Chapter 19 Cutting the Hu (Asking for Collection)
In the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen, Zhu Cihong was sitting on the white tiger chair in the lobby, holding a file in his hand, looking at it seriously.
Luo Yanghe and Li Tingbiao stood on both sides of the bottom, and as soon as they returned to Beizhen Fusi, they were called by their subordinates, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been waiting in the lobby for a long time.
Luo Yangxing's heart jumped, he didn't know which one was playing in the East Palace, so he could only come hard.
"How much silver did Lord Luo copy?" Zhu Cihong looked down at a file and asked calmly.
Luo Yangxing's heart tightened, and he didn't have time to ask Li Ting how much silver he copied from Ma Xianxiang's family, and it was a little disadvantageous to speak first at this time.
However, Donggong had already asked, and he had to speak: "If you go back to Your Highness, I have copied a total of 100,000 taels of silver in Liu Rong's house, as well as some precious calligraphy and painting utensils, and it is estimated that there will be 300,000 taels of silver." ”
Zhu Cihong glanced up at Luo Yangxing, and then continued to look down at the file in his hand, and said after a while: "Liu Rong has been a palm print eunuch in the War Bureau for more than ten years, and he only picked up 300,000 taels of silver?" Think about it again, how much did you copy? ”
Luo Yangxing's heart was terrified, the East Palace is obviously not big, why does it look so old? An old fox who is alive and well.
Luo Yangxing stubbornly said: "Go back to Your Highness, it's about 400,000 taels of silver." ”
Zhu Cihong raised his eyelids again and said, "I'll give you one last chance." ”
Luo Yangxing was a little uneasy, gritted his teeth and said, "Actually...... 520,000 taels ......."
Zhu Cihong's eyelids jumped and said, "It seems that it is not easy to break silver from your Lord Luo, go down." ”
"Yes!" Luo Yangxing wiped the sweat from his forehead and retired.
Out of the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen, Luo Yangxing seemed to have changed as a person, looking calm, and said secretly in his heart: After all, he is still a child, and he wants to defraud a specific amount with just these few brushes? Don't look at how many years I've been working as a brocade guard.
In the lobby of Fusi in Beizhen, there are only Zhu Cihong and Li Tingbiao.
Li Tingbiao bowed and said: "Your Highness, there are 500,000 taels of silver from Ma Xianxiang's family, and other antique calligraphy and paintings are estimated to be 300,000 or 400,000 taels. ”
Zhu Cihong looked at Li Tingbiao and said with a light smile: "Does Luo Yangxing know how much silver you copied?" ”
Li Tingbiao said without thinking: "The lowly position is his own person, he doesn't know, and the lowly position doesn't know his specific amount, but it will definitely not be less than the lowly position." ”
Zhu Cihong nodded, he knew that Luo Yang was very greedy, but he didn't expect to be so greedy, the second-in-command of the War Bureau could be greedy for eight or nine hundred thousand taels, and Liu Rong, who was the number one, only copied 500,000 taels from his family?
What is hateful is that Luo Yangxing only reported 300,000 taels at the beginning, obviously fooling him, but Zhu Cihong didn't take it too seriously in this matter.
Zhu Cihong was afraid that Luo Yangxing would squint all the property copied out, so he specially came to Jinyiwei to cut off Hu, and by the way, he knocked Luo Yangxing, so that he would not be too unscrupulous.
After talking with Li Tingbiao for a while, Zhu Cihong planned to go back to the palace to settle down early, and tomorrow he would get up early and participate in the court meeting in the dark.
As soon as the prince's guard of honor left the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, Li Tingbiao was called over by Luo Yangxing and directly asked him how much he had reported to the East Palace.
Li Tingbiao told him that he had reported a total of 500,000 taels of silver to the East Palace, which made Luo Yangxing a little surprised, but more happy, and even praised Li Tingbiao for being sensible.
This is also Zhu Cihong's special arrangement, if the number reported by Li Tingbiao is far more than the amount of Luo Yang, it means that there is a problem with Luo Yang.
Zhu Cihong has not yet grasped the evidence of Luo Yang's corruption, and he can't bring him down at one time and put Li Tingbiao in the position of the number one of Jinyiwei, so he can only protect Li Tingbiao.
As for the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that Li Tingbiao did not report, Zhu Cihong naturally left it easily, and at this time, the most lacking thing in development intelligence was silver, and he planned to give these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to Li Tingbiao to vigorously develop intelligence.
For the concealment of part of the money obtained from the seizure, Jinyiwei is the best, so naturally Zhu Cihong does not have to worry about it.
The East Palace ordered Jinyi Wei to inspect the military battle, and this matter quickly spread throughout the government and the opposition, and many officials were surprised, this was really done by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was only a few years old?
Many officials with a sensitive sense of smell discovered the problem at the first time, this was the first time that the East Palace used the East Palace Order, and they killed one of the twenty-four yamen as soon as they made a move. What is Donggong doing here? Some people are not very convinced, but more officials are paying attention to the matter.
Those officials or nobles who had secret interests in the War Bureau severed their ties with the War Bureau and destroyed some evidence in the shortest time they received the news.

Chengguo Mansion, in Zhu Chunchen's study.
After Zhu Chunchen heard the news of the War Bureau, he broke out in a cold sweat, and he sent someone to secretly summon several ministers with interests to discuss secretly together.
Zhu Chunchen said angrily: "What's going on over there in the War Bureau?" Why was it served by Jinyiwei? ”
One of the ministers said: "I don't know, Jin Yiwei didn't go to the criminal department to sign the driver's card, he went directly to get someone!" ”
"This Luo Yang is really a white-eyed wolf, in the past, it was Wen Ge Lao who promoted him to His Majesty to sit on the top of the Jinyi Guard, but now he dares to touch our people!"
When Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru and Qian Qianyi of the Donglin Party competed for the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru formed an alliance with Luo Yangxing.
In the end, the two sides got their wish and defeated Qian Qianyi, one became the first assistant of the cabinet, and the other became the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the ending was very satisfying.
However, officialdom will never have an impregnable alliance, it is more about interests, and it is not uncommon to cross rivers and dismantle bridges and dismantle each other.
Wen Tiren and his party were the first to attack, and asked Chongzhen to cancel the power of Jinyiwei to arrest affairs, although Chongzhen did not accept it in the end, but still imposed many restrictions on Jinyiwei's power, such as abolishing most of them, including the Minister of Surveillance.
At that time, Luo Yangxing had just jumped a few levels in a row to become the leader of Jinyiwei, and he did not have the strength to wrestle with the first assistant of the cabinet, so he could only swallow his anger and secretly look for opportunities.
During this period, Luo Yangxing inevitably did some disgusting things to disgust Wen Tiren, and this time he went to arrest the two leaders of the Military War Bureau, and he didn't say a word, and he took people to do it.
Zhu Chunchen said: "Luo Yangxing, the white-eyed wolf, doesn't dare to do it himself, I heard that this is the will of the East Palace." ”
One of the ministers said: "Donggong is a child, why did he kill the military war?" Could it be that the eunuch of the War Bureau offended this young master? ”
Zhu Chunchen sighed and said: "No matter what their reason, now that the interests of the War Bureau are gone, it is useless to say anything, but this beam is settled, you should think of a way to clean them up!" ”
Several ministers also nodded when they heard this, and then began to make moves.
"Jin Yiwei went directly to get someone without signing a driver's license through the criminal department, and he has no king, just by virtue of this, he will have to be laid off, and the East Palace will also be reprimanded!"
"Yes, when the time comes, let's play together, and take the opportunity to let His Majesty remove the Jinyi Guard, and see how arrogant he is!"
"That's right, kill the white-eyed wolf of Luo Yangxing, teach the little doll in the East Palace a lesson, and let him know that even the emperor can't do anything!"
Seeing their eyebrows fluttering, a minister finally couldn't help coughing and said: "Everyone, let me tell you a bad news, Your Majesty had already handed over the authority to issue the driver's license to Jinyiwei when Chongzhen was five years old on the grounds of preventing leakage, and there was no need to go through the criminal department at all, so Jinyiwei was not at fault." ”
"What? You didn't say it earlier! One of the ministers jumped up and pointed at him angrily.
A few other people are also a little annoyed, and they have been making suggestions with us for a long time, but you are fucking holding your fart and watching the show?
