Chapter 184: The Great Dynasty Battle II

"Xia Jiayu, where did the old man offend you?"

Xia Jiayu was neither humble nor arrogant: "Henan political envoy Guo Shangyou wrote a few days ago to ask for the post of political envoy, according to the lower officials, Guo Shangyou is interested in the post of governor of Shanxi, and coincidentally, this Guo Shangyou and Lord Wei are the same year, if according to Chen Yushi's words, the current Lord Wei is also suspected of favoritism, in order to make the scholar innocent, the lower official implored the saint to investigate the matter. ”

Chen Cao sighed that he and the two old guys talked about it for less than an hour last night, and now the two people above the dynasty are so strategic, the Donglin Party is the Donglin Party, and the means are so clever.

The scene in front of him has made the eunuch party no longer beneficial, and if it continues to be entangled, there will definitely be no result.

How do you know that Zhao Nanxing still hasn't let go, so he immediately asked Wei Zhongxian: "Father-in-law Wei, today is the last dynasty of the year, why doesn't the saint come to the court and let you ask the celebrant to ask about things?" ”

Wei Zhongxian was immediately displeased, his power can be said to be in the middle of the day now, where can he stand such stimulation, so he said without yin or yang: "Lord Zhao, the emperor was infected with a cold a few days ago, and this morning he was served by the queen mother and drank medicine to sleep, and it has been cold recently, and the wind can't blow, I don't know what Lord Zhao's intentions are?" ”

When it came to the emperor's safety, Zhao Nanxing was bored and was pushed back, and he was not stunned at all: "Since this is the case, there is no need for the court, what is the matter of the hundred officials to send a document directly to the General Administration, and the Duke of Wei directly approved the red..."

"Zhao Nanxing..."Wei Zhongxian said word by word, he was eager to eat Zhao Nanxing now.

Seeing this, Gao Panlong also sarcastically said: "A group of young people in the DPRK and China are trying in vain to control the government, do you really think that people with lofty ideals such as us can't put things on the show?" ”

At present, there is no need to continue the stalemate, it is not beneficial to the two gangs, the original plan was to use this incident to rectify Zhao Nanxing and Gao Panlong from power, but I didn't expect it to be over.

Wei Zhongxian took a deep breath, he wanted to know what was going on, his subordinates Wei Guangwei and Gu Bingqian's painstaking plan was actually caught off guard by the opponent, it was obvious that Lao Wei himself knew that the two old horsemen must have gotten the news a long time ago, otherwise they wouldn't have been so sudden.

Because with his understanding of the urine nature of these sub-civil officials, as long as Chen Jiuchou comes out, plus one or two hundred Donglin Party insiders who have surrendered to Chengcheng, Zhao Nanxing will step down, and Gao Panlong, who is like a fart, will also resign, where will it be today's situation?

"Okay, don't make any noise, let's stop this matter, now that the country is worried about internal and external troubles, you should still devote yourself to national affairs, disperse..."

The eunuch faction is a little stupid, but it is Zhao Nanxing and Gao Panlong who really feel lucky, if it weren't for Chen Cao's late night to report the news, both of them would definitely have resigned today.

When the two turned to leave, they both glanced at Chen Cao, who was standing in place, and left quietly.

Chen Cao waited for Wei Zhongxian to summon him, and when the officials were almost gone, a small eunuch squeezed in front of Chen Cao: "Dingwu Hou, Your Majesty announced that you will go to Nanyuan." ”

The road in Xiyuan is very familiar, after all, I have been there once.

When Chen Cao arrived, Wei Zhongxian was also waiting outside the door of the Yingtai Hall, but when Chen Cao stepped forward to say hello to Wei Zhongxian, Boss Wei's face was very bad.

Wei Zhongxian looked Chen Cao up and down, and then sneered: "Chen Cao... The wings are stiff..."

Chen Cao knew it in his heart, but he didn't dare to go against Wei Zhongxian, so he hurriedly bowed down and gave his hand: "My subordinates are panicking, please solve my doubts..."

"Our family doesn't have the ability to solve your doubts in the future, since you have taken the path of Mrs. Fengsheng, you don't need to do anything for our family anymore..."

Wei Zhongxian learned that Chen Cao took the line of the Hakka family or before the Great Dynasty, just now when he came to Xiyuan, he also met the Hakka family at the door, the two uneducated soil buns did not know how to hide it at all, and even put Chen Cao's matter on the bright side and said that after the Hakka family went in, he also said that Wei Zhongxian would not fix Chen Cao.

So Boss Wei is angry at the moment, Chen Cao was worried about overturning this guy's high blood pressure, and hurriedly gave up: "The Duke misunderstood, Mrs. Fengsheng and the Duke are also all the way..."

"All the way? Hmph..."Wei Zhongxian snorted coldly, when the Hakka clan was attached to it at the beginning, he had to do everything for Wei Zhongxian, and it wasn't until he started physical contact with the emperor that he left Wei Zhongxian behind.

After all, what can a eunuch without manhood do in some ways? Spiritual soothing?

Squeak...

At this time, the door of the palace opened, and the maid went out: "Your Majesty announced that the Marquis of Wu will meet you..."

Chen Cao trotted into the palace gate and knelt down towards Zhu Youxiao, who was on the throne as if nothing had happened: "Minister Chen Cao greets Your Majesty..."

"Chen Cao, get up..."

Zhu Youxiao was in good spirits, he seemed a little refreshed just after finishing his errands, and more importantly, Chen Cao got him money.

"Your Majesty..."

"Aiqing, you have done a good job in the affairs of the Japanese Kingdom..."

Well? What's going on? The ministers of the court shouted and shouted to kill, and the emperor praised himself here, and Chen Cao immediately had his own plans.

"Big companion, hurry up and show Aiqing a seat..."

Wei Zhongxian personally brought the embroidered pier and put it behind Chen Cao with an evil smile: "Dingwu Hou, please sit..."

"Father-in-law Xie Wei..."Chen Cao only sat on half of his buttocks, this is etiquette: "Your Majesty Xie gives you a seat." ”

"How about Aiqing, this trip to the country can be rich?"

Zhu Youxiao couldn't bear it anymore, money was an important thing for him.

Chen Cao arched his hand: "Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, the minister's trip to the Japanese Kingdom has been successful, and the minister is meticulous;

In addition to the annexation of the Ryukyus, the minister had already provoked civil strife in the Wa Kingdom, and it would be quite lucrative to engage in maritime trade with them in the future. ”

"Didn't Aiqing tell me before that they had a silver mountain?"

Zhu Youxiao has a good memory, and he still knows about it.

The matter of Iwami Yinshan is Chen Cao's forbiddenness, so it is naturally impossible to give it to the emperor, and now that Iwami has just fallen into the hands of Toyotomi Hideyori, it will take some time for Song Che to take over Yinshan.

"Your Majesty didn't know anything, and it was only after the minister invaded the Wa Kingdom that he learned that Iwami Silver Mountain had been mined clean, but it was abandoned,"

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao was immediately deflated, and Chen Cao continued: "But Your Majesty rest assured, the minister is not for nothing, this trip to the Japanese Kingdom, the total amount of silver obtained is 10 million taels of silver, as well as precious calligraphy, paintings and antiques, the value is also about 10 million taels." ”

Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he rushed off the throne without caring about etiquette, and squatted in front of Chen Cao by himself.

Seeing this, Chen Cao quickly got up and knelt in front of Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youxiao pulled him up: "Hey, I'm squatting, you sit on the ground, talk quickly..."

Chen Cao glanced at Wei Zhongxian casually, and saw that at this moment, Boss Wei had the heart to kill Chen Cao.

The bastard boy quoted me eleven million taels and the emperor 20 million, thinking that he wanted to swallow the rest for himself.

Just when Wei Zhongxian made up his mind to clean up Chen Cao, Chen Cao had already preemptively reported to Zhu Youxiao.

"The minister first escorted 10 million taels of silver into Beijing, but the goal is too big, and he still needs to hand over some silver to the treasury."

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "It's time to give some silver to the treasury, the people in Shaanxi are getting more and more fierce, Ma Shilong's suppression of bandits is unfavorable, I have already removed him from his post and transferred him back to Yongping, the governor of Shaanxi has been urging the army to pay, and I am also waiting for you for this money..."

"Your Majesty thinks how much is appropriate for the treasury?" As soon as Chen Cao asked, Wei Zhongxian felt bad in his heart.

Really...

"Hmm... Give the treasury four million taels, and keep a snark of their mouths, lest they rise up against you. ”

Chen Cao was shocked, feeling that he was being rectified by Wei Zhongxian, and the emperor didn't know about it?

Chen Cao then made a plan: "Your Majesty doesn't know, today's ministers have been attacked by the ministers once. ”

Wei Zhongxian's heart tightened, and he immediately said loudly: "Emperor, the old slave has also mediated it..."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Zhongxian with unkind eyes: "Companion, Chen Aiqing's matter is a major matter related to me, you want a snack..."

Don't look at Wei Zhongxian's martial arts in the foreign court, but the emperor can end his life and death with a word, so Zhu Youxiao will obey Wei Zhongxian's rectification with a look.

Wei Zhongxian, who lowered his head, glared at Chen Cao hatefully, and then stopped making a sound.

"And what about the rest of the money?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't wait.

Chen Cao deliberately wanted to speak and stopped, Wei Zhongxian saw this, and immediately knew that it was not good, so he took the initiative to speak: "Marquis Dingwu escorted the remaining six million taels of silver to the slave's mansion, and only when the people of the Beizhen Fusi finished counting, they could escort the Internal Affairs Office to the emperor's inner treasury." ”

Wei Zhongxian's reaction was really fast, Chen Cao was about to pit him in this matter, but he didn't expect this old thief to take the initiative to confess, and it seemed that he didn't dare to swallow the silver himself.

Spit out so much money, Wei Zhongxian looked at Chen Cao with an expression of 'you are satisfied', Chen Cao didn't care, since the two sides had torn their faces in front of the door, there was no need to go against the bells and whistles.

Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction after listening: "Well, big companion, count the silver well, I finally have money, and I can also play a big campaign like the grandfather of the temple..."

Just when Zhu Youxiao was alone and obscene, Chen Cao continued: "Your Majesty forgot that there are still 10 million taels of antiques?" ”

Zhu Youxiao reacted suddenly, nodded with a smile and patted Chen Cao's shoulder: "Yes, yes, yes... What are you going to do with it? ”

Chen Cao said seriously: "The minister has already let the people of Jinling deal with it, and after the ten million taels are realized, the minister will order someone to send it to Jingshi..."

"Hahaha..."Zhu Youxiao stood up and laughed loudly, Emperor Wanli has not had so many taxes in his reign for more than forty years, and the internal gold of Wanli is only supported by seven million taels of silver.
