Chapter 511 What is the purpose of Emperor Mingkang's astonishment?
"Your Majesty, there is a secret report!"
Dai Quan hurriedly walked in from the outside of Daming Palace with small steps.
When Emperor Mingkang heard Dai Quan's words, he didn't seem to hear him. He didn't raise his head to look at him until he finished approving the memorial on the case.
"Tell me! What is it?"
Dai Quan cupped his hands and spoke respectfully.
"Qi report to the emperor, Chunhualou, Wu Zongshan, and Shui Rong's sons who tied up Xue Pan of the Xue family. The Rongguo government sent someone to Shuntian Mansion to report the case. The governor was not sure how to deal with this matter, so he went Send someone to send it over quickly, and ask the emperor to show me!"
Emperor Mingkang snorted when he heard this.
"This group of bastards, they don't learn well all day long, they spend all their time in the Goulan Washer, and now they kidnap people. Does this mean that they don't take me and the court seriously??"
Emperor Mingkang's tone was serious, but then his brows could not help but wrinkled again.
"Who is Xue Pan? Why is the Rongguo government involved in this matter again?"
As the lord of a country, he has a lot of things to do every day, and he doesn't have time to memorize the name of a small character, so he has no memory of who Xue Pan is.
Think about it, Emperor Mingkang had dealt with the other party before, but now he has no impression at all.
Emperor Kang of the Ming Dynasty could forget it, but Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the Daming Palace, could not.
Hearing Emperor Mingkang's question, Dai Quan organized his language, and said again: "Back to the emperor, Xue Pan is the son of the Xue family. The ancestor of the Xue family led the scattered officials of Ziwei Sheren. Later, he was with the Wang family, the Jia family, The three families of historians got married, Jia Rong and Xue Pan of the Jia family committed crimes and were dealt with last time, if not for the kindness of the emperor, these two blind people might spend the New Year in the sky prison!"
In just three or two sentences, Dai Quan listed Xue Pan's important information, and partially explained the relationship between the Xue family and the Jia family, Wang family, and historians.
Hearing this, Emperor Mingkang already had a general understanding.
As for the things to be dealt with, Emperor Mingkang mostly didn't take it to heart, there were too many people dealt with by him, could he still write them down one by one?
"Why did those little bastards tie up Xue Pan??"
Emperor Ming Kang was also polite, saying that Wu Zongshan and the others were little bastards.
Dai Quan couldn't figure out the problem, and the governor didn't say the specific reason, because they didn't know, but Emperor Mingkang asked him, and he couldn't help it.
So after thinking about it, he continued: "Going back to the emperor, I heard that the princes are short of money, and they want to ask the Xue family for money!"
Emperor Mingkang was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't quite believe it, so he couldn't help raising his head to look at Dai Quan again.
"Want money??"
Regarding this answer, Emperor Mingkang's expression was as strange as it could be. Who are the ones who are short of money? ?
"The Xue family is very rich? How is it compared to the Zhen family in Jiangnan?"
After a while, Emperor Mingkang asked suddenly.
But this time, the question was not whether Dai Quan made a mistake, but such a strange question.
Dai Quan thought about it, but he wasn't sure.
He had dealt with the Xue family before, and he didn't know exactly how much the Xue family had. However, if compared with the Zhen family, it would be insignificant. The Zhen family is an incomparably rich existence in Jiangnan.
No matter how rich the Xue family is, it is absolutely impossible to compare with the Zhen family.
"Back to the emperor, how can the Xue family be compared with the Zhen family! In this generation, the Xue family has actually declined, and the only male in the family is Xue Pan, and he is an idler. Even the Xue family still has some money, presumably. It won't last long either."
Emperor Ming Kang nodded when he heard Dai Quan's words.
Then he asked casually: "How much money did those people ask for in charge of the Xue family?"
Dai Quan didn't dare to hide anything, so he told the truth.
"10 taels!"
"How many??"
Emperor Mingkang was really stunned this time, good guy, this opening is 10 taels, which is more grand than the imperial court. He has a memorial here, about the Ministry of Industry, saying that he wants to build a mausoleum for Emperor Taikang, Funding from the Ministry of Households is required, and the first phase requires 5 taels of silver.
The Ministry of Households was in a daze and refused to give it, and for this reason, it even made a fuss with me, and made a small report at the memorial!
Now is the time when the imperial court is in trouble, let alone 10 taels, let alone 3 taels, 2 taels, he doesn't dislike it.
"Dai Quan, didn't you say that the Xue family is not as good as the Zhen family? It costs 10 taels to tie someone up??"
When Dai Quan heard Ming Kangdi's words, he couldn't help being shocked.
At this time, he suddenly remembered that the current situation in the court is difficult, and Emperor Mingkang is worrying about the state treasury these days!
In fact, the Xue family is not as good as the Zhen family. Back then, Lin Ruhai led people to raid the Zhen family, and the money even exceeded tens of millions.Isn't the Xue family's [-] to [-] people just underappreciated?
However, at this time and at that time, the Zhen family has collapsed, and the troops have been mobilized for disaster relief year after year, spending money like running water, and there is no time to replenish the treasury, and now it is unsustainable.
That's why the Ministry of Household Affairs came up with the bad idea of temporarily withholding the money for the construction of the mausoleum.
"Your Majesty, why don't we pick everyone up??"
After hesitating for a moment, Dai Quan spoke again.
Emperor Ming Kang narrowed his eyes when he heard Dai Quan's suggestion.
These people have long hands!Once he imprisoned them, the forces behind them would definitely move around. According to his own estimation, if things really went as he expected, this item alone would probably bring in several 10 taels of income.
However, this matter is somewhat unrealistic.
Besides, such a thing cannot set a precedent.After thinking about it, Emperor Mingkang suppressed this tempting idea.
And he also began to think about the real intention of Wu Zongshan's move.
Whether those people lack money or not, he knows in his heart, they must be lacking, just like now, even he is short of money, there are too many things that need to be done up and down in Dakang Dynasty, such as disaster relief, counter-insurgency, farming, Everything has to be done in silver.
But this silver is not a small amount, nor is it a big hole that can be plugged by a mere 10 taels. The four vassal kings are probably the same, and they encountered no less difficulties than himself, so he guessed that it was not these people who asked for money. true intentions.
If there is anything in the Jia family that is worthy of their covetousness, after thinking about it, there is nothing. Moreover, the Xue family, the Jia family, the Wang family, and the Shi family are all in the same spirit, offending four powerful families at once. The little bastard should not be so foolish.
Going a step further, Ming Kangdi thought of Lin Ruhai again. Now that Lin Ruhai has returned to the cabinet minister, his power status is not the same as before. If he wants to take the opportunity to win him over, it seems to be a good thing.
But there is another problem, Lin Ruhai is his confidant, this matter is well known in the civil and military courts, if these people have not been kicked by the donkey, they should not foolishly try to win over such a person.
