Sun Zhong?

Chen Yichen was really surprised to hear Yang Hongze say this name.

He still had a good impression of Sun Zhong. When the Imperial College Priest Li Shimian was wronged by Wang Zhen to punish the school. Chen Yichen led the Imperial College Priest to complain about the injustice. Sun Zhong, the Huichang Bo, helped him say a few good words in front of the empress dowager, and finally Wang Zhen's compromise and retreat.

Now Yang Hongze said that Sun Zhong hoarded rice and grain and wanted to raise the grain price, which was equivalent to subverting Chen Yichen's impression.

"Do you have evidence?"

"Will I talk nonsense without evidence?"

Yang Hongze replied with some sarcastic remarks, although he was willing to participate in food shortages and famines from the perspective of a farmer, it does not mean that there is any possibility of reconciliation between the two sides.

Chen Yichen's doubts were simply a humiliation to himself.

"Do you know that in the eleventh year of Zhengtong, Han Xing, a slave of the Huichang family, lent money to the people of Binzhou, and the principal and interest were doubled several times, and eventually forced countless people to die?"

Did Sun Zhong do such a thing?

In the eleventh year of Zhengtong, Chen I went out to control the water in Shandong, and I had no extra energy to pay attention to the evil incidents of a slave from a foreign relative in the court. Naturally, it was impossible to know.

"I hope to explain in detail."

Chen Yichen bowed his hand and showed a very polite attitude.

Yang Hongze was very helpful to Chen Yichen's politeness. Perhaps this was the first time in several years that the other party had a "showing weakness".

"In his early years, Sun Zhong, the preface class of the Honglu Temple, was from the ninth rank of the Honglu Temple. His family was only able to be free of food and clothing, far from being able to eat at the bell and dine. During the reign of the reign of Empress Dowager Zhang, he set an example and severely suppressed the autocracy of the foreign relatives, which led to the fact that Huichang Bo was still not as rich as the wealthy heels of the old honorary relatives in the court."

"In the seventh year of Zhengtong, the Empress Dowager's death, and with the Supreme Emperor's rule, Huichang's Boss Sun Zhong was favored. He began to buy industries and make money in the capital, and subsequently he was not satisfied with the income from normal operations. He used domestic slaves to travel to casinos, lend, and possession, which made the people suffer in a miserable way."

"In the 11th year of Zhengtong, Sun Xing, a slave of Huichang Bo, made complaints about lending in Binzhou. Some local officials could not bear it and complained to the court, and some censors submitted memorials to impeach Huichang Bo."

"Chen Zhongtang, why don't you guess what the result is?"

Let's talk, Yang Hongze showed a sarcastic smile on his face, almost writing the answer on his face.

"Hold up high and gently put down."

"That's right, the Supreme Emperor thought that Huichang Bo was a national relative and did not know that the family slave had violated the law, so he only dealt with Han Xing and sent him to the border guards in Tieling, Liaodong!"

"How can we prove that it is related to Huichangbo this time, and the market price is raised?"

Chen Yichen asked the key point. Sun Zhong turned the blame to his slave in the eleventh year of Zhengyi. This time he could use the same trick again. Even if it was not his relatives Zhu Qizhen, his daughter was still the empress dowager of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu still wanted to give this face.

The key to finding out the mastermind behind the scenes is to ask for guilt!

"There is no need to prove it at all, because this time it is Han Xing who controls grain prices in the market!"

When Chen Yichen heard Yang Hongze say Han Xing's name, he realized why the other party was so angry. He even gave up his grudges and celebrated the full story of the mastermind behind the raising of grain prices.

The Huichang Bo Sun Zhong was so arrogant that he brought the criminals sent to the border guards back to the capital, and even openly committed illegal activities. It would not be an exaggeration to call him a madman outside the law!

"I didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty's relatives who had suppressed more than 70 years still failed to completely eradicate the shortcomings of the chaos."

Chen Yichen said in a sigh. In a sense, this is not the disadvantage of the relatives of the outside world, but the disadvantage of "ruling man".

"Now you know who the lord behind you is, and do you still dare to take on this matter to help the people?"

Yang Hongze looked at Chen Yichen. This time his tone was no longer sarcastic. On the contrary, he had an expectation that he was unwilling to admit.

"Of course, if everyone seeks profit and avoids harm, is there any justice in this world?"

"At least I, Chen Yichen, don't want to be that cold-eyed bystander!"

The loud and vocal words made Yang Hongze unable to speak for a while, and he felt mixed feelings in his heart.

Yang Hongze knew these inside stories, but it was not the result of an investigation, but the fact that he and Huichangbo themselves belonged to the interests of the Supreme Emperor, and the other party did not hide these at all.

Even not only did Huichang's eldest son Sun Zhong lead the act of hoarding rice and grain and raising the price of grain, many senior officials in the court also had their share. Even if they were not involved in it themselves, their followers, vassals, and shop slaves more or less maintained the same tacit understanding.

After all, only when ordinary people's families are destroyed can they reasonably and legally acquire and merge land, buy more slaves, rent more tenants, and maintain their own life of luxury.

Otherwise, how could a person be the best based on the meager anger of the court and the Ming Baochao, which is not much better than wiping the butt paper?

To put it more exaggeratedly, even top honorees like the Duke of England and Duke of Chengguo's Mansions are difficult to ensure that the mud is not stained by their shops and farms.

It was precisely because Yang Hongze knew the resistance and difficulties behind it that he chose to remain silent until he saw Chen Yichen resolutely accepting the call for the people, envy, jealousy, admiration, and yearning for all kinds of emotions that followed, causing him to be very entangled in his inner emotions.

"The reasons for the famine in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty were that in addition to the powerful people headed by Huichang Bo Sun Zhong, who hoarded grain and raised the price of grain, the essence was that the supply was far insufficient. Even if you suppress the rise in grain prices, you still could not solve the shortage of rice and grain, and treat the symptoms but not the root cause."

After saying that, Yang Hongze was silent for a while before continuing to speak: "But no matter what the process is, I hope you can make the people no longer have hunger and cold."

After saying this, Yang Hongze looked at the room and no longer spoke to Chen Yichen.

The nine-day Yiji Case Examination in the first year of Jingtai was held step by step. Nangong, which was also nominally blocked in the Forbidden City, did not truly achieve a closed state. Zhang Hu, who received two secret gifts from the Supreme Emperor, appeared in the Nangong at this moment!

When he saw Zhang Fu coming, Ruan Lang, the old eunuch who was guarding Zhu Qizhen, left the courtyard very tactfully and stood outside the palace gate to watch.

Ruan Lang was a native of Annan who brought the southern expedition during the Ming Dynasty. You should know that during the southern expedition of the Ming Dynasty, all the barbarians of the vassal states adopted the strategy of "cutting off the roots" for the vassal states. Those who dared to resist were killed directly in adulthood, and were castrated and brought into the palace to become eunuchs when they were young.

Including the famous Sanbao eunuch Zheng He, who was actually a captive young child who was castrated in the battle of Yunnan.

Ruan Lang has gone through five dynasties, and it can be said that he has grown up by watching Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, and naturally he has to be closer emotionally. Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu asked him to guard him, but he was directly instigated without any suspense, but became the confidant of the Supreme Emperor.

It can only be said that the unstable foundation of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu is not only reflected in the lack of sufficient trusted forces among the officials of the foreign dynasty. In addition to a few trusted eunuchs from the hidden residence period, internal officials also cannot find enough trustworthy personnel.

In addition, even though Zhu Qiyu was determined to kill and imprisoned his brother Zhu Qizhen, he was still not harsh in his treatment. Not only did he maintain the service of eunuchs and palace maids, but even his former concubines came to Nangong to accompany him, so that so many children could be reproduced in history.

In other words, although Zhu Qizhen was imprisoned in Nangong, his concubines could enter and exit freely. In addition, most eunuchs and guards were emotionally inclined to the Supreme Emperor, blocking Nangong became a name-and-death.

Now Zhang Fu, who is serving as the right governor, can quietly enter the Nangong with the help of eunuchs and guards in the palace.

"My right governor Zhang Fu, please come to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live right away, right hand side, right hand side side side side side side side side side side side side side side side

Seeing Zhu Qizhen sitting cross-legged on the couch, Zhang Fu was extremely respectful and bowed five times and three times.

Many times, you can understand the other party's attitude from the etiquette title. It is obvious that Zhang Fu has decided to stand firmly on Zhu Qizhen's side.

The reason why he made up his mind was that the Empress Dowager Sun ordered the chief eunuch to set up a supervisor to help Shi Heng, the Hou of Wuqing, and made some progress. The other party did not explicitly reject the Empress Dowager's favor, and showed an ambiguous attitude of waiting and watching.

Zhang Fu knew that Shi Heng was not something in the pool. What was even more terrifying was that he had crazy ambitions. A Wuqing marquis who was in charge of the fifth military camp could not satisfy Shi Heng's appetite. He wanted a very powerful minister at that time and was in power!

If Shi Heng is shaken, the forces of the two emperors in the palace will undergo a fundamental reversal, and the balance of victory will gradually tilt towards the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen, and when it is time to add additional chips.

Seeing Zhang Fu's attitude was so respectful, Zhu Qizhen's face was filled with a smile. He stood up and helped him up with his own hands. He said in great closeness: "Zhang Aiqing is my loyal minister. Why do you need to give this great gift now in Nangong?"

"There is a difference between the king and the minister. Even if Your Majesty loves you, the minister must abide by his duties!"

Zhang Fu's answer made Zhu Qizhen feel more and more satisfied. He said with some emotion: "If all the civil and military officials in the court were as loyal as Zhang Aiqing, there might not be the scene of me retreating to the Nangong today."

Zhang Hu dared to answer other words. Before he could figure out the intention of the Supreme Emperor, he could only bow and stand aside and remain silent.

"Zhang Aiqing, I have heard outside the Great Wall that the title of Duke of England was passed to the concubine's son Zhang Mao. Such an act of ignoring the elders and young people is simply incompatible with etiquette!"

When Zhu Qizhen said this, he looked indignant. In a sense, he empathized with Zhang Fu. According to etiquette and law, he was the only legitimate son of his father, and King Hui was not qualified to steal the supreme position. In this way, the rituals and music collapsed, wouldn’t the country be disgraced in the future?

The same sentence also touched Zhang Yu's heart. He finally couldn't help but replied indignantly: "When my brother was alive, he never said that he would let his concubine's son inherit the title. Unfortunately, he was wearing a horse in Tumu Fort, and His Majesty decided to let Zhang Mao inherit the title."

"A young son who is only nine years old, how can he take charge of the huge British Duke's Mansion?"

"Zhang Aiqing said very much. I have a deep understanding of this matter. Since ancient times, I have established the legitimate position as the eldest son. If I can ascend to the position of great treasure again, I will definitely make up the chaos and will be bright and bright!"

The Duke of England is the bargaining chip that Queen Mother Sun had long promised to Zhang Fu. Now it is said through Zhu Qizhen's mouth, which is equivalent to a sure thing for Jun Wu to joke about.

Of course, the premise is, can Zhu Qizhen regain the position of Dabao?

"The Emperor's Holy Spirit!"

Zhang Fu got the promise he wanted and knelt down again to show his loyalty. At this point, Zhu Qizhen didn't need to hide it. He directly said: "I ruled the Tartars in charge and ordered King Hui to be the supervisor of the country and temporarily take the position of Grand Chief."

"I never wanted the bird to occupy the nest. I forced me to abdicate and become the emperor and imprisoned in this Nangong."

"The King of Hui is not indifferent to the king and his elder brother, which is not tolerated by heaven and earth. But now the evil in the court is in power, and he urgently needs loyal and righteous ministers like Zhang Aiqing to raise their arms and shout. I wonder if Zhang Aiqing is willing to create a prosperous era with me?"

Zhu Qizhen was imprisoned in the Nangong, and he could be said to be like a year. He was always worried that Zhu Qiyu would attack him. One day, news of the sudden death of the emperor came out of the palace. If he delayed like this, waiting for the end of the competition in the first year of Jingtai, a group of emperor disciples belonging to Emperor Jingtai entered the court.

Don’t underestimate the role of the emperor’s disciple. It’s hard to say that there will be no ruthless character like Chen Yichen, which will play a key role in changing the court.

The choice of Chen Jingchen as the Three Yuans is the last thing Zhu Qizhen regrets so far in his life, and the imperial guards can only be ranked behind. The threat of death and the urgency of time, he needs to win over Zhang Fu and other old ministers who are loyal to him as soon as possible to make a coup.

Otherwise, the longer the time delays, the lower the hope of restoration!

Facing Zhu Qizhen's inquiry, Zhang Fu was in a turbulent mood. He subconsciously wanted to accept it, but he never said it when he spoke.

No matter how attractive the British duke is, how close the Dragon's skills are. But choosing to rebel is a path without turning back, either success, death, or even the whole family is destroyed!

His Majesty's series of operations have obtained the legal authority of Emperor Yingzong of Ming in a sense after three remarks and three resignations. In addition, the prestige brought by the surrender of the King of Time and the Mongolian Khan, can the coup really succeed?

"Zhang Qing, don't let me down!"

Seeing that Zhang Fu had not given a definite reply for a long time, Zhu Qizhen's tone instantly became a little cold.

The experience of Beishou made him distorted and suspicious. He was no longer the energetic Ming Yingzong who was the first to be the emperor. His purpose of restoration was not for the court, but for revenge and power.

Those who cannot be loyal to themselves are their enemies!

Zhu Qizhen's cold tone awakened Zhang Fu's hesitation. He hurriedly explained: "I am not unwilling to create an enlightened and prosperous era with the emperor, but now the imperial court's soldiers and horses are under the control of Yu Qian and Chen Yichen."

"If Shi Heng, the Marquis of Wuqing, did not abandon the secret and turned to the light, it would be difficult and dangerous for the Emperor to ascend to the throne again!"
