Prince of Chaos

Chapter 148

Zhu Changluo is no longer conspicuous in front of Emperor Wanli, so let Emperor Wanli consider such matters.

We can see whether the hatred in Emperor Wanli's heart is greater or the temptation of gold is greater.

The most important thing for Zhu Changluo now is to hit Sun Xian, otherwise this fat man would not know the heights of heaven and earth.

Always doing tricks behind his back, Zhu Changluo hated such a double-faced person.

After returning to Ciqing Palace, Zhu Changluo immediately summoned Sun Xian with the right of an imperial envoy to thoroughly investigate mining tax corruption.

Sun Xian, who was still tremblingly waiting in the East Factory, heard that it was Zhu Changluo's imperial envoy. Sun Xian suddenly felt that he was saved, and his spring was coming.

Sun Xian immediately trotted all the way to Ciqing Palace.

After seeing Zhu Changluo, Sun Xian immediately released his grievances.

Kneeling on the ground, he cried to Zhu Changluo, "Prince, you know everything. You understand this servant. Even if this servant has a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to embezzle the emperor's mining tax!"

Zhu Changluo looked at Sun Xian, who was crying sadly, and Zhu Changluo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Eunuch Sun. With my palace here, no one will wrong you. I called you here today to inform you that you will first hand over the position of Admiral of the East Factory to you." Chen Ju. Then, I sent a few more accountants to Dongchang to check the accounts of the mining tax that you collected on behalf of your father. After the investigation, I will naturally clear you up."

After listening to Zhu Changluo's words, Sun Xian suddenly felt a thunderbolt from the blue sky!
If his position as the admiral of the East Factory is gone, he will be a street mouse that everyone hits.This fate can be terrible!

Sun Xian's startled voice changed. He kowtowed again and again, and said to Zhu Changluo, "Help me, my lord! Help me, my lord! This servant has always been loyal to you, and I dare not hide anything. This servant really did not embezzle the emperor." Lord's mining tax!"

Zhu Changluo said: "Since there is no one, it would be even better. I can't bear the heart of a loyal minister like Eunuch Sun being framed by foreign ministers. However, for the sake of Eunuch Sun's innocence, I can only wrong Eunuch Sun for two days."

Sun Xian was still terrified, he kowtowed non-stop, he said: "Prince and master, the account of Dongchang can't be checked!"

Zhu Changluo became curious when he heard Sun Xian pleading that the East Factory's account could not be checked.

Zhu Changluo said: "Why can't we find out?"

Zhu Changluo looked at Sun Xian with calm eyes, and Sun Xian finally said helplessly: "Master, Dongchang's account is not only Dongchang's, but also the emperor's. If this is investigated, there will be big troubles. "

After Zhu Changluo listened to Sun Xian's words, Zhu Changluo's heart skipped a beat. Why is the account of Dongchang related to Emperor Wanli?Zhu Changluo felt that this was not very good news.

Zhu Changluo's complexion changed, and he snorted: "You bastard! You dare to bite the emperor! I think you are impatient."

Sun Siam shrank his neck in fright, and Sun Siam couldn't hide it anymore when it got to this point, Sun Xian could only say the reason for it.

Sun Xian said: "The crown prince is not a slave who is biting the emperor, but Dongchang's account is really untouchable. Apart from being the emperor's eyes and ears, Dongchang is also helping the emperor in business. This cannot be said. Yes!"

Zhu Changluo heard what Sun Xian said, and Zhu Changluo continued to ask: "Business? Do you think I am a three-year-old child? Father is rich all over the world, so is it necessary to do business? What kind of business can he do?"

Sun Xian looked at Zhu Changluo imploringly, and at the little eunuch who was waiting beside Zhu Changluo. Obviously, what he was going to say next should not be known.

Zhu Changluo understood what Sun Xian meant, and Zhu Changluo said to the eunuch beside him, "You go down first."

The little eunuchs immediately left the Ciqing palace, and then closed the palace door tightly.

Zhu Changluo looked at Sun Siam and asked, "Tell me."

Sun Siam shrank his head, and finally whispered two words: "Go to sea."

After Zhu Changluo heard the word "go to sea", his head felt as if he had received a heavy blow!
what?
Emperor Wanli secretly used Dongchang to go overseas to do business?

Are you sure you are not lying to me?
Zhu Changluo didn't expect to be such a shocking big melon!
God!The Ming Dynasty was the generation that banned the sea!

After Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, issued a decree to ban the sea, only Emperor Yongle and the previous Emperor Longqing passed through the sea. The rest of the emperors did not go to the sea.

Now, Sun Xian actually said that Dongchang was helping Emperor Wanli go to sea to do business, this is not a joke.

If this matter is confirmed, if the officials of the outer dynasty know about it, then it will be fried directly!

Zhu Changluo also felt that this was a bit unexpected, Zhu Changluo asked: "Is what you said true?"

Sun Xian immediately knelt on the ground and swore: "Everything I said is true, if there is even a little bit of falsehood, there will be a thunderbolt!"

Zhu Changluo said: "Okay, I know. I will verify this matter with my father, but the matter of mining tax should be investigated."

When Sun Xian heard Zhu Changluo's tone softened, his heart finally settled down a lot.

But Zhu Changluo didn't intend to just let Sun Xian go like this. After all, this bastard was really abominable. He always acted as a double-faced person, and now he sold the old background of Emperor Wanli in front of him.

This behavior is really abhorrent!Therefore, he must be beaten hard to let him have a long memory!
Zhu Changluo said: "East Factory's accounts don't need to be checked, but I will interrogate the person in charge of the mining tax. You go back and prepare. I don't want anyone to commit suicide in fear of crime at this time. If there is one, you should immediately go down to accompany him, you know?" ?”

Sun Xian quickly kowtowed and said, "I remember it, I remember it."

Zhu Changluo looked at Sun Xian and said, "Okay, you go back first."

After Sun Xian left, Zhu Changluo sat alone in the Ciqing Palace in a daze.

Because what Sun Xian told him was so exciting, it completely exceeded his expectations.

Emperor Wanli also went into the sea?What an international joke!

In fact, Emperor Wanli had been fascinated by the benefits brought by the ocean since he was a child.

When Gao Gong opened the sea, Emperor Wanli was still a few years old.However, Emperor Wanli still felt deeply about the benefits brought by the opening of the sea at that time.

His father, Emperor Longqing, was a model of not falling in love with court just like him.However, when his father was in power, he didn't have to worry about expenses, and the revenue of the treasury also rose unprecedentedly due to the benefits of opening up the sea.

Later, after the death of his father, Gao Gong was dismissed from his position as the chief assistant of the cabinet because of his contempt for the new monarch, and sent him home.

The career of Kaihai has just come to an end.

Although Haicheng County in Fujian can continue to go to sea, the scale of going to sea is forever locked in the sea port of Haicheng County.

This also indirectly led to the sea port in Haicheng County gradually becoming a sharp weapon for the big landlords and big merchants to monopolize the ocean trade.

The benefits it produces have nothing to do with the imperial court or the royal family.

Therefore, when Emperor Wanli was worried about money, he naturally thought of the port in Haicheng County during the Longqing period. Unfortunately, Emperor Wanli could not get this port back.

Therefore, Emperor Wanli could only play a compromise routine. He used Dongchang to go to sea to help him earn money, so that he could maintain some expenses in the palace. Otherwise, he would rely on imperial appropriation and forced mining Taxes, how much money can Emperor Wanli get?
