King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 65 Give the world an explanation

[Some readers said that the connection with the plot of the Red Mansion is relatively low. The main reason is that the protagonist is still in Jinling, and all these things will unfold after returning. Don’t worry! 】

After patting the table and scolding, Zhu Yunsheng, who was drinking soup, cried "Wow".

Yang Qingyin quickly comforted him, and then glared at Zhu Xianming.

"Zhu, what do you mean?"

Zhu Xianming's eyes were also breathing fire, staring straight at the report on the table, the last paragraph made him furious.

"You bastard, the thirteenth, do you know what he did to make the fourth?"

At this moment, Zhu Xianming seemed to be more uncomfortable than his dead father, which made Yang Qingyin suspect that the two brothers made some big mistakes.

Reassuring her daughter not to cry, Yang Qingyin asked, "What's the matter?"

"The thirteenth old man pushed the fourth child to save the money and food that the Jinling government was short of. That's millions of taels of silver..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Xianming became more and more sad and indignant.

"My money..."

These three words were yelled by Zhu Xianming, which made Yang Qingyin's ears hurt.

Right now, the imperial court is short of money everywhere. In order to maintain the court's operation and the military supplies ahead, Zhu Xianming was so anxious that he lost his hair.

Fortunately for Zhu Jinghong, millions of dollars in money and food would be waived. How could Zhu Xianming not be pissed to death by such a profligate prodigal?

"come..."

Cheng Ying came to the front in a hurry, and faced the furious emperor, she knocked her head to the ground.

"The slave is..."

Standing straight up, Zhu Xianming bent down and pointed at Cheng Ying, angrily said: "Send Jin Yiwei to bring back that little bastard, Old Thirteen, I'm going to beat this bastard to death!"

Seeing that Zhu Xianming was going to teach his youngest son a lesson, Yang Qingyin immediately became unhappy, and scolded on the spot: "Wait a minute..."

"Hurry up!" Zhu Xianming's tone became more and more severe.

Sandwiched in the middle, Cheng Ying only felt extremely tormented, at this moment, he would either leave or stay.

Everyone envied him as the general manager of the Qing Palace, and felt that he was always serving the emperor, and the prosperity of the holy family could not be increased.

But only he understands what it means to be with a king like a tiger, and what is meant by thunder, rain and dew are all God's grace.

"The old thirteen is really stubborn, but the fourth is always cautious and prudent. Since he agreed to this matter, there must be a reason for it!"

What the old thirteen is, of course Yang Qingyin, as the mother-in-law, knows well, so she brought the topic to the prince.

The prince has always been cautious, and Yang Qingyin thought it must be reasonable for him to make such a choice.

Seeing that the emperor was temporarily stabilized by herself, Yang Qingyin said to Cheng Ying: "You go out first!"

Glancing at the emperor, seeing that he was noncommittal, Cheng Ying carefully backed out.

"Bring me the report and show it to me!"

"Take it yourself!" Zhu Xianming turned around.

Yang Qingyin had no choice but to get up, picked up the report and read it in detail.

Before seeing the end, Yang Qingyin was really shocked.

Originally, she thought that her youngest son was just stubborn and didn't like reading, but she didn't know that this little bastard was so bold.

Seeing that he even dared to use Taizu's mausoleum, Yang Qingyin's jaw dropped in shock, and she secretly thought that this kid really deserved to be beaten.

Of course, Yang Qingyin could clearly see that through these "unconventional" means, the prince's errands had really improved.

In this way, it is beneficial to let the old thirteen go to Jinling.

After carefully reading the report, Yang Qingyin put it on the table, and asked calmly: "I don't know how many officials are involved in the more than 100 million silver that you said, I'm afraid I let you collect it... It's not likely to collect it! "

"I'll take it, who dare not give it!" Zhu Xianming turned his head, his face still ashen.

Yang Qingyin was still calm: "If you insist on collecting it...Of course you can collect it, but I don't know how many anti-people will be provoked, and whether the money collected will be enough to calm the chaos!"

Of course Zhu Xianming understands this truth, so after all these years, he didn't go into the bad debts of the provinces, just because he didn't want to let the people suffer again.

But like Zhu Jinghong, directly exempting Jinling from the deficit is something that Zhu Xianming absolutely cannot let go.

If the punishment is not severe, other provinces will also take chances, I am afraid that there will be a bigger deficit in the future.

"Avoiding deficits, wouldn't you condone corruption? You have nothing to say about that!"

This really left Yang Qingyin speechless, she could still distinguish state affairs and family affairs clearly.

"Could it be that you really want to beat him to death? Otherwise, beat me to death first!" Yang Qingyin said coldly.

Zhu Xianming didn't give in at all: "Just let it go... If you don't punish severely today, there may be big troubles in the future, and then he will really have to die!"

"Then how do you severely punish?" Yang Qingyin asked.

"At least... you have to hit him dozens of times!"

As for Old Shisan's rough-skinned and thick-skinned body, it doesn't matter if it's a bit of a board... Yang Qingyin secretly thought.

"come..."

Just as she was out of breath, she hadn't recovered yet, when she heard the call, Cheng Ying entered the hall again.

Seeing that he had made sense of his old wife, Zhu Xianming immediately became hot with iron: "Go and spread the word to Beizhen Fusi, and send someone to Jinling to bring old Shisan back!"

"Wait a minute..."

These two words of Yang Qingyin made Cheng Ying's heart tense again, crying in her heart why she was so difficult.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Xianming said angrily.

"The fourth child is struggling in Jinling, but the thirteenth man is doing well, what are you doing bringing him back?"

"What do you mean?" Zhu Xianming asked again with a cold face.

Yang Qingyin said in a deep voice: "If you want to beat or scold me, I won't stop you, but since Old Thirteen can help, don't call him back to Beijing!"

"If his two brothers work together to take care of the situation in Jinling, it will also save you worry!"

These words seem to be reasonable, under the balance of the two, only Zhu Xianming said coldly: "Hmph... a loving mother is a loser!"

Immediately, he looked at Cheng Ying at the side, and scolded, "What are you still doing here? Hurry up and deliver the decree!"

Cheng Ying doesn't complain, whether this will bring people back or not, your boss has to tell me clearly before I can pass the decree.

"Let Jinyiwei send people to Jinling, and Dongchang also send people to supervise...the old thirteen sticks should be punished five..."

Seeing Yang Qingyin's unkind expression, Zhu Xianming immediately said, "Thirty big blame!"

"Yes... this servant is going to deliver the decree!" After saluting, Cheng Ying left in a hurry, fearing that she would be called back again.

"If you hit the old thirteen, you have given an explanation to the people of the world!"

Zhu Xianming said in a deep voice: "The matter is never over. In two days there will be a court meeting. Someone will definitely impeach them for what they did in Jinling..."

"I also have to give an explanation to my servants, the crown prince will also be punished!"

This is also unavoidable, otherwise, no matter what the majesty of the Great Ming Law, officials all over the world will be corrupt to their heart's content.

"How is the battle in Jinling now?"

When mentioning this matter, Zhu Xianming sighed: "There is not much improvement, only a group of Japanese pirates are surrounded on the shore, and these people have not been wiped out yet!"

"The decline in the strength of the guard is shocking!"

Yang Qingyin said slowly: "The prosperous place of Jinling has been in peace for sixty years since the ancestors swept the world. The army has not been tempered in battle, and the decline in combat power is inevitable!"

With another long sigh, Zhu Xianming said rather helplessly: "I have devoted myself to restoring the achievements of my ancestors, and I did not hesitate to do those things for this reason. Now I have been in power for ten years..."

After being an emperor for ten years, he barely managed to maintain the situation. To be honest, he was still a little far away from restoring the grand occasion of the past.

Yang Qingyin has seen how hard her husband has worked all these years.

At this moment her husband was sad, Yang Qingyin hurriedly comforted her: "If your Majesty hadn't weathered the wind and rain and personally braved the storm, how would the world be in peace today?"

This is indeed the truth, without Zhu Xianming's efforts to conquer the north and south, the situation in the world will only become worse.

The development of the dynasty is particularly general. Zhu Xianming's ten years as emperor have slowed down the development of the general trend, and he is already outstanding among emperors.

Hearing his wife's reassurance at this moment, Zhu Xianming felt a little more at ease, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat vegetables.

Without outsiders disturbing, the family of three sitting together seemed warm and peaceful.
