70. Donate silver (ask for follow-up)
"This ......"
Emperor Chongming frowned, "How can the treasury be so short of silver?" ”
There are less than 300,000 taels of silver left in the dignified treasury, and it is ridiculous to say it.
He intuitively felt that it was this group of civil and military officials who were corrupt.
"How difficult it is for the imperial court."
"But the bandits can't help but suppress them."
"I will donate 100,000 taels of silver from the treasury, and the treasury will give another 100,000 taels of silver, and the remaining Wu Qunchen will raise some more money......"
Emperor Chongming sighed and announced the decree.
The ministers were silent again.
The inner treasury is his private treasury.
The treasury, on the other hand, is the imperial court's.
"Ouyang Aiqing, you are the ...... Zaifu"
"Let's get the money first."
Emperor Chongming stared at Ouyang Zaizhi with burning eyes and said.
"Minister......
"The minister donated five hundred taels."
Ouyang Zai gritted his teeth and planned to donate the coffin.
When the first emperor was still alive, he had already entered the cabinet and became a scholar. After many years, he finally became the head of the cabinet, that is, the position of governor.
At the time of the first emperor, the court was not too chaotic.
So although he has taken bribes, he has not received many bribes.
"Five hundred taels?"
Emperor Chongming narrowed his eyes.
Although Zaifu is expensive, it is not easy to save five hundred taels by relying on Yulu. He had long listened to the secret report of the night patrol that Ouyang Zai lived a luxurious life. Also, the courtiers who can take out 500 taels at will must be corrupt officials in the court.
"I am willing to give a hundred taels ......"
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu made a difficult choice and endured the pain.
"These Qing families are all corrupt officials."
Emperor Chongming kept in mind the officials who had donated a large amount one by one.
Finally, going around and around, it came to Mrs. Han.
"The servant has always been incorruptible ......"
"Just do your best."
Seeing that Han Taifu's face was embarrassed, Emperor Chongming secretly sighed.
He took a closer look at the official robe on Han Sui's body again, it was old and washed, and the Dengyun shoes on his feet were also a pair of old shoes, I don't know how long he had been wearing them.
Concubine Han in the palace was the same, opened a weaving room and sewed clothes by herself.
Occasionally, the silkworm spits out more silk, and Han Guifei will also sell the woven satin to the people to earn some daily expenses.
Both father and daughter are loyal to the country.
He couldn't chill the hearts of his ministers.
"Minister......
"Fifty taels of donation."
Mrs. Han's face ached, and she cried with a sad face.
"Fifty taels?"
Emperor Chongming nodded slightly. ,
With the net worth of Mrs. Han's servant, donating fifty taels is already a lot.
The three princes and nine kings have been donated one by one.
Ouyang Zaizhi's 500 taels is the upper limit of donations, and no one with a lower official position than him can donate higher than Ouyang Zaizhi.
The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and there were more than 100 people standing together.
After this fundraising, Emperor Chongming received 5,000 taels of silver.
"Minister...... I often dream of returning to my hometown recently, and it should be the year of heaven."
"May the beggar bones be gracious, and hope that Your Majesty will grant permission."
Ouyang Zaizhi took a deep breath, stood up, and arched his hand.
With his wisdom, he had already guessed what Emperor Chongming was thinking at this time. He donated five hundred taels of silver, which was too much. There are so many that the emperor is jealous.
But he couldn't afford to give more money.
Once he's out less.
Hundreds of officials followed, and the donation of silver was afraid that it would be even more embarrassing to the court and Emperor Chongming.
If it were other emperors, he would still be able to do it.
But ......, facing Emperor Chongming, he knew that this was his last chance.
If you don't beg for bones, I'm afraid you will end up with Chen Hou.
"Yes!"
Emperor Chongming bowed his head slightly and agreed.
"Minister......
"The minister is willing to beg for bones."
"My father is newly mourned, and I am willing to return to my hometown to keep filial piety for my father."
Several courtiers who noticed that the atmosphere in the court was not right, also resigned one by one.
"Yes!"
Emperor Chongming saw that this was a good opportunity to eliminate moths in the court, so he would not agree.
He nodded his head one by one, and allowed it.
"Wait until these corrupt officials are eliminated......"
"The court, you will be able to make the dynasty right."
He swept the ministers in the palace and thought.
……
Let's take a moment.
Emperor Chongming invited Han Sui and several other high-ranking officials to enter the side hall to discuss important matters.
Big things and small meetings.
Small things to start a meeting.
It has always been so.
As for the decision on Simingshan, it is impossible to make a decision lightly at the court meeting.
"The anti-thief's request ......"
"I think Your Majesty still has to agree."
Han Sui saw the sinister intention of Xu Xing to ask for a reward.
If Emperor Chongming is a Ming monarch, of course he will be outspoken, but Emperor Chongming is a master who is ambitious and talented, and he is stubborn and self-serving, and he also saw Chen Hou's fate just now, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
"Please also ask Han Aiqing to elaborate."
Emperor Chongming threw the pot to Han Sui again.
He wanted to agree to Xu Xing's invitation.
Once agreed, please enjoy the performance, Kansai Road...... It's not a loss of land. His face will be saved. If he does not agree and loses a piece of land, the world will be boiling, and his face will be dull at that time.
After agreeing to the reward, send a large army to cut off these thieves .......
The lid is covered.
But for all he thought, he couldn't say ...... such things.
As soon as he said it, he seemed shameless, and his face was not bright.
"Your Majesty, this ......"
"Wechen is stupid."
Han Sui is also an extremely shrewd figure.
He didn't dare to carry this pot.
If the officers and soldiers are defeated, in order to block the mouth of Youyou, he will only have to die to apologize.
What he said just now, he also had a trace of loyalty in his heart, intending to make Emperor Chongming responsible. After all, this pot, whether it is him or others, can't afford it.
Emperor Chongming's credibility is ......, and he really doesn't dare to make people expect extravagance.
If Emperor Chongming can take on this responsibility, the imperial court still has some hope.
It can make the courtiers see a glimmer of light.
"Your Majesty......"
"Han Guifei boiled egg custard for the emperor in the palace, I wrote a letter just now, asking the emperor to go to her Xuanhua Palace as soon as you go to the court......
Seeing this, Li Enlu, the eunuch with palm prints, relieved Han Sui.
Hearing these three words of Han Guifei, Emperor Chongming's face softened a little, and he looked at Commander Liu, "Hurry up, dare to block Ouyang Aiqing before he goes out, and let Ouyang Aiqing write the national policy." ”
"Difficult ...... the Imperial Court"
"When you die, give him the title of loyalty."
Since Ouyang Zaizhi has enjoyed Guolu for so many years, it is time, and it is his turn to dedicate.
See here.
Although Han Sui and others were relieved, they secretly despised Emperor Chongming in their hearts.
……
Extranerve, according to the horse.
The post is in the south of Shenjing, about 20 kilometers away from Shenjing.
It is the first post station in the south of the lower river.
Ouyang Zai rode an old ox, followed by an old servant.
After that, there was a horse-drawn carriage. The carriage was not dressed in shabby, but it was not luxurious.
"Daddy, why are we leaving Beijing?"
"Why did you suddenly resign?"
The carriage reed curtain was opened by a white plain hand, and the sixteen-year-old girl combed her double bun and poked her head out, "My daughter often hears her father say that she must turn the tide and live up to the kindness of the first emperor, and she should come forward only in a dangerous world, how can she ......, but her father has encountered injustice?" ”
She was of medium appearance, not pretty.
It's just that it has developed a bookish atmosphere, and it looks quite eye-catching.
……
……
PS: There is one more shift, which should be before one o'clock in the morning.
