Your Majesty, after he played stupid and overturned the car

Yubei's quick play caused a storm in Yijing. Lu Yunchuan walked through the streets in his normal clothes. The people hadn't heard the news yet, and the noise was still there.

In Jinghongfang, Jiang Zhou had just arrived in Yijing, his black clothes were covered with ashes, before he had time to wash, he heard the clerk that the master was coming, so he hurried out covered in ashes.

"Master!" Jiang Zhou called out, "I didn't find you when I went down to the house."

Lu Yunchuan didn't go back to the mansion very often, the house was vacant, he nodded and said: "I'm looking for something, tell me."

When it came to business, Jiang Zhou said solemnly: "There are a lot of investigations. First, it was reported to the master earlier, and the assassin got mixed into the palace. There is also the master's order to investigate the business of the brothel. The sale of young children is not limited to the Jinyanlou family. Others Brothels also do this business."

"My subordinates have tracked down several buyers. Except for some rich people, there are also many merchants from northern Xinjiang. Daliang and Northern Xinjiang have been at war for many years, but they still have business contacts with each other. Many children are attracted by these northern Xinjiang merchants. I bought it, and the subordinates made their own decisions, intercepted some children, and sent them to Lingxi."

"But my subordinates found that there was something wrong with these people from northern Xinjiang." Jiang Zhou thought for a moment before continuing: "My subordinates have asked several brothels, and they all said that this group of people only buy children."

Lu Yunchuan immediately narrowed his eyes, and thoughtfully said: "As long as the child."

Jiang Zhou nodded, "As for the matter of the Jinyan Tower, my subordinates haven't investigated it yet. These two people seem to have appeared out of thin air. That Ah Jin didn't know anything at all.

Enter Liang Ji. "

Lu Yunchuan was already thinking about it, so he didn't stay any longer, got up and left.

After the imperial decree issued in the Ming Dynasty to reward meritorious ministers, Wen Bojing led his army back to Jiangdong, taking away Ye Zi'an who had been stranded in Beijing for several months.Ye Zi'an naturally had some meritorious service, but he had no intention of being an official, and he could not be sealed. Ming Wanzhao rewarded his elder brother, and was promoted from Ji Xun Division of the Ministry of Rites to be a minister of the Ministry of Rites.

After the early court, Ming Wanzhao stayed a few people in Chengming Pavilion to discuss tax reduction.

Except Ye Danran, Qiao Zihan, Su Jingci and other young officials, Xing Ye and Shen Lin were also there, but Su Jinhuai was not there.

Ming Wanzhao went to change the court clothes, so he was a step late. He raised his hand to avoid the salutes of several people. After sitting in the high position, he first said to Su Jingci gently: "Yesterday Su Yushi handed over the note and said that he was recuperating due to illness. Today Is it better?"

Su Jingci got up and replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. My father is old and weak, and there is no serious problem right now."

"That's good." Ming Wanzhao nodded and signaled him to sit down, as gentle as if he wasn't the emperor who killed Yue Tinggu and scolded all his officials in Chaolu Palace.

Su Jinhuai has always been in poor health, Ming Wanzhao knew it well, Ye Zi'an also went to take a look before leaving, saying that he was overworked and sick from overwork, he and Lu Zuoxian fought hard and secretly, and now that he is getting older, he will always find him when he is sick come to your door.

Just mentioning this sentence, Ming Wanzhao started talking about serious matters with several people.

He has personally seen the accounts of the Ministry of Households, as well as the revenue and expenditure recorded by Su Jingci secretly. The land tax is not small, and the land tax collected is not small. As long as there is no natural disaster, the national treasury will not be empty. It's just that the aristocratic family has moved too much these years, and there is even an unwritten rule that in addition to the taxes stipulated by the court, additional taxes must be paid.

"The people are rich so they can afford the tax." Ming Wanzhao said in a gentle voice, "I see that there is a lot of wasteland in Yijing, and the wasteland is also deserted. It's better to give it to the people. If they want to cultivate it, then the tax for that year will be reduced or exempted."

This was a reform that Ming Rong Zhou wanted to carry out but failed to complete. It was because of the mobilization of taxes and wasteland that it completely angered the aristocratic family and was even poisoned to death in the palace.

Ming Wanzhao mentioned at this time that the young officials might not know it, but Xing Ye and Shen Lin knew it in their hearts. They looked at each other and sighed silently at the same time.

When Emperor Angan was not enthroned, he was a down-to-earth idle prince. He was just enjoying flowers and birds, playing with Qi Yanxing, not playing with the dandy young master, but he was full of poetic charm all day long.But after sitting on the dragon chair, they realized that this seemingly useless prince just didn't want brothers to fight.

"I think it's feasible." Xing Ye said in a loud voice, "It's been so long, it should be cleared up."

"Since that's the case." Ming Wanzhao said with a warm smile, "The household department is temporarily in charge of Mr. Xing, and this matter will be handled by you and Su Shilang."

Su Jingci was also promoted from the doctor to be a servant, and such an important errand was brought to him, the emperor's intention was obvious, he wanted to praise the son of Su Yushi.

Xing Ye and Su Jingci had no objection, and got up to receive the order.

Ming Wanzhao looked at Xu Zhiwei again. This person was probably the youngest minister. Since the last time the city wall collapsed, Ming Wanzhao had noticed this person. He was from the Imperial Academy, and he had also seen the drawings of farm tools and chariots he designed. It was really ingenious. .

"Master Xu." Ming Wanzhao called out.

Xu Zhiwei has a gentle temper and never dared to say anything, when he was suddenly named and almost spilled the tea on the case, he immediately responded: "The minister is here!"

"The plowing tools and the previous ballista should be completed as soon as possible, and the ballista will be sent to the Ministry of War when it is ready."

Ming Wanzhao's gentle tone made Xu Zhiwei relax a bit, and immediately nodded like pecking rice, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the ballista will be completed in a day or two, and the agricultural tools will have to wait another three to five days, but this year's farming time After that, there is plenty of time.”

When the discussion was over, it was almost noon, Ming Wanzhao ordered the imperial dining room to prepare lunch in Chengming Pavilion, and then he got up and left first.

"Our Majesty, not only looks like Lord An, but also has a temper." Xing Ye said with a smile.

Shen Lin quite agreed, nodded and said: "After all, it was taught by Mr. An himself, but it's a pity..." He suddenly stopped, did not continue, but

The topic changed, "I don't know what happened to Her Royal Highness, but it's better to find His Royal Highness as soon as possible."

Although today's son can't make mistakes, it's a big deal to have no heirs, and it's fine if there are collaterals, but now he can't find anyone for adoptive successors.

Su Jingci added a root of green vegetables, and he ate meticulously. After swallowing it, he continued, "Your Majesty doesn't mention this himself, and we don't have to worry about it. He must have made up his mind."

Xing Ye and Shen Lin looked at each other, and said in unison: "Yes."

Only Xu Zhiwei didn't dare to speak while holding the bowl, thinking secretly.

Everyone knows about the incident between His Majesty and Governor Lu, even if the body is not damaged, I am afraid that the child will not be born...

As soon as Ming Wanzhao entered the Qihua Palace, he saw Lu Yunchuan waiting here, he raised his brows slightly, ordered Bai Tan to pass on the meal, and entered the door and said: "Aren't the imperial guards busy? Why are you entering the palace at this hour."

"I have something to tell you." Lu Yunchuan stepped forward and held the little emperor's fingertips. Since he stopped using the black bone leaf, even the perennially cold fingertips have warmed up.

Ming Wanzhao looked down at the hand being held, and raised his head with a half-smile, "So tell me?"

Lu Yunchuan didn't change his face, and didn't let go, he led the person to sit, but said: "It's business."

Before Ming Wanzhao asked what was the business, the servants from the palace came in one file at a time, and it wasn't until Bai Tan led the palace people back that Lu Yunchuan refilled Ming Wanzhao's soup and said, "Let's eat first, we're done eating!" Tell you."

Ming Wanzhao eats neatly and doesn't taste much, after all, he doesn't feel hungry after eating, but he eats fast but looks polite.It wasn't until the palace people entered and removed the tables that Lu Yunchuan explained to him what Jiang Zhou had checked.

"As long as the child is bought, go to Northern Xinjiang." Lu Yunchuan pointedly pointed out, "Those people that Lu Feichi brought into the palace a few days ago were people from Jianghu who had a human face but spoke the language of Northern Xinjiang, and even the one from the winter solstice. Today's assassins, I'm afraid they all come from this."

"That's right." Ming Wanzhao frowned thoughtfully, "Bought the children of the Liang people, and then trained them as dead men to send them back. It will not be too long. If this matter

It is true, I am afraid that 20 years ago, people in northern Xinjiang started to do it, and we didn't realize it. "

"No wonder you guys." Lu Yunchuan sighed.

Not to mention 20 years, nearly 30 years, the interior of Daliang has been in chaos, the emperor is just a famous person, and the aristocratic families who are really in power have wine pools and meat forests, only caring about pleasure, and even forced the refugees in Longnan to become rebels. luckily.

If it hadn't been for the death of Northern Xinjiang King Ha Yi in Daliang, Northern Xinjiang had been split into two since then, and there were also internal struggles, and Daliang would not have persisted until today.

Ming Wanzhao was silent for a while, and said: "Over the years, I don't know how many nails have been inserted into the beam."

"It's mostly inconspicuous, such as defecting to Lu's subordinates. It's ridiculous that Lu Zuoxian was so smart all his life that he didn't even know that he recruited a lot of dark makeup into the mansion." Lu Yunchuan sneered at first, and then comforted him, "People with unknown origins are so easy to steal Nail in silently, otherwise the city guards will open the city gates wide and welcome the soldiers from the northern border to enter the city. The forbidden army has also searched for many days, and they can find out the details, and there is absolutely no fish that slipped through the net."

"Northern Xinjiang has gone to great lengths to train dead soldiers and send them back to Daliang. It will definitely not be a mess." Ming Wanzhao curled up his fingertips, and Shen Ling said: "Someone should give them an order. If they can catch a leader, they will be killed." Can catch a net of fish."

After saying that, he sighed softly again, "I think there should be news from Yubei in the past few days. The nails buried in the beam will definitely not be conducive to the war between the two countries."

Beijiang's trick is really poisonous. Ming Wanzhao has experienced several assassinations in the palace, not only him, but also Ming Rongzhou, who almost became a frightened bird. He kept guessing who would do it, but he never expected it to be People from northern Xinjiang.

He considered for a while, and suddenly said: "Since the people of Northern Xinjiang buy children batch by batch from the brothels, they will order strict investigations everywhere. No matter whether they are merchants in Northern Xinjiang, they are not allowed to buy and sell children. Anyone who sells himself into it must be reported to the government. , although it is not possible to pull out the dark make-up in Northern Xinjiang right now, at least this line must be broken first."

"That's right. Jiang Zhou intercepted a group of children during his investigation." Lu Yunchuan nodded in agreement, "On the bright side, the court is staring at them, but there must be hidden clues to prevent them from taking secret paths."

Ming Wanzhao nodded in agreement.

Lu Yunchuan didn't stay long, and left in a hurry without saying a few words.

Ming Wanzhao is under the eaves, the sky is sunny and bright, but he is in the treacherous turmoil, and if he is not careful, he will be in the abyss.
