Chapter 18: Fooling Chongzhen into a cripple
"Long live the Lord is really wise! Hey!
Actually...... I don't like to be an official! Seven, three, five, it doesn't matter! I just like silver! Lots and lots of silver! ”
"The imperial sister-in-law is really right! You kid, if you have milk, you are a mother! Can't feed! ”
Zhu Youzhen slammed the table, but Wang Li was not intimidated.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Zhu Youzhen had no choice but to take out his psychological words: "As long as you are loyal, I can give you silver!" ”
Zhu Youzhen softened, Wang Li also softened, and said with a smile: "Long live Lord, I am naturally timid, how dare I have two hearts for you......"
"Cowardly? Will you be timid? ”
Zhu Youzhen stood up and pointed at Wang Li's nose: "Dare to take Jin Wuwei and swagger to Xian'an Palace to ask for gold!" I can't find a second one! ”
I'll go!
Wang Li then remembered that when he escorted Zhu Youzhen into the palace that day, he went to Xian'an Palace by the way.
However, it is not a request for gold, but a return for it!
Because, at that time, I told Wei Zhongxian that the gold was temporarily stored in Xian'an Palace!
Now, if I go to Wei Zhongxian to ask for gold again, I don't have the guts!
Wang Li was still cynical, Zhu Youzhen was really a little angry, and raised his voice slightly:
"My good gangster is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty! But you never knelt before me! ”
"Hooray! The little slave is wronged! It's not that the little slave doesn't kneel, but he has to do it! You also know that the little slave has just been purified...... So ......"
Thinking of the wooden box sent out that day, Zhu Youzhen felt nauseous, quickly covered his throat, and it took a while to recover.
"Sit down!" Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, and Zhengse said: "You should know my intention to find you, right?" ”
"Long live the Lord, could it be...... Do you want to give those four beauties to the slaves? ”
"Even if I reward you, it's not a tyrannical thing? Do you have that blessed enjoyment? ”
"Hooray! You're going to be heart-wrenching! Who said it would destroy the heavens? They can at least help the minions with laundry and cooking, and they can warm up the bed in winter! ”
"Enough! Speak human words! Zhu Youzhen was really angry, and glared at Wang Li angrily: "I came to you, not to listen to your flamboyant tongue!" ”
Scold!
He seems to be really angry!
That's right, an emperor is led by his own nose, and it's no wonder if he doesn't get angry!
Since "enough", then take it when you see it!
So, Wang Li put away his smile and asked in a low voice, "Long live Lord, do you want to uproot Wei Zhongxian?" ”
"Not bad! I read the wrong person! Zhu Youzhen nodded with satisfaction, his face sank: "If it weren't for the imperial sister-in-law, I wouldn't have known that he was so rampant!"
The first thing to do to uproot him is to find out who his main henchmen are! He must be steady! But......
As my sister-in-law said, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all his people! Those who dare to oppose him will either be mutilated to death, dismissed and transferred, or resign and return to their hometowns!
As I said, you and the prince are the people I trust the most! I need your help! ”
Zhu Youzhen's words seemed very sincere.
His eyes are also full of sincerity.
But it seems that there is something hidden that I can't understand.
Wang Li didn't know the detailed history of the end of the Ming Dynasty, but he knew that not long after Zhu Youzhen succeeded to the throne, he got rid of Wei Zhongxian by himself!
In other words, don't look at this emperor is only sixteen years old, his scheming and skills are definitely beyond the reach of people!
But at this moment, he needs his own help, it's too unreasonable!
Wang Li was full of doubts, he didn't know, Zhu Youzhen was also full of doubts!
What is this little eunuch capable of?
openly went to Xian'an Palace to ask for gold, Da Ming really couldn't find the second one!
can let Wei Zhongxian personally send back the "baby", and Da Ming can't find the second one!
On the day he was accepted into the palace, he also used the method of "striking the east and attacking the west" to transfer away hundreds of Wei Zhongxian's factory guards!
In this Daming, who can be like a god like him, he will definitely find the second one!
Zhu Youzhen was still puzzled, but Wang Li suddenly realized!
This little emperor has only been on the throne for two days!
He has ambitions, but he can't do it!
From a psychological point of view, what he needs is not help, but confiding!
With his skill and scheming, he is really superfluous!
But......
What if you intimidate him and fool him when he is at his weakest?
Whether he can fool him or not, Wang Li doesn't dare to guarantee.
It's possible to provide yourself with some convenience!
So, Wang Li pretended to be mysterious and mysterious, and his eyes were half-closed: "Long live Lord, the little slave can help you get rid of Wei Zhongxian!" However, can you give the money that the little slave wants? ”
"Humph! The rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty are all mine! Can't give you a few taels of silver? ”
Zhu Youzhen was enraged, but Wang Li was secretly happy!
My own plan has been half successful!
"Hooray! Don't talk too soon!
What is the annual land tax, salt tax, mining tax, etc., what is the total income of the Ming Dynasty?
And how much does it cost each year?
How much more money can you take out of your private "little coffers"? ”
As soon as these words came out, it was like a slap in the face!
Wang Li didn't guess wrong, Zhu Youzhen was indeed stunned!
If you explain the history of the end of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Libei does not know, but he knows that the finances of the end of the Ming Dynasty have completely collapsed!
The emperor is wearing clothes full of patches, I'm afraid there is only Zhu Youzhen!
The emperor who relies on the queen to do the manual subsidy for the family, there is only Zhu Youzhen!
The emperor who begged the minister to donate money to make up the military salary was only Zhu Youzhen!
At this moment, he was worried about Wei Zhongxian's assassination all day long, and he didn't know Da Ming's financial situation!
While he was in a daze, Wang Li took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Long live the lord!" At present, the annual income of the Ming Dynasty is about four million taels of silver!
However, the amount of silver used on the Liaodong Front every year is as much as three million taels!
May I ask long live the lord, how long can the treasury of the Ming Dynasty last? ”
"You...... Why do you know this? ”
"Do you need to ask? What the ministers of the DPRK and China know, don't you know? ”
"You...... You...... If there is half a lie, I will cut you with a thousand knives! Five horses split into corpses! ”
Zhu Youzhen quickly ran out of the hall, turned back, and pointed at Wang Li's nose: "Stay here and don't move!" If I come back and don't see anyone, I'll punish you nine clans! ”
"Hooray! You have to check the various taxes paid every year, and pass on the book of the household department...... No, it's fine...... Finish...... ......"
Wang Li's words, Zhu Youzhen didn't hear a word, and disappeared in the roar.
I'll go!
Did it really scare Zhu Youjian to pee?
But......
The data I said is the information in the documentaries of later generations!
Something from hundreds of years ago, who can be so accurate?
If there is a slight deviation......
Alack......
It's a big deal!
If you're not careful, you'll have to put yourself in it!
Thinking of this, Wang Li wanted to die!
This Zhu Youzhen!
Why are you so brutal at a young age?
If you are unhappy, you will cut people with a thousand knives!
If you are not happy, you will punish the nine clans!
Alas!
Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, this is not false at all!
Hum!
If Lao Tzu can pick up a life, he must find an opportunity to plant the coal mountain full of locust trees!
One every three meters, all planted!
Find another craftsman who knows gardening and trim it all to crooked necks!
Hang whichever tree you want!
Hang you bastard!
Also, I heard that his daughter, Princess Changping, looks pretty good!
And that Zhou Shixian!
As long as I'm here, you don't want to eat swan meat!
Find yourself a place where no one is around, and go cool!
That's right, with Qin Huai's Eight Uniques, this Princess Changping can only rank ninth!
Hey!
Wang Li, I'm really dreaming!
Before I knew it, I was leaning on the low stool and falling asleep!
I don't know how long it took, but I was woken up by a cough.
"Little Princess......
I'll go!
It's not me talking about you!
You're an emperor!
How can you nod to a eunuch?
Where is your previous domineering?
What are you doing?
Red eyes, cried?
Are you ashamed?
"Little Princess......
"Uh...... Long live the ......"
Wang Li hurriedly stood up, but was pressed on the stool by Zhu Youzhen and sat down.
Then, Zhu Youzhen pulled another small stool, and the two of them sat in a row!
I'll go!
Doesn't it torment me!
was known by those officials, and the horror had to spread rumors, saying that I was rebelling!
"Little princess! Just now, there were a lot of inappropriate words in my words, and I ask the little prince not to blame him......"
"This ...... Long live Lord, you have just ascended the throne and are not very familiar with the government, so it is understandable, hehe!
Even if the little slave has the courage, he doesn't dare to blame it! ”
"The little prince is really a man of God! The current Ming Dynasty, there are strong enemies outside, the internal government is wasted, and the finances are beyond their means. ”
"This ...... Financial issues can't be rushed! The most important thing now is to get rid of Wei Zhongxian!
However, he should not be wary.
So...... The first thing to do is to keep quiet and weaken his power! ”
"That's right! I thought so too! I wonder what advice the little princess has? ”
"Long live the lord, now Wei Zhongxian is in charge of the East Factory, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all his minions!
In the eyes of the little slave, Long Live Lord can rebuild the West Factory and share such a professional salute with Wei Zhongxian! ”
Wang Li's words seem to be light and light!
In fact, it took him a lot of courage to dare to say it!
Emperor Chongzhen in history, how to get rid of Wei Zhongxian with lightning speed, Wang Li really didn't know.
But the consequence of getting rid of Wei Zhongxian is the rise of the civilian-official clique!
They are even better than Wei Zhongxian!
In Wang Li's view, getting rid of Wei Zhongxian at the same time, there is a force to restrain the civilian official group, which should be the best ending.
It's just that Zhu Youzhen in history is obsessed with power, stubborn and self-serving, and suspicious, will he agree to rebuild the West Factory?
Even if it is rebuilt, will he delegate power to the West Factory?
These, no one dares to guarantee!
However, if his flickering has an effect, he will most likely nod his head!
As long as he nods, he will be the boss of the West Factory!
He really has no one available but himself!
At least for now, he's unavailable!
"It's not impossible ......to rebuild the West Factory"
Zhu Youzhen thought about it for a while and basically agreed with Wang Li's suggestion, but he had another concern:
"Little Princess, if the West Factory is rebuilt now, it will obviously weaken Wei Zhongxian's strength, will he agree?
Is he that stupid? Won't make small moves behind your back? ”
Ha ha!
Wang Li was overjoyed!
After doing it for a long time and going around so many circles, what I was waiting for was this sentence!
I didn't expect Zhu Youzhen to take the bait so easily!
It seems that he really fooled him and was lame!
I don't think rationally anymore!
"As long as the Lord Long Live agrees, the little slave has a way! Within three days, Wei Zhongxian will definitely take the initiative to rebuild the West Factory! ”
