I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"The Wang Wenyan case will continue to drag on!"

Chapter 194 We are chickens and dogs!

Xiong Tingbi's sudden Madonna disrupted Wei Zhongxian's plan to further purge the Donglin party members. As a last resort, Dongchang had to vent his anger on Li Ruoxing, the governor of Hexi.

Wang Wenyan, who was supposed to die, continued to linger in the Dongchang prison because of this incident, which also made Zhu Youxiao heave a sigh of relief.

Although the Donglin Party shouldn't exist, the Eunuch Party is powerful, and it's not good for him, the emperor.

Right now, the two of them just check and balance each other, and if the eunuch party continues to grow, I'm afraid that the "nine thousand years" in history will come earlier.

Zhu Youxiao didn't want to be forced to kill Wei Zhongxian with a single knife.

After all, it is of great use to keep him now. The reconstruction of the three halls, the increase of tariffs, and the re-spreading of mining taxes in the capital area all require a capable person to take care of them.

Wang Tiqian is too immature, and he still doesn't dare to challenge Wei Zhongxian publicly. Except for Wei Zhongxian, there is really no one to do things, so that Zhu Youxiao can rest assured.

However, Wei Zhongxian didn't stop. As soon as he took his eyes away from his old enemy Donglin Party, he set his sights on the next target.

That is, Jin Yiwei under the leadership of Xu Xianchun!

At the beginning of the second year of Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao thought of the so-called "Xu Hongru Uprising" that occurred in Shandong that year in history, and sent Xu Xianchun to personally go down to the Shandong Supervisory Office for a thorough investigation.

The purpose is to eliminate it in the bud.

But everything has consequences, Xu Xianchun went down, and within a few months, the leaders of the White Lotus Sect who were supposed to "revolt" in history all surrendered in advance.

There is only one Xu Hongru left, who was deliberately left in Shandong by Jin Yiwei.

After these incidents, the real power of the supervisory department in the local area has also increased, which is different from when the tariff along the river was just increased two years ago.

The growth of Jinyiwei inevitably attracted the attention of Dongchang Fanzi.

Wei Zhongxian soon noticed Xu Xianchun, the commander of Jinyiwei who had a completely different style from Liu Qiao before.

Liu Qiao is cowardly, cautious and careful, and dare not take a step beyond the threshold. Even if there is an important matter, he will not lead a team to Mana unless there is a strict order from Zhu Youxiao.

Wei Zhongxian didn't worry about this person at all.

But Xu Xianchun was different, he was cruel and ruthless, and he was good at guessing the holy will.

Xu Xianchun has only been in charge of the Jinyiwei for a year, and the local supervisory departments of the Jinyiwei are almost on the same level as the East Factory's branch offices.

However, Emperor Tianqi actually entrusted the important task of purging the White Lotus Sect in Shandong to the Supervising Department, which made Wei Zhongxian suspicious.

He knew that it would be impossible to go on like this...

Others may not know why Xu Xianchun kept Xu Hongru from going to clean up. When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he sneered.

"The governor still doesn't understand his pettiness."

"This Xu Xianchun wants to use this to curry favor with the civil servants and generals in the Shandong area. He can eat people with a short mouth and short hands!"

"Then... how do we deal with it?" Fu Yingxing also sensed the crisis, and said in a deep voice, "You can't just look at your grandchildren from the past and ride on your head step by step, right?"

"Heh——" Wei Zhongxian chuckled disdainfully, and snorted coldly: "Don't worry, with the supervisor here, Xu Xianchun will always be the one below!"

"You go to Shandong first and meet him, so that this guy surnamed Xu won't be too careless!"

"Since my uncle said so, my nephew is relieved. I'll find a few capable stalls and go to Shandong in person."

After Fu Yingxing finished speaking, he turned around and left.

After he left, Wei Zhongxian hid himself in a dark corner, and as the lights went out suddenly, there was a burst of creepy laughter.

……

During the Ching Ming Festival, the palace people remitted from various palaces and bureaus to the Inner Prison Yamen to receive spare clothes, as well as welfare subsidies such as rice noodles issued by the imperial court during the Ching Ming Festival.

Xu Shi, the female official of Kunning Palace, is walking back happily holding her own things.

Since the maids and eunuchs from all the palaces have come, along the way, they also heard a lot of recent gossip.

A maid in charge of the lamp in Kunning Palace pulled her from behind and said:

"Sister, do you know what people say about us?"

"What are you talking about—" Mrs. Xu compared the beautiful new clothes, without even turning her head, still walking in small steps.

Before the maid holding the lamp had time to speak, she was passing by a row of palace people, and the direction she looked at should be the West Sixth Palace.

After leading them a little farther, the maid holding the lamp lowered her voice and said:

"They have always said that the emperor has always favored the Zhonggong, the concubine of the Zhonggong, and that we are chickens and dogs ascending to heaven!"

Xu was startled, then smiled and said:

"This statement is true, aren't you and I just chickens and dogs?"

The maid in charge of the lamp was a little dissatisfied, her eyes rolled in their sockets, and she asked again:

"We are chickens and dogs, what is the empress, and what is your majesty?"

Mrs. Xu naturally heard the meaning of provoking war in her words, so she turned her head and said displeasedly:

"Hurry up and say a few words less, less publicity, the prince has just come into the world, at this juncture, don't cause trouble for your empress."

……

What the maid in charge of the lamp said involved two major events, the inner palace and the outer court.

In the first year of Apocalypse, Emperor Apocalypse personally conquered the Southwest. When he arrived in Luoyang, he issued an imperial decree to implement the law of restricting the salary of the clan, strictly restricting the children of the clan to ask for salary from the imperial court under the pretext of "creating human beings".

At that time, because the emperor went with soldiers.

When the new law was promulgated, none of the clans said a word of no. When the sensation brought about by the Great Southwest Victory gradually dissipated, the clans began to make trouble.

One year later, the dissatisfaction of the clan's children became more and more high. Just half a month ago, led by Zhu Changxun, the king of blessings, there was a scene in Luoyang of robbing the treasury silver as a salary.

There are quite a few clans involved in this matter, and it's not enough to cut off all their brains or forcefully suppress it. Recently, Zhu Youjiao has been troubled by this.

Coincidentally, Yuan Chonghuan won a big victory in Shenyang, and it is said that Nurhachi was injured by a cannonball.

Originally, Shenyang was beaten back and forth by Jiannu several times, and He Shixian and other generals died in battle, which has become the focus of the Ming and Jin sides.

Every time, Houjin waits for you to see that it is about to be repaired, and then makes a large-scale attack to destroy it, loot it and leave.

In order to ensure the safety of Liaoyang and further defend the Liaoshen Plain in Guangrou, Xiong Tingbi could not give up Shenyang.

As a result, Shenyang, which was originally an important military town, has become a hot potato, and no one wants to go there.

Zhu Youxiao threw Yuan Chonghuan over with the intention of keeping a steady profit and not losing money if he couldn't keep it.

I didn't expect this kid to be so thick-skinned.

Leaving aside whether the injury to Nurhachi was real or not, Yuan Chonghuan took this as a credit and asked for silver rewards from the Ningyuan Army in the memorial, but it has already happened.

By the way, he brought up the "Ningjin Line of Defense" rejected by the court last year.

Zhu Youxiao is really convinced, wouldn't Yuan Chonghuan give up if he didn't cheat himself of hundreds of millions of taels of silver every year?

But right now, except for Yuan Chonghuan who died in Shenyang Zhu Youxiao and didn't feel distressed, if anyone sent to die in battle, it would be a loss to the court.

Although Zhu Youxiao was annoyed by Yuan Chonghuan, he really had to bear it for the time being.

As for Fu Wang Zhu Changxun, it is not easy to move.

Zhu Changxun is equivalent to the He Shen raised by the Wanli Emperor's grandfather. He has to be slaughtered slowly, and he will be slaughtered when he is short of money.

Take it out and kill it to eat meat. It may not be possible to eat meat, but it arouses pigs all over the day to rebel.

Chapter 195 I'm afraid they won't cut enough!

The wind in the Forbidden City was blowing just right that day, and the peach blossoms in the palace were blown down. Although the scenery was good, the palace officials who were directly in charge of the palace were all hit.

The top is falling, and the bottom is quickly sweeping...

The palace people were busy in the various palaces, and a blue cat suddenly jumped out in front of the Xinuang Pavilion. It looked at the humans who couldn't care less about chasing it, its eyelashes trembled, and suddenly it ran into the peach blossom forest and disappeared.

In front of Xinuang Pavilion, the tranquil scene was broken by a series of hurried footsteps.

Last year, outside the Dujian Mansion, Zhu Youxiao secretly set up the Jiaoshi Mansion, which belonged to Dongchang and Jinyiwei, to deliver information for the emperor.

A senior officer walked quickly into the Xinuang Pavilion, knelt in front of Zhu Youxiao, holding a more detailed Bianguantang newspaper in his hand.

The chill brought back from the Liao area had long since dissipated, but this contestant, who was able to maintain his composure in front of the slave soldiers, was extremely nervous at this moment, and his whole body was trembling slightly inaudiblely.

Emperor Tianqi's eyes gradually darkened, making it impossible for him to avoid it.

In an instant, a hot bead of sweat slid to the ground, and the silence in Xinuang Pavilion seemed to make this sound all the more clear.

It was the first time for this contestant to meet the emperor so close, but he just waited silently, not even daring to raise his head, let alone meet the emperor's eyes.

After reading the Tang newspaper, Zhu Youxiao snorted and frowned slightly.

However, he saw that he threw down the news from the pond newspaper that he had brought back with difficulty, and said lightly with a laziness as if he had not yet woken up:

"The weather is hot and dry, you are basking in the sun, stay closer to me, and cool off."

"Thank you, Your Majesty—!"

He hurriedly thanked him, wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, took two steps on his knees, and took out a document of informant from a certain clan in Luoyang.

He lifted the document to a place within Zhu Youxiao's reach, still looking down at the ground, not daring to peek at Tianyan.

At this moment, the several-two-weight document in his hand is like a thousand catties.

After a few breaths, Qiao Shi heard the rustling of the clothes on his head, and the paperwork he was holding in his hands was taken away. He felt relieved for a moment and breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the secret document and glanced at it, only to find that the man with his head down had frostbite on his hands, so he asked:

"What's your name?"

Qiao Shi raised his head slightly, but still did not dare to look directly at Shangyan, lowered his eyebrows and said:

"Returning to Your Majesty, the villain Jin Yingkui, was ordered to go to the Liao region in the first year of Tianqi to take charge of the battle, and he has returned to Beijing for more than a year."

"I've heard a long time ago that none of you would want to do such a hard job if you didn't get the emperor's order. Thank you for your hard work."

What Zhu Youxiao said was flat, but in Jin Yingkui's ears, it was the greatest affirmation in more than a year.

The eldest man was so choked up that he couldn't speak for a moment.

"Since the slave chieftain retreated to Shenyang, he issued a strict order to levy military rations from the Han people from all over the country. If the Han people from all over the place had no grain or refused to give them, they would all be slaughtered..."

"When I was young, I often heard descriptions from merchants: Liao Zuotian people are rich in valleys, people in Ze are rich in fresh food, people in mountains are rich in materials, people in the sea are rich in goods, families are rich in goods, everyone is full of contempt, and everyone is full of goods, bribes and envy. "

"However, this time, I was in charge of the task and sneaked out of the customs, only to see the deserted fields, dilapidated huts, and bones everywhere!"

"Your Majesty, the current Liao land is already a hell on earth where all industries have withered!"

The contestant became so excited that he forgot for a moment that he was facing the emperor, let go of his initial fear, and was only filled with hatred for Jianlu.

This relatively matter-of-fact idea just shows that in this era, there is an irreconcilable bloody feud between the Han people and the Jurchens.

Zhu Youxiao was not angry at all. Thinking of the data in the Caitang newspaper just now, he sighed and said calmly:

"For more than ten years since Liaozuo raised troops, countless Liao people were massacred by Houjin, and many people's families were destroyed. This is because the imperial court did not do enough to destroy the captives... and it is also my fault..."

"Sooner or later, I will personally drive my horse into Hetuala. Over the years, how the slaves have slaughtered our Han people, I will pay back everything!"

"I'm afraid that these slaves are not enough for me to kill!"

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao sat up from the couch, and he was so frightened that he trembled and took half a step back.

With one hand, Zhu Youxiao held the document from Luoyang, and with the other hand, he randomly took a thin shirt and draped it over his shoulders, and sat down on the round stool beside the Eight Immortals Table.

Zhu Youxiao poured himself a mouthful of tribute tea to rinse his mouth, and before he could spit out the tea, he ordered to Qiaoshi in one go:

"Auxiliary ministers, factory ministers, and honorable ministers, please come over."

When the matter is unclear, he feels serious and takes orders to go.

When he walked away, Zhu Youxiao picked up the secret document and looked at it again. As his eyes moved up and down, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

it's time.

……

Last year, Zhu Youxiao personally conquered the Southwest, and when he returned from the great victory, he issued an edict.

That is to say, the authority of the Ministry of Rites in the clan's mansion was revoked, and the Ministry of Rites and the clan's mansion were in charge of their own affairs. There were also major changes in the position of the clan's order.

In the past, the patriarchal order of the Ming Dynasty was generally led by the prince. Taking advantage of the power of the great victory, Zhu Youxiao handed over the post of patriarchal order to the British Duke Zhang Weixian.
