    In the first year of the Apocalypse, March 11th is a good time for weddings and funerals, but avoid moving.  Looking at the memorial in front of him, Emperor Tianqi smiled bitterly and shook his head. Then he looked at Queen Zhang who was still reading the memorial. He said impatiently: "Don't look at it, there is nothing!"  After putting down the memorial, Empress Zhang smiled calmly and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't be upset about this matter. Wasn't it already expected?" Shaking his head with a wry smile, Emperor Tianqi looked at  Chen Hong, who was standing aside, said with some helplessness: "Send all these memorials to the Supervisor of Ceremonies and tell them that all petitions for a retrial of Zhang Juzheng's case will be kept without notice, and the other memorials will be brought to me!  "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will do it now!" Chen Hong said respectfully as he saluted Emperor Tianqi.  Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi asked in a deep voice: "How is the matter that I asked you to investigate? How is the situation outside now?" "Back to Your Majesty, the investigation is almost done. There are rumors outside that Your Majesty wants to investigate."  The people in the capital were very happy about the news of the retrial of Zhang Juzheng, and they all said that your Majesty is a wise king, and the Ming Dynasty is expected to be rejuvenated!" Although it was good news, there was no joy in Chen Hong's face, nor in his words.  Quite serious.  Nodding noncommittally, Emperor Tianqi smiled calmly and said with a mocking look: "These people really spare no effort and leave no room for change for me. If I don't do what they say, I will be called a fool."  It¡¯s decided. But if you do what they say, you will play into their hands. How smart!¡± He waved his hand to Chen Hong, and said in a deep voice: ¡°Go ahead!¡±  Not very good, Queen Zhang came over gently, took Emperor Tianqi's hand, and comforted softly: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, just think about what to do!" "This is the so-called saint's disciple, a humble gentleman,  Is it the duty of a minister to force the emperor? If you are unkind, then you can't blame me!" Emperor Tianqi smiled coldly, his expression was quite serious, it was obvious that he had made some important decision!  Regarding Emperor Tianqi¡¯s decision, Empress Zhang was not prepared to say anything. As a woman, she should not have participated in these matters.  If Emperor Tianqi hadn't asked him to approve the memorial, and he wanted to spend more time with Emperor Tianqi, he would not have approved the memorial.  Smiling indifferently, Empress Zhang said softly: "Your Majesty, when I was in my hometown, I heard my father say something. As a superior, serving as a subordinate is a science. As an emperor, your Majesty is a minister of the entire dynasty.  They are all His Majesty's subordinates. If there are too many people, there will be all kinds of people. If you really don't like them, just send them away. Don't worry about it.  This anger will hurt your body, and the gain will not be worth it! Besides, Your Majesty is still young, and there is still a long time! There is no need to be angry with those old guys, they still have a few days to live!" Emperor Tianqi gently held Queen Zhang's hand.  Smiling and saying: "I feel a lot better after hearing you say that! That's right! Managing a big country is like cooking a small dish, you can't rush it!" Seeing that Emperor Tianqi's mood improved a lot, Empress Zhang said with a smile: "Then this  What are you going to do about this matter?" Emperor Tianqi smiled solemnly: "What should I do? Are these traps for me? I have no choice but to resort to traps.  Just play with them. Sometimes it¡¯s a good idea to take care of other things. As the saying goes, you have your own way, and I have my way. Let me see whose way works. ¡±  Nodding, Queen Zhang seemed to be quite curious and said: "Your Majesty, what do you want to do? Let me know!" "This? I want to use another thing to catch these people off guard. If not,  I am very passive when it comes to entangled with these people, but if it were another matter, it would not be the case! If Bao Zhu wants to know, then give me a prince first, otherwise there is no need to talk!  After pinching Queen Zhang's petite nose, Emperor Tianqi laughed and said.  Emperor Tianqi was teasing the beautiful woman, but Xu Xianchun was not in the mood. At this time, this colleague of Jin Yiwei finally showed his face.  There was a burning charcoal brazier with red-hot irons inside, and various torture instruments were placed in the room.  Tiger stools, clamping sticks, leather whips, etc. are all available.  Looking at the person tied to the wooden frame, Xu Xianchun sat gently on a chair on the side and said with a smile: "General Lu Shen, Xu knows that you are a man. I also admire generals who can kill enemies on the battlefield, but  Xu was forced to do so! I hope the general won't blame him!" Lu Lin smiled and nodded, and said quite generously: "I didn't expect there was someone like you among the Jinyi Guards, but Lu knew what he was saying.  Previous?, Lu did everything. Lu admitted everything. Bring me the confession and I'll sign it!  " Slowly stood up and walked slowly to Lu Lin's side. Xu Xianchun said playfully: "General Lu, Xu came to investigate the Liaodong case under His Majesty's imperial decree. Do you know if I hand over the case like this?  , what will Xu get?  " "Of course I got promoted and made a fortune. After all, it's a great achievement!  "Lu Lin looked at Xu Xianchun and said with a smile. Shaking his head gently, Xu Xianchun said in a deep voice: "General Lu is joking. You should know that if I hand it over like this, I will definitely be sent to prison.  I am the one who is being interrogated, even if my house is ransacked and my family is exterminated!  " Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xu Xianchun sighed deeply and said in a deep voice: "General Lu, am I talking about your general's thoughts or am I saying that you are stupid?  " Lu Lin's face suddenly turned red, and he said very dissatisfied: "What are you talking about?  You want to kill or scrape me, why do you want to humiliate me?  " "Because you lied to me, do you think I am a fool?  You have the greatest authority in arresting people this time.  But in your house, only 800,000 taels of silver were copied. Although 800,000 taels is not a small amount, compared with the huge profits from collaborating with the enemy, it is extremely small!  A merchant who resold grain also had 800,000 taels found in his home, and the merchant who resold private salt had 1.2 million taels.  Although the three of you are the big ones, yours is the most abnormal among them!  Do you think you are stupid or am I?  "Pull Lu Lin's clothes, Xu Xianchun said loudly. "This, Mr. Xu, Lu doesn't quite understand what you mean!  "Glancing at Xu Xianchun, Lu Lin said with a smile. "Okay!  Since you are pretending to be stupid, let me tell you.  I have already examined the two merchants. One of them sells grain and the other sells private salt.  Although the items sold are different, the money given is the same.  Your profits are based on 30-70, they are 3-7, you are 7-7!  In other words, your money should be twice the sum of their two sums. This is correct.  "Slowly walking around the room, Xu Xianchun said calmly, without any emotion in his voice. "But what about the facts?  The fact is that the two of them combined have two million taels, but you only have eight hundred thousand taels.  If you follow your share ratio, you should have more than four million taels of silver. Then General Lu, could you please tell me where those four million taels of silver went?  "Patting Lu Lin's face gently, Xu Xianchun said with a smile. Smiling loudly, Lu Lin looked at Xu Xianchun and said in a deep voice: "Are you crazy?  How could there be so much money here?  Are you crazy about being poor?  " Smiling indifferently, Xu Xianchun said gently: "Liaodong is a place that leads to Mongolia to the west and North Korea and Jiannu to the east. What is this?  This is a place to make a fortune.  If it weren't for the strict inspection by the court, it would definitely not be this mere seven to eight million taels of silver. You have been in Liaodong for many years. Do you think this money is too much for you over the years?  " Looking straight at Xu Xianchun, Lu Lin said with a smile: "Actually, it's not much at all. Eight million taels in eight years, only one million taels a year!  In fact, it¡¯s really not much, but do you know where all the money went?  " Nodding slowly, Xu Xianchun said with a smile: "Very good, as long as you admit that there is someone behind you. Xu didn't wrong you, right?  " "So what if I don't admit it?  Do you think differently?  "Lu Lin raised his head and said loudly. "Of course, I recognized this, because my idea is right!  As far as I know, General Lu has a younger brother who went out of the city with General He during the Shenyang battle.  After the battle, Marshal Sun sent people to collect the corpses, but your brother's body was not found.  I wonder if General Lu can tell Xu the whereabouts of your brother?  Xu is grateful!  "Picking up the soldering iron wrapped in cloth and turning it gently, Xu Xianchun asked with a smile. "What's so strange about the lack of a body on the battlefield? Thousands of people, who knows where they are!"  "Lu Lin looked at Xu Xianchun with a sneer and said loudly. Slowly shaking his head and smiling playfully, Xu Xianchun said expressionlessly: "General Lu, Xu always thought you were a straightforward man, but I didn't expect you to be the same.  So many twists and turns.  Marshal Sun was using a counterintuitive strategy. He needed someone to find Jian Nu and send him the news from the city.  If I guess correctly, this person is your brother, right?  " Looking at Xu Xianchun coldly, Lu Lin said loudly: "You know it all, and you still ask me after you know it?  Is that what they told you?  " Putting the soldering iron back, Xu Xianchun sat on the chair again, and then said with a smile: "General Lu, your subordinates are not as troublesome as you. When Xu asked, they all said it, but they are better than you.  Know the current situation and many things.  They told me that it was you who originally agreed to open the city gate, so you were worried about others, so you asked your brother to deliver the message.  Just that dayThe people they sent to open the city gate were wiped out as soon as they came out!  "(To be continued.
