Chapter 189: The Tree Wants to Be Quiet and the Wind Doesn't Stop

According to Wang Yin's plan, the most urgent thing at the moment is to get Chen Yuexin's official post as soon as possible and leave the quagmire of Beijing, so those who should give up some necessary interests must take the initiative to give up, so that those civil officials and nobles can give up impeachment. As for punishing those behind the sneak attack and assassination of oneself, it should also be carried out at the same time, so that only by exchanging interests and using force as a deterrent can we deter others and achieve our own goals.

Wang Yin personally grabbed the pen and wrote a letter for Chen Yue, writing to the imperial court, saying that now the southern Cao Road is cut off from the financial difficulties of the imperial court, and Chen Yue, the garrison of Xishan, is worried about state affairs and sleepless nights, and is willing to give up the honeycomb coal business at home and hand it over to the royal management, in addition to the initial decision of Xishan, dozens of coal mines are related to the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people in Beijing, and also implore the imperial court to send personnel to Xishan to manage these coal mines.

Wang Yin was born in a person and worked in Zhou Yanru's shogunate, and his level of insight and vision is naturally not comparable to that of He Lu, who is half-hanging, and the pieces he wrote are much higher than He Lu. Reasonable, well-founded, courteous and courteous, with an implied exchange of interests in the high-sounding manner, on the condition that Chen Yue give up honeycomb coal and Xishan coal mines, in exchange for the civil officials to shut up and give up impeachment, and then will not interfere with Chen Yue's tenure. And with Chen Yuegang's great contribution to the Manchu Tartars, it is not very difficult to obtain the position of governor or chief soldier, and in the more than 20 years of fighting against the Manchus, how many people have made such great achievements as Chen Yue? Wang Yin believes that there are no shortage of sober people among civil officials, so what good will it do them to blindly attack a fierce general like Chen Yue?

Wang Yin's analysis and judgment were very accurate, and with the handing of the recitals, the atmosphere in the court against Chen Yue changed, and the number of recitals for impeachment was significantly reduced.

In the cabinet room in the imperial city, the first assistant Chen Yan smiled and preached to Mao Wen, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, "This martial artist is also knowledgeable, and it is rare to know how to advance and retreat." ”

"It should be that there is a master's support behind it, but being able to decisively give up such a big benefit, this Chen Yue really can't be underestimated." Mao Wenxuan said with a smile.

Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year, even high-ranking officials like Chen Yan and Mao Wenxuan are very blushing when they look at it. Of course, for Chen Yan and Mao Wenxuan, with today's status, their families naturally rely on their power to gather a large number of land assets, and they don't bother to act for this benefit. But for many middle and low-level officials in the imperial court, especially those poor imperial historians, a few hundred taels of silver a year is enough to make them red-eyed, and it is understandable to do dirty work for people for money.

"Well, he can advance and retreat, bend and stretch, and lead soldiers to fight and make meritorious contributions, this Chen Yue is really a talent, those people are really a little unusual, you pass on the word, let those officials shut up! Others gave a little bone and jumped up and down, where is there still a little bit of the gossip officer's bones! Chen Yan ordered unhappily.

Chen Yan, as the first assistant, naturally gathered a group of gossip officials around him, and his words were still listened to. Many of the impeached officials stopped, and some of the people who followed the impeachment also stopped moving, which made Emperor Chongzhen in the inner palace also breathe a sigh of relief.

"This Chen Yue still knows how to advance and retreat, which is rare." Chongzhen smiled and said to Wang Chengen. Chen Yue's concession made Chongzhen breathe a sigh of relief, the civil officials flocked to impeach him and could not ignore it, but he was ruthless to deal with a hero like Chen Yue, and the only way to develop was to let the three law divisions investigate Chen Yue's murder case, although Wu Mengming brought back the witnesses, but how Dali Temple and the Criminal Department investigated the case, the result was unpredictable, it was better to end the matter so easily.

"Back to Your Majesty, you should confirm the reward for Chen Yue now, and let him take office as soon as possible!" Wang Chengen said softly.

"Well, you are going to make a decree, and tomorrow the court will announce the appointment, the governor of Jizhen, this kid is really cheap." Chongzhen's mood was rarely relaxed.

Just when everyone from the emperor to the cabinet was relaxed, another undercurrent was surging.

At night, the study of Jiading Bofu, located on Qipan Street, is as lit as day.

"Guozhang, you have to make up your mind, by tomorrow, these tens of thousands of taels of honeycomb coal per month will be collected by the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with you." The former Jinyi guard commanded Luo Yangxing anxiously urging Jiading Bo Zhou Kui.

"But, but that Kunxing is my niece in the end, how can I bear to do this?" Zhou Kui wrinkled his brows and paced in the study, his heart full of struggle.

"My father-in-law, this is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year, besides, even if the matter is publicized and Princess Kunxing's reputation is damaged, she is still the noble princess of the Ming Dynasty, who can take her? At most, when she is still a horse in the future, you can give her some more silver and compensate her well. Luo Yangxing said in a low voice.

"You can do this yourself, you have been the commander of the Jinyi Guard for so many years, there must be many officials who are compatible with each other, why do you have to drag me into the water?"

Although his heart was full of incomparable thirst for silver, Zhou Kui's heart was still full of struggles, and he asked him to personally harm his niece, the emperor's most beloved daughter, but he still couldn't do it. It's best to do everything with Luo Yang's nature, and pretend not to know.

After Luo Yangxing lost his official position, he quickly took refuge in Zhou Kui, and quickly gained Zhou Kui's trust by relying on his own connections and secrets that he had mastered for many years as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he also got a lot of silver for Zhou Kui these days. Zhou Kui may promise that he will find an opportunity to speak for him in front of Chongzhen, and the commander of Jinyi Wei will definitely not be able to be the envoy, but he will seek other official positions for him.

"My father-in-law, if I can do this alone, how dare I trouble you?" Luo Yang said aggrievedly, "Only the beginning of Princess Kunxing and Chen Yue knows about it!" Since this matter is to be exposed, it is natural that the clearer the details, the better, so as to achieve the purpose of striking at Chen Yue, so that His Majesty will not have the face to take over the honeycomb coal, as long as you operate a little, the management of the honeycomb coal will fall into your hands. ”

"Okay!" After thinking for a long time, Zhou Kui finally stopped, made up his mind, and sighed: "I can tell you about Kun Xing's relationship with Chen Yue, but you have to make sure that you hit Chen Yue as much as possible, and don't implicate Kun Xing too much." Besides, this matter has nothing to do with me, you must remember this! ”

"Of course, Master Guo, you put a hundred hearts, God knows that you know this matter, and I know it, and no one will ever know that it has something to do with you!" Luo Yangxing patted his chest and reassured, but secretly spit in his heart.
