Liu Xingzuo saw that Emperor Chongzhen was silent after reading the chapter, and he was a little anxious. He can be said to be the absolute beneficiary of this Liaodong war. His family was rescued and given high honors. Whoever attacks the war in Liaodong, he must not sit idly by.

After waiting for a while, before he saw Emperor Chongzhen speak, he clenched his fists again and said, "Your Majesty, please give the driver a post to take people!" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he looked up at him and asked, "Even if I give him a driving post, just based on these rumors, the criminal department may not be able to pass the matter." ”

As soon as Liu Xingzuo heard this, he knew that Emperor Chongzhen did not intend to let him come by force. Otherwise, with the strength of the factory guard, even if you take it directly, what can those civil officials do! But this kind of rumor-mongering, if you want to pay attention to real evidence, it is too difficult, especially now that it has been spread in Beijing, you can't arrest all the people who talk about and attack the war in Liaodong and the high-ranking officials of the imperial court, right?

If you can't force it, it's tricky!

Liu Xingzuo thought so, and suddenly found that Emperor Chongzhen didn't seem to be angry, and he didn't look very angry. With his understanding, shouldn't the emperor have a way?

Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen had already sorted out his thoughts, so he spoke: "I see that the real intention of those who spread rumors is to use the war in Liaodong to attack my first assistant, as well as my auxiliary ministers in Shanxi. Hehe, after all, Xue Ge Lao is chasing the arrears in Shanxi, which makes many people afraid. It should not only be the local squires in Shanxi, but also the squires in other places, who are afraid of being chased for arrears, so they unite to stop this matter. ”

In Shanxi, Xue Guoguan's official position is high enough, and the recovery of arrears is a matter within the law, plus he has a heavy army, and Zhang Xianzhong, a thief-turned, can command the official army, so it can be said that no one can resist it head-on, so he came to Yin.

If Emperor Chongzhen had been so messed with by them, maybe he would have been moved. But today's Emperor Chongzhen is not so easy to fool, and there are chat groups that can get information about Shanxi in real time, and it is not easy to fool him.

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, it is the squires everywhere who owe the most today!" When Liu Xingzuo heard this, he immediately echoed.

Not to mention that he has access to more information in his position as the commander of the Jinyi Guard. Even if he wasn't in this position, he knew this when Liaodong hadn't rebelled yet. It can be said that after hundreds of years of history, most of the land was slowly concentrated in the hands of the squires, and then they thought of ways to avoid taxes and evade taxes, and even found various reasons to default on taxes.

And the official was given a gift, or for fame, or for fear of being manipulated by the local squire, he could be perfunctory, anyway, he didn't have many years to be an official in a place. Then, dragging and dragging will encounter some major events on the National Day and pardon the arrears. As a result, when the normal tax payers saw it, they felt at a loss and joined the ranks of tax arrears.

This situation, which has become more and more common over time. Only those civilians who have no power and no background, on the contrary, do not have the ability to default on taxes, and even the taxes owed by the local gentry will be transferred to them so that the local officials can pay the difference, which will lead to the bankruptcy of the commoners and become tenants.

Hearing Liu Xingzuo's affirmation, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "The rumors that happened in Jingshi, instead of forcibly suppressing or explaining, the effect will not be good......

Liu Xingzuo nodded when he heard this, these people's tricks are indeed very poisonous. Even if it's a good thing, if you try to explain it, he can refute it for you. And if you forcibly suppress it and don't let the people discuss it, you will be attacked by them because you have a ghost in your heart, even if you are reasonable, it will become unreasonable.

"In this way, you send some people to spread the news, completely muddy the public opinion of the Jingshi, and guide it in the direction I want!" Emperor Chongzhen immediately commanded.

When Liu Xingzuo heard this, he knew that the emperor really had a way, so he immediately clenched his fists and said: "The last general will obey the order, I don't know what direction to guide!" ”

"Just follow their intentions and let their remarks be more intense......" When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he found that Liu Xingzuo was a little stunned, showing a puzzled look, so he said in detail, "Let's just say that the combat power of the imperial army is really not good, very bad, fighting with the enemies of the Ming Dynasty, and often defeating battles." With such an army, what kind of military salary is paid! What's the use of Xue Ge Lao chasing the arrears, and disturbing the local people's livelihood! ”

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, Liu Xingzuo looked incredulous, with doubts, and stammered slightly: "Your Majesty, this is ...... In this case, the pressure on Shoufu and Xue Gechen will be very great, and it will not attract more people to impeach, and they are afraid that they will not be able to withstand the pressure and resign, which is ...... Isn't that what those people want? ”

"Hehe, it's okay, Liu Qing will do what I want." Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "I want to see if the situation develops in the direction they want, and someone will jump out and make trouble!" ”

Upon hearing this, Liu Xingzuo thought that he understood Emperor Chongzhen's intentions, and couldn't help but be a little worried, so he had to remind: "Your Majesty, although you can know who is making trouble, but once you reach that situation, you will be worried...... Worried that the situation will get out of control, the three of them will become tigers, and Shoufu and Xue Ge Lao will not be able to do things! ”

"Huh!" Emperor Chongzhen smiled when he heard this: "It's okay, there will be a way to break the situation when the time comes!" ”

"......" Liu Xingzuo was speechless, if it really came to that kind of situation, how to explain it, how to seal it, it was useless, what else could there be to break the situation?

Seeing his disbelieving expression, Emperor Chongzhen thought about it for a while, and felt that if he didn't give Liu Xingzuo the answer, he was afraid that he would not be able to do things with his heart, so he smiled and said: "Liu Qing doesn't know, at this time, the governor of Yansui has won a great victory in the grassland war, and he should be able to completely annihilate Lin Dan Khan's department." The territory of my Ming Dynasty will extend to the grassland, and the Hetao will be my Ming Dynasty! ”

If you talk about the previous war in Liaodong, those people with ulterior motives will be crooked; Then this grassland war is a great achievement in opening up the territory and expanding the territory, and it is a great military achievement to worship the Taimiao. This ironclad fact will be the most advantageous weapon against those rumors.

At this time, there was a war to be fought in the grassland, which was only known to some people in Qin and Jin, and the great victory of Guihua City was still in progress. Except for a few parties in the chat group, others, including Liu Xingzuo, did not know the situation.

Because of this, Emperor Chongzhen had this strategy, let them be more crazy, slanderously and shamelessly, and finally slap them in the face with the merit of expanding the territory, and the rumors will be self-defeating!
