Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 82 Suing Huang Zicheng

This time, if it weren't for the old monk and Bai Chu, he might not have survived.

But fortunately, it's all over. What he has to do now is to quietly accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity to come.

After Zhu Di was sure that the old monk had moved everything needed for the rebellion overseas, he bowed deeply to Bai Chu.

If Bai Chu hadn't been far-sighted and suggested building a shipyard and going overseas, I'm afraid that all his hard work would have been in vain, and his family might even be hurt.

Zhu Di knew that Zhu Yunwen would never let it go. He would definitely send people to Peking again to look for evidence of his rebellion.

Zhu Yunwen would not be able to rest at ease unless he died.

After figuring everything out, the two of them began to think about the preparations they should make in Yingtian City. They didn't fall asleep until it was getting late.

At the same time, in the East Palace.

Zhu Yunwen was also talking secretly with Huang Zicheng, but the atmosphere of the conversation between the two was very relaxed:
  "Mr. Huang, now that Zhu Di has been personally ordered by the emperor to imprison Yingtian City, there should be no more trouble.

Zhu Yunwen looked happy. If he hadn't been concerned about his image, Zhu Yunwen would have laughed out loud.

"King Yan has lost power, and our plan to reduce the vassal vassal should be advanced.

"I wonder, Mr. Huang, what is our next goal?"

Huang Zicheng had a straight face, as if everyone owed him hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but at this time, his eyes would show joy from time to time.

Listening to Zhu Yunwen's question, Huang Zicheng shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. King Yan was only temporarily imprisoned in the capital. He was not imprisoned and did not lose his power.

“If the situation changes in the future, King Yan Zhu Di is likely to make a comeback.

"Now, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue him and drive him into a place of eternal destruction."

Zhu Yunwen was shocked when he heard this, but soon he understood what Huang Zicheng meant and asked quickly:

"Mr. Huang, what should I do?"

Huang Zicheng touched his beard and said in a deep voice: "First, send people to Peking to collect evidence of Zhu Di's rebellion.

"This time, the influence of the Yan Palace in Beiping has been greatly reduced, and Zhu Di is at his weakest. If we send people there again, we will definitely find out something."

"When the time comes, if we arrest Zhu Di again, we will say that he is treasonous. Even if the emperor wants to protect Zhu Di, it will be impossible."

Zhu Yunwen clapped his hands and praised.

Today, Zhu Yuanzhang not only ordered that all Prince Yan's palace be moved to the capital.

They even sent all the ministers from the court to the Beiping Mansion to avoid chaos in Beiping once Zhu Di left.

If Zhu Yunwen can insert his cronies among these officials, Zhu Yunwen believes that he will definitely be able to find evidence of Zhu Di's rebellion. "Mr. Huang, what else is there? What should we do next?"

“If you want to rebel, you need money and food.

Huang Zicheng talked eloquently:

“Your Highness Taisun, you should take all the properties of Prince Yan’s palace, including the royal coal mines, back to the imperial court, thus cutting off Prince Yan’s financial resources in one fell swoop.

"At that time, even if Zhu Di wanted to rebel, he would have no money, no military pay, and no food to buy, so how could he have breakfast?
  When Zhu Yunwen heard this, his eyes lit up and he praised:
  "Mr. Huang is a great talent. He analyzes problems and sees blood for a while.

"It's just that taking back this land is not a big problem. Anyway, there are still many people farming in Ming Dynasty. At worst, we will find a group of tenants to come over.

However, I really haven’t thought about who should take over the royal family’s charcoal industry? ” ˆ ˆ “After all, doing business is a lowly business, and I really don’t have anyone like this available to me.

"I wonder if Mr. Huang has any suggestions?"

Huang Zicheng's stern face finally showed a smile, and he answered loudly:

"It just so happens that there are one or two people around me who know how to do business. If my grandson needs it, I can let them visit me in the future.

Zhu Yunwen nodded, knowing that what Huang Zicheng was planning was the so-called royal charcoal industry.

But he didn't care. He wasn't short of money anyway. Besides, Mr. Huang also helped him a lot and was a great help.

Therefore, it is normal to be a little selfish, and Zhu Yunwen did not blame Huang Zicheng.

The two discussed it, and in short, they wanted to break Zhu Di's layout in Peiping.

All coal mines were confiscated, all iron mines were confiscated, all fiefdoms were nationalized, and Zhu Di's foundation was destroyed. In this way, the two of them did not believe that Zhu Di could still play any tricks. Once Zhu Di had evidence of rebellion, they would mercilessly push Zhu Di into the abyss of eternal destruction.

As the days passed, Zhu Yunwen continued to eradicate Zhu Di's wings according to Huang Zicheng's plan.

Winter is coming in a blink of an eye, and the cold wind in November makes people shiver. It is obvious that this winter is colder than last year.

But those were others. Zhu Yunwen was living a very comfortable life now. All of Zhu Di's property was in his pocket, and Zhu Di's wife and son finally set off to return to the capital.

Everything went smoothly, Zhu Yunwen even felt that Zhu Di was dead.

It's a pity that all these beautiful things began to change because of one person's entry into Beijing.

Yingtian Mansion, the Meridian Gate of the Imperial Palace City, and the place where the drums are heard.

“Dong dong dong!!”

Zhu Yuanzhang has only been sounded three times since its establishment.

Every drum beat means something is going to happen, and it also means someone is going to die.

When someone heard the sound of drums, the officials on duty were shocked and ran over quickly to see who was so bold as to come to the capital to complain!
  Emperor Hongwu, in order to prevent the people from being bullied and corrupt officials, specially set up this Dengwen drum outside the Meridian Gate.

Moreover, a censor will stand guard here every day. If anyone dares to be lazy, he will not only lose his official position, but even his own head will fall off.

Therefore, as soon as the censors on duty heard the sound of the drum, they would immediately get very energetic and not dare to take it lightly.

The person on duty today is none other than Shandong Fuyin, Wang Du.

When Wang Du walked to the Meridian Gate, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a raincoat, waving the drum hammer in his hand desperately and beating the Dengwen drum.

More and more people gathered around, and even the guards at the Meridian Gate did not dare to come forward when they saw this scene.

Once the Dengwen drum sounds, it means that what they have done will inevitably reach the ears of the emperor. If the emperor knows that they dare to stop someone from complaining, I am afraid that they will be the first to die. people.

But Wang Du couldn't turn a blind eye, otherwise, tomorrow his head would be hung on the east city gate, and Zhu Yuanzhang would regard him as a model, killing chickens to scare other monkeys.

Zhu Yuanzhang always opened up his voice and paid special attention to the voices of the people at the bottom.

Now this person is clearly a farmer.

Wang Du did not dare to neglect, and walked forward quickly, pushing aside the people who were blocking the way. He came to this man and asked Bai Zhi: "Who are you? Why do you want to beat this drum? What grievances do you have? Please report it quickly." Come?"

"The villain's name is Li Laosan. He is from Peiping. He is here specially to ask Mr. Huang Zicheng, the Imperial Hanlin Master!" If Zhu Di were here, he would definitely recognize that this person is none other than his savior, Mr. Li. three.
