At that time, the East Warehouse was silent.

Emperor Chongzhen looked cold and looked at the secret music on the dragon's desk, and his sword eyebrows were wide open, but he was thinking about what to do with the chaos in Shanxi.

Wang Chengen showed a worried look on his face. Seeing that his prince was silent, he was very worried.

The resettlement of victims from Shanxi and Shaanxi has not yet been thoroughly sorted out. The situation in the capital area is like that. Now there is a rebellion in Shanxi. What should I do?

Under Wang Chengen's gaze, Emperor Chongzhen moved, picked up a secret memorial, and started reading it.

"The commander of Wuxiang Left Guard Mao Chenglu reported: I am following the imperial envoy Li Shufu to Jin. The Wuxiang Left Guard was led by the Wuxiang Left Guard, under the rule of Taiyuan Prefecture, assisted Liu Hongxun, the Minister of the Military Affairs Department, to investigate corrupt officials in the prefectures and counties, and

According to Your Majesty's secret order, we recruited brave men under the rule of Taiyuan Prefecture..."

The secret memorial presented by Mao Chenglu detailed his actions under the rule of Taiyuan Prefecture after going to Shanxi. He led the Wuxiang Left Guard. During the period when he was in power in Taiyuan Prefecture, he recruited two thousand brave men and bravely. Everything was stable in the early stage.

However, when the Shanxi Supervisor's Grain Road was tracked down and the road was divided into different patrols, the situation completely changed.

Perhaps it was because Liu Hongxun's investigation in Taiyuan, Datong and other places was too strict that many local officials fell into panic.

Faced with this situation, although Liu Hongxun suspended the review, the arrest of Shanxi's grain supervision road caused many local officials to be worried.

Looking at the secret memorial presented by Mao Chenglu, Emperor Chongzhen frowned. In his opinion, although what Liu Hongxun did was a little more powerful, there was no problem at all.

After all, I condemned Li Banghua to Shanxi to investigate the corruption case in a deep way, just to seize the corrupt officials, so that the situation under Shanxi could stabilize and prevent Shanxi from continuing to decay.

In the third year of Chongzhen, a group of bandit forces that ravaged Shanxi and Shaanxi would invade and plunder Shanxi. If they could not rob them and rectify Shanxi, once there were more bandit forces rushing in, Shanxi would still be a mess.

"Wuxiang Right Guard Commander Kong Youde reported: Since I led the Wuxiang Right Guard and accompanied Li Shufu to Jin, I have been under the rule of Datong Prefecture. According to Your Majesty's secret order, I have collected 3,000 brave men and brave men under the rule of Datong Prefecture and assisted the Military Affairs Office.

Minister Liu Hongxun, responsible..."

He put down the secret song presented by Mao Chenglu, picked up the secret song presented by Kong Youde, and Emperor Chongzhen continued to read with a serious expression.

Wang Chengen: “…”

Seeing that the emperor's face was getting more and more angry, Wang Chengen knew that the chaos in Shanxi was probably worse than he expected.

A turbulent autumn!

It's really a turbulent time.

Could it be that the Shanxi officialdom has been completely corrupt?

"Geng Zhongming, the commander of the left guard of Tengxiang, reported: I..."

"The commander of Tengxiang Right Guard Shang Kexi reported: I..."

While Wang Chengen was thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen, who suppressed the anger, read through secret comments one by one, and he deliberately kept the secret comments submitted by Li Banghua until the end.

Through Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi, the secret memorials presented by Emperor Chongzhen could clearly understand what the situation in the prefectures, prefectures and counties in Shanxi were like.

The current scope of civil chaos in Shanxi is clearly defined in Datong, Taiyuan, Fenzhou, Pingyang Prefecture and other places.

The above places have the same characteristics, either adjacent to the border town fortress or adjacent to Shaanxi where bandits are rampant.

On the contrary, there was no so-called civil unrest in Liaozhou, Lu'an Prefecture and other places close to Northern Zhili.

However, Liaozhou, Lu'an Prefecture and other places rushed all the refugees under their jurisdiction to Zhending Prefecture and Baoding Prefecture.

‘The chaos in Shanxi is caused by a spontaneous self-rescue behavior.’

After throwing off the memorial he had received, Emperor Chongzhen frowned and thought in his heart:

‘The officialdom in Shanxi is not all corrupt, but at least half of the local officials have problems.

They either participated in the smuggling and collusion of the enemy, or participated in the interception of the imperial court's allocation of money and food, or raised the price of food under their rule, including local gentry, landlords of all sizes, etc.

This is really a sucker for the Ming Dynasty. He seized the vitality of the Ming Dynasty without any scruples and used his power for personal gain. I am afraid that the situation in other parts of the Ming Dynasty will be similar.’

Just through the secret report presented by Mao Chenglu and others, Emperor Chongzhen keenly discovered that various places under the Ming Dynasty, gentry, landlords and other groups controlled a large number of means of production, either colluded with officials, or relying on their own background, or

Taking advantage of the disaster, we ignore the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty and exploit the overwhelmed people.

"Li Banghua, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, reported: I am following the order to go to Jin again, and bring a group of imperial envoys in the Censorate to investigate the prefectures and counties under the rule of Shanxi, and found many problems... What made me feel frightened,

The Jin vassal state of Taiyuan, which is a vassal of the Jin vassal state, all signs indicate that it is closely related to the eight major thieves who were arrested…”

With all kinds of thoughts, Emperor Chongzhen picked up the secret comment presented by Li Banghua and read it, but the content in it was far more serious than what he thought.

Jin Fan was actually involved.

Previously, Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about something. Even if these guys led by Fan Yongdou had the nerve to do business, they would risk be beheading and secretly smuggling and smuggling enemies in Zhangjiakou.

However, Fan Yongdou's previous background was no longer there. How did they bribe local officials, including those commanding soldiers, school and garrison officials.

As for the officials of the Ming Dynasty, they all despise merchants in their hearts. Even if Fan Yongdou and others were using money to open the way, it would definitely be a difficult task to achieve their own premeditation in the early stage.

If the things you did at the beginning were not done well, there would be a greater risk and people would notice something. In this way, there would be a great risk of smuggling and engaging in enemies.

"Okay! That's great!"

Emperor Chongzhen closed the memorial in his hand, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and gritted his teeth and said, "We are all forcing me to eat the imperial grain of the Ming Dynasty and take the salary of the Ming Dynasty, but the things we do are all harmful to the country of the Ming Dynasty.

matter.

Especially the Jin vassal family, who was a descendant of the Emperor and Emperor Taizu Gao, should have shared the worries of the country and the dynasty, but they did not expect to betray the Ming Dynasty.

He is really a filial son and grandson of Huang Ming!!"

“!!!”

Wang Chengen's face changed slightly, and he looked at his prince with surprise. The people of Shanxi that had born were even involved in the Jin vassal lineage, which was a vassal of Taiyuan.

"Everyone is forcing me, then kill me!"

Emperor Chongzhen said coldly: "Parent Wang, go and summon all the ministers of the Military Affairs Bureau to me. I want to convey the will to the people of Shanxi."

"Here!"
