Yang Shiqi looked at Zhu Zhanji helplessly and lowered his head without saying a word. He finally realized that the people of the Zhu family, regardless of whether they were old or young, were all stubborn.
Zhu Di didn't care what he decided. Even the benevolent Crown Prince couldn't easily change his decision.
Right now, whatever Grand Sun said was still true, and it was much more serious than the Crown Prince.
Yang Shiqi naturally couldn't convince Zhu Zhanji to leave helplessly.
Night slowly fell.
Many figures appeared in the palace. Fang Zhengzhi was sitting in a pavilion.
The surroundings were filled with young eunuchs.
"Godfather, everything is ready."
Fang Zhenghua nodded." Children, His Highness is very dissatisfied with the palace, which means that he is dissatisfied with our East Chamber. Do you know what will happen next?"”
"You only have one chance tonight. Clean up the palace. According to the list I gave you, bring all the people in the palace back to the East Chamber. Before this matter is investigated, no one is allowed to leave their courtyard."
"Do you all understand?"
Fang Zhenghua did not care about the reactions of the people below. He stood up and shouted with a smile,"Capture him!"
Groups of people from the East Hall began to rush in.
A new round of reshuffling began in the palace!
...
The next morning, Zhu Zhanji dressed up and arrived at the Palace of Heavenly Purity!
"Your Highness has arrived!"
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
"No need for formalities."
Zhu Zhanji sat on a small chair under the dragon throne.
"If you have anything to report," said Sixi as he left the office,"report it to me as soon as possible.”
"Your Highness, I have a report."
Zhu Zhanji glanced at the Minister of Works, Xue Fengxiang, and said,""Correct!"
"Reporting to Your Highness, yesterday, the capital's factory guards were dispatched and began to arrest people wantonly. Many officials and aristocratic families in the capital have been seized by the Jinyiwei's prison.”
Yang Lian also came out of work and said,"Your Highness, yesterday there was a large scale arrest in the city. The people are already in a panic."
"Please tell me, Your Highness!"
Zhu Zhanji frowned and looked at them in disgust.""This matter involves the secrets of the royal family. Don't ask about it. The imperial court won't arrest people for no reason."
"Your Highness, it's not that we're here to get to the bottom of this," Xue Fengxiang continued,"But right now, half of the people from the Ministry of Works have been captured. We can't maintain our daily work."
"My Ministry of Revenue is the same."
"The same goes for the Ministry of Personnel Affairs."
"Reporting to Your Highness, even the five military governors are like this!"
"What do you think?" Zhu Zhanji frowned.”
"This lowly official thought that if it was not something important, then let them come back to work. After all, the current Great Ming is in need of people."
"Your humble subject reconsidered."
"This humble subject reconsiders!"
Zhu Zhanji sneered." These people have violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Do you think that the officials who committed crimes can go back and continue to be officials?" Are you here to play in the imperial court?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, since they have committed a crime, this lowly official dares to ask what crime they have committed!”
"That's right. How can you punish someone without knowing the reason?”
"Your Highness, please announce their crimes and give the people of the world an explanation!”
Zhu Zhanji's eyes flashed coldly."Ji Gang!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Show the dossier in your hands to the lords."
"This subordinate understands."
Ji Gang came down and distributed the files he had prepared to the officials. Of course, these files were not the files of the Zhonggong case. They were evidence of these officials breaking the law!。
The hall gradually quieted down, and many officials began to look at Zhu Zhanji from time to time.
After the time for an incense stick to burn.
Zhu Zhanji was the first to break the silence.
"Since you have also read the dossier, you should know that these things are not something that they can do."
"Ji Gang, whoever is related to them, invite them to the Jinyiwei for a chat."
Ji Gang stood up with a sinister smile and said,""Someone come, Assistant Minister of Works Zhao De! Wang Yuan, Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Chen Yong, General of Zhenyuan…Ji Gang read out a long list of names.
"Take them all down!"
The Embroidered Uniform Guards who were already prepared at the door came in and pulled them all down.
Yang Lian and Xue Fengxiang looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. It turned out that this young master above had long been prepared and guarded against them. That was why there was such a scene.
Yang Lian rolled his eyes and said,"Your Highness, the Xuanhua Guanning Cavalry's salary of eight million taels of silver has been delayed for two years." The Guanning Iron Cavalry is guarding the border for our Great Ming. If we don't get paid, the soldiers will be dissatisfied."
"May I ask when Your Highness will pay the army?”
Zhu Zhanji was stunned. How many soldiers? How much was it? Is that my Great Ming's army?"
Yang Lian was stunned for a moment before he continued,"The Guanning Iron Cavalry has been stationed in Datong Xuanhua for several years. They are the rare elites of the Ming Dynasty. They are the main force against the Jurchen and the bandits."
Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment and frowned." Then why did the thieves come out of Datong, Shanxi Province, and head straight for the capital?" When was the Guanning Cavalry there? Why didn't you stop them?"
Yang Lian bowed in his heart." Your Highness, the military pay has not been paid for a long time. I'm afraid that the Guanning Iron Cavalry will come to the capital to ask for the pay. At that time, it will not be easy to clean up the mess."”
