The captain of the brocade guard, who had been waiting for a long time on the side, immediately pounced like a wolf.

Chen Xinjia was stupid on the spot, and it felt like he was in a dream. When the captain of the Jinyi Guard raised his arm and was about to drag him out, he came back to his senses, and immediately struggled unwillingly, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, wronged, wronged, Weichen is loyal to the country, and there is no slackness, why slander Weichen for plotting rebellion......"

"Hehe, I still refuse to admit my guilt! Or do you simply think that betraying the country is not a rebellion, but just making some money? Emperor Chongzhen sneered and said, "Those people and soldiers who were indirectly killed by you are really blind!" ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at the Jinyi guard officer who was in charge, and ordered him: "Serve him well every day, and breathe for those who are blind to death!" ”

At this time, Chen Xinjia was like five thunderbolts, because it was obvious that the emperor already knew about the business between the Jin merchants and the Liaodong Jianyu, and even knew more. If he did have what Emperor Chongzhen said before, it was actually just making money, but at this time, this matter was said by Emperor Chongzhen, it was really a rebellion.

Thinking of this, he struggled frantically, and shouted loudly: "Wronged, Weichen is wronged, bent into a trick, the world has its own justice, the future generations have their own justice, Your Majesty is wise, but you must not be bewitched by villains......"

The Jinyi guard officer didn't see Emperor Chongzhen explain again, so he let his subordinates drag Chen Xinjia away, leaving only his unwilling voice echoing in the hall.

After a while, the hall fell silent.

Chen Baoting, the personal attendant, was a little puzzled, and he usually had to be taught by the emperor, saying that if there was something he didn't understand, he could ask when he was not busy. Therefore, he couldn't help it, and couldn't help but ask Emperor Chongzhen, who was thinking about the question: "Your Majesty, this thief Chen is so hard-mouthed, why don't you show him the evidence, so that he can understand that Your Majesty has not wronged him!" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "This kind of traitor, I don't know how many people have been killed." How can he be so cheap. didn't show him the evidence, let him feel that there was still hope, and turned around Jinyiwei to greet him, with that persistence, it could last longer, and let him taste the opportunity to be imprisoned. When I have caught all these traitors and made them public, I will show evidence to let him understand that there are gods in the things he has done, and if he wants people to know about them, he can't do anything unless he does it! ”

Hearing this, thinking that Chen Xinjia gritted his teeth and insisted on refusing to admit his guilt for a glimmer of hope, and when he had enough of the punishment, he suddenly found that there was no hope at all, and he would probably spit out a mouthful of blood!

Thinking like this, Chen Baoting felt a burst of happiness in his heart. These traitors should let them taste the pain of the world! After death, go down to eighteen layers of hell to suffer!

He was thinking about it, but Emperor Chongzhen stood up and said to them: "Take these things and set up the Imperial Horse Prison Barracks!" In addition, Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, and Sun Chuanting were sent along! There are also Cao Huachun, the commander of Dongchang, and Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, all of whom went to the Yumajian military camp to see me. ”

When Chen Baoting and the others heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward, packed up all the things on the imperial case, and immediately sent someone to pass on the emperor's edict to inform Lu Hongsun and the two factory guards to go.

Hong Chengchou was the first to rush over, originally he thought that the emperor's new appointment to him was coming down, and he was a little excited and curious when he thought about it. What kind of official position is it that has not been announced until now?

However, when he saw that the chamberlain had led him to the Imperial Horse Warden barracks, he was a little skeptical of his judgment. He wondered in his heart: It's a little different, what is the emperor going to do when he comes to this barracks? It's impossible to continue to lead troops to war, right? I have not heard of any recent battle in which these three battalions are to be dispatched.

At the gate of the barracks, he also met Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, who just arrived, so Hong Chengchou was even more confused, because the new official positions of Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting had actually been decided. In other words, it should have nothing to do with official positions or anything.

Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting were also a little confused. However, there were chamberlains, and the three of them were not easy to talk about, so they rushed to the Yamen of the Imperial Horse Supervisor to see Emperor Chongzhen.

The owner of the imperial horse eunuch, Wang Chengen, the eunuch with the palm seal, was a vase as always, and he accompanied Emperor Chongzhen. What surprised them a little was that since the reorganization of the three major battalions, the supervisors of each battalion originally went back to the palace. But at this time, they are all accompanied by the driver, and there is no shortage of people.

With such a neat place, is there another war?

Thinking so, Lu Hongsun and the three hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw the three of them coming, he just nodded and signaled, his face was serious and he didn't say much. The atmosphere in the lobby is a bit solemn.

That is, the kung fu of the front and rear feet, the three battalions and the eight general soldiers got the will, and they also rushed to the Yamen of the Imperial Horse Prison. During this time, because they had just accepted a lot of recruits, of course, they also competed with each other, and they all wanted to train these recruits as soon as possible, so they were all busy, even if they came immediately after receiving the order, it was a little late.

In their impression, Emperor Chongzhen has always been relatively kind to them. However, at this time, they saw that the emperor had a serious face, and it was such a large lineup, not only the battalion supervisors, but even the three commanders of the Yuanqin Wang army, this meeting was even more extraordinary. Therefore, the eight generals also gathered their minds and stepped forward to salute one by one.

Emperor Chongzhen waited for them to finish their salutes, and then stood on the left and right. Just waited a little longer, Cao Huachun and Li Ruolian also arrived together. Seeing this scene, I was equally surprised. However, Li Ruolian's side, because he already knew just now that Governor Xuanda was imprisoned, so he knew that there was a big event, so it was a little better. But at this time, no matter how much you know, you will stand up solemnly.

In the lobby, the atmosphere is invisibly a little serious and tense. Although there were many people, they could not even hear the sound of breathing.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that the people had arrived, glanced underneath, and said solemnly: "Do you know from all the Qings, why did Jianyu rise in Liaodong?" Why has my Ming Dynasty been defeated repeatedly? Why did Jianyu take a bitter cold place in Liaodong, but it cost my Ming Dynasty to increase my salary year after year, and I was so powerless that these Jianyu could wreak havoc in the Guan? ”

Hearing the emperor's questioning one after another, these people present, including civil officials, eunuchs, or these general soldiers with troops, could of course answer some of them. For example, the army is not well trained, such as insufficient military salaries, and so on, but there are some questions that they cannot answer, and they also have doubts.

Just like all the people and officials of the Ming Dynasty, who would take the barbarians in the cold land seriously at the beginning, it was nothing more than the same as other barbarians, tossing and tossing in the borderlands, if the court really wanted to be attentive, it was not possible to destroy these barbarians in minutes.

However, Liaodong Jianyu is getting stronger and stronger, and now it is even stronger enough to often enter the customs and plunder, while the Ming army has almost no power to fight back. I have to say that Liaodong Jianyu is really different from the barbarians in other places, which makes them puzzled and shocked.

Emperor Chongzhen knew that it was impossible for them to answer all their questions, so he didn't need them to answer, so he immediately said: "It's because I have people in the Ming Dynasty who have been captured and sold contraband materials to Liaodong, and it is not just a little bit, but you can't imagine it, and they also brought the news of my Ming army, officialdom news, and garrison situation to Jianyu......

Hearing this, except for the personal attendant who had already known the news in advance, everyone else couldn't help but be surprised. No matter how much they thought about it, they didn't expect the emperor to say such surprising news.

Cao Huachun even remembered that Emperor Chongzhen had this kind of suspicion before, and asked him to check it, and he also raised it in the court. But the ministers objected to the suggestion that there was a spy, and then the matter faded. Unexpectedly, the emperor did say it categorically at this time, there should be conclusive evidence.

Thinking so, he immediately peeked at the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and couldn't help but feel depressed in his heart, such a great credit was actually done by the Jinyi Guard?

Cao Huachun naturally didn't know, but Li Ruolian had similar thoughts in his heart at this time, thinking that the East Factory had seized the news.

While they were thinking, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "The rebellion I have been talking about before refers to these people! These insects living in the body of the Ming Dynasty, for their own selfishness, have been supporting the enemy, strengthening the enemy, how many soldiers have died on the battlefield for unknown reasons, how many people have been separated from their wives and families, and how many people do not know until they die, among the people who harm them, there is such a group of moths. On the land of Liaodong, how many Han people have been sleeping for a long time. Not to mention, just this time the prisoners entered the customs, and millions of people were persecuted? ”

"If it weren't for them, the court wouldn't be embarrassed by this; If it weren't for them, Daming wouldn't have left so many people without a way to live, and it wouldn't have been incapable, letting thieves ravage the Central Plains, and leaving the entire Daming in turmoil......"

In the original history, not many people knew about this at all. If it weren't for the fact that after the Manchu Emperor entered the customs, in order to commend their merits, he sealed the eight imperial merchants, and it was really money earned by them, and the reputation was not bad, then it would be really cheap for them!

At least in later generations, they were condemned to the pillar of shame in history. Of course, in this plane, it's more than that.

Listening to the emperor's words, Sun Chuanting frowned slightly. Those grain merchants who were arrested actually had such high means? Your Majesty, is it an exaggeration?

He was not alone in this idea, but the other two people also had it, and even these people present had it. However, the emperor was talking, and no one dared to interrupt, but they all listened silently.

However, Sun Chuanting's temperament was a little straighter, and when he heard the emperor speak, he saw him salute the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, as far as those grain merchants, how can they be so capable?" Once these things are spread, I am afraid that no one in the DPRK and China will believe them! ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at him, and immediately shook his head and said, "Sun Qing is wrong, these grain merchants arrested by Jingshi are only a very small part. Behind them, they are all Jin merchants, and those who collude with Jin merchants are also important ministers in the court. So, what is it possible to do such a thing? ”

Hearing this, almost everyone was taken aback. Jin merchants? And the important ministers of the DPRK? This news can be said to be very shocking news for them.

However, relatively speaking, Lu Xiangsheng's shock was relatively small. Because he was the governor of Xuanda, those Jin merchants wanted to bribe him, but he naturally refused. After he implemented the policy of adjusting the grain, the relationship between the two sides deteriorated even further.

For those Jin merchants, he probably counted. After the emperor said that, he immediately remembered the geographical location of Shanxi, which is indeed very easy to smuggle.

"Far from it, let's just say that this time, those Jin merchants have hoarded a large amount of grain and grass materials in advance, and they will be able to make a lot of money after Jianlu plunders enough people to go to Liaodong." Emperor Chongzhen said hatefully, "Others don't know, just these Jin merchants, they can't wait to build the more wealth looted in the pass, the better, and the more people who are plundered, the better, because in this way, they can make a fortune!" ”

"Why did Jianyu suddenly go south to Jinan Mansion this time, and why did he attack it again? Just a group of Liaodong Tatars, how much can they know about the situation in the pass? Emperor Chongzhen replied to himself with a cold feeling, "It is because some Jin merchants are reporting news, and when they heard that the war in Jianyu was unfavorable, they even rushed to the Jianyu army in person to offer advice and advice." In the middle of this, I also thought about asking Lu Qing to bear the charge of losing the Zhongqing, and let me surrender to Lu Qing! ”

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng felt a chill rush to his head behind him. If it weren't for the emperor's wisdom, they would have come to this trick, then they would definitely have to bear this charge.

It's really no wonder, even if the court and the central government are fierce, the emperor has always followed this matter, neither investigating the responsibility for the loss of the clan, nor publicly disposing of himself, it turns out that he is waiting for this matter to be made public......

Thinking of all this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but be glad that he had met a good emperor again!

Emperor Chongzhen on the throne naturally did not hide it from these people below, and explained everything he knew.

When they heard that Chen Xinjia, the governor of Xuanda, was originally the spokesperson of the Jin merchants in the court, starting from the deputy envoy of the military garrison of Ningqian Dao, he used money to open the way for him, and finally became the feudal official of the Ming Dynasty, and Yang Sichang, the auxiliary minister of the cabinet, was also used by them to exclude dissidents in the court, etc., these people all opened their mouths one by one. They couldn't imagine how powerful this Jin merchant was. It is no wonder that they can learn the news of the Ming officialdom, as well as the news of the armies in various places, and so on.

Listening to these words, Cao Huachun sweated and was frightened. Not long after Li Ruolian became the commander of the Jinyi Guard, it was understandable that he couldn't find out. But he, the commander of the East Factory, has been in office for many years. Even he had a good relationship with some of them before.

The thought of this made him a little weak.

The soldiers present were all angry. At this time, they realized that the Ming army had not yet fought with Jianlu, and their old bottom had been seen through by Jianlu, so how could they fight?

Emperor Chongzhen said sternly at this time: "Since the beginning of the rebellion, there have always been Ming spies helping them. These spies are aiding and abusing, and they deserve death! Whether it's discovered or not, I'm going to make them pay an unbearable price! ”

After finishing speaking, he just nodded slightly, and Chen Baoting, who was standing on the side, immediately stepped forward, hung a piece of something on a screen, and placed it in the lobby.

Everyone looked at it and recognized it as a detailed map of the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, on which many places were marked with red circles, especially where Zhangjiakou was located, which was marked with a large circle.
