Chapter 21 Preparations for departure
It was already June in a blink of an eye, and it was less than half a month before the vassal period. It was time to pack up. Although there was only one princess in Zhu Youjian's mansion, there were many miscellaneous things. The eunuchs and guards in the Ten Princes' Mansion wanted to follow Zhu Youjian north, but the palace maids were all from the palace. After Zhu Youjian left, he had to go back to the palace to listen.
On that day, Zhu Youjian was in charge of the office in the backyard to clean up the things in the study. The servants in the office said that a small official from the Ministry of Revenue was waiting in the main hall. It should be related to the reward of silver for his fiefdom. Zhu Youjian followed the servants to the main hall.
I saw an official who was about thirty years old, sitting in the hall with no tea. Seeing that Zhu You were found out, the official stood up and said, "My dear Mr. Lu Xiangsheng, the official, met the prince. The emperor's silver reward department, has counted the money and brought it to the prince's mansion. The prince will see if there are any mistakes."
Zhu Youjian said: "It's really annoying that all the officials of the Ministry of Revenue have troubled Xiao Wang. This is to ask someone to hand over the silver into the warehouse. Lord Lu please wait a moment." After that, he ordered Wang Chengen to ask the guards to go outside the mansion to put the silver into the warehouse.
It is said that in the three years of Qing Dynasty magistrate, there were 100,000 snowflakes. Zhu Youjian had never seen what a hundred thousand taels of silver looked like. He pretended to be in the silver warehouse and directed the guards to unload the silver from the car and count the amount. In fact, he was stunned.
In the Ming Dynasty, weighing was sixteen taels per catty, and tens of thousands of taels of silver was more than three tons. In addition, the silver was newly cast, and each ingot was lit up under the sun. Unload a few trucks of silver and repack it, without any mistakes.
Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to come out at first, but when he saw Zhu You found out, he was not in the main hall, so he came out as well. Seeing that the 100,000 taels of silver were entered into the Zhao King's treasury, Lu Xiangsheng felt sad. His Ministry of Revenue only had four million taels of silver a year, and could not use military pay, repair the Yellow River, and disaster relief, but these princes often had tens of thousands of taels.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng was too lazy to greet Zhu Youjian again. Seeing that the silver was counted, he hurriedly stood up to say goodbye.
Zhu Youjian looked at Lu Xiangsheng's leaving figure playfully, and it seemed that this person didn't like him. Although Zhu Youjian was silent just now, the three words Lu Xiangsheng had been engraved in his mind.
Lu Xiangsheng, whose courtesy name was Jiandou, was attacked by Chongzhen for the twelve years. Before the war, he ordered that "the sword will show blood, the person will show wounds, and the horse will show sweat." In the end, the artillery was completely wiped out, and the reinforcements were postponed and they died in a fierce battle. Such a fierce man was definitely his future important minister, but his status was limited, so he would use it in the future.
Two days later, the money in the inner treasury was also delivered, and this time it was more, a total of 400,000 taels. The empty treasury filled up instantly, and the confidence to go to Liaodong was finally there.
However, since Wei Zhongxian killed Yang Lian and others, the Donglin Party has disappeared, so the court naturally had a good idea. But on this day, Wei Zhongxian recruited Cui Chengxiu, Wang Tiqian and others to the mansion to discuss matters.
Seeing that several of his best friends had arrived, Wei Zhongxian sat up and said, "Everyone, the chaotic family has finally turned over. But the chaotic family has received news. We are facing a disaster! Do you guys know?"
Wang Tiqian smiled and said, "Mr. Wei is now turning his hands around and turning his hands around and turning his hands into rain. Who dares to make ground on Mr. Wei's head!"
A few people who were stingy were already shouting: "Who dares to stumbling up the Eunuch Wei, our brothers will destroy him for the factory. If you don't say much, Xu Xianchun will let him go and be protected by the custody, he will be honest."
Cui Chengxiu frowned when she heard this. These idiots were not enough to make trouble. The factory said it was difficult, so why are you yelling?
After a few turns of his mind, a figure gradually became clearer. Cui Chengxiu said: "What the factory said is Sun Chengzong, the Liaodong governor?"
When they heard Sun Chengzong's name, those who shouted immediately shut up. You must know that this lord is not comparable to those ministers of the court. His Majesty was the prince's master when he was the prince, and now he has made many military achievements in Liaodong. If he is more than 100,000 soldiers under his command, if he is ungrateful, he will be able to suffer a few outlaws in the army.
Finally, there was a clear mind. Wei Zhongxian said: "That's right! Sun Chengzong held the power of the Liaodong governor, and there were more than 100,000 troops in his hands. Originally, the Zajia didn't want to do anything, but a few days ago, the Dongchang manuscript reported that when the Zajia remanded Donglin, he actually wanted to lead troops to Beijing to impeach Zajia. Fortunately, his Majesty asked Zajia to make excuses and did not let him go to Beijing, otherwise you and I would have a good time!"
