The Best Fake Eunuch

Zhu Xiaochuan has always been a good man, and he has a good relationship with all the officials in the court, so it is reasonable for him to protect Chen Chengji.

Surprisingly, Wang Anbang, who hated Chen Jisheng the most, even went up to intercede, and what he said was quite sincere, which surprised everyone.

what's the situation?

"Chen Jisheng is ridiculous, he has no king, he is really hateful! However, the words of Marquis Pingyang and Anbang seem to have a little bit of truth, which makes me embarrassed. Dear friends, what do you think?"

Li Wanjiang's face was as deep as water, his tone was calm, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry?

So there was silence, and a needle could be heard.

"It's so noisy at ordinary times, and you keep silent when you ask about things. Why do you see that I'm so harsh on the speaker that you don't even dare to say anything?"

Li Wanjiang's tone is not good.

Li Hong and Liu Wenzheng looked at each other quietly, and stepped forward at the same time.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

"Oh? Either don't come out, or two when they come out? Tell me." Li Wanjiang squeezed out a smile.

"I think what the Marquis of Pingyang played is very good! Chen Jisheng, as a speech official, has the right to hear the wind and tell the story. Although he offended Tian Yan, it was unintentional. I hope that my emperor will take care of him and send him down." It's a job!" Li Hong said loudly.

"I think what Wang Anbang said is justified. As the saying goes, if a father has admonishing sons, he will not destroy his family, and if a king has admonishing ministers, he will not destroy his country! Chen Jisheng must not be killed, otherwise the hearts of loyal ministers in the world will be chilled." Liu Wenzheng spoke harshly.

These two words were quite fierce, and they could almost be regarded as contradicting the emperor in public.

But there is no risk.

There are several reasons.

First, before expressing their opinions, they carried out both Zhu Xiaochuan and Wang Anbang, so if the emperor wants to punish them, he must first punish these two, is he willing to do so?

They are innocent, and our brothers are naturally innocent too.

Second, Xiao Chen's hint just now is already very obvious, that is to say, the emperor doesn't want to kill Chen Jisheng at all, otherwise he would have killed him long ago!

If you don't kill, then you will be spared, so what the two of us said should speak to the emperor's heart.

Thirdly, even if the emperor gets angry and kills both brothers, it will be regarded as the death of a loyal minister because of remonstrance, and the high and low will be famous in history!

"Hahaha, well said!" Li Wanjiang raised his head and laughed.

"Since you all want to be loyal ministers, do I want to be a foolish emperor? According to my will, Chen Jisheng will be punished twenty sticks, cut off his position, and let him go home and reflect... never Hired, as a warning to you!"

As soon as Li Wanjiang finished speaking, the big guys knelt down together, saying that he had both benevolence and virtue, leniency and strictness, the emperor's kindness was great, and he treated his ministers like sons...

Zhu Xiaochuan, Wang Anbang, Li Hong, and Liu Wenzheng all lost their hearts. It seems that they all won the bet this time.

They looked at Xiao Chen together, but saw that his face was as still as water, his emotions and anger were invisible, and they secretly admired the depth of his city.

But he didn't know that what Xiao Chen thought in his heart was that he had done the Queen a great favor this time, and she would definitely thank him deeply.

It shouldn't be a problem to reward a mouth, but I don't know if there are any other extra rewards?

Thinking of Murong Danqiu's shy and coquettish attitude, meaningful smile, skin that can be blown to pieces, refreshing body fragrance, soft and smooth waist, sweet and delicious lips...

She even became so shamelessly aroused!

Fortunately, it's early spring, it's warm and cold, and I'm wearing a thick brocade robe, otherwise, I might have to expose my big, secret in front of the eyes of everyone, before King Longwei.

"Concubine Liu is like a cloud. If you want to go home to visit your relatives, I have given you permission to leave soon...Xiao Chen?" Li Wanjiang turned to look at Xiao Chen.

"The slave is here!" Xiao Chen was startled, and hurriedly responded.

"Concubine Liu is going to visit her relatives. The journey is long and rough. I am a little worried. I just want you to escort her there. Are you willing?"

It's all bullshit!

Lord, of course I...

"The servant obeys the order!"

But I didn't say that the slave was willing.

"Well, I don't worry about you doing things. This is the responsibility of your West Factory. You are fully responsible for this matter. Liu Wenzheng, you can follow along." Li Wanjiang pointed at Liu Wenzheng casually.

"My lord, thank you for your grace!" Liu Wenzheng was so happy that he knelt down and kowtowed to thank him.

I don't know what he is happy about?

In fact, it is not a big deal for a noble concubine to visit relatives, but because Liu Ruyun has a special status, she is the eldest princess of Burma, so Li Wanjiang is so concerned, and he raised it solemnly in the court.

To put it bluntly, it is just to give face to the king of Myanmar and win his hearts.

But of course it's not that simple.

The reason why he sent Liu Wenzheng, a doctor in the household department, to follow him was to ask him to learn about Myanmar's current fields, population, taxes, financial revenue and expenditure and other important situations.

Since Myanmar belonged to the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has been crying for poverty.

Today it is a flood, tomorrow it is a plague of locusts, an earthquake, a mountain torrent, a plague, and the remnants of some big man harassing...

In a word, it is to ask the court to give relief.

And the lion opened his mouth wide, easily hundreds of thousands, millions of taels of silver!

There have been years of wars, the world has been settled for the first time, the treasury is extremely empty, and there are so many places to spend money, Li Wanjiang is almost devastated.

Where did he get so much money for him?

Moreover, according to his intelligence, those natural disasters never happened in Myanmar, they were all fabricated by nonsense, and the purpose was to ask for money!

Do you think Li Wanjiang is angry?

But I can't get angry yet, so I can only give an order to explain gently and comfort me, I also have difficulties... cry poorly to them.

It is sad enough for the emperor to do this.

"Now my Great Zhou has ruled the world, but there is a lot of waste waiting to be done. There are clowns jumping on the beam inside, and powerful enemies are waiting outside. There are frequent disasters all over the country. There is money everywhere, but the treasury is empty, which makes me stretched. What's the best strategy for you dear ones?"

This is what Li Wanjiang wants to talk about today.

Empty treasury? can't you?

The silver received from the previous dynasty alone is tens of millions of taels.

In addition to the confiscation and confiscation of the homes of the ministers of the previous dynasty, and the looting from all over the place, the total would be 70 to 80 million taels, which should be very rich. The emperor is a bit alarmist, right?

Chen Wenqi, Minister of the Household Department, saw that everyone was looking at him, coughed, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and read it expressionlessly.

"According to the emperor's order, our household department has been counting the various accounts and funds of the treasury since last year, and it has been basically clarified. As of the end of December last year, the total amount of silver left in our treasury was 5,237,600 taels... "

"Old Chen, what are you kidding?"

"Do you understand this number?"

"Five million? I'll ask you where to go for the remaining tens of millions!"

"Have you forgotten the taxes paid last year?"

"You can't talk nonsense about such a big deal!"
