Hearing the movement and looking up to see this situation, Zhu Chunchen and his generals were stunned.

They never expected that one day they would encounter such a situation.

Zhu Chunchen was a little better, because when he saw the Jinyiwei lieutenant escorting them, he immediately thought that the thing he planned was exposed. Suddenly, his face turned pale and he could not face the consequences of the exposure.

And his generals were very unfair. They didn't understand what they had done, but they actually encountered the scene of ambushing the sword and axe driver in front of the emperor. Some of them even thought that they might be a little disrespectful to the emperor behind their backs and had a little unclear mouth, so how could they get such treatment?

Before they could make an explanation, they were caught by the Jinyiwei Captain who was being rushed up to deal with one of them. They cut their hands and grabbed them.

"Your Majesty, it's wrong, it's wrong!" Zhu Chunchen subconsciously shouted, "What crime did you commit? Do you want to treat me like this? Your Majesty..."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he sneered and looked at the Minister of Justice.

When Liu Zhifeng heard this, he unfolded the thing he had prepared and started reading it on the spot.

This thing is naturally the confession of Li Zushu and others.

Zhu Chunchen just heard the beginning and knew that everything was exposed. Even if he was Zhu Neng’s descendant and hereditary Duke, it would be useless. Because it was a serious crime of treason. At this moment, he suddenly regretted it very much. If he had known this, he would have considered losing money and disasters. Why would he pay for his life and titles passed down by his ancestors?

After reading it, Zhu Chunchen did not need to distinguish it, so he was taken away by the Jinyiwei School Captain and was sent to the Jinyiwei Edict Prison.

Then, a series of actions began.

First, dispatch the Jinyiwei personal army to enter the Beijing camp to control the army.

The personal army of the Jinyiwei here does not refer to the Beizhenfusi, but to the army of the Jinyiwei. After being rectified by Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyiwei, although this personal army of the Jinyiwei was unable to go to the battlefield to fight against Jianlu, there was no problem in controlling the Jingying camp when all the generals who commanded the Jingying camp were arrested.

In the palace, Cao Huachun took the Dongchang mansion to block the palace gate and began to arrest people who had contacted the palace privately with the outside world. Of course, there was still control here, and no one who had an affair outside the palace was arrested. Because in that case, the attack would be greater and it would likely cause everyone in the capital to be in danger, resulting in some unexpected situations.

Therefore, after arresting several people in the designated area in advance, Cao Huachun announced that the arrest was completed and the troops were withdrawn.

But he had no rest, and immediately led a large number of Dongchang men to the Duke Chengguo's mansion to search the house and arrest people. Of course, Li Zushu, the Marquis of Linhuai, was indispensable.

For a moment, the sound of horse hooves in the streets were heard from time to time, and teams of soldiers ran and appeared from time to time.

The martial law, which was originally relatively relaxed, suddenly became very strict, and the atmosphere in the capital suddenly became tense.

In the former Wuqing Marquis Mansion, the royal relatives and nobles took the place to the teahouse on the spot. While eating and drinking the things they brought, they were still "indignant" in Li Guorui's experience. When they were talking about their enthusiasm, servants came to report the situation on the streets outside.

When they heard such a large formation, these nobles who were only good at talking were suddenly a little scared. On the premise that they couldn't figure out what the situation was, they all restrained themselves a lot.

Soon, the specific news came back.

"The Marquis of Wuqing sold pots and pans and crocks and crocks and crocks and crocks were encouraged by the Marquis of Linhuai!"

"Wu Qing Hou hanged himself, but it was Linhuai Hou who lied to him, and Linhuai Hou killed him!"

"The Marquis of Linhuai colluded with Pan Yanliang, the supervisor of Shangshen Supervision in the palace, to try to poison the fifth son of the emperor, kill the fifth son, and then sued the emperor in the name of Empress Xiaoding."

"Behind the Marquis of Linhuai, is actually the Princess Envoy of Chengguo!"

“…”

These news are more shocking than the other. At the beginning, most nobles didn’t believe it. This was a serious crime of treason and a shocking case. Do you have the courage to do it?

However, there were already brigade of Jinyiwei and Dongchang men outside who were arresting people and searching their homes. This is a fact.

The last thing that gave them a fatal blow was that when Mrs. Li Guorui heard the news, she suddenly realized and immediately confirmed to the nobles present that the queen had summoned her to the palace to persuade her, so her master was preparing to pay the money. However, it was Li Zushu who instigated her master, which was what her master said in person, and there would be no mistake.

Also, there are many doubts about her master hanging himself.

Under the watch of the nobles, the more likely Mrs. Li Guorui was crying and telling the situation at the beginning. As long as she was not a fool, she could hear that Li Guorui's death would definitely not have anything to do with Li Zushu.

So, as soon as these things were linked, these nobles suddenly realized that they seemed to have been fooled by those two people and were using guns.

If the major case of rebellion behind this has not been revealed, maybe these nobles will be willing to be gunmen. After all, if everyone starts to make trouble, they may be spared from the disaster of financial loss in the future.

But now it’s different. You may be involved in a major case of rebellion. Who has the courage to get involved?

So they immediately scattered birds and beasts. The Yuan Wuqing Marquis Mansion, which was very lively just now, suddenly became deserted. After these nobles returned, they tried every means to prove that they were not from the same group as Li Zushu, Zhu Chunchen and others, and they all separated their relationship.

With such a big momentum, there is another thing that has attracted the attention of many people.

It was Fan Ji Money House, who was suddenly seized by Dongchang's fan. The reason was that Dongchang found out in this incident that it was not only Li Zushu, but Zhu Chunchen colluded with the palace, but also Fan Yongzheng, the shopkeeper of Fan Ji Money House, also had a serious crime. He actually chose to send a rootless person to the palace to be an eunuch, providing them with financial support and conspiring to make a fool.

Originally, this kind of peeping into the inner palace was a very serious crime on the surface. However, the Dongchang also announced that it also mentioned that Fan Yongzheng used eunuchs in the palace to make trouble or spy on news. For example, Fan Yongzheng asked his people in the palace to fan the flames everywhere, saying that Lu Xiangsheng's crimes should be damned.

If you peek and collude with the inner palace, you may not be convinced in private, but if you put it on the surface, it is a serious crime, not to mention the cause of trouble.

Those who had shares in Fanji Money House cursed them all. They were so careless that they were also hurt. Not only did they lose their shares, they also tried their best to explain that this matter had nothing to do with them.

However, at most they lamented that Fanji Money House was really unlucky, so why was it accidentally found out in the case of rebellion? Apart from that, they never thought that Emperor Chongzhen would have already set his sights on Fanji Money House because of other things.

In Jiading Bo Mansion, Zhou Kui was hiding in the mansion while reading the books of sages and dealing with the inspections of people coming from the palace, but his heart was filled with pain in his heart that he had finally obtained 300,000 taels of silver. Sometimes, he even thought about what if he did it again, so as to avoid taking out so much money?

In his ears, you can often hear his son’s nagging. Why do you feel timid when you complain? Look, now that Li Guorui is dead, other nobles are in trouble. If you persist, you may not have to pay the money!

Zhou Kui also regretted this. However, this regret did not last much.

With such a big disturbance in the capital, even if he was confined to the mansion, he had heard about what was happening outside.

When he heard this news, his back spine was sweating coldly. Fortunately, he listened to his daughter, otherwise he would not know how he would end!

He thought that Li Guorui was deceived to death by Li Zushu, but his death was actually not high. If Li Zushu targeted him and killed him, the emperor would be under great pressure! If he was still obsessed with ghosts, he might be targeted.

Even if it is not like this, if you don’t listen to your daughter, you will not be able to escape suspicion when the incident breaks out. In this way, what my daughter said at that time, the emperor should not talk about him for the sake of the country. Even the queen and the prince would not be able to surpass the country. What is the consequence? It is really dangerous!

Thinking of these things, Zhou Kui was justified when he saw his son again and said bluntly that if he hadn't been wise and quick to see the opportunity, and would he still predict the consequences after listening to his daughter? Anyway, Balabara spoke, and his son had also settled a lot.

In the palace, after Concubine Tian learned about this, she almost frightened to death. Immediately, she personally checked everything about her son’s food and food. She also asked to see Emperor Chongzhen, but she didn’t know what to say for a while, but she was very excited.

Even Queen Zhou was scared to death after hearing this. The target of the murder of the people outside this time was Concubine Tian’s son; if there was a next time, would he focus on her son?

Thinking of this, she was afraid and didn't dare to think about it. She was really not afraid of ten thousand, but she was afraid of it.

So, under this background, the palaces felt unsafe and began to sort out the people in their palaces. The intensity of the sorting was much stricter than the previous emperor's request. For a moment, many people were scared and voluntarily joined the deported army.

In and outside the palace, the whole thing is tense and orderly. Even if the house search outside the palace is being raided, it can be said that it is carried out within a certain range, and there is no tendency to expand, and it is also being carried out in a tense and orderly manner.

Although the results have been harvested and have not finally come out, Emperor Chongzhen won not lose any results from what he has learned so far. At least he has 700,000 taels of silver on hand, and the other two companies will only be more seized than this.

There is also a very large amount of money in the bank treasury in Fanji Money House. Although some people may report to the court that his family deposited the bank, no matter what, as a money house, the capital is absolutely indispensable. People with gray income dare not speak to the court. In short, this time, this time, this trouble is faster than the three-money salary. There is also the fat sheep from the Shanxi merchant, which is even more amazing.

Although these incomes are not sustainable, at least they can survive the current difficulties of shortage of money and put many things on a healthy track.

For example, with so much principal deposit in the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty, the promotion of the banknotes will be much more confident. It would be fine to let them return all the banknotes to return the banknotes.

This time, they exchanged all the one million taels of silver, but, if it's okay, they can exchange it.

Next time, they will exchange it for another one million, or even two million taels, and they will exchange it all? It’s okay, so continue to exchange it for it.

As long as you pass the money, you will issue all the banknotes and let them exchange them. When this happens, you will have confidence in the banknotes issued by the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the convenience and benefits of using paper money are incomparable to physical currency. Of course, at the beginning, don’t say anything about the Ming Dynasty treasure bank, but silver bills! The silver bills issued by Fanji Money House can be popular all over the place. Could it be that the strength of the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty cannot even establish this confidence? Emperor Chongzhen did not believe this.

In addition, Emperor Chongzhen was preparing to wait for the search results to come out. After the reorganization of the army under the Imperial Horse Supervision Army was completed, he continued to take this opportunity to beat the nobles. However, at this time, his focus began to shift outside the capital.

Soon, several decrees were sent out.

The Qin soldiers, including Lu Xiangsheng's troops, had retreated outside Jinzhou City at this time and camped and rested against the Jinzhou City Wall.

As stated in the report of the victory, although this time it was a great victory, the casualties of oneself were quite large, which had some impact on morale.

At this time, the Ming army was like a person who had been holding his breath, and at this time, he was already depressed.

Emperor Chongzhen's inspection outside the capital was like a chicken blood for the Qin soldiers. After the siege, blocking, and encirclement and annihilation battle, the effect was almost gone.

Most of the Qin soldiers thought that they had tried their best. After all, there was no such great victory as theirs in the war against the enemy! They should be able to enter the capital and become the imperial guards of the emperor. In this way, why bother to fight to the death?

In addition, they also have doubts. What will the court react to this great victory? If the alive ones can join the Emperor's Imperial Army, it will be worth it. But what about those who are disabled? And those who died in battle? They have no chance to join the Emperor's Imperial Army. If the imperial court's rewards this time are still as pitiful as before, who will be willing to fight to the death in the future?

This kind of idea is not only the lower-level soldiers, but also the commander-in-chief, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting. They are also concerned about what the court's attitude is about their documents on reporting victory? They are basically aware of the various thoughts of the civil servants in the court, so they are a little pessimistic.

Among them, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting had another concern, that is, they didn’t know what the emperor viewed the previous siege battle? This was related to their personal future.

Based on previous experience, no matter whether it is the lower-level soldiers or the generals in command, they do not express any optimism. Instead, they guessed in their hearts how much victory will be discounted by the court? Will it make them feel cold?

Even Lu Xiangsheng couldn't guarantee this matter. After all, he had already received 300,000 taels of silver before. This was the silver that the emperor had established his authority and tried his best to get. This silver was not easy. Where can the emperor collect silver from now?

At least for Lu Xiangsheng, he could not think of it. Therefore, he was pessimistic.

As time passed, the court's reaction was delayed, which made the whole army more and more pessimistic. After all, the court's lack of money is well known. This means, take care of yourself and don't be disabled or die, which is really a big loss!

This means that the Ming army has worries, so how can they fight against the enemy? This is also an important reason why there has been no war recently and has been resting.

Lu Xiangsheng was determined to continue killing the enemy, but he didn't have strong soldiers in his hands. It was hard for a skilled woman to cook without rice, and he had no choice! Command the Qin soldiers? He had just won a big victory, and when the court responded, he could not urge them to continue fighting!

In this case, Lu Xiangsheng had to wait for news from the capital. At the same time, the only thing he could do was to continue to send Ye Wu to inquire about the news of Jianlu. Not only Yue Tuo, Du Du's troops, but also Dorgon, Haoge and other troops southwards.
