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

Chapter 38 Use this as bait to lure the snake out of its hole! ! !
Zhang Juzheng was shocked by these words, his heart trembled, and the iron arrow in his hand passed through the rim of the cup.

Gao Gong even slipped with his bare hands, almost losing his grip on the iron arrow.

Something was wrong between the two of them.

Think carefully.

It does!

Ming Dynasty has now reached the middle stage, and its foundation has been set.

What effect can a few assassins have on forcing the palace?
There must be a huge undercurrent somewhere, with the power to subvert the Ming Dynasty!

"Two pavilion elders, their arrows almost fell to the ground."

"To be so panicked is very disappointing."

Zhu Yijun picked up the second iron arrow and gently raised his hand.

The projection is the same as before, but it makes people feel more sharp and fierce.

As if this arrow could kill someone, it flew into the bottle with just one swipe.

"It's the minister who neglected his duty!"

"I didn't consider the person behind the scenes. I deserve death!"

The two veterans were about to apologize for possession, but were stopped by Zhu Yijun.

"I know."

"After this round, it's not too late to apologize."

Picking up another arrow, Zhu Yijun looked intently at the mouth of the bottle without looking back.

Gao Gong and the other two looked puzzled.

Does Your Majesty want to play or discuss matters?
What the hell is going on?

He stretched out his hand and picked up the second arrow, only to find that this arrow actually had this hidden fold stuck to it!
Only then did the two pavilion elders understand what was going on.

So it turns out that it is not clear in the palace whether the remaining evil has been completely eradicated.

Having just experienced an assassination last night, it was natural to be cautious at this juncture.

The two quickly took the Anzhe and examined it carefully.

Another shock!
No wonder this method is used to convey the message!
On the fold, the bribes accepted by those people were listed.

Bribery is no big deal.

But the flow of these bribes was involved with a group of celebrities in the capital.

This group of celebrities did not serve as officials in the court. They just passed the scholar examination and did not pursue further studies.

For the court, this in itself does not matter. After all, they are just a few scholars and have little value.

However, it can no longer be viewed this way.

These celebrities in the capital have one common characteristic.

They have all been to the vassal town of King Zhennan.

Zhang Juzheng and the other two looked at the emperor in fear.

"Your Majesty, could it be..."

The object of your suspicion is King Zhennan?
The events of Emperor Chengzu's Jingnan Campaign are still unforgettable.

If you make a mistake, it will cost you almost your country!

However, Zhu Yijun is just charming.

It was as if there was no care or pressure at the moment.

"What's wrong? Both of you, the elders, have already shot the fourth arrow."

"If you keep procrastinating, you'll never lose."

The investment round has ended.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Yijun cursed a few words to spoil the fun, and then dismissed all the eunuchs around him.

In this way, even if someone with ears and ears got the news, all they would know is that the emperor was unhappy and was getting angry.

At this moment, only Zhu Yijun and his ministers were left in the Yangxin Hall.

The two veteran cabinet ministers were sitting in second place, still in shock as they had not recovered from the secret information for a long time.

If he hadn't heard the emperor express his doubts about King Zhennan with his own ears.

They may even think that this is false news deliberately released by outsiders in order to alienate the royal family.

After all, if the problem of King Zhennan is not handled carefully, the war will spread throughout the Ming Dynasty!
This is a major event that shakes the foundation of Ming Dynasty!

For such an important matter, the two veterans naturally did not dare to express their thoughts casually.

Waiting there, looking at Zhu Yijun on the throne, he asked for instructions on the next move.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being stupid."

"In this case, what should I do next?"

Zhu Yijun hummed softly, already knowing in his heart that these two old guys were good at pretending.

After working in this industry for so long, you still don’t know what to do next?
"Leadership!"

"I want you to hold an Imperial Academy, and the shouting should be loud enough to attract all the literati in the capital."

"The society will be chaired by Mr. Zhang Ge, Bachelor Xu and others, and will be assisted by Mr. Gao Ge."

Next, of course, it’s time to make a game.

Since the clues about King Zhennan are among the literati in the capital, we should start with the literati in the capital.

The literati in the capital had distinctive characteristics and basically had the desire to become officials.

The result of this is that they are very mobile in order to maintain relationships. They like to travel all over the world, and it is difficult to keep them together.

If we send people to search and check one by one, they will not be able to find the monkey year, horse month, and it is simply unrealistic.

This is also the reason why the people of King Zhennan can hide among these people.

Zhu Yijun naturally foresaw this truth, and he decided to open an imperial academy to find out what was going on.

As soon as the Imperial Society is opened, a group of people who want to be officials or become famous will gather in the capital.

By then, it will be much easier to check.

Those who gather will be investigated directly, and those who don't come will be first suspected of being spies of the King of Zhennan and then investigated slowly.

Eliminate the spies and kill two birds with one stone by grabbing some people to work and replenish the manpower lost by the court due to the purge.

When the two elders heard this, they already knew what the emperor was thinking. It would be better to say that they thought the same way.

"The minister waits for the order!"

He immediately got down from his seat, kowtowed, and hurriedly prepared for relevant matters.

……

Capital city, inside the palace.

In the waterway below the palace city, a small boat quickly sailed out from the waterway beside the palace.The man driving the boat looks old and wears a red robe.

Autumn water, lonely boat, autumn leaves drifting down from both sides of the bank, falling into the river.

They form an interesting contrast, a picture of autumn water, so beautiful.

However, this high-ranking official was not in a leisurely mood, and privately owned his boat to go out for fun.

Rather, the actual situation is exactly the opposite.

At this moment, he was desperately sliding the boat's oar from side to side, trying to escape.

He didn't even care that his robes were in a mess, his hair was disheveled, and he was rowing crazily.

In the morning, he got news that people from the West Factory were investigating the casino owner.

No one except him knew about the secret passage in the palace waterway, so he took this opportunity to escape after hearing the news.

He was just a little bit away from being able to reach the street and blend into the crowd!

He pushed the oar back hard and looked at the city pier in the distance, feeling very happy.

However, in the next second.

"Fire arrows!"

Following a soft shout, countless ambush soldiers wearing silver-white light armor on both sides of the palace waterway drew their bows.

The arrows, as dense as rain, aimed at every inch of the rider's body and flew towards him.

"Cowardly, you're a castrated dog from Xichang! You have such a sharp nose!"

The man on the horse cursed secretly and jumped up from the boat.

This leap was almost several feet high.

The arrows rained down, and thousands of arrows pierced the target on the boat, turning it into a hedgehog.

The people on the boat just avoided the rain of arrows and stepped on the side bank.

However, although he was already standing on the shore, the situation was not optimistic.

In less than a few seconds, the guards from the West Factory came out from the sides and surrounded him.

The passengers on the boat, with their backs to the waterway, immediately took up their stance, gathered their inner strength, and confronted the guards of the West Factory.

He expected to be able to open a gap and escape into the city streets while taking advantage of the chaos.

But before he could take action, a voice interrupted him.

"What a great kung fu, and you said you don't know how to do martial arts?"

Hearing this gentle voice, among the people in the West Factory, Yu Huatian walked in holding a three-edged sword.

"President Ouchi... No, 'The World's No. [-] Disguise Master' Sang Chong."

"When did you assassinate the imperial court official without anyone noticing and sneak in?"

The people on the boat, Sang Chong, saw that the person coming was Yuhuatian, and they lost all fighting spirit.

He had already heard about the governor's methods. He was someone who could fight Ye Gucheng many times. He, Sang Chong, didn't dare to mess with him.

"I just wondered how anyone in the West Factory would know about this secret passage."

"As expected, it's you, Yuhuatian."

"Don't blame me for that. That old official died of old age on his own, and I didn't touch a hair on him."

As if explaining the funeral arrangements, Sang Chong said lightly and put on makeup on his face, revealing the face of a handsome young man.

When Yuhuatian saw that the opponent's martial arts level was not bad, and wanted to reduce the cost of capture, he persuaded him to surrender:

"It doesn't matter whether you took action or not. What's important is that you committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"I advise you to surrender as soon as possible to avoid any physical pain!"

Who would have thought that this Sang Chong would no longer pay attention to anything Yu Huatian said.

He bowed to the sky and then shouted:
"Comrades, brothers, I am taking the first step!"

Yu Huatian sensed something was wrong and cut off his arm with a sword on the spot.

With weapons in their arms, they flew into the sky together.

However, Sang Chong still fell down, with the smile he had before falling.

Yuhuatian quickly stepped forward to check for breath and found that there was no breath at all.

He was poisoned, so he pried open his mouth, only to find that there was actually poison for suicide hidden in the molars!

What a cruel heart!

You can even kill yourself!
This clue is just broken!
……

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Yuhuatian knelt on the ground and reported the results of the mission to Zhu Yijun nervously.

"Your Majesty, I was incompetent and failed to save the target's life, thus cutting off this clue. Please punish me."

At the end of his speech, Yuhuatian kowtowed again to show his sincerity in apologizing.

However, Zhu Yijun seemed very calm and waved his hand to let him get up.

"Okay, get back on your feet."

"Help me catch this old dog from the court. It's a great achievement. It's not too late for me to reward you."

Yuhuatian was a little surprised. He didn't expect to receive positive feedback from the emperor.

However, the matter of broken clues still needs to be resolved.

"But, Your Majesty, how are we going to investigate..."

"Don't worry about clues. Sometimes, the dead are better than the living."

Zhu Yijun's words greatly confused Yu Huatian.

What does the emperor mean by these words?
Why are dead people better to use than living people?
Everyone is dead, how can he still say anything?

Looking at Yu Huatian's confused eyes, Zhu Yijun breathed out a little disappointedly and reminded him slightly:
"If he can assume Sheng Aiqing's identity, we can assume his identity, right?"

Yu Huatian was suddenly enlightened by this news.

indeed!

What the emperor meant was to use this as bait to lure the snake out of its hole!
At this time, he sent someone to continue pretending to be Sheng Duanming.

A little news was released to the outside world, saying that the inner ghost had rebelled and surrendered to the court.

Then naturally a lot of people will come over to silence him because they are in danger.

In this way, the clues will be overwhelming and the investigation will be endless.

Maybe, as long as you calm down and trick him at this time, you can still get some key information!

When Yuhuatian thought of this, he immediately became energetic and knelt down to accept the order:
"Emperor Shengming!"

"I will arrange for the West Factory personnel to take turns now!"
