In the first year of Yaoqi, March 11, it is appropriate to marry and mourn, and it is forbidden to move.

Looking at the fold in front of him, Emperor Yaoqi shook his head with a wry smile, and then looked at Empress Zhang, who was still watching the fold on the side, and said a little impatiently: "Don't look at it, it's nothing!" ”

Gently putting down the fold in her hand, Empress Zhang smiled indifferently and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry about this matter, isn't it expected a long time ago?" ”

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Emperor Yaoqi looked at Chen Hong, who was standing on the side, and said helplessly: "Send all these folds to the celebrant and tell them that all those who ask for a retrial of Zhang Juzheng's case will be left behind, and the rest of the folds are being brought to me!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers will do it!" Bowing to Emperor Yaoqi, Chen Hong said respectfully.

Nodding slowly, Emperor Yaoqi asked in a deep voice, "How is the matter that I asked you to investigate?" What's going on out there? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the investigation is almost done, and the news that Your Majesty is going to retry Zhang Juzheng's case is now circulating outside. The people of the capital are very happy, and they are all saying that His Majesty is the Ming Monarch, and the Ming Dynasty is hopeful! Although it was good news, Chen Hong's face did not have the slightest joy, and he spoke quite seriously.

Nodding noncommittally, Emperor Yaoqi smiled indifferently, and said with a mocking expression: "These entries really spare no effort, and there is no room for me to turn around, if I don't do what they say, I will wear the hat of this faint monarch." But if you do what they say, you will fall into their hands, and you will be so clever! ”

Waving his hand at Chen Hong, Emperor Yaoqi said in a deep voice: "You go!" ”

Seeing that Emperor Yaoqi's face was not very good, Empress Zhang gently came over, took Emperor Yaoqi's hand, and comforted him softly: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, let's think about what to do!" ”

"This is the so-called holy disciple, a humble gentleman, persecuting the emperor, is it the duty of a minister? Since you are unkind, then no wonder I am! Smiling coldly, Emperor Yaoqi's expression was quite serious, obviously he had made some important decision!

Regarding Emperor Yaoqi's decision, Empress Zhang was not going to say anything, as a woman, she should not have participated in these things. If it weren't for Emperor Yaoqi letting him approve the fold, and he also wanted to spend more time with Emperor Yaoqi, he wouldn't approve this fold.

Smiling indifferently, Empress Zhang said softly: "Your Majesty, when the concubine was in her hometown, I heard my father say that as a superior person, His Majesty is a kind of knowledge. Your Majesty is the emperor, and the ministers of this Manchu Dynasty are all subordinates of Your Majesty. If you enter more, you will naturally have all kinds of entry, and if your majesty is angry, you will learn about it. If you really don't like it, then send it far away, and you can't see it. Your Majesty, don't be angry about this, if you hurt your body, the gain outweighs the loss! Besides, Your Majesty is still young, and there is still a long time to go! Don't be angry with those old guys, they can still have a few more lives! ”

Gently holding Empress Zhang's hand, Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said, "Hearing you say that, my heart is much better!" Yes o! Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and you can't be in a hurry! ”

Seeing that Emperor Yaoqi's mood was much better, Empress Zhang smiled and said, "Then what is Your Majesty going to do about this matter?" ”

Gao Shen smiled, and Emperor Yaoqi said in a deep voice: "What should I do?" Cold! Aren't these tricks for me? I also have no way out but to drill the trap, so I will play with them. Sometimes it's a good idea to look at something else. As the saying goes, you have your way, I have my way, I'll see whose method is useful! ”

Nodding slowly, Empress Zhang seemed to be quite curious and said, "Your Majesty, what does Your Majesty want to do?" Let the concubine know that she knows! ”

"This? It's about using another thing to catch these by surprise. If you have to be entangled with these people in this matter, I am very passive, but if you change things, it may not be! If you want to know about the orb, then give me a prince first, otherwise don't talk about it! Gently pinching Empress Zhang's petite nose, Emperor Yaoqi said with a laugh.

Emperor Yaoqi was flirting with beauties, but Xu Xianchun was not in the mood, and at this time, the fellow of the brocade guards finally showed his face. A burning charcoal brazier with a red-hot iron in it, and a variety of torture instruments in the room. Tiger chairs, clamping sticks, leather whips, etc., you name it.

Looking at the entry tied to the wooden shelf, Xu Xianchun sat lightly on the chair on the side, and said with a smile: "General Lu, Xu knows that you are a man, and I also admire the general who can kill the enemy on the battlefield, but Xu is also forced to do so!" I hope the general doesn't blame! ”

Lu Lin nodded with a smile, and said quite boldly: "I didn't expect that there would be such an entry as you in the Jinyi Guard, Lu has seen it." However, Lu said in front, everything was done by Lu, Lu confessed, took the confession, and I signed and detained! ”

Slowly stood up, slowly walked to Lu Lin's side, Xu Xianchun said playfully: "General Lu, Xu Mou came to investigate the case of Liaodong by His Majesty's holy order, do you know what Xu will get if I hand over the case like this?" ”

"Naturally, he was promoted and made a fortune, is Bi Jing a great achievement!" Lu Lin looked at Xu Xianchun and said with a smile.

Shaking his head slightly, Xu Xianchun said in a deep voice: "General Lu is joking, you should know that if I hand it over like this, I will definitely be sent to the edict prison." It's me who was interrogated, and it doesn't have to be a house to destroy the house! ”

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xu Xianchun sighed deeply and said in a deep voice: "General Lu, do I mean your general's mind or do I mean you are stupid?" ”

Lu Lin's face suddenly turned red, and he said very dissatisfiedly: "What is this?" If you want to kill or scrape you, why do you want to humiliate me? ”

"Because you lied to me, do you think I'm stupid? This time the catch into your official is the largest. However, in your home, you only copied out 800,000 taels of silver, and although 800,000 taels is not a small amount, it is not less than the huge profits of collaborating with the enemy! A merchant who resold grain also found 800,000 taels at home, and the merchant who resold illicit salt was 1.2 million taels. Although the three of you are the bosses, yours is the most abnormal! Do you think you're stupid, or am I stupid? Pulling Lu Lin's clothes, Xu Xianchun said loudly.

"This, Xu Dajin, Lu doesn't quite understand what you mean!" Glancing at Xu Xianchun, Lu Lin said with a smile.

"Alright! Since you're pretending to be stupid, I'll tell you about it. I have already interrogated the two merchants, one of them sells grain, and the other sells illicit salt. Although the things sold are different, the money given is the same. Your profit is three or seven, three of them, seven of you! In other words, you should have twice as much money as the two of them combined, which is the right thing. Walking slowly around the room, Xu Xianchun said lightly, his voice without the slightest emotion.

But what about the facts? The truth is that the two of them add up to two million taels, and you only have eight hundred thousand taels. If according to your share ratio, you should have more than four million taels of silver, then General Lu, can you please tell me, where did the four million taels of silver go? Gently patting Lu Lin's face, Xu Xianchun said with a smile.

Laughing loudly, Lu Lin looked at Xu Xianchun and said in a deep voice, "Are you crazy?" How is it possible to have so much money here? Are you crazy to be poor? ”

Smiling indifferently, Xu Xianchun said gently: "Liaodong is a place that leads to Mongolia to the west, and Korea and Jiannu to the east, what is this?" This is a place to make a fortune. If it weren't for the strict investigation by the imperial court, it would definitely not be seven or eight million taels of silver, you have been in Liaodong for many years, and you have counted the money yourself for so many years? ”

Looking straight at Xu Xianchun, Lu Lin smiled and said: "Actually, it's not much at all, eight years, eight million taels, only one million taels a year!" Actually, it's not much, but do you know where all the money goes? ”

Nodding slowly, Xu Xianchun smiled and said, "Very good, as long as you admit that you have something behind your back, Xu didn't wronged you, right?" ”

"Even if I don't admit it? Don't you think so? Lu Lin raised his head and said loudly.

"Naturally, I naturally decided it, because my idea was right! As far as I know, General Lu has a younger brother, and he went out of the city with General He in the Battle of Shenyang. When the battle was over, Sun Dashuai sent in to collect the body, but he did not find your brother's body. I wonder if General Lu can tell Xu about your brother's whereabouts? Xu is grateful! Picking up the soldering iron wrapped in cloth and turning it gently, Xu Xianchun asked with a smile.

"What's so strange about the lack of a corpse on the battlefield, thousands of people enter, and the ghost knows where it goes!" Lu Lin looked at Xu Xianchun with a sneer and said loudly.

Slowly shaking his head and smiling playfully, Xu Xianchun said expressionlessly: "General Lu, Xu always thought you were a straightforward man, but I didn't expect it to be so many twists and turns." Sun Dashuai used a counter-strategy, and he needed to find Jiannu and send the news from the city. If I'm not mistaken, this is your brother, right? ”

Looking at Xu Xianchun coldly, Lu Lin said loudly: "You know everything, you still ask me when you know?" Did they tell you? ”

Putting the soldering iron back, Xu Xianchun sat on the chair again, and then said with a smile: "General Lu, your subordinates are not as troublesome as you, Xu Mou just wanted to ask, and they all said it, but they know more about current affairs than you do." They told me that it was you who had agreed to open the gates, so you were not at ease with not entering, so you asked your brother to deliver the letter. But the one you sent to open the gates of the city was exterminated as soon as he went out! ”
