Chapter 61: Chen Changfeng, I won't let you go

The long wind article is here, and the light is long.

I don't know if the crowd is stupid, so I slander and hurt it.

The grasshopper shakes the tree, which is ridiculous.

Before Iyugo, he raised his neck and looked at each other from afar.

The meaning of this poem is not difficult to understand.

is talking about his Chen Changfeng's poems are brilliant, and Du Baifu, a stupid child, actually wants to slander Chen Changfeng by means.

It's like a mayfly shaking a tree, and it doesn't measure itself.

Du Baifu was born before Chen Changfeng, but he could only stretch his neck to look, far from reaching Chen Changfeng's level.

The Ming monarchs and ministers understood it, and the people of the Great Chu Mission also understood it in their hearts.

No one dared to argue with it.

In such a little time, Chen Changfeng composed thirty-one poems in a row, no, thirty-two poems.

has far surpassed Du Baifu's so-called poetic immortal.

As for what Du Baifu said before, a batch of poems were stolen from his home, and it is suspected that Chen Changfeng dried them, and everyone knows that Du Baifu just can't afford to lose!

Xiang Qingqing wiped his tears and was about to say something, but suddenly saw Du Baifu spit out a mouthful of blood on the poem that Chen Changfeng gave him.

Du Baifu pointed at Chen Changfeng with his right hand, and then passed out.

"Haha, self-inflicted."

"Don't be ashamed of the old thing, and dare to question the level of our Royal Highness the Prince of the Ming Dynasty."

"I think the old thing is pretending to be dizzy."

In the face of the ridicule of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, Xiang Qingqing's tears, which had already stopped, fell down again at this moment.

For this competition, how much effort did they put into the Great Chu Empire.

Among these people who came, which one was not the elite of her Dachu.

It's hateful, Wu Dou Wenbi, they Da Chu didn't win once.

also lost to Chen Changfeng alone.

Fighting the entire elite of the Great Chu Mission alone, Xiang Qingqing really lost at this moment and burst into tears.

"Haha, why are the third princesses still crying, this time my Da Ming and Da Chu competition, it was my Da Ming who won, the third princess has no opinion." The emperor said with a smile.

The emperor didn't care if Xiang Qingqing cried or not.

He knew that this competition was won by his Ming Empire.

According to the agreement, the Great Chu Empire wants to return all the thirteen cities of Daming South County that it took last year.

Xiang Qingqing didn't make a sound, both eyes staring at Chen Changfeng.

If it weren't for him, how could he have lost a lot.

When you go back to Dachu by yourself, you must explain this matter to the emperor.

Chen Changfeng, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, must not let him live!

Chen Changfeng glanced at Xiang Qingqing and saw that she was staring at him with hatred.

Chen Changfeng didn't care, his performance in the past two days was just to completely stabilize his position as the crown prince.

As for the rest, we will have to think about it later.

"When the time comes, the Ming Emperor can send someone to take the thirteen cities of Nanjun."

"Chen Changfeng, I won't let you go." Xiang Qingqing wiped his tears, and after leaving a vicious word with Chen Changfeng, he turned around and left with the people of the Great Chu Mission.

There was laughter and laughter in the Tai Chi Hall.

Everyone didn't expect that Da Chu, known as the holy land of the world's altar, was defeated in the hands of the Ming Empire and Chen Changfeng alone.

"Changfeng, you prince, I really didn't read it wrong, it's good!" The emperor walked up to Chen Changfeng and patted Chen Changfeng's shoulder with a look of relief.

"That father, don't just say these polite words, if the father is happy, it is good to reward his sons with a few million taels of silver." Chen Changfeng and the emperor spoke.

The emperor's face was slightly stagnant.

This kid asked for benefits from himself in front of so many people, and if he refused, I am afraid it would not be good.

Moreover, today Chen Changfeng has indeed made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty.

If there is no reward at all, what if the little rabbit cub does not do anything in the future?

But a few million taels, Chen Changfeng, this kid, really dares to speak.

How much is the tax revenue of Daming in a year?

"Where is the book of the household?" The emperor shouted to the courtiers in front of him.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here." An old minister came out and bowed to the emperor.

"You tell the crown prince how much tax the treasury collects in a year, and how much is left in the treasury now?" The emperor's gaze fell on Tobe Shangshu.

"Back to Your Majesty, the treasury has collected 15,130,000 taels of tax this year, and now there are 110,000 ......taels left."

"What?"

These words were not shouted by Chen Changfeng.

It came from the mouth of the emperor.

The emperor could not have imagined that it was only September now, and there were still three months left before the end of the year.

Of the fifteen million and 130,000 tax revenues from the treasury, only 110,000 taels remained.

Isn't that?

The Emperor even suspected that he had misheard.

Where did the fifteen million taels of silver go?

This year, the emperor did not give any order for large-scale construction at all.

Not even a locust plague occurred, and no money was sent out for disaster relief.

So where did the money go?

Corruption, absolute corruption!

The Emperor twisted his fists and returned to the dragon chair in a rage.

If it weren't for Chen Changfeng suddenly asking for a reward from him, he, the emperor, wouldn't know that he hadn't done anything this year, and the treasury would have run out of money!

It's so ruthless.

You bastards really dare!

"Hubu Shangshu, I ask you, is there any corruption in the use of fifteen million taels of silver?" The emperor's face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of fierceness.

The emperor had been thinking that while there was no locust plague this year, all the funds in the Ming treasury would be retained except for some necessary expenses this year.

In this way, after two or three years, the Ming treasury can also save a good sum.

Even if the Thirteen Cities of Nanjun can't be taken back in a short time, as long as the Ming Empire works hard and accumulates strength, it will be able to get it back sooner or later.

For this goal, he, the emperor, only eats two dishes every day in the palace.

Sometimes I eat the leftover vegetables at night, and I also told Liu Xi not to pour them, and to save them until the next morning to drink porridge.

This saves a fortune.

Nine months have passed this year, and the emperor has not even let him make a new garment.

The socks are all bare toes.

But now the head of the household department told himself that the Ming tax of 15 million taels was only 110,000 taels.

All right.

Very good!

The emperor was praising these Ming officials in front of him at the moment.

The first emperor rectified corruption, and those who dared to be greedy for ten taels of silver were stripped of skin and filled with grass.

The emperor felt that the Ming officials were also a little bitter in the hands of the first emperor, so he turned a blind eye.

What now?

His emperor did not turn a blind eye, but was regarded as a blind man by these courtiers in front of him.

"Your Majesty, all the discrepancies in and out of the household department are recorded, and the minister assures that there is absolutely no corruption." Tobe Shangshu plopped and knelt on the ground.

Of course, the emperor knew that no one would admit to asking such a question.

But this year, the corruption is too serious.

In the past, when there was no disaster in the Ming Empire every year, it would cost a maximum of five million taels of silver.

But this year, it cost fifteen million taels.

If no one stretched out his hand, the emperor would never believe it.

Check, be sure to check!

I am frugal and want to make a comeback, but these bastards are digging the blood of Daming behind their backs.

"This is what you said, if I find out that someone is corrupt, I will follow the example of the first emperor and fill in the grass for you." The emperor's face was grim, and his eyes were full of fierceness.

"Father, the sons are willing to share their father's worries and find out about this matter."

"If someone is really corrupt, the sons will never tolerate it." The second prince immediately walked out and said to the emperor.

"You?" The emperor looked at the second prince with a deep gaze.
