Chapter 691: Eunuch Chang is planted
Without waiting for Chang Kun to finish speaking, Wang Xun couldn't help but interrupt: "Chang Kun, you old horseman, for your own personal grudges, actually used public weapons for private purposes, and used the Shenji Camp to vent your anger, almost causing a monstrous disaster...... There is another sentence behind it, which is not suitable to say in public, that is, it almost affected himself and Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei. If www.biquge.info hadn't arrived in time and heard Chang Kun admit it himself, the two of them would still be kept in the dark.
Chang Kun was startled when he heard Wang Xun's voice, why did he come too? looked left and right in the crack of the door but couldn't see each other, and hurriedly explained through the door: "Lord Wang, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, I did have a holiday with the surname Xia, but I led the Shenji Battalion to stop it, but it was to protect the palace from being offended by thieves......"
Xia Nan interjected at the right time: "So let the Shenji Battalion fight with us, this is how Gonggong Chang protects the palace from being offended?" Could it be that the guns have long eyes and avoid the Forbidden City by themselves? ”
Chang Kun was speechless for a while, speechless.
Although Xu Hongji is a noble military general in the Taiping period, unlike his ancestors who have served as the prince of the country for a lifetime, but he is also a fiery character, today in order to calm the situation and not cause a catastrophe, he has been suppressing his temper, hearing this, he can no longer control it, and shouted: "Chang Kun, for the sake of personal grievances, you provoked a dispute with Qionghai Town without authorization, and almost dragged down the entire Nanjing Jingying, if the two sides start a full-scale war, the whole city of Nanjing, it is not too much to cut you with a thousand knives!" Stop quibbling, wash your neck and wait for the Holy One to cut off your head! ”
Wang Xun also picked up the conversation: "The private use of public weapons almost caused a rebellion and spread to the whole city, which is one of the crimes; Using the identity of the eunuch to take advantage of the situation in Suzhou, he fought with the people for profit, involving a huge amount of millions of taels of silver, which is the second crime. I will play these two crimes according to the facts, and you will wait to be involved! ”
Chang Kun wants to cry without tears, the raw silk business involves millions of taels of silver, yes, but he was cut off by Xia Nan, and the attempt can also be counted? And in his hands, he is competing with the people for profit, Xia Nan, the chief soldier, has done such a big business and has no, isn't this a typical double standard, just because he has soldiers in his hands? Poor Chang Kun forgot that Chang Wei was instructed by him to empty gloves and white wolves, and Xia Nan bought and resold to Japan at a high price, but he took advantage of the asymmetry of the abundant capital and the flying clippers, and gave real money and silver, and did business seriously.
Chang Kun came out of the palace, knowing the weight of Wang Xun's list of these two crimes, if the first one is very likely to remove him from his hard-earned position as a town guard eunuch, but as long as the celebrant has someone to speak for him, he may not necessarily die, then the second charge may send him to Huangquan Road.
Chongzhen was an emperor with many shortcomings, but he was also a diligent and thrifty emperor. For the sake of Zhongxing Daming, he can work day and night, review and review, and never complain; In order to save money for training and fighting, while he lavishly apportioned the Liao salary to the people, he also started from himself, laid off many palace maids and eunuchs, reduced the expenses in the palace, and even patched the dragon robe. Such an emperor, who deducted himself from everything, knew that the minions he sent out would loot millions of taels of silver (although he did not succeed in the end), which was almost equivalent to a year's salary in the whole country (ten years before Chongzhen, the maximum salary was no more than six million taels), what kind of mood would he have?
The more Chang Kun thought about it, the more frightened he became, he seemed to see Chongzhen's angry face and scolding: "I work hard day and night for the sake of the country, and I cut down on food and clothing, you are a slave who doesn't share my worries, and you use the power I give you to loot so much silver, you should be killed!" ”
The eunuchs guarding the town are majestic in Nanjing, but their power and status all come from the imperial power, Chongzhen can give Chang Kun all this, and he can easily take it back, including his life. It is easier for an emperor to kill a eunuch than a chicken, unlike killing civil servants and military generals, who have concerns or resistance from all sides. Thinking of this, Chang Kun couldn't stand anymore and collapsed to the ground, and the servants around him hurriedly went up to help him, and asked one after another, "Master, what's wrong with you?" But I saw Chang Kun's eyes glazed, as if he was stupid.
Outside the door, the more Xu Hongji thought about it, the more angry he became, pointing to the closed door and shouting: "Come on, smash open this door for me, pull out Chang Kun, the old horseman, and don't beat him, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" ”
The voice fell, but no one answered behind him. Xu Hongji glanced back, and there were soldiers from the Qiong Navy behind him, and then he thought that in order to calm the matter, the Zhenwu Battalion and the Chihe Battalion, including the personal soldiers in his own mansion, were all behind, and they couldn't help but be a little embarrassed if they didn't follow.
Seeing this, Xia Nan volunteered: "With such a noble status as the Duke of the Kingdom, how can you let you do such a dirty job as breaking the door, or leave it to me!" ”
He waved his hand, and Yang Youji pounced with a group of wolf-like soldiers of the Guards Battalion, smashed and kicked, smashed the gate open, and rushed in to drag Chang Kun, who was paralyzed on the ground, in front of Xu Hongji. At this time, Chang Kun completely lost his previous arrogance, his spirit was completely gone, and he was sluggish.
Xu Hongji was about to roll up his sleeves and beat him, but was stopped by Wang Xun.
Wang Xun said in a low voice: "Wei Guogong is angry, it depends on the master to beat the dog, no matter what he commits, after all, he is a slave of the king's family, and it is also a holy matter to deal with it, and it is not appropriate for you and me to do it." ”
Xu Hongji thought about it and felt that Wang Xun was reasonable, and he couldn't make the emperor have an opinion of him in order to be happy for a while, so he spat at Chang Kun: "Look at you like this, it seems that you also know what will happen in the future, I won't worry about a dying person, and I will have my own holy decree to punish your sins." ”
He turned his head to Xia Nan and said, "Mr. Xia, today's events are all misunderstandings, and all the mistakes are Chang Kun's fault, you see, ......"
Xia Nan said with a smile: "There is a debtor and a debtor, I am not an unreasonable person, naturally I will not be angry with the Duke of Wei and Lord Wang, I am also at fault for forcibly entering the city, and I have a conflict with the brothers of the Shenji Battalion, and I am willing to accept the punishment......"
In the final analysis, Xu Hongji is still a martial artist, not in the same camp as a civilian official, and he is naturally easy to get close to this kind of general who has the ability to win battles, and after seeing the Qiong Navy easily defeating the Shenji Battalion, he even had the idea of making friends. Now seeing that Xia Nan is very good, giving him enough face, he likes it in his heart, and besides, he has never had a good relationship with Chang Kun, who can only make money and eats ugly food, so he immediately opened his eyes wide and said: "What Mr. Xia said is not right, it is obvious that Chang Kun single-handedly planned this incident, Qionghaizhen was just forced to defend himself, how can you let you share the blame for him?" Lord Wang, do you say? The second half of the sentence was said to Wang Xuan.
