(Thanks to he20hattie, Bread84, Imperial Squint Eye World, lmxy, Consequence Style Method for voting for valuable monthly tickets, thank john01b, Bread84 for their tips, thank Bread84 for their birthday red envelopes, thank you.) )

Su Tiancheng, who was thousands of miles away, also carried out a small-scale discussion in the governor's yamen, but this discussion was completely different from the discussion in Wenhuadian, because he had learned some secret information through various means.

More than half a year has passed, and the overall development situation in Shaanxi is good, at least the common people have settled down, and the benefits of the mutual market have exceeded Su Tiancheng's expectations, and the monthly taxes that can be received are close to 500,000 taels of silver.

Song Gonglun set up a secret trading point in the market of the mutual market, in this trading point, you can engage in the business of arms, the arquebus, knives, guns, bows and arrows and other weapons of the Ming Dynasty can be traded, and even a part of the Franco machine artillery and tiger squat cannon can also be traded, not to mention the profit of this transaction.

Not only the Mongolian tribes, but also the Houjin secretly sent merchants to purchase goods in the mutual market.

In such a situation, Su Tiancheng opened his eyes and closed his eyes, as long as he could make money and control the situation, it would not be a big deal, the ammunition for arquebuses and artillery needed to be provided by Daming, otherwise it would be a pile of scrap iron, as for knives, guns, bows and arrows, they could be traded at a high price, why not.

The expenses of the Jiangning camp can be fully guaranteed, which is the most important premise.

After the start of the mutual market, the commotion of the Mongolian tribes began to increase, and some of the strong tribes began. Dissatisfied with the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe occupying such good resources, they began to launch some large-scale attacks, Su Tiancheng even asked Song Sijun, if conditions permitted, to support the Xibe and Daurian tribes with some firearms, so that they could fight each other fiercely.

Hou Jin also knew such a situation. But there is no way, the Jiangning battalion is stationed in Shaanxi, Shaanxi has formed a new army, and the combat effectiveness is not the same, in this case, Houjin does not dare to send troops to Mongolia for the time being, if it encounters the siege and attack of the Jiangning battalion and the new army, the losses will definitely be heavy.

Of course, Su Tiancheng needs to grasp the core. It's just that the technique can never be revealed.

The development of flowering shells, including the technical progress of flintlock pistols and artillery, these are all top secrets, and they must not be leaked.

The dark line is completely footed in the market of the mutual market.

Such a short period of time. Because of Su Tiancheng's support, Qu Qingze personally arranged the arrangement. The dark line has been able to collect all aspects of intelligence, and their tentacles have gradually extended into the hinterland of Houjin, and they have begun to grasp some key situations of Houjin, and these information are combined with the information provided by Huang Zaisheng, so that Su Tiancheng began to slowly understand many situations of Houjin.

This time. Through the dark line, Su Tiancheng learned that among the officials in Shaanxi, there was a force of opposition, and this force was used by some people in the court. It is playing an active role, and the impeachment that appeared in the middle of the imperial court has a close relationship with certain officials in Shaanxi.

Therefore, the focus of this small-scale meeting held at the governor's yamen was to discuss this issue.

Present at the meeting were Zhu Xianxuan, Zhu Youxiang, Hong Chengchou, Qu Qingze, Su Pingyang, Su Jun and others.

After Su Tiancheng reported all the circumstances, everyone's expressions were already very unsightly.

Zhu Xianxuan spoke first.

"How can there be such a situation, pedantic, they don't look at the changes in Shaanxi, just say that Hanzhong Mansion, in the past, was full of displaced people, lonely and wild, the people and the government are completely opposed, it is possible to join the team of rogues at all times, the government is invincible, there is no way to come up with a good way, look at the current situation, the people are at ease to farm, although life is not very rich, but finally settled down, such a situation, they do not pay attention, always say the practice of Shaanxi, There are precursors of rebellion, bastards, and in my opinion, these people should be killed. ”

As soon as Zhu Xianxuan finished speaking, Zhu Youxiang also spoke.

"My opinion is the same, we must not be soft, these people are a scourge in Shaanxi, and they cannot be spared, and when necessary, use the sword of Shang Fang, and they cannot continue to be arrogant."

The rest of the people spoke one after another, and their views were similar.

After everyone expressed their positions, Su Tiancheng spoke.

"These voices in Shaanxi, this is a very normal situation, we are divided into two categories, for example, Chen Yutai, belongs to the pedantic category, he always looks at what happened in Shaanxi from his own understanding, everything that is not in harmony with the ancestral system, is a big rebellion, it is not good, so spare no effort to attack, so that it has been used by others, and Pu Kaiqiang and others, their ideas are not like this, the previous situation in Shaanxi, the current situation, they are all aware of the Tao, the change is obvious, But they also colluded with some adults in the court, thinking of overthrowing everything at present, and their hearts can be punished. ”

"What should we do, whether to find a way to get rid of them, or to allow them to continue to make trouble behind their backs, maybe this question is said, you think it's funny, this is not something that can be chosen, but I think, it is better not to move them, if Shaanxi is up and down, it is all monolithic, we may be really in danger."

When Su Tiancheng said this, everyone was silent.

Everyone understands the meaning of this.

Mandarin Palace, the questioning continues.

It's almost time to say it, just wait for Sun Chengzong to speak.

Sun Chengzong stood up, he was seventy-five years old, and the emperor specially decreed that Sun Chengzong could sit down no matter what time it was, which was a gift, and it showed his importance to Sun Chengzong.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a letter here, which was sent by Lord Su Tiancheng, the governor of Shaanxi, and the minister also asked the emperor for permission to read it out here."

Zhu Youzhen nodded.

"Okay, let's ask Yang Aiqing to read it out, Sun Aiqing is old, so pay attention to her body."

Seeing Zhu Youzhen's attitude, Wen Tiren's heart began to sink, he said so much, and he pointed to the key place, but the emperor still didn't show anything, and he still cared about Sun Chengzong's body, it seems that Sun Chengzong had already prepared, and there must have been some communication between Emperor He. The most terrible thing is that Su Tiancheng wrote a letter.

Thinking of Su Tiancheng's ability, Wen Tiren felt that he might have taken this wrong step.

Yang Sichang began to read the letter.

With Yang Sichang's reading, the inside of the Wenhua Hall slowly quieted down.

Su Tiancheng's letter, in half of the sense, is a letter of justification, defending Sun Chengzong, and also explaining his own behavior, and the other half of the meaning is to summarize the lessons of history and count the tragedies formed by suspicion in all dynasties, which are all familiar stories, such as Yue Fei in the Southern Song Dynasty, Meng Kuo and others in the Qin Dynasty.

Su Tiancheng made a summary after the last, thinking that suspicion can exist, everyone has their own thoughts, but the purpose of this suspicion is to be loyal to the emperor and responsible for the Ming Dynasty.

Su Tiancheng confessed his worries, but made it clear that he was loyal to the emperor, the court, and the Ming Dynasty, and his inner idea was to let the Ming Dynasty stand at the peak.

After the letter was read out, Zhu Youzhen spoke.

"Sun Aiqing, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"The minister is grateful to the emperor, when he learned of these impeachments, the minister once thought about leaving the court, life is rare for seventy years, the minister is so old, I don't want to get involved in these rights and wrongs, but the minister is deeply favored by the emperor, so irresponsible to leave, he went underground one day, it is also a shame, so the minister has thought about it, and he must explain the things clearly."

"The minister has no idea of rebellion, as for the situation after a few years, the minister has also thought about it, the minister wants to ask Lord Wen, you have been the head of the cabinet for six years, is it a monstrous power, if it is according to the old man's understanding, after a period of time, your protégés are all over the world, don't I know that you Lord Wen are the emperor."

"This kind of theory, the minister really doesn't understand, why will it come out of the mouth of the cabinet chief assistant Wen, I am loyal to the emperor, do my best, do things well, it is my duty, if in the process of doing things, always think about their own interests, as Su Tiancheng said, his heart is not right, then I am afraid there is really a problem."

"The minister has never had such thoughts, the minister believes, Su Tiancheng will not have such thoughts, all the letters written by Su Tiancheng to the minister, the minister has reported to the emperor, the emperor has also read these letters, the minister can pat his chest and say, these letters, all are related to the development of my Ming Dynasty."

"There is a sentence that should not be said, whoever has a wrong mind may look at others with such eyes, speculate on others, and have a selfless heart and a wide world."

"Your Majesty, the minister is done."

Wen Tiren's face turned pale, and his body shook, he never imagined that it would be such an ending.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Sun Chengzong and slowly spoke.

"I see that today's inquiry is very good, the clear are self-purifying, and the turbid are self-turbid, I hope that all of you Aiqing will be like Sun Aiqing, always remember the affairs of the imperial court, always think about the development of my Ming Dynasty, you can unite as one, why worry that the people will not be able to have enough food and clothing, why worry that the Liukou will not be able to exterminate, why not be able to recover the ...... of Liaodong"

Wen Tiren was helped out of the Wenhua Palace, his heart was cold, it seemed that he was going to be interesting, and he submitted his resignation as soon as possible, so as not to be kicked out of the cabinet and the court by the emperor and lose face. (To be continued......)
