My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 455 Liu Mian's Situation

"Board!"

Following Zhu Zhanhe's order, [-] immigrants began to line up in several long queues, and slowly boarded the ship in an orderly manner.

Zhang Zhong took his wife Bai Shao and other people from the Han Palace to board his boat, and Zhu Zhanhe also boarded the boat in person to say goodbye to them.

Before, Zhu Zhanhe sent someone to inform Princess Han, so Princess Han chose Zhu Gaoxu's three concubines, and a group of servants from the palace, who were escorted by Zhang Zhong to Tianzhu.

"Zhan He, besides the letter, is there anything else you want me to say to the King of Han?"

Zhang Zhong asked Zhu Zhanhe when he left.

"It's nothing, I've written everything I want to say in the letter, but if you meet Zhan Qi, let him come back early, I have something to tell him."

Zhu Zhanhe thought for a while before opening his mouth.

With Yang Shiqi and others assisting Zhu Gaoxu, there shouldn't be any problems. What he is most worried about now is Zhu Zhanqi. I wonder if a conflict will break out after he and Zhu Gaoxu meet?

"Okay, then I'll take my leave, take care of yourself in Daming!"

Zhang Zhong said goodbye to Zhu Zhanhe.

"Bon Voyage!"

Zhu Zhanhe also cupped his hands and said, then he turned around and got off the boat.

After the immigrants boarded the ship, the entire fleet slowly set sail, and after leaving the port, it quickly disappeared into the vast sea.

After Zhang Zhong's fleet left, most of the Laizhou Port was emptied, and there were also quite a few empty places in the refugee camp behind the port.

"Your Majesty, after 2 people leave, we will have much more food. If another batch of ships comes in a few months, the immigrants from Shandong can be sent to Tianzhu!"

Li Qi happily reported to Zhu Zhanhe as he walked.

Before, he also suggested sending immigrants to the Zhoushan Islands to reduce the pressure on Laizhou, but with the arrival of Zhang Zhong, there is no need to send people to Zhoushan anymore.

"Tang Sai'er and their fleet should be back soon. Then everything will be done according to this standard. If you have any problems, please send someone to report to me!"

Zhu Zhanhe nodded and said.

"Send someone to report? Your Majesty, you want to leave Laizhou?"

Li Qi couldn't help but asked in surprise when he heard this.

"That's right, refugees from all over Shandong gather in Laizhou, and the pressure on other places is much less, and it's time to settle the matter!"

Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help but sneer when he said the last thing.

Such a big disturbance in Shandong is said to be a natural disaster, but it is actually a man-made disaster. If the officials hadn't covered up the news and even bullied the people wantonly, it would not have caused such a serious situation.

The reason why those officials were not moved before was because the situation in Shandong was severe, and Zhu Di was worried that it would cause more trouble, but now that the situation in Shandong has stabilized, it is natural to find those officials to settle accounts.

So as early as a few days ago, Zhu Di had sent people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang to Shandong to obey Zhu Zhanhe's dispatch, asking him to arrest all the officials involved in the case, and then escort them to the capital for questioning.

Li Qi was also taken aback when he heard Zhu Zhanhe's words. Thinking of what Zhu Zhanhe did when he was in Zhejiang, it is estimated that the entire officialdom in Shandong will be cleaned up by His Royal Highness this time.

Of course, Li Qi knew his identity and didn't dare to express any opinion on such a heinous case. He just promised again and again that he would help Zhu Zhanhe handle the matter in Laizhou.

Zhu Zhanhe is also very satisfied with Li Qi. This person is capable and knows how to advance and retreat. He is definitely a rare talent. In the future, no matter what, he will come to help him.

After dealing with the matter in Laizhou, Zhu Zhanhe immediately rushed to Jinan Mansion with Cao Lei and Liu Mian.

"My son, we have already found out that the masterminds who covered up the disaster in Shandong were the Shandong chief envoy Chu Yun and Zhang Hai, and dozens of other officials were also involved. It can be said that there are almost no senior officials in Shandong's chief envoy. One is innocent!"

On the way to Jinan, Liu Mian reported to Zhu Zhanhe on horseback.

"The disaster in Shandong is serious. There are 10,000+ refugees all over the country, but the court has not received any reports. Of course, such a big matter cannot be covered up by one or two officials. Only when they collude with each other can they be concealed so closely!"

When Zhu Zhanhe said it to the end, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"My son, according to our investigation, Chu Yun and Zhang Hai are not very greedy for money. They even had a good reputation when they were local officials. Even if they reached the high position of chief minister, they have never heard of accepting bribes. Many people have said behind their backs that they are clean and honest officials.”

Liu Mian reported again at this time.

"Integrity? They are not greedy for money, but they are greedy for fame and power. For their own official positions, they even watch hundreds of thousands of people in Shandong fall into misery. They are simply more hateful than corrupt officials who are greedy for money!"

When Zhu Zhanhe thought about the miserable situation of those refugees, he wished he could fly to Jinan now and arrest all the officials like Zhang Hai!

"What the prince said is that I have met many officials like this in the past few years in Jinyiwei. It seems that they are not greedy for money, but when they are really ruthless, they are much more terrifying than those officials who are greedy for money!"

Liu Mian also repeatedly agreed.

"Have you sent someone to keep an eye on officials like Zhang Hai so that they don't escape?"

Zhu Zhanhe took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement and asked again.

"Don't worry, my son, everyone has been watched closely by us, and there will never be any accidents!"

Liu Mian patted his chest and promised.

"That's good!"

Zhu Zhanhe nodded reassuringly, then looked at Liu Mian and asked again.

"How are you doing recently? Did my elder brother make things difficult for you after he returned to the capital?"

Hearing Zhu Zhanhe's question about his situation, Liu Mian immediately said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, you are not in the capital during this time, and I have no backing behind me. It is really difficult to live alone in Jinyiwei. The grandson supports me. That Wang Zhi is against me every now and then, and now Jinyiwei has split into two factions, one faction I can temporarily mobilize, and the other faction is headed by Wang Zhi, and I have nothing to do with them."

Liu Mian couldn't help sighing when he reached the end, Zhu Zhanji was determined to control Jin Yiwei, and Liu Mian, as the person Zhu Zhanhe single-handedly brought up, would naturally be purged.

So now Liu Mian is very worried about his own life. After all, as the commander of Jin Yiwei, as long as he loses power, he will never end well.

"Then do you have any plans?"

After Zhu Zhanhe pondered for a moment, he asked Liu Mian.

Now Liu Mian is in a very bad situation. Even with Zhu Zhanhe's support, he can only barely survive in Jinyiwei. After all, Zhu Zhanji is the grandson, and will be the prince and the emperor in the future. Jinyiwei serves as the emperor's eyes and ears. It can only be left to the control of one's own confidants.

So Liu Mian will be liquidated sooner or later, Zhu Zhanhe has the intention to help him, but it also depends on his own will.
