In June of the fifth year of the Apocalypse (1625), Yan'an was blizzy in March. Jinan flying locusts cover the sky, and the autumn harvest is gone. It was a year of great hunger that caused cannibalism. That month, Cao Erzhen, the new governor of Shaanxi, and officials from all over Shaanxi who asked for disaster relief flew like snowflakes to Beijing.

After receiving the emergency document, Gu Bingqian, the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhu Yanxi, and Wei Guangwei, the second assistant, urgently convened a meeting, and the content of the meeting was naturally to transfer disaster relief silver and grain to Shaanxi, but the problem now is that the imperial court now has only a pitiful warehouse of more than 300,000 taels of silver. And now it is not yet July, and the imperial court still has to rely on this silver to hold on to the autumn grain and field payment and other silver into the warehouse, where can the excess silver come from for disaster relief.

Everyone discussed and discussed, and finally came up with a plan, that is, to ask the Emperor of the Apocalypse to allocate 200,000 taels of silver for disaster relief.

When this ticket for disaster relief was prepared and sent to the celebrant supervisor, Wei Zhongxian almost didn't scold his mother on the spot, these bastards really thought that the emperor's internal money was a cornucopia, and he could have as much as he wanted. Annoyed, Wei Zhongxian sent this discount back to the cabinet without thinking about it, and asked them to find a new way, but it was this discount that caused problems.

Gu Bingqian and the other three cabinet elders in the cabinet were unusually weak when they saw that their votes were going to be beaten back, and they re-drafted the votes and sent them again, Wei Zhongxian was furious and retreated. Gu Bingqian and the three of them sent it again, and then retreated, and finally caused an uproar in the government and the opposition. Hundreds of officials in the court have written to ask the emperor to open the treasury, and pointed out that the Son of Heaven has no selfish wealth, and the people are the people of the Son of Heaven.

After listening to Wei Zhongxian's report, Zhu Youxiao, who was in the carpenter's room, pondered for a long time before he said: "Wei Zhongxian, you immediately ordered that 200,000 taels of silver from the interior be sent to Shaanxi for disaster relief, and it must be transported to Shaanxi within half a month. ”

As soon as he heard that Zhu Youxiao was going to transfer money from the treasury again, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, but you don't have much silver in your treasury anymore." If you transfer any more money from your inner money, your inner money will be empty. ”

Zhu Youxiao asked: "How much silver do I have in my current money?" ”

Wei Zhongxian said without thinking: "There are more than 387,600 taels of silver. ”

"Tune ......" Zhu Youxiao snorted: "As the Son of Heaven, why do I keep so much silver?" Didn't those people say, the Son of Heaven has no selfish wealth, hehe...... That's a good point. ”

Seeing Zhu Youxiao's expression, Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to say anything on the side, he knew Zhu Youxiao's temper very well, you must know that Tianqi is a person with a good temper, he rarely gets angry on weekdays, and now he actually said such a thing, it can be seen that he is really angry.

The atmosphere in the carpenter's room was silent for a while, and finally Zhu Youxiao picked up the planer on the ground and prepared to work, and waved his left hand to signal Wei Zhongxian to go out.

Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to slack off, so he took a few steps back and was about to leave, when suddenly a slightly sharp voice came from behind him.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

As the voice fell, a woman's figure appeared in the carpenter's room.

The woman had an oval duck egg face, and wore a long red Luo skirt, a red and green skirt, woven with gold and colored cloud dragon patterns, and a yellow and green embroidered border Bixia Luo brocade. The soft green silk combs a flying cloud oblique bun, and a pair of treasure pattern cloud boots on his feet, the whole person looks beautiful and dignified, this person is Zhu Youxiao's wife, that is, Zhang Yan, who is known as Queen Yi'an in the later world.

Zhang Yan walked into the carpenter's room accompanied by four palace maids, Wei Zhongxian's face changed slightly after seeing Zhang Yan, and then he quickly bowed his head and said, "Slave Wei Zhongxian has seen the queen's mother." ”

In the face of Wei Zhongxian's salute, Zhang Yan just nodded lightly, and then walked to Zhu Youxiao's side and came to a thousand blessings: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty." ”

Seeing Zhang Yan come in, Zhu Youxiao stood up and took Zhang Yan's hand and said with a smile: "Zitong, why did you come here today." ”

Zhang Yanyan smiled: "Your Majesty, today the concubines were talking to a few sisters in the palace, but unexpectedly, the chief eunuch in the palace, Wang Tiqian, came to report that it was a guard in Nanjing that the commander of the Nanjing town guard Cao Dazhong sent something to the concubine, and the concubines looked at it with curiosity. ”

"Oh...... What was sent by a guard commander in Nanjing? ”

Zhu Youxiao knew who had sent the things as soon as he heard it, he stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go...... Let's take a look. ”

A few people walked out of the carpenter's room and came to Zhu Youxiao's imperial study, only to see that the originally spacious imperial study was actually full of a bunch of things, the most conspicuous of which was an unusually conspicuous self-striking bell. This chiming bell is golden as if the gold is more than one person high, its appearance is a building type, surrounded by two golden dragons outside, is swallowing clouds and spitting fog to make the appearance of two dragons playing with pearls, it looks not only atmospheric but also unusually magnificent, Zhu Youxiao liked it as soon as he saw it. He walked over to the chiming bell and looked around it, a look of joy in his eyes.

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was so happy, Zhang Yan asked with a smile on the side: "Your Majesty, is this thing the rumored self-striking bell?" ”

"Exactly!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled and nodded: "This thing is the chiming bell, from Obaro, it was first introduced to my Daming by the priest Luo Mingjian in the eighth year of Wanli, but the chiming bell has long been broken, and now there are some fragments left." Last time I went to Nanjing, I mentioned it to Yang Feng, but he actually sent it. ”

The last time Zhu Youxiao went to Nanjing without permission, he didn't hide it from Zhang Yan, so Zhang Yan didn't feel surprised when she heard it. She asked with some curiosity: "Your Majesty, is Yang Feng the commander of Jiang Ningwei who sent the bell from Ming?" ”

"Exactly!" Zhu Youxiao immediately sighed lightly: "Yang Feng is a talented person. It's a pity that I talked to him once, hoping to transfer him to the capital, but he refused without thinking. ”

"Oh, he refused." Zhang Yan couldn't help but feel a burst of surprise, knowing that how many people are eager to enter Beijing to take up a position, this Yang Feng actually refused, which is really strange.

Wei Zhongxian on the side also felt a burst of surprise in his heart, he didn't know about this matter, so it can be seen that Zhu Youxiao must have said it to Yang Feng privately, His Majesty really values that Yang Feng, thinking of this, even Wei Zhongxian felt a burst of jealousy.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian suddenly interjected: "Your Majesty, it seems that you don't know yet, the slave heard a rumor, that Yang Feng now has a table character, and his table name is called Zhongqing." ”

Zhu Youxiao was stunned: "Zhongqing? Yang Zhongqing? ”
