Emperor Chongzhen, who was in the palace, heard this information through eavesdropping seeds, and immediately remembered the information about Chen Xinjia, the governor of Xuanda, in the memory of the original Emperor Chongzhen.

Chen Xinjia, in the 36th year of Wanli, was first awarded the governor of Dingzhou.

In the first year of Chongzhen, he became a member of the Criminal Department, entered Langzhong, and prepared for military affairs before moving to Ning. This official position, Yuan Chonghuan has done, similar to the position of Ning Qian's commander, who governs the army, including money and food, and so on.

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Dalinghe New City fell, and Chen Xinjia was originally dismissed from office, but there were many people to protect him, including the outer court and eunuchs, and he was finally promoted and became the deputy envoy of Ningqian's military armament.

Chongzhen for seven years, promoted to the right of the imperial history, governor Xuanfu. That is to say, this year, he is the governor of Xuanfu, and he already belongs to the feudal officials of the Ming Dynasty.

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, he was recommended by Yang Sichang, the right attendant of the military department and the right servant of the imperial history, the governor Xuanda, became the governor of Xuanda, and took over the position of Lu Xiangsheng, who went home to mourn.

One is just lifting people, but he can achieve such a high position. And his merits are only general, what kind of rectification of armaments is good, etc., it is okay to fool Emperor Chongzhen at that time, but he from later generations can only sneer at this. If this is the case, why do you still suffer defeats repeatedly? As far as this Chen Xinjia is concerned, is there one thing that can leave a name in the world?

Emperor Chongzhen has read a time-traveling novel, and he has to be reminded of this, and from the original impression of Emperor Chongzhen, he also remembered a person, who was also an official from a high background, called Zuo Yingxuan, but Chen Xinjia's experience was in stark contrast.

In the second year of Chongzhen, when Jianyu invaded the land of Gyeonggi for the first time, Jianyu attacked the city and plundered the land in Guannai, Yongping, Jizhen and so on fell one after another, but Zuo Yingxuan held Changli, which can be said to be a very sensational and conspicuous event at that time. But even so, he was only promoted to the Jizhou Military Reserve Dao Shandong according to the Judge, and Chen Xinjia became the Ningqian Military Commander in a position.

But then, because it was only from a person's background, it was not allowed to be an official from a jinshi. You know, at this time in the late Ming Dynasty, people who were born in Jinshi don't know how many people are waiting in line to be officials.

Therefore, Zuo Yingxuan was finally impeached by Zhou Yanru, who was already the first assistant at the time, at the instigation of the Zhili Inspector and the Imperial Shi Gan Xuekuo and the Shuntian Governor Fu Zonglong.

From this comparison, combined with Wang Chengen's previous revelations about the background of buying officials in the Ming officialdom, Emperor Chongzhen can immediately conclude that this Chen Xinjia definitely has a lot of money to open the way for him, so that he can be in the position of the Ming feudal official.

The governor of Xuanfu, the governor of Xuanda, and Emperor Chongzhen thought about these official positions, and inevitably, he connected Chen Xinjia with those Jin merchants.

Thinking of these things, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Jin merchants smuggled and captured prisoners, and it was impossible to hide this kind of thing from the local garrison and officials. After all, Jin Shang is not a small fight, and it is impossible to cover it up no matter how much it is covered. But it would be unrealistic to say that all the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty in the Jin land were bought by the Jin merchants or colluded with them.

For example, Lu Xiangsheng also served as the governor of Xuanda, but the policies he used in office were harmful to the local heroes. Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of the Xuanfu under his command, was also fighting a bloody battle with the Manchu army, so it was unlikely that they would have any collusion with the Jin merchants!

Also, Yang Sichang also served as the governor of Xuanda, so will he have a problem? Thinking of his strategy of first reassuring the outside world, and remembering that he recommended Chen Xinjia, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but put a question mark on Yang Sichang?

As for Chen Xinjia, Emperor Chongzhen was eighty percent sure that he was in collusion with Jin Shang.

Thinking of this, he came back to his senses and continued to look at the news that the eavesdropping seed had fed back.

In the Yang Mansion, after Yang Sichang read Chen Xinjia's letter, his face was a little unsightly.

Liu Meicai saw it and wanted to ask, but this was in the Yang Mansion, not in the Yamen, and it was obviously a private letter, so he didn't want to ask. Therefore, he thought for a while, and suddenly had an idea: "Yang Gebu, Governor Chen should also be like-minded people like us, right?" Otherwise, for the sake of the livelihood of the world, we will play together and revisit the strategy of the Yang Pavilion Department? ”

Yang Sichang listened, nodded and said: "He just heard that the emperor has re-promoted Lu Xiang to be the secretary of the military department and wrote a letter to this official about re-commanding the world's soldiers and horses." He also has a lot of opinions about the repetition of the imperial court. If the letter had passed, he would have been able to play the emperor, and there was no problem with that. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Sichang seemed to have a conclusion in his heart, and said to Liu Meicai: "But this matter is urgent!" After all, it was the emperor who could not coexist with the Manchus. After waiting for a few days, Lu Xiangsheng still has no way to take the Manchu army, and the people in the world have been suffering from military disasters. ”

When Liu Meicai heard it, she immediately smiled and praised: "Wonderful, wonderful!" It is worthy of the Yang Pavilion Department, and he has a deep understanding of the emperor's thoughts, and the lower officials also think it is so wonderful! ”

After setting such a tone, the two sides took their leave after a few more casual conversations.

After Liu Meicai went back, she conveyed Yang Sichang's words to Fan Fu, who stayed in his house and waited for the news, and after saying something more, he sent Fan Fu out.

At this time, it was already dark, and Fan Fu hurriedly turned back to the money village. He didn't expect that someone would follow him, so he went in directly.

"Fan Ji Qian Zhuang!" Liu Yue, the general banner of Jinyi Wei, read out the name of the signboard in a low voice, and said a little excitedly, "This is in line with what the commander explained, and it was from Jin Shang." However, the background is very deep, and it seems that there are many important ministers in the court who protect this money bank. ”

Several of his subordinates were also excited, and the progress made in commanding the things that the adults attached great importance to, and if they made a meritorious return, they would be promoted quickly.

"Liu Er, you go back to meet with the commander, tell us what we found, and then ask for instructions on what to do next?" Liu Yue instructed one of his subordinates, "Do you arrest people directly, or continue the secret investigation, and what is the main thing to investigate?" ”

In this way, Li Ruolian got the news, and he couldn't make the decision, so he went to the palace to meet him, and fed back the situation to Emperor Chongzhen.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, this so-called Engong, who nominally represented the majority of merchants, was actually really a Jin merchant, so it was not such a simple motive. Combined with history, Emperor Chongzhen can conclude that the Jin merchants are making waves behind the scenes, which is definitely related to Tongyu, not whether they can do business or not!

However, some things are not clear, for example, which officials have connections with this Jin businessman? There is collusion? Is there a conspiracy? And what else is there in the industry of Jin merchants? What are they doing now? And so on, once the arrest is carried out, many things may not be clear.

Thinking so, Emperor Chongzhen decided not to startle the snake for the time being. However, it is necessary to monitor, and the most practical thing is to monitor through eavesdropping seeds.

Thinking of this, he had an idea.
