Chapter 997 - Double Hands
Xia Xun rushed all the way to Beijing, first asked someone to send Sakura back to the pavilion, and he rushed directly to the palace.
The Emperor's Palace is the original Yanwang Mansion, and it is also the Dayuan Palace of the year. The future Daming Palace is here, but there is no need to tear down all the buildings to completely rebuild, mainly to expand and rebuild the main hall of the front palace, the part of the harem that needs to be demolished and rebuilt is not very much, so this is the first part to start, now the construction has already been completed here, and the emperor lived here after arriving in Beijing.
When Xia Xun entered the palace to see the emperor, the emperor was accompanied by many ministers, discussing some issues related to the construction of Beijing and the transportation of grain from the south to the north. As soon as he heard that Xia Xun had arrived, Zhu Di was overjoyed, and immediately stopped the discussion and called him to meet him.
As soon as Xia Xun saw the holy driver, he left his post without permission and went to Wara to save people to ask His Majesty the Emperor for his guilt, Zhu Di had no intention of punishing him, and replied with a smile: "Wenxuan has merit in strategizing Northern Xinjiang, and it is true that he has done it for private purposes, but the merits and demerits are offset, so he will not be held accountable." ”
Since the emperor took the initiative to excuse him, it was not easy for others to say anything, Zhu Di gave Xia Xun a seat, and asked him about the situation in Liaodong.
Through the collection of chapters and various intelligences, Zhu Di actually has a considerable degree of understanding of the situation in the north, but of course it is not as detailed and comprehensive as Xia Xun's detailed introduction.
Zhu Di listened very attentively, and from time to time put forward his own views on some issues that need to be paid attention to at the moment and policies that need to be adjusted according to the changes in the current situation in the future, and asked people to write them down, so that he could come back and ask the ministers to discuss a proper way to deal with these issues.
It took about an hour and a half for this report before the emperor said happily: "The matter in the northern Xinjiang is now considered to have opened up the situation, Wenxuan has worked hard and made great achievements, and the future transformation and construction will not be done in a moment, and there is no need to rush for a while." You've just rushed back, tired all the way. Let's go back to the museum post to rest first, and come back to see me tomorrow, and accompany me to see the construction of the Temple of Heaven! ”
Xia Xun bowed, and Zhu Di said to the ministers in the palace: "All Aiqing have also dispersed!" ”
All the ministers agreed and bowed to the emperor to say goodbye, although Xia Xun agreed. But he stayed there until everyone else was gone, Zhu Di saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and couldn't help asking, "What, Wen Xuan still has something to say to me?" ”
"Yes!"
Xia Xun made up his mind and gave Zhu Di a deep bow. He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there are many people in the party, and it is inconvenient for the ministers to ask." Before the minister decided to go to Warat to save people. I don't know if this trip can return safely, because I left a letter in the post office, I don't know if the emperor has seen it? ”
Zhu Di was silent for a moment and replied, "What do you want to say, I already know." The court has laws and disciplines, but laws and regulations need evidence, and I can't dispose of ministers according to your words! ”
Xia Xun said: "Then." The minister asks for the investigation of this case, and the minister will definitely find out the truth of this case and return justice to the military and people of Liaodong! ”
Zhu Di frowned slightly. said: "I have ordered this matter to go down and send someone to investigate. Winshare is waiting for the news! ”
Xia Xun was helpless, so he had to give up his hand and say: "Yes, if that's the case, then...... Retire! ”
Zhu Di looked at Xia Xun's figure slowly withdrawing and sighed softly.
Of course he had read Xia Xun's letter explaining the aftermath, and he didn't need to investigate it at all, so he knew that this matter was true.
Xia Xun, who rushed to Wara with the will to die, would never talk nonsense in the "suicide note", Xia Xun and Ji Gang have no personal enmity, if it is to fight for power and favor, a person with a budding heart will fade at this point, how can he falsely accuse others. Moreover, with Ji Gang's personality and character, it is very possible to do such a thing. He knew very well that Xia Xun was unhappy and was complaining about the many soldiers who sacrificed for no reason.
However, until now, he still trusts and relies on Ji Gang quite much, things have happened, and the overall situation in northern Xinjiang has not deteriorated to the point of being out of control, and the ending is still quite perfect. Is it necessary to pursue this matter again and kill yourself? Ji Gang's intention to invite merit is true, but if all the courtiers do not have the heart to invite merit, how can the emperor drive the ministers?
Zhu Di is even more worried that Ji Gang is also an important minister who is famous in the government and the opposition, if he wants to kill him, he has to announce his crimes, but Da Ming secretly instigated them, so that how can these secrets of the cannibalism of Warat and Tatar be made public?
Moreover, once the news spreads that the war situation has deteriorated due to the minister's invitation to merit, and the news of many unnecessary casualties among the soldiers spreads, will the families of those dead soldiers and the disabled soldiers themselves be chilled? If there are any orders from the imperial court in the future, the soldiers are suspicious, and the prestige of the imperial court is shaken, won't it shake the country's foundation? Can killing a Ji Gang compensate for such a terrible consequence?
What if someone used this incident to instigate the dissatisfaction of the military and civilians of Liaodong against the imperial court? This kind of thing is very likely, how could those Tatar nobles who had been deprived of military power and moved to Liaodong let go of this opportunity? When the time came, rumors were spreading, ...... situation in Liaodong was too complicated, and there were too many Tatar people received at once.
Zhu Di didn't want Xia Xun to chill, but out of various considerations, he didn't want to kill Ji Gang and provoke even greater shock, and now Liaodong must be stable. Moreover, Xia Xun and Ji Gang were both his most favored courtiers, and he didn't want to cut off his own arms, so he had to make a "drag" trick and press down the matter first.
Everyone thinks that the emperor can be killed and killed, but the emperor can't do what he wants!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Xia Xun walked out of the palace and looked up to the sky and sighed: "The emperor is still very fond of Ji Gang!" ”
In order to protect himself, he killed the officials of the Jinyi Guard, which was a capital crime, but the emperor tolerated him, and now Ji Gang has taken radical measures to invite merit, which has caused many unnecessary sacrifices to the soldiers of Liaodong, and the emperor can naturally tolerate him.
The emperor is also a human being, how can he do six emotions without moving, and completely uphold justice.
If nothing else, the problem of the nomads outside the Cypriot region should be successfully solved, even if there are uncertainties in the future, as long as the Tatars are in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for the Tarat to be as strong as it was in history, enough to cause disaster to the Central Plains. His only unfulfilled wish now is to kill Ji Gang.
This person is not dead, he has no worries about the country, and he will not cause any major disasters, in fact, there is no Xia Xun in the original history, and the ending of Ji Gang is still not a good death, and it has not caused much harm to the Ming Dynasty.
But the affairs of Northern Xinjiang were jointly responsible for him and Ji Gang. Those soldiers who did not have to be sacrificed but have become bones are a responsibility for him, others can ignore it, he can't ignore it, and it is his responsibility to seek justice for these soldiers. Only by fulfilling this responsibility can he live with peace of mind.
Xia Xun walked away, thinking only in his heart: "I don't know how far Mu En's investigation of Ji Gang has progressed!" ”
When Ji Gang stepped down from His Royal Highness, he found that Xia Xun deliberately did not leave, and he was immediately alert. But no matter how slow his pace is, when he always goes out, how can he know what Xia Xun wants to say to the emperor?
Ji Gang has a ghost in his heart. Naturally, his heart was weak, he was afraid that Xia Xun would accuse him of his black state, and he didn't know what the emperor was thinking when he heard it, he was quite worried in his heart, and he was hesitating to leave, when Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, came out from the corner of the palace wall, and when he saw Ji Gang at a glance, he smiled and said: "Master Ji." Slow steps, do you have anything on your mind? ”
Ji Gang looked up and hurriedly smiled: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Zhao." His Royal Highness asked, and the minister occasionally felt cold and weak in the past few days. So not very energetic! ”
Zhu Gaosui said with a smile: "This northern season is not as good as the south, don't feel that the spring flowers are blooming, just change out of your winter clothes immediately, cover the spring and autumn freeze, look at what you are wearing now, but it is a little thin." There are some excellent cold medicine in this palace, you can come to this palace to get some back! ”
Ji Gang said movingly: "Thank you Your Highness for your care!" ”
After answering each other, seeing Zhu Gaosui leave, Ji Gang looked at his back and smiled mockingly.
Zhu Gaosui's intention to solicit him, he knew very well in his heart, but his response to Zhu Gaosui was just a false and wrongful snake.
In his opinion, although Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, failed, he did have the capital to compete with the crown prince at the beginning, and in fact, he did threaten the status of the prince several times. And this Zhu Gaosui is very talented, much worse than the King of Han, he has been in Beijing for ten years, so far, it is just a Beijing department, he has not been able to recruit a few henchmen, his ability can be seen.
Probably because Zhu Gaosui thought that his place of residence was Beijing, and the emperor wanted to move the capital to Beijing, which made him have rich associations and feel that he had an opportunity. Ji Gang concluded that once the emperor moved the capital to Beijing, he would definitely blast King Zhao away from Beijing as soon as possible, and another place would be given to the stubborn vassal state, and Zhu Di would not be able to let the matter of fighting for the prince repeat again.
Because of Zhu Gaosui's interruption, Ji Gang couldn't afford to rub in the palace anymore, so he had to walk outside the palace, all the way, thinking to himself, Ji Gang couldn't help but sigh secretly: "The emperor is still very fond of Yang Xu!" ”
Yang Xu was ordered to go to Liaodong, and he actually turned to Warat halfway, what kind of abandonment of public and private interests is this? This is simply disobedience to the Holy Decree! Even if the emperor was pretentious, it would be good to reproach him verbally, but the emperor didn't even say a word of weight, and he didn't wait for the ministers to intercede for Yang Xu, he himself exonerated Yang Xu first.
Ji Gang secretly thought: "In this way, I sent someone to Liaodong before, even if I collected evidence of Yang Xu's arbitrariness and prestige in Liaodong, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat him." Well, Yang Xu's words in Liaodong have angered the world's Shilin, and now the crowd is raging, just for my use, I have to immediately ask Shen Wendu to contact Jiangnan Shilin, fund and help, stir up the wind and ignite the fire, and make this matter more noisy, as soon as Shilin moves, it can affect the civil and military officials! ”
Ji Gang's eyes narrowed slightly: "Arutai in Tatar and Wansongling in Warat, these two people have hated Yang Xu to death, I can use them to create some evidence that Yang Xu will win the hearts of nomadic tribes and develop private force." first used the power of Shilin to force Yang Xu to hand over power to reduce his influence in the court, and then used the evidence collected by Tatar and Warat and Liaodong to arouse the emperor's jealousy of him, and then ......"
Ji Gang sneered twice, and his feet suddenly sped up!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Xia Xun returned to the pavilion, and Sai'er was already waiting at the door.
Sakura came back, Qiaoyun and Sai'er naturally knew that he was going back to Beijing, Qiaoyun was his concubine, and it was inconvenient to wait at the door of the pavilion, but because he didn't know when he would come back, he was restless for a while.
As soon as Xia Xun got off the horse, Sai'er standing under the porch cheered and ran back quickly, which made Xia Xun stunned.
Xia Xun stepped into the pavilion, and saw Tang Sai'er running to the courtyard where he lived like a little magpie, shouting something inside, and then turned around. Looking at him with a smile, after a few moments, Qiaoyun happily greeted her, and Sakura followed her with a smile.
"Sir!"
When Qiaoyun saw Xia Xun, she cried with joy and wanted to throw herself into his arms. I was afraid that I would lose my manners and ask the master to be responsible, so I couldn't help but hesitate to stop.
Although she is Xia Xun's concubine, she still regards herself as a little girl in her bones, so she is always a little unable to let go in front of Xia Xun. Fang is such a forgetful act. For her, this is the first time she has broken through the wilderness. Seeing Xia Xun open his arms, there was an encouraging and gentle smile in his eyes. Qiao Yun's body paused slightly before he threw himself into his arms.
Xia Xun laughed and said, "Let's go, let's talk in the hall." ”
Xia Xun stepped forward, and the hand holding Qiaoyun's waist did not let go. Qiaoyun is Ming'er's dowry girl, and her background is not high, but she is not only beautiful, but also because she has served Ming'er since she was a child, she accompanies her to read and write. Therefore, not only are the poems and articles refined, but also the demeanor of everyone in terms of dealing with people, if it were not for this inherently limited identity of Yahuan. No matter how talented she looks, how is she worse than others?
It is precisely because of this destined Yahuan identity that she has a beautiful appearance. Although she is good at learning, her temperament is even more gentle and well-behaved, and she is humble in everything she does, so Xia Xun likes her very much, and there is a sense of pity, men always pity the cowardly little woman. So today, seeing her rare true feelings, Xia Xun also deliberately used such a move to express his love for her.
In this way, Qiaoyun was a little scared.
Sai'er followed Xia Xun and reported diligently: "Father-in-law, Mrs. Yun is pregnant with a baby, hehe!" ”
"Huh?"
Xia Xun was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly stopped, looked at Qiaoyun and said, "Is it true?" ”
Qiaoyun wanted to wait for no one to tell the master the good news, but she didn't want to be told by Sai'er, a fast-talking girl, first, she nodded shyly and happily, and said softly: "Well, the concubine invited Lang Zhong to give her a pulse, and she is pregnant!" ”
Xia Xun was overjoyed and laughed: "Okay! Good! My family is going to import Ding again, and if it goes on like this, one day, I will be able to create a nation by myself, hahaha......"
When Sakura heard this, she laughed, but she didn't know what she thought of, and her face suddenly turned red, probably because she thought of "As far as Er'an, Wenxiu Wuyan!" ”
Tang Sai'er didn't think about it so much, and interjected again: "I just told Sister Sakura that Mrs. Yun will definitely give birth to a boy this time." ”
At this time, they had already stepped into the main hall, and Xia Xunqi said, "How do you know that Qiaoyun will be a boy?" ”
Sai'er said: "Lazy is a girl, but Mrs. Yun has never been lazy, you see she is walking now, she is still light and powerful, there is no heavy meaning at all, those who give birth to girls, once pregnant, walking, eating, talking, are all lazy." ”
Xia Xun smiled: "This is not accurate. ”
Turning his head to Qiaoyun, Xia Xun said seriously: "However, it doesn't matter if you have a boy or a girl, it's all my blood and bones, and I will love it the same, you don't have to worry about it, in fact, I prefer girls more." ”
Sai'er winked at Sakura, grimaced, and said, "How about Sakura-san, I'm not wrong, right?" ”
Xia Xun asked, "Didn't say anything...... Well? Sakura-chan? Haha, Sai'er, you can't call her Sister Sakura anymore in the future, it's almost the same to call her Aunt Sakura. ”
Sai'er was stunned and said: "For no reason, why did I drop a lifetime?" ”
Sakura's face turned red, she didn't tell Qiaoyun and Sakura that she was Xia Xun's woman after she came back, how could she say this kind of thing, at this time, when she heard Xia Xun say it, she didn't feel a little embarrassed, but Xia Xun didn't care, and said with a smile: "Sai'er, it's not that you have been demoted, but Sakura has grown up a generation, hehe, what do you call if you don't call your aunt?" ”
"A generation older? What is the rationale for this? ”
Sai'er hasn't figured out the key yet, but Qiaoyun has already understood, and when she looks at Sakura's embarrassed look, she still needs to ask again. Qiaoyun is so well-behaved, he grabbed Sakura and said happy at the moment, making Sakura even more embarrassed, and hurriedly found an excuse and escaped.
Celle stood aside and pouted, but she was indignant.
Although she is young, because of her father's high status in the church, she was very senior in Potai County. Later, she became a disciple of Granny Qiu, and her seniority was even more terrifying, Granny Qiu accepted so many apprentices in Jinling, all of whom were older than her, but who should not call her a senior sister? It's good now, it's a lifetime shorter.
Alas! Who told himself to confess him as his father......
Cell's regret is getting more and more serious.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Liaodong. Tingshan Academy.
Many scholars and Confucian scholars sat cross-legged on the futon, and rows of students stood respectfully behind them.
Liu Jingting, the head of Tingshan Academy, stood at the top, fierce and passionate, and made a generous speech: "Speaking of which, the war between nomadic herding outside the Saiwai and farming in the Central Plains has been going on for a long time, and this kind of thing has been repeatedly recorded in the history books during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It's just that at that time, the princes of the Central Plains stood side by side, and disputes continued, and there were still few records of foreign races in the history books.
Later, when Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he began to send the general Meng Tian to the north to chase the Xiongnu, and Qin Shi Huang started from Lintao in the west and Liaodong in the east. Great efforts were made to build the Great Wall for more than 10,000 miles to prevent the Xiongnu from advancing southward. Ladies and gentlemen, the First Emperor ruled the Six Kingdoms. The force was strong, but he still had to build the Great Wall to resist the Xiongnu, and the threat of the Xiongnu to the Central Plains could be seen.
After that, Han Liubang was trapped in Baishan Mountain, and was forced to adopt a friendly strategy, marrying the princess to the Xiongnu Shan Yu to get out of danger, at this time, the northern shadow frequently appeared in the Central Plains. For the sake of recuperation. Accumulating strength, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen, and Emperor Jing have always adopted a humiliating policy of "harmony" and sent a large amount of property every year. But even so, it could not satisfy the endless greed of the Xiongnu**, and they had to invade south from time to time. I have taken my people captive and harmed my people.
By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he finally accumulated enough national strength, and in order to get rid of the insatiable extortion of the Xiongnu, he launched a counterattack and expelled him to the north of the desert. But when it came to the Three Kingdoms, Wuhuan invaded again, and Cao Cao broke Wuhuan in the north, and this group of wolves died down for a while. At the end of the Jin Dynasty, when the eight kings were in turmoil and the Central Plains were weak, they came again.
The Xiongnu invaded, seized Chang'an, and the northern nomads established sixteen dynasties in our Central Plains, they not only enslaved our Han people, but even exterminated the Han people. At this time, it was Ran Min who issued the "Tuhu Order", calling on the Central Plains men to fight with Hu Kou for no month or day, and finally expel millions of people from the Central Plains from the Central Plains! ”
Like a storyteller, this Liu Shan Chang spoke passionately about the dangerous situation of the Han nation at that time, and talked about the great achievements established by Ran Min at that time and the tragic situation of the war at that time.
When he said that Di, Qiang, and Xiongnu escaped from the Central Plains, Xianbei, who took the opportunity to rise, took the opportunity to come again, attacked Ran Min, Ran Min was trapped, and then divided the general grain with the people, and rode out of the city with 10,000 steps to fight for food, and was surrounded by Xianbei's 140,000 troops, Ran Min led his troops to fight bravely, and he alone killed more than 300 people, and finally fell off and was captured because of the exhaustion of the war horse, and none of the soldiers in the whole army surrendered, and when the battle reached the last person, all the masters and students of Tingshan Academy were in tears.
Liu Jingting also said that Ran Min was killed in the Containment Mountain. After the death of Ran Min, the grass and trees in the seven miles around the mountain were withered, the locusts rose in a big way, and from May to December, the sky did not drop rain. Murong Jun, the lord of the Yan State established by the Xianbei people, was shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly sent people to the place to worship Ran Min, and posthumously crowned Ran Min as the king of martial mourning.
Liu Jingting said awe-inspiringly: "After Ran Min died, the courtiers of Ran State hanged themselves one after another, and none of them surrendered to Yan State. Since the Qin, Han, Wei and Jin dynasties, the martyr ministers who committed suicide from the country without the death of the country committed suicide, starting from Ran Min. Hundreds of thousands of Han people in Ran Wei were unwilling to be enslaved by the Yan people anymore, and fled to the south of the Yangtze River and defected to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The generals of the Eastern Jin Dynasty failed to arrive in time to respond, so that hundreds of thousands of people were intercepted by the Yan army halfway and died. ”
Wan Shiyu, who was sitting between the two pillars under the side porch and listening, leaned over slightly, and gave Ding Yu a look to the side, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
The chief of Liushan, who gave a generous speech on the stage, once scolded Wan Shiyu in front of Xia Xun for refusing to give free relief to the Warat people, causing grief all over the wilderness, and he was a cold-blooded butcher and cruel executioner, but he was scolded by Xia Xun for being a bloody sprinkler.
Xia Xun didn't scold him for being angry, and then he asked people to take these stubborn old masters to visit everywhere, listen to the voices of the obedient Mongolian herdsmen and the persecuted Han people, and let him witness the Han serfs who were rescued from the Mongolian pastoral tent in the process of household resettlement, and listen to their bloody and tearful accusations.
Hearing is false, seeing is believing, let them go out of the study. went to the people in person and witnessed the bloody reality, which made them wake up to the fact that this old master, who was dedicated to "loving the world and being invincible for the benevolent", was brainwashed by Xia Xun and became an ultra-nationalist. People like him are hot-blooded, impulsive, and simple. It's easy to go from one extreme to the other.
There are many similar people, who belong to different seowon schools, prefectural schools, and state schools, and similar lectures are being given in various places. Wan Shiyu was instructed by Xia Xun to encourage the national sentiment of the Liaodong people at the same time, he also sent a large number of scholars and monks. Another brainwashing of the Tatars who returned to Liaodong can be described as a two-pronged approach.
The old master on the stage then said that Chang'an fell to Tibet during the Tang Dynasty, and Shatuo divided the world during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. After the rise of the Khitan, the confrontation with the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, the Jurchens built the Jin State again, the Jin destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, and then the Mongols rose and eliminated the Southern Song Dynasty.
In the end, Liu Shanchang said again: "The grassland people are like wolves. But it is ten times more ferocious than the wolf, and the wolf will not ask for it again when it is full, but man knows how to reserve. They know how to enjoy, so their greed never ends. Only when we Han people become strong can we deter them! Blindly show them gratitude. When you are strong, he will pretend to be convinced, and once you are weak, even if it is only for a moment, they will pounce on you and bite you hard. For thousands of years, this has been the case, so when we have the opportunity, we should completely pull out their wolf teeth and cut off their claws, and any act of appeasement and adultery is a national sinner! ”
In the warm cheers, Liu Jingting stepped aside and said loudly: "Now, the old man invites a person whose whole family was taken to Tatar as slaves when he was fourteen years old, and who was persecuted, and now he has just been rescued by my Liaodong soldiers, to come up and tell you about his personal experience!" “
Wan Shiyu smiled slightly, and said to Ding Yu: "Here you can ask some students to continue to give lectures instead of the master, and select some masters and professors like Liu Shanchang, and enter the customs 'study tour' in the near future." ”
Ding Yu bowed slightly.
Jiangnan Shilin's reaction, how did Xia Xun not know? He felt that this was a good thing, and if it had not been for the intensification of this matter, the scholars there would have always lived in their fantasies, and after such a debate, they would have been able to change the minds of some of them by drawing their attention to the north of the country, and asking them to know more about the real situation that had happened in the Ming frontier.
Of course, Xia Xun will not blindly rely on their self-realization, when he left Liaodong, he had already instructed Wan Shiyu to arrange a large number of Liaodong masters and scholars to go to the Central Plains to give lectures in the near future, and at the same time let them bring some people who had been persecuted, scholars to reason, and the people laid out the facts, and fought with the Dongyan gentlemen who advocated benevolence and forgiveness in the Central Plains.
He didn't believe that the Central Plains Shilin was full of people who ate the ancients, as long as some of them could be changed through this kind of effort, the future Ming Dynasty would undergo earth-shaking changes, not to mention that the process itself could strengthen the influence of Liaodong Shilin.
A culture, a thought, will inevitably be affected by its living environment, the rise of Liaodong Shilin, although it is also inherited from Confucian culture, but will form a unique cultural system different from the Central Plains Shilin, that is, the hope of the future of the Ming Dynasty!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Wan Shiyu was ready to send Liaodong scholars to Guannei to carry out propaganda in the name of study tours, and the people arranged by Ji Gang also went on the road, and he had arranged for someone to secretly go to Liaodong to get Xia Xun's black materials, this time in order to ensure success, he sent people to Shenyang Wei to contact Arutai, and to Wara to contact Wan Songling, trying to create more incriminating evidence and take Xia Xun down in one fell swoop.
At the same time, he naturally would not give up the Jiangnan Shilin that could be used, and he wrote a personal letter to Shen Wendu, asking Shen Wendu to use the Jiangnan Shiren to create greater public opinion that was unfavorable to Xia Xun.
After Shen Wendu took refuge in Ji Gang, he used Ji Gang's power and his shrewd mind to earn countless wealth for Ji Gang. In this process, Shen Wendu himself also made a fortune, although he is still not able to catch up with the extent that his father Shen Wansan was rich back then, he is already one of the few rich people in Jiangnan.
Huaibei Salt Farm, Pan's house.
Old Man Pan Qiren Pan sat on the main seat, but on the guest seat sat a white-faced bearded young man, and under him sat a middle-aged man who did not look amazing, with a harmless smile on his face. The white-faced bearded young man crossed Erlang's legs and drank tea slowly. It was the middle-aged man under him who spoke.
"Old man Pan, Shen Wendu has repeatedly blackmailed you, causing you to lose a huge amount of money, and we have found out this matter clearly. The two Huai Salt Factories are respected by Mr. Pan, and we know the shrewdness of Mr. Pan. I believe you will not be so willing to blackmail others without leaving a little evidence. Hehe, leaving evidence, of course, is to keep it for a big effect one day. Now, our factory supervisor has come in person. This sincerity and this weight are enough, right? ”
Pan Qinian was silent, and Chen Dong leaned over slightly. There was a chestnut light in his eyes: "Old Man Pan thinks that we can't deal with Jinyiwei in Dongchang?" ”
Pan Qinian has always been very well maintained, and now he is over seventy years old, looking at his face, it is still as moisturized as fifty years, but most of his hair and beard are white.
Pan Qinian sighed softly and said, "Lord Qianhu." It's not that the old man refuses to help, there is really no evidence, that Shen Wendu is asking for salt under the banner of Ji Gang. It's just a matter of one sentence, how dare the old man ask him for a warrant? If you talk about human witnesses, you only need a false accusation. I can't afford it at an old age! ”
Mu En frowned, faintly angry.
Pan Qinian stroked his beard, glanced at Mu En and Chen Dong quickly, and said to himself: "I heard that ......, our Ming Dynasty took advantage of the opportunity of the battle between the two tigers of Tatar and Warat in the north to take advantage of the situation and subdue these two tigers. Ji Gang has made great efforts and made great contributions in it, and the factory and the thousands of adults are loyal to the country and are bent on eliminating traitors, and they are admired by the old man. However, Ji Gang is in full swing, and he will meet his edge, and the wise man will not take it......"
"Hahahaha......"
When Mu En heard that he was scrupling about this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "The factory is from Jinling to Beijing on business, passing through here, thinking of visiting Mr. Pan, or providing some strong evidence for the factory to bring down the power and rape, it seems that the old man Pan still can't trust me!" ”
Pan Qinian hurriedly bowed and said: "The factory is serious, how dare you be old!" ”
Mu En smiled and glanced at Chen Dong and said, "Take that thing out and show it to Mr. Pan!" ”
Chen Dong hesitated: "Factory father? ”
Mu En nodded, gently flicked the tea leaves, and lowered his head to take a sip.
Chen Dong hesitated for a moment before taking out something from his arms, wrapped it in several layers of soft cowhide made of nitrate, and tied it with silk. Chen Dong tore open the silk tape, lifted the cowhide layer by layer, and took out something from it.
Pan Qinian looked at it curiously, not knowing what they were going to take out, but when he saw it, it was a letter.
Chen Dong took the letter in his hand and looked at Mu En, who raised his chin lightly and said, "Let Mr. Pan take a look!" ”
has been the factory supervisor for so long, even if it is a pig, it should cultivate a kind of momentum of a superior person, not to mention that Mu En can wait in front of the emperor, and Zhu Di is trusted to take charge of the East Factory, and now every move has its own prestige. Chen Dong didn't dare to disobey, so he presented the letter to Pan Qinian with both hands.
Pan Yanshang took it curiously, looked down at the cover, and was taken aback, stood up suddenly, and said in a daze: "This ...... This is the Emperor's Tantra! How dare the grass people look at it, please take it back quickly, take it back quickly! ”
Mu En waved his hand and said, "Hey! The factory tells you to see, you will watch. Isn't this piece not yet handed to the emperor, look! ”
"This ......"
Pan Qinian was still panicked, but Mu En didn't look up at him.
When Chen Dong saw it, he said: "The factory tells you to see it, so you can watch it." Write this chapter in advance, how to word, what crimes and evidence to list, the factory master and I and other East Factory stalls carefully discussed, when this chapter was written, it was written by the master of the factory master, and there are few people who have seen it? Now that the concert has not yet entered the palace gate, the factory tells you to see, you can see it! ”
Pan Qinian, the largest salt merchant in Lianghuai and the richest country, ushered in many high-ranking officials on weekdays, but he was a well-informed figure, although he was a little frightened when he saw the recital to the emperor, he was not like a dirt bun to make a fuss, and the emperor's panicked memories were deliberately contrived, and now when he heard Chen Dong say this, he no longer insisted.
Pan Qinian opened the letter, took out the secret excerpt, held it in his hand, first looked at the sky and bowed three times, and then unfolded, squinting his presbyopia eyes and looking at it carefully, Old Man Pan saw it quickly, and after reading a few lines of text, his face changed slightly. Looking at a few more lines, he let out a soft cry of "ah", and actually stopped, looked at Mu En in shock, and then looked at Chen Dong, and said: "Actually...... Is there such a thing? ”
Chen Dong smiled slightly. "We've got solid evidence, what do you say?" ”
When Pan Qinian heard this, his face suddenly became cloudy.
Mu En said slowly: "With this one alone, he can be condemned to death!" It's just that since he has done a lot of evil. He will show all his charges to the world, so that all the subjects of the world will know that he is guilty of death! What's more, these charges can kill Ji Gang. But he can't kill many of his henchmen, at least that Shen Wendu will become a fish that has slipped through the net, but if you Mr. Pan give evidence, then it will be otherwise! ”
Pan Qinian's heart only flashed quickly, and his expression became resolute, and he shouted outside the hall: "Someone! ”
The steward of the Pan family flashed in from outside, Pan Qinian beckoned him to the front and whispered a few words, and then took out a bunch of keys from his waist and handed them to him. The steward nodded, and walked out briskly. Mu En and Chen Dong glanced at each other, with a happy look on their faces.
It takes a moment. The steward of the Pan family hurriedly came back from outside with a brocade box in his hand, looking at his panting appearance. It must be running back and forth, Pan Qinian took the brocade box, put it on the table, took off a goldfish from his waist, reached out and pressed the fish's eye, popped out a hook-shaped key from the fish's mouth, and carefully opened the brocade box, the box was empty, only a piece of paper folded in half was placed at the bottom of the box.
Pan Qinian took out the piece of paper from the box, opened it and looked at it, then raised it respectfully, and said: "This warrant has been carefully kept for six years, and I will hand it over to the factory today!" ”
Chen Dong took the piece of paper and looked at it, his face was even more happy, and he turned around and presented it to Mu En, who laughed loudly when he saw it, got up with a smile, and said to Pan Qinian: "Mr. Pan, Guotong III, some bad karma has not yet been retributed, that is because the time has not come, the time has come, and the retribution will naturally come!" You can rest assured! In the future, this surnamed Shen will never bother you again, hahahaha......"
Mu En turned around and left, Chen Dong followed with a knife, Pan Qinian smiled and arched his hand, he also believed that the Shen family wolf who came to Pan's house from time to time to suck a few mouthfuls of blood and gnaw a piece of meat would never come to disturb him again.

Mu En lives in a local inn, which is the concentration of the two Huai salt fields, salt merchants from all over the country from the south to the north, large and small merchants gather here all the year round, so the inn business is very prosperous, there are dozens of the most high-end inns, they live in one of them, can not attract anyone's attention.
As soon as he returned to the inn, a Dongchang fan came in to report: "Factory father, we were ordered to monitor Shen Wendu, and found that people from afar came to visit us!" ”
Shen Wendu is in the Lianghuai Salt Farm at the moment, he has a lot of business for Ji Gang, but the biggest source of wealth is the salt farm, so he has to stay here for most of the year, the owner takes a bite, the West family bites, everyone hates him to the bone, but they dare not offend him.
Now he has a house in the land and is married to an outer chamber. Since Mu En received Xia Xun's secret letter, he began to deploy an all-out reconnaissance of Ji Gang, and Shen Wendu was already under their close surveillance.
After listening to the report, Mu En asked, "Have you ever found out the identity of the person who came?" ”
Na Fanzi smiled slightly and said: "That guest came from the north, judging from his demeanor, the ** of the ten is the person of Jinyiwei!" ”
When Mu En heard this, he paced up in the room, Chen Dong's eyes followed his figure, and seeing that he was silent for a long time, he couldn't help but ask, "Gonggong, what do you think we should do?" Is it pretending not to know, or is it ......"
Mu En stood up and said in a deep voice, "Grab it!" ”
Mu En stretched one hand into a claw, and then clenched it into a fist fiercely: "Grab them all, and don't let go of any of them!" ”
Chen Dong reminded: "Factory Gong, the emperor has not yet made an order, in case something is not caught, you can see if it is ......."
Mu En shook his head and said coldly: "Jinyiwei has always been high-flying, and now, it's our turn to raise our eyebrows!" Go! I gave all the snakes, insects, rats and ants in Shen Wendu's house to the factory! With all his evil deeds, even if he is a poor mountain, he will be knocked down this time! ”
P: It's 10,000 again, and then ask for a monthly pass
