"I'm afraid it won't work."

Gao Guiying shook her head and rejected Chen Yang's proposal.

"If the prefect of Changsha wants to pay a salary, he must pay the silver in a lump sum."

This condition is actually acceptable to Chen Yang, but in order to behave more realistically, he acted as a problem: "I'm afraid I have to go back to the city to ask Dong Weng for instructions." ”

Gao Guiying nodded and said, "This is also how it should be." Come, send this strong man out of the camp. ”

Chen Yang didn't insist much, arched his hand at Gao Guiying and left with the soldiers.

After returning to the city, Chen Yang immediately came to the government to report the trip.

The prefect Zhao Hui was already in a hurry, and when he saw Chen Yang coming, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "How about it, can these thieves promise to leave Changsha Mansion?" ”

Chen Yang cleared his throat and said, "Don't panic, listen to a certain slowly." ”

Chen Yang picked up a cup of tea and moistened his throat and said: "This Shun army is the remnant of the just defeated army in Jiugong Mountain, and the leader is Li Zicheng's wife Gao Guiying. She said that she was willing to lead the army elsewhere, but she had to ask Dong Weng to help pay 100,000 taels, and she had to pay it all in one go. ”

"These thieves really have a lot of appetite."

This condition was within Zhao Hui's psychological tolerance, so although he sighed, he didn't show too much disappointment.

After all, Chen Yang also tried his best, and some things were not something he could control.

"Yes, I've tried my best, but this gang of thieves just won't let go, as if they have eaten Dong Weng."

Zhao Hui really realized what it means to be a knife and a fish at this moment. One size fits all, and others have the final say on where to cut and how to cut.

And Zhao Hui had to hold on with a smile.

This feeling is really frustrating.

"That's it, it's a lump sum payment. There are still 100,000 taels of silver. ”

"Dong Weng, there are less than 50,000 taels of silver left in the treasury."

Chen Yang reminded.

"What are you afraid of, this official just fills the hole here."

Chen Yang's mouth opened wide in surprise: "Dong Weng plans to pay out of his own pocket?" ”

"Of course not!"

Zhao Hui said coldly: "The official means to put this silver on the front first, and then make up for it later." ”

The two words of making up can be described as very mysterious.

Generally speaking, there are many ways to make up for it, and there are two most common ones, one is to be greedy for ink and tax silver, and the other is to confiscate merchants.

The former is risky and requires officials at all levels. The latter is basically risk-free, and only needs to find a reason.

And Zhao Hui has already thought about this.

That's collaborator!

Didn't Hao Shaoqi "snatch" a batch of grain before? It is just right to place the charges on some local grain merchants in Changsha.

The government justifiably imprisoned these grain merchants in the name of collaborating with the enemy, and then beheaded all the houses and confiscated all the family property, didn't this hole be filled?

Although the merchants in the Ming Dynasty amassed a lot of wealth, they did not have much ability to protect themselves.

As long as the government wants to, they may be ruined at any time.

The so-called county order that broke the family and destroyed the prefect of the door is not just talking.

Of course, it is not advisable to implicate too many people at a time, otherwise it will make people panic, and Zhao Hui will not be able to do well in the next term.

"Dong Weng, since this is the case, I will make it clear to those thieves again, you have already agreed to the conditions."

"Well, so be it. Hurry up and send away these plague gods, and the official can have a good old age. ”

...

...

Wen Anzhi was very excited when he learned that the Son of Heaven wanted to appoint him as the governor of Sichuan.

Although he has been very experienced in the Ministry of Rites these days, the affairs that can be handled are only some miscellaneous matters after all, and they have nothing to do with military affairs.

There is still a gap between this and Wen Anzhi's expectations.

And if he can be appointed as the governor of Sichuan, he will have the opportunity to show his strength.

What is the situation in Sichuan today?

That's a mess!

If Wen Anzhi can quickly cut through the chaos and put things right, it will be extremely beneficial to the imperial court and the entire southwest.

Li Zicheng is already dead, and if Zhang Xianzhong can also be exterminated, then the only enemy of the imperial court will be left with Dongyu.

Wen Anzhi believes that with the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, he will do his best to fight this battle, and there is no reason to lose.

After all, Donglu is only a small clan with very few Dingkou, and it is impossible to have an honest duel with Daming. If it weren't for Li Zicheng's attack on Beijing and the opportunity for Donglu to take Shanhaiguan, I'm afraid that these Jianguo would still be freezing and starving outside the pass.

Stealing chickens and dogs, fishing in troubled waters, this is what Dongyu has done for a year.

For the Ming Dynasty, the outside must first be at ease.

If there is internal chaos, it is impossible to work together to fight the external enemy.

Wen Anzhi has made up his mind that this time he must exterminate Zhang Xianzhong and recover Sichuan.

The military is a problem, though. The Son of Heaven promised to allocate a battalion of his Divine Army, but this was only 2,000 people.

Sichuan and Chongqing also have tens of thousands of horses, but Wen Anzhi may not be able to command the move. Most of these people were promoted by the former governor Chen Shiqi.

If Wen Anzhi wants to make a difference, he must make good use of this group of people.

Of course, even if Wen Anzhi leaves, it will have to be after the first month, and he still has time to think about it during this period.

He was taking stock of his official duties in the Ministry of Rites and preparing to make a deal with his successor, when an attendant came to the Ministry of Rites to announce Wen'an's entry into the palace to face the saint.

Wen Anzhi hurriedly put down what he was doing and followed the chamberlain into the palace.

No matter what, you can't let the Son of Heaven wait for a long time, this is against the duty of a minister.

The Ministry of Rites itself is in the Imperial City, and it is still very close to the Forbidden City.

Soon, Wen Anzhi followed the chamberlain into the palace.

The Son of Heaven specially gave him a shoulder ride, and Wen Anzhi couldn't refuse, so he sat up.

Walking all the way along the palace wall, it took a stick of incense to put it down.

"Lord Wen, Your Majesty is not in a very good mood, you should be careful."

The chamberlain reminded in a low voice.

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Wen Anzhi nodded gratefully.

He took a deep breath and walked into the temple with a shake of his robe.

At this moment, there are many braziers in the Qianqing Palace, so it is very warm.

Wen Anzhi came to Zhu Cihong and saluted, and was helped up by the Son of Heaven.

"Wen Aiqing, take a look at this secret recital."

Zhu Cihong sighed.

"Obey the order!"

Although Wen Anzhi was a little confused, he still took the note and looked at it.

As a result, he only read less than a hundred words and understood why the Son of Heaven was so angry.

"This Changsha prefect is really bold, he dares to be a thief!"

Wen Anzhi was indignant.

Zhu Cihong said coldly: "At first, I thought that Zhao Hui, the prefect of Changsha, wanted to recruit the rest of the Shun army, so I sent someone to contact them. ”

The Military Intelligence Department of the Inner Factory has made a total of two secret recitals on this matter, the first one only says that Zhao Hui and the Shun Army have contact, and the second one is in the hands of Zhu Cihong, whose words directly denounce Zhao Hui's evil deeds of collaborating with the enemy and treason!
