Censor Cao Rong also said,"
"Isn't that so? This 800,000 taels of silver isn't even a drop in the ocean to the country's ruler. To us, even eight thousand taels is not enough!”
"Sigh, everyone should go back and sell everything. I'll sell my shabby house and rent a cold kiln in the south of the city. After all, the country magistrate has already given us 800,000 taels of silver. We can't afford 80,000 taels of silver, so we still have to donate these few thousand taels of silver.”
"I have elders and children here. The servants at home still have to eat and drink. How much can I donate with my salary? If they donated too little, they would be scolded. If they donated too much, they would have to drink the northwest wind.”
"Let's go, let's go home and raise money. It's over. I can't live like this."
These officials were extremely sarcastic towards Zhou Kui, but Zhou Kui was unable to say anything.
A few of them had dirty dealings with Zhou Kui. They had joined forces to buy and sell officials, annex land, and accept bribes.
Zhou Kui had offended everyone this time. How could they earn money together in the future?
Tears fell from Zhou Kui's eyes again.
Who could he blame? Eight hundred thousand taels? Two hundred thousand taels fell into the shadows. In any case, the eight hundred thousand taels of silver had made a splash in front of the Emperor, while the two hundred thousand taels of silver had sunk to the bottom.
The Jinyiwei were really evil!
If he wasn't a traitor, how could he be called a Jinyiwei? After receiving 200,000 taels of silver, Zhu Ciyan, who was promoted to deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, was ready to start his plan.
At the end of Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei had less power than the East Chamber and became its vassal. During the reign of Wei Zhongxian, his power was overwhelming inside and outside the court. In the early years of Emperor Xizong, Liu Qiao was the commander of the Jinyiwei's Zhenfu Division. Because he was upright and "refused to flatter or kill", Wei Zhongxian took advantage of the situation to remove him from office.
After that, Tian Ergeng joined Wei Zhongxian and was willing to be his adopted son. He was "insidious and cunning", and because of his "meritorious arrest", he was promoted to the commander of the Royal Guards.
When Chongzhen ascended the throne, Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party was immediately eradicated. Emperor Chongzhen brought order out of chaos, but social contradictions were not eliminated for a while. Dong Kun was in charge of the Jinyiwei during this period. This person was eager for quick success and was soon dismissed.
Later, Wu Mengming was in charge of the Jinyiwei. Although this person was fair, he was indecisive. At the end of Chongzhen, Luo Yangxing was in charge of the Jinyiwei.
Luo Yangxing had now made up his mind that the Embroidered Uniform Guards must give the limelight to the Crown Prince.
As long as he could curry favor with the Crown Prince, when the Crown Prince inherited the throne in the future, he would be a great contributor to the Dragon.
In the North Town Fu Department, Zhu Ci was swift and decisive. He first gathered all the officials of the Jinyiwei and above, lecturing them.
"Brothers, this prince knows that you have not had a good time these past few years. First, he was bullied by the Donglin Party, then he was pressed to the ground by the eunuchs. The Brocade Guard is really cowardly enough to do what you did.”
Don't hit people in the face, and don't expose people when scolding people. However, Zhu Ci Xin wanted to expose their shortcomings.
After being scolded by the Crown Prince, everyone lowered their heads in shame.
That's right, the Jinyiwei were so glorious back then. The glory of the Jinyiwei was no longer there. They had become the vassals of the eunuchs.
Zhu Ci continued,
"From today onwards, you don't have to lower your heads anymore! This prince is your backer, so all of you better keep your spirits up!”
"As long as this prince is alive, only our Embroidered Uniform Guards can bully others! If anyone dares to touch my Embroidered Uniform Guards, this prince won't let him off!”
Excitement, tears, blood boiling!
Is this true? Does our Jinyiwei really not have to bow down to others anymore?
With the decline of the Jinyiwei, they had been living like little wives these years. They were cautious in everything and had long lost their prestige.
Now that the Crown Prince is here, and the Crown Prince is in charge of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, our good days finally have hope.
The hundreds and thousands of families in the North Town Administrative Office were all excited. However, after the surge, they realized that they still had to live their lives. Their family was still unable to make a living.
Zhu Ci Xin seemed to be a roundworm in everyone's stomach. He only smiled slightly.
"Bring it up!"
Carry him up? Carry what up?
While everyone was hesitating, a few Embroidered Uniform Guards walked in with a large box. It looked like the box was very heavy.
Everyone was somewhat baffled, not knowing what the crown prince was up to.
You've just taken over as a new official, why did you bring this box here for no reason?
Could it be that this box is your plaything?
After all, the Crown Prince was only twelve years old.
The box was placed on the ground with a bang. The strongmen who were carrying the box were so tired that they were sweating profusely. Zhu Ci Xin waved his hand, and the strongmen bowed and retreated.
The box was sealed and there was a lock hanging on it.
The lock was facing the person below. Zhu Cixin reached out his hand, and Luo Yangxing, who was beside him, took out a hammer and handed it over.
There was a key, but Zhu CiXin did not use it.
Luo Yangxing had also prepared a hammer from somewhere. It was obvious that he had prepared it beforehand.
This crown prince was going to use violence to unlock the lock. He was like a mountain bandit who had just scooped up a big bowl of wine and meat.
