The people in the Palace of Heavenly Purity were so scared that they knelt on the ground. Even the eunuch Wang Chengen beside Emperor Chongzhen was trembling in fear.
"Lord Wansui, the dragon body is more important. Calm down, calm down. His Highness the Crown Prince is still young. He..."
Poor Wang Chengen. He wanted to find a better reason to shirk responsibility for Zhu Ci.
In the end, after thinking for a long time, he could not think of a decent reason.
What Zhu Ci Xin did this time was not called causing trouble, but a disaster that threatened to shake the foundation of the country.
Why did he say that? The 670,000 taels of silver left in the North Town Administrative Office had been secretly taken away by this fellow.
Moreover, in the name of the Imperial Court.
This matter was actually hidden from Chongzhen!
It was not until Zhu Ciyao and his group left the north gate that Luo Yangxing knelt in the Palace of Heavenly Purity and told Chongzhen, trembling,"
"This subject is sentenced to death. This subject has just returned to the North Town Administrative Office and found out that Your Highness had transported the stolen silver out.”
Chong Zhen was furious and pointed at Luo Yangxing."Why didn't you stay at the North Town Administrative Office? Where did you go?”
Luo Yangxing trembled in fear." Reporting to Lord Wansui, it's…it's His Highness the Crown Prince who asked me to go to the General Administration Department to print a few copies of the court bulletin. He said that it's to be distributed to the various departments in the capital." I didn't suspect anything, so I went to print some.”
Luo Yangxing's voice became softer and softer. Chongzhen understood that his son was sending Luo Yangxing away first.
He secretly brought people to steal the silver from the Northern Town Administrative Office. One had to know that this was more than 600,000 taels of silver.
Chongzhen wanted to use this money to pay the salaries of the various officials of the imperial court, as well as to relieve the disasters in Shanxi and Shandong.
He did not expect that this unfilial son who was full of pompous words would secretly intercept it.
It seemed that Zhu Ci Xin had wanted to give Liaodong 800,000 taels of military pay from the beginning to the end. He knew that he did not agree, so he acted first and reported later.
Chongzhen was furious, but he also knew that Luo Yangxing was not to blame for this.
It was Zhu Ci Xin who had sent him away long ago, so he waved his hand tiredly.
"Hmph, this unfilial son wants to take this money to Liaodong. Does he think that I can't chase him back after he leaves the city gate? Luo Yangxing, where's the court bulletin you printed? Let me have a look.”
Chongzhen didn't know the contents of the court bulletin. He felt that everything would be fine even if Zhu Cishi took away more than 600,000 taels of silver.
At most, he would issue another imperial edict to intercept this batch of silver on the way and transport it back to the capital.
Anyway, you guys just left Beijing and didn't go far.
But this time, Luo Yangxing was clearly even more frightened. He took out a court bulletin from his pocket in trepidation.
His entire body was trembling. He raised the court bulletin above his head with both hands and knelt on the ground, his entire body trembling.
Wang Chengen went over to take the court bulletin and then took small steps forward to present it to Chongzhen.
Chong Zhen found it strange that Luo Yangxing was so frightened.
However, when he saw the contents of the court bulletin, Chongzhen did not kick the stool this time. He directly flipped the imperial table.
"Bastard! This bastard! Who did he learn this from? Who did he learn to be disobedient from? This unfilial son! Oh my god, how could I have such an unfilial son? My ancestors, I've let down my ancestors!”
This time, Chong Zhen simply burst into tears.
Unfilial son, Zhu Ci!
He had long expected that Chongzhen would intercept the money on the way, so he printed it clearly on the court bulletin.
Because most of the ancient texts were obscure and difficult to understand, the original text was not included.
In any case, the general meaning was that the Liaodong soldiers had rendered meritorious service in guarding the border, and the imperial court would not let the soldiers risk their lives without money to live. Even if the Imperial Court were to tighten their belts and refuse to eat or drink, they would still have to fork out the military pay for you.
The imperial court wanted to allocate 800,000 taels of silver to comfort the soldiers at the front line. I hope you will fight bravely to kill the enemy and protect your country.
Chongzhen almost fainted on the spot after reading it. Since when did Emperor Chongzhen issue such an imperial edict?
What should they do now? All the departments in Beijing were already filled with this kind of bulletin.
Almost all the officials had seen it. The 800,000 taels of silver was what Chongzhen meant.
Can you still send people to get the money back now?
If you, Emperor Chongzhen, were to change your mind, wouldn't you become a laughing stock in the capital?
The court bulletin has already been sent out, so you can only eat the coptis root in silence and swallow your teeth and blood.
It was no wonder that Emperor Chongzhen was so furious that even Wang Chengen, who was next to him, was so scared that his face turned pale.
Is the Crown Prince crazy?
Zhu Ciyao wasn't crazy, but Chongzhen was!
Wang Chengen hurriedly picked up the stool again. Chongzhen sat there and panted heavily,"
"Unfilial son, this unfilial son, zhen, zhen wants…"
"Your Majesty!"
Empress Zhou had arrived.
Chongzhen was furious in Qianqing Palace, and this matter immediately caused a big earthquake in the palace.
A palace servant received the news and secretly went to the Qian Ning Palace to inform Empress Zhou.
Seeing that Empress Zhou had arrived, Chongzhen finally found an object to vent his anger on.
People were always like this. They always liked to leave the deepest harm to the people closest to them. Even Emperor Chongzhen was not immune to this.
"Empress, zhen is going crazy…"
Probably because he was too angry, Chongzhen lost his balance and actually fell down with the stool.
Empress Zhou only heard from the palace people that Lord Wansui was furious in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, and it seemed to be related to the Crown Prince.
At that moment, Empress Zhou could not care less about the needlework in her hands and rushed over in a hurry.
Why did he hear Chongzhen say that he was crazy?
Empress Zhou was somewhat baffled. What was going on?
