Chapter 115: Chongzhen's doubts

Yu Xiang presided over the high-level military secret meeting of the Governor's Palace, which was attended by Wang Chengen, Zhuge Shanzhen, Jia Binjiu, Liu Xiangyi, Zheng Xiancheng and others. There was a discussion on how to deal with Ao Bai and the poisonous butterfly girl, and everyone expressed their opinions, and most people agreed to execute them to prevent future troubles.

In the end, everyone set their eyes on Yu Xiang, who had been quietly listening to everyone's discussion.

Yu Xiang saw that the time was ripe, cleared his throat and said: "Huang Taiji has coveted the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and for the capable people of the Ming Dynasty, those who can be encircled, will not hesitate to spend a lot of money, and those who cannot be coaxed will do everything possible to get rid of them." He used a discord strategy, causing Yuan Chonghuan to be unjustly killed for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, which led to the fact that the gate of our Ming country was not tight. ”

When everyone heard him say this, they were all surprised, because the whole Ming Dynasty thought that Yuan Chonghuan collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, and he deserved it, but he didn't expect the governor to say that he was unjustly killed, and if this was spread, I don't know what disaster it would cause.

Yu Xiang looked at everyone's expressions, knew what they were thinking, ignored them, and continued: "Huang Taiji allows for literature and martial arts, repairs political affairs internally, crusades in the field, uses soldiers like gods, and is invincible. There are many talents around him, his own brother Dolgon is a very powerful character, if the Ming Dynasty is still fighting in the nest and fighting each other, the Ming Dynasty will sooner or later fall into the hands of the Qing people, and the Chinese civilization will suffer a huge disaster. Although I am in the Central Plains, I have always made all preparations for the Qing people as opponents, and sooner or later there will be a battle with them. Therefore, I decided to humiliate their first warriors, provoke them, and make them take the initiative to duel with me. ”

When everyone saw Yu Xiang at this time, a burst of light burst out in their eyes, which made everyone tremble.

Jia Binjiu asked, "Then how should we deal with these two people?" ”

Yu Xiang said categorically: "Abolish their martial arts, break one leg and arm of Ao Bai and the Poison Butterfly Female Charm, and then let them go and let them beg to return to the Dao Pass." You send people to protect them secretly and make sure they can get back to the border alive. The purpose is to let the Qing people know that those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away! ”

Jia Bin laughed for a long time and said, "It's okay, don't worry." It's a small thing to ensure that the task is completed. ”

Yu Xiang said meaningfully: "Lao Jia, we must also establish an intelligence network outside the customs, collect intelligence from the Qing people, know ourselves and know the enemy, and win all battles." The Qing people know me well, and we are a black man to the Qing people! ”

Jia Binjiu took the order with a serious face this time, without a hippie smile, he knew the arduousness of this task.

In the end, Yu Xiang instructed to carry out the most severe campaign to crack down on the underworld and eliminate evil in Luoyang City, and to take the opportunity to wipe out all the eyeliner planted by the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Luoyang and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

The next day, martial law was imposed throughout the city, and a proclamation was issued, stipulating that within one day, those who surrendered themselves could be given leniency in accordance with the "Wartime Amnesty Law."

In the morning, there was no movement, and in the afternoon, there was a bustle in front of the governor's yamen, and there was an endless stream of people who came to turn themselves in.

According to the intelligence and the information provided by the surrenderers, the New Guard launched a search and arrest throughout the city with the momentum of a thunderbolt, dug out the eyeliner planted by the Qing people in Luoyang, and completely destroyed the intelligence network of the Qing people in Luoyang.

On the execution ground, Wang Chengen and Liu Fengyuan were imprisoned, and Ao Bai and the poisonous butterfly girl were accompanied by the execution.

After the execution, Ao Bai and the poisonous butterfly girl breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had escaped, but she didn't expect that Gui Xinshu stepped forward, couldn't help but say, shot like electricity, ten fingers like steel claws, and grabbed the pipa bones of Ao Bai and the poisonous butterfly girl with both hands, and only listened to Ao Bai and the poisonous butterfly girl scream, their pipa bones were pinched and shattered at the same time, and their martial arts were all wasted, Gui Xinshu retreated, and several big men with thick wooden sticks came up, and beat one of the legs and arms of the two of them, and the leg bones and arms of the two were discounted. Lang Zhong bandaged them with medicine to save their lives. After a few days of recuperation, he was thrown out of the Henan boundary. The two had to limp and beg to return to the gate. The hardships and tragic conditions along the way can be imagined, and whenever they can't persevere, they will be helped by 'well-wishers'. It was only a few months before they returned to Guanwai.

After experiencing this vigorous campaign to fight crime and eliminate evil, Luoyang City does not close its doors at night and does not leave any roads, in this troubled era, it is absolutely incredible.

The new currency was smoothly issued, postal savings banks and private banks sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, various yamen and institutions gradually entered normal operation, public officials were full of enthusiasm, Luoyang's commercial activities gradually prospered, the streets were clean and tidy, everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, and Luoyang City was a thriving scene.

Miss Xu San sat next to Yu Xiang, watched him write a textbook, and handed the peeled fruits to Yu Xiang's mouth one by one, Yu Xiang opened his mouth tacitly, bit it, and chewed it slowly. She was curious to see those strange symbols, which were like heavenly books, and asked, "What is this?" ”

"This is a mathematical symbol, but it can be of great use, and it is extremely convenient to do arithmetic, and in the future, when our children are five years old, they will be able to do business with arithmetic." Yu Xiang said, touching her belly with his hand.

"Can you count at five?" Miss Xu San didn't believe it at all, unless this kid was a genius, at the moment, it would be too difficult to ask a bookkeeper who could count, and most ordinary people would not be able to count in their lives.

Yu Xiang nodded, gave a positive answer, Miss Xu San, who has a keen sense of smell, immediately asked Yu Xiang to teach her to use these number symbols, Yu Xiang was very happy to teach her some simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, this Miss Xu San is really not simple, she learned in just a few days, she returned to Side, opened a short-term arithmetic training, and asked the junior two of the running hall to come to receive training. After the success of the first class, he carried out arithmetic learning throughout Xu Ji, and in the end, Xu Ji's young guys can count, which surprised his peers, and the guys who can count at the moment are all scarce talents.

Besides, Emperor Chongzhen constantly sent Jinyi Wei to collect information about Henan, and he began to have doubts about Yu Xiang, fearing that Yu Xiang would develop too fast and too powerful, and he would not be able to control it at that time. But at present, he didn't dare to touch Yu Xiang rashly, for fear of causing a bigger mess, so he was very entangled.

Emperor Chongzhen often sat in the imperial study recently, repeatedly watching the sword that Yu Xiang gave him, and his heart was heavy, a few days ago, when he learned that Yu Xiang decided to release Ao Bai and the poisonous butterfly girl charm, he said "Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!" With this sentence, he repeatedly said 'I', could it be that Yu Xiang was already resentful? Especially learned that Yu Xiang released Liu Fengyuan and those scholars without a request, which was against the emperor's order, and he had to ask for a decree first.

Not only that, Yu Xiang set up a new education system in Henan. The new education system is very different from the original private school, with 13 years of free education, five years of primary school, three years of secondary school, and five years of higher education. Because it was free, it meant that education that was previously only available to the children of officials and gentry, and that the children of the poor also had access to education.

The learning content is also very different from the current one, mainly learning stories of Chinese language, mathematics, physics, and law. Replace the original Four Books and Five Classics. The Four Books and Five Classics mainly promote loyalty and patriotism, and the new education system does not show any traces of loyalty to the monarch, is this anti?

The purpose of using these legal stories to let children have a correct view of right and wrong, cultivate a sense of understanding the law and abiding by the law, and achieve law-abiding from the baby. From secondary school onwards, law is a compulsory subject. But there are many places in Henan's legal system that contradict the laws of the Ming Dynasty, does Yu Xiang want to establish his own court?

Another point is that Luoyang is building an office building for the Anti-Corruption Ombudsman, second only to the school, with the aim of demonstrating the determination of the ruler to be honest. It is mainly used to receive petitioners, so that the people can redress their grievances, change the situation that the prefect and county were in charge of everything before, and implement the first question responsibility system, once the clean government supervisor receives the case, he must personally do it, verify and handle it, and can not transfer it out until the whole case is completed. It has changed the situation where the local leader is in charge of everything. Emperor Chongzhen vaguely felt in his heart that this was also a provocation to the absolute imperial power, and now all the affairs of the Ming Dynasty were decided by his emperor, if all places followed suit, what use would he have as an emperor in the future?

The rapid changes in Henan made Chongzhen feel uneasy, but he didn't dare to discuss this matter with the courtiers, because not long ago he exiled Liu Fengyuan, and now the courtiers all think that Chongzhen favors Yu Xiang, yes, no one dares to say.

Fortunately, Huang Taiji wanted to get rid of Yu Xiang, which made him feel gratified, indicating that the Ming Dynasty still had characters who made the Manchus jealous, the Manchus were an opponent that gave Chongzhen a headache, and they invaded from time to time, if Yu Xiang deterred them, they would not dare to be so unscrupulous about the plundering and aggression of the Ming Dynasty.

Today's plan can only be taken one step at a time. There is another thing that is very strange, that is, the four Liu brothers and the confidant eunuch Wang Chengen sent to Henan seemed to be bought by Yu Xiang, and unanimously said good things about him, which made Chongzhen wonder if they were bought by Yu Xiang.

Chongzhen in history, because of suspicion, killed the ministers in vain, resulting in the destruction of the Ming Dynasty, and now Chongzhen, Henan is just stable, and began to be suspicious of Yu Xiang.

Just when he was thinking a lot, Zhao Jiacheng asked to see him.

Zhao Jiacheng entered the house and reported to Chongzhen the situation of Gao Qiqian that he had investigated, and when Gao Qiqian was an inspector, he accepted bribes from local officials, ran for local officials in the capital, and when supervising the construction of water conservancy projects, he accepted bribes and turned a blind eye to the quality of the project, so he accumulated a huge amount of property.

When Chongzhen heard about the huge amount of property, he was so angry that he slapped his hand heavily on the table, and immediately sent a decree to confiscate Gao Qiqian's property.

Zhao Jiacheng led people to seize 200,000 taels of silver, several thousand taels of gold, and countless antiques and jade artifacts in a luxurious courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing.

Chongzhen saw the confiscated financial list, sat back on the dragon chair heavily, remembered Yu Xiang's hint to him, and said in his heart: What is this Yu Xiang going to do? How does it seem that everything is prescient?

Although Chongzhen is Yu Xiang's absolute supporter, when he saw that Yu Xiang had managed Henan in an orderly manner in just a few months, and even King Fu, who he was in awe, was also cleaned up, Chongzhen's heart changed dramatically. Obviously, Yu Xiang has already made great achievements, and Chongzhen is even thinking, if Yu Xiang rebels, who should he send to fight against him?

Who are the capable people in the army? Xiong Wencan? Lu Xiangsheng? Wu Sangui? Zuo Liangyu? Are they really Yu Xiang's opponents?
