Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 217 Chapter 217, Zhu Cihong's treasure hunt in Nanjing, Emperor Chongzhen was shocked in Beijing
As the instigator, Zhu Cihong naturally couldn't avoid it, but took an active part in it.

"Everyone, do you know how to maintain the operation of a country?" Zhu Cihong looked at the very imposing mansion in front of him, and turned to ask the ministers around him.

Zhang Shenyan and Lu Daqi looked at each other, and said, "Please enlighten me, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Of course they have their own answers, but they are also very sure that they will not say this answer here.

You have to let the leader play a role!

Zhu Cihong did his part, and said with certainty: "Of course it's money!"

The reason why Ming Dynasty perished was because of lack of money.

If you have money, you don't need to abolish the postmen. If you don't abolish the postmen, Li Zicheng will not be unemployed, and if Li Zicheng is not unemployed, he will naturally not rebel.

Soldiers in Liaodong, disaster relief in the Central Plains, and famine in the Northwest, all of these things can be solved if you have money.

When the common people of Ming Dynasty couldn't survive, it would be ridiculous to talk to the common people about patriotism and the like.

I can't survive anymore, so why do you change the dynasty?
There was a light in Zhu Cihong's eyes, and he said calmly: "So, our matter is actually very simple, and that is to make money!"

To come to Jiangnan, it is necessary to eliminate traitors like Zuo Liangyu, and it is also necessary to increase Daming's income.

How to increase?The most fundamental solution is of course to reform the system, send powerful officials to stop land mergers, and increase Ming's income.

But these things are too slow for Zhu Cihong.

Copying the house, this is what Zhu Cihong has learned from the past energy, the easiest and fastest way to make money.

Zhu Cihong walked into the mansion in front of him. This is a very exquisite mansion with a strong Jiangnan garden style. It can be called three steps and one scene, which gives people a very good impression.

Zhu Cihong has no doubt that if the house in front of him can be preserved to modern times, it will be very easy to sell it for hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions.

Beside Zhu Cihong, Zhang Shenyan and Lu Daqi couldn't help admiring in a low voice.

"The rockery and flowing water, together with the pavilions dotted here, and the scenery of the small lake in the distance, is really amazing. It must be done by everyone."

"Yes, yes, I have been here several times before. Every time I go back, I feel that my house is not pleasing to the eye."

"I think the most important thing is this rockery. It is said that this rockery imitates Mount Tai, the first of the five mountains. It is really impressive."

"Come here, smash this rockery for me!"

The last sentence was said by Zhu Cixiang.

Zhang Shenyan and Lu Daqi looked at each other. After a few seconds, Zhang Shenyan couldn't help but shouted, "Your Highness, what's the point? This rockery..."

Zhu Cihong interrupted Zhang Shenyan: "Zhang Shangshu, there is money in this rockery."

Zhang Shenyan was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

A moment later, under the pull of many soldiers, the rockery collapsed, and an entrance appeared.

After a while, the entrance was pried open, and many soldiers filed in, and began to move out boxes one by one from the inside.

Zhu Cilang confidently took a hammer, smashed the lock on a certain box several times, and then lifted the lid of the box.

"Did you two see it?"

A bright yellow light suddenly flashed out from the box, covering the faces of Zhang Shenyan and Lu Daqi in this golden light.

Zhang Shenyan opened his mouth wide, with only one thought in his mind.

"His Royal Highness, could it be that the God of Wealth was reincarnated?"

Beijing, Daming Palace.

Wang Chengen walked in quickly and said softly to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, it's lunch time."

Chongzhen let out a cry, but did not raise his head, his gaze was still fixed on the memorial in front of him, and he said, "Then pass the meal on."

A few minutes later, when the food was ready, Chongzhen stood up and began to eat.

For the emperor, the situation in front of him was already a daily occurrence.

While eating, Chongzhen casually said to Wang Chengen next to him, "Is there any news about Hong'er recently?"

Wang Chengen hurriedly said: "There is no news from the Supervisor of Rites for the time being. The three-day report from the East Factory should not arrive until tomorrow."

After all, Dongchang is an institution directly under the emperor's jurisdiction. Although it is now under the control of Zhu Cihong's confidant Fang Gongqian, it still has to report what it should.

Chongzhen let out a little disappointment, and continued to eat.

After finishing his meal soon, Chongzhen stood up and was about to take a lunch break when a report came from outside.

"Your Majesty, elder Fan Ge and several elders are asking to see you!"

Chongzhen sighed, with a surprised expression on his face.

"Didn't you just discuss with them in the morning? Forget it, let's pass it in."

Soon, several cabinet scholars including Fan Jingwen appeared in front of Chongzhen.

Chongzhen looked around at the crowd, and found that all the cabinet members had arrived, which made his expression become a little dignified: "What happened?"

Fan Jingwen smiled wryly, and raised a handful of memorials in his hand: "Your Majesty, this is a memorial from Jiangnan."

Chongzhen looked at the thick memorial in Fan Jingwen's hands, and a bad premonition began to emerge in his heart: "Jiangnan...could it be related to Lang'er?"

Fan Jingwen nodded: "Exactly. These memorials... are all for the impeachment of His Highness the Crown Prince."

The next moment, Chongzhen slapped the table directly.

"It's simply unreasonable! Bring it and show me."

When Chongzhen received the memorial, he was still very angry.

He couldn't wait to see how those useless things in Jiangnan impeached his most outstanding son.

But as he watched, Chongzhen's face slowly became gloomy.

"Wei Guogong... unexpectedly involved Wei Guogong?"

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, there were still a lot of dukes, but after so many years of ups and downs, only the four major dukes have been passed down.

Duke Ying and Duke Dingguo are in charge of Beijing, Duke Qianguo is guarding Yunnan, and Duke Wei is guarding Nanjing. They are all dangerous places and are deeply favored by the emperor.

Now that Zhu Cihong actually arrested the contemporary Wei Guogong, this matter is a bit big.

Chongzhen also understood why Fan Jingwen immediately summoned many cabinet members to the palace to ask for an audience after receiving these impeachment memorials.

It's a bit tricky.

Chongzhen raised his head, stared at several cabinet members in front of him, and said, "Dear dear ministers, please tell me, how should this matter be resolved?"

As the chief assistant, Fan Jingwen was naturally the first to speak: "Your Majesty, I feel that this matter still cannot be listened to by His Highness, and should immediately send imperial envoys to Nanjing to investigate the matter thoroughly before making any plans."
