Text Chapter 872 Gone Fire
When a tragedy occurred at the entrance of the Kaifeng Mansion, Zhu Yuan was leading more than a dozen tent flowers to check the accounts of Kaifeng Mansion in the second hall. Although Zhu Yuan is a veteran of accounts, Wu Peichang is not a vegetarian, Wu Peichang was born in the Ministry of Finance, and when he took refuge in Zhu Hongsan, he assisted Ma Mingyuan in handling financial work, and he was naturally an expert in making fake accounts.
Zhu Yuan saw that the dozen or so tent flowers were working with their brows tightly locked and their heads bowed, it didn't look easy, Zhu Yuan stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" Any progress? ”
The head of the account Huazi was the official of the Beijing household department of the former Ming Dynasty, and he had been in charge of the accounts all his life, and when he was selected by the Metropolitan Procuratorate to check the accounts, he thought that with his own ability, he would definitely be able to find clues when he went to Henan. However, when I saw the accounts of Kaifeng Mansion, I found that the accounts of Kaifeng used Western-style bookkeeping, which was different from the Chinese-style bookkeeping methods such as Longmen account and three-legged account commonly used in the late Ming Dynasty.
When Zhu Hongsan was doing business with the Spanish and Dutch in Guangdong, he naturally learned their Western-style bookkeeping methods, and at the same time promoted this more advanced bookkeeping method within his own group. Of course, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Longmen account founded by Shanxi businessmen was also a double-entry accounting method, but the Longmen account was settled at the end of the month, which was very unsuitable for the fast-paced economic activities in Guangdong, so the Western-style accounting method of daily settlement was popular in Guangdong.
However, the new accounts are all working in the Ministry of Finance, Zhu Hongsan can't let these guys check Henan's accounts no matter what, Wu Peichang is from the Ministry of Finance, let the Ministry of Finance check his own accounts, do you still need to check? Therefore, Zhu Hongsan had no choice but to find out the account flowers of the former Ming and the Manchu household department and let them come to Henan.
When the old tent Huazi heard Zhu Yuan ask him, he hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Back to the prince, the accounts that are opened are all bookkeeping methods of Westerners, which are not the same as the Longmen accounts and heaven and earth accounts that we are familiar with!" ”
Zhu Yuan frowned when he heard him say this and asked, "How about that?" Can you see it? ”
"Please rest assured, although the Western accounting method is different from ours, the fundamental principle is still the same, as long as you give a few days to figure it out!" Although the gantry account is not as advanced as the Western-style accounting method, it is not different in principle, and follows the accounting rules of "there must be a coming, there must be a go, and the coming and going must be equal", so it is not difficult to understand.
Zhu Yuan was just about to encourage this group of tent flowers, when suddenly there was a firecracker-like sound from the front yard, Zhu Yuan followed the new army south, saw the training of the new army, and knew that this was the sound of a row of guns.
Zhu Yuan was taken aback when he heard this, could it be that Ding Changsheng shot in the front yard? Zhu Yuan scolded in his heart: Ding Changsheng, you are a waste, what can you do?
At this time, Zhu Yuan didn't care about these account checks, and hurriedly ran to the lobby of the front yard, and just turned the shadow wall, he saw dead people lying on the ground at the gate, and at the same time, the courtyard was filled with gunsmoke, which was the shot fired by the new army on those young students.
Zhu Yuan stepped forward and grabbed Ding Changsheng's collar and scolded: "Ding Changsheng, are you crazy? Who made you shoot? ”
This is Ding Changsheng also reacted, and stammered: "Lord Wang, the last general doesn't know, just now. I don't know whose gun went off first! ”
Ding Changsheng turned his head and scolded his subordinates: "Who is it? Was that bastard the gun that didn't give the order to shoot first? ”
One of the fifty soldiers raised his trembling hand and said, "Commander, it's me, but the villain didn't shoot, it was the musket that suddenly went off!" "The processing technology of the Ming Dynasty is not good, although Zhu Hongsan's new army has eliminated the more unsafe arquebus, using a relatively safe flintlock pistol, but because the quality of the spring bow is not good, so misfire occurs from time to time.
Ding Changsheng stepped forward and punched and kicked the soldier, and scolded: "What did Lao Tzu tell you, let you take good care of your guns, and now let Lao Tzu carry the black cauldron!" ”
Zhu Yuan saw Ding Changsheng beating the soldiers and shouted, "Stop fighting, go and see how those scholars are doing first!" "That's what's important, it's best if there are no dead people, and something big will happen to the dead people.
Ding Changsheng hurriedly stopped and led his hands down to the door, Zhu Yuan saw that his heart was completely cold, there were more than twenty people lying at the door, seven or eight of them were motionless, and the others were covering their wounds with their hands and wailing.
Ding Changsheng and the others were less than twenty meters away from the door, and this distance was that the Mongolian horn bow could shoot through it, not to mention the musket with kinetic energy far exceeding the bow and arrow. At this time, Zhu Yuan's teacher Yu Chenglong also heard the gunshots, rushed over from the backyard, and saw that the door was full of dead people, Yu Chenglong knew that the big thing was not good, and he and Zhu Yuan's mission was completely over.
Zhu Yuan was here to rescue the injured young students, and someone had already reported what happened at the gate of the Kaifeng Mansion to Wu Peichang, the governor of the Yamen.
As soon as Wu Peichang heard that the guards of the Qin Messenger had shot and killed several scholars, Wu Peichang was overjoyed in his heart, and said to Xue Tian: "Lord Xue, it's okay now, the Qin Mission's guards have killed people, and they are still scholars, the emperor must be furious, and the old man will see that the Qin Messenger of King Yan is also coming to an end." ”
Xue Tian was just organizing the students of Kaifeng Mansion School to make trouble, and he didn't expect to be killed, according to tradition, these students were all Xue Tian's students, and now there are casualties Xue Tian is very distressed.
"Lord Futai, now that things have happened, Xiaguan wants to go to Fuxue to see how those students are doing, after all, they are all Xiaguan's students!" Several of those students were young junjie, and Xue Tian also hoped that they would be able to win a Jinshi Guangda in his own court, so naturally he didn't want them to have an accident.
Wu Peichang nodded and asked Xue Tian to go out, and then Wu Peichang took out a pen and paper to add fuel and vinegar to what happened today and wrote it into a letter. The writing is very simple, put all the responsibility on Zhu Yuan's head, what killed Wu Chaocui without in-depth investigation, the students of the school went to the door to petition, Zhu Yuan indiscriminately let the soldiers shoot, etc., after writing it, Wu Peichang sealed the fold and sent it to Beijing with four hundred miles of expedited.
Qincha's own soldiers killed the students of Kaifeng Fuxue, and the news soon spread throughout Kaifeng City, and even Zhang Jiayu, who was imprisoned in the Kaifeng Mansion prison, listened to his family members who delivered food.
Zhang Jiayu smiled after hearing this, he already knew that Zhu Yuan, a young man, wanted to catch the old fritter Wu Peichang's way, but Zhang Jiayu did not remind Zhu Yuan. The reason is very simple, Zhang Jiayu is the teacher of the crown prince Zhu Hai.
Zhang Jiayu is Zhu Hai's teacher, Wu Peichang is the prince's disciple, or Ma Mingyuan's same year, it stands to reason that these two are princelings, and they should have cooperated seamlessly. It's just that Zhang Jiayu really doesn't want to succumb to Ma Mingyuan, and Li Zhi and Qu Shiyun also want to drive Ma Mingyuan away, and the two forces are united, and Zhang Jiayu is the first to accuse Henan officials of corruption.
But the feud between Zhang Jiayu and Wu Peichang was only an internal struggle among the princelings, and when the prince was threatened by other princes, the two were unanimous to the outside world, so Zhang Jiayu knew that Wu Peichang was going to make a bad move, but he did not remind Zhu Yuan.
Now that Zhu Yuan has done such a big thing, Zhang Jiayu estimates that Zhu Yuan, the messenger, is also coming to an end, and the next step should be to see who the emperor sends.
Zhang Jiayu had already estimated the situation in the DPRK and China at that time, Wu Peichang belonged to Ma Mingyuan's party, and the emperor would definitely not send Ma Mingyuan's people to be this messenger. At the same time, this matter is operated by the Guangdong Party and the Donglin Party, and the emperor will definitely not send their people, at first Zhang Jiayu estimated that this Qin Cha should be Tong Yangjia and Feng Ziyong and other third-party forces to take responsibility, but I didn't expect the emperor to use no one, and used one of his own sons.
There is no way for Zhu Hongsan to send Zhu Yuan to serve as this Qin Mission, because all the officials in the DPRK and China are from various parties, and the only one who can rest assured is his own son, so Zhu Yuan was allowed to hold this important position.
Zhang Jiayu was also very surprised after receiving the news from the DPRK and China, Zhu Yuan's appointment as a messenger seemed to be nothing, but it showed that the emperor had distrusted the crown prince Zhu Hai, and at the same time was extremely disgusted with the party struggle between the DPRK and China, otherwise he would not have allowed outsiders to be the messenger at all.
If the emperor really thinks so, then the matter in Henan is not an internal struggle among the princelings, but Zhang Jiayu and Wu Peichang want to join forces to eradicate the threat of the prince. So Zhang Jiayu had obviously seen Wu Peichang's methods, but he didn't remind Zhu Yuan of the reason.
Now that Zhu Yuan has fallen into Wu Peichang's trap, he is no longer suitable to be a messenger, and naturally there is no threat to the prince, and the affairs of Henan have returned to the path predicted by Zhang Jiayu.
Zhang Jiayu sat in prison and closed his eyes to recuperate, and at the same time thought about the candidates who were qualified to serve as the Qin mission in the DPRK, as long as it was not Ma Mingyuan's party, no one would let Wu Peichang go, and when the time came, Ma Mingyuan would be brought to Ma Mingyuan through the matter of Wu Peichang, and he should also enter the Central Committee.
Zhang Jiayu was born in the forty-third year of Wanli, that is, in 1615, and this year is the eleventh year of Shenwu, that is, in 1662, Zhang Jiayu is already forty-seven. However, the age of 40 is the golden age of an official, Zhang Jiayu has served as a political envoy, governor, and the foreman of the military aircraft department, and he has all the qualifications of the central and local governments, and he is a young cadre who belongs to the second echelon.
Zhang Jiayu twisted his beard in his hands, closed his eyes and thought about his thoughts: The old man is forty-seven years old this year, and it is just right for him to go to the Central Committee to be a scholar, and then he will be mixed into the cabinet in five or six years, and strive to become the first assistant before the age of 60.
Zhang Jiayu remembered at this time that his family said that the musket of the pro-soldier went off the fire, so he killed the young student, Zhang Jiayu also led the soldiers back then, and also knew that the musket was easy to misfire, but this time it was too coincidental!
Zhang Jiayu thought of this, frowned tightly and thought: Is there something here? Ding Changsheng came from Ma Kun's fourth division, could it be that the prince had a participation in it, and he didn't want Zhu Yuan to get this credit?
Zhang Jiayu thought of this, and suddenly thought that Ma Kun was the commander of the crown prince Zhu Hai back then, and Zhu Hai was incognito as a soldier back then, and he was the fourth division that joined, if Ding Changsheng joined in, wouldn't it make the emperor think that the black hand behind it was the prince?
Zhang Jiayu was shocked when he thought of this, and he forgot that there were still two adult princes in the court, King Qin and King Chu, could they watch the prince pass the test safely? It is estimated that this fire incident was the work of these two princes. Thinking of this, Zhang Jiayu hurriedly took out a pen and paper and urgently wrote a letter to the prince, reminding the prince to be careful of the black guns of other princes.
