Don’t let the commercial tax be collected, otherwise you will be competing for profit with the people. Whoever says this, stand up and see who you are. If you don’t say anything else, let the Jinyiwei check your family’s assets first. If I find something out, throw it into the imperial prison and greet you first. I’m afraid you have stole a green onion and have to confess it at that time.

Zhu Cilang already had his own plan in his mind. First, he saw how much money the officials could donate to donate. Next, it was time to accept commercial taxes in the capital. These merchants were all fat and not accept anyone they would accept.

Does Chongzhen believe in his son? Of course he doesn't believe it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given him a deputy commander. But the problem is that Chongzhen is now in a hurry to seek medical treatment. At least Zhu Cixuan got him 800,000 taels of silver to solve his urgent needs.

At this time, Chongzhen had a glimmer of hope for his son, what if he could really get a huge sum of 10 million taels of money.

During the morning court, Chongzhen announced this edict. The edict was a bit strange. The Crown Prince Zhu Cilang was the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei and assisted the commander Luo Yangxing to maintain the security of the capital.

What is even more strange is that a crown prince was the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, but it did not cause much storm in the court. Because in the eyes of the ministers, a young crown prince, Chongzhen, asked him to be the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, just wanted to experience it. How big a child could cause a storm.

However, they will soon know that they are wrong. Zhu Cixuan, the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, will soon become everyone's nightmare.

Today's morning court was a little busy because Chongzhen announced a second edict. This edict made these ministers unable to sit still because the edict proposed to donate silver and help pay.

Donating silver to help pay, we ministers don’t have money. We all have the money when we live with our belts tightened. We have no money. If the emperor really wants to ask the minister to donate, then he will only take out a few hundred taels at most. After all, my family still has to have a meal to live.

Unexpectedly, before they could cry, the eunuch of Emperor Chongzhen in the Golden Palace, Wang Chengen, the eunuch who was proclaimed was already speaking: "Best-in-law Zhou Kui donated a total of 800,000 taels of silver to support the military pay of Liaodong soldiers! Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, donated a year to pay the military pay of Liaodong soldiers!"

As soon as this imperial edict was issued, the court was in an instant. The civil and military officials focused their attention on Zhou Kui, the father-in-law, and Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei.

To be honest, Luo Yangxing is not a loyal minister. After this man destroyed his country, he surrendered to Jiannu, which is a corrupt body.

Zhu Cilang doesn't want Luo Yang's bones to be too hard, so that the soft bones can be controlled. If Luo Yang's heart is a hard bone, Zhu Cilang, the deputy commander, will be constrained everywhere.

It's much easier to deal with, and Zhu Cilang could completely control the Jinyiwei in his own hands. I'm afraid even Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect this.

However, in this court, Zhou Kui, the father-in-law of the country, donated 800,000 taels of silver, which is a bit unacceptable.

Everyone knows that Zhou Kui is a stingy person, who is the kind of guy who has to drive off a wick before he dies. He actually donated 800,000 taels of silver for the first time. It seems that his father-in-law and son-in-law are in a deep relationship.

The question is, Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, joined in the fun and even donated a year's salary.

You are so generous and take the lead. It is difficult for the remaining ministers to donate less, and it seems too stingy if they donate less.

Therefore, at this time, Zhou Kui and Luo Yangxing became the target of public criticism. Luo Yangxing didn't care anyway. Now he has the crown prince as his backer, and the Jinyiwei is doing something that offends the officials, and he is afraid that you can play a ball.

Zhou Kui is different. He abolished his teeth and swallowed blood. The mute's sucking of coptis chinensis was difficult to describe.

He was targeted by the Jinyiwei. He didn't know that his wife and children had made three million taels of property, but the Jinyiwei actually found out clearly.

The worst thing is that I donated one million taels, but when I arrived in front of the imperial court, I became 800,000 taels. Where did the remaining 200,000 taels go? I thought about it with the back of my head and knew that it was the Jinyiwei Luo Yangxing who embezzled it.

Zhou Kui dared not say this matter even if he had any hardship. If he said he donated one million taels, he would not want to live with Luo Yangxing.

Chongzhen naturally would not let Luo Yangxing down 200,000 taels of silver, and Luo Yangxing, who was desperate, would inevitably take out the account book hidden in the tutelage department. At that time, Chongzhen knew that he had actually made a huge fortune of 3 million taels, and everyone would have to finish it together.

What Zhou Kui didn't know was that it was not his Luo Yangxing who withdrew the 200,000 taels of silver, but his good nephew Zhu Cixuan.

My nephew doesn’t just cheat my father, but sometimes my grandfather.

Chongzhen was very happy and really praised Zhou Kui's patriotic achievements: "I am very relieved to the beloved of the country. I am listed as my beloved minister. Now that the country is in trouble, it is time for the court to rely on you. The beloved minister was the example of the ministers and donated 800,000 taels of silver at once. Next, I will look at the performance of the beloved minister."

Chongzhen was not a thing either. He deliberately kept saying everything so that his ministers could not open their mouths. The father-in-law donated 800,000 yuan, but if you don’t say how much it has donated, you should have 80,000 yuan.

The ministers were silent, and some of them had already started to sweat secretly. Zhou Kui was not a thing, so he donated so much at once, so he would not let others live.

"Taxes are the blood of the country, and I cannot ask them for them any more. From now on, the Jinyiwei will be responsible for the collection of commercial taxes in the capital. All the dear ministers shall not advise, otherwise they will be sentenced to death!"

Chongzhen was still smart and collected commercial taxes. All civil and military officials would definitely strongly oppose it. He simply took the initiative. Who dared to persuade him again and was sentenced to death.

The civil and military officials finally discovered that today's morning court was different. The morning court seemed to have become the emperor's one-man rule. This has never happened since Wei Zhongxian's fall.

So, someone finally stood up. Wei Zaode, a compiler of the Hanlin Academy, stood up: "Long live the report, my salary is too small to make a living, and my family has no spare wealth. Please give me a clear review."

Wei Zaode was the first to oppose Chongzhen's donation of silver and money. When he stood up, he immediately aroused the approval of his ministers.

This one said that she had an 80-year-old mother in her family, and the other said that her wife and children were hungry and could donate only a limited amount of money. In short, the court became a crying meeting.

This was already expected by Chongzhen, and he just said lightly: "You guys have their own difficulties, and I only know this. I will order the Jinyiwei to verify it one by one. If you are in a difficult family, you can do your best."
