For Lin Jing at this time, a small group had gradually formed around him. Among the internal officials were Fang Gongqian and Li Jizhou, and among the foreign ministers were Li Ruolian, Wu Weiye, Lin Zengzhi, Shen Tingyang, Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji and others. Yang Tinglin arrived immediately, as well as special talents such as Wu Youke, Song Yingxing and Bo Jue.
Speaking of which, in such a short period of time, Lin Jing was able to recruit so many available talents. In addition to his status as a prince, it was also inseparable from his personal charm.
Therefore, for the remaining officials of the East Palace, His Highness the Crown Prince could not be too amiable, and they suddenly saw hope for the future.
After inspecting these younger brothers, Lin Jing immediately decided to arrange for them to do their work. Hu Shouheng and Yang Shicong went to assist Wu Weiye in making logistical preparations for the prince's escort camp, while Huang Yingen and Zhu Guozhao went to the Beijing camp to prepare. Officer inspection work.
However, the aftermath of the Jingying incident was far from over in He. After learning about Jingying's tricks, many Wokaiyue people launched a pursuit of Zhu Chunchen and Xu Yunzhen.
Of course, on the surface, it's just a trick on Qingliu, but the mastermind behind it is a bit hard to figure out.
Under this situation, Lin Jing had no choice but to go to court with Emperor Chongzhen to calm the current turmoil.
"If any official has something to do, he will report it early, and if there is nothing to do, he will leave the court."
"I have my roots."
Faced with the current turmoil against the Beijing camp, the first people to stand up were not Zhu Chunchen and Xu Yunzhen, but another unrelated person - the British public.
As a British prince, Zhang Zhiji was not a very accomplished nobleman, but his father Zhang Weixian was different. Back then, Zhang Weixian had been leading the Chinese Army Governor's Office, controlling the Beijing camp and consolidating the capital. Moreover, this man was special. It was he who personally carried the emperor away in a sedan chair to inherit the throne when faced with the obstruction of Wei Zhongxian and other eunuchs. He could be called the White Jade Pillar of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Chongzhen respected the British public line very much. Although Zhang Zhiji was an incompetent person, he always made him a counselor in the government affairs. However, Zhang Zhiji knew what the duty of a minister was, and he never spoke up on other matters. Now when he spoke, Chongzhen also attached great importance to his ideas.
When he saw Chongzhen's inquiring look, Zhang Zhiji calmly took out a memorial from his sleeve and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I heard that there is serious corruption and deficit in the capital camp. I am very frightened. I would like to I want to avenge my father. If he is guilty, I am willing to take the punishment and thank the world. I also ask your majesty to keep a close eye on the affairs of the capital camp——"
An ugly look suddenly appeared on Chongzhen's face, and he said: "Zhang Qing, the old prince is loyal to the country. I naturally understand in my heart that the affairs of the capital camp are of great importance. I asked the prince to inspect the capital camp in order to clean up the dirty things. .”
Zhang Zhiji smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, when my father was in charge of the capital, there was no such shocking incident. Now the corruption in the capital is shocking, and there are many unfounded remarks that have implicated the minister. Father, I can’t bear to see my father unable to feel at ease even under Jiuquan, so I beg your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation of the capital camp!”
The ministers were shocked. They had a very sensitive sense of smell and soon realized the meaning behind Zhang Zhiji's words. He used the reason of redressing the grievances of the old prince to pin the responsibility of the Beijing camp on Zhu Chunchen and Xu Yunzhen. !
For a moment, there was a slight commotion in the court, and many people glanced at Zhu Chunchen and Xu Yunzhen in a vague way. It was obvious that the confrontation had officially begun.
Emperor Chongzhen was startled. He glanced sideways at Lin Jing, only to see Lin Jing with a smile on his face and looking at the ministers quietly.
Is it possible that this kid is doing some tricks again?
However, at this time, Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, also stood up. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with difficulty: "As the governor-general and the commander-in-chief of the capital camp, I cannot escape the blame for the corruption in the capital. I beg your majesty to exempt me from the crime."
For this mission, I am willing to donate one hundred thousand taels of silver as military supplies."
"Well, Duke Cheng Guo is indeed the pillar of my Ming Dynasty!"
When Chongzhen heard this, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Zhu Chunchen was so sensible that after resigning from the post of military affairs in Beijing, he actually donated 100,000 taels of silver to run the army... This was his first time.
Once I saw money back from a noble minister!
In fact, only Zhu Chunchen was aware of the pain in his heart, because those impeachment memorials by the Qingliu people had begun to beat him to death. Although these memorials did not pose much of a threat in the end, they were ultimately a handle that would give him a handle on his future.
A deep thunder was laid, so under Lin Jing's hint, he finally decided to pay the one hundred thousand taels of silver to dig himself out.
When Zhu Chunchen surrendered, Zhang Zhiji chuckled, without even looking at Zhu Chunchen, but said meaningfully to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the problem of Beijing camp is not that simple. Even if Cheng Guogong has no problem,
It doesn’t mean that others haven’t deceived Duke Cheng..."
After simply saying this sentence, Zhang Zhiji retreated, and the pressure at this time shifted from Zhu Chunchen to Xu Yunzhen, Xue Lian, Li Guozhen and other distinguished generals in the capital. They felt Chongzhen's gaze.
After that, I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
The current situation is already obvious. Zhang Zhiji is watching from the side and shouting to kill. Emperor Chongzhen is looking at them meaningfully. However, Zhu Chunchen, the leader of the ministers who could still be relied on, is scared at this time.
Got it!
That's right, when Zhu Chunchen gave up, the situation suddenly became a little strange.
There is such a big thing happening in Jingying right now, and we urgently need to find someone to take the responsibility.
However, when the biggest person in charge, Mi Chunhong, emerged from the ice tower, Xu Yunzhen, Xue Lian, Li Guozhen and others were still in the water. Of course, they knew that the current situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable to them.
got up, and didn't
Someone reached out to grab them.
When he thought of this, Dingguo Duke Xu Yunzhen cursed Zhu Chunchen in his heart, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I also kindly ask your Majesty to excuse me from my errand, and I am willing to donate one hundred thousand taels of silver as military supplies."
Chongzhen couldn't help but be overjoyed. In less than a moment, two hundred thousand taels of silver were credited to his account. He couldn't be too happy. He nodded quickly and said, "That's good. Duke Ding is also a loyal person to the country."
When the two princes chose to resign and donated 100,000 taels of silver, Xue Lian, the governor of the Chinese Military Mansion, Yangwu Marquis, was naturally a little disappointed. He understood that the pressure was now on him, but he could not say goodbye to his resignation.
Exiting, in the final analysis, is still a reason. For Xue Lian at this time, it is really difficult for him to give up his interests in the Beijing camp.
Lin Jing saw that Xue Lian was reluctant to speak, but he couldn't help but sneered in his heart, since you chose money over life, then I will help you!
At that moment, Lin Jing no longer waited. He gently looked at him and saw Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, nodded very slightly. He felt much relieved at that moment.
