In just seven sentences, he shouted out the heroic spirit of the Darming Dynasty and the bloodlust of the Han Family's men.
All the officials in the court felt their blood boil, and a righteous spirit rose from their chests!
"We agree to fight to the death!"
"I am willing to live and die with Great Ming!"
"There's me but no thief, there's a thief but no me!"
“……”
All the officials roared!
Especially the three thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards, they couldn't wait to go to the battlefield and die for the Crown Prince!
The unification of the monarch and his subjects was the blessing of the Ming Dynasty!
The Crown Prince is really Ming's lucky star!
Seeing that Zhu Cizong's few words had stirred up the bloodlust of all the civil and military officials in the court, Emperor Sizong was greatly comforted.
"Does the Crown Prince have any specific steps?”Emperor Si Zong could not help but ask.
Zhu Ci Xin nodded and said to Emperor Si Zong and the ministers,"
"Imperial Father, the capital's greatest weakness is the lack of soldiers under Special Grade One management, so your son has five measures."
"Which five?" Crown Prince, tell me quickly!"
"All the troops stationed in the capital will be under the Eastern Palace's command. Without my personal order, no one is allowed to mobilize a single soldier.
The servants and followers of the beloved ministers 'families all went to the Ministry of War to report. After they were scattered, they would be unified and commanded.
The five armies immediately recruited soldiers from the good families of the capital.
Shuntian Prefecture immediately arranged for the residents around the capital to enter the city, and all of them were to be organized into groups to defend the city.
The walls around the capital were fortified, and those that could be moved were burned on the spot. They could not leave a single grain for the bandits.”
"Good! Good! This plan was very good! Just do as the Crown Prince says!"
Emperor Si Zong raised his head and laughed loudly. He felt that the haze that had accumulated over the past few days had been swept away!
"We will obey your orders!"
Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince had a clear mind and assigned tasks in an orderly manner, many big shots who were loyal to Great Ming were greatly comforted!
Big Ming has hope!
However, among the officials, there were some old officials who were extremely shrewd and showed a trace of worry.
Although the Crown Prince's method was good, could it be realized in a hurry?
One had to know that the Great Sun Moon Dynasty did not have money.
"Crown Prince, where did the money come from?" Emperor Si Zong also realized this problem.。
Although Zhu Ci Xin's five plans were not bad, the biggest flaw was that they were too expensive.
Especially the last three, they couldn't be solved without a large sum of money.
Hearing Emperor Si Zong's words, the officials were instantly doused with a bucket of cold water.
If he wanted to fulfill all five of these requirements, he would need at least a million taels of silver.
However, the treasury of the Ministry of Revenue was so poor that rats ran away. Where would there be so much silver?
The Imperial Court, which had been bustling with activity just a moment ago, instantly became much quieter.
"Silver? BenGong has! Come, carry it up for bengong!"
Silver?
The Crown Prince has silver?
Or was it a million taels?
All the officials looked at him suspiciously.
Emperor Si Zong, who was sitting on the Dragon Emperor's throne, could not believe it.
The money allocated to the Eastern Palace every year was carefully calculated, and there was no way there would be any surplus.
Moreover, the Crown Prince was the dragon and phoenix among the people, the crown prince of the country. His every move was watched by countless pairs of eyes, and it was impossible for him to be like the ministers who were greedy for silver and run cheap businesses.
Therefore, most people felt that Zhu Ci Xin was only speaking arrogantly for his own face.
"Hey yo!"
"Hey yo!"
"Hey yo!"
“……”
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, countless Embroidered Uniform Guards carried heavy wooden boxes into Taihe Palace.
Some sharp-eyed ministers even saw burn marks on the wooden boxes.
Soon, these large wooden boxes filled the entire hall.
"Come on, open them." Zhu Ci Xin ordered the four commanders of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
"Your humble servant accepts the order!"
The four commanders immediately ordered their subordinates to open all the wooden boxes.
Squeak!
Squeak!
Squeak...
As the wooden boxes were opened one by one, the flickering silver light instantly lit up Taihe Palace!
"Silver! Silver! It's actually all silver!"
"Heavens! So many wooden crates, how much silver was there?”
"This…this…this is at least a million taels!”
"Where did His Highness the Crown Prince get so much silver?”
“……”
Everyone in the hall was shocked!
Although some of these ministers were worth millions, that was only after taking into account their shops, fields, and estates in the capital.
In terms of cash, no one had ever seen so much!
Emperor Si Zong's eyes widened!
Ever since he ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty had been plagued by natural and man-made disasters almost every year.
Many of the taxes were only paid by the Ministry of Revenue before being distributed to the local governments for disaster relief.
Moreover, a large portion of the so-called taxes were converted in kind.
The Ministry of Revenue had never had more than 100,000 taels of silver.
Seeing so much silver, even the emperor who owned the four seas felt his breathing quicken. He couldn't control himself!
