The night is getting deeper, the wine in Xianju Lou is getting stronger, the people inside are shouting endlessly, the streets outside are full of cars and horses, all of them are waiting for some bigwigs' families, and the nearby residents and pedestrians can't help but stop and watch, but they dare not approach, because there are more than ten brocade guards guarding the door of Xianju Building, and people should not approach.

In the Forbidden City, Emperor Chongzhen of the Qianqing Palace was chatting with Empress Zhou: "The prince is about to leave Beijing in the near future, Ming'er, you have to give advice, he listens to you more than me, who is a father."

Queen Zhou smiled: "It's not that he doesn't listen to you, it's that you are too strict with him, he is a little afraid of you" said and sighed: "You are really relieved that he will go out, if the soldiers outside are chaotic...... Bah, this Chang Yu asked him to go out and follow again...... It's true."

Emperor Chongzhen sighed slightly: "Chang Yu is right, the frogs raised in the deep palace are either frogs at the bottom of the well or greenhouse flowers that are weak and can't help the wind, I will be able to conquer the four seas in the future, and there will be an emperor who has been refined into steel to look down on the world" said: "If I don't want to go out for a walk if I am not restrained by state affairs" Seeing that Queen Zhou was worried, she comforted: "Don't worry, he will send a personal guard to protect him when he leaves the palace, and he can't get out of the chaos."

"That being said, it's always uneasy to be without Chang Yu accompanying the concubines," Queen Zhou sighed: "As long as Chang Yu is with him, even if he is with the army, the concubines are at ease."

Emperor Chongzhen laughed: "The courtiers all say that I favor Chang Yu, but in fact, you are the one who favors him the most."

"Chang Yu is the lucky star of our family, only he sincerely contributes to the Ming Dynasty and our family, and the concubines believe in him" Queen Zhou snorted and said: "Those who talk nonsense are red-eyed, they want to be able to spoil them like Chang Yu's concubines, but it's a pity that they wish our old Zhu family was unlucky."

"Yes, if it is very Yu, our old Zhu family will not know what the situation is" Although Emperor Chongzhen is suspicious by nature, no one is guarded, but he is still grateful to Chang Yu, and then he thought of something and couldn't help laughing: "What kind of Daming money village did he make, you actually followed the mix, and even learned to sell words, and you are not afraid of other people's jokes when you take out that word."

"Whoever loves jokes will laugh, and there is no shame in making money" Queen Zhou pouted: "Although there is still more than enough, there is not much left, and this year, the Huangzhuang has all lost its harvest, if it is not open source, I am afraid that it will not be able to survive the end of the year, Chang Yu will make money, there is a way, and there is no shame in the serious business of not stealing or robbing."

Emperor Chongzhen agrees with this, Chang Yu is very good at making money, and he got tens of millions of taels in just a few months, but most of them went into the treasury, and very few of them went into the treasury, which is slightly different from Wei Zhongxian's back then, that is, only the tea tax can give the royal family nearly one million a year, but it was also unanimously opposed by the government and the opposition, after all, it is too ugly to compete with the people for the benefit of the emperor, the rich country and the poor food.

Therefore, now the tea tax and the increase in commercial tax have been put into the treasury, and the emperor has fallen less than 10%, and the tax has been confiscated because of the war in the past few months.

Although Chang Yu also made a lot of personal money for him during this time, the expenses of tens of thousands of royal families are also large, and it is obvious that he cannot make ends meet, and his trouser belt is tightened.

In fact, not only the royal treasury, but also the treasury seems to have a new income of tens of millions, but as soon as the food and salary in various places are issued, and the war and disaster relief in the five northern provinces are required for money, there is very little left, and the hair of the household secretary is almost wiped out by himself.

"This kid is going to make money, but sometimes he is too anxious, and the imposition of tea tax and the increase in commercial tax have attracted constant opposition from the DPRK and China, and he proposed to me the day before yesterday to tax the temple! Hehe, the money received from the Buddha."

"Ah, that's not good" Queen Zhou was very surprised, and she was only afraid of disrespecting the gods......

"Chang Yu said that the family pays attention to the four major emptiness, the six roots are pure, since they have jumped out of the Three Realms, why do they still take advantage of the world, enjoy the people's incense has changed to contentment, but they occupy countless temple properties and do not pay taxes, it is unreasonable." Emperor Chongzhen smiled: "Do you say that this kid's mouth is too poisonous."

"Then, what does the emperor think" Empress Zhou was slightly worried.

"I plan to discuss with the cabinet before making a decision, inevitably another war of words" Emperor Chongzhen shrugged, and Empress Zhou sighed: "I'm afraid that not only the cabinet ministers, but also the court officials will oppose it."

Emperor Chongzhen sighed: "It doesn't matter who is against it, this is actually a wrist break, and in the end the thick arm wins, as long as Chang Yu wins the southern expedition, I will have the confidence to win."

Stars began to appear in Empress Zhou's eyes, and the emperor had really changed.

Chang Yu was drunk, and he drank a fragment for the first time after the crossing, and he didn't know when he returned to the yamen.

Early in the morning, Song Luoshu, who was on duty outside, heard a loud roar inside: "Hold the grass" thought something was wrong, pushed the door in, but saw the little eunuch holding his head, who said that the food and wine were not up.

Headache like cracking.

"If I drink in the future, I'm the grandson," Chang Yu raised his head from the basin of cold water and yelled, causing the attendants in the courtyard to laugh endlessly.

After cup of hangover tea, he finally got better in the middle of the afternoon, and Chunxin came back from outside and whispered to him: "The emperor summoned the three princes of Joseon, appeased and rewarded him to return to China tomorrow."

"Tell Wu Mengming to let him do things without leaking" Chang Yu rubbed his head and said lightly, and took a long breath: "I also have to go far away."

"Where are you going?" Chunxiang was stunned.

Chang Yu glanced left and right: "Outside the gate, this matter is extremely confidential and must not be leaked." Chunxiang nodded and didn't ask him what he was going to do.

Then Chang Yu summoned Wu Zhong and asked him how he was recovering, Wu Zhong didn't say much, raised his head and kicked the stone bench next to him off: "Do you want to practice?" Chang Yu shook his head and shouted: "A pair of handmade stone benches by famous craftsmen, the price is one hundred taels, and Chunxiang will remember it for him."

Depend on! Wu Zhong can't wait to pump himself a few big mouths, why is he so owed.

Chang Yu looked at his aggrieved look and pouted: "The dignified imperial gift with a knife is one hundred and eighty taels."

"Poor, very bad, this is a big house, and the lowly job wants to buy a house and marry a daughter-in-law" Wu Zhong covered his face and looked loveless.

"You can get it, your daughter-in-law is rich and oily, not bad for your house" Chang Yu rolled his eyes and beckoned to Wu Zhong, and said in a low voice: "How about accompanying our family on a long trip and coming back to reward you for the house?" ”

Wu Zhong was overjoyed, and he didn't ask Chang Yu where he was going.

Chang Yu immediately ordered Wu Zhong, Qiao Sanxiu, Guo Ren and the personal guard Chen Sole, and the Chen Ruxin brothers led the personal guard to prepare for the entourage, and then went out of the yamen to go to the Fusi of Chaojin Yiwei North Town.

He didn't come to Jinyiwei Yamen to find Wu Mengming, the goods may not have sobered up yet, but to meet an old friend, the prince of the Manchu Qing Kingdom, Azig.

Azig has lost a lot of weight and is a lot haggard, his beard is sloppy and his clothes are ragged, and he looks no different from the refugee beggars outside, but his eyes are still bright, especially when he sees Chang Yu, they are all shining.

"But you want to release this king? Little eunuch, little eunuch, isn't it? The iron shackles rattled, and Chang Yu stepped forward and slapped Azig's eyes: "It's rude!" ”

Azig was furious: "You can kill but not humiliate, and you dare to insult the king as a dog eunuch."

"As you wish" Chang Yu sneered: "Someone came and dragged it out to peel off the skin and cut it" Behind him, the Jinyi guard was ordered to come up and take people, Azig was startled, don't don't, I want to see the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chang, Chang Gonggong, there is something to say, disturb the people......

"Forced" Chang Yu rolled his eyes and pouted: "Take it away."

"Don't kill me, I'm ......still useful," Azig cried, his legs were weak, and he was dragged out of prison by Jinyiwei with a hood.
