Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 190 Aiding the Tyrant in the Abuse, Deserving Death

Captain Jin Yiwei, who had been waiting nearby, immediately rushed over like a wolf.

Chen Xinjia was dumbfounded on the spot, feeling like he was in a dream.When Captain Jin Yiwei raised his arm and was about to drag him out, he came back to his senses, and immediately struggled unwillingly, and at the same time shouted: "Your Majesty, I am wronged, I am wronged, I am loyal to the affairs of the state, and I have not done anything wrong." There is a little slack, why do you slander the humble minister for treason..."

"Hehe, you still refuse to plead guilty! Or do you think that cooperating with captives and betraying the country is not considered treason, but just to make some money?" Emperor Chongzhen sneered, "Those people and soldiers who were indirectly killed by you are really serious. I will die with peace!"

Having said that, he turned his head to look at the leader of the Jinyiwei officer, and gave him an order: "Serve him well every day, and let go of those who have not died in peace!"

At this time, Chen Xinjia was like a thunderbolt, because it was obvious that the emperor already knew about the business between Jin merchants and Liaodong Jianlu, and even knew more.If he did have what Emperor Chongzhen said before, it was actually just to make money, but at this time, this matter was said by Emperor Chongzhen, it was really treason.

Thinking of this, he struggled crazily, and shouted loudly: "I am wronged, I am wronged, I am beaten into a trick, the scholars in the world have their own justice, and the future generations will have their own justice. Your Majesty is wise, but you must not be deceived by villains..."

The Jinyiwei officer didn't see any further explanation from Emperor Chongzhen, so he asked his subordinates to drag Chen Xinjia away, leaving only his unwilling voice echoing in the hall.

After a while, the hall became quiet.

Chen Baoting, the personal servant, was a little puzzled, and usually had to be taught by the emperor, saying that if he didn't understand something, he could ask it when he was not busy.Therefore, I couldn't hold back, and couldn't help asking the Emperor Chongzhen who was thinking about the problem: "Your Majesty, this traitor Chen is so stubborn, why don't you show him the evidence, so that he can understand that His Majesty has not wronged him!"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head to look at him, and said with a chuckle, "I don't know how many people have been killed by this kind of traitor. How can he be so cheap. If you don't show him the evidence, you will make him feel that there is hope. Say hello to him, if you have that persistence, you can last a little longer, and let him have more opportunities to go to prison. When I catch all these traitors and make it public, I will show him evidence to let him understand what he has done. There are gods in the first three feet, if you want to be unknown to others, you must do nothing yourself!"

Hearing this, Chen Xinjia gritted his teeth and insisted on refusing to plead guilty for a glimmer of hope. When he had had enough punishment, he suddenly realized that there was no hope at all. He would probably spit out a mouthful of blood!

Thinking of this, Chen Baoting felt refreshed in his heart.These traitors should let them taste the pain in the world!After death, they will go to the [-]th floor of hell to suffer!
He was thinking, but Emperor Chongzhen stood up and said to them: "Take these things and set them up in the Yumajian barracks! In addition, pass the decree to accompany Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, and Sun Chuanting! There are also Dongchang Admiral Cao Huachun and Jin Yiwei Commander Li Ruolian, all of you go to the Yumajian barracks to meet me."

When Chen Baoting and others heard this, they quickly stepped forward, packed up everything on the imperial case, and immediately sent someone to deliver the emperor's oral instructions and notify Lu Hongsun and the two factory guard leaders.

Hong Chengchou was the first to rush over. Originally, he thought that the emperor's new appointment was about to come down. Thinking about it, he was a little excited and curious at the same time.What kind of official position is it that has not been announced until now?
However, when he saw the servant leading him to the Yumajian barracks, he doubted his judgment again.He wondered in his heart: It's a bit different, what is the emperor doing here in this military camp?It's impossible to continue to lead troops to fight, right?I haven't heard of any recent wars involving the deployment of these three battalions.

Just at the gate of the military camp, he also met Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting who had just arrived. Therefore, Hong Chengchou was even more confused because the new official positions of Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting had actually been decided.That is to say, it should have nothing to do with official positions.

Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting were also a little puzzled.However, with the servants present, the three of them couldn't talk easily, so they rushed to the Yumajian Yamen to meet Emperor Chongzhen.

The owner of the Yumajian, the palm seal eunuch Wang Chengen, acted as a vase as always, and accompanied Emperor Chongzhen.To their surprise, since the reorganization of the three major battalions, the supervisors of each battalion had originally returned to the palace.But at this time, they are all accompanying them, and there is no shortage of people.

So neatly, is there another war?

With this in mind, Lu Hongsun and the other two people hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw the three of them coming, he just nodded his head, his face was serious and he didn't say much.The atmosphere in the lobby seemed a bit solemn.

That is to say, with the effort of the front and rear feet, the three major battalions and the eight general soldiers rushed to the Yumajian Yamen after receiving the order.During this period of time, because they had just accepted a lot of recruits, of course they also competed with each other. They all wanted to train these recruits as soon as possible, so they were all busy. Even if they came immediately after receiving the order, it was a little late.

In their impression, Emperor Chongzhen has always been kind to them.However, at this time they saw the emperor's serious face, and there was such a large lineup, not only the battalion supervisors, but even the three former commanders of the Qin King Army were there, this scene was even more extraordinary.Therefore, the eight general soldiers also restrained their minds and stepped forward to salute solemnly one by one.

Emperor Chongzhen waited for them to finish their salute, and stood on the left and right sides.Just wait a little longer, Cao Huachun and Li Ruolian also arrived together.Seeing this scene, I was also surprised.But for Li Ruolian, because he already knew just now that Governor Xuan Da was imprisoned, so he knew that there was a big problem, so it was a little better.But at this time, no matter how much he knew, he stood up solemnly.

In the lobby, the atmosphere was a little serious and tense.Although there were many people, they couldn't even hear the sound of breathing.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Emperor Chongzhen glanced down, and said solemnly: "You know, why did the Jianlu rise up in Liaodong? Why did my Ming Dynasty repeatedly lose? Daming has to raise his salary year after year, and Daming has no power to fight back, so that these Jianlu can wreak havoc in the pass?"

After hearing the emperor's questions one after another, the people present, including civil servants, eunuchs, or the generals leading the troops, could certainly answer some of them.For example, the military training is insufficient, military pay is insufficient, etc., but they cannot answer some questions and have doubts.

Just like all the people and officials of the Ming Dynasty, who would take the barbarians in the cold land seriously at the beginning, just like other barbarians, tossing and tossing in the borderlands, if the court really needs to be careful, these barbarians can be wiped out in minutes .

However, the Jianlu in Liaodong became stronger and more powerful as they fought. Now they are so powerful that they often enter the pass and plunder, but the Ming army has almost no power to fight back.It has to be said that the Jianlu in Liaodong are really different from the barbarians in other places, which makes them confused and shocked.

Emperor Chongzhen knew that it was impossible for them to answer all his questions, so he didn't need them to answer, and immediately said: "It's because some people in my Ming Dynasty trafficked captives and sold prohibited materials to Liaodong. And they also brought Jianlu news about our Ming army, official news, garrison situation..."

Hearing this, except for the personal servant who had known the news in advance, everyone else couldn't help but be surprised.No matter how much they thought, they never expected that the emperor would say such unexpected news.

Cao Huachun even remembered that Emperor Chongzhen had this kind of suspicion before, and asked him to investigate it, and raised it in the court.But the ministers objected to the saying that there were spies, and then the matter faded away.Unexpectedly, the emperor really said it categorically at this time, there should be conclusive evidence.

Thinking of this, he immediately took a peek at the Commander of Jin Yiwei, and couldn't help but feel depressed. Such a great contribution was actually done by Jin Yiwei?

Naturally, Cao Huachun didn't know, but Li Ruolian had a similar idea in his heart at this time, thinking that Dongchang had seized the news.

While they were thinking, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "The treason I have been talking about before refers to these people! These moths living in Daming's body have been supporting and strengthening the enemy for their own selfishness. How many soldiers died on the battlefield without knowing why, how many people lost their wives and children, and how many people died without knowing it. Among those who killed them, there was such a group of moths. On the land of Liaodong, how many Han people died because of this Bottom. Not to mention, how many millions of people have been persecuted this time when the prisoner entered the pass?"

"If it wasn't for them, the imperial court wouldn't be in such embarrassment; if it wasn't for them, Daming wouldn't have left so many people without a way out, and wouldn't have been incapable of letting thieves ravage the Central Plains and plunge the entire Ming into precarity..."

In the original history, not many people knew about this matter.If it wasn't for the fact that after the Manchu emperor entered the customs, in order to commend their contributions, he sealed off the eight imperial merchants. Maybe they really made money and their reputation was not bad, then it would be too cheap for them!
At least in later generations, they are fixed on the pillar of shame in history.Of course, in this plane, it's not just that cheap.

Listening to the emperor's words, Sun Chuanting frowned slightly.Those grain merchants who were arrested actually had such high means?Your Majesty, are you exaggerating a bit?
He was not the only one who had this idea, the other two people also had this idea, and even these people present had it.However, the emperor was speaking, and no one dared to interrupt. They all just listened silently.

However, Sun Chuanting's temper was a little straighter. When he heard the gap between the emperor's words, he bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, just those grain merchants, how can they be so powerful? Once these things get out, there will be no one in the court." People will believe it!"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at him, and immediately shook his head and said: "Sun Qing is wrong. The grain merchants arrested by the capital are only a very small number. Behind them are all Shanxi merchants, and they are in collusion with Shanxi merchants. Together, there are important ministers in the court. So, do you have the ability to do such things?"

Hearing this, almost everyone was shocked.Shanxi Merchants?And the important ministers in the court?To them, each of these news can be said to be very shocking news.

But relatively speaking, Lu Xiangsheng was relatively less shocked.Because he was the governor of Xuanda, those Shanxi merchants wanted to bribe him, but he naturally refused.After he implemented the food-based policy, the relationship between the two parties deteriorated further.

He had a rough idea of ​​how wealthy those Shanxi merchants were.After the emperor said that, he immediately remembered that the geographical location of Shanxi was indeed very easy for smuggling.

"Let's not talk about it, let's just say that this time, those Shanxi merchants have hoarded a large amount of grain and grass materials in advance, and they will be able to make a lot of money after Jianlu plunders enough people to go to Liaodong." Emperor Chongzhen He said with hatred, "Others don't know, but these Shanxi merchants just wish that the more wealth the Jianlu plundered in the pass, the better, and the more people plundered, the better, because in this way, they can make a fortune. !"

"Why did the Jian captives suddenly go south to Jinan Mansion this time, and why did they attack again? Just a group of Liaodong Tartars, how much can they know about the situation in the pass?" Emperor Chongzhen asked himself with a cold expression, "It is because Some Shanxi merchants were tipping off the news. When they heard that Jianlu’s war was unfavorable, they even rushed to Jianlu’s army in person to offer their advice. During this time, they also wanted to make Lu Qing bear the crime of falling into the hands of all the ministers, so that I would be punished by Lu Qing. idea!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng felt a chill run up his forehead from behind.If it wasn't for the emperor's wisdom, they would definitely have to bear the charge for this move.

It's really no wonder, no matter how fierce the turmoil in the court was, the emperor has always followed this matter. He neither pursued the responsibility for the fall of the vassal, nor made his treatment public. It turned out that he was waiting for this matter to be made public...

Thinking of all this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but rejoice that he met a good emperor again!

Emperor Chongzhen, who was on the throne, naturally did not hide anything from the people below, and explained everything he knew.

When they heard that Chen Xinjia, the governor of Xuanda, turned out to be the spokesperson of Shanxi merchants in the court, he used money to pave the way for him from the time when he was the deputy envoy of Ning Qiandao Military Preparation, and finally became the official of the Ming Dynasty. When their minister Yang Sichang was often used by them to eliminate dissidents in the court, these people all opened their mouths.They couldn't imagine how powerful this Shanxi merchant was.It's no wonder that they can learn about news about the Ming Dynasty's officialdom, as well as news about the military in various places, etc.

Hearing these words, Cao Huachun broke into sweat, because he was frightened.Li Ruolian has only been the commander of Jinyiwei not long ago, so it's understandable that he couldn't find out.But he, the admiral of the East Factory, has been there for many years.He even had a good relationship with some of them before.

Thinking of this, he felt a little weak in his legs.

But all the soldiers present were furious.Only then did they understand that the Ming army hadn't fought Jianlu yet, and Jianlu had seen through their old background, so how could they fight?
Emperor Chongzhen said sternly at this time: "From the beginning of the Jianlu rebellion, there have been spies from Ming Dynasty who have been helping them. These spies, who aided the emperor, deserved to die! No matter what has been discovered or not, I will let them They are paying an unbearable price!"

After finishing speaking, he just nodded slightly, and Chen Baoting, who was standing beside him, immediately stepped forward, took something and hung it on a screen, and placed it in the lobby.

Everyone looked intently and recognized the detailed map of the northern part of the Ming Dynasty. Many places on it were marked with red circles, especially the location of Zhangjiakou, which was marked with a big circle.
