Chapter 168: Silver Is Such a Good Thing

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Zhang Zhijie to come back to his senses, looking at Gao Yong who was in a cold sweat next to him, and couldn't help laughing: "Go, enter the palace!" ”

Zhang Zhijie walked in the palace, a little eunuch hurriedly walked to this side, saw Zhang Zhijie, his eyes lit up, trotted all the way over, and said excitedly: "Hey, the little marquis, you are not in a hurry, the emperor has urged several times!" ”

Zhang Zhijie smiled and quickened his pace, the little eunuch followed closely behind, and when he arrived outside the Qianqing Palace, he saw three scholars kneeling outside the hall!

Zhang Zhijie approached and saw Yang Tinghe kneeling there, after all, he had been his own teacher! Zhang Zhijie walked over and whispered, "Bachelor, what's wrong?" ”

The three scholars already knew that the emperor had gone to summon Zhang Zhijie, they had a dispute with Liu Jin, and the emperor had a difficult choice, so in desperation, he summoned Zhang Zhijie into the palace!

Today's matter is almost decided by Zhang Zhijie! The three scholars and Liu Jin were in a dispute, the emperor was in a dilemma, who Zhang Zhijie preferred, the emperor would definitely agree to whichever side!

Yang Tinghe hurriedly said: "Zhijie, the first emperor is a big trip, the emperor ascends the throne, the treasury has spent a lot, and it is already stretched!" Now it is the spring ploughing season, a year's plan, and we have to guard against summer floods, and there are only 400,000 miles of silver in the treasury! It's not enough, and the household is very reluctant to break one into two flowers! Zhijie, the emperor trusts you, you have to persuade the emperor! ”

Li Dongyang said in a deep voice: "Admiral Zhang, it is about the livelihood of hundreds of millions of Li people!" Please also ask Admiral Zhang to persuade the emperor! ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, the three scholars don't have to worry, the lower officials will go to meet first!" ”

Zhang Zhijie gave a salute and walked quickly to the Qianqing Palace, Li Dongyang saw that Zhang Zhijie did not give a word, and couldn't help but wonder, what did Zhang Zhijie mean by this?

Remembering that Yang Tinghe had taught Zhang Zhijie, he wanted to ask when he turned his head sideways, but when he saw Jiao Fang kneeling on the other side, Li Dongyang's face was gloomy and he didn't speak!

Li Dongyang has always suspected that Jiao Fang fell to Liu Jin, and how much silver is still in the household department is not something that ordinary people can know! And Jiao Fang can enter the cabinet is very strange, after this incident, Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe have already been very wary of him!

Alas, what an eventful time! Originally, Liu Jin was deeply trusted by the emperor, so it was very difficult! In the past, he could still bully Liu Jin for not having much knowledge, and he could fool the past in some things, but now if Jiao Fang, the old fox, falls to the other party, then Liu Jin is really like a tiger!

Liu Jin was guarding the door of the main hall, and when he saw Zhang Zhijie coming, his face was smiling like a chrysanthemum, and he squinted and said: "Little Marquis, you said that the emperor wants to build a leopard house, don't our slaves follow the emperor up?" It's not that this household is out of money, and it has to be pushed! Little Hou Ye, tell me, is this like a word? ”

Zhang Zhijie smiled and didn't speak, Liu Jin's face changed slightly, and then said with a smile: "Little Marquis, these civil officials just have a lot of flowers, and they have to have some reasons to have money, and they don't want to get it from themselves!" Little Marquis, don't be fooled by them, we all followed the emperor when the emperor lived in the East Palace, but you have to have a heart, little Marquis, what do you say? ”

Liu Jin had spoken to Zhang Zhijie in this tone before, looking at the hypocrisy and toughness in Liu Jin's chrysanthemum smile, Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but sigh, Liu Jin has completely changed, and power can really easily change a person!

Zhang Zhijie already had a premonition that he would have to have a conflict with Liu Jin in the future. Because the desire for power of people like Liu Jin cannot be satisfied, it will definitely become more and more inflated!

Zhang Zhijie laughed and said: "What Gonggong Liu said also makes sense!" Liu Jin didn't hear the expected answer, he was stunned, and looked at Zhang Zhijie looking directly at him, only then did he react, Zhang Zhijie is also the emperor's favorite minister, and there is no need to flatter himself!

Since the emperor ascended the throne, Zhang Zhijie has been acting in a low-key manner, making Liu Jin almost forget that the person in front of him has a lot of weight in the emperor's heart!

Zhang Zhijie staggered past and entered the main hall, Liu Jin looked at the back of Zhang Zhijie entering, and couldn't help sighing, when the emperor only trusts himself, don't worry about threats around him, alas, it's really a long way to go!

Emperor Zhengde was lying there bored, and the strange thing was that there was not a single eunuch in the hall, only Emperor Zhengde himself!

Zhang Zhijie made a slow gesture to salute, and Emperor Zhengde raised a hand when he saw this, and waved weakly: "Excuse me!" Why are you here? ”

Zhang Zhijie said vaguely: "The minister has something to do, and it's delayed!" ”

Emperor Zhengde was surprised: "What's the matter? Tell me about it! ”

Zhang Zhijie was stunned when he heard this, looked at him left and right, and said with a smile: "It's nothing!" The emperor summoned his ministers, but is there anything wrong? ”

Zhang Zhijie's divergence aroused the curiosity of Emperor Zhengde, and he hurriedly said: "You talk about your business first!" ”

Zhang Zhijie was helpless, so he had to reply: "Didn't there be a rumor last year, and he forced the minister out of the capital!" The rumors involved the surviving Shen family, and she was completely implicated by me, so I was very sorry not to go, and I went to apologize today! ”

It turned out to be this, Emperor Zhengde remembered it, when he heard this romantic affair and scratched his ears and cheeks, he specially found Zhang Zhijie and asked!

Emperor Zhengde rolled his eyes and asked, "This Shen family, isn't it very beautiful?" ”

Zhang Zhijie's face turned red when he heard this, and he said helplessly: "Cough, yes, but we are innocent!" ”

Emperor Zhengde suddenly realized, and said in a long voice: "We? Oh~~ I understand! ”

Zhang Zhijie was very speechless, but looking at the gossip of Emperor Zhengde, he knew that the more he depicted it, the darker it became, so he could only reluctantly acquiesce!

"Ahem, Your Majesty, business, business!" Zhang Zhijie can only be embarrassed to remind!

Emperor Zhengde sighed and said, "It's not a matter of silver!" I told you that I wanted to build a courtyard and raise some beasts in it! I've got a good name, it's called the leopard room, what do you think? ”

Zhang Zhi nodded and said, "Not bad, good name!" Although Zhang Zhijie doesn't know what's good about this name!

Emperor Zhengde sighed: "You also know that last year there was a lot of money, and the inner library was already empty!" But the household department also said that there was no silver! Liu Jin said that there was still silver in the treasury, and the scholars said that the silver was urgently needed, but it was not enough! ”

Emperor Zhengde sighed: "I really want to build a leopard house, but the scholars are kneeling outside the hall, and I am afraid that this silver is really urgently needed and delays state affairs!" But Liu Jin said that it was not in the way! Zhijie, what do you say I should do? ”

Zhang Zhijie already knew, and when he heard what the emperor said at this time, he immediately understood!

Zhang Zhijie smiled and said, "Your Majesty, isn't it just hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?" ”
