Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

"Is this the case you're investigating?!"

Inside Dongnuan Pavilion.

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, threw the memorial down hard, stared at Xu Xianchun and shouted: "Xu Xianchun! If you can't find out the assassination case, then give way to me!"

"The gunpowder smuggling case supervised by the Ministry of Punishment, the West Police Factory investigated the capital and Gyeonggi to raise food prices, and arrested many traitors and rebels. But you think that tracing these is related to the above-mentioned cases, and you plotted an assassination in Xiyuan Is my culprit really hidden here?!"

"I am guilty!!"

Xu Xianchun fell to his knees on the ground, cold sweat forming on his back.

What a smart fool!

Seeing Xu Xianchun like this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but curse secretly. He originally asked Xu Xianchun to investigate the case, but many things happened since then, so he didn't have the energy to ask too much.

Unexpectedly, he had solved all the challenges and disturbances he faced one by one. On the other hand, Xu Xianchun, after tracing it till now, found nothing useful at all!

"Xu Xianchun, do you think you are smart?"

The dissatisfied Zhu Youxiao criticized the case and said: "Because they were involved in the gunpowder smuggling case, these people chose to take risks. They colluded with people who had affairs in the inner court and chose to assassinate me in Xiyuan."

"Then I would like to ask you, what is their motive?"

"Before I fell into the water in Xiyuan, neither the inner court nor the outer court knew about the gunpowder smuggling case, let alone the Huangzhuang corruption case. They were so scared that they would take the risk to assassinate me?!"

"minister……"

Xu Xianchun was speechless for a moment.

Originally, before submitting this memorial, Xu Xianchun had already thought of an excuse. Some people in the inner court were dissatisfied with the Supervisor of Ceremonies, so they wanted to create such a shocking assassination. Their real purpose was not to assassinate him, but to take advantage of the opportunity. Overthrow the person who is the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

As for who to bring down, Xu Xianchun never thought of saying it clearly.

But all signs point to one person.

Wei Zhongxian!

But now the emperor's attitude made Xu Xianchun dare not say anything at all.

But Xu Xianchun didn't expect that the emperor had already seen through what he was thinking.

The chain of evidence could not be clearer.

I want to use this backward method to clarify the Xiyuan assassination case and limit it to the disputes in the inner court, so as to draw a successful conclusion.

But is this what Zhu Youxiao wants?

Obviously not!

If it was really limited to the inner court in the end, then why did Zhu Youxiao go to all the trouble to recall Zhu Changxun to the capital? Even some ministers of the DPRK and China were deposed, arrested, or executed based on this case?

In Zhu Youxiao's eyes, even if the culprit in the case of Xiyuan falling into the water was not found in the end, the case could not be easily closed.

If the case is really closed like this, what will he do to purge those who oppose him? How to get rid of those refined self-interested people? Wouldn't it be the biggest joke in the world to want to supervise a major case in Tianqi Dynasty?

"Do you know why I asked Wei Zhongxian to leave the capital and recalled Zhu Changxun to the capital?"

Zhu Youxiao suppressed his anger and looked at Xu Xianchun coldly.

Ok?

This time Xu Xianchun was stunned.

Could it be that the person who wanted to assassinate the emperor in Xiyuan was King Fu in Luoyang?

This is unlikely, right? !

and many more!

It may not be possible for Prince Fu, but what about his mother-in-law?

At this moment, Xu Xianchun had many thoughts.

Looking at Xu Xianchun who was kneeling on the ground, Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the throne, narrowed his eyes and said secretly in his heart: "If Fang Zhenghua and the others hadn't gone to Shanxi secretly, I would have beaten Wei Zhongxian, and Tian Ergeng was planning something else, so you are like this I don’t want to use this idiot at all!”

Because the important case to be supervised was essentially made out of nothing, Zhu Youxiao could not force those talented people to investigate. The reason was very simple. This was against the mainstream thinking of the Ming Dynasty. However, from the perspective of imperial power, any threat When it comes to the element of imperial power, even if it makes no sense, it still makes sense.

This is where the imperial power is most domineering.

Therefore, to supervise such important cases, it is necessary to use ministers like Xu Xianchun who are lucky enough to advance, because they also desire power and want to maintain their status.

"Your Majesty, I still have something to report!"

"Say!"

Looking at Xu Xianchun who was kneeling and bowing, Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly.

"Those I found are just accomplices." Xu Xianchun became more and more determined in what he was thinking, suppressed his inner excitement, and bowed to the emperor: "Actually, among the people who participated in the assassination of His Majesty, it is very likely that Zheng Yangxing. The personal relationship between people and King Fu is very close!”

Not that stupid! !

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Xu Xianchun and said coldly: "In that case, let me thoroughly investigate who has contact with Zheng Yangxing and who sent the message to Zhu Changxun. Let me find out one by one!!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Xu Xianchun bowed immediately, and at the same time he was secretly relieved. He had made the right bet. At this moment, Xu Xianchun completely understood what his emperor meant.

This is to use this case to clean up the court!

Once you figure out the emperor's true intentions, the next step will be much easier to investigate.

Being involved with Zheng Yangxing is equivalent to being involved with Concubine Zheng, and being involved with Concubine Zheng is the dispute over the foundation of the country in the Wanli Dynasty!

And there are many people involved in this.

Even now, most of the Donglin Party members have been expelled from the central court, but there are still some people in Beijing who are closely related to it.

"Go check it out."

While Xu Xianchun was busy with his thoughts, Zhu Youxiao said: "From now on, the progress related to this case must be submitted to the emperor on a regular basis, and I want to see it."

"Here!"

Xu Xianchun bowed before bowing.

With the emperor's words, Xu Xianchun understood what was going on. The direction he wanted to investigate next must be reported to the emperor. If the emperor approved it, he would investigate it to the end. If the emperor vetoed it, he would not even touch it. Won't touch it.

it is more than words.

"It's hard to do."

After Xu Xianchun left Dongnuan Pavilion, no matter how long it took, Zhu Youxiao sighed softly, so what if he was the emperor?

When you choose to do something, you will also encounter choices and challenges.

Doing things too freely will be counterproductive.

"Someone is coming!"

While sighing, Zhu Youxiao fixed his eyes on a memorial on the imperial case. At that time, Liu Ruoyu, who was waiting outside the hall, lowered his head and walked into Dongnuan Pavilion.

"Try back the imperial memorial submitted by Hong Chengchou."

Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "Tell Hong Chengchou to go to the Ministry of War to take up his post first. I will summon him to the palace when it's time to meet him."

"The slaves obey the order."

Liu Ruoyu hurriedly lowered his head and responded.

Hong Chengchou, you came to Beijing very quickly.

Looking at Liu Ruoyu's leaving figure, the corners of Zhu Youxiao's mouth turned up slightly. He thought it would take some time for Hong Chengchou to enter the capital, but he didn't expect that it would only take a few months. After all, the crowd rushed to the capital. The distance from Zhejiang to the capital was so short. It's not close, but Hong Chengchou is rushing back to the capital now, and Zhu Youxiao also wants to see if this person knows current affairs!
