Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

Cui Chengxiu's hanging hands trembled slightly. Although he had thought about this possibility countless times before entering the palace this time, when these words came out of the emperor's mouth, the matter became different.

If we really want to kill them all, I don’t know what kind of turmoil it will cause.

After all, there are too many people involved.

Not to mention people like Hou Guoxing and Ke Guangxian, the Ke family died in mysterious circumstances, and their confidence was also gone.

However, people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, the Five Cities Patrol Censorship Office, the Beijing Camp, and even the Ministry of War were also involved. If they were all caught, imagine how many people would be shocked.

And the most important point is that this is only under the rule of the capital. If the investigation continues, God knows how many people will be involved.

Cui Chengxiu felt his scalp numb when he thought of this.

"Slave Wei Zhongxian, please pay your respects to the Emperor!"

Under this situation, the sound outside the hall made Cui Chengxiu's heart tense inexplicably, and even cold sweat broke out on his back.

The reason why Cui Chengxiu is like this.

The reason is also very simple.

After he was ordered to supervise the gunpowder smuggling case, Cui Chengxiu had no active contact with Wei Zhongxian, excluding the period when Wei Zhongxian left Beijing.

The key is that the gunpowder smuggling case also implicated Hou Guoxing and Ke Guang first. Although Cui Chengxiu guessed that Ke's death was inseparable from Wei Zhongxian, but after all, this is something that cannot be mentioned clearly.

Once something is done, it is impossible to treat it as if it never happened.

"come in!"

Zhu Youxiao said in a cold tone.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao was still thinking about how to send people to arrest these people. The Xiji Police Factory led by Fang Zhenghua and the Luan Guard led by Li Ruolian went to Shanxi secretly to handle the case, and the Da Neihang Factory led by Han Zanzhou was still in the process of construction. At this stage, as for Jin Yiwei, there are other things to do.

As for the Beijing camp or the new army, Zhu Youxiao will not move as long as he can. After all, training takes time, not to mention that the current court and the capital are not peaceful. If he plays out all the few cards he has, then once something happens In the event of an emergency, Zhu Youxiao would become very passive.

Wei Zhongxian came over at this time to let Zhu Youxiao know what to do.

Originally, Wei Zhongxian was summoned to do something about the eunuch party, but now it looks like he has to get the important things done first!

"Wei Banban, the gunpowder smuggling case has been investigated."

Looking at Wei Zhongxian walking in, although Wei Zhongxian acted very calmly, through some observations, Zhu Youxiao knew what Wei Zhongxian heard.

"What does the emperor need from my slave?"

Wei Zhongxian suppressed the surprise in his heart and hurriedly bowed to the emperor.

He knew about the gunpowder smuggling case, but he didn't expect that Cui Chengxiu would do such a big thing behind his back, without even letting him know anything about it before.

When thinking about the current complicated situation, Wei Zhongxian understood that as long as all the people involved in the gunpowder smuggling case were arrested, a new turmoil would inevitably arise.

But whether this storm is good or bad, and what kind of impact it will have, no one can guess.

"It's time for the East Police Factory to take on more responsibilities."

Zhu Youxiao lifted up his robe sleeves, looked at Wei Zhongxian and said, "In addition to dealing with the aftermath of Huangzhuang, we also need to catch these traitors. Is this difficult for Wei Banban?"

"No...no."

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly expressed his position: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely handle this matter."

"That's good."

Zhu Youxiao looked arrogant and said: "I only have one request. I don't want any trouble to occur during the arrest of these traitors. Can you do it?"

"can!"

Wei Zhongxian replied.

At present, there are not many factories in the East Jiji Factory in Beijing. Most of them are sent to various places in Beizhili to investigate the gang of traitors involved in Huangzhuang.

To say there is no pressure is false.

But for Wei Zhongxian, does he have any other solution besides facing the difficulties?

Two newcomers have emerged in the inner court, one is in charge of the West Jishi Factory and the other is in charge of the Da Neihang Factory. If he, the eunuch Bingbi, the chief of etiquette, and the admiral of the East Jishi Factory, cannot do something to consolidate his position in the emperor's heart. position, then there will be no place for him in the inner court!

So no matter how difficult it is, Wei Zhongxian must take it, and he must do it beautifully!

"Your Majesty, I have a heartfelt request."

Cui Chengxiu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Wei Zhongxian, and then bowed to the emperor.

"speak."

Zhu You's speech is concise and concise.

"Given the large number of people involved in this case and the subsequent arrests of these people, further review will be conducted."

Cui Chengxiu spoke very quickly: "I would like to ask for advice on whether the case can be temporarily finalized in the Ministry of Punishment. This can ensure the stability of the situation. As for the captured traitors, they will be detained in the East Police Factory for review. , so that even if something is discovered in the future, the court will not be too passive."

Cui Chengxiu's words surprised Wei Zhongxian. Cui Chengxiu's doing this can indeed reduce some uncontrollable risks, but it is undeniable that in the case of gunpowder smuggling, the East Police Factory will also have to take away part of it. Of course, most of the credit falls on Wei Zhongxian.

This also made Wei Zhongxian feel better.

However, Wei Zhongxian will not give up his dissatisfaction with Cui Chengxiu so easily!

"Just do as you say!"

Zhu Youxiao said coldly: "First arrest all the traitors in the capital and Gyeonggi. As for where they will be involved later, we will arrest them later."

"I will definitely not let this matter go!"

"So much gunpowder has been smuggled out. It's fine if it's within the territory of our Ming Dynasty. If it dares to flow into the border fortress, or even under the rule of Jianlu, then even if they are all executed in Lingchi, it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in my heart! !”

Zhu Youxiao didn't care at all about what Cui Chengxiu was thinking. He would definitely keep an eye on the gunpowder smuggling case. Anyone involved in it would have nothing to do with them.

If these scumbags are not uprooted, it will be impossible for Ming Dynasty to change for the better.

There is only one thing. In the past, the Ming Dynasty closed all the border fortresses in order to seal off the Jianlu. This not only caused the court to lose a lot of profits, but also caused northern Xinjiang to be plundered by the Mongolian Tatars frequently. For this reason, the Ming Dynasty The price paid is high, but what is the result?

Instead of being sealed off, the Jianlu rebels became more and more rampant. In just a few years, they occupied a large area of ​​Liaodong and even killed an unknown number of people during this period.

If it weren't for a group of scum behind this, these tragedies wouldn't have happened!

What Zhu Youxiao has to do now is not only to sort out the chaos of the Ming Dynasty, but also to find out all these scum. Even if the means used are not glorious, there is no need to talk about benevolence, justice and morality when dealing with animals!
