Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 603 If
The eunuch here is not low in rank, judging by the color of the robes, he is still a ceremonial supervisor, but he is so ignorant of the rules and recklessly barged in, the Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment.

Xu Gao was also from a supervisor of ceremonies, and he still knew this person. Jiao Dalin, the ninth Bingbi who ranked relatively low, came back with the eunuch guarding Nanjing. Jiao Dalin was not only good at flattering, but also really rich and powerful, he spent a lot of money, and finally climbed into the Supervisor of Rituals.

Even Xu Gao has benefited a lot from him!
Seeing that Jiao Dalin violated the emperor's taboo, he was stunned for a moment, Xu Gao hurriedly opened his mouth to scold Jiao Dalin.

"Who is coming, I didn't see His Majesty coming here again, so I quickly retreated, otherwise, be careful of your dog's head!"

Having been a poor job in front of Chongzhen all his life, Xu Gao said this skillfully, pretending not to know each other deliberately, reminding Jiao Dalin to leave quickly, and then he made up a nonsense with Long Live Lord, pretending to check, but this Jiao Dalin finally climbed up. The supervisor of ceremonies said goodbye.

Man is worthy of your money!But with this IQ, it's better not to be in the prison of ceremonies!Shouting and looking at Jiao Dalin, Xu Gao thought to himself.

Who knows that people are looking for death, but they really can't stop it. Hearing Xu Gao yelling, Jiao Dalin seemed to have just realized it. He knelt down on the ground with a plop and turned over to the table. Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was stunned. He kowtowed and said, "Jiao Dalin, the eunuch who is the chief inspector of ceremonies, kowtows to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Good guy, with this IQ, you can basically say goodbye to your head, and you have to implicate the man!With a groan in his heart, looking at Jiao Dalin who was kneeling on the ground, Xu Gao felt pity again.

However, the Emperor Chongzhen is in a particularly depressed mood. It is rare that there is an eunuch who works diligently and seems to have no intentions. Yes, let's all go down!"

Fortune favors fools?Surprised, Xu Gao hurriedly bowed his hands and was about to retreat, but who knew that Jiao Dalin, that idiot, had done an astonishing outrageous move again, he had no intention of retreating at all, instead he kowtowed again.

"Your Majesty is worried about dispatching Ning Yuan's military salary?"

As soon as this painting came out, Xu Gao felt a little bit in his heart. The Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were as sharp as a falcon for a moment, and there was also a hint of fierceness, but looking at Jiao Dalin who seemed to be stupid, after a while, Chongzhen's fierceness was hard to come by. He backed away, but shook his head helplessly.

"You slave, do you want to donate money to share my worries?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, although I have a small savings, it is not enough to support the military salary, but I know that someone is willing to solve the military salary needs for Your Majesty, one-time, 100 million taels of silver!"

Breathing hard again, Xu Gao felt that he was about to faint, and Emperor Chongzhen's eyes lit up again, vigilance and excitement flashed in his eyes together, after a pause, Zhu Youjian asked with some doubts: "Oh? Who can help the imperial court? Hurry up and announce, I want to see him!"

Who knew that Jiao Dalin shook his head again: "Your Majesty, that person said that His Majesty must condescend to take it in person, otherwise, even if you kill the humble official, Your Majesty will not find a tael of silver!"

"Bold, how dare you threaten His Majesty!" Xu Gao was really going to faint this time. Seeing the anger on Emperor Chongzhen's face, the eunuch jumped up suddenly like cutting his life again, and pointed at Jiao Jiao. Dalin shouted and cursed loudly, but unfortunately, Jiao Dalin still looked silent and shook his head slightly.

"Your Majesty, there are too many untrustworthy people in the court. If you just change someone to pick it up, how do you know that the money will reach the inner coffers and then be transported to Ningyuan?"

This remark stunned Emperor Chongzhen again, but it spoke to his heart. He believed in almost none of the civil and military affairs of the court. Seeing Jiao Dalin's indifferent appearance, Emperor Chongzhen hesitated for five or six minutes before he finally made a difficult decision. Nod.

"Xu Gao, go wear Cao Huachun, Luo Yangxing, call Dongchang, Jinyiwei troops!"

"Your Majesty, this may be a trap!"

"This is my capital, don't I even dare to leave the second palace?"

I really need this 100 million taels of military pay!If in the past, Emperor Chongzhen really would have looked forward and backward for a long time, but this time, it was rare for him to make up his mind so quickly. In desperation, he gave Jiao Dalin another fierce look, and Xu Gao hurried out of the palace.

Naturally, safety is the first priority for the emperor to travel, and the fanzi of Dongchang spread out like fleas on the poor. Even if Zhu Youjian wanted to keep a low profile, there were still more than 500 Jinyiwei guards with him, and they carried him out with dragons After entering the palace, the news of the emperor's leaving the palace immediately flew out like a president's wings, and all kinds of spies surrounded him from all directions.

The enemies of the capital at this juncture are not only the spies and various assassins who broke into the army, but also the plague. Cao Huachun followed him in sweat, and Luo Yangxing did not dare to delay for a moment. All the people are either driven into the house and not allowed to come out, or dragged away directly. In short, not even a fly is allowed within 300 meters. Fortunately, Jiao Dalin leads the Guangming Avenue. It's really not enough to order Jinyiwei troops.

I walked almost half a street, and the places I passed along the way were rich ministers or honored families. I looked at the high gates of each family, the resplendent pavilions, and thought about the ten or twenty taels donated by them. Yinzi, Emperor Chongzhen really had mixed feelings.

After walking two streets, Jiao Dalin finally stopped in front of a rather tall and luxurious building in Zhushikou, and nodded to Luo Yangxing.

"It's here!"

Afterwards, Long Jia also stopped in front of this building, looking at the golden signboard, Emperor Chongzhen shook his head curiously, but Cao Huachun couldn't help but gasped.

"Huachun, what's wrong?"

"Return to the master!" Hearing the emperor's curious question, the eunuch in charge of the East Factory clasped his fists solemnly: "This Jiaduobao bank account is the property of Song Qingshu, a rebellious minister of the Lianghuai River!"

"Ping Liao General Song Qingshu!"

This name obviously made Emperor Chongzhen angry, but at this time, Jiao Dalin led the horse to the imperial chariot again, bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, can you go in and talk?"

"Open the door!"

Suppressing his anger, Zhu Youjian waved his hands like chasing flies away.

I knocked rhythmically five times in front of the wooden door, and I knocked back three times on the inside of the door, and then there was a creaking sound of prying it open, and the sealed ticket number door burst open, and Jin Yiwei broke in immediately. The store manager also shrank aside without any resistance, letting Jin Yiwei take control of the overall situation.

In the front, Jiao Dalin was not at all like a eunuch striding forward to lead the way, but in the back, like Cao Huachun, Luo Yangxing bent over and carefully waited on Chongzhen, walked into the backyard, opened the already empty warehouse, Jiao Dalin was familiar with driving the mechanism at the corner of the wall. During the rotation of countless gears, the two-meter-thick wall suddenly split open, revealing a passage deep underground.

Cao Huachun still wanted to stop him, but Chongzhen's curiosity was really aroused this time. Under the careful followers of those Jin Yiwei, he went down to the basement floor in person. The torch shone around, and the whole group was reflected by the golden light, densely packed On the top, there are 50 taels of silver ingots, layer upon layer, and there are countless.

"Ku Yin!"

Picking up an ingot casually, Luo Yangxing suddenly screamed in amazement, and Zhu Youjian was also surprised when he heard it, and picked up an ingot, and there was indeed a fire seal of the Ministry of Households on it.

"I said why the national treasury is so empty, General Ping Liao really has great powers! He was able to remove so much treasury silver under the nose of the capital!" The pinched silver almost creaked, full of ridicule and anger, The emperor yelled sharply, but who knew Jiao Dalin shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"The Jiaduobao bank accepts deposits and withdrawals of silver, and never asks where the money comes from? The adult has great powers to deposit it, and the humble official doesn't know about it. Anyway, when the general handed over this bank to the humble official, it was like this! If Your Majesty wants to know, Governor Cao of Dongchang is here!"

This indifferent and condescending attitude made Emperor Chongzhen feel more and more uncomfortable. Looking around, the emperor once again roared angrily.

"Slave dog, colluding with foreign ministers, eating inside and outside, are you not afraid that I will kill you?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Since the beginning of the humble job in northern Shaanxi, I followed the commander-in-chief to escape. My life belongs to the commander-in-chief. I have never been loyal to your majesty for a day. Therefore, there is no such thing as saying that I am a humble official. , As for killing or cutting, it is His Majesty's business, and has nothing to do with humble positions!"

Although he said it indifferently, he was full of pride from his heart. Even when the eunuch was the most powerful, Wei Zhongxian would look like a slave when he saw the emperor, but he, Jiao Dalin, a humble and unknown little eunuch, was like this Equality and even talking to the emperor aloofly, even if he was hacked into pieces, his life would not have been in vain!

"Rebellious officials and thieves! Your Majesty, there is no way to investigate the humble position, please punish the crime, come, and quickly take down this dog slave!"

Scared that Hun'er almost didn't come out, Cao Huachun immediately roared angrily like cutting his life, dozens of Jin Yiwei also wanted to rush up, but looking at Jiao Dalin's indifferent face, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly He raised his hand abruptly.

"Forget it, let him go, Yin Zizhen saw it, slave..., Eunuch Jiao, you can go back to the palace!"

"His Majesty!"

Cao Huachun clenched his fists and wanted to say something, but Zhu Youjian stretched out his hand to stop him, still acting so indifferently, Jiao Dalin just bowed and slowly got out of the crowd.

"Your Majesty, why don't you take this thief down!" Luo Yangxing couldn't help asking in astonishment, but Zhu Youjian's face was full of envy.

"This person can be considered a righteous man. There are too few people like this under my command! Besides, those who show up on the surface are better than those who play tricks behind the scenes. Let him go!"

"Your Majesty is brilliant, this is a long line to catch big fish!" Cao Huachun immediately flattered and slapped over, but looking at the big ingots of official silver beside him, the emperor was not in the slightest mood, just waving waved.

"move!"

Historians have analyzed many times. In the 17th year of Chongzhen, in [-] AD, Emperor Chongzhen still had two opportunities to save the Ming Empire. One of them was to transfer Ningyuan soldiers back to guard the capital. In history, Emperor Chongzhen was indecisive. It wasn't until Li Zicheng had surpassed Ningwuguan, and occupied Taiyuan, Xuanfu, and Datong successively, that he forced Wu Sangui to abandon the Guandong trip as a political leader and defend the capital, but it was too late, until the capital fell, and Wu Sangui was still far away There are seven or eight days away.

But now, Li Zicheng has just started the Northern Expedition, and Song Qingshu has helped Emperor Chongzhen raise the military salary, and according to the government's virtue of drifting 1309%, he directly helped Chongzhen prepare [-] million taels of silver, ensuring that the full amount of military salary can reach the Ningyuan Army In his hands, although he is still not optimistic about the Ming Dynasty, but now it is more than a month early, Song Qingshu is very curious about what the battle of the capital will be like this time.

Especially Wu Sangui, the famous Manchu running dog in history, can he become the hero of Ming Dynasty this time?

Song Qingshu was very curious...
