Chapter 12: The Four Masters of the Kyoto Division
"Yes."
Tong Guan Soul God Meeting. Those who bribed the Han family were all rich and wealthy.
The disaster relief money has been settled.
"What's your name?" Chen Xiao was in a good mood and asked the right waiter of the household.
"Humble King Zhenji."
"From now on, you will be the head of the household."
Chen Xiao said indifferently:
"Well done, I'll keep you on the rise. But if there is a mistake, you know what to do. ”
"Huh?!"
Wang Zhenji was surprised and a little flustered.
From the third in command of the household department to the top of the first place, it seems that only half a step has been raised.
From deputy to the head of the six departments of the empire, many people will not be able to advance in their lives.
It can be said that opportunities are hard to come by.
The problem is that from then on, he was bound to the prince, and he was both prosperous and lossy.
An Yuanshan must be eliminated quickly.
"Why, Lord Wang is unwilling?"
In Chen Xiao's words, the smell of danger came to his face.
"Your Highness!"
Wang Zhenji didn't say a word, his knees hit the ground, his calves and palms were close to the ground, and he knelt down on the ground:
"The prince is a thousand years old, and the minister is willing to go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not give up."
Chen Xiao smiled.
Wang Zhenji is a talent.
"Your Highness."
Wang Zhenji wanted to speak and stopped:
"Wei Chen has seen His Royal Highness's resolute and resolute methods, and he has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not."
"If you have something to say, what a bend." Chen Xiao glared at him unhappily.
"Yes, yes."
王贞吉 says:
"Weichen total, now the price of rice in the capital alone has skyrocketed, and the price of rice has risen to five taels of silver per stone, which is more than ten times higher than usual. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the emperor of Cangzhou Tiangao is far away, and it is conceivable that it will only raise the price of grain higher. ”
"Now that the treasury is empty, the millions of refugees in Cangzhou need at least a million stones of grain to calm down. That's at least five million silver. ”
As a high-ranking bureaucrat in the household department, he was in charge of money, grain, and salt for many years.
Wang Zhenji is familiar with the accounts:
"That Han Guanghong, as a second-grade prime minister, has only seized one million taels of silver, even if that one is added, that Tian Yunguang must not exceed two million taels, which is far from enough!"
After joining Chen Xiao with an iron heart, Wang Zhenji was no longer polite and called his former boss by name.
Chen Xiao was shocked when he heard it, and the startled wood snapped:
"In the capital of the city, the profiteers dare to be so rampant, and I am afraid that someone will instigate them behind them."
"Since the disaster relief money is not enough, those black-hearted grain merchants who don't want their lives want to make a fortune for the country. Killing one alone is killing, and killing ten people is also killing, so it is better to fulfill them. ”
Wang Zhenji suggested: "Your Highness can order the grain merchant to spit out the black money that he eats, otherwise..."
Chen Hao's face was gloomy and terrifying:
"The country is in turmoil, this group of moths still doesn't know how to harm the livelihood of many people, just spit out profits, and think that it is far from enough!"
"Tell me what I say. Let's just say that there is a great drought in Cangzhou, and millions of people are in danger, and they need to donate money from grain merchants in Beijing. Afterwards, give me statistics, less than their embezzlement of profits, all of them will be raided, and the family property will be confiscated! ”
Zhao Zhenji's spine was cold: "Obey the order." ”
The prince's hand of fishing law enforcement could not be more ruthless.
In the evening of the same day.
In the name of the crown prince, Wang Zhenji urgently summoned the merchants led by the four wealthy merchants of Jingshi.
They were asked to donate food to the imperial court to tide over the difficulties.
The result was as Chen Xiao expected.
The four families headed by Zhang, Li, Qin, and Song not only didn't realize the last chance that Chen Xiao gave them.
On the contrary, they all cried and cried out for injustice.
Wang Zhenji said that in the middle of the night, each family reluctantly donated 10,000 silver.
"If they are unkind, don't blame them for being unjust."
Chen Xiao was not surprised when he learned about it.
For the sake of profit, these lawless guys did not hesitate to sell their guillotine rope for a copper plate.
Just tomorrow, I saw another bloody day.
Dashun Jingshi Mansion Yin, Sun Chou, quietly stepped into the mansion of Prime Minister An Yuanshan.
"Enxiang, the prince is aggressive, the situation is not right."
As the governor in charge of the administration of the capital, he is high-powered and well-informed.
Sun Chou couldn't sit still. I had to take the risk of seeing my mentor:
"Last time, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, I stabbed to death the second prime minister Han Guanghong. Today, he killed Tian Yunguang in the household yamen. Killing people is not enough, this highness will raid the house and destroy the door! There is no decent rules at all. And so on. It will chill the palace staff! ”
Sun Chou burst into tears.
Half a day.
An Yuanshan, who was silent, said in a deep voice:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has indeed gone too far this time."
Sun Chou hurriedly said:
"Yes, even the second-prime minister Han family has been scraped to the bottom. He also made an appointment to meet with the four major merchants of Beijing, but he didn't know what kind of calculation he was playing? ”
"Humph!"
An Yuanshan paced back and forth in the hall with a calm face:
"It's not obvious yet? He came to plan for disaster relief. The four major merchants don't matter, kill them. can kill the household department Shangshu Tian Yunguang, which makes the prime minister really jealous. ”
"The students don't understand."
"Tian Yunguang holds the real power of the household department, and he is really my henchman, and Han Guanghong can't compare."
Han Guanghong's name is the second minister. The status is respected, but in fact, he is just a horse boy next to An Yuanshan, and he has no real power.
So when An Yuanshan pushed him out, he was treated as a stone to ask for directions, and if he died, he died.
Tian Yunguang is different, don't look at it as just three products, but he has been working in the household department for more than ten years, cultivating cronies.
A real powerhouse.
was inexplicably slaughtered by Chen Xiao.
An Yuanshan felt a chill in his heart for a while.
"So what are we going to do?" Sun Chou hurriedly asked:
"It's better to join forces with hundreds of officials to start the emperor and ask him to take back his fate."
"No, the prince has the righteous reputation of supervising the country, and killing Han Tian and the others, although they are brutal and unkind, it is excessive, and they have not broken the bottom line. What's more, the situation in the palace is a little unpredictable now. ”
Chen Xiao went on a killing spree in the palace, purging dissidents, and installing cronies everywhere.
Not only did he not communicate with Donggong's niece An Rushui.
On the side of the six princes of the noble concubines, the situation is also not good.
An Yuanshan also had to admit it.
Chen Xiao's methods are ruthless, and they do have excellent results in a short period of time.
Don't do what you're not sure about.
An Yuanshan shook his head:
"Patience! Wait for him to make a mistake..."
"If he doesn't make a mistake, you secretly want to help him make a mistake."
Sun Chou's eyes lit up:
"What do you mean..."
"Now that you know what the prince wants to do, what should you do? Isn't that clear? ”
An Yuanshan walked away slowly, leaving Fu Yin with a back:
"In three months, he couldn't do anything. That's enough. ”
Sun Chou stayed where he was, revealing a sudden expression.
Kill Han Guanghong, Tian Yunguang, Chen Xiaoshi is famous.
It's really hard to knock down the front.
But down there, the court and the people have been in business for many years, and they are full of people who want the prince to be unable to do things.
Or is it a matter of getting caught?
