Three days later.

At first, refugees appeared in the capital, and in the following days, the number had exceeded 30,000. At this time, Xu Jie began to panic and immediately mobilized the army to drive away the refugees. He could not let the refugees enter the city, even if he had to let the refugees live outside the city, he could not build some sheds for them to live temporarily, and cook some porridge. Unless the reconstruction of Yuxi Palace was stopped.

It’s not that he really can’t do it, but he is worried that once he does this, the refugees in the world will gather towards the capital. By that time, no matter how much food he has, it will not be enough! Therefore, Xu Jie was ruthless and simply sent troops to drive him away.

Subsequently, a rumor spread rapidly among refugees in the capital and outside the capital. In order to rebuild the Yuxi Palace for Emperor Jiajing, Xu Jie did not care about the lives and deaths of refugees.

In Gao Gong's study room.

Gao Gong whispered to Wang Xijue standing opposite him: "Have the rumors spread?"

"Yes!" Wang Xijue nodded and said, "But, sir, this is likely to turn refugees into bandits!"

Gao Gong was silent for a while, and finally sighed, "I don't want to do it either. But short pain is always better than long pain. Although this will cause death to some people. If you don't do this, the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos. At that time, there will be more people who die than now."

Speaking of this, Gao Gong raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Xijue and said, "Only by bringing Xu Jie down can the Ming Dynasty have a chance."

The power of rumors is amazing!

What's more, this is not a rumor, but what the refugees saw with their own eyes. The court did not have the intention of disaster relief, but instead sent troops to drive them away.

So, the refugees exploded!

The refugees became bandits, and they couldn't get in the capital, so they looted some villages around the capital and even attacked a county town.

This is the case around the capital, let alone the prefectures in various places?

When the refugees around the capital became bandits, the refugees in various places lost hope and then became violent.

The refugees turned into bandits.

The Ming Dynasty is in chaos!

"Bang!" Gao Gong slapped the table hard, with a hint of ruthlessness on his face: "Xu Jie, I see how you get through this difficulty this time?"

"Bang!" Xu Jie slapped hard on the table, and a ferocious look appeared on his face: "Gao Gong, this must be Gao Gong's work. He actually spread rumors in secret, causing chaos in the people's livelihood."

"Father!" Xu Luqing said softly: "This may not be Gao Gong's rumors, right? We have not provided disaster relief to refugees, and have sent troops to drive them away..."

"Nonsense!" Xu Jie stared at Xu Luqing with a ferocious look and shouted: "If Gao Gong had not pushed behind him, even if a refugee turned into a bandit, it would not have happened so quickly and so widely."

"Bang!" Emperor Jiajing threw the memorial on the imperial desk, stared at Liu Shouyou and Huang Jin standing in front of him and said, "All this is true?"

"yes!"

Emperor Jiajing closed his eyes, opened his eyes for a while, and said, "In order to rebuild Yuxi Palace, regardless of the lives of the people, I have become a foolish monarch."

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, but he is blinded by Xu Jie." Huang Jin said hurriedly.

"Call Xu Jie for me." Emperor Jiajing roared.

When Xu Jie stood in front of Emperor Jiajing, his heart had recovered from calmness. Emperor Jiajing grabbed the memorials of Huang Jin and Liu Shouyou and smashed them towards Xu Jie.

"You can take a look at it yourself."

After Xu Jie picked up two memorials and read them, he felt a little panic in his heart. He didn't expect that the chaos would be so. He originally thought that only the refugees around the capital had become bandits, but he did not expect that bandits would occur all over the country.

"What do you have to say?" Emperor Jiajing glared at Xu Jie and said coldly.

"Your Majesty! There is something strange about this."

"What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, I have ordered that all prefectures open warehouses and release grain. As long as all prefectures open warehouses and release grain, how could there be so many refugees? And some refugees have flocked to the capital in such a short time?

Even if some refugees came to the capital, the old ministers just drove them away. Even if these refugees were angry and wanted to become bandits, this determination was not easy to make!

Your Majesty, once they become bandits, they will become criminals in the court. They can only be happy for a while and will eventually be wiped out by the court. Therefore, even if they want to become bandits, they will not make a decision so quickly. And they acted very quickly, and they also organized their attacks on the county town.

Let go of these, even if the refugees near the capital become bandits, the news will spread so quickly? Let the prefectures and prefectures in various places know in the shortest time? And the refugees from all over the world have become bandits?"

"What do you mean?" Emperor Jiajing narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although Xu Jie looked frightened, his heart was calm and he said quickly:

"First of all, the old minister has ordered the prefectures to start releasing food as quickly as possible. There are also a large number of refugees in the prefectures, for only two reasons."

“What’s the reason?”

"The first reason is that there is no grain in the granaries of the states and prefectures."

"No food? Where did my food go?"

"I'm greedy!"

"Bang!" Emperor Jiajing's chest was fluttering violently: "I dare to greed for Mo my food. What is the second reason?"

"It was some officials who deliberately delayed the release of food and secretly guided refugees to the capital. Similarly, after the old ministers drove away refugees who rushed to the capital, they secretly promoted and guided them in the shortest time, and it was even possible that they sent people to provoke riots themselves and became bandits. It was them who spread the news that refugees in the capital turned bandits as quickly as possible, and promoted refugees from all over the country to turn bandits. Otherwise, it would be impossible that so many bandits would break out in such a short time."

"Who is it? Who is greedy for my food? Who is secretly pushing refugees to become bandits? Do they want to rebel? Liu Shouyou and Huang Jin, check it out for me, I want to kill their nine clans."

"Yes!" Liu Shouyou and Huang Jin responded immediately.

"Xu Jie, now that bandits are everywhere, how are you going to deal with it?"

Xu Jie said righteously: "Your Majesty, no matter what the reason is, they are already bandits. All the court has to do is to wipe them out."

"Then let's wipe out!" Emperor Jiajing said coldly.

Jinyiwei.

Luo Xin and Liu Shouyou sat opposite each other. Liu Shouyou told Luo Xin about the incident and laughed sarcastically:

"Hahaha... Gao Gong is really a fool, and he went to Xu's mansion to visit Xu Jie in person with four gifts. But what happened? Xu Jie stabbed him without hesitation in front of His Majesty today."

"yes!"

Luo Xin was also dissatisfied with Gao Gong's visit to Xu Jie in this situation. He wanted to persuade Xu Jie.

This is a teenager who needs to be cured!
