Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

"Don't you understand why I do this?"

After Wang Tiqian and Shi Yuanya left, Dongnuan Pavilion, which seemed crowded at first, became very empty at this moment. Zhu Youxiao, who was leaning on the soft cushions, looked at Zhu Youjian with a slight frown, "Obviously I deceived them and followed them. The Huangzhuang corruption case is closely related, why not arrest them all?"

"Brother Chen..."

Zhu Youjian's hesitant state also reflected his inner thoughts in disguise.

"If I really kill them all, then there will be chaos in the inner court." Zhu Youxiao smiled, with the corners of his mouth turning up slightly, "Things like water leakage and poisoning will inevitably happen in the inner court, the emperor's brother Do you believe it?"

"How dare they!?"

Zhu Youjian was horrified, looked at his royal brother and said: "They are..."

"It's true that they are my domestic slaves, but don't forget, Emperor brother, dogs will jump over the wall when they are anxious."

Zhu Youxiao lifted up the sleeves of his robe, "I have captured all these people, and then I will convey an idea to the inner court. I am going to go on a killing spree. Without these people to deter them, no one can imagine what the people below will do." of."

"There are a group of powerful eunuchs in the inner court, but don't forget that the larger ones are the eunuchs. They are afraid of me, but they are more afraid of these eunuchs."

"This is the deterrent brought by class. If the class in the inner court is destroyed, it means disorder and chaos will occur in the inner court."

This……

Zhu Youjian, who heard such remarks for the first time, didn't know what to say for a while. Although he wanted to deny this statement, after careful consideration, Zhu Youjian felt that his royal brother was right.

"And just today, do you know what I received?"

Zhu Youxiao leaned forward, pulled out an envelope from a pile of memorials, and handed it to Zhu Youjian with a half-smile, "This is a letter written by Wei Banban to me."

Didn’t Wei Zhongxian leave Beijing?

Zhu Youjian was stunned for a moment. When he walked towards the imperial court, he could not help but have doubts in his heart. He knew that Wei Zhongxian left Beijing because he had important things to do.

"Don't think about it."

Zhu Youxiao said: "This is a letter Wei Banban wrote to me before he left the palace, and the opportunity for this letter to appear was after Fang Zhenghua reported to me the actual situation in the Shuntian Mansion Palace, an inconspicuous person What was written on it when it was submitted to the emperor was about the corruption in Huangzhuang."

When did it happen? !

Zhu Youjian was surprised when he took the envelope. After thinking about it carefully, he had been staying in Dongnuan Pavilion today and rarely left.

wrong!

Did it happen when I was out of court?

"As early as when I ordered Fang Zhenghua to transform them and let the Four Guards Battalion and other units under the jurisdiction of the Royal Horse Prison begin to select brave men, Wei Banban knew that the matter in Huangzhuang could not be hidden."

When Zhu Youjian was surprised, Zhu Youxiao said: "It's just that Wei Banban has never dared to tell me about this matter, but he was afraid that after he left the capital, the matter involving Huangzhuang would explode. When I read this letter, I thought of the possibility that Wang Tiqian and others must know about this matter, and even Wei Banban asked them to find a suitable opportunity to confess all this to me, but they did not do so."

"Then the emperor spared them because of Wei Zhongxian?"

Looking at the letter in his hand, Zhu Youjian said what he was thinking.

"Yes and no."

Zhu Youxiao stood up from the throne, his expression a little sad, "I know you despise Wei Zhongxian, and even hate it in your heart, but I need people like Wei Zhongxian, not only for the inner court, but also for the court. Vicious dogs are far more intimidating than loyal dogs!”

"One more thing, a vicious dog alone is not enough, a bunch of foxes are needed to help. And their lives are in my hands because of this matter. What do you think they will do in the future?"

Will fight to the death to express his feelings.

Zhu Youjian secretly thought in his heart that at this moment he seemed to understand why his royal brother would do such a thing.

"Then, brother Huang, do you think what they said is credible?"

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but look up and asked Zhu Youxiao: "After all, if we really have to explain everything, then won't they suspect that the emperor is using this matter to raise troops to investigate?"

"So we have to ask them to pay the penalty fee."

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly and said: "If all the roads are blocked, then they will definitely worry about gains and losses, but when there is a hope and faced with the decision of life and death, no matter who it is, they will have luck in their hearts. What if this bet can really keep them alive?”

So this is ah.

Zhu Youjian couldn't help but widen his eyes. He obviously didn't think of this. He originally thought that his royal brother did this purely for the love of money.

"Of course, I can also use this matter to recover all the money that originally belonged to the internal funds from these people."

Zhu Youxiao lifted up his robe sleeves and said: "And the most important point is that with their explanation, Founder will be able to reduce a lot of pressure on them, and thus more quickly eliminate those scum and the corrupt officials in various places who are related to them." All the corrupt officials, demons and monsters will be caught in one sweep!"

At this time, Zhu Youjian didn't know what to say.

He never thought that there were so many thoughts hidden behind one thing, even one link within another.

According to his royal brother's approach, not only can Fang Zhenghua and others be informed of the actual situation in the imperial villages of Beizhili, and then rapid arrests can be made, the key is that the inner court will not cause chaos due to the investigation of the imperial villages, or even the gang in power. Eunuch, because of various things explained, there will be shortcomings that will be found.

"And it won't be long before there will be some rumors in the inner court."

While Zhu Youji was thinking, Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes and said, "In order to preserve their power and status, some eunuchs in power chose to reveal their disciples and grandchildren who were previously protected by them."

This is too cruel! ?

Zhu Youjian's face changed slightly and he looked at his royal brother in disbelief. If he did this, even if he didn't reveal his name, Wang Tigan and his group of powerful eunuchs would all fall into the whirlpool, one by one. From now on, the phenomenon of hugging together in the inner court to keep warm will decrease.

At the same time, in order to maintain their positions, Wang Tigan and the others will inevitably suppress the people below them, and this requires them to work harder. Otherwise, once they lose the emperor's trust, they will be nothing.

"Royal brother, I am telling you this just because I want you to understand."

Zhu Youxiao looked at the stunned Zhu Youjian, "The human heart is the most difficult thing to guess in the world, and it is also the least able to withstand temptation. As a superior, you must always understand what the human heart is. Using the people below does not mean absolute trust. , absolute trust does not mean reuse on the surface, this is the first lesson I will teach you."

Zhu Youjian didn't know what to say for a moment. Obviously these things had a great impact on him.

"besides."

Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and said: "In addition to what I told you, I also have other reasons for choosing to do this. I will give the emperor one night to guess all these. I will see this homework tomorrow. I am exhausted of the memorials, so please step aside first."

"My dear brother, please retire."

Zhu Youjian raised his hands and bowed, but deep in his heart, he had deep doubts. What other intentions did he have?

I hope you won't disappoint me.

Looking at Zhu Youjian's leaving figure, Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes slightly. If he wanted to change the fate of the Ming Dynasty, opening up to the outside world was the way to go. This would not only enable widespread open source, but also divert internal conflicts and move the affairs of the vassal state overseas. It must be done in advance, so training Zhu Youjian is an extremely important step.

As for Zhu Youxiao's other hidden intentions, they are related to the Outer Dynasty. The current situation is no longer to fight against the outside world, but must first settle the internal affairs. The inner country has been greatly frightened by the killings in the past, but now the Outer Dynasty has not He was completely shocked, so Zhu Youxiao turned his attention to the outside world.

If Zhu Youjian cannot even figure this out, then he is not a qualified leader, and the banner of moving overseas vassals cannot be handed over to his shoulders. Zhu Youxiao must find someone else who can carry it. Talent can do it!
