Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 486 It's Worth It
Before Liu Wenxiu escorted Kong Yinzhi's family, before he arrived at the capital, Emperor Chongzhen had already received the news from Kuai Ma, and knew about the proceeds of the raid.

Wang Chengen, who submitted the list, saw Emperor Chongzhen holding the list, and kept having fun.Although he didn't make a sound, Wang Chengen could feel the incomparable happiness exuding from Emperor Chongzhen when he closed his eyes!
In Wang Chengen's memory, there was only one time of happiness like this, and that was when he received the news of the great victory in Jizhou.

In this regard, Wang Chengen actually understood Emperor Chongzhen's mood at this time.

The wealth of the Kong family is simply the wealthiest in the world.What Shanxi merchants and big salt merchants, if it is only about wealth, no one is as rich as the Kong family.

This is not only reflected in the gold and silver property, but also food, I don’t know how much there is, but this time I didn’t bring the capital, and I can’t bring it. It is directly sealed up there, waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to distribute it.

In fact, if it was just about gold and silver, there might not be as many great salt merchants in Yangzhou. However, the Kong family has a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings, and if any one is put up for auction, it will cost a lot of money.

With the coming of peace in the world, the value of these antique calligraphy and paintings will only increase!

Wang Chengen reckoned that there were quite a few antique calligraphy and paintings among them, perhaps the Emperor Chongzhen would not be willing to sell them, they could be the treasures of the palace!
No, the Confucian family has accumulated so many generations, so many dynasties have changed, but the Confucian family has been safe and sound. To collect this collection of antique calligraphy and paintings, the Ming royal family can't compare, this is a very normal thing!

It is said that during the Jiajing period, the thieves led by Liu Liu and Liu Qi attacked Qufu once, and lost a lot.Otherwise, the list would probably be longer.

He was thinking there, and Emperor Chongzhen finally came back to his senses. He looked at Wang Chengen with a smile on his face, and said repeatedly: "It's worth it, it's really worth it! It's not in vain for me and my partner to act!"

Wang Chengen listened, and quickly smiled and wanted to respond, but unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen's face suddenly darkened again and said: "It's a pity, if I do this after I ascend the throne, it will not be short of money, so that state affairs are corrupted." , and issued an edict of guilt!"

The matter of committing an imperial edict was always a thorn in Emperor Chongzhen's heart.Every time I think about it, I feel a dull pain.

When the situation improved before, Emperor Chongzhen had already forgotten about it.However, this time, when these literati made trouble and brought up this matter again, it reminded him again.

No matter what he does in the future, this crime has already happened, and it will never be erased no matter what.

Seeing him like this, Wang Chengen's eyes rolled and he had an idea, so he quickly comforted him: "Back then, Gou Jian tried his best, which was passed down as a good story and praised by later generations. But Long Live God turned the world around, not only rejuvenating Daming, but even surpassing Taizu, Emperor Chengzu, the slaves thought that future generations would also respect the Lord Long Live and praise him forever!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen remembered that with the help of Liu Weichao, the achievements he would achieve in the future were indeed as what his companion had said. Immediately, he beamed again, and immediately said to Wang Chengen: "My companion can still speak, hahaha..."

When Wang Chengen heard this, he also laughed along with him.

After Emperor Chongzhen smiled for a while, he looked down at the list on the imperial case again.The light in those eyes is really no different from a pervert seeing a beautiful woman!
With an uncontrollable smile, he seemed to be talking to himself, and he seemed to be saying to Wang Chengen: "With the grain of the Kong family, there is no need for Jiangnan to purchase yamen to raise grain. This year, the grain and grass of Dongjiang Town will be rebuilt. It is enough. It just happens to be in Ludi, so it is really convenient!"

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen didn't look at him, Wang Chengen laughed along with him and didn't speak.

And Emperor Chongzhen ignored him, continued to look at the list and said: "With these properties, my steam warships can also be remodeled at a faster speed. I have to lie on my stomach. Whether it is sea or land, I am the king!"

Wang Chengen could tell that Long Live Dare to Love is more concerned about the fact that Zheng Zhilong is the Pirate King!

Just as he was thinking, he heard Emperor Chongzhen continue to say: "In the future, I will also issue command flags. I have the confidence to issue command flags. Hehe, the tax on the sea has also been collected, so I am not afraid of running out of money!"

"..." Wang Chengen was speechless. It turned out that he didn't mind about the Pirate King's affairs, but that he also minded that Zheng Zhilong received so much money for Lingqi every year!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: Look, the word money embarrassed the emperor of Ming Dynasty like this, and what he was talking about was money!
At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen raised his head again, looked at Wang Chengen and said, "I will never return the money no matter what, when they arrive in the capital, remember what I said, and cooperate well! "

Hearing this, Wang Chengen quickly put away his smile, and hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, Lord Long Live, this servant has kept it in mind! Even if you forget to eat, you don't dare to forget what Lord Long Live told you!"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately smiled and tapped him, feeling very happy.

At this moment, some censors have already started to publish the memorial, and started talking about those scholars making troubles.Of course, they didn't dare to say that Kong Yinzhi was involved in the imperial power from the very beginning, but only pointed out that these literati dared to disturb the Tribute Court and hinder the progress of the examination, and hoped that Emperor Chongzhen would order a joint trial among the three divisions.

According to the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", counties below [-] rods will be judged automatically, states below [-] rods will be judged automatically, and prefectures below [-] rods will be judged automatically.

Of course, these refer to ordinary cases.

If it is a major case, in order to complete the trial of the major case as soon as possible, reduce the time-consuming process of the first instance, the second instance and the supervision process, and to reflect the principle of handling the case by listening to it, there is a joint trial of the three divisions, also known as the three courts. joint hearing.

The so-called major cases generally refer to cases of big traitors and sycophants, or cases that have caused a major impact.

For example, the great eunuch Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian and the treacherous official Yan Song, etc., are all tried in three courts.

There is also a case that has not had such a huge influence like Wei Zhongxian, but the case is complicated and has a great impact. In order to close the case quickly and fairly, there will be three joint trials.

An example is that Ma Zhongxi, the censor of the Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate during the Zhengde period, made a major mistake in the process of encircling and suppressing the Liuliu and Liuqi peasant uprisings, which delayed the opportunity of the war.

Finally, there is another category of people, regardless of their status, who may be tried in three sessions.This category is the charge of treason.

During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, Li Gao, a monk from Xianning, Shaanxi, confuses the crowd with demonic words and gathers 24 monks to rebel. What can a group of monks do?It was taken in a pot before I started.This kind of rebellion can be said to be child's play.

However, just because it involved treason, it ended up going through the process of three joint trials.

Therefore, it is reasonable and reasonable for those censors to propose a joint trial by the three divisions.

Emperor Chongzhen was very clear about these people's calculations. As long as those civil officials were allowed to participate in the interrogation, Kong Yinzhi would not be involved in the crime of mobilizing a crowd for treason.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen kept all those memorials.

However, this did not dissuade these civil officials from trying to rescue the Confucian family in Qufu.Instead, more censors began to report on the matter.Even some who are not censors have written letters.

Emperor Chongzhen already had experience, and those important civil servants hadn't stepped out yet. It is estimated that they would wait for Kong Yinzhi to be escorted to the capital before dispatching to fight him.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen held a trump card in his hand, so he was not afraid of those civil officials fighting against him.I even looked forward to it, what expressions did these civil servants have when they turned around and showed their trump cards!

Emperor Chongzhen was going to take advantage of this opportunity, not only to clean up the Kong family, but also to officially introduce science.

........................

He was right in his thinking. In He Fengsheng's mansion, the six ministers, as well as the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, etc., the highest-ranking civil officials in Beijing all gathered together to discuss matters.

Among them, some people actually don't want to come.But there is no way, as a Confucian child, if you watch the emperor confiscate the family of the saint Confucius, you will have no face to face the difficulties of scholars all over the world.

However, this involved the imperial power after all, even if they knew that Yan Shenggong must have been wronged, the matter was very difficult.

Fortunately, after such a long time, the emperor probably has become a little more rational.Otherwise, those censor officials would not only stay in the middle school, but they might also be arrested by the factory guards and sent to prison.

Also, when Confucius was escorted to Beijing, literati from all over the country spontaneously escorted him to Beijing. The scale is so large that public opinion cannot be ignored.

Even the emperor must think twice after knowing this situation.

No, I heard He Fengsheng say to these colleagues present: "It is estimated that we will arrive in the capital tomorrow, no matter what, we must try to get the emperor to agree to the joint trial of the three divisions, so that we have the opportunity to elute the public for Yan Shenggong The charge of treason!"

In this regard, these people here all agree.

But Xu Shiqi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, frowned and said: "But the emperor has never let go. If he insists on going his own way, what can I do?"

The emperor of heaven and earth is the biggest, if the emperor really doesn't care about it, there is really nothing they can do about it as courtiers!
Hearing his words, everyone was speechless for a moment.In fact, they knew in their hearts that even if they submitted the letter, the emperor might not agree to it, and there was still a shortage of people with enough weight.

It seemed that Sun Chuanting could do what he had discussed before, but since he was not in the capital, it was still difficult to persuade the emperor.

When they were in a dilemma, Zuo Maodi suddenly thought of a person, and immediately slapped his hands and said: "Yes! If someone goes to persuade the emperor, and then we follow up with Shangzuo, the emperor should agree!"
