Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

"Thank you, young master.

After Ying Xue relieved herself for a while, she still mustered up the courage to come to the third floor and came to Zhu Cihong to thank her.

"What are you talking about, you are also my woman, Jiangyin is just looking for death by himself.

Zhu Cihong smiled faintly, although he had no intention of entering the East Palace, but now that the surface of the snow is indeed his woman, he still has to maintain it, and even if Jiangyin does not die, he must control Jiangyin, beat him up first, and then force him to submit.

Yingxue's face turned red when she heard this, and while she was shy, she also felt a little sweet in her heart, and turned around and left embarrassed.

"Hehe, pay back your woman, you take care of yourself first.

Just after Yingxue went down, Qingzhu, the leader of the Bamboo Gang, came to the staircase on the third floor and sneered: "You dare to break Jiangyin's legs, don't go to Nanjing, otherwise let Jiangyin send the news back, and you will die ugly."

"Thank you for your concern.

Zhu Cihong looked at each other, although it was a cold expression and a gloating tone, but in fact, there was still a taste of concern in it.

"Concern?"

"Heh, I wish you were dying soon."

Qingzhu sneered, and turned to go downstairs.

"Your Highness, do you want to teach this person a lesson?

Gao Wencai bent down, looked at Qingzhu's back, and showed murderous intent in his eyes, although His Highness was a private visit, and the other party did not know His Highness's identity, but it was a great crime to dare to say so.

"No, he who doesn't know is not guilty.

Zhu Cihong waved his hand, the other party's resentment towards him was still obvious, after all, he took advantage of the other party, so it was better not to provoke the other party as much as possible, and save yourself trouble.

"The internal map of the Bamboo Gang given by the four masters, the place marked with a red dot is the place where the Bamboo Gang's money and account books are. Yijin

Yiwei walked up to the third floor, picked up a parchment roll in his hand, and handed it over.

"Good.

After Zhu Cihong took the map and looked at it, he handed it to Li Ruolian.

......

Twelve years of Chongzhen.

November.

Light snow.

Gao Wencai came to the side of the boat, stretched out his hand and raised it in mid-air, and after a while, a flying pigeon hovering in mid-air landed firmly on his finger.

He picked up the pigeon, took the small bamboo tube from its paws, and walked briskly into the house.

"Your Highness, Yangzhou's flying pigeon has passed the book. As

he spoke, he handed the bamboo tube to Zhu Cihong.

"You read it directly.

Zhu Cihong looked at the map on the table and said without raising his head.

"The 10,000 cavalry of the Beijing camp has arrived outside Yangzhou, the 10,000 musket team has arrived in Yangzhou, and the remaining 30,000 troops are about to enter the territory of Nanzhili. "

Pass the order and let them do what they planned.

Zhu Cihong put away the map, came to the deck, and looked at the riverbank in front of him, and in front of him was the boundary of Nanjing.

When the ship docked, Qian Qianyi was already waiting on the shore, and he returned to Nanjing in advance just to contact who was available, but he didn't need to.

"Childe.

When Qian Qianyi saw Zhu Cihong get off the boat, he immediately greeted him, and with a wave of his hand, the carriage drove over.

"You get in the car too.

After Zhu Cihong got in the car, he said to Qian Qianyi.

"This is a part of the available people that Wechen has drawn up, and after His Highness cleans up the moths, he can be assured of promoting them.

Qian Qianyi took out the list and handed it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and said: "Among them, there are also some traitors, such as Ruan Dacheng, Ma Shiying and others.

Zhu Cihong took the list and looked at it, the list on it that could not be used was roughly the same as the list of nobles investigated by Jinyiwei, only a few were different, it seemed that it was a bit of a personal grudge.

In addition, the list of available people is probably also students of Donglin Academy, but this is not the point, the point is to support the new policy of the imperial court, defeat magic with magic, and defeat the opposition with support.

"Do you have a personal grudge against these two people?"

said Zhu Cihong with a smile.

"The minister did not dare to hide it from His Highness.

Qian Qianyi's heart jumped, His Royal Highness really knew what was going on, and immediately said: "The minister has a little personal grudge with these two people, but they exclude dissidents, do nothing, and form a party for personal gain. "

Zhu Guobi, who I asked you to pay attention to, how are you doing recently?" Zhu

Cihong opened the car window and looked at the pedestrians coming and going outside, Nanjing, even outside the city, is relatively prosperous, there are many hawkers, tea sheds, and caravans, and the dock where the boat stopped just now is not in the city, so it is still outside Nanjing at the moment.

"Zhu Guobi will go to the pear orchard tonight, and the minister has also invited many people to come over to play, and Jinyiwei can take advantage of this opportunity to act at night.

Qian Qianyi said.

Zhu Cihong remembered that Zhu Guobi seemed to be soaking in the Qinglou woman named Kou Baimen, although she was one of Qin Huai's eight Yan, but she should be seven or eight years older than him.

"Hurry up

!" "It's not like a conscription, just pay the money, otherwise you have to move quickly!" Suddenly

, there was a shouting and scolding outside, and after Zhu Cihong heard this, he stopped the carriage, then opened the window and looked over.

I saw that not far away there was a group of servants in the yamen, who were enslaving this group of people with whips, building a bridge.

Zhu Cihong's face darkened when he saw this scene, although he knew these things, Jiangnan was still using forced labor and fire consumption for personal gain, but when he really saw this scene, he was still very angry, this is a blatant disdain not to take the will of the court seriously, and he is not afraid that he, the prince of the prison country, will take it seriously.

"A few of you, didn't the imperial court make a policy to abolish forced labor, why do you still use forced labor to build bridges!" Qian

Qianyi saw His Royal Highness the Prince's face, so he observed his words, immediately got out of the car, stepped forward and scolded loudly.

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about, when will the imperial court abolish the conscription, get away, otherwise you will also come over for Lao Tzu to do things!" Seeing

that someone dared to meddle in affairs, the leader of the group of errand servants immediately pulled out the saber on his waist and pointed at Qian Qianyi and threatened.

"By the way, it's from outside, who doesn't pay it!" said

that, the errand officer suddenly thought of this again, and approached Qian Qianyi with someone, threatening: "Pay this year's tax first, and the province will look for you later, the good people in Nanjing have to pay taxes, otherwise they will stay in the city for a long time." "

Huh.

When Qian Qianyi heard these words, he was directly laughed at angrily, except for the imperial court, when did he receive this bird anger outside, although he has a wide range of connections in Nanjing, but it is a network of the upper class, and of course a low-level errand officer does not know him.

"Then how much tax do you want to collect?" Qian

Qianyi sneered.

"Fifteen taels of silver, of which five taels are fire consumption silver, this point still has to be explained to you clearly, don't say that Lao Tzu overcharges. The

poor head held the knife in his hand, and he also looked at Qian Qianyi with a sneer, the threat in his eyes was self-evident, let you be nosy and don't make a wave of you, I'm really sorry for you.

"You are so bold

!" Qian Qianyi roared directly: "The imperial court has already canceled the fire consumption, you actually openly resist the decree, you are not afraid of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, and now all the taxes of the imperial court are under the responsibility of the tax department of the household department, and you officials do not have this power!"

He really didn't expect this person to dare to speak like this, and he said it so loudly, after reacting to this, he immediately became angry, and said angrily: "You know the affairs of the court so well that you can hear it clearly, and now you are resisting taxes, and even, I suspect that you are an anti-thief and a spy, now go to the noisy room to meddle in the trouble

!" "Arrest!"

Saying that, seven or eight officials drew their swords one after another and surrounded Qian Qianyi.

"Give them a hundred or two hundred.

Zhu Cihong closed the car window expressionlessly, those officials just wanted to ask for more money, otherwise they would do it directly, and what would they do with Qian Qianyi, they would dare him not to go on the road.

In their opinion, Qian Qianyi's move is not only to meddle in things, but also to prevent them from getting rich, so it is natural to teach them a lesson.

"Wait a few days, and then clean it up.

"Here is a hundred taels, take it!" Li

Ruolian took a bag of money and threw it over, and said: "We are new here, we don't know the rules, so the official is not strange." "
