The Jiaodong Saltworks is in Shandong, and King Ning's fiefdom is in Daning.
They are thousands of miles apart, and there are many cities along the road, so there are countless checks. And salt is a contraband that the imperial court only allows to be sold exclusively.
Under this situation, we can still transport 50,000 kilograms of salt. It can only be said that we are very capable!
Li Jinglong leaned over anxiously, only to hear Zhu Yunxi utter two words coldly, "Give it to him!"
"I understand, I will meet those Shanxi businessmen again soon!" Li Jinglong said immediately, "I also want to test their words and see if there is anyone else behind them besides Prince Ning!" He said and smiled.
, "In the territory of Ming Dynasty, 50,000 kilograms of salt are on the road, and you dare to boast that you can reach Daning from Haikou. You are really confident!"
Talking to smart people is simple. Because smart people often draw inferences from one instance to another, and even bring out things that the speaker had not thought of originally.
However, what Zhu Yunxi wanted was not just these.
"How can you tell me that the Jin Yiwei secret investigation will be clear!" Zhu Yunxi squinted his eyes and whispered, "Give them salt and let them transport. I want to see how many officials will say hello to them along the way?"
"The case!"
Li Jinglong was suddenly shocked, how could he not understand the meaning of the emperor's grandson's words.
Selling illegal salt is a capital crime, and at the same time allowing illegal salt to cross the border is a breach of responsibility at best, and the same crime at worst. All officials involved must be found.
No one dares to care about the vassal princes' mischief. He is the son of the old prince. The royal guards are all over the world, but the old man still turns a blind eye to his own sons.
He, Li Jinglong, knew something inside. In the early years, the old man was so angry that he wanted to kill several of his shameless sons more than once. But in the end, he just raised it high and put it down gently. He cursed a few times and hit him twice.
.
Tiger poison does not eat its seeds!
In fact, 50,000 kilograms of illicit salt sounds appalling, but it is actually not a big deal.
Then why is the emperor's grandson so angry?
"Network!"
Li Jinglong thought about it for a while, and his heart became clear.
Judging from the prices the merchants offered and the way they spoke and acted, it was obvious that this was not their first time doing this kind of thing. What is even more scary behind the illegal salt trade is that they can bribe officials along the way.
As His Highness said, fifty thousand kilograms of salt is nothing. What about the weapons and equipment of fifty thousand men?
"There is something strange in Gu Xin!" Zhu Yunxi sneered again, "Everyone in the court knows that you are from Gudong Palace. There are obviously so many places in the world where you can buy salt. Why are they looking for you?"
After saying that, Zhu Yunxi looked at Li Jinglong and continued to smile, "Are they afraid that they will not know? Or do you think that as long as you can see money, you will forget who the master is?"
Suddenly, Li Jinglong was frightened and trembled, and quickly said, "I have also thought about this matter! I also asked about it. But those businessmen said that they had bought salt at the Jiaodong Salt Farm earlier. Later, I bought it directly.
There are several salt farms, and for a while they couldn’t find any other suitable outlet, so they could only buy it here!”
"So it's just a coincidence?" Zhu Yunxi sneered.
"I have to say something inappropriate!" Seeing that this answer did not satisfy Zhu Yunxi, Li Jinglong hurriedly said, "You must also know a little bit about Prince Ning's temper. I am bold, and there is nothing in the world that can make him scruple.
Probably..."
"Maybe he thinks that even if Gu knows about it, he will still accommodate him?" Zhu Yunxi said angrily, "Why should Gu tolerate him?"
These uncles are really not fuel efficient.
Except for King Yan on the surface, few of the remaining people are careless.
Historically, King Ning was carelessly coerced by Zhu Di and lost the military power of Duoyan's three guards and the border town. But Zhu Yunxi knew clearly in his heart that if it were not for his own approval of military power, the arrogant and powerful generals under his command would have
Listen to Yan Fan?
Among the princes, King Ning joined the feudal vassal at the age of thirteen and led the army in the border battles at the age of fifteen. Although he is a bit arrogant and has the temper of a child, he is not the kind of playboy who knows nothing. He knows the army and is better at running it.
.
The young prince is arrogant and arrogant. He is also proficient in literary affairs and pays attention to farming. If not for this, how could the old man trust him so much!
Li Jinglong did not dare to speak anymore and just followed Zhu Yunxi's carriage silently.
"Have you been to Daning?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.
Li Jinglong said slowly, "When I was young, I trained with my father and lived in Daning for a few days. Daning is connected to Liaozuo in the east and Xuanfu in the west. It is a big town in the world. King Ning has 80,000 soldiers. Every autumn, he will command the three armies.
He captured and frightened the barbarians in Mobei, and his soldiers were all elite warriors with bows, horses, tigers and wolves..."
"Strengthen the feudal lord!"
While listening to Li Jinglong's words, Zhu Yunxi thought to himself.
The geographical location of King Ning's fiefdom is more dangerous than that of King Yan and others, and the troops and horses under his command can also be called the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty. If there is a comparison, I am afraid that the troops of King Qin and King Jin are not as good as his.
Among the kings, the ones Zhu Yunxi was most familiar with were his two uncles, King Yan, and King Ning.
Yes, and that King Huai!
Zhu Yunxi really didn't have much contact with the other princes and princes. But what is certain is that, even though he, the emperor's grandson, has a strong foundation and a strong personality, he may not care much about the saying that the sky is high and the emperor is far away.
So what about your grandson? Anyway, I am an iron-clad hereditary prince, with soldiers and a fiefdom!
And before the old man........., due to the old man's kindness, I couldn't do anything to them.
Not to mention Zhu Yunxi, the prince Zhu Biao also treated these younger brothers in the same way.
It won't work if you say it lightly, but if you say it seriously, I'll hate you in my heart!
Wait, Zhu Yunxi seemed to have caught something.
He leaned against the car, slowly closed his eyes, and thought in his mind, "If Prince Ning is really punished because of the secret affair, then there will be another potential enemy. Who will benefit?"
"Who would most like to see me become known as mean and unkind among the kings?"
"Who wants to see me most? I am not on good terms with the kings?"
"I have just taken charge of the country, and I am not yet the emperor, so I am going to take action against my uncle. Then will others say that when I actually ascend the throne, will they still have a way to survive?"
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxi sneered again.
"But you also underestimated me!"
"Moreover, there are many Hu warriors under King Ning's command!" Li Jinglong still said outside the car window, "The powerful grassland troops come and go like the wind..."
"Old Li!" Zhu Yunxi suddenly said.
"Your Majesty!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled gently at him and said, "I can't make up my mind about something alone. If this kind of matter is handled impartially, I'm afraid it will hurt the royal family's face. But if it is not handled, it will violate the national law. You say,
Is it going to be done well or not?"
"This..." Li Jinglong couldn't answer the question.
"What do you think my father would do if he were alive?" Zhu Yunxi continued.
Li Jinglong whispered, "This is not the first time that vassal princes and others have done this kind of thing. Salt and iron tea cloths are often sold privately. When His Highness the Crown Prince was here, such things were usually done by ministers at court meetings.
Write a letter directly to the Emperor and initiate impeachment. Then, when the Emperor is furious, the Prince will intervene again."
"In this way, none of the officials who secretly helped the prince to do things and were bribed by unscrupulous businessmen can escape. Secondly, the face of the princes can be saved. Privately, many princes are grateful to His Highness the Crown Prince...
....."
As he spoke, Li Jinglong suddenly couldn't speak any more.
I was even more shocked, "It's broken!"
He raised his head slightly and saw Zhu Yunxi looking at him with a half-smile.
"Father's method is good. It not only saves the face of his family, but also preserves the laws of the country!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "The most important thing is that not only will he not be hated by others, but he will also be owed a lot of favors!"
With that said, Zhu Yunxi said to Li Jinglong, "This time, regarding Prince Ning's matter, Gu Ye will learn from his father. But for this impeachment, who do you think we should use?"
