Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 566 Goddess of Kong Na!

In the second year of Fuli, Cui Hun's life underwent a major change.

Because this year, when he was still ignorant, he lost the qualification to be a man.

Although it was Daming who took the initiative to ask North Korea for eunuchs to enrich the harem, he did not hate Daming, and was even a little grateful to Daming.

Because the Daming people not only gave him the right to choose, but also clearly told him what he would lose.

Moreover, after learning that his parents had not received full compensation, the Ming officials who were responsible for recruiting the eunuchs went to the palace to question the king himself, and helped his family get the compensation they deserved.

In addition, he met a nobleman in Daming. This nobleman not only took good care of him, but even ordered his parents to be taken to Daming, so that they could live a good life.

If I have to say I'm sorry to anyone, I'm probably only sorry for Wang De, the head of the North Palace.

Wang De's foster father is also good to himself, and once said that he should focus on cultivating himself so that he can read and write.

It's just that the foster father's love came too late, he had already dedicated his loyalty to another noble person.

"Then it's gone!"

When Cui Hun heard this, a strange smile appeared on his face.

He succeeded!

He not only avenged himself, but also repaid the kindness of the nobleman!

Kings!

It was you who were unkind first, and I was unrighteous. I, Cui Hun, did not feel sorry for North Korea, it was you who felt sorry for North Korea!

While Cui Hun was doing psychological training, Lao Zhu expressed some surprise.

Because Ming is now fighting against Beiyuan, it may not be able to spare enough troops to conquer North Korea.

Although the Daming navy is invincible, no matter how invincible the ships at sea are, they will land and fight after all.

Li Fangyuan in the Northern Dynasty was not only a good fighter, but also good at civil affairs.

It is said that under his rule, the Northern Dynasties even had a ZTE atmosphere, attracting many people with lofty ideals from the Southern Dynasties and Korea to join him.

Of course, more people choose to be close to the Ming Dynasty and send their descendants to study in Daming.

After all, Daming is stronger and can provide them with more opportunities.

"Dasun, we have no objection to your use of troops abroad, but you must know that no matter how big a country is, warlike ones will surely perish."

Zhu Yunxi nodded when he heard the words.

"Grandfather always remembers the teachings of Grandpa Huang, but please rest assured, Grandpa Huang, grandson did not make this decision on a whim."

"Sun'er divided North Korea into three in order to cause endless internal friction. When they are almost killing each other, the people of Ming Dynasty can naturally move there, occupy the familiar land there, and turn it into a prefecture of Ming Dynasty. "

"But Li Fangyuan has gone too far in the past few years. It's nothing more than faintly antagonizing Daming. He even played foreign policy with the Southern Dynasty and Koryo in an attempt to ease the relationship between the other two countries, so as to slowly conquer in peace and stability."

"This deviates from my vision, how can I let him continue to grow?"

Lao Zhu also expressed his understanding when he heard the words, but just raised another worry.

"What you said is not unreasonable, but where will the troops be drawn from?"

"Conquest and occupation are different. To conquer the Northern Dynasty, your navy alone is enough. But if you want to occupy the Northern Dynasty and completely incorporate it into the territory of Ming Dynasty, you can't rely on the navy alone. You must have enough troops on the ground and be able to stay there for a long time. , to prevent the enemy from rebelling."

"We fought in Yunnan back then, and we fought for several years without mentioning it. At the end of the day, we even threw Muying over there to guard..."

"Let's not talk about the candidates for the guards. The Daming Guard's army alone has been transferred by you. Where do you plan to transfer the troops?"

This is difficult for Zhu Yunxi, he doesn't know where to transfer troops for a while.

Now that the Beiyuan War has reached a critical period, there may be good news of victory ahead at any time.

Once the troops are withdrawn at this time, not only the efforts of several years will be wasted, but the best time to destroy the Yuan may even be missed.

"If you think about it, grandson Rong, the Chinese New Year is coming soon anyway, and it's fine to clean up the Northern Dynasty after the Chinese New Year."

"Let's deal with this guy first. This guy is so brave. He dared to attack my unborn child. It's not enough to vent my hatred if I don't tear it up!"

"This guy..."

Old Zhu thought a little differently, and said to Jin Yiwei who was beside him.

"Take it down for interrogation, if there is no other mastermind, kill it!"

When Jin Yiwei heard the words, he immediately promised, and then took Cui Hun down to torture him.

Not long after, there was a sound of howling ghosts and howling wolves outside the door, which frightened the palace maids and eunuchs in Mu Yao's bedroom to tremble.

This is also the effect Jin Yiwei wants to achieve, they just want to make the people inside feel fear and terror.

However, the howling didn't last long, and the crying stopped abruptly.

Jin Yiwei Jiang Yu took Cui Hun's body and came to Lao Zhu to return to his life.

"Your Majesty, this person insisted that he was instructed by his lord, Li Fangyuan, and said that he didn't know that the concubine Mu was pregnant, but just buried musk under the trees in every palace as planned!"

Zhu Yunxi frowned when he heard this, feeling that the eunuch was too cheap, but Lao Zhu was very satisfied, and immediately decided to end the case.

"it is good!"

"Send someone to question Li Fangyuan, the ruler of the Northern Dynasty, and ask him to give Daming an explanation!"

"At the same time, none of the people in this palace can stay, and all of them will be dispatched to the imperial mausoleum to sweep the tomb!"

"promise!"

After Lao Zhu dealt with the case in a hurry, he went back to the palace to sleep under the pretext of being sleepy.Zhu Yunxi wanted to send him off, but he flatly refused.

"Hurry up and go back to the palace to do business, we don't care for you to send it off!"

"Ugh……"

"Grandfather, did you deal with this matter too quickly?"

"Grandson feels that this matter must not be so simple. Firstly, Li Fang is far from stupid and would not do such a stupid thing. Second, after the North Korean eunuchs entered the palace, they came into contact with too many people, so they were inevitably bribed by others and made a fool of themselves. Something against the ancestors."

"is it?"

Old Zhu asked back in surprise, then yawned and left, leaving only Zhu Yunxi standing there blankly.

Zhu Yunxi was sure that Lao Zhu could also think of these things.But he still cut off the line quickly, maybe he was protecting some people.

In fact, Lao Zhu did have doubts, but he was not protecting someone, but he was afraid of over-interrogating and interrogating some things that should not be said.

For example, the little eunuch couldn't bear the punishment and began to bite randomly.

No matter who he bites out, it will leave a nail in Dasun's heart.

If a rebellious son or grandson is bitten out, then their old Zhu family will not be able to survive?

Therefore, he simply didn't give the other party a chance to talk nonsense, and ordered someone to kill him under casual interrogation, so as to eliminate the possibility of alienating the Tian family's flesh and blood.

After Lao Zhu took his concubine Mu's family to the Forbidden City and executed a young eunuch in Beigong, the officialdom in the entire capital was slightly shaken.

The emperor's grandson has a queen, which is great news!

Whether it is the general Xungui or the civil servant Qingliu, they all feel grateful for Daming from the bottom of their hearts.

If they were placed in the past, they would definitely be more inclined to Zhu Yunqi.But when Zhu Yunxi accepted Kong's daughter-in-law as his concubine, all civil servants focused on Zhu Yunxi.

After all, Yan Shenggong's vision is not bad, he can take the initiative to marry his granddaughter to the emperor's grandson, he must have seen Zhu Yunxi's ability.

In fact, Zhu Yunxi was indeed very capable. After his Northern Palace began to operate, officials of the Ming Dynasty never defaulted on their salaries, or used groceries such as salted fish and spices to pay their salaries.

Even the precious banknotes were discarded by him, and replaced with more credible and more purchasing power gold notes, silver notes, copper notes, etc.

Although these gold, silver and copper notes are made of paper, just like the Daming banknotes.But these gold, silver and copper bills are much stronger than precious banknotes. As much as they are printed on them, they can be exchanged for the same amount of copper coins or silver dollars from the bank.

Moreover, when merchants and common people pay taxes, they can also use gold, silver and copper tickets, and the government cannot refuse them.

In addition, gold, silver and copper tickets will not be discounted even if they are defaced, depreciated, or faded. They can be exchanged for the equivalent amount of metal currency at any bank, or exchanged for a brand new ticket.

Under Zhu Yunxie's drastic reforms, Ming officials were not only not afraid of receiving banknotes, but were willing to accept them.

After all, paper money is much lighter than metal currency.As long as you put it in the sleeve, it looks so light and weightless.

Of course, if someone asks them to do business, it will be more convenient to give them gifts...

Although they were very excited that the emperor's grandson had a queen, they were shocked when they heard about the old emperor's treatment.

Because this is not the old emperor's way of doing things. Murdering the emperor's heir is a serious crime against the nine clans. Even if Ling Chi is executed, it is not surprising that the old emperor killed the chief culprit so easily?

The civil servants were stunned, and the generals were dumbfounded.

But the best of the civil servants and generals quietly made their own choices.

Tang He terminated his contacts with all the princes and sons-in-law. His family has a big business and many children. Not only did he marry the royal daughter-in-law, but he also married many daughters to the royal family.

In the past, he had very close contacts with his sons-in-law, but after Lao Zhu dealt with the murderer of the emperor's heir so hastily, he realized that something was wrong.

If it weren't for the fact that someone from the royal family might be involved in this matter, with Zhu Tuhu's personality, how could he let it go so easily?

It's just that he doesn't know which traitor in the royal family did it now, so for the sake of safety, he simply made a one-size-fits-all to avoid bleeding in the future after the incident happened.

When Yan Shenggong heard about this, he hurried into the palace to see him.

However, after a few words with the emperor's grandson, he went straight to the point of wanting to see his granddaughter.

Of course Zhu Yunxi couldn't stop him, but he couldn't let him go to his harem either. He could only order someone to call Kong over and let the old Kong to meet him in the front hall.

Originally, Zhu Yunxi didn't want to leave, but wanted to entertain old Kongtou with Kong.

But old Kongtou unceremoniously issued an order to expel him.

"Emperor grandson, you are busy with business, so you don't have to accompany me, an old man!"

"Uh……"

Zhu Yunxi was stunned when he heard this, but he couldn't hold back, so he could only laugh in embarrassment.

"Mr. Yansheng, don't rush to leave. I have already ordered someone to prepare a banquet. I must treat you well with Concubine Grandson today!"

Old Kongtou said with a smile when he heard the words.

"If you dare to be kind, the old man would be more respectful than obedient!"

After Zhu Yunxi left, the concubine Kong Yanshu immediately gave family salutes to her grandfather.

Kong Na didn't even wait for her to finish paying homage before yelling at her.

"You are so confused!"

Kong Yanshu asked in puzzlement.

"Grandfather, why is my granddaughter so confused?"

"Since the granddaughter entered the palace, it can be said that she has been careful in every way, cautious and cautious, for fear of making a mistake."

Kong Na snorted coldly when he heard the words.

"Recently, Your Majesty has disposed of a eunuch, and even dispatched all the maids and eunuchs in Concubine Mu's Palace?"

"Yes!"

"Do you know why this is?"

Kong Yanshu shook her head upon hearing this.

"Granddaughter doesn't know!"

"However, my granddaughter heard that that person was recruited. She said that he was instructed by Li Fangyuan, the leader of the Northern Dynasty, and His Majesty ordered him to be killed in a fit of rage!"

Kong Na sneered again when he heard the words.

"This is where you are confused, and this kind of words can only deceive an ignorant woman like you."

"If what the eunuch said is true, His Majesty will never kill him. He must be taken as a hostage to the Northern Dynasty to interrogate Li Fangyuan and ask him to give Daming an explanation."

"If what the eunuch said is false, His Majesty will not be able to kill him, because once he is killed, no one will know the truth anymore."

Kong Yanshu was also confused when she heard this, and asked with a puzzled face.

"Then why does Your Majesty..."

Kong Na heard the words and praised sincerely.

"This is His Majesty's brilliance. Whether this person is killed or not killed is a trouble."

"If you let him grab and bite, you may be able to tell who will be pulled out. Moreover, there is often no evidence for such things, and it all depends on the eunuch's confession."

"It is difficult for the wronged to prove their innocence, and it is also difficult for Jin Yiwei to collect evidence."

"Besides, there are too many suspects. Let's not talk about the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi, just talk about the vassal princes of Ming Dynasty. Everyone is suspected."

"After all, as long as the emperor's grandson has no heirs, the position of the emperor's grandson will inevitably be unstable. Even if the old emperor loves the emperor's grandson and is unwilling to abandon his position as the emperor's grandson, he will choose a suitable person from the clan's children to adopt him. "

"what?"

Kong Yanshu was stunned when she heard this. She never imagined that such a small case would involve so many things.

However, Kong Na hadn't finished speaking, and the next words directly made Kong Yanshu's heart sink to the bottom.

"There is also a possibility that she is protecting you and giving you some face for the real concubine grandson."

"I?"

"What does this have to do with my granddaughter, my granddaughter never knew that Mrs. Mu was pregnant!"

When Kong Yanshu said this, there was a bit of anger on his face.

This incident made her very wronged. She is the real grandson concubine, and it would be embarrassing to be robbed by a concubine.

Now the Mu family has come up with another trick to conceal her pregnancy, so how can outsiders see her as a concubine?
If it weren't for her being too arrogant and domineering as a concubine, how could a side concubine be so forbearing and careful?

"Grandfather, granddaughter is wronged, oh..."

Kong Na couldn't bear to see his daughter crying.

"Ugh!"

"I can't blame you for this, but since you are sitting in this position, you must bear the crime."

"I……"

"Grandfather, please tell me, what should my granddaughter do next?"

"With disheveled hair, take off the hairpins. Plain clothes and plain shirts, enter the palace to plead guilty!"

Kong Yanshu exploded on the spot when she heard this.

"What's wrong with my granddaughter? It's clearly that slut who used the heart of a villain to judge the belly of a gentleman and deliberately framed me!"

When Kong Na heard this, he immediately raised his hand to hit him.But after struggling for a long time, he was finally unwilling to fight.

"That's why I called you stupid!"

"Whether it has anything to do with you or not, you can't shirk this responsibility!"

"You have to show enough humility to admit that you didn't take good care of yourself. You failed to protect the Mu family and almost caused a catastrophe..."

"At the same time, you have to strive to bring Mu Shi back, and take care of her food and daily life personally until she is safe and remains the emperor's heir."

"Only in this way can the world dispel their doubts about you, and at the same time prove to the world that you have the heart and bearing of a mother!"
