Wang Xijue was purely forced to be helpless, his family lived in Taicang Prefecture, the richest place in Suzhou at that time.

After the end of the Xu family, Zheng Ying and Xie He's next target was the Wang family of the Wang family, Wang Xijue was sent back to his hometown by Empress Dowager Li because of the previous Zhu Yijun's preparation for a mutiny, and he was living in his hometown at that time.

Thanks to him, after knowing the fate of the Xu family, he knew that Xiao Ruxun was really here, he would really kill people, and he didn't spare his hand, and the whole of Suzhou had been agitated by a considerable number of peasants, and the riot was very violent.

After thinking about it again and again, he personally made the decision, overrode public opinion, and negotiated peace with Zheng Ying and Xie He, and the result of the peace talks was that Wang Xijue's family was split into three branches, Wang Xijue's younger brother's family was moved to Wuchang, Wang Xijue's family needed to migrate to Beijing, and the rest of the clan was moved to Guangdong.

All the land was divided and distributed to the tenants, who regained their freedom, lowered their taxes, paid taxes to the state, and distributed the land that should be supplied to the three branches of the royal family after they arrived at their migration destinations.

In fact, Zheng Ying and Xie He really wanted to destroy them, but firstly, Wang Xijue really took the initiative and retreated step by step, they were really embarrassed to start, and secondly, Wang Xijue's younger brother had a good reputation in the local area, and their family was very good at building momentum, Zheng Ying and Xie He needed to think carefully and did not make a dead move.

At that time, Li Tingji was about to be sent to Beijing, so he sent Wang Xijue's family with him, but the Lugouqiao Mutiny occurred the day after they arrived at the Lugouqiao camp, and Xiao Ruxun was dressed in a yellow robe.

Except for Ye Xianggao's early expectation, Li Tingji and Wang Xijue didn't know about it, but after witnessing the drastic changes in their hometown, Li Tingji and Wang Xijue, who were survivors, both faintly noticed that Xiao Ruxun's purpose was not ordinary, but they witnessed the situation where 200,000 people shouted in unison, and they were really shocked.

Then they also realized that they were on the thief ship.

Xiao Ruxun needs someone to support the façade of the central government for him, they have no way out, they are in the camp, either die or follow Xiao Ruxun as a second minister.

Wang Xijue didn't plan to resist, he planned to accept it, he was old, he couldn't stand the toss, and he didn't dare to toss, not to mention that the whole family was in the hands of Xiao Ruxun, and he had no capital to refuse.

After Li Tingji heard Wang Xijue say the reason why he didn't plan to toss, he thought about it again and again, and his thoughts seemed to be shaken.

Then on the night when Xiao Ruxun led the army to conquer Beijing, Wang Xijue and Li Tingji were sent to the cabinet to sort out the cabinet documents for Xiao Ruxun.

Xiao Ruxun also gave a team of 50 clerks very intimately and handed them to Wang Xijue and Li Tingji, saying that they would be sent to do things.

The two did not object, and began to work silently.

Under such an arrangement, Xiao Ruxun can of course rest assured to gather the civil and military officials in the capital to gather in the Imperial Palace and do what he wants, such as learning Li Zicheng's spirit and squeezing the oil and water out of these people.

Of course, he can't be as ugly as Li Zicheng.

He wanted to think of a fresh and refined reason, for example, when the new dynasty was first built, he needed funds for the renovation of the Beijing Division, such as too many troops, the military expenses for the resettlement of the army, such as too many hungry people, and the need for disaster relief.

Of course, empty promises are not allowed, and the bait used as bait must be tempting, otherwise how can these people take the bait?

So Xiao Ruxun said in the Huangji Palace that he was very short of money now, not only the cost of renovating the palace and the capital division of the new dynasty, but also the military expenses needed by the army, and the lack of disaster relief funds for the treatment of the hungry.

When this kind of thing was said, the eyes of the civil and military were not quite right, but what Xiao Ruxun said next made them restless.

"Not only that, even the official salaries issued to officials are a little scarce, if you can support one or two, Xiao is not a stingy official, you are all handsome at the moment, Xiao will appoint only one person."

Xiao Ruxun wants to auction official positions?

Sure enough, he is a military general with no long-term vision, so he still wants to appoint us!

That's right! That's right! Let's do things together, and make money in harmony!

Money? Mere trifle!

"The minister is willing to donate 30,000 silver to renovate the palace for His Majesty!"

The first one to stand up was indeed Zhao Shiqing, as soon as he saw that Xiao Ruxun did not plan to pursue the previous matter, Zhao Shiqing was very relieved, and then saw that Xiao Ruxun needed the help of the courtiers because of lack of money.

Zhao Shiqing did not hesitate.

Anyway, 30,000 taels is nothing.

Xiao Ruxun was very happy, nodded and smiled: "Zhao Butang is really the pillar of the country, and the country needs a pillar like Zhao Butang to govern!" ”

When the other courtiers saw that Zhao Shiqing had been praised and became the first person to eat crabs, they were immediately red-eyed, and they opened their mouths one after another, 35,000, 217,800, and they had to donate, and the donation amount in just a quarter of an hour chased 1 million.

And that's when the big deal came in.

"Minister Zhu Yinghuai is willing to donate 200,000 taels of silver for His Majesty's use of helping the army!"

That's a lot of money!

All of a sudden, the hall of civil and military officials was frightened, and it was 200,000 yuan as soon as he made a move, which was unruly! Who is this?

"Zhu Yinghuai? You are? ”

Xiao Ruxun found that she didn't know this person.

"The minister is the brother of the late Chengguo Gong."

Oh, I understand, the Chengguo family, who survived under Shen's butcher's knife, had no one to talk to before, and this time when Xiao Ruxun sent someone to summon Xungui, the Chengguo family didn't plan to sit still, so the prince pushed the younger brother of the previous generation of Chengguo Gong to participate.

The rest of the civil officials also knew that this was Wu Xun's shot.

What these guys are best at is making money, and they also have a home advantage, the civil officials' hometown is not in Beijing, so they can't catch up with the martial artists in terms of property, and the current situation is very critical, if Xiao Ruxun looks at the money to distribute official positions, the civil officials will suffer a big loss, the ghost knows if Xiao Ruxun is willing to continue the policy of the Ming Dynasty and continue to suppress Wuxun?

Does Wu Xun want to turn over?

The civil officials immediately turned their hostile gaze on the martial artists.

But that's just the beginning.

The Marquis of Longping donated 200,000 taels of silver, the Marquis of Lingbi donated 250,000 taels of silver, Ying Chengbo donated 200,000 taels of silver, Xinchengbo donated 300,000 taels of silver, An Xiangbo donated 150,000 taels of silver, and Sui Anbo donated 200,000 taels of silver......

One can donate more than the other, and one is more generous than the other, anyway, these surviving nobles have completely suppressed the civil officials, and the civil officials are so angry that they blow their beards and stare at them.

Dare to do anything wrong with the home advantage, right?

Do you still want to be ashamed?

So many civil officials also broke out, and they agreed to borrow some money or something, and 100,100,120,000 also came out, anyway, although they don't have such a thick family foundation, they can't lose too ugly, otherwise everyone's status after the new dynasty is set is not as good as these stinky hills, so what?

What about the face of the scholar?

Seeing that the civil officials began to exert their strength, the martial artists were not far behind, the marquis and earls were full of firepower, vowing to let the civil officials see how strong their professional accumulation of two hundred years of professional money is, and the civil officials are not far behind, to let this group of local snakes know that the strong dragon is a dragon, not a snake can be compared.

They still have a vast place to support, while the warriors only have the land of Gyeonggi, and the balance of strength between the two sides is not balanced.

A war without gunpowder is kicking off in the Imperial Palace.
