When Jiang Bin heard this, his heart suddenly stirred. Dark way, okay! Qin Li, this cub is ruthless and shrewd enough! Looks like I really underestimated this cub before.

He knew that Qin Li's status in the emperor's heart, especially Qin Li's favor in Liu Niangniang, was much higher than himself. Yes, Jiang Bin's face did not change in the slightest when he heard this.

Jiang Bin has almost become the shadow of Zhengde in the past few years, and Zhengde takes him with him wherever he goes. Jiang Bin knew that Zhengde usually likes money very much, and he is also very critical of others, because only with money can he have fun. But when Qin Li asked him for money, he couldn't guess what Zhengde was thinking.

Secretly observing Zhengde's face, I saw that Zhengde's brows were slightly wrinkled, although his face was very peaceful, but there was clearly a faint disappointment.

After taking Zhengde's pulse, Jiang Bin immediately sank his face and scolded in a low voice, "Hmph! Qin Li's cub is really unbelievably thick, this spring crossbow is indeed good, but you can't use this bamboo pole to knock your godfather, right?

Godfather, according to the minister's opinion, this Qin Li is clearly contemptuous of the emperor, and there is no monarch! Godfather, we must not give him this money. If you give him 100,000 taels today, what will he do if he invents a novelty and asks for 200,000 taels in a few days?

Godfather, at that time, I'm afraid that Godfather will give him all the money in Daming, and it will not be enough! I can't satisfy this cub's appetite! ”

Jiang Bin stole a glance at Zhengde as he spoke. Seeing that Zhengde's face was becoming more and more gloomy, Jiang Bin was even more angry.

In fact, at this time, his heart was full of joy, and he said, hehe! Qin Li's cub finally let me Jiang Bin grab the fox's tail and grab his little braid, why can't I take the opportunity to eradicate this cub?

As soon as he thought like this, Jiang Bin continued, "Godfather, according to the minister's opinion, not only can this money not be given to him, but he must be punished for his crimes!" Just put him in prison for contempt for the king, extort him, or even have his head cut off! ”

When Jiang Bin said this, Zhengde suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, squinted at Jiang Bin, and said softly, "Actually, I also thought that Qin Li was taking the opportunity to knock on my bamboo pole, but Qin Li said in this letter that he wanted money to repair the county school and cultivate talents for my Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Godfather, then Qin Li hasn't read at all, how can he be a good teacher of the county school? Manage the county school well? Xiao Chen saw that he obviously wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune! Jiang Bin immediately responded.

He is obviously living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Jiang Bin said this slander, originally thought that Zhengde would be furious and would follow his advice, not only not to give Qin Li money, but also to treat Qin Li's crimes. Because in the past, there were provincial or sixth ministry officials who asked Zhengde for money, and Zhengde scolded them and drove them away.

But what Jiang Bin never expected was that Emperor Zhengde snorted coldly, his face sank like water, and said, "In this way, it was Qin Li who was wrong, and Qin Li didn't have that ability?" ”

"Ah...... Godfather...... No, Xiao Chen just said...... "It was only at this time that Jiang Bin remembered that Zhengde had given Qin Li an identity. What Zhengde is most annoyed by is that people say that he is not clear about right and wrong, and he has no ability to recognize people.

Before Jiang Bin's words were stumbling and finished, Zhengde interrupted him and said, "Okay! I have thought about it, I will give him the money that Qin Li wants, he is a person given by me, and he will definitely not disappoint me! ”

"Yes!" Jiang Bin only promised.

He wanted to smack himself in the mouth right now. had already baked Zhengde's fire, which made Zhengde disgusted Qin Li. But in the end, he said that Qin Li was not good at the teachings of the county school. Isn't this a slap in the face?

Qin Li's promotion was given by Zhengde, and Qin Li's county school teaching was agreed by Zhengde. The county school was supposed to be an eighth-grade official, but Zhengde added a first-level seal to him and became a seventh-grade official, which made him indecent.

Jiang Bin made a grimace, holding the spring crossbow diagram drawn by Qin Li, and was about to walk out. Zhengde stopped him again, and said in a deep voice, "Jiang Bin, I don't have so much silver now. You are now in charge of the Outer Fourth Army, and you are also in charge of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. You'll pay for me! ”

"What?" Jiang Bin immediately froze, standing here stunned and not moving.

What's going on? I, Jiang Bin, can't take the opportunity to clean up Qin Li, just forget it, and let me give Qin Li the 100,000 taels of silver, what has become of me Jiang Bin? Isn't that an authentic second goods?

How could Jiang Bin suffer such a dumb loss? He thought about it for a while, and hurriedly said with a sad face, "Godfather may not know the current difficulties of Xiaochen, the power in Xiaochen's hands is indeed not small, but Godfather must also know whether it is the Outer Fourth Army, Jinyiwei, or Dongchang." How many people are that? How many mouths are waiting for dinner, and the minister won't pay for it, where does the minister have money? The ministers are now overstretched, and they have eaten the last meal without the next meal.

If the godfather really wants the minister to take the 100,000 taels of silver, the godfather might as well slaughter the minister with a knife. ”

Although Zhengde likes to have fun and does not do political affairs, he is very clear about Jiang Bin. He knew that Jiang Bin had a lot of money in his hand, and when he heard Jiang Bin crying poor like this, he almost laughed angrily.

However, looking at the pitiful appearance that Jiang Bin pretended, Zhengde still smiled slightly and said, "Forget it, I just tease you." I won't let you out this money, but why do you have to think of a way for me to get the 100,000 taels of silver, right? ”

Hearing Zhengde say this, Jiang Bin felt a little relieved.

Jiang Bin frowned and pondered for a long time, then his eyes lit up and said, "Godfather, the minister feels that this silver can only be withdrawn from the treasury. ”

Jiang Bin, as an important minister of the imperial court, naturally knew the situation in the treasury of the Ming Dynasty at this time. Speaking of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that the treasury has never been abundant, and it has always been poor. The current treasury can't even take out half a tael of silver, and the household department is worried about hanging.

For the sake of money, several ministers in the cabinet have also been worried.

Zhengde likes to have fun, and it costs a lot of money, most of which comes from the inner treasury. The money in the inner treasury is said to have been saved by Emperor Zhengde's father, Emperor Hongzhi.

Lao Tzu earns money, his son squanders, throughout the ages, such things are not uncommon.

Zhengde listened to Jiang Bin's suggestion, and his eyes lit up. Zhengde also knew the reality in the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't like to see the ministers in the cabinet. Especially Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, always tries in every possible way to restrict Zhengde's freedom, let Zhengde follow the rules and be an honest emperor, and Zhengde has no good impression of him. It is really a good way to push the 100,000 taels of silver to them, and let them think of a way to take advantage of the opportunity to embarrass them.

Zhengde patted the book case and said, "Okay! It's up to you, you immediately send the decree for me, send the horse to the capital quickly, and let the cabinet make up the 100,000 taels of silver. ”

Jiang Bin's heart was full of joy, and he thought to himself that this trick was still very beautiful to play. Secretly said, Qin Li! If you want to get the silver, wait, if the old men in the cabinet can give you a silver tael, it will be like the rooster laying eggs and the hen crowing.
