Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 373 They are forcing me, then kill!

At that time, Dongnuan Pavilion was completely silent.

Emperor Chongzhen's expression was cold, looking at the secret performance on the dragon case, his sword eyebrows turned upside down, but he was thinking in his heart how to deal with the civil disturbances in Shanxi.

Wang Chengen's face was worried, and he was very worried when he saw that his emperor was silent.

At present, the resettlement of the refugees from Shanxi and Shanxi has not been thoroughly sorted out. The situation in the Gyeonggi area is the same, and now there is another civil disturbance in Shanxi. What should I do?

Under Wang Chengen's watchful eye, Emperor Chongzhen moved, picked up a secret play, and began to read it.

"Mao Chenglu, the commander of the Wuxiang Zuowei, said: I was ordered to go to Jin with the imperial envoy Li Shufu. The Wuxiang Zuowei under the command was under the rule of Taiyuan Prefecture, and assisted Liu Hongxun, the Minister of the Military Aircraft Department. He was responsible for examining corrupt officials in the prefectures and counties. According to His Majesty's secret decree, to recruit Yongzhuang under the rule of Taiyuan Mansion..."

The secret report submitted by Mao Chenglu explained in detail what he did under the rule of Taiyuan Mansion after he went to Shanxi. The Wuxiang Zuowei he led also recruited two thousand brave men during the period of controlling Taiyuan Mansion. Everything was stable at the beginning However, when the Duliang Road and Fen Xun Road in Shanxi were traced, the situation changed completely.

Perhaps Liu Hongxun's investigation in Taiyuan, Datong and other places was so strict that many local officials fell into panic.

Faced with such a situation, although Liu Hongxun said he would suspend the censorship, the arrest of Duliangdao in Shanxi has caused many local officials to worry.

Looking at the secret memorial presented by Mao Chenglu, Emperor Chongzhen frowned. In his opinion, although what Liu Hongxun did was a little more powerful, there was no problem at all.

After all, I condemned and sent Li Banghua to Shanxi to investigate corruption cases, just to catch corrupt officials so that the situation under Shanxi's rule can be stabilized and Shanxi will not continue to be corrupted.

In the third year of Chongzhen, a group of rogue forces that ravaged Shanshan and Shaanxi will aggressively invade Shanxi. If they can't get ahead of them and rectify Shanxi, once there are more rogue forces rushing in, Shanxi will still be a mess.

"Kong Youde, the commander of the Wuxiang right guard, said: Since I led the Wuxiang right guard and accompanied Li Shufu to Jin, I have been in charge of the Datong mansion. According to your majesty's secret edict, I have recruited three thousand brave men under the Datong mansion to assist the military aircraft department. Minister Liu Hongxun, in charge of..."

Putting down the melody presented by Mao Chenglu and picking up the melody presented by Kong Youde, Emperor Chongzhen continued to read the melody with his sword eyebrows upside down, with a dignified expression.

Wang Chengen: "..."

Seeing that the angry look on his prince's face became more and more serious, Wang Chengen knew that the civil unrest in Shanxi might be more serious than he expected.

Eventful season!

What an eventful year.

Could it be that the officialdom in Shanxi has been completely corrupted?

"Geng Zhongming, the commander of Tengxiang Zuowei, said: "I..."

"The commander of the right guard of Tengxiang Shang Kexi said: "I..."

While Wang Chengen was pondering in his mind, Emperor Chongzhen, who suppressed his anger, flipped through the sealed melodies, and he purposely kept the melodies presented by Li Banghua until the end.

Through the secret memorials submitted by Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi, Emperor Chongzhen could clearly understand what the situation in the prefectures and counties of Shanxi was like.

The scope of civil unrest in Shanxi is clearly defined in Datong, Taiyuan, Fenzhou, Pingyangfu and other places.

The above-mentioned places all have similar characteristics, either adjacent to the border town fortress, or adjacent to Shaanxi where rogues are rampant.

On the contrary, Liaozhou, Lu'an Mansion and other places next to Beizhili did not cause so-called civil unrest.

However, Liaozhou, Lu'an Mansion and other places drove all the refugees under their rule towards Zhending Mansion and Baoding Mansion.

'The civil unrest in Shanxi was caused by a spontaneous self-rescue behavior. '

Throwing down the memorial that he was holding, Emperor Chongzhen frowned, thinking secretly:

'Shanxi's officialdom is not completely corrupted, but at least half of the local officials are problematic.

Or participate in the smuggling of the eight thieves, or participate in the interception of money and food allocated by the imperial court, or drive up food prices with local gentry and landlords under the rule.

This is really taking Daming as a victim, grabbing the vitality of Daming without any scruples, and doing things for personal gain by using power. I am afraid that the situation in other places in Daming will be similar. '

Only through Mao Chenglu and his group's secret melodies, Emperor Chongzhen keenly discovered that in various places under the rule of Ming Dynasty, gentry, large and small landlords and other groups controlled a large amount of production materials, or colluded with officials, or relied on their own background, or Taking advantage of the disaster, they ignored the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty and exploited the overwhelmed people at the bottom.

"Li Banghua, the left servant of the Ministry of War, said: I have received an imperial edict and then went to Jindi, and brought a group of imperial envoys from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to inspect the prefectures and counties under Shanxi. The Jin Fan of Taiyuan, all signs show that it is inextricably linked with the eight thieves who were originally arrested..."

With all kinds of considerations in mind, Emperor Chongzhen picked up Li Banghua's secret performance and began to read it, but the content in it was far more serious than he thought.

Jin Fan actually participated in it.

Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about this before. No matter how business-savvy the group of guys headed by Fan Yongdou were, they dared to take the risk of beheading and secretly engage in smuggling and collaborating with the enemy in Zhangjiakou.

However, Fan Yongdou's traitors have no previous background, how did they bribe local officials, including those generals and guards.

As for those officials in Ming Dynasty, they all despised merchants from the bottom of their hearts. Even if it was Fan Yongdou who took money to open the way, it must be a difficult thing to achieve their premeditated plan in the early stage.

If the things I did at the beginning were not done well, there would be a greater risk of people noticing something, and such smuggling and collaborating with the enemy would have a great risk of being leaked out.

"Yeah! That's great!"

Emperor Chongzhen closed the memorandum in his hand, with a cold light in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said: "Everyone is forcing me, eating the imperial rations of the Ming Dynasty, holding the salary of the Ming Dynasty, but the things that can be done are all harming the country and society of the Ming Dynasty matter.

Especially the lineage of the Jin Dynasty, as a descendant of the Ming Dynasty, who was sealed by the Taizu Emperor Gao, should have shared the country's worries, but unexpectedly betrayed the Ming Dynasty.

What a filial son and virtuous grandson of Huang Ming! ! "

"!!!"

Wang Chengen's face changed slightly, and he looked at his prince with suspicion. The civil unrest in Shanxi, even the Jin clan of Taiyuan, actually participated in it?

"Everyone is forcing me, then kill!"

Emperor Chongzhen said indifferently: "Wang Banban, go and summon all the ministers from the Military Aircraft Department. I want to convey my message on the civil unrest in Shanxi."

"Here!"

Wang Chengen didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately bowed in salute, and then hurriedly left Dongnuan Pavilion, heading towards the Hall of Martial Arts.
