Chapter 484
Zhu Qizhen ordered someone to fetch a map and said, "You can choose a location yourself."

Tuotuobuhua was overjoyed, pointed at the Onan River and said: "The ancestors of the minister raised troops from the Onan River..."

"Not here, change to another place!"

Zhu Qizhen understood what he meant and interrupted directly.

Onan River has been given to Duoyan Sanwei, you go back now, where will Duoyan Sanwei go?
Tuotuo Buhua was immediately displeased, and secretly worried.

In his consciousness, the Han people have always been cunning, but he didn't expect to go so far. They want to renege on their debts before the battle is over?

Zhu Qizhen saw what he was thinking, and said, "I asked you to change to another place, but I didn't say no to you. Mobei is so big, do you insist on staring at the Onan River?"

Tuotuobuhua scratched her head and said, "The ancestral grave of our Golden Family is still in the Onan River..."

Zhu Qizhen laughed suddenly, and asked back: "Where are the ancestral graves of your ancestors hidden, can you still find them?"

Whether it was Genghis Khan or the later emperors of the Yuan Dynasty, their tombs are very special, and the biggest feature is that... they cannot be found!

When the Mongolian emperor was buried, there was a separate process, and the main one was random.

It is to find a random place on the grassland and bury it. After that, tens of thousands of horses gallop to level the tomb. There is no map, no coordinates, and no reference. When the grass grows next year, it is completely impossible to distinguish.

Such a mausoleum is very secretive, not to mention tomb robbers, even the entourage who went to the burial back then can only look at the grass and sigh.

When later generations offered sacrifices, a special method was adopted, that is, when the emperor was buried, he brought a mare and a young horse, and then killed the young horse in front of the mare.

In the second year, I brought the mare to the grassland. The old horse knew the way. The mare would cry when she saw the place where her child died. This place was identified as the mausoleum.

However, it has been five years since the Tatar tribe left Mobei, and the mare left behind has long since disappeared. Even if they wanted to sacrifice, they could not find the tombs of their predecessors.

After thinking about it for a long time, Tuotuo casually swiped in Mobei and said, "These places are fine."

Zhu Qizhen shook his head again and said, "Not even here."

"Why?"

"This is all my land. Guards and yamen have been set up, and people have been resettled. What's the matter with you suddenly coming here?"

Tuotuobuhua finally changed his face, is he really going to renege on his debt?
I thought those officials had no lower limit, but I didn't expect you to be a majestic son of heaven, and you would also engage in the practice of killing donkeys?
"Your Majesty, you have personally agreed!"

"I promised you, but I didn't say that I would support you. If you want to survive, you have to fight for it yourself."

Tuotuobuhua was completely dumbfounded, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhu Qizhen's fingers slowly slid across the map, until he left the territory of Daming, and continued to the northwest...

Tuotuo Buhua's expression tightened, and his eyes moved accordingly.

Finally, it stopped at the Yenisei River Basin in the northwest of Daming.

"This is...Wala's territory?"

Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly, and said: "To be precise, it is now Oara's territory."

Speaking of this, Tuotuobuhua is not clear.

There is no free beef jerky in the world. If you want to occupy a place to survive, you have to fight it yourself, kill Wala, and this place belongs to Tatar.

He pondered for a long time, and said: "There are less than 2000 people in our department capable of fighting, and the Oala department..."

"You don't need to worry about these, whether you need troops, weapons, equipment, or logistical supplies, I will satisfy you!"

Tuotuo Buhua was overjoyed immediately, and said: "With the help of the emperor, the mere tiles are just a bunch of chickens and tile dogs!"

"I can't divide the troops for the time being, you need to slow down your affairs."

"Just ask the emperor to order. I will help the emperor put down the rebellion first. Otherwise, how can I have the face to ask for soldiers and equipment?"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and said: "You are a smart person, I won't say too much, when I return to the capital, I will fulfill what I promised you!"

Tuotuobuhua clapped his hands and saluted: "I obey the order!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Qizhen summoned Yu Qian again.

"Your servants on the left and right are all involved in the rebellion. You, the Minister, don't even know about it?"

Yu Qian obviously didn't understand the seriousness of the matter, so he froze on the spot.

"Your Majesty, where did you start talking about this?"

Zhu Qizhen knew that he had just returned from the north and didn't know what happened in the court, so he told everything in detail.

Yu Qian thought that it was just Tuotuo Buhua who had bribed the internal support of the court, but he did not expect that someone in the court planned a coup, and the Tatar Ministry was just a knife.

The matter is far more serious than imagined, Tuotuobuhua successfully entered Mobei, how could the real behind-the-scenes person not act?
From this point of view, the capital is in danger!

What is even more infuriating is that the planner of this coup, or the main planner, turned out to be the left and right servants of the Ministry of War.

And I, the Minister of the Ministry of War, didn't even know about it beforehand!
"The minister's crime is unavoidable, but now there is only a fight to the death to repay the grace of God!"

Zhu Qizhen looked at him coldly, after all, he let out a long sigh.

"Your problem will be settled later, and now I have a task for you."

Yu Qian hurriedly replied: "Please give orders, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Qizhen pointed to the map and said: "After thinking about it, those who can plan a coup must have a deep foundation in the court. Before I came to power, the court was headed by San Yang. Their disciples, children, relatives and friends It has already spread all over the court, and today's events are inseparable from these people in all likelihood."

Yu Qian was in a cold sweat. These three were veteran ministers who had experienced the Five Dynasties, and they were recognized as virtuous ministers by the world.

Moreover, Sanyang's influence is not only limited to the imperial court, but also a leader in the literary world.

People in the world say that Yang Shiqi is knowledgeable, Yang Rong is talented, and Yang Pu is elegant. Almost all the good names in the world are occupied by three people. How could it be related to the word "rebellion"?
Zhu Qizhen continued: "Sanyang's foundation in the imperial court is too deep. Before Emperor Taizong moved the capital, all the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River followed Sanyang's lead. I am worried about these people."

Yu Qian didn't understand very much, and murmured: "The three Master Yang...impossible..."

Zhu Qizhen asked suddenly: "What's impossible?"

Yu Qian calmed down and said: "The three Master Yang have both character and character, and are highly respected..."

Zhu Qizhen sneered, and asked again: "Have you forgotten how Yang Shiqi became an official?"

Yu Qian was stunned. Yang Shiqi had been in the cabinet for more than 21 years and served as the chief assistant for [-] years after the five dynasties. After the death of Emperor Xuanzong, Zhu Qizhen succeeded to the throne at the age of eight. An important minister, but because of the murder case of his son Yang Ji, he asked himself to resign and return to his hometown, and he died in depression ever since.

"Your Majesty, Master Yang resigned because he was attacked by Wang Zhen's party..."

"If his son didn't kill someone, what would Wang Zhen use to attack him?"

Yu Qian was silent, yes, in the final analysis, the Yang family was at fault for this matter.

In the seventh year of Zhengtong, the Empress Dowager Zhang passed away, Wang Zhen was in charge of the court alone, all officials were arrested if they were dissatisfied, and all courtiers were in danger. Only Yang Shiqi could stand against him.

Unexpectedly, Yang Ji, the son of Yang Shiqi, is arrogant, bullying men and women in his hometown, and even causing death.

Afterwards, the censor impeached him and brought the case to the capital. In the face of irrefutable evidence, Yang Shiqi had to admit that his family education was not strict, and resigned because of his old illness.

After Yang Ji was executed according to the law, Yang Shiqi was even more depressed, and soon let go.

From then on, Wang Zhen became more powerful and suppressed the other two Yangs and even the cholera government in one fell swoop, and was finally chopped down by the emperor in Tumubao.

At that time, everyone knew that it was Wang Zhen's idea to impeach Yang Shiqi. He wanted to catch Yang Shiqi's son harming the people and put him to death.

However, the emperor is right, you will be arrested only if you have a handle.

If you take good care of your family and don't do things that violate the law and discipline, no one can do anything if they want to criticize you.

Zhu Qizhen said thoughtfully, "At that time, I was just 15 years old, and the Yang Ji case was the first major case I personally intervened. Do you know how Yang Qing's family did it?"

Yu Qian was puzzled and said: "After this case happened, Mr. Yang blamed himself very much, thinking that he had committed lax discipline, so he resigned."

"What you see and hear are just appearances."

Zhu Qizhen sneered suddenly, and said: "Yang Ji beat someone to death, and the sufferer went to file a complaint, but he didn't know that the Yang family had dealt with all the local government offices in the prefecture and county, and this case was suppressed abruptly."

A big question mark appeared on Yu Qian's face, why did the emperor say something different from what he knew?
"I have the guts to say that the Yang family bribed the government in private, and Master Yang probably didn't know about it..."

"You are wrong again!"

Zhu Qizhen said indifferently: "The local government just received a note from Yang Shiqi, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and then suppressed the case. There is no way for the sufferer to sue. If it weren't for the secret performance of Jin Yiwei, this case would never be revealed to the world. .”

The more Yu Qian listened, the more shocked he felt.

It turns out that the imperial censor's impeachment was not Wang Zhen's idea, but the emperor himself ordered it!
Under the circumstances at that time, one was the young emperor who was about to take charge of the government, and the other was a veteran official of the Five Dynasties who held great power. The first confrontation between the two was life and death!
Everyone in the world knows that in the early years of orthodoxy, it was all relying on Sanyang to rule the world. Although there were Wang Zhenzhi and others who caused chaos in the court, the world was finally handed over to the emperor smoothly.

However, the truth of the matter is how cruel the transfer of power is!

What happened 14 years ago, for Zhu Qizhen now, one word is very appropriate to describe it, it seems like a lifetime away.

He used to be very dissatisfied with his predecessor, and didn't even want to mention the shitty things in his memory. It wasn't until this coup that he re-examined the world.

I originally thought that as long as I worked hard to develop, I could change the world, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated the horror of human nature.

Over the past few days, he has been thinking carefully, and gradually sorted out the context of the whole thing from the bits and pieces of his previous life.

"I tell you these things, I just want you to know that the court is not as simple as you imagined, and not all people are as selfless as you. Over the years, when I launched a new policy, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River reacted the most. Strong, do you know why?"

Yu Qian thought for a while and replied, "It's probably because the New Deal has moved their interests."

"That's right, no matter whether it's selling people into acres, canceling household registration, or opening up seas for business, it has dealt a big blow to the traditional gentry class. If they want to guard their land as before, it is almost impossible for them to be landowners. .”

"What the emperor has done is beneficial to the country and the people, and it is not aimed at those gentry and aristocratic families..."

"I'm targeting them!"

Zhu Qizhen's tone was very strong, and he said: "Do they have any privileges, I am the Son of Heaven, why should I spoil a group of gentry?"

"When Emperor Taizu founded the country, he ordered to treat scholars preferentially..."

"Isn't that enough preferential treatment?"

Zhu Qizhen didn't mean to finish Qian's speech at all, and said sharply: "In the hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, how serious has the land annexation become? How did the common people's land get into the hands of the gentry? Why do people flee from time to time all over the world?"

Facing a series of questions, Yu Qian remained silent.

He himself is a gentry class, but what these people do, especially the way they treat the common people, is really disgusting.

Everything is inferior, only reading is high.

The reason why scholars are superior to others is that on the surface it is because scholars have high moral character, but in fact, it is because studying can lead to official careers.

In this world, if you have the power, you can do whatever you want.

If Yang Ji beat someone to death in his hometown, relying on Yang Shiqi's status, the government didn't dare to take care of him. As for the one who was beaten to death, you can only be considered unlucky.

If the emperor hadn't personally intervened, I'm afraid such a case would have been lost forever.

What is honest and honest, what is the decision for the people, it is bullshit!

Zhu Qizhen continued: "When I opened the sea, the most vocal opponents were the gentry from the south of the Yangtze River. Every one of them said that the sea ban was an ancestral system, but secretly engaged in smuggling. Do you think they deserve to die?"

Yu Qian lowered his head and replied, "Damn it!"

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said: "I have always believed that governing the world requires both morality and ability, and I can't rely too much on prisons. I often arrest people in big prisons and torture them so severely that all officials are in a state of panic all day long. How merciful!"

Yu Qian has already understood that the emperor will not trust anyone after this coup.

The capital, and even the whole world, will soon be bleeding like rivers.

"Wala Sangchi is nothing to be afraid of, and there is no need for three groups of soldiers and horses. I issued an imperial decree, you bring it to Juluhou, and order him to lead the Mohe Guards into the sea from Liaodong, land at Tianjin Guards, and then go straight to the capital to clear them. Betrayal!"

Yu Qian saluted and said: "The minister and Juluhou set off immediately!"

Zhu Qizhen glanced at him and said, "I'm talking about Juluhou."

Yu Qian wondered: "Chen...won't you go?"

Zhu Qizhen said: "You choose a few able-bodied people from Mohewei, and go to Jiaozhi by sea."

Yu Qian was still puzzled, and said, "Please make it clear, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Qizhen said slowly: "The decree is sent to the king of Ying, the king of Jing'an, and the Duke of Qianguo to call up troops and horses to take over the military defense and civil affairs along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and to investigate all gentry officials. As long as they are found to be related to this coup, There is no need to play, and there will be no pardon!"

Yu Qian's expression froze, and he saluted: "Observe the order!"
