Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 27 27, Wei Zaode resigned and forced Zhu Cihong to refuse an inch

Zhu Cilang looked at Wei Zaode, and was not surprised by the slap in the face of the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty.

Judging from the "treasure maps" issued by the system, although Wei Zaode's family does not have much money, they still have more than [-] taels in cash.

This is mainly because Wei Zaode has not been in the cabinet for a long time as a bachelor, just two or three years, and he has only been the chief assistant for a few days, so he hasn't had time to save money yet.

Wei Zaode's criticism of Zhu Cihong was also quite severe. Kings of subjugation like Xia Jie, Shang Zhou, etc. came out, but Zhu Cihong didn't take it seriously at all.

This group of ministers likes it like this. When they go online, they have to say everything very seriously.

Otherwise, how can the emperor be obedient?
Zhu Cihong said indifferently: "So, what Elder Wei Ge means is that you don't want to support Daming in raising troops to resist Li Zicheng's attack?"

Wei Zaode was momentarily stunned when he heard the words, but quickly realized, and said, "Of course the old minister supports it, but..."

"No, but!" Zhu Cihong directly interrupted Wei Zaode's words, and said coldly: "Now Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses are attacking the city, and the Duke of England and many Ming soldiers are desperately blocking their attack in order to buy us time. , Recruit more soldiers and horses to gain hope of defending Beijing and even counterattack!
You guys have been spoiled by your father, do you think I'm here to discuss with you today?I tell you, this is an order!You have to choose one of the choices I gave you, otherwise, don't blame me for taking Dongchang fanzi to copy all your homes one by one! "

At the end, Zhu Cihong spoke harshly, and the entire hall was completely silent.

Everyone looked at Zhu Cihong with expressions other than shock.

This prince is really...too decisive.

But this kind of decision was a huge psychological pressure on the ministers of the Ming Dynasty present.

Fifty percent of the family wealth, this is not a small number.

Although it is a loan, who is still unclear about Daming's situation?

The national treasury has long run out of money, and all the officials in the capital are in arrears of wages for at least half a year, or even a year.

Such a Daming, does he really have the money to pay off his debts?
Wei Zaode's expression also changed, and his heart was churning endlessly.

Wei Zaode was naturally the first to bear the brunt of what Zhu Cihong said.

Wei Zaode took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "Since the crown prince is so determined to go his own way, there is nothing the old minister can do. It's just that the old minister is exhausted now, and the position of a bachelor can no longer be held. I also ask the crown prince and His Majesty to show mercy and let the old minister resign and return to his old age." Bar!"

After Wei Zaode finished speaking, the audience was in an uproar again.

After all, Wei Zaode was the chief assistant of the Ming cabinet, and the impact of his public resignation was quite strong.

Everyone knows that Wei Zaode's attack is also a counterattack against Zhu Cihong!
The tyranny was so cruel that the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty had to resign. The words that got out were also a huge blow to Zhu Cihong and Chongzhen.

Now, it depends on how Zhu Cihong accepts the move.

Zhu Cihong looked at Wei Zaode and smiled.

"No problem. Since Mr. Wei thinks that you are not capable, then you really don't need to be the chief assistant of this cabinet. This palace represents the father, yes!"

Wei Zaode was taken aback.

Obviously, he did not expect that Zhu Cihong would agree so readily.

At the very least, you should hesitate and struggle for a while, right?

But when things got to this point, Wei Zaode had no choice, so he bowed his hands to Zhu Cihong and was about to leave the hall.

At this moment, Zhu Cihong's voice came again: "Stop!"

Wei Zaode raised his head and saw Zhu Cihong's expressionless face.

"Mr. Wei, of course you can resign if you resign, but have you forgotten the imperial father's will? Including you, everyone in the hall must abide by the imperial father's will!"

A chill rose in Wei Zaode's heart, and he couldn't help but said: "Prince, you..."

Zhu Cihong walked in front of Wei Zaode, and said coldly: "Tell me, do you want to lend [-]% of Daming's family wealth, or let Bengong take the Dongchang fans to your house?"

At this moment, Wei Zaode's expression was wonderful.

After a while, Wei Zaode gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, the old minister's family really has no money. If the prince doesn't believe it, please go to the old minister's house to have a look!"

Wei Zaode also has no way out. If he chooses to donate money at this time, it is tantamount to surrendering to Zhu Cihong. Then his resignation just now to fight against Zhu Cihong seems like a joke. charges.

Therefore, Wei Zaode can only bear it to the end.

What's more, Wei Zaode felt that his own treasure house was absolutely safe!

Zhu Cihong laughed out loud.

"Very good, very good. How about this, to give you a little warning, all the ministers present today, follow me to Mr. Wei's mansion!"

Thus, all the officials of the Ming Dynasty in Fengtian Palace followed Zhu Cihong to Wei Zaode's mansion.

After this period of psychological construction, Wei Zaode's mentality has improved a lot, and he stood at the door of his house with a frank face, and said loudly to Zhu Cihong: "Your Highness, this is the warehouse of the old minister's house, please follow the old minister to the warehouse. Let's see. If there is more than one thousand cash, then the veteran must hand it all in!"

Wei Zaode's voice is very loud, because he just wants everyone to hear.

So here comes the question, isn't Wei Zaode worried that Zhu Cihong will find him?

Yes, he was not worried, because only he knew about the treasure house in Wei Zaode's mansion.

Even the transfer of money was done secretly by Wei Zaode in the middle of the night with his wife.

Therefore, Wei Zaode was very sure that Zhu Cihong could find the things belonging to Cao Huachun and Zhou Kui's family, but he could never find the treasure in Wei Zaode's family!

Zhu Cihong looked at Wei Zaode in front of him and smiled.

Once upon a time, Cao Huachun and Zhou Kui had the same expressions in front of Zhu Cihong.

then……

Zhu Cihong raised his head and looked at Wei Zaode's mansion in front of him.

Well, it's old, and in that "old" style.

Without even thinking about it, Zhu Cilang walked directly towards the back house.

Wei Zaode was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Prince, I went wrong!"

Zhu Cihong laughed: "Wrong? No, that's right!"

According to the treasure map in his mind, Zhu Cihong soon came to a certain house in Wei Zaode's mansion.

Zhu Cihong pointed to this house and said to Wei Zaode, "What kind of place is this?"

Wei Zaode's expression became a little uneasy, and he said: "This is the study of the old minister, Your Highness, if you want to see it, you have to go to the warehouse to see it."

Behind the two of them, many courtiers of the Ming Dynasty had some inexplicable expressions on their faces, but some of them seemed to understand something.

Zhu Cihong smiled slightly, and said to Wei Zaode: "Indeed, according to common sense, you should go to the warehouse to look. However, there are always some people who think they are smart and think that if they change to another place, no one will find it!"

After saying this, Zhu Cihong directly opened the door of Wei Zaode's study and walked in.
