Under the current conditions, there is nothing wrong with the drawings submitted by the Ministry of Industry.
The main structure is mainly made of masonry and wood. Both the specifications and the amount of materials used are comparable to those of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
However, the Martyrs' Shrine in Zhu Qizhen's mind is not like this.
So, I revised the drawings in the Imperial Study Room in the morning, went to Dingxiang Tower to eat donkey meat at noon, and went to Tingyu Pavilion to listen to music in the afternoon.
This happened every day for three days in a row.
Finally, on the night of the third day, Yang Zhicong’s secret note arrived.
After Zhu Qizhen finished reading, his face became more solemn, and he immediately ordered: "Huai'en, go to Fusi, Beibei Town, take this note to Yuan Bin, and tell him that you can start!"
"Yes!"
Huaien did not dare to neglect and hurried out of the palace. Zhu Qizhen's face was gloomy and his anger could not be eliminated.
In the dead of night, Queen Qian lay on the bed and waited for a long time, but there was no movement.
She couldn't help turning over, lying on the pillow and blowing in her ears: "Your Majesty, what's going on today? What's bothering you?"
Zhu Qizhen sighed quietly and said: "If you are a minister of the DPRK who talks about benevolence, justice and morality every day, but secretly does shameful things behind your back, how should you deal with it?"
"I don't dare to discuss the government affairs unreasonably."
"It's okay, just make small talk."
"This... I believe that the situation should be dealt with according to the law based on whether the situation is serious or not."
"What should I do if I have an affair with a foreign enemy?"
Queen Qian's heart froze and she did not dare to say any more.
"Your Majesty, under the ancestral system of our dynasty, ministers are not allowed to interfere in politics. It is better to discuss this matter with the cabinet."
Zhu Qizhen said calmly: "There are no outsiders here. If you have any ideas, just say so. I won't blame you."
Empress Qian had no choice but to bravely say: "I believe that even if I am an important official in the court, I must abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Collaboration with the enemy can be regarded as treason and is an unpardonable crime."
Zhu Qizhen was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Do you know what happened at Uncle Qingyun's house?"
"I heard Concubine Zhou mention that there was a robber at home, but I don't know if the murderer was caught."
"The murderer has been identified, but what makes me angry is the secret hidden behind it. Qingyunbo's shop actually has contacts with the Mongols!"
Queen Qian didn't dare to say anything anymore. She didn't expect the matter to be so big. It was also her fault. She didn't sleep well, so why did she say this...
"I and the soldiers fought bloody battles on the front line, but these people are supporting the enemy in the rear. For money, they really dare to do any business!"
The more Zhu Qizhen talked, the angrier he became. He turned to Queen Qian and said, "I have to go out to do something tomorrow. Go and tell Mrs. Zhou that she should not get involved in Uncle Qingyun's case. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
!"
"I obey your orders!"
Queen Qian huddled in bed, not daring to express her anger.
"Okay, go to sleep!"
Zhu Qizhen made up his mind and went to sleep. Early the next morning, he took Fan Zhong out of the palace again and went straight to Tingyu Pavilion.
The old madam was shocked. Are young people so angry?
It's too early, the girls haven't gotten up yet...
"Sir, please wait for a moment, I'll call Miss Gu Xi..."
Zhu Qizhen didn't want to talk nonsense with her, so he walked upstairs.
The Madam was about to step forward, but was stopped by Fan Zhong, who glared at her viciously, then turned around and went upstairs.
When he arrived on the second floor, Zhu Qizhen didn't knock on the door, but just pushed it open.
Song Guxi was combing her hair when she was startled and asked: "Sir, why are you here so early today?"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, signaling Fan Zhong to wait outside the door, then closed the door, pulled up a chair and sat down.
"What music do you want to listen to today?"
Miss Gu Xi straightened the rags on her temples and came forward to pour tea.
"Okay, stop pretending!"
Zhu Qizhen said solemnly: "You already know my identity, right?"
Miss Gu Xi sighed, bowed down, and said softly: "Song Gu Xi, a commoner girl, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor. Long live my Emperor!"
"Why don't you act?"
"The emperor has already revealed this, how can a common girl continue to act..."
"Hmph!" Zhu Qizhen snorted coldly and said, "Unexpectedly, the famous White Lotus Saint is hiding under my nose. I have to say, this courage is really admirable!"
"The emperor praised me erroneously, and the women of the people were frightened."
"Are you still scared?" Zhu Qizhen sneered, "The cases at Yunlai Buzhuang and Fanji Warehouse were all your fault, right?"
"Since the emperor already knows it, the daughter of the people will not hide it. Yes, these profiteers collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and they deserved to die!"
"Are you still reasonable?"
Zhu Qizhen was so angry that he laughed and said: "You committed a crime under my nose, do you want to rebel?"
"People's girls don't dare!" Miss Gu Xi was kneeling on the ground, but she was neither humble nor arrogant. She said, "If a people's girl has evil intentions, she will have many opportunities to be alone with the emperor in these few days..."
Having said this, I didn’t say any more.
You can’t say I can kill you in a minute...
Zhu Qizhen paused and asked again: "When did you recognize my identity?"
"The Emperor returned from the Northern Expedition, majestic and majestic. It was a privilege for a common girl to catch a glimpse of the Emperor's true face from the window."
"In other words, you knew about me the first time I came here?"
Song Guxi nodded and said: "The emperor was interviewed incognito, and the women did not dare to tell the truth, so they had to accompany the emperor to stage this drama."
Zhu Qizhen thought for a moment and asked: "Get up and answer the question. I order you to tell the whole story in detail. If you tell any lies, we will immediately send troops to destroy Bai Lian!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Song Guxi slowly stood up and said: "Actually, the White Lotus Sect is not as unbearable as the emperor imagined. The purpose of our sect is to promote good and eliminate evil and save the world. The emperor led the soldiers to fight bloody battles on the front line, but some profiteers just wanted to
I don’t hesitate to have an affair with another person for money. May I ask, Your Majesty, should these people die?”
"Of course you deserve to die!" Zhu Qizhen said bitterly, "Even if you deserve to die, with the imperial court and me here, it won't be your turn to take action!"
"Does Your Majesty know how long these people have been collaborating with the enemy?"
Zhu Qizhen was stunned and asked: "How do you say this?"
Song Guxi sighed quietly and said: "Your Majesty, you have been deceived. Let's not say it far away. Just say that this time Wala also went south with hundreds of thousands of troops. How many of the supplies were provided by these profiteers?"
Zhu Qizhen's face became increasingly ugly, and he asked again: "What else do you know?"
"The civilian girl also knew that about a month ago, the Oara army ran out of food and grass, and she contacted them privately. However, the situation was severe at that time and the food and grass they raised could not be transported out, so they gave up!"
Bang!
Zhu Qi slapped the table angrily, causing the tea bowl to fly up and the tea to splash everywhere.
"I am his ancestor!"
It’s hard to imagine that even though I risked my life and cut off the food supply to Wala, there are still people trying to find ways to deliver food to Wala. Is this what the hell people do?
If the Oara people were really allowed to obtain food and fodder and break through Badaling and Juyong Pass, wouldn’t the century-old foundation of the Ming Dynasty be destroyed in one day!
"Your Majesty, calm down. The daughter of the people is a female generation. She cannot go into battle to kill the enemy. She can only use this method to save the world. The stolen property will also be distributed to the people. If the emperor does not believe it, the daughter of the people can take the emperor to visit.
, let’s see what the people say.”
"These are two different things!"
Zhu Qizhen suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "I will confiscate the homes of these profiteers who are collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and their families will be confiscated. Even if they help the people, I should be the one to help them. Now you are using my money to buy them."
People’s hearts. You must understand that this world belongs to me, not to your White Lotus Sect!”
Song Guxi hurriedly bowed down and said, "The daughter of the people knew she was wrong, so she handed over all the property she got. The emperor sent someone to the Xiangyun Cargo Station in the outer city, where all the things were."
Zhu Qizhen's expression softened slightly, and he asked again: "Why weren't you panicked at all when I came to see you?"
Song Guxi smiled softly and said: "How could a common girl not panic? At that time, she was so panicked that she didn't know what to do. But then she thought about it, since the emperor has found out this, he must have laid a dragnet. If the trap is revealed at this time,
, isn’t it just asking for trouble? It’s better to just pretend and keep acting.”
Zhu Qizhen asked again: "Is this Tingyu Pavilion your stronghold?"
Song Guxi shook her head and said: "Tingyu Pavilion is just an ordinary brothel. The girls perform here to make it easier to gather information. After all, they come into contact with three religions and nine streams every day. From their mouths, we can know a lot of things.
."
Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and said: "If you continue to stay here, I will come to find you again!"
