Chapter three hundred and ninety fourth: all explained
This is the hatred of killing a son.
Originally, Emperor Tianqi thought it was a natural disaster and was inseparable from others. But now I know that this is the real man-made disaster.
It is definitely not just one or two people who cause this man-made disaster.
Instead, it involves a chain of interests that make tens of thousands of people live.
What a horrible thing this is.
With so many people participating in it, the essence of these people is actually to constantly feed Mongolian and Jiannu people, and then a huge robber group was formed!
This bandit group constantly plundered and accumulated wealth through continuous robbery of the Ming Dynasty and even massacre of the people.
In the end, they shared the spoils with the Mongolian tribes and the Jiannu people. They obtained money, and the Mongolian and the Jiannu people obtained a large amount of slaves and land.
And these people have been rampant for hundreds of years.
At this time, the hatred of the country and family were entangled, and the anger filled the heart of Emperor Tianqi.
In fact, he may not have such hatred for Jiannu and the Mongols.
After all, I am enemies of these people and have been hostile from the beginning. Either I subdue you or you kill me!
If you are not my race, your heart will be different. This is a matter of course. As the emperor, it is natural for me to kill you. However, when you attack my Ming Dynasty, the contradictions cannot be resolved, but there is nothing to say.
But people like Tian Shenglan and Wu Xiang are different. Even if they are not Ming ministers and have no official salary, they have obtained the benefits given to them by the Ming Dynasty through various forms.
Whether it is prosperity or stability, they are their special power over ordinary people.
But for the sake of their interests, they dare to do anything and do everything.
田生兰此时已感觉到恐惧了.
Now Wu Xiang has explained clearly.
Tian Shenglan could not argue anyway.
Because of this...
Tian Shenglan said, "I...I am willing to explain..."
The ministers looked at Tian Shenglan one by one, and they couldn't help but feel agitation at this time. Who knew who would be involved at that time?
It can even be said that these people are afraid they have done a lot of business in order to do their business!
Of course, this is definitely not in the name of smuggling. In essence, these people divide their labor, some specialize in managing relationships in the capital, some infiltrate the army, and some specialize in smuggling... Maybe they go to their houses on weekdays and give themselves ice ceremonies and charcoal ceremonies.
It is precisely because of this... that makes people extremely uneasy!
Now that Tian Shenglan is willing to explain, Emperor Tianqi is about to continue asking.
Wei Zhongxian became alert and then said, "Your Majesty, please ask all officials to take their leave temporarily. Today... they have worked hard, not to mention that there are many official duties in each department."
After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi immediately understood and said, "Retreat, Zhang Qing, Tian Ergeng, you can stay."
The officials looked at Tian Shenglan in a complicated way, but had to politely say, "I will leave."
The ministers dispersed like a tide with a nervous mood.
Other eunuchs also retreated one after another.
In this hall, only Wei Zhongxian, Tian Ergeng and Zhang Jingyi were left, and then Tian Shenglan was left.
Tian Shenglan knelt on the ground without saying a word.
Emperor Aoki looked very anxious with his hands behind his back.
He thought of his dead Prince Zhu Cijing of Xianhuai, and his hatred in his heart was hard to eliminate. He took a deep breath and said, "I'll say it."
Tian Shenglan said: "There are eight people doing this business. In addition to me, there are Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Jiabin, Zhai Tang, and Huang Yunfa..."
Emperor Tianqi snorted coldly: "You colluded with Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Chunchen?"
Tian Shenglan said: "Yes."
Emperor Aoki said angrily: "What's next?"
"After Huang Taiji was taken, we realized the danger, so after the news reached Datong Mansion, we immediately began to discuss, thinking... this matter... is very likely to involve us."
Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but sarcastically angrily: "You have a very sensitive sense of smell."
"People who do business are the most careful about this."
Emperor Aoki said coldly: "What's next?"
"Then our eight families were determined to move north and first move their tribesmen. As for these transactions, we will temporarily hold our troops and watch the wind. When the news of Duke Cheng Guo was arrested, we immediately ran out of the gate."
"Where is your family wealth? Can you leave, can you take your family wealth away?" Emperor Tianqi sneered.
This matter, from the time the court discovered that it would take only half a month to run away. If an ordinary family wanted to relocate, of course, it would be more than enough.
But how could people like them run away just by saying that they can run away?
"At all... there is no need to take away your family's wealth." Tian Shenglan said with a blue face and said, "Just just need... not in our name. Over the years, the silver that has been earned has actually been stored in various names... In addition to taking out a large sum of money to Duke Cheng and Liaodong generals, as well as various manpower expenses... these silver... are all entrusted to other people's names, whether it is land, gold and silver..."
All of a sudden, everyone in the palace understood.
Zhang Jingyi was also enlightened.
At first.
Zhang Jingyi kept thinking about how these people ran away. People ran away, but what about so much land and gold and silver?
Fortunately, he was a human being for two lifetimes, but he didn't know how a person who was doing such a beheading business could put his wealth in his own name?
In fact, it is too simple to deal with this matter.
They just need to put gold, silver, land, and real estate in the name of others, or...... in some people who do not exist at all.
The current Ming Dynasty implemented the yellow book system, but the management of household registration was already very chaotic.
It is of course difficult for ordinary people to change their households, but for these people, it is just a breeze.
Although their people can run away, their property is still in the Ming Dynasty, under the names of people who only they know, and as for gold, silver and jewelry, of course, they are also hidden in unknown places.
They only need to bring an urgent amount of gold and silver. When the limelight comes, and then find a way to enter the pass, naturally... they can easily continue to spend their countless wealth.
Emperor Tianqi looked at Tian Shenglan tightly and asked again: "Since that's the case, since you have run away, why are you going back?"
"We have to come back." Tian Shenglan smiled bitterly and said, "That world... tens of thousands of people rely on this for their meals. The Liao generals and countless manpower, even the Jiannu people and the Mongolian tribes. For the past century, everyone has relied on this food and drink. Now because of the Duke of Cheng, we have certainly run out, but we have cut off the source of wealth. The Mongolian tribes and the Jiannu people have also lost a steady stream of gunpowder, medicinal materials, tea and pig iron. How can we let us go easily? Naturally, we are constantly urging us to start a new deal immediately! Otherwise, even if we run out of the barrier, will those people... really let us go?"
This is Tian Shenglan’s distress!
Stop?
At this point, although you have earned wealth that is as rich as a country, so many people rely on this to make a living, can you stop by saying that you can stop? Where can you go?
Even if you want to rely on a century-old family business to maintain countless wealth in the future, is others willing?
Emperor Aoki said with a cold face again: "Continue to talk."
Tian Shenglan said: "After such urging, I discussed with several other people, and felt that this would not be a solution. However... the court is strictly guarding this, and there is no second Duke Cheng in the court to replace it for the time being. If you want to continue to do business, you must move it... and move it..."
Needless to say, everyone understands what it is.
Emperor Tianqi widened his eyes angrily and said sternly: "Can you remove this stumbling block from me?"
Tian Shenglan said, "Yes, there is also the Marquis of Xinxian... as long as you take down His Majesty and the Marquis of Xinxian... Once the emperor and the ministers of Xinxian, at that time... you can find some people in the capital and cooperate with them to deliver goods to the outside of the pass again."
After pausing, he continued: "This time, Your Majesty went on a tour, and we saw an opportunity. As long as the matter was planned well, we could solve the problem. Even the retreat was already thought of, Li Ruzhen, a man with great ambitions and talent, was hopelessly stupid, could encourage him to act. Wu Xiang and other military generals have received a lot of favors from us on weekdays. After the matter was completed, they arranged for him to lead his troops out of seclusion. Whether it was to join Mongolia or Jiannu, we would make arrangements from it. As long as the matter was done, the capital would inevitably fall into turmoil. At that time... we have enough money to buy people with weight and continue to cooperate with us..."
The Emperor of Heaven became more angry as he heard it, and he sneered repeatedly, so he asked again: "Where are the other seven families?"
Tian Shenglan said truthfully: "They are still outside the pass, so I will only let me come... Actually... I don't want to come, but... there must be someone in this capital, and you cannot pretend to be someone else."
Emperor Tianqi narrowed his eyes: "It was your eight families who created the explosion in Wang Gong Factory?"
Hearing this, Tian Shenglan looked up at Emperor Tianqi. At the sharp gaze of Emperor Tianqi, Tian Shenglan couldn't help but tremble for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "There are many people who act, but our eight families...a lot of things are discussed and done. It is indeed the last decision of our eight families."
Emperor Aoki took a deep breath, finally calmed down a little, and then said, "Where is your wealth hidden?"
"This...this..." When asked here, Tian Shenglan was silent.
这是百年的基业啊!
The wealth accumulated after doing so many misfortunes...
To be honest, only I know my own wealth and will never be revealed to anyone. Now Emperor Aoki asks me, how can he answer?
