Chapter 59: A Huge Debt of 500,000 Dollars

Liu Daxia was very angry, so angry that the eunuchs who led him in trembled, and it was not until he went out that he found that he was already soaked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Wechen see Your Majesty."

Zheng De looked up at Liu Daxia when he heard this, and he was also taken aback. What's wrong with this, why is he a little bit of a fight with Bao Gong with a black face.

"Aiqing, what's wrong with you, your face is so ugly?"

Zheng De didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as he said it, Liu Daxia's face became more and more gloomy. said with a dissatisfied face, "Your Majesty, Cao Xiongguan has been reinstated, why didn't Weichen know about it from beginning to end?" ”

Liu Daxia has just arrived at the military department today, and his ass is not yet hot. I saw Cao Xiong, who had already been imprisoned, walking in, saying that the emperor had reinstated his official and had come to the military department to report on his work, so he could rush back to Guyuan to take office.

The emperor didn't even talk to him about this matter, which really didn't take him as the secretary of the military department in his eyes.

If this example is opened, everyone will go to the emperor to go to the back door like this in the future, what is the majesty of his own military department? Isn't it like a puppet?

It's no wonder that Liu Daxia is so angry.

So that's what happened!

Zheng De patted his head, and also reacted, looking at Liu Daxia, "Didn't Aiqing know about this yesterday?" ”

"What does Your Majesty mean by this?" Liu Daxia was confused, what do I know about me?

Zheng Dedao, "Didn't you be present when Cao Qian stopped the driver and shouted injustice yesterday?" ”

When Liu Daxia heard this, he immediately understood the meaning of the emperor's words, and his face became deeper and deeper.

"Cao Qian stopped Weichen yesterday and was indeed present, but His Majesty did not say that he would directly release Cao Xiong and directly reinstate his officials."

Zheng De thought about it, after all, he should have informed himself, the Minister of Defense, about this, but unfortunately he forgot about it for a while.

"Then I apologize to you, I'm sorry."

Although this apology does not sound very sincere, this is the emperor's apology, and who can make the emperor apologize in person?

However, Liu Daxia did it, but obviously he did not feel much smug, but became a little panicked. The anger also melted like ice and snow, and I really didn't understand the meaning of the emperor's words, whether it was anger, ridicule, or something else.

"Your Majesty's words are serious, it is the minister who has lost his words, please forgive your Majesty."

Seeing that Liu Daxia, who was originally angry, actually bowed his head and confessed, what is the situation?

Did he say something wrong? Why don't I seem to hear it?

Zheng De is the second monk was confused, and of course he didn't know that his own apology would bring such serious pressure to others, causing Liu Daxia to lower his posture.

Never mind! I didn't understand and didn't bother to think about it, Zheng De glanced at Liu Daxia again, "Aiqing, is there anything else, if it's okay, go back." ”

"Your Majesty, is the matter of Cao Xiongguan's reinstatement a little too hasty?" Liu Daxia hesitated but still mentioned this matter.

Zheng De looked at him suspiciously, "Isn't there a handwritten letter from Yang Yiqing, the governor of Shaanxi, to prove that he was wronged, where is it hasty?" ”

Liu Daxia couldn't say anything more when he heard this, after all, Yang Yiqing was his junior brother. If you persist any longer, wouldn't you suspect that your junior brother had committed perjury?

For the sake of the majesty of the shitty military department Shangshu, he lost the love between the two, and this kind of thing would be done by a fool.

Besides, the emperor has apologized, what else can't he let go?

Thinking of this, Liu Daxia no longer dwelled on this matter, but mentioned another matter, "Today's Weichen came here to promise His Majesty three taels of silver to each of the pro-army and the Beijing army, and asked His Majesty to sign and agree." ”

It turned out that he was here to collect debts!

Zheng De's face became a little unpleasant when he heard this.

I made a promise of three silver per person on impulse, but I lay in bed last night and had nothing to do, closing my eyes. Good fellow, this sum adds up to a whopping half hundred thousand taels of silver.

Because of this, he didn't sleep well all night, and he was thinking about how to get this huge amount of money out of the iron rooster of Tobe Shangshu Hanwen.

It's a pity that until now, there is no clue.

Now when I hear Liu Daxia mention this, it's strange that he has a good face.

With a cough, Zheng Dezheng said, "Aiqing will go back first, and I will talk to Hubu Shangshu Hanwen about this matter later." ”

Looking at the emperor's strange expression, Liu Daxia secretly speculated in his heart that the emperor would not want to repay the debt!

It's no wonder that he thinks so, after all, there are more places in the world that need to spend money.

Not to mention that the mausoleum of the first emperor emptied most of the emperor's internal money, and the rest that has not yet been completed still needs to be paid by the household department.

In addition, the military salaries and the cost of repairing the Great Wall during the invasion of the Mongols in the north were not less than five or six hundred thousand. The earthquake in the south of the Yangtze River and the earthquakes in the seven counties of Jiangxi, Xia, Pinglu, Ronghe, Wenxi, Ruicheng, and Yishi, which had just received the news, all needed money from the household department.

There are also those Daming Ordnance Manufacturing Group and Daming Military Intelligence Bureau tossed out by the emperor, which cost 400,000 taels of silver.

If it weren't for the emperor who contributed his own internal funds, the household department might not be willing to pay for it.

After all, the Taicang Treasury is only 17.8 million taels of silver a year, and now it has been more than half a year, and there are so many things on the table. I've already spent a lot of money, and the rest of the silver is probably not enough for the next expenses. Now he has to ask the household to take out another 500,000 taels of silver, just for an impulsive promise. Don't say whether Han is willing or not, the other two. Even if you want to, you probably won't be able to kill Hangul!

Looking at the emperor's embarrassed expression, he secretly sighed to himself, "Hey! If you know now, why bother in the first place! ”

He didn't agree with that. But who let the emperor say it in public. After all, Chrysostom said that it is impossible to repay the debts now, otherwise how will the people of the world view today?

However, just in case, Liu Daxia still reminded, "Your Majesty, I hope you don't want to do anything that chills the soldiers." ”

Zheng De glared at Liu Daxia when he heard this, and said secretly, "Do you think that I will repay the debt?" How is it possible, am I that kind of person? ”

Zheng De is indeed not such a person, he has a thief's heart but not the courage of a thief, and he really has no face to make such a scoundrel method of repaying debts.

"You go back first, I'll figure it out." He said with some distraught.

"The minister retired."

Liu Daxia retreated very interestingly.

"Ziheng, what do you think ......?"

After seeing Liu Daxia leave, Zheng De's face instantly collapsed. When he turned around, he was about to ask Wang Tingxiang on the side for advice on how to do it, but he found that an unfamiliar figure was sitting in the original position.

Facing the emperor's gaze, Shi Xuan stood up awkwardly and arched his hand, "Your Majesty, the royal attendant is busy with things in the palace." ”

"It's fine. You keep going about your business. Zheng De waved his hand.

Thinking of the huge debt of 500,000 yuan, he was not in the mood to continue to read and practice calligraphy, so he went out directly to find Wang Tingxiang.

Looking at the back of the emperor leaving, Shi Xuan sighed quite worriedly, "It seems that the emperor is quite dependent on the royal court!" I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse, hey! ”

……

When Zheng De found Wang Tingxiang, he was in the celebrant superintendent's office.

It just so happened that Liu Jin was also here, and he spotted the emperor's figure at a glance with sharp eyes. Leaving Wang Tingxiang, who was talking, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Long live the lord, why did you come here, did you come to visit the slave maid...... Woo woo, the slave is so moved. ”

Seeing Liu Jin pulling his sleeve and crying, Zheng De was speechless, "You old guy, which film and television school did you graduate from, can you fake it a little more!" ”

Film and television school?

What is this place?

Liu Jin secretly glanced at Zheng De and found that the emperor was not really angry. hurriedly turned around and used Zheng De's wide sleeves to cover his old face and continue to cry.

Zheng De, who saw all this in his eyes, was really angry and funny. This old fellow, think I don't see anything? It's still pretending to be here, pretending to be so energetic, who is it going to show it?

People who don't know think I'm bullying the elderly!

Seeing that his sleeves were going to be used as a handkerchief by this old guy to wipe his tears, he quickly flicked his sleeves and found that he was caught by him, and he couldn't shake them off at all.

No way!

You're still on your nose and face, you old fellow.

"You old fellow, don't let it go. If you don't let go, I'll throw you in prison. Zheng De threatened viciously.

Liu Jin reluctantly loosened Zheng De's sleeve, and before letting go, he didn't forget to wipe his old tears with his sleeve, and his brows couldn't help jumping when he saw it.

"The Slave Obeys"

With an aggrieved look, Zheng Dezhen, who was watching, really wanted to punch him in the face.

You're still pretending, you're addicted to acting.

But in the end, I couldn't help but kick him, of course, with Zheng De's temperament, it is more appropriate to say that it is a kick than a touch.

Wang Tingxiang also stepped forward at this time. He naturally saw this joyful scene in his eyes, and couldn't help but show a faint smile.

Maybe only Liu Jin dares to be so intimate with the emperor like this!

"Wechen see Your Majesty."

Zheng De nodded and glanced at Liu Jin again. The latter understood that the emperor wanted to discuss something, and retreated with interest.

Before leaving, he threw down a sentence, "The slave maid has gone to do errands first, long live the lord to come and see the slave and maid often!" ”

"Damn! Who wants to see you, dead eunuch, get out of here, get me away, get out as far as you want. Hearing this, Zheng De couldn't bear it anymore and burst into a foul mouth.

You're not who I am, why don't I often go to see a eunuch when I'm fine, I'm not sick!

Looking at Liu Jin's departing back, Zheng De was depressed. But thinking of Liu Jin's funny behavior just now, he couldn't help laughing.

"Damn! This old immortal! Zheng De scolded with a smile.

Seeing a happy smile blooming on the emperor's originally gloomy face, Wang Tingxiang thought about Liu Jin's actions just now.

Did he deliberately do this to make the emperor happy?

shook his head and didn't think about it anymore, but he was a little more vigilant about Liu Jin.

He arched his hand towards Zheng De and said, "Why did Your Majesty come here?" ”

Zheng De's face suddenly collapsed when he heard this, and he looked at Wang Tingxiang pitifully, "Ziheng, I owe debts again." ”

"Debt?" Wang Tingxiang didn't react for a while, and subconsciously asked, "How much do you owe?" ”

"Five hundred thousand!"

"Half a million?"

"Five hundred thousand!"

"Uh......"
