Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 47 Dealing with Shanxi Merchants
The factory guard is directly under the emperor's direct control, and its head, whether it is the admiral of the East Factory or the commander of Jin Yiwei, must be the most confidant of the emperor, and he is the emperor's minion.

However, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the Commander of Jin Yiwei who was saluting in front of him, but he didn't have such a feeling of being a confidant.As Xue Guoguan Xue Manzi said, corrupt officials are rampant because of improper factory guards.Regardless of whether it was Cao Huachun or this Luo Yangxing, what they did was actually lying on Daming's body and sucking blood.

However, now that they have just used methods against Dongchang, it is not appropriate to use Jinyiwei for the time being!Emperor Chongzhen thought so in his heart, and said lightly: "Be flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Luo Yang replied angrily, and then stood by.

For some reason, he had an intuition in his heart that the emperor seemed to be different from before, at least there were some subtle changes in his attitude towards him.This feeling made him slightly vigilant and became more "righteous".

Emperor Chongzhen looked at him and said calmly: "Luo Qing, your father made many contributions in Korea's war against the Japanese. I will keep them in mind!"

Jin Yiwei contributed a lot in the Ming Dynasty's War to Resist the Japanese and Aid Korea.Although Luo Yangxing's father, Luo Sigong, was not personally involved, he is the chief officer after all, and the credit goes to him.

In fact, it is also because of Luo Sigong's relatively great contributions. Therefore, after the original Emperor Chongzhen killed Wei Zhongxian, he let Luo Yangxing, who had a grudge against Wei Zhongxian, take over the post of Jin Yiwei's commander. Luo Yang can be a useful person just like his father.

Luo Yangxing, who was standing with low eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, didn't know why the emperor suddenly brought up this matter, he was puzzled, and hurriedly said modestly: "Your Majesty still remembers my late father's merits, if my late father is still here, I must be ashamed!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, showing a sneer, and then he said in a cold tone: "Oh, but I thought that the person who should be ashamed should be Luo Qing, right?"

Hearing this, Luo Yangxing suddenly felt like a bolt from the blue, the emperor was dissatisfied with him!He quickly knelt down to be punished and pleaded guilty.

"Your father did something, but he was murdered by Wei Ni. Therefore, I promoted you to be the Commander of Jinyiwei, and I hope that you can inherit your father's career, continue to serve Daming, and make some achievements!"

When Emperor Chongzhen said this, his voice suddenly raised, and he continued loudly: "But, what about you? You have disappointed me so much!"

"The general is guilty!" Luo Yangxing's back turned cold when he heard it, and he guessed in his heart that he didn't know who had sued him, and pleaded guilty on the ground.

"The Qing Dynasty in Liaodong is the great enemy of the Ming Dynasty! It should be the key target of your Jinyiwei!" Emperor Chongzhen stood up, pointed at Luo Yangxing, and asked sharply, "However, the Tartars made a detour several times. When Mongolia enters the border, will Jin Yiwei have a report? Will there be a warning? Take a look at you, can you be half as capable as your father?"

It has to be said that Emperor Chongzhen's tone was a bit serious, and Luo Yangxing was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.He didn't know why the emperor suddenly came to turn over this account at this time?You must know that this time is the fourth time that the Manchu Qing army has entered the customs.Why didn't I think of this in the first three times, but now I want to investigate, what happened in the middle?
"Also, why did the Manchu army enter the customs every time when the bandits had nowhere to go? Why did the imperial court have to let the bandits go at such a critical moment and dispatched troops to serve the king? The Manchu army was in Liaodong, separated Going to Shanhaiguan, it can't be such a coincidence every time, right?"

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen knew it well, nine out of ten it was the well-known Shanxi merchants who did good deeds.However, he couldn't break this matter.

Now it is the end of the 11th year of Chongzhen, and Shanxi merchants are definitely giants.Without a subordinate who has always been truly trustworthy, it is absolutely impossible to directly and blatantly confront Shang Shan merchants.

With the current strength of Shanxi Merchants, it is really not easy to buy some people.Civilian officials and generals don't say, who can guarantee whether there are Shanxi merchants in the factory guards, and whether there are Shanxi merchants in the palace?

Emperor Chongzhen did not forget what he heard in the inner study hall, someone outside the palace invested in the little eunuch, this matter is definitely a problem!
Even if you don't say anything about it, it's hard to say who are the ones who hold the military power now, or among the big officials in one side of the border, who were bought by Shanxi merchants, or who were in the same boat.

In terms of official positions, Lu Xiangsheng also served as the governor of Xuanda, and Yang Guozhu was also the chief soldier of the Xuanfu, all of which were in the territory of Shanxi merchants.Could it be said that both of them are Shanxi merchants or in the same group?Emperor Chongzhen did not believe this conclusion.

It is also for this reason that to deal with Shanxi merchants, one must make a decision before acting.Beating the Dongchang and Jinyiwei, but not referring to the Shanxi merchants, is an attempt by Emperor Chongzhen to startle the snake and see what effect it can achieve.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen's questioning made Luo Yangxing's forehead sweat, and he didn't dare to go off, prostrated there, and just pleaded guilty repeatedly.

First gave him a stick, to see if the effect was almost the same, Emperor Chongzhen's tone eased a little and said: "I see that on the basis of your father's merits, I tell you these things not to punish you, but to hope that you can rehabilitate The prestige of Zhenjin Yiwei! Can you be like your father, understand?"

Listen, it's a bit like hating iron but not steel, that is to say, the emperor still regards himself as his confidant.Thinking of this, Luo Yangxing heaved a sigh of relief, didn't dare to wipe off his sweat, and quickly thanked him, expressing that he must work hard like his father.

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen softened his tone again, sat back by himself, and at the same time told Luo Yangxing, "Get up and talk!"

"Sinful minister, thank the emperor for your kindness!" Luo Yangxing quickly thanked him. After getting up, he wiped his sweat and stood with his hands down, respectfully.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at him, and said in a slightly harsher tone: "Now that the Manchu and Qing troops are raging in the pass, I am very worried. My Ming Dynasty does not have elite troops. If we really want to gather them together, I believe this Manchu and Qing army will not be like that. They are so unscrupulous now. For this reason, no matter what the actual situation is, Luo Qing spread the news to me, saying that the Yongwei Camp, Guan Ning Army, Qin Bing, etc., have all arrived in the capital and will soon encircle the Qing Dynasty The army. The news should be spread as quickly as possible, and as widely as possible! The sooner the Manchu Tartars can find out the news, the better! Do you understand?"

"The general understands!" Luo Yangxing immediately clasped his fists and said, "The general will do it right away!"

"Okay, let's go!" Having said this, Emperor Chongzhen saw that Luo Yangxing wanted to leave, so he reminded him again, "I hope Luo Qing can give me a result of what I just said, even if it is temporarily difficult, I will give it to you." I have a plan, understand?"

"The general understands!" While Luo Yangxing replied, he was also depressed: How did the Tatars know what happened in Daming Pass?On the Tartar side, how should Jin Yiwei be installed?

Seeing that the emperor seemed to have nothing to explain, he hurried to complete the new task assigned by the emperor.

Luo Yangxing understands that at this time, the emperor is already dissatisfied with him. If he can't perform better in this new task and can't do his best, then the old and new accounts will be settled together, and the emperor may be dismissed and investigated!
When Emperor Chongzhen saw that he was about to leave the palace gate, he seemed to have just remembered something, so he said to him again: "Luo Qing must bear in mind the responsibility of Jin Yiwei, and don't let me down again!"

This sentence, on the surface, seems to be a summary of what happened just now.However, Luo Yangxing didn't know why, but his heart skipped a beat, and his intuition told him that the emperor's dissatisfaction with Jin Yiwei seemed to be more than just what he said just now.

Thinking about it this way, his heart felt a little heavy, and he hurriedly received the order again before retreating.

He didn't know that when he left, he already had one more thing than when he came, that is, the eavesdropping seeds that he couldn't see, touch, or feel, which Emperor Chongzhen rewarded him just now.

After he left, Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Chen Baoting and other servants, then pointed to a stack of memorials on the imperial table and said: "Send all these memorials to Mr. Xue Ge!"

To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to deal with memorials all day long.But the matters on the memorial, from a small point of view, affect one person's family, from a large point of view, that is, matters that affect a county, a government, or even a province or even the whole country, and they must be handled carefully.
