Chapter 684: The next chapter, Beijing camp, prepares to pay
The family members of the soldiers have no children, deliberately adopt three children, and use the monthly ration subsidy of the wives of the Ming Dynasty. It is similar to eating empty wages. It must be It will happen, but Zhu Yijun doesn't care. He just wants to increase money, which is to expand his basic base. In order to prevent the general trend of promoting civility and military affairs, there are still too many Jinshi from country gentry in the DPRK, so that the political power is completely controlled by these people. in hand.
Overcorrection will lead to overcorrection. Problems must be solved when they arise, but we cannot stop starting just because we are afraid of problems. This is Zhu Yijun's attitude.
Dai Fengxiang and Shu Hua, as well as the officials kneeling in the execution hall, actually couldn't understand what people like Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui, including His Majesty the Emperor, wanted to do so much.
We are all carnivores and the ruling class. Is it really serious to get to the point of a public trial and make things difficult for each other? Everyone sits together and bullies the poor and the coolies. Isn't this how we have been doing for so many years?
Why? To borrow a sentence from Liu Bei: It is nothing more than a single thought to save the common people.
A goal that can never be achieved and always needs to be pursued, this is the most practical idea of Zhang Juzheng, Hai Rui and other loyal fans of the Ming Dynasty's revival.
After Yuan Hongyu announced his verdict, people finally vented their emotions and began to disperse slowly.
Zhu Yijun saw Xu Bangrui’s Duke Wei’s Mansion. Viewed from Xi’an Gate, Duke Wei’s Mansion was the most gorgeous manor in the city. There was no other manor. Duke Wei was the second most powerful man in the Ming Dynasty. The first was the emperor. .
The entire Wei Guogong Mansion covers an area of more than 250 acres, and the gardens alone exceed 155 acres.
The predecessor of Wei Guogong's Mansion was Wu Wang's Mansion, which was the residence where Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself King of Wu in Nanjing. Later, after the palace was built, it was awarded to Wei Guogong Xu Da.
Zhu Yuanzhang expanded his home and gave it to Xu Da.
In fact, this can understand Xu Bangrui’s choice. He chose to donate, not because he was weak, but because this was the fate of the Duke of Wei. From very early on, the rise and fall of the Duke of Wei, the honor and disgrace, It is already tied to the empire.
After Dai Fengxiang and Shu Hua were sentenced to death, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty also breathed a sigh of relief. The turmoil caused by breaking through the bottom line of political struggle finally came to an end, and soon, a bigger storm came. Came in front of the scholars of Ming Dynasty.
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty actually split Nanya, and the division was still bizarre like Jiangzuo and Jiangyou.
Indeed, according to the usual practice, it should be divided into the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River. However, the Ming Dynasty was divided into the left and right of the Yangtze River, which was unexpected.
The Duke of Wei, who had high hopes, chose to donate. Coupled with the tragic fate of Dai Fengxiang and Shu Hua, the Nanya scholar-bureaucrats were a little timid for a while and did not dare to speak loudly. Nanya's It was against this background that the split began to slowly advance.
On April 17, another group of soldiers came to the outer wall of Nanjing City in the Ming Dynasty. 4,500 elite soldiers selected from the Nine Battalions of Zhejiang Province were led by Ma Wenying, Zhang Wenyuan and others. Under the leadership, they came to Nanjing City. After meeting the emperor, they would take a boat at Pukou to Songjiang Prefecture, and then set sail from Songjiang Prefecture to the Nagasaki Governor's Palace.
When these 4,500 sharp soldiers arrived and stationed outside the Nanjing city wall, Nanjing became even quieter, because these sharp soldiers were the ones who really brought Zhejiang to chaos.
In Nanya Shilin's view, the Ming Emperor was crazy, and he dared to meet these thugs who dared to commit such crimes!
"Forty-five hundred sharp soldiers who entered the city to exterminate the bandits scared these cheap Confucians to the point of being speechless. I thought their bones were so hard." Zhu Yijun changed into his military uniform and smiled at the people around him. Feng Bao said.
"They are actually thinking that His Majesty will return to Bei Ya after all." Feng Bao provided another answer. They were not submissive or frightened, but they were temporarily avoiding the edge.
Can your emperor go back?
"When I leave, a demolished Nanya will be more conducive to the stability of Nanya, so that it will not imitate the Netherlands." Zhu Yijun didn't care very much, he did He wanted to return to Beijing, but Nanya was directly dismembered under the visible hands. Without the previous joint efforts, Ming Dynasty's control over Nanya's fourteenth mansion was still strengthening.
We must not only learn lessons from the long history of the Central Plains, but also learn lessons from the process of the world.
As the first empire on which the sun never sets, Spain's decline began with the rebellion in the Netherlands. Of course, England, the troublemaker, was also indispensable for this.
What is more interesting is that there is a country with a similar status in the East, that is, the Japanese country. The Japanese country always stabs its suzerain country in the back, time and time again. This is also the basis for the deployment of the Zhejiang Nine Battalion to the Nagasaki Governor's Mansion. The reason is to suppress the Japanese ambitions.
"Your Majesty, Commander Qi is here." A small yellow doorman hurriedly walked in, bowed his head and said.
The one who led the way for the emperor was Qi Jiguang. Li Rusong stayed in Beiya to guard the Beijing camp. As the first person in Wanli Dynasty's martial arts, Qi Jiguang naturally had to support the emperor. Qi Jiguang was actually a little worried about what happened in Zhejiang Jiuying. Come, then there will be big trouble. The soldiers of the ninth battalion will not do it, but it does not prevent someone from fanning the flames.
For example, they spread rumors that the deployment of Nagasaki was a borrowed knife strategy to kill the mutinous soldiers of the Nine Battalions with Japanese swords.
"Qi Shuai is back from Longtan Villa? Did you catch any fish?" Zhu Yijun saw the very energetic Qi Jiguang and asked with a smile.
“I didn’t catch the fish.”
“Your Majesty, I am worried that some cheap Confucians are talking nonsense and nonsense in Jiuying, Zhejiang, causing chaos and making everyone feel embarrassed. Coming out of Longtan is to tell these people that if they break through the bottom line, it is time to enter the city and wipe out the bandits." Qi Jiguang answered His Majesty's question very clearly. His appearance was to prevent some people from taking advantage of Zhejiang. The soldiers of the ninth battalion were regarded as tools of struggle.
"I have seen it before." Qi Jiguang is not good at fighting in the court, because his blade never points inward. If the humble Confucian insists on forcing him to take action, he can also use practical actions to prove his position.
"I am looking forward to it more and more. I hope these cheap Confucians can give me a little surprise." Upon hearing this, Zhu Yijun immediately expressed that he hoped that these cheap Confucians would be more courageous and more determined to resist and fight. Make some big trouble so that you can watch the fun.
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty watched the excitement and was not afraid of trouble.
Zhu Yijun’s car drove towards the gate of Waiguo City. While driving, Zhu Yijun saw a bustling Nanjing city in the Ming Dynasty that was gradually fading. The further he walked towards Waiguo, the less he could see the brothels, only the endless rows of brothels. These houses seem to have no plan, only winding and narrow alleys. The shops are no longer arranged in an orderly manner, but are here and there in the east and west, and there are more markets sitting on the ground.
The Ming Emperor arrived at Jiangdong Gate. Qi Jiguang led an infantry camp to enter the camp first, and then the emperor appeared on the school field.
"I pay homage to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty." As a commander, Ma Wenying led all 4,500 soldiers to kneel down and salute. The drums gradually stopped and the trumpet sound stopped. Blow, the school ground is very quiet.
Zhu Yijun did not speak for a long time. He was stunned for a long time before he said: "Thank you for your hard work, soldiers."
This is a sentence that has no beginning and no end and is not based on the previous drill.
According to the drill, if the emperor says that he is equal, the soldiers will thank his majesty. If the emperor says that the Ming army is mighty, the soldiers will reply that his majesty is mighty.
Now that His Majesty is talking about hard work, the soldiers were a little confused for a while.
"Your Majesty has to work harder!" As the head of the ninth battalion, Ma Wenying held it in for a long time and finally uttered a nondescript sentence.
Zhu Yijun did not smile. He stretched out his hand and said calmly: "Without courtesy, you soldiers are going to go on an expedition to the Japanese country. I don't have anything to reward you. I will give you the money first, and then we will have dinner. I have brought wine and food." , there is a big banquet today.”
Zhu Yijun did not give a long speech, nor did he give any instructions. He was actually prepared. He had a formal edict and some vernacular words, but he did not speak about them. Instead, he chose to hand out the money and finish it. Money to eat again.
Because he saw a different Ming Dynasty army. Everyone in Zhejiang Jiuying had yellow and thin skin and a disheveled face, which was in sharp contrast to the sharp soldiers of the Beijing camp.
Zhu Yijun has no doubt that one of the sharp soldiers from the Ming Dynasty's capital camp can defeat three Zhejiang soldiers with his bare hands.
Zhu Yijun has never seen such a Ming army. He has seen the Beijing camp, Li Chengliang's servants, the guest soldiers under Lingyun's wing, and the Ming navy, but he has never seen one like a beggar. Ming army.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ma Wenying was also a little confused. She didn't know why the emperor gave up his speech, but he still chose to agree.
Zhao Mengyou and Luo Bingliang took Tiqi and carried boxes of silver to the school grounds. The secretary began to record. The soldiers of Zhejiang Ninth Battalion began to receive the silver. Everyone had a share, and each person received ten silver coins. The scene was orderly.
Zhu Yijun called Ma Wenying to him.
"How much is the salary for the soldiers of the Zhejiang Nine Battalion?" Zhu Yijun asked about the treatment of the Zhejiang Nine Battalion.
Ma Wenying quickly bowed her head and said: "One stone and four buckets per month is equivalent to five coins of silver."
"So little, is it enough to eat?" Zhu Yijun frowned and asked calmly road.
Ma Wenying didn't know why the emperor asked, but he still answered truthfully: "If you are alone, you will have enough food, but if you have a wife and children, it will not be enough."
< br>“How many months do you eat meat?”
“In March, if you go on a patrol, you can eat better because you can catch some fish along the way to make tooth sacrifices. It has gotten better in the past few years, and you have sweet potatoes to eat. "Ma Wenying told the emperor why Zhejiang Jiuying went out on patrol, except for flood control, it was just for fishing.
Zhu Yijun asked a lot of questions. It was not until the meal was served that Zhu Yijun asked Ma Wenying to take the elite soldiers selected by Zhejiang Jiuying to dinner and stopped asking.
Through Ma Wenying’s answers, Zhu Yijun gained a comprehensive understanding of the life of Ming soldiers in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
If you don't go on patrol, you only eat meat once during the Chinese New Year, and it's very poor meat, almost smelly. If the emperor had seen these soldiers five years ago, he would have seen them all skinny and skinny. Soldiers, not sallow and thin.
Now, because of the promotion of sweet potatoes, the soldiers of Zhejiang’s Nine Battalions are able to eat, but they are only boiled sweet potatoes and sweet potato vines.
Zhu Yijun asked himself that he was already very grounded and down-to-earth, but in his impression, sweet potato vines were used to feed pigs, but even this sweet potato vine was not enough for poor coolies to eat three meals a day. All can be eaten.
When going on fishing tours and performing tooth rituals, fish scales and gills are also eaten, and eggs are a very valuable thing.
Even if it is not a disaster year, you will still eat grass, which is bracken. Bracken is also a grave grass. Use coarse salt to accompany the bracken. If you encounter a disaster year, you will eat bark, coal, and Guanyin. earth.
Every time the Ninth Battalion went on patrol, the common people lined the streets to welcome them. However, these rural gentry gnashed their teeth with hatred, because the common people would fish with the soldiers of the Ninth Battalion. On weekdays, these lakes, The ditches and rivers were all occupied by the rural gentry. Only when the soldiers of the Nine Battalions came, the common people could follow them and catch some fish to make salted fish.
And these Jiuying were hated by the rural gentry, not only because the quality of the dams they built was so good, but also because Zhejiang Jiuying had scales.
When these rural gentry and gentry collect rent, they all use fake scales. They should pay one hundred kilograms of grain, but this fake scale can pay one hundred and thirty kilograms, and the scale in Jiuying, Zhejiang Province , is famous for its accuracy, so these common people are looking forward to the ninth battalion's patrol. When the ninth battalion arrives, the common people borrow scales to weigh the grain.
The soldiers of the Ninth Battalion will not take care of themselves when they are sick. They all depend on their fate. If they are lucky, they will get through it. If they are not lucky, they will be taken away by God.
"Qi Shuai." Zhu Yijun looked at Qi Jiguang and said in a low voice: "Did we eat so poorly when we were fighting against the Japanese? It was still the scene I saw. Again, people were in charge and no one was needed. At the back of the court, when there is no need, just shout and kill?”
"Your Majesty, the food was so poor during the anti-Japanese war. There were no sweet potatoes at that time. Now the soldiers of the ninth battalion of Zhejiang can still use sweet potato flour to thicken the soup. I think the soldiers of Zhejiang are much stronger now than before." Qi Jiguang said truthfully. answered the question.
It’s just as bad, it didn’t get worse because the Japanese invasion has stopped. Qi Jiguang actually disliked His Majesty saying that he had no military talent and did not know how to fight. In his opinion, farming and fighting are one. Without farming, where would there be war?
His Majesty has personally been farming for so many years. Baoqisi's promotion of sweet potatoes is the greatest talent for knowing soldiers and the greatest military talent. It can keep the soldiers well fed and is a logistical talent.
Tofu is rolled with pickles. It is the norm that the emperor and I are not as good as me.
"It turns out that it has always been very bad." Zhu Yijun said with some regret: "Zhejiang and Nanya are already the richest places in the Ming Dynasty, and they are still like this. It seems that what I have done is not good enough. There is still a long way to go. "The resistance is long."
Qi Jiguang was stunned. His Majesty saw the appearance of the soldiers of Zhejiang Nine Battalions and criticized himself. However, Qi Jiguang felt that this criticism was wrong. He felt that His Majesty had done a good enough job.
The world belongs to the people of the world. Do you want Your Majesty to shoulder the ups and downs of the world alone?
"What is good? What is good? Compared with the days when soldiers could not afford to eat, life is good now." Qi Jiguang rarely refuted His Majesty's point of view. , he was familiar with the contradiction and said that he hoped that His Majesty would not deny himself.
"At the very least, soldiers, craftsmen, and farmers must have enough to eat and have enough to eat." Zhu Yijun gave his own standards.
Qi Jiguang smiled and said nothing. He actually wanted to say that some princes may not have enough food and clothing. His Majesty's goal is a bit high, but a higher goal is better. If the goal is high, it is worth pursuing this goal all his life.
"I was wrong. I cannot accept it. Some cheap Confucians regard the soldiers of the Nine Battalions as tools of struggle." Zhu Yijun suddenly remembered the conversation when he met Qi Jiguang in Nanhu Bieyuan. He admitted that he was wrong. Zhejiang The Nine Battalions are already suffering a lot, and it will be even more miserable if they are taken advantage of again.
There was a soldier in Ma Wenying's account named Ge Erzhu, and his family also had an eldest brother named Ge Dazhu. One year there was a famine, and they were both sold by their father. They originally thought they were sold to be used as cattle. The horse, but the two brothers found out after they were imprisoned that they had been sold to make rice and meat.
Rice meat is the meat that grows on people who eat rice, that is, Dazhu and Erzhu, who were treated as animals and were slaughtered. Ge Dazhu gave his own life in exchange for his brother's chance to escape. Later, Ge Erzhu surrendered. Jiuying, during the last mutiny in Jiuying, Ge Erzhu killed the family member Yazi and saved three children.
Zhejiang was so troubled by Jiuying that it really caused Yuyu to clarify Wanli.
Zhu Yijun did not make any speech, but used practical actions to express his support for the deployment of the Nine Battalion soldiers to the Japanese country. Is it a borrowed knife to kill someone, or is it self-defeating?
Qi Jiguang came out of Longtan Fishing Villa. The guys who had some ideas immediately went dormant. This was Qi Jiguang’s deterrence. The officials in Beiya did not dare to accuse Qi Jiguang of being self-respecting and might rebel, because Qi Jiguang really Of strength.
"The split of Nanya will cause some trouble. I have shown my violence, but they are not afraid at all." Zhu Yijun returned to Nanhu Villa and received a memorial from Yingtian After reading Governor Li Le's memorial, Zhu Yijun said this to Feng Bao.
The emperor was very angry and the consequences were serious.
Li Le wanted to take advantage of the emperor's presence to check the rice grains in Changping Granary of the Ming Dynasty. As a result, the weather in early summer started to catch fire.
It was never uncommon for a fire dragon to burn a warehouse, but this time it was particularly violent because Nan Ya was about to be split up.
The 14th Mansion of Nanya originally split into a Songjiang Mansion, and now the 13th Mansion has been split into three parts. When doing so, it is natural to check the inventory of silver and grain stored in the treasury, and finally The treasury of Yingtian Mansion was burned first, but Taicang in Nanjing was not burned. This was a place under Li Le's direct jurisdiction.
But the treasury of Yingtian Mansion was on fire, and the Thirteenth Mansion of Nanya was on fire immediately.
Demolish Nanya, right, and divide the family property directly.
Zhu Yijun rubbed his temples, thought for a long time and said: "These cheap bones, if you don't do something cruel to them, they won't treat me as the emperor. If I want to demolish Nanya, they will burn down the mansion." Ku, finally make a profit, right?”
“Next chapter, prepare to pay.”
The Ming Emperor lost the patience to continue the fight and chose to overturn the table and succeed Yin Zhengmao. After demolishing the door, Ling Yunyi killed people, Wang Jiaping was confused, Wang Yi'e erected a monument, Shen Shi was paraded through the streets, and Zhu Yili was put on trial, the Ming Emperor Zhu Yijun finally came up with his own method of extorting payment.
“Reward?” Feng Bao thought he heard wrongly and asked blankly.
"Copy the money, take my imperial edict and the emperor's sword, and go to the capital camp. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy." Zhu Yijun wrote the handwritten edict and handed it to Feng Bao.
"I obey the decree." Feng Bao accepted the imperial decree and rushed to the capital camp in a hurry! As a person who enjoys fun, he feels that the public trial is not fun enough, but the payment is the real excitement!
Qi Jiguang returned to Longtan Villa and received the imperial edict. He was stunned for a moment and said to Zhang Juzheng who was receiving the edict together: "Sir, don't you go to Nanhu Villa to persuade His Majesty?"
Zhang Juzheng was confused. Asked: "What are you persuading?"
"The way of persuading benevolence and forgiveness." Qi Jiguang said matter-of-factly, the emperor has issued an edict to impose high wages, but Zhang Juzheng can actually hold on, you don't care about the students you teach. No matter, if you don’t persuade him, Qi Jiguang will really carry out the emperor’s orders.
Zhang Juzheng said with great conviction: "They have burned down the treasury. This is disobeying the emperor's order. This is rebellion. Your Majesty is just forcing them to eat it and spit it out as they please. This is not the case. Is it Renshu? Your Majesty is reasonable enough and did not order the capital to kill them all. What is it but Renshu?” , Everything must be accommodated.”
Wang Chonggu looked at the imperial edict and immediately ordered his followers to pack their bags. His expression was a bit hurried.
"Is Wang Cifu going to persuade Renshu?" Qi Jiguang looked at Wang Chonggu and asked curiously as he left in a hurry.
"Zhang Juzheng can even sit still. What the hell am I trying to say? That's my job? That's his Mr. Zhang's job. I have to go back to Nanjing quickly. This time I have to pay all the driving stickers." Get ready!" Wang Chonggu said angrily: "These Nanya bureaucrats are really not smart at all. If they are not blind or deaf, they should have understood Chen Wuyin's case as early as possible, and they don't know what they are trying to test. ! ”
“Isn’t it good to have a head on your neck?”
Wang Chonggu is going back to Nanjing City to prepare for the post. His Majesty has been very good in Beiya for twelve years. The emperor was a very well-behaved man. Even when he killed Chen Youren in the street, he had his own rules and regulations.
You must force His Majesty to break the rules. These Nanya bureaucrats are committing heinous crimes!
But His Majesty must not fail to follow the rules. Wang Chonggu must prepare all the driving stickers before the arrival of the Beijing camp!
Wang Chonggu left, Qi Jiguang began to mobilize the capital camp, and three generals were responsible for going to Luzhou Prefecture, Yangzhou Prefecture, and Suzhou Prefecture to take charge, while Qi Jiguang himself was responsible for guarding Yingtian Prefecture.
The process of torture and payment is not that the sharp soldiers of the Ming Dynasty Jingying camp directly broke into the house, hung the person up, tortured and extorted, but the Ming Dynasty Jingying camp was responsible for suppressing the formation, and the two subjugation divisions in the north and south were responsible for arresting the people, and then To get back the goods that should have been in the treasury, as for how much there should have been, it is necessary to sort out the amount of goods that should have been in the Ministry of Revenue, Wang Guoguang.
The role of the Beijing camp is still to prevent rebellion and not to directly take people.
After receiving the imperial edict, Zhao Mengyou immediately summoned all the Tiqi. After reading the imperial edict, he first took away all the bureaucrats in charge of the Yingtian Mansion.
Payment officially begins.
This extortion of pay frightened the entire Nanya scholar-bureaucrats. They never expected that the emperor would not treat them as ministers at all, but as rebels. This head As soon as the fire in the treasury was set alight, the emperor issued an order to impose high wages!
And looking at this posture, the emperor has already prepared a combination of punches and is waiting for them.
Zhu Yijun was indeed like this. He expected to be lenient to the enemy. The worst result he expected was that when Nanya was split, there would be civil unrest, civil unrest, and even clear-cut rebellion and Qing Dynasty. In order to deal with it, Zhu Yijun made sufficient preparations for various situations of splitting Nanya.
Copying is a less drastic method in his arsenal.
Now even the bureaucrats in Nanya are looking forward to the emperor’s early return to Beiya! When His Majesty was in Beiya, he was really very principled. When he arrived in Nanya, he did not follow principles at all. He did whatever he said without hesitation at all.
Not only did Zhang Juzheng, the emperor's master of the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Fu, and Yicheng Bo, not stop him, he also wrote "Copying Hundreds of Officials to Prevent Beths", which demonstrated in detail the rationality of the payment.
Yes, instead of advising benevolence and forgiveness, Zhang Juzheng demonstrated the rationality of the emperor's use of violence to exercise imperial power. From the first year of Wanli, the first sentence of Zhang Juzheng's new policy was to protect sovereignty and the power of the Lord. power.
Now Nanya Baiguan has a choice, money or life.
If you want money, you will lose your life; if you want your life, you will lose money.
In fact, behind this choice, the emperor forced all the bureaucrats of Nanya to express their collective stance whether they agreed to split Nanya. If they agreed, they would spit out what they had eaten. If they disagreed, they would die. Then Tiqi would confiscate their homes. The silver, money and food were recovered.
This is what the emperor said to Zhang Juzheng before leaving. He wanted to see if his powerful dragon could suppress the local snake.
"It seems that the bones of the bureaucrats are not that hard. I thought there would be a few bosses who wanted money rather than their lives, and they would die to prove that I was a fool, but this was only a short time. In three days, the money and food burned by the fire dragon in Yingtian's treasury came back intact." Zhu Yijun saw Zhao Mengyou's memorial and said with a smile to Zhang Juzheng who was in attendance.
After only three days of payment, the money and food from the treasury came back.
"Your Majesty, is there no fine?" Zhang Juzheng asked with some confusion. Is it enough to just collect the debt? If you don't take the opportunity to take penalty points, who will treat you as the emperor?
“Huh?” Wang Chonggu was stunned for a moment. Is this human language?
He finally knew that the emperor and his master were really close masters and disciples. Look at Zhang Juzheng, he actually thought that the emperor's methods were not drastic enough!
"Indeed, they have to be fined. Let's do this. If they pay another one according to the same scale, I will let them go. If they don't pay, I will exile them to Java. There is a shortage of people there now. It's amazing, it's nine years old in two years. If you can open Java, the people of Ming Dynasty will have to starve to death." Zhu Yijun agreed with Zhang Juzheng's suggestion. In addition to paying, he chose to impose a fine. He would spit out double portions of the amount he took. .
Struggle has always been like this. If you take one step back, don’t blame me for taking three steps forward.
"Isn't there anyone in the Beiya officials scolding me?" Zhu Yijun was a little surprised. He had left the capital, and instead of the lengthy memorials that usually contained insinuations and scolded the emperor, he could not read any of them.
Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "The officials in Beiya are now looking forward to your Majesty's return soon."
This is the benefit of the control group. The emperor should still sit on the dragon throne. Looking at what King Lu did, all the officials in Beiya remembered the emperor's good deeds.
"Jiu'er got into trouble again?" Zhu Yijun frowned, realizing that the matter was not simple.
"His Royal Highness King Lu extorted half a million silver from Zheshe households in Xitucheng." Zhang Juzheng explained that it was not a big deal, but just jealous.
Everyone knows that King Lu likes beauties from all over the world. A beauty from all over the world who was supposed to be presented to King Lu was snatched away by a Zheshe household in Xitucheng.
Where did Zhu Yili suffer such grievance? In addition to getting the person back, he also extorted an additional five hundred thousand silver.
"King Lu is really fooling around! Where did the money go?" Zhu Yijun said feigning anger.
"Put in the money." Feng Bao quickly explained the whereabouts of the silver. King Lu was not interested in the silver, but he liked beauties from all over the world.
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "Well, that's it, Jiu'er has made some mischief. I will definitely give him a scolding when I return to Beijing!"
