Chapter 590 is a lie
Wen Tiren's urging caused Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan to have a major miscalculation. Of course, they didn't know that so many things were happening in the court now, and they thought that this was what Emperor Chongzhen was thinking.
At that time, Emperor Chongzhen was indeed bewitched by Wen Tiren and issued an edict to let Wu Shigong enter Beijing to face the saint. But for Emperor Chongzhen, who had a lot of opportunities, this was a trivial matter, and after that, he immediately forgot about it.
We can imagine what Emperor Chongzhen would do with Wu Shigong if he entered Beijing? The biggest possibility is to delay and disappear, so that Wu Shigong will stay in the capital for a long time, and only when the situation changes, will he think of this general by accident. Of course, it is also possible that Emperor Chongzhen immediately summoned and transferred Wu Shigong's Runing army to Shaanxi or Liaodong to fight directly against the peasant army or the Qing army.
But no matter which choice it is, Wu Shigong will definitely not worry about his life. In the end, Wu Shigong did not commit any heinous crimes, and the Xungui group is not vegetarian, so most of the results of Zuihou are compromises.
In fact, Wen Tiren is the same, he doesn't care about Wu Shigong's life and death at all. For him, how to prove that Wu Shigong is a military attache of the Donglin Party? That's what he cares about most.
As for Qi Zheng's revenge? That mainly depends on the energy of Qi Zheng, Wen Tiren doesn't mind helping a little in this matter, but let Wen Tiren go into battle shirtless regardless of everything? That would also underestimate the political wisdom of this politician.
Therefore, Wen Tiren used the word "get", not "grasp", let alone "kill". It is to let Xu Mengqi get Wu Shigong to the capital as soon as possible, whether they are coerced or coaxed.
And before leaving Beijing, Wen Tiren found Xu Mengqi and Jinyiwei to make Luo Yang sexual intercourse. Of course, Wen Tiren also misinterpreted Emperor Chongzhen's intentions. That's why Luo Yangxing sent Hu Kan and nearly 100 brocade guards.
That's fine, but there are also problems with Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan's understanding. As an old bird who has been infiltrated in the political arena for many years, Wen Tiren's words are, of course, half a sentence, and he will not say anything to death. Therefore, the meaning of his words must be understood by the listener. And Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan came to a painful realization.
Xu Mengqi is completely a newcomer to officialdom, but Hu Kan only understood this secret mission through Luo Yangxing, and Luo Yangxing is of course also a person who speaks half a sentence, so what Hu Kan listened to was even more discounted. So the understanding of the two of them is: "You can do whatever it takes to get Wu Shigong back to the capital!" ”
To add insult to injury, when Wen Tiren sent an urgent letter, Xu Mengqi thought that this order would be escalated again. Now it is: "Get Wu Shigong back to the capital at all costs." Seeing this, you can understand how big the deviation between Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan thinks that their secret mission and Emperor Chongzhen's original intention is.
However, it can also be seen that Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan are completely incompatible with government affairs. Needless to say, Xu Meng entered the Hanlin Academy after he became a jinshi, and Hu Kan's vision was to know the factions and battles of some officials. Both of them are people who don't know what the means of governing the country are.
You know, if you want to arrest a leading general like Wu Shigong. That would definitely prevent the Runing Army from counterattacking. Therefore, the imperial court will definitely arrange for the officers and soldiers around the Runing Army to make corresponding preventive actions. However, Emperor Chongzhen and Wen Tiren did not do that, which proves that they did not think of using violent means to deal with Wu Shigong. It's a pity. Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan didn't understand this.
But it's the other way around. It was precisely because the imperial court did not take any action at all that Ru Ningjun was unaware, and it even made Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan's behavior catch Wu Shigong and Ru Ningjun off guard.
So the next discussion between Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan was really ...... That's it.
Xu Mengqi asked: "Wu Runing has been sick, do you see some clues?" ”
Hu Kan shook his head and replied, "No! Everything is normal in Runing, and the sons and daughters are also free to move. There are no outsiders watching and interrogating, Wu Runing should really be sick. I also heard that Wu Runing has been sick at home for most of the past year. ”
"What does Runing say? Is there a crime? Xu Mengqi asked again. Of course, he didn't dare to ask those local officials in Runing directly, so he arranged this matter to the Jinyi Wei system.
"The villain is afraid of people's hearts. So I didn't dare to ask. However, Wu Runing is indeed rampant here, there is no doubt about the robbery of the princess, and the princess often shows up to play in the city, and even the villain's subordinates have seen it several times. Also, I heard that Wu Runing has a deep collusion with King Chong. Hu Kan replied.
In the city of Runing Mansion, there was also a small group of personnel from the Henan Jinyi Wei Thousand Households, but their main task was to monitor King Chong's every move. And this time, Hu Kan also secretly inquired about their situation with Wu Shigong and Runing Army.
But it's also the norm. The Jinyi Guards who left Beijing went to the local area and asked the local Jinyi Guards about the situation of the feudal kings and officials. But Hu Kan's caution is also very reasonable. Most of the Jinyi guards sent to Runing Mansion were bought by the Runing Army because of the relationship between Wu Shigong and Li Pengfei, so once Hu Kan showed his feet, he would definitely pass on this secret mission to Wu Shigong's ears. Therefore, Hu Kan mainly arranged for his subordinates to collect Wu Shigong's crimes on the streets of Fucheng.
"Is there any evidence?" As soon as Xu Mengqi heard Hu Kan's words, his eyes immediately lit up. That's a great article! The Donglin Party has formed a party with humanity and martial arts, and now even the vassal kings have colluded, so isn't it self-defeating?
"What evidence is needed? It was spread all over the streets of Runing, and they all said that King Chong had made a lot of money from Wu Runing. Hu Kan replied.
Seeing the prosperity of the stock exchange and futures exchange, even Chongwang couldn't help but join this capital game. Therefore, in everyone's heart, there is a tendency to speculate.
It is also for publicity, the stock exchange and the futures exchange opened the door for Chongwang and hyped it, so the streets and alleys of Fucheng were spread all over: "Chongwang is doing business on the stock exchange and futures exchange, and he has made a lot of money, so let's go quickly!" Rumors like that.
In fact, this is just the normal commercial promotion of the stock exchange and the futures exchange, but at this time, Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan gave this matter a very strong political color.
"I didn't expect Wu Runing to be so bold." Xu Meng said angrily, but the joy on his face couldn't be hidden, "Then Hu Qianhu and this official combined, how to lock up Wu Runing?" ”
"Your Excellency!" In front of Xu Mengqi, Hu Kan still maintained respect, he bowed down and said, "These days, the villain has also thought twice, and found that if you want to lock up Wu Runing, there are no more than three ways. (To be continued......)
