Chapter 72 Passing the border
He turned his finger to Ye Xianggao and Han Du, and said lightly: "I wonder if you two, how much is the total amount you received for this payment?"
Ye Xianggao glanced at Han Du, stood up, and said with a calculation: "Return to His Highness Hui, the amount of money reported from various places has not been calculated in detail, but there should be five million taels."
Zhu Xu turned to look at the second assistant Han and said, "Mr. Han, which yamen are there for participating in this time?"
Han Yu had a thin horn and a square person. He bowed slightly and said, "When you go back to the Ministry of Revenue, Jinyiwei, and Shuntian Mansion, all other yamen are assisting."
Zhu Xu squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them, and the chill on his body could be felt in the entire imperial study.
After a long time, he took a deep breath, took out an account book from his arms, and handed it to Zhu Youxiao and said, "Brother, look at this, it's just a calculation, and the amount may be much larger than this."
Zhu Youxiao's expression was always depressed. Now the Ministry of War blatantly implicated several dukes and princes into this clearance operation for no reason. Then his younger brother, King Hui, also rushed into the Ministry of War, becoming the biggest whirlpool, making him the most difficult to deal with.
He looked at the account book handed over by Zhu Xu, and the two big "Ministry of War" on it, he took it with a cold look and looked over.
Ye Xianggao and Han Du couldn't see what Zhu Xu had handed, but they looked at each other with a bad premonition in their eyes.
Zhu Youxiao flipped through the account book, his already pale face suddenly turned a little blush.
Zhu Xu knew that he was angry, so he quietly took a few steps back. The next home game was Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the chief assistant Ye Xianggao, and the second assistant Han Du.
He quietly gave Queen Zhang a reassured look, and Queen Zhang let out a light breath, and finally gave him a warning look.
Zhu Xu has finished playing the role of the great hero, and now he wants to be a little transparent, so he keeps quietly retreating.
"Ahem"
Suddenly, Zhu Youxiao coughed in a low voice, but he still held back, drank a cup of tea, and continued to cough while watching.
Queen Zhang looked at it with a distressed heart and whispered a maid to prepare something. She walked over gently, stroked his back, and called "Emperor."
Zhu Youxiao's chest was getting bigger and bigger, and his whole body was like a small volcano before the eruption.
Zhu Xu also sighed inwardly. Anyone who would probably be angry would be angry. The "tax silver" he should have collected was less than one-tenth of the time. Which emperor could tolerate it? What's more, these humeral ministers who are always against him and are dedicated to the country?
Thinking of this, Zhu Xu couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhu Youjian not far away, thinking that he would have discovered such a truth if he killed so many ministers in the future?
Zhu Youxiao was not stupid, on the contrary, he was very smart and had been struggling in the chaotic and united court. However, looking at the account book of the Ministry of War, he still made him angry, his cough worsened, and his face turned red.
puff
Zhu Youxiao thrust his body violently and spurted out blood.
"emperor!"
"Brother!"
It was too sudden that the people in the imperial study were stunned, and then they all stepped forward, looking at Zhu Youxiao with a look of shock.
Zhu Youxiao squirted out blood, and his whole body calmed down, still rising and falling from his chest, his face twitched at the people in front of him, and gritted his teeth and said, "Transfer my order, Zhang Heming is imprisoned, the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple trial, and King Hui is in charge of the trial, all of them will go down."
Ye Xianggao and Han Du were both shocked and couldn't help but look at the account book handed over by Zhu Xu on the imperial table.
But Zhu Youxiao stood up with Queen Zhang's support and walked backwards.
Zhang Guoji and Ye Xianggao, and Han Yu naturally bowed quickly and said, "I'm leaving."
After a few people left, only Zhu Xu and Zhu Youjian, who had not made any noise, were left in the imperial study.
Zhu Youjian turned around and wanted to leave, but then turned around, looked at Zhu Xu, and said with a warning look on his face: "Sixth brother, learn the rules well, this kind of thing is absolutely necessary." After saying that, he did not give Zhu Xu a chance, so he turned around and walked out.
Zhu Xu looked at his back and moved the corners of his mouth. He was not stupid when he was the emperor, Zhu Youxiao was not stupid, and Zhu Youjian was not stupid.
Zhu Xu stood in the imperial study room and was alone for a long time.
According to his script, Zhu Youxiao should be furious at this moment and ordered a thorough investigation of the Ministry of Revenue, Jinyi, Shuntian Mansion and other yamen. Zhu Youxiao suddenly vomited blood, interrupted his plan, and even asked him to be the presiding officer.
But if you think about everything today, although there are many flaws, the purpose is to achieve it.
Zhu Xu was sure that there was no major omission, so he turned around and wanted to get the account book back, but his eyes were staring at the teacup Zhu Youxiao had just drunk.
The tea lid fell down aside, and the tea was red. Zhu Youxiao's blood was spurted out just now. No matter how much it was sprayed, it would not make a cup of tea rich like this.
Zhu Xu's heart suddenly became cold, and the first thought in his heart was: run away!
He did the same, quickly ran out of the Imperial Study Room, Jingyang Palace, and headed straight for Jinghuan Palace.
When Cao Wenzhao saw this, his expression changed slightly. He hurriedly followed Zhu Xu and said anxiously: "Your Highness, what happened?"
"Let's talk about it when you go back." Zhu Xu wiped the sweat from his head, and his mind was quickly turning, thinking about the purpose of Zhu Youxiao doing this.
At this moment, in the east wing of Jingyang Palace, Zhu Youxiao was next to Queen Zhang, wiping his mouth while smiling, "Did you see it?"
Queen Zhang naturally saw that it was a couple who cooperated to perform the show well, but she didn't understand Zhu Youxiao's purpose, and asked in confusion: "Master, what did that monkey give you?"
That monkey, Queen Zhang, used this title, obviously, had already concluded that Zhu Youxiao would not do anything to Zhu Xu.
Zhu Youxiao picked up a cup of tea, sucked it gently, then breathed a deep breath, and said, "A account book was paid back by the Ministry of War this time, with a total amount of more than five million taels, which is more than those handed over to the national treasury."
Queen Zhang's face changed slightly and she said, "Your Majesty, are you saying that someone from the Ministry of War was discovered by his sixth brother?"
Zhu Youxiao nodded, his eyes were cold and said, "I have always known that they would be greedy, but I didn't expect that they had reached this point. A Ministry of War who only helped me save five million taels. Then aren't there more other yamen? It is estimated that even less than one-fifth of the ones registered in the treasury."
Empress Zhang has always been committed to not interfering in politics in the harem, and she didn't say much when she heard this, but just sat with Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao did not lose his mind, and seemed not very angry. He was silent for a while and said, "I asked my sixth brother to be the chief judge, just to knock on the mountain and let them vomit more."
Queen Zhang nodded slightly and comforted her, "Don't worry, my elder brother is still very smart and will understand the emperor's wishes."
Zhu Xu from Jinghuan Palace along the way gradually calmed down and roughly understood the purpose of Zhu Youxiao doing this.
First of all, it is probably a trick to save him. If it is not good for him, you can pretend to be sick and delay it in a way.
Secondly, after discovering this truth, he was not Zhu Youjian, and he did not have that courage. This time, he was definitely not one or two yamen who were affected. If he really wanted to investigate the marriage, he would pull out the robe and bring out the mud. There were probably not many officials in the capital who were clean.
