() "Oh, there is still 35 taels of silver, which I plan to save for Uncle Zhongxing's living expenses." Emperor Chongzhen listened to the explanation, and then turned back to the throne.

"Could it be that Uncle Zhongxing made that cement?" Bi Ziyan asked pleasantly upon hearing this.

"Not yet." Emperor Chongzhen sat back on the throne, then looked at Bi Ziyan and shook his head.

"Then..." Bi Ziyan was a little disappointed, and wanted to ask for the 35 yuan, but he couldn't open his mouth.

"I can't let Uncle Zhongxing make things, but I don't have any silver to burn them for him? Besides, as long as Uncle Zhongxing burns out cement, other profitable things will follow, and then he will establish a state-owned enterprise. There are plenty of places. I only prepared 35 taels for Uncle Zhongxing just because of your difficulties." Emperor Chongzhen explained.

When Bi Ziyan heard it, it made sense, but there were other things in Emperor Chongzhen's words that he didn't seem to know before, so he asked: "Your Majesty, what else will be made, and what is a state-owned enterprise?" ?”

"Hehe, let's wait for Uncle Zhongxing to make it." Emperor Chongzhen decided not to announce it for the time being, because Zhong Jinwei didn't promise him.

Bi Ziyan was very curious and wanted to ask again. At this time, Wen Tiren came to see him.

The chief assistant of the cabinet rests at home, and the second assistant is the head of the cabinet and the head of all officials.

After Wen Tiren saluted, he played: "Your Majesty, the Chief Assistant is not feeling well, so he handed in his resignation letter to the cabinet, requesting to retire and return home."

Emperor Chongzhen actually knew that Cheng Ji's life was not clean, but he had to consider the impact if he wanted to move the chief assistant of Ming Dynasty.Regarding the assassination of Bo Zhongxing, there is no direct evidence to prove that Cheng Jiming was an accomplice, so the Emperor Chongzhen just informed Cheng Jiming.

Cheng Jiming's performance in the cabinet has not been liked by Emperor Chongzhen.Now he consciously proposes to retire and return to his hometown, which just saves himself effort.After Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, he left the resignation letter without approval.

Both Wen Tiren and Bi Ziyan knew what it meant to stay in the middle school, and of course Cheng Jiming knew it too, so they submitted their resignations and proposed resignation again.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year in the third year of Chongzhen, Cheng Ji, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty with the shortest tenure, was ordered to retire and return home. Wen Tiren became the new first assistant of the Ming Dynasty.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year in the third year of Chongzhen, Liang Shixun, the former Marquis of Baoding, and Li Fengxiang, the former admiral of the Beijing Camp, were sent to Caishikou for execution for treason, and the Beijing Camp general Xiaowei who participated in the assassination case was also executed.

The execution of the assassination of Zhong Xingbo was so fast, it was far from comparable to the previous Wei Ni case.Emperor Chongzhen considered that this is an extraordinary period, and if it is delayed, it will cause turmoil in the hearts of the people, which is not conducive to the stability of the capital and the war against Jianlu.In addition, there is also the intention to show his determination and deter potential similar Xiaoxiao.

All the Beijing camps stayed in the camp and were not allowed to go out, and were monitored by the Wu Huan of the Yumajian.The order of the execution was maintained by the commanding department of soldiers and horses of the five cities and some of the King Qin's army outside the city.

All the civil servants in the capital lost their voices on this matter.There are several reasons. One is that Liang and Li were convicted of treason, so no one would dare to touch it, which is too serious; Do it, there is no guarantee that when you offend them, you will also do it to yourself. You can go to Zhongxingbo to kill him, but you can't kill him privately. It's crossing the line.As for Liang and Li drinking Jingying's blood, it was not the reason why they did not save them.

The people in the city looked at the men from the former Baoding Hou's mansion who were crying and screaming in the prison car, and talked a lot.

"I really ate the ambition of a leopard, and dared to kill even the gods. This is retribution."

"Yeah, dare to collude with horse thieves outside the city, kill hundreds of people without killing a single one, it's beyond self-control."

"I've heard people say that Uncle Zhongxing got an arrow in his chest, and it went through his back. He was fine, so he pulled out the arrow and killed the horse thief while talking and laughing."

"You heard me wrong. Uncle Zhongxing was shot with eighteen arrows in his chest, and the arrows pierced through his heart. This is the news that my neighbor Lai Er's second uncle's brother-in-law is working in Dongchang."

"That's for sure. The gods sent by the Jade Emperor to assist the emperor cannot be the gods of three-legged cats. They must have great supernatural powers."

"..."

At this time, Zhong Jinwei was unaware of the weird and strange talks that the people of the capital had expressed to him. He was immersed in excitement, and the new kiln was completed ahead of schedule today.

Zhong Jinwei praised Wu Sheng Dalian who came to report, and then took An Guiyi to prepare for a visit.

At this time, a captain of Jinyiwei came to report to Wang Chengen, the admiral of Dongchang, and Xu Guangqi, the left servant of the Ministry of rites, came to see him.

Zhong Jinwei was taken aback when he heard this, and then he was ecstatic. The big man is here, and he hurried out to greet him.When An Guiyi heard that his godfather was coming, he did not lag behind Zhong Jinwei, and went to greet him together.

Originally, Wang Chengen could come in directly, after all, he is the leader of these guards.But he respected Zhong Jinwei, so he asked someone to report first.

Xu Guangqi was quite surprised by this incident. The East Factory Master treated Uncle Zhongxing so carefully.It seems that the emperor sent himself to work under his command, not to say that he underestimated himself, but that Uncle Zhongxing held a heavy weight.

Before Xu Guangqi came, Emperor Chongzhen had explained to him the purpose of sending him here, and Xu Guangqi was very grateful.But on the other hand, it is quite satisfying for a 68-year-old man to do technical work under a young guy and accept the favor.

Xu Guangqi stood at the gate of the ceramics factory, facing the Jin Yiwei and Dongchang fan guards on both sides of the gate, with a conflicted mood, waiting to see the new star that suddenly appeared in Daming.

When Zhong Jinwei walked quickly to the front yard, through the open gate, he saw Wang Chengen at the door, and hurriedly greeted him with his arms folded, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you are here. Please forgive me for my sins."

Zhong Jinwei has been in the Ming Dynasty for so long and has experienced assassination incidents, so he has paid more attention to human relations than before.Wang Chengen was the top leader of the Ming Dynasty's secret service agency, and he was often protected by his subordinates. Therefore, Zhong Jinwei was not stingy with his enthusiasm.

Seeing Zhong Jinwei's enthusiasm, Wang Chengen was also happy in his heart. He cupped his hands and returned the salute: "Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it."

At this time, Zhong Jinwei had already walked to the door and met them.Then he looked at the old official standing next to Wang Chengen, wearing a peacock scarf robe, of medium height, with a thin face, probably a hard worker.

Seeing Zhong Jinwei's appearance, Wang Chengen introduced: "Uncle Zhongxing, this is Xu Guangqi Xu Shilang whom you highly recommended to the emperor."

"Xu Shilang, this is the young and promising Uncle Zhongxing." Wang Chengen turned to Xu Guangqi again and introduced Zhong Jinwei to him.

Sure enough, it was Xu Guangqi, and Zhong Jinwei hurriedly bowed his hands and bowed: "I have admired Mr. Xu for a long time, and I saw him today, and he is really extraordinary." The flattery he learned from TV dramas was sent over.

Xu Guangqi was a little puzzled as to why Uncle Zhongxing respected him so much. He thought that being young would always be impetuous, and he was kind to himself, which was somewhat arrogant.I didn't expect to be so courteous and virtuous.

Thinking about it, Xu Guangqi was not slow in action, and quickly returned the courtesy: "I dare not be an official, thank you Uncle Zhongxing for your recommendation."

Seeing that the two of them were polite, Wang Chengen interrupted with a smile: "It's cold and windy outside, so go inside and talk."

Zhong Jinwei smiled embarrassedly, and quickly led them to sit in the lobby of the ceramics factory.

Zhong Jinwei sat at the top, and Wang Chengen and Xu Guangqi sat on the left and right respectively.An Guiyi didn't have a chance to speak, and kept standing on the side making soy sauce, while Zhong Jinwei asked him to serve tea to treat the guests.

Naturally, Wang Chengen didn't have time to talk to him, and said to Zhong Jinwei: "Uncle Zhongxing, our family came here today at the order of the emperor. There are two things."

"Please say."

"One is that the emperor attaches great importance to the situation here, and specially asked our family to accompany Xu Shilang over here. You should discuss more and strive to complete the cement research and development as soon as possible."

Zhong Jinwei nodded: "That's for sure, I still have to ask Mr. Xu for advice."

Wang Chengen smiled, thinking that this is the best, and then continued: "Secondly, the emperor asked our family to tell Uncle Zhongxing that Liang Shixun and Li Fengxiang have ordered the whole family to be executed today. It is not only the court's law, but also Zhongxing Bo an explanation."

An Guiyi had brought tea over at this time, and Wang Chengen served a cup courteously first, followed by Zhong Jinwei, and then Xu Guangqi.

Zhong Jinwei listened to the message conveyed by Wang Chengen, and he didn't feel the joy of revenge. He pondered for a while, but nodded and said: "Understood, thank you, Your Majesty, for making decisions for my ministers."

Seeing that Zhong Jinwei did not have that overjoyed expression, Wang Chengen was slightly disappointed.Now that the word has been delivered, he will not stay any longer, and said to Zhong Jinwei: "Our family still has something to do, so I won't bother Uncle Zhongxing."

Zhong Jinwei hurriedly got up to see him off, and asked Wang Chengen to tell Emperor Chongzhen that he would live up to the emperor's trust.After sending it to the hall, Wang Chengen asked him to stop and not send it away.Zhong Jinwei asked An Guiyi to send Wang Chengen out for him, which was exactly what An Guiyi wanted, and he agreed repeatedly.

After seeing off Wang Chengen, only Zhong Jinwei and Xu Guangqi were left in the lobby.
