Chapter Thirty-six Friendship

"Bestie, father-in-law! Why did you suddenly faint? Hurry up, help the person up." Luo Yangxing shouted.

Several Jinyiwei guards around him came over and helped Zhou Kui up, pinched and rubbed him, and finally Zhou Kui woke up slowly.

Zhou Kui's eyes were empty when he woke up, and two lines of clear tears fell from the corners of his eyes again. Five hundred thousand taels, five hundred thousand taels!

Luo Yangxing, the father-in-law Zhou Kui, is known for his stinginess. He lost half of his life after taking him one million taels last time. This time he took another 500,000 taels from him, and he probably would have to hang himself.

Luo Yangxing had nothing to persuade about such things, but just bowed: "Mr.

It would be fine if he didn't say it, but after saying this, Zhou Kui immediately trembled. He fell on the chair, covered his chest with his left hand, and pointed at the head of the kang with his right hand trembling.

Several Jinyiwei looked at each other, and no one knew what the father-in-law meant. Luo Yangxing was also confused, and had no choice but to order: "Go and call the servants."

The subordinates went out and called the servant Liufu in again. As soon as Liufu entered the door, he saw Zhou Kui who was limping on the chair of the Grand Master. He couldn't help but be shocked: "Master, the father-in-law!"

Otherwise, why do people around you know the best, Liu Fu immediately understood the direction Zhou Kui pointed. He grabbed the kang and carried out the copper pot of Soup Pozi under the quilt.

Liu Fu, who was as careful as a hair, touched it with his hands: "It's still hot, Master, please cover it up."

This "Tang Pozi" seemed to have become Zhou Kui's life-saving straw. He hurriedly snatched it and put it on his chest.

If this kettle is really magical, Zhou Kui seemed to have returned to some gods: "Oh, oh, 500,000 taels, 500,000 taels of silver, I, let's die~Woooooo~!"

After howling, Zhou Kui finally ordered his servants to go to the money house to repay a ticket of 500,000 taels of silver. This time, it was really a tragic blow to Zhou Kui.

The Jinyiwei left, and Luo Yangxing got what he wanted. What Zhou Kui never dreamed of was that all this was a good thing done by his good nephew, the prince Zhu Cilang.

"Master, the porridge is ready. As you told me, add less corn and add more water. This is the pickle you want. When the villain pickles, add double salt." The servant Liufu brought Zhou Kui's supper.

At this time, Zhou Kui was still in the mood to eat porridge. He trembled with his lips and took the porridge bowl tremblingly. Big tears fell, and he howled while eating. He took a bite and howled, then took a bite and howled...

Liu Fu couldn't stand it anymore and brought the pickles over: "Master, you can't just drink porridge, eat some pickles."

Zhou Kui looked at him aggrievedly: "Liufu, I can't afford to eat pickles in the future. 500,000 taels of silver, wuwu~!"

On the second day, the early court of Huangji Gate, all civil and military officials came one after another. However, Zhou Kui, the father-in-law, did not come, and just as everyone whispered, he saw an old man with a hunchback, walking tremblingly by a eunuch.

"Hey, who is this person? He's kind-hearted."

"I*(Damn), isn't this the father-in-law Zhou? Why? I haven't seen him grow old in a few days."

"Master Zhou, are you?"

As soon as they walked in, all the officials surrounded him and looked at Zhou Kui with words and words. Everyone had an illusion that Zhou Kui was so virtuous that he seemed to be an old dog who had been fucked by someone.

Zhou Kui didn't say anything, but shed tears. Everyone was surprised and was talking a lot. The eunuch Xuansong of the morning court came to court.

All the officials entered the hall one after another. Chongzhen looked good today. The officials shouted long live, and Chongzhen waved his hand gently: "Let's be calm."

Judging from the emperor's appearance, there is a happy event today.

Fang Yuegong, the Minister of Revenue, stood up with courage, bowed and asked, "Long live my life, Long Yan is very happy today. Could it be that the border has won a battle, or the bandits have been seized, or what are the happy events in the harem?"

Chongzhen was indeed very happy. He laughed: "Not all, I want to tell you good news today. It's difficult for the court. The wars and disasters have continued over the years, and the treasury has already seen the bottom of it. This is difficult for your Ministry of Revenue."

Chongzhen finally said the truth, and the moved Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Fang Yuegong stretched out his sleeves to wipe his tears. Fang Yuegong was a good official and a loyal minister. He was in charge of the money and food of the Ministry of Revenue, and he was also a clever wife who could not cook without rice. Chongzhen finally understood their difficulties, and Fang Yuegong couldn't help but burst into tears.

Chongzhen was also very excited, and he couldn't help but stand up: "I know that it's not just me these years, but you have not been easy. As far as I know, many officials in various departments and yamen have no rice at home. It's all my fault, I've let you down."

"Your Majesty!" The ministers knelt on the ground in unison, and someone quietly wiped his tears.

Yes, there has been no peaceful life in the country these years. The court has been complicated, with natural disasters and man-made disasters and years of wars, which have caused a stalemate between Emperor Chongzhen and all officials. The king and his ministers are disloyal and distrust each other.

Today, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly had a heart to everyone, which made some of the clear stream pillars in the court cry out immediately.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji personally led an army of 100,000 bypassing the Guanningjin defense line and heading straight to Beijing. The Ming and Qing dynasties fought outside Beijing for more than half a month, but in the end, Huang Taiji returned in a defeated manner under Beijing.

But why did it take only two days to break through the city of Beijing, which Huang Taiji had not broken through for half a month?

There are naturally many reasons for this, but one thing is that Chongzhen and his ministers distrust each other. At that time, Chongzhen had thought about moving the capital to Nanjing, after all, Nanjing was another political hub of the Ming Dynasty. Three provinces and six ministries were still retained in Nanjing. In other words, as long as Chongzhen arrived in Nanjing, all government departments of the Ming Dynasty could continue to operate.

When Chongzhen made this suggestion, no minister agreed. Although Chongzhen was not a foolish monarch, he was extremely arrogant and did not listen to his opinions at all. Within 17 years, he changed 19 cabinet chiefs. This approach of eagerness for quick success and instant benefits naturally led to the destiny of everyone, and eventually made Li Zicheng's peasant army intensified and the troops were at the city.

Now the emperor has become more concerned about his ministers. Chongzhen knows that it is difficult to be a minister. The officials also understand the difficulties of the emperor, so everyone has let go of their past grudges, and Chongzhen can't help but shed tears.
