(0672) Actually, Xu Xingxia just wanted to meet Concubine Zheng Guifei to see what kind of woman this master of the harem of Emperor Wanli was. Is she a smart person, or a village woman and a silly aunt in the outside world? She does have a little more secrets. This time, the Fuwang Party came out halfway, decisively plotted against and usurped the throne, and succeeded in one fell swoop. This really made Xu Xingxia feel curious. This behind-the-scenes messenger does have some ability.

Soon, Xu Xingxia saw Concubine Zheng. Concubine Zheng's appearance is actually not very beautiful. The wrinkles on her face are already very obvious. No matter what kind of woman she is, she won't be beautiful when she gets older. Besides, the ups and downs during this period of time, it is estimated that with the wisdom of Concubine Zheng, she is tired enough. The only thing that is desirable is her smile, which does look sweet. It is estimated that Emperor Wanli must like this.

However, it is precisely this that makes Xu Xingxia once again convinced that she must be a woman who is not simple. If she just relies on her appearance to be petted, she already belongs to the old Zhuhuang family, and it is impossible to arouse the interest of men. Even if Emperor Wanli was not lustful at all, it was impossible for him to be so fond of her. A man's inferior roots cannot be eliminated.

Concubine Zheng saluted and greeted respectfully: "Elder Commissioner." ”

Xu Xingxia nodded, took the lead in sitting down, pointed to the chair next to him, and said in a friendly manner: "Imperial Concubine Niangniang, please take a seat." Speaking of which, you are the master of the Forbidden City. ”

Concubine Zheng Guifei smiled slightly and said, "Now, the Forbidden City belongs to the committee member. ”

Xu Xingxia laughed and said bluntly: "You are a smart woman. There is no need to say these boring words. I can tell you for sure that I will not live in this Forbidden City. The Forbidden City will be open to all citizens free of charge. In the future, this Forbidden City will not have the slightest mystery. ”

Concubine Zheng said eloquently: "You are a powerful man. What you did was indeed unexpected by the concubine. But no matter how powerful a man is, he likes women to praise him for being awesome. Presumably, Princess Xianhu often praises the chairman like this, right? ”

Xu Xingxia tilted his head, nodded thoughtfully, and then said slowly: "I'm curious, how did you make Emperor Wanli so desperate for you?" ”

Concubine Zheng smiled and said, "If Zhu Yilan asked the concubine, maybe the concubine would tell her." But you don't need to know the answer. ”

Xu Xingxia smiled, didn't ask any more, and said heartily: "Okay!" ”

Concubine Zheng Guifei smiled slightly, and said lightly: "The concubine is already a willow posture, and if she doesn't enter the eyes of the chairman, she won't delay the chairman's time." If the chairman has any needs, he can talk to the concubine. In this Forbidden City, there is nothing else, but there are many young and beautiful girls. Presumably, they are also happy to wait for the chairman. ”

Xu Xingxia shook his head and said, "Thank you for your concern." However, I don't need to. I came to you today to tell you that after you arrive at the book, live with peace of mind and don't think too much. I don't like people being too smart. ”

Concubine Zheng said slowly: "No matter how smart the concubine is, in the hands of the chairman, she can't play it!" On an isolated island, hanging alone overseas, why should the chairman of the committee be so worried? It is already a luxury for a little woman to be able to live the second half of her life safely. ”

Xu Xingxia suddenly changed the topic and said, "How much do you know about Su Xiaoxiao?" ”

Zheng Guifei said unhurriedly: "She is one of the several big stalls in Dongchang, and she has won the trust of Lu Shou. However, she personally did not want to be subservient to Lu Shou. She was hell-bent on breaking free from Lu Shou's grasp. As a result, she and the Qingwangfu reached certain secret agreements. However, the specific content of the agreement, the little woman is not very clear. ”

"This time the East Factory was dissolved, and her whereabouts are unknown. The little woman didn't know much about her. However, the little woman can be sure that she is a woman who is not willing to be lonely. Presumably, the chairman guessed who was the mastermind of the assassination on Chinese New Year's Eve, right? If my guess is correct, she should still be in the area of Xi'an City. ”

Xu Xingxia said slowly: "Since you are clear, let's go!" ”

Concubine Zheng stood up, her face was unwavering, and she said politely: "Since this is the case, the surviving person will leave." After many years, I am afraid that the little girl will not have a chance to return to the Central Plains in the future. If the chairman of the committee occasionally passes by the book, please stay here for a while, so that the little woman can enjoy the friendship of the landlord. ”

With that, he turned around and went silently.

Xu Xingxia silently looked at Concubine Zheng's back and nodded very gossipy.

Until this time, Zheng Guifei still did not reveal her secret. All his inquiries were easily blocked by her. If she is a stupid woman, then there are no smart women in this world. Perhaps, her ingenuity should be better displayed in this book.

…… Coming out of the Forbidden City, Xu Xingxia came to the Wenhua Palace. In the Forbidden City, the Wenhua Hall and the Wuying Hall are far away. Outside of the Imperial Palace, these are two very important palaces. The Wenhua Hall is the location where the imperial examination hall is held, and the Wuying Hall is the location of the martial arts examination. Whether it is a civil official or a military attaché, they will definitely be familiar with these two palaces. Because, here it is said that they entered the ladder of the imperial court. At the same time, the Wenhua Hall is also the venue for the ceremonial ceremony. At some point, the emperor would also be here to deal with political affairs.

At this time, the Wenhua Hall was also heavily guarded, the atmosphere was serious, and a large number of chaser guards were erected around. A squadron leader of a chaser who was checking back and forth. The bayonet on the muzzle of the moon gun reflected a white cold light in the sunlight. Every slight shake of the muzzle of the gun drove the bayonet to shake, and the cold light reflected would constantly sway on the opposite palace wall, as if someone was walking on the wall.

The magnates in the capital have all been gathered and collectively imprisoned in the Wenhua Palace. Their wealth was confiscated by the white-clothed army. Now, the main thing about bringing these people together is to re-educate. And the host of re-education is Xu Xingxia himself. Not only did he want to confiscate the wealth of such people, but he also wanted to reform the minds of these people as much as possible.

Xu Xingxia is not as rough as Li Zicheng and not as direct as Li Zicheng, but the effect is better than Li Zicheng. His solution was very simple, that is, he was hungry, locked people up, and they were not given food. Only water is given every day, and no food is given. No torture, no interrogation, no execution, just silently time-saving. When they are so hungry that they can't stand it and can't wait to eat their own flesh, they are naturally willing to hand over all their wealth.

It was by this means that the white-clothed army easily concentrated all the wealth in the capital. According to incomplete statistics, the gold and silver wealth that has been concentrated so far alone is worth more than 50 million taels of silver. As for other jewelry, antiques, treasures, and the like, it is estimated that there are tens of millions of taels of silver. It can be seen that the heritage of the lords and magnates of the capital is still very deep. Xu Xingxia made a bold move, and he definitely did the right thing.

Of course, behind the scenes, Xu Xingxia didn't know how much infamy he had on his back. Now, in a place where the white-clothed army can't see, I don't know how many people can't wait to eat Xu Xingxia's flesh and drink Xu Xingxia's blood. According to Xuan Yingwei's intelligence, the number of people who want to assassinate Xu Xingxia has increased at least hundreds of times. It's no wonder that the chassars are so nervous.

However, Xu Xingxia is not very worried about his safety. He is very sure of his archery skills. As long as his subordinates did not rebel, his safety would not be threatened at all. Will his men rebel? Xu Xingxia is certainly confident. If he can't even take care of his subordinates, he, the chairman of the committee, can hit his head against the wall and die.

"Report to the chairman, the people on the list have all arrived, and no one is absent." Zhang Tianhao came to Xu Xingxia and said in a low voice. Turning the dignified Wenhua Hall into a concentration camp, turning it into a de facto prison, and imprisoning the lords and magnates in the capital, it is estimated that only Xu Xingxia can do it in the world.

Fortunately, Zhang Tianhao has followed Xu Xingxia for so long, and he is completely accustomed to his whimsical and whimsical. What Xu Xingxia asked him to do, he did it to the letter. Whether these guys on the list, want to come or not, they must come. If they didn't come, the white-clothed cavalry would go straight to the door and tie them up.

Xu Xingxia nodded and strode into the Wenhua Palace.

The lords and magnates of the entire capital, as well as the original important ministers of the Northern Ming Dynasty, were all concentrated in the Wenhua Palace. At a glance, the black pressure is all heads, and it is estimated that there are at least hundreds of people. In fact, the exact number is nine hundred and fifty-six. Zhang Tianhao has already counted carefully. Among them, Cui Chengxiu, an old acquaintance of the white-clothed army, was also in the crowd.

Seeing Xu Xingxia suddenly appear, the crowd in the Wenhua Hall suddenly quieted down. No matter what posture they had before, at this moment, they had to straighten up and face Xu Xingxia. Old Devil Xu's name is not a joke. There is no need for anyone to feel uncomfortable with themselves at this time. Their eyes all fell on Xu Xingxia's body. No one knows what Xu Xingxia is going to do when he suddenly arrives. Hopefully it's not a bad thing.

Xu Xingxia was on the innermost steps of the Wenhua Palace, straightening his body, his face was solemn, his majestic eyes swept everyone, and suddenly said with a smile: "I know, you all hate me very much." I can feel it in your eyes. You want to eat my flesh and drink my blood. I guess there are still people who want to pull my tendons and pick my skin. Hehe, it doesn't matter, actually, I didn't take you to heart at all. ”
