King Ping looked at Zhu Qiugui, and continued: "This case may not be finished in a while, but I will take it out of Prince Jin's mansion first, so King Jin can rest assured."

The corner of Zhu Qiugui's mouth twitched, his expression was stiff and in a mess, King Ping's words were like voices from outside the world, he saw Om Weng, but couldn't hear what it was.

The third division questioned the case in the lobby, accompanied by Huang Chengyuan, and the case was simple and clear.

It's nothing more than Jin Wang's mansion seeing a good piece of land, buying and selling it at a low price, and then engaged in the act of killing people by force.

However, with the departure of King Ping and King Jin, the case went smoothly after a pause for a while.

King Jin's son Zhu Shenxuan was the first offender, the old eunuch Li Yongquan was the executor, and a group of guards were quickly arrested. The land that should have been returned to the villagers, and the land that should not have been confiscated into the treasury. Within half an hour, everything was over.

The happiest thing was Huang Chengyuan. A major case that was destined to end, ended so smoothly without too much impact. As the Governor of Taiyuan, he was very relieved.

As for the other senior officials in Shanxi who were hiding out of sight, they all quietly wiped off their cold sweat when they heard the news.

The back office of Taiyuan Mansion.

King Ping seemed to have memorized it by heart, and said very smoothly: "The people from the third department found another yamen and stayed in Shanxi to deal with the aftermath. From now on, all major cases will be handled by the third department, and the Shanxi yamen will not interfere. The Dongchang sent guards to protect Jinwang's mansion. , Taiyuan Mansion will clean up all the donated land and private property of Prince Jin Mansion, and the household department will send people to receive it..."

Huang Chengyuan, Wei Zhao, Cao Qincheng and others stood and listened quietly. They all knew very well that what King Ping said was equivalent to an imperial decree.

The most important thing is that there is nothing special, out of the ordinary, or logical thing in these words, so they didn't speak.

There were no twists and turns in Shanxi, and it was handled very quickly, and Zhu Xu in the capital was not idle.

As the date of ascension to the throne is getting closer, he is getting more and more busy. Zhang Woxu from the Ministry of Rites has to go to the imperial study room dozens of times a day, and Zhu Youjian does the same. Countless things require Zhu Xu to nod and cooperate with him. so as not to make mistakes.

No one dares to be careless about such things, and desperately wants to be perfect without any mistakes.

It wasn't until night that Zhu Xu breathed a sigh of relief, lying on the swing in the imperial garden and watching the stars.

Both Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin followed, Cao Huachun stood beside Zhu Xu, and said with a soft smile, "Your Majesty, it's only for a while, after this time, when you ascend the throne, everything will be the same."

Zhu Xu let out a long sigh and said, "It's not that easy, the troubles are yet to come."

Before Zhu Xu finished speaking, a servant hurried in and reported: "Your Majesty, Zhu Zonghan is here."

Zhu Xu sat up straight and said, "Xuan."

He looked serious, staring at the door.

Zhu Zonghan has been keeping an eye on Liaodong. If it is not a big event, he will not enter the palace in person.

Zhu Zonghan quickly came in, dressed in black, knelt on one knee and said: "My minister Zhu Zonghan, I will greet the emperor."

Zhu Xu raised his hand and said, "Excuse me, tell me."

Zhu Zonghan stood up, still with a zombie face, looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, the bandit chief Huang Taiji proposes to change the name of the clan, re-establish the name of the country, and change the yuan."

Zhu Xu suddenly realized that this incident was within his expectation, but to other people, it was a great event.

This means that Jiannu officially established the country and has an equal status with the Ming Dynasty at the national level. This is definitely not acceptable to the Ming people who regard themselves as the Central Plains Celestial Dynasty.

But what Zhu Xu is more concerned about is that Huang Taiji's series of actions show that his position in Houjin is becoming stable. Once he can subdue the other Baylors, control the Eight Banners, and avenge his father, the battle of Ningjin will not be far away. .

Seeing that Zhu Xu was silent, Zhu Zonghan said again: "The minister also found out that Jiannu is stepping up to raise food and grass. The Eight Banners soldiers and horses, especially the Mongolian army, have not been disbanded. It seems that something is brewing."

Zhu Xu shook his head and said: "Let me keep an eye on it. Not only the Jiannu, but also the Mongolian side, infiltrate more. No matter what method you use, every tribe needs someone. I will know about any disturbance!"

"Follow the order!" Zhu Zonghan handed over the two booklets.

Zhu Xu opened it and saw that they were all lists of people assigned, and the other was a brief list of information.

Zhu Xu smiled with satisfaction, and said: "Well, you did a good job, if you need anything, just ask, I'm not stingy."

Zhu Zonghan hesitated and said: "I need a bank note from Huitong Commercial Bank, 10 taels. In addition, I also need the emperor's will to pardon some people."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Xiao Cao, you go to get the bank notes, Liu Shimin, you go to draw up the decree, twenty documents, and plan to leave the name blank and stamp it with a seal."

Zhu Xu knelt down on one knee again, and said: "I thank the emperor!"

Chapter 283 Li Family in Liaodong

The Taiyuan case is more shocking than the Yanzhou case, involving many royal families, as well as the hearts of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Because Jin Wang is the second, and the crime is notorious, once it is confirmed, it will show that the emperor intends to do something to the clan!

But seeing King Jin's apology and the emperor's reply, all the hearts of the world fell to the ground.

The Prime Minister Zhu Youjian, the representative of the Donglin Party in the court, the leader of Qingliu, Yang Lian, the censor of Zuodu, and various senior officials in the opposition all let out a sigh of relief.

All silently sighed: The emperor still has reason, that's good.

In the imperial study room, Zhu Xu held Yuan Chonghuan's apology book in his hand. His words were generous and earnest. Literally, there was a deep reflection.

Zhu Xu shook his head secretly, threw it aside, looked at Cao Huachun and said, "How long will Sun Ge be able to arrive in Beijing?"

Liaodong always made Zhu Xu a little uneasy. Without Sun Chengzong, he was always uneasy.If Huang Taiji was allowed to hit Shanhaiguan at once, he, the emperor, would be even more embarrassed than Chongzhen in history.

Cao Huachun turned around and said: "Go back to the emperor, the last time I sent a letter saying that I could arrive a few years ago, it should be within a few days."

Zhu Xu took a deep breath, nodded, and continued flipping through the notebook.

After being screened by the Six Departments, Wen Zhao Pavilion, and the Supervisor of Rituals, those who came to him were all urgent matters, and Zhu Xu did not dare to be sloppy at all.

Soon, Zhu Xu saw the playbook from Sichuan, which was written by Qin Liangyu.

The three Qin Liangyu brothers commanded nearly [-] troops, deterring the southwestern provinces, especially connecting Shaanxi and Gansu, which were the hardest hit.

Zhu Xu opened it, looked at each word, and nodded secretly.

Qin Liangyu said that in accordance with his will, building fortresses on various roads and rebuilding important towns in various places have achieved initial results. Several groups of rebels who attempted to go north to Chengdu, or to go north to northern Shaanxi were blocked and wiped out in Sichuan.

Zhu Xu smiled and nodded from time to time. With Qin Liangyu here, he was not worried about the provinces in Sichuan, but to prevent rioters from fleeing into Sichuan.

He has been strictly defending the provinces most affected by the disaster, trying to control the situation within a certain range.

A servant hurried in and said to Zhu Xu, "Your Majesty, the concubine is here to invite you."

Zhu Xu was startled, looked up and said, "Did the concubine say something?"

The waiter said: "Go back to the emperor, there are guests in the palace, the concubine please go over."

Zhu Xu was stunned, can guests still come to the palace?

"Well, you go, report back to the concubine, and say that I will be here soon." Zhu Xu tidied up the notebook on the table and said.

"Yes." The waiter bowed and turned to go out.
