Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

"What do you want to do? Is it difficult to guess?"

Zhu Youxiao had a joking look on his face, lifted his robe and sat on the throne, pointing to the memorials on the imperial case, "From the price of grain in the capital and Gyeonggi Province being maliciously raised, to the disturbance of farmland in Jingdong and other places, a large number of Liao people fled everywhere. This leads to a situation of mass gathering, which then feeds back into the collapse of local order.”

"Under such a general background, many scandals have occurred in the region, including the capital and Gyeonggi, which have involved more people. Even now, many rumors have appeared without warning. This all points to one point. They You want to destroy the dignity I have erected, and you want to destroy the roots I have!"

Zhu Youjian stood with his brows furrowed.

Obviously, he did not expect that such a dangerous trend was hidden in an invisible place.

"I'm really becoming more and more curious about what kind of people they are that want to expend so much thought and energy to turn the world upside down."

Zhu Youxiao smiled, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "These methods of manipulating people's hearts are really too clever. If we can't find a way to solve it, I'm afraid it won't be long before the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos, and then the central government will The civil servants in the hall will use this trend to force me to make a decision."

"High, it's true!"

"I previously ordered the factory guards to arrest and execute a group of monsters and monsters. The supreme majesty erected in the central court and the selfless face erected in private places have been questioned and speculated in the hearts of the people because of the rumors that are gathering now. ."

"The emperor and the people compete for profit? Haha, it's really ridiculous. The entire Ming Dynasty belongs to me. If I really want to get something, why should I use such despicable means?"

"Brother Imperial, what do you think these people are doing so much for?"

Zhu Youjian frowned, looked up at his royal brother, and expressed his doubts, "Based on the current situation, food prices have been maliciously driven up, allowing them to make huge profits."

"But in the capital city and the capital, spreading rumors on such a large scale, and even doing other things secretly, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money, right?"

"If you calculate it this way, even if their conspiracy succeeds, what will they get? Money? I'm afraid they won't get much."

"Silver is just a small head."

The corners of Zhu Youxiao's mouth turned up slightly, "You think of things too simply. Although I don't know who is involved, I understand a little bit."

"The one who hides the deepest among them is afraid that what they want is to break the situation. Since I fell into the water in Xiyuan, I have wanted to rectify the imperial court, want to be arbitrary, and want to rectify the government."

"After all, only in this way, I will completely lose my authority in the court from now on, so that the civil servants outside the court will dare to confront me."

"Isn't this an attempt to tamper?!"

Zhu Youjian said with wide eyes.

"Yes and no."

Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "The real purpose is to bring the central court back to its previous state. As long as the court situation is chaotic enough, we can continue to fish in troubled waters."

"It is precisely these hidden intentions that make me understand that the people who are secretly stirring up the situation must be deeply involved in the investigation of Huangzhuang, and even the gunpowder smuggling case supervised by Cui Chengxiu is also inextricably linked. connect."

"Imperial brother, think about it. Before the Donglin Party was defeated, the situation in the central court was so chaotic. And the series of cases I discovered after Xiyuan fell into the water involved many major corruption cases. These It definitely did not arise after the collapse of the Donglin Party!"

Zhu Youjian's thoughts were a little confused.

Although he understood what his royal brother said, Zhu Youjian always felt that there was something he couldn't figure out when he connected what he was experiencing now with what he had discovered before.

"Brother Imperial, what should we do next?"

"Just keep waiting."

Seeing his imperial brother, Zhu Youxiao probably had a lot of doubts in his heart, but he didn't say much else and just said what he thought.

"The more chaotic the situation, the more calm you must be. At this time, the enemy hiding in the dark is waiting for you to mess up your position. As long as you really mess up your position, you will only become more passive in the future."

"Chen Qiyu and Sun Chuanting are sorting out the local order. As for others, I am also stepping up deployment. The battle now is who is more patient and who can keep calm!"

To be honest, Zhu Youxiao did not expect that the situation would change so quickly.

It was almost unimaginable for Zhu Youxiao.

It's just that the more you are in such a situation, you must follow your own pace and you must not be led by others, otherwise things will be really difficult to handle.

The wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated.

It was also under this situation that Zhu Youxiao felt sad in his heart. He originally thought that if he wanted to control and balance the outer court, the biggest resistance would come from the court, but Zhu Youxiao never expected that he would be the first to launch a counterattack. It actually started from among the people.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Ke, Secretary of the Ministry of War, wants to see you immediately! Reports from Tongzhou, Shunyi, Sanhe and other places indicate that there have been incidents of robbing grain merchants under your rule..."

Under this situation, an eunuch hurried into Dongnuan Pavilion and told Zhu Youjian the news that shocked him. When Zhu Youxiao heard the news, his eyes became sharp.

"Your Majesty! Gu Bingqian, the chief minister of the cabinet, asked for an audience. Wu Yongxian, the governor of Jiliao, submitted an urgent report. The old troops of the Li family gathered in Shanhaiguan to mutiny. Du Yingkui, the chief military officer of Shanhaiguan, was killed in the rebellion. There was chaos in Shanhaiguan. Yu Anxing, the governor of Liaodong, led his troops to suppress it. !”

But not long after, another eunuch ran into Dongnuan Pavilion and what he said made Zhu Youxiao's murderous intention uncontrollable.

It’s so lawless!

Zhu Youxiao knew that the situation he would face next might be beyond his expectation and control, but Zhu Youxiao never expected that the farce in the capital and Gyeonggi would also affect Shanhaiguan.

Shanhaiguan is an important town that protects the capital, and it is an important barrier to guard the pass. If there is any mistake here, it will cause great losses to the Ming Dynasty.

The Li family was arrested for a gunpowder smuggling case, but nothing happened before that, but now, something like this happened.

If there is no conspiracy behind this, Zhu Youxiao would not believe it even to death!

"Brother Imperial, what should we do next?"

Zhu Youjian was confused at this moment.

"Why panic!!"

Seeing Zhu Youjian like this, Zhu Youxiao scolded: "The sky of Ming Dynasty has not fallen yet!"

At this point, Zhu Youxiao looked at the eunuch in front of him and said in a cold tone: "Call them in."

At this moment, Zhu Youxiao clenched his fists. He didn't care who was behind the scenes, but he would never let these monsters go this time. What they did had already touched Zhu Youxiao's bottom line! !
