But soon, Zhou Xing took control of the entire Jin capital with lightning speed.

Suppress all the panic and riots caused by King Jin's death, and at the same time, block the news!

In particular, it is strictly forbidden to send news to the north!

Then, headed by the seventh prince Zhou Ming, a large group of civil and military officials from the Jin Dynasty gathered together. Based on the saying that a country cannot be without a king for a day, a country cannot be without a master for a day, they entrusted the eldest prince Zhou Xing to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Zhou Xing naturally refused sternly.

He severely reprimanded the seventh prince Zhou Ming in front of the entire people of the Jin capital, claiming that his father had just passed away, and as a human son, he should first bury his father in the Imperial Mausoleum of the Jin Dynasty, and then observe filial piety for his father.

After this set of procedures is completed, according to the tradition of establishing a eldest son, he can inherit the throne with the support of civil and military officials.

As soon as this incident came out, people in the Jin capital praised him one after another, claiming that the eldest prince Zhou Xing was indeed a filial son!

Although her abilities are not as good as those of Princess Changping, her filial piety alone is enough to move the world and inherit the throne.

After all, although Princess Changping is amazingly talented and beautiful, she is only a member of the female class and has no heirs. How can she become a great treasure?

If things ended here, Zhou Xing would not be able to continue acting at all.

So Zhou Ming naturally can't stop!

The two of them joined forces, and there was a drama of three invitations and three resignations!

Finally, for the third time, Zhou Xing agreed to bury Zhou Tai'an immediately, and at the same time postpone the period of mourning, ascend the throne first, and stabilize the situation in the world.

So, on the third day after Zhou Tai'an's death, Zhou Xing, surrounded by civil and military officials and the seventh prince Zhou Ming, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, named King Jin!

From now on, he is the king of a country!

However, he had just become the king of a country and had not yet had time to enjoy it.

Zhou Xing discovered a very serious problem: the treasury was empty!

The reason why he was able to succeed this time was because he received support from nobles, aristocratic families in the Jin capital, as well as the seventh prince Zhou Ming and others.

However, one by one of these powerful people, they are all masters who do not see rabbits and do not let go of hawks. No matter how nice they are, it will not help. They must come up with real money and related benefits.

As the eldest prince, Zhou Xing was considered wealthy on weekdays, but he would definitely not be able to spend so much money at the same time.

But Zhou Xing didn't think this was a problem before.

After all, if it fails, you will be a good man again in eighteen years. At that time, what will you care about money?

If it succeeds, then he will be the new King of Jin and the king of a country!

At that time, he can control the national treasury and internal treasury at will, and the money will be nothing.

But when he actually sat in this position, he was completely dumbfounded.

Because there is basically no money in either the national treasury or the internal treasury.

It was okay to maintain the basic operation of the court, but it was impossible to help him pay back the money.

But I have to pay back the money!

As the king of a country, it is not impossible for him to forcefully refuse the debt.

But as a new king who had just ascended to the throne, he did such a thing when he first came to power. What would the nobles and noble families who helped him in the past think? What prestige can he still have?

Especially nowadays, he is not the only one who is qualified to inherit the throne of Jin King. There is also an old seventh man in the Jin capital!

So no matter what, this money must be paid back!

But after much thought, Zhou Xing couldn't come up with any good idea.

With no choice but to ask the Minister of Accounts to check the accounts, he hoped that there were loopholes in the current expenditure of the treasury and that he could exploit the loopholes.

Who would have thought that he would actually find a flaw!

When the old Jin King Zhou Tai'an was there, the Jin Dynasty did not say that the country was rich and the people were strong, but the people's lives were pretty good, and the Jin capital was extremely prosperous.

So it stands to reason that the treasury cannot be so empty.

Unless the old King of Jin expected that they would rebel, and then transferred the money from the treasury in advance!

However, it turned out that this was not the case, otherwise the old King Jin would not have died so easily.

But there is indeed a huge expenditure in the treasury, and this expenditure is the main reason why the Jin treasury is now extremely empty!

The old king of Jin Dynasty, Zhou Tai'an, deposited most of the money in the treasury into the money-tagging shop!

And it’s still deposited at 30% interest!

This kind of interest rate is definitely the highest among all the nobles and aristocratic families in the Jin capital.

Because the old King of Jin also saved the most money!

But, if you want to take out this money, you have to wait!

At least half a year, at most five years!

How can you afford to wait?

He, Zhou Xing, has to use this money now!

However, what he wanted to get back was not just the money.

The emptiness of the treasury made him completely pay attention to the money-grubbing shop, which in the past seemed to him to be nothing more than a clown-like existence.

Even the old King of Jin has deposited money in it, not to mention those aristocratic and noble families.

In addition, Li Changkong also has his own rouge industry-Hongxiu Xiang.

All this money is stored in money-tagging shops.

If such a large amount of money were obtained, it would probably be enough for Da Jin's expenses in the next five to ten years!

Unknowingly, a touch of greed arose deep in Zhou Xing's eyes.

There is no file somewhere in my hand, but it is clearly a lot of banknotes!

However, this matter still needs long-term consideration.

Although the wealth in this money hunting shop is countless, it is as rich as a country.

But the money did not belong to Li Changkong. If it only belonged to Li Changkong, he would have just snatched it away.

Da Qian is now unable to protect himself. What can a mere Da Qian envoy do to him?

The key is that most of the money comes from Jin people's money hunting shops.

If he just took it without a suitable reason, the people in the world would probably not agree to it.

We must come up with a perfect solution!

The next day, an edict came from the palace announcing that Li Changkong had entered the palace for negotiations.

However, a long time after the edict came out, Zhou Xing didn't wait for Li Changkong.

When I asked, I found out that I couldn’t find it at all!

Even the grandmaster who was inseparable from Li Changkong also disappeared.

There is only one Zhen Jian left.

That's all, Zhen Jian is Zhen Jian. After Zhou Xing found out, he could only make do with it.

But what he didn't expect was that such an ant-like thing would dare to refuse his request!

So, that night, a decree came out from the palace to seal down the Money Taoist Shop and Hongxiuxiang!

The reason is that Ganren is not qualified to do business in Dajin.

Zhen Jian was also directly deported back to China.

As for Li Changkong and Li Jibei, Zhou Xing didn't care at all.

Anyone who dares to show up will be sent back to the country together!

However, what surprised him was that even though he had achieved this level, Li Changkong and Li Jibei still did not appear.

The reason why he chose to be sent back to his country was not to kill him directly.

After all, I still don’t want to offend Da Gan.

Although Daqian is suffering terribly because of the war in northern Xinjiang, there is no telling whether the country will be destroyed.

At this time, Zhou Xing did not dare to offend anyone to death.

After all, this is the country where our ancestors produced such outstanding figures as Gaozu Qian and Emperor Qianwu!
