Chapter 589

Prince Zhu Huai-chan sat in the study, with his hair disheveled, and sitting beside him was Zhu Huai-rong, his younger brother, and the eldest son of the King of Qin, was already dead because he was too seriously injured.

"What's going on outside now? Do you know?" King Qin sat there and asked.

Zhu Huairong shook his head. Now there are imperial guards outside, and there is no news coming in.

"Hey, we probably will be escorted to the capital. Unfortunately, my King of Qin has been passed down to us. For so many generations, he is so lonely. He is really a good method for Jiajing. He has been dormant for so many years and wants to get rid of us. Before, he did not care about the government affairs and did not even go to court. Now he has dealt with us. Are we fooled?" The King of Qin sat there and said self-deprecatingly.

He looked down on Jiajing. Although he was an emperor, this emperor was not his. It was inherited by Zhu Houzhao. He could be an emperor, so he could do it himself. After becoming an emperor, he was fine in front but basically did not go to court afterwards. Now he suddenly killed a shot and made all the vassal kings unprepared.

"Tell me, if those vassal kings rise up to resist now, will there be a chance?" King Qin sat there and asked.

"Impossible. Those vassal kings dare not, there are some vassal kings that the emperor will not deal with!" Zhu Huairong sat there, shook his head and said.

"I mean, if!" King Qin continued to ask.

"It's impossible. Those dukes, together, have mastered millions of troops, especially the Imperial Guards. They have very strong combat power. If they weren't for their strong combat power, Zhang Hao would have died this time. We have prepared more than 1,000 people, but they can't even kill the guards around Zhang Hao.

And you have also heard the explosions. The weapon used to kill Tatars before. Now, only the Imperial Guards are in control. Other troops only know, but they are not used. I heard that the Ministry of War has no authority to mobilize this grenade, only His Majesty can mobilize it!" Zhu Huairong shook his head and said.

"Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao!" King Qin gritted his teeth and started cursing.

"Everyone underestimated Zhang Hao. If we chose to surrender from the beginning, or contact the Tatars directly, there might be a chance, but now, there is no chance. Zhang Hao has become the sharpest knife in the emperor's hand. He is not only a knife, but also the emperor's backing...

In the past few days, I have also figured out that the reason why the emperor is like this is because the emperor has money. How did this money come about? I heard that it was all made by Zhang Hao. Now the emperor has mastered the money in the court. The Ministry of Revenue is responsible for the emperor asking for money, and the emperor can exempt the world from taxes because Zhang Hao can make money.

I heard that the soap workshop and soap workshop can bring His Majesty seven or eight million taels of silver in a year, basically the tax revenue of the court a year ago, and the same is true for the salt. Zhang Hao also created a large amount of iron for His Majesty. These irons strengthened the combat effectiveness of the army. All of these were because of Zhang Hao.

If it weren't for Zhang Hao, I believe the emperor would definitely not have such confidence. He would not dare to touch us vassal kings. However, with money, army, and support from the people, all our vassal kings combined are not the emperor's opponents, and those people would not follow us to rebel!" Zhu Huairong sat there and said with a wry smile.

When the King of Qin heard this, he smiled bitterly. Zhu Huairong then looked at the King of Qin and said, "Now we need to consider the future of our King of Qin. If the emperor is cruel and demoted all of our King of Qin to common people, we have no choice, but it is best not to do so. There are tens of thousands of males in our King of Qin. If we become common people like this, we have the responsibility!"

"I know, I'm thinking about this these days. This time, I will take all the crimes. I admit all the crimes, just to retain our King of Qin. I will publicly state that we are wrong. The emperor needs us to do this now. If we do this, the other princes will not have such a big opinion. At that time, the emperor will be able to stabilize the Ming Dynasty!" The King of Qin sat there and said helplessly.

"But, what if the emperor doesn't agree? Now the initiative is on the emperor's side. If the emperor doesn't agree, we have no choice!" Zhu Huairong looked at the King of Qin and asked.

"Then I have no choice. I just hope that he can let our children go because we are all inherited by Taizu!" The King of Qin said helplessly. This was the thing he was most worried about. If Jiajing disagreed, they had no choice.

"Brother, add me, and a few generals in the capital and the auxiliary generals, I believe the chance is greater!" Zhu Huairong said.

Gu Zi

When the King of Qin heard this, he stared at Zhu Huairong tightly, and then said dissatisfiedly: "There is no prince, no general Zhenguo, no general auxiliary country, what else can we have in the Qin King? This matter cannot be done, I will stop it!"

"Brother, it's useless. It's impossible for the emperor to punish you alone. This time, the attack on Zhang Hao's children's family will probably be in trouble. I guess the same is true for me. It's better for us to take the initiative to protect some people before talking about it!" Zhu Huairong advised the King of Qin and said.

"This matter is not possible. No matter what, I want to keep you. With you, our Qin King's Group can recover. If you are gone, those generals and auxiliary generals will be gone, then our Qin King's Group will really fall!" The Qin King said very firmly.

"Brother, think about it, how did the King of Jin handle it, and they are the same. Our affairs are not smaller than those of King of Jin. Do you think Your Majesty will let us go easily like this? I dare say that the outside world must be replacing officials. The emperor wants to replace all the officials in Shaanxi. In addition, those military personnel will also be replaced. For such a big thing, do you think you can withstand it alone? " Zhu Huairong looked at the King of Qin and asked.

"The price is too high, too high!" The King of Qin said in great grief at this moment. The price this time was too high.

"Now, nothing we say is useless. Everything depends on Your Majesty's intention. If Your Majesty is willing to let us go, everything is easy to say. If Your Majesty does not let us go, it will be useless no matter how hard we struggle!" Zhu Huairong said helplessly.

The two brothers sat there in a daze. They often sat here in daze these days. They didn’t know about the things outside, and they didn’t know about the future of the King of Qin. They could only sit here. It would be nice not to go crazy. What else can they do?

And on Zhang Hao's side, Zhang Hao is so happy!

Anyway, things are going according to their own plans now, and there is no chaos. Some county magistrates have posted notices of peace and security. At the same time, they promised to return the tax they paid last year. In addition, they also hope that those people can come to the government to report the crimes of the officials and the King of Qin.

In addition, the people can also expose the crimes of local officials and gentry before. The government guarantees protection. Some desperate people go to the government and start complaining. The county magistrate registers immediately. If the evidence is conclusive, they will start arresting people. The arrested people will be reported to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao also depends on his confession. If it is related to the King of Qin, they will be sent to Xi'an. If it is unrelated, then it will be handled locally. After all, this is a local matter and it is impossible to send it to the capital.

In the next few days, officials came to report one after another, and Zhang Hao's subordinates were arranged to serve as county magistrates, and some served as prefects. After receiving the appointment, they arrived at Zhang Hao's residence.

"Have you received the appointment?" Zhang Hao asked them with a smile.

"Mr. Thank you for your cultivation!" The five of them bowed to Zhang Hao and said.

"I didn't cultivate you. It was the emperor who cultivated you. You were named here by the emperor himself. The emperor has expectations for you. I hope you can be a good official. After one term, you will come to the capital to report on your duties. The emperor needs to see whether you can be promoted depends on what you have done for the people in Shaanxi?

As for me, I have a few words to warn you that your salary can support your family. I hope you don’t do anything randomly and don’t make any moves. Why bother? For the sake of this money, you may lose the life of your family. In addition, since you are an official, do something for the people, either for promotion or for the salary of the court. You also need to do this.

I hope you remember, but do good things and don’t ask about your future. You do well. Your Majesty cannot not know. You also know that the Jinyiwei will often patrol all over the place. Once you meet good officials, you will report it. Once you do evil things and are known by Your Majesty, you will also be taken away by the Jinyiwei. I hope you remember it!" Zhang Hao sat there and reminded the five of them.

"Yes, sir, thank you for your teachings!" The five of them stood there again and bowed.

The positions of the five of them are all good, and the positions are not very remote. Jiajing also hopes to train more qualified young officials. These officials were trained for King Yu. After all, Jiajing cannot say that it will wait until they become the Minister of the Secretariat and the Minister of the Cabinet. However, the future Minister of the Cabinet must have been produced by those young people.

"Well, I don't have anything to give to you, and it's not okay to give money. In this way, I have prepared some gifts for each of you, you can use them. Become an official here. If you encounter any difficulties, you can send someone to me. If I can help, I will definitely help you, but the premise is that you have to be successful!" Zhang Hao sat there and looked at them and said.
