When the lights first came on, three young guests ordered a table full of mutton restaurants on Gulou Street, Beicheng. The shop owner was so happy that he could not stop and rarely met such generous customers. But he never dreamed that these three guests were not only generous but also very noble. If he went out and took a look, he would find that there were many big men near the restaurant patrolling back and forth, with their eyes resemble eagles and implicit murderous aura.

"You are like being seen by outsiders, and you don't believe that this is from the Ming Dynasty..." Chang Yu couldn't help but smile as he looked at Princess Kunxing who was eating voraciously.

"Anyway, there are no outsiders, so I'm not afraid to see you." Princess Kunxing hummed, and Zhu Cilang was consuming. I don't know why the things in the restaurant outside were much better than those in the palace, but the people just thought that the food in the palace was the delicacies of the mountains and seas.

Chang Yu had a low appetite and had eaten briskly. He walked to the door of the store and stretched his waist. He looked up at the night sky and couldn't help but sigh: "The moon is so round today."

"You Dao is the 15th and 16th round" the store owner smiled and continued.

"Not that?" Chang Yu nodded and chatted with the store. The store was an honest person, but he also saw that the young man had an extraordinary temperament. He guessed that the eldest young master was, but he was so approachable, and he had a good impression of his heart and talked too much. He started chatting with Chang Yu with some family matters.

"Look at that guy, anyone can talk to you very much." Zhu Cilang, who was still eating in the sea, glanced at the door and gusted at Princess Kunxing. Kunxing turned his head and looked at him, chuckling, "So he is a good person, and everyone around him is close to him."

"But all the ministers in the court called him a villain," Zhu Cilang laughed and Kun Xing curled his lips: "So there are not many good people in the court, just because they scolded Chang Yu, which just means that Chang Yu is a good person. No matter how others say he is good or bad, he is really good to our family and the people."

"This is the truth." Zhu Cixuan looked at Chang Yu who was still chatting with the store at the door: "Which one do you think he looks like a eunuch, and what is he likes a powerful eunuch in the court and the other."

"He is not like a murderous devil, but everyone says he is a butcher," Kun Xing snorted.

Chang Yu, who was chatting with the store, saw a person walking hurriedly not far away, and then went forward: "Sir, the emperor summoned you into the palace." As he said that, he glanced at the store: "Your Highness and the others are..."

Chang Yu raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice: "Is there something wrong?"

"Eunuch Chun said that the emperor was angry..." The monk said in a low voice. At this time, the prince and his sister also came over. Chang Yu said, "Let's go back together." The prince nodded and glanced at the monk: "What's wrong?"

The monk looked at Chang Yu.

Chang Yu nodded: "Tell me."

"A few counties in Hebei sold grain privately, and there were bandits in Shandong gathering to rebel..."

"Selling grain in private? They dare to do this." Zhu Cilang was angry at once. Chang Yu pulled him and signaled him to get on the carriage.

"Why are they so bold?" Zhu Cilang was angry in the car!

Hebei, Shandong, and Henan have experienced war, drought, locust plagues and plagues in the past two years. People living in poverty through thousands of miles of land. At the end of last year, a great famine broke out. Chang Yu and the court worked hard to ask their grandfather to get disaster relief grain and distribute it to various prefectures and counties.

The inventory of all prefectures and counties has long been bottomed out. Now all are for the relief of disaster relief food. However, people do not expect that if they eat the courage of the bear heart and leopard, they will sell it to the grain store privately...

"This is actually a good thing," Chang Yu sighed.

"You actually said this is a good thing!" The prince was shocked!

"It is naturally a good thing to be found, but it is a bad thing to be found," Chang Yu smiled bitterly, and the prince was stunned and nodded: "It was found out from the East Factory!"

"It's not important. Whether it's the East Factory, the Jinyiwei, or the inspector's censor, as long as it can be found out, it's a good thing!" Chang Yu sighed slightly, and Zhu Ciyang said: "Anyone who does such bad things to kill his head will be careful when they are colluding up and down. It's really hard for ordinary people to find out, and it's hard for them to check."

"So, three groups of people went to investigate. I don't believe he could bribe all the way." Chang Yu sneered, and the prince suddenly realized: "You have been suspicious for a long time?"

"It's not suspicion, it's just that it's not surprising that something happens!" Chang Yu sighed: "If you can turn a blind eye all year round, but these days, I will kill whoever moves!"

"A recitation in troubled times!" the prince said viciously.

Emperor Chongzhen in the Ganqing Palace was furious: "Everyone escorted to Beijing immediately. Everyone said that after Qiu Hou asked for the execution, they were really good at killing them. They were all killed! I will investigate it clearly for me, but if anyone is involved, I will kill the nine clans!"

The emperor was hysterical, Chunxiang was trembling. This was the first time he saw the emperor so angry. At this moment, the palace gate was pushed open, and Chang Yu and the prince Zhu Cixuan walked in: "My son has met his father."

Emperor Chongzhen snorted and looked at Chang Yu: "Do you know everything?"

"I just learned it!" Chang Yu bowed.

"You always say that you should prevent trouble before it happens, but now this evil thing has been discovered for more than half a year. What should you say?" Emperor Chongzhen looked dark and Chang Yu quickly said: "I am responsible for being in a wrongful state of supervision, so please forgive me."

But I started to curse in my heart. You really think I am a god. You can clearly figure out everything with your fingers. Dongchang manages so many things and so many holes in the Ming Dynasty. How can I get it all in one go? Besides, if you talk about such illegal and irregular things, which one does not do is extremely secret. Can you tell me at a glance? Can it be found out at a glance? Which one does not need to be peeled off? It takes time to take it?

Emperor Chongzhen naturally knew this truth, but he was too angry and had to find a vent and glared at Chunxiang again: "Chang Yu has been dealing with military affairs outside all year round, and you are the internal affairs of the East Factory..."

"Emperor" Chang Yu interrupted him: "It's not too late to detect these borers in half a year, and this is a good news."

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned. Chang Yu rarely interrupted him, and he said that this was good news?

"Father, if this matter is found out, it is good news." Zhu Cixuan quickly echoed beside him. Emperor Chongzhen thought about something and took a deep breath for a while: "It is indeed good news!" He said that, looking at Chunxiang: "Be strict and serious, to serve as a warning to others."

"Slaves receive the order" Chun Xiang bowed. (Slaves do not specifically refer to maids, but are collectively referred to as men and women. Eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty called themselves slaves, eunuchs claimed to be ministers, and eunuchs claimed to be servants, and young men claimed to be slaves)

Chang Yu walked to Chunxiang and asked in a low voice: "How many have you checked?"

"There are three counties in Hebei, four counties in Henan and Shandong, and there are eighty-seven counties in two counties, including one magistrate, seven county magistrate and seven lords, and the rest are granary officials and tyrants." After Chunxiang said that, he secretly stared at Chang Yu, and Emperor Chongzhen and the prince were also watching him.

"Everyone is killed, peel and plant grass to show the public for three months!"

The prince couldn't help but shiver, glanced at Emperor Chongzhen but saw him expressionless but nodded slightly. Chang Yu said again: "I request to hold the bosses involved in the case for the failure of the investigation."

"It should be so, it's time to hit them," Emperor Chongzhen snorted.

"What's going on in Shandong? Where?" Chang Yu asked again.

"In Yanzhou Prefecture, a bandit was originally a bandit entrenched in the mountains and failed to suppress them repeatedly. They were already in a big way. They attacked the county town at night a few days ago..." Before he finished speaking, Chang Yu frowned: "Yanzhou Prefecture?"

"Yes, Fei County under its jurisdiction belongs to Yizhou," Chunxiang said quickly.

"Fei County, good guy." Chang Yu frowned even deeper, and the prince asked with a puzzled look: "Where is Fei County?"

"In the southeast of Qufu, the Yimeng Mountains," Chang Yu replied that Fei County was actually Pingyi County in later generations.

"A mere bandits still couldn't suppress them clearly and let them grow bigger. They were really useless!" Emperor Chongzhen rebuked angrily, and Chang Yu cursed in his heart: "You are so good at pretending, and you are so powerful that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong can become bigger and bigger."

"The local troops are insufficient, and Fei County is located in deep mountains and forests. The thief entrenched in Taihuangkou according to the dangers of the terrain, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack..." Chunxiang explained, and Chang Yu said, "Taihuangkou, no wonder!"

"What's wrong with the Taihuang Gu?" asked the prince, and Emperor Chongzhen also looked at Chang Yu.

"Your Highness, can you tell what the word "官" means?" Chang Yu suddenly asked. The prince was stunned when asked, but then said: "It seems to be a name for a mountain, with steep surroundings and flat tops of the mountain."

Chang Yu said huh: "Yes, this is a unique terrain in Shandong, known as the Seventy-Two Gates of Yimeng. This kind of mountain is also called Hat Mountain by local people. From a distance, it looks like a hat on the mountain. However, the hat is surrounded by cliffs and is very flat. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack when stationing in the village, but it is difficult to cross the birds."

"If it is difficult to attack, it will be trapped for a long time." Zhu Cilang blurted out, and Chang Yu shook his head bitterly: "You can cultivate on the mountain, and you can dig a stone to store water in the well. There is food and drink. If you have insufficient supply to the wild mountains and rivers below, who is trapping whom?"

Zhu Cilang stopped talking, Emperor Chongzhen said with a sinister face: "There is no dangerous obstacle in the world that cannot be defeated."

"What the emperor said is that if you need more troops and enough food, you can slowly take care of it, or you may not count the cost!" Chang Yu sighed in his heart. You are the emperor talking about war on paper. You don't know how difficult it is to attack the terrain before you. You must know that even in the later era of hot weapons, it is not easy to attack such places. Many people have heard of the Battle of Menglianggu, and they are fighting this terrain, let alone in the era of cold weapons.

"Whether it is a slow plan or a cost, you must not make it bigger. You must mobilize troops and horses to eliminate it with all your might." Emperor Chongzhen snorted coldly, and Zhu Cixuan suddenly asked Chang Yu: "If you go and fight, what would you fight?"

"I have no time," Chang Yu replied. The people in the hall were stunned, and then they couldn't help laughing. The atmosphere became a little gentler. Chang Yu struck while the iron was hot: "I am determined to be on the border, but the mere hilltops are not attracted by me, let alone not under my jurisdiction."

"Li Yan, you are talking about Li Yan." Zhu Cilang's eyes lit up.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded: "Governor Li Yan, who has been in Shandong for several months, is it really time to go back and do some work."

"In fact, Li Yan doesn't need to come to the mountain in person. Any general under his command can be defeated." Chang Yudandan said. Emperor Chongzhen agreed deeply. The local troops stationed in the area are not as experienced and strength as those who have been fighting on the front line all year round. The most important thing is that their troops are far less powerful.

Then Chang Yu discussed with Emperor Chongzhen how to dispatch troops and generals. Then he would pass the cabinet decision to convey to the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office to Li Yan. The court was responsible for food, grass, military pay and other supplies, and how to fight was Li Yan's business. Chang Yu didn't worry about this at all. If Li Yan couldn't do it, he would be bleeding from his head.

Chunxiang looked at Chang Yu who was having a hot chat with Emperor Chongzhen and his son, and his heart became more and more impressed. The emperor was furious and could only tremble. However, Chang Yu said a few words and said lightly, so he slapped the emperor's anger, and then gave advice to distribute the emperor's worries. He was absolutely incomparable to this, and even few civil and military officials in the court could reach it.
