Zheng He glanced at Chen Shan contemptuously, just snorted coldly in his nose, and still didn't say a word.

Wang Jinghong on the side was a little unable to sit still, he and Zheng He have been to the West for many years, Zheng He has his shadow every time he does something, and he has been with him for many years, the relationship between the two has long been better than brotherhood, at this time he is leaving Zheng He, and others will also see him as the person next to Zheng He, besides, what kind of person Zheng He is, he knows better than anyone else, not to mention a mere 500,000 taels of silver, even more, he will not be moved, besides, his ambition is to go to the West again, how can he destroy his reputation at this time and do such a disgraceful thing, So he didn't believe that Zheng He would embezzle the 500,000 taels of silver at all, but he didn't believe it was one thing, and it was another thing for the prince to not believe it, seeing Chen Shan's aggressive momentum, he stood up a little anxiously, bowed to Yang Zheng, and said, "Your Highness-?" “

Yang Zheng was a little unhappy that Zheng He didn't say a word, and said in his heart: "Father-in-law Zheng, father-in-law Zheng, you just say something, you just sit like this and don't speak, even if I support you again, it won't help?" When he was secretly anxious, when he heard Wang Jinghong's sentence, His Royal Highness was overjoyed and said, "But the prince has something to say?" “

This tone was too kind, making everyone slightly stunned, even Zheng He also froze, turned his head to look at Yang Zheng, and said in his heart: "This prince is really a little different?" “

Wang Jinghong was overjoyed, thinking that everyone's remarks had made the prince a little angry, but who knew that the tone was as tender as ever, and it seemed that everyone's duty did not cause him dissatisfaction, and he immediately put the heart that had been mentioned to his heart into his stomach.

Chen Shan and Huang Fu each looked at each other, and a feeling of uneasiness surged in the hearts of the two, the prince's expression today really made the two feel a little strange, the prince also pampered the eunuch on weekdays, but in matters of right and wrong, he would never be ambiguous, as if he heard 500,000 taels of silver today and did not know where to go, but there was no anger at all, and there was a faint intention to defend Zheng He, the two were surprised, and their hearts were also a little uneasy.

Wang Jinghong bowed respectfully, and said loudly: "Dabao'en Temple has been built for many years, and it has cost a lot of silver, and I have never heard the household department say that there is a deficit in silver, why Zheng Gonggong took over, and the accounts of the household department are less than 500,000 taels of silver!" This sentence landed soundly, and everyone heard it clearly in this empty imperial study.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said in his heart: "Yes, why didn't I expect it, this Da Bao En Temple has been built since the sixth year of Yongle, and it has been 16 years, and I have never heard that there are no accounts, why is there less than 500,000 taels of silver when Zheng He took over the household department of Da Bao En Temple?" “

There was silence in the study.

Wang Jinghong continued: "Although the slave doesn't know how the household department found out this account, but Zheng Gonggong has been to the West for many years and has built the Great Bao'en Temple for less than a year, so it is difficult for the slave to believe that this account of the household department is someone secretly indebted, maybe it is just that someone in the court wants to take the opportunity to be unfavorable to Zheng Gonggong?" ”

If the sentence just now is a sentence that amazes the four seats, then this sentence is Chiluoluo's accusation.

Everyone on the field was surprised, and they all looked at Chen Shan, and there were some doubts in their eyes.

"It's a good one who is secretly indebted, and this sentence is considered to hit a snake to seven inches?" Yang Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried about Zheng He with the aggressive momentum of the ministers just now, for fear that these literati would make Zheng He really embezzle the 500,000 taels, and he didn't want to leave Zheng He who was a corrupt criminal in his previous life.

He nodded and echoed: "What the prince said is not unreasonable! “

Everyone looked stunned, and the rest of the officials secretly exchanged glances with each other, and they all looked at Chen Shan.

A cold sweat flowed down Chen Shan's back, and said with a wry smile: "The difference between the prince's words, over the years, the household department has been in accordance with His Majesty's will, the accounts of the Da Bao En Temple have been checked one by one, and there has never been a deficit of silver, but Zheng Gonggong has repeatedly requisitioned silver from the household department this year, and the amount is very large, and Wei Chen has checked them one by one according to the regulations, that is, in this year, the Da Bao En Temple has 500,000 taels of silver more than in previous years, and the silver has not yet been clearly accounted for. “

Yang Zheng said "um" and said, "It makes sense, I don't know if Gonggong Zheng still has something to say?" ”

From Zheng He's entry into the imperial study, Yang Zheng expected him to defend himself, according to his past merits and status, he believed that as long as Zheng He told the ins and outs, these literati might not dare to be so aggressive, these people wanted to be face-saving.

Zheng He's expression was as usual, and his duties to everyone even moved out of the rules set by Tai Zu back then: "If an official embezzles more than sixty taels of silver, he will be punished with the punishment of showing the head of the man to the public, and the punishment of peeling the skin and grass!" He was never moved, and people secretly admired his qi cultivation skills.

After listening to Yang Zheng's words, Zheng He turned around, glanced at the ministers, and said slowly: "Don't you think where the 500,000 taels of silver went, I will sue you today!" The tone was loud.

"My day, I finally have the demeanor of a three-guarantee eunuch?" Yang Zheng said with joy in his heart.

Everyone looked at each other, raised their heads one after another, and looked at Zheng He.

Zheng He's face was solemn, his figure was already burly and abnormal, and he was sitting straight on the bench at this time, with the tone just now, a sense of righteousness arose.

Most of the eunuchs that everyone sees on weekdays are submissive, and it is the first time they have seen such a righteous and awe-inspiring eunuch, and they were a little stunned, and several officials who didn't believe in Zheng He's greed for money became more and more unbelievable when they saw Zheng He's solemn face.

Zheng He's knife-like gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, and finally landed on Chen Shan's face, and said coldly: "Over the years, Dabao'en Temple has done things according to His Majesty's will and the regulations of the imperial court, and when he transferred silver to the household, he often transferred silver according to the procedure. 500,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, if I Zheng He is corrupt, dare to ask Lord Chen, where will I put it? ”

Chen Shan snorted coldly and said, "Your Nanjing mansion is not small, and it is not difficult to put down a mere 500,000 taels of silver?" “

This is a bit too much, because people's houses are big, and they may not be able to hide the place where the silver can be hidden.

Zheng He's face did not change, and he suddenly smiled, and said: "I heard that Lord Chen's house in the capital is not small, and Lord Chen is also a household servant, so this silver is not less like going home, right?" “

Chen Shan's complexion changed, but it was only an instant that he returned to normal, and sneered: "Whether I am greedy for silver has my own imperial court regulations to investigate, if it is found that my Chen Shan has embezzled a penny of silver from the imperial court, I Chen Shan has my own imperial court laws and sanctions, don't worry about Gonggong Zheng!" Speaking of this, he sneered again, met Zheng He's gaze, and said: "It's Gonggong Zheng, 500,000 taels of silver are gone, and only one sentence of "clear conscience" is afraid that it will be difficult to explain to the world, right?" “

"My dad wasn't greedy for money?" Zheng Enlai on the side was a little dumbfounded, and couldn't help but shout: "Is this your household deliberately embarrassing my father?" “

Chen Shan sneered and said: "It's embarrassing, Lord Zheng said it's funny, I, Chen Shan, as a servant of the household department, am in charge of accounting and statistical work such as auditing the copyright and levying the levy, and I have the responsibility to transfer every silver and two inspections from the household department clearly, and the official affairs of the court are not private, I don't think that the household department is deliberately embarrassing Gonggong Zheng-?" But Zheng Gonggong, if he didn't covet the 500,000 taels of silver, why did there be a record of 500,000 taels in the accounts of the household department? ”

Before Chen Shan's words fell, Huang Fu immediately took over and said: "Things must be clarified, 500,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, and it is better to ask Zheng Gong Bus to make it clear on his behalf, so as not to damage his reputation!" As he spoke, he glanced at Wu Zhong and said, "Lord Wu, what do you think?" “

Wu Zhong coughed twice and said: "What Lord Huang said is extremely true, 500,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, if there is a problem, check the problem, and if there is no problem, it is good to return the reputation of Gonggong Zheng-?" ”

"Well, what does Gonggong Zheng think?" Huang Fu nodded and moved his gaze to Zheng He's face, and asked seriously.

Zheng He snorted: "Of course? After speaking, he stood up, slowly turned to face Yang Zheng, reached into the bad, groped for a while, and then stretched out his hand, and there was an extra file in his hand.

Everyone was stunned and looked at Zheng He with some confusion.

Yang Zheng also looked at him blankly, and said in his heart: "Isn't it a confession?" ”

In the surprised looks of everyone, Zheng He slowly opened the file and read aloud to Yang Zheng: "Yongle was ordered by the emperor to build the Great Bao'en Temple in the tenth year, and mobilized 100,000 good craftsmen and military workers collected from all over the country——"

"In the twelfth year of Yongle, Dabao'en Temple is close to the Qinhuai River, and the geology is slightly softer. At the beginning of the construction of the whole temple, a thick wooden stake was first nailed into the foundation, and then set fire to make it into charcoal, and then it was rolled and compacted with an iron wheel rolling stone, and a layer of cinnabar was added to the charcoal to prevent moisture and kill insects - it cost 2,380,000 taels of silver? ”

"Yongle 20 years, Da Bao En Temple lasted 40 years, built the King Kong Palace, the left and right tablet pavilions, the Tianwang Palace, the main hall, the Buddha Palace, the Great Zen Palace, the Hou Zen Palace, the left and right Guanyin Palace, the Dharma Hall, the Patriarch Hall, the beamless hall, the Garan Palace, the front hall of the Tibetan scriptures, the Tibetan scripture hall, the left and right storage corridors, the wheel of the Tibetan Palace, the meditation hall, the Wei Dao Palace, the scripture room, the east and west abbots, the three Tibetan halls, the bell tower, etc., one hundred and forty-eight rooms of the monastery, one hundred and eighteen rooms of the east and west gallery corridors. Spend two million taels of silver ......? ”

When everyone heard this, their expressions began to change slowly, Chen Shan and Huang Fu glanced at each other, and their eyes also showed surprise, the total income of Daming that year was less than 30 million taels, and the total annual salary paid to officials at that time was nearly 700,000 taels.

At this time, Zhu Di had already begun to build a palace in Beijing, renovate the river to facilitate transportation, and began to prepare for moving the capital. Moving the capital is the biggest thing in the country, and it costs a huge amount of money, so it has to be surprising that while spending a lot of money to build a new capital, such a palace with a scale that is even more magnificent than the capital has been built.
