Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 28 28, Wei Zaode has nothing left, and all the ministers donate money
Seeing Zhu Cihong walking into the study so resolutely, Wei Zaode was dumbfounded.

The next moment, Wei Zaode suddenly came to his senses and howled in an instant: "Your Highness, there are a lot of old minister's things inside, it's inconvenient not to go in!"

Wei Zaode rushed into the study with a sensitivity that did not match his age, trying to stop Zhu Cihong.

But by this time it was too late.

Just when Wei Zaode entered the study, he happened to see Zhu Cihong reach out and press hard on a gap in the bookshelf on the wall of the study.

Zhu Cixiang was so familiar with it, as if he had been to this study countless times.

After Zhu Cihong finished his movements, the bookshelf in front of him suddenly slid open without a sound, revealing a secret door.

Wei Zaode was stunned, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Wei Zaode felt that no one else knew about this secret room, so how did Zhu Cihong know about it?

Zhu Cihong smiled slightly, and said in a loud voice: "Fang Gongqian, what are you still doing in a daze? Bring someone in, take a good inventory, and take out all the things inside, so that the adults outside can have a look!"

Wei Zaode opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out.

At this moment, the soul of the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have been suddenly sucked out.

The ministers of the Ming Dynasty outside the study, although they couldn't see what happened inside, the conversations coming from inside undoubtedly explained everything.

After a while, when Fang Gongqian led the Dongchang fanzi out of treasure boxes one after another, and opened these boxes in public to reveal the silver inside, everything had been settled.

Zhu Cilang looked at the pale Wei Zaode, and said very calmly: "Mr. Wei, you kept saying that your family really couldn't even get any money out. Then I would like to ask, from the secret room of your house Could it be that the silver that was taken out all fell from the sky?"

Wei Zaode was speechless, his mind was blank at this time, and he didn't know what to say at all.

If only Wei Zaode and Zhu Cihong were present, maybe Wei Zaode could find a way to intercede, but now in front of so many colleagues, how could Wei Zaode be able to do so?

Zhu Cihong chuckled, and said: "Since Mr. Wei has resigned from his position as the Chief Assistant of the Ming Dynasty, naturally, this palace will not pursue it too much.

Come here, remember to leave 1000 taels of silver for Mr. Wei, and all other things will be taken away by Bengong, don't keep anything! "

After hearing Zhu Cihong's words, Wei Zaode felt his feet go limp, and sat down on the ground.

This time, not only Wei Zaode's wealth collected over the years was taken away, but more importantly, Wei Zaode's reputation was also ruined.

Yes, as the chief assistant of Ming Dynasty, when the country was in crisis, he quietly hid all his wealth in a secret room, and he was not willing to give a single cent to help Daming.

After this kind of thing gets out, will there be a place for Wei Zaode in this world in the future?

After doing all this, Zhu Cihong turned around and looked at the officials of the Ming Dynasty with a smile.

"Cao Huachun thought his family's treasure house was very secret, but Ben Gong found it.

Zhou Guozhang also felt that his family's treasure house was very secret, but unfortunately it was found by me.

You have all seen what Mr. Wei is doing now.

So I just want to ask you one question, do you want to lend Daming [-]% of your wealth, or should I go to your houses one by one to search for them? "

After listening to Zhu Cixiang's words, everyone's expressions changed.

Yes, if it is once or twice, it is still a coincidence, but the same thing has happened three times in a row. Is it really just a coincidence?
If he gives in now, he can exchange for peace in the name of lending half of his family wealth to Ming. Otherwise, his house will be confiscated directly like Wei Zaode in front of him.

Finally, one of the ministers spoke.

"What the prince said is very true. The veteran is willing to lend half of his net worth, a total of 15 taels, to subsidize Daming. I hope Daming can survive this calamity!"

As soon as the voice came out, everyone turned their heads and found that it was Ding Guogong.

Ding Guogong is also one of the four great kingdoms of the Ming Dynasty, so it is not surprising that he can spend so much money.

Following Ding Guogong's opening, other ministers of the Ming Dynasty also spoke one after another.

"The old minister is also willing to lend half of his wealth to the Ming government. After the old minister returns, he will be sent to the treasury immediately."

"The minister is also willing to borrow half of his wealth, but he hopes that the crown prince can supervise him properly and use the money on the right path."

Gradually, most of the ministers present spoke up, and they all chose to hand over half of their wealth.

There is no way to do this, after all, Wei Zaode's lesson from the past is right in front of him, and no one dares to bet whether this supernatural prince really has insight into the treasure house of everyone's family.

Of course, it is possible that some people here may have handed over the money under false pretenses. It is not impossible that they already hated Ming Dynasty half to death and were determined to defect to Li Zicheng.

But no matter what, at least from the outside, everyone has fully agreed with Zhu Cixiang's suggestion.

Looking at the ministers of the Ming Dynasty in front of him, a smile appeared on Zhu Cihong's face, and then his expression gradually became serious.

Zhu Cihong put away his pistol, put his hands on his chest, and solemnly bowed to all the ministers in front of him.

"On behalf of my father and all the people of Daming, I would like to thank you all for your generosity.

I know very well that you must be feeling uncomfortable right now. After all, is it a good idea to spend so much of your wealth in one go to save a dynasty that doesn't know if there will be a tomorrow?If I were in a different place from you, I would also think so in my heart.

It is true that in the past ten years, Da Ming has suffered a lot of hardships, and he has taken many detours.

But I can assure you here that Daming will never perish.

Not only will Daming not perish, but it will become even more prosperous. All the money that you donate here today will receive extremely considerable returns in the future.

One day, ten or 20 years later or in the distant future, when your children and grandchildren walk around your knees and ask about your behavior today, you can tell them proudly from the bottom of your heart that you helped me save the world. Daming! "

……

Half a day later, Zhu Cixiang, who was escorting a large amount of wealth back to the palace with a group of Dongchang fans, heard the sound of the system in his mind.

"Congratulations to the host for overfulfilling the task and getting 1208 million taels of silver as military pay. Special rewards will be issued soon!"
