The two talked boldly, stole two knives from the blacksmith shop, and walked towards Ai Zhao's house.

Huang Lai'er lied that he was here to pay back the money, and Ai Zhao was also unprepared. Huang Lai'er and Song Xiance stabbed Ai Zhao to death one by one!

Huang Laier hid Ai Zhao under the bed, and said to Song Xiance: "Go, go back and get something, go to Ganzhou, I have relatives who are officials there!"

Song Xiance buried the knife and said, "Okay, let's go overnight!"

The two walked to Huang Laier's house in a smear, and saw that the light was still on from a distance.

Huang Lai'er didn't care, and strode back.Song Xiance vaguely saw two figures, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Damn ghost, hurry up, Huang Lai is in prison and can't come back!" A woman's delicate voice came out.

"Hey, I know you can't bear it..." This is a man's molesting voice.

"Hurry up, you have to go back at dawn..."

"What are you afraid of, when Huang Lai'er dies, these are all ours..."

Huang Lai'er was already approaching, her temples were throbbing when she heard it, her eyes were full of hatred.Although he spends money like water, he has never treated this woman badly. He never thought that she would steal someone!

He suddenly picked up the shovel from the wall, roared, kicked open the door, and rushed in.

"The adulterer!" His shovel hit the adulterer directly.

The adulterer was just getting on his horse with a gun, he hurriedly turned around, and before he could dodge, a shovel hit his chest, causing him to scream.

Huang Lai's daughter-in-law was shocked, and cursed while putting on her clothes: "You bastard, you dare to come back, let me put it down, or I will make you look good!"

"Bitch!"

Huang Lai'er was furious, and swiped the shovel harder, hitting the adulterer's head, blood flowed out in a few hits, staining the bedding red.

The daughter-in-law was shocked, pointing at Huang Lai'er and yelling: "Li Hongji, you really dare to kill people, I'm going to the county government to sue you!"

Huang Lai'er was a nickname, his original name was Li Hongji, seeing this woman's heartlessness, he became mad with hatred, swung his shovel, and roared, "I'll let you sue! I'll let you steal! Bitch! Bitch!"

Li Hongji roared furiously, and hit his wife's head with the shovel again and again, until she fell straight down with her eyes wide open, then she woke up and stopped.

Song Xiance knew that his mother-in-law was stealing people. Seeing him killing two people in a row, he quickly came over to hold him back and said, "Go, it's too late if you don't go!"

Li Hongji's mind became cold, so he came to his senses, quickly rummaged through the box, found more than a dozen taels of silver, dragged Song Xiance and ran away.

When Li Hongji murdered and fled, Wang Zishun from Hancheng led more than 3000 people and surrounded Hancheng. Yang He, the governor of Shaanxi, was out of strength and had no time to deal with it. However, it fell within half a day. The peasant army gained momentum and gathered in just two days 3 soldiers marched southward, pointing directly at Xi'an, and the entire Shaanxi was shaken!

The news quickly spread to the capital, and the people of the imperial court were greatly alerted. The order of the Ministry of War was quickly sent to Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Sichuan provinces, requiring all places to garrison troops, gather standing troops, and work together to put down the chaos!

Chapter 424

Shaanxi is indeed too big, too big for the imperial court to provide comprehensive disaster relief, or even suppress the civil uprising with all its strength.

The land is vast and the population is sparsely populated, and this term is also very suitable for Shaanxi. If the rioters move around and fight, it is enough to cause headaches for the entire Ming Dynasty.

This also made Zhu Xu more eager to redefine the province, and couldn't help Wen Zhaoge's wanton delay.

While flipping through the memorial book, Zhu Xu said calmly: "Go, urge Wen Zhao Pavilion again, and ask Brother Huang to submit the memorial as soon as possible!"

"Yes." Liu Shimin agreed, turned around and left the imperial study, and walked towards Wenzhao Pavilion.

Zhu Youjian has not been in a good mood these past few days. Firstly, Zhu Xu insisted on taxing the rich, which damaged the foundation of Ming Dynasty; In the past three years, the disaster in Shaanxi has become more and more serious, and his disaster-response yamen began to be unable to do what it wanted. Five hundred thousand taels of silver and one million shi of grain were sent out, but there was no response at all, which made him even more worried.

Xinwangfu.

Concubine Zhou put the child down, walked over, looked at Prince Xin who was rarely drinking in the mansion with a sad face, and said softly: "My lord, you might as well go out for a walk."

In order to "rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty", King Xin tried his best to restrain himself, indulge in wine and wealth, and did not occupy everything. He was worried about the government every day and night, and the occasional boredom was just going out for a walk.

Zhu Youjian let out a sigh of relief, looked at Princess Zhou drunkenly, and sighed: "National affairs are getting difficult day by day, all officials are favoritism, I also have many conflicts with the emperor, my hands and feet are bound, and the administration is difficult, can it be resolved by going out and walking? "

Concubine Zhou didn't understand government affairs, so she walked behind Zhu Youjian, pressed his shoulders, and said softly: "My lord, what the concubine said is that you should walk around with the emperor more and get closer, and you can't be deadlocked like this..."

Zhu Youjian didn't know about the conflict between him and Zhu Xu. In addition to the prejudice in his heart, this conflict also had a big difference in political views, which could not be resolved simply by being close.

Fortunately, Zhu Xu still remembered the legacy of the late emperor and did not abolish him as a prime minister, allowing Wen Zhao Pavilion to exist forever.It's just that this kind of existence, Zhu Youjian is not sure how long it can last.

This time Zhu Xu wants to tax the rich. The biggest "rich people" are the officials all over the world. These people are the foundation of Ming Dynasty. He must not allow Zhu Xu to move lightly.

He is currently using the dragging formula, and based on his understanding of Zhu Xu, I'm afraid it won't last long.

This made him feel more and more depressed, and he drank the wine glass by glass.

Wang Chengen came in from the outside, looked at Zhu Youjian's expression, sighed softly in his heart, took out a playbook from his arms, and said, "My lord, come to Zongdao, come to the capital."

Zhu Youjian raised his head sharply and said, "Really?"

This Lai Zongdao was a former minister of the Ministry of Rites, known for his "cleanness". Although he participated in the compilation of "Three Dynasties Yaodian", he was also the main force in destroying "Three Dynasties Yaodian". Time, the influence is huge!

Zhu Youjian is looking for a good talent, here, Lai Zongdao is the No.1 he invited!

Wang Chengen handed the playbook to Zhu Youjian, and said, "Yes, my lord has already entered the palace and asked to see the emperor."

Zhu Youjian's expression was brightened, and he became sober after drinking a lot. Looking through the playbook, he found that Lai Zongdao's plays were all to his liking, including destroying the "Three Dynasties Essential Code", affirming important positions in the court, and clearing up government affairs. , government orders and so on.

These are what he is struggling with now, but Lai Zongdao can see clearly.

"Let's go back to Wenzhao Pavilion!"

Zhu Youjian stood up, took a deep breath, and said loudly.

Concubine Zhou hurriedly arranged for people to prepare for a bath, and could not let King Xin go to the palace like this.

While Zhu Youjian was taking a bath and changing clothes, Lai Zongdao also entered the palace and was being led by the inner eunuch to Jingyang Palace.

Lai Zongdao is over 60 years old, with white beard and hair, the corners of his face are as thin as a knife, his eyes are piercing, and he holds his head high, giving people a strict and rigid look.

The inner supervisor's expression remained unchanged, but he was a little nervous.This Master Lai is from the Hangzhou Mansion. He has advanced seven times, and he was very prominent for a while. Back then, Wei Zhongxian was in awe of him, and he never underestimated him.His resignation was different from Qingliu's "begging for illness". He resigned because he was really sick and overwhelmed. Therefore, the ruling and opposition parties tended to agree on him as "a person who does his duty impartially and plans big things."

Lai Zongdao quickly entered the imperial study room, looked at the young emperor who was sitting behind the desk, his head lowered, reviewing the notebook, his eyes became colder, as if he was looking at a junior student, he raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zongdao, pay homage to the emperor!"

Zhu Xu raised his head, glanced at Lai Zongdao, and said with a smile, "Come on, my lord, get flat."

For this person, there is a detailed description in the pamphlet on Zhu Xu's right hand side, which boils down to "both left and right, and the sword walks sideways".When Wei Zhongxian gained power, he participated in the compilation of the "Three Dynasties Essential Code", which was praised by Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian was unlucky, and he strongly demanded that it be burned.In the eunuch party, the Qingliu seem close but not close, seem far but not far, and they always get benefits from both sides without offending them.

To talk about the ups and downs of the officialdom, this is an old boatman.

Lai Zongdao straightened up, held up the note and said: "Your Majesty, when I come to Beijing this time, I am determined to support the court's gains and losses, respect the world, and ask the emperor to take a look."

Cao Huachun's eyes moved. He hadn't heard such a big talk for a long time. He felt a little uncomfortable for a while, so he walked over quickly, took the playbook and handed it to Zhu Xu.
