"Matter, I think you all know, the thief Liu Zheng has already occupied most of Shandong, you take a charter out and see who to send to suppress!"

Emperor Wanli was simple enough, but the courtiers began to sweat secretly, and those who didn't know the situation felt a little incredible, how could this Liu Zheng be so capable and directly occupy half of the eastern part of Lashan, could this person be a demon?

I already know the situation, but I am thinking about how to deal with the past, after all, the unrestricted war is tight at this time, and the Mongolian side is still bouncing, if the war starts in the country at this time, then everyone will not pass, the treasury has already run out of mice, after all, it is still Wanli's own pocket to fight North Korea.

After a short period of surprise, those who didn't know the situation quickly thought about the issue of silver, so they focused their eyes on the three elders, regardless of what they knew before their heads or what they knew.

When Zhao Zhigao, the first assistant of the court, immediately rushed to the pressure, he knew that he had to stand up and speak at this time, there could have been someone in the way, but the military department Shangshu Xing Jue, who could block for him, was in Liaodong at this time!

"Your Majesty, the old minister has a book to play!"

Emperor Wanli didn't speak, he looked at Zhao Zhigao with his eyes, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear, you better say that I like to listen, otherwise you know the consequences!

Zhao Zhigao also replied to Emperor Wanli with his eyes, the boss, the little one understands what he can say and what he can't say.

So the emperor was relieved, nodded and said, "Say it!" ”

Zhao Zhigao cleared his throat and began to play: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, Tang Liyan, the governor of Jiangxi, said that many river embankments in Jiangxi have been in distress since the rainy season, and asked the household department to allocate funds to repair the river embankments. ”

After Zhao Zhigao said this, these courtiers in the hall, even if they were his old opponent Zhang Wei, couldn't help but give a thumbs up in their hearts, Nima, amazing, worthy of being a pavilion elder with mud, looking at him left and right, he can still point to the crux of the matter.

The courtiers gave a thumbs up, but Emperor Wanli was unhappy, with his political wisdom, how could he not hear what this old bastard meant, didn't he mean that he had no money.

Sure enough, at this time, the third assistant Shen, who was also the secretary of the household department, immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, the household department has no extra silver taels for support, last year, the Taicang silver two only more than four million taels, this summer tax has not been released, and the ministries have drawn up the summer tax into the silver two, now Taicang silver has a deficit of nearly three million taels, the minister is really powerless, please beg the bones!" ”

Emperor Wanli was so angry, he really wanted Shen Cheng to get out of his hands quickly, he pressed the evil qi in his chest fiercely, and thought about Shen Cheng Cheng's goodness, so he eliminated the idea of letting Shen Cheng get out.

"I'm not allowed, but I want to make it clear to you, this Liu Zheng must be suppressed, even if he uses my internal money, he will be beaten! You don't have to worry about the money, I just need you to arrange for the manpower! ”

As soon as Emperor Wanli said that, everyone was obviously relieved, but it was only a sigh of relief, after all, the emperor still had to fight, but now the war is tight, not only using troops against North Korea, but also fighting with the Mongols in Liaodong, so that there is a Li Rusong in charge of the Mongols, which can make a lot of peace of mind, but this is really not able to draw people to fight Liu Zheng, after all, there is still a Li Mingyi in Taiyuan Mansion who has not been exterminated, and if you want to exterminate it, you will first suppress Li Mingyi, Li Mingyi has 70,000 or 80,000 people in his hands.

Now that Xing Jue, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is not there, the emperor wants to send people, and if everyone wants to stop it, they have to look at the three elders, so everyone once again set their eyes on the three big guys.

The three elders immediately felt that there was an invisible pressure pressing from behind, and this pressure made the three elders a little breathless.

While Zhao Zhigao and Shen always felt this pressure, they immediately looked at the second assistant Zhang Wei, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear, the two of us have stood up and spoke, and now it's your turn.

Zhang Wei began to scold his mother in his heart, but he couldn't help it, although he didn't deal with these two people, but on this matter, he had to agree on it, after all, Liu Zheng is not an ordinary thief, he has another identity, he only learned about this secret last night, fortunately he has someone around the emperor, otherwise he is still in the dark.

Zhang Wei pondered it in his heart before he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Zheng must be suppressed!" "Set the tone for your words first, make a good impression on the emperor, and then make a twist.

"But, Your Majesty, now is not the time, North Korea and Mongolia have already involved all the energy of the imperial court, and now we rush to send troops, it is not the best policy, we should first send someone to drag Liu Zheng to the North Korea to assess the matter, and then eradicate it in one fell swoop!"

The emperor of Wanli is a little better, but it is only a little better, after all, this old bastard generally means not to fight.

Zhang Wei secretly glanced at Emperor Wanli a few times, and after weighing it in his heart, he spoke again: "Your Majesty, now our first Qincha is still in Qingzhou, and they haven't sent back the specific news, what is Liu Zheng's strength, we can't make comments in vain, rashly attack, send fewer soldiers, it will only fuel Liu Zheng's arrogance, but there are too many people sent, and the treasury is empty, and now our treasury is very empty!"

"Your Majesty, isn't our second Qincha set for the 10th of this month? Seeing that the days are numbered, why don't we add an envoy to this Lu Qincha and let them be envoys, one is to see if Liu Zheng can be recruited, the second is to touch Liu Zheng's foundation, and the third is to delay Liu Zheng's outward expansion, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds! ”

Zhang Wei didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Wanli's face suddenly became gloomy, which scared Zhang Wei, and he didn't know what he said wrong, which made this master unhappy.

"Emissary? Hmph, is he Liu Zheng worthy? Could it be that Shandong is no longer my Ming Dynasty? ”

Emperor Wanli looked at Zhang Wei with a gloomy face, the sweat on Zhang Wei's forehead came out at once, and he hurriedly remedied: "Your Majesty's old minister means ......"

"Alright, I know what you mean! You don't have to explain it to me anymore! Emperor Wanli interrupted Zhang Wei's words with a wave of his hand, and then glanced at the ministers standing below with his eyes, these people except for a few people the emperor knew, the others were very strange, very strange, after all, he had not been in court for several years.

"I know your thoughts, I know what you think in your hearts, but I want to tell you that my Ming Dynasty is not so poor that I can't afford to kill a thief, and I haven't fallen into the trap of having no soldiers and no generals!"

"The Cabinet and the Ministry of War will come up with a charter as soon as possible and submit it! Retreat! ”

Emperor Wanli didn't give the ministers a chance to reflect at all, and as soon as he finished speaking, he got up from the dragon chair and walked back by himself.

As soon as Tian Yi saw that the emperor was gone, he immediately raised his throat and said, "Your Majesty has a word, retreat from the court!! The big guys are all gone! Tian Yi shook off Buddha Chen and followed the emperor, serving the emperor is important.

The ministers glared, what is going on with this Nima, for several years, it has been difficult to catch the days when the emperor went to court, and he retired from the court without saying a few words?

While everyone stared at each other, they also put some of their eyes on the elders, after all, they were the backbone of everyone.

But at this time, how can the three pavilion elders have the kung fu to take care of them, Zhao Zhigao arched his hand at Zhang Weiyi and said: "Brother Ming Cheng, can you be free for a while?" Recently, a very novel restaurant was opened in Beijing, what is it called a five-star restaurant, I heard that their food is very good, why don't we try it first? ”

Zhang Wei scolded his mother in his heart, Nima, you old thing, would you not know that the restaurant was opened by my uncompetitive son in partnership with someone from Qingzhou? What do you mean by saying this in the presence of these ministers? Plug my mouth, or block my back road?

Zhang Wei smiled and arched his hand and said: "Master Shoufu is invited, how dare Ming Cheng not go, Brother Ziwei has something important, if not, why not go together?" ”

One of you invited me to drink with you, do I dare not go? Shen Yi also smiled and arched his hand: "The two elders invited, how dare Ziwei not go?" ”

In the puzzled eyes of the ministers, the three of them said that this Fengyue withdrew from the Taihe Palace, and then talked all the way out of the palace.

……

Zhang Wei has two sons, one son is called Zhang Mou, the other is called Zhang Zheng, the eldest son is not well educated, and he is in his forties and eats, drinks and has fun with a gang of gangsters all day long, and the younger son is even worse, and is known as the five poisonous sons in Beijing.

A few days ago, this little son suddenly converged a lot, and actually knew that he was strong, and he partnered with others to do business, this business is really good, I don't know where to get a batch of fine salt, a pound of fine salt purchase price is only one or two silver, this fucking and pick up is not much different, sell at least eight taels of silver, less than a month of effort, on the earning of tens of thousands of taels of silver, this kid and this silver with someone to open a restaurant, Zhang Wei also went a few times, although the name is not good, but the decoration is really good, Although it is not a place that literati like to visit, wealthy merchants like to come to this restaurant, and the business is prosperous.

But I didn't expect it, damn ......

After talking too much, it was all tears, Zhang Wei sat in a sedan chair and silently followed behind Zhao Zhigao's sedan chair, all the way to the five-star restaurant.

At this time, Zhang Zheng happened to be there, and he was calculating the surplus of the previous month with the accounting room, when he suddenly heard someone report that his father was coming, Zhang Zheng hurriedly ran from the backyard to the lobby of the restaurant.

"Dad, why are you here? Don't let me say a word, I'll prepare for you, we have a batch of Yangzhou ...... here recently."

"Bastard thing!"

Before Zhang Wei finished speaking, he was scolded by his father, what is the situation, Lao Tzu has been very restrained recently, okay, Lao Tzu has been very energetic recently, okay, what kind of fire are you making.

Zhang Weizheng complained in his heart, so he heard his father say: "I haven't seen the first assistant and the third assistant, blind dogs!" ”

Zhang Zheng's forehead was sweating all of a sudden, and Nima patronized to see his father, but he didn't notice that Lord Shoufu and Lord Sanfu were on the side!

Hurriedly bowed down and said, "Student Zhang Zheng, I have seen the two first assistant bosses, and I have seen the third assistant boss!" The student was confused for a while, and he didn't see the two bosses, which was really a sin, and the students didn't compensate the two bosses here! ”

Zhao Zhigao laughed and said: "It's okay, nephew, I heard that you have a few new cooks here, and their skills are better than those of the imperial chefs in the palace. ”

Don't look at the usual bragging, saying that what is stronger than the palace, but when it comes to a certain position, or at a certain time, these words can kill you.

So as soon as Zhao Zhigao's words were finished, Zhang Wei hurriedly said: "Master Shoufu, there is nothing to do, there is nothing to do, don't listen to the nonsense of outsiders, they can compare with the imperial kitchen, they are all some who can't be on the table, let's not talk about this, don't talk about this, the boss upstairs please, upstairs please!" ”

Zhang Zheng was not happy when he heard this, and just wanted to say that his chef here was really much better than those in the palace, but before the words reached his throat, he was glared back by his father fiercely.

"Bastard, why don't you go and get the upper room ready for the boss!" (To be continued.) )
