Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 442 Advance as retreat

"With such a commotion, wouldn't the sky in Shandong be broken?"

Thousands of miles away in the capital, it was still the Dongnuan Pavilion. Zhu Youjian's eyes were wide open, with surprise and doubt between his brows, "Brother, have you been planning this before?"

"It's better to pierce it!"

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly: "Under the great Ming Dynasty, so many scandalous things have happened. If I don't completely wash Shandong with blood this time, I will be sorry for those unjust souls who died in vain!!"

This year is difficult for some people.

Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian looked at each other, but an idea came to their hearts. They never expected that there were so many things happening in Shandong without knowing it.

"Judging from the current situation, eradicating all the remnants of the White Lotus, the remnants of oral smuggling, and the hidden piles of the captives in advance will indeed have a strong deterrent effect."

Zhu Yujian calmed down his mind and said with an open eyebrow: "At least those groups under the rule of Shandong will feel fear in their hearts when they know that the elite troops who were ordered to go to Shandong are so strong. In this way, as long as Dongchang, The water transportation within the two prefectures of Yanzhou is stable, and the trackers who are privately recruited can be comforted, and there will be no such big chaos."

Zhu Youjian frowned and said: "It's just that Cui Chengxiu and the others arrested Kong Yinzhi. If this matter is not handled well, it may cause a new disturbance in the capital. After all, Kong Yinzhi is Kong Shangxian's stepson, and Kong Shangxian He has passed away, and the title of Duke Yansheng is vacant."

"Then it depends on how Cui Chengxiu and the others do."

Zhu Youxiao lifted up his robe sleeves and said: "I deliberately chose to take action at this time, leaving them enough time. If they can't handle such things, then they don't have to serve in the Integrity Council."

Yes.

After hearing this, Zhu Yujian quickly realized that it was still the time of rest, and all the ministers in the outer court had been sealed. Even if he wanted to do things, he had to wait until the end of the retreat.

As long as the Integrity Commission led by Cui Chengxiu can find out something in Shandong during this period, or achieve something, as long as it is involved with the Yanshenggong Mansion or the Kong family in Qufu, it will have the upper hand in this matter. .

Does Cui Chengxiu dare?

After all, the Yanshenggong family, or the Confucian family in Qufu, had an extremely transcendent status among the scholars of the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps Cui Chengxiu's previous actions made many civil servants very unhappy, and they privately called him a cruel official, but in the final analysis Ah, Cui Chengxiu is also a scholar.

If you back down in the end, you will become very passive.

Zhu Yujian, who was so excited, soon fell into deep thought.

Zhu Youxiao, who saw this scene, could tell at a glance what Zhu Yujian was thinking. Zhu Youxiao was not 100% sure about what Cui Chengxiu would do, but it was absolutely impossible to make Cui Chengxiu shrink back.

Without him.

Cui Chengxiu's desire for power is too great.

A politician who is extremely obsessed with power asks him to give up his career for some things. Unless he is killed, he will not give up.

However, in order to add a layer of insurance, Zhu Youxiao deliberately chose to bypass Cui Chengxiu and the others in the crackdown operation launched in Shandong, without telling them in advance. The purpose was to let them know the fact that even without relying on the Integrity Council, what happened in Shandong could still be solved. Solved, of course this is the deepest level.

And Zhu Youxiao wanted to use the purge to let Cui Chengxiu and the others intuitively feel that I have sent people to gradually eliminate the unstable factors that suppressed the investigation of your Integrity Institute. If there is no improvement next, then you yourself Just figure it out.

This kind of encouragement is very powerful.

"Brother Imperial, I have something that I don't understand."

Zhu Youjian, who had been thinking, spoke now.

"speak."

Zhu You's speech is concise and concise. "Let's put aside the matter of Kong Yinzhi for the moment. The emperor clearly issued an order to send strong troops from Tongzhou, Tianjin and other places to Shandong to wipe out those evil spirits."

Zhu Youjian expressed his doubts, "Then why did you issue a decree to the Shandong Governor's Yamen, emphasizing that if the Bailian rebellion occurs somewhere under Shandong, the local officials will be held accountable wherever it occurs. But the key to the problem is Didn't it be Cao Wenyao and the others who suppressed these demons and monsters?"

“What is the key to Shandong?”

Zhu Youxiao asked a question.

"Water transport."

Zhu Youjian replied: "As long as there are problems with Shandong's water transportation, Beizhili will inevitably be affected. Once this situation occurs, it will be too harmful to the court."

"Then why did Cui Chengxiu and the others go to Shandong?"

Zhu Youxiao continued to ask.

"Using the North Zhili Cangchang deficit case to investigate Shandong water transport."

Zhu Youjian replied.

"Then how can you ensure that the demons and demons that Cao Wenyao and his troops are annihilating are all the remnants of White Lotus?" Zhu Youxiao asked in return.

"Aren't both Jinyiwei and Luanwei..."

Zhu Youjian, who wanted to answer, stopped when he reached this point. He thought of something, and at the same time he was surprised in his heart, "Brother, is the emperor trying to prevent some people from jumping over the wall?"

"Yes."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "Based on the current situation, the water transportation in Shandong is definitely not a matter of Shandong. I'm afraid people from other places are also involved, otherwise Yan Shenggong Mansion Not a single bloodline will be involved.”

"You can't just look at the surface of the problem. Judging from the information we have, Xu Hongru and others seem to be the ones hiding the most, but in fact there are many interest groups who are hiding even deeper than them."

"The purpose of removing these nails is to ensure the stability of Shandong. Only when Shandong is stable can the water transportation case be investigated in depth. But if Shandong is in chaos, even if Cui Chengxiu and the others find something, the final result will be nothing. .”

"indeed."

Zhu Yujian agreed: "Once Shandong is in chaos, anything is possible. Even if Cui Chengxiu and the others get conclusive evidence, but Shandong is in chaos, who can ensure that these evidences are evidence? What if during this period, they go to The Integrity Institute in Shandong has all its personnel dead, so there is nowhere to investigate.”

"This is called retreating to advance."

Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "I just want to use the power of thunder to scare those young people first and make them think carefully in their hearts."

"If this fails to stabilize Shandong, then I will dispatch more elite troops to Shandong even if Beizhili is temporarily empty."

If that is the case, I'm afraid Shandong will turn into a river of blood!

The two people who heard this were shocked in their hearts. They simply could not imagine how many people would die if Shandong really reached this level.

It's just that they didn't know that even if Shandong didn't reach this stage, many people would die. At least the so-called Qi Party would be wiped out after this! !
