Li Hengbing has not yet come to the West Corridor, and King Lu and a group of others have already arrived at the household department.

Outside the Ming Gate, it is the gathering place of the major yamen of the Ming Dynasty, seeing these princes coming with high spirits, the major yamen have closed their doors, and only the household department is holding on.

King Lu, King Zhou and others rushed into the lobby of the entrance department, and Chen Zhenqing was already waiting.

Chen Zhenqing didn't dare to offend these vassal kings, so he politely ushered in the seats, served tea, and entertained them with delicious food and drink.

King Liao waved his hand and said, "Don't come to this set, Zhou Zhengyun said, Yuanfu promised to give the silver, hurry up, take it out." ”

Chen Zhenqing nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Yuanfu agreed." But the household is poor, and the princes also know it, so the household will squeeze out 50,000 taels first, and you will tide over the difficulties first, and wait for the summer grain ......"

boom

Before Chen Zhenqing finished speaking, King Liao jumped up and said angrily: "What? Only 50,000 taels? You sent a meal? ”

"Three hundred and eighty thousand, one or two less will not work!" King Zhou shouted.

"Hmph, if you don't give it today, I'll demolish your household!" Zhao Wang said.

A group of princes slapped the table and yelled, almost eating Chen Zhenqing.

The corners of Chen Zhenqing's mouth twitched, and he reluctantly explained: "Ladies and gentlemen, the capital has just been recovered, and money is needed everywhere, and the thieves are still eyeing the northwest, and the army needs money and food to suppress the bandits, there is really no more, this is still raised by the household department from the outside, not a tax ......."

"Fart!"

King Xiang interrupted Chen Zhenqing's words and scolded: "Is it 50,000 taels in such a big world?" Really, when we are all called Hanako, just send it away? ”

"Let Chen Yan get out, there are so many princes in us, he doesn't even show his face, he can't even look down on us, right?"

King Zheng stood behind Chen Zhenqing and said gloomily: "We are the vassal kings, the emperor is young, do you want to bully our Zhu family?" ”

Chen Zhenqing's neck was frightened by these words, and he hurriedly laughed and said: "The prince said that he was laughing, everything is good to discuss......

King Lu sat on the chair and said coldly: "We won't force you, so let's give us 200,000 today, and the rest will be in three days, otherwise, we will starve to death in front of the Qianqing Palace, see what you do!" ”

The corners of Chen Zhenqing's mouth suddenly twitched fiercely, that picture was too ruthless, he didn't dare to think about it!

If this happens, no one in the world will agree, and the household department will be the first to be unlucky!

A fine cold sweat appeared on Chen Zhenqing's head, and he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, in this way, you sit down for a while, I will go in to discuss and discuss, and then find other yamen to squeeze in, you can sit ...... peace."

Where are these princes willing to let in, shouting, 'If you want to go in together, let's ask you face to face', and then they all poured into the back hall.

Chen Yan and the others had been hiding behind the door, and when they saw that these people were about to rush in, they quickly turned around and ran.

The same is true of the new right attendant of the household, Gao Hongtu, the two of them went out of the household through the back door, with different expressions, and they didn't look good anyway.

Gao Hongtu has been dismissed for many years, and today he can only realize the difficulties in the capital, glancing at Chen Yan bowing his head, twisting his eyebrows, his expression changed, and he was also thinking about how to deal with it in his heart.

It is true that the treasury has no money, and it is also true that the military salary cannot be embezzled, and the summer grain has not been collected yet, and these vassal kings can't afford to provoke it, what should I do?

Chen Yan's expression was unpredictable, and his heart was extremely anxious, if he allowed these vassal kings to make trouble, the government and the opposition would definitely be rampant, and he was already trembling, where could he endure such a wave.

Chen Yan couldn't think about what to do, and suddenly turned to Gao Hongtu and said, "Gao Shilang, you are in the household department, shouldn't you make some efforts?" ”

Gao Hongtu was stunned for a moment and said, "How should the lower officials contribute?" ”

Chen Yan glanced around and said in a low voice: "You are the one who recruited Xibo, you will definitely be able to borrow silver from Zhengxibo, it doesn't matter how much, in short, you can be in an emergency." No matter how bad it is, you know the Zhou's ticket number, it is also the property of Xibo, you are the person who is Xibo, you borrow 300,000 in the name of the household department, no, 500,000, you can always borrow it, right? ”

Gao Hongtu thought it was a good way, and his chest exploded after listening to it, and he had to go to Zheng Xibo to ask for silver? Are you not at odds with the conquest of Zeb? How can you have the face to say it?

Gao Hongtu said expressionlessly: "My lord, do you think that if Zheng Xibo is willing to give, can you wait until now?" ”

When Chen Yan heard it, Zhou Zheng couldn't wait to see their jokes, how could he help them?

He wrinkled his brow again, lost in thought.

At this time, King Lu and the others did not see Chen Yan in the back hall, and they were immediately furious, smashing cups and chairs everywhere in the household, and scolding angrily.

Chen Zhenqing was punched a few times and also dodged out.

These princes are rampant in the household, looking for people everywhere, scolding, and even, when they see a little good thing, they directly put it into their arms, and the older ones are picked up, carried, and carried.

At the same time, Li Hengbing was in Zhou Zheng's class room, listening to Zhou Zheng's words.

Zhou Zheng put down the teacup and said, "I want all the vassal kings in the world to enter Beijing, and don't leave these in Beijing." ”

Li Hengbing pondered Zhou Zheng's intentions and said: "This is not difficult, under the pretext of 'discussing the vassal kings', all the vassal kings are summoned to Beijing, except for Sichuan and other places, there is no problem with others." What do you want to do? ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "You take the first step first. ”

Li Hengbing couldn't guess, so he had to say, "Okay." I still have a few vassal kings who surrendered to Li Zicheng, and if someone wants to leave Beijing, I will hook them up and go directly to prison. ”

Zhou Zheng nodded indispensably and said: "A 'Qingfeng Operation' is brewing in Shuntianfu, mainly targeting those ruffians and other lawbreakers, and the Criminal Department will also take action here, if there is a shortage of manpower, I will send someone to you." ”

Li Hengbing naturally knew that Yin Zhoufang of Shuntian Mansion was Zhou Zheng's eldest brother, and said, "Okay, I'll go back and talk to Zhou Mansion Yin." ”

Zhou Zheng tapped his fist lightly on the table, raised his eyes to look at Li Hengbing, and said, "It won't be long, there will be some trouble, mainly those officials, you have to find a way to clean it up for me." ”

Li Hengbing's eyes flashed coldly, and he said, "Have you started?" ”

Zhou Zheng snorted and said, "What to start?" Just do what I tell you to do. ”

Li Hengbing knew that he couldn't ask what to say, so he left in response.

Zhou Zheng picked up a blank text and prepared to write a notebook about military reform, listening to Li Hengbing's footsteps, still thinking about this matter in his heart.

Vassal kings, this group is too special, if you want to deal with it, not only the emperor will not agree, but also the hundred officials, let alone the world's scholars, and even ordinary people will not.

This is the 'national capital', one of the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, shaking the clan, is shaking the Ming Dynasty!

"There has to be a good reason." Zhou Zheng muttered to himself.

When Li Hengbing left the palace, those vassal kings also went out of the household department. They took out a lot of things from the household, but they didn't have a lot of silver.

They yelled angrily, but there was no other way.

A group of people returned to the restaurant and began to think of other options. Then, they set out overnight and walked around the capital.

Early the next morning, there were more than 30 scripts, all of which impeached Chen Yan and others, accusing them of 'mistreating the clan and shaking the country', 'seeing no king, wantonly lawlessness', 'the clan is hungry and cold, what is the face of the world?' Wait.

These are all public scripts, and the capital is already noisy, and it is suddenly boiling, and the whole capital is talking about it.
