Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 153
Suddenly, she looked at Li Guorui who was looking for something and asked quickly: "Did he persuade you to change your mind?"

"That's him!" When Li Guorui heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "If it hadn't been for him, I would still be the Marquis now, and I would still have at least half of the family wealth! It was all his fault, and it was all my fault..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from outside, and at the same time a voice said: "Brother Li, how could I harm you! You are not good, I kindly gave you a fire yesterday!" You agree with the idea!"

Li Guorui was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look, but saw a middle-aged man stepping in, who else could it be if it wasn't Linhuai Marquis Li Zushu!
Immediately, Li Guorui pointed at Li Zushu and yelled sharply: "Why didn't you harm me, and you still dare to deny it now? If it wasn't for you, why would I be here!"

"No, no, no!" Li Zushu shook his head immediately after hearing this, and said sincerely, "It was Zhou Kuina's cowardice who caused you harm, so don't blame me."

Li Guorui was stunned after hearing his words.For a moment, I forgot to continue to condemn and fight him.

To be honest, it does seem to make sense.If Zhou Kui hadn't stepped back and stabbed him fiercely in the back, he wouldn't have ended up like this. Maybe, he might not have to pay 20 taels of silver.

After all, when he started selling pots and pans, he saw the excitement at the door and heard the movement, which was beneficial to him.Moreover, the servants of all the nobles are also induced in the crowd, maybe it is really possible.

Thinking of this, the anger towards Li Zushu in his heart was vented. Thinking of what happened now, he sat back on the stool in annoyance, with a sad face full of lovelessness.

"Sister-in-law, can you let Brother Li and I have a few words alone." Li Zushu turned to Mrs. Li Guorui and said, "Maybe the current situation may not be irreversible."

Hearing this, Li Guorui and his wife immediately showed a glimmer of hope in their eyes.Looking at Li Zushu, it was as if he saw a life-saving straw.

Even Li Guorui couldn't wait and said to his wife quickly: "Why don't you hurry up and make a pot of tea... boil some hot water, go quickly, go quickly!"

They've all been scraped clean by Dongchang Fanzi, where will the tea leaves come from to entertain the guests!

Poor, if you want to be poor, you can only boil hot water.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li Guorui quickly got up and went out.It's just that when I was going out, out of curiosity, I wanted to eavesdrop on what could be done to save this situation?
However, Li Zushu seemed to know that she wanted to eavesdrop, so he followed out. He smiled and watched the embarrassed Mrs. Li Guorui go away, and then he closed the door and went in to talk to Li Guorui.

"Brother Li, no matter what, you are the grandson of the Empress Dowager Xiaoding, a relative of the emperor." Li Zushu said in a low voice, "Even if the Tian family is ruthless, you can't do things openly, right?"

Li Guorui nodded after listening.If there is no relative relationship, today's matter may not be settled, so he will be arrested in Dongchang Prison.

But speaking of it, he actually envied Li Zushu's honor even more.

He was awarded a title by relying on relatives, but his foundation and connections were incomparable to Li Zushu, who was awarded a title by military merit.Especially for Li Zushu, his ancestor was not only a founding hero, but also the nephew of Emperor Taizu. This relationship was even more remarkable.

This Li Zushu was the eleventh grandson of Li Wenzhong, the king of Qiyang. In the Ming Dynasty, he was a true nobleman with upright roots and Miaohong.There are countless disciples and former officials, not to mention, just the relationship between the founding heroes can make them and the Ming Dynasty live together with the country.It is said that the Li family still maintains the death-free ticket passed down from their ancestors!
It was also for this reason that when Li Zushu came to the door last night, he was a little surprised, and naturally believed what Li Zushu said.

Seeing Li Guorui nodded, Li Zushu continued, "So, your chance to turn the tables is on the word 'extremely'."

"How do you say that?" Li Guorui couldn't understand, so he asked quickly.

Li Zushu was not in a hurry to answer. He turned his head and looked outside. After finding no one listening to the wall, he said to Li Guorui in a low voice: "You think, what happened today, you must be very sad. You are so poor that you have nothing. When forced to this point, he hanged himself. In this way, if the news spreads, people will say that the emperor was too hard, and why is it that his relatives are like this. Are you right? Besides, we will also use our strength Spreading the news will bring back justice for Brother Li. Think about it, with our ability, is there a chance that this matter will turn around?"

Li Guorui's face turned pale when he heard this, and said: "This...how can this be, I'm already dead, why do you need to seek justice? You...are you playing tricks on me?"

"Brother Li, you are really honest." Li Zushu couldn't help shaking his head and sighed, "You can really commit suicide!"

"Then..." Li Guorui was a little confused by what he said.

Seeing this, Li Zushu scolded a pig in his heart, and then explained in a low voice: "Brother Li hanged himself in the room. I watched from outside the door. As soon as Brother Li hanged himself, I broke in and gave Brother Li the Save me. In this way, brother Li has committed suicide, and I can prove it to brother Li. This matter, it will be done!"

Hearing this, Li Guorui couldn't help but be overjoyed.It would be great if he could save himself from death and restore the current situation.Even if the chance of success in this matter is not high, at least try, what if it can be saved?Or recover a little bit, better than the current situation, that is also good!

Thinking of this, Li Guorui agreed.

The two started to act immediately, but when Li Guorui stood on the stool and his head was about to get into the rope, he said worriedly, "Why don't we just do this, and it will be considered that I have committed suicide?"

"This won't work, do you think the East Factory is just a decoration? If you do it, you have to be more serious, otherwise it might be a crime of deceiving the emperor, which is a serious crime!" Li Zushu immediately vetoed it when he heard it.

Li Guorui seems to make sense when he thinks about it, the crime of deceiving the emperor is not a joke, there is still one hanging at Zhengyang Gate!

Thinking of this, he had no choice but to obey, but at the last moment, he hesitated again, and said to Li Zushu again: "I am heavy, you have to come in quickly and save me, or you will suffer!"

"Brother Li, don't worry!" When Li Zushu heard this, he hurriedly patted his chest and assured, "You don't even look at my family, but they are known for their martial arts. This move is so fast!"

Hearing this, Li Guorui felt relieved a lot, and after giving some instructions, he began to act.

Inside the room, Li Guorui watched Li Zushu standing at the door staring at the movement inside, and after confirming that he could see his movements, he put his neck into the rope sleeve and kicked off the stool.

The chubby weight made him breathless, and he quickly gestured with his eyes, and hurriedly beckoned Li Zushu to come in and save him with his hands.

But who knows, at this time Li Zushu's face showed a mocking sneer.He didn't do anything, just watched Li Guorui struggling to survive.

At this moment, Li Guorui suddenly came to his senses, he wanted to die by himself!
This time, he panicked, but it was useless. After struggling for a while, there was no more struggling, just a corpse floating there.

When Li Zushu saw it outside the house, he sneered. When he heard something seemed to be moving from the courtyard, he quickly avoided it.

There was indeed some movement. Mrs. Li Guorui came over with a pot of hot water.

He coughed at the door, then pushed the door open and said at the same time: "Master, Master Marquis, drink some hot water to drive away the cold!"

Just finished speaking, when I looked up, I suddenly saw my master hanging from the beam, floating there, but without a trace of struggle.

With a "bang", the things in her hands fell to the ground. Mrs. Li Guorui sat down on the ground in fright, and then cried: "Come on, come on..."

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" Li Zushu appeared, pretending to be surprised after seeing the situation, "What's going on, when I went to have a pee just now, I even persuaded Brother Li to open up a little bit, how could he He hanged himself!"

After dawdling for time, when he finally rescued Li Guorui, he was already out of breath.

Seeing this, Li Zushu was filled with righteous indignation and said: "The imperial court actually forced the nobles to hang themselves. It's not a crime of treason. This is too much!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Mrs. Li Guorui, and said to her: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, you must take care of Brother Li's funeral. He is fair, and our other families will definitely stand up and ask for an explanation!"

Mrs. Li Guorui, with a sad face at this time, just lay on Li Guorui's body and cried loudly, her mind was muddled, and when she heard his words, she sobbed and said: "How can you do it with money, master, why did you leave it behind?" My wife, what should we do in the future..."

When Li Zushu heard this, he immediately took out a few banknotes from his bosom, stuffed them into Mrs. Li Guorui's hand, and said at the same time: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, the so-called death of the rabbit and the sorrow of the fox, brother Li's matter, we others will take care of it, and we will definitely help you." Ask for an explanation."

After saying that, he said a few more perfunctory words, and then left, but did not return to his home.

At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen had been busy all day, and finally had time to rest.

He was quite satisfied with this day.The layout had been started before, and the biggest trouble was solved through the queen, and 70 taels of silver were obtained at once. With this silver in hand, we can fight another good battle with the Jianlu in Guan Nei.

In this world, there is actually no one who is not afraid of death, especially those royal relatives.Once they realize that there may be a catastrophe, the compromise will definitely be compromised, because they don't have a hard bone.

In the original history, Emperor Chongzhen's disposal methods were not good enough, so he couldn't do anything.For example, in the case of Zhou Kui, he just sent a eunuch to persuade him and asked Zhou Kui to set an example.The queen even secretly gave him 5000 taels of silver and asked his father to donate it.It's strange that this kind of behavior, which is neither painful nor itchy, and even obviously nice words, can make people feel scared.

To be reasonable, it is even more useless to say that tomorrow will be sad and that the country will probably perish.If these imperial relatives and nobles can be resolved through reasoning, it will not be the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will not perish.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen gave Empress Zhou a very strong impression from the very beginning, and she could do anything for the sake of the Great Ming Society.After coming down a few times, I was deeply impressed by Queen Zhou.Therefore, as soon as Queen Zhou learned about Zhou Kui, she immediately felt her own crisis, as well as her son's.Under such pressure, after hearing about Zhou Kui's affairs, and seeing the emperor's memorial to Zhou Kui's plunder, it was impossible for Empress Zhou to be kind and pleasant to Zhou Kui, and to beg Zhou Kui to obey. up.

This is not to say that Queen Zhou is not virtuous, or that these things have nothing to do with being virtuous or not, it can only be said that the most basic interests determine what actions to take when doing things.

Since ancient times, ruling the world with filial piety has been the foundation of the rule of successive dynasties.Zhou Kui is the empress's biological father, if he is harsh, he will be criticized.Especially some competitors would even say that the queen has a problem with her conduct, which she didn't want to see.The so-called extermination of relatives in righteousness is only a last resort.However, once this kind of reputation conflicts with her most basic interests, there is only one way to choose.Those who can stand firmly in the palace will not be stupid.

The most ruthless emperor's family, from a certain point of view, is indeed the case!
Emperor Chongzhen is quite satisfied with the result of the current disposition, and the public opinion outside does not say how his emperor is.On the contrary, everyone still sympathizes with him, who is the emperor, and it is quite unlucky to have such relatives.Wu Qinghou's relatives are a little far away, it's okay to say, even the father-in-law is like this, it's really touching!

After all, this kind of thing may happen to every household. If you feel the same way, you will definitely side with the emperor.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about the next step in his heart. He should take this opportunity to repair and beat those noble relatives.

Think about it, even the elder brother of the empress dowager can be named a marquis, and it has been passed down all the time. If this kind of thing was thought to be okay before, then start with yourself, and set a clear rule for this.Daming's title is too easy to give away, and those raised are all moths.

Regarding this, Emperor Chongzhen was not very worried, because these noble relatives only relied on the royal family, and they did not have much strength themselves.

However, for another class of nobles, Emperor Chongzhen has no special way to deal with them.These nobles are the descendants of those founding heroes.Their power is far from being comparable to that of their relatives.There are intermarriages among each other, there are many former students and officials, especially the generals in the army, and there are even many nobles who are in charge of military power.

If these nobles can really fight for the country like their ancestors did in the founding of the country, and be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, then that's fine.However, at this time in the late Ming Dynasty, the original Emperor Chongzhen couldn't see these nobles, but the current Emperor Chongzhen knew it well, and most of them were already rotten.At least in later generations, it has never been heard that in the late Ming Dynasty, anyone who could fight came from among these nobles.In the end, quite a few of them opened the door and surrendered, either to Li Zicheng or to the Manchus.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen at this time had no good impression of these nobles at all.

However, these nobles, just some simple crimes can't move them.Like the kind of bullying men and women, it is impossible to deal with them with the views and laws of later generations.They belonged to the privileged class in the Ming Dynasty. Don’t be too normal to do this kind of thing. It’s fine to punish them slightly. The current Emperor Chongzhen couldn't bear it.

The nobles of the Ming Dynasty should seal a batch by themselves, beat a batch, and replace the old with the new!
Thinking of this, he began to look at the messages in the wiretapping system.

　There is something to do at night, the update should be around 10:30.
