Yang Feng's every move in the capital was actually under the close attention of many people. The news that he led his troops into the Duke Cheng's mansion to arrest Zhu Chunchen immediately spread throughout the capital like a whirlwind.

Before those people could come back to their senses, Yang Feng ordered Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei to lead 30,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp to dispatch at the same time, and rushed to dozens of grain stores in the capital that took the opportunity to raise prices, sealed and confiscated all these grain stores and grain warehouses, and investigated and dealt with more than 20,000 stones of confiscated grain.

The capital was shocked for a moment, and many people were shocked while being surprised by Yang Feng's courage.

"Your Majesty... Yang Feng is unreasonable, you have to make the decision for Weichen!"

"Yang Feng acts so arrogantly. He wants to cut himself off from the world. You can no longer protect this treacherous person!"

In the Ganqing Palace

Zhu Youxiao looked at the nobles, martial artists, and some relatives who were kneeling in front of him, crying bitterly or cursing, and felt a little disappointed. He looked at them and said slowly: "You are all royal relatives who are the same relatives as the country, but see what you have done? Hoarding, rampant, bullying men and women, you are digging the foundation of the Ming Dynasty! I want to ask you, what benefits will it do to you if the Ming Dynasty perishes, can you get a higher title than you are now after the new dynasty is established? More benefits?"

Zhu Youxiao's words were heart-wrenching. The Ming Dynasty treated these nobles very well. Not only did they have a good salary, but their status was also very noble. Compared with those scholars who took ten years of hard study and came out immediately after thousands of troops, they could be said to be born with a golden spoon in their mouths.

Logically speaking, these people should be the most loyal group of people to the Ming Dynasty, but now they are these people who are constantly digging for the Ming Dynasty, hoarding and bullying the market, and act like they will not give up until they dug up the Ming Dynasty, which also made Zhu Youxiao feel deeply disappointed.

At this time, an old man in his sixties in his python robe cried and said, "Your Majesty, the old man knows that what he has done over the years has disappointed Your Majesty, but Isn't it possible for me to have hundreds of people in the marquis's house, and the whole family spends a lot of money every day, so that they can do some small business to subsidize the household income. However, they were sealed off by Yang Feng. He was going to cut off the livelihood of the old man's family!"

“Woo woo woo woo…”

The old man started crying as he spoke. After he cried like this, the more than ten nobles around him all knelt on the ground and cried, as if they were about to collapse.

"You...you..."

Seeing an old man in his sixties crying like this for a grain store, Zhu Youxiao shook his head helplessly. He finally understood what Yang Feng said to him before. The nobles of the Ming Dynasty had degenerated into a group of borers who were eating and waiting to die, just like most of the gentry and wealthy businessmen in the local area. They only knew to ask for help from the court, but did not know how to repay the court. In the long run, the Ming Dynasty would eventually be dragged down by these borers.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao's eyes began to become stern. He looked at the old man in his sixties in front of him and said, "Marty Jianchang, your Marquis' Mansion has been deeply favored by the country for generations. The first Marquis of Jianchang also experienced the Jingshen with Emperor Chengzu. At that time, Emperor Chengzu praised your ancestors as rare generals of the Ming Dynasty. But what about now? If the first Marquis of Jianchang were aware of the knowledge of the first Marquis of Jianchang, and if he learned that his descendants' camp had fallen to make a living by running a rice shop, would he jump up?"

"And you!" Zhu Youxiao's sharp eyes turned to the nobles on the side, "Your ancestors are all people who have made great contributions to the state, and the court has also given you a hundred years of wealth as a reward. But if you are still so ungrateful and still so unscrupulous in digging the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, then I can only consider cutting off your title."

Zhu Youxiao's voice was not loud, but it was like a thunder passing by to these nobles, which shocked them all to jump up.

Why can these nobles be bullied and dominate the market in the capital without restraint, and do business with low and high sales? It is not because they are all staring at the titles of XX or XX. They are the most noble people in the name of the Ming Dynasty, and they are the same people as the country. As long as the Ming Dynasty exists for one day, they will be able to enjoy wealth forever.

But now, Zhu Youxiao’s intention is to cut off their title, which means that they will never enjoy the benefits of being superior to others from now on, and they will become civilians like those mud legs that they usually look down upon.

In an instant, everyone's faces turned pale instantly, and many people's bodies were trembling. The contemporary Jianchang Hou, who was in his sixties, even rolled his eyes and collapsed to the ground. For a moment, a burst of panic shouts and crying sounded in the entire hall.

If the crying of these people just now was still the same as playing, then the crying now was heart-wrenching. Once the title was gone, these people would immediately go from a nobleman to the most despised gangster they looked down upon in the past. This contrast is absolutely unbearable for ordinary people.

In front of the Marquis of Jianchang who was unconscious on the spot, Zhu Youxiao showed a look of disgust on his face. In fact, after the success of the Jingnan Dynasty, Zhu Di awarded the title of military generals who had made great contributions in order to leave a force that could compete with the civil servant group, but what he did not expect was that people would fall into depravity.

After the heroes of the first generation passed away, their descendants who were born with the golden spoon had no decisiveness and courage as their ancestors. They had long been destined to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, what they thought about every day was how to make money and enjoy themselves, and how to have the mood to compete with those civil officials who had real power.

Seeing that the Wuxun Group was too unsuccessful, the emperors of all generations had no choice but to support another group of people to fight with civil servants. These people were the so-called eunuch group.

Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath, turned to the eunuch behind him and said, "Wang Tiqian, read my decree!"

"Here!"

Wang Tiqian responded, stood up and took the imperial edict that had been prepared early from the small eunuch behind him and said loudly: "The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, the imperial edict said: Zhu Chunchen, Duke Chengguo, was arrogant and unlawful, attempted to manipulate the price of grain in the capital and make a fortune in the national crisis. He openly violated the orders of the court. He hereby eliminated the title of Duke Chengguo's lineage, and all Zhu Chunchen's lineage was demoted to common people. All the Duke Chengguo's lineage moved out of Duke Chengguo's mansion within three days! I'm honoring this!"

"Crazy..."

Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar. Zhu Youxiao had just said that he would consider cutting off some people's titles. As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his butcher knife, and everyone could see clearly. This imperial edict was just prepared, which means that Zhu Youxiao had made the decision to eliminate Zhu Chunchen's title before.

When everyone thought that the title that Zhu Chunchen's lineage had been passed down for nearly two hundred years had disappeared, a chill surged in their hearts. For the first time, they felt that the title left by their ancestors, who were of the same relative as the country, seemed not so stable.

After reading the decree, Wang Tigan looked at the earth-like nobles in front of him, and felt a sense of pleasure. As the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor, Wang Tigan can be said to be of high power on weekdays. Even the ministers in the court were polite when they saw him, because these ministers still had to rely on his eunuch in charge of the seal of the red hand.

But these nobles are different. These nobles who have long been unmotivated always look contemptuous to them, such eunuchs, which also made Wang Tigan feel angry. Now, once these people lose the skin they gave them by their ancestors, these people may not even be as good as the civilians in Beijing.

"Wang Titan..." Zhu Youxiao's voice sounded beside him.

Wang Tigan, who was startled, quickly bowed and said, "Go back to the emperor, I am here!"

Zhu Youxiao said lightly: "Print an order!"

"Here!"

Wang Tigan quickly waved his hand, and the two little eunuchs quickly carried a small table and placed it next to them, laying the pen, ink, paper and ink. Wang Tigan then sat cross-legged on the ground and picked up the brush and looked at Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao sneered and looked at the nobles kneeling in front of him, and said without hesitation: "King of Jianchang Marquis Jishen, Marquis of Yongning Marquis Lu Kuanliang, Marquis of Fengxian Marquis Yao Guangkuan... Zhongxin Bo Jiao Li'an and others have many illegal laws on weekdays, and now they do not respect the imperial court's laws and hoard goods without authorization, causing trouble to the capital. Now all these people have been reduced to one level, I am here!"

"Dong..." After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, King Jishen, who had just woken up, rolled his eyes and leaned back. Then someone shouted loudly: "Come on, Marquis Jianchang fainted again..."

No one paid attention to the Ganqing Palace, which became chaotic, and Zhu Youxiao cut off the title of Cheng Duke's lineage and doubled the news that all the nobles behind the grain shops who followed the trend and raised the grain prices by two times soon spread throughout the capital.

Not only that, the next day, Pravda also reported the detailed process of this incident. The entire Beijing city was sensational. While people were surprised that Zhu Youxiao was so decisive, they also had a deep taboo on Yang Feng who was jealous of the grievances. As soon as Zhu Chunchen refuted his face, he arrested Zhu Chunchen and eliminated his title. This was even more uncomfortable than killing Zhu Chunchen.

Under Yang Feng's almost unreasonable strong pressure and Zhu Youxiao's tough attitude, the trend of food price increases was quickly suppressed. The officials who were originally watching secretly quickly put away the little thoughts and honestly began to build temporary housing outside the city to resettle victims according to the orders of the court. Yang Feng purchased a large amount of grain from the grain merchants at a fair price to help the victims. More than half a month later, the explosion storm of the gunpowder factory that shocked the capital slowly subsided.

Just as the civil and military officials in the court breathed a sigh of relief, they suddenly sent a letter of 600 miles to the cabinet, and then soon appeared on Zhu Youxiao's Dragon Case.

Zhu Youxiao was frowning after seeing the 600-mile rush. It turned out that this year, a severe drought occurred in southern Fujian, with the wild soil everywhere, and many villages even had grassroots and barks eaten up.

A pirate led by Zheng Zhilong took advantage of this opportunity to lead a fleet to attack Zhangpu, Fujian, rob Kinmen, Zhongzuosuo (now Xiamen), Jinghai, Jiazi, Guangdong and other places. Soon after, he returned to Fujian, invaded Quanzhou and Xiamen again, attacked Tongshan (Dongshan), captured the old town, defeated the Kinmen guerrilla Lu Yuying, and the Fujian general Yu Zigao's advance to attack, traverse the southeast sea, and was invincible. The officers and soldiers were exhausted and could not do anything.

Fujian Governor Xia Dayan had no choice but to report the situation in Fujian to the court truthfully and requested the court to send troops to wipe out the pirates as soon as possible.

After receiving the 600-mile expedition, Zhu Youxiao did not dare to neglect and was grateful to call the cabinet to discuss.

Zhu Youxiao's face looked very bad. Things in the capital had just calmed down, and now there was a big chaos in Xiamen. How could he be happy? He said in a deep voice: "You guys, Fujian has a rebellion, but Fujian soldiers were even defeated. Xia Dayan had no choice but to ask the court for help. I wonder what good strategies do you have?"

Gu Bingqian pondered for a while before saying, "Your Majesty, this matter should not be delayed for a long time. You need to send a capable general and a strong general to quickly wipe out the pirates. Otherwise, if this pirates become a climate, there will be endless troubles."

Zhu Youxiao agreed: "Georg Gu's words are indeed the old saying of the country, but I don't know who to lead the overall situation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Liji stood up and bowed to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, I recommend one person. This person is extremely brave and brave enough to fight. It is definitely no problem to defeat a mere Zheng Zhilong."

Zhu Youxiao was slightly stunned. He had already guessed who Huang Liji was talking about. Sure enough, he heard Huang Liji speak: "The person I am talking about is Yang Feng, Jiangning Bo. Jiangning Bo has been through the battlefield for a long time, and even Jiannu is his defeated general. It is naturally no problem to deal with a mere pirate."

Although he knew that Huang Liji recommended Yang Feng to Fujian because he was unhappy, Zhu Youxiao could not say anything against him. After all, Yang Feng is brave and famous now. Who doesn’t know that Yang Feng is very powerful in war?

"Your Majesty, I will discuss it!"

After Huang Liji finished speaking, Gu Bingqian and several other cabinet masters looked at each other and expressed their support.

Seeing everyone's eyes looking at him, Zhu Youxiao smiled bitterly. Yang Feng had been busy with disaster relief for most of the past half month, and he didn't even sleep a lot. Now he is going to send him to Fujian to wipe out pirates. This is too unkind.

Seeing Zhu Youxiao's hesitation, Huang Lijisheng was afraid that his boss would disagree and quickly said, "Your Majesty, the situation in Fujian is critical. If you don't send a capable general to you, you may be decayed in Fujian."

When Zhu Youxiao heard Huang Liji's words, he was moved. He knew that Huang was selfish immediately, but his words were correct. If people were not sent to quell the rebellion of the pirates as soon as possible, then Fujian would be in danger of destruction.
