Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

"It feels really uncomfortable to sit here where there are piles of gunpowder barrels!"

Tian Ergen left. In the huge Dongnuan Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao sat on the throne. Thinking of all the arrangements made by Jianlu, his face showed a bit of sadness.

Jianlu was dishonest from a very early age, but no one in the Ming Dynasty took Jianlu seriously. He was either busy fighting against dissenters, opportunistic, or engaging in malpractice for personal gain. After Jianlu rose strongly in Liaodong, everything seemed to be too late.

Even if a country is large and prone to war, it will perish.

Although the world is safe, if you forget to fight, you will be in danger!

A cold light flashed across Zhu Youxiao's eyes. He was now extremely convinced that the previously clear strategy against Liao was correct. If he did not seek a military breakthrough to achieve a great victory and show his majesty, he would not be able to break through the political cage. !

Killing and arresting simply and crudely, a tyrant at this level is too low-level.

The tyrant he wants to be is a tyrant who has absolute control over the military.

In this way, even when the great purge is launched, no matter how many groups' interests are touched, or even some monsters want to jump around and rebel, he can still suppress them with the power of thunder!

"Your Majesty, Li Ruolian, pays homage to your Majesty!"

While Zhu Youxiao was thinking about it, Li Ruolian, who was summoned by Liu Ruoyu, the eunuch of Qianqing Palace, walked into Dongnuan Pavilion with his head lowered and bowed respectfully.

"No gifts."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Ruolian and said calmly: "How is the Luan Guard's order now?"

"Your Majesty, the renovation has been initially completed."

Li Ruolian reported truthfully: "Nearly a thousand people who were originally affiliated with Jinyiwei's front, rear, left, right, middle and five stations were eliminated, and the remaining people were scattered and reorganized. Now Luanwei's five stations are intensifying their training, and the missing personnel have been screened and recruited. , within two months at the latest, Luan Wei will not only be able to fully take over the Imperial Guard, but will also be able to perform supervisory duties."

"It's too slow, hold on tighter."

Zhu Youxiao frowned and said: "If nothing else, at least the supervision of the capital and the secret department under the Luan Guard must establish a framework. I specially promoted you to be the commander of the Luan Guard, not just to take over the Imperial Guard."

"I understand."

Li Ruolian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will handle it as soon as possible."

The struggle on the hidden front has always been extremely fierce.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he must have a smooth source of intelligence. Factory guards alone are not enough. There must be an absolutely loyal team active in invisible places.

The Luan Guard is nominally affiliated with the Royal Forbidden Army, but in fact it obeys the emperor's orders. This is a surprise army planned by Zhu Youxiao for himself.

According to Zhu Youxiao's overall vision, the main responsibility of Luanwei in the future will be to carry out special operations such as spying, assassination, and instigating rebellion, becoming the sharpest national sword of the Ming Dynasty. After all, if Zhu Youxiao can really solve internal and external troubles, the Ming Dynasty will once again Once the central government rises, it will be impossible to only control the existing territory.

It is now a period of rapid expansion in the Age of Discovery. The pirates in the continent of Europa, who are disguised as gentlemen, are all reaping the dividends of the great voyage. As the orthodox dynasty of China, they must also participate.

No matter what, if that day really comes, Zhu Youxiao must recreate the pattern of Qiuye Begonia, and even control the Southeast Asian lands to build a Chinese civilization circle with China as the main body!

This is precisely the case. Luanwei must be in the hands of trustworthy people. Li Ruolian's loyalty is unquestionable. During the Jiashen national crisis in the original timeline, this was a hero who was loyal to the Ming Dynasty!

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was very relieved when Luan Wei was handed over to Li Ruolian.

However, the food must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step. At present, Luan Wei is still in the stage of accumulating knowledge. It will take time for him to take on heavier responsibilities.

"hurry up!!"

When Zhu Youxiao made a request to Li Ruolian in Dongnuan Pavilion, Fang Zhenghua, who was wearing a red python robe in the area of ​​Qianqing Gate at that time, rushed towards Qianqing Palace with a serious expression. Behind Fang Zhenghua, several people followed They were young eunuchs, holding stacks of files and following closely behind their master.

How dare they!

It’s simply lawless!

Fang Zhenghua's mood at this moment seemed a little abnormal, but all of this was caused by the pursuit of Huangzhuang in Shuntian Mansion Realm.

Originally, according to Fang Zhenghua's idea, he would wait until all the imperial villages in Shuntian Mansion were put in order by their Western Police Department before reporting the situation to his prince.

However, as Gao Shiming and Li Fengxiang led a team to investigate various parts of Shuntian Prefecture, and the findings were summarized in the capital, Fang Zhenghua was completely shocked.

Huangzhuang is already rotten!

They occupied tens of thousands of acres of Huangzhuang's land.

Secretly colluding with officials and gentry from various places to occupy more than 100,000 acres of civilian land!

Maintaining domestic servants who bully the market, forcing girls into prostitution, buying and selling by force... This was still not searched specifically, but was found in various places in Shuntian Prefecture without much effort.

More than half of the eunuchs and stewards of the Imperial Mansion under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Mansion were involved. This shocked Fang Zhenghua, but he also knew that he could not make the final decision on this matter.

"My slave Fang Zhenghua, please pay your respects to the Emperor!!"

When he hurried to the Dongnuan Pavilion, Fang Zhenghua faced countless stares and did not rush in. Instead, he lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, kneeling towards the Dongnuan Pavilion.

The young eunuchs who followed were all kneeling on the ground with their heads lowered.

"come in."

When Fang Zhenghua was thinking about what to say, a voice sounded in Dongnuan Pavilion. Fang Zhenghua didn't dare to hesitate, got up and walked towards the palace.

Li Ruolian, who was still staying in the palace, was nowhere to be seen at this moment.

"What happened? Are you so panicked?"

Seeing Fang Zhenghua walk in, Zhu Youxiao frowned and said, "But has the thorough investigation of the Imperial Mansion in Shuntian Mansion yielded any results?"

"This slave is guilty, please punish me."

Fang Zhenghua took advantage of the situation and knelt down on the ground, kneeling before the emperor.

It seems like it's not a small matter.

Seeing Fang Zhenghua like this, Zhu Youxiao frowned even more tightly.

"Tell me something!"

"Your Majesty, we have a thorough investigation of the Imperial Mansion in Shuntian Mansion and we have some clues."

Fang Zhenghua did not dare to hesitate, and then stated truthfully: "The situation is more serious than imagined. I have ordered someone to list down the corresponding evidence of the crime. Please take a look at it."

When talking about this, several eunuchs who followed in lowered their heads nervously. Liu Ruoyu, who was serving in front of the emperor, saw this and walked quickly towards them.

Seeing the piles of files, Zhu Youxiao's mood became very bad.

His intuition told him that the things recorded on it would make him furious after reading it.

Time seems to stand still at this moment.

The atmosphere in Dongnuan Pavilion became subtle.

Fang Zhenghua, who was kneeling on the ground, felt uneasy, but he remained calm. After some time, the atmosphere in Dongnuan Pavilion suddenly changed.

"How dare they!!"

Zhu Youxiao threw the file in his hand angrily and said with difficulty: "It's just a matter of occupying the Huangzhuang's land, but he actually dared to collude with local officials, gentry and businessmen, occupy the people's land, and did all kinds of evil things. They forced hundreds of people to death? Why have these never been reported to the imperial court before!!"

Liu Ruoyu and Fang Zhenghua lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.

"Scum! No!! They are just beasts!! Beasts in human skin!!"

Zhu Youxiao was extremely angry, and looked at Fang Zhenghua with his cold eyes, "I will arrest all these beasts, including those who follow them to do evil. No one will be spared!!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Fang Zhenghua hurriedly bowed in response, but after a moment of hesitation, Fang Zhenghua said anxiously: "Your Majesty, will the local officials involved in the case also be arrested?"

"Didn't I make it clear enough?"

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly and said: "Arrest all these beasts, magistrate? They are worthy! Arrest them together with their families and give me a good interrogation. I want to know how many evil things they have committed!! "

"My slave understands!"

Fang Zhenghua said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I will arrange the manpower now."

There are so many nasty things hidden under the nose.

Zhu Youxiao stared at the files on the imperial case. He could not suppress the anger he felt. He thought that a thorough investigation of the Shuntian Palace would only involve the eunuchs and eunuchs sent from the inner court. He did not expect that these places Officials, gentry, merchants and other groups were also involved.

This is really an era of cannibalism.

Zhu Youxiao clenched his fists tightly. He knew that there were many demons and monsters, but he didn't expect that there would be so many and they would do such terrible things. If that's the case, there's nothing to say. Just kill every one you catch. No. Kill these greedy people, and even if Ming Dynasty is not finished, it will be overthrown by the exploited bottom! !
