In the edict prison, usually this must not be slow to be treated and the good life is served has two meanings, one is the original meaning of the words, the real good life must not be slow, the other is the opposite, the so-called good life service, I am afraid I don't know how to torture it.

Although Li Guorui, the Marquis of Wuqing, has never been in the edict, he has not heard of the various methods of Jinyiwei, and it is not unheard of the tortured people who are not ghosts or ghosts to behead officials, as soon as he heard Cao Huachun explain this, he was immediately frightened, paralyzed to the ground, and begged for mercy.

"Don't, don't put me in prison, Gong Cao, Gong Cao, don't you just want money, how much you want, I donate, I donate ...... all"

Cao Huachun smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, he knew that the emperor wanted him to come not just to take out the silver in the pocket of Li Guorui, the Marquis of Wuqing, but to use Li Guorui as a chicken to kill chickens and make an example to deter hundreds of officials. So he looked disgusted, raised his leg and kicked Li Guorui away.

"Still stunned, press people down!"

Jinyi Wei got the order and dragged Li Guorui, who was crying wolf, down. Next, there is a large-scale raid, this time the raid is completely violent, not asking for anything else but a quick word. Cao Huachun's ability to do things is really good, just when he was in charge of the lamp, a brocade guard came to report: "Report to Cao Gong, roughly copy 500,000 taels of silver!" ”

Cao Huachun gasped, and in just one afternoon, he actually copied out 500,000 taels of silver in this house, and the Li family of the Marquis of Wuqing was really rich. Thinking of the farce of Li Guorui selling furniture and utensils on the street, I feel that this guy is very hateful.

"Go on and copy it, and don't spare even a copper plate, and the rest of the men will carry the money to my household. Also, first copy this account book, and our family will go into the palace to report the good news to the Lord Banzai! ”

After a while, Zhu Youzhen got Cao Huachun's good news, Li Guorui's home copied out 500,000 taels of silver, and he dared to cry poor and smear the royal face. Zhu Youzhen felt that he could no longer tolerate it, so he ordered Li Guoqing's title to be stripped of on the spot, and ordered his family to move out of Beijing and repatriate to his hometown, while Li Guorui himself was punished by the edict of the crime.

As soon as the news of Marquis Wu Qing's seizure spread, the officials no longer dared to use the trick of selling furniture and utensils to fight against the eunuchs' forced borrowing, but they were still unwilling to take money from their own pockets. Because everyone knows that although the household department is in the name of this loan, but the treasury has been in deficit year after year, and the world is full of smoke and war, it is still unknown how many years after this money is lent out, it is still unknown, which is equivalent to a waste, and it is no different from donating it, but it is just a nice name.

In the face of this tremendous pressure, some people have gradually lost confidence and have lent their lifelong savings to eunuchs who come to their homes to force them to borrow. When one person is willing to borrow, then there is a second, and then there is a third, and then there is a fourth, and so on. Just when the ministers gradually lost the heart of resistance, an accident happened.

Li Guorui, the Marquis of Wuqing, committed suicide in prison. This is not a big deal, but there are not a few relatives of the emperor in Jingshili, and Li Guorui's death immediately aroused their hatred and hatred, and they openly accused Zhu Youzhen of ignoring family affection and kindness and abusing relatives, which is really cold-blooded. Then the relatives joined forces to boycott the household loans, and the momentum was extremely strong for a while.

The relatives killed halfway, and immediately gave hope to the officials, and when they faced the eunuchs who were forced to borrow, their attitudes also turned 180 degrees and hardened.

Faced with the criticism of his relatives, Zhu Youzhen was also guilty, and after tossing and turning all night, he actually regretted his previous decision. At the same time as burying Li Guorui, Li Cunshan, the son of Li Guorui, attacked the title of Marquis of Wuqing, and returned all the 500,000 taels of silver that had not been hot in his hands.

With the episode of Marquis Wu Qing's suicide, no one in Beijing was willing to lend money to the household department, and the eunuchs were allowed to grind hard and hard, and they couldn't get any money.

At this time, the Shanhaiguan direction sent a six-hundred-mile express delivery, Sun Chengzong frankly Chen Guan's appearance, the Jiannu army did not withdraw, still left tens of thousands of people outside the Shanhaiguan Guard, as for Li Xin to guard Jinzhou, it was besieged by nearly 100,000 people in the Daishan Department, and it is said that the army was also transferred from the direction of Liaodong to step up the siege of the city, and there was a great posture of not breaking Jinzhou and not giving up.

Sun Chengzong's letter was very long, which mainly expounded the great gains and losses of Jinzhou, although it was not explicitly stated, but Zhu Youzhen saw that the loss of Jinzhou had a bad impact on the imperial court. But he had no choice, the silver in his hand had to be returned, and if the court could not recruit troops, there would be no troops to adjust, and there were only more than 50,000 people in Shanhaiguan, and the Tartars were not on the same order of magnitude at all, and they were afraid that they would die in vain if they went out rashly.

Zhu Youzhen really wanted to keep Jinzhou, but he was helpless, as the emperor, he was experiencing the feeling of powerlessness all the time, he felt that he was now like an ant on a hot pot, struggling in vain, but he couldn't climb out of the hot pot.

However, fortunately, Sun Chengzong also said that according to the news brought back by Liu Yuliang, Li Xin had already made preparations in Jinzhou City, and it was not difficult to face the heavy army for half a year......

At the moment when his mind was chaotic, Zhu Youzhen suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought of the case of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau greedy for a million pieces of silk, and the value of a million pieces of silk was more than five million taels, and if half of them could be recovered, it would be more than two million taels, and it would be enough to fight the battle in Liaodong.

Originally, he was still hesitating to send Sun Ji back to Liaoxi, but at this moment he had made up his mind.

"Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen!"

"The old slave is here!"

"Is Sun Jie's ticket to Nanjing going to be approved?"

Wang Chengen bowed down and replied: "I am still waiting for the Long Live Holy Judgment, and I have not approved the red!" ”

"Let's approve it, let Sun Ji leave for his post immediately! Sue him, I only gave him three months, no, two months, to dig out the silver that the greedy silverfish in Jiangnan had swallowed! ”

"The old slave commands!"

That night, Sun Jiao received a holy decree, and he immediately said that he would go to Beijing to face the saint and give his advice. The eunuch who could pass the decree came with Jinyiwei, in order to prevent Sun Ji from entering the palace to make extraneous branches, and even if he refused, he said: "The emperor has decreed that Sun Ji must leave for the south immediately after receiving the decree!" ”

After that, the eunuch said to the brocade guards behind him: "Next, I will work hard for you, and escort Sun Butang to the south!" ”

Sun Ji still didn't give up, but he felt that something was wrong, so he pulled the eunuch over and asked, "Excuse me, did the saint receive the express delivery from Liaoxi?" ”

How could the eunuch reveal the emperor's behavior at will, shook his head and said: "Our family doesn't know, our family only knows that the emperor ordered Sun Butang to set off for the south now!" ”

The answer I got was also expected, if the eunuch's mouth was loose like a bitch's belt, I am afraid that his head would have fallen to the ground long ago. But he felt a hint of unusual flavor from this, combined with the recent uproar of big loans, and the death of Marquis Wu Qing, he seemed to faintly feel that there was a pair of invisible hands behind this that pushed the whole situation forward like rolling wheels.

Thinking of this, Sun Ji was stunned for a while, and almost fell to the ground, thanks to the eunuch's quick hand to help him up.

"Hey, Sun Butang can stand up, hurry up and get on the road, it's too late to be punished!"

After that, the eunuch went away with his entourage, but the Jinyi guards who came with him all stayed, silent, and stared at Sun Ji with fierce eyes, just like supervising the prisoners in the edict. Sun Ji sighed secretly and said to the brocade guards: "Wait a minute, Sun Ji will pack a few clothes and go on the road!" ”

One of the brocade guards said indifferently: "Sun Butang doesn't have to bother, the first few brothers are already ready to stop, and the ministry just needs to wait with me on the road!" As he spoke, several brocade guards were already quietly standing behind Sun Jiao.

Sun Ji had no choice but to follow the brocade guards on their horses, galloped all the way, and left the Beijing Division to the south. At this moment, he was in turmoil, but he didn't know if he would have the opportunity to see that sincere and enthusiastic man in the army again.

A kind of premonition is always lingering in their hearts, and many people in the DPRK seem to wish that Li Xin would die in Jinzhou, and the gains and losses of Jinzhou seem to have nothing to do with them.

Sun Jie's heart was dripping blood and shouting. He really wanted to ask the emperor, is this country or not your Zhu family's country, and is this Ming Dynasty not your Zhu family's Ming Dynasty? Are you so stupid, allowing the ghosts to live in the temple and the traitors to control the government? Can you bear to see this great mountain and river destroyed in your hands?

At this moment, Sun Jiao suddenly thought of Hai Rui, who had reported "Public Security Sparse" to Emperor Jiajing. He suddenly laughed, he was laughing at himself, he was laughing at Hai Rui. Knowing that the emperor is a dimwitted monarch, he still hopes that he can clear his vision, drive away the traitorous ministers, clear the situation, and return the Ming Dynasty to a bright future.

Not to mention anything else, it can be seen from the current Shengshang's handling of the Marquis of Wu Qing, who does not follow the law in everything, acts with likes and dislikes, but goes back on his word, and leads to the failure of borrowing money, I am afraid that this matter has also become an incentive for the emperor to make up his mind to send him south.

Sun Ji left the capital and went south, Zhu Youzhen also had more confidence in his heart, he at least knew that Sun Ji was both loyal and capable, as long as those silverfish in Jiangnan were really greedy for silk, this person would definitely be able to pull the silver out of those people's mouths.

But it is far water, and it can't quench the thirst of the near, and now it has to focus on borrowing. The officials were still resisting, so Zhu Youzhen decided to change his routine and decided to start with Zhou Guozhang, the father of Queen Zhou, and let him set an example for the hundred officials.

Zhu Youzhen went to Empress Zhou's bedroom that night...... Early the next morning, the eunuchs in the palace of Queen Zhou left the Forbidden City and went straight to Zhou's house.
