Chongzhen Chat Group

After hearing this, Hu Guang's heart moved and he immediately asked: "How do you say this?"

"Your Majesty, I have been with Jianlu for many years. The reason why Jianlu has grown so far is largely due to the Shanxi merchants. Without them selling grain, grass, ordnance, and military information to Jianlu, Jianlu would never be what it is today." Liu Xingzuo said this. , hesitated for a moment, and then said immediately, "And the general can conclude that Shanxi merchants definitely played a role in the Jianlu invasion of the capital this time!"

Or he wanted to repay the emperor's kindness. Liu Xingzuo did not have any scruples at this time and said whatever he thought of: "The last general is worried that King Qin's army has been transferred away from the capital. When Jianlu attacks the capital, the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce will cause trouble in the capital city. In case he and Jianlu The inside should be coordinated with the outside, then..."

He didn't dare to tell the possible outcome, and his tone suddenly became firmer, and he suggested again: "General, I would like to ask your Majesty again to take those Shanxi merchants into custody first as a precaution."

"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you!" Wen Tiren suddenly interrupted.

When Hu Guang heard this, he was a little speechless and said: "Wen Qing, this is not a court meeting, there is no harm in saying what you have to say!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wen Tiren agreed and then said, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Shanxi merchants who are able to gain a foothold in the capital have people behind them. If there is no substantial evidence of guilt, I am afraid there will be a strong backlash. In this situation now , it’s better to be cautious!”

After hearing this, Hu Guang was silent for a while, and then said firmly: "I have heard about the Shanxi merchants for a long time. I don't care how many people are involved behind these kind of profiteers who cheat the country and seek glory. People will also bring them to justice.”

"As for the capital, I have other plans tonight, so don't worry about it for now." After Hu Guang said a little, he called by name: "Liu Qing?"

"The general is here!" Liu Xingzuo immediately responded solemnly.

"Please sort out the affairs of Shanxi merchants carefully. The more detailed and comprehensive the better!" Hu Guang said with a bit of hatred at the end, "When the Jianlu incident comes, I will settle the accounts together!"

In the past, Liu Xingzuo would never have dared to tell what he knew. Because he knew that there were such huge interests, there must be many people from the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty standing behind the Shanxi merchants. If he dared to open his mouth, the whole family would definitely die without a burial place.

But it was different now. He immediately responded without hesitation: "I will obey your orders!"

Wen Tiren was a little awe-struck when he heard this. He could predict that there would definitely be a violent storm in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom. He didn't know how many people would lose their jobs, and how many people would confiscate their homes and exterminate their families.

However, these are all deserved. Wen Tiren thought about it and began to make calculations in his mind. He understood that this matter was no small matter. He would definitely be the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty by then, and he would have to check and fill the vacancies for the emperor and do this well.

After Hu Guang arranged this matter, he suddenly found that Liu Wang, who had always been an invisible man in the elementary group, was talking, so he switched over with a little curiosity.

As soon as Wen Tiren saw that the icon of Pursuing All Beings turned gray, he already knew that Hu Guang was not there, and immediately said: "Vice General Liu, His Majesty is no longer in the working group. The affairs of Shanxi merchants are of great concern. You must act with caution and do not tell anyone in advance." Reveal, do you understand?"

"I understand!" Of course Liu Xingzuo knew how powerful he was. After answering solemnly, he withdrew from the chat group.

As soon as he exited, he was stunned and asked a little puzzled: "What are you doing?"

"Brother, you are a thief. If you don't keep me here, I will keep you. We are no longer the officials of the Ming Dynasty. Whoever wants to be can be..."

Before Liu Xingxian finished speaking, he heard a "pop" sound. He immediately covered his face, looked at Liu Xingzuo with some confusion and said, "Brother, why did you hit me?"

"The emperor's kindness is so great that I can't repay it without death!" Liu Xingzuo said seriously, "You can't say this nonsense again in the future. No, you don't even have to think about it. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Liu Xingxian covered his face and nodded, but he still looked confused, "Brother, why are you crying? Isn't it because those birdmen...those people are unfair to us?"

"What's unfair?" Liu Xingzuo was stunned for a moment, then he touched his cheek, and then he noticed there were tears, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. But then he said seriously, "Those are just tests from God to our brothers. Now that all the hardships have come to an end, it's time for me and my brothers to show their ambitions!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xingxian was dumbfounded and immediately shook his head and said: "Brother, have you been possessed? How can we have no one in the court, so how can we have all the hardships?"

"Haha, there is no one in the court?" Liu Xingzuo couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "We have people in the court, more people than anyone else, haha..."

Liu Xingxian stretched out his hand after hearing this, and even wanted to touch his brother's forehead. But just at this moment, the gathering drum sounded "dong dong dong". The two brothers did not dare to neglect and hurriedly went to report.

Just like before, the generals who were passing by in a hurry, whether they were direct descendants of Guan Ning or not, seemed unable to see the two brothers, and even turned a blind eye to their greetings.

As Liu Xingxian hurried on his way, he smiled bitterly at his brother and said, "Look, there's no one up there, that's it!"

Liu Xingzuo didn't care at all, he just smiled slightly, as if he was being looked down upon and ignored, and then just went on his way. This made his brother feel depressed again. He felt that his brother had been acting weird since the afternoon.

All the generals gathered together. Sun Chengzong, the young master and the crown prince's Grand Master of the Ministry of War, the Grand Scholar of Jidian, who was in charge of the troops, horses, money and food, came to the hall and took his seat. After the generals greeted him, he glanced down and said solemnly: "You should be aware of His Majesty's plan. In order to coordinate with the capital, the matter of cutting off the captives' return must be implemented as soon as possible."

After the opening remarks, Sun Chengzong stated the purpose of this gathering: "Now the situation between us and the enemy in Gyeonggi is complicated. In order to know ourselves and the enemy, and to communicate with Premier Ma's headquarters in the northwest, I need to send a general to the northwest and check the enemy's situation. You guys. Who wants to go?"

Going northwest from Shanhaiguan, you have to pass the Jianlu entrance and exit road. I don't know how strong the Jianlu troops are, but thinking about it, it should be very dangerous. This kind of work is hard and thankless, and if you are not careful, you may lose your life.

But as soon as Sun Chengzong's voice fell, Zu Dashou immediately stepped out of the queue and clasped his fists in response: "I will go there in the end!"

"Good steel is used on the blade!" Sun Chengzong immediately shook his head, "Stay back!"

"I will obey your orders!" Zu Dashou responded and returned.

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but look at him sideways when they saw him. They did not expect that Zu Dashou would be so positive, uncharacteristically.

In fact, they didn't know that one of the main purposes of Sun Chengzong's holding of this military meeting was to allow Zu Dashou to perform well. Even if Zu Dashou's military exploits were insufficient after the war, he could still be guaranteed a guarantee.

Zu Dashou can't go, which actually means that Guan Ning and his family can't go because they have to use it on the blade. The only other generals were Zhu Mei, the former commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, and the Liu brothers.

Zhu Mei frowned. He didn't want to accept this military order. His heart moved and he immediately said: "The general recommends someone who will be able to easily complete the old military order!"
