Chapter 293 Wei Zhongxian begins to harm people again
"You must arrive in Beijing before May, otherwise you will be resisting the order. This is not to stop until I kill me!"
King Fu held the imperial edict in his hand tightly and said with a heavy breath.
Seeing this, Ye Chuchun stood up immediately and said excitedly: "It must be a dead end to enter Beijing! Your Highness, you must not enter Beijing!"
"But if you don't go to Beijing, you will be dead!"
The prince of Fu King Zhu Yousheng said this and bowed to Fu King: "Father, when you go to the capital, you are at least doing your own thing. Even if Your Majesty wants to deal with us, you will not dare to be too cruel. After all, as long as we do not resist the order and do not rebel, Your Majesty will not have enough reason to kill us."
"Your Highness, are you going to put Your Highness, King Fu in a dangerous place? You will definitely die when you enter the capital! It is better to raise an army and rebellion directly. There may be a glimmer of hope for rebellion. Now the court is injustice and ruthless towards the vassals. The vassals in the world have long been dissatisfied. Especially now, King Lu also needs to go to the capital to collect crimes like King Fu. As long as King Fu, you raise your army, King Lu will definitely respond! From the perspective of the students, it is very likely that the old story of Fengtian Jingnan will be reproduced."
Ye Chuchun refuted Zhu Yousong's point of view and continued to advocate that King Fu Zhu Changxun rebel.
Zhu Yousong glanced at Ye Chuchun, took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted, "Come on! Drag the scholar named Ye down and handed it to the government, and said that he was suspected of bewitching the vassal kings and rebelling, and the Fu Palace did not dare to stay again!"
Ye Chuchun was quite shocked when he saw this and hurriedly looked at King Fu: "Your Highness, King Fu! Students are heartfelt! Now, do you have any other better choices?!"
Zhu Changxun sighed, "Forget it, prince, don't treat Mr. Ye like this."
"But, Father, he kept instigating you to rebel, which clearly has ulterior motives!"
Zhu Yousong hurriedly explained.
"Enough! I still have the final say in the Fu Palace! It's not your turn yet!"
Zhu Changxun yelled at Zhu Yousong, then gave him a blank look, and then said, "I should pretend to be sick. If you can delay it for a while, Zhu Youxiao wants to force me to rebel, but I will not rebel, but he doesn't think that I will go to Beijing obediently. I will pretend to be sick. Seeing what Zhu Youxiao can do to me, I immediately asked the people in the mansion to write a book, and I said that I am sick and the prince is also sick!"
"Father is brilliant!"
Zhu Yousong was originally a little unhappy because he was yelled by Zhu Changxun, but now he heard that Zhu Changxun wanted to pretend to be sick and delay going to Beijing, so he agreed quite well, so he hurriedly replied.
Ye Chuchun frowned inadvertently, and then he quickly stretched his eyebrows and squeezed out a smile: "Your Highness is still smart, just drag it like this!"
...
"Hmph! Call it sick? What about King Lu? Isn't King Lu also called it sick?"
After Zhu Youxiao learned that King Fu was sick and did not come to the capital, he was not angrily released the book in his hand and asked about the situation of King Lu.
"When I returned to the emperor, King Lu said that he broke his leg on a horse and it was inconvenient to come to Beijing and he had to take care of it for a while, so I asked for permission to allow him to go to Beijing after healing his injuries."
Wei Zhongxian replied.
"A bunch of cowards, if I were forced into this field, I would be rebelled directly!"
"It seems that you still have to add some more materials and continue to force these vassal kings. Since you can't slaughter these two fat pigs with one knife, then just cut the flesh slowly with a knife. It depends on how long you can hold on."
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sneer, and then sneered.
"What other cases have been investigated in the East Factory recently?"
Zhu Youxiao then asked about Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian didn't understand the emperor's meaning at first, and just like before, he deliberately said something to make the emperor happy, and said: "Your Majesty, except for the vassal kings, I didn't find anything. Today is much better than a few years ago. The scholars began to understand the rules, the people were also very responsible, and the officials, except for a few, were also much more honest than before."
"Is that true? It seems that you are a good manager in the factory and should be promoted to the Sili Supervisor to do the seal."
Zhu Youxiao said this directly.
When ordinary people heard this, they only thought that the emperor was praising him, but Wei Zhongxian was so smart that they immediately knew that the emperor was praising him openly, and actually saying that he was incompetent, otherwise why would he suddenly say that he wanted to be promoted to the chief seal of the ritual supervisor?
Wei Zhongxian immediately crawled on the ground and said honestly: "I wish you forgive me! I just remembered that there is something important, but I haven't reported it yet."
"What's the matter?"
Zhu Youxiao asked with a hint of embarrassment without anger.
Wei Zhongxian's mind quickly started to work, thinking: "The emperor was not satisfied with his words just now. It was obvious that he wanted his Dongchang to make some excuses so that the emperor had an excuse to make a big fuss. Now the emperor is mainly dealing with the vassal kings. I guess he wanted the Dongchang to find some mistakes related to the vassal kings. Even if the Dongchang has not found the mistakes of the vassal kings, he had to fabricate them first. Only in this way can the emperor be satisfied. Why didn't he expect it just now!"
After thinking about it, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly fabricated it out of thin air: "Return to the emperor, Dongchang recently found that a large amount of private salt appeared in Henan. According to the investigation of Dongchang, it was caused by King Fu's continued smuggling of private salt from the temple after using up the three thousand Huai salt salts granted by the temple. Moreover, according to the current situation in the Dongchang, King Fu's people have smuggled nearly 90 million kilograms of salt, totaling about 300,000 salt cigarettes."
Wei Zhongxian was not a mess. What he could be sure of was that private salts in Henan must be flooded because this is the case all over the world.
After all, selling private salt is the crime of beheading.
There are few ordinary people who dare to play except for the desperate people, but the powerful people dare to play.
Many of the people who sell private salt and dig up the tax lining of the imperial court are powerful people.
Some big private salt leaders basically have backgrounds with vassal kings, nobles, and ministers.
As the admiral of the East Factory, Wei Zhongxian naturally knew about these things.
Therefore, Wei Zhongxian believed that King Fu must also sell private salt, and it must be sold a lot, otherwise Henan would not still be eating Huai salt now.
Therefore, Wei Zhongxian also gave King Fu a crime of selling private salt.
"This is actually happening?"
Xiong Tingbi was watching coldly, and he couldn't help but blurt out.
When doing things around the emperor, the ability to understand the emperor's mind is to be able to understand the emperor's mind.
Xiong Tingbi was no exception. Seeing Wei Zhongxian's performance just now, he also guessed the emperor's thoughts. He knew that Wei Zhongxian talked about the Fu King selling private salt at this time, in order to give the emperor another chance to continue to deal with the vassal kings, so he pretended to be exaggerated.
Of course, as a capable minister who has been able to stabilize the situation in Liaodong for many years, Xiong Tingbi is good at not only guessing the emperor's mind, but also using the emperor's mind to achieve his political intentions.
So, Xiong Tingbi continued to say: "One salt induced three hundred kilograms, in addition to the cost of six cents and four cents, the silver tax and freight cost 6 taels of silver and 90 million kilograms of salt is a 1.8 million kilogram of salt! Salt induced is divided into long induced and short induced. Long induced and long induced for one year. Even the long induced and long induced, it has expired. Now it can still sell about 90 million jin of Huai salt. It seems that it is indeed caused by smuggling. However, the loss of salt tax in the court has been equivalent to the salt tax revenue of the court for one year! This is really shocking!"
Then, Xiong Tingbi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the current order is to seek the loss of salt tax from King Fu and punish him for his crime!"
Zhu Youxiao nodded and looked at Han Du.
Seeing that Xiong Tingbi's view did not make the emperor angry, Han Yu hurriedly agreed: "Your Majesty! I will discuss it!"
