Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 189

Seeing that Shanxi merchants said the same thing, Chen Xinjia also nodded and said: "The factory guards are getting stronger and stronger today, and they are no longer what they were in the past few years. For the sake of safety, I also think that your business should be handed over as soon as possible. As long as the factory guards have no real evidence, and I am the Governor of Xuan Da, the Great Ming's frontier official, and there is support from the court, those factory guards will not be able to turn the sky if they leave the capital."

Speaking of this, he frowned and sighed again: "I don't know what those people in the court did. The war has been over for half a month. Why haven't the appointments for Lu Xiangsheng and others been announced yet? It seems that this matter The strength of the fight is not enough, so that the emperor has the energy to toss about other things!"

"Yes, the governor is right!" Wang Dengku immediately echoed after hearing the words, "You can't let the emperor hang on to this matter, you must divert his energy..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly felt something was wrong, as if he had said similar things when he was in the capital a few days ago, and then found that the food problem was even more serious than the bank ticket problem, and it was difficult to deal with.As I said just now, it is impossible for something more serious than the food problem to happen, right?
As he thought about it, he couldn't continue speaking.

However, Chen Xinjia nodded and said: "I will revise a book in a while, and contact the Yang Ge Department to inquire about the situation. If necessary, I will see if I have the opportunity to go to the capital in person to see the emperor's bottom."

"If an adult steps in, I'm sure the big and small things will be resolved." After hearing this, Fan Yongdou hurriedly replied, but he thought of his younger brother in his mind, and now there are so many troublesome things that he can't take care of him.

Chen Xinjia discussed with these Shanxi merchants for a while, and then decided to go to Liaodong to contact the transaction, and at the same time gather all the materials from all over the place to Zhangjiakou as soon as possible.In this way, you can exit at any time.

The various Shanxi merchants estimated that it would take at least half a month to transport all the materials from all over the country to Zhangjiakou.After all, some places cannot be shipped blatantly.To be on the safe side, Chen Xinjia also had to find a way to delay the emperor from sending factory guards to Shanxi, at least not to Zhangjiakou.

Naturally, they didn't know that Chen Xinjia's Grade A wiretapping seed had passed all the content of their discussions to Emperor Chongzhen who was far away in the capital.

After reading the information, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and smiled, hehe, this is the effect he wanted to scare the snake away!It’s good to concentrate in Zhangjiakou, which saves a lot of trouble!

Also, don’t you, Chen Xinjia, want to come to the capital?Okay, you don’t have to think of any excuse to come to the capital, I can give you one right away.

With this thought in mind, an imperial edict came out very quickly. The general content was that the factory guards found out that the grain merchants who were hoarding grain were all Shanxi merchants.It is said that all the food that had been hoarded was shipped to Jin.He asked Chen Xinjia to return to the capital for an audience to discuss cooperation with factory guards and continue to investigate the matter thoroughly.

After sending this decree, Emperor Chongzhen thought about it for a while, and then went to the Yumajian barracks.

The refugees recruited by the three camps have all been brought to the military camp.Needless to say, these refugees are full of deep-seated hatred for Jianlu. When they hear that they have a chance to take revenge, and they enter under the jurisdiction of the Yumajian, they belong to the emperor's army. Then they will be military households for the rest of their lives , One after another rushed to ask to join, which also allowed the three major battalions to have a carefully selected comparison. The quality of the soldiers still made all the general soldiers satisfied.

After Emperor Chongzhen arrived, he first went through a cutscene, looked at these recruits, and let them have a good impression of himself.Then he summoned He Renlong, the commander-in-chief of the Hussar Battalion, alone at the Yumajian Yamen.

"Are any of He Qing's subordinates familiar with the grassland terrain and how to ambush and arrest people?" Emperor Chongzhen asked after he saw the ceremony, "And people must be loyal, do things steadily, and have the ability to adapt on the spot."

Hearing this, He Renlong couldn't help scratching his forehead. The requirements are a bit high. It seems that there are not many people who meet the requirements, especially on the spot. That is to say, the emperor is going to the grassland to catch his tongue, and the danger is also high. Very high!
Seeing his appearance, Emperor Chongzhen was not in a hurry, and just waited for him to think up and speak.

"Your Majesty, I have thought about it for a while, and there may be someone who is more suitable." After He Renlong thought for a while, he loudly said, "His name is Han Leyu. He was originally from a hundred households. During the Battle of Tianjin, it was he who had the brilliant idea." With a single move, I figured out a way to set my clothes ablaze first, and then set fire to the Jianlu Passage. Now, I will serve thousands of households in my hussars battalion!"

There are two options for the merits of Ming soldiers, that is, they can be exchanged for silver rewards, or they can be promoted through meritorious service.Man Gui in the past, and Huang Degong in the Yongwei Battalion all started as soldiers. If they hadn't both exchanged some credit for money, they would have been the general soldiers long ago.

This Han Leyu is also the same, he has only been promoted to one level, from a hundred households to a thousand households, and the rest is exchanged for money, but he did not use it for gambling like other soldiers, but said that he would buy a house in the capital.Someone with inside knowledge said that this guy wanted to marry a wife.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen asked about the situation of this man named Han Leyu, and asked He Renlong to go back, replacing Han Leyu.

I have to say that Han Leyu was very excited to see the emperor alone.

After he saw the ceremony, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said to him: "I heard from He Zongbing that you contributed a lot to the battle of Tianjin!"

Hearing the emperor's praise of his proud achievements in person, Han Leyu couldn't help grinning and became humble.

This Han Leyu's family background is actually good, at least he should be considered as a rich peasant in northern Shaanxi.However, he suffered from bandits and lost his home, so he joined the army to kill bandits.Emperor Chongzhen knew these things from He Renlong.

But at this time, he also gossiped about another matter: "I heard that you traded your military achievements for silver, and are planning to buy a house in the capital to marry a wife?"

Hearing this, Han Leyu couldn't help but grin, and explained to the emperor: "It was a girl I met on the battlefield. She was the girl I met when I burned the bridge..."

It was fate to say this, and it was the emperor who asked him again at this time, so he explained it in detail.If it was someone else, I'm afraid it would be bad to tell the emperor about it.After all, the emperor has a lot of things to do every day, who cares about the gossip of a soldier like you.

However, Han Leyu felt different from others, and always felt that the emperor had a kind of intimacy with them, so he didn't have other people's scruples. Since the emperor asked, let's chat!
Originally, Emperor Chongzhen just wanted to take another look at Han Leyu's situation from the side. After all, it was related to Shanxi merchants, so he had better be careful.Unexpectedly, I actually heard a gossip.It turned out that the girl Han Leyu had a crush on got in touch with Wu Zhong.

Knowing this situation, Emperor Chongzhen was basically sure that there would be no problem with this Han Leyu.Besides, don't you still have eavesdropping seeds?Even if he really has a problem, he can deal with it in time.

Thinking of this, he turned serious, and said to Han Leyu: "I have learned a piece of news that a traitor sent someone from Zhangjiakou to leave the customs and go to Liaodong to contact Jianlu. Are you sure you can arrest this messenger for me?"

"Your Majesty, when will this person leave?" Han Leyu was stunned for a moment and asked immediately, "How many followers did he bring?"

"It is estimated that this afternoon, tomorrow will definitely be the latest." Emperor Chongzhen replied, and then said uncertainly, "It is not sure how many people we will bring."

When Han Leyu heard this, he started to ask other questions. He didn't keep all these in his heart just because the person in front of him was the emperor he respected.

Emperor Chongzhen was also patient about this, and explained everything about the situation, including the fact that the Shanxi merchants were sent, but he didn't say which Shanxi merchants were specifically.Regarding this, Han Leyu was not abnormal at all. After understanding the whole situation, he assured Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the last general will lead his brothers out of the customs to intercept him, and he will definitely be captured."

Emperor Chongzhen was very happy when he heard that he was confident, and immediately gave him a secret decree. Even He Renlong didn't know what he was going to do, so he led his Qianren Qingqi and asked for some things that he had seized before. With the Grade A bugging seeds on his body, he immediately left the capital.

Besides, when Chen Xinjia received the order, he was immediately overjoyed. He didn't expect to find a pillow when he fell asleep.He doesn't need to think of ways and find excuses, and he will have the opportunity to go to the capital.

Therefore, in order to buy time for the Shanxi merchants, without saying a word, before leaving, he told his confidants in various places, especially Zhangjiakou, that they must do a good job of covering for the Shanxi merchants.Afterwards, he hurried on and came to the capital.

For this, Emperor Chongzhen was very grateful.This move to scare the snakes out of the grass really scared the snakes out.If we turn around and arrest people according to Chen Xinjia's instructions, at least these people will not be wronged.

On the capital's side, several days have passed, and the emperor still hasn't shown evidence, so someone wants to make trouble again.For example, Liu Meicai, the censor, began to write letters to impeach the factory guards, which led to other people being impeached.Even Yang Sichang wrote a memorandum, saying that the long delay of the big treason case is not conducive to the stability of people's hearts, and the factory guards should provide evidence as soon as possible to close the case.

In fact, since a large amount of food was stolen and the capital began to implement a limited supply of people, it has basically stabilized, and there is no instability of people's hearts at all.What Yang Sichang refers to is the instability of the people's hearts, or it can only be said that the officials' hearts are unstable.

Emperor Chongzhen ignored this. He was waiting for Chen Xinjia to throw himself into the trap, and for Shanxi merchants to gather all the food and materials they hoarded in various places to Zhangjiakou.

Two days later, Chen Xinjia finally hurried to the capital.He didn't enter the palace immediately to pay the decree, but asked people to inquire about the current situation in the capital?As for himself, he changed his clothes again and sneaked away to Yang Sichang's residence.

"Ah, it's Mr. Chen!" The housekeeper of Yang's mansion couldn't help being surprised when he saw the person coming, "My master is still in the cabinet, not in the mansion."

Chen Xinjia naturally knew this point, Yang Sichang was not in the house, but he was anxious about the affairs of the capital, so he had to talk it over with Yang Sichang before meeting the saint.Therefore, he immediately said decisively to the housekeeper of the Yang family: "I have an urgent matter to discuss with the cabinet department. No matter what, please ask the cabinet department to come back immediately!"

The housekeeper naturally knew that Chen Xinjia could become the governor of Xuanda, but it was recommended by his master. He knew that his master had a very good relationship with Chen Xinjia, so, under Chen Xinjia's repeated urging, he hesitated for a moment, and ran to the office in person. I'm looking for Yang Sichang.

At this time, Chen Xinjia's subordinates also came to Yang's mansion and told him what they had learned.Hearing that the factory guards haven't been dispatched yet, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, Yang Sichang came back with an uneasy expression on his face. When he saw Chen Xinjia, he asked, "What's the matter, can't we talk about it after I leave the office?"

During this period of time, he has always felt that he has lost his Sacred Heart, and tried to impeach Lu Xiangsheng and others, but failed repeatedly, and his mood has not been very good.

Having said that, he took out a large handful of banknotes from his pocket, threw them in front of Chen Xinjia and said, "These are waste papers, take them back!"

Obviously, he went to get these things before meeting Chen Xinjia.

Chen Xinjia just glanced at it, and knew that it was the banknotes of Fanji Bank that he had given to Yang Sichang in the past.He didn't care about these things, and immediately said: "It's all right. When it's convenient later, in order to apologize, I'll ask someone to send over double the money."

Hearing this, Yang Sichang was a little surprised, he didn't expect Chen Xinjia to be so rich.It seems that the official position of Xuanda governor is a fat job!
The problem of the banknotes is solved in this way, and the money can be doubled, which is not a small amount.But Yang Sichang believed that since Chen Xinjia said so, it was impossible not to give it.Therefore, his complexion immediately improved a lot, and he asked the housekeeper to serve tea, and then asked kindly: "My dear brother, why are you calling me back so urgently?"

Chen Xinjia was not surprised to see that the Yinzi offensive was effective. After all, being an official these days isn't all about money!

Hearing Yang Sichang's question, he quickly replied: "I came to Beijing on the emperor's order, saying that I wanted to cooperate with the factory guard to investigate the hoarding of grain by Shanxi merchants."

Seeing that Yang Sichang was a little puzzled, he contacted and explained in detail: "Those grain merchants who hoarded grain and didn't sell the land were actually run by Shanxi merchants. Therefore, the emperor suspected that Shanxi merchants were plotting rebellion and sent factory guards to Shanxi is messing around. What are you talking about?"

Of course Yang Sichang knew that the famous businessmen in Shanxi had a good relationship with Chen Xinjia.It is estimated that Chen Xinjia is so rich, it is likely that the money came from those famous Shanxi merchants.Therefore, he also immediately understood what Chen Xinjia meant when he said that there was a very urgent matter.

In this regard, it is actually consistent with his own demands.After all, a large part of his money income also comes from Chen Xinjia. Naturally, he does not want the source of the money, that is, Shanxi merchants and others, to be investigated.In addition, he didn't want the emperor to designate it as a case of treason just because the mere grain merchants were hoarding strange houses, so that they could go on like this, while the appointment of Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and others had been delayed.

So, he immediately coincided with Chen Xinjia, both wanting to divert the emperor's attention and prevent the emperor from continuing to engage in that ridiculous treason case.After the two discussed it, the result was soon reached, and Chen Xinjia also left the Yang Mansion with peace of mind.

Soon, in the afternoon of the same day, a demonic wind suddenly blew up in the capital, saying that Jianlu had been out of customs for a long time, and millions of people had been victimized to varying degrees. , Give the people justice.

Some people even bluntly stated that Lu Xiangsheng, the former commander of the King Qin Army, should bear the main responsibility.Even though there was a battle to win the Jianlu later.But there are still nearly [-] people, and countless supplies have been looted to Liaodong.Even De Wang's lineage is unknown, and Lu Xiangsheng must be responsible for this matter.

A copy of the local impeachment memorials flew to the imperial court like snowflakes.When it was getting dark, Lan Tianbao and others sorted out the statistics on Emperor Chongzhen's side, and made another statistics, and then reported to Emperor Chongzhen that it was similar to the previous statistics. The one who was impeached the first time is still impeaching this time.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled coldly.I have been staying in middle school, thinking that there is nothing I can do?I was just waiting for the opportunity, and now the time is almost up, so I just close the net.

Thinking of this, when Chen Xinjia entered the palace full of confidence, before he had time to speak, he heard Emperor Chongzhen yell angrily: "You traitor, for your own selfishness, you disregard the laws of the country and disregard the king. En, help the evildoer to be cruel, and participate in the conspiracy against our Daming Society Ji Jiangshan. Come on, let me put him in the imperial prison and serve him severely."
