After the news of Dingguo Gong being forced to donate came out, Guozhang Zhou Kui couldn't sit still.

Although Jinyiwei's intelligence said that the Qing army's 200,000 troops were already coming in the direction of Beijing, let's come, the Qing army wants to fight the emperor, and since the emperor can defeat Li Zicheng's 500,000 army, the Qing army's 200,000 is no problem. Besides, the whole world is owned by the emperor, and the emperor just collects more taxes from those people.

In case, if the Qing army really wins, it's a big deal that I will surrender at that time.

I heard that those officials who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty were still reinstated, nothing has changed, and some of the titles are still high, look at Wu Sangui, Pingxibo has become the king of Pingxi, maybe my Jiadingbo can become the king of Jiading!

The most important problem now is not to let the household department come to my house. The family's silver was dug up by Zhu Youzhen on that dog day, and now there is only this food left!

Zhou Kui looked at the food at home, there were more than 2,000 stones!

Zhou Kui was so angry that he wanted to commit suicide when he thought that the silver hidden in the cellar at home had been dug up by Chongzhen under the pretext that it was the inheritance left to him by Taizu. Zhu Youzhen, a dog, actually attacked your father-in-law! He dug up all the money! It's too ruthless, it's too ruthless! O heaven, and earth, my two million taels of silver, and three hundred thousand taels of gold!

Why did you say that there was no money in your house at that time? Zhu You, who was inspected by the dog, said that it was left to him by Emperor Taizu.

No, you must keep this more than 1,000 stone of grain, this food, Zhu Youzhen of the dog day did not say to borrow, but to donate, donate, it will be gone!

Zhou Kui thought about it, and suddenly thought of a person, Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, yes, only him, the emperor would scruple three points!

So Zhou Kui hurried to the Chengguo Mansion, and without handing over the post, he broke in, and the servant saw that it was the abbot, so he didn't stop Zhou Kui.

"Cheng Guogong, Cheng Guogong!" Zhou Kui shouted as he rushed into the hall after entering.

Zhu Chunchen came to take a look, the abbot rushed into his house, and guessed what the abbot was going to say, this abbot was so stingy that he was going to die, and the emperor wanted to forcibly donate food and money, and Zhou Kui must be the first unwilling to do so.

This is also the reason why Zhu Chunchen is not in a hurry, the emperor wants to be even-handed, you want to donate grain, start with your father-in-law!

Anyway, your father-in-law won't want to, so we won't either......

Although he guessed Zhou Kui's purpose, Zhu Chunchen still pretended not to understand, "Is there anything wrong with the prince coming to me in such a hurry?" ”

Zhou Kui panted and said, "The emperor wants hundreds of civil and military officials to dismiss their servants and donate food and soft at home, even we, the emperor's relatives and relatives, are no exception, such unreasonable and unheard of things, you won't stop the emperor from doing anything?" Looking at the Manchu Dynasty, you have the ability to stop the emperor. ”

Zhou Kui is right, the ancestor of Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, is the famous Jingnan hero Zhu Neng, Zhu Neng first followed Zhu Di to conquer Mobei, and later made great achievements in the Battle of Jingnan, surrendered 100,000 southern troops, and was named Chengguo Gong by Zhu Di. After Zhu Chunchen took the title, he was the most reused by Chongzhen in the capital Guogong Mansion, first crowned the Taifu, assisted the prince Zhu Cihong, and later appointed as the governor of Beijing. It can be said that Zhu Chunchen is the existence of one person above and below ten thousand people, and only a person like Zhu Chunchen can speak with weight, and Chongzhen has to scruple.

As soon as Zhu Chunchen heard Zhou Kui say this, you are Zhou Kui, you don't even say it, you want me to be an arrow rake, is my Zhu Chunchen so easy to fool? Everyone knows that the emperor recruited half of the soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp into the Jinyi Guard, and then suddenly went to Shanxi to copy the homes of a few merchants, and recruited the Tianziwei there. That means that the emperor has confidence, the emperor wants Juntian to donate food and silver, can I do it to the emperor? The emperor is your son-in-law, if you don't stand up against it, let me stand up?

"Guozhang, you are entertaining me, you are the ruler of the dynasty, compared with you, how can I be qualified to persuade ah."

Zhou Kui was anxious, "Then can I only let the emperor come so nonsense?" Have you heard, the household department has dismissed all the servants of Dingguo Gong, confiscated 2,000 stone of grain, and 200,000 taels of silver! ”

"Then what else can I do, I'm preparing to dismiss the servants at home, isn't the abbot ready to be dismissed?" Zhu Chunchen said as if he didn't care.

Zhou Kui stomped his feet angrily when he saw Zhu Chunchen's indifferent appearance, "Oh, Chengguo Gong, if you continue like this, you will make a fuss!" ”

"But it's not easy to do," Zhu Chunchen still didn't care.

"If you don't persuade it, forget it, anyway, I don't have any money in my family, just a little food, you are willing to donate all your family wealth, I just have this bit of food, I ...... I...... I donated! ”

Zhou Kui looked at Zhu Chunchen as if he didn't care, and he was sad, if he really let the household department implement this policy of eating for all people, then the few hundred taels of silver and a bunch of grain left in the family would not be able to be saved.

Zhou Kui is a very stingy person, and silver is Zhou Kui's lifeblood!

"Alas" Zhu Chunchen looked at Zhou Kui, sighed and continued, "I don't know what the emperor thinks, dismissed the servants, this Nuoda's house is empty, what do we want to live in?" We're all relatives of the royal family. ”

"That's right, that's right, your ancestor Zhu Neng, risked his life to follow Emperor Chengzu to fight in the south and north, and finally won such a title, saved this little inheritance, and the silver produced in this grain field was collected, what kind of work did we have" Zhou Kui heard Zhu Chunchen say this, and saw a glimmer of hope, this Zhu Chunchen seemed to be willing to stand on the same line with him, "Chengguo Gong should think of a way to let the emperor take back this policy." ”

"If you want the emperor to retract this order, it's actually not difficult," Zhu Chunchen said in a tricky way.

"Cheng Guogong quickly talk about it"

"Whether the emperor can take back his fate depends on the prince and the queen's mother" Zhu Chunchen said casually, "Didn't this happen five years ago?"

Five years ago......

Zhou Kui understood, five years of money, they did it once!

Chongzhen borrowed money from Li Guorui, the descendant of Empress Dowager Li's mother's family, Li Guorui was obviously known for being rich but pretended to have no money, and put the family's broken copper and iron on the street to sell, saying that the state asked him to give 200,000 taels, and although he had no money, he would smash the pot and sell iron to lend to the imperial court. This is a slap in Chongzhen's face! Chongzhen was furious, so he took Li Guorui's house and put him in prison, as a result, Li Guorui was scared to death in the prison, and later Chongzhen's favorite little prince of Tian Guifei died inexplicably, and some palace maids said that Empress Dowager Li came back from a dream to blame Chongzhen for abusing the clan and slaughtering relatives, so frightened that Emperor Chongzhen quickly returned the property to the Li family, and also made Li Guorui's seven-year-old son a marquis, which calmed down the incident.

That time, Chongzhen didn't dare to borrow money from the emperor's relatives anymore, and the queen's rival Tian Guifei also died a prince.

They won big!
