Chapter 203: The Minister 'Asks for Debts'
Originally, the hundreds of large ships guarded by Jinyi guards on the docks of Tongzhou had already attracted people's attention.
Now, watching carts and truckloads of things being transported to the palace by cars and cars of Longxiang and Huxiang and two guards, it immediately aroused heated discussions among the people of the capital.
In the past, the people of the capital have not seen sending things to the palace.
It's the first time they've seen so many things at once.
In particular, the minister of Kyozato understood what was being transported to the palace with just a little brain.
At this moment, the ministers suddenly couldn't sit still.
In particular, Zhu Kaishan, the head of the household.
Last year, in the case of Yangzhou salt affairs and the ticket number in Jinzhong, the Son of Heaven sent the confiscated things to the palace, and all that was left for the treasury was to write soup and water.
This time, it was good, and he didn't even leave a little soup and water for the treasury.
As a household secretary, how could Zhu Kaishan be willing?
So early in the morning, Zhu Kaishan wrote a recital, and went to the palace before he had breakfast.
What to say, Zhu Kaishan also has to dig a piece of fat for the treasury.
In fact, it is not only Zhu Kaishan who is like this.
Zheng Yongji, the first assistant of the cabinet, Chen Yiming, the secretary of the ministry, Li Guangtai, the imperial history of Zuodu, and others all thought so.
When they came to the Heart Cultivation Palace, everyone just glanced at each other and understood each other's intentions.
At this time, Feng Xi hurriedly walked out of the Heart Cultivation Hall and said, "A few adults, Long Live Lord has just rested, why don't you come back tomorrow?" ”
How could Zheng Yongji and others be willing?
After all, only God knows, and after knowing the news, the Holy Lord will have a moth tomorrow.
"I don't think I can give His Majesty time to react!" This is the unanimous thought of Zheng Yongji and others.
"I was tired of my father-in-law Sun to wake up Your Majesty, and said that the ministers and others had important matters to discuss with Your Majesty."
"This ......" Sun Sheng's face was full of embarrassment, "It's not that our family doesn't pass it on to a few adults, Your Majesty has indeed just rested." ”
"Sun Sheng, who's coming outside?" At this time, Zhang Lingyang's voice came from the faint hall inside.
Hearing Zhang Lingyang's voice, Li Guangtai's eyes flickered slightly, and he shouted: "Your Majesty, Minister Li Guangtai and Zheng Yongji, the first assistant of the cabinet, Chen Yiming, the secretary of the ministry, and Zhu Kaishan, the secretary of the household department, jointly ask to see you. ”
In the hall, Zhang Lingyang, who had just been lying on the bed, faintly heard a voice coming from outside the hall, so he asked.
At this time, when I heard Li Guangtai, Zheng Yongji, Chen Yiming, and Zhu Kaishan jointly asking to see him, I thought that something big had happened in the court, so I cheered up and started from the bed, and said: "Come in!" ”
When Zheng Yongji and the others entered the hall, they saw Zhang Lingyang sitting on the bed, with a robe draped over his body, and his face was full of exhaustion.
Zheng Yongji and the others really didn't hear about last night's incident, and thought it was caused by Zhang Lingyang's excessive 'royal' girl yesterday, so they couldn't help but persuade them......
During this period, Li Guangtai naturally had to quote from the sidelines, saying some of the disadvantages of the emperor's indulgence in women.
Zhang Lingyang smiled bitterly, so he had to nod his head again and again.
Who made him, the emperor, this image in the eyes of his subjects?
Besides, Zhang Lingyang didn't want to change anything.
After all, it's much happier to be a faint monarch than to be a holy lord Mingjun, isn't it?
Stopping the gushing Li Guangtai, Zhang Lingyang asked, "Several Aiqing came together, but what do I have to decide?" ”
Several people glanced at each other, and Zheng Yongji said: "Your Majesty, Weichen heard that the income from Jinyiwei's family raid in Jiangnan has been brought back to the capital, I don't know when it will be charged to the treasury?" ”
"This ......" Zhang Lingyang laughed dryly, pursed his lips and said, "Who is Zheng Aiqing listening to?" Why haven't I heard of any looting? ”
Seeing Zhang Lingyang say this, Zheng Yongji glanced at Zhang Lingyang wordlessly, but he didn't break it.
Li Guangtai didn't have so many scruples, he didn't care about Zhang Lingyang's face at all, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty is not going to deceive the ministers and others."
The day before yesterday, hundreds of large ships arrived at the Tongzhou wharf, and yesterday the two guards of Long Xiang and Hu Xiang delivered another day's things to the palace.
Could it be that Your Majesty thinks that the ministers are blind? ”
Li Guangtai was so careless, Zhang Lingyang's face was white for a while and red for a while, and he couldn't get off the stage for a while.
Seeing this, Zheng Yongji secretly blamed Li Guangtai.
Afraid that Zhang Lingyang would be angry for a while and play a scoundrel, Zheng Yongji opened his mouth and said: "I think Your Majesty is because the materials transported are too opposed, and the imperial court can't spare so many people to carry them for a while, so I ordered Long Xiang and Hu Xiang to move into the palace to take care of them.
In any case, it is much safer to keep things in the palace than outside the palace.
Li Yushi, how can you beak Your Majesty like this?
Your Majesty's mind, how can we speculate? Why don't you hurry up and apologize to Your Majesty? ”
While speaking, Zheng Yongji winked at Li Guangtai.
On the side, Chen Yiming and Zhu Kaishan also 'verbally criticized' Li Guangtai.
"Li Yushi, the old man really didn't expect you to think so much about Your Majesty. The entire Great Zhou is His Majesty's, how could His Majesty abolish the public because of private affairs? ”
"Yes! His Majesty must have had to put the stolen goods in the palace for safekeeping, for security reasons. Your Majesty is rich all over the world, how can he look down on those things? ”
……
Although Chen Yiming and Zhu Kaishan are crusading against Li Guangtai in their mouths, what they actually mean, as long as they are not fools, anyone can hear it.
"Isn't the old man afraid that His Majesty will forget about this and give His Majesty a wake-up call?" Li Guangtai muttered in a voice that anyone in the hall could hear.
Seeing Li Guangtai say this, Zheng Yongji and the others immediately looked at Zhang Lingyang with blank eyes, seeing how he replied.
"That's it!" Zhang Lingyang was angry and funny: "You people sing and harmonize, do you really think I am a fool?" ”
Although the 'conspiracy' was discovered by Zhang Lingyang, no one present was embarrassed.
Zheng Yongji even said with a 'hehe' smile: "Your Majesty is still wise, and the ministers can't catch up with him." ”
Squinting at Zheng Yongji, Zhang Lingyang said: "The income from the Jiangnan family was indeed taken to the palace yesterday.
But what I want to tell you is that if you want to get it back from me, do you want to think about it? ”
Seeing Zhang Lingyang say this, Li Guangtai became anxious and wanted to open his mouth to advise.
Zhang Lingyang waved his hand and said with a 'wry smile': "A few Aiqing, I won't tell you that I have rewarded the concubines in the harem with the income from the robbery."
If a few Aiqing don't believe it, I will order Sun Sheng to take the list and read it to a few Aiqing. ”
As he spoke, Zhang Lingyang gave Sun Sheng a look.
Sun Sheng immediately felt a chill in his back.
Half of the things that were transported to the palace yesterday were put into the treasury, and the rest of the things were taken by the nobles in the harem and less than one-tenth.
"How's that okay?" Walking out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Sun Sheng's head was covered with fine sweat......
