Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

"The ministers knocked on His Royal Highness the Prince, Chitose

Chitose, Chitose Chitose!" In the Yamen of Yingtianfu, the courtyard that can accommodate hundreds of people is full of people kneeling at the moment, and the officials and nobles in the entire Nanjing City are here, and they all want to know which one the prince is playing.

"Get up.

Zhu Cihong raised his hand.

"Your Highness. "

Everyone got up one after another, from the courtyard to the outer courtyard are full of people, although the people standing in the outer courtyard are qualified to come, but they can only stand back, the group of people who can stand in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are all those with the highest status in Nanjing, so that those of them standing outside can't even see what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks like.

Everyone looked at the young prince sitting in front of them, and their hearts were full of curiosity, the rumored prince was brutal and unkind in the capital, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he didn't feel that way at all, he was a very gentle person on the surface, but he didn't look like a teenager in words and deeds.

"The minister Nanjing is still the secretary of the ministry, and Zheng Sanjun, the secretary of the criminal department, see His Royal Highness the Prince. Seeing

that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not saying anything else for the first time, one person in the crowd stood up and began to report his position and name, so that His Highness could have a simple understanding of the main officials in Nanjing.

"Minister Nanjing, the head of the household, Shangshu Gao Hongtu, see His Royal Highness the Prince. "

Minister, Nanjing Military Department, Shangshu Shi Kefa, see His Royal Highness the Prince. "

Minister Nanjing Rite Department Shangshu...... Ministry of Industry Shangshu ...... See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. "

Minister, Nanjing Hanlin Academy, Zhan Shi, Jiang Yueguang, see His Royal Highness the Prince. "

Zhu Guobi, the governor of Nanjing, see His Royal Highness the Prince. "

The commander of the minister's Nanjing Jinyi Guard, Chang Yanling, see His Royal Highness the Prince. "

And then there's the self-introduction of the various counts, the marquises.

Zhu Cihong nodded and didn't speak, but he kept a smile on his face, and looked at the sky from time to time, thinking that the tax army outside the city would enter Nanjing City, at least until noon, so he couldn't arrest people, so he delayed the time first.

Everyone looked at the prince who was silent, they didn't know what trick this prince was playing, so they called them over, but they didn't say a word, they hung them here, and they couldn't understand what this prince meant.

Seeing that His Royal Highness didn't speak, they all made eye contact, they were all ventilated before they came in, no matter what the prince's will, as long as it was to implement the new policy, they would all oppose it, even if it was the prince, in the face of so many people's opposition, they couldn't do anything, and when the time came, it would cause chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, and His Majesty was afraid that it would be possible for the prince to dismount.

Zhu Cihong nodded at Qian Qianyi, who understood in seconds, walked out of the first row of the line, came to His Royal Highness, bent down, and spoke in a low voice.

"Your Royal Highness, the minister left the pear orchard in the middle of the night and went to gather a group of people with lofty ideals, all of whom are the children of some poor families outside the gentry circle, who have ambitions and nowhere to go, loyal and patriotic, and they will definitely fully support the new policy of the imperial court when the time comes, and publicize the evil deeds of these corrupt officials everywhere, so that the deceived people can be reasonable.

Qian Qianyi said, and said: "The ministers have also contacted several officials in Nanjing, who are also old acquaintances, Shi Kefa of the Ministry of War, Gao Hongtu of the Ministry of Households, Lu Daqi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Jiang Yueguang, the Zhan Shi of the Hanlin Academy, and the ministers have all gone to communicate, and they are all willing to support His Royal Highness."

"Also, I found a group of storytellers to be on call at any time.

"Very well, credit to you.

Zhu Cihong smiled with satisfaction, with the support of some literati, it is equivalent to having a pen to publish news, and with the support of a few officials in Nanjing, those opposition parties will not all be able to unite into a whole, and cracks will appear within the Nanjing bureaucracy, so it will be easy to control the situation.

In addition, if the storyteller spreads the evil of this group of dying people, then Jiangnan will not be chaotic.

If there is no support from a group of literati, when the time comes, the gentry will be smeared, then in Jiangnan, the people who are deceived by these literati will think that the court is evil, and they are good moths, and then they will blindly follow and oppose the court, and even worse, they will be moved by people with intentions to protest in the streets.

"Your Highness.

Qian Qianyi was excited in his heart, and said: "Those children of the poor family were originally jealous and hateful to those hypocritical gentry and corrupt bureaucrats, and the ministers only lobbied a little, which is the blessing of His Highness."

Zhu Cihong smiled faintly, looked at the sky again, it was still a long time, open the scene first, fight with these people, and see what level these people are.

"This palace is actually a micro-service patrol in Nanjing.

Thinking about it, he spoke, there is no need to hide this, and he can't hide it.

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned in their hearts, and immediately thought about whether they had any illegal acts in the past few days, don't be at that time, if you do something bad and are seen by Your Highness, it will be miserable.

Everyone did not answer, quietly waiting for His Highness's next words, so as to judge whether the purpose of His Highness's trip to Nanjing was the same as they guessed.

"The big guy's sparse about the new policy of the imperial court, the palace has seen it in the capital. Zhu

Cihong directly said about the New Deal, there is no need to cover it up at this time, just mention it, he won't say anything, this is just an introduction, to lead to the next thing.

When

everyone heard this, they all immediately stood up, and His Highness went straight to the point and directly talked about the new deal, and the next thing was the game between them and His Highness.

"As for the implementation of the new imperial court policy in Jiangnan, it is more realistic to come and see in person.

Zhu Cihong said, Xiaomin took a sip of tea, and continued: "The palace just arrived in Nanjing, and before I saw the implementation of the new policy, I received an anonymous complaint letter. "

The content of this letter is shocking, so the palace has to cancel the micro-service and directly convene everyone to discuss this matter.

After speaking, Zhu Cihong looked at the people below with a smile, took out an envelope and shook it in his hand, this is his usual method, first get a fictitious whistleblower to come out, Qian Qianyi came to this set at the beginning, the key is that there is no way to confirm the authenticity of the anonymous complaint letter, whether there is this anonymous complainant or not, as long as the content of the letter is true.

And this letter has been written a long time ago, and the content is nothing more than the issue of the two Huai salt taxes, which was handed over to the imperial court for one million, but in fact, the price of salt here has skyrocketed, but the tax has not risen at all.

When everyone heard this, they were stunned, didn't they talk about the new deal, His Highness did come to investigate the progress of the new deal, why did he suddenly talk about some anonymous report letter

? His Highness didn't come out of micro-service, so how did this anonymous person know that

His Highness was His Highness? What was the content of the envelope in His Highness's hand, and who was this anonymous whistleblower?

Everyone looked at the envelope in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's hand in amazement, and their minds didn't turn a corner for a moment, why did they suddenly have a report letter, and who to report?

It is necessary to summon officials from all over Nanjing to come over to discuss.

"Come, take it down and circulate it to you.

Zhu Cihong handed the envelope in his hand to Li Ruolian beside him.

Li Ruolian took the envelope, then walked down, and handed it to the first person on the left in the first row to open it and read it.

Time passed little by little, and after everyone in the hospital read the contents of the envelope, their faces changed drastically, because the content reported in the letter was something that touched their nerves more than the new deal.

That's the salt tax.
