The monarchs and officials were very happy, and Zhu Cihong asked Zhou Zheng's next plan, when will the thief be completely wiped out.
Zhou Yanru couldn't intervene, so he could only listen to Zhou Zheng and Zhu Cihong's question and answer.
Li Banghua couldn't even intervene. He was an admirer of the Ministry of War, and apart from some chores, he was completely unable to intervene in the Northwest affairs.
Zhu Cihong listened to Zhou Zheng's arrangement, with a happy smile on his small face, and said: "Zheng Xibo is the pillar of the country, there is a Qing, I have no worries."
Zhou Yanru frowned while listening to Zhu Cihong's praise, and said nothing.
He has recently learned to keep a low profile, and is no longer as aggressive as before.
Just as Zhou Zheng was about to say something humble, an internal supervisor hurried in and said: "Long live the Lord, King Lu, King Zhou, King Liao and more than a dozen princes have entered the palace."
Zhu Cihong was taken aback. One King Lu was enough for him to hide. What should I do if there are more than a dozen? More than ten, but more than three hundred thousand taels of silver!
Zhou Yanru also changed his expression slightly, and immediately became indifferent.
If the national treasury has no money, it will either embezzle Zhou Zheng's military salary. There is no other way. Even if he is forced to death, it will be useless.
Zhou Zheng didn't care at all. The army pay was in his hands, and I couldn't take it away when the king of heaven came.
When Zhu Cihong saw Zhou Zheng and Zhou Yanru not talking, they had no choice but to say: "Two Qings, what should I do now?"
The old god Zhou Yanru was there, as if he was asleep.
Zhou Zheng said directly: "Your Majesty, the frontline wars continue, and a lot of money is needed. Yuan Fu only gives the ministers 500,000, which is not enough."
Li Banghua was finally able to intervene and said, "Your Majesty, it's not just a question of enough money and food for the suppression of bandits. There are now more than a dozen feudal vassals, each of 30,000 is also more than 300,000. If it is the king of the world, dozens of feudal vassals. After Wang learned the news, he followed the trouble, and even one million would not be able to stop it.
Zhu Cihong forgot in his heart, was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Can't drive, can't drive..."
Li Zhong frowned, and this matter was a little difficult to handle.
Zhu Cihong finished talking to himself, knowing that the military pay was not enough, so he had to look at Zhou Yanru again.
Zhou Yanru couldn't hide it anymore. He raised his brows and said with a frown, "Your Majesty, the capital is waiting to be flourished. There are too many places where money is needed. In addition to the suppression of bandits, Xia Liang has not yet arrived. It is to kill the old ministers, and the old ministers can't take them. More out."
Zhu Cihong was not his father, Chongzhen, because he was too young to listen to him, and he couldn't help but turn his eyes to the most trusted Li Zhong.
Li Zhong hesitated when he saw Zhu Cihong's gaze, and leaned in and said, "Long live, it's better to send someone to talk to those vassal kings. Too much can't be paid out. In the middle, give one hundred thousand first. Others, wait for Xia Liang. I'll talk later."
Zhu Cihong's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhou Yanru and said, "Zhou Aiqing, is this method good?"
Zhou Yanru glanced at Li Zhong and knew that at this point, it was impossible not to give any points, and said: "The minister asked the minister of the household, Chen Zhenqing, to see King Lu."
Zhu Cihong felt relieved and said, "Then this matter is just like that, I still have lessons, so please go ahead with Aiqing."
With that said, he couldn't wait to leave.
Zhu Cihong is also a little afraid of these government affairs now, and it is really troublesome and embarrassing.
Zhou Yanru, Zhou Zheng, and Li Banghua had nothing to say. They raised their hands and resigned from the Palace of the Qing Dynasty.
The relationship between Zhou Yanru and Zhou Zheng has reached a freezing point. There is no nonsense, and he strides back to the cabinet.
Zhou Zheng looked at Li Banghua, smiled and said, "Li Shangshu, can I have time to sit on the west porch?"
Li Banghua is now a person of Zhou Yanru in the eyes of many people, but Li Banghua himself is trying his best to maintain neutrality. He does not want to get close to Zhou Yanru or Zhou Zheng. Seeing that Zhou Yanru is not far away, he should be able to hear him and quickly said:" If you are entangled in official duties, you won't bother Zheng Xibo."
Zhou Zheng has already invited Li Banghua twice. This is an admirer of the Ministry of War, but he doesn't give much face.
Zhou Zheng paced, and said casually: "Fangyang has just been conquered, and the huge Huguang needs to be cleaned up. No one can do it. Li Shangshu is willing to sit in town and govern Huguang, Yunnan, and Guizhou provinces?"
Li Banghua clearly heard Zhou Zheng's intention to dismiss him, frowned, and said: "Please allow the officer to consider it."
Zhou Zheng didn't embarrass him, and said: "Then you think about it."
After speaking, Zhou Zheng walked towards Zhengxi Corridor, one after the other with Zhou Yanru.
Li Banghua looked at the backs of the two big figures in front of him, with a bit of pain, sandwiched between them, he was really worried, and he didn't dare to relax at all.
King Lu and others did not go to the Qing Palace, but gathered in the cabinet. More than a dozen feudal kings, who would dare to underestimate them, had extremely loud and angry voices.
As soon as Zhou Yanru passed the Huiji Gate, he quickly turned and left when he heard the movement, and went straight out of the palace.
Zhou Zheng looked at his back and listened to the voice inside. He stood in front of the gate of Huiji, squinting his eyes, and quickly changed his mind.
Shangguan Lie followed from behind and whispered: "Brother-in-law, hide for a while. With so many princes, the emperor can't help it."
Zhou Zheng's expression remained unchanged, his thoughts flew, and suddenly, his expression was certain, and he stepped forward.
The guards in the cabinet and other places looked at Zhou Zheng and saluted respectfully.
Zhou Zheng waved his hand and strode towards Zhengxi Gallery.
"No matter what, our salary must be obtained!"
"That's right! My palace, many years of savings have been robbed by thieves, and two sons have died. The court must treat me!"
"Why Zhou Yanru, Zhou Zhengyun, why don't they pay us salary? Even if they don't serve as officials, they have to send us first!"
"Who are we? I am the clan, the royal family, and the people of the world are hungry, so we can't be hungry!"
The princes in the cabinet hall, you and me, roar angrily.
"That's Zhou Zhengyun!" I don't know who shouted, and saw Zhou Zheng walking through the cabinet door.
The princes in the cabinet were like wild dogs that smelled the smell, all rushed out and surrounded Zhou Zheng.
"Zhou Zhengyun, when will our salary be given to us!?"
"The emperor Chrysostom, you also resist disobedience, are you trying to resist disrespect?"
"Are you relying on your merits and not putting the emperor in the eyes of us princes?"
"If you don't give us money today, don't want to leave!"
"Huh! We are the feudal lord, even if we beat you to death, no one will dare to punish us!"
Liu Liuzhe, Zhang Heyi and others were all there, looking furious, and they came forward. As long as Zhou Zheng waved his hand, they would knock these people to the ground and take them to prison!
Zhou Zheng stayed on his face and smiled and said: "The emperor in the palace has already known it, Yuan Fu has promised to give it, you go to the Ministry of Households."
King Lu opened his eyes and said, "Are you serious?" Obviously, he has been deceived many times.
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "Just find the servant of the household department. This is what Yuan Fu personally promised in front of the emperor."
A group of princes, look at me and I look at you.
Zhou Wang was the oldest, and said solemnly: "Okay. Let's go to the household department first. If we can't get the money, we will tear down the cabinet!"
"Yes, tear down the cabinet and go!"
"Okay, let's go!"
More than a dozen feudal lords left the cabinet arrogantly and went straight out of the palace to the household department.
Zhang Heyi was a little puzzled, and walked over and said, "My lord, does the household have any money?"
Shangguan Lie said disdainfully: "If you have any, you have to give it to us first, wherever you can get them!"
Zhou Zheng had already moved his mind to these vassals, turned to Zhang Heyi, and said, "Find Li Hengbing."
Zhang Heyi immediately felt that there was something in it, so she raised her hand and said, "Yes." (End of this chapter)
