As soon as he said this, the faces of the people around him changed, and he wanted to rush over and tear Wang Huichuan's mouth.

Wang Huichuan quickly continued, "The King of Shu is about to rebel, and the officials have been waiting for the royal army of the court! The lord is finally here! Capture all these people!"

The others hurriedly said, "Sir, don't listen to him talking nonsense, we don't know anything!"

Wang Huichuan said: "Sir, what the Xiaguan said is true. All these people are going to join the King of Shu to rebel! These... these wines and dishes are poisonous, a chronic poison, they are going to poison the adults!"

Wen Tiren and Sun Chuanting looked at each other, and Sun Chuanting said, "Catch all these people!"

Wang Huichuan said again: "The officials have long been looking forward to the royal army of the court. The King of Shu sent someone to persuade the officials. The officials who agreed to the King of Shu on the surface, but in fact they are ready to submit memorials to the court!"

The sound of his speech was trembling and his whole body was shaking.

"These people evade taxes, and the officials have already wanted to punish them. However, behind them, the King of Shu has been enduring humiliation and burdens. The Lord has finally come. Lord, the Lord is willing to cooperate with the Lord to investigate with all his strength!"

Of course, Sun Chuanting and Wen Tiren would not believe that Wang Huichuan was really what he said.

However, Sun Chuanting did not plan to deal with Wang Huichuan immediately, after all, he was still useful.

After arresting those people, Sun Chuanting had food.

"Wang Zhizhou, how many soldiers and horses does the King of Shu have now?"

"I don't know this official."

"What do you know?"

Wang Huichuan thought for a while and said, "The officials knew that almost all the officials of Chengdu Prefecture had contact with the King of Shu."

"Nonsense!" Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice, "Those are all officials from the court, and they are paid by His Majesty. Local officials are strictly prohibited from having contact with the prince. You said that all officials of Chengdu Prefecture have contact with the King of Shu, which is impossible!"

This is certainly impossible.

One person cannot satisfy everyone.

It is impossible for a rebel group to be a solid piece.

The group will inevitably have conflicts of interest, and if there is conflicts of interest, it will inevitably be divided.

Most officials stand in the King of Shu, and there are always people who want to inform and seek credit?

As for humans, they are all animals driven by interests.

"The Xiaguan said it wrong, most of it, most of it!"

"What are the credentials?"

"Sir, you should know that the officials from all over the Chengdu Prefecture are more or less clean. Now the court is strictly investigating corruption. It is easy for the King of Shu to force them to submit. You just need to threaten them!"

"Then they dare not rebel with the King of Shu!"

“What if there are enough officials?”

As soon as Wang Huichuan said this, Sun Chuanting's sharp gaze immediately swept over and nailed it to his fat face.

Wang Huichuan felt that Sun Chuanting's gaze was too sharp at this time and dared not look directly at it.

Sun Chuanting understood what Wang Huichuan meant.

Rebellion is a political activity, and political activity is to win over more people in their own camp. The more people, the safer it is.

Once there are more people, the psychological barriers to other people's participation will be lower.

He remembered that the emperor mentioned a very interesting concept to him, just to follow the mentality.

Of course, it is also mentioned that the law does not punish the masses.

Once the number of rebels really increases and spreads to several provinces, it will be a big deal.

Moreover, it was not ordinary people who rebel, but officials and royal families.

These people have the local public opinion power, administrative power, and a lot of money.

After hearing Wang Huichuan say this, Sun Chuanting felt that this matter was even more serious than he had expected.

If not dealt with in time, it is likely to spread rapidly.

Capture the king first.

Sun Chuanting said to Wang Huichuan: "What else do you know?"

"The other officials really don't know."

Sun Chuanting only left 500 people in Mianzhou. As a base, he probably didn't need a base either.

He did not stay in Mianzhou for a long time, but rushed towards Chengdu.

After hearing Wang Huichuan talk about the current situation, Sun Chuanting felt that the situation had reached a very serious point.

Once the person who stands in Shu King really reaches a certain level, a huge force will be formed.

On the 23rd of the first lunar month, it has been half a month since the news of the rebellion of the King of Shu reached Beijing.

In the past half a month, the court in Beijing was in full swing.

Beijing officials also divided several different views on the rebellion of the Shu King.

First, the hardliners advocated immediately mobilizing a large army into Shu, vigorously suppressing all rebellions, and arresting the King of Shu and related rebels into Beijing, and sentenced to death.

Most of the hardliners are New Deals, and they know why the King of Shu returned.

When the new policy was implemented, the new policy offended many people. So far, the new policy in the thirteen provinces of the two capitals and thirteen provinces has not been implemented.

Even the main officials in many places were officials during the Tianqi period. The sky was high and the emperor was far away, with policies from above and countermeasures from below.

Even in the railway era and the telephone era, corruption is still the trend.

Until the mobile Internet era, the world was flattened, and there were more channels for exposing corruption, and the amount of private property accounts that required corrupt officials to be digitalized in those years. The highly developed informatization greatly reduced the cost of detecting corruption.

But now?

Now there are not even cement roads, and checkpoints are set up in various places, and personnel are not circulated. How many of the information sent back by some stations is true?

Not only the New Deal, but even Zhang Chen himself felt that he was sitting in the Forbidden City, wrapped in a huge dark forest, and felt insecure.

This is why the New Deal faction is tough.

If the new policy cannot be vigorously implemented and good political achievements are shown, the new policy faction will be attacked and calculated.

2. Conservatives.

Conservatives believe that this may be a false saying that the King of Shu may not necessarily rebel. If the King of Shu does not rebel and the court makes great moves, it will become a laughing stock in the world.

Of course, the King of Shu may have rebelled, but the court should send people to negotiate with the King of Shu. The King of Shu must have complained, so he rebelled. If the court can agree to the King of Shu within a controllable range, it is best to take peace as the most important thing. After all, Liaodong and Monan are now in trouble.

You can't say what the conservatives said is unreasonable. At least from the logic of checks and balances, the Ming Dynasty definitely did not have the strength to fight on both sides. Once the war in the north is burning at this time and the southwest rebelled again, the situation will be really out of control.

Moreover, the southwest experienced the Anshe Rebellion during the Tianqi period, and many prefectures and counties in Sichuan were affected and their people's livelihood was withered.

Three, compromise party.

Compromising factions are different from conservatives. Conservatives weigh the pros and cons. For example, Han Dong is a conservative bigwig, and they are still seriously analyzing the problems from the national level.

But the compromise faction only cares about personal interests, and they believe that the court should converge on the new policy.

According to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, the prince was unable to rebel. The current King of Shu was able to rebel, which means that many people in Sichuan supported the King of Shu.

Why support the King of Shu?

They further clarified the reason, that is, the new policy is unpopular and everyone opposes the new policy. As long as the new policy is abolished, the rebellion of the King of Shu will collapse immediately.

These three factions fought in the court in the first month of the sixth year of Chongzhen, and no one allowed to let anyone down.

But what is strange is that the emperor sat in the Ganqing Palace and did not make any comments on this matter for more than half a month.

In fact, it is not that I didn’t say anything. The main reason is that I have already made the statement and the army has been pulled over.

Moreover, the army has arrived at the gate of Chengdu City, how should we express our opinions?

On the 25th day of the first lunar month, the court was still in full swing.

The artillery of the Shenwu Guard was already placed under the Chengdu city tower.

The news reached the Shu King's Mansion. At that time, the Shu King was still playing the game of whoever took off his clothes quickly with a few beauties. There was no way. In ancient times, entertainment facilities were poor, and playing such games was the daily life of rich people.
