However, Zhu Youxiao believes that these people on the surface do not dare to stop him too directly.After all, he is still the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.Whether it was the military town of Liaodi or the gentry in Jiangnan, they did not want the emperor to be too strong, but at the same time, they had to admit the emperor's rule over them.Because their privileges were obtained only by recognizing the status of the emperor.After all, they don't have other emperors worth investing in.The current Donglu is not worthy of their refuge, because no one will know that Donglu will become the lord of the Central Plains in history.Even Dong Yu himself didn't have this idea.Otherwise, Li Ruzhen, who historically belonged to the Liaodong Military Town, would not have committed suicide when he was questioned by the imperial court for not actively rescuing him, rather than rebelling and taking refuge in the eastern captives.Therefore, in Zhu Youxiao's view, he did not dare to completely break with himself before he had no other choice.What he needs to guard against now is that these people are doing something in the dark.And the risk of directly killing the monarch and replacing the Son of Heaven is too high, after all, once it fails, the Nine Clans will be exterminated.What's more, not long has passed since the death of Zhou Yanru and others.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao felt that it was very unlikely that these people would do something to themselves, but they were likely to do it to their cronies, and then achieve the goal of preventing themselves from doing certain things.After all, as long as the emperor's cronies are cut off, the emperor will become a real widow and a lonely person, and when the emperor does not have the support of foreign officials, the holy decree will not be able to leave the Forbidden City.Of course, Zhu Youxiao does not rule out that there are still people who will directly do it to themselves, the emperor.But Zhu Youxiao did not feel anxious because of this, nor did he decide to compromise because he was afraid of death, and became a lenient and benevolent emperor who was liked by the powerful gentry.In Zhu Youxiao's view, when it comes to the time when it is difficult to return to the Ming Dynasty, he is destined to be the son of peace.Because even if he doesn't take the initiative to innovate and eliminate the malpractices and save the Ming Dynasty, there will be a large number of scholars and doctors who are dissatisfied with the status quo within the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty and hope that the emperor will reform.Moreover, at this time, the contradictions within the ruling class are also very acute, and the internal struggle between different forces will intensify because of competing interests.As long as one side of the forces prevails, it will force the emperor to carry out a new policy, and use the new policy to exclude dissidents.This is something that the emperor cannot escape.Evasion, inaction, and death.Because, sitting in the position of this decision-maker, inaction is also an act.Even if they are not killed by the forces within the ruling class because of inaction, they will be killed by the external forces after they become bigger because of internal stromouing, or they will be killed by peasant uprisings that have become big because of the internal strove of the ruling class, which has led to the peasant uprisings not being successfully suppressed.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao knew that as soon as he became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, an empire that had developed for more than 200 years, he would not be able to stay out of the matter, and he had to do something.After all, inaction will also be assassinated, and action will also be assassinated, it is better to act boldly, maybe you can really turn the danger into a disaster.It is precisely because of this that Zhu Youxiao is so unscrupulous.He would rather be assassinated for offending vested interests than be almost assassinated in the Forbidden City by the common people for failing to improve the increasingly deteriorating living conditions of the people like Emperor Jiaqing of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.Of course, Zhu Youxiao will not be really defenseless.Zhu Youxiao's long-term plan is to expand his cronies as much as possible, to envelop most of the forces with the binding of interests and the concept of loyalty and filial piety, and to transfer the contradictions as much as possible when there is a chance in the future.The short-term plan is to strengthen the factory guards, try to increase the risk of making a move with severe torture, and use the spy force to target everyone for themselves.As for the rest, we can only look at creation.In fact, Zhu Youxiao also wanted to directly divert domestic contradictions through foreign plunder.But the problem is that now he must first strengthen his imperial power, that is, to take back the power to share the cake before he can make the cake bigger.Otherwise, according to the current model, in fact, the cake of the Ming Dynasty has been getting bigger, and the silver of the whole of America is about to flow into the Ming Dynasty, and the result is only a small number of people who are rich, so the domestic contradictions have been becoming more and more acute.The conversation turned back.Zhu Youxiao has a clear opinion about what kind of emperor he should be and how he should protect himself.And now Zhu Youxiao feels that he still has to strengthen the protection of his cronies, and take the initiative to prevent some forces from attacking the forces around him instead of attacking him, the emperor.Because he, the emperor, can't wait for others to cut off all his cronies, and then be killed again.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao instructed Wei Zhongxian: "Dongchang should continue to strengthen the power of investigating the world, set up various industrial shops for sentinel exploration, it is best to have the eyeliner of Dongchang in every market town, as well as various yamen palaces and the homes of high-ranking officials and eunuchs, and also increase the number of eyeliners, not only to investigate those traitors who have been substantiated, such as the powerful officials and gentry who have colluded with the Jin merchants after the seizure of the Jin merchants this time, but they should not be in a hurry to make trouble, lest they jump off the wall in a hurry, and even release news to the outside world, saying that you have not found out anything yet,, Paralyze them!
In addition, I must protect the few loyal ministers I rely on now!
In their home, they should also increase eyeliner, Fang Congzhe's son is a lesson, although you Dongchang knew about this matter in time, but you failed to make good use of this matter to dig out the people behind it, you have to reflect on it!
”Wei Zhongxian knew that Fang Congzhe's son's incident made his Dongchang and Jinyiwei lose face, after all, the capital was the territory of the factory guard, but there was a kidnapping of Shoufu's son.Therefore, he immediately replied with a correct attitude: "The emperor can rest assured!
The slave maid has already asked Dongchang to follow your orders and send more eyeliner, and the ministers of the DPRK and the central government and their relatives are all staring at the people of Dongchang, who has newly accepted a concubine and bought a new maid and slave, and the slave and maid have asked Zhu Youxiao to nod: "Spread my will and allocate another 500,000 taels to Dongchang!"
”"Slave and maid on behalf of the East Factory, Emperor Xie!
The slaves and maids and the East Factory will live up to the emperor's trust. ”Wei Zhongxian thanked him gratefully.But what Wei Zhongxian didn't expect was that as soon as he came to Dongchang to convey Zhu Youxiao's instructions, he heard Xu Xianchun hurriedly say: "Factory father!
Just now there was news on the market that Xu Guangqi's mother Qian is gone!
It seems that you were right, and there are people who want to do things in this way. ”Wei Zhongxian's expression became solemn after hearing this, and said: "Just now in the Qianqing Palace, the emperor was talking to our family about this, let us Dongchang strengthen the monitoring of the courtiers' families, but I didn't expect this to really happen!"
Is there someone from the Xu family in Jiangnan who has replied to the message?
Is this true, if it is true, the emperor will really be angry!
What do we do in Dongchang is to sweep away the conspiracy of those sinister villains before they happen, and to nip in the bud those things that may cause trouble to the emperor!
”"Don't worry!
Jiangnan replied to the news, there are gangsters who have bought off a servant girl next to the Qian family, and they want to attack the Qian family, and the chronic poison under the order began a few months ago, however, we found out, we controlled the handmaid, and persuaded the Qian family and the important people in the Xu Mansion through our eyeliner in the Xu Mansion, and the Qian family was out, and now the one who was poisoned to death was just a prisoner who was sentenced to be executed for pimping, and now the gangsters who assassinated the Qian family don't know that we have done something bad to them, so I really think that the Qian family is gone, and now I specially ask the factory to give an order, What are we going to do?
”Tian Ergeng, who was transferred to the East Factory at the request of Wei Zhongxian, who was specifically responsible for monitoring the hundred officials, reported to Wei Zhongxian.Wei Zhongxian nodded after hearing this: "Our family has to enter the palace immediately to ask the emperor!"
”......
"Who is so evil!"
He is using the same method to deal with Zhang Juzheng to deal with me!
Give me a strict investigation!
Follow the vine to find out the mastermind behind the scenes!
Fortunately, I have strengthened the strength of the East Factory and asked you to take precautions against these things in advance, otherwise you would have really been caught by them!
”Zhu Youxiao took a heavy breath after knowing this, and then gave Wei Zhongxian an order.
