Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

After a few days of panic, respectable officials from Runing and Guide started to act. They sent letters one after another, advising Wu Shigong not to be impulsive and to keep calm.

Among them, Old Master Hou of Guide is the most representative. He wrote: It is estimated that this is the work of Wen Tiren, the chief assistant. It is just that his act of eradicating the world's virtuous people is the last time Wu Shigong retaliated for Hou Xun's solidarity. blinded.

Old Master Hou also guessed what Wen Tiren was thinking: Wen Tiren wanted to arrest or kill Wu Shigong.If it succeeds, it will be over; if it is not successful, Wu Shigong will be forced to rebel to achieve Wen Tiren's political goal of accusing the Donglin Party of rebelling, so Wu Shigong must not be fooled.

Needless to say, Mrs. Hou, as a former court official and one of the former leaders of the Donglin Party, did have a deep understanding of the court situation, so his guesses were basically correct.

Old Master Hou also said: Let Wu Shigong calm down a bit, and wait until Old Master Hou goes to the capital to unite a group of virtuous people to intercede for Wu Shigong.Also ask Wu Shigong not to hurt King Chong, imperial envoy Xu Mengqi and the officials of the Runing Mansion, otherwise, there will be no room for maneuver.

After Wu Shigong received these letters, he knew that the news of the assassination could not be concealed.That also loses the suddenness of preemptive strikes.Besides, it is indeed very difficult for him to send troops immediately, and basically all the civil and military subordinates are opposed, so Wu Shigong himself hesitated a little.

With the deepening of the interrogation, the inside story of the assassination was gradually revealed, and Wu Shigong basically grasped the ins and outs of the whole incident.But no matter what, he still didn't believe that this was the personal behavior of the imperial envoy Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan, and believed that Emperor Chongzhen had at least approved the arrest of himself.

However, the interrogation also had an unexpected harvest. Wu Shigong learned the inside story of the magistrate Gu Zhengqing's impeachment of himself.This made Wu Shigong angry!I gave so many benefits to the local gentry, but I didn't expect some people to be that white-eyed wolf.In a rage, Wu Shigong was ready to kill.

It was Deng Qifan and Zhang Zhiheng who persuaded him, saying: Runing and Guide are already worried about the assassination.If Wu Shigong kills those gentry again, the situation may become even more unstable.But under the current circumstances, it is still the top priority to ensure local tranquility! [

It was Fu Wenzhai, the director of the Propaganda Department, who made this bad breath for Wu Shigong.He publicized to the outside world that it was these sleazy guys who deceived the Holy Majesty, attracted the imperial envoys, attracted Wu Shigong's arrest, and caused the stocks and futures in the stock exchange and futures exchange to plummet.So these traitors from Runing and Guide were not raised by their parents, they were all beasts!It's a beast!

As soon as the news came out, the other officials and gentry were filled with righteous indignation.Basically, they all suffered heavy losses in this plunge. Is there any hatred that is better than silver?Therefore, those gentry who colluded with the prefect Gu Zhengqing immediately became street rats.Although Wu Shigong didn't act personally.But those gentry's future life must be worse than death.Unless they are willing to leave their hometowns, otherwise, they will be played to death by the Runing Army and other officials in the future.

However, this plunge is actually very beneficial to the healthy development of stock exchanges and futures exchanges.The speculative atmosphere of those businessmen in the stock exchange and futures exchange is too strong, making the bubble bigger and bigger.If not for this plunge.Sooner or later, there will be a day of collapse, so this plunge has made those businessmen see the risk.Taught them a lesson enough.

Even more satisfying.Those businessmen would not blame Runing Army for this plunge.They just used those gentry as scapegoats, so they also diverted the target for the Runing Army.

However, this lesson was also spread to Wu Shigong's inner house. In order to prepare more dowry for Xiaojie, Zhao Ruya secretly bought a lot of stocks, which made her suffer a heavy loss this time.

When Wu Shigong found out, he was really angry and funny.He could only comfort Zhao Ruya whose eyes were swollen from crying.Later, he also promised to use Wu Shigong's money to make up for Zhao Ruya's loss of her private house.

There is no need to elaborate on how Zhao Ruya thanked her with her body.When Wu Shigong's behavior spread to the ears of other wives, those wives also exploded.It turned out that they also bought some stocks more or less.

Wu Shigong simply took care of everything, and he promised to make up for the losses for all his wives.Anyway, it's useless for Wu Shigong to ask for money.It would be better to make the ladies happy.

In addition, Wu Shigong also told his wives to hold on to the stocks whose prices had plummeted, and ordered Li Xin to use all the money in the inner house to buy stocks.With the strong army of the Runing Army, Wu Shigong is quite confident in keeping the Runing Mansion safe, so he believes that the stock price will rise soon.Besides, in case of death, what is the use of the remaining money?

However, Fu Wenzhai, director of the Propaganda Department, is indeed very capable of seeing the needles.He made another interpretation of Wu Shigong's behavior: Wu Shigong used his private wealth to stabilize the market in order to reduce losses for local officials and gentry.As soon as the news came out, Wu Shigong gained another good reputation.

Of course, there are also people who make a fortune for the country.Except for the military industries such as Bian's Iron Works, Li Yuenu, the proprietress of Hollywood, is making a lot of money these days.In light of this apocalyptic panic, there is a long line of trousers-lifting men at the gates of Hollywood.The stock of Hollywood is not falling but rising.

In order to share her joy, Li Yuenu called Wu Shigong to her place of house arrest. She tried her best to keep Wu Shigong alive, and almost squeezed Wu Shigong dry.Of course, this kind is not reserved for Li Yuenu herself, but for the maidservants who serve her.Li Yuenu found a way to recruit some beautiful maids and sent them to his house. This is really a policy and a countermeasure!

Now Wu Shigong felt a little troublesome.He also knew that it was not good to hesitate like this, but the internal opinions of his Runing Army were not unified, which made it difficult to make up his mind to rebel immediately.Even Wu Shigong was looking forward to the imperial court's immediate action. With the same hatred and hatred, those civil and military personnel of the Runing Army would have no other choice.

So now Wu Shigong needs to solve the problem of communication with the imperial court, he can't wait to need a middleman, and as God follows his wishes, the middleman unexpectedly appeared immediately.

These days, Runing Army Supervisor Ye Zhong is not in Runing Mansion, he is busy with his village and mine in Ye County.Seeing his private wealth keep expanding, Ye Zhong really hoped that such days would never come to an end.But at this moment, the news of Wu Shigong's assassination came. [

Upon hearing the news, Ye Zhong's first reaction was to pack up his things and flee back to the capital.Others don't know the power of the Runing Army, but Ye Zhong knows it, and he definitely doesn't dare to stay longer in Ye County.

But after thinking about it, Ye Zhong realized that he had lost his way.If the arrest of Wu Shigong was really ordered by Emperor Chongzhen, then he must have committed a major dereliction of duty as the supervisor of the army. Even if Ye Zhong fled back to the capital, he would inevitably lose his head.And if the Runing army rebelled, what would he do if he fled to the capital?Is it to die?

Moreover, the relationship between Ye Zhong, the Runing Army and Wu Shigong himself is very good. Besides, Ye Zhong in Ye County knew the news, so the Runing Army in Ye County must have also got the news. They haven't come to the door until now, which means The Runing Army had no intention of arresting Ye Zhong.Since that was the case, why did Ye Zhong run away?

So Ye Zhong stayed behind closed doors and sent his own servants to scout for news.Going beyond the chaff to save the essence, Ye Zhong even analyzed the background of the assassination to the point of closeness.Anyway, no matter how the incident develops, Ye Zhong, the supervising army, can't escape, so in the end, Ye Zhong secretly made up his mind to go to Runing to persuade Wu Shigong.

Ye Zhong's arrival was not hindered by the Runing Army at all, even when he delivered the post to Wu Shigong's house, the butler Liu Yuan asked him to wait for a while and then greet him immediately.

But Ye Zhong didn't expect that there was another guest who got there first, and it was that Qing Chenzi.When Ye Zhong saw the immortal Qing Chenzi coming out at the gate, he was completely stunned. Could it be that Wu Shigong had the idea of ​​rebirth after he was assassinated?Want to become a monk to escape the court's censure?

"Measuring Buddha!" ​​Qing Chenzi grabbed Ye Zhong's hand.

Ye Zhong also woke up suddenly and saluted Qingchenzi: "The Taoist priest is polite!"

So when Ye Zhong saw Wu Shigong, he first said: "Your Excellency, you should cheer up. It's better not to encounter people from other places, and the imperial court will make great use of it! Miscellaneous people think that there must be a misunderstanding in the assassination of Your Excellency."

Wu Shigong smiled slightly, he knew Ye Zhong's words were insincere.I was arrested by the imperial envoy, so the Emperor Chongzhen and the court cannot get rid of the relationship.But regarding Qingchenzi's visit, Wu Shigong still has to explain: "Qingchenzi came here as a lobbyist for King Chong."

"What did he say?" Ye Zhong was of course very concerned about King Chong's movements.

"It's nothing! I just want to tighten the relationship between King Chong and this official." Wu Shigong replied lightly.

In fact, Wu Shigong betrayed King Chong.After King Chong's mansion was besieged, King Chong was indeed terrified.However, there is absolutely no shortage of ambitious people around King Chong. They analyzed it to King Chong: In case Wu Shigong rebelled, he always needed a name, and King Chong had great appeal as a member of the royal family.

With the strength of the Runing Army, maybe Chong Wang can ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Honor.Even being a puppet is much better than being a feudal lord in Runing.

So the words of those careerists moved King Chong, and Qing Chenzi volunteered to come to Wu Shigong to act as the lobbyist.

And Ye Zhong must have thought of Qingchenzi's intention, he immediately exclaimed: "My lord! You should think twice!" (to be continued...)
