"I said, I said, that's right, I am a disciple of Zheng Yangxing, the left governor Zheng Guojiu, and I also contacted Zheng Guojiu, King Fu, King Lu and others for him, mainly to run business for them. Now, I am in the Duke of Wei's mansion, and I am telling the Duke of Wei to trade grain together for His Highness and the uncles. The main purpose is to make money, and of course, it is also to make the court stop and not to reform like this."

Dou Ding couldn't help but confess.

After hearing this, Wei Zhongxian didn't say anything, but just fell silent and thought to himself: "It's true that there is a vassal king involved!"

"Please put him back to prison first, and wait until our family reports to His Majesty and then issue an order to deal with him!"

Then, Wei Zhongxian said just this, and immediately came to Zhu Youxiao and reported to Zhu Youxiao everything that Dou Ding confessed.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao snorted directly: "As long as none of them are good people. They just think about how to make money from the national crisis and completely ignore the country. No matter what, the Ming Dynasty has the greatest relationship with them. If the Ming Dynasty falls, civil and military officials can continue to be civil and military officials, but how about they, can they still have the status of royal relatives and relatives of foreign relatives?! Stupid! Selfish! Greed!"

"Don't calm down!"

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly replied, he could understand why His Majesty the Emperor was so angry. After all, it was basically his own family who was digging for his own rule. If anyone else, he would not be in a good mood.

"Transfer an order to Liu Ruoyu, and ask him to accept the order immediately, let Concubine Zheng become a monk, and then strangle him to death with white silk, because he was suspected of murdering the late emperor!"

"Then the order was sent to Xu Xianchun, and he led his men to confiscate the Zheng Yangxing clan, and killed all the adult males in the family, and exiled to Liaodong by the women and children. The reason was to murder the late emperor and commit the crime of regicide!"

Zhu Youxiao suddenly said.

When Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he wanted to fight with the Donglin Party and did not attack the nobles and relatives in order to avoid uniting them to deal with him alone.

But now these vassal kings, relatives and nobles united together to prevent themselves from reforming the new policy by speculating grain, and also wanted to take the opportunity to seize their own profits, so naturally he would not let them go.

Although Concubine Zheng offered a beautiful woman and caused Emperor Taichang to indulge in lust and die, it was a remark often made by the Donglin Party members, it was difficult to prove it.

But when Zhu Youxiao wanted to deal with Concubine Zheng and her family, this could also be a reason for Zhu Youxiao to deal with them.

Zhu Youxiao had long planned to deal with the Zheng family.

After all, these people were once the political enemies of Zhu Youxiao's father Zhu Changluo.

It was just because the time had not come.

After all, there is King of Fu behind these people.

But now Zheng Yang's character is so dishonest.

Zhu Youxiao's next reforms will enter a deeper area and will take action against the vassal kings.

Among these vassal kings, King Fu occupied the most land and posed the greatest threat to him, the emperor.

Concubine Zheng, Zheng Yangxing and others are the people with the greatest relationship with King Fu.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao naturally had to deal with the Zheng family before dealing with King Fu.

"I obey the order!"

Wei Zhongxian immediately replied, he had guessed that the emperor would do this, so he seemed calm and asked: "Emperor, do you need the people from the East Factory to disclose this news to King Fu?"

Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Zhongxian in surprise: "Did you guess what I want to do?"

Wei Zhongxian suddenly knelt down in a cold sweat: "Good your life, I am a servant, I am a servant, I am just saying something. I just want to do more for the emperor, so I am reckless!"

"Get up."

Zhu Youxiao said something and said, "Accurate!"

"yes!"

"Thank you for not killing me!"

Wei Zhongxian was ashamed of an amnesty.

Zhu Youxiao smiled faintly.

Then, Zhu Youxiao continued: "Issuing an order to let Li Zhizao and Lu Xiangsheng's First Battalion of the Guard Town continue to go to Henan to investigate the loan debts of Hengheliangshou. Those who dare to stop them will be killed without any hesitation!"

"In addition, let Dou Ding be released and let him meet the nobles who were suspected of colluding with the vassal kings and relatives of the foreign kings, gather these nobles and then get rid of them one by one. They must use thunder to quickly get rid of them. Before the vassal kings may rebel, they will prevent these nobles from responding, and avoid the heroes becoming rebels later, and thus make our heroes eliminated. This is not only the possibility of extermination of their conspiracy and the protection of the heroes."

Zhu Youxiao also announced the order.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also asked Han Yu, Xiong Tingbi and others: "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty's wise!"

Xiong Tingbi replied first.

Seeing Xiong Tingbi responding like this, the emperor did not frown, Han Yu hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"If I pass on the edict, I do not want to destroy the meritorious officials for false use, but to protect the meritorious officials, to remove their unworthy descendants for those who have made great contributions to our Ming Dynasty, and to prevent their families from being involved in the crime of rebellion, so that the heroes will know to be good, to keep their family business, and to uphold loyalty and filial piety, which is equivalent to helping them clean up their doors. This action is called the Night of the Long Sword;

Han Aiqing and Xiong Aiqing, you will take the civil and military officials of the Nandu to Xiaoling first, and take the Nanjing Ministry of Rites to prepare for the ceremony of worshiping the Xiaoling Mausoleum and the loyal and martyrs of our Ming Dynasty. I personally arrest the unworthy descendants of these heroes, and then go to the Xiaoling Mausoleum to pay homage to Taizu, and tell them that for the safety of the country and the inheritance of their family, I have to decisively execute their unworthy descendants with thunderous means. I believe that Taizu and these heroes will support me."

Zhu Youxiao said: "As soon as possible, Han Aiqing, immediately draft a memorial and decree to Taizu and all the meritorious officials. Ma Xianglin, you will take the Second Battalion with me and prepare to arrest the noble heads of the family."

"Abide by the order!"

The ministers immediately replied.

...

That night.

Dou Ding was released and, in accordance with Wei Zhongxian's request, came to the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

"They found out that Queen Fu was behind me, so they suddenly let me go, saying that this matter ends here. It seems that the emperor will not attack his uncle."

Dou Ding said this as soon as he saw Xu Hongji.

After hearing this, Xu Hongji nodded and smiled, "It turns out that the tyrant of the only husband doesn't want to leave a bad reputation that his relatives do not recognize!"

"I'll ask the Duke to invite the Nanjing nobles who participated in the grain trading to come to the mansion. Dou has something important to tell you, which is related to the safety of your family! There must be no mistakes!"

Dou Ding suddenly said with a serious expression.

Xu Hongji did not dare to doubt it. After all, the matter involved the safety of the family, so he couldn't help asking: "The vassal kings should do something?"

Dou Ding Ding said nothing.

Xu Hongji felt that something big was going to happen, so he hurriedly ordered his son: "Immediately invite all the honors and nobles involved in the grain smelting in Nanjing City!"

One hour later.

The nobles arrived one after another.

"What's the matter? King Fu wants to rebel?"

Zhu Guobi, the Marquis of Funing, asked.

"It is possible that King Fu lost a lot this time and borrowed a lot. As for King Lu, the court may have to ask for debts and debts to them!"

Marquis of Zhenyuan said.

"How many soldiers and horses have King Fu prepared? Will King Lu respond? Should he send troops to attack Nandu or go to the capital?"

Tang Xingzuo, the Marquis of Lingbi, asked directly.

Dou Dingze said, "After being released from prison, I met the person sent by Your Highness. Your Highness said that you want to hear what you mean."

"What do we mean?"

Zhu Guobi asked.

...

But at this moment, a cannon suddenly came from outside.

The nobles couldn't help but look out.

Xu Wenjue, the Duke of Wei, walked directly outside. Not long after, he ran back and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here!"

Zhu Youxiao did come here in person this time. In order to show that he was dealing with these unworthy descendants for the meritorious people of the Ming Dynasty, he appeared in person.

But after Zhu Youxiao came, he just lost one sentence: "Take it all away!"

Then, Zhu Youxiao left here.

The specific responsible Ma Xianglin said to these nobles here: "You guys, you have been arrested! Go out with us!"
Chapter completed!
