Zhu Youjian was overjoyed.

Winning consecutive battles and achieving remarkable results.

"Wang Wenzhi really showed the might of the Lone King." Zhu Youjian said with emotion and joy: "The Lone King is like an arm of this person."

Wen Tiren smiled and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness."

In fact, Wen Tiren felt something was wrong.

Of course, he didn't know what was wrong.

As the chief minister, he learned more about inside information, but still had no ability to understand it. After all, he was the Minister of Rites in the past.

What's more, Wang Wenzhi is his disciple and former official. Wang Wenzhi is able to lead the army because of his recommendation. Nowadays, there are more and more scholars and gentry coming to Guide Mansion to join, and there are many talents. Under such circumstances, Wen Tiren is under some pressure.

This pressure comes from Guide Prefecture. After all, Guide Prefecture is only a seven or eight county scale. It is not easy to place so many great scholars and gentry in such a small place.

After all, there are only so many black hats.

In the past, Wen Tiren, ministers from the Donglin Party, who were born in the Donglin Party, fought with the Zhejiang Party, the Qi Party and the Chu Party. When these were suppressed, they fought with the eunuch Party.

But here is different. There are only the Donglin Party here. The ministers and scholars of the Donglin Party are ecstatic and regard Guide Mansion as a holy place.

Then, the problem arises... Without foreign enemies, there will always be a fight, so naturally some people covet this position as the chief minister.

Now, signs of impeachment of Wen Tiren to take over power have begun, and Wen Tiren is of course not polite, so he immediately kills and grabs the other party's unfilial foot.

Although the crisis was temporarily resolved, Wen Tiren did not feel relaxed now, and it was very necessary to have a Wang Wenzhi in the army.

Wang Wenzhi was his student, and with Wang Wenzhi, his position in front of the Palace of King Xin was stable.

At this time, Wen Tiren said: "Your Highness, Wang Wenzhi said that in June, these bandits are vulnerable. If they continue to attack, they are afraid that the bandits in Henan will be suppressed in March. At that time, the Henan Provincial Administrator will be able to clear the sea and the rivers. Your Highness will make an indelible contribution."

Zhu Youjian smiled and said, "This is all your credit, but..."

He said this, and couldn't help but sigh again: "But Wang Wenzhi also reported at the same time that he added three thousand bandits this time and entered the Xinwang Guard. With the previous personnel, the Xinwang Zuo Guard alone had more than 14,000 people, all of which were elite soldiers, and nearly half of them were warriors. Therefore, I beg me to allocate money and grain to reward the soldiers."

Wen Tiren showed a sense of dismay and said, "The money and food in the treasury... have been sold out long ago."

This is the truth. After King Xin Zhu Youjian arrived here, the first thing he did was to reduce taxes.

A large number of taxes were reduced, especially in his opinion, the unreasonable commercial and mining taxes were directly abolished, which was very popular.

But the problem is that people have the right heart, but they just don’t have money.

Yes.

The treasury has long been empty.

No taxes can be collected at all.

If King Xin had not been in the capital, he had some savings, and the King Xin and his wife had pawned a lot of treasures in the royal palace, which would have been impossible to maintain.

Wen Tiren looked at Zhu Youjian and showed a helpless look.

Zhu Youjian had to sigh and said, "Now, it is hard to cook without rice in the hands of the Lone King, but... Wang Wenzhi said that Wang Zuowei is full of talents and morale is like rainbow. It is time to take this opportunity to recover the entire Henan. If there is no money or food at this time, I will be afraid that I will miss the military opportunity. Now, I need money for everything... I have saved a lot."

He pointed to the cloth clothes he was wearing and said, "The Lonely King didn't even dare to wear silk anymore. This clothes were the cotton cloth that the Lonely King bought for seventy taels of silver. It was woven by the Lonely King's beloved concubine."

Wen Tiren looked up at Zhu Youjian's cloth clothes. This cloth clothes... on the market... should be a few dozen cents... just this... cost more than seventy taels of silver?

He swallowed and subconsciously glanced at the eunuchs beside him.

Then he smiled and said, "Your Highness...if there is no money or food..."

Zhu Youjian, who had already grown a lot of white hair, showed a sad face. After pausing for a moment, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "The Lonely King cannot learn from the Emperor's Brother. The Lonely King must find a way to come out of this money and grain no matter what... At the beginning... the princess had a lot of dowry. In addition, the Lonely King also gave bad jewelry when he was married... Let's do this, the Lonely King finds a way to sell some, and then urgently allocates a batch of money and grain to send it to the army."

"Tell Wang Wenzhi that the Gu Wang will not doubt the use of people, but the suspect will not. He is the Gu Wang's confidant. Now the land of Henan is thousands of miles away, and the people are already in desperate situations. If the bandits continue to make trouble like this, if they continue to flood, not to mention that this mere Guide Mansion will be gone, even the Ming Dynasty will be gone. Now the Gu Wang wants to follow Emperor Taizu Gao, reorganize the rivers and mountains, and let him step up his troops, so that he can make trouble, and there will be no mistakes."

Wen Tiren saw that Zhu Youjian was worried, but when he was Emperor Taizu Gao, he became energetic again.

Wen Tiren couldn't help but be moved by Zhu Youjian, so she burst into tears and said, "Why can you not be as powerful as your wise ruler as your wise ruler? I will be willing to die if I can meet your wise ruler like your wise ruler."

So he choked up.

Zhu Youjian's eyes also began to burst into tears, and he said with great emotion: "You, I, the king and the minister, encourage each other, and build a new country in the future, and you will be able to shine for thousands of years."

Wen Tiren was so moved that she burst into tears again.

The king and his minister sobbed for a while, and Wen Tiren said goodbye.

Wen Tiren immediately returned to his mansion. His mansion was not far from the royal palace, and it was close to the Confucian Temple in Guide Mansion, which was a quiet place in the midst of the chaos.

The original owner here was a wealthy family, so the mansion occupied a huge area, and Wen Tiren spent a lot of money to buy it.

After entering the mansion, passing through the numerous Yimen and Yue Caves, and just entering the back house, I saw the orioles dancing here, which was very lively.

Wen Tiren then called the butler to ask: "Why is it so lively tonight?"

The housekeeper said: "When you say that, the second young master invited a opera troupe to celebrate the second young master's seventh young master's concubine. The seventh young master is weak and sick this year. After coming to Guide, he missed the plays in his hometown at home very much, saying that he could see things and think about his feelings. Therefore, two months ago, the second young master asked him to go back to his hometown in Zhejiang and invited a opera troupe. Isn't that... I'm here today, the second young master is very happy."

Wen Tiren said oh, but he didn't join in the fun. He was a minister in the court, so he could not indulge in this opera, so he walked to the back hall.

Just now, two maids with beautiful faces had already been sitting down, one poured tea for him, and the other leaned over and squatted down, taking off Wen Tiren's official boots.

Wen Tirenze drank tea while serving the maids, but frowned and was full of thoughts on government affairs.

But at this moment, the housekeeper chased after him again, holding a letter in his hand, saying, "This is a letter sent by the prince, and it was sent from the army quickly."

Wen Tiren nodded, took it, looked at it for a moment, and smiled and said, "He has put some effort into it."

The housekeeper said: "What?"

The housekeeper was also Wen Tiren's confidant. Wen Tiren did not blame the housekeeper for being troublesome, so he said, "This Wang Wenzhi is quite filial. He knew that I loved Tang Bohu's paintings. He specially collected some of them, saying that the soldiers would be sent to the escort in a few days. They were all Tang Yin's calligraphy, which was very rare. He had to worry too much."

The housekeeper praised: "I heard that the price of the ink treasures left by Tang Yin on the market is higher than that of every day. Any one is now worth hundreds of taels of silver."

Wen Tiren frowned: "What do you know? Do you only have money in your eyes?"

The housekeeper became timid and dared not say more.

At this moment, the gate of Guide Mansion was opened at night, and an urgent fast horse quickly arrived at Wen Tiren's mansion with the express newspaper.

After I was bathed, I changed into a long gown, and the quick sound was delivered to Wen Tiren.

Wen Tiren looked down at the report and was suddenly shocked.

The housekeeper who was attending the side couldn't help but say, "Master, what's wrong?"

Wen Tiren was tense and became anxious. He said, "The latest report is that a bandit was rushing towards the city... What's going on? Where did the bandits come from? They are so bold... hurry up and quickly compile the book, and immediately order the king Zuowei to return to defense."

Holding this hot report, Wen Tiren was suddenly panicked.

My family is all in Guide Mansion.

…………

On the other end, Emperor Apocalypse's imperial carriage stopped and stopped.

There is no way, there are too many people, and nearly 20,000 people follow you. It would be good to travel more than ten miles a day.

This made Emperor Tianqi a little irritable, but he had no choice but to be patient.

Since Qi County discovered the bandits, although these bandits probably saw a large number of official troops coming towards Qi County, they retreated immediately and had already run away without a trace.

But the ministers who followed him were a little panicked at this time.

More than a hundred scholars, who were killed at any time, saw the scene of corpses everywhere, and felt a little confused.

At this time, although they still felt that... King Xin might have made some mistakes, after all, the monarch of Guide Mansion is wise and the ministers are wise and the court is full of people, but occasionally one or two black sheep are not impossible.

Therefore, I tried my best to excuse King Xin.

But after all, I was unsure and tried my best to persuade Emperor Tianqi to return to Beijing.

It is very dangerous here. Your Majesty's safety is important. Let's go back to the capital first and come back to the capital after His Highness King Xin recovers the entire Henan.

Emperor Tianqi was convinced and said angrily: "Just just bandits, don't worry, with me, everyone will not die. As long as you don't learn from those damn scholars, you can always keep your heads."

As soon as these words were spoken, the officials' expressions were even worse.

But Emperor Aoki made up his mind to continue moving forward.

I've come here, and I want to teach me to go back.

Am I shameless?

Zhang Jingyi also insisted on continuing to advance. In fact, the bandits at this time have not yet become regular. Most of them are refugees who gathered to seize the swords and swords of the officials and soldiers. Many people even had just a pole in their hands. There were so many elite warrior camps and the third teaching team of the Donglin Military Academy, so they were not afraid of coming.
