Chapter 478: Asking the Prince
However, after the implementation of the involution of the last elimination system.
The courtiers who were messing around swept a lot, and the eunuchs beside Lao Zhu had no chance to shout the words 'retreat from the dynasty without incident'.
Several items have been finalized regarding disaster relief in the Central Plains and Jiangnan regions.
And now those guards, after the resolution to replace them with new weapons.
Yan Shenggong Kong Xian took the opportunity to stand up and shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister wants the prince to abuse his power and eliminate dissidents in the six departments. ”
As soon as these words came out, many officials who were familiar with Kong Xian looked at him like a madman.
I don't understand this guy who only gained fame before, and never cheated the court with his life.
Why did you suddenly take the wrong medicine today, and you actually attacked the prince.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly perked up when he heard the words.
He glanced at Zhu Biao, who looked confused, and then looked at the righteous and awe-inspiring Kong Xian and said, "The reward is played in detail." ”
Kong conspicuously looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and did not get angry.
Hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, today the captain of the Governor's Mansion is in the sixth department, and many officials have been arrested, which has already affected the normal operation of the six departments. ”
"And this is exactly what happened to the crown prince after he took charge of the Governor's Mansion."
"His Royal Highness the Prince, what crimes did those officials commit, Jin Hui was directly arrested and sent to the Imperial Prison?"
As soon as these words came out, many courtiers cast curious glances at Zhu Biao.
Because of what Kong Xian said, they have also heard it, and their grandson has seen it with their own eyes.
However, because Zhu Biao had an excellent reputation in the past, no one put this matter on his head.
Since he was in the Governor's Mansion, there was a cool official who wanted to handle a big case.
Who knows, Zhu Biao said lightly when he heard this: "This palace sent the captain to arrest people, so naturally there is a reason to arrest them." ”
"This matter involves the secrets of the imperial court, and when the time is right, the palace will give you an explanation."
Because Zhu Biao dug out a lot of moths lurking in the court from the secret agents of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in accordance with the interrogation method provided by Lin Che, and found clues about greater lawbreakers from these moths.
And it will take some time to find evidence that can convict him, so Zhu Biao can only give an answer without comment.
And when the ministers heard that the prince, who had always opposed Xingdajiao, they dared to admit that they had sent a school captain to arrest people on a large scale.
For a while, I couldn't help but fall into an uproar.
If the future successor of the Ming Dynasty also intends to be the captain of the school.
Then they will have a hard time in the future.
Kong Xian took this opportunity to ask with ill intentions: "His Royal Highness the Prince, we are all officials of the imperial court, how can we hide the affairs of the imperial court from us?" ”
"Or is it that His Highness was instigated by some ill-intentioned people to arrest people?"
"So that it is difficult to ride a tiger, and now you can only make mistakes?"
In the end, Kong Xian finally revealed his purpose.
The so-called targeting of the prince is all an illusion, and his purpose is Lin Che behind the prince.
After all, this time Zhu Biao's wanton arrest in the sixth department was too abrupt, and it was not in line with his previous style at all, so Kong Xian was very suspicious that this matter was instigated by Yu Lin Che.
Faced with Kong Xian's meaningful questioning, Zhu Biao couldn't help but show a meaningful smile.
Nodding and admitting: "You're right, someone did order this palace to arrest people." ”
These words caused an uproar among the courtiers who did not know the inside story.
In the world, there are still people who dare to order the prince to do things.
However, some smart people showed a sudden smile after being surprised.
And Kong Xian only cared about taking the opportunity to attack Lin Che, completely unaware of the trap in Zhu Biao's words.
He also thought that Lin Che had taken advantage of the prince, so that the other party reacted and directly threw him as a scapegoat.
So he asked excitedly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, who is so bold as to instigate you to frame Zhongliang with the school captain!" ”
However, the person who answered Kong Xian's question was not the smiling prince.
It was Zhu Yuanzhang sitting on the dragon chair.
He snorted coldly and said, "Kong Xian, it was we who ordered the prince to arrest the six lawless ministers, do you think we did something wrong?" ”
Kong Xian was still waiting with hope, and Zhu Biao said Lin Che's name.
Unexpectedly, what was waiting for was Zhu Yuanzhang's thunderous anger.
He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, lay on the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, the minister just suspects that the prince was instigated, by no means..."
"Shut up!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was already on fire in his heart because of lack of sleep.
Now Kong Xian is trying to frame the words of someone behind the prince.
It made him angry.
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "Since you want to know, why do we want the captain to go to the sixth department to arrest people." ”
"Then you go to the Imperial Prison for a few days, and everything will be clear."
Kong Xian still wanted to kowtow, but he was directly dragged out of the hall by the captain of the court.
The court fell into a brief silence for a moment.
However, no one pleaded with Kong Xian.
After all, this person died by himself, and it doesn't mean that anyone can participate!
Wait until the tension in the court has eased for a while.
Fu Youwen suddenly played: "Your Majesty, the first batch of white sugar has been sold to the bidding merchants. ”
"A total of 57,000 taels of silver, I wonder where this silver should be kept?"
As a result of the trip, the money obtained from the shares of white sugar was misappropriated to the ship repair yard.
Therefore, the white sugar, which should have been directly operated by the royal family and then sold to the whole country by merchants, could only be sold by merchants first.
After earning enough money, the royal family laid out its own sales channels.
It's just that the business of the white sugar factory is led by Zhu Yuanzhang.
The money to build the factory came from the Manchu ministers.
So much so that Fu Youwen didn't know for a while whether to put the income into the household department or transport it to the inner treasury of the palace.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that the white sugar factory had an output, he couldn't help but feel energetic.
He asked curiously: "Isn't the sales of white sugar good, how can it be sold for such a little silver?" ”
Fu Youwen was not in a hurry to issue a few bills, and Zhu Yuanzhang explained: "Your Majesty, the first batch of white sugar produced by the White Sugar Factory is about 10,000 catties, and the reserve price is five taels of silver. ”
"It's just that there have been no similar goods on the market, so the merchants who participated in the auction are very conservative in their bids."
Not only is it conservative, if it weren't for the royal eunuch, he sent letters to these merchants.
I'm afraid no one will come to participate in this auction of white sugar.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care much about the first sale of white sugar.
He knew that it would not be easy for a money-hungry merchant to put money into a new commodity that he had never heard of before.
However, he has tasted how delicious white sugar is, and knows how many people will attract it once it is popularized among the people.
In the future, the price of the auction will naturally rise with the demand.
Although it will really make it difficult for ordinary people to enjoy white sugar for a while.
However, as long as enough is sold, the faster the expansion of the white sugar factory will be.
When the production of white sugar increases to a certain point, its price will also become more affordable.
This is all the economic knowledge that Lin Che has taught.
