[Everyone, if you have any good ideas, you can communicate in the comment area! ] 】

"Sir, do this...... Is it too unsympathetic! ”

In the dormitory, after retiring everyone, Zhu Jingyuan asked such a question.

Just now, he thought that the cough was real, but the cough was so bad that he couldn't control it was fake, and Zhu Jingyuan used this to escape from the main hall.

Gao Shuyan sighed lightly: "Your Highness don't worry, we have no choice!" ”

Compared with the ruthless and ruthless emperor, the government and the opposition are more looking forward to a virtuous and gentle monarch, and Zhu Jingyuan is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

This is also why, even if King Rui is aggressive, Zhu Jingyuan still sits on the crown prince.

It's just that the prince's kindness is excessive, but it has become a shortcoming that restricts him, which is also called gaining and losing.

Standing up and walking towards the bookcase, Zhu Jingyuan said slowly: "The thirteenth brother is wise and decisive, I really underestimated him in the past!" ”

The younger brother who only wielded guns and sticks in his impression was now able to take charge on his own, which suddenly changed to Zhu Jingyuan's great impact.

"In the past, the thirteenth master was disgusted with studying, but he was not punished by the saint, and the minister thought that he only had the courage of a horseman, but he didn't expect ......"

Gao Shuyan's voice fell, and Zhang Xin, the eunuch who was also the prince's confidant, said: "It's not surprising, the slave can hear that for today's matter, the thirteenth master prepared all day yesterday!" ”

"Oh? How did he prepare? ”

"First of all, I learned about the duties and powers of the officials in detail, and then checked the conduct of the senior officials of all parties, and I also practiced with several guards in advance!"

In the same dormitory, the two brothers are at most thirty meters apart in a straight line, Zhu Jinghong only cares about reading the report, but he doesn't know that the little brother has done so many things.

"That's a ...... Mr. Gao, the thirteenth brother's behavior is really surprising! ”

Gao Shuyan nodded, but didn't say anything more.

What happened in the hall of Fangcai, Zhang Xin repeated it to them, and it seems that Zhu Jinghong's approach is very successful.

Officials leave under pressure and always do something after they go down.

In addition, Zhu Jinghong asked everyone to try their best to settle the accounts, and if they can't settle the accounts, they must report it truthfully after half a month, which is a very bold decision in Gao Shuyan's opinion.

The objective fact is that some of the gaps in the accounts are too large to be settled in the first place, and there are responsibilities of current and former officials.

Therefore, putting aside these confused accounts and summarizing the real situation in various parts of Jinling as soon as possible will undoubtedly be more useful for preparing for war.

It's just that the crown prince Zhu Jingyuan and Gao Shuyan don't have the courage to let go of bad debts, so they can only blindly pressure officials to investigate, hoping that these people will find a way to settle the accounts.

As for how these people settled their accounts, whether they paid more taxes or begged for a loan from the gentry, they didn't bother to pay attention at all.

There was silence in the hall for a few breaths before Gao Shuyan spoke: "The Thirteenth Master is talented and long, he can do things that others dare not do, and he has a deep friendship with His Highness, and he will definitely be able to greatly help His Highness in the future!" ”

These words are reminding Zhu Jingyuan that the next step is to envelop this brother, and it will be easier to fight with King Rui in the future.

After all, in another year, this will be crowned prince, and the level is already equal to King Rui.

Zhu Jingyuan didn't realize this, just shook his head and said, "That's it...... I only hope that he will cause less trouble for me in the future! ”

The stereotype of Zhu Jinghong causing trouble is difficult to eliminate in Zhu Jingyuan's heart in a short period of time, and only outsiders can see the key to the problem.

The prince couldn't understand it, and Gao Shuyan couldn't express it clearly, so he could only hope for future guidance.

"Mr. Gao, what do you think will be like in ten days?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, after half a month, everything will settle, and His Highness only needs to reward and punish clearly!"

Zhu Jingyuan was slightly stunned, and nodded heavily behind him.

Not far from the west side of the palace, in the courtyard behind the political secretary's yamen, there are also people in a heavy mood.

After changing out of his official robe, Zheng Xianlin put on a blue cloud-patterned robe and sat in the hall drinking tea.

In front of him, He Gujin walked back and forth, stopping to sigh from time to time.

Upset by him, Zheng Xianlin put down the teacup heavily, and then said, "I said...... Don't go, my head hurts! ”

After walking back and forth twice, He Gujin stopped: "Lao Zheng, is it really as the thirteenth master said, let the people below report the situation to 1510?" ”

How many of the accounts that were missing at the bottom flowed into private pockets, how much was sent to the court, and how many were requisitioned and transferred by the palace, the two of them had a rough idea in their hearts.

It was precisely because of the number that they knew that this thing could not be obtained, otherwise a boatload of people in Jinling officialdom would suffer.

Corruption and bribery, exploitation of the people, and a deficit in the government treasury......

In a prosperous place like Jinling, most prefectures and counties have such a deficit, and the two of them don't care about the outcome of the people below, but they have to care about their own end.

"What else can I do? Let them borrow, how much can they borrow, and deal with this time first! Zheng Xianlin said impatiently.

This is also a common trick of the government, borrowing things to fool the inspection, and returning the original to each family.

Even if the borrowed money and grain are requisitioned, as long as the inspection is passed, it can be deducted from taxes in the following year.

With such a big gap, it takes half a month to plug it, but I'm afraid it's not so easy.

"In the past few days, they have been preparing, and it must be enough to give half a month!"

"Enough? Lao Zheng ...... Do you really not understand or are you pretending to be confused? Such a big gap can be filled in half a month? ”

"So what? Can we make money? Zheng Xianlin asked rhetorically.

After staring at Zheng Xianlin for a few seconds, He Gujin sat directly on the chair on the side, picked up the teacup and poured two sips.

"It's a big deal, you and I have to suffer, let's make plans early!"

Turning his head to look at He Gujin, Zheng Xianlin asked, "How to plan?" ”

"Send a letter to those in the court, let them try to stir up the situation in the court and put pressure on the prince!"

"Instigating the impeachment of the prince, you are not small!" Zheng Xianlin said leisurely.

"Things are getting bigger, the fish are dead, and we have no way out!" He Gujin's expression was serious.

"If things are big, the net may not be broken, but if we go to the letter, it will really set ourselves on fire!"

"You don't want to think about it, what is the situation between the DPRK and China now?"

Standing up, Zheng Xianlin walked to the hall with his hands in his hands: "The prince and the king of Rui are fighting with knives, let's send a letter to the capital, wouldn't we stick our heads under their knives?" ”

"I am still a high-ranking official in Jinling, but I am a small person in the capital and in the court, no different from the group of people who were beheaded in front!"

"Between swords and swords, no matter what the victory or defeat, we will all die without a place to be buried!"

After saying so much in one breath, Zheng Xianlin sighed slightly, and then turned around: "On the contrary, I didn't do anything, and I did my best to clean up the Jinling mess, even if the incident happened, it would only be dismissed, and my luck would only be to be imprisoned and exiled!" ”

"At least, you and my lives can still be saved!"

Hearing these words, He Gu Jin's eyes widened.

He has always felt that Zheng Xianlin didn't understand how serious the matter was, but now it seems that he was hasty.

He also wanted to survive this catastrophe safely, and the old Zheng was ready to dismiss the official and go to prison.

"Really got to this point?"

Glancing at He Gujin, Zheng Xianlin said slowly: "I don't need to tell you the truth of the disaster of the pond fish, right?" ”

He Gu Jin knew this truth before he was ten years old, and he couldn't help but sigh again when he heard this.

"Is there really no way to get out of the way?" He Gu Jin slammed the table, breaking the silence in the room.

Glory and wealth, who is willing to lose, why Gu is unwilling to be very normal.

He didn't want to ask, but unexpectedly, Zheng Xianlin said: "It's still ...... There's a way! ”
