Chapter 1: The Son of Heaven led a team to raid the house

Next Chapter

Daming, November 3, 1627.

The Royal Palace, the Hall of the Middle Peace.

"Your Majesty, the Wei thief has been ambushed." Wang Chengen, who had just been promoted to the chief eunuch of the celebrant and the pen, reported in a low voice.

"Great, man...... Uh, I can sleep soundly......"

Emperor Chongzhen, who was only sixteen years old, was so excited that he slapped his thigh, sister, finally killed Wei Zhongxian, the boulder stuck in his throat finally fell with a bang, and he could really sleep peacefully.

Wang Chengen blinked his old eyes, he had a strange feeling in his heart, after that night of thunder and lightning and strong winds, the emperor seemed to have become a little weird, and often coldly came up with one or two strange words that made people inexplicable, which scared him into a daze.

"Lao Wang, let's go, go to the house." Emperor Chongzhen said happily, Emperor Jiaqing copied one billion from the homes of corrupt officials and gentry, and they couldn't be sent anymore, I don't know how much they could copy from Lao Wei's house?

What deviates slightly from history is that Wei Zhongxian failed to go to Fengyang after being taken away, but was placed under house arrest in the White Tiger Hall to guard the spirit of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and then committed suicide, and the executor was Wang Chengen, who was served by the secret decree of the Son of Heaven.

Wei Zhongxian died in the capital, and the treasures of more than 40 carts recorded in historical records failed to get on the road, but they all stayed at home, waiting for him to check and make a lot of money, this is the advantage of Zhu Jian, a graduate student studying history.

"The emperor can't ......"

Wang Chengen was frightened, stunned for a long time before he reacted, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to dissuade him, making a super joke about Shenma, the emperor wants to lead a team to raid the house, isn't this putting him on the fire to roast? If you don't drown alive by the saliva of those civil officials, you will be beaten to death by Empress Zhou and Empress Yi'an.

"How?" Zhu Jian raised his face and glared at Wang Chengen who was kneeling on the ground with a fierce look.

"Your Majesty...... No, ...... The old slave is willing to die...... "Wang Chengen wept bitterly, he would rather die than get up, he died left and right, rather than being drowned alive by saliva and bearing the infamy of the ages, he would rather be cut off by the Son of Heaven.

"You old eunuch...... Zhu Jian scolded angrily, and kicked the person over with a flying kick, but it was still difficult to eliminate the anger in his heart.

"The emperor is angry, the old slave deserves death...... Wang Chengen got up from the ground, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"You...... Okay, you get up, let's discuss it......" Zhu Jian was so angry that he almost ordered to drag him out and behead him, but he became a little calm under the rage, he took a few deep breaths of cold air, and tried to calm himself down.

Look at this posture, Wang Chengen, the old eunuch, is really going to die, the old guy is in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, and he still has the ability, and he committed suicide after Chongzhen hanged himself, this loyalty alone made Zhu Jian trust him, and the hard one was not good, so he had to come soft.

"Lao Wang, let's discuss, do you have bargaining when doing business, right? Hehe, let's discuss slowly, hehe......"

Zhu Jian patted him on the shoulder, and discussed calmly, copy Lao Wei's house, I must be present to supervise the drop, so as not to be greedy, this is no room for negotiation, however, I can take a step back, change my appearance and makeup, and pretend to be the little eunuch next to you, I promise not to make a noise, so you can rest assured, right?

"Your Majesty ......" Wang Chengen cried with a sad face and wanted to persuade.

"Okay, okay, Lao Wang, I know that you are loyal, so after taking the throne, I will immediately promote you to the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, do a good job, I believe in you, I also need you, I want to reorganize the Jinyi Guard, reopen the East Factory, you first temporarily lead the commander of the East Factory, and integrate the old people before...... Well, get me a eunuch suit, hehe. Zhu Jian flickered, pushed and shoved, and simply fooled Wang Chengen away.

Although it is a fool, but the reorganization of Jinyiwei and the reopening of the East Factory is true, Jinyiwei and the East Factory have the duty of internal supervision, and they are the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, Chongzhen was fooled by the Donglin Party, removed the Jinyi Wei and the East and West Factory, became deaf and blind, and did not know what was happening outside, and was fooled miserably.

When later generations commented, there were even some more radical opinions that the layoff of Jinyiwei and the East and West Factory was one of the main reasons for Chongzhen's end, whether it was or not, Zhu Jian, who was a traverser, would not make this mistake.

Wang Chengen's brain was in a mess, but he was still very happy in his heart, the position of the great eunuch was already the peak of the eunuch's life, he was not interested in the position of the commander of the East Factory, but the East Factory was a knife in the hands of the eunuch, and the reopening of the East Factory meant that the eunuch could regain real power, of course, he was loyal to the Son of Heaven, and the East Factory was the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, and the eagle dog.

"Someone come, tell me my will." Zhu Jian shouted loudly, and the momentum of the king eight on his body suddenly burst out, no, it was Long Wei.

His will was to convict Wei Zhongxian by means of the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian's major crimes by a group of civil officials, and the chief eunuch Wang Chengen led 300 people to raid the Wei Mansion.

Zhu Jian changed into eunuch clothes under Wang Chengen's service, and several dragon and tiger guards dressed up as wrestlers, personal guards, and followed Wang Chengen out of the palace.

The Dragon and Tiger Guards are the secret dead soldiers who specialize in guarding the Son of Heaven, it is said that after extremely cruel training and elimination, it is generally the number of ten people, named after the number, there are only four Dragon and Tiger Guards left behind by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and they are all over half a hundred years old, but they are all masters of the masters, and there is absolutely no problem in terms of loyalty.

Although there were 300 Lux guards, Wang Chengen was still trembling, for fear that something would happen, but fortunately, no one in the Wei Mansion dared to resist, and they all honestly knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands, and obediently let the wrestlers tie up.

After Wang Chengen confirmed that he was completely in control of the situation, he dared to take Zhu Jian into the Wei Mansion with trepidation.

"Wow-"

When Lux smashed open the treasury, Zhu Jian was so pierced by the light of the golden and white flowers in the room that he could hardly open his eyes, his saliva flowed, and Nima made a fortune.

There are N ten large boxes neatly placed in the whole treasury, which are either gold or silver, and there are more than four million taels in a rough count, not counting many valuable jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, land deeds, etc., and the specific number has to be calculated to know.

According to Zhu Jian's instructions, Wang Chengen asked Lux to lock and load all the boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, and other valuable Dongdong into the car, and then cover them tightly with cloth, and escort them back to the palace first.

Of course, Zhu Jian was not too greedy, at least he left a large amount of copper coins and a small amount of silver to deal with the civil officials of the Donglin Party, and there were more than 50,000 taels of silver in cash, and the proportion of copper coins was converted to silver according to one to one, but the actual circulation ratio of one tael of silver to 1,500 wen yuan, or even more.

Zhu Jian doesn't care so much, it's polite to leave more than 50,000 taels into the treasury, who let the whole empire become greedy, and the military equipment is wasted, in order to save his life, he has to follow the greed, fill his own pockets, rather than fat others, it is better to fat himself.

Of course, there are also a large number of cloth gods and horses, which are estimated to be given to Lao Wei by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, which are not worth much, and there are a lot of miscellaneous and miscellaneous items, which are not very valuable, and they are all filled with the treasury.

Wang Chengen wiped his old tears and signed his name on the list, the emperor must be crazy, how can there be a reason to be greedy for his own treasury? This is an eternal anecdote that has never been seen before or since, did the old slave do something wrong? Whining......
