Most of the old man's sons have inherited his military talent and his fearless temperament.
However, few people inherited his strict moral standards.
What he hated most in his life was violating national laws and corrupting national disciplines.
Before each son came to the vassal, the old man repeatedly told him that the world had just been stable for a few decades, and the people were in hardship. Don't mobilize the people to build the royal city, don't want luxury and enjoyment, and be aware of the suffering of the people.
But few sons remember these words!
As the old saying goes, a real man will inevitably have an unkind wife and an unfilial son.
The old man can be brutal and arbitrary when dealing with his ministers. But he is really a bit reluctant to deal with his sons. After all, they are all the blood of his Zhu family.
"The prince, enjoying the glory and wealth, actually wants to send people to buy and sell private salt. What is he going to do?" The old man gritted his teeth and roared, "We have embarrassed him! Even if we are buying and selling private salt, we can't hide it.
Are you looking for someone who colludes with Xun Gui in private to buy it?"
"Lawless!"
"Stupid as a pig!"
"Grandpa Huang, please calm down!" Zhu Yunxi walked up behind the old man and rubbed his back, "It's not worth getting so angry because of them!"
"Dasun, let me ask you!" the old man said, "If it is really Old Seventeen who instigated the salt merchants, how would you deal with it? Presumably, this is not the first time he has done this kind of thing! Moreover, maybe he has done it before
Other illegal things!"
As he spoke, the old man gritted his teeth and continued, "I believe that among the vassal kings, it is not just Lao Shiqi who has done these bastard things!"
"Uncle Seventeen is talented in both academics and martial arts!" Zhu Yunxi said slowly, "His youthful nature is arrogant and arrogant, but he may not have bad intentions. After all, it was you who taught him, our young Ming Dynasty boy.
King Sai."
"However, he was successful at a young age and kept talking in the fiefdom. He may have been encouraged by others. Sun'er feels that it is too early to say this before the conclusion is finalized. If the conclusion is really finalized, it would be better to recall him to the capital and question him face to face.
!”
The old man thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes!" After saying that, he shouted to the outside world, "Go and let people find out about this matter quickly!"
When the emperor was angry, millions of people were buried dead, not to mention a few businessmen who were attached to the vassal king!
Jinyiwei Zhenfusi's severe punishments were not used, so he just poured beans through a bamboo tube and used them all.
They were not full-time salt merchants. They were merchants who helped King Ning deal with furs and horses every year in Daning, and also specialized in selling tea, sugar and other items.
Daning is a big border town, and the barbarians on the grasslands outside can't get the fine salt from the Central Plains. So in recent years, they have been secretly selling salt there.
The selling price is more than double that of the Central Plains. Moreover, there are many honest and honest people among the Hu people. They often sell salt, and what they get are fine furs, live war horses, cattle and sheep. If they are transferred to the Central Plains, the price difference is several times that of the Central Plains.
.
However, they confessed that most of their national players' money still went into Prince Ning's pocket.
Prince Ning, use this money to raise troops!
Among the 80,000 armored men in Daning, those who belonged to the Ming Dynasty and were registered in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion naturally received military pay and rewards. As for the Hu cavalry who were under King Ning's command, they all had to rely on King Ning himself.
Dig your wallet.
The interrogation documents were sent to the palace, and the old man was silent for a long time after reading them.
Then, an imperial edict was rushed to Daning for 800 miles, and King Xuanning came to Beijing!
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that King Ning will not be left behind this time. In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has implemented an economic blockade on the foreigners outside the Great Wall, and has strictly controlled salt, tea, sugar, cotton and other supplies. However, the vassal king secretly took the lead in violating the law and discipline.
If you don't give an explanation, how can you convince the public?
Furthermore, since salt, tea and other items were secretly traded, were there also iron tools?
The military men and nobles all shrank their necks and did not dare to speak out for fear of being implicated. But the civil servants were ready to go forward. As long as they had a strong head to take the lead, they had to make mistakes, and King Ning would be disgraced and out of control.
~~~
"Once King Ning comes to Beijing, who will command Daning's military power?"
In the East Palace, Zhu Yunxi sat on the throne and asked questions to the ministers below.
Xu Huizu thought about it and said, "The commander of the Daning Guard is Zhou Tai, the son of the late Duke of Ru, and his deputy is the Prince Consort, Guo Zhen, the eldest son of Marquis Wuding!"
After both of them were meritorious officials, the Duke of Ru was a Marquis of Xiongwu, a Huaixi military general with Zheng Miaohong roots, and he was granted the title of Duke after Hongwu died in the 23rd year, which shows his status in the heart of the old man.
His son Zhou Tai is in his forties and has been trained in the military since he was a child to be a calm man.
Another Guo Zhen, not to mention the eldest son of Wu Dinghou, so the nephew of Concubine Guo Ning, and the old man's son-in-law. (This man died at the age of twenty-seven. It was originally a minor illness, but Emperor Jianwen sent someone to treat it, and he was given
He was put to death. Then, his father, Wu Dinghou Guo Ying, fought against Yan King Zhu Di and was defeated!)
It seemed that the old man had taken great pains to choose the general for Prince Ning, and had ulterior motives.
"Send them a letter!" Zhu Yunxi said in a deep voice, "Tell them that there can be no chaos at the border! Prince Ning's visit to the capital is a small matter, don't make people panic!" After saying that, he thought about it again and said, "Guo Zhen is the old son of Wu Dinghou.
Love is like a treasure. If this happens, find a way for him to return to the capital as soon as possible and serve under the knee of the old army prince!"
"I understand!" Xu Huizu only said three words, and then said no more.
His nature is like this. He doesn't say a word that shouldn't be said too much. He does his job conscientiously, but is a little boring.
Zhu Yunxi was talking to his ministers when the bastard appeared outside the palace gate.
"What's the matter?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
The bastard replied, "Your Highness, Mrs. Cao Guogong is crying outside the palace gate and begging to be seen!"
"What is she here for?" Zhu Yunxi frowned.
"She said that if she doesn't see His Highness, she will kneel and die outside the door!" Bastard said again.
Li Jinglong is still in prison, and the old man has neither said how to deal with it nor released him.
In fact, for him, Zhu Yunxi just wanted to teach him a small lesson. He didn't mind that his ministers had selfish motives, but what he did mind was that his ministers had to consider selfishness in everything they did. It was a good thing for the minister to be smart, but it was a bad thing to be too smart.
Li Jinglong made two mistakes in the Prince Ning affair.
First, he did not report the businessmen in time when they contacted him.
Second, when it was time for him to come forward to participate in the impeachment, he hid.
Although there is some truth in what he said, Zhu Yunxi also heard the four words he least wanted to hear from his words: be wise and protect yourself!
Putting him in jail is actually just a slight punishment to let him figure it out on his own. Everything he has now was given by the East Palace. If it can be given to him, it can also be taken back.
You are from the East Palace, whose safety can you protect?
The way to control your subordinates has always been like this!
Zhu Yunxi thought about it and said, "Let her in!" After saying that, he wanted to let the ministers retreat, but he still pondered for a moment, "Xu Huizu and Tie Xuan stay, and the others can go down!"
"Your Majesty, please leave!"
Not long after the courtiers in the palace left, Wang Bashi came in with Li Jinglong's wife, Deng, who was in a daze.
"My concubine, I would like to meet the emperor's great grandson Qiansui!"
After she was a hero, she was not a crying little daughter. But in the years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, countless heroes have been killed. Suddenly her husband was imprisoned, and she was really scared.
"Don't you think it's not chaotic enough?" Zhu Yunxi said angrily, "A woman is just waiting at home, and wants to make trouble in the East Palace of Gu? After you are still a hero, you don't have this knowledge? Are you not afraid of people's jokes?
!”
"I am not afraid!" cried Deng. "I stand up for my husband, whoever likes to laugh at it will laugh at me!" Then he continued, "Your Highness, if you were not really worried, how could I, a prostitute, show up in public?
This is the next best thing!"
He cried and wiped his tears, "My master is in danger, Your Highness must save him. He is the most loyal to you. At home, he often says that everything he has now is given by Your Highness, and he will always be loyal to you in this life.
No two!"
"I am a concubine who knows nothing about military affairs. My old man offended the emperor and went to jail. The only one who can save him is Your Highness!"
"My master also said yesterday that His Highness's birthday will be in a few days, and he asked me to collect some good things to congratulate His Highness on his birthday!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi also felt soft in his heart.
He even forgot that his birthday was coming soon.
