Chapter 509 Ming Kangdi's Stunned, What is the purpose?
"Your Majesty, there is a secret report!"
In Daming Palace, Dai Quan hurriedly walked in from the outside with small steps.
When Emperor Ming heard Dai Quan's words, he didn't seem to hear them, and he didn't raise his head to look at him until he finished approving the folds on the eucalyptus.
"Say it! What's the matter?"
Dai Quan bowed his hand and spoke respectfully.
"Emperor Qiyu, Chunhualou, Wu Zongshan, and several princes of the Xue family were tied up, and the Rongguo Mansion sent someone to Shuntian Mansion to report it, and Lord Yin couldn't figure out how to deal with this matter, so he sent someone over quickly, begging the emperor to show him!"
When Ming Kangdi heard this, he snorted.
"This group of bastards, who don't study well all day long, go all the way to Goolan and Washer, and now they kidnap people, don't you take me and the court in your eyes?"
Ming Kangdi's tone was urgent, but then his brows couldn't help but furrow again.
"Who is Xue Pan, why is the Rongguo Mansion involved in this matter again??"
As the head of a country, he has no time to memorize the name of a small character, so he has no impression of who Xue Pan is.
Thinking about it, Ming Kangdi had dealt with each other before, but now he has no impression at all.
Emperor Ming Kangdi can forget, but Dai Quan, who is the eunuch in charge of the Daming Palace, cannot.
Hearing Emperor Ming's question, Dai Quan organized his language and spoke again: "Back to the emperor, Xue Pan is the son-in-law of the Xue family, the ancestor of the Xue family led the scattered officials of the Ziwei family, and later married the Wang family, the Jia family, and the Shi family.
In just three or two sentences, Dai Quan listed the important information of Xue Pan, as well as the relationship between the Xue family and the Jia family, the Wang family, and the Shi family.
Hearing this, Ming Kangdi has generally understood.
As for the disposal of things, Emperor Ming Kangdi didn't pay attention to most of them, and there were more people who were disposed of by him, so could he still write them down one by one?
"Why did those little rabbit cubs tie up Xue Pan??"
Emperor Ming Kangdi was also not polite, and bluntly said that Wu Zongshan was a few little rabbit cubs.
Dai Quan didn't know about this problem, and Fu Yin didn't say the specific reason, because they didn't know either, but when Emperor Ming Kangdi asked, he couldn't help but say it.
So after thinking about it, he continued: "Back to the emperor, I heard that several princes are short of money, and they want to ask the Xue family for silver!"
Emperor Ming Kangdi was stunned for a moment, and didn't seem to believe it, so he couldn't help but raise his head again to look at Dai Quan.
"Want money??"
For this answer, Ming Kangdi's expression is as strange as it is, those people are the masters who are short of money.
"The Xue family is rich? How is it compared to the Zhen family in Jiangnan?"
After a while, Emperor Ming suddenly asked.
But this time the question was not whether Dai Quan was mistaken, but such a strange question.
Dai Quan thought about it, but he wasn't quite sure.
He has dealt with the Xue family, and he doesn't know how much the Xue family has, but if it is compared with the Zhen family, it will be a small matter, and the Zhen family is a rich country in Jiangnan.
No matter how rich the Xue family is, it is impossible to compare with the Zhen family.
"Back to the emperor, how can the Xue family be on a par with the Zhen family! In this generation, the Xue family is actually in decline, the only male in the family is Xue Pan, and he is an idle person, even if the Xue family still has some surplus wealth, it must not last long."
Ming Kangdi heard Dai Quan's words and nodded.
Then he casually asked, "How much silver did those people ask for from the Xue family?"
Dai Quan didn't dare to hide it and told the truth.
"100,000 taels!"
"How much??"
Emperor Ming Kangdi was really stunned this time, good guy, this opening is 100,000 taels, which is more atmospheric than the imperial court, and he has a piece of money here, about the Ministry of Industry, saying that it is going to be given to Emperor Taikang
To build a mausoleum, the household department needs to allocate funds, and the first phase requires 50,000 taels of silver.
The household department was stunned and didn't give it.,For this reason, I also made trouble here.,It's a small report on the discount!
Now is the time when the court is in difficulty, let alone 100,000 taels, just say 30,000 taels, 20,000 taels, he doesn't dislike it.
"Dai Quan, didn't you say that the Xue family is inferior to the Zhen family? It costs 100,000 taels to tie up someone??"
When Dai Quan heard Emperor Ming's words, he couldn't help but feel a thrill in his heart.
At this time, he suddenly remembered that the situation in the imperial court was difficult now, and Emperor Ming Kangdi was worried about the treasury these days!
In fact, the Xue family is not as good as the Zhen family, Lin Ruhai led people to loot the Zhen family, and the silver even exceeded 10 million. Isn't the Xue family's 108,000 yuan just too late?
However, at this time and at that time, the Zhen family has collapsed, and the army has been mobilized for disaster relief for many years, spending money is like flowing water, and the treasury has no time to replenish it, and now it is unsustainable.
That's why the household department made this decision and temporarily withheld the money for the construction of the mausoleum.
"Your Majesty, why don't we pick everyone up?"
After a moment's hesitation, Dai Quan spoke again.
When Emperor Ming heard Dai Quan's suggestion, his eyes couldn't help narrowing.
These people have long hands! Once he imprisons them, the forces behind them will inevitably move, according to his own estimates, if things are really as he thinks, I am afraid that this alone will have hundreds of thousands of taels of income.
But this matter is a little unrealistic.
Moreover, such a thing cannot set a precedent. After thinking about it, Ming Kangdi suppressed this tempting idea.
And he also began to think about the true intention of Wu Zongshan's move.
Whether those people are short of money or not, he knows in his heart, they must be lacking, just like now, even he is short of silver, there are too many things that Dakang needs to do up and down, disaster relief, counterinsurgency, farming, everything has to use silver.
But this amount of silver is not a small amount, nor is it a big hole that can be plugged by a few hundred thousand taels, and the four vassal kings are probably the same, and the predicament they encounter is no less than his own, so he guesses that asking for silver money is not the real intention of these people.
If the Jia family has anything to covet them, there is nothing to think about it, and the Xue family, the Jia family, the Wang family, and the Shi family are in the same breath, and they offended four powerful families at once, and they should not be so nonsense.
Further, Emperor Ming Kangdi thought of Lin Ruhai again, and now Lin Ruhai is the cabinet chief, and his position of power is not the same as before, if he wants to take the opportunity to win him over, it seems to be a good thing.
However, there is another problem, Lin Ruhai is his confidant, this matter is known to the civil and military of the whole dynasty, if these people had not been kicked by the donkey, they should not be stupid to win over such a person.
"This ......"
