At this time, although the Yixing Dynasty had only a dozen prefectures under its jurisdiction, there were already more than a dozen princes and no less than a hundred princes. Although they did not have real power, they were nothing but a false reputation, but the monthly salary was not enough. When the treasury was tight, the officials had not made trouble, but these royal families had already started to make trouble.

Wu Zheng really didn't understand how these princes and princes who were wandering around and heard that Yixing had arrived empty-handedly, had accumulated such huge wealth in just two years. I think I would go to the streets to plunder every day, but I am afraid I can't get such wealth even if I can't?

Wu Zheng walked a few steps behind his hands and shouted in a deep voice: "Qi Chenghao."

"I am in a humble position."

"You bring people with Mr. Mo, and follow the list on the list, and you will be able to sneak into the clan's mansion."

"yes."

Wu Zheng turned to Mo Zhinian and said, "I'm very willing to persuade you, be polite... Don't be punished first, it's best to let them spit it out on their own initiative."

Mo Meng smiled bitterly in embarrassment: "Prince, people die for money, birds die for food... I'm afraid it's not easy."

Wu Zheng pursed his lips and said, "Please persuade me first, and I will enter the palace immediately... I will always have to say a word to your Majesty, otherwise I will bear this infamy again."

"yes."

....

The Palace of Son.

"See Your Majesty."

"Thank you for your hard work in Wu, so there is no need to be polite."

Zhu Mai looked good, and thought it was because with the signing of the treaty with the Qing court, the most urgent crisis of the Yixing Dynasty was gone, and the monarch and ministers of the court breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come here, I'll see the seat for the King of Wu."

Wu Zheng was not polite, and received a Jintang sitting opposite Zhu Meishi.

"Your Majesty, I have done something to deal with the deficit of the money house of the Ministry of Revenue. Now everything is done, and I only need the east wind... But according to my understanding, many of the people involved in the case are clan relatives, especially King Jing, King Qin and King Fu. The other clan relatives involved in the case are no less than dozens. I want to ask Your Majesty to give the decree and order them to spit out dirty silver and return it to the treasury. In this way, I will not investigate further, which can not only protect the face of the clan relatives, but also resolve the financial crisis."

Zhu Ma's face began to be serious. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Does the King of Wu have any evidence?"

"There are all the money house accounts and silver accounts. I have asked me to detain all the clans involved in the case in the clan's house. I can only ask them to spit out dirty silver if they are ordered by His Majesty."

Zhu Ma's face changed and she frowned and said, "Wu Zheng, you are too anxious to do this? You have already taken the lead before I agreed. In your eyes, isn't I just a puppet?"

Wu Zheng was stunned and hurriedly apologized: "I dare not. I am just eager to deal with all the affairs in the capital and return to Hangzhou Prefecture... Your Majesty should know that I have been leaving Hangzhou for more than a month and have accumulated a lot of common affairs, so I need to go back and deal with it."

Zhu Ma's expression calmed down a little, "Wu Zheng, I understand that you are not deliberately deceiving the emperor, but you are good at arresting clan relatives. If this is known to the government and the public, how can I convince the public?"

Wu Zheng was a little impatient. Yes, he was indeed good at this matter, but the matter was not good at this matter, but chasing the dirty.

After hearing Zhu Ma's attention and talking about it, Wu Zheng had to point it out directly and said, "Your Majesty, everyone, physical evidence, is it because Your Majesty wants to indulge the ancestral relatives in corruption?"

Zhu Mai was stunned. After a while, she sighed softly: "It's not that I want to indulge it, but you also know that I have just ascended the throne... After all, they are clan relatives. If they are too forced, how can the royal family have the face?"

Looking at the face in front of him that was plain but still beautiful but refined, Wu Zheng was speechless.

The brother and sister were really carved from the same mold, frugal and diligent, which looked very much like their father.

But is this useful? The brother and sister never understood that the demise of the Ming Dynasty did not lie in this.

"That's what your majesty mean..."

Zhu Ma said carefully: "I'd better persuade them to return the money..."

"If they refuse to obey, how can they deal with it?"

"this……."

Wu Zheng stood up and said, "One hundred thousand people were deceived, waiting for the court's strategy to deal with it?"

"this……."

"More than 100,000 soldiers and their families are waiting for the court to reward and give them to you, Your Majesty!"

"this……."

"Your Majesty thinks, which one is more important than a clan relative?"

Zhu Mai suddenly looked at Wu Zheng's eyes and said, "Wu Zheng, I beg you for something."

Wu Zheng was stunned and said, "Your Majesty just give me orders."

"In this peace talks, the Qing court will redeem four million taels of silver from the captured royal generals. You lend me first... okay?"

Wu Zheng was really stunned. He looked at Zhu Moe steadily, and he really didn't know what to say.

Zhu Ma's face turned slightly red, "Don't worry, as long as the taxes are raised next year, I will repay you as soon as possible."

But his voice was getting lower and lower. In fact, Zhu Mei knew very well that these four million taels were not decimals. With Yixingchao's tax ability at this time, it was impossible to repay it in the next year, let alone repaying a large amount of silver from the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

Wu Zheng was willing to agree that this was a fortune, and it should be used for the people's livelihood of the country and the people's livelihood.

But Wu Zheng knew better that this was not a matter of money. If he did not kill the chicken to warn the monkey, the money bank fraud case would repeat itself and become more and more serious.

The royal family of more than 100,000 people is like a group of locusts, which will chew every grain of food in Yixingchao and absorb every drop of blood in the people.

There is no way to deal with them, just like Dashun and Daxi Minjun. When they saw each royal family killing one and put them on fire to boil oil, they were too cruel. Wu Zheng knew he could not do it, so he had no better way. He could only close himself in a corner outside the Yixing Dynasty and isolate himself in order to protect himself.

Wu Zheng really didn't know how to deal with Zhu Ma's plea. Logically, he could not refuse. Yixingchao did have a share in this redemption silver. He fought together. Moreover, as an emperor, it would be even more difficult to speak to him in a low manner of negotiation.

It’s not that Wu Zheng is unwilling to give up this money, but... he really doesn’t want to!

This is not the other person, because it is obvious that he can handle the money corruption case without using this money, so he chased the dirty according to the list provided by Mo Zhinian, and it is enough to get the last merger and acquisition money needed.

"Your Majesty, I am not following the order..." Wu Zheng said quietly, "Recruiting the dirty silver that the clans have greedy and lost is not something that cannot survive. Even if they are pursued today, they still have the salary of the court every month, and they will live more prosperously than officials and the people... But if the evidence of the crime is conclusive and His Majesty has to be condoned, their greed for money will become even more rampant. Even if I fill all the four million taels of redemption money into the national treasury, I just wait for me to leave, and these silver will eventually be greedy for these people... How can Your Majesty calm the anger in the hearts of the subjects? How can you appease the anger in the hearts of the soldiers?"
