At this time, Shen Qingyu thought about it and started talking about another thing:
"Your Majesty, now that the ban on the city has been lifted, will the defense of the capital be handed over to Shuntian Prefecture?"
The original Yin of Shuntian Prefecture was arrested by the Jinyi Guards and sent to the prison because of suspicion. Later, although nothing was found, he was guilty of negligence to some extent, so he was replaced.
The new Shuntian Prefecture Yin was promoted from the original Donggong family and was very loyal.
Zhu Gaojie was thinking about this matter. He knew that always relying on the Jinyi Guards and the army to control public security was not a long-term solution. He had to leave it to the hands of Shuntian Prefecture and the Wucheng Army and Horses Division.
Therefore, he nodded and expressed his approval:
"The fifth military camp can retreat to the camp outside the city and take a short rest."
"The Jin Yiwei has reduced its size and carried out rotation, so that most of the security and defense in the capital city can be handed over."
"The Shuntian Prefecture, the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, and the Imperial Guard will be responsible."
"Qingyu, I asked you to keep an eye on the Kong family. What's the situation now?"
Shen Qingyu began to report:
"The Kong family has been very quiet recently. I sent several waves of people to inquire but there was no news. I am afraid that I have heightened my vigilance."
"But secretly, we still found out that several families have dealings with the Kong family. But now they are very cautious and wary of outsiders, so we haven't been able to find any evidence."
"I have sent more capable people to monitor the Kong family and other families around the clock. As soon as there is news, there will be immediate reports."
Zhu Gaojie's eyebrows suddenly raised:
"Huh? These people are so smart that they have begun to have this kind of intelligence awareness?"
But this just proves that the Kong family, as well as these big families in the North, are discussing and planning something big behind the scenes.
Otherwise, why be so cautious?
Even Jin Yiwei couldn't find anything for a while!
"You still have to speed up the process."
Zhu Gaojie never underestimates any opponent or enemy. Now that he knows that these people are secretly up to something, he will naturally not underestimate the enemy. He will use all his strength to fight a lion against a rabbit, not to mention that what he has to deal with is a person with huge reputation and strong strength.
The Kong family in Qufu and the great families in the north cannot be careless in the slightest.
Otherwise, if the boat capsized in the gutter, wouldn't he be worse than the extremely embarrassing "Baozong"?
Why don’t future generations laugh to death? Just thinking about this situation makes people feel scared...
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaojie looked at Su Wu and ordered:
"Let Fengzi Camp send out three teams of troops, break them into pieces, and use military scouts to spread out on the roads outside the Kong family to intercept their messengers."
"Qingyu, please pick more people, let the Jin Yiwei move, and keep an eye on them all!"
"If you don't have enough manpower, ask Su Wu and ask the army to send some soldiers to help you."
"I have only one request. Don't be afraid of alerting others. We must find out what they are discussing and what they want to do!"
Su Wu and Shen Qingyu immediately accepted the order and said yes.
Now that Zhu Gaojie is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the status of the two of them has also increased. In addition to adding rewards to each other, they have also become aggressive in their external behavior.
Especially Shen Qingyu, who commanded the Jinyi Guards. Previously, he was somewhat hampered by the influence of various forces and was concerned about the criticism of the ministers of the DPRK. However, now Zhu Gaojie has first eliminated a large number of court officials, and then wants to attack the wealthy families.
, so he also made up his mind and prepared to start ruthless actions.
"Your Majesty, what are these families discussing with the Kong family? I will investigate them clearly in the next few days."
"But there are a few small families that do seem to have something wrong..."
"What's wrong?"
Shen Qingyu recalled the information she had just seen and said word by word:
"According to the reports from the spies below, it is said that in Yuzhou, Zhending, Cangzhou and other places, people are all quietly purchasing grain, beef tendons, ironware and other items. I didn't pay much attention to it at first. After all, I also know that some people have always liked it.
Hoarding and making some unscrupulous money..."
"But judging from the collected intelligence, something is not quite right. The number of secret acquisitions is too much and too accurate. They are all wartime reserves. Once a war breaks out,
It will come in handy immediately.”
"Besides, judging from this location, they are all scattered throughout the Northland, and they are doing it very secretly and carefully. Obviously they don't want outsiders to know. The people escorting them are all good people. Some spies took the risk to keep a close eye on them for a while, and they were almost caught.
He was treated as a bandit and a robber and killed on the spot!"
"Just looking at the manpower, materials, and geographical location, there is a murderous intention hidden in it!"
"So I infer that someone may have malicious intentions and try to do something rebellious!"
After Zhu Gaojie heard this, he immediately gritted his teeth:
"As expected! These thieves!"
"I still tolerate them too much!"
He was just guessing at first, but he found out that these people actually wanted to rebel!
Do you really think that your army of hundreds of thousands are all fake?
It has been more than thirty years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and I am already the third emperor. Why are there still people thinking about making Qianlong or rebelling against the king?
Zhu Gaojie was extremely speechless about this. He couldn't imitate anyone else. He had to imitate the original King of Han in his rebellion...
With just your private soldiers and Wu Bao, you are nothing compared to the elites of my three major battalions!
I'll bulldoze it for you in minutes, okay...
However, when he thought about it, rebellion always had a name. He had just ascended the throne, his reputation among the government and the public was not so good, and the methods he displayed were very vicious, so it was no wonder that these people took such desperate risks.
"Rebellion, these people want to rebel..."
Zhu Gaojie murmured to himself and suddenly smiled to himself:
"What age are we in, and you still like to engage in rebellion, so I can only take action on you guys first."
"Preach my will!"
"Order the Yu, Qi, and Jiang families to have their homes searched and questioned!"
"With the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and Jin Yiwei jointly interrogated to find out who was behind it!"
"Su Wu, order the Shenji Battalion to set off immediately. Except for the previously ordered team, the remaining troops will be divided into two to control the traffic arteries between Shandong and Henan. Anyone who encounters the Kong family or those other families will be captured!
"
"Fengziying took over all roads between Beizhili and Shanxi and acted accordingly."
"Anyone who appears to be acting suspiciously or has any unclear property will be captured and handed over to the Jinyi Guards for interrogation!"
After Zhu Gaojie finished speaking, he smiled coldly:
"Hmph, you want to rebel, right? I'll take action on you guys first!"
