Ye Xin pondered over Sun Chuanting's words and secretly thought that Sun Chuanting had been in the imperial court for so many years and was very clear about the matters in the imperial court. There should be no problem with his suggestion.
Ye Xin had already expected that the officials in the court would not obediently hand over the money. These people had accumulated a lot of trouble, and killing a cabinet chief could not scare them off.
Ye Xin still had his own ways to deal with these officials, so Sun Chuanting did not need to worry about this.
Sun Chuanting had told Ye Xin to set up defenses in the capital and build a powerful army, and Ye Xin had already considered this. One had to know that Ye Xin was currently reorganizing the Imperial Court, and it was impossible for him not to have an army.
However, Ye Xin was a little surprised by what Sun Chuanting said about Yuan Chonghuan. Ye Xin was not too familiar with Yuan Chonghuan and did not know what kind of person this fellow was, so he could not judge him for the time being.
"Chaoen, Huachun, let's go back and take a look!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
At this moment, the situation in Beijing was really lively. All the officials in the court began to raise money in the city, preparing to deal with Ye Xin's one million silver debt.
Of course, Ye Xin knew that these officials were all extremely wealthy, and taking out a million taels of silver was definitely not a problem. The reason why these officials were raising money in the city was just to put on a show, to build an incorruptible memorial archway.
In order to show that they really did not have money, many officials in the court even began to take out the things at home and sell them to raise money to deal with Ye Xin's debt collection.
Some ministers began to sell calligraphy on the street at the entrance. Each piece of calligraphy was only five taels of silver, and they planned to use it to raise a million taels of silver…
Some ministers began to sell all the antique vases at home to raise money.
Some ministers even began to paste the words " luxury house for rent " on their houses, wanting to sell them directly to raise money...
Damn it, these ministers were really enough…
Wang Chaoen looked at these pretentious ministers and could not help but shake his head.
"Emperor, look, these ministers are all crying about poverty. This shows that they are actually still unwilling to take the money!”
"That's right, emperor, I think we can only suppress them for a while by killing Wei Zaode, but not forever!”
Hearing Wang Chaoen and Cao Huachun's worries, then looking at those pretentious officials who were crying and snot sloppily, Ye Xin's lips curled into a cold smile.
After Ye Xin finished speaking, he did not want to see the ugly state of the officials in the court again, so he waved his sleeve and strode away.
For some reason, when Wang Chaoen and Cao Huachun saw Ye Xin's domineering aura, they suddenly felt very calm. Perhaps in their subconsciousness, they had already determined that their master would definitely have a way to deal with these ministers, so they did not have to worry.
"Li Quan, pay thirty thousand taels of silver!”
……
On the second day of court, all the officials started to offer silver to Ye Xin. It seemed that Ye Xin had killed Wei Zaode yesterday to provoke them, and it was somewhat useful.
However, Ye Xin had told them yesterday that each person's share was one million taels, but at this moment, the officials in the court were only taking out tens of thousands of taels of silver to make up the numbers, which was still far from Ye Xin's request.
However, in the eyes of the officials in the court, they had already taken out a lot of money. Although each person took out a small amount, it would add up to a few million taels of silver. The Emperor should be satisfied now…
At this moment, Ye Xin was resting on the dragon throne with his eyes closed, as if he had already fallen asleep. He did not hear the figures of the officials, nor did he pay attention to the lords in front of him.
After he finished reading the name list, Cao Huachun walked up to Ye Xin and said softly,"Emperor, the list has been read out! We received a total of five million taels of silver!"
He and Wang Chaoen knew that as long as the imperial court had one million taels of silver, they could resolve the urgent situation. Furthermore, he had received five million taels of silver.
At this moment, Cao Huachun and Wang Chaoen were so excited that they did not know what to do.
When the officials below saw Ye Xin open his eyes, they could not help but tremble in fear. However, at this moment, the ministers were also hoping to get lucky. They felt that they had already gathered five million taels of silver this time. Logically speaking, the Emperor should be satisfied.
However, what these officials did not expect was that the Emperor sitting above was not Emperor Chongzhen, but Ye Xin. Ye Xin was not a ruler of a fallen country, but a rare ruler of a revived country.
"It's really rare for the ministers to be able to take out so much money! Hehe, but I remember that last time, I said that each of you would have a million taels of silver. Why are you only taking out tens of thousands of taels of silver to brush me off?”
"Ah?"
All the officials in the court were shocked when they heard Ye Xin's words. They secretly thought that even with so much money, the Emperor was still not satisfied.
The smell of Wei Zaode's head's blood hadn't disappeared from the hall. The ministers recalled the terrifying scene from yesterday, and they all trembled in fear.
