The Emperor of the Apocalypse was in a hurry.

Wei Zhongxian was also speechless, and took a look at the house to see how excited His Majesty was.

Wei Zhongxian followed the meaning of the Emperor of the Apocalypse and said: "That is, after all, it is the Qianhu of Xinxian County that did not take this matter to heart, but made His Majesty wait in a hurry, but ...... Slow also has the benefit of slowness, as the so-called slow work produces fine work. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse gritted his teeth and said: "This is counting silver, not carpentry, do you still need to teach this?" ”

As he spoke, the Emperor of the Apocalypse became more and more anxious, so he stood up and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

Wei Zhongxian reminded at this time: "Your Majesty, it's time to see the cabinet scholars and the scholars. ”

ALTHOUGH THE EMPEROR OF THE APOCALYPSE RARELY ATTENDED COURT MEETINGS, IN HIS OPINION, SUCH CEREMONIAL COURT MEETINGS WERE OF LITTLE USE EXCEPT FOR BEING BORING AND EMPTY.

But every once in a while, it is necessary to summon scholars and scholars to discuss matters.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty should not be scolded and stupid, but in fact, the power in this area is very tight.

However, the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't have much in mind today.

But no matter how bad the mood was, he still had to do something, so he had to say, "Okay, please come in and talk." ”

A moment later, more than a dozen ministers walked in, led by Huang Liji, and the expressions of the rest of the scholars and scholars all looked a little dignified.

What happened in the capital recently shocked many people, when the prince of Chaoguo was actually raided, this was only something that Emperor Taizu Gao had when he was there.

As a result, all kinds of gossip inevitably spread out, so that the DPRK and China had a little more solemn atmosphere.

The ministers saluted first.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse bowed his head and said, "Let's all be exempted from the courtesy." ”

Everyone took their seats.

Huang Liji took the lead in smiling and said, "Your Majesty's complexion seems to be a little bad, and there are rumors outside the palace......"

"What's the rumor?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse said very directly: "It's Zhu Chunchen's business, right?" ”

"Exactly." Huang Liji said: "The ministers think that if Zhu Chunchen commits a crime, he will be punished by the canon, but he will ...... Now suddenly someone has been arrested and their homes have been raided......... But the crime is ......"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was in an irritable mood at this time, and he even lost a little patience to speak, and said, "When Jinyiwei verifies all the charges, he will naturally issue an order." ”

Huang Liji understood, although His Majesty did not say it explicitly, it was obvious that Zhu Chunchen's case must be very big, so he smiled and said: "The ministers are actually here to report the victory." ”

"Victory?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse was surprised: "Is there any good news?" ”

Huang Liji exchanged glances with Sun Chengzong and others, and finally Huang Liji said: "At the beginning of the month, Zhang San'er, a subordinate of Gao Yingxiang, led his troops to return to Germany, and Xin Wangwei went out to fight and defeated Zhang San'er in one fell swoop. Zhang San'er was defeated and beheaded more than 2,000 people, and the morale of Henan was greatly boosted. It is worth mentioning that Wang Wenzhi, the supervisor of the left guard of the king of Xin, was originally the imperial history of the court, and he was a vassal with the king of Xin, so the king of Xin relied on him as his heart, and ordered him to govern the army, stationed in Luyi County, and trained soldiers and horses. It is reported that after Wang Wenzhi arrived, the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and there were 3,000 people in the left guard of the king, all of whom were educated by Wang Wenzhi, and everyone was brave. After reading it, King Xin was overjoyed, and heard that he also gave him a python robe to wear. Originally, I thought that this Wang Wenzhi was just boasting, but who knew that this person was really victorious, and the thief army was far from being an opponent. ”

Huang Liji looked a little embarrassed, in fact, he didn't want to report the matter of believing in the king, and he couldn't help but play it when he believed that the king was playing.

Speaking of which, it's embarrassing.

As for the thief Gao Yingxiang, this person proclaimed himself the king of Chuang, led hundreds of thousands of rogues to sweep through Guanzhong, and led many subordinates to wander around and kill officials and soldiers everywhere.

Henan Bu Political Envoy Department is also the hardest hit area now, and now the King of Xin, who is now in Defu, has directly won a great victory, which can be regarded as a happy event.

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, he couldn't help but feel incredible, and subconsciously said, "Brother I, is so powerful? I asked him to return to Germany and allowed him to manage the military and political affairs of the domain, but he really did a good job? ”

Huang Liji said: "This is what Song Shu wrote, and the King of Zhou in Kaifeng also wrote a book about this matter, and the magistrates of Henan prefectures and counties also mentioned it, so I don't think there will be any fake." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said lightly: "You can Pingyu (Henan) in six months, you really have this ability, but it is an indispensable talent, a royal history, you can govern the army on the horse, could it be that there is another Wang Yangming in my dynasty?" ”

Huang Liji said: "I heard...... This man is best at what kind of heart-attacking battle, every time he preaches to the soldiers, the soldiers listen to his words, often cry, and say that they want to repay the king's kindness and so on. Before the thieves arrived, they first posted a notice to tell the thieves about the righteousness, and when the thieves heard about it, they were often ashamed of themselves...... The minister didn't understand this march and war, but he heard that it was very powerful. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but feel mysterious when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Can you fight with one mouth?" ”

Immediately, the Apocalypse Emperor's face pulled down as he noticed that the ministers were all embarrassed.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse became indignant: "Why, do you think that I am jealous of my brother? Since I ordered Xinwang Zhen to return to Germany, I am naturally frank and selfless in my heart, but I am also quite proficient in military affairs, and I feel incredible. But don't say any of this, lest you think wildly, for this is a matter of faith in the king, and I will not ask any questions. ”

In fact, the king of faith is a vassal domain, although what this brother did made the Emperor of the Apocalypse furious, but after a long time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse also missed it.

After all, he is still a brother, he is a person who is easy to be soft-hearted, and at this time, he is also worried that King Xin will not have a good time in the domain, and he is worried that the rogue has entered Guide.

Now that I heard the good news, I was relieved.

Huang Liji coughed embarrassedly: "There is another thing, that is, in Jiangnan, there is a town guard eunuch who exploits the merchants, saying that they want to pay the commercial tax, but the merchants are very disturbed and have a dispute with the town guard eunuch, so the town guard eunuch took the market to invade the door. All of a sudden, public opinion was turbulent, and the local people were also furious, and in Songjiang Mansion, some people tied up the cavalry of the Jinyi Guard and the minions of the eunuchs who guarded the town, and threw them into the river, drowning six people. This is the report of the prefect of Matsue......"

After that, Huang Liji took out a copy of the note and sent it to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

After the Emperor of the Apocalypse saw it, he was immediately furious: "The eunuch guarding the town is my Qincha, how dare they do this?" This is no longer an ordinary people, it is clearly a chaotic people, why not immediately suppress it? ”

"Your Majesty." Huang Liji smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid of a bigger mess, so the Nanjing household department still recommends appeasement." This matter is very troublesome in Jiangnan, and many businessmen say that their trading is not very profitable, and they can't earn a few silver all year round, and the eunuchs in the town are very heavy, and they are really unbearable. This sadness of doing business is not enough for outsiders. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was angry, and said, "So what do you think?" ”

"The ministers have read the texts about various places, and most of them ...... It's still a ...... that is biased towards the people."

Emperor Apocalypse said: "How can it be the common people who dare to throw the cavalry and the eunuchs into the river and drown?" ”

"Your Majesty......" Huang Liji said: "The minister doesn't know much about the situation in Jiangnan, and the minister is a native of Beizhili......"

Huang Liji paused, and then said: "It's just that no matter who these people are, now that this incident has happened, in order to prevent provoking a civil uprising, it is better to deal with it carefully!" Otherwise, Guanzhong is already full of rogues, Jiangnan and the imperial court are separated from Germany, and the merchants are being exploited increasingly because of the excesses and miscellaneous taxes, and they are afraid that it will bring hidden dangers. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "Where is the amount of commercial tax I collect, and the merchants accumulate wealth, can't they pay this tax?" ”

"This ......," Huang Liji was speechless for a while.

To be honest, Beizhili has no tradition of doing business, so I really don't know what this thing is, it's not that Huang Liji doesn't know anything about it, but after all, ...... He had no contact with business, but had only heard some rumors and newspapers from all over the world, and with this, he did not dare to talk nonsense.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said angrily: "I will order Wei Banban to investigate this matter thoroughly, and then deal with it as appropriate." ”

As he was speaking, the Emperor of the Apocalypse became impatient: "If there is nothing to do, let's retire." ”

While he said, he muttered, he can't even pay taxes in business, what kind of business is he going to do? Is it really that hard?

When all the ministers were gone, the distraught Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but ask Wei Zhongxian: "Why is there no news from the Chengguo Mansion yet?" ”

"This ......"

Wei Zhongxian also felt that he was very embarrassed, he didn't know how many times he had been asked by His Majesty today.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was a little anxious: "He Deng Jian is not doing well, I have to count it myself!" ”

Saying that, he put his hands behind his back angrily, and today's deliberations made the Emperor of the Apocalypse unhappy, and he was angry.

At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't wait, and went straight out of the hall: "Come on, I want to arrest Zhang Qing and Deng Jian to see how lazy they are." ”

So the Emperor of the Apocalypse went to the outside of the Chengguo Mansion in a hurry.

At this time, the streets here were blocked, and Wei Zhongxian took the lead and whispered a few words to those lieutenants before letting them go.

When the sedan chair of the Emperor of the Apocalypse entered the mansion, he saw three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and Wei Zhongxian said in a low voice on the side: "Your Majesty, Brother Zhang is inside, it seems that he is not lazy." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded, hurried to the back garden, and saw that he was about to enter a moon cave, but saw someone hurriedly coming out inside, Zhang Jingyi was the leader, and Deng Jian followed step by step.

Zhang Jingyi hurriedly saluted and said: "The minister has seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here, why don't you say hello, so that the minister can greet you." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said impatiently: "Why are the thousands of households in Xinxian County so abrasive? Teach me to wait...... That's a lot of silver, and it took so much time, but it's only a million ......."

But at this time, Zhang Jingyi replied: "Your Majesty, what you have counted for the time being is three million or two taels of silver. ”
