34: People’s hearts are in turmoil, and the civil officials of Chongzhen Dynasty struggled.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di knew Zhu Gaoxun’s ability. When they saw his fairy-like methods and his identity as the leader of the emperor’s chat group, they knew that this old Zhu family member was not simple.

But those are all hard power aspects. The two did not expect that Zhu Gaoxun was so meticulous and thoughtful in his mind!

As the saying goes, take one step and look three steps ahead.

Zhu Gaoxun hasn’t even started walking yet, but he has already arranged all the things that will happen later! This was the case with Wei Zaode before, and it is also the case with the means to deal with Li Zicheng now.

The two did not ask what arrangements Zhu Gaoxun had made. Zhu Yuanzhang spoke first and said,”I’m afraid that Li Zicheng won’t come for a while, and we don’t have so much food and money…….But if we take the initiative to attack, 30,000 people are too few to accomplish our goal.”

“That’s right.”Zhu Di continued,”I also realized this problem when I was selecting the generals, but there seemed to be some kind of restriction when providing assistance, and I was not allowed to bring enough food.”

Zhu Gaoyi then realized that the group storage space was only available to him.

The group space was very large, as large as three or four football fields in later generations, and it was more than enough to hold 30,000 military salaries per year.

If I put these two people in the group management, can they also use the group storage space? It is worth a try later…

Keeping this in mind, Zhu Gaoyi nodded and said,”Grandpa Emperor and father don’t have to worry. I will take care of the food and salary issues.”

“You come to solve it?” Zhu Di asked curiously,”The situation has been like this during the Chongzhen Dynasty, with natural disasters and man-made disasters constantly happening. I’m afraid it’s hard to buy food in Shuntian Prefecture even if you have money.”

“Since Gao Yu said he had a way to solve it, then there must be a way.”Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said,”Why are you asking so many questions? Can you, a bastard, imitate it?”

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhu Di was rebuked again, and he felt so depressed.

But intimidated by the old man’s majesty, Zhu Di really didn’t dare to contradict him. This was a blood pressure in his bones…….

Hearing the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, Zhu Gaoxun couldn’t help laughing, but he held back,”Let’s go have a meal. Four emperors in the same house is a spectacle, and it’s right to celebrate.”

Ever since he saw Zhu Gaoxun’s ability, Zhu Yuanzhang regarded Zhu Gaoxun as extremely important.

When Zhu Gaoxun spoke, he was the first to agree,”That’s great, we should have a good drink!”

Zhu Di chased the grandfather and grandson from behind, muttering,”And me, I want to drink too!”

At this time, Zhu Di understood that whenever Zhu Yuanzhang was present, he should not think about trying to make himself felt in front of Zhu Gaoxun, otherwise he would definitely suffer!……

In the past two days, Shuntian Prefecture was not peaceful, at least the officialdom was completely in turmoil.

Those who attended the court two days ago and those who did not attend the court gathered together at this moment.

After Wei Zaode was chopped by Zhu Gaoxun, the one who beat the head was Chen Yan, the former chief minister of the cabinet.

Compared with Zhou Yanru, a famous traitor in the late Chongzhen Dynasty, this man is even worse.

This guy took over Zhou Yanru’s class in the 16th year of Chongzhen. In the first month of the 17th year of Chongzhen, he was impeached and was angrily blasted out of the Huangji Hall and dismissed by Zhu Youjian.

Chen Yan knew that the giant ship of the Ming Dynasty was about to sink, and he had planned to escape from Shuntian Prefecture long ago, but there were too many properties in the family, and it was really inconvenient to escape, so he had been delayed until now.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxun had already sent people to strictly control Shuntian Prefecture. Ordinary people entering and leaving would be checked, let alone running away with property?

Therefore, after hearing about Zhu Gaoxun’s tough style, this guy felt sympathetic and gathered a group of people in the Tingyu Pavilion box.

Among them, Zhou Kui, the Earl of Jiading, was the most prominent. Apart from Chen Yan, Ruan Dacheng was the most famous among the civil officials.

It was really a pot of snakes, insects, rats and ants. All the more famous things in the late Ming Dynasty were here.

Chen Yan glanced at the whole audience, calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying:”Emperor Tiancheng gave three days that day, saying that he could forgive the past. What do you think?”

Although Chen Yan said this to everyone present, his eyes were actually on Zhou Kui, the father-in-law.

The latter was a smooth person and naturally understood what Chen Yan meant, but Zhou Kui was not stupid.

As a civil official, he would definitely not be able to play tricks with this group of civil officials.

When I came here today, I was just dumb at the time, just listening and not speaking.

Seeing Zhou Kui silent, Chen Yan frowned slightly, and cursed in his heart that the boy was not worth discussing.

This Zhou Kui is worthy of being a noble, and he is really a piece of mud that can’t be helped!

Seeing that his eyes frequently hinted, Zhou Kui remained indifferent, so he could only pay attention to others.

Seeing Ruan Dacheng thinking about something, Chen Yan’s eyes suddenly lit up,”Brother Jizhi, do you have any good ideas?”

Seeing Chen Yan’s name, Ruan Dacheng was not polite,”Since the Saint has named me, I will be polite.”

“That day, Emperor Cheng and……Taizu, Chengzu, how many troops did you bring with you?”

When he said this, Ruan Dacheng paused for a moment, and it was obvious that he was extremely shocked that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di appeared in the Chongzhen Dynasty.

“No more than 50,000.”

The person who spoke was an official who was present that day. He gave the number based on his own estimate.

“really!?”

“If there were a large number of people, Shuntian Prefecture would have been bustling with people by now, and it would definitely not be like today. There were few soldiers patrolling the streets.”

“That’s good.” Ruan Dacheng’s voice became more and more confident, and he sneered softly,”What do you think of the army of Li Zicheng, the rebel?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan immediately understood what Ruan Dacheng meant.

What if you are the Emperor Tiancheng? What if Taizu and Chengzu came? Now the Ming Dynasty is already in a state of poverty and corruption, and even gods can’t save it!

Chen Yan’s eyes lit up, and he said excitedly:”This rebel is the one who shouted ‘The rebel king is coming and we won’t pay taxes’. As early as the twelfth year of Chongzhen, he became a powerful figure with an army of tens of thousands!”

“Now there are only old and young soldiers in the capital. Even with the three soldiers, they will not be able to resist Li Zicheng!”

Hearing this, Zhou Kui also perked up.

But when he thought of the terrifying weapons that day, he couldn’t help but tremble and retorted:”The weapons of Emperor Cheng that day were extremely powerful…….”

Chen Yan had always looked down on Zhou Kui, and now that the clouds had been cleared and the light had come out, he looked down on Zhou Kui even more. He immediately sneered at Zhou Kui and said,”They are just some firearms. The Ming army, the rebels, and the Jian slaves all have such firearms.”

“Could it be that Earl Jiading was frightened by that young boy and wanted to offer his wealth to save his life? Don’t say I didn’t warn you, Emperor Tiancheng is definitely not someone you can easily deal with, Earl Jiading, please take care of yourself!”

“you……”Zhou Kui wanted to refute loudly, but the horrible appearance of Wei Zaode after being skinned and stuffed with straw in his mind made him shudder.”How can I believe what that man says?”……”

Seeing Zhou Kui’s timid and mean behavior, Chen Yan looked down on him even more.

However, he was too lazy to argue with this man, and bowed directly to Ruan Dacheng and said,”If you want to save your life, you can’t just rely on Li Zicheng. I hope Brother Jizhi can give you some advice.”

After that, Chen Yan personally took the wine pot to pour wine for Ruan Dacheng. In order to stay alive, this guy really lowered his posture.

Although the people at the scene secretly complained about Chen Yan’s behavior in their hearts, they had a smile on their faces and kept complimenting Ruan Dacheng.

Even Zhou Kui looked at Ruan Dacheng with a flattering expression at this time, and his heart was full of desire for life.

And Ruan Dacheng did not disappoint the people present, and quickly gave his plan.

It’s just……No one present had expected that Ruan Dacheng’s plan would be so bold!

If he failed, it would not just be death, but also ruin and disgrace for the world!
