It's the most ruthless emperor's family!

In order to fill in the millions of usury, Zhu Cijiong, the king of Daming loans, actually thought of betraying his brother!

It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty not only has Zhu Cijiong, the loan king who doesn't care about his brotherhood, but also has a loyal third minister, Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui's current life is much more difficult than Zhu Cijiong's, although Zhu Cijiong has pulled a butt of Hades' account. But he was the king of the Ming Dynasty and the half-brother of Emperor Hongxing. Although Zhu Cixiong has a local tyrant, Zhu Cijiong's succession to the throne has been greatly discounted, but his vassal king is still there.

But what about Wu Sangui?

He was the lord of the green flag in the Qing Dynasty, the king of Pingxi, and the general of Pingxi. At that time, although he was poor, he had the title to rule Ganshan. Doama was anxious in the east, and he didn't have the heart to take care of Gan Shaanxi, so he naturally could do whatever he wanted.

And Wu Sangui didn't owe so much usury at that time!

But now, although Wu Sangui has progressed from a second minister to a third minister, his status as a ruler in the northwest has not yet come down, and Zhu Cihong has only made him a Duke of Jin - this duke was still sealed by Zhu Cihong in the name of the prince of Fujun before Wu Sangui defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In other words, now he has only restored his original title, and has not given him the Shaanxi and Gansu lands occupied by Wu Sangui.

So I don't know if Wu Sangui can continue to be the king of the northwest!

And in order to appease the group of thousands of households below him who had lost their blood capital in the monk's original, Wu Sangui also borrowed more than 2 million taels of usury from the Jin merchants and Shaanxi merchants protected by Zhu Cijiong before he rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and defected to the Ming Dynasty! In addition to the usury borrowed before, it was only 2 million taels and three cents a month, that is, almost 70,000 taels, and the interest to be repaid every day was as high as more than 2,000 taels of silver.

As soon as Wu Sangui opened his eyes every day, he had more than 2,000 taels of Hades debts on his body! Can you not worry?

What if Zhu Cihong doesn't let him be the king of the northwest, and refuses to admit the debt he owes to the king of Hades?

These days, Lao Wu is dying!

Just when he and his henchmen from the Guanning Army were in a hurry every day, someone suddenly sent a letter to Wu Sangui's Jin State Mansion and reported a shocking case - Zhu Cihuan, the fifth prince of the Five Princes, and Gao Yushun, the leader of the eunuch party, were going to Yan'an through the ground of Xi'an Mansion to seek refuge with Zhu Cijiong, the acting king...... Of course, Wu Sangui had never received a secret letter from Gao Yushun, but his younger brother Wu Sanfu had been investigating the matter, and also inquired about Gao Yushun's plan to protect Zhu Cihuan and Yuan Guifei to defect to Zhu Cijiong, the acting king. So he sent someone to report Wu Sangui secretly and asked him to pay attention to interception.

This is a huge problem to Wu Sangui.

Is this Zhu Cihuan and Gao Yushun the Emperor Chongzhen behind them? Is there any collusion with His Royal Highness the Acting King? Did you go to the emperor on the orders of the emperor? If they are caught, will there be a war with the king?

"Guogong, since someone has told us about this, we can't ignore it."

"Yes, Guogong, paper can't hold the fire...... The brocade guards of the imperial court are so powerful, if we ignore them, the emperor will know sooner or later. ”

"Uncle, when the time comes, it will be difficult for the third sister to gain a foothold in front of the emperor......"

In the kilometers of the Jin Kingdom within the city of Xi'an, Wu Sangui's henchmen all have the same meaning, that is, to arrest people!

After arresting Zhu Cihuan and Gao Yushun, you can show loyalty to Zhu Cihong in Nanjing! If you show your loyalty, you should be able to become the king of the northwest, and most of the usury can also have a solution......

Seeing that his henchmen all meant the same thing, Wu Sangui set his eyes on Liu Sheng again.

Liu Sheng stood up violently and saluted Wu Sangui: "Guogong, the lower official will lead the troops to arrest him!" ”

Wu Sangui nodded: "I'll leave it to you...... Remember, you must not hurt the five princes, Yuan Guifei and Gao Yushun. Especially Gao Yushun! The fifth prince is still young, and Yuan Guifei is a female streamer, and the only one who can explain this matter clearly is Gao Gonggong! ”

"My subordinates understand." Liu Sheng nodded heavily.

Understand and understand, but it is not so easy to catch Gao Gonggong! Because Gao Yushun is still in Chongqing Mansion! Where is Liu Sheng going to catch him?

And Zhu Cihuan and Yuan Guifei, under the escort of Song Xiance's son Song Qingtian, left Chongqing, went to Hanzhong to enter Guanzhong, entered Fengxiang Mansion, and then chartered an inn in Fengxiang Mansion to stay. After settling Yuan Guifei and Zhu Cihuan, Song Qingtian went to Xi'an to submit a book.

So what Liu Sheng held was Yuan Guifei and Zhu Cihuan, who had arranged for him to be arrested in advance - it turned out that Emperor Zhu's brocade guards might be really powerful in the southeast. But on the territory of Wu Sangui in the northwest, there is no foundation.

And Song Xiance saw this loophole and smeared the eye medicine on Zhu Cihong, Zhu Cijiong, Wu Sangui and Emperor Chongzhen.

After being arrested, no, it should be that after inviting Zhu Cihuan, who didn't know anything, and Yuan Guifei, who was frightened, to Xi'an Mansion, Wu Sangui put the two under house arrest, and at the same time found someone to draw their portraits, plus the tokens they carried, including the order issued by Zhu Cihong to Yuan Guifei that day (she was not allowed to commit suicide and asked her to take care of Zhu Cihuan) and asked Liu to send them to Nanjing to show Zhu Cihong on the night of his birthday.

And Liu Sheng came to Nanjing before and after, as well as Luo Xiushen sent by Zhu Cihong to be by the side of Zhu Cijiong, the acting king - Zhu Cijiong's eyes and ears in Xi'an are comparable to Jinyi Wei psychic, and many Shaanxi businessmen have debts with the acting king's mansion, so they naturally have to act as eyes and ears.

So Wu Sangui got the news of the Five Princes, Yuan Guifei and Gao Yushun, and they heard about it almost immediately...... Yes, in the news they learned, Gao Yushun was arrested!

This time, Zhu Cijiong and the people around him couldn't sit still, Tian Cunzhi immediately left for Xi'an, wanting to meet Gao Yushun - he had to ask what happened!

But the problem is that Wu Sangui doesn't have Gao Yushun in his hands...... But he said no, Tian Cunzhi can do it? Can Acting King Zhu Cijiong be trusted?

They are all good brothers of the emperor's family!

......

"There is really no Gao Gonggong in the hands of the Duke of Jin...... The minister personally asked, Gao Gonggong was the first to stand in Chongqing Mansion and leave first! Maybe, maybe go to the king......"

"Liu Sheng, don't talk nonsense, the acting king has never seen Gao Yushun...... Not at all! ”

In the East Warm Pavilion of the Forbidden City in Nanjing, Liu Sheng and Luo Xiu were arguing loudly in front of Zhu Cihong.

These two people were originally considered to be Emperor Zhu's people, but are they still now? The two of them have been following Wu Sangui and Zhu Cijiong for more than four years, almost five years, and this kindness is not less, right? Now I should also speak for Wu Sangui and Zhu Cijiong......

In other words, on the issue of Gao Yushun's whereabouts, neither of them can be fully trusted...... Of course, the biggest possibility is that Gao Yushun is still detained in the Dashun Army!

"What is the relationship between the Duke of Jin and the Acting King?" Zhu Cihong lowered his voice, "Is it possible to work together?" Ma Shiying, the governor of Sichuan, was in a hurry, and Chengdu was about to fail. Although I sent troops along the Yangtze River and the Han River, neither of those roads was a convenient way into Sichuan. Since ancient times, it is easier to take Bashu from north to south! ”

Liu Sheng shook his head: "Emperor, the Jin Kingdom lost too much in the Monk Yuan, and it took usury to appease the more than 300,000 households under his command...... Now if the following thousands of households are asked to send troops to attack Sichuan, I am afraid that it will not work without two or three million. ”

Yes, it all scared Zhang Xianzhong's four sons!

Moreover, there is a severe drought in Guanzhong this year, the grain output has been seriously reduced, and the internal instability of each thousand households is also unstable, and the people on the territory where they are stationed are also unstable!

"The acting king can't send troops...... The acting king has more debts, and he has relied on loans to maintain the situation on Luliang Mountain in recent years. Luo Xiushen said, "There is a loan and a repayment, and it is not difficult to borrow again......"

What a good brother!

Emperor Zhu said in his heart: Millions of usury can't be settled by himself, and he has to find my brother...... This Third Prince Zhu is not worthy of his name!

"Then there is no need to send troops," Zhu Cihong sighed, "Let's let the Liukou be comfortable in Sichuan for a few years, fortunately, Sichuan has never been the home of the emperor...... As for the debts of the acting king and the prince of Jin, let them take the creditors to Wuhan and wait, and I will settle them for them. ”
