"Your Majesty, this concubine has also accumulated five thousand taels of silver over the years. There are also some jewelry. Although it can't help Your Majesty much, it can be considered as this concubine's sincerity.”
Empress Zhou took a box that had been prepared long ago and placed it in front of Chongzhen.
"The Empress is very thoughtful. These are all your dowry, right?”
"If the husband of an ordinary family were to use his wife's dowry, he would be laughed at. I am the ruler of a country, how can I use your dowry?”
Chong Zhen was secretly moved. He could not help but hold Empress Zhou's soft hand and sighed,"" Besides, the imperial court is short of silver, at least 400,000 taels…"
Chongzhen recounted what had happened in the imperial court today, including how much money was in the national treasury and where it was used.
After Empress Zhou heard half of it, her expression changed slightly and she said,""Your Majesty, the great ancestor left behind the ancestral teachings, the harem…"
"Empress, it doesn't matter. Zhen is just worried and is just telling you.”
Chong Zhen immediately raised his hand to interrupt Empress Zhou.
If the Empress didn't listen, how could he say it? If he didn't say it, how could Zhu Ci Xin hear about the matters of the previous dynasty?
Zhu Ci couldn't hear it, so how could he have any ideas!
He still wanted to know what Zhu Ci Xin was thinking about this time.
Empress Zhou could not say much and could only smile bitterly, allowing Chong Zhen to tell her the whole story.
However, she was also listening very seriously.
"Sigh, it's difficult, it's difficult. The pay for the extermination is at least 400,000!”
Chong Zhen sighed with a worried expression.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be so worried. There are ways to resolve these matters.”Empress Zhou comforted her gently.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Chong Zhen's mind.
Wasn't 400,000 a small matter?
Zhou Yanru was repairing the city wall. He had found some silver to make up for it, and the rest of the silver could be taken out from the pension!
However, Chongzhen and Zhou Yanru probably wouldn't have thought of this!
Zhu Ci Xin's thoughts caused Chong Zhen's body to tremble and he immediately became interested.
The silver needed to compensate the fallen soldiers was about 600,000 taels. How else could he pay for this money?
Unfortunately, Zhu Ci Xin didn't think too much about it and just ate silently.
Chongzhen was a little angry!
This unfilial child, why did he give up halfway through his thoughts!
What should he do?
Chongzhen was a little anxious.
However, seeing that Zhu Ci Xin had no intention of thinking further, Chong Zhen could not help but ask,"Pin 'er, do you have any good ideas?”
F * ck, Chongzhen, aren't you too perverted?
I'm only one year old, and you won't let me off!
What should he do?
What else could he do? Since he couldn't take out so much compensation money at once, he would pay in installments!
For example, tell the world how sad and heartbroken you are for these soldiers who died in battle. You have to increase the compensation for them.
For example, ordinary soldiers should be given sixty taels of silver as compensation for their deaths. You can increase it to eighty taels, but the prerequisite is that the payment will be made in four years!
In other words, this time, nearly 10,000 soldiers have died. You originally had to take out 600,000 taels. Now, in the first year, you only have to take out 200,000 taels!
He would just make up 400,000 taels here. As for the rest, he would wait until the autumn harvest and the imperial court's treasury was filled up before slowly distributing it. He would think of a way to make up for the excess!
Zhu Ci Xin thought to himself, but he said,""Imperial Father, your son is stupid. I don't dare to interfere in military affairs!”
Chong Zhen's eyes lit up!
Wonderful, wonderful!
Paying in installments was really a good idea!
In this way, he could appease the soldiers and boost their morale. He could also let the soldiers of Great Ming see how much the Emperor cherished them!
Finally, it could also solve the urgent need of the current empty national treasury!
This was simply a good way to kill four birds with one stone!
Compared to Zhou Yanru's method, it was much better!
My son Ci Xi really has the potential to become a Great Emperor!
Chong Zhen was shocked.
Zhu Ci Xi saw that Chong Zhen was looking at him, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. He couldn't stop complaining.
Is there something wrong with this Chongzhen? Why does it make my hair stand on end!
Err…
Chong Zhen was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said,"Pin 'er, it's okay if you don't know. Zhen will teach you in the future!”
Do I still need you to teach me?
I won't tell you even if I know. I'm just asking if you're angry!
Zhu Ci Mo rolled his eyes, but he said,"Your son will definitely study hard in the future.”
Chongzhen heard Zhu Cixi's thoughts clearly.
"Pin 'er, ah Pin' er, you didn't expect zhen to be able to eavesdrop on your thoughts, right?”
"Son, you are on the third level, but your father is on the ninety-ninth level!”
Chong Zhen was secretly pleased. He had a tight grip on this piece!
With the funds for the Shaanxi suppression settled, Chongzhen was in a good mood. After accompanying Zhu Ciyao and Empress Zhou for dinner, he stayed in Kunning Palace.
……
……
The next day.
Morning court.
Chong Zhen walked up the steps of the palace happily and sat down on the dragon throne.
"His Majesty has decreed that if there is anything, report it. If there is nothing, withdraw from the court!”
Wang Chengen's voice was like a drake's as it echoed in the court.
As soon as he finished speaking, an imperial censor stepped forward and said loudly,"Your Majesty, this subject has something to report. Regarding Yuan Chonghuan's case, this subject impeaches Yuan Chonghuan for four major crimes!”
"First, Yuan Chonghuan had an affair with Houjin and used the rice market to finance the enemy.”
"Second, Yuan Chonghuan has a strong army and is in charge of Ji and Liao. The war is unfavorable and he intends to rebel!”
"Third, Yuan Chonghuan killed Island Marshal Mao Wenlong and looked down on the Imperial Court and His Majesty.”
"Fourth, Yuan Chonghuan privately negotiated peace with the Houjin, and his intention to rebel is obvious!”
"Your Majesty, please punish him severely!"
When Chong Zhen heard this, his good mood was instantly disturbed.
Why were these guys so fixated on Yuan Chonghuan?
Didn't he already say yesterday that the three divisions would conduct a joint hearing and investigate again!
And you're still holding on to this matter!
However, before Chong Zhen could speak, the officials in the court stepped out one by one.
"Your Majesty, I agree!"
"I agree!"
“……”
In less than ten breaths, more than half of the officials in the court had stepped out.
This made Chong Zhen feel a hint of danger. There was something wrong with these officials today!
Was it discussed beforehand?
However, in the end, Zhou Yanru also stepped forward and said,""Your Majesty, Yuan Chonghuan, this thief, has already angered the court and the people. We have to kill him. I implore Your Majesty to plan for the Ming Dynasty and seek justice for the soldiers who died on the battlefield. I implore Your Majesty to punish Yuan Chonghuan severely!”
"Your Majesty, if Yuan Chonghuan is not killed for treason, then the Imperial Court will still have prestige and law!”
"Your Majesty, please make a ruling!"
Wen Tiren also stepped forward.
All the civil and military officials in the court, as well as the two cabinet ministers, were undoubtedly very influential.
Cheng Jiming also realized that there might be a plan for today's action. He was about to step forward to advise, but before he could speak, Chongzhen was furious!
"Enough!"
"I already said yesterday that I would wait for the results of the joint trial of the three divisions. It has only been a day. Could it be that the three divisions have already found all the evidence?”
"And you guys, what do you want with so many people?”
"Do you want to force me to abdicate?"
Chong Zhen roared angrily, his eyes red.
