Chapter 39: Chongzhen's Aftermath

From the Lin family, the Mo family and others were beaten by Zhu Yihai from the palace, Zhu Ping'an knew that Zhu Yihai was already palpitating. It's just that he wrote a letter with squid juice, and Cao Wuxian, under the instigation of the palace's inner line, put the threatening letter on Zhu Yihai's desk, and received such an effect, it seems that this Zhu Yihai is not stupid first, and second, this is not very bold. At least in the recent period, Zhu Yihai can't have any other thoughts.

The cooperation with López is also going very smoothly, and the concert for setting up the city division in Dengzhou has also been sent to Jingshi, along with the concert, there is also a letter written by Zhu Ping'an to Wang Chengen, in order to successfully persuade Emperor Chongzhen to agree to this request, Wang Chengen is an indispensable help. Among them, Zhu Ping'an mentioned one thing, in view of the special significance of Dengzhou, Zhu Ping'an built yì Emperor Chongzhen to set up the city of Dengzhou at the same time, appointed his henchmen and eunuchs to come to Dengzhou, and set up a secret inner treasury in this Dengzhou City Bureau.

Regarding this construction, Zhu Ping'an thought about it for a long time. Emperor Chongzhen did the worst plan, but Zhu Ping'an knew that this worst plan would become a reality eight times out of ten. Emperor Chongzhen thought that once the enemy captured Beijing, the imperial family would use the sea passage to retreat to Dengzhou, and then go down the river to Nanjing. People have escaped, but the imperial court needs a large amount of gold and silver to maintain normal operation, and the war is chaotic, and it is unrealistic to transfer the silver from Beijing to Nanjing, and it is easier to be caught by the civil official group, so since the city is located in Dengzhou, it can operate from it, and keep a part of the silver as an emergency.

Zhu Ping'an believed that this reason would definitely convince Emperor Chongzhen. After all, these silver have really fallen into the pockets of the royal family, and now the inner treasury is in the hands of several bigwigs who are in charge of the celebrant supervisor, whenever Emperor Chongzhen wants to use silver, there will always be a storm in the city, not to mention, the eyes of the cabinet and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are also staring at the inner treasury, whenever the war comes, there will always be a sparse construction of the emperor to pay for the use of the internal money, just like this time the governor of Hong Chengchou Guanwai military affairs, that is, from the internal money to pay no less than 500,000 taels of silver.

Of course. Among them, there is Zhu Ping'an's own Xiao Jiujiu. If the silver stays in Dengzhou, it will have an extra guarantee, and if it is really a critical moment, some silver is always right. Although it is not known where history will go. But look at the current situation. Jingshi is ironclad and cannot hold it. Rather than sending the silver to Beijing for nothing, it is better to stay with the insurance of Dolgon, who finally entered the Beijing Division.

After getting his kung fu, Zhu Ping'an had to deal with the Manchu Tartar who intercepted and killed Li Dingguo on the way to Shandong. For his interrogation. It didn't take much effort, Zhu Ping'an mentioned it without a trace, and placed this tartar in a lightless room, not to mention a trace of light, and not even the slightest sound could be transmitted in the house, only enough drinking water and food to sustain life were provided every day, plus Guo Chai and others were strictly guarded to prevent this person from committing suicide. Within five days, the Tartar was on the verge of collapse. Eight days later, the Tartar was worse than dead.

This time, even Guo Chai was surprised. Linglang's eyes are full of torture tools and creative torture methods, but they are useless, and this Tartar is already busy taking the initiative to ask for a confession, which is really unheard of. For several days, Guo Chai looked at Zhu Ping'an's eyes full of little stars of admiration.

The Tartar's name was Nagu, and he was born from the White Banner, and was a slave of Dorgon. This time, he was ordered to sneak into Shandong and tie Sun Heding and his wife back to the customs. The Qing army was also intensively preparing for a decisive battle with the Ming army outside the Guan, trying to eliminate all the strongholds of the Ming army outside the Guanguan in a battle and approaching Shanhaiguan. This meant that a lot of artillery was needed. The Manchus now also had their own artillery units and craftsmen, but the low productivity and efficiency made the quality of their artillery far from meeting the needs of the war, so they also started the idea of Ming artillery craftsmen. And it just so happened that Kong Youde recommended Sun Heding to Huang Taiji and Dolgon.

That's what happened, Nagu in front of him had said this, and he had exhausted the only strength in his body, and collapsed to the ground at once. Guo hurriedly asked the doctor to come over for first aid, and also took clean clothes, these days, Nagu's urine and urine are in the house, this smell is ......, enough to choke!

After the doctor's diagnosis, it was just exhaustion, in a state of panic for a long time, and his mental state was too poor, as long as he rested for two days, there was no major problem. Zhu Ping'an knew that this was such a result, and immediately asked Guo Chai to bring the blessing slimming cream offered by Lopez.

"Give him a piece the size of his finger every day, don't give more at first, after ten days, add a little amount, and after a month, break a day to see his reaction!"

Guo Chai nodded again and again, listening to Zhu Ping'an talk about the danger of this thing, and for a while, his eyes couldn't help but project fear. What a poison that a small piece of plaster can make people lose their minds and become less like people and ghosts!

"López has some more, and I'll deliver them in a few days. But it won't be long before the seeds will come and you will arrange for someone absolutely reliable to plant them, remember, it's top secret! No one is allowed to touch this thing except you, the Netherworld, and the people you designate! ”

"Yes, sir!" Zhu Ping'an said so solemnly, Guo Chai naturally didn't dare to slack off, but he was quite puzzled in his heart. He didn't spend much time with this young adult, but he always had great ideas, and they all worked amazingly, only this time I don't know who he was trying to turn his brain on.

……

Zhu Ping'an's recital was in Jingshi, which arrived five days later, and according to the instructions of Emperor Chongzhen, the recital did not go through the cabinet, but went directly to the imperial front through the guò celebrant supervisor, which was equivalent to a disguised secret fold to participate in the recital.

According to Emperor Chongzhen's will, all the concerts of Zhao Liangdong in Tianjin and Zhu Ping'an in Dengzhou were all sent to the Beijing division through the channels of Dongchang, and even Cao Huachun, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal, had no right to open it.

Cao Huachun looked at the tightly wrapped envelope over and over again, and sighed involuntarily.

Zhang Yunhan on the side hurriedly came up, "Father-in-law wants to see, we have a way in the East Factory, and no one can see the clues." ”

Cao Huachun glared at him and threw the envelope into his arms. "Go, go and send it to the emperor immediately. can let Zhao Liangdong and Zhu Ping'an's letters be handled from our East Factory, which is the trust of the emperor. Don't lose a big deal for a small thing! ”

Zhang Yunhan nodded stupidly, then spread his feet and rushed to the Qianqing Palace.

Cao Huachun couldn't help but feel a little lost. The content of the letter was like a huge feather, constantly tickling his curiosity. He also knew that when it came to the Holy Family, he was no match for Wang Chengen in any way, but since he was in this position, he was destined to lose something. Emperor Chongzhen's idea is so strange, if you have the power, then he must doubt your loyalty, he is always wandering between the two, trying to find a balance between the two.

Just like the appointment of Zhao Liangdong and Zhu Ping'an, Cao Huachun never saw the deep meaning implied. Even though he knew that Wang Chengen and Emperor Chongzhen were carrying out some kind of action in private, but he didn't know anything, Wang Chengen's guy didn't think about the incense of the palace at the beginning, and he didn't reveal a word, this feeling of rejection made Cao Huachun very unhappy.

And Emperor Chongzhen in the Qianqing Palace was not happy. As soon as Zhu Ping'an arrived in Dengzhou, he went on a killing spree, killing most of the officers of the four guards in Dengzhou, this kind of killing decisiveness made Emperor Chongzhen a little frightened, and he had lingering palpitations about this kind of assertive approach, just like the shock and unhappiness brought to him when Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong. Although he knew that Zhu Ping'an had to do it as a last resort, Chongzhen didn't want to see Zhu Ping'an so strong in his heart.

Wang Chengen has been by Emperor Chongzhen's side for more than ten years, and he has a clear understanding of the temperament of this son of heaven. But at this time, he didn't say anything, because he knew that the next content would resolve Emperor Chongzhen's dissatisfaction.

Sure enough, gradually, Emperor Chongzhen's face tended to soften, and he gently threw the finished piece on the dragon case, leaning back, Wang Chengen understood, and immediately quietly walked behind Emperor Chongzhen, and gently massaged his left and right temples with both hands.

"There is nothing wrong with your construction, this Zhu Ping'an does have some ability. However, this person needs to be checked and balanced, and it must not be allowed to grow bigger and lose control. ”

"He is a person who understands, and he knows that what happened in Dengzhou will cause me to worry, so he invited the eunuch of the prison army to come. From my point of view, this city is a reason, I am afraid that he was worried in his heart, so he remembered to do this to calm his heart! ”

"Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen responded nonchalantly.

"Knowing the advance and retreat, knowing the importance of the matter, this person can continue to use it. In this way, I originally planned to let Wang Pin go to Huaiyang to assist Lu Zhenfei, but now it seems that although Dengzhou is small, it is an extremely critical place, so let Wang Pin go to Dengzhou. The general commander of Dengzhou City Botiju Division and Denglai Soldiers and Horses Supervision Army. In this way, there is always someone who can check and balance Zhu Ping'an! ”

Although Wang Chengen already knew that according to Emperor Chongzhen's personality, one day he would personally send someone to supervise Zhu Ping'an, but he never expected that the mission would fall on Wang Pin in the end. From the bottom of his heart, Wang Chengen was unwilling to let Wang Pin go to Zhu Ping'an's side.

Because, this righteous son has his own plans in his heart, although he is loyal to himself, he has already chosen a path that is contrary to himself.

However, Emperor Chongzhen's next words surprised Wang Chengen even more.

"Zhu Ping'an is a child of the clan, and he is still a loyal and reliable talent. But what I fear is that over-inflated authority will cause people to lose their minds, and cause trouble. ”

Wang Chengen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"In the future, once there is a change in society, I am worried about whether he can still maintain this heart. That's why I said that when he made new contributions, I would pardon his father and make him the son of the Tang Dynasty! Wang Chengen, do you understand the deep meaning of this? ”

"The battle between the concubines!" Such a word flashed through Wang Chengen's mind in an instant. (To be continued......)
