Shi Heng's heart skipped a beat when he heard what Zheng Zhong said about the great wealth.
Regarding matters in North Korea, the imperial court did not give him any notice, and he did not know much about the fact that Lord Shouyang was killed by Xu Youzhen.
But he learned about the war in North Korea immediately.
He didn't know who was fighting whom or why.
Because he didn't know the exact situation in his mind, he could only be cautious and cautious.
"Where does this great wealth come from?"
"When Lord Shouyang was in power, he put all the gold and silver accumulated in the North Korean treasury for decades to the north. When Seoul changed greatly, the lower officials collected all the gold and silver. As long as General Shi did not fight with Seoul, Attack Pyongyang together, and on the contrary, give Pyongyang some support. All these gold and silver will be dedicated to the Ming Dynasty." Zheng Zhong said seriously.
After hearing this, Shi Heng's expression changed slightly.
Although he is here in front of the king of the mountain, he is free and easy, but he also has a heart of loyalty to the emperor and wants to do what he can for his majesty and the court. Now after listening to Zheng Zhong's words, he feels a little greedy.
You are confused, I will kill you. Your gold and silver still belong to Ming Dynasty. Maybe you can still occupy Pyongyang City and use it as a small county seat of Anping County.
Although Shi Heng hid it well, Zheng Zhong saw some of Shi Heng's thoughts.
He slowly said: "General Shi, I know what you are thinking, but General Shi, there is so much wealth in North Korea in Pyongyang. How could the people in Seoul not know that once you attack us, Seoul's army will follow?" And when the time comes, how will the gold and silver be divided, and how can the Ming Dynasty rob the wealth of small foreign countries, it will be very troublesome, and if the general is not good, he will get into trouble."
"How much gold and silver there is."
"More than eight hundred thousand taels of fine silver and six thousand taels of gold."
After Shi Heng heard this, he stood up suddenly.
Eight hundred thousand silver and six thousand gold.
Can you get so many things with just some food and weapons?
Zheng Zhong looked at Shi Hengzhi's performance and knew that he had already succeeded halfway.
However, Shi Heng was not dazzled by this huge number. After a brief moment of calm, he slowly said: "This matter is serious and needs to be reported to the court before a decision can be made."
"We have sent people to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. I still want to ask General Shi whether the Ming Dynasty wants these more than 800,000 taels of silver and more than 6,000 taels of gold." Zheng Zhong said hurriedly.
"Yes, why not."
"But the center wants it or not."
After hearing Zheng Zhong's words, Shi Heng suddenly thought of Yu Qian, Li Xian and others. These two people were both scholars. Now they are doing it like a business. I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult to support the rebels.
Looking at Shi Heng silently.
Zheng Zhong asked again: "If the center doesn't want it, will General Shi be willing to keep it for the Ming Dynasty? As the saying goes, if the general is outside, your life will be compromised."
"Don't talk about this. This is a common saying. Usually generals who use the excuse that the general is out and the emperor's orders are not accepted will not end well." Shi Heng quickly waved his hand and refused.
Although he was a reckless man, Shi Heng was very repelled by this kind of thing. You kill the prisoners of the enemy country and steal some gold and silver from the women of the enemy country. This kind of thing can be ignored by the central emperor without asking or going into details. But if it is a big issue, If you still use this sentence to do something, even if you get some credit, it won't end well.
Your Majesty doesn't care whether your original intention is for the good of the country or not. He will not allow such self-initiated events to happen.
Shi Heng knew this red line very well.
Zheng Zhong sighed and said, "Is it possible that the center will agree to this?"
Shi Heng paced back and forth, speechless. The idea of sending troops to Pyongyang appeared in his mind again. No matter what, if the court did not agree, he would capture Pyongyang city. Anyone who dared to steal gold and silver from the Ming army would be killed. who.
Compared with the big thing of crossing the red line and making private claims, the title of a proud soldier seems a bit insignificant.
………………
The capital of the Ming Dynasty, in the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Jianshen looked depressed. He thought that he should let himself know the trump card in Pyongyang's hands last night, so he sent someone to ask Zhan Yang. He was told that your Majesty, don't be anxious. I have decided to see Li Jidian after the meeting tomorrow.
This reply made Zhu Jianshen dumbfounded.
Good guy, he is really a working man, he has a working soul, and all working men are superior to others.
The Ming Dynasty refuses 996, refuses exploitation, and never works overtime. It starts with Zhan Yang, who knows the Spring and Autumn Period.
Zhu Jianshen also couldn't help but think that it was said that capitalism sprouted in the mid-Ming Dynasty, and now it seems that it is indeed true.
At today's DPRK meeting, the matters discussed were still benevolent governance, and the changes in North Korea were not mentioned.
Xu Youzhen's affairs in Qinyang Mansion are mostly over, food prices have dropped, and people with old people and children have also received gifts from the court.
But Xu Youzhen wrote that he would personally handle the final inspection and acceptance, and that his return to Beijing would be postponed a little later.
It is possible that he will not return to the capital for the Chinese New Year this year.
This made Zhu Jianshen very pleased. Xu Youzhen had changed a bit, which was a good thing for the country and the court.
It seems that when he has time, he still has to arrange for Xu Youzhen to meet his father, the Supreme Emperor, and then see if his heart has changed. Only after the last test is passed, Zhu Jianshen will really choose to trust Xu Youzhen. M.biQuge.biZ
After the incident of King Ning, Li Xian recommended Xu Youzhen to be appointed as the Minister of Rites, in charge of all matters in the Ministry of Rites, and to be promoted to the Grand Scholar of Wuyingdian to join the cabinet.
Everything was going smoothly, but when they arrived at Zhu Jianshen's place, they were stopped.
It is possible to be granted the title of Minister of Rites, but not to be promoted.
When Xu Youzhen found out, she was not angry. She thought that His Majesty thought that she was too young and not qualified enough, so he did not agree to her position in the cabinet at this time.
But Xu Youzhen didn't know that Zhu Jianshen had other ideas.
On the one hand, he has lingering fears about Xu Youzhen's kick-in in the original history. On the other hand, Xu Youzhen did make great contributions, but his external image is that of a treacherous minister who only caters to the little emperor. With such a reputation, if he successfully enters the cabinet, he will also Let a bad atmosphere appear in the Ming Dynasty.
If you are not capable enough, if you can speak, if you can speak, just speak more and make His Majesty feel comfortable, and you will naturally be promoted.
This is not a good thing for Daming.
Therefore, Zhu Jianshen came first to consider Xu Youzhen. The two of them could even talk about his father's affairs, so they were true confidants. Secondly, he also wanted to postpone it for two or three years to correct the trend and establish a new trend.
Although the ministers avoided talking about the issue of the Supreme Emperor, Zhu Jianshen knew very well that his father was in the Ming Dynasty. As for where he was, he didn't know.
But if he brings up old matters again and asks Xu Youzhen to visit the Supreme Emperor on his behalf, he will know where his father is and can make more preparations, killing two birds with one stone.
Although Jinyiwei Zhu Ji also knew where the Supreme Emperor moved.
But Zhu Jianshen was making insinuations, and Zhu Ji just pretended that he didn't understand.
This matter still depends on Xu Youzhen.
After the New Year, preparations begin.
Zhu Jianshen thought that Zhan Yang must be talking to the North Korean envoy now.
Zhang Bao said softly from the side: "Your Majesty, the lecturer will be here soon. Your Majesty needs to make some preparations."
After Zhu Jianshen heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Okay, you first send someone to the Ministry of Rites and inform Mr. Zhan that after the discussion, let him enter the palace immediately. I want to see him."
"Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please read the book first." With that, Zhang Bao went down to make arrangements.
Although Zhu Jianshen only stayed in the palace, he still had a full schedule every day.
The greatest relaxation is to look at his precious porcelain and go for a walk in the back garden.
The rest of the time he spent either reading classics or listening to memorials read by Zhang Bao from various places.
There were many government affairs in the country, but he did not get involved in most of them and just kept an eye on a few things.
Liaodong changed soil into flow.
Qinyang Prefecture’s disaster relief work.
Thanks to the benevolent government of the old man.
Now we have added the dispute between Pyongyang and Seoul in North Korea.
Zhu Jianshen really wants to grow up and have a queen and concubines when he grows up. Of course, this is not the point.
The point is to have more energy to participate in national affairs...
