Chapter 1031: Uprooted
In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, on the nineteenth day of the third month of the lunar calendar, Li Zicheng's thief army broke through the city of Beijing, the emperor hanged himself, and the Ming Dynasty perished.
Chang crossed over when it was just the New Year, this time was only three months away from the death of the Ming Dynasty, at this time the Ming Dynasty was already running out of oil and lamps, and the government and the opposition but Yu Fan knew that the old Zhu family was exhausted, so everyone had a small abacus.
The warlords resisted the order and disobeyed the order to support the troops and respect themselves, the courtiers ate and waited for death, and they were monks for a day and hit the clock for a day, just waiting for the Ming Dynasty to die and then serve the new master.
What matters most in troubled times, save your life!
To save your life, you need to have soldiers and guys.
There are no dozens or hundreds of families in Jingzhong Xungui, but are these people useful at critical moments, are they enough? If you are in trouble, you have to fight hard, and you have to use the guys.
Therefore, a professional security team is needed to prevent problems before they happen.
But training private soldiers and hiding armor is a major crime of rebellion, and you want to raid your family and destroy your ancestors!
Phew, the Zhu family's child is already too busy to take care of himself, so if he is careful, there should be no problem.
"So you mean, this is just a small abacus of some people in the capital, which was originally used to save your life, but it was used to get rid of you at this time in case of emergency?" Emperor Chongzhen's eyes narrowed into a slit, and his face was as gloomy as the sky outside.
"The minister just thinks that this may be greater than the Tang Palace's possibility, and now he just guesses that more evidence is needed to support it, but the minister believes that this is definitely not the only stronghold, even if it is the only one in the city, it does not mean that there is no outside the city, and there are many noble farms outside the city, all of which can be concealed." Chang Yu carefully analyzed: "And in terms of scale, it is definitely not the power of one person, maybe several families join forces."
"If it's really as you say, then it's even more interesting" Chongzhen sneered: "The tree falls and the monkey Sun is scattered, and the people go to the tea and cool, too many people waited to see the fall of the old Zhu family a few months ago, oh no, this is from two years ago." It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, this person hasn't left yet, the tea is cold" said and raised his hand and pointed at Chang Yu: "Fortunately, with you, the old Zhu family did not collapse, and the Ming Dynasty did not die, so they were disappointed, so the fire was sprinkled on you, they wanted you to die, and I was not happy."
The more he talked, the more angry he became, Emperor Chongzhen raised his foot and kicked over the chair next to him, and shouted: "They want to make me unhappy, I endured it in the past, and now I ...... Hey, they're not happy! Strictly investigate to the end, no matter who I find, I will never spare him."
"Minister, Commander!" Chang Yu kowtowed: "I'm afraid it's not so easy, the business has been extremely secretive for several years, and there are dead soldiers who are loyal, if you can't get the key people and evidence, it's difficult to start."
"Isn't it more difficult to investigate a case than if you are fighting?" Emperor Chongzhen didn't have a good airway.
Chang Yu was also honest and touched his nose: "It seems to be true."
"No matter how difficult it is, it is a matter of your life and death, and it is also related to the fortune of the Ming Dynasty, I can't tolerate such a force beside the couch, and I don't allow anyone to eat the king's Lu and still have ill intentions" Emperor Chongzhen snorted coldly, and suddenly stared at Chang Yu and said: "Do you think this matter really has nothing to do with Tang Wangfu?" “
Chang Yu was immediately shocked into a cold sweat, he had previously speculated on the case and ignored some hints from Emperor Chongzhen, and only woke up when he heard this, it seems that Emperor Chongzhen is still obsessed with Zhu Yujian's affairs back then, even if Zhu Yujian has been imprisoned, even if Tang Wang's Mansion has long been burned to ruins by the thief army.
If it was in the past, he had no time to do this when there were endless wars and chaos, but now that there is a little eunuch who is a pawn for him to fight in the south and the north, he will have the leisure to clean up these old rotten grains, after all, he has been suppressed for more than ten years, and his psychology is too depressed.
"There are no absolutes in the world, and the Tang Wangfu can't get rid of it, and the ministers will ask someone to investigate," Chang Yu hurriedly said.
"How to check? Tang Wang's Mansion is in ruins," Chongzhen stared at Chang Yu and said slowly.
"Looking for the old people of the Tang Palace, the thieves broke Nanyang and destroyed the Tang Palace, the abolished king Zhu Yujian survived because of the imprisonment of Fengyang, and his brother Zhu Yulu and other three people were in other places, and the ministers will send people to visit them one by one" Chang Yu bowed his head and said.
Emperor Chongzhen nodded: "Don't forget to go to Fengyang when you go south, eight years of guarding the spirit may make Zhu Yujian think of some clues."
"Minister, obey the order" Chang Yu sighed secretly, Emperor Chongzhen is going to clean up the Tang Palace.
There is a restaurant on the street outside the Dong'an Gate of the Imperial City, which is famous all over the world, because it is close to the Imperial City, it attracts the heroes and scholars from all over the world, and the business is hot all year round.
And today it seems to be even more popular, and Gong Yonggu, the captain of the horse, gathered here with three or five friends.
"Is this really the word made by the eunuch of the East Factory? Gong Juma, don't deceive us," shouted about fifty skinny a year, holding his goatee.
"This is done in front of the emperor in the early morning, how can it be fake" Gong Yonggu stretched out his thumb: "It is also a close relationship with him, and his people are very sincere and do not make fakes. ”
"If he did it, this son would really be the pride of the sky, and it would be embarrassing for us," another middle-aged scribe sighed and shook his head.
Gong Yonggu was also overjoyed when he heard it, and said: "Although this word is the best but not its pinnacle, when I went out of the palace, I heard a palace maid say that she met Chang Yu by chance, and heard it groan: Affectionate since ancient times, empty hatred, good dreams are the easiest to wake ......up, I am amazed!" ”
Yes! The originally noisy upstairs suddenly fell silent, and someone whispered: "Affection has been empty since ancient times...... Affectionate and hateful since ancient times, its son is unlimited, unlimited, have you ever felt a little familiar? ”
Everyone was puzzled, and the man said, "This hatred lasts forever......"
Upstairs was in an uproar, Bai Juyi's long-hated song, this son was able to echo the famous sentences of the Tang Dynasty sages in the air, but there was no sense of disobedience.
Affection has been empty since ancient times, and this hatred is endless...... When everyone marveled at the brilliance of this little eunuch, they couldn't help but wonder, where did he, a young eunuch, get such profound emotions, but if not, how could he make such heart-wrenching words?
At the same time, in the pavilion halfway up the Banzai Mountain in the imperial city, Princess Kunxing looked sad, and whispered the sentence in her mouth, since ancient times, she has been amorous and hateful, and it is easiest to wake up from good dreams...... Is he suggesting that I am having a relationship, or is he reminding me not to dream anymore, it is impossible for the two of them...... But he can blurt out such a popular poem, it's really a demon!
Whether it is Princess Kunxing on Long Live Mountain or Gong Yonggu on Sihai Tower, etc., they are all a sentence of affection since ancient times, upside down, but no one pays attention, and the figure of the little eunuch leaving in a hurry outside Dong'an Gate is slightly heavy.
Dongchang Yamen, Changyu sits in the lobby, and Chunxiang is on the side.
"Killed nineteen thieves, captured seven, and found no useful clues under strict interrogation" Jiang Quan's face was solemn: "And those thieves seem to be enchanted, as if they are evil and say all kinds of nonsense."
Forehead? Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "White Lotus Sect? “。
"The humble position is not confirmed, but they are all unruly, even if they are punished, they are still very arrogant, shouting what kind of murder and arson gold belt, and I have never regretted it when I enter this industry:".
Grass, Chang Yu couldn't help but scold, this is what the hell is being brainwashed, and then the trial may be that there is really a figure of the White Lotus Sect behind him."
"But these people seem to be in the devil, and all kinds of big punishments are not recruited, maybe it's really a little minion who doesn't know what the inside story is" Jiang Quan was a little embarrassed.
"The governor just doesn't believe it, only that flattery is the leader of the more than thirty people in this entire stronghold" Chang Yu sneered, and then said: "If the punishment doesn't work, you can change to a milder one."
"What does the factory mean......" Jiang Quan didn't quite understand.
"Mental and physical torture is sometimes far more likely to break down than physical pain, for example, not allowing people to sleep, when people are extremely sleepy, the psychological defense line is as thin as a cicada's wings can be broken with a flick, almost asking what to say, but it takes a little time."
Jiang Quan's head, Chang Yu also ordered him to catch thieves as an excuse, and led Fanzi Jinyiwei to search for those manors outside the city, as long as he found something suspicious, he directly blocked and took people, and he didn't dare to use anyone's territory!
He believes that the thieves are definitely not only this stronghold in the capital, whether it is the small abacus of the nobles or the ambush of a prince in the field, according to the convention, it is inseparable from the routine of combining inside and outside, so there must be a stronghold outside the city.
"It's a bit dirty, you have to do it yourself" Jiang Quan left with his front foot, and Chang Yu sighed to Chunxiang.
"Isn't it...... Who is it this time? Chunxiang probably knew what kind of dirty work it was, because only this kind of work would let Chang Yu or him do it himself.
"Tang Wangfu!" Chang Yu looked out the window and sighed lightly.
"Hasn't the Tang Wang's Mansion been destroyed a long time ago, and the dead have escaped to escape, and one has been locked up in Fengyang......" Chunxiang said and suddenly stopped, shook his head lightly and sighed: "As for this, do you want to do this?"
"For the emperor, of course, as for him, he has to be vigilant if he wants to retaliate, and he has to cut off all potential threats for his own vein, which is understandable" Chang Yu retracted his gaze and looked at Chunxiang: "But for me, it's okay, but it's not necessary."
"Big brother means ......" Chunxiang and Chang Yu are brothers and understand him best.
"I don't care about the others, the one in Fengyang can't die" Chang Yu admired Zhu Yujian very much, and once thought about whether he could give him a chance to join the army to display his talents and revitalize the Tang Palace, but this is impossible, in the specific historical environment of the current dynasty, it is impossible for a vassal king to touch the army.
At least not on the surface.
"What does the eldest brother mean is that he wants him to hide incognito and hide in the army?" Chunxiang was stunned: "But I have heard that he is very ambitious, and the eldest brother is not afraid of raising tigers, if he has military power in the future......"
"He can't afford to turn up the wind and waves under my hands!" Chang Yu was very confident: "If you go to Fengyang and tell him these words, you will either hide in the mountains and do nothing, or hide in the army to serve the Ming Dynasty and not be in vain for the descendants of the Zhu family, or you will die of generosity."
"Big brother is so confident that he can't turn over the wind and waves?" Chunxiang hesitated slightly, he felt that Chang Yu was too risky, once Zhu Yujian's identity was exposed, it would be the crime of bullying the king, and even condemned him to the big crime of colluding with foreign kings to plot rebellion, the consequences were unpredictable under the anger of Emperor Chongzhen, or Zhu Yujian was ambitious, and he would have other thoughts if he gained a firm foothold in the army.
"If he exposes his identity in the army, it will be a dead end, so he can only be an unknown ordinary person, an ordinary person with no background, no power, no power, no money and even no military talent, it is very difficult to stand up in the army, and it is even more difficult to pull the banner and respond to it." Chang Yu said softly, Zhu Yujian has lived too hard all his life, and because of his actions in Nanming, Chang Yu has compassion, and decided to open up to him, and by the way, fulfill his dream of joining the army.
"Actually, the emperor wanted to kill him from the very beginning, but he was afraid that he would be imprisoned in the ancestral tomb of Fengyang and wanted to figure it slowly, otherwise how could he be tortured for seven years before being poked out, it can only be said that Shi Yingzhao is not doing well, and Lu Zhenfei is just nosy, big brother, is this what you mean." Chunxiang seems to have figured out something.
Chang Yu smiled: "That may be Shi Yingzhao's opening of the net, but Lu Zhenfei has become a talisman."
Chunxiang was stunned: "If this is the case, the eldest brother still has to learn from the Shi Ying edict to open the net, the end is not good."
The corners of Chang Yu's mouth raised lightly: "Shi Yingzhao is just a jailer, but I am the commander of Dongchang, I can kill the people he can't kill, and I can protect the people he can't keep!" ”
