Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Song Xiance interrupted abruptly, causing both Zhu Youjian and Wu Buwei to look at him curiously. Could this guy have a grudge against Qian Qianyi?

You know, Qian Qianyi is one of the big bosses of the Donglin Party and has a very high reputation. However, this guy is not very lucky and has never been able to climb up to the cabinet position.

The old guy has been in the officialdom for many years, and he is definitely a thousand-year-old fox who has already become a master. It is not easy to trick him.

"Liu Rushi." Song Xiance said.

"..." Zhu Youjian frowned, did this guy take the wrong medicine today? Don’t say even one more word, so you cherish words like gold?

"Isn't this bad?" He hesitated. Although he understood what Song Xiance meant, digging a hole for Qian Qianyi would have a higher chance of success, but taking advantage of a woman was somewhat unkind.

Not to mention the friendship between Chen Yuanyuan, Li Xiangjun and Liu Rushi, Liu Rushi was one of the famous strange women in the late Ming Dynasty. Her actions were admirable, but she was a bit embarrassed to take action.

"I just made a suggestion." Song Xiance explained that as one of the emperor's royal military advisers, he only made reasonable suggestions to the emperor. As for whether the emperor would adopt them or not, that was the emperor's business.

Zhu Youjian frowned and pondered, his face changed, and he was obviously very troubled in his heart.

"Your Majesty, if you add one more person, the effect may be better." Wu Buwei said, with comparison and reference, Qian Qianyi couldn't argue, and even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he wouldn't be able to clean himself.

"Yes." Zhu Youjian nodded. Wu Buwei's suggestion made him make an instant decision.

Anyway, Liu Rushi followed Qian Qianyi, and the final ending was very tragic. I cheated her to help her, and I have always been sympathetic to her.

He is in an extremely good mood at the moment. Any one of his three major military advisors is enough to stir up the storm. Now the two major military advisors are working together to dig holes. The power is not as simple as one plus one equals two. Donglin Party members should feel comfortable. Yes, hehe.

The rumors outside spread more and more fiercely, and the people complained one after another to vent their dissatisfaction. When these complaints and dissatisfaction accumulated for three days, the merchants in the capital seemed to have formed a tacit understanding, and even closed their shops in unison to go on strike, triggering It caused a great shock and made people who could not buy daily necessities feel uneasy. The whole capital was filled with uneasiness and even panic.

The palace was as calm as water. Even in the court every day, the emperor seemed to have forgotten about taxing merchants and only dealt with other political affairs, which also made the officials confused and uneasy.

Zhu Youjian remained silent, but had made various preparations in advance. The First Royal Division commanded by Xu Yu, the Royal Guards Regiment commanded by Chang Buzhou, the Third Royal Division commanded by Gao Jie, and even the Red Lady in Mi County were all received Secretly, her independent First Division of the National Defense Force was ready to send troops to counter the rebellion at any time.

The Jin Yiwei commanded by Tian Boguang and the underground forces commanded by Shen Baichuan went out in full force, frantically looking for those who spread rumors.

It was very difficult to accurately catch those who spread the rumors in the first place. Tian Boguang could only use the stupidest method. When he saw the people who were talking, he immediately invited them to the Jinyiwei Prison for tea.

The person who was invited to tea was so frightened that he peed on the spot. There was no need to use torture at all. He immediately found out who had heard the story, and then led the Jin Yiwei to arrest the person. Then he continued the interrogation, peeling off the cocoon layer by layer, and followed the clues.

This elimination method is not only heavy and tedious, but it is very effective. Unfortunately, when the last source is found, the person who spread the news was drunk the day before yesterday and either fell into the smelly ditch or accidentally fell into the river and drowned. Death, the clue is interrupted.

Tian Boguang and Shen Baichuan knew in their hearts that these unlucky guys did not drown accidentally, but were silenced by the mastermind behind the scenes. After all, the Jinyiwei made great moves to arrest people for interrogation, which probably frightened the mastermind behind the scenes.

The two had no choice but to go to the palace to plead guilty.

"Everyone, please step back." Zhu Youjian waved his hand. He was not a fool. Tian Boguang and Shen Baichuan were able to trace the matter to the last step. They had already tried their best. It can only be said that the mastermind behind the scenes was too cunning.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Tian Boguang and Shen Baichuan thanked each other and retired. After leaving the palace, they changed into casual clothes and met in a remote tavern to have a drink and discuss matters.

Although the emperor was wise and did not blame them, they still felt that they had not been able to handle the things the emperor had asked them to do well. They looked very embarrassed and felt angry in their hearts.

"Brother Shen, what should we do next?" Tian Boguang asked in a low voice after offering Shen Baichuan a glass of wine.

He had always been grudged against the mastermind behind the scenes, and he wished he could immediately pull out the cramps and skin them to relieve his hatred.

"What else can I do, I can only keep an eye on him secretly... uh..." Shen Baichuan replied with a wry smile, his eyes habitually glanced around, and his face changed slightly.
