This is a book of accounts, a simple account of the estates of the British government.

It lists the specific addresses of manors, shops, wineries, and land, as well as the specific quantities of grain and silver in the Guogong Mansion.

The account book is very thin, only a few pages, but it turns the bottom of the Guogong Mansion upside down.

Emperor Chongzhen's face was solemn, and he already understood what Zhang Zhiji meant. Slowly raising the dragon's head, the dragon's eyes stared at this gentleman, as if he wanted to get acquainted again.

Zhang Zhiji smiled calmly, a hint of flushing appeared on his pale face, and he leaned over and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is the savings of the British Mansion for more than two hundred years, which is enough for the needs of 100,000 troops for a year.

The ministers are willing to use it to the imperial court for His Majesty to dispatch at will to solve the current urgent needs. ”

"Why?"

Even though he was already prepared, Emperor Chongzhen still got up and asked loudly.

This is a real destruction of the family, and now it is alive in front of him, how can he not surprise Emperor Chongzhen, and how can he not ask clearly?

You know, this is enough to be written into the history books and can be hyped up!

However, there was no such thing in the original history!

"Your Majesty, the noble family, rest with the country, and have no distinction between each other. As long as the Ming Dynasty is here, as long as the title of the minister is there, the British government is as stable as Mount Tai. ”

Zhang Zhiji replied calmly, then frowned slightly, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes and continued: "Such a simple truth, but it is a pity that the sons and daughters of the nobles in the capital have forgotten their roots.

Under the protection of his father, although he did nothing in his life, he did not dare to forget this principle.

Not to mention anything else, if the Tartars are allowed to enter Beijing, there are hundreds of ministers in their family, how many people can they keep? How much of the tens of millions of wealth in the house can be left? ”

After listening to Zhang Zhiji's story, Emperor Chongzhen was really moved, sat down slowly, tapped his fingers on the dragon chair, and praised solemnly.

This gentleman is not simple!

Clear thinking, politically correct.

It is estimated that it was because he died early, and he did not meet the time when the deity made a donation.

Otherwise, there will be another scene.

At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen also understood why in history, the British Duke was always the head of the nobles.

Look at what their grandparents have been doing for nine generations.

Not to mention the first generation of Zhang Yu, he has made great achievements in his life, and has made great contributions to Ming Chengzu's victory in the world.

The second generation of Zhang Fu is even more awesome, very early, he participated in the battle of Jingyan with his father, pacified Annan three times, destroyed Jiaozhi, followed Ming Chengzu three times, and the Northern Expedition to Mongolia, which was famous.

After the death of Ming Chengzu, he then assisted three generations of kings, and finally he was too old to do it, followed the Northern Expedition of Ming Yingzong, and died in the Tumubao Change.

As a great general of the four dynasties, he died on the battlefield, and he really bowed to death.

The third generation of Zhang Mao caught up with the moment when the Ming Dynasty was turned upside down.

In the years to come, Zhang Mao always held heavy troops and became the protector of the capital for 40 years.

No matter which traitor came to power, no one dared to provoke him, and after his death, he was posthumously crowned King of Ningyang.

The fourth-generation Zhang Lun, Zhang Mao's grandson, crossed his father and became a British duke. During the peace period, there were no particularly outstanding achievements, but he still held a high weight during his reign.

The fifth-generation Zhang Rong, in addition to still being a supreme minister, is most famous for becoming the only survivor under the scolding god Ouyang Yijing.

You must know that there are countless officials who have been impeached by Ouyang Yijing, including one marquis, two earls, and countless governors and governors, but Zhang Rong, as the Duke of England, Ouyang can't move.

The sixth generation of Zhang Yuangong, under the hands of Emperor Wanli, is considered mediocre, and he has spent his life in peace.

The seventh generation Zhang Weixian, Zhang Zhiji's father, is another incredible character.

After four dynasties, during his reign, he has always led the Governor's Office of the Chinese Army, controlled the Beijing camp, and consolidated Kyoto.

In the chaotic political situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty, even Gonggong Wei couldn't do anything to him, and he has always had the role of fixing the sea.

Taichang, Tianqi, and Chongzhen, the three sons of heaven, all personally carried the sedan chair and supported them on the stage.

The eighth generation is this Zhang Zhiji, I originally thought it was not very good, but now it seems that it is not simple.

The ninth generation is his son Zhang Shize, the last British duke, with a shallow foundation, in fact, he can't do anything, what he can do is to accompany the emperor to die for the country, not to escape, not to leave, not to surrender.

Combing through the previous British duglories, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the sick Zhang Zhiji, but there were sparks of excitement in his eyes.

Although I don't know when this guy will be warped, Emperor Chongzhen plans to reuse it.

How long can it be used, it really can't be used, support his son Zhang Shize.

Who calls people have good traditions and high political consciousness, so who do not use them?

"Aiqing is full of loyalty to the country, understands righteousness, and is very comforted!"

Emperor Chongzhen praised him, patted the account book in his hand, and said playfully: "I don't take any of the food and salary in Aiqing's mansion."

However, I will requisition the fine wine in this winery, and I will drink the celebration wine with the soldiers in the future. ”

"All by divine will!"

Zhang Zhiji was stunned for a moment, and then sighed, he had broken his body, but his brain was clear.

It turned out that His Majesty's coercion of the emperor's relatives and nobles was just a test of people's hearts.

Laugh at them, they still don't know it!

"Zhang Aiqing, I want you to take charge of the Beijing camp, command the Praetorian Guard, and cooperate with the Ministry of War to deploy the defense of the capital, what do you think?"

On the dragon chair, Emperor Chongzhen asked with a smile.

"As long as Your Majesty doesn't think the ministers are stupid, the ministers are willing to be expelled!

In addition, at the time of national crisis, the descendants of the Zhang family are duty-bound and should contribute their lives. The dog has nothing else to do, only a warm blood, willing to sprinkle it for the Ming Dynasty, willing to serve the saint! ”

At the critical juncture, Zhang Zhiji did not shirk and immediately agreed.

At the same time, he also proposed to let his son go out, obviously paving the way for his son.

Zhang Zhiji's mentality is the same as that of parents in China for thousands of years, Lao Tzu can't do it, I hope my son can't do it.

"Good! The British public is high and bright, so that Lang is willing to serve the Ming Dynasty, and I am happy! It's just that...... Daming not only needs Ling Lang, but also needs the British Duke to serve the country. ”

After listening to Zhang Zhiji's words, Emperor Chongzhen laughed, and his mood was so happy that he couldn't help it.

Look at people, how level and happy this is.

If it's a sake bag rice barrel, where did you say such a thing?

Obviously, this is a buried talent!

PS: Zhuqing, there is still today, don't go away, the plot is rolled out, everything is almost over......
