[Ming History + Legend of Lu Xiaofeng] Ninety-five Supreme

Regarding Feng Bao's ransacking of the house, the Empress Dowager Cisheng unexpectedly had no news, and she still chanted Buddhist scriptures in the Buddhist hall of the Cining Palace every day.

Dongchang Dali Temple is closed and protected, and Feng Bao's family property is jaw-dropping.The white silver bills blinded all the ministers of the household department.

More than 400 million taels of silver, more than 200 sets of real estate, and [-] hectares of land.The annual tax revenue of the imperial court is not much more than this.

Feng Baoshang is like this, so what about Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Siwei couldn't wait any longer. He didn't believe that the emperor could still favor Zhang Juzheng after seeing Zhang Juzheng's double-faced and three-handed face.Thinking of the second edict, a fire of jealousy ignited in my heart.He lifted his foot and went out, towards the palace.

Zhu Yijun had already been in Yuntai, and Qi Jiguang would leave the capital soon, and it would be a long time since he left.Qi Jiguang's ability is not how many victories he has won, but the advanced military reform and the use of perfect firearms.

"General Qi, Lihuabai who just opened the altar, you came at the right time."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for coming late." Qi Jiguang said seriously.

Zhu Yijun smiled, asked him to sit down, and poured him a glass of wine himself. "The general is the protagonist today, and I'm here to see you off. Just have a drink with me."

Qi Jiguang is not hypocritical, the three imperial edicts can be said to be proud of the spring breeze, and the highest level of a military commander is also like this.Seeing that the order for the transfer was delayed, he was worried that the emperor would annoy Mr. Zhang, and even him.At this moment, seeing that the emperor still treats him as kindly as before, all the troubles of recent days are completely gone.

Qi Jiguang said: "I heard that the emperor is most willing to ride. Can the emperor use the two steeds presented by the minister?"

Zhu Yijun shook his head and said helplessly, "Without a general, a fierce horse is hard to tame."

Qi Jiguang smiled heartily, and said: "Then take Wu Xueya to breed the horse, and I will send you a better god horse when I come back."

He thought, the emperor is going to do big things, so what about playing around?A man doesn't like riding and shooting, but likes beauty, and doesn't like beauty, but likes drinking and feasting.In the past, when he saw that Zhang Juzheng wanted to control the emperor in everything, he didn't think much of it but he didn't have the nerve to say it out.

A few years ago, the Duoyan tribe rebelled. Although there was a small group of rebels, they were occupied by Dong Huli at the entrance of Xifeng. Qi Jiguang defeated them. Now Duoyan no one dares to provoke him.

If it was Li Chengliang, he would probably kill everyone, and he would pull his horse and kill them without waiting for the Duoyan tribe to retaliate.I haven't seen other places that are very quiet, but his great northwest has been repeatedly troubled by soldiers.

Zhu Yijun likes to listen to the stories of marching. Compared with Liu Dadao boasting about how he walked in the battlefield, Qi Jiguang is more real. From the foot of Taihang Mountain to the upper reaches of the Yellow River, thousands of miles of snow mountains, soldiers contend, wolves scream and eagles fly.

Qi Jiguang is a famous Confucian general, although he is not a fierce general like Li Chengliang who rides into the enemy's formation alone and captures the enemy's general with his hands, but he is more on the march and arrangement of tactics.

"Don't worry, I will never owe you military expenses. As long as you can hold the border, I will be able to straighten out Daming."

With a solemn face, Qi Jiguang said: "Don't worry, your majesty, you will be able to keep it."

Zhu Yijun smiled.

Liang Yong went in and out of the Yuntai to report several times, but Zhu Yijun didn't respond, he just asked people to wait outside the hall. After a while, nearly ten courtiers gathered outside the hall.

Qi Jiguang is a bold and domineering general, although he is old, he doesn't look fierce at all.On his battlefield, the soldiers and horses have lived their lives, and there have been many winds and snows, only the blood is beating.

Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "General Qi, I really want to go to the border gate."

Qi Jiguang was startled, then laughed loudly, and said: "As long as the emperor dares, come!"

When Zhang Siwei came in, Qi Jiguang had already come out of the cloud platform, but he just happened to bump into him.

He didn't wait to see Qi Jiguang, but he did enough on the surface, smiled and said: "General Qi, don't come here without any problems."

Qi Jiguang didn't have Zhang Siwei's self-cultivation, he looked down on Zhang Panfeng's rebellious boy from the bottom of his heart, and snorted: "Shang Ke, Mr. Zhang must have been waiting for a long time." After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands and turned around, only stopping when he met Yu Shenxing Nodding his head, the rest of the courtiers strode away without looking sideways. Now that he has great fame and power, no one dares to stop him.

Zhang Siwei's face darkened, and the air froze for two seconds before he walked away.He didn't expect Qi Jiguang to disrespect him so much, he really is a big and rough boss.

After Zhu Yijun settled his posture, he sat leisurely on the chair, with Zhao Meng's inscription on the table, snacks, black silver jug, and carved amber cup were all removed.

"The Yuntai is cool, but today it's hot, and it's still a little popular."

Someone answered: "Your Majesty, this is righteousness." The one who spoke was a middle-aged official in white pheasant official uniform.I saw him as thin as an onion, with pale eyebrows and mouse eyes, high cheekbones and a pointed chin.He is Li Zhi, the supervisory censor who works in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Zhu Yijun's eyes darkened, and he was speechless.He didn't like Li Zhi, except that he was not good-looking and was a meddlesome person who always liked to disturb troubles, but he had no skills.

When Zhang Juzheng was in power, he wished to replace all the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate with his own staff. Among the hundreds of censors, some hated him and some were grateful to him, but the Ming Dynasty never lacked people who dared to be the first in the world.

Zhu Yijun didn't want to bring up this topic, so he waited patiently for them to finish speaking. Seeing that everyone's voices had gradually lowered, he said lightly: "The dry season is the end of autumn, and the rainy season is continuous. A typhoon struck Shandong, and seven grain ships sank. Let’s stop at Jimo. It’s not suitable to transport grain in late autumn, so I’ve decided that next year’s water transport will start in winter.”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone jumped out to object, Guangxi Dao Yushi, Luo Zun.

"Your Majesty, this is a warning from the heavens. If there is no reverence, the heavens will send disasters."

Zhu Yijun retracted his eyes and couldn't help rolling his eyes. Luo Zun couldn't grasp the point every time, and always talked about the disaster.It is obviously a matter of natural effects, but it cannot be said that this is wrong. In this era, feudal superstition is deeply rooted, and the so-called sky is already a kind of belief.

Luo Zun is Zhang Juzheng's disciple, although he only recognizes death.Someone told him that Zhang Juzheng's implementation of the New Deal would be of great benefit to the imperial court.Luo Zun knew that he knew it in his heart, but he said that he was not a loyal minister, he was the chief assistant, he was greedy and his subordinates followed, and no matter how capable he was, sooner or later the big things would be ruined.

He told Hai Rui that although Hai Rui resented Zhang Juzheng for suppressing and disliked his actions for many years, he did not actively participate in the impeachment of him, but watched with a cold eye.This made Zhu Yijun feel comforted, he really deserves to be Hai Qingtian.

He had discussed it with others beforehand, and he did it as soon as the final decision was made, which made Luo Zun and the others turn pale.

Zhang Siwei shook his head, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you still remember Fu Yingzhen, the Yushi of Henan Province in the third year of Wanli."

Zhu Yijun thought for a while, then frowned and said, "The king of Shangshu, Duke Jing, said the 'three deficiencies'."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Siwei knelt on the ground with a 'shua'. The bright red official robe lined his face, making him look more stern and stubborn.

In recent days, he has refreshed his understanding of Zhang Siwei's conservative and stubborn personality.

For example, he asked the Metropolitan Procuratorate to thoroughly investigate Zhang Juzheng.

And let the cabinet sort out his past memorials.

For several days in succession, people came to him in turn.

Zhu Yijun still remembers receiving Zhang Siwei's handwritten letter half a month ago, and the incriminating evidence one by one made people stagger.

He still remembers that Zhang Juzheng dispatched Fu Yingzhen to Jiangning back then, saying that Wang Anshi's three shortcomings belonged to the Song Dynasty, and the king Jinggong of our Ming Dynasty was Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Siwei let out a long sigh, and said: "The emperor is going to implement the new coup, is he really going to drive us all to death?"

As soon as this remark came out, half of the people behind Zhang Siwei knelt on the ground, which was really a mess.Zhu Yijun had a headache and said: "Aiqing is worrying too much, I have absolutely no intention of doing so."

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty did not like to talk about officials, but they were indispensable.The attitudes of the censors are often scaled by the rules of the ancestors, and they never understand the truth that the world has no limits.

Zhang Siwei lowered his head and remained silent. After a while, he raised his head and sighed: "Your Majesty, the New Deal has the benefits of the New Deal. Judging from the achievements of the local officials, Shangzhu Kingdom has merit. Your Majesty knows that Shangzhu Kingdom is corrupt, acts arbitrarily and accepts bribes, is it because he was the emperor's teacher back then, taught the emperor carefully, and never left the imperial court?"

Zhang Siwei spoke lightly, but with Zhu Yijun's distasteful mockery in his tone, the emperor was partial to Zhang Juzheng and even the anti-Zhang faction was shaken. Now the people who support him are not as good as before, and he is also very disappointed in the emperor's actions.

When he said this, he played tricks on Zhu Yijun. The New Deal was a foregone conclusion, but the emperor's cover-up of his personal affairs made the officials even more angry.

They dared to speak against Zhu Yijun, because they didn't care, and the historian remembered his name so that his name would go down in history.

Zhu Yijun was gang-raped again, and felt angry.Thinking back a long time ago, when Zhang Juzheng asked him the way of governing the country, he took it for granted that loyal officials should rule the world. Although Zhang Juzheng didn't say anything at that time, he wanted to laugh at him in his heart.Make good use of straight ministers, if one day the monarch and his ministers disagree, they can only fight in the ring.

After a while, Zhang Siwei felt a little excited, as if he saw that calm and elegant man again—look, aren't you amazing?No one dares to speak for you when you are dead.

At this moment, when Yushi Li Zhi impeached Qi Jiguang for being arrogant and domineering again, Zhu Yijun said impatiently: "You are so powerful, I will send you to rule the army and replace Qi Jiguang, okay?"

Li Zhi was stunned, and looked straight at Zhu Yijun, apparently not expecting the emperor to ask such a question.

Zhu Yijun ignored him, and continued: "He is a general, do you think he knows how to fight?"

Li Zhi was dumbfounded.

"As long as he can defend Daming's country, that's fine."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zhang Siwei, with a deep meaning in his words.

As long as he can defend Daming's country, is that all right?What's the meaning.

The ministers were stunned, obviously they did not expect such shocking words from the emperor, they looked at Zhu Yijun with shock, blame and disappointment in their eyes, even Yu Shenxing and others looked at him with a little dissatisfaction.

The ancients repeated their names and practiced self-cultivation and integrity, but they did not expect that today's emperor is as pragmatic as Zhang Taiyue.

Zhu Yijun didn't take it seriously in his heart. If all the courtiers were high-spirited and paranoid officials who didn't understand the emperor's mind, then who would he turn to for his shady deeds?

He was also very bored. The Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate had a habit of asking him for arguments for everything, and he really should change it.

For a moment, only Zhang Siwei's hoarse voice was heard, and he shouted: "Your Majesty, my father is newly mourned, and I request Ding You to return home."

"allow."

Zhang Siwei left, and took a deep look at Zhu Yijun before leaving.

For a conservative and stubborn minister, if he does not want to make changes, such a monarch is bound to disappoint him.

Zhu Yijun felt depressed, and sent everyone away calmly.

On the second day, Zhang Siwei and Ding You returned to their hometown, and Li Zhi, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was dismissed from his post as a civilian, and he would never be used again.

A few days later, the court saw that the emperor was determined, and the officials who were gradually promoted by Zhu Yijun seemed to support him, and then gradually subsided.

Zhang Juzheng once said that the emperor's virtue is generous, and he cannot easily get angry with his courtiers. If one person's crime is to be discussed, it is not too much to kill him.

If he is a hero like Yongle, he can use massacres to shut up the civil officials; if he is a gentleman like Hongzhi, he can subtly turn the opinions of the civil officials; .If he can't command the conservative and old courtiers, what Zhu Yijun can do is to promote new people to support him, courtiers with innovative ideas and courage.

The Beijing inspection is approaching, Zhu Yijun strikes while the iron is hot, and asks Yin Zhengmao to replace Yang Bo as Minister of the Ministry of War. On the basis of the law, the officials who are not good at collecting taxes will be demoted to another level, and then the tax department will be opened...

Yu Shenxing and Shen Shixing accompanied him out of the cabinet. The news of Mr. Ge Shouli's return to his hometown had just spread throughout the yamen. The two looked at the empty cabinet and people left one after another, and they couldn't help sighing in disappointment.

At this time, a strutting servant with clear facial features came from the deep palace and blocked their way.

"Master Shoufu, the emperor invites Dongnuan Pavilion."

*

Besides, Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly left the palace that night, but it is unknown how he felt.When Lu Xiaofeng rushed back to the inn, he found that the building was empty, Huamanlou and Princess Danfeng were gone.

Lu Xiaofeng went to find Huo Tianqing, but met Huamanlou in Huo Xiu's small building, learned about the recent events from him, combined with the "facts" told by Zhu Yijun, he was so entangled in his heart.

Hua Manlou said calmly: "We are going to find Huo Xiu now, he is your friend and has always been good to you."

Hua Manlou already had a conclusion in his mind that Huo Xiu was the mastermind.

Lu Xiaofeng walked into the woods first, the chatter and troubles in the world of mortals were isolated outside the green hills, quietly disturbing Lu Xiaofeng.

He said coldly: "I know. Although I am often wronged by others, I have never wronged others."

He hoped to end this matter as soon as possible and expose this secret as soon as possible. Although he had a vague conclusion in his heart, he really didn't want that sinister and vicious landlord in Tsing Yi to be really his friend.

two hours later

It was early morning when they walked out of the mysterious cave.

The development and change of this strange thing is unimaginable, but it has also come to an end.

Playing chess with Taoist Qingfeng was quite a mind-consuming thing, afterwards Lu Xiaofeng found out that what he said were all lies.

Huo Xiu sat on the stone platform in the cave, and the opened jar of wine was obviously waiting for him.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't drink his wine this time, sighed and said: "I always thought that you were also a victim just like Yan Tieshan and Dugu, now I figured it out, the only one who can really benefit from this matter is you."

Huo Xiu nodded with a smile.

Lu Xiaofeng said again: "You used Huo Tianqing to kill King Jinpeng."

Huo Xiu nodded, and said: "Yes, he is a very good spender. He never knows the hard work of making money, but he keeps asking me for money."

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "You're lying again, I guess you didn't find King Jinpeng at all."

"You just want the treasure of King Jinpeng."

When Huo Xiu heard this, he stared at him like a knife out of its sheath.After an unknown amount of time, Huo Xiu burst out laughing and said, "It seems that nothing can be hidden from you."

Lu Xiaofeng was silent.

Lu Xiaofeng guessed that King Jinpeng was a fake, he was sure that the real King Jinpeng had already been imprisoned by Zhu Yijun, and not for a short time.

"Do I look like an idiot? Otherwise, why would everyone want to lie and use me." Lu Xiaofeng shook his head depressedly.

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Is Lu Xiaofeng an idiot?"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his body, and said leisurely: "No, I'm a genius." Lu Xiaofeng obviously thought that he had just solved a big case, he squatted outside the cage and looked at Huo Xiu, and saw that he bought two sausages for 5 taels and devoured them hungrily He is really worthy of being the richest man in the world.

Hua Manlou couldn't help but asked, "How did you guess that he was lying?"

Lu Xiaofeng was silent for a while, smiled like a fox, turned and left the cave.
