Qian Sule listened to Wu Zheng's rumors, and seemed to be a little angry, and he said sharply: "The fault for this matter lies with Qian, Zhang Guowei, and Her Royal Highness the Princess, not Your Majesty." Don't forget, when you were in Shaoxing Mansion, Wang Zhiren and Fang Guoan intercepted the taxes of the surrounding provinces of Shaoxing Mansion, and the ministers of the court dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, do you also want to repeat the events of that day? ”

Wu Zheng was pushed back by this sentence, he understood that Qian Sule was right, if he really resisted, it was not only Zhu Cihong who would be offended, but the entire court and countless officials.

The imperial court has not paid for more than half a year, and if he is hard topped, Zhu Cihong will easily lead this resentment to himself.

Just said that the hearts of the people are back, how can they destroy the Great Wall?

But Wu Zheng was really unwilling, blinked his eyes a few times, and Wu Zheng said: "If you want to collect it, the imperial court will first settle the arrears of this year and a half." ”

Qian Sule smiled bitterly: "If you can get such a sum of money, what will Qian do when you come to the Zhenguo Mansion?" ”

Wu Zheng glared, "Dare, this matter is not His Majesty's will, you took the initiative to pit me?" Okay, old man Qian, how can you say that we are also Weng sons-in-law, you are good, your elbow is turned out? ”

Qian Sule hurriedly said: "Full of nonsense, this is indeed what Your Majesty meant." It's just that His Majesty did not issue an edict...... Doesn't that take into account whether you're willing to let go? ”

Wu Zheng understood, really understood, Zhu Cihong was ruthless enough, even if he was sure that he was unwilling to let go of the three mansions to pay taxes easily, he sent Qian Sule to persuade him, after all, the two were Weng sons-in-law. In addition, if he really doesn't agree, then Wang Zhiren's three mansions will definitely not be able to take it back, and the consequence is that the black cauldron of this boss will be borne by himself.

Zhu Cihong can easily say that in the land of ten prefectures, the two princes of Zhen and Xing occupy six prefectures, and the imperial court only has four prefectures, and the treasury is stretched.

It's a pit, whether you jump or not, you have to fall down.

You jump, then from now on, the army's salary will have to look up to the court to breathe, when does Zhu Cihong feel unhappy, he has to wave a few whips, and he can stick to it, which is the same as the reason for leaving Zhou Simin in the capital - control!

If you don't jump, you will offend the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

The so-called cutting off people's financial means is equivalent to killing their parents, and this truth can't be simpler.

Turtle son, it's so ruthless! Wu Zheng scolded in his heart.

Gritting his teeth, no, gnashing his teeth, Wu Zheng said to Qian Sule: "It's okay if you want me to pay taxes, but you have to meet my conditions." ”

Qian Sule hurriedly said: "You speak." ”

"I want to be alone."

Qian Sule was taken aback, and immediately refused: "No, if you want her, it will definitely not work, Your Majesty would rather not take back the tax." ”

Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Qian Sule misunderstood that he was about to mention Zhou Shimin.

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "I want Ling Yuan, follow me to Hangzhou Mansion." ”

Qian Sule almost jumped up, he said: "Ridiculous! I haven't passed the door yet, how can I easily go to Hangzhou Mansion with you? ”

Wu Zheng raised his head and turned his nose to the sky, "The money should not be indifferent, then it should be that Wu Zheng didn't say it." ”

Qian Sule was so angry that he stomped his feet, just as Wu Zheng guessed, Qian Sule did have some crooked thoughts.

Since Shaoxing Mansion, he has been guarding against Wu Zheng, although at that time, in front of Zhang Guowei and Zhang Huangyan, he promised his daughter to Wu Zheng, but he has always refused to perform the six salutes, and his life has been delayed for two years.

In case Wu Zheng really did something rebellious, the Qian family would not be dragged into the quagmire.

It's just that what Qian Sule didn't expect was that in front of Zhengyang Gate, he insisted on withdrawing from the marriage, but his daughter admitted to death.

Fortunately, fortunately, Wu Zheng did not take that step after all, which made Qian Sule look forward to it in his heart, and there was also this scene of Dun Dun's teaching tonight.

But now, Wu Zheng put forward such a condition that Qian Sule did not expect, and Qian Sule was embarrassed.

With his experience, how could he not know Wu Zheng's intentions?

took Qian Jinxuan to Hangzhou, raw rice was cooked into cooked rice, even if the Qian family was dragged onto the thief ship, in case Wu Zheng made a move, the Qian family would not be able to wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River, just like yellow mud fell into the crotch of his pants, it was not but.

Seeing Qian Sule in a dilemma, Wu Zheng was happy in his heart, this old man is too bad!

Wu Zheng was yin and yang, with a hint of sarcasm: "Qian Xiang is a loyal and righteous person of the Ming Dynasty, there is a way, I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?" The brother was sent to the prison of the Criminal Department, and Qian Xiang could not recognize his relatives and ignore him, let alone his daughter...... Besides, follow me to Hangzhou, which is not the same as the prison cell of the Criminal Department, ....... ”

What Wu Zheng didn't expect was that Qian Sule was forced to do this and said, "This is the condition for you to pay back the taxes of the three governments?" ”

Wu Zheng immediately had a premonition that something was wrong, but the words came to this point, so he could only stubbornly say, "Yes." ”

"As you wish!" Qian Sule said with a miserable face but firmly.

This time it was Wu Zheng's turn to be dumbfounded, he didn't expect Qian Sule to really stomp his feet and grit his teeth.

Joke, just a joke, Wu Zheng said in his heart.

This marriage, both parties know in their hearts, is a marriage that looks glamorous on the outside, but the marriage between the two families of the prince and the cabinet is actually a slightly despicable political transaction.

If there is anyone who takes it seriously, it is Qian Jinxuan, the only daughter of the old man.

The reason why Wu Zheng put forward such a condition was actually to force Qian Sule to retreat despite the difficulties.

I don't want to, Qian Sule really has the determination to cut meat and feed eagles for the sake of Daming.

In this way, Wu Zheng has no way out.

But there is one point, Wu Zheng can't avoid it, and it is a shame to let a girl who has not passed through the door follow him to Hangzhou like this, in this era.

When it is blamed by thousands of people, it is despised by thousands of people.

To dishonor one's wife is to humiliate oneself, which has been the case since ancient times, and has never changed in any way with "patriarchy" or "seven rules" (here we are talking about wives, not concubines).

Wu Zheng didn't think about disgrace his wife.

But Wu Zheng is not a gentleman, he will, Sarai!

No, this is not right, it's not just the villain who can be liar, but the gentleman Qian Sule in front of him is also liar?

Saying that he kept the taxes for three years for himself, but as a result, he would have to recover them in one year, and he would just take them back, and he still refused to settle the arrears of military salaries.

Wu Zheng said with a smile: "Since my father-in-law has agreed, I should always accompany some dowry, right?" ”

Qian Sule was stunned for a moment, "Dowry...... Naturally, there is, but you will leave Beijing in three days, but I am afraid that it will be too late. ”

"That's right, it's really too late, but if there is no dowry, presumably ...... I lost face, I am a prince of the country, you are a minister, a scholar, and you don't even have a decent dowry for marrying relatives and daughters, isn't this a shame? ”

Qian Sule agreed, "Then in your opinion, what should I do?" ”
