Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 340 Moths everywhere!

"Chen... Li Banghua, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Li Banghua, who walked into Dongnuan Pavilion, looked solemn after seeing Emperor Chongzhen, and bowed his hands.

Seeing Li Banghua, who always paid attention to his appearance, looking so embarrassed, Emperor Chongzhen guessed in his heart that the case of collaborating with the enemy that he was asked to supervise would probably be muddy when he pulled out the carrot.

"Excuse me soon."

Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand and said, "Come here, give Li Qing a seat and pour tea."

"Your Majesty, no need!"

Li Banghua raised his head, his eyes were firm, and under the gaze of Emperor Chongzhen, he actually knelt down and said solemnly: "Your Majesty... I have something important to report, please stand back!"

"Go back."

Emperor Chongzhen raised his eyebrows upside down, looked at Li Banghua, and said coldly, the eunuchs and eunuchs headed by Han Zanzhou hurriedly retreated out of the palace with their heads bowed.

"Let's talk, is something wrong in Taiyuan Mansion, or something happened in Shanxi."

Emperor Chongzhen stood up, walked slowly towards Li Banghua, and said calmly: "I want to listen to the truth and report all the facts I have found out."

After saying that, Emperor Chongzhen bent down and pulled Li Banghua up.

"Your Majesty! Since I was ordered to supervise the case of collusion with the enemy, I went to Xuanfu Town with Liu Hongxun first, and then to Taiyuan Mansion, during which I interrogated all the people involved in the case."

Li Banghua couldn't hide his excitement, he frowned and said: "Over there in Xuanfu Town, the main collusion with the eight thieves is the generals in charge of the troops.

But when it comes to the Taiyuan Mansion, the problem becomes more complicated, and there are even various signs that the Jin Fan of the old Fan Taiyuan is also involved..."

Li Banghua spoke emotionally, and Emperor Chongzhen listened calmly.

It’s just that Emperor Chongzhen didn’t expect that the action he planned to eradicate the eight thieves was intended to deal with the traitors and lackeys in the Ming Dynasty, to cut off one arm of the Jianlu Eight Banners, and to improve the loopholes in the economic sanctions against Jianlu. It has produced a strong influence and waves.

"According to what you said... the reason why the eight thieves headed by the Fan family have been in the border area these years can be so bold and reckless."

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Li Banghua with a stern expression, and said, "Actually, behind them, there are still a bunch of house thieves hiding, and Zongfan is even involved?
In fact, in the past few years, when the money and food allocated by the Guochao passed through Shanxi, a lot of it was intercepted by the prefectures and counties involved, but no one reported these things to the Ming Guochao? "

The bandit uprising that ravaged the Shanshan and Shaanxi areas officially broke out in the first year of Chongzhen, and it has been more than three years since then, but the earliest incident of the bandit uprising can be traced back to the reign of Tianqi.

At that time, in Shanxi and Shaanxi, there were either snowstorms, droughts, or earthquakes. This series of natural disasters, coupled with the apportioned Liao salaries, etc., made the people under the rule extremely burdened.

This led to sharp class conflicts between Shanxi and Shaanxi. The people of Ming Dynasty would never rebel unless there was no other way to survive.

But once you speak of rebellion, the power that will erupt will be unimaginable.

You're fucking starving to death, whether you're fucking orthodox or not!

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Banghua looked a little haggard, nodded and said: "Although I have gone to Taiyuan Mansion, I have not gone to other prefectures and counties in Shanxi, but regarding the situation of Taiyuan Mansion, I have found many problems.

Under the rule of the Taiyuan Mansion, there are evil officials everywhere, evil gentry who oppress the people, even..."

As he was talking, Li Banghua couldn't continue talking. Whenever he thought of what he saw and heard in Taiyuan Mansion, Li Banghua's heart was extremely sad.

When the country was under threat, they wanted to put down the rebellion of bandits, so that Shanshan and Shaanxi could restore order as soon as possible, and even allocated a large amount of money and food.

However, in the past few years of suppressing and exterminating various gangsters, not only the momentum of the gangsters' rebellion has not been suppressed, but has intensified on the contrary.

"Fortunately, I sent Cao Huachun to Shanxi to supervise the collaborating with the enemy, and Liu Hongxun to accompany him. Otherwise, Li Banghua would not have made such a decision based on Li Banghua's temperament. '

Seeing the change in Li Banghua's demeanor at this moment, Emperor Chongzhen secretly said in his heart that he knew better than anyone else about the corruption of officials in the Ming Dynasty.

The formation of this situation was caused by years of party struggles, especially in the Tianqi Dynasty, when his brother, intentionally or unintentionally, asked Wei Zhongxian to take control of the power, and in the outer dynasty Luo weaved the eunuch party (the remnant forces of the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang parties), Step by step to defeat the Donglin Party and control Chao Gang.

"Cao Huachun and Liu Hongxun are still staying in Taiyuan Mansion?"

Emperor Chongzhen calmed down, looked at Li Banghua and asked, "Li Qing, before you return to Beijing, what do you guys think about this matter?"

Although the planning and deployment of Emperor Chongzhen was based on the court and Beizhili, but when dealing with areas outside this scope, if something big happened, then he would definitely use the thunder to eradicate a group of corrupt officials Ruinous officials and house thieves are big rats.

The name of indiscriminate killing cannot be given.

But Emperor Chongzhen would not hesitate to kill corrupt officials with righteousness.

"The ministers and others... all know that this matter is of great importance."

Li Banghua stabilized his mood, bowed and saluted and said: "If the officialdom in Shanxi is not rectified and the situation is allowed to deteriorate, it will definitely affect the suppression of the rebels and rebellions after the Kingdom Dynasty.

But if we decide to rectify the officialdom in Shanxi, it will definitely affect the situation in Shanxi and Shanxi. If the raging bandits take advantage of the loopholes, I am afraid that the country will be in..."

As he was talking, Li Banghua couldn't continue talking. He had never experienced such a thing before. The fault was not because he was ordered to supervise the case of collaborating with the enemy. Li Banghua never thought that Shanxi would have such a serious problem.

'This is for me to decide. '

Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Li Banghua, and thought secretly: "I didn't expect that there would be such a dilemma in Shanxi."

If there were no bandits rebelling, then according to Li Banghua's temperament, they would definitely continue to investigate, but the crux of the problem now is that internal troubles have arisen, and external troubles have not yet been resolved.

If it is not handled properly, there will be even greater chaos in the Shanshan area. This decision is really not a good choice for them. '

Daming in the Chongzhen Dynasty was in a period of outbreaks of various accumulations of conflicts, one problem after another, often bursting out in clusters.

If one is not handled properly, it will cause a chain reaction.

"I know about this."

Emperor Chongzhen looked calmly, looked at Li Banghua and said: "I still have some government officials to deal with. Li Qing has been exhausted all the way, and he rushed back to the capital from Shanxi. Let's go back and rest for a while, and write another memorandum, clearly stating the details of this trip." What you see and hear, submit it to the imperial court.

When I think it over, I will call Li Qing to start the follow-up. "

"His Majesty……"

Li Banghua was stunned. He didn't expect that after the Son of Heaven knew about this, instead of being angry, he acted so calmly, which was beyond his original expectation.
