Daming: At the beginning, the big snow dragon rides to create a martial arts court

The intelligence capability of Hulong Villa can be seen.

Those dozens of people are responsible for sorting out all the collected information, and after sorting it out, they will sort it out and move around from time to time to find information.

"Marquis God."

Seeing that Zhu Wushi came in, a leader came over and bowed to wait for instructions.

"Spread out the news that Hulong Villa is about to be abolished, especially in Gengzhou. The information can also be mixed with any news that seems true or false. For example, Hulong Villa will be abolished. This Marquis is very unwilling." Zhu ignored it indifferently. road.

Gengzhou is the state where the Southern King is located.

"clear."

These intelligence personnel never asked a single word, and they did what Zhu ignored orders.

People in this group know a truth, sometimes the more they know, the faster they die.

…………

Liuwu Shenhou Mansion.

"I've seen Uncle Shi."

Zhuge Zhengwo stroked his beard and smiled: "You little bird, why are you in such a hurry to see me? It seems that I have never seen you so anxious."

"Does the Tai Tu know that three days ago, Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue agreed to compete ten days later, and I came here for this purpose." Lu Xiaofeng said.

He and Zhuge Zhengwo had an old relationship, so he couldn't see the emperor at this time, so he could only hurry to see Zhuge Zhengwo.

Chapter 48

Zhuge Zhengwo was very surprised: "The two of them competed swords, why did you come to me? Could it be that you invited me to watch the battle?"

If you meet a swordsman on the road, you must present your sword. If you are not a poet, you must present your poems.

It is very normal for people in the Jianghu to compare swords, very normal, but these two swordsmen are the best swordsmen in the world.

"This is not the most important thing, they agreed to be on the top of the Forbidden City."

Zhuge Zhengwo's expression turned cold: "Two swordsmen from the rivers and lakes actually want to compete swords on the top of the Forbidden City, so presumptuous, where is the dignity of the royal family!"

"Isn't Ximen Chuuxue your best friend? Why don't you persuade him to refuse this competition? You should know that if they compete swords at the top of the Forbidden City, there will be no place for them in Da Ming."

Lu Xiaofeng looked solemn: "Uncle Shi, I found some information by accident. Ye Gucheng's appointment with Ximen was not a simple sword fight, but a long-planned conspiracy. This is the main reason why I came to see Uncle Shi , I hope Uncle Shi will go to see the emperor as soon as possible, if possible, to prevent this competition from happening, no matter how bad it is, we must take precautions."

"Top of the Forbidden City? Conspiracy?"

Zhuge Zhengyi got up and paced around, thinking in his heart, and immediately concluded that if Lu Xiaofeng's information was true, then this conspiracy must be aimed at the emperor.

Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard and smiled wryly: "As Uncle Shi said, Ximen Chuuxue is my best friend. He is a pure swordsman, but he got involved in this conspiracy unintentionally. In fact, the first time I knew about it , I went to look for him, but it was a pity that he was in vain, he must have found a place that no one knows to sharpen his sword now."

"Ye Gucheng is probably the same. They are such masters that it is too easy for people to find them."

"It's okay, Uncle Shi begged for me and told His Majesty that Ximen Chuuxue was absolutely not involved in this conspiracy."

"Okay, I will enter the palace immediately!"

Zhuge nodded at me.

Lu Xiaofeng lifted his spirits, and bowed down to pay respects: "Thank you, Uncle Shi."

…………

When Zhugezheng and I entered the palace, Yu Qian was meeting Zhu Qiyu.

"Teacher seems to be in a hurry?"

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, and Yu Qian stepped aside temporarily.

After Zhugezheng I bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, I learned not long ago that there are two peerless swordsmen in Jianghu, one is Ximen Chuuxue from Wanmei Villa, and the other is Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City. These two swordsmen meet for a duel. The location of the sword competition is set at the top of the Forbidden City."

"finally come."

Zhu Qiyu thought.

Zhuge Zhengwo said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, these two are peerless swordsmen. To be honest, it is very difficult to prevent them from entering the Forbidden Peak, but the more so, the more impossible it is for them to succeed. Once a precedent is set, in the future Peerless masters come to the Forbidden City for all competitions, where is the majesty of the royal family? Where is the majesty of His Majesty?"

Yu Qian also spoke at this time: "Your Majesty, what the Taifu said is true! We must kill chickens to scare monkeys!"

"Teacher, I want to ask you, will you invite many masters and famous people from the rivers and lakes to watch the competition between these two?"

"Yes."

"Will there be many masters of the rivers and lakes coming uninvited?"

"Yes."

"Can you stop it?"

"It's hard..."

Zhuge Zheng's face turned ugly.

What is a master of the rivers and lakes, it is too easy for them to come in the big capital.

The prohibition of Xia Yiwu is not a sentence, but a reality. Even if the ban is issued, there will still be many people in the world who will ignore the ban and come to watch.

"Even if I issue a ban at this time, prohibiting people in the rivers and lakes from coming to watch the battle, and then guard it with heavy troops, it may not be able to stop them all. If this is the case, it is better to block it."

"Is it better to block it?"

Zhuge Zheng moved my heart.

"Since it is difficult to stop, why not let them in, in exchange, we must abide by order and minimize turmoil."

Zhu Qiyu smiled slightly:

"Two peerless swordsmen agreed to compete swords at the top of the Forbidden City, and the Emperor of Ming Dynasty wanted to watch peerless swordsmen compete swords, and invited them to come to compete swords. Which of these two words sounds better?"

"But Your Majesty, I still have it. There may be a conspiracy behind Ye Gucheng." Zhuge Zhengwo said again.

Zhu Qiyu said indifferently: "I have known for a long time that Nan Wang has planned for a long time, and Ye Gucheng participated in it. You know, Nan Wang's son is very similar to the emperor's brother. If I and the emperor's brother die, what will happen?"

The two were shocked when they heard the words. Their wisdom was far beyond ordinary people. When Zhu Qiyu raised a little bit, they figured it out. Zhu Qiyu died, and then killed Zhu Qizhen quietly. , You can ascend to the throne without any effort.

"Your Majesty, since this is the case, let's not let the sword competition start at the top of the Forbidden City. Even if you take the initiative to let those people in the Jianghu in to minimize the turmoil, who knows who those people in the Jianghu are hiding? Didn't you give them a chance? Assassinate His Majesty?" Yu Qian quickly persuaded.

Although Zhu Qiyu's work is a bit tired, he can give full play to his talents and abilities. He doesn't want to change to another boss. If the boss is as useless as Zhu Qizhen, he may cry to death.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head slightly: "The King of the South has been planning for 20 years, and the tree has grown deep. Gengzhou has been managed by him like an iron bucket, and the water can't get in. He has also penetrated into the border town that was handed over to the Southern Song Dynasty. According to normal methods, once forced to Against him, Ming Dynasty will definitely experience a turmoil, internal turmoil in Ming Dynasty, will the Mongolian Yuan, Xixia and other congresses jump up and take a bite?"

"Nanwang is not Chengzu, and he cannot use a state to fight against a country. He also knows in his heart that normal means cannot seize the throne, and he can only use a sideways sword. Since this is the case, I will also take a sideways sword and solve him."

Zhuge Zhengwo sighed slightly: "This is very dangerous."

Zhu Qiyu said: "With you, the Marquis of God, and Cao Zhengchun's guardianship, the danger will not be too great. Besides, in exchange for a little danger to solve King Nan, I believe that anyone will make the same choice as me."

If this is an ordinary world of martial arts, according to the original plot, Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue arranged a double to deceive everyone during the decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City, attracting everyone's attention to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.Then he can go to the South Study Room alone to assassinate the emperor.

Because the son of the Southern Prince's Mansion had a similar face to his own, Zhu Qizhen, Ye Gucheng wanted to secretly assassinate the emperor, and then use the Prince of the Southern Prince to create a big conspiracy of "crossing the sea" to turn the world upside down.

In that plot, the guards of the Daming Palace were really weak to succeed.

Chapter 49

But in the world of Wu Zong, the guards of the Daming Palace are very strong, Zhuge Zhengwo, Zhu Wushi, Cao Zhengchun and the others will definitely not ignore it, and even Patriarch Sunflower may consider it.

With so many expert guards, Ye Gucheng still wanted to assassinate, which was more than ten times more difficult, but at the same time, he also had many more accomplices, and Happy King and Xiaoyaohou were also two top experts.

But this is just the accomplices that have been found, are there any others that have not been found?

Zhu Qiyu is very confident in the intelligence network of bad people, but the intelligence network is not omnipotent, and there are always many things that cannot be found.

He sent unscrupulous people to monitor Nanwang's mansion, but not long ago, there was information that Nanwang and Nanwang's son were no longer in Nanwang's mansion.

They want to play assassination, but they are also afraid that others will play assassination, so they have long been prepared for this trick.

Judging from the original plot, Ye Gucheng is in the dominant position in this struggle for power and usurpation. This person has nothing to ask for because of his perfect swordsmanship. Big ambitions can also be said to kill the rest of the boring life.

Zhuge Zheng and I left full of thoughts. He entered the palace with what he thought was a shocking news, and left with an even more shocking truth.

…………

Yu Qian continued to report what he called the 'nucleating method'.

The Ministry of War and the Inspectorate will jointly verify the number of regiments and battalions to prevent officers and soldiers from running out of quota...

During this period of time, Yu Qian was so busy that his feet never touched the ground. It is too common to eat empty wages and quotas in various places in Ming Dynasty. It is very difficult to verify whether it is true or false.

This is what Yu Qian should be busy with.

Zhu Qiyu was not idle either, and dispatched civil servants from the Inspectorate to oversee the reclamation of military settlements in Xuanfu, Datong, and Jizhou.

Most of Jinyiwei and East Factory went north during this period.

Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zhen were naturally unable to escape responsibility for the Ming Dynasty's defeat in the Tumu Fortress change. Border smuggling and high-level insiders were also important reasons.

Previously, Zhu Qiyu killed a large number of people with a sharp knife, and if the circumstances were serious, he would punish the nine clans, copying and beheading the whole family, and if the circumstances were less serious, he would be exiled for thousands of miles.

Those who were taken directly by these people were relatively unscrupulous.

But there are still many people who have not found out.

For example, Zhao Fan, the deputy commander of the Zijing Pass, hid it very deeply and did not expose it. He did not reveal it until he also tackled the key first, causing great losses.

In Dongchang, Jin Yiwei went north to check on these people.

These days, the more Zhu Qiyu gets to know him, the more shocked he is by the serious corruption of the border defense situation left by Renxuan.

Although the two emperors Renxuan attached great importance to internal governance, which made the interior of the Ming Dynasty prosperous, they did not pay much attention to the border military, which made the border military gradually corrupt.

There is still salvation now, and in another 20 years, it will be hard to return.

It can be said that the frontier generals are all in command of these generals. It may be too much to kill one of them, but if they kill each other, they will definitely not kill more, only less.

Border generals like Shi Heng, armed with heavy troops to guard the border, don't even need to do it themselves, they just need to give a little convenience when others smuggle, and the benefits will continue to flow.

Beauty, money, wave after wave of offensive, it is too difficult to resist.

Zhu Qiyu approved Yu Qian's 'nuclearization method', he really wanted to know how many million troops there were in Ming Dynasty, and the situation of empty pay and empty quota must be curbed.

After Yu Qian left, Zhu Qiyu continued to review the memorial. What he is reviewing now is a memorial from the Ministry of Households as a reward from the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, which costs 28 taels.

After winning the battle, the Wala army was almost completely wiped out, and if they were captured first, they would naturally be rewarded.

But the treasury is out of money.

In a civil fort change, Daming lost 20 elites and hundreds of thousands of civilians, and the compensation for casualties almost emptied the treasury.

Before the civil fortress, Daming was plagued by constant floods. In order to control the continuous floods, the household department’s money seemed to flow like water. In addition to a civil fort change, the household department could not even come up with 28 taels.

Since he couldn't afford the money, he could only complain to the emperor.

Although there is no mention of using the money from the internal treasury in the Memorial of the Ministry of Accounting, Zhu Qiyu can see between the lines that the Ministry of Accounting is thinking about the money in the internal treasury.

The country is poor, but the emperor's treasury is rich.

Zhu Qiyu learned this from another memorial.

"Lin Xiuzuo, the eunuch of the internal transport warehouse, has collected and stored more than 72 taels of gold and more than 200 taels of silver since the Yongle period. More than a hundred taels, 24 taels of silver."

That is to say, the poor rats in the national treasury would cry and run out when they came in, but the internal treasury was very rich.

That is to say, Chengzu Zhu Di's internal treasury had a surplus of 72 taels of gold and 200 taels of silver. After two rewards, there were still nearly 400 million taels of silver and more than [-] taels of gold.

In Zhu Qiyu's impression, Zhu Di conquered the desert five times, made seven voyages to the West, repaired the Yongle Grand Ceremony, resorted to military tactics, exhausted the people, and suppressed all evils. He should have exhausted the country's savings like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Why did Yong Le Dynasty have so much surplus?

This is not normal.

The consumption of Wuzheng Desert every time is astronomical.

The seven voyages to the West and the repair of the Yongle Grand Ceremony also cost a lot.

Did so much money in the internal treasury fall from the sky?

Since you can't figure it out, find someone who can figure it out.

Jin Lian, Shangshu of Xuanhu Department, entered the palace.
