Chapter 539: The Emperor’s Support! The Prince of Han Is Threatening the Prefect!

Latest website:

"Sir, I'm afraid this isn't appropriate, is it?"

The Ministry of War official asked tentatively, not quite understanding what the Lord Minister meant.

To mobilize troops without an imperial edict would be treason!

Is there any reason to make it up after the fact?

Jin Zhong has been in charge of the Ministry of War for so many years, how could he not understand this truth?

Or is he also secretly colluding with the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, to cover for the King of Han?

Mr. Jin rolled his eyes at this guy. His eyes seemed to say that he had no vision at all.

"I will enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. I will prepare the order first!"

After giving a casual instruction, Jin Zhong hurriedly entered the palace to meet the saint.

Zhu Di was in a good mood at the moment. After inspecting the new capital of Peking, he confirmed that he would be able to move the capital to Peking in two or three years. Naturally, he was in a good mood.

I have to admit, this guy Lao Er really has a lot of skills!

Not only has the construction period of the new capital been greatly shortened, but the newly built Forbidden City is so high-end and classy that it is much more domineering than the Yingtian Forbidden City!

When Zhu Di thought of the magnificent Glazed Crystal Palace, he felt a little itchy in his heart and wished he could move in right away.

Only the Glazed Crystal Palace is worthy of my status as an emperor through the ages!

At this moment, Jin Zhong came in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, something happened in Jiangnan!"

"Huh?" Zhu Di was stunned when he heard this, "Did the second one make a fuss so soon?"

Emperor Yongle knew very well what his second son was capable of, and since he had a bad temper, he would inevitably kill chickens to scare monkeys when he went to Jiangnan!

Hearing his words, Jin Zhong was also stunned.

The King of Han really got the order from His Majesty the Emperor!

But from the outside, Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu is still "mobilizing troops without an edict"!

"This is a memorial from Hou Chengzhong, the commander of the Jinshan Guards. Your Majesty, please read it!"

Jin Zhong didn't waste any time and handed over the memorial directly.

After reading this, Zhu Di's expression changed and he was no longer as calm as before.

"The second son is such a traitor!"

"I asked him to go to Jiangnan to deal with the gentry, not to have fun!"

Isn't that just having fun?

As the King of Han, he forced the guards in the south of the Yangtze River to send troops to blockade the five cities in the south of the Yangtze River!

In the eyes of the people of the world, Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han Dynasty, was deploying troops without an edict, which was tantamount to conspiracy!

"This bastard!"

"Obviously he wants me to wipe his butt!"

At this moment, Zhu Di suddenly regretted his original decision.

Was it a little impulsive to send the second child to Jiangnan?

This bastard traitor won't really kill the whole Jiangnan, right?

"The king of Han has been ordered to investigate all affairs in the official fields in the south of the Yangtze River. He has the power to control local troops and horses and do whatever is convenient for them!"

Zhu Di pondered for a long time, and finally bit the bullet and issued such an order, which completely solved Zhu Gaoxu's worries.

There was nothing that could be done about it. The two old men had already arrived in Jiangnan and launched a thunderous operation.

Zhu Di, the emperor, naturally cannot dismantle the second brother at this time!

What's more, the Jiangnan issue needs to be resolved urgently and cannot be delayed any longer!

Simply, let the second child make a big fuss this time, once and for all!

"Your Majesty, if this happens, I'm afraid there will be criticism from both the government and the public!"

"And over there at the East Palace..."

"Ignore it!" Zhu Di waved his hand.

"The East Palace side can't get involved in this matter!"

"When the second child is dealt with, I will order him to go to Yunnan to join the feudal clan!"

Jin Zhong was startled when he heard this and sighed secretly.

The King of Han is being used as a sword!

It's a pity that he is not the eldest son!

…

Songjiang Mansion.

The army entered the city and took over the city defense.

Because Han King Zhu Gaoxu suddenly led his army into the city, the entire Songjiang Mansion was in turmoil and everyone was in danger.

After all, the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, was famous for being arrogant, domineering, and overbearing!

Huang Ziwei, the prefect of Songjiang, took the initiative to ask for an audience with Prince Han that day, but he didn't even see His Highness the Prince of Han, so he could only leave sadly.

Immediately afterwards, the Tiance Guard seized the prefect's official office, and everyone from the prefect Huang Ziwei to the low-ranking subordinates were controlled.

In half a day, Nie Xing would return with detailed information.

"My lord, we have basically found out everything."

"This is the list of gentry in Songjiang Prefecture who are in arrears with taxes and grain..."

"This is the list of evil gentry who prey on the people of Songjiang Prefecture..."

Zhu Gaoxu took a sip of tea and nodded with interest.

"You take your brothers to deal with it!"

"If you are in arrears with taxes and grain, if you are willing to make up for it, you will be punished. If you still refuse, your home will be ransacked!"

"If you are a commoner, no matter how many lives are on your hands, kill a few of his direct relatives to pay for it with their lives. The rest will have their homes ransacked and imprisoned, and they will be exiled to Lingbei together later!"

"In two days, clear out the entire Songjiang Prefecture and go to the next county!"

Nie Xing nodded when he heard this and immediately took the order and left.

Time is running out, we must hurry up!

After Nie Xing left, Huang Ziwei was brought up.

He was kneeling outside the door just now, so he heard Prince Han's explanation very clearly.

The powerful gentry who are in arrears with taxes and grains must either replenish their grains or confiscate their homes!

The evil gentry who prey on the common people are killing people and ransacking their homes!

This His Highness the King of Han is really murderous and ruthless!

"Are you the prefect of Songjiang?"

"The lower official Huang Ziwei is appointed as the magistrate of Songjiang. I am here to see His Highness the King of Han!"

Huang Ziwei did not dare to hesitate and immediately knelt down in front of Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at this guy carefully, and then sighed.

"Huang Ziwei, I heard that you were promoted to an official position because of your virtue. How come you have been an official for several years and all your virtue has been completely ruined?"

As soon as these words came out, Huang Ziwei suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

"What the prince said... I don't quite understand!"

"Ha, you don't understand?" Zhu Gaoxu sneered, "I will ask you three questions. If you answer them all, then this will be revealed today.

"First, the gentry of Songjiang Prefecture are annexing fields and exploiting the people. Do you, the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, know about it?"

Huang Ziwei's face changed slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded.

"The lower official knows!"

"Second, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net As the magistrate of Songjiang and the official of the common people, you can only watch the common people living in dire straits. Why don't you take action to punish the gentry, but let it go?"

When Huang Ziwei heard this question, he immediately panicked.

"My lord, it's not that the subordinates don't want to, it's that the subordinates don't dare!"

"Those powerful gentry are all local wealthy families in Songjiang. Not only do they control all walks of life in Songjiang, but their descendants are also all over the county offices of Songjiang Prefecture. The lower officials are just in the name of a prefect. Even if they are determined to eradicate these cancers, they will still be There is nothing you can do…”

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Huang Ziwei quietly and stretched out his third finger.

"Thirdly, when you were the prefect of Songjiang, did you ever accept bribes from the gentry, collude with them, and exploit local people?"

"Think carefully before answering. This is your life story of Huang Ziwei. I don't want to kill a prefect today!"

Facing this last question, Huang Ziwei was extremely frightened.

He knew very well that Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu was definitely not joking!

He really dared to kill himself!

"I swear on my life that I will never accept a bribe!"

Huang Ziwei replied decisively, straightening his back in a rare way.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Gaoxu's expression softened slightly.

"You still haven't forgotten your roots!"

"I'll let you remember the crime of dereliction of duty first!"

"After those powerful gentry are eliminated, a whipping method will be implemented immediately. Zhou Chen will send someone over to guide you!"

"From now on, you Huang Ziwei will be punished for your crimes. When will the whipping method be implemented in Songjiang Mansion, and when will you be exempted from the crime of dereliction of duty? Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Ziwei's heart finally returned to his stomach, and he immediately kowtowed with tears in his eyes.

"I would like to thank Your Highness for your great kindness, and I will do my best to implement the whipping method!"
