Borrow the day to change the day

When Sun Chengzong heard Zhong Jinwei ask this question, he looked at the Dongchang Fan behind him, hesitated for a while, and then said: "The emperor ordered Jinyiwei to arrest corrupt officials. It is beyond control. Now all the yamen of the imperial court can't do things normally. , All the yamen, including the Sixth Department, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and the Twelve Prisons in the palace, are all involved, as well as the generals in the army, plus the Beijing camp that was originally disposed of, all civil and military officials have corruption suspects."

Zhong Jinwei was taken aback when he heard this, and asked, "Why did things become so big all of a sudden?"

He knows the corruption of Ming officials, closes his eyes, arrests ten casually, nine will not be wronged.Zhong Jinwei agreed with Emperor Chongzhen's catching these moths, but he didn't expect to make such a big noise just by catching them.

Standing behind Zhong Jinwei, Gu Baichuan, Wang Peng and others looked at each other, and were a little surprised that someone from the East Factory to which they belonged was also arrested, so they quickly listened attentively to the conversation between Sun Chengzong and Zhong Jinwei.

"In the beginning, the emperor wanted to investigate the officials who had resigned, but it turned out that there was a major corruption case. After Jin Yiwei arrested a group of people based on this clue, the original momentum has tended to ease, and the number of people arrested has begun to decrease." [

Sun Chengzong explained the incident to Zhong Jinwei. When he said this, he was a little scruples about going to the East Factory, but thinking that this was the case, he continued: "I didn't expect that many people were interrogated by the third division. The observers in the East Factory reminded the omissions and obtained new clues."

"Then it becomes a situation where all the yamen are involved now?" Zhong Jinwei said in surprise.

"That happened a few days ago. At that time, the emperor ordered the reserve officials to fill in the vacancies. There was no such a bad scene." Sun Chengzong added the time slot so that Zhong Jinwei would not be confused.

"Then how did the kung fu become like this in a few days?" Zhong Jinwei was puzzled, the speed was too fast.

"I don't know why, the number of people implicated in the interrogations of Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Sanjudi suddenly increased, as if they were competing with each other, and it became like this in a few days." Sun Chengzong also frowned.

"Is it torture to extract a confession, or even if it is true corruption, it would not be so easy to recruit, so many accomplices have been confessed in just a few days?" Zhong Jinwei asked Sun Chengzong if there was such a possibility.

Sun Chengzong shook his head: "As far as I know, some officials who were arrested initially accused Jin Yiwei of using torture, but later, especially in the past few days, the officials who were arrested were very happy to recruit."

Zhong Jinwei was an observer, and he came to a conclusion immediately: "Oh, I understand, the law does not blame the public!"

In fact, he mentioned this to Emperor Chongzhen in the past. At that time, he also mentioned to Emperor Chongzhen the background of the establishment of the ICAC in Hong Kong.

More than half of Sun Chengzong's thoughts were on the matter of Jianlu, so he never figured out the essence of what happened in the capital.Now that Jing Zhong Jinwei said this, he suddenly realized.

But if you understand it, you understand it, how to break this game?It seems that the corruption cases in the past dynasties did not involve such a wide range!

Sun Chengzong didn't even think about whether the evidence was conclusive or not, and whether anyone was wronged, because he knew that those people were basically really greedy.

Although everyone knew about corruption in the past, it was not put on the table after all, and it was not put in front of the emperor.Now I know, whether to deal with it or not, whoever is dealt with and who is not, Sun Chengzong has a headache thinking about it.

In Taizu's era, there would not be such a headache. If it exceeds 60 taels of silver, you can just peel it off and fill it with grass. Who would dare to resist?

But now, not to mention that Jianlu is still in Gyeonggi, and he is still fighting at the door of his house. With such a large number of corrupt officials, the executioner can't kill them!Maybe even the executioner is corrupt, so let him peel his own skin?

"Uncle Zhongxing, do you have any good ideas?" Sun Chengzong's head hurt from thinking, so he asked Zhong Jinwei directly.

Zhong Jinwei was also thinking about it, and when he saw Sun Chengzong's question, he replied: "I have some ideas, but they haven't formed yet, so I have to think about it carefully."

Sun Chengzong just mentioned it in passing, and he didn't expect Zhong Jinwei, who in his opinion is still a young man, to have a good solution.

Because in his opinion, even if Zhong Jinwei knows some relatively rare ideas and superb ingenuity, but in this political aspect, especially in the current deadlock, it is impossible to know it too. [

Unexpectedly, Zhong Jinwei replied that he had an idea, Sun Chengzong was a little worried when he heard it, don't have any bad ideas, go and mislead the emperor, so he asked Zhong Jinwei: "What do you think?"

At this time, the personal guard came in with a box of food. Zhong Jinwei smelled the aroma, his stomach growled, and he answered Sun Chengzong's question first.

Zhong Jinwei smiled at Sun Chengzong, and said embarrassedly: "I'm starving to death, I'll eat first."

Then he turned around and said to Gu Baichuan: "Come, let's have some food together."

Zhong Jinwei's guard wanted to have dinner with Zhong Jinwei. Sun Chengzong couldn't care about such a matter of no distinction of superiority and inferiority. He just thought about the court situation by himself.

Gu Baichuan was the person who spent the longest time with Zhong Jinwei, of course, not counting the few months when Zhong Jinwei was in a coma and the time spent with Archie.

So he knew Zhong Jinwei well, so he went forward to eat with Zhong Jinwei after pleading guilty.

After Zhong Jinwei finished eating, Sun Chengzong was about to ask again, Zhong Jinwei said to Sun Chengzong with a little embarrassment: "Master Sun, I'm sorry, I was in a hurry to eat, and I have to go to the bathroom, oh, I want to show respect."

People have three urgencies, and there is no way to stop this, so Sun Chengzong had to wait for Zhong Jinwei to come back and ask what he thought.

But if you wait left, you can't wait, and if you wait right, you can't wait.Sun Chengzong was a little worried that he would not fall into the latrine, so he quickly sent his personal guards to look for the supervising army.

Unexpectedly, after a while, the personal guard came back and reported that the supervising army had gone back to his tent and fell asleep after the ceremony.

When Sun Chengzong heard it, why, find a reason to avoid him. Could it be that his idea is very good and he doesn't want to let himself know, or he was talking nonsense just now, pretending to be profound, and he said he had an idea when he had no idea?

Sun Chengzong decided to go to Zhong Jinwei and ask him to understand, the boy would not play tricks on the old man like this.

The supervising army camp was originally arranged by Sun Chengzong, and it was right next door to him.When he walked outside Zhong Jinwei's tent, he saw two Dongchang soldiers guarding the entrance of the tent, yawning persistently.

At the same time, Sun Chengzong heard Zhong Jin and Wei Zhentian snoring from the tent.

He is an old man, so he will not be able to distinguish the real from the fake.Coupled with the performance of the Dongchang fan, I realized in my heart that Uncle Zhongxing didn't sleep well these days when he was on the expedition, he was tired!Just now I had a full meal and resolved my inner urgency, so I felt sleepy, no wonder I just got under the covers and went to sleep.

Sun Chengzong's guess was right. At first, Zhong Jinwei wanted to discuss his thoughts with Sun Chengzong first, but he couldn't keep his eyes open after he came out.Seeing that Zhong Jinwei was so sleepy, Gu Baichuan directly suggested that he go back to the tent to rest.

These days, he has been pampered and has been running with the cavalry. He is worried at night and cannot sleep well.Although he slept outside Changli City for one night, he was worried about the return of Jianlu and the rations of the people in Changli City that day, so he didn't sleep well.

Today I went back to King Qin's camp, this is a really safe place, I was extremely sleepy after days of fatigue poured out.

Sun Chengzong knew that these Dongchang soldiers were also very sleepy, but they had the task of guarding Zhong Jinwei, so he was forced to perform his duties despite the sleepiness.

Although he wasn't very fond of Dongchang, in this situation, he still admired it a little.

Sun Chengzong turned around and ordered his personal guards to arrange someone to replace the two servants, and let them go to rest, saying that he arranged it, and he would take responsibility if something happened. [

Early the next morning, Zhong Jinwei had just finished his breakfast and was about to go to the capital when the second wave of envoys sent by Emperor Chongzhen arrived, asking Zhong Jinwei to go to see him as soon as possible.

Zhong Jinwei already knew the situation and understood the impatience of Emperor Chongzhen and others, so he didn't have time to discuss with Sun Chengzong, and directly followed the envoy to the capital to see the emperor.
