The Regent makes me unstoppable [Transmigration Book]

In the end, the Ministry of Household Statistics calculated that more than 80 officials who went to court today reported a total donation of more than [-] taels of silver.

After the Ministry of Household Statistics was finished, Shen Ying asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to register the things he had brought over, and all the officials kowtowed in unison to ask the emperor to take back the things, otherwise they would really be ashamed of being courtiers like them.

Shen Ying pretended that he wanted to share the joys and sorrows with the ministers and insisted on donating. It was not until the ministers three times asked the emperor to take back the order that Shen Ying "reluctantly" agreed to take the things back.

The ministers wanted face, but Shen Ying only wanted money, and since he had already paid for it, Shen Ying didn't bother to flirt with them anymore. He really couldn't bear to donate so much treasure.

Shen Ying's "moral kidnapping" killed the Queen Mother and Guo Jiuchen by surprise. They only knew that the emperor had to pay for the army out of his own pocket. They originally planned that as long as the ministers refused to cooperate, the emperor would have nothing to do. The family robs money.

But they didn't expect that when they went to court, a Changping princess would be killed, forcing all the officials to take the initiative to pay, lest they be compared by a weak woman and a group of court ladies and eunuchs. In that case, what kind of face will they have in the future? Standing above the imperial court, wouldn't it be ridiculed by the people of the world.

When the Queen Mother heard about what had happened in the morning, she was so angry that she broke several teacups in Shou'an Palace.

"Someone must have taught him to do this! Then how could Changping be so coincidental that he insisted on asking to see the emperor when all civil and military officials were in court? And what she said, someone must have taught her behind her back!"

Guo Jiuchen sighed helplessly: "The empress dowager calmed down, the old slave realized something strange about it after the fact, but at that time in the court, the ministers responded to donate money for the sake of face, and the old minister couldn't say anything more. The matter has come to an end. It's useless to say these things, but it also shows us that some ministers still have expectations for the emperor in their hearts, and they are very active when donating money."

The queen mother sneered, "The grass on both ends of the first mouse, I feel sorry for them."

Guo Jiuchen smiled obsequiously: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, this old slave knows what to do."

After such a while, the queen mother also calmed down, "This time it was the mourning family who underestimated the enemy, which gave the emperor a chance to stand up." After finishing speaking, there was a gloomy look in his eyes, and he snorted coldly, "But next time , he is not so lucky. You should check carefully for Aijia to find out who is behind the scenes to help the emperor make suggestions. Aijia does not believe that the emperor's brain can come up with such a method. There must be someone behind him ! Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find that man for Aijia!"

Guo Jiuchen saluted and said: "This old slave will obey the Queen Mother's order!"

—

The queen mother did not believe that Shen Ying, an idiot who was ignorant before, suddenly changed his mind and came up with such a coup, thinking that Shen Ying was secretly assisted by the young and crouching dragons.

But where did she expect it, Shen Ying really had a different mind.

Although Shen Ying has never been an emperor, he has been interested in history since he was a child, otherwise he would not have taken the risk of not being able to find a good job after graduation. He chose history as a major in college, and in his mind, he pretended to be 5000 years old. .

There are many examples of ancient emperors asking ministers to donate money to raise money. For example, at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Jin soldiers captured Kaifeng, and the entire city of Kaifeng was almost emptied by Song Qinzong to compensate the Jin people. For example, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen asked ministers to donate money to beat Li Zicheng. But the ministers thought that Emperor Chongzhen was not worthy of allegiance, and they cried poorly and refused to pay the money. Until Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, the amount of money seized from the officials of the Ming Dynasty was as much as 8000 million taels!

The Great Ying Dynasty was not as serious as the Northern Song Dynasty when it faced the crisis of national subjugation. Shen Ying wanted the ministers to pay, and he could not directly send troops to the ministers and the people's homes to rob the money like Song Qinzong, but he also knew the lessons learned by Emperor Chongzhen. Well, it is impossible to impress these selfish ministers and make them willing to pay by just playing the emotional card.

That's why he thought of using the method of moral kidnapping to force the ministers to pay. Fortunately, these ministers of his have not yet reached the point of being hopeless, and they still have a little sense of shame.

The furnishings in Yongle Palace were moved back, and it took a whole day to tidy up and restore them to their original state.

Shen Ying moved back to Yongle Palace that night, and after reading the memorabilia presented by the household department the next day, he said that officials of all sizes in Beijing and China had already paid in full the donations, and the money had already been collected into the treasury.

Shen Ying looked at the numbers on the playbook, and couldn't help snorting, "I just collected more than 80 taels of silver, these old things, just kill them!"

Xie Yu, as the editor of the Imperial Academy, came to lecture on the history of scriptures to the emperor today. Hearing the emperor's complaints, he couldn't help lowering his voice and said: "I heard that Guo Daban's [-]th birthday is coming up, and it's just birthday gifts from the state capitals and vassal kings. , add up to a million taels of silver."

Shen Ying stared at Xie Yu with wide eyes: "Really?"

Xie Yu nodded solemnly, "I have an old friend who is an official in Sujiang. The magistrate of Sujiang was single-handedly promoted by Guo Jiuchen. The old friend was appointed by the prefect of Sujiang to come to Beijing to give gifts to Guo Jiuchen. He told me that the magistrate of Sujiang is alone. The gift to Guo Jiuchen is worth 10 taels."

Shen Ying suddenly became furious, "How unreasonable!"

Guo Jiuchen is just an eunuch, a servant of the royal family, and his birthday is so ostentatious!

One million taels of silver, so much people's fat and people's cream, just went into the pocket of Guo Jiuchen, a eunuch, and I can't be reconciled when I think about it.

Shen Ying rolled her eyes, suddenly thought of something, and waved to Xie Yu, asking him to lean over and ask him in a low voice: "Guo Jiuchen's [-]th birthday is next month, so the people who came to Beijing to give him gifts from all over the place should not be here yet, right? "

"Going back to the emperor, it should be. Some state capitals are far away, and the road to Beijing may take a lot of time." Xie Yu didn't understand, "Why did the emperor ask this?"

"I was thinking, if only some green forest heroes could rob Guo Jiuchen's birthday gift, it would be considered as robbing the rich and helping the poor, it would be better than falling into Guo Jiuchen's purse." Shen Ying didn't tell Xie Yu said that he thought of the story in "Water Margin", where Wu Yong and Chao Gai outwitted the birth plan.

After Xie Yu listened, his expression was a little surprised. Xie Yu had read the books of sages and sages, and he restrained himself in every word and deed according to the requirements of a standard scholar-bureaucrat. The so-called green forest heroes are just bandits and robbers. I never thought of relying on those bandits to deal with Guo Jiuchen.

After all, the Tao is different, and they do not conspire.

Xie Yu felt that he had the responsibility to persuade the emperor, correct the emperor's wrong thoughts, and lead the emperor to the right path, so he said: "Your majesty, robbing the rich and helping the poor is an unrighteous act after all, and it is not worth advocating, and the people of the green forest occupy the mountains and become kings." , are all rough people who ignore the court's laws and rules, and they are really unbearable to be with them."

Shen Ying was amused by the appearance of Xie Yu admonishing him in a serious manner. Xie Yu is a serious person who reads sage books, but Shen Ying is not. He knows that he has some ideas and speaks out. In the eyes of people in this dynasty, it is deviant and cannot be understood by the world , so I don't want to explain it to Xie Yuduo for the time being.

Shen Ying waved her hands and smiled: "I just said it casually, just as a joke, how could I really go to a group of bandits and robbers to steal money, then what have I become?"

Forget it, let Guo Jiuchen, that old dog, be proud for a while. When he takes real power and overthrows the Queen Mother Guo Jiuchen's party, he will confiscate Guo Jiuchen's house, and the money that Guo Jiuchen embezzled will not be all in the end. his?

Shen Ying thought of something again, leaned back on the dragon chair, folded her arms and asked Xie Yu leisurely: "By the way, all the officials in Beijing have donated money, so did you, the editor of the Imperial Academy, donate?"

Xie Yu smiled wryly, "Of course I donated it. Is it okay if I don't donate it? Waiting to be stabbed in the back? Your majesty, your trick is really enough... It's amazing. I only received two months' salary, and I didn't earn any money." Now, let me donate 200 taels of silver first, and I don’t even have money left to buy wine. I’m fine, but it’s just that I have suffered a lot from Editor Liu. You know the situation of his family. He complained to Chen privately, saying that he knew about it. Officials still have to pay back money, so it’s better to go home and farm.”

Shen Ying laughed loudly after hearing this, pointed at Xie Yu and scolded with a smile: "Well, Xie Yu, don't think I don't know that you want to say that I'm 'damaged' instead of 'absolute'. That's all right, don't complain, you I just pay you back the money, but your money has already arrived at the household department, so it’s not easy to take it out, so I can only pay you back with my own money.”

Xie Yu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I was just joking, not really reluctant to part with the money. The Emperor wants to fight against Mongolia, and I have 1 supporters. As long as the Emperor needs it, even if the Xie family loses all their wealth, I will never dare to have it." A half-word complaint!"

Shen Ying smiled lightly, put her hands on her knees and patted, "I know you are loyal, but I still have to pay you back the money, and you also bring Liu Xie's to him for me, I know your salary Meager, I'd better keep this little money to support my family. Besides, I still have something to ask you to do for me."

Xie Yu's expression was moved, and he saluted gratefully: "I thank the emperor for his understanding, what the emperor wants me to do, please tell me."

Shen Ying handed over the list of donations listed by the household department to Xie Yu, "I know that there are some poor officials in Beijing, and this time I forced them to donate together. You can check who they are. Quietly return all the money to them for me."

Xie Yu immediately understood the deep meaning of the emperor's move. Those poor officials who donated money had complained about the emperor in their hearts. Now that the money is returned to them, they will be grateful to the emperor. This is a way to win people's hearts. It's wonderful!

Xie Yu couldn't help admiring the emperor's scheming, looked at Shen Ying and said in awe: "The emperor is kind-hearted and considerate of his subordinates. I first thank the emperor for his kindness on their behalf!"

—

As the Dragon Boat Festival approached, King Pingyang, who had smallpox and recuperated in a Taoist temple on a mountain outside the capital, finally "cured".

Earlier, Gu Min went to beg Guo Jiuchen, begging Guo Jiuchen to let King Pingyang return to his vassal land.

In fact, not long after Du Qianren fell from power, the case of King Pingyang's treason had been investigated long ago, but Guo Jiuchen has been refusing to let King Pingyang go, just wanting to use King Pingyang to blackmail Gu Min.

But later Gu Min sacrificed his life to save his life, and King Pingyang, who was tortured in prison and became weak, suffered from smallpox. It's a favor, but he didn't expect that King Pingyang would be so lucky and recover from his illness!

Now he agreed to Gu Min to release King Pingyang back to the feudal land, and he could not go back on his word. After reporting to the Queen Mother and the emperor, he could only agree that King Pingyang would leave the capital.

The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Gu Min sent King Pingyang out of Beijing. The group walked to the outskirts. Looking at the green mountains and green waters in front of them, King Pingyang, who had been detained for several months in Beijing to report his duties, finally had the feeling of seeing the light of day again.

"It's a long way from Minyang. My adoptive father must take care of himself." Gu Min got off his horse and knelt down on one knee to bid farewell to King Pingyang. You don't have to worry about being a father, you should worry more about yourself, the capital is turbulent, and you are alone between the empress dowager and the emperor, so being a father is really worrying."

Gu Min smiled and said, "Father, don't worry, the child will be careful in everything and act prudently."

King Pingyang nodded, and said in a low voice: "I will leave the shadow guard to you, and Cang Falcon will only take orders from you in the future, so that you will have an extra helper in Beijing."

Gu Min said gratefully, "Thank you foster father."

King Pingyang suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I heard that the emperor is going to fight Mongolia? When will the army leave? When I return to Minyang, I will raise food and pay. I don't know if it will be delivered before the army goes out."

King Pingyang has guarded the southern border for Daying for many years. He is a loyal man. Although he was wrongly imprisoned this time, the general still does not forget to care about the country's war.

Gu Minrao raised the corners of his mouth meaningfully, "Father, don't worry, this battle may not be won for the time being."

King Pingyang wondered, "Why?"

Gu Min sneered, and said disdainfully: "The Tatar envoy heard that the emperor and princess of Daying donated even sleeping pillows and pearls and hairpin jewelry as military pay, and seeing that the people in the capital were excited, even if it was a waste of money. Wanting to donate money to support the imperial court’s war with Mongolia, I was so scared that I slipped back to Mongolia that night. Presumably, after the envoys went back to explain the situation to their Khan, the Mongols should not be confused. The choice at this time is just the unity of the king and the people. When the time comes, start a war with Daying."

King Pingyang thought for a while after hearing this, and then he sighed: "The way to use troops to win is nothing but the banner of justice, the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and the art of disturbing the mind. Conquering Mongolia and protecting the frontier and defending the land are just acts. The army and the people are united, and they can be called the division of benevolence and righteousness. Before the army is launched, it is a technique to frighten the enemy. If this battle is fought, it will definitely win."

Gu Min laughed and said: "Although the adoptive father is imprisoned, he is not unfamiliar with the way of using soldiers at all."

King Pingyang punched Gu Min, pretending to be angry and said: "Stinky boy, you dare to make fun of me! But," King Pingyang paused, a little worried, "It is definitely not easy for someone to come up with such a plan. Seniors, do you know whether this was planned by the Pope, or the Emperor planned it himself?"

Gu Min's eyes drooped, and he was silent for a moment, he wasn't really sure.

If it was all done by Shen Ying alone, then this emperor's scheming is terrifying.

But if the strategy is not what the emperor thinks, then who is the master behind the scenes?

King Pingyang patted Gu Min on the shoulder, "Okay, my father won't tell you any more. In short, you must be careful when you do things in Beijing. No matter what you do, you must leave room for yourself and take care of yourself first." ,Understand?"

Gu Min nodded, "My child understands."

"Both of you, it's getting late. If you don't leave, you will have to sleep in the wilderness tonight." Jiang Shuiping patted his horse over and smiled, "Don't worry, Lord Gu, I will take good care of you!"

Gu Min helped King Pingyang mount his horse, watched Pingyang King and Jiang Shuiping's disappearing backs together on the official road, turned around and rode on his horse, and returned to the capital alone.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the gate of the city, he met a group of Jin Yiwei who had come out of the city to look for him.

"My lord, I finally found you! Something serious has happened! Mr. Liu, please go back to Beizhen Fusi immediately!"

Gu Min reined in the horse, frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Jin Yiwei said in a low voice mysteriously: "Several prefectures sent gifts to Beijing to celebrate the birthday of the factory owner, but they were all robbed by a group of unknown people! The factory owner was furious and ordered Jin Yiwei to solve the case within ten days and send the birthday gift Find it!"

—

The news that Guo Jiuchen's [-]th birthday gift was robbed by gangsters could not contain the fire, and within half a day, it reached Shen Ying's ears, and Shen Ying was both happy and angry.

The joy is that there are actually a group of heroes who are not afraid of power and dare to do this kind of thing on behalf of the sky!If there is a chance to meet each other in the future, he must have a drink with these green forest heroes!

What makes him angry is that if he knew that the money was so easy to grab, he should have acted first, even if he couldn't find the real bandits, even if he could find a group of people to pretend to be?

Gu Min, as the commander of Jin Yiwei, was appointed by Guo Jiuchen to investigate the robbery of the birthday gift. He was so busy that he stayed outside for three consecutive days and did not return to the palace.

After King An heard the news, he remembered that the next door to his county palace had raised a beautiful woman for the emperor, so he encouraged the emperor to go out of the palace to have a tryst with Ling Qingheng to cultivate their relationship while Gu Min was not in the palace.

In the past few days, Mongolia has been settled first, and Guo Jiuchen has no time to find fault with the emperor because of looking for birthday gifts. As soon as it got dark, the emperor sneaked out of the palace with his people.

In order to deceive others, Shen Ying, like last time, pretended to be a guest of the Prince An's Mansion, and entered the courtyard where Ling Qingheng lived through the secret door on the wall of the Prince's Mansion. I met Ling Qingheng playing the piano in the garden.

Hearing from Prince An, Ling Qingheng seldom goes out, and there are only one old servant and a little bookboy who serve him by his side. Shen Ying thought that there should be no danger, so she asked the guards to stay on standby, with only one Shuoyu went to look for Ling Qingheng in the yard.

Passing through a long corridor, Shen Ying saw a light in a room not far away, thought that Ling Qingheng was inside, and walked towards the light.

Taking a closer look, someone opened a window in front of the house. Shen Ying originally wanted to knock on the door to ask if there was anyone inside, but suddenly, for some reason, she walked to the window and sneaked her head into the room. Glanced.

Unexpectedly, it's okay if you don't take aim, but you will be shocked when you take a look!

After Shen Ying saw the situation in the room, she immediately retracted her head. There were indeed people in the room, but there were only two people. Besides Ling Qingheng, there was also a man with a strong body!

Why do you say men are strong?

Because the man was injured on his shoulder and took off his shirt, Ling Qingheng was applying medicine to him.

Shen Ying's heart beat faster and faster, but luckily he was calm enough, seeing this, he didn't cry out in fright.

After taking a rough look just now, Shen Ying recognized that the man's shoulder should have been injured by an arrow. Ordinary people would not be hit by an arrow, so the identity of this man is very suspicious.

Well, he knew that Ling Qingheng's identity was not simple. That idiot Shen Han said that Ling Qingheng was usually very honest when he didn't leave home. If he was honest, where did this man come from?

Shen Ying is glad that he didn't knock on the door just now, otherwise Ling Qingheng would have discovered that he had come, and maybe he would have been murdered and silenced because he saw something he shouldn't have seen. He patted his chest silently, so dangerous so close.

Shen Ying turned her head and made a "shh" gesture to Shuoyu who was following behind her, and then signaled Shuoyu to go back quietly. Shuoyu nodded to show that she understood, but who would have thought that Shuoyu would not know when she turned around He stepped on something, and there was a light sound under his feet.

Shen Ying was almost knocked out of his body by the sound made by Shuo Yu. How could the plots that must be discovered in TV dramas happen to him as long as he eavesdropped and watched them?

Shen Ying wasn't sure if the people inside had heard the commotion outside, and before anyone came out, she quickly dragged Shuoyu along and sneaked away. However, before he could walk ten steps away, there was the sound of the door opening and the A hurried footstep.

"Who's out there!"

Shen Ying's heart skipped a beat when she heard the low shout, she didn't even care about looking back to see what was going on, she rushed forward, and was about to call loudly for the guards to come and rescue her, when suddenly her eyes blurred, and a figure came from Shen Ying Flashed in front of him, but in the blink of an eye, Ling Qingheng had already fallen from the sky and landed firmly in front of Shen Ying, blocking his way.

Shen Ying slammed on the brakes, stabilized her figure, and stared at Ling Qingheng dumbfounded, "You, how did you catch up to me? That just now...was lightness kung fu?"

Ling Qingheng recognized Shen Ying, a look of surprise flashed across his face, then his eyes turned cold, and he asked in a deep voice: "So it was you, when did you come?"

"I just came here not long ago, and I suddenly remembered that there was still soup stewing on the stove at home, so I left first! No need to give it away! No need to give it away!" Shen Ying wanted to get away with it, but Ling Qingheng was not stupid, and reached out to stop him, "You just now What did you see outside?"

Shen Ying said solemnly: "I didn't see anything!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Shuoyu was eager to protect his master, and stopped in front of Shen Ying and said righteously: "Emperor...young master, you go first, servants are here to stop him!"

Before Shen Ying had time to be moved by Yu Shuoyu's loyalty, Ling Qingheng made a sudden move and slashed neatly on Shuoyu's neck with a knife. Shuoyu fell down limply without even saying "ah".

Shen Ying: "..."

Ling Qingheng wore a green shirt, fluttering in the wind, standing alone with his hands behind his back, quite like a martial arts master in a martial arts novel.

Shen Ying was dumbfounded, shit, this weak-looking Ling Qingheng, the crooked protagonist Shou, is actually a Lianjiazi?

Who the hell would have thought of this? !

Ling Qingheng's handsome face was indifferent, "I'm sorry, since you have seen it all, please forgive me for not letting you go like this."

Shen Ying took a step back and tried to stay calm, "Ling Qingheng, what do you want to do? I warn you not to mess around, the Anjun Palace is next door, if something happens to me, within a stick of incense, the people in the Anjun Palace will I found you here, believe it or not!"

In the stalemate, suddenly an old servant trotted over panting, shouting as he ran, "Young master is not good! Suddenly many guards in royal clothes came outside to search our yard, what should we do?"

At this time, the injured man in the room heard the old servant's voice, he also put on his clothes and came out, angrily said: "You really deserve to be a dog in Jinyi, with a sharper nose than a dog, chasing me all the way, the ghost is lingering! At worst, go out and fight with them!"

Ling Qingheng said calmly: "Don't worry, the matter is not at this point yet."

The man walked up to Ling Qingheng, frowned at Shen Ying, and asked Ling Qingheng, "Who is he?"

Shen Ying raised the folding fan in her hand and waved it, and said with a dry smile: "You have to do your work in advance, just pretend that I don't exist."

The man sneered, pulled out the sword in his hand, looked at Shen Ying with cold eyes, and said to Ling Qingheng: "Since he found out about us, he can't keep this person. Before Jinyigou comes in, why don't you take him away first?" He killed it."

Shen Ying quickly reached out her hand to stop the man from approaching her, "Don't do anything to that hero, isn't he the Jinyiwei? To tell you the truth, I have acquaintances in the Jinyiwei. If I save my life, maybe I can help you guys?"

"Really?" Ling Qingheng stepped forward and stretched out his hand to block the man, and said with a slight smile, "If we robbed Master Jin Yiwei, can you help us to intercede?"

Shen Ying blinked her eyes when she heard the words, her heart skipped a beat, did she steal something from Master Jin Yiwei?

Could it be what he guessed it meant?

no?Is there such a coincidence?

He just said two days ago that he wanted to have a good drink with the green forest hero who robbed Guo Jiuchen of his birthday gift, so he met him today? !

The author has something to say: Xiao Gu: Have you guys finished talking?open the door for me, please?

In addition, regarding the plot of moral kidnapping and asking officials to donate money, I have cited examples from the Northern Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty in this chapter. The plot of donating money is not something I imagined out of my head. It has historical records. If some readers think it is unreasonable, please explain What is unreasonable, why is it unreasonable, if you are right, I accept your correction, and I can even modify the text according to what you said, but if there is nothing to say, then I cannot agree.
