Zhang Fan said that the money came from him, the sentence itself is very simple, the reason is also very clear, there is no ambiguity, the sentence is also very short, and there will be no ambiguity at all, however, the point is not here, the point is that Zhang Fan's words made everyone present stunned.

How to say it, the matter that we are facing now, no matter what, is a major national event, no matter whether money will be given in the end, it is a matter of the imperial court, and it is not something that a certain person can control, and what Zhang Fan wants to do now is to say that it is small to reduce disputes, and to say that it is a matter of participating in war preparedness with personal strength, but it is more than that, but this is more and more powerful, and it seems to be a little boundless.

Of course, although this thing sounds so incredible, it can be said that it is beyond one's power to want to participate in this kind of thing by oneself, but it can also be said to be a kind of show-off, in history, it is not that no one has done it, in fact, someone in the Ming Dynasty has done it.

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to build the Great Wall, but because there was no silver tael, he had to find someone to repair it together, so he found the famous Shen Wansan, and Shen Wansan agreed, but Zhu Yuanzhang meant that one person repaired half, but Shen Wansan didn't feel that it was enjoyable, he had to repair it all.

This has already made Zhu Yuanzhang very unhappy, but Shen Wansan is unconscious, and even later said that he can't spend his money, and he wants to give a tael of silver to all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as making Zhu Yuanzhang really angry.

In the end, Shen Wansan's fate is very sad, after all, even if Shen Wansan is rich and rivals the country, but he is only a businessman after all, and his social status is not as good as that of a peasant worker, and Zhu Yuanzhang, as the emperor, is not very easy to punish him.

As a result, as long as you find a reason casually, and the Shen family was raided three times, and Shen Wansan was also exiled to Yunnan three times, all in all, although money can make ghosts grind, but money is not omnipotent after all, after all, money can't despise everything, Shen Wansan is paying the price for his arrogance.

It's just that now Zhang Fan has come forward to say this, is it possible that he wants to follow in the footsteps of Shen Wansan, no, of course Zhang Fan will not do that, first of all, his status is different from the original Shen Wansan, after all, he is a scholar, and he is the highest class in this society, second only to the imperial power, and besides, he is also different from Shen Wansan, the relationship between Shen Wansan and the person in power Zhu Yuanzhang is not good, and it can even be said to be bad, but Zhang Fan's relationship with the person in power is not ordinary.

In short, the two are completely different existences, but for those present, especially those who were still singing the opposite tone just now, that is not the case.

"I don't know what Lord Taifu means," Immediately, someone who came back to his senses looked sneering and said to Zhang Fan, "Is it possible, Lord Taifu thinks that the army of the imperial court needs Taifu's silver money to provide it, or does it mean that Lord Taifu really has so much silver, Your Majesty, if Weichen is not mistaken, Lord Taifu has not been in the office for ten years, how can there be such millions of taels of silver," He not only wants to sue Zhang Fan for the intention of replacement, but also for Zhang Fan's crime of greedy ink.

Zhang Fan is very rich, this matter is no secret in the DPRK and China, so many banquets, including some others, have shown signs of this, but the people in the DPRK, there are not many people who know why Zhang Fan is so rich, and there are actually only a few people who know the truth, for others, Zhang Fan's huge wealth actually comes from a series of "gray income", but Zhang Fan is very favored, so no one wants to impeach him.

But now, Zhang Fan said this matter by himself, it is different, since he has admitted it himself, then there is no problem with talking about this matter again, so everyone present also sees hope.

To be honest, for Zhang Fan, in fact, people in the court don't have too many ideas, firstly, because Zhang Fan is indeed relatively low-key and not too public, and secondly, because Zhang Fan is in the court, almost never took the initiative to find anyone in trouble, although the duty of Jinyiwei is inseparable from finding trouble, but Zhang Fan will not do it blindly, the most important point is that if Jinyiwei catches the wrong person, he can still release people unscathed, which is simply a miracle.

So for Zhang Fan, generally speaking, people's impressions are very good, but this does not mean that people will not have any thoughts about Zhang Fan, and it is precisely because Zhang Fan's performance never seems too tough that they all feel that maybe it is okay to make some trouble with him, but in fact, it is more of a jealous mentality.

But this matter, to be honest, they just want to find trouble, and they don't expect to achieve anything, although it is said that suing Zhang Fan for greedy ink may be successful, after all, since Zhang Fan said such a thing just now, it is the best evidence, even the emperor can't openly protect it, but they don't think that Zhang Fan will be what to do, at most it is just a few sentences.

It's just that things won't go as smoothly as they think.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has something to say about this matter," Before these people could figure out how to impeach Zhang Fan's words, someone on the side stood up and spoke, it was Ge Shouli, "Please also ask Your Majesty, if it is inconvenient for the court, and the minister pays for the court affairs out of his own pocket, is it too much?"

"This naturally doesn't count," Zhu Yijun didn't think about it, so he replied, "I have also received a book from Liaodong, Li Chengliang also spent a lot of money in order to resist Wang Gao, and almost all of his money was used on it, no matter how big or small the money is, the nature is the same, and the courtiers themselves are willing to pay, so there is no problem,"

"In that case, a few adults," after Ge Shouli finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the few people who were about to find fault, and said, "Then there is no problem for Lord Zhang to do this matter, and there is no reason for him to impeach Lord Zhang,"

In fact, since Ge Shouli stood up, these people have been quite confused in their hearts, Ge Shouli's personality, everyone present is very clear, he hates this kind of corrupt person the most, plus he is the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, this kind of thing is almost in his charge, but Ge Shouli actually spoke for Zhang Fan, which made these people incomprehensible.

"It's really not wrong for a courtier to do something out of his own pocket," but even if he couldn't figure it out, some of them still had something to say, "However, this matter costs millions of dollars, and listening to what Lord Zhang means, it is all up to him alone, it's really nonsense, how much is a year for a member of the imperial court, and as soon as Lord Zhang opens his mouth, it is a million taels of silver, which is simply a king's law, in the past, Taizu had an agreement, and all officials who were greedy for more than ten taels of silver would be divided by capital punishment, Your Majesty, if Weichen is not mistaken, This one hasn't been abolished yet,"

But Zhu Yijun on the stage looked like he was in a good mood, sitting there without moving, as if he wasn't worried about Zhang Fan's troubles at all.

"Master Zhang," Ge Shouli didn't answer them immediately, but looked at Zhang Fan and cast an inquiring look.

Facing Ge Shouli, Zhang Fan also smiled and nodded.

"Since Lord Zhang agreed, the official said," Ge Shouli looked at those people again and said, "Lord Zhang does have this money, and this is when the official was the head of the household department, the emperor personally ordered a reward to Lord Zhang, so now what Lord Zhang is willing to use, how much to use is the business of Lord Zhang, and it has nothing to do with any greed or the like,"

"However, a million taels of silver, how could the emperor be," At that moment, some people were immediately surprised, indeed, millions of taels of silver as a reward is indeed unusual, and even incomprehensible, but how can they understand that the truth is far from what they think.

"I think you still remember that Lord Zhang was ordered by the emperor to go to Jiangnan to investigate the corruption case," Ge Shouli said, "It's just that there are some things that you don't know, back then, when Lord Zhang returned to Beijing from Jiangnan, he brought back a total of more than 50 million taels of dirty silver,"

"What, there are so many,"

"I didn't expect ......"

“……”

Immediately, there was a lot of talk from below.

"These more than 50 million taels of silver, according to the orders of the first emperor......" Ge Shouli continued, "Thirty percent went into the treasury of the household department, thirty percent went into His Majesty's inner treasury, and the remaining forty percent, totaling more than 20,000 taels of silver, were all given to Lord Zhang by the first emperor,"

The more than 50 million taels of silver just now, as soon as this figure was reported, it really surprised everyone present, but that's all.

However, what Ge Shouli said next, forty percent of them, more than 20 million taels of silver, were all given to Zhang Fan by Zhu Zaiyuan, which is different.

After all, for a country, no matter how much silver there is, it is just surprising, but for a person, more than 20 million taels, what kind of concept is that?

It's just that when these people were surprised, they really couldn't understand it, but since Ge Shouli said it, then there was no question of truth or falsehood at all.

It's just that how could these people know that the reason why Zhu Zaiyuan would reward Zhang Fan with so much silver was just for Zhu Zaiyuan's own indecent desires.

However, none of this matters now, after all, as long as you know that Zhang Fan's money is legitimate, it is enough.
