At the end of November, Li Zicheng arrived in Beijing from Shaanxi.

When the officials in Beijing were so excited when they heard that Li Zicheng was coming.

But it's not welcome, but waiting to watch the show.

Because the people who impeached Li Zicheng in the 13th province of the two capitals and thirteen provinces have been so damn that they can't count both hands and feet.

At this time, Li Zicheng was recalled to Beijing, and there are many reasons for this.

Some people say that the emperor summoned Li Zicheng back to question him under pressure.

Some people also say that the emperor wants to investigate the situation in Shaanxi clearly.

But seeing clearly, most of the officials of the Ming Dynasty now denounce Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng is 80% cold.

This actually reveals the contempt of scholars towards people like Li Zicheng who were not scholars at the bottom, and who had once been Qiu Ba.

On November 30th, heavy snow.

Li Zicheng entered the palace and entered the Forbidden City all the way.

Li Zicheng came to the palace for the first time in his life. He never dreamed that he could come to the palace.

And, on this day, he met the emperor.

The last time I saw the emperor was in Shaanxi, and it was not that atmosphere yet.

This time, when I met the emperor in the Ganqing Palace, I truly realized that the person in front of me is now the co-lord.

"Long live your life, my Majesty."

"Li Aiqing is exempted from gifts."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I've worked hard all the way."

"Your Majesty urgently recruits me into the capital, but I dare not delay."

This scene is really interesting. In orthodox history, Li Zicheng invaded Beijing and Chongzhen hanged himself.

And now, Chongzhen summoned Li Zicheng in the Ganqing Palace.

The trajectory of history has been changed by time travelers.

Li Zicheng suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say about Shaanxi."

"But it's okay."

"The juren Wu Zhichun and the magistrate of Chang'an County Song Mingcheng, who wanted to make money and neglect human life. I also found out that this matter was related to King Rui."

King Rui!

Who is King Rui?

Zhu Changhao, the son of Emperor Wanli!

His fief was in Hanzhong, Shaanxi, and Chang'an was not far away.

"Do you have evidence?"

"Wu Zhichun said to me personally."

"But Wu Zhichun is dead."

"Wu Zhichun's wife Wang is still alive. Wu Zhichun's accounts are all under the control of Wang. I have brought her to the capital." Li Zicheng took out a book of offering from his arms, "Your Majesty, this is Wang's book of offering, which is exactly the same as what Wu Zhichun said at that time."

Chongzhen opened it and read it quickly, and was shocked after reading it.

Wu Zhichun secretly purchased large quantities of iron tools in Xi'an Prefecture and transported them to King Rui. At this time, Song Mingcheng, the magistrate of Chang'an County, also participated.

Iron tool?

Iron tools were the strategic resource of the country in ancient times.

In ancient times, salt and iron were all official.

However, by the Ming Dynasty, they began to be made by the people.

But even so, if you want to trade salt and iron, you have to buy salt from the government, and you have to pay for iron smelting in the government.

King Rui bought a large number of iron tools.

This suddenly hit Chongzhen's sensitive nerves.

In recent years, several vassal kings have been killed, and it seems that some people can't help but be able to hold back!

King Rui couldn't help but, where were the other vassal kings?

There is a principle: when you see a piece of floating ice on the sea, don’t think that it is all the ice, and all the ice may be a thousand times more than it.

Will other vassal kings have this idea too?

The vassal kings are indeed kept in captivity, but the vassal kings are rich.

If you have money, prepare something privately and then collude with local officials.

This may not have happened before, but now the court is reforming and making major changes to officials.

Especially the three major cases this year, it must have caused many local officials to be nervous. It is hard to say whether they will take the risk of colluding with the vassal kings.

It is better to believe that it has than to believe that it has nothing!

The situation in the north finally entered a state of chaos. It would probably take two or three years for Huang Taiji to conquer Mongolia again.

Zhang Chen has two or three years to prepare.

If a great chaos broke out in the pass, the two or three years that I finally fought for would be wasted, and there would be internal friction within the pass.

By then, the historical trajectory will be back on track, and I will hang a crooked tree again?

No, no!

Chongzhen took a deep breath and said calmly: "Does anyone know about Wang's confession?"

"Only one of them knows at the moment."

"I don't know if Wang knows this?"

"Wu Zhichun was killed, and Wang escaped by chance and found the minister, but no one else knew about it."

"Okay, I will ask Cao Huachun to find you and take Wang's family to the East Factory to resettlement."

"yes."

"You have worked hard during this period. Don't worry, I won't believe those rumors, I believe you."

Li Zicheng was quite moved. To be honest, he has not had a good life in Shaanxi in the past two years.

Although he became a censor all of a sudden, many officials in Shaanxi looked down on him and did not even take him seriously.

Fighting is daily, confrontation, and even violence is also daily.

No official in Shaanxi likes him, and a group of officials often attacks him.

This time, many officials from all over the country impeached him, and it can be seen that he is actually unable to tolerate him.

"With His Majesty's trust, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"Today's corruption is becoming more corruption-like. You must be prepared to kill whatever you deserve. You will never tolerate it. I will hold you back!"

"yes!"

After Li Zicheng left, Chongzhen immediately summoned Sun Chuanting.

"See Your Majesty."

"You lead 10,000 troops to Hanzhong and send someone to escort King Rui back to Beijing, and you say that I miss him and want to meet my uncle. You should first station in Hanzhong."

"yes!"

After Sun Chuanting received the military order, he went to the military camp outside Beijing to lead the troops.

After Sun Chuanting left, Chongzhen found Wen Tiren in a blink of an eye.

"You can go to Chengdu quickly and monitor the King of Shu. If there is any abnormal movement, go north to Hanzhong and notify Sun Chuanting and ask him to take the person."

The emperor didn't talk nonsense and just said his purpose.

Wen Tiren's mind was very fast, and the emperor said this to this point. It seemed that this was a challenging errand.

Chongzhen added: "If the matter is done, come back and enter the cabinet."

Wen Tiren's lifelong dream was to enter the cabinet. After hearing what the emperor said, he immediately became a god.

"I will live up to my mission."

Immediately, Chongzhen gave him a sage edict so that he would not have any resistance when he notified Sun Chuanting.

After all this was arranged, Chongzhen finally knew it.

Regardless of whether King Rui has any problems, please get it back first.

The emperor had already given an order to Sun Chuanting to escort back with army, which means that King Rui could not be granted.

After King Rui comes back, he will find another reason and throw it into the East Factory for careful investigation.

Once Wen Tiren discovers anything, Sun Chuanting immediately goes south to Chengdu and arrests people directly.

Internal issues, especially such issues, must be decisive and there must be no hesitation.
