Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

In the Yilun Hall of the Imperial College.

Huang Zongxi and Zhang Huangyan unanimously demanded that Fang Yizhi and other scholars should be controlled first, and it would not be too late to release them after they were screened.

In a word, rather catch the wrong one than let it go.

Gao Qiqian next to him was dumbfounded.

I wonder why these scholars are like this?

On the surface, he is friendly, but he is merciless when he is behind the scenes?
Or, Huang Zongxi and Zhang Huangyan are just acting, deliberately pretending to be a cruel official in front of Long Live God?
Chongzhen shook his head and said: "Huang Xiaozi, Henry Zhang, have you ever thought that the scholars on the list will be arrested because they drank with Chen Zhenhui, so should those scholars who have drank with Chen Zhenhui before be arrested?"

"Of course we have to arrest him." Zhang panic said, "After the investigation is clear, just return him innocent."

"How do you restore his innocence? Once you enter the big prison of your secret investigation department, it's like white paper stained with ink, how do you wash it?" Chongzhen said quietly, "You must know that evil words hurt people in June Han, let alone staying in a big prison. "

After a pause, he continued: "The vast majority of scholars and Chen Zhenhui may only have normal contacts, and nothing else is involved at all. If they are arrested just because they had a drink with Chen Zhenhui, how many scholars will be chilled from now on? It is very easy to chill one's heart, but it is difficult to warm one's heart."

In fact, there is another sentence that Chongzhen did not say.

"My lord, not long ago there was a sudden rumor in Nanjing that Jiannu had bought a large number of Prince Qin's sons through Chen Zhenhui. After learning about it, the sage was furious, and he ordered the Secret Investigation Division and the Supervision Division to investigate thoroughly. If a big prison is to be raised, there will be hundreds of scholars and their family members who will be killed."

Generally speaking, only when the government of a group or country has been corrupted to a certain extent does it require a campaign-style rectification. This campaign-style rectification may cause many unjust, false and wrong cases, but the overall effect is excellent.

"No time." Fang Yizhi took a sip of Mingjiu and said vaguely, "I have to go back to work quickly after eating. I really can't delay the matter of Gewuke for a moment."

"The minister has to take a step first, and leave." Fang Yizhi turned around and left after speaking.

There was already an irrepressible smile at the corner of Chongzhen's mouth: "It's just that you don't have to worry, it's just a fool's dream to try to deceive me with such small tricks. How can I be suspicious just because you and Chen Zhenhui have had a few drinks? Hou Fangyu It is really naive for Chen Zhenhui and Chen Zhenhui to use such inferior means to alienate the relationship between Qing and my monarchs and ministers."

But if one kills another, then the officials killed must be killed.

"Look at what you said, it's right to have a banquet, but you can't be so anxious, you have to wait for the Holy One to move the chopsticks first."

Before coming here, both of them were worried, lest they be imprisoned by Chongzhen.

But the son of King Qin would never come to this point, and Chongzhen believed that it was far from the point of doing so.

Especially Yuan Fuzhong and Feng Guofan, they almost wanted to jump up and run away.

"Brother Meng." Yuan Fuzhong asked in a low voice, "What did the Holy Majesty tell you?"

It's too much, the emperor hasn't moved his chopsticks yet, but he is the first to eat.

"It's not so easy to fish in troubled waters under my nose." After a pause, Chongzhen said again, "Decree, immediately summon all the princes of Qin on the list to come to Yilun Hall."

Fang Yizhi and Chongzhen sat at the same table, and Chongzhen was still standing and talking.

Gao Qiqian answered yes, and immediately went out to lead a spy from the secret investigation department into Yilun hall.

With this judgment, the purpose of handling this incident is basically determined-discuss the facts as they are, and never expand them!

"The saint is here." Accompanied by Gao Qiqian's sharp and high-pitched chant, Chongzhen strode in with Meng Xueli.

Huang Zongxi said: "If it is not clarified, even if it is not thoroughly investigated, it will still chill people's hearts."

"Thank you, Lord Long En." All the scholars thanked in unison.

Chongzhen shook his head, sat down and looked at it but was dumbfounded, Wucao, where is my favorite braised pork?
……

When Fang Yizhi was the last one to enter the Yilun Hall, he saw that fifteen Eight Immortals tables had already been set up in the hall, and each Eight Immortals table was full of scholars.

"Almost no one knows." Zhang Huangyan said without hesitation, "Because he was arrested at night, and Meng Xueli rented in Qingshui Lane alone, and his wife and children are not in Nanjing."

Chongzhen glanced at Zhang Huangyan and said, "There must be some urgent business, let him in quickly."

Chongzhen never believed that this newborn party would experience large-scale corruption or rebellion in such a short period of time, because this completely violated objective laws.

If you regard Qin Wang Shizi as a party, this party has only been established for four years, and it is the most vigorous stage. Party members at this stage will only sacrifice their lives to practice their ideals.

For example, those officials of the Sixth Ministry stand in a row and beheaded, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes.

"If I don't pay, not only my life will be lost, but my wife and children will also be lost."

Huang Zongxi's Zhang Huangyan was slightly moved when he heard the words.

Hearing this, Feng Guofan and Yuan Fuzhong couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

Chongzhen said again: "I held a banquet in Yilun Hall today. First, because I haven't had a banquet with Qing for a long time, and I miss you very much. Second, I want to tell you not to care about the rumors in the market. Your trust is still the same, and you will never be suspicious because of the alienation of the enemy's spies."

Zhang Huang said: "In this way, the case will not be easily investigated, and the investigation will chill people's hearts."

Seeing that Chongzhen was opposed to large-scale screening, Zhang Huangyan and Huang Zongxi stopped talking. In fact, they didn't want to do it, but their positions as envoys forced them to express their views.

Gao Qiqian really wanted to give Fang Yizhi a thumbs up, he said in his heart that this person really understands the Long Live Lord, and the Long Live Lord hates red tape, and there is no such thing as banquet etiquette. It is the greatest courtesy, the greatest loyalty, everything else is nonsense and useless.

Hearing this, many people suddenly changed their faces.

Only Fang Yizhi looked calm, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat.

"Can I not pay?" Meng Xueli said angrily.

Zhang Huang said: "Your Majesty, are Meng Xueli, Feng Guofan and Yuan Fuzhong also summoned together?"

Chongzhen immediately made a decision: "In this way, immediately bring Meng Xueli to Yilun Hall in secret. I want to see him first. As for Feng Guofan and Yuan Fuzhong, I will summon them together later, and then let the Zuixian Tower be ready for fifteen years." The table is waiting for the table to be sent to Yilun Hall as soon as possible, and I want to invite the scholars on the list to have a good drink with them."

Your Majesty is planning to let Meng Xueli act as a counterinsurgency?

"What a poisonous plan!" Huang Zongxi said sternly, "Hou Fangyu is trying to muddy the water."

"Brother Mi."

More than 100 scholars avoided the seat to see the ceremony, Chongzhen said and calmed down, and all the scholars returned to their seats one after another.

At noon, more than 100 scholars on the list came to Yilun hall one after another.

"The ministers will never forget their original intentions." Fang Yizhi responded loudly, and the rest of the scholars responded one after another, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic.

Fang Yizhi kept cupping and chopsticks, all of which fell into Chongzhen's eyes, but Chongzhen didn't see it.

Yuan Fuzhong and Feng Guofan gave Meng Xueli winks, but Meng Xueli shook his head slightly, not knowing what that meant?
After seeing the ceremony, Chongzhen did not hurry to sit, but took out a list and said: "Here is a list, and the names of Qing and others are all on it."

Including Meng Xueli who came in with Chongzhen, also walked to the table of Yuan Fuzhong and Feng Guofan and sat down.

Chongzhen smiled, and said: "I also hope that Qing and others will remain as they were when they were King Qin, and not forget their original aspirations."

After a pause, Meng Xueli continued: "I advise you two to hand over the stolen money as soon as possible. If you take the initiative to hand over the stolen money, you can get rid of the past, otherwise it will be embarrassing when the secret investigation department finds you."

"My sage, my sage." Fang Yizhi immediately raised the wine jar.

While talking, Gao Qi sneaked in and reported: "Long Live Lord, people from the secret investigation department are asking to see you."

"What are you afraid of? The Holy Majesty has said that he invited us to a banquet. If we don't eat it, we will be disobeying the order."

Fang Yizhi wiped his mouth and got up: "My lord, is there anything else?"

But listening to Chongzhen's words, it seems that there is a meaning of not looking into the past?If this is the case, they will change their minds, cut off contact with Chen Zhenhui from now on, and do things for Daming in a down-to-earth manner. Of course, the premise is that they can't spit out the benefits.

Although the rectification effect of this exercise style is good, the side effects are also very serious.

Seeing Fang Yizhi coming in, many scholars stood up and bowed.

Fang Yizhi bowed to each other one by one, and was finally introduced to the first table to sit.

By going to the toilet, Yuan Fuzhong was finally able to be alone with Meng Xueli.

"Hahaha, okay, let's not get drunk today." Chongzhen said as he took his seat, and said, "Don't worry about getting drunk and delaying things. I have specially approved you to wait for a rest today. Today is a rest day!"

Both of them had already guessed Chongzhen's intentions.

"Have you handed it in?" Yuan Fuzhong asked again.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is not at this stage now, so there is absolutely no need for this.

"No more." Chongzhen nodded and said, "The only thing left is the banquet."

Chongzhen thought for a while and asked Zhang Huangyan: "How many people know about the arrest of Meng Xueli by the secret investigation department?"

……

All the scholars were stunned for a moment, and then raised the wine jar in their hands: "Shang Sheng Ming."

"What else can I say." Meng Xueli sighed softly, and said helplessly, "Hand over all the stolen money, and he can pretend nothing happened, otherwise he will be severely punished."

Ruan Dacheng, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help reminding in a low voice: "Brother Mi, Your Majesty hasn't moved his chopsticks yet."

But widespread censorship can really rob the fledgling party of its cohesion.

"Hand over, hand over, we will hand over when we get back." Yuan Fuzhong repeatedly agreed.

After wiping his butt in a hurry, Yuan Fu returned to the wine table and whispered a few words to Feng Guofan.

At that moment, Yuan Fuzhong and Feng Guofan came to bid farewell to Chongzhen, saying that there was an urgent matter to be dealt with.

Instead of doubting, Chongzhen comforted the two of them and asked the little eunuch to send them out.

After leaving the Yilun Hall, Yuan Fuzhong and Feng Guofan did not go back to the Propaganda Department and the Transportation Department to go to work, but went straight to the Shaanxi Guild Hall outside the Jinchuan Gate.
