Chapter 587: Amnesty

(Thank you for the book friend "jiushu to the end of the world" for another reward!) )

After Qian Yiai finished questioning for the emperor, he quickly helped Chen Zizhuang up.

"Uncle, don't worry, the son-in-law will definitely tell His Majesty what his uncle said!"

Chen Zizhuang said with tears in his eyes: "Zigao, the old man knows that it depends on the will of God whether he can survive or not, but he must ask Zigao to promise the old man to save the lives of my two underage sons!" ”

Just now, Huang Zongxi said that he would leave after asking Qian Yiai, and he would not have anything to do with Chen Zizhuang, but when the matter came to the front, he could retreat.

Qian Yiai looked at Chen Zizhuang, who was full of white hair, gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, don't worry, the son-in-law will ensure that the lives of the two cousins are worry-free!" ”

Chen Zizhuang heard Qian Yiai promise himself, grabbed Qian Yiai's hand and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Virtuous son-in-law, you must be careful of Ma Mingyuan, this person's heart is not right!" ”

Qian bereaved his love in total, isn't this nonsense, I don't know who Ma Mingyuan is? But Chen Zizhuang's next sentence scared Qian Yiai half to death.

"Virtuous son-in-law, the old man knows that you are not a thing in the pool, in the future, if you or your father want to deal with Ma Mingyuan, you will go to Zhang Jiayu, he has Ma Mingyuan's death place in his hand!"

Qian Yiai was shocked when he heard Chen Zizhuang reveal the news, you must know that although Zhang Jiayu is from Guangdong, he has been a hardcore prince from the first time he entered the officialdom, and he is also a close associate of Ma Mingyuan, but he didn't expect it to be Chen Zizhuang's person.

Qian Yiai's heart was frightened when he first heard the secret, and he didn't dare to delay, so he bowed down and went out of the prison. Standing at the gate of the prison, Qian Yiai thought about what Chen Zizhuang said just now, is it true? Could it be that Chen Zizhuang knew that he couldn't do it and wanted to use his own hands to eliminate Ma Mingyuan? Or is what Chen Zizhuang said true, Zhang Jiayu is really a spy he sent over, but Chen Zizhuang has such a good deck of cards, why didn't he fight back in the court at that time?

Zhao Mengguan saw Qian Yiai looking up and thinking about the question, and said on the side: "Young Master Qian, is there anything else?" ”

Interrupted by Zhao Mengguan, Qian Yiai decided that this matter was too involved, and it was better not to tell others for now, what to do now is to go back to the palace to report to the emperor, and it is best to rescue Chen Zizhuang's family.

Qian Yiai had just taken two steps, and suddenly remembered Zhao Dequan's matter, and he said to Zhao Mengguan: "Lord Zhao, you have a credit to Daming, do you want to go on like this?" ”

Zhao Mengguan didn't know why he suddenly said himself, and hurriedly replied: "Childe, there is no way to go down!" ”

"Lord Zhao, you are so stupid! There's a big tree next to you, won't you throw yourself into your arms? ”

Zhao Mengguan was stunned, big tree? There are a lot of big trees in Asari, but I can't reach them!

"Mr. Qian, is that the big tree you are talking about?"

"Lord Zhao, now besides the emperor, there is also the largest tree?"

Needless to say? Of course, it's the next emperor, the crown prince! Could it be that Qian Yiai wants to join the prince himself?

Zhao Mengguan thought for a while and said, "Young Master Qian, but I don't have a relationship with the prince!" ”

"Hehe, Lord Zhao, I can't figure out why you Bing Xue is so smart! That Zhao Dequan is the cousin of the king of Wuchang County, and the daughter-in-law of the king of Wuchang County is the sister of the crown prince, Lord Zhao think about it himself! ”

was reminded by Qian Yiai Zhao Mengguan before he remembered that he had the conditions to hug the big tree in front of him, as long as he treated Zhao Dequan well, the king of Wuchang County would definitely accept his favor, wouldn't this depend on the prince!

Zhao Mengguan, who thought clearly, hurriedly saluted and said: "Thank you, Mr. Qian, for pointing out the way!" ”

Qian Yiai patted Zhao Mengguan's shoulder and said: "Lord Zhao, then I will congratulate Lord Zhao, with the help of the prince in the future, even the commander will not be impossible!" ”

Qian Yiai saw that Zhao Mengguan's eyes were shining by himself, and he smiled secretly in his heart, now Jinyiwei is ironclad, and the prince can't intervene at all, now that the seeds have been planted, it depends on how to develop in the future.

Zhao Mengguan watched Wang Xian and Qian Yiai leave, and in his heart, his position was too low, and he was bullied enough by Wang Xian in Jinyiwei, it seems that he is really looking for a big tree.

Thinking of this, Zhao Mengguan asked his deputy to take the top for a while, and then rode on his horse and went to the palace of Wuchang County in the city.

Qian Yiai returned to the palace and told Emperor Zhu Hongsan what Chen Zizhuang said truthfully.

Zhu Hongsan nodded and asked, "Zigao, what do you think of Chen Zizhuang?" Was he wronged? ”

Needless to say! However, Qian Yiai didn't say so, and he didn't want to get involved in the power struggle between the Guangdong faction and the Huguang faction.

"Your Majesty, whether you are wronged or not, the letter found in Chen Zizhuang's mansion is a fact, and the official who is now the head is dead, and there is no way to investigate the case without evidence."

Zhu Hongsan didn't expect Qian Yiai to speak impartially, which really surprised Zhu Hongsan.

"Oh? Zigao, aren't you Chen Zizhuang's nephew? Why not speak for him? ”

"The minister is His Majesty's courtier first, and then Chen Zizhuang's relative!"

Zhu Hongsan, who was slapped by Qian Yiai's sycophant, was very comfortable: "Zigao, what do you say Chen Zizhuang should do?" ”

This is embarrassing to lose money, of course he wants to rescue Chen Zizhuang's family, which involves the fate of his wife. But he offended Ma Mingyuan by speaking for Chen Zizhuang, and Ma Lao Er is not a good stubble. Qian Yiai thought about it for a while and decided to save Chen Zizhuang first, after all, his wife is important.

"Your Majesty, now that people are witnessing death, only physical evidence cannot be conclusive, plus Chen Zizhuang has worked hard and made a lot of contributions to His Majesty's great cause in the past three years as the first assistant, so the minister thinks it is better to be light!"

Zhu Hongsan was very satisfied with what Qian Yiai said, in fact, he didn't want to kill Chen Zizhuang, after all, Chen Zizhuang made a great contribution to his early development, and now he will inevitably make people feel cold when he is ruthless to clean up Chen Zizhuang. There is another point that is more important, Chen Zizhuang has served as the first assistant for three years, and the Cantonese faction in the DPRK and China is very powerful, plus most of Zhu Hongsan's factories are in Guangdong, and he has not yet moved to Nanzhili, and he still needs the support of the local gentry in Guangdong.

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said to Qian Yiai: "Zigao, you are very smart, but you are still a little hot." In this way, you promise you what you ask me to spare your wife's family, but in exchange you have to promise me one thing! ”

Qian Yiai heard that Zhu Hongsan finally relented, and he was very happy in his heart, don't say one thing now, it is no problem to have eight out of ten.

"The ministers have thanked Your Majesty, it is a matter of time for the courtiers to share your Majesty's worries, please say to Your Majesty!"

"Good! You are a person now, and tomorrow you will go to Shangyuan County to be a magistrate! ”

This news made Qian Yiai's five thunders thunder, and said to others that it was a fat difference to be a county magistrate at a young age, but Qian Yiai's love was different. He was promoted at the age of fifteen, and now he is only eighteen years old, and in a few years, he will be able to pass the Jinshi exam with his level, and if he can't get it, he will be able to get the top prize or something. You must know that there is an unwritten convention in the Ming Dynasty cabinet scholars that they must be born in the Shu Jishi, and the Shu Ji Shi needs to be in the top few Jinshi in the examination to get in. Now the emperor let Qian Yiai come out as an official early, this is the career of Qian Yiai, as long as Qian Yiai agrees, he can only be promoted to a book at most in his life, and it is impossible to enter the cabinet.

Zhu Hongsan looked at Qian Yiai stunned on the spot, he knew that in this era, literati yearn for the title of marquis and prime minister, only entering the cabinet is the pinnacle of a person's life, and it is a little difficult for him to let him come out as an official now. However, Qian Yiai didn't understand Zhu Hongsan's hard work, Zhu Hongsan was the emperor, and it was not up to him to enter the cabinet, and now letting Qian Yiai come out as an official is just to train him.

All of Zhu Hongsan's gunpowder and weapons factories were in Guangdong, the distance was not conducive to transportation, and the future wars were north of the Yangtze River, so the establishment of an arsenal here in Nanjing became the top priority.

The address of the arsenal has been chosen, and it is on the edge of Xuanwu Lake in Shangyuan County. Xuanwu Lake has always been a royal garden, and there is also a waterway leading to the Yangtze River, so it is a good place to set up a secret department such as an arsenal. At the same time, Nanjing's Shuiguan Wharf is at Jinchuanmen, which is the boundary under the jurisdiction of Shangyuan County, and Zhu Hongsan plans to build a development zone here. Now Ma Jingyuan from Guangdong has arrived in Nanjing to serve as the prefect of Jiangning, and he is mainly responsible for the preliminary preparations for the development zone. But the location of Shangyuan County is also very important, and there must be a person with some new thinking to take charge. Zhu Hongsan's subordinates who have experience in the development zone are now all party leaders, so they can be a small county magistrate. And Qian Yiai has been by Zhu Hongsan's side for a long time and has accepted some new thinking, so he is a good candidate for the magistrate of Shangyuan County.

Qian Yiai is doing a fierce ideological struggle, and it is a pity in life that he can't enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, but family happiness is also what Qian Yiai hopes to pursue. Qian Yiai thought about it and felt that being an official was just a momentary glory, but the family had to follow him for a lifetime, so it was better to choose the family!

After Qian Yiai made up his mind, he bowed down and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen, the minister will definitely govern Shangyuan County well!" ”

Seeing that Qian Yiai promised Zhu Hongsan, he was very satisfied, and he knew that the person who made the choice was a promising person. Zhu Hongsan has been in officialdom for decades in his previous life and this life, and those who don't care about anything for an official position have seen a lot, and most of those people have no good ends, as the saying goes, it is not unreasonable to take a step back and open the sky.

"Okay, you go home and get ready, and the decree will come to your house in a moment. Tomorrow, I will go to Jiangning Mansion to find Ma Jingyuan to report, and he will teach you what you should do! Qian Yiai nodded and bowed to leave.

Seeing that Qian Yiai was gone, Zhu Hongsan said to Li Chengen: "Lao Li, draft a purpose!" Chen Zizhuang committed a great crime, secretly concealed the letter slandering the Queen Mother, and should have been executed, but Nian Zai has meritorious service to this dynasty, and I am not a tyrant like Zhu Di, so I amnesty Chen Zizhuang to avoid death, deprive him of all meritorious fame, reward him with 100 acres of land, and go back to Guangdong to retire! Chen Zizhuang's three adult sons were punished on behalf of their fathers, the eldest son was assigned to work in Luzon for five years, the second son and the third son were assigned to Qiongzhou for three years, and all other female dependents were exempted. Chen Zizhuang's younger brother Chen Zisheng was demoted and returned to his hometown, and he will never be hired, and Chen Zisheng's daughter will be exempted! ”
