Chapter 1046 The truth is gradually revealed
On August 20, the fifth year of Jiajing, Xu Pengju, Duke of Wei, finally took Wang Zhi back to the capital. In addition to the four Japanese kings who came to Beijing to "tribute" with him, he also transported more than three million taels of silver with ship. The entire capital was instantly boiling again. The God of Wealth (Qin Jin, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue) was so excited that his hands were shaking like Parkinson's patient. He immediately took the minor officials from various departments of the Ministry of Revenue to go to the Tongzhou Wharf to count the silver. As a result, the problem of shaking hands after counting the silver was even more serious. After all, more than three million taels were not a small amount. Qin had a cramp in his hands counting the silver!
Jiajing was so happy that he couldn't stop talking all day long. Xu Qing was still able to hold money. He went out every year and felt that I didn't have to collect taxes from the people anymore!
Although the silver was transported back by Xu Pengju, everyone knew that Xu Jin got it in Japan. This is the real God of Wealth in the Ming Dynasty. Every time he took charge of the battle, he would definitely transport a lot of silver to the treasury, and it was calculated in one million units. Five million taels of cash silver was shipped back from Japan the previous year, and nearly ten million taels were shipped back from Nanyang the year before (not cash silver). With such a person, it would be difficult for the Ming Dynasty to not be rich!
Xu Pengju took a boat to Beijing and walked back to Beijing on the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, so it took him more than a month to return to Beijing. On the evening of the day he entered Beijing, Xie Sanliang and Pi Shiyi also rode a fast horse into Guangqumen.
After the two entered Beijing, Xie Sanqiang went home to report his safety, while Pi Shiyi went straight to the Beizhen Fushi Office and met Jin Biao, the governor of Beizhen Fushi Office, and secretly conveyed Xu Jin's order.
By the way, since Lu Bing was asked to beheaded, Jin Biao took over the position of Fufu Envoy of the Jinyiwei North Town Fu Office, and this person can be regarded as Xu Jin's direct line.
After reading the letter Xu Jin wrote to him, Jin Biao was instantly scared and sweated. He found several subordinates and slapped hard on the spot, because he had sent these Jinyi lieutenants to Cixi County, Ningbo Prefecture, Zhejiang several months ago to investigate Li Chun's background, but he did not find anything wrong.
In fact, it is not a big mistake for these Jinyiwei. Since Li Dayi pretended to be Li Chun to participate in the princess's marriage selection, he naturally made his identity perfect and could definitely stand the investigation. If Xu Jin hadn't happened to meet Li Mu, an insider, he would never know that "Li Chun" was fake.
After all, Li Bingcai claimed to the public that Li Chun was his long-lost son, and he did have a son who gave him away back then, but not many people knew that his son had died, perhaps only Li Mu and Li Bingcai himself, so it was normal that the Jinyiwei could not find out.
Fortunately, it was not too late to forget the sheep and repair the siege. After Jin Biao drew a few subordinates, he immediately sent someone to keep an eye on Li Chun for 24 hours, as long as he could not alarm the enemy. This was Xu Jin's request.
Xie Sanqin is now appointed by the court, so he naturally has to report to the Ministry of War when he returns to the capital. He first goes home to report his safety, and then goes to the Ministry of War to click Mao.
After Jiajing learned that Xie Sanliang had returned to Beijing, he immediately summoned him to the palace to ask questions. What did he ask? Of course, he asked Xu Jin about his current situation, where Xu Jin had been now, when he could go to the capital, etc.
Xie Sanqin answered one by one, but he did not inform Jiajing about the matter of the prince-consor Li Chun. He decided to make a decision after the Jinyiwei found out the situation, so as not to make a mistake.
When Jiajing learned that Xu Jin would arrive in the capital in a few days, he couldn't help but feel very happy and kept Xie Sanliang for a meal in the palace before letting him go.
When Xie Sanliang returned to Xu Mansion in Xiaofang, the whole family was waiting for him to start dinner, so Xie Sanliang happily took another meal. The 18-year-old boy was at a time when his appetite increased greatly, not to mention a little tiger like Sanliang, who was over two meters tall, had an amazing appetite. Not to mention two meals, he could eat three meals.
After the meal, the whole family sat together and chatted. Fei Jixiang and Fei Ruyi also sat down with shamelessness to chat together because they wanted to know the current situation of their husbands, and it was not pleasant to worry about them day and night.
So Xie Sanqiang said vividly about the story of going to sea to calm down. After nearly two hours, the three women let him go with satisfaction, and each dispersed happily, waiting eagerly for his husband who had been thinking about day and night to return home.
"The fourth brother of the year, Brother Jin asked you to return to Beijing early. Is there anything else?" Xie Qing was worthy of being Lao Jiang. He asked as soon as he left the gate of Xu Mansion.
Xie Sanqiang gave a thumbs up and said, "It's amazing, can my father beat me up?"
Xie Qing laughed and scolded, "Little bastard, your father has eaten more salt than you have eaten. Don't keep it a secret. What's going on? With your brother-in-law's steady and meticulous personality, if you have nothing to do, it's absolutely impossible to send you to Beijing first."
Xie Sanqiang didn't hide it anymore, so he doubted the identity of the prince-consor Li Chun, which might be a cheating marriage. Who knew that Xie Qing and Xie Yidao's face changed drastically after hearing this!
Seeing this, Xie Sanqian couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong? Why are your faces strange?"
Xie Yidao said in a deep voice: "San Gun, I have seen that Li Chun. Although he is handsome and elegant, his figure and eyes are very similar to Li Dayi. Moreover, his name is Li Shouyi, which is just one word different. I have long suspected him. Now that it is confirmed that the identity of "Li Chun" is fake, then it is even more likely that this person is Li Dayi."
"Li Dayi, the son of Bailian rebel Li Fuda?" Xie Sanqiu blurted out.
Xie Yidao nodded and continued, "If Li Chun was Li Dayi, then Sun Bin died suddenly, it must be his murderous move. He wanted to be the prince consort."
Xie Sanqiang couldn't help but take a breath. If Li Dayi was the son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty, the consequences would be unimaginable. Just thinking about it would be terrible. Moreover, if my brother-in-law hadn't happened to meet Li Mu and had seen through his disguised identity, it would be a foregone conclusion that Li Dayi would marry Princess Yongfu away.
Fortunately, I am very lucky!
The three fathers and sons of the Xie family were all in fear. Not to mention anything else, if Li Dayi suddenly attacked when marrying Princess Yongfu, it would be easy to kill Jiajing and Empress Dowager Jiang with his skills. If Xu Jin happened to be present, it would be a good thing to take over.
Xie Sanqin was uneasy, and he immediately said, "No need to delay, this Li Chun is too dangerous, and he must be killed first."
"Three shots, if Li Chunzhen was Li Dayi, he was determined to be the son-in-law, and his plan would not be small. At least it would not be activated before getting married. Your brother-in-law will be able to arrive in the capital in the next few days. Let him deal with it." Xie Qing said in a deep voice.
Xie Qing felt that there was no conclusive evidence that Li Chun was Li Dayi. If the three of you took action to kill the princess' third "son-in-law" at this time, it would be hard to explain to the emperor, so it would be better to wait for Xu Jin to come back before making a decision.
