After half a stick of incense, Zhu Cihong walked into the Nuan Pavilion with a smile, and saw the emperor and I quickly stepped forward to salute:

"Father, why are you calling me?"

Chongzhen pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for Zhu Cixiang to sit down, and Zhu Cixiang immediately sat down obediently.

At this time, the palace maid brought him two plates of snacks, poured him a glass of water, and then left.

"Your Majesty, my father, I want to ask you something. Has the Imperial Mansion been divided?"

Zhu Cihong was stunned. He didn't understand why the emperor asked about the imperial village again. Did he regret it?

"It has not been completely divided, and some soldiers have not yet arrived. Why did my father suddenly ask about Huangzhuang if he had heard any news?"

Hearing that Huangzhuang had not been completely divided, Chongzhen hesitated and said:

"Father, the internal funds cannot always be supported by the emperor's property. If the emperor's estate is not completely divided, can you keep some and replace it with other land? Is it okay, the emperor?"

Zhu Cixi now understood that there must be someone trying to bite the emperor and me, which made Chongzhen, who was poor and fearful, start to worry about his future livelihood problems again. He would definitely divide the emperor's estate, otherwise how could he set an example.

Zhu Cixiang stood up and slapped the emperor on his shoulders:

"Father, you don't have to worry about internal money. My sons and I can easily earn tens of millions of taels of silver by confiscating many shops and properties from officials in the capital, as well as properties worth tens of millions from the eight major Shanxi merchants.

Since the emperor wants to carry out land reform, he must lead by example, so the emperor's estate must be divided. I hope my father can understand this. Has anyone said anything to you?"

Chongzhen sighed:

"It's not that the emperor doesn't support the emperor. The emperor knows that everything you do is to save the Ming Dynasty from water and fire. Today Wang Dehua mentioned it casually, which made the emperor a little worried. Since the emperor has a way, the emperor will not force you.

…”

"Wang Dehua?"

Sure enough, someone was biting my ears, and this person was the eunuch Wang Dehua.

Wang Dehua was originally the governor of the East Factory, the Li Jian Bingbi, but after Zhu Cihong took charge of the country, he replaced him with Cao Huachun.

Why didn't Zhu Cixi use Wang Dehua? It was because this man was disloyal, greedy for life and fearful of death, and was shameless.

Historically, he and Chen Xinjia conspired to kill Xue Guoguan. At this time, Xue Guoguan was fully supporting Chongzhen in calling on officials to donate money.

When the thieves broke through the city, he took the initiative to open the Desheng Gate and led the thieves into the inner city. After Chongzhen hung himself from the southeast branch, he actually had the nerve to scold the officials for their shamelessness...

Thinking that things in history would not happen after all, if Wang Dehua did not act like a monster, Zhu Cihong would not care about it.

I didn't expect that he would show up again and try to stop Fenhuangzhuang's land. It was obvious that Wang Dehua had received huge benefits from the eunuchs in charge of the village. He was really tired of living.

The Chongzhen Palace was originally like a paper wall, and no one would know any news in the palace very quickly.

Zhu Cixi didn't even know how many eunuchs and maids had been bribed by the civil service group and nobles, so he just took the opportunity to catch them all and turn the palace into a monolith.

Seeing that Zhu Cixiang looked unhappy, Chongzhen was worried that he would take revenge on Wang Dehua. After all, Wang Dehua had followed him for many years and had not made any big mistakes, so he hurriedly said:

"Wang Dehua is not bad. He has followed his father for many years and has not made any big mistakes. The emperor must not touch him!"

"I haven't made a big mistake, and I'm telling the truth. It's just that I haven't had the chance to clean up the traitors in the palace for my father. Do you know how many officials and eunuchs of the imperial village Wang Dehua has taken in?"

I made a bet with my father. If I can’t find five hundred thousand taels of silver from Wang Dehua’s house, I will not move Wang Dehua, but I will listen to my father in everything from now on. How about that?”

"Five hundred thousand taels of silver?"

Hearing this, Chongzhen shook his head repeatedly. Even if he was killed, he would not believe that a eunuch had so much money. As for Zhu Cixiang's words that he would listen to him in everything from now on, Chongzhen simply omitted it.

Are you kidding me? The Ming Dynasty has just improved under the rule of the prince. If he has the ability, the Ming Dynasty can still fall to such a state. If Chongzhen doesn't want to take over this mess anymore, just let the prince play!

"Don't kill innocent people indiscriminately. Let's send someone to investigate for now. I really don't want a huge corrupt person to appear around me. My father is tired. Your Majesty, please go back..."

After Chongzhen finished speaking, he waved his hand to Zhu Cixiang and then closed his eyes.

Emperor Zhu Cihong was sad again. He shook his head helplessly, took out a pair of mahjong and the instruction manual and put them down, and then left Dongnuan Pavilion...

Supervisor of Ceremonies

Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen were reading the memorial when they suddenly heard footsteps. The two eunuchs looked up and saw the crown prince walking in.

Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to salute:

"See you, Master!"

Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly and raised his hands:

"The two companions are exempt from the gift. I have been very busy recently. Thank you for your hard work!"

Zhu Cixiang had no time to read the memorials sent by the cabinet one by one. The eunuchs in charge of the ceremony and eunuchs could only review them for me. Of course, they would also hand over the New Deal memorials to me.

Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen heard this and hurriedly raised their hands and said:

"Thank you for your concern, young master. This is what I should share with you. Please sit down quickly!"

The two of them thanked each other and immediately got busy. One went to pour water and the other went to find something delicious for the young master.

Zhu Cixiang sat in Cao Huachun's seat and watched the two eunuchs busy.

"Master, please have some snacks!"

"Master, please have tea!"

Zhu Cixiang nodded, reached out and picked up a piece of snack and said:

"Send someone to spread Founder's transformation!"

"Here"

Cao Huachun immediately said a few words to a young eunuch, who quickly left.

Just as Cao Huachun turned around, Zhu Cihong suddenly said:

"Two great companions, I want to know whether your family is well off. You must tell the truth!"

Before Zhu Cixi finished speaking, the two of them suddenly trembled, and the honest and loyal Wang Chengen almost sat down on the ground.

The Crown Prince specializes in ransacking homes. The nobles of the capital and the eight major Shanxi merchants have all been ransacked. Are their homes going to be ransacked today?

Don't worry if the two of you are poor, but each of them has a net worth of several hundred thousand taels.

Wang Chengen was still the most honest. When he reacted, he immediately knelt down and apologized:

"Master, I have 250,000 taels of slaves. If you need them, I can hand them over to you..."

Cao Huachun took one look at the honest Wang Chengen and immediately knelt down:

"Young Master, there are more slaves than Lao Wang in my family, please punish me..."

Before Cao Huachun finished speaking, another eunuch Fang Zhenghua entered the ceremonial department. When he saw Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen kneeling in front of the crown prince, Fang Zhenghua was startled and hurriedly knelt down behind Lao Wang.

"See you, Master!"

Zhu Cixiang looked at this loyal eunuch who was both civil and military and asked:

"Fang Zhenghua, how much money do you have?"

Fang Zhenghua instantly understood why Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen were like this. He thought for a moment and said:

"Replying to the young master, there are about fifty thousand taels of slaves!"

Zhu Cixiang nodded. He believed that these three people were telling the truth. Fang Zhenghua was more upright and should not have any means to make money.

Seeing that Wang Chengen seemed to be hesitant to speak, Zhu Cihong asked:

"Old Wang, do you have anything else to say?"

Lao Wang looked very aggrieved with tears streaming down his face:

"Young master, I have not asked anyone for money, nor have I done anything for anyone.

They sent 10,000 taels of silver and the slave didn't want it. Unexpectedly, the next day they sent another 80,000 taels, but the slave still didn't dare to accept it. On the third day, it turned out to be 100,000 taels. If he didn't accept it, he would give more and more, so the slave accepted it because he was afraid.

.

Some time ago, the emperor called for donations. The servant had already donated one hundred thousand taels, but the emperor scolded him.

I wanted to donate it all, but I was worried about making the emperor angry. I really don’t want so much money..." I like the Ming Dynasty, and the prosperous age started from the prince's prison.
