Chapter 170 has one hundred and seventy chapters: the original form is revealed

Zheng Lun almost went crazy.

One’s family had fallen into the hands of the Brocade Guards, and it was entirely conceivable that it was going to be a disaster.

He knows …… better than anyone else Even if his own family can still live, these people are afraid that they are no longer in human form.

We all know very well the tactics of the Jinyiwei.

Zhang Anshi stood silently with an innocent look on his face.

But is he innocent?

No, he planned it all.

That the people hiding behind Chen Wenjun’s curtain are how shrewd, they can sneak so deep, it is clear that they are cautious.

Such a prudent person would only reveal himself just because Zhang Anshi arrested a few of Zheng Lun’s men?

That’s obviously not possible.

People aren’t stupid, so how can they not see that this could be a good show that people are putting on?

So …… if you really want to catch a big fish, you have to make this play realistic enough, so realistic that it is so fake that even the other side has to believe it.

Then …… the brocade guards in turn arrested Zheng Lun a few family members, followed by severe torture, that imperial prison head …… after all, many mouths, up and down so many lieutenants, it is impossible to completely do airtight.

And people Zheng Lun a few people …… even family members are dead a big half, is it possible that this may also be acting?

Every character in this one plan is essential.

Desperate to get back to the city of Ji Gang, if it is in the past, Ji Gang will not be too hasty, but now it is not the same, he was anxious, had to soldier on.

He was like the man who had fallen into the water and was desperate to grab a lifeline, so Zhang Anshi had predicted from the beginning that he would try to do everything he could to catch the man directly.

As for Zheng Lun several people …… are actually destined to be sacrificed from the beginning.

Of course, there’s something to be said for casting a few Dunlops.

So before that, what Zhang Anshi asked Zhu Jin to inquire about was which some ministers in the court had done something unforgivable in private.

Finally after screening, Zheng Lun several on the list, their reasons for being on the list are also very simple …… hand all have other people s blood debt.

Of course …… after everything is properly planned, the next has nothing to do with Zhang Anshi.

This is Ji Gang’s business. What does it have to do with him?

Ji Gang was at this point, but he only felt his head buzzing, he was completely confused.

After so many years of interest, and then after the setback, and eager to take credit, where do you think, the mantis catching the cicada, but the yellow bird in the back, but it was pitted to death.

He had absolutely no other choice at this point but to kowtow and confess.

Zhu Di coldly watched this, his heart actually surprised.

Who would have thought …… that …… would end up …… being the case?

Zhu Di pursed his lips, then faintly said, “Zheng Lun several ministers have labored hard, their loyalty, indeed the heavens and the sun can be seen.”

At this point, what else can be done? It can only be dealt with as if Zheng Lun a few cut meat and feed it to the tigers.

Even Yao Guangxiao couldn’t help but proclaim a low Buddhist cry in the middle of the class, “Amitabha Buddha, if I don’t go to hell, who will go to hell, good, good.”

Without receiving a single penny, he overtook the families of several of Zheng Lun’s people.

Zhu Di also said, “Zheng Qing’s family and other people have worked hard these days, come on people, please ask them to go down to rest to go.”

Zheng Lun was still cursing indignantly under his breath, “Ji Gang, I don’t share the same day with you, I don’t share the same day ……”

Several eunuchs had rushed in and dragged them out.

Only the yelling and cursing continued.

Zhu Di did not even bother to look at the kneeling Ji Gang, even if his eyes flickered slightly, what swept through those eyes was only with a surprising indifference.

After waiting for Deng Lun and others to go out, Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and said, “You came to the court and let me have a royal trial, just because …… you want me to know that this Zheng Lun a few, is not a rebellious party at all?”

“Of course it is not so.” Zhang Anshi said with a smile, “I asked Your Majesty for a royal trial because …… I predicted that the person behind that Chen Wenjun is above this courtroom.”

When these words came out, it was like dropping a bomb, and the hundred officials changed color violently.

Zhu Di sank his eyebrows, his gaze ghostly and quickly sweeping over the faces of each of the hundred officials before gazing at Zhang Anshi and saying, “You continue.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Judging from Chen Wenjun’s side, even this Ministry of War chief is actually just their pawns, which proves that there is at least one big person behind this. Moreover, this person …… seems to understand the situation in the dynasty very well, so I boldly predict that this person will be in the dynasty, which should not be excessive.”

“Since it has been established that this person is in the court, using Chen Wenjun as a pawn, and after Chen Wenjun has been captured, I have judged from many signs that this person actually did not act rashly. This then proves again that this should be someone who can grasp some of the movements of His Majesty and the Brocade Guards, and if we look at it this way, I would venture to predict that this person must be in a high position of power, and is also quite trusted by His Majesty.”

At these words, more people’s faces became a bit uncomfortable.

Everyone looked at each other and seemed to be getting scared, hell, they didn’t know if they were surrounded by some kind of rebellious party!

Zhu Di’s eyes became even more meaningful, he was surprisingly calm at this time and only said, “And then?”

“I play this play, in fact, is to paralyze the other side, precisely because the other side is very understanding of His Majesty and the brocade guards, the more the brocade guards lead not to send, the other side will not act rashly, but if …… when the other side knows …… the brocade guards and I want to check the direction of the wrong?”

Zhu Di seemed to be beginning to understand a little something, so he said, “If the other party notices that the Secretary and the Brocade Guards have made a mistake, he will definitely think that this is a heavenly opportunity, a good chance for him to cover up all the evidence.”

Zhang Anshi nodded his head and said, “That’s right, that’s why I took Zheng Lun and the others, in fact, I wanted to tell the other side that although Chen Wenjun was under our control, this Chen Wenjun was die hard and not only didn’t confess to any of the behind-the-scenes instigators, but instead, he was frantically climbing all over the innocent people. After the other party notices this, they will of course think that this is Chen Wenjun creating an opportunity for them.”

“Such a heavenly opportunity, if they don’t have any more moves, then it would really be a fool’s errand. Because they are clear that Chen Wenjun is still in our hands after all, and a pawn like Chen Wenjun may not know much, but as long as we surround Chen Wenjun, as long as there is enough time, we can definitely follow the trail and find out a little bit.”

Zhu nodded his head, this is the psychology of all those who are thieves, Chen Wenjun may know really not much, and this person is very stubborn, but after all, the people behind the scenes have used him for so long, and in the process of manipulating him, there will certainly be many clues and clues, which will inevitably make the people behind the scenes feel uneasy.

And once the Brocade Guards and Zhang Anshi started to ‘make mistakes’, it would indeed be the best time for them to hurry up and get rid of the gold.

Zhang Anshi then said: “So I took Zheng Lun and other people after, have been asking the Jin Yiwei and the money bank, shipping firms boatmen to pay attention to some of the unusual things in the capital, to know, many things …… once someone began to pay attention, then … … is if you want people do not know, unless they do not do, not coincidentally, I really found some.”

Zhang Anshi grinned as he spoke.

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Zhang Anshi, “What discovery?”

Zhang Anshi said, “The market is fluctuating ……”

“Market?” Zhu showed a few moments of surprise.

He also thought that Zhang Anshi …… really perceived something, but …… what is the relationship between this rebellious party and the market?

The hundred officials were also confused, so one by one they looked at Zhang Anshi in puzzlement, as if waiting for his answer.

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “In Zhenjiang …… someone came to report that the price of …… gold over Zhenjiang suddenly rose greatly.”

Zhu Di continued to stare at Zhang Anshi, still wrinkling his brows, he still couldn’t understand.

Zhang Anshi then patiently explained, “Your Majesty, the only reason for the price of gold to suddenly begin to rise dramatically in one place is that someone is selling off a large amount of silver or copper in their hands in exchange for gold.”

“Often at this time, because of the large amount of silver and coins for gold, the market began to appear a shortage of gold, this time, the price of gold will begin to fluctuate. Prices will start to show a conduction effect as the price of gold goes higher, for example, many merchants and businessmen in Nanjing City, hearing that gold is expensive over in Zhenjiang, will try to find ways to cash in a lot of gold from the capital to go to Zhenjiang to earn a price difference as well.”

“But the question is, why would someone …… suddenly acquire gold in large quantities? You know, this kind of acquisition will inevitably bring about a constant upward fluctuation in the price of gold, but we all know ……”

In fact, this hundred officials are still in a daze, and people don’t realize it.

Zhang Anshi said, “Such a large number of acquisition of gold, in fact, is a loss, because the large-scale acquisition, in fact, is the purchase of gold at a high price, this gold is valuable, but it is difficult to trade on the market, even if the transaction, but also need to be converted into silver, the acquisition of people …… is obviously a loss. ”

“Think about it, Your Majesty, what is the reason for someone suddenly going crazy and preferring to lose money and fold their capital to acquire gold? I’ll take a guess or two.”

He paused and continued, “After the incident, some people have already noticed that it is not safe, after Chen Wenjun was caught, they are a little apprehensive in their hearts, but at this time …… they know better than anyone else that they can not act rashly, and once they act rashly, something may have to happen. ”

“Until a few of Zheng Lun’s were captured, which made them realize that this was the best time to make a hasty retreat, especially after all these years of using the silver money used to plot against the government, which had to be moved in some way. But this wealth is too big after all, so much silver and copper to move, how many manpower needed? The movement is both large and requires more manpower, and the more manpower there is, the more people there may be, the less insurance there is.”

Think about it, a catty of this Damien is sixteen taels, a hundred taels of silver is seven or eight pounds, but if it’s a thousand taels of silver, it’s almost the weight of a man.

If it is a rebellion, the amount of silver required must be astronomical, 100,000, a million taels of silver is possible, if it is a million taels of grain silver, it would mean a full 70,000 to 80,000 pounds of weight, which is almost equivalent to emptying a mountain for this era.

“The only thing that gold does for these people is that it is much more expensive than silver, and it is easy to carry around relative to silver, and even if it is to be exchanged for silver in the future, it is extremely convenient. So …… they choose to exchange gold the reason why they chose to choose in Zhenjiang, because they people in the capital, Zhenjiang close to the capital, convenient for them to manipulate. In addition to that, there is also the fact that this Zhenjiang is a thoroughfare place with a well-developed water network, so silver money exchanged for gold can be transported away at any time.”

“What’s more, to them, these things will certainly not be noticed, but the unusual acquisition of gold, but these people …… are certainly all very clever, but they are just too rough and ready for the market movement.”

“I learned of the situation that occurred in Zhenjiang, has immediately ordered people to go to Zhenjiang, following the vine to find the melon, searching for the acquisition of gold people, as long as to find these acquisition of gold people, then …… the truth is not far away.”

Zhu Di listened carefully, a face of dawning realization attitude, said: “so …… these acquisition of gold people …… will not also and Chen Wenjun general, know nothing about this, but is being used as a pawn? ”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “Your Majesty, it’s impossible, these people are overly cautious, precisely because they are overly cautious, this involves a large amount of gold and silver, but it’s impossible to fake it out, only if the most beloved of the beloved, or the closest family member goes to handle it, they will feel at ease. What’s more, they don’t think it’s a dangerous thing to do, they only think it’s equivalent to making a sale.”

Chu’s eyes lit up.

I didn’t expect …… to bust this behind-the-scenes counterparty …… just because of the gold ……

Jin Yiwei all these years, to detect and torture to catch the so-called rebel party, the personnel continues to expand, but now think carefully, in fact, the effect is not ideal.

Maybe ten people were arrested, and a good chunk of them were innocent.

This Zhang Anshi’s method, however, is very fresh, this and other details that people ignore, it is really difficult to imagine that there will be any connection with the rebellious party.

None of the ministers seemed to notice that amongst the two classes of courtiers, an old man wearing a large red Chinchilla garment had a slight tremor in his frame.

At this time, Zhu Di said, “That Zhenjiang people …… took hold?”

Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty …… has taken hold, just last night, model battalion teaching, with a team of model army men and horses with the jinyiwei thousand Chen Li, personally go to take people.”

“Just in Zhenjiang’s Xijin ferry has been captured, overnight sent to the capital, I ask His Majesty to call the minister royal trial, in fact, is to want to this behind the scenes into the palace, others in the palace, is equal to be cut off from the news, what happened outside, he also knows nothing.”

Zhu Di scanned the ministers, can not help but mood heroic up: “It seems …… that the rebels are in my ministers. I just don’t know, he heard your words, at this time the heart will make what to think.”

Zhang Anshi was also happy: “Such a person’s dead nature is unchanging, even if the sky collapses, it should look as if it has nothing to do with him, many people are not able to see the coffin without shedding tears.”

Zhu nodded: “Is that crony of his …… now under interrogation?”

“Actually ……,” Zhang Anshi said, “there is no need to interrogate at all.”

“No need to interrogate?” Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi in surprise.

Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty, didn’t I say so? The person who went to acquire the gold must be the inner circle of the person behind the curtain, or else a close relative, if it is the inner circle, I am afraid that we have to try a trial, but if it is a close relative?”

Zhu Di is again a sudden realization, then eyes like a knife blade general in the group of ministers swept through, mouth said: “This person …… is which one of the dynasty secretary of the family’s next of kin?”

Zhang Anshi then said, “To this day, do you still want to be lucky? Come out, your nephew Lu Ruyi has been taken, do …… you still want to pretend to be completely unrelated to yourself?”

The ministers were in an uproar, you looked at me and I looked at you.

Zhu, on the other hand, was deadpan on every single one of the reactions.

Zhu Gaoqi heard that really took hold of the party, is also a big surprise, then, he could not help but music, his body obese, this music, but very much the charm of the Maitreya Buddha.

King Zhao Zhu Gao Suo had been observing his royal brother, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up with an otherworldly smile.

Here, it is still the same world where Ji Gang was injured, he still maintains his kneeling position, not daring to move a muscle, and when he heard that Zhang Anshi had caught the rebellious party, he only felt the blood in his body churning, and almost had a mouthful of old blood to be spewed out.

Who would have thought that he, the Commander of the Jinyiwei, would become someone else’s stepping stone?

Xie Jin’s face is extremely ugly, he can not wait for this rebel party never be found out, once found out, will not help the power of the ministers? Immediately get the world’s people, the future is not also involved in immediately rule the world?

This is not a blessing for the country, let alone the country.

Right in the middle of this chaos in the dynasty.

Finally, someone let out a long sigh, a sigh that seemed a bit out of place at the moment.

Then he saw the old man in the unicorn clothes, standing out slowly.

His face was still calm, but only between sighs, he couldn’t help but carry a few regrets.

At this point …… there is nothing to hide, if you do not come out, but just suffer more insults.

“What a smart kid, just because of the gold exchange, he was able to check out old me! This is something that old me couldn’t even imagine if I thought about it. The matter has come to this, and old me has to admire it.”

The crowd had looked at this old man in unison, and almost everyone revealed a look of shock.

Even Zhu Di was greatly shocked.

It is obvious …… that he can t imagine in any way that the so called rebellious party is this person.

Zhu Di’s eyes widened and he gritted his teeth, “It’s actually you?”

“It’s the old man ……” The old man sighed again, revealing a regretful look, “It’s really a pity that it’s not even as good as a doll. But things have come to this point, there is nothing to say, so you have to tie your hands.”

Zhu Di was obviously furious, and gasped, “I treat you well, why do you want to rebel?”

The old man raised his head and gave Zhu Di a strange look, then said: ”Hasn’t His Majesty also plotted a rebellion? His Majesty could rebel? Why can’t others rebel? His Majesty can be the son of heaven …… thought that others can also be the son of heaven.”

Zhu Di’s face became even more ugly, and his anger obviously grew even more furious.

The hall was suddenly quiet, and everyone was trembling.

Zhu Di laughed coldly, “I am the one who is Jingnian!”

The old man revealed a hint of a smile, which was tinged with a bit of mockery, and said, “His Majesty has become the Emperor, so of course whatever he wants to say is what he wants to say, plotting a rebellion or pacifying the nation, but what it boils down to is just a matter of success or failure.”

Zhu Di shouted, “Lu Zhen, you ……”

The old man was none other than Lu Zhen.

Minister of Rites.

Although it is not the most important person, but also definitely belongs to the figure that can grasp the key and the center.

The most important thing is that …… Zhu Di trusts him.

The reason why he trusted him was, on the one hand, that Lu Zhen was one of the first ministers to defect to Zhu Di during the Jingdi period, and that he was, by counting, truly meritorious from the dragon.

On the other hand, this person has always been flattering to Zhu Di, Zhu Di can be said to be obedient to his words, so that Zhu Di has a lot of goodwill towards him.

However, Lu Zhen was surprisingly calm at this moment, and although he still had a bitter look on his face after all, he did not lose his temper after all.

Zhu Di said, “You are already in the highest position, why do you want to take such a risk?”

Lu Zhen gazed at Zhu Di and said, “I have today, not from Your Majesty, it is the result of my own deliberate efforts ……”

After a pause, Lu Zhen then said, “Hongwu years when I was just a lifer, was awarded the official position, ordered to inspect the situation of the local acres of land, I did a good job, but also received praise, but …… ultimately, because of my lifer origin, so… … only bestowed the Shandong Press Prosecutor’s Office to try the Commander, enough after many years, only barely promoted to the Commander of the Beiping Press Prosecutor’s Office.”

He narrated, between words, as much as the color of regret, said: “in Jiangzhe inspection acres of fertile and barren situation, I can be said to be exhaustive, but even the Commander of the Beiping Press Prosecutor’s Office, also cost me a full three years of time.”

“After that, His Majesty wanted to plot a rebellion, I was in Beiping, of course I had to follow the dragon, I was risking my head to be killed, following Your Majesty, you were born to die, you asked me to stay in Beiping, and I was quite peaceful, but after that, what official position did you grant me? But what official position have you given me since then? It’s just the Governor of Zhending. My life was at stake, and I risked the execution of my family, but in the end I only got a governor.”

Zhu Di’s face became even more ugly.

And Lu Zhen continued: “In my thought, I am afraid that my life is to the end, then you have already arrived in Nanjing City, do the son of heaven, so not powerful, and I am in Zhending, the hall of merit, how miserable. But finally …… I am not willing, or want to do everything, up and down activities, finally let you think of me. So this is to enter the capital to serve as a young secretary of the Da Lisi, and then after that, ultimately because of everywhere to please you, which is considered to be full of merit, became the Secretary of the Ministry of Ceremonies.”

“You said that it’s because of you that I have today… That’s not true… I can have today because of myself.” Lu Zhen smiled bitterly.

Zhu Di looked at him viciously and said, “Don’t you know enough now?”

Lu Zhen shook his head bashfully and said, “It’s not that I don’t know enough, it’s just that I’ve gotten used to gambling.”

“Used to gambling?”

Lu Zhen said, “In the beginning, because of you, I was able to go from a small commander to this point today. But I know that here …… I have come to the end, if I still want to go further, or even become a prime minister, become a prince and marquis, but it is more difficult than climbing to the sky. Since you can plot against, while letting countless people chicken and dogs, then …… why others can not be against, let me further?”

“So you colluded with the Tartars?”

Lu Zhen did not deny or admit, but said, “The Tartars in your mouth, there is one good point, they are not like your Zhu family, they are cloth origin, and they think that they have succeeded the legal system, so they can be merciless to the ministers. If the Tartars enter the customs, at least they are very clear, they are unable to rule the miles of rivers and mountains, and there is no way to unify the tens of thousands of people, so …… they know how to decentralize the power, in the Daming, I can only be a minister, if in the Dayuan, many Han ministers, on the surface of the Tartar’s ministers, but in fact, but can be a one after another small emperor,. Maybe the official position is the same, but in fact …… the power in the hand, is incomparable.”

Zhu laughed, “You are truthful.”

Lu Zhen said, “By now, one can only be honest.”

Zhu Di said, “But the most stupid thing about you is that you even think that with you guys, you can shake my kingdom.”

Lu Zhen said, “When Qin Shi Huang and Sui Wen Di were around, no one thought that the Great Qin and Sui Dynasties would die in the second century, and today’s Daming, how many years? Under this sky, the dynasty that can really pass a hundred years, only a few, through the ages, the vast majority of the so-called countries, but only a few decades of longevity.”

“At first, your father, who has been in rebellion for decades, has long made the world full of grievances. After his death, you conspired against him, and the world is falling apart again, even today you ascend the throne, in fact, only a few years, who knows, after a few years, what will happen?”

Chu: “……”

Zhang Anshi: “……”

Zhang Anshi also seemed to have snapped out of it after hearing Lu Zhen’s words.

In fact, when he knew that it was Lu Zhen, Zhang Anshi’s first reaction was to think that this person was really stupid, not living a good life, preferring to make a demon, which was looking for death.

But now after listening to Lu Zhen’s words, Zhang Anshi abruptly realized that this was merely because he himself had been a man for two lifetimes, so he had an inherent notion.

He certainly knows that the Ming Dynasty has three hundred years of rivers and mountains, but in fact …… through the dynasties, I don t know how many regimes have come out, and the vast majority of them are indeed the second and third generations will die.

In his opinion, revolting in this era is looking for death.

But for many people in this world, they may feel that this time …… is precisely the best time to rebel.

Zhu Di still stared at him closely and said coldly, “When did you start colluding with the Tartars?”

“When I was in Beiping.” Lu Zhen said calmly, “When I was in Beiping, I was the Commander of the Commander of the Press and Inspection Department and was in charge of the mutual market.”

Zhu Di said, “So far …… which part of the Tartars have you contacted again?”

Lu Zhen said, “This is useless to talk about, just you should know, when your father could drive them out of the pass, because they were corrupted by the gentle land of the Central Plains, but now, they are outside the pass, restarted nomadic horse herding, and now one by one, they are fattening up their horses, and their vitality has been restored, and it won’t take long to bring up the troops to enter the pass. At that time, what will you be able to resist?”

Zhu Di face taut, obviously has been angry to the extreme, well at this time, he is instead calm, only ghostly said: “What about your accomplices, where are your accomplices?”

Lu Zhen raised his head and looked straight at Zhu Di, seemingly fearless, and said under his breath, “There are no accomplices; I’ll take the blame for all the crimes.”

“Can you afford it?” Zhu Di’s gaze sank as he sneered, “It seems Zhang Anshi was right, you’re not going to shed a tear until you see the coffin.”

Lu Zhen lowered his head at this point, but was speechless.

Still gathering fire in his eyes, Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and said, “I want him to open his mouth, is there a way?”

Zhang Anshi said, “Yes!”

The answer was categorical.
