In order to deal a heavy blow to Jianlu, Emperor Chongzhen did not hesitate to go to Jinyiwei Prison and interrogate Chen Xinjia himself.
However, in the end, after going to prison this time, there was no direct gain, which made him a little disappointed!
Now, we can only hope for Wang Chengen's interrogation to see if anything can be asked and whether it is of any use value!
Feeling a little depressed, Emperor Chongzhen immediately thought of his friend and wanted to talk about it.
So, he took out his mobile phone.
The video was quickly connected, and through the background, we could see that Liu Weichao should be outside.
"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Liu Weichao looked at Emperor Chongzhen in the video and asked with a smile.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen asked first: "Is it convenient for you to speak?"
From previous experience, Liu Weichao was in the library, so it was inconvenient to speak.
This time, he remembered it. When he saw Liu Weichao was not in the room, he would ask if it was convenient to talk.
When Liu Weichao heard this, he turned his phone around, then turned it back and said with a smile: "I'm waiting for the bus to go to the airport. It's a working day now, not working hours. There's no one around!"
"Gong Jiao?" Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen asked curiously: "Is he your friend?"
"..." When Liu Weichao heard this, he was a little speechless. He turned the phone again and asked Emperor Chongzhen to look at the bus stop sign, and then explained to him, "It's the kind of very fast car you've seen before, but this one
It is a relatively large car that everyone can ride on for a small amount of money. The only drawback is that it travels on a fixed route and stops many times on the road. If there are many people, it will be very crowded!"
After a pause, he said with some anticipation: "When I have money in the future, I will buy a car by myself, so that I don't have to take this kind of bus. I can go directly to where I want to go without waiting, crowding, or detours."
.”
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately said seriously and seriously: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you get rich!"
Liu Weichao smiled after hearing this and asked Emperor Chongzhen: "By the way, why did you contact me?"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he roughly recounted what happened that morning, and finally said: "I really want to defeat Jianlu once, but I don't know if I have this chance!"
Liu Weichao nodded after hearing this and said in agreement: "The Jianlu people only have a small population. Year-round wars will result in a loss of population, but they will plunder the population to replenish it. If you can defeat them once, cut off their reach into the pass.
hand, it will definitely hit them hard, and it is indeed something worth doing!"
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "It seems that Huang Taiji will die this year. I can't remember clearly. If he doesn't die this year, he will die next year. In short, he will die."
In front of you. Then, conflicts broke out among Jianlu for the throne. If you can defeat Jianlu once during this period, it will probably aggravate their internal conflicts..."
Emperor Chongzhen was very happy when he heard that the slave chief would die, that would be great!
But then, when he heard Liu Weichao say that the slave chief had died before him, he immediately remembered that according to the original historical development, he would have lived for less than two years, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
But fortunately, it should not be the case now. The seventeenth year of Chongzhen is definitely not his end!
Just when he thought of this, Emperor Chongzhen was suddenly startled, and quickly said to Liu Weichao: "Well... well, according to you, I am already changing history. Will the fate of the slave chief also change, and he will not change it."
Will he die?"
If that were the case, he would be happy in vain.
When Liu Weichao heard this, he immediately shook his head and said with a smile: "The butterfly effect also requires logic. He is a fat man, and he is already seriously ill at this time. Even if you change history, you can't change his physical illness. Basically, he
No matter when you died in the original history, you won't be dragged to where now! If you can defeat Jianlu once, you might be able to make him die earlier than in history!"
When he said this, he remembered a time-travel novel written by an author he had seen before. Anyway, in that book, Huang Taiji was so angry that he vomited blood again and again, and finally died of anger.
At this time, when Emperor Chongzhen heard that the slave chief should die or die, he couldn't help but feel happy again. He even secretly made up his mind to defeat Jianlu once and make the slave chief angry to death. That would be the best!
Thinking of this, he became even more eager to defeat Jianlu.
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen said to Liu Weichao with a little regret: "Now I just don't know how to use those profiteers to lure the Jianlu into the pass as in the original history. In this way, I can gather elite troops to stage an ambush. Yeah..."
Seeing that he was a little worried about gains and losses, Liu Weichao thought about it and comforted Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Actually, since what Sun Chuanting said makes sense, I think that even if there are no Shanxi merchants to lead the way, Jianlu should still enter the pass.
of!"
"Why?" Emperor Chongzhen asked curiously upon hearing this.
After hearing this, Liu Weichao explained to him: "Didn't Sun Chuanting say that the battle between Jianlu and Songjin had depleted the family's wealth, and they were counting on the grain from the Ming Dynasty's northern transportation? Then this is a fact. Whether there are Shanxi merchants leading the way, it doesn't matter.
It’s a fact that cannot be changed. If the Jianlu people don’t enter the pass, how will they survive the winter?”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but feel happy. He had to admit that this statement was very reasonable.
"This is actually the general trend!" Liu Weichao was still saying there, "or it is also called conspiracy, which is something that you know what will happen, but you still have to do it. Besides, Jianlu has entered the customs several times, so it is considered
They understand the situation inside the customs. But their understanding of the situation inside the customs is still stuck in the past. I feel that they will definitely enter the customs!"
Emperor Chongzhen was happy when he heard this, and nodded quickly and said: "Yes, I think so too. Haha, after you said that, I feel a lot better! Haha, I must prepare well and entertain the guests from afar.
Here come these Tartars!”
After finishing speaking, he said with a little hatred: "Now I have no scruples. No matter how Wang Chengen's trial is conducted, those profiteers will die!"
Of course, Liu Weichao had no objection to this, but nodded and said: "Such traitors, people who have forgotten their ancestors, should be severely punished to deter others!"
As soon as he said this, he saw the bus he was waiting for approaching, and he quickly said to Emperor Chongzhen: "The bus I was waiting for is here. No more chatting, I'll get on the bus first!"
"Okay!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and then said in a good mood, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you buy a bus of your own!"
………………
At the same time, far away in Shafu, a high-ranking official in Huguang, one of the thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, a group of people dispersed from the government office, and everyone whispered to each other and praised him endlessly.
"The elder is really powerful. He seems to be able to solve cases like a god!"
"No, more than two hundred cases have been settled this year, and no one is dissatisfied!"
"It's really amazing that Mr. Bao is still alive!"
"..."
These people had just watched the trial of Du Yinxi, the prefect of Changsha, and they all admired him very much.
However, there are still people who have different views.
"Let me tell you, the eldest man is much more powerful than Bao Gong! Do you think, can Bao Gong be beaten by our eldest man?"
"That's right. The eldest master has the ability of Zhuge Wuhou. As soon as he came to our Changsha, he led the troops to suppress the surrounding thieves. Also, the eight kings caused great harm in Huguang and did not come to our Changsha.
!”
"No, the great master's great reputation will naturally intimidate those thieves!"
"..."
Du Yinxi came to be the governor of Changsha in the 14th year of Chongzhen. He immediately rectified the village heroes. In May of that year, the bandit Xiao Xiangyu and others broke out and disturbed Anhua and Ningxiang. They defeated many officers and soldiers, and the situation was very fierce. Yinxi led the township.
He bravely defeated his army and beheaded them. He also defeated the thieves in the swallow's nest in Liling and beheaded the thieves' heads, Cao Shangfei, Li Huzi and others.
Afterwards, under the rule of Changsha, things settled down immediately. Also, these people felt that Du Yinxi was more powerful than Bao Gong.
However, Zhang Xianzhong was mainly active in the north of Huguang and the border with Anhui at this time, and did not go south. These people said that Zhang Xianzhong was afraid of blocking Yinxi, which is not an objective fact.
But it can be seen from this that after Du Yinxi took office, he suppressed bandits and pacified the area, then tried the backlog of cases and punished the lawless, which was very popular among the people.
If the original historical development is followed, during his tenure as the prefect of Changsha, he handled more than 300 backlog cases and compiled the "Changsha Prefecture Chronicles". He was transferred two years later.
At this time, a group of people who had dispersed suddenly heard the rapid sound of horse hoofbeats. They looked up and saw a group of knights galloping towards them. They were so frightened that they fled away.
"Who is this person? He is so rampant. Aren't you afraid of the great master?"
"Don't talk nonsense. It looks like he's from the imperial court, not a traitor! Look, he's going to the Yamen!"
"Ah, is there an emergency military situation? Could it be that the Eight Kings have gone south?"
"..."
Worried, these people stopped to watch.
I saw this group of knights galloping to the gate of the government office before reining in their horses. The dust they brought up passed them and rushed towards the government servants at the door.
The two government officials at the door were naturally unhappy, so they stopped at the door and shouted loudly, "What are you doing?"
I saw a knight who dismounted first, took out a token from his arms, stretched it forward, and immediately shouted: "The Jinyi Guards are on official business, is Du Yinxi the prefect here?"
The officer was startled and did not dare to test the authenticity of the token. In fact, he did not have the ability to test it. But looking at this posture, it must be the legendary Jin Yiwei, otherwise, there would be no way he could be so powerful.
momentum.
So, the Yamen servant immediately nodded and bowed, and quickly led the way.
Another yamen official almost rolled on the ground and went in to report it.
Du Yinxi had just finished handling an old case, and when he returned to the Yamen and was about to have lunch, he suddenly got a report that a Jin Yiwei had arrived, and he was immediately startled.
Throughout the entire Chongzhen Dynasty, Jin Yiwei was banned by the current emperor and almost never left the capital.
It is very rare for Jin Yiwei to suddenly come to Changsha from such a distance!
"Is it possible that someone in the court is impeaching me, and is this Jin Yiwei here to arrest me?" Such an idea immediately popped up in Du Yinxi's mind.
Apart from that, he couldn't think of any other possibility.
"Master, what can we do about this?" His wife was also frightened, but she had no choice but to ask with a crying voice.
After hearing this, Du Yinxi straightened his clothes and said, "I have never done anything wrong in my life, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"
After finishing speaking, he strode out.
When his wife saw him, she was even more worried. Because she knew her husband well, and looking at his expression, she knew that someone from the court would probably be up to no good!
However, what can she do about matters in court?
It would be great if there was someone to back me up in the court!
Du Yinxi didn't care about anything else. When he came to the front office quickly, a government servant quickly reported to him: "Those people are changing clothes in the lobby, please wait a moment!"
After Du Yinxi heard this, his face was stern, he just nodded and waited outside with a frown.
The princes in the court are all in the same party and oppose different people, and only recognize the word money. Of course, he is well aware of the corruption of the country's affairs.
Suddenly, a Jinyiwei came under the order. Just because he had no backer in the court, it was basically certain that something was up to him!
Thinking of this, Du Yinxi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In these days, everything from national affairs to personal matters is having a hard time!
He was thinking about it when suddenly a man wearing a royal uniform came out of the lobby. He looked at Du Yinxi and asked, "Is Du Yinxi, the prefect of Changsha, here?"
"That's my official!" Upon hearing this, Du Yinxi quickly answered with his hands raised.
When the emperor's personal guards go out to the capital for official business, they represent the emperor's will. Civil servants can put on airs when dealing with other military officers, but this is not the case.
When the Jinyi Guardsman saw it, he immediately showed a polite expression, gestured in and said: "In that case, please accept the order, Mr. Du!"
After Du Yinxi heard this, he raised his legs and walked inside. Other officials in the yamen who came in a hurry also followed in.
Unexpectedly, the captain of the Imperial Guard stretched out his hand and said, "This is a secret order, and only Du Yinxi, the prefect of Changsha, can accept it!"
This statement surprised everyone. Although they were curious, they stopped and watched Du Yinxi disappear into the lobby.
After a while, Du Yinxi was a little stunned after hearing the decree. He couldn't imagine why there was such an imperial decree suddenly?
Although the imperial edict had been received, he still didn't believe it. He couldn't help but ask the chamberlain who announced the edict: "May I ask my father-in-law, what is going on?"
The eunuch who announced the decree was one of Wang Chengen's confidants. Naturally, Wang Chengen knew what the emperor meant about Du Yinxi, so he quickly said with a smile: "This is because your Excellency is going to be reused by the emperor. As long as you do this job well, you will be successful."
day!"
After hearing this, Du Yinxi was indifferent, but immediately asked: "Why would your Majesty choose a subordinate who is thousands of miles away? Besides, the little Yuan camp is not in Changsha either?"
No matter which angle he thought about it, whether someone in the court said good things about him or bad things about him, he couldn't connect with them. How could there be such a will?
This is a recommendation from another world, it’s strange that he could think of it!
