Domineering Daming

The other people present will understand that they must solve the case before the emperor intervenes and give the emperor a reply, otherwise the emperor will make a big move, and how many people will be killed!

At the same time, in a small building not far from Shuntian Mansion, two black shadows looked at the fire in Shuntian Mansion, showing their white teeth.

"My lord, it's better to do it your way. Now those stupid kings and mediocre officials are like headless flies, running around everywhere!"

It was a woman's voice, clear and powerful.

The man who looked like a son looked at the fire, and a group of people who were illuminated not far away sneered and said: "The people are suffering, the people are in dire straits, and disasters continue. This is clearly a sign of the end of the world. A change of dynasty is inevitable. , all day long, my son is just giving them a ride!"

The woman smiled delicately, and suddenly said: "By the way, I heard that the emperor will go on a tour in the south of the Yangtze River in three days. Young master, do you think the dog emperor still has the heart to go?"

In the dark night, the son's eyes flashed fiercely, and he said in a cold voice: "This stupid king killed my father, how could I let him go out of Beijing to have fun? Today is just a lesson, and I will still have the means in a few days." !"

The woman's eyes lit up, and she said: "Then I'll wait to see what you can do, and... what about those gentry? Will they be found out by these stupid officials?"

The young master sneered, and said: "So what if we find out! They don't know who we are, and we are just helping. Just wait and see, the New Deal that the foolish rulers and mediocre officials will mess around will come to an abrupt end!"

Chapter 576

A man and a woman in the darkness kept looking at the fire in Shuntian Mansion, and White Fang flickered from time to time.

In the dark alley not far from the two restaurant, a group of people were complaining.

A black shadow grabbed the front one and called out in a low voice: "Mr. Liu, we didn't do this. We just put a few piles of firewood. It can't be done like this..."

"Yeah, we took twenty Wen, this is going to be beheaded..."

"Mr. Liu, tell me something. If the fire continues like this, the entire capital will be burned!"

Member Liu desperately wiped the cold sweat off his head, stomped his feet and said, "I don't know, I just asked you to set a little fire and give Chen Qiyu a blow. Who knew it was used by others..."

"Then what should we do, the government is arresting people everywhere now, we can't hide for long..."

"If this is caught, the seven members of our family will be beheaded..."

"Mr. Liu, hurry up and think of a way, or you will die..."

Yuanwai Liu was a fat man, dripping with cold sweat and shaking all over his body.

His ancestor was a county magistrate, and his family has thousands of acres of fertile land. This time, he was pushed out because of his low status. At this moment, his expression changed, and his heart changed wildly.

Shuntian Mansion was burned, and dozens of other houses were burned. I don’t know how many people will be burned to death!

If the court pursues it, beheading will be considered a minor offense!

Liu Yuanwai's small eyes flickered, he turned sharply and said, "You all go back, I'll go to Qin County Magistrate!"

A group of people looked at each other, and just about to say something, they heard the sound of dense footsteps, and hurriedly hid in the dark alley and left quietly.

In Shuntian Mansion, people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice were dispatched quickly, and the entire capital was running.The patrol battalion also imposed a curfew to arrest suspicious persons.

The fire in Shuntian Mansion seems to have no end, and no matter how much water enters it, it will not weaken.

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and others did not dare to leave. While fighting the fire, they hurriedly discussed countermeasures in private.

Officials in other parts of the capital dare not be idle and rush around.

The governors and governors who came to Beijing were all sleepless, watching the fire, anxiously waiting for further developments.

Ordinary people who were not affected also opened their windows, watching the fire and discussing it like a bummer.

This night, no one is destined to sleep.

Jingyang Palace, Imperial Study Room.

The lights were brightly lit and the candles flickered.

Zhu Xu sat on the chair with a calm expression, lowered his head, and silently flipped through a book of memorials.

He is now more awake than during the day, and he has no sleepiness at all.

Standing on both sides of Zhu Xu were Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin. They closed their eyes slightly and looked at the front expressionlessly.

Not far from the imperial table, Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground, motionless.

In the imperial study room, apart from the beating of flames, there was no other sound, and a needle could be heard.

What Zhu Xu had in his hand was Zhang Wenda's memorabilia, and he wrote three lectures in a row. One was about taxation, which suggested "delay", the second was about recommending talents, including Liu Zongzhou and others, and the third was about impeachment, impeaching Prince Jing. ultra vires.

If it was the Taiping period, Zhang Wenda's memorabilia would be feasible, and it can be said that he was mature enough to seek the country, but at this time, it would be a chronic poison that would kill Daming.

Zhu Xu shook his head secretly, but stayed silent.

Although this kind of staying in China shows his attitude, it is not without side effects. Not to mention the blow to the courtiers' heart for the country, in this period of time when the old and the new are changing, it is easy to cause confusion, and people don't know what to do. What is right and what is wrong?

In this situation, it is far from enough to rely solely on the introduction of clear policies, the mutual influence between courtiers, and even the public opinion of newspapers.

This will take time, and Ming Dynasty is bound to participate in the great voyage, and the ideological impact will be even greater at that time.

"Take it as a preview..." Zhu Xu whispered.

His sudden words caused the expressions of the other three people in the imperial study to change slightly. Liu Shimin and Cao Huachun quietly looked at him from the corner of the eye, and Wei Zhongxian knelt even lower.

After Zhu Xu finished speaking, he was startled by the quietness. He raised his head to look at Wei Zhongxian, blinked his eyes, and said after a while: "Okay, get up."

Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After speaking, he got up tremblingly. After kneeling for so long, his legs were already numb.

Zhu Xu patted the table lightly with his palm, and then said in his mind, "Tell me."

Wei Zhongxian bowed, trembling in his heart. As the New Deal became more and more perfect, he found that the existence of Dongchang became more and more redundant. He needed to show his ability to the emperor. The existence of Dongchang was necessary, but this happened at this time thing!

Wei Zhongxian was mad with hatred, his eyes were full of fierceness, but his expression did not fluctuate, he raised his hand and said: "Return to the emperor, the slaves have already made a preliminary investigation, some gentry were instigated to deliberately set fire in Shuntian Mansion, just, kerosene The slaves are still investigating the provenance of it."

Zhu Xu squinted his eyes, kerosene is a strategic material, and ordinary people can't touch it.In other words, it is not ordinary people who instigate the gentry?

Immediately he smiled and said: "Don't worry, investigate slowly. If the Criminal Department and Shuntian Mansion find something, find a way to stop it. This case cannot be closed before I leave Beijing."

Wei Zhongxian always knew that the emperor was casting a big net, but he didn't know how the emperor would use it. At this time, Wei Zhongxian had to ask, and raised his hand and said, "Please show me, Your Majesty."

Zhu Xu didn't need to hide anymore, so he said, "Tomorrow, Zhenhui will order the cabinet to take the lead, and the Ministry of Punishment and the Governor's Yuan will jointly form a quick-response yamen to deal with emergencies and major incidents. I will give you the Shangfang sword. You can kill first and then play!"

Wei Zhongxian's expression was shocked, and he knelt down fiercely and said: "Your servant obeys the order!"

Just four words contain countless meanings.

Zhu Xu didn't have the time to guess. He looked up at the dark door and said in a calm tone, "Do things cleanly and neatly. Don't be afraid of big things... The imperial court will inevitably have some resistance. Fortunately, I am not in Beijing. You Don't worry about it... Don't leave any excuses for others. If there are reasons and evidences, all the witnesses and material evidences are ready, and they will be handed over to Dali temples at all levels for trial... Occasionally, if there are any mistakes or omissions, I will suppress them... In short, be upright and upright, Don't let people chew your tongue..."
