Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 279 Shocking
Zu Dashou looked at them, stood up immediately, took a few steps quickly, caught up with Yizao above, and said earnestly, "Lord Zhongcheng, this matter is of great importance, and I will definitely give you an answer as soon as possible."

When Fang Yizao heard this, he turned his head and glanced at him, understanding his difficulty.

The so-called ancestral family power is actually a combination of all parties, with the ancestral family as the leader.This does not mean that Zu Dashou alone can have the final say.

Therefore, he nodded and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I will wait for you for three days!"

After speaking, Fang Yizao took the package and left.Zu Dashou also saw him off in person, and did not come back until he left the mansion.

In the back hall, only Zu Dashou's brothers were left again.Without outsiders here, they have no scruples in speaking.

"Brother, we have worked hard for many years, so let's just forget it?"

"That's right, brother, how could our ancestral family be bullied by outsiders like this!"

"Brother, what do you think we should do? Lord Zhongcheng only gave me three days for this matter!"

"..."

Facing his brother's chatter, Zu Dashou made a serious face, frowned and said: "Enough, if it is possible, of course I don't want to let it go like this. But this matter is not your elder brother and me alone You can have the final say. Immediately send people to each house, say that there are important matters to discuss, and let them come day and night!"

Some people are not in Jinzhou City, but are distributed in various guards between Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan.Even farther away, for example, Wu Xiang, the father of Wu Sangui, was far away in the capital.If it is too far away, let it go, and if it is closer, if it can be called, it will naturally be called.

Following his order, his servants immediately flocked out of the ancestral mansion, and hurried out of Jinzhou City.If people who don't know see it, they will think that Jianlu is about to attack on a large scale!

After the messenger sent out, in the back hall, Zu Dashou looked at his brothers, sat back in his seat with a somewhat dejected expression, then sighed and said: "If we only want to deal with Sun Chuanting, each family There should be no objections. However, after they know the situation in the pass and the emperor's affairs, they will understand that dealing with Sun Chuanting is to fight against the court and the emperor. In my opinion, even if some people feel unwilling, it's not a big deal Maybe choose to fight against the wise and mighty emperor!"

Speaking of this, he showed a wry smile and said: "At least the Wu family, I don't think they will fight against the emperor for those fields!"

They have all read Wu Sangui's letter.From the lines in this letter, they could all see that Wu Sangui admired the emperor very much.If Wu Sangui were to fight against the emperor, he would never agree.

If the Wu family did not agree to fight against the emperor, there is a high probability that those families that were married to the Wu family would not fight against the emperor either.

In fact, most people would not have the guts to confront the emperor.What's more, he was still a wise and mighty emperor, relying on the three major camps that could defeat Jianlu.

Therefore, after Zu Dashou finished speaking, all the people were silent.Whether they like it or not, they feel tremendous pressure.

Looking at his brothers, there was one who seemed hesitant to speak, Zu Dashou guessed what he was thinking, and said again: "Only when we hold the Ningjin line of defense, will Huang Taiji look at us high. Because what he cares most about is not our ancestral home, but the Ningjin line of defense. If we voted for Huang Taiji, I believe it will be valued at the beginning. But, then? Our ancestral home does not have the Ningjin line of defense. Taiji will always value us? Is it above or below other Jianzhou Jurchens? If we talk about the importance, it is only inferior to other Jianzhou Jurchens. Do you think it will be comfortable? Don’t, our The status is not even as good as that of the Mongols, then it will be too late to regret it!”

Hearing this, Zu Dabi showed a little stupefied, and asked Zu Dashou: "Brother, what do you mean, return all those farmlands, and listen to Sun Chuanting's orders carefully?"

After hearing this, everyone else stared at Zu Dashou, wanting to hear his opinion.For these Zu brothers, Zu Dashou's opinion is very important. After all, they are the head of the family.

Zu Dashou sighed, nodded and said: "For the sake of the long-term of the ancestors, let it be done!"

Hearing this conclusion was actually within their expectations.Several people stopped talking, but Zu Dale still said a little bit indignantly: "Sun Chuanting has been aggressive since he came here. I am really unwilling to be bullied by him like this!"

"Your statement is actually wrong!" Zu Dashou heard this, and said earnestly, "You think Sun Chuanting is stupid! He has actually left a way for us. Let us hand over the farmland ourselves, and we don't care about the previous harvest. Otherwise, if he really wants to punish us and persecute us, we will have to pay back the previous harvests. And he can be dissatisfied with how much we pay back. Don’t you think so?”

When Zu Dale heard this, his mouth opened and he was speechless.If Sun Chuanting really wanted to do that, he would really leave no room for him to force them to death or force them against him.

Seeing him like this, Zu Dashou sighed again: "Actually, letting Mr. Zhongcheng pass the message gave us leeway. Believe it or not, after he saw the things in those packages and heard about the emperor, He has already been convinced that we will definitely submit. Because only submitting is in our best interest!"

Without waiting for others to speak, he said with emotion: "Few of those civil servants are fools!"

This time, after hearing this, the brothers of Zu Dashou sighed and shook their heads. It was obvious that they had been persuaded by Zu Dashou and were ready to give in.

However, Zu Dacheng thought of a question, and asked again: "What about my nephew and the others?"

"What should we do?" Hearing this, Zu Dashou had some ideas about this, and immediately said, "They will do whatever they want! As long as Huang Taiji still wants to close the Ning line of defense, he will definitely show us favor As for the ancestral family, their status there will not have any problems. As for the imperial court..."

Speaking of this, he remembered what was mentioned in Wu Sangui's letter, those who betray the Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are!Can't help but sigh, there are so many things!
Thinking of this, he continued to say: "For the time being, let's write a memorial for them, saying that there is no way, they are in Cao Ying and their hearts are in Han. When they return to Daming in the future, they should continue to stay. Let's talk about the situation!"

The others nodded their heads when they heard this, and they had no choice but to do so first.

Two days later, except for those in the pass, everyone else came.It's the kind of non-stop, day and night, gathering at Zu Dashou's commander-in-chief's mansion.

After talking about the situation, the result did not exceed Zu Dashou's expectations. The fact that the opinions of the various schools were not in agreement determined that they could not fight against Sun Chuanting.If they really want to fight desperately, at least they must be united internally.

Therefore, shortly after the meeting, Zu Dashou personally visited Fang Yizao, governor of Liaodong, and told him that they would return all the farmland on Guanning's side within two days.

Hearing this, Fang Yizao breathed a sigh of relief.For him, this is the best result.Therefore, he comforted Zu Dashou instead.Listen carefully to the court, maybe one day in the future, like Li Chengliang, he can be named the Earl of Liaodong or something.

After Zu Dashou dealt with him for a while, he immediately handed over the farmland under his ancestral family's name, and without delay, immediately sent someone to contact Jin Guofeng in Tashan to complete the military order to change defense.

When Sun Chuanting heard the news, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Don't look at him as tough on the surface, in fact, he is actually unwilling to force the power of the ancestors to turn against him.After all, he is the governor of Ji Liao. If his subordinates make a mess, and even lose Ning Jin's line, even if the emperor supports him, then he will be under great pressure!

"Your majesty is really amazing!" Sun Chuanting said to himself, and prepared to write a memorial to the emperor to report the situation in Shanhaiguan.

If the emperor hadn't sent someone to convey the decree and brought home letters from those Guan Ning Army soldiers, he could guarantee that this matter would not have been so easy to resolve!
But Sun Chuanting didn't know that he had just started writing his memorial, and the Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in the capital, already knew about his situation.

Regarding Sun Chuanting's secret praise for him, Emperor Chongzhen just smiled.With such a golden finger in the wiretapping system, in fact, some things are not as he thought, and it takes a very strong ability to do it.

This can be regarded as solving a hidden danger in Ning Jin's defense line. Emperor Chongzhen also heaved a sigh of relief, and then put this matter behind him, and began to look at the memorial in his hand.

This memorial was just sent by Wang Chengen, the governor of Dongchang, regarding the investigation of the restoration of society.

The situation recorded above is indeed a bit shocking.The association comes first, let it develop naturally, and the next step is to form a party!Of course, they do not admit that they form a party.This point, in fact, was reported in Chongzhen ten years ago, but he was not convicted.

There is also the matter of the imperial examination. Fushe controls the admission of students at the level of students. These things are actually open to the public.Because everyone knows that if you want to guarantee the middle school students as much as possible, you must visit the wharf of Fushe and get Zhang Pu's consent.

However, these things are very difficult to deal with.Because Zhang Pu himself is just a good scholar, responsible for drafting edicts, explaining scriptures for the emperor, and teaching the prince during the time when Emperor Chongzhen was out of Beijing, but he did not engage in anything related to the imperial examination .

As for his correspondence with local officials, commenting on XX's talents and learning, on the surface, there is no problem at all.

Therefore, if Emperor Chongzhen wanted to deal with him, it would not be convincing to rely on these words alone.Of course, he can do this forcibly, but it is not worthwhile to destroy the image of sage he has built for the sake of a mere Zhang Pu.

Mastering the army has high prestige, which is equivalent to holding the handle of a knife in his hand. To a certain extent, Emperor Chongzhen would have no problem wielding the knife directly.But this is not the best solution, there are better solutions available.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the passage in the memorial, with a slight sneer on his face.

The main content of this passage is that the complex is already very large, consisting of more than a dozen societies, including Yunjian Jishe, Xiangshan Tongshe, Zhejiang West News Society, Jiangbei South Society, Huangzhou Zhishe, and Jiangnan Yingshe. combined.Its members are mainly young scholars, with a total of nearly 3000 people, and most of these people are officials and officials, and they represent a lot of power behind them.

That's not all, most of these Fushe members are students, a small number of them are Juren, and some even have won Jinshi and are now officials.

In addition, Fushe has almost inherited the mantle of the Donglin Party.At this time, both the Donglin Party and the Fushe were regarded as representatives of the Qingliu in the scholars and folks.In other words, in layman's terms, they are honest and good officials!
If Fushe is brutally and directly attacked, one can foresee how much pressure there will be.Even if only a few leaders are dealt with, their reputation is very high, which will inevitably trigger a strong backlash.

However, Emperor Chongzhen's failure was actually due to the fact that Fushe had such a powerful force behind it!
I heard him pointing at the memorial with his fingers in a cold voice and saying: "Donglin Party, Fushe, Qingliu...haha, not bad, not bad!"

After finishing speaking, he took out several other memorials, which he specially asked Lan Tianbao to find, and after looking at them again, he ordered Zhang Pu and Wu Changshi to have an audience.

It didn't take long for the two to arrive.

When they saw the ceremony, Emperor Chongzhen observed them carefully and found that they were more or less unnatural.Could it be because they didn't get their consent to act as the prince's lecturers, or maybe they did something bad in their daily lives, and they were a little uneasy when they met themselves who suddenly became famous for being wise and martial?
Emperor Chongzhen thought so, but on the surface he remained calm. After they saw the ceremony, he smiled and said: "I heard that Qing and the other two have both virtues and talents, and their reputation is very good. Even the queen and the prince praised Qing and the other two. , when I saw you today, you are indeed handsome, looking at me, you feel that Qing and the other two will not let me down!"

Upon hearing this, both Zhang Pu and Wu Changshi were slightly overjoyed, and they all became humble at the same time.

They originally thought that since the emperor sent a decree to summon the two of them, there might be difficulties to overcome.However, they didn't expect that the emperor would praise them first when he saw them.Although it is to praise them for their good looks, but no matter what, it is always a good start, isn't it!
Waving his hands to stop the humility of the two of them, Emperor Chongzhen smiled again and said: "I heard that Qing and others established Fushe, and shared what they have learned. They have a broad mind, which is especially rare under the current corruption of ritual and music. On weekdays, Qing and others also comment on current affairs, worry about the grievances of the people, worry about the court's urgency, worry about the country and the people, are there any of these?"
