Chapter 51

Fuwang Mansion, a side hall, several wrist arm thick candles illuminate the hall.

Lu Xiangsheng sat in front of the desk and listened to the reports of his subordinates.

"Three thousand brothers, except for the 200 people who stayed in the Fuwang Mansion, the others are all placed in the barracks in the city, and the last general has already arranged night sentries and mobile sentry posts. The brothers were quiet and had all fallen asleep now. Cao Bianjiao took the lead in saying.

Lu Xiangsheng nodded: "Along the way, everyone has worked very hard, and the reward will be sent tomorrow, and there is no need to practice again, and then repair for three days." However, it is necessary to strictly control military discipline, not to disturb the people and harm the people, and the non-commissioned officers must leave the camp in groups of at least five people, ask for leave before leaving, and return to the camp on time. ”

"The last general understood, and the last general went back to the camp." Cao Bianjiao clasped his fists and saluted, turned around and strode away.

"My lord, Commander Xu has made them search most of the Fu Wangfu, and the last general has been leading people to follow, and they have not yet found that they are greedy for ink, this is the list that the last general has written down, please take a look." Li Yanzhi respectfully put a piece of paper in front of Lu Xiangsheng.

"More than 43,000 taels of gold, 1,600,000 taels of silver, more than 3,000 pieces of cloth and silk, five granaries inside and outside the palace, and more than 350,000 stone ...... of grain," Lu Xiangsheng read softly, which recorded most of the property of the Fu Wangfu Mansion that had been counted.

"This is just the property of Fuwangfu, according to the account books copied out of the mansion, in Henan Mansion and the surrounding provinces, the farthest in Huguang, Shandong, there are dozens of Wangzhuang in Fuwangfu, there should be a lot of property in it, Xu Commander is ready to send people to various places to count in a few days." Li Yanzhi explained.

"But ......"

"But what?" Lu Xiangsheng asked casually.

"But my subordinates feel that this property seems to be a little little, King Fu is the Prince of Daming, the favorite son of Lord Wanli back then, and he has been in Luoyang for nearly twenty years, how can he copy out more gold and silver than Wei Zhongxian?"

Li Yanzhi was a little puzzled, although he did not directly participate in the investigation of Wei Zhongxian, Li Yanzhi also heard Zhang Shize's noble children say how much Wei Zhongxian's money was.

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head slightly: "How can it be compared!" Although King Fu is a vassal king, he has no rights, and can only rely on oppressing the people to seize the people's wealth and make money. And Wei Zhongxian's power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and there were not too many people who gave him silver, plus the banknotes, mines and workshops in various parts of the world under the inner government, as well as the silver sent by the businessmen who took refuge in the eunuch party to shelter from the wind and rain, naturally it was not comparable to the idle prince of King Fu! ”

King Fu's money can't compare to Wei Zhongxian, which is surprising to many people, and it makes sense to think about it. However, in Lu Xiangsheng's view, the harm of Fu Wang Zhu Changxun is even greater than that of Wei Zhongxian!

Wei Zhongxian's silver came from the bribes of officials, from the filial piety of merchants from all over the country, from the money customs and mine income, and the relationship with ordinary people was not too big. And every tael of silver and every grain in King Fu's mansion is the people's fat and people's ointment, and it was snatched by King Fu from the people of Henan and even Huguang in Shandong......

Thinking about the journey, the further south you go, the more miserable the people are, that's because the more vassal clans go south. In the territory of Henan Buzheng Division alone, there are five princes of Zhou, Fu, Tang, Lu, and Zheng, and there are hundreds of county kings, plus countless Zhenguo generals, auxiliary generals, Zhenguo lieutenants, auxiliary lieutenants, and the fields in the territory of Henan Buzheng Envoy have long been carved up, and the sum of a province's land may not be enough to support these clans......

The country is full of disasters and difficulties, Jiannu always wants to break through the customs and invade, the people are hungry and waiting to be fed, and the vassal royal clans forcibly occupy a large number of people's fat and people hide in the gorgeous palace to get drunk and dream of death, how unfair this world is!

Fortunately, His Majesty can see the harm of the clan and act decisively, even if the means are not very bright, but for the people of Henan, it is the emperor's grace! At this moment, the mustard in Lu Xiangsheng's heart disappeared without a trace, and there was only respect, and there was a sense of responsibility that followed.

After dealing with the affairs of the army and sending everyone out, Lu Xiangsheng drank a cup of tea and settled down, and began to write a note to the emperor.

At the same time, in another house not far from Lu Xiangsheng in King Fu's Mansion, Xu Xiancun was smiling proudly. Because he got a lot of "incriminating evidence" of the rebellion of King Fu Zhu Changxun.

In half a day, Xu Xiancun led people to search the Fuwang Mansion.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at it closely, Xu Xiancun didn't dare to be greedy for money, but he didn't care very much, the current Xu Xiancun was interested in the future and the saint. As for the silver, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, there are ways to get money, so why bother to take what you shouldn't take against the wind?

The palace was raided during the day, interrogated overnight at night, and various torture instruments were used repeatedly, except for the Fu King Zhu Changxun and the prince Zhu Yousong, many people in the Fu Wang's Mansion were severely tortured, and then got a piece of "criminal evidence" from their mouths, all of which pointed to the Fu King to rebel.

What's more, the letters between Zhu Changxun and other vassal kings were copied from King Fu's mansion, although they were all ordinary greeting letters, but they could also easily climb other vassal kings.

"If things are done carefully, maybe they can pull the king of Zhou and them off the horse, and take down several vassal kings at once, who can do it in the past two hundred years? After this battle, the name of my Jinyi Wei will definitely be in the sky, and no one will dare to underestimate it again! Xu Xiancun laughed.

"Your Excellency is mighty!" His subordinate lieutenant Sun Yunhe hurriedly sent a sycophant.

Sun Yunhe is also a subordinate of Tian Ergeng, and his official position was higher than Xu Xiancun's back then, and his reputation in Jinyiwei was no less than Xu Xiancun's. It's just that Xu Xiancun was born as a martial artist and is the grandson of the commander of the horse, and he is somewhat involved with the royal family, so he was promoted much faster than Sun Yunhe.

In the past, Sun Yunhe was naturally not convinced by Xu Xiancun, but now Xu Xiancun is deeply trusted by the emperor and has become the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

"But my lord, isn't it a little bad that we will offend all the vassal kings of the world if we say this?" Sun Yunhe said again.

Xu Xiancun pursed his lips and said, "So what? We just need to remember that our Jinyi Guard is the minions of the Son of Heaven, and His Majesty will fight wherever he tells us to! As long as you listen to Your Majesty's words, don't talk about idle vassal kings, even the elders don't have to be afraid! ”

Sun Yunhe hurriedly slapped himself: "It's the subordinates who have thought about it, and the adults have atoned for their sins." ”

"Forget it, you're also a kind reminder." Xu Xiancun didn't care.

"Your Majesty wants to train the new army and rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty. But in this world, money is needed everywhere. King Fu has only been in Luoyang for more than ten years, and he has saved so much silver, all of which is obtained by the people of fish and meat. As loyal dogs of His Majesty, we must always think about His Majesty. Xu Xiancun said with emotion.

"You step down first, I want to write a note to Your Majesty and tell you what happened!"
