The next day.

"Look at it, this is the Li Sancai you are crying out for!"

Apocalypse said with a sneer.

His Majesty the Emperor, who had not seen other ministers for many days, suddenly issued an order to summon several chief officials of the cabinet, the Sixth Ministry, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then in front of the latter was Li Sancai's confession......

Yang Tongzhi's shot definitely worked.

Although Li Sancai is an old fox, but an old fox who is not sober, there is nothing to fear, Lao Li, who is in an extremely excited state, is deliberately provoked by Xu Xianchun, just like those who are drunk and crazy, while scolding this gelding dog bloodily, while arrogantly signing his name on the bubbled confession.

His son also signed.

It's just that under Xu Xianchun's coaxing, because the brain is no longer able to work normally, he is confused.

That's it.

The confession signed by Li Sancai's father and son, the confession of Wang Haoyi and his subordinates, the various messy forbidden items found by the Wang family, and the secret letters they contacted, what could be more sufficient......

"It can't be!"

Zuodu Yushi Zhang Wenda exclaimed.

He grabbed these things and looked at them in disbelief, and Liu Yixiu, a scholar next to him, also leaned forward with a pale face, Han Yi stood there with his head down, obviously having guessed the result, and among the other books, only Zhou Jiamo moved.

But in the end, he didn't come forward.

Obviously, this is a guy who is very hidden, during this period of time, the officials on the Ministry of Officials, the proportion of the Donglin Party is the largest, this is said to be a neutral official Shangshu has obviously been pulled over, he is from Huguang, and most of the grain purchased in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is from Huguang, there must be interests behind the scenes, in the case of the Nanzhili gentry controlling the vast majority of the silver in the Ming Dynasty, it is too easy to win over these officials from other provinces.

Just do business with his family.

Therefore, when the political party of the Ming Dynasty was fighting, it was common to see other provincial officials charging forward and behind the saddle for the Donglin Party, even more active than the people of Nanzhili, Li Sancai, as a merchant family whose ancestral home was in Zhangjiawan in Shaanxi, actually became the general of the Donglin Party in the north.

That's why.

The Donglin Party and the Nanzhili gentry behind them controlled the wealth and industrial goods, especially textiles, and they had the final say on who to do business with.

If you want to make money, you have to cooperate with them.

Especially for textiles, Nanzhili can be said to be close to monopoly.

Qi Jin said before that all the cotton on both sides of the canal is planted and transported south through the canal, because the gentry in the Luxi area lack the hydraulic advantage of developing the textile industry in the south, and the technology is also much worse, resulting in high costs and spinning by themselves, but it is better to sell cotton and then resell cotton cloth. It was not until entering our Qing Dynasty that the gentry in the Luxi area slowly acquired new textile technology from the south and began to weave cloth by themselves, and at this time, except for those places that had to be self-sufficient due to transportation conditions, almost all of them were southern cotton.

It's not just Daming.

Southeast Asia, the Japanese Kingdom, and Korea are all wearing cloth from the south of the Ming Dynasty.

It's the same even as far away as South America, but not necessarily cotton, and cheaper linen is actually selling well.

The Indians wore the cloth of the Ming Dynasty.

It's not a joke.

In fact, Spanish merchants bought large quantities of cloth from the Ming Dynasty and shipped it to the Americas.

And the nearest transit station, the indigenous Luzon natives, is almost no longer even able to weave.

Of course, in exchange, the highest 80% of silver produced in the Americas was shipped directly to the Ming Dynasty.

The supply of industrial products on the one hand, the massive silver from the Americas and the Japanese on the other, the Donglin Party and the Nanzhili gentry behind the scenes, in this way, controlled the political economy of the Ming Dynasty, bought commercial interests on the one hand, and cultivated the major academies with Donglin Academy as the core, this interest group is also getting bigger and bigger in the officialdom, constantly forcing the emperor to submit to them in the imperial court.

This is the Donglin Party.

"Impossible? Zhang Zongxian, isn't this Li Sancai's handwriting? ”

Yang Xin sneered.

Zhang Wenda directly disdained to talk to this bad guy.

"Your Majesty, the minister suspects that Jinyi Wei has made a move, Li Sancai's case is very important, and the minister asks the three divisions to try it!"

He said directly to the apocalypse.

Needless to say, Huang Kezhang, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the Dali Temple and the Dali Temple are very easy to buy, basically the three divisions will definitely find a way to clear Li Sancai of the crime of rebellion. The rest is to kill Yang Xin, this is indeed impossible to wash, but Li San can be regarded as the body of the former subordinate of the Divine Sect, and he will be seventy after a few years, and at that time it will be within the scope of preferential exemption, and usually the most discussed in this way is exile.

Anyway, as long as you get him out of prison, it's fine.

At most, his son is not easy to solve.

But his son is also trying to save his father, as long as he doesn't rebel and simply hire a murderer.

After all, this is considered a filial piety behavior, and for filial piety is also to be exempted, the Holy Dynasty takes filial piety first, and in the end the two grandfathers are exiled, but Li San is only seventy years old and can find his children and grandchildren to take him as a replacement, he doesn't have to go at all, just continue to care for the elderly at home.

"Yang Xin, did Jinyi Wei ever torture Li Sancai?"

Apocalypse said.

"No, Your Majesty has decreed that no punishment shall be used, Xu Xianchun and they naturally dare not resist the decree, the minister can guarantee that he has not beaten Li Sancai, if you don't believe it, you can go to the edict to see it yourself, if Li Sancai really has traces of torture, then this confession does not exist. But looking at it, in order to prevent someone from having ulterior motives, he was encouraged to retract his confession in the edict, and he couldn't get too close, so he just let Jinyiwei take off his clothes and look at it from a distance. ”

Yang Xin said.

Li Sancai was absolutely not injured.

Xu Xianchun hasn't moved a finger from him during this time, at most he is staying with him, such as not letting him sleep, but these are of no use to Li Sancai's iron will.

"Your Majesty, even if you have not been tortured, the minister also asks the three divisions to be tried to serve the world!"

Zhang Wenda said.

It's not that there is no other way to do it.

Everyone is a smart person, Jin Yiwei must have used special means, otherwise Li Sancai would not have been able to sign.

It is impossible for Li Sancai to conspire with the Wenxiang Sect, which is very clear to these members of the imperial court, it is true that the Li family and the Wang family have business dealings, and it is true that they occasionally find the Wang family to do dirty work, but the conspiracy to rebel is purely framed.

"If you have already confessed, why do you need to be retried?"

Apocalypse said.

"The evidence of Li Sancai's reversal case is conclusive, and he has confessed, reading that he is an old minister of Emperor Shenzong, and he is nearly seventy years old, he is exempted from the punishment of Ling Chi, and he is given a pair of white silk, and his son Li Yuan is an accomplice, and Wang Haoyi and others are beheaded to show the public, the Li family's property is confiscated, the male is exiled to Qiongzhou, and the female dependents and young children are succeeded to the throne by me, and the world should be shown to be merciful, and each will be given to his parents. In addition, Wang Haoxian, the rebel leader of the Wenxiang Sect, still absconded, and sent orders to be strictly arrested in various places, and Wang An and others were involved in the matter of Li Sancai, and I am afraid that they were also involved in this case, and they were strictly interrogated in brocade clothes. ”

He went on to say.

The exile of Qiongzhou was insisted on by Yang Xin.

After all, there is still Shilu iron ore waiting to be developed, if the Ming Dynasty wants to really enter the iron and steel age, it is definitely not possible to rely on these inferior ores in the north alone, the only choice is this top iron mine, Jinyiwei set up a separate Changhua prison in Changhua, just like Comrade Iron and Steel likes, throw all those who need to be exiled. There must be a lot of raids next, Yang Xin likes to raid homes just to ask for silver, but it's not good to kill people indiscriminately, just let these guys exert their residual heat......

It can also be said to squeeze out the last bit of value.

"Your Majesty, the Li family's belongings are sent by the Criminal Department."

Liu Yixiao hurriedly said.

At this moment, all the ministers instantly became energetic.

This must be fought for, the Li family does not say much, three or four million are there, of course such a huge amount of property has to enter the household, if it is in the hands of the little emperor, it will be even more uncontrollable, since the Li family can no longer be saved, then simply eat cake together. In the final analysis, the best way to control the emperor is to control it from the money bag, and finally took advantage of Taichang's coaxing to coax out most of Wanli's silver, if the little emperor gets the wealth of the Li family, those will be made up at once.

It is resolute not to let the emperor have money, and it is impossible for a rich emperor to be obedient.

"No need, since it's a case handled by Jinyiwei, it's better for Jinyiwei to go!"

Apocalypse said.

"Your Majesty, at least the Criminal Department must also send personnel to participate."

Huang Kezhang couldn't stand still.

The neutral faction can't do it, this is a big business of millions of taels, and Li Sancai's family property is afraid that it will catch up with the commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty for a few years, so it must be fought for.

"I said it very clearly, no need, Jinyi Wei can do it, all of you go back, I'm tired!"

Apocalypse said categorically.

"Your Majesty, this is a big deal!"

Li Ruhua, the head of the household, said.

"I'm tired, all retreat!"

Apocalypse waved his hand unceremoniously to get out.

It's not easy to get the apocalypse of such a fat sheep, so I won't share it with others! The hole left by his father can be filled by this one.

"Your Majesty......"

Zhang Wenda still wanted to fight, but Yang Xin's face appeared in his field of vision.

"Mr. Zhang, didn't you hear His Majesty's words?"

Yang Xin said with a smile.

As soon as he came out, the other ministers immediately died down full of resentment.

I have to say that the little emperor is very bad at this, he will let Yang Xin go whenever he has something, he doesn't look like a holy lord at all, the matter between our monarchs and ministers, we can talk about what should be discussed, you always let this hungry wolf come out, what's the matter.

"Yang Tongzhi, it won't be Your Excellency who is going to raid the house, right?"

Zhang Wenda sneered.

"This, Your Majesty did let Yang go, and Yang still has some talent in copying his family."

Yang Xin said.

Of course, he has to do this job, who has copied 700,000 taels in a single stroke of Daming over the years? Of course, such a master of copying should be used to the maximum.

Zhang Wenda nodded.

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate will send someone to watch, and the old man will let all the imperial histories keep an eye on you, and write down every ingot of silver, and when the time comes, Yang Tongzhi had better not let the old man catch any handles."

He said with a non-smiling smile.

After speaking, he and the others withdrew from the Qianqing Palace.
