Chapter 951: The Truth Comes Out

Chen Yixing pondered for a moment: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is no way to explain the quality of the new policy, just because this new policy is only implemented in Jibei, for the time being, all states in the world have not implemented the new policy, so what does the quality of this new policy have to do with others?" As long as the people in Jibei wait and don't stand up against it, then ...... What does it have to do with other state capitals? ”

Chen Yixing pursed his lips and continued: "As for the people going to Jibei, my Da Chen has already made a custom, if the people want to migrate, they only need to go to the government to report and get the road guide, they want to leave their hometown and go to Jibei, according to the law of Da Chen, there is nothing wrong with it, this ...... And what is worth saying? Could it be that because the people want to migrate, the court and the government need to tie them up in order to let them cultivate the local area with peace of mind, rent people's fields? If so, this party is against the law of the ancestors, therefore, the minister thinks that the new deal is a matter of Jibei, and the good or bad of the new deal is also related to Jibei...... Isn't that weird? Commerce and trade arose in Jibei, and neither asked the imperial court to let the state capitals drive the people to Jibei to work, nor did they order people to do anything to the gentry in the state capitals, so why did the gentry oppose it? ”

"The minister thinks that if the monks and laymen in Jibei are dissatisfied with the new policy, they can still ask Your Majesty to abolish the new policy, and the state governments have not implemented the new policy, let alone oppose it.

When they heard this, they were dumbfounded.

In fact, in essence, the New Deal did not touch the state capitals, and the imperial court did not make a decree to let the state capitals follow Jibei, and almost all the New Deal policies were implemented in Jibei.

But the impact of the new deal has indeed affected the state capitals, the biggest impact of which is the population, because of the emergence of Jibei, so that the population of many state capitals has lost a large number of people, which is a well-known thing, and the loss of population has led to a decline in land rent, and even led to a sharp drop in land prices, which is also a matter of course, not to mention, whether the new deal will be promoted in the future, has also caused panic, many gentry, afraid of continuing to lose such a population, therefore, the price of land is decreasing day by day, which damages, But their fundamental interests.

What is the gentry, the gentry are essentially the source of everything, the land, for them, the land is their foundation, is their everything, is the cornerstone of their wealth and glory for generations, and it is for this reason that they oppose the New Deal.

Now His Royal Highness King Jing has directly asked, what does the new policy of Jibei have to do with you?

Which of your state capitals implemented the New Deal, did not implement the New Deal, and had long legs on the people's bodies, then ...... What are you fighting against?

Chen Yixing smiled, and then said, "Actually...... Your Majesty can also issue an edict to promise to the students outside this Luoyang Palace, guaranteeing that in addition to Jibei, their hometown, that is, the capital of my Dachen Prefecture, if not the people strongly agree, otherwise, it will not be easy to open the new deal, the new deal in Jibei is limited to Jibei, if the students are unwilling, then they might as well ask them to invite the students of Jibei to oppose the new deal in Jibei, if not, the minister thinks, this statement, won't it become a joke in the world? ”

Please ask the students of Jibei to oppose it......

This is basically, it is the same as looking for self-interest, because Jibei has no students at all, when Chen Kaizhi got Jibei, this Jibei originally belonged to the territory of the Yan people, when they retreated, the people were wrapped up clean, therefore, in that Jibei, in addition to the merchants from other provinces, they are all some outsiders, from the strict sense of household registration, there is not much registered population in Jibei at all.

“……”

The hundred officials in the hall were silent.

Chen Kaiyi smiled: "So, very good, since the students are suspicious now, they want to come, they are afraid of the promotion of the new deal, come, spread my will, just as the emperor said, I have no idea of promoting the new deal for the time being, this new deal, only in Jibei, this is my promise, so that they don't have to doubt." ”

“……”

This singing and harmony is really dumbfounded.

Isn't this obvious, playing tricks?

The New Deal is indeed confined to Jibei, but it can be ...... But...... The influence of Jibei is very widespread.

As far as Chen Kaizhi is concerned, in fact, the new deal is not in a hurry to be promoted, there is a Jibei in the world, which is enough for the time being, and the land of one province is enough to accommodate more and more industrial and commercial population, and this Jibei will sooner or later become a magnet in the future, squeezing all the prefectures and counties out of the air, and when that time comes, some people want to oppose it, and there is not much power.

The eunuch bowed and saluted, just as he was about to announce Chen Kaizhi's message.

But at this moment, someone stood up, and this person ...... It turned out to be Wu Mengru, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Wu Mengru came out slowly, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks ...... What His Royal Highness King Jing said is not reasonable, but the matter of this new deal can be put aside for the time being, and the ministers have something to do. ”

Chen Kaizhi frowned slightly.

Then he said: "The Qing family is here." ”

Wu Mengru said: "Here in the Criminal Department, a group of thieves were caught, and according to their confessions, they stole hundreds of catties of gunpowder, which were actually stolen from Feiyu Peak. ”

Many people have heard of this case, and there are thieves on Feiyu Peak, and they are stealing gunpowder, which is already suspicious. Besides, if it's just an ordinary thief, what is he going to do to steal gunpowder? Hundreds of catties of gunpowder need to be carried down the mountain, so it is bound to be impossible for one or two people to do it, and it must be a gang crime.

Chen Kaizhi attaches great importance to this case, so he ...... An order has been issued to Jinyi Wei to investigate thoroughly.

But I never imagined that the Criminal Department would solve this case here.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but say, "Oh? What kind of thief, report to me? ”

"There are only four people in the minister's hold, and these four people are just the tip of the iceberg, and according to their explanations, there are as many as 100 people involved in this matter, each with a different division of labor, some are responsible for looking at the wind, some are responsible for stealing, some are responsible for handling, some are responsible for contact, and some are ...... Responsible for the use of these gunpowders. ”

"Using this gunpowder?" Chen Kaizhi's face was a little cold, it was really a wave of unevenness, wave after wave.

Hundreds of pounds of gunpowder, if used, it is a disaster.

Chen Kaizhi: "What are they used for?" ”

Wu Mengru was categorical: "Used in Luoyang Palace." ”

All of a sudden, the entire Zhengde Hall was in an uproar.

Used in Luoyang Palace, this is obviously someone who wants to rebel.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help laughing: "What kind of person, who has such courage to use it in Luoyang Palace, does he have to blow up my palace?" ”

Wu Mengru shook his head again: "To be more precise, it is used in Qianning Palace." ”

Qianning Palace is the residence of the emperor, and all of a sudden, this scope has been reduced a lot.

In other words, as long as these hundreds of catties of explosives can really play a role in Qianning Palace, then ...... Chen Kaizhi must die!

Regicide!

Everyone was in an uproar, at this time, many people didn't have the heart to care about the scholars outside, at least these people could be put aside for a while, Chen Kaizhi sneered: "The palace is heavily guarded, who can transport gunpowder into the palace, this is ...... Isn't it a joke? ”

Wu Mengru shook his head again: "Your Majesty, because there are people in the palace who answer, they confess, and the eunuch Hong En, who is in charge of the inner dining room, has colluded with them. ”

Of course, the ingredients can't go through the palace gate, this is the rule, after all, the gentleman is far away from the kitchen, several important doors in Luoyang Palace, either the emperor travels, or the ministers go in and out, if someone pulls the cart and puts countless chickens, ducks and fish in and out here, what is this like?

Chen Kaizhi thought thoughtfully: "You go on." ”

Wu Mengru said: "After the minister also took the thief last night, he interrogated him overnight, only to learn that now these people are locked up in the prison of the criminal department, according to their confessions, in general, they are walking through a small door, and this small door has always been the entry and exit of lowly people in the palace, although there are guards, but the guards are not strict, and because most of the ingredients are transported, as long as they are properly hidden, transported into the palace in batches, and the fishy smell of raw meat is covered, which is enough to cover people's ears and eyes, and as long as the gunpowder is transported to the inner dining hall, and then, there are eunuchs who secretly respond, Secretly buried it in the Qianning Palace, just waiting for the right time, and then he will do something. ”

Everyone listened to it in a cold sweat, and only felt that their backs were already wet.

If this is the case, this is really possible, and once hundreds of catties of gunpowder break out, as long as His Majesty is still in Qianning Palace, can he still live?

Chen Yishou was shocked: "This ...... Who instructed them and what were they going to do? ”

Wu Mengru's face was calm, but there was a look of worry in his eyes: "According to their confessions, the people in charge of contacting them, one of them, they recognize, has a ...... It is Wu Jing, the eunuch of King Jing's Mansion! ”

Jingwangfu ......

Wu Mengru said, he already bowed to the ground, kowtowed, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't dare to accuse His Royal Highness King Jing, the confession of these thieves, even the minister feels unbelievable, can't believe it, but the evidence is in front of him, the minister doesn't dare not believe it, this matter is very important, I implore Your Majesty, immediately summon the great eunuch Hong En of the inner dining hall, and Wu Jing, the eunuch of King Jing's mansion, as soon as you ask, you will know that the minister is here...... There are several thieves who confess, and these thieves are also in prison......"

Chen Kaizhi glanced at King Jing Chen Yixing.

Chen Yixing's face was grim.

And the ministers felt that the atmosphere had become tense one by one.

Chen Kaizhi said at this time: "Come on, immediately pass on Hong En and Wu Jing, quickly!" ”

The stakes are high, and of course they have to be revealed.

No one expected that the loss of this gunpowder was related to His Royal Highness King Jing.

So everyone didn't dare to come out, someone had already walked out of the hall quickly, and it took a long time for the eunuch to come back in a hurry, saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, Hong En...... disappeared, and the minister was in the inner dining room, and he couldn't find it. ”
