Chapter 63 Make money!Collect protection gifts!May there be another life to be your wife!First kill the three surnamed house slaves
"Jin Zhong, you and Feng Xiao will go in person and recruit a group of eunuchs and maids according to the number of eunuchs and maids in Qianqing Palace to serve in front of the imperial court."
"Except for the two of you, all the eunuchs and maids of the Qianqing Palace will be formed into a group of two. An old man from the Qianqing Palace will lead a newcomer, and they will be paired randomly. Each group supervises each other and is subordinate to each other. They must be together for twelve hours. , even when it is convenient, you are not allowed to leave each other's sight!"
"One made a mistake, the other didn't report it, and the two were beheaded together! Even the family members!"
"Report the verdict, and reward!"
"You send out your confidants to spread among the palace people, observe secretly, and find out all those who have ulterior motives!"
"I want to make this palace clean, no oil can get in, no needles can get in!"
"Can it be done?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Jin Zhong.
"I can do it even if I risk my life!" Jin Zhong knelt down and kowtowed.
"Go ahead and recruit more young palace servants. It's okay to be stupid, loyalty is the most important thing. You pick people with wide eyes. Remember, try to pick those palace servants who are low in status, angry, and tortured in various prisons. "
"Understood? Don't bluff to recruit people, observe first, watch quietly, don't listen to other people's opinions, trust your own eyes! Your eyes are my eyes! I entrust my safety to you, you Keep your eyes open!"
Zhu Qiyu repeatedly told him that it was not that he had never cleaned up the Qianqing Palace, but he was still a sieve.If all these palace people are released, the people who come in cannot guarantee that they are not spies, so it is useless to replace them.
It is necessary to use the method of supervision and continuous sitting to create terror in order to hold the Qianqing Palace in your hands.
But we must also beware of spies jumping over the wall in a hurry, so it is best to confine his activities to the Xinuan Pavilion, and keep less contact with the palace people. After the Qianqing Palace is cleaned up, it will be safe.
"The servant is in command! If there is another mistake in the Qianqing Palace, please ask the emperor to pick out the eyeballs of the servant!" Jin Zhong became ruthless.
"You don't need to say such cruel words. You follow me through life and death, and I trust you." Zhu Qiyu helped him up.
Watch Jin Zhong and Feng Xiao go to pick someone.
"My lord, Concubine Xian's body can't support her anymore!" Dai Han, the eunuch in Concubine Xian's palace, cried out.
"I'll go right away."
Dai Han was still crying, kowtowing desperately: "My lady wants to see you..."
"You go out first, I'll go when I'm done!"
Zhu Qiyu asked Dai Han to be taken out, and looked at Zhang Renxiao.
Zhang Renxiao's mouth was gagged, worried that he would disturb the emperor by crying.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Zhang Renxiao was so stared at by the emperor, he cried and begged for mercy as soon as he could speak, ignoring the pain in his hand.
"I said, I won't kill you, as long as you haven't committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, I won't kill you!"
Zhang Renxiao cried, his family is very rich in Pingyang, how could it be possible that the family only has 500 taels of silver?You are really deceiving the king, you are on the verge of death!
"Is Ai Chonggao still alive? Come on, heal his wounds, don't be too violent in the future, chop off people's hands every now and then, it's too cruel, throw these fingers out to feed the dogs."
Zhu Qiyu looked at other merchants.
Everyone was terrified, thinking that the emperor was going to kill the chicken to get the eggs.
As long as you can save your life, it's fine. At worst, it's better to go to Wala than to suffer in Daming.
"I will give you another chance to donate!" Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered.
coming!
Some merchants knelt on the ground and kowtowed like garlic: "Caomin is willing to donate all his family wealth! Just save the life of the grassroots, that's all!"
"Grassmen too!"
Everyone wailed, Zhang Renxiao was too miserable, he lost one hand, and his house was ransacked, too miserable.
"Ha, I'm not a robber, how can I take your property for nothing?"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Who do you think I am?"
"Your Majesty didn't ask for it, we donated it voluntarily!" These businessmen burst into tears.
Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly: "You are all sent by Wang Zhen to buy my Huangzhuang at a low price! Obviously you came to take advantage of me, but why did you become like I bullied you?"
They just cry.
"Forget it, I am not a violent king, and I will not pursue the crime of deceiving the king like you!"
Seeing that they were all terrified, Zhu Qiyu stopped scaring them and asked, "How many shops do you have in Beijing?"
"Tell the truth!" Zhu Qiyu shouted coldly.
"Twelve families!" Someone reported it first, and others followed suit, not daring to hide it.
"What's the scale? What's the profit? Hurry up, I'll take your whole family to the test if I delay Concubine Xian's illness!" Zhu Qiyu asked.
It's over, the emperor is about to decide!
The family property will definitely not be able to be kept, as long as you can keep your arms and legs, you will be satisfied.
They spoke out in fits and starts.
After hearing this, Zhu Qiyu knew it well, and said slowly: "According to the size of the shop, the smallest shop will pay 1000 taels of silver, and it will be paid every year, which is counted as a business tax!"
"Ah?" The businessman was stunned for a moment, and said weakly, "We have paid all the business taxes."
You really want money but not life!
Zhu Qiyu rolled his eyes: "It's called a protection gift, and the people in Dongchang will collect it!"
The protection tax is aimed at all merchants, and the collection rules need to be formulated in detail, first implemented in the capital, and finally collected nationwide.
Those merchants lowered their heads and dared not respond, and the emperor was nothing more than forced expropriation.
"Get up and sit down."
Zhu Qiyu asked people to go to Jindun and ordered them to sit down.
But who would dare to sit down, Zhang Renxiao sat down loudly, and then his hands were gone, and his home was gone...
These merchants are still on their knees.
Zhu Qiyu didn't make things difficult for them, and said slowly: "I also know that doing business is not easy, and I don't discriminate against businessmen."
"East Factory is not a yamen for stealing money."
"When you are doing business in Beijing and China, do you need to use contacts and find backers? Does someone usually go to the store to make trouble? Beijing and China patrols eat and drink for free in your store. Do you dare to speak out?"
"But if you hand in the protection gift, Dongchang will be the backstage for you! I will be the backstage for you!"
"Who is the biggest in this world? I am the biggest!"
"Do you still need to have a relationship? Are you still worried about being bullied?"
"As long as you operate legally, I will support you!"
"So, this money is not paid for nothing! Do you understand?"
Zhu Qiyu had a whim, and the details still needed to be filled in. The merchant protection tax was levied, and the money came in a steady stream, unlike a one-off sale of a house.
It happened to be an opportunity for the expansion of the East Factory. By the way, spies were placed among the merchants to expand the influence in Beijing. The sphere of influence covered the entire capital, and the emperor's eyes saw the whole city.
Moreover, the money from the protection tax is enough to support Dongchang, and there will be surplus in the future.
"How do you feel about protecting Fu?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Good! Very good!"
Who dares to say it's not good, Your Majesty, the example of Zhang Renxiao is right there. Look at the doctor who was limping in the aisle, with gloomy eyes, giving Zhang Renxiao medicine, and screaming louder than Zhang Renxiao when his hand was chopped off. miserable.
"You guys take the lead and pay the protection gift!"
Zhu Qiyu turned his head and said to Xu Gan: "Let the silver bureau make a batch of silver medals and hang them on all the shops that collect protection gifts. Then notify Shu Liang and ask Shu Liang to come out with a detailed journey, and then take people to collect gifts. "
"The slaves obey the orders!"
Xu Gan dared to act presumptuously to Concubine Liu Jing, the Supreme Emperor, because he had the support of the emperor. In the Qianqing Palace, he was naturally as honest as a kitten.
"Send a few out of the palace."
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Zhang Renxiao: "Drag over here."
Zhang Renxiao took the medicine and his arm hurt unbearably.
"If I copy your house, will your family defect to Wala?" Zhu Qiyu stared at him.
"The grassroots dare not! The grassroots dare not!" Zhang Renxiao begged for mercy.
If you dare not dare in Qianqing Palace, you will defect when you leave Qianqing Palace!
It should have been killed directly, but Wala knocked on the side, Xuanzhen was in a hurry, and there was no extra trouble. In case the Zhang family in Pingyang Mansion defected and opened a passage for Wala in Shanxi, the Northwest would suffer.
"I will give you a chance to redeem yourself!"
Zhu Qiyu asked someone to bring a pen and ink: "Write down what Wang Zhen told you to do, and I will not only let you go, but also support you, how about it?"
Zhang Renxiao was still crying.
"Come on, ransack the house!" Zhu Qiyu didn't have time to talk nonsense.
"The grassroots agree!"
Zhang Renxiao knew very well that the emperor was forcing his Zhang family to rebel against Chen Xun, and the Zhang family gave Chen Xun a sum of money every year to worship under Chen Xun's family.But if you write it down, you will completely tear yourself apart with Chen Xun, and you can only rely on the emperor, but can the emperor be reliable?
The signature painting is postponed.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at him and asked him, "How did you get this arm?"
"Caomin accidentally fell..."
Zhu Qiyu glared at him, could he lose his arm?What a fool!
"Caomin did it himself! It has nothing to do with His Majesty!" Zhang Renxiao screamed.
The more this person cries now, the more he will hate me when he returns home.
Zhu Qiyu doesn't believe in repaying grievances with virtue, and what can't these merchants do?Their consciences were eaten by dogs from birth!
"Go down."
Zhu Qiyu whispered to Xu Gan: "Tell Shu Liang, kill him at the gate of the palace, the bigger the trouble, the better!"
Didn't Chen Xun want to block my way?
I will use Zhang Renxiao to break the game!
Jingyang Palace sent eunuchs to urge them again, and Concubine Li Xian couldn't do it anymore.
After the Wang family was abolished and the Hang family passed away, there were only three women in Zhu Qiyu's harem, Tang Guifei, Li Xi'er and the unfavorable concubine Li Xian.
In the original owner's memory, he didn't even remember the woman's face.
Zhu Qiyu entered Jingyang Palace, and smelled the pungent smell of medicine as soon as he was admitted to the hospital.
Tan Yunxian was busy and didn't see the emperor coming in.
A court lady went to talk about Yunxian, Zhu Qiyu waved her hand: "It is more important to govern the concubine Xian, hurry up, I will go and see the concubine Xian."
Entering the sleeping hall, Zhu Qiyu asked Xu Gan and other eunuchs of Qianqing Palace to accompany him.
Lifting the curtain of the bed, what I saw was a sallow face, haggard and dying.
Dai Han said in a low voice several times that the emperor is coming, and then she had a reaction, forced her eyes open, and tried to see Zhu Qiyu clearly, as if she had an eye disease and couldn't see him clearly.
"His Majesty……"
It was extremely difficult for her to speak, and tears flowed down her cheeks: "It is disrespectful for His Majesty to see such an ugly side of my concubine, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Don't say that." Zhu Qiyu was touched, and he sat on the head of the bed.
Concubine Xian tried her best to raise her wrist to grab his hand.
Zhu Qiyu handed her hand over, and she grabbed it vigorously: "Concubines can no longer serve His Majesty, please Your Majesty accept more concubines, enrich the harem, and extend the number of heirs... Concubines are incompetent, they cannot leave blood for the royal family... Concubines are incompetent... "
As I spoke, tears fell like rain.
Zhu Qiyu was touched, he still remembered that when he first ascended the throne, Concubine Xian was pregnant, but for some reason, the child died later.
After several pregnancies, Concubine Xian couldn't keep it, and she miscarried again and again, causing her body to completely collapse, and she became a medicine jar.
Zhu Qiyu vaguely remembered that when she got married in Prince Ying's mansion, Concubine Xian was also charming, gentle and pleasant. It's only been a few years, and she's gone...
"Don't talk about it, you will take care of it first, and when your body recovers, I will have another child with you." Zhu Qiyu grabbed her hand.
Concubine Xian cried even harder: "Thank you Your Majesty for comforting the concubine, the concubine knows that her body is useless."
With tears in her eyes, she looked at Zhu Qiyu, watched and laughed, and said intermittently: "The concubine still remembers you and me at the big wedding. Your Majesty loves the concubine so much, and the concubine always remembers it."
She struggled to open the other sleeve, and the sleeve was covered with blood words: "I am afraid that I will forget, and I can't dirty my body, and I am afraid that your majesty will not like it...so, it is engraved on the inside of the clothes. Concubine write it all over again, Your Majesty please forgive the crime of disrespect..."
Writing the word "Your Majesty" in blood is suspected of being a curse.
Zhu Qiyu felt her affection.
But the original owner's affection for her was too weak, no matter how he recalled, he couldn't remember what this woman looked like when she was young.
"I don't blame you, I blame me, I didn't come to see you." Zhu Qiyu said softly.
Such a good woman, the original owner didn't cherish it, but spoiled Tu Chang instead, what a fool!
"The concubine has never blamed His Majesty. It is the concubine's poor health. She cannot give His Majesty an heir. It is the concubine's fault! It is the concubine's fate. The concubine's fate is poor, and I have no blessing to serve Your Majesty..." She cried like a cuckoo. Blood, every word wailed.
Zhu Qiyu had tears in his eyes, but he didn't know how to comfort her.
"My concubine, what wish do you have?" Zhu Qiyu looked at her withered face, although ugly, Zhu Qiyu saw the beauty of her heart.
"The concubines only hope that your majesty will accept more concubines, enrich the harem, and extend the heirs!"
The concubine Xian repeated again: "This is the only wish of the concubine. After the concubine leaves, don't enshrine the concubine's family. They are not blessed and can't stand the extravagance. Please don't wantonly reward the concubine because of the concubine."
"Don't be angry with the court because of this, you are more gentle, it is always right; don't criticize the imperial physician because of the concubine's illness, it is the concubine's fate, no wonder others..."
"Please, Your Majesty, please agree to my concubine!"
She looked at Zhu Qiyu with difficulty, and wanted to remember his face completely before she died, wishing to meet you again in the next life and be your wife again...
She suddenly grabbed Zhu Qiyu's hand tightly.
As if to say something, he opened his mouth suddenly and vomited a mouthful of blood!
"Aifei! Aifei!"
Zhu Qiyu couldn't control his tears, and grabbed her hand tightly: "The imperial physician! The imperial physician!"
He lowered his head, wanting to hear what she had to say!
"May I have the next life to be you, your wife..."
Concubine Jing's hand dropped, and she lost her life force.
Zhu Qiyu was shaking all over.
She didn't hate, Zhu Qiyu didn't care about her since she got sick, but she never hated Zhu Qiyu!
Even when he was seriously ill, Zhu Qiyu ignored him, but she still didn't hate him!
She was actually saying that she would like to have another life and still be your wife...
These words pierced Zhu Qiyu's heart like a needle.
Tan Yunxian came over in a hurry, but he was at a loss for recovery, he was already out of breath.
"Where is Jin Zhong!"
"Didn't the imperial physician who treated the concubine Xian say that the concubine is fine?"
"Why did it suddenly disappear?"
"Come on! Go and chop them all!"
"Punish the Nine Clans!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were red, as if he had gone crazy.
All the palace people in Jingyang Palace knelt on the ground.
"The servant obeys the order." Xu Gan said in a low voice.
"Ling Chi!" Zhu Qiyu still couldn't let go of his hatred, he paced back and forth in front of the bed, bursting with anger.
But he glanced at Concubine Xian who had lost her vitality.
He suddenly remembered Concubine Xian's last request before he died, and sat down on the bed: "Come back! Concubine Xian won't let me kill them, I can't kill them! If Concubine Xian walks ahead and they catch up afterward, wouldn't they go to torment my concubine Xian?" The concubine is gone!"
"They were all relegated to Qiongzhou. I spared their lives for the sake of my concubine, but the crime of living is hard to forgive. The whole family will be demoted to servants and will never be pardoned!"
Zhu Qiyu's voice was low.
"Your Majesty, please listen to my daughter's words!"
Tan Yunxian said in a low voice: "Concubine Xian's illness has nothing to do with the imperial physician, but it is, it is..."
"What is it?" Zhu Qiyu was taken aback.
"It's poisoning!" Tan Yunxian gritted her teeth, but she still had something to hide. She wanted to explain in detail, but Zhu Qiyu was like a volcano erupting, so she didn't dare to continue.
"what?"
Zhu Qiyu suddenly looked at everyone in Jingyang Palace: "Dai Han, get out!"
"The servant is here."
Dai Han crawled over, his face full of astonishment: "My lady's food and medicine are all handled by slaves, how could it be poisonous? Emperor, it can't be poisonous! Unless it is poisoned by slaves!"
It's impossible for him, he is an old man in Prince Yi's mansion, he has served Concubine Xian for more than ten years, it is impossible for him to kill Concubine Xian.
Even if he is dead, it is impossible for him to kill Concubine Xian, because Concubine Xian has no place in Zhu Qiyu's heart.
"The courtier's daughter is definitely poisoned." Tan Yunxian said.
"Check! Let me check, who is killing the concubine!"
Zhu Qiyu calmed down and began to think, this is not right, the Concubine Xian has a low sense of presence in the harem, and she is not favored by the emperor, why kill her?
Came here for me?But what can you do if you kill a woman?
"My maidservant, go invite Shu Gonggong!" Xu Gan led the order.
"Jingyang Palace is closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. All the expenses of Xianfei for the past seven days will be presented to me. All people in the palace who are related to Jingyang Palace will be arrested and questioned. No matter who they are, as long as Within seven days, anyone who has been to Jingyang Palace must be investigated!"
Xu Gan showed embarrassment, the son of Dongchang was not a eunuch, and it was really inconvenient to go in and out of the inner palace. If there was any affair, it would be the emperor who would be the one to deal with it.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered, he had to set up an internal supervisor, a spy composed entirely of eunuchs.
Need money!
"Xu Gan, I asked you to be the chief eunuch and admiral. You recruited two hundred strong eunuchs from the imperial city to be responsible for the safety of the imperial city. Is it possible for you to be qualified?"
Xu Gan's eyes lit up, the emperor meant to turn the Duzhi prison into a Jinyiwei in the imperial city, he is familiar with this!
"Thank you, the emperor, for giving this servant a chance!"
In fact, the Duzhijian did not supervise the eunuchs, because the Duzhijian was about to be abolished, and it only followed the emperor to guide the police, which was of no practical use.
"Dai Han is going to be a palm print eunuch!"
Zhu Qiyu's cold light flickered: "The first thing you have to do is to find out the cause of Concubine Xian's death, you understand?"
Who is it that poisoned Concubine Xian!
"Slaves obey the order!" The two eunuchs led the order.
Zhu Qiyu stood up: "Seal the palace!"
He looked back at Concubine Xian, this woman who had no sense of existence in his memory, but loved him so deeply, it made people cry.
"Pursue a virtuous concubine, and bury her as a noble concubine. The clothes she carries, I see things and think about others, so let her be buried with her, as I will always be with her."
Zhu Qiyu sighed, feeling depressed.
Walking out of Jingyang Palace and boarding the imperial chariot, Zhu Qiyu let out a long sigh of relief: "Talking about female doctors, did you have any unspeakable secrets just now?"
Tan Yunxian accompanied him, hesitating whether to say or not.
"Say, I don't blame you, and I don't kill people because of your words." Zhu Qiyu knew what she was worried about.
"Concubine Xian has been taking Wuxiang for a long time to relieve her pain. The person who poisoned her is a person with medical knowledge. He used special medicine to force out the poison of Wuxiang in Concubine Xian's body, which led to Concubine Xian's poisoning and death."
Tan Yunxian thought about his words: "This method is not easy to detect. Even if you ask for an autopsy, you will think that you died from an overdose of Wuxiang, which is considered a normal death."
"The courtier's daughter studied medicine since she was a child. The grandmother told the courtier's daughter a medical case. She died after taking Wuxiang. The symptoms are very similar to those of the concubine Xian."
"And when the minister asked for the pulse of the concubine Xian, she found that her pulse was empty and false, so the minister asserted that it was the poison of Wuxiang that caused the concubine Xian to die."
Wuxiang is Fushou ointment.
Concubine Xian's health was failing, and the imperial doctor prescribed Wuxiang for her, and she was indeed hanged with Wuxiang.
There are many people in the palace who are proficient in medical science, but why poison the concubine Xian?
Zhu Qiyu couldn't understand it.
As soon as he entered Qianqing Palace, he saw Shu Liang coming in a hurry: "My lord, Zhang Jin is dead!"
"How did you die?"
"Back to the emperor, people in the British government said that Zhang Jin was playing in the garden yesterday and fell into the water and died. The servant took a look at his body, the body was swollen with blisters, and his face could not be seen clearly." Shu Liang replied.
"Hmph! Swapping!"
"The British government really doesn't take me seriously as the emperor! It's so obviously rough that I don't even bother to fool me!"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Where's Zhang Fu?"
"Apology outside the palace."
"Let him kneel." Zhu Qiyu walked into Xinuang Pavilion, feeling unhappy.
Recently, I have been led by the nose, and I can't take back the initiative.
"I want you to go to Dongchang to collect the protection gift..."
Zhu Qiyu told Shu Liang his thoughts, and seeing Shu Liang's face was full of confusion: "Go to the commercial firm, recruit a few principals, and let them help you with staff and staff, how to collect taxes. This money is enough for you to rectify the Dongchang and strengthen Dongchang. factory."
"My servant thanked the emperor for his kindness." Shu Liang knelt down.
Zhu Qiyu helped him up: "Look at your eyes are all red, you haven't slept well for a few days? Go and rest, the things in the library will definitely not be recovered, so let's call it a day, kill the guilty, and let the innocent go." It’s over. There’s going to be another big battle soon, keep your spirits up and go.”
"Slave and maid, thank the emperor for his compassion." Shu Liang was in tears. He was just an ordinary handyman in the salary-hungry department. It was the emperor who promoted him all the way to the supervisor of ceremonies. It's as heavy as a mountain, how can I ask him to repay it.
"Let's rest in Xinuang Pavilion, I feel at ease when you are by my side."
Shu Liang knelt down to thank him.
Zhu Qiyu took a sip of water, sat down and continued to read the memorial, he was really overwhelmed by the nonsense memorial.
Xu Gan brought a plate of pastries, which looked poor, but Zhu Qiyu didn't dislike them, they tasted very sweet, with too much icing sugar.
He just frowned and ate it with water.
This is made by his personal eunuch, it is delicious, at least it is absolutely safe.
"My lord, Lu Zhong has been waiting outside for a day, shouldn't you see me?" Xu Gan said cautiously.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at him: "Did he do you a favor?"
"Ah? Absolutely not! Absolutely not, my lord!" Xu Gan prostrated himself on the ground, sweating profusely.
"If you don't, then don't speak for him. I didn't kill him, and I've done extrajudicial favors. There's no harm in letting him stand there for a day, sober."
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "Xu Gan, I know you are clever, and I have seen Li Xi'er's matter..."
Hearing this, Xu trembled like chaff.
That's right, at that time he deliberately took revenge on Li Xi'er, because he had a good friend who was tortured to death by Li Xi'er, so he hated him very much.
Du Qing's plate of cakes was sent over without a poison test. He deliberately gave it to Li Xi'er. He thought he made it without anyone noticing it, how clever it was.
"My lord, forgive me!" Xu Gan burst into tears.
"Hmph, don't play tricks with me. I can see your thoughts clearly. Remember, I am your master. If I allow you, you can do it; if you don't allow it, touch your neck before doing it." Zhu Qiyu's eyes Looking at the memorial, his tone was light.
But Xu Gan was so frightened that he kept trembling and kowtowed for mercy.
"That's all, to save you this time, let Xuan Luzhong come in." Zhu Qiyu moved his fingers to get him up.
"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!" Xu Gan felt the rest of his life after the catastrophe.
Zhu Qiyu didn't make a sound.
But the people who served in Qianqing Palace were all afraid.
Fortunately, the emperor is not a ruthless person, at most he can scold him, and the rewards he should give are never too small, but his desire to control is too strong.
Soon, a burly middle-aged man came in and knelt down to salute.
Zhu Qiyu finished reading a memorial, picked up another one, and glanced at him: "Aren't you pretending to be crazy?"
"I made His Majesty laugh!" Lu Zhong kowtowed.
"Hmph, it's not to make me laugh, but to make me laugh so generously!" When mentioning the golden knife case, Zhu Qiyu became angry.
That was the best chance to kill Zhu Qizhen, it was a good thing to be ruined by Lu Zhong!
Lu Zhong didn't dare to look up.
"Why did you dare to enter the palace to see me?" Zhu Qiyu wrote a few words and put them aside.
"I heard that the rebels took over the door, and your majesty is in danger. I have received your majesty's great favor, and I dare not repay it with death..."
Zhu Qiyu interrupted his nonsense, and said coldly: "Tell the truth!"
Lu Zhong trembled all over, and said awkwardly: "I am Your Majesty's dog, if there is no Your Majesty, I will die even if I pretend to be crazy!"
"You're smart!" Zhu Qiyu sneered and put the memorial aside.
He sat upright: "Lu Zhong, why did you suddenly turn against the water during the Golden Knife case?"
Lu Zhong gritted his teeth and dared not speak.
"Drag out! Stick to death!"
What's the use of keeping an unfaithful dog?
"Minister, I said!"
Lu Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "After the Golden Knife case happened, I was terrified at the time, so I asked a well-known fortune teller in Beijing to give me a divination."
"The officials of that hexagram will never dare to forget. Tianze Lu hexagram, colleagues said, Yi said: 'Walk on the tail of a tiger, and you are fierce'. It is still possible not to hurt people, but it is fierce to hurt people."
Zhu Qiyu wondered, can a fortune teller make Lu Zhong pretend to be crazy?
"I know that Your Majesty doesn't believe it, but at that time my colleague lived in Shi Heng's residence, and my colleague was also brought into the capital by Shi Heng!"
"So what he said was actually what Shi Heng wanted to say to Chen!"
"At that time, His Majesty trusted Shi Heng very much, and I dare not disobey Shi Heng's meaning!"
"So I pretended to be crazy..."
Lu Zhong kowtowed: "But over the past few years, after thinking about it over and over again, I feel that Shi Heng didn't mean what he said, because Shi Heng is a vulgar person, and he keeps fortune-tellers just to make friends with dignitaries in Beijing. How about scaring the minister?"
Zhu Qiyu frowned, the golden knife case happened in the second year of Jingtai.
At that time, Shi Heng was proud of himself, and he probably didn't have the intention of rebellion, so the colleague was not necessarily instigated by Shi Heng.
"Who do you guess?"
"Xu Bin!"
Lu Zhong gritted his teeth: "It's that old thief! I checked my colleague's past and found that his father, Tong Qing, and Xu Bin were good friends, and Xu Bin was also the one who advocated his colleague's physiognomy in Beijing, so I concluded that the one who forced me to pretend to be crazy It's Xu Bin!"
If it's Xu Bin, the possibility is very high.
Because Xu Bin is Zhu Qizhen's lackey, when he welcomed Zhu Qizhen back, he also said that the master had humiliated his subjects to death, so he resolutely went deep into Mobei to welcome Zhu Qizhen back.
"Is there any evidence?" Zhu Qiyu thought further.
Xu Bin belongs to Chen Xun, did Chen Xun also know about the news of the seizure?
"Everything is my guess." Lu Zhong smiled wryly.
"I asked you to form Tiqi, how dare you track down Xu Bin?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered.
"dare!"
Lu Zhong gritted his teeth, even if he pretended to be crazy, he couldn't escape the risk of being killed!Why not give it a go!
"Okay, I allow you to choose Tiqi candidates from the orphans of the war dead in the civil castle, and then you will be the admiral to supervise the Tiqi. First recruit 200 people and train them secretly."
"Thank you, minister!" Lu Zhong kowtowed.
"I will give you 2000 taels of silver to use first, and other expenses such as clothes and armor will come from internal funds. I will give you a note, and you can just go and get it."
Zhu Qiyu said again: "I'll pay you another sum of food, if the money is not enough, I will give food, so let's do it first."
He really couldn't afford any more money, and there wasn't much food, so he held on and set up a shelf.
"The minister leads the order!" Lu Zhong took the order and left.
Zhu Qiyu continued to read the memorabilia, and the more he looked at it, the more he became dizzy, so he read it bravely.
It was getting dark, and it was snowing outside again.
At this time, Xu Gan opened the curtain, and the air-conditioning entered the Xinuang Pavilion, Zhu Qiyu frowned, it might be another cold winter this year.
"My lord, Chen Jing is here." Xu Gan reported.
"Xuan."
Soon, an old eunuch came in, kowtowed and saluted, then bowed his waist and waited aside.
Zhu Qiyu rested his eyes before looking at him: "Give me a seat."
"Slaves dare not accept gifts from the emperor!" Chen Jing stood obediently.
"The palm print of the supervisor of ceremonies and the eunuch are hanging in the air. Is it serious?" Zhu Qiyu leaned back, feeling more comfortable.
Chen Jing thought it over and said: "It's like a group of dogs robbing food. The emperor is the owner of the dogs. If the emperor wants to give more to the dog, it is the emperor's grace. If you give less, you dare not complain. Your lord, the servants are all dogs raised by your lord."
He is getting closer to the emperor and wants to be a palm print eunuch!
It's Linglong's mind.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at him, and said lightly: "The first assistant means that Chen Ding will be the eunuch of palm seal, what do you think?"
However, Chen Jing's face changed, and he knelt on the ground: "My lord, the supervisor of ceremonies is the lord's servant, how can outsiders intervene? Which dog you want to eat the bone should eat the bone! , should be dragged out and beaten to death, eating dog meat!"
"Hehe! This is a fresh remark. It is quite appropriate to describe myself as a dog."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes sank: "Do you dare to kill Chen Ding?"
Chen Jing trembled all over and dared not speak.
"If you kill him, I will allow you to be the palm print eunuch." Zhu Qiyu said lightly.
Chen Jing didn't dare to speak.
It seems that Chen Ding has become the second person after Xing'an.
But Chen Ding is obviously from Zhu Qizhen, when did he have such a deep relationship with civil servants?
No wonder Xing'an asserted that Chen Dinghui would be the next eunuch in charge of seals.
"Really recruit him, just kill him, Chen Jing, dare you?" Zhu Qiyu wants to see, what can Chen Xun do to him if he kills the emperor's servant!
Chen Jing still didn't dare to say anything.
"waste!"
Zhu Qiyu was furious: "Drag it out, chop it up!"
"My lord, spare me!" Chen Jing was about to cry, why does the lord always want to lift the table?You just issue an imperial decree and let the slaves serve as palm seal eunuchs, wouldn't it be fine?
It's so cheap!
Why should I use you if I don't accept the application form?
"Slaves do it! Slaves do it!"
Seeing that he was really going to be dragged down, Chen Jing was so frightened that he kept screaming: "My lord, if you kill Chen Ding, there will be Wang Ding and Zhang Ding coming out. You are treating the symptoms but not the root cause!"
"You are teaching me how to do things?" Doesn't Zhu Qiyu know?
But the chief inspector of ceremonies is clearly his territory, and after killing Xing'an, his people should have been appointed eunuchs, so why should civil servants intervene?
Isn't Chen Xun planning to deal with me?
I will use Chen Ding to break the game!
kill!
"Go, bring Chen Ding here!" Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered, thinking over and over whether he should kill Chen Ding.
The supervisor of ceremonies is an extension of the imperial power and is used to check and balance the cabinet.
If the supervisor of ceremonies is purged, and there is no capable eunuch to step in, the power of the supervisor of ceremonies will be annexed by the cabinet, and the imperial power will be weakened.
But if you don't clean it, is the supervisor of ceremonies mine?
Xinuang Pavilion was very quiet.
Zhu Qiyu hesitated.
"My lord, Tang Dudu and Commander Hang came to the palace to cry!" The door of the room was pushed open, and air-conditioning poured in.
"Tang Xing? Hang Yu?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes darkened: "Xuan come in!"
"Chen Jing, go to the door and stand there, sober, think clearly, whose dog are you!"
If you can't figure it out, kill them!
It's not his people anyway!
It's fun to kill them all!
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold, when Tang Xing and Hang Yu came in and cried.
"Your Majesty, people from the household department went to collect debts at home today, saying that the minister owes the household department 5 taels of silver. How can the minister's family have so much money!"
Tang Xing cried and robbed the ground, that was miserable: "Your Majesty, the household department is simply a robber. He just opened his mouth and asked for 5 taels of silver from the minister, and he didn't pay attention to the minister at all! That Zhang Feng, sarcasm, It’s almost like pointing at Chen’s nose and calling him a dog! If Chen is a dog, then…”
He didn't dare to continue, because calling the imperial concubine a dog would be a crime of genocide!Even if he is the biological father of the imperial concubine!
"Are you trying to say that the imperial concubine is also a dog? I am also a dog?" Zhu Qiyu's voice was cold.
"I don't dare to be disrespectful, it's just that Zhang Feng is too deceitful to ask me for 5 taels of silver..."
"I asked him to ask for it." Zhu Qiyu interrupted him coldly.
Tang Xing, on the other hand, seemed to be strangling his neck, looking at the emperor foolishly.
"Are you also because of money?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Hang Yu.
Hang Yu shivered, he was different from Tang Xing, his daughter Hang Queen was dead, so it was very empty.
"Chen, Chen..." Hang Yu didn't dare to admit it, and didn't want to really spend money.
"Hmph! Drag it out and fight!"
"what?"
Both Tang Xing and Hang Yu were taken aback. They just cried, how could the emperor be sentenced directly?
But the eunuchs of Qianqing Palace didn't care whether they were relatives of the emperor or not. They only obeyed the emperor's order and dragged the two of them down.
"Your Majesty, spare me!" Tang Xing screamed, thinking of the scene where the emperor forced him to have his heart cut, he was so frightened that he lost control of his urine.
"Forgive me? You, Tang Xing, should have spared my life!"
Zhu Qiyu asked someone to drag them back: "Tang Xing, your maid Xiaotao, do you still remember?"
Tang Xing nodded foolishly.
"She tried to poison me! I ask you, is she under your orders?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes widened.
"Ah?" Tang Xing was completely dumbfounded.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Hang Yu and said sharply: "And you, Hang Yu, what is your relationship with Liu Jing? Liu Jing offered Li Xi'er, and Li Xi'er tried to harm me. Are you an accomplice?"
Hang Yu was also frightened.
"You two, still have the face to cry to me? I didn't kill your whole family, it's because of Hang and Tang!"
"I asked you to pay some money to be loyal to Guojing, what's wrong?"
"When you were enjoying the benefits that the country gave you, why didn't you cry like this?"
"You enjoy the reward I gave you, why didn't I see you cry?"
"You want to take advantage of it!"
"When working hard, one runs farther than the other!"
"What do I support you for?"
"Eat idle food?"
"I have a dog, and I know it will wag its tail at me, what will you do?"
"The mud can't support the wall! When things happen, push three and four! Hold me back!"
"He's still hanging out with the rebels!"
"I didn't settle the score with you, but you actually took the initiative to settle the score with me first?"
"Okay!"
"Then settle the old and new accounts together!"
"Preach the decree! Deprive Hang Yu and Tang Xing of all positions! All knighthoods! Take back all rewards! From now on, Tang Xing will be assigned to Liaodong, Hang Yu will be assigned to Yunnan, and he will not be allowed to return to Beijing without an edict! All clans will be assigned!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were full of murderous intent.
"One hundred sticks, and then throw it out of the palace!"
Tang Xing and Hang Yu cried loudly.
Such two people deserve no sympathy at all.
"Come here, tell Xue Huan to enter the palace!" Zhu Qiyu was about to make a move.
Look, he even dealt with his father-in-law, if he dealt with the son-in-law again, it would be enough to make the court speechless.
"Is Chen Ding here?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes were full of killing intent.
"Waiting outside the palace."
"Let them all get out." Zhu Qiyu let out a foul breath, he used Tang Xing and Hang Yu to scare the chickens and monkeys, and the next one would be Sun and Zhang's relatives.
"Xu Gan, when Tang Xing leaves the palace, you take out half of the imperial concubine's dowry and give it to him, and tell him to settle down when he goes to Liaodong. Give the other half to Hang Yu, so don't tell him too much."
Xu Gan was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what the emperor meant.
While Zhu Qiyu was killing chickens and monkeys, he was also protecting Tang Xing and Hang Yu.
These two idiots can't survive in the maelstrom of the capital, and if they are sent out, at least one life can be saved.
In the future, if he is in power, he can order them back; if he really dies, it will be considered a complete cut this time, and they will not be liquidated when the new king ascends the throne.
Zhu Qiyu is really well-intentioned.
"My lord, Tang Dudu and Commander Hang will understand your good intentions." Xu Gan understood.
"Hmph, if they don't hate me, they'll be content."
Zhu Qiyu sighed, he wanted to be an only husband, and he also had to consider the feelings of his family.
Tang Xing and Hang Yu don't expect them to understand, I hope the imperial concubine can understand.
"Bring Chen Ding and Chen Jing in, and then go announce Chen Xiang." Zhu Qiyu regained his fierce expression.
"My servant greets the emperor." Chen Ding knelt on the ground with a disturbed expression.
Snapped!
A knife was dropped on the ground.
Chen Ding was startled.
Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to talk nonsense: "Chen Jing, do it."
Chen Jing is also stupid, really killed?
Is the emperor crazy? The power of the ceremonial supervisor is balanced, but the emperor suddenly flipped the table and used Chen Jing to kill Chen Ding for no reason.
"My lord, please forgive me! What happened to my servant, my lord wants to kill this servant!" Chen Ding was bewildered.
Zhu Qiyu stared at him: "Why did you kill you, don't you know?"
"I don't know." Chen Ding kowtowed.
"Stop pretending, you and I both know whose dog you are, so there's no need to say it out. That's why I want to kill you."
If Zhu Qiyu wanted to cheat Chen Ding, he would have ghosts in his heart, he would definitely be afraid, maybe there would be unexpected surprises.
Chen Ding swallowed his saliva.
"Kill!" Zhu Qiyu looked at Chen Jing.
However, Chen Jing knew that if he really killed Chen Ding, he would definitely not become the eunuch in charge of the chief of ceremonies, but would make Ruan Jian and Chen Xiang cheaper.
But he didn't know, because he hesitated, Zhu Qiyu drew a red cross in his heart.
"My lord, spare me!"
Chen Ding gritted his teeth, and said tremblingly: "This servant, in order to be the eunuch in charge of the superior, took refuge, took refuge in Xiao Weizhen, the censor of the right capital!"
His face was full of despair.
He took refuge in Xiao Weizhen, which was tantamount to taking refuge in the civil official group, but in the end he sold him in a blink of an eye, which was tantamount to cutting himself off from the world.
Xiao Weizhen belongs to Chen Xun.
No wonder Xing'an said that after him, Chen Ding served as the eunuch in charge of ceremonies. It turns out that Chen Ding took refuge in Xiao Weizhen.
But this is not the answer Zhu Qiyu wanted.
"Go on, who do you still belong to?"
"It's the emperor's person..."
Bang!
Xu Gan gave a heartfelt kick: "Thank you for being able to say it, are you from the emperor? Who are you working for, don't you know? Say it! If you don't say it, our family will kill you, and Chen Jing will also be killed." !"
Chen Jing trembled all over.
Chen Ding's face was full of despair, it must be Xing'an who confessed to him.
"Xu Youzhen has contacted the slave girl!" Chen Ding closed his eyes, he has only one way to go now, to be the emperor.
"It's euphemistic enough, but you are actually the emperor's man?" Zhu Qiyu sneered.
Chen Ding bang bang bang: "This servant has absolutely nothing to do with the Supreme Emperor, but Xu Youzhen contacted this servant and promised some benefits to this servant, but this servant refused! This servant dare not be disloyal to His Majesty, absolutely not! Please! The Lord trusts the slaves! Please, the emperor trusts the slaves!"
"You are my man, and you have taken refuge in Xiao Weizhen, and you are still ambiguous with the Supreme Emperor. Such a family slave with three surnames! Are you worthy of loyalty? Chen Jing, do it! Kill him!"
Zhu Qiyu was furious!
The book is full of real historical figures, so the names are very similar, and it is not easy to distinguish them, sorry.
Because they are all big chapters, the author tries to write as many as a few hundred words in each chapter, and show it to everyone for free. Thank you for subscribing and rewarding support fathers!
(End of this chapter)
"Jin Zhong, you and Feng Xiao will go in person and recruit a group of eunuchs and maids according to the number of eunuchs and maids in Qianqing Palace to serve in front of the imperial court."
"Except for the two of you, all the eunuchs and maids of the Qianqing Palace will be formed into a group of two. An old man from the Qianqing Palace will lead a newcomer, and they will be paired randomly. Each group supervises each other and is subordinate to each other. They must be together for twelve hours. , even when it is convenient, you are not allowed to leave each other's sight!"
"One made a mistake, the other didn't report it, and the two were beheaded together! Even the family members!"
"Report the verdict, and reward!"
"You send out your confidants to spread among the palace people, observe secretly, and find out all those who have ulterior motives!"
"I want to make this palace clean, no oil can get in, no needles can get in!"
"Can it be done?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Jin Zhong.
"I can do it even if I risk my life!" Jin Zhong knelt down and kowtowed.
"Go ahead and recruit more young palace servants. It's okay to be stupid, loyalty is the most important thing. You pick people with wide eyes. Remember, try to pick those palace servants who are low in status, angry, and tortured in various prisons. "
"Understood? Don't bluff to recruit people, observe first, watch quietly, don't listen to other people's opinions, trust your own eyes! Your eyes are my eyes! I entrust my safety to you, you Keep your eyes open!"
Zhu Qiyu repeatedly told him that it was not that he had never cleaned up the Qianqing Palace, but he was still a sieve.If all these palace people are released, the people who come in cannot guarantee that they are not spies, so it is useless to replace them.
It is necessary to use the method of supervision and continuous sitting to create terror in order to hold the Qianqing Palace in your hands.
But we must also beware of spies jumping over the wall in a hurry, so it is best to confine his activities to the Xinuan Pavilion, and keep less contact with the palace people. After the Qianqing Palace is cleaned up, it will be safe.
"The servant is in command! If there is another mistake in the Qianqing Palace, please ask the emperor to pick out the eyeballs of the servant!" Jin Zhong became ruthless.
"You don't need to say such cruel words. You follow me through life and death, and I trust you." Zhu Qiyu helped him up.
Watch Jin Zhong and Feng Xiao go to pick someone.
"My lord, Concubine Xian's body can't support her anymore!" Dai Han, the eunuch in Concubine Xian's palace, cried out.
"I'll go right away."
Dai Han was still crying, kowtowing desperately: "My lady wants to see you..."
"You go out first, I'll go when I'm done!"
Zhu Qiyu asked Dai Han to be taken out, and looked at Zhang Renxiao.
Zhang Renxiao's mouth was gagged, worried that he would disturb the emperor by crying.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Zhang Renxiao was so stared at by the emperor, he cried and begged for mercy as soon as he could speak, ignoring the pain in his hand.
"I said, I won't kill you, as long as you haven't committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, I won't kill you!"
Zhang Renxiao cried, his family is very rich in Pingyang, how could it be possible that the family only has 500 taels of silver?You are really deceiving the king, you are on the verge of death!
"Is Ai Chonggao still alive? Come on, heal his wounds, don't be too violent in the future, chop off people's hands every now and then, it's too cruel, throw these fingers out to feed the dogs."
Zhu Qiyu looked at other merchants.
Everyone was terrified, thinking that the emperor was going to kill the chicken to get the eggs.
As long as you can save your life, it's fine. At worst, it's better to go to Wala than to suffer in Daming.
"I will give you another chance to donate!" Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered.
coming!
Some merchants knelt on the ground and kowtowed like garlic: "Caomin is willing to donate all his family wealth! Just save the life of the grassroots, that's all!"
"Grassmen too!"
Everyone wailed, Zhang Renxiao was too miserable, he lost one hand, and his house was ransacked, too miserable.
"Ha, I'm not a robber, how can I take your property for nothing?"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Who do you think I am?"
"Your Majesty didn't ask for it, we donated it voluntarily!" These businessmen burst into tears.
Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly: "You are all sent by Wang Zhen to buy my Huangzhuang at a low price! Obviously you came to take advantage of me, but why did you become like I bullied you?"
They just cry.
"Forget it, I am not a violent king, and I will not pursue the crime of deceiving the king like you!"
Seeing that they were all terrified, Zhu Qiyu stopped scaring them and asked, "How many shops do you have in Beijing?"
"Tell the truth!" Zhu Qiyu shouted coldly.
"Twelve families!" Someone reported it first, and others followed suit, not daring to hide it.
"What's the scale? What's the profit? Hurry up, I'll take your whole family to the test if I delay Concubine Xian's illness!" Zhu Qiyu asked.
It's over, the emperor is about to decide!
The family property will definitely not be able to be kept, as long as you can keep your arms and legs, you will be satisfied.
They spoke out in fits and starts.
After hearing this, Zhu Qiyu knew it well, and said slowly: "According to the size of the shop, the smallest shop will pay 1000 taels of silver, and it will be paid every year, which is counted as a business tax!"
"Ah?" The businessman was stunned for a moment, and said weakly, "We have paid all the business taxes."
You really want money but not life!
Zhu Qiyu rolled his eyes: "It's called a protection gift, and the people in Dongchang will collect it!"
The protection tax is aimed at all merchants, and the collection rules need to be formulated in detail, first implemented in the capital, and finally collected nationwide.
Those merchants lowered their heads and dared not respond, and the emperor was nothing more than forced expropriation.
"Get up and sit down."
Zhu Qiyu asked people to go to Jindun and ordered them to sit down.
But who would dare to sit down, Zhang Renxiao sat down loudly, and then his hands were gone, and his home was gone...
These merchants are still on their knees.
Zhu Qiyu didn't make things difficult for them, and said slowly: "I also know that doing business is not easy, and I don't discriminate against businessmen."
"East Factory is not a yamen for stealing money."
"When you are doing business in Beijing and China, do you need to use contacts and find backers? Does someone usually go to the store to make trouble? Beijing and China patrols eat and drink for free in your store. Do you dare to speak out?"
"But if you hand in the protection gift, Dongchang will be the backstage for you! I will be the backstage for you!"
"Who is the biggest in this world? I am the biggest!"
"Do you still need to have a relationship? Are you still worried about being bullied?"
"As long as you operate legally, I will support you!"
"So, this money is not paid for nothing! Do you understand?"
Zhu Qiyu had a whim, and the details still needed to be filled in. The merchant protection tax was levied, and the money came in a steady stream, unlike a one-off sale of a house.
It happened to be an opportunity for the expansion of the East Factory. By the way, spies were placed among the merchants to expand the influence in Beijing. The sphere of influence covered the entire capital, and the emperor's eyes saw the whole city.
Moreover, the money from the protection tax is enough to support Dongchang, and there will be surplus in the future.
"How do you feel about protecting Fu?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Good! Very good!"
Who dares to say it's not good, Your Majesty, the example of Zhang Renxiao is right there. Look at the doctor who was limping in the aisle, with gloomy eyes, giving Zhang Renxiao medicine, and screaming louder than Zhang Renxiao when his hand was chopped off. miserable.
"You guys take the lead and pay the protection gift!"
Zhu Qiyu turned his head and said to Xu Gan: "Let the silver bureau make a batch of silver medals and hang them on all the shops that collect protection gifts. Then notify Shu Liang and ask Shu Liang to come out with a detailed journey, and then take people to collect gifts. "
"The slaves obey the orders!"
Xu Gan dared to act presumptuously to Concubine Liu Jing, the Supreme Emperor, because he had the support of the emperor. In the Qianqing Palace, he was naturally as honest as a kitten.
"Send a few out of the palace."
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Zhang Renxiao: "Drag over here."
Zhang Renxiao took the medicine and his arm hurt unbearably.
"If I copy your house, will your family defect to Wala?" Zhu Qiyu stared at him.
"The grassroots dare not! The grassroots dare not!" Zhang Renxiao begged for mercy.
If you dare not dare in Qianqing Palace, you will defect when you leave Qianqing Palace!
It should have been killed directly, but Wala knocked on the side, Xuanzhen was in a hurry, and there was no extra trouble. In case the Zhang family in Pingyang Mansion defected and opened a passage for Wala in Shanxi, the Northwest would suffer.
"I will give you a chance to redeem yourself!"
Zhu Qiyu asked someone to bring a pen and ink: "Write down what Wang Zhen told you to do, and I will not only let you go, but also support you, how about it?"
Zhang Renxiao was still crying.
"Come on, ransack the house!" Zhu Qiyu didn't have time to talk nonsense.
"The grassroots agree!"
Zhang Renxiao knew very well that the emperor was forcing his Zhang family to rebel against Chen Xun, and the Zhang family gave Chen Xun a sum of money every year to worship under Chen Xun's family.But if you write it down, you will completely tear yourself apart with Chen Xun, and you can only rely on the emperor, but can the emperor be reliable?
The signature painting is postponed.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at him and asked him, "How did you get this arm?"
"Caomin accidentally fell..."
Zhu Qiyu glared at him, could he lose his arm?What a fool!
"Caomin did it himself! It has nothing to do with His Majesty!" Zhang Renxiao screamed.
The more this person cries now, the more he will hate me when he returns home.
Zhu Qiyu doesn't believe in repaying grievances with virtue, and what can't these merchants do?Their consciences were eaten by dogs from birth!
"Go down."
Zhu Qiyu whispered to Xu Gan: "Tell Shu Liang, kill him at the gate of the palace, the bigger the trouble, the better!"
Didn't Chen Xun want to block my way?
I will use Zhang Renxiao to break the game!
Jingyang Palace sent eunuchs to urge them again, and Concubine Li Xian couldn't do it anymore.
After the Wang family was abolished and the Hang family passed away, there were only three women in Zhu Qiyu's harem, Tang Guifei, Li Xi'er and the unfavorable concubine Li Xian.
In the original owner's memory, he didn't even remember the woman's face.
Zhu Qiyu entered Jingyang Palace, and smelled the pungent smell of medicine as soon as he was admitted to the hospital.
Tan Yunxian was busy and didn't see the emperor coming in.
A court lady went to talk about Yunxian, Zhu Qiyu waved her hand: "It is more important to govern the concubine Xian, hurry up, I will go and see the concubine Xian."
Entering the sleeping hall, Zhu Qiyu asked Xu Gan and other eunuchs of Qianqing Palace to accompany him.
Lifting the curtain of the bed, what I saw was a sallow face, haggard and dying.
Dai Han said in a low voice several times that the emperor is coming, and then she had a reaction, forced her eyes open, and tried to see Zhu Qiyu clearly, as if she had an eye disease and couldn't see him clearly.
"His Majesty……"
It was extremely difficult for her to speak, and tears flowed down her cheeks: "It is disrespectful for His Majesty to see such an ugly side of my concubine, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Don't say that." Zhu Qiyu was touched, and he sat on the head of the bed.
Concubine Xian tried her best to raise her wrist to grab his hand.
Zhu Qiyu handed her hand over, and she grabbed it vigorously: "Concubines can no longer serve His Majesty, please Your Majesty accept more concubines, enrich the harem, and extend the number of heirs... Concubines are incompetent, they cannot leave blood for the royal family... Concubines are incompetent... "
As I spoke, tears fell like rain.
Zhu Qiyu was touched, he still remembered that when he first ascended the throne, Concubine Xian was pregnant, but for some reason, the child died later.
After several pregnancies, Concubine Xian couldn't keep it, and she miscarried again and again, causing her body to completely collapse, and she became a medicine jar.
Zhu Qiyu vaguely remembered that when she got married in Prince Ying's mansion, Concubine Xian was also charming, gentle and pleasant. It's only been a few years, and she's gone...
"Don't talk about it, you will take care of it first, and when your body recovers, I will have another child with you." Zhu Qiyu grabbed her hand.
Concubine Xian cried even harder: "Thank you Your Majesty for comforting the concubine, the concubine knows that her body is useless."
With tears in her eyes, she looked at Zhu Qiyu, watched and laughed, and said intermittently: "The concubine still remembers you and me at the big wedding. Your Majesty loves the concubine so much, and the concubine always remembers it."
She struggled to open the other sleeve, and the sleeve was covered with blood words: "I am afraid that I will forget, and I can't dirty my body, and I am afraid that your majesty will not like it...so, it is engraved on the inside of the clothes. Concubine write it all over again, Your Majesty please forgive the crime of disrespect..."
Writing the word "Your Majesty" in blood is suspected of being a curse.
Zhu Qiyu felt her affection.
But the original owner's affection for her was too weak, no matter how he recalled, he couldn't remember what this woman looked like when she was young.
"I don't blame you, I blame me, I didn't come to see you." Zhu Qiyu said softly.
Such a good woman, the original owner didn't cherish it, but spoiled Tu Chang instead, what a fool!
"The concubine has never blamed His Majesty. It is the concubine's poor health. She cannot give His Majesty an heir. It is the concubine's fault! It is the concubine's fate. The concubine's fate is poor, and I have no blessing to serve Your Majesty..." She cried like a cuckoo. Blood, every word wailed.
Zhu Qiyu had tears in his eyes, but he didn't know how to comfort her.
"My concubine, what wish do you have?" Zhu Qiyu looked at her withered face, although ugly, Zhu Qiyu saw the beauty of her heart.
"The concubines only hope that your majesty will accept more concubines, enrich the harem, and extend the heirs!"
The concubine Xian repeated again: "This is the only wish of the concubine. After the concubine leaves, don't enshrine the concubine's family. They are not blessed and can't stand the extravagance. Please don't wantonly reward the concubine because of the concubine."
"Don't be angry with the court because of this, you are more gentle, it is always right; don't criticize the imperial physician because of the concubine's illness, it is the concubine's fate, no wonder others..."
"Please, Your Majesty, please agree to my concubine!"
She looked at Zhu Qiyu with difficulty, and wanted to remember his face completely before she died, wishing to meet you again in the next life and be your wife again...
She suddenly grabbed Zhu Qiyu's hand tightly.
As if to say something, he opened his mouth suddenly and vomited a mouthful of blood!
"Aifei! Aifei!"
Zhu Qiyu couldn't control his tears, and grabbed her hand tightly: "The imperial physician! The imperial physician!"
He lowered his head, wanting to hear what she had to say!
"May I have the next life to be you, your wife..."
Concubine Jing's hand dropped, and she lost her life force.
Zhu Qiyu was shaking all over.
She didn't hate, Zhu Qiyu didn't care about her since she got sick, but she never hated Zhu Qiyu!
Even when he was seriously ill, Zhu Qiyu ignored him, but she still didn't hate him!
She was actually saying that she would like to have another life and still be your wife...
These words pierced Zhu Qiyu's heart like a needle.
Tan Yunxian came over in a hurry, but he was at a loss for recovery, he was already out of breath.
"Where is Jin Zhong!"
"Didn't the imperial physician who treated the concubine Xian say that the concubine is fine?"
"Why did it suddenly disappear?"
"Come on! Go and chop them all!"
"Punish the Nine Clans!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were red, as if he had gone crazy.
All the palace people in Jingyang Palace knelt on the ground.
"The servant obeys the order." Xu Gan said in a low voice.
"Ling Chi!" Zhu Qiyu still couldn't let go of his hatred, he paced back and forth in front of the bed, bursting with anger.
But he glanced at Concubine Xian who had lost her vitality.
He suddenly remembered Concubine Xian's last request before he died, and sat down on the bed: "Come back! Concubine Xian won't let me kill them, I can't kill them! If Concubine Xian walks ahead and they catch up afterward, wouldn't they go to torment my concubine Xian?" The concubine is gone!"
"They were all relegated to Qiongzhou. I spared their lives for the sake of my concubine, but the crime of living is hard to forgive. The whole family will be demoted to servants and will never be pardoned!"
Zhu Qiyu's voice was low.
"Your Majesty, please listen to my daughter's words!"
Tan Yunxian said in a low voice: "Concubine Xian's illness has nothing to do with the imperial physician, but it is, it is..."
"What is it?" Zhu Qiyu was taken aback.
"It's poisoning!" Tan Yunxian gritted her teeth, but she still had something to hide. She wanted to explain in detail, but Zhu Qiyu was like a volcano erupting, so she didn't dare to continue.
"what?"
Zhu Qiyu suddenly looked at everyone in Jingyang Palace: "Dai Han, get out!"
"The servant is here."
Dai Han crawled over, his face full of astonishment: "My lady's food and medicine are all handled by slaves, how could it be poisonous? Emperor, it can't be poisonous! Unless it is poisoned by slaves!"
It's impossible for him, he is an old man in Prince Yi's mansion, he has served Concubine Xian for more than ten years, it is impossible for him to kill Concubine Xian.
Even if he is dead, it is impossible for him to kill Concubine Xian, because Concubine Xian has no place in Zhu Qiyu's heart.
"The courtier's daughter is definitely poisoned." Tan Yunxian said.
"Check! Let me check, who is killing the concubine!"
Zhu Qiyu calmed down and began to think, this is not right, the Concubine Xian has a low sense of presence in the harem, and she is not favored by the emperor, why kill her?
Came here for me?But what can you do if you kill a woman?
"My maidservant, go invite Shu Gonggong!" Xu Gan led the order.
"Jingyang Palace is closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. All the expenses of Xianfei for the past seven days will be presented to me. All people in the palace who are related to Jingyang Palace will be arrested and questioned. No matter who they are, as long as Within seven days, anyone who has been to Jingyang Palace must be investigated!"
Xu Gan showed embarrassment, the son of Dongchang was not a eunuch, and it was really inconvenient to go in and out of the inner palace. If there was any affair, it would be the emperor who would be the one to deal with it.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered, he had to set up an internal supervisor, a spy composed entirely of eunuchs.
Need money!
"Xu Gan, I asked you to be the chief eunuch and admiral. You recruited two hundred strong eunuchs from the imperial city to be responsible for the safety of the imperial city. Is it possible for you to be qualified?"
Xu Gan's eyes lit up, the emperor meant to turn the Duzhi prison into a Jinyiwei in the imperial city, he is familiar with this!
"Thank you, the emperor, for giving this servant a chance!"
In fact, the Duzhijian did not supervise the eunuchs, because the Duzhijian was about to be abolished, and it only followed the emperor to guide the police, which was of no practical use.
"Dai Han is going to be a palm print eunuch!"
Zhu Qiyu's cold light flickered: "The first thing you have to do is to find out the cause of Concubine Xian's death, you understand?"
Who is it that poisoned Concubine Xian!
"Slaves obey the order!" The two eunuchs led the order.
Zhu Qiyu stood up: "Seal the palace!"
He looked back at Concubine Xian, this woman who had no sense of existence in his memory, but loved him so deeply, it made people cry.
"Pursue a virtuous concubine, and bury her as a noble concubine. The clothes she carries, I see things and think about others, so let her be buried with her, as I will always be with her."
Zhu Qiyu sighed, feeling depressed.
Walking out of Jingyang Palace and boarding the imperial chariot, Zhu Qiyu let out a long sigh of relief: "Talking about female doctors, did you have any unspeakable secrets just now?"
Tan Yunxian accompanied him, hesitating whether to say or not.
"Say, I don't blame you, and I don't kill people because of your words." Zhu Qiyu knew what she was worried about.
"Concubine Xian has been taking Wuxiang for a long time to relieve her pain. The person who poisoned her is a person with medical knowledge. He used special medicine to force out the poison of Wuxiang in Concubine Xian's body, which led to Concubine Xian's poisoning and death."
Tan Yunxian thought about his words: "This method is not easy to detect. Even if you ask for an autopsy, you will think that you died from an overdose of Wuxiang, which is considered a normal death."
"The courtier's daughter studied medicine since she was a child. The grandmother told the courtier's daughter a medical case. She died after taking Wuxiang. The symptoms are very similar to those of the concubine Xian."
"And when the minister asked for the pulse of the concubine Xian, she found that her pulse was empty and false, so the minister asserted that it was the poison of Wuxiang that caused the concubine Xian to die."
Wuxiang is Fushou ointment.
Concubine Xian's health was failing, and the imperial doctor prescribed Wuxiang for her, and she was indeed hanged with Wuxiang.
There are many people in the palace who are proficient in medical science, but why poison the concubine Xian?
Zhu Qiyu couldn't understand it.
As soon as he entered Qianqing Palace, he saw Shu Liang coming in a hurry: "My lord, Zhang Jin is dead!"
"How did you die?"
"Back to the emperor, people in the British government said that Zhang Jin was playing in the garden yesterday and fell into the water and died. The servant took a look at his body, the body was swollen with blisters, and his face could not be seen clearly." Shu Liang replied.
"Hmph! Swapping!"
"The British government really doesn't take me seriously as the emperor! It's so obviously rough that I don't even bother to fool me!"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Where's Zhang Fu?"
"Apology outside the palace."
"Let him kneel." Zhu Qiyu walked into Xinuang Pavilion, feeling unhappy.
Recently, I have been led by the nose, and I can't take back the initiative.
"I want you to go to Dongchang to collect the protection gift..."
Zhu Qiyu told Shu Liang his thoughts, and seeing Shu Liang's face was full of confusion: "Go to the commercial firm, recruit a few principals, and let them help you with staff and staff, how to collect taxes. This money is enough for you to rectify the Dongchang and strengthen Dongchang. factory."
"My servant thanked the emperor for his kindness." Shu Liang knelt down.
Zhu Qiyu helped him up: "Look at your eyes are all red, you haven't slept well for a few days? Go and rest, the things in the library will definitely not be recovered, so let's call it a day, kill the guilty, and let the innocent go." It’s over. There’s going to be another big battle soon, keep your spirits up and go.”
"Slave and maid, thank the emperor for his compassion." Shu Liang was in tears. He was just an ordinary handyman in the salary-hungry department. It was the emperor who promoted him all the way to the supervisor of ceremonies. It's as heavy as a mountain, how can I ask him to repay it.
"Let's rest in Xinuang Pavilion, I feel at ease when you are by my side."
Shu Liang knelt down to thank him.
Zhu Qiyu took a sip of water, sat down and continued to read the memorial, he was really overwhelmed by the nonsense memorial.
Xu Gan brought a plate of pastries, which looked poor, but Zhu Qiyu didn't dislike them, they tasted very sweet, with too much icing sugar.
He just frowned and ate it with water.
This is made by his personal eunuch, it is delicious, at least it is absolutely safe.
"My lord, Lu Zhong has been waiting outside for a day, shouldn't you see me?" Xu Gan said cautiously.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at him: "Did he do you a favor?"
"Ah? Absolutely not! Absolutely not, my lord!" Xu Gan prostrated himself on the ground, sweating profusely.
"If you don't, then don't speak for him. I didn't kill him, and I've done extrajudicial favors. There's no harm in letting him stand there for a day, sober."
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "Xu Gan, I know you are clever, and I have seen Li Xi'er's matter..."
Hearing this, Xu trembled like chaff.
That's right, at that time he deliberately took revenge on Li Xi'er, because he had a good friend who was tortured to death by Li Xi'er, so he hated him very much.
Du Qing's plate of cakes was sent over without a poison test. He deliberately gave it to Li Xi'er. He thought he made it without anyone noticing it, how clever it was.
"My lord, forgive me!" Xu Gan burst into tears.
"Hmph, don't play tricks with me. I can see your thoughts clearly. Remember, I am your master. If I allow you, you can do it; if you don't allow it, touch your neck before doing it." Zhu Qiyu's eyes Looking at the memorial, his tone was light.
But Xu Gan was so frightened that he kept trembling and kowtowed for mercy.
"That's all, to save you this time, let Xuan Luzhong come in." Zhu Qiyu moved his fingers to get him up.
"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!" Xu Gan felt the rest of his life after the catastrophe.
Zhu Qiyu didn't make a sound.
But the people who served in Qianqing Palace were all afraid.
Fortunately, the emperor is not a ruthless person, at most he can scold him, and the rewards he should give are never too small, but his desire to control is too strong.
Soon, a burly middle-aged man came in and knelt down to salute.
Zhu Qiyu finished reading a memorial, picked up another one, and glanced at him: "Aren't you pretending to be crazy?"
"I made His Majesty laugh!" Lu Zhong kowtowed.
"Hmph, it's not to make me laugh, but to make me laugh so generously!" When mentioning the golden knife case, Zhu Qiyu became angry.
That was the best chance to kill Zhu Qizhen, it was a good thing to be ruined by Lu Zhong!
Lu Zhong didn't dare to look up.
"Why did you dare to enter the palace to see me?" Zhu Qiyu wrote a few words and put them aside.
"I heard that the rebels took over the door, and your majesty is in danger. I have received your majesty's great favor, and I dare not repay it with death..."
Zhu Qiyu interrupted his nonsense, and said coldly: "Tell the truth!"
Lu Zhong trembled all over, and said awkwardly: "I am Your Majesty's dog, if there is no Your Majesty, I will die even if I pretend to be crazy!"
"You're smart!" Zhu Qiyu sneered and put the memorial aside.
He sat upright: "Lu Zhong, why did you suddenly turn against the water during the Golden Knife case?"
Lu Zhong gritted his teeth and dared not speak.
"Drag out! Stick to death!"
What's the use of keeping an unfaithful dog?
"Minister, I said!"
Lu Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "After the Golden Knife case happened, I was terrified at the time, so I asked a well-known fortune teller in Beijing to give me a divination."
"The officials of that hexagram will never dare to forget. Tianze Lu hexagram, colleagues said, Yi said: 'Walk on the tail of a tiger, and you are fierce'. It is still possible not to hurt people, but it is fierce to hurt people."
Zhu Qiyu wondered, can a fortune teller make Lu Zhong pretend to be crazy?
"I know that Your Majesty doesn't believe it, but at that time my colleague lived in Shi Heng's residence, and my colleague was also brought into the capital by Shi Heng!"
"So what he said was actually what Shi Heng wanted to say to Chen!"
"At that time, His Majesty trusted Shi Heng very much, and I dare not disobey Shi Heng's meaning!"
"So I pretended to be crazy..."
Lu Zhong kowtowed: "But over the past few years, after thinking about it over and over again, I feel that Shi Heng didn't mean what he said, because Shi Heng is a vulgar person, and he keeps fortune-tellers just to make friends with dignitaries in Beijing. How about scaring the minister?"
Zhu Qiyu frowned, the golden knife case happened in the second year of Jingtai.
At that time, Shi Heng was proud of himself, and he probably didn't have the intention of rebellion, so the colleague was not necessarily instigated by Shi Heng.
"Who do you guess?"
"Xu Bin!"
Lu Zhong gritted his teeth: "It's that old thief! I checked my colleague's past and found that his father, Tong Qing, and Xu Bin were good friends, and Xu Bin was also the one who advocated his colleague's physiognomy in Beijing, so I concluded that the one who forced me to pretend to be crazy It's Xu Bin!"
If it's Xu Bin, the possibility is very high.
Because Xu Bin is Zhu Qizhen's lackey, when he welcomed Zhu Qizhen back, he also said that the master had humiliated his subjects to death, so he resolutely went deep into Mobei to welcome Zhu Qizhen back.
"Is there any evidence?" Zhu Qiyu thought further.
Xu Bin belongs to Chen Xun, did Chen Xun also know about the news of the seizure?
"Everything is my guess." Lu Zhong smiled wryly.
"I asked you to form Tiqi, how dare you track down Xu Bin?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered.
"dare!"
Lu Zhong gritted his teeth, even if he pretended to be crazy, he couldn't escape the risk of being killed!Why not give it a go!
"Okay, I allow you to choose Tiqi candidates from the orphans of the war dead in the civil castle, and then you will be the admiral to supervise the Tiqi. First recruit 200 people and train them secretly."
"Thank you, minister!" Lu Zhong kowtowed.
"I will give you 2000 taels of silver to use first, and other expenses such as clothes and armor will come from internal funds. I will give you a note, and you can just go and get it."
Zhu Qiyu said again: "I'll pay you another sum of food, if the money is not enough, I will give food, so let's do it first."
He really couldn't afford any more money, and there wasn't much food, so he held on and set up a shelf.
"The minister leads the order!" Lu Zhong took the order and left.
Zhu Qiyu continued to read the memorabilia, and the more he looked at it, the more he became dizzy, so he read it bravely.
It was getting dark, and it was snowing outside again.
At this time, Xu Gan opened the curtain, and the air-conditioning entered the Xinuang Pavilion, Zhu Qiyu frowned, it might be another cold winter this year.
"My lord, Chen Jing is here." Xu Gan reported.
"Xuan."
Soon, an old eunuch came in, kowtowed and saluted, then bowed his waist and waited aside.
Zhu Qiyu rested his eyes before looking at him: "Give me a seat."
"Slaves dare not accept gifts from the emperor!" Chen Jing stood obediently.
"The palm print of the supervisor of ceremonies and the eunuch are hanging in the air. Is it serious?" Zhu Qiyu leaned back, feeling more comfortable.
Chen Jing thought it over and said: "It's like a group of dogs robbing food. The emperor is the owner of the dogs. If the emperor wants to give more to the dog, it is the emperor's grace. If you give less, you dare not complain. Your lord, the servants are all dogs raised by your lord."
He is getting closer to the emperor and wants to be a palm print eunuch!
It's Linglong's mind.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at him, and said lightly: "The first assistant means that Chen Ding will be the eunuch of palm seal, what do you think?"
However, Chen Jing's face changed, and he knelt on the ground: "My lord, the supervisor of ceremonies is the lord's servant, how can outsiders intervene? Which dog you want to eat the bone should eat the bone! , should be dragged out and beaten to death, eating dog meat!"
"Hehe! This is a fresh remark. It is quite appropriate to describe myself as a dog."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes sank: "Do you dare to kill Chen Ding?"
Chen Jing trembled all over and dared not speak.
"If you kill him, I will allow you to be the palm print eunuch." Zhu Qiyu said lightly.
Chen Jing didn't dare to speak.
It seems that Chen Ding has become the second person after Xing'an.
But Chen Ding is obviously from Zhu Qizhen, when did he have such a deep relationship with civil servants?
No wonder Xing'an asserted that Chen Dinghui would be the next eunuch in charge of seals.
"Really recruit him, just kill him, Chen Jing, dare you?" Zhu Qiyu wants to see, what can Chen Xun do to him if he kills the emperor's servant!
Chen Jing still didn't dare to say anything.
"waste!"
Zhu Qiyu was furious: "Drag it out, chop it up!"
"My lord, spare me!" Chen Jing was about to cry, why does the lord always want to lift the table?You just issue an imperial decree and let the slaves serve as palm seal eunuchs, wouldn't it be fine?
It's so cheap!
Why should I use you if I don't accept the application form?
"Slaves do it! Slaves do it!"
Seeing that he was really going to be dragged down, Chen Jing was so frightened that he kept screaming: "My lord, if you kill Chen Ding, there will be Wang Ding and Zhang Ding coming out. You are treating the symptoms but not the root cause!"
"You are teaching me how to do things?" Doesn't Zhu Qiyu know?
But the chief inspector of ceremonies is clearly his territory, and after killing Xing'an, his people should have been appointed eunuchs, so why should civil servants intervene?
Isn't Chen Xun planning to deal with me?
I will use Chen Ding to break the game!
kill!
"Go, bring Chen Ding here!" Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered, thinking over and over whether he should kill Chen Ding.
The supervisor of ceremonies is an extension of the imperial power and is used to check and balance the cabinet.
If the supervisor of ceremonies is purged, and there is no capable eunuch to step in, the power of the supervisor of ceremonies will be annexed by the cabinet, and the imperial power will be weakened.
But if you don't clean it, is the supervisor of ceremonies mine?
Xinuang Pavilion was very quiet.
Zhu Qiyu hesitated.
"My lord, Tang Dudu and Commander Hang came to the palace to cry!" The door of the room was pushed open, and air-conditioning poured in.
"Tang Xing? Hang Yu?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes darkened: "Xuan come in!"
"Chen Jing, go to the door and stand there, sober, think clearly, whose dog are you!"
If you can't figure it out, kill them!
It's not his people anyway!
It's fun to kill them all!
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold, when Tang Xing and Hang Yu came in and cried.
"Your Majesty, people from the household department went to collect debts at home today, saying that the minister owes the household department 5 taels of silver. How can the minister's family have so much money!"
Tang Xing cried and robbed the ground, that was miserable: "Your Majesty, the household department is simply a robber. He just opened his mouth and asked for 5 taels of silver from the minister, and he didn't pay attention to the minister at all! That Zhang Feng, sarcasm, It’s almost like pointing at Chen’s nose and calling him a dog! If Chen is a dog, then…”
He didn't dare to continue, because calling the imperial concubine a dog would be a crime of genocide!Even if he is the biological father of the imperial concubine!
"Are you trying to say that the imperial concubine is also a dog? I am also a dog?" Zhu Qiyu's voice was cold.
"I don't dare to be disrespectful, it's just that Zhang Feng is too deceitful to ask me for 5 taels of silver..."
"I asked him to ask for it." Zhu Qiyu interrupted him coldly.
Tang Xing, on the other hand, seemed to be strangling his neck, looking at the emperor foolishly.
"Are you also because of money?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Hang Yu.
Hang Yu shivered, he was different from Tang Xing, his daughter Hang Queen was dead, so it was very empty.
"Chen, Chen..." Hang Yu didn't dare to admit it, and didn't want to really spend money.
"Hmph! Drag it out and fight!"
"what?"
Both Tang Xing and Hang Yu were taken aback. They just cried, how could the emperor be sentenced directly?
But the eunuchs of Qianqing Palace didn't care whether they were relatives of the emperor or not. They only obeyed the emperor's order and dragged the two of them down.
"Your Majesty, spare me!" Tang Xing screamed, thinking of the scene where the emperor forced him to have his heart cut, he was so frightened that he lost control of his urine.
"Forgive me? You, Tang Xing, should have spared my life!"
Zhu Qiyu asked someone to drag them back: "Tang Xing, your maid Xiaotao, do you still remember?"
Tang Xing nodded foolishly.
"She tried to poison me! I ask you, is she under your orders?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes widened.
"Ah?" Tang Xing was completely dumbfounded.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Hang Yu and said sharply: "And you, Hang Yu, what is your relationship with Liu Jing? Liu Jing offered Li Xi'er, and Li Xi'er tried to harm me. Are you an accomplice?"
Hang Yu was also frightened.
"You two, still have the face to cry to me? I didn't kill your whole family, it's because of Hang and Tang!"
"I asked you to pay some money to be loyal to Guojing, what's wrong?"
"When you were enjoying the benefits that the country gave you, why didn't you cry like this?"
"You enjoy the reward I gave you, why didn't I see you cry?"
"You want to take advantage of it!"
"When working hard, one runs farther than the other!"
"What do I support you for?"
"Eat idle food?"
"I have a dog, and I know it will wag its tail at me, what will you do?"
"The mud can't support the wall! When things happen, push three and four! Hold me back!"
"He's still hanging out with the rebels!"
"I didn't settle the score with you, but you actually took the initiative to settle the score with me first?"
"Okay!"
"Then settle the old and new accounts together!"
"Preach the decree! Deprive Hang Yu and Tang Xing of all positions! All knighthoods! Take back all rewards! From now on, Tang Xing will be assigned to Liaodong, Hang Yu will be assigned to Yunnan, and he will not be allowed to return to Beijing without an edict! All clans will be assigned!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were full of murderous intent.
"One hundred sticks, and then throw it out of the palace!"
Tang Xing and Hang Yu cried loudly.
Such two people deserve no sympathy at all.
"Come here, tell Xue Huan to enter the palace!" Zhu Qiyu was about to make a move.
Look, he even dealt with his father-in-law, if he dealt with the son-in-law again, it would be enough to make the court speechless.
"Is Chen Ding here?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes were full of killing intent.
"Waiting outside the palace."
"Let them all get out." Zhu Qiyu let out a foul breath, he used Tang Xing and Hang Yu to scare the chickens and monkeys, and the next one would be Sun and Zhang's relatives.
"Xu Gan, when Tang Xing leaves the palace, you take out half of the imperial concubine's dowry and give it to him, and tell him to settle down when he goes to Liaodong. Give the other half to Hang Yu, so don't tell him too much."
Xu Gan was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what the emperor meant.
While Zhu Qiyu was killing chickens and monkeys, he was also protecting Tang Xing and Hang Yu.
These two idiots can't survive in the maelstrom of the capital, and if they are sent out, at least one life can be saved.
In the future, if he is in power, he can order them back; if he really dies, it will be considered a complete cut this time, and they will not be liquidated when the new king ascends the throne.
Zhu Qiyu is really well-intentioned.
"My lord, Tang Dudu and Commander Hang will understand your good intentions." Xu Gan understood.
"Hmph, if they don't hate me, they'll be content."
Zhu Qiyu sighed, he wanted to be an only husband, and he also had to consider the feelings of his family.
Tang Xing and Hang Yu don't expect them to understand, I hope the imperial concubine can understand.
"Bring Chen Ding and Chen Jing in, and then go announce Chen Xiang." Zhu Qiyu regained his fierce expression.
"My servant greets the emperor." Chen Ding knelt on the ground with a disturbed expression.
Snapped!
A knife was dropped on the ground.
Chen Ding was startled.
Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to talk nonsense: "Chen Jing, do it."
Chen Jing is also stupid, really killed?
Is the emperor crazy? The power of the ceremonial supervisor is balanced, but the emperor suddenly flipped the table and used Chen Jing to kill Chen Ding for no reason.
"My lord, please forgive me! What happened to my servant, my lord wants to kill this servant!" Chen Ding was bewildered.
Zhu Qiyu stared at him: "Why did you kill you, don't you know?"
"I don't know." Chen Ding kowtowed.
"Stop pretending, you and I both know whose dog you are, so there's no need to say it out. That's why I want to kill you."
If Zhu Qiyu wanted to cheat Chen Ding, he would have ghosts in his heart, he would definitely be afraid, maybe there would be unexpected surprises.
Chen Ding swallowed his saliva.
"Kill!" Zhu Qiyu looked at Chen Jing.
However, Chen Jing knew that if he really killed Chen Ding, he would definitely not become the eunuch in charge of the chief of ceremonies, but would make Ruan Jian and Chen Xiang cheaper.
But he didn't know, because he hesitated, Zhu Qiyu drew a red cross in his heart.
"My lord, spare me!"
Chen Ding gritted his teeth, and said tremblingly: "This servant, in order to be the eunuch in charge of the superior, took refuge, took refuge in Xiao Weizhen, the censor of the right capital!"
His face was full of despair.
He took refuge in Xiao Weizhen, which was tantamount to taking refuge in the civil official group, but in the end he sold him in a blink of an eye, which was tantamount to cutting himself off from the world.
Xiao Weizhen belongs to Chen Xun.
No wonder Xing'an said that after him, Chen Ding served as the eunuch in charge of ceremonies. It turns out that Chen Ding took refuge in Xiao Weizhen.
But this is not the answer Zhu Qiyu wanted.
"Go on, who do you still belong to?"
"It's the emperor's person..."
Bang!
Xu Gan gave a heartfelt kick: "Thank you for being able to say it, are you from the emperor? Who are you working for, don't you know? Say it! If you don't say it, our family will kill you, and Chen Jing will also be killed." !"
Chen Jing trembled all over.
Chen Ding's face was full of despair, it must be Xing'an who confessed to him.
"Xu Youzhen has contacted the slave girl!" Chen Ding closed his eyes, he has only one way to go now, to be the emperor.
"It's euphemistic enough, but you are actually the emperor's man?" Zhu Qiyu sneered.
Chen Ding bang bang bang: "This servant has absolutely nothing to do with the Supreme Emperor, but Xu Youzhen contacted this servant and promised some benefits to this servant, but this servant refused! This servant dare not be disloyal to His Majesty, absolutely not! Please! The Lord trusts the slaves! Please, the emperor trusts the slaves!"
"You are my man, and you have taken refuge in Xiao Weizhen, and you are still ambiguous with the Supreme Emperor. Such a family slave with three surnames! Are you worthy of loyalty? Chen Jing, do it! Kill him!"
Zhu Qiyu was furious!
