The rise of the poor

Chapter 799 Black Heart Jiajing Emperor, Pay Back My Hard-earned Money
"Master Xiao Zhu, please accept the order."

After exchanging pleasantries, and getting back to business, Eunuch Jia, who came from Xiyuan, started his mission—proclaiming the decree.

"Minister Zhu Ping'an accepts the order."

The imperial decree is a symbol of the emperor's power. Seeing the imperial decree is like the emperor's presence. No matter who is holding the imperial decree, no matter how high an official you are, you must kneel down to receive the decree to show respect to the emperor.Zhu Pingan didn't dare to make mistakes, and took the lead and knelt down to accept the order. The old lady of Linhuaihou's mansion, Li Shu and others knelt at the later positions on both sides.

After everything was ready, Eunuch Jia opened the imperial decree in his hand. It was an imperial decree with black ox horn as the axis. The surface of the decree was brocade fabric made of high-quality silk. It is mainly earth yellow, with auspicious clouds and auspicious cranes embroidered on it, and at both ends are five-clawed golden dragons flying up and down, flying clouds and fog, full of magnificence.

The imperial decree is very long. The entire imperial decree is about one meter long and 30 centimeters wide. Eunuch Jia's arms are as wide as his shoulders, and the imperial decree hangs down by an arc.The end of the imperial decree can be vaguely seen, and the place where the time is written is covered with a square seal seal of "The Treasure of Imperial Destiny".

"By heaven, the emperor said: 'My heart is so angry that I can't hold back my anger. False accounts, shortfalls, inferior silver! The Taicang treasury has accumulated a deficit of more than 150 million taels of silver and more than 20 taels of gold. For something that has never happened before, I read it to win the hatred. Your ministers eat the king's salary and do not serve as ministers! You are not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous! Immediately set up a heavy code to abolish the law! Hands in and out and inspected The warehouse soldiers and silversmiths who participated in the robbery of Taicang will be executed immediately, and their wives, concubines and grandchildren will all be sent to Yunnan for three thousand miles; that is, they are working outside the warehouse. All the wives, concubines, and grandchildren were exiled for two thousand miles. All courtiers who dereliction of duty, dereliction of duty, or stealing money were investigated one by one and punished strictly. Regardless of whether they are loyal or not, the censors of the treasury will be pursued and punished; the successive treasury officials and the censors of the treasury will be fined 1200 taels of silver per month according to the year and month of their tenure, and the deceased will be halved according to the amount; A monthly penalty of 5000 taels of silver, and the deceased official will be halved according to the amount.” Jia Gonggong began to announce the decree.

Zhu Pingan listened from below, and he could feel Emperor Jiajing's monstrous anger through a piece of paper.

This time, Emperor Jiajing's anger was not so great, just like what he said in the imperial decree, if you are not benevolent, then don't blame me for being unrighteous.

Indeed, Emperor Jiajing's imperial decree is full of murderous aura and undisguised style of plucking wool.

Of course, those who bear the air of Emperor Jiajing's sofa in the imperial decree also deserve what they deserve, and they have suffered on their own.
Hey?
and many more?

What does this decree have to do with me?
This imperial decree seems to be a punishment imperial decree, punishing corrupt officials and recovering stolen goods. Why did Emperor Jiajing ask someone to come and read it to me?Could it be that you want to praise me for my meritorious deeds behind the imperial decree?But if it's a compliment, there's no need to spend so much irrelevant words in front, right?
not……

Zhu Ping'an was a little suspicious, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

really.

In the next second, Zhu Pingan's uneasiness was confirmed.

"On June 30th in the 1200th year of Jiajing, Wu Yixun Si Zhilang and Zhu Pingan, a member of the Hanlin Academy, were ordered to inspect Taicang. Incompetent or not, all will be pursued and punished, with a monthly penalty of 320 taels of silver. Zhu Pingan will check the treasury for eight days and pay a fine of 160 taels of silver. Annual payment, there must be no mistakes..."

Eunuch Jia's voice when he read the imperial decree was as cadenced as ever, but to Zhu Ping'an's ears, it was not like this. It seemed to be mixed with all kinds of ghost and animal choruses, and even the words that Eunuch Jia read later could not be heard clearly.

"what?"

Zhu Pingan was dumbfounded, couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, and couldn't believe his ears, as if someone had poured a basin of ice water in the middle of winter, every cell in his body protested.

Is Emperor Jiajing mentally disabled? !

Emperor Jiajing is poor and crazy, right? !
Emperor Jiajing was kicked in the head by a donkey, right? !
Big question marks popped up in Zhu Ping'an's mind.

For a while, Zhu Pingan was full of all kinds of negative contempt for Emperor Jiajing. There was really no way not to despise Emperor Jiajing. That's it, you Emperor Jiajing didn't reward or praise me as Li Kui, so why did you punish me? !And he was fined so much, 160 taels of silver!This is my salary for the past two years.

The last impeachment memorial was fined for one year, and now they have to pay two years of salary? !
When I was weak, I just started working, so I will give you two years of work in vain.

Jiajing!
Will your conscience not ache? !

From this point of view, Emperor Jiajing, the boss, couldn't be more black-hearted.

Distinct rewards and punishments, this is the most basic quality of a superior!Why did Emperor Jiajing not even understand this truth.It shouldn't be, Emperor Jiajing can be regarded as one of the few genius emperors in history, with a superb ability to play power and govern the country.

But the fact is that, I even took off my pants to check the bank, but was fined two years of salary.

"Black-hearted Emperor Jiajing, return my hard-earned money."

Zhu Pingan was so slanderous that he wanted to go to the gate of Xiyuan and run naked to protest.

Li Shu on the side also opened her mouth in surprise.
In stark contrast to Zhu Ping'an and the others are the old lady of Linhuaihou's mansion and Mrs. Linhuaihou's wife.

At the beginning, the old lady and the others thought that the imperial decree was for the Marquis of Linhuai, and thought in their hearts that the Holy Majesty was going to add an official to the Marquis of Linhuai, but they didn't expect that the imperial decree was for Zhu Ping'an, not for their own son. This disappointed the old lady.
However, now, the old lady is very happy again.

This is the emperor's imperial edict of punishment, thankfully it was not for his son Linhuaihou, otherwise it would be troublesome, although the imperial edict was only fined 160 taels of silver, which is nothing to a family like theirs, but even though the fine Not much, but this reputation is stinky, and it will affect his future career.

The old lady didn't like Li Shu's mother back then, otherwise she wouldn't have forced Li Shu's father to divorce his wife and marry another one, but unexpectedly, after marrying a wife and forgetting her mother, Li Shu's father not only refused to obey his wife, divorced his wife and married another one. Instead, she took Li Shu's mother to move out of the house, which made the old woman annoyed Li Shu's father and disliked Li Shu's mother even more.

Even the old lady doesn't like Li Shu, the granddaughter.

Love the house and Wu.

I hate the house as well as the crow.

Compared with other uncles, the old lady doesn't like Zhu Ping'an very much.When seeing Zhu Pingan for the first time, the old lady looked down on Zhu Pingan, who is simple and honest. Although the attitude of the old lady changed a little after Zhu Pingan won the first prize, but the old lady hoped to be the first prize It was her grandson Li Yanzhou, even other uncles, and even the old lady had such a thought in her heart, thinking that Zhu Pingan stole his grandson Li Yanzhou's champion.

Of course, the older and hotter the old lady will not show these psychology on the face.

Now, when they heard that the content of the imperial decree was to punish Zhu Ping'an with silver coins, they even felt a little bit of joy in their hearts.

Especially the Sixth Miss, she even took a special look at Li Shu, as if mockingly saying, Fifth Sister, let you be more embarrassing
