"me……"
Li Shiwen was frightened, but when he heard the words Wei Zhongxian, he still reacted. If he was really sent to Dongchang by the emperor! Even if you don't die, you will still lose your skin!
He, he doesn’t want to go to that kind of place!
"Qi... Well, I, I didn't expect why I came here, here!"
He originally wanted to say "Your Majesty", but seeing the cannibalistic looks in Chongzhen and Wang Chengen's eyes, he quickly changed his mind!
"General Li, you don't even know it yourself. Do you want us to remind you?"
Chongzhen's face instantly turned livid, and he knew in his heart that there must be someone behind this! If this was the palace, he would have to skin this guy!
"I...I am..."
Li Shiwen noticed a chill on his back and immediately reacted, "Sir... Sir, this is what happened."
Then he told everything about Qian Qianyi instructing Hong Chengyu and Qiao Jingen to find him.
Hu Yunqing, who was already a little drunk, couldn't help but sober up.
It's not that he's afraid, but he feels that the pressure from Dongchang is too strong.
It can be seen from Li Shiwen that Wei Zhongxian is quite intimidating, otherwise he wouldn't be so frightened by a sixth-grade Yuanwailang.
"Qian Qianyi, Hong Chengyu?"
When Chongzhen heard these two names, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, gritted his teeth and almost jumped up.
He didn't expect that these two old boys were still trying to catch his cousin's attention!
"Yes, sir, it's absolutely true! It was the two of them who instigated it!"
Li Shiwen nodded hurriedly and said quickly, "If it weren't for the two of them, I wouldn't come here to disturb your enjoyment!"
He finally figured it out. Why did he come to catch the rebels? This is simply asking him to die! Damn, simply hateful!
"good very good!"
Chongzhen has already made up his mind, he must let these guys know how powerful he is!
Thinking of this, he immediately looked at Wang Chengen, "You go with General Li now to find Qian Qianyi and explain the matter to him clearly! Do you understand? Also tell him that my cousin is not a rebel! "
"Understood."
The tacit understanding between the monarch and his subjects made the eunuch react immediately, and then he couldn't help but say, "What about Hong Chengyu and Qiao Jingen?"
"When Sun Yunhe clearly determines Hong Shijie's crime, it won't be too late to arrest them both!"
When Hu Yunqing heard this, he waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
"Since my cousin has said so, let's let them go for now."
Chongzhen originally thought of arresting the two of them together, but since his cousin had spoken, he let the two old boys stay comfortable for two days.
"yes!"
Wang Chengen then nodded, and then glanced at Li Shiwen, "General Li, let's go."
"Yes Yes!"
At this time, the guerrilla general was already trembling.
If he had known about it in advance, even if he had ten courages, he would not have dared to come here to cause trouble!
"Old man Qian, you're a bitch!"
He couldn't help but cursed and hurriedly left with the others as if fleeing.
"Cousin, these people are so bastards! How can they arrest people indiscriminately?"
Seeing everyone leave, Chongzhen hurriedly came to Hu Yunqing with a wine bottle, poured wine for him and said with a smile.
"This is the source of chaos in the Ming Dynasty."
Hu Yunqing was already a little drunk, so he didn't pay attention to the previous change in Li Shiwen's expression and attitude. He just thought that he was afraid of Wei Zhongxian.
"Officials work for their own party and will do whatever it takes for a little personal gain."
He looked at the cup with drunken eyes and said, "Now it can be said to be a mess. Alas, coupled with the emperor's inaction..."
"..."
Chongzhen didn't expect his cousin to misunderstand him so much, but he didn't want to explain it now. It wouldn't be too late to reveal his identity after he managed the prosperous Ming Dynasty!
"By the way, cousin, you should first tell me how to cooperate with His Majesty!"
He sat down again, raised his glass and asked.
After all, it can earn tens of millions of silver, and it can also shake the foundation of Jiannu's side. Who wouldn't be moved by this?
If we can have this opportunity, wouldn’t it be God’s blessing for the Ming Dynasty?
"This business is quite simple. For the emperor, it doesn't even require any capital."
Hu Yunqing raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, then lay on the back of the chair and said slowly.
"Is there really a hugely profitable business? My dear brother is already interested."
When Chongzhen heard this, his eyes widened immediately and he couldn't help but speak.
"That's natural."
Hu Yunqing smiled, then stared at the roof and said in a deep voice, "You said that to confiscate a house, what capital does the emperor need? For him, all he needs is to send out soldiers! Besides, if a house is raided, won't you have money? What's more? The big Shanxi merchant family!”
"Cousin, do you mean to copy the big families of Shanxi merchants?"
After hearing this, Chongzhen's face darkened, and he lost all his excitement.
Indeed, for the emperor, this was a way to make money.
However, the country is a public instrument, so it does not mean that you can just raid your house if you want.
Furthermore, although the Qiao family and the Bai family acted as internal agents for Jiannu, the Hong family wanted to attack their cousin again this time.
But in the final analysis, there is no substantial evidence on hand.
Want to confiscate your home just because of his words? It's really difficult.
Besides, the entire Shanxi merchants were monolithic, how could they copy them all? It's a little difficult.
"What? Isn't it possible?"
Hu Yunqing raised his eyebrows, then sat up straight and took a bite of food, "Or do you think I'm taking revenge on Hong Shijie?"
"My cousin is not a narrow-minded person. It is definitely not for these reasons. There must be other reasons."
Chongzhen really thought so, but he couldn't say it out loud.
After all, even if my cousin takes revenge on Shanxi merchants, it will not harm the entire Ming Dynasty.
"I'm just thinking that Shanxi merchants control the world's business and exchanges. If their homes are confiscated, will it affect the entire Ming Dynasty? Will it shake the foundation of the country?"
He still had such a plan in mind.
The most important point is that Shanxi merchants are relatively powerful and involve officials in the DPRK. This is also what he considers.
Otherwise, why did you deal with Cao Yu in the first place? Instead of continuing the investigation?
Just have this consideration!
"Have you wavered when dealing with a Shanxi merchant? Does it involve Sheji?"
When Hu Yunqing heard this, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes. This wise brother's vision was still too short-sighted. He poured the wine to himself and replied, "Ignore the rest for now, these people are the worms of the country! If the strong man cannot cut off his wrist, then when the time comes, Daming is actually in danger."
"Cousin, is this an exaggeration? Isn't it a bit alarmist?"
Chongzhen believed that his subordinates had the skills to control the entire Ming Dynasty.
