The Jinyi guards all said that the two hundred thousand taels of silver were easily moved to the warehouse in the hands of two thousand people.
Then, Lin Fan ordered people to take down the signboard of Chen Yan's mansion and asked Baihusi's brothers to guard the door. From now on, this would be Baihusi's yamen.
Qianqing Palace!
When Emperor Chongzhen listened to Luo Yangxing's report, his face gradually showed joy!
"Okay! I didn't expect this kid to have such a method. Not only did he form the White Tiger Division in public, he also asked people to voluntarily form a group. This will make it easier for him to distinguish the factions among the Jinyi Guards!"
"One person can defeat a hundred people. This will convince these people. Not to mention Jin Yiwei's North and South Guards Fusi, Baihusi will definitely obey him!"
"Very good!"
The more Chongzhen talked, the happier he became.
Luo Yangxing was happy to see Chongzhen, and naturally he was also happy in his heart. As a minister, there is nothing better than making his master happy.
"Your Majesty, something serious has happened!"
At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly walked in, it was the great eunuch Cao Huachun.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this person was the head of the eunuchs in the palace, and his power was greater than that of the fourth eunuch Wang Chengen written by Li Jianbin.
"kindness?
What's wrong?"
Chongzhen asked.
"Your Majesty, the new commander of the Jinyi Guards, Mr. Lin Fanlin, has ransacked Mr. Chen Ge's house!"
Cao Huachun said in a deep voice.
"What!"
Chongzhen heard this and screamed.
"you sure?
Then Chen Yan’s home has many guests, so he honestly let the Jin Yiwei ransack the house?”
Luo Yangxing said in shock.
"Ahem! Mr. Lin led the newly established White Tiger Division and rushed into Chen Ge's hometown. He killed everyone on sight. There were 583 people in Chen Ge's hometown, but no one survived. Even Mr. Chen Ge was killed. !”
"Moreover, Mr. Lin also directly removed the plaque of Chen Mansion, saying that he wanted to set it up as the new Baihu Si Yamen!"
Cao Huachun said again.
By the end of Chongzhen's reign, there was no longer a so-called eunuch party, only corrupt officials who were in the same den as the Donglin Party, and Cao Huachun was one of the big ones.
According to historical records, when Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, Cao Huachun donated as much as 50,000 taels of silver. In the end, his home was confiscated, and the money in his home was as much as one million taels.
Chen Yan was killed, which made the officials in the court angry and frightened. Therefore, Cao Huachun was immediately sent to the palace to complain.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was sitting on the stool. He was completely stupid. His son really didn't talk nonsense!
That day, he heard Lin Fan's voice, saying that after taking control of the Jin Yiwei, he would raid the homes of the officials in the court and take the money to build a new mountain.
I didn’t expect him to start so soon!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what should we do now?
The officials in the court are very dissatisfied with this! They threatened to remonstrate with death and asked Your Majesty to execute Lin Fan and bring justice to Mr. Chen Ge!"
Cao Huachun said again.
Luo Yangxing looked at Chongzhen dumbly, and Chongzhen didn't know how to answer. After a long while, Cao Huachun saw that Chongzhen didn't speak, so he could only retreat silently.
"Ahem! Your Majesty, Cao Huachun is gone..."
Luo Yangxing coughed twice and said.
"I know."
Chongzhen said.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?
Prince Lin Fan did such a treasonous thing and killed Chen Ge's family, and the ministers in this court will never tolerate him!"
Luo Yangxing said in a deep voice.
"Hmph! Those officials deserve to be killed!"
Chongzhen gritted his teeth and said coldly.
"It's been two days! They haven't come to court for two days. What do I mean by this court?"
What is this Ming Dynasty?
Aren't they going to file a complaint?
Then go and file a complaint in the morning!"
"Come here! Tell all the officials that anyone who does not come to court tomorrow will be dismissed from their official positions!"
Chongzhen said coldly.
He is now in a broken position. His own son has killed Chen Yan. If he continues to show weakness to the officials, it seems that it will not have any effect.
Go to court early the next day, above the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Chongzhen hadn't arrived yet, but the officials arrived neatly.
They were all holding back their anger today, because after Lin Fan killed Chen Yan's family, Chongzhen issued such an order again.
Obviously, Lin Fan's killing of Chen Yan's family was Chongzhen's intention. Is this a way to intimidate them?
"Master Li, what do you mean by your Majesty?
It was indeed a mistake for me not to come to court, but I wouldn’t kill Chen Ge’s entire family directly!”
"That's right! Your Majesty's method is too ruthless. Officials like us have to work hard even without merit!"
"The most disgusting thing is that Lin Fan, a young brat, dared to take the royal guards to ransack an official's house. It would be so embarrassing if we didn't kill him!"
"Yes! Let your Majesty kill him first!"
The officials said one after another.
The prince's grand master Li Guozhen's face was as gloomy as water. He had the same idea as these officials. Didn't His Majesty find a capable assistant?
Aren't you going to force us to go to court?
Then we will force you to kill him today.
Li Jiantai's face was as gloomy as water. He is now the Minister of War, but he does not have much real power in his hands. The Ming Dynasty has been losing ground in the recent battles with Li Zicheng.
Your Majesty is not going to have surgery on yourself, what should you do?
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
Wang Chengen's voice came, and everyone hurriedly returned to their seats and stood. Immediately afterwards, Chongzhen came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, served by a group of eunuchs.
The officials hurriedly knelt down and worshiped.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
The officials said in unison.
Chongzhen looked at the officials kowtowing below with a cold look on his face: "My dear friends, you have not gone to court for two days. I thought there was no one here today."
"Your Majesty, I have been busy with official duties for the past two days, and this has only delayed my attendance at court. Please forgive me!"
Wei Zaode said in a deep voice.
This person was a representative figure of the Donglin Party. He was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion. Historically, Chen Yan resigned as the chief minister of the cabinet in February 1644, and Wei Zude was his successor.
"oh?
You actually didn't come to court because you were busy with official duties. Could it be that you went to collect money?
Are you going to deal with the intruder?"
Chongzhen said coldly.
"Your Majesty, as ministers, we are naturally willing to share your worries for Your Majesty. As long as it is beneficial to our Ming Dynasty, I am willing to do it!"
"It's just that the Chen Ge family was killed yesterday by Lin Fan, the commander of the Jinyi Guards. Your Majesty, please give justice to the Chen Ge family for this matter!"
When the officials heard what Chongzhen said, they were also angry in their hearts. They were unwilling to continue being polite with Chongzhen, which directly led to Lin Fan's incident.
When Chongzhen heard what these people said about Lin Fan, he was about to get angry when he suddenly realized that Lin Fan didn't come...
