Chapter 178, the hundred officials reprimanded

Shen Mingze went to Zhong's house, but not to borrow money, but just to meet his cousin.

He went to the Zhong Mansion first, and first saw that the house number had been replaced and replaced with the Zhong Guo Mansion, and he said in his heart: "Is this a separation?" ”

After entering the Zhong Mansion, I went to see his uncle first, who is now at home and practicing swordsmanship in the school field.

Looking at that move, all of them were ruthless, he silently retreated, paused at his point, and hurriedly stepped forward to hand over the silk handkerchief.

"Uncle's swordsmanship is getting better and better, and he is extremely brave, which makes the little nephew ashamed."

Zhong Yong glanced at him and asked, "How are things going?" ”

"It's being done, isn't this coming to the door to ask, who should pay for the deficit of the second master of the Zhong family? Come and ask my uncle for a word..."

"Now that the Zhong Mansion is separated, naturally whoever borrowed it will pay it back. This newly separated person has a lot of money in his hand. If the second master doesn't pay it back, you can go to the house, anyway, he has no official position now. Kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys..."

"Thank you, uncle, I'll do it."

As soon as Shen Mingze turned a corner, he went to Zhong Jinxiu's courtyard, which was already familiar.

However, Zhong Jinxiu was not in the courtyard, and heard the maid say that she went to her sister-in-law's room.

He asked a few more questions, and when he saw that she was fine, he was relieved.

He couldn't wait long, so he prepared to leave.

However, Zhong Jinxiu heard that his cousin had entered the mansion and thought that he should have something to do.

She knew more or less about what had happened in the court recently, but there was no news from the Shen family.

In this life, most people's experiences are living according to the previous life, but cousin?

If the cousin in the previous life had such business talents, he would definitely not quit the court because the Shen family couldn't pay the money?

What could be the reason for that?

Zhong Jinxiu thought about it, and asked people to stop Shen Mingze.

In the pavilion not far from the door, Zhong Jinxiu went, Shen Mingze was already waiting, and there was a second brother next to him.

Zhong Jinxiu stepped forward and heard the second brother mention the Wang family, but he hadn't heard a word yet, and the eyes of the two fell on her side.

Zhong Lang smiled and said, "You guys talk first, I still have something to go out." ”

After Zhong Jinxiu left, he asked, "Cousin, are you here?" ”

A Taobao shop, with a monthly income of 10,000 gold, it is impossible for the Shen family to not be able to repay the money.

Then why did my cousin leave the court?

In the last life, she only knew that the Shen family was because she couldn't afford to pay back the money, Shen Mingze was forced to be helpless, and the ancestor of the Yin family was strong, exchanging money for people, and he had to follow the ancestor of the Yin family to engage in business.

But in this life, Shen Yin went to the Yin family.

So what could it be that would make him leave the court?

Shen Mingze said: "I just came to see my cousin, nothing else." ”

Zhong Jinxiu stepped forward and said, "Cousin, the Shen family may pay back the arrears this time?" Can I help? ”

Shen Mingze smiled and said, "Don't worry, cousin, this is all an adult's business, don't worry about it, my grandfather has already decided to sell the treasures he collected." ”

Zhong Jinxiu frowned slightly.

"Won't my cousin help?"

"I didn't borrow it." Shen Mingze paused and said, "I still have a daughter-in-law." ”

Zhong Jinxiu listened to his words, and after being stunned for a moment, she smiled.

It's not because of the arrears, it should be something else.

What could it be?

Could it be because he liked other women, and the Shen family was unwilling, so he was disheartened, so he was disgusted with the court?

It's a possibility.

"What is my cousin thinking?"

Zhong Jinxiu asked, "Cousin... Acquaintance? ”

Shen Mingze was stunned and asked quietly, "Cousin, who did you listen to?" ”

Zhong Jinxiu said: "Cousin, even if there is, I won't stop it." ”

Shen Mingze's handsome eyebrows were slightly horizontal, and his gaze at his cousin was a little scrutinizing, Shen Mingze was not very old, but his eyes were extremely sharp, Zhong Jinxiu was slightly unbearable, and said with low eyebrows: "No one said anything, I just asked casually." ”

"What my cousin said, I remember, if I really have any good looks, whether I am male or female, I will know my cousin."

......

Because of the support of someone behind this incident and the support of the family, the money was collected extremely smoothly. The two masters of the Zhong family repaid the money very smoothly.

But there is a hard stubble, the old minister of the first emperor, Jiang Ling, the king side by side. followed the emperor to fight the world, Shen Mingze went once, appeased a lot, understood with reason, moved with affection, and there was no persecution.

Jiang Ling was still hard at first, and was finally persuaded by this Lord Shen.

When Shen Mingze left their house for the third time, he looked at Shen Mingze's back and said: "The country has such a hot-blooded young man, and the Great Song Dynasty will be immortal, so I don't have to worry about it." ”

The fourth time Shen Mingze came to the door again, Jiang Ling sighed and said: "There is no money in the house, I don't blame you for this matter, I will personally enter the palace to ask the emperor for guilt." ”

Shen Mingze pondered for a moment and said: "I know these things, when the emperor drove out on the expedition, the treasury had no money, and it was you who led the family and donated money to contribute, which made the lower officials very admired, and now you are in trouble, but you gritted your teeth and endured it." I never complained to the emperor, which made the lower officials admire even more, these few times I came, I wanted to mention to you and help you pay off the arrears, but I was afraid that you would not want to, and I would be angry, so..."

Jiang Ling narrowed his eyes and felt that this kid was good.

"You're going to help me pay back what I owe?"

"Is the prince willing?"

"No, this king is not willing to owe favors to others."

He admired his backbone even more.

Shen Mingze said: "My grandfather's family is a businessman, and there is some spare money at home, if the prince is willing, he can borrow money, as for this profit?" You have the final say, Lord Wang. When will it be returned, and you will have the final say? ”

Jiang Ling looked at the kid differently, he didn't want interest, he didn't urge him to repay the money, and he risked millions of silver dollars to go to waste, this person was very bold.

It can be seen that there is a real admiration with him.

"That's it, just do as you say, and if you need help from my family in the future, just say it."

Jiang Ling's old stubbornness has paid the money, who in the court dares not to pay?

They didn't have any money, so they went to find merchants to borrow, those who sold houses sold houses, and those who sold land sold land, this time the arrears were repaid quickly, and the emperor was very happy, and immediately promoted Shen Mingze to be the second-grade Guanglu doctor with a gold medal and purple ribbon, which is the youngest Guanglu doctor in a hundred years.

As for His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the emperor rewarded a lot of things, and transferred the King of Jin to the household.

This is a bit of a red-eyed sight.

King Huan was not convinced, and reported: "Father, Shen Mingze threatened the hundred officials with something out of nothing this time, and the people were panicked, what resentment did the hundred officials have in their hearts, and the sons felt that Lord Shen should not be rewarded and punished?" ”

"I have been in a hundred years, and there has never been such a sharp thing, what Western Xia spies are all over my Great Song Dynasty Baiguan Mansion, it's too appalling. Lord Shen gave a list of various mansions, which made the mansions miserable, and the officials resented? ”

"And the secret text of each province? Who doesn't have two scandals, but it's just a trivial matter, but it was taken by Lord Shen to talk about it, and Lord Shen really didn't compromise the means in order to get to the top. ”

"For the sake of the superior position, he did not bend his means, made people panic, and the officials were shocked, such an unkind and unrighteous person, father, how can he be rewarded?"

The hundred officials were stirred up by Shen Mingze for many days, those who sold their fields sold their fields, and those who borrowed usury borrowed usury, and they were very smoky.

I was even more angry in my heart, and now I heard King Huan come out for them, and I was very grateful in my heart.

"Your Majesty, this time Lord Shen took advantage of this matter to collude with merchants to lend usury, the circumstances are serious, and the collusion between officials and businessmen is a big taboo. Please punish the emperor severely..."

"Please punish Your Majesty severely..."

The hundred officials echoed, with the intention of persecuting His Majesty, and the emperor said: "Lord Shen, what do you have to say?" ”

Shen Mingze sneered in his heart, wanting to win over the ministers?

Hmph, this matter is ordered by His Majesty, and if you obstruct it, you will be in opposition to Your Majesty.

For the sake of the ministers to offend His Majesty? His Royal Highness King Huan, your mind is not good.

He said: "The minister is guilty, please ask Your Majesty to surrender." It's just that before His Majesty punishes the crime, the minister wants to ask His Royal Highness King Huan a word? ”

"What does Lord Shen want to ask?"

Shen Mingze took a step forward and asked, "It is natural to repay debts, or does His Highness think that he can repay his debts?" ”

"Or does His Royal Highness King Huan think that the silver in the treasury is not yours and has nothing to do with you?"

His Royal Highness King Huan's heart was shocked, and it was natural to repay the debt.

But he used this to threaten everyone, colluded with merchants, and abused power for personal gain, which is a crime.

And because of this, he will be impeached by hundreds of officials.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Huan said that the minister used power for personal gain, and the minister did not admit it, but said that the minister threatened the officials, and the minister did not admit it."

"Your Majesty, it is natural to repay debts, hundreds of officials take the silver of the treasury, some are to do business, some are to release silver, some open casinos, anyway, they are making a lot of money, now the treasury is empty, the emperor ordered people to collect silver, King Huan complained, is King Huan resentful of the emperor ordering his ministers to collect silver? Or are the officials complaining about His Majesty's collection of treasury silver? ”

King Huan listened to his accusations, and his heart was resentful, what is resentment?

The ministers were terrified and pleaded guilty one after another.

"The ministers are in trouble and want to borrow money from the treasury, what did the emperor say? The emperor is in trouble with his ministers, and he has never spoken, but now that Huainan is drought, the treasury can't take out the money, the emperor is embarrassed, what can the hundred officials repay? ”

"You say I colluded with merchants to lend money? Yes, it is true that I asked someone to contact a big merchant, for what? Naturally, it is to help the emperor and help hundreds of officials solve urgent needs. You can go and check and ask, why do you think the merchants have given you only half a cent of the money, or even less? Because of your majesty's fame, I will give them good treatment, because I will take only half of your profits. You actually said that I used my power for personal gain? Sure enough, this good person can't just do it. ”

The ministers were speechless, only to look left and right, King Huan glanced at some officials, and the official said: "Your Majesty, it is natural to repay debts, but Lord Shen acts too undisciplined, and his words are persecutive." On the Zhong Guogong Mansion, the second room of the Zhong family, Zhong Hou. was already blind, and he received the emperor's grace, but he could delay it for a few days, but Lord Shen falsely passed on the holy decree, saying that if he didn't pay back the money, he would quarrel and exterminate the clan, this move was bold and could not be left untreated..."
