Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 322 Chapter 322, Zhu Cihong's thunderous means, Lord Fu surfaced
Zhu Cihong sat on the seat closest to the throne, from which everyone's faces could be clearly seen.

At this moment, except for Fang Gongqian, everyone including several other eunuchs showed shocked expressions.

Li Banghua couldn't help but said: "Eunuch Fang, your proposal is too...too radical, right?"

Shi Bangyao coughed and said, "Well, Eunuch Fang, the old man thinks that the treatment of the clan should be reduced, but it doesn't need to be so ruthless, right?"

In fact, there are not many princes in Ming Dynasty, only 25 princes and a special King of Jinjiang, totaling 26 people.

If this new policy is implemented, only these 26 people will be supported by finances in the entire Ming Dynasty in the future.

You must know that the original Da Ming wanted to support the hundreds of thousands of the Ming clan!
Suddenly cutting from hundreds of thousands to 26 people, this can no longer be described as radical, it simply does not give a way to survive!

It's no wonder that the people present were so shocked.

Fan Jingwen hurried out to smooth things over: "Eunuch Fang is still young, so it's understandable to think about things more radically, but His Royal Highness is still in charge of the overall situation, isn't it? We can take our time and discuss things from a long-term perspective."

No matter how you say it, these great Ming clans are all the blood of the Ming royal family after all, and they are relatives of Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong.

Those courtiers like Fan Jingwen, who are willing to offend the relatives of the emperor and the prince all at once?
Everyone looked at Zhu Cihong, the meaning of the target was obvious, and they all hoped that Zhu Cihong could stand up and criticize Fang Gonggan.

Doing things in the officialdom pays attention to a method and method, how can it be so simple and rude?That's not a mess.

Zhu Cilang waved his hand towards Fang Gongqian: "Old Fang, what you said is almost done, let me talk about it."

Fang Gongqian retreated into the ranks of the eunuchs, and by the way, he received strange glances from his colleagues.

Zhu Cihong stood up, and said calmly to everyone in front of him: "What Lao Fang just said is actually what I mean."

In the imperial study room, there was an instant of silence.

Then, someone couldn't hold back the shock in his heart, and exclaimed in a low voice.

Fan Jingwen was also stunned: "Your Highness, you..."

Zhu Cihong said slowly: "Serving the clan is a cancer that has been hanging on Daming's body for more than 200 years, constantly sucking his flesh and blood. I didn't have the opportunity before, but now that I have this opportunity, Naturally, this cancerous tumor must be cut off directly!"

When Zhu Cixiang spoke, his expression was very firm.

Fan Jingwen was dumbfounded, and said after a long time: "But if this order is really announced, it will definitely be opposed by the clan."

Zhu Cihong laughed loudly, and said: "Objection? So what? I'm not even afraid of the vicious Jiannu, so why are you afraid of these wastes who only lie on Daming's body and suck blood all day long?"

Fan Jingwen was speechless.

Zhu Cixiang's expression became serious and he said to everyone in front of him: "Everyone, you must know that this is the best opportunity for Ming Dynasty to solve this problem! If you miss it, then if you want to solve this problem next time, it is It’s extremely difficult.”

Why is it an opportunity?
Because after Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong made troubles in the interior of Daming, a large number of Ming clans were killed, and the power of the current Daming clan has been weakened unprecedentedly.

Of course everyone understood what Zhu Cihong meant, but they still hesitated.

Again, this is the Zhu Ming royal family, relatives of the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince.

Which beater would be able to go all out when faced with the choice of "offending all the boss's relatives all at once"?

Zhu Cilang looked around the crowd with a smile, and said: "Let me just say it straight, the clan is already the most feasible project in our treasury to increase income and reduce expenditure. If you don't support me, then I can only choose to reduce your income. He is in charge of six budgets."

When the cabinet ministers heard the words, their bodies shook suddenly.

The next moment, Fan Jingwen stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice: "I feel that what His Highness the Crown Prince said is very reasonable. The veteran minister and everyone in the household department absolutely support His Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Banghua said seriously: "Anyone who dares to oppose His Highness the Crown Prince is the enemy of our Ministry of Punishment!"

The British Duke had a righteous face: "The Ministry of War will absolutely not allow any cuts... Uh, there are people who oppose His Highness the Crown Prince!"

All cabinet ministers expressed their support for Zhu Cihong in an extremely unanimous manner.

Seeing this, Zhu Cixi smiled with great satisfaction.

"Very good, then everyone will go back and draw up an order later, and I will ask Lao Fang to wear a red seal, and then promulgate it!"

When the top management of Ming Dynasty unified their understanding, the speed of doing things was naturally very fast.

The next morning, when the people in Beijing got up, washed and left their homes to start their day, they were surprised to find that there was a decree from the highest level on the bulletin boards all over the city.

The content of the decree is very simple, the full text is as follows:
"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:

From now on, the monthly salary received by the princes of the Ming Dynasty from the treasury will be reduced to [-]% of the original amount, and the monthly salary will be canceled for everyone below the prince. "

In the lower right corner of the decree, the person who issued the decree is clearly stated.

"The crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cihong!"

This news actually did not cause much disturbance in the hearts of most ordinary people in Beijing.

For them, no matter whether it is the prince, or the clan of the Ming Dynasty such as the father-in-law, the uncle, the lord, etc., they are all big figures on the clouds, and it is nothing more than the difference between the first-level Tiangong and the 36th-level Tiangong.

Of course, ordinary people will always like to hear such news of "big people being deflated", so everyone will discuss it enthusiastically, and then do what they should do.

But for those parties, things are completely different.

In fact, the clans of the Ming Dynasty were relatively concentrated, with Beijing City, Nanjing City, and Fengyang, the central capital, being the places with the largest number of people.

After hearing the news, all the clans in Beijing were blown away.

One must know that most of the people in these clans are idlers, and rely on this money to live without doing anything every day. Now that Daming has cut off this income, is there any way out?

So, they immediately ran to the Ministry of Rites to make a big fuss.

However, when he came to the Ministry of Rites, he found that the Shang Shu and the two servants had already run away, and even most of the staff of the Ministry of Rites were gone. Only a very old man was sitting there, tremblingly looking at these clans.

Just when the clan members were at their wit's end, several attendants rushed over suddenly.

"Everyone, King Fu invites you to go over and discuss this matter carefully. We must make the mastermind behind the scenes pay the price."
