Chapter 309: It's a showdown

Xu Hongji couldn't hold back his desires.

At the moment, he said: "Gao Ge Lao, you also know that our Xu family has a large population, so the expenses are large, and it is really difficult to maintain a life just by relying on a little money from the imperial court. ”

Gao Hongtu said: "Wei Guogong, if you have something to say, please say it directly." ”

"Okay, my father will say it directly." Xu Hongji said in a deep voice, "My Xu family wants half of the shares of the Shiyi Institute and the Daming Royal Silver Number, this request is not excessive, right?" ”

Xu Hongji is even more greedy than his younger brother Xu Yaoji.

Xu Yaoji just wants half of the shares of Shiyi.

Xu Hongji still wants half of the shares of Daming Royal Silver.

"What did you say?" Gao Hongtu's face collapsed suddenly.

This is too much, you Xu family will take away half of the shares of Daming Royal Silver and Shiyi Exchange, how can we distribute the remaining benefits?

Xu Hongji is actually a little weak-hearted.

Seeing Gao Hongtu's face down, he immediately changed his words: "If Gao Ge Lao thinks it is too much, then reduce it appropriately, but it can't be less than forty percent, forty percent is the bottom line!" ”

"One percent at most!" Gao Hongtu said with a dark face, "A little more is not enough." ”

"What? Ichisei?! Xu Hongji said angrily, "Gao Ge Lao, are you sending a child?" ”

"Wei Guogong, the old man advises you not to be too greedy." Gao Hongtu said in a deep voice, "How many taels of silver are worth of the Daming Royal Silver Number and the Yicheng shares of the Shiyi Exchange, you know better than the old man in your heart." ”

At this point, anyone with a discerning eye can see the value of the Ming Royal Silver Horn and the City Exchange.

According to conservative estimates, the combined value of these two institutions is more than 200 million taels, and one percent of the shares is 20 million taels of silver, which is a huge amount of money, worthy of the annual income of the Ming Dynasty!

[Note: There was a unit of 100 million in the Spring and Autumn Period]

Xu Hongji naturally knows this.

Laughing dryly, Xu Hongji said again: "Then it's thirty percent, and it can't be less." ”

"Thirty percent is impossible!" Gao Hongtu said with a dark face, "At most, one and a half!" ”

Xu Hongji originally wanted to make a counteroffer, but at this moment, Xu Yaoji hurriedly came in and whispered a few words in Xu Hongji's ear, and Xu Hongji's face suddenly changed.

At that moment, Xu Hongji said: "Then according to the meaning of Gao Ge Lao, one and a half shares!" ”

Gao Hongtu wondered what Xu Yaoji said to Xu Hongji, but he didn't ask because he thought that Xu Hongji couldn't tell him.

So Gao Hongtu said: "In this case, please mobilize the Beijing battalion troops to control the various gates in the inner city of Nanjing as soon as possible, and then transfer a brigade of Beijing battalion soldiers to Nangong to stabilize the court situation." ”

Xu Hongji said: "Gao Ge Lao rest assured, the gates of the inner city of Nanjing have long been under the control of the Beijing battalion soldiers, and this prince has already transferred a brigade of the Beijing battalion in the Gongyuan, and he can open to the Nangong with just an order." ”

"Then ask Wei Guogong to transfer troops as soon as possible." Gao Hongtu finished speaking and left.

As soon as Gao Hongtu left with his front foot, Xu Yinjue and Xu Renjue followed with his back foot.

The four brothers, sons and nephews all celebrated the shocking profits obtained by the Xu family.

There is no doubt that after today, the Xu family will become the first wealthy family in the Ming Dynasty.

On the other side, Gao Hongtu, who had returned to the cabinet room, was stomping his feet in chagrin.

Because Gao Hongtu had just returned to the cabinet, he received a message that Liu Kongzhao had successfully disarmed the three thousand iron cavalry under Jin Xuan, and now even if Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, fell to the princelings, the Donglin Party was not afraid!

Because the 20,000 Beijing battalion of Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, is a silver-like wax gun head, it can't beat Caojiang Town at all.

"Damn it!" Gao Hongtu said hatefully, "Sincerity is true, why didn't you send the letter earlier." ”

Li Jinglian said: "Teacher, this matter is actually okay, everything should be talked about after the new monarch ascends the throne." ”

Li Jinglian's implication is that there is no basis for empty words, as long as the new monarch ascends the throne and the overall situation in the court is stable, Gao Hongtu can completely disown it, and when the time comes, Wei Guogong will not take him.

"Well, Yizhou is right." Gao Hongtu admired Li Jinglian more and more.

After a pause, he said: "However, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, let Chengyi Bo also send a brigade of Cao Jiang soldiers to Nangong to shock the court situation." ”

"As it should be."

Jiang Yueguang and others are also in favor.

They still can't believe Xu Hongji.

At that moment, Gao Hongtu sent someone to Caojiang Admiral's Office to transfer troops.

At the beginning of the day, it was expected that Liu Kongzhao had already received the news, and Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang took Zhang Youyu, Lu Daqi and other Donglin Party officials to the Jinluan Hall of Nangong.

This is preparing for a showdown with the princelings.

……

Caojiang Admiral's Office.

More definite news has spread from Yangzhou to Nanjing.

And it was Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who came to report the news.

"The assassin is the Songjiang guerrilla Du Hongyu under the Caojiang Admiral's Office."

"It's just that Du Hongyu didn't use the Jiangjiang pacesetters under his command, but the Haikou who spent a lot of money to hire."

As soon as Li Ruolian's voice fell, Liu Kongzhao immediately said: "Shengshang, Du Hongyu was originally a Haikou in the sea off Songjiang, who made a living by plundering passing merchant ships all the year round, and was not recruited by the minister to be included in the account of the Caojiang Governor's Office until two years ago, and received the Songjiang guerrillas, and he has never done evil since then. ”

"On the contrary, they wiped out a lot of pirates."

"Dahai Kou Gu San Mazi has suffered a lot of losses under him."

After a pause, Liu Kongzhao said again: "This person can be regarded as a fierce general. ”

Chongzhen smiled, and suddenly asked, "Last time, he pretended to be a river master near Dantu and robbed the Zhan family's caravan by pretending to be a river master, right?" ”

"Gah?" Liu Kongzhao was stupid there.

Chongzhen asked again: "And the group of pirates who 'colluded' with Zhan Yangzhi and Ma Mingluo was captured by Du Hongyu from the sea off Songjiang, right?" Those are Gu San Mazi's people, right? ”

"This, Holy Lord, ...... minister" Liu Kongzhao was scared out of cold sweat.

Chongzhen said again: "But I also know that these have nothing to do with you. ”

"My Emperor Shengming!" Liu Kongzhao almost cried out, Holy Lord, you are scared to death.

Li Ruolian on the other side said: "Du Hongyu is very greedy for money, and once borrowed a large amount of high-interest printing money from various money banks to hoard bonds, but caught up with the avalanche of bond prices and lost all his money. ”

"That's reasonable, no wonder you don't hesitate to use so many underwater mines to up." Chongzhen nodded and said, "Did you catch this Du Hongyu?" ”

"Got it." Li Ruolian nodded, and then said, "But I bit my tongue and committed suicide." ”

"Killed yourself? It seems that there is still a bit of a wrist. Chongzhen nodded, and said, "But it's such a big thing as killing the monarch, it's impossible for them not to leave a trace, you let me go and investigate, and I will investigate the killing of the monarch to the end!" ”

"Commandment." Li Ruolian solemnly agreed, and Jin Yiwei has been waiting for this sentence for a long time.

After checking to the end, it means that if it involves the murder of the monarch, even the prince can be arrested.

But soon, Chongzhen added: "However, it is only for killing the king!" No infinite expansion! ”

Chongzhen is still very vigilant about the Jinyiwei spy agency, although this spy agency is very useful, but the negative effect is also immeasurable, and the overall disadvantages outweigh the advantages, and sooner or later they will have to be abolished.

The politics of spies has never been able to come to the table, and it is difficult to achieve great things.

As soon as Li Ruolian retreated, Jin Xuan brought an old man in.

Seeing Chongzhen sitting in the middle of the line, the old man was instantly stunned.

"Holy Lord, this person is the old servant of Gao Hongtu, the second assistant of the cabinet." Kim Hyun-yu reported, "On the order of Gao Hongtu, I came to Caojiang Governor's Office to transfer Jiang soldiers to Nangong to maintain the situation in the court. ”

"It seems that this drama is about to enter the climax stage."

After Chongzhen finished speaking, he got up, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go to the play." ”

……

At this time, on the Jinluan Hall in Nangong, the two sides had already had a showdown.

"Gao Hongtu!" Shi Kefa was so angry that he couldn't help but scream, "Could it be that you really want to learn from Dong Zhuo, but you are good at abolishing the establishment of a minister in the position of a minister?" ”

"Old Scott's words are fallacious." Gao Hongtu said.

"First Emperor, we will choose one of the princes to inherit the great treasure, how can we abolish it?"

Lu Zhenfei said angrily: "When the first emperor was still alive, there was a prince, and now the first emperor is a dream, and he should support the crown prince to succeed to the throne, but Gao Ge Lao changed the establishment of the Yongwang for his own selfishness, what is the difference between this move and the abolition of the throne?" ”

"Shut up!" Gao Hongtu was also furious, "The old man has said many times to you, although the first emperor has a prince, but the prince and the king are far away in Xuzhou, and I can't be without a king for a day, so I have to support the Yongwang, and the Yongwang is also the son of the first emperor, so why not inherit the throne?" ”

Meng Zhaoxiang was also furious and said: "Gao Ge Lao's move is really a big rebellion, the national law is intolerable, and the etiquette law is also intolerable!" ”

"The old man's move is for me to be forever solid, and I can learn from this heart every day!" Gao Hongtu waved his hand at the blue sky outside the hall and said, "I advise you, don't make mistakes!" ”

"Gao Hongtu, what do you want to do?" Shi Kefa rebuked bitterly, "Could it be that you still want to kill people?" ”

"For the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the sake of the Zongmiao Society, why does the old man have to bear the infamy?" Gao Hongtu's expression cooled, his gaze swept over the officials standing under His Highness, and said, "If anyone objects again......

"Gao Hongtu!" Lu Zhenfei shouted, "Aren't you afraid of leaving a stench for 10,000 years?" ”

"Lu Zhenfei, it's not up to you to judge the merits and demerits." Gao Hongtu said solemnly, "What the old man does today will be evaluated in the history books in the future." ”

After saying this, Gao Hongtu waved his hand again and said, "Someone!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a large group of Beijing soldiers swarmed into the Jinluan Hall with waist knives and spears.

Seeing this, Xie Xuelong also scolded loudly: "Gao Hongtu, it seems that you really want to learn from Dong Zhuo!" ”

"The old man said, for the sake of the eternal stability of the Ming Dynasty, why not regret personal reputation." Gao Hongtu paused, and said sharply, "The old man will ask you again now, do you support King Yong's succession or the crown prince's succession?" ”
