Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 254 Judgment
Being an official in Ming Dynasty, one should keep a thread in everything and pay attention to one's personal feelings and sophistication. After all, people don't live in a vacuum, and the intricate web of interests can be entangled no matter what.

When building relationships and talking about interests became the norm in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't the chronic diseases of scheming, party unity and corruption, and official corruption become more and more serious?

"Master Sun, it is not my job to decide the case, so I will not get involved in this matter." Zhu Chunchen put down the teacup in his hand, smiled, and said to Sun Chuanting: "Sit in the hall and listen, or... "

"Mr. Cheng, you also saw it."

With a calm expression, Sun Chuanting interrupted: "The supervisor of ceremonies has sent people over many times to convey His Majesty's oral instructions, and even the eunuch Wang who served His Majesty came here in person.

The public opinion between the ruling and opposition parties paid more attention to this matter. If they did not violate the law and discipline, then the official would definitely not make a wrong judgment.

The key involved so many levels, and with Cheng Guogong sitting next to him, I have some confidence in my heart. If Cheng Guogong doesn't want to get involved in this matter, then I have to go to the inner court to ask for an order. "

"..."

Zhu Chunchen reached out his hand to say something, but the words came to his lips, but he couldn't say anything. Sun Chuanting's attitude made him understand that those who were afraid of being arrested in Shuntian Mansion Prison, including the previous group of tax-resisting merchants, would It will not end well.

If it is just to support the British lineage and promote the matter of one family and two titles, Zhu Chunchen is not under any pressure. After all, the British lineage can accomplish things, and other relatives are not hopeless.

However, this time Jinyiwei, Shenshuying, and Zhongyongjun concentrated on arresting all the houses of the Li family, as well as many officials and gentry, which involved other levels.

More importantly, many people headed by Li Ruzhen were imprisoned. Whether they were involved in the ongoing Yuan case is anyone's guess.

The political situation in the late Ming Dynasty has always been complicated and diverse. Often, a disturbance will be involved in other things, and the carrots will often be pulled out to bring out the mud.

Seeing that Zhu Chunchen was deep in thought, Sun Chuanting's eyes flashed brightly, but he secretly said in his heart that His Majesty had been secretly investigating the matter of Chongwenmen's tax resistance.

Zhu Chunchen's current reaction must have been someone looking for him in private, maybe the person who was arrested twice in the prison of Shuntian Mansion involved his relatives in Jing Xun.

As far as the current court situation is turbulent, His Majesty has pushed the relationship between ministers and relatives into opposites, but His Majesty really gave me a big problem this time.

In fact, Zhu Chunchen felt that the matter was difficult and didn't want to get involved too much, but for Sun Chuanting, why didn't he think this way?

Although Sun Chuanting was reused and trusted by Emperor Chongzhen, and was appointed as Shuntian Fu Yin when the country was in turmoil and Jianlu invaded Ming Dynasty, he did not live in a vacuum after all.

Since the turmoil broke out, many letters and requests for remonstrance have been sent to the Shuntian government office, but as more information has been learned, Sun Chuanting has become more stable.

Zhu Chunchen, who was appointed by Emperor Chongzhen to sit in the auditorium, didn't think he could escape. He even brought in the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion on the grounds of lack of manpower.

If you really want to do something practical in Daming, you must judge the situation and not concentrate all the pressure on yourself, otherwise the counterattack formed will be overwhelming!
"Duke Cheng...Duke Cheng?"

Sun Chuanting stood up, looked at Zhu Chunchen and said, "Right now, Jinyiwei, Shenshuying and other departments are handing over the suspect to Shuntian Mansion prison.

Before the trial, let's interrogate a few main suspects, and combine the crimes confessed by the merchants who have been tried before. "

Ups and downs have been in the officialdom for many years, but all officials with some political sense know the role of merchants, those who can become bigger and stronger, and those who can have some family background, most of them have backers.

If the case is to be approved as soon as possible, the key is how to connect the first batch of arrested merchants with the second batch of arrested business gentry from the perspective of evidence.

Before starting to deal with the case, Sun Chuanting had to order by Emperor Chongzhen that the case should not be expanded, but should be concentrated on those who were arrested in the Shuntian Mansion Prison.

People such as Li Ruzhen who were imprisoned in Jinyiwei Prison do not need to be investigated too deeply. This also made Sun Chuanting understand that the emperor still has important plans behind him.

"Okay, let's go now."

Zhu Chunchen let out a soft cry, stood up, and said to Sun Chuanting: "However, Mr. Sun, do you know that Li Ruzhen and others who were arrested in Jinyiwei Imperial Prison have left the Imperial Prison... If it is on the side of the Shuntian Government Office, there will be a lot of trouble involved during the trial." When we see them, what should I do?"

When talking about this, Zhu Chunchen carefully observed the changes in Sun Chuanting's expression, for fear of missing something, and this matter was also something he was puzzled about.

A few people, headed by Li Ruzhen, were all arrested and sent to Jinyiwei Prison, but within half an hour, they were taken away by the people from the Big Expert Factory, and no one knew exactly where they were taken.

Like these things, not many people know the inside story.

"I don't know about this matter."

Sun Chuanting lifted the sleeves of his robe and said: "If Li Ruzhen and the others are really involved, let's temporarily put aside the matter related to them and preside over the group of people arrested in Shuntian Mansion Prison.

Cheng Guogong, do you know any of these people? "

"Cough cough~"

Zhu Chunchen coughed twice, showed a wry smile, and said, "Master Sun, you really know how to joke, how could I know them?"

One thing Sun Chuanting really expected was that Zhu Chunchen really knew the person who was arrested in the prison of Shuntian Mansion, and the private salt business he did was an income of Cheng Guogong Mansion.

However, Zhu Chunchen was extremely cautious in doing things. He found another person, another person, and used layers of matching methods to seek benefits.

In this way, even if the outermost one is caught, he will not be involved.

Zhu Chunchen has a clear grasp of any business that earns a lot of money, no matter what level of relationship it is, so as to prevent his own interests from being damaged.

"Duke Cheng, if someone comes to the Shuntian Mansion during this preliminary trial, then please trouble Duke Cheng to explain one or two for me."

Sun Chuanting pretended not to know, and said with a slight smile: "Duke Cheng also knows that His Majesty attaches great importance to this case, after all, it involves the Chongwenmen tax customs.

If the case is raised lightly, how can I let the law and discipline go?
Through His Majesty's dispatch of Jinyiwei, Shenshuying, and Zhongyongjun, Cheng Guogong is also aware of his interests. If the case can be finalized as soon as possible, I will definitely submit a memorial to His Majesty at that time, stating that when the case is judged, Cheng Guogong will be the country's leader. Worrying about the court is a manifestation of His Majesty's worrying. "

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Zhu Chunchen said with a chuckle: "It's all for His Majesty's loyalty, but if it is useful to get my lord, Sun Fuyin can just say it."
