Chapter 089
Faced with the rule of placing 30% of the treasury withholding 30%, Chongzhen blushed at the time, but turned to Wang Chengen and shouted: "Is this really the case?"
Wang Chengen immediately understood that it was the master who asked him to take the blame, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "It's all the treasury that the treasury is tight. I will first allocate 30,000 taels of silver. The rest is to be given when I am more affordable. Please let the emperor take a closer look."
This sentence is the best and the cleanest.
Zhao Xing did not grasp this point, but directly met the old official from Shandong: "But he didn't say that the 20,000 taels were owed first. Did you really get 30,000 taels?"
The Shandong officials also felt that they were reckless, but at this time they could only grit their teeth and admit it, otherwise they would be entangled with this big partner: "Yes."
Zhao Xing smiled and nodded: "Then I ask you, when you sent out of Beijing, it was only 20,000 taels." Then he shook his fingers directly: "When I left the city gate, my Jinyiwei had a record, and we had ironclad evidence."
The Jinyiwei and the Wucheng Bingmasi jointly collected taxes in Beijing's Sijiu City. This is an important income from the national treasury and a checkpoint for strictly investigating contraband. Such large amounts of money are registered in detail, and this old man cannot deny it.
Zhao Xing spoke of the Jinyiwei. He wanted to tell Emperor Chongzhen subtly that our Jinyiwei was watching your money for you.
The Shandong Officer immediately said with confidence, "That ten thousand votes are gone."
The reason why he said so righteous is that this matter has become a common thing. Everyone does this, and the things he has to keep their hands on must be kept.
But he forgot that the things that have been agreed upon are not laws, and those who have made the right points are in the right places. Some places are rules, but some places are sins, not rules, but deductions, and greed, just like in this hall now.
Zhao Xing chased after him: "What is the vote?"
"Water, Fire, Rat, Bird."
Zhao Xing shouted: "I don't know whether the ticket is not or the corruption is withheld. I just said that the superiors allocated it to you and you escorted it out of Beijing. It took only one day in the middle, but a flood and fire broke out? According to the records of my Jinyiwei, there is no."
At that time, the officer was speechless.
"Silver is silver. Do mice eat it? Do birds eat it? It doesn't mean it, I think some people eat it anyway."
Just this sentence made the official sweat.
Chongzhen stood up in anger at that time. It was too much to be furious. The corruption and embezzlement had already embezzled on his head. This was great: "Don't say it anymore, Luo Yangling."
Luo Yangxing, who had just pretended to be sleeping sweetly, immediately stepped forward: "I'm here."
"You immediately take this guy who dares to embezzle openly and be punished severely. Ask me, where did that ten thousand silver go? How much did he embezzle? It must be strictly handled."
Luo Yangxing was extremely happy and loudly obeyed the order. Before the gray-faced guy could shout for justice, Luo Yangxing greeted the Jinyiwei who was on duty outside the hall and dragged him out and went to prison. The Jinyiwei and the Beizhen Fushi are here to buy and sell.
"Emperor, the rest do not need to be reported one by one by one. Mao Shuai is in a tight position. Please ask the emperor to increase the food and salary. Otherwise, Dongjiang Town will not be protected, and North Korea will not be protected." Shen Guangzuo knelt down and begged.
Zhao Xing took a step forward and kept a close eye on it, repeatedly reminding the tragedy that will happen in the future: "Once Dongjiang Town is lost, the Ming Dynasty will no longer restrain the power behind the Later Jin Dynasty. At that time, the Later Jin Jiannu either directly conquered North Korea, or drew troops to detour through Outer Mongolia to invade the capital, and the consequences will be unimaginable."
Chongzhen seemed not to listen to what Zhao Xing said seriously, but when he saw the pitiful appearance of the old Chen Guangzuo and heard him report Mao Wenlong's miserable situation, Chongzhen sighed helplessly: "Luo Aiqing."
Luo Yangxing stepped forward excitedly again. What he was excited about was that he had been called twice today, which means that the emperor began to value himself again.
"Quickly recover the ten thousand silver swallowed by Shandong personnel."
"I obey the order."
"Wang Cheng'en."
"I'm here."
"Please pay the 20,000 silver I owe, and then, then give the 30,000 silver--" Look at Luo Yangxing again, Luo Yangxing obeyed the order.
"Send a team of Jinyiwei to personally escort Mao Shuai in Dongjiang Town. As long as Mao Shuai's receipt is short of one or two, all of them will be executed."
This order has clearly shown that Chongzhen no longer believes in the civil service procedures and has begun to believe in the Jinyiwei again.
And from this arrangement, many officials felt glad for Shandong officials, and they were glad that Chongzhen seemed to no longer pursue the 20,000 taels of silver that Shandong had greedy for.
Zhao Xing was very unwilling, but he was also very pleased. What he was unwilling to be cheaper was that the corrupt officials in Shandong were dared to blatantly even save their lives. What was gratifying was that Chongzhen was still a little mature. He did not immediately cause a major earthquake in the officialdom in Shandong. When Shandong assisted in defending the capital in the future, there would not be no one available, which was a coincidence.
Zhao Xing really didn't expect that he would stand up for Mao Wenlong and would have such a happy result. This not only alleviated Mao Wenlong's economic situation, but also changed his position in the emperor's heart, so as to avoid immortality in June.
As for this inexplicable incident, he offended the entire Shandong group, but Zhao Xing is not concerned now. Originally, the Jinyiwei was not in the way of dealing with the civil servant group, and he was a mortal enemy. Who would offend him not offend?
It’s time to go, who is still afraid of whom? You bite me, and I bite me firmly, and I bite me even harder. In just two days, when two people attacked me, they smashed their rice bowls. I asked if you are afraid? Are you afraid? Let’s continue fighting.
Now Zhao Xing suddenly felt full of confidence. When facing the ministers, he really felt confused when he drew his sword and looked around. He was confused. Who jumped out next, who was? Which one?
As Zhao Xing looked at him, he clearly felt that those first-rank officials and second-rank bosses, facing their own gazes, began to feel nervous and began to roam. In their opinion, fighting with this young man would be shameless if he won the battle without martial arts, and if he lost the battle, he would be shameless. This young man did not talk about martial ethics.
So, just as Zhao Xing drew his sword and looked for his opponent, the chief assistant Zhou Daodeng stood up again: "Report to the emperor, Yuan Chonghuan, the commander, please transfer three million silver to military pay, and please pay quickly, otherwise there will be a mutiny in the Guanning Army in western Liaoning."
This was originally a common method to divert attention, but this clay Bodhisattva has mediocre ability and no eyes. It’s time to ask Yuan Chonghuan for military pay and ask for three million at once. Isn’t that adding fuel to the fire?
As expected, Chongzhen, who was so angry and impulsive, rushed directly into his forehead with an evil fire and jumped up at that time. He shouted nervously: "Didn't I give him enough 4 million last year? It's just the beginning of the year, why do you want it again?" Then he suddenly sneered, his tone full of distrust: "Is it the same deduction as the money given to Mao Shuai?"
As soon as these words were said, the palace was full of shame and the ministers dared not speak. Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Lai Zongdao quickly came out to explain: "This silver is related to the life and death of the country, and no one dared to deduct it harshly."
Chongzhen sneered angrily: "Then I wonder, Mao Shuai from Dongjiang Town, without the support of the imperial court's money and grain, was able to fight from autumn until now, and had to drag his corpse to fight. The first year I took 4 million silver, with sufficient soldiers and enough food, and had not fought with Jiannu for two years. Why did he suddenly make one? If I don't approve funds, the Guanning Iron Cavalry will mutiny?"
At this time, Zhao Xing, who had actually offended Yuan Chonghuan, made up his mind to save people to the end and provoke people to the end. He completely alienated Chongzhen from Yuan Chonghuan. Perhaps he could save Mao Wenlong, who was behind the Later Jin Dynasty, and save the Ming Dynasty.
So, just in Chongzhen's rhetoric, Zhao Xing whispered: "Haunty."
The sound was not loud, because he was close to Emperor Chongzhen, and Emperor Chongzhen immediately heard it sincerely.
