Beijing, Mingshifang.

A luxurious villa somewhere.

In the main hall, curls of sandalwood incense were lit, and the atmosphere became slightly solemn.

"The emperor is determined to have his own way."

A low voice broke the peace here.

When the more than ten people gathered here heard this sound, they all raised their heads and looked at the main seat. These people were all wearing python robes, and their expressions showed majesty.

"The matter has reached this point. It seems that if I can't wait to do something, then this kind of risk-free financial path will really be cut off."

Hearing the words of the person sitting on the main seat, the young man holding a Buddhist bead in one hand glanced at the people sitting in the hall, "First, the Tongbao Bank of unknown origin lent money at low interest rates in various shops inside and outside the capital, which made our wealth... The road was cut in half.”

"Right now, the Shuntian Government Office and the Disaster Relief Office are on a mission to dispatch manpower at various gates inside and outside the capital to strictly check all groups entering and leaving the city. As a result, our team responsible for transporting goods has been completely blocked from the capital. ."

“That’s not how it’s done!!”

A middle-aged man in a python robe paused the tea cup in his hand and interrupted what the young man said, "The most irritating thing is that in various places inside and outside the capital, and even in various parts of the capital, there are a group of businessmen who do not know how to live or die. They dare to There are restrictions on the sale and release of grain to the outside world, and my people checked it countless times, but they failed to find out who was behind them."

"If this is the case, then the people behind these merchants, even if they are not the emperor himself, must have close ties with the inner court."

The atmosphere suddenly changed.

"Mr. Cheng Guo, you asked me to wait here today, didn't you just want to say that the emperor is determined to have his own way?" Under this situation, one person raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhu Chunchen who was sitting on the throne. He said with a half-smile.

"Yes!"

The other person frowned and followed closely: "I just listened to your words and took advantage of the chaos in the capital and capital to make a good profit and messed up the situation of the court."

"Now I have spent a lot of money waiting for you. The civil servants in the outer court have not made any move yet. This is different from what you said at the beginning."

Zhu Chunchen frowned, and his eyes changed when he looked at those people.

"Is it possible that in your eyes, making a fortune out of a mess is more important than regaining power?"

Zhu Chunchen suppressed his dissatisfaction, glanced at the people gathered in the hall, and said in a bad tone: "If this is the case, then we should just break up and stop talking. Duke Dingguo, what do you think?"

When talking about this, Zhu Chunchen looked at Xu Xigao, who had been silent, with dissatisfied eyes. The people who had just jumped out to question him were all closely related to Duke Dingguo!

"Don't be angry, Duke Cheng."

Xu Xigao smiled, lifted his robe and looked at Zhu Chunchen, "At this point, it is no longer important to us whether we can make money or not, as Duke Cheng Guo said."

"The important thing now is to disrupt the court situation and allow those treacherous civil servants to launch a counterattack against His Majesty, so that we can re-enter His Majesty's sight."

When everyone gathered in the hall heard this, they all nodded in approval.

indeed.

Although the current situation has changed, they did make a lot of money in the past chaos. The key is that there is no risk at all.

Now that the initial plan has been achieved, what needs to be achieved now is very critical.

"I am just wondering, why does Your Majesty treat us like this?"

Zhu Chunchen glanced around, suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and pretended to be confused: "We are all nobles of the Ming Dynasty. How can Zhang Weixian and others win the trust of the emperor? Not only do they control the real power in the newly established Royal Forbidden City, but also in the capital. What he did was not punished in any way.”

"In the past, we, the nobles and nobles, were the pillars of the Great Ming Dynasty, controlling the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies for the emperor, but what did we get in exchange for that? We were neglected by those civil servants, and even watched as if they were guarding against thieves."

"This has been passed down from generation to generation. We, the nobles, are like being imprisoned in the capital. Everything we do is wrong. But what exactly did we do wrong?"

When Zhu Chunchen said this, everyone here became excited.

Why! ?

From the emperor's special establishment of the Royal Guards Palace to the amnesty of Xiong Tingbi to assist in the military affairs of the Beijing camp, all the things that happened during this period caused the group of nobles in Beijing to suffer a lot of losses.

Especially here in Jingying.

Those generals who had joined their ranks had either had their heads chopped off by Xiong Tingbi, or had their military power taken away. Even not long ago, even their share of free pay was squeezed out.

There is no harm without comparison.

Although a group of nobles led by Zhang Weixian, Zhang Qingzhen, and Wei Shitai gave up a lot of interests during this period, they are now in power in the Royal Forbidden Army Mansion, and they can even see the emperor from time to time. This difference Ah, it makes other people in Beijing unbalanced.

Everything in this world is inextricably linked in invisible places. It may not be the same thing, but it can be connected to each other because of some things.

After all, interests are considered! !

"Then what does Duke Cheng want to do next?"

Seeing everyone in front of him like this, Xu Xigao leaned on the official hat chair and said to Zhu Chunchen: "If you wait any longer, I'm afraid your majesty will close the net."

"I have thought about it."

Facing the gazes one after another, Zhu Chunchen said with half a smile: "It's time for the Imperial Procuratorate and the Sixth Section to take action. I know that you all have censors under your sect. Under this situation, it's time for you to take action." It’s time to use them.”

"As long as we can stir up the situation in the court and stir up the eunuchs in the court, the next thing will be interesting. Don't forget that Wei Zhongxian has not returned to the palace yet."

"Does Duke Cheng Guo want to force him into the palace?"

When a distinguished noble heard this, he looked at Zhu Chunchen in surprise.

Other nobles also showed different expressions.

None of them expected Zhu Chunchen to be so courageous.

"What does this have to do with me?"

However, Zhu Chunchen raised his lips slightly and said, "We are just honorable nobles. Things like forcing the palace to be imprisoned are only done by the civil servants from other dynasties."

This is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!

Some people thought of something.

"Everyone, please do this in a smart way." Looking at the people with different expressions, Zhu Chunchen suppressed his smile and said with a serious expression: "Don't let others find out about your hands and feet. Now we can't find out the news about the inner court. Mr. Gong feels that His Majesty must have done something before this."

"I will tell you the ugly things first. If anyone is found out or dares to implicate other people, then no one will be able to feel better!!"

Hearing Zhu Chunchen talk about this, all the nobles present knew what Zhu Chunchen meant. As a large family with a long history, whether they are nobles in Beijing or Nanjing, there are hidden lines in private. Among them Including the heirs who continue the incense, the family trees registered by these people are all recorded separately.

If these nobles can get together, they will understand each other and have equal strength, so they can get the corresponding respect. Therefore, in some matters, they will follow the same rules, so as to ensure that their families can Continue to last forever!
