Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

It was a few days later.

A group of people returned to Beijing in a hurry.

Inside Fengtian Temple.

Zhu Di looked at the two tigers below quietly and said in a cold voice: "Have you found out?"

Erhu bowed his hands and saluted, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have investigated dozens of files and visited many elderly people. It is true that the Fujian Huang family suddenly appeared 30 years ago.

However, the officials related to the Huang family at that time either died of old age or were involved in major cases, and no one was left! "

"Your Majesty, I also discovered that the appearance of some members of the Huang family is different from that of the people of Ming Dynasty..."

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "So, the Huang family must be the descendants of the Pu family!"

Erhu said: "Your Majesty, according to Wei Chen's many years of experience, the Huang family must be descendants of the Pu family!"

"Humph!"

Zhu Di looked cold and said: "A bunch of lowly people actually want to continue to enjoy the dirty wealth of their traitorous ancestors by changing their names. It is simply a delusion!"

Erhu said: "Your Majesty, please ask your ministers to mobilize all the soldiers and horses in Fujian. We will definitely capture and bring everyone in the Huang family to justice!"

"I……"

Zhu Di was about to give the order when he remembered something and paused.

"This matter also involves the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce. Let's discuss it with Marquis Dinghai!"

"Marquis Dinghai?"

Erhu was startled. His Majesty was just a merchant's family, but he actually wanted to ask the Marquis of Dinghai for his opinion?

This Marquis of Dinghai is so trusted by His Majesty?
On the side, Zhu Di had no idea that his subconscious words made Erhu so surprised.

"Come here, summon Marquis Dinghai to see you!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yi Shiha responded quickly and hurried out, arranging his servants to go to Dinghaihou Mansion to deliver the edict.

As the weather in the capital became colder and colder, Guo An stayed at home during this period and did not go anywhere.

therefore.

When the chamberlain walked into Dinghaihou Mansion, Guo Anzheng was wearing a cotton blanket and sitting on a soft chair in front of a large French window.

in front of you.

Guo Han and Guo Shen each held a book in their hands and were reading it seriously.

The youngest, Guo Lu, has just begun his enlightenment and can only read a hundred words.

Although he was holding a book, he was like a little monkey, unable to sit still at all. Before he could sit down for a while, he went to drink water, go to the hut, or eat snacks...

Regarding this, Guo An also opened one eye and closed the other.

"Master, someone is coming to the palace!"

Guo Ang stepped forward and reported in a low voice.

"Ok?"

Guo An slowly opened his eyes, surprising the waiter who followed him in.

This Marquis of Dinghai was taking a nap just now?
Guo An took the lead and asked: "This chamberlain, does your Majesty have something to give you?"

The chamberlain hurriedly said: "Go back to the Marquis of Dinghai, Your Majesty summons the Marquis to see you!"

"In such a hurry?"

A trace of reluctance flashed in Guo An's eyes, but he still got up and walked out.

“The capital is actually colder than Peking!”

After leaving the room, Guo An shivered subconsciously.

The chamberlain nodded in agreement and said, "What the Marquis said is true. For some reason, the winter in the capital is actually colder than in Peking..."

Guo An was stunned for a moment, turned to look at the chamberlain seriously, and asked: "Are you also a former member of Prince Yan's Mansion in Peking?"

The chamberlain nodded quickly, "Back to the Marquis, I am an old member of Prince Yan's palace!"

"Then do it well!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "You are the people His Majesty trusts most in the palace."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your teaching!"

Along the way, the waiters' faces were full of joy.

……

Entering the Fengtian Hall, there was only Erhu, standing aside respectfully.

Guo An was heartbroken and quickly stepped forward to salute.

"Wei Chen sees His Majesty!"

"Guo Qing is here!"

Zhu Di raised his head from the memorial with a gentle look on his face.

Guo An asked directly: "I wonder if your Majesty has summoned ministers here, but what about the Huang family?"

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Jinyiwei has found out that the Huang family is indeed the descendant of the Pu family in Quanzhou!"

Guo An was surprised and said: "There are still people who dare to change their citizenship?"

Zhu Di's face was full of anger, "Humph, what do those corrupt officials dare not do as long as they give them money?"

Guo An nodded and continued: "Your Majesty wants to take over the Huang family?"

Zhu Di said coldly: "Since they are descendants of the Pu family, they will have to stay in a lowly position for the rest of their lives and will never be able to turn over!"

Guo Andao: "But Your Majesty, if the Huang family is the descendant of the Pu family and is made public, I am afraid it will damage your Majesty's reputation!" "Reputation?"

Zhu Di sneered, "Just a Pu family can't affect us."

That being the case, he was relieved.

Guo An breathed a sigh of relief, "In that case, your Majesty, feel free to arrest them. However, since the Huang family are descendants of the Pu family, they must know where many of the Pu family's belongings are hidden. Your Majesty must not kill them directly!"

"The Pu family's belongings?"

Zhu Di's eyes lit up and he looked at Erhu below.

Erhu quickly raised his hands and saluted, "Report to your majesty, the Pu family has tens of millions of wealth!

When Taizu consigned him to a lowly status, he confiscated all his family property.

However, this situation of the Huang family should be an omission.

This time Wei Chen will arrest everyone in the Huang family and interrogate all the property hidden by the Pu family in Quanzhou! "

Zhu Di said again: "If you give us a good interrogation, we won't believe it. The Huang family is the only one in the Pu family who has changed their names!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Erhu responded solemnly and retreated.

Guo An said again: "Your Majesty, since the Huang family in Fujian has been destroyed, how should we deal with the remaining members of the Huang family?"

"Hand in!"

Zhu Di said lightly.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Guo An responded respectfully.

Obviously, at this time, Zhu Di had also realized how valuable members of the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce were.

Above, Zhu Di thought of something and said: "Guo Qing, if there is a vassal king who is really willing to lead troops to conquer those barbarian countries, can they be allowed to go?"

"The vassal king went to sea to conquer?"

Guo An was startled and asked quickly: "If your Majesty wants to control all overseas lands, he must be inseparable from the vassal kings and nobles!
I dare to ask Your Majesty, but a feudal prince has already reported it to Your Majesty? "

"No!"

Zhu Di slowly shook his head, "It's just that, as Emperor Taizu Gao went too far, some vassal kings felt that no one could control them, and started to act wildly!"

Guo An asked curiously: "Your Majesty, who is the vassal king?"

Zhu Di said: "Acting for the king!"

"On behalf of the king?"

Guo An's eyes narrowed, the most evil king in the Ming Dynasty?

He seemed to remember that this acting king, relying on some merits of Jingnan, did not commit any major evil in the vassal territory, but he continued to do small evil.

However, this acting king was very good at bullying the weak and avoiding the strong. After killing Zhu Di, he was so senior that no one in the entire Ming Dynasty could control him. He bullied the people and officials became even more unscrupulous.

He even doted on his side wife and drove away his concubine and legitimate son!

Unfortunately, this man lived a very long time and survived the disaster for thousands of years!
Was named the most evil king in the Ming Dynasty!

Guo An said angrily: "Your Majesty, Emperor Taizu Gao created the feudal princes to serve as the vassal screen for the Ming Dynasty. He did not let these princes oppress the people wantonly!"

"Guo Qing, don't be anxious."

Zhu Di smiled slowly, "We will never allow these vassal kings to oppress and exploit the people wantonly!"

“Huang Kao left them behind to help the Ming Dynasty resist the Mongols in the north.

If Guo Qing's strategy can work wonders, the northern Mongols will no longer threaten our Ming Dynasty, and these vassal kings will no longer be of any use to the Ming Dynasty! "

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Guo An nodded slightly, feeling relieved.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who doted on his sons, would not allow them to oppress the people at will in their own vassal territory.

Now, in the hands of Zhu Di, naturally he would not allow those vassal kings to oppress the people.

……

The Huang family incident first broke out in the capital.

Any wealthy businessman will have good relationships with many local officials.

And the Huang family is the descendant of the Pu family in Quanzhou, so they will deliberately cling to some officials as their backers.

Therefore, some officials were quickly identified.

Immediately.

Not only were the Jiangnan merchants uneasy, but also the officials who had accepted the filial piety from the Huang family were on tenterhooks all day long.

This Your Majesty is not a good person.

It has only been a short time since he took the throne, but the second major case has already begun.

It took less than three days.

In the capital, a supervisory censor was implicated.

In Fujian and others, several officials were implicated.

In this regard, not a single official in the entire court interceded.

In fact, all the officials pretended to be deaf and dumb, as if the Huang family incident had never happened.

Descendants of the Quanzhou Pu family who betrayed their master and betrayed their country...

These thieves are really bold. Not only can they keep their lives, but they can also change their names and continue to enjoy the glory and wealth. They can stay in Fujian or far away from the capital...

He actually came to the capital and got in under His Majesty's nose. He deserves to be killed!
Fortunately, in the Ming Dynasty, there are only descendants of the Huang family and the Pu family in Quanzhou!
