Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Wen Tiren's urging caused Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan to make a major misjudgment.Of course they don't know that so many things are happening in the court, they think this is what Emperor Chongzhen thinks.

At that time, Emperor Chongzhen was indeed bewitched by Wen Tiren, and issued an edict to let Wu Shigong come to Beijing to face the saint.But for Emperor Chongzhen, who had a lot of things to do every day, this was a trivial matter, and he immediately put it behind him.

We can imagine, if Wu Shigong enters Beijing, how will Emperor Chongzhen deal with him?The biggest possibility is to delay seeing him, let Wu Shigong stay in the capital for a long time, and only think of this general by accident when the situation changes.Of course, it is also possible that Emperor Chongzhen summoned him immediately and transferred Wu Shigong's Runing Army to Shaanxi or Liaodong to directly fight against the Peasant Army or the Qing Army.

But no matter which option he chooses, Wu Shigong will definitely not be in danger of his life.After all, Wu Shigong did not commit any heinous crimes, and the noble group is not vegetarian, so the final result is mostly a compromise.

In fact, Wen Tiren was the same, he didn't care about Wu Shigong's life or death at all.For him, how to prove that Wu Shigong is a military officer of the Donglin Party?That was his main concern.

As for Qi Zheng's revenge?That mainly depends on Qi Zheng's energy. Wen Tiren doesn't mind helping out a little in this matter, but let Wen Tiren go into battle shirtless regardless of everything?That would underestimate the political wisdom of this politician too.

So Wen Tiren used the word "nong" instead of "catch", let alone "kill".It was to remind Xu Meng that they must get Wu Shigong to the capital as soon as possible, whether they were coercing or coaxing them.

And before leaving Beijing, Wen Tiren visited Xu Mengqi and Jin Yiwei Commander Luo Yang to stay for a while.Of course, Wen Tiren also misinterpreted Emperor Chongzhen's intentions.That's why Luo Yangxing sent Hu Kan and nearly a hundred Jin Yiwei.

That's all right, but Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan's understanding also had problems.As a veteran who has been in the political arena for many years, Wen Tiren's speech is of course half-sentenced, and he can't say anything deadly.Therefore, the meaning of his words must be understood by the listener.But Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan had a painful realization.

Xu Mengqi is completely new to the officialdom, but Hu Kan only understood this secret mission through Luo Yangxing. Of course, Luo Yangxing is also a half-spoken person, so what Hu Kan listened to was even more discounted.So the understanding of the two of them is: "We can use any means to get Wu Shigong back to the capital!"

To make matters worse, after Wen Tiren sent the urgent letter, Xu Mengqi thought that the order would be upgraded again.Now it is: "Get Wu Shigong back to the capital at all costs." Seeing this, you can understand how big the deviation between Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan's secret mission and Emperor Chongzhen's original intention is.

However, it can also be seen that Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan have no understanding of government affairs at all.Needless to say, Xu Mengqi entered the Imperial Academy after being a Jinshi, but Hu Kan's vision is to know the factions and struggles of some officials.Both of them are people who don't know how to govern the country at all.

You know, if you want to arrest a leading general like Wu Shigong.That will definitely prevent the backlash of the Runing Army.Therefore, the imperial court will definitely arrange for the officers and soldiers around the Runing Army to take corresponding precautions.But neither Emperor Chongzhen nor Wen Tiren did that, which proves that they never thought of using violence against Wu Shigong.it is a pity that.Neither Xu Mengqi nor Hu Kan understood this.

But the other way around.It is precisely because the imperial court did not take any action at all that the Runing Army was unaware, and Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan's actions caught Wu Shigong and the Runing Army by surprise.

So the next discussion between Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan was really a bit... that's it.

Xu Mengqi asked: "Wu Runing has been complaining about illness, did he see some clues?"

Hu Kan shook his head and replied: "Nothing! Runing is normal, and the sons and daughters are also free to move. There is no outsider following and questioning, Wu Runing should really be sick. I also heard that Wu Runing has been sick at home for more than half a year this year. .”

"What does Runing say? Is there any crime?" Xu Mengqi asked again.Of course he didn't dare to ask those local officials in Runing directly, so he arranged this matter to the Jinyiwei system.

"The villain is afraid of people's hearts. So I didn't dare to ask in detail. But Wu Runing is really rampant here, there is no doubt about the robbery of the princess, and the princess often shows her face in the city. Even the subordinates of the villain also see I have been there several times. Also, I heard that Wu Runing has a deep collusion with King Chong." Hu Kan replied.

In the city of Runing Prefecture, there is also a small team of Henan Jinyiwei Thousand Household Office personnel, but their main task is to monitor Chong Wang's every move.But this time, Hu Kan also secretly asked them about the situation of Wu Shigong and the Runing Army.

But this is also the norm.The Jin Yiwei who left Beijing went to the local area to ask the local Jin Yiwei about the situation of the vassal king and officials.But Hu Kan's caution is also very reasonable.Because of the relationship between Wu Shigong and Li Pengfei, most of the Jinyiwei sent to Runing Mansion were bought by the Runing Army, so once Hu Kan showed his feet, he would definitely pass on this secret mission to Wu Shigong's ears.Therefore, Hu Kan mainly arranged for his subordinates to collect Wu Shigong's crimes on the streets of Fucheng.

"Is there any evidence?" Xu Mengqi's eyes lit up when he heard Hu Kan's words.This is a good article!Donglin party members formed a party of civil and military affairs, and now even the vassal princes have colluded with each other. Isn't that self-defeating?

"What evidence do you need? Ru Ning has spread all over the streets, saying that King Chong made a lot of money from Wu Runing." Hu Kan replied.

Seeing the prosperity of the stock exchange and the futures exchange, even Chong Wang couldn't help joining this capital game.Therefore, everyone has a tendency to speculate hidden in their hearts.

Also for the sake of publicity, the stock exchange and the futures exchange opened the door for King Chong and made a lot of publicity, so the streets and alleys of Fucheng spread all over the place: "Wang Chong is doing business in the stock exchange and futures, and he has made a lot of money." There’s a lot of money, so let’s go there quickly!” and other rumors.

In fact, this is just a normal commercial promotion of the stock exchange and futures exchange, but at this time, Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan gave this matter a very strong political color.

"I didn't expect Wu Runing to be so bold and reckless." Xu Mengqi said indignantly, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face, "Then Hu Qianhu and this official will figure it out, how to lock Wu Runing?"

"My lord!" Hu Kan still maintained his respect in front of Xu Mengqi, he bowed and said, "These days, the villain has been thinking over and over again, and found that if he wants to lock Wu Runing, there are only three ways." (To be continued.. )
