Zheng Lun was almost crazy.

His family fell into the hands of Jinyiwei, and it is completely conceivable that there is more luck than luck.

He knows better than anyone...... Even if their families are still alive, these people are afraid that they will no longer be human.

Jinyiwei's means are very clear to everyone.

Zhang Anshi stood silently aside, looking innocent.

But is he innocent?

No, he orchestrated it all.

The shrewdness of the people hiding behind Chen Wenjun's curtain, and the fact that they can hide so deep shows their caution.

Such a cautious person will only show his feet because Zhang Anshi captured Zheng Lun?

This is obviously impossible.

People are not stupid, how can they not see that this may be a good drama performed by others?

So...... If you really want to catch a big fish, you have to make this play realistic enough, so realistic that even the other party has to believe it.

So...... Jin Yiwei took advantage of the situation to arrest Zheng Lun's family members, and then tortured him, and the edict was ...... After all, there are many people, and with so many captains up and down, it is impossible to be completely airtight.

And Zheng Lun is a few people...... Even more than half of the family members are dead, could this also be acting?

In this plan, every character is indispensable.

Ji Gang, who was anxious to get back a city, would not have been in a hurry if it had been in the past, but now it was different, he was in a hurry and had to take risks.

He was like the man who fell into the water, eager to grab a life-saving straw, so Zhang Anshi predicted from the beginning that he would definitely do everything possible to catch people directly.

As for Zheng Lun...... In fact, it was destined to be sacrificed from the beginning.

Of course, there is still something special about choosing Deng Lun.

So before that, Zhang Anshi asked Zhu Jin to inquire about which ministers in the court had done unforgivable things in private.

In the end, after screening, Zheng Lun made several lists, and the reason for their inclusion on the list was very simple...... There are other people's blood debts on their hands.

Of course...... After everything is planned properly, the next thing has nothing to do with Zhang Anshi.

This is what Ji Gang did, what does it have to do with him Zhang Anshi?

At this time, Ji Gang only felt that his head was buzzing, and he was completely stunned.

After so many years of interests, and then after encountering setbacks, he was eager to make meritorious contributions, where did he think that the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were actually pitted to death.

At this time, he had no choice but to prostrate and confess his sin.

Zhu Di looked at all this coldly, and his heart was actually very surprised.

Who would have thought...... Ultimately...... And so it was.

Zhu Di pursed his lips, and then said: "Zheng Lun's family has worked hard, and their loyalty can indeed be seen every day. ”

What else can I do at this point? It can only be dealt with when Zheng Lun cuts meat and feeds the tiger.

Even Yao Guangxiao couldn't help but whisper a Buddha call in the class: "Amitabha, I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell is good, good." ”

He confiscated a penny, and he overtook the families of Zheng Lun and several people.

Zhu Di said again: "Zheng Qing's family has been waiting for a few days, come here, please go down and rest." ”

Zheng Lun was still scolding resentfully: "Ji Gang, I don't share the sky with you, I don't share the sky......"

Several eunuchs had rushed in and dragged them out.

It's just that the scolding is still endless.

Zhu Di didn't glance at Ji Gang who was kneeling on the ground at all, even if his eyes flashed slightly, there was only a surprising indifference in his eyes.

After Deng Lun and the others went out, Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "You came to the court and let me be judged by the emperor, just because...... I want me to know that this Zheng Lun is not against the party at all? ”

"Of course not." Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "The minister invited His Majesty to the imperial trial, because ...... The minister expected that the person behind Chen Wenjun was above this court. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, it was like dropping a bomb, and the color of the hundred officials changed suddenly.

Zhu Di frowned, his gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the hundred officials, and then stared at Zhang Anshi and said, "You go on." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Judging from Chen Wenjun's side, even the head of the military department is just their pawn, which proves that there is at least one big man behind this." Moreover, this person ...... It seems that he knows the situation in the court very well, so the minister boldly predicted that this person would be in the court, which should not be too much. ”

"Since it has been determined that this person is in the court, with Chen Wenjun as a pawn, and after Chen Wenjun was caught, judging from many signs, this person did not act rashly. This proves that this should be a person who can grasp some of the movements of His Majesty and Jinyiwei, if you look at it this way, the minister dares to predict that this person is in a high position and is quite trusted by His Majesty. ”

As soon as these words came out, more people's faces became a little uncomfortable.

Everyone looked at each other, and they all seemed to be jealous, and the ghost knew if there was any opposition to the party around him!

Zhu Di's eyes became even more meaningful, he was surprisingly calm at this time, and only said: "Then what?" ”

"The minister's performance of this play is actually to paralyze the other party, precisely because the other party knows His Majesty and Jinyiwei very well, the more Jinyiwei leads and does not send it, and he will not act rashly for convenience, but if he ...... When the other party knows...... Jinyi Wei and the ministers want to check in the wrong direction? ”

Zhu Di seemed to begin to understand something, and said: "If the other party notices that Qing and Jinyiwei are wrong, they will definitely think that this is a godsend, a good opportunity for him to cover up all the evidence." ”

Zhang Anshi nodded and said: "Yes, so the minister took Zheng Lun and the others, in fact, he just wanted to tell the other party that although Chen Wenjun was controlled by us, this Chen Wenjun was stubborn, not only did not confess any behind-the-scenes instructions, but frantically bit innocent people." After the other party noticed this situation, of course they would think that Chen Wenjun was creating opportunities for them. ”

"Such a godsend, if they don't do anything else, it will be really stupid. Because they know that Chen Wenjun is still in our hands after all, and chess pieces like Chen Wenjun may not know much, but as long as we surround Chen Wenjun, as long as there is enough time, we will definitely be able to find out something. ”

Zhu Di nodded, this is the psychology of all people who are thieves, Chen Wenjun may not know much, and this person is very stubborn, but after all, the people behind the scenes have used him for so long, and there will definitely be many clues in the process of manipulating him, which will inevitably make the people behind the scenes feel uneasy.

And once Jin Yiwei and Zhang Anshi start to 'make mistakes', it is indeed the best time for them to hurry up and get rid of the golden cicada.

Zhang Anshi continued: "So after the minister took Zheng Lun and the others, he has been asking Jinyiwei and the boatmen of the money village and the shipping company to pay attention to some unusual things in the capital, you know, many things ...... Once someone starts paying attention, then ...... If people don't know, unless they don't do it, unfortunately, the minister really found some. ”

Zhang Anshi said this, grinning.

Zhu Di squinted his eyes and scrutinized Zhang Anshi: "What did you find?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The market has fluctuated......

"Marketplace?" Zhu Di was a little surprised.

He also thought that Zhang Anshi ...... I really noticed something, but ...... What does this contrarian party have to do with the market?

The hundred officials were also confused, so they looked at Zhang Anshi puzzled one by one, as if waiting for his answer.

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "In Zhenjiang...... Someone came to report it, saying that it was from Zhenjiang...... Gold prices suddenly rose sharply. ”

Zhu Di continued to stare at Zhang Anshi, still frowning, he still couldn't understand.

Zhang Anshi patiently explained: "Your Majesty, the only reason why the price of gold suddenly began to rise sharply in one place is that some people sell a large amount of silver or copper coins in their hands to exchange for gold. ”

"Often at this time, after a large amount of silver and coins are exchanged for gold, the gold in the market begins to be in short supply, and at this time, the price of gold will start to fluctuate. For example, many merchants in Nanjing City will try their best to exchange a lot of gold from the capital to Zhenjiang to earn the price difference. ”

But the question is, why would anyone ...... Suddenly buying gold in large quantities? You know, this kind of acquisition will inevitably bring about the price of gold constantly fluctuating, but everyone knows ......"

In fact, these officials are still confused, and everyone doesn't know.

Zhang Anshi said: "Such a large number of acquisitions of gold, in fact, is a loss, because large-scale acquisition, in fact, is the purchase of gold at a high price, although the gold is valuable, but it is difficult to trade in the market, even if the transaction, but it still needs to be exchanged for silver, the person who buys it...... Obviously a loss. ”

"Your Majesty, think about it, what is the reason why some people suddenly go crazy and would rather suffer losses and buy gold? Let's guess a thing or two. ”

He paused and continued: "After the incident, some people have already noticed that it is not safe, and after Chen Wenjun was arrested, they were a little apprehensive, but at this time, ...... They know better than anyone that they can't act rashly, and if they do, something may happen. ”

"Until Zheng Lun was arrested, it made them realize that this was the best time, and it was time to retreat bravely, especially the money used to rebel over the years, and they had to find a way to move it. But after all, this wealth is too great, and how many people are needed to carry so much silver and copper coins? Since the movement is large, the more manpower is needed, and the more manpower there is, the more people may be mixed up, and the less safe it is. ”

Think about it, one pound of this Ming Dynasty is sixteen taels, and one hundred taels of silver is seven or eight catties, but if it is one thousand taels of silver, it is almost the weight of a person.

If it is a rebellion, the amount of silver required must be heavenly, 100,000, 1 million taels of silver are possible, if it is 1 million taels of silver, it means a full weight of 70,000 or 80,000 catties, for this era, this is almost equivalent to emptying a mountain.

"The only effect of gold on these people is that it is much more expensive than silver, and it is more portable than silver, even if it is to be exchanged for silver in the future. So...... The reason why they chose to exchange gold in Zhenjiang was because they were in the capital, and Zhenjiang was close to the capital, which was convenient for them to control. In addition, there is also the fact that this Zhenjiang is a thoroughfare, the water network is developed, and the silver money is exchanged for gold, which can be transported away at any time. ”

"Besides, for them, these things will certainly not be noticed, but they are just ordinary purchases of gold, but these people ...... Although they are all extremely smart, they are too rough about the changes in the market. ”

"After the minister learned of what happened in Zhenjiang, he immediately ordered people to go to Zhenjiang to search for people who bought gold, as long as they found these people who bought gold, then ...... The truth is not far off. ”

Zhu Di listened carefully, and with a look of sudden enlightenment, he said, "I see...... These people who bought gold...... Could it be like Chen Wenjun, who doesn't know anything about it, but is just a pawn that is being used? ”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it's impossible, these people are too cautious, it is precisely because they are too cautious that this involves a lot of gold and silver, but it is impossible to fake it, only the most confidant or close relatives will deal with it, they will feel at ease." Moreover, they don't think it's dangerous, they just think it's like a deal. ”

Zhu Di's eyes lit up.

I didn't expect ...... Crack the anti-party ...... behind this scene It's only because of the gold......

Over the years, Jin Yiwei has used detectives and torture to arrest the so-called rebels, and the personnel have been constantly expanding, but now that I think about it carefully, the effect is actually not ideal.

Ten people may have been arrested, and most of them were innocent.

This Anshi method is very fresh, and such overlooked details really make it hard to imagine what it has to do with the anti-party.

The ministers didn't seem to notice that among the courtiers in the two classes, an old man wearing a red Qilin robe, his body trembled slightly.

At this time, Zhu Di said: "The people from Zhenjiang ...... Did you hold it? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty...... has already taken it, just last night, the teaching of the model battalion, with a team of people and horses of the model army and the brocade guard Qianhu Chen Li, went to get people in person. ”

"Just in Zhenjiang's Xijin ferry has been captured, sent to the capital overnight, the minister asked His Majesty to summon the minister for the royal trial, in fact, he wants to bring the person behind the scenes into the palace, others in the palace, it is equivalent to being cut off from the news, what happened outside, he doesn't know anything."

Zhu Di glanced at the ministers and couldn't help but feel heroic: "It seems that ...... The traitors are among my servants. I just don't know what he will think when he listens to you. ”

Zhang Anshi was also happy: "Such a person will not change his dead nature, even if the sky falls, he should look like he has nothing to do with himself, and many people will not shed tears when they don't see the coffin." ”

Zhu Di bowed: "His cronies...... Is it being interrogated now? ”

"Actually......" Zhang Anshi said, "There is no need to interrogate at all." ”

"No interrogation?" Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi in surprise.

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, didn't the minister say it?" The person who buys the gold must be the confidant of the person behind the scenes, or a close relative, if it is a confidant, I am afraid that it will be tried in the first trial, but what if it is a close relative? ”

Zhu Di suddenly realized again, and then his eyes swept among the ministers like a blade, and he said, "This person ...... Which of the Qing family's relatives in the DPRK is it? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "To this day, do you still want to be lucky? Come out, your nephew Lu Ruyi has been taken, is it ...... Do you still want to pretend that you have nothing to do with yourself? ”

The ministers were in an uproar, you look at me, I look at you.

Zhu Di stared at everyone's reaction.

Zhu Gaochi was also very surprised when he heard that he really took the rebel party, and immediately, he couldn't help but be happy, he was obese, and this music was very much the charm of Maitreya Buddha.

Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, had been observing his imperial brother, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, with a meaningful smile.

Here, it is still a world where Ji Gang is injured, he still maintains a kneeling posture, not daring to move, hearing that Zhang Anshi has caught the rebel party, he only feels that the blood in his body is surging, and he almost spurts out a mouthful of old blood.

Who would have thought that his dignified commander of the brocade guard would become a stepping stone for others?

Xie Jin's face was extremely ugly, he wished that this rebel party would never be discovered, and once it was discovered, wouldn't it be fueling the power of the lords? Those who will win the world immediately will not participate in ruling the world immediately in the future?

This is not a blessing for the country, let alone a blessing for the community.

In the midst of this chaos.

Finally, someone let out a long sigh, which seemed a little out of place at this point.

Then I saw the old man in the unicorn robe, and slowly stood up.

His face was quite calm, just sighing, but he couldn't help but have a little regret.

It's got to this point...... There is nothing to hide, and if you don't come out, you will only suffer a greater insult.

"What a clever boy, just because he exchanged gold, he can find out the old man! This is something that the old man can't imagine if he wants to break his head. The matter has come to this, and the old man has to admire. ”

Everyone looked at the old man in unison, and almost all of them showed a look of shock.

Even Zhu Di was shocked.

It's obvious...... He couldn't imagine that the so-called anti-party was actually this person.

Zhu Di's eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's you?" ”

"It's the old man......" The old man sighed again, and said with a look of regret: "It's a pity, it's not even as good as a doll." But now, there is nothing to say, so I have to tie my hands and arrest it. ”

Zhu Di was obviously angry, and said angrily: "I treat you well, why do you want to rebel?" ”

The old man raised his head, glanced at Zhu Di with a strange look, and then said, "Didn't Your Majesty also rebel?" Your Majesty is the opposite? Why can't others? Your Majesty can be the Son of Heaven...... Come to think of it, others can also be the son of heaven. ”

Zhu Di's face became even more ugly, and his anger was obviously even stronger.

There was a sudden silence in the hall, and everyone trembled.

Zhu Di sneered: "I am difficult! ”

The old man showed a smile, this smile was a little mocking, and said: "Your Majesty is the emperor, of course you can say whatever you want, rebellion or appeasement, but it comes down to success or failure." ”

Zhu Di shouted: "Lu Zhen, you ......"

The old man is none other than Lu Zhen.

The Book of Rites.

Although he is not a very human minister, he definitely belongs to the person who can grasp the secret and the center.

And most importantly...... Zhu Di trusts him very much.

The reason why he trusts him, on the one hand, is that Lu Zhen was one of the first ministers to take refuge in Zhu Di when he was martyred.

On the other hand, this person has always welcomed Zhu Di, and he can be described as obedient to Zhu Di, which makes Zhu Di have a lot of good feelings towards him.

But Lu Zhen was surprisingly calm at this time, although there was still a bitter look on his face after all, he did not lose his temper after all.

Zhu Di said: "You are already a very popular minister, why do you want to take such a risk?" ”

Lu Zhen looked at Zhu Di with blazing eyes and said: "I have today, not because of Your Majesty, but because of my own calculations......"

After a pause, Lu Zhen continued: "During the Hongwu period, I was just a lifter, I was awarded an official position, and I was ordered to inspect the situation of the local fields, I did a good job, and I was also praised, but ...... After all, because I was born as a person, I ...... He was only given the Shandong Provincial Prosecutor's Appointment, and after many years, he was reluctantly promoted to the Beiping Provincial Judge. ”

He spoke eloquently, showing regret between his words, and said: "When I inspected the fertile and barren fields in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I could be said to have exhausted my efforts, but even if I was appointed as a judge in Beiping, it took me three years. ”

"After that, Your Majesty wants to rebel, I am in Beiping, of course I want to follow the dragon, I am risking killing my head, follow Your Majesty, you are born and die, you let me stay in Beiping, I am still safe, but after that, what official position did you grant me? It's just a real prefect. My life is at stake, and at the risk of the Zhu clan, I will only get a prefect in the end. ”

Zhu Di's face was even more difficult to look at.

And Lu Zhen continued: "In my thoughts, I am afraid that my life is at the end, at that time you have arrived in Nanjing City, become the Son of Heaven, so not majestic, and I am in Zhending, a dignified hero, how sad." Can be calculated...... I was unwilling, but I still tried my best to move up and down, and finally reminded you of me. So he entered Beijing and served as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and then, in the end, because he flattered you everywhere, this was considered a complete merit and became a book of the Ministry of Rites. ”

"You said that because of you, I have today, but this is not right, I can have today because of myself." Lu Zhen said with a wry smile.

Zhu Di looked at him viciously and said, "Are you still not satisfied?" ”

Lu Zhen shook his head abruptly and said, "It's not that I'm not satisfied, it's just that I'm used to gambling." ”

"Got used to gambling?"

Lu Zhen said: "It was because of you that I went from a small incident to this point. But I know, here...... I have reached the end, if I want to go further, or even become a prime minister, a prince, but it is more difficult than ascending to the sky. Since you can rebel and let countless people and dogs ascend to heaven, then ...... Why can't others rebel and let me go further? ”

"So you're colluding with the Tartars?"

Lu Zhen did not deny it, nor did he admit it, but said: "The Tartars in your mouth are a little good, they are not like your Zhu family, they are born in cloth clothes, and they think that they have inherited the legal system, so they can be merciless to the minister." If the Tartars enter the customs, at least they know very well that they will not be able to rule these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and they will not be able to rule these thousands of people, so they ...... They know how to delegate power, in the Ming Dynasty, I can only be a minister, if in the Great Yuan, many Han ministers, on the surface are Tartar courtiers, but in fact, they can be one small emperor after another, may have the same official position, but in fact, ...... The authority in the hands is not the same. ”

Zhu Di smiled: "You are real." ”

Lu Zhen said: "Until now, I can only tell the truth. ”

Zhu Di said: "But the stupidest thing about you is that you think that with you, you can shake my country." ”

Lu Zhen said: "When Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wen of Sui were there, no one thought that the Great Qin and Sui Dynasty would die II, and how many years will there be in today's Ming Dynasty?" In this world, there are very few dynasties that can really last a hundred years, and the vast majority of the so-called countries in all dynasties and dynasties are only a few decades of life. ”

"At the beginning, your father and emperor have been in turmoil for decades, and they have already made the world complain. After he died, you rebelled again, and the world fell apart again, even if you ascended the throne today, it was actually only a few years, who knows, in a few years, what will happen? ”

Zhu Di: "......"

Zhang Anshi: "......"

Zhang Anshi listened to Lu Zhen's words, and seemed to wake up.

In fact, when he knew that it was Lu Zhen, Zhang Anshi's first reaction was that he felt that this person was really stupid, but he had a good life, but he wanted to be a demon, this was looking for death.

But now after listening to Lu Zhen's words, Zhang Anshi suddenly realized that this was just because he was a human being in two lives, so he had an inherent concept.

Of course, he knew that the Ming Dynasty had a 300-year history, but in fact, ...... In all dynasties, I don't know how many regimes have emerged, and the vast majority of them did die in the second and third dynasties.

In his opinion, rebellion in this era is looking for death.

But for many people in this world, they may feel that this is the time to ...... It is precisely the best time to rebel.

Zhu Di still stared at him tightly, and said coldly: "When did you start colluding with the Tartars?" ”

"When I was in Beiping." Lu Zhen said very calmly: "In Beiping, I was in charge of the affairs of the mutual market as a judge. ”

Zhu Di said: "So far...... Which part of the Tartars do you connect with? ”

Lu Zhen said: "This is also useless, but you should know that your father and emperor were able to drive them out of the customs because they were corrupted by the gentle township of the Central Plains, but now, they are outside the customs again, and they have started to herd horses again. And then, what will you resist? ”

Zhu Di's face was tense, obviously angry to the extreme, but at this time, he was calm, and only said quietly: "Where is your comrade, where is your comrade?" ”

Lu Zhen raised his head and looked straight at Zhu Di, who seemed to be very fearless, and said: "There is no comrade, I will bear all the blame." ”

"Can you afford it?" Zhu Di's eyes were heavy, and he sneered: "It seems that Zhang Anshi is right, you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin." ”

Lu Zhen lowered his head at this time, but he was speechless.

Zhu Di still had flames in his eyes, looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "I want him to speak, is there a way?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Yes! ”

The answer was categorical.
