In front of the map, Zhu Qiyu marked all the places of rebellion.

"Emperor, should you transfer the Northern Army to escort you?" Feng Xiao asked in a low voice.

"See this map of rebellion? See what's coming? Zhu Qiyu didn't answer, but asked him.

"Jiangnan people are unreliable?" Feng Xiao asked.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "It has nothing to do with the region, from the map, it can be seen that most of the guards are oriented to the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Of course, the emperor, after eight years from Jingtai, how much money have you spent to improve the living conditions of the guards."

"These rebellious bastards should all be exterminated!"

"How good the emperor is to them, they dare to rebel, wolf-hearted thing!"

Don't blame Feng Xiao for being angry.

In the tenth year of Jingtai, the internal treasury took out 20 million taels of silver to improve the residence and food of the soldiers of the world's guards, and provided the military subsidies for the previous ten years.

And appropriately opened the door for the conversion of military registration to civilian registration, and for the guards who have no fighting spirit, all of them have been converted to civilian registration.

All the health centers in the world are appropriately dismantled, and those who have been laid off are given retirement pensions, discharge allowances, and are responsible for finding a livelihood, all of which have been converted into household registration, and none of the military fields and houses have been taken back, and a set of farm tools and a certificate of loyalty to the country have been given.

Just like planting trees, all of them are contracted to the demobilized guards, and some are paid by the center to let the guards raise trees, just to find a livelihood.

Twenty million taels of silver, the guards of the world are all stained with benefits!

Zhu Qiyu is ready to take out another 20 million taels of silver in the next three years to subsidize the guards.

And be fully responsible for the assignment of work after the transfer.

"Feng Xiao, do you know why I can sit here and be safe and sound?"

Zhu Qiyu asked and answered himself: "Because I have money, Jingtai has been ten years, I have scattered so much money, and the military and people in the world have benefited." ”

"That's why the rebellion was confined to a few places, not the whole of Jiangnan."

"Actually, I've been pushed down another path."

"As long as I have money, my throne will be stable, and once I have no money and can't benefit the military and people of the world, it's time to change the emperor."

That's right.

The hearts of the army are bought!

Zhu Qiyu is like a gentleman, he throws money when he sees people, and he buys the world safely.

He is the most generous in rewarding low-level soldiers, and the reward for middle- and high-ranking officers is also the highest.

Like Wang Yue and Fang Ying, the former was crowned a marquis by recovering Korea, and the latter would be honored as a prince of the country, which was simply impossible in the Hongwu Dynasty, and it was also far away in the Yongle Dynasty.

Don't look at the fact that he didn't give the world coupon, as long as he is knighted, the descendants don't stand in the wrong line, the world coupons will definitely be issued, as long as the emperor's son succeeds smoothly, there is no problem of standing in line.

In the same way, if the emperor does not give the world coupon, it proves that no one has a high merit to cover the master, and the lord should also be at ease, and there is no need to worry about the master being killed, so no one cares.

Including the natives of Liangguang Yungui, Zhu Qiyu is also spending money to buy and buy the stability of these places.

In the entire Mobei, Zhu Qiyu is smashing it with money.

The large-scale construction of Mobei is completely a loss of money, this is throwing money to everyone's satisfaction, only the emperor himself is losing.

Don't look at the officials in the world, they are tired like a dog every day, but this is the prosperous era that the civil officials want to seek, and with these merits, their descendants will become a top gentry.

Wuxun has meritorious deeds, literati have work to do, people have land to plant and work to do, and everyone in the world has been bought by the emperor.

Therefore, as long as the emperor is rich, his throne is as stable as Mount Tai.

"Emperor, so you must come to Jiangnan?" Feng Xiao asked.

"Yes, just like you calculated for me, I have no money, and I have to find a way to make money."

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Don't look at Xing Guogong and the old lady obstructing my southern tour, once I run out of money, they will be more anxious than anyone else." ”

"Because they didn't have a chance to rebel against me, the new king ascended the throne, and they were the first to be killed."

"Unless my son succeeds him."

"But my son is too young."

"This is also the old lady, please me, after returning to Beijing, immediately change the prince, so that the subjects of the world can rest assured."

"I have many sons, one dies and the other is replaced, as long as it is my son, they will be on the right side, the wealth of the descendants will be extremely long, and the old lady can close her eyes."

"So, if you look at this picture again, you will understand."

"The hearts of Jiangnan people are in me!"

Yes, the rebels were all in remote areas, as well as the salt merchants that Song Wei wanted to investigate, and the others didn't seem to have rebelled.

Chen Wuyang arrested more than a dozen commanders, and only three or four rebelled.

It's not that they don't want to rebel, but the soldiers who benefited are not willing to rebel, and they follow the emperor to eat well.

Even miners, salters, and caodings have received a lot of subsidies this year, and they are definitely not willing to rebel.

"Emperor, if you don't have money, what will you do?" Feng Xiao was worried that his net worth and life were also concerned about the emperor.

Look at these people promoted by the emperor, once the emperor is gone, they will all be liquidated.

"What does it mean to have no money?"

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Jiangnan must have money, I will get it at all costs." ”

"If I run out of money, the throne will be shaky."

"I have offended all levels of society, and no one is my diehard."

"At the same time, all levels of society have received my favor."

"It's a weird balance."

"Therefore, as long as I can continue to show grace, then all walks of life in the world will continue to support me, and my throne will be as stable as Mount Tai."

"Grace cannot cease, neither can my money."

Zhu Qiyu can see through.

The Ming class mainly includes the bureaucratic class, the gentry class, the landlord class, the lord class, the guard class, and the peasant class.

was offended by Zhu Qiyu all over the place, and in the same way, he also benefited all over again.

Once he can't continue to give small favors, the emperor will be attacked by a group, so Zhu Qiyu insisted on going his own way and wanted to come to Jiangnan to make money.

"Emperor, why are you doing this?" Feng Xiao was distressed.

Zhu Qiyu tilted his head and glanced at him: "Feng Xiao, if I don't do it, how can the imperial power be demonstrated?" How do I collect power? ”

"If the power is not in my hands, my life will be in the hands of others."

"It's not that I'm great, it's that there are too many people who think about this chair."

Zhu Qiyu meant that the Ming Emperor had a short life.

Even Emperor Xiaozong, who was fooled and lame by civil officials, didn't he die in vain? Maybe it's because he understands how the game works, or maybe the civil officials think he's too easy to control and want to change the challenge to a challenge that's not easy to control.

Anyway, if you don't toss, you'll die.

He must create a balance between all classes so that he can be as stable as Mount Tai and live a long life.

Feng Xiao didn't understand: "Emperor, but the clan? ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Some people can be emperors in the people." ”

"Even if he kneels at my feet, maybe he's better than I say."

"This emperor is not about whether he wears a dragon robe or not, nor is it about which chair he sits."

"It's about power, how much you can control!"

"Alright, let's not talk about that."

"The people who transferred Shuliang to defend the imperial city, these people secretly set up a battalion to select the front, and did not set up a military horn first, and then set up a military horn when it appeared in the future, and Shu Liang was still the commander and eunuch of this battalion."

After Zhu Qiyu stayed in the Forbidden City of Nanjing, he sent all the people from the original palace out, and they were still the old men of the Forbidden City in Beijing.

In front of the Kuling Pass.

Yang Xin couldn't believe that his Tiger and Leopard Army, which was the elite of the elite, was defeated?

The key is that judging from the information of the garrison mansion, Xu Xin only has 764 people in his hands.

How can they resist the tens of thousands of Haw Par Army?

The key Kuling Pass is not a moat, after the Ming Dynasty moved the capital, this pass was expanded by business travel, and there are several roads to go to the pass.

"My lord, something is wrong with this pass, it seems that there are a lot of people guarding the pass."

Yang Xin also found out.

He attacked inside and outside, and sent people to attack the key points on several roads at the same time, but they were all repulsed.

"When it gets dark, smash the fire bomb on the shut!"

Yang Xin wanted to see who the demons and monsters were who they were.

Before it got dark, someone outside the camp came to surrender to Cheng, saying that he was a soldier on the Kuling Pass.

But the direction he came from was Guangdezhou.

It was only after interrogation that it was learned.

The soldiers on the pass were unwilling to follow Xu Xin to rebel, and a number of them were killed, and some of the soldiers fled to the pass, and he was one of them.

According to the soldier's confession, there were no more than ten people who were willing to follow Xu Xin to rebel.

This is interesting, Xu Xin is an immortal? Can you sprinkle beans into soldiers?

Evening.

The Haw Par Army dropped fire bombs on the city.

Hundreds of bombs exploded, and the whole city was filled with screams.

After burning for 45 minutes, the Haw Par Army seized the city.

The battle lasted an hour and a half, and it took three hours for it to be completely over.

There were 3,000 people who surrendered!

Nearly 1,000 people were killed and more than 2,000 escaped.

"There are more than 6,000 people on the Kuling Pass?"

Yang Xin wanted to interrogate Xu Xin, but Xu Xin had already been burned to death.

After interrogation, it was revealed that these were the family members of several gentry families in Guangdezhou.

As soon as the morning dawned, Yang Xin led troops to surround Guangdezhou, but Guangde Zhizhou refused to open the city gate, even if Yang Xin showed his identity, Zhizhou still refused to open the door.

Yang Xin ordered to storm Guangdezhou.

At the same time, Yang Xin sent good news to the palace.

"Spread the edict to Yang Xin, arrest all the officials up and down in Guangdezhou, all the merchants, gentry, landlords, and rich households! Arrest them all! ”

Zhu Qiyu will never tolerate adultery: "All prisoners will be loaded and sent to Jiaozhi, and they will not be allowed to return to the mainland without an edict." ”

But Feng Xiao stood cautiously at the door.

"What?"

Feng Xiao knelt on the ground, his tone panicked and frightened: "Emperor, Beijing Emergency, there are rumors in the Beijing Division that you are not the first emperor's son!" ”

Zhu Qiyu's pupils shrank: "What can be found in the capital and the West Factory?" ”

"Back to the emperor, I didn't find it!"

The entire Qianqing Palace was waiting for the people, and they all knelt on the ground.

I thought it would be a storm.

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "It turns out that in their eyes, this is my seven inches." ”

"Ignore it, continue to counter-insurgency."

"Tell all the armies, be sure to hold the state capitals, and no one is allowed to leave the garrison without the will of the emperor."

However.

The news from Beijing existed like an explosion in Nanjing.

It seems that overnight, the south of the Yangtze River has spread that the emperor is not the son of the first emperor, but the orphan of the king of Han!

Smack!

The Empress Dowager Sun in Renshou Palace was drinking sugar water when the spoon fell to the ground.

"Who passed it on?"

The most frightened person was her!

Don't forget, this is her bargaining chip to blackmail the emperor, and it is this secret that she and the king of Wajun can be safe and sound.

However, the secret is revealed, and her chips are gone!

The most terrifying thing is that this will touch the emperor's scales, and she is finished.

"What nonsense?"

Empress Dowager Wu of Xian'an Palace was trembling: "My son is the son of the first emperor, he is the son of the child!" ”

"Please, please come over!"

Her greatest fear was not rumors, but how the emperor would quell them.

There is no way to prove the emperor's bloodline.

And the way to quell the rumors is to invite the Empress Dowager Wu to die, if you die, as soon as the history books are changed, the rumors will be suppressed.

"Queen Mother, the emperor is busy with things and has no time to come to Xian'an Palace."

Empress Dowager Wu trembled, the emperor was going to give her up!

Also frightened was Changde.

She once made a deal with the emperor to get the red box in the mother's harem, but two years have passed, and the red box has not arrived.

The emperor left her in the palace, in fact, just for this red box.

Now that the secret has been exposed, the emperor's anger can be imagined.

is also frightened, as well as several concubines in the palace, their lives, and even the lives of the family, are all concerned about the emperor.

If the legitimacy of the emperor is questioned, their wealth is gone.

Hu Hu hurried into the palace.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!" Hu Hui was most worried that the emperor would remove his hypocritical disguise and start killing all sides.

"When did I get angry?"

Hu Huo looked up and found that the emperor was actually laughing.

The style of painting is wrong!

Could it be that this rumor leaked out by the emperor? Is he sick?

"The old minister still wants to persuade you, this matter is deliberately provoked by someone with a heart, you must not make a big move."

That's right, this is to ask the emperor not to pretend to be the eighth king, and quickly light up the knife and kill.

Of course, it is not the southerners who must be killed, after all, the source of this matter is in Beijing, so go back to Beijing and kill people.

"Old lady, who do you think will do it?" Zhu Qiyu was laughing, but when he looked closely, he found that there was no smile on his face.

"Lao Chen doesn't know who concocted this case."

"But I know that the rapid spread in Jiangnan is fueled by the Jiangnan gentry."

Zhu Qiyu was not satisfied with this answer.

"What do you think I'm going to do?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.

"If you don't know, send the factory guard to secretly investigate ......"

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "I have already asked Jin Zhong to investigate, if you don't check the source, you will find out who is spreading it." ”

Hu Hui's face changed, the emperor was making a fuss about this matter, and he would kill him first in Nanjing.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is just the first move, and there will be a killer move later."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "In the same way, this is only my first move." ”

Beijing can't check, he's not in Beijing.

Let's start with Nanjing.

Hu Hu's mouth was bitter, the emperor was still trapped, if he was an old politician, he would definitely have a big banquet with a smile, as if nothing had happened.

"Old lady, do you say that I am really not the son of the first emperor?"

Poof!

Hu Hu knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty is definitely the son of the first emperor, there is no doubt about it!" ”

"But will the people believe it?"

This brings us back to a question I said earlier.

No matter how good the emperor is to the people, the people are very keen on spreading the royal nonsense, and there will even be countless versions.

This is the human heart.

Even, the people will always be the opposite of the government, and the people will never accept the emperor's so-called favor, and they will not admit it if they do, this is the "last stubbornness" of the poor.

"Yes, yes."

"Old lady, you are hesitant, which means that your heart is shaken."

Zhu Qiyu's eyes shot a fierce light: "It seems that it hit my seven inches, questioning my legitimacy and shaking my foundation." ”

"The common people have doubts in their hearts, no matter how much I do, it will be in vain."

"Fortunately, I also said that I am the son of the King of Han, if I say that I am not surnamed Zhu, I will be even more passive."

"Old lady, I am too merciful."

Rumble!

The city of Nanjing, all the city gates, was slammed shut.

Horses gallop through the streets, order all pedestrians to go home, and after half an hour, if they are still on the streets, they will be killed!

Fan Guang personally sat in the town and controlled the armies.

Jin Zhong took the brocade guard and stood in front of a high-ranking family: "Hit the door!" ”

An hour ago.

The emperor sent him into the palace and asked him the first thing he said: "It is rumored that I am not the son of the first emperor, Jin Zhong, what do you think?" ”

"Those who spread rumors die, and those who believe rumors will be punished!"

Therefore, the emperor asked him to take Jinyiwei to arrest and interrogate all the rich families in the entire Nanjing City!

Life or death!

Rumble! Rumble!

Attack the door machine, directly hit the door of the house.

The gatekeepers in the mansion were stupid, thinking that this was a rebel siege, but they saw a brocade guard wearing official robes coming in from the gate of the mansion.

"Everyone is arrested, and those who resist crime will be killed!"

2,400 brocade guards rushed into the mansion, arrested people when they saw them, shot them by the runners, and arrested them all in prison without asking the reason!

"Raid the house!"

Jin Zhong roared angrily: "The rules of Jinyiwei should be very clear, and no one is allowed to stretch out their hands for things that should not be taken!" ”

"Don't forget what the West Factory does!"

"Whoever spoils Ben Du's errand, Ben Du will punish whoever the Nine Clans!"

After copying one family, copying the next.

At the door of all the big families, there are soldiers standing, and whoever dares to come out will be killed immediately.

Jin Zhong is not in a hurry.

No one can run.

"What are you going to do? This official is an official of the Nanjing Garrison Mansion......"

Syllable!

Jin Zhong slapped him in the face: "Official? It's not on the value at this time, why are you at home? ”

"The official is in poor health......

Hello!

Jin Zhong slashed him with a knife.

"The emperor is still dealing with the music in his illness, what are you? If you're sick, let's die! ”

Jin Zhong's eyes were cold: "His family is killed!" ”

The knife fell, and the family members of an official were all killed, and their property was confiscated.

Not a word of nonsense.

All officials in Nanjing were abolished, resulting in the complete paralysis of the official residence of Nanzhili, and naturally no one pointed a finger.

Move on to the next one.

As long as they live in a large house, they will all be arrested, and those who resist will be killed.

On the other side, Chen Wuyang is also arresting people.

Countless dignitaries and dignitaries dressed in silk were arrested from their homes, and all sons, young ladies, and high-ranking ladies were sent to prison.

Ye Sheng was working in the yamen of the garrison mansion, and when he saw the big families in the high gate being cleaned, he could only shake his head and sigh: "Woe comes from the mouth, you haven't experienced the two rebellions in Beijing, and now in Beijing, who dares to spread rumors?" ”

A cart of goods was sent into the palace.

Does the scene sound familiar?

Zhu Qiyu was pretending to sleep: "Pass the decree and dismiss all officials in Nanjing, although the Ming Dynasty has two capitals, but the officials in Nanjing, temporarily abolished, when will it be activated, wait for the holy decree." ”

As a result, there were no local officials in Nanjing.

There is no one to point fingers at you.

Everyone is suspected of spreading rumors, and they must make themselves clear.

Cut out your heart and show it to the emperor and see your loyalty, otherwise, you will be guilty.

"Is there any news from Guangdezhou?" Zhu Qiyu asked Feng Xiao.

"Back to the emperor, there is no news yet."

"Tell Jin Zhong to transfer the army to coerce you, and you have to be fast."

Zhu Qiyu showed a cruel smile on his face: "What about the rumors that spread about me? I can let you go to Hades! ”

"The world is mine, and it will always be mine."

"What about you hiding among the people?"

"I can wipe out all the people!"

"You call yourself a soldier, you call yourself a citizen, a fly camp dog, a mere fart, but you have to carry the power of heaven, I will let you see how I do it!"

Zhu Qiyu muttered to himself, his tone calm.

When I was in Beijing, I was short of money, so I borrowed from a businessman.

This time, he was short of money, so he stretched out his hand to the Jiangnan gentry, and I will help you finish what Taizu and Taizong have not done.

These gentry, after finding out, all of them were removed!

Your family assets for hundreds of years and thousands of years, I smiled and accepted.

"Emperor, the Queen Mother is sick, please go and see." Feng Xiao spoke carefully.

"If you are sick, go to the Imperial Doctor, what's the use of calling me? I don't know how to heal. "Zhu Qiyu is annoying, and he has to comfort others?

"Emperor, this time I am really sick, and the slave is worried that the Queen Mother will not be able to survive this time."

Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes suddenly: "So serious? ”

"The eunuch who delivered the message was serious." Feng Xiao replied.

Zhu Qiyu suppressed the irritability in his heart, if the Empress Dowager Wu died at this time, he would not be able to explain it clearly, which would be equivalent to Huang Ni falling off his crotch.

"Swing."

Zhu Qiyu suddenly said: "Go, announce a few people who choose the front battalion, be a Han general, and defend me." ”

"Slave obeys!"

In fact, Zhu Qiyu brings loyal people with him.

Jin Zhong, Shu Liang, and Wang Cheng are all around.

Although Nanjing is not cold, Zhu Qiyu doesn't want to walk, what if an accident happens?

Take the holy car and arrive at Xian'an Palace.

There was a mess in the Xian'an Palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied them were understaffed, and they thought that they would use the palace people of the Forbidden City in Nanjing, but they were driven out by the emperor.

Therefore, the palaces are very desolate, and there are very few people.

Empress Dowager Wu was lying on the floor, her face was sallow, as if she was seriously ill.

"Emperor, son, you are the son of Emperor Xuanzong, really." Empress Dowager Wu wanted to grab Zhu Qiyu's hand.

Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand and let her grab it: "I know." ”

"Huang'er, my mother is sorry for you." Empress Dowager Wu's tears crossed the corners of her eyes.

Zhu Qiyu wanted to question her, what kind of moth is she doing, I don't know if I'm annoying?

But after Empress Dowager Wu said this words of concern, he couldn't ask.

"The Queen Mother can rest assured, I am fully prepared, and a few rumors will not be able to defeat me." Zhu Qiyu comforted her.

"Emperor, can't you call your mother again?" Empress Dowager Wu looked at Zhu Qiyu with a blank eye.

Zhu Qiyu didn't want to talk about any family affection at this moment.

After being an emperor for three years, he has been like a stone, and some family affection is no longer in his heart, he just wants to be a real emperor and an emperor through the ages.

"Mother!"

This mother shouted somewhat reluctantly.

But the Empress Dowager Wu burst into tears: "Before she died, she could listen to the emperor's mother in this life, and she had no regrets about her death." ”

"Too ...... Mother's illness is fine, just take care of it, I will let Concubine Tan come and serve, you can rest assured. ”

However, Empress Dowager Wu shook her head: "Mother's body mother knows, mother is afraid that she will not be able to return to Beijing, and mother only has one last wish before she dies, let her mother be buried with your father!" ”

This is a big taboo.

Although Empress Dowager Wu is the queen mother, it is because her son became the emperor, so he became the queen mother.

According to the etiquette, the person who was buried together must be the Empress Dowager Sun.

At this point, no courtier will make concessions to the emperor, and the issue of etiquette is the foundation of the courtier's control of the imperial power, and he will never let go.

Zhu Qiyu didn't want to quarrel with the ministers because of this trivial matter.

"I'll figure it out." Zhu Qiyu could only fool her, and when she died, she didn't know.

"The emperor can't be deceived as a mother, you have to promise to be a mother."

Zhu Qiyu really wants to brush his sleeves away!

It's all burning eyebrows, and you're still here to get involved in the funeral!

"I'll figure it out."

"You still complain about your mother in your heart, son, after the person died, he went to the underworld, it was so dark over there, there was no one around his mother, and his mother was afraid." Empress Dowager Wu wept.

You can't die, what are you afraid of?

If Zhu Qiyu brushes his sleeves away at this time, his reputation will collapse!

"The old lady has a lot of ways, I let the old lady come to visit you and let him help you plan." Zhu Qiyu immediately shook the pot.

As for the foreign minister's meeting with the Queen Mother, it was not in accordance with the etiquette law, and he couldn't care about it.

It's equivalent to finding a stepfather for your own mother.

"I will let Concubine Tan accompany you to ensure your recovery." Zhu Qiyu comforted him and left with an excuse.

Let the concubine talk on top.

Zhu Qiyu returned to the Qianqing Palace, looking impatient: "Is there any news outside the palace?" ”

"Back to the emperor, no."

Feng Xiao whispered: "The Queen Mother is fine, don't worry about the emperor." ”

"Let the Tai Yi heart diagnosis and treatment, and no accidents will occur."

Empress Dowager Wu should be fine.

At this time, Yang Xin had a battle report that the army had conquered Guangdezhou.

"Blockade of Canton and impose a statewide curfew! Ordered Yang Xin to investigate at his discretion! ”

Zhu Qiyu showed a smile on his face, this game of chess is alive.

Yang Xin's army could enter Nanzhili at any time to aid Nanjing.

Just wait for Gao Zongben to lead the army into Nanzhili, and the overall situation will be decided.

And outside the palace.

Jin Zhongzheng is arresting people one by one.

The prison soon became overcrowded.

Jin Zhongren asked people to strengthen the walls of several houses, paint the ground as a prison, and turn them into prisons.

There are too many rich people in Nanjing.

In just one day, more than 170 wealthy households of all sizes were arrested.

"Assist in the Beijing camp! Speed up! Zhu Qiyu made an order in the palace.

There are too many rich households in Nanjing, so it takes a few years to catch them, and there are so many rich households in the entire south of the Yangtze River, so they have to be well-trained.

And in Beijing.

Yu Qian and others were investigating the source of the news, and after discussing with the cabinet, Yu Shiyue, the secretary of the criminal department, came to investigate in person.

Yu Shiyue is full of helplessness, this is a matter of the top cylinder, it is reactive power if it is checked, and it is not good to check it.

However, the emperor was disgusted with him, and the courtiers recommended him to come out of the top cylinder.

Yu Shiyue first locked on a character, this person was a palace maid who served in the palace during the Xuande period, and she was released from the palace in the eighth year of Jingtai.

This palace maid's surname is Hou and she lives in Wanping County.

Because of her meritorious service in the palace, she was released from the palace, picked someone in the family to pass on to her, and entered this son into the flag guard.

Yu Shiyue hurried out of Beijing to check this palace maid.

As a result, Yu Shiyue left Beijing with his front foot, and the palace maid committed suicide.

Immediately, Yu Shiyue arrested all her relatives and tortured them.

Soon someone confessed.

said that the adopted son of the palace maid was addicted to gambling and owed a sum of money in Beijing, and maybe because of this money, he took risks, and their family didn't know about other things.

Yu Shiyue immediately arrested the adopted son of the palace maid, but this person hanged himself, and the clue was broken here.

But Yu Shiyue was worried that the official hat would not be guaranteed.

Don't dare to slack off.

first investigated the suicide scene and determined that this adopted son Hou Tang did not commit suicide, but killed him.

Along the detailed investigation of Hou Tang's social relations, he soon found Liu Ji, the commander of the standard-bearer guard.

Liu Ji is a very interesting person, this person was recommended by Song Wei to the emperor, and he was a guard with a knife in the palace, and the emperor didn't use him for some reason.

Instead, he, Zhao Sheng, Zhan Zhong, Wang Fu and others were sent to the flag guard.

The Bannerman Guard is the most powerless yamen of all the guards, and as the name suggests, the Bannerman Guard is the flag for the emperor.

This Liu Ji was unexpectedly promoted to the commander of the standard-bearer guard because of his merits.

He interrogated Liu Ji.

Liu Ji shouted wronged: "Lord Shangshu, the lower officials don't know about this." ”

"According to the official's investigation, Hou Tang (adopted son) gambled, and you took him to gamble."

"Xia Guan is addicted to gambling, so he took his subordinates to play a few games, but his affairs have nothing to do with me!" Liu Ji only said that he didn't know.

"Liu Ji, since this official has found you, it proves that you are related to this case."

Yu Shiyue doesn't eat white rice either.

The reason why Liu Ji was locked was because Liu Ji was inexplicably abandoned by the emperor, and he began to investigate deeply and found that Liu Ji had once climbed Shi Heng!

Who is Shi Heng's person? The people of Zhu Qizhen!

Then, Liu Ji is Zhu Qizhen's person!

No wonder the emperor ignored them, here's the problem.

Yu Shiyue also wondered, with the emperor's character, he should cut the grass and eradicate the roots, why did he keep it? Is it for the sake of the face of the Marquis of Xining?

Liu Ji really didn't expect that Yu Shiyue would find this secret.

He didn't cling to Shi Heng, but he gave Shi Heng a gift at the beginning, and before Shi Heng promoted him, there was a change to seize the door.

"Please spare your life! Xia Guan did give Shi Heng a gift, but he did not cling to his party, and he never betrayed His Majesty! ”

Liu Ji panicked.

It's been three years since the change of seizing the door.

But the several purges at that time, the entire Jingshi people, will never forget.

"Regarding Hou Tang's matter, you still haven't recruited it from the truth?"

Yu Shiyue said with pity: "Don't you want to go to the edict to tell the truth?" ”

"The lower officials are greedy for money, so they set up gambling stalls in the army, in fact, they want to blackmail the soldiers below and give gifts to the lower officials......"

Yu Shiyue interrupted: "This official didn't ask about this nonsense, say Hou Tang!" ”

"He's very lucky, when he plays with him, he always wins the official, and he relies on his adoptive mother's identity to disrespect Shangguan, so I thought about finding an opportunity to clean him up."

Liu Ji replied: "So, the lower official took him to the photosynthetic gambling stall." ”

"Photosynthetic gambling stalls?" Yu Shiyue hadn't heard of it.

"My lord, this is a black gambling stall, you definitely don't know the shopkeeper, but you definitely know the big backer behind the scenes."

"Who?" Yu Shiyue asked.

"Yang Jun."

Because Yang Jun was deprived of his title, he has been idle at home for a long time.

Yu Shiyue's pupils shrank, at the beginning, this Yang family, but two heads bet, one Yang Neng in the family bet on the side of the king of Wujun, and was ordered to commit suicide by the emperor.

Could it be that this Hanzong case is a continuation of the change of seizing the door?

"Hou Tang had an accident in Yang Jun's gambling stall, so the lower officials suspect that it has something to do with Yang Jun!"

Liu Ji confessed.

Yu Shiyue was worried that he deliberately guided the case, so he had him tortured, and his family was arrested, and he was tortured on a large scale.

Liu Ji bit this to death.

Yu Shiyue could only arrest Yang Jun.

Yang Jun had an easy life, but he was full of jealousy, but he hated Yu Qian and hated the emperor who took away his family vouchers.

His cousin, Yang Xin, has already been made an earl.

His son Yang Zhen rode up to his neck.

What about him?

He is Yang Hong's son, although he is not the eldest son, he is also the only remaining seedling, why was he so badly abused by the emperor?

As a result, his house was broken into.

Yu Shiyue personally led people to arrest Yang Jun.

Yang Jun was terrified: "Lord Shangshu, I didn't do anything wrong?" I kept to myself at home and didn't do anything! ”

Yu Shiyue stopped and tilted his head to look at him: "But someone confessed to you, you should know what is going on." ”

"I didn't count, I didn't do anything!"

Yang Jun was taken to Dali Temple Prison and urinated directly.

"Photosynthetic gambling stall, did you open it?" Yu Shiyue asked straight to the point.

Yang Jun was so frightened: "I immediately handed over all the gambling money I got to the insider, I knew I was wrong!" ”

"Answer, yes, or no?" Yu Shiyue has no face in front of the emperor, but below, he is still very majestic.

"Yes."

"Can Hou Tang know?" Yu Shiyue asked.

Yang Jun shook his head, he didn't know him.

"Have you ever heard the rumors in the market?" Yu Shiyue asked faintly.

Suddenly, Yang Jun's face changed suddenly, this matter is a ghost gate, whoever falls into it will die!

"Wronged, wronged!"

Yang Jun wanted to climb over, but he was held up by two soap officials with wooden sticks, and he was not allowed to move: "Lord Yu, you and your father are acquaintances, you should know me, I am as timid as a mouse, I am not enough to achieve more than I can fail, where do I dare to do such a big thing!" ”

"However, according to Liu Ji's confession, Hou Tang owes a large sum of money in your gambling stall."

Yang Jun cried and said, "How do I know about that little thing? You're in charge! ”

"It was sent, but the people ran away."

Doesn't this pot come from heaven?

Yang Jun is also a hero in his dreams, in reality, a bear is not, at most a dog, or a pug.

"Someone is cheating on me, someone is cheating on me."

Yu Shiyue asked faintly: "Yang Neng, do you remember?" ”

Suddenly, Yang Jun was silent.

Yang can bet on the king of the county and participated in the change of seizing the door!

Yang Neng's death was the emperor's extrajudicial grace, and it was because of the credit of his late father Yang Hong that he let go of his Yang family.

"I—I'm a diehard loyalist of Your Majesty." Yang Jun cried.

Yu Shiyue was happy: "How many times have you Yang Jun scolded Your Majesty at home, not to mention the palace, even the official of the criminal department knows it." ”

Yang Jun is directly stupid, his house is a sieve.

"But, but my son and my younger brother are all serving Your Majesty, and Yang Xin is even more in control of the Tiger and Leopard Army, defending Your Majesty in Nanjing!" Yang Jun was really scared.

Once it comes to the battle for the throne, the emperor will directly wave the butcher knife, regardless of the reason.

"They are them, you are you."

"You Yang Jun can be idle at home, and he has been robbed of his title."

"The resentment in your heart is known to the entire Jingshi."

Yu Shiyue said compassionately.

"Slander, slander! What a slander! "Yang Jun really wants to sew his mouth shut, this stinky mouth is causing trouble again!

"Tell me, who asked you to buy Hou Tang?" Yu Shiyue asked.

"No, no one!"

Yang Jun broke down and cried.

"It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin." Yu Shiyue let people be executed.

Soon, Yang Jun was tortured and abolished.

He suddenly realized that it was good to be idle at home, this is in prison, and it really hurts to be tortured like this.

As soon as he could get out, he immediately cut out his tongue and never spoke for the rest of his life.

"Wronged!" Yang Jun couldn't stop crying.

Yu Shiyue lowered her voice and said: "Say it, suffer less sin, Your Majesty will be merciful and give you a whole corpse, at least it will not touch your father's glory." ”

"If it drags on any longer, your father's tomb won't be saved."

Yang Jun cried and said, "I don't know anything, what am I talking about?" ”

"The dead duck has a hard mouth, and continues to greet him."

Yu Shiyue turned his head and left.

Liu Ji, behind it is the Marquis of Xining.

Although the Marquis of Xining is a high-ranking and powerful person, they are all the emperor's henchmen.

Since he couldn't make a breakthrough in Yang Jun, he went to Xining Hou's Mansion to test the depth of the water.

Song Jie and Song Wei were not there, and it was Song Cheng who was in charge of the lintel of the Xining Hou Mansion.

Seeing Yu Shiyue's visit, Song Cheng treated him politely.

However, Yu Shiyue asked him: "What does Liu Ji have to do with your Xining Marquis Mansion?" ”

"Which Liu Ji?" Song Cheng didn't know.

"Liu Ji, the commander of the flag guard, the little marquis won't know, right?"

Yu Shiyue took the tea, pursed her lips and smiled: "That official reminds you that in the eighth year of Jingtai, Song Wei once recommended Liu Ji to His Majesty, and this Liu Ji was sent from the palace guard to the flag guard. ”

"In the past three years, I have not made an inch of merit in the standard-bearer, but I have been promoted to commander."

"Little Marquis, what's the reason?"

Song Cheng was a steady young man and was highly valued by the emperor.

He frowned slightly: "Master Hui Shangshu, this Liu Ji, the student does have an impression." ”

"This person is not an inch of merit, but when Xing Guogong attacked Tatar in the north, he was responsible for transporting grain and grass, and made some military achievements."

"His promotion can be traced in the Ministry of Officials, not because my family is biased, please be aware of it."

"But this person is not a henchman of my Xining Hou Mansion."

"Gai is addicted to gambling because of this, such people will only be tired when they go to the battlefield, and my Xining Hou Mansion doesn't look down on this kind of henchman."

Song Cheng is neither humble nor arrogant, the first half of the sentence is reasonable, and the other half of the sentence is with the pride of the marquis.

"What is the merit of this person, he has his own Metropolitan Procuratorate and Supervision Department to manage, and this official is the secretary of the Criminal Department, no matter how much this matter."

Yu Shiyue said: "But this person is involved in the Hanzong case. ”

"What?"

Song Cheng stood up suddenly, Rao is young and old, but he also knows that this matter is big, involving the legitimacy of the emperor, and he Xining Houfu is involved, that is, hundreds of people are beheaded in the city.

"Even if Liu Ji is involved, I, the Marquis of Xining, will never dare to be implicated in this matter."

"Besides, I, the Marquis of Xining, am loyal to Your Majesty, and I will never dare to get involved in the battle for imperial unity."

"From the first generation of Xining Marquis, it has been passed down to the present, and it is the ancestral training of our clan!"

Yu Shiyue believes this.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to talk so politely, and he would have sent someone to arrest him for questioning.

"My lord, there must be a misunderstanding here."

Song Cheng tried his best to think: "When Liu Ji was recommended, it was because His Majesty wanted to employ people, so my uncle recommended Liu Ji, Zhao Sheng and others for His Majesty's use. ”

"At that time, my uncle recommended Li Jin, Chen Shao and others."

"Uncle Jia is absolutely selfless."

Seeing Song Cheng trying his best to defend himself, Yu Shiyue found that this Song Cheng was a character.

I'm afraid it's difficult to use it as a breakthrough to open up the situation.

"My lord, wherever you need the help of my Xining Marquis Mansion, I Song Cheng will never say anything!"

Song Cheng knelt down in the direction of the Forbidden City in Nanjing: "I, Song Cheng, I am the Marquis of Xining, I am loyal to Your Majesty, and I have no two hearts!" ”

"No matter who dares to offend the royal majesty, they are all enemies of my Xining Marquis Mansion!"

Clever, Song Cheng.

Move out of Your Majesty to suppress the old man?

Yu Shiyue chuckled: "Little Marquis, the loyalty of the Xining Marquis Mansion is well known to this official. ”

"It's just that this case involves a huge amount, and Your Majesty will be furious when you hear it."

"Your Majesty's wrath is fearless to all people in the world."

"Old man, I was also roasted on the fire."

Yu Shiyue understood very well why the courtiers kicked him out, because he was a waste in the eyes of the emperor.

If he can't find out, let him Yu Shiyue come out to confess.

But I don't want to think about it, the competition among the officials of the Jingtai Dynasty is so fierce, and he Yu Shiyue can stand tall, doesn't he have some talent?

"Students understand the painstaking efforts of adults." Song Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Yu Shiyue doesn't stare at the Hou Mansion bite, there is room for maneuver.

"Then Liu Ji, how did he get into the eyes of your second uncle Song Wei?" Yu Shiyue asked.

Song Wei is guilty of guilt, and Yu Shiyue is relatively old, so it is not rude to say this.

"Students don't know much about this."

Song Cheng thought seriously: "This person is Song Jun, the third uncle in the family, and recommended it to the second uncle. ”

"Isn't your third uncle in Beijing? Bring him here! Yu Shiyue said urgently.

Song Jun is on duty in the palace.

Song Cheng immediately sent someone to invite, and after waiting for about an hour and a half, Song Jun hurriedly came back: "What happened?" ”

Yu Shiyue inquired and learned.

This Liu Ji's brother, Zhan Zhong's sister is beautiful, and Zhan Zhong gave his sister to Song Jun as a concubine, so Song Jun recommended Liu Ji and the four to Song Wei.

Song Cheng was dumbfounded: "Third uncle, you are dragging the family into the abyss!" ”

"I didn't expect this to happen!" Song Jun was also stupid.

"Even if there is no such thing, it is a capital crime for you to deceive Your Majesty!"

Song Jun said: "Zhan Zhong, Liu Ji and a few others are indeed capable, they were sent to the flag guard, didn't they also do it?" It means that I am right. ”

Song Cheng knew that it was not Jane's problem in Emperor Xin's heart now.

It is necessary to assist Yu Shiyue to find out the mastermind of the Hanzong case.

"What is the relationship between Zhan Zhong and Liu Ji?"

Yu Shiyue found a loophole, Zhan Zhong offered his sister to seek glory, why did he bring Liu Ji?

"This ......" Song Jun didn't know.

"Send someone immediately to arrest Zhan Zhong, Wang Fu, and Zhao Sheng, quickly!" Yu Shiyue felt that the breakthrough in the case was in Zhan Zhong.
