Chapter 78 I Will Not Trial Cases

Zhang Heming frowned and suddenly said, "Your Highness, everyone is waiting now. When will you wait for your Highness?"

Zhu Xu looked at Zhang Heming, and this sentence seemed to be the chief judge, not the prisoner.

Zhu Xu was not a vegetarian, so he opened his eyes immediately, looked at him, and slowly turned his head to look at Liao Tianyong.

Liao Tianyong was already uneasy. He didn't know what the Prince Hui did outside, but at this moment he had to bite the bullet and say to Zhang Heming: "Why can you roar in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice? Wait!"

Zhang Heming felt even more uneasy when he saw Zhu Xu doing this. But he was just uneasy. He didn't think Zhu Xu could do anything to him.

He had been in the court for decades and had already figured it out. If it was a minor crime, a group of people would want to step on him to death, but if it was a major crime, a large group of people would protect him! According to his prediction, at most he would be demoted and released from office, and there would be no danger.

Not long after, Cao Wenzhao hurriedly ran in.

"Say it later."

When Zhu Xu saw it, he stood up and walked towards the side door.

Liao Tianyong and others wanted to stop and ask, but there was no reason, so they could only be anxious.

Zhang Guoji looked worried, and he pondered, and followed him into the side door.

"Your Highness, all sealed off."

Cao Wenzhao followed Zhu Xu and said excitedly.

Zhu Xu couldn't help but stood up and asked, "Tell me about the situation."

Cao Wenzhao paused and organized a speech: "Except for the Ministry of War, the account books of each government office were collected. After a rough calculation, it exceeded 50 million taels."

Zhu Xu immediately raised his eyebrows. This was a rough calculation. In addition, the private collections of various yamen, small treasuries and yamen soldiers were larger than he expected!

"The capital is indeed prosperous."

Zhu Xu's mouth curled slightly and sighed with a smile. At this time, the most prosperous place was not the capital, but the south of the Yangtze River. The north was barren and wet, and the threat of war was far less prosperous and prosperous than the Jiangnan that had been pacified for hundreds of years.

He couldn't help but wonder how much "tax" would be if he had copied Nan and Beijing once.

Zhang Guoji walked in from outside and listened to the conversation between Cao Wenzhao and Zhu Xu, his face was not very good-looking. Although he did not comply with the government, he also knew clearly that the annual tax of the Ming Dynasty was only 2.5 million taels!

Fifty million taels, two and five million taels, what a irony!

Zhu Xu looked at Zhang Guoji, but did not mean to avoid him, and said, "Now you have to seize the time and don't let them react. You can gather people and transport all your property to the palace, and move quickly!"

These Zhu Xu had already given orders before, and Cao Wenzhao nodded without hesitation and said, "It's Your Highness!"

After Cao Wenzhao left, Zhang Guoji finally woke up and looked at Zhu Xu with a drastic change in his face and said, "Your Highness, have you really copied all the six ministries?"

Zhu Xu blinked his big eyes and said with an innocent look: "Duke, you all look at me. I don't know how to try the case. I have always done it according to the instructions of the Ministry of Justice."

Zhang Guoji was not deceived by Zhu Xu. He was heartbroken and thoughtfully advised, "Your Highness, stop quickly, you are going to break the sky. This is not a simple matter of the Six Departments..."

Zhu Xu naturally knew that the Ming Dynasty's roots had long been broken and there was no so-called honest official. With a mixed connection, even if he could move a yamen, he could alarm the entire court. Moreover, he was almost attacking the adults in the entire court all at once.

Zhu Xu nodded repeatedly and said, "Yeah, okay."

When Zhang Guoji saw him, his old faces were entangled and said, "Your Highness, now is not the time to make a fuss. The emperor did not deal with you yesterday because the emperor didn't want to. If he continues like this today, even if he doesn't want to, he will not be able to do so..."

Zhu Xu reached out and wanted to pat Zhang Guoji on the shoulder. Then he found that it was not high enough, so he coughed low and said, "Don't worry, I am a good person." After that, he walked out with his hands on his back.

Zhang Guoji wanted to persuade him again, but there was no chance. He sighed in his heart and didn't have to inform the queen. She probably already knew about it now.

At this moment, Emperor Tianqi looked at Liu Shimin in front of him with some surprise and said, "You mean, the six ministers and nine ministers, the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, have most of them come?"

"It's the emperor," Liu Shimin bowed and said, "The six ministers, ministers, Shuntian Mansion, Dali Temple and other adults have almost all come and are waiting to see them outside the palace."

Zhu Youxiao's expression changed slightly, and then he said in a deep voice: "What happened?"

Liu Shimin said, "Report to the emperor, Your Highness Hui has searched the treasury of six ministries, Dali Temple, Shuntian Prefecture and other yamen."

Zhu Youxiao was really shocked this time. He looked at Liu Shimin and said, "Do you say it again?"

Liu Shimin bowed more and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, has searched most of the yamen in the capital and transported the property they have obtained to the palace."

Zhu Youxiao's face changed, and his fingers unconsciously tapped the table, but soon realized that this was Zhu Xu's habitual movement. His eyes sterned and said, "Just say I'm still sick, no one will see me."

Liu Shimin hesitated for a moment and said, "It's the Emperor."

Outside Jingyang Palace, a group of people walked around anxiously, looking inside from time to time, sighing regretfully while being impatient.

His Highness Hui has searched this time, which is tens of millions of taels!

Not to mention so much money loss, they also have to worry about the trouble caused by this matter. After all, they agreed to report five million taels, and the gap was not a small part, and the emperor would definitely not spare them easily.

Of course, the most important thing is that they believe that His Highness Hui’s actions are fundamentally affecting the court and must not be able to do so. For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, even if they are advised to death, they should dissuade the emperor and severely punish King Hui!

Not long after, when the Sixth Ministry of Justice had no time to stop it, carriages transported more and more property into the palace, and naturally it soon reached Zhu Youxiao's ears.

"How many did you say? Fifty million taels!"

Zhu Youxiao stood up from behind the imperial table, walked to Liu Shimin, and said loudly.

Liu Shimin also moved his face, but he still bent and said, "It's the Emperor!"

"Haha, 50 million taels!" Zhu Youxiao smiled on his face, as if he was burning with a fiery aura before the volcano erupted, and kept smiling: "Fifty million taels are equivalent to the taxes I had in the 20th year of the Ming Dynasty, how dare they!"

Zhu Youxiao said it at the end and screamed from the bottom.

He couldn't help but be angry. The Ming Dynasty has been extremely hard in the past ten years. Natural disasters have been going on every year, and wars have been going on. But the less taxes are added to the national treasury, the less they have joined the treasury. Now he understands that the big head has been swallowed up by these loyal court officials who are loyal and serve the country and the people!

Zhu Youxiao walked around in front of Liu Shimin. He wanted to kill these people in his heart, but he knew that he could not. He knew that the law did not blame the public. What's more, these people held the rights of the whole world. Once they were caused to rebound, they would easily shake the foundation of the country!

"Be cautious, be cautious!"

Zhu Youxiao muttered to himself, thinking constantly.

Suddenly, he calmed down. He seemed to be the one who stood on the moral high ground in this matter!

When Zhu Youxiao thought of this, he felt relaxed and walked back to the dragon throne, and he became very concerned about it.

After a long time, he suddenly looked at Liu Shimin and asked, "What do you think of His Highness Hui?"

I have a cold and have a severe headache. I try my best to catch up with Chapter 2.
Chapter completed!
