"Zhu Jie! You say, "That vassal king, that nobleman, which minister is not brave and loyal?" You're blazing! ”

Fang Yue Gong was in a hurry and shouted.

Zhu Jie smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, Lord Fang, if I remember correctly, just a few years ago, the rebels rose one after another, the Qing army entered the army, the treasury was empty, and the court couldn't get a little silver. ”

Belch......

Fang Yuegong nodded and replied, "Yes, it is true, the emperor was only bewitched by a traitor at that time......

Chongzhen's face was a little ugly, and he didn't understand why Zhu Jie mentioned this topic.

Zhu Jie continued: "What was the result? How much silver did the princes of the DPRK and China lose? How much? There are only more than 1,000 taels, and even dozens of taels, and some even have not paid a penny! Don't say do it, I just mention it, and I feel blushing! How many of these courtiers are not wealthy? There is not one in a hundred, or even one in a thousand, of an official as poor as Hai Jui! They lost so much money! Don't they know that all their possessions have come from the Emperor's grace? When the national crisis is at hand, they are all so indifferent and ruthless, where do they come from to be brave and loyal? Master Fang, tell me, where did you get the courage and loyalty? ”

Fang Yuegong's face was flushed, he was sorry, even if he Fang Yuegong's family property was definitely more than 10,000 taels, he was still a little more incorruptible, such as others, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people! However, the silver taels donated by the entire imperial court were only 10,000 taels......

"Maybe, maybe, the princes of the court really don't have much savings, after all, the court is very ......."

Fang Yuegong didn't dare to look at Emperor Chongzhen squarely, and muttered in his mouth.

Zhu Jie looked at Fang Yuegong with a smile and asked, "Lord Fang, do you believe what you said?" Who in the Manchu Dynasty lived on Yulu? Hai Qingtian lived on Yulu, and when he died, he couldn't even afford the coffin board...... "Chongzhen's face was even more gloomy, it was originally, although Chongzhen didn't leave the palace, but he couldn't believe it when he was killed, but after all, it was a persuasion, not a house, and he had no way to force the vassal kings and even officials to pay the silver.

But, after all, this is a thorn in Chongzhen's heart, it hurts to think about it, and the most terrible thing is that in order to calm the anger of the public, he had to make an edict to sin himself, and tell the world, shame on people, Chongzhen's already extremely strong self-esteem has been greatly traumatized!

"Your Majesty!"

Zhu Jie continued: "Since these people are still so cold-blooded and ruthless and have no loyalty at the moment of life and death in the imperial court, why do you still give them such grace? Even if you say that all these efforts are taken back and given to the people, the people will give you a million people's watches, all the people's umbrellas, give them them, what's the use? ”

"Damn! Hateful! Hateful! ”

Chongzhen squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, and it was obvious that Chongzhen had begun to kill again!

Fang Yuegong's heart was frightened for a while, and he said urgently: "Zhu Jie, you said that the civil and military officials are rich, what about the evidence?" What if there is no money? You're just framing you out of thin air! Hundreds of thousands of shadows, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty is nothing more than that, right? How much silver does the emperor's in-law have? ”

Zhu Jie sneered: "Lord Fang, today's official will let you open your eyes to the emperor!" ”

Chongzhen and Fang Yuegong's eyes both looked at Zhu Jie.

Zhu Jie stretched out his hand, took out the list of gifts and letters from the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion to Tian Hongyu from his sleeve, and handed them to Chongzhen.

"Your Majesty, the minister led the army north, and when he arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, he had a small conflict with Jinyiwei, and unintentionally, I got this, and I ask you to ......see it yourself."

Chongzhen took the list and the letter, and looked at it carefully - "1,500 taels of gold, two jade Buddhas, one pearl, one Dongpo monk calligraphy and painting, 10,000 taels of silver......"

The gifts listed on the list alone are worth more than tens of thousands of taels of silver!

"Tian Hong meets ......"

Chongzhen's teeth are about to be crushed!

Tens of thousands of taels of silver, this is just the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion sent by one person, Tian Hongyu has passed through how many state capitals along the way? Even if the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion gave the most, the others were 10,000 taels of silver per person, which would add up to definitely no less than 100,000 taels! This is an extremely underestimated number!

Insatiable, insatiable!

Chongzhen clearly remembered that when he persuaded him to donate, this Tian Hongyu only donated two hundred and eighty taels of silver! This is not even a drop in the bucket for him!

There is also this prefect of the Daimyo Mansion, and as soon as he makes a move, it is tens of thousands of taels of silver, tens of thousands of taels! So how much property does he have? How did he get his fortune?

"Fang Yuegong, this is what you call a hundred officials who are honest? This is what you call the courage and loyalty of a hundred officials? See for yourself! ”

Chongzhen slammed the fold in front of Fang Yuegong!

Fang Yuegong picked it up in horror, just one glance, he was completely stupid! Slapped in the face, slapped in the face, this Zhu Jie, this time he really ran to the court and fired a cannon! Needless to say, tomorrow's court will definitely set off a huge storm!

"Your Majesty, the emperor forgives your sins, the ministers are afraid, the ministers are afraid, the ministers are afraid......"

Chongzhen laughed miserably, and said coldly: "Okay, good, you are all crying poor with me, the poor are poor and white, I am rich, rich in the world, I am considerate of you, and the rewards have never been less, even if the court situation is difficult, until now, I know that the poorest person in the world is me, and I have become the biggest joke in the world, the biggest fool, hehe, hehe......"

If Tian Hongyu was in front of Chongzhen at this time, Chongzhen would definitely pull out the sword on the wall and split Tian Hongyu's body into pieces!

"Zhu Jie, you may confirm that this list is 100% true? Is it true that Tian Hongyu asked for a bribe by hand-painting? ”

Chongzhen Wu was not at ease and asked again.

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice: "Emperor Qi, in fact, the minister didn't get this list by chance, but inadvertently knocked down the master who gave the gift, and only then did he find out about it, and now the master and all the stolen goods that bribes are left in the minister's camp......

Now it's good, the human and material evidence is there! Tian Hongyu can't run if he wants to, as long as he returns to the capital, the dismissal of officials is light, and it is possible to raid his family and destroy his family!

"It seems that I really should severely purge the discipline, Fang Yuegong, you get up......"

Chongzhen was overwhelmed by the anger, and felt a wave of fatigue coming, and barely bred up his spirits and let Fang Yuegong stand up.

"Zhu Jie, I will adopt your measures and take back the salt introduction, the mines, and the tea and wine tax rights to the vassal kings, nobles, hundred officials, and even wealthy merchants!"
