1169 The Qian Family

With the emperor's guidance behind his back, Chen Youming naturally had no scruples. In the subsequent negotiations, he showed great concern for his son. He would agree immediately if the other party made any requests.

Of course, in fact, Chen Jingzhong was originally the treasure of the Chen family, and his previous worries were all filled with his forehead. No matter how much the other party thought, he did not expect the real situation.

Naturally, there was no omission of the progress of this matter to Emperor Chongzhen one after another.

"Your Majesty, the last general has found out that the leader of the Jinqian Gang was surnamed Qian, and he was from Changshu County, Suzhou Prefecture." Liu Xingzuo reported to Emperor Chongzhen.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he knew that he would not mention this matter for no reason, so he immediately asked, "But what's wrong?"

Liu Xingzuo immediately replied: "The last general suspects the mastermind behind the scenes is Qian Qianyi, an official and gentry in Changshu..."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this name, he immediately remembered it. This name, both in later generations and in this life, was very famous. In the original history, the name Qian Qianyi was almost the same as "Shui Too Cold". The reason was that Qian Qianyi had always been a moral model for the Ming Dynasty officialdom and the opposition officials. However, when the Ming Dynasty was in its demise, he was originally planning to jump into the lake with his wife, Liu Rushi, one of the eight beauties of Qinhuai. As a result, Liu Rushi jumped, but he found an excuse to say that the water was too cold and dared not jump, and eventually took the lead in surrendering to the Qing Dynasty.

On this plane, these things did not happen, and of course, they would not happen, because the Qing Dynasty had been destroyed by Emperor Chongzhen. At this time, the Ming Dynasty was extremely powerful and no enemy could destroy the Ming Dynasty.

However, just like the original history, Qian Qianyi was very famous. He was one of the leaders of the Donglin Party and served as the Minister of Rites. It is natural that those who can become the leader of the Donglin Party have a reputation, and his power is also very strong. In the early years of Chongzhen, in order to compete for the power to enter the cabinet, he felt that Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru were ranked high, so he mobilized his power to prevent Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren from entering the cabinet.

This kind of party struggle for power and profit is very famous even in later generations. It is nothing more than attacking competitors. Even without a solid reputation, it can make the emperor be cautious and achieve his goal.

As a result, Qian Qianyi did not expect that his fraud during the Zhejiang scientific expedition was reported, which led to his pride being assigned to his official position and returning home. This was the case before Emperor Chongzhen traveled through time, otherwise, it would not have been as simple as just being assigned to an official position.

However, after Qian Qianyi arrived at the local area, his influence was still very great. Fushe was a continuation of the Donglin Party, and Qian Qianyi, the big boss, has always stood behind. In the original history, according to historical records, Wen Tiren instructed Qian Qianyi's fellow villager Zhang Hanru to sue Qian Qianyi for being greedy and illegal, and the governors from all over the country wrote letters to complain for him. Among them were the famous Zhang Guowei, Lu Zhenfei and others in later generations. From this matter, we can see how powerful Qian Qianyi's influence was.

However, what Qian Qianyi was able to escape was that he bribed the eunuch Cao Huachun, the palace's eunuch. At that time, Cao Huachun was the admiral of the East Factory, and he interrogated the matter, killed Zhang Hanru and received his confession, saying that Wen Tiren was instructed to falsely accused. The final result of the incident was that Wen Tiren stepped down. Although Qian Qianyi was exempted from prison, he was stripped of his hometown again.

From the perspective of later generations, there are many doubts about this matter. First of all, with Wen Tiren's way of doing things, he would not aimlessly but simply falsely accuse him. This method is too vulgar and is very unsafe to do it. After all, Wen Tiren cannot do anything powerful. He used to sue Qian Qianyi, but he mastered the truth about the fraud in the imperial examination.

Second, Qian Qianyi bribed Cao Huachun with a large sum of money. Then Zhang Hanru was killed by Dongchang. If he received a confession, would it be necessary to kill him and silence him?

Third, the final result of this matter was that Wen Tiren was resigned, but Qian Qianyi was also dealt with. If it was really a false accusation, if the officials from all border areas were making injustice for him, and with the eunuch Cao Huachun, standing by his side, how could he be punished?

Fourth, Qian Qianyi is a big landlord in Changshu, and he dominated the country. He is a bit like Xu Jie, the chief assistant during the Jiajing period. He was also famous for his Qingming Festival and his opponent of the treacherous minister Yan Song and the good man Xu Jie. But in fact, almost the entire land in his hometown belongs to him Xu Jie. There are so many illegal things in this, but because of his reputation, his official position has never been done.

However, Xu Jie was also unlucky. When he met Hai Rui, the biggest minister in the Ming Dynasty, who dared to write a letter to scold the emperor, how could he be afraid that he would be the chief assistant? The insistence on investigating ultimately revealed Xu Jie's true form.

Emperor Chongzhen thought a little far away when he heard the name Qian Qianyi. However, Liu Xingzuo's report made him come back to his senses and listen quietly: "...The leader of this Jin Qianyi's clan member is Qian Qianyi's clan. Although the Jin Guogang is not famous, according to the last few days of investigation, he has done a lot of things, but he is rarely reported."

"In addition, according to the man's report, he was following the mysterious man, and was the manager of a wealthy merchant in Huzhou. The wealthy merchant was named Qian Degui, and he was also a member of Qian Qianyi's clan. According to the relationship, Qian Qianyi should be called his cousin."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but feel excited and immediately asked: "Is it possible to find out that it was Qian Qianyi's instructions?"

If Qian Qianyi had instructed him, although he had a great potential in the officialdom in Shilin, Jiangnan, he would not mind dealing with Qian Qianyi well.

After hearing this, Liu Xingzuo hesitated for a while, and truthfully reported: "There is no sign yet that it was Qian Qianyi's instructions."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he thought for a while and said to Liu Xingzuo: "Okay, then wait and see. I want to see if Qian Qianyi will jump out."

Staying here seems to feel a little bit like a vague feeling. Occasionally changing the environment like this seems to feel good.

When Liu Xingzuo heard this, he seemed to want to say something, but when he saw Emperor Chongzhen's in high spirits, he finally said nothing, and took the order and left and continued to arrange things.

Hu Silk has started to go public and the transaction has begun. Qian Degui did not notice at all, and he has been monitored. He was anxious about the huge interests of Nanxun Town, so he stepped up his oppression of Chen Youming, allowing him to quickly get what he wanted.

Then he took an agreement brought back by the manager, which clearly stated clearly and clearly the distribution of the interests of Nanxun Town. Of course, if a person like him does too much, it is impossible for him to just take a bite by tyranny. In black and white, while Qian's huge benefits were obtained, he also gave Chen Youming part of it.

With the agreement, Qian Degui couldn't help but feel in a good mood and said, "In this way, it's time to meet with Township Mayor Chen."

"Master, what if Chen Youming knows the master's identity and holds a grudge?" His manager said with a little concern, "We have asked someone to tie his son these days. Master, you haven't seen it. He is exhausted and seems to have not closed his eyes for several days or nights."

He was right. Except for Chen Youming was really worried about his son at the beginning and never slept, when the commander of the Jinyiwei appeared, he no longer worried about his son. However, in order not to make outsiders suspect, he forced himself to sleep. Then the fatigue was real, not pretending.

When Qian Degui heard this, he didn't care at all. He Yang Yang said in his hand: "The black and white words are all written! Even if he doesn't want to admit his account..."

Speaking of this, when he saw the manager open his mouth and knew what he wanted to say, he added: "He Chen Youming has the relationship with the emperor and can scare others, but it is not enough to face us!"

Speaking of this, Qian Degui sneered, then said, "The emperor lives in the palace, how could he contact him just by just wanting to contact him? Maybe the emperor has to do everything he has to do every day and forget him, the eighth-rank official!"

Speaking of this, he threw the agreement on the table, picked up the best West Lake Longjing tea and took a sip, moistened his throat, and then said with contempt: "He, Chen Youming, was just a lowly friend before. If it weren't for the emperor, he would have been destroyed by his patriarch! So what if such a person becomes an eighth-rank official? Who can he know in the officialdom? Can his foundation in the officialdom be better than our Qian family?"

The manager nodded repeatedly after hearing this, but then he seemed to remember something and said a little worriedly: "When his family first looked for his son, the prefect sent someone to care about it!"

Actually, I want to refute what he said, Chen Youming still has some official relationship. After all, this is true and many people know it.

Unexpectedly, Qian Degui sneered and said, "Silly, do you think the prefect really has a good relationship with him Chen Youming? The prefect did this to show others and the emperor. If something happened to the Chen family, if the emperor accidentally finds out one day, he will be able to deal with it."

Speaking of this, he stood up and said confidently: "For people like Chen Youming who have no foundation in the officialdom, as long as they don't know how to fight and kill, there is no problem in how to control him. Let's go, don't worry, it's time to meet him officially."

The manager thought about the person standing behind his master, and then thought about what he said just now. He finally felt relieved and immediately arranged Qian Degui's trip.

As it was almost evening, the middle-aged man from the Jinqian Gang returned to his house and reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the gang leader asked me to take the son of the Township Chief Chen to meet with Qian Degui tomorrow and go to the Chen family together."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head and looked at Chen Jingzhong who was playing with scissors and stone cloth with his two concubines. Then he thought for a while and asked, "Will your gang leader come together?"

"It shouldn't be." The middle-aged man didn't know what he meant, but he still replied quickly, "If the gang leader came together, he shouldn't explain the matter of the villain's connection with Qian Degui."

"In this case, Qian Degui probably doesn't know you two, right?" Emperor Chongzhen asked again when he heard this.

After receiving the affirmative reply, he turned to Liu Xingzuo, who was standing next to him, and said, "You choose someone to take Chen Jingzhong, so you can dress up as his companion to meet up with you, and secretly send someone to follow you, so you can't let something happen to Chen Jingzhong."

"I will obey the order!" Liu Xingzuo responded quickly when he heard this. This matter was just a trivial matter for him.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, I heard that Chen Youming kept the house I lived in before very well, so let's go and rest tonight. I want to see what Qian Degui will say tomorrow!"

When Concubine Tian learned about this situation, she ordered Chen Jingzhong to say, "You can go home tomorrow. Remember, don't talk, is it okay to be a mute all day?"

"Why?" Chen Jingzhong asked with a little confusion, flashing his big eyes.

After hearing this, Concubine Tian smiled and said, "When you are a mute one day, you will have delicious pastries tomorrow. Do you want to eat them?"

"Yes!" Chen Jingzhong nodded immediately, very seriously.

Seeing this, Concubine Tian reached out and rubbed his head. She had seen it in the past two days that the best way to deal with children is not to reason, but to give delicious food.

After it got dark, Chen Youming's family, who had received the notice, were waiting in the gate. Except for the gatekeeper, the servants in the house asked them to stay in their house and not come out. The couple looked up at the night sky from time to time, and looked at me again, and I looked at you, it was obvious that they were both very excited.

The concierge on the side wondered, what is the master and his wife doing? Waiting for someone? No, the prefect came here before, but he didn't see the master and his wife being so excited!

He was thinking about it when he heard a knock on the door.

When Chen Youming heard this, he immediately whispered: "Just like on weekdays, don't behave abnormally. By the way, you must be respectful and don't have any disrespect."

"..." When the doorman said this, he didn't know how to open the door. He was even more puzzled. Who was coming to this night?

When he opened the door, he saw that there were a group of people. The leader was a young man and two girls together, and he seemed to be a wealthy person.

After the concierge saw it clearly, he was a little unaware of what to do to meet the master's requirements.

When he was struggling, Emperor Chongzhen stepped into the door by himself.

The concierge was a little stupid and had no expression. He really didn't know what to do. In the end, even the door was closed by the people who came in.

As soon as the gate was closed, Chen Youming, his wife and daughter who were hiding, all flashed out and fell to the ground immediately, worshiped the court with great gifts, and whispered: "I bow to Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

Chen Youming could still say it, but his wife was already choked up and couldn't even say it.

The great disaster of the Chen family was once again cracked by the emperor himself. How can such a great kindness be repaid?

The emperor lacks nothing, so he can only establish a card of immortality and pray to the emperor every day that he will live a hundred years of life, no, long live a long life!

The doorman next to him couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he heard his master's words, and was extremely surprised. Emperor... The emperor is here?
