……

Li Yuan quickly arrived in the palace in a carriage, no matter what Li Yuan said, he also grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he was very familiar with it, and he came to the Xuanzheng Palace all the way unimpeded.

The officials of the previous dynasty all came early, and no one wanted to be convicted of default.

At this time, hundreds of civil and military officials were gathering together in groups of three or five to discuss the affairs of the southern army.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the Xuanzheng Palace.

"Your Majesty has arrived~~~~"

When the ministers heard this, they quickly knelt on the ground.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live~~"

"Flat body~"

"Your Majesty Xie~"

"All of you, please take a seat."

"Your Majesty Xie~"

After Zhang Shi sat down, he asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, I heard about something in my dream yesterday, I don't know what you think?" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen would like to hear the details."

"Yes, Your Majesty, please speak."

"Okay, then I'll talk about it."

Zhang Shi slowly said his dream: "In the dream, I led more than 100,000 iron horsemen to advance to the south and the soldiers came to the city. ”

"When I swung my sword at the enemy camp, I found that the enemy camp was empty."

"After I sent someone to investigate, I learned that the enemy generals fled at night and have not returned, leaving only a few soldiers."

"I was so angry that I ordered my soldiers to pursue me, but I was ambushed."

"We have been attacking for several days, and I have suffered heavy losses."

"Finally, when I was wounded again and was about to die, enemy reinforcements arrived."

"Although there are few enemy reinforcements, they are all brave and good at fighting, and with the assistance of high-ranking people, I was defeated and captured."

When the ministers heard this, some of the officials who were old and timid as rats were immediately frightened and fainted, while the rest were frightened and panicked.

"Your Majesty is wise and martial, and he is a wise monarch through the ages, how could he be defeated in the hands of a few thieves."

A minister had the audacity to slap Zhang Shi's ass.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty is powerful in the world, how can a little thief take it seriously."

Another official chimed in.

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, how can a mere thief have your Majesty."

…… For a while, words poured towards Zhang Shi like a tide.

Zhang Shi smiled with satisfaction and motioned for everyone to stop touting.

"Hahahaha!" Zhang Shi laughed, and the officials were silent.

After a while, Zhang Shi restrained his smile and said in a deep voice: "This time I almost lost my life, all because the enemy's treacherous plan succeeded, and it is really intolerable to kill the loyal and good under my command. ”

The officials looked puzzled, not knowing who His Majesty meant by loyalty?

Li Yuan was also confused by Zhang Shi's operation, what is the situation?

Zhang Shi continued: "Fortunately, Emperor Taizu gave me an artifact, and since then, the four seas have been peaceful, and there has been no rebellion. ”

Everyone suddenly realized that this was the case.

Zhang Shi's words changed: "Emperor Taizu said that I am a Ming monarch who is rare to see through the ages, and I should lead Daxu to a glorious and prosperous era. ”

"Your Majesty is Shengming, Your Majesty is wise!" The ministers began to tout again.

Zhang Shi snorted coldly, interrupted the sycophants of the ministers, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am determined to take the mission to sweep away the world's unministers and make great achievements!" ”

"If anyone dares to stop me from sweeping the world, I will kill them!"

"Since I am the emperor, entrusted by Emperor Taizu, I must be responsible for the people of Li, destroy the traitors, and return the world to a prosperous world."

Zhang Shi's words were impassioned and inspiring, as if he had seen the grand plan of hegemony after the four seas were leveled.

"Therefore, I hope that all of you Aiqing can do your duty, serve the country, and participate in the grand event."

When Li Yuan heard this, his brows furrowed, he always felt that Zhang Shi's words had ulterior motives.

Li Yuan thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a reason after all.

"Wechen obeys!"

"The ministers are willing to die for Your Majesty!"

The officials shouted in unison, indicating their attitude.

Li Yuan listened to the tsunami-like answer of the ministers, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

This is intelligence: 5 (full square); Political wisdom: 10 (full) Zhang Shi, what a great thing!

Once Zhang Shi is in power, it is absolutely impossible to guard against.

Fortunately, Li Yuan has systematic help, otherwise Li Yuan can only watch the country change hands in his life, and the world will change his surname to Zhang.

After Zhang Shi saw everyone's statement, he showed a pleased gaze.

Li Yuan sighed in his heart: "Alas!"

Zhang Shi stood up and said.

"Now that the Southern Expeditionary Army has not yet returned to Beijing, I have heard that someone is spreading the news that General Zhenguo is supporting his troops and intending to rebel?"

After Li Yuan heard this, he also scolded angrily: "Your Majesty, who is talking nonsense? It's just nonsense. ”

The ministers are also following the wind, but they don't dare to open the river, and if they open the river with one letter, I am afraid that even ten heads will be cut off.

"Your Majesty is angry, this person must have ill intentions."

"Your Majesty, according to the old minister's humble opinion, this matter should not be investigated deeply, so as not to affect the morale of the army."

Zhang Shi shook his head and said, "Hehe, the reason why I have this dream must be because Emperor Taizu has appeared, so that I don't trust villains and kill the loyal people under my command!" ”

Everyone didn't dare to say more when they heard this, after all, the miracles of Emperor Taizu's manifestation were all on the table.

During the feudal period, the manifestation of Emperor Taizu or the manifestation of immortals was a very big thing, and it was more righteous and prestigious.

Zhang Shi said again: "Since this is the case, I will investigate this matter thoroughly. ”

"I'd like to see who came up with these rumors!"

"Come on, pass on my message, let Li Qing's family, Li Yuan, the king of Jiangnan, be responsible for investigating this matter!"

"Strictly investigate the source of rumors, and we must find out the mastermind behind the scenes."

As soon as Zhang Shi's words came out, the court suddenly exploded.

"Minister, obey the order." Li Yuan hurriedly knelt down to receive the order.

I don't know what kind of medicine Zhang Shi sells in this gourd, but no matter what, they have to obey.

"Retreat." After Zhang Shi announced his retirement from the court, he left the court.

As soon as Zhang Shi left the main hall, Zhang Shi couldn't help but complain.

"Hey, these ministers are really boring, just say two words and it's over, wasting my emotions that have been brewing for a long time."

...... The ministers withdrew from the Xuanzheng Hall one after another.

Li Yuan had a gloomy face, and went to the Criminal Department with Gonggong Zhu and his statement.

The Yamen of the Criminal Department.

The waiter of the criminal department was drinking tea, and suddenly a catcher came in from outside.

The face of the waiter of the criminal department changed, "What's the matter?" ”

Caught quickly: "Lord Qiyu, the palace sent someone to send a secret letter just now, you can take a look." ”

"Okay."

The waiter of the criminal department opened the secret letter, and after seeing the contents on it, his face changed suddenly, and then he slammed his fist on the table.

"Bang!"

The bamboo flute on the table shattered instantly, and the waiter of the criminal department had a gloomy face and said, "You go down." ”

"Yes."

After the arrest was about to go down, the waiter of the Criminal Department muttered: "Your Majesty is strictly investigating those who spread rumors this time, what are you trying to do?" ”

"Could it be that His Majesty already suspects that someone has spread the rumor?"

The squire of the criminal department secretly wondered in his heart.

Although I don't know the specific situation, judging from Emperor Pingyuan's attitude, it should be true.

"Looks like we're going to have to get some preparations."

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the servant of the criminal department, and then he picked up the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote a secret letter.

The squire of the criminal department personally handed it over to the jailer and ordered, "You should be sent to Beijun quickly." ”

The jailer said respectfully, "No." ”

The jailer was about to leave, and the waiter of the Criminal Department repeatedly advised: "You must hand it over to Beijun Juncheng with your own hands." ”

"Yes!"

"Your Excellency, the King of Jiangnan outside the Yamen has an official document to meet your lord!"

Another jailer hurried in to report.

"Please wait a moment." The waiter of the criminal department put down the brush, tidied up his clothes, and went to greet him.

"The lower official greets the prince."

Li Yuan raised his hand and said with a smile: "Meng Shilang doesn't have to be polite. ”

"The prince suddenly visited, I don't know what is important?"

"This king has taken the liberty to disturb Lord Meng this time, there is indeed a tricky matter, I want to consult Lord Meng."

"Oh? What's up? Please elaborate on the prince. ”

Li Yuan said: "Recently, some people have spread rumors, slandering the southern conscription of troops and horses to make Wu Jinfan support the army and self-respect, and intend to rebel. ”

Meng Dashan, the servant of the Criminal Department, was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly asked, "I don't know who that person is?" How dare you frame the Southern Expeditionary Army like this! ”

"Your Majesty has an order for this king to investigate this case." Li Yuan said.

When Meng Dashan heard this, he snorted coldly, changed the topic and said: "This kind of rat generation, talking about national affairs, it really deserves a thousand cuts!" ”

"This kind of scum is useless to stay."

"Don't worry, if you catch such a scum, the lower officials will definitely deal with it in accordance with the law."

Seeing this, Li Yuan nodded, and said, "This is Your Majesty's will, and I hope Lord Meng will not shirk." ”

Meng Dashan hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "In this case, even if the lower officials are full of liver and brains, they will help the prince to handle this matter well." ”

When Li Yuan heard this, he sneered in his heart, this is fine, it saves trouble.

"Meng Shilang is doing things, and this king is still at ease."

Meng Dashan arched his hand and said: "Thank you for your love." ”

After the two chatted for a while, Li Yuan mentioned another matter.

"I heard that Meng Aiqing's eldest daughter Meng Zeying is not young, should I consider marriage?"

After Meng Dashan listened to Li Yuan's words, he first frowned, and then said, "Thank you Lord for your concern." ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "There is a staff member in this king's mansion, named Shushu, who is thirteen years older than Meng Qianjin, and he has excellent appearance, and this king thinks it is very suitable. ”

When Meng Dashan heard this, his face was a little ugly, this was obviously to stuff the statement to his daughter!

Meng Dashan was indignant in his heart, but he could only hide it, and said with a smile: "The statement is a famous person in the world, and the lower officials are ashamed of themselves." ”

"If you can let him marry the daughter of the lower official, the lower official will be grateful."

......

North County.

Chenghu of Beijun County is probably the largest local tyrant in Nanyuan County, with nearly 10,000 private soldiers under his command.

He has made outstanding achievements, and now he has become a county commander of Beijun.

Hu probably took the secret letter handed over by the waiter of the criminal department, opened it and read it carefully.

Hu Yue's eyes lit up, and he said: "If Meng Dashan can do this, I will be an official and worship the marquis." ”

Hu was probably excited, when he led the army to defect to the emperor's Second Prince, thinking that His Royal Highness the Second Prince would be able to succeed, and then he would be from the dragon's work.

Who knows, a black horse was killed halfway, and the second prince was trampled under his feet, and the second prince was knocked into the dust.

After the defeat of the second prince, he lost his backer.

The third emperor's grandson, Li Yuan, became the emperor, and the emperor only killed the first evil of the rebellion when he was young, and Hu probably escaped the catastrophe!

After that, Hu was probably depressed and resentful, he could only be a county prince, but he was helpless.

Now that he has a chance, Hu probably can't wait to make a big thing that shocks the world, and then soar into the sky.

"This must be done, otherwise there will be no chance."

Hu probably thought of this in his heart and secretly made up his mind!

Now that His Majesty wants to exterminate those who spread rumors, how can he refuse?

In the private message, he said: "Hu Jun Chengqi, Your Majesty dreamed that Emperor Taizu appeared at night, and asked Your Majesty to get close to the loyalty and goodness under his command?" Strictly investigate those who spread rumors, and don't say anything unpredictable. ”

Hu probably sneered: "Sure enough, someone deliberately spread it!" ”

......

"No matter who it is, this time, this county must pay the price!"
