Chapter 357: Sword unsheathed~)
King Lu's cough was as thunderous as the quiet chamber.
Almost all the princes opened their eyes and looked up at him, including the King Ping, with curiosity on their faces.
King Lu's entry into Beijing is different from them. They came to Beijing to participate in the New Emperor's Ascension Ceremony. They pointed out that they were deceived into Beijing by Zhu Xu. King Lu said he did not come to the capital because he was sick and was finally "catching" back. Therefore, his status was particularly embarrassing.
His cough also had an unusual meaning.
When Zhu Changqing saw all the kings looking over, he twitched unconsciously, and still said with a tweak, "I heard that the treasury is empty now."
When King Ping heard King Lu's stupid words, he was stunned at first, then immediately reacted and smiled at King Heng: "The court has always been eating food for the Yin Dynasty, so it's not our fault."
King Heng smiled reluctantly on the surface. With his foundation, he really didn't care about the 10,000-stone salary of the court.
Naturally, the other princes still had a lot of food and private property in their hands, and the court's salary was not taken seriously.
Seeing that the kings did not understand what he meant, Zhu Changqing lowered his head slightly and said, "I mean, why don't we donate some food and private property to the court..."
When Zhu Changqing said this, he felt countless sharp swords stabbing on his face, making it impossible for him to continue speaking, but the meaning was already very obvious, so he didn't continue to say it, just stammering his neck and not moving.
When the kings heard Zhu Changqing's words, their faces were cold and their eyes were like swords. The part they handed over last time was all handed over, and they were reluctant to hand them over. Now that King Lu said it on such an occasion, they had to express something, otherwise the meeting minutes would be sent to Wen Zhao Pavilion, Si Lijian, how should the emperor and King Xin view them? Do you still want to live a stable life in this capital?
Blocking people's way of wealth is like killing parents, let alone robbery with righteous words!
After seeing King Lu say it, King Ping blinked, looking quite curious. He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he couldn't help but look at King Jin and King Lu.
These two people are in the same mood as him, they are the first to "suburn" to Zhu Xu, and they are also the ones who helped him control the Governor Yuan.
King Jin and King Lu were both active-minded people. They hadn't cared about it before. When they saw the look of King Ping's eyes, they were shocked and sat straight.
They knew who Lu Wang was, but they were just a little brat who had not grown up. How could he say such things on such occasions for no reason? The most important thing is that they all knew that the emperor went to the Ten Princes' Mansion yesterday!
The Ten Kings Mansion lives in the Lu family now!
King Jin and King Lu looked at each other and suddenly realized: This is what the emperor means!
The emperor was not satisfied with the food and private property handed over by the kings, but he was too uncompromising before. After this period of easing, he made a comeback again!
Both of them looked at King Ping, and King Lu also coughed first.
His cough scared the kings who were still frightened and angry, and they all changed their eyes to look at King Lu.
King Lu cleared his throat and said with a smile: "The whole Ming Dynasty wants to say who has spare money and food, that is, we, so I... I will donate another 5,000 hectares of food and 30,000 taels of silver to the court to alleviate the emptiness of the treasury."
The faces of the kings were as dark as wax, and they almost ignited.
When King Lu said that, they could find a way to deal with it, but King Lu directly shouted "Five thousand hectares of food and 30,000 taels of silver." How else would they deal with it?
Before the kings could react, the King of Jin also spoke: "I still have 8,000 acres of food and 10,000 taels of silver. This time I donated them all. I have the salary of the court, so it is useless to keep these..."
"What, donated?"
Finally someone couldn't help but exclaimed.
When he spoke, the other princes could not bear it and complained one after another.
"All donations have them. There are hundreds of people in our Hui Palace, and that little salary is not enough..."
"You have only been in the vassal period. There are tens of thousands of people in our King Jing Mansion. Which one does it cost to get a fortune in weddings and funerals..."
"Yes, our Zheng Prince's Mansion is moving together. When we come to the capital, we have to buy yards and slaves. How can we live if we donate them?"
"No, absolutely not..."
In the conference hall, more than thirty princes whispered to each other, and complained one after another.
King Ping was stunned before, and was even more stunned when he heard what King Jin and King Lu said. The property of King Lu and King Jin had long been confiscated. Where did so much food and money come from?
Looking at King Lu, who lowered his head and stopped talking, King Ping suddenly woke up. He looked at the noisy kings and waved his hand with a smile: "Everyone, don't worry, don't worry, we are all the princes of the Ming Dynasty. Donate some if you have free time, and forget about what you don't have..."
The princes were very angry and uncomfortable. Who knew that the words of King Jin and King Lu were not their "spoken words". It was clearly the court was going to "rob" them again!
It’s unbearable to be tolerated again and again!
The princes had their faces turned pale and didn't say anything. Their eyes were constantly intertwined, and all kinds of thoughts flashed in their hearts at the same time.
King Ping did not receive Zhu Xu's instructions in advance, and was not sure. He hurriedly said a few more words, then ended the meeting, left Wucheng Pavilion and went straight to Jingyang Palace, but Zhu Xu was not in the palace.
At the same time, Luo/Yang.
Wei Zhongxian was sitting in the secret base of the East Factory, flipping through books of account books.
Wei Zhao and others stood in front of him, all with a cold face with an unhidden smile.
King Fu Zhu Changxun was extraordinary. He was the third son of Emperor Wanli. He was favored far more than Emperor Guangzong, that is, Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Xu and his father. The movement that Concubine Zheng made in order to make King Fu the crown prince was so vigorous that it caused a fierce backlash from the foreign court, which was the so-called "national foundation dispute". In the end, the foreign court performed too resolutely, and even the entire Ming official group was involved. In the end, Wanli had to give in and named the third son Zhu Changxun the Fu king, indicating that he had no position as the crown prince, which calmed down the "national foundation dispute" that swept the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Changxun did not become a vassal until his later years in Wanli. The reward was even greater than that of King Lu of Wanli's younger brother, who was the younger brother of Wanli. Not only did he eat 40,000 hectares of food, he only attracted thousands of salt, and not a year, but he had it all. It was not until Zhu Xu changed the salt administration and abolished the salt, and this income was lost.
But over the years, the private property of the Fuwang Mansion has expanded rapidly. In addition, the Fuwang indulged in wine and sex, and was in power and blessing in Luoyang. No one could control it. He was attracted by the flames and power. The continuous delivery of things to the Fuwang Mansion has also accelerated the expansion of the Fuwang Mansion.
Therefore, if you sort it among the royal family and vassal kings, the blessing king is enough to rank first!
If you really attack him, it would be a big shocking thing!
Not only Wei Zhao, Hou Guoxing and others were excited, but also the Dongchang men not far away were also excited.
