Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 1300

'Snapped. '

Just as everyone was shocked by Xu Shan's actions, Zhu Youwei, holding the victory report in her hand, suddenly smashed it directly onto Yan Gao's cheek.

"what……"

When the wooden folding cloth with brocade was slapped onto Yan Gao's cheek, it not only left a bloodstain but also made him scream in pain on the spot.

"Is this what you call the 'root of all evil'?"

"Is this the treacherous minister you speak of?"

"Offending both the Heavenly Realm and the Underworld at the same time would plunge the Ming Dynasty into utter ruin?"

"I will continue on my own way. The Ming Dynasty began with the Taizu Emperor and will perish under the Jingtai Emperor?"

As Zhu Youwei spoke, her sharp gaze swept over all the ministers present.

Xu Shan, with his distinguished military achievements, proved all the scheming individuals present wrong with his strength.

Zhu Youwei, who withstood pressure from all sides and stood by him, also felt extremely proud!

"The Heavenly Realm dispatched three [Heavenly Officials] to assist the Tartars, but they have all been slaughtered by Duke Xu."

"The barbarian tribes and the demon tribes united to summon the [Earth Demon King] to deliver sentient beings to the mortal realm. And what was the result?"

"No remnant soul left!"

"The main force of the Tartars and barbarians was completely slaughtered."

"This honor of the Ming Dynasty today was bestowed upon us by the Duke of Xu, whom you constantly accuse of 'bringing disaster to the country and its people'."

When Zhu Youwei uttered these words with an air of domineering confidence, the entire Golden Palace fell silent.

She abruptly flicked her sleeve, clutching the report of victory, and added, "In the memorial, Duke Xu made this remark."

“From the sixteenth year of the Jingtai reign onwards, the Ming Dynasty’s offensive and defensive strategies changed.”

"The enemy can go there, and so can the Ming army!"

"From this day forward, if I hear of anyone daring to slander the Duke of Xu again..."

"Severely punish them without leniency!"

After he finished speaking, more than a dozen ministers and generals, led by Qinglong, knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise!"

"The Ming army is mighty!"

"Duke Xu, so domineering."

Amidst the deafening slogans, many high-ranking officials and nobles with aristocratic or powerful family backgrounds chose to remain silent.

Given Xu Shan's current influence in the Ming Dynasty.

These conventional methods will not only fail to defeat the opponent, but will also cause them to lose both their money and their reputation.

and so……

The only option left is a more radical one – a change of dynasty!

The morning court session continued.

Yan Gao and Zhang Cheng, however, were rudely dragged out of the Golden Palace by the Imperial Guards.

The Azure Dragon, who had retreated with them, glanced at them and then whispered something to Lin Pingzhi.

After listening, Deputy Chief Steward Lin quickly replied, "Please rest assured, Magistrate Xing."

"Having served Duke Xu for so long, I have inherited some of the essence of his interrogation techniques."

"I guarantee they will tell you everything they know!"

When he said this, Lin Pingzhi did not hide it from Zhang Cheng and Yan Gao, who were standing beside him.

Hearing his murderous tone, many censors and officials who had been cursing him as a "castrated dog" in front of the palace gates were terrified and ran away in a panic.

Even Zhang Cheng had lost his previous arrogance.

After Qinglong left without asking any questions, the former Vice Minister Zhang, now the suspect Zhang, growled, "You eunuchs, as long as His Majesty does not remove me from my post, you cannot torture us."

"That's right! The law does not apply to officials and scholars."

The censors and officials standing nearby quickly echoed this sentiment.

"Hehehe!"

Upon hearing their remarks, Lin Pingzhi suddenly let out a grating, sinister laugh.

"oops!"

"Seeing the fear in your eyes makes us inexplicably excited."

"Especially you...Minister Zhang!"

'Pfft. '

"what……"

"Shut him up."

‘Crack. ’

Lin Pingzhi, who snapped the opponent's ribs with a single hand, immediately gave the order as the opponent screamed.

The guards who were detaining him instantly dislocated his jaw.

"Do you remember what we said in front of the palace gate?"

"For you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once it falls into the hands of our Eastern Depot..."

"Our family will bite anyone they can catch!"

After saying this, Lin Pingzhi waved his hand, and several guards immediately escorted them into the Eastern Depot's dungeon!

Every "castrated dog" and every curse they uttered before will now be transformed into excruciating pain.

At this moment, all the censors and officials, including Yan Gao and Zhang Cheng, deeply regretted their previous careless remarks.

After the morning court session ended, Zhu Youwei temporarily set aside all other matters. Instead, she summoned the secret agents sent back by Xu Shan to the imperial study.

When they arrived, the Celestial Master had been waiting there for a long time!

"The confiscated property of the eight major families and the Cui family of Qinghe has been transported to the capital in batches."

"The Duke of Xu specifically instructed that if the Ministry of Revenue cannot fully control the assets, this sum of money, which could ensure the safety of the Ming Dynasty's treasury for ten years, should first be deposited into His Majesty's private treasury."

Upon receiving the list from the secret agent, even the well-informed Yuan Tiangang was shocked.

You have to understand, these amounts are staggering.

"I have assembled a new army and raised hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but each of them claims to be short of money."

"But in reality? Even without assets, silver and gold alone could keep the Ming Dynasty's treasury secure for ten years."

"These powerful families and clans deserve to die."

As Zhu Youwei spoke these words with a cold face, the secret agents below handed over the 'Nationalization Reform' implementation plan personally written by Xu Shan.

The above details how to reform important resources such as salt and minerals into state-owned enterprises.

While Jinzhou is recovering from the devastation, we can certainly start a pilot program.

"The lifeline of the Ming Dynasty must be in the hands of the royal family."

"good very good!"

Although Yuan Tiangang only skimmed through the text, the many constructive suggestions Xu Shan made had already filled him with hope for the future.

"When you returned to the capital, did Duke Xu turn back from the northern desert?"

The series of good news also put Zhu Youwei in a great mood.

Even now, she still longs for her husband to come back someday.

"Your Majesty, the eight thousand light cavalry that Duke Xu led out to besiege the city and intercept reinforcements have been arranged to return."

"But... Duke Xu, leading several hundred elite troops, is heading towards Yinshan."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youwei's smile froze.

Yinshan?

After she finished speaking in surprise, Yuan Tiangang realized something and immediately widened his eyes, saying, "Xu Shan went to the Yinshan Secret Realm?"

"Yes!"

"Master, Xu Qing went to the Yin Mountain Secret Realm because..."

Before Zhu Youwei could finish speaking, Yuan Tiangang immediately replied, "The Flower of the Underworld is one of the few existing treasures that can suppress the [Soul Curse] within Your Majesty's body."

"In the mortal realm, it only grows in secret realms leading to underground caves."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youwei anxiously pressed on, "Celestial Master, I've heard that the [Yinshan Secret Realm] is not bound by the rules of the mortal realm?"

"Is that right?"

After Zhu Youwei finished speaking, Yuan Tiangang nodded solemnly.

Unbound by the rules of the mortal realm...

In other words, the upper limit for martial artists there is no longer just the Saint Realm!
