"Your Majesty, the ministers have been ordered by the emperor to investigate the starting point city for several months. Recently, Fu Yifeng, the general banner of the Qianhu Office of Jinyi Wei Guangqumen, and others were ordered by my command to investigate the Panjiayuan Highway in the starting point of the city, .........! ”

Luo Yangxing detailed Fu Yifeng's extortion of the road construction workers in the starting point city, how he clashed with the Tiance army, the Tiance army shot and killed Jinyiwei, what conditions Wang Yue proposed, and reported to Chongzhen in 1510.

Cao Huachun listened to the cold sweat next to him, what is this Wang Yue going to do? It's killing Jinyiwei again, and it's mentioning such incredible conditions. Wang Yue usually passes Cao Ruyi from time to time, and he will always bring him some rare things. In his impression, Wang Yue is still a very discerning official, what's wrong today?

In fact, Wang Yue had a good relationship with Cao Huachun through Cao Ruyi, which was also due to habit. Besides, some modern objects are also beneficial and not costly.

After listening to Luo Yangxing's words, "Smack! Chongzhen slapped on the case of the dragon book and shouted angrily: "What does this Wang Yue want to do? Do you want to rebel? ”

Luo Yangxing, Cao Huachun and Cao Huachun both fell to the ground and did not dare to speak.

"Immediately convene the six ministries and the cabinet to enter the palace for discussion!" Chongzhen waved his hand with a gloomy face.

Wang Yue and the Tiance army were close to Gyeonggi, and now they showed a tendency to rebel or warlords, so Chongzhen summoned his ministers to discuss out of caution.

These important ministers of the court were hurriedly summoned by Chongzhen, and they didn't know what was going on. Some speculate that the rogue has risen and the officers and men have suffered defeat. Some speculation is that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has made another move, and the border is in an emergency, and so on.

The first assistant Wen Tiren, the second assistant Xue Guoguan, the six Shangshu and others all arrived, and Chongzhen said to Luo Yangxing: "Luo Aiqing, you can tell the story to all the Aiqing." ”

As soon as Luo Yangxing finished explaining the matter to the ministers in detail, Wen Tiren was the first to jump out and roar: "Your Majesty, this Wang Yue's wolf ambition has been revealed!" It must be locked up and put in jail immediately to prove the law of the land! ”

After his cousin was arrested by Wang Yue, he was gathering his henchmen to discuss how to rectify this Wang Yue, but he didn't expect this Wang Yue to jump out by himself!

The second assistant Xue Guoguan nodded again and again: "Wang Yue, this person, has only been an official for a few days, and he doesn't know how to repay the emperor's kindness, and he is proud of his achievements, what a disloyal, unkind and unrighteous minister!" ”

The Hou of the Hubu Shangshu said: "Your Majesty, this Wang Yue has just paid more than 20 million catties of grain taxes, and has made great contributions in North Korea, and now he says that he will provide 100,000 catties of steel and one million taels of silver to the imperial court, how can he say the opposite?" Is there a reason for this? ”

Now the Ming Dynasty wants to say that the most difficult official is definitely the household book, to Chongzhen after the throne, the great Ming Dynasty a year tax is only four million taels of silver, but the annual court expenditure needs more than five million taels, as a household book, the daily work to do is to tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, Hou Sui has already been haggard, if Chongzhen said at this moment to let him get out of his hometown and go home, this old guy will definitely be very happy to take off the black gauze hat and leave immediately.

Therefore, as a household secretary, Hou Xi likes rich people like Wang Yue the most, especially the household secretary in the late Ming Dynasty, which is really not easy to do! Wang Yue's support can solve many of his problems.

Liu Zunxian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, has a good relationship with Wang Yue, and his impression has always been good, and he also said: "Yes, could it be that he has a last resort?" ”

Feng Ying, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said angrily: "Lord Liu, how can the laws of the imperial court be child's play, according to what he Wang Yue said, neither Jinyiwei nor my Criminal Department can take the people from his starting city." What is it? This is a great rebellion! Aren't they my subjects? Is the starting point going to be a country within a country? ”

Feng Ying is also a member of the Donglin Party, and originally hoped that Chen Xinjia could overthrow Wang Yue in North Korea, but it failed. Now that Wang Yue has arrogantly put forward such an outrageous condition, of course such an opportunity cannot be missed.

Liu Zunxian didn't take advantage of this stubble, but asked Luo Yangxing: "Luo Dudu, the more good the king, why did he suddenly say this?" There must be a reason, right? ”

Luo Yangxing glanced at Wen Tiren, and had no choice but to tell the truth: "Don't hide it from Lord Liu, the high income of the people in the starting point city is obvious to all. As far as I know, the income of most of the people in the starting point city is more than ten times higher than that of the people in Jingshi, so the people of the starting point city have attracted the peeps and blackmail of some well-intentioned people. This time, the conflict between the Tiance Army and our Jinyiwei was caused by Fu Yifeng, the general banner of the Jinyiwei Guangqumen Thousand Households, who blackmailed the road construction workers in the starting point city. According to the statistics of the starting point city, from November last year to April this year, there were more than 80 cases of extortion and extortion of the people of the starting point city. ”

Fu Yifeng's matter has already made a big fuss, and in front of the emperor, Luo Yangxing can only explain truthfully, what Wen Tiren thinks he can't care about.

Liu Zunxian nodded and bowed his hand to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the cause of this incident is already very clear. The large area of land between the starting point city and Shijingshan was purchased by Wang Yue through normal procedures, so it was counted as Wang Yue's private property. The people who worked for Wang Yue in places such as Qidian City and Shijingshan can be regarded as the long-term workers of Wang Yue's family. So Wang Yue's request is to protect his employees from being bullied by others. He thinks that if the Jinyi Guard and the Ministry of Punishment enter his land at will, it is equivalent to entering his home, so his consent must be obtained, so why not? ”

He was a minister of the imperial court who often moved around with Wang Yue, so he was more familiar with the situation in the starting point city.

Feng Ying immediately retorted: "Lord Liu, then Wang Yue has strong financial resources, if he buys all the land around the Jingshi, won't my Criminal Department and the Jinyi Guard Yamen even have to ask for his consent to enter and leave the Jingshi?" How unreasonable! ”

Saying that, he arched his hand to Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, this case cannot be taken lightly, the more Wang Yue ignores the laws of the country so much, he must be punished severely!" ”

Chongzhen snorted, looked at Wen Tiren with a gloomy face, and said, "Wen Aiqing, you are now the first assistant, and you should be more strict with your relatives and dependents!" ”

Fu Yifeng's situation Luo Yangxing has already reported to Chongzhen, if it wasn't for this Fu Yifeng to provoke trouble, how could Wang Yue suddenly make such an aggressive behavior.

Since Wang Yue was born, he has indeed made too many contributions to the imperial court, Chongzhen has always had a good impression of Wang Yue, and it is precisely because of Wang Yue and Tiance Army that the pressure on Liaodong has been greatly reduced.

Wen Tiren saw Chongzhen's dissatisfaction with him, so he had to lower his eyebrows and say, "After the minister goes back, he must strictly control his family to avoid such incidents from happening again." ”

Then he continued to turn the topic to Wang Yue, "Your Majesty, the top priority now is how to deal with Wang Yue, and the minister thinks that this case cannot be opened." ”
