Zhu Xu waited until the evening, but did not wait for His Highness Xin's brief report, and returned to Jinghuan Palace bored.

As soon as Zhu Xu entered the door, he shouted to Yao Qingqing not far away, "Sister Qingqing, I'm hungry when I cook something." Queen Zhang ate snacks, but she didn't suppress her hunger.

Yao Qingqing quickly agreed and got up and walked inside.

"Your Highness."

Cao Wenzhao also came back from outside the palace at this time, and said with a strange expression: "The people arranged by His Highness King Xin seem to have been evacuated."

Zhu Xugang sat down on the recliner, took a book, was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Have you really evacuated?"

Cao Wenzhao said: "Yes, I've really evacuated. I sent someone to inquire. I heard that His Highness Xin was very angry. He seemed to have scolded Yu Guo in the palace for being useless and was just waiting for death. "

Zhu Xu blinked, and probably there were even more ugly words Cao Wenzhao didn't dare to say.

He murmured in his heart that he really believed in His Royal Highness's character. Once he had a certain definition of others, it would be useless for anyone to persuade him. In history, after becoming the emperor, no one who gave him this impression would end up with a good end, and he would not let him go even if he died in battle.

Like Sun Chuanting.

"Look for someone to stare at me, be careful."

Zhu Xu was still not very relieved about Zhu Youjian, so he thought about it and said.

Cao Wenzhao also nodded. Everything else was fine. If the arsenal was exposed, it would definitely be a collapse of the sky and the earth.

Cao Huachun seemed to have suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, it is said that the commander Sun from Liaodong is going to return to Beijing to report his duties."

Sun Chengzong?

Zhu Xu's brows moved slightly. This person was the most powerful person in guarding Shanhaiguan or Liaodong now, but Liaodong has always been a place of right and wrong. No matter who is there, impeachment complaints are indispensable, and they are related to all aspects.

Zhu Xu lowered his head and thought, he suppressed Wei Zhongxian without his restraint, and Nurhaci's serious injury did not heal, will the situation change?

After thinking for a while, Zhu Xu had no idea at all, so he could only ask Cao Wenzhao, "Do you know what it is for?"

"It is said to be a matter of Liao dynasty." Cao Wenzhao said.

Zhu Xu nodded. In history, this problem has always troubled the Ming Dynasty until the end of Chongzhen.

During this period of the Ming Dynasty, it was located in a small ice river, with natural disasters including earthquakes, droughts, locusts, etc., and man-made disasters, in addition to external causes, are the huge scholar-official class and royal relatives. Not only do they not have to pay a penny, they continue to erode every bit of flesh and blood of the Ming Dynasty, which has been swaying. Therefore, the treasury income of the Ming Dynasty was decreasing, and the amount of money used for military pay in various places and disaster relief increased.

Naturally, all this was passed on to the lower class people, and officials forced the people to rebel, and this was repeated.

Seeing Zhu Xu silent, Cao Wenzhao asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, do you want to meet Sun Shin?" He could vaguely understand the intention of Zhu Xu in everything he did, so he asked.

Sun Chengzong had a very high prestige, not only in the Donglin Party, but also in the people, and was also the head teacher of Emperor Zhu Youxiao, which was naturally even more different.

Logically speaking, such a person with high prestige should not be impeached. However, the situation in the Ming Dynasty at this time was strange and unpredictable. No one could guarantee that anyone would not be knocked down by the wall the next day, and the ending would be miserable.

Therefore, no matter whether it is the Minister of the Six Ministry, the Head of the Nine Ministers, or the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, they are all worried.

This also caused a situation of constant change of people in the court. Chongzhen changed thirty-seven chief ministers in more than ten years, which shows that it was obvious.

Zhu Xu shook his head slightly and said, "No need, we are powerless now, so we should do our own thing quickly." He also wants power but no power, and he wants money but no money, so he can only add a piece of footsteps and leave it for the future.

Cao Wenzhao also nodded. Zhu Xu's identity is relatively sensitive and many things cannot be done clearly.

He thought for a while and said, "Also, Your Highness, that maid is that beloved son, how should we deal with it?"

Zhu Xu lay on the chair, her eyes chilling. This maid was so scheming at such a young age that she must not stay in the palace! But she knew too many secrets, so she was not at ease if she let them go.

Zhu Xu knocked on the table with his right hand and silently calculated. He didn't like to kill people unless he had no choice.

Suddenly, Zhu Xu felt aroused in his heart and said, "Go and buy Cuifang Building and leave it to her to do it."

Cao Wenzhao was stunned and said, "Your Highness, what is this?"

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, calculating in his heart, but did not say it out loud, saying, "Send someone to stare at her, come back and tell me if there is any situation."

Cao Wenzhao knew what he wanted to do, and knew that His Highness Hui might be planning for another matter, so he agreed and went out to make arrangements.

Zhu Xu lay on the side of the lounge chair, flipping through the book, but couldn't read it. He felt all kinds of thoughts in his heart, and he tilted his head and fell asleep in a mess.

Yao Qingqing had finished cooking and was about to come out to call Zhu Xu, but saw that he was already asleep. He walked over gently, took the book aside, took out the blanket to cover him, and sat aside by herself, quietly stabbed Nu Hong.

"Brother Wei, Brother Wei, guess what I found?"

The moon was hanging high, Hou Guoxing rushed into the Wei Mansion and shouted loudly at Wei Liangqing in the study.

This was his previous habit, and he didn't care much about Wei Liangqing. Wei Liangqing's eyes flashed coldly, then he smiled and asked excitedly: "What did you find?"

Hou Guoxing moved a chair, sat next to him, and said, "I found a big, rich man with a wealthy man, said to be worth millions, and now he is in the capital."

Wei Liangqing was disdainful. He had lived a lot of life in the Jinyiwei, and had confiscated many high-ranking officials and had many wealthy families with millions of dollars. Why should he be excited about this?

Hou Guoxing seemed to see Wei Liangqing's thoughts, and leaned closer and whispered, "My people also found out that he had a warehouse outside the city. Do you know what he transported? Private salt, ironware, and tea were all shipped to Liaodong! I guess it would be worth at least one million taels of silver!"

Wei Liangqing suddenly jumped in his heart, opened his eyes and said, "Are you saying true?"

Hou Guoxing nodded and said, "I have seen it myself, it is indeed."

Wei Liangqing stood up and paced back and forth behind the desk, his face changing.

Smuggling salt, iron, tea and porcelain to the Jin people was almost an open secret in the Ming Dynasty. Although the emperor strictly prohibited it and the court repeatedly declared the orders, the following people never stopped because these people not only had the support of high-ranking officials in the court, but also had border troops involved!

They did not start now, but in fact they smuggled the Mongols from the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and changed to the Jin people over hundreds of years. They have a very mature operating method that involves all aspects and has long been deeply rooted.

Wei Liangqing was excited. If he could take this person, he would have a million taels of cash. However, these people had a complicated relationship and were deeply involved. If they were not careful, they would be afraid that they would not be able to eat the fox and would be flirting.

Hou Guoxing looked at Wei Liangqing's expression and vaguely guessed something, tentatively saying, "Brother Wei, isn't it that the noble man doesn't want us to do this?"

‘Who is there any Queen in the world doing such a robber?’

However, Wei Liangqing did not say it thoroughly and pondered for a while and said, "In this way, you send someone to stare at the warehouse first. This is the first thing the noble person told me. You must not make any mistakes. I will go and meet him in person tomorrow."

When Hou Guoxing heard this, he had to nod and said, "Okay."
