Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 451
Throughout the ages, the word greed has ruined the overall situation: On the day when ammunition and food were exhausted, Chongzhen thought that all the officials in the court would know the truth about the death of lips and teeth, and abandon the dignity of the emperor and don't ask all the officials to spend money to fight the enemy. I only got 20 taels, which was almost humiliating.

Those penny-pinching court officials finally let Li Zicheng enter Beijing, but they were handcuffed, and a total of 7000 million yuan was handcuffed, and countless officials' families were destroyed... Saving a little money and losing a lot of money, because of a small loss, it is the same.

By the time of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the northern captives had not settled down, and only half of the country was left, but the ministers of the court and the central government were still fighting for power and profit for three melons and two dates... Are they stupid?Not necessarily, who can be an official is not a child prodigy who is killed from among millions of scholars by crossing the single-plank bridge?
Let's just say they're not stupid...

Obviously they are all elites among the people, but they can't see the word of profit, and they always act in small ways.It can only be said that the more people who make decisions, the more short-sighted the judgments they make...

Li Shanchang's mistake was that he didn't apportion the exact amount directly, so that everyone didn't want to pay a lot of money, and everyone wanted others to pay a lot of money.

In the end, only 10 taels was collected, which made Lao Zhu furious.

But if you think about it carefully, this is also doomed. After all, most of these court officials are Qingliu in eastern Zhejiang, and they came together with Li Shanchang because they thought it would be profitable.Li Shanchang, who came up from the bottom, wanted to win them over. Naturally, he knew that if he apportioned from the top, he would definitely make the Zhedong faction who was apportioned feel resentful.To put it bluntly, the two parties are actually just a cooperative relationship.

Just like now, many of the officials who were scolded by Li Shanchang in a hurry have turned ugly.An old servant from the household department said: "Why does Prime Minister Li scold you so badly?"

"I also have my own considerations. I thought how much I could save the big guys. Even if His Majesty got angry and scolded Yan Xizhe, it would be over."

"Who would have thought that His Majesty would have King Qin and King Yan investigate the case..."

Li Shanchang was trembling with anger when he heard his yin and yang.

The old servant still didn't realize it, he just said to himself:

"The king of Qin didn't know the seriousness. After he was ordered, he took the censor and directly sealed the household department, messing up the file room of my household department. With Jin Yiwei supporting him, no one dared to speak out."

"If this goes on like this, our household department will be destroyed in name only! You were the one who came up with the idea before, but now it has turned into this appearance, you have to find a way to help us tide over the difficulties!"

His words were threatening, and Li Shanchang was even more angry with bruised veins on his forehead. The household department controls the most lucrative place in the court, and there are few people who are clean up and down.If Ren Qin Wang looked through the files, he might find a flaw someday.This is a veiled threat to him, Li Shanchang. If something happens to the household department, Li Shanchang must be dragged into the water, and Li Shanchang should not think about it.

Li Shanchang was depressed for a while, he never thought that these officials from eastern Zhejiang dared to threaten Li Shanchang in turn.But in all fairness, he is really a little guilty. Although he is only making suggestions behind the scenes, if it is known that he instigated these people to fool Lao Zhu, with Lao Zhu's temper that does not rub the sand in his eyes...

Things have come to this point, and we have no choice but to go to the dark.Li Shanchang seemed to have aged many years in an instant, his hand on crutches trembled slightly: "Come on, come on, the old man will wait for you to come up with a plan."

"It's just this time, you must follow it properly, Wanmo has made the decision indiscriminately."

The officials were overjoyed for a while, and the servant said, "In that case, I have to thank Mr. Li."

"After this incident, we will be the only one to look forward to, Prime Minister Li!"

……

"It's strange, these officials really can't find their feet."

In the yamen of the Ministry of Households, Qin Wang Zhu Xi sat in front of the hall with a big horse and a golden knife, with a lot of records from the Ministry of Households in front of him.

These days, he took the censors of the Yushitai to thoroughly check the records of the household department day and night, and found that there were many business contracts for Yingtianfu's stores, but few of them belonged to the officials of the court.Angrily, Zhu Xing threw a filing account book on the ground, turned to Zhu Di and said, "Fourth, tell me, could it be that my censor also played with those officials to protect each other, deliberately fooling our two brothers?" people?"

"The old fifth held an auction before, and many housekeepers and servants of these officials' families appeared in the venue. How could it be possible that these people only have these insignificant properties left in their homes?"

With an embroidered spring knife on his waist, Zhu Di glanced at the group of censors who were still checking the accounts, and the censors were so frightened that they buried their heads and dared not look at the King of Yan.Seeing this situation, Zhu Di said to Zhu Xi: "Probably not. Even if these people are daring, they would not dare to fake under Jin Yiwei's nose."

"Aren't you afraid of killing the Nine Clans?"

"Maybe it's because these people's hands and tails are so perfect that we can't catch their fox tails." Zhu Di stroked his chin, which was beginning to grow stubble. "But even if it is sold, there is no reason to sell it so quickly."

"Hmph, in order to avoid taxes, these officials are more powerful than the other..."

"I have a good idea." Zhu Xi rolled his eyeballs and laughed meanly, making Zhu Di laugh like a monk who couldn't figure it out.

Zhu Xi motioned for Zhu Di to come over and tell him what he thought, Zhu Di frowned deeply: "This...isn't it inappropriate..."

"Hey, what kind of decency, if it can help dad, that's decency!" Zhu Xi said, with a rare upright and awe-inspiring temperament.Zhu Di was speechless for a while, and Zhu Xi was anxious when he saw it: "Fourth brother, you can say whether you will do it or not. If you don't do it, I will take someone to do it myself!"

"What are you going to do with your people? Let your group of powerless censors put on sacks and beat them with sap?" Zhu Di rolled his eyes. "That's all, we are all brothers, let's do it together."

"Father blame it, at worst I'll be with you on the shoe board."

If he hadn't been watching, this second elder brother would have done something shocking.If you go by yourself, you can easily break the charges and throw the person directly in the prison.

Anyway, Jin Yiwei was originally doing this job. When Hu Weiyong had an accident in the past, Mao Xiang also splashed dirty water on innocent people.

"Okay! Talk about loyalty!" Zhu Xi was overjoyed, but he didn't know that Zhu Di was just afraid that he would delay the big event by scaring the snake. "This is my good brother!"

As the most inconspicuous existence among the brothers, Zhu Xi naturally couldn't think of any serious solution.His so-called "good idea" was to kidnap a family member of an official and drag him to a dark place to scare him, lest they not tell the inside story.

Because I heard from Zhu Su before that Li Shanchang was very likely to be involved, therefore, Zhu Xi and Zhu Di's first goal was to lock on Li Shanchang's residence.When it was five watch, the two brought a team of Jinyi guards in plain clothes and squatted outside the South Korean government residence.

The housekeeper who is going to rob the South Korean government and go out to buy in the morning, please interrogate first.

"Fourth, wake up, someone came out of the corner gate!" Zhu Xi poked Zhu Di beside him.

Zhu Di was leaning against the wall holding the Xiuchun knife to catch up on sleep, and was woken up by Zhu Xi, and took a closer look: "Hey, isn't that the Korean prince Li Qi? Why are you so sneaky..."

"It's so early, and he wants to leave the house? Could it be that there is something important?"

"Is this man the eldest son of the South Korean government?" Zhu Xi immediately geared up when he heard this. "Come on, fourth child! Get ready, we'll catch him!"

"Catch Li Qi?" Zhu Di was a little stunned. "Second brother, isn't this bad?"

"Li Qi is also the eldest son of the Han Dynasty... If he tortures him without authorization, I'm afraid there will be a big incident... Besides, didn't you just want to arrest a housekeeper?"

"What do you know!" Zhu Xi showed his elder brother's appearance and gave Zhu Di a lesson. "A mere housekeeper may not know what is going on. Li Qi has a noble status. If there is really something going on under Li Shanchang's ass, how can he hide it from his own son?"

"Besides, this kind of second-generation ancestor is very soft-boned, so he will do everything by bluffing and bluffing. Where do you need to torture and ask?"

"Hurry up, he's going to turn to the main road...Where's my sack? Hurry up, share your father's worries, it's now!"
