Lu Zhenfei hesitated again and again, and while others were not paying attention, he stuffed the receipt into the cuff.

Wang Kefan saw it and didn't speak.

Zhang Han, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, also hid the receipt, closed his mouth and hung his head in frustration.

"What about the Ministry of Rites? The Ministry of Rites didn't offend you, did it? Lu Daqi suddenly shouted, he was not only a cabinet scholar, but also a secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

"No, we rarely deal with the Ministry of Rites." Wang Kefan nodded in acknowledgement.

"Then, then you also robbed the silver treasury of Guanglu Temple, why?" Lu Daqi was extremely angry.

"What's so strange about this, I'm going to rob the silver, you have the silver there, and you grabbed it, what else can there be. I said that to Zhang Han just now, just to make him feel better, don't take it seriously. Wang Kefan squatted down, put the receipt of the Ministry of Industry in front of Lu Daqi, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Take it, just this one, if you lose it, I will treat it as if I haven't received this silver." ”

"Tuk! Sincere! Sincere! ”

Huang Jin really couldn't stand it anymore, so he leaned heavily on the bluestone slab on the ground with his crutches and scolded: "Yuntai, why do you have to do this? Why bother? Even if you take all the money, you don't have to humiliate me so much, so why do you want to do it! ”

"Don't you understand, Mr. Jian? In this world, it is difficult for good people to do, and evil people are proud. As soon as I said that I would return the silver just now, they all thought I was scared and wanted to take the silver back, and Lu Daqi also yelled at me, I am now robbing it openly, and one by one I am not honest enough to continue to collect the receipts. ”

Everyone fell silent for a while, only to hear Wang Kefan continue: "I'll say it again at the end, the six yamen have the rules of the six yamen. The Chu army has the rules of the Chu army, and everything related to the Chu army must follow the rules of the Chu army. If anyone is embarrassed by me, I will also be embarrassed by him, and I will pay back all the principal and interest, and I will never be in arrears! ”

Huang Jin's face became more and more ugly, and his expression was entangled: "Yuntai is happy to do this, although he is happy for a while, but have you thought about it?" If other military towns follow suit and use force to ask for military salaries and food, the court will be left behind. Isn't it chaos in the world? ”

In addition to the Chu army, there are other warlords, you do the first year of junior high school, and they do the fifteenth. They all brought soldiers and horses into Beijing to make trouble. It can even cause a civil war.

"That's your problem, not my problem, since they are all soldiers and horses registered in the Ministry of War, then they should be paid, how to raise salaries is a problem to be considered by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households, I only care about my Chu army." Wang Kefan was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "But since I got 150,000 silver, I also owe you a favor." Well, I'll give you an idea. ”

"Tell me about it." Huang Jin is very strange. The emptiness of the treasury is an old tradition of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, because it is not insufficient, arrears are commonplace, what can Wang Kefan do.

"No matter which family of soldiers and horses it is, whoever wants to ask for military salaries, they can agree to him, but there must be a condition, let them go to fight with the Tartars first." Wang Kefan's body suddenly flashed with a murderous aura, as if he had returned to the bloody battlefield: "As long as you can kill the Tartars, you are qualified to lead the army's salary, if any of the soldiers and horses fight a really beautiful battle, our Chu army would rather be at the back and let them receive the silver first!" ”

……

That night, the PTZ summoned again.

Since Wang Kefan returned to Guilin this time, Emperor Longwu did not give him a seat for the first time, and Wang Kefan did not order him to be flat after saluting.

"I heard that you robbed four libraries in a row, right?" Emperor Longwu's voice was cold, neither happy nor angry.

"It's not good to rob, it's a blind robbery! I robbed 150,000 pieces of silver. Wang Kefan stood up by himself, grinning.

"Presumptuous! It's so presumptuous! As soon as Emperor Longwu slapped the table, he reprimanded sharply, and he didn't know whether to blame Wang Kefan for robbing the treasury silver, or to blame him for getting up by himself, and being rude in front of the king.

"The emperor is deceived when he says this, you have already made it clear that you are stealing or robbing, as long as you get the silver, it is my ability, why do you blame Weichen now." Wang Kefan has a heartfelt voice.

"I, I...... I said this at the beginning, but I didn't expect it to be so big! If you endure a little and think of some other ways, you will definitely be able to get some silver, so wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to rob the four warehouses in a row with open fire?! ”

"It was originally our salary, why should we let those corrupt officials drink the blood of soldiers? Besides, the minister was in a hurry to rush back to Jiangxi to prepare for the war, so he had to cut through the chaos quickly. ”

"Hmph, after this incident, you have become prestigious, but the face of the court is gone, and those officials are arguing, how do you let me deal with it? I know, you were forced to make this decision, but since you did it, a punishment is inevitable, you know? Emperor Longwu said majestically.

"What sanction?" Wang Kefan is very vigilant, he doesn't care about official titles, but he cares about power, if Emperor Longwu's punishment is too heavy, he will definitely not accept it.

"Fines for half a year, as well as Fan Wenqin and Liu Shu, anyone involved in this matter will be fined for half a year." Emperor Longwu's board was raised high and gently lowered.

"If the ministers make such a big mistake, they should be punished heavily, it is better to be fined for a year." Wang Kefan relaxed for a while and joked.

"Hmph, you have to be cheap and good, you have the sin of raiding your house this time, next time you dare to do this, you will be punished for bankruptcy!" Emperor Longwu finally gave the seat and said to Wang Kefan: "I originally wanted to get rid of your prince, but I have not been rewarded yet, and outsiders will not know, so it is better to punish you for half a year." Also, since you have entered the national government, the Lingtang should also be commended, so you will be rewarded with a good life. ”

To reward his mother, Wang Kefan must be grateful, kneel down again, and said half-jokingly after standing up: "Humble Jing is famous, three from four virtues, husband and son, outstanding conduct, Weichen thinks it should be commended together." ”

"Okay, okay, it's all up to you. I've never seen you do this, and you begged for a reward for your own wife, hehe, are you afraid of guilt? Is Fu Shihua a Hedong lion? ”

"The saint and the queen have a deep relationship, and Weichen has always aspired to follow suit, so why not be afraid of the inside." Wang Kefan's words were faintly bone-lining.

Emperor Longwu and Empress Zeng are typical couples in distress, with deep feelings, not only were they not angry when they heard Wang Kefan say this, but they were also very proud: "The queen's mother is the world, and I also have great respect for her, you know that you yearn to emulate, but you also have some knowledge, well, how old is your son, should he be enlightened?" ”

Emperors like Wanli, Tianqi and Chongzhen have been educated in various imperial etiquette since they were young, and they have a strict code of conduct no matter what they do. Emperor Longwu's experience was extremely bumpy, he did not receive a standardized royal education since he was a child, his behavior was more civilian, and he was extremely affectionate with Empress Zeng, so he was often criticized and provoked by civil ministers. ”

Carefully inquired about Wang Kefan's family situation, Emperor Longwu suddenly said: "The prince is also going to be enlightened this year, and he just lacks a companion to read, if you want, why don't you send Lingtang's wife back to Guilin, and let Wang Siping enter the East Palace to accompany him, what does Yuntai think?" ”

Emperor Longwu did this, which was a great favor to Wang Kefan.

The average life expectancy of Emperor Daming is not long, Emperor Longwu Zhu Yujian is 48 years old this year, and he suffered when he was young, and now he looks at his body is okay, and he can't say for sure in a few years, let Wang Kefan's son Wang Siping be the prince's companion, and he can ensure the glory and wealth of the Wang family.

Of course, summoning Wang Kefan's family members to Guilin must have some other meanings, not to mention being hostages, but it is somewhat more reassuring.

It is impossible to refuse this kind of thing, Wang Kefan thanked him again.

"You make trouble this time, the Ministry of Industry has an excuse, I'm afraid that the matter of casting cannons will be delayed, but the battle ahead is important, I tried to get together two hundred Furlong cannons, you go back this time and take them with you." Emperor Longwu waved his hand to stop Wang Kefan, who was grateful again, and said: "These things are easy to say, the new policy is the top priority, the imperial court has no money and food, and of course there is no military salary and artillery...... You say, what should Lu Daqi do? ”

……

Write it right away, revise it right away, and read it in an hour.
