Chapter 95 Sun Zhong is afraid of the cold
Sun Zhong stared at Sun Jizong and questioned. They all had positions in Jinyiwei. Although they didn't do anything, they were still influential.

When Sun Jizong heard Sun Zhong's question, he also smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Dad, after Wang Ying's assessment, basically all of our people are in the lower class. I just asked someone to inquire about it, and there is some news. I heard that The fourth brother had received a lot of money from some people before, ranging from a thousand taels to 5000 taels. Within two months of taking office, some were directly dismissed and became bannermen, and some became soldiers. They were not convinced. I went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to report it!”

"What, report to the Procuratorate?" After hearing this, Sun Zhong looked at Sun Jizong in shock.

"Yes, there must be some misunderstanding. If they come and ask the fourth brother for their money back, I believe the fourth brother will give it to them!" Sun Jizong nodded.

"Do you know who it is? Go find them immediately and return the money to them, no, no, no!" Sun Zhong just wanted to return the money to those people, but suddenly remembered that something seemed wrong.

Sun Jizong and the others just looked at Sun Zhong, who was sitting there thinking, feeling that something was wrong.

"Dad, do you think it's strange? They didn't come to us to ask for money, so they went to report it. How could they do this?" Sun Jizong continued to sit there and complained.

Sun Zhongcai felt that something was wrong. It was not just Sun Xunzong who accepted the money. All four of them accepted the money, and there were other people who also accepted it. Why was only the fourth child in his family involved?

"If you go and ask again, go and ask immediately. After you find out clearly, see who they reported. Also, ask clearly why they reported without asking for money. Is there someone who instigated it? Go quickly!" Sun Zhong said to him. Sun Jizong ordered.

Sun Jizong immediately said: "I have already given the order, and now I am still asking for information!"

At this moment, Sun Xianzong next to him looked at Sun Zhong, then at Sun Jizong, and then said: "Dad, there is a rumor outside, which may be detrimental to our house!"

"What rumors?" Sun Zhong asked subconsciously.

"To be exact, there are two. One is that Lin Cunde was assassinated before, and there were rumors in the city that our family was responsible. The other is that the richest person in the capital is not Wang Ying, but our family. The Queen Mother's money is all from us. It is controlled by our family, so our family is as rich as the country!" Sun Xianzong said with a heavy face.

"What?" Sun Zhong's expression changed drastically when he heard these two pieces of news.

Sun Jizong was also furious at this moment: "Who is spreading such nonsense? Jin Yiwei is still investigating Lin Cunde's assassination. It has nothing to do with our family. Those who say that our family is rich and rival the country have ulterior motives!"

Sun Zhong sat there, feeling a little cold all over, and couldn't help but fold his arms.

"Dad, I feel cold, hurry up, turn on the charcoal fire!" Sun Jizong first noticed something was wrong with Sun Zhong and immediately shouted.

Sun Xianzong and Sun Shaozong also immediately went to add charcoal to the fire, while Sun Jizong went to hold Sun Zhong in his arms. Sun Zhong was not young, already 73. He should have been enjoying his old age, but now he had to worry about many things that he shouldn't worry about.

"Boss, the person who came here is evil! These two rumors, which put our Sun family on the fire, are just trivial matters. They are directed at your sister. This time, the fourth child may have more misfortunes. Someone wants to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. Come on!" Sun Zhong held Sun Jizong's hand tightly and stared at Sun Jizong with cloudy eyes.

"Dad, it's okay. As long as my sister is still in the harem, it will be fine. My fourth brother will definitely be fine. I will go to the palace later to find the Queen Mother!" Sun Jizong had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter. , thinking that as long as the Queen Mother Sun is found, the fourth brother can be released. It is not like this has never happened before.

"It's useless, don't go, don't go!" Sun Zhong shook his head.

"Dad!" Sun Jizong looked at Sun Zhong in confusion. If he didn't go, wouldn't he be asking Sun Xuzong to spend the night in Fusi, Beizhen, and suffer?Where is Beizhen Fusi?That place was hell for officials.

Sun Zhong closed his eyes sadly at this moment. Those two rumors would kill the Sun family.

Although everyone was guessing before, guesses are just guesses. Without evidence, no one can point to the Sun family and say that they assassinated Lin Cunde. But now, rumors are flying all over the sky. If the real murderer cannot be found, then it is the Sun family who did it. And, The most terrifying thing is that the Sun family helps the Queen Mother manage her money and is as rich as the country.

The Sun family is rich, but they dare not say that their wealth can rival the country.

Now that Zhu Qiyu is the emperor and the treasury is empty, isn't this a knife to Zhu Qiyu?

Moreover, there is obviously something behind the fact that so many people are collecting money just to arrest their own fourth son.

"Don't worry about the Fourth Brother. Have you finished the thing you asked me to do?" Sun Zhong sighed. Now he can only hope to reach an agreement with Wala quickly and let the Supreme Emperor return to the capital as soon as possible.

"It's been done again. It will take at most three days to gather them all!" Sun Jizong immediately replied. "Okay, hurry up and do it, be careful! Don't leak the news, otherwise, our family will be in disaster!" Sun Zhong leaned on Sun Jizong and confessed.

In Lin Cunde's mansion, Wang Ying came. This time Wang Ying brought thirty more guards, all of whom were in the army before.

Of course Lin Cunde welcomes it. Now that someone wants to kill him, it is always good to have more guards at home. Besides, he is not short of money.

"Uncle, drink tea!" Lin Cunde poured tea for Wang Ying and said with a smile.

"Well, I originally wanted to come over yesterday afternoon, but I still had things to do, so I didn't come. Your Majesty attaches great importance to the training method you wrote, and has already asked the cabinet and the Ministry of War to discuss it! However, this matter, I guess your Majesty, It's just wishful thinking!" Wang Ying looked at Lin Cunde with a wry smile and said.

Lin Cunde was surprised when he heard this. Wishful thinking?What's the meaning?
Wang Ying did not deliberately show off in front of Lin Cunde, and continued: "Yesterday, I wanted to persuade His Majesty, but when I thought that His Majesty attached so much importance to the training method and was so happy, I didn't want to interrupt his interest. Ministers, interrupt me! The cabinet and the Ministry of War may not agree, and the cabinet will definitely not agree. The Ministry of War, I am a bit dissatisfied with Yu Qian. Although this person is a civil servant, sometimes he does not act like a civil servant. !”

"Why don't you agree?" Lin Cunde was very confused. Training methods and strengthening the army to defend the country are good things. How can the cabinet disagree?
Wang Ying smiled bitterly again and said: "My child, you are still too young. You don't understand many things. Those civil servants are bad. They talk about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism and the country every day, but in private they are male thieves and female prostitutes, eager to enrich the people. After all the looting, they are the worst!"

When Lin Cunde heard this, he shook his head and said: "Uncle Shi, you can't be so absolute. The Ming Dynasty has been in existence for more than seventy years, but there are still some honest officials!"

"Ha!" Wang Ying smiled contemptuously and continued: "Do you know why the cabinet won't agree?"

Lin Cunde glanced at Wang Ying, shook his head and said: "I don't know, please ask Shibo to clarify my doubts!"

"Because the civil servants least want the army to be strong, and they don't want His Majesty to control a powerful army. If His Majesty controls a powerful army, they are worried that their heads will be in danger, and they are worried that Your Majesty will kill them at any time!" Wang Ying gritted her teeth, He said harshly.

When Lin Cunde heard this, he smiled bitterly. Lin Cunde knew this, but now that the military power is still in the hands of His Majesty, are the civil servants still fighting for it? The reconstruction of the three battalions of the capital has been completed, and those ministers still don't give up?
"If they can weaken His Majesty's military power, they will not let it go. Just watch it. I don't care what the higher-ups decide on this training method. Our Fifth Military Camp will definitely implement it!" Wang Ying said firmly, He can't control the other armies now. Although he also serves as the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Army, one fifth army camp is enough for him to worry about now, and he doesn't want to have too much control over the other armies.

Managing the Fifth Military Camp well is the top priority. After the Fifth Military Camp is trained, we will then train other guard posts controlled by the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion.

"Yes, but my nephew has never thought about asking His Majesty to train the army according to the training method. Besides, whether this training method is feasible or not, my nephew still lacks confidence. What can be said on paper still needs to be trained. Only then did you know!" Lin Cunde nodded and expressed his thoughts. '

The training method was written by Wang Ying for the Fifth Military Camp. The purpose was also to train the Fifth Military Camp. As for whether other armies would train according to this method, Lin Cunde didn't care now.

"Well, things have to be done step by step. In fact, the cabinet refuted it, which is better, so that His Majesty can be more awake!" Wang Ying said with a proud smile.

Lin Cunde also looked at Wang Ying with a smile.

The dispute between civil servants and military generals has never stopped, and Wang Ying is no exception.

Lin Cunde couldn't help but think of Yu Qian, so he said: "You said that Yu Shaobao has no objection, but you don't know? Why do you say that?"

"Hmm!" When Wang Ying heard this, he touched his beard, thought for a while, and said: "I can't figure him out. This person is a bit ignorant and disrespectful. What he did makes me don't know how to treat him. , what if he was a civil servant? He commanded the army and won the battle to defend the capital. He also seemed not to care about the civil servants' struggle for military power. However, it would be wrong to say that he was a military general. He did not speak out for the military generals. So I can’t understand him! However, sometimes, I still admire him!”

Lin Cunde nodded slightly and said, "I heard that Yu Shaobao was checking the army. How is the effect?"

"Ha!" Wang Ying smiled and Yao Lao shook his head.

"It doesn't work?" Lin Cunde continued to ask.

"He can clean it up if he wants to. Military generals like to stick together the most. How can he, a minister of the Ministry of War, tear things apart easily? Besides, aren't those officials in the Ministry of War corrupt? Give them some money and report it to them. There are no problems in the end!" Wang Ying said sarcastically. He looked down on civil servants from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Cunde then asked again: "Well, Uncle Yi Shi, do you want to clean it up?"
