After all, no matter what you say, if you really have silver, it is easy to do a thing, and the three million taels of silver that the emperor rewarded Zheng Xunrui have already cashed, and 500,000 taels of gold, if it is exchanged in the market, plus six million taels of silver, as for a hundred night pearls, each one is definitely worth more than 20,000 taels of silver, if this thing is in the south, one is worth at least 40,000 taels of silver.

This means that Zheng Xunrui's negotiation this time is more than 10 million taels of silver from Houjin Tatar, and according to the current market price, it is at least 13 million taels of silver.

Later, Hou Xun figured it out, it turned out that Zheng Xunrui didn't want to take advantage of the imperial court, since the transaction was 10 million taels of silver, the reward that Zheng Jiajun received was in addition to this 10 million taels of silver, which was also taken out by Houjin Tartar.

Of course, Hou Xun's main task is still related to the affairs of the cabinet ministers, and he is very promising, as for whether he can become the second assistant of the cabinet, don't think about it for the time being, and now the highest voice is Zhang Fengyi, who is not comparable to him.

The sudden wave of impeachment in the imperial court made Hou Xun feel strange, after all, he was in it, as the head of the household, he knew the importance of silver, and the silver in the treasury this time was equivalent to the sum of the income of the past three years, and although the taxes under the Great Tomorrow reached more than 30 million taels of silver, it could really reach the capital, which was more than 3 million taels per year.

Therefore, Hou Xun thought that the emperor's decision was correct, and he also admired Zheng Xunrui's ability, and he was able to take the opportunity to blackmail Houjin Tartar, so that Huang Taiji obediently took out the gold and silver.

The wave of impeachment in the imperial court, Hou Xun did not participate in it, and he did not care about these things, he could do a good job in the affairs of the household department, and during the sensitive period, he still cared less about other things.

Seeing his son Hou Fangyu at home, with an excited smile on his face, Hou Xun didn't particularly care.

Hou Fangyu's ability is good. He is also a little famous among scholars, and when he is less than twenty years old, he has become one of the leaders of the Restoration Society, which is something that makes Hou Xun happy. After all, the impact of the resumption of society is also very great.

Besides, Hou Fangyu made a special trip to the capital this time, also so that he Hou Xun could enter the cabinet to carry out activities, and the current effect is good, he has such an ability to do activities at a young age, and it is also good to meet the future development.

Hou Xun entered the study. Hou Fangyu followed in.

"Chaozong, is there something wrong?"

"Father, the child has something to discuss with his father."

"Oh, if there's something, sit down and talk about it."

"Father, do you know that during this time, many adults are impeaching the Minister of the Cabinet, Lord Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Lord Zheng Xunrui, the left deputy envoy of the Ministry of War."

Hou Wenwen frowned, he was an old man. From Hou Fangyu's words, he already felt something.

Hou Fangyu obviously didn't notice Hou Xun's expression, he was still immersed in joy, maybe because he was too young, he forgot the entrustment of Zhang Pu and others, and couldn't help but say something.

"Father, the wave of impeachment of Lord Zhang and Lord Zheng was provoked by Brother Tianru, and the child fully agreed, and Lord Zhang and Lord Zheng were appointed officials of the imperial court. should be jealous and hateful, why did he negotiate with the Houjin Tartars, or even make a deal, this move actually insulted my dignity. It also disgraces the face of the reader......"

Hou Xun's face was a little gloomy, he had already thought of the mystery behind this, now is the most critical moment, many adults in the DPRK are speculating who will enter the cabinet, who will become the second assistant of the cabinet, and the possibility of Zhang Fengyi becoming the second assistant of the cabinet is very large. It can be regarded as the expectation of the public, but at this time, the wave of impeachment appeared, didn't he want to pull down Zhang Fengyi, not to mention the cabinet deputy assistant, whether he could keep the position of cabinet assistant minister, it is not clear.

Someone impeached Zhang Fengyi, and those who could get benefits from it, in addition to those adults who might enter the cabinet, there were also cabinet ministers such as Qian Shisheng, Wu Zongda and Zhang Zhifa, after all, these people are all likely to become cabinet assistants.

Zhang Pu and others set off a wave of impeachment, on the surface, they wanted to calculate Zhang Fengyi, Zheng Xunrui and others, but in fact, with a little analysis, you can know that there are other people who have benefited from this.

When Hou Fangyu was still happily speaking, Hou Xun spoke with a gloomy face.

"Don't say it, you don't know anything about the affairs of the imperial court, but here you are arrogant, talking about the imperial court, let me say what about you, do you think the impeachment of Lord Zhang and Lord Zheng is a good thing."

Hearing that Hou Xun's tone was wrong, Hou Fangyu's face turned a little pale.

"Chaozong, things in the court are very complicated, you don't know the mystery of it, you do have some knowledge, and you have a lot of friends, but you have to think carefully about anything, don't think about it because you are young, if you have such thoughts, you will suffer in the end."

Hou Fangyu looked at Hou Xun, a little unconvinced.

"Why did the father say this, the child felt that they were doing the right thing."

Hou Xun shook his head slightly, he was unwilling to reprimand Hou Fangyu, but he was still willing to be reasonable.

"Okay, let me ask you a few things, the first thing, did Zhang Pu and others say it, asking me to take more care and support them in the future, the second thing, whether Zhang Pu and others are in close contact with Lord Qian in the cabinet, the matter of impeaching Lord Zhang and Lord Zheng, although Zhang Pu and others participated, but Lord Qian did not participate in it, and the third thing, Zhang Pu and others did not come forward to contact, and some contact matters were not handed over to you to handle......

Hou Fangyu's face turned pale, and his body trembled slightly.

How did my father know about these things? ”

At this time, Hou Xun was really angry.

"Chaozong, although you are young, you are also one of the leaders of the Restoration Society, how can you have such a judgment and discernment ability, not to mention whether the impeachment of Lord Zhang and Lord Zheng is correct, just say that Lord Qian and Zhang Pu and others are not strange, who doesn't know that Lord Qian is strongly supporting Zhang Pu and others, this matter of impeachment of Lord Zhang and Lord Zheng, since it is mainly based on Zhang Pu and others, why is Lord Qian not involved, you are not an official of the imperial court, why should you contact these matters."

A series of questions made Hou Fangyu faintly feel that something was wrong, but he still didn't figure it out.

"There are some things that you came forward to do, do you think the adults in the court will care about you, to put it mildly, they don't even care about Zhang Pu and others, Zhang Pu and others also know that their influence is not enough, so they pull you out, hmph, since they helped you do something, then you also have to help them do something."

Hou Xun's words were so straightforward, Hou Fangyu finally understood.

"So that's the case, Brother Tianru asked the child to help contact, and he was looking at his father."

"Not only that, Zhang Pu and others also want to tie me in, thinking that I will become one with them."

"This, is there any contradiction between my father and Lord Qian?"

Hou Fangyu said such a thing, Hou Yun only sighed, although he is also a member of the Donglin Party, but he has been the head of the household department for a long time, Hou Xun's views are a little different, he does not approve of excessive party disputes, and he also knows that in the cabinet, the first assistant Wen Tiren and others are a little unaccustomed to the behavior of the Donglin Party.

"Chaozong, this is not a matter of contradiction, this is a matter of principle, from today onwards, you study behind closed doors, don't go out, at such a critical time, your every move has been noticed by many people, a little negligence, I am to blame, the situation in the court, the emperor will naturally have an analysis, just rely on Zhang Pu and others, thinking that they can completely shake the court, they think too naïve, you remember my words, no matter what you do in the future, think more about the reasons behind it."

After Hou Fangyu left the study, Hou Xun fell into contemplation, if the impeachment of Zhang Fengyi and Zheng Xunrui, Hou Fangyu did not participate in it, he could have watched from the wall, and even got a lot of benefits from it, but Hou Fangyu participated in it, the meaning is different, maybe at this time, the emperor already has an opinion in his heart, thinking that he can't wait, and it is not good for him to come forward, so let Hou Fangyu come forward to move and instigate.

Hou Xun's views on Zhang Pu and others, at this time, there have been great changes, and even the Fushe and Ying She also have a bad view, the vast majority of the Fu She and Ying She are young scholars, these people are ignorant of the world, easy to be instigated, and it is very likely that they will become the object of use by others unconsciously.

Thinking that Hou Fangyu was being used, the treacherous and cunning Hou Xun must have been unhappy.

The actions of Zhang Pu and others, in the eyes of the emperor, must be party struggle.

Zheng Xunrui obviously made a huge contribution, and he did it according to the emperor's requirements, but in the end he was impeached by so many people, what will the emperor do, not to mention that the gold and silver are in the warehouse, and the court can do a lot of things, at this time, the hero was impeached, does that mean that the silver will be returned.

The more Hou Xun thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, he had to make a certain gesture, at least to prove his innocence.

After thinking about the stakes, Hou Xun left the mansion and went to visit the cabinet chief assistant Wen Tiren.

When he returned to the mansion, it was already dark, and Hou Xun's face was much better, and he could see a hint of a smile.

The oil lamp in Hou Fangyu's room was on.

Walking into the room, Hou Fangyu was reading a book.

Hou Xun waved his hand, signaling that Hou Fangyu did not need to stand up.

"Chaozong, what I said today, you must remember, when you encounter principled matters, you must think more about yourself, and then see if you can do it, you have been in the capital for a long time, go home early, don't continue to participate in these things in the court, otherwise it will be very unfavorable to you and me."
