Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 72
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be very happy when he saw it.The system is a surprise!Worthy of recognition!However, who should be "rewarded" with this Grade C eavesdropping seed needs to be carefully considered.

After being happy for a while, he reclined on the dragon chair and closed his eyes to rest, and began to think about the next thing.

This case in the Yuma Prison involves almost everyone with official rank in the entire Yuma Prison, including military lieutenant generals.Now that Dongchang is searching and arresting people, people are inevitably panicking.

The most important thing is that these armies under the jurisdiction of the Yuma Supervisor hold important positions in the Suwei Palace. If something happens, the palace will be the first to suffer.Also, the Yongwei Battalion is fighting outside, and the combat effectiveness of this unit is still very strong.The Yongwei Battalion cannot be affected just because of the rectification of the Yumajian!
Thinking of these things, Emperor Chongzhen became more cautious about rectifying the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

In fact, he saw the names of the two supervisors of the Yongwei Battalion in the corruption list that Cao Huachun handed over.But relatively speaking, these people who stayed in the capital were not serious.Or from another point of view, Wang Zhixin, the eunuch who was in charge of the former imperial horse supervisor, was actually not stupid.He also knew that he couldn't wipe out all the combat power of his army, and there must be an ace division in his hand, so that he could also have the right to speak.

Therefore, in the Four and Two Battalions under the Yumajian, they did not move the Yongwei Battalion much, and tried their best to ensure the training and logistics of the Yongwei Battalion.Because of this, there is such a capable "Yulin Army" in the Four Guards and Two Battalions.

The original Emperor Chongzhen didn't know the twists and turns in the middle. He thought that the Yongweiying, a division capable of fighting, felt that this method of forming an army was useful, so he quickly established another one, but in the end there was no Yongwei. battalion strength.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about this and decided to focus on appeasing the Yongwei camp, while reorganizing the other armies.Ignore it for now, let Cao Huachun lead Dongchang to eliminate the evildoers, and then he will selectively pardon some low-level officers, at least to stabilize the imperial guards in the imperial palace.

At this time, Cao Huachun didn't think that he was being a villain.The expansion of the East Factory added 500 people at once, and even knocked down the second prison in the palace. The sense of accomplishment brought about by this made him feel the satisfaction he had never had before.

When he saw the palm print eunuchs of other prisons, he felt extra confident.He socialized with a smile on his face, but he thought in his heart, wait, let's make a statement first, and then we will deal with you one by one later!

Dongchang was checking the relevant personnel of the Yumajian, but there was not enough manpower, so Cao Huachun asked them to tidy up the [-] refugees who had just been added, and then sent them to the guards to take them with them to continue the search.And the group of princes and buddies who have just been arrested have to wait on them earlier and report the situation to the emperor earlier.I have to say that on this day, he was very busy, but he was very happy, isn't he!
However, other people may not be in the same mood as Cao Huachun.After leaving the refugee camp, in the cabinet, Fang Fengnian, the assistant minister, was listless, sitting behind the desk in a daze, and did not deal with those piles of memorials.

Xue Guoguan came over, saw him like this, walked in front of him, and asked seriously: "It's just a mouth in the house, as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, is it necessary for you to be so unhappy?"

When Fang Fengnian heard this, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, you Xue Manzi, you have done so many things but you don't know what to be afraid of!He was very angry in his heart, but on the surface, he just replied indifferently: "The weather is cold and I feel a little unwell, Xue Ge is always thinking too much!"

When Xue Guoguan heard this, he didn't say anything, and turned to look at Yang Sichang on the other side, seeing that he was drawing a pen, so he didn't say anything, and walked back to his seat.

Fang Fengnian watched him leave, scolded "Xue Manzi" in his heart, and then sighed in his heart.At this moment, he is worried!
Of course, he was not worried about having another mouth to eat in his house, but because today's incident gave him a very bad premonition.Maybe Xue Manzi's previous proposal to borrow money from the emperor would be made public and implemented.

The matter of borrowing money from civil and military officials and princes and nobles is not comparable to the trivial matter of receiving a refugee from a fifth-rank official today!Or put it the other way around, today it is only officials above the fifth-rank official who bring back a refugee. For such a trivial matter, civil and military officials, including Xungui, are against it.Then if the loan is made public, wouldn't it step on everyone's tail, they will all jump up, and they will probably go crazy!
However, the imperial court had no money, but King Keqin's army needed money, money was needed to clean up the mess after the war, money was needed to reorganize the Great Wall defense line... Anyway, all imaginable places needed money.Under such a background, the emperor is very likely to adopt Xue Manzi's loan proposal, unless there are other ways to get money, and there must be enough money, but is this possible?

Dongchang is actually checking those people in the Yumajian, but how much money can be reported in the end?Furthermore, this kind of confiscation is mostly silk and satin, antique calligraphy and paintings, shops and farms, and it is difficult to realize it.Putting hope on these, it is estimated that there is not enough money for a reward!
After thinking about it, Fang Fengnian felt that the possibility of borrowing money was getting bigger and bigger.Thinking of this, he was a little scared.

Xue Manzi's previous proposal was to collect loans in the name of the cabinet. That is to say, the entire cabinet would be dragged down by Xue Manzi and hated by all the civil and military officials, princes and nobles.Thinking of the scene in the early court today, Fang Fengnian couldn't imagine what would happen after the loan was brought up.
Thinking of this, he felt that the seat under him seemed a little hot.

At this time, an idea suddenly popped up in Fang Fengnian's mind: resign and return to his hometown?
Yes, rather than waiting for Xue Manzi's loan incident to break out, it would be better to resign now and return home!You know, the fights in the officialdom these days are often deadly!
With an idea in mind, Fang Fengnian heaved a sigh of relief, turned his head and glanced at Yang Sichang, and saw that he was concentrating on reading the memorial, and couldn't help thinking in his heart: Ziwei, Ziwei, I can't accompany you anymore, so let's do it for ourselves!

But he didn't know that although Yang Sichang looked serious, in fact, he was full of other things in his heart, but he didn't show it.

Ever since his proposition that in order to resist foreign aggression, one must first settle the domestic affairs, was refuted by Emperor Chongzhen, Yang Sichang actually had hidden worries in his heart.Although he changed his tune in time, agreed with Emperor Chongzhen's statement, and tried every means to follow the emperor's wishes, the effect was still not good, and the emperor did not immediately adopt his proposal to increase training pay.

But in today's morning court, Yang Sichang opposed Xue Manzi's proposal, but the emperor accepted Xue Manzi's proposal, which made him stand on the opposite side of the emperor again, which made him even more uneasy.

But at least he is a minister of the Ming Dynasty, a top figure among civil servants.After such a long period of buffering, Yang Sichang found a reason to comfort himself: he was known as a soldier in front of the emperor, but now that there are troubles, his position is indispensable.Even if there is a disagreement with the emperor, it should be a trivial matter and will not have much impact on him.

Of course, there is a hidden concern.It's that Lu Xiangsheng has regained the emperor's attention again, and judging from the feeling these days, it seems that the emperor values ​​Lu Xiangsheng more than himself!
Thinking of this, Yang Sichang suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled coldly, thinking in his heart, luckily God is helping him.That Lu Xiangsheng wanted to die on his own, but was surrounded by a hundred thousand Manchu troops in Julu. Nine out of ten, it was impossible for him to survive.In this way, his position should still be very stable!
