The noon sun in the Forbidden City was still pretty good. Zhu Zhanji strolled alone in the imperial garden, followed by the Jinyiwei commander Ji Gang with his head lowered!
Zhu Zhanji said with a faint smile on his face,""Ji Gang, during the first court meeting, grandfather once ordered the officials to surrender themselves to the Brocade Guard and offer up their wealth. How is the matter going?”
"Reporting to Your Highness, there are very few people who have come to send back their belongings. Moreover, most of them have only sent a few hundred taels of silver!”
"Ji Gang, do you think the officials here are not afraid of death?" Zhu Zhanji's face was gloomy.”
Ji Gang lowered his head and said respectfully," I thought they weren't afraid of death. They were just used to being arrogant and despotic!"”
Zhu Zhanji nodded in agreement."Yes, they are used to being domineering. The white money has long fascinated their eyes and they don't recognize who they are!”
"Have you made any progress on the matter of the soldiers 'compensation that I asked you to investigate?”
Ji Gang looked up at Zhu Zhanji strangely and said,""Your Highness, there are many officials involved in this matter. I'm afraid that some people in the cabinet of the imperial court are also involved. This subordinate is currently collecting evidence. However, there have been some abnormal movements below recently."
"Oh? What's going on?"
"Your Highness, they might have already noticed that you're going to investigate the compensation thoroughly and are desperate!" Ji Gang continued to lower his head.”
"Oh?" Zhu Zhanji's expression changed. That's interesting. Ji Gang, are there any fun places in Beijing?”
"Your Highness, the canal in the east of the capital is known as the Little Qinhuai River. Although the Ming Dynasty is not peaceful now, it still does not affect the prosperity of that place!”
Zhu Zhanji's eyes lit up.”
"This subordinate will make the arrangements now!"
Zhu Zhanji shook his head." It's not the time yet. A cornered dog will jump over a wall. You have to be desperate before you can jump over a wall!"”
"Let's go and add fuel to their fire!”
Ji Gang smiled knowingly,"I understand."
Zhu Zhanji brought Ji Gang and gathered all the Jinyiwei's men. They arrived at the home of Minister of Official Personnel Affairs Wang Yongguang in a grandiose manner. They looked at the golden and resplendent door. Yes, it was resplendent and resplendent. The first impression they gave off was extravagance.
"Is this the Imperial Residence?" Zhu Zhanji frowned.”
Ji Gang's entire body trembled as he hurriedly said," Your Highness, this is the residence of the Minister of Personnel, Wang Yongguang. He is in charge of all the official hats in the world, so his home is naturally more luxurious."
"Hmph, call the door!"
Dong dong dong!
A tanned manservant came out and looked at Zhu Zhanji curiously,""Who are you looking for?"
"How dare you! His Highness the Grand Sun has come to visit!"
The servant trembled violently and glanced at Zhu Zhanji."Your Highness, please come in, Your Highness, please come in.
Zhu Zhanji clasped his hands behind his back and followed the person in. The artificial mountains and gardens inside were like the imperial gardens of the imperial palace. It was a completely different world from the outside world.
Wang Yongguang hurriedly came out and bowed to Zhu Zhanji,""Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Yes, get up."
Zhu Zhanji sat in the pavilion and looked at Wang Yongguang, who had a big belly and a flattering smile on his face, and said,"Do you know why I came to find you today?”
"I don't know."
Zhu Zhanji lightly tapped the table in front of him and said,""My Great Ming soldiers are fighting outside, and the Imperial Court is providing compensation. Is this Lord Wang's responsibility?”
Wang Yongguang broke out in a cold sweat.
It wasn't that he, the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, was mentally weak. It was because corruption had become as simple as eating and drinking in this period of time. At that time, he didn't hide it at all.
After all, at that time, the Great Ming Dynasty was about to perish. Who would have thought that someone would investigate this matter?
"Yes, I am!" Wang Yongguang stammered.”
Zhu Zhanji chuckled." Lord Wang, you are a wise man. Although you are the Minister of Personnel Affairs, you can't take all that money alone. I don't have to say that you know how the Embroidered Uniform Guards feel."
Wang Yongguang hurriedly knelt down and kept kowtowing."Your Highness, please spare my life! Please spare my life!"
"Tell me about it."
Just as Wang Yongguang was about to speak, his face began to turn ugly. Suddenly, he fell to the ground and began to bleed from his seven orifices. His body began to tremble.
"Zhang deserves to die!"
His head tilted and he lost his life.
The fighter's face began to turn gloomy. He looked at Liu Ning beside him and said,""Return to the palace!"
Along the way, Zhu Zhanji's face was very ugly. Wang Yongguang was dead, and he died without his knowledge. This was not to kill Wang Yongguang, but to give him a warning.
If Wang Yongguang could die silently, could he, the imperial grandson, also die silently?
Zhu Zhanji returned to the palace and looked at Ji Gang." Take my order and mobilize 10,000 soldiers outside the city. 5,000 people will take over the city defense and control the capital. 5,000 people will enter the palace and help defend the palace."
"Arrange the palaces of the Palace of Heavenly Purity and send the Breaking Ranks over!”
"This subordinate understands!"
"Chen Nan!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Take my order and return to the East Chamber.”
"This subordinate will obey!"
Zhu Zhanji began to drink tea with an ugly expression. Just as he was about to drink it, he let it out. Thinking of Wang Yongguang's death, his expression became even uglier.
