"Your Majesty, please take a look!"

As he spoke, Zhu Jie picked up the wooden box with both hands, and Cao Huachun on the side hurriedly took it, opened it gently, and handed it to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen asked, "Zhu Jie, are you in a hurry to see me, just to give me a wooden box?" ”

Zhu Jie signaled to Cao Huachun, Cao Huachun understood that the military affairs were important and inconvenient to enter the ears of the third party, otherwise, Zhu Jie could have taken it to the court and said, Cao Huachun hurriedly beckoned, and retreated with all the eunuchs and maids in the palace.

Zhu Jie just said: "Your Majesty, this is a big gift that Hong Chengchou just sent from outside the customs to send to the minister, a secret letter for the minister to pass on to you, and the other is a big gift prepared by Hong Chengchou for you!" ”

Hong Chengchou's secret music!

Chongzhen's face was full of shock, he didn't expect that the hand arranged by Zhu Jie outside the customs would play a role so quickly!

"Is it really Hong Chengchou's secret music?"

Chongzhen asked in shock.

Zhu Jie nodded and said: "That's right, Your Majesty, this wooden box was personally sent back by the secret agents who stayed outside the customs, and there will definitely be no fake!" ”

Chongzhen hurriedly picked up the piece of music and spread it out - "The criminal minister Prince Taibao, the Governor Ji Liao and Baoding military affairs, the military department Shangshu Hong Chengchou knelt down to ask the emperor Sheng'an, the most incompetent minister, Liaodong war, resulting in the elite of the imperial court, the sin is not forgiven, should have died to repay the country's kindness, however, it is not difficult to die, and a hundred deaths are not enough to eliminate the responsibility of the ministers, but they are still useful, and they try to repay the aftermath, the sky sees mercy, the angel goes to the Qing, Rong Chen complains from the heart, and the minister's body of capital crime seeks an inch of merit for the country, the minister is grateful, and dares not to die to repay the service, in order to thank the emperor. Today, the letter of the Jin merchants of Shanxi Province in the Ming Dynasty and the enemy chieftains of Manchuria who collaborated with the enemy did not dare to conceal it, and specially ordered someone to return it to Beijing...... The criminal minister Hong Chengchou bowed to his head! ”

Chongzhen looked at Hong Chengchou's chapter in a daze, yes, it is definitely Hong Chengchou's font, Hong Chengchou as the prince Taibao, the secretary of the military department, wrote no less than 100 chapters to himself, and he is familiar with his calligraphy!

Chongzhen's heart swelled with a love-hate emotion for Hong Chengchou, he regarded it as a humerus, and entrusted him with all the important affairs of the military state, but it led to the loss of the elite of the Ming Dynasty, and even after his defeat, he led the civil and military officials in the capital to carry out remote sacrifices, but he didn't expect that at this juncture, the information of Hong Chengchou's renegade and surrender came over, and the blow to himself was no more than this!

Wear a sinful body, endure humiliation, and make an internal response.

Hong Chengchou......

Chongzhen's eyes wandered, and he fell into deep thought.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Jie shouted softly.

Only then did Chongzhen come to his senses, put the music aside, picked up the letters in the wooden box, and looked at them carefully one by one, as Hong Chengchou said in the secret music, these Jin merchants are really hateful! Betraying the country for glory, Tian is shameless!

The twelve letters were compared with the evidence sent by Lan Tianzheng, and there was no mistake in the slightest! In particular, the Fan family, the Jin family and the Wang family, these three Jin merchants provided Manchuria with grain, salt, and iron and steel every year, worth millions of taels, made the three families rich, and now the eight Jin merchants, and then the trade with Mongolia and Manchuria, have a wealth of no less than 10 million taels!

This is a truly rich country, and the wealth accumulated by the Jin merchants in the past two hundred years is too huge! It has become unimaginably large, but unfortunately, the wealth possessed by these merchants has never made any contribution to the treasury of the Ming Dynasty!

What made Chongzhen angry the most was that this Fan Yongdou actually accepted the false position given by Huang Taiji and enshrined the yellow coat given by Huang Taiji! Annoying! It's shameless to the extreme!

"Jin Shang, Jin Shang!"

Chongzhen gritted his teeth and shouted, "I will not kill you all, and I will not be a man!" ”

"Your Majesty!"

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice: "The minister thinks that in order to avoid long nights and dreams, we need to take immediate action to close the net, and immediately issue an order to arrest and imprison Tong Guotai, the governor of Shanxi, and send Jinyi Wei to take unified action to raid all the eight Jin merchants!" Killing the Jin merchants, we are equivalent to blinding the eyes of Manchuria deployed in the Central Plains, and it will be difficult for them to obtain the intelligence of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Chongzhen nodded and said fiercely: "It's exactly what I want, none of them want to run!" immediately issued a decree to remove Tong Guo Taishan Xibu from his post as political envoy and escort him back to Beijing pending trial; Fang Kezhuang, the deputy imperial envoy of the capital, was transferred to Shaanxi as the political envoy and set off for his post on the same day! Cao Huachun immediately led the Jinyi Guard into Jin, and Lan Tianzheng started together, the eight Jin merchants were indispensable, and all the children were arrested and sent to Beijing to ask for crimes, regardless of the master and servant, no matter the old or the young, all of them were beheaded! All the property is paid into the national treasury! Also, there is more than one Tong Guotai in the DPRK who has something to do with Jin Shang, so Lan Tianzheng and Cao Huachun are searching, don't let go of any evidence, I want to clean up all the bastards! ”

"Your Majesty, there are also a large number of pawnshops, shops, farms, and even money villages in the capital in the eight families, and the minister thinks that he can control all the industries of these Jin merchants first, so as not to leak the news!"

Zhu Jie said again.

"Okay, Zhu Jie, immediately mobilize the troops of Tongzhou into the city, seal them one by one, confiscate all the property, and put the shopkeeper in prison, waiting for the guilt! By the way, aren't you going to open a bank? I will give you all the money of the Jin merchants in the capital, even if it is a congratulatory gift from me! ”

Chongzhen said coldly.

Gift? This Jin merchant in the capital of the money village is more than one or two, the entire Beijing city more than 20 money villages, there are more than 20 Jin merchants founded, it can be said that the entire Ming Dynasty, there is too much money in the hands of the Jin merchants, Jin merchants and Su merchants a south and a north, echoing each other, controlling the Ming Dynasty almost more than eighty percent of the wealth! Even if these money banks are just semicolons, there is a lot of money in them, of course, the most important thing is not these money, but the large number of talents contained in the money bank, the talents that Zhu Jie needs to prepare for the money bank!

"Thank you for the emperor's reward!"

Zhu Jie hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank him.

Chongzhen's wills were brushed out one by one, and Zhu Jie also returned to Tongzhou Town to mobilize troops, and the entire capital was in chaos.

The most surprising thing is that Fang Kezhuang, originally he thought about it behind closed doors at home, and the emperor sent himself to Shanxi with a holy decree, and the political envoy, of course, can not be said to be distributed, the two are equal positions, as a feudal official, the power held by the political envoy is not smaller than the left deputy capital Yushi!

However, the emperor's will is very urgent, and he will go to office on the same day!

Fang Kezhuang was helpless, so he had to obey the order, followed by the Tongzhou Town soldiers mobilized by Zhu Jie, Qin Mufeng led two cavalry battalions, according to the map, and all the properties left in the capital by the Jin merchants were seized within one day!
