The ministers were very surprised. How did you, Lin Tailai, know about this?

Even these veterans heard about it for the first time today. They had never been to the Meridian Gate before, let alone the Five Phoenix Tower.

Eunuch No. 4 Chen Ju is even more confused. What does Shen Shoufu always think of you? Could it be that you told Lin Tailai yourself?

Emperor Wanli was also surprised and asked the eunuchs on the left and right: "Is there really such a spear in the building?"

The throne of Emperor Wanli is located in front of the Wufeng Tower. He summoned ministers in front of the building and did not enter the building.

Zhang Cheng, the palm print eunuch who had previously inspected the building, replied: "There is indeed a spear enshrined upstairs, which was passed down from Chengzu. It is said that Chengzu personally held it during the expedition."

Emperor Wanli, who was fat and had inconvenient legs and feet, was too lazy to go into the building to see for himself, so he told Zhang Cheng:

"Since ancient times, swords are given to heroes, and the same goes for spears. Go take them down and reward Lin Tailai. It is also a good story!"

Such a reward, which is extremely sacred in name but of little use in reality, can be regarded as worthy of seven battles and seven victories, and the hero who conquered the city first, and no one in the world can say otherwise!

"No!" Sange Lao Wang Jiaping blurted out a little gaffefully.

Lin Tailai already had the imperial armor. If he got another imperial spear from his ancestors, would he be able to do anything in the capital?

Facing the emperor's gaze, Wang Jiaping quickly said: "It is extremely inappropriate to hold a weapon before the emperor!"

Emperor Wanli said magnanimously: "It's okay, just get the spear and go down!"

Not long after, No. 1 Zhang Cheng and No. 2 Sun Xian came out of the building holding a rusty iron spear together and stood far away from the emperor's throne.

Lin Tailai took a few steps forward, saluted, and solemnly took the rusty iron spear.

Then Emperor Wanli said: "Lin Tailai, please go down first! I also want to talk to the cabinet ministers about the gathering of mine thieves in various places!"

Damn it! Lin Tailai ran down with the iron spear! The emperor wanted to open a mine, so he ran away!

The biggest pitfalls that have existed for tens of thousands of dynasties are not only the disputes over national origin, but mining and mining taxes are also one of them. They are all big pitfalls that cannot be thanked by either left or right.

Thinking of this, Lin Tailai suddenly felt that Wang Situ and Ding You didn't seem to be entirely bad at this time.

If the dispute over the foundation of the country is a big pitfall for the Ministry of Rites, the Minister of Rites is forced to be on the front line.

Then the mining tax and commercial tax are a big trap for the Ministry of Revenue. The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue will definitely use public opinion to oppose the emperor's direct appointment of mining supervisors to start mining and collect taxes.

If Wang Situ continues to be the Minister of Household Affairs, he is probably going to be in trouble.

As for why the emperor was thinking about mining to make money at this time, Lin Tailai could understand.

Speaking of the palace's finances, in addition to the more than one million gold and silver coins in Jiangnan every year, as well as the income from other royal estates and pastures, the simplest and most trouble-free way is to move the silver directly from the Taicang treasury to the inner treasury.

However, Taicang's treasury has been in deficit since the past two years. This year's military deployment in Ningxia cost hundreds of thousands.

Therefore, even if the emperor wanted to move the money directly from the treasury, he had no choice but to find another way.

While Lin Tailai was thinking about the treasury issue, he subconsciously wanted to stay away from the Meridian Gate quickly to avoid being called up to discuss the "gathering of mine thieves" issue again.

So Lin Tailai subconsciously ran all the way from the Meridian Gate to the Zuoye Gate.

So the courtiers who were still lingering under the Meridian Gate and waiting to eat the melon saw from a distance that Lin Tailai rushed out from the Zuoye Gate holding a spear that was dark red in color and seemed to be stained with blood.

.

Reminiscent of Lin Tailai's illustrious martial arts on the streets of the capital, and the rumors of a fight in the palace, the more than a hundred ministers who stayed here exploded on the spot and turned around to move to Duanmen.

Did Lin Tailai kill all the way down from the Meridian Gate? What happened at the Meridian Gate? Why didn't other ministers come down?

The Jinyiwei officers on duty here at the Meridian Gate drew their swords one after another and shouted quickly: "Put down the weapon!"

The Imperial Guards also raised their weapons and were on high alert.

Lin Tailai was stunned, then raised his spear and said loudly: "This is the spear of Emperor Chengzu, enshrined in Wufeng Tower, and was given to me by His Majesty!"

In addition, His Majesty also has a decree for the eight people who were previously nominated to come out!"

The crowd that had stopped moving was in chaos again, and some people's legs were so weak that they couldn't stand.

Lin Tailai came to announce the decree with an imperial-given iron spear in hand. What did this mean? In retaliation for the decree, did he stab the person whose name was called to death on the spot?
