Gou in Daming, I was overheard by Zhu Yuanzhang

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhu Yunwen sat on a large huanghuali chair, squinting his eyes to listen to Kang Dayou's report.

"Your Majesty, Zheng He, the magistrate of Hangzhou, reported that a large number of pirates gathered at sea. Judging from the ships, there are no less than a thousand people."

Now that Zhu Yunqi has found the feeling of being an emperor, he listens to what his close officials say without speaking first.

Xie Jin said: "Your Majesty, I think that Zheng He is spreading false news, and his purpose is obvious: to raise the bandits' self-respect."

Self-respect for raising pirates?

"The first emperor went to Hangzhou, killed the crown prince of the Wo Kingdom, and let the Wo Kou flee far away, never daring to invade our sea territory again. Why did the Wo Kou appear at this time? It's very suspicious."

"As an internal minister, it is not appropriate for Zheng He to be released as an official, and it is even more inappropriate to be the prefect of Hangzhou."

Xie Jin remembered that this Zheng He was also Zhu Yunxi's man.

It was Zhu Yunxi's arrangements and suggestions that Zhu Yuanzhang made Zheng He the prefect of Hangzhou.

Since the new emperor had a relatively deep conflict with Wu Wang Zhu Yunxi, it might as well state his position again.

As a literati, it is of course necessary to be tactful in expressing one's position.

Then it is suggested to take down the people Zhu Yunxi relies on so that the new emperor can trust him more.

What's more, the reasons I listed are very sufficient, Zheng He is a minister and a eunuch.

The first emperor Zhu Yuanzhang once said: ministers are not allowed to interfere in political affairs.

But the former emperor loved Wu Wang Zhu Yunxi too much, because the Wu king admired Zheng He, the former emperor made an exception and made Zheng He the prefect of Hangzhou!
Not only that, Zheng He was also allowed to work part-time in the Ministry of Industry, specifically in charge of Daming Shipbuilding.

Xie Jin believes that the new emperor has long been dissatisfied with this, but no one has raised it, and it is not easy to attack Zheng He for the time being.

After finishing speaking, Xie Jin looked around proudly.

"Your Majesty, what Master Xie said is just his guess." Liu Hong suddenly stood up from the embroidered stool: "Zheng He was appointed as the prefect of Hangzhou, which was decided by the late emperor."

"Shouldn't we implement the will of the late emperor?"

Liu Hong's voice was so loud that everyone in the hall fell silent.

No one expected that Liu Hong would suddenly come out to oppose Xie Dacai.

Huang Zicheng understood that the reason why Liu Hong said this was mainly because he and Zheng He were both eunuchs.

Among the team of eunuchs, there is one and only one who has been sent out as an official, and the place he manages is still the richest place of Ming Dynasty-Hangzhou Mansion.

If Liu Hong joins hands with Zheng He, one inside and one outside, they will be a political force that cannot be underestimated!

And Liu Hong is not afraid that Zheng He will threaten his status!
After all, Liu Hong has the merits of supporting him!

Zhu Yunqi originally wanted to agree to Xie Jin's proposal and remove Zheng He from his post, because Zheng He had a better relationship with Zhu Yunxi.

Now, everyone who has a good relationship with Zhu Yunxi, such as the Lan family, Mu family, Tie Xuan, Tao Chengdao and others have rebelled!
These people hid in the Daming Institute of Science and Technology, ignored their own will, and relied on their firearms to resist.

And also came up with a crooked trick to erect the tablet of the first emperor, so that the imperial army could only besiege.

Greatly swept his own face!
Zheng He was a member of the former emperor and Zhu Yunxi, so maybe he still has an objection now!
Xie Jin was right, maybe Zheng He was using the Wo Bandits' desire to invade as an excuse to keep his official title.

However, when Liu Hong said this, Zhu Yunqi immediately hesitated.

That's right, since the change of the official system, the rules made by the former emperor have been changed a lot.

If it continues to be changed, will anyone discuss it in private?

Is the action too hasty?

Seeing that the new emperor did not speak, Liu Hong became anxious: "Shouldn't the former emperor's secret decree about the prince be carried out?"

Huang Zicheng's eyelids twitched, the old eunuch Liu Hong's words were too harsh!

Punishment!
In order to protect Zheng He, Liu Hong did not hesitate to turn against Xie Jin!
Huang Zicheng originally wanted to protect Zheng He, after all, Zhu Yunxi had been kind to him, and he also heard that Zheng He's official reputation in Hangzhou was very good.

It seemed that with Liu Hong who worked so hard to protect Zheng He, there was no need for him to show up.

Zhu Yunwen couldn't help shaking when he heard Liu Hong's last words.

That's right, the will of the former emperor cannot be changed casually.

Besides, if it weren't for Liu Hong and Jiang Yu, he might not have been enthroned as emperor so smoothly.

"Great gentry," Zhu Yunwen asked to understand Jin's words: "There is no need to say more about Zheng He. Let Zheng He monitor the movements of the bandits at any time, and destroy them on the spot if there is any infringement."

Xie Jin didn't expect such a big reaction from Liu Hong, and such a big effort to protect Zheng He.

Thinking that his status in the heart of the first emperor was not as good as that of Liu Hong, he could only give up in dismay.

"Your Majesty, you said that you will catch Lan Yu, Mu Ying and others within seven days, are you sure?"

In order to relieve Xie Jin's embarrassment, Zhu Yunqi immediately changed the subject.

"Your Majesty, I'm sure. It's just that Cao Guogong needs to cooperate well." Xie Jin immediately became proud again.

Because the new emperor encountered a big problem, only he thought of a wonderful solution.

This method won the unanimous praise of the new emperor Zhu Yunqi and Cao Guogong Li Jinglong.

Now, the Daming Academy of Science and Technology has been besieged by Li Jinglong for a month, which makes the new emperor lose face.

Seizing the Lan family, Mu family, Tie Xuan and Tao Chengdao is the top priority of the new emperor.

But procrastinating like this is not always an option.

No one knows how much food and drinking water the Daming Institute of Science and Technology has stored this year.

Whoever can solve the major problem in the heart of the new emperor will gain a higher status in the court and have more right to speak.

Li Jinglong said: "Your Majesty, if you have an idea to solve the talents, I believe that you will succeed."

Qi Tai was surprised. As the Minister of the Ministry of War, he still didn't know what Xie Jin had come up with.

"I heard that you are throwing horse fodder into the city. Cao Guogong, what are you doing, tell me?"

Both Xie Jin and Li Jinglong were in a bit of a dilemma. After all, if this method was spread and people in the Daming Institute of Science and Technology heard it, it would not work.

"Gentleman, it's all here, and none of them are outsiders. Tell me, maybe everyone can make it better."

Zhu Yunwen said.

"Master Qi, we are throwing horse feed, and we have been throwing it for several days in a row, and the people in the Academy of Science and Technology have become accustomed to it."

Xie Jin immediately became energetic. As the creator of this method, he is also very willing to share it with others.

"The horse feed we throw these days is actually just a foreshadowing."

"The most important thing is the last toss!"

"Of course, the last throw requires the cooperation of the Criminal Department and the Jinyiwei, and personnel must be selected from the Heavenly Prison and Imperial Prison to complete it."

Huang Zicheng was startled and said, "The last throw? Heavenly prison, imperial prison? Could it be that you are learning from the Mongols? Could it be that you spread the disease by throwing corpses?"

……

The discussion in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was over, and the ministers walked out of the palace gate.

Huang Zicheng's face was uncertain, he lingered outside the palace gate for a while and then left.

As soon as Liu Hong stretched out his hand, several Jin Yiwei flashed out from the darkness.

"You guys, keep an eye on Huang Zicheng for the past few days to see who Huang Zicheng has contacted with, whether he has contacted anyone in the Daming Institute of Science and Technology, and by what means."
