"Your Majesty, there is one more thing, Lord Zhu Jie did not make it clear to the emperor, and the ministers did not dare to hide the emperor's ......"

Fang Yuegong said on the side.

Chongzhen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aiqing, what else do you have to do?" ”

Fang Yuegong said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you don't know, from the time Lord Zhu Jie entered Beijing to the time he arrived in Shengjing, it was only three months. However, Lord Zhu Jie had just arrived in Shengjing, and almost everyone in Manchuria knew the origin of Lord Zhu Jie, and even the most subtle details were clear, which was also the biggest reason why the Manchurians wanted to get rid of Lord Zhu Jie as soon as possible, and even the ancient precept that the two countries fought against each other and did not kill the envoys could not take care of it......"

Chongzhen's heart jumped, and he shouted in a low voice: "Fang Aiqing, you mean, someone sent a message to the Manchurians?" ”

Fang Yuegong nodded and replied: "Your Majesty, although the minister is very reluctant to admit it, but there must be someone who reports this matter, otherwise, it would be impossible for Manchuria to collect such detailed information about Lord Zhu Jie in such a short period of time, not only the things on the battlefield, but also the things in the court, your Majesty, no one has reported the news, this is simply impossible!" ”

Syllable!

The teacup in Chongzhen's hand was slammed to the ground!

"Damn bastard, don't let me know who did it, or I'll kill it!"

Chongzhen's face turned pale, and he roared angrily.

"Your Majesty, in fact, it is normal, Manchuria has often used such means since a long time ago, either to lure them to advantage, or to coerce and lure the subjects of the Ming Dynasty, and some of them who have no bones naturally fall under the sugar-coated shells!"

Zhu Jie said with a smile, "Fortunately, now we have already installed the dark chess of Hong Chengchou in Manchuria, and it will not be long before the effect of this dark chess move will be revealed......"

Chongzhen nodded and said in a deep voice: "Zhu Jie, do you have any suspicious candidates?" ”

Zhu Jie shook his head and replied: "Your Majesty, before there is real evidence, we must not act rashly, one is easy to startle the snake, and the other is easy to cause panic among the courtiers, what we have to do is to wait and see what happens, it is a fox, sooner or later it will show its tail, however, the minister has heard Hong Chengchou say that in Shaanxi, there are many big businessmen who are doing business with Mongolia and Manchuria, cloth, steel, tea, and grain, which continue to enter Mongolia and Manchuria from Shanxi, which is extremely unfavorable for us. When necessary, we must think of these Shanxi businessmen to open the knife and plug these gaps! ”

"Jin Shang?"

Chongzhen frowned and asked, "I have ordered that merchants are not allowed to sell grain, grass and steel into Mongolia and Manchuria, do these people regard them as deaf ears?" ”

"Stop!"

Zhu Jie smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, these merchants are mercenary, and they have made a lot of profits in the transaction, and at the same time, along with the export of these materials, it has also greatly enhanced the strength of the Mongolian tribes and Manchuria, and the most important thing is that in the transaction, all kinds of information of the Ming Dynasty were betrayed to the Mongols and Manchurian Tartars, a few years ago, the Manchurian army invaded the Central Plains from Xuanda, if there were no Shanxi merchants to sell intelligence, our military deployment and other information were sold to the Manchurians, How could they find out the flaws in our defense so smoothly, drive straight in, and directly advance the troops to Baoding or even the area of the Daimyo's Mansion? ”

"Damn! Disgusting! ”

Chongzhen shouted viciously: "Fang Aiqing, pass on the decree and order the governor of Shanxi to strictly investigate the merchants of Shanxi, and punish those who collaborate with the enemy!" ”

Fang Yuegong hurriedly agreed.

Zhu Jie was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister has already said that if you are in a hurry, we will only startle the snake!" ”

"Is it time for you to turn a blind eye and sit idly by?"

Chongzhen said dissatisfied.

Zhu Jie replied: "It's not that you sit idly by, but you can't do it with such fanfare, if you do this, you will definitely startle the snake, and it will definitely alarm more than one snake!" ”

"What do you mean?"

Chongzhen asked.

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate the current Jin merchants, now the Jin Merchants Group is sitting on a wealth of no less than tens of millions of taels, and the power is huge, it must not be underestimated, and the most important thing is that there are many courtiers in the court who have a close relationship with the Jin merchants, if we openly open the knife to the Jin merchants, those courtiers will definitely jump out to stop it, in this case, we have no conclusive evidence in our hands, and we can only be forced back by the courtiers!" Moreover, once the snake is not killed, it will be endless troubles, and the Manchurians will find a way to deal with it in the shortest possible time, so that our previous achievements will be wasted! ”

Fang Yuegong said in a deep voice: "Zhu Jie, what do you mean, what should we do now?" ”

Zhu Jie said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Lord Fang, although it is not possible to investigate in a grand manner, we can secretly investigate, don't our emperors have brocade guards in their hands?" Find an excuse to replace all the Jinyi guard system in Shanxi, send trustworthy cadres to preside over affairs in the past, and collect evidence of Jinshan's collaboration with the enemy. ”

Chongzhen's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he nodded: "Yes, plan and move, either you don't make a move, as long as you make a move, then you must make a gain!" However, Zhu Jie, it is not only the Jin merchants who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, but Lord Fang said just now that even the details of the court have been leaked by them, and it is impossible to do it without the people of the court! ”

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice: "Yes, the bigwigs in the court, there are definitely people involved, it's just that we have no evidence, it's not easy to start, it is precisely because of this that we need to collect evidence and secretly start, once these Jin merchants are locked, catch a few of them first, lead the snake out of the hole, as long as the people in the court show their heads, then it's done, annihilate them all in one fell swoop, and sweep away the demonic atmosphere of the court!" ”

Fang Yuegong said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the minister recommended Lord Zhu Jie's Tongzhou Left Guard Commander to make Lan Tianzheng transfer to Jinyi Guard, Lan Tianzheng is capable and loyal, and the minister thinks that it is the most suitable for this task!" ”

"Good!"

Chongzhen said in a deep voice: "Passing on the decree, the acting commander of Tongzhou Zuowei will transfer the Jinyi Wei to the rank of commander Tongzhi, hold the secret decree, lead the Jinyi Wei to secretly enter Shanxi, investigate the evidence of the Jin Shang's collaboration with the enemy and betrayal of the country, I must personally execute all these traitors who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and let them all go to hell to see the king of Hades!" ”
