In the morning, the morning sun has just risen. (Please search for the fastest novel website!) At this time, it was the beginning of the hour, that is, around seven o'clock in the morning.

At this time, many ordinary people may still be sleeping, and Zhu Houzhao and the seven cabinet ministers have already begun to hold cabinet meetings in the Qianqing Palace.

Those who are familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty actually know that although Zhu Houzhao is a person who is indulged in pleasure, he is not a person who does not care about the government. On the contrary, compared with the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, he can be said to be a diligent king. In many cases, even if he did not want to enter the palace to go to the court in the morning, he would ask the celebrant to read his holy decree to the court, or have the person take the recital to the leopard's room for him to review.

The disaster situation in Henan is urgent, and Zhu Houzhao also knows that it cannot be delayed for a long time, and I am afraid that there will be changes if it is delayed for a long time. That's why he summoned seven cabinet ministers to a cabinet meeting in the Qianqing Palace so early in the morning.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao was sitting upright on the dragon chair, and there were five people standing in front of the yellow case, and two people were sitting. The five people standing were Cao Yuan, Liang Chu, Liu Zhong, Fei Hong, and Yang Yiqing. The two people sitting were Jin Gui and Li Dongyang.

The reason why Cao Yuan and the five of them were standing, and Jin Gui and Li Dongyang were sitting, on the surface, was because Jin Gui and Li Dongyang were old, and if the meeting was long, the two of them might not be able to stand for a long time, so the emperor's special seat was regarded as a concern for the old ministers. Of course, everyone actually knows that there is another reason. Jin Gui and Li Dongyang are both old ministers of the former dynasty, one of them is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, known as the Six Ministries, and the other is a cabinet assistant. Letting the two sit is also considered a respect for the identity of the two.

The content of the cabinet meeting was naturally to talk about how to deal with the drought in Henan and how to pay the soldiers at the border gates. At first, Zhu Houzhao did not say Jiang Xia's idea, but asked the seven cabinet members to say a way.

The seven ministers went around and talked for a long time, either they supported the drought first and then the military salary, or they felt that the military should be paid first and then the drought should be helped. Anyway, after talking for a long time, I just couldn't come up with a solution to both worlds.

Seeing that the seven ministers could not come up with a perfect solution, Zhu Houzhao admired Jiang Xia's intelligence even more. He secretly said in his heart, the seven ministers of the cabinet are not even worth the eldest brother alone, if only the eldest brother could enter the court as an official to help me. However, as soon as this idea arose, Zhu Houzhao shook his head again, and immediately added a sentence in his heart: "Forget it, if the eldest brother knows my identity, he will definitely be respectful to me, and things will not be fun at that time." ”

When the seven ministers saw Zhu Houzhao shaking their heads, they thought that Zhu Houzhao was dissatisfied with the seven of them. The seven ministers were startled, and immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "The ministers are incompetent, and I hope Your Majesty will surrender to the crime." ”

Zhu Houzhao was slightly stunned, he immediately understood that the seven ministers had misunderstood. Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Seven Aiqing, please come up, I don't mean to blame." ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. The seven ministers got up, and Li Dongyang and Jin Gui didn't dare to sit in their positions anymore.

Zhu Houzhao said: "The amount of silver that the treasury can mobilize now is 400,000 taels, which is already the limit. ”

Indeed, the treasury now has 400,000 taels of silver, 30,000 taels of gold, and a few coins of copper. After the mobilization of 400,000 taels, I am afraid that even the officials' salaries will have to be delayed, and they can only be made up after the autumn tax revenue comes up.

Zhu Houzhao paused and continued: "The silver is only 400,000 taels, but the disaster relief and salary need 700,000 taels of silver. Where did the remaining 300,000 taels of silver come from? I don't blame you for not coming up with an idea, after all, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

However, I do have a plan, and I will share it for you to refer to and see if it is feasible.

First of all, we must make a time difference and transport 400,000 taels into two parts to Henan and the border pass for emergency purposes, so as to stabilize people's hearts. Then we used the free time to raise the remaining 300,000 taels, and I already had a plan for raising silver, and I decided to leave the matter to the 'Benevolence Society' to deal with. Maybe the Qing family doesn't know what this 'Shanren Society' is, so I'll explain it to you."

Zhu Houzhao basically copied Jiang Xia's plan in a long speech, and the seven cabinet ministers didn't understand what he was about "playing the time difference", and the Shanren Society and the like didn't understand it at all. But they finally understood one thing, that is, the emperor already had a solution to the problem.

What else in this world is happier than the boss proposing a plan and implementing it himself, and the employees taking their wages for nothing and not working? In this way, the ministers naturally could not object, and they saluted Zhu Houzhao one after another: "The emperor is wise!"

After fooling the seven cabinet ministers, Zhu Houzhao was excited, he announced the adjournment of the meeting, and then decided to immediately go to Jiangxia to discuss the matter of raising disaster relief funds.

At this time, at the gate of Xiaoyao Villa, a man in a black collared robe was standing there with a long sword in his arms. The man looked up at the plaque of the Cottage, and after confirming that it was here, he went straight to the gate.

Because Easy Hills is a place with a membership system, there are two teams of guards at the door to check the membership card at all times. I basically know the members who come often, the man is alive, and he also carries weapons. Two teams of guards immediately stopped him.

"Eh, stop! This is a private place, and you are not allowed to enter without a membership card. ”

The man glanced up at the two teams of guards, and he said lightly, "I'm looking for Jiang Xia." ”

After saying that, the man stuffed his head and walked inside.

The two teams of guards took a look, this is okay, even if you are looking for Jiang Ye, you have to wait for us to report it, and it is definitely not good to break in directly. It just so happened that last night the Escape Villa was attacked by another assassin, and it happened that the assassin was using a sword again

The two teams of guards immediately pulled out the long knives on their waists, and the eight of them stood in a row in front of the man in black and said, "Even if you want to see Jiang Ye, you have to wait for us to report, if you want to trespass on the Xiaoyao Mountain Villa, don't blame us." ”

The man in black glanced at the eight people and lightly spit out two words: "Get out." ”

The voice was not loud, but it angered the eight guards at once. "Grandma's, I'm really here to find trouble, looking for death!"

Eight steel knives slashed at the man in black together, and the man in black took a step back. I didn't see how he moved, but I heard a "Zheng!" sound, and then the shadow of the sword flickered. The backs of the hands of the eight guards were struck one by one, and then the steel knives fell to the ground. The man in black spun around and kicked eight times like lightning, and the eight guards were kicked upside down and flew out and crashed into the door.

If the master is here, he will definitely be able to see the subtlety of the swordsmanship of the man in black, and he has already shown mercy to his subordinates when he made a move just now. If it weren't for the mercy of his subordinates, the back of the eight guards' hands would not have been whipped by the blade of the sword, but should have been cut by the blade.

With such a high swordsmanship, I believe everyone has guessed who this person is, yes, it is Zhong Bin, a swordsman who is known as the first master of Jinyiwei.

Zhong Bin glanced at the eight guards, and when he saw that the martial arts of these eight people were so low, he couldn't help frowning slightly, could it be that he would be with such a group of garbage in the future?

Zhong Bin shook his head slightly, and prepared to walk straight into the gate of Xiaoyao Villa.

Suddenly, a figure rushed out from inside the door, this person made a long knife, from the moment he pounced, the person came to stand still, Zhong Bin had already handed over more than thirty swords to him.

Zhong Bin's heart sank slightly. He looked up at the visitor, and saw that the man was a powerful man, dressed in a strong suit, with a short beard, and looked to be about thirty-one or twelve years old.

The person who came saluted Zhong Bin with a fist and said, "Down there is Han Yu, the commander of the guards of this Xiaoyao Villa, who has not consulted Your Excellency?"

Zhong Bin's long sword pointed diagonally at the ground, and the few moves that intersected with Han Yu just now had already made Zhong Bin a master. He is recognized as the number one master in Jinyiwei, so it is rare to meet someone who is willing to fight with him, and when he meets a person at this moment, for a person who has a fanatical pursuit of martial arts, Zhong Bin is never willing to let go of this opportunity to fight with a real master. He said lightly: "If you want to know who I am, I'll talk about it after the battle!"

Zhong Bin's figure suddenly moved, and the long sword shook and turned into ten, and several sword shadows shrouded Han Yu in it.

Han Yu frowned, raised the long knife in his hand, and slashed at Zhong Bin with a sharp knife, faintly producing a sound of breaking the air.

The sword is different from the knife, the sword is heavy and dexterous, and the word "fast" is emphasized. The knife is heavy and imposing, and it pays attention to the word "fierce".

Han Yu's identity is by no means simple, otherwise how could he have such a powerful martial arts in the turtle leader in the small group of Fang Pavilion Qinglou. It's a pity that Jiang Xia didn't see this scene, otherwise he would inevitably guess Han Yu's identity is not simple.

However, Han Yu's martial arts at this moment was not unintentional, but intentional. He himself is one of the spies in Dongchang, and he has received a signal from Liu Jin a few days ago, Liu Jin asked Han Yu to reveal the background of Qunfang Pavilion a little, and then waited for an opportunity to win over Jiang Xia. Therefore, revealing martial arts at this moment can be regarded as a psychological foreshadowing for Jiang Xia first.

Han Yu's knife skills are good, and he is quite brave between opening and closing, and he has the power of being unable to stand in his way. However, when he and Zhong Bin passed more than a hundred moves, Han Yu gradually fell behind, Zhong Bin is the realm of the ninth tripod, and Han Yu is only the seventh tripod, the realm of true qi is different, and Han Yu will be defeated after a long time.

Han Yu roared, and the long knife in his hand had just been raised.

This move Han Yu opened the empty door, if Zhong Bin stabbed him with a sword, he would definitely be able to poke a hole in him, but if Zhong Bin really stabbed him, Han Yu would inevitably be hacked to death by Zhong Bin with this knife.

This is a knife technique that ends up together, if Zhong Bin doesn't want to die with Han Yu, he must retreat and avoid Han Yu's knife. If a master makes a move, taking a step back is considered to be a flaw, and revealing a flaw is not far from losing.

Zhong Bin frowned slightly, and the long sword met the knife cut by Han Yu at once, and then used a "unloading" trick to unload Han Yu's brave knife aside. Immediately afterwards, Zhong Bin raised his left hand and slapped it at Han Yu, and Han Yu also raised his left hand to hit him.

The two of them each stepped back. Zhong Bin took two steps back, and Han Yu took five steps back. Han Yu slammed the long knife to the ground, stabilized his figure, he looked at Zhong Bin coldly and said: "Whether Your Excellency is an enemy or a friend, there is a kind of report to be famous, and I, Han Yu, do not accept nameless souls under the knife." ”
