The lobby was quiet, and no one wanted to be in the limelight.

However, everyone's eyes drifted to Jiading Bo Zhoukui.

As His Majesty's father-in-law, Zhou Kui's statement at this time is particularly important.

Ahem......

In the midst of everyone's attention, Zhou Kui coughed lightly, tightened the white mink fur on his body, squinted his eyes and said slowly: "Do you want to wait no longer?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were shocked, and they couldn't believe it, and no one could have imagined that he would say this.

After all, His Majesty has favored Zhou Kui over the years and rewarded him a lot. Therefore, Jiading Bofu can be regarded as rich and noble among the royal relatives and nobles in the capital.

Money is not a difficult thing for him.

But now, he actually meant to ignore His Majesty's words, which is too incredible.

The character is too bad, a white-eyed wolf, don't you know the word gratitude?

"I'm afraid that's not right, right?"

After a while, Liu Wenbing, the Marquis of Xinle, couldn't help but say a word.

In fact, if he follows his brother Liu Wenyao's instructions, he should stay out of the matter and not mix it indiscriminately.

However, Zhou Kui, the national abbot, really didn't like to speak, so he spoke up.

"What does Xin Lehou say?"

Zhou Kui spread his hands and immediately kicked the ball out. He is a person who was born in the rivers and lakes, and he is the most powerful when he kicks his nose and face.

"Naturally, I entered the palace to ask for guilt!"

Liu Wenbing just said a word, and then fell silent.

The lobby was quiet again, and everyone was pondering.

Entering the palace to ask for guilt means bowing your head and admitting your mistakes, and the amount of money you used is indeed too low.

But the question is, how much is appropriate?

It's too low, Your Majesty blames. It's too much, who doesn't feel distressed about the silver in vain?

Zhu Chunchen sat at the top, looked around, looked at everyone's expressions in his eyes, and had a plan in his heart.

"Then how about waiting for a day or two to see, probing His Majesty's thoughts, and then making a decision?"

"What Cheng Guogong said is extremely true!"

Xiangcheng Bo Li Guojiao stroked his palms and praised it.

"Ready!"

Wu Qinghou and Li Guorui also agreed!

Suddenly, most of the royal princes and nobles present nodded in agreement.

Indeed, this is a very safe approach.

Ask the big eunuch in the palace to know your majesty's thoughts.

It's better than them colliding like headless flies.

However, there are also a few people who are silent, their eyes full of worry, and they do not seem to agree.

Is it really appropriate to disobey His Majesty again and again?

It's just that in such a bad situation, they didn't raise any objections.

In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen quickly knew the plans of the imperial relatives and nobles from Liu Wenyao's mouth.

"The path is yours to choose, so don't blame me for being ruthless."

Standing with his hands in his hands, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes sparkled with coldness, and he sighed generously!

These royal relatives and nobles, not to mention their ability, when it comes to raising military salaries, they are either silent or empty words.

Since there is no such thing, it is better to get rid of some of it.

At the same time, I also made a plan to replace the old with the new and replace the new blood as soon as possible.

"Emperor, the British Gongzhang Zhiji father and son ask to see."

The little yellow door in the palace came in and said.

"Xuan!"

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and then he spit out softly.

The British Gongzhang Zhiji is a person with no historical background, and Emperor Chongzhen is not very familiar with it.

His father Zhang Weixian has gone through four dynasties, has been in power for a long time, and has the merit of support, and Zhang Zhiji inherited the British dukedom for a few years, and it seems that he has been warped.

It can be counted that he is still a blessed person, enjoying a lifetime of blessings, and belongs to a natural death.

His son Zhang Shize, the next British duke, was tortured to death by Liu Zongmin, who entered Beijing, within a few years.

Therefore, the two fathers and sons, who had no merit in this life, were unconsciously ignored by Emperor Chongzhen after he came over.

Soon, Zhang Zhiji and his son, under the leadership of Xiao Huangmen, entered the hall.

After giving the seat and saluting, this dispensable British duke in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen leaned over and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is ashamed and stupid, and he has the grace of God.

The ancestors of Xiangchen Zhang Yu and Zhang Fu have made great achievements in their lives, but they have not enjoyed a moment of leisure. However, the descendants of the Zhang family were blinded by it, but they were blessed for more than 200 years.

Today's country is difficult, but the ministers are confused, cherish money and things, forget the words of the ancestors, please Your Majesty to punish the crime! ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, Zhang Zhiji is very good, his confession attitude is not bad, and his words are very beautiful, this person may be available!

At least, politically correct.

Look at Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, and Xu Yunzhen, the Duke of Dingguo, are they still watching at home?

Where to make me emperor?

Besides, let's not talk about his ability, just by virtue of his status as a British duke, he is a big signboard, a benchmark, and can do a lot of things.

"As a member of the honor, Aiqing may also have unspeakable secrets, I can understand it."

Emperor Chongzhen said hypocritically.

Winning over some parts and cracking down on some parts has always been a common means in politics, and there is absolutely no reason for one pot to be the end.

In fact, among the five princes of the Ming Dynasty, except for Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo in Yunnan, who is a martyr of the Ming Dynasty, everyone else is garbage in his eyes.

The vast majority of these noble children who have been favored by the Ming Dynasty for generations have become greedy for pleasure, greedy for life and afraid of death in the rich and noble life of pampering and pampering.

In the face of life and death, they are either terrified and ready to be killed, or they surrender on their knees, choose to save their lives first, and betray their homeland.

Like Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo in Jingying, who was deeply favored by the country, actually betrayed his deity and took the initiative to surrender to the courier brother.

This kind of disobedience to the lord even the courier brother couldn't stand it and ordered him to be executed.

There is also Xu Wenjue, the Duke of Wei, who surrendered Jiannu in Nanjing, which is simply a shame!

For these people, Emperor Chongzhen has a rod and scale in his heart.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When Zhang Zhiji heard this, he smiled and thanked him.

In his forties, he looks a little old, with deep bags under his eyes, and he looks like a wine bag and rice bucket.

In fact, this is normal, his father Zhang Weixian has been in power for so long, how can there be anything to Zhang Zhiji, a standard gentleman, who spends all day drinking, and is in good health?

In addition, the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty have always had a tradition of taking drugs, and lead poisoning is a very normal thing, so Zhang Zhiji did not live to Chongzhen for seventeen years before hanging.

"Your Majesty, please!"

Under the gaze of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhang Zhiji took out an account book from his sleeve pocket and handed it to the little yellow door in the palace.

PS: Zhuqing, this is yesterday's chapter, and it turned out to be a little late, so I got it to send it this morning......
