Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 250 Is Ben Gong a money lover?

The Hubu Shangshu was moved. Although the movement was loud, it was not unexpected. It was the same reason that Qi Youwei was appointed as the Hubu Shangshu. Although many people were dissatisfied, they were basically psychologically prepared. However, if the three cabinet scholars were moved, the court would be in chaos. Zhu Youtang didn't want to see too many changes in the court at this time.

This Zhu Houzhao also understood, so he didn't fight for it. Anyway, there were many opportunities later, so he was not in such a hurry.

Strolling back to Xianyang Palace, things went smoothly, and Zhu Houzhao's mood improved a lot. After returning to Xianyang Palace, Liu Jin came to report that Yang Lian had come.

Zhu Houzhao didn't expect that Yang Lian would come so fast, and she would gain something in such a short time. Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Let them in!"

Not long after, Yang Lian came in from the outside, and saluted Zhu Houzhao humbly: "My servant has seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

Since going to the Huanyi Bureau, Yang Lian has basically been like a fish in water, and the espionage methods have emerged in an endless stream, and the intelligence comes in a timely manner and is prepared, but at the beginning, she was right, Yang Lian is indeed a genius in this area.Glancing at Yang Lian, Zhu Houzhao sat down casually, and then asked, "Is there any clue?"

"Going back to His Royal Highness, there is indeed a clue!" Yang Lian held a stack of papers in her hand, and said respectfully: "There are 21 companies on the list. I have been checked by servants. Three of them are the most serious, and the rest are slightly less serious. Some, four of them basically have no major problems, and the minister sent the information over."

Liu Jin handed over the booklets, and Zhu Houzhao picked them up and looked through them. Sure enough, some of them did too much.

After simply flipping through it, Zhu Houzhao knew it in his heart, nodded and said: "The errands are done well, I know it in my heart, that's it, you go down!"

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was satisfied, Yang Lian also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Your servant will leave!" After saying this, Yang Lian bowed and retreated, and then disappeared at the gate of the palace.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Houzhao ordered Liu Jin: "Go, send someone to the Shouning Hou's mansion, and let the Shouning Hou enter the palace."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Liu Jin agreed, then turned around and walked out, walking quickly.

Looking at Liu Jin's back, Zhu Houzhao stood up and stretched his muscles and bones. At this time, it was indeed time to do something.Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, has enjoyed his benefits for such a long time, and it is indeed time for him to do what he should do. Zhu Houzhao has no psychological burden on this, although this time it is estimated that his life will not be too easy.

Zhu Houzhao didn't wait too long, and Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, walked in from the outside under the guidance of Liu Jin, with a serious expression on his face.

Since the incident happened, the status of Shouning Hou Zhang Heling can be said to have plummeted, and now he is very nervous when he sees Zhu Houzhao, for fear that Zhu Houzhao is arranging him to do something. It can be said that Zhang Heling is really scared.But things in this world are not something you can hide from if you are afraid, and Marquis Shou Ning obviously knows this too.

Called into the palace by Zhu Houzhao this time, Zhang Heling was naturally very serious, and the expression on his face also showed his mood: "I see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Why is Uncle bothering so much?" Zhu Houzhao laughed directly, and told Liu Jin, who was waiting on the side, "Move a stool for Uncle and serve good tea."

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's "uncle", Zhang Heling trembled suddenly, knowing in his heart that this time it might be over, and he had already called "uncle". Looking at the prince's nephew with a bright smile, Shou Ninghou felt even worse, this time it might be a Big pit.Now Zhang Heling is not afraid of being scolded by the prince's nephew, but afraid that the prince's nephew will laugh, and this smile is ready for something.

Zhu Houzhao picked up the three most serious memorials, handed them to Liu Jin and said, "Show it to uncle."

Shou Ninghou was stunned for a moment, his heart trembling with fear, could this be a memorial to his own impeachment?After the implementation of the secret book system, the officials of the Ming Dynasty knew the power of this thing. It is really a little careless to be copied, and you don’t know who joined you. It can be said that it is trembling and walking on thin ice. Zhang Heling is not afraid of impeachment He was afraid that the prince's nephew would clean himself up.

After receiving the memorial and taking a look, Shou Ninghou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, startled himself, it turned out it wasn't his business!

Looking at the contents of the memorial, it was all the crimes of nobles, and it was the kind that went too far. Zhang Heling swallowed, and asked cautiously: "What does His Royal Highness mean?"

"Find a few people to impeach him, and just seal it up." Zhu Houzhao ordered casually, as if he didn't care much.

Zhang Heling immediately breathed a sigh of relief, that's all?Not to mention that Mi Zhe wrote a letter to impeach a few nobles, even if Zhang Heling was impeached by himself, he also felt that it didn't matter, so he nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will arrange it when I return."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and said with a smile: "I can rest assured that I will leave this matter to uncle. There is one more thing that I want to discuss with uncle."

Hearing this, Zhang Heling trembled again. Sure enough, he was right. It must not be a good thing. This memorial is really not a big deal.But Zhang Heling didn't dare to say no!His Royal Highness seeks you to discuss things, you say no, I don't want to discuss, that is really a big death!Typical live impatient.

"That's right, the General Staff Office is about to be established, and Daming also wants to reform the military, but you also know that this military reform will cost money!" Zhu Houzhao looked sad, as if he had encountered some difficulty.

about money?Zhang Heling breathed a sigh of relief again, things that can be solved with money are nothing serious, now I don't have much else, that is, a lot of money.Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Heling said directly: "His Royal Highness, there is still some surplus money in the minister's family. If there is more money, the minister will pay 20 taels!"

Originally, he wanted to say 10 taels, but thinking of the prince's nephew's expression, Zhang Heling gritted his teeth and directly mentioned 20 taels, but finally felt that it was not enough, and said again: "20 taels a year!"

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Zhang Heling, his uncle is really rich, but is he that kind of person?Zhu Houzhao said with a sullen face: "Uncle, what are you talking about? Is this the kind of person who is greedy for money? The country is in trouble. How can I let the courtiers donate their family assets? How can this kind of thing be done by me? Uncle will cut it from now on." Don't talk like that."

After hearing this, Zhang Heling's mood was instantly gloomy. It was over, and 20 taels a year could not be solved. Zhang Heling felt that he was going to cry.
