Chapter 375 Rumors are spreading and we are discussing an expedition!
Not to mention that the King of Han was sneaky and planned to lure the wolf into the house.
In the capital, rumors of the Tatar invasion had already spread. Even the ordinary people who occasionally came to the city to purchase supplies began to become worried under the rumors.
After all, when the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty ruled the Central Plains decades ago, the people in the Central Plains had already suffered a lot due to their innate cruelty...
Now, although the Meng Yuan Dynasty has long been destroyed, the remaining Tatars can only show off their evil in the northern grasslands, but what if the imperial court cannot resist these foreign tribes?
Will these Tatars be allowed to invade the Central Plains again and repeat the old events of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty?
For a time, not only rumors spread in the capital, but also the entire north was under a dark cloud, and the people were panicked and uneasy.
"boom!"
Along with a dull sound, Yang Rong, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty cabinet, shouted angrily:
"Cui, how did you become the governor of Shuntian Prefecture!"
"You can't even suppress the rumors in the capital market!"
After being scolded by Yang Rong, the expression of Shuntian Mansion's governor changed slightly, but then he bent down to pick up the book and said slowly:
"Master Chief Assistant, the lower officials are just discussing the matter. Now, not only on the ground in the capital, but also within the jurisdiction of the entire Shuntian Prefecture, there are definite rumors that the Tatar troops are about to go south."
"The law does not punish everyone. I can't drag everyone back to jail. After all, it's hard to stop Yuyou's mouth."
Seeing him looking so lazy, Yang Rong suddenly became furious!
"As the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, can't you even handle this little thing? Then what use does the court want from you?"
On the side, Wang Zhi, the official secretary, frowned slightly, and a person behind him immediately stepped out and held his hand:
"Your Majesty, your words are wrong!"
"Cui Fuyin also said just now that the law does not punish the public. If we arrest ten today and twenty more tomorrow, can we stop the people from being suspicious and suspicious?"
"It is only right that we should confirm this matter quickly and then negotiate a solution!"
"What was agreed upon?"
Yang Rong glared angrily, "Don't think I don't know the little Jiujiu in your hearts!"
Do you want to take this opportunity to suppress the reputation of His Highness the Crown Prince?
Do you want to use the Tatar invasion to reduce the strength of His Highness the Crown Prince?
Don’t even think about it!
"The Tatar invasion was just a secret report from the front, which was deliberately leaked by some people to confuse the public and disturb the people's hearts."
"I think it's not the rumors that are scary, it's the people who deliberately cause them that are scary!"
Yang Rong looked around the audience with sharp eyes, an angry look on his face, and said angrily:
"If I find out who dares to do such a thing, I won't give you mercy!"
A group of officials in the meeting hall all had expressionless faces and did not respond.
Now that the situation is in front of us, it is useless for you as the chief minister to criticize, it is only right to see how you solve it.
"Haha." Yang Rong was about to continue to get angry, but was interrupted by Zhu Gaojie, who was in the middle, waving his hand.
"It's quite interesting to see this in isolation."
He narrowed his eyes and glanced around before saying calmly:
"Shen Qingyu."
Shen Qingyu immediately came out of the queue and responded loudly:
"The humble duty has arrived!"
Zhu Gaojie glanced at him and spoke slowly:
"Do you know why I asked you to take the position today?"
According to common sense, Shen Qingyu, as the commander of the Jinyi Guards, would not participate in such government affairs, but today was an exception.
Shen Qingyu was stunned for a moment. This was because he had been notified suddenly before and hurried over. Suddenly, he felt a little confused.
Your Highness, you didn’t give me any instructions in advance...
However, he reacted very quickly and immediately said:
"I don't know what my humble position is, but please give me your instructions, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Zhu Gaojie nodded with satisfaction, but his expression did not change, but he said lightly:
"Rumors are spreading everywhere in the capital, and the people are uneasy. Since Shuntian Prefecture Yin says that he is unable to do anything, then you, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, go and help him."
"I don't care what the law is, I don't blame the public. I don't care what you say. It doesn't matter what means you use. As long as you get this matter done within seven days, put an end to the rumors and stabilize the people's hearts."
"My Ming Dynasty has even driven away Meng Yuan, so why are we still afraid of a Tatar who has lost his family?"
"Shen Qingyu, do you understand?"
Shen Qingyu suddenly became excited and said loudly:
"Reporting to Your Highness, I will definitely handle this matter!"
Zhu Gaojie nodded, looked at Xia Rong again, and signaled him to continue the discussion.
Everyone else in the hall was immediately dumbfounded.
This, this, His Highness the Crown Prince has untied the mad dog Jin Yiwei and released him!
As we all know, Jin Yiwei is not a good man, and his methods of arrest and torture are countless times more brutal than those of Yamen arrests!
No matter what your life background is, as long as you fall into the hands of Jin Yiwei, you will probably not get any good results!
Cui Fuyin suddenly became anxious. He was not willing to let Jinyiwei intervene in the capital market. If that happened, wouldn't his Shuntian Mansion be in trouble?
How can the government servants and police officers compare with Jin Yiwei's gang of wolves and tigers?
If it happens to me at that time, do you still want this official uniform?
"His Royal Highness, your Majesty..."
"Okay," Zhu Gaojie waved his hand impatiently, interrupting his words, his face as dark as water:
"Didn't you say that you can't solve the rumors outside?"
"Then I'll send someone to help you!"
"Let this matter go, there is no need to mention it again!"
Seeing Zhu Gaojie's strong stance, Cui Fuyin was suddenly shocked. Could it be that he was targeting himself and others?
He quietly looked towards Wang Zhi with his eyes, only to find that the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs had no expression on his face, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart. His Highness the Crown Prince's methods were quite ruthless, so don't get yourself burned...
While he was thinking about how to get rid of the rumors, he suddenly heard Zhu Gaojie say:
"Nowadays, the news of the Tatar invasion is spreading like wildfire. I heard that not only Shuntian Prefecture, but also Xuanfu, Baoding Prefecture, and even Hejian Prefecture know about it."
"What do you want to do?"
Zhu Gaojie looked at everyone in the hall, strengthened his tone, and said coldly:
"This is because the Ming Dynasty is living an uneasy life, and you want to put some eye drops on the Ming Dynasty and stage a good show of Tatar counterattacks in the Central Plains, right?"
He slapped the armrest of the chair hard, making a heavy muffled sound:
"I am very unhappy in my lonely heart!"
"My father, the old man, is seriously ill, and the south is not peaceful. We should have made concerted efforts to stabilize the situation in the north."
"It's a good thing now. A mere Tatar has already caused turmoil in the entire north even before they come over!"
"Forget it, since you are so afraid of the Tatars, let's discuss today how to go out and how to fight!"
Zhu Gaojie looked around at everyone with firm eyes and a deep tone:
"I will destroy the Tatars and put an end to some people's desire to draw chestnuts from the fire!"
