"Your Majesty's move will definitely win the love of the people all over the world, and we, the ministers, will definitely do our best for Your Majesty and build the Ming Dynasty together!"
"Your Majesty was the role model of the time and the model for all things!"
…
All the officials said excitedly, feeling that they had the upper hand in this argument with Lin Fan.
Little did he know that releasing Xu Fengchu would play into Lin Fan's hands.
Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to pardon Xu Fengchu from the untouchables and allowed him to return to the Hanlin Academy, which soon spread to the untouchables.
Xu Fengchu received the imperial edict with a sneer on his face: "Haha, although this loser Tian Wenzhong was caught, my cooperation with him did not leave any clues."
"Moreover, I was demoted to the ghetto because of Tian Wenzhong. If Lin Fan wants to harm me in the court, the civil and military officials of the court will not agree!"
Xu Fengchu thought that his treacherous plot had succeeded, so he followed the officials who came to deliver the order out of the den. The officials in the Hanlin Academy were all waiting for Xu Fengchu in the Hanlin Academy.
Xu Fengchu came to the Hanlin Academy.
"Master Xu! You have finally come out today!"
"It's a good time! Mr. Xu is freed from the slums. In the future, we will definitely beg your Majesty to restore Mr. Xu to his official position!"
"Hmph! This Lin Fan doesn't know how to praise him. He does have some talents. If he can get the support of people like us, his development in the court will be even better!"
"What a pity! He is just a warrior and doesn't know how to govern the country. If you want to make Ming Dynasty better and better, you still have to rely on Mr. Xu to do it!"
…
Officials from the Hanlin Academy welcomed Xu Fengchu in and began to greet him.
In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen summoned Lin Fan to ask about the matter.
"Fan'er, does Xu Fengchu really have a problem?"
Emperor Chongzhen asked.
"Reporting to your Majesty, I am investigating this matter. I believe there will be a result soon."
Lin Fan said.
"Haha! This old boy has many party members in the court. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, can't you see it?
After being relegated to a pariah for many years, he still has so many gang members, which shows how high his methods are!"
"Living in an untouchable slum and still interfering in the affairs of the government is not a matter of whether he has a problem, but a matter of getting rid of this person."
Lin Fan complained in his heart.
Emperor Chongzhen heard Lin Fan's complaints and realized the seriousness of the matter, so he said: "Then you have to check it quickly. He has returned to the Hanlin Academy now. In a few days, the officials will probably hand over documents.
His official position has been restored."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Xu Fengchu's crime will be revealed in two or three days at most. However, your Majesty may have to make a major decision by then."
Lin Fan said.
"What decision?"
Emperor Chongzhen looked puzzled.
"The question of how many officials to kill."
Lin Fan said.
hiss!
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but take a breath of air. As the leader of a country, these words from his mouth were shocking words.
What's more, these words came from Lin Fan's mouth. This son of his was really murderous!
If I hand over the throne to him, is it really right?
However, if it is not left to him but to Jiong'er, can he manage this country well?
At this time, Chongzhen had to think about this issue again, because Lin Fan's strategy of governing the country was increasingly running counter to him.
"Fan'er, you are now the Emperor Wuhou. If you say something like this, you must not say anything nonsense in the future. You must be careful with your words and deeds. Do you understand?"
Emperor Chongzhen warned.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Lin Fan said.
But he complained in his heart: "Haha! Let's call you a coward. You have a high sense of integrity, but in the face of these civil and military officials and a group of rotten scholars, you act hesitant and hesitant. How can you make the Ming Dynasty truly prosperous?" Become stronger?"
"I, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, guard the country's gates and have the courage to die for the country. I'm afraid you have long since lost it."
kindness!
Emperor Chongzhen was shocked by Lin Fan's voice this time.
The emperor guards the country!
The king dies in Sheji!
This is a saying that has been praised throughout the Ming Dynasty. It seems that I really want to forget it...
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen let out a long sigh and said: "Fan'er, feel free to investigate this matter, but I will kill as many people as there are related to this matter!"
Lin Fan accepted the order and turned around to leave the Qianqing Palace. At this time, there were already 20,000 guards in golden clothes outside the untouchable den. The people in the untouchable den were all trembling.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Lin Fan arrived on a fast horse, and with an order, 20,000 guards in golden uniforms rushed into the untouchable den and conducted a thorough inspection of all places in the untouchable den.
Anyone who dares to resist will be punished by death!
Soon, the Jin Yiwei encountered resistance from a group of about three thousand people, all of whom had firearms such as firecrackers.
The Jin Yiwei's configuration was not bad either. After a fierce battle between the two sides, and Lin Fan personally commanding them, the three thousand people were unable to withstand the Jin Yiwei's attack and quickly fled.
However, the Jin Yiwei had already surrounded the untouchable den, and they had no way to escape. They were eventually slaughtered by the Jin Yiwei. The Jin Yiwei found a large amount of brass and gunpowder in their stronghold.
"Sir! As you expected, the brass lost by the Liu family is indeed here. Moreover, there is also a large amount of gunpowder here. They also made cannons!"
"These cannons are all made of brass. Because brass has high hardness and is lighter than iron, the power of these cannons is also greater!"
"Sir, after investigation, those people just now are from the Ministry of War, but they are all the dead souls of the Ministry of War!"
…
Lin Fan was shocked when he heard Jin Yiwei's report. He didn't expect that Xu Fengchu would dare to make a cannon in this untouchable den. Was it going to be used to bomb the capital?
"All these cannons have been confiscated, and all the brass has been brought back to Baihusi Yamen. This time the brothers have worked hard. After returning, each of them will receive a reward of one tael of silver."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, sir!"
The Jin Yiwei all said excitedly.
One tael of silver per person is indeed not much, but for 20,000 people, it is 20,000 taels of silver. Lord Wuhou is already very generous.
After taking the brass, cannons, and gunpowder out, Lin Fan ordered the Jinyi Guards to completely seal the place. No one was allowed to go out without his own orders.
As for the issue of food for the people in the untouchable slum, Lin Fan asked Jin Yiwei to go shopping on their behalf. This was to ensure that the affairs here would not be spread to outsiders.
Xu Fengchu returned to his room, and the smile on his face disappeared. He spent the whole night being polite to the people in the Imperial Academy, and now he was finally at leisure.
However, the assassin he sent to kill Lin Fan failed, why didn't he come back to find him?
