Outside the Yanshan Palace, Emperor Chengwu and his entourage were slowly coming towards the capital. Regarding what happened in the capital today, Emperor Chengwu had not yet received any news. Anzi who had not arrived at the sticky pole did not report it in time, because they did not report it in time.
He knew exactly what happened to the queen and the imperial concubine in the Security Court. However, Mu Qi found out that Zhu Tianjiang had used a group of secret agents, and he was very worried about this situation. Although Mu Qi knew that Zhu Tianjiang was also
He had no choice but to use the hidden person, but such a move would inevitably not be noticed by other informants.
A storm was resolved by Zhu Tianjiang with strong tactics. The queen and concubine did not expect that Zhu Tianjiang would be so bold and actually wanted to strip them naked and parade them in public. The queen and Concubine E did not dare to say such things, even if Zhu Tianjiang
They would be put to death for committing treason, and they would also be thrown into the cold palace for insulting the royal family.
The queen would not tell what happened in the Security Court, but Zhu Tianjiang found someone to start spreading rumors. Of course, Zhu Daguan would not tell anything about humiliating the queen. He just ordered the gangsters who relied on their mouths to spread the news everywhere.
The Queen ordered a 'great achievement' to rob the silver.
As soon as the Queen left, the Security Procuratorate began to count the 'robbed' silver coins. After the count was completed, an account bookkeeper from the Security Procuratorate carefully presented a list.
Zhu Tianjiang looked at it for a long time and said, "Isn't it right? You only robbed less than 200,000 taels?"
The account book writer trembled when he heard this, "Sir, the total amount of money we pushed out is only 800,000 taels, which is a lot." The old man said to himself that Mr. Zhu is simply a prodigal, and he still paid 200,000 taels.
Too little.
Zhu Tianjiang curled his lips and said, "Change it and say that under the Queen's decree, the Security Procuratorate was robbed of a total of four million taels of official silver by the common people. I have to keep some pocket money for being paralyzed."
The account manager was startled and trembled. Good guy, isn't this blatant fraud? The Security Procuratorate is the yamen that supervises all officials in the world. I think the biggest corrupt official in the Dafeng Dynasty is our Security Procurator. The chief writer of the account book is not
If you dare to say more, go back and create a new list of people who were robbed.
After the queen and Concubine E returned to the palace, they could not swallow their bad breath. In their opinion, if they did not kill the shameless thief Zhu Tianjiang today, they would not be able to establish the queen among the officials in the future.
authority.
The people in the seemingly peaceful Dafeng Capital would not know that a war of words between uncle and sister-in-law was taking place within the high walls of the palace.
The Queen exercised the power of the harem for the first time since the death of the old Queen Mother and mobilized the Royal Guards in the palace. Under normal circumstances, no one except Emperor Chengwu was allowed to mobilize the Imperial Guards. Even in the critical battle of the capital,
At this juncture, Emperor Chengwu did not even use this life-saving imperial guard. At that time, Emperor Chengwu also left a way out for himself. If the city gate really fell, this imperial guard could still protect him and break out of the enemy siege to preserve the city.
Feng's last hope.
According to the ancestral system, unless the emperor is not in the capital, the queen and the ministers who supervise the country have the right to mobilize the imperial guards. The queen also took advantage of this loophole to use the mysterious army of the Dafeng Dynasty.
Concubine E originally wanted Xuan Ming to lead Yi Zhi to arrest the people, but she also understood that Xuan Ming's personal troops were frightened by Zhu Tianjiang. Now that they have mobilized people from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, Master Chu Yun will not let them enter the city.
Besides, the emperor was about to drive back to the capital, and they didn't have much time left. The queen and Concubine E knew in their hearts that once Emperor Chengwu returned to the capital, he would definitely protect Zhu Tianjiang. Even if the queen and Concubine E complained, they couldn't say anything.
Because of the humiliation in the Security Procuratorate, Emperor Chengwu had no reason to punish Zhu Tianjiang with death.
How could the mobilization of troops and horses in the imperial city be hidden from Prince Jing's eyes? Even if Zhu Yi didn't come to inform him, Prince Jing would not ignore such a big matter.
"Sister-in-law, as the minister overseeing the country, I have the right to stop you from using the imperial guards." Prince Jing held the king's whip and said reluctantly.
The queen hated her so much. In the past, this brother-in-law didn't participate in anything except raising flowers and walking birds. When did he become so diligent in managing things?
"Prince Jing, Zhu Tianjiang has rebelled against me and Concubine E. Are you going to disregard my royal family's face?"
"Sister-in-law of the emperor, can you tell me what makes Zhu Tianjiang worthy of using the imperial guards? Even if this kid doesn't understand etiquette, can't he wait until the emperor comes to deal with it?"
Prince Jing was also a little angry. He felt that the Queen and Concubine E were simply supporting Xuan Ming and deliberately causing trouble.
"Hmph! You beat the guards of the East Palace in front of me. If I don't personally punish such an official, how can I have the face to show my respect to the world?" The queen's face turned a little blue with anger.
"Sister-in-law, there should be more than a dozen of your escorts, right?" Prince Jing suddenly asked.
"Yes, there were a total of fifteen guards accompanying us. Within a few breaths, they were injured by the traitors from the Security Procuratorate. They were simply planning to rebel."
Prince Jing curled his lips and said, "Sister-in-law, there is something I don't understand. The guards of the East Palace are all the best ones, not to mention the ability to fight one against a hundred, or at least one against ten. Little Ancha
There are less than 300 people in the hospital, so we can't even include Zhu Tianjiang, Inspector General, Accounting Book and others. As far as I know, the Security Procuratorate's current bank vault is full, and there are more than 200 officials responsible for guarding the bank bank.
There are less than fifty officials, officials and miscellaneous people left. Is it possible that the Security Council is a martial arts holy land and even the tea maker is headed by a faction?"
Although Prince Jing said this, he was also wondering in his heart. He didn't understand what kind of people Zhu Tianjiang had brought together. Although the eldest prince's personal soldiers were tough, they basically had no training in kung fu and were not good at close combat. They were defeated.
It's understandable that Zhu Tian has fallen to the ground. Who are the guards of the East Palace? Prince Jing's mind is like a mirror. He can take down fifteen of the imperial guards in just a few breaths. This is too damn powerful. Prince Jing has them all.
I thought about asking Zhu Tianjiang how many people he wanted to protect him.
The Queen's face turned red and white when she was choked by King Jing. She couldn't argue with this kind of thing. It would be like saying that the East Palace has a bunch of idiots. However, the Queen was a little confused after hearing what King Jing said. There were more than fifty people in the scene at that time.
, according to the Queen's visual inspection, there were definitely no less than 200 people. Moreover, according to what the injured guard said, one of the masked men was very good at martial arts, and they basically lost to that man.
"Prince Jing, no matter how much you object, this palace has decided to send troops." After the queen finished speaking, she shouted to the assembled imperial guards, "Commander Zuo, I order you to leave the palace immediately and arrest Zhu Tian.
drop."
Zuo Biao, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, looked at Prince Jing a little embarrassed and could only answer bravely, "I will obey the order."
Next to Zuo Biao, there was an East Palace eunuch standing. This eunuch had the Queen's decree hidden in his sleeves. When he arrived at the Security Procuratorate, he would read out the decree and order Zuo Biao to kill Zhu Tianjiang on the spot. Since the Queen used it
The Imperial Guard had no intention of keeping Zhu Tianjiang alive.
Prince Jing glared, "Zuo Biao, I am the Minister of Supervision of the Country by Holy Order. I order you not to leave the palace until the Emperor returns to the capital."
Zuo Biao knew that Prince Jing and the Queen were at loggerheads, and he had to listen to both sides, so he had no choice but to reply, "Zuo Biao has an order!"
"Prince Jing, do you still see me as the emperor's sister-in-law in your eyes?" The queen was so angry that she wished she could bite Prince Jing to death.
"Sister-in-law, please put the world first. Everything Zhu Tianjiang did was for our Dafeng Dynasty."
"Hmph! Don't do this. I have heard a long time ago that your beautiful girl has a close relationship with the traitor Zhu Tianjiang. You are deliberately favoring him."
At the mention of his Yu'er, Prince Jing was completely angered. He whipped the king's whip and slammed it on the ground, "Emperor's sister-in-law, don't talk about me either. You are looking for trouble for Zhu Tianjiang because of Xuan Can and Xuan Ming, aren't you?
.If Zhu Tianjiang supports Xuan Can, I think you can praise him to heaven!"
On one side was the queen and the concubine, on the other was the unruly prince, and no one in the palace dared to take care of them. The two groups were quarreling in the palace, but the Security Council was even more lively than them.
The empress returned in defeat, and the officials following Xuan Ming and Xuan Can did not dare to delay any longer, and tried their best to deliver money to the Security Procuratorate, fearing that they would be troubled by Zhu Tianjiang if they fell behind. Now the image of Zhu Daguan is posted on
The door can ward off evil spirits, making people afraid of others and hiding from ghosts.
After all the officials in the capital took action, Zhu Tianjiang realized why the poor people in the Dafeng Dynasty could not even afford military pay. It was because the poor officials and rich people of the country were struggling to make a living, and even the money they got was swallowed up by this group of corrupt officials.
"Zhu Yi, how much has been collected so far?" Zhu Tianjiang looked at the carts of money being sent to the backyard. He had not forgotten his agreement with Emperor Cheng Wu.
"Sir, 23 million taels have been stored in the warehouse now. According to the queue outside, 30 million is certain." Zhu Yi said excitedly.
Zhu Tianjiang couldn't help but sighed, "What a shame, back then the wealth of Heshen's mansion could last the Qing Dynasty for twenty years. If the houses of all the officials of the Dafeng Dynasty were ransacked, they wouldn't need to take in anything for at least ten years.
Taxes.”
Zhu Yi was stunned when he heard this, "Sir, what are you talking about? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"Oh, it happened a long time ago. There is no record in the history of Dafeng Dynasty." Zhu Tianjiang said, walked out of the lobby and looked at the sky. He felt that Emperor Chengwu should be back at this time.
"Zhu Er, immediately inform Mr. Chu Yun and send another army to protect Kuyin. There must be no mistakes. Xia Qing, you are in charge of government affairs at home. Some guys must have hidden a lot. We will have to beat them back later.
"Zhu Yi, prepare the car and come with me to meet him." Zhu Tianjiang gave the order and prepared to leave the city first to "complain", leaving the queen speechless.
In the residence of Xuan Can, the second prince in the capital, Xuan Can was sitting in the study, analyzing an unexpected happy event with his most capable cronies. Just an hour ago, someone shot an arrow at Xuan Can's residence and sent a strange letter
of letters.
Xuan Can is worried about Zhu Tianjiang's extortion of official silver. It seems that his people can't stand it anymore. The queen can't even protect Wang Yuliang, let alone the officials under her who have no relatives. If Zhu Tianjiang wins this time
, the prestige of the fourth prince Xuanzhu will soon rise. The old queen mother returns to the west, and according to the ancestral system, a crown prince will be established after the funeral. Xuan Can is worried that his father will give the crown prince to Xuanzhu because of Zhu Tianjiang's support.
The queen has warned Xuan Can that he is not allowed to come forward directly on the issue of Zhu Tianjiang. Xuan Ming's defeat has caused many officials to start looking out. The queen does not want her son to face Zhu Tianjiang in person. In this case, regardless of winning or losing,
Xuan Can can be protected from being implicated.
Just when Xuan Can was at his wits' end, this unexpected letter surprised him. Because in this letter, he not only reported Zhu Tianjiang's private soldiers, but also circled several hidden locations in the city.
Zhu Tianjiang did not expect that he would be followed by the ghost doctor Zhuo Xing after he asked Zhu Si and his men to pretend to be common people and rob official silver. This time Zhuo Xing took several experts to go out in person, and finally he found out where Zhu Si and others were gathering.
.
Zhuo Xing was overjoyed and wanted to use the help of the second prince Xuan Can to force Zhu Tianjiang to rebel in the capital. No matter who wins or loses, it will be a catastrophe for the Dafeng Dynasty. In that case, Emperor Chengwu will never have a chance to annihilate him.
The uncle of the country.
Zhuo Xing knew that as long as he gave Uncle Guo a year to recover, he could launch his troops again and march south to re-establish a new dynasty!
