Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty: Suppress the mythical martial arts at the beginning!

Chapter 116: Investigate one person and arrest another! ! !
In the lobby, there was silence.

A few seconds later, Zhang Juzheng added: "Furthermore, because we are far away from the market, we may not be able to truly understand the scope of price increases at the beginning."

"According to our investigation, the scope of this price increase covers hundreds of items!"

Hearing this, Gao Gong suddenly sighed.

He took a deep breath and said, "Well, it seems that I underestimated those businessmen and underestimated the suffering of the people."

"Now it seems that we can only rely on the power of the government. Otherwise, it may be difficult to suppress it!"

"Master Gao, what are you going to do?"

"Yes, do you want to use the army?"

Several adults chatted all over the place.

Gao Gong, on the other hand, fell into silence.

He did not express an opinion, but looked at Zhang Juzheng: "Master Zhang, what do you think we should do?"

Zhang Juzheng thought for a while: "Master Qi, according to the opinion of the minister, this matter needs to be considered in the long term! After all, there are too many things involved!"

"The current situation requires no delay. If we take a long-term approach, I'm afraid it won't be very good!"

After hearing what Zhang Juzheng said, an adult suddenly said.

Zhang Juzheng frowned slightly, looked at the adult, and said calmly: "There is one thing I need to remind you. Behind the businessmen is money, and behind the money are many officials and relatives of the emperor."

Having said this, Zhang Juzheng looked at Gao Gong again: "So Master Gao, if we want to deal with those businessmen, we must fully consider the resistance behind them."

Hearing this, Gao Gong frowned but still said nothing.

He held on to the armrests of the chair and sat down.

He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea.

Entrance feeling,

The tea at this time was quite bitter.

After a moment, Gao Gongcai said: "Well, Master Zhang's words do make sense. I agree with your point of view."

After a pause, Gao Gong asked again: "Mr. Zhang, as far as you know, who are currently involved in some trouble?"

Zhang Juzheng lowered his voice subconsciously: "Sir, as of now, we can find some people who hold military power."

"There are important ministers in the court."

"Also, some of the natal families of important figures in the harem."

After saying that, everyone looked at Gao Gong.

When he heard this, Gao Gong's brows furrowed even more.

He knew that no matter which item he picked out, he had to weigh it carefully.

For a moment, the entire cabinet fell into silence.

After a while, Zhang Juzheng spoke again: "Everyone, I'm afraid this matter is no longer something we can handle."

"I suggest that we report it to His Majesty immediately, without delay!"

After speaking, Zhang Juzheng looked at Gao Gong, waiting for Gao Gong's reply.

Gao Gong thought deeply for a few seconds.

Immediately, he patted the table and said, "I agree!"

"The Emperor still has to make the decision on this matter!"

"Master Zhang, let's go see the emperor right now!"

finished,

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng entered the palace immediately.

At this time, Zhu Yijun was handling official business in the imperial study.

"See the emperor!"

The two saluted.

Hearing this, Zhu Yijun immediately stopped writing and looked at the two people with a smile.

Then, he waved his hand: "My dear friends, no courtesy!"

"Thank you, Emperor, for your kindness!"

"You two are in love, but have you found out the reason for the rising prices?"

Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng nodded.

"Your Majesty is wise, I have just found out that the reason for the rise in prices is that businessmen have joined together to drive up prices and make up for the lost profits because of taxes. There are as many as hundreds of businessmen involved, and there are dozens of items. "Hundreds"

"what?!"

Hearing this, the smile on Zhu Yijun's face immediately disappeared.

Almost at the same time, he stood up and reached the bottom of the steps.

"Your Majesty, do we have to take care of this matter?" At this time, Gao Gong asked cautiously.

"If you have to take care of it, of course you have to take care of it!"

Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and then said decisively: "Check! Check one person, arrest one person!"

"Don't let me let anyone go!"

Hearing this, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng looked at each other.

Then, Gao Gong said: "Your Majesty, the forces involved behind this matter are somewhat deep and somewhat broad."

"I understand your concerns."

Zhu Yijun narrowed his eyes slightly, sat back on the dragon chair, and immediately said with a serious face: "No matter who dares to shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty or affect the stability of the Ming Dynasty, I will not forgive you!"

The sound fell, shocking!
Hearing this, Gao Gong took reassurance.

Immediately, he clasped his fists firmly and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely abide by Your Majesty's will and handle this matter well!"

"it is good!"

Zhu Yijun nodded, waved his hand and said: "Go down and do it!"

"Yes!"

So, the two bowed and retreated.

After Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng left the imperial study, they went directly to the cabinet.

The next thing they have to do is to arrest all these businessmen!

After all, now that they have Shang Fang's sword, they have nothing to fear!
At this time, when all the adults in the cabinet saw the two Gao Gong returning, they all stepped forward and saluted: "Master Gao! Master Zhang!"

Zhang Juzheng nodded slightly and signaled everyone to refrain from courtesy.

Then, Gao Gong waved his hand and said with a serious face: "Comrades, please pass on my order to arrest those illegal businessmen immediately!"

"Yes!"

The crowd responded.

Then, one by one, they left.

It was almost dark when these people came back to resume their duties.

"Sir Qi Zuo, all the illegal businessmen found so far have been brought to justice!"

"Now they are all locked up in the capital prison!"

Gao Gong nodded when he heard this: "Well, very good! You have worked hard, go down and rest first!"

With that said, Gao Gong turned around and looked at Zhang Juzheng: "Master Zhang, let's go meet these businessmen."

Zhang Juzheng nodded and followed Gao Gong out of the cabinet.

Soon, the two came to the capital prison.

Before he even entered, he could already hear the commotion inside the prison.

"Gao Gong, you old man!!"

"I want to sue you! You stupid official!"

"You are cutting off my financial path!"

"You will not die well! Your son will suffer retribution."

"I want to sue you until you lose everything!"

"Yes! You are going to be in trouble!!!"

Listening to the dirty words of these businessmen, Gao Gong snorted coldly, pushed the door open and walked in. He stood next to the threshold and said calmly: "Shut up!"

Hearing this, the noise in the prison suddenly stopped.

Everyone looked at Gao Gong.

Gao Gong looked around and said in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, are you responsible for the rising prices in the capital?"

"Hmph! Gao Gong, why don't you spit on others!"

"Who do you think you are! Stop talking nonsense!"

"That's right! If you want to catch me, you can catch me!"

Hearing this, Gao Gong said coldly: "I'm not who you are! But if you continue to quibble, you can only be sentenced according to the law!"

"you"

The merchant stared at Gao Gong angrily.

Gao Gong was not afraid at all, but looked at the merchant with contempt.

The man was despised by Gao Gong, but he was silent and did not respond for a long time.
