Chapter 1702 Aftermath
"There is no need to take the silver again." Cao Huachun was very generous to the Qian surnamed, and said in a gentle tone: "I told Ling that our family likes his poems and also likes his character. Our family is different from Wei Yin. Wei Yin does not respect scholars, but our family is willing to make good friends with scholars. Thousands of silver is a trivial matter. Just tell your elder brother to remember to owe our family a favor."
Qian was overjoyed and ate several more heads. At this time, a long follower came over and took the man out.
Cao Huachun sold his favor very strongly, saving Qian Qianyi a lot of money.
After Qian Qianyi recovered, he was indeed appointed as the Minister of Rites, and later successfully promoted him to the cabinet. Later, Wen Tiren made a statement, exposing the bribery. Chongzhen did not like him at first. After Qian Qianyi's affairs were exposed, Chongzhen was furious and ordered him to return to his hometown in Changshu, Guandai and live there.
This time he lived there for more than ten years. Qian Qianyi once took another 20,000 yuan to Beijing to seek recovery, but because Chongzhen hated him very much, he did not succeed.
The origin of Cao Huachun and Donglin's friendship is not without cause. Without it, you just want to give it to your preference.
The emperor had a good impression of Donglin, so these slaves certainly followed suit. However, Cao Huachun never expected that he had a good relationship with Donglin and sang poems with the Donglin party members. He thought it was elegant. When Cao Huachun was in power, many Donglin party members praised him very much. When Cao Huachun came home to take care of his old age due to illness, Li Chuang entered the capital in the 17th year of Chongzhen, but the Donglin party members spoke all the words, saying that Cao Huachun, who was living at home, ran back to the capital with his magical skills and opened the city gate to welcome Li Chuang into the capital.
If eunuch Cao knew about what happened more than ten years later, he would have summoned his servants immediately and used a mess to throw out the money-selling person.
When the Qian surnamed Qian left, Cao Huachun glanced at Xu Xianchun and said, "Mr. Xu, I have been standing for a long time. What do you say? Are we waiting for you?"
Xu Xianchun wanted to save face for himself in front of outsiders, but in front of Cao Huachun, he was revealed. He knelt down, kowtowed, and cried loudly: "Master, I have done my best, you always know."
"Our family knows, what do you mean?" Cao Huachun changed his face and cursed: "You are still from a noble family. You have been in charge of the Jinyiwei for several years, but you don't do it! There are thousands of lieutenants and military officials under your command, and there are so many idle people. Hutchison is in the capital and has a total of 100 people. You actually asked people to kill and hurt dozens of people. The revenge is not avenged, and the people are gone, and there is no goods or money. I ask you, why do you explain to the emperor and what do you mean by our family?"
Xu Xianchun responded according to what Yao Zongwen said, saying that he had sent all his forces to the whole city, and he must catch the people from Hutchison, and then torture them severely. He must follow the clues and capture all the remnants.
As for goods and silver, Xu Xianchun promised to take a large number of lieutenants out of Beijing and go to various places to investigate and record semicolons urgently, and must find out the deposit of the account and the goods.
"Very good." Cao Huachun had nothing to say. This matter was quite passive and he felt very embarrassed. Not to mention the eunuchs, they were constantly fighting openly and secretly. For example, Xu Yingyuan and Cao Huachun were not dealing with each other. Xu Yingyuan fell apart, and some eunuchs from the Xinwang Mansion were staring at Cao Huachun's position as the founder of the factory minister. This position is not as good as Wei Zhongxian back then, but he is also the second-ranked eunuchs. It is very difficult for tens of thousands of eunuchs to get into this position. Cao Huachun was also trembling every day, fearing that someone would catch the loopholes and arch him down.
This time, the Hutchison was not doing well, and the censor impeached him. When Cao Huachun went to serve the emperor yesterday, he found that the emperor's face was not good and his attitude towards him was a bit strange. He served him carefully, but fortunately he was not scolded, but after leaving the palace, he made up his mind to force Xu Xianchun to use his strength to feed him.
Now that Xu Xianchun's guarantee is so guaranteed, Cao Huachun feels a little relieved, but he also knows that it is quite difficult to do this. Judging from the situation in the capital, it is estimated that Hutchison will be arranged in various places, but he can't stay trapped in the capital, and he can only be treated as a living horse.
Cao Huachun warned: "The incident yesterday was a hot topic. When you leave Beijing, the lieutenant and the hundred households should not wear flying fish clothes. Change it to ordinary imperial guards or people's clothing. As long as the local government does not come out for too much trouble, you should not say that the Jinyiwei is out for business. You should know that unless you arrest the criminals, read the imperial edict, the lieutenant will come out of Beijing to arrest the criminals and search shops, it will attract attention. Once a big mess occurs, you will not have enough to cut ten heads."
Xu Xianchun was stern and immediately said, "Please rest assured that the factory owner must act carefully and will never cause trouble."
...
By the end of September, the weather in the capital turned cold, and on October 15th, it snowed heavily. From the Forbidden City to the yards, it was covered in silver and white.
Several prison chariots entered the Ministry of Justice from Tianjie. A group of soldiers entered the door with the big chariot, and then followed the prison chariot all the way to the outside of the Ministry of Justice's cell to guard the prison.
The team leader was a general. If there was a cold weather, the general looked bad. The general looked very good. Several subordinates tried their best to tell jokes and tease General Shen for being happy.
"Xu Xianchun was not asked to be executed at first." A guard pointed to the direction of the prison cell. Several prisoners were carrying wooden plates in. There were wine and food. It looked quite rich, but in such a cold day, the food had been prepared for a long time, and I was afraid it would be very cold.
The guard took a look and then said, "The memorial of Xu Xianchun who impeached Wei Yin in the palace was found in the palace. Regardless of whether it was true or false, there was such a thing. The emperor originally said that he would spare this guy and asked him to serve in the Jinyiwei first. However, dozens of people were killed by Hu Ji in the capital, and he could not copy them out one or two pieces of silver. He took people out of the capital, but he still didn't catch them alone, and he didn't get one or two pieces of silver. The emperor was furious. Xu Xianchun went directly to prison after returning to the capital, which was considered a bad luck."
"We can hide so much, something that was unexpected in advance." Another military officer said, "On a night, thousands of people were missing their whereabouts, dozens of goods with semicolons were deposited, and they did not know where to go. The local officials asked no questions. The factory guards were searching everywhere, and it was a mess. Xu Xianchun beat a board of hundreds of people in Baoding a day, and used more than 20 pairs of sticks. As a result, no one found out. The superior was furious. In fact, Xu Xianchun had any solutions. He didn't know that he had a strange mind."
It was cold and everyone was breathless when they spoke, but there was no need to continue talking about this.
Xu Xianchun failed to capture people, and a group of big men in the capital coveted Hutchison's goods to store silver, but he could not even find an iron nail, and he did not get a single or two broken silver.
The dozens of Hutchisons in the semicolons disappeared without a trace overnight. The shopkeepers of Hutchisons who had famous local names disappeared overnight. Whether it was the Jinyiwei or the local government, they could not find the person. As for the storefronts of the semicolons in various places, they were empty.
The Hutchison convoy, which once walked in the north in large numbers, seemed to have lost trace overnight, from the capital to Kaifeng, to Dezhou, Linqing, and then to Yongping. If you go south, you will reach Huai'an and Yangzhou. There are at least one thousand large cars, and it seems to have evaporated from the world overnight.
If the transportation and management capabilities of Hutchison's convoy and mobilization capabilities of Hutchison's convoy attracted attention from the government and the public, and from then on, this evacuation operation made people feel Hutchison's power and mystery. This timid and incredible evacuation plan, and was quite perfect and successful. Whether it is the factory guard or the local government, whether it is kind or hostile to Hutchison, no matter what attitude or position is, at least there is a little to be recognized. Hutchison can disappear overnight and can appear again overnight.
The court killed the feathers in Xinpingbao and returned, and the governor and the soldiers were killed in battle. More than 10,000 troops were defeated by Hutchison. It was also introduced to the capital shortly after that.
Not many people dare to discuss this matter, only a few censors may have received instructions. Although Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou died in battle, they still reported impeachment. The governor and military preparation measures were absurd and they were defeated by a group of civilian groups. They must have been unwilling to do military affairs in normal times, and even suffered such defeat.
After hearing about the defeat of Xinpingbao, the emperor was said to have smashed multiple vases in the palace and beat more than a dozen internal prisoners who were blind. At the same time, he also appointed the censor to impeach the two civil officials who died in battle. Under the fire, some censors suggested arresting the families of the two criminals for being punished. The man was more than 16, the woman was sent to the sect, and the young were exiled to Liaodong... Although the emperor was young and energetic, his mind was not so stupid that he did not do things so out of line.
But Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou certainly had no sanctions. The court did not make things difficult for their families, but did not praise or commemorate them. The two officials died, as if this was not the case. This was far from the same as Gao Bangzuo, who died in Liaodong and committed suicide to death.
These things have nothing directly to Xu Xianchun, but they also indirectly affect him.
Xinpingbao was defeated, Xuanfu went to the Zijing Pass area to martial law, Yulin, Shanxi and Gansu towns were martial law, and the capital almost came to martial law. Fortunately, Fu Zonglong and Zhangjiakou general Zhou Yuji reported that the Shang army had retreated north by the people of Xinpingbao and Zhang Han. After a large withdrawal, they launched a large-scale invasion in the south again in a short period of time, which seemed unlikely.
Of course, the Xuanfu report was just inferred that Fu Zonglong and others had 100 heads and dared not assert that He Jiji would not commit crimes in the short term. Zhang Han had been rescued and left, and Xinping Fort became an open space. After Huang Degong and other generals lost their governor, they quickly rushed to Xinping Fort and killed some nearby villages and towns who did not escape. They claimed to beheading level 200, and burned Xinping Fort into white land. This was really not what famous generals did, but Huang Degong was originally a general from the Apocalypse dwarf. In order to protect himself, it was understandable to do so.
Huang Degong took himself out. At that time, one of the generals who ran away was arrested to the capital, including guerrillas and garrisons. Fifteen people were arrested and questioned. In less than a month, all of them were questioned as death row and went to the court with Tian Ergeng, Li Shi, Xu Xianchun and others who were about to beheaded today.
More than 20 people were killed in a day, all of whom were civil and military officials of the fourth rank or above. This incident has caused a sensation in the capital. The autumn is usually in September, and the high and cool air is also a solemn and murderous air. It is really rare to kill people when it is snowing like now.
Xu Xianchun is the most unlucky one. He had already gone ashore and killed the eunuch party once last time. It was mainly composed of Keshi's nephew and Wei Zhongxian's nephew. Xu Xianchun curled with Wang Dehua, Cao Huachun and others. It was originally nothing, but he failed to do his job. In addition, the news of the disastrous defeat in Xinpingbao came, and the capital was shocked. The emperor was furious. Who would dare to protect this hard-core eunuch party?
