Chapter 1573: Exhortation
Your Majesty, there is a court battle outside the noon gate, do you know? ”
Emperor Longqing's expression was stunned and said, "Minister of the Imperial Court? When? ”
Luo Xin told the matter again, and Emperor Longqing's face was cloudy. He had already remembered at this time that he must have been scolding and killing those traitors while throwing things in the room, and Feng Bao and the others went out to fight.
Not to mention, Emperor Longqing was still a little moved in his heart at this time, and he felt that Feng Bao and these people were close to him. Seeing the look on Emperor Longqing's face, Luo Xin knew what he was thinking, and sighed in his heart, this Zhu Zaiyuan is also the emperor, if he was in the ordinary people's house, he would have been bullied like a dog a long time ago, or he was sold, and he helped him count the money.
And at this time, Emperor Longqing's face changed, and he remembered that this incident would make Gao Gong's ministers think about himself?
Immediately, his tone was a little stiff and said: "No, they are too bullying me, I just want the five military camps to be in my hands." ”
"The Fifth Army Camp is the Son of Heaven's pro-army."
"But...... Will they listen to me? ”
"You are the emperor, who do they listen to if they don't listen to you?"
"Listen to the Cabinet, huh?" Emperor Longqing gambled.
Luo Xin silently took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to Emperor Longqing. Emperor Longqing took it in confusion, looked down at it, and after reading it, he still looked at Luo Xin with some confusion:
"No, what are you doing with this?"
"Your Majesty knows what this is, right?"
"This is supposed to be the money you got from your inner money, right?"
"Not bad!" Luo Xin nodded and said: "These silver coins are all the silver coins of the city, the mutual market, and these days, the silver money that the inner palace asked for from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, adding up, a total of one hundred and twenty thousand taels. Your Majesty, do you still believe in your ministers? ”
"Of course I do." Emperor Longqing said without hesitation: "If I don't believe in Master Luo, who else can I trust?" ”
"Okay, please Your Majesty immediately seal off the treasury. I don't help His Majesty check the accounts. ”
Emperor Longqing asked with some uncertainty, "You mean that someone is greedy for ink?" ”
"The minister dares to assert." Luo Xin said seriously: "This one hundred and two hundred and eighty thousand taels, Your Majesty doesn't need a fraction. ”
Emperor Longqing's expression changed: "You mean that the rest are greedy for ink?" ”
"Don't you know if you check it?"
"Good!"
Emperor Longqing immediately agreed, and there was a faint anger in his heart, this is all his silver, and he was greedy for ink?
Luo Xin immediately mobilized the accounts of Jinyi Wei and the household department. Liu Shouyou and Xu Shixing had already prepared. didn't let Feng Bao have time, and immediately sealed off the inner treasury.
Inside the main hall.
Several tables were put together, and ten ledgers sat in two rows, each with a ledger and an abacus in front of them, crackling and calculating.
Emperor Longqing was already a little drowsy, and after two hours, the sound of the abacus gradually stopped, and the hall became silent, so that Emperor Longqing suddenly woke up.
An account office stood up and handed a few pages of paper summarized by ten account rooms to Luo Xin, Luo Xin looked at it and handed it to Emperor Longqing, who was looking at this side with blank eyes.
Emperor Longqing hurriedly took the paper, Luo Xin waved his hand, the ten account rooms all retreated, and some little eunuchs also retreated, Feng Bao looked at Luo Xin for help, Luo Xin sighed and said:
"Gonggong Feng, go and close the door of the main hall."
Feng Bao glanced at Luo Xin gratefully, then closed the door and stood in the door with trembling legs. At this time, Emperor Longqing's chest was already rising and falling violently.
In these few months, a total of 1,286,000 taels of silver were collected, and the original 367,000 taels was collected, which added up to 1,653,000 taels. Now there are 181,600 taels in stock, and the rest has been spent.
However, the money spent from the treasury was accounted for, and the ten accounts were all vicious-eyed, listing the inappropriate prices and the suspicious parts. According to these suspicions and estimated accounts, Emperor Longqing spent about 180,000 taels of silver in these three months, and one million taels of silver disappeared silently.
"Your Majesty!" Luo Xin spoke: "These things are easy to check. ”
"Whoa......" Emperor Longqing threw the pieces of paper at Feng Bao, the paper flew in the air, and Emperor Longqing said angrily: "You give me an explanation." ”
"Puff ......"
Feng Bao knelt on the ground, crawled over tremblingly, picked up a few pieces of paper, and looked at them hurriedly, his face became extremely pale, he knew that Luo Xin was right, these are easy to check, as long as you check them one by one, check one by one.
"Your Majesty, this is just a little thing that is greedy for ink." Speaking of this, he waved his hand to Feng Bao and said, "Gonggong Feng, you go down first." ”
"Long live the ......"
"Go down!" Emperor Longqing roared.
"Long live the master, the slave is wrong......" Feng Bao cried bitterly.
Luo Xin looked at Emperor Longqing, and saw that Emperor Longqing's face showed a trace of unbearability, so he knew that Feng Bao had avoided this pass, after all, Feng Bao had accompanied Emperor Longqing from the most difficult life, and Emperor Longqing was generous by nature, if he insisted on dealing with Feng Bao, I was afraid that he would have a dislike with Emperor Longqing, and his heart was racing, so he said:
"Your Majesty, just let Gonggong Feng stay."
Feng Banban looked up at Luo Xin in amazement, and when he saw the gentleness in Luo Xin's eyes, his eyes showed gratitude. Emperor Longqing said angrily:
"Give me an explanation, are these true?"
"Yes...... It's true. ”
Teng Teng Teng ......
Emperor Longqing walked up to Feng Bao, raised his foot and kicked him in the face, knocking Feng Bao to the ground.
"Dog minion, do you want to die?"
"Your Majesty, sit down first, don't be angry."
"Bang!"
Emperor Longqing kicked Feng Bao again, and then he sat down breathlessly, and he didn't dare to look at Luo Xin with some shame.
"Your Majesty!"
"Master Luo!"
"Your Majesty, the minister knows that you have some ...... about governance And there is some ...... for the courtiers of the imperial court."
Although Luo Xin stopped every time he talked about the key point, saving face for Emperor Longqing, no matter how stupid Emperor Longqing was, he knew what Luo Xin meant later, and he couldn't help but blush, isn't this just saying that he is lazy and disgusted with Wenchen?
"However, you are too partial to the eunuchs, and do not pay attention to the minister's practices, the result is that you get the news, all from the eunuchs around you, under the bias of listening and believing, it will inevitably cause more indulgence to the eunuchs around you, so that they infinitely breed arrogant emotions, they will be arrogant, oppress the people, and even violate the ancestral teachings, openly meddle in the six departments. And because of His Majesty's favoritism and connivance, the six dignified and nine kings can't resist a small eunuch.
In the long run, it is likely that the hundred officials will no longer stick to their own hearts, and choose to submit to the eunuchs. Just like the original era of Wang Zhen, Wang Zhi, and Liu Jin. ”
