Li Chuan first expressed his loyalty, and very generously said that he would not hesitate to exhaust his family wealth for the sake of His Majesty and state affairs, and then unceremoniously stabbed the Jin merchants and stabbed all the things that the Jin merchants did to betray the country to Emperor Chongzhen.

"Jin merchants betrayed the country, is this true or false?"

Emperor Chongzhen threw away the fold and asked angrily.

Some of the deeds of the Jin merchants described in the excerpt are simply shocking.

The Northeast is barren, the Jiannu Plain is no different from the savages, no clothes, no food, but now you can peek south into the Central Plains, where the clothes and food come from, where the weapons and iron armor come from, the excerpt is clear, all of them are delivered by the Jin merchants.

Jiannu came to the Central Plains to plunder, and the Jin merchants were responsible for handling the gold and silver looted by Jiannu.

The final result was that Jiannu became stronger and stronger, and the Jin merchants were richer than the country, and only the Ming were injured.

If this is true, even if all the nine generations of Shanxi merchants are killed, it will not be able to calm the anger in his heart.

Emperor Chongzhen's hair was about to stand on end, and his face was terrifyingly blue.

Wang Chengen was startled, hurriedly picked up the fold, and after sweeping the ten lines at a glance, his face changed.

"This ......"

Wang Cheng was also shocked, he didn't know about it.

Emperor Chongzhen got up and walked quickly, pacing back and forth in the main hall, and shouted uncontrollably: "What Li Chuan said is justified and well-founded, not like malicious slander, it should be true." It's disgusting that I didn't even know about such a big thing. ”

Wang Chengen broke out in a cold sweat, if this matter is true, there is no telling how many people in the palace will be unlucky.

It's just that the ministers of the court and the central government don't report it, but Dongchang and Jinyiwei are the emperor's exclusive intelligence agencies, but no one reports this kind of major event, no wonder Emperor Chongzhen is furious, and he can't wait to immediately order the killing of all the Shanxi merchants.

Wang Cheng was frightened, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I don't know whether this matter is true or not, Jin Shang has many friends in the court, don't leak the news, it's better for the old slave to check it out first, and then it's not too late for Your Majesty to make a decision." ”

"Check, check right away."

Emperor Chongzhen was furious, waved his hand fiercely, and his face was a little hideous.

Wang Chengen didn't dare to persuade again, and hurriedly went down to arrange manpower.

I just wanted to order someone to invite the eunuchs of Dongchang, but I suddenly thought that something was wrong, so I changed my mind temporarily, and invited a few henchmen and eunuchs to give an order, and several henchmen and eunuchs left the palace at that time and went to various places.

But not a day later, the secret fold of the eunuch guarding Changzhou arrived.

"Your Majesty, a group of Shanxi thieves entered Lijiazhuang at night and tried to assassinate Li Chuan."

Wang Chengen received the news and hurried to report it to Emperor Chongzhen.

"Is the news true?"

Emperor Chongzhen's anger had not yet dissipated, and his face turned a little blue when he heard this.

Wang Chengen nodded: "The news from Changzhou Mansion should not be fake, it is reported that Li Chuan had said when he shipped before, canceling the bidding qualifications of Shanxi businessmen, and bluntly denounced Shanxi businessmen for having no king and no father, betraying the country, and having a grudge with the Shanxi Fan family. ”

"Damn it!"

Emperor Chongzhen was furious again, not only pleased that Li Chuan was loyal to the country, but also deeply hated the Jin merchants and betrayed the country, although he had not yet received accurate news, but Emperor Chongzhen had intuitively felt that Li Chuan was not slandering Shanxi merchants, and most of the Jin merchants' enemies were true.

Five days later, the inquirer finally returned.

The first wave came back were people who went to Zhangjiakou to inquire about the news.

And the news brought made Emperor Chongzhen directly overturn the table.

"It should be killed, I want to kill all the Shanxi merchants."

Emperor Chongzhen roared in the main hall, but fortunately, all the palace maids and eunuchs were driven out from afar.

Wang Chengen's face is not good-looking, the news from Zhangjiakou is really shocking, and what is even more frightening is that there are many people who know the news, but only the emperor and Wang Chengen don't know, this problem is a bit serious.

The world understands feelings, and His Majesty and himself are deaf.

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen was very angry, those Shanxi merchants betrayed the country or second, the key is that there are not a few people who know about the Jin merchants, but he is the only one who doesn't know, this is an important reason why Emperor Chongzhen wants to kill people.

Not only to kill all the Shanxi merchants, but also to kill all the officials in the court who knew about it.

If it weren't for the filial piety of the Jin merchants, how could those officials in the court be dumb.

"My good courtier, really my good courtier."

Emperor Chongzhen's heart was broken, since he ascended the throne, he trusted Youjia in the ministers of the court, asked for power, asked for money, and even ignored the instructions of the first emperor and personally pulled out the Zhongguan forces headed by Wei Zhongxian.

But how did the courtiers repay themselves?

One by one, one by one, Emperor Chongzhen became more and more disappointed with his ministers.

When he couldn't bear it anymore, he didn't hesitate to kill.

But until today, Emperor Chongzhen knows how shameless those courtiers who are usually well-dressed and good-looking, and how there is no lower limit for their own selfishness, not only regard Shanxi merchants as traitors to the country, but also accept the benefits of those Jin merchants, and they are worried about the state affairs, what are those ministers doing?

There has never been this moment, Emperor Chongzhen's murderous intent is so fierce.

There has never been a moment when Emperor Chongzhen was so pessimistic about people's hearts.

Even the ministers of the DPRK and China cannot be trusted, who else in this world can believe it?

Emperor Chongzhen even had an impulse to kill all the courtiers.

"Ome, who else can I trust?"

Emperor Chongzhen's mouth trembled, and his heart was really broken.

"Your Majesty!"

Wang Chengen knelt on the ground and sobbed: "The old slave is willing to be willing to slap his head for His Majesty." ”

Emperor Chongzhen was speechless for a long time, and after a long time, he suppressed his violent ups and downs and said, "Big companion, please get up!" ”

Wang Chengen got up and wept, and followed the emperor to be sad.

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly smiled and said: "My Ming Dynasty has lasted for more than two hundred years, and there is no shortage of loyal ministers. Since Li Chuan has the heart to worry about the country, I will not be stingy, you send someone to ask what Li Chuan will do, I give him a chance, if he is really capable, I will make an exception and reuse it. ”

"The old slave obeys."

Wang Chengen received the decree and went down to make arrangements.

……

Jiangyin, go back to ten days ago.

Xiaosi's funeral was very grand and was held in the old Zhuangzi of the Li family.

Not only did Li Changyue personally come forward to handle it, but on the day of the funeral, Li Chuan also came in person.

Anyway, the family died because of himself, and Li Chuan felt uncomfortable.

The reason why he came in person was not to buy people's hearts, but purely for his own conscience.

Xiao Si's family was very sad, but they did not hate the owner because of Xiao Si's death, but were full of gratitude because Li Chuan personally came to participate in Xiao Si's funeral, and the other family members and family members also let go of the last bit of worry in their hearts.

With such a proprietor, what else is there to ask for.

Even if someone dies in the future, at least the family will have no worries about food and clothing, not worrying about the old parents having no one to support, and not worrying about the desperation of their wives, sons and daughters.

The front yard was a little noisy, Li Chuan looked at it for a while, and then went to the inner courtyard.

Since moving to the new Zhuangzi, he has rarely come back to the old Zhuangzi.

In the vegetable field in the inner courtyard, a piece of flowers is green, and the vegetables planted in the spring have also reached the ripe season, the yellow flowers are emerald green, the tomatoes are red and shiny, just because there is no chemical fertilizer, the size is not big, most of the cucumbers are only the thickness of an adult's thumb, and most of the tomatoes are only the size of eggs.
