Liu Chengfeng looked at the ship from afar and farther, he faintly felt that someone on the boat seemed to have sensed him, staring for a moment, Liu Chengfeng immediately turned around indifferently, and chatted lightly with the inspector. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Recently, it has been said that the port should strengthen its vigilance, and it has been an eventful time recently, so we must not neglect our duties."

Liu Chengfeng admonished Zhao Cheng with a solemn face, and continued: "All the Francois who enter and leave must be reported, and those ordinary merchants and priests can let them move freely, but if someone steps into the border of my Great Chu, they must notify Jinyiwei, do you know?" ”

Inspector Zhao Cheng hurriedly agreed, and said: "Your Highness instructed, where do the lower officials dare to derelict their duties, besides, all the merchant ships entering and leaving must be registered, and there will be no problems." But I couldn't help but think in my heart: "What does it mean that Your Highness suddenly strictly inspected all checkpoints?" Is it necessary to make a big move? ”

In fact, Zhao Cheng knows a little bit about the recent unusualness, after all, he is not an ordinary ordinary person, and he is responsible for the entry and exit of this ship, so he vaguely knows that the nearby military port has left the port more than a month ago, although there is still a earth-shattering sound of training in the naval division camp, but Zhao Cheng knows that there is not one in ten officers and soldiers of the naval division here, and they are all for people to see.

It stands to reason that it is very common for a sailor to go to sea, but with such a large scale and such a secretive work, it is clear that there is something inside.

Zhao Cheng faintly felt that this was related to what His Highness ordered now.

He immediately became serious, although he had already guessed a few points, but he didn't dare to ask more, something was naturally hidden in his heart.

Liu Chengfeng inspected for a while, then returned to the palace, and the whole port resumed noisy, only Zhao Cheng felt that things were not quite right, so he immediately summoned the officials in the yazhong and prepared to impose inspections.

At the same time, a decree was also issued at the same time, and all vassal states that had made loans to the Chu State would receive interest on a monthly basis instead of the original annual collection, and all countries could go to the Treasury Bureau of the Ministry of Households to repay the loan or pay the interest in full.

To put it bluntly, this is to tighten the rope of loan repayment, which is to force everyone to repay the money.

And the countries are naturally dumbfounded, pay back? Everyone originally came to borrow money, where did they get the money to pay back? Even if you don't repay the principal and pay off the interest, I'm afraid that it will be a little unbearable, such as Annan, you need to take out 50,000 taels of silver every month to repay the interest of the loan, 50,000 taels of silver don't say it is now, that is, five years ago, when Annan's income and expenditure were the most balanced, it was also an astronomical amount, after all, Annan's annual treasury revenue was only hundreds of thousands of silver, 190,000 pieces of cloth, and 230,000 quintals of grain. There is only so much in the family, how can the interest of 50,000 yuan a month be paid by a vassal state like Annam?

In fact, when the money bank began to lend money, all countries were a little cautious, but once people relied on borrowing to live, gradually their appetite became bigger and bigger, when they knew that there was a money bag to support you, people had a lazy surname, so all kinds of ** will be born, and the final result is to borrow more and more, like a snowball, and when the cooking is broken, they are dumbfounded.

Money is unaffordable for most vassal states, in fact, Qian Zhuang has long planned to pay it back, and did not expect them to repay, every time they borrow, in fact, they have already let the vassal countries take minerals, port tariffs as collateral, according to the meaning of Qian Zhuang, these so-called loans, originally in disguise to buy mines and ports in various countries.

However, the current situation has changed, and the state of Chu is obviously not interested in those mines, which makes the vassal kings and envoys of the various vassal states feel even worse.

And Li Hui, the king of Annan, originally wanted to contact the king of Zhenla, and put on a posture of being willing to give up the previous suspicions, so as to put pressure on Liu Chengfeng, the king of Chu, who knew that Liu Chengfeng released the news, saying that there are exceptions to everything, and the money village may not lend money to all the vassal countries, but the specific special treatment of the vassal states is still being considered, so that the king of Zhenla, who was also anxious and intended to alleviate the contradiction in Annan, suddenly completely cut off contact with Li Hui.

But when the news came out, the guest house was already boiling, and the vassal kings and envoys of dozens of countries got together and began to ponder.

The state of Chu is deceiving people too much, not giving everyone a way to live, at this point, it must want to seek the vital interests of all countries, how can everyone be restrained?

Li Hui, the king of Annam, took the lead, and even the king of Zhenla, who had been avoiding him, was also present, in addition to the envoys of Aceh, Dover and other countries also arrived, this matter was not small, and the guest house hurriedly sent people to inform the political axe, and the political axe did not seem to move.

The reason why no measures were taken is because there is no excuse at all, people get together and talk, how can you, the host, care? However, it is said that among the words of these people, there are many disrespectful words towards the Ming and Chu States, in fact, there is no need to say that the three ministers in the parliamentary axe only need to think about it, and they can know what kind of prison these people will make when they get together.

Scratching is naturally scratching, the political axe is not interested in taking care of it, the news is reported to Liu Chengfeng's side, Liu Chengfeng is obviously not interested in taking care of it, the news has just come from the DPRK, it is the express report of Chen Hongyu, who commanded Chen Hongyu in Jinyi Weidu, at this time not only Lianzhou is chaotic, but also in Beijing, the contradictions on the side of Jingshi have been completely intensified, the emperor expressed his views several times when listening to the government, and was blocked back by the cabinet ministers, the little emperor was naturally furious, and originally wanted to find the Empress Dowager Zhang to complain, but who knew that the Empress Dowager Zhang stood on the side of the cabinet.

Empress Dowager Zhang's choice is correct, no matter what, the little emperor is not familiar with government affairs after all, and the cabinet cannot do what he wants.

But Zhu Houzhao is obviously an unwilling person, after losing his temper, he actually broke the jar and broke it, directly called him sick, and never came to court again.

What the little emperor showed was an attitude, which meant to tell everyone that since they didn't listen to him, then he would leave it alone and non-violently and non-cooperative.

Zhu Houzhao originally thought that he could provoke the retreat of the Manchu civil and military forces, but he didn't know that a storm had brewed, and the impeachment book flew into the inner court like snowflakes, posing for the first emperor of filial piety, which really taught him a lesson, and was even more vicious, and actually hid some obscure disrespectful words in the book.

It is nothing more than that Zhu Houzhao is not sick, but because he loves beauty. Some people even said that the emperor was misled by the annihilation ministers, and the more vicious ones were to use their imagination, saying that although the emperor was still young and young, he had been married to the crown princess for more than a year, and many concubines were selected in the palace, but why still there were no heirs? This is because of this, someone gave an answer, saying that this is because the emperor is short of silver, so that his body is broken, for the sake of the country, please take care of himself no matter what.

Zhu Houzhao has no heirs so far, although he has not shown anything on the surface, but he is only a little worried in his heart, but someone actually directly pierced this layer of window paper, and Zhu Houzhao's surname finally broke out.

In his opinion, these ministers are shameless. Back then, the father favored Zhu Houzhao's mother, and as a result, someone wrote a letter of impeachment, saying that Empress Zhang was favored in front of the emperor and only had one son and one daughter, which was not a blessing for the country. Now Zhu Houzhao has a lot of concubines, but some people scolded him for being ridiculous, and even picked up Zhu Houzhao's poor **.

He immediately went to the inner palace to see the Empress Dowager Zhang, although the Empress Dowager Zhang was biased towards the cabinet in state affairs, but she was surprisingly silent in this matter, he neither said that the minister was not, nor did he say that the emperor was not, but just said lightly, the emperor is the son of heaven, how to get along with the courtiers, do you have to come to ask the mourning family?

Judging from this sentence, Empress Dowager Zhang is still very resentful, in fact, she has long been dissatisfied with some Qingliu, but she is subtle, plus orphans and widows need to rely on these people in state affairs, and can even make compromises and concessions to them. But in this matter, although her position is vague, in fact, it is surprisingly firm, Zhu Houzhao is his son, some people scolded him for this, and it will be recorded in history for thousands of years in the future, although Empress Dowager Zhang is also worried about hugging the emperor and grandson, but this does not mean that people can openly take it out and use the topic to play.

After getting this sentence, Zhu Houzhao finally straightened his waist, he first ordered Xichang to take a few officials who spoke too much, and then ordered someone to take a cane.

And Xichang also took this opportunity to shine, Liu Jin personally sat in the doorway of the noon gate, sitting and watching the prison, seven or eight officials, four were killed on the spot, and the rest were all put into prison awaiting trial.

It is precisely because of this opportunity that Liu Jin has also risen, and the new emperor has held his breath, and he must give a little bit of strength to let the ministers take a look, and Liu Jin naturally became the whip in Zhu Houzhao's hand, waving it everywhere, and the West Factory jumped to the top of the factory overnight, and almost all the major royal cases fell into the hands of the West Factory.

When the first emperor was there, the factory guards were useless, because the first emperor used virtue to govern his subjects, so how the factory guards were domineering, it was only within the controllable range. But now the new emperor's name is Zhengde, but even if he is virtuous, it is useless, because the cabinet has already controlled the super-outline, so he is determined to govern the ministers with factory guards, and the ministers have seized his power, so he reuses the factory guards to ask for the surnames of those ministers who speak too much.

Xiao Jing of Dongchang was obedient to Zhu Houzhao on the surface, but in fact, he was on the side of the cabinet and secretly communicated with the cabinet, which was not enough to gain the trust of the new emperor. Although Jinyiwei is loyal to the emperor, and Zhu Houzhao also trusts him, the problem is that it is impossible for Jinyiwei military attache to accompany the emperor at all times, guess his thoughts, and be on call at any time. So Zhu Houzhao's final choice was the West Factory. The West Factory is prosperous, and it is soaring, and the gradually maturing Liu Jin is naturally hot.

In fact, Liu Chengfeng had already had such a guess about this result, so when he received Chen Hongyu's letter, Liu Chengfeng didn't feel strange, he read the letter, and couldn't help but sigh, if it goes on like this, something will happen sooner or later, but I don't know who will win in the final result?

"It seems that this matter in Lianzhou must be resolved as soon as possible, once something happens, the Queen Mother can't control the situation, I'm afraid that she has to summon herself to Beijing." Liu Chengfeng secretly commanded in his heart, and then a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
