Chapter Seventy-Eight: I Will Not Judge the Case
Zhang Heming frowned, and suddenly said, "Your Highness, everyone is waiting now, Your Highness, when are we waiting?" ”
Zhu Xu looked at Zhang Heming, as if he was the chief judge, not the prisoner. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhu Xu is not a vegetarian either, so he immediately opened his eyes, looked at him, and slowly turned his head to look at Liao Tianyong.
Liao Tianyong was already uneasy in his heart, and he didn't know what His Royal Highness King Hui was doing outside, but at this moment, he had to bite the bullet and say to Zhang Heming: "How can the lobby of the Criminal Department allow you to roar, wait!" ”
Zhang Heming saw Zhu Xu acting like this, and his heart was even more uneasy. But he was just uneasy, he didn't think Zhu Xu could do anything to him.
He has been in the court for decades, and he has long figured out that if it is a small crime, a group of people will want to trample him to death, but if it is a major crime, there will be a large group of people to protect him! According to his predictions, he will be demoted and exiled at best, and there will be no danger.
It didn't take long for Cao Wenzhao to run in in a hurry.
"Later."
When Zhu Xu saw it, he stood up and walked towards the side door.
Liao Tianyong and the others wanted to stop and ask, but they had no reason to do so, so they could only be in a hurry.
Zhang Guoji's face was worried, he groaned, and followed into the side door.
"Your Highness, it's all sealed."
Cao Wenzhao followed behind Zhu Xu and said excitedly.
Zhu Xu was also a little uncontrollable, stood up and asked, "Tell me about the situation." ”
Cao Wenzhao paused, organized the language, and said: "In addition to the previous raids of the military department, the account books of each yamen have been collected, and a rough calculation shows that it exceeds 50 million taels. ”
Zhu Xu immediately raised his eyebrows, this is a rough calculation, plus the various yamen, the small treasury and the private collection of the yamen, the actual number is even larger than he estimated!
"The capital is really prosperous."
The corners of Zhu Xu's mouth curled slightly, and he sighed as if he was smiling. At this time, the most prosperous place is not the capital, but the south of the Yangtze River. The barren and clammy land in the north, coupled with the threat of war, is far less prosperous and rich than the south of the Yangtze River, which has been in Chengping for hundreds of years.
He couldn't help but think in his heart how much 'tax' would be if he copied Nan and Jing again.
Zhang Guoji walked in from the outside, listening to the conversation between Cao Wenzhao and Zhu Xu, and his face was not very good-looking. Although he does not perform the government, he also clearly knows that the tax of the Ming Dynasty is only 2.5 million taels a year!
Fifty million taels, two million and five million taels, what an irony!
Zhu Xu glanced at Zhang Guoji, and did not shy away from him, and said: "Now you have to hurry up, you can't let them react, you gather people and transport all the belongings to the palace, act quickly!" ”
These Zhu Xu had already ordered before, and Cao Wenzhao nodded without hesitation: "It's Your Highness!" ”
As soon as Cao Wenzhao left, Zhang Guoji finally came to his senses, looked at Zhu Xu with a changed face and said, "Your Highness, you, really copied all the six yamen?" ”
Zhu Xu blinked with big eyes, and said with an innocent face: "Guogong, you can all watch, I don't know how to try the case, and I have always done what the criminal department member Wailang ordered." ”
Where would Zhang Guoji be deceived by Zhu Xu, and persuaded him bitterly, "Your Highness, hurry up and stop it, you are going to break the sky, this is not a simple matter of the six yamen......"
Zhu Xu naturally knew that the roots of the Ming Dynasty Hall had already been rotten and clean, and there was no so-called Qing official, and under the intertwined roots, moving a yamen could alarm the entire court, not to mention that he was now almost at once to the entire court of adults.
Zhu Xu nodded again and again, "Mmmm, okay." ”
When Zhang Guoji saw it, his old face was tangled together, and he said: "Your Highness, now is really not the time to mess around, the emperor didn't deal with you yesterday because the emperor didn't want to, and if it goes on like this, even if you don't want to, you can't help the emperor......"
Zhu Xu stretched out his hand and wanted to pat Zhang Guoji's shoulder, but then found that it was not high enough, coughed lowly, and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, this king is measured." With that, he walked outside with a pair of hands behind his back.
Zhang Guoji still wanted to persuade again, but there was no chance, and he sighed in his heart, and he didn't need to inform the queen, she probably knew it now.
And at this time, in the imperial study, the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Liu Shimin in front of him with some surprise, and said, "You mean, the six ministries and nine secretaries, the cabinet auxiliary ministers, most of them are here?" ”
"It's the emperor," Liu Shimin bowed and said, "The six Shangshu, Shilang, Shuntianfu, Dali Temple and other adults are almost all here, and they are waiting outside the palace." ”
Zhu Youxiao's expression changed slightly, and then he said with a deep color: "What's wrong?" ”
Liu Shimin said, "Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness King Hui confiscated the six departments and the treasury of Dali Temple, Shuntian Mansion and other yamen. ”
Zhu Youxiao was really shocked this time, he looked at Liu Shimin and said, "Say it again?" ”
Liu Shimin bowed more and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Hui has raided most of the yamen in the capital, and the property is being transported to the palace. ”
Zhu Youxiao's face changed, and his fingers unconsciously tapped on the table, but he soon realized that this was Zhu Xu's habitual action, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Let's just say that I am still sick, and no one will see me." ”
Liu Shimin hesitated for a moment and said, "It's the emperor." ”
Outside Jingyang Palace, a group of people walked around anxiously, glancing inside from time to time, sighing with regret while being impatient.
His Royal Highness King Hui has confiscated a lot of 180,000 this time, which is tens of millions of taels!
Not to mention the loss of so much silver, they also have to worry about the trouble caused by this matter, after all, they discussed it, and the report was five million taels, the gap is not a star and a half, and the emperor will definitely not spare them easily.
Of course, the most important thing is that they think that His Royal Highness King Hui is doing this, which is the root of influencing the imperial court, and it is absolutely impossible, for the sake of the Ming Society, even if it is a dead admonition, they must dissuade the emperor and severely punish King Hui!
Not long after, before the six yamen had time to stop it, carriages carrying more and more belongings into the palace, naturally quickly reached Zhu Youxiao's ears.
"How much do you say? Fifty million taels! ”
Zhu Youxiao stood up from behind the imperial table, walked in front of Liu Shimin, and said loudly.
Liu Shimin's face also moved, but he still bowed and said, "It's the emperor!" ”
"Hehe, fifty million taels!" Zhu Youxiao smiled on his face, just like before the eruption of a volcano, with a blazing fire, and said with a smile: "Fifty million taels, equivalent to my twenty years of taxes in the Ming Dynasty, how dare they!" ”
Zhu Youxiao said that in the end, he roared with all his might.
I can't help but be angry, the last ten years of the Ming Dynasty, have been extremely hard, natural disasters year after year, wars, money everywhere, but the more taxes are added to the treasury, the less they are added to the treasury, and now he understands, it turns out that most of the heads have been swallowed by this group of loyal courtiers who are for the country and the people!
Zhu Youxiao walked around in front of Liu Shimin, he wanted to kill these people in his heart, but he knew that he couldn't, he knew very well the truth that the law did not blame the public, not to mention that these people held the power of the entire world, once they caused a backlash, they would easily shake the country's foundation!
"Prudent, cautious!"
Zhu Youxiao muttered to himself, and his heart kept turning his thoughts.
Suddenly, he calmed down, and in this matter, it seems that he is the one who stands on the moral high ground!
Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao's whole person became relaxed, walked back to the dragon chair, and quickly calculated in his heart.
After a long time, he suddenly looked at Liu Shimin and asked, "What do you think of His Royal Highness King Hui?" ”
