Zhu Cihong went out of the palace and went straight to the Criminal Ministry. He did not bring the imperial army, but asked Li Huazhen to take the Dongchang fan and escort him all the way to the penalty department.
Zhu Cihong went out of the palace suddenly, naturally alarming too many people.
With such a big event yesterday, the emperor personally went out of the palace today, so many people were shocked, with a pair of eyes, all staring at Zhu Cihong's party.
The first one to know was in the palace, and Zhou Yanru, the chief minister of the cabinet.
Fan Wenjing hurriedly came to his class room and said: "Yuanfu, the emperor is out of the palace, and I haven't had time to see Grandpa Li. The emperor does not allow anyone to approach, and he walks very fast."
Although Zhou Yanru was surprised, he didn't seem to be shocked. He thought for a while and said: "The emperor should have noticed something too, and wants to see it with his own eyes."
After such a long time, almost everyone realized that this'Golden Luang Temple Assassination' was unusual, and it was inevitable to be suspicious.
Fan Wenjing was worried, and said, "Yuanfu, on the side of Zheng Xibo, will he..."
He didn't finish his sentence, and his meaning was very clear. Will Zhou Zheng resort to falsification? Will any mistakes be discovered by the emperor? Zhou Zheng did such a big thing, and it was clear that he was trying to seize power. If he was pierced by the emperor at this time, how would Zhou Zheng react
Zhou Yanru tightened his brows, his expression solemn.
Now the entire capital city is under Zhou Zheng's control. No one can stop what Zhou Zheng wants to do, not to mention such a good excuse!
Zhou Yanru's eyes flickered and then flickered, and suddenly stood up and said, "Go to the Criminal Ministry."
Fan Wenjing was startled and said, "My lord, go now? The emperor didn't call him."
Zhou Yanru couldn't take care of that much, and said: "Come with me, no matter what happens at that time, you must stop the emperor or Zhou Zhengyun."
The monarchy and the prime minister have always been an interdependent and mutually restrictive relationship. This relationship has been constantly challenged with development. From the abolition of the prime minister by Zhu Yuanzhang to the mature development of the cabinet during the Wanli period, it was quite repeated.
Zhou Zhengyun clearly wanted to be Zhang Juzheng. If the little emperor couldn't tolerate him, he couldn't resist but he didn't know how to forbear to tear his face apart, what would Zhou Zheng do
Zhou Yanru didn't dare to think, he must stop this possibility!
Fan Wenjing hurriedly followed, but there was no one or adjustable force.
The two of them hurried out of the palace one after another, chasing Zhu Cihong towards the Xing Department.
Every move in the palace couldn't escape Zhou Zheng's eyes, and intelligence gathered from everywhere to Zhou Mansion.
Zhou Zheng actually didn't sleep for long. He was awakened by the noise outside. After washing his face, he saw Zhang Heyi standing under the steps, raising her hand, and said solemnly: "My lord, the emperor has gone to the torture department.
The word'suddenly' has already pointed out this matter.
Zhou Zheng shook his head to clear his mind, and said, "How is it in Sichuan?"
Zhang Heyi was startled. Why did he get to Sichuan
However, he still said: "The official document that came last night said that they had encountered some trouble. Qin Liangyu and Cao Bianjiao did not make much progress in their joint forces. They were dragged by the chieftain at the border between Guichuan and Sichuan."
Zhou Zheng looked at the northwest direction, paused, and said: "Li Banghua has taken Zuo Liangyu, Liu Liangzuo has left Beijing, and ordered them to rush to Sichuan to stabilize Sichuan."
Sichuan is behind Shaanxi, and at the same time there is huge pressure on Guizhou and Huguang. If the officers and soldiers stand here, then the bandits will be contained.
Zhang Heyi responded, and looked up at Zhou Zheng again, saying: "Then, you go to the Criminal Ministry..."
Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "As if I don't know."
Zhang Heyi was a little puzzled, stepped forward, and whispered: "My lord, the emperor is already suspicious about this matter. If the criminal ministry reveals a flaw, we have to find a way to fix it."
Zhou Zheng moved his sore shoulders, looked at the blue sky, and said leisurely: "First, don't underestimate Li Hengbing. Second, even if there are flaws, someone will make up for us. Third, even if the repair is not good, you can How?"
Zhang Heyi suddenly woke up and laughed with him: "What the adults said is that the students think too much. Regarding the military reform, the Ministry of War has already discussed it and will submit a letter to the cabinet today."
Zhou Zheng put down his arm and said, "You go to see Li Rixuan and ask him to write a letter, telling him how to deal with these vassals and what plans he will have in the future."
Li Rixuan, official secretary.
Zhang Heyi thought about it and said, "My lord, can he listen to us?"
Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "I'll listen. Tell him, I want all the princes to return to the fief, return to Beijing, and live in the Ten Princes' Mansion. One Prince's mansion is ten thousand taels a year. Other weddings and funerals will be handled by themselves. ."
Zhang Heyi was startled, and said, "My lord, do you want to finish it all at once?"
Which of these princes does not have tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, how can he let it go? They have to move back to the capital and be locked up in the Ten Princes' Mansion. Ten thousand taels a year. Weddings and funerals will be dealt with by themselves. This is simply driving them to death!
Let alone the vassal princes, the court would not agree, let alone the emperor!
Zhang Heyi and others knew that they wanted to attack the clan, but they didn't expect it to be so cruel and so fast!
Zhou Zheng breathed the early morning air and said: "We have too many things, we don't have time to spend time with them."
Zhang Heyi thought about the current situation, and then nodded: "Yes. The students understand, now go to the staff."
Zhou Zheng hummed, turned around and shouted into the room: "Get Ke'er something to eat. I'll take him out to play later."
Shangguanqing didn't know whether he was happy or unhappy, so he didn't answer anyway.
Zhang Heyi hurried away.
At this moment, Zhu Cihong had already brought people to the Criminal Ministry.
The Ministry of Criminal Affairs is where the Third Division is located, the Superintendent, and the officials of Dali Temple dare not come forward and come to see you in a panic.
Kou Huaiyi, Ma Shiying raised his hand to salute.
Zhu Cihong ignored them at all and said directly: "Where is King Lu, I want to see him."
Chen Zhaozhong said: "Your Majesty, please come with the minister."
Chen Zhaozhong led the way and looked at Li Hengbing cautiously.
Li Hengbing was expressionless, and followed Zhu Cihong not far behind.
With a sullen face and strangely fast steps, Zhu Cihong ran straight to the cell of King Lu and the others.
Li Zhong was a little uneasy, but he didn't dare to say more, and walked inside with Zhu Cihong.
As soon as Zhu Cihong came in, the cell was quiet for a while, and then there was a cry of grievances. I don't know how many hands stretched out the cell, trying to catch Zhu Cihong.
Zhu Cihong was taken aback, and quickly stretched, biting his scalp and walking inside.
The jailer stopped the stick, knocked one by one, and berated the prisoners.
But the cries did not decrease much, on the contrary, they became louder.
Chen Zhaozhong led Zhu Cihong into a clean cell.
In the cell, King Lu, King Dai, and King Xiang were already standing in front of the cell. Behind them was a table of food and wine.
"See your majesty for criminal officials." The three of them knelt down tremblingly as they saw Zhu Cihong coming over.
After a night, they also want to understand that there is no way to survive, only to survive a few children in the family.
Zhu Cihong looked at the food and drinks in their room, and then looked at them in clean prison uniforms, white and fat, with no signs of torment. He snatched the confession from Li Zhong's hand and said angrily: "These confessions are true?"
King Lu raised his head, glanced, and said: "The criminal minister only drew a confession, which is true." (End of this chapter)
