Before Li Hengbing came to conquer the west porch, Wang Lu and a group of people had already arrived at the household.
Outside the Daming Gate was the gathering place of the big yamen of the Ming Dynasty. Seeing these princes coming in angrily, the big yamen closed one after another, only the household department was supporting them.
King Lu, King Zhou and others rushed into the lobby of the household department. Chen Zhenqing had been waiting.
Chen Zhenqing didn't dare to offend these feudal lords, so she introduced her seat very politely, served tea, and served delicious food.
King Liao waved his hand and said: "Don't come to this set, Zhou Zhengyun said, Yuanfu agreed to give the money, hurry up and take it out."
Chen Zhenqing nodded and bowed, and said: "Yes, yes, Yuan Fu agreed. But the household department is in a tight situation, and all the princes know it. In this way, the household department will squeeze out fifty thousand taels first, and you will tide over the difficulties first.
Bang
Before Chen Zhenqing finished speaking, King Liao jumped up and said angrily: "What? Only fifty thousand taels? Are you begging for food?"
"Three hundred eighty thousand, less than one or two won't work!" Zhou Wang shouted after him.
"Humph, if you don't give it all today, I will tear down your household department!" Zhao Wang said.
A group of princes slapped the table and shouted, almost eating Chen Zhenqing.
Chen Zhenqing twitched the corner of her mouth, and reluctantly explained: "My princes, the capital has just been recovered, and money is going to be used everywhere. The robbers are still watching in the northwest. The army and the bandits need money and food. There really is no more. It’s not taxes raised outside..."
"fart!"
Wang Xiang interrupted Chen Zhenqing and scolded, "Is it fifty thousand taels in such a big world? Really we are all beggars, just let them go?"
"Let Chen Yan get out, we have so many princes, he doesn't even show his face, he looks down on us too much, right?"
King Zheng stood behind Chen Zhenqing and said gloomily: "We are the feudal lord, the emperor is young. Are you trying to bully our Zhu family?"
Chen Zhenqing's neck was frightened by these words, and she hurriedly said with a smile: "The prince is joking, and it is good to discuss everything..."
King Lu sat on a chair and said coldly: "We won't force you, so let's give us 200,000 today, and the rest will be collected within three days, otherwise, we will starve to death in front of the gate of Qianqing Palace. See what you guys do!"
The corners of Chen Zhenqing's mouth suddenly twitched, the scene was too ruthless, he didn't dare to think about it!
If this happens, no one in the world will agree, and the Ministry of Households will be the first one to be unlucky!
A thin cold sweat appeared on Chen Zhenqing's head and said: "Princes, like this, you sit down for a while, I'll go in to discuss and discuss, and then find other government offices to squeeze, you sit down..."
Where were these princes willing, they shouted, "I want to go in together, let's ask them face to face." Then they all rushed into the back hall.
Chen Yan and others have been hiding behind the door. Seeing these people about to rush in, they quickly turned around and ran away.
The same is true for the newly appointed Hubuyou servant Gao Hongtu. The two went out of the Hubu through the back door with different expressions, and they were not good-looking anyway.
Gao Hongtu was dismissed from office for many years, and it is only today that he realized the difficulties of the capital city. He glanced at Chen Yan, bowed his head, twisted his eyebrows, his expression changed, and he was also thinking about countermeasures.
It is true that the treasury has no money, and it is also true that the military payment cannot be embezzled. The summer grain has not been collected, and these vassals can't afford it. What should I do
Chen Yan's expression is unpredictable, and his heart is extremely anxious. If these vassals are allowed to make trouble, the ruling and the opposition will definitely have troubles. He, the minister of the family, will be trembling, how can he endure such waves.
Chen Yan couldn't think about what to do, and suddenly turned to Gao Hongtu, and said, "Gao Shilang, you are in the household department, shouldn't you put some effort into it?"
Gao Hongtu was startled, and said, "How should the lower officials contribute?"
Chen Yan glanced around and whispered: "You are the one who is seeking Xibo. You will definitely be able to borrow money if you look for Xibo. It doesn't matter how much, it can be emergency. No matter how bad, you know that Zhou's ticket number is also for Xibo. You are the one who conquers Xibo. You borrow 300,000 in the name of the Ministry of Households. No, 500,000. You can always borrow it, right?"
Gao Hongtu thought it was a good way, his chest exploded after listening to the anger, and he had to go to Zheng Xibo for money when he was working together? Aren't you incompatible with Seibo? Why did you have a face to say it
Gao Hong said without expression: "My lord, do you think that if Zheng Xibo is willing to give it, you can wait until now?"
Chen Yan heard it too. Zhou Zheng was anxious to see their jokes. How could he help them
He twisted his eyebrows again, thinking hard.
At this moment, Wang Lu and the others did not see Chen Yan in the back hall, and were furious. They threw cups and chairs around the household, screaming.
Chen Zhenqing was beaten several times and also escaped.
These princes went wild in the household, looking for people everywhere, yelling, and even when they saw a good thing directly into their arms, the older ones picked them up, carried them on their backs, and carried them on their backs.
At the same time, Li Hengbing was in Zhou Zheng's classroom, listening to Zhou Zheng's words.
Zhou Zheng put down his tea cup and said, "I want all the kings of the world to enter Beijing, and those in Beijing don't leave."
Li Hengbing speculated on Zhou Zheng's intentions, and said: "This is not difficult, with the excuse of'Yi Fan Wang's salary', summoning all the vassal kings into the capital, except for Sichuan and other places, there is no problem. What do you want to do?"
Zhou Zhengdao: "You do the first step first."
Li Hengbing couldn't figure it out, so he had to say: "Okay. I still have a few vassal kings who surrendered to Li Zicheng. If someone wants to leave Beijing, I will hook them up and go straight to jail."
Zhou Zheng nodded and said: "A'Operation Breeze' is being brewed in Shuntian Mansion. It is mainly aimed at those rogues and other criminals. The Ministry of Justice will also take action here. There is not enough manpower. I will send someone to you. ."
Li Hengbing naturally knew that Shuntian Mansion Yin Zhoufang was Zhou Zheng's eldest brother, and said: "Okay, I'll go back to Zhou Mansion Yin for a talk."
Zhou Zheng tapped his fist lightly on the table, looked up at Li Hengbing, and said, "It won't be long, there will be some troubles, mainly those officials, you have to find a way to clean up for me."
Li Hengbing's eyes flashed coldly, and said, "Have you started?"
Zhou Zheng snorted and said, "What do you start? Just do what I explained."
Li Hengbing knew nothing to ask, so he left.
Zhou Zheng picked up a blank text and prepared to write a memo on the military reform. Hearing Li Hengbing's footsteps, he was still deliberating on this matter in his heart.
Feudal kings, this group is too special. If you want to deal with it, not only the emperor will not agree, nor will the officials, nor will the scholars of the world, or even ordinary people.
This is the'national foundation', one of the pillars of Daming. Shaking the clan is the same as shaking Daming Jiangshan Sheji!
"There must be sufficient reasons." Zhou Zheng whispered to himself.
When Li Hengbing left the palace, those vassals also left the household department. They took out a lot of things from the Ministry of Households, but they didn't have a lot of money.
They shouted in anger, but there was no other way.
A group of people returned to the restaurant and began to ponder other ways. Then, they were dispatched overnight and walked around the capital.
In the early morning of the next day, there were more than 30 memorials, all of which were impeached by Shangshu Chen Yan and others, accusing them of'treating the clan harshly and swaying the country','no ruler, wanton lawlessness','clan Hungry and cold, what is the world? 'and many more.
These are all public memorials. The capital was already noisy, and there was a lot of uproar. The whole capital was discussing this matter. (End of this chapter)
