"What's the matter, Your Majesty, it's so mysterious." Liu Hong gradually got up and poured Chongzhen a glass of water.

Chongzhen retracted his eyes and waved his hand to show that he was not thirsty, and Liu Hongjian was not polite and drank two sips by himself.

"Cao Huachun of the East Investigation Factory sent a few days ago to play a clear song, during the period of the Northern Expedition, some courtiers secretly sent people to the Dingwang Mansion!" Chongzhen's eyes were deep, and his eyes were as cold as hooks.

It's not that Chongzhen has any opinions about King Ding, but that Daming has always cared very much about his clan relatives and courtiers.

According to the ancestral system, the clan relatives are divided into princes and county queens, and they are not allowed to marry the courtiers, they are not allowed to meet the courtiers if they have nothing to do, they are not allowed to enter the palace without an edict, and they are not allowed to leave the fief without instructions!

According to modern parlance, four words, pigsty pigs!

That being said, the Zhu family treats this group of pigs who can only eat, drink and give birth to babies very preferentially, as long as you don't make the above mistakes, you can basically eat pig food for a lifetime, oh no, it is to enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth.

Now that Chongzhen is out of the Northern Expedition, and the crown prince Zhu Cihong is in charge of the country, it is the critical period of the Ming Dynasty, and the courtiers and many clan relatives should be more cautious and abide by the ancestral system.

But some courtiers dared to take advantage of his absence in the palace to do this!

"What do you think is the matter? The minister already knew about this! Liu Hong gradually said amazingly.

He did know for a long time, after all, he was the leader of Jinyiwei, although now Jinyiwei's main business is placed in the outer domain, but the previous old man is there!

Regarding the affairs of the old Zhu family, Liu Hongjian has never been very treated.

Raising so many pigs, how much pig feed do you have to eat, why is your treasury so poor, don't you have any points in your heart?

There is also Zhu Cijiong, the king of Nading, a fourteen-year-old little child, whose eyes are cloudy like a retarded all day long!

Zhu Cihong has long been the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, what can you do as a child with no soldiers, no power and no prestige?

The most speechless thing is that there are really a group of courtiers who are extremely dissatisfied with Chongzhen and even disappointed in the government and politics to make trouble!

Jin Yiwei has the responsibility of supervising the East Detective Factory, plus the director of the East Detective Factory, oh no, it is the factory supervisor Cao Huachun, or is recommended by Liu Hongji.

As the commander of Jinyiwei, whether it is the internal news of Jinyiwei or the external news of the East Investigation Factory, Liu Hongjian is well aware of all kinds of pickled things about Beijing officials in the capital.

As for why they didn't all go to prison, the reason is very simple, few courtiers have clean butts!

The amount of money given by the imperial court to hundreds of officials was outrageously low, and a county official paid seven stones a month, and he had to feed a large number of subordinates such as masters and officials who had no grade and establishment.

Who hasn't clicked on the means to get the money?

Because he has been busy fighting the war, Liu Hongjian has no time to deal with these courtiers who can still do some practical things.

"Liu Qing already knew? Why don't you tell me? Chongzhen was stunned, the clan relatives befriended the courtiers, and in Chongzhen's mind, it was not much smaller than resisting foreign enemies.

This is the ancestral system passed down from generation to generation of the old Zhu family, and the clan relatives make friends with the ministers, what is the picture?

They don't lack money, they don't lack women, they don't lack status, the only thing they lack is power!

Although the prince has a very high status, he has no real power, and if he wants to get real power, he has to find a way to get on the throne.

Dingwang Zhu Cijiong was still young, and Chongzhen thought that this matter was all the bewitchment and instigation of those courtiers, plus the temperament of the crown prince Zhu Cihong......

After Chongzhen categorically did not allow himself to die, the Ming Dynasty once again staged the incident of King Ning rebelling against the court a hundred years ago.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's just a child's trick, if these little things have to be told to you, then you won't be busy all day long." Liu Hongjian still felt that Chongzhen was making a big fuss.

"Liu Qing is confused, I am here, they will not dare to act rashly, if I die, there will be chaos in the palace, and this matter must not be ignored!" Chongzhen did not reprimand, but whispered to Liu Hong to explain the benefits and disadvantages.

Although Liu Hongjian has unique insights most of the time, in terms of government affairs, it has to be said that compared with Chongzhen, who has been the emperor for 18 years, he is still 108,000 miles behind.

Zhu Cihong has a temperament like Chongzhen, and has always taken Chongzhen as an example, and after 18 years, some courtiers naturally don't want the new emperor to be like this.

He could almost imagine that if he died outside the pass, these courtiers would not only run away to the Dingwang Mansion, but it was estimated that they would also be indispensable in the Beijing camp.

Chongzhen and Liu Hong's gradual success in the Northern Expedition is naturally a tribute to the ages, but that is Chongzhen, not Zhu Cihong!

And you, Liu Hongchuan, even if you are a Daming concubine, do not have the blood of the Zhu family on your body after all.

What are the courtiers best at, Chongzhen is the most vocal, and what these guys are best at is demagogy!

If he was really persuaded by him to have a few generals, plus there was an internal response in the palace, everything would not be known, would this be a trivial matter?

"Uh...... Listen to the emperor. was counted down by Chongzhen, and Liu Hongjian also felt that he was too hasty.

According to the previous idea, the courtiers and nobles are just visiting the door, and they are making a fuss, if these guys are really excessive, they will be directly arrested and beheaded.

It's really a moth for them to make a fuss, and it's enough to suppress it bloodily, isn't it just a sudden rush? Isn't it just copying? I'm the best at this.

But now it seems that things are not so simple, what if people play with you?

For example, the idea of killing Zhu Cihong!

He is not by Zhu Cihong's side, who knows how capable these bird ministers are, he only knows that there are at least two emperors in the Ming Dynasty who died in an unknown way, and they were all overboard!

It's pitiful, you can die if you fall into the water, so the doctor will just go home and eat!

The emperor is still like this, but what about the crown prince?

"In this way, send someone back to the capital to spread the news, and report it to the imperial court that I am critically ill, and I secretly enter the city to protect the prince with Jinyiwei, and Cao Huachun closely monitors the hundred officials, even if it is in this Shen Yang City, there is no need to hide it, go and do it!"

Liang Yang, the commander of Jinyiwei, and Cao Huachun, the superintendent of the Dongji Factory, are well versed in this, and they don't need to be too clear about it, and they will also know the importance of the matter and what Chongzhen wants them to do.

A few days ago, Dongchang Fanzi, who went back and forth, had already passed the news of Chongzhen's health to the imperial court, and now he was critically ill and would not make the courtiers suspicious.

Fortunately, Liu Qing is here, otherwise, this time it would not be a fake critical illness, but a real one!

It's good to test it, there are not many opportunities like this, Chongzhen said secretly in his heart.

After several days of grogginess and coma and illness, Chongzhen felt deeply tired after saying these many words, and waved his hand to signal him to rest.

Liu Hong gradually saluted and left, and was startled as soon as he went out.

Outside the door, Huang He, Cao Wentai, Qi Mingyin, Lu Haibo, Wu Binghao, and several internal guards all had strange expressions.

"What did you just hear?" The corners of Liu Hong's mouth gradually rose slightly, although these are Chongzhen and his henchmen, there are still some things that need to be reminded of them.

"We didn't hear anything." Huang He pulled the male duck's throat and quickly cleared up the relationship.

"I'm the same." Lu Haibo and Wu Binghao hurriedly agreed.

"The lower official's ears are not good, and he can't smell them five steps away." Qi Mingyin explained.

"I'm the same." Lu Haibo and Wu Binghao stared at the bull's eye with a very serious expression.
