hands, just this time, I beg you, don't be greedy, okay?" ”
Hu Hui's face turned red and he knelt on the ground: "The old minister promises that Shandong will be as stable as Mount Tai!" ”
"Good! I've handed over Shandong to Taifu! ”
"But the ugly words are in front, and the people of Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Tiqi will secretly investigate."
"Once I know that someone will do something to this silver, let the victims rebel and make Shandong unstable!"
"Taifu, it's time! I must kill a river of blood! When the time comes, don't stop me! When the time comes, whoever stops me, I will kill him! ”
"I will also issue a holy decree to Yu Qian, if someone moves this money, I will let the Beijing camp directly stationed in Shandong, and kill the Shandong officialdom into a river of blood! Pierced the sky, I came to carry it! ”
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were as bright as knives.
Hu Hu slowly knelt on the ground: "If someone digs the roots of Daming, Lao Chen will be the first to not let him go!" ”
"Good!"
Zhu Qiyu opened his hand: "I and Taifu, high-five as an oath!" ”
Hu Hu stood up tremblingly and swore an oath by clapping three palms with the emperor.
But my heart was inexplicably cold, and I felt as if I had been calculated by the emperor.
The affairs of the courtiers should be in the hands of the cabinet, I am a secretary of the ministry, what kind of trouble do I mix in?
But I also understand one thing, the first fire for the emperor to take back the imperial power is going to burn in Shandong!
After talking about the disaster.
"Old lady, my heart doesn't fall to the ground every day." Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly and sat down on the soft collapse.
"Your Majesty, but please sleep in peace, no one can shake you!" Hu Hu knew what Zhu Qiyu was talking about.
"Xu Bin said just now that the Emperor Taishang is planning a conspiracy, and I suspect that it has something to do with it." Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold.
Hu Hui's face changed slightly: "Your Majesty, you must not make any extraneous branches!" Chen Xun has just died, the court is unstable, Your Majesty should focus on stabilizing the court, and can't make extraneous branches! ”
"Taifu is right, I have already castrated Xu Bin and sent him to serve the emperor."
Hu Hu was inexplicably cool, from an official eunuch family to a eunuch family, the difference between one word and the world, mourning a stick of incense for Xu Bin.
"I also know the priorities, but the Emperor Tai has blocked me."
"The five words that Chen Xun wrote before he died, the more I think about it now, the more terrifying I feel."
"The Emperor Taishang in Nangong can manipulate assassination, manipulate the court, and Zhang Xun, who has left Beijing, can make Chen Xun use it for him, terrible, Taifu! I really can't sleep, I don't dare to sleep! ”
Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Hu.
Hu Hu understood that the emperor wanted him to support the emperor with a clear banner, instead of being a weed, swaying between the current saint and the emperor.
"Taifu, the doctor said that I am healthy and can still give birth!" Zhu Qiyu gave him a reassuring pill.
Hu Hui's face changed slightly, the emperor was telling him that he would not die, and he could still give birth to a son, and his heart would be appeased!
Can serve a monarch like Taizong, is there really a good end?
Slowly, he knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to the minister, and the minister is willing to go to the soup for Your Majesty!" ”
Hu Hu had no choice, the emperor said this, either stand with the emperor with a clear banner, or become the emperor's enemy.
"Taifu, please get up!" Zhu Qiyu laughed and hurriedly helped Hu Hu up.
"Your Majesty, if you don't kill Chen Xun, the Emperor Taishang won't have to worry about it." Hu Hu sighed.
That's right, Zhang Xun played Chen Xun like a monkey.
Chen Xun will definitely retaliate, and he will retaliate extremely violently, and the one who will be uncomfortable at that time will be the emperor.
"Old lady, what's the use of a dead person speaking out?" Zhu Qiyu sneered, if you didn't kill Chen Xun, would you talk to me like this?
I'm not the mascot you have in a cage?
If I really want to deal with the Emperor, will I have no means?
Hu Hu is warning me not to kill people casually, killing courtiers without permission has benefits, but the disadvantages are also huge.
The emperor should be the protector of the rules, not the victim of the rules, because the biggest beneficiary of the Ming rules is the emperor.
Therefore, Hu Hu hopes that the emperor will honestly abide by the rules in the future.
"Your Majesty, what the court needs at the moment is stability."
"I see."
Send Hu Hu away.
Zhu Qiyu stretched his waist, ate something, and drank porridge, and his gluttony surged.
Without the mountain of Chen Xun, the crisis is temporarily resolved.
It's time to recruit the cook into the palace, cook a delicious table for me, and have a good meal.
No, no money!
Zhu Qiyu slapped his head, and he had to find a way to make money.
"Emperor, Grandpa Zhang has arrived."
Zhu Qiyu let Zhang Yong in, he walked in the hall, he was a little used to the smell of blood, people were really forced out.
Zhang Yong came in and saluted, and said with tears in his eyes: "Let the emperor suffer." ”
"What did I suffer, I killed Chen Xun today, I am in a happy mood, it won't be long before I am the real emperor!"
Zhu Qiyu asked him to get up: "The life in the celebrant is not comfortable, right?" ”
"It's done."
Zhang Yong, the eunuch with palm prints, is literal, palm prints, don't speak, responsible for sealing.
"Hahaha, look at your bitter gourd face, it won't be long before the celebrant is up to you!" Zhu Qiyu laughed.
Zhang Yong praised two sentences, and said with some concern: "Emperor, the slave has a kind of illusion, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”
"Say, what can't you say to me?"
"During the days of the celebrant eunuch, the slave maid has the illusion that even if you kill all the eunuchs of the celebrant eunuch, this celebrant is also a lackey of the cabinet." Zhang Yongdao.
Zhu Qiyu was surprised.
"Emperor, this is just the feeling of a slave."
"You mean: the celebrant is a vassal of the cabinet?"
Zhang Yong nodded.
"Just keep an eye on it, Zhang Yong, you have to be ready at any time to completely take over the celebrant and hold the power of the celebrant in your own hands, can you do it?" Zhu Qiyu stared at him.
"Slaves and maids will live up to their commandments!" Zhang Yong knelt on the ground.
"Get up, tell me, what did I get by killing Chen Xun?" Zhu Qiyu is examining him.
"Return to the Emperor."
Zhang Yong said slowly: "The emperor killed Chen Xun and put his hand into the cabinet, you appointed Lin Cong as the first assistant of the cabinet, changed the way the cabinet power was distributed, and let Xue Xuan enter the cabinet and meddle in the ministry, which is equivalent to using the official position of the cabinet and the ministry to attract courtiers to serve you." ”
"Chen Xun's power to kill and assist is back in your hands."
"And you reuse the General Administration, set up a military aircraft department, and hold the imperial power in the palm of your hand."
"What you need now is time, cultivate enough henchmen, insert them, and the court will be in your hands, and you will completely control the imperial power!"
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Zhang Yong in surprise: "There is progress, Zhang Yong!" ”
"I don't dare to accept the emperor's praise."
Zhang Yong scratched his hair in embarrassment, and said hesitantly: "Actually, these are not what the slave maid thought of, the slave maid promoted a little eunuch, and he gave the slave maid the idea." ”
"Oh? What's it called? Brought? Zhu Qiyu became interested.
"Waiting outside, the slave wants the emperor to palm." Zhang Yong's loyalty to Zhu Qiyu is beyond doubt.
He didn't dare to reuse the little eunuch directly, and he had to ask the emperor's consent to do so.
"Xuan in."
Soon, a very young little eunuch knelt on the ground: "Slave Liang Fang, please St. Ann!" ”
Liang Fang?
It turned out to be him.
"Is it Zhang Yong who you mentioned?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.
"The slave didn't dare to mention the godfather, the slave just said a few nonsense, and the godfather thought of it himself!"
Liang Fang didn't dare to take credit, and called him a more affectionate title, godfather, instead of Da Jue.
Zhu Qiyu was happy: "It's going to stammer, Zhang Yong, how old are you, and you accepted your godson?" ”
"The slave and maid dare not deceive the emperor, the slave and maid accept the godson is the godson, if the emperor is not satisfied, the slave and the maid will expel him from the house!" Zhang Yong knelt on the ground and answered honestly.
"Get up, take it." Zhu Qiyu said lightly.
Zhang Yongsuan figured out the emperor's temperament, the emperor is not afraid of the greed of the eunuchs around him, but he must tell the emperor in case of trouble, and he must tell the emperor everything! This is the emperor's desire to control!
"Emperor Xie." Zhang Yong and Liang Fang stood up.
"Liang Fang, then tell me, what harm is there if I kill Chen Xun?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
"The slave didn't dare to say it." Liang Fang trembled and knelt down.
"Say, I forgive you not guilty."
Liang Fangcai said: "Emperor, I'm afraid you will never get the heart of the minister." ”
"Huh?" Zhu Qiyu was stunned.
Liang Fang was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and Zhu Qiyu asked him to continue.
Liang Fang means that Chen Xun is just the leader pushed out by Wenchen, and if Chen Xun is killed, there will be Zhang Xun and Wang Xun, and they will be killed endlessly.
"Do you have a solution?" Zhu Qiyu is interested, this is a far-sighted eunuch, no wonder he can leave a stench for thousands of years.
"How dare a slave or maid usurp the Son of Heaven......"
"If you say it, if you miss this opportunity, you will never have a bright day." Zhu Qiyu didn't want to listen to nonsense.
Liang Fang gritted her teeth and said: "The slave maid thinks that you should start with the imperial examination!" ”
This guy is ruthless enough!
Dig directly into the roots of readers!
What he means is that the current courtiers are not willing to be dogs, so they will simply kill them all and recruit a new group of people who are willing to be dogs to become officials in the center.
Reform the imperial examination again, and use the imperial examination to seize the lightness of the civil ministers.
The court naturally listened to the emperor, because the disobedient ones were turned to ashes, and the officials who entered the officialdom through the imperial examination also had the consciousness of being dogs, so they naturally would not resist very much.
"That's what you want?" Zhu Qiyu raised his eyelids and looked at the young eunuch seriously.
He looks handsome, speaks with a duck voice, and is childish, but opening his mouth is a poisonous trick, which is worth cultivating.
Liang Fang kowtowed respectfully: "It was the slave maid who thought of it." ”
"Where did you serve before?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"The slave maid was born in the inner study hall, and later because she offended people, she did rough work in the imperial horse prison." Liang Fang's eyes were nervous, he knew that the emperor was going to reuse him.
"Neishutang has a good background, I know some writing and ink, so I will serve by Zhang Yong's side, join the ceremonial supervisor, deal with some documents, and increase my knowledge." Zhu Qiyu said lightly.
"Slave and maid, thank the emperor for promotion!" Liang Fang was extremely excited.
Entering the celebrant is a step to the sky.
"Alright, stand down." Zhu Qiyu also has to observe Liang Fang, who is he? Is it available?
Sending Liang Fang away, Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhang Yong: "Is he reliable?" ”
"The slave is still observing, but it should be reliable, when the slave and maid saw him, he was doing rough work in the imperial horse prison, and no one was waiting to see him." Zhang Yong replied.
"Keep your eyes open, look slowly, and don't let the dirt get in."
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Feng Xiao and the others again: "Especially those from the Inner Book Hall, they have to be reviewed in detail, remember?" ”
Because it was Wenchen who preached and taught eunuchs in the Inner Study, Zhu Qiyu was worried that those eunuchs who studied in the Inner Study Hall would be easily bribed by civil officials.
"Slave obeys!" Zhang Yong bowed.
"If there are any available eunuchs in the celebrant eunuch, you can also stay, and also pick some credible eunuchs in the palace and fill them in the celebrant eunuch, don't be afraid that your subordinates will do something wrong, loyalty is the most important thing."
Zhu Qiyu reminded Zhang Yong: "Also, the think tank charges a few more, don't listen to one person." ”
"You are loyal and honest, which is your advantage, but you are not ruthless enough, and you drag your feet."
"Therefore, I hand over the celebrant to you, and you will do a word, steady, and not making mistakes is a great achievement!"
"Slave understands!" Zhang Yong kowtowed.
"Zhang Yong, help me pay attention to one thing."
"How did Chen Xun manipulate the Shandong disaster?"
"The Shandong disaster, behind it is by no means simple, I don't know how many people are involved, I estimate that it is a shocking case."
"You observe slowly, don't act rashly, and don't reveal my words to anyone, I only believe you!"
"This matter is very important, and it can only be investigated secretly, and it must not be fanfare, as if nothing happened, understand?"
Zhu Qiyu didn't dare to check it at all, or rather, he didn't dare to check it blatantly.
In the court, manipulating the Shandong disaster is by no means something that one or two people can do, how big a group should there be?
But if I don't find out, how can I clean up the court?
"Slave obeys!" Zhang Yong took it to heart.
Sending Zhang Yong away, Zhu Qiyu spit out a breath of turbidity, and asked again: "Shu Liangke, is there any news coming in?" ”
"Back to the emperor, not for the time being."
Zhu Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief and paced back and forth in the hall.
"Emperor, Chengqian Palace sent someone to ask, is the emperor going to rest?" Qin Chang reported.
"Let the noble concubine come to the Qinzheng Palace...... Forget it, let's go to Chengqian Palace. ”
Zhu Qiyu exhaled, the murderous aura of the Qinzheng Palace was too heavy, and the concubine didn't like it.
Take the imperial chariot and go to Chengqian Palace on the way: "What about Xu Gan?" ”
"Back to the emperor, Grandpa Xu has gone to Nangong."
It turned out to be a surprise for the Emperor.
Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes, Zhang Xuan, who left Beijing, can still make waves in Beijing, where are his henchmen hiding?
Why did Chen Xun harbor the families of Wang Ao and other prisoners? Are there any benefits?
Riku's treasure, was it stolen by Chen Xun, or was it Zhang Xuan?
"Did Lu Zhong send a piece of music?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
"Back to the emperor, not for the time being."
Zhu Qiyu pondered for a long time, and the imperial chariot entered the Chengqian Palace, and suddenly said: "Tomorrow, King Xuan will come back to see you." ”
He decided to take the initiative, starting with the General Administration.
Entered the Chengqian Palace.
Tang Guifei prepared water and bathed the emperor.
Just about to go to bed, Feng Xiao's voice came from outside the door: "Emperor Qiqi, the king of Shandong Dao supervised the imperial history has crossed to the palace gate, saying that there is something important to play!" ”
"Wang Yue is back?"
Zhu Qiyu sat up with a bone: "I entered the palace in the middle of the night, what happened?" ”
"It is said that it has something to do with the Shandong disaster!"
"Open the palace door and go to the Qinzheng Palace to wait for me!" Zhu Qiyu was completely sleepy, and he was worried about Shandong, and the people who were familiar with Shandong were back!
"Your Majesty, you have to take care of the dragon's body." Tang Guifei's face was full of worry.
"Concubine Ai is worry-free, I pay attention, Wang Yue must know something when he comes back from Shandong, otherwise he won't knock on the palace door late at night, he is a measured person, there must be something big."
Zhu Qiyu patted her hand, saw that her face was full of sorrow, and quickly comforted her: "Okay, give me an hour, half an hour, and I will come back!" Just go to sleep and never deal with politics again, okay? ”
"Your Majesty, don't go back and forth, the concubines will go to the Qinzheng Palace to serve Your Majesty." Tang Guifei also put on her clothes and changed Zhu Qiyu's clothes.
"Let the concubine be tired." Zhu Qiyu patted her on the shoulder.
The imperial chariot entered the Qianqing Palace and stopped in front of the Qinzheng Palace.
Wang Yue knelt on the ground and respectfully greeted St. Ann.
"I'm safe!"
Zhu Qiyu entered the hall, and Wang Yue followed behind.
He is not tall, but his face is tight, giving people a very stern feeling, his eyes are even more sharp, and his waist is straight and meticulous.
"Wang Yue, what do you want to report?" Zhu Qiyu couldn't wait.
"Your Majesty, please be patient and listen to the minister."
Wang Yue started from Jingtai's seven years in Shandong.
ended with his arrival in Beijing, which was concise and to the point, but described for Zhu Qiyu the real scene of Shandong in the past year.
It's shocking.
"What do you say? When you entered Beijing, you were assassinated? Zhu Qiyu's eyes were like ice.
"Back to Your Majesty, yes, not long after the minister left Shandong, he was assassinated, a total of twice, the first time in the post station, and the second time on the road!"
Wang Yue pointed to his legs: "The second time, the minister was on the horse, and the thief shot the minister with a bow and crossbow, and the minister fell off the horse and fell on the leg when he was dodging. ”
But Zhu Qiyu really didn't notice that there was an abnormality in his legs.
"The minister is just pretending." Wang Yue didn't dare to lose his honor in front of the king, and he didn't dare to show the emperor an injury.
"Aiqing, there is no imperial doctor in the palace, I can't let the imperial doctor treat you, and the Shandong disaster, I am empty, I really can't get a reward, so I will give you this jade pendant! This is my personal thing, if Aiqing is in trouble, you can hold this jade pendant and enter the palace overnight! ”
Zhu Qiyu took off the jade pendant he was wearing and handed it to Wang Yue.
"How dare the minister?" Wang Yue knelt on the ground, surprised and delighted.
"Aiqing has a wound on her leg, so don't kneel."
Zhu Qiyu wants to accept Wang Yue's heart.
He helped Wang Yue up and asked him to sit down.
"Your Majesty's love makes the ministers grateful!" Wang Yue shed tears.
"I plan to sell the Huangdian and send all the money and grain raised to Shandong, so I hope that the victims of Shandong can survive this time."
Wang Yue was even more moved, he had played more than once about the recitals of Yaxing and the collapsed house.
But he didn't expect that the emperor would take out the imperial store to the victims at a critical juncture.
"Aiqing!"
"But I'm worried, I'm worried that someone will do something about this money, I'm worried that this money won't reach the victims!"
"You are a pillar of talent, and you have been in the place for a long time, you should understand that if the victims can't eat, they will rise up, and the victims, displaced people, and thieves will make trouble in Shandong, and the trouble will be endless, I'm afraid it will become another Huguang."
"Now that Xuanzhen is fighting, Huguang is quelling the rebellion, the world can't stand the toss, and the Ming Dynasty can't stand the toss."
Seeing that Wang Yue was about to speak, Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Aiqing, you are from Shandong, and you know Shandong very well, so I want you to supervise, and I will promote you to be the right deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and supervise the distribution of disaster relief funds for me and the court." ”
"Wang Yue, can I believe you?"
Stared at by the emperor's burning gaze, Wang Yue knelt on the ground: "The heart of the minister is worthy of heaven and earth!" Your Majesty will hand over the burden to the ministers, and the ministers will go to the soup to repay Your Majesty's kindness! ”
"Good!"
Zhu Qiyu helped him up: "I originally planned to keep you in the capital, but now Shandong is even more chaotic, Shandong is safe, the world is safe, I will hand over Shandong to you!" ”
"I know that when you go to Shandong, someone will inevitably pour dirty water on you, slander you, and slander your family! But don't be afraid! I've got your back! ”
"My edict has been issued, whoever touches my money, I will punish whoever is of the nine clans!"
"You are the same, you are the one I sent, whoever touches you, I will kill him!"
"Remember, it's me behind you!"
"As long as you are good for the victims and make Shandong stable, I will support you!"
Wang Yue was so grateful that he wanted to bow down again.
His tireless efforts are not waiting for this day.
The emperor is different from what the rumors say, the emperor really wants to do things!
He doesn't know much about the struggle in the court, and I'm afraid he doesn't have time to understand it now.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness!" Wang Yue knelt on the ground.
"Don't be thankful yet, I'm not done yet!"
"What you said is really shocking, I believe it, but I can't move, understand?"
Zhu Qiyu sighed, and burned the piece handed over by Wang Yue directly: "The disaster in Shandong is like fire, and I don't have time to deal with these trivial things." ”
"But it's not indulgence, if these people are in the disaster, then do it!"
"I will calculate the new accounts and the old accounts together, double the calculations!"
"Wang Yue, I handed over Shandong to you!"
Zhu Qiyu grabbed his hand!
As soon as Wang Yue entered Beijing, he was about to leave Beijing.
In the court, I am afraid that the only one who is familiar with Shandong and trustworthy is Wang Yue.
Judging from the recital submitted by Wang Yue, it can be said that Shandong officialdom is rotten, but for the time being, we must endure it, handle the disaster well, and then talk about other things.
"The minister must live up to His Majesty's trust!" Wang Yue knelt on the ground.
"I give you the Sword of Heaven and give you expediency!"
Wang Yue's eyes widened, isn't this a Qin cha!
The emperor gave the Son of Heaven the sword and gave him expediency, which means that he will kill at will in Shandong officialdom!
But he's not the emperor's man!
Why did the emperor trust him so much?
"Wang Yue, you are the governor of Shandong, you are not the only one, I will also send people from the imperial history of Beijing, the patrol envoy, Dongchang, Jinyiwei and Tiqi to inspect and make secret visits."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were sharp: "I hope that you can keep your heart and never move thoughts that you shouldn't have!" ”
"Don't dare!"
Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
If the emperor really gave him so much power, I am afraid it would be a blessing in disguise.
"Tomorrow you will write another piece of music and submit it to the cabinet."
When Zhu Qiyu takes back the imperial power, he has to play within the framework of the rules, and if everything crosses the cabinet, his lackeys Lin Cong and Wang Wen will also have two hearts.
"Command!"
Wang Yue bowed down after thanking him and left the Qinzheng Palace.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes are gloomy, Shandong is really rotten, ten times worse than imagined, and the Kong family is no longer the emperor of the soil!
Are you still using the Yuan Dynasty era name? Hehe!
I miss the previous dynasty, it seems that I am not blessed with this Ming Dynasty! You should go to the grassland and bow down to your Great Yuan Emperor, also first?
He also died first, and you should follow suit!
Living in the world, if you are not loyal to Da Ming, you will be loyal to Da Yuan?
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were as bright as knives.
