I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 173
Hearing that Zhu Gaosui finally admitted his attempt on the bank, Li Tian snorted noncommittally twice, his face changed, and his tone was oppressed by the superior, and he said coldly:
"The bank's main account and the five sub-colons cost a total of 2103 million taels. I only paid out 50 taels from the internal treasury, and the remaining 1603 million taels are all your silver. Zhu Gaosui, you have strong financial resources."

As soon as Li Tian got angry, Zhu Gaosui didn't dare to call him Brother Huang any more, his face collapsed and he buried his head on the ground, saying in panic:

"My minister really knew that His Majesty was wrong."

"What? Do you think that if Zhu Jixi's tricks were taken, my internal treasury would really be out of money?"

"My brother dare not think so."

"Don't you dare to think like that? Hmph, I see that you are very daring, and you have thrown more than 100 million taels of silver into the bank without saying a word. I'm afraid you have already figured out how to claim credit from me."

Li Tian was too clear about Zhu Gaosui's idea. It was nothing more than his great efforts to the bank, so he had to remember his good intentions tacitly, and he had to be cautious about his ideas in the future.

With a cold snort, Li Tian didn't wait for Zhu Gaosui's reply, got up, walked to Zhu Gaosui and squatted halfway, patted his shoulder heavily and said:
"Zhu Gaosui, Zhu Gaosui, you really deserve to be the best businessman in the old Zhu family. A million taels of silver not only won my favor, but also won over the eunuchs in the inner court.

And let the civil and military men of the whole court think that I value you, kill three birds with one stone, you are really powerful. "

"Your Majesty is a real dragon soaring to the nine heavens, how dare you compare me to a stone bird."

With a slap on Zhu Gaosui's head, Li Tian lifted Zhu Gaosui up from the ground, and said with some impatience in his tone:

"Don't give me a sloppy eye, tell me, do you think so?"

When the words came to this point, Zhu Gaosui no longer had any luck in his heart, so he immediately squeezed his nose and eyes and burst into tears:

"The emperor's eyes are as bright as a torch, and the ministers are naked in front of the emperor, and all the ministers plead guilty."

"Hey, you called Brother Huang again. You are afraid that I will kill you, so you want to play emotional cards with me?"

The killing in the emperor's mouth was not the harsh words of the local ruffian. Zhu Gaosui's legs trembled uncontrollably when he heard the words.

Unable to believe that he would die tragically for a mere one hundred thousand taels of silver, Zhu Gaosui's eyes were full of horror, he hugged Li Tian's thigh, and cried out incessantly:
"Father said before his death that the elder brother would take good care of the younger brother, and the younger brother never believed it."

Seeing Zhu Gaosui's miserable appearance with nose and tears, Li Tian couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

Kicking Zhu Gaosui to get him up, Li Tian gave Jiang Bao a wink, turned around and sat down again, tapped on the table, and said with a half-smile:

"Zhu Gaosui, why do you think that if you tell the truth, I won't let you interfere?"

Jiang Bao comprehended, and pulled out a square scarf from his arms as if conjuring, handed it to Zhu Gaosui, turned around and picked up the teapot, intending to show Li Tian some tea.

After receiving the square scarf handed over by Jiang Bao, Zhu Gaosui wiped away the few tears with stiff arms, only feeling his heart tremble, and he suddenly understood why the second brother wanted to usurp power.

The majesty of imperial power is really terrifying.

"En? Gao Sui, talk to me." Seeing that Zhu Gaosui's eyes were lost, Li Tian spoke again.

When he came back to his senses, Zhu Gaosui's expression froze when he heard the words "Tell the truth." After thinking about it for a while, he became puzzled.

It is obvious that everyone knows that the inner court wants to run a bank, why don't I tell the truth to my elder brother, even if my elder brother disagrees, it is better than the current appearance.

Suddenly, Zhu Gaosui felt a flash of lightning strike in his mind, tell the truth, tell the truth, what does this mean, brother, could it be that he had the opportunity to intervene in this matter?

Li Tian saw Zhu Gaosui's expression of enlightenment, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said lightly:
"Sit down and talk."

Finally sorting out the muddy thoughts in his head, Zhu Gaosui showed ecstasy, and knocked his head to the ground with a clear and crisp kowtow, holding his hands high:

"The emperor's kindness is great, and the minister will never forget it. Don't worry, the emperor, the minister will cook well"

"Stop, stop, stop, I promised you something, you can cook, sit down first and then talk."

Now that Zhu Gaosui had thought about it, he felt relieved, and he didn't mind his words being interrupted, so he folded his hands happily and sat aside.

"Brother Emperor, please speak, and my younger brother will listen attentively."

Speaking of business, Li Tian became a lot more serious, and said with a slightly stern look:

"Zhu Gaosui, tell me the truth, is there anyone in Fengbei Bank?"

Surprised by the elder brother's understanding of the bank in the city, Zhu Gaosui didn't dare to take any chances and make mistakes, so he nodded his head and said honestly:
"[-]% of the members are the king of Jin insisting on pulling his younger brother into the gang."

Although he could hear Zhu Gaosui's intention to pull Zhu Jixi into the water, Li Tian ignored it and laughed and said:
"Based on the scale of Fengbei Bank's lending, I'm afraid that you have already made a lot of money. You have a good idea. You have Zhu Jixi's position, and you want to have a hand in my side as well. .”

Zhu Gaosui smiled reluctantly when he heard the words, considering the pros and cons in his heart, he quickly bowed his hands to show his loyalty.

"Brother Huang, don't worry, my younger brother will go and get rid of the members of Fengbei Bank tomorrow."

"It's not necessary, as long as you don't make trouble, I don't have much interest in your property."

In fact, Zhu Gaosui really didn't want to give up being part of Fengbei Bank. After all, relying on Fengbei Bank, he had a million taels of silver in his account a year, so he didn't have to worry about it.

But worried that Li Tian might be probing, Zhu Gaosui gritted his teeth, and cupped his hands again:

"Brother Huang, Fengbei Bank's lending and trading business is completely devoid of conscience, causing the destruction of countless people's homes. Even if Brother Huang doesn't ask about it today, my younger brother is already ready to take action."

Li Tian likes to see the majestic and shameless people the most. Hearing this, he pursed his lips, nodded immediately and said:

"Well, tomorrow you will sell the members of Fengbei Bank, and I will take it for you."

As soon as Li Tian said these words, Zhu Gaosui's face turned red immediately, and he felt a slap on his face, but he still had to make up his mind:

"My brother obeys the order."

According to what Wang Fu said about the Qianzhuang, many ministers in the DPRK knew all about it. Zhu Gaosui was good at doing business. Li Tian knew that Zhu Gaosui was not a fool, so he stopped talking around and said directly:

"Tell me, how do you know that the Royal Bank was organized by my order?"

When Li Tian said these words, Jiang Bao and Wang Fu became interested, but they had never disclosed the details of the bank. How Wang Zhao knew, he was also very curious.

Zhu Gaosui pursed his lips when he heard the words, lowered his head slightly, and said in embarrassment:

"My younger brother is not talented, I just want to have a good relationship with the inner court after seeing Director Wang handle the matter personally."
