In the prison, the sound of wailing came one after another, and it kept coming. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Xianchun sat behind the table and stared at the suspect in front of him.

"Say! By whom have you been instructed to murder long live today? ”

"My lord, we have been wronged~, wronged~! Adult ......"

At the wedding banquet that day, all the people who served the food in the back kitchen were arrested, imprisoned, and interrogated.

"Still don't admit it?!" Xu Xianchun's eerie appearance makes people shudder. "Bring people in."

At the sound of an order, a man who had his hands and feet cut off and his ears was dragged up.

When the prisoners saw this, they were all shocked and frightened.

The man's face was covered with blood scabs, his eyes were blurred, and he cried out loudly in pain, "I was wronged, I am a cook, and the medicine was not ordered by me~!" I'm wronged, wronged~! ”

The crime of killing the monarch cannot be confessed, it is the crime of the nine clans.

Xu Xianchun said coldly: "If you don't recruit it, then wait to get all the torture tools here." But if you cried out at that time, I believed you. ”

Try the torture instrument all over? Needless to say, it's alive, but the human form is gone.

Xu Xianchun raised his chin at the brocade guard next to him, and someone took a brush stained with salt water, and brushed it vigorously on the cook, and the flesh and blood of the brush were blurred, and he howled miserably.

"My lord, nine thousand years old want to see you." At this time, someone came to report.

Xu Xianchun

As he spoke, Xu Xianchun nodded, got up and walked out, and casually ordered, "You continue to torture!" ”

"Yes!"

Xu Xianchun came to see Wei Zhongxian and reported the interrogation to him.

Wei Zhongxian pondered: "Your Majesty's urging is tight, and Xianchun still needs to have an understanding as soon as possible." ”

"Nine thousand years old means, looking for someone to top?"

Wei Zhongxian also hesitated, this matter, it is not appropriate to find someone to be a substitute for the dead ghost, in case the East Window incident happens, the emperor blames it, this is a trouble. But if you don't explain it for a long time, it won't work. Moreover, what Wei Zhongxian is most worried about is not the emperor's blame, what he is most afraid of is that this incident, after all, happened in Shilang's Mansion, his daughter and son-in-law's house, which will allow the Donglin Party to find loopholes, but they are the ones who suffer, and they can't get rid of suspicion even if they are themselves.

What to do?

……

~~~~~~~~~

The Miscellaneous School Hall was completed for the final stage of completion.

The short construction period is due to the simplicity of the overall building and no need for cumbersome decoration, much like a modern simple house. It's just that it occupies a relatively large area.

Yin Fusheng went to court this day to report the matter.

After the civil and military performance was completed, someone submitted a report on the border pass.

"Your Majesty, Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, said in a letter that there was civil strife in Korea, and Li Liang, the king of Dingyuan, rebelled. Does our army need to send troops to help? ”

This is a big deal, and there is a lot of discussion in the court.

This Yi Liang is the Injo in the history of Joseon. According to historical data, he was sure to win this battle, just to overthrow the tyranny of Haiguangjun. History said: Renzu anyway.

Haiguangjun and Da Ming have many contradictions, although there is no head-on conflict, but as early as in his position on the battle of Ming and Jin, you can get a glimpse of its clues.

Therefore, this time, the Ming officials all stood on the side of Dingyuanjun. Anyway, Liaodong has been recovered, and the soldiers in Dongjiang Town are idle, and they are close to North Korea, so let's go to the aid of Dingyuanjun.

Yin Fusheng raised his eyebrows, Mao Wenlong~, when will I be able to see it.

Speaking of sending troops to aid the DPRK, Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up, and it was a good opportunity to make another profit.

"Since it is necessary to fight the war, military pay is indispensable. So~"

As soon as he said the first half of the sentence, the Donglin Party people were immediately alert, what are you doing? Want to donate money again?

Since Zhu Youxiao opened the head of the donation fund, he has been out of control and has been calling for donations at every turn.

I am worried about these gentry and powerful princes.

Today, when I heard this, I wanted to donate again, and someone from the household department hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, at this time, the treasury is full and can be used for military salaries." ”

Zhu Youxiao pouted, "Disasters occur from time to time in various places, and the silver of the treasury should be prepared for emergencies." According to my intentions, uh~, you Aiqing should donate money. ”

When the old man heard this, he was deflated, he really shouldn't have let him make this head.

"Your Majesty, the civil and military personnel are limited, and after several donations, I am afraid that the family is already stretched. Even if you have a patriotic heart, you can't do anything about it. Zou Yuanbiao said pitifully.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and nodded, "Isn't there still a vassal king?" By the way, you don't have to donate this time, but you have to lobby the giants from all over the world to donate~"

"Giant Merchants~?"

The officials looked at each other.

The hand finally reached out to the merchant.

Zhu Youxiao continued: "This time, if any of you raises a lot of donations, you will be rewarded together with the donor. ”

Again.

Baiguan was speechless.

"Your Majesty, I have donated money several times in a row, and the people have already complained, if you continue to donate, I am afraid that it will cause a civil uprising." Zhao Nanxing said.

"Civil unrest?" Zhu Youxiao said coldly, "Several donations, all of them are only between the civil and military forces of the vassal king, how can the people say it?" ”

The officials were silent.

Yin Fusheng said: "Your Majesty, since Zhao Shangshu is asking for the people's life, it is better to reduce the people's endowment again." However, reducing the people's endowment should also increase other taxes. ”

No one disagrees with tax cuts, but when they hear that other taxes will be raised, some people are worried.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said, "Aiqing is reasonable. Hmm~, then change the "Preferential Exemption Rules". ”

Hearing this, the officials were shocked and persuaded the emperor not to move the ancestral system again.

However, Zhu Youxiao, who has seen many benefits, is no longer the child who was completely controlled by the Donglin Party before.

He already has his own opinions, knows how to do it, in order to have money, and how to do it, so that he, the emperor, will not be in his pocket.

After this set, it was Yin Fusheng of the household department to change the regulations, Wei Zhongxian Jinyi Wei implemented, and the officials supervised.

Yang Lian happily accepted the order, which caused the other members of the Donglin Party to become more and more full.

Yang Lian didn't care about anything else, he did his own thing for the sake of his own business, and then wrote a letter to impeach officials in many places, bent the law for bribes, accepted bribes from landlords, and did not report the matter of acres of land according to the truth.

The people who were impeached also had protégés and relatives of important ministers in the court.

Ye Xianggao narrowed his eyes, looking at Yang Lian's attitude today, it seemed that he was no longer a person on the same road.

Could it be that he was bought by the eunuchs? Already apostated?

The power of the Donglin Party weakened dramatically in just one year.

After the collapse of the Zhejiang Party, the Qi Party belonged to Wei Zhongxian, and coupled with the marriage between Yin Fusheng and the Eunuch Party, the people in the court who were active in their minds had already gone to attach themselves.

Fortunately, before, with Sun Chengzong's plan, the border pass was controlled by Sun Chengzong Yuan Chonghuan, and Wang Zaijin, who was in the way, had been squeezed out.

Sun Chengzong used Jianyu's threat to the border pass to control Zhu Youxiao's last reliance on the Donglin Party.

And now, Ye Xianggao found that Yang Lian, who was trusted by the emperor, also showed signs of defecting to the eunuch party, and he felt deeply uneasy.

What should he do to break the deadlock of the Donglin Party and find a breakthrough among the eunuchs?
