People in Zongwu: Starting with the Yin Gui Sect

Chapter 330

"It's not Jian'er, what's going on?"

At this time, Concubine Liu also saw that her own Jian'er seemed to know these two women.

"I will explain to Concubine later!"

After casually responding, Wu Yu walked to the unknown girl, and had a vague guess in his heart.

"What's your name?"

"Commoner Zhou Wan, meet your majesty!"

Zhou Wan!

As expected, when he heard the other party's name, Wu Yu knew that he was not wrong. The woman in front of him was his legitimate wife in history, the virtuous woman who was willing to share the joys and sorrows with him, Queen Zhou.

Nodding, Wu Yu took Concubine Liu to the side and told the identity of Yao Yue Lianxing.

Of course, he did not say that someone had replaced him and pretended to be Prince Xin before, so as not to scare Concubine Liu unnecessarily, not to mention that the initiator of that incident, the immortal god, had been killed by him, so Wu Yu could only change his words and say that they were two people he met by chance when he was out of the capital for his brother.

"Ah, what should we do then?"

Liu Taifei didn't expect that the girls she thought were fifteen or sixteen years old turned out to be two leftover women in their thirties, but it was not her fault, because the two women looked too young.

"Well, since they are here, let them stay!"

Wu Yu didn't want to embarrass Liu Taifei, and Yao Yue and Lian Xing also wanted to become his concubines, so he naturally wouldn't deliberately drive them away.

It's useless to not want a wife who came for free. He is not Liu Xiahui, who can face two beautiful women without being moved.

"Okay, then I thank Jian Ge'er!"

Knowing that she had done a bad thing with good intentions, Liu Taifei, who was too embarrassed to stay any longer, simply turned around and left.

Liu Taifei left, so the next question was who would be the queen and who would be the imperial concubine among the three of Yao Yue that Wu Yu would appoint.

In his heart, he naturally intended to make Zhou Wan his queen. After all, history has proved that she does have the ability to rule the harem and rule the world.

But now there is an overbearing Yao Yue. If he lets her be the queen, he may not be able to control her. He does not want his harem to be in chaos in the future.

In addition, Wu Yu has not forgotten that Zhou Kui, the father of Queen Zhou in history, was not a good person. Not only did he do a lot of illegal and immoral things to accept bribes, but he also tricked his son out of the Forbidden City and presented him to Brother Li after he entered Beijing.

Imagine if Zhou Wan really became the queen, and her father Zhou Kui broke the law in the future, would he arrest him or not?

"Forget it, since they can't make up their minds, let them choose for themselves!"

Zhou Wan didn't know that because of her old father, she missed the position of queen for nothing. If she knew, she would cry to death.

As for Wu Yu, after making a decision, he came directly to the three women to tell them his purpose, and also told them some things to do as the queen.

Let them know that if they want to become the mother of a country, they should first consider whether they can handle this position. If they cannot handle it and are abolished in the future, then don't blame me for not giving them a chance in advance.

As expected, when Wu Yu said this, the three women fell silent for a while.

Lian Xing need not say much, she will naturally not climb over her sister's head, and Zhou Wan has her own ideas.

Although she also wanted to be the queen, she could see from the attitude of the emperor just now towards the other two that the relationship between the two parties was not simple, and coupled with the inferiority complex of being an ordinary peasant girl, she had to choose to withdraw.

Seeing that the other two were willing to withdraw, Wu Yu knew the final answer, so he turned to Wang Chengen and said: "Da Ban, draft the decree, Yao Yue is my Daming Queen!"

After deciding the position of the queen, Wu Yu did not stay for long. After returning to the Qianqing Palace, he ordered people to send Wang Yuyan and Wan Wan, who had been guarding the Hua Family Restaurant, into the palace. In addition to Yao Yue as the queen, the rest were all conferred concubines.

Among them, Zhou Wan was the Shufei, Lianxing was the Zhuangfei, Wang Yuyan was the Jingfei, and Kankan was the Huifei, and there was no distinction between them.

As for the position of the imperial concubine, he was not in a hurry to confer it, after all, he had to leave some thoughts for them.

On the first day of September in the seventh year of Tianqi, the news that the emperor married and conferred the commoner Yaoyue as the queen and four other concubines was spread throughout the world in the form of an imperial edict.

And not only the imperial edict, but also the "Da Ming Di Bao" also wrote a feature on this matter, including the origins of the queen Yaoyue and several other concubines were listed one by one.

In addition, taking advantage of this wedding, Wu Yu also issued an edict and issued a general amnesty, which won the hearts of the people.

…………

Da Ming Di BaoA few days after the wedding, Wei Zhongxian and Xu Xianchun, who were sent to Shanxi to arrest the eight major Shanxi merchants, finally returned to the capital after three months.

"I am Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and I am Wei Zhongxian, the governor of the Dongchang. I meet the emperor!"

"Tell me, how much silver was seized in the joint operation of the Dongchang and Jinyiwei this time!"

For Wu Yu, who is now extremely short of money, how much money was seized from these eight big borers is what he cares about most.

Wei Zhongxian was the first to answer: "Your Majesty, this time, the total amount of silver seized from these eight families is more than 12 million taels, in addition to countless antiques and calligraphy and paintings, and all the shops and fields have been assigned to the imperial farm."

"Only 12 million taels?"

Wu Yu was stunned when he heard this number. He didn't expect that as the biggest traitor in the late Ming Dynasty, he only seized so little money.

But he understood after thinking about it carefully. After all, it was only the seventh year of Tianqi, which was far from the later period of Chongzhen. So it was understandable that only 12 million taels were seized.

"What about the Jinyiwei!"

Knowing the wealth of the eight big termites, Wu Yu looked at Xu Xianchun.

"Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei is certainly not as good as the East Factory. They only seized 3 million taels."

Wu Yu nodded. He was not surprised. Even the eight big termites only seized about 12 million taels, not to mention the local officials and garrisons.

"Then have the eight Shanxi merchants headed by the Fan family and the local officials and garrisons involved been arrested?"

Since the most concerned aspect of money has been understood, the next step is the arrest of personnel.

This time it was Xu Xianchun's turn to speak first: "Master, we caught them all, not one escaped!"

Wei Zhongxian on the side also nodded and said: "Master, it's the same for me, because we caught them off guard this time, so we didn't encounter any decent resistance at all, and we captured all of them."
