If the crown prince in front of him said everything was true, then the current situation was really as he said, and the Ming Dynasty was already in danger.

Now Zhu Shangwu can understand what kind of virtue the ministers in the court have.

I will report good news and not bad news to myself all day long, and I will not let myself know the real situation in the outside world at all.

The eunuchs around me thought they didn't dare to tell the truth to themselves because they were afraid of offending these people.

If I had been so confused, I might not know what was happening outside until I died.

Just like this time in Liaodong.

The reason they told themselves was that the matter in Liaodong was too big and they dared not hide it. In addition, the Jurchen army besieged the city, so they could not hide it at all. Then they told themselves.

If Liaodong resisted the Jurchen army and had no trouble making any money, the cabinet and court officials would not suppress this matter and not let them know.

In fact, Zhu Shangwu is not stupid at all, but he just doesn't want to think about it.

And his mind was not on this aspect, but on the erotic paintings he liked.

If his energy and mind were used on the right path, then the court officials and the elders would not bully him like this.

Of course, if Zhu Shangwu showed great intelligence, he might not be his.

Another Ming Dynasty in time and space, among the strangely dead emperors, was there no shadow of ministers behind this?

No one believes this when it comes to it.

But if you think about conspiracy theory, it is hard to say.

And the reign of an emperor who is not very smart and easy to fool is something that is good for everyone.

This is why Zhu Shangwu became emperor very smoothly.

"There is He Renlong in Shaanxi, so I think there should be no big problem."

When Zhao Hongyu mentioned Shaanxi, Zhu Shangwu suddenly remembered someone in his mind.

This person's name was once for a period of time, and he would always hear the ministers mention it during the morning court.

Therefore, Zhu Shangwu has a clear memory of He Renlong.

"He Renlong?"

Zhao Hongyu curled his lips, looking disdainful on his face.

"What, there is a problem?"

When Zhu Shangwu saw Zhao Hongyu's reaction, he immediately knew that he had something to say.

"I have heard of this person, and it seems to be quite famous. Since I came to the capital, I have heard people often talk about this person in the teahouse."

Zhao Hongyu responded with a smile.

Yes, during the period when Zhao Hongyu lived in the capital, he often wandered outside in the early days, such as teahouses and storytelling places that he often went to.

This place has the most people coming and going to merchants from all over the country. When sitting in this place, Zhao Hongyu can get a lot of useful information from their chats.

One of them is about He Renlong.

Zhao Hongyu knows something about He Renlong then, but he is not that clear.

What he only knows is that there is such a person in history and he was killed by Sun Chuanting.

But this happened in another time and space history, and in this time and space, it seems that this thing has not yet happened.

However, He Renlong in this time and space is just like another time and space, and is a kind of person who is indiscriminately killing the people in order to pretend to be military merits.

His team was timid when fighting with the bandits, but they were very brave when they went to kill the people.

And like another time and space, He Renlong also withdrew his troops without authorization under the circumstances of the five military orders in front of the formation, resulting in the death of the commander-in-chief Lin at that time.

However, He Renlong took the path of a certain cabinet master in the court and attracted foreign aid, so he was fearless.

And as his strength grew, He Renlong, in Tongguan, Shaanxi, simply took the banner of the He family army, which shows his rampantness.

The cabinet master he surrendered to in the court discounted the memorial of impeachment by local officials in Shaanxi, and concealed many of the incidents of He Renlong's killing innocent people.

He also fooled Zhu Shangwu, saying that He Renlong made contributions in the war and promoted him to the general of Tongguan.

In Shaanxi, Tongguan is an important town, and the generals here have considerable power, almost as good as governors.

This shows how great the benefits He Renlong has gained.

But Zhu Shangwu didn't know about his bad things.

If he knew, He Renlong would not have risen so quickly.

To put it bluntly, this is all the credit of the cabinet master He Renlong defected to.

If it weren't for that old master, how could He Renlong be so quick to get up so quickly?

You know, in the Ming Dynasty, there were people with noble and military talents.

After hearing that the old master was blowing too much, Zhu Shangwu also remembered He Renlong, and his senses were very good.

After all, they can fight very well.

It is said that there is a He Renlong in Shaanxi, and the refugee army has been suppressed.

Zhu Shangwu must have a good impression of such a meritorious minister.

However, it seems that this American prince’s meaning is not the case at all.

"Oh, what kind of person is He Renlong?"

Zhu Shangwu asked curiously.

"What kind of person does Your Highness think that General Long He is?"

Without answering Zhu Shangwu directly, Zhao Hongyu asked back.

Zhu Shangwu replied: "Master, he suppressed the chaos in Shaanxi. Otherwise, Shaanxi would not be stable at all. When the Jurchen army besieged the city, some chaos might occur. If Shaanxi is unstable, Henan will not be stable. If Henan is unstable, it will be dangerous to the capital."

Zhu Shangwu thought that Shaanxi was stable at this time.

In fact, he didn't know at all that Shaanxi is now in ruins, and refugee and rebel soldiers are everywhere, and the Shaanxi official army can't suppress them at all.

He Renlong was in Tongguan, and the refugees and rebels did not go to his territory at all. He Renlong was happy.

It can be said that He Renlong is now raising enemies, but Zhu Shangwu doesn’t know about this.

But the cabinet masters and court officials were indeed very clear about this, but they didn't tell Zhu Shangwu.

Moreover, there is also this chain of interests here, so everyone will not say it out loud.

You should know that refugee and rebels are everywhere in Shaanxi, and the entire Shaanxi area has been full of war. The threat has even spread to Henan. In order to eliminate refugee and rebels, the money from the Ministry of Revenue is used in this regard.

One million taels of silver, of which 600,000 taels can be embezzled by officials at all levels, and the remaining 400,000 taels of silver may not be used to eliminate bandits.

Everyone made a lot of money in this regard, so they turned a blind eye to He Renlong's approach.

At the same time, He Renlong could not always hide and fail to leave Tongguan.

Therefore, in order to get a job, he sent troops to rob the civilians in Shaanxi, and at the same time he had their heads to treat them as his military achievements.

The officers and soldiers under He Renlong's command were even more fierce than those refugees and bandits in doing such a thing.

Therefore, Shaanxi is almost empty in nine out of ten rooms.

Zhao Hongyu has heard a lot of news like this.

Because inside and outside the capital, there are many refugees from Shaanxi.

This is because they can't stay in Shaanxi anymore, so they came to the capital.

Although Henan can stay there, in order to prevent them from contacting the bandits and rebels, Henan officials drove them to the capital.

In the whole of Shaanxi and even Henan, soldiers are thieves, and thieves are soldiers. You can’t tell who is better and who is worse.

The initiator of all this was He Renlong, the famous general of Tongguan.

"According to His Majesty's wishes, this Heren General Long He is a capable person." Zhao Hongyu looked at Zhu Shangwu with a strange expression.

Zhu Shangwu was stared at by Zhao Hongyu's expression and felt a little nervous.

"What, isn't it? That's what the courtiers said to me."

Um!

Now the two of them speak normally, and they are no longer the name of brothers and brothers in the market.

The eunuchs around them were finally feeling a little more comfortable now. Listening to the two of them, they really felt extremely awkward to be honest.

"There are merchants from Shaanxi in the market. In their mouths, General Long He, the He man, was a cruel man. It is said that he robbed the people and cut off the heads of the people to receive rewards as bandits. Officials in Shaanxi were frightened when they saw him, and he was even the Supreme Emperor of Shaanxi..."

Bang!

Zhu Shangwu threw the teacup beside him to the ground, his face twisted with anger.

"This is true!"

Zhu Shangwu could not believe all this because he believed what the courtiers said so much.

"Of course it's true. There are many refugees from Shaanxi in the capital. Your Majesty just ask someone to ask."
