Ming Dynasty: The Sixth Brother of the Zhu Family Seeks Immortality

Should he strike up a conversation or remain silent.

Zhu Di didn't seem to expect Zhu Gaochi to answer.

"Take a look." Zhu Di handed Zhu Gaochi the relevant memorials from Prince Ning and the relevant secret reports from the White Lotus Sect.

After reading these memorials, Zhu Gaochi's face straightened.

"Tell me, what do you think about Prince Ning?" Zhu Di asked calmly.

"Prince Ning..." Zhu Gaochi couldn't easily draw conclusions when it came to matters involving a prince.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Gaochi gritted his teeth and said: "Punish Prince Ning's Mansion severely to serve as a warning to others!"

"Yes." Zhu Di agreed casually, not sure whether he agreed or objected.

Then Zhu Di mentioned another thing.

"What do you think of the strange whereabouts of the White Lotus Sect?"

What do you think? Watch it at home! No matter what Zhu Gaochi said, he would have supervised the country for ten years.

He could still see the old man's thoughts. Didn't he just want to give him some government affairs?

"I thought there must be something fishy about this matter."

Zhu Gaochi saluted respectfully.

Zhu Di looked a little strange and said, "In that case, I'll leave this matter to you!"

Zhu Gaochi suddenly raised his head. Shouldn't the second child handle matters related to rebellion?

I originally thought that some other government affairs would be divided, but unexpectedly, a task of suppressing bandits came directly.

Zhu Gaochi wanted to say something else, but Zhu Di interrupted him.

"You go down."

"My son, I obey."

Zhu Di snorted coldly after watching his fat son go back.

The old man is here to handle government affairs, and you three little ones are practicing at home? You are so beautiful!

It doesn’t matter if you are practicing at home, you should get busy together!

"Pass the message! Call the King of Han into the palace!"

...

In the cabinet, Xia Yuanji and Liu Guan came here temporarily to take charge.

When the King of Han was supervising the country, he ordered them to temporarily handle the approval of some government affairs and assist the cabinet.

Although the King of Han no longer oversees the country, the emperor's order to dismiss him has not yet been issued.

Fortunately, Liu Guan directly brought a few close men to assist him in handling government affairs.

As for the old man Xia Yuanji, as the chief steward of the Ministry of Revenue and a direct descendant of the emperor, he did not form any cliques at all.

The only people he could trust were a few students, and those students' official ranks were not high.

There was no way to enter the important area of ​​the cabinet and assist Xia Yuanji in handling government affairs.

The friendship between Xia Yuanji and Liu Guan was average, but Liu Guan was a well-known Qingliu minister in the court, and he was also a censor.

Although Xia Yuanji is older than the other party, they still respect each other when they get along.

They still dealt with some memorials handed over by the emperor as before.

Until Xia Yuanji saw a document, his gaze became far-reaching, and the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to become more conspicuous.

Because this is not a memorial, but a decree!

In the decree, it was clearly written - execute King Ning! Get rid of the title of Prince Ning!

Chapter 63 The White Lotus Sect visits Stone Mountain at night (1 update)

Xia Yuanji was shocked, wondering what evil deeds Prince Ning had done.

His Majesty is unwilling to even meet him, so he wants to execute Prince Ning?

Xia Yuanji seemed to have seen the upcoming war.

A vassal king was executed so easily, and no evidence of the crime of assassinating the king and killing the king was even displayed.

Who knows if it is true or false?

No need to think about it, there will definitely be movement everywhere.

If they don't respond, they will probably be the ones to die in the future.

If we really face a war and send our troops to fight, the household department will probably continue to suffer from poverty!

Compiled and repaired the Yongle Grand Ceremony, Zheng He's voyages to the West, and the Northern Expedition to the Grasslands.

These three huge projects consume a lot of money.

Although the former item is supported by the emperor's inner curtain, the court's expenses are actually acceptable.

But if you can't stand up to Bei Zheng, there is no way to actually get any benefits!

No matter how many grassland people are killed and how many important grassland lands are occupied, what is the use?

Should we build a city to manage the grassland? But building a city takes several years or even more than ten years.

The problem is that with so many soldiers recruited, where will everyone go to eat?

Coupled with the drought in Henan Prefecture, the drought in Lu Di, the Japanese pirates on the coast, the construction of Shuntian Prefecture, the dredging of the Grand Canal, the salaries of officials...

Which item does the court not need to spend a lot of money on? The headquarters can't withhold the rewards given by the imperial court to officials and vassal towns again, right?

Although the New Year's rewards have not been completely deducted, the number is still not as good as before.

For some officials, this is a huge loss.

Thinking about it, Xia Yuanji couldn't help stroking his snow-white beard.

There was no other way. Since the emperor had already made a decision, he could only kill Prince Ning.

After the cabinet distributed the emperor's decree, the news of the death of Prince Ning quickly spread throughout the Ming capital at an extremely exaggerated speed!

This news was naturally spread by Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi.

The purpose is to attract spies from vassal kings, Wu Xun and others from all over the country. It would be even better if they could get some unexpected gains.

The fermentation of rumors did not cause chaos in the capital, and Zhu Di transferred tens of thousands of people from the capital camp into the city.

No matter how powerful the current cultivators are, they still cannot defeat one against a hundred.

Although that won’t necessarily be the case in the next few years.

...

Yingtian Mansion, inside a small mountain village near Shitou Mountain.

This village is very small, with only a few dozen families living here.

However, the village is close to a fair, so it is convenient to buy things.

The village is too small. A few years ago, Jinling City sent soldiers and officials to merge several nearby villages.

Today, there are only a dozen elderly people who are reluctant to leave their hometown in the village.

Besides, although the living conditions here are average, the location is better, so the officials simply set up a soldier post here.

But most of the time, there are no soldiers settled here.

And today, the blood-red color broke the tranquility of this small village.

The bald man who was wiping the blade saw a trace of pity on his companions.

He couldn't help laughing and said, "Puneng, you are still so hypocritical. If you can't stand killing, just choose a place where no one lives!"

The man called Puneng sighed and replied, "Pucong, don't kill people, it's not good for your health."

Bald Pu Cong sneered a few times and stopped talking. This guy always pretends to be compassionate.

When they really started fighting, they showed no mercy at all, how hypocritical!

The followers who came here and occupied the village were the followers of the White Lotus Sect who had lurked in.

The White Lotus Sect is actually just a general term, and there are many followers of different doctrines and numbers.

The White Lotus Sect where Pu Cong and Pu Neng came from is a relatively orthodox White Lotus Sect.

It is said that Ding Pulang, who fought against the Yuan Dynasty, was a member of the White Lotus Sect.

Bald Pu Cong sneered: "Puneng, tell me about the tasks assigned by the Lotus Master!"

Their White Lotus Sect, from a general perspective, is divided into Lotus Masters and disciples.

The Lotus Master is the leader of everyone, and the Lotus Master also set up a deputy envoy, that is, the secretary of the boss.

And Pu Neng is the secretary of the boss, and he is also the commander-in-chief of this operation.

The other disciples are ranked in order of Pu, Jue, Miao, and Dao.
