Wu Fu came directly, and Zhu Cihong was also relaxed. If it's any red tape, he'll be a little scared. But this topic ......

What is he afraid of?

Isn't it just money, there is. At that moment, Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "How much silver do you want to prepare?" ”

"The amount of money spent, I'm afraid it is the minimum of two or three hundred thousand silver to be prepared." Wu Fu was ruthless and reported such a number.

"Okay." Zhu Cihong's reply was also decisive: "It's more beautiful." In particular, the Jingshi Palace is also carefully repaired. All the expenses of the father and the emperor are spacious. My father has been diligent for sixteen years, and there can be no grievances. ”

Zhu Cihong didn't say it carefully enough, but the meaning was faintly clear.

Seeing that Zhu Cihong was very filial, Wu Fu appreciated it in his heart, but he still couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"Your Highness, the household department has come to fight a war through Jiannu, and it is already difficult to raise the military resources of King Qin's army...... I'm afraid ......" Wu Fu looked at Zhu Cihong hesitantly.

"So I gave the treasury 300,000 taels to prepare." Zhu Cihong glanced at it, paused, and said, "Wait......"

Wu Fu was just surprised that Zhu Cihong had made up this number so "honestly", but when he heard Zhu Cihong's words in the second half, his heart suddenly cooled.

Our crown prince won't be poor and generous, just his mouth is powerful, and he will be discouraged if he really gives money?

You know, he came to Zhu Cihong to ask for money. It is not up to Zhu Cihong to decide how much money to spend in the treasury.

With a sigh in his heart, Wu Fu couldn't help but comfort himself. That's right, as soon as the cannon sounded, there were ten thousand taels of gold, and there were big battles one after another. Don't talk about how much silver it will cost to restore combat strength in the future, let's talk about the cross-sea expedition ahead. It must have made Zhu Cihong's pockets empty.

Just when Wu Fu was thinking about it, Zhu Cihong said quietly: "300,000 taels." You're probably a compressed number, right? No, time is running out. I will grant you 500,000 taels, and the Nanjing cabinet will quickly send people to the household department, and will not let any deductions be made from it. This enthronement ceremony, no matter what, will be held for me beautifully, beautifully! ”

"Yes!" Wu Fu's heart fell back into his stomach, and he was so happy that he almost wanted to jump.

"Wait......" Zhu Cihong stopped again.

Wu Fu looked at Zhu Cihong in a daze, and before he could think nonsense, Zhu Cihong spoke quickly this time: "There have always been rewards and other things when a new monarch ascends the throne. Not to mention the pardon of death row prisoners. The arrears of civil and military officials are rewarded, and they are to be rewarded according to the rules. You make a list, make a plan, and present it. In addition, Hongu also plans to add something new. If you defeat Jiannu in this battle, you will give the officials of the world war zone a reward of one month! The salaries of the whole army were suspended, and they were cleaned up again. Well, that's all for now. ”

Wu Fu's eyes widened, and Fang Cai's cranky guess suddenly fell, and he stared at Zhu Cihong in a daze. His heart was full of disbelief, and in good faith, Wu Fu said: "Your Highness, the treasury is not very rich. I heard that the same is true of Neku. This post-war expenditure is already a lot of food, and then it ...... It's ...... like this."

The temperament of the prince in front of him made Wu Fu startled, but he was not a good-looking and self-serving. The ascension to the throne is certainly a good thing. As a rule, you have to do face-saving work to collect your heart, but that's not now.

This is not 500,000 taels of silver that can be raised by squeezing it. The arrears of salaries of the Ming Dynasty officials are not a small number. If it is to make up the salaries of the officials in Beijing, the salaries of more than 10,000 officials. It's kind of imaginary.

But if all the officials in the country wanted to make up for it, Wu Fu swore that he had never touched this thought. It's just too impossible!

What's more, there are officials in the world's war zones who add double money, and this treasury is not an ATM, where can it be conjured up with silver?

"Elder Ge, if you are worried, let's talk about a number for the time being. For example, in the order of urgency, first calculate the arrears and the double salaries that should be issued by the Beijing officials of the Beijing Division, how much silver is needed? Si En smiled and eased the atmosphere.

Wu Fu decided to tell the truth and dispel the unrealistic thoughts of the crown prince, and said: "There are tens of thousands of officials in the Beijing Division, regardless of military salaries, but they should also prepare military rations. If you follow His Highness's method to reward the world, you must at least prepare...... Prepare for ......"

Zhu Cihong smiled shallowly, staring leisurely at the outside of the hall, and his mind didn't know where it had drifted. Wu Fu thought that Zhu Cihong was distracted, but unexpectedly, Zhu Cihong said leisurely: "Just say." ”

"At least, add another million taels! In addition, it is not possible to have bare silver. There was no shortage of rich people in Gyeongshi, but after the war, Gyeonggi's vitality was greatly damaged. Tongzhou is dilapidated, and the transfer of materials has become a problem. There must be physical goods coming in, especially grain and rice, and there must be no shortage. Otherwise, the price of rice is high, and the distribution of silver also makes people accuse the court of being unable to suppress the market...... And cloth, salt, paper, ......"

Sien complained, "Why do you want paper?" ”

"Paper money...... Burned. Zhu Cihong sighed lightly, he knew that there were many dead people in this battle.

Si En was silent for a moment.

"In short, according to the preliminary calculation of the old minister, he will get a million taels of silver, and at least a physical object equal to the general value." Wu Fu looked resolute, as if he was the minister who was ready to anger the queen and calmly went to death.

"Oh...... In this way, it is relatively simple. Well, 1.5 million, all allocated to it. Zhu Cihong opened his mouth, and a quarter of the imperial court's budget in the past year was finalized by Zhu Cihong: "Si'en, you take him to find Xie Hongyun, who rushed over first." The cabinet will give special approval to this matter. In addition, the clippers were mobilized to transport food and other daily necessities by sea first. Oh yes, and I need a silver ship, too. Forget it, these detailed cabinets have finalized and submitted them to me for approval, I have to go to the etiquette officer and familiarize myself with it first. ”

After speaking, Zhu Cihong left.

Wu Fu looked at Zhu Cihong's back, a little stunned.

Fortunately, Si En was still there at this time, he looked at Wu Fu with a smile, and he was going to lead the way: "Elder Ge, what are you doing in a daze?" ”

"Ah...... Yes...... It's a matter of silver. One hundred, one and a half million taels! Wu Fu was a little dazed, as if he had just woken up.

"Your Highness has already agreed." Si En smiled, very understanding, and had an excellent temper.

"One and a half million taels, so you agreed? My Ming Dynasty used to pay only a few million taels a year, and that would cost the world. Can...... That's it. That's it? This ......" Wu Fu couldn't understand, and confirmed again and again: "Really approved?" ”

"It's true......" Si En pulled Wu Fu. went out all the way and soon met Xie Hongyun.

"Really?" Wu Fu looked at Xie Hongyun.

Xie Hongyun took the warrant from Si En. Said: "Nature is true. Since His Royal Highness has agreed, it is Chrysostom. ”

"It's not...... It's not ......" Wu Fu suddenly remembered something, and his heart became even more anxious. He was worried that Zhu Cihong would not be able to give money, and he would be poor and generous. It's just that such doubts are hard to say.

It is also thanks to Wu Fu's quick wit, looking at Xie Hongyun, he knows that this senior official who has stayed in Nanjing is quite familiar, and he should be reliable. Immediately stared at him and said, "Your Highness promised 1.5 million taels of silver, of which at least 500,000 taels must be in kind!" ”

"His Royal Highness said that this is the case, yes." Xie Hongyun understood, and looked at Wu Fu with a smile: "One and a half million taels, with daily necessities such as grain, rice, cloth, silk, salt paper, etc., worth 500,000 taels, were transferred from Jiangnan. ”

Wu Fu finally understood, and no one scolded him. Zhu Cihong really agreed to such an astronomical amount, and the people below swore the same oath, obviously not to say that they couldn't get the silver.

Zhu Cihong is now. It was indeed so powerful that he could not have imagined.

"According to His Highness's instructions, we will organize people and horses, concentrate the flying clipping fleet, and quickly transfer them from Jiangnan to Beijing by sea. Especially cash-for-work. We are familiar with organizing carriages and horses to transfer materials from Tianjin Port to Beijing with the victims of the disaster in Beijing. Pavilion Elder. Settle your heart with one hundred and twenty hearts. With that, Xie Hongyun leaned over. A little bit of the Royal Guard's actions in Shengjing, such as the ransacking of Prince Shengjingsu's mansion.

Suddenly. Wu Fu understood what Zhu Cihong's confidence was: "I...... I see. That's ...... Let's go back and announce the good news, good news! ”

Wu Fu went back in a daze, and the enthronement ceremony was carried out smoothly with the support of abundant financial and material resources

……

The first month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen.

After the Jingshi was in a hurry, every household celebrated the success of the defense of the Jingshi, and ushered in another thing worthy of cheers from thousands of people: Chongzhen abdicated, and the new emperor was about to ascend the throne!

The good news spread throughout the city, and everyone cheered.

Because, this is a legendary young prince. This also means that this change of power will be orthodox and smooth, and will not bring more suffering to this troubled city.

And the legend and military exploits of this new emperor have given a new expectation to the people of the Ming Dynasty who are eager for victory and eager to change for a long time.

This is a legendary prince who defeated the rebellion of the domestic rebels, defended the hinterland of the Central Plains from being penetrated by the Tartars, encircled and annihilated the main force of Jiannu for the first time, and won an epoch-making victory in the capital of Jiannu.

They can't help but cheer!

At the end of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Cihong returned to the Forbidden City in Beijing, and he met the long-lost Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen in the Fengxian Palace.

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen again, Zhu Youzhen's eyes were full of complexity: "Father...... The unfilial son Zhu Cihong knocked on his father to see the emperor. If you can't fulfill your filial piety for two years, your son will ask for sin. ”

"Prince, get up. To be able to raise such a unicorn, I am already content. I haven't done much in sixteen years, but at least you, I am finally worthy of my ancestors and ancestors. Zhu Youzhen helped Zhu Cihong up, patted the dust that did not exist on Zhu Cihong's body, looked at Zhu Cihong, and said, "The child has grown up." has grown into a man who stands up to the sky, and has grown into a good prince that my people rely on. You have laid down Shengjing and stabilized Jiangnan, and I can finally rest assured...... I've left the world to you. ”

The two looked at each other, and Zhu Cihong did not dare to stimulate Zhu Youzhen, who was emotionally unstable.

At least, in any case, Zhu Youzhen's open-mindedness made him admire. If he were himself, he would never be willing to regress in such a situation.

The two didn't have much time to chat, and he didn't enter the palace this time to chat.

For the time being, the politeness is over, Zhu Youzhen is in front, Zhu Cihong is behind, and they walked out of Fengxian Hall together. They went to the place where the heavens were sacrificed, and they saluted together.

At this time, Fan Jingwen, a scholar of Dongge University who was ordered to worship in the apse of the Taimiao, came to salute, and the group turned around and came to the Huangji Hall after worshipping in the apse of the Taimiao.

On the first day of the first month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the sky is clear, the sky is clear, and the scene is a good time.

In the morning, Emperor Chongzhen's Luan guard Chen Lushu arrived in front of the Imperial Palace, he rode through the Imperial Gate on the symbol of the Son of Heaven, and saw the five chariots, and the elephants, horses, yellow covers, and cloud disks were all ready outside the noon gate.

At this time, the officials of the Ministry of Rites instructed the musicians to place the Zhonghe Shao music under the eaves in front of the Huangji Palace, and His Majesty Dan was very happy to be in the Huangji Gate. The guide Yingle, and the Dragon Pavilion and the Xiang Pavilion are all outside the noon gate.

Luan Yiwei set up a mat for worship in the middle of the imperial palace. The officials of the Honglu Temple of the Cabinet Department of Rites rushed to the east of the Huangji Hall with solemn expressions to set up the edict, and then set up the table case in the west wing, and put the yellow case under the platform with the special noun "Majesty".

At this time, Huang Jingfang, the first assistant of the cabinet and a scholar of the Zhongji Temple, took the edict of succession on the Dongying case. Wang Duo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took Chen Chuan's throne and the congratulatory table on the Xiying case.

Wang Chengen and other ceremonial eunuchs waited on the left and right of the emperor's throne, placing a few or two.

Huang Jingfang, the first assistant of the cabinet, invited the emperor's treasure outside the Qianqing Gate. The cabinet scholars followed with respectful faces.

Not long after, Fan Jingwen and Fang Yuegong, the two scholars who were at the end of the ranks, stood under the eaves of the main hall.

At this moment, hundreds of civil and military officials below the princes and princes inside and outside gathered in the square outside the main hall in the most solemn court clothes. The envoys of Korea, Annam, Siam, Japan and other countries were listed at the end of the class.

The official of the Ministry of Rites whispered something, and with the help of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Inspectorate on the side, he maintained order.

At this point, the sun rises and the sun shines. The guard of honour of the Royal Guards slowly entered.

They were dressed in red standing uniforms, leather shoes, 25 people in front, 14 rows in depth. Tall and heroic, 352 people are stepping inside, as if they were one person. Li Dingguo, the executive captain of the honor guard, and the military flag bearer slowly entered, and every move was to exude a strong military atmosphere.

Outside the Qianqing Gate, Wang Duo, the official of the Ministry of Rites, was under the door steps. The former minister stood at the foot of the back steps of the Imperial Palace. The left and right sequences are as if they were solemn for a moment.

Wang Duo loudly invited Zhu Youzhen to wear a dress called "shoulder to go out of the palace".

At this moment, Zhu Cihong followed Wang Duo to lead the way. Behind him, the military band played the Ming March composed by Zhu Cihong "personally", which was actually derived from the later Radetzky March.

When the group arrived at the Middle Pole Hall, their shoulders were lowered. Emperor Chongzhen entered the Zhongji Hall and took his seat. Zhu Cihong entered and stood facing west.

At the same time, the official of Honglu Temple led all the high-ranking officials in Beijing, including Qiqing, to bow nine times. The attendant walked out first and stood solemnly facing the squad.

At this time, the classical Zhonghe Shao music played, and Zhu Youzhen listened quietly, as if he was in another world.

This is the enthronement ceremony. (To be continued.) )
