I defeated Emperor Chongzhen at the beginning!

Chapter 32 Did you hear what they said?
"Master Helian? Why are you here?"

Lan Ying's tone was not very kind, and it didn't give him a good face.After speaking, he frowned and looked at Zhang Xu, with a bit of blame in his eyes.

He is not the kind of person who acts without principles. Although he is also greedy for life and afraid of death, he has never thought of betraying his family and country.

"Master Zhang Xu invited me here. We have already communicated on how to attack Daming."

"what?"

Li Tong also frowned. He stood up from his seat and asked Zhang Xu directly: "Brother Zhang, you are so confused!"

Before Zhang Xu could answer, Helian's laughter reached everyone's ears first.

"My lord, what you said is so confused. Now your emperor wants to kill you, but each of you still wants to maintain the so-called imperial power. Isn't this stupid?"

"Presumptuous! My Ming Dynasty is something that you and other youngsters can defile!"

Lan Ying stared at Helian and said.

"Master Lan, I advise you to think carefully before speaking. I am not begging you now, but you are begging me!"

"Okay, okay, let's calm down first."

Li Tong was able to hold his mind more steadily than Lan Ying. He stood up and held Lan Ying back, lest the situation develop to an irreversible point.

Holding Lan Ying steady, Li Tong looked at Zhang Xu who was at the side, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Zhang, what do you mean by that?"

Zhang Xu made eye contact with Helian, Helian nodded and turned to leave first.

"What I mean is very simple, as long as the Ming Dynasty is destroyed, and as long as the Houjin ascends to the throne, the status of our family will only be higher!
Either climb up or fall into the abyss, don't you two understand how to choose? "

"But this is treason! This kind of behavior is only Xiaoxiao's! We should not be like this!"

The aristocratic family has survived to this day, so it has its own strength of character!
But Zhang Xu's intentions are firm, and what he wants to do will be achieved by his means.

"You survive first and then talk about your country!"

Zhang Xu knew that these two people were very stubborn, but he didn't expect that if they were so stubborn, he could only use his trump card.

"To be honest, no matter whether the two of you are willing to cooperate or not, you are already on the boat and cannot get off."

"What do you mean?"

Li Tong looked at Zhang Xu vigilantly.

"A few days ago, a group of dead soldiers attacked our soldiers stationed in the south of Liaodong, and more than half of them were shot and killed by our army's function. You think there are so many dead soldiers in Daming, who would it be? What do you think about this matter?"

Lan Ying and Li Tong heard more and more something was wrong. It seemed that they had really boarded a pirate ship.

"You want to frame us!"

"How can this be a frame-up? I just transferred some of your dead soldiers, not many. They each transferred a thousand, which is not difficult for the Lan and Li families."

"You actually dispatched our dead soldiers to attack the army? You are crazy!"

Facing the scolding, Zhang Xu didn't show any fear.

"I'm crazy, but I don't regret it."

……

Weiyang Palace.

Hong Chengchou, commander of Jinyiwei, met with him.

"Your Majesty, I have basically investigated the dead soldiers in Liaodong that you sent me to investigate last time!"

"Tell me, let me open my eyes. How many people were involved in the death of the soldiers?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Zhang, Lan, and Li families are all involved!"

"Three aristocratic families can easily come up with five thousand dead soldiers. If they want to fight in the future and form an army with all the dead soldiers in the house and use them to rebel, it will definitely be a terrifying force.

It really opened my eyes, and I continued to read. "

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I also found out that the Zhang family has sent 3000 dead soldiers to the border of Liaodong, and they are hiding in the Li family's private house in the east of the city!"

"Ok?"

Zhu Youjian was stunned and chuckled: "It turns out that apart from the Zhang family, the other two aristocratic families still have doubts. If not, the Zhang family would not be the only one who sent so many dead soldiers."

"Your Majesty means that the Lan and Li families will not rebel?"

Zhu Youjian shook his head and said, "No, Zhang Xu has plenty of ways to make these two families obey. What about the Liu family? Is there any movement from the Liu family?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Liu family has not sent any dead soldiers, and there has been no change in recent days."

"Did they not find out, or were they really not involved?"

Zhu Youjian doesn't want to be careless, and he will definitely not let go of the family who have different ideas!

"Forget it, the Liu family will leave it alone for now. Tell me about your situation in Liaodong."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are three thousand dead men in Wuling County, Liaodong, all pretending to be businessmen.

There were six thousand dead people in Xianjing County, Liaodong, half of them became ordinary people, and half of them sneaked into expensive private houses.

There are [-] dead men in Duqi County, Liaodong, among them..."

Zhu Youjian pressed his temples with some headaches to drive away the drowsiness on his body, and then continued to ask: "What about those aristocratic families other than the imperial city? How many of them are at the mercy of the Zhang family?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are currently 230 seven families in the country, large and small, who are at the mercy of the Zhang family and may rebel at any time!"

Hong Chengchou summarized.

These aristocratic families add up to close to 60 people, excluding the dead soldiers and guards. If these people really unite with Hou Jin and work together from inside to outside, will the palace really be able to withstand such a blow?
"Good strength."

Zhu Youjian's murderous intention became more and more determined, but he remained calm and said: "Apart from this, have you investigated anything else? Is there any other means in the world?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is nothing else. However, yesterday the Zhang family made an appointment with the Lan and Li families at the underground reading office, and Helian also went."

"Did you hear what they said?"

Hong Chengchou shook his head in disappointment.

"Reporting to your majesty, I haven't heard anything. They are heavily guarded there and I can't get close, so I can't hear the specific content of their conversation."

It was about imperial power and family, he didn't dare to guess at will.If he is not very sure about some words, he will not say them.

If you say something wrong, you will lose your head.

"After that meeting between Li Tong and Lan Ying, is there anything unusual about their behavior?"

"Lan Ying's face was full of resentment, and Li Tong's face was full of worry. They all looked towards the direction of the palace from time to time, and then chattered nonsense. As for what they said, I didn't hear clearly."

"During that period of time, in addition to rebellion, they should have discussed which new emperor they would support to take the throne, for the sake of justice. Is this throne someone from their family, or Nurhachi's?"

"I don't know!"

"Still staring at the direction of the imperial palace from time to time, they are not staring at the imperial palace, they are clearly staring at my throne!"

"Continue to watch them for me. If they make any move to leave the imperial city, stop them immediately and report them immediately!"

Today, I'm afraid it will be cloudy for a while!
