The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 80 The loving father is furious and the rebellious son
It's possible, but it's also possible that His Highness just said what he thought, without thinking too much, and just said it directly when he felt unhappy.

Those are your highness's true thoughts, and he has no other purpose.

There is nothing too cunning about it, it is just a simple reminder to all officials.

He doesn't like hypocrisy.

“It would be a good thing if Your Highness always remained upright and loved the people like his own children.

We should also stabilize the court." Xie Qian reminded vaguely.

There is no point in thinking too much now, let’s just see what we do next and how to deal with the impact.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang's faces changed slightly and they felt a headache again.

No matter what the prince said today.

His refusal to give in and his hypocritical words would surely cause a stir both inside and outside the court.

As cabinet ministers, they have to come forward.

With the prince's current prestige and strength, it will not cause major turmoil.

I'm afraid there are countless people who just want to watch the joke, especially from other Han countries.

The literati there will look down on the literati of the Ming Dynasty even more.

Also, they will certainly be highlighted in history books; none of them can escape.

He taught such a "barbarian" prince!
The more I think about it, the more tired I feel.

Zhu Wusi and the nobles had more contact with the prince.

But at this time they were also a little surprised and uncertain.

Your Highness, did you do this on purpose or have some other purpose?
Or is it just plain unhappiness?

In addition to these people who think too much, there are also a small number of officials who feel a little uncomfortable.

How can Your Highness say, "You are all my sons"?

Although it’s not too wrong, he is the king and father after all.

But it always feels awkward.

···
"Hahahaha~!"

Zhu Houzhao's proud and arrogant laughter was heard in the East Palace.

"Liu Banban, was this prince domineering and powerful just now?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin proudly.

"Your Highness is the most domineering and powerful. All the ministers were sweating profusely just now because of your mighty power." Liu Jin smiled helplessly but without hesitation.

“Hahaha.” Zhu Houzhao laughed again and said proudly, “This is what I thought about for a long time.

Humph, what's with all the refusing and declining? This prince is a real man who will not do such hypocritical things.

There are so many hypocritical officials in this court, and this is a good opportunity to teach them a lesson."

"Your Highness." Liu Jin hesitated, but still asked cautiously, "You have already thought about it, why didn't you mention it beforehand?"

Why didn’t you even tell me in advance?

This made Liu Jin feel uneasy, because the prince used to tell him everything immediately.

This question made Zhu Houzhao even more proud.

“If I had said this beforehand, you, Liu Banban, and others would have certainly advised me.

Although this prince does not listen, he will still feel annoyed.

Therefore, this prince will not say anything, but endure it first, and then suddenly send out troops, and the attack will surely hit the target.

how about it?
This is what this prince learned from the method of fighting, isn't it powerful?"

Knowing that the prince did not distrust him, Liu Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's amazing, Prince, you are simply born to be an emperor.

This move was really brilliant. It caught the ministers off guard and made them panic. "

While complimenting him, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Will you treat us like this in the future?
This is really an unacceptable surprise.

"Hahaha."

Zhu Houzhao smiled, then frowned and said, "What do you mean by being caught off guard and panicking?
All the ministers will be considered the sons of this prince from now on. As long as they are well, why should this prince beat them for no reason?
This prince wants to be a loving father, unless the son is rebellious."

Having said that, I still feel a little regretful.

The ministers walked away too quickly, and he hadn't heard enough.

"Yes, yes, yes, look at this old slave's broken mouth, he just can't speak.

Your Highness is definitely the best and kindest father of all time." Liu Jin slapped his mouth and smiled.

····
in the afternoon.

"Snapped!"

With a loud bang, the table in front of him shattered. Zhu Houzhao stood up like an angry dragon or tiger.

"How dare they! They are courting death."

"Catch them all immediately. Don't let any of them go."

"All those who participated in this and harmed the people, I will kill them all."

The angry shouts made the hall seem to tremble.

Everyone knelt down, and in front of them were Zhang Fengfu, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and Cao Zhengchun from the Eastern Depot.

Since Cao Zhengchun came back, he handed over the East Factory to Li Guang, and is now the director and supervisor of the East Factory.

“Your Highness, according to the information sent back by Yan Nantian, there are too many people implicated behind the Eight Great Shanxi Merchants who smuggled into the enemy country and collaborated with the enemy to sell out their country.

From the princes, provincial governors, border troops, to the martial arts forces, all were involved.

What's more, there are countless people who occupy the land.

Your Highness, there are thousands of people directly involved, and countless others implicated.

If a major war breaks out, I'm afraid SX Province will immediately fall into chaos.

Please think twice, Your Highness."

Zhang Fengfu said solemnly.

He also wanted to catch all those evildoers in one fell swoop, but he knew that he couldn't do that. "Yes, Your Highness, Jin is full of mountains, hills, and gullies. The Taiyuan Basin is interspersed with the Taihang Mountains, Hengshan Mountains, Taiyue Mountains, Zhongtiao Mountains and other mountains. There are many bandits roaring in the mountains and forests.

There are also numerous escort agencies in various places, which are intertwined and complex.

Once they are all arrested, the whole province will be in chaos and we won't be able to accomplish our mission." Although Cao Zhengchun disliked Zhang Fengfu, he still agreed.

After discovering that the eight major Shanxi merchants were smuggling Jiannu and collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country, Zhu Houzhao ordered a thorough investigation.

After defeating Kublai Khan, Zhu Houzhao, knowing that the problem was becoming more and more serious, sent Yan Nantian and Cao Shaoqin over.

It was not until today that Yan Nantian and Cao Shaoqin sent back detailed news.

Yan Nantian, a rookie who was full of enthusiasm and had no idea how to adapt, and Cao Shaoqin, who was determined to make a contribution, reported back all the illegal activities they found.

It’s not just smuggling into enemy countries, there’s also land grabbing, rampant banditry and so on.

Zhang Fengfu and Cao Zhengchun had no choice but to report the truth, nor did they dare to hide it.

"Get up, what does this have to do with you? And those bandits!"

Zhu Houzhao became even angrier, "My Ming Dynasty will never allow bandits to exist."

“Remember this, I, the crown prince, will not care how many people are involved.

Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, so what? "

“This prince doesn’t care who is involved, no matter who he is.

Be it the vassal kings or the martial arts world, this prince will not let any of them go.

If Jin dares to cause chaos, then let it happen. This prince will personally lead the troops and sweep it away."

Zhang Fengfu and Cao Zhengchun were stunned and did not stand up.

He wanted to persuade him, but seeing Zhu Houzhao's extremely determined expression and eyes, he shut up again.

Because Zhang Fengfu knew that he couldn't persuade him.

Cao Zhengchun didn't dare.

“Your Highness, if you want to wipe out Jin completely in one fell swoop, you must not be impatient.

The power of the Jinyiwei and the Eastern Depot alone is far from enough.

It requires a multi-faceted approach to eliminate these evil spirits one by one."

Zhang Fengfu hesitated for a moment, and seeing that he could not dissuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he suddenly became high-spirited and excited, and said seriously.

He had always wanted to clean up the filth, but he knew that he was far from capable of doing so.

Now that His Highness does not tolerate any injustice, how can he not try his best?

"What do you mean? Tell me." Zhu Houzhao said in a softer tone.

“Your Highness, it’s easy to arrest the officials in Jin, but it’s hard to deal with the powerful martial arts forces and bandits.

Even if a large army was dispatched, it would be difficult to solve the problem if they hid in the mountains and forests.

I dare to ask for help from the martial arts forces under that clan member.

Only by joining forces with Jinyiwei and Dongchang, pulling one group against another and making a comprehensive layout, can we wipe out Jin completely. "Zhang Fengfu said solemnly.

Although the contact was not in-depth, he had already realized that the martial arts force controlled by the mysterious clan member was very strong.

With their help, many things become simple.

Cao Zhengchun, who was kneeling beside him, couldn't help but stare blankly at Zhang Fengfu, feeling unwilling and repulsive.

I cursed myself inwardly, why couldn't I think of it?
He gritted his teeth and said quickly, "Your Highness, this old servant thinks the same."

Liu Jin couldn't help but look at Cao Zhengchun with disdain, saying that he really brought shame to us eunuchs.

Zhang Fengfu couldn't help but glance at Cao Zhengchun, but he didn't pay much attention.

Zhu Houzhao thought about it seriously and said angrily: "Okay, this prince will let my uncle join forces with the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang.

Besides, the troops led by the old king have just left Jin not far away, and this prince will send a message to him.

The four of you should work together to make plans and preparations for this prince.

This prince will not let any of them go."

"Yes, I will catch all these evil spirits in one fell swoop." Zhang Fengfu said passionately, feeling his blood boiling.

"I will never let these beasts live any longer." Cao Zhengchun said unwillingly.

Soon, Zhu Ye arrived.

After listening, Zhu Ye and Zhu Houzhao talked alone.

"Your Highness, if you do this, I'm afraid the relationship between the Qinglong Society and my royal family can no longer be hidden." Zhu Ye said in a serious voice.

"If you can't hide it, then don't hide it.

The existence of the Qinglong Society is mainly for the people of the Ming Dynasty, and there are not so many concerns.

Uncle, this time, you must do your best to clean up Jin." Zhu Houzhao said domineeringly.

“Your Highness, the real backers behind the gentry, landlords, and even some officials in various places are the martial arts forces that hold power.

These martial arts forces are equivalent to the princes, and they are intertwined and complex.

In the Jin area, although most of the martial arts forces are green forest, some are evil, there are not many righteous ones.

But once they are touched, the martial arts world will certainly be on guard, and the relationship between the court and the martial arts world will probably become tense. "Zhu Ye's tone became more serious, and he said part of the words openly.

"so what?
In the Ming Dynasty, no one who harms the people is allowed to exist.

Uncle, you don't need to say more, I know everything." Zhu Houzhao said without hesitation.

Zhu Ye had little confidence in the last sentence.

However, seeing that he was so determined, I could only give up trying to persuade him.

My mind is flickering.

With His Highness' current power, it is not impossible for him to make some changes in the martial arts world of Jin.

Thinking of this, his heart began to heat up.

Night Emperor, Night Emperor, this is also his chance.

"Yes, I obey your command." Zhu Ye bowed solemnly.

(I forgot to mention that the first order is about 300, and the average order in the future will be 300 as the starting point. For every 100 more, I will try my best to add one more chapter. Thank you for your support.)
