Chapter 327: The consequences of assassinating the grandson
Zhu Yuanzhang's words were deafening.
Emperors, from ancient times to the present, have always been lonely.
Do whatever you want, no taboos.
It seems that some shackles have been broken in Zhu Ying's heart. Only now can he truly let go of some things from his previous life.
This is the Ming Dynasty, and he is Taisun. In the near future, he will be the supreme master of the Ming Dynasty.
Not everyone is born to be an emperor.
At this moment, Zhu Ying truly understood.
After coming out of Qianqing Palace, Zhu Ying's temperament has changed slightly, becoming more domineering.
During dinner time in the afternoon, Ye Yueqing returned to the palace after going out.
"Your Highness, there seems to be some problems with Duke Liang." Ye Yueqing said softly from the side.
When the grandfather and grandson were talking in the morning, Ye Yueqing watched the whole process.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not let him avoid it. After all, he was his future grandson-in-law. Moreover, in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, this grandson-in-law was not bad. In many ways, she looked like a big girl.
"Don't you think Liang Guogong understands the matter of cracking down on crime and eradicating evil?" Zhu Ying asked.
Ye Yueqing replied: "That's not the case. Today, Liang Guogong summoned all the soldiers and horses of the five cities to patrol and carry out strict arrests. However, many innocent people were arrested, including many people from our chamber of commerce. Caught in."
"Nonsense!" Zhu Ying frowned and shouted coldly.
"Have you ever found out the specific reason?"
Ye Yueqing said: "The status of patrol officers is low, and there is a mixed bag of good and bad. They have colluded with most gangs in the capital. Many patrol officers are even members of gangs themselves. After the arrest operation started, it was natural to fish in troubled waters and arrest people to fill up the numbers."
Yesterday Zhu Ying asked Lan Yu to take action to purge the capital.
In fact, I had already expected that something like this would happen, and had warned Lan Yu in advance.
It's just that even the people from my own chamber of commerce are caught in the trap, which is really a shame.
It goes without saying that these despicable methods were jointly carried out by many chambers of commerce and gangs.
The salary of a patrol officer is not high, and most of them rely on the contributions of various gangs, chambers of commerce, and many shops.
This is how you can maintain a decent life.
As a result of this action, the internal problems of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division suddenly broke out.
But this is also what Zhu Ying wants.
Purging the capital does not only refer to illegal gangs and chambers of commerce, but also includes the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division itself.
"Does Duke Liang know?" Zhu Ying thought for a moment and asked.
Ye Yueqing nodded and said: "I already know it. Now Liang Guozheng is having a headache because of this, and the entire operation has been temporarily stopped."
"Currently Liang Guogong is conducting an internal investigation."
Zhu Ying replied: "Let the people from the Chamber of Commerce be released first, inform the Jinyi Guards, and assist Liang Guogong in conducting an internal investigation. We must follow the clues and arrest the people behind the scenes. Anyone involved must not be let go."
"The Chamber of Commerce should collect enough intelligence and let Song Zhong lead the team. Anyone who goes against the Chamber of Commerce will be arrested and interrogated strictly."
"On the capital side, no one dares to oppose us, but in the local area, many wealthy gentry are too arrogant and collude with each other and local officials."
"Let the members of the local chamber of commerce collect more evidence of crime, and also inform Zhang San to deploy 3,000 people from the army to patrol the country and severely punish lawbreakers."
"I will order the public security departments in various places to cooperate and crack down on their arrogance."
At present, the situation in the capital is relatively good, and no one dares to really take the blame.
The trouble lies in the location.
Now that Zhu Ying has at his disposal, there are not many people at his disposal. For things like inspections, he naturally needs someone close to him.
In fact, Zhang San is not enough, but he can only use it first, and he must be shocked.
The key lies in the popularization of the law.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ying felt a little worried.
In the past few days, there has been almost no action on the revision of the Ming Dynasty laws. Not everyone can understand the laws.
The elaboration of some regulations is even more difficult.
Today's Ming Dynasty has no documents to refer to, but it has to formulate a completely new legal system.
In the previous life, Zhu Ying also seemed to understand the law but was not proficient in it. He was one of those people who could only see and do things.
You can't do it yourself, but you can still see clearly whether what others have done is OK.
At this time, Zhu Ying was worried about this, and the chambers of commerce who were secretly controlling it were even more nervous and frightened.
In a certain alley in the capital.
A group of people gathered together.
These people are all the bosses behind various gangs and chambers of commerce.
There are new generations, and there are also established forces left over from the pre-Yuan period.
A group of them were even immigrated by Zhu Yuanzhang from the Jiangnan area.
This group of immigrants from the south of the Yangtze River had a high hatred for the Ming Dynasty, and they were forcibly immigrated by Zhu Yuanzhang. Many wealthy families were reduced to poverty and became poor in the capital.
They are the biggest leaders in this incident.
Anything that goes against Ming Dynasty will never lack their participation.
"The latest news is that the Jinyi Guards have been dispatched. All the officials who have submitted reports will be arrested and brought to the capital for interrogation. Let's see what to do. With the cruel methods of this dog emperor, I am afraid that most of them will be executed and exiled."
An old man with white hair said with a gloomy face.
He was once the patriarch of a large Jiangnan clan. Due to the migration, the clan was ruined, and he hated the Ming Dynasty deeply.
He is always thinking about causing trouble for the Ming Dynasty.
"I have said long ago that although His Majesty's temperament has improved a lot in recent times, how can a tiger be a sick cat if he doesn't show off his power? Other things are fine. This all involves the present grandson, and he will definitely be furious."
"In my opinion, most of the arrested officials are unlikely to survive. If they don't implicate their families, that would be considered good."
A strong man said with a sneer.
However, his words of "Your Majesty" caused about half of the twenty-odd people to frown and look at him with unkind eyes.
Obviously the man has some power and turns a blind eye to these looks.
More than 800 officials, which cost almost everyone a lot of money, were able to accomplish this.
I used to think that there is power in numbers, and the law does not punish the masses.
In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang has not killed many people recently, and besides, they are all local officials, so they will not kill indiscriminately.
The result was unexpected, and people are now being arrested.
To be able to get the news so quickly, it is obvious that some of these people have some skills.
"It can't be like this. We need to notify them quickly. If they are caught, the implications are too wide. If they are held on like the Guo Heng case, it will be a heinous case." One of them said anxiously.
Everyone immediately started talking.
"What's the use of notification? Where can I escape? Who can survive these many obstacles alone?"
"What if I don't run away? I'm just waiting to die. Once I'm confessed, who can get me back?"
"The Qunying Chamber of Commerce has gone too far to bully others. If we don't take measures, we will have no place to stand in this Ming Dynasty. We will all be waiting to perish."
"The rabbit jumped over the wall when it was in a hurry. How about a fight to the death? Isn't this great grandson highly regarded by the dog emperor? I heard that this great grandson often comes in and out of the palace. How about arranging some dead soldiers to assassinate him. If you want this dog
The emperor will cut off his descendants!!!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall suddenly fell silent.
Even the sound of breathing became so obvious that everyone suddenly looked at each other in confusion.
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, although many people hated Zhu Yuanzhang, no one ever mentioned the assassination.
The first is Jin Yiwei.
The Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty weaved a dense network of intelligence. Let alone taking action on such matters, basically if you bring it up, the Jin Yiwei will get the information in advance and never arrest you.
The second is that although Zhu Yuanzhang killed many people, these were officials, not ordinary people.
Although some of the lives of the relocated wealthy households in Jiangnan are indeed not as smooth as before, most of them can still survive.
Among the common people at the bottom, Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige is not small.
Assassinations are usually carried out by so-called heroes. Without any personal martial arts, they cannot complete the assassination task.
And the so-called heroes in the world all want fame.
With Zhu Yuanzhang's reputation, no hero would be willing to take action.
The most important thing is Zhu Yuanzhang's merits.
To pacify the Central Plains, expel the Yuan Dynasty, and recreate China, these are the hot topics of the storytellers in the teahouses. Even the common people who are illiterate are talking about Zhu Yuanzhang's goodness in their hearts.
Even those who hate Zhu Yuanzhang deeply have to admit Zhu Yuanzhang's achievements.
It was the old man who first proposed the assassination of the man.
Seeing everyone's reaction, the old man continued without hesitation: "The great-grandson is just a young boy, so he has no abilities at all. Although he is often protected by guards in brocade, there are always a few times when he goes alone."
"Speaking of which, I still know a little about him. When the Ping An Tea House first opened, I went to support him and looked at his face, but he looked like a penniless scholar."
"As long as we hide in that teahouse, as long as there are three or five heroes, we can easily complete this matter.",
Listening to the old man's impassioned narration, few people bought it.
Don't say whether it will work or not, if we really take action, I'm afraid the streets of the capital will be dyed red.
If the current Saint, a butcher-like figure, has even the slightest involvement, all the nine tribes will be destroyed, let alone human beings. It is estimated that all the chickens and ducks raised in the house will be beheaded.
This time the conversation ended hastily because the old man suggested assassinating the grandson.
When everyone left, they were inexplicably nervous, and many people were even worried.
Jin Yiwei is in the capital, and he is not someone to be trifled with. If he is not protected, someone will secretly communicate with Jin Yiwei and find out what happened today.
Once it is related to the assassination, there is no way to survive.
The old man from before left with a look of resentment on his face. He didn't expect that at this time, everyone was still holding on to luck.
He took a few men from the clan back to the house, cursing all the way.
However, just as others were worried, the old man entered the house with his front legs, and hundreds of knights in royal robes appeared on the back legs, surrounding the house.
