Chapter 224: The Art of Controlling the Underworld (Part 2)

The cloud pattern sashimi is the symbol of the "Juanyun Camp" in the army under Zhu Yu. The kitten opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, there are at least a few hundred such corpses outside the Dali Temple. We have checked it. They have cloud pattern or wind pattern sashimi on their arms, which cannot be faked. In Yingtian Mansion, there are so many people who can mobilize, but not known by the Jinyiwei. No one can do it except the army. Now there are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed inside and outside the city, and they are frequently mobilized every day, and thousands of people are lying outside the Dali Temple. Who knows?"

Zhu Di looked at Mr. Zhao, who kowtowed repeatedly with innocent faces. His chin was broken by a kitten with a punch. How can he speak now? He was also full of grievances, but he was just listening to people's provocations and said that the kitten was talking about him and something behind his back. Mr. Zhao was narrow-hearted and was aroused for a moment, so he found the kitten and provoked him in the downtown area. Who knew that such a big thing happened in the end, and he really regretted it.

Lei Zhenyuan was also brought up, but he just knelt on the ground without saying a word. He looked at Zhu Di fearlessly with a stubborn face, his eyes full of open-mindedness.

Zhu Di looked at it for a long time and suddenly laughed. He said to the monk Daoyan: "Daoyan, I have understood this matter. Mr. Zhao privately ordered to mobilize troops to attack and kill Commander Li Fengli, but blamed General Lei Zhenyuan, right?... Those soldiers were ordered to act, but they were innocent. The culprit was Mr. Zhao."

The monk Daoyan smiled slightly and nodded and said, "Your Majesty is very right. Daoyan has the same idea. Is this Mr. Zhao? Just killing him, it's useless to keep him. He is really stupid. If he does such a thing, can he have a good end? General Lei was wronged, and he was indeed wronged, but he was not strict in his command. The soldiers dared to act without the orders of the general. This is also a serious crime. Especially when he privately mobilized troops to arrest General Li Hu in the downtown area, this... is a charge of traitorousness."

He opened his mouth and convicted Lei Zhenyuan of a serious crime of rebellion. Zhu Di frowned, looked at Lei Zhenyuan with a little reluctance, nodded and said, "Daoyan is right, Lei Zhenyuan, what do you have to say? Why did you lead troops in the downtown Hu Wei?"

Lei Zhenyuan was stunned for a moment, and heard a hint of clues, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I did not do it on purpose. I just led my troops to pass by the street. I saw Lord Li Hu beating his colleagues in the Ministry of War there, for fear that he would kill someone, so..." He opened his mouth and felt that this was really hard to justify. He openly brought hundreds of soldiers through the downtown area, especially with weapons such as bows and crossbows on his body that the court had strictly controlled, which was a big crime.

Zhu Di sighed, gently patted his thigh with his right hand, and sighed: "Forget it, it turns out that you happened to pass by. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice also happened to pass by, right? The Dali Temple Minister was also involved unconsciously... But it's okay for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice. The Dali Temple Minister was not strict, and the prison guards dared to abuse the general of the current dynasty. What's the use of leaving behind? Demolished to the third level, and leave it for later results."

After a pause, he looked at Li Feng in the "coma" and the terrible wounds on the kitten, and another cruel anger appeared on his face: "Minister of War, Minister of Justice, fined his salary for one year. In the future, you should discipline your subordinates well. Don't let them hook up with them randomly... Lei Zhenyuan, you are the general now. This time I will demote you to the third level. You can go back to be a general by yourself... The court stick is thirty, the golden gourd warrior, drag it down."

Lei Zhenyuan's face immediately relaxed. When he heard the court's thirty stick, he knew that Zhu Di would not kill him. He did not notice that the old eunuch Lu behind Zhu Di secretly gestured with a thumb down gesture. But the person who was punished by the Ming Dynasty was also the commander of the Jinyiwei. Zhou Chu and three others were "seriously injured" and could not move. They were immediately punished by their deputy, the three generations of disciples from Huanglongmen. Seeing the old eunuch Lu's gesture, were they still not killing them?

Just at the gate of the palace, the prisoner-inspection little Li Zi smiled and took off Lei Zhenyuan's pants, and slapped his calloused buttocks with a frivolous slap. Two disciples from the Yellow Dragon Gate smiled grimly, picked up the heavy court stick of the dragon and the phoenix, held it high, and slowly put it down. "PuPuPuPuPuPu", the sound was not loud, but each stick was full of potential. A man like Lei Zhenyuan fainted from pain after taking three sticks.

Little Lizi counted weakly: "One...two...three...two...two...three...four...three...four..." He had just counted ten, and Lei Zhenyuan had already eaten twenty sticks of butt, and both pieces of meat were knocked over.

After finally counting twenty, Lei Zhenyuan fainted and woke up. He fainted more than ten times. The plasma flowed down his thighs, staining the ground a lot. Li Zi smiled grimly and gently pulled his fingers. It was only twenty-one. After the thirty sticks, it would be strange if Lei Zhenyuan was not beaten to death.

With the sound of horse hooves, Zhu Li came with Murong Tian and other subordinates, and rode his horse like the wind. Zhu Li's long sword reflected the morning sun and emitted a dazzling cold light. From a distance, he slashed out two sword energy, forcing two deputy commanders of the Jinyiwei who were fighting happily. Little Lizi immediately screamed: "Who is so bold? This is what the emperor personally ordered. If you want to hit thirty court sticks, who dares to stop it? Come, take it for me to my father-in-law."

The guards were stunned. Zhu Yu, the emperor's second son. Not only did they not surround him, they took a step back, indicating that they were unwilling to be embarrassed with Zhu Yu. Zhu Yu looked at the hundred imperial guards present with satisfaction, jumped off the horse with a sneer, strode to Li Zi, and reached out to grab Li Zi's collar, almost lifted him up. "Dog slave, do you dare to give orders to your Highness? You are so brave!"

Little Li squinted his eyes, shooting out a cold and cold light like a poisonous snake. At this moment, he was not afraid of Zhu Li. He had the imperial edict and was ordered to beat Lei Zhenyuan. Although there was a bit of a violation of regulations during the fight, Zhu Li had no choice but to do anything about him. Especially his East Factory has gradually taken shape, and the office space is next to the palace. This is a terrible agency directly under the emperor. Even the Jinyiwei is under his supervision. Does he need to be afraid of Zhu Li?

He slapped Zhu Yu's palm lazily, and Li Zi smiled sinisterly: "Second Your Highness, you are so interesting... The Ministry of War said, you are still mobilizing your army at the foot of Wudang Mountain, why did you suddenly return to Yingtian Mansion? The Ministry of War, and the Emperor, but there was no news at all." He lowered his voice and said coldly: "If it weren't for Little Li Zi, I'm beaten Lei Zhenyuan, the lackey, here, I'm afraid you wouldn't have come forward yet, your Highness?"

Zhu Zi was so angry that he didn't care about anything at all. He picked up Little Li Zi's thin body and slapped it on the ground. Little Li Zi smiled sinisterly, and his body floated like a snowflake. A very cold palm force protected his whole body, and it had already reached more than ten feet away. He pointed at Zhu Zi and shouted: "Okay, Second Prince, you have a good fortune, you dare not listen to the emperor's orders? My family will remember these ten court sticks first, just wait and watch the fun."

After saying this, Li Zi rushed to the hall with a few Jinyiwei people. Zhu Yu's expression changed slightly. He looked at Lei Zhenyuan, who could vaguely see bones on his butt. He couldn't help but feel ache. He quickly ordered Murong Tian to stay and rushed to the hall with several generals.

In the hall, Zhu Di had ordered the Jingua Warrior to slam the head of Mr. Zhao outside the hall. Even if Li Feng was assassinated, he understood that this was the best choice. He could not force his father to kill his second brother, right? Although Li Feng and the others seemed to suffer a loss, they were actually Zhu Yu who suffered even more losses. Zhu Di was wary of him.

Li Feng closed his eyes and was smiling there. "Okay, Your Majesty himself was the throne he had obtained from the rebellion. The most taboo thing is this. Zhu Yu silly mobilized troops to kill me. Wouldn't you tell you that you will deal with him like this sooner or later? Haha, hehe, it's true that you are a stupid fool... If you kill me, you can really take the lead. The question is, can you kill me? Murong Tian is very smart, why don't you persuade him?"

Zhu Di leaned on the throne, looked at Mr. Zhao's head coldly, and sneered: "This case is over. Everything is caused by Mr. Zhao. Hey, it is a death sentence for private mobilization of troops. Come and destroy his ten clans. The Ministry of War also checked me carefully to see if there are any rebellious people who colluded with Mr. Zhao... Is this matter? The Jinyiwei is responsible. However, I think there will not be too many accomplices of such crazy rebels. Xi'er, tell Commander Li not to kill them."

Zhu Di has made a statement, and this is to give Li Feng a chance to settle revenge. But if you take revenge for a little, you will be intimidated. If you really kill all the officials of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice, then I, Zhu Di, can't let you go. Letting you show your might be an explanation for the arrow wounds on you, but you don't have the power to kill ministers randomly! Only I, Zhu Di, have this power.

Li Feng opened his eyes 'ruel' and said weakly: "I must obey Your Majesty's orders and thoroughly investigate the matter. I will never dare to act randomly." He sneered in his heart: "You have given this power to me. I will not kill anyone. I will force those officials to follow me?"

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction, looked at the kitten standing there grinding his teeth, and couldn't help but gently comfort him: "Li Hu, don't be angry, everything is caused by Mr. Zhao. Forget it, I will make an exception to avoid your activities in the Ministry of War. You will be free every day in the future. The Ministry of War will not have to go to the Ministry of War. It is also unknown if you have a strong temper and offend other colleagues... General Manager Lu, allocated a sum of money from the inner palace to Li Hu to help them take good care of their health."

After a pause, he continued to order: "Where is the minister of Dali Temple? I have been demoted to you by level 3, but you have to give me the position. Since the prison guards are so dishonest and dare to abuse prisoners, you will be sent to the prison if you go back... Not only Dali Temple, but also the prison of the Ministry of Justice will be rectified to prevent the people in the world from saying that I am harsh and tyrannical and use punishments indiscriminately, do you understand?"

The lucky Dali Temple Minister suddenly saved his life. He couldn't help but tremble all over and kowtowed and thanked him quickly, and almost burst into tears. He thought he was dead, but who knew that Zhu Di had to fight back for Yun, so he killed a minister Zhao and beat Lei Zhenyuan. Even if this matter was erased, the civil and military ministers knew that this was a fight between Zhu Xi and Zhu Yu, but as long as Zhu Di barely settled this matter in the court, how could Zhu Di scold his son behind him? This is the royal family business. Don't worry about the foreign ministers, you are not qualified to take care of it.

Zhu Di solved the matter beautifully, and both sides had an explanation. Didn’t Mr. Zhao, who made the mistake, be killed? Didn’t Lei Zhenyuan be beaten? Li Feng, who was stabbed, also gave you the right to revenge. You can also clean up the Ministry of War to see if there is any Zhu Yunwen’s remnant party. It’s really a killing of two birds with one stone. As for the kitten, Zhu Di still thinks he is a rude man, isn’t he beaten up? Well, I’ll pay some money, buy some melon seeds and snacks, and stew two old hens to replenish their bodies. That’s all.

In short, on the surface, Zhu Di's bowl of water was taken with a steady hand and did not lean towards either side. As for how he felt, only God knew.

Seeing that the dark clouds were about to dissipate, Li Zi suddenly ran in with a few people. Li Zi shouted in a panic: "Emperor, Master, hey, this, the second prince suddenly returned to Beijing, and rushed over with a group of people, forcing Lei Zhenyuan away, and beating the slaves." It was really wonderful. The collar he had caught by Zhu Yu was completely pulled off, and most of the robe on his upper body was torn apart, and now he was swaying in the wind.

Zhu Di's forehead was shocked and immediately thought of going somewhere else. He stood up and shouted in a deep voice: "How many people did Wuer bring?"

The kitten scolded, and his hand was already on the tiger's roaring sword. Zhang Yuxian was even more infuriated by the generals. They snatched weapons from the warriors in the hall and prepared to fight.

Little Lizi's eyes turned and he was not sure about capital. He whispered: "God knows how many people there are. In short, a large group of people rushed over. The slave was timid and was caught by the Second Prince and threw it away. He didn't dare to look carefully at all, so he ran back." He licked his lips and added: "But listen to their horse hooves, at least there were hundreds of people coming up and down?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Di, who was full of murderous aura, rushed up the steps with a dozen generals and jumped to the entrance of the hall. His action immediately made Zhu Di frown and roar: "Yu'er, what are you doing?" His voice was like thunder, which shocked the entire hall for a while. Zhu Di himself even surged out, and rushed out like a wave of waves.

Amid the 'huh' sound, all the long hairs of civil and military ministers in the hall were blown up, all of which were Zhu Di's power alone. The old eunuch Lu stood behind Zhu Di, with his right hand claws and his left hand clenched, and his eyes flashed cold light, and he looked at everyone in the hall with caution. He whispered: "Li Hu, go and protect Li Feng." Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then immediately felt relieved. Because the next sentence of the old eunuch Lu was: "Master Shui, please come and protect Your Majesty...Master Daoyan, Your Highness will ask you."

Zhu Di was very satisfied for a moment: "Mr. Lu is still the most loyal. Well, if Shui Yuanzi protects me, I am afraid that even thousands of troops will not hurt me. Daoyan protects Xi'er, it is safe; hey, Li Hu protects Li Feng... In terms of identity, this is the only way." Li Feng is a minister, Zhu Di is a king, how can the life of a minister be compared with the king?

When Zhu Yu saw the tense appearance of swords in the hall, he couldn't help but feel scared and sweating. He looked at the long sword that was unsheathed in his hand, then looked at the deceitful smile of Li Zi, and his thighs softened and he knelt on the ground with a 'gulp'. He said, "Father, my son is back... What happened to Yingtian Mansion? Why are you so cautious?" The close generals behind him suddenly understood, and all of them crawled on the ground from outside the sky, and removed their weapons, leaving them aside from a distance.

Shui Yuanzi laughed with a giggle, her face full of injustice. "Oh, I thought this kid was going to learn from Hu Hai. That kid killed his brother, but you came to kill his father. It seems that he is not as brave as that kid... Tsk tsk, grandpa, grandpa, I watched the big fun in Xianyang City back then. Hey, the huge Qin Dynasty is so baptized like this!"

Zhu Di's face became even more ugly. He looked at Zhu Xi, who was bulging with a tall belly and obese figure, and then looked at Zhu Yu, who was kneeling outside the hall, with a strong face, tall figure and violent aura. He couldn't help but feel suspicious. He nodded and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, all the Qing families will return to their seats. Zhu'er, you should still be in charge of the overall situation in Wudang Mountain, why did you run back to Yingtian Mansion? A hundred thousand army, have you withdrawn?"

Zhu Yu didn't dare to stand up, so he secretly threw the sword on the ground, crawled into the hall with his knees, and knelt on the ground and said, "Father, the 100,000 troops, my son has ordered them to go back to the garrison. This time, my son returned to the city early, that's right..." He couldn't think of a good excuse, and couldn't help but feel anxious.

In fact, he heard that Zhu Di had appointed him as king and wanted to go there soon, and he would be a vassal. He was afraid that Zhu Xi would stay in Yingtian Mansion alone, so he would naturally be the heir to the throne in the future. So Zhu Li had to run back to deal with this unfavorable situation. In his opinion, the most powerful person under Zhu Xi was Li Feng, especially Li Feng's power was to supervise the ministers. Just this one could allow Li Feng to control the intentions and trends of most ministers in the court. If Li Feng was not dead, he would be uneasy.

Think about it, if Zhu Yu went to his fiefdom to be a prince, he would naturally lose his influence on the government. Zhu Xi stayed in Yingtian Prefecture and had a stronger impact on Zhu Di than on him. In addition, Li Feng colluded with officials outside, may not be the case if Zhu Di's health became three or two shortcomings, Zhu Xi could ascend the throne smoothly?

What is the power of supervision? Who does civil and military ministers in the court have no scandals that need to be covered? Which one does not have any corruption and abuse of power? If Li Feng has mastered these evidence, would those officials be obediently led by Li Feng? If Zhu Di ascended to the sky, wouldn’t Li Feng say that he would make anyone the king and that person could be the emperor? Especially the kitten still has military power. Who doesn’t know that Kitten is a rough man? In fact, Li Feng is planning various activities behind the scenes? With the regime and military power, Li Feng can easily protect Zhu Xi from ascending the throne?

Therefore, Zhu Zi decided to take risks and take action to kill Li Feng. Who knows, who knows that Li Feng's martial arts are so good, so good that it is perverted. The two thousand most elite archers were tortured by him and killed more than 700 people, and three arrow holes appeared on him?

Zhu Li crawled into the hall with trembling all over his body, and he regretted it. He had known that he would have accepted the good intentions of the third brother. The third brother said that Li Feng's martial arts skills are also very high, and archers may not be able to kill him, so he had to send the help of the Tianwu Palace master. But he didn't want to owe the third brother as a favor and insisted on doing it alone. Who knew that he would have put himself in such a dangerous situation.

His palms were covered in sweat. Zhu Di climbed to one foot in front of Zhu Di's throne and knelt on the ground and did not dare to move. He knew very well that Meng Lang was going to be tortured by Zhu Di this time.

But Zhu Di was too lazy to look at him. After knowing that Zhu Di did not rebel, Zhu Di felt much more relieved. He smiled and said, "Everyone, it's just a false alarm... You guys, you'll just pretend that what happened today hasn't happened. Well, Wu, how many troops are there under your command now?"

Zhu Li's heart twitched suddenly, and he whispered: "Son minister, I am now under my jurisdiction, and there is a large army of 300,000."

Zhu Di said in surprise, "Is there a 300,000 army? This is not true. If it is peaceful today, so many troops are accumulated outside Yingtian Prefecture, wouldn't it disturb the people? Zhang Yu, 日本天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天开天�

Looking at Zhu Yu who was kneeling on the ground and his head was drooping, Zhu Di smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, you and the soldiers under your command have been trained well. I will soon be able to use you. The training place should not be too far from Yingtian, but it is not too close."

I can understand it. Zhu Di wanted to attack Annan in the south. This matter is...haha, it's a matter of beauty. In addition to the Yuanmeng in the north, the Ming Dynasty could also use troops, which was the Baiyue in the south.

After giving these instructions, Zhu Di said to Zhu Wu weakly: "Yu'er, you are too reckless. Lei Zhenyuan was ordered by his father to fight. He was not strict in his control. Could it be that he should not fight? You feel sorry for your subordinates, which is understandable, but the national laws cannot be abolished. How many should you fight later? You have to continue fighting... The troops in your hands have been taken back for your father, and you have no objection?"

Zhu Li pursed his lips and whispered: "My son has no objection."

Li Feng smiled gloatingly beside him. Zhu Yu, who had no soldiers and horses, was even a tiger without minions, and what waves could he make?

Zhu Di sighed in a low voice: "Forget it, you and the third brother are old, so you should do something for your father. You have granted a fiefdom for you and the third brother, and you can take care of it yourself. However, your fiefdom is still quite rich, and there are not many bandits and thieves, so your father reduced your guard by 5,000, and you have no objection?"

Zhu Li was very angry. The general rule of the Ming Dynasty was not many soldiers and horses, and Zhu Di also cut 5,000 of his men. Wouldn't he have to go out naked when he went out on the streets in the future? But he knew that this was the time when Zhu Di was most annoyed, so it would be better not to anger Zhu Di, so Zhu Li was honestly suffering from this mute loss.

Zhu Di shook his head, looked at Zhu Li for a while, then looked at the anxious Minister of War, and thought a little puzzled: "Yu'er was not a person who was too impulsive in the past, but today he suddenly took the risk of assassinating Li Feng? He mobilized his troops privately. If it weren't for the father-son relationship, I'd cut him ten times enough. Well, hehe, I'd be crazy to take over the throne? My body is still very strong, so where is it your turn to peek at the throne?"

After a long silence in the hall, Zhu Di finally made a decision: "Okay, which Qing family has something to report today? If not, I will leave the court...Master Daoyan, please stay."

The civil and military ministers came out one after another, and no one said anything more. Zhu Xi looked at Zhu Yu proudly, signaling the followers to carry Li Feng and the others to go out. Zhu Yu knelt on the ground, waiting for Zhu Di to signal him to stand up, but after a long time, he heard Zhu Di's heavy footsteps heading towards the inner palace, but there was still no sound coming, so he stood up slowly in despair.

Zhu Yu felt extremely humiliated and failed at Li Feng's hands; but he was also very glad that except for Lei Zhenyuan being beaten up, he actually suffered no loss. Perhaps the only loss was his image in the minds of civil and military ministers. He didn't need the so-called military power at all. He didn't want to rebel for the time being, because he still had hope of winning in the competition with Zhu Xi.

"It's a pity that I almost succeeded. Why didn't Li Feng get a few more arrows?"

Zhu Di looked at the empty hall, but suddenly laughed in a low voice. He was relaxed all over and had never felt so good. This time, Zhu Di actually learned to use confusing means to deal with the problem, but he was giving himself a free gift.

"Next time, Li Feng, you will never have such good luck next time. I will not let you go unless you don't become the commander of the Jinyiwei... Humph, Jinyiwei, the imperial guard, um, the imperial guard, but the generals of the imperial guard are the third brother. I have to think of a way, how can I get the master of the Cangfeng Fort to join my subordinates?"

Inside the palace, deep in the forbidden palace, Zhu Di stood by the frozen pond and sighed to the sky. "Emperor, it's not easy to do... I finally understand the difficulties of my father back then. Daoyan, what do you have to teach me? I can't watch my sons hostile to each other and ruin the world of my Ming Dynasty."

Monk Daoyan had long been confident. He said with a smile: "This matter is very easy. Your Majesty makes some tricks. After the spring begins, he will ensure that the few Your Highnesses can't fight even if they want to fight... Now that the few Your Highnesses are so excited, it's just that the world is peaceful and they have nothing to do. Your Majesty finds them something to do, and then transfers all the capable generals of their subordinates away. Could it be that the few Your Highnesses will fight with them personally?"

Zhu Di looked at Monk Daoyan excitedly and smiled, "I know you have a way, come on."
