Chapter 25 Princess, Let's Go to Your House to Move Money (Recommended Ticket)
Zhu Cihong got the holy decree written by Emperor Chongzhen himself, and pulled the king's heart out of the Qianqing Palace. His East Palace guards were waiting outside the Qianqing Palace at this time, and the three East Palace speakers, Chen Rui, Li Shichun and Lin Zengzhi, as well as Qiu Zhizhong and Huang Dabao, the two accompanying eunuchs, were also guarding there.
Because they all knew the severity, they were all nervous, and they didn't speak, just looking at the gate of the Qianqing Palace. Now seeing Zhu Cihong coming out with a smile, still holding the holy decree and a Shang Fang sword, followed by the sad face of the king's heart, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
In any case, Chitose Ye has not been imprisoned after all, so what benefits does it seem to have?
"Chitose Lord, what decree did the emperor give you?" Huang Dabao was Zhu Cihong's closest confidant, so he was the first to step forward, and after a salute, he asked.
"Time is tight, let's talk on the way!" Zhu Cihong then turned his head to Wang Xinxin and said, "Wang Companion, lead the way." ”
"Lead the way?" Wang Zhixin was stunned, "Where are you going?" ”
"Go to your house!" Zhu Cihong said with a smile.
"What are you doing at the old slave's house?" The voice of the king's heart trembled.
"Of course it's moving silver!" Zhu Cihong smiled, "Wang Banban, who doesn't know that you are the richest man among the internal officials?" ”
When Wang Zhixin heard this, his legs and stomach were weak, so he knelt down for Zhu Cihong, "The old slave has no money, the old slave has already donated 10,000 taels, and his family has gone bankrupt......"
"Really?" As Zhu Cihong spoke, he handed over the holy decree to Huang Dabao, and then took Shang Fang's sword in his hand.
"Chitose Lord spares his life...... Spare your life! Wang Zhixin was so frightened that he kowtowed like garlic, but there was still no money, "The old slave really has no money!" The old slave is bankrupt......"
Zhu Cihong looked at him asking for money and didn't want to die, and laughed out loud, "Wang Zhixin, don't be afraid, this Shang Fang Sword can only kill ten people, you are not qualified enough!" ”
It's good that I don't have the qualifications...... Wang Zhixin breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to stand up.
Zhu Cihong said leisurely: "Actually...... The gold and silver in your house are no longer yours! How heavy that thing is! When the palace protects your father and the emperor to break through, how can there be so many big cars to load you with silver? Staying at home is also cheaper, isn't it? ”
"The old slave really has no money......
"Really no money?" Zhu Cihong smiled, "Then you can run for the palace and find Cao Huachun to come to the inner school." said that the palace had a benefit for him, and asked him to go out of the city to Tongzhou and Tianjin to pass the decree...... You can also give him an hour to clean up the gold and silver in the house, as long as you leave what you can't take away to the palace to pay for the army.
Wang Banban, this opportunity was originally yours! Now it's time for Cao Huachun! Think about it, you really don't want to go out of the city with gold and silver? That's a real ruin! ”
You can legally leave the dangerous place of Beijing with the gold and silver you have worked so hard to get from! What could be more appealing to the King's Heart?
As for the good thing of surrendering Li Zicheng to protect his family property...... Originally, Wang Zhixin dared to think about it, but now he was grabbed by Zhu Cihong, and he still wanted to be a fart! When the time comes, we will break through together, and if you can't go, you will die! If you go out of the city now, you can not only save some of your family property, but also save your old life, what a good thing!
"How? Got rich? Zhu Cihong said in a seductive voice, "You are no better than other internal officials, your younger brother is a general soldier in Susong, and he has soldiers in his hands...... When you get to Jiangnan, the palace and your father will rely on you! Even if the source of some silver is unknown, this palace does not account for it. And this palace promises that I will not tell my father how much silver was removed from your house...... You're still a good eunuch of my Ming Dynasty! ”
"Rich, rich, rich...... Wang Zhixin gritted his teeth, "The old slave remembered, the old slave is rich!" ”
"How much can you give to Hongu?" Zhu Cihong asked.
"Two, two hundred thousand taels of silver!"
"Okay, good, you're really a good eunuch!" Zhu Cihong nodded again and again, "Then you hurry back and prepare the cart to load the money...... The order will be sent to your house by Mr. Chen later. There were two copies, one for Song Quan, the governor of Shuntian, and one for Feng Yuanyang, the governor of Tianjin. ”
"The old slave received the order, the old slave immediately went home to prepare, and the old slave thanked the Chitose master."
Before today, Wang Zhixin probably never dreamed that he would thank a person who took his 200,000 taels of silver from the bottom of his heart.
But this incredible thing really happened!
Two hundred thousand taels of silver, and that's it!
Bi Jiucheng, Chen Rui, Li Shichun, Lin Zengzhi, Huang Dabao and Qiu Zhizhong, who saw this scene with their own eyes, were dumbfounded.
In order to make some money, Emperor Chongzhen made the city full of storms, so he almost knelt down and begged those corrupt officials to kill the eunuchs, just like that, he only got less than 200,000 taels.
And Zhu Cihong coaxed 200,000 from Wang Zhixin in a few words...... And the king's heart is also grateful!
There is really no one who can compare with the level of making money!
Several people thought together: If this prince and the emperor were to be replaced, what kind of rogue and what kind of Dongyu would have been bulldozed a long time ago, right?
"What are you doing in a daze?" Zhu Cihong found that the people who followed him were in a daze, and urged repeatedly, "Hurry up, get busy!" Pressed for time!
Huang Dabao, Qiu Zhizhong, the two of you go to get the decree and the seal of the palace, and send them to the inner school.
Mr. Chen, Mr. Lin, Mr. Li, and Bi Shishu, you go to the inner school first, and when the decree and seal arrive, they will immediately give orders to Feng Yuanyang, Song Quan, Wang Yongji, Gao Di, and Wu Sangui in the name of the palace, telling them that the palace is now out of the palace to raise the army, and the governor is directly under the military affairs, and they are all under the control of the palace.
Then he ordered Wu Sangui to immediately lead his troops to move closer to the Beijing Division, and at the same time divide his troops all the way to Tianjin Wei to garrison.
Order Song Quan to recruit a strong force to hold Tongzhou no matter what, until the arrival of the palace escort!
Ordered Feng Yuanyang to prepare the sailors of the sea ship......
Everyone else, follow the palace, let's go to Cao Huachun's house! ”
Zhu Cihong's East Palace foreman guard Zhu Chunjie was stunned when he heard this, "Master Chitose, haven't you already let Wang Zhixin go out of the city to pass the decree?" ”
Zhu Cihong sneered: "There are a lot of decrees in this palace to be transmitted!" By the way, that Zhu Chunchen is your cousin, right? He also has money, you go and ask him, do you want to take the money out of the city? ”
Everyone admires Zhu Cihong even more now, this prince is really good at trading! Even sending people out of the city to deliver the decree to him has become a business for money.
However, these guys who only have money in their eyes have not seen through Zhu Cihong's true thoughts.
Money, of course, is good! But the purpose of getting Cao Huachun and Zhu Chunchen out of the city is not only for two money, but to eliminate the hidden dangers in the city.
Because Zhu Cihong's previous life was also a descendant of Ming Taizu, he paid special attention to the historical materials of the Ming Dynasty. knew that Cao Huachun and Zhu Chunchen were both suspected of opening the door to welcome the surrender!
Of course, the record of this history is not very clear, and the historical data cannot be trusted. So Zhu Cihong didn't want to slaughter them indiscriminately, after all, Chongzhen only gave him a quota of ten people to cut people, so he had to save some money.
Therefore, Zhu Cihong simply sent these two unreliable elements recorded in the history books out of the city. In addition, Zhu Cihong also wanted to send an errand to Cao Huachun.
However, some things were still beyond Zhu Cihong's expectations, just when he went to Cao Huachun to do business in person, Zhu Chunjie's cousin Zhu Chunchen was called to the palace by Emperor Chongzhen.
It turned out that this Zhu Chunchen was Chongzhen's most trusted noble, and in history, Emperor Chongzhen wrote an edict before committing suicide, ordering Zhu Chunchen to lead the armies and assist the crown prince Zhu Cihong.
However, this time Emperor Chongzhen asked Zhu Chunchen to enter the palace, not to let him assist Zhu Cihong, but to discuss with him how to guard against Zhu Cihong......
At present, there are more than 12,000 defenders in Beijing, of which 5,000 Beijing battalion soldiers have been on the city wall, and it is impossible to mobilize. Among the remaining more than 7,000 people, Zhu Cihong's clean army composed of the martyr battalion and eunuchs accounted for almost 6,000, and there were more than 1,000 people who were the teams of Daqiwei and Jinyiwei.
In other words, the army in Zhu Cihong's hands has made Emperor Chongzhen helpless. Moreover, Zhu Cihong is also Wu Xiang's son-in-law and Wu Sangui's brother-in-law. Emperor Chongzhen is still counting on Wu Sangui to save his life!
In this case, Chongzhen had no choice but to retreat and let Zhu Cihong go to the military affairs of the Governor's Division. However, he was not at ease to hand over all the defense of Beijing City to Zhu Cihong. So he called his most trusted Zhu Chunchen, wanting him to be in charge of the defense of the imperial city, and also wanted him to pull up an army to guard against Zhu Cihong.
