I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 619 Backhand
Then Li Tian told the three of them the information that Zhuge Zheng had exchanged his life for it.

Jiang Bao and Wang Fu didn't react too much, but Huang Yan was so ashamed that he almost wanted to find a crack in the ground.

With such important information, I, the factory owner of the East Factory, didn't get wind of it at all. Instead, a civil servant from the Metropolitan Procuratorate found out.

If this is not dereliction of duty, I am afraid that there is nothing in the world that is dereliction of duty.

He knocked his head on the ground, and didn't know what to say at this time in order to restore his image in Li Tian's mind.

Ashamed to say,

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this old servant will definitely settle this matter. If there is any mistake, this old servant is willing to apologize with his head."

Li Tian sighed and said,

"It's fine, it's fine, it's better than nothing to talk less empty words and do more practical things."

He slowed down a bit, and then continued to say to the three,
"Since you are an undercover agent, you will naturally need a special method of communication. You guys should go and ask Chief Tie for advice on this point. In the future, you just need to communicate with him!"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Huang Yan with deep eyes.

He sighed inwardly,

"Dongchang, whose teeth have been pulled out, is becoming more and more unusable now. This matter should be regarded as an assessment for you. If it is done well, Dongchang will continue to be kept. In case things go wrong , then there is no need for the East Factory to continue to exist.”

Of course, he wouldn't tell anyone this inner truth. Whether Huang Yan and the others can realize this meaning depends on their good fortune.

Don't look at Li Tian saying this matter so solemnly today.

But in fact, in his heart, he was not very fancy about this matter.

Assassinating the emperor is very difficult, and the chance of success is actually very slim, but the people in Nanjing still did it.

It can only explain two problems. One is that they were indeed driven into a hurry and wanted to stop their next actions by any means.

The second is that this action is very likely, but it is actually just a smokescreen, just to give Li Tian a warning.

If the second guess is correct, even if an undercover agent is sent, the mastermind behind the investigation is likely to be a target, and no real big fish can be caught at all.

Li Tian could have killed all these guys quietly and silently.

However, he purposely kept them here at this time. Apart from giving Huang Yan and others a chance, he also wanted to see what kind of level those guys in Nanjing could do.

Their decision this time determines how much Li Tian will punish them in the future.

If they just probed their own attitude and didn't plan to kill them, maybe in the future, after they were all heroes who shed blood for Daming, I could give them a decent ending.

If they were already reckless this time, then there was no need for him to show mercy to them.

In fact, counting the undercover operation of Huang Yan and others this time.

Li Tian already has five or six methods against Nanjing.

Not to mention Xu Jingnian and others who were the first to be sent back to monitor and secretly investigate the infighting between Ma Dazhong and the nobles.

Just say that Zhou Chen, the governor of Nanzhili, and He Lin, the new guarding eunuch, are enough for them to drink a pot.

In addition, Tang Saier, Zhu Zhanji and others who are about to arrive, as well as Zhang Yongri who is going to open a workshop in Nanjing.

These groups of people, no matter which way they go, can bring back a lot of news for themselves.

Bright and dark, soft and hard are almost all available.

If you add that next year, Li Qing's investigation team, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and those gangsters in Nanjing who play tricks and tricks, whether they can persist in the past is still a question.

Therefore, Li Tian actually didn't pay much attention to these guys in Nanjing.

In his consideration, the big deal is to do it again, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's drink and release the military power will do.

If it really doesn't work, it's also possible to learn from the Han Dynasty and issue a Tweet Order.

That is to say, the time may take a little longer, but it is actually not difficult to solve this group of Zi Xungui.

As for the reason why Li Tian knew that these people were behind the scenes, but still didn't get serious about them, there were actually two reasons.

First of all, although these nobles hoarded land and collected money, they seriously damaged the interests of the court and the people.

But they are solid and capable military generals, and they are the guarantee for the defense of the Ming Dynasty. Before the new army has completely become regular and formed a certain scale, they will be completely abandoned.

Not only is it not beneficial, but it may cause great turmoil, which is not good for Li Tian's future plans.

The second is that the future Daming will not be limited to the current territory of Daming.

Whether it is to conquer the grasslands in the future, to conquer Siam in the south, to conquer Koryo and Japan in the east, or to build colonies overseas.

These nobles who not only understand the rules of officialdom, but also have experience in commanding troops and fighting are the most ideal managers.

Without their help, Li Tian's colonization plan will be greatly reduced in the future, and may even be postponed for many years.

Therefore, Li Tian couldn't and couldn't bear to wipe out all the elites of these Ming elites.

Another point is that the Xungui Group was Li Tian's powerful helper against the official and gentry group in the early stage.

No matter which side's strength has been severely hit by both of them, they will let the other side rise.

A situation where one head dominates is not what Li Tian wants to see.

Some people may say, since the Xungui Group is an indispensable part of Daming, why not cultivate some new loyal Xungui to replace these disobedient guys.

Do you think Li Tian didn't think about this question?

In fact, Li Tian had this idea a long time ago, but the time has not yet come.

Regardless of whether it is the new army or the steam engine, the hard-core strength of the highway has not yet formed a certain scale, and rashly promoting some young nobles is not only not beneficial, but also has great disadvantages.

Maybe three to five years later, after Li Tian's strength has accumulated to a certain level, then is the time for him to really support his cronies.

Now, he still relies on these people to maintain the long-term stability of Daming.

Li Tian's thoughts on the nobles are complicated, so complicated that he doesn't even know whether it is better to keep them or not.

In this era of relying entirely on relationships to accomplish great things.

The emperor also needs to maintain this complex network of relationships from time to time, and the nobles happen to be a very important part of it.

This is the emperor's difficulty and helplessness.

In the so-called Ming Dynasty, there was no marriage, no territory, the emperor guarded the country, and the king died in the country. In Li Tian's view, the external toughness was just to cover up the internal weakness and indulgence.
