Only then did Zhu Linmiao notice that the outside of the palace seemed to be extremely lively, and there were a lot of people gathered.

He glanced at Shi Lin and gestured in the direction of the mansion gate. The latter hurriedly leaned over and whispered: "Lord Hui, they are all officials of the DPRK and China, some of them are waiting outside early in the morning, and most of them are coming with the people of the Ministry of Rites. ”

Zhu Linmiao frowned, and knelt down to receive the holy decree first.

Li Guangchun, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, immediately unfolded the yellow silk and began to read aloud the lengthy holy decree, quoting scriptures and scriptures, and the rhetoric was gorgeous. In a nutshell, it is to commend a series of military exploits made by King Chen in Jiangxi and Fujing, and to emphasize the pacification of the Tang Dynasty coup d'état. After that, it was a big praise for Chen Wang, Wentao, Wu Strategy, Simin, and so on.

When Zhu Linmiao was a little drowsy, he heard Li Guangchun read: "When the society is in danger, it is necessary for the sage to lead the ministers, govern and act, and reach Zhongxing with the son of heaven, and now look at the world, only King Chen has this virtue, and he adds King Chen as the auxiliary king, and he is ...... to plan politics."

Vice-Chancellor? Zhu Linmiao's heart jumped, this is a high position above 10,000 people under one person, no, if the son is still young today, it can be said that it is not even under one person, it is directly above 10,000 people!

He just entered Tianxing Mansion yesterday, and today he will be promoted to auxiliary political king, which he did not expect. But after thinking about it for a while, he immediately understood that now that Zhu Yuao has fallen, the Empress Dowager Zeng is in a very poor mental state, and the entire Taizheng Dynasty has no backbone!

It is because everyone is looking forward to the emergence of a strong ruler to unite the scattered court and maintain the great tomorrow. Otherwise, at this time, the situation of the lord and the country is suspicious, and the coup d'état has been experienced, and Mo said that there is still Jianyu who is ready to invade the south at any time, and there will be no foreign enemies, and the Taizheng Dynasty is afraid that it will also face the disaster of falling apart.

And looking at Tianxing Mansion, it is really difficult to find such a person for a while. It happened that he defeated Zhang An and Su Ping at this time, and led the Dragon Guard army into the city to show his might, coupled with the previous defeat of Jianyu, even if the courtiers wanted to recommend others, they did not dare to put it forward.

In fact, just as Zhu Linmiao expected, on this day alone, hundreds of pieces have been handed to the cabinet, all of which are invited by Chen Wang to assist the government. And the number of officials who signed and signed these medals is in the hundreds.

Zhu Linmiao suddenly felt that the blood all over her body was boiling.

Isn't the current situation exactly what he wants?!

The course and lessons of the rise and fall of all countries and nations since the 17th century, countless science and technology far ahead of this era, a large number of analyses and suggestions on the disadvantages of the Ming and late Ming dynasties, and the advanced experience of social development in later generations are all stored in his mind.

With these "magic weapons", coupled with the power of the Ming dynasty, he has absolute confidence to lead the Ming Dynasty out of the fate of destruction!

No, it's not just that it won't perish! The brilliance in his eyes flashed, and the Ming Dynasty will surely create an unprecedented prosperous era in his own hands, leaving all opponents far away from all aspects such as economy, culture, science and technology, and finally becoming the core of the whole world!

“…… I hope that King Chen will live up to his grace. Chin this. ”

At this time, Li Guangchun finished announcing the holy decree and respectfully handed over the roll of yellow satin. Zhu Linmiao's chest was full of pride, he stretched out his hand to take it, and said in a deep voice: "Minister, lead the order!" ”

When he stood up, handed over the holy decree to Shi Lin beside him, and listened to Li Guangchun say: "His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King, although it is a little hasty, when the country is in danger, it may be as soon as possible. Qin Tianjian has been investigated, and the day after tomorrow will be an auspicious time. The Ministry of Rites wants to prepare for the canonization ceremony in the Fengtian Temple at this time, does Your Highness think it is appropriate? ”

"Canonization?" Zhu Linmiao frowned and said, "How much silver is the Ministry of Rites going to put in?" ”

Li Guangchun said carefully: "Back to Your Highness, the treasury is empty right now, and you can only take out 10,000 taels ......"

Zhu Linmiao patted him on the shoulder, "Since you know that the treasury is empty, why do you spend 10,000 taels of silver to make it empty?" Save it, there are more places to spend money. ”

"This," Li Guangchun was stunned, and then arched his hand, "The lower official obeys the order." ”

Zhu Linmiao sent Li Guangchun and other officials of the Ministry of Rites who issued the decree to the door, and saw that there was a sea of people outside the palace gate, all of whom were important members of the court and the central government.

When the officials saw King Chen coming out, they quickly lined up on both sides of the road according to their ranks, and then knelt down and shouted, "Meet His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King!" "But it seems that he has already learned the news that Zhu Linmiao was sealed.

After being a vassal king for more than half a year, Zhu Linmiao was quite familiar with dealing with this kind of scene, and raised his hand and said, "Lords, please get up." ”

"Your Highness."

Zhu Linmiao looked at these courtiers, and when they all came to congratulate him on his "ascension" and became familiar with each other by the way, he wanted to order them to disperse. There is still a mess in the palace, not to mention the lack of maids and servants, I am afraid that there may not even be tea to entertain these hundreds of people.

Unexpectedly, someone turned around and came out of the ranks, arching his hands and saying loudly: "Your Highness is in a hurry!" ”

"You are?" Zhu Linmiao looked at him in surprise, "What do you want to say here?" ”

"Lin Zunbin, the servant of the lower official household department." The man hurriedly said, "There is a great drought in southern Fujian, and hunger is everywhere...... Xia Guan has repeatedly submitted a table to ask the court for disaster relief, but he has never received a follow-up. At present, the lands of southern Fujian have already changed their children and eaten, and when the disaster relief is delayed, thousands of people will starve to death! His Majesty asks His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King to order the allocation of silver as soon as possible, and if it is too late, I am afraid that the people will change! ”

Zhu Linmiao saw Lin Zunbin's anxious expression, and couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, the Empress Dowager Zeng and the Tang King only cared about fighting for power, and the major matters of people's livelihood were completely forgotten. Especially Zhu Yuao, his subordinates have bright armor, and they should have invested a lot of silver into it, but they are unwilling to give half a tael to disaster relief.

He asked Lin Zunbin, "How much silver is still in the account of the household department?" ”

Lin Zunbin whispered: "There are still 11,000 taels left......

It's really poor enough, and the Daming treasury is not as thick as an ordinary businessman's family. Zhu Linmiao shook his head in his heart, and asked again: "How much silver is needed for disaster relief?" ”

Lin Zunbin thought for a moment and said, "Back to Your Highness, it will cost at least 700,000 taels." ”

700,000 taels sounds like a lot of money, but in fact it fell on the heads of the 7.8 million victims in southern Fujian, less than one tael per person, and at this time there were still more than three months before the autumn harvest.

But if the disaster relief money does not come again, it is very likely that another Li Zicheng will appear in Fujing, which has just been pacified.

Lin Zunbin immediately added, "You can raise disaster relief funds in the name of the imperial court, and then use salt as collateral to owe a batch of grain and rice on credit from northern Fujian, or you can ......."

"No need," Zhu Linmiao shook his head and said, "Soon there will be 500,000 taels of silver in the household account, and it will be used for disaster relief first." The rest is coming soon. ”

Zhu Linmiao said that there are still many traitors' homes that have not been copied, and it is not trivial to make two or three hundred thousand taels.

Lin Zunbin never thought that King Chen would be so generous, and he would give 500,000 taels if he said it, he was overjoyed, got up and said, "Your Highness Xie!" The next official went to prepare for disaster relief. ”
