Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Five: Business Profits

Wei Zhongxian came in person with the mat and bedding.

Emperor Tianqi was right next to this mountain of gold and silver, and he didn't even bother with the scattered gold and silver on the ground, so he fell to the ground and fell asleep.

I only slept for two or three hours, and it was dawn.

The captain and the students were extremely tired. They moved the gold and silver for a day, and even though they were in a strong state, they felt a little overwhelmed.

Who knew that at dawn, someone pounded the gong: "Get up, get up, get up, get up and count the silver."

Many people just feel confused. Fortunately, after all, people who have experienced training have gotten up and cleaned up, and immediately gathered in the vast land of the back house.

At this time, Emperor Tianqi was energetic again. Although he had only slept for two or three hours, he was holding a gong and a hammer and said, "We have started working. I have ordered people to prepare breakfast. Don't worry, do it for an hour first and have a meal later."

“…”

After saying that, Emperor Tianqi led the way and excitedly headed towards the gold and silver mountain again.

He seemed to be tireless.

He was happy while moving the money, as if he had picked up money. Having said that, wasn’t he just picking up money?

Of course, everyone had to accompany His Majesty to go crazy, but the efficiency was much slower than yesterday.

Zhang Jingyi was also awakened, as if he had a nightmare. He couldn't help but shake his head and ran to find Emperor Tianqi and said, "Your Majesty, I have another official business in Xinxian County. I'm afraid I'll take a day off. Your Majesty will count here. I will come back at noon tomorrow."

"Do you want to go back to sleep?" Emperor Aoki looked at him squintly.

Zhang Jing was shocked: "How can Your Majesty say such things! What I am thinking about is the people of Xinxian County. There are so many things in Xinxian County. Besides, I am the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei. The affairs of the guards also need to be handled by the ministers. What does it have to do with eating the king's salary and sharing the worries of the king? "

"No one is allowed to leave before counting. Don't think about leaving when you come. Even if you don't have the strength, you can hide and watch." Emperor Tianqi said without any doubt: "If you leave, everyone will lose their energy to count the money."

Zhang Jingyi was very helpless and had to ask, who is the emperor the boss?

But this is really not a life for people.

Wei Zhongxian was standing aside and asked the little eunuch to pour tea. Then he held the tea cup and sent it to Emperor Tianqi excitedly, saying flatteringly: "Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work. You will take a sip of tea first. Your Majesty will lead by example. I admire you very much. Over the years, I have been with Your Majesty and have been deeply touched..."

Emperor Tianqi took the teacup and drank the tea in big mouthfuls. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, pour more tea and give everyone a few sips. How can people work without tea? This amount of money is also a craft. If there is any negligence or mistake, then I will regret it too much."

After saying that, he ignored people and continued to move his money.

Two days passed like this, and Emperor Aoki seemed tireless.

Zhang Jingyi found it incredible that people can stimulate such potential.

But looking at other people, although they are also moving silver, their state is obviously far inferior to that of Emperor Apocalypse.

So Zhang Jing knew it in his heart that moving his own money was different from moving money to others.

Zhang Jingyi suddenly thought of something. He decided to send Guan Shaoning another letter to him after he returned home and told him what happened here. With Guan Shaoning's ability to comprehend, he would definitely be able to understand something from it.

"Sure enough, people's enthusiasm comes from interests." Zhang Jing sighed in his heart.

But at this time, the officials in the court could no longer bear it.

His Majesty suddenly stayed in the palace for several days without any movement. Then it was reported that the Duke Cheng Guo was searched. The city was still full of wind and rain, but it disappeared for another two or three days. After inquiring, it turned out that he had actually gone to Duke Cheng Guo's mansion and heard that his house had been searched.

Is this so great?

After all, Duke Cheng was a hero of Jingnan. Even if he committed a great crime, he would be fined for the right to punish him. Why should he insult him like this?

All officials are actually anxious.

They felt more and more that His Majesty began to move in an uncontrollable direction.

Like a wild horse that broke away from its reins.

You say that Wei Zhongxian is not vicious or not, that must be a vicious one. In order to deal with Donglin, I don’t know how many Donglin people were thrown into the imperial prison. However, the Donglin people who were killed were a minority after all, and the vast majority of them would be dismissed from office at most, and there were still many, and they didn’t even give up.

If Wei Zhongxian was talking about the evil, it would be only afterwards that Wei Zhongxian created a "Donglin Dian General Record" and imitated the "Water Margin" to edit 18 Donglin Party members as 108 Donglin generals.

In fact, it is to imply that these 108 Donglin Party are "thieves".

Of course, the harm of this thing is not even insulting to the Donglin Party members. Many people are proud of being able to participate in the Donglin general record.

Wei Zhongxian did these things and was scolded for several years.

But now I think about it, His Majesty is even more cruel. The Duke, who has been in the past two hundred years, wanted to kill him, so he turned his head to confiscate his house.

Forget it, I even went to copy it myself.

Poor Zhu Chunchen, a loyal and kind-hearted man, came from a famous family, and no matter how big the mistake he made, he would not be humiliated.

So, rumors spread.

Huang Liji couldn't sit still anymore. He didn't see His Majesty for two or three days. Not only that, even Wei Zhongxian was not in the Sili Supervisor.

As a result, many votes were accumulated, and there were many memorials waiting to be praised.

Early this morning, he arrived at the cabinet and his first thing was to ask the cabinet clerk: "Your Majesty has news."

"I'm still in the Duke Chengguo's Mansion, Duke Huang sent someone to ask, and he said... I don't know when His Majesty will return."

Huang Liji sighed and said, "Oh... Why is Your Majesty so unhappy with his reputation?"

Actually, there is something in his words.

Your Majesty does not cherish his reputation, but His Majesty's reputation is not very good. From an official perspective, the person who is unlucky in His Majesty's appearance is Huang Liji. Everyone will only say that you, Huang Liji, have no character and cater to the emperor everywhere.

Sun Chengzong also found Huang Liji's duty room. He seemed very worried and said, "Mr. Huang, your majesty is not in the palace?"

"That's right." Sun Chengzong smiled bitterly, "What does Mr. Sun think of this?"

Sun Chengzong sighed and said, "We can't go on like this. Now there are so many major issues in the country, we need to discuss with Your Majesty! Yesterday, Hanlin and the Censor were both making trouble for the three years of taxes in Yan'an Prefecture in Guanzhong. I heard that the place was hit by another disaster. If the taxes could be exempted, at least some disasters could be alleviated. However... the Ministry of Revenue has strong opposition. If the taxes are exempted, the treasury this year is already in great deficit, and this is the case.

How can you bear the grain? The officials in the court have been discussing this matter for many days, and it is difficult to argue. There are hundreds of controversial memorials for this. The Ministry of Revenue, the Hanlin Academy, the Censorate, and even the Ministry of Works have been involved. Our cabinet has also discussed it once. Now it is time for Your Majesty to make a decision. But Your Majesty ignores government affairs, Your Majesty can delay this matter, but the victims cannot delay it. Now bandits have already started everywhere and can't delay it anymore."

Huang Liji was also helpless and smiled bitterly: "That's true. Mao Wenlong from Dongjiang Town is also urging money and grain. He plans to wait for the spring of next year to attack the heartland of Liaodong while the Jiannu people in Liaodong are plowing. However, there is no money and grain, and the soldiers are afraid of insufficient morale. Therefore, he asked to allocate 29,000 taels of silver as a reward and make up for the owed salary in the past two months. This is also a big deal!"

Sun Chengzong was a little angry. Sun Chengzong was actually quite indulgent about his disciple. He felt that the emperor really did not need to pretend to be a good morning court. His Majesty was smart and naturally he had his way to govern the country, but this did not mean that even major national affairs could be delayed.

So the more he thought about it, the more anxious Sun Chengzong became, and said, "If it doesn't work, you have to go to the Duke Cheng's mansion to welcome him immediately. You need to ask Your Majesty to return to the palace and not let him continue to make trouble. Now the country is in a huge difficulty, how can it still be like this?"

Huang Liji seemed a little hesitant and frowned and said, "If this is the case, I'm afraid..."

Sun Chengzong said solemnly: "Mr. Huang, you are already burning with anger."

"Stop... Let's go now." Huang Liji glanced at Sun Chengzong, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go together."

As he said that, he set off immediately.

However, the news in the cabinet spread quickly, and the Hanlins who were waiting in the cabinet also felt energetic after hearing this.

Now Huang Gong is the time when the law does not punish the masses. Even if he wants to shed blood and sacrifice, please start with Huang Gong.

So, more than a dozen Hanlin people followed.

When Huang Liji saw this posture, he was a little panicked when he saw so many people, why are there so many people? Is the noise too much?

"Mr. Sun, will someone speak too aggressively at that time, anger your Majesty and cause your Majesty to blame me?"

Sun Chengzong glared at him and said, "You are the chief minister of the cabinet and you have to take responsibility for it."

Huang Liji: "..."

The group of them hurried to Duke Cheng's Mansion. When they saw that the Duke's Mansion had already been beyond recognition, the door was deserted and there were lieutenant holding a knife everywhere, so they couldn't help but feel sad.

Huang Liji got out of the sedan chair and couldn't help but sigh: "When Zhu Neng assisted the country in peace, he didn't expect that the wealth and honor of these ten lifetimes had disappeared."

The Hanlin people behind him muttered in a low voice, saying: "I heard that on weekdays, Duke Cheng was still simple and frugal. He never thought that he had confiscated his home now. If he had known today, he would not have been so stingy at the beginning."

Someone said, "Did you know that Duke Cheng Guo has actually been unable to make ends meet with his income from the manor? I heard that he secretly did business in order to save money."
