"Spread the decree, Dongchang immediately sent someone to the Fuwang Mansion to arrest and honor Deng Ruochang, and strictly interrogate his motives!"
Zhu Youxiao commanded with a serious expression."
Slave obeys!"
Wei Zhongxian replied very cooperatively.Next, Wei Zhongxian immediately arranged for Yang Huan to take a large number of people from Dongchang to Henan on the grounds that he was ordered to investigate the murder case.All this is naturally a conspiracy that Zhu Youxiao asked Wei Zhongxian to do.Because these rentiers who need to be dismissed by Zhu Youxiao's reform are now very cowardly, and they all know that the emperor is not easy to mess with.After all, even the Donglin Party and the Jiangnan gentry, southwest Tusi, salt merchants, and Nanjing nobles behind it have been cleaned up by the emperor enough.Therefore, now few of these people still dare to hit the emperor's gun stupidly, and now they are very honest and do not commit crimes, and do not give Zhu Youxiao a chance to suppress them.Just like the current Fu Wang.Rao is Zhu Youxiao has confiscated a lot of his property, forced Zheng Guifei to death, and strictly dealt with the Zheng family, and even ordered King Fu to make up for the loss of 1.8 million taels of silver caused to the imperial court.But King Fu was still very reluctant and did not rebel, but only shirked Zhu Youxiao's will to let him enter Beijing to accept the crime on the grounds of illness.In short, now the vested interests of the Ming Dynasty seem to have begun to become very smart, and they no longer dare to take the initiative to provoke Zhu Youxiao.As a result, Zhu Youxiao, the emperor who wanted to innovate and eliminate cheats, had to take the initiative to find trouble, take the initiative to engage in conspiracy, to force these people to commit crimes, or take the initiative to find reasons to clean up these vested interests who have become shrinking turtles.From the perspective of King Fu and other vested interests who take the initiative to admit it, the current emperor Zhu Youxiao is really hateful, obviously they are very honest in order to protect their existing vested interests, but the emperor still refuses to let them go, bullying them and depriving them of their interests.But for Zhu Youxiao and the ministers who followed him, what the emperor had to do for the sake of the society, for the people of the world, and for the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty, right or wrong is no longer important, what matters is whether he can complete the political ambition of reform and disadvantage.Anyway, unlike before, it was the civil officials, doctors, nobles, and vassal kings who took the initiative to trouble Zhu Youxiao, and now it is Zhu Youxiao who takes the initiative to trouble these people.It became Zhu Youxiao who began to take the initiative to attack and create conspiracy.After all, Zhu Youxiao, the emperor, already controls a strong enough army, as well as a bunch of new interest groups whose interests are bundled.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao has the capital to take the initiative to find fault.The news of Han Yi's assassination and falling into the water naturally spread far and wide.The first to learn of this news were the salt merchants of Yangzhou not far from Huai'an, where Zhu Youxiao was stationed.Since the last time they were cleaned up by Zhu Youxiao, the salt merchants in Yangzhou have become very honest now, and they are afraid of being blackmailed by Zhu Youxiao again, so when Zhu Youxiao arrived in Yangzhou on the way back to Beijing, these salt merchants consciously went out of the city to greet each other, and even took the initiative to offer all kinds of rare treasures to please the emperor and avoid making the emperor angry.And because these salt merchants behaved very well when he came to Yangzhou on his way back to Beijing, Zhu Youxiao did not make it difficult for these salt merchants anymore.But Rao is Zhu Youxiao did not embarrass these salt merchants anymore, and when the news of Han Yi's assassination and falling into the water reached Yangzhou, these Yangzhou salt merchants were still a little frightened."
This time Han Ge Lao was assassinated and fell into the water, it is said that King Fu's people wanted to murder the emperor, but the emperor actually did not take the water road, but still took the dry road, so this assassin assassinated the wrong person!"
At this time, the salt merchant Yao Sunju told the other salt merchants about it."
No, I heard that this time the imperial court wants to reform the opening of the Chinese law, and the salt will be directly sent to the border town officials, and in the future, if the salt merchants want to change the salt introduction, they have to transport grain to the border towns and exchange the salt from the border town officials, and the one who put forward this reform proposal, they said that it was Han Ge Lao!
You say, will this make the emperor think that our salt merchants are making trouble, and looking for an opportunity to extort our salt merchants' silver?
”Ding Kuicheng, a salt merchant, waved his hand and said another version."
If that's the case, then the court is too greedy, and we have been extorted from 30% of our family business last time!
Besides, how dare we, the salt merchants, do such a thing now, if this is found out, we will be punished by the Nine Clans!
In my opinion, eighty percent is a conspiracy deliberately set up by the Ninefold Heaven (Zhu Youxiao) to suppress our salt merchants. ”Salt merchant Jin Maotai said busily."
Suppress our salt merchants?"
Yao Sunju couldn't help but ask, and hurriedly said: "How does the imperial court want to suppress it, is it really going to raid our home?"
”"It should be for the sake of this opening of the Chinese law, if any of us salt merchants want to be dissatisfied with this new policy and make waves, they will say that we are involved in this assassination, and then we will be exterminated!"
Jin Maotai said.Ding Kuicheng smiled helplessly: "How dare this!"
”Then, Ding Kuicheng said very unhappily: "It's just that this matter of opening the Chinese law to reform is really a headache, if we salt merchants want to continue to earn salt profits in the future, we will have to move to the border town of Tuntian, otherwise we will have to bear the huge cost of transporting grain, how can this Han Ge Lao make such a hateful suggestion!"
”"This is taking advantage of the merchants!
But what else can we do, we can only accept our fate!
However, because of this, maybe some of our salt merchants did such things because they were angry, and now we can only hope that the imperial court can let us salt merchants go, and ask us to transport grain to the border towns like before the Hongzhi Dynasty, we admit it, but don't really wipe us out!
”Jin Maotai said."
Alas!"
Ding Kuichu sighed.And Yao Sunju also sighed: "Pifu is not guilty of his crimes!"
”......
"Are you saying that Han Ge Lao was assassinated, and then Dongchang found out, it was instigated by people in this palace?"
”King Fu also stood up in horror after learning that Han Ge Lao had been assassinated and fell into the water and that Zhu Youxiao had ordered someone to arrest him.Ye Chuchun nodded hurriedly on the side and replied: "Absolutely true news, Your Highness, even if you don't want to rebel, this tyrant will give you a charge of killing the king, the student has already said it, Your Highness, what are you still hesitating about!"
”"The husband is not guilty of his crimes, although this king is not a husband, but he is still because he hinders his Zhu Youxiao's eyes, and he will not let him go."
King Fu was about to cry, his eyes moistened, he had never suffered such a grievance, and for a while, he directly looked up to the sky and scolded: "Zhu Youxiao!"
You tyrant, just because your father died, you united with your gang of traitors to bully this king like this!
This king is eager to eat your flesh, drink your blood, and sleep your skin!
You bastard!
Why are you so bad!
Since I was a child, no one has ever bullied this king like this!
Whining!
”And then, King Fu really cried, crying heartbreakingly.After crying, King Fu resolutely said: "This king has decided to raise troops!"
”......
"I'm very bad!
But I am saving the Ming Dynasty, if I don't do this to you now, in the future, the Ming Dynasty will be ruined because of you vassal kings, at least I won't make you a blessing feast when I kill you, and I can also give you a whole corpse for the sake of you being the vassal king!
”After Zhu Youxiao knew Zhu Changxun's words before he decided to rebel, he couldn't help but slander a few words in his heart.Although Zhu Youxiao felt that he was indeed bullying King Fu by doing this, he did not regret doing so, because he understood that if he wanted to do something great for the country and the people, he could not be a good person, not only to prevent people, but also to harm people.
