In the fifteenth year of Chengde, in early March.

Since the great drought in Shaanxi last year, the White Lotus Sect began to make trouble everywhere, and at the end of the year, there was a rebellion of silver miners in Wenzhou Prefecture, followed by Nurhachi, the leader of the Jurchens in Jianzhou, who established himself as Khan.

For a time, smoke erupted inside and outside the Great Cadres.

It was only after the Qingming Festival that the ancestors were worshipped.

In Shenjing City, there were rumors suddenly, saying that the natural disasters and military disasters in the past ten years were all because Liu Zhangde was unworthy, and the heavens sent down disasters.

The rumors are very straightforward, but the floods of these years have made many people believe.

Taking advantage of the internal and external troubles, it is very noisy.

Daming Palace.

Emperor Taishang and Emperor Chengde, father and son, sat opposite each other on the dragon collapse, with a small kang table in the middle, and the chess game was in the final stage, and both father and son looked serious.

Suddenly.

Emperor Taishang smiled and said, "I heard that Jia Cong has donated grain that can produce more than ten stones per mu, how does the emperor plan to reward him?"

"The sons are also in trouble."

Emperor Chengde rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, "That potato and grain seed is enough for me to make a big decision, even if it is not too much for a prince of the country."

But Na Jia Cong is still young, if he is really given a national prince, I am afraid that in the future, he will only be confined to the acre of three points of land in Shenjing, and the son is unwilling......."

Next to him, the Emperor Taishang couldn't help but speak: "It's true, since ancient times, few people who have high merits and are difficult to seal, but they are not rewarded for meritorious service, and it makes the courtiers feel cold......

Let out a long sigh.

He said, "It's hard, it's hard, it's hard!"

After a while.

Emperor Taishang asked again: "First the White Lotus Sect in Shaanxi made trouble, and then the miners in Wenzhou rebelled, and now even Jiannu has been careful, and the rumors outside the emperor have heard it, right?" What do you think?"

"It's just ringworm."

Gently dropping a son, Emperor Chengde's expression remained unchanged, "Some people have been buried in the shadows for a long time, and it is normal to be unwilling to be lonely, but he is trying in vain to shake my great Qianguo foundation, and I will not spare him!"

「……」

The Emperor sighed.

There was silence.

A few more chess pieces were settled, and Emperor Chengde looked at the chessboard with clear wins and losses, and said with a smile: "Father is absent-minded today, but he asked his sons to take the opportunity to win."

"I'm old, and my mental strength and spirit can't compare with you."

The Emperor Taishang smiled and put away the chess pieces one by one, "But in the final analysis, it is still the emperor whose chess skills are good, and they are no longer inferior to me, a dying old man......

The latter does not speak.

After sitting with Emperor Taishang for a while, Emperor Chengde got up and retired, "Father Qi, the son's remarks today have not been approved, so he will retire first!"

The Emperor waved his hand, "Go and go."

"Son's resignation!"

When Emperor Chengde was about to walk out of the main hall, the Emperor Taishang couldn't help but stop him, and hesitated slightly, "If there is such a day, let him live."

In his words, there was a faint hint of request.

Emperor Chengde's feet were stunned.

Immediately stepped out of the threshold of Daming Palace without stopping, "If he is willing to know each other, I think he can live to the end of his life......

The firm voice was brought by the spring breeze, and the heart of the Emperor Taishang was put down. ….

…………

At the same time.

On the surface of the canal outside Shenjing City.

Six huge official ships were puffing out their sails and quickly sailing towards the Caoyun Wharf in Shenjing.

"The spring breeze is warm, and the flowers are in full bloom."

Jia Cong stood at the bow of the boat and said with a smile: "It is said that fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March, but now we are good, and it is the other way around!"

Next to him, Lin Ruhai looked at Shenjing City in the distance, and said with emotion: "Back then, His Majesty appointed me as the imperial envoy of the two Huai Patrol Salt, and it has been seven or eight years since then."

"When my father goes to see Your Majesty, I ask him not to let you out again."

Lin Daiyu's face was full of worry, "Your body is not good, and you were poisoned by them again this time, if you continue to delegate to your post, how can you endure it?"

"What is the matter of eating the king and being loyal to the king, what is this for the Father to do the Lord?"

Lin Ruhai smiled helplessly.

Lin Daiyu's expression suddenly fell.

Seeing this, Jia Cong couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister don't be scared, my uncle has been out for several years and has made great contributions to His Majesty, and now is the time to be vigorously promoted, how can I be willing to let him out?"

[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books at present, change the source, .huanyuan. 】

Hearing Jia Cong's words, Lin Daiyu also reacted.

A pair of eyes widened immediately......

……

It's getting dark.

Six official ships finally docked.

First, more than 1,000 soldiers of the Beijing battalion left the ship and landed on the dock, leaving an open space at the wharf, and then Jia Cong, Lin Daiyu, and Lin Ruhai went ashore under the escort of all the soldiers.

As for the jewels and silver taels that he brought with him, he was placed at the end.

After being informed in advance, Xue Baochai and Jia Mu sent stewards and servants to meet them at the dock early, so Jia Cong and the others got off the boat, and several carriages stopped in front of them.

Look at the green curtain oil truck with the logo of Zhongyong Bofu.

Lin Daiyu smiled, "It seems that Sister Bao has also come to greet us."

The voice fell.

Sure enough, Xue Baochai got out of the car with the big girl Ying'er, and came straight to a few people, first saluted Jia Congyingying, and said with a smile: "Welcome back to Beijing!"

Later, he gave Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu a gift.

Everyone finished saluting.

Lin Daiyu came to Xue Baochai and said with a smile: "When I saw Shenjing City, I already expected in my heart that Sister Bao would personally come to greet us when I got off the boat, I really guessed!"

"Oops."

Xue Baochai quipped, "If I knew you guessed so, I wouldn't have come."

As they spoke, both women laughed.

Lin Ruhai saw it not far away, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly in his heart.

My own Chinese cabbage, I'm afraid it's going to fly!

At this time, Lai Da, the chief housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion, who was sent by Jia's mother to pick everyone back to Beijing, came forward and bowed to Jia Cong, Lin Ruhai, and Lin Daiyu.

Then he said with a smile on his face: "Knowing that my aunt, the third master and Miss Lin are back in Beijing today, the old lady specially prepared a banquet to catch the wind and asked the villain to invite her."

Lin Ruhai nodded.

He replied, "Since the old lady commanded it, we must not delay, so let's go now."

So everyone hurriedly got into the car, and in a "squeak, squeak" sound, they went straight to Rongguo's mansion.

…………

Meanwhile. ….

Wenzhou Mansion thousands of miles away.

The shouting of killing is boiling to the sky.

Countless miners dressed in tattered linen clothes, holding the rudimentary "weapons" in their hands, rushed straight to the tall and thick city wall without fear of death.

In this group of miners, there were several teams of well-armored and well-armed thieves, and at this time, under their helmets, there was a faint white cloth wrapping their heads.

It was the White Lotus cultist who was among them.

on the city walls.

Liu Caigao, the prefect of Wenzhou, looked at the black and oppressive "miner anti-thief" under the city wall, and his face was full of hatred, which made his little heart instantly cold.

"These damn mud legs."

Liu Caigao scolded disdainfully: "With those mine pickaxes and axes, they want to attack the Wenzhou Mansion City, how dare they? It's really an old birthday boy who hanged himself and thought it was a long time!"

It's just that Wenzhou guards She Genlin, but it is not as optimistic as Liu Caigao.

Looking at the rapidly consuming rolling stone and sassard on the city wall, She Genlin's face was extremely serious.

Gradually.

Liu Caigao noticed that She Genlin's expression beside him was wrong, and looked at that extremely serious expression, and couldn't help but feel the same in his heart

Suddenly, there will be no accident in this Wenzhou mansion, right?

Hurriedly asked She Genlin, "Lord She, this is the city of Wenzhou, the walls are high and the city is strong, and the three thousand soldiers under your command are all elite, shouldn't there be a problem?"

His tone was already a little trembling.

Besides, She Genlin completely agrees with the so-called high wall city of Wenzhou Mansion or something.

But when Liu Caigao talked about his "three thousand soldiers", the corners of She Genlin's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart.

Three thousand soldiers?

All of them are elite......

Since the military expenses of the government soldiers were intercepted a few years ago, the Wenzhou government soldiers have gradually become a nursing home for the old, weak, sick and disabled.

You, Liu Caigao, are afraid that you are not dreaming!

Secretly sighed.

She Genlin pointed to the consumables not far away.

Chao Liu Caigao said: "If the prefect is free, it is better to bring someone to raise some rolling stones and mustaches as soon as possible, once the supply of these things is cut off, we are afraid that we will not be able to stop the thieves below."

"What?"

Liu Caigao was taken aback, and hurriedly responded: "Lord She only needs to worry about the enemy, and the matter of rolling stones and sasswood, this official will find a way!"

As he spoke, he hurried down the city wall.

It's just that he didn't go to raise rolling stone sasswood, but after getting on the sedan chair, he went straight to his mansion.

Waited until they entered their own mansion.

Liu Caigao hurriedly ordered someone to call the butler and ordered, "Later, the official will lead people to resist the siege of the thieves, you hurry up and collect some gold and silver, and take the two sons out to hide......

The butler asked, "What about the lady, the two young ladies, and the aunts?"

"They'll just wait."

Liu Caigao closed his eyes, "The number of our family is there, in case the Wenzhou Mansion City is broken and the rebels come over, if there are too few people, wouldn't they force them to search the city and arrest the two sons?"

This is to exchange the death of the family rolls for the lives of the two sons!

……

In the winter of the fourteenth year of Chengde, the miners of Wenzhou Mansion rebelled and seized 400,000 taels of official silver; And on March 11 of the following year, he broke through the city of Wenzhou. ….

The soldiers of Wenzhou Mansion were killed, and the garrison She Genlin died.

Liu Caigao, the prefect of Wenzhou, and his family fled in panic under the escort of all the families.

The people of Fucheng have suffered countless casualties!

As soon as this incident came out, it caused an uproar in the court.

…………

April New Year.

Early in the morning, before dawn, the civil and military officials above the fifth rank in Shenjing City had already gathered in front of the gate of the palace, waiting for the moment when the sun rose in the east.

Today is the New Year's Day of the Great Qian.

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, the gate of the palace was opened from the inside by a group of small yellow doors.

Immediately after, the continuous sound of drums knocked the silence of the palace.

"Winter! Winter! Winter!"

With the sound of light and heavy drums, the ministers quickly found their positions and stood still, and then the melodious bell rang out, and the drumming stopped abruptly.

In front of the palace gate, two neatly arranged lines also appeared.

Later, the drums beat again, and the two teams marched forward, with the Chinese officer walking on the west side and the military attache walking on the east side, and the two classes marched in unison, entering from the east and west gates of the palace.

Three-way drum break.

The civil and military officials are all in place in the Fengtian Palace.

After entering the main hall.

Many civil and military ministers found that today was very different from usual, and the Emperor Taishang, who had not appeared in the court for a long time, sat on the dragon chair with Emperor Chengde for the first time.

Everyone was surprised for a while, and then they couldn't help but "chuckle" in their hearts.

Not quite right!

Thinking of what happened in Wenzhou Mansion again, the officials who were keenly aware of the somewhat unpleasant atmosphere.

Therefore.

After Baiguanshan shouted "Long live", in Qiu Shi'an's "Something to Do",

The entire Fengtian Temple actually fell into an eerie silence.

A few officials who vaguely got the news of the scaly claws also lowered their heads at the moment, staring at their toes without saying a word, for fear of getting into trouble.

In this silence, a "warrior" stood up in the ranks of civil officials......

I saw Lin Ruhai striding out of the queue with his head held high, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Lin Ruhai has something to do!"

"Quasi-play!"

On the high platform, Emperor Chengde's voice was as calm as a straight line.

Without the slightest emotion.

"Your Majesty, since Chengde for eight years, the minister has been ordered to inspect the two Huai salt administrations, and it has been seven years so far."

Lin Ruhai's words echoed in the Fengtian Palace, "Since the minister took office, he has conscientiously inspected the two Huai Salt Administrations, so he has provoked someone to murder him, and the minister has drawn up a rough list, hoping that His Majesty will investigate it thoroughly!"

As he spoke, Lin Ruhai took out a book from his sleeve and presented it.

Many people in the temple were heartbroken.

After taking the fold, Emperor Chengde flipped through it, and in the long fold, the records of each item and paragraph were like invisible arrows, poking at the hearts of many ministers present.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

Long.

Emperor Chengde frowned tightly, and threw the fold on the royal eucalyptus, "Where is Xingke!"

Below, the Jinyi guard commanded Xing Ke to hurriedly come out of the ranks, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is here!"

"Take the fold back."

Pointing at the fold on the imperial eucalyptus with his index finger, Emperor Chengde said coldly: "According to the list on the fold, arrest all the people and give them a good review to me!"

"Is this going to arrest someone?"

A few ministers who were a little weak in their hearts swallowed hard, "Shouldn't we send the Jinyi Mansion to investigate and collect evidence first?" Why didn't you follow the routine today?"

One of them couldn't help but stand up and said, "Your Majesty, how can you easily ...... just one person's words?"

"Easy what?"

Emperor Chengde glanced at it, "What Lin Aiqing investigated is all true, but if there are intercessors, they will be judged as guilty of the same crime!"

"Obey."

Xing Ke shouted his order.

"Deliberately murdering the officials of the imperial court and meddling in the matter of salt and iron, it should be dealt with severely, and the Jinyi Mansion can let go of the punishment!"

On the high platform, another voice came down.

This is the voice of the Emperor!

"Hiss......"

The old and new emperors are joining forces? This script is not right!

Throughout the entire Fengtian Palace, most of the civil officials and military generals are watching a good show, but a few civil officials with ghosts in their hearts are like swallowing Coptis chinensis, and they are speechless bitterly.

It's not just a void now.

The biting coldness hit their backs.

At this time, they already hated the Confucian scholar who lobbied them, saying that the Emperor Taishang had always supported that person, isn't this nonsense!

What a miserable killing......

96.

Qingfeng is not dry
