Chapter 207 Grabbing Money! 【order】
Du Guang just glanced at Tang Qing lightly and said: "If your Excellency didn't hear clearly, then you should listen carefully. Without the imperial decree of your majesty, or the warrant of my commander, the gold and silver on this ship, no one should think about it." move."
Tang Qing immediately glared at Du Guang and said, "Du Qianhu, you are so courageous. I speak to you on behalf of the Ministry of Households. I represent the imperial court. Do you still have the imperial court in your eyes?"
Seeing Tang Qing's threatening appearance, Du Guang couldn't help laughing, his face turned cold, and he stopped pretending, and sneered, "You really have a big tone, the court? You still can't represent the court."
Speaking of which, Du Guang sneered and said, "Go away, if you dare to take advantage of this batch of money without His Majesty's will, then don't blame me for treating you as thieves and beheading you on the spot."
Bao Qing and the others on the bank looked at the big boats on the river with anticipation on their faces.
These big ships are loaded with gold and silver, which is a huge amount of millions of taels, and soon these gold and silver will enter the national treasury through their hands.
So what about Li Huan, how to deal with the money is not up to them in the end.
At this time, there was a sudden movement on the big ship not far away, and it seemed that a rolling word was vaguely heard.
The few people who were talking in low voices suddenly froze for a moment, and looked up at Du Guang and Tang Qing on the deck with puzzled expressions on their faces.
Bao Qing couldn't help frowning and said: "What's going on with Tang Qing? It's just a handover with Du Guang. Why haven't we done it after such a long time?"
At this time, an official next to him stroked his beard, frowned slightly and said, "Master Bao, I'm afraid things might be a little troublesome."
While speaking, Tang Qing opened his mouth on the deck and was about to say something. Suddenly, Du Guang took a step forward, and a strong evil spirit rushed towards Tang Qing. The killing intent only scared Tang Qing back a step.
The pale-faced Tang Qing was ashamed and angry, staring at Du Guang and Du Guang's big hand on the handle of the knife, flicking his sleeves violently, and shouting at Du Guang angrily: "Bold Du Guang! , you wait, you wait..."
Obviously Tang Qing was stunned. It was the murderous intent on Du Guang that made him feel Du Guang's determination. If he continued to entangle, the other party would really dare to slash at him.
Tang Qing, who stepped down from the deck, had a faint look of hatred in his eyes, and strode towards Bao Qing and the others.
And at this moment, everyone's eyes were also on Tang Qing, obviously curious about what Tang Qing said to Du Guang and why Tang Qing looked a little wrong.
Bao Qing frowned and looked at Tang Qing who was approaching, and said, "Tang Qing, what's going on, why haven't you completed the handover with Du Guang?"
Tang Qing's face was full of grievances, and he said tremblingly at Bao Qing: "My lord, my lord, you have to make decisions for this lower official, that Jin Yiwei Qianhu Du Guang is really rude, this lower official is very polite Handed over to him, but he refused to hand over the money on the ship to our household department, and said... and said..."
Hearing Tang Qing say that Du Guang refused to complete the handover with the household department, Bao Qing's expression became very ugly, and he said angrily, "What else did he say?"
Tang Qing gritted his teeth and said, "He also said that unless we can come up with His Majesty's imperial decree or Li Huan's warrant, otherwise, if we dare to play with these money, he will treat us as thieves..."
Before Tang Qing could finish speaking, Bao Qing exploded and shouted angrily, "So bold, he is so bold. We represent the Ministry of Household Affairs and the imperial court. He dared to refuse to hand over to us."
Saying that, Bao Qing strode directly towards the horizontal board not far away, and walked directly towards Du Guang along the horizontal board across the shore and the big ship.
Du Guang was not at all surprised by Bao Qing's arrival, Tang Qing was just a small Yuanwailang, nothing in the court at all.
The people who came this time were obviously different. Although Du Guang did not dare to say that he knew all the officials, he did know the clothes of the officials.
The chief banner officer standing beside Du Guang couldn't help but whisper to Du Guang: "My lord..."
Du Guang naturally knew his subordinates' worries, shook his head slightly and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, it's fine."
While speaking, Bao Qing stepped onto the big boat and shouted at Du Guang: "Bold Du Guang, do you know who we are?"
Du Guang said lightly: "I don't know."
Du Guang's words almost made Bao Qing die of anger, he didn't believe that Du Guang didn't know his identity, even if he had never met him, he must know the official uniform he was wearing.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Du Baoqing shouted at Du Guang: "Okay, okay, since you don't know me, I will tell you that I am Bao Qing, the left servant of the household department, and I was ordered to come to receive your escort money back."
Du Guang glanced at Bao Qing lightly, stretched out his hand and said, "If there is any difference between His Majesty's imperial decree or the warrant of my Commander, I will immediately complete the handover with Mr. Minister, otherwise, it will be difficult to obey."
Bao Qing stared at Du Guang with wide eyes and said, "You...do you know what you are talking about?"
Du Guang just looked at Bao Qing indifferently.
Bao Qing shouted suddenly: "Come here, prepare to transfer money."
Apparently Bao Qing was planning to forcibly take over Yinchuan.
Tang Qing, who was on the shore, listened to Bao Qing's instructions, and immediately showed joy in his eyes, and said to several officials in the household department and a group of expedition officers: "Have you heard that, come with me on board, and prepare to transfer money silver."
The eyes of those officials from the household department lit up immediately, and they stepped on the wooden board happily one by one.
For them, it was a good job to transfer the money into the warehouse.
It can be said that every time local taxes are put into the treasury, they are able to eat and eat, and it is obviously the same this time.
Even in order to fight for this opportunity, they made a lot of connections, which is considered to have won this good job.
Several officials boarded the big ship at an extremely fast speed, and behind them were conscripted servants.
On the big boat, Du Guang listened to Bao Qing's order, raised his eyebrows, and said with a sharp murderous intent in his eyes: "Bao Shilang, do you know what you are doing?"
Bao Qing sneered and said, "I also want to ask you, Du Qianhu, do you know what you are doing?"
He is a dignified third-rank official, if he can't hold down even a mere Jinyiwei Qianhu, then why would he have the face to meet all his colleagues.
You must know how many people in Chaozhong Xu knew that he came to receive the money today, and there were even many officials on the shore watching, if he was stopped by Du Guang just like that, wouldn't he be shameless?
Tang Qing and several officials from the household department boarded the boat, saluted Bao Qing and said, "My lord, our people are here!"
Bao Qing nodded and said, "Get ready!"
Tang Qing waved his hand excitedly and said, "Get ready to count the money."
Several officials from the household department stepped forward excitedly when they heard the words, and their eyes naturally turned to the big ship. The big boxes that were sealed with seals were all white and golden gold and silver.
Just when these officials were about to walk towards those boxes, they only heard a loud shout and said: "Who dares, if you don't have His Majesty's order, and my lord's warrant, don't even think about taking these money. Take a step forward, I have the right to kill you and others on the spot."
Du Guang stared at these officials with a murderous look on his face.
Tang Qing and the others were taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Bao Qing.
After hearing Du Guang's words, Bao Qing smiled anxiously and said to Tang Qing and others: "What are you doing in a daze, didn't you hear what I said, and don't do anything."
Tang Qing took a breath, glanced at Du Guang and said, "My lord has an order to take over the silver boat..."
Several officials stepped forward again, but at this moment, there was a choking sound, and the Xiuchun knife came out of its sheath, followed by a flash of light.
Tang Qing's eyes widened, and a hot stream sprayed his face in an instant. Right in front of him, the official who had just taken a step was beheaded by Du Guang with a knife.
The blood spurted, and the bloody scene directly stunned everyone.
The guard who had followed onto the boat was so frightened that his expression changed drastically. He turned his head and ran towards the shore as if he had seen a ghost. At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Killed, Jin Yiwei killed!"
With a plop, Tang Qing fell to the ground in fright, his face pale, and he looked in disbelief at Du Guang, who was standing in front of them brandishing a knife, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Even Bao Qing was so frightened by this scene that he stepped back a few steps, looked at Du Guang in horror, and then looked at the body of the household official who fell on the ground.
"You... how dare you!"
Bao Qing stared angrily at Du Guang who was standing with a knife.
Du Guang's saber was really unexpected, even Bao Qing never thought that Du Guang would do it as soon as he said it.
After all, in Bao Qing's view, apart from Li Huan, the people in Jinyiwei are still easy to deal with. Just like in the past, his dignified servant, even Shi Wenyi, the commander of Jinyiwei back then, was very polite when he met him. Not to mention just a mere thousand households.
But now Du Guang cut off the head of their household official in front of him, how could this not shock Bao Qing.
A murderous intent flashed in Du Guang's eyes, he took a step forward, and shouted in a deep voice, "Get lost!"
Following Du Guang's move, these Jinyiwei stepped forward one by one, directly pulled out the Xiuchun knife from their waists, and glared at Bao Qing, Tang Qing and others, looking at their posture, if they dare to step forward One step away, the Xiuchun Knife in their hands will definitely cut down on them.
"Madman, what a bunch of lunatics, just wait, I will never spare you..."
Bao Qing was frightened and angry, especially when Du Guang's murderous eyes fell on him, Bao Qing was scared out of his wits, and he took a few steps back again, then turned around and left with cruel words.
He didn't dare to stay on this boat for a moment. If Du Guang went crazy and hacked him to death on the boat, wouldn't he die too unjustly?
Even Bao Qing was frightened away, Tang Qing and others could imagine that they scrambled and followed Bao Qing to get off the boat.
Although there was a distance, the people on the shore could clearly see what was happening on the deck.
Especially when Du Guang returned to the scene where he directly chopped off the head of an official of the household department, everyone was dumbfounded.
For some reason, looking at Du Guang's figure, they seemed to see Li Huan.
Thinking of Li Huan, these officials shuddered subconsciously. They could only say that they were the subordinates of that lunatic Li Huan?
Since the Jinyiwei under Li Huan's control, these Jinyiwei have become more and more rampant, killing people at every turn.
Many officials looked at each other with a look of fear in their eyes.
Bao Qing and the others retreated from the boat, thinking that he was a dignified third-rank official who was actually threatened by a Jinyiwei Qianhu, Bao Qing was filled with anger.
At this moment, a censor stepped forward and said to Bao Qing: "Bao Shilang, these Jin Yiwei are too rampant. If you want me to say it, it's best to send troops here and take these people..."
Some officials couldn't help but glanced at the censor after hearing the words, "Deploy troops?"This one really dares to say, ever since Feng Hai led the Jingying Xiaoyongying into the capital and caused a rebellion, the emperor was extremely sensitive to the mobilization of soldiers and horses.
If this was the case in the past, maybe they could really easily mobilize some soldiers and horses, but are they really not afraid of irritating the emperor in the palace by mobilizing troops at this time?
Bao Qing obviously knew that what the censor said was a bad idea.
Taking a deep breath, Bao Qing glanced viciously at Du Guang and the Jinyiwei who were standing on the deck, and said coldly: "I can't help that Li Huan, does it mean that he can't deal with a mere Jinyiwei Qianhu?" ?"
As he spoke, Bao Qing waved his sleeves violently and said: "I am going to see the old man to impeach Du Guang. I implore Your Majesty to issue an order to bring Du Guang down."
"That's right, we can't do anything to Li Huan, and we can't do anything to a thousand households of Jinyiwei?"
"Jin Yiwei is too arrogant to kill people at every turn. We must not condone them."
"A letter of impeachment must be written to impeach."
All of a sudden, many officials who saw the scene where Du Guang swung a knife and chopped off the head of an official of the household department felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in their hearts, and clamored for the impeachment of Du Guang.
A lot of people gathered in this wharf, not only Bao Qing and other officials from the household department, but also many people who depended on this wharf for their livelihood.
The previous scene was obviously seen by many people, so the news spread quickly.
Of course, among the many people on the pier, there is Ma Yongcheng, the governor of the East Factory who just got off the boat not long ago.
Ma Yongcheng escorted the fleet to the pier, and the whole person breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Ma Yongcheng did not leave after landing, but chose a place to watch from a distance.
Bao Qing, the servant of the household department, brought a group of people to prepare to hand over to Du Guang and receive the money. Naturally, Ma Yongcheng got the news early on.
Earlier, Ma Yongcheng had specially reminded Du Guang.
At that time, Du Guang replied that he had his own way to deal with it, but Ma Yongcheng didn't really believe it at that time.
He couldn't think of any way, how could Du Guang, a family of Jinyiwei, face the pressure of Bao Qing, or the pressure of the officials.
So Ma Yongcheng has been paying attention to the movement on the silver boat since he landed.
When Tang Qing was kicked off the boat, Ma Yongcheng's originally indifferent expression showed a bit of solemnity.
Others might not be able to hear the conversation between Du Guang and Tang Qing, but that doesn't prevent Ma Yongcheng from hearing it. Even if Ma Yongcheng couldn't hear it, the far superior boss next to him could hear it clearly and relayed it to Ma Yongcheng. .
Ma Yongcheng was amazed, obviously he didn't expect Du Guang to respond like that.
It's just that Ma Yongcheng still broke into a cold sweat for Du Guang, especially when Bao Qing boarded the ship and forced the people from the household department to board the ship to take over the silver ship by force, Ma Yongcheng thought that Du Guang must have no choice.
But when Du Guang cut off the head of an official of the household department with that knife, Ma Yongcheng was stunned.
It can be imagined that even Ma Yongcheng, the governor of the East Factory, did not expect Du Guang to have such a decisive side, let alone other people.
It took a while for Ma Yongcheng to react. Seeing Bao Qing and others hurried away in a panic, Ma Yongcheng knew without thinking what these people were going to do.
Taking a deep breath, Ma Yongcheng immediately yelled at the Dongchang fans beside him: "You guys keep an eye on me here, our family will go to the palace to see His Majesty, if there is any news, be sure to send it to the palace as soon as possible .”
In the imperial city
On this day, Zhu Houzhao was in the imperial study room. Although he was reading some memorials, he seemed a little absent-minded, giving people a feeling of restlessness and being out of place.
Thinking about it, yes, if nothing unexpected happens, millions of taels of gold and silver will arrive in the capital today. The key point is that there is no conclusion on whether the sum of gold and silver will be charged into the national treasury or the internal treasury.
Zhu Houzhao has received the news that the people from the household department have taken people to wait on the pier, ready to receive the money.
In fact, Zhu Houzhao didn't have much hope in his heart. After all, Zhu Houzhao didn't think that a thousand households of Jinyiwei could withstand the pressure from the court.
Even though he guessed that the money might eventually enter the treasury, Zhu Houzhao still felt a little uneasy. What if, what if some miracle happened? Didn't Li Huan make any arrangements for such a big event?
It was precisely because of his hopes for Li Huan that Zhu Houzhao really wanted to know what happened at the pier at this moment, and whether the people in the household department could successfully receive the money into the treasury.
Qiu Ju, Gao Feng and others naturally knew why Zhu Houzhao was fidgeting, but there was no news from outside the palace, and they didn't know what was going on outside.
Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao looked up at Qiu Ju and said, "Is there no news yet?"
When the two heard the words, Qiu Ju hurriedly said: "Go back to Your Majesty, there is no news yet, Your Majesty will wait a little longer, maybe there will be news in a long time."
Zhu Houzhao sighed softly: "In fact, I also know that even if there is news, it may not be good news. I am afraid that the money will not enter my internal treasury."
Although Zhu Houzhao is not the kind of money-greedy king, Zhu Houzhao also feels a heartache when he thinks of the millions of silver coins that have not been copied.
His life as the emperor is not easy.
In particular, his father did not leave him much inheritance at all. The little gold and silver accumulated by Emperor Xianzong was taken away bit by bit under the fudge of the minister during his father's reign. After going out, it was only when he came to the throne that he discovered that there were only less than one million taels of gold and silver in the inner treasury.
That is to say, Li Huan gave him two to three hundred thousand taels of silver at the beginning, which made his silver deposits in the internal treasury reach about one million. Otherwise, he would be really poor this day.
The imperial city is so big, so the daily expenses are quite a lot. In addition, during the festivals, he, the emperor, has to reward his courtiers. The sum of all kinds of expenses is not a small number.
If the emperor has no money in his hands, he has no confidence in what he wants to do.
Originally thinking that Li Huan had confiscated so much silver, this time his internal treasury should be able to harvest a lot, but he didn't expect that the civil official group would be eyeing the gold and silver.
And the reason given, even he, the emperor, has no way to object.
Thinking of this in his heart, Zhu Houzhao sighed softly: "It's too difficult for the Son of Heaven."
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, whether it was Zhu Houzhao, Qiu Ju, or Gao Feng, they all raised their heads and looked outside the hall when they heard the movement.
The person who came was none other than Ma Yongcheng.
When they saw Ma Yongcheng, Gao Feng and Qiu Ju's eyes lit up, and Zhu Houzhao stared at Ma Yongcheng even more.
Entering the imperial study, Ma Yongcheng bowed to the emperor, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be too polite, get up and talk to me, has the person from the household department received the money?"
Anyway, Zhu Houzhao has no hope at this moment, but there is still a trace of unwillingness in his heart.
Ma Yongcheng stood up, thinking about what happened on the pier, he couldn't help showing a strange look on his face and said: "Return to Your Majesty, the money is still on the ship, and the people in the household department have not been able to receive the money at this moment."
Zhu Houzhao nodded subconsciously, but suddenly raised his head to look at Ma Yongcheng, and said with a look of astonishment on his face: "Dad, what are you talking about? The people in the household department didn't receive the money, how is this possible? Is it possible that the household department Say you don’t want to accept that sum of money?”
Ma Yongcheng said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty, it's not that the Ministry of Households doesn't want to, but Du Guang, who is in charge of escorting that batch of gold and silver, doesn't recognize the Ministry of Households at all."
Hearing Ma Yongcheng's words, Zhu Houzhao's spirit was shocked immediately, he straightened his body, looked at Ma Yongcheng and said, "My friend, tell me quickly what's going on."
Ma Yongcheng immediately told the emperor what happened on the pier in great detail, especially when Du Guang chopped off the head of an official of the household department, Gao Feng and Qiu Ju's eyes widened. .
Qiu Ju couldn't help muttering softly: "Don't say it, this is really Brother Li's style. I didn't expect the people under Brother Li to have some of his spirit."
Gao Feng smiled lightly and said, "Does it need to be said? If he had no ability, Brother Li probably wouldn't let Du Guang go to Qianshan County to preside over such an important matter."
Zhu Houzhao was also amazed.
Du Guang killed the officials of the household department. To be honest, Zhu Houzhao was really surprised when he heard it all of a sudden. All of a sudden it was different.
In the past, Jin Yiwei's attitude when facing civil servants, he, the emperor, couldn't be more clear.
At the beginning, he just wanted to reorganize the guards, because he was afraid of the civil society, but no one in Jin Yiwei dared to stand up.
Luckily now, Du Guang, the Jinyiwei Qianhu, dared to behead an official on the spot in front of a third-rank official of the imperial court.
Ma Yongcheng noticed the change in Zhu Houzhao's expression, and couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the cabinet has received the news at this moment. With the old man of Yang Ge, he might go there in person. At that time, Du Guang, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, may not be able to Can handle the pressure."
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, the excitement just now disappeared.
Yes, Du Guang can bear the pressure of a servant, but he can't bear the pressure of Yang Tinghe and Baiguan.
Zhu Houzhao could even imagine that before long, there would definitely be many people from all the court officials accompanying Yang Tinghe to the pier.
When facing a group of officials headed by Yang Tinghe, will Du Guang still be able to withstand the pressure?
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Houzhao said to Ma Yongcheng: "Go, Ma Daban, you go for a walk in person, I'm afraid that the officials will take Du Guang, money is fine, but Du Guang is loyal to you, I will never do it." Let it fall into the hands of hundreds of officials."
When Ma Yongcheng heard this, he immediately said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this old slave will go right away, Jin Yiwei is the emperor's own army, even if he wants to punish a crime, His Majesty must nod."
Yu Ma Jian
Gu Dayong is mostly sitting in the Imperial Horse Supervisor these days.
On this day, Gu Dayong was dealing with some matters in the imperial horse prison, when suddenly he saw a small servant walking over with a small banner officer of Jin Yiwei.
When he saw the little flag officer, Gu Dayong's eyes lit up and he stood up suddenly.
As for how to dispose of the confiscated money, whether it should be charged to the national treasury or the internal treasury, there is such a big commotion. As the head of the Royal Horse Supervisor, Gu Dayong, who is in charge of the emperor's internal treasury, doesn't know.
Not only did Gu Dayong know about it, but he had also been paying attention to it.
Now when he saw the little banner officer of Jinyiwei, Gu Dayong stood up and looked at the little banner officer, without waiting for the other party to salute, he said, "Quickly tell me, has Du Qianhu escorted the money into Beijing?"
Xiaoqi officer nodded at Gu Dayong when he heard the words: "Go back to the Chief Manager, Mr. Du ordered me to inform the Chief Manager that the silver has arrived at the pier, and please ask the Chief Manager to take someone to hand it over."
Gu Dayong had an excited smile on his face when he heard the words, he couldn't help giggling and said: "Okay, okay, let's go now."
As Gu Dayong walked outside, he yelled at a waiter, "Give me an order to ask Commander Jiang to immediately take people with us to the pier."
Soon, hundreds of elites from the Tengxiang Youwei Battalion came out of the camp with large carts, and followed Gu Dayong towards the pier.
Just looking at Gu Dayong's reaction, it is obvious that Gu Dayong has made preparations early.
Riding on the horse, Gu Dayong looked at the convoy behind him, and with a smile on his lips, he said to Jiang Chi, the commander next to him: "I have to say that Brother Li Huan is really far-sighted and predicts things like a god. Send someone to quietly summon our family to make preparations, and once the silver boat arrives at the pier, they will lead people to pull the silver into the inner treasury."
Jiang Chi was able to be arranged by Gu Dayong to do such things, and he was obviously Gu Dayong's confidant, who knew the whole story, and said with a smile: "The governor of the capital is like a god, and he made the arrangements early on. Those in the household department People don't know anything yet, so I really think that the money will fall into their hands easily."
Gu Dayong sneered at the words: "That's right, the money was confiscated by Brother Li, and it was going to enter His Majesty's inner treasury, so how can we take advantage of those officials in the court for nothing? We really don't know what kind of money they are. .”
At the same time, Bao Qing and others came to the cabinet very quickly to ask for a meeting with several cabinet elders.
In fact, several Ge elders also knew that the big ship escorting the silver arrived in the capital today, and they were all concerned about it.
Originally, the situation was very good, and the emperor did not refuse. This naturally made many people think that the money would definitely enter the treasury smoothly.
Yang Tinghe seems to be working as steadily as Mount Tai, but it is obviously impossible for him to be so peaceful in his heart. Yang Tinghe always feels that things are not that simple, and Li Huan does not seem to be such a talkative person.
Now it is taking advantage of Li Huan's absence in Beijing, otherwise, Yang Tinghe really can't guarantee whether the court can win this sum of money.
But now that Li Huanyuan is in the land of Zhejiang, and the imperial court has a great reputation in his hands, a mere family of Jin Yiwei will naturally not be able to resist the imperial court. No matter how you look at it, this sum of money can be collected into the national treasury.
But at this moment, an official came in a hurry, alarming Yang Tinghe who was in deep thought.
Looking up at the official, Yang Tinghe frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
The official hurriedly said: "Ge Lao, Zuo Shilang of the Household Department, Censor Bian Yu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and others are asking to see some Ge Laos."
Yang Tinghe couldn't help frowning upon hearing this.
Bao Qing came to see them at this time, could it be that the money has already entered the treasury, but if you count the time, it seems wrong.
There are millions of taels of silver, just loading and unloading, and then counting and storing them in the warehouse. I am afraid that I will not understand it in a single day.
According to Yang Tinghe's estimate, it would be good if the people from the household department can finish these tasks before dawn tomorrow.
"Could it be that something unexpected happened?"
With such a thought in mind, Yang Tinghe immediately got up and left the side hall, and when Yang Tinghe walked out of the side hall, Li Dongyang, Wang Yangming, and Liu Yu who had already received the news also came out.
Although there are some rifts among the cabinet elders in this term of the cabinet, they still attach great importance to the matter of millions of taels of gold and silver.
In particular, it also involves the repair of the Huanghuai River and the relief of victims in Shaanxi, although there is still a certain amount of money available in the treasury.
But once the money from the national treasury is used, it will really bottom out. If there is any accident at that time, if the court can't spend money to deal with it, there will be problems.
As Ge elders, they can't bear this kind of responsibility.
Soon Bao Qing, Bian Yu and others walked in.
When seeing Yang Ting and the elders, Bao Qing directly bowed to them and said, "Elders, you must make decisions for the subordinates."
Seeing Bao Qing's appearance, Li Dongyang couldn't help but frowned and said: "Didn't Bao Shilang go to receive the money? Could it be..."
Bao Qing immediately explained in detail how Du Guang, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, did not cooperate, and how he beheaded the officials of the household department in front of them.
Hearing this, Yang Tinghe slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "Bold, who gave him the courage to kill court officials without authorization."
Although it is said that he is only an official of the household department, he is still an official official of the imperial court. If Du Guang's actions are true, he will be charged with a lot of crimes.
It can even be said that if you want to go to the death, you can even be convicted of treason for the crime of killing an official of the court without authorization.
Even Li Dongyang frowned.
Although Liu Yu and Wang Yangming said they didn't speak, their expressions were calm, making it impossible to see what they were thinking.
Bao Qing said to Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and the others: "I also invite a few elders to be able to make decisions for the officials and others."
Yang Tinghe looked at Li Dongyang, Wang Yangming, and Liu Yu and said, "Everyone, Du Guang was good at killing the imperial court officials. Jin Yiwei must give an account of this matter, and the money is related to the next administration of the imperial court. Yang also invites you to come forward together." Go to the docks and take the silver back to the treasury."
Saying that, Yang Tinghe got up directly, and strode outside.
Seeing this, Bao Qing, Bian Yu and other officials showed a bit of excitement on their faces, and hurriedly followed.
Li Dongyang sighed softly and walked out.
Liu Yu glanced at Wang Yangming and said in a low voice, "Old Wang Ge, let's..."
Wang Yangming said slowly: "Let's go, no matter what, this trip is still going."
Not long after, many Korean and Chinese soldiers rushed over after hearing the news, and dozens of people gathered soon.
Even if dozens of ordinary people walk together, it can cause quite a stir, not to mention that these are all court officials in official uniforms, which naturally attract the attention of many people.
Some of these officials are here for Du Guang, Li Huan is fine, they can't afford to provoke them, but having one Li Huan is enough, now even a Jinyiwei Qianhu dares to kill the officials of the household department at will, even though it is only one officials.
But in the eyes of some officials, this is absolutely intolerable.
If you don't punish Du Guang while Li Huan is not in the capital, and give the officials of the Jinyiwei a lesson and warning, who knows if the Jinyiwei will ride on their necks in the future? If so, how will they survive? .
On this long street leading to the wharf, there are dozens of officials headed by Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Wang Yangming, Liu Yu, etc., plus some low-level officials who heard the news, there are as many as a hundred people, and the momentum is extremely powerful. big.
On the other long street leading to the pier, Gu Dayong also led the people from the Tengxiang Youwei camp, and rushed towards the pier with carts at a very fast speed.
Gu Dayong hurriedly urged his subordinates to say: "Hurry up, everyone work harder for our family, we are fighting for time now, we must not give the officials time to react, otherwise, the money will not be so good Take it."

(End of this chapter)
Du Guang just glanced at Tang Qing lightly and said: "If your Excellency didn't hear clearly, then you should listen carefully. Without the imperial decree of your majesty, or the warrant of my commander, the gold and silver on this ship, no one should think about it." move."
Tang Qing immediately glared at Du Guang and said, "Du Qianhu, you are so courageous. I speak to you on behalf of the Ministry of Households. I represent the imperial court. Do you still have the imperial court in your eyes?"
Seeing Tang Qing's threatening appearance, Du Guang couldn't help laughing, his face turned cold, and he stopped pretending, and sneered, "You really have a big tone, the court? You still can't represent the court."
Speaking of which, Du Guang sneered and said, "Go away, if you dare to take advantage of this batch of money without His Majesty's will, then don't blame me for treating you as thieves and beheading you on the spot."
Bao Qing and the others on the bank looked at the big boats on the river with anticipation on their faces.
These big ships are loaded with gold and silver, which is a huge amount of millions of taels, and soon these gold and silver will enter the national treasury through their hands.
So what about Li Huan, how to deal with the money is not up to them in the end.
At this time, there was a sudden movement on the big ship not far away, and it seemed that a rolling word was vaguely heard.
The few people who were talking in low voices suddenly froze for a moment, and looked up at Du Guang and Tang Qing on the deck with puzzled expressions on their faces.
Bao Qing couldn't help frowning and said: "What's going on with Tang Qing? It's just a handover with Du Guang. Why haven't we done it after such a long time?"
At this time, an official next to him stroked his beard, frowned slightly and said, "Master Bao, I'm afraid things might be a little troublesome."
While speaking, Tang Qing opened his mouth on the deck and was about to say something. Suddenly, Du Guang took a step forward, and a strong evil spirit rushed towards Tang Qing. The killing intent only scared Tang Qing back a step.
The pale-faced Tang Qing was ashamed and angry, staring at Du Guang and Du Guang's big hand on the handle of the knife, flicking his sleeves violently, and shouting at Du Guang angrily: "Bold Du Guang! , you wait, you wait..."
Obviously Tang Qing was stunned. It was the murderous intent on Du Guang that made him feel Du Guang's determination. If he continued to entangle, the other party would really dare to slash at him.
Tang Qing, who stepped down from the deck, had a faint look of hatred in his eyes, and strode towards Bao Qing and the others.
And at this moment, everyone's eyes were also on Tang Qing, obviously curious about what Tang Qing said to Du Guang and why Tang Qing looked a little wrong.
Bao Qing frowned and looked at Tang Qing who was approaching, and said, "Tang Qing, what's going on, why haven't you completed the handover with Du Guang?"
Tang Qing's face was full of grievances, and he said tremblingly at Bao Qing: "My lord, my lord, you have to make decisions for this lower official, that Jin Yiwei Qianhu Du Guang is really rude, this lower official is very polite Handed over to him, but he refused to hand over the money on the ship to our household department, and said... and said..."
Hearing Tang Qing say that Du Guang refused to complete the handover with the household department, Bao Qing's expression became very ugly, and he said angrily, "What else did he say?"
Tang Qing gritted his teeth and said, "He also said that unless we can come up with His Majesty's imperial decree or Li Huan's warrant, otherwise, if we dare to play with these money, he will treat us as thieves..."
Before Tang Qing could finish speaking, Bao Qing exploded and shouted angrily, "So bold, he is so bold. We represent the Ministry of Household Affairs and the imperial court. He dared to refuse to hand over to us."
Saying that, Bao Qing strode directly towards the horizontal board not far away, and walked directly towards Du Guang along the horizontal board across the shore and the big ship.
Du Guang was not at all surprised by Bao Qing's arrival, Tang Qing was just a small Yuanwailang, nothing in the court at all.
The people who came this time were obviously different. Although Du Guang did not dare to say that he knew all the officials, he did know the clothes of the officials.
The chief banner officer standing beside Du Guang couldn't help but whisper to Du Guang: "My lord..."
Du Guang naturally knew his subordinates' worries, shook his head slightly and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, it's fine."
While speaking, Bao Qing stepped onto the big boat and shouted at Du Guang: "Bold Du Guang, do you know who we are?"
Du Guang said lightly: "I don't know."
Du Guang's words almost made Bao Qing die of anger, he didn't believe that Du Guang didn't know his identity, even if he had never met him, he must know the official uniform he was wearing.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Du Baoqing shouted at Du Guang: "Okay, okay, since you don't know me, I will tell you that I am Bao Qing, the left servant of the household department, and I was ordered to come to receive your escort money back."
Du Guang glanced at Bao Qing lightly, stretched out his hand and said, "If there is any difference between His Majesty's imperial decree or the warrant of my Commander, I will immediately complete the handover with Mr. Minister, otherwise, it will be difficult to obey."
Bao Qing stared at Du Guang with wide eyes and said, "You...do you know what you are talking about?"
Du Guang just looked at Bao Qing indifferently.
Bao Qing shouted suddenly: "Come here, prepare to transfer money."
Apparently Bao Qing was planning to forcibly take over Yinchuan.
Tang Qing, who was on the shore, listened to Bao Qing's instructions, and immediately showed joy in his eyes, and said to several officials in the household department and a group of expedition officers: "Have you heard that, come with me on board, and prepare to transfer money silver."
The eyes of those officials from the household department lit up immediately, and they stepped on the wooden board happily one by one.
For them, it was a good job to transfer the money into the warehouse.
It can be said that every time local taxes are put into the treasury, they are able to eat and eat, and it is obviously the same this time.
Even in order to fight for this opportunity, they made a lot of connections, which is considered to have won this good job.
Several officials boarded the big ship at an extremely fast speed, and behind them were conscripted servants.
On the big boat, Du Guang listened to Bao Qing's order, raised his eyebrows, and said with a sharp murderous intent in his eyes: "Bao Shilang, do you know what you are doing?"
Bao Qing sneered and said, "I also want to ask you, Du Qianhu, do you know what you are doing?"
He is a dignified third-rank official, if he can't hold down even a mere Jinyiwei Qianhu, then why would he have the face to meet all his colleagues.
You must know how many people in Chaozhong Xu knew that he came to receive the money today, and there were even many officials on the shore watching, if he was stopped by Du Guang just like that, wouldn't he be shameless?
Tang Qing and several officials from the household department boarded the boat, saluted Bao Qing and said, "My lord, our people are here!"
Bao Qing nodded and said, "Get ready!"
Tang Qing waved his hand excitedly and said, "Get ready to count the money."
Several officials from the household department stepped forward excitedly when they heard the words, and their eyes naturally turned to the big ship. The big boxes that were sealed with seals were all white and golden gold and silver.
Just when these officials were about to walk towards those boxes, they only heard a loud shout and said: "Who dares, if you don't have His Majesty's order, and my lord's warrant, don't even think about taking these money. Take a step forward, I have the right to kill you and others on the spot."
Du Guang stared at these officials with a murderous look on his face.
Tang Qing and the others were taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Bao Qing.
After hearing Du Guang's words, Bao Qing smiled anxiously and said to Tang Qing and others: "What are you doing in a daze, didn't you hear what I said, and don't do anything."
Tang Qing took a breath, glanced at Du Guang and said, "My lord has an order to take over the silver boat..."
Several officials stepped forward again, but at this moment, there was a choking sound, and the Xiuchun knife came out of its sheath, followed by a flash of light.
Tang Qing's eyes widened, and a hot stream sprayed his face in an instant. Right in front of him, the official who had just taken a step was beheaded by Du Guang with a knife.
The blood spurted, and the bloody scene directly stunned everyone.
The guard who had followed onto the boat was so frightened that his expression changed drastically. He turned his head and ran towards the shore as if he had seen a ghost. At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Killed, Jin Yiwei killed!"
With a plop, Tang Qing fell to the ground in fright, his face pale, and he looked in disbelief at Du Guang, who was standing in front of them brandishing a knife, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Even Bao Qing was so frightened by this scene that he stepped back a few steps, looked at Du Guang in horror, and then looked at the body of the household official who fell on the ground.
"You... how dare you!"
Bao Qing stared angrily at Du Guang who was standing with a knife.
Du Guang's saber was really unexpected, even Bao Qing never thought that Du Guang would do it as soon as he said it.
After all, in Bao Qing's view, apart from Li Huan, the people in Jinyiwei are still easy to deal with. Just like in the past, his dignified servant, even Shi Wenyi, the commander of Jinyiwei back then, was very polite when he met him. Not to mention just a mere thousand households.
But now Du Guang cut off the head of their household official in front of him, how could this not shock Bao Qing.
A murderous intent flashed in Du Guang's eyes, he took a step forward, and shouted in a deep voice, "Get lost!"
Following Du Guang's move, these Jinyiwei stepped forward one by one, directly pulled out the Xiuchun knife from their waists, and glared at Bao Qing, Tang Qing and others, looking at their posture, if they dare to step forward One step away, the Xiuchun Knife in their hands will definitely cut down on them.
"Madman, what a bunch of lunatics, just wait, I will never spare you..."
Bao Qing was frightened and angry, especially when Du Guang's murderous eyes fell on him, Bao Qing was scared out of his wits, and he took a few steps back again, then turned around and left with cruel words.
He didn't dare to stay on this boat for a moment. If Du Guang went crazy and hacked him to death on the boat, wouldn't he die too unjustly?
Even Bao Qing was frightened away, Tang Qing and others could imagine that they scrambled and followed Bao Qing to get off the boat.
Although there was a distance, the people on the shore could clearly see what was happening on the deck.
Especially when Du Guang returned to the scene where he directly chopped off the head of an official of the household department, everyone was dumbfounded.
For some reason, looking at Du Guang's figure, they seemed to see Li Huan.
Thinking of Li Huan, these officials shuddered subconsciously. They could only say that they were the subordinates of that lunatic Li Huan?
Since the Jinyiwei under Li Huan's control, these Jinyiwei have become more and more rampant, killing people at every turn.
Many officials looked at each other with a look of fear in their eyes.
Bao Qing and the others retreated from the boat, thinking that he was a dignified third-rank official who was actually threatened by a Jinyiwei Qianhu, Bao Qing was filled with anger.
At this moment, a censor stepped forward and said to Bao Qing: "Bao Shilang, these Jin Yiwei are too rampant. If you want me to say it, it's best to send troops here and take these people..."
Some officials couldn't help but glanced at the censor after hearing the words, "Deploy troops?"This one really dares to say, ever since Feng Hai led the Jingying Xiaoyongying into the capital and caused a rebellion, the emperor was extremely sensitive to the mobilization of soldiers and horses.
If this was the case in the past, maybe they could really easily mobilize some soldiers and horses, but are they really not afraid of irritating the emperor in the palace by mobilizing troops at this time?
Bao Qing obviously knew that what the censor said was a bad idea.
Taking a deep breath, Bao Qing glanced viciously at Du Guang and the Jinyiwei who were standing on the deck, and said coldly: "I can't help that Li Huan, does it mean that he can't deal with a mere Jinyiwei Qianhu?" ?"
As he spoke, Bao Qing waved his sleeves violently and said: "I am going to see the old man to impeach Du Guang. I implore Your Majesty to issue an order to bring Du Guang down."
"That's right, we can't do anything to Li Huan, and we can't do anything to a thousand households of Jinyiwei?"
"Jin Yiwei is too arrogant to kill people at every turn. We must not condone them."
"A letter of impeachment must be written to impeach."
All of a sudden, many officials who saw the scene where Du Guang swung a knife and chopped off the head of an official of the household department felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in their hearts, and clamored for the impeachment of Du Guang.
A lot of people gathered in this wharf, not only Bao Qing and other officials from the household department, but also many people who depended on this wharf for their livelihood.
The previous scene was obviously seen by many people, so the news spread quickly.
Of course, among the many people on the pier, there is Ma Yongcheng, the governor of the East Factory who just got off the boat not long ago.
Ma Yongcheng escorted the fleet to the pier, and the whole person breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Ma Yongcheng did not leave after landing, but chose a place to watch from a distance.
Bao Qing, the servant of the household department, brought a group of people to prepare to hand over to Du Guang and receive the money. Naturally, Ma Yongcheng got the news early on.
Earlier, Ma Yongcheng had specially reminded Du Guang.
At that time, Du Guang replied that he had his own way to deal with it, but Ma Yongcheng didn't really believe it at that time.
He couldn't think of any way, how could Du Guang, a family of Jinyiwei, face the pressure of Bao Qing, or the pressure of the officials.
So Ma Yongcheng has been paying attention to the movement on the silver boat since he landed.
When Tang Qing was kicked off the boat, Ma Yongcheng's originally indifferent expression showed a bit of solemnity.
Others might not be able to hear the conversation between Du Guang and Tang Qing, but that doesn't prevent Ma Yongcheng from hearing it. Even if Ma Yongcheng couldn't hear it, the far superior boss next to him could hear it clearly and relayed it to Ma Yongcheng. .
Ma Yongcheng was amazed, obviously he didn't expect Du Guang to respond like that.
It's just that Ma Yongcheng still broke into a cold sweat for Du Guang, especially when Bao Qing boarded the ship and forced the people from the household department to board the ship to take over the silver ship by force, Ma Yongcheng thought that Du Guang must have no choice.
But when Du Guang cut off the head of an official of the household department with that knife, Ma Yongcheng was stunned.
It can be imagined that even Ma Yongcheng, the governor of the East Factory, did not expect Du Guang to have such a decisive side, let alone other people.
It took a while for Ma Yongcheng to react. Seeing Bao Qing and others hurried away in a panic, Ma Yongcheng knew without thinking what these people were going to do.
Taking a deep breath, Ma Yongcheng immediately yelled at the Dongchang fans beside him: "You guys keep an eye on me here, our family will go to the palace to see His Majesty, if there is any news, be sure to send it to the palace as soon as possible .”
In the imperial city
On this day, Zhu Houzhao was in the imperial study room. Although he was reading some memorials, he seemed a little absent-minded, giving people a feeling of restlessness and being out of place.
Thinking about it, yes, if nothing unexpected happens, millions of taels of gold and silver will arrive in the capital today. The key point is that there is no conclusion on whether the sum of gold and silver will be charged into the national treasury or the internal treasury.
Zhu Houzhao has received the news that the people from the household department have taken people to wait on the pier, ready to receive the money.
In fact, Zhu Houzhao didn't have much hope in his heart. After all, Zhu Houzhao didn't think that a thousand households of Jinyiwei could withstand the pressure from the court.
Even though he guessed that the money might eventually enter the treasury, Zhu Houzhao still felt a little uneasy. What if, what if some miracle happened? Didn't Li Huan make any arrangements for such a big event?
It was precisely because of his hopes for Li Huan that Zhu Houzhao really wanted to know what happened at the pier at this moment, and whether the people in the household department could successfully receive the money into the treasury.
Qiu Ju, Gao Feng and others naturally knew why Zhu Houzhao was fidgeting, but there was no news from outside the palace, and they didn't know what was going on outside.
Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao looked up at Qiu Ju and said, "Is there no news yet?"
When the two heard the words, Qiu Ju hurriedly said: "Go back to Your Majesty, there is no news yet, Your Majesty will wait a little longer, maybe there will be news in a long time."
Zhu Houzhao sighed softly: "In fact, I also know that even if there is news, it may not be good news. I am afraid that the money will not enter my internal treasury."
Although Zhu Houzhao is not the kind of money-greedy king, Zhu Houzhao also feels a heartache when he thinks of the millions of silver coins that have not been copied.
His life as the emperor is not easy.
In particular, his father did not leave him much inheritance at all. The little gold and silver accumulated by Emperor Xianzong was taken away bit by bit under the fudge of the minister during his father's reign. After going out, it was only when he came to the throne that he discovered that there were only less than one million taels of gold and silver in the inner treasury.
That is to say, Li Huan gave him two to three hundred thousand taels of silver at the beginning, which made his silver deposits in the internal treasury reach about one million. Otherwise, he would be really poor this day.
The imperial city is so big, so the daily expenses are quite a lot. In addition, during the festivals, he, the emperor, has to reward his courtiers. The sum of all kinds of expenses is not a small number.
If the emperor has no money in his hands, he has no confidence in what he wants to do.
Originally thinking that Li Huan had confiscated so much silver, this time his internal treasury should be able to harvest a lot, but he didn't expect that the civil official group would be eyeing the gold and silver.
And the reason given, even he, the emperor, has no way to object.
Thinking of this in his heart, Zhu Houzhao sighed softly: "It's too difficult for the Son of Heaven."
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, whether it was Zhu Houzhao, Qiu Ju, or Gao Feng, they all raised their heads and looked outside the hall when they heard the movement.
The person who came was none other than Ma Yongcheng.
When they saw Ma Yongcheng, Gao Feng and Qiu Ju's eyes lit up, and Zhu Houzhao stared at Ma Yongcheng even more.
Entering the imperial study, Ma Yongcheng bowed to the emperor, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be too polite, get up and talk to me, has the person from the household department received the money?"
Anyway, Zhu Houzhao has no hope at this moment, but there is still a trace of unwillingness in his heart.
Ma Yongcheng stood up, thinking about what happened on the pier, he couldn't help showing a strange look on his face and said: "Return to Your Majesty, the money is still on the ship, and the people in the household department have not been able to receive the money at this moment."
Zhu Houzhao nodded subconsciously, but suddenly raised his head to look at Ma Yongcheng, and said with a look of astonishment on his face: "Dad, what are you talking about? The people in the household department didn't receive the money, how is this possible? Is it possible that the household department Say you don’t want to accept that sum of money?”
Ma Yongcheng said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty, it's not that the Ministry of Households doesn't want to, but Du Guang, who is in charge of escorting that batch of gold and silver, doesn't recognize the Ministry of Households at all."
Hearing Ma Yongcheng's words, Zhu Houzhao's spirit was shocked immediately, he straightened his body, looked at Ma Yongcheng and said, "My friend, tell me quickly what's going on."
Ma Yongcheng immediately told the emperor what happened on the pier in great detail, especially when Du Guang chopped off the head of an official of the household department, Gao Feng and Qiu Ju's eyes widened. .
Qiu Ju couldn't help muttering softly: "Don't say it, this is really Brother Li's style. I didn't expect the people under Brother Li to have some of his spirit."
Gao Feng smiled lightly and said, "Does it need to be said? If he had no ability, Brother Li probably wouldn't let Du Guang go to Qianshan County to preside over such an important matter."
Zhu Houzhao was also amazed.
Du Guang killed the officials of the household department. To be honest, Zhu Houzhao was really surprised when he heard it all of a sudden. All of a sudden it was different.
In the past, Jin Yiwei's attitude when facing civil servants, he, the emperor, couldn't be more clear.
At the beginning, he just wanted to reorganize the guards, because he was afraid of the civil society, but no one in Jin Yiwei dared to stand up.
Luckily now, Du Guang, the Jinyiwei Qianhu, dared to behead an official on the spot in front of a third-rank official of the imperial court.
Ma Yongcheng noticed the change in Zhu Houzhao's expression, and couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the cabinet has received the news at this moment. With the old man of Yang Ge, he might go there in person. At that time, Du Guang, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, may not be able to Can handle the pressure."
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, the excitement just now disappeared.
Yes, Du Guang can bear the pressure of a servant, but he can't bear the pressure of Yang Tinghe and Baiguan.
Zhu Houzhao could even imagine that before long, there would definitely be many people from all the court officials accompanying Yang Tinghe to the pier.
When facing a group of officials headed by Yang Tinghe, will Du Guang still be able to withstand the pressure?
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Houzhao said to Ma Yongcheng: "Go, Ma Daban, you go for a walk in person, I'm afraid that the officials will take Du Guang, money is fine, but Du Guang is loyal to you, I will never do it." Let it fall into the hands of hundreds of officials."
When Ma Yongcheng heard this, he immediately said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this old slave will go right away, Jin Yiwei is the emperor's own army, even if he wants to punish a crime, His Majesty must nod."
Yu Ma Jian
Gu Dayong is mostly sitting in the Imperial Horse Supervisor these days.
On this day, Gu Dayong was dealing with some matters in the imperial horse prison, when suddenly he saw a small servant walking over with a small banner officer of Jin Yiwei.
When he saw the little flag officer, Gu Dayong's eyes lit up and he stood up suddenly.
As for how to dispose of the confiscated money, whether it should be charged to the national treasury or the internal treasury, there is such a big commotion. As the head of the Royal Horse Supervisor, Gu Dayong, who is in charge of the emperor's internal treasury, doesn't know.
Not only did Gu Dayong know about it, but he had also been paying attention to it.
Now when he saw the little banner officer of Jinyiwei, Gu Dayong stood up and looked at the little banner officer, without waiting for the other party to salute, he said, "Quickly tell me, has Du Qianhu escorted the money into Beijing?"
Xiaoqi officer nodded at Gu Dayong when he heard the words: "Go back to the Chief Manager, Mr. Du ordered me to inform the Chief Manager that the silver has arrived at the pier, and please ask the Chief Manager to take someone to hand it over."
Gu Dayong had an excited smile on his face when he heard the words, he couldn't help giggling and said: "Okay, okay, let's go now."
As Gu Dayong walked outside, he yelled at a waiter, "Give me an order to ask Commander Jiang to immediately take people with us to the pier."
Soon, hundreds of elites from the Tengxiang Youwei Battalion came out of the camp with large carts, and followed Gu Dayong towards the pier.
Just looking at Gu Dayong's reaction, it is obvious that Gu Dayong has made preparations early.
Riding on the horse, Gu Dayong looked at the convoy behind him, and with a smile on his lips, he said to Jiang Chi, the commander next to him: "I have to say that Brother Li Huan is really far-sighted and predicts things like a god. Send someone to quietly summon our family to make preparations, and once the silver boat arrives at the pier, they will lead people to pull the silver into the inner treasury."
Jiang Chi was able to be arranged by Gu Dayong to do such things, and he was obviously Gu Dayong's confidant, who knew the whole story, and said with a smile: "The governor of the capital is like a god, and he made the arrangements early on. Those in the household department People don't know anything yet, so I really think that the money will fall into their hands easily."
Gu Dayong sneered at the words: "That's right, the money was confiscated by Brother Li, and it was going to enter His Majesty's inner treasury, so how can we take advantage of those officials in the court for nothing? We really don't know what kind of money they are. .”
At the same time, Bao Qing and others came to the cabinet very quickly to ask for a meeting with several cabinet elders.
In fact, several Ge elders also knew that the big ship escorting the silver arrived in the capital today, and they were all concerned about it.
Originally, the situation was very good, and the emperor did not refuse. This naturally made many people think that the money would definitely enter the treasury smoothly.
Yang Tinghe seems to be working as steadily as Mount Tai, but it is obviously impossible for him to be so peaceful in his heart. Yang Tinghe always feels that things are not that simple, and Li Huan does not seem to be such a talkative person.
Now it is taking advantage of Li Huan's absence in Beijing, otherwise, Yang Tinghe really can't guarantee whether the court can win this sum of money.
But now that Li Huanyuan is in the land of Zhejiang, and the imperial court has a great reputation in his hands, a mere family of Jin Yiwei will naturally not be able to resist the imperial court. No matter how you look at it, this sum of money can be collected into the national treasury.
But at this moment, an official came in a hurry, alarming Yang Tinghe who was in deep thought.
Looking up at the official, Yang Tinghe frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
The official hurriedly said: "Ge Lao, Zuo Shilang of the Household Department, Censor Bian Yu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and others are asking to see some Ge Laos."
Yang Tinghe couldn't help frowning upon hearing this.
Bao Qing came to see them at this time, could it be that the money has already entered the treasury, but if you count the time, it seems wrong.
There are millions of taels of silver, just loading and unloading, and then counting and storing them in the warehouse. I am afraid that I will not understand it in a single day.
According to Yang Tinghe's estimate, it would be good if the people from the household department can finish these tasks before dawn tomorrow.
"Could it be that something unexpected happened?"
With such a thought in mind, Yang Tinghe immediately got up and left the side hall, and when Yang Tinghe walked out of the side hall, Li Dongyang, Wang Yangming, and Liu Yu who had already received the news also came out.
Although there are some rifts among the cabinet elders in this term of the cabinet, they still attach great importance to the matter of millions of taels of gold and silver.
In particular, it also involves the repair of the Huanghuai River and the relief of victims in Shaanxi, although there is still a certain amount of money available in the treasury.
But once the money from the national treasury is used, it will really bottom out. If there is any accident at that time, if the court can't spend money to deal with it, there will be problems.
As Ge elders, they can't bear this kind of responsibility.
Soon Bao Qing, Bian Yu and others walked in.
When seeing Yang Ting and the elders, Bao Qing directly bowed to them and said, "Elders, you must make decisions for the subordinates."
Seeing Bao Qing's appearance, Li Dongyang couldn't help but frowned and said: "Didn't Bao Shilang go to receive the money? Could it be..."
Bao Qing immediately explained in detail how Du Guang, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, did not cooperate, and how he beheaded the officials of the household department in front of them.
Hearing this, Yang Tinghe slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "Bold, who gave him the courage to kill court officials without authorization."
Although it is said that he is only an official of the household department, he is still an official official of the imperial court. If Du Guang's actions are true, he will be charged with a lot of crimes.
It can even be said that if you want to go to the death, you can even be convicted of treason for the crime of killing an official of the court without authorization.
Even Li Dongyang frowned.
Although Liu Yu and Wang Yangming said they didn't speak, their expressions were calm, making it impossible to see what they were thinking.
Bao Qing said to Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and the others: "I also invite a few elders to be able to make decisions for the officials and others."
Yang Tinghe looked at Li Dongyang, Wang Yangming, and Liu Yu and said, "Everyone, Du Guang was good at killing the imperial court officials. Jin Yiwei must give an account of this matter, and the money is related to the next administration of the imperial court. Yang also invites you to come forward together." Go to the docks and take the silver back to the treasury."
Saying that, Yang Tinghe got up directly, and strode outside.
Seeing this, Bao Qing, Bian Yu and other officials showed a bit of excitement on their faces, and hurriedly followed.
Li Dongyang sighed softly and walked out.
Liu Yu glanced at Wang Yangming and said in a low voice, "Old Wang Ge, let's..."
Wang Yangming said slowly: "Let's go, no matter what, this trip is still going."
Not long after, many Korean and Chinese soldiers rushed over after hearing the news, and dozens of people gathered soon.
Even if dozens of ordinary people walk together, it can cause quite a stir, not to mention that these are all court officials in official uniforms, which naturally attract the attention of many people.
Some of these officials are here for Du Guang, Li Huan is fine, they can't afford to provoke them, but having one Li Huan is enough, now even a Jinyiwei Qianhu dares to kill the officials of the household department at will, even though it is only one officials.
But in the eyes of some officials, this is absolutely intolerable.
If you don't punish Du Guang while Li Huan is not in the capital, and give the officials of the Jinyiwei a lesson and warning, who knows if the Jinyiwei will ride on their necks in the future? If so, how will they survive? .
On this long street leading to the wharf, there are dozens of officials headed by Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Wang Yangming, Liu Yu, etc., plus some low-level officials who heard the news, there are as many as a hundred people, and the momentum is extremely powerful. big.
On the other long street leading to the pier, Gu Dayong also led the people from the Tengxiang Youwei camp, and rushed towards the pier with carts at a very fast speed.
Gu Dayong hurriedly urged his subordinates to say: "Hurry up, everyone work harder for our family, we are fighting for time now, we must not give the officials time to react, otherwise, the money will not be so good Take it."
