Changde entered the main hall of Yongshou Palace, looking at the Empress Dowager Sun with her hair scattered, when she raised her head and saw the corners of her mouth, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Queen Mother, you, your face?" ”

Empress Dowager Sun wiped her tears and covered the corners of her red and swollen mouth: "It's nothing, that waste person doesn't dare to kill the mourning family, and he doesn't dare to touch you, live in peace." ”

This trace seems to be......

They've been in the palace for a long time......

Chang De hurriedly shook his head, didn't dare to think about it, and his tears couldn't stop flowing down: "He doesn't care about family affection at all!" ”

Empress Dowager Sun's eyes were sad, and she didn't know how long she would be tortured.

……

Silver Bureau.

Cai Kuan, the eunuch with palm prints, knelt on the ground, and all the personnel knelt on their knees.

Jin Zhong was dressed in a flying fish suit, holding an embroidered spring knife, majestic.

Shu Liang wore a brocade robe and carried a sword at his waist.

and Jin Zhong on the left and right, standing beside Zhu Qiyu.

Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and the Yulin avant-garde led by Li Jin escorted them together.

Zhu Qiyu sat on the chair, and the sinners on Wang Xi's list, all the people in the Yinzuo Bureau, as well as the eunuchs and eunuchs of the imperial horses, and the eunuchs and eunuchs all knelt on the ground.

With a snap, Jin Zhong threw a cut piece of silver on the ground.

"Let's see, is this craft from the silver bureau?" Jin Zhong asked.

Cai Kuan finished reading it and handed it to Ambassador Kong Zi.

Kong Zi was very embarrassed, he was promoted by Chen Xunbao, and he was appointed as the ambassador of the Banking Bureau, and he was also strongly recommended by Chen Xun.

Now that Chen Xun is dead, although the emperor has not investigated the Chen Party, he is particularly embarrassed as Chen Dang.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is from the Silver Bureau." Kong Zi didn't dare to hide it.

"Who did it?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

Kong Zi showed the silver to the craftsmen and circulated it to everyone, but no one got up to reply.

"Jin Zhong!" Zhu Qiyu called.

Jin Zhong lifted his robe, held the embroidered spring knife in his hand, strode down, drew the knife out of the sheath, and put it on Kong Zi's neck: "Say, is this silver from the silver bureau?" ”

The cold blade made Kong Zi tremble.

"Father-in-law Jin is from the Silver Bureau, but ...... Yes! Kong Zi didn't finish his words.

Jin Zhong cut off his ear with a knife!

Kong covered his bleeding ears and screamed.

"Don't scream!"

Jin Zhong roared: "Do you know! This silver is used by the traitor Wang Xi to hide secrets, how do you collude with Wang Xi in the silver bureau? Say! Admiral Ben spares your dog's life! ”

Kong Ziqiang endured the severe pain, his face full of horror.

Wang Xi is wanted by him, and he has already been beheaded all over the house.

How did it have anything to do with the silver bureau?

"Father-in-law Jin, the lower and lower officials really don't know!"

Kong Zi screamed, because Jin Zhong put the knife on his other ear, he cried and said, "This matter is not under the control of the lower officials, but by the supervisors!" ”

"It doesn't matter what it is, what kind of ambassador do you want to be? Yes! ”

Jin Zhong put the knife across his neck and slashed it directly!

Kong Zi's throat was cut open, and blood gushed out.

The entire Silver Bureau was frightened and stupid, and the dignified ambassador of the Silver Bureau said that he would die.

Is Jinyiwei actually so domineering?

The key emperor just looked at it, did the emperor want to make a silver game and kill a river of blood?

Cai Kuan softened and kowtowed to confess.

Because, Jin Zhong's eyes looked at him.

"Father-in-law Jin, the slave really doesn't know!"

Cai Kuan was frightened and stupid, and came on his knees: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life!" ”

Jin Zhong kicked him: "If you want to live, just find out the person who made this kind of silver to our family!" ”

"Slaves obey, slaves obey." Cai Kuan was stupid, he was not the emperor's person, he was a person from Xing'an.

Since the death of Xing'an, he has not dared to sleep every day.

Especially when he heard that the palace had driven the eunuchs and palace maids out of the palace, leaving only a few people to serve, he was even more afraid.

This morning he received the holy decree, and when His Majesty arrived, he vaguely guessed that something was going to happen, and he won the lottery.

"Father-in-law Jin, please give me a knife." Cai Kuan kowtowed.

"Call our Guardian." Jin Zhong beckoned, took a knife, and threw it on the ground.

"Slave and maid Xie Weidu!"

Cai Kuan picked up the knife and got up, his eyes were bloodthirsty, whoever doesn't let our family live, our family will let you die first!

The ambassador died, and there was the deputy envoy Cao Kun.

He put the knife on Cao Kun's neck, and Cao Kun was just a small subordinate official who could only bite.

Cai Kuan didn't want to do things desperately, so he pointed the knife at the person who Cao Kunpan bit out.

Jin Zhong coughed.

Cai Kuan trembled, the emperor is going to clean the silver game!

"How did you become a deputy envoy of the Silver Bureau?"

Cai Kuan put the knife on Cao Kun's neck again: "Say! Who did it! ”

"Xia Guan really doesn't know...... Yes! ”

Cai Kuan wiped his neck directly.

Then the knife was on the neck of Cao Huan, who was in charge, and Cao Huan just hesitated, and his neck was also wiped off.

In the blink of an eye, three people died in the silver bureau!

Lu Dian exclaimed: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, it's Liu Dazhuang's craftsmanship, it's Liu Dazhuang's craftsmanship!" ”

"Liu Dazhuang!"

Cai Kuan turned his head sharply and looked at the craftsman Liu Dazhuang.

Liu Dazhuang was so frightened that he was full of feces and urine.

Recruited everything.

He took Wang Xi's money and secretly made it for Wang Xi.

Jin Zhong patted Cai Kuan's face: "Good job." ”

Cai Kuan trembled and knelt down to thank him.

Then, pointing at Liu Dazhuang, his eyes were fierce: "Drag him out!" ”

He pointed at Lu Dian again: "He's also with him!" ”

Liu Dazhuang was dragged out by two brocade guards.

"How do you know it's Liu Dazhuang's craft? Are you involved? Jin Zhong didn't interrogate Liu Dazhuang, but stared at Lu Dian.

Lu Dian shook his head: "Governor Wei spares his life, the lower officials just recognize Liu Dazhuang's craftsmanship, and they definitely don't participate!" ”

"Just recognize?"

Jin Zhong walked to Wang Rui, who wrote the letter, and picked him up: "Do you recognize it?" ”

"Xia Guan is just writing, not in charge of the craftsmen of the Silver Bureau, he really doesn't know anything!" Wang Rui's face was full of horror.

"Our family is asking you, do you recognize it?" Jin Zhong stared at him.

Wang Rui shook his head.

Jin Zhong threw him away, grabbed another overseer, and asked him if he recognized him.

He also said he didn't recognize it.

Jin Zhong walked back and put the knife on Lu Dian's neck: "Everyone doesn't recognize it, why do you recognize it?" Lu Yishu, don't deceive our family! Our family is small-minded, and if we are deceived, we will take revenge! ”

Lu Dian glanced at the emperor in horror, and the emperor was seated, obviously supporting Jin Zhong.

He vaguely guessed what the emperor was looking for!

"Xia Guan just recognizes it, and he hasn't participated in it...... Yes! Lu Dian let out a scream.

One of his ears was chopped off by Jin Zhong.

"Do you know that Wang Xi conspired to rebel, and he hid the list of henchmen in this silver ingot!"

"Liu Dazhuang's private collection list shows that he also participated in the rebellion, you Lu Yishu just recognize Liu Dazhuang's craftsmanship, what a coincidence, those who sing opera dare not sing so coincidentally!"

"What? Are you in our brains? ”

Jin Zhong raised his knife and wanted to chop again: "Come on, go and arrest Lu Dian's family!" ”

"Don't, don't......" Lu Dian was full of horror.

But the embroidered spring knife fell, slashed on his shoulder, blood splattered, Lu Dian rolled and screamed: "The lower official has moved!" Give the next official a good time! ”

He admitted that he introduced Liu Dazhuang to Wang Xi.

"Who else?" Jin Zhong asked.

Lu Dian glanced at the other people in the Silver Bureau, and everyone in the Silver Bureau was full of horror, worried that Lu Dian would bite indiscriminately.

Jin Zhong pressed the blade against the back of his neck, and he cried and pointed out a few people.

"Governor Wei, the lower officials don't know that Wang Xi is a rebel, but he just took over a private job, beg Governor Wei to spare the lower officials' family!" Lu Dian cried.

Just take over the private work and fool the ghost!

Wang Xi used the silver to hide the secret, isn't it just a hint that the silver in the inner carrier warehouse was stolen by Zhang Xuan?

The silver in the inner carrier warehouse is engraved and does not dare to circulate blatantly.

The silver had to be recast by the hands of a silversmith.

Moreover, Wang Xi's henchmen were also recruited, and they did steal silver from the internal carrier treasury.

But where exactly it went, no one knows.

So, pry open the mouth of the craftsman.

What if there's a windfall?

Jin Zhong squatted down, pressed his head to look at the chopped ear, and said with a smile: "There is one less ear, so I won't delay my life." ”

"Lu Dian, there is something in our family that I want to ask you to help with, and it has been done, our family not only let your family go, but also let you go! How is it? ”

Lu Dian was in a desperate situation and nodded desperately.

"You don't have to be afraid, our family is not a man-eating tiger, relax, the emperor is watching, the emperor is the most merciful majesty in the world."

"Our methods were a little ruthless just now, please bear with me."

"Our family is also a slave, and the emperor has explained the matter, our family doesn't dare to be the slightest bit lazy, are you right?"

Jin Zhong observed Lu Dian, in fact, he was not satisfied with Cai Kuan killing everyone, Wang Xi was already dead, the line was broken, but he just dug up some henchmen.

The real purpose is the silver of the inner transport warehouse!

The emperor is short of silver, and he is about to go crazy, and in the entire palace, a decent thing is done, and the emperor is bitter.

"The lower officials don't dare to blame the guard, don't dare!" Lu Dian nodded again and again.

Jin Zhong was laughing: "Tell the Governor, has the Silver Bureau recently come in a disgraceful amount of silver?" ”

"Or is there a large number of craftsmen from the silver bureau who went out to take on private work?"

"Our family told you directly, that silver is the silver lost by the inner transport warehouse, and whoever touches it will lose his head; If you don't report it, you will destroy the nine clans! ”

Lu Dian's face changed.

Jin Zhong knew that he had asked the right person.

"You say it, how about our family intercede with the emperor and let you be the ambassador of the silver bureau?" Jin Zhong reassured him.

A glimmer of hope burst out of Lu Dian's despair.

But at this moment, Wang Rui, who had just written, suddenly charged: "I'll kill you dog eunuch!" ”

Burst!

Jin Zhong slashed his chest with a backhand, and blood splashed Lu Dian's face.

"The person is not dead, arrest him, don't cheap him, dare to assassinate Bendu? Throw into the edict and try slowly! ”

Jin Zhong showed a cruel smile on his face, squatted down again, and patted Lu Dian on the shoulder: "Say it!" ”

Lu Dian couldn't hold back, tears flowed wildly, and said a few names, someone wants to run, where can I run here?

Jin Zhong was stunned, it was so easy to get it back?

Is this the benefit of the emperor killing Chen Xun and controlling the court?

There is no way to hide any ghostly spirit.

According to the craftsman's confession, the silver was not entered into the silver bureau, but a supervisor named Liu Yan contacted the craftsmen of the silver bureau and took them to the mountains to refine the silver late every night.

Liu Yan confessed that the place where the silver was hidden was a barren mountain on the outskirts.

"Jin Zhong, take someone to copy it immediately! Be fast! Zhu Qiyu spoke.

"Slave obeys!" Jin Zhong knelt down to receive the order, and took Lu Dian, Liu Yan and others to find the barren mountain.

Zhu Qiyu slowly stood up and looked at the many craftsmen of the silver bureau who were kneeling on the ground.

"You were my most faithful slaves."

"But I don't want to be a den of thieves!"

"Find out the criminals, Zhu clan!"

"Supervisors and above, regardless of whether they know it or not, will be put to death!"

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were like knives: "Everyone in the Silver Bureau, etc., if they don't report it, they will be punished for three years!" ”

"Your Majesty spares your life! Your Majesty, I didn't participate, and I didn't know about it! "There is an overseer who complains.

"I don't know this, I don't know that, what kind of overseer do you do?"

"Overseer, overseer, I give you power, I have responsibility!"

"With power comes responsibility!"

Zhu Qiyu's eyes changed sharply: "Call the aggrieved, the Zhu clan!" ”

"From now on, the twelve prisons, four divisions and eight bureaus, according to the rules of the Qianqing Palace, will be formed in pairs and sitting! One person commits a crime, and two people are ambushed! Undefensible! ”

This is Zhu Qiyu's real purpose!

And the silver game is to kill the chicken and set an example for the monkey!

The eunuch Ruan Rang trembled, the emperor asked him to listen to the sound, he was beating him, obediently surrendering to the emperor, if he was half-hearted, the next one to be purged would be the imperial horse eunuch!

"Slaves and maids obey!" Ruan Rang prostrate on the ground, extremely respectful.

"Emperor, Emperor, the slave and maid helped you find out Lu Dian, and the Wei Governor promised the slave and maid to spare the slave and maid!" Cai Kuan crawled over, crying and begging for mercy.

"Heh, Cai Kuan, you are the admiral eunuch, my inner carrier warehouse was stolen, you know that there is a sum of money in the barren mountains outside the city, but you don't report it, and you still have the face to beg me for mercy?"

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Jin Zhong promised you, you go to Jin Zhong." ”

He moved his fingers.

Without waiting for Cai Kuan to speak, Dongchang Fanzi directly cut his head.

What is the use of this kind of garbage that eats inside and outside?

"Those who are implicated with Wang Xi are even more implicated, and the clan will be punished! Those who are lightly implicated will be reduced to artisans and charged into various bureaus. ”

Zhu Qiyu raised his noble hand and did not kill too much.

Immediately, his eyes looked at Ruan Rang.

"Emperor, the slave and maid are loyal to you, and they have no two hearts!" Ruan Jean kowtowed like pounding garlic.

There are very few people who send charcoal in the snow, and the icing on the cake abounds.

In the past, when I was in dire need of people, there was no one to help me; Now that I have so much power, I am like a dog, which is ridiculous.

"Get up, and follow me to see the horse army." Zhu Qiyu wants to hold the last force in Beijing in the palm of his hand.

The Imperial Horse Warden is in the northeast corner, while the Silver Bureau is in the southwest corner, which is just symmetrical.

On the way, Zhu Qiyu asked Li Jin if he was willing to take over the Ma Army.

"Your Majesty, the minister is worried about your safety!" Of course, Li Jin wanted to supervise the horse army.

"It's okay, there's no danger in the palace."

Chen Xun is dead, the imperial power is in his hands, who will be stupid to follow the rebellion?

Don't take the common people for fools.

Isn't it fragrant to sell your life to the emperor?

If you have to put your head on the waistband of your pants to rebel, what do you want?

Now it is different from the past, the emperor has grasped the imperial power, and he can reward him lavishly, and when the silver in the inner carrier treasury is recovered, the emperor's waist pole will be even harder.

The possibility of a second snatch is gone.

"You recommend two people from the Yulin avant-garde to me, and they will be in charge of the Yulin avant-garde, and I can sleep peacefully." Zhu Qiyu is very confident.

"Obey the order!"

Li Jin smiled, this is the benefit of taking refuge in the emperor.

The horse army, under the jurisdiction of the warrior battalion and the four guard battalions, are all elite people in the world.

Of course, it is unknown whether the horse army is elite now.

"Okay, I ordered you to command the horse army, under the jurisdiction of the warrior battalion and the four guard battalions, you select the available talents in the battalion, and send those who are not available back to the guard, and when this battle is over, then select the strong from the world's guards and join the horse army."

Taizu set up a horse army to prevent rape and insults, which is the last line of defense in the palace, and it should be the eunuchs who hold the military power.

But Zhu Qiyu doesn't plan to raise the horse army in Beijing.

Rather, it is to be pulled to the battlefield to fight.

This horse army will become his first descendant army.

Therefore, the eunuch cannot be allowed to fully control the military power, nor can the military power be completely handed over to Li Jin.

"I will let Zhao Shun go over to cooperate with you, Zhao Shun is an honest man and will not interfere in any of your decisions."

Zhu Qiyu gave Li Jin a reassurance: "Zhao Shun is the commander and eunuch, you are the commander for the time being, and when the time is ripe, I will appoint you as the chief soldier." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Jin understands that all armies have eunuchs as supervisors, and this Zhao Shun knows that he is indeed an honest man, and the emperor did not send the old man out to take care of him.

"I will give you twelve thousand people."

Zhu Qiyu glanced at him, and his tone was cold: "The set of border passes and Beijing camps, don't take them to the horse breeding army, you know?" ”

"The minister knows!" Li Jin trembled, the root cause of Xuanzhen's defeat, I am afraid that the emperor already knows it in his heart.

"You don't have to worry about the military salary, if the household department doesn't come out, the internal money comes out, I will send someone to the bottom to ask, every soldier must receive the actual salary, you know?" Zhu Qiyu's voice was cold.

The military salary of the Ming Dynasty is really outrageously low, but it is good that the front-line soldiers can get one-tenth, so they don't work hard in training and don't work hard in war.

It's so bad, didn't it fight the North for more than 200 years!

Who said that there are no men in the Ming Dynasty?

"The minister will never dare to touch a penny of military salary!" Li Jin kowtowed.

"In the horse army, whoever touches and kills whom! This is the power I have given you! Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly.

"Obey the order!"

Zhu Qiyu's tone eased: "I have prepared your share for you, and I have also given the share of officers at all levels, can I?" ”

Li Jin was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and he didn't even dare to say anything.

"You don't want it, but the people below have to ask for it, and I will make a statement in the future, and you can just pay according to the above."

It is impossible for Zhu Qiyu to raise the military salary, he does not have so much money.

Moreover, if the horse raising army is to be adjusted, won't all the guards in the world follow suit? Do you force people to rebel?

If you want to go up, you have to go up.

Therefore, directly raising military salaries is an act of looking for death.

You can only give a little reward in the way of giving.

Can't you reward too much, and if you raise horses for nothing, just because the emperor likes it, you will give more rewards? Border passes, Beijing camp uniforms?

That's not a reward, it's a turmoil factor.

This is Zhu Qiyu beating Li Jin.

"Li Jin, I will hand over the horse raising army to you and give you expedient rights, but I want to see the result!" Zhu Qiyu's eyes sharpened.

"The minister guarantees with his life, and in three months, let His Majesty see a strong army!" Li Jin was also ruthless.

"Good! The elite is not in the crowd, but the few are also the elite! I'll hand over the horse army to you! ”

Zhu Qiyu believes in Li Jin, because after all, the horse army has a foundation, and if he cleans up a batch and practices for three months, he will always be able to achieve some results.

"Li Jin, this horse army is going to gallop to Mobei in the future, you have to train me well." Zhu Qiyu patted him on the shoulder and asked him to step back.

Zhao Shun came over again and explained a few words.

"I went to the horse army, you are my eyes, report what you see to me from time to time, and you are not allowed to add personal emotions, you know?"

Zhao Shun's face was reluctant: "The slave and maid receive the order." ”

"Don't stretch out your hand indiscriminately, in this horse army, don't do this, don't dirty my army, understand?" Zhu Qiyu knocked him.

"The slave knows! If the emperor asks him to take it, the slave and maid dare to take it. Zhao Shun crawled on the ground.

Zhu Qiyu bowed his head: "Not only can't you stretch out your hand, but if you stretch out, you will chop off his claws for me!" Remember, the horse army is mine, and any tentacles that come in will be chopped up by me! ”

"Slave understands!" Zhao Shun has been in the palace for so many years, he doesn't understand anything, but he is honest in front of the emperor.

"Go ahead."

Zhu Qiyu asked the imperial eunuch to stop: "The Imperial Horse Supervisor will not go, pass on the holy decree, and in three months, I will go to the Imperial Horse Prison again." ”

Ruan Rang was stunned for a moment, but almost cried when he heard the holy decree.

The emperor has hollowed out his power as a eunuch with the seal of the imperial horse supervisor.

However, it is much better than the end of the silver game.

"Ruan Rang, in three months, I want to see the results." Zhu Qiyu warned him, if you dare to make a trip, you will want your head in three months.

"Slaves and maids obey the emperor's holy decree!"

Ruan Rang wanted to cry, but the emperor could listen to his words squarely, and if he made results within three months, he would be favored by the emperor.

"Go back to the palace."

Zhu Qiyu temporarily changed his decision because Huai En came to report that Fang Ying and Shi Pu had entered Beijing and were on their way to the palace.

After a stick of incense, Zhu Qiyu was eating.

Fang Ying and Shi Pu entered the Qinzheng Palace.

"Two Aiqing, I am looking forward to the stars and the moon, and I finally hope that you will return to Beijing!" Zhu Qiyu looked excited.

Fang Ying was picked up by him, he took his father's position as a commander, and later was knighted Nanhe for his merits, so it can be said that Fang Ying is his descendant.

It's just that Fang Ying doesn't stand in line.

Now that the situation is clear, there is no need to worry about Fang Ying defecting to the emperor.

Shi Pu is interesting, in order to be promoted, he bribed Jin Ying, and he was beheaded according to the law, which was guaranteed by him Zhu Qiyu.

He also does not participate in party disputes, but he is good friends with Li Xian.

"Your Majesty, do you use this for dinner?" Shi Pu looked at the porridge and pickles on the table and was taken aback.

"Alas, Lao Shangshu, the court is difficult, I can only take the lead, eat this, I hope that the subjects can also be like me, and get through the difficulties with the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Qiyu was coy.

"It's good to teach Shi Shangshu to know that the emperor has been eating porridge and pickles for half a month, and even the people who are waiting in the palace have sent it out." Feng Xiao sold miserably on the side.

Shi Pu was moved to tears: "How virtuous is there in the world, why don't you worry!" ”

"Old Shangshu, Nan Hebo, tell me about Huguang first." Zhu Qiyu asked people to give them a seat, and he ate up the uneaten porridge before letting people remove it.

"Then I'll ask Nan Hebo to tell me."

Fang Ying said from the beginning of entering Yuanzhou, counting more than 160 villages such as the ghost board.

He and Shangshu Shipu moved to Tianzhu, led Li Zhen, Chen You and others to attack Heaven and other villages, and broke the rebels.

A total of 270 villages were conquered, and 100 and 2 people below the pseudo-Hou Bo were captured.

"When the minister left, according to the holy decree, the military power was handed over to the governor Li Zhen and Chen You, Li Zhen was the chief soldier, and Chen You was the deputy chief soldier."

Fang Ying said: "The minister thinks that Huguang Miao is in chaos, but the land of Huguang is completely rotten, and the displaced people are everywhere, and there is no way to recuperate!" ”

Quelling the Miao Rebellion is a military means, and if you want to restore peace in the vast area of the lake, you need political means.

"The old minister thinks that Huguang should focus on Fu, and it is best for the court to come up with a large sum of money and grain, change the land and return it to the stream, resettle the displaced people on the spot, and exempt Huguang from paying taxes for a few more years, and Huguang can be settled." Shi Pu said seriously.

"How much does Lao Shangshu think it will cost?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"I'm afraid it will take a million taels." Shi Pu smiled bitterly.

"So much?" Zhu Qiyu was also taken aback.

"Your Majesty doesn't know."

Fang Ying answered: "The chaos in Huguang, not only the people of Huguang, but also the displaced people from all over the world are going to Huguang. ”

"According to the report of the magistrate, there are more than one million displaced people in Huguang, but according to the minister's estimate, it is actually more than one million."

"There are a few villages, at first the minister thought it was a Miao person, but the minister looked at the clothes and clothes were no different from the Han family, and only after inquiring did he know that they were all runaways and had been living in the village for many years."

"Such villages abound, and the accent is not from Huguang, but everywhere."

Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up, Huguang officialdom should be killed!

Morning and evening, Qinghu Guang officialdom!

"Lao Shangshu said one million taels, but the minister thinks that it may not be enough."

"If the court really gives Huguang money, it will resettle the displaced people."

"I'm afraid it will attract people from all over the world to Huguang, such as ...... today"

Fang Ying suddenly realized something, and didn't dare to continue.

"Nan Hebo, you don't need to have any scruples when you talk to me."

"I know that this prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty is nothing more than whitewashing the peace."

"There are people everywhere outside the capital, let alone the place?" Zhu Qiyu told the truth.

Fang Ying was slightly surprised, the emperor seemed to be a little different.

Shi Pu knew something, and Li Xian often corresponded to him, so he knew about the changes in the court.

It turns out that in the past eight years, the emperor has been pretending to be stupid.

Now that he is in charge of the sword of the world, I don't know if he will become Jianwen or Taizong?

Fang Ying gritted her teeth and said: "When the minister entered the capital, there were many displaced people in the suburbs of Beijing, and the minister was worried that if it continued like this, I am afraid that there would be displaced people to make trouble!" ”

He didn't dare to elaborate, fearing that the emperor would be furious.

"There shouldn't be a rebellion, although there are many displaced people, but I have already issued a clear decree to order temples and Taoist temples to go outside the city for relief, and they can always eat a mouthful of food, and they won't die of hunger if they don't have enough to eat." Zhu Qiyu chuckled.

But Fang Ying didn't dare to speak.

The smile on Zhu Qiyu's face stiffened: "Nan Hebo, I said something wrong?" ”

"Your Majesty is not wrong!" Fang Ying was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and remained silent.

"What do you see? Fang Ying, say! Zhu Qiyu's voice became cold.

Fang Ying knew that she had said the wrong thing, there was such a scene outside the city, no one in the court said a word, didn't no one dare to lift the lid.

I am also stupid, obviously I don't involve party disputes, I want to protect myself, why am I happy, say bald, say everything!

How does this end?

"Your Majesty, the top priority now is Xuanfu and Shandong." Shi Pu relieved Fang Ying.

Zhu Qiyu restrained his murderous intentions: "What Lao Shangshu said is very true, but I don't want to be blind, deaf, or foolish!" Fang Ying, say! ”

"Your Majesty please calm your anger first!"

Fang Ying knew, so she didn't say no: "Outside the city, the number of displaced people is counted in tens of thousands. ”

"Every day, there are cases of selling children and daughters."

"The minister saw with his own eyes a man with two children, kneeling in front of the minister's horse, begging the minister to buy them."

"That man's belly is bulging, he should have eaten Guanyin soil, I'm afraid he won't survive."

"There are also women who can do anything as long as they are given a bite to eat......"

Selling sons and daughters?

Women are out of line?

This is the image of troubled times!

Zhu Qiyu felt a chill down his spine, if there were ambitious people who provoked it, I am afraid it would be an endless rebellion.

At that time, the world will be full of smoke, in case there will be another Emperor Taizu!

"What about alms? There is also money in the palace, my imperial village and imperial store, all of them have paid money, I have approved the slips, every day, I have paid the money. Zhu Qiyu still has a glimmer of hope.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister walked more than ten miles, but I didn't see a soup kitchen!"

"What?"

Zhu Qiyu stood up suddenly, picked up Fang Ying, and looked hideous: "You haven't seen any of them?" ”

"Impossible, I approve the slip every day!"

"There are also temples and Taoist temples, and I have made a clear decree that each temple must set up a porridge shed outside the city to help the homeless, why not?"

He let go of Fang Ying, this was not Fang Ying's guilt.

muttered to himself: "Is it so difficult to give the people a way to live?" ”

"You all enjoy the brocade clothes and jade food, the wife and the concubine, you have everything!"

"I have given you everything you want, why are you still so greedy? Won't you give the people a way to live? ”

"Forcing them to rebel?"

"Forcing them into the city?"

"Do you want to force the world to produce another Taizu?"

"Forcing Daming to overturn?"

Zhu Qiyu's emotions couldn't be controlled.

He always thought that today's Daming was a little rotten at best, but he didn't expect that it was rotten! It's rotten to the bone!

When did it start rotting?

Renzong? Xuanzong? Or is it too emperor?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Shi Pu called a few times.

"I, I always thought that I was qualified as an emperor, but I didn't want to, it's a joke!"

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were as bright as knives: "Spread the message!" Gather all the eunuchs and stewards of the Huangzhuang and Huangdian in Beijing, and listen to the order at noon! ”

Only blood can extinguish Zhu Qiyu's anger.

"Emperor!" Feng Xiao knelt on the ground in horror.

He didn't worry about killing some eunuchs and stewards, he was worried that the emperor would do something to temples and Taoist temples, it was a hornet's nest, and he couldn't touch it.

"Go!"

Zhu Qiyu blew up.

But both Fang Ying and Shi Pu knelt down and asked the emperor to calm his anger.

"I'll dispose of my own house slaves! Isn't it possible? ”

Zhu Qiyu is not crazy yet, temples and Taoist temples are hornet's nests, and they can't be poked, are Huangzhuang and Huangdian also hornet's nests?

"Your Majesty!" Fang Ying regretted it incomparably, I was afraid that if his words spread today, he would be scolded to death by the monks, and he might even die directly.

"It's okay, your words won't get out, don't worry."

Zhu Qiyu took a few breaths and calmed down: "Let Lao Shangshu and Nan Hebo see the jokes, I really can't hold back, I lost my words." ”

"Your Majesty loves the people, and the ministers empathize!" Shi Pu patted a sycophant.

This is a gesture of goodwill to the emperor.

"Fang Ying, don't you have any porridge sheds in temples and Taoist temples?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.

Fang Ying wanted to smoke herself to death, but she still had to say: "Back to Your Majesty, there is, but there is no porridge in the porridge shed, and you can only eat porridge if you sell your children to temples or Taoist temples." ”

"Huh!" Zhu Qiyu was happy and laughed miserably.

It's a human trafficker!

Worse than human traffickers!

What do you believe? Demons? Hehe!

The monk is a hornet's nest, and I can't afford to mess with it!

But the wicked still need to be grinded.

Wait and see!

I am the master of the world!

"Nan Hebo is at ease, every word you say in the Qinzheng Palace can't be transmitted!" Zhu Qiyu has this self-confidence.

Shi Pu was slightly surprised, he was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and he knew the emperor's dilemma in the past eight years.

But I don't want to, after a few months, the emperor's power has swelled to such a point.

"That's it, let's not talk about it."

Zhu Qiyu smiled: "Fang Ying, I originally planned to let you enter the Beijing camp, but now that the Beijing camp is on the march, there are no soldiers in the camp. ”

"But I plan to train the regimental battalion, which was originally ten regimental battalions, and I plan to add two more, twelve regimental battalions."

"Before, when Young Master Yu and Shi Heng reformed the Beijing camp, the reform was not complete, and when the Beijing camp returned to Beijing, I planned to disrupt it again and reform it thoroughly."

Speaking of this, Zhu Qiyu looked at Shi Pu: "Lao Shangshu also knows that Xuanzhen was defeated in the first battle and suffered heavy losses, even if he wins a big victory in the future, it is impossible to say how many people can return to Beijing." ”

The three people in the palace sighed.

Shi Pu and Fang Ying had just returned to Beijing, and they didn't dare to put their beaks casually, so they only listened to the emperor.

"So train two more regiments and battalions, with a real amount of 15,000 people, and I will hand over both regiments and battalions to you! You are the chief officer! Stamped with the gold seal of the Military Aircraft Department! ”

Zhu Qiyu is going to retract his military power in a big way, and no one can stop it!

"The soldiers are not selected from the guards, first, there is no time, and second, when the Beijing camp returns to Beijing, they still need to replenish the soldiers from the guards."

"I plan to recruit from Beijing on the spot."

Zhu Qiyu slowed down again: "If you can, recruit some from the homeless, and I can give them some land as appropriate." ”

This......

Fang Ying's face changed instantly, this is another hornet's nest!

Gyeonggi refugees, but the source of powerful tenants in Beijing, is also the source of miscellaneous servants of monks.

If the regimental battalion recruits from the homeless people again, I am afraid it will be ominous!

"Scared?"

Zhu Qiyu laughed: "I sent eunuchs to recruit, and you trained the troops." ”

Fang Ying was roasted on the fire!

The emperor forced him to be a lonely minister, and he controlled the power of the heavy army in Gyeonggi, and the emperor was not at ease, so he forced him to break off from the powerful people in Beijing.

This hand of the emperor's mind is brilliant!

"The minister is not afraid, the minister is willing to recruit among the homeless!" Fang Ying gritted her teeth and said.

"Okay, I will give you the Sword of the Son of Heaven, the blocker, don't ask who it is, kill it directly! Fight with you for the soldiers, kill! ”

The corners of Zhu Qiyu's mouth curled: "Fang Ying, your second son is ten years old this year, right?" I'm not mistaken, I see that your son Fang Han is about the same age as Gu'an, so why don't I settle a family with you? ”

Fang Ying was taken aback, her son Princess Shang, this is the Holy Grace!

Shi Pu was also secretly shocked, the emperor only has two daughters, the youngest daughter is sick, the eldest princess is quite loved by the emperor, but she wants to marry Fang Ying's second son, it can be seen that the emperor has no weight to use Fang Ying, so he is willing to give up such blood!

That is to say, the emperor didn't just want Fang Ying to control the two regiments and battalions, but more......

Do you want to replace Yu Qian with him?

"Your Majesty, the dog of the minister, how did you still get a princess?" Fang Ying was a little scared.

Once he married the emperor and had a family of children, he could only run all the way to the dark.

This is contrary to his code of not forming a party and protecting himself wisely.

Fang Ying is not afraid of going to the battlefield, but in the court, he is easy to be played to death.

"This matter is settled, there is no need to discuss it."

Zhu Qiyu made the final decision.

The reason why he chose Fang Ying was that on the one hand, Fang Ying had the ability to fight, and on the other hand, Fang Ying had two good subordinates, Li Zhen and Chen You, both of whom were talented generals, and he needed to rely on them.

"Obey the order!" Fang Ying kowtowed to the order.

"I love Gu'an very much, Fang Qing can rest assured."

Zhu Qiyu told him that although Princess Gu'an's mother was the deposed queen Wang, it could not offset the emperor's love for his daughter.

"Princess Fang Han Nengshang is a blessing that he has cultivated in several lifetimes!" Fang Ying's reluctance in her heart also had to be suppressed.

"Let Fang Yi enter the palace tomorrow to accompany him."

Zhu Qiyu also had to take an insurance, Fang Ying's eldest son Fang Yi entered the palace as a hostage.

"Obey the order!"

But at this time, an urgent report from outside the palace came in.

"The two of you love Qing and slow, let's watch it together."

Zhu Qiyu opened the chapter, glanced at it, and immediately frowned: "The old lady really expected things like a god, and the extra 40,000 enemy troops in Xuanzhen really came from the northwest!" ”

Guo Deng, the general soldier of Datong, sent a report that on the 22nd day of the first month, some people were looted.

At the beginning, many guards in Datong Town didn't care, but after the Kansai Zhufan was robbed, they came to Datong for help, but Guo Deng refused in the name of announcing the town's emergency.

Later, some people were robbed of their eyes, ran to Datong to loot, and were repelled by the Datong town guards.

Guo Dengcai sent someone to investigate and learned that the Kansai Zhufan had been robbed by the Warat people.

This group of Warat soldiers descended from the sky again, descended on Xuanfu, and defeated Yang Xin's generals.

"Old Shangshu, you are also in charge of military affairs."

After the two finished reading, Zhu Qiyu asked Shi Pu: "When Warat is repulsed, can I take the opportunity to recover the land of the Hetao?" ”

Shi Pu had already guessed the emperor's thoughts, the emperor was going to be Taizong!

"Your Majesty, the Hetao is barren, and it is easy for my Ming army to take back the Hetao, but it is difficult to govern!" Shi Pu smiled bitterly.

Speaking of which, there is just no money!

If you want to collect the Hetao, you have to throw silver into it!

Even, as long as you take possession of the Hetao, you have to keep throwing silver into it, which is a bottomless pit.

However, the strategic value of the Hetao is self-evident, and it is the territory of the Han family, and it is really impossible to explain it if it is not recovered.

"Old Shangshu, how much silver do you estimate you need?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.

Seeing that the emperor's heart of collecting Hehuang would not die, Shi Pu could only estimate a number: "Five or six hundred thousand taels of silver, it should be enough, and the old minister does not dare to say death, but this money has to be invested every year." ”

Zhu Qiyu smacked his tongue, how much silver did Daming only collect in a year.

These hundreds of thousands of taels, those hundreds of thousands of taels, how can they be shared!

"Moreover, the food problem is the most difficult to solve, the grain grown in the Hetao is difficult to be self-sufficient, and it is necessary to transport grain from the south. Shi Pu explained.

If you want to solve the problem of the Hetao, the first difficulty is silver and grain.

"I see." Zhu Qiyu sighed.

This is not something that can be solved with corn, and the yield per mu of corn in this era is probably not high.

But if corn can be grown in the Hetao, the food problem should be alleviated, right?

Zhu Qiyu can't make up his mind, let's take a look.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a question for Your Majesty." Shi Pu endured it for a long time before asking.

"You say."

"Your Majesty will train the regimental camp again, where will the salary come from?" Shi Pu was puzzled.

"Get out of the house."

Zhu Qiyu understood that Shi Pu was asking, do you need civil officials to guard it.

"Originally, I planned to let Li Bing and Fang Ying cooperate, but Xuanzhen couldn't do without Li Bing, and I sent Nianfu over, they are all soldiers, I really don't have anyone in my heart, can Lao Shangshu recommend a Wenchen who understands military affairs to assist Fang Ying?"

Zhu Qiyu didn't tear his face with the civil official, so naturally he couldn't change the rules.

When Shi Pu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "The old minister has a candidate, Kou Shen." ”

Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up.

He was worried about how to arrange Kou Shen before, Kou Shen's qualifications were too high, and if he was put into the General Administration Department, Wang Fu might not be easy to deal with.

Let Kou Shen help Fang Ying take charge of the regimental camp, which can calm Wenchen's heart and Zhu Qiyu's heart.

Why not.
