Zhu Xu was very happy and satisfied with this meal.

The people outside were also very aware and did not disturb him at this time.

It took me more than an hour to eat this meal. It was not until dark that Zhu Xu accompanied Li Jieyu back to Yuzao Palace, chatting while walking.

"Although the emperor's sister-in-law is not very old, she will not be in good health in winter. You should pay attention to it all the time."

Zhu Xu walked in front, feeling the warmth of the dinner party had not yet dissipated, and said, "You have to take on the things in the palace, and you can't always let the emperor's sister-in-law fuck our hearts..."

Li Jieyu followed Zhu Xu, responded softly, and said, "Yes."

According to the rules, Zhu Xu's central palace queen needs to be responsible for the affairs in the palace, but the queen has not yet established her, so naturally Empress Dowager Zhang, who has been in charge, is dealing with it.

Zhu Xu walked slowly and said, "Well, as long as you know it, I don't have many women. Even if I get married next year, the palace will not exceed one-handed number. Please watch more for me. The outer court is uneasy, and the inner court must be harmonious..."

"Yes." Li Jieyu is now full of happiness, and she agreed without considering Zhu Xu's words.

"Zhang Yun, have you seen him?" Zhu Xu suddenly said. The old concubine chose three people for Zhu Xu, and the most optimistic one was Zhang Yun.

Li Jieyu looked at Zhu Xu and whispered: "I have seen it twice. Miss Zhang is the distant cousin of the British Duke. She is well-educated, elegant and beautiful. She likes the old concubine and the queen mother very much. She wants to ask the emperor to make her queen."

Zhu Xu also investigated Zhang Yun, and his character is very good. He is just an emperor and queen for a lifetime. He has to live without any understanding. It is really not Zhu Xu's style.

Li Jieyu knew Zhu Xu a little, and said softly, "Your Majesty, do you want me to find an opportunity to invite her into the palace..."

Zhu Xu waved his hand quickly and said, "No, the little girl has already made a turmoil in the city, and it is so turbulent that she can't do this anymore. You, take the time to chat with the emperor's sister-in-law and the old concubine, and say that three women cannot pour into my palace at once, come one by one, stand up first and then talk..."

Li Jieyu was slightly stunned, looked at Zhu Xu's side face and nodded hesitantly.

As soon as he walked to Yuzao Palace, Liu Shimin came and whispered, "Your Majesty, the people who have been investigating Huitong Trading Company have moved."

Zhu Xu paused and said with a slightly cold expression, "Did you find out who is behind me?"

This Huitong Trading Company was the foundation for his founding and has always maintained the operation of the imperial court. Although it is not available now, it is also his industry. Everyone knows that who dares to be so bold!

Liu Shimin said: "The Jinyiwei has been following him secretly, locking in many people, one of whom is the Minister of Revenue, who may be an abandoned son."

Zhu Xu stood at the door of Yuzao Palace, with his hands behind his back, looking at the dark moonlight, and his index finger behind him tapped the back of his hand.

When Huitong Trading Bank was first established, multiple departments participated, mainly to prevent corruption and monitor each other. As time goes by, it will inevitably be infiltrated or internally corrupted.

This kind of thing is inevitable, and we can only continue to increase the anti-corruption efforts to minimize the threat.

However, the matter is in the Ministry of Revenue, which is worthy of fun.

Zhu Xu tapped his fingers faster, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, and suddenly said, "You said, is the uncle the first choice for the candidate to join the cabinet?"

Liu Shimin bowed slightly, without opening his mouth.

If the emperor wants to add auxiliary ministers in the cabinet, the first person to be promoted from the six ministries is to be promoted. This is also a convention. As the emperor's uncle, Fu Changzong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was naturally the first person to be affected and was the first person to be chosen.

Now someone wants to catch Fu Changzong's braid, so he naturally wants to pull him off.

However, there were six people who added this time, why did they come directly at Fu Changzong? This was just a slap in the face of the emperor. Who has such courage now?

Zhu Xu turned his head and looked at Liu Shimin, laughed, and said, "Let the Jinyiwei not check it anymore, notify the cabinet's left and right assistants, and go to the royal money house with me tomorrow. By the way, my uncle will come together."

Liu Shimin looked up at Zhu Xu and said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu looked at the moonlight that seemed to be covered with a few layers of gauze again, and waved his hand and said, "Okay, go, it's all a small trick to get tired of playing, let them make trouble."

"Yes, I will leave." Liu Shimin said.

Zhu Xu ignored it, waved his hand, and entered Yuzao Palace.

Li Jieyu was settling two little guys. At this time, the little guys were most energetic, with big eyes open, bright and bright, and no sleepiness at all.

Zhu Xu had been traveling for several days and took off his clothes while saying, "Leave it to the maid and go to bed early."

Li Jieyu quickly settled the two little guys and handed them over to the maid to take them out.

As soon as they left, the two little guys started crying.

Zhu Xu just lifted the quilt and sighed, "I can't do it anymore, I'll leave it to you, I'll go to bed first."

Li Jieyu was in a hurry, but Zhu Xu didn't care. He was too tired and wanted to have a good sleep.

Zhu Xu fell asleep quickly, but Bi Ziyan had no peace.

Bifu.

Zhang Wenda came to Bi Ziyan's mansion with a few "letters of complaints". After giving all the letters to Bi Ziyan, he remained silent.

Bi Ziyan looked at it and his expression gradually became solemn.

The core of these letters is "Huitong Trading Bank". There are many numbers listed in it, indicating that a large part of the money disappeared inexplicably, and some of them disappeared inexplicably after entering the Ministry of Revenue. In total, it is as high as five million a year!

There is also a general list of Huitong Trading Business’s business, many of which are “not clean” and are contrary to the laws of the court.

In short, these letters are quite detailed and you can tell at a glance that they are not fabricated, but are made by people who have internal or long-term investigations.

Bi Ziyan put down the letter and looked up at Zhang Wenda, his face as deep as water.

The entire Ming Dynasty knew very well what Huitong Trading Company was, and no one didn’t know who the first shopkeeper was!

What is this to do? Who did you go for? Even what the purpose behind it is, you can see through it at a glance!

Just after seeing through it, Bi Ziyan had a calm face and a cold look. He looked at Zhang Wenda without speaking.

Zhang Wenda's expression was not calm, and said solemnly: "This is what Xiaguan just received. He has not found out who gave it to him yet, but once the things inside are leaked..."

This Huitong Trading Company belongs to the emperor. Once it is leaked, it will hit the emperor's face and damage the royal majesty. It will have a great impact on the "New Deal", especially the current political situation, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Bi Ziyan knew the importance of it, so he thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "Find out as soon as possible, who is behind it, and... the rest of the matter, I will do it!"

Zhang Wenda also meant this. At this time, if Fu Changzong suddenly fell, with the emperor's personality, he would be afraid that he would "blood-blast" the cabinet and the six ministries!

Bi Ziyan did not tell Zhang Wendaduo, and told him to find out as soon as possible, and sat in the lobby, looking at his shadow, frowned, and had no movement at all.

This matter is very important. It is obvious that someone wants to cause trouble, and the emperor wants to return to Beijing. He must settle the matter before this to avoid a bigger storm!

But what should be done?

Judging from these letters, Fu Tao, Fu Changzong and his son embezzled tens of millions of silver from it, and they didn't know how much they were. He didn't know how much the emperor knew, but no matter what, as long as it was revealed, it would be inevitable that Fu Changzong would fall.

Fu Changzong was not only the Minister of Revenue, but also the emperor's uncle. He was the most important supporter since the emperor ascended the throne. If he was pulled down, how the emperor would be angry and how he reacted. Bi Ziyan could not have expected these, but he knew very well that this would have unpredictable terrible consequences for the Ming Dynasty and the "New Policy"!

After a while, a maid came over and said softly, "Master, please rest for your wife."

Bi Ziyan's thoughts were interrupted, he took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Tell my wife, I won't come back tonight, let her sleep first."

After saying that, he strode outside and shouted, "Come on, prepare the carriage, I'm going to the Fu Mansion."

"It's the master." The servant outside the door hurriedly went to prepare.

When Bi Ziyan rushed to Fu's mansion overnight, Fu Changzong and his son were also having a chat with candles.

Fu Changzong was cooking tea, and the room was steaming hot, and the father and son sat opposite each other, with a relaxed expression.

Fu Tao said, "Father, the number of memorials that impeach you has increased recently. I am afraid that some people have really had bad intentions."

Although Fu Changzong was low-key, he was the Minister of Revenue and the emperor's uncle. There were people around him, so he could not hide this matter from him.

He took a cup of check, picked it up, shook it in front of his nose, and said, "No matter what they have done, they will never succeed before they understand something."

Fu Tao was stunned and said, "What's the matter?"

Fu Changzong took a sip and put it down, cooked it again, and while moving, he said, "It's not the past now. The court officials can hold the holy will hostage. Today's saints are as smart as Taizu Taizong, so how could they fiddle with it at will. They didn't understand this. No matter how much they had or how powerful they had, it would be futile and would harm themselves."

Fu Tao nodded with some understanding and said, "Father said, they don't understand the emperor's intentions, but only think about themselves?"

Fu Changzong handed Fu Tao a cup of tea and said, "The holy heart is the will of heaven. They don't know the will of heaven. There will be no benefit except annoying the emperor."

Fu Tao understood and said, "What my father said is that the emperor had long planned for the 'new policy' and attached great importance to it. If these people want to destroy the situation, the emperor would definitely be unhappy."

Fu Changzong took a sip of the freshly cooked tea, nodded slightly, and said, "So, as long as the father is not lost, no matter how much they make trouble, they will be futile. Especially since the emperor hates party struggles, they try again and again and again, and do not take the emperor seriously..."

Fu Tao drank tea and said, "Father, then do we do nothing? What if they get some handles, what should they do to coerce the emperor?"

Fu Changzong put down the tea cup, continued to cook tea, pour tea, and said with a calm expression: "From today, don't worry about anything, do whatever you should do, even if the sky falls, don't worry about it, especially about me, don't have one more action, don't say one more word!"
