Chapter 310: Decision to eliminate evil

Zhu Yunwen praised him clearly out of reality. Xiao Fan may regard money as dirt, but the premise is that money is other people's money, and if it is really his own, it is impossible to be a cent or a cent.

The Duke of the State had no surplus food, and Xiao Fan was still 108,000 miles away from the "righteous man".

Xiao Fan didn't mind if 200,000 was reduced to 100,000. He knew that even if only 100,000 taels were enough for Ji Gang to drink a pot. Ten taels of silver can support a family these days, and 100,000 taels is also an astronomical figure. It depends on how Ji Gang makes money. Anyway, Ji Gang has the bad reputation, and Xiao Fan has the benefits, so why not do it?

Zhu Yunwen naturally didn't know that Xiao Fan was so confused. As soon as the emperor opened his golden mouth, Xiao Fan reduced his 100,000 yuan without blinking. It was so shameful, so Zhu Yunwen was very happy. When the emperor was happy, rewards were naturally indispensable.

"Xiao Shixuan is righteous and wealthy, and I can't let you suffer any loss. This way, you have no children now. If your wives give birth to your son, no matter how many of them, I will give them a title. If your daughter is born, I will also give her the title of princess. My eldest son Wen Kui is three years old this year. After the spring begins, I plan to make him the crown prince. Let's have a family of children. If you have a daughter in the future, I will make her the crown prince. What about?"

Xiao Fan was stunned when he heard this.

This was a really surprising surprise. According to the rules, although Xiao Fan's future throne of the kingdom was inherited, he could only be inherited by his eldest son, and the other sons would not have such a good life. But now Zhu Yunwen opened this golden word, which was equivalent to giving other sons of the Xiao family who were not qualified to inherit the title. Every descendant of the Xiao family could be awarded an official position as soon as they were born. It is conceivable that the future Xiao family will be prominent and will reach the extreme glory of the ministers.

As for the daughter being named the crown princess...

"Your Majesty, is your eldest son handsome?" Xiao Fan asked carefully.

Zhu Yunwen had known the meaning of "handsome", so he was so angry that he hummed: "It's much more handsome than you!"

Xiao Fan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, my future daughter will definitely be beautiful. How can a beauty be worthy of an ugly man? Since Your Majesty's eldest son is not ugly, this marriage minister agrees!"

Zhu Yunwen is so angry. Your daughter is still not yet visible. You are starting to pick on others. Who are you?

The king and his ministers chatted for a while, and Zhu Yunwen suddenly remembered something.

"Zhou Xian, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, retired before a few years, and his position as the minister was empty. Ji Gang recommended a person to me this morning, named Huang Yan, who was Zhangde's supervisor. The Ministry of Personnel is the head of the six ministries, and the position of the minister is of great importance. I am a little confused. What does Xiao Shidu think of this person?"

Xiao Fan felt a sudden warning when he heard this.

He didn't know Huang Yan and had no impression of him, but he could hear the keywords of this sentence - "Ji Gang".

Huang Yan was recommended by Ji Gang. In other words, Ji Gang has not stopped cultivating party members. It is obvious that Huang Yan has become in love with him. The Ministry of Personnel is the most important department among the six ministries. It controls the assessment, appointment and removal of officials in the world. Officials of the Ministry of Personnel have always been called "Heavenly Officials". The power is so great that it is conceivable that Ji Gang actually wanted to insert his confidants into the Ministry of Personnel. This calculation is exquisite...

Recently, Xiao Fan had a series of blows to Ji Gang. He originally thought that Ji Gang would somewhat restrain his ambitions, be his deputy commander, and do less evil ways. Unexpectedly, Xiao Fan still underestimated Ji Gang's ambitions. He seized all opportunities and climbed up wildly, and realized his ambition step by step. If such a person really took power, what would the court become?

Some people are born with a tragic look and can only beat him to death with one stick. If he keeps him in one breath, he can make a sequel in which a bad person comes back from the dead and commits destruction everywhere. Ji Gang is such a person.

At this moment, Xiao Fan finally made up his mind to kill Ji Gang!

This is no longer a matter for the court and the country. In the past two years, Xiao Fan and Ji Gang have formed such a great hatred. According to Ji Gang's vindictive character, if he is allowed to take over, it will become a climate. I don't know how much trouble or even danger it will bring to him in the future. Such a person cannot be kept!

As for the moment, it is necessary to disrupt Huang Yan's affairs as the Minister of Personnel. It is a very simple truth. What the statutory plan is to destroy it yourself.

After calming down, Xiao Fan decided to talk nonsense. Anyway, Zhu Yunwen believed him so much and would not verify it. Even if it was checked, it would not matter. The Duke of the State is a nobleman, and he has a bad memory. It is normal for him to miss the emperor.

Xiao Fan frowned and thought for a while, and hesitated: "I seem to have heard of this person Huang Yan..."

"What's this person's character?"

Xiao Fan sighed and said, "I dare not speak nonsense about my character, but I have heard of a few things..."

"What's up?"

Xiao Fan smiled, and he looked like a villain slandering, and said with a smile: "I heard that Huang Yan was a private school. Later, the private school he studied went bankrupt because his husband died of illness. Later, he joined the scholar and became an aide to the magistrate of a certain county. Later, the magistrate was beheaded for corruption. Later, he joined the Tanwang Mansion as an aide. In the 23rd year of Hongwu, the Tanwang died of self-immolation in the Hu Dang case. Later, he passed the Jinshi and was appointed as the censor of the Zhangde Mansion. In the first year of Jianwen, Yan Ni rebelled and the Zhangde Mansion fell... Your Majesty, he is now going to enter the Ministry of Personnel in the court, this..."

Zhu Yunwen's eyes were dull and silent for a long time, murmured: "This guy is simply a broom star..."

"It's not just a broom star, it's simply a lonely star in Tiansha. However, we can't be too superstitious about this, otherwise... Your Majesty will give it a try? Maybe it's not that evil..." Xiao Fan smiled badly.

Zhu Yunwen was shocked and started a cold war and said resolutely: "No! I dare not take risks with my ancestors. That Huang Yan... Well, isn't there a chieftain rebellion in Shu? Send him to Shu as a entrusted person. Even if he can't be entrusted, it would be good to harm those chieftains... It's just decided!"

"Your Majesty...Saintly!"

Huang Yan was listed as a rejected household because of Xiao Fan's words. His career was so painful that he died of old age.

Taking a team is a very important science!

——There is another important science, that is... don’t offend villains!

Ji Gang Mansion inner hall.

Bang!

The best official kiln blue porcelain cup was smashed into pieces by Ji Gang. The servants were so scared that they fell to the ground and did not dare to show off.

The right censor Jing Qing sat on the left, his face slightly pale.

Jing Qing, Ji Gang's hard-core clerk, was the former censor of the Right Capital Censor, and Ji Gang found an excuse to be dismissed. Jing Qing hugged Ji Gang's thigh and successfully took over, becoming Ji Gang's helper to control the Censorate.

Jing Qing now looked at Ji Gang's ferocious face and felt a little scared.

He always knew that this man was very cruel. Perhaps Ji Gang had enough poverty back then, and he could not tolerate any setbacks once he succeeded. He valued power and even more than his life. Now he lives only for the halo on his head. Once he lost it, he is worthless, so he cannot lose that halo.

However, British Duke Xiao Fan was like a dark cloud pressing over Ji Gang's head, gradually covering up the originally dazzling halo.

Some people are born to be old enemies and will never die, such as Xiao Fan and Ji Gang.

"Hundreds of thousands of taels? Hundreds of thousands of taels!" Ji Gang's eyes were red, and his throat made a low roar like a beast: "Where did I get the Hundreds of thousands of taels? The surname Xiao is so bullying!"

Although Jing Qing was afraid, he still had to whisper: "The emperor asked for mercy to the Lord, Xiao Fan reduced you half..."

Ji Gang's eyes emitted a red light, staring at Jing Qing tightly, and said angrily: "So what if I cut it by half? Is this grace? Is this alms? It is obviously Xiao Fan's intention to blackmail him, but now it seems that I, Ji, owed him a huge favor, 100,000 taels! The person surnamed Xiao is killing me!"

Jing Qing was so cold that Ji Gang was staring at him, and he hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.

Ji Gang paused, and said to the sky with grief and anger: "...Where is the justice and justice in this world?"

Jing Qing: “…………”

Ji Gang framed so many ministers, killed so many people, and confiscated so many property. Why didn’t you hear this at that time? Now that people are bullied, I think God is your godfather... Do you think God is your godfather?

Jing Qing lowered his head, but a very absurd feeling appeared in his heart, and he was also a little sad. Following such a master, his future is worrying...

"Sir, Xiao Fan does evil deeds too much, and God will accept him. If you don't want to offend Xiao Fan at the moment, you have to raise 100,000 taels of silver quickly, otherwise... no one can figure out the vein of Xiao, and he knows what he will do next!"

Ji Gang was shocked, regained his rationality, and gritted his teeth and said, "One hundred thousand taels...Where did I get so much money?"

Jing Qing thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, sir, you have a way to raise money..."

Ji Gang's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "What method? Tell me quickly!"

"Sir, last year Xiao Fan quelled the Yan rebellion. Everyone in the Ming Dynasty was in danger. They asked to cut off the vassals and went to Beijing to retire. After the New Year, they were about to enter Beijing. The vassals were guarding their fiefdoms for many years, and they were all rich... As the saying goes, the phoenix with wings was not as good as a chicken. The emperor was very cautious about the vassals. The vassals would be trembling in the capital. If the vassals went to visit one by one..."

When Jing Qing said this, she smiled slightly and stopped talking.

Ji Gang's eyes lit up and he immediately understood the unfinished meaning of the words.

Jing Qing continued: "In addition, the first civil and military officials from all over the country came to Beijing to report their duties in the spring, and the palace maids' talent show that will start soon this year, etc.... Adults are in a high position, and it is actually very simple to want money. Why bother with this yellow and white thing?"

Ji Gang thought for a while and felt that these methods were quite feasible. He felt relieved and suddenly laughed.

"I have Lord Jing, the favor of heaven!"

Xiao Fan slowly walked out of the palace, his heart a little heavy.

Just now, Xiao Fan opened his mouth several times, trying to mention the transfer of the capital to Zhu Yunwen, but when he said that, he saw Zhu Yunwen's happy appearance, so he had to hold it back.

——It’s rare to be so happy during the New Year. Don’t make things difficult for him for the time being.

Is it necessary to move?

Very necessary!

In the history of his previous life, Zhu Di usurped the throne. The reason why he decided to move the capital was because he was not right and was uncomfortable in the Nanjing Palace. The second was because although Jiangnan was prosperous, it was easier to breed the twilight atmosphere of the court and the atmosphere of luxury and enjoyment. Such a country would not last long. Since ancient times, those who had established their capital in Jiangnan rarely had a capital of more than a hundred years, because Jiangnan was too

The prosperous scenes fascinated the eyes of those in power. A leaf was blinded and could not see Mount Tai. They thought that the world was really peaceful, so they rested and enjoyed. They ignored the coveted gaze of the invaders outside, and were in dire straits with the people of the world. Over time, the court was seriously disconnected from the outside world, the government deceived the superiors and concealed the subordinates, the emperor was extravagant and greedy, the officials were levying and greedy, and the foreign enemies took the opportunity to invade the situation... How can such a country be defended?

The ancestors said it well, "Born in distress, die in happiness."

The current Jianwen court eliminated the threat from the vassal kings. The court was peaceful, without worries inside and without any troubles outside. From the emperor to the court officials, everyone lived a very peaceful life, which was not a good thing!

The enemy cannot be eliminated completely. Even if Xiao Fan tried his best to destroy Mongolia, Jurchens, and Japanese pirates, what will happen? Who can guarantee that the Ming Dynasty will have no enemies and will be invincible in the world in the future? A hundred years later, the era of great navigation in Europe began, and the technology of Western countries is changing with each passing day. How can the Ming Dynasty maintain its status as a great country? The history of the previous life cannot be repeated. If the Western powers still bombarded the country with cannons hundreds of years later, Xiao Fan, the time traveler, would probably be so angry that he lifted the lid of the coffin in the nine springs...

what to do?

They must be worried! Moving the capital is the best choice. It is best to choose a place close to the border of Daming, so that the entire court can receive the baptism of war at any time.

Why is the vitality of the entire group much higher if one or two catfishes in the fish?

——Because of distress!

Xiao Fan is this catfish, which is annoying, but it must exist.

The most hero is to save the world without regard for fame. Xiao Fan should be determined to be this evil man!

After the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yunwen resumed the court meeting, and the capital had a fulfilling and worry-free New Year, and it became lively again.

The most lively place is always the turbid place of right and wrong in the court.

In early February, vassal kings from all over the country went to Beijing one after another, and submitted a letter to ask for the reduction of the vassals. Their words were very earnest, especially King Zhu Ji-hyun, the King of Jin, was the most intense. It could almost be said that he was rolling around all over the ground, staying in the capital without leaving, insisting on staying in the capital for retirement, and refusing to return to the Taiyuan fiefdom, and even unwilling to take charge of the military power in Shanxi. Whoever did not agree would die would give him a death to see.

Zhu Yunwen was so happy that after pretending to ask for three requests and three remarks, he followed the situation and agreed to Zhu Ji's request. In order to commend Comrade Zhu Ji's overall situation and be loyal to the emperor, Zhu Yunwen specially found a Feng Shui treasure land for King Jin in the capital. The Ministry of Revenue allocated silver and the Ministry of Industry to build a gorgeous and luxurious royal palace for Zhu Ji's.

The meaning of this action was obviously like a lice on a bald man's head. When the kings saw it, they became more and more sure of the emperor's mind, so they rushed to submit letters like they were scrambling their titles and requested the court to reduce the vassal states.

At the same time, Ji Gang, deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, was not idle. In order to repay the inexplicable huge debts owed to British Duke Xiao Fan, Ji Gang led his confidants to extort the world. The vassal kings who entered the capital, local officials who reported their duties, were blackmailed by him without exception, just like the urban management arrested small vendors for fines. Anyone who entered the capital, whether the vassal kings or foreign officials, asked for money when they saw people, and the food was very ugly. They had to taste the taste of manure. For a time, they caused anger and resentment from the capital. The censors repeatedly impeached them, but they were unable to achieve the result.
