Zhu Zhanji watched Zhu Gaochi leave, then sat on a chair at the side and began to ponder.
These civil officials in the late Ming Dynasty were too bold. They were greedy as if they were eating and drinking. Today, Yang Lian came out to stop them. It seemed that the water here was still very deep.
...
A hundred miles outside Shanxi City.
Zhu Di looked at the military report in front of him with a serious face,"Didn't the scouts at the front say that there are no more raiders in Taiyuan? What were those? Fake?"
Fan Zhong lowered his head awkwardly." Your Majesty, those are indeed not raiders. They are commoners. I'm afraid that their resistance to the government troops has already surpassed that of the raiders!"”
Zhu Di's face was gloomy." I understand. In order not to cause any panic, don't go in today. We will enter the city tomorrow morning!"”
"This lowly subject obeys."
"Have you done what I told you to do? Can the rations be transported over as soon as possible? The gathering place of the raiders and bandits is not far ahead. We can't delay the opportunity."
"Don't worry, Emperor. We have already defeated the army of bandits that stayed here yesterday. The remaining ones are nothing more than some small characters who are stubbornly resisting.”
"The rations will arrive in three days!"
Zhu Di nodded. You may leave!"
"I will take my leave!"
Zhu Di looked at the man beside him with an inexplicable expression and said,""Is what you said true?"
"Your Highness, Grand Sun has indeed used his thunderous methods to intimidate the Eastwoods. Although there are undercurrents in the city, no one dares to come out openly!”
Zhu Di said noncommittally," There has never been a public trial in the past dynasties. You call this a thunderous method?"”
The man smiled." Your Majesty, they are anxious. This means that Tai Sun's move has hit their sore spot. Isn't this enough?"”
"What do you mean?"
The man smiled confidently and said,"You must know that if you want him to die, you must first make him go crazy!"”
Zhu Di stared at the man strangely and said,""That's good too."
"That's good!"
"Then send the captives and refugees back and leave them all to Tai Sun!”
"But is there really so much food in the city to support so many refugees?”
"Haha, didn't you say that you wanted to cause chaos just now? If it wasn't chaotic, how would those evil spirits be willing to come out?”
"This lowly subject is enlightened!"
....
The next morning, Zhu Zhanji dressed up and went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
"Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Zhu Zhanji swept his gaze across the ministers present and said,""Yang Shiqi, there's been a conclusion to the Zhang case yesterday. The Jinyiwei has brought a few people back. The case is conclusive! Let's have a joint hearing with the three divisions!"
Yang Shiqi was stunned for a moment before he lowered his head and said,"This lowly subject obeys!"
Zhu Zhanji nodded,"Yes, the criminal can be handed over to the Ministry of Justice today."
"Your Highness is wise!"
Zhu Zhanji glanced at Yang Lian below and smiled. In fact, his heart had long been cold. The more afraid they were, the crazier they would be. Only when they were crazy would they do something stupid.
Zhu Zhanji smiled and left.
"Farewell, Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, Madam Zhang requests an audience!"
Zhu Zhanji sat down curiously and looked at Chen Nan beside him.""Isn't Zhang shi still in prison?"
"Your Highness, it's the widow of the Tianqi Emperor."
Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment before he remembered the beautiful widow with a graceful figure.
"Let him in!"
A moment later.
Zhang Yan came in and said to Zhu Zhanji,"Greetings, ancestor!"
Zhu Zhanji rubbed his nose and said,"Please sit!"”
"Thank you, ancestor!"
"What brings you here today?”
"Your Highness, the concubines in the harem are all in a state of panic. They don't know how to survive in the future, so this servant has come to ask Your Highness how to deal with this matter.”
"Didn't Zhu Youjian take all his concubines away?" Zhu Zhanji frowned.”
"Your Highness, there are many concubines in the palace, and there are also some from the Tianqi Dynasty!”
Zhu Zhanji was relieved." This matter is entirely voluntary. I will arrange it. Those who are willing to leave the palace can leave. Those who are unwilling can live in the palace."”
Zhang Yan stood up excitedly and bowed to Zhu Zhanji,""Thank you, Your Highness!"
"No need to be so polite. This matter has to be resolved. Half of their lives have been given to the palace, and they have the right to choose their own lives for the rest of their lives. They are also humans, not animals!”
Zhang Yan's eyes were slightly red as she bowed,"Your Highness is merciful!"
"Aiyo!"
The next scene was awkward. Zhu Zhanji instinctively reached out and hugged Zhang Yan, who was about to fall. The two did not get up immediately, but began to look at each other.
A moment later!
"Your Highness…"
Zhu Zhanji was stunned. He suppressed the impulse in his heart and let go of the red-faced Zhang Yan."Are you alright?"
Zhang Yanhong lowered her head and said,"I'm fine, I'm fine. Thank you, Your Highness. I'll take my leave now."
Zhang Hong ran out with a flushed face.
Zhu Zhanji shook his head helplessly. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. How could he fall on flat ground? Was he too handsome?
Zhu Zhanji shook his head fiercely and began to ponder.
