Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 95 The Capital Storm
Once Wang Dehua, the admiral of the East Factory, gets ruthless, there will be more unlucky people.

The few people who were tortured to death could not escape, and the people who had contacts with them could not escape, and those people in the Fushe in the capital were also arrested wantonly.

The Fushe at this time was already the largest society in the late Ming Dynasty.It is an organization united by dozens of associations in the late Ming Dynasty. It began to rise in the south of the Yangtze River. By the 15th year of Chongzhen, it had already expanded to the northern capital.

According to records, the number reached more than 2000!
In ancient times, this number was absolutely unprecedented.

You know, among the more than 2000 people, all of them are scholars, and most of them are from official families.Such a force is definitely a huge force.

In other words, there are definitely a lot of rehabilitation personnel in the capital.

When Dongchang caught him, he was in a hurry, and Dongchang's fans were seen everywhere, escorting groups of scholars.This situation is almost the same as the rampant factory guards during the Tianqi years.

Many officials dare not say anything about this.

This is a case involving imperial examination fraud and murder.The matter is so big that no one can handle it.

At least when it first happened, no one dared to speak for Fushe as a young bird.

However, what is surprising is that in such a situation, rumors began to spread again, saying that the rampant factory guards would definitely arouse the wrath of the heavens. The disaster like the explosion of Wang Gong's factory in the reign of Tianqi was the best example.

If the emperor does not restrain the factory guards, change his mind, and rectify the recent treacherous officials in the court, maybe a catastrophe will come.

As soon as this rumor came out, it just met the needs of the officialdom, and those officials actively began to spread the rumor, and the rumor became more and more terrifying.He even pointed the finger at the emperor, saying that the world was in chaos and that the emperor lost his virtue.

Some censor officials also began to play, demanding that the Emperor Chongzhen respond to heaven, follow public opinion, restrain the factory guards, stop the persecution of civil and military officials, eliminate the leading treacherous officials, and so on.

According to past experience, once this situation is formed, the emperor will definitely be under great pressure, and it is very likely that he will make a compromise.

However, this time, they were wrong again!
Even, something that made them even more unexpected happened suddenly.

Xichang suddenly made a big move and surrounded Cheng Guogong's mansion, as well as the mansions of several generals in the Beijing camp who had close ties with Cheng Guogong.

The Yongwei Battalion also followed suit, and the generals of the Yongwei Battalion who took control of the Wucheng Bingmasi side took the soldiers of the Wucheng Bingmasi to the streets for martial law, while the Yongwei Battalion headquarters directly broke into the Beijing camp. Controlled the entire Beijing Camp.

This group of people headed by Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen were all arrested and sent to Jinyiwei Imperial Prison.This incident shocked the entire capital.

You must know that Cheng Guogong is by no means comparable to ordinary civil and military officials, even the chief assistant and the like, are not comparable at all.

Cheng Guogong is the hereditary Duke of Ming Dynasty, which originated from Zhu Neng, the famous general Zhu Neng when Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was in trouble.

Not to mention far away, just talk about Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Cheng, who was extremely trusted by the emperor. He represented the emperor 66 times to offer sacrifices to Yuanqiu 39 times, Fang Ze 29 times, and participated in Jinshi Enrong Banquet [-] times. Ming Muzong and Ming Shenzong ascended the throne Both are responsible for the task of holding the knot and holding the crown.The reward is invincible.

Because of him, Enze's younger brother Zhu Xixiao was an official, and the official was the Taibao and Prince Taifu, in charge of Jinyi Weishi, and the Zuodudu of the rear army governor's mansion.

Zhu Xixiao was even able to coerce Emperor Wanli to posthumously crown his elder brother Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Cheng, as Dingxiang King, and fought with the "British Duke Zhang Mao" to become king, and fought with the British Duke family of the Ming Dynasty.

From this we can see how powerful Cheng Guogong's lineage is.

In other words, it means that Cheng Guogong's lineage was trusted by all Ming emperors.

All of a sudden, Emperor Chongzhen had arrested the current Cheng Guogong. It would be strange not to shock everyone!

You know, before that, Emperor Chongzhen also trusted Cheng Guogong very much. Just like the previous emperors, he handed over the capital camp to Cheng Guogong and asked him to inspect the border on behalf of the sky.

Shocked, all civil and military officials also knew that the current emperor had been arrested for the crime of being a Duke.

Colluding with the servants, fabricating rumors about the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva, killing the emperor's five sons; in charge of the Beijing camp, eating empty pay, deducting military pay, and enslaving the soldiers of the Beijing camp as slaves.Now they are fabricating rumors with the intention of influencing the court situation...

In short, there are a lot of charges, many of which involve treason.

But no one believed that Cheng Guogong would really conspire against him, but no one could guarantee that Cheng Guogong didn't do these things!
The matter of the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva also shocked the capital. On the surface, it was only related to the private affairs of Wu Qinghou's family, but the fifth son of the emperor died, and a chief assistant was brought down, which changed the court situation.

In short, in the past few days, the major events in the capital, one after another, whether it is the Cheng Guogong case or the Wu Changshi case, are all big things.

The factory guards did not stop, but became more active.Those arrested were no longer just scholars, civil servants, and even generals.

In just a few days, Jin Yiwei Prison was overcrowded.

On the streets of the capital, the three inner guards, namely Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Xichang, with the assistance of soldiers from the Wucheng Army and Masi, ransacked their homes wantonly.Anyone caught will have their homes ransacked.

Officials who had contributed to the flames through rumors before, including those censors, were also arrested.The crime is very simple, only one, corruption.

More and more belongings were reported to Emperor Chongzhen.

The cash alone has reached as much as 300 million taels, more than half of which came from Cheng Guogong's mansion!

No matter what the crime was, this incident was finally determined by later generations as the first anti-corruption case since the Hongwu Dynasty in Ming Dynasty.

Because in the eyes of later generations, it doesn't matter whether the specific crime is true or not.The important thing is that after doing this, Emperor Chongzhen became rich!
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help feeling very happy when he saw more and more wealth.

This kind of money is really fast, a lot, and easy!

Liu Weichao once said that after thief Li entered the capital, he finally got 7000 million taels of gold, silver and jewelry.But this time, it was only more than 300 million taels, even if other property was converted, it would not exceed 800 million taels.It's still far away from that 7000 million taels!
It's fun to raid the house for a while, but wouldn't it be fun to keep raiding the house?

Thinking of Liu Weichao's words, Emperor Chongzhen changed his mind.

Not to mention too much, just copy 3000 million taels, right?By the way, the administration of officials can be rectified, and the army can be strengthened with money, disaster relief, etc., which can be said to kill birds with one stone.

Emperor Chongzhen thought so, so he decided to strike while the iron was hot and continue to copy more corrupt officials.No matter what, it is good to avenge myself in another world.

But who knows, before he took the next step, the consequences of doing so began to appear.

　Thank you Yueyin Xingzang Yenong for the reward of 500 starting coins, and thank you for the me who is in a dream.
