With the majesty of Emperor Chongzhen today, Sun Dingxiang, the right deputy of the Inspectorate, said this, which really made the ministers who stood aside in the palace sweat in their palms.

However, after Sun Dingxiang finished speaking, there was silence in the Jianji Palace, and Emperor Chongzhen did not get angry, but just looked at the ministers with an expressionless face, and after a while, asked:

"Who else? Who else has a good song? ”

The officials who were among the ministers all gave Zhang Shenyan in the matter, and saw that the emperor had a seizure because of Sun Dingxiang's fierce words, so he stepped forward, made a big salute, and said:

"Your Majesty! The ministers heard that the ancient people were the country, so that there was no commerce, and the agricultural power was abundant, and the business could not be used to benefit the peasants, and the agricultural disease would be abiding; If the farmer is not able to harvest the grain, he will be sick. Therefore, the trend of business and agriculture is often weighed.

"Today, Your Majesty has punished the sixteen Jin merchant families in Xuanfu, Datong, Shanxi and other places on the charge of being a captive, killed their parents, copied their family property, and confiscated their shops, fields and mansions.

"And Your Majesty originally set up the North and South Envoys, the south proposed to set up Hong Kong for trade, and the north proposed to open the border market, if Your Majesty in the name of the captive, punish the felony in the sixteenth family of the Jin merchants, it will be against Your Majesty's original intention of opening the sea and opening the border!

"If it is a captivity, it is an enemy, that is, it is guilty, and the minister will ask which merchant and people are not allowed to pass through the border opened by the imperial court, and which maritime merchant is not allowed to open the seaport ordered by the imperial court?! If this is the case, I am afraid that everyone in the world will be in danger from now on! Your Majesty's holy candle shines, when you can perceive this, please think twice before acting! ”

After Zhang Shenyan said this, the ministers in the Jianji Hall were in an uproar, and the ministers standing behind exchanged ears and discussed, but no one stood up to second.

During the Ming Dynasty, the status of the three legal divisions of the imperial court was still very high, especially in the trial of various cases, and the results of their examination were much more convincing than the conclusions given by the edict of Jinyiwei.

This time, Emperor Chongzhen did not use the sharp knife of Jinyi Wei Prison, and handed over the case to the Three Law Divisions for trial, with the purpose of using the prestige of the Three Law Divisions.

However, if the trial conclusions brought out by the three law divisions are not accepted by these courtiers, then the so-called Jiuqing will push it next.

The Jiuqing who will be promoted by this Jiuqing is the chief of the Three Law Divisions plus the other five Shangshu and the general political envoys of the General Political Envoy Department in the Six Ministries.

However, Emperor Chongzhen will not hand over the current conclusion of the trial of the Three Law Divisions, which can basically satisfy him, to Jiuqing Hui.

Once this is done, based on historical experience, the results of the Jiuqing Guild will almost certainly be very different from the results of the triage of the three divisions.

Because once the emperor agrees to the Jiuqing meeting, it means that the emperor is not satisfied with the results of the trial of the three law divisions.

Once this attitude is revealed, when Jiuqing will push it, the conclusion of the Three Law Divisions will definitely change.

If it was something else, maybe it could be done.

But in this case, we can't do that, because it's doomed to be self-defeating.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with these two people's worries, even considering that they are both officials from Jindi, they can't be said to be wrong when they think so.

Because what Emperor Chongzhen is doing now is indeed to wipe out the homes of the rich people in Xuanda and Shanxi.

Whether it is Zhang Shenyan or Sun Dingxiang, in fact, these two people are already very subtle.

Because of the news reported by Jinyiwei and Dongchang respectively, many people in the government and the opposition believed that the emperor's purpose of confiscating the wealthy Jin merchants in Xuandashanxi and other places was just to covet the wealth accumulated by these wealthy Jin merchant families for decades and hundreds of years.

After all, after the army won the battle, according to the custom, the imperial court had to reward meritorious soldiers!

However, the imperial court has no money, how can it reward these wolf-like lieutenant generals and colonels?

Therefore, some people who don't know what is going on think that the accusations of why the Jin merchants are capturing the enemy are just another way of saying that they want to add to the crime, and all the purpose is to seize the wealth of these big businessmen.

This statement, although not true, or far from the truth, is quite popular.

Whenever someone mentions this in a teahouse or something like a wine shop, everyone else will smile and make a "you know" expression.

The situation reported by Jinyiwei, as well as the market news reported by Liu Wenbing and Yan Yingyuan through the patrol team of the Soldiers and Horses Division, made Emperor Chongzhen cry and laugh.

It would be terrible if this situation continued like this, although those people under the root of the imperial city just told it as a joke to show that they had someone in the court, and they didn't dare to do anything, but in the long run, the emperor's reputation would be ruined on such rumors.

After listening to the remarks of Sun Dingxiang and Zhang Shenyan, Emperor Chongzhen was about to say something, but suddenly saw that Jia Jichun, the left deputy capital standing in the ranks of civil officials, walked out, so he coughed lightly, steadied himself, and did not speak.

At this time, I only heard Jia Jichun bow forward, and then said, "Your Majesty!" Sun Dingxiang and Zhang Shenyan are selfish and not credible!

"The minister heard that this time the court investigated the crime of treason with the enemy of the wealthy families of the Jin merchants, and involved the descendants of the former dynasty's first assistant Zhang Siwei and the old king of the pavilion Chonggu family.

However, the children of Wang Chonggu's family, there have been many high-ranking officials and eunuchs since Wanli, and his eldest grandson Wang Zhizhen has been in charge of Jinyi Wei for 17 years.

"Secondly, Sun Wang Zhicai, in the Wanli, Taichang, and Tianqi years, he served as the squire of the military department and the governor of the three sides for many years, and it may not be enough to call it a protégé and a former official all over the world, but it is not an exaggeration to say that the protégé is full of mountains and Shaanxi and even Manchu Xuanda!"

After Jia Jichun finished saying this, Sun Juxiang, the right attendant of the ministry, suddenly came out of the ranks, saluted Emperor Chongzhen, turned around and said to Jia Jichun on the spot: "Jia Jichun! What do you mean by that?! ”

Sun Juxiang is Sun Dingxiang's elder brother, this person has been the right servant of the ministry for a long time, the officialdom Shilin style is still good, after Emperor Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, he has always done his duty, and there is no out-of-the-ordinary performance, so he has been doing his official servant in peace.

However, at this time, seeing that this former eunuch who betrayed the eunuch party and led the emperor's attention from the issue of punishing the crime and capturing the Jin merchants in the direction of party struggle, he immediately stood up and stopped it.

However, Jia Jichun is not a good stubble, after listening to Sun Juxiang's words, he first smiled, then bowed in the direction of Emperor Chongzhen, and said:

"Behind the Jin Merchants is the Western Party! And behind the Western Party, of course, in the past, Zhang Siwei, Wang Chonggu and Ma Ziqiang, as for now-"

Speaking of this, Jia Jichun suddenly turned around, pointed at Sun Juxiang, and said sharply: "Now it's your Sun Juxiang and the former assistant Han Yi behind your Sun Juxiang!" ”

After saying this, Jia Jichun ignored the uproar in the Jianji Palace, and continued to say loudly: "Back then, Zhang Siwei, Wang Chonggu, and Ma Ziqiang were each other's relatives above the court, and each other were in-laws under the court!"

"And these three people are all from Shanshan wealthy businessmen, and they have always used business to support officials and protect businessmen with officials! Now the merchants of the Qin and Jin dynasties are walking in the north and capturing the enemy, not a source of water and a tree without roots! Its origin lies in the body of your generation Qin Jinxi Party! ”

In the uproar in the Jianji Palace, Jia Jichun once again pointed at Sun Juxiang and the others, and asked:

"This time the Jin merchants collaborated with the enemy, does the Puzhou Wang family have a letter with your brother? Does the former Shoufu Han Yi have a letter with your brother? ”

Jia Jichun's repeated questioning made Sun Juxiang speechless.

Sun Dingxiang is his younger brother, he is also a minister in the court, he himself has been an official in the ministry for many years, and as a servant of the ministry, it is a taboo thing to meet with foreign officials privately at any time, or to contact foreign officials.

Whether it is in the middle or outside, there are often countless eyes staring at themselves.

Therefore, Sun Juxiang has always been honest and self-controlled.

However, his younger brother, as the right deputy of the Imperial Governor's Office, often needs to contact various places, which is also a kind of power or responsibility that the deputy imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate needs to accept civil scholars or local reports.

After the people of Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi entered Shanxi, they wantonly arrested wealthy merchant families in various places in the name of Jin merchants, making the Zhang family and the Wang family in Puzhou rumored that they were all soldiers, and they naturally sent people to Beijing to find Sun Juxiang and Sun Dingxiang's brothers for help.

After all, these two brothers are both born in Shanxi, and one is an official who is a servant of the Ministry of Officials, and the other is an official who is the right deputy of the Imperial Palace, and they are all high-ranking officials in the court among the Jinshi who were born in Shanxi Shilin.

Because of this, Jia Jichun's words made Sun Juxiang speechless, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, I only heard Jia Jichun continue: "It's just a few businessmen sitting on Jia, and since they have committed the crime of being captured, they have their own laws and regulations to deal with it, if you don't have a party and private affairs, why do you obstruct the conclusion reached by the three law divisions!?" ”

When Sun Juxiang heard this, his face was full of anger, he pointed at Jia Jichun, and said loudly: "You! You! Jia Jichun! You eunuch remnant, how dare you be so confused and bloody!? ”
