Chongzhen Chat Group

When Liu Xingzuo saw that Emperor Chongzhen was silent after reading the memorial, he became a little anxious. He can be said to be the absolute beneficiary of this Liaodong War. His family was rescued and given high honors. Whoever attacks the Liaodong war must not sit back and ignore it.

After waiting for a while, Emperor Chongzhen didn't say anything, so he cupped his fists again and said: "Your Majesty, please give me the driving post to take the person!"

Emperor Chongzhen heard this, looked up and asked him: "Even if I grant you a driving certificate, based on these rumors, the criminal department may not be able to pass the matter."

As soon as Liu Xingzuo heard this, he knew that Emperor Chongzhen did not intend to force him to do it. Otherwise, with the strength of the factory guards, even if they take it directly, what can those civil servants do to him! But it is too difficult for those who spread such rumors to rely on real evidence, especially now that they have spread in the capital. We can't arrest everyone who talks about and attacks the Liaodong war and high-ranking officials of the imperial court, right?

If you can’t do it forcefully, it will be difficult!

Liu Xingzuo was thinking this, and suddenly found that Emperor Chongzhen didn't seem angry, and he didn't look very angry. Based on his understanding, could the Emperor have a solution?

Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen had already sorted out his thoughts and said: "I think the real intention of those spreading rumors is to use the war in Liaodong to attack my chief minister and his ministers in Shanxi. Haha, After all, many people are afraid that Mr. Xue Ge is collecting back taxes in Shanxi. It should not only be the local squires in Shanxi, but also the squires in other places. They are also afraid of being asked to pay back taxes, so they unite to stop this matter. "

In Shanxi, Xue Guoguan's official position was high enough, and the recovery of back taxes was a matter within the law. In addition, he had a large number of troops, and Zhang Xianzhong, a former bandit, could command the army. It can be said that no one could resist him head-on. So here comes the negative one.

If the original Emperor Chongzhen had been manipulated like this by them, he might have been persuaded. But today's Emperor Chongzhen is not so easy to fool. There is also a chat group that can instantly obtain information about Shanxi. It is not easy to fool him.

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. It is the squires from all over the country who owe the most money today!" Liu Xingzuo immediately agreed after hearing this.

Not to mention that in his position as commander of the Imperial Guard, he has access to more information. Even if he was not in this position, he already knew this before the rebels in Liaodong rebelled. It can be said that after several hundred years of development in the Ming Dynasty, most of the land was slowly concentrated in the hands of the gentry, and then they found ways to avoid taxes and even found various reasons to default on tax arrears.

And when officials are given gifts, either for reputation or because they are afraid of being manipulated by the local gentry, they just deal with it if they can. After all, being an official in a place only lasts for many years. Then, if you delay, you will encounter some major National Day event and forgive the arrears. As a result, people who normally pay taxes felt disadvantaged when they saw this, and joined the ranks of those who defaulted on their taxes.

This situation becomes more and more common over time. Only those civilians with little power and background could not afford to default on taxes. Even the taxes owed by the local gentry would be transferred to them so that local officials could pay their dues, causing the civilians to go bankrupt and become tenants.

Hearing Liu Xingzuo's affirmation, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "Rather than suppressing the rumors or explaining them, the effect will not be good..."

Liu Xingzuo nodded after hearing this. Those people's tricks were indeed very poisonous. Even if it's a good thing, if you explain it, he can refute it to you. And if you forcibly suppress it and prevent people from discussing it, you will be attacked by them because you have evil intentions, and even if you are reasonable, you will become unreasonable.

"Let's do this, you send some people to spread the news, completely confuse the public opinion in the capital, and guide it in the direction I want!" Emperor Chongzhen immediately ordered.

When Liu Xingzuo heard this, he knew that the emperor really had a solution. He immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order and said: "The general will obey the order. I don't know which direction to guide!"

"Just follow their wishes and make their remarks more intense..." When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he found that Liu Xingzuo was a little stunned and showed a puzzled look, so he went on to elaborate, "Let's talk about the battle of the imperial army. The strength is indeed not good, very bad. When fighting against the enemies of the Ming Dynasty, they often lose the battle. With an army like this, how can we pay military wages! What's the use of Mr. Xue Ge's pursuit of arrears, and it disturbs the local people's livelihood! "

When Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, Liu Xingzuo looked incredulous, confused, and stuttered slightly: "Your Majesty, this... In this case, the pressure on the chief minister and Xue Gechen will be very great, and it may attract more people's attention. Impeachment, they are afraid that they will be unable to withstand the pressure and resign. This...isn't this fulfilling those people's wishes?"

"Haha, it doesn't matter, Liu Qing will do what I want." Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said, "I want to see if the situation develops in the direction they want, who will jump out to cause trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xingzuo thought he understood Emperor Chongzhen's intention, and couldn't help but feel a little worried. He had to remind him: "Your Majesty, although you can know who is causing trouble, once it reaches such a situation, you will be worried...worry that the situation will... Out of control, three people become tigers, and the chief assistant and Mr. Xue Ge are unable to do anything!"

"Haha!" Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "It's okay, I will find a way to break the situation when the time comes!"

"..." Liu Xingzuo was speechless. If it really came to that situation, it would be useless to explain or seal the situation. Is there any other way to break the situation?

Seeing the unbelieving look on his face, Emperor Chongzhen thought for a moment and felt that if he didn't tell Liu Xingzuo, he would not be able to do things with his heart, so he smiled and said: "Perhaps Liu Qing doesn't know, at this time Yansui The governor has won a great victory in the grassland war and should be able to annihilate Lin Dan Khan's troops. The territory of our Ming Dynasty will extend to the grassland, and the Hetao will belong to my Ming Dynasty!"

If we talk about the previous war in Liaodong, those with ulterior motives would complain; then this grassland war was a great achievement in opening up territory and expanding the territory, and it was a great military achievement to worship the Ancestral Temple. This ironclad fact will be the most powerful weapon against those rumors.

At this time, there was a war to be fought in the grassland, but only a few people in Qin and Jin knew about it, and the great victory in Guihua City was still in progress. Except for a few parties in the chat group, others including Liu Xingzuo were unaware of the situation.

That's why Emperor Chongzhen came up with this strategy. Let them be more crazy, make their slander more shameless, and finally slap them in the face with the power of opening up and expanding their territory, and the rumors will be self-defeating!

It's a pity that the recommendation votes are a bit weak. It hasn't reached 400 yet. This extra update will be given to all orders. It should be considered stable at 800+. It's not easy. There has been basically no recommendation for more than two months. The high-end orders are slowly increasing, but The average price has been rising and falling around 800. Thank you all for your support, and special thanks to all my booklist friends and news!
