Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 777 Zhu Han’s Warning
The Minister of Personnel never imagined that he would fall to this point.

He originally thought that various situations had already occurred, and even if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to blame someone, it could not be blamed on him.

In any case, he was still safe now, but he didn't expect Zhu Biao and Zhu Han to have so many ways to investigate the truth.

Even if they had extraordinary abilities now, they probably wouldn't be able to turn all those situations around in a short period of time.

And from the very beginning, Zhu Han had already told them about their current cooperation with Zhu Di in Yingtian Prefecture.

The business of the silk shop has long been thoroughly investigated.

The Ministry of Personnel felt his scalp tingling when he saw the letter. He followed He Fengyu and hurried into Zuihua Pavilion.

Zhu Han was tasting fine wine in the elegant pavilion. When he saw the Minister of Personnel coming, Zhu Han frowned slightly.

He glanced at the person in front of him.

"I didn't expect that Lord Wang would come so quickly. I'm afraid you've already heard the rumors outside."

The Minister of Personnel didn't have much ability at all and fell to his knees in front of Zhu Han with a plop.

He cried bitterly and said that Zhu Di had always threatened him with money, and now he only wanted Zhu Han to make the decision for him.

"I have always been thinking about the current situation. As long as I can find any clues, I will definitely get justice."

The Minister of Personnel burst into tears, and now he was pouring out his true feelings in front of Zhu Han with tears and snot.

But he also knew in his heart that even if Zhu Han knew all this, he would not just let him stand idly by.

"But the power of King Yan is too strong. This is why I was forced to do those unknown things. Please forgive me, King."

Zhu Han glanced at him with contempt. He really didn't expect that the Minister of Personnel would dare to lie in front of him.

He had conducted extensive investigations from the very beginning. In fact, the officials had already made careful arrangements in their minds regarding the incident caused by Zhu Biao and Zhu Di in Yingtian Prefecture.

If the Jinyiwei had not intervened, these people would not have been able to feel the pain at all.

Now that he knew that his crime would be exposed and would affect his entire clan, he dared to speak so openly in front of Zhu Han.

"Sir Wang, it's no use for you to say these things now. I was able to investigate those clues and I have already seen through your actions. I advise you not to waste your time any more."

The Minister of Personnel knew that he had angered Zhu Han. After all, Zhu Han had made a very accurate judgment in Yingtian Prefecture.

Now officials everywhere are trembling with fear.

They had previously thought that even if something happened to Zhu Han, he would not force them into a desperate situation.

But now I realize that Zhu Han had already found the best way to deal with these things.

Even if something happens at this time, they will be able to turn the tide.

"Your Majesty, I know that I have indeed done something wrong. Your Majesty is now investigating this matter thoroughly. There must be many officials in the court who will be implicated. I hope that Your Majesty can also show mercy and leave us a way out."

Zhu Han frowned slightly. He sat in the chair and took a sip of the wine at hand. He knew the situation in the court better than anyone else.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally would not have such an easy time. These officials had played a significant role in the struggle for the throne between Zhu Di and Zhu Biao.

They formed cliques in private for personal gain, which had already crossed Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line.

Even if they said something else now, it would be meaningless. Zhu Yuanzhang would not give them any chance to destroy it all.

"Lord Wang, now that you are at the end of your rope, you should think about the significance of what you have left behind."

"But Lord Wang has forgotten that your actions have already been known to others. You will not gain any benefit from saying these words in front of me in the end."

The Minister of Personnel kowtowed fiercely, his eyes red as he looked at Zhu Han, begging Zhu Han to leave him a way to live.

"Now that we have come to this critical moment, there is no need to worry about other things. We must have a clear grasp of all of this now, otherwise the outcome will be even more different."

Zhu Han doesn't care about the life or death of these officials. Since they have chosen a different path, they will naturally have to pay a price.

Many things in Yingtian Prefecture have already exceeded expectations.

Zhu Han naturally would not leave them any chance. Zhu Di must pay the price for what he did, and these officials who were implicated deserved it.

"Lord Wang, please go back as soon as possible. The Jinyiwei will investigate this matter, and Lord Wang must cooperate as soon as possible. Only in this way can His Majesty calm down."

The Minister of Personnel knew that he had no way to survive, and watched as Zhu Han was ultimately unable to be taken away by Gao Fei.

After everyone left, Yueru slowly walked out from behind the screen.

"Your Majesty, this gentleman just now seemed to have known that he was not far from death. Now, your Majesty really cannot believe what they say."

Yueru said this and handed Zhu Han a glass of wine. Zhu Han took it and looked at Yueru gloomily.

"The life and death of these people in Yingtian Prefecture has nothing to do with me, as long as they can gain a foothold in Yingtian Prefecture."

"They will definitely suffer in the future, but these people don't take these things seriously at all, which has led to the current situation."

Zhu Han didn't want to get involved in these things in Yingtian Prefecture. The purpose of him and Zhu Biao was nothing more than to stabilize the situation in Yingtian Prefecture.

When the yellow leaves were rampant before, they had to go through a lot of trouble to prevent the people of Yingtian Prefecture from smoking opium.

If the impact on the people continues to grow, even the silk and satin shops will be in danger.

Zhu Han's East China Chamber of Commerce has been resisted time and time again. If this continues, the court's money will be spent more and more.

"Sales in Zuihua Pavilion are indeed good now, but it will take a lot of effort for you to maintain such profits."

Yue Ru listened to Zhu Han's words and nodded repeatedly. He had absolute confidence in his business before.
If he can do business well as soon as possible, it will be a good opportunity for him to gain a foothold in Yingtian Prefecture.

Now that it has come to this, he naturally cannot allow his late night to be affected by anything else.

Yueru has her own plans for doing business.

"Your Highness, there are indeed quite a few students invited to our poetry gathering this time. It is a good time for talented men and beautiful women to meet."

Yueru told Zhu Han all the news she heard in Zuihua Pavilion.

Now many people have set their sights on Zhu Han, and without exception, they all want to ruin Zhu Han's reputation.

Most of the information was leaked by students in the Imperial Examination Hall.

While they were waiting for the poetry reading, they wrote more poems slandering Zhu Han.

As long as these words reached Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, Zhu Han would probably not be able to explain himself even if he had mouths all over his body.

"It's just that there seem to be a lot of rumors about these students in recent days because the prince expelled them from the Imperial Examination Hall." Yueru felt a little worried for some reason, but she didn't expect Zhu Han to look so calm.

He drank a cup of peach wine and smiled leisurely.

"If they want to spread rumors, they need to have the strength to do so. Yingtian Prefecture will not allow such things to continue to happen."

"The Imperial Guards have already started investigating. If they dare to harm me, they will suffer."

After hearing Zhu Han's words, Yueru felt relieved.

At this time, He Fengyu and Gao Fei had also walked into the attic, and Gao Fei brought a lot of news about Zhu Di.

Several officials, in particular, have now begun to worry about their own situation.

Zhu Di was placed under house arrest, which caused quite a stir in Yingtian Prefecture.

Those students who had previously wanted to join him had already made bold statements.

I think if it weren't for Zhu Han, perhaps their lives would be getting better and better.

Zhu Han is the culprit who destroyed all this.

"These students are all talented, but I didn't expect that they would make such a joke after arriving in Yingtian Prefecture. If all those who spread rumors were arrested, I'm afraid that few of them would be able to take the imperial examination next year."

He Fengyu sat opposite Zhu Han and couldn't help complaining while eating chicken legs.

If these students in Yingtian Prefecture had not been provided with good food and accommodation by the Imperial Academy, they would probably have been driven back to their hometowns by now.

But just because Zhu Di gave them a place to live, he didn't expect that more and more rumors would arise.

The remarks made against Zhu Han also became well known to everyone.

If Zhu Di had not indicated this, they really couldn't understand who would do such a thing.

"Master, why do these people act so swayed by the wind? Don't they understand the situation in Yingtian Prefecture?"

He Fengyu became more and more excited as he spoke. He stuffed several chicken legs directly into his mouth and ate them ravenously.

"If this continues, they will definitely be implicated. These students really don't care about their lives."

Without waiting for Zhu Han to speak, Gao Fei calmly began to analyze the situation.

The students deliberately spread rumors just to attract Zhu Han's attention. They all knew that Zhu Di's status in Yingtian Prefecture was not even half as high as Zhu Han's.

Zhu Yuanzhang is now in his prime, and the Ming Dynasty is becoming increasingly stable.

If Zhu Di and Zhu Biao continued to fight for the position of crown prince, Zhu Han would naturally take action.

Some students simply wanted to stage a protest to see who Zhu Yuanzhang would care about.

Without exception, Zhu Han is always the final winner.

"Wang Ye has never taken action, but the person behind him has already begun to stir. This is obviously someone doing it on purpose. I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble this time."

Gao Fei's analysis was very logical. He Fengyu wanted to refute it, but he found that what he said was indeed different.

If they were allowed to compete with each other on this issue, Zhu Di might have lost even more miserably.

Zhu Han slowly took out the folding fan in his hand, looked at Gao Fei, and nodded approvingly.

Unexpectedly, Gao Fei seemed to have grown a lot after returning from Datong Prefecture.

Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang revealed his identity, Gao Fei has become more cautious in everything he does.

"What Gao Fei said is indeed correct. Let Yingtian Prefecture make whatever fuss they want. We will not get involved in this matter. As long as we organize this society well, that will be enough."

"The most important thing now is to get information from Zuihua Pavilion. You must keep a close eye on the actions of these officials in the dark."

Zhu Han said this and slowly stood up. He picked up the wine and took a sip before putting away the folding fan in his hand.

He looked at He Fengyu and Gao Fei at the table in front of him and assigned tasks to them.

"If there is any mistake, inform us immediately. Zhang Fengnian should also ask him to complete the business as soon as possible. He should send 100,000 taels of silver to the national treasury this month."

He Fengyu and Gao Fei paused for a moment. They looked at Zhu Han in disbelief. Even if the store made a lot of money, they probably wouldn't be able to raise enough money in a short time.

He Fengyu seemed to realize something.

He quickly stood up and looked at Zhu Han, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Prince Yan had already transferred that fake account to the Ministry of Revenue. If we conduct an investigation now, I'm afraid that the treasury won't be able to take out that much money. Could it be that Master wants to help him fill this hole?"

Zhu Han didn't say anything, just looked at He Fengyu deeply, and then left.

There are still many things waiting for him to deal with, including the false account left by Zhu Di.

If it is not filled properly, Zhu Yuanzhang will lose face.
The speculation of court officials and the distrust of the people would cause Zhu Biao to lose support, and Zhu Han would never let this happen.

Gao Fei wanted to chase after him, but was suddenly blocked by He Fengyu.

He Fengyu grabbed Gao Fei's arm, feeling unwilling.

"Master, why would you do this? It's really not easy for us to turn our money around. Business has just gotten better, but we have to fill the hole for that ungrateful wolf."

As he spoke, he spat out the chicken bone in his mouth. His eyes were a little red, and he felt even more sorry for Zhang Fengnian.

"Zhang Fengnian is really miserable. If he knew that the money he worked so hard to earn was just going into the national treasury, he would probably feel even worse."

Gao Fei had his own opinion. He patted He Fengyu on the shoulder and sneered.

"You still don't understand the prince's plan. This matter has already exceeded our expectations. If there is any further impact, the king will also be disgraced."

"The prince's support will become less and less. Only by gambling this money can we stop those gossips."

Gao Fei freed his sleeve from He Fengyu's hand, looked at the wrinkle, frowned slightly, and gently smoothed it out with his hand.

"The poetry gathering will become more and more popular. Your Highness is doing this entirely for the Crown Prince."

He Fengyu suddenly realized what was going on. He looked at Gao Fei and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"When did you become so smart? The master did this thing so well that even I didn't understand what he meant, but you were able to analyze it so clearly."

He Fengyu pouted helplessly, feeling unwilling to accept the result.

"No wonder Master values ​​you more and more now."
