Chapter 252 The first major case of the Chongzhen Dynasty (third update)

In the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Laosan saw that the sun had risen, so he wanted to go out and find out when the imperial court would start the trial of those Shanxi merchants.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw groups of people running towards the main street calling for friends and friends.In this case, you can tell something is wrong at a glance.

Liu Laosan hurriedly intercepted the next person and asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"

"Don't you know? Chengmen Street is under martial law again, and it is said that the family members of the great Jin merchants Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku and others are going to be escorted to Beijing!"

As soon as Liu Laosan heard this, he immediately turned around and rushed into the door, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Mother, those mud clods that I picked up yesterday, bring them quickly, they will be used again!"

While shouting, he felt regretful, why the imperial court strictly prohibited the use of stones!Kill those spies!

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was not normal to engage in Zhulian, especially those who committed serious crimes.Just like Fan Yongdou, he sold captives and betrayed the country, and his family didn't support him, so can he do it alone?His family also enjoyed the benefits of cooperating with captives and betraying the country.Therefore, if Fan Yongdou was arrested, his family would also be punished. Those whose crimes were serious, like the Fan family, would be uprooted.

Today, the eight famous Shanxi merchants in the late Ming Dynasty enjoy the highest level of treatment, and the entire family has been uprooted.After escorting the principal culprit to the capital for the first time, their family members were also escorted to the capital one after another in the past few days.

As a result, the capital was as lively as a festival.As long as you hear that Chengmen Street is under martial law, you will know that the family members of adulterers have been escorted to Beijing.In this war of Jianlu's invasion of Gyeonggi, the greater the loss and the more relatives died, the more enthusiastic the hospitality will be.

In fact, at this time, there is no need for an interrogation by the court, and the people in the capital already believe that these people are Tonglu.Their grief at the end of last year needed an outlet.Sometimes, even people who are labeled as kindness will follow blindly.

However, Hu Guang didn't procrastinate for long. On the second day after Fan Yongdou and others were escorted to Beijing, he issued a decree that the chief judge of Ming Dynasty should be the chief judge, and the jury of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Metropolitan Procuratorate, Jinyiwei and Dongchang should be judged in public. The crime of cooperating with captives.

This kind of standard is probably the highest in history. Not only is the presiding judge the chief assistant, but the people being interrogated include high-ranking officials such as the governor of Xuanfu, generals above the garrison and below the deputy general, and even local gentry, that is, those who were promoted to the Jin Dynasty. business.The scale is huge and the number of people is large. If you count the family members, it has caught up with the big cases in the early Ming Dynasty.Because of this, this case of Tonglu was rated as the most serious case of the Chongzhen Dynasty by later generations.

It's also funny to say, if You Shiwei, the former chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion, hadn't been tricked when he was King Qin, and the soldiers he led hadn't collapsed, and he continued to serve as the chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion, he would probably have been with these people.

Because it is a public trial, the people are allowed to attend.As soon as the news came out, there were people queuing up at the gate of the yamen.It just didn't take long for the line to line up so that the end of the line could not be seen.Those who came late wanted to jump in the queue, which caused riots, and finally forced the government to send yamen servants to maintain order.

Therefore, in order to see Fan Yongdou and others being tried with their own eyes, those wealthy people in the capital began to throw money at the people in front of the queue. well-off.

Hu Guang wanted to watch such a lively event, but he had no choice but to let it go due to his status.But he will be busy soon, because Min Hongxue, the candidate for assistant minister who came from Jiangnan and recommended by Wen Tiren, has finally arrived in the capital.

In the Wenhua Hall, Hu Guang looked at Min Hongxue who was attending the ceremony.To say that he expected the most from Wen Tiren's recommended ministers, this is the one in front of him.The implementation of military and political policies, road construction, currency reform, school promotion, counter-insurgency and other measures are all in line with Hu Guang's views.

Judging from his appearance, this old man should have been a handsome guy when he was young, with a bookish look, but he looked capable, with a loud voice and a good spirit!
While seeing the ceremony, Min Hongxue was also sizing up the young emperor.To be honest, at the beginning, he was disappointed when he heard that Emperor Chongzhen almost completely believed in the Donglin Party, attacked the Eunuch Party unreservedly, filled all vacancies, or directly promoted Donglin Party members.For this reason, he returned home due to illness in the early years of Chongzhen.

What he didn't expect was that after Jianlu invaded Gyeonggi, Emperor Chongzhen seemed to have changed his person. Just to kill Jianlu under the capital city.All these things made him see the hope of the court.

However, Min Hongxue believes that the nature of the country is difficult to change, and he is a little worried that Emperor Chongzhen has only changed slightly under the pressure of the crisis.Therefore, even though he wanted to come to the capital to have a look after Hu Zhengyan delivered the decree, he still took it easy in order to have more time to observe.

What he didn't expect was that Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be a different person, and his subsequent behavior kept surprising him.He even bought new banknotes at a high price while he was on the road, and studied them carefully.

As a person who led troops to suppress rebellion, he also knew better that Emperor Chongzhen's sacrifice of Zhonglietang would pay a lot for little effort.This matter, in the current situation of Daming, is simply a stroke of genius, and it can solve many problems at once.

As a fellow villager, Min Hongxue also understood Wen Tiren, and knew that it would definitely not be the strategy offered by the first assistant.He also couldn't think of anyone in the court who could have such vision and offer such a move.But these are not important. The important thing is that the emperor adopted it and attached great importance to it.

When he arrived in the capital, he happened to encounter the Shanxi merchants. After a little inquiring, he understood the cause and effect of the incident, and immediately looked at Emperor Chongzhen with admiration.In this way, not only cut off the eyes, eyes, hands and feet of Jianlu, but also fill the treasury, which is really killing two birds with one stone.At this time, he saw the hope of pacifying Liaodong!
At this time, Min Hongxue looked at the young Emperor Chongzhen, becoming more and more surprised.The emperor has a confident and calm temperament, which he has never seen in Emperor Tianqi.Such an emperor must really be the master of Ming ZTE!

He was thinking about it when Hu Guang said with a smile: "I heard that the first minister said that Min Qing is a great talent in our Ming Dynasty. I don't know what you think of these recent moves by the court?"

When he said that, firstly, he felt that he had done a good job recently, and he was a little bit complacent; secondly, he also started the interview, and wanted to hear Min Hongxue's opinion and see how he said it?

To Hu Guang's surprise, after hearing this, Min Hongxue played with a serious face: "Your Majesty, the court has made some moves, which are a bit of a joke, and it is taken for granted!"
